The Typical Unusual
It appears as though the unusual has taken on a life of its own throughout the last 30 years alone. These days, reports of amazing events are commonplace. It is also commonplace to assume that science has the ignorance of denial.
These include psychic phenomena, out-of-body experiences, near-death experiences, hauntings, channeling of disembodied spirits, angel visits, UFO sightings, and alien abductions, to mention a few.
The presence of Otherworlds, or Unseen Worlds, as I like to call them, is implied by all of these events.
These incidents have never previously taken on such massive proportions in recent memory. Labeling such experiences as aberrations of a damaged mind is challenging when large numbers of individuals who are perfectly normal start having remarkable events.
Maybe the present surge in unusual occurrences may prompt us to reconsider how we view the world. There might be more reasons for past events than we might think if we search the past for solutions.
The Otherworlds: Other or Beyond This World
It opens up a bag of worms if it’s feasible to conjecture on the genuine existence of the supposedly mythological polytheistic god, suggesting that there were, instead of supernatural gods, flesh-and-blood “gods”—that is, technologically sophisticated extraterrestrials.
But what of the other members of the ostensibly legendary menagerie, such as the Fairy-Folk and their Otherworld? All right, let’s give them a fair shot as well.
Fairies, like dragons, are found in almost every civilization, including those of Polynesia, Asia, the American Indians, and, of course, Northern Europe.
To unite the past and present, fairies and elves (Fairy-Folk in general) equate to the modern UFO “Greys,” or the modern UFO “Greys” equate to the mythological but real and historical Fairy-Folk.
The idea of someone discovering, traveling to, or being abducted to some sort of magical realm or location inhabited by strange, even supernatural, beings—typically god-like deities and/or fairy folk—is a recurring theme in mythology.
When they return to their natural world, there seems to be no connection between the amount of time they believed they had spent in that magical place and the amount of time that passed between them leaving their regular home for enchantment land and returning to their natural world at a later date.
It’s possible that a year or more of that person’s natural time passes for each day, week, or month they spend in the realm of enchantment. As an example, we have the magical realm of the Otherworld, which is mythological—or is it?
Otherworld mythology
In Celtic mythology, the Otherworld (also known as the Sidhe, Caers, or Tir na nÓg) is a realm that exists alongside the mortal world. It is often described as a supernatural realm of everlasting youth, beauty, health, abundance, and joy. This mystical realm is home to the Celtic deities and possibly also the dead.
Characteristics
- Elusive: The Otherworld is usually difficult to access, and its boundaries are unclear.
- Parallel universe: It exists alongside the mortal world, but is separate from it.
- Magical paradise: The Otherworld is often depicted as a peaceful and idyllic realm, where the inhabitants live in joy and abundance.
- Multiple names: The Otherworld has various names in different Celtic mythologies, such as Annwn (Welsh), Avalon (Arthurian legend), Tír na nÓg (Irish), Mag Mell (Irish), and Emain Ablach (Irish).
Ways to Enter
- River crossings: In some mythologies, a river must be crossed to enter the Otherworld, often with the help of an old man who transports the soul.
- Invitation: Myths also describe heroes visiting the Otherworld after being invited by its residents.
Features
- Wisdom-imparting waters: In Celtic and Germanic myths, the waters of the river leading to the Otherworld grant wisdom and inspiration.
- Peaceful meadows, islands, and buildings: The Otherworld is often depicted as a serene and beautiful realm.
Comparisons
- Similar concepts: The idea of an Otherworld or parallel universe can be found in mythologies and cultures worldwide, such as the Greek and Indic concepts of a river of forgetfulness or wisdom.
Otherworlds: Reassessing the History
First point of consideration: Do archival records point to the existence of extraterrestrial visitors?
From prehistoric Sumerian, Egyptian, Greek, and Roman civilizations to native tribes, the mythology of these ancient societies tells us stories of unexpected visits from otherworldly deities and gods.
Ancient humans both feared and revered the “Visitors from elsewhere,” and the majority of their civilizations were predicated on a physical recognition of otherworldly realms.
Similar to how we try to discredit people’s extraordinary experiences today by labeling them as mental aberrations, we have dismissed ancient recorded accounts of extraterrestrial visits as the superstitious folly or imaginative fantasy of a primitive people.
Rather than accepting the Otherworld beliefs of both ancient and modern humans as solid proof of human communication with other realms, our scientific societies often interpret them symbolically, seeing them as manifestations of historical psychological archetypes.
First Assessment: There’s a good chance that historical documents contained both literal and symbolic depictions of reality.
We run the risk of misinterpreting today’s remarkable happenings by misrepresenting ancient events, and our readings of ancient records may not accurately reflect the actualities those records were meant to describe.
What if the myths of old were, for the most part, vivid depictions of real-life events? Today’s cultures use a variety of media, including news broadcasts, drama, comedy, fiction, non-fiction, and the arts, to document and portray the essence of cultural events.
When ancient peoples drew strange flying machines and helmeted guests in their cave drawings or wrote of their intricate dramas involving angels, creator gods, and visits from otherworlds, they may have been doing exactly the same thing.
If we weren’t currently dealing with exactly the same kind of extraordinary encounters in our modern civilization, it would be simpler to continue to explain these historical experiences as the products of the primitive mind.
Second Point of Consideration: Is there a minority that believes in the existence of otherworlds?
An increasing number of modern humans are reporting encounters with extraterrestrial life.
The last forty years have seen the emergence of modern New Age culture, which lays a strong focus on the spiritual realm.
Communication with channeled spirits and contact with extraterrestrials (ETs) are common components of New Age spiritual development.
American Indian, Aboriginal, and numerous other tribal cultures have traditionally taken Otherworld interpretations literally. The bulk of our extinct races left behind evidence indicating that foreign contact had a crucial role in the development of their sociological systems.
Humans have shown evidence of awareness of the presence of other inhabited worlds from the ancient polytheistic, pantheistic, pagan, and monotheistic religions to the rich historical tapestry of cultural mythology and the religions we hold most dear today.
Cultural differences exist in the titles, places, and characteristics attributed to the Otherworlds. The terms “heaven,” “purgatory,” and “otherworlds” are used in both Christianity and Judaism.
They were referred to as Olympus, the home of the gods, in ancient Greek mythology. The Otherworlds are defined by tribal cultures and New Age beliefs in terms of other dimensional levels, and occasionally as identified planetary systems in our known galaxies.
The widespread belief in the literal existence of other inhabited worlds is unaffected by vocabulary and classification.
Assessment Two: Most people on the planet have confirmed, in their own minds, the presence of other worlds inhabited by sentient species that occasionally engage with human civilization.
The majority of people on Earth have always accepted the reality of visitors from other worlds and the literal existence of the unseen Otherworlds, both within traditional,
New Age, and indigenous religious communities of today and throughout the ancient civilizations of historical record. Whether the Visitors are perceived as spirits, angels, devils, or extraterrestrials, the fundamental idea is that enigmatic beings from Otherworlds engage in communication with Earth and human society.
Third Point: If modern science hasn’t been able to establish the existence of Otherworlds, how did the ancient people know about them?
Two main presumptions underpin our modern scientific paradigm’s attempt to deny the existence of other inhabited worlds:
In local planetary settings, conditions favorable to evolved biological life have not yet been discovered, and no planets exhibiting signs of extant or historical civilization have been discovered.
The majority of people on Earth and throughout history have understood that there are inhabited other worlds, even though scientific institutions will not openly acknowledge this possibility until they can provide tangible evidence of it.
Assessment Three: Scientific theories, technological confirmation, or mathematical computation did not bring knowledge of the Otherworlds to our historical masses.
Probably, humans’ direct interactions with the realities of other-dimensional systems and direct communication with visitors from other worlds are how this information was acquired.
If the truth of the unseen worlds was confirmed by firsthand experience, ancient peoples did not require technology to demonstrate its presence.
It’s possible that knowledge of the otherworld was transmitted from generation to generation after sporadic reports of early human encounters with extraterrestrial beings.
Only a small percentage of people hold the views represented by the skepticism that the bulk of our scientific communities currently promote regarding the possibility that aliens have visited Earth.
These people are generally individuals who agree with the scientific community’s presumptions.
Because modern science does not take into account a wider range of criteria when constructing its hypothesis, it may be missing the reality of Otherworld realities, which the majority of people on Earth have known about for all time.
First of all, the idea that there are undiscovered non-Earthly environments supporting evolved biological life is predicated on the idea that science has discovered every conceivable form of evolved biological life and that all forms of biological life share the same environmental requirements.
The truth is that science may be ignorant of certain highly evolved non-carbon-based biological life forms (like silica-based biology), and other forms of biology might need different kinds of environmental conditions.
Planets that are thought to be uninhabitable may actually be home to as-yet-undiscovered advanced life forms in subterranean, surface, or etheric civilizations.
Second, and perhaps most importantly, the theory that there isn’t any evidence of extant or historical civilizations on otherworlds is predicated on two improbable premises:
With the use of contemporary technical instruments, it is possible to perceive, locate, and identify every planet and galaxy in the universe.
It is conceivable to theorize the existence of any imaginable planet using modern mathematical calculations.
The idea that inhabited Otherworlds might reside not only on different planets in different star systems but also in other-dimensional spaces has not yet received much attention from our so-called experts.
There could be reality fields that are different from our own, existing within undiscovered parallel universe systems, or visits could take place via inter-temporal structures that facilitate interaction between different space-time eras.
Although the existence of parallel, multidimensional, and multitemporal universes may be confirmed by quantum physics theory, our scientific knowledge of these realities is still in its infancy.
The truth is that because otherworlds—which support advanced civilizations—exist in dimensions or frequency fields that are unknown to our science, they may look invisible to us.
They might exist in parallel universes, which the theory of quantum physics is just now starting to imply.
The non-terrestrial visitors that have been documented throughout history may come from these hidden worlds, or they may come to Earth employing time travel through unexplained interstellar structures.
It’s possible that modern mathematical computation lacks the sophistication necessary to factor multi-dimensional reality systems into practicable theories, from which precise locations of Otherworlds can be inferred.
These hypotheses about why other inhabited worlds might appear to be invisible are just as legitimate as the scientific theory that says these worlds can’t exist since science hasn’t found them yet.
Though they may not be scientifically verified, otherworlds have long been believed by the majority of people.
Is science ignorant, or does science have the ignorance of denial?
