Psychological Aspects of UFO-ology: from UFOs to the Unified Field theOry (UFO)
Richard Motyka
Introduction to Psychology
Spring 2012

            Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs) or flying saucers, as some call them, have been mainly products of fantasy, outright hoaxes, or misidentifications of some sort (For example, TOP SECRET military projects) with some people believing them to be of an advanced alien race from another planet. There are a small percentage of rather perplexing cases which seem to defy explanation. Be that as it may, looking at the phenomenon psychologically, Doctor Carl Jung, a distinguished psychiatrist and contemporary of Doctor Sigmund Freud, felt able to study UFOs as projections of our modern age as he explained in his book “Flying Saucers: A Modern Myth of Things Seen in the Skies”. He saw them as symbols of wholeness and totality which gave humankind hope; a visionary, “Heavenly” source of deliverance, redemption and salvation. Historically, this was also accomplished by mandalas from different cultures. Mandalas are a type of magic circle, as some UFOs may have been described. Religious overtones abound as our modern age still grapples with questions concerning science, evolution, and the Supernatural (David, 123-131). Dangerous or suspect UFO cults have evolved like Heaven’s Gate, which committed a mass suicide about 15 years ago as of this writing, and Raelism, which hopes to build an embassy by Jerusalem to prepare a welcoming place for our supposed alien creators (Online, 2012, Heaven’s Gate, Raelism). Popular in movies, TV, and books, UFOs feed our fantastical visions of what may, indeed, be “Out there”. Getting back to the really problematic UFOs we find ourselves incredulous and awe-struck. We are not quite sure what to make of these cases. Of these, there is a phenomena involving Plasma which does look promising as an avenue of exploration. Hessdalen, Norway has been home to many sightings of bright lights and such which appear to involve Plasma and is still being scientifically studied to this day (Online, 2012, www.hessdalen.org) which leads us up to the Unified Field theOry (UFO), as I call it. As it turns out, Plasma composes over 99% of our visible universe, yet here on earth it seems very rare (Online, 2012, Plasma). Much study is being done on Plasma in high-energy physics which includes the physics of the stars and galaxies (Which can, by the way, look like “Flying saucers”). Any Unified Field theOry, which Einstein and others were searching for, would scientifically explain our universe. I received my insight by studying musical composition. Doctor Wilhelm Reich, who wrote a book concerning UFOs called “Contact With Space”, received his insight by studying emotions. Others like the ancient Hindu’s, ancient philosophers who spoke of Eros (from which we get the word erotic), and even the poet’s Dante and e.e. cummings MAY have had similar understandings. And where did the idea that God is Love come from, after all? Psychologically, we go from UFOs symbolizing wholeness (“Holiness”), redemption and healing to the Unified Field theOry (UFO) which, indeed, unifies (makes whole, “Holy”), redeems creation and heals misunderstandings about God and our Universe. Therefore, psychologically, the revelation we get from UFOs or “Flying saucers” is that Cosmic Consciousness means that God is Love, same as before, just told in a modern, scientific way. My following, updated, rewritten essay would best explain this Unified Field theOry (UFO).  So please, enjoy!

The Unified Field theOry*           

The hoped for, scientific explanation of our universe, pursued by Einstein and more recent scientists, like Stephen Hawking and Michio Kaku, is known as the Unified Field Theory (UFT for short). Also known as the Theory of Everything (TOE) or Grand Unified Theory(GUT)this theory would provide answers to certain so-called eternal, universal questions including: Why does the Universe exist? Where do we come from? And how was it created? (Kaku, Beyond Einstein) Which can further lead to questions like: What do we mean by Divine Love? What are Orgasms? Is there proof of God? Through a process of reverse engineering and intuition I found that this Unified Field theOry (UFO) answers questions like these better than any theory before, put simply:
Stars are Orgasms
, in other words,
Divine Love
Proof of God
            Stars are Orgasms. These heavenly bodies are sources of intense excitement which come from the Big-bang. Scientifically, stars are mainly composed of Plasma, which is an excited, highly ionized form of matter. It is estimated that Plasma composes more than 99% of the visible universe. Wilhelm Reich, the famous/infamous psychologist,contemporary of Freud and Einstein, realized that orgasms are Plasma pulsations which he called Orgone Energy (let us not forget that Energy, E = mc2). Therefore, logically, we get this formula: Stars = Plasma = Orgasms. Let me add that this would mean that stars are Superhuman (the gods), Superintelligent (yes, there is intelligent life elsewhere in the universe) and Supernatural (1 Earth, “too many Stars to count” in nature, therefore, Supernatural). All this would qualify as Cosmic Consciousness.            
Divine Love (in other words, from dictionary.reference.com)pertains to a sacred, celestial god or Supreme Being exuding feelings of desire, warmth and Passion. Sounds positively Orgasmic to me. Ecstatic! Let us not forget that the center of Stars are White Hot and look like the wonderful sources of Light in Near-Death Experiences (NDE’s). It is as Dante, writer of the Divine Comedy wrote “the Love that moves the Sun and the other Stars”. 
            God is Love. Divine Love. Eternally alive. ETERNAL LIFE. All-encompassing. Ever merciful. Always was and always will be. Celestial and earthly. Actually, though it may be taboo, YOU are God in disguise! playing this wicked GAME in which we live (remember live is evil spelled backwards). Philosophically, good is pleasure and evil is pain. In a universe with so much Ecstatic, wondrous pleasure (Total pain being almost nonexistent, in this way God is good AND evil, being greater than 99% good and less than 1% evil, which just happens to be the percentage of Plasma in the visible universe) what more proof do you need for God? Indeed, it is proof of God!
            I hope you, dear reader, are persuaded to believe in this Unified Field theOry. This Unified Field theOry (UFO) would have provided Einstein with his hoped for glimpse into the mind (and body) of God (Online, 2012, Einstein). Like UFO’s, the stars have been mostly unidentified. Science needs to better understand this key theory if it wishes to truly comprehend our universe. Who knows? Perhaps the Higg’s boson, also known as the “God particle” (Lederman), will provide further evidence as our knowledge of biophysics increases. It might even revolutionize human evolution. Here’s to hoping that you come to see the Light!

*Throughout this essay I took the liberty of using Capital Letters and some punctuation, or lack thereof, as I saw fit. I wish to indicate Reverence, as we are dealing with the Sacred. And let us not forget, when appropriate, a sense of humor…(End of essay)

     Psychologically, one does not usually bring up the subject of Orgasms in polite company. Wilhelm Reich felt so strongly about this that he chose to call Orgasmic Energy by the more, he felt, scientifically acceptable term “Orgone Energy” (Online, 2012, Wilhelm Reich). Orgasms are usually too intimate, personal and powerful to be broached in everyday conversation. For the sake of psychological modesty, comfort and ease, even talk of Orgasms are usually kept “behind closed doors” or even, “in the closet”, or else one may risk being called a sex maniac. I would estimate that the whole of humanity is in an Orgasmic state less than 1% of our time. Sad but true. No wonder then. You would think that something so near and dear to us all would get all the scientific attention it deserves. Well, thanks to UFOs and the Unified Field theOry (UFO), it’s time has come!
