Ingo Swann's book, "Penetration," on first looks doesn't really raise any credible new issues. It is also a book that seems written by two people - or one person with two objectives. The first third is a far-out story about how Ingo was taken to an unknown location (hood over head and all) and asked to espy through ESP the lunar landscape. On doing so, he was surprised to learn that the moon was inhabited by some extraterrestrial forms that were exploiting our satellite through mining or something of the sort. The man who was in charge of the undisclosed site listened intently and was not surprised - -it was something that he had known, and was intensely concerned with.
And then we move on to the next two- thirds of the book,which suddenly becomes very technical and logically complex - as if the first part was to lure in readers, and the second to reasonably convince them that something very big and strange was going on on the Moon. Here we learn that astronomers have long established that there is a lunar atmosphere, and that water is present (the latter was revealed in the late 90's, which I recall - but the former is news to me); we learn that high-resolution photos have been taken of the moon since the late 50's or early 60's, yet few have been released to the public; that some of the few that were shown revealed building structures in the background; that suddenly, both the Soviet Union and the US stopped further exploration and colonization of the Moon, even though much more had been planned; and that an undisclosed fear was behind such limits of the former rival superpowers.
We also learn that as Swann was surveying the Moon with his special gift, the aliens he saw spotted his psychic presence, something that is of utmost importance to the greater thesis of the book: that is, that human governments have been giving us disinformation to cloud the alien "facts" to keep us from exploring our own psychic potential. This, we learn, was (is) done for two reasons: to avoid psychic contact with the aliens, who are already steering us with their own thoughts, and to keep us "dumbed down" so that we might not penetrate state secrets. And thus we come to what I consider to be the relevant aspects of this book.
One - that we all have psychic potential, but not in the way we think we do. Swann, who should know, warns us that the "radio wave" hypothesis of ESP promulgated in the 19th century is incorrect, as experiments repeatedly show. Rather, ESP arises from the realization that everything forms a "whole." That is, that we penetrate the thoughts of others not by beaming inside their heads, but by becoming open to our communal mind. That is a huge shift in perspective, and one that is more commensurate with both modern quantum physics theories and time-honored mystic concepts.
And Two: that the governments of the world have a vested interest in keeping our psychic powers well leashed, for power comes from secrecy. This is so not only because of the chess -moves that world leaders must make between themselves, but also because of the motivations of leaders and power brokers themselves. Are they, for instance, telling us one thing that sounds good or important for us all only to achieve greater power or wealth for themselves? And are a few or many involved in a conspiracy to foster, say, a world government that would violate the beliefs and practices of the many hundreds of cultures around the world? Are we, then, being shepherded towards a destiny that we would not agree with if we knew?
Both are very relevant points, the first for sheer knowledge, the second to take control of our destinies. Moreover, the second - concealment of motivations by leaders - is suspected by most of us continually, as it has happened again and again in history (Hitler and the Munich pact, for instance). Also, and even more importantly, it does seem that we are being directed towards an end that few of us desire.
When we add it all up, then, we can see that a greater awareness of what we are - of the reality of consciousness - is essential to gain control of our lives and direct ourselves towards a better future, beyond the motivations of the power elite. We might scoff at the idea that there are aliens on the Moon who are also directing us subtly with psychic powers, all covered up by the world governments, but we cannot deny our own powerlessness in the face of molding human destiny. Such books as Swann's - and there are hundreds if not thousands - may be kooky on the outside, but they are based on something very real and disturbing on the inside, much as Swann's book is bifurcated by one-part science fiction, and another by serious thought.
It does appear that we are being directed somehow towards a certain end of which we know little. We do not know how this is happening and are nearly helpless to stop it. Many explanations point to outlandish science fiction tales, but at bottom is a truth that we desperately need to explore. We must stop being led by the forces that be, and to do that we must understand how we are being led. It is purposefully difficult to do this, given "spin" and disinformation, but it can be done by focusing on the whole - on the psychic whole of which each of us is a part. There may not be UFOs on the Moon, but there is certainly something going on here earth side that is very alien indeed. FK
