This refers back to the Alex Collier material. I've seen Alex Collier. He is very serious about what he is doing. And I see you turning it into an "interesting read."
I think a person should either get into this subject or stay out of it. From my view, you're in it whether you like it or not. But I don't need a bunch of people dealing with this subject who are going to take material like Alex Collier's and just dismiss it.
Alex's problem, from what I can tell, is that he's in over his head. If he can't step back and get some perspective to what he is doing, he'll go crazy.
It is quite possible, because this seems to be true of many contactees, that Alex is on a line that is not being totally honest with him. Some of these contacts seem very friendly and full of useful data, but in the end the contactee is running around in circles wondering what to do.
I've only seen a few contactees really settle down and turn their data into something that makes sense to other people. Most of them go off on some spiritualistic or New Age tangent. Those guys are deceiving themselves.
I've listened to (or read reports from) probably close to a hundred different people who claim to have gained important knowledge from ET sources. I think a number of them are quite sincere. But so much of it comes down to "believe in us." So for most of us it's a confusion, because we're not prepared to join some weird new religion just because some guy claims he met Jehovah in person or something (real example).
But if you are going to end up with a worthwhile opinion on this subject you're going to have to wade through a bunch of this material until you can begin to tell where useful ends and garbage begins. If you're not prepared to do that, I wouldn't recommend even reading it. Even if it does seem "interesting."

Thats exactly what I wanted to say. Believing in alien life is different from believing in an elder counsil of beta draconians who are out there in rigel star system and are trying to enslave humanity despite the nordics attempt to interfere. Its called fantasy and imo people are gullible. Its not worth a good investigative report. I would prefer Leslie Kean's book.
This is a very interesting UFO painting from Haratonohama, Hitachi, Japan in 1803. There was a book written about it Ume No Chiri that said "foreign ship and crew" was spotted on the shore of Haratonohama, Hitachi, Japan and that the ship was made of metal and glass with strange writings on it. This is the artists rendition of the flying saucer resembling space ship.

Who knows how these ET's travel. And its possible that they could be Time Travelers they dont have to be Aliens. And plus im sure it would be friendly. Just because most of our species are savage idiots doesnt mean they would have to be.

Or do you have a politically incorrect urge to step on them? If we ever do meet a Type 3 civilization that can harness these extra dimensions, I would hope that they don’t step on us.

One of my problems with this line of thinking, is that if a civilization reached that level of advancement, is it really logical to expect them to be hostile beings? As you become more advanced it gets easier and easier to exterminate yourself, and if these beings weren't enlightened, it seems to me they would have destroyed themselves through technology. Like the movie Contact; "Panel Member: If you were to meet these Vegans, and were permitted only one question to ask of them, what would it be?
Ellie Arroway: Well, I suppose it would be, how did you do it? How did you evolve, how did you survive this technological adolescence without destroying yourself?" To me at least, it hardly seems possible to advance that far technologically, yet still be nasty, brutish creatures like humans. I mean we are hardly advanced at all, yet could be on the verge of destroying ourselves.
