UFO Cults Are Flourishing in New Age Circles

CRI Statement

A leading East Coast New Age magazine, New Frontier, recently ran a “dirt for sale” advertisement in its November issue. But this one had a twist — the dirt had allegedly been supercharged by extraterrestrials (ETs). It stated: UFO LANDING site radiates cosmic energy alters psychic awareness. Soil samples $5 + p&h.

Not surprisingly, the Boulder, Colorado firm that ran the ad did not respond to a letter asking for proof that there was something unusual about the dirt.

While it is not immediately known how many people actu­ally sent in their $5, the appear­ance of such an ad is not unusu­al. Alongside all the ads bought by New Agers — peddling crystals, “power within” seminars, and channeling sessions — are news bits about recent UFO landings, announcements of upcoming UFO conferences, and advertisements from some of the nation’s leading names in the field of UFOs and the New Age. Some of the ads are placed by alleged “walk-ins,” people who claim that ETs have literally invaded their bodies and can be summoned up (sometimes for a fee) to share wisdom and Ann Landers type advice.

In short, more and more peo­ple today are saying UFOs have landed. And while proof that they have seems consistently elusive, it is clear that the phe­nomenon of UFOlogy — a fas­cination with UFOs and alleged space creatures — has landed squarely in the middle of the New Age movement.

What is behind the recent resurgence of interest in UFOs, particularly in New Age circles?

You were saying ...

I am into genealogy and so help me, we think some of my ancestors were space aliens since we can find no trace of them before they were adults.

Well, some of mine who are alive now, act like they're space aliens ... :-)

[Outlaw Woman]

I understand. :)

Thanks. You made me laugh and I needed that today. One of my bestest cousins died today. We grew up together. She will be missed but she is out of her suffering from 3 kinds of cancer. A good thing did happen. A niece's daughter had a baby boy this morning so one life left and another came into this world. He weighed 8 lbs 9 oz and is a cutie. His picture is already on facebook. We did not have a clue that a baby was due. A complete surprise.
I know all about these relatives. We all have them.

...we think some of my ancestors were space aliens since we can find no trace of them before they were adults...

If I didn't know who my parents were, I'd believe that I'm an ET. Sometimes I don't think I came from this weird place.

I know that feeling.

This world is not my HOME.

Great post, much information and current!

Thanks!

[esquirette]

I agree. RAD is epidemic. Let’s face it - two working parents, coupled with public school is the undoing of our kids.

[Quix]

THANKS TONS for your kind reply.

Your knowledge in this area is very significant and I’m humbled by your kind words.

[Quix]

THANKS FOR YOUR KIND REPLY.

INDEED . . . the unraveling of our kids, our families, our neighborhoods, our cities, our counties, our states, our nation, our culture.

The enemy achieves a great victory when he gets parents to chase chaff instead of chase after intimacy with God and God’s priorities for relationships with HIM and with each other.

After reading again thru these posts I don't think we are actually as far apart as might appear. we just view it differently. I do not believe in Aliens from other planets, universes as is depicted often by Ufologists.....I do believe there is a war which is taking place in the heavens ( a sphere of influence in the heavenlies which affects men and leaders here on earth).. between Gods angels and demonic beings which plays out here on earth and the churches prayers play a huge part via their prayers in opposing the enemy.

Perhaps it's just how we differ in what is seen and what is unseen. I do not think the UFO sightings are actually ships with aliens in them....rather a diversion/ deception from the hard work of prayer,.... (”we wrestle against powers and principalities (where) in high places.” How? via prayer),... and presenting the gospel of Christ to the unsaved. Satan loves to deceive and occupy peoples time and money and talents away from Gods work.

Though the UFO Phenomenon may be interesting for some to look at and investigate, is it not enough to just be aware of satans devices? I cannot help but wonder if those same efforts were invested in the work we are here for....well imagine the outcome.

[Quix]

I don’t doubt that each of us has somewhat different assignments.

[caww]

Christians generally feel that way at times and rightfully so....this world is not our home...we are just passing thru to be sure. I don’t think God wants us to become too comfortable here, and besides we live work and pray in the war zone for the hearts and souls of men. I think that is why I have learned to hold onto things loosely...it’s all temporary here...that which is most valuable is our families and the relationships we form..with Christ being the center of it all.

[caww]

Thank you Quix....I agree with what you are saying here and expect this will be quite helpful to the family and even if they might already be doing this it’s a great thing to have confirmation from one such as yourself. Good job Quix.

[caww]

God is the giver of life so even though the geneology might not be clear the source of their being surely is.

THX for your kind reply.

ALL:

CHARLES HALL’S 4 BOOKS: MILLENIAL HOSPITALITY I, II, III, & IV

are quite a narrative.

The link below documents research with other witnesses which corroborate some of Hall’s story.

His narrative about his relationships with the “Tall Whites” and their fierce protectiveness over their children etc. is at least interesting. He has a number of videos which are also interesting.

Here’s the corroboration doc:

Video:

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=2713166860738963801#

It remains to be seen what part in the END TIMES the “Tall Whites” race of critters will likely play.

They purportedly live to be 800 years old; treasure their children enormously “WE love our children more than you love yours.” . . . have nervous systems that function much faster than ours . . . can pass for humans with sunglasses . . . literally kill humans for even just touching their children or themselves and may come close or actually kill humans for just saying something negative to their children. . . . purportedly take military folks on excursions to the moon fairly routinely. . . .

Thanks for the ping!

[LibertyRocks]

Trying to catch up to the thread, now! I had some fun today with that Obama Screen Name thread, and now have 5 pages of pings from that thread alone! LOL Thanks for your additions on that thread, BTW! :)

Anyway, thanks so much for the pings, and the links. So much information to absorb! I don’t know if there’s anything I can add to the discussion at this point, but I’ll definitely read through it all again... There were some points made by you and others I found myself nodding my head to, that’s for sure.

It seems to me like involvement with cult groups have some very striking similarities to abusive relationships, and gang membership as well... I suppose what I’m seeing is a very similar pattern of behavior among those who would take advantage of others, really.

More later on the thread if there’s anything I think might be important to mention...

[LibertyRocks]

Just to make a quick note here — caww mentioned our prayers as helping in the war that is being waged in the spiritual realm. I couldn’t agree more with that. It’s the only way we as humans can ‘help’. We truly are not equipped to do any more than that... [Incidentally, this truth was one of the things told to me DURING my experience! I just wanted to make a note of that...]

And, as you pointed our caww, spreading the Good News of Salvation in Christ IS another such weapon - or tool, if you prefer.

I honestly don’t think the three of us are that far apart as how we are seeing these matters. I think the only difference here is exactly how we believe the battles being waged manifest within our world.

That’s all! LOL No need to really reply as you’ve both seemed to work things out... I think the note is more for me as I am still working on writing it all out, as well as noting things from scripture.

Again, thanks to BOTH of you for the questions, and the discussion. It has been a blessing for me.

My prayers continue for the FReeper’s family member mentioned in the OP - indeed for their whole family...

Good post, Quix. I would only add this:

Encourage benign distractions.

I know it is hard to fight from such an oblique angle, but cults and gangs require attention/attendance in order to keep control.

Direct opposition to the “facts” as the person sees them will only encourage rebellion and the dismissal of your efforts.

But prolonged distraction lends time for the control of the cult/gang to wear off a bit, and room for an alternative thought can cause it (the alt. thought) to bloom...

Now then, here is the tricky part: What is a “benign distraction” powerful enough to hold the subject’s interest?

In our extended family’s case it was gang membership... and a cute little girl from Missouri was the encouraged distraction. Added to that a couple of old friends with Harleys and gypsy leather, and a long tour of the western US for a summer... and the bond was broken.

Now, I know it seems wrong to suggest Harleys and gypsy leather, and a length of time away from home with a girl in tow... But the Lord works in mysterious ways... All of them found Jesus at a roadside preacher’s tent... That girl is now my niece-in-law... and they are settled in and making a family... It’s all good... If you don’t mind gypsy leather :D
