......”because they BELIEVE in UFOs and that there are extra-terrestrial”......
I think it is important that what one believes or wants to believe is important to consider.....one might imagine possible in Extra Terrest. but the reality is there has not been evidence this is so.
Anyone can Believe in anything but it does not mean it is so. Some of the illusion games and such you would swear are moving or turning a certain way ...but they are stationary...our eyes view things a certain way so when you add belief into the equation that hightens the expectation levels substantially.
Add in the idea of raising ones consciousness thru the various levels then one can believe they are visiting planets or as is stated in the New Age experience...astral-projection...and believe they are actually doing so...but the reality is it’s a fantasy.
“...as is stated in the New Age experience...astral-projection...and believe they are actually doing so...but the reality is it’s a fantasy...”
Or, for some, like the Heaven’s Gate leader, forget his name, it was delusional thinking.
But really, what it is for people is they feel a need to fill some void in their lives, insecurity, need for love, something. So, I would say the answer is study what they feel they are missing and work from that point.
The foolishness these groups offer is loss of time accomplishing the real goal.
It would REALLY be a LOT wiser
for a lot of folks on the topic to be MUCH better informed.
Evidently, including, you.
