I think i'm starting to think aliens are my religion???

I feel like a moron for saying this...

I really have no religion. I'm also a very skeptical person. Anyone who's read my posts on alien threads know what i think about UFO's and ET's. Basically, i think that it'd be ignorant to say there is no other life out there. And also, with the size of the universe, there HAS to be intelligent life out there... and out of all that life, there has to be at least (probably alot) of species that are WAYY more advanced then us.

WIth that in mind, i've never really taken to the idea that aliens have visited earth. I want to beleive all the people that have "seen" them, but i can't until i see something with my own two eyes... i guess its just how i work... so while id like to think they have come here... my only conclusion is that they MAY have.

Now that i've learned most i can about all kinds of drugs, i've been spending my time learning a lot of new and different things online. Obviously i can't help but be skeptical, and this isn't what i fully beleive... but its so interesting that i guess i just WANT to beleive it...

I've been reading into all the 2012, galatic federation of light, niburu, planet X, etc etc.
I think the concept that aliens may come and enlighten us all and bring us to a higher vibration is soo cool. I guess its everything i want to beleive in... but i really have no premise or reason to belive in this... except that i REALLY want to lol.

I've always been interested in the pyramids... because ive always been into architecture and engineering. in fact, i was a civil engineering major... there is NOOOO way humans built those things without some kind of help!!!!!!!!!!!!!! they make the world trade towers et al 1975 look like a joke. Not to mention egyptions kept daily records of every event, and not once did they mention building the Great pyramid. the hyrioglyphics kind of just suggest it was alerady there. Besides, the methods in which we beleive the pyramids to have been built are just entirely impractical.

of course theres the mayans...
...and the fact that we are entering a new age... of aquarious
...not to mention the way the world has been the past 100 years... all the chaos and new technology... pretty ridiculous if you ask me.... the whole world is connected now, and just 150 years ago, just travelling across the atlantic was very difficult.

i dont know, a lot of it intermingles, but as much as i want to beleive it... i guess i still dont, for obviousn reasons. I really hope we get some aliens here in 2012 though, because if they do what some people think they are going to... then itd be friggen awesome! they already say some people are more evolved and are already on this higher vibration path.... and i feel like I, among MANY of the people here at the city are some of these people.

who knows, im sure it'll be just like Y2K... but until 2012, at least i can keep myself really excited and interested that this world ISNT ENTIRELY a piece of shit where nobody is happy because of the constraints our race has built up upon ourselves.

I also think a lot of musicians look like aliens... particularly this lennon poster i have in my room... and i find it odd that a lot of musicians kind of just... die/disappear... but then theres a lot of clues that hint towards a possible faked-death... just an idea

now let me finish this off by saying that i am a realist... and after saying that, after everything i just typed, makes me feel like a complete idiot. How could i ever even CONSIDER beleiving what i just wrote?? i guess its just something i really want to beleive... i never said i was gonna get fucked by jessica alba... but i sure as hell like to think about what itd be like!!! ya feel me?

Re: I think i'm starting to think aliens are my religion???

your post made me think about the whole 2012 thing, aliens, maybe the whole antichrist thing too.. you know.. maybe its all the same one thing, people are just calling it different names.. im also... well, somewhat skeptical, but i mean we're human, no way we could know, so before anybody starts flaming you, i wanna say that there is no way for us to know.. maybe its true.. maybe it isnt, we just have to wait and see, i guess

yes, we're entering a new age but its a whole entirely new age,
every 26,000 years, a new cycle begins, which is 2012
the ending of zodiac

plus the law of time has to be 13:20
not 12:60

Quote:
Our present great cycle (3113 B.C. - 2012 A.D.) is called the Age of the Fifth Sun. This time period is ruled by 4 Earth. This fifth age is the synthesis of the previous four. 4 Earth (called Caban in the Maya language and Ollin in Aztec) has several meanings, including: movement, shift, evolution, earthquake, navigation, synchronicity, clue tracking, turtle. In the Maya language, the word "ol" of ollin means consciousness.

Earth and her inhabitants are currently travelling through the 13th baktun cycle - the final period of 1618-2012 AD. This cycle is known both as "the triumph of materialism" and "the transformation of matter."
The Maya predicted this final baktun would be a time of great forgetting in which we drift very far from our sense of Oneness with Nature and experience a kind of collective amnesia. Like a memory virus in which we begin to believe the limited reality of appearances and grow dense to the spiritual essence which fuels this world, so humanity's sense of ego and domination has grown.

i think shrooms are from space haha... i mean.. there not, but the way they make me think, they must be, right? haha

as far as the pyramids... they say they dragged these stones (which weighed between 1-20 tons!!!!) over logs to roll them up the ramps...

if this were the case, the ramps would require an impractical amount of wood and stone (as much material as the pyramids itself!!!) and the wooden logs would be destroyed after just carrying one stone, because of they weight. The only trees in egypt are the date tree which provided much of its food, there was no way they were gonna chop all them down, it provided a neccessity... theres no other trees... not to mention there weren't enough people in the area to build it until they went outside of a 500 mile radius... which is a lot of distance before trains, planes and automobiles...

also, hieroglyphics show alien-like creatures, and egyptian documents talk of beams of light in the sky, and advance people coming to teach them new technologies...

mayans speak of similar occurances as well, and mayans are considered to be the smartest civilization of all time

who knows...

i also think that these are all the same thing... anti-chirst... thats not even a bad thing... the anti-christ is just gonna show people how dumb religion was. Jesus was a good man, and he spread good values. He was good for its time... but organized religion has failed, and we've evolved from the neccessity for it

Re: I think i'm starting to think aliens are my religion???

There doesn't have to be life in the rest of the universe. It's simply conjecture based on a number of assumptions.

We really don't know enough to make a call either way, in my opinion.

Re: I think i'm starting to think aliens are my religion???

there is part of me that i believe that alien did built the pyramids..

and the marijuana plants
Quote:
This is all from a segment out of the 3rd Cannabible.

Cannabis is a greek word, of African descent. It means canna- canine - "Dog" and bis - "two". So it is the "Two Dog" plant.

In Mali, West Africa, there is a pot loving tribe called the Dogons. The Dogons were visited by Herodotus, a Greek traveller and chornicler, around 300 BCE. Herodotus came upon the tribe during their yearlong celebration of cannabis that occured every 50 years.

Explaining their celebration, the Dogons point to the brightest star, Sirius, and said it was the "two dog star" and home of the "two dog plant" cannabis. Cannabis, they say, was brought to our planet by the goddess from the Sirius.

Now it gets interesting because the Dogons had specific knowledge about the Sirian system for thousands of years before scientists could prove them right.

The Dogons knew that Sirius B was a white dwarf star, and that it was the heaviest of the group. They were able to describe its elliptical orbit with Sirius A, its 50 year orbital period, and the fact that the star rotates on its own axis. Sirius B is invisible to the naked eye and so difficult to observe that no known photographs were taken of it until 1970.

The Dogons also described a third star Sirius C, which was only discovered in 1995.

So how did the Dogons know about the 50 year orbital period? They say it was brought to them by Nommo, an amphibious being sent to Earth from Sirius for the benefit of mankind.

Could this explain the diversity in the cannabis gene pool? There are cannabis flavors that mimic almost every fruit on the planet, and reminiscent of numerous herbs, and then there are flavors that are seemingly out of this world...

What if these strains and flavors are really from outer space? What if cannabis is a plant highly regarded and traded not just on our planet, but throughout the universe?

-Paraphrased from Jason King's the Cannabible 3



and i agree with u

technically i agree...
because there is no proof.
the only evidence is ambiguous.

however....
look in the sky... every one of those stars is a potential sun that can support life... the universe is huge... there is DEFFINITELY life out there... eveywhere... theres .00000000000000000001% chance that earth is the only life supporting planet

I cant say for certain that there is, because like you said, we don't know enough to make a deffinite call... but c'mon now... its the same as trying to argue we didn't land on the moon, since theres an argument for and against, and "proof" for both sides. Sometimes you just have to combine speculation, logic, and common sense.

The reality is, is that we don't understand the precise mechanics of abiogenesis, and until we do, we can't say that life is a likely even or not. It could turn out that conditions have to be so specific, that it will only occur once, in the entire span of the universe.

We just don't know enough yet.

there's a lot of things we don't know or comprehend as humans. That being said, i think it's ignorant to say there isn't life out there. You're right, we don't know yet, and there isn't proof; but theres so many different experiences and sightings. Combine that with the fact that the universe is INFINITE, water has been found on another planet in our tiny spec of a solar system on mars, and that there are infinite other solar systems with one or more suns... and you have my point: though there is no proof, it is absolutely stubborn and ludicrous to think that we on earth are the only ones.

say and beleive what you want, but there is most certainly life out there. I, among billions of others, including the British Ministry of Defense (and even confidential/unreleased US reports) agree that we aren't alone, and you can't simply discredit the possibility just because we don't KNOW yet. We didn't know the world was round at one point in time, but its common sense now. One day we will laugh at how naive and innocent we once were for thinking we were the only ones

Re: I think i'm starting to think aliens are my religion???

Interesting read. Although I really doubt the 2012 thing...I do think it would be cool if aliens or whatever came and taught us more about the world/universe. I just can't take something like this seriously until more is learned/revealed about our universe. You are not alone in wanting more out of life, but you may be putting your dollars in the wrong jar. Either way though it's nice that you are excited about something! Enjoy it as you only have 4 years left before it becomes true or not.

yeah... well when it doesn't happen, someone will just pick a new year for an apocolyptics/revolutionary event... so i guess i can be romantically hopeful for the rest of my life

Oh yeah there will be plenty of events for you to choose from after 2012. Huge world changing events seem to be becoming more and more popular topics and are growing rapidly in numbers. I suppose our society is getting bored with what it has.

Yes, and we have reason to believe that water will be found throughout the galaxy. Although water is an important component to the abiogenesis of our own biosphere, it is by no means the only requires component.

Actually, I can. It's call the burden of evidence.

Or perhaps one day, we will laugh at how naive and innocent we once were for assuming a biophilic universe. We'll jeer our ancestors for foolhardily assuming that biology would ever be driven to intelligence or even complexity.

Don't get me wrong, I love astrobiology, and I support all kinds of space exploration. I just think we should be wary of the pitfalls of anthropic thinking.
