In a world where science fiction often blurs with reality, the concept of extraterrestrial beings influencing human life is both intriguing and divisive. Among the organizations embracing extraterrestrial spirituality is the Aetherius Society. Recently, we had the opportunity to delve into this fascinating belief system with Paul Nugent, a director of the Aetherius Society and a former personal assistant to its founder, Dr. George King.
Meet Paul Nugent
Paul Edward Nugent was born in Cambridge, England, in 1958 and brought up in the Church of England, culminating in regular worship and charitable work for the homeless at London’s famous St. Martin-in-the-Fields church in Trafalgar Square, sometimes called “the Parish Church of England.” Having completed a business degree in 1980, he embarked on a four-year study of Eastern philosophy and spent two periods at the New Age community of Findhorn in the north of Scotland. At the same time he was introduced to the cosmic teachings of The Aetherius Society, founded in London in 1955 by Western master of yoga, Dr. George King, becoming a member of the organization in 1986. In 1990 he moved permanently to the Society’s American headquarters in Los Angeles, where, in 1992, he became a personal assistant to Dr. King remaining at his side until Dr. King’s passing in July, 1997. Nugent has been a director of The Aetherius Society since 2001. Since 2024 he has lived in Michigan with his wife, Yuriko.
The Aetherius Society Unveiled
During our conversation with Paul Nugent, he provides a compelling overview of the Aetherius Society—a spiritual organization founded in the mid-1950s by Dr. George King. The society merges Eastern philosophy, Western mysticism, and teachings that emphasize the spiritual evolution of humanity with assistance from cosmic beings.
Paul explains that these advanced extraterrestrial beings, or cosmic masters, are believed to play a significant role in guiding humanity and protecting Earth from disasters. According to the beliefs of the Aetherius Society, the universe is a dynamic spiritual ecosystem where service and sacrifice are fundamental tenets.
Dr. George King's Cosmic Journey
Our conversation takes a fascinating turn as Paul recounts the extraordinary life and spiritual experiences of Dr. George King. Born in 1919, King was a conscientious objector during World War II and this led him to practice yoga intensively. His practices eventually led to a profound spiritual awakening, and according to Paul, in May 1954, Dr. King was contacted by an extraterrestrial intelligence known as Aetherius. This encounter marked the genesis of the Aetherius Society, with Dr. King serving as the voice of interplanetary parliament.
Navigating Cosmic Truths
Paul elucidates the core beliefs of the society, particularly the emphasis on realizing humanity's place in the cosmic framework, underscoring the importance of spiritual love and service. The conversation drifts into the philosophical realm, questioning humanity's often egocentric worldview. Paul encourages us to perceive our existence as part of a vast, interconnected cosmos.
Understanding the Higher Dimensions
A significant portion of our discussion focused on Paul's insights into the higher dimensions and the role of extraterrestrial life within them. Paul explains that in the Aetherius Society's perspective, beings from other planets exist on higher vibrational levels, fostering a spiritual ecosystem without the lower, negative realms associated with humanity’s struggles.
Paul Nugent's Personal Insights
Paul candidly shares his journey and connection to the Aetherius Society. Although he hasn’t personally experienced extraterrestrial contact, he has felt the profundity and sincerity of the society’s teachings and Dr. King's cosmic transmissions, notably the "Twelve Blessings" received from Jesus in 1958. These teachings highlight a philosophy that deeply resonates with those seeking spiritual truth.
The Influence of Cosmic Intelligence
In closing, Paul reinforces the idea that cosmic intelligence operates with love, akin to a parent nurturing a child. These advanced beings, he suggests, see humanity as an integral part of the universal oneness, promoting the idea that love and higher consciousness are key to overcoming earthly challenges.
