An Introduction To The Subject of Hallucination.
The picture above is that of the transient phenomenon termed "ball lightning." which may play a role as described toward the end of this post. Follow the bouncing ball. This post concerns the radiation of an high . localized electrical field in relation to the potential effects of exposure and how these may trigger transient alterations of biological systems behavior in relation to CE events that may mimic known psychological and neurological disorders .When the nervous system or the brain is disturbed, by a radiating high energy field, morphological, electrophysiological, and chemical changes can occur. A significant change in these functions will inevitably lead to a change in behavior. Indeed, neurological effects of RFR include changes in blood-brain-barrier, morphology, electrophysiology, neurotransmitter functions, cellular metabolism, calcium efflux, responses to drugs that affect the nervous system, and behavior.
Then we can also consider the bio-neurology characterized by intentionally inducing hallucinations, distortions of perception, altered states of awareness, and occasionally states resembling psychosis which of course is the point of ingesting psychotropic ( organic or synthetic drugs, such as LSD or mescaline, that produces such effects.The effects can be profound as to visualize "what is not there" very effectively.
Then there is the REM dream state that we spend a significant amount of time within. Vivid dreams. Last night I had one that was extraordinarily vivid as far as it mimicked or simulated somatic senses ( physical exhaustion, touch, etc). I saw my own face in a mirror which was a first. We cannot remove the brain or the mind and their relationship from these experiences regardless of external influences, can we? Of course not.
A Laundry List of Strange Effects
One of the strange neurological anomalies that mimic an experiential paranormal series of events is termed the "Charles Bonnet Syndrome" that effect people who exhibit no psychiatric illnesses, and yet often experience vivid, complex and recurrent visual hallucinations (fictive visual percepts). One of the many characteristics of these hallucinations is that they usually are "lilliput hallucinations" (hallucinations in which the characters or objects are smaller than normal). They often appear as caricatures of prosaic reality One ruminates on the Dancing Plague of 1518, the Halifax Slasher, the Mad Gasser of Mattoon, the Salem witch trials as well as Spring Heeled Jack. All of this in relation to mass psychogenic illness, conversion syndrome, hysterical contagion, body-centered countertransference as well as Folie à deux (from the French for "a madness shared by two") Then there is the endless variegation of "aliens in CE events...
The "57 varieties" of hallucination is a false perception occurring without any identifiable external stimulus and indicates an abnormality in perception. The false perceptions can occur in any of the five sensory modalities. Therefore, a hallucination essentially is seeing, hearing, tasting, feeling, or smelling something that is not there. The false perceptions are not accounted for by the person's religious or cultural background, and the person experiencing hallucinations may or may not have insight into them. Sometimes an individual may experience the false perception of religious figure (such as the devil, or Christ). Perceptions that would be considered normal for an individual's religion or culture are not considered hallucinations
Mood-congruent hallucination: Any hallucination whose content is consistent with either the depressive or manic state the person may be in at the time. Depressive themes include guilt, death, disease, personal inadequacy, and deserved punishment. Manic themes include inflated self-worth, power, knowledge, skills, and identity and a special relationship with a famous person or deity. For example, a depressed person may hear voices saying that he or she is a horrible person, whereas a manic person may hear voices saying that he or she is an incredibly important person.
Mood-incongruent hallucination: Any hallucination whose content is not consistent with either the depressed or manic state the person is in at the time, or is mood-neutral. For example, a depressed person may experience hallucinations without any themes of guilt, death, disease, personal inadequacy, or deserved punishment. Similarly, a manic person may experience hallucinations without any themes of inflated self-worth, power, knowledge, skills, or identity or a special relationship to a famous person or deity.
Therefore, some people experiencing hallucinations may be aware that the perceptions are false, whereas others may truly believe that what they are seeing, hearing, tasting, feeling, or smelling is real. In cases when the person truly believes the hallucination is real, the individual may also have a delusional interpretation of the hallucination.
Mirrors with mirrors. One considers the work of Dr Oliver Sacks The title article of "The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat "is about a man with visual agnosia and was the subject of a 1986 opera by Michael Nyman. The title article of "An Anthropologist on Mars", which won a Polk Award for magazine reporting, is about Temple Grandin, a professor with high-functioning autism, something that I was diagnosed with some time ago..
Wait A Minute..Hallucinations Of A Crowd?
All of this is well and fine until we come across accounts that are not referring to a single individual but rather a crowd such as the many recounted in Jacques Vallee's "Passport to Magonia" One such event occurred on
Apr. 17, 1897 in Williamston, Michigan At least a dozen farmers saw an object maneuver in the sky for an hour before it landed. A strange man near 3 m tall, almost naked and suffering from the heat, was the pilot of the craft. "His talk, while musical, seemed to be a repeti- tion of bellowings." One farmer went near him and received a blow that broke his hip. (196)
Its highly improbable that a dozen farmers had Charles Bonnet syndrome to account for the "baker's dozen" in the perception of their "lilliput hallucination." What of physical traces that cannot be accounted for, that would contradict a theory of mass mis-perceptions? Oddly these materials have a long and illustrious history whose compositions are startlingly prosaic while enigmatic?
In late September 1824, a crowd of townsfolk in Orenburg, Russia were alerted when they heard a persistent clattering on the onion-shaped roof of the Orthodox church. Falling from the roof were "little symmetrical pieces of metal" falling from the clear blue sky. Months later, on January 25, 1825, the same phenomenon occurred again. Samples of the material were gathered and sent to St. Petersburg (then capital of Russia.) In Oeuvres vol. 11, page 644, a scientist, M. Arago, noted that a chemical analysis of the objects had showed them to be "70 percent red oxide of iron, and sulphur, and loss (of mass) by ignition (combustion) 5 percent."
Mass delusions are unlikely to account for this.
Localized Radiant Energy Fields.
In the French study of unknown atmospheric anomalies( GEPAN\ SEPRA) we have the following estimates within the measurement of luminosity, that are in order. Bear in mind ( for those who are mathematically inclined) the formula for kilowatts is I x E x pf/1000. amps x volts x pf (use .9)/1000. These are not insignificant transitory events in terms of the energy involved.
Event 1. 2 MW
Event 2. 6 to 24 KW
Event 3. 40KW to 5 MW
Event 4. 1 KW to 1MW
The question is posed. Can a low altitude transient, high energy event mimic the effects that arise from the anomalies of psychiatry and neurology? Can it chemically effect materials?
The massive iron core of our planet resonates at 40 Hertz (40 pulses per second.) while the crust has a different velocity speed at 7.5 Hertz. The human brain resonates at the rate of 40 Hertz and in meditative states a 7.5 Hertz low brain activity. As you read this, these fields are interacting with interacting with one another and in turn with our neurology as it is in the physical brain as essentially, a living bioelectric device. Nearly thirty years ago, while a professor at Columbia University, Zbigniew Brzezinski mulled over a future perversion of this relationship through an envisioned war of neurology before he became a internationally recognized strategist on global relations, and so begins a strange narrative. Putting pen to paper he wrote:
"Political strategists are tempted to exploit research on the brain and human behavior. Geophysicist Gordon J.F. MacDonald, a specialist in problems of warfare, says accurately-timed, artificially-excited electronic strokes could lead to a pattern of oscillations that produce relatively high power levels over certain regions of the earth ... in this way one could develop a system that would seriously impair the brain performance of very large populations in selected regions over an extended period"
" ... no matter how deeply disturbing the thought of using the environment to manipulate behavior for national advantages, to some, the technology permitting such use will very probably develop within the next few decades."
There are many accounts and observations of atmospheric anomalies ( now termed UFO's) that seemingly tie the presence of water with this phenomenon and of course, the world's oceans are the largest example we have. Some scientific groups, including the Max Planck Institute, have produced a ball lightning-type effect by discharging a high-voltage capacitor in a tank of water.
Sulfurous Hallucinations
Many, many historical accounts were recorded at sea, and interestingly many of them are associated with the smell of sulfur.
Long ago and far away, out at sea, Admiral Chambers on board the Montague, November 4, 1749, was taking an observation just before noon...he observed a large ball of blue fire about three miles distant from them. They immediately lowered their topsails, but it came up so fast upon them, that, before they could raise the main tack, they observed the ball rise almost perpendicularly, and not above forty or fifty yards from the main chains when it went off with an explosion, as great as if a hundred cannons had been discharged at the same time, leaving behind it a strong sulphurous smell. By this explosion the main top-mast was shattered into pieces and the main mast went down to the keel. Five men were knocked down and one of them much bruised. Just before the explosion, the ball seemed to be the size of a large mill-stone.
Now, we move forward in time to August 29th in the year 1967 in Cussace, France and a very good example is encapsulated in the title in regard to sulphur, possible hallucinations as well as a high energy field.
This example is one of many such cases if you take the time to look into this. "Two children encounter UFO and small humanoid beings in Cussac, France.." The description of this event is as follows;
"Two children saw a sphere-shaped UFO, 2 meters in diameter, and "four little devils" on the ground. One of the humanoid beings was bending over, apparently busy with something on the ground, and another held a mirror-like object. They were observed to levitate before quickly entering the UFO and flying away. The UFO was said to make a soft whistling sound and smelled of sulphur."
In that same year of 1967,, the infamous Falcon Lake event occurred, wherein Steve Michalak encounters a "ufo" on ground, suffers burns.As he watched this strange flying object, he saw brilliant purple lights coming from openings in the front of the object. He was already wearing protective glasses, and they helped shield his eyes. The smell of sulphur was reported by him to be unmistakable.
What is sulphur?
Well, there is a synthetic use of sulphur hexafluoride - a colorless gas that is soluble in alcohol and ether; a very powerful greenhouse gas widely used in the electrical utility industry and floats all around us in the atmosphere. Carbon disulphide as a byproduct can cause Dyspnoea and respiratory failure may occur following exposure to high concentration. ... hallucinations, manic delirium, as well as paranoid reactions. Then there is an abundant tasteless odorless multivalent nonmetallic element; best known in yellow crystals; occurs in many sulphide and sulphate minerals and even in native form, commonly found in regions of volcanic activity. Many many cases involve ground trace evidence of sulphur contamination as well as dead grass.
On August 8, 1993 an event in Australia that resembled a CE3 as well as missing time which was investigated by the Phenomena Research Australia (PRA). Two different laboratories analyzed the soil samples of an apparent "landing" and the corresponding alterations in soil chemistry were detected- an above average sulphur content, the presence of pyrene (which occurs in coal tar and is also obtained by the destructive hydrogenation of hard coal), and tannic acid- in a crescent shaped indentation. There was a triangular formation of dead grass on the ground.
We examined classic symptoms of organic anomalies in the physical brain leading to hallucinations in relation to diagnosis, which CE encounters appear to mimic. In this post we examined high energy fields, ball lightning and the presence of sulphur in CE cases.
Close Encounters and Plasma Energy
In terms of the transference of the energetic environmental fields into the physical brain, in the past year European robins were studied in relation to their extraordinary sensitivity to electromagnetic fields and the conclusion of the authors was that "superimposition and entanglement are sustained in this living system for a least tens of microseconds exceeding the durations in the best comparable molecular systems." How does an electromagnetic field enter the physical brain and potentially ( an electrical pun) alter perception?
The transcription and transmission of exterior information as an input that creates a simulation that is self organized in the physical brain by way of various forms of imagery ( some visual some not) has a role to play in anomalous experience.
Neurotransmitters are molecules that is used to communicate messages from a transmitting nerve cell to a receiving nerve cell. This is kind of like baseball. The pitcher is the transmitting nerve cell, the catcher is the receiving nerve cell, and the baseball is the neurotransmitter molecule. When the ball is thrown and caught, a little message is transmitted. The catcher's mitt is called a "receptor". After the catcher has caught the ball, he or she throws it back to the pitcher to the pitcher so it can be thrown again. The throwing of the ball is the electrical synapse between cells, akin to jumping a gap. Imagine an electrical cord to an appliance cut in half and in this sense the neurology of the physical brain is discontinuous in this sense. The presence of Ions can have a profound effect on this system.
Then we come to the state of the pre-synapse which "hold" several contradictory states of information that coincide with one another as potentials prior to this information jumping the gap. Are you with me so far?
The physical brain as a electromagnetic self organizing system operates much like an appliance which in biological terms means that it has an amplitude as well as a field resonance measured in "hz" which I mentioned previously. Hz is a unit of electrical frequency measured in cycles per second as periodicity. It can be measured as a sine wave which is used to visualize such things as radio or television signals. So we have the
electromagnetic fields in the physical brain and those in the environment.
The brain is a biochemical generator of electricity and now we go back to the presence of sulphur as an organic compound in relation to trace evidence of plasma energy whether it is ball lightning or a "UFO", both of which suggest to me that we have two external influences potentially at work in the electrical biochemistry of the brain that creates unique signatures in simulations which is the task of the brain. One is the nature of the high energy field externally and the other is the biochemistry of the brain in relation to the presence of a unique chemical signature found in trace evidence. What I am exploring are relationships making potential connections.
Then there is the role of memory which I suspect is the origin of the many varieties of images of humanoids that are integral to the majority of close encounters.What we are referring to is the memory retrieval involving reconstructing memory often utilizing logical structures, partial memories, narratives and clues. A ripe candidate for this matching process that creates these hallucinations may be a form of Agnosia which is the loss of the ability to recognize objects by way of semiotics while there is no neurological damage present otherwise and one's memory is viable. The brains biochemistry and electrical field may be significantly altered in the presence of a plasma field and create a Gaussian filter in it's signal processing and revert to a close match retrieved from partial memory using the same environmental clues to create the simulations of images that are in effect, hallucinations.
However, if you have read this post I have not said that a unknown craft using plasma energy did not exist. What is possible is that these craft do exist, however exposure to the aforementioned environmental states may create the hallucination of a variety of humanoids by the aforementioned relationships and associations.Or it may be an unknown transient in the environment may be the trigger. In either case, I suspect this may be a more fruitful approach in determining the nature of this phenomenon.
