DAVIS, Calif.- A California psychologist says human beings may be ready to accept evidence of extra-terrestrial intelligence without widespread panic.
Dr. Albert Harrison of the University of California's Davis campus said such a discovery "may be far less startling for generations that have been brought up with word processors, electronic calculators, avatars and cellphones as compared with earlier generations," The Scotsman reported Tuesday.
Harrison said discovering an alien life-form or signal would be unlikely to cause "widespread psychological disintegration and collapse."
Martin Dominik of Scotland's University of St. Andrews said Earth-like life on planets with similar environments may be a "cosmic imperative" and intelligent extra-terrestrial beings are likely quite similar to humans.

So these blancmanges, blancmange-shaped creatures come from the planet Skyron in the Galaxy of Andromeda. They order 48,000,000 kilts from a Scottish menswear shop ... turn the population of England into Scotsmen (well known as the worst tennis-playing nation on Earth) thus leaving England empty during Wimbledon fortnight! Empty during Wimbledon fortnight ... what's more the papers are full of reports of blancmanges appearing on tennis courts up and down the country - practising. This can only mean one thing!

I realize that California psychologists don’t all deserve attentioni . . . though James Dobson was once such.
In this case I believe he’s tasked with assessing then propagandizing in behalf of setting the stage for just such revelations.
imho, this is yet another INCREMENTAL preparation of the populace for the wider disclosure and DECEPTION.
Worth keeping some tabs on . . . in order to avoid being taken by surprise as that day gets closer.
Thanks Joe.

Was the literature purged concerning UFOs. Not if you read Vedic literature, The Bible, Columbus' account on his great voyage, the letters of Japanese general Yoritsume...
To: JoeProBono
Some folks claim that’s just symbolic etc. etc. etc.
I don’t buy that. There’s too many examples of such from several eras.

You are correct. I was thinking of this Andrea del Verrocchio Baptism of Christ
Which oddly enough has funny little round things shining light on Christ also. I detect a theme here...
