really neat key words! followrather, overlordrus, swampgas
All this UFO crap talk would cease to exist if Karl Rove just paid Gannon/Gurkett to write that aliens are here to impose a flat tax, get rid of Social Security and stop gay marriage.
I found this one in the X-Files, 2nd drawer, blue folder.
A lot of wise statements in your post IMHO.
I do believe that in the literature, there's enough assertions from enough disconnected and diverse sources that the net effect for me is
that there is SOME evidence of other planet ET's.
And, I personally bleieve that when Christ said rule and reign with Him--He was logically speaking of countless galaxies and endless ages.
Just the Scriptures about the seed of Abraham outnumbering the stars, TO ME, implies at least man being on other planets. I don't think it's much of a leap from there to imagine other races on other planets.
Then there's the:
ALL CREATION GROANS, WAITING EXPECTANTLY, EAGERLY FOR THE MANIFESTATION OF THE SONS OF MAN--evidently to rule in love and justice over all creation.
Certainly in some Biblical sense animals and even plants and rocks evidently could have some sort of something eager for God to deliver it of the grief os sin soaked creation.
But it's most logical to me, that all creation also includes other ET's on other planets in other galaxies.
It certainly should be for the unbelievers!
Okay, it's late and there are few people to read this ephemera anyway, ahem, but here's what happened to me during my episode.
I "went downstairs" and tried to get the attention of my kids, who were playing a video game, and they, of course, ignored their discorporate father. I went somewhere else where I was gently, but firmly taken in hand by a guy who took me "back to my body," and that was the end of it.
Kids, I found out later, were playing a videogame at the time.
No aliens, don't know what the Hell was going on, but I have never been quite so comfortable with my understanding of what is and what isn't since :-)
Rational explanation: mind was freaking out because something odd, but physiologically explainable was happening, so it began to frantically try to make sense of the experience. Kids playing a videogame isn't a bad guess, so my "dream" happened to correspond with reality. When the "natural" dream didn't help, I "dreamed" something more exotic to allow my consciousness to handle things. If I was into aliens, it might have been an alien; and it might have looked just like everyone knows aliens look, since we've seen them a million times in popular media. Since I wasn't, my encounter was a more generic, not quite an angel, but defiinitely a purposeful authority figure of some sort.
Do I believe that explanation?
I agree.
Essentially.
To the right is Iapetus, moon of Saturn.
Part of the Gospel message is
that NONE of us has the CAPACITY to lastingly, persistently be a truly good person in our own strength.
That ALL of us require a transformation via Christ's Blood and God's Holy Spirit to even begin to be persistently good.
Well FYI I have been on this site for many years and only started recently posting on the "MS is evil" threads, mainly because I am sickened by all the anti-capitalists that choose to support communists like Richard Stallman and his communistic movement instead. Whether you realize the danger he represents as well as I, is apparently something we disagree on.
Well, we don't see unfinished ones. So nobody ever got tired making one? Nobody ever got a cell phone call and had to leave it undone? There was never a sudden lightning storm when they were busy?
If there were alot or even a few unfinished crop circles, you can bet your arse the professional debunkers would be waving it in our face day and night.
But they don't. They're silent on the subject. That makes me think there are very, very few, if any, unfinished crop circles.
And that by itself is a strong argument that something else is involved here.
I don't recall what was simulation and not simulation.
LOL.
:-)
True. I don't need to get territorial at all. Not really my style or perference anyway.
I just come to these threads a bit . . . primed--to be wary and maybe overly defensive.
I get annoyed overly easily with naysayers who pretend tons of expertise in this or that professional area. And when it comes to psych, I'm overly prone to saying--JUST A DARN MINUTE!
Sorry. Thanks.
Thanks. NO sweat. I likely won't be able to make it a priority any time soon. So, was leaning on your indulgence and experties, memory. Thanks much.
I agree about that.
Very graceful! I am impressed. Usually we get out backs up and insult each other.
Lately I have noted that Google has made so much info available and people just know a lot more about things that they once didn't know about. And any medical condition, why people become experts. And FR is full of experts on every esoteric subject you can think of!
They ALL don't.
Bad English is an equal opportunity flaw.
Am honored by your contributions.
