As I have stated on many radio, TV and newspaper interviews when the
question arises regarding UFOs and 'other worlds': "I do not
place limitations upon the creative powers of God."
And I do not place limitations on God's creative powers as many people
apparently do, mostly, the religious fundamentalists . . . (God help
them).
We are here on Earth with a mixture of multi-races for a reason--for
a grand purpose: it is all in God's GREAT PLAN that we should learn
to live together; separate--but equal.
We are ALL human beings--Earthlings--regardless of our separate counties--our
differing religions--our differing politics--our differing skin colors--our
differing languages.
We must learn to live together--to respect each other--to love one
another.
How could we possibly expect an advanced culture of beings from another
world to communicate and to share knowledge with us--here on Earth--until
we learn that we are all the same here; most certainly in the eyes
and desires of God.
This is my personal belief: God made us all different--but really
the same--that we may ultimately gain the supreme knowledge mentioned
above--and it is a 'supreme' form of knowledge--because we just have
not learned how to gain this knowledge, at this writing, at this time
in human history. (October, 2000 AD).
So why be surprised, or even doubtful, that other 'beings' from 'other
worlds' have and ARE visiting us--studying us--and watching us?
Assuming that 'they' are indeed, no doubt, advanced in every way from
us, why would they want to establish themselves with such a warring
and cruel world of beings that they, themselves, perhaps, can not
even fathom? 'God only knows.
The battle over the age of the earth continues, mostly, once again,
within the religious communities throughout the world, based upon
the many interruptions within the Bible and the teachings of some
of the self-proclaimed, absolutely certain religious leaders, who
speak with such adamant assurance that their parishioners feel compiled
to believe, because who better knows than their preachers?
Forget about 'carbon 14' dating in their minds: it is a plot to destroy
the meanings of the dates in the Bible--as far as they are concerned.
I have asked these people in question--and that is what most believe.
Most will not even speak to the 'caveman' issue of historical fact,
so forget all about the dinosaurs . . .
Therefore, who are WE, or, more aptly put, who are these people who
can not see beyond their limits they place upon God based mostly
upon what is written within the Bible--which was written by many different
people and many deferent times throughout the history of humankind?
In college, while studying Religions of the World, I was a 'student
teacher.' I asked my class one day, "Who was King James, and
why did he order that the book of Wisdom be withheld from the King
James VERSION of the Bible, some 700 years ago?"
No one had an answer--and this was a pretty smart class. We were all
straight 'A' students, so I asked them to try to find out all they
could about King James.
I won't go into King James any more so, as that would become an entire
essay within itself, but suffice it to say that King James was no 'Saintly'
man. He had some incredible flaws in his lifetime. So, who was he
to make such a demand for a re-write and changing of the sacramentary
wording and meanings within the Holy Bible? To subject the people
to a form of mass-control? To close their minds from considering 'other
things' regarding the origins of this world?
Yes. More than likely.
A closed-minded population--is a controlled population.
As I have written within this website, according to the World Directory
of Religions, from 1997, there were 25,000 religions on earth--all
claiming to have the true answer--all coming from the one true God.
If 25,000 religions all have the same God, why then don't they all
share the very same beliefs?
Wars are still being fought on this consideration alone. Even now
. . .
What we need to ponder--and I say 'ponder,' is I don't believe it
should overwhelm us in our daily lives, nor should these thoughts
detract us from seeking out our spirituality as to all of God's creations--throughout
the universe: are there beings who are so advanced that we would,
today, consider them, 'Angelic,' or simply, civilized? And there are
other 'beings' out there ???
When the Spaniards landed in south America--they were held in high
esteem by the Indians as 'gods,' and were treated as such. It cost
them firstly, their young women, their mountains of gold--and then
lastly, their lives. Entire tribes were wiped out without a trace--murdered
by these 'gods' from another world . . .
There are hundreds of new forms of life being discovered everyday
here on earth, and at the deepest regions of the oceans, there remains
thousands of forms of life that are yet to be discovered and named,
simply because we can not descend to such great depths . . .
I pray that when 'contact' is openly made--that we can maintain our
lives, albeit, enlightened lives--given to the knowledge that God's creations
are indeed, unlimited--and without the bounds most people place on
such creations.
This
will be, no doubt, for the betterment of the human race--as a whole--not
separate--like 25,000 religions--and the boundaries we call, countries.
Personally,
I want to live to see an 'undivided' Earth: a world of righteous human
beings--casting down the dogma of aloneness within the universe.
God's greatest creation: Life: life springing and blooming from Life.
Where there is Life, . . there is Hope . . .

Peace--in numbers,
