The Human
Alien:
Understanding the consciousness as a
means to
reduce negative human behavior
Nelson Correia Abreu
ABSTRACT
The author reflects on the potential of Conscientiology to
reduce negative human behavior by allowing individuals to directly and scientifically
identify a common, multidimensional, multi-existential, continuously-evolving
human essence and the irrationality of negative manifestation. The essay also recommends the
dissemination of Conscientiology through intellectually-courageous news
magazines and large, diverse universities.
It is no surprise to read that the human race has had
serious ethical and behavioral difficulties. It has become very clear to
those with knowledge of Conscientiology and Projectiology that our negative behavior
and emotions are largely a result of the ignorance of our nature and of the
dynamics of life. While we attempt to detect extraterrestrial beings,
virtually all humans continue to be essentially alien to themselves.
We must
recognize that this problem transcends religious matters and concerns every
single human being. We must also identify the roots of what drives us to
be so violent when we are born so gentle; be so cold when we have such a rare
and incomparable smile; hurt and destroy when we possess an incredible
potential to love and create.
First, let
us recognize that everyone attempts or at least wishes to lead a happy and
meaningful life. We must also realize that only very few on Earth know
much about the nature, essence, and purpose of each person, life and the
universe. This universal longing and this shared ignorance leave only
wisdom and belief as a barrier between positive and negative behavior.
It is
widely accepted that behavior such as prejudice is a trait generally belonging
to the ignorant. However, we must admit that an overwhelming portion of
the Earth’s population does not know who we are, what we are, where we come
from, why we exist, where we go after our body dies, and other such millennial
enigmas. In spite of this, we have deeply embedded in our hearts a sort
of universal common sense of good and bad, positive and negative.
Some may
argue that this feeling is absent in those who are judged as “bad”
people. It is very easy, perhaps satisfying, and definitely hypocritical
to make such an assumption. Are we to conclude next that some babies are
evil and others are good?
Except for those
with certain serious mental disabilities, humans are born with the potential to
dedicate themselves to positive or negative causes. In the absence of solid
knowledge of our existence and essence, many of us seek happiness and a purpose
in perverse or superficial ways. There are also those who cannot find a
purpose to live what so ever and take supposed refuge in addictive substances,
life-threatening activities or even suicide.
The individuals
whose lives are centered upon negative behavior suffer greatly because they are
lost and cannot find their way to happiness, because their actions remain
deeply registered in their hearts. Similar to Newton’s law of action and
reaction, we hurt ourselves when we hurt someone else.
Many of those who
are fortunate to lead a mostly positive life are too busy to help the lost and
simply point fingers at them. But very few realize that regardless of how
mean, greedy, violent, or deceitful one’s behavior is, we are all attempting to
find happiness and a satisfying task one way or another. Some do dedicate
themselves to helping the lost and the miseducated, but it is a difficult task
because it usually involves convincing others of something without them
directly experiencing it.
The best solution
is to first find each other and ourselves by gaining knowledge about the
consciousness (a.k.a. ego, inner self, intelligence and individuality
principle, soul, spirit). The reader may argue that it is not possible to
obtain the knowledge that has been aforementioned. After all, there have never
been direct means of studying the nature, essence, purpose, and existence of
the consciousness. This has been attempted throughout history and a sign
of the failure of this effort is the creation of the different belief systems.
However, in the
last decades of this millennium, researchers have finally discovered the
technology to uncover age-old mysteries and enable us to objectively study the
extraphysical universe and the consciousness. In fact, we have always
possessed these tools, which are innate human abilities. The tools used
by Conscientiology and Projectiology (C&P), new sciences that study the
consciousness, include the conscious projection or OBE (out-of-body experience)
and bioenergy (chi, prana, vital energy) control and manipulation.
The conscious
projection allows us to access information about our past existence, our
evolutionary process, and the “road map” we set ourselves for our current
life. With this information humans can live more focused on their task,
their evolution and consequently feel more fulfilled. It also contributes
to a better understanding of the impact of our thoughts, sentiments,
intentions, energy and actions on others and on ourselves.
Negative behavior
often occurs as a result of frustration, childhood problems, or lack of
direction, hope or knowledge. A clearer perspective and greater
discernment shows that we are all souls with a common goal and a common
evolutionary path and that we can gradually move away from negative behavior.
This greater
perspective offers a sense of concrete direction, purpose, and identity that
will gradually reduce negative behavior because more humans will finally know
that compassion, altruism, peace, love, and wisdom-seeking catalyze our
consciential evolution and contribute to our happiness.
Our reaction to negative manifestation
is likely to change as well.
Holomemory (the recollection of all our experiences through a series of
existences) shows that even the most pious consciousnesses have committed
terrible acts that would shock them today. Rather than maintaining the usual social dichotomy between
the “good” and the “bad,” we will recognize “brothers and sisters” at different
stages of consciential evolution.
By identifying ourselves even with the
most disturbed consciousnesses, a stronger universal bond among humans should
develop that will allow clarification and assistance to dominate over revenge,
hypocritical finger-pointing, and isolation. Consequently, judicial systems may undergo profound
changes. Perhaps our prisons will
change into a sort of school and care center, and capital punishment will be discontinued.
Our present
concern should be making this knowledge available to the world.
Conscientiology and Projectiology, the sciences that study the consciousness
and the conscious projection (out-of-body experience, OBE), do not fit the
300-year-old “materialist-reductionist-newtonian-cartesian-physicalist
paradigm” of science that assumes that the source of our intelligence and
identity is physical - DNA, the brain. It is clear to those who have
experienced the conscious projection that the consciousness transcends the
common parameters of physical energy (matter) and that our address is
extraphysical. This knowledge can be obtained directly by the individual
through objective observations made during OBEs.
Out-of-body
experiences – lucid or, more commonly, unconscious – occur every night when the
soma (physical body) is in a state of non-alignment with the psychosoma
(non-physical body). The OBE has been linked to mysticism throughout the
ages because it could not be scientifically explained. Today, with enough
effort, courage, determination, and perseverance, it can be experienced and
understood. However, in order for the concepts of multidimensional
reality and extraphysical consciousnesses to be accepted, an epistemological
enhancement is inevitable.
Many arguments
that can be made against the credibility and reality of the conscious
projection, but none can survive the overwhelming evidence gathered by
researchers from all over the world, including Sweden, Brazil, the USA, and the
UK. These include Charles Tart, Janet Lee Mitchell, Robert L. Morris,
Rick Stack, Robert Monroe (Monroe Institute), Michael Grosso, Waldo Vieira
(International Institute of Projectiology & Conscientiology), Wagner Borges
(IPPB, Institute of Projective and Bionergetic Research, Rio de Janeiro),
William Buhlman, Geraldo Medeiros Jr, and Robert Peterson. Now, we
need to make these techniques known to the general public so that everyone is
given the opportunity to access this potentially life-changing information about
the individual, humankind and the universe.
It is very
important though, that conscientiology and projectiology are not confused with
faith, mysticism, or esoteric practices as the out-of-body experience has been
through history. Historic records and scientific studies demonstrate that
these experiences occur to individuals independent of their culture, religion,
credo, age, sex, and socio-economic condition. Consequently, it is time
to begin to undo the age-old myths and misconceptions that have kept most of
humanity ignorant on this issue. It is time to advance and disseminate
these critical scientific studies to gradually expand human maturity and
self-awareness.
In 2000, several provocative,
non-conventional articles exploring issues greatly related to conscientiology
research have been published in leading news magazines such as US News &
World Report and Time.
These include articles on consciousness research, animal emotions, and
modern concepts about hell.
However, Conscientiology has not been mentioned, yet. After being introduced to
Conscientiology and its possible applications and effects, the editors and
science-and-technology reporters of these pioneering magazines are likely to
publish articles about it.
Research institutions and individuals
can educate the people about this direct, personal experience that replaces or
clarifies belief with direct knowledge.
The integration of conscientiology and projectiology into the university
environment seems like an efficient dissemination strategy. Universities may provide a favorable
combination of experienced, conventional scientists and large, eclectic
populations of more-open-minded students who reside in great proximity. Students of various interests can
discuss and investigate the sciences and pioneering professor-researchers can
apply conscientiology to their studies and produce landmark results. After the integration of
Conscientiology in universities’ education and research programs,
Conscientiology could be thought in high schools just as physics and
chemistry. With mounting
scientific and technological results and increasing youth awareness a new human
culture will emerge.
It is important
to realize that this process will probably take a long time to become a significant
movement, depending on the effort and effectiveness of its pioneers in face of
various challenges. Even when this knowledge becomes common, no one
should expect life to be “perfect”. Life is likely to be happier and more
positive, but as long as there are mistakes to be learned from and
contributions to be made there will be a reason to live on Earth. What we
generally consider “a perfect world” does not need, include, or benefit the
imperfect human being.
The consciential
renaissance has begun to push the physical limits of human knowledge all over
the world. It is now only a matter of time for humankind to open its eyes
to the beauty and benefits of the extraphysical universe where we all
reside. Now, more than ever, every individual has the opportunity to be
in the cutting-edge of human exploration. The consciousness and the
extraphysical universe are the ultimate frontiers.
