UFO Researchers As Social Artists

Like others, I've been in the privileged position over the years of hearing thousands of first hand reports of UFO sightings and close encounters. Official sources have heard them too but for whatever reason have turned their backs on these witnesses leaving them to cope alone.

That leaves a handful of UFO researchers to struggle with lending support to thousands of people every year who can have difficulties with such life changing events. It adds another dimension to the researchers role that many were probably not aware of when they first ventured through the “UFO gate”. Nevertheless, here we are redefining what it means to be a researcher.

Sometimes we have to cope with being drawn into the drama of soul evolution for people who begin their UFO journey, for some “a dark night of the soul” experience for sure, coloured with a touch of the absurd. Many researchers have had no formal training in handling people who undergo this process let alone cope with the buttons it pushes in our own psyche?

Yes, we can be caught uncertain, unprepared and perhaps not fully realising what’s happening right in front of the collective nose on our face. Many of us are trying to figure out what’s really happening and understand the momentous process of societal evolution that is occurring from the peppering of close encounter experiences throughout our civilization.

Whether we like it or not, for many the role of UFO researcher has changed into that of a social artist. This means we can be required to provide guidance for individuals undergoing changing paradigms, values, belief systems and myths as they move into a new version of their lives.

Regardless of our state of preparedness we don’t seem to have the luxury of avoiding the part we are to play, not if we listen to our hearts anyway. The call has gone out and each of us has to answer it in our own way.
