Håkan Blomqvist´s blog: UFO Research and the Esoteric Paradigm

Most serious
field investigators who have spent years documenting UFO, Fortean and
paranormal phenomena sooner or later come to a point where they start asking
themselves the basic question: what are the implications of all these
phenomena? There are of course ufologists and Forteans who gather cases like
stamp collectors, without bothering about paradigm issues or the scientific and
philosophical challenges implied by the phenomena. But for investigators with a
scholarly or intellectual approach the various phenomena are usually the
starting point of a life long search for the deeper existential questions.

Field
investigators who from personal experience have discovered that the orthodox
reductionist-materialist paradigm is untenable when confronted with UFOs and
paranormal phenomena find themselves facing a dilemma. How to find a world view
or paradigm that can be used as a reasonable working hypothesis to account for
all the unexplained phenomena? Entering the field of alternative world views is
for many a mission impossible with the hundreds of conflicting teachings from
different groups and cults. Like entering a djungle full of snakes and swamps.
Still, a pathfinder force attitude to this problem is necessary.

The critical and
scientifically minded student will eventually, if persistent, in this djungle
of conflicting messages and teachers, discover that there is a philosophy and
tradition of a quality vastly different from the popular new age channelings.
It is referred to as The Esoteric Tradition, Ancient Wisdom or Science of the
Multiverse and can be regarded as the third intellectual force or pillar in
cultural history alongside religion and science.

For those
non-conformist and heretical ufologists who wish to open the door to Forbidden
Science this guide in using Esotericism as a paradigm or working hypothesis can
be a starting point and inspiration. From a philosophical or bird´s-eye view
ufology is very much more than just simple identification of lights in the sky.
It may take many years of field investigation and study but eventually you will
probably arrive at the same conclusion as pioneer ufologist Jacques Vallee:

 ”…the history of ufology should be placed
within an esoteric context. Throughout history there has been a tradition of
higher knowledge, and the claim that it was accessible to us, if only we agreed
to be tested, to work through certain spiritual problems… That´s the meaning of
the hermetic schools. The UFO problem, the question of parapsychology, are central
to this business. Looking for the solution isn´t just a scientific project;
it´s a quest, an initiation, an enigma like that of the Sphinx…”.

(Jacques Vallee, Forbidden Science II, p. 211).
