Yes, of COURSE Don is right!! I am sure that 'strange' and 'unexplained' things happen BUT these things, so far mis-understood or unexplained, DON'T mean because WE don't understand them, they have to be from 'another' world.
I think we, as a species, are far too vain to believe that we have NO SIGNIFIGANCE whatsover in cosmic terms, hence this delusion that is akin to little children who 'love to be frightened' believing in something which simply does not and has not EVER existed!!
This why some turn to religion....it is a 'prop' for thier egos.
Our lives are so regulated by so-called civillisation, the only expediency seems to be this desire in believing in something 'spiritual' or 'fantastic' to relieve the tedium and restraints we place on ourselves and each other.
As a species, we have evolved TOO fast for our own good, with materialism, greed and foolish ideas above our 'true station'.
Thinking WE are the EPITOME of all creation!! Sorry, we AREN'T. Until mankind (at least the so-called civillised version (!!) ) begins to realise that our destructive lifestyle is turning us into self deluded, self destructed, self opinioned 'masters of the universe' then Im afraid that we will never realise our TRUE potential. Learn from the life lessons of more really 'civillised' races ; The native Americans, South American tribal cultures that we have suppressed and tried to eradicate with our 'missionary' beliefs!!!! THESE people ARE living thier lives in a proper and dignified manner, despite THIER own beliefs and customs, which are an integral part of thier lives. To us, they may appear 'primitive' or at best, merely 'rustic'.....But I believe it is THEY who can teach us the VALUE of our reality and interaction with each other on this gem of a world...Forget your 'aliens' 'god cults' and spiritulism.....see it for what it is, a PROP......then set yourself FREE!! Love yourself, your neighbour your world and above all RESPECT ALL LIFE ON THIS WORLD, there will be time enough in the next life (if it exists) for looking for other intelligence and finding other truths. Regards and best wishes to ALL on THIS world.
