spore: an organism that asexually reproduces itself in the mind of another organism and becomes active under certain conditions.

i’m sure mckenna touched on that concept somewhere, but everything is alien as in foreign, but at the same time nothing is alien cause it’s all from the same point of origin which is sound and light.. so where do we draw the line between the 2 other than just movement or non-movement.

what is the same point of origin? .. the sound or the light? or the friction to create one or the other.. but if there is friction, doesn’t there already have to be 2 of something? .. doesn’t there have to be 2 of something in order to create and explosion? ..

everything is everything or everything is alien .. :)

In essence he stated that perhaps what's happening with reality with regards to UFOs (and by extension faeries, goblins, leprechauns, etc.) is a middle ground between the super-rationalism from the sciences who demand concrete proof, and the mystical/UFO community that, while using a great deal of evidence--whether circumstantial or not-- alongside leap of faith (or, more accurately an intuited theory) is stuck at the other end of the reality spectrum. The third way-the Daemonic reality, incorporates both investigations. Harpur posits that what may be happening may be the jungian world-soul/gaia actively communicating with humanity through the metapsychological Unconscious Archetypes buried within our psyches. And with technological progress and awareness of the universe, these 'spirits' have evolved from faeires to little green men to the Greys. What is the purpose of such a communication? Perhaps it's what Mac Toonies is talking about at the end when refering to the mind and the limitations we impose on it, when the possibilities for the brain are astounding; the world essentially is giving us a 'wake up' call to the wider spectrum of reality.... That's why people like Mac Toonies and I have never seen a spriit/ghost/UFO, yet we're actively exploring, probing the membrane of reality--thus we don't need the wake up call... and this is why your average Joe farmer/office worker always seems to have the 'cool' transcendent paranormal experiences...
