ET is here

Many books have been written espousing the idea that extra-terrestrials (ETs) have been with us for millions of years.

The most popular of these was “Chariots of the Gods” by Erik Von Daniken in 1968. Then came the book “We Are not the First” by Andrew Thomas.

Later, several books were written about people being abducted by aliens from outer space for experimental purposes. One of these was “The Interrupted Journey” by John G. Fuller. Another was “Communion” by Whitley Strieber.

Hollywood followed with the extremely popular movie “Close Encounters of the Third Kind” by Steven Spielberg.

Soon, die-hard believers of UFOs (unidentified flying object) formed themselves into societies and research groups to study these phenomena and exchange information. A new specialist began to appear in the lexicon of the English language, i.e. ufologist.

A few of these “specialists” were serious scientists but most were there just for the fun of it. Among the more serious researchers of the UFO phenomena is Dr. James H. Hurtak of the Academy of Future Science in Los Gatos, California.

He is the author of a very important prophetic book, “The Keys of Enoch,” which was dictated to him by higher space intelligence in 1973. Many of the predictions contained in that book have become chilling realities.

Still, mainstream scientists remained nonchalant about the subject.

And the United States government has been very vocal in denying the reality of UFOs and ETs. It has also flatly denied covering up information about ET sightings, UFO crashes and encounters.

“No such thing. Pure imagination! Completely no evidence of their existence,” etc.
3 types of encounters

Dr. Hynek classified human encounters with UFOs into three types. The first is called Close Encounter of the First Kind (CEI) where there are only distant sightings but no communication whatsoever.

The second is Close Encounter of the Secret Kind (CEII) where there are some forms of physical evidence, like burned bushes or trees, strong magnetic field, electrical disturbances in home appliances and street lights and the like. CEII’s sometimes result in extraordinary healing of persons involved.

The third type is Close Encounter of the Third Kind (CEIII) where there is actual face-to-face contact or communication. Alien abductions are examples of this type of encounters.
In 1947, a UFO reportedly crashed in Roswell, New Mexico near a secret US Army camp. The US government denied any such incident happened despite sworn testimonies of ex-military officers who were involved in the cover-up.

According to the story that leaked out, the military found three ETs inside the crashed space ship. Two were dead but one was still alive.

The surviving ET was humanoid, greenish-grey in color, without any hair, had a big head and big black almond-shaped eyes.

The dead ETs were brought to a secret camp called Area 51, which the military has repeatedly denied ever existed, for autopsy.

The surviving creature knew every language spoken on earth and was extremely intelligent. It possessed technical knowledge so far advanced compared to what we had on earth.

Bargain
According to one source the ET bargained with its captors that, in exchange for saving its life, it would share their advanced technology with earth people. That was why after the capture, US technology advanced rapidly. The ET even taught Americans the secret of anti-gravity technology, according to one source.

In the ’80s I met an American researcher named Scott Mandelker in San Francisco who wrote a doctoral thesis alleging that there were millions of ETs now living in the US. He later published his thesis in a book, “From Elsewhere: Being an ET in America.” He even included a questionnaire in the book to find out if the reader was an ET or not.

How much of this information can be believed? I do not know. It is difficult to make any conclusion given scant and contradictory data.

We really have nothing to rely on except our gut feel or intuition. There is no hard evidence to prove the validity of the above stories.

My gut feel, although I cannot prove it, is that ETs are real. The crash in Roswell was real, the US government has been engaged in a big cover-up and I have absolutely no idea why it is doing this.

I believe aliens have been with us on earth for a long, long time already and they have been living like ordinary earthlings like us.

Yes, ETs and UFOs are real

By Jaime LicaucoInquirerLast updated 09:19pm (Mla time) 09/17/2007
MANILA, Philippines—We do not hear much about extraterrestrials (ETs) and unidentified flying objects (UFOs) lately.
But recently, a member of our Aeropagus Spiritual Discussion Group suggested that we discuss the subject during our next meeting on Sept. 27.
The subject of UFOs has never really been taken seriously by mainstream scientists, despite the well-publicized opinion of highly respected Cornell University astronomer Carl Sagan.
The scientist said, with the sheer vastness of the universe’s innumerable star systems, planets and galaxies, it is possible for intelligent creatures to exist somewhere out there.
Our Milky Way alone has some 250 million stars. About a million of these might have planets capable of supporting some form of highly technical civilization, according to Sagan.
About 30 or 35 years ago, numerous sightings of so-called UFOs in the United States and other western countries prompted the US to direct the Air Force to study them.
Known as the Condon Report or Project Blue Book, the study concluded 90 percent of those sightings were no more than mere light reflections, weather balloon objects, or the result of some other natural causes. There was no evidence of flying objects from outer space.
Ignored
But what about the 10 percent that could not be explained rationally? They were simply ignored and forgotten.
It became obvious to one of the Air Force’s consultants, Dr. Allen Hynek, a Northwestern University astronomer, that Project Blue Book was nothing more than a demolition job against UFOs.
When I am asked if I believe in UFOs, my answer is a categorical yes. I have actually witnessed several of them, some in Mt. Banahaw in Dolores, Quezon; others in Pila, Laguna; Roxas City in Capiz and, once, outside the window of my own house in Parañaque.
All sightings occurred in late evenings or early mornings. And I have talked to many people who have experienced similar sightings.
“What about ETs? Do you believe there are such creatures?” I am also asked.
My reply is still a categorical yes, not only because so many credible witnesses have reported seeing or encountering them at close range, but I myself have “seen and spoken” with one inside a big rock or boulder somewhere in Lukban, Quezon Province.
Not farfetched
The existence of ETs and UFOs is not really that farfetched and people who believe in them are not crazy if we look at the preponderance of evidence in many parts of the world throughout the history of humankind.
In fact the first very clear and unmistakable encounter with a UFO can be found in the Christian Bible, in the first chapter of the Book of Ezekiel in the Old Testament.
You will find a very detailed description of the priest Ezekiel’s encounter with strange-looking humanoid ETs in a strange spacecraft or vehicle that emitted sounds like thunder and moved mechanically in four directions.
He saw four creatures who spoke to him and instructed him to go to the house of Israel to tell the people the contents of the scroll that they had given him to eat.
“As for the appearance of their faces,” according to Ezekiel, “the four had the face of a human being, the face of a lion on the right side, the face of an ox on the left and the face of an eagle.”

Can planet earth still be saved?

We are now living in the end times. Let there be no doubt about that!

We are witnessing the last dying breaths of Mother Earth as she struggles to survive the people’s cruelty out of greed and ignorance.

Warnings of great prophets, from Nostradamus to Edgar Cayce, are unheeded. Even chilling statistics on global warming have not moved governments to action. Some officials even consider the warnings to be a great hoax.

The attitude is similar to that of a cancer patient whose first reaction is denial. Action to stem the disease is not taken until it is too late.

Author Hal Lindsay wrote about the end times in his best-selling book “The Late Great Planet Earth.” He described the terrible destruction of our planet as revealed in the Apocalypse of St. John. People did not take him seriously.

In agreement

I find intriguing the fact that almost all major prophecies concerning the end times agree that the terrible event will occur sometime in the decade of the year 2000, that means around 2010.
Nostradamus’ prophecies stop in the year 2020 if I remember right. Why couldn’t he see beyond that? Is it because Earth will be gone by then?

Said John Hogue in his book “The Millennium Book of Prophecy, Visions and Predictions”:

“The clearest warnings about the final conflagration come from the Hopi Indians of the American Southwest... they see themselves as custodians of those secrets the Great Spirit gave man to help him establish a harmonious relationship with nature.

“In 1948 the Hopi elders broke their long silent witness of man’s pathological treatment of the Earth and shared their prophecies with the outer world. The elders spoke of prior human epochs which rose to great technological heights only to destroy himself. They believe it will happen again unless humans change.”

But it may be too late. The Mayan calendar prophecies placed the end of the present Earth cycle at the Winter Solstice of Dec. 21, 2012, only five short years from now.

The pre-Columbian Mayans observed and recorded movements of the heavens for 4,000 years and developed a calendar so accurate that any given day could be ascertained without duplication for 370,000 years.

The Mayans knew that sun spots and solar flares had a direct link to the rise and fall of civilizations on earth.

The significance of the year 2012, according to novelist Benjamin Anastas in a July article in the New York Times Magazine Section, “first entered the public consciousness two decades ago this August with the Harmonic Convergence organized by Jose Arguelles, author of a number of esoteric books about the Mayan cosmos and his telepathically received prophecies.”

Earth-changing event

Arguelles organized and promoted the metaphysical significance of the convergence of different planets in our solar system as an earth-changing event requiring 144,000 participants, “the number that echoed Mayan mathematics and the Book of Revelation—to free the planet from the dissonant influence of western science and synchronize with the wave harmonic of history set to culminate in 2012.”

Large crowds of people all over the world heeded the call (including myself) and gathered in sacred places like Stonehenge in England, Mt. Shasta in California, Mt. Banahaw in the Philippines, and even Central Park in New York.

I was in Houston, Texas, then and joined several hundred New Agers chanting and swaying at a Houston Park.

What would the post-2012 world be like? According to Arguelles, “It will be a world of universal telepathy. We will be living in a new time, by a 13-month, 28-day synchronometer that will facilitate our telepathy by keeping us in harmony with everything all the time.”

Those who have not evolved highly enough will be taken away in “silver ships,” presumably unidentified flying objects (UFOs).

Arguelles is now in New Zealand preparing for the transition.

Before the end of the current cycle in 2012, there will be great upheavals, the likes of which have never been seen before. Earthquakes and volcanic eruptions will topple big buildings and sink whole countries and islands.

Few places will be safe. Those deserving and have developed a sixth sense or intuition will be told where to go.

In the light of all these seemingly inevitable predictions, what can people do? Let me quote the last paragraph of Hogue’s book:

“The key to endless tomorrows is the realization that you, me, all of us, are the problem. Stop running away from the seeds of every human misery. Stop making excuses for the past. Your only home in the cosmos is on fire and every one of us is equally responsible for lighting the match and looking the other way. You are the problem, and you are also the answer. The first step toward saving the world is within.”

Will the world end in 2012?

The Mayan calendar predicted the world would end Dec. 21, 2012. Is this true?
Yes, the world, as we know it, will definitely end on that date, but it will not be the end of the world.

I hesitated to write this article because I did not want to scare people. But I was told by an angelic being that I must.

This article began on my way back to Manila from Poland. In a big book and electronics store at the Amsterdam airport, two titles caught my attention: “The End of Time, the Mayan Prophecies Revisited” by Adrian Gilbert and “Building Your Mental Muscle.”

The mysterious Mayan civilization flourished in meso America then disappeared without a trace. It left fabulous temples, pyramids and other strange monuments with stranger writings.

The Mayans always fascinated me. The amazing calendar they left behind traced the precise movements of the planets and the stars without using any instruments. It described the present earth cycle from Aug. 11, 3114 BC, to Dec. 21, 2012.

Back in Manila, I got a copy of an article by novelist Benjamin Anastas about the Mayan prophecies, reprinted from the New York Times, from my neighbor Ricky Gonzales, a management consultant. I was struck by the coincidence.

Escalating phenomenon
The article tells about the growing interest in recent years about doomsday scenarios as predicted by the Mayan calendar.

“The Mayan calendar,” according to the article, “is at the center of an escalating cultural phenomenon, with New Age roots, that unites numinous (spiritual) dreams of societal transformation with the darker tropes of biblical cataclysm. To some, 2012 will bring the end of time; to others, it carries the promise of a new beginning; still to others, 2012 provides an explanation for troubling new realities—environmental change, for example, that seem beyond the control of technology and impervious to reason.”

Predictions about the end of the world is nothing new. Ancient Gnostics, for example, predicted the arrival of God’s kingdom as early as the first century. Christians in Europe attacked pagan territories in the north to prepare for the end of the world in the first millennium.

The Shakers believed the world would end in 1792. The Jehovah’s Witnesses have set the end dates from 1914-1994.

“Any religious movement with an end-time prophecy is certain to attract followers,” says Anastas.

In the Philippines, a religious cult believed the world would end Dec. 31, 1999. Its members went inside a cave in Tagaytay wearing helmets and waited for the end that never came.
A few years before that, a retired military officer predicted the world would be destroyed and two-thirds of the population would perish. The other one-third would be taken by UFOs (unidentified flying objects) through a beam of light.

Different
With all these failed prophecies, why is the Mayan calendar prediction attracting a growing following even in the scientific community? Is there something different about it?
Yes, according to experts.

John Major Jenkins says the Mayan lineage goes back to 2000 years. He argues that the ancient Maya “calendar priests” charted a 26,000-year astronomical cycle, called precession of the equinoxes, with the naked eye.

The 2012 end-date coincides with the “galactic alignment” of the winter solstice sun and the axis that modern astronomers draw to bisect the Milky Way, called the galactic equator.

Adrian Gilbert, in his book “The End of Time,” says, “Not only is the night of 21-22 December the longest in the year, but because of the precession of the equinoxes it corresponds with the day the sun stands exactly at one of the star-gate crossing-points of the elliptic with the median plane of the Milky Way.”

Gilbert names this position the “southern star gate—its counterpart, the northern star gate being placed exactly over the up stretched hand of Orion.”

Precession refers to the “slow movement of the axis of a spinning object around another axis.” Equinox is “the time the sun crosses the celestial equator, when day and night are of equal length.”

Gilbert says this means on Dec. 22, any person observing the sun will also be looking toward the core of the Milky Way, the place astronomers say has a black hole with a mass some three million times that of our sun.

Gilbert believes what was prophesied in the Book of Revelations is already happening, coinciding with the Mayan calendar. “This moment,” says Gilbert, “when the sun is located at the southern star gate and Orion, with its northern star gate, is dominant in the night sky, will signify the termination of the tribulation prophesied in the Book of Revelation and the true beginning of a new age.”
