From Telic Thoughts

SETI and Intelligent Design
by MikeGene
The people at SETI have several useful lessons to teach when it come to detecting non-human design.

Seti fans have a problem. Maybe the aliens are too stuck up to talk to peons.
Try something simple, on this planet: locate the the ‘frequency band’ of the invisible lamas of Tibet, and, studying Tibetan history, see if you can detect the element of design in Tibetan history (not including verbal tales of such, real evidence).
When you are done, send one an email

    [...] The previous post referenced the Seti issue connecting that spontaneously with an earthbound ‘esoteric’ (a word to be banished from my vocab) sector. But this question is actually … an underground strain of sufism, where there is a tradition about Sirius, aliens, this having already reached book form in some other fashion (cf. The Sirius Mysteries, or something like that, from the seventies). It would be interesting if someone would clarify all that (it was actually mentioned by Gurdjieff, who promptly covered it up again with a glib ‘bury the dog deeper’). So note: NYRB has an article on Doris Lessing, which mentions her semi-scifi novels, no doubt under the influence of Idries Shah, a giveaway here. I have little to say about this (and I am most certainly not saying I believe anything whatever about any of this) since I find the nine times out of ten sufis simply issue disinformation. However, this question might help stranded ’sufi fans’ caught on sufi fish hooks quietly free themselves and slip away to something more productive than standing in line to be eaten alive by sharks. Anyway, if you read the past fifty years of pulp science fiction, plus dig into the lives of the authors, and dig a bit more you will discover somewhere in there a ’sufi’ school. Lessing must have picked up some ‘leftovers’ in her work, which must obviously be based on some insider stuff from her contacts with the Shah gang. [...]
