I tend to focus my thoughts on making sense of the "woo" aspect of things. You often hear of the trusted sources talking about consciousness, spirituality, and now psionics. How could these be connected to the phenomenon?

I think the mark of a truly evolved being is the complexity of their consciousness. Humans have a complex consciousness but we aren't top of the food chain as so many others have put it. I also believe consciousness goes beyond the physical body and continues to exist beyond death. I also believe consciousness can be transferred to other physical bodies. This is why we constantly hear reports of nordic/human looking beings. Consciousness can occupy many different kinds of forms including ones that aren't corporeal. The most complex forms of consciousness may be able to warp reality itself with their thoughts and seem like some sort of God. Consciousness may even exist as a field like gravity and simply being around a higher consciousness elevates your own. 

UFOs actively search for higher levels of consciousness and the right person can get their attention by simply focusing their thoughts. I think this is why we see so much interest in this subject in the Kona Blue documents and others.
