1 00:00:02,830 --> 00:00:08,230 [Music] 2 00:00:11,430 --> 00:00:09,110 hello 3 00:00:13,589 --> 00:00:11,440 and welcome to episode number seven of 4 00:00:18,070 --> 00:00:13,599 the point of convergence podcast 5 00:00:20,470 --> 00:00:18,080 as always i'm your host exo academian 6 00:00:22,710 --> 00:00:20,480 dr jacques villa is often considered 7 00:00:24,950 --> 00:00:22,720 ufology's gold standard 8 00:00:26,310 --> 00:00:24,960 by bringing the entire scope of human 9 00:00:28,390 --> 00:00:26,320 history to bear 10 00:00:29,429 --> 00:00:28,400 he's taken the discussion of the ufo 11 00:00:32,630 --> 00:00:29,439 phenomenon 12 00:00:33,830 --> 00:00:32,640 to another level entirely while valet 13 00:00:36,870 --> 00:00:33,840 began his career 14 00:00:38,709 --> 00:00:36,880 as a ufo researcher championing the idea 15 00:00:41,030 --> 00:00:38,719 that these aerial vehicles were 16 00:00:42,470 --> 00:00:41,040 spacecraft being piloted either by 17 00:00:45,190 --> 00:00:42,480 beings from another 18 00:00:47,590 --> 00:00:45,200 non-human civilization or via their 19 00:00:50,069 --> 00:00:47,600 representative artificial intelligence 20 00:00:52,869 --> 00:00:50,079 he actually grew to reconsider and doubt 21 00:00:55,590 --> 00:00:52,879 that hypothesis 22 00:00:55,910 --> 00:00:55,600 today while he doesn't exclude the idea 23 00:00:58,310 --> 00:00:55,920 that 24 00:01:00,310 --> 00:00:58,320 at least some of these uaps represent 25 00:01:02,389 --> 00:01:00,320 space traveling civilizations 26 00:01:05,590 --> 00:01:02,399 who originate from some far-flung star 27 00:01:07,350 --> 00:01:05,600 system within our own physical universe 28 00:01:09,190 --> 00:01:07,360 he's come to believe based on the 29 00:01:11,109 --> 00:01:09,200 mountains of data available 30 00:01:12,469 --> 00:01:11,119 much of which he's personally compiled 31 00:01:14,870 --> 00:01:12,479 and comb through 32 00:01:15,510 --> 00:01:14,880 that a much more complex and in his 33 00:01:18,630 --> 00:01:15,520 words 34 00:01:20,390 --> 00:01:18,640 interesting explanation is likely this 35 00:01:23,109 --> 00:01:20,400 more interesting explanation 36 00:01:25,190 --> 00:01:23,119 involves interdimensional entities and 37 00:01:28,310 --> 00:01:25,200 intelligences that may have been here 38 00:01:29,749 --> 00:01:28,320 quote unquote all along popping in and 39 00:01:32,310 --> 00:01:29,759 out of our own dimension 40 00:01:33,749 --> 00:01:32,320 and of our own perception and perhaps 41 00:01:37,270 --> 00:01:33,759 shaping human history 42 00:01:39,590 --> 00:01:37,280 along the way but how does this 43 00:01:41,830 --> 00:01:39,600 non-human intelligence do this 44 00:01:43,270 --> 00:01:41,840 how does it effectively manage human 45 00:01:46,789 --> 00:01:43,280 evolution 46 00:01:47,990 --> 00:01:46,799 they do it via what jock calls a control 47 00:01:51,830 --> 00:01:48,000 system 48 00:01:53,590 --> 00:01:51,840 topic of this 49 00:01:56,310 --> 00:01:53,600 the seventh edition of the point of 50 00:01:58,389 --> 00:01:56,320 convergence podcast 51 00:01:59,910 --> 00:01:58,399 but before we get to valet's control 52 00:02:01,109 --> 00:01:59,920 system hypothesis 53 00:02:02,870 --> 00:02:01,119 let's talk a little bit about his 54 00:02:05,109 --> 00:02:02,880 background so we can understand how he 55 00:02:07,350 --> 00:02:05,119 got to where he is now 56 00:02:09,029 --> 00:02:07,360 valet's resume is a long and impressive 57 00:02:10,949 --> 00:02:09,039 one a native of france 58 00:02:13,190 --> 00:02:10,959 valet was a mathematics student at the 59 00:02:14,150 --> 00:02:13,200 sorbonne and received a master of 60 00:02:17,350 --> 00:02:14,160 science degree in 61 00:02:18,630 --> 00:02:17,360 astrophysics at leel university his 62 00:02:20,630 --> 00:02:18,640 professional career 63 00:02:23,910 --> 00:02:20,640 began as an employee at the french space 64 00:02:25,350 --> 00:02:23,920 committee working at paris observatory 65 00:02:27,110 --> 00:02:25,360 it was there by the way that his 66 00:02:30,710 --> 00:02:27,120 interest in ufos began 67 00:02:33,270 --> 00:02:30,720 but we'll get to that shortly in 1962 68 00:02:35,270 --> 00:02:33,280 he moved to the u.s and served as an 69 00:02:36,070 --> 00:02:35,280 astronomer at the university of texas at 70 00:02:37,509 --> 00:02:36,080 austin 71 00:02:39,990 --> 00:02:37,519 where he was responsible for 72 00:02:43,270 --> 00:02:40,000 co-developing the first computer-based 73 00:02:44,949 --> 00:02:43,280 detailed map of mars for nasa 74 00:02:48,070 --> 00:02:44,959 from there he moved on to northwestern 75 00:02:49,589 --> 00:02:48,080 university where he earned a phd in ai 76 00:02:51,910 --> 00:02:49,599 and began working closely with the 77 00:02:53,990 --> 00:02:51,920 famous dr j ellen heineck 78 00:02:55,030 --> 00:02:54,000 the u.s air force's top scientific 79 00:02:58,630 --> 00:02:55,040 consultant 80 00:03:00,470 --> 00:02:58,640 on ufos under project blue book 81 00:03:02,550 --> 00:03:00,480 valet went on to work for heineck and 82 00:03:05,110 --> 00:03:02,560 project blue book to create the first 83 00:03:07,110 --> 00:03:05,120 interactive computer database of ufo 84 00:03:09,350 --> 00:03:07,120 observations 85 00:03:11,190 --> 00:03:09,360 in addition to authoring numerous books 86 00:03:11,910 --> 00:03:11,200 ballet served as steven spielberg's 87 00:03:13,509 --> 00:03:11,920 advisor 88 00:03:16,070 --> 00:03:13,519 during the making of close encounters of 89 00:03:18,790 --> 00:03:16,080 the third kind and was the inspiration 90 00:03:19,910 --> 00:03:18,800 for a french ufo investigator in that 91 00:03:21,830 --> 00:03:19,920 film 92 00:03:24,229 --> 00:03:21,840 he is currently working on a project to 93 00:03:27,190 --> 00:03:24,239 analyze ufo materials in a silicon 94 00:03:31,270 --> 00:03:29,030 a few minutes ago i mentioned that 95 00:03:31,990 --> 00:03:31,280 jacques villa's interest in ufos began 96 00:03:35,430 --> 00:03:32,000 during his work 97 00:03:37,509 --> 00:03:35,440 at paris observatory early in his career 98 00:03:39,030 --> 00:03:37,519 it turns out that it was something very 99 00:03:42,149 --> 00:03:39,040 strange and troubling 100 00:03:44,949 --> 00:03:42,159 that sparked that interest and it made 101 00:03:46,949 --> 00:03:44,959 jock question the way modern science 102 00:03:49,830 --> 00:03:46,959 addresses this topic 103 00:03:50,470 --> 00:03:49,840 quoting from an interview here jock says 104 00:03:52,070 --> 00:03:50,480 quote 105 00:03:53,589 --> 00:03:52,080 i've seen things that shouldn't have 106 00:03:56,149 --> 00:03:53,599 been there when i was tracking 107 00:03:58,630 --> 00:03:56,159 satellites at the paris observatory 108 00:03:59,990 --> 00:03:58,640 i saw them visually as part of a team 109 00:04:02,949 --> 00:04:00,000 and that's really what started my 110 00:04:03,750 --> 00:04:02,959 research obviously i had heard of ufos 111 00:04:05,190 --> 00:04:03,760 before then 112 00:04:07,429 --> 00:04:05,200 but i always thought that if there were 113 00:04:10,390 --> 00:04:07,439 ufo astronomers they would see them 114 00:04:11,110 --> 00:04:10,400 and tell us but my first job as an 115 00:04:13,910 --> 00:04:11,120 astronomer 116 00:04:15,750 --> 00:04:13,920 left me disillusioned i was part of a 117 00:04:17,590 --> 00:04:15,760 team that was tracking satellites for 118 00:04:19,670 --> 00:04:17,600 the french space committee 119 00:04:21,349 --> 00:04:19,680 we found ourselves tracking objects that 120 00:04:23,590 --> 00:04:21,359 were not satellites 121 00:04:24,870 --> 00:04:23,600 and were not anything else recognizable 122 00:04:27,510 --> 00:04:24,880 either 123 00:04:28,469 --> 00:04:27,520 one night we got 11 data points on one 124 00:04:30,870 --> 00:04:28,479 of these objects 125 00:04:32,469 --> 00:04:30,880 on a magnetic tape and we wanted to run 126 00:04:34,629 --> 00:04:32,479 the tape through a computer 127 00:04:36,070 --> 00:04:34,639 and compute an orbit and see the thing 128 00:04:38,150 --> 00:04:36,080 again 129 00:04:39,830 --> 00:04:38,160 to this day i can't tell you if it 130 00:04:41,030 --> 00:04:39,840 wasn't some piece of technology that 131 00:04:42,710 --> 00:04:41,040 somebody had 132 00:04:44,629 --> 00:04:42,720 it could have been some very bizarre 133 00:04:46,629 --> 00:04:44,639 piece of human technology 134 00:04:48,469 --> 00:04:46,639 but what intrigued me was that the man 135 00:04:51,350 --> 00:04:48,479 in charge of the project 136 00:04:53,270 --> 00:04:51,360 confiscated the tape and erased it 137 00:04:55,189 --> 00:04:53,280 that's really what got me started 138 00:04:57,749 --> 00:04:55,199 because i suddenly realized that 139 00:05:01,430 --> 00:04:57,759 astronomers saw things that they did not 140 00:05:03,430 --> 00:05:01,440 report unquote 141 00:05:05,189 --> 00:05:03,440 now what jock touched on there is 142 00:05:07,749 --> 00:05:05,199 something we've also addressed on this 143 00:05:10,230 --> 00:05:07,759 podcast several times already 144 00:05:12,950 --> 00:05:10,240 the bias and prejudice in mainstream 145 00:05:15,270 --> 00:05:12,960 science when it comes to this topic 146 00:05:17,430 --> 00:05:15,280 now some people don't understand this 147 00:05:19,350 --> 00:05:17,440 they look at the scientific 148 00:05:20,790 --> 00:05:19,360 principles the methodologies and they 149 00:05:23,350 --> 00:05:20,800 say well surely 150 00:05:24,310 --> 00:05:23,360 investigators will simply pursue the 151 00:05:25,990 --> 00:05:24,320 data 152 00:05:29,430 --> 00:05:26,000 look at the evidence see where it leads 153 00:05:32,230 --> 00:05:29,440 them without bias without prejudice 154 00:05:34,310 --> 00:05:32,240 that's certainly the spirit of science 155 00:05:35,830 --> 00:05:34,320 unfortunately science as it is often 156 00:05:39,029 --> 00:05:35,840 practiced in the modern world 157 00:05:40,629 --> 00:05:39,039 doesn't work that way what you can 158 00:05:43,590 --> 00:05:40,639 research often comes down to what you 159 00:05:45,430 --> 00:05:43,600 can get funded 160 00:05:47,430 --> 00:05:45,440 as well as a short list of what's 161 00:05:51,110 --> 00:05:47,440 considered reasonable to research 162 00:05:54,230 --> 00:05:53,350 but i digress let's get back to jacques 163 00:05:57,830 --> 00:05:54,240 valle's 164 00:05:59,749 --> 00:05:57,840 conceptions around the ufo phenomenon 165 00:06:01,590 --> 00:05:59,759 i want to quote from him here where he 166 00:06:03,510 --> 00:06:01,600 says we are dealing with 167 00:06:06,150 --> 00:06:03,520 a yet unrecognized level of 168 00:06:08,309 --> 00:06:06,160 consciousness independent of man but 169 00:06:11,029 --> 00:06:08,319 closely linked to the earth 170 00:06:13,430 --> 00:06:11,039 i do not believe anymore that ufos are 171 00:06:15,510 --> 00:06:13,440 simply the spacecraft of some race of 172 00:06:17,909 --> 00:06:15,520 extraterrestrial visitors 173 00:06:19,189 --> 00:06:17,919 this notion is too simplistic to explain 174 00:06:21,430 --> 00:06:19,199 their appearance 175 00:06:23,350 --> 00:06:21,440 the frequency of their manifestations 176 00:06:25,110 --> 00:06:23,360 throughout recorded history 177 00:06:26,550 --> 00:06:25,120 and the structure of the information 178 00:06:29,590 --> 00:06:26,560 exchanged with them 179 00:06:31,510 --> 00:06:29,600 during contact 180 00:06:33,749 --> 00:06:31,520 now whenever you read a jacques valet 181 00:06:36,309 --> 00:06:33,759 book or read an interview with him 182 00:06:38,150 --> 00:06:36,319 you'll find that he really values 183 00:06:39,909 --> 00:06:38,160 witness testimony 184 00:06:41,909 --> 00:06:39,919 now he does his homework he makes sure 185 00:06:42,550 --> 00:06:41,919 that the witnesses are as credible as 186 00:06:44,309 --> 00:06:42,560 possible 187 00:06:46,710 --> 00:06:44,319 and he tries to corroborate their 188 00:06:47,510 --> 00:06:46,720 accounts but he considers their 189 00:06:49,510 --> 00:06:47,520 testimony 190 00:06:51,830 --> 00:06:49,520 essential for understanding in this 191 00:06:55,110 --> 00:06:51,840 topic it's important to remember that 192 00:06:58,550 --> 00:06:56,629 so how did jacques get to the point 193 00:07:01,029 --> 00:06:58,560 where he considered the eth 194 00:07:02,230 --> 00:07:01,039 the extraterrestrial hypothesis too 195 00:07:04,309 --> 00:07:02,240 simplistic 196 00:07:05,589 --> 00:07:04,319 an explanation based on the data he was 197 00:07:07,110 --> 00:07:05,599 seeing 198 00:07:09,350 --> 00:07:07,120 but when he considered all of the 199 00:07:11,749 --> 00:07:09,360 evidence especially how the others 200 00:07:14,230 --> 00:07:11,759 will call them that seem to be able to 201 00:07:17,110 --> 00:07:14,240 manipulate space-time itself 202 00:07:19,189 --> 00:07:17,120 the very fabric of reality you might say 203 00:07:22,469 --> 00:07:19,199 and he concluded that they could be from 204 00:07:24,550 --> 00:07:22,479 anywhere and any time therefore even to 205 00:07:26,390 --> 00:07:24,560 the point that these distinctions become 206 00:07:28,230 --> 00:07:26,400 meaningless 207 00:07:30,150 --> 00:07:28,240 valet makes the key point that at 208 00:07:32,230 --> 00:07:30,160 present are categories 209 00:07:33,510 --> 00:07:32,240 are likely faulty or astoundingly 210 00:07:35,909 --> 00:07:33,520 incomplete 211 00:07:37,670 --> 00:07:35,919 because these demonstrations on behalf 212 00:07:39,430 --> 00:07:37,680 of the phenomenon i mean 213 00:07:42,550 --> 00:07:39,440 show us that we don't really understand 214 00:07:45,990 --> 00:07:44,629 and because there are evidently 215 00:07:48,469 --> 00:07:46,000 fundamental flaws 216 00:07:49,749 --> 00:07:48,479 in our understanding our underlying 217 00:07:51,990 --> 00:07:49,759 assumptions 218 00:07:54,550 --> 00:07:52,000 any explanation we come up with is bound 219 00:07:56,629 --> 00:07:54,560 to be grossly flawed 220 00:07:57,749 --> 00:07:56,639 valet has raised string theory and its 221 00:07:59,990 --> 00:07:57,759 postulation that 222 00:08:01,029 --> 00:08:00,000 reality may actually consist of multiple 223 00:08:03,029 --> 00:08:01,039 dimensions 224 00:08:05,670 --> 00:08:03,039 well beyond the three plus one we're 225 00:08:07,749 --> 00:08:05,680 accustomed to and have accounted for 226 00:08:08,790 --> 00:08:07,759 as a way to begin the key word there 227 00:08:12,070 --> 00:08:08,800 being begin 228 00:08:14,550 --> 00:08:12,080 to grapple with this 229 00:08:15,909 --> 00:08:14,560 this direct manipulation of space-time 230 00:08:17,990 --> 00:08:15,919 itself 231 00:08:19,189 --> 00:08:18,000 and how the phenomenon seems to have 232 00:08:21,510 --> 00:08:19,199 been happening 233 00:08:23,110 --> 00:08:21,520 all along human history as we'll get to 234 00:08:24,830 --> 00:08:23,120 in a little while 235 00:08:27,270 --> 00:08:24,840 explains how we end up with the 236 00:08:29,110 --> 00:08:27,280 interdimensional hypothesis 237 00:08:30,550 --> 00:08:29,120 now admittedly we don't know exactly 238 00:08:32,070 --> 00:08:30,560 what that means 239 00:08:34,310 --> 00:08:32,080 except that it opens up many 240 00:08:37,829 --> 00:08:34,320 possibilities beyond traveling across 241 00:08:39,909 --> 00:08:37,839 fixed space as we've long understood it 242 00:08:41,029 --> 00:08:39,919 now this is probably a good time to 243 00:08:43,430 --> 00:08:41,039 raise the issue that 244 00:08:45,110 --> 00:08:43,440 to some people this notion seems 245 00:08:47,750 --> 00:08:45,120 nonsensical 246 00:08:48,949 --> 00:08:47,760 since a dimension is not a place at all 247 00:08:52,150 --> 00:08:48,959 but rather a term 248 00:08:52,550 --> 00:08:52,160 referring to a feature but i would just 249 00:08:55,190 --> 00:08:52,560 add 250 00:08:57,030 --> 00:08:55,200 don't get too caught up in language here 251 00:08:58,470 --> 00:08:57,040 it's the same thing with frequency and 252 00:08:59,670 --> 00:08:58,480 vibration when we talk about 253 00:09:01,509 --> 00:08:59,680 consciousness 254 00:09:03,910 --> 00:09:01,519 these are just vague and grossly 255 00:09:06,550 --> 00:09:03,920 inadequate terms touching on realities 256 00:09:08,550 --> 00:09:06,560 we're only beginning to understand but 257 00:09:11,269 --> 00:09:08,560 nevertheless appear based on the 258 00:09:13,110 --> 00:09:11,279 mounting evidence to be very real 259 00:09:15,110 --> 00:09:13,120 the bottom line is don't dismiss the 260 00:09:18,389 --> 00:09:15,120 conceptions based on your language 261 00:09:23,190 --> 00:09:21,190 take for instance the word quantum now 262 00:09:23,430 --> 00:09:23,200 do some people in new age circles tend 263 00:09:28,470 --> 00:09:23,440 to 264 00:09:31,509 --> 00:09:28,480 everything paranormal they can think of 265 00:09:33,670 --> 00:09:31,519 absolutely but nevertheless what we've 266 00:09:36,070 --> 00:09:33,680 learned about the quantum world 267 00:09:36,949 --> 00:09:36,080 has some interesting overlaps some 268 00:09:38,070 --> 00:09:36,959 corollaries 269 00:09:41,269 --> 00:09:38,080 with what we're seeing with the 270 00:09:43,509 --> 00:09:41,279 phenomenon and consciousness itself 271 00:09:45,430 --> 00:09:43,519 this can help us understand this is why 272 00:09:46,790 --> 00:09:45,440 it's important not to throw the baby out 273 00:09:51,190 --> 00:09:46,800 with the bath water 274 00:09:53,670 --> 00:09:51,200 so to speak now we've touched on how 275 00:09:55,590 --> 00:09:53,680 the manipulation of space-time directly 276 00:09:56,710 --> 00:09:55,600 uh led valet to some of his 277 00:09:59,509 --> 00:09:56,720 interdimensional 278 00:09:59,750 --> 00:09:59,519 uh thinking but there is also the issue 279 00:10:01,910 --> 00:09:59,760 of 280 00:10:03,030 --> 00:10:01,920 human history and how something seems to 281 00:10:06,710 --> 00:10:03,040 have been happening 282 00:10:09,829 --> 00:10:06,720 in terms of the phenomenon all along 283 00:10:10,949 --> 00:10:09,839 in 1969 valet published passport to 284 00:10:12,949 --> 00:10:10,959 magonia 285 00:10:14,870 --> 00:10:12,959 and subsequently turned the ufology 286 00:10:16,949 --> 00:10:14,880 world on its head 287 00:10:18,069 --> 00:10:16,959 by suggesting that the phenomenon has 288 00:10:21,509 --> 00:10:18,079 been going on since 289 00:10:22,230 --> 00:10:21,519 time immemorial in that book he argued 290 00:10:24,710 --> 00:10:22,240 that 291 00:10:25,750 --> 00:10:24,720 while some of the surface facade changes 292 00:10:28,470 --> 00:10:25,760 over time 293 00:10:29,509 --> 00:10:28,480 to accommodate and perhaps lead our 294 00:10:32,150 --> 00:10:29,519 culture 295 00:10:33,509 --> 00:10:32,160 the underlying source or cause is the 296 00:10:36,550 --> 00:10:33,519 same 297 00:10:37,670 --> 00:10:36,560 and i quote the symbolic display seen by 298 00:10:40,230 --> 00:10:37,680 the abductees 299 00:10:40,870 --> 00:10:40,240 is identical to the type of initiation 300 00:10:43,829 --> 00:10:40,880 ritual 301 00:10:45,110 --> 00:10:43,839 or astral voyage that is embedded in the 302 00:10:47,430 --> 00:10:45,120 occult traditions of 303 00:10:49,670 --> 00:10:47,440 every culture this structure of 304 00:10:50,389 --> 00:10:49,680 abduction stories is identical to that 305 00:10:53,430 --> 00:10:50,399 of occult 306 00:10:54,230 --> 00:10:53,440 initiation rituals the ufo beings of 307 00:10:55,670 --> 00:10:54,240 today 308 00:10:58,230 --> 00:10:55,680 belong to the same class of 309 00:11:02,069 --> 00:10:58,240 manifestation as the occult entities 310 00:11:04,150 --> 00:11:02,079 that were described in centuries past 311 00:11:06,470 --> 00:11:04,160 what jacques is pointing to here is that 312 00:11:07,509 --> 00:11:06,480 beyond the facade beyond the surface 313 00:11:09,350 --> 00:11:07,519 structure 314 00:11:11,110 --> 00:11:09,360 some of the underlying elements are 315 00:11:13,430 --> 00:11:11,120 remarkably similar across 316 00:11:14,790 --> 00:11:13,440 time going back into distant human 317 00:11:16,150 --> 00:11:14,800 history 318 00:11:18,230 --> 00:11:16,160 when you compare it with the ufo 319 00:11:21,509 --> 00:11:18,240 phenomenon of today 320 00:11:23,269 --> 00:11:21,519 and this means perhaps that historical 321 00:11:26,550 --> 00:11:23,279 events that were looked at in one 322 00:11:28,470 --> 00:11:26,560 light perhaps should be reconsidered 323 00:11:29,670 --> 00:11:28,480 for instance jacques talks about the 324 00:11:32,870 --> 00:11:29,680 event at fatima 325 00:11:34,710 --> 00:11:32,880 the famous one and he says quote 326 00:11:36,630 --> 00:11:34,720 perhaps the witnesses are getting used 327 00:11:38,150 --> 00:11:36,640 to this phenomenon and are starting to 328 00:11:40,790 --> 00:11:38,160 read things into it 329 00:11:42,630 --> 00:11:40,800 but that's not the only explanation it 330 00:11:44,949 --> 00:11:42,640 may be that the phenomenon itself 331 00:11:46,870 --> 00:11:44,959 is using our reactions to it in order to 332 00:11:49,750 --> 00:11:46,880 turn into something that we expect 333 00:11:51,190 --> 00:11:49,760 or understand we may be carrying a 334 00:11:54,150 --> 00:11:51,200 matrix of imagery 335 00:11:56,790 --> 00:11:54,160 that it somehow picks up a good example 336 00:11:58,069 --> 00:11:56,800 of that is fatima the apparitions 337 00:12:01,910 --> 00:11:58,079 witnessed at fatima 338 00:12:03,750 --> 00:12:01,920 did not start in 1917. they started two 339 00:12:05,990 --> 00:12:03,760 years before that 340 00:12:06,870 --> 00:12:06,000 some of the same kids were involved and 341 00:12:09,430 --> 00:12:06,880 there were also 342 00:12:10,069 --> 00:12:09,440 other witnesses what they saw was a 343 00:12:14,949 --> 00:12:10,079 globe of 344 00:12:17,030 --> 00:12:14,959 with some type of being inside 345 00:12:18,069 --> 00:12:17,040 then they started calling the being an 346 00:12:22,629 --> 00:12:18,079 angel 347 00:12:25,230 --> 00:12:22,639 with them and gave them a prayer 348 00:12:26,790 --> 00:12:25,240 it develops in stages and culminated in 349 00:12:29,110 --> 00:12:26,800 1917 350 00:12:31,269 --> 00:12:29,120 but even then the virgin mary wasn't 351 00:12:35,670 --> 00:12:31,279 seen by everyone who was present 352 00:12:37,670 --> 00:12:35,680 unquote now that is very fascinating 353 00:12:39,910 --> 00:12:37,680 because what jacques is pointing to is 354 00:12:42,790 --> 00:12:39,920 that in this very same event 355 00:12:44,069 --> 00:12:42,800 we see the manifestation change evolve 356 00:12:46,949 --> 00:12:44,079 over time 357 00:12:48,949 --> 00:12:46,959 and as he postulates was it in reaction 358 00:12:51,750 --> 00:12:48,959 to the people that were there 359 00:12:53,430 --> 00:12:51,760 did the manifestation lead them into 360 00:12:54,470 --> 00:12:53,440 seeing it a certain way experiencing a 361 00:12:57,110 --> 00:12:54,480 certain way 362 00:12:58,870 --> 00:12:57,120 or did it somehow interact with their 363 00:12:59,590 --> 00:12:58,880 beliefs their expectations their 364 00:13:01,990 --> 00:12:59,600 assumptions 365 00:13:03,509 --> 00:13:02,000 in order to feed them something they 366 00:13:06,790 --> 00:13:03,519 could comprehend 367 00:13:09,430 --> 00:13:06,800 again fascinating to consider 368 00:13:11,110 --> 00:13:09,440 what we sometimes forget overlook or 369 00:13:12,949 --> 00:13:11,120 don't account for with these kind of 370 00:13:15,110 --> 00:13:12,959 historical incidents 371 00:13:16,550 --> 00:13:15,120 is where they take place and the 372 00:13:19,590 --> 00:13:16,560 underlying assumptions 373 00:13:20,150 --> 00:13:19,600 expectations of that culture now what 374 00:13:22,470 --> 00:13:20,160 happened at 375 00:13:24,230 --> 00:13:22,480 fatima was an area of the world that was 376 00:13:26,069 --> 00:13:24,240 extremely catholic that was the 377 00:13:28,230 --> 00:13:26,079 worldview the dominant worldview it 378 00:13:29,990 --> 00:13:28,240 wasn't even really questioned 379 00:13:32,069 --> 00:13:30,000 and so it's not surprising that when an 380 00:13:33,990 --> 00:13:32,079 event like this occurs 381 00:13:35,350 --> 00:13:34,000 it's going to be interpreted in light of 382 00:13:37,750 --> 00:13:35,360 that world view 383 00:13:39,590 --> 00:13:37,760 and this comes back to what i often say 384 00:13:43,670 --> 00:13:39,600 which is that every event 385 00:13:47,990 --> 00:13:45,590 now we should remember that jacques is 386 00:13:50,470 --> 00:13:48,000 first and foremost a scientist 387 00:13:51,509 --> 00:13:50,480 he sees the phenomenon as a fascinating 388 00:13:54,870 --> 00:13:51,519 opportunity 389 00:13:56,470 --> 00:13:54,880 for scientists to do some great science 390 00:13:58,550 --> 00:13:56,480 and from his point of view we should 391 00:13:59,430 --> 00:13:58,560 study the phenomenon on three different 392 00:14:01,910 --> 00:13:59,440 levels 393 00:14:03,350 --> 00:14:01,920 the physical the psychological and the 394 00:14:05,350 --> 00:14:03,360 sociological 395 00:14:07,829 --> 00:14:05,360 the latter of those three has a lot to 396 00:14:11,189 --> 00:14:07,839 do with the control system hypothesis 397 00:14:13,189 --> 00:14:11,199 that jock proposes but we'll get there 398 00:14:14,629 --> 00:14:13,199 first off let's address the abstrudity 399 00:14:16,870 --> 00:14:14,639 element 400 00:14:17,910 --> 00:14:16,880 if you've read any number of witness 401 00:14:20,870 --> 00:14:17,920 contact d 402 00:14:22,790 --> 00:14:20,880 abductee uh testimonies you'll see that 403 00:14:25,829 --> 00:14:22,800 often there's a level of absurdity 404 00:14:28,550 --> 00:14:25,839 not always but quite often 405 00:14:28,949 --> 00:14:28,560 it offends many people's sense of what 406 00:14:32,550 --> 00:14:28,959 is 407 00:14:34,870 --> 00:14:32,560 common sense and in many ways it doesn't 408 00:14:37,829 --> 00:14:34,880 seem plausible to people 409 00:14:39,110 --> 00:14:37,839 but from jacques point of view absurdity 410 00:14:40,949 --> 00:14:39,120 isn't necessarily 411 00:14:42,829 --> 00:14:40,959 what you think it is and it might have 412 00:14:44,470 --> 00:14:42,839 meaning beyond what you initially 413 00:14:47,430 --> 00:14:44,480 consider 414 00:14:48,470 --> 00:14:47,440 he says quote absurdity doesn't mean 415 00:14:50,550 --> 00:14:48,480 meaningless 416 00:14:52,150 --> 00:14:50,560 the absurd is a signal that has a 417 00:14:53,750 --> 00:14:52,160 property of taking you out of your 418 00:14:56,310 --> 00:14:53,760 normal thinking process 419 00:14:57,670 --> 00:14:56,320 and making you aware of other forms of 420 00:15:00,230 --> 00:14:57,680 thinking that you didn't know 421 00:15:02,470 --> 00:15:00,240 existed it's forcing you to perceive 422 00:15:05,829 --> 00:15:02,480 reality at a different level 423 00:15:07,990 --> 00:15:05,839 xencons for example are absurd 424 00:15:09,110 --> 00:15:08,000 but they are intended to be absurd in a 425 00:15:11,590 --> 00:15:09,120 way that stops 426 00:15:13,590 --> 00:15:11,600 your normal thinking process they make 427 00:15:17,590 --> 00:15:13,600 you aware of your mental process 428 00:15:19,590 --> 00:15:17,600 itself by stopping it 429 00:15:22,230 --> 00:15:19,600 now what jacques is pointing to here is 430 00:15:23,829 --> 00:15:22,240 the subversive nature of the phenomenon 431 00:15:25,590 --> 00:15:23,839 in terms of its interactions with 432 00:15:27,910 --> 00:15:25,600 humankind 433 00:15:30,389 --> 00:15:27,920 perhaps here we are again on the 434 00:15:32,389 --> 00:15:30,399 territory of the subconscious 435 00:15:33,749 --> 00:15:32,399 an area of the human mind that we don't 436 00:15:36,550 --> 00:15:33,759 fully understand 437 00:15:39,350 --> 00:15:36,560 but that we have some idea perhaps plays 438 00:15:43,749 --> 00:15:39,360 an immense role in our ultimate behavior 439 00:15:45,910 --> 00:15:43,759 both as individuals and as a collective 440 00:15:47,110 --> 00:15:45,920 and with that backdrop set we're now 441 00:15:49,509 --> 00:15:47,120 ready to address 442 00:15:50,949 --> 00:15:49,519 and interact with jacques control system 443 00:15:53,829 --> 00:15:50,959 hypothesis 444 00:15:55,350 --> 00:15:53,839 he writes quote i believe that when we 445 00:15:58,230 --> 00:15:55,360 speak of ufo sightings 446 00:15:59,509 --> 00:15:58,240 as instances of space visitations we are 447 00:16:01,990 --> 00:15:59,519 looking at the phenomenon 448 00:16:04,150 --> 00:16:02,000 at the wrong level we are not dealing 449 00:16:05,509 --> 00:16:04,160 with successive waves of visitations 450 00:16:08,310 --> 00:16:05,519 from space 451 00:16:10,150 --> 00:16:08,320 we are dealing with a control system the 452 00:16:10,790 --> 00:16:10,160 thermostats that regulate your house 453 00:16:13,430 --> 00:16:10,800 temperature 454 00:16:14,470 --> 00:16:13,440 summer and winter constitute a control 455 00:16:16,870 --> 00:16:14,480 system 456 00:16:17,670 --> 00:16:16,880 in summer a thermostat allows the air to 457 00:16:19,749 --> 00:16:17,680 get warmer 458 00:16:22,069 --> 00:16:19,759 until a certain limit is reached and 459 00:16:23,990 --> 00:16:22,079 then the cooling system is triggered but 460 00:16:25,110 --> 00:16:24,000 in winter when the outside atmosphere 461 00:16:26,870 --> 00:16:25,120 turns cold 462 00:16:28,949 --> 00:16:26,880 and temperature drops below another 463 00:16:31,670 --> 00:16:28,959 limit then a different mechanism 464 00:16:33,749 --> 00:16:31,680 the heater comes into play and warms the 465 00:16:36,310 --> 00:16:33,759 house 466 00:16:37,670 --> 00:16:36,320 and jacques continues to understand the 467 00:16:40,710 --> 00:16:37,680 whole phenomenon 468 00:16:43,269 --> 00:16:40,720 one needs a grasp of the control concept 469 00:16:43,910 --> 00:16:43,279 and one must be ready to understand that 470 00:16:47,430 --> 00:16:43,920 it needs 471 00:16:50,069 --> 00:16:47,440 two opposite principles for its function 472 00:16:52,949 --> 00:16:50,079 i propose the hypothesis that there is a 473 00:16:55,110 --> 00:16:52,959 control system for human consciousness 474 00:16:57,030 --> 00:16:55,120 i have not determined whether it is 475 00:16:58,710 --> 00:16:57,040 natural or spontaneous 476 00:17:01,350 --> 00:16:58,720 whether it is explainable in terms of 477 00:17:03,910 --> 00:17:01,360 genetics of social psychology 478 00:17:05,189 --> 00:17:03,920 or of ordinary phenomena or if it is 479 00:17:07,189 --> 00:17:05,199 artificial in nature 480 00:17:10,069 --> 00:17:07,199 and under the power of some superhuman 481 00:17:14,710 --> 00:17:10,079 will it may be entirely determined by 482 00:17:17,990 --> 00:17:17,029 and that's jacques control system 483 00:17:20,789 --> 00:17:18,000 hypothesis 484 00:17:23,029 --> 00:17:20,799 in a nutshell now some people have found 485 00:17:25,829 --> 00:17:23,039 his analogy of the thermostat 486 00:17:27,750 --> 00:17:25,839 hot and cold a little obtuse a little 487 00:17:30,070 --> 00:17:27,760 difficult to wrap their heads around 488 00:17:32,789 --> 00:17:30,080 but what he's basically saying is the 489 00:17:35,750 --> 00:17:32,799 entire boundaries of human development 490 00:17:36,390 --> 00:17:35,760 are under control that no matter what 491 00:17:39,190 --> 00:17:36,400 happens 492 00:17:39,990 --> 00:17:39,200 no matter what we do ultimately our 493 00:17:42,710 --> 00:17:40,000 evolution 494 00:17:44,950 --> 00:17:42,720 is managed by the system that has 495 00:17:47,029 --> 00:17:44,960 boundaries 496 00:17:48,390 --> 00:17:47,039 now perhaps a more modern example that 497 00:17:49,430 --> 00:17:48,400 people can wrap their heads around 498 00:17:51,430 --> 00:17:49,440 easily 499 00:17:52,950 --> 00:17:51,440 uh is the premise of the movie the 500 00:17:54,789 --> 00:17:52,960 truman show 501 00:17:56,230 --> 00:17:54,799 the whole point in that movie is that 502 00:17:58,070 --> 00:17:56,240 this character is 503 00:18:00,230 --> 00:17:58,080 living his life thinking he has free 504 00:18:01,430 --> 00:18:00,240 will and to some degree he does within a 505 00:18:03,990 --> 00:18:01,440 certain range 506 00:18:05,430 --> 00:18:04,000 but overall the entire environment the 507 00:18:09,590 --> 00:18:05,440 entire scenario 508 00:18:14,230 --> 00:18:11,669 but how does this control system work 509 00:18:15,669 --> 00:18:14,240 this particular control system where the 510 00:18:18,950 --> 00:18:15,679 aim is to control 511 00:18:20,789 --> 00:18:18,960 manage evolve human consciousness 512 00:18:23,430 --> 00:18:20,799 well here jacques brings up the work of 513 00:18:25,510 --> 00:18:23,440 b.f skinner who was a psychologist 514 00:18:26,950 --> 00:18:25,520 who defined what are called schedules of 515 00:18:29,909 --> 00:18:26,960 reinforcement 516 00:18:32,870 --> 00:18:29,919 bf skinner's specialty was in actually 517 00:18:34,549 --> 00:18:32,880 changing behavior over the long term 518 00:18:35,990 --> 00:18:34,559 and in reference to that i quote from 519 00:18:37,909 --> 00:18:36,000 jacques again quote 520 00:18:40,470 --> 00:18:37,919 if the training is too even and 521 00:18:41,190 --> 00:18:40,480 monotonous the subject may stop in its 522 00:18:44,150 --> 00:18:41,200 development 523 00:18:45,909 --> 00:18:44,160 or even return to an earlier state the 524 00:18:49,350 --> 00:18:45,919 schedule of reinforcement 525 00:18:52,070 --> 00:18:49,360 is one that combines periodicity 526 00:18:52,710 --> 00:18:52,080 with unpredictability learning is then 527 00:18:55,430 --> 00:18:52,720 slow 528 00:18:57,350 --> 00:18:55,440 but continuous it leads to the highest 529 00:19:00,230 --> 00:18:57,360 level of adaptation 530 00:19:03,110 --> 00:19:00,240 and it is irreversible it is interesting 531 00:19:04,950 --> 00:19:03,120 to ask whether the pattern of ufo waves 532 00:19:08,150 --> 00:19:04,960 does not have the same effect as a 533 00:19:10,549 --> 00:19:08,160 schedule of reinforcement 534 00:19:11,830 --> 00:19:10,559 so this is what jock is considering 535 00:19:14,470 --> 00:19:11,840 proposing 536 00:19:15,510 --> 00:19:14,480 the idea that the phenomenon manifests 537 00:19:19,350 --> 00:19:15,520 in different ways 538 00:19:20,070 --> 00:19:19,360 over time opportunely based on a control 539 00:19:22,950 --> 00:19:20,080 system 540 00:19:25,350 --> 00:19:22,960 that defines boundaries so that it can 541 00:19:29,110 --> 00:19:25,360 control and manage and evolve 542 00:19:31,110 --> 00:19:29,120 human consciousness now interestingly 543 00:19:32,230 --> 00:19:31,120 jacques also considers this control 544 00:19:34,630 --> 00:19:32,240 system perhaps 545 00:19:36,070 --> 00:19:34,640 hackable at least he'd like to find out 546 00:19:39,590 --> 00:19:36,080 if it's hackable 547 00:19:41,190 --> 00:19:39,600 but how would you do that i mean this 548 00:19:43,190 --> 00:19:41,200 almost sounds like the matrix 549 00:19:45,029 --> 00:19:43,200 in terms of how jacques is describing 550 00:19:47,190 --> 00:19:45,039 this control system 551 00:19:48,070 --> 00:19:47,200 but how would it be hackable well he 552 00:19:50,070 --> 00:19:48,080 writes 553 00:19:51,990 --> 00:19:50,080 there are ways to gain access to the 554 00:19:55,350 --> 00:19:52,000 reference level of every control 555 00:19:56,470 --> 00:19:55,360 system i know even a child if smart or 556 00:19:58,789 --> 00:19:56,480 daring enough 557 00:20:01,590 --> 00:19:58,799 can climb on a chair change the dial of 558 00:20:03,909 --> 00:20:01,600 a thermostat and elicit a response 559 00:20:04,710 --> 00:20:03,919 it must be possible to gain access to 560 00:20:07,430 --> 00:20:04,720 the control 561 00:20:10,230 --> 00:20:07,440 of the ufo phenomenon to forget the 562 00:20:12,549 --> 00:20:10,240 spirits and the pranks of rhombus 4d 563 00:20:14,390 --> 00:20:12,559 and do some real science but it will 564 00:20:17,669 --> 00:20:14,400 take a very smart approach 565 00:20:19,990 --> 00:20:17,679 or a very daring one 566 00:20:21,590 --> 00:20:20,000 to use another more modern metaphor it 567 00:20:22,390 --> 00:20:21,600 almost sounds like jacques wants to be 568 00:20:24,230 --> 00:20:22,400 the person 569 00:20:26,149 --> 00:20:24,240 to go behind the curtain and meet the 570 00:20:28,390 --> 00:20:26,159 wizard himself 571 00:20:29,909 --> 00:20:28,400 indeed using the analogy of a movie 572 00:20:32,230 --> 00:20:29,919 theater this time 573 00:20:34,630 --> 00:20:32,240 jacques writes instead of looking at the 574 00:20:37,110 --> 00:20:34,640 screen what i want to do is turn around 575 00:20:37,750 --> 00:20:37,120 and look the other way when we look the 576 00:20:39,669 --> 00:20:37,760 other way 577 00:20:42,070 --> 00:20:39,679 what we see is a little hole at the top 578 00:20:44,230 --> 00:20:42,080 of the wall with some light coming out 579 00:20:46,950 --> 00:20:44,240 that's where i want to go i want to 580 00:20:49,669 --> 00:20:46,960 steal the key to the projectionist booth 581 00:20:52,470 --> 00:20:49,679 and then when everybody has gone home i 582 00:20:54,149 --> 00:20:52,480 want to break in 583 00:20:57,029 --> 00:20:54,159 so what do you think about this control 584 00:20:59,750 --> 00:20:57,039 system hypothesis that jacques proposes 585 00:21:01,990 --> 00:20:59,760 does it hold muster for you for me i 586 00:21:04,310 --> 00:21:02,000 think it has a fair amount of merit 587 00:21:05,510 --> 00:21:04,320 i think there is evidence that over time 588 00:21:08,630 --> 00:21:05,520 the manifestations 589 00:21:11,110 --> 00:21:08,640 associated with the phenomenon seem like 590 00:21:13,510 --> 00:21:11,120 boundaries within a control system which 591 00:21:16,710 --> 00:21:13,520 are subversively but inevitably 592 00:21:19,029 --> 00:21:16,720 leading to human evolution 593 00:21:21,110 --> 00:21:19,039 for instance you could argue that there 594 00:21:21,909 --> 00:21:21,120 seems to be scheduled reinforcement 595 00:21:24,310 --> 00:21:21,919 going on 596 00:21:25,029 --> 00:21:24,320 when it comes to our technology and 597 00:21:27,029 --> 00:21:25,039 perhaps 598 00:21:29,029 --> 00:21:27,039 the lack of consciousness with which we 599 00:21:31,029 --> 00:21:29,039 use that technology 600 00:21:32,070 --> 00:21:31,039 sightings over our nuclear facilities 601 00:21:35,110 --> 00:21:32,080 and the manipulation 602 00:21:39,270 --> 00:21:35,120 of our launch mechanisms may be intended 603 00:21:43,430 --> 00:21:41,190 i personally think there is good reason 604 00:21:44,070 --> 00:21:43,440 to believe that there are very good 605 00:21:46,950 --> 00:21:44,080 reasons 606 00:21:49,669 --> 00:21:46,960 why the others are only slowly prepping 607 00:21:51,990 --> 00:21:49,679 us for evolutionary advancement 608 00:21:53,110 --> 00:21:52,000 i also hold it quite possible perhaps 609 00:21:55,190 --> 00:21:53,120 even likely 610 00:21:56,549 --> 00:21:55,200 that our dance with species and 611 00:21:59,590 --> 00:21:56,559 planetary death 612 00:22:00,470 --> 00:21:59,600 has sped up the timetable so to speak or 613 00:22:02,870 --> 00:22:00,480 perhaps that 614 00:22:04,630 --> 00:22:02,880 is another example of hitting the 615 00:22:07,830 --> 00:22:04,640 boundary of the control system 616 00:22:09,750 --> 00:22:07,840 which prompts a response 617 00:22:11,350 --> 00:22:09,760 now when we step back for a moment and 618 00:22:13,350 --> 00:22:11,360 look at the history of 619 00:22:15,110 --> 00:22:13,360 the evolution of human consciousness 620 00:22:17,110 --> 00:22:15,120 what do we see 621 00:22:18,950 --> 00:22:17,120 i would argue that history even 622 00:22:21,750 --> 00:22:18,960 cross-cultural history 623 00:22:22,430 --> 00:22:21,760 shows that evolution leads us inevitably 624 00:22:25,350 --> 00:22:22,440 towards 625 00:22:26,470 --> 00:22:25,360 ever-expanding circles of inclusion 626 00:22:28,870 --> 00:22:26,480 whether we're discussing 627 00:22:29,909 --> 00:22:28,880 civil rights women's rights broader 628 00:22:32,630 --> 00:22:29,919 human rights 629 00:22:34,549 --> 00:22:32,640 animal rights even recent concerns about 630 00:22:37,270 --> 00:22:34,559 how we may have contaminated the moon 631 00:22:38,549 --> 00:22:37,280 with bacteria we brought there this 632 00:22:42,470 --> 00:22:38,559 trend leads 633 00:22:44,789 --> 00:22:42,480 inevitably towards oneness consciousness 634 00:22:47,029 --> 00:22:44,799 i believe even while there are hills 635 00:22:50,070 --> 00:22:47,039 valleys and detours in that path 636 00:22:50,870 --> 00:22:50,080 it is still inevitable to those of us 637 00:22:53,669 --> 00:22:50,880 who see this 638 00:22:55,110 --> 00:22:53,679 it is basically self-evident i've held 639 00:22:57,029 --> 00:22:55,120 that view for a long time 640 00:22:59,430 --> 00:22:57,039 based on the evidence not on wishful 641 00:23:03,029 --> 00:22:59,440 thinking and beyond the scope of the 642 00:23:05,350 --> 00:23:03,039 alien slash ufo conversation 643 00:23:06,390 --> 00:23:05,360 now again that trend towards oneness 644 00:23:08,710 --> 00:23:06,400 consciousness 645 00:23:10,230 --> 00:23:08,720 is only inevitable provided that we 646 00:23:12,310 --> 00:23:10,240 don't blow ourselves up 647 00:23:14,310 --> 00:23:12,320 or completely collapse the biosphere of 648 00:23:16,950 --> 00:23:14,320 the planet along the way 649
