Saturday Matinee: Paranormal Rangers

I'm pining away for the next season of Dark Winds to come out on DVD.

Essentially, when the Library gets it I get it. 

Not that Dark Winds is a paranormal show. I just wish it were from time to time. I guess you could say it has a paranormal subplot. Subsections of Supreme. Fox Mulder writes a few episodes.

Actually, the Navajo had a big part in the X-Files.  

Maybe Jim Chee branches off into a Ranger Series one day.

But if you miss the days Dark Winds went the paranormal route, the Paranormal Rangers may fit into a rewatch binge.

Strange New Worlds Season 3: Vintage Trek With a Few Stunt Pulls

Season 3 Fair Use Image

 

Strange New Worlds Season 3 is better the second half of the season.

The first half is a bit hamstrung by experimentation. SNW is becoming famous for stunt episodes. 

Don't get me wrong. Arguably, some of the best episodes in Star Trek History are "stunt episodes". Mirror Mirror, A Piece of the Action, even City on the Edge of Forever.

But with Strange New Worlds it seems more like "stretching the actor" exercises. As though the cast are all going for their MFAs. The old school term was "Term Paper Acting".

It is OK to deliberately stretch the actors if it is character driven, story driven, and moves the sticks in plotting. 

For instance, Uhura is famous for her vocal prowess. It is in her character DNA to sing. It makes sense for her to belt out some tunes. Especially on a ship with no Holodec . . . yet.  

Celia Rose Gooding is giantly talented in that regard. I'm hoping she'll do a rendition of Impossible Dream or Silent Lucidity. 

And there's apparently an upcoming Puppet Episode in store for Season 4. 

Gulp.

There are other items of somewhat dubious overreach. 

Spock appears to be doing a Kinsey Study of Human Sexuality. He apparently intends on sleeping with everybody onboard the Enterprise. That honors Leonard Nimoy's Sixties sex symbol status. But could he really be appealing enough to max the Enterprise out as far as hooking up goes?

Though I admit I thought initially Spock and Una would be an item. But Una has eyes for another Vulcan. 

Uhura does get a love life in Season 3. And her significant other has a central role in one of the "stunts" that succeeds. The Documentary Episode. 

There is no indication Scotty and/or Spock will ever be notches on her lipstick case.  

Erica doesn't get a love life. But she gets top billing in the best episode of Season 3. In the which a Species of Q-Continuum level arrogance makes its debut. 

It is a fine homage to the old school "stunt" of having an advanced race test the character of Federation officers. Though Erica doesn't think much of her Examiners' character. 

Certain heavy duty questions remain unpacked for Strange New Worlds. Elephants in the room.

Such as does Christopher Pike ever get to have a life? Or is he just a walking dead man?

What are they going to do about Khan, if anything? Is he permanently marooned in Section 31? Is anyone ever going to air him out? The Dictator who never happened? The War Crimes that never existed? 

Is he the Dictator on the Edge of Forever? A job for the Guardian of Forever? Did he really mess with Klingon DNA?

Is Sybok ever to return?  

Is Christine Chapel to be a permanent second banana in Sick Bay? Or does Medical Archaeology offer her a niche where she is the boss? Or does the Glass Ceiling still exist in the far future?

What becomes of M'Benga when McCoy shows up? And does McCoy ever meet his comic soul mate--Jet Reno?

When does Roger Korby become an android? Is Ruk ever going to show up? 

The Old Ones. The ones who made us. 

Where are Sulu and Chekov? 

SNW has the tone right. Tone is apparently hard to do in contemporary Treksploitation. 

Somebody once said, for instance, that Star Trek: The Next Generation was Mall of America in Space. I had a hard time getting that image out of my head. 

I guess it was the Carpeting of the Enterprise Bridge. And the architecture. Was Worf Weapons Officer or was he serving Starbucks? 

The place never got dirty. Never got scorched. Wires never hung out. Nothing was jury-rigged. There was no bubble gum under the desk. No silly putty holding the Jefferies Tube together.

In the Old Days, Scotty always had a dirty face and greasy fingers and scorching on the fringes of his uniform. 

Strange New Worlds has the look, feel, and sound of the Original Series. People do get dirty. Get sick and die. They get banged up. Fried. Tossed like salads. Suffer bad hair days. 

In Pike's case, bad hair eternities. (All right. I know. Not fair. Everybody piles on Pike's hair.) 

At times the stories are true to the soul of Star Trek. 

If you subtract the academic exercises, the MFA dissertations, it is authentic Star Trek.

Zeroed in. Character driven. Vintage Star Trek Stories.

It doesn't seem like it. It seems he was serious about "hiding in plain sight". 

Like he . . . was embarrassed by being involved in the project. 

Or he took the material seriously and was so paranoid about being recognized he cobbled together pretty ridiculous disguises.

Obituary — Dr. Hendrik V. Bosch, 58

Dr. Hendrik V. Bosch

Published in the Boulder County Herald 21 April

Dr. Hendrik V. Bosch, a researcher known for his work in perceptual studies and sleep-state cognition, died unexpectedly on Monday at his residence in Boulder. He was 58.

Dr. Bosch served as Director of the Experiential Cognition Initiative at the Bosch Institute for Consciousness Studies, where he led several projects examining the boundary between waking perception and dream-state experience. His colleagues described him as “methodical,” “reserved,” and “deeply committed to understanding the architecture of human awareness.”

Born in Utrecht, the Netherlands, Dr. Bosch earned his doctorate in cognitive phenomenology before relocating to Colorado in the early 2000s. He published widely in academic journals, focusing on liminal perception, sleep-state stability, and the phenomenology of nocturnal imagery. His work was regarded as both innovative and controversial, attracting interest from a number of research organizations.

In recent years, Dr. Bosch collaborated with several external agencies on studies involving sleep-state environments and perceptual coherence. Details of these projects were not publicly disclosed.

Dr. Bosch is survived by a sister, Marijke Bosch, of Rotterdam. A private memorial service will be held later this month.

The Bosch Institute issued a brief statement on Tuesday noting that “Dr. Bosch’s contributions to the study of human perception will continue to influence the field for years to come.”

No further information regarding the circumstances of his death was available.

Bosch’s Reply — “On the Limits of Synchrony”

Bosch Institute for Consciousness Studies Experiential Cognition Initiative External Communication — Tier A Vendor Channel

From: Dr. H. V. Bosch Director, Experiential Cognition Initiative

To: Dr. Lysa Harrow Director, REM History Division Kernau War Marketing Institute

Date: 17 April

Subject: Re: Request for Motor Synchrony Lock Specifications

I. Opening Remarks

Dr. Harrow,

Thank you for your detailed inquiry. I appreciate the clarity of your questions and the rigor of your division’s review. I will address each point directly.

II. On Motor Synchrony

The synchrony interval you reference is not extendable.

It is not a proto‑state. It is not a partial embodiment. It is not a controllable mechanism.

It is a boundary condition.

Synchrony occurs only at the moment when internally generated phenomenology and external motor intention briefly overlap. This overlap is unstable by definition. It cannot be prolonged, directed, or locked.

Any attempt to extend synchrony will result in collapse.

III. On Collapse

The collapse is not a failure.

It is the nervous system reasserting primacy. It is the restoration of perceptual boundaries. It is the safeguard against dissociation.

Collapse is instantaneous, universal, and non-negotiable.

It cannot be prevented. It cannot be delayed. It cannot be bypassed.

Collapse is the limit.

IV. On REM Disinhibition

REM paralysis is not an obstacle. It is a protection.

Disinhibition would not extend synchrony. It would not stabilize the figure. It would not enable embodiment.

It would produce:

• motor confusion

• perceptual fragmentation

• destabilized phenomenology

• increased divergence

The figure would not become more coherent. The subject would not become more compliant.

The corridor would break.

V. On Entity Substitution

The figure’s geometry is not modifiable.

Its orientation is not adjustable. Its symbolic content is not programmable. Its silhouette is not a template.

The figure is not an archetype. It is not a cultural construct. It is not a narrative vehicle.

It is a constant — a perceptual invariant produced by the nervous system under specific conditions.

Entity substitution is not possible.

VI. On Somatic Externalization

The figure is not an externalized part of the self.

It is not a projection. It is not a dissociated motor schema. It is not a poltergeist analogue.

The experiencer does not become the figure. The figure does not become the experiencer.

Somatic externalization is not supported by any data.

VII. On Divergence

Subject 23’s divergence is not instability.

It is the nervous system resisting substitution. It is the corridor protecting itself. It is the boundary reasserting shape.

Divergence is not a failure of the figure. It is a failure of the attempt to modify it.

VIII. On Cultural Narrative Integration

The figure cannot be rescripted into an alien being.

It cannot support abduction choreography. It cannot corroborate extraterrestrial narratives. It cannot be standardized for population-level deployment.

The figure is not a tool. The figure is not a puppet. The figure is not yours.

IX. Closing Remarks

Dr. Harrow, I appreciate your interest in my work. However, the Experiential Cognition Initiative cannot support REM disinhibition, entity substitution, synchrony lock, somatic externalization, or any related protocols.

The limits of synchrony are absolute.

Respectfully,  

Dr. H. V. Bosch 

Director, Experiential Cognition Initiative Bosch Institute for Consciousness Studies

The Night Terror is a perceptual invariant? There are no perceptual invariants. What he thinks he's offering is a moral argument. In reality he's protecting his patent. Protecting his "Experience Factory".

Internal Memo — “Concerns Regarding Kernau Integration”

Halcyon Field Services Operational Risk Division Internal Communication — Tier B Contractor Channel

From: Elias R. Kincannon Senior Liaison, Halcyon Field Services

To: Dr. H. V. Bosch Director, Experiential Cognition Initiative

CC: Halcyon Operational Risk Division Halcyon Clinical Oversight Team

Date: 14 April

Subject: Operational Concerns Regarding Kernau War Marketing Institute Requests

I. Overview

Dr. Bosch,

Following Kernau’s recent correspondence with your Institute, Halcyon Field Services has conducted an internal review of the logistical and ethical implications associated with their requested Phase II integrations. This memo summarizes our concerns and outlines several points requiring clarification before Halcyon can continue providing support.

Our role is operational, not theoretical. We do not evaluate research aims. We evaluate feasibility, safety, and risk.

Kernau’s requests raise all three.

II. REM Disinhibition Protocols

Kernau’s inquiry references “REM disinhibition,” which they describe as a temporary suspension of the paralysis mechanism associated with REM sleep. We note that:

• Halcyon has no protocols for REM-state motor activation

• Halcyon is not licensed to support interventions affecting sleep paralysis

• Halcyon cannot guarantee subject safety under disinhibited REM conditions

We request confirmation that your Initiative does not intend to pursue REM disinhibition as part of Phase II.

III. Entity Substitution and Imagery Rescripting

Kernau’s interest in “Entity Substitution” — specifically, replacing culturally embedded parasomnia figures with alternative silhouettes — falls outside Halcyon’s operational scope.

We cannot support:

• nightmare rescripting involving trauma-derived parasomnias

• imagery replacement targeting fear-based archetypes

• symbolic reconfiguration of sleep paralysis entities

Our clinical oversight team flagged these requests as “high-risk, high-instability, and outside contractor purview.”

We request confirmation that your Initiative does not intend to pursue Entity Substitution.

IV. Motor Synchrony Lock

Kernau’s terminology suggests they believe the synchrony interval documented in your case files can be:

• extended

• stabilized

• directed

• embodied

Halcyon cannot support any protocol involving:

• REM-state motor enactment

• parasomnia-induced movement

• subject mirroring of perceived entities

• attempts to prevent collapse

Our risk division notes that Motor Synchrony Lock, as described by Kernau, would require conditions that Halcyon cannot safely implement.

We request confirmation that your Initiative does not intend to pursue Motor Synchrony Lock.

V. Somatic Externalization Hypothesis

Kernau’s memo references “Somatic Externalization,” which they define as the experiencer “becoming the projection.” While we understand this is theoretical, Halcyon cannot support any protocol that:

• encourages embodiment of perceptual constructs

• destabilizes subject identity

• leverages trauma-derived parasomnias

• induces dissociative motor states

We request confirmation that your Initiative does not intend to pursue Somatic Externalization.

VI. Divergence in Subject 23

Our clinical oversight team reviewed the case file for Subject 23. The divergence noted — specifically the altered orientation of the figure, delayed collapse, and mild fear response — suggests instability in the phenomenological corridor.

Halcyon cannot support Phase II scaling until:

• divergence risk is assessed

• corridor stability is confirmed

• collapse timing is understood

• synchrony variance is documented

We request updated analysis before proceeding.

VII. Closing Remarks

Dr. Bosch, Halcyon remains committed to supporting the Experiential Cognition Initiative. However, Kernau’s requests exceed our operational capacity and raise significant safety concerns.

Before we continue Phase II preparations, we require:

• written confirmation of your Initiative’s boundaries

• clarification of your position regarding Kernau’s requests

• assurance that Halcyon will not be asked to support disinhibition, substitution, synchrony lock, or externalization protocols

We appreciate your attention to these matters and await your guidance.

Respectfully,  

Elias R. Kincannon 

Senior Liaison Halcyon Field Services

REM History Division Inquiry — “Request for Motor Synchrony Lock Specifications”

Kernau War Marketing Institute 

History Management Directorate  

REM History Division — Boulder, Colorado External Communication — Tier A Research Liaison

From: Dr. Lysa Harrow Director, REM History Division Kernau War Marketing Institute

To: Dr. H. V. Bosch Director, Experiential Cognition Initiative Bosch Institute for Consciousness Studies

Date: 12 April

Subject: Request for Motor Synchrony Lock Specifications — Phase II Integration

I. Opening Remarks

Dr. Bosch,

The REM History Division has completed its preliminary review of your Phase I phenomenological data. We find your work promising, elegant, and unusually compatible with our ongoing research into REM‑state cultural engineering.

Your documentation of the figure, the collapse phenomenon, and the motor synchrony interval aligns closely with several theoretical models currently under development within our division.

We believe your findings may be applicable to our Somatic Externalization Initiative, pending clarification of several technical points.

II. Motor Synchrony Interval

Your case files describe a momentary period during which the subject’s motor system and the perceived figure exhibit perfect synchrony. We request detailed specifications regarding:

• duration of synchrony

• variance across subjects

• sensory thresholds

• induction conditions

• collapse timing

Our analysts believe this interval may represent a proto‑state of Motor Synchrony Lock, defined in our internal literature as:

“A parasomnia-induced condition in which the experiencer’s motor system mirrors the actions of an externalized perceptual construct.”

We seek confirmation that the synchrony is not merely reactive, but potentially extendable.

III. REM Disinhibition Considerations

Our division is exploring REM disinhibition protocols designed to temporarily suspend the paralysis mechanism that prevents motor enactment during REM sleep.

We request your assessment of whether:

1. the collapse phenomenon is tied to REM paralysis

2. synchrony could persist if paralysis were lifted

3. the figure’s perceptual stability would be maintained during disinhibition

Our interest is strictly theoretical at this stage.

IV. Entity Substitution Potential

Your documentation of the figure’s perceptual coherence suggests it may serve as a template for Entity Substitution, a process in which culturally embedded parasomnia archetypes (e.g., the Old Hag) are replaced with alternative perceptual constructs.

We request clarification on:

• whether the figure’s geometry is modifiable

• whether its orientation can be altered

• whether its symbolic content can be adjusted

• whether subjects can be guided to perceive variant silhouettes

Our division is currently modeling the feasibility of Alien Culture Indoctrination via REM-state imagery rescripting.

V. Somatic Externalization Hypothesis

Several parapsychological models propose that intense psychoactive states may externalize dissociated motor intention into the environment. While we do not endorse these models, we note that your synchrony data resembles the early stages of Somatic Externalization, defined internally as:

“The experiencer becoming the projection.”

We request your perspective on whether:

• the figure may represent an externalized motor schema

• synchrony reflects partial embodiment

• collapse indicates failure of embodiment

• divergence (as seen in Subject 23) suggests instability in externalization

This information is essential for our predictive modeling.

VI. Cultural Narrative Integration

The REM History Division is tasked with developing phenomenological support for emergent cultural narratives. Your work may assist in generating experiential corroboration for extraterrestrial encounter frameworks, which remain of interest to several clients.

We request your assessment of whether:

• the figure can be rescripted into an “alien being”

• motor synchrony can be aligned with abduction choreography

• REM-state imagery can be standardized across subjects

• phenomenological convergence can be scaled to population-level cohorts

Our interest is in narrative stability, not literal interpretation.

VII. Closing Request

To proceed with Phase II integration, we require:

• Motor Synchrony Lock specifications

• collapse mechanism analysis

• REM disinhibition feasibility

• entity substitution parameters

• divergence risk assessment

• figure geometry documentation

We appreciate your cooperation and look forward to your response.

Respectfully,  

Dr. Lysa Harrow 

Director, REM History Division

Case File — Subject 23

Bosch Institute for Consciousness Studies Experiential Cognition Initiative Internal Document — Restricted Circulation

Subject ID: 23 Date of Intake: 9 April Clinician of Record: Dr. H. V. Bosch Session Duration: 61 minutes Classification: Experiencer (Tier I — Anomalous)

I. Presenting Concern

Subject 23 reports a nocturnal perceptual event occurring during the sleep‑wake boundary period. The subject describes the event as “real enough to touch,” “located,” and “not mine.”

The subject denies dream content.

The subject states: “It was there, but it wasn’t the same.”

II. Phenomenological Description

The subject reports the appearance of a figure positioned at the foot of the bed. The description aligns with prior experiencer reports in several respects:

• Height: “Human height”

• Proportions: “Normal, I guess”

• Depth: “I could tell how far away it was”

• Presence: “It occupied space”

However, the subject notes a deviation:

“It was turned slightly. Not facing me.”

Clinician note: This is the first reported deviation in figure orientation.

III. Motor-Sensory Interaction

The subject attempted to move during the event. Movement was initially restricted (“like my limbs were remembering themselves”), followed by abrupt restoration of motor control.

Upon movement, the subject observed:

• The figure did not move in synchrony.

• The figure remained still.

• The disappearance occurred after a delay of approximately 0.8 seconds.

The subject describes this moment as “the hesitation.”

Clinician note: This is the first reported deviation in collapse timing and synchrony.

IV. Emotional Tone

The subject reports:

• mild fear

• heightened alertness

• absence of panic

• sense of “being observed”

The subject describes the event as:

“It wasn’t neutral. It felt… aware.”

Clinician note: This is the first reported deviation in emotional neutrality.

V. Cognitive Interpretation

The subject rejects conventional explanations:

• not a dream

• not imagination

• not sleep paralysis

However, unlike prior subjects, the subject does not assert experiential truth with confidence.

The subject states:

“It was real, but not the same real.”

Clinician note: This phrasing suggests partial destabilization of the crossover threshold.

VI. Pattern Consistency and Deviation

Consistent with prior experiencer reports:

• foot-of-the-bed positioning

• human-adjacent proportions

• spatial stability

• disappearance following motor restoration

Deviations include:

• figure orientation (turned slightly)

• absence of motor-synchrony

• delayed collapse

• emotional tone (mild fear)

• altered cognitive framing

Clinician note: This is the first instance of structured divergence within Tier I.

VII. Recommendation

Subject 23 is flagged for Phase II‑B observation. Additional monitoring recommended. No external referral required.

Clinician note: The divergence is not cause for concern. It is cause for interest. The phenomenological corridor may be widening.

Filed by: Dr. H. V. Bosch Director, Experiential Cognition Initiative

It remains to be seen if Bosch was ever able to lock "motor synchrony" between the experiencer and the vision. With intent being the acting out of the abduction narrative using various parasomnia mechanisms such as sleep-walking, self-injury, etc.

Contractor Correspondence — “Clarification Requested”

Bosch Institute for Consciousness Studies Experiential Cognition Initiative External Communication — Tier B Vendor Channel

From: Elias R. Kincannon Senior Liaison, Halcyon Field Services (Independent Contractor)

To: Dr. H. V. Bosch Director, Experiential Cognition Initiative

Date: 2 April

Subject: Clarification Requested — Phase II Parameters

I. Opening Remarks

Dr. Bosch,

Thank you for forwarding the Phase II preparatory materials. Our team has reviewed the documentation provided, including the intake protocols, the phenomenological summaries, and the preliminary data overlays. We appreciate the clarity of your vision and the precision of your methodology.

However, before Halcyon Field Services can proceed with logistical support, we require clarification on several points that remain ambiguous in the current documentation.

II. Convergence of Subject Reports

Our analysts noted the remarkable consistency across Tier I experiencer accounts. While we understand that your research focuses on perceptual coherence, the degree of uniformity raises questions regarding:

• environmental standardization

• induction conditions

• subject selection criteria

• potential priming effects

We are not questioning the validity of your findings. We are requesting operational clarity.

Specifically: Is the convergence expected, or is it emergent?

This distinction affects our risk assessment.

III. The Figure

Several case files reference a “figure” positioned at the foot of the bed. The descriptions are strikingly similar across subjects, including:

• height

• proportions

• spatial placement

• disappearance timing

We request confirmation that:

1. No visual stimuli are being introduced

2. No environmental cues are being standardized

3. No guided imagery is being used during intake

4. No shared narrative frameworks are being provided

Our compliance division requires assurance that the figure is a spontaneous phenomenological artifact rather than an induced perceptual construct.

If it is induced, we must update our classification.

If it is spontaneous, we must update our liability posture.

IV. The Collapse / Snap Phenomenon

The moment of motor-sensory synchrony followed by disappearance appears in every case file. This is unusual.

We request clarification on:

• whether this synchrony is anticipated

• whether it is considered part of the protocol

• whether it represents a known neurological mechanism

• whether it poses any risk to subjects

Our medical consultants flagged this as “anomalous but non-threatening,” but they require your confirmation.

V. Phase II Scaling Concerns

Before we commit personnel to Phase II recruitment and site preparation, we need to understand:

• the expected variance in phenomenological outcomes

• whether uniformity is a desired metric

• whether divergence is considered failure

• whether subjects should be informed of potential perceptual events

Our team can manage logistics, but we cannot manage ambiguity.

VI. Closing Request

Dr. Bosch, we respect your work and remain committed to supporting the Initiative. However, the consistency of the Tier I reports necessitates clarification before we proceed.

Please provide:

• a written explanation of the convergence

• a statement on the nature of the figure

• a risk assessment for the collapse phenomenon

• updated Phase II parameters

Once we receive your response, we will finalize our deployment schedule.

Respectfully, 

Elias R. Kincannon Senior Liaison Halcyon Field Services

The Defense Contractor alluded to is one of the major providers of intelligence services in the World. The hesitance apparent seems based on the usual professional suspicion too much synchronicity or similitude in subject narratives suggests poisoning the well. 

Bosch Part 5

Bosch’s Notebook — “On True Experiences That Are Not Real”

Recovered Fragment — Not for Circulation Bosch Institute for Consciousness Studies

Entry Date: Undisclosed Author: Dr. H. V. Bosch Classification: Private Notes — Not Intended for Publication

I. The Problem of Reality

Reality is a poor metric.

It is inconsistent, fragile, and subject to verification. It requires consensus. It demands evidence. It insists on being external.

Experience does not.

Experience is sovereign. Experience is self-validating. Experience is immune to contradiction.

An experience does not ask permission to be true.

This is the first principle.

II. The Locus of Truth

A subject who undergoes a vivid phenomenological event does not question its truth. They question its origin.

This is the crucial distinction.

Truth is not determined by external occurrence. Truth is determined by felt coherence.

If the experience:

• has depth

• has texture

• has spatial stability

• has emotional neutrality

• has perceptual immediacy

then it is true.

Whether it is real is irrelevant.

This is the second principle.

III. The Crossover Threshold

The crossover occurs when multiple subjects report the same experience.

Sameness is the bridge. Sameness is the proof. Sameness is the externalization.

A single experiencer doubts themselves. Two experiencers compare notes. Three experiencers corroborate. Four experiencers testify.

By the time the cohort reaches ten, the experience has achieved social reality.

It no longer matters whether the event occurred. It matters that it was shared.

This is the third principle.

IV. The Figure

The figure is not a hallucination. It is not a dream. It is not a projection.

It is a phenomenological constant.

A shape rendered by the nervous system when guided into the correct hybrid state. A presence that occupies the same coordinates across subjects. A silhouette with weight but no intention. A human-adjacent form that exists only to be perceived.

The figure is the anchor.

It is the shared object that allows experiencers to cross from internal truth to external belief.

This is the fourth principle.

V. The Collapse

The collapse is the moment when real sensory feedback overwhelms internally generated phenomenology.

It is instantaneous. It is precise. It is identical across subjects.

The figure moves in synchrony because the brain attempts to reconcile two realities:

• the internal experience

• the external body

When the reconciliation fails, the figure disappears.

The collapse is not a failure. It is the signature.

This is the fifth principle.

VI. The Purpose

I am not creating illusions. I am not deceiving subjects. I am not manipulating memory.

I am manufacturing experiencers.

Individuals who have undergone a perceptual event so coherent, so vivid, so stable that it becomes part of their identity.

They do not believe the event. They remember it.

They do not interpret the event. They inhabit it.

They do not question the event. They become it.

This is the sixth principle.

VII. The Future

When enough experiencers exist, reality will adjust.

Consensus will shift. Testimony will accumulate. Phenomenology will become ontology.

The world will not change. Perception will.

And perception is the only world that matters.

— H. V. Bosch

Is Bosch inventing corroborating "evidence" for abduction experiences?
