One question keeps resurfacing across different fields: are the entities people encounter truly spiritual in nature, or are they something else entirely?
Corrado Malanga, through hypnotic regression, proposed that certain non‑human intelligences could attach themselves to human consciousness, influencing behavior and perception. His work frames these entities as alien in origin, functioning almost like parasitic systems.
Similarly, researchers such as Budd Hopkins described abduction phenomena as a widespread and consistent experience, involving non‑human beings interacting with humans for unclear purposes.
On the other hand, Western esotericism has long spoken of demons, spirits, and non‑physical intelligences operating across subtle planes. Even Aleister Crowley described contact with Lam — an entity that, by modern standards, appears strikingly “extraterrestrial.”
This raises an interesting possibility: are we dealing with different interpretations of the same phenomenon? Are “demons” and “aliens” simply symbolic frameworks applied to encounters with non‑human intelligence?
If so, what is their function? Guidance, limitation, experimentation — or something else entirely?
I’m curious how others here interpret these overlaps between esotericism, psychology, and ufology.
