I will add more as time goes by.

Thoughts on Aliens

Given the age of the universe and the vast number of galaxies, I am very comfortable in giving the probability of other civilizations existing: 1.0
Probability of civilizations that are more than a million years more advanced than us: 1.0
Probability of civilizations that are more than a thousand million years more advanced: 1.0
Probability of "Bestowers" existing: 1.0

Some Thoughts on Alien Tech

I think that in the case of "morphing" "UFOs", what we are seeing are holograms projected around the vehicle to mimic or confuse. By projecting an image of the background the vehicle could also be rendered invisible. I want to stress that the lights seen are also holographic projections.

The "fear" that people experience when seeing a "UFO" might be because the "UFO" is putting out "bad vibes" as a defensive mechanism to keep us at a distance. If they can speak to us directly in our minds, they can manipulate our emotions. They can also cause us to forget.

Many ways

Are we born in the world only to deny the world?

To turn away from the world in an inner quest to find spiritual liberation? To sit alone in some musty cave dreaming of the kingdom of righteousness? To a few this is the right path but to most, isn't it to be fully in the world? To watch a sunrise, a child grow from helplessness to adulthood, to feel the warm embrace of a love one?

Nietzsche says: "We seek not the same purpose here". The Buddha says: "Find your own path". The Bhagavad Gita says: "Many are the ways of men but they all, in the end, come to Me."

I say: Do the work that God have given you: seek knowledge, strive to love as God loves: unconditionally. And in everything that you do or suffer, do or suffer it for God.

Big Head

Less someone get "big headed", I want to stress the communal nature of creation. We are to God as a neuron is to a brain. We are a part of the whole. There is a difference in being "of God" and being God, which mega-maniacs seem not to realize.

In western religions, God creates the universe apart from himself, hence the universe (including us) has fallen. In eastern religions, God creates the universe out of himself. He is the Creation. Above is an image called Nataraj: Lord Shiva as the "Divine Dancer" which I think best represents my concept of God: In Shiva's hand is a drum measuring out the passage of time, while around Him burn the multitude fires of creation. Shiva dances on the dwarf of ignorance.

I came here to dance! (Or maybe, to learn how to dance.)
