We hear part two of the Walk Among Us show originally broadcast nine years ago. I was reading a UFO Universe magazine dated July 1990. This issue is full of great articles, the cover just detached the other day unfortunately. One of the articles, not in the table of contents strangely, is titled A Nightmare World of Shadow Creatures Exists All Around Us: UFOs and Altered States by Ian Blake.
Blake describes the literary influence author Carlos Castenada had on the consciousness movement of the 1960s and counter culture to this day. He references the parallels of Castenada’s work with Fortean lore, specifically in the book A Separate Reality where Castenada returns to his car after planting herbs in the desert. When he returns to his car, he finds 3 Mexicans waiting for him. The first of these is a dark haired man in his late 30s carrying a bundle on his back. The second is a younger man, the third is a woman in her 40s, overweight in tight fitting clothes, beads of sweat collecting on her face. They ask Castenada for a ride, he says there’s not enough room in the backseat. In short, they persist and make him feel uneasy. Eventually Castenada manages to drive off without a major scene. He later explains the incident to the brujo don Juan Matus.
“Those are not people, they were forces, says don Juan, neither good nor bad, just forces that a brujo learns to harness.” He refers to them as sorcerer’s allies. “They can, he continues, assume any size or shape as the situation demands. The only way to detect their presence is by the process of ‘seeing with the inner eye.’ Real people look like luminous eggs when you ‘see’ them. Non-people always look like people. You cannot ‘see’ an ally. They take different forms, dogs coyotes, birds even tumbleweeds or anything else.”
If don Juan is to be believed writes Ian Blake, these strange mimetic creatures, the allies exist all around us. In common with many UFO related phenomena, they are able to mold themselves to suit the cultural beliefs of the year or milieu in which they appear. The allies may have been here long before us. It seems they can’t exert a direct influence on the affairs of mankind. John Keel’s book Operation Trojan Horse is referenced “. . .these entities seem to require a source of energy, a fire, or a living thing-a plant, a tree, a human medium or contactee.” And again”. . . they need to drain off energy from human percipients or from power lines and automobile engines.” Back to Castenada’s book The Fire From Within – “Animal fear is what attracts them the most; it releases a kind of energy that suits them.” says don Juan and he adds “Once an ally catches you, you either have a heart attack and die or you wrestle with it. Then, after a moment of thrashing around in sham ferocity the ally’s energy wants. There is nothing an ally can do to us or vice versa. We are separated by an abyss.
Original introduction:
We get into part two of They Walk Among Us series. In the first episode we heard parts of interviews from science fiction writer Ray Nelson, Dr. John Hall, Bonnie Jean Mitchell and John Mitchell, author Laura Knight-Jadczyk Richard Bruce and referenced the short story Ten O’Clock People. In that line up it we looked closely at the various literary tools and real-life properties such as drugs and hypnosis that were accidental catalysts, a type of trigger to shift the human perspective allowing one to see through the interloper’s masquerade. It certainly is a masquerade by the word’s definition “pretending to be someone one you’re not.” There are many forms the beings can take within the concept of “they walk among us” such as the being is partially souled, or possessed, or a clone, a doppelganger an android or a non-human wearing the liquid crystal human suit. It’s clear to some that the invasion has happened and now the human race is slowly and unwittingly being enslaved within a dystopian surveillance society that promises security and convenience.
We continue to look back at several interviews that all reference a type of silent invasion within the human race with past guests author Andrew Hennessey, radio host Sherry Shriner, author Carissa Conti and Mark Passio. Keep in mind while you hear the voices of these past guests that this content is usually relegated to the genre of paranoid fiction. Meanwhile, the grounded psychological conditions such as shadow projection and psychopathy will be factored in.
