The Conscious Cosmos: Conquering the Cosmos

John 16:33  I have told you these things so that in me you may have peace. You will have suffering in this world. Be courageous! I have conquered the world.”

According to the author of the gospel of John, Jesus said what is written above. This is a bold claim but I believe it is accurate with regard to our relationship to material and corporeal reality. According to Jesus teaching and claims, how did he overcome the world? This is a question that I hope to answer and also, what did he overcome or conquer? Let’s look at some of the Greek words that make up this claim.

World is translated from the Greek word kosmos. The Greek word kosmos describes and defines the known universe and all of material and corporeal reality. Suffering, tribulation, trouble is from the Greek word thilipsis. It means all of the above meanings. Finally the Greek word nikaho means conquered or overcome. So, I believe that Jesus is actually saying that he has conquered material reality and all of the trouble it presents.

How then did he conquer it? He conquered it with knowledge and faith. In other words, he had faith in his intuitive knowledge. His intuitive knowledge told him that he was the eternal offspring of the creator. He took that intuitive knowledge and applied trust to it. It was a fact in his mind that he relied on. He saw creative consciousness as the parent. While he called it father it was both feminine and masculine. If one believes in as above so below and as below so above then it is only reasonable that the divine parent is both genders. We see in the material world that it is the combining of the two genders that produce offspring. Therefore, the divine parent is the perfect description of creative consciousness that many call God. Thus, Jesus intuitively realized his divinity and went on to explain that it is true of ALL humanity!

That is the good news and it is truly good news. Being an eternal expression of creative divinity is good news we can use. He goes on to explain that by the very nature of the material world, the kosmos, the universe there is the likelihood of trouble, suffering, tribulation etc. However, there is likewise the opportunity for pleasure, peace and love. There is the possibility of experiencing the knowledge of the parent and thereby expanding that knowledge.

Eternity is now. It is always now. It has no future, and it has no past. Therefore, the knowledge that one is eternal and eternally part of the creator and creation, is what overcomes or conquers the kosmos, the material universe. This is the perspective that embraces faith in the eternal conscious creator. It is also the source of theodicy.

Both spiritual and material wickedness is a thought form linked to the material universe. While it has real effects, it does not have eternal effects. Therefore, the nature of creative consciousness which is love and peace conquers the material universe always. Putting trust in that knowledge lets each of us individual conscious agents, offspring of the parent conquer as well. Be of good cheer and have peace!

The Conscious Cosmos: Skinwalker Ranch an Alternative Perspective

I think it is important to begin this article with a fact about the most recent Nobel Prize in Physics. It was awarded to Alain Aspect, John Clauser, and Anton Zeilinger. These three essentially proved that the universe is not locally real. This means that matter is dependent on the observer and implies that consciousness is foundational to reality. Why do I bring this into the discussion about an overview of Skinwalker ranch? Well, it is to demonstrate that current physics may not be the answer to discovering what is going on at this location in the Uintah Basin of northeastern Utah.

According to Frank Salisbury and Joseph Junior Hicks, high strangeness has been ubiquitous in the Uintah Basin for at least eighty years. Then, there is the book “Skinwalkers at the Pentagon” and most recently the docuseries on the History Channel, “The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch.” I mention these three specifics because they are all interrelated and they paint a unified picture of the fact that consciousness is at work in this area in an anomalous and paranormal way. Of  course it is not just the above three that have led me to this conclusion but they provide the framework that needs to be fleshed out.

Since the 1960’s and going back hundreds if not thousands of years there are reports of UAP’s, Poltergeists, Orbs, Cryptids, and all-around strange happenings with the area. That would be very difficult to believe if reality is indeed material. However, if the universe is not locally real, if it needs an observer to collapse the wave function into a particle of matter, then all of those supposed anomalies and paranormal experiences would be possible. It can even account for how two individuals see the same event or object differently. It is in a non-locally real universe that all of the anomalies can easily exist. This brings us to the Uintah Basin and Skinwalker Ranch.

Current physicalist, materialist science asserts that the UAP phenomenon has to be nuts and bolts and the product of a further advanced civilization capable of unknown physics. But, if one looks at the universe in terms of the latest advancements in quantum mechanics there emerges a plausible way that what we call and consider the paranormal could in fact be normal, or at least feasible, just not normal with our current understanding. And, if it is not locally real it could even seem like it was spiritual and not natural or material.

This brings me to the book “Skinwalkers at the Pentagon.” It is a book that details the AAWSAP program and the experiences that happened on Skinwalker Ranch and how they affected the lives of some of the participants even away from the ranch. As it turns out, much of the anomalous phenomena was of a nature that could be considered spiritual, or consciousness generated. AAWSAP was a program financed by the Department of Defense that financed a scientific investigation of UAP’s and other high strangeness associated with the ranch. The contractor that received the contract for AAWSAP was Robert Bigelow and his BAASS organization. BAASS stands for the Bigelow Advanced Aviation and Space Studies.

AAWSAP was headed up by James Lacatski of the DoD and also involved an intelligence analyst, Jay Stratton (called Jonathan Axelrod in the book Skinwalkers at the Pentagon.) There has been a lot of scorn thrown at the program, especially by Steven Greenstreet of the New York Post. He has done a video series that ridicules the program and throws shade on all those associated with it.

BAASS had among many employees Colm Kelleher who headed the program and others like Hal Puthoff who were involved with remote viewing. There are photos that show Kelleher and Puthoff along with Jacques Vallee’ and Robert Bigelow from an earlier association. These are all individuals that were convinced by experience of the strangeness of the phenomenon. This fact adds to the ridicule that the venture gets from those firmly ensconced in a materialist physicalist dogmatic approach to science.

During this time, Robert Bigelow owned Skinwalker Ranch. The AAWSAP program lasted through 2012 when it ended. Four years later Bigelow sold the ranch to Brandon Fugal, a wealthy real estate businessman from Salt Lake City Utah. This ultimately led to the scientific investigation of the ranch that has culminated in the docuseries on the History Channel, The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch. This four-season series continues to document and study all of the anomalous phenomena on Skinwalker Ranch.

Moving back to the Nobel Prize in Physics for 2022, I find a question for perhaps a different or alternative perspective of Skinwalker Ranch. What if all of the materialist, physicalist scientists are wrong about the phenomena? What if consciousness is fundamental and the material universe with space and time and matter arises out of consciousness? That would make James Lacatski, Colm Kelleher, and Hal Puthoff et. al. not ridiculous but scientific pioneers. That would mean that all of the strange experiences reported in the book “Skinwalkers at the Pentagon” were actually true.

So now, the Brandon Fugal team, and the History Channel docuseries, are drawing in some circles, the same ridicule, skepticism, and accusations that are connected with the former program and the entire phenomenon in the Uintah Basin. In this perspective it is important that the current team and their effort continue as designed and let the critics be damned. It is possible that the scientific investigation will lead a path closer to understanding the strange universe we live in.

The Conscious Cosmos: Skinwalker Ranch, My Analysis Part One

Consciousness does not arise from physics. Physics arises from consciousness.

I am not a scientist, so this is not a scientific analysis. I am more of a philosopher and am deeply interested in the nature of reality. This analysis is more philosophical, psychological, and sociological than scientific, especially if you do not view the former three hard sciences. I hold to some kind of idealistic panpsychist view of reality. It is in this that my interest in Skinwalker Ranch and the docuseries arises. Skinwalker Ranch is a veritable laboratory for consciousness.

Sometimes the obvious is obscured. Historically we have had at the most two-hundred and fifty years of materialist physicalist science. On the other hand, we have had thousands of years of philosophy with humanity trying to answer the basic questions of the nature of reality. Too many people have lost sight of that history and have smugly settled for the more recent history of science. That has been to the peril of advancement in my view. Not to technological advancement. But, it has to philosophical advancement in understanding the nature of reality. Every physicalist theory has always been replaced as incomplete and just a portion of the larger story. From Copernicus to Galileo to Newton to Einstein, to all of the many physicists the understanding of the nature of reality has evolved and each theory has been replaced by the next generation. Those theories were good so far as they went but were simply incomplete. It is time for physicalists to exchange their hubris for humility!

So, this brings me to Skinwalker ranch and the Uintah Basin. There is a remarkable history of personal anecdotal stories about the anomalous and paranormal activities of that area. One of the areas that sociology takes into consideration is people’s stories and experiences. They are very important. Testimony has been revered for centuries in the legal area. We have given people the death penalty and locked people up for life based on testimony. The fact is that the more similar testimonies that exist, the more reliable they are. It should be noted that experiences and observations are a product of consciousness. It mystifies me as to why people are so incredulous for people’s stories about the anomalous and the paranormal. Especially when these stories of experience have been told over thousands of years by a multitude of experiencers.

The overview of the Skinwalker Ranch and its surrounding area shows that a multitude of people have experienced all kinds of anomalous phenomena. It ranges from orbs, to lights, to unusual entities, to unusual energies, to poltergeist activity, and it seems to me like a playground for consciousness. It seems obvious to me that it is consciousness that causes all of the phenomena and that it is for some reason messing with perception. Therefore, investigation and documentation is very important. That is what the docuseries is doing. In addition, the investigation team is openly offering themselves to public scrutiny by their many appearances on YouTube, and at conferences. The Insider’s Website is also giving unprecedented access to the ranch and its environs.

No, I am not a blind believer in anything. However, I do believe people until it is proved otherwise. One can intuitively judge people and their stories and their motives. At least I can, and I think many others can as well, and truth be told, all can if they would but trust and develop their gut awareness’s. I believe the current Skinwalker Ranch team and their stories. I believe the stories told in the book Skinwalkers at the Pentagon. I believe the stories related in the Ryan Skinner and Cheryl Carter books. I believe the stories that were collected by Junior Hicks and recorded in the book “The Utah UFO Display. There are way too many of them and they have too much in common to be all fictitious.  When you add to this all of the stories reported to MUFON and again look at the similarities the picture is overwhelming.

If consciousness is foundational and it appears that it may be; If as the latest Nobel Prize winners in physics proved that the universe is not locally real is true; Then consciousness is likely foundational and since that has been the predominant theory for thousands of years until the last two hundred years, a lot more credence should be given to exploring the experiences of the anomalies, recording them to build a database that can be analyzed by AI and begin to find predominant patterns that exist across the globe and across time.

Because of that I applaud Brandon Fugal and the History Channel for giving Skinwalker Ranch and the Uintah Basin a platform for a large audience to see.

Part 5: Basement Office Rebuttal, Skinwalker Ranch – Judgment Day

Greenstreet’s final hit piece on Skinwalker Ranch was entitled Judgment Day.  In it he was hyper critical of the docuseries and Brandon Fugal. I am presenting an alternative judgment about the docuseries and the scientific investigation taking place in the Uintah Basin in Northeastern Utah. Greenstreet caps it off with his camping over night at Homestead 2 on the ranch. However, he uses this to inject some of his most vitriolic criticism of the Brandon Fugal stewardship. But also, he unwittingly bolsters the current narrative of the ranch and I’ll get into that a little later. Like the other three episodes on the Fugal years, he was critical of the Mormons.

He shows his experience at homestead 2 but most of the time is spent with inserts suggesting that the narrative from the docuseries is fabricated or at the very least greatly embellished. The thing I find perplexing is that Brandon Fugal and the team are very sincere in their entire exchange with Greenstreet and it is a stretch for him to suggest that they are untruthful. He goes on to ask them about the more sensational things mentioned in the book “Skinwalkers at the Pentagon. He is fixated on the dino-beaver story and gets them to say they have not seen anything like that. What he does not take into consideration is that some of the experiences that accompany the ranch for some people are likely generated in consciousness. This would be very plausible if consciousness is foundational to reality and it is certainly a theory that is gaining strength.

However, there are ample examples of things happening at the ranch that are anomalous. For example, when he entered homestead two there were several loud thumps against the wall. It was not just a one time thing. There were indeed several loud thumps. They are not that different from what Dr. Travis Taylor reports about what happens to him at night in his trailer. He often hears thumps and banging on the outside walls. Greenstreet offered no plausible reason for the knocking, and if he could have, he certainly would have. That is obvious from him chasing down a bat to explain what flew in front of him in the dark. However, in the case of the thumps he came up with no answers.

Now, when he walked to the fence line of the property, based on what he had heard from a security officer from the Bigelow era, he had some additional experiences that by his admission were anomalous. When he arrived at the fence line bordering Ute property, he felt fear. He then, through what could only be called mystical means, felt the necessity to speak words assuring that he meant no harm and had now ill will, and as he spoke them it was as if they came into his mind with specific instructions. He said very slowly as if it was coming to him on the fly, “I harbor no ill will (pause) and intentions. The way he said it showed that he was receiving instructions as he thought. This was indicative of someone or something affecting his consciousness at the moment. But there was more. At that precise time his lightning detector which warns of electric energy spikes went off. Coincidence? From watching three seasons of the docuseries, I do not think so. Then, at the same moment his eyes and face began to burn. They swelled up. Why? He claims that is was an allergic reaction, but that makes no sense. The reason is that he was at that fence line earlier with Brandon and had no allergic reaction. He then went on to explain that when he left the ranch, he bought allergy medication, and it went away. But it could also have gone away because he left the ranch. So, Greenstreet actually experienced some of the high strangeness that he tries to debunk.

Another area where he corroborated Brandon Fugal was centered around Brandon being summoned to Washington D.C. to testify before governmental officials. Brandon had photos of the meeting and there were definitely people there from the Department of Defense. Greenstreet tried to get information about the meeting and instead got the run around. He finally received an answer that he thought was implausible and silly. They stated that he was requested there to provide his plans for Skinwalker Ranch. This is one place I have to agree with Greenstreet, the answer makes no sense.

So, it is my judgment that Greenstreet did a hit piece on Brandon and the ranch. It should not surprise me because he has been doing that all along. He stated that his source in the Pentagon told him that there were those there believe in UFO’s and search for them on the taxpayers `dime. Lue Elizondo has stated repeatedly that there are those in the Pentagon who do not want to acknowledge UFO’s for religious reasons. Having been a theologian at one time and affiliated with evangelical Christianity, frankly I believe Lue. It seems that there is an interest with the Department of Defense and the military in the ranch. There have been several documented cases of black ops planes and helicopters nosing around. Is Dr. Taylor right? Does Greenstreet have a nefarious motive associated with shadow entities? By shadow entities I mean black operations and not shadow people. It is possible. Quite frankly it is as likely as the conspiracy theory that Greenstreet has spun about the Brandon Fugal era.

Part 4: Basement Office Rebuttal, Skinwalker Ranch – Signs and Wonders

It is in his next to last video, “Signs and Wonders” where Steven Greenstreet was the most guilty of the sin of omission. I use the term because he wanted to use a religious metaphor in all of his videos about current day Skinwalker Ranch, the docuseries, and the Brandon Fugal Stewardship of the ranch. I really like Brandon’s use of the word stewardship to describe his relationship to the ranch as sole owner. The fact is that we should all think of ourselves as stewards with everything we own and really all of our relationships with family, friends, spouses, pets and everything on the planet living or not. We are most definitely stewards of the material corporeal world, and being aware of that would go a long way toward improving how we act and treat our planet and its occupants.

Back to Greenstreet. I already mentioned in the introductory post that he misrepresented the way the team spoke about the foyer of the ranch house. James Lacatski saw what he saw in the kitchen from the foyer and so the team changed nothing with their anecdotes about visitors to the ranch house. This is especially true considering that consciousness is foundational to reality and there are many known power spots across the planet where many people, and I mean thousands, experience paranormal activity. A famous one that comes to mind is near Sedona Arizona. It is very plausible to believe that the foyer is one such power spot. I think it is funny because in one of his ads running up to the series, he had a photo of himself sitting in the foyer contemplating tubular bells as he said. This demonstrates that he knew that Lacatski was in the foyer when he saw them. Greenstreet certainly omitted that when he proceeded with his butcher piece.

I completely assumed that he would address things that were shown in the three seasons of the docuseries and ask questions about that but, he did not. He only showed glimpses of the medical issues and through inuendo dismissed them as either false or not caused by the ranch. He had ample opportunity to ask them about the metal found in the mesa, or the multiple UAP’s that were spotted in places and at times where they could not be Starlink satellites. He never referenced Dr. Travis Taylor’s radiation poisoning. It was almost as if he had not watched the docuseries. Throughout all of his videos connected with the visit to the ranch he continually made religious references and was overtly suggesting that the all of the team were gullible believers in UFO’s and the paranormal and he used their religious affiliation as proof that they had a different motive for the ranch investigation.

It was like he bought all of the physicalist scientific arguments against the exploration and investigation without really understanding them. Rather, he seemed to simply accept as fact all of physicalist scientific dogma oblivious to the fact that it is coming under heated scrutiny these days. He was definitely an experiencer but a non-believing skeptical experiencer denying his sighting of a UAP in Utah years before. Interestingly, he does a cameo appearance at the end of the film “A Tear in the Sky” and is supportive of it. The fact is that the film, while very good in my estimation, actually is very similar to the docuseries he is hell bent on debunking.

As I see it, Brandon Fugal, the Skinwalker Ranch team of investigators, and their docuseries is on the frontier of scientific investigation. While I do not doubt the experiences of the NIDS team and the BASS AAWSAP program, the current investigation has purposefully avoided some of the more exotic claims. Likely those claims are real experiences of a consciousness induced nature. As some form of the panpsychist view is gaining more credibility and respectability, the current investigation has more and more importance. Documenting the anomalies, energy spikes, apparitions, and UAP sightings is important. It is like the key and the kite which led to a giant leap forward for humanity technologically. Let the doubters, the debunkers, the physicalist dogmatist keep on. To insinuate there is not a scientific investigation going on at Skinwalker Ranch requires a hidden agenda.

Part 3: Basement Office Rebuttal, Skinwalker Ranch – Angels and Demons

 When I grew up in the 1950’s and 60’s, spinning a yarn was a metaphor for concocting a fictional story. It was a pejorative politely describing a liar. In watching The Basement Office Video by Steven Greenstreet, entitled Angels and Demons it became clear to me that he was spinning a yarn. It was not entirely fictional, but it was a definite spin of facts that he took advantage of. I believe it is instructive to look at the possible motives of this yarn. Greenstreet was raised Mormon in Utah. He went on a mission in his late teen’s early twenties as so many Mormon young men and women do. In fact, if one is a Mormon male child, it is expected that one goes on a mission. Obviously, somewhere along the line, Greenstreet rejected his faith and certainly that is not a problem and is understandable however, to have been programmed at an early age by LDS doctrine would leave a subconscious mark on anyone. Therefore, if one no longer accepts their prior teaching and faith one can have an adverse reaction to anything that is not tangible, measurable, and repeatable. Anything that seems like it could be spiritual or supernatural can and often does cause a discomfort that necessitates eliminating it altogether. I believe this to be the case for Greenstreet, and a motivation for discounting and dismissing the possibility of any truth about Skinwalker Ranch.

To add to this, the Mormon Religion has another text translated by Joseph Smith called the Book of Abraham, which is in The Pearl of Great Price, and in that is mentioned a distant star called Kolob. It was supposedly from an Egyptian Papyrus that Joseph Smith acquired. Therefore, any extra-terrestrial or interdimensional being could cause a chink in the materialist armor of an individual that had previously been indoctrinated with a specific religious dogma. The fact is however that is not a necessary conclusion even if it is a common one. If consciousness is foundational to our universe, then an experience with pure consciousness, that has been deemed mystical because of lack of understanding could provide for the individual a mixture of truth and personal input. It is very possible that what Joseph Smith received mystically was just for him and perhaps Oliver Cowdery. All too often, humanity has taken the mystical revelation that individuals received and turned it into a dogmatic religion. Hopefully we will progress past that. However, this gives a plausible alternative to Greenstreet’s yarn.

Now moving to Brandon Fugal, a person with a very similar religious background, but a person who is optimistic and open to exploring the mystical realm. In fact, I would call him a mystic and a visionary. It appears, that he has kept an open mind to the unlimited possibilities that this universe offers without becoming cynical. He obviously has a sense of adventure and a longing for the mysterious. Being open to this, the conscious universe answers his call and provides him with the experience that allows him to say that he is not a believer he is an experiencer. I find it interesting that in the fifties, Abraham Maslow wrote a book entitled Religions, Values, and Peak Experiences. The premise of the book was that there are individuals who have peak mystical experiences and there are those who simply vicariously take those experiences and turn them into a religion. We can see evidence of this throughout history. It is even visible in indigenous cultures with the veneration of Shaman.

In this way, I view Brandon Fugal as a modern-day mystic. A mystic of the technological age. So with this backdrop look at the history of the Uintah Basin. It seems to be a virtual playground for all aspects of creative consciousness. If one reads the many books that have documented the strange happenings of the Uintah Basin as well as specifically Skinwalker Ranch one finds that there is a plethora of experiencers. A large portion of MUFON’s case files concern this area of Utah. This is precisely why the physicalist, materialist dogma that is wide spread within the scientific community is so limiting to the pursuit of knowledge about phenomena that has been reported across the globe for at least a hundred years, and has been reported by ancient civilizations in petroglyphs, hieroglyphics, and a variety of codex.

Will scientific discovery be able to understand and explain consciousness and the spiritual mystical universe? I don’t know that answer, but we should all take our hats of to Mr. Fugal for making the effort. The Skinwalker Ranch project under his direction is not a waste of time and money. It is a gift to humanity!

Part 2: Basement Office Rebuttal, Skinwalker Ranch – Sins of Omission

Steven Greenstreet just completed a six-part series over an eleven-month period on the recent history of Skinwalker Ranch. In my view it was a hit piece. This is in large part because he omitted a major portion of the information. I am fairly new to ufology. I have been interested in spirituality and consciousness for many years but did not include the UFO/UAP phenomena in my study and research. It was only after watching the docuseries “The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch” on the History Channel that I made a connection between consciousness and paranormal activity with regard to the UAP phenomenon. That came about in large part because of the combination of apparent nuts and bolts UFO’s and paranormal spiritual activity. I believe it was that final piece of information that convinced me that it truly is all one thing, and the foundation of the one thing, is consciousness. Luckily for me, foundational consciousness is steadily gaining respect in the scientific community.

Not only did he omit a ton of information about the Fugal years, but he also omitted a lot of information about the AAWSAP years as well. I base this on reading the book “Skinwalkers at the Pentagon.” This post will be an overview of the omissions and in subsequent blog posts I will do a deeper dive into the specifics. His main point in his video “Skinwalker Ranch Dino-Beavers,” was that it was all fiction. He cited all of the paranormal stories and investigation and did not mention the UFO/UAP investigation including the investigation into the Tic-Tac event. AAWSAP did several investigations that were generated from Mufon. While one could say that the stories are merely anecdotal, it should be pointed out that there are thousands upon thousands of anecdotal stories with very similar descriptions. The stigma against these stories comes from an repressive dogma position from physicalist scientists. With the ever emerging theories that the foundation of reality is consciousness, with respected physicists proclaiming that space-time is dead the ubiquitous occurrences of these anecdotes should be given far more credence and a lot more investigation. This was dare I say the main focus and emphasis of AAWSAP. Further, with the military budget of the USA, it is ludicrous and asinine to get excited over a two-year expenditure of a mere $22,000,000.00.

The level with which he ridiculed the intelligence analysts showed that he had some kind of an axe to grind. It is safe to conclude that he accused them of lying. His suggestion that the hitchhiker effect should have been reported to the CDC ludicrously borders on malicious sarcasm. This by the way is something that he brought up with Brandon Fugal as well and Brandon’s look showed that he knew that the question was a ridiculous one. He also through inuendo suggested that there were no real medical consequences from being on the ranch.

Now for the omissions of the Fugal years. My question is will this post become too long? The omissions from the docuseries are legion. For brevity I will list them in bullet form and then in subsequent posts will examine them more closely.

Greenstreet Omitted:

  • The UAPX visit and their testimony. He also omitted the physical distress of Jason Turner and how the faraday cage solved the problem. All three of the UAPX team witnessed a uap.
  • The astronomers who visited from Salt Lake City whose telescopes had data removed from a closed system, not once but several times and who witnessed a UAP during their visit.
  • The rabbi that performed a ceremony designed to open portals and the subsequent temperature vortex that was repeated with the same result from play a recording of the ceremony.
  • The laser that was bent and split
  • The nature of the metal recovered from a dig into the mesa
  • The many mysterious ailments and medical conditions that happened to various cast members including Tom Winterton, Travis Taylor, and Tom Lewis

I could go on but the post is getting long and there will be an opportunity for a deep dive into these and more in following blog posts. Again, let me reiterate, he was a practicing Mormon at one time that left the church. I cannot help but believe that this plays a large part in his skepticism against the whole thing. After all, by admission he is a UAP/UFO experiencer.
