We use 'cause and effect' to establish what we are calling 'logic' in our human mindsets.
Religions are reflections of the prevailing political situations. And that is all that they are.
The religious texts in tyrannies are characterized by threats versus propositions.
Let's go into the future now. |
The religious texts of democracies are limitless: there is a 'constitution' around that will suit someone, but not one in particular that must suit all. There are never-ending constitutions, never-ending amounts of religious ideas and beliefs and it's all like a bazaar in which people can just wander around, picking and choosing whichever one suits them for that afternoon.
(I mean none of these things are sayings that are mine, at least not in this lifetime for sure! Other people wrote them a long time ago).
The religious texts of monarchies are high mythologies of the 'Golden Age' from which, out of the dim mists of antiquity, lineages proceed/have proceeded, and which are to be preserved.
Unfortunately, human beings, being what they are, well they adapt to bad situations so much so that at a point, it becomes impossible to prevent them from feeling emotionally displaced, and worried and troubled, when you 'free them' from some, let's say previous condition of enslavement.
To just look at possible narratives from the past about 'encounters' we need look no further than the story of the so-called 'Tower of Babel.'
Islam is not quite certain about exactly why Allah, in that case, decided to destroy the place and confound/confuse the people. Possibly 'Nimrod' (Arabic 'Namrud'/'Numrud') built this structure, possibly with the intent of 'climbing to Heaven to confront and even to overthrow God...'
Or possibly, either the tower was built so that two angels - Harut and Marut - could descend there, and from whence they then taught Mankind various 'magical arts:' which included cosmetics for women, chemistry and poisons, and how to make various weapons of war.
This narrative also exists in the Judaeo-Christian system, via the Book of Enoch certainly, though also in various places of the canonical Bible.

We are left, however, with a significant contradictory set of narratives: either God destroyed Babylon and the Tower of Babel because Nimrod wanted to 'ascend to Heaven,' or because angels came down there and taught Mankind advanced forms of mischief.
Now frankly, let's assume you or I are actual 'God' in Heaven, and we are sitting there and someone on Earth decides to construct a very tall tower in order to 'get up to us...'
What we do? Logically, we would most certainly go: 'Okay, off you go then. Keep going. No problem.'
Doesn't make sense, right - that any real God would be even in the slightest bit concerned that anyone was going to get to Him any time soon by that means.
Meanwhile, later on in the Bible, this 'God' who meets and greets Moses -, has protruding nostrils ('apayim') on his face, breathes smoke and fire from out of them, spits burning coals down to Earth from out of his mouth, flies in smoke and clouds, lives on a mountain, possesses and hides a treasure, demands a percentage of virgins as 'his sacrificial share,' consumes heifers and goats and sheep and even people, gets angry a lot and destroys stuff.
??
And, even - he has a squadron of winged flying brass-like vipers that he liberally sends out to bite people, including his own 'followers/worshipers.'
This whole thing is not as simple (as many people want to think) as 'oh well, that's because God doesn't exist...'
No. What we can take from all of the accounts may be something along these lines: somebody built a very tall tower. We don't really know why.

Something 'weird' happened but we really cannot say what, but something did.
And subsequent textual narratives reflect the politics - Jews are essentially enshrining a monarchical form of politics (KING David); Muhammadans are enshrining a Caliph-style tyrannical system (ONE ruler, reflection on Earth OF God, many many threats of extreme violence, plus propositions about what you will get in the future after you are dead, so long as you agree to become a slave).
And now we have Campbell's Tomato Soup Xtians all going along with the standard Jewish narrative - whereas this, is actually what their putative leader (Jesus) actually said about the Jews and their 'Moses:' "Moses gave you the Law, BUT..."
Huh?? But? But what?!
This is real God talking now, right - according to 'Christians' (so they want to claim they are, and from where they are deriving their form of the equivalent nonsense) - and He has just then whole-ly disavowed 'the Law of Moses!'
Christians make it all the worse, when they insist on calling the individual concerned: 'Jesus' and 'Yeshua' (which is supposedly, the Hebrew form of it). Well, but that is not His name... Is it? This 'Christ' guy is an 'El' figure, not a 'Yeh' figure... (Isra-EL, EL-ijah, Dan-i-EL). So what's His actual birth name and why don't people use it?
The Quran (hopping over to there in my recent type of 'hopping and skipping' that has become all too noticeable, even to me!) - Allah says 'you must call someone and know them if you are to give respect acceptable to me BY THE NAME OF HIS FATHER.'
So - what Muslim can tell me what is this 'name of Muhammad's father' by which you are supposed to call him, to address him, and to refer to him?
Anyone? Anyone?
Dawn... (Refer music below) |
...The point of all this, is for me to ask you to please consider, what would happen two minutes after some really good-looking hot ET Alien arrived on your doorstep, with a bottle of 'Big Red' telling you, that she (or he for that matter) was lost and needed to find the house of her (his) grandma's before evening - while batting their eyelids, all lengthened through their advanced arts of cosmetics.
You would annoy them no end, by having far far far too much difficulty, adjusting to a new reality, in which the morals (KP mentioned this) and the ethics and the 'rules' of what is understood to be a Universal Deity to truly advanced sentient beings - was nothing at all like what you (whether right now you care to admit it or not) had become so used to, that every five seconds around these people you would be questioning inside your mind (which they can easily read) whether something was 'right or wrong.' To say nothing of the fact that you would be assigning all kinds of consequences - that canon on through your emotional psychological being as 'perceptual realities.' 'I feel such-and-such.' That is a reality. It is known by psychology as 'perceptual reality.'
How much energy, do you think it is taking, on the part of advanced beings, to underwrite the nonsense going on in your head? 'Underwrite' meaning -, tolerate, and then spend time and energy on, un-doing. All the damn bloody time.
People who are moving fluidly through space-time, understand that 'cause and effect' in time-line frames of reference, is only a small part of logic and reality.
You want to have an advance intelligent being meet with you 'now' and so they can 'give' you some helpful things, maybe even 'hook up' (I believe, is what they say, the kids these days?).
How about you just keep your mind still, and observe...
Plenty of tall towers there! |
But note, as you do, that the political situation of 'angels' (a la Harut & Marut) or of whoever is in touch/in tune, with actual Universal 'Deity,' is not tyrannical, certainly not democratic, not monarchical, and not technocratic. So what is it? And how will you 'get into it,' without dragging along all of the baggage of the human race that has built up inside of you, whether you like to acknowledge it all that readily or not, just yet.
'Republic' does NOT, mean, as the current definition maintains 'a type of system in which a state is ruled by representatives of the citizen body.'
It means equality between its members. You need to be equal. To meet any advanced ET Alien overtly, and for them to acknowledge who they are to you and to stay - you have to be their equal.
And you can do that. Yes you can. You can get there.
