Are we being observed and visited by alien beings from another world or perhaps another space-time dimension? Thousands upon thousands of accounts of UFOs and alien abductions suggest that something is happening that we do not yet understand. Recently, even mainstream media organizations like the New York Times and the Washington Post have started to report on the bizarre sightings made by military pilots around the world. Are we moving toward a deeper level of Disclosure? And if so, what will be disclosed? How can we best understand this phenomenon?

Considered one of the foremost authors on esoteric, occult, and shamanic topics, Daniel Pinchbeck (Breaking Open the Head, 2012: The Return of Quetzalcoatl, How Soon Is Now) turns his attention to the question of aliens in The Occult Control System. Following thinkers like Patrick Harpur, Carl Jung, Rudolf Steiner, John Lamb Lash, and Laura Knight-Jadczyk, he proposes that the unfolding alien narrative is part of an occult or hyper-dimensional control system designed to keep humanity locked into a certain frequency of consciousness and being. As we awaken to our situation, we can find the tools to break out of this intricately designed prison and access our true potential.
