Are Aliens and Demons One and The Same?

Edited by Loup Dargent | Monday, July 19, 2010 | , , , , | Comments





As some of you know already from either having read some of the posts in our good old 'Forward and Share' or visited my UFOs Related Mixx Community Group, that I'm rather interested in everything having to do with UFOs and Aliens (well, anything out of this world, really) so, when I saw what T. O' Donnell, our Guest Writer for today, had sent us, I knew I would definitely be in my element...

During the last ten years, I've read many articles/stories about the theory that demons were actually on this Earth long before the human race took over and that some of the aliens we think are regularly visiting this planet are in fact, those demons (who, apparently, now live in a parallel universe)...

Of course, for some of you, they're only fairy tales and Sci-Fi stories. For some others they're like the Gospel's Truth. For me, they're "What If?" kind of stories, worth looking into, whatever our beliefs...

So, let's look into the "Aliens and Demons" theory...
With T. O' Donnell as our designated guide.

Oh, and, enjoy this "a bit out of the ordinary" trip.

PS: While we're at it, there is one related story that hasn't been caught by my Zemanta application yet, but is still definitely worth a read or two. It's called "Patrick Harpur's Daimonic Reality"... It's written by our friend Paranormal Popcorn and is about a book by Patrick Harpur where it is suggested that "paranormal shapeshifting creatures do actually exist, and that they simultaneously inhabit both physical and spiritual realms, shifting back and forth between these realms at will." And those creatures (Daimons) "were not the 'demons' of contemporary Christian lore, but much, much older entities that pagan peoples recognized as being associated with actual locations or natural landmarks".Quite close to the theory of an ancient race that was on Earth long before the Human one, I would say...





Are Aliens
and Demons
One and The Same?
T. O' Donnell

The thing which has confounded UFO watchers is the lack of
concrete evidence for their existence. In this article, we will
compare and contrast the phenomena of UFOs and demonology, in an
attempt to explain this. Here are a few reasons the two
phenomena may be connected:

1. Lack of material evidence.

We have blurry pictures. We have marks on the ground. We have
fantastic eyewitness accounts of strange assaults on human
beings in isolated places.

What we don't have is much in the way of technological
evidence, if we're dealing with space travellers. Nothing like
the crashed remains of a Cessna. UFOlogists say the Government
is keeping these hidden. Given the constant spying scandals that
bedevil Western governments, it seems unlikely they could keep a
lid on such a sensation for very long.

An interesting alternative explanation is that UFOs are the
modern equivalent of fairies, demons, and ghouls. They attack
and sport with mortals who stray into their domain. Thus, they
leave little in the way of physical evidence; marks on the
witnesses bodies and a few scorch marks on the ground!

There is also the phenomenon of 'spirit photographs' versus UFO
photos. Both show vague blobs of light and are taken by
enthusiasts or by accident. There's just enough evidence to
pique one's interest, but nothing definitive. A grand waste of
time. Or a bluff.

2. Psychological effects.

UFO witnesses report odd effect on their psyches; interference
with their perception of time, oppression, physical assault,
sexual assault, psychic assault and dissociation.

This is peculiar behaviour if done by superior, benevolent
beings who have travelled across the galaxy in silver saucers.
It is perfectly consistent with the behaviour of man's oldest
Adversaries.

Investigators should consider whether seeing UFOs is simply the
result of the expectations of people living in a
technologically-obsessed era; they see strange things and
interpret them as machine-generated.

Also, if these phenomena are the work of the Evil One and his
minions, what a clever disguise, in a society obsessed with
science fiction and gadgetry!

3. 'By their fruits shall ye know them'.

Look at the UFO phenomenon from the perspective of the old
Christian adage 'By their fruits shall ye know them'.

The overall effect of the UFO phenomenon is discord, upset,
dissimulation and dissatisfaction. Nothing good or useful has
come of it. Indeed, it is very like the old popularity of
Spiritualism in Victorian times. A 'spirit guide' gives a
nebulous message. The medium is often unstable. Strange
phenomena are produced. It seduces a few needy and vulnerable
people, but nothing like a cancer cure, lasting conversion to
goodness or advanced knowledge comes out of it; just a lot of
verbiage.

Like demonic activity, the intent may be to distract those who
might genuinely find God otherwise.

Consider also the possibility that the Spirit or UFO is the
equivalent of a street bum or corner boy; some creature just
'hanging around' in another dimension or the astral (starry!)
plane. While they may be in another dimension, that does not
necessarily mean they are either wise or benevolent.

Rather, the intention may be to sport with, harass or vampirise
the witness.

I think it would be a very interesting exercise to look at the
reports of UFO witnesses and any follow-up research, in a
pragmatic way; has anything worthy come out of it? It the answer
is no, and in fact people's lives have degraded, then I think we
have our answer.

4. The quality of people involved.

UFOlogy, like the Templars and ancient Egypt, is a sizeable
industry. Many books are churned out each year. Bearded senior
gentlemen announce major revelations. The world turns as it
always does, indifferent.

UFOlogy is very similar to Spiritualism. It's interesting, but
it just ... doesn't ... quite ... satisfy, y'know? The effect is
oddly tiring, after a while. Zendar of the 9th Dimension gives
rather vague messages to humanity. A small clique of needy
people forms around the visionary.

If they're lucky, they retain their wits and their money, and
move on, eventually.

With the news of Torchwood returning soon(ish) to our TV screens (for more details and info, see the many Zemanta's related links at the end of this post), we thought that, while we're waiting for the Big Event, we might as well do some time travelling of our own and take you back to when (and finding out the reasons why in the process) Torchwood was originally founded...

Lawn Games for Good and Inexpensive Summer Family Fun

In today's post, Rachel Paxton - our Guest Writer for the day, shares with us some tips to help make Summer time a great and fun family time...

I'm quite lucky where I live, because it's not too far from the sea front (5 minutes walking distance) and the local park. So when the kids come visit me, there is always somewhere to go during the summer. But, while it's great to be able to go to the beach or/and the park whenever we want, the kids do tend to get bored very easily and quickly and that's when the unexpected added expenses (extra drinks, ice-cream cones, etc...) that are not always easy to pay for when you are on a very stretched budget (hey, I need to save some money if I want to go that ideal holiday destination suggested in the other post, don't I?) get in the way...

Lawn games look like the solution for me. It involves a bit of shopping, of course, but whatever I'll buy will definitely pay for itself after a few weeks.

Enjoy, and have (an inexpensive) fun this Summer!

Lawn Games 
for Summer Family Fun
by Rachel Paxton


Summer is a great time to play lawn games outside with your
family. There are many affordable games available to choose
from, and most games are portable so you can take them camping or
to the local park for large gatherings of family and friends.

The last time I went to Walmart I found all of these lawn games
for $20 or less.


Ladder Ball

Ladder Ball has been very popular for the past couple of years.
The game comes with two "ladders" and balls that are attached
together with short nylon ropes. Each rope has a ball on each
end. Each player gets three of these ropes to throw at a ladder.
Points are based on which rung of the ladder the rope wraps
around. This game is fun for all ages. For young children you
will have to let them stand really close to the ladder so they
can hit it, but even adults have a great time playing this game.

Bean Bag Toss

I just picked this bean bag toss game up the other day. It was
only $19 at Walmart. It is the classic bean bag toss game. It
comes with two collapsable platforms that each have a hole in
them to throw bean bags through. This game is also suitable for
children of all ages. Even toddlers will love this game. Our 1
year old loves running up to the platform and dropping the bean
bag through the hole. This game comes with a portable carrying
case. The platforms have removable legs and everything folds up
and fits in the bag so you can take it with you. This game can
also be played in the house. It is great for rainy days!



Horseshoes


Horse Shoes

This is the classic game of horse shoes, also $19 at Walmart. It
comes in a portable carrying case so is easy to take along with
you to wherever you want to play it.


Magic Mitts / Rally Ball

This game is a little different but fun. It is only $5 and is two
games in one. It comes with two mitts that have velcro on one 
side of them. Each player wears a mitt and you throw a ball back
and forth to each other, using the velcro to catch the ball. The
game also comes with two flat paddles and a rally ball to hit
back and forth to each other.


LONDON, ENGLAND - JUNE 16:  A game of 'Paille Maille' is played on the Mall by players dressed in 17th century period costume on June 16, 2009 in London, England. It is the first time in 400 years that the game has been played on the street that it eventually gave it's name to due to its popularity there in the 17th century.

Croquet

When I was a child, croquet was one of my favorite lawn games.
It was one of the only lawn games that my family played together,
and I always looked forward to when my parents got it out for us
to play. Walmart also has an inexpensive portable version of
this favorite game. This game is great for children that are old
enough to be able to use a mallet to hit a ball on the ground.
The object of the game is to be the first to hit a ball through a
series of wickets that are set into the ground.


Hopefully these lawn game ideas will inspire you to go out and do
something fun with your family this summer. Kids love to spend
time with their parents, and lawn games are a great way to spend
time together and have some fun at the same time.

If your Facebook profile was a holiday destination, what would it be? 

Of course, you know what your ideal holiday destination is, don't you?
I mean, who knows you better than... well... you?

Plus, you don't need anyone to tell you what you want, do you? 
Not only you know what you want, but you also recognise quality when you see it...  
After all, you do read LoupDargent.com

(Hmmm... okay, that last bit might not really help your case, but we/you know what we/you mean.)

But, to come back to the ideal holiday destination topic, have you ever wondered what your Facebook profile would be if it was a holiday destination? 













The Holiday Match Maker is a Facebook App from Halifax. It’s one of those rare things, a Facebook application that is genuinely useful and entertaining at the same time. 

It’s quite clever too. By analysing the content of your profile, it will ’calculate’ what your ideal holiday destination is, where you should stay, what you should do, what the weather’s like at the moment and how many plastic Eiffel Towers you can buy for a fiver. Now it doesn’t get much more useful than that. 

It will also point you in the direction of Halifax Travel Money, something you might find handy when going on holiday (fair enough, it's an App from Halifax after all...). 















Mine is... wait for it.... 

Nope, not Paris.... 

Not Southend-on-Sea either... 

it's... yes.... Chamonix!

















 

Hold on, there is more....

"Being an adventurous kind of guy, you'll love testing out the slopes and of course enjoy the après-ski! The beautiful mountain landscape will make Chamonix a great destination for your birthday celebrations. The kids will love it too! Why not bring along Christy Guichard?"

Brilliant! 

(Just in case you were wondering, Christy is one of my daughters...)



Please, do let us know what your results are...
But, most of all, have fun!
