Why the US would be willing to help with abductions of its own citizens is beyond me...They did not have good intentions at all.
Originally posted by usaforeverSo your right, and a little wrong, some people in goverment do legitmetly care about the public, but I'm just being optimistic.
The people who evil-ET gets to abduct and cause pain to, are probably performing karmic alleviation. What I mean is that they are tagged as "hurtable" due to their low karma, whereas other humans are not allowed to be used by evil aliens.
The idea that some aliens are not nice doesn't mean they are not bound by law. It seems that they are, as are all aliens.
Now once you grasp these two ideas, you can easily grasp how some souls which are incarnated here are being punished. Yes that's right, some souls who get reborn here, committed horrible deeds in their previous life, and here on Earth, they will be karmically paid back for this. This is why some folks feel cursed while other's lives are 'blessed'. When you die, you have a certain number of 'points' or manna or merit (choose your own term) which determine a lot about who you are.

So going by this then, if I come across anyone that has done any wrong in life, that has some bad karma, they are open calling for me to treat badly then. If the aliens can, then why not myself
Whose law is this, who is enforcing this then.
Ahh so those born in poor countries, those who suffer poverty or being born handicapped are really being punished, they have been bad people in a former life and are being punished,
By the same token those born rich are really the best people, they have been nice in a previous life
saying life's unfortunates are getting what they deserve as they was bad people in a previous life is very offensive and I think you will find that most people will see it that way.

See, you have a soul and it keeps getting reborn.

In my opinion, there is one glaringly obvious flaw in this theory where everything falls apart. Population explosion.

Depends on if your heart is evil or good, or more correctly, service-to-self or service-to-others.

That's a very black and white concept that is thrown around by the new agers, life and people are much more complex than that, life is not black and white but various shades of grey, humans are motivated by a hell of a lot more than something as simple a service to self or others, I hear that phrase a lot and its very silly, peoples choices are influenced by many many factors not something as simple as just being selfish, that's idea really is kind of funny, if it was that simple we would not have psychologists and sociologists, no need for science everyone, its just people being selfish.
On this karma idea and being rewarded or punished.

I don't think life is mealy about happiness, I believe self actualisation to be more important, given the choice to have half you intellect and be twice as happy, would you choose that option, I think you would not like to be a happy fool, what about to double your intellect but half your happiness, maybe yes, perhaps no, would being a melancholy genius appeal to you.
perhaps life is a learning experience, then if so being born rich perhaps you would not learn much, but being born poor and becoming rich through your endeavours you would learn a great deal, perhaps we learn from our adversity, if so perhaps those that face it and overcome it are richer in the soul than those that do not, or perhaps dare not, does one get a choice in what one lives, if so, do some take the easy options and learn little, while others learn a hard lesson but learn a lot and become rich in the soul because of it.

Okay, if that's what you want to believe. It's okay, but it doesn't make sense to me.
That's why I don't get it. It sounds like bad sci-fi to me, which is what this isn't about.

Thanks smallpeeps, I like the way you think. I suspected something along the lines you speak as not Earth-limited - that we all have a common consciousness everywhere.
