INTRODUCTION
Phenomenal World is Volume II of an investigation into the materialist sci­
entific world view and how that mindset informs us that physically measurable
phenomena are all that exist. Phenomenal World illustrates that the nature of
human existence is to be stuck in a historical freeze frame which imposes the
captivating belief system that the reality currently presenting itself from ‘out
there’ represents the ultimate truth. But if quantum physics is correct, this real­
ity is more like a shimmering holographic mirage teetering from moment to
moment on the cusp of panoramic potential, and we, the participants, are hold­
ing it all in place by an agreement known as ‘consensus reality?
This investigation began with Volume I, the book Space Travelers and the
Genesis of the Human Form, which explores the possibility that the earth and
human consciousness is a ‘construct.’ In Volume I, the author explored the
Space Travel Argument Against the Existence of ETI. This argument is shown
to be dependent on three factors: (1) the persistent imposition of Earth-centered
technological constraints (specifically, rocket technology and radio signals)
implying an anthropocentric ‘you can’t get here from there’attitude; (2) mathe­
matical logic deduced from the faulty linear notions of Darwinian evolution,
which only serve to put the ‘cart before the horse’; and (3) a circular and
untestable hypothesis which essentially states ‘they aren’t here because they
aren’t here.’
In Volume I, the author also illustrated that Darwinian evolution is actually
not an empirically predictable or testable scientific paradigm, but is a highly
touted philosophy of Western materialism. The author deduced that Darwinian
evolution is a circular argument which serves to keep Earth humans earthbound,
since it keeps us from potentially adding up 2+2 with regard to our true ances­
try from the “sky” rather than from the “water.” Furthermore, the author illus­
trated that ancient anthropomorphic artifacts on Mars and the Moon may be evi­
dence of “Game Wardens” in our own solar system; suggesting that the Earth is
a controlled DNA repository for the ongoing creation and dissemination of life
forms, including humans. It is in this sense that the world of our perception, the
phenomenal world, can be considered a ‘construct.’
Volume II of this continued investigation, Phenomenal World, revisits the
Science of Experience propounded by the existentialist and phenomenological
philosophers Husserl, Merleau-Ponty, Heidegger, Sartre ana others as a basis
for understanding the role of such ‘constructs’in the development of a shared
personal world view. We are reminded in these pages that ‘reality’is a provision
of social consensus; reality is ‘brought to you oy’an historically-bound scien­
tific construct. Our modern reality construct is the materialist world view. In this
sense, the second book is an introduction to the first book, but, at the same time,
it completes the message of the first book; that message being: all is not as it
seems.
Research into psychic phenomena has a long and distinguished history of
which we are largely unaware due to our current materialist bias which sees the
individual, isolated brain as the source and control center of intelligent commu­
nication. There is a large body of research into psychic phenomena which can­
not be sufficiently covered here, and which the reader is encouraged to examine
if sufficiently interested. Arguments against the existence of a psychic force or
human ‘X-Factor’ have generally been based on the inability to locate, measure,
quantity or qualify an energy or medium capable of canying ‘thought’ emana­
tions across time and space: a ‘nonlocal’ causal connection. However, because
this unknown factor or energy is not recognized by mainstream science, and
most experimental research in this area has a tendency to be ‘non-repeatable,’
should we automatically deny the existence of a ‘nonlocal’ psychic force capa­
ble of distance communication and influence?

After publication of Space Travelers in 2000 I received feedback from all
points of view. As the cojtublisher since 1992 of the well known conspiracy
magazine Paranoia: The Conspiracy Reader, and as a well known author in the
conspiracy genre, I received many questions regarding the ultimate ‘conspira­
cy; that of the totalitarian invasion of the human soul by non-human entities.
The ultimate question on everybody’s lips seemed to be ‘is there a conspiracy
or cover-up concerning the ‘true’nature of reality?’
One might suspect that in order for there to be a conspiracy in this regard,
at least some human beings would have to have information that the general
populace doesn’t have with regard to the true nature of reality. In this case, this
assumption might be suspect, since no human being could actually know the
answer to the ultimate question: ‘what is reality?’ Yet, on the other hand, could
there be a conspiracy or cover-up by persons who think they know the true
nature of reality, or who believe they hold a defining or at least controlling key,
or who carry on as though they can manipulate reality to their own ends? Also,
could there be a cover-up by non-human entities who feel it is in the best inter­
est of Earth humans to be unaware of the existence of other human types in the
universe, and/or could certain elite world leaders have convinced such Visitors
that this is necessary to avoid societal chaos? Furthermore, might the Earth and
all life upon it in the three-dimensional world be an experimental construct? Or,
conversely, might the nature of three-dimensional reality be simply an illusion,
as ancient religious doctrines teach? Phenomenal World explores all these pos­
sibilities.

goes wi-t.ih o. ut. sayi. ng ^buutt mmuusstt be nnoottee(dj nnoonneetthheelleess that the vast mihtary/corpo-
rate intelligence apparatus is not only well aware of these relations but has
manipulated and funded physics research toward this end since World War II.
As this book illustrates, the information management of these two ele­
ments—magic and physics—have created a totalitarian regime comprising a
modern day secret society of sorts. This information is kept secret in order to
keep power in the hands of the few; for, as we must readily admit, knowledge
IS power, and the more secretive the nature of the knowledge, the more power­
ful it is.
The aim of this book is to explore the principles of magic and physics in
order to get to the bottom of the intelligence community’s fascination with psy­
chic phenomena—i.e., the ‘supernatural’—including the reasons for UFO
secrecy and what that might have to do with issues of mind control and psy­
chological warfare. The fact that new developments in physics are being uti­
lized to manipulate, control and contain human consciousness can no longer be
denied. It is the purpose of these heinous machinations and their trials on plan­
etary citizens that is beyond human ability to comprehend. This is directly due
to the fact that the information pertaining to current developments in theoretical
physics is in the ownership of the hands of an elite faction of society—a global
military intelligence ‘Beast’ which can be considered, for all practical purpos­
es, a secret society.
This information is also kept hidden under the pernicious cover of the out­
moded scientific paradigm of materialist cause and effect. This hegemony
essentially comprises a cover-up of the potential for cause on the material plane
. effected from another platform: the unseen dimensions of space-time,
what this means is that the purpose we are all looking for, the inexplicable rea­
son tor the tortures and power-plays of a covert mind control apparatus, may be
a hidden effect of fourth dimensional phenomena, the very existence of which
the materialist mindset miscomprehends as a matter of course and, therefore,
fully denies.
This point of view necessarily opens up a can of worms regarding the nature
of‘evil.’What is evil? Can evil planetary machinations be simply chalked up to
‘greed’ on the part of an elite global faction? Are concepts of class, money,
power and greed enough to explain the drive toward total Earth population con­
trol? Or does there quite simply have to be more to it than that? Is evil on a
grand scale something that can be attributed to unseen, perhaps inter-dimen­
sional, forces? Does the tail wag the dog?
These are questions for which, perhaps, there is no readily identifiable
answer, but, as we embark on our odyssey into the 21st Century, a shift toward
open discussion of the following concepts may become inevitable: Who is
pulling the invisible strings? Is magic simply hocus-pocus, or is there more to
it? Have magicians and occultists actually been in contact with entities, intelli­
gences or powers from higher dimensions? Is there a telepathic war of the
worlds being fought on planet Earth for planetary bounty, i.e., souls and/or
human ‘containers’in which to put them? Unfortunately, these are questions we
no longer have the luxury of placing in a category with other ideas attributable
to fringe fundamentalist theological politics.
The other problem that necessarily arises in connection with this explo­
ration is the concept of good vs. evil. Since human beings are accustomed to
equate concepts of good and evil to behaviors and actions, it is difficult to shed
this programming, particularly as it regards an unbiased appraisal of the con­
cepts ofmagic and the occult (occult meaning ‘hidden knowledge’).
This book attempts to keep an open mind about subject matter which may
normally elicit an emotional reaction from those with certain religious leanings.
However, I am not an occultist and I do not claim to have detailed knowledge
of any secret magical rituals. I have simply tried to expose the very general atti­
tudes and teachings of certain schools of both Eastern and Western esoteric
knowledge, and how these concepts are related to a physics of consciousness
which has been under study by the intelligence community over the past forty
plus years. We must also be aware, with regard to the intelligence/national
defense community’s interest in physics and UFO propulsion, that this interest
is two-fold.
The most obvious question physics has to answer regarding UFOs might
come under the heading ‘mode of travel,’ or how do they get here? What type
of science and technology might be utilized by an advanced spacefaring ET1
and how can developments in theoretical physics help us to acnieve the same
spacefaring status? However, we must realize that — going beyond the obvious
— the presence of UFOs in our skies has forced a reappraisal of the nature of
time, space and reality. Therefore, a perhaps less obvious question which arises
might be: What kind of world allows visitors from time and what would be the
implications of this paradigm-shattering news on human beings accustomed to
cause and effect linear explanations for events occurring in the material world?
This analysis carries us back to the infamous Brookings Report of 1961,
wherein our government was advised by a think tank called the Brookings
Institute that human beings could not handle this type of information. This book
explores the idea that the potential threat of sucn a dangerous paradigm shift
causing chaos to Earth’s social institutions (i.e. science, religion and other
dogma) is at the bottom of the intelligence community’s interest in UFO phe­
nomena, and is also one of the main reasons for UFO secrecy in general.
Phenomenal World explores the correlations between physics, magic and
existential philosophy. Yet, readers must realize that in order to fully explore
this enigma, we must delve into the sometimes ‘dark’ abyss of obscure
occult/arcane knowledge: of that which is considered ‘supernatural’ within our
current materialist scientific confines. As this book will illustrate, the supernat-
o
ural becomes a natural matter when you utilize a Science of Experience, a sci­
ence which returns to full and complete trust of the sensory experience of the
human being, to that which ‘seems’ to be real according to the qualities of sen­
sations, rather than that which is ‘proven’ to be real according to scientifically
accepted quantitative measurements.
Phenomenal World explores the human experience of such things as out-of-
body experience, remote viewing, lucid dreaming, the LSD experience, psy­
chic-machine interface, spirit manifestation and ETI contact, and will also
attempt to understand why the intelligence community might be interested in
such 'supernatural’ phenomena. Why are U.S. intelligence agencies interested
in such things as LSD, remote viewing, lucid dreaming and mind control tech­
nology? What is the connection between arcane/occult precepts, the ‘new’
physics of consciousness and the vast intelligence apparatus? Phenomenal
World digs into these connections to find the common denominator: occult mind
control.
From P.D. Ouspensky’s Tertium Organwn, this book borrows the following
proposition:
We may say—not as a supposition but as a definite affirmation;—that
the world of physical phenomena represents as it were a section of
another world, which also exists here, and the events of which take
place here, but invisibly to us. Nothing is more miraculous and super,
natural than life.... We have every right to regard the visible phenome­
nal world as a section of some other world, infinitely more complex,
which at a given moment is manifesting itself for us in the first one.
The phenomenal aspect of the world is limited and finite, embracing
those properties of a given thing which we can generally know as phe­
nomena; the noumenal aspect of the world is unlimited. ... This world
of noumena is infinite and incomprehensible for us, just as the three-
dimensional world in all variety of its functions is incomprehensible for
the two-dimensional being. The nearest approximation to ‘truth’possi-
ble for man is contained in the formulation: each thing has an infinite
variety of meanings, and to know all these meanings is impossible. In
other words, truth as we understand it, i.e. the finite definition, is pos­
sible only in a finite series of phenomena. In an infinite series it is
bound somewhere to become is own opposite.
We must remember that the world as we know it does not represent any­
thing stable. It must change with the slightest change in the forms of our
perception. Phenomena which appear to us totally unrelated may be
seen by another, wider consciousness as parts of one whole. Phenomena
which appear to us completely identical may look totally different. ...
And everything together may form one whole, but in a category quite
incomprehensible to us. Therefore, side by side with our view of things,
another view is possible—a view as it were from another world, from
‘over there’, from ‘that which lies on the other side.’
But ‘over there’signifies not another place, but another method of per­
ception, a new understanding. And we shall begin to look not from here
but from over there if we regard a phenomenon not as something iso­
lated, but in conjunction with all the chains intersecting in it.
The phenomenal world is truly a remarkable place, and even more so if we
attempt to see it without the prejudices and practicalities we have learned to
impose upon it. What is the meaning of mankind’s existence, with the phenom­
enal world as background and human existence as foreground? Is it, as Sartre
insists, there for our own ends, to make of it an existential and meaningful chal­
lenge? What is our relationship with everything we see, as well as everything
we don’t see? Phenomenal World attempts to answer these questions from the
point of view of strange ‘unexplainable’phenomena, and how these events may
be explainable if we look at them from 'over there.’

CHAPTER ONE
A Science of Experience:
Phenomenology and “Strange” Phenomena
Suddenly my feet are feet of mud
It all goes slo-mo,
I don’t know why I 'm crying
Am I suspended in Gaffa?
Kate Bush
Now, it was an ordinary day, Sir. I love being in the Bush, I love the
smell of the animals, the smell of the trees, the sound of the birds. I
was just thinking, and all of a sudden I was aware of a strange silence
all around me. This lasted a few moments when all around me there
was a blue smoke, a sort of vapor which obscured the landscape. I
could no longer see the trees, hear the birds, or feel the heat of the sun.
I was standing there looking stupid and feeling even stupider, when I
was suddenly in a place made of iron, looking like a water tank lying
on its side. I’m inside this thing, the thing has a floor, and I’m lying
on a table, Sir, looking like a working table and around it was a blue
stuff like a plastic curtain. I had no clothes on. I said, T want to get
off this table.’ It made no sense. Why was I lying here? Where was
‘here’?
Then through the curtain I saw these dolls looking at me, like tribal
dolls, you know, they looked stupid, with faces like white clay and
those eyes which are like nothing on Earth. What scared me so was
that they were alive. They were coming from somewhere. They were
coming towards me, but the way they walked was ridiculous. They
walked as if they had no bones, like chickens with broken legs. They
were coming, but not saying anything, and I was just lying there like
a stupid, thinking where am I? Am I in the hospital? Am I dead?
What’s going on? And what is this terrible stink? There was light but
not like electric lights. They came all around me, about six of them,
all wearing a kind of silvery gray, crinkley, shiny uniform. They were
about two and a half feet talk
This alien abduction story was reported by a 73-year old South African
medicine man and artist named Credo Mutwa. Mutwa is a scholar and histori­
an, and is the author of several books on the history of the Zulu tribe; among
them: My People: Writings of a Zulu Witchdoctor and Indaba, My Children.
This profoundly disturbing experience occurred during the 1970s while Mr.
Mutwa was working for a mining company in the African Bush. While on a
South African public television program called Agenda in late November of
1994, Harvard psychiatrist, Dr. John Mack, interviewed the shaman, who had
appeared on the program to talk about his experiences with what he calls
“shapeshifting” entities. His sculptures of the abducting entities remarkably

these phenomena.
Let us return to this profoundly existential happening. The shaman reports:
“Their eyes were like plastic, no mouth, no lips, just a little cut, like a razor cut
pierced on an angry body.” When you look into tne eyes, Credo reports, you see
no detail, “just an empty eternity, a void, no expression.” Using his own native
expressions, as well as comparisons from his native culture, Credo depicts
9
humanoids with no hair and no ears, and with an extra joint on their fingers. He

had not tied him down, but somehow he could not move anything but his eyes.
Credo ^explains that one of the entities was different, and that he “‘if elt
strongly” from the beginning that she was a woman. S he was bigger t..h.»an th~e
others but, he felt, she was not the leader. Later, he recounts, t“4tthhiics rmrteonnrdliinnoa

malities about her physical nature. Speaking “as an artist for many years” he
insists, “her arms were too short for her body, she looked even more like a doll
than those other creatures looked like dolls. Her skin looked as if it was pol­
ished.”
We can imagine the incredible chill Credo experienced when the “mendina”
put her hands on his face. He explains, “this was a living hand, but this creature
felt utterly unnatural. She was not warm like a human being. She felt like a dead
body.” Although the skin of this entity appeared lifelike, there seemed to be “no
beating of blood in the veins.” Then, he recounts, she climbed on him “like a
crazy Zulu girl” and had sexual intercourse with him. She moved “like a
machine” and there was no “woman’s smell.” Then Credo explains, embar­
rassed, “I ejaculated too much” and another creature put something over him to
collect the sperm. He recounts, “I was very ashamed and my man-thing was
burning, as if put in scalding water.”
When he returned from this first abduction experience, Credo reports that
he smelled like “rotting fish,” although he had not been near a river. In addition,
his skin was covered with a “gray dust.” He wandered lost in the Bush until he
saw human footprints and came to a small village where people recognized him
as the man who had been missing for three days. He recalls, “every dog was so
excited it came and pulled me down.” Credo claims he was elated to see his fel­
low human beings, but apparently the feeling wasn’t mutual. The people who
found him could only grimace in disgust. They wanted to know why he smelled
so bad.
In immense pain all over his body, Credo fell to the ground and was trans­
ported to a house by wheelbarrow. He tells Dr. Mack: ‘ Sir, I have had many
experiences in my life,” including being attacked by lions and crocodiles. But,
he adds, “my experience with the mendina was something else.” Credo has con­
tinued to have abduction experiences throughout his life, as relayed in his book
Indaba My Children.
At a meeting of the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) in Rhode Island in
1995, Dr. Mack stated that he is hopeful that such cross-cultural field studies
will eventually help to support the reality of the visitor contact experience, since
UFO debunkers rationalize that a psychological preoccupation with modern
aerospace culture is behind the upsurge of reports of this nature. Mack argues
that the international cases he has investigated, among them the South African
shaman and several young girls who had a contact experience in a school yard
in Zimbabwe, are “relatively independent of western cultural influence,” and
“maintain structures of the third world realm.” He believes these studies might
eventually establish the reality of this bizarre and scientifically unexplainable
experience, and perhaps find “That place where everybody agrees this is real.”
Identifying Flying Objects
Thousands of books have been written on the subject of flying saucers and
the phenomenon of alien abductions since pilot Kenneth Arnold first gave the
discs their appropriate name as they flew in formation over Mount Ranier in
1947. These books describe in detail an array of activities involving the obser­
vance of futuristic ‘chariots in the sky’ and the off-beat behavior of the occu­
pants thereof.
