A 19th Century Contactee

"The picture on the passed on strikes me as looking a bit adore an alien. Not a real alien, I mean, but one of natives mystic and sociable aliens that were alleged to sojourn the "contactees" of the 1950s. This drawing doesn't arise from the 1950s, tranquil, but from the 1820s. It was fashioned by the artist and clairvoyant writing implement William Blake (1757 -1827) towards the end of his life, and is entitled "The Man Who Qualified Blake Talent in his Dreams". The drawing is one of a series of Wise Heads" that Blake fashioned at the appeal of an mystic named John Varley.

Blake had complete sagacious encounters present his life, and the younger Varley (who is understood to consume "designed sharply all he heard") was keen to get definite of these down on paper. In protection in the midst of the ideas of his time, Blake tended to hold his ethereal ballet company as "angels". A additional UFO fanatic potency say this is emphatically pre-Adamski closeness, and what Blake particularly encountered were misinterpreted aliens. But (as I've understood before) this is boorishly untouchable - it's healthy as effortless that additional alien encounters are misinterpreted angels!

Blake is methodically seen as an into the future forerunner of the New Age leaning. Savor additional New Agers, he was guaranteed that whatever thing the transaction qualified you was dishonest, and he was satisfied by esoteric disciplines adore Gnosticism, alchemy, yoga and Kabbalah. He plane seems to consume spectacular the term "New Age" itself - at bare minimum in its capitalized form (period to be set off, Blake tended to capitalize whatever thing). In the preliminary part to his song "Milton", he wrote: "The Stolen and Perverted Writings of Homer and Ovid; of Plato and Cicero, which all Men penury to contemn; are set up by magic versus the Sublime of the Bible, but when the New Age is at play to Pronounce, all request be set right! And natives Noble Apparatus of the chief ancient and deliberately and professedly Motivated Men, request deterioration their apt standing and the Daughters of Protect shall fit the Daughters of Impression. Shakespeare and Milton were every one curbed by the universal malady and bug from the foolish Greek and Latin slaves of the Sword. Campaign up, O Immature Men of the New Age!"

"The best important and most obvious of the sagacious pictures Blake fashioned for John Varley was the image of a phantom - chief mostly, the Ghost of a Flea" (right). This was, according to Varley's information, a "spiritual spirit" that was summoned by Blake and Varley dressed in a s'eance - period it was obvious deserted to Blake. As sooner than mentioned, Varley "designed sharply all he heard"!
