Reflecting on UFO's and aliens

“Untold hours are spent fighting simulated battles and resisting alien invaders by the children of man, we present ourselves as the good guys and King El Olam as the bad guys. With your help man have amassed enough weapons of mass destruction to wipe out totally his kind many times over and it will be interesting to see how the immortal ones fare against man’s weapons of mass destruction. If King El Olam had amassed the type of weaponry that man has amassed then maybe I would have submitted to him a long time ago.” (The Light Bearer responding to a question)
(Exert from my book “An Emperor for the animals” published by Create Space 2014)

Humanity is entering a new phase of its existence now that scientists are prepared to admit that other life forms exist in the universe based on the fact that there are aliens here on the earth. There are a number of countries on the earth whose defense system is so sophisticated that it would be suicidal for another country to attack or invade. These countries are now being forced to come to terms with the existence of alien life forms and are preparing defenses to repel alien invasions.

Astronomers estimate that there are observable approximately 100 billion galaxies in the universe and our galaxy the Milky Way has about 300 billion stars. That is approximately 300,000,000,000,000,000,000 stars and each star is a sun to possibly one or more planets. Added to these stars and planets are the countless asteroids, meteors comets among other things in space. Humanity and science should accept that there was a mega amount of material and a source of power that it has yet to discover that caused the Big Bang. The stars, planets, comets, etc fell into place as a result of the Big Bang.

The Evolution Theory advances that life began billions of years ago when life forming gases come together to form molecules and this is the origin of life on the earth. We will take the Evolution Theory to be true because based on such a theory the same thing could have happened on other planets. If all the planets came into existence through the same process then it is reasonable to assume that there are others planets that will support life. If superior life forming gases were to begin the evolution process on one of the other planets or their evolution process was superior to man’s then we could possibly end up with aliens who are superior or more intelligent than man.

Scientist are finally admitting that UFO and aliens are real and have paid visits to the earth. However man have not so far been able to visit any of the other planets so aliens having visited the earth have the advantage. It is yet to be determined if these aliens are hostile or friendly in their endeavors but man is making preparation to repel an alien attack. The atrocities that man have heaped on his fellow man make him fear than aliens may do the same to him. It is obvious that the aliens that visit the earth are more intelligent and advanced that man because they have developed space crafts that take them to earth while man is still trying to identify another habitable planet. This in itself is a big blow to the ego of man because he must believe that there is no greater power than himself.

The writers of the Bible identify several living beings that belong to another realm such as Deities, angels, arch angels, seraphim, cherubim, living beings, demons, evil spirits, the Devil. Some of these beings operate here on the earth and some in the heavenly realms and display intelligence and personality. Scientists may have a problem providing proof of the existence of these beings because science is about taking what exists and providing possible explanations as to how it came about. These beings exists, are alive, display personality but is not visible to the human eyes. This is why their existence is often denied.

There are some interesting stories in the Bible and one is about an angel that destroyed 65,000 soldiers in one night. Another story tell of the prophet Elijah being taken up to heaven in a chariot of fire drawn by horses of fire. The Bible is a book that contains a lot of information about wars and war strategies and the weapons that we read about in the Bible are compatible with the weaponry that was current. This has often caused me to wonder if the Deities in heaven were to take their cue from man and develop weaponry in keeping with those invented by man how will man survive a war with the Deities.

We are at a point in time where now that there is proof of the existence of aliens more information need to  be given by governments. Also some assurance need to be given because the weapons that mankind have invented will serve well against mankind but what proof is there that these weapons will deter or be effective against aliens? We have proof that the earth is being visited by UFO’s and aliens so now may be a good time to inform the citizens of the earth if these aliens are armed or are to be treated as friends if ever encountered.

It is obvious anyway that these aliens are more advanced, brilliant and superior to man so why would they decide to invade the earth? The Bible and Judaea/Christian belief give an interesting answer.

Necessary yet ignored.

Our dietitian, our psychologist and our pastor should each play  vital roles in our life and yet most of us don't place any value  on any of the three.

Eating and drinking are two of the few pleasures that life offers and life also allows us to consume the things that are pleasant and desirable to our taste buds. The fatalist, however, declare that if we eat we are going to die and if we don't eat we will just die a little earlier. Therefore, based on this it is better to enjoy the eating the food while it is killing you so eat the food that you enjoy. Either way if you don't eat then you will become malnourished and also likely develop stomach ulcers. The icing on the cake is that if you eat you will develop disease as a result of what you eat and if you don't eat then you will get sick and develop disease from not being properly nourished. Those of us who have a balanced diet stand a good chance of dying before the other two.

In order to overcome these problems we turn to our beloved dietitians.  Our dietitians are regulated healthcare professionals licensed to assess, diagnose, and treat nutritional problems. The average person goes throughout their life time without ever once consulting a dietitian and suffers no adverse consequences. We eat and drink whatever we desire and the body takes care of the rest. It is only in the rare case when there is a shortfall but more often over supply in nutrition then after a visit to the doctor we visit our friendly dietitian. The hope is to prolong life in order to eat more food. One of the few things that I recall from primary school is being taught to eat three times per day. Our stomachs are very kind and more often than not send kindly reminders to ask why is nothing coming there. Satisfying hunger and lack of energy or having energy are enough incentives to eat food. Our friendly dietitian is most welcome when there is a desire to prolong life especially when it is indulging in eating that is threatening our death.

There are available countless varieties of food and drinks to satisfy physical hunger but many fail to recognize that the mind also need to be fed. As a child I often heard this quote with reference to feeding the mind, "Garbage in, garbage out". There continues the debate as to whether the mind and the spirit differ but the agreement is that the mind need to be healthy and this lead to the reference to mental health. One philosopher describe the spirit/mental capacity not functioning as comparable to a joint out of place.

Our physical bodies and our minds does not feed on the same food although it is true that some food can and will affect our mental health. The state of our minds quite often affects the state of our bodies. The body sometimes refuses to adsorb and eliminate food because of the state of the mind. One of the terrible things that the mind does is bringing on a feeling of despair and despondency. It is at such time that we need our Psychologist to assist with overcoming those problems that originate in the mind. The severity of the problem may involve our Psychologist referring us to a Psychiatrist for medication. 

All around are things that motivate and inspire and because this it is not definite  what is the food that will motivate and or inspire a person. The things that is certain is that the mind need to be fed. Fortunately mental health issues does not arise from not feeding the mind. Probably the most potent thing that any of us posses is our minds and our institutions of higher learning plays a vital role in training and developing the mind.

One of the greatest man to walk this earth recognized the value of God's laws, ordinances and commands and equated following these as being just as necessary in life as eating food to sustain life. Religious practices appeals to a part of the psyche that is hard to define and some of the happiest people to be found are those who practices religion. Religious practitioners defy the ordinary and what makes practical sense so they are hard to explain.

In ancient religious  practices the priest approached God on behalf of the people and in turn deliver the messages from God to the people. Admittedly in our present reality most of us have pastors and not priests and the role of the pastor is difficult to explain because unlike the role of the priest the pastor appear to be more an abstract that operates in a vacuum. 

Religion, however, connects the spirit with a superior authority and the role of the pastor becomes that teaching the how of connecting with the higher authority. Pastors also serve certain social and ceremonial functions and are seen in society as the persons closest to God.
