Lori,
Ok, firstly you are now asking that we believe in aliens as well as god.
So, I guess my first question would be didn't god create the aliens ?
Secondly, the revelation and what it means is filled with so much interpretation from you it's I dare say purposely vague. I am not saying your making it up, but if god came to anyone and revealed these things. I would imagine it would be pretty damn clear. It's not.
You are left to interpret almost everything and therefore it's just a matter of time before you can fit enough of the pieces together to make it appear real.
Your reason for this is that you are to search for the answers, but it is more likely that there are no answers, only pieces of a puzzle that has no meaning.
If it were truly from god, and the whole of humankind depended on getting it right it would be so perfected and complete and precise so that you don't screw it up.
Here from Spider:
That is a phenomenon known as selective attention. Once you adopt a faith that this wild predictive fantasy is true, everything that contradicts it will be ignored, and anything can be interpreted as aligning with it gets your attention, even when it requires a high degree of creative interpretation. This is actually a pretty common logical error in science and other fields.
The same thing happens to baseball players. One time they rub their hat in some way and hit a homerun. Thereafter, they always rub their hat and when they don't hit a home run, they ignore it or rationalize it, when they do, it becomes confirmation of their erroneous assumption.
Is what I feel is happening and it is not that your making it up, it's that you have delved into all of these areas and maybe had some kind of epiphany by putting this and that together and now you feel you know. And now you are just looking for the pieces that fit, ignoring any that don't.
my point is, that if and when i relate these experiences and revelations to religious people, they are either led to want to pray for me, or burn me at the stake, or possibly pray for me as they burn me at the stake (you know how they can be).
Yes they would. They have done that in the past for merely suggesting that there may be life outside of earth.
my point is jpappl, that i in no way shape or form, read these scriptures, and deducted interpretations the likes of these intellectually. and that should be rather obvious. i couldn't have made some shit up like this in a million years.
Well you could the question is did you and why. And I am not suggesting you are lying or being deceitful, I asked awhile back if there was anything else that this could be and I still believe that there is.
You have accepted this and the belief is now engrained and it is very difficult to get yourself out of it and disengage from it.
For years I was convinced we were being visited by ET's, the more I delved into it the more I questioned it the more I found that we just don't know. I feel far less confident about it now than years ago.
Doesn't mean that it hasn't happened or is happening, but there is not the type of evidence to say yes it is for sure.
If you want to discuss that possibility I could show you some stuff that at first you would say there is only one thing that could be, but upon greater scrutiny it falls apart.
Ultimately you come to realize that even if they were visiting us, they would do everything they could to make sure we are not made aware of them.
I will read it again and let you know if I might have some more questions. Still a little busy.
And again thanks for sharing I know you opened up yourself to everyone and that takes guts.
