“Whoever undertakes to set himself up as a judge of Truth and Knowledge is shipwrecked by the laughter of the gods.” - Albert Einstein

I was reminded of this quote when I seen a very good friend of mine stating more of her religious quotes. To me there is nothing wrong with this other than most religious people don't seem to realize what you are quoting is merely something that you read in a book. The bible to be more specific. Any religious book as well as any scientific book or anything you read for that matter should always be thought of as your personal belief system and not fact. You "believe" it is fact and that's all. If it works for you then roll with it but that doesn't mean you should close your mind and move on. We as individuals as well as the masses get into trouble when we forget that what we usually accept as our reality or fact tends to only be what the masses or powers that be thinks it is.

History has taught us that those who turn their backs on it tend to repeat it. We the masses have been wrong before and we the masses will be wrong again. After all the finest most intelligent minds on the planet think the earth is the center of the universe, the earth is flat and that there is no non-human intelligence interacting with us. At the very same times in history when these mistakes were corrected any science book or any version of the Bible would have told you or lead you to believe the very same thing. At those times in history these were the facts and they were not disputed. Countless versions of the Bible and science books were edited then rewritten and will always be edited and rewritten.

There is no history of anything until it happens. Then we try to explain it the best we can with the current technology of the times in books. That is all any religious or scientific book is. Drink that in. That is "All" it is.

I believe in God aka The Prime Creator and that God created what we the masses perceive as the known universe along with most everything in it. I also believe that in our past, what our ancestors believed to be gods because of their appearance, intelligence or because they could float and fly we're actually extraterrestrial and or inter dimensional in origin and it was this intelligence who created many versions of what we refer to as the human species. I believe this was done many times over for thousands of years. I believe this practice is still done to this very day the same way now we humans are doing with various other humans, animals, fruits, vegetables and seeds. If we're capable and doing it ourselves now, why would you ever think other non-human intelligences couldn't or didn't do this in the past? To not seriously consider this at least as being a possibility is not logical.

By the way, if you wanted to paint a picture back then or even today of a being that is floating or has the capability of flying and you wanted to show that in a book, painting or drawing, how would you do that? You would put wings on it that's how. Because you know that when people see the wings they relate that to the bird which we all know now and back then that birds can fly. That doesn't mean this being actually had wings, it means it was capable of flight. Just a possibility to consider since the wings of these beings portrayed in books, paintings or drawings are always entirely too small to be capable of flight or lift. If they did actually have wings is it not possible they just showed themselves with wings to better explain to the primitive mind of how their floating or flight was possible? Who knows for sure, but these scenarios all need to be considered and understood as a belief system, as possibly your belief system and that is fine but should never be thought of or stated as fact like organized religion does every day.

"Organized Religion"... there's a hoot. Should I? I'll do something separate on that subject soon. Subscribe.

I really don't get why so many religious folks get so uptight when you talk of non-human intelligences interacting with us. Honestly I'm telling you the truth, I just don't get it. Correct me if I'm wrong but religion believes in god, religion believes god created all things and all life correct? So when it's confirmed for them that god actually created other non-human intelligences or created the beings that created us why does it freak them out? To think god created this vast universe with trillions of stars and even more habitable planets for just us is pretty freaking arrogant don't you think.

Even today's science says there is (at least) one star for every grain of sand on every beach on earth and for each star one or more planets which revolve around them. That well over 50% of what we see has just as good a chance for life than Earth does. Think about that for a moment. Do you really think god put all his eggs in one basket? Really?

I believe there has been many non-human intelligences on our planet, in our solar system, in our galaxy and beyond for tens of thousands or even millions of years before the day our modern science says we humans first walked on Earth. I believe the Bible to be a decent reference to some of the events of Earths recent history, currently the finest example available to know right from wrong when interacting with all life on or off this planet and an excellent guide to how we should try to live our lives in general.

This is a big part my "current" belief system and that is all it is, a belief system. The day I start to accept it as the stone cold facts and start preaching as such without referring to it as my belief system is the day I become a sheep.

Follow no one and stay on point. Never settle for the mass perception of anything, always question reality and never stop seeking the truth. These are the rules I live my life by. I'm not telling you that you should do the same however I am telling you that what you believe to be your reality is actually your personal belief system, that is all it is and should be referred to as such.

The truth will only reveal itself to those who seek it. Why would the truth ever reveal itself to a sheep?
