What if "Angels" and "Gods" are aliens/extraterrestrials/extra-dimensionals?

[McBell]

I sort of imagine them as like Jedi Knights from Star Wars. Able to fly through space and using gadgets but also have access to magical forces like "The Force".

Except the Force is not magic...

Midi-chlorians

Midi-chlorians

Yeah I know that whole thing but nevertheless is a magic-like force they use regardless of the origin. Probably another example would be Final Fantasy 6. Where there was magic but also technology and sometimes the two would be infused and be known as Magitek

Angels are ideas. (hosted by the Lord of Hosts) The same basic thing as memes in the noosphere. There may have been an "archangel" or two that presented a physical embodiement at one time or another, but the concept of an angel as it exists today is a hopelesly confused conflation of an attempt to present a simple set of ideas to a simple people

Have you considered planets as having life and consciousness?
How about Stars....and Galaxies, etc......and yes, the ultimate being.....the Universe itself?

We live, move, and having our being in some higher being....in the same way as our organs, tissues, cells, etc....live move and have their being in a higher being. It's a holarchical Cosmos...

I like the concept to a certain extent. In my personal view, I think those ancient figures of religion were beings from other locations in the universe, perhaps from a separate dimension of reality as ours, possessing hyper advanced technology as well as being highly developed spiritual beings, with the ability to transform themselves into physical beings at will.

And I do believe that there are millions of species of advanced aliens all over the universe, and that these "angels" have visited them as well as us.

And I think the angel wings are plausible as well.

What are your thoughts on the idea?

Interesting!

I am really glad that you have caught onto "from a separate dimension of reality as ours".... I agree that that is a major key.

I forget if the following quotation is from chapter 2 or 3 but it is there near the first of the book:


Spirituality

What about beings from other planets, do you think they visit here?

Yes I do. And I think those who have been permitted to cross over into our world have been doing so for a very long time now (for a very important purpose) as Divinely arranged by Heaven. Since my NDE, because of a few things I was shown, it is now my deep belief that some of the more phenomenal events depicted in the Old Testament (such as the Great flood of Noah, the parting of the Red Sea for Moses, the mass explosion of Sodom and Gomorrah, etc) are not only very true, but were moments in time which were orchestrated and performed by beings of a much higher order and intelligence than our ownwho may have volunteered their technology and understandings or even sent to help guide and shape a culture within humanity during a pressing time within its development and evolution." (Christian Andreason)

Read: Chariots of the Gods


It really gives good reasons to believe what you just said.

I somewhat suspect that Richard Dawkins Ph. D. may have read "Chariots of the Gods" and it may have played a role in the answer that he gives her to Ben Stein?

If the video doesn't begin on the most relevant point it is just after the 3:25 second mark:

Indeed! what does God need with a starship?

Years ago I was watching a documentary about intergalactic travel, and the various types of ship that might be constructed for that distance.

Toward the end of the program, it was pointed out that a physical body of any kind won't do well at the speed of light.
Light waves seem able to do so, easily enough...but we can't.

To go from point a to b, and retain our form, would require a ship of enormous proportion, and a propulsion device even larger.
We might as well dream of taking the entire Earth with us.

Otherwise...spiritual form seems the way to go.
If we were made of light, and able to direct ourselves....well here we go!

How about.....
to stop the government of Jordan from blowing up the Temple Mount ......
which may indicate that G-d isn't finished with it yet??????

Huge Jordanian Generators Sighted on Temple Mount
