A Psychiatric Reclassification of UFO Extraterrestrial Experiences
The Canadian Nation
Fri December 14, 2007
Area: Phoenix (Prescott)
Phoenix, ARIZONA - Rebecca Hardcastle is presenting a paper on Exoconsciousness and Psychopathology at the American Philosophical Association, Eastern Division, Karl Jaspers Society of North America, on Saturday, December 29, 2007, at the Marriott Inner Harbor in Baltimore, Maryland.
In the legacy of John Mack, Professor of Psychiatry Harvard Medical School, Hardcastle advocates for a reclassification of the UFO extraterrestrial experience from pathological to normal. She bases this reclassification on 1.) the experience of quantum consciousness and 2.) the culture of contact evident in mainstream media coverage of UFOs such as Presidential Candidate, Dennis Kucinich's, sighting and former Governor of Arizona, Fife Symington's, press conference calling for full disclosure of UFO related military and government information.
Hardcastle created the concept of Exoconsciousness to describe the extraterrestrial origins, dimensions, and abilities of human consciousness. She maintains, "Consciousness is our most precious natural resource."
According to Hardcastle, "mental illnesses are a by-product of the individual's ability to function in culture and community. As culture transforms with information, such as disclosure of extraterrestrial visitation, new communities and belief systems form. These changes in culture generate possibilities for redefining experiences, such as UFO extraterrestrial contact, as normal.
