Maria, I do think that's possible. There may be alien life made up of plasma on the sun that is so different from life as we understand it that it is incomprehensible. There may be alien life that exists in complex quantum states which only intersects with the electrical charges in our neurons, & having no bodies.
Crikey, I could go on and on.
So if there is weird alien life out there why the heck should it conform to our way of doing soul structure? I lean toward the idea that what earlier times might have called angels we might call 'aliens' and both descriptors might fall equally short of the full truth.
I have yet to figure out what this heavy psychic weather is. It feels mostly like an *intense* yearning -- but for who or what I can't quite see, but signs point to something transpersonal.
Tthe next month or so is going to contain a LOT of psychic/energetic/karmic clearing & flushing out.
ElaineG, I hope you saw Friday night's Ancient Aliens show because it was two hours of ALL EGYPT! It was a great show. You can probably catch it next week on a rerun at an earlier time.
I've been thinking about aliens again and the so-called Fermi paradox: If they exist, where are they? Nowhere? Are we hard to find? Are we too young to understand or to be spoken to? Is it too much effort to talk? Are they afraid? Does it take time and we just have to wait? Or is there a cover-up by the world's governments?
What do people think is the most likely answer?
Star Trek's concept of the "Prime Directive" or belief in no interference.
A conceptual law that applied to civilizations which were below a certain threshold of technological, scientific and cultural development.
It was meant to prevent starship crews from using their superior technology to impose their own values or ideals on the other planets and their inhabitants.
Perhaps we need to invite them in and ask for help.
I think the most likely answer is that aliens are not from this 3-dimensional material world grounded in the 4th dimension of Now. We won't find flesh and blood beings flying in a UFO made of hardware from a galaxy far far away. I favor the idea that the experience of alien encounters is no different from encounters with angels or spirits. And the job description is similar! Don't they view us from a distance, silently guiding us and protecting the universe from our mistakes? And given that physics tells us that there are actually at least 10 dimensions of space-time (maybe as many as 16), it may be that aliens, spirits, and angels are aways with us in dimensions parallel and adjacent to us. They may inhabit space time dimensions connected to other pasts, presents and futures, which we can sometimes glimpse, as through a glass darkly.
Exactly, Snowbird, I so agree. One of our category topics, we talked about quantum physics, parallel universes etc.
Fascinating and so many physicists agree. Maybe not with all of our angels, spirit guides or alien ideas and discussions but even Stephen Hawking talked about 12 or more dimensions in a recorded interview.
I know every time I imagine something terrible, I apologize to my alternate universe selves for having to live it out "because" of me.
Reminds me that we create our own reality and to focus on positive thoughts just in case!
Deep down inside I think we're in a holographic quantum matrix of some kind. So much to think about and learn and good things to do to make this world a better place for wherever our consciousness is at whatever level of existence. Time to astral travel and dream lovely big dreams ?
Snowbird, I don't think you need a vast amount of agreement to cover up anything. Humans are clearly capable of vast conspiracies, when the stakes are there. Think of D-day, that took the Nazi command by surprise. Or, for a lighter example, Santa Claus. It isn't extremely difficult to keep secrets.
I'm aware of the opinion that aliens are essentially spirits, and I can see the logic in that. I was just thinking that there is no reason why there can't be physical aliens in other stars, and they could in principle try to communicate with us, with radio, for example.
The prime directive idea is interesting, but it begs the question: why would aliens prefer not to impose their ideas on us? Are all aliens tolerant and multicultural? And if they are, what is making all of them that way?
Also, going back to the original theme of the thread, the latest news about the interstellar object that visited our Solar System is that its trajectory isn't entirely following the gravitational path. The current theory is that maybe there was some ice on it that melted when it came close to the Sun. But one can dream up other possibilities...
Two telescopes, Hubble and Chandra, are shut down at the same time.
Last month, it was the observatory in New Mexico (I know they said it was about child pornography, but is it really ?)
Any thoughts ? That seems a lot to me...
Thank you !
There was a thread on the observatory in New Mexico in the US predictions, people can try to look it up if they're interested. I personally never believed the child pornography story. Why would they need to close the observatory for that reason? Surely arresting the man responsible and dealing with any computers in the observatory that were affected would be enough. Just because a few computers may need to be taken away, I don't see that there would be a need to close the observatory. There was also a story that they closed the local post office, and I simply can't imagine why that would be necessary in a child pornography case.
Going back to the original theme of the thread, there is a new theory that the reason the interstellar object didn't follow exactly a gravitational path is because it had a solar sail. If that was true, it would mean it was an alien probe...
