I just started a chat on my Substack with this:
“Recently I found the excellent Breaking the Silence project, and that tied in very well with the trend in the UAP/UFO/ET field in recent years (in my experience) to publicly acknowledge that much of this field is really about raising/broadening/deepening humanity's consciousness.
That is all good, but I am also stumbling back into the areas that drove me away from this field for quite a while: the physical evidence based, conspiracy-suspecting people who, as pointed out by the BTS people, are, out of the pain inflicted by abuse and unfounded/unreasonable/excessive scepticism (there is a healthy form & amount of scepticism) seeking validation in the wrong way/place.
This also reminds me of the spiritual bypassing and wilful disengagement of "spiritual"/higher consciousness people/groups/movements that drove me out of the “spiritual”/higher consciousness area.
Unlike the UAP/UFO/ET field, the latter seem to me to still need to learn about applied spirituality - you cannot be spiritual/of a higher consciousness/loving if you do nothing about the homeless in your neighbourhood, or poverty and other global problems, or being anti-bigotry, including of structural/systemic bigotry (in its myriad forms and manifestations). If you don't do anything about those, you are risking doing nothing but (possibly high [over] priced) escapism (while noting that some people genuinely need recovery time/withdrawal for healing/refining/developing their skills).
I had similar concerns about most politics in these decades of neoliberalism, but many voters now understand that they were scammed, and that neoliberal capitalism and other problems such as corporate and other forms of capture of political parties is ultimately harmful of everyone and everything. In places that have been savaged the most, such as the formerly democratic USA, awareness and resistance are improving and developing apace. Even here, where the first of the two main political parties is in the final stages of destroying itself (mostly over climate denialism, but also various forms of bigotry) and the second is bouncing around between the same sort of self destructive path and some belated attempts at making life better, awareness is improving - although attempts to change things for the better are lagging.
The thing is, these things are not separate: consciousness frames our worldview, and those both shape what we do/say/think or don't do/say/think.
Consciousness frames spirituality and religion ... which, in our current poor world state, are often viewed as entirely separate or at best with a minor overlap, which is a reflection of the extent that dogma and ideology have captured religions - many, if not most or all, of which started as societal revolutions. A question I have often used - and I know others do as well, so this is not something I came up with (it predates this current life of mine by a few millennia) - is: how is the person and the world better for having a particular religious/spiritual faith/worldview? Are there fewer homeless in your neighbourhood/poor people in the world, or better inclusion of minorities & better anti-bigotry measures to protect those minorities, or better politicians in your electorates, as a result of you having your religious/spiritual faith/worldview? (Or are you trying to hold on to social status/privilege, including patriarchal lies that infantilise and limit women or lock people into being tools of the power elites?) If not, I would suggest you have missed what should be the main point of your having a particular religious/spiritual faith/worldview: agape style (spiritual) love - something which improves with improved consciousness, something the world would benefit from more politicians and others with social-political-economic-social power/coercive influence having as well (so they can dismantle patriarchy and our various current destructive hierarchies).
If your religious/spiritual faith/worldview, whether it includes UAPs/UFOs/ETs or not, does that, then great - pat yourself on the back, and please continue.
If not, please reconsider ...”
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).
