Fly Fishing In The Currents of Strange Behaviors: The Pinocchio Syndrome

“True creativity often starts where language ends.”
-Arthur Koestler

The UFO phenomenon cannot be placed within a laboratory environment, however, its effects, behavior and general nature as a paranormal chimera are well known. The human mind is a hybrid adaptation poised between intangible realities and materiality which, this phenomenon, in turn, mirrors this orientation.

In some sense, this parallel orientation of the human and the demonstrative shadow that follows his affairs as Mr Keel suggested, weaves semiotics into a tapestry whose strands are the narrative of a dream, but whose? A living hieroglyph distributes itself over the globe is poised as the image of a vehicle, but to carry what and for what purpose? Is a fiber optic cable a vehicle?

Seemingly nearly every rumination on the nature of this phenomenon is drawn like a moth the conceptualizing of an authoritarian monarchy, whether it is the very prolific Mr Anonymous unreeling the cabal of military industrialists, the implanting of devices, or the Machiavellian, alien life forms who would rule over us, and so forth and so on, ad nauseum.

Seemingly, we are so saturated with a life as a series of predictable behaviors based on the whims of others or of institutionalized edicts, that it is difficult to imagine a situation wherein this form of personal dictation does not occur. It is perhaps the dream of Pinocchio, that so fascinated Steven Spielberg, when he originally intended to use "When You Wish Upon A Star"in "Close Encounters",the dream of a faux creation poignantly wishing to be real, in some sense, to be freed of the dictates of his nature.

In the deep psychology of uncertainty as the Buddha long ago observed, there is a wish for validation in this matter. As a Mr G also advised, there is nothing more powerful in this realm or the next, as a wish. The soldier in the battlefield, the radio astronomer behind his wall of instruments, the cynic at his laptop and the priest before his congregation all share this secret yearning to be comforted in the face of uncertainty.

In this case, is this a dialog where one poses a rubric and the other listens, measures and valuates the cacophony of responses to unravel a incoherence, that of our species? Tampering is an issue in this game theory of prompts embedded within uncertainty, wherein we are engaged with behavior based upon the reliability of cliche and stereotype as a precursor to language, however our certainty is the narrative of a dream, based upon frail contingencies. Are we delivering a toxic prayer to the unknown in the form of an omniscient subservience? The intention of absurdities split between the nexus of a probe into what makes the carousels revolve here on Planet Earth is the nature of a wish.

Holmes sat pensively at the window ledge, speaking aloud without the benefit of an audience "A baited hook angling for comprehension. A phenomenon that demonstrates a language without referents. A psychology of strange proportions revealed, that of our own..." Doctor Watson chortles at this rumination as he pours yet another cup of incessant tea, "You know good fellow, you're outclassed in this affair when someone begins to unravel you,.." Holmes did not react to this detraction but seemed lost within his own circular thoughts.."Indeed..you may be more prescient than you realize." Mrs Hudson unexpectedly arrived in the doorway, and announced quietly, "There's a Mr Fort here to see you."

"...But my liveliest interest is not so much in things, as in the relations of things. I have spend much time thinking about the alleged pseudo-relations that are called coincidences.What if some of them should not be coincidences?"
Charles Fort (1874-1932) in: Wild Talents

In a similar vein,the mirror is reoriented toward a recent advertisement for laboratory services which stated that;

"We have a full usability lab setting that allows you to see subjects being tested, see exact replicas of their screen and their actions, and hear every word that is spoken - without being in the room, Image of one part of our observation room and without intrusive one-way mirrors. In other words you can see their reactions, watch what they do and hear what they say, without interrupting or interfering with the test at all. Up to eight of your team may view usability tests at any one time, and as we use technology to display the test room (instead of one-way mirrors) you are free to work in a lighted environment, without concern for alerting the participant to your presence."

Are these vehicles a utility of metaphor,in that the medium is the message, which is a prompt, a stimulus and a strange attractor utilized as a psychological probe to disinter the medium of comparative relationships in relation to cognition which we utilize as to conceptualize the basis of our behavior? The layering of this onion is unraveled as if it were car, a vehicle raised up on the lift, where all of it's composite steering, transmission and electrical systems are strewn about the garage to be examined by one who needs to comprehend it's mechanisms by deconstruction. Such may be the strategy of comprehending the psychology of the human animal.

The old mechanic coughed, wiped his greasy hands on an old rag and moved slightly upon the ground as if to shift the weight of his exposition further when I posed this seemingly unnecessary approach, as a question as to it's origin in his realm versus my own..he seemed increasingly irritable.. "You know, omniscience belongs to your certainty, we know nothing of this... nor of you, this is not an authoritarian monarchy, of edicts, it is a self organized affair..this is the realm of possibilities!,.. The most you can reach into the realm of the dead as a singularity as you envision it..never changes..it is a dead thing you seek, and while nothing is ever dead in this sense,perhaps what you see here is an inversion of necromancy..we call you forth..compel you..by attraction, in order to simply understand you."

Lets send a diagnostic signal and determine the linguistics of orientation in this sensory simulation, when we superimpose a paradox. Any number of comparative studies in belief systems, physics, psychology and the nature of reality itself revolve like carousel horses on a spiraling track that seemingly recedes into infinity when they are superimposed upon this phenomenon as it has tangibly superimposed itself upon us.

Cognitive dissonance and dissociation leads to fundamentalism, reductionism and even the religious doctrine of good versus evil are just a few of the psychological effects of this phenomenon. The technological paradigm of our century is juxtaposed against the ephemeral, which can be seen as a psychology of orientation. The debate upon improving nature by destroying it or insuring it's very survival is a superimposition as to our orientation toward our environment in terms of it's relationship toward us, the nature of a valuation that is a intangible made material by behavior. The dynamics of the UFO phenomenon are also a manifestation of behavior made material where we meet on the plain of a game field. I was originally going to use the title of "The Psychology of UFOs" but it seemed too retentive in comparison to the overall dynamics of this global anomaly.

"Well, it is a value judgment, true enough. In reality, it is all the same. In reality, it is a matter of indifference, but we are not here in reality. We are here on a system of assumptions, and we are all busy maintaining them. On that system, then we can say, "Well, that will keep the ship afloat, and this will pull the plug out and we will all sink."
-G. Spencer Brown

The intangible nature of the origin of the UFO phenomenon, not surprisingly is split between a technological origin and one of nature, albeit unknown. Crop Circles are yet another example of this division toward what essentially is a debate whose nexus is one of origin. Then we have our own unknown origin narrative whether it is focused on paleontology or personally, which the UFO phenomenon underlines by suggesting further probabilities and comparisons. Is this a surgical probe intended to create a reaction, which then can be measured?

The kaleidoscope effect of this phenomenon is it's nature as it poses uncertainty in the face of reinforcing self referential psychologies. In this regard, context is more important than appearances when one realities it is deconstructive, a ploy that infers an ongoing process toward a defragmentation of a wide spectrum of the above mentioned fragments that swing softly hidden behind the scrim of commerce as a paradigm in of itself. A hieroglyph of a non verbal language that rearranges and punctuates our critical assumptions, which mutates our genome of combinatorial relationships.

I have often remarked that this is the reorientation of the observer to the observed, the game theory that reinforces it has been appended. In historical terms, the acceleration of technology has outpaced the aforementioned debate as to a variety of 500 hundred pound gorillas in the room, which we blithely, as a species, pretend do not exist.This pretending or if you will, business as usual in the face of uncertainty is an environmental factor both psychologically and in empirical terms, while anomalies swarm over the globe as a flock of migrating birds.

The UFO phenomenon is antithetical to this situation by it's design. Who or what designed it? Did we or is it a unknown actor or both? I suggest that this is no existential phenomenon. Ask yourself a deceptively simple question. Is to pose a question an act of tampering? Are the questions this phenomenon poses relevant to our situation? Why would any agency pose such a punctuation mark in our midst when we ourselves are but a infinitesimally small portion of what we call a universe?

We, as a portion of a self organizing, living system may have created a form of psychic necromancy that is termed uncertainty, especially in the face of the deconstruction of our habitat, we find ourselves deconstructed, as a result. This infers yet another question, are we, as it's observers, the source of this cognitive dissonance by our own lack of coherence or is it the other way around? Or,is it both, one inadvertent and one intentional?

We are in receipt of a signal communication from an unknown sender that utilizes living systems as a carrier. It is in the from of a litmus test, a glyph arranged as a marker, and a rather than a statement, it seeks a quantum coherence by posing an apparent puzzle,rather than a portent, which targets the observer.

SETI seeks a carrier that transmits data over unimaginable distances and yet, whether we consider it as a unanswerable anomaly or a intentional attractor, it is there, and there is yet another question..if we were in receipt of a transmission that linked in its arrangement,both our inner and outer orientation as a more coherent form of linkage toward communication, individuated consciousness in relation to our empirical sciences ( whose theories are incomplete) and we had no interior Rosetta Stone of appending the contents, would it be that we as the isolated islanders would characterize this event as an absurdity, and an intentional one at that?

Is this a joke we have played on ourselves? We send one dimensional images over short distances, data on single photons to satellites,use coherent light itself to carry a spectrum of encrypted data. It is highly probable that we will ( if we survive) master the technology to send three dimensional images..already our military technologists are seeking ways to link consciousness directly to weaponry,PEAR and other long term experiments have found that the wave forms of consciousness influence matter, and yet the concept of this phenomenon of UFOs as a communication..that there is no small people in the television set..eludes us.

What is all this for, if it is not an existential anomaly? Are we being studied as an ecological investigation whose ecology is inter-dependent while not being not material, but rather where the true actor is located, in the ecology of the mind wherein it meets materiality by simulation that prompts behavior?

Are we in need of a new form of cryptographer who is a linguist of such a non linguistic, living hieroglyph?
