[Jane Doe]

I'm sorry, it was simple miscommunication. My improper use of the word "evolution". When I said I was agnostic about evolution, I meant party-line-magic-lightning-bolt-creates-life-from-primordial-soup-evolution-is-the-only-possiblity evolution. I actually said in my previous post that micro evolution had been proven to my satisfaction

Sorry if I was a little overbearing there. It just really bothers me how misunderstood evolution is. I think I may be a bit preoccupied with the misconceptions surrounding the issue.

And sometimes we're just delusion or conflicted - nothing wrong with that. I know a woman who thought she was Jesus and went on a shopping spree, staying at hotels and not paying, speaking incoherently with disjointed thoughts, making grandiose claims, etc. Once she was able to get medicine for schizophrenia, which was hereditary in her case, her perspective shifted.

I can understand people wanting to take medication if their life is seriously affected, but I do think medication is overused.

I just think there are often reasons why brains may be “misbehaving” and it is, quite frankly, a little too easy to take a pill and cover it up. Looking within yourself to figure out why your thinking or functioning has shifted can be scary, and taking a pill seems like an easy solution that often times doesn’t get to the root of the issue. Instead, it masks the issue so you aren’t even aware of it anymore. I have thought that “misbehaving brains” are somehow related to paranormal/otherworldly activity for quite some time. It was only after my brain went haywire that I first experienced a “transcendent” state. It was all very similar to a near death experience, actually, only without the almost dying part…if that makes sense. That was the time in my life when I saw UFOs. More than once.

my intention for this thread, perhaps the reason for an announcement would be to help lessen the fear, create a sense of trust and sharing, and create a greater collective transformation through wisdom/understanding that will be shared.

I do understand where you are coming from, but I think it is more beneficial for people to overcome the fear within themselves by themselves.

Learning through experience is more meaningful than learning something explicitly stated. You said earlier that you tend not to believe something until you have experienced it…or something similar. I’m not trying to twist your words here, so forgive me if I just did. I’m constantly learning new things just by thinking about them and paying attention to my environment, making mental notes of those things that jump out at me. Right now, I really don’t think aliens muck around with our genes. It seems more probable, and quite honestly more miraculous, that our genes have developed how they have through the small steps of evolution. If I start to notice “signs” or hints that point me in a different direction, then my mental path will be taking a very sharp turn. It’s happened to me before concerning other subjects.

Through my own experiences and introspection, I believe in and trust the “aliens.” Learning to trust things and believing in things that can’t be proven…isn’t that called faith? Isn’t that what almost every religion preaches?

I also don’t believe that the aliens are simply “watching” us, which is a pretty creepy concept. They are doing something, but nobody knows what. It’s the unknown, and many people fear the unknown. What is the common denominator in alien abduction stories? Missing time. Hazy memories. The unknown. It’s very sounds similar to death, actually…
