Notes from Operation Trojan Horse (1970) by John Keel
Comment: As Jean Dubuis has stated repeatedly (as well as Crowley), the time-space experiences of the spheres, or levels on the Tree of Life, make its use as a means prediction or prophecy nearly useless. Without understanding what ‘sphere’ we are perceiving the ‘future’ from, it is very difficult (if not impossible) to place the prediction in an accurate time frame. For example, if one has an experience in Tiphareth, the perception of time may easily be one-thousand years into the past or future, whereas here in Malkooth [physical world] are perceptions of future events is limited to the immediate. This is why psychics can so easily be confused, not only do they not have an anchor point within esoteric traditions to use as a baseline for interpreting their experiences, but as a result, tend to place everything in the realm of the physical, the immediate or near-future.
This is compounded by having psychic experiences wherein the planetary energies awakened within them are misunderstood as objective experiences on another physical planet, rather than their own inner astral (“stars”) energies coming into awareness.
Keel: “Now in retrospect, I can see what was actually taking place. The phenomenon was slowly introducing me to aspects I had never considered before. I was being led step by step from skepticism to belief to – incredibly – disbelief. When my thinking went awry and my concepts were wrong, the phenomenon actually led me back onto the right path. It was all an education process, and my teachers were very, very patient. Other people who have become involved in this situation have not been so lucky. They settled upon and accepted a single frame of reference and were quickly engulfed in disaster.”
“Physicists following Einstein’s concepts assert that nothing can exceed the speed of light [Binah] without becoming infinite mass and be reduced to energy. However, if we want to blow our minds altogether, we can speculate that an energy particle might hit such a high frequency and move so fast that it doesn’t move at all [Hockmah]. Energies beyond the cosmic rays on our spectrum scale would have such a very high frequency that they would appear to be motionless [Kether]. … These super-high frequencies would be far outside our time field, yet they could coexist all around us, and we have no way of detecting or defining them. …
Throughout this book I have tried to explain that UFOs seem to be transmogrifications; seemingly material apparitions which might actually be composed of energies from the high reaches of the electromagnetic spectrum. If this is so, then one additional factor is necessary: order or intelligence.” (191)
“I have in my files hundreds of cases, some of which have now been investigated by qualified psychiatrists, in which young men and women obsessed with the UFO phenomenon have suffered frightening visits from these apparitions, have been followed by mysterious black Cadillacs which appeared and disappeared suddenly, and have been terrified into giving up their pursuit of UFOs. Many contactees report similar experiences.
The phenomenon is reflective: the more frightened the victim becomes, the more the manifestations are escalated.
Dabbling with UFOs can be as dangerous as dabbling with black magic. The phenomenon preys upon the neurotic, the gullible, and the immature. Paranoid-schizophrenia, demonomania, and even suicide can result – and has resulted in a number of cases. A mild curiosity about UFOs can turn into a destructive obsession.” (220)
“I am now inclined to accept the conclusion that the phenomenon is mainly concerned with undefined (and undefinable) cosmic patterns and that mankind plays only a small role in those patterns. That “other world” seems to be a part of something larger and more infinite. The human race is also a part of that something, particularly those people who seem to possess psychic abilities and who seem to be tuned into some signal far beyond normal perception. … We need to know much more about the human mind and how it is linked up to the greater source. We must study the process of confabulation (falsification of memory) which produces the majority of our UFO landing and contactee stories and demonological events. These victims genuinely believe that they have met splendid space beings, but as Goddard stated, they have really encountered “denizens” who “are eager to exemplify principalities and powers.” In my [Keel] field work I have developed interviewing techniques (301) which separate the confabulation from the real experience. It can be done. But a large part of the UFO lore is based entirely on confabulation. (302)
The elementals or ultraterrestrials are somehow able to manipulate the electrical circuits of human mind. They can make us see whatever they want us to see and remember only what they want us to remember. Human minds which have been tuned into those super-high-frequency radiations, described earlier in this book [Trojan Horse], are most vulnerable to these manipulations. Discovering and understanding this process should be given top priority.
The symptoms of the contactee syndrome usually appear in early childhood, even though overt contact may not be established until many years later. Many contactees … have a long sequence of experiences with the paraphysical entities before their real UFO encounters formally begin. … I do not mean to imply that these people are insane. Far from it. But many are driven insane when their minds are unable to translate the signal properly. They fall prey to the negative aspects, and their mental confusion attracts induced hallucinations, visits from Oriental gentlemen in dark suits and black Cadillacs, and they can eventually suffer total deterioration of personality. I had to discover this the hard way, only to discover later that Dr. Meade Layne had worked it all out in the early 1950’s , but nobody would listen to him.
Dr. Layne tried to express his ideas in occult terminology. He called the ultraterrestsrials the Etherians and thought in terms of “ultrasonics” as well as electromagnetic frequencies. In 1955 he published a concise (and time has proven it valid) appraisal of the situation in which he stated: “It is possible that some persons may be less affected by supersonic frequencies than others; …Not all ultraterrestrial contacts are evil and disastrous, of course. But there are many people throughout the world who are deeply involved in all this without realizing it. They have entangled themselves through other frames of reference and, in many cases, have been savagely exploited by the ultraterrestrials in the games being played. These games have been thoroughly documented and defined in the literature of the various frames of reference. The psychology of the elementals or ultraterrestrials is well known and fully described in the fairy lore of northern Europe and the ancient legends of Greece, Roman, and India. In fact, we know almost everything there is to know about the entities and their games.” (303)
[Comment: Some of what Layne discusses regarding ‘materialization, dematerialization, and form creation should be read in connection with the formation of ‘The Cloud’ as detailed in the Ninth Degree teachings of the Rosicrucian Order (AMORC) and briefly reviewed in “The Mind of Hermes – Visionary Experiences in Western Esotericism”] (302)
