UFOt, MIB, okkultismi ja Trevor James Constable

kirjoittanut Nick Redfern

Twilight Language -blogissaan Loren Coleman on kirjoittanut uuden postauksen UFO-tutkija/kirjoittaja Trevor James Constablen kuolemasta 31. maaliskuuta 2016. Artikkelin otsikko on ”’Space Critters’ Ufologist Trevor James Constable Has Died. Siihen sisältyy Lorenin kirjoittama seuraava: “Toinen ufologian varhainen tutkija ja kirjailija on kuollut. Syntyperäinen uusiseelantilainen Trevor James Constable, 90, kuoli 31. maaliskuuta 2016 Kaliforniassa. Tämä uutinen tulee sen jälkeen, kun vasta äskettäin saimme tietää Albert K. Benderin, 94, kuolemasta. Ei kovin yllättävää, koska Bender ja Constable olivat erityiseltä aikakaudelta, heidän elämässään on päällekkäisyyttä.”

Päällekkäisyyttä oli varmasti. Constable oli syvästi kiinnostunut 1950-luvun alun Albert Bender/Men in Black -saagasta. Kuten mainitsin Lorenille: ”Constable kirjoitti kirjeen kirjaan Bender Mystery Confirmed. Tätä kirjaa eivät monet tunne. Se oli jatkoa Benderin kirjalle Flying Saucers and the Three Men. Sen julkaisi Gray Barker. Confirmed-kirja on kokoelma noin 20 kirjettä ihmisiltä, jotka olivat lukeneet Benderin kirjan ja halusivat kommentoida sitä.” Vuoden 1962 kirjeessään (joka lähetettiin Gray Barkerille) Constable tekee hyvin selväksi, että hän uskoi Benderin kohdanneen jotain suoraan okkultistisesta maailmasta.

Trevor James Constable

Constable kirjoitti: “Rakas Gray, Minun on todellakin vaikea okkultistina, jolla on omakohtaista kokemusta tästä UFO-alasta, selvittää Benderin matkoja edestakaisin fyysisen ja astraalin välisen kynnysrajan yli. Al Benderin biometrinen tutkimus osoittaisi luultavasti samankaltaisia asioita kuin mitä se paljasti tietyistä muista tutkijoista — täydellistä kyvyttömyyttä tehdä eroa kahden todellisuuden tason tapahtumien välillä.”

Hän jatkoi kirjoittaen Barkerille: “Benderin rehellisyyttä en epäile hetkeäkään. Hänen syrjintänsä on mielestäni olematonta. Tuntuu melkein uskomattomalta, että mies voisi kertoa koko tarinan kauhukammionsa rakentamisesta ullakolle sillä tavalla kuin Bender on tehnyt. Tämä vakuuttaa minut hänen rehellisyydestään. Mikään ei voisi olla okkultistisessa mielessä loogisempaa kuin se, että näkymättömät entiteetit, jotka hän kutsui paikalle valmistelemalla tätä paikkaa, todellakin ilmenisivät hänelle ja sen jälkeen ryhtyisivät pakkomielteeseen hänen kanssaan pitkän aikaa käyttäen hypnoottisia tekniikoita, jotka saivat miehen täysin hallintaansa.”

Constablella oli vielä sanottavaa: “Mitä tulee asiaan liittyvien entiteettien luonteeseen, näyttää siltä, että kirjoitukseni ’huomaamattomasta fysikaalisuudesta’ monien avaruusalusten tai niin kutsuttujen avaruusalusten lähteenä ovat vain liian lähellä totuutta. Itse asiassa, jos Benderin kokemuksella on jotain arvoa, haluaisin ehdottaa, että se varmasti valaisee They Live in the Sky -kirjan uudelleen lukemista. En usko tietäväni mitään Benderin tapauksen kaltaista tapausta, jossa mies, joka näennäisesti ei ollut tietoinen okkultismin todellisuudesta ja laeista, sai aggressiivisten okkulttisten voimien energeettisen huomion itselleen. Varmasti mies voi kiittää jonkinlaista jumalallista väliintuloa mielenterveytensä säilymisestä — jos kaikki, mitä hän kirjoittaa, on totta.”

Constable totesi myös: “Olettaen, että Bender on ollut totuudenmukainen ja rehellinen, sanoisin, että hänen kokemustensa opetus on tämä. UFOjen ja kaikkien niihin liittyvien hämmentävien ilmiöiden ymmärtämiseksi on välttämätöntä tuntea okkultistinen tiede. Tämä oppi, joka on ajettu kotiin lukemattomin tavoin siitä lähtien, kun lautaset tulivat ihmiskunnan tietoisuuteen, saa uutta voimaa Benderin kirjan myötä. Mutta vain harvat ovat niitä, jotka ottavat sen huomioon.”

Se, missä määrin Constable on saattanut jatkaa Benderin mysteerin selvittämistä, on asia, jota tutkin parhaillaan.

Rest In Peace, Julian Sands

The world has lost a phenomenal actor and gentle soul.

Julian Sands went missing in early January whilst going on a hike. His body has only just been found now in late June, 2023. He was 65 years old.

Along with many, many others, I am deeply saddened by his passing. The only positive thing is that his body has been recovered. I’ve been hoping for the last few months that this would be the case. At least his family can have some form of closure now.

This is a terrible tragedy that I truly wish had not happened.

But, to honour Mr. Sands, I thought I’d briefly go over a few of his films that I’ve seen and highlight the amazing range that he had.

Boxing Helena (1993)

I first became aware of Julian Sands a few years ago when I saw this film.

Directed by Jennifer Lynch, Boxing Helena tells that story of Nick (Sands) and his obsession with one-night-stand Helena (Sherilyn Fenn). After an accident makes her dependent on him, we explore Nick’s psyche and how far he’s willing to go to keep Helena with him.

This is a film that will not appeal the everyone unfortunately, but I’d still highly recommend you see it. It’s a brilliant picture with many layers and at the centre is Julian Sands and his amazing performance.

Nick’s character is heads over heals obsessed with Helena, despite her outright stating she has no interest in him. She’s quite cold to Nick for most of the film, and you can understand why. However, for Nick, that coldness is incentive to try harder for her affections. He ensures she has to rely on him for everything because he “loves” her and wants to keep her for himself.

This showcases Julian Sands’ range as an actor. He has done many serious performances throughout his career, but for me this one is special. Nick is kind of a sad person and even a tad pathetic at times. But you never lose track of why he’s like that.

He’s emotional and even intimidating when need be. It’s a comparatively softer character than some of his other work, but Nick still stands out as a sympathetic and sometimes abhorrent character - played to absolute excellence by Julian Sands.

Warlock (1989)

Directed by Steve Miner, Warlock follows Julian Sands as the titular villain who travels from the 17th century to the 20th in order to end the world. As you do. Along the way he is pursued by Redferne (Richard E. Grant), who follows him from the past, & Kassandra (Lori Singer), a modern woman caught up in the dangerous medieval magic.

This is a good film, and it’s one of the biggest things Julian Sands is known for (the others undoubtedly being Room With A View (1985), Gothic (1986) and to a lesser extent Argento’s Phantom of the Opera (1998)) Not without reason, either.

Julian Sands is excellent in this, playing a cold hearted and cruel sadist of a character. The definition of evil. He’s very direct and at times his menacing stare does most of the talking. He brings a presence that few could ever hope to match.

From the first moment you see him, you know he’s bad news. A complete one-eighty to Boxing Helena.

I for one was quite surprised to see him in this role, having known him primarily for that film. He disappears into this terrifying, yet not outright scary, role. Rocking the long-hair-ponytail look, Julian Sands will make you fear magic and what it’s (and, by extension, he’s) really capable of.

Warlock II: The Armageddon (1993)

Directed by Anthony Hickox, the sequel follows the eponymous Warlock (Sands) as he is resurrected into the 90s (oh no!) and once again sets off on a quest to obtain mystical macguffins so he can put an end to the world as we know it. While that’s going on we follow a group of good warlocks that aren’t Julian Sands who must ready for the coming evil.

This film does away with the seriousness of the first and just about loses its damn mind with how crazy it can get. But if you’ve seen Hickox’s other works such as Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth (1992) & the Waxwork films (1988 & 1992, respectively), you’ll probably be used to the amount of darkly wacky he puts into his pictures.

The lore is almost completely revamped in terms of the Warlock and he’s after. Plus, the expansion of other magic practitioners is interesting in theory, but the result for the latter is underwhelming.

Julian Sands, however, is magnificent. This is a bit of a lesser product compared to the first, but you can’t tell that from his performance alone. I feel like you get way more of him in this one (kinda rocking his Boxing Helena look a little bit, no surprise considering it was probably filmed around the same time). You follow the Warlock as he interacts with the modern world and it’s inhabitants, tracking down mystical stones that will bring about the end of the world once assembled.

The character feels more accessible too for modern times, in terms of his presentation and demeanour. So this means there’s less medieval speak and more one-liners. Also seems like they ramped up the sexiness too at times.

The movie is much sillier than it’s predecessor, but it’s goofy fun. And you have Julian Sands dispatching people in increasingly gruesome and creative ways. Very Wishmaster (1997), with the vibe of Wishmaster II: Evil Never Dies (1999). His performance remains intimidating and cruel, but all around less cold.

Tale of a Vampire (1992)

Directed by Shimako Sato, Tale of a Vampire follows Alex (Sands) as he finds reprieve from his lonely existence in the form of Anna (Suzanna Hamilton), a kind librarian. However, all is not well as parts of his past, and his bloodlust, come back to haunt him.

This seems to have been released direct to video and, call me crazy, may have been capitalising on another vampire film that came out the exact same year. Even this film’s poster shares some similarities. Although, Julian Sands was apparently in talks to play Lestat instead of Tom Cruise, so there’s another connection. At the moment, you can find this film on YouTube (VHS rip).

Setting that aside, this is an interesting film that I don’t believe gets talked about much. It won’t change your life and I don’t think it quite gets across its ideas perfectly, but Julian Sands’ performance, as ever, is brilliant. You believe he’s been around for ages and has never been able to keep a love for himself. We get flashbacks concerning a previous companion throughout the film as Alex tries to get close to Anna in the present. There is a type of warmth that Julian Sands brings to the role, whilst also maintaining the lonesome chill of a corpse. You get a sense of confliction from him as the film goes on - whether to pursue Anna or leave her be; damn her or let her go.

Edgar Allen Poe’s ‘Annabel Lee’ also features in the film, so the idea of youth and love lost are meant to be front and centre.

There is still an element of danger to Julian Sands’ character. The film doesn’t shy away from the fact that he’s still undead and thus, must consume fresh blood. ((Special warning to all cat lovers, by the way.)) He even has a brief flash of harming Anna due to his nature and personal feelings towards her.

You feel his pain and it’s a shame that Julian Sands didn’t play more vampires, or had roles like this. Or maybe he did and I just don’t know about them. Either way he was great in this role.

Arachnophobia (1990)

Directed by Frank Marshall, Arachnophobia follows a doctor (Jeff Daniels) and his family who move to a town that is soon besieged by tons of lethal spiders. As the death toll rises, it’s a race against the clock to stop the eight-legged menace from killing everyone there.

Julian Sands has a smaller role here compared to the previous films mentioned, but he is still important and does serve as the catalyst for everything. He plays Dr. James Atherton, who is studying an undiscovered type of spider that, of course, makes it back to a populated area and spawns off a deadly chain of events.

The film itself is fun and Julian Sands is a great, somewhat pompous, doctor who can be very dismissive of those around him. Very British and very passionate about his work.

Though, of course, he does not survive the film. The big hoss spider gets him. Then again, he did declare himself as “supper”. And when you see his body, it’s pretty gnarly. He’s covered in webbing with spiders crawling all over him. Real spiders. No CGI. That alone increased my respect for him one-hundred fold when I saw it.

From unhinged sap to scary villain to lonesome creature to apathetic doctor to even romantic lead, Julian Sands led a varied and fascinating career. He seemed unafraid to attempt any role and did so with impressive commitment and astounding results.

The world has lost a great talent that will never be forgotten.

RIP Julian Sands, we will all miss you dearly.

[chaotic-polymath]

"If the UFO intelligence(s) have been trying to establish contact, then clearly it is not a top-down type of contact meant to involve appointed representatives of government institutions. The reports we’ve gathered tell us it is far more egalitarian: a grass-roots type of contact involving individuals from all walks of life, which only seems to make sense if we accept two propositions: 1. The intelligence(s) have little use for traditional social structure; and 2. it or they are possibly not bound by the constraints of space and time the way we are. If time is no issue, then perhaps the best way to establish a dialog with humankind is on an individual basis.

Of course, such a non-protocolary development would never sit well with governing authorities. The CIA-sponsored Robertson panel of 1953 concluded that reports of Unidentified Flying Objects were themselves more threatening to the stability of the country than the actual possibility of an extraterrestrial intervention. It recommended a smear campaign to minimize or ridicule close encounters in the press, and the monitoring of UFO groups for fear that they could easily be manipulated by Soviet agents. The same approach was taken with self-proclaimed “contactees”—individuals from all walks of American society claiming direct contact with the flying saucer occupants, whom they fondly regarded as our “space brothers.” In his 2010 book, Contactees, Nick Redfern writes how the most prominent figures in the contactee movement were closely monitored by FBI operatives who attended their lectures and made reports on what the speakers said to their audience. Imagine the consternation of J. Edgar Hoover when reading that George Adamski’s Venusian friends regarded socialism as the most perfect form of human government. It is my opinion the Cosmic Love propagandized by the Contactees of the 1950s paved the way to the Free Love counterculture of the 1960s, and the governmental authorities viewed both grassroots movements in the same manner: as a threat, graver and more insidious than an open confrontation with the communist bloc."
