Generalizing anyone who believes in aliens as a "nutzoid", well done.
You're scared of the truth I guess. It's ok, it's a big thing,

I can communicate with some of us out there, can I prove this? maybe..maybe not for some, but can you prove I can't?

So if these people at the top of the "circuit" are a bunch of greedy fakers they might eventually be rooted out. Or something might come along to make sure that their attempts to bring ridicule to others that believe backfires in such a way that they'll probably remember it very clearly for the rest of their lives.
It's 2013, not the 1950's, and things could change very quickly and very soon.edit on 30-4-2013 by robhines because: typo

No, you are. You're scared at having to accept the reality that humans will have to act maturely, like adults, and solve their own problems. That there are no white-masked aliens about to swoop in to save the day. You're frightened about a world that is terrifying to you - that you don't understand, about which you're confused. You are desperately hoping there is some higher power guaranteeing your safety. You are terrified at the idea that all of this could be snuffed out in an instant tomorrow and no Pleiadians will rush to your rescue.
Time to grow up and face the reality of the human condition like an adult.

Sorry, but the most important thing to me isn't aliens, it's meditating. Something that if done properly makes you more aware of what's going on and also helps you deal with reality like an adult. In fact it's very good at doing that and it's been well known for thousands of years that this is the case. Science has a lot of respect for it too.

It's very likely that this won't always be the case.
Please think about it.

LMAO, I've done Vipassana meditation for more than 10 years. You can meditate and also be a sane, stable, rational, well-adjusted person who doesn't believe charlatans telling him about friendly aliens who want to offer a more efficient vacuum cleaner.
Meditating doesn't mean you have to be a kukoo lunatic out in woo-woo land.

Ok, many people who follow this are living with huge delusions, I get that, but you're still generalizing. Not all people that believe in aliens have a lack of a decent education or mindset.

With all due respect, is it safe to say you're frequently confused?
