Whitley Strieber and the Ultimate Powers That Be (?)

This interview with Greg Bishop is quite fascinating. I recommend listening to the whole thing.

It's a wild insane tale, and you could say Strieber is simply insane. But there's no doubt that Strieber is NOT simply insane. But in particular I point to the last 30 minutes or so, where Strieber describes interactions with what I can only describe as some sort of mysterious alien creatures that interact with us in a very fundamental way. They seem to be some sort of true powers that be...

I had the distinct pleasure of speaking with Whitley Strieber for the second time in as many months. The occasion was the release of his new book, entitled A New World. 

The work may be the most important in Strieber’s “visitors” saga to date: It outlines exactly who and what he has come to believe these entities are, as well as how they interact with us and their reasons for doing so, and how some people may be able to open their own lines of communication with them. 

A couple of years ago, Whitley said he asked the Visitors to show themselves to more people, and that this book was their eventual answer. He said that they “communicate completely differently than us” without “an evolved language.” Strieber’s experiences led him to conclude that they lead an existence that is nearly unfathomable to us, but is frighteningly described as “like being in an empty house where nothing important or significant can ever happen, and you can’t get out,” and that this is why they need our thoughts and sensations of living in a physical world. This, he concludes, is why they seek the “Communion” described in his very first book on the subject. 

He also recounted his experience of an apparent implanted object in his ear and how he receives communication through it. We ended with his wish that more scientific and academic people become aware of and engaged with the subject and the Visitors, and how this may already be happening.
