Online on the Youtube channel the video of our speech a “BEYOND: Ufology & Esotericism. National Conference XNUMXst Edition ", aired last night on the channel of the Society of the Sulfur.
ABSTRACT:
When the term "alien" is used today, it is always used in the sense of "extraterrestrial". But thealio Latin, from which the Italian "alien" derives, more generally indicates a situation of otherness with respect to the human being, or rather to living human beings. But and they were therefore, for the ancient Romans, the spirits of the dead, as well as all those entities of the Other World that were outside the human 'norm', and therefore, simplifying, both the gods and the demons. Here, starting from the paraphysical hypothesis of John Keel and Jacques Vallée, we want to analyze the numerous aspects of the modern UFO phenomenon (and above all of the abduction) which appear correlated with ancient traditions and folklore concerning the fairy and 'subtle' entities of the Other World, from the kidnapping of human beings by the latter to the Changeling, from the mysterious phenomenon of Missing Time to the equally enigmatic one of "crop circles".
