The following was originally published October 14, 2015. At that point in my rabbit-hole diving, I had just found out about the ET cover-up and was sorting out what that meant for both our relationship with ETs and their relationship to God. I had not yet uncovered what Dr. Steven Greer found - the deep state's hoax abductions, MILAB operations, and the deeper, darker holes to come. I was still filtering things through my orthodox Christian worldview. Never-the-less, I think this post is valuable in that it does address the cognitive changes that happen post-disclosure, and the associated feelings and confusions it brings.
From October 14, 2015:
I promised to discuss the emotions surrounding the typical responses a human has after becoming aware of super intelligent EBEs (extraterrestrial biological entities) and inter-dimensional entities. Here is my top-of-mind list, though of course you may be able to add others:
Deification - fear, awe, hope
Demonization - fear, threatened, anger, confusion, doom
Scientific inquiry - fear, excitement, fascination, frustration (at our limitation of knowledge and at political, scientific, and media officials’ dismissive policies)
Sibling Rivalry - fear, jealousy, awe & wonder, insecurity and doubt about who we are as humans and in turn, who the Creator really is (that YHWH was the maker of all these others too)
Again, these can be simultaneous or progressive.
Notice the common denominator of fear. It’s sort of what we do as humans - not just about aliens but any paranormal phenomenon. The Bible records countless times where angelic messengers, YHWH, and Christ said to humans, “Do not fear.” Because, of course, the audience was scared ****less.
I remember how it felt, the first time I accepted that Grays (in particular) were not just birthed in Hollywood but actual biological beings. It was when a top military official was being interviewed about the Roswell UFO crash off-handedly remarked that, “there were bodies recovered…” (Examples of testimony) After an urgent google search for supporting evidence for this and finding it, I accepted him at his word. I flipped rapidly through shock, anger (at being deceived by media to relegate aliens to make-believe), intense curiosity, fear of these beings, excitement about getting in on a huge “secret,” and began to question God’s relationship to “ALL” of creation.
I also go through the stages common to the newly initiated into alien phenomenon. These are:
absent-mindedness
mistrust of new information
paranoia
bewilderment
One that I’m still in often is absent-mindedness. I’ll be looking at my spouse or child speaking to me, their lips moving but the words not reaching my brain because it’s running down on a thought trail of questions from the latest episode of “Ancient Aliens” I viewed the night before, or recalling some connection to Scripture that a website passage discussing alien messages had, or a passage from Whitley Strieber’s book. My kid will be telling me how he played tag at recess and I will be wondering if the inter-dimensional beings Strieber encountered could actually be the spirits of dead EBEs…
Another general reaction is mistrust of everything and anything anyone claims. You think: I didn’t know aliens were real, so what else don’t I know? What else is the government/military/media/the schools/my church/the Masons/my hairdresser hiding? If they do tell me something, why should I believe it? You end up not wanting to believe anybody anymore or trust anything they say as truth. This stance has a healthy side - being guarded when plunging into UFO topics is a very wise move. However, this inadvertently can stunt the discovery of actual facts and realities when there are real reasons to trust the source. This can go two ways: after their worldview disillusionment, some will abandon the Truth about Jesus, where others will abandon the truth about EBE presence, both for the same reason - that they’ve shut off the willingness to trust any source.
Paranoia can set in: I’m being watched by aliens, aliens are everywhere, my kids are going to get abducted (I know a mom who confided in me that since she read up on abductions, she checks her kids for implants when they wake up!), the government/military will shut me up if it knows what I know, gasp was that a UFO?!?!
Finally, Hopelessness seems the rational conclusion after realizing just how powerless we are in the face of Super-Intelligent Technologically Advanced Beings (SITABs - aka aliens). Some say, as a chimpanzee is to the human lab scientist, we are to them. Someone even went so far as to say we are to them as ants are to a human passing by. Let’s be clear, though. These perspectives are often from the “Anything but God” camp. Those of us in the “God is Real” camp have much to be hopeful for!!!! If we hope in anything or anyone other than Christ, then I agree, it’s hopeless. But we truly are no longer slaves to fear; we are children of God!
I leave you with the meditation of the day.
No Longer Slaves to Fear
I really love this, especially as it relates to our Freedom in Jesus
Absolutely! "Perfect love casts out fear". May we lean into His love!
