THE INVISIBLE COLLEGE
=====================
Way back in the "dark ages" of science, when scientists
themselves were suspected of being in league with the
Devil, they had to work privately. They often met
clandestinely to exchange views, and the results of their
various experiments. For this reason, they called
themselves the Invisible College. [1]
Dr. Jacques Vallee, encountering what he refers to as dogmatic
scientific skepticism, grew frustrated at the rigid, close-minded
attitude of supposed "scientists." He knew of professional
astronomers who, experiencing their own UFO sightings, refused to
go public. French scientists who came across similar
manifestations "thought only of suppressing the records." [2]
Throughout the "scientific" community there was "the deliberate
destruction of scientific data." [3]
But fortunately for true science, Dr. Vallee began to be
furtively contacted by professionals who secretly sought to
honestly investigate. In academia's climate of fear, they dared
not pursue the Truth openly, wherever it might lead, for fear of
ridicule, ostracism, and the drying-up of funds. But in the dead
of night they would sneak away to secret meeting places and share
ideas. "This group has grown larger over the years.
Whimsically, it calls itself the 'Invisible College.'" [4]
Unknown and unheralded, like the medieval monks of old they are
carrying the Lamp of Learning to the future, in this, our current
dark age.
But why the suppression of open inquiry into the UFO phenomena?
Astrophysicist Vallee, in his book *Dimensions*, points out the
religious subtext inherent in the multiple, unexplained
"sightings" which have occurred over the centuries. From the
Virgin Mary, "hit by a mysterious beam of light" and subsequently
bearing a fatherless child, to Joseph Smith, visited by a light
like unto a "consuming fire," to Fatima and a "globe of light"
witnessed by thousands, there is an angle other than
materialistic to these events.
The religious subtext explains why the official Soviet position
toward the manifestations almost immediately solidified into a
strong "Nyet." The "decadent capitalists" were behind a
psychological attack on "Communist realism" (atheism), it was
claimed. [5]
Here in the USA, where "Democrat" has mutated into
"Neo-Democrat," Marxism, especially on campus, has devolved into
Neo-Marxism. In fact, Marxist and Democrat have both cast off
their rough edges (like concern for workers) to form a new belief
system where the State is paramount and "God is dead." (=God= is
not dead. =Nietzche= is dead.) God is always superior to the
State, which is why when a fellow like Nietzche or Freud comes
along, the State-controlled "scholars" will promote that fellow
to the "head of the class." Another of the many ways in which
the State, through its controlled academics, is pushing the
dethronement of God is by changing the calendar nomenclature
"B.C." (Before Christ) and "A.D." (*Anno Domini*, "in the year
of our Lord") to "B.C.E." ("before the common era") and "C.E."
("common era"). This attack on calendar nomenclature began when
"the Jacobins inaugurated the modern effort to create a Godless
social order in the French Revolution." [6]
In my halcyon grad school days, belief in God marked one as a
"simpleton." In that oh-so-sophisticated environment, though,
there was at least tolerance for professor-preachers of Freudian
atheism. And this is some (or more) of the reason why any
serious, open look into the UFO phenomena receives a
not-so-subtle "thumbs down" in academia. UFOs, like God, are
disturbing to the ultra-logical, mechanistic, bureaucratic system
planned by the emerging Super State. UFOs, like God, are
inconvenient. And so, both are mocked.
But secretly, in unknown locations, meets the Invisible College.
