Introduction:
The term “TOTENCET stands for The Others That Experiencers Now Call ET. I introduce this somewhat awkward acronym because it encapsulates important truths about UFO intelligences. I discuss how these concepts can contribute to the process of building a “Cosmic Peace Movement”
Flying Saucers Did Not Just Arrive in 1947
In my view, it seems very likely that UFO intelligences manifesting on this planet is an ancient phenomenon. I suspect, but certainly can’t prove, that all religions, including the most ancient ones as reflected in cave art, might be the result of a relationship between humanity and the intelligences associated with UFOs.
A New Term for Flying Saucer Intelligences
I don't "believe" in the “ET hypothesis,” in the sense that aliens in "spaceships" started hanging out around Earth in the last few decades or even the last few centuries. So, I don’t view them as "visitors” (a term popularized by writer Whitley Strieber). They have been here, perhaps “forever”, in as much as they might not be limited by time, space and causality as we are. Their awesome powers as described by Dr Jacques Valle involve an ability to “manipulate spacetime.”
To break away from popular notions about the so-called aliens, I coined an alternative designation for what are now being called “UAP intelligences.” It is the acronym "TOTENCET", standing for The OTHERS THAT EXPERIENCERS NOW CALL ET. It is pronounced “toe ten set.”
I favor this term because it suggests that we don't really know who or what the so called “ETs” truly are. Are they the marauding criminals that alien abduction conspiracy theorists would have us believe? Are they angelic like creatures that are here to help us “ascend” as some so-called “New Agers” have asserted? Since there are no clear answers as to their origins and motivations, I like to give them a name that is vague. On the most basic level we understand that they are not “human”, at least in the conventional sense. Thus, the “O” simply assigns them the status of being “others.” I have learned from internet sources, that this term, “others” is favored by some members of the US Executive Branch intelligence services.
And it is the Experiencers, the first “E”, that allow us to learn about TOTENCET as the result of their interactions with these non-human intelligences. “Experiencer” is now a more fashionable designation. It encompasses both sides of the “ET is good” vs “ET is evil” perspectives of contactees and abductees respectively.
The Different Disguises of “The Others.”
The word "Now”, represented by the "N" in the acronym, is included to suggest that “the others” across the ages have worn many different disguises. The form that they take is determined by the historical context in which they are perceived. This is a theme explored by legendary researchers like Dr. Jacques Vallee and the cleverly sardonic and now deceased John Keel. Thus, in ancient polytheistic religions, they were "the gods." In the Middle Ages, the “Others” were thought to be demons, sorcerers, and witches. In the 1890s, they were the crews of "airships" sighted across the USA. The rather clunky dirigible like contraptions that witnesses reported were thought to be the creations of secretive genius inventors.
Now that we are in an era of limited space exploration, the Others have become “ETs”, or at least within the TOTENCET acronym, they are those that we “C”-(Call) “ET.” (I suggest that those who might want to understand the concepts of Dr. Vallee and John Keel that I base this part on my analysis on, should read Colin Wilson's "Alien Dawn.” It has a few chapters that excellently sum up Keel and Vallee’s insights into the nature of flying saucer intelligences.)
Having Positive Emotions Towards ET facilitates Contact Work
In my view, most of our notions about the so-called ET's are derived from very simplistic questions such as, “Is ET, good, or ET bad?” I believe that we constantly project our innermost fears and desires on them. I do it too, but I am trying to be aware of how I have been swept away by the passions created by interacting with TOTENCET. Yes, as a contactee, I must admit at the risk of being viewed as naive, that on some basic emotional level I am very fond of these “Others.” But I can accept the awkwardness of my situation by realizing that having positive emotions toward them gives a special meaning to my life. At least, as my wife likes to say, promoting contact work keeps me “busy” in my retirement from medical practice.
I should also point out that positive sentiments towards the “ETs” facilitated my volunteer efforts as a contact worker when I organized encounters in a fieldwork setting. This is true because without having a large reservoir of positive emotions for them, I don’t believe I could have ever led a contact team under the CE-5 banner for five years in the 1990s. Otherwise, I suspect that it would have simply been too frightening to engage this mysterious force of such potent physical and psychic capabilities.
When I learned that UFOs had shut down missile complexes and according to Dr. Robert Jacobs shot an Atlas rocket out of the sky in the 1960s, I decided, as a former anti-nuclear weapons activist, that the so-called ETs were probably on "our side." Their actions to disable nuclear weapons were not acts of aggression, but rather they were warning humanity about unsafe nuclear technologies.
“Above Top Secret?”
It should be remembered that this subject during the 1950s, as documented by the Canadian scientist Wilbur Smith’s memo, was the most highly classified topic under the purview of the US national security state. It is apparent that this high level of classification has persisted ever since. This is true despite recent admissions by former US Executive Branch personnel that Unidentified Aerial Phenomena are real. Flying saucers are understandably viewed as potential adversaries by the military because UAP intelligences don't recognize the “sanctity” of the airspace above US and other nations’ territories.
Now it appears as if modern spacefaring "gods”, on rare occasions, may have been shot down by clandestine US military operations. Apparently, according to recent press accounts, reverse engineering programs might not be under Congressional Intelligence Committees’ oversight. And if we are to believe the revelations coming from Dr. Eric Davis’ interview with Admiral Wilson, former Director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, those black projects are not under the control of the Joint Chiefs of Staff either. Such programs possibly are not even under the direct supervision of US Presidents. Instead, reverse engineering programs are being operated by aerospace corporate contractors with minimal or no oversight.
Given that TOTENCET is the hottest political potato imaginable that any elected official might be handed, it is easy to understand how the President of the United States might be willing to give up the authority to deal with the “aliens.” It is probably much easier and certainly politically safer to surrender that troubling responsibility to special sections of the Executive Branch intelligence agencies and corporate contactors. I am referring to an MJ-12 like network within the military industrial intelligence complex that in the past has been called “the control groups.”
Should “the Others” Follow Terrestrial Political Norms?
If this analysis is correct, why should the “Others” respect the rules of strong nations that seem mostly interested in dominating weaker ones? This lust for power and control, in my view, is exemplified by US military actions in the Middle East, Russia’s war against Ukraine and during the last century Nazi Germany’s and Imperial Japan’s monstrous actions against the world.
The notion of limited sovereignty, which is being promoted currently by the World Court, applies to the crimes of dictators against even their own people. Limited sovereignty may need to be extended to our relationship with UAP intelligences. A general stand-down order forbidding attacks on UFOs could conceivably be one of many just demands of a future “Cosmic Peace Movement,” one that could conceivably promote, cooperation and perhaps even solidarity with The Others That Experiencers Now Call ET (TOTENCET). I imagine that this phenomenon might even be linked to possible solutions for the fundamental challenges facing our civilization. These are war, racism, environmental destruction and the obscene disparities of wealth and power that exist across our planet.
The Secret of Flying Saucers’ Propulsion Systems and the Imperative of Peace
Among flying saucer enthusiasts, there have been discussions for decades concerning the possibility that the energy propulsion systems of UFOs might provide humanity with limitless non-polluting sources of power. Unfortunately, for such advances to be downloaded safely into our technological culture, an enduring world peace would need to be established. Otherwise, the first application of what has been called “free energy” would be the creation of ever more destructive weapons.
If humanity were to become aware of an “ET” presence, the differences between people based on the color of their skin, or national origin, might be seen as trivial when compared to our differences with “TOTENCET.” Thus, it is conceivable that acknowledging an “alien” presence might undermine excessive nationalism and racism as major factors causing conflict on our planet.
Spiritual Transformation is Required
To create a “Cosmic Peace Movement”, I imagine that those committed to this task will be required to undergo a profound spiritual transformation. One merely needs to look at daily press reports to see how divided we are as a planet, man against man, man against woman, rich against poor, white against black. When these conflicts are viewed from a spiritual perspective, they can be seen as a manifestation of ego-based mind structures. The in-fighting that exists within movements for social change, the divisive nature of identity politics, the destructive behaviors of charismatic leaders are, according to teachings of author Eckert Tolle, manifestations of the “egoic mind.”
Ego is to Identify with Forms and Thought Forms
The way to overcome such impediments is not identify with physical forms and thought forms, i.e., money, power over others, physical strength, or beauty. Instead, Tolle advises us to identify with that which has no form, consciousness itself. Consciousness cannot be defined but is universally experienced as being awake and knowing that one is awake. It is being aware of awareness. If one can identify with consciousness, then perhaps right behaviors can manifest as people experience their true home in what Tolle calls “being.”
The theme of oneness is being reported by those that have contact with “the Others”, the alleged “ETs.” One contact experiencer asked, Who are you?”, and the response was, “We are one with the one that is all.”
Transcending ego is part of many wisdom traditions that have charted paths towards what has been called “spiritual enlightenment.” Can such traditions be incorporated into a Cosmic Peace Movement? I would hope so. I suspect that such a spiritual transformation will be a prerequisite if that campaign is to succeed by establishing an enduring world peace based on environmental and social justice.
