Addressing the subject of extra-terrestrial life is very delicate, and skeptics will argue that, having never been in outer space, or seen (physically) extra-terrestrials, I have therefore no authority to speak on the subject. However, most of us have never seen a proton, which forms the nucleus of the hydrogen atom, and yet, we believe it exists, because our scientists said so. If it is true that most of humanity, have never seen an intergalactic ship, or what is called a mother-ship, it is equally true that millions of people, in America and abroad, have seen, in our skies, the scouts of these mother-ships, commonly called flying saucers. If we believe that the mother Mary appeared to the children of Fatima, because a group of very 'sane' people have seen the signs in the sky, why should we shy away from a manifestation, which, to all intents and purposes, is part of earth's evolutionary process, and will become an accepted fact, as the earth shifts into the transformational changes that will affect all the galaxies of the Universe seen and unseen. So open your mind and your heart, and you will finally realize that, indeed,

Limit not your thoughts to one world, for there are millions that follow their true orbital paths. And within the worlds of another galaxy, there, life exists. For you are only the expression of life on one planet, but each galaxy has its own planets. And this is the galactic system, where, if you but look into the heavens, you will realize and appreciate their great beauty, and understand, that, between each planet, or star, there is a fuller magnitude, than what your brain can truly comprehend ....This world is being protected from the other galaxies, for there is life beyond life. There are, within the vibrations, these ships that you speak about. There is, beyond them, an even higher intellect of a human character, not human in the structure of the body, but rather human in spirit, which floats in an etheric body, and is of high intelligence, not intelligence as you know it (of intellect), but in a spiritual knowing, or a spiritual expansion, whereby they can communicate with earth, and will do so at a future moment....
Excerpts from THE GOD WITHIN, by Elwood Babbitt and Chs H. Hapgood

When Christopher Columbus sailed from Palos, Andalusia, in search of new lands to discover beyond the sea, he faced up to criticism, and there was a general outcry, against the audacious fool who tempted fate, by trying to cross the Atlantic Ocean, when everyone knew that the earth was flat.

Contrary to 16th century beliefs that celestial bodies turn around the earth, Copernicus challenged the religious and scientific community, by putting forward the theory, according to which planet earth rotates on its axis in 24 hours, and around the sun in one year. The Italian physicist, Galileo, also shared and promoted his views. In Random House Encyclopedia, we find: "Galileo... announced his support for the Copernican view of the universe, with the earth moving around the sun. This was declared a heresy by Pope Pius V. In 'Dialogo Sopra i Due Massimi Sistemi del Mondo' (1632), he defied the pope by making his views even more explicit. As a result, he was brought before the Inquisition at the age of 70. While publicly recanting, he is said to have muttered 'e pur si muove' (even so, the earth does move). For his remaining years, he was silenced by the church."

A few years ago, people of vision, put forward the idea that it was possible to fly, and the usual throng of skeptics, ridiculed them, and found pleasure, whenever one of these strange contraptions hit the ground after a few minutes in the air. Now, thanks to these courageous men, we can fly around the world, at twice the speed of sound, and the space shuttle Columbia has already entered the legend.

Since its first apparition on the earth plane, the human race has always been fascinated by this mysterious satellite of the earth, that has inspired bards and poets of all civilizations, but nobody, with the exception of a few clairvoyant pioneers, ever thought man would one day set foot on the moon. Yet, we have conquered it, and our space probes are now trying to unveil the secrets of Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and other planets and moons of our galactic system. Full of mystery and challenge, space opens wide before us, and immensity is at the measure of our open-mindedness.

Today, we are faced with a much greater challenge. For eons of time, inhabitants of earth have held the belief they were the only intelligent beings in the Universe. Now, either we are a very stubborn species, or we are really afraid, to face up to a reality, that has become more than obvious in the present century, when hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of down-to-earth and trust-worthy people, claim to have seen in our skies, what is commonly called UFOs, or unidentified flying objects.

Earth is a very small planet of this galactic system of our universe, which is part of the many Universes in the greater Universe of God. Is it small enough? To believe that the Supreme Energy created the Universe for the sole pleasure and enjoyment of earth people is preposterous. It shows that mankind may have conquered a very small portion of space, but it has failed to conquer its fear of the unknown, and still clings to the erroneous beliefs and ideas, that have been handed down to us in the course of centuries.

One day, an American searcher by the name of George Adamski, observed a fleet of flying saucers in the sky, and, from then on, he decided to devote his life to the study of UFOs. Later on, he was visited by extraterrestrials, and these brought him aboard their flying saucer. His encounters with Venusians, Martians and Jupiterians have been greatly publicized in the 40s and the 50s, and trustworthy people, scientists and others, witnessed one of his encounters with extraterrestrials. He was welcomed aboard a huge mother ship, by beings of great nobility of soul, and disarming simplicity. According to the information received, the extraterrestrials he encountered, already live the Golden Age of humanity. On their planets, there is no war, no conflicts, and no internal quarrels. Children have a special place in society, and old people participate in the political and economic life of their communities.

Willing to impart their knowledge, but wanting first to raise the vibrations of mankind, they have withheld their own scientific and technological discoveries. However, eager to share their own feelings and ideals of life, they have conveyed teachings that totally transformed Adamski's life. He saw, in these space people, beings of great spiritual beauty, an evolved species, whose only goal was to share their knowledge with others, and help humanity. This, of course is not true of all extraterrestrials, and it may be that some of them are more scientifically than spiritually minded ( and we know what our own scientists do with animals), but most of those who are now in the vicinity of our planet, do come for the specific purpose of helping us in the times ahead of us. Now, whether these are from another space and time continuum, or not, the fact remains, that their presence is real. It is not because we are limited our own concept of time and space, that we must deny the existence of other dimensional levels of existence. In our modern times, and especially in the second half of this century, there have been so many reports of close encounters of the third kind, that we can no longer hide behind our preconceived ideas, to deny the existence of extraterrestrial life, and the interest aliens seem to manifest, towards our little planet earth. Adamski was a pioneer in the study of extraterrestrial life. His findings, and the numerous lectures he made throughout the world, paved the way to all those who now study the extraterrestrial phenomenon.

As mentioned earlier in this book, we are now at the dawn of a new era in the history of mankind, not only mankind of earth, but mankind of the whole Universe. Along with biblical prophecies, the seers of modern times have foreseen great changes for the end of this century, and new scientific findings tend to indicate there will be a realignment of the earth's position. If this assumption is correct, the earth will tilt on its axis, thus causing great losses of lives, and great changes in the weather patterns, as well as disturbances of cataclysmic nature throughout the world. The changes will affect this galaxy, and the repercussions will be felt in all the galaxies and universes of the greater Universe. Likely to begin as early as sometimes during the middle nineties, these upheavals are of such magnitude, and will have such long-lasting effects on other worlds, that extraterrestrials, from various planets and galaxies, intend to watch very closely, as these disturbances will also affect their worlds.

It is true that, in this Universe of God, there are planets more spiritualized, and with much greater technological development than we have. It is also true that, following the example of planet earth, some extraterrestrials have developed their skills, and made astonishing strides in science and technology, and this, at the expense of their spiritual development. The people of these planets, are also concerned with the near disturbances of earth. However, their concern has much more to do with the geological and atmospheric conditions of our planet, and their repercussions on the galactic system, than with the fate of its people. However, others are truly spiritualized, and they come to help our planet, and its inhabitants, before, during, and after the shift of the earth.

While we are just beginning to understand the functioning of the brain, many of these extraterrestrials, pilot their intergalactic ships with their mind power. Our own jets and space shuttles, force their way through space with huge combustion chambers that pollute the earth's atmosphere, when space people use the gravitational and electromagnetic fields, to travel space in a matter of minutes.

The schools of life are not limited to earth alone. All inhabitable planets of the cosmos, evolve in their own understanding, and are as much on the evolutionary path as we are. Just as there are people of many races and colors on the earth plane, there are, within our universe, various forms of humanoids, whose body differ from our own, so that it can blend with the atmospheric conditions of their specific planet. They are, as each of us, on their own path and their own understanding, and, they too, are on their way back to the God-Head. Some of them have sunk below the level of earth people, while others have reached such a high state of spiritual development, that they now live on etheric planes of great beauty, in their own Garden of Eden, where war and disease have been eradicated. These people live according to the law of One, in peace and harmony with one another, and with the neighboring planets of their galaxy. Having conquered space, they travel throughout the galaxies, and our earth is of much concern to them, as their sophisticated equipment has been able to detect the various changes that are taking place on the planet at the present time.

Many of the ships circling the earth and surveying its activities, are from material planets, removed many light years from our own, but distance to them is of no concern. They can move in a matter of seconds, covering distances that would baffle the mind of earth people. Our own conception of space travel still bear the stamp of earth's technology, and the form of our space ships could not withstand the velocity needed to travel great distances in a matter of seconds. These alien ships are equipped with a protective shield, and their gravitational force is such, that any object coming in contact with that shield will be instantly sucked in and disintegrated. There have been a few instances where jet fighters came too near a space ship, and they were disintegrated in a matter of seconds. The explanation for this, is, that the form of our planes is such, that their wings become vulnerable when approaching the magnetic field of an alien ship. The protruding part is then sucked in by the force field, and, as just mentioned, the rest of the plane follows, and is disintegrated in a matter of seconds. These accidents are unintentional, and their rarity is proof that most of the alien ships circling the earth are here, not to conquer our planet, but to help us in times of need. They will do anything in their power to avoid confrontation, and they will leave the earth's atmosphere, rather than endanger the lives of its inhabitants. This is why there are fewer sightings of these little scouts in the sky, as aliens now prefer mental contacts, to hazardous ventures into our atmosphere.

All this is no more incredible, than the discovery of a new land far out in the ocean, when almost everyone thought that the world ended there, or the advent of air travel, when scientists claimed it was impossible to fly, or again, the discovery of electricity, the first telephone, television, and computers that can store an incredible amount of information on what is called a micro-chip.

The fact that one has never seen a flying saucer, is no proof it does not exist. Even in this century, science and religion still believed planet earth was created 6,000 years ago, when 6,000,000,000 years is not even close to the reality. And when we consider that the birth of planets follows a sequential order, and that each planet takes billions of years to cool off before it can sustain life, then we begin to understand that infinitude is a concept that is beyond man's understanding. Our latest telescope may bring us closer to the distant galaxies, but man will never understand infinitude, unless he recognizes that this infinitude is right there within the human form. Man is the greatest generator of energy of the cosmos, and until we recognize this fact, it will be very difficult to reach any part of the universe in a reasonable length of time. Voyager 2, launched in 1977, took 12 years to reach Neptune, one of our most distant neighboring planets. At that speed, a manned mission in space, is almost impossible, as it would take a lifetime to travel just a littler part of our own galaxy. We are still very far from Captain Kirk's Star Trek missions in the cosmos, and our machines of the earth will never bring man to the confines of this galaxy, unless he starts working in accord with nature. If he ever wants to reach the stars, man must learn to control the unlimited energy that surrounds him. Instead of fighting the elements, he must combine the natural force fields of the atmosphere, with his own thought power, to nullify space, and reach his destination in a matter of seconds, or hours.

We have been given dominion over all creation, and we are still crawling and toiling, when the power is ours for the taking. Gradually, the scales fall from our eyes, and we are beginning to have a glimpse of the immensity of our own universe, and the boundlessness of the greater Universe of God. Yet, we still cling to the old beliefs, and the further our world expands, the more we become self-centered and arrogant, and the more we believe in our superiority and uniqueness. How come it is so difficult to face a reality that has become so obvious? The fact that thousands of sane and intelligent people, claim to have seen UFOs, and that many others report physical contacts with extra-terrestrials, should, at least, lead us to think, that there may be something to it. As we often say, there is no smoke without a fire, and the least we could do, is keep an open mind on the subject.

In fact, we deny extraterrestrial existence, not so much because this unknown reality frightens us, but rather because it opens an enormous breach in a belief system, instilled into earth people, through the simplistic views of narrow-minded scientists (the same who thought the earth was flat), and the orthodoxy of a religiosity much more inclined to hide itself behind self-imposed beliefs, than open up to the grandeur and the infinity of our cosmic Universe.

There are many mansions in the Universe of God, and while we read it from the Bible, we refuse to believe that these mansions are inhabited. The inhabitants of these distant galaxies are much more evolved than we are, and their ways of life are totally alien to our own. The warring instinct of earth people, and their intolerance and lack of concern for others, are enough to scare away extraterrestrials, and it may be the reason, these are not too eager to establish contact with governments and officials, at least until the time they are needed in the changes ahead of us.

In a sense, we are the cavemen of the galactic system, and while we consider ourselves as civilized, extraterrestrials are astonished to discover, that a planet ,such as ours, can exist in the Universe of God: a planet where selfishness is the key word, and where wars, murders, rape and suicide, are part of the everyday scene; a planet where millions of Sons and Daughters of God are starving, while others destroy the crops in order to stabilize prices; a planet where people have forgotten the meaning of love and brotherhood.

The fact is, we have become a rare species, stubborn and intolerant. Our egotism has lead us to think in terms of colonialism, nationalism and patriotism and all the 'isms' that raise barriers and bring trouble and wars throughout the world. We have confined ourselves within the limitations of fear and egotism, rather than open ourselves to the universality of all life. The concepts of nationalism and patriotism, while a seemingly excellent means to identify ourselves with our own environment, are nevertheless false concepts, as they go against the principle of universal brotherhood, and the purpose of our mission in the world. We are so intent on erecting our own fortified castle of egotism, that we take fright, at any change that might threaten our relative security. And yet, we are all expressions and part of the same Energy, just as the cells are part of the body. How can we accept extraterrestrials in our midst, when we barely tolerate the presence of immigrants on our own soil.

There exists an interrelationship between the inner and outer world. 'Know thyself' said the philosopher, and this inner search is the key to the unlocking of our God-given powers and attributes. Man must discover by himself that, as an expression of God on the earth plane, he has full control over creation, and, as they say in a commercial: 'Mother Nature is on our side!' Thus, instead of fighting the elements, and triggering chain reactions, that can only harm nature, we could use the sun to power our cars, trucks and machinery, and the electromagnetic and electrostatic forces of the planets, to travel space, and cover distances with much less effort and pollution.

If we have been able to make great strides in science and technology in the past decades, it may be, partly, due to these extraterrestrials, who, for quite a while now, have allowed some of their own, to sojourn on the earth plane for various periods of time. They mix with us and, even though they do not interfere with the life of earth people, they are active in many sectors of the economy, and they are of great help to scientific and technological research. When their mission is completed, they return to their planet, and this is why many people disappear without trace.

In spite of new technologies and the discovery of laser, our medical progress could appear outdated to the inhabitants of many planets who have triumphed over diseases, and have discovered that mind is the builder; that if thought can bring disease to the body, it can also revitalize that body and bring it back to health.

We are like the inhabitants of a primitive village who, even though electricity exists all around them, still use candlelight because they never dared venture out of their own environment. We have all we need to maintain the vital forces of the body, but, through ignorance of spiritual laws and a materialistic approach to life, we are unaware of these forces. We are impregnated with, but unable to tap into, the Divine Energy that is our birthright. There is no miracle, only the miracle of the mind, and the power to express the God within the body. Once this truth recognized, it will be possible to revitalize the cells of our body, and that of others, and bring them back to health.

We limit our perceptions to the five physical senses, but our powers of perceptions are unlimited. For example, extra-sensory-perception is no more extraordinary, than the invention of telegraph, or telephone. The Energy that makes it possible to transmit thoughts from brain to brain, is the same energy that we use to pick up sounds, with or without wires, and relay them to a receiver, thousands of miles away. Thought communication is the first means of communication ever used, but that natural faculty was lost in the mists of time, as we sank deeper and deeper into the gross material, and lost sight of our Divine Origin. Thus, to compensate for this loss, language was invented, and, consequence of humanity's egocentricity and its fears and misconceptions of life, it soon became the multiplicity of languages symbolized, in the Bible, by the Tower of Babel. Man did not lose his extra-sensory-perception, he simply lost his ability to tap into this God-given faculty.

When religions teach us that Adam and Eve were thrown out of the Garden of Eden, they are only transforming a crucial stage in the history of mankind, into a fairy tale for children. Adam and Eve (humanity) never left their Garden of Eden. They simply atrophied their spiritual senses of perception, lowering their vibrations to the point, where they created for themselves a material world that befitted their own degeneration. As repeated so often, the outer world is a replica of the inner word. Once we raise this inner world to the level of Christ Consciousness, the outer world will become, again, the Garden of Eden it was at the beginning of creativity.

We live in a multidimensional universe, of which we know very little. Our own concept of time and space is one of the limitations of physical reality, as it prevents us, from perceiving the cosmic reality of other dimensions of life. All worlds and all dimensions are accessible to us, if we but rid ourselves of the limitations, imposed upon us by thousands of years of spiritual darkness.

We refute the existence of extraterrestrial life, because we have relinquished our role of pathfinders, preferring to keep to the beaten track, rather than open ourselves to the boundlessness of God's Kingdom. Everyday, we discover new species on the earth itself. We venture into the microcosmic universe, and discover new forms of life, but we refuse to believe that the macrocosmic universe can also sustain life forms, as we have on the earth plane. Whether we believe it, or not, extraterrestrial life is a fact, and we should keep an open mind, and get used to the idea that we are not alone in the universe. We have trillions upon trillions of our brothers and sisters, disseminated in the cosmos, all of them ready to welcome us in their midst, whenever we are ready.

This vast universe of ours, is only one aspect of God's Universe and its dimensional levels, all of them occupying the same space, yet all intermingled, and perfectly aligned one with the other. If this concept is hard to understand, just think that, in the physical world, the air, the sounds, the colors, the heat, and the light, all occupy the same space, and yet, all of them harmoniously blend one with the other. There is intense, and constant, interaction, between all vibratory levels, and, although not consciously, we are definitely aware, during sleep, or deep meditation, of a reality greater than the one we perceive through the five physical senses. We are all one great unit, and extraterrestrials, as well as those of the astral worlds ,and other dimensions of life, are eager to communicate with us and help us in times of need. There is a new consciousness envading the world at the present time, and it is the reason for the many encounters of the third kind, mental contacts with extraterrestrials, and spirit communications of the last decades.

Originally limited to a few individuals, spirit communication has gained in popularity since the middle of the twentieth century, and with a little practice, many of us can communicate with 'the other side'. Nowadays, hundreds of sensitive people can relay conversations to and from the astral world. Not too far in the future, it will be possible to receive communications on a TV set, and converse directly with our departed loved ones. It is only a matter of having the right equipment, and tuning into the right wavelength. The book, 'Life and Teachings of the Masters of the Far East' mentions that there exists, in the USA, a group of dedicated scientists, who, encouraged by the teachings of these earthly Masters, and those of evolved beings, such as Jesus, have invented a camera so sophisticated, that it can photograph events that have happened hundreds and thousands of years ago. They have photographed George Washington's inaugural address in 1789, and it is, actually, possible, to see George Washington, and hear his voice, as he walks, back and forth, before the group. They have taken pictures of Jesus' Sermon on the Mount, and the multiplication of the bread and fishes, as it happened two thousand years ago. It shows the little boy with the bread and the fish, and, if it was not so, these scientists confirm, it would not have shown in the picture.

The so-called mysteries of life, unveil themselves, one after the other. Gradually, we open our eyes to greater realities, and we find that what we call 'the mysteries of life' is only the ignorance of the law. Nothing is impossible, and the more we grow in understanding, the more we have access to all the good things in God's Kingdom. We receive according to our faith, not blind faith, but a knowing of our divine potential as Sons and Daughters of God. It is wonderful to realize that a camera can take pictures of the past, but it is even more marvelous to know, that our own mind can project these pictures, with even more accuracy and clarity. The power of the mind is such, that the most sophisticated of our technological accomplishments, is nothing compared to what one single thought can do, when directed towards another in a spirit of love and compassion. It can move mountains. It can transport us to and from any location. It can feed us. It can even heal the body, more accurately and permanently, than any doctor, or medication. We are the gods of this cosmic universe. We think of the Garden of Eden as a lost country, located somewhere on the earth plane, when, in reality, the Garden of Eden is the whole Universe of God. This Paradise is veiled to our eyes, because we cling to the unreality of this tridimensional world, and we wrap ourselves in the false cocoons of religions, and their exterior manifestations of piety and worship, rather than flow into the oneness of God's creation.

Extraterrestrial civilizations have followed the same evolutionary path, and many of them have found the Garden of Eden of their origin, a Garden where disease is non-existent, and where people live in peace and harmony. While we content ourselves with speaking about God, religion or faith, and while we pray that God, to take sides in our continuous wars, many of these extraterrestrial civilizations, already live according to the law of ONE. As mentioned before, they have attained a high level of development, that allows them to live in peace and harmony among themselves, and with other planets of the galactic system. Is it so strange that some of them are eager to communicate with us and establish contact, so that they can be of help when the time comes?

When Christopher Columbus first set foot on the American soil, he discovered a new land, and encountered a human species (the Indians) unknown in his time, thus wiping out a myth that had lasted for centuries. Extraterrestrials are Columbus' Indians, and, once we recognize the fact that we are not alone in the universe, it will be much easier to accept their presence, when the time comes.

Through our narrow-mindedness and fear of the unknown, we picture extra- terrestrials as monsters, when the monster is right here on earth, in the human mind. The next step on our evolutionary path, is to recognize the existence of these brothers and sisters of the cosmos. This, eventually, will allow us to take our rightful place in the Federation of planets that govern the galaxies of our universe. It is not a Star Trek episode, it is a cold, hard fact. Subtly. but surely, the way is being paved, and while there is no official consensus about it, hundreds of millions of sane and intelligent people, believe in extraterrestrial life. There will be much to gain in accepting the aliens in our midst, and even though some of them may have selfish purposes in trying to contact us, many will be here to convey the teachings of their evolved planets, and help us in the coming changes.

In the course of centuries, science and religion were forced to make amends, and they recognized their errors. The rehabilitation of Galileo by the Vatican, in 1979, clearly shows that religions are not the sole standard-bearers of truth. They are the mirror of the societies they represent, and, therefore, they carry within their doctrines, the bias and the misconceptions of these societies. One has but to look at the hundreds of religions, and their doctrinal differences, to realize that, even though there is something of the fundamental teachings in each of these doctrines, none of them has the monopoly on truth. Faith, as presented by these various doctrines, is a sport that human beings play eagerly, but, at the same time, it prevents humanity from opening to new concepts. It is not religion, in itself, which is at fault, for each of them is there for its own purpose, and, all together, they represent the diversity of man's experiences on the earth plane. It is the orthodoxy that encases man's beliefs, in rigid, and made-to-measure, concepts and principles, from which the believer cannot turn away by fear of God's wrath, or church's retaliation. This insistence on proclaiming themselves the sole standard-bearer of truth, is the Achilles' heel of religions, and it will eventually be their downfall. Experience shows, that, most of the time, it is men of vision, and not science or religion, that are proved right. After so many stumbles, we should have learned our lesson. We should keep an open mind and ask ourselves why, in such a vast and marvelous universe, there wouldn't be place for civilizations more evolved, and less barbarous than our own.

We are in such inharmony with nature, that most of our scientific experiences and achievements, affect, in the short, or long term, the ecological and biological balance of the planet. The underground, and above ground, explosions we trigger off, supposedly to advance science, disrupt the internal structure of the earth, and pollute the atmosphere. We have estranged ourselves from the animal kingdom to the point, where we consider the animal (even our pets) as things of no real value, toys that we return to the store, or throw away, when it becomes cumbersome. The torture we inflict on animals, in the name of science, is the shame of humanity. It denotes a total misunderstanding of the interrelationship, that exists between all forms of life. If man is the keeper of his brothers and sisters, he is also the keeper of all these small animals God has placed on his road. Mutilating and destroying animals to save human lives is a sign of our selfishness and egotism, and no one who has seen a picture of these atrocities, can remain unconcerned. We call ourselves civilized, but we haven't made much progress, and we still have much to learn. These animals that are sacrificed in our laboratories, for the so-called purpose of advancing science, do have a spirit and soul. They too, are on their own evolutionary path, and they reincarnate for their own reasons and purposes, one of w hich, is to teach human beings the laws of Love and Compassion.

But there again, it is all part of the learning process, and there is no need to throw the stone at those who do these experiments. If we do, we are no more charitable than those who militate in pro-life movements. The best approach will always be to preach by example, and those who mutilate animals, will have to learn, one way or another, the respect of animal life, for the law of cause and effect is immutable, and it encompasses all creation.

Furthermore, it has been proved, that most of these experiences and tests are unconclusive. They can mislead the searcher, and may even represent a danger. On the basis of its success with animals, the end product is, eventually, tested on humans beings, even though it has been proved, times and again, that a drug can have positive results on animals and negative ones on humans. Many drugs, manufactured as a result of these tests on animals, have had, in the short and long term, negative effects whose repercussions still echo in our courts of justice. No one has the right to endanger, or take the life of animals for the so-called excuse of saving human lives, when it is a known fact that many of these experiences are undertaken to test the reaction of animal bodies to beauty products, suntan oils and other excentricities of a materialistic humanity. Such methods should be prohibited. They are barbaric customs of the past, and remnants of our erroneous principles, these same principles that assert that animals do not have a spirit and soul, just as they asserted, not too long ago, that women had no soul.

In this second half of the twentieth century, there have been many reports to the effect that some people have been abducted aboard space ships, and many of these abductions have been reported in magazines and books all over the country. According to these reports, most of the contactees have no conscious remembrances of these abductions. However, under hypnosis, they related a strange story of being transported aboard a space ship. There, they encountered strange beings of various shapes and sizes, some with slant eyes and enlarged foreheads and others that bear a strong resemblance with earth people. They found themselves in a kind of laboratory, where they went through many hours of testing, performed by these extraterrestrials. Such behavior and lack of ethics may seem uncivilized, but, if we take a closer look at ourselves, we are not better off with our own laboratory testings, where thousands of animals are sacrificed in the name of science, not to mention the many tests that are done, with or without their knowledge, on hospital patients, residents of old people's homes, and some willing guinea-pigs attracted by the prospect of money.

Although many of these contactees have reported physiological changes and discomfort that disappeared after a certain time, they were treated with kindness by most of these extraterrestrials. This does not excuse them for abducting human beings in such an offhand manner, but think of the treatment human beings must go through in the prisons and concentration camps of our civilized countries of the world. Many of these abductees have been transformed, physically and spiritually. They have become more open-minded, more serene, and it has radically changed their own outlook on life. Although some cannot resist the limelight, most of them remain simple people, and they try to convey the message of love and peace they, apparently, received from these extraterrestrials.

However, this does not mean that everything seemingly originating from space must be taken at face value, and one should be able to discriminate between open-mindedness and credulity. If someone tells you he has been assigned by the Federation of Planets to be the leader of a country, or of the world, you will certainly think twice, before giving credence to such a presumptuous assertion.

Cults are phenomena of mass hypnosis, where a group of gullible and impressionable people, gather around a leader who, either brings a message of deep personal significance to the members, or is able, through a thorough system of brainwashing, to exercise a control over them. For instance, a cult has formed around a contactee who claims he has been asked to build an embassy somewhere in the Middle-East, in order to welcome interplanetary visitors, who call themselves 'creators'. According to this contactee, these extraterrestrials are the 'sowers' of the gospels who planted the seed of human life on earth. Thus, using the New Testament as a springboard to further their own interests, they invent a story of creation, that links the origin of life on earth to their own planet, and we are, in a way, the result of their experiments. The 'tree of life' is associated with scientific books, and the 'serpent and apple' of Genesis, represent scientific knowledge, which, according to these extraterrestrials, was forbidden to earth people. And, to crown it all, the Fall of mankind is a kind of house arrest of earth people, by the military of this extraterrestrial world, who thus forbade them all, access to scientific knowledge. Even Jesus becomes a puppet in their hands. He is a kind of experiment, and all his miracles are a demonstration of space technology: he walks on water with the help of an anti-gravitational ray, the multiplication of the 'bread and fishes' is only a fast growing synthetic food, and the Sermon on the Mount is accompanied with a beam of light coming from their ship.

It is not the intention of this book to dwell upon this specific cult, or the many other cults that have sprung like mushrooms all over America, Europe and other parts of the world. Suffice it to say that, these people too, are on their own spiritual pathway, and although it is not of the enlightenment, it is, nevertheless, a valid life experience. It was included here, to show that many inhabitable planets are still on the road to perfection, and far from their ultimate goal. Although some of them are of different forms, most of these extraterrestrials have human form. They are on their own evolutionary path, and, as such, they are subject to errors as we all are. One must beware of teachings that tend to assert the supremacy of any other species over earth people, for, even though we are, in a sense, the creation of superior minds, we have been given free will, and our planet is a free and independant entity within the galactic system. One thing is sure, such extraterrestrials are not much more evolved than we are, and their teachings bear the stamp of their own biases and their own misconceptions of life. True spiritually-minded extraterrestrials do not interfere in the life of other planetary systems and planets, at least not to the point of requesting the building of an embassy to receive them. This is why the earth is watched closely by the more evolved planets, who will prevent any interference in its affairs.

Some contactees find it difficult to discriminate between tridimensional, etheric and astral worlds, and they receive messages purporting to be from Jesus, the Virgin Mary, archangels and other evolved beings, messages that do not always correspond to the image we have of these entities. The reason is, that low dimensional levels of the astral world, are full of mischievous or egotistic spirits, who force their way into the medium's mind, and try to convey their own distorted thoughts and ideas to earth people. Furthermore, one must not forget that all these messages are filtered through the conscious mind of the channelers, and in spite of their obvious good-will, there will always be biases and misconceptions in these messages. It is a question of discrimination and good judgment. It is the message that counts, and not the messenger. "A good tree cannot bear bad fruits, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruits. (Matt. 7:18), and each must try to recognize, among all these messengers who channel extraterrestrial, astral, and other dimensional beings, those that convey true spiritual messages, and those that take advantage of people's credulity, to get rich, or to act important. Truth is within, and all these messages and teachings, are only given, to help us discover our true identity: we are divine beings and co-creators with the God who created all these systems, planets,and other life forms, including, of course, these extraterrestrials that we fear so much.

Extraterrestrial civilizations who have at heart the well-being of other people, will never interfere in the affairs of other planets. So, be suspicious of messages like the one requesting the building of an embassy. It is true that there will definitely be help on the way, but this near and ultimate experience is that of earth people, and it is a lesson for all humanity. We must prepare for these coming changes, and not leave to others the care of our destiny. Jesus himself, with all his powers of Christ of God, could not save humanity. Man is his own savior, and this freedom of expression, that binds him to materiality is the same freedom that will help him find, alone, the way out of his predicaments, and the road to Life Everlasting.

As you can see, there is more to life than we, earth people, can conceive, and the interrelationship between man and his Creator, goes far beyond the concept of a personal God. In fact, there is no interrelationship with God, unless there is, first, an interrelationship with all His creatures, and this includes, of course, extraterrestrials, astral entities, and all evolved beings from higher dimensions of life.

We are on the earth plane to widen the field of our experiences. Billions of years ago, we began our long journey into the many worlds of the universe, and, in the process of perfecting a body to an etheric state, we have had many lives and many experiences. And all these have been for the purpose of getting closer to, or merging with, that Universal Energy we call God. And the only way to do that merging with God, is to merge, first, with all His creation, as God is All and All is God.

Far from being a threat to us, the existence of extraterrestrial life opens new horizons for mankind. It broadens our view of the universe, and makes us realize that the field of our experiences is unlimited, and as vast as we allow it to be. As our perceptions widen, so does our awareness expand to embrace a wider spectrum of God's creation. Old concepts are set aside, only to be replaced by new ones, and it goes, on and on, indefinitely.

The concept of time and space is a reality of the physical worlds, but it is nonexistent in the etheric worlds and higher dimensions of life. However, this does not mean that humanity is, irrevocably, confined to this limited condition till the end of its earthly life. Each of us is a god within himself, and we perceive the world and the cosmos according to the awareness we have of the spiritual laws that govern all activities of life.

All these laws are within the self, ready to be activated, if we but lift the veil of our limitations and misconceptions of life.

The computer of the mind has all the data necessary to run any program the thought can conceive, because that computer is the God Energy, ever present in each and everyone of us. The keyboard of this computer is the conscious brain, and one of the challenges of earthly life is to learn how to use that keyboard. If one uses the finder without knowing the unlimited potential of the multifinder (providing there is ample memory) he will only be able to open one application at a time. It is the same with the human computer. We can use the conscious mind (the finder) all our life, without knowing that we have also access to a superconscious mind (the multifinder.) Once we open and master it, we have access to the unlimited potential of the God within, and we become, again, the gods of creation. We, earth people, have the same potential and the same rights as those we call extraterrestrials. If we have remained a primitive species, we can put the blame, not on God, but on our stubbornness, selfishness and lack of love and compassion, towards our brothers and sisters of the world. This is the reason extraterrestrials are reluctant to manifest themselves openly, as their approach is one of love and compassion, and these are concepts that we have, as yet, to integrate in our own life. We are the aliens of the cosmos, and if we ever want to be part of a greater reality, we must make the first steps, and open ourselves to a new vision of the universe.

Extraterrestrial life is the greatest challenge of the twenty-first century. Let us hope that those who scorned Copernicus, and laughed at Christopher Columbus, will have learned their lesson, and, this time around, will open their minds and their hearts to the innumerable wonders of God's Kingdom.

There is no need to bury our head in the sand. We are not alone in the universe. We have never been. Extraterrestrial phenomenon is real, and no one can ignore the importance and the impact the presence of space people will have on our spiritual evolution and advancement. We are all ONE.
