JUNG's
"Flying Saucers : A Modern Myth of Things Seen in the Skies" (Paperback)
The first English edition was in print, published in 1959.
"Flying Saucers, A Modern Myth of Things Seen in the Skies", is controversial psychoanalyst C.G. Jung's floundering attempt to embrace the UFO phenomenon with a stilted logic that does not exist in the UFO realm.
Like many who have not actually seen UFOs nor have had bizarre alien encounters with non-human intelligences, Jung cannot, or will not, wrap his mind around the literal truth of reported worldwide experiences of UFOs and their alien pilots, singularities of his 'reality'.
Reading this book, seeing his thoughts emerge on paper, one can see his struggle intellectually with indigestible experiences of high strangeness with aliens; his explanations seem stranger and weirder than the actual phenomenon itself!
Jung holds that alien UFO technological craft which morph into different shapes, wink out and reappear and transport human abductees are a mere projection of mankind's "collective unconscious".
He states that although secularized Western Civilization's Every Man has lost belief in any paranormal God of Christianity/ Judaism that, nonetheless, the human psyche has a religious, myth-making function which is unconscious in nature and which cannot be turned off.
Jung's seems clearly baffled for he postulates that at our core, even in especially "rational" or especially atheistic modern thinking human beings, is a deep, secret religious longing.
A "conflict occurs", he claims, because the conscious mind has rejected God; thus, the "collective unconscious" 'compensates' for this, by projecting illusions, hallucinations of UFOs as well as hallucinations of the alien beings who pilot them.
The lengths that such uninitiated minds to UFO/alien realities will go, to explain away such things, is rather quite remarkable, and Jung is a sure example of such debunker oriented minds.
To Jung, the global phenomenon of reported UFOs and their alien beings is a mere 'projection' of our unconscious desire; we 'create' an ersatz psychological substitute for God.
I think I can grasp this feeble attempt of Jung, towards a psychological metaphor, for whether it's enmasse looking for God, or attending group UFO sky watching, we ARE still looking 'up'.
But Jung further also goes on to connect people who see UFOs and who report the abduction phenomenon with the universal anxieties they have, created by World War II and the Cold War, a silly psychological surmise that pales, beside the monumental evidences of Earth's alien reality.
Somehow, human fears are transformed, according to Jung, to become reduced into the mind's unreal projections of flying saucers, in his words, "a modern myth of things seen in the sky".
Jung, who refutes UFOs and aliens, on a sheer symbolic level, exhibits little common sense or innate horse sense.
UFO observations, though non-religious by nature, DO encompass a similarity to the "spiritual" or semi-religious dimension, in many tangential ways:
Part of the phenomenon does involve astral abductions; one's body is left behind in a car, or in bed, and one's spiritual essences are extracted, 'vibrated' out of one's body..
One reports seeing one's body receding below as one is ascending into an overhead craft..
One's astral essences , in abductions, maintain all of one's personality traits and idiosyncratic fine judgmental qualities.
As well, some power seeking abductees have surely assumed the roles of purported prophets, who bring messages of occult truth and shaman- like salvation from aliens, who in effect become new gods.
There IS a strong connection between the ideas of abductees and those native to the ideas of Theosophy.
And there ARE strong similarities between the predatory spiritual treatment of abductees by aliens, and the too easily dismissed notions of demonic possession.
However, Jung goes much further than symbolic associations by connecting UFOs to his personal more contentious idea of a LITERAL collective unconscious, its "projections" and its "archetypes".
To his mind, a flying saucer is an archetype, compared to the mandala, its round shape a universal symbol of' wholeness'.
Jung is always however sufficiently unclear as to whether he regards these psychic projections in some sense real, or whether they are to his thinking sheer internal, subjective illusions.
He does not elucidate whether he sees UFOs as hallucinations, or if they may then exist as physical entities
Jung leads one to believe that he sees the supernatural in a literal sense, but that he would never say this explicitly, because of his trained "scientific" pretenses.
He may have seen himself as a psychological prophet of the occult's salvation or as its apologist.
The rest of his book is even more far-fetched; Jung makes more highly subjective and idiosyncratic analysis of dreams and paintings that do in some way deal with UFOs.
Jung painfully squeezes all kinds of "mythological" symbolism from them and finally goes on to
review the quasi-religious musings of an abductee, Orfeo Angelucci, whom he calls "naive".
The similarities between the messages received by Orfeo from aliens, to certain religious notions, are indeed somewhat striking.
But, The Collective Unconscious? !
A better explanation is that "naive" Orfeo had been reading Theosophical literature...
I can't say I was convinced by any of Jung's thinking .
"Flying Saucers", gives one a glimpse of how Jung approached UFO paranormal experiences as a mythical quasi-religious phenomena, for he painfully could not accept or understand these experiences, at face value.
If I were able to write him a letter, it would say:
"Dear Carl,
I have for years, personally had contact, seen these entities and their craft mentioned by so many other abductees the world over, and seen them eyeball-to eyeball.
You're a P.H.D. trained to be simple minded, yet one with enough intellectual gall to preach that UFOs and aliens are fictional imaginings, which the world now knows to be pure horseapples, such that P.H.D., in your case stands for Piled High and Deep.
I know, for a certainty, having passed many psychiatric and neurological medical exams, that I am not schizophrenic, nor mentally ill, hallucinating, paranoid or suffering brain lesions, for having experienced these alien beings eyeball-to-eyeball, aboard their craft during abductions since I was a child.
Without question, these encounters clearly contradict everything that you (and I )have ever learned or been told by clearly uninformed others.
I have been an abductee and researcher for forty years and well know that your dismissal of UFOs as symbolic mandalas is a mistaken analytical contrivance, to explain away a reality that you could not logically conceive of.
Thomas Jefferson, likewise an also otherwise brilliant man, refused to accept presumed recorded and documented meteorite accounts, as he logically and also mistakenly believed that rocks, " could never float in the air to then later, fall and come down".
I have had on-going interactions with non-human UFO beings since I was a young child, and after forty years of such experiences and much research I share with you what I have gleaned.
There are only two predominate alien categories visiting us, essentially : those brilliantly malevolent, and those who won't get involved.
Sanguine, Pollyanna thinking is puerile , concerning true alien motives and tactics, who as good gameskeepers never let the animals within this preserve, that we call, "Earth", suspect that it is indeed, a preserve.
Aliens and their craft are as equally inter-dimensional as they are inter-galactic.
In addition, when commonly seen UFOs wink out and reappear, they have already traveled to and then returned back, in time. They are the masters of our Universe.
Some of these sinister beings seek to infuse their dis-corporate energies into our multilayered psyches, and represent joy-riding lamprey parasites of human consciousness, itself.
Aliens ride the reincarnation roller coaster along with us, exploiting our spiritual quantum, a quality that we as a race , are barely aware of.
The full alien truth, is down a long hall, and somewhere else, for we are seen by them, as merely perfunctory, not unlike the way that we see poultry.
You cannot see your alien nose upon your face and thus assert that your alien nose is UNIVERSALLY not there, but is instead a projected UFO nasal image from an inner mental conflict.
I, assure you that your UFO nose, contrary to your opinion, is UNIVERSALLY, in fact, actually there, perched between your eyes and mouth.
To persist in such pseudo scientific assertions, to an alien abducted person, one who has seen UFOs and aliens, is an inane attempt, one that denies, contradicts and explains away, many others direct experiences with such beings.
Such convoluted persistence is more than useless: it is damaging disinformation.
Your crippled faculties reveal a paltry understanding of humankind's history of alien/ UFO interactions, clearly beyond your own limited grasp .
A formally trained psychiatrist's postulations, in this paranormal realm, is as useless as teats on a bull....
While you argue that one's UFO nose ISN'T really there, I and other abductees, hold ourselves up, as a mirror to you, to point out obvious physical snouts and sinuses.
Our remarkably similar worldwide alien/UFO experiences, refute your useless -pseudo- logical analysis, and
we hold our UFO noses up high, a posture of indignation, at your notion that we do imagine our alien noses.
You're not a singularity of cynicism; according to one eloquent abductee:
" A leap in consciousness will require a dissolution and restructuring of your beliefs about the nature of reality."
To me, to live unburdened by an insatiable curiosity to comprehend the mysteries of the UFOs in our skies, is quite an amazing thing, in itself.
She, the abductee, continues:
"The history of mankind has been punctuated by personalities who refused to be bound by the grand illusion of space and time, seekers who penetrated the limitations of space and form."
Knowing the aliens reside in a different reality explains why this whole UFO phenomenon is so slippery; "we exist within a matrix of other realities all merging in one spot: the mind."
Aliens and their craft exist.
My expanded consciousness and mental abilities are merely the outcome of my contacts with them.
To again quote this author-abductee:
"Their world coexists with our own intimately intertwined and separated by the thinnest veil- our arrogant assumption that we are the sole proprietors of the only reality."
Alien technology, recovered from downed discs and other craft, has already inspired Skunkworks to give us the ability to recreate and reverse engineer:
lasers,
fiber optics,
nuclear power,
ultrasound uses
cold fusion anti gravity,
microwaves,
stealth technology,
nanotechnology,
microchips,
specialized surgical tools,
cloning-genetic engineering-
and most recently we scramble to deduce 'smart skins' of craft which like chameleons, alter shape and color according to environments.
All of these magical technologies were successfully studied, reverse engineered and imitated.
But, aliens aboard UFOs in reptilian and in grey form, see us in much the same perfunctory way, that we see chickens, as a crop to be harvested and farmed, not a species to be elevated to equanimity.
Sincerely yours,
Paul Schroeder"
Director of CIA, Admiral R.H. Hillenkoetter: "It is time for the truth to be brought out in open Congressional hearings. Behind the scenes, high-ranking Air Force officers are soberly concerned about UFOs. But through official secrecy and ridicule, citizens are led to believe the unknown flying objects are nonsense. To hide the facts, the Air Force has silenced its personnel." p. 58, quoted from New York Times, February 28, 1960, p. L30 
Paul's BIO:
Abductions and their remnant elusive memories have opened all this for Paul, a confirmed atheist, UNTIL Paul saw aliens float him out of his body, in his bed, at night.
Then, he knew that they were interested in an essence that he never suspected that he had, a nonphysical soul.
Our spiritual powers that interest and addict interdimensionals are the very powers that can be used to thwart further attacks.
They infect auras with attachments to themselves and ride the reincarnation roller coaster with human beings, as a sanctuary, to avoid the death that they fear and to steal the spiritual recycling that we have.
Souls are garnered, detoured from our natural spiritual evolution in Heaven.
These joyriding grays can be sinister, discorporate alien souls, stuck to our energies, who bring a new meaning to the concept of a silent invasion.
