The Occult Significance of UFO'S

By Douglas M. Baker

The Occult Significance of UFO'S

No doubt one of the greatest mysteries to emerge from the latter half of the twentieth century has been the subject of UFO's. The questions on everyone's lips at the moment are: Do flying saucers really exist? And has our earth at any time been visited by extra-terrestrials?

In this book, Dr. Douglas M. Baker, an investigator into the phenomena of UFO's for more than 25 years, states conclusively that yes, our Earth has indeed been visited by extra-terrestrials from as far back as 18 million years ago, with the advent of the "Lords of the Flame" He goes on to say that although many of the sightings can be explained away by science as simple natural occurrences, there remain the few isolated incidents which defy all present scientific means of interpretation. To these, Dr. Baker attributes the various occult factors he describes here.

Douglas M. Baker

Dr. Douglas M. Baker. English born and raised in South Africa has done extensive scientific research into those hinterlands of the mind which one might call psi-semantics. He graduated in the Arts & Humanities in South Africa and qualified in medicine at Sheffield University (UK) in 1964. Having taught in the East End schools of London for 10 years, he began his tour of the Western world giving lectures and seminars in Esoteric Healing, Esoteric Anatomy, Esoteric Astrology, Esoteric Psychology, Esoteric Science and Metaphysics. He, more than any other, set in motion the trends towards alternative methods of medicine which have transformed that field in Britain today. As medical advisor to the De la Warr laboratories in Oxford, he undertook research into Biomagnetism and quantum physics their effects on the human aura and dark matter, producing the book by the same name in conjunction with George de la Warr. Through the years he has given more than 15,000 lectures and attracted people from all over the world to his Esoteric Science Festivals and International Summer Schools staged in America, Canada, England, Switzerland, Italy, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. His transformative experiences during the Second World War, when twice severely wounded, set the pattern for his life long investigations into the Powers Latent in Man. His extensive esoteric writings are said to be the largest collection in the world produced by a living author. He has written over 100 books, many of which have been translated into the 9 European languages at https://www.douglasbaker.com, and his list of downloadable MP3 audio lectures available at www.douglasbaker.org, include 500 live lectures given around the world and on a vast range of subjects. He has led the field in esoteric astrology, producing with a team, his magnum opus, a Dictionary of Astrology for the 21st Century in three volumes. This is in addition to the already existing 11 volume set of books on the same subject.

AUTHOR'S NOTE

This book was first conceived during a lecture tour of South Africa in 1958 and incorporated the substance of some of the many lectures I gave to a land that was experiencing, significantly I now think, a phase of UFO sightings unequaled anywhere else. One could say that the subject of flying saucers constitutes one of the borderlands between science/technology and metaphysics.

South Africa is a meeting place for many cultures and many races struggling to retain their identity, yet moving inevitably toward a multiracial state, and the setting pro-ides a fertile ground for those on the frontiers of emergent cultures or those undergoing great change. The stress in South Africa at that time sought means of expression and coinciding with the first sputniks, the field of UFOs was the most obvious outlet for some of that expression.

The country's father figure, Jan Christian Smuts had himself initiated the vast subject of Holism* in a work that is only now beginning to be vindicated by the great interest shown today in holistic medicine and other topics allied to his Holism. South Africa desperately seeks its destiny within the holistic framework of humanity. Perhaps sightings of UFOs was the first outward expression of the hope that country will unite and integrate into the community of nations.

* Holism by J.C. Smuts

As a serious student of the occult sciences, I felt it was a subject that needed to be thoroughly investigated. A student then of medicine at the University of Capetown, I preferred to take the usual line of investigation which was to organise observation groups throughout the land and to correlate sightings from other countries. I went along with this technique for some time and found it so lacking in indication of the causal nature of UFOs that I sought elsewhere and used other techniques. It is from these later techniques that I derived my present attitude to Ufology. Since those early days, I have qualified in medicine, toured extensively in the Western Hemisphere, made contacts with those Great Ones Whom we call the Masters, and studied intently subjects like telepathy, meditation, bio-magnetism, astrology, Jungian psychology, etc. Combining all these fields into an eclectic approach, I reached the conclusions found at the end of this work.

Through extensive lecture tours of North America (more than fifty of them) in which I met thousands of people interested in the subject of UFOs in some fifty different major cities, I gained a thorough insight into the psychology of the UFO complex which derives from the collective unconscious of Humanity. Keeping an open mind on the matter, I threw open my platforms at the various Festivals of Esoteric Sciences that I held over the succeeding twenty years to those with a viewpoint on flying saucers. These included some of the highest authorities, such as Dr. J. Allen Hynek, as well as some of the crankiest and most way-out interpretations of this earthly phenomenon. I am in no way partial to any view and I am still prepared to modify my present conclusions, if reliable evidence is forthcoming to alter them, which I very much doubt.

Lest the reader should be taken aback by my 'occult' approach to the UFO scene, he should remember that it was Madame Blavatsky* who introduced the concept of the planet Earth being developed under a group of Venusians called The Kumaras. It was another 50 years before Adamski highlighted the same matter with his sightings of vehicles from outer space.

* Founder of the Theosophical Society and author of The Secret Doctrine (first published 1885).

The same woman, writing on behalf of some of these high beings, also forecast that before long, scientists would begin to hear bodies in outer space before picking them up with telescopes. Again, it was 50 years before Man began to set up the great radar telescopes that did just what she forecast.

The proposition that the Earth is a living entity is a teaching that is very old, predating by thousands of years my own book on this matter,** and, of course, the celebrated recent publication of Caia — A New Look At Life On Earth by James Lovelock, first published in 1979. Occultists have been describing the nature of dark matter (calling it 'subtle') for nearly a hundred years and providing descriptions of many of the laws that govern it whereas this subject, more than any, is only now attracting the attention of astronomers.

** The Jewel in the Lotus (Baker Publications, first published 1975).

I have left the contents of this work almost entirely unaltered though most of it was written during a peak period of UFO activity 35 years ago. The subject is still of great interest to me and I have had enough time to give it more serious thought. The style of writing and the terminology is now somewhat antiquated because the text was taken, almost verbatim, from lectures on UFOs given in many centres in South Africa and what is now called Zimbabwe. Today I might not dare say, on public platforms, what I was proclaiming then.

Flying saucers will eventually form part of Man's philosophy a thousand years from now. I am sure of it because man is, and always will be incomplete without symbols, images and miracles offering him hope that his problems will be resolved by forces other than what are at humanity's disposal. The form of the UFO will change. The Gulf War altered our whole concept of what the skies may carry and what might be delivered to us as redemption or punishment by mechanisms beyond our comprehension. In terms of technology, UFOs are now old-hat, outpaced by Earth's own technology and not nearly as spectacular.

CHAPTER 1, MAN'S PLACE IN THE UNIVERSE

First of all, let us get a picture of man's position in this space-time universe. I want you to take our Sun, not a particularly large star as stars go, and reduce it to the size of
