the other thing I don't get....
why do these supposed aliens always call themselves what we would call them, from out point of view on earth ?
For example these pleiadians, wouldn't they call themselves something completely different? I doubt our name for their star / solar system is the same one we would use...
Or the other way around - in an intergalactic community we might refer to ourselves as the Terrans.....yes people from the solar system of blasdfhhhhf might call us grobledanks after their name for our system - yes if we visited them or contacted them for the first time we would not know thatedit on 28-3-2013 by siliconpsychosis because: (no reason given)

Better yet:
WHICH star? The Pleiades is a cluster of stars (very, very YOUNG stars that were not even around when our dinos were).
WHICH one are they from?

I take the perspective of if they wanted to invade, they could and would have done it by now. I see other species as being aware, as many of us are now becoming, of what we are, which is to say ideas of the intelligent infinite that we call God. We are all the same thing. I'm not saying there aren't warrior races out there, living in duality as we are. I look at it like this.. I can't know any one race/culture/species is "good/bad" because I've never met one. At least not a physical one. Why can't we make our own judgment based on reasoning and experience? I'm supposed to take the word of folks telling me to be afraid of whats coming with no personal experience to validate it with? I should worry because people in times long past witnessed things they could not describe? And even If a an accurate description made it through the ages in tact, it was decided to be referred to as being "metaphorical".
Simply put, I see what the purpose of your posts were now. I will however stick with my gut that tells me that "ET" is not going to destroy us. They are our brothers and sisters in the universe.

There is more than 1 ET.

A central part of Sḵwx̱wú7mesh history in their oral culture is the stories of supernatural deities often called The Transformers. These Transformers, were three brothers, sent by the Creator or keke7nex siyam. These three beings had supernatural powers, often using them to "transform" individuals into creatures, stone figures, or other supernatural event.
In the valley along the Squamish River, there was a large two-headed serpent called Sínulhḵay̓ which terrorized the people, eating them and making a loud screeching noise.[8][9] In the village of Stá7mes, a young man named Xwechtáal had recently become married and was enjoying the days after the big feast, when his father told him, "You must go kill that serpent." Xwechtáal protested that he had only recently been married, and wanted to enjoy his time with his new wife, start a family, and live his life. He told his father he would not go. The next morning, his father came to his bed and threw glacier cold water on him, waking him up. He told his son again, "You will go kill that two-headed serpent" and this time, Xwechtáal agreed. He told his wife he would only be gone four days, and that she should wait for him until his return.
reface: After writing the poem "First Poem in Paris" about Rilke's "The Panther" (1902) and the film Cat People (1942), I began reading more about Rilke's time in Paris with Rodin and the influence of the sculptor on his poetry. I also consulted books and the web on the symbolism and the mythology of the panther. Here are my notes on this creature in myth as well as in the Bible and Dante's Inferno. While the image of the panther strikes fear as a ferocious beast, it is interesting that many positive symbolisms are associated with the panther. During Medieval times, the panther typifies Christ, who stays in the cave for three days, emerging from the darkness with a sweet breath. The ancient Greeks believed the panther was one of the favored mounts of the god Dionysus. In the Egyptian Book of the Dead, Pepi pass through the ceiling of heaven with his panther skin upon him. Thus the panther signifies the overcoming of the lower earthly desires. The Native Americans regard the panther as the Protector of the universe. It is interesting that Rilke selected this powerful totem, the panther at the Paris Zoo, for his object of contemplation.
Panther: The panther (or leopard) was a totemic symbol of Dionysis, whose priests wore panther-skins. Its name in Greek meant "All-beast" referring to the god as "the All" which was also another beast version of divinity, Pan. Panthers were much admired in Rome, and were imported from Africa for public displays and games in the arena.
Panther Skin: A symbol signifying the overcoming of the lower desires. "The iron which is the ceiling of heaven opens itself before Pepi, and he passes through it with his panther skin upon him, and his staff and whip in his hand." — E.A. Wallis Budge, Book of the Dead, Vol. I, p. lxiii. The higher mind, which is the firmament below the buddhic plane, is receptive of the consciousness of the purified soul which has overcome the desires, and actively aspires to that which is above.
In China there were five mythic cats, sometimes painted like tigers or leopards. The black reigns in the north with winter as its season of power, and water it's most effective element. This is the element of the feminine. This is the totem of greater assertion of feminine in all her aspects: child, virgin, seductress, mother, warrioress, seeress, old wise woman.
The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them. — Isaiah, XI.6
Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots? then may ye also do good, that are accustomed to do evil. — Jeremiah, XIII.23
