The Alien Question.

We experience what we believe.
We believe what we experience.
We believe what we believe.
What we believe, we become…
…and the mind can be Photoshopped!

 We are all aliens: embodied sentient beings. If we recognise that we are not this body or mind, then it’s possible to understand re-incarnation (I recognise that many do not believe this, but that discussion is for another day). We re-incarnate because our misguided mind identifies with a self concept, which we maintain moment to moment. This habitual self-programming drives us to choose an incarnation that ornaments our beliefs. Until we do realise our true nature, we are all aliens wandering the universe, looking for the truth. That, in itself, is a foolish thing we do!

 We hear many accounts of meetings with aliens: whether you believe them or not is up to you.

 What we are talking about here is ‘beings’ arriving in space ships, or living underground in tunnels, who are said to contact humans. Merely saying, “I have met aliens,” does not make it true. I may meet you in the street, but that is an illusion of me meeting an illusion of you…it is an experience taking place in the mind. All experiences take place in the mind: that is where everything is perceived – and that perception can be altered…Photoshopped…by beliefs.

 If you believe you see aliens – you will see aliens.
If you believe you see ordinary people – you will see ordinary people.
If you believe you see Buddhas – you will see Buddhas.

 Remember: it all depends on what we call ‘true’ or ‘real’!

 The descriptions of these meetings with aliens are somewhat strange in that…they are not strange! They are mundane, and totally irrelevant to higher understanding. Again, remember that all experiences take place in the mind – that is so important here.

 Yes, it possible that ‘aliens’ are here, but until it happens to us, we will never know. The claims that these beings have a higher intelligence begs a question about the type of person contacted. As we have been mistaken sentient beings wandering the universe for eons, it is said that every sentient being has been our mother. So we too have been these aliens at some time.

 When people talk about aliens with higher intelligence, are they offering wisdom or something else?

 Even if there are aliens, they are sentient like us. That’s all. Even if they come from ‘another’ dimension, it is still a dimension. That’s all. Essence is beyond any dimension or place.

 Humans have been touched by enlightened masters for thousands of years: enlightenment is our potential. When “contactees” tell of their experiences, the aliens seem to be only interested in “toys”. It does bring into question their so-called higher intelligence!

 Getting caught up in alien fantasies is only another projection in our minds, as are all ideas. It’s a sort of mind control, and it’s a bit fishy! All appearances are expressions of emptiness. Don’t aliens know this?!

 If believing in aliens benefits your life, all well and good. If it distracts and causes stress in the mind, drop it, and get on with recognising what reality is.

Life is short.
At death it is said we have an awareness
nines time that of being in a body.
In an instant
our mind can take us anywhere.

And there’s the problem.
No stability.
Off with the fairies,
or something worse.

Know that all appearances
are but projections of the mind
…phantoms…!

If aliens excite
you will merely join
the other wandering aliens
…or demons…!

 What we believe, we become.

 (We hear about secret ‘Black Operations’ where aliens work with humans using alien technology: this may or may not be true. However, the idea of this does have an effect on people’s minds. Remember – the mind can be controlled…Essence cannot. This is why spiritual practice is so important.

 If there are indeed aliens working in ‘Black Ops,’ then this is only concerned with controlling matter and minds – and not wisdom. From a spiritual perspective these are just toys! And again, if we are talking about controlling minds, there are those believers in the Occult to add to the mixture…even more toys!

 Either way none of this is reality. Believers are only playing with a seeming reality – relative truth. It’s like Photoshopping the mind: anything on a computer comprises of pixels…and pixels can be mucked around with – as can our perceptions in the mind!

 Absolute truth cannot be mucked around with. It can only be distracted. This is exactly what is going on. Know the difference between the real and the seemingly real. Be careful of becoming a toy!)

In meditation we gain nothing.
We merely lose
our fear, confusion, self
and beliefs.
