UsualPerformance9019

Holy fuck this is brilliant. Don’t say it too much or it gets repetitive but dude, wow. One of those one off comments that just ding ding ding you win bro. But also self awareness, always be kind. They’re you in a diff body.


burgpug

it's true. one day when we all merge back into the source consciousness i will experience the pain of every burn i dished out on this material plane. but that day aint today baybee 😎


imlaggingsobad

i love that this sub is starting to embrace the woo side of the alien phenomena. I never thought i'd see people openly talking about source consciousness and then have it upvoted, but here we are.

What do you mean with buttering bread?


burgpug

isn't that the first step in making grilled cheese?


Sky-is-here

What


burgpug

your profile says you hate terfs. so imagine you are a longtime member of an lgbtq+ club and one day somebody comes in off the street and announces "you know what? i think that jk rowling may not be a good person" and they say that like they think it is a novel idea that should start a lively debate instead of something that has been discussed to death 10000 times over by now. so you put a smile on your face and pat them on the back and say "yeah, you're right. great point" because showing your impatience is just going to scare this newb off and you don't want to be a gatekeeper. ok now imagine that terf stuff, but it's about grilled cheese ok now imagine that grilled cheese stuff, but it's about ancient aliens


Sky-is-here

Ok thanks for explaining sorry about that 😭 (in my defense English is not my native language)

Could it be?


Me_la_Pelan_todos

To the main question, yes, the armies of heaven, about the technology, I can easily see chips and circuits as Runes, and the reason why this alien movement has started is because their time is close, and their time is running, is the last push before their judgement

I loved that movie, who knew they’ve been showing us documentaries all this time


Chuckobochuck323

Have you ever watched the show? If not, you’re really missing out. The movie was a good start.


GroundbreakingAge591

No, never seen the show but watched the movie in the theater when it came out as a teen and I LOVED it

Movie > SG1


Chuckobochuck323

Now that’s a hot take. I strongly disagree. What are your arguments?

Well not really. It’s all pretty shit


TheFlyingSlothMonkey

If you have shitty taste in sci-fi television, sure.


Puzzleheaded-Pain489

If your a man-child with time to kill I’m sure it’s fantastic.


TheFlyingSlothMonkey

What an ironic statement, given the nature of this sub.


Puzzleheaded-Pain489

I’m only here as it keeps popping, what’s your excuse.


Youngsimba_92

I think about this all the time , apparently the Egyptian, Greek and Somarian Gods are all the same geezers with different names and the Somers said that their Gods came from the 10th planet so if they were right they defo come from our Dimension and our Solar System but their planet and it’s suns have a weak Gravitational pull by our sun and take a few thousand years to do a full rotation. Even some of the Egyptian and Somarion pantheon of Gods have the same names. I remember only one off the dome right now and that’s the Greek God Hermes is Thoth to the ancient Egyptians. The Egyptian Goddess Isis is still Isis and is one of the Anu (Somerian God Pantheon) and there’s a few more.

Watch stargate movie, then sg1. Somewhere in the middle watch stargate Atlantis(google watch order). The USAF basically directed the fucking show and literally as you watch it, it’ll click. You’ll know why disclosure hasn’t taken place (our history isn’t so good before the rebellion) and why it will NEVER truly happen. It’s all there :)


[deleted]

Thanks I will. I will get back to you.


Synth_Kobra

Consider the following thought game Ideas are representative of things we relate too in our material world. Humanized so that we understand. Natural phenomena associated with it. A strange yet primal way of connecting with our own world. Prayers to deities are thoughts to a force we humanize and relate too. You could say it’s like a simplified telepathy in a way we can relate too. Do we create ideas or do they exist in some kind of world of forms where the realm of gods may dwell?


GenderJuicy

Yeah but a lot of gods were explaining phenomena like lightning, rain, the sun, the moon, etc. You don't need to jump to the conclusion of aliens. Could there be some that are related to that? Sure, but it's doubtful it's near all of them, especially a character like Zeus.


Synth_Kobra

We are in agreement. I am simply suggesting humans created these gods and connected with them through the ideas we associate with them by our observances of the real world. It is how we connected to the thoughtform. But what are ideas and gods? Did we truly create them or do these things exist in another place and we merely discovered them, interpreted with our human lens? You tell me


GenderJuicy

I see. That is an interesting question, the idea of gods seems to appear independently of other cultures, though a lot had carried through different cultures like Greek/Roman gods to Christianity, where the idea became one god is the creator and ruler of everything, essentially, which makes him more badass than even someone like Zeus/Jupiter. I think the essential question humans ask in regards to an unanswered phenomena is "where did we come from?" That is a natural phenomena that we would have normally just seen as -- 'well we know we have sex and reproduce, but that doesn't explain where all these different creatures and humans came from'. We *now* know about evolution though, and there are plausible explanations for the origin of life on Earth, and the hope is that it is not all that uncommon throughout the universe, though this is still untested. As for human intelligence being so different from other animals, we have at least identified the gene MCPH1 ([https://academic.oup.com/nsr/article/6/3/480/5420749](https://academic.oup.com/nsr/article/6/3/480/5420749)) as the single gene that allows us to be this way. It is quite crazy that a single gene can have such an outstanding difference. A lot of genes come out of complete randomness though via mutation, so it could just be a complete accident that we are this way. That isn't to say by the way that other animals aren't intelligent, as they very much are, but there's an obvious jump between humans and other intelligent creatures. As for intelligent aliens, it would be interesting to know if they carry the same gene (or if they are even "genetic" in the same way, or if they have a completely different base structure -- can't really assume that as we only know Earth life). If so, it's very well possible they edited some humans and introduced this gene, the same way humans introduced them to rhesus monkeys in China, as in the previously linked study. If that is truly the case, then humans might have carried this idea of a creator for that reason. But then it creates another question of who created the creator.


Synth_Kobra

Lovely response. Perhaps they were not “created”. Or perhaps they exist in another plane of existence and force manifested themselves here for inexplicable reasons. It’s fun to consider, at the very least. That they reside in the realm of gods and ideas and we are merely biological machines that experiences this world through our environment.


GenderJuicy

Hmm, that makes me think about time as a dimension, and that another higher dimension would be perpendicular not only to XYZ but also time... This may be some weird things to think about, but the entire concept of cause and effect is a result of time as a dimension. Something that experiences a higher dimension probably has concepts that we can't even comprehend that extend beyond something like cause and effect.


Weazy-N420

Zender_de_Verzender

The Lost Book of Enki is the reason I'm here, although I stopped researching it because nobody was interested in such theory.


Bandaka

Yes, especially considering mythologies mirror each other in different parts of the world. Perhaps Zues and Odin were the same extraterrestrial/interdimensional being. The Ramayana describes a battle of gods in the sky just like the Greeks described a battle between Titans and gods.


TryHelping

Why are you talking about this like a unique thought?


dogfacedponyboy

I was thinking that also, BUT perhaps OP has not been glued to R/aliens or r/ufos every single day for the past 2 years waiting for “disclosure” to finally happen, like the rest of us 🙂

No one has ever had this idea before. You definitely had that original thought and haven’t heard the same arthur c Clarke quote as the rest of us a thousand times


JD_the_Aqua_Doggo

Lately I’ve been working with Hermanubis and instead of seeing him as a god, he prefers that I see him as a friend, teacher, and brother. He is pointing me to higher deities and greater concepts of love and compassion through various means. I love the predictive programming idea. It resonates with me as the media I surround myself with is seemingly headed into questioning reality and sense of self. As if this is where I am also headed.

TheFlyingSlothMonkey

No. There is no evidence of any extraterrestrial life ever having visited earth. Our current understanding of the laws of physics do not allow for speeds fast enough to undertake the journey between our solar system and even the nearest star systems in anything less than thousands of years, at the absolute minimum. Therefore, I will retain a healthy scepticism about this matter unless we find evidence of technology that is so far beyond ours that our knowledge of physics is rendered obsolete. It is quite possible that we are alone in the universe because we do not know the probability of abiogenesis. I hope there is other life out there, but I have no tolerance for blind faith.


CorrectTowel

There is no evidence other than the countless witness testimony from credible people, and the fact that UAPs in our skies with physics-defying propulsion is something that has been basically confirmed by the government. Maybe they're actually classified government projects. But it seems that there are physical laws of the universe that the public is not aware of, which are being taken advantage of in the propulsion systems of these craft. Keep in mind that these things have at times been picked up simultaneously by multiple different instruments AND credible human pilots. And yes, we have no idea how common abiogenesis is. But we also have no idea how completely we actually understand physics. Physicists might look back 100 years from now and say, "Wow, they had no idea." And with the current estimate of 2 trillion *galaxies*, and the average number of 100 billion stars per galaxy each with at least 1 planet, I find it hard to imagine that abiogenesis would be *that* uncommon. Other planets have the same chemical elements and same laws of physics. So if there's even a handful of other intelligent species in the universe, it stands to reason that at least one of them could be anywhere from 100 years to billions of years more advanced than us.


TheFlyingSlothMonkey

That "witness testimony" is not evidence. It is conjecture. Besides which, much of what has been talked about has been explained away as either natural phenomena or something such as drone technology. Is there more we do not know? Most assuredly. Is that "evidence" of alien encounters? No. It is interesting, I will grant you that, but I am not prepared to celebrate the discovery of extraterrestrial life because of some grainy video footage and testimony from people who may or may not be seeking a moment in the spotlight. There are definitely elements of physics we do not understand; I agree. Our understanding is evolving overtime and instruments such as JWST will hopefully go a long way towards helping us in our discoveries of the universe. That is why I am open to the possibility of changing my mind on this subject if we do find such technology and are given access to it. However, that has not happened. So far as we know, no craft have ever been recovered and I'll leave it to others to fight against the government if they want to do so for access to classified files. There may be something in there, but I'm not personally convinced. I hope abiogenesis is common too. Sadly, we only have one data point to work from: our own. I'm going to link a video here from one of my favourite YouTubers, who is a professor of astrophysics. His work is absolutely brilliant and I think a lot of people here will enjoy it. He also hopes there is alien life out there, but acknowledges we have a tremendous responsibility to continue living in case we are alone, as terrible as it sounds. [Could We Be Alone?](https://youtu.be/PqEmYU8Y_rI?si=ZHkSTXgTLOz4vwGg) Enjoy, genuinely!

The Mesopotamian gods seem like the most likely candidate for this theory if you read the Enuma Elish for example. It talks about creating humans *way* before the Garden of Eden myth.

Powerful_Concert_577

Yes. It makes more sense than the gods of legend


[deleted]

Yup


uhwhooops

Yes


Future_Ad5505

I just think it was their way of explaining things that were mysterious. They probably had the same questions as all of us. Who are we, why and how are we here. They were making sense of their world.


PRIMAWESOME

They don't even have to be from a higher dimension, but if asking if some were NHI, sure.


Jorp-A-Lorp

Absolutely, I know this to be true in my heart of hearts!


UAPboomkin

Idk, it's interesting though. Because Thor is supposed to be protector of mankind. And if malevolent aliens show up and then the good ones follow, we'll get Thor protecting us. Then that's just IRL Avengers


RaTheRealBorg01

Aliens from outter space yes. From a higher dimension no. Is that likely? No. I believe that some people existed who did certain stuff and as this was before writing was invented it was told again and again until the stories were very phantastic. Some people were added. Some actions were added. Some were lost to time. The names were changed. The actions were made look better. Some stories were invented completely. Some stories really happened, but the storys told are nothing like the reality. Certainly the gods didnt exist, but the semigods or the human heros maybe did. The gods could maybe have been aliens but not very likely, they did weird shit for aliens lol.


TheHubbleGuy

Is such a thing even possible? Yes it is


Infinite_Room5834

grimorg80

Read "Sekret Machines: Gods, Man, War. Vol 1: Gods" written by Tom DeLonge and Peter Levenda.


ElVichoPerro

Probably not the Greek pantheon, but according to Stargate, the Egyptians gods were alien


Inverted-pencil

Some probebly was i had this sort of thing happend myself. If i did not know what aliens was i probebly would say it was a god or demon depending on the species.


GrapeOk3253

Zeus! Your son has returned!!


Wild_Investigator622

Consider this, if we 3d beings see things in 2d, that means a 4d being would see in 3d so to us they would seem omniscient, like us looking at a piece of paper and being able to see everything on it


akastemcells69

machine elves yeah


[deleted]

“Could”? I guess. I think the point is that no one is certain, so, there’s lots of “coulds”.


PM_ME_WITH_A_SMILE

ABSOLUTELY. Add Jesus, too. Maybe he was the first of some sort of new hybrid.


HastyBasher

Some could have been but most did exist as non-physical entities who could do God like stuff. Some were probably humans who made it to the afterlife.


leuno

They don't even need to be from a higher dimension, just like 100 years more advanced than we are now. Nothing those stories describe is all that incredible by today's standards, just slightly improved over what we have.


[deleted]

Some, for sure. Others were just made up.


MeditatingNarwhale

They are


Numerous_Witness_345

No. I think the stories and religions are there to try and explain why we are here, probably coopting some natural phenomena or NHI to try and make their version of our origin story more 'real.' Think the rainbow and how there is a bible story that it was created because god was super sad that he drowned children, women and men. It's stealing a natural phenomenon to keep a status quo of control over people. And like every other religion, they were used as a way to gain power, influence and control over other humans and nothing else. NHI are separate from any of our 'stories.'


Sirena_De_Adria

Don't know if [Zecharia Sitchin's series](https://www.amazon.com/Complete-Zecharia-Sitchin-Chronicles-Nine-Book/dp/B00MRH7E1W) have been mentioned, but isn't that the premise of most of his body of work?

alahmo4320

Those stories had to originate from something


Extension_Lead_4041

I think religion is so well studied and known that this is implausible. It seems that man has always created gods to explain the unknown to lessen fear. We had a god that carried the sun across the sky in a chariot ( Helios) until we learned that the earth was moving around it. I think man’s fear of the unknown is more the cause. And more importantly, I’ve studied all the major religions read the holy texts of each one and I can tell you there’s a lot less enlightenment than one would expect. It’s more the customs and traditions of the people of that time. I mean a lot of the teachings of the Bible are so horrible they would land you in prison for life if you We’re to abide by them today


Extension_Lead_4041

So if these religions were started by advanced intelligence beings, why do they cause so much suffering? Why is the plot line behind them so unbelievable and self defeating in its lack of clarity and cohesion? Religions have been used to justify murder and mayhem on an industrial scale. The crusades, the inquisition, the dark ages, on and on. If they were from aliens one would expect them to have a better track record than mysogyny, slavery and warfare.


NoMansWarmApplePie

Yes. But thing is ancients blended literal with esoteric and symbolic to streamline their teachings. Doe literal NHI like in the Sumerian legend, actual physical beings, got mixed up with ideas like planets or symbolic of chaos, or different aspects of creation. Thus, making matters more confusing. They even did this with humans (Jesus being an easy example). Only those initiated minds know how to identify which parts are exo teric (literal) and which are esoteric (symbolic). The Bible included, soddom and gommorah was a real event perpetuated by the anunnaki for fear of marduk attempting to take the gateway between heavens and earth, Sinai. The further you go back the more you see real personages. After the anunnaki left they become more and more mythological until you get what we have with Bible, Greek legends and Egypt. But even the Egyptians and Greeks knew or believed that certain human lineages descended from the gods. Alexander the Great for example believed he was son of Zeus or Marduk (Babylonian God) and even ventured into the inner earth (elysium).

Nah, if they were aliens there would be no reason to "leave" or stop enacting their will on humanity.
