While not appearing to be in order of importance, it is argued that one through four seem almost out of place. Five through ten appear to be very good rules to live by, although seen as common sense for most of us. Number one blows our Freedom of Religion Act out of the water, although there are many more religions then that of the One God that are far older. With the exception of Christianity, most don't believe or at least don't claim to be the only one true way. The fact that 1 through 4 seem to mainly deal with and benefit the source or god referred to in them, has caused a new possibility to arise among some ufo believers. This idea is that perhaps some of our religions, ancient myths, legends, and even such things as the Ten Commandments, etc...may have an alien origin. Some believe that religion may have been given to man in a time when we were young an ignorant, and needed guidance. Some will even argue that the source for this guidance may have been a higher evolved intelligence such as alien visitors. One must ask themself, what is the purpose of 1 through 3 if they are indeed coming from an all knowing, all loving god, creator of all things? Is there no room for human error? Can any of these acts not be forgiven? 1 through 3 seem to be attempts in making sure that you stay faithful to only one god or being, and to do otherwise would be a horrendous act against the faith. This mind-set seems to pertain primarily to a material God, giving almost human qualities to it, not the growing belief that God is more of an energy or lifeforce that emanates throughout all things and connects us on some level we don't yet understand. I don't like even mentioning the term God in the light of such strong belief systems of the many different cultures of the world, but many are leaning towards the belief that all things together as one, make up God, all things we know and have yet to know. In this respect, the phrase We are all Gods children may indeed be true. The view that would hold God as a seperate being, much higher evolved than man, here for our sole benefit, watching over Earth, to be worshipped or foresaken (sometimes even punished) by, seems to be a slowly fading one.
Looking back now, it's hard to believe that there was a time when we would punish, torture, exile, and even kill those that went against a certain faith or just chose to live or believe in their own way, all in the name of God, but imposed by man. How is one to know which religion to choose when there are so many to choose from? Or perhaps it really doesn't matter which you choose, it's more in the way you choose to live and the decisions you make. Some argue, what is the purpose of their creation if they were created only to serve or worship a god? Some have even argued that if there is only one true "way", then that "way" should make itself more evident. I personally, don't hold myself to any one religion. The die-hard believer might argue that Moses talking to God sounds a lot like telepathic communications from an alien source, and all the other events associated with him such as the burning bush, parting of the Red Sea, objects in the sky, and other miracles, were just misinterpreted encounters and the intervention of alien visitors. Countless other tales from ancient times have been subjected to the same new age, somewhat radical theories. Imagine if you could go back in time and interact with what most would refer to as a caveman. How would you be described if this person had the ability to document the encounter? Simple things to us, such as fire or perhaps even a radio might seems like miracles. You might even be viewed as a god yourself. How did the concept of Gods realm or Heaven being up, the sky, stars or space, originate? Did man have advanced visitors long, long ago that came down from the sky (the heavens) in fiery crafts and were thereafter viewed as gods? Since science and religion went their separate ways ages ago, events have often been relayed to others differently, depending on the point of view and beliefs of the one telling the event. There are locations around the world that people go to regularly to catch a glimpse of God, the Mother Mary, etc...While some see images of Mary, others see UFO's. Maybe it depends on what you believe you will see that influences the visual people get at such events, if there is truely something to see in the first place. A true skeptic might brush it off as mass hallucinations by people wanting to see something incredible.
Will we ever know the truth about our evolution and what has gotten us to where we are today? We can only hope, but my own opinion currently lies somewhere with the combination of the above scenarios. We believe it is possible that multiple events and interactions with other beings, has led to our current state. Many are now considering that maybe what we have been lead to believe about where we came from, how we should live, religion, the meaning of life, etc... are full of misconceptions and false information. Does the government know something so shocking (concerning aliens and their connection with us) that they have been forced to keep it from us? At times, they themselves give this impression. Each of us will eventually draw our own conclusions as to what we think is true. We can only draw on our individual experiences and knowledge to base a decision, so try not to be so surprised when others talk of other possible realities that we may be unaware of, at present.
One can only blame movies, partially, for the fear, nonsense, and ridicule that comes from such a controversial subject. The fact that aliens aren't reported to look like strange, destructive, unintelligent monsters, robots, etc... that want to destroy or take over the planet (like in the old movies), is a large step away from the War of the Worlds scenario, for if destruction or slavery was the agenda, one would think such actions would have been imposed by now. A main aspect of the abduction phenomenon, is that the focus tends to be on the destruction we are causing to the Earth. Abductees often come out of such an experience, being more concerned about the way we live and interact with our environment. Many also show signs of heightened psychic abilities, while showing no indication of a mental disorder of any kind. Even though the experience of many abductees is viewed as a negative experience, the end result seems to be positive. Many abductees who have moved beyond the traumatic experience, tend to have a deeper need to understand the meaning of life and true purpose, and feel compelled to search for answers and teach others in a positive manner. Some, even believe that they have a mission to help open our minds to a larger existence or reality and prepare others for eventual contact. These individuals, often believe it is their job to insert the seed, idea, or thought that will get us moving in the right direction, along a more peaceful and spiritual path.
In fact, a large majority of alien descriptions given by contactees, abductees, remote viewers, etc...tend to be humanoid in appearance. Unfortunately, this doesn't do much for either side of the subject. Skeptics will argue that aliens from other worlds wouldn't look like us, while some believers argue that we might be space brothers or descendents of these beings. They argue that if man was created in the image of his creator or god, then perhaps our god is no more than an alien race or higher evolved intelligence that started us out or influenced us along the way, and periodically pops in from time to time to check our status and/or influence events.
