What would you do?

If the world fell apart and...

The Ashtar Command

...showed up as our saviours.

What would you do?

RedGreen,

That's the New Age Movement. You'd be surprised how many are involved in it and many claim to channel spirits bringing messages from these beings.

The reason I posted this was because I see these topics pop up once in awhile.

Now let's say, just for the sake of discussion, they are actually channeling these spirits.

Who are they?

In such instances, I pause, reflect, and ask myself...

WWBD?

What Would Blackwater Do?

I believe they have a reputation for hosing down an area with automatic weapons fire...

What exactly would that entail ? Do the Ashtars show up with some zero-point limitless energy or the warp drive engine ? In what way would they be .saving. us ?

Hey Ludi,

Its a deception and I just want to make it clear that I'm not supporting it in any way.

I just thought I'd bring it up because a few people in another thread were talking about it and was hoping they'd take part in the thread.

I actually wrote a blog about New Age spirituality back in early September if anyone is interested in reading it.

But of course Paul was completely honest and forthright. Not to mention that we know, empirically and without any doubt whatsoever, that his 'visions' were given to him by The One True God[sup]TM[/sup]... :roll:

Always a good question to ask about "saviours." What are they saving you from and how, exactly?

Thanks, I thought it was a relevant question. If some group shows up and says they are a saviour I want to know those things and also - what do they want from me? If they want to control my life and offer nothing useful in return, then I think Jack's Blackwater approach becomes a very real consideration. On the other hand, if they have something good to offer, maybe we can talk.

Looks like the Ashtarians or whatever the heck they are, want to be your "masters."

Which I think means they want you to be their slave.

That's harsh. How about "under their protection" or "benefitting from their wisdom"? Have you learned nothing from decades of spin?

My first instinct is that they are filled with the same hubris as most other anthropic religions. The idea that among the decillions of cubic light years of the universe, Earth and humans are in any way, shape, or form an important part of it.

To believe in something miraculous, I'd have to see something miraculous. People saying "they've heard a spirit" isn't miraculous. A book of people saying they've seen miracles is not miraculous, either. My wife or parents saying they saw a miracle would be out of character, but also not miraculous.

And, as for seeing, I'm not much fun at magic shows, either.
