Originally posted by smallpeepsGood thread Dalen, but my question is, have you ever seen a grey or a nordic or a lizard? How can you
know what the alignment of any of them is? I do like your theory but I haven't seen any of these beings so it's hard to have an opinion.

No I have not seen any alien life form. Your right it is speculation.
As far as alignment, maybe this will help to clarify.
I grew up in a religious milieu. I questioned the thing which I professed to believe, as things just didnt line up, etc. This great almighty God of
love just is full of contradictions, and in my times of deep sorrows, was not there. Which made me question the legitamacy of such a God as professed
by my milieu. The truth came to me that there was not a God that could hear a word I was saying, let alone it be good.
So I went as deep as I could into my belief to see where I would come out on the other side.
When I came up, I had a solid understanding of the actual text itself (I had already studied the Bible my whole life in school, it was not alien to
me). Terms such as Elohim, (gods), etc.
I started looking at other religions, comparing themes...looking outside of religion and seeing the theme of aliens and seeing there are themes that
cross into religion.
This whole thing is a puzzle for me, as it is with all of us. We speculate, however when we are open to feeling out the puzzel from different
perspectives, it starts to come together.
As I mentioned before, I may only have 2 pieces that make up a corner of the puzzle...so I do not see clearly...though I do see clearer than where I
was at before.
So in saying this, I have used the terminology of a Jew/Christian in trying to help explain further the theory from that perspective. Its kind of like
Judaism where there is P.R.D.S (levels of understanding of the meaning of Genesis in particular)...Im just revelaing to Jews/Christians (the latter
probably more surprised than the former, as people in Jewish mysticism already can potentially see this clearer) ...revealing it to teh milieu I grew
up with as another layer.
Truth be told, all religions are pointing to something beyond themselves.
Much like the words I write point beyond them.
So as for alignment I have just pondered how I have seen life in general.
How those who rule are alway white (or whether the winners always claim to be white), and the loser is always black. How the God is not almighty and
actually seems like a jealous God(s) in the tower of babel situation and in the garden. (they will be like "us")
Someone not entrenched in religion would call that suspect to begin with.
So tying that together and then looking at what happened with Satan (realizeing this is a hard topic as in Judaism Satan is not the same as in
Christianity, or rather the role he plays...to much to get into now). And then seeing how all he did was help open their eyes to be like the "gods"
which, when you take away the almighty status to them, make them more like scientist, who play gods.
Think of it this way, I posted a link somewhere on this thead, regarding robots.
In an article it said that one day their intelligence might be like ours and surpass it, making us like mosquitos to squash.
Lets say this happens. Think of it this way, humans who make robots think they have a right over them, but the day they disobey, we say, "lets pull
the cirucuits, their not real"...but at what point are they real. At some point we wont be able to pull the circuit.
Now that may be to far out and people will argue they are never real.
Which brings the point of both Judaism and Christianity which teach there are soul-less people. (yes even the latter, I can prove it as the people who
are characters in the New Testament were Jews and it was written by Jews...so the concept of soullessness is their for the Christians, but after
centuries of indoctrination, people skip over it. Even in Judaims they will argue everything has a soul, but most people dont know that Judaism
teaches 5 levels of the soul...)
Anyway the point is, maybe there is an extra something out there...that would make a robot not the same as a human with a soul...(im talking about
advanced robotics taking over.)
But to help clarify where I was at, lets say that the "gods" were like scientist creating life in the labs. And we were that, and then they think
that they own it. (Now another debate goes into who created the life to begin with, did it come out of cosmic goo...
I have brought up more points to speculate, such as what is the soul, does it exist, if it does how does it make one have the right over another,
etc.
But in a quick summary, I will say again, that seeing behind the scenes of the text, and observing human behavior, and seeing consistency in stories
across the spectrum...you can easily pull out that 1/3 or a small amount of aliens are good and due to this small amount, it is why its hard for
disclosure, cause they aint in charge. (If the religious accounts have any truth to it.)
But if I can help to pull out any more points or clarify, I would be happy to do so.
Until then, have fun in the search.
Peace
