Sirians

XT/5/C

The Sirius connection

Built on an argument about ancient astronomical knowledge.

Popularised by The Sirius Mystery in 1976, which argued that Dogon knowledge of Sirius B implied ancient contact. The channelled Sirians who followed have almost nothing to do with the original argument: a common pattern where a scholarly claim is absorbed by a tradition that does not need it.

The scholarly argument and the channelled tradition share only a name; the second has the practice and the price list.

Terms used on this page

XT: extraterrestrial, biological

Origin code

Claimed to have travelled here from another star system in an ordinary physical body.

Degree of embodiment: 5, an ordinary biological body

Scale, 1 to 5

5 is an ordinary biological body. 4 is physical but manifests oddly. 3 comes and goes. 2 is energetic or subtle. 1 is consciousness with no persistent form. Note that this tends to fall as a tradition ages.

C: contactee tradition

Source code

Traceable to one named person's claimed meetings. Detailed, often internally consistent, and rarely corroborated by anyone who did not read the first account.

The Dogon and Sirius B

Argument, 1976

Robert Temple argued Dogon knowledge of an invisible companion star implied ancient contact. Later fieldwork questioned whether that knowledge was indigenous rather than acquired from European visitors earlier in the century.

Channelling

Term

Material spoken or written by a person said to be relaying a non-human intelligence. It shifts the evidence question entirely: there is no encounter to examine, only a text.

Engaged through channelling

Practice-side

Contact in this tradition means trance, mediumship or automatic writing. The risks are the practice's, not the entity's: dissociation, sustained altered states, and the difficulty of telling one's own material from something external. Least suitable for anyone with a history of psychosis, mania or dissociation.

Commercial ecosystem

Documented harm

A paid economy has grown around this tradition, whether readings, courses, retreats and private sessions, or books, tours and media that keep promising more. Not automatically predatory, but it does mean some of what you will read was written to sell something, and that people in distress are a market.

Deliberate contact work

Read this first

The hazard in this subject attaches to the method, not to which name you aim it at. Ouija work, invocation, sustained channelling, induced hypnagogia, deliberate sleep deprivation and hypnotic regression are the practices associated with difficulty, and a session aimed at a benevolent civilisation is not safer than one aimed at something considered lower. What raises risk is doing it alone, doing it repeatedly, doing it while sleep-deprived, and doing it with an existing vulnerability to psychosis, mania or dissociation. People who get into trouble here overwhelmingly got there through practice, not through reading.

Who should be careful

Practice-side

Anyone with a personal or family history of psychosis, bipolar disorder or dissociative conditions, anyone in acute crisis, and anyone isolated from people who would notice a change in them. Intensive contact practice is destabilising by design (that is what it is for), and destabilisation lands hardest on people already close to an edge.
