r　frames　of　reference。　I　am　not　concerned　with　beliefs　but　with　the　cosmic　mechanism　〃which　has　generated　and　perpetuated　those　beliefs。
　　
　　III。
　　
　　There　is　an　old　house　on　a　tree…lined　street　in　New　York's　Greenwich　Village　which　harbors　a　strange　ghost。　Hans　Holzer　and　other　ghost…chasers　have　included　the　house　in　their　catalogs　of　haunted　places。　The　phantom　has　been　seen　by　several　people　in　recent　years。　It　is　dressed　hi；　a　long　black　cape　and　wears　a　wide…brimmed　slouch　hat　pulled　down　over　its　eyes　as　it　slinks　from　room　to　room。　Self…styled　parapsychologists　have　woven　all　kinds　of　fantasies　around　this　apparition。　Obviously　a　spy　from　the　revolutionary　war　was　caught　and　killed　in　the　old　house。
　　
　　But　wait。　This　ghost　may　not　be　a　member　of　the　restless　dead　at　all。　There　were　never　any　reports　of　hauntings　there　until　about　twenty　years　ago；　after　the　house　was　vacated　by　a　writer　named　Walter　Gibson。　He　was；　and　is；　an　extraordinarily　prolific　author。　For　many　years　he　churned　out　a　full…length　novel　each　month；　and　many　of　those　novels　were　written　in　the　house　in　Greenwich　Village。　All　of　them　were　centered　around　the　spectacularly　successful　character　Gibson　created　in　the　1930s；　that　nemesis　of　evil　known　as　The　Shadow。　If　you　have　read　any　of　The　Shadow　novels　you　know　that　he　was　fond　of　lurking　in　dark　alleys　dressed　in　a　cape　and　broad…brimmed　slouch　hat。
　　
　　Why　would　a　Shadow…like　apparition　suddenly　appear　in　an　old　house？　Could　it　be　some　kind　of　residue　from　Walter　Gibson's　very　powerful　mind？　We　do　know　that　some　people　can　move　objects；　even　bend　spoons　and　keys；　with　the　power　of　their　minds　alone。　Mental　telepathy　is　now　a　tested　and　verified　phenomenon。　And　about　10　percent　of　the　population　have　the　ability　to　see　above　and　beyond　the　narrow　spectrum　of　visible　light。　They　can　see　radiations　and　even　objects　invisible　to　the　rest　of　us。　A　very　large　part　of　the　UFO　lore　is；　in　fact；　based　upon　the　observations　of　such　people。　What　seems　normal　to　them　seems　abnormal；　even　ridiculous；　to　the　rest　of　us。　People　who　see　ghosts　or　the　wandering　Shadow　have　these　abilities。　They　are　peering　at　forms　that　are　always　there；　always　present　around　us　like　radio　waves；　and　when　certain　conditions　exist　they　can　see　these　things。　The　Tibetans　believe　that　advanced　human　minds　can　manipulate　these　invisible　energies　into　visible　forms　called　tulpas；　or　thought　projections。　Did　Walter　Gibson's　intense　concentration　on　his　Shadow　novels　inadvertently　bring　a　tulpa　into　existence？
　　
　　Readers　of　occult　literature　know　there　are　innumerable　cases　of　ghosts　haunting　a　particular　site　year　after　year；　century　after　century；　carrying　out　the　same　mindless　activities　endlessly。　Build　a　house　on　such　a　site　and　the　ghost　will　leave　locked　doors　ajar　as　it　marches　through　to　carry　out　its　programed　activity。　Could　these　ghosts　really　be　tulpas；　residues　of　powerful　minds　like　the　phantom　in　the　broad…brimmed　hat？
　　
　　Next；　consider　this。　UFO　activity　is　concentrated　in　the　same　areas　year　after　year。　In　the　Ohio　valley；　they　show　a　penchant　for　the　ancient　Indian　mounds　which　stand　throughout　the　area。　Could　some　UFOs　be　mere　tulpas　created　by　a　long　forgotten　people　and　doomed　forever　to　senseless　maneuvers　in　the　night　skies？
　　
　　There　are　archaeological　sites　in　the　Mississippi　valley　which　have　been　dated　to　8；000　years　ago　。。。　long　before　the　Indians　are　supposed　to　have　arrived。　Some　of　the　Indian　mounds　（there　are　hundreds　of　them　scattered　throughout　North　America）　are　laid　out　and　constructed　with　the　same　kind　of　mathematical　precision　found　in　the　pyramids　of　Egypt。　While　it　is　known　that　the　Indians　were　still　adding　to　some　of　the　mounds　in　the　south　when　the　Europeans　first　arrived；　other　mounds　seem　to　be　considerably　older。　Some　are　built　in　the　form　of　elephants。　What　did　the　builders　use　for　a　model？　Others　are　in　the　shape　of　sea　serpents。　These　forms　can　only　be　seen　from　the　air。　To　plan　and　build　such　mountains　of　shaped　earth　required　technical　skills　beyond　the　simple　nomadic　woods　Indians。
　　
　　Currently　there　is　a　revival　in　diffusionism；　a　popular　scientific　concept　of　the　1920s　which　asserted　that　many　of　the　puzzling　artifacts　and　ancient　constructions　found　throughout　the　world　were　the　products　of　a　single　worldwide　culture。　The　cult　of　believers　in　Atlantis　were　the　principal　advocates　of　this　idea；　so　sober　scientists　naturally　turned　away　from　it　for　a　theory　that　is　almost　impossible　to　support。　This　was　the　notion　that　many　inventions　and　ideas　simply　occurred　simultaneously　to　widespread；　isolated　cultures。
　　
　　The　flying　saucer　entities　have　allegedly　contacted　many　people　in　almost　every　country　and　have　immodestly　claimed　credit　for　everything　from　the　building　of　the　pyramids　to　the　sinking　of　Atlantis。　Erich　Von　Daniken；　a　Swiss　author；　has　popularized　the　concept　that　members　of　an　extraterrestrial　civilization　did　contact　early　earthlings；　basing　his　theories　on　expansive　misinterpretations…and　in　several　instances；　deliberate　misrepresentations…of　archaeological　curiosities。　Von　Daniken　seems　to　be　totally　ignorant　of　the　work　of　European　scholars　such　as　Brinsley　Trench；　Paul　Misraki；　and　W。　Raymond　Drake；　who　have　examined　the　same　curiosities　very　carefully　in　the　past　ten　years　and　developed　elaborate　philosophical　hypotheses　about　the　intrusion　and　effect　of　alien　beings　on　mankind　since　the　beginning。　Their　concepts　are　wider　in　scope　and　significance；　and　far　better　documented　than　Von　Daniken'（r）　simplistic　efforts。
　　
　　That　unidentified　flying　objects　have　been　present　since　the　dawn　of　man　is　an　undeniable　fact。　They　are　not　only　described　repeatedly　in　the　Bible；　but　were　also　the　subject　of　cave　paintings　made　thousands　of　years　before　the　Bible　was　written。　And　a　strange　procession　of　weird　entities　and　frightening　creatures　have　been　with　us　just　as　long。　When　you　review　the　ancient　references　you　are　obliged　to　conclude　that　the　presence　of　these　objects　and　beings　is　a　normal　condition　for　this　planet。　These　things；　these　other　intelligences　or　OINTs　as　Ivan　Sanderson　labeled　them；　either　reside　here　but　somehow　remain　concealed　from　us；　or　they　do　not　exist　at　all　and　are　actually　special　aberrations　of　the　human　mind…tulpas；　hallucinations；　psychological　constructs；　momentary　materializations　of　energy　from　that　dimension　beyond　the　reach　of　our　senses　and　even　beyond　the　reaches　of　our　scientific　instruments。　They　are　not　from　outer　space。　There　is　no　need　for　them　to　be。　They　have　always　been　here。　Perhaps　they　were　here　long　before　we　started　bashing　each　other　over　the　head　with　clubs。　If　so；　they　will　undoubtedly　still　be　here　long　after　we　have　incinerated　our　cities；　polluted　all　the　waters；　and　rendered　the　very　atmosphere　unbreathable。　Of　course；　their　lives…if　they　have　lives　in　the　usual　sense…will　be　much　duller　after　we　have　gone。　But　if　they　wait　around　long　enough　another　form　of　so…called　intelligent　life　will　crawl　out　from　under　a　rock　and　they　can　begin　their　games　again。
　　
　　IV。
　　
　　Back　in　the　1920s；　Charles　Fort；　the　first　writer　to　explore　inexplicable　events；　observed　you　can　measure　a　circle　by　beginning　anywhere。　Paranormal　phenomena　are　so　widespread；　so　diversified；　and　so　sporadic　yet　so　persistent　that　separating　and　studying　any　single　element　is　not　only　a　waste　of　time　but　also　will　automatically　lead　to　the　development　of　belief。　Once　you　have　established　a　belief；　the　phenomenon　adjusts　its　manifestations　to　support　that　belief　and　thereby　escalate　it。　If　you　believe　in　the　devil　he　will　surely　e　striding　down　your　road　one　rainy　night　and　ask　to　use　your　phone。　If　you　believe　that　flying　saucers　are　astronauts　from　another　planet　they　will　begin　landing　and　collecting　rocks　from　your　garden。
　　
　　Many…most…of　the　manifestations　acpanying　the　UFO　phenomenon　simply　did　not　fit　into　the　enthusiasts3　concept　of　how　a　superior　intelligence　from　another　galaxy　would　behave。　So　the　flying　saucer　clubs　carefully　ignored；　even　suppressed；　the　details　of　those　manifestations　for　many　years。　When　a　black…suited　man　in　a　Cadillac　turned　up；　he　could
