And yet, “there is some danger of creating a stereotyped idea of UFOs…and imposing this on the evidence,” writes the insightful UFO author Richard L. Thompson. —L.L.
NO LESS SO . . . IT IS JUST AS HAZARDOUS, IF NOT MORE SO . . . TO IMPOSE A PARTICULAR RELIGIOUS PERSPECTIVE'S EXPLANATION ON THE EVIDENCE OUT OF SOCIOLOGICAL, POLITICAL, PSYCHODYNAMIC AND/OR RELIGIOUS FACTORS, NEEDS AND COMPULSIONS . . . ON TYPICAL VISUAL ETC. PHENOMENA WHICH LIKELY WERE AT BEST SOMEWHAT AMBIGUOUS . . .
Or, which may even have been deliberately manipulative TOWARD that particular RC interpretation--as a number of UFO/"ET" visitations have been. Actually, such manifestations have seemingly deliberately played on the inherent perspectives, archetypes, themes of a number of different religious and other major value orientations--particularly those of the NEW AGE genre. It seems that such WATCHERS/FALLEN ANGELS/ET's are skilled and well able to match whatever the expectations are of each of the value groups in a seductive effort toward Pied-Piperly leading them to "ET" desired convictions and conclusions.
And, the general sweep of such seductive imprints onto the different religious value orientations is . . . somewhat generic while often being self-contradictory as well between different visitations, ET sources etc.
The general sweep is apocalyptic--Fatima fits the pattern.
The particulars usually include some variation on humans destroying the environment--making the earth unliveable; war mongering destroying life and the planet etc. Fatima is in that ball park.
Also, the particular "ET" spokescritter typically appears benevolent, authoritative, exhortive etc in seductive ways which increase the likelinhood of the observers looking to such spokescritters and phenomena as being sources of truth, enlightenment and safety in the future. Fatima is well within the ball park on that score, as well.
I believe it’s more of a satanic deception, Quix. Demons can make themselves look like the spirits of the dead.
