The Demon-Haunted World_ Science as a Candle in the Dark - Carl Sagan [95]
• If I were a betting man, I would give you odds that your mailbox will overflow with stories such as I just related. I suspect that the psychic [psyche] brings forth these demons and angels, lights and circles as a part of our development. They are part of our nature.
• Science has become the ‘magic that works’. The UFOlogists are heretics to be excommunicated or burned at the stake.
• [Several readers wrote to say that aliens were demons sent by Satan, who is able to cloud our minds. One proposes that the insidious Satanic purpose is to make us worried about an alien invasion, so that when Jesus and his angels appear over Jerusalem we will be frightened rather than glad.] I do hope you will not dismiss me as another religious crackpot. I am quite normal and well-known in my own little community.
• You, sir, are in a position to do one of two things: know about the abductions and be covering them up, or feel that because you have not been abducted (perhaps they are not interested in you) they do not occur.
• A treason suit [was filed] against the President and Congress of the United States over a treaty made with aliens in the early ‘40s, who had later shown themselves to be hostile... The treaty agreed to protect the secrecy of the aliens in return for some of their technology [stealth aircraft and fibre optics, another correspondent reveals].
• Some of these beings are capable of intercepting the spiritual body when it is traveling.
• I am having communication with an alien being. This communication started early in 1992. What else can I say?
• The aliens can stay a step or two ahead of the thinking of scientists, and know how to leave insufficient clues behind that would satisfy the Sagan types, until society is better prepared mentally to face up to it all ... Perhaps you share the view that what’s going on with respect to UFOs and aliens, if deemed real, would be too traumatic to think about. However... they’ve shown themselves until back some 5,000-15,000 years or more ago when they were here for extended periods, spawning the god/goddess mythology of all cultures. The bottom line is that in all that time they haven’t taken over Earth; they haven’t subjected us or wiped us out.
• Homo sapiens was genetically fashioned, created initially to be substitute laborers and domestics for the SKY-LORDS (DINGIRS/ELOHIM/ANUNN AKI).
• The explosion that people saw was hydrogen fuel from a star cruiser, the landing sight was to be Northern California... The people on that star cruiser looked like Mr Spock from the ‘Star Trek’ TV series.
• Be the reports from the fifteenth century or the twentieth, a common thread ties the reports. Individuals who have experienced sexual trauma have a great deal of difficulty understanding and coping with the trauma. The terms used to describe the [resulting] hallucinations can be incoherent and incomprehensible.
• We find we are not as intelligent as we thought although we are still stiff-necked and our greatest sin is our pride. And we do not even know we are being led to Armageddon. The star pin-pointed a single shed, moved across the sky leading wise-men to that shed, frightened shepherds with the words fear not. Its spotlight was Ezekiel’s glory of God, Paul’s light that temporarily blinded him ... It was the ship in which little men took off old Rip, the little men called brownies, fairies, elves, these ‘creations’ of creators given specific duties... The God People are not yet ready to make themselves known to us. First, Armageddon, then, after we KNOW, we can go it alone. When we are humbled, when we do not shoot them down, God will return.
• The answer to these aliens from outer-space is simple. It comes from man. Man using drugs on people. In mental institutions all over the country, there are people who have no control over their emotions and behaviour. To control these people, they are given a variety of antipsychotic drugs ... If you have been drugged often...
