I thought my readers might enjoy and be interested in the provocative exploration of an entirely alien concept of evolution which positions ufo's in the context of same, rather than a rehashing and recycling of the well known ruts of self referential considerations. This revisionist view is largely provided in foundational terms, by the provocative book "The Theory of Celestial Influences" by Rodney Collin, whom you could call a proverbial classmate of mine..I have added some of my own further considerations of his work into the text.

The Solar System As A Polyphase Transformer

Time is the observation of spacial relations, and if we add the factor of time to the concentric orbital rotations of our solar system, perhaps a circle is transformed into a spiral, and the Milky Way appears to be the sheath of a comet and from this point of view one could possibly observe that, in a sense, the repetitive rotation of our solar system is perhaps not quite so static as it is currently observed to be. In the same sense, the common view is that our solar system is a nonsensical collection of whirling balls admidst a void. Perhaps it is something quite different, in that it is a designed reciprocal energy exchange akin to a poly phase transformer, which stores, trans mutates and transmits energy. If one looks at the planetary diameters encircling the sun as secondary windings and compare this sum total of these diameters to that of the sun, as a primary...the reflective capacity of these secondaries distribute the load factor amongst themselves as spiraling windings. In other words, the reflective solar capacity in the spacial relations between the planets orbital positions create a subset of predictable effects.
The Synchronisation of Astronomic Processes In Real Time

Perhaps, if Mr Collins is correct, the ancient astronomical precision of calendars based upon the spacial alignment of the planetary orbits, is also a predictive synchronization and measurement of energetic processes in time, as they impact our own environment in the real time of events. The critical assumption is perhaps that environmental influences may have more of an impact without our own awareness of them and as a consequence, we are not entirely ourselves, the driver of events and more accurately perhaps, the cycle of human behaviors as influenced by the solar systems behavior could be the object of study.

As Above,So below
In other words, by the composition of the human body, some influences may be harmful some may be beneficial in terms of the disposition of the glandular effects upon behavior as indicated by the sets of combinations influences upon them. This of course can be tested in terms of their cyclic effect, or periodicity of events such as war, invention, etc. If so some antediluvian civilisation could have reached an astonishing level of accord and sophistication in their immediate environment by either enhancing or countering these influences through ritualised practices in accordingly a precise synchronisation in you will real time with system needs.
Tampering
Also, should this be true, our planet is not a stand alone proposition upon whom fate has deemed itself to be isolated from it's reciprocal system of equilibrium. Should this proposition be true, Houston...we may have a problem here... in the maintenance of this design....and the repercussions of a re balancing in the primaries load factor.....time to dispatch our research team....to collect data. Earth is becoming a problem first signalled by an indication that upon the thin membrane of it's surface highest trans formative members of this planetary system, have taken a process that occurs on the primary and brought it to a secondary member....the detonation of atomic weapons.
The Contraction of Evolutionary Time In The Growth of Systems
In the human being, as it moves toward an increasingly electronic state in age, we see the observation of spacial relations, in that time begins to increase in speed....whereas in a younger state, time apparently moves much slower.

At its optimum speed,or if you wiil, at escape velocity in a trajectory toward a transformation of state, the puppet falls to the ground and the release occurs on the surface of this secondary on a enormous and continuous planetary scale, that encompasses to a certain extent, a thermostatic release of where the induction process recycles the formerly stored potential toward larger purposes. Ritual sacrifice may perhaps be a distant and profane dim rememberance of a now misapplied principle. The guiding principle of feeding this process intentionally to avoid a catastrophic harvest through effort apparently was innovated over time to produce a fundamentalist version of this principal manifested as a proverbial ( pardon the pun)..."short cut."

Of course, sometimes a larger release is required, especially if the system becomes unstable. A passage from the Christian text of Revelation makes the point bluntly:
"And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe....."
Whether from a geological, cultural, technological or evolutionary passage of epochs....the turn over of time increases exponentially just as it does on it's cellular human level. And the evolution of the individual cell, the human is marked by developmental stages...in evolutionary terms...the testing of the physical body...all the way to the testing of the mind, which begins seriously at around the age of twelve,this can also be seen in the larger body of humanity... which is where we may find ourselves on the larger scale of comparatively similar species which may occur elsewhere. We are being faced with the exercise of one developmental aspect of our evolution that has not been formerly required..in the "mental" solution of a problem...not a physical challenge. This contraction, therefore, should it exists, should be easily calculated on a exponential and predictive basis upon the observation of these processes.
Here Come The UFOs...
This will be in Part Two wherein we will study the anomalies of the original unidentified flying objects in the asteroid belt, that dark hoard of chaos within this system and will explore the esoteric ramifications of this from both a historical and predictive point of observation. Is this a mechcanism of self correction within the larger system? Is this an object of concern for any extraterrestrials should they exist? Absolutely.
