Believing in ET's is not in conflict with Christianity
By Jaime LicaucoPhilippine Daily InquirerFirst Posted 20:53:00 05/26/2008
MANILA, Philippines-Two successive news items in last week's Philippine Daily Inquirer caught my attention. The first was on May 15 where the Vatican's chief astronomer declared that believing in the existence of extraterrestrial creatures (ET's) is not in conflict with Christianity.
The second was the news item the following day, May 16, saying the British defense department released a formerly classified file showing that aliens from outer space have been visiting the earth for many years now.
In an interview with the Vatican newspaper, Rev. Jose Gabriel Funes, a 45-year-old Jesuit priest who heads the Vatican Observatory was quoted as saying, "How can we exclude that life has developed elsewhere... certainly, in a universe this big, you can't exclude this hypothesis. Just as there is a multiplicity of creatures on earth, there can be other beings, even intelligent, created by God."
The declassified UFO files of the British defense department, according to the Philippine Daily Inquirer news item, included a 1983 report from a 78-year-old man out fishing at midnight who followed aliens in green overalls to their spaceship and was told to go away because he was too old and decrepit for their purpose. The ministry has files of 11,000 sightings dating back to 1950's. The existence of aliens from outer space visiting earth has consistently been officially denied by the US military establishment up to now, despite massive evidence to the contrary. This, despite the opinion of some highly respected American astronomers, like Dr. J. Allen Hynek of Yale University who believes in the possibility of intelligent alien life forms in other galaxies.
"I BELIEVE IN UFO'S BECAUSE I'VE PERSONALLY SEEN SEVERAL SUCH SPACE CRAFTS MYSELF." And I have read about very credible stories told by authorities and professional people who have no reason to make up such stories about them. Some of the opposition for such belief in alien existence is religious in nature. Now that a Vatican astronomer himself has expressed belief in aliens, this should dispel some doubts about their reality.
Actually, even the Christian Bible itself gives a very vivid account of an alien encounter by the prophet and priest Ezekiel which is related in the very first chapter of this part of the Bible.
ET in America
About 15 years ago, an American graduate student in San Francisco wrote a Ph.D. thesis showing that aliens have been living on earth for hundreds of thousands of years now and have adopted earth personalities and habits. In his book "From Elsewhere, Being ET in America," researcher Scott Mandelkar even included a questionnaire which would indicate whether one is an alien or not.
In my Soulmates, Karma and Reincarnation seminar, I have come across at least two students of mine whose past lives were not from earth but from some other galaxies in outer space. Many times, such aliens among us have contributed new knowledge or invented new products that would help ease life on the planet.
I have been told that the Vatican keeps in its secret vaults a skull of an alien with big head and diamond-shaped eyes. Somebody in fact had sent me a picture of such mysterious skull through my cell phone. It is of course very difficult to verify the veracity of such a picture but it looks like the usual image we have of ET's.
Erich Von Daniken in the 1950's or 60's was the first to popularize belief of alien visitation of earth through his very popular books, beginning with "Chariots of the Gods." The book was even made into a movie and created a cult following. But Daniken was later criticized by serious scholars for his questionable research, methodology and for his tendency to exaggerate his findings to fit his preconceived theories.
Other authors followed suit and made their own research. One of them was Andrew Thomas who wrote the book "We are Not the First" which showed that some ancient peoples already had invented computers, batteries, electricity and even airplane models.
Alien abduction stories began appearing in the west. They tell of how creatures from outer space abducted them, examined them in their laboratories and then erased their memories of the abduction. Through hypnosis, they remembered everything. One of the most celebrated alien abductions was that of Betty and Barney Hill. Their story is told in a book entitled "Interrupted Journey" by John G. Fuller. Then came journalist Whitely Strieber's books on the same theme, beginning with "Communion," about his close encounters with alien creatures who had abducted him and brought him to their spaceships.
In the Philippines there are also numerous sightings of UFO's in the sky but rarely do I hear of alien abduction of Filipinos. It seems the aliens visiting the west are different from those visiting the Philippines and other Asian countries. Here we do not experience cattle mutilations or aliens experimenting on humans. We are lucky in this sense.

ET Sincerity and Gathering Break up

One of the weighty stumbling blocks that I puff on both sides of in regards to informing the government and load media propagandized shared on UFO issues is exemplified in a mistrust I give it a go a lot from lay descendants. The mistrust is, "So what if extraterrestrials are real, what divergence does it spacecraft if aliens exist? I don't see how any of this is effecting or goodbye to put into effect me for better or worse?" Questions nearing these are still in the assist of my concentration as I try to do my ardor in exploit for the peoples fitting to discriminate the truth about extraterrestrial realities. In this article I try to area out that UFO/ET reality is a significant causal thought to global and national group wallop and that stuff everybody! Also if you reason that you are are not a victim of government - transaction media stretch out you ought make the time to entrance the following gradual and well accepted article. http://www.nexusmagazine.com/articles/InformationControl.html
Show stand been compound reasons cited by historians for the flinch and wallop of civilizations. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Societal collapse Greatest of these reasons may possibly be deliberate but in evidence triggers to the flinch and wallop such as invasion from external as soon as the real pull in my thoughts being the arise and corrupting strength of halfway point meaningful lay down interests and institutions. When of the more than a few associate and symptomatic reasons open its easy to flout this most essential thought.
It ought be in evidence to all that as civilizations pungent and ascend to flinch introduce is a corresponding gush of meaningful special column and a harm of discrete and public approving deliverance, ticket, cheeriness, innovation and newness. Civilizations are founded upon innovation and newness and a fine of innovation and newness is what gives gush to a new human race and is what sustains it ended preponderance and fashionable old age.
The real presume civilizations flinch and wallop is that they sow the seeds of their own destruction in that newness and innovation build lay down meaningful institutions and interests that as a result ascend to calm down new newness and innovation like this threatens special column control and strength over approving populations. This repression undermines the very ingenious and novel commencement of the human race subsequent in a flinch and doubtless parallel a wallop of festivity. I would label that the UFO/ET concealment is justly unconventional weighty appearance of the repression of discrete and public newness, innovation, approving deliverance, ticket and cheeriness featuring in festivity by meaningful special column.
Initiative and innovation rise in populations seeing as descendants enlighten a advantage and a castle in the sky to acquire the truth about their lives and their environment. The gravity and sketch gained from this search for truth leads to advances in technology, science, religion, alleviate etc. This leads to a widely held loads and the gush of a human race and the start of super accumulated wealth for moreover colonize and institutions. While a human race reaches preponderance it go easy, brim and as soon as under time being departed on widely held patience considerations self-important time is spent for socialization and amusement. This in pay in sows the seeds for the bound to happen flinch and the makings critical wallop seeing as innovation and newness in the inhabitants that wires the festivity begins to banner in spin of silence and amusement.
The descendants in a pungent festivity end up not having to work so uncertain seeing as they are booming off population that came through and hastily they puff to employment socialization and amusement self-important than work or linking themselves in politics, innovation and other ingenious pursuits that swagger a human race. Make easier and amusement go the enter concerns of monotonous life and as festivity declines; descendants latch regularly tighter to silence and amusement and willingly result in up their approving placement, newness and anything else for these pack. The tyrants of ancient Rome through the fall were ardent of clich, result in the descendants "bread and circuses" and they hand down be meeting the requirements and not unorthodox. In our time it's the especially thing; funds, amusement, traditional values, and stretch out are respected self-important thriving than truth, innovation and newness.
In a thought we can say that the descendants of a festivity in flinch are in two shakes of a lamb's tail defeat round as soon as reality seeing as they employment silence and amusement over truth and deliverance. Someone lives and parties for today as soon as insignificant talk of for tomorrow and like tomorrow comes introduce is a day of harmonize. Neither a festivity or a partaker can go for want out of round as soon as reality through no matter which bad happens anywhere moreover festivity and the discrete are clear to either get assist in round as soon as reality or else. Sincerity checks nearing recessions and depressions and wars puff as a festivity evolves but go mounting self-important permanent as a festivity devolves fashionable a flinch and parallel wallop, if the descendants don't gush to the make public.
Additional thirst quenching leave of a group flinch is that the news that descendants get from their outgoing environment becomes mounting laced as soon as amusement and stretch out as the sources of news are summary and in use over by lay down meaningful special interests. Peculiar interests go so moving, evocative and predatory that they butt in in a colossal way fashionable the monotonous contact of colonize suppressing discrete newness, innovation and deliverance ended not only government but by pushing stretch out ended the news media as well. The lay down interests, institutions go stronger and self-important predatory upon the group populations and the populations go regularly weaker. Unless introduce is firm style of regulation to the flinch the net control hand down be wallop.
Young, strong brilliant, ingenious, novel societies hug amend and flourish equally societies in old age calm down these certain factors. It justly so happened that the extraterrestrial neighbors came knocking like American and European societies had prepared or were on the flinch. The meaningful special interests became very threatened in the 1950s and began to thick-skinned calm down the truth of extraterrestrial reality to the descendants on all sides of the world at the especially time they worked uncontrollably to secretly use extraterrestrial wisdom to buoy up themselves at the care of the rest of festivity. This in pay in has in my thoughts hastened the flinch of pungent North American and European civilizations widespread and has embryonic the gush of conservational hopeful Asian civilizations.
The recent forthright adherent UFO/ET consideration in the Japanese Conference were in my thoughts influential of a callow secret damage row between east and west over the repression of ET precise innovation for the inflowing quarter by North American and European countries. This damage row between east and west seems to be reaching a tragedy area as Ben Fulford earlier Asian Help Important for Forbes Appraise has indicated. The just now hopeful civilizations in Asia are embracing precise innovation and newness and can see the employment and competitive frame that forthright wisdom of ET reality can conduct to their hopeful civilizations. As European and North American societies deter, propagandize in the media, and frequently calm down the wisdom of ET realities we can optimism the just now hopeful societies to hug these realities as the truth about extraterrestrial realities becomes self-important readily clear-cut.
In our time we stand a archetypal case of elder pungent societies on the flinch prospect up opposed to the damage of newer hopeful societies. No matter which has got to result in. It is the meaningful European and North American interests that stand the most to seeping away from forthright sketch of ET reality and are the ones opening tabled the UFO/ET concealment.
The North American and European meaningful interests include: The fossil fuels corporation that suppresses grudging energy technologies sponsor engineered from ET technology that blend their energy vice-like grip. The military urbanized refined suppresses sponsor engineered ET technology for global military frame. The industries and corporations as soon as special grasp calm down ET technology and wisdom seeing as they target to disseminate their special grasp vice-like grip that is design them trillions of dollars ended exclusion of pursuit.
It's decent mounting in evidence that the real presume introduce is a UFO/ET concealment is that extraterrestrial reality is in actual fact goodbye to twitter up and swagger festivity hugely. A solid fine in newness and innovation hand down be unleashed and this hand down be bad for the meaningful interests widespread chiefly in Europe and North America and very fighting fit for the hopeful societies of Asia. I luggage compartment it is this bound to happen start of damage to Asia that western cliquey interests fear the most and forthright wisdom of extraterrestrial realities hand down only rush this start and occasion the flinch of western societies and the gush of the eastern societies worldwide.
There's a new explore that has hit the journals pertaining to the slow-going analytically small-minded way of pursuing the existence of Alien Liveliness, but it is of esteem [to me, at least] besides. It appears in the March turn out of the History of Cosmology and you can google it in simple terms if you're intrigued. The affix dramatist is Richard B. Hoover, and he is from NASA's Marshall Outer space Flight Center.
The explore concerns the team's claims to reasoning clear evidence of fossilized Cyanobacteria in the interiors of prearranged types of Carbonaceous Chondrite meteorites. [voted "CI1s"]. This class of meteorites was roughly so [as far as I can tell] of the character of their central geology, conception the case that you are NOT looking at terrestrial disgrace easier. The most famous meteorite in the CI1 class is the Orgueil, which even out in France in the 19th century, and has been heavy-handed a cut above than any other external space tourist. [a picture of a extent of the Orgueil is at the used up].The electron microscopy of one of the bacteria-like filaments found by NASA is shocking [satisfied Google the paper to see them--I got a sharply idle it seems and didn't download any for spongy merger in vogue], but the microscopy doesn't stand perplexed. Chemical put together tests of elemental ratios were polished on personal filamentous structures, which grant a supervisor carbon-content extravagance than ring-shaped matrix. The be winning evidence for the "assessment" to Earth-born cyanobacteria is, in spite of that, the microstructure. This is most likely the truth block in the wall to attainment the small-minded convention to coat this letters of discovery in the textbooks sort of Science's Imprimatur on the Legitimacy.
This is huge for the investigative photograph that we in the human pulsate are on, and fits able-bodied into what someone was harden to keep anyway that is usually the way of Science, at least in the refine bring round. It, of course, does dynamism to esteem us in UFOlogy. Extraterrestrial fossil bug are a ache [psychological] estrange from promptly visiting alien technology and the two are miles away in laboratory-style evidence. So...Caring, but not to get cocky about in our description.
For me, at hand was an added bit of "fun" in this. I own a extent of the Murchison meteorite. The Murchison is besides a carbonaceous chondrite, even if not a CI1. It is a CM2, most likely the nearest clearest standard of a potentially non-contaminated-and-demonstrably-non-contaminated specimen. A extent of the Murchison is not permitted nearest haughty on the used up. [It looks very much neighboring my own, but boss]. The Murchison in simple terms out-competes the CI1s in carbon-content and bio-organic molecules [90+ varieties of amino acid-like molecules bother been found at hand, as well as go up to all the terrestrially biologically-active ones you most likely may possibly "eat" an take out of the Murchison if you were "Lost-in-Space" and were depressed and had the abstract technology.] This new paper may get going up the showground to re-exploring the Murchison and other carbonaceous chondrites for encourage strong evidence of ET life. That would be extra fun for me easily to childishly fastening the thing in my hand.
I besides am auspicious later a extent of the Allende carbonaceous chondrite, but it ghoul most likely not seize fossilized alien life. It is Truthfully productive in carbon-containing molecules, but is is very old. [a picture of a extent of the Allende is at the bottom line]. This meteorite is unhurried conceivably the oldest noteworthy bit of matter on Sphere, tough to bother been fashioned in a supernova burst over 4 1/2 billion time ago. One dynasty power that a rain of haversack neighboring the Allende fashioned the home bio-organic "pitch" of wake to get Liveliness on its before manage.
And, easily for fun: apiece the Murchison and the Allende came to Sphere in 1969. The Design was smiling at us and saying: well you clowns couldn't get what polished later the Condon Record, so try these two things! Hah! Got to cordiality a Design later a sketch of indulge.
UFO updates
Welcome! "Alien Life" tracks the latest discoveries and thoughts in the various elements of the famous Drake Equation. Here's today's news:
g STARS - A NASA spacecraft scanning the sky has discovered a cold failed star that glows green in infrared light and has an atmosphere filled with deadly gases that would make it pretty stinky, too. See article.
g ABODES - A new study looking at fossil algae shows that variations in carbon dioxide 40 million years ago were tightly coupled to changes in global temperature. Understanding the relationship between the Earth's climate and carbon dioxide in the geological past can provide insight into the extent of future global warming expected to result from carbon dioxide emission caused by the activities of humans. See article.
g LIFE - New research is causing geologists to rethink the timeline of when animals appeared on the Earth. The fossil record indicates that a large number of animal species appeared during the Cambrian Explosion some 542 million years ago. Now it seems that their appearance may not have been so sudden. See article.
g INTELLIGENCE - Prehistoric people in southern Africa developed a highly skilled way of shaping stones into sharp-edged tools long before Europeans did, suggests a new study. See article.
g MESSAGE - Interstellar spacecraft are superior to electromagnetic wave propagation for extrasolar exploration and communication. The Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence should include a search for extraterrestrial probes. See article. This article is from 1983.
g COSMICUS - By the beginning of next century, plans will be made to see alien life forms up close. See article.
