I am sure you know there are many other possible worldviews on this subject.

My favorite “expert”—far outside the two alternatives you presented:

The short version of his view is that human perception, technology, religion, philosophy etal is inadequate for this task.

It is like asking ants to explain the existence of humans—it just does not compute.

Our failure to understand what is going on tells us a whole lot about us—and not much about them.

Point of Convergence finds its meaning within esoteric ways of thinking. For instance, within the mystical pantheist worldview of global and national occult elitists, Baphomet is an esoteric symbol representing the merging or converging of opposites, ie., man and woman converge into transgender; transgender gains enlightenment (or illumination) by converging its mind with androgynous divine one substance or Consciousness. Here is an example of the ‘entangling of consciousness’ with Consciousness.

As for extraterrestrials, near-death experiences, remote viewing, etc. all belong within the mystical pantheist and occult category, ie., shamanism.
