the more I learn the more I realize that religions are just corporations ,and that disinclines me to worship or participate.

For me a real God could affect and empower it's followers,rather than being fed by and or parasitzing them ,

Since "God" is basically interchangeable with "I don't know," I suppose that if there are any aliens out there, there may be some things about reality and the universe they don't know about or are unable to comprehend, and they might call it by name.

Or not. Maybe they'll have a reasonably complete understanding of how reality works, so it never crosses their minds.

Yep!!
That last sentence sum's it up NoHup!
People seem to find it easier that when they pray and the outcome favors the prayer that GOD has enlightened them with the truth of the request, but I wonder if anyone that prays thinks about the positive outcome and the power of thier own mind, which with all due respect, has been left on the weigh sides of the trivial roads of question.

Another thing that crosses my mind about the Alien visitation thing is that "What if the Aliens see our worls as a possible blue-glowing fire ball with all the clouds shrouding our planet?"

HhhMMMmmm????

The latter..LOL My spell checker is on the fritz and I am winging it here you all..lol




I am trying to find a particular site that I was on to show that there have been cave drawing's far more back than the advent of religions, but for the mean time, I have a website that is dedicated to the earlier sightings and thier significance to the various come folk and Ideologies of thier particular time.

www.geocities.com...

Here are some more that go even farther back in time, I will try to find the other site I had mentioned and get it posted for you ASAP.

www.bibliotecapleyades.net... Astronauts


Ancient Cave Art Picture Of Extraterrestrial


www.fffast.com...

The above site lists a lot of the art I was talking abput, but I have yet to find what I am exactly looking for, "Darn Net!!!"

Here's an article about the "Dogon Tribe" of West Africa, There are very mysterious facts that follow these peoples beliefs, even as far as a planet that no man had seen before the advent of the proper scientific equiptment we have today..


The Dogon and the Sirius Mystery

"Several specialists now claim they have found the long-sought "final evidence" of visits made to earth by ancient astronauts. The myths of the Dogon tribesmen of Mall, West Africa, contain astronomical knowledge which the native people could have neither learned by themselves nor guessed. Obviously, the researchers say, some more advanced civilization told them. These fascinating Dogon legends speak of Jupiter's four moons and Saturn's rings, which were not seen by human beings until the invention of the telescope. They speak of the star Sirius and of a pair of invisible companions. One of them circles Sirius every fifty years, the legends declare, and is made of a metal that is the heaviest thing in the universe. Astronomers have discovered that such an object (called "Sirius-B") does exist but only the most sophisticated and sensitive instruments -- unavailable, of course, to the Dogons -- can detect it."

Oh Allred,the cave art has possible links to early use of hallucinogens

somewhere there is this awesome documentary about the motifs found in cave art and the artistic depictions,produced by modern day Shamen ,illustrating their various experiences in the spiritworld ,entry to which is triggered by ingesting hallucinogens


now before you get mad at me for disallowing 'spiritual' experience as just a product of drugs,the results of the research lead to a conclusion that real experiences of other realms of existence are possible this way


I personally have never used hallucinogens because from what I understand of their effects ,it would be counter intuitive to take a drug to produce a state that I am already in

Certain researchers investigating the Dogon have reported that they seem to possess advanced astronomical knowledge, the nature and source of which has subsequently become embroiled in controversy. From 1931 to 1956, two French anthropologists, Marcel Griaule and Germaine Dieterlen, spent 25 years with the Dogon, during which time they were initiated into the tribe. Griaule and Dieterlen reported that the Dogon appeared to know that the brightest star in the sky, Sirius, has a faint companion, Sirius B, which requires a fairly large telescope to be seen. They also claimed that the Dogon appeared to know of the rings of Saturn, and the moons of Jupiter.Neither Griaule nor Dieterlen ever presented any verifiable evidence for any of these claims.

The idea was made widespread when author Robert Temple wrote a book suggesting an extra-terrestrial source for the Dogon's knowledge.[9] No additional verifiable evidence was presented. Previously, Griaule and Dieterlen had made no claims on the source of the Dogon's knowledge.

More recently, doubts have been raised about the validity of Griaule and Dieterlein's work. The anthropologist Walter van Beek concluded after his research among the Dogon that,

"though they do speak about sigu tolo [which is what Griaule claimed the Dogon called Sirius] they disagree completely with each other as to which star is meant; for some it is an invisible star that should rise to announce the sigu [festival], for another it is Venus that, through a different position, appears as sigu tolo. All agree, however, that they learned about the star from Griaule"
Griaule's daughter, Genevieve Calame-Griaule, has retorted that criticisms of her father's findings are mostly rooted in speculation.

your right oinkment some anthropologists and researches are guilty of not understanding everything they know of Dogon cultural beliefs

I was referring to some studies done among South American Shaman

and some Siberian Shamanic studies ,and modern examples of art work of these people after a hallucinogenic experience ,that was for ceremonial tribal enlightenment

though, I do know there are certain tribes/groups or villages that do use hallucinogens, for the most part, the tribes/groups/villages are not "All" the known peoples of hallucinogenic sightings throughout the ages.
And I promise I don't get mad incisiblewoman, I just get frustrated with some of the he said she said that is out there, but with all consideration to your thoughts of your post, "I am totally aware."

As I understand you, I hope that you can understand me as well.
