Ill tell u my beliefs ATM. I will try to read the rest of the thread later.
This is the conclusion I have come to after years of research, meditation, deep thoughts, dreams, life experiences, others opinions, and more:
There is an invisible world around us. There is more to this world than your senses. We only see a small amount of what is actually there. We are not seeing the world at its raw, real form, only an interpretation of it through electrical signals in our brain. There are many things that we cant see, hear, touch, taste, and smell. Just a simple example of this is that dogs can hear noises we cant, and smell things we cant. Multiply that times 1000 and then u will begin to understand how much more there is. That means that there is an invisible world around us. This also can tie in to the dimension thing. We can only experience anything up to the 4th dimension, and there are actually around 12 dimensions that we know of. Anything above the 5th dimension you will most likely never experience in this life. Even through drugs, dreams, meditation, anything that you do, you will only be able to see a portion of the 5th dimension, 6th at the very most through dying for a short time and coming back to life, along with very intense psychedelic experiences along with already being on a higher plane of existence.
I believe I have experienced part of what the meaning of the universe is. Part of the problem is that its very hard to understand in our everyday lives. We try so hard to understand it, but we are doing the wrong things. We also make it to complex. I dont believe it has anything to do with numbers or equations, its just there. Another important thing is the soul/spirit realm, which has also been called "The Ether". Every living thing has a soul. When we are not part of a physical body in this physical realm, we are a raw soul. We are still souls now as living, but our physical body keeps us limited on what we can do as souls. Think of it as our souls are dreaming while we are alive in a physical body. When our physical bodies die, we wake up in the soul realm. This is why there is no death, we never cease to exist. We live on forever through our soul. The spirit realm surrounds the earth. The earth itself is also somewhat living. It has a soul as well. Around the time of our birth, our souls enter our body, when we die, they leave. Intense psychedelic drug experiences like DMT help us see part of this soul realm. Im sure you have heard of the "Machine Elves". Most of these things exist in other dimensions or the soul realm.
Ghosts are pretty simple compared to the rest of this. They may be souls in this world that are not a living being, but take the form as a transparent shape of a human that has or has not lived. Each ghost has a reason why its here. Either through their choice or not. The heaven and hell we know are not exactly accurate. A god exists depending on which one you want to look at. Let me also tell you that no religion that I have learned about is correct. The majority of them have bits and pieces that are correct though. This world would be much better without religion though, and if people were more open minded. I want to look more at the physical side for a moment. Humans were not created instantly, and we also didnt evolve directly from primapes. There was beings from another planet or dimension that came to earth and combined their genes with apes through gene slicing. Primapes were most like them. They are one of the gods I was talking about. We are part them, and part primeape. Just some examples of why this could be true: why do you think we are so different and smarter than every other animal on the planet? why did only a small number of apes evolve into us while others are still the same? This happened thousands of years ago and we have been evolving ever since. That part is less important than most would think though, theres much more to learn than just that.
So as I just said, yes aliens are real and they do exist. There is nothing to fear though. There are many different types of aliens throughout the universe and the different dimensions. Its very possible to bend or break the supposed "law of physics". Its possible to exceed the speed of light and reach other areas instantly. There are also aliens who live on this planet and who have lived here for years. Some are not aliens, and have actually lived here for much longer than us. A lot of these UFO/USO stories and other alien stories are true. We as a society are not ready for contact with them yet. It should happen in the future though, how long it will take depends on us. 2012 is another topic. We will have to see what happens when the time comes, but believe that something will happen. Some good, some bad.
Thats just part of what I learned and a lot of it is still arguable, but I believe it. If you have any questions about anything, ask me and I will give you my conclusions and beliefs on it.
