THE
ESOTERRESTRIALS
An Occult Analysis of Aliens and Earthlings
by Joseph Kerrick
1997
Is it really conceivable that Earth is being visited by extra-
terrestrial beings? The answer is yes -- but you can conceive it
only if you have unified your own awareness enough to not get hung
up on certain dualistic conundrums, like the question of whether the
ETs are spiritual (angels, gods, demons) or physical (space aliens).
If you can't handle "both of the above", then you'll have to settle
for "neither". Or for the everlasting insipidity of agnosticism,
which is basically just a way of getting reconciled to your
ignorance.
Those who wish to know, and who will never rest until they do, are
not AGnostics but gnostics: people in quest of true unified
knowledge of themselves and of the cosmos -- for indeed, the same
patterns that govern the operation of the Universe are to be found
in the deepest soul of the individual human being, as well as the
forces that drive those patterns.
This is the Kabbalistic Tree of Life, showing how its 10 spheres
correlate with the 7 chakras, subtle energy centers within the human
organism; note that the 6th, 5th, and 3rd chakras are each
equivalent to a dyadic pair of spheres on the Tree. I have used
English words in place of the original Hebrew to render the
approximate meanings of the spheres. In a proper diagram, the
spheres are shown as circles arranged in the above configuration,
all interconnected by a series of horizontal, vertical, and diagonal
lines, which are the paths between the spheres.
A key mystery revealed by the Tree is the existence of
the Abyss, a
vast gulf of nothingness between the lower seven and upper three
spheres. A cryptic 11th sphere, here labeled "Mystery", is located
within the Abyss.
In one sense, the top three spheres are God, which explains the
"Blessed Trinity" of Catholic theology. God exists in "Heaven",
which is really the supernal realm Across the Abyss. But looking at
the chart, we find that in another sense the triune God dwells in
the two highest chakras of a human being, or at least an enlightened
human being who has opened his Third Eye and won his Crown.
The chakras are indeed the key to the development of the individual.
But they are also the key to the origin and evolution of species.
This we can see by looking at the schema of meta-evolution
formulated by Theosophy, the spiritual/philosophical movement
founded in the 19th century by Madame H.P. Blavatsky. In this
cosmology, the human spirit and the human species is destined to
evolve through seven "root-races", a concept that has very little to
do with the biological notion of race, and everything to do with an
expansion of the chakra-model to the scale of the collective
organism.
Each successive advance takes place when the species activates the
next higher chakra. According to Theosophical doctrine, all of
humanity as we have known it in historical times is the fifth
root-race, corresponding to the fifth chakra, centered in the
throat. The four preceding root-races each corresponded to a
collective development and activation of the respective chakra.
Furthermore, on the next smaller scale, each root-race progresses
through seven sub-races (and these again are not identical with
biological races).
This esoteric model based on the chakra/Tree of Life correspondence
can show us the answers to many mysteries which have stumped
postmodern thought. For instance: why do societies, civilizations,
and even life-forms rise and inevitably fall? The answer is built
into the very shape of reality. An organism or collective entity can
only evolve in a direct process until it reaches the Abyss. At that
point it must either Cross the Abyss or else devolve. It's only
possible to Cross the Abyss in certain circumstances at certain
definite points of the cycle, so most often the result is death or
devolution.
Each of the first four root-races ceased progressive development
with the fifth sub-race, because that was the point at which they
encountered the Abyss, and did not cross it -- and in fact they
could not, because the root-races are a part of the larger time-body
of total humanity, which will be complete only at the end of the
current "Round" of meta-evolution.
Therefore, in each of these cycles, a two-edged process occurred:
the root-race continued to develop into a sixth and seventh
sub-race, but these were degenerate -- evolutionary dead-ends.
Meanwhile, the most advanced and astute members of the fifth sub-race separated themselves from the rest of the social organism, and
in this isolated gene-pool they effected the mutational change which
unfolded the next chakra. Thus they evolved into the next root-race.
This process is the underlying reality behind legends of how
survivors of the sinking of
Atlantis founded the earliest
civilizations of our present historical cycle.
The present state of global civilization marks the climax of the
fifth sub-race of the fifth root-race. This means that it is also
the time of the apotheosis of the entire Round: this is the moment
when the human species itself must Cross the Abyss.
The basic apocalyptic implications of this fact should be clear, but
we must wait until the writing of the book to explicate the details.
For now we must turn our attention back to the other crucial aspect
of the situation, namely the aliens.
The
Tree of the Universal World extends, of course, from its 1st
sphere down to its 10th; at its 6th sphere it begins to overlap with
the Galactic World; its 10th sphere is the meeting-place of three
worlds; ([{10/6/1}]). This means that here there coincides the
Universal (sphere 10), the Galactic [sphere 6], and the
Solar
{sphere 1}. The same pattern of the overlapping of specific spheres
proceeds down through the Tree, as all the worlds interpenetrate.
This chart of the extended Tree of Life
(click image right) is traditionally called
"Jacob's Ladder," indicating that it portrays the esoteric reality
behind the Bible story in which Jacob saw a ladder reaching up into
Heaven, with angels ascending and descending upon it.
For indeed, the spheres of these higher Trees are said to be the
habitations of Angels. Every sphere is designated by the name of an
angel, which can also be understood as a collective entity: a whole
race, tribe, species, or "choir" of angels. And all these legions of
angels are ranked into three basic orders corresponding to the three
worlds.
The up-and-down / higher-and-lower imagery is supplemented in some
kabbalistic sources by three-dimensional imagery of smaller spheres
within larger spheres. Thus the "higher" worlds are also the greater
worlds, and contain the lesser worlds within themselves -- just as
within the Universe are galaxies, within galaxies are solar systems,
and within solar systems are planets. So the formations of the
material cosmos do in fact body forth the nested spheres of the
angelic realms.
And so it is that this ancient glyph correlates
perfectly with modern astronomical knowledge, fleshing it out with
the higher knowledge of life-forms far beyond the power of radio
telescopes to descry. For this perennial wisdom shows us that there
exist beings so vast that their reach is coextensive with the
Universe itself; that these are served by entities of galactic
proportion; and that the will of the Galactic Gods is in turn
administered by angelistic creatures who oversee every stellar
system and the lesser beings within it.
Thus we return to our familiar terrestrial world: the level of
organic life-forms existing on the surface of planet Earth in this,
our solar system. So it is that material life is the lowest form,
existing at the very bottom of the hierarchy. Or is it?
No indeed, for there is still another series of Trees below it, as
illustrated in our next diagram:
The postmodern mind, speaking from within its constrictions, asks:
"How can this be?" How can there exist regions that are less
tangible than our familiar solid, physical world, and yet are not
superior to it and greater, like the worlds of those beings
traditionally described as angels and gods, but rather inferior to
it, and lesser? Is this the hellish realm of the very devils? And
how can such creatures be real, since science has found no trace of
them below the surface of the Earth?
We shall not here explore the fact that postmodern scientism knows
less about the interior of the Earth than it does about the farthest
stars, and that for all we know a mystically rejuvenated Hitler may
be holding court in
the Hollow Earth, and sending forth his
vimanas
from the aperture at the South Pole to bedevil the civilization that
rejected him. But from another angle, it's significant that this
latter-day warlord has taken his place in postmodern mythology (in
myths better known in Europe than in North America) with the dark
rulers of the underworld who have reigned within the collective
psyche for lo! these many eons.
And who are the real, objective beings who cohabit with the phantoms
of the human Id, and manipulate them like pawns in a chess match?
Tradition gives us the names of all the entities mentioned in
Chapter 2, including fairies, jinns, elementals,
demons, and indeed
those devils. From this range we can see that we are not dealing
with a simple dualism of good above and evil below, but rather with
a complete spectrum -- a sliding scale of all the complexity you
would expect in a Universe full of exotic and divergent beings.
In a more generic bent, traditional cosmologies also give us a
varied nomenclature for the beings from beyond the Earth in relation
to those beneath it, referring to them respectively as supermundane
and submundane, supernal and infernal, and super-terrestrial and
subterrestrial. We shall make selective use of these names as the
need arises. For now let's just point out that these beings have
always been known in every culture, with at least a general outline
of their typology. It has remained for esoteric traditions to
transmit the details, the methodologies of communion, and the
content of the communications.
How does this whole grand map of worlds upon worlds within worlds
intersect with the UFO/ET phenomenon as it's unfolded on Earth in
the last half-century? The most rudimentary answer is that flying
saucers and space aliens constitute the outer form that the "esoterrestrials"
have adopted as the means for their interaction with humanity in the
present age.
The specifics of this interaction hinge on the complexities of the
overlapping spheres of the Tree. We can only hit some of the basic
points in this brief treatment. First of all, in our diagrams, note
that the body of the Solar World {sphere 10} coincides with the
unity sphere of the Terrestrial World (sphere 6), which is the human
heart. People who experience higher beings, whether perceived as
tall, blond space aliens, angels per se, or Beings of Light in a
near-death experience, all do so by means of an activation of their
heart chakra, generating the specific heightened mode of
consciousness which makes this contact possible.
Proceeding up the Tree, we find that the identity sphere of the
Solar beings fills the Abyss of the Earthly Tree, which explains why
humans have always (properly) looked up to these entities as Gods
and envoys of Gods. The time is rapidly approaching when we must
collectively Cross the Abyss ourselves and meet our fate; but in all
the long ages it took to prepare ourselves for this moment of
apotheosis, the divinities of our local solar system, and of Earth
as the only organic planet in it, were there to shepherd us along
the way.
All sources agree that the type of aliens most commonly encountered
are the short, big-headed, bug-eyed "Grays". Who are these
creatures, and what is their relation to humanity? It seems clear
that despite the "outer space" trappings, most of the Gray aliens,
and possibly all of them, are subterrestrials.
Within this basic categorization, the abduction literature shows a
wide range of behavior exhibited by beings who all have the general
appearance of "Gray aliens". We are probably dealing with different
types and groupings of submundane beings who all adopt the "Gray"
form (with variations) for certain reasons which I will clarify
below.
Traditional literature and folklore inform us that the sub-
terrestrials are not all bad, though some of them are pretty damn
horrid. Many of them want things from human beings, and some species
of these lower entities even seem to depend for their very existence
on the subtle substances they extract from physical creatures. They
are thereby at best symbiotes, but most of these types are probably
parasitic. And some of the worst are literal vampires, the source of
all the legends and horror tales.
At the same time, some jinns, elementals, and even demons are
reputed to be friendly and beneficial to humans. Even some of these
well-disposed types, though, often lie and deceive the humans who
come in contact with them, sometimes apparently for sheer sport; but
the grizzlier varieties attempt to practice large-scale, elaborate
deceptions on the human race, for ends that are very grievous
indeed. Almost all the types are said to be able to "cast a glamour"
upon incarnate people, to mesmerize them and make them see and
believe things that are not really there.
These attributes all have obvious relevance to the reputed actions
of the Grays and other aliens in the abduction phenomenon, but there
has never been a comprehensive matrix of knowledge in which these
matters could be fully understood and properly dealt with -- until
now.
Let's look at the Tree of Life with its lower extensions in our
diagram. Here we have a map of the attributes of the sub-
terrestrials, and of the relation of the first layer of them to
human beings. Let's see if it can tell us anything informative about
the Gray aliens.
First we note that the Body-sphere of the Telluric world ("telluric"
means "earthy" with metaphysical overtones) does not overlap the
terrestrial Tree, but is two levels below its lowest sphere. This
means that the natural bodies of the Telluric beings are not
material, but rather fall below the "wavelength" of matter, just as
the angelic superterrestrials are above it.
However, the Unity-sphere of the Telluric Tree coincides with the
Body-sphere of the Terrestrial Tree, which means that when these
beings activate their heart chakra, they can become physical -- they
can manifest temporarily in the physical world of humans, and then
cease the manifestation when their heart chakra deactivates.
Becoming physical is literally a higher experience for them, just
like the experience of mystic Oneness for a human, or even falling
in love -- these being functions of the heart chakra / Unity-sphere
in the human world.
But perhaps the most interesting thing of all in relation to the
abduction phenomenon is that the human Identity-sphere fills the
Telluric Abyss. The Identity-sphere is a sort of lower ego (the
Mercy/Severity spheres constitute the higher one, centered in the
throat chakra), the sphere of primal identity; some modern Kabbalists have associated it with the Id. Here, then, is the device
by which a given race of subterrestrials takes on a collective
identity and appearance in accordance with imagery and beliefs in
the human collective unconscious. Thus the Telluric beings today
take on the appearance of space aliens of certain types.
But is it merely an appearance? Is it all just a grand deception on
the part of parasitic beings to steal our vital energies? Or is
there also a larger process at work, guided by higher influences? I
believe there is, and that the best clues to the mystery are
provided by the experiences of abductee Betty Andreasson Luca. From
an esoteric standpoint, this is the most revelatory case ever
reported; and fortunately, it's also one of the most thoroughly
investigated and documented cases, thanks largely to the work of
Raymond E. Fowler, who led a number of teams of seasoned and
highly-credentialed investigators in exploring the case for more
than twenty years, and has to date written four books about it: The Andreasson Affair
Parts I and
II, and
The Watchers Parts I and II.
From early childhood to age thirty, Betty Luca had a number of
encounters with beings in the mold of the typical Gray aliens. Two
of these experiences involved abductions and journeys on
saucer-shaped craft; but, lest we jump to the conclusion that these
were space ships, the destination of the saucers was in both cases
underground, flying through huge caverns, one of which was reached
by first diving underwater. Both episodes culminated with Betty
having religious/spiritual experiences. One of them was the
experience of "the ONE", which as Betty described it under hypnosis
was clearly the experience of ecstatic Unity that results from a
full opening of the heart chakra. If the aliens who conducted
Betty
to this experience were indeed subterrestrials, the implication
would be that they must have been functioning at the highest peak of
development possible to their species, namely the Telluric
Crown-sphere, which coincides with the human heart-sphere. And in
fact the Gray leaders of the two "expeditions" do come across as
superior beings, giving Betty advanced metaphysical information.
Betty had more encounters after the investigation of her case was
begun. The metaphysical elements continued to be prominent,
including the occasional brief appearances of a second type of
entity: beings who looked completely human except that they were
seven feet tall; they had long blond-white hair and pale-colored
skin and eyes, and wore long white robes. In other words, the
angelic image could hardly be more striking, especially in light of
the fact that Betty is a Christian. She calls these beings the
Elders.
At length there came a point, as reported in the latest of Fowler's
four books, The Watchers II, when the Elders seemed to completely
take over Betty's encounters. The Grays arrived again and took her
off in a saucer, but now for the first time it flew into outer
space, where it docked with a huge cylindrical mothership. This was
the domain of the Elders, who apparently commanded the Grays in a
symbiotic relationship. This journey climaxed for Betty in another
ecstatic experience of the ONE, this time accompanied by an Elder
and a Gray; the latter was evidently under the tutelage of the
Elder, as was Betty.
In some of her earlier abductions, Betty was forced to undergo
invasive procedures by the Grays, one of them involving an apparent
implant behind her eyeball. She was not, however, implanted with
fetuses nor used in any way in the alien "hybridization project",
and she bore and raised seven healthy children in her normal
terrestrial life. Nevertheless, in one of her abductions the Grays
made her witness the taking of two fetuses from a fellow female
abductee, and then shown the process by which such fetuses were
technologically altered to grow into adult Grays. The implication
was not so much a hybridization of human and Gray, but rather that
this was the normal method of Gray reproduction, which would seem to
make their species totally parasitic on humanity.
The mystery of the Andreasson case is why such apparent alien
skullduggery is carried on under the auspices of the Elders, who in
The Watchers II are portrayed as discharging unmistakable angelic
and benevolent functions, not only in relation to Betty but to other
people whom they invisibly visit upon the Earth. What higher purpose
could possibly be served by this macabre process of making Grays
from humans?
Still assuming that there is some type of hybridization aspect to
it, we note that in many other reports Gray aliens often explain
this "project" by telling the abductees that the human race is
destined for imminent extinction by one means or another, and that
the aliens are thereby "preserving the human seed" which might
sprout again in some future existence. In Betty's case, the Grays
told her that the human species is becoming sterile. What are we to
make of such claims?
Here we must refer back to the pattern of meta-evolution revealed in
the Theosophical conception of Rounds and root-races. Every previous
root-race degenerated into a dead end after the fifth sub-race. To
all sensitive eyes, it's clear that the present human species has
become extremely degenerate, and that the trends toward increased
computerized globalization and genetic engineering will only
exacerbate the tendency. Trapped in its materialistic blindness,
guided by the diabolic religion of scientism, the species will
attempt to transcend itself by artificially selecting for vastly
augmented rationalistic intelligence, to the point of incubating
giant brains independent of bodies. Such pathological plans are
already popular amongst people who actually have some rank and power
in the current Cryptocracy.
The interesting thing about the Grays is that they are the epitome
of the science fictional and computer-nerd notion of an evolutionary
"advance" in which the brain increases while the rest of the body
diminishes. In reality, this is the formula for devolution into a
dead-end sub-race. But even though the physical human race may be
degenerating and devolving, the subterrestrial race of Grays may be
advancing and evolving. i.e., we're going down while they're coming
up, and the literal hybridization may be the precise moment when the
two species complete their overlap with full integration and fusion.
Some abductees claim to have developed a spiritual relationship with
the Grays, and desire just such an outcome. They say that they want
their babies to have alien souls. And evidently the aliens want
their babies to have physical human bodies!
Such a melding of entities from two different worlds may be
possible, though we don't know for sure what the outcome might be.
The Grayification of humanity certainly seems to be making great
progress. Before I ever became conversant with the alien abduction
phenomenon, my observation of present-day people was that they were
turning into what I called "humatons": pallid creatures with no
primal force, little or no sexual polarization, and no true
individuality despite the great cultural shibboleth of
individualism. Robot-like, they move through their days in the
irresistible ebb and flow of a mechanoid, soulless civilization,
gray little entities in the postmodern hive.
On the other hand, physical humanity may be totally annihilated in
the apocalyptic transition, as predicted by some of the aliens. Thus
whatever amalgam had occurred between human and Gray would continue
to exist after that point only in the subterrestrial world. This
would explain where the human seed and remnant of its substance
would be preserved, and why it seems like the "hybridization" is
mainly a matter of turning humans into Grays.
Whatever form such a transition may take, it's surely tragic from a
human standpoint. If higher beings from the superterrestrial worlds
are presiding over the process, there must be a dharma or destiny
involved, though this be dark indeed: modern humanity has evidently
doomed itself so deeply that even the angels can do no better than
to pick up a few scattered pieces and preserve them in a baser form.
But what, then, of the Elect who will Cross the Abyss and spawn the
true evolutionary advance, the sixth root-race? Will they not also
be assisted by higher beings, the angelic/deific entities of the
Solar World? The Elders encountered by Betty Luca clearly appear to
be just such beings. But, as indicated above, they seem to be
occupied with a project that may be an evolutionary advance for the
Grays, but for the human race it's damage control, salvage, and
ultimate devolution, if not outright destruction. This impression is
reinforced by another incident in which Betty was given a message by
the aliens stating that the very people who could become the Elect
are wandering in the Abyss.
And this is the key: they can't just step in and save us --
we have
to take the initiative on our own behalf.
This is not some arbitrary edict or abstract moral law. The very
nature of the transition requires that the evolving beings work
certain things out on their own initiative, and develop certain new
powers by their own efforts. Parents can stand on the sidelines and
coax the toddler to walk, and reinforce and reward his efforts, but
he has to finally take those first steps himself. There's no other
way.
And indeed, the situation may not be as dark as it seems, for there
are many advanced people, potential Elect, who know this. Some of
them may already have begun the Great Work that can lead to species
transmutation.
The patterns and dynamics of the Tree of Life have much to tell us
about how to achieve this. I explained above how the past relations
of humans to their Gods hinged on the Solar Identity- sphere filling
the human Abyss. The images, names, and presences of these Solar
Gods were above us, and outside of us; we looked up to them from our
station below
the Abyss, and worshipped them. But now, for
those
Elect who Cross the Abyss, this entire relationship will change. We
will have taken the first but definitive step toward what was once
called hypostasis, the presence of God in Terrestrial, physical
form. This is the whole purpose of the entire Earth Round: to
accomplish the hypostatic incarnation of the Godmind in physical
matter.
From our new position Across the Abyss, holding the Star of Life in
one hand and the Deathstar in the other, we will open our Third Eye
and look upon the Gods, and find them now to be creatures akin to
ourselves. This, too, will be relative, for they will still be a
notch above us, still wiser and more powerful; and yet we will have
attained a degree of peership with them. Instead of omnipotent,
unknowable, transcendent creatures of awe and glory, they will look
more like ... well, like Betty's Elders. Like angelic space aliens.
These are the Solar Gods as seen with the Third Eye.
And yet now we will have the power to see God in a greater layer.
Above the Third Eye there is still the Crown of our own Terrestrial
Tree, and it coincides not only with the golden heart of our olden
Solar deities, but with the Body of a being who is a very God even
unto them: the resplendent Godmind as it manifests in the greater
world of the Galaxy. Until we attain the Crown in the final root-race and complete the hypostatic union, this
Galactic God will be
beyond us, visible to the Third Eye and yet outside. And thus we
will be spared the error of hubris, for at the very moment when we
realize our own godhood -- in relation to our formerly all-too-human state -- we will discover these vaster expanses of
Supernal
life stretching out above us, ultimately to the true Universal God
at the very top of the Tree, the veritable Crown of all Creation.
