As we move towards the third millennium, our children are wondering how it is possible to survive in a world where substance is covered up. In a world where appearance, and not reality, dominates, we strive to hide ourselves from others to avoid judgement, and hide from ourselves for fear of realising that we are not living our lives to the full.
In such a world we are so busy using our time looking for food to survive that there is little time left to try to understand the universe which surrounds us.
It must be remembered that food for survival must nourish not only the body, but also the mind.
Studying, observing, and questioning are vital for the soul to gain awareness of itself.
If we struggle to get through each day, we have no time to wonder if God exists. Some suspect that is because those in power don’t want us asking such questions. If this is the case, we must ask why our leaders want us to remain stupid. Perhaps because what they tell us about the great questions of ethics, religion and politics, is wrong: all the more reason to look inside ourselves for the answers which we can’t find outside.
In such a way we can discover that God is not outside, but inside us; but I would go further. God is us.
In this situation it is understandable why the Church loves talking about demons, but not about extra-terrestrials. Such a word would favour science over religion and it would be revealed that the Church, as a mediator between God and us, makes no sense. Science, on the other hand, has become another religion, where the laws of physics seem to have taken the place of the mysteries of the Church.
In this case the laws of physics are to be believed because they are proclaimed by a university professor. So it is said that while for the Church demons exist but not aliens, for science perhaps aliens exist, but not demons.
Whatever the case, do demons and aliens live far away, alive within us only as spectres of psychic disorders?
In reality, things are very different.
Demons and Gods have become today’s aliens.
While people once compared popular beliefs, today they are starting to realise that both the Church and Science have lost their role as a guide, as humanity’s reference point.
The Church does not practice what it preaches, but perhaps what it preaches is wrong anyway. Science constantly makes blunders and covers them up. It avoids issues like the absence of the Higgs boson, and likewise how it still believes in curved space-time. It dismisses the work of the physicist Bohm, or the neurophysiologist Pribram, simply because this would mean discussing a scientific model which really is not at all scientific. Effectively, it is understood that the observation of a scientific phenomenon is of utmost importance, but the actual concept of the perception of a scientific phenomenon is neglected.
How important in all this is asking whether aliens exist? This is the first of many questions. Is our history really what we are told it is? Who is supporting the multinational companies who act in the interests of the few? Does it mean anything to be left-wing or right-wing, or is being honest perhaps enough? What are the secret services hiding and why?
If aliens do exist and if they are already in contact with us, or with some of us, all of this has a meaning. The problem is understanding this meaning. While on the one hand we like believing in the idea of good aliens who come to help us, on the other we prefer to block our ears because we know from experience that when someone is hiding something, things aren’t as clear as they seem.
As we approach the third millennium people are asking what role aliens have in our way of living and thinking. This question must be answered. Now! Because if not it could be too late.
