Speech for MENSA Convention, 10/29/72 (1) - John Keel

Here's the first of a three-part address summing up Keel's thoughts on Life, The Universe, and Everything. John attacks "wishful thinking" behind flying saucers and religion in general. Yet Keel sees hope, as he did in a 1970 speech for the Humanist Society, from "constant manifestations of some unknown force which...is now leading us into a great new adventure into the human mind itself." Keel confesses he's adopted Charles Fort's notions of a "universal mind," listing in this segment and in Speech for MENSA Convention, 10/29/72 (2) examples of its possible "insanity" from time immemorial. Again, parallels are drawn here with the saucer mythos and in Keel's concluding Speech for MENSA Convention, 10/29/72 (3). But here he suggests there just may be an overall pattern. As in his Humanist speech Keel predicts a "great global change." "The present psychic explosion is leading millions to consider cosmic questions they never even thought of before." Yet in this 1972 presentation he seems less confident of the timing or ultimate results from this comparative awakening. It's a stark, powerful speech, and reflective of the thinking in Keel's 1970 work Operation Trojan Horse, published by Anomalist Books. (WM)
