“Do you not know, Asclepius, that Egypt is an image of heaven, or, to speak more exactly, in Egypt all the operations of the powers which rule and work in heaven have been transferred to earth below?"
This land and region will be filled with foreigners; not only will men neglect the service of the gods, but … ; and Egypt will be occupied by Scythians or Indians or by some such race from the barbarian countries thereabout. In that day will our most holy land, this land of shrines and temples, be filled with funerals and corpses. To thee, most holy Nile, I cry, to thee I foretell that which shall be; swollen with torrents of blood, thou wilt rise to the level of thy banks, and thy sacred waves will be not only stained, but utterly fouled with gore.
Do you weep at this, Asclepius? There is worse to come; Egypt herself will have yet more to suffer; she will fall into a far more piteous plight, and will be infected with yet more, grievous plagues; and this land, which once was holy, a land which loved the gods, and wherein alone, in reward for her devotion, the gods deigned to sojourn upon earth, a land which was the teacher of mankind in holiness and piety, this land will go beyond all in cruel deeds. The dead will far outnumber the living; and the survivors will be known for Egyptians by their tongue alone, but in their actions they will seem to be men of another race.
Darkness will be preferred to light, and death will be thought more profitable than life; no one will raise his eyes to heaven ; the pious will be deemed insane, and the impious wise; the madman will be thought a brave man, and the wicked will be esteemed as good. As to the soul, and the belief that it is immortal by nature, or may hope to attain to immortality, as I have taught you, all this they will mock at, and will even persuade themselves that it is false. No word of reverence or piety, no utterance worthy of heaven and of the gods of heaven, will be heard or believed.
...For Gods will has no beginning; it is ever the same, and as it now is, even so it has ever been, without beginning. For it is the very being of God to purpose good.”
Everyday I'm more convinced that we were created not by some supernatural deity, but by extraterrestrial beings who build up society in a designated age and then destroys and rebuild from scratch.
To what purpose?
Perhaps we come close to exposing them and they fear the tipping point where too many of us become aware of their actions, so they clean house every time to stay hidden.
Each time a new mythology is created for us to follow, and so we blindly stumble along in good faith.
If their powerful enough to control things on that level they wouldn't have anything to fear from us.
Or all faiths are created from imagination. And thus can manifest in infinite amount of ways. But still can only be built within the current societal constructs. Those that hear the words of faith become them. Self fulfilling prophecy. Would our modern day (in the west) look the same if there had never been a bible? If there had never been any type of religion in egypt? Or greece? Or anywhere?
Not inevitable and it's still reversible, if Tom Brown, Jr.'s alleged grandfather is to be believed. He and other seers warned about a worldwide famine & plague, which has yet to occur. Although he may have anticipated the earth's waning o-zone layer, that's definitely happening.

Unfortunately, I think we’ve past the point of no return. A worldwide cleansing cataclysm seems inevitable. Technology really has killed our society.
Not extraterrestrial, the ancients believed they were confined to Earth's atmosphere and the Moon and are unable to visit other planets. Whereas the inhabitants of other worlds were revered as good.

That's exactly what Apollonios of Tyana said about "wizardry" and "black art", such forces have to give up their striving when people realize what the laws are and how to apply them.
