Nigel Kerner - Grey Aliens and Artificial Intelligence: The Battle Between Natural and Synthetic Beings for the Human Soul

In writing a book like this any author is always magnified by those who help with the research and assembly of the final work. In my case I am particularly grateful for the skill and erudition of Danielle Silverman, the chief researcher. Her ceaseless intelligent meticulous attention to detail in pursuing the facts underlying the ideas in the text enabled a much greater work than originally anticipated.

And also, I am grateful for Daniel Langsman. His dazzling artistic talents for envisioning complex and sometimes obscure ideas pictorially have left me aghast with admiration for the accuracy of his illustrations.

Both of these individuals have done their work with a sense of personal resource and belief in the ideas in the book and I am left humbled by the power of the human mind and heart as illustrated by their respective talents.

What we consider the here and now, this world, it is actually just the material level that is comprehensible. The beyond is an infinite reality that is much bigger. Which this world is rooted in. In this way, our lives in this plane of existence are encompassed, surrounded, by the afterworld already.... The body dies but the spiritual quantum field continues. In this way, I am immortal.

HANS-PETER DRR, FORMER HEAD OF THE MAX PLANCK INSTITUTE FOR PHYSICS AND ASTROPHYSICS

Our thoughts, our will, our consciousness and our feelings show properties that could be referred to as spiritual properties. No direct interaction with the known fundamental forces of natural science, such as gravitation, electromagnetic forces, etc., can be detected in the spiritual. On the other hand, however, these spiritual properties correspond exactly to the characteristics that distinguish the extremely puzzling and wondrous phenomena in the quantum world.

CHRISTIAN HELLWIG, PH.D., OF THE MAX PLANCK INSTITUTE FOR BIOPHYSICAL CHEMISTRY

The human mystery is incredibly demeaned by scientific reductionism, with its claim in promissory materialism to account eventually for all of the spiritual world in terms of patterns of neuronal activity. This belief must be classed as a superstition.... We have to recognize that we are spiritual beings with souls existing in a spiritual world as well as material beings with bodies and brains existing in a material world.

SIR JOHN ECCLES, NOBEL PRIZEWINNING NEUROPHYSIOLOGIST AND PHILOSOPHER

Our world is not divided by race, color, gender, or religion. Our world is divided into wise people and fools. And fools divide themselves by race, color, gender, or religion.

It all started thirty-one years ago, when my son, then twelve years old, asked, Dad, are UFOs real?

My paternal grandfather impressed on me when I was a child that you must never fob off a childs question with a specious comment or answer. He would never give me anything but the deepest attention. He would stop anything he was doing and reply with the kind of attention that included a didactic stance and a challenging question. He died when I was five years old. I was always conscious of his respect for me. I was aware that he took everything I said seriously, even at that young age. Young memories can be very strong, especially if they are inculcated with a sense of endearment. So I grew up following my grandfathers example and challenging myself to think things out meticulously before I replied to a question. I recall I spent a long time in his company and listened to him intently even at that young age. All this configured my attitude toward my own childrenindeed, my attitude toward all children.

My son meant that question about UFOs in the aliens are here sense, and he was serious. He almost never asked spurious questions, so I saw an opportunity to provide some important guidance to a young mind about life and living, and how you might demonstrate and sort the real from the mythological, and how good protocols can lead to valid discoveries. Frankly, it was an opportunity to once and for all disaffect him of what I considered an utterly bogus topic. But as I knew little about the subject, I decided to look into it with great care before I dismantled its claims.

My little honcho wasnt beyond dumping me in the quicksand with a loaded question he had previously researched so that he could then watch me squirm for an answer he knew I was unlikely to have. We were always playfully testing each other this way. He had done this before in front of his peers, many times, and I would sometimes come away with raw egg dripping off my face. He used the implement between his ears wickedly well for one so young. I suspected a subterfuge in this particular question, so I requested a rain check on it and the time to give him an informed answer.

So the last thing I expected when I decided more than three decades ago to look seriously into the enigma of the ET phenomenon was to discover that it wasnt about Buck Rogers, Star Wars, space cowboys, Dr. Who, and the USS Enterprise going boldly where no man has gone before. I wanted to disabuse my son of the nonsense of believing in ETs and all the space mumbo jumbo that goes with it. He had a good mind, and I wanted him to use it for something far more important than whimsical, go-nowhere ideas. So I set about finding enough rational evidence to seriously answer his question.

I found there were myriad takes on the subject, from the deeply scholarly to the thoroughly fantastical. Space aliens are the stuff of everyones imagination. Where was I to find the deepest, truest take on it? Since I have a science background, I thought it would take me a week to dismiss any alien presence on our planet as a myth based on the whimsy of the human imagination and condition. It has taken me more than thirty years of research to make it plain that myth is the last thing you could call the alien phenomenon known as the Greys. It has taken hold of me and spun me inside out, upside down, and six ways to Sunday, wrenching apart my ethos and literally everything I have ever held sacred, and has convinced me that I could never have been so wrong about anything. So wrongit was such a lesson in presumptionthat I now even have to check to see if the sun is really in the sky!

So for the readers of this book who may not have read my previous two books on this subject, I pose a few salient questions: Just what are the Greys? Where do they come from? What is their existential base if different from ours? Are they beings we can see, feel, and touch, or are they phantomlike flashes of light or light shadows in the sky? If the Greys are solid, physical phenomena, who or what drives them? How did they get here past Einsteins speed-of-light barrier, E = mc? Where do they come from? If they are flying around in craft, how do they do the things they are seen to do by so many thousands of people, with the same things described from different locations? Are all these people all over the world having the same fits of imagination when they see them? If so, then what is imagination if at any given time thousands perceive the same thing in hundreds of different places at the same time? How can something travel so fast and not kill every being in it, doing instant, ninety-degree turns, as many pilots, both civilian and military, have attested? They would have to withstand a g-force of tens of thousands of pounds pushing down on them, since it appears that these are physical craft that travel at phenomenal rates of acceleration.

In attempting to explain an enigma as strange and bizarre as the phenomenon of the Greys, it is crucial that we understand the factors that define just what we are and what they are in relation to us. If the Greys are real, tangible things and thus measurable with our senses of taste, touch, sight, hearing, and smell, they could be investigated with one set of tools. But what if they are not tangible in that sense but are still more than merely figments of our imagination? What can we use to measure them, then? So many questions, so many answers to discover. I found that the most comprehensive answers, those that reconcile the most questions with the least amount of contradiction, are that they are not only real, but they have to be driven by some sort of mechanical means. Yet no biomass could survive the g-forces involved in their observed movement patterns. That aspect of the phenomenon finally put Alice down the rabbit hole for me.
