David,
Thanks for the post.
I knew that Jung had written a book about UFOs but haven't read it. I
will now. I knew he considered the circular shape of UFOs to be a
mandala, a symbol of wholeness in the collective unconsciousness.
My personal view is many "abductees" are cons trying to run a scam for
fame and fortune. The rest I believe, along with Carl Sagan ("The
Demon-Haunted World") experienced hypogognic hallucinations. He writes
in the past, in more religious times, people were claiming visits and
kidnappings by demons, succubi and incubi who sexually assaulted people.
Now, today, in more scientific times, these "demons" have turned into
"aliens."
I know a woman who claims aliens kidnapped her and took her eggs. When I
ask if the Kahlua and marijuana might have had something to do with it,
she never answers.
I agree with Voltaire, who said, "Lord, please make my opponents
ridiculous." When people start talking about aliens and UFOs and
abduction, my stock answer is, "They can travel trillions of miles,
right? So compared to us they're genuises. But what's with the
kidnappings and medical torture? Are they evil? And why all these anal
probes? Are they gay? You mean we're under assault by evil gay alien
geniuses?"
This never fails to get several laughs.
