Why are ETs and UFOs in the Religion and Spirituality section?
Examiner ^ | June 21 | Sean Topping

For many people, the closest thing they have come to an alien or extraterrestrial is in movies such as Star Wars or Star Trek. There is a notion that going to a foreign planet will be something like going to a foreign country – things will be recognizable but quaintly ‘alien’. However, for a growing number of people, the idea of contact with beings from outer space is a spiritual experience.

Fundamentally, both involve belief. One may ask, “Do you believe in angels?” or “Do you believe in ETs?” Or perhaps “Do you believe in both?” Few believe in neither. Some authors have suggested that angels are a subset of ETs.

ET means simply non-terrestrial. At this point in our consciousness, we are expanding beyond the awareness of just our planet. We have movies about asteroids impacting Earth and alien invasions. They are popular because of the interest in space, not because they were particularly good movies. Seven of the top twenty grossing movies involve ETs – to the degree that movies are a representation of our collective consciousness.

Authors such as Lyssa Royal-Holt and Darryl Anka suggest that what is considered to be an extraterrestrial is a representation of the expansion of human consciousness. The ETs that they are in contact with have expressed that what we consider ‘normal, objective reality’ is but one of many different ways of looking at each of our perceptions of what we consider reality.

In the bestseller Blink, Malcolm Gladwell suggests that several people can evaluate the same situation and come up with different, but equally convincing versions of reality. Reality is a spectrum; the expansion of our reality results in contact with what are known as ETs. Because we consider this expanded reality the world of spirit – the ET realm is under spirituality.

Some people look at the photos from the Hubble Telescope and see evidence of God, others see the marvel of nature - but one thing that everyone agrees on is that the universe is unfathomably large and awe-inspiring.

Great question, because religion and spirituality is OK and normal, but belief in ET's and UFO's is an indicator one is a flaming moron.

Ummm.., then according to surveys done in the U.S., we’ve got a majority of morons in this country.... LOL...

But, then again, after the election of Obama, we kinda figured that one out, too...

LMAO! I’d love to see which UFO organization pulled that survey.

It’s OK, half of all people are below average, those UFO believers have plenty of company down there.

Well, that would fit the “Gaia hypothesis”, of mother earth, being a living organism and being impregnated with a big “panspermia” infusion, from the galactic universe.. LOL...

Well..., for whatever it’s worth, there’s a large segment of the public that believes that there is some phenomenon that is going on with the UFO sightings and that the government is covering it up, too...

A Roper Poll...
http://www.scifi.com/ufo/roper/04.html

Some information about that poll...

Sci Fi Wire (Sci Fi Channel), 17-October-02

Summary: A new national poll found that 72 percent of Americans believe the government is not telling the public everything it knows about UFO activity, and 68 percent think the government knows more about extraterrestrial life than it is letting on, the SCI FI Channel reported.

A new national poll found that 72 percent of Americans believe the government is not telling the public everything it knows about UFO activity, and 68 percent think the government knows more about extraterrestrial life than it is letting on, the SCI FI Channel reported. The poll—sponsored by SCI FI as part of its promotion for Steven Spielberg’s 20-hour SF miniseries Taken—also revealed that men more than women think such information should be shared with the public. RoperASW conducted the poll of 1,021 adults aged 18 and over from Aug. 23-25. The margin of error is 3 percent.

For whatever it’s worth... and that number also appears to be growing...

INDEED.

It appears that the fallen angels/ ET’s/ nephilium et al

ARE DILIGENTLY HELPING THE GLOBALIST OLIGARCHY SET THE WORLD UP TO BE COERCED/FORCED INTO THE BIBLICLY PREDICTED SATANIC WORLD GOVERNMENT.

That’s sufficient reason for such to be in the Religion section on FR, for sure.

Blessings,

More than 80% of the populace believe UFOs/ ET’s are real . . . most of those believe that such are from beyond earth—either spatially or dimensionally or both.

I did a quick search on that one for polls and didn’t find anything in that number. I did post a poll though, from a few years back. Perhaps there are more up-to-date polls that would show that. It would be good to have that for reference...
