Rating:  Summary: Photographic Proof of Huge Invisible Protozoa Review: Some of the scientific discoveries which have had the most impact on our society since the Enlightenment were part of a larger corpus of work that has since been cast aside. For example, Sir Isaac Newton, who formulated a mathematically quantified account of gravitation and elaborated the calculus, was a practicing alchemist and a Biblical fundamentalist. Likewise, Sir James Frazer's Golden Bough contains a vast archive of information about magic rituals throughout the world still used by anthropologists, who reject, however, its major hypothesis that belief in magic precedes religious faith, which in turn gives way to empirical methodology. Trevor James Constable is a thinker like these: he discovered something amazing and new about our world, and yet chose to present it to the public in a format which guarantees its dismissal.Inspired by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's "Horror of the Heights," the writings of Charles Fort, and perhaps H.P. Lovecraft's "From Beyond," Constable postulated that we share our world with huge invisible creatures related to the protozoa. The sky overhead is filled with these beings, who may have some intelligence, and are sensitive to radar and radio waves. Some of them are perhaps carnivorous, and responsible for the spate of cattle mutilations which has become such a problem in the past half-century. Constable's discovery of these creatures makes him the equal of Anton van Leeuwenhoek, inventor of the first microscope, and discover of another invisible world which exists outside the reach of our unaided vision. Just as Leeuwenhoek had his microscope, so too did Constable have his camera, fitted with black lens filter and loaded with infrared film, with which he took photographs of a seemingly empty sky. When developed, the pictures showed organisms nearly identical to the amebae, euglenae, and paramecia which exist all around us, but with the difference that Constable's critters were vastly larger, like invisible whales and sharks of the atmosphere. These creatures are perhaps responsible for some of the sightings of UFOs throughout the ages. Through his application of technology, Constable had made visible a new world with strange new creatures in it, which had previously remained unknown to us. Unfortunately, Constable chose to present this bold new discovery in the form of a challenge to established science and government, instead of attempting to incorporate it into the scientific mainstream, where it belongs. His hostility would be understandable if he could have proven that the government knew that these creatures exist and had been hiding this fact from us, or that the critters were somehow involved in humanity's spiritual evolution, and if he didn't waste time postulating that President Nixon's downfall had been the product of manipulation by psychic forces whose objectives were the destruction of America. Some or all of these things are possibly true, but he makes no effort to prove any of them, and all of them are secondary to the discovery of these creatures and the publication of actual photographs of them. Only the film Overlords of the UFOs offers better proof of these creatures' existence (it has footage he himself shot). The discovery itself would be sufficient cause for celebration, but the book also includes an account of the psychologist Wilhelm Reich's battle with these creatures at Orgonon, his estate in Maine. As anthropologist Andrew Gaze points out elsewhere, this tale is Lovecraftian in its power. The inclusion of this account increases the value of the book, but ultimately the framework undermines the author's purported intention, to present to the world a group of creatures as amazing as anything cryptozoologists could ever hope to discover, and which may this very moment be all around us, without our even being able to see them.
Rating:  Summary: Superphysical beings and the Earth's etheric realm Review: The "Cosmic Pulse of Life" is a superb book, and a shining example of the kind of mysterious natural phenomena that are hidden from lower sight. Although unthinkable to most ... that millions of negative density beings inhabit a realm close to lower sight, inexpensive thermal imaging cameras may soon change all this. A superphysical being whose lowest organization is pure (non-visible) light, and warmth, may be imagined to radiated a certain visible light and sensible warmth, as its lower organization interacts with gravity. Exciting advances in our understanding of "living forces", surely awaits further investigation of the realm so fascinatingly introduced by Mr Constable !
Rating:  Summary: The sky may never look quite the same to you again... Review: Trevor James Constable, a well-known writer of aviation history, brings us in this book the amazing news that there are not one but two kinds of UFO. The first, the only one recognized by official ufology, is the metallic spacecraft guided by a higher intelligence of presumably extraterrestrial origin. The second kind are "living organisms," "biological aeroforms" which Constable himself discovered, and which he affectionately refers to as "critters." These critters, about which official science neither knows nor wishes to know anything, may have inhabited the earth's atmosphere for millions of years. Since they exist just beyond the red end of the spectrum, they are normally invisible to the naked eye. They can, however, occasionally be glimpsed under special conditions. They are regularly detected by radar, when they are often mistaken for mechanical UFOs, although in one reported sighting the USAF described their behavior as being more like that of "animals." More usual is that when pilots are sent up to buzz them they report seeing nothing. Critters also, as Constable discovered, can be photographed using an ordinary camera, infra-red film, and an 18a filter which blocks visible light. There are evidently many different kinds of critter. Although they are often disc-shaped and can easily be mistaken for flying saucers, they can also look like giant bacteria, amoeba, or even glowing jelly fish. Also, like flying saucers, they can attain to incredible speeds, execute rapid manoeuvres, and become invisible at wish by suddenly fading from sight. Constable, I repeat, is a successful and respected author, and he writes extremely well. His personal and lengthy investigation of critters was conducted largely along scientific lines, and his findings have been duplicated by European groups. He names many names, cites many sources, and the photographs in his book certainly look genuine to me. Skeptics, with their usual contemptuous knee-jerk reaction to anything new, will of course dismiss his thesis as nonsense, or worse. But I wonder... We know that all surfaces, and that even our skin and guts, are crawling with invisible organisms, organisms which only became visible to man with the invention of the microscope. We also know that our earth, and its soil and waters and seas, teems with a vast profusion of organisms. Why then should the sky be empty? Why should the atmosphere, that rich reservoir of energy, not hold a hitherto unknown class of creatures which feed upon this energy and manifest it in different forms? The fact that a mechanistic science knows nothing of this living energy and its biological aeroforms hardly constitutes proof that they do not exist. But there's the rub. Constable, predictably, was wholly unable to convince official science to take his findings seriously. Despite clear evidence, it dismissed invisible biological aeroforms as it has dismissed cold fusion, the lunar and Mars artefacts, and so many other amazing discoveries of modern times. Why? Here I must ask you to read for yourself Constable's own powerful and detailed analysis of the pathology of our modern, mechanistic, and life-denying science. You may end up feeling that the respect for 'science' and 'scientists' in which we have all been inculcated is in serious need of revision. Constable would like to see official science undertake a thorough investigation of invisible biological aeroforms. Personally, I'm not so sure. One of the more striking characteristics of critters, apparently, is that they are "playful" (p.104). Presumably they have been at play in our atmosphere for millions if not billions of years. Any organized intrusion into their realm by modern man could only corrupt it, just as we have corrupted every other realm that we have intruded upon. Perhaps critters should be left for a reconstituted, wiser, and more life-affirming science of the future. Far better for now that critters be left to their innocent play. Or so it seems to me. Constable himself seems to lend support to this notion when he writes: "Science can never be better than the character structure of those who labor in its service. If the scientist's character structure is mechanistic, so will be his perceptions, reactions, and conceptions. Their direction can only be toward the crushing out of Life" (p.140). A True Science, a Goethean or Higher Science as opposed to the inferior Newtonian anti-life mechanistic science which now holds sway, will not be something that any fool can do - it will, as Constable asserts, be a life-affirming Science of the wise. 'Cosmic Impulse' is a rich, fascinating, and highly informative book which contains much that I haven't gone into here. I strongly urge you to read it, although after reading it the sky may never look quite the same to you again....
