Extraterrestrials

There is a community if intellectuals who are focused on provng the existence and activity of extraterrestrials in our current world. One of the leaders of this community is Dr. Steven Greer, a medical doctor, an atheist, son of a NASA scientist who helped develop the lunar module for the first manned moon landing.

Dr. Greer implies that he is communicating with extraterrestrials who have told him that this planet is about to be given free energy methodology by benign aliens who will enlist Earth into a Universe-wide movement of peace and prosperity which will last for the next 500,000 years. His claims can be viewed in this video. His program is called The Disclosure Project. In it, he maintains that the truth of extraterrestrial contact with human beings has been suppressed by a small cadre of several hundred wealthy world-shapers, whose motives are to maintain control of the Earth's population by withholding energy technologies and by programming human beings to see aliens as hostile. He maintains that he has met one of these world-shaping people, who confided in him that pitting aliens against humans will bring about a desirable Armageddon, and thus the Second Coming of Christ.

I have been watching several long videos on this subject in an attempt to get my own head around why this seemingly intelligent man, Dr. Greer, is so passionately convinced of his premise. I have to confess, as a former psychiatric nurse, I am troubled by themes that could be consistent with paranoia and megalomania (not in the aliens, since I have yet to see a video with an extraterrestrial in it). As a person who has had some in-depth contact with extremely telepathic and possibly prescient people, I remain rather neutral in my judgment of this movement's veracity or sanity. It is hard for me to agree with or disagree with something without accessible scientific evidence.

I do know this: My own life has not been impacted directly by extraterrestrials. Given my knowledge in this moment, I am not going to depend on the promise of extraterrestrial intervention. I do know that peace and justice begin with me. I know that my own daily practice is something I can improve and remain true to.

For some, extraterrestrial salvation may fill the same need which belief in God fills in others. If extraterrestrials show up today and offer us free energy and universal peace, I'll be on it, believe me. But, until that happens, I am doing the best I can to seek peace and happiness with the tools I have right now.
