This isn't a theory I actively wholeheartedly believe, it's just something I thought up and feel might be interesting.
A bit of backstory, I never really put too much into the woo stuff. But then in 2021 I almost quite literally manifested nearly a half million euros or so into my bank account. In a rather unlikely manner that wasn’t just making the right bet. I asked for it. It happened. It's an event that for sure changed my perspective on these things as there were just too many weird coincidences and random batshit-crazy-lucky things that happened. That's a story for another time, but it's how I got to thinking more about all this. I still can’t believe it.
I'm not going to explain some of the stuff I mention in here, although I added links to things I found interesting. If you're not familiar with something don't take it as a personal insult and instead just empower yourself, like us GenX kids did, and look that shit up.
I think most of the peeps in here that I'd get along with will have a familiarity with this stuff, it's not anything new, I'm just stitching it together, off the top of my mildly autistic head, in a particular way.
WHAT YOU REAP IS WHAT YOU SOW
Woo Level: Low Woo
I remember once hearing a popular Buddhist expression, something along the lines of, 'Your thoughts create the world.'
I like that expression. It's a good one to keep in mind. The Stoics say a lot of the same kinds of things. What I've always taken it to mean is that your outlook will affect your life. For one, you're much more likely to see the world through the same lens as your mood...which will affect that mood even more causing you to spiral yourself into a mental state incapable of seeing anything else. You create an echo chamber in your own head. By bringing that negativity up you share it with the world. And because people are like mirrors, you're going to get back what you project out.
Ever notice how misery loves company? And people can be clueless in a bunch? Same thing.
So you might as well just do your best to put a positive vibe out, simply just for the rather prosaic (big word these days) reasons outlined above.
Not very woo but there’s more going on to this simple idea.
YOU JUST GOTTA BELIEVE IT INTO BEING
Woo Level: Maybe a Bit of Woo?
Gradually, over time, I encountered many popular pseudoscience ideas like 'The Power of Attraction', and 'Manifestation'. Today the big thing with the TikTok sect is 'Shifting'.
These are all ideas that, to varying degrees of woo, suggest that your will can influence your world.
I didn’t put much into this.
Because of course your will influences your world.
It's the most powerful thing you have to influence your world.
If not by your will how else does one make personal change?
‘If it will be it is up to me’
‘God helps those who help themselves’
My take on these things was always that if you think about it, dream about it, talk about, write about, and don't ever shut up about it, no matter what, eventually, that thing you're totally fixated on is going to influence your life. You'll meet people that can help you, you'll see more opportunity, you move to that opportunity, it ripples out into waves, you literally bring that thing into existence.
Like, take becoming a movie star or an elite athlete as an example. These people poured themselves into a dream and their hard work made it happen. Of course they had to believe in it but there were real things along the way that helped...like maybe they met a roommate that went to an acting school and they then made other connections and they then moved to Hollywood and then 'oh wow I got a start I manifested it'.
Intent is manifestation. Pour your focus into your intent and you too will manifest. For sure.
THE POWER OF PRAYER, PLACEBO, DOUBLE SLIT EXPERIMENT, QUANTUM WAVES
Woo Level: Getting into Some Woo
Here's we get a little more interesting.
Now, I'm a logical but also intuitive guy...and there's a few things that have come along that have given me some new ideas on this stuff.
And those few things have coalesced with a few other things into this weird idea on Disclosure that I have.
People that are into prayer are basically doing the same things that people that are into the Manifestation stuff are doing.
There are instances of prayer working. And we all have heard stories of the power of the placebo effect.
Is that similar?
How does prayer, the placebo effect, manifestation, and all that other stuff fit together?
Well, the double slit experiment and quantum entanglement seem to indicate that the state of something is changed by our awareness of it. And not in a subjective or qualitative way. Like, the state actually changes and this is a measurable thing. It's here where we start to see some overlap between woo and science. Remember that significantly advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic, a smart thing that Arthur C Clarke once said. (Or was it Asimov? I'm going fast here, won't stop to look it up).
Introducing quantum entanglement and 'spooky action at a distance' into all the rest of this starts to give us the basis of some scientifically grounded thinking that feels like it's on the way to explaining the power of prayer, the placebo effect, and 'the power of positive thinking', aka manifestation.
When I say 'on the way', I mean we've got just like a mere 4 points in place of a connect-the-dots big picture that's like a 4k cinematic feature. So, early days,
THE MONROE INSTITUTE, REMOTE VIEWING, GATEWAY PROCESS, HOLOGRAPHIC UNIVERSE
Woo Level: Woo Hoo!
If you're not familiar with the Monroe Institute's Gateway Process here's a link to the original CIA document. Notice how this version is missing page 25...which feels like an important page.
(And here's an excellent write up on the whole thing with the 25 page tracked down and included. Prime woo here, folks.)
If you read those pages, or at least that great Vice story, you'll see where the basis of 'The Power of Attraction', 'Manifestation' and 'Shifting' comes from.
It's some real world and real wild stuff.
The CIA didn't invent the Gateway Process. It was developed by the Monroe Institute as a way to train remote viewing. The CIA came along and based their psychic spies program off of it. Most of you know this.
(But if not.: There's lots of good stuff out there about the history of it: The Why Files covers it, and here are good introductions to some of the woo heavyweights, like David Morehouse, Ingo Swan, and Joseph McMonegal.)
The Gateway Process relates to the Holographic Universe Theory. I think Michael Talbot was the guy that put that together and the book is a great read. It's science driven and he approaches the theory from his discovery of commonality between two quite distinct common paths which gives you some eureka moments along the read.
The short of it is that your thoughts really do create the world. So, remember way back when we started all this and were considering that Buddhist quote?
Well...what if the Buddhists, all this time, have been saying it like it is, straight up, no chaser: 'Bro, when we say 'Your thoughts create the world' what we're saying is YOUR THOUGHTS CREATE THE WORLD. Now shut up, I'm hemi-synching'
GRULSCH, DIANA WALSH-PASULKA, 'TYLER', BLEDSOE, TELEPATHICALLY CONTROLLED CRAFT, WTF IS GOING ON?
Woo Level: Tin Foil Hat
A lot of the woo in the Ufology cult spills directly out of the Monroe Institute. Grusch mentioned the holographic principle to congress and in a couple of interviews, The King of Woo, Chris Bledsoe is hanging out with McMonegal, Colonel John Alexander, and also Tim Taylor, aka 'Tyler'.
There's quite the intersection between UFOs and the consciousness woo stuff and it's become pretty apparent (to me, anyway) that the two are interconnected. Just like gran pappy Vallee has been saying since the 70s.
One of Diana Walsh-Pasulka's (🫶) recent interviews added a little more to the ideas she shared in her book 'American Cosmic' about the processes that 'Tyler' follows to import ideas into his head. A process he's apparently used to quite a lot of success. Tyler is a mega mission control guy at NASA but reportedly had a rather undramatic education and seems to have achieved so much through, what she calls, a pretty remarkable series of fortuitous events.
So we've got the wildest of the woo crew hanging out with the most legit of the academic circle.
Somewhere in this intersection of pe...
