My primary focus lies in the realm of consciousness studies, a nuanced discipline within the broader scope of metaphysics. I propose that the evolution of human consciousness proceeds in tandem with our prevailing worldview, advancing steadily until it encounters a monumental disruption often called ontological shock.
Such disruptions, which include paradigm shifts, manifest across various spheres of knowledge, yet wield a significant influence in the realm of scientific inquiry. Notable examples include the Copernican Revolution and Einstein's theory of relativity, each heralding a seismic shift in our understanding of the cosmos.1
In more recent times, we have witnessed the transition from classical physics to quantum mechanics — a shift that remains enigmatic to many. The implications of quantum theory for humanity are far-reaching, promising to bridge the realms of science and spirituality at a fundamental, paradigmatic level.
The magnitude of disruption necessary to catalyze a quantum leap in human consciousness is immense, comparable to the Cambrian Explosion, a seminal event marking the dawn of life as we recognize it. This disruption echoes the concept of 'punctuated equilibrium,' signifying a mysterious interruption in the steady, gradual progression postulated by Darwin.
To presume that a transformation of such monumental scale can be engineered or controlled through an initiative akin to a 'Great Reset' is to engage in both folly and hubris. True paradigmatic shifts are not orchestrated but are emergent phenomena that reshape the very fabric of understanding and existence.
This essay draws inspiration from two quotations: the first by the visionary inventor, Nikola Tesla, and the second by the legendary playwright, William Shakespeare, through the words of Hamlet.
If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration. (Tesla)
Tesla’s insight suggests a universe not composed of mere solid objects, but of energy in perpetual motion, vibrating across an array of frequencies. It describes the world of quantum mechanics.
Shakespeare's contemplative musing echoes this sentiment, hinting at the vast, unexplored depths of existence and consciousness.
There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy. (Hamlet)
Tesla's intuition navigated the realm where science intertwines with the metaphysical. He perceived humans as more than biological entities; we are, in essence, clusters of energy, our molecular vibrations harmonizing in the spectral range of 10^13 to 10^14 Hertz, aligning our very being with the frequencies of infrared light.
This perspective invites us to reconsider not just our physicality but our connection to the universe's intricate web of energy and vibration. Everything is connected. Our bodies are living networks of communities of cells that function and communicate through light. We are indeed beings of light.2
An intriguing and enigmatic phenomenon unfolds when distinct vibrating entities or processes converge. Over time, these entities tend to synchronize, vibrating in unison — a phenomenon known as resonance. This propensity for harmonization is not merely a physical curiosity; it underpins the very essence of human consciousness.
Resonance and vibration are not merely mechanisms of physical phenomena; they are the architects of awareness and the self-organization that characterizes complex systems. This underlying connectivity intimates that consciousness and cosmic order might spring from the universe's subtle vibration of energy, poetically described as the 'Music of the Spheres.’
Consider the interaction of human emotions as an illustration. Cheerful individuals, often radiating at higher vibrational frequencies, naturally gravitate away from those cloaked in dourness, whose lower frequencies manifest gloom and negativity. This vibrational mismatch not only influences interpersonal dynamics but also hints at a broader principle of resonance.
Extrapolating this principle to encounters with extradimensional consciousnesses, or ‘aliens,’ posits an intriguing otherworldly scenario. The alignment of our vibrational frequencies with such profoundly different entities would likely demand considerable time and adjustment, perhaps spanning decades.
This speculation gains an additional layer of intrigue when we consider the timeline of the modern UFO phenomenon, which traces its roots to 1947. The fascination and mystery surrounding these purported sightings might, in part, reflect humanity's gradual attunement to frequencies and realities far removed from our everyday experience.
FBI Document: Earth Has Been Visited by Beings from a Parallel World
That astonishing headline comes from a piece published last March by The Life Hacker website.34
Here is an edited summary of the Lifehacker story:
The FBI has released a declassified document, originating from a prominent academic, asserting that Earth is regularly visited by peaceful interdimensional beings from another dimension, perhaps a parallel universe.
The document highlights the risks associated with engaging these alien spacecrafts, labeled as ‘flying saucers.’ It cautions that any hostile action against them could trigger a devastating response, likely resulting in the destruction of the aggressor's vehicle.
The academic provided detailed insights into the spacecrafts and the motivations behind the aliens' visits to Earth. He emphasized the need to avoid confrontations, reassuring that these beings do not pose a threat to humanity.
Notably, the FBI took this report seriously, ensuring its wide dissemination within the Bureau and assigning it a high level of security clearance.
In light of this narrative and considering a similar pattern echoed by recent whistleblowers, let's entertain the notion that these claims carry weight — that they do not implicate disinformation as the means to facilitate a nefarious outcome.
This backdrop sets the stage for a deeper understanding of our own interdimensional consciousness. This innate aspect of our being, active to varying extents in each individual, hinges significantly upon self-awareness.
Increasing Self-Awareness: An Analytical Framework
The methodology I propose centers on what may be termed "experiential recollection and analytical reflection"— a practice involving the deliberate retrieval of significant autobiographical memories followed by sustained contemplative analysis.
This approach draws upon established psychological research suggesting that reflection constitutes "a deep, penetrating awareness that helps us go beyond traditional forms of thinking" (Psychology Today), functioning as a metacognitive process that transcends conventional analytical frameworks.
The operational mechanism involves two distinct but interconnected phases.
The initial stage requires participants to access detailed memorial representations of transformative life experiences — not merely surface-level recollections, but comprehensive sensory and emotional reconstructions.
Consider, for instance, the phenomenological complexity of a meaningful social interaction, e.g. a first date or a breakup: the retrieval process encompasses not only factual elements but also the affective dimensions and interpersonal dynamics that constituted the experience's significance.
The subsequent analytical phase involves systematic examination of these recovered experiences, seeking patterns and broader contextual meanings. This process of "reflecting deeply" transcends simple reminiscence, instead functioning as an active hermeneutical engagement with one's own experiential data.
Through this recursive examination, individuals may identify previously unrecognized connections between events, emotions, and personal development trajectories.
Theoretical Extensions: Consciousness and Interdimensional Frameworks
Moving beyond conventional psychological paradigms, this reflective methodology intersects with more speculative frameworks of consciousness studies, particularly those concerning interdimensional awareness and expanded cognitive access. While such concepts remain contested within mainstream academic discourse, they offer heuristic (self-learning) value for understanding the potential scope of reflective practice.
Access to Collective Memory Systems
One theoretical framework that we have mentioned often posits the existence of what various traditions term the "Akashic Record"— conceptualized as a comprehensive repository of experiential data transcending individual consciousness.
Within this model, deep reflection might function as a methodology for accessing transpersonal information networks, potentially retrieving insights that extend beyond the boundaries of personal biography. The Celtic festival of Samhain (Halloween) exemplifies cultural traditions that formalize such practices, creating structured occasions for engaging with ancestral consciousness through ritualized remembrance.
Engagement with Non-Ordinary States of Consciousness
Interdimensional consciousness theory suggests that reflective practice may facilitate communication with aspects of self that exist beyond conventional spatiotemporal limitations. These might include what Jung termed the "higher self" or what various spiritual traditions identify as "spirit guides."
Symbolic dream content and intuitive cognitions are interpreted within this framework as communications from these expanded aspects of consciousness, requiring careful analytical interpretation to integrate their insights into ordinary awareness.
Non-Linear Temporal Perspectives and Consciousness Expansion
Certain theoretical models propose that consciousness operates across multiple temporal and dimensional planes simultaneously. Under such frameworks, the process of "remembering" might involve accessing experiential data from alternative timeline configurations or parallel reality systems.
While scientifically unverifiable, these concepts offer tools for reconceptualizing the relationship between memory, identity, and possibility.
Ultimately, both memorial retrieval and analytical reflection can be understood as technologies for expanding the operational parameters of consciousness itself. By accessing information and insights that transcend the boundaries of immediate experience, individuals may develop more comprehensive perspectives on their existence and establish deeper connections with universal consciousness systems.
Archetypal Pattern Recognition
Deep reflective practice often reveals access to what Jung identified as archetypal structures — universal patterns and symbols that operate across cultural and dimensional boundaries. This dimension of practice connects to the psychological foundations of tarot symbolism, which functions not as predictive divination but as a systematic method for engaging with archetypal consciousness.
Through sustained engagement with these universal themes, individuals connect with consciousness levels that transcend individual psychological limitations. Our complete library of essays addressing “Archetypes” is located on our homepage [here].
Archetypal Integration and Expanded Awareness
This exploration of consciousness expansion through reflective practice aligns closely with Jung's conceptualization of archetypal engagement. Jung's archetypes represent not static intellectual categories but dynamic psychic forces within the collective unconscious that actively shape human experiential narratives.
Through sustained engagement in experiential recollection and analytical reflection, individuals move beyond simple biographical review to access archetypal energies that connect individual consciousness with transpersonal awareness systems.
This methodology not only expands understanding of the multidimensional nature of existence but also enhances self-awareness, enabling individuals to navigate life's complexities with increased analytical sophistication and phenomenological depth.
Carl Jung and UFO’s
Carl Jung, the renowned Swiss psychiatrist and founder of analytical psychology, interpreted UFOs not as literal extraterrestrial spacecraft but as archetypal projections of the modern psyche. In his 1959 work Flying Saucers: A Modern Myth of Things Seen in the Skies, Jung argued that the surge in UFO sightings during the mid-20th century reflected a collective unconscious response to the anxieties of the Cold War era — nuclear threat, technological upheaval, and spiritual dislocation.
He saw the circular, mandala-like shape of reported flying saucers as symbolic of wholeness and Self, a psychological compensation for humanity’s fractured sense of meaning in an increasingly mechanized world. For Jung, UFOs functioned like ancient myths or visions, serving as numinous (spiritually charged) manifestations of the unconscious mind’s attempt to reconcile cosmic wonder with existential dread.
Jung’s analysis tied UFO phenomena to the trickster archetype — a liminal, ambiguous force that disrupts rigid rationalism. He noted that UFO encounters often followed patterns of religious epiphanies or fairy abductions, blending technological imagery with archaic myth.
While he never outright dismissed the possibility of physical UFOs, Jung emphasized their psychological reality: "Whether the UFOs are real or unreal is beside the point. They are a symptom of our time."
His perspective bridged the mystical and the scientific, suggesting that the UFO mythos fulfilled a deep-seated human need for transcendence in an age where traditional religious symbols had lost their grip. In this light, Jung’s interpretation of UFOs as archetypal phenomena mirrors his foundational belief that the unconscious communicates through symbolic language, transmuting inner tensions — whether spiritual longing, existential fear, or the psyche’s quest for unity — into visionary encounters with the seemingly mystical ‘other.’

Aliens May Well Exist in a Parallel Universe, (article, Space.com)
Excellent article. I've found, through my spiritual awakening journey, that the one thing that is truly needed to advance consciousness is belief, which is the most powerful tool we possess in this dimension. Belief allows you to shut down the negative aspects of our egos that impede our ability to truly perceive our world. Belief allows us the strength needed to learn from our mistakes, to understand that hardship, along with the pain it brings, is often for the best as it helps us grow as humans. Belief is also needed if you want to access the Akashic field, or astral plane, as it forces you to trust yourself to discern the truth from images that come to your mind.
