THE EVOLUTION OF PARADIGM AS CONFIRMATION EMERGES

THE EVOLUTION OF PARADIGM AS CONFIRMATION EMERGES
December 2012

Mankind at the dawn of extraterrestrial contact is akin to pre-Socratic thinkers which were termed natural philosophers.  Like them, our entire attention has been focused on our immediate world and its vicinity.  It is a limited view of reality that has consisted only of ourselves relative to the known living species in this world.  And we have sought to understand the origins of our world and the meaning of our lives in this limited context.  Our explorations have largely consisted of science, philosophy, and the spiritual constructions of religion.  So far we have rejected the seemingly naive imaginings of science fiction and fantastic tales of experiences involving highly sentient and developed beings not of our own kind.  We have looked for understanding not in the broader universe with its tangible construct of reality, but rather in our own anthropological view of reality where all concerns, needs, and conclusions revolve around our own.  Like Heraclitus of ancient Greece, we have "sought for myself!"  Yet while we have reached beyond the limits of these crafted paradigms we still cling to these manufactured perspectives, religion, and myth.  More work yet lays ahead of us to establish a more holistic independence of reason and perspectives upon which sciences, doctrines, and everyday living might ponder and build.

We move today with a similar detached curiosity to identify previously unknown elements in our primordial adventure.  But that detached curiosity is not sufficient and far from satisfying.  We fail to reach agreement among our various investigators who are becoming increasingly segregated as they champion primary material toward isolated event patterns and their causes.  We also face a secondary problem arising naturally out of these preoccupations with the material substances; the problem of change.  As so long ago in ancient Greece, some of our number deny the emerging reality of change, while others hide from the reality of Being -- existing -- expressing our selves as a singular people within a wider context which is not closed from the greater community.  This controversy leads to a further problem: the problem of knowledge!  How can something be knowable if it changes from moment to moment?  How can something be knowable when our established bureaucracies have become so introverted that they support an aversion to truth, knowingly or unknowingly, for the sake of their own survival rather than the greater good?  Once again as in ancient Greece the methods of finding Truth has been called into question.  We move from evidence of the senses, to an appeal to reason, and then followed by a "great emphasis" upon deductive logic as a technique for disclosing and and proving this new evolution in mankind's fringe awareness as a means to embrace the change on the more holistic scale.  But these proofs are NOT satisfying!  The cumulative effects of over 60 years of experiencing, seeking, speculating, deducing, and attempting to communicate in such a way as to illicit an affirmative response from our societal hierarchies, exercising control over the masses and its governing systems, has only resulted in a growing conviction that neither experience nor human reason can establish Truths which should be universally accepted.

Pondering ancient Greece, "individualism and skepticism in thought coincided with the economic and political crisis that produced the Peloponnesian War, and the interaction of these various factors brought Greek thought to the dead end represented by the teachings" of their day, likewise in our time does collectivism and skepticism in thought coincide with the economic and political crisis which produces endless terminal wars in the seemingly more penurious areas of our world.  Among our masses rise various groups of highly critical thinkers largely tuned to man and society and who shun what they believe are fruitless speculations about the broader paradigm beyond age old human perspectives.  We observe with horror, all religious, ethical, and political values fall before the onslaughts of their attacks -- attacks utilized as forms of social engineering to create a niche within human perception more harmonious to their various purposes.  In their intent 'grounded being' is a controllable certainty, "a clever devise" of sociological statesmen as a means of preventing thought deviance, maintaining stability, and providing for the masses whose unconcern facilitates malleable intellectual regression.  Among these trans-paradigmic statesmen "justice is simply the interest of the stronger."   We are experiencing a peculiar synchronicity with the pre-Socratic thinkers of ancient Greece who agreed in interpreting the famous dictum of Protagoras, "man is the measure of all things," to mean that  truth and morality were relative and individual matters.  And many go on to accept the extreme skepticism regarding Truth formulated by Gorgias:  "Nothing exists; if anything did exist, it could not be known; if a man should chance to apprehend it, it would still be a secret: he would be unable to communicate it to his fellows."  This is the situation we find ourselves in today regarding extraterrestrial contact as unambiguous contact looms.

My fellow man, into this "intellectual and spirited vacuum" each of you must step.  Your place in history lies in great jeopardy.  It is your immediate destiny to reverse the destructive trend in our planetary human thinking and construct a viable foundation upon which our children may build a world fit for open participation in the greater community.  Your first task is to build an ethical, moral, and philosophical system for the masses to abide, in the face of unambiguous contact discovered, confirmed, and acclimated to, rather than disclosed prior to experience.  The investigating is done!  Like the Sophists, it is your lot to refuse to spend time without introspection.  Socrates explained this step in the following manner, "I have no leisure for such inquiries; shall I tell you why?  I must first know myself, as the inscription at Delphi says; it would be absurd to be curious about what is no business of mine, while I don't know my own self."  In other words, because man has reasoned all Truth and traditional values out of existence the resulting void of meaning demands your attention.  It is therefore the world within you; your behavior before the enigma, through the enigma, and in conjunction with the enigma experienced which must concern you and consume you in this time.  You must attend to the care of the soul and bear yourself anew as a broadened paradigm emerges and establishes itself.  Only you can prevent implosion.  In this it matters not how you identify the soul or the mind of man.  You can only know it is the seat of reason and capable of finding ethical truths, behavioral responsibility, and intrinsic excellence which can and will restore the meaning and value of life.  Like Socrates you must not doubt such things can be found and that they will be universally accepted as good.  Socrates believed if people would place themselves under the rule of reason, they would recognize and desire what is good and true, for the nature of goodness and truth is such that all who recognize it will want it; all evil and error are the products of ignorance.  This is the meaning of his well-known statements that "virtue is knowledge" and "nobody errs willingly".

I ask you, are you satisfied with the beliefs of being a singular presence in this universe?  Are you satisfied with the absences of Others contradictory to experiential evidence by so many of your peers?  It is said in sociology that it requires only 3% of a population to tip the scales of understanding.  Far greater than that percentage has encountered the enigma in varying degrees.  How much for you is enough to accept and live by this new scope of awareness, rather than by dialectical inconsistencies in what you have been taught systemically -- a false truth of your reality?  When will you exhort what you have come to understand?  Why do you cling to skepticism, whether by belief or by shield, when you accept and express so many other myths with less proof in hand?

The ground has been prepared.  Those who have experienced the enigma both within the system of governance and outside the system of governance have a great seed planted in common.  That seed is to grow into fruition a tree of life; a tree of change from subversive secrecy, fear, and self-servancy to a paradigm of optimism, commonality, exhortation, and an embrasure of an eternal truth both about reality and ourselves.  This achievement is yours to attain and bequeath to your children and associates.  The solution to the problem is you; knowing your time; knowing to speak and express an excellence of being, come what may.

Testing and Attending to Group Coherency In Exopolitical Mediation

Testing and Attending to Group Coherency In Exopolitical Mediation

Compass Morainn Journal

The exopolitical mediator closely observes participant coherency or group coherency in mediation situations. The observations are used to manage the group communication perspective. A litmus test for evaluating the dialog compares and applies the most useful communication questions to the trends or events within each revolution of the discussion or communication event. This allows the mediator to recognize the development of new levels of stress associated with unfulfilled needs, and the subsequent trends transcending fair reason in participant expectations.

“Taking a communication perspective, the most useful questions are not "can you hear me?" or even "do you understand me?" They are "what are we making together?" or, referring to specific events or objects such as a person, an organization, or a culture, "how is it being made in the process of interaction?" or, "how can we make better social worlds?"” ~ W. Barnett Pearce (1)

W. Barnett Pearce discerns and illustrates the root intent of modern group communication. These questions being descriptive of the effort embodied in exopolitical communications regarding the contact paradigm can then be applied in the evaluation of the following exopolitical trend issue: would exopolitical researchers be reasonable in expecting or demanding that Insider disclosers of the Contact Paradigm violate national security in order to produce a proof of paradigm along with their communication event in order for the event to be seriously receivable by the exopolitical community? It has been suggested that due to past disinformation campaigns, information obscuring, the use of exit strategies, the preponderance of unverifiable stories, and the heaps of community conjecture thrown upon every event which researchers must wade through, that the future of insider communications is in severe jeopardy. Rather than engage in the formulation of an equitable solution such as an Amnesty for insiders or the contact control structure itself as has been requested repeatedly by insiders, some participants in the exopolitical community have agreed with the following in regards to unproven communications (communication events without verifiable proof of paradigm claimed), “If they are intending to obscure, then they have. For now, we are no further in knowing the truth. Perhaps we should put a sign out in the front: "Proof, or no entry".” (2)

The individuals who would consider this constriction are indeed asking, "what are we making together?" In their perception the Insiders communication events fail to fulfill (with 50 years of routine consistency) the expectation of working together; producing clear forward movement. However, asserting such restrictions upon the communication event, without first providing an avenue for them to legally produce and release that level of expected proof (without undue risk to personal self-injury), is certainly unreasonable. It is an example of failure to partake in a team effort or the outright withdrawal from group coherency. In promoting such restrictions they may be asking "what are we making together” but they are not allowing an equitable joint effort to occur. Therefore their response becomes self-defeating for their particular needs.

Of serious concern, when participants retreat from group coherency, they open themselves to follow with even greater emotional responses, exerting their personal power of self-assertion and aggression in order to cut through barriers, penetrating the consciousness of the other participants, such as considering more extreme requirements or actions which violate the sovereignty of other participants. An example in this manner of a further reach for proof and power can be found in the suggestion that abductees, contactees, and MILAB victims relinquish their sovereignty by allowing themselves to be chipped with a device like the RFID tag made by Verichip which can then be tracked via GPS. According to this suggestion, such a device would be formatted to output a minute by minute log of where the device has been and could even be networked into Google Maps to track its movements in real-time. Verichip’s human implant device has been almost wholly rejected by the major public whereas in contrast it has been toyed and experimented with on a small scale by elites and their high security facilities. It’s blatant violation of human rights and privacy has largely restricted its use despite international governments plans to implement it as a data gathering, security and control staple in human society. Allowance of this suggestion to manifest into real use could carry consequences which legally impact a population subgroup of unknown size around the globe and then traverse the scope of application to enact itself upon a determinedly unwilling global population which creates a spiral of conflict outside of the contact paradigm. Such a conflict would be a detriment to both the Disclosure process and the secrecy maintenance proponents.

In exopolitical mediation, the participants are struggling for their legitimate rights to power and affirmation. We tend to look on power in a negative way and associate it with abuse. Rollo May, however has a different take on it. Mr. May, a psychologist of distinguished career, “whose contributions to the humanistic movement are highly significant, contended that power is a fundamental aspect of the life process. Indeed, he believed that powerlessness corrupts the human personality by robbing the individual of a sense of meaning and significance…He argued that power occurs in an individuals life in five functional forms.” (4)

Those forms are the ‘power to be’, ‘power as self-affirmation’, ‘power as self-assertion’, ‘power as aggression’, and ‘power as violence’. A legitimate use of power can include actualizing one’s own self in a perceived hostile environment. Many in the public, and the exopolitical/ufology community view the secrecy paradigm as a hostile environment. Therefore a leap to the destructive use of power occurs when tolerance to powerlessness is exceeded. This can be seen when exopoliticians leave the group coherency in aggression to inflict injury, unjust restrictions, or the taking of power simply to increase the range of their control. In the personal experience of these exopoliticians the sense of meaning and significance they gain through the mediation event has been lost.

The application of the communication perspective questions, open the door to an extended depth of dialog regarding what limitations or extent should be applied to the pursuit of truth and participant expectations, in order to maintain human liberties and ethical conduct on all sides. In the evolution of the contact paradigm, wide ranging impacts and consequences to participant approaches, touch everyone on the planet. It has the potential to set disconcerting precedents that can be applied even beyond the management of the paradigm’s direct influence. It is therefore highly important for Exopolitical Mediators to be very conscious of the directions communications among participants take.

An exopolitical mediator may choose, upon perception of these trends, to intervene with a directional comment or open the floor to a discussion of the larger picture where the consequences of the limits or extents of the pursuit of truth are addressed. If the participants can discover for themselves through topic interaction, an understanding of how their expectations and efforts impact the other participant members or the wider global scope then a reformulation of group coherency may evolve with positive results.

“that which is utopian is not that which is unattainable; it is not idealism; it is a dialectic process of denouncing and announcing; denouncing the dehumanizing structure, and announcing the humanizing structure.” ~ Paulo Freire (3)

An Answer to Query Regarding Journal Content Submissions

In answer to a question regarding what subjects is appropriate for the Compass Morainn Journal, I am suggesting the following to assist member authors in encouragement toward producing pieces which will greatly benefit the Exopolitical Mediation field and all others in the Contact Paradigm at this time. The Journal as a part of the Compass Morainn tool package is to assist in several aspects of the resource Compass Morainn is designed to be.

One we are an educational resource to assist professionals in the human mainstream sciences like psychology and other fields, make the evolution or transition into the exopolitical mediation field. For instance, an author might consider how they as professionals rationalize their work on a personal level within the field to maintain objectivity and neutrality while working with whistleblowers or contactees who have many concerns with or before any presentation they might offer, based on their knowledge and experiences, to the world community, is very much a topic in need of a presentation.

We also are a resource to individuals experiencing the miriad forms of Contact to give them necessary information regarding who and what an Exopolitical Mediator is and how one or a group can assist them in their Disclosure effort or other needs. What are the limitations of an Exopolitical Mediator? Both personally and legally? What is the strengths or benefits to engaging in a working relationship with one?

Thirdly we are a resource to the world to assist in understanding the Contact Paradigm as it functionally exists in this point in time. Its history of mediators and their participants, its dangers, the hopes of its professionals & experiencers, its phenominal humanitarians who've dedicated their lives, their reputations, and often their own personal financial resources to be available to bridge gaps and facilitate an atmosphere of understanding and reconcilliation with regards to the many groups, factions, and lone individuals moving behind the scenes throughout the whole of the paradigm. It is a window into the Exopolitical world which brings such amazing information to the public table.

There is tremendous opportunity for authorship, leadership, and participation in forming up this new field into a strong network of people and resources. We are rapidly approaching a tipping point in the collective perception of the paradigm and its openness toward Disclosure. As that evolution takes place the role of the Exopolitical Mediator will assuredly evolve as well. Documenting where we've been, how we facilitate collaboration, and information release will also assist in creating a vision of where we shall go and what we shall become as a Service to Other oriented group of professionals.

Welcome aboard to all Authors and Researchers...I look forward to your contributions.

An Invitation To Compass Morainn

When we talk about Exopolitics, we speak mostly of events or information about the mirad forms of extra-terrestrial contact. Rarely do we focus upon the individuals who bring us the events or information. These individuals come from a wide range of backgrounds some such as Contactees and Abductees from the public sector. Others such as Whistleblowers and sanctioned military or corporate releasers, step only far enough from the shadows to give indication that they exist but little more.

These varied individuals rarely come forward alone. Often they request assistence from researchers within the fields of exopolitics, ufology, conspiracy, and the many more formal sciences to reach out to the public world where the gift of the unknown can bear a heavy personal toll. The researchers and other service providers who interconnect with them are Exopolitical Mediators. They bridge the gaps between the functional daylight and the shadows of our reality. Working as a neutral third party, the exopolitical mediator assists one or more participants to reach out in a variety of ways amidst an uninformed public.

In an ever increasing disclosure oriented environment, this service has become crucial to the lives of many Contact experiencers. It gives them the ability to maintain their dignity and autonomy and provides a voice in the events, experiences, and interactions impacting not only their own lives but the broader global spectrum of the Contact Paradigm encompassing the peoples of Earth.

For over sixty years practicing exopolitical mediators have functioned alone, independently, rarely ever connecting with others in the same field for they were few and far between. Today with the explosion of the Exopolitical field of study, their ranks have swelled around the world. Yet still they have not had a network to call their own or resources to assist them in providing the service to humanity which they have taken unto themselves as their personal calling.

Today I would like to introduce you to the debut of that network. Compass Morainn is an association of Exopolitical Mediators, working to establish and improve this newly organizing field of service called Exopolitical Mediation, within the collaborative fields of Exopolitics, Sociology, Cultural-Anthropology, Psychology, History, Medicine, and Law. Their website is

http://compassmorainn.webs.com/

It is a new tool for exopolitical mediators with information pertinent to their trade, trade news, a member forum, website translation, and soon a dedicated database and blog for members publications on the subject. You are cordially invited to visit the Compass Morainn site and review information about Exopolitical Mediation and Mediators. The site is open to the public and membership for those interested in the field is free of charge.
