Post No. 3,036 - An example of others’ changed perspectives on UFOs/UAPs/ETs

I have, for some time now, been writing about my concerns around the prejudice (bigotry) and/or blindness to bigotry/discrimination that seems to me to be too evident in the UFO/UAP/ET field. 

I’ve been trying to summarise those commentaries - and my other UFO/UAP/ET posts - in   “Post No. 2,352 - the ET/UFO/UAP field”   https://gnwmythr.blogspot.com/2023/01/post-no-2352-etufouap-field.html     

I have, however, also been acknowledging the change in emphasis from the quest for evidence/validation to a focus on consciousness - notably (for me), Mr  Grant  Cameron,   Robert Hastings,   and   Preston  Dennett,   but it had always featured in the work by Whitley Strieber   and   Steven  M  Greer, and, I suspect, Jacques  Vallée. 

To some extent that was always there for me as well, with the controversial and, frankly, bigotted Lobsang Rampa’s books, and even Desmond Leslie and George Adamski's 1957 book “Flying Saucers Have Landed” (I think I got a reprint or revised edition dating from the 1970s, but that book has disappeared somewhere over the years), but most especially with Stuart Holroyd’s magnificent book "Briefing for the Landing on Planet Earth", which I came across in the 1980s. 

And now I have found that one of the podcasts I stayed in touch with from time to time has relaunched itself with a broader focus. 

The episode which is the last of the old has some excellent commentary on what has happened to the UFO/UAP/ET field since the disclosure article in 2017, and a few other very telling aspects. 

As an example, the following is during the wind-up part of the podcast (the peroration, perhaps if you want to be picky): 

“When you start getting too close to certain aspects of UFO secrecy, especially the intersection of secret technology, intelligence operations, and the occult, you quickly find yourself lost in a hall of mirrors. Nothing is what it seems, and no one is telling the truth.

At best, you waste your time chasing phantoms. At worst, you find something real, something that doesn’t want to be found. And here’s the thing.

The phenomenon isn’t just shadowy corridors and government black sites. There’s also an incredible lightness, a deep sense of potential, wonder, and hope. I’ve seen it in my community and the people who have come together around this mystery, and I’ve seen it in my own life.

That's where I’m choosing to focus my work going forward, and not just out of fear or convenience, but because I genuinely believe that that is where the real story is.”  

The podcast details are: 

[The UFO Rabbit Hole] “The Final Episode: It’s The End Of The World As We Know It”   Cosmosis [Formerly The UFO Rabbit Hole]   Listen on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/cosmosis-formerly-the-ufo-rabbit-hole/id1595590107?i=1000692133411      YouTube:   https://youtu.be/rK4wNBzP4bE     

(The first episode under the new name is also well worth a listen - Apple,   YouTube.)   

I had some concerns about that channel - nothing is perfect?, but I’m certainly going to be checking out the new version. 

I should also make it clear I have not listened to any of the Cosmosis series. 

So ... consciousness, with what one might almost describe as a spiritual focus ...   in my opinion well worth a listen and a think, Dear Reader.

Possible flaws 

Where I can, I will try to highlight possible flaws / issues you should consider: 

• there may be flawed logical arguments in the above: to find out more about such flaws and thinking generally, I recommend Brendan  Myers’ free online course “Clear and Present Thinking”;  
• I could be wrong - so keep your thinking caps on, and make up your own minds for yourself.

Remember: we generally need to be more human being rather than human doing, to mind our Mӕgan, and to acknowledge that all misgendering is an act of active transphobia/transmisia that puts trans+ lives at risk & accept that all insistence on the use of “trans” as a descriptor comes with commensurate use of “cis” as a descriptor to prevent “othering” (just as binary gendered [men’s and women’s] sporting teams are either both given the gender descriptor, or neither).

Post No. 3,035 - A new (to me) word: Yutori

There are some wonderful words around that encapsulate more spiritual/more caring/more respectful/“better” ways of living. 

 

One is the Wiradjuri word Yindyamarra, of one of my birth father’s peoples, which I wrote about here, and also in a post about another one of those wonderful words - Ubuntu, from Ana'esia (Africa). 

The following is from that post: 

Yindyamarra is often reduced to “respect”, whereas it is more like the Noble Eightfold Path of Buddhism - see here, here, and here. 

Similarly Ubuntu is often simplified to “compassion”, but it encompasses a whole community-based way of thinking about wellness for all that the west has edged towards with things like universal health care, wellbeing  budgets, and consideration of UBI. 

(I also wrote about Yindyamarra here, and in this post, which also has the following links, which are well worth a look: here (ABC), here (TC), here (SBS), here (TG), here (TND), and here (ABC).) 

I also quite like the extension of Yindyamarra to Yindyamarra Winhanganya, which can be translated as “to live well in a world that is worth living well in”. 

That quite clearly and specifically extends the concept of “wellness” to include the environment. 

 

I also wish to acknowledge the Ngan’gikurunggurr  and  Ngen’giwumirri  word  Dadirri  from the Daly River region, which is often described as meaning “deep listening”, including listening within or inner listening, as well as deep listening to the land - see:   

• “Dadirri with Miriam Rose Baumann”   https://youtu.be/PiWTgyt8_f8     
  

• “Dadirri: Mental health through an ancient lens”    La Trobe University, Sofia Jayne   https://junctionjournalism.com/2021/07/22/dadirri-approaching-mental-health-through-an-ancient-lens/      

• “Dadirri Disability Services”   https://www.dadirri.org.au/dadirri-meaning/      

• “Dadirri - A Reflection By Miriam - Rose Ungunmerr-Baumann”   http://dadirri.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Dadirri-Inner-Deep-Listening-M-R-Ungunmerr-Bauman-Refl1.pdf      

• “DADIRRI (Official Miriam-Rose Ungunmerr Video) :: 3 minute promo”   https://youtu.be/tow2tR_ezL8      and    

• “Dadirri: An Indigenous place-based research methodology”   Miriam-Rose Ungunmerr-Baumann, Rachel A Groom, Emma L Schuberg, Judy Atkinson, Caroline (Carlie) Atkinson, Ruth Wallace, Gavin Morris   https://researchers.cdu.edu.au/en/publications/dadirri-an-indigenous-place-based-research-methodology      

 

And that brings me to the word which inspired this post: 

the Japanese word and concept   Yutori  

That came to me (from a friend) with the following definition/explanation: 

The conscious act of slowing down to allow us to savour the world around us. The refusal to rush. No talking. Just absorbing the world around us with no goal except to see. Spaciousness.

I can - and do - well appreciate that. 

For more on this, see:

• “Before You Know Kindness As the Deepest Thing Inside ... ”   Naomi Shihab Nye   from the “On Being” podcast hosted by Krista Tippett   https://onbeing.org/programs/naomi-shihab-nye-before-you-know-kindness-as-the-deepest-thing-inside/      

• “The Important Concept of Yutori”   on the “Living Well with Illness” blog by Trudy Boyle   https://livingwellwithillness.com/the-important-concept-of-yutori/      

(Also quite interesting was   “Have you found your Ikigai?”   https://www.designingyourlife.coach/blog/2018/4/13/ikigai-raison-dtre-and-designing-your-life      )
