Extra-terrestrial simply means ‘out of this Terra firma or solid planet’, our only home called planet earth.So why not say is other life out there in the sky instead of labelling it in our own uninformed terms? Look at the sky anytime night or day and you will be filled with a sense of awe and wonder. Listen to the local preacher and he seems to know somehow ‘what it’s like out there or up there’, yet he only goes by here-say and judges the true believer in life ‘out there’ as heretical and will cast devils out of you if you dare mention you saw a UFO, or even more magical met an extra terrestrial. The preacher will also tell you all things are possible with God, so why not other land masses out there with similar life to our own? Now not all preachers fall into this category and many do good work administering to their earthly flock. The irony of the whole religious thing about only getting to God through Jesus is that He was what we term today an extra terrestrial. So this title is very much fact rather than fiction, but it depends on what you want to take from the past to guide your present moments and the future.
Now to really stir the pot a little I am married to one. How do I know? Well at first it seemed out of this world, but I was able to appreciate my luck as I had seen a silver saucer in broad daylight before we married and the immediate question that popped into my head was, who’s driving that thing the way it moves and where did they get those snow white portholes from? It soon tilted vertical and sped away only to be recorded on the local news that night and in all the papers. Remember I wanted to know who was inside and I could only guess until I told my wife of this ‘out of this world experience’. She went even further saying some of her friends had alighted from a light ship in sub tropical Africa to greet her in this earthly life. Wow, I thought rather embrace this wonderful news than fight it through disbelief.
Now jump forward in our earthly lives she and me and we are travelling in a camper van to Uluru, the sacred rock dear to the Australian aborigines who will tell you, through knowledge passed down, that their ancient ancestors came from the stars. Bear in mind that these people live on the oldest land mass on the planet and can be traced anthropologically back forty thousand years. Anyway, we are under the setting sun by the side of the great sandstone monolith so sacred them, when we meet an aboriginal elder who runs the aboriginal cultural centre for the doubting tourists from all over the world. I was very excited to ask my burning question to one of such refinement and wisdom and this was it. “Did your people come from the stars?” To which he calmly and almost immediately answered,” Yes from up there” and pointing straight at my wife said to my amazement, “She been here before”. So succinct , so clear, so truthful, without endless doubt and debate. Yes the indigenous races of this planet know about life out there for they have all experienced visits from the stars.
The Red Indians, wiped out in America, spoke of the Thunder bird, another way of describing the noise of a UFO. The South American legends talk of tall strangers who appeared and disappeared at will and could move mountains and rivers.Who really believes the pyramids were built by a race of mere human slaves? So accurately designed and cut are all the world’s hugest rock monuments left here, it could only have been done through laser cutting and transporting long desert distances by UFO levitation, then positioning with pinpoint accuracy. Not even our most skilled builders and architects today can get anywhere near this level of accuracy!
So instead of trying to measure always in our own earthly terms let’s accept that there are living beings out there, animals too, who have visited earth before and will be back one day, if they are not already walking amongst us, or sitting next to us like my wife is now. Can’t wait for the next visit from out there and I won’t be yelling in fear if I meet one, “Get on the ground quick, hands in the air, behind your back, quick ring the President while we handcuff this different living thing”.( which probably has a heart like ours, and not the Hollywood monster variety, beating in fear by this stage). I shall simply say,” Welcome, do you drink Starbucks coffee on your planet ?”He or she may say, “Take me to your dealer”.
Very much fact if we believe in the story of Creation, or more simple mindedly in the “Big Bang”, spreading land masses and life all over the immense “space” of the endless Cosmos it happened in, which was behind the original birth of everything. Must have gone light years out with rock and whatever, so who are we to think out of that huge miracle we are the favoured piece of dust?. The lesson to be learned here is that if you have not seen, don’t deride others as mad who have. You are probably just acting out of jealousy that you have not experienced something out of your boring world of judgement. President Jimmy Carter was one of America’s best leaders of the last sixty years and he reckons it’s fact I think .At least he saw something different to the stealth bomber out there in his own and not the enemy sky. What it is to be open minded!
