Since my return from the Research and Witness Convention,
see: http://hpanwo-tv.blogspot.com/2020/03/rawcon-2020.html,
I've been thinking a lot about my life; in particular my relationships with
others. It's sobering to think that almost my entire social life is online; in
fact when my internet was cut off a few weeks ago I honestly felt like I was on
a desert island. This is a common complaint among people who have the kinds of
ideas that you read about on HPANWO Voice. I have a family, but they have their
own lives. My daughter is now an adult; in fact she hits her quarter-century
this month. She has her friends and work colleagues to hang out with. I split
up with "Sue Ustane" in 2016. Since leaving the hospital I do not
have any close friends of the kind I had there. There are several porters I am
still in touch with, but I only see them every few months. UFO/paranormal/conspiracy
theory conferences are literally the only occasions where I can interact with
others honestly and openly. This is probably why I find them so emotionally
intense. The UFO/para/con community is a thin sprinkling of individuals scattered
across the world. We only usually socialize at all on the net. However, some
people do succeed in making contact with others in the area where they live and
form social circles in "meatspace". For example Truth Seekers North
East, see: https://hpanwo-tv.blogspot.com/2019/05/truth-seekers-north-east-5-off-duty.html,
and the East Anglia UFO Group, see: https://hpanwo-tv.blogspot.com/2018/02/seti-and-ufos.html.
My hometown is sadly a "sheeple" stronghold and has no such
organization. Therefore the solution to my problem is to become proactive and
try and set one up myself where I live, which is Oxford
UK . I have put
an advertisement in a local classifieds page which reads: "Are you interested in UFO's, the paranormal or government
cover-ups? Do you live in Oxford
or the surrounding area? Then why not join Dreaming Saucers? We are a friendly
local meet-up group for like-minded people who love talking about the above
subjects. Email Ben at bennyjay74@gmx.co.uk for details." I have also
set up a Facebook group, see: https://www.facebook.com/groups/230549361452790/.
This group is set to Private because some parties might need personal and
professional confidentiality. It is only open to people from Oxford
or nearby locations. I have decided to stick with the "Dreaming Saucers"
franchise because I like it and it combines the subject matter with local
identity. I would also like to hold a second Dreaming Saucers conference at
some point and with other people on my side in Oxford
this will be a lot easier. I know that there can be hazards when reaching out
to strangers in this manner and I will keep my personal details private. I will
only meet with other members in a public place. However, if my plan works then
it could be a new lease of life for me, and for others. Who knows how many tin
foil hat-wearing solitary individuals there are in Oxford
stumbling around in the dark thinking they are the only one.
