    Thought the same thing. It’s like we’ve replaced god with aliens and all we want from them is answers to solve our problems when we should be able to solve them ourselves. Otherwise what incentive is there for aliens to even contact us and have a proper cultural exchange. They probably just see us as brats who can’t keep our planet tidy.

    I think it's better to be realistic, than optimistic. Our inability to find other intelligent life in the universe most likely means that intelligent life can't exist for long enough to be easily detectable. Such life probably ceases to exist, soon after it arises. Because given the law of large numbers, it's far more likely that intelligences and civilizations like ours have briefly arisen and quickly fallen many times before, rather than us being the first and the only such intelligence in our galaxy and our universe. The problem with intelligence even here on Earth is that the source and continuous development of intelligence is closely tied to conflicts and ever better ways of fighting and destroying one's opposition. This kind of thing works only up to the point where technology and intelligence becomes so advanced that it leads to mutual destruction between the conflicting and fighting intelligences. Intelligence is inherently self-destructive because intelligence doesn't just lead to greater cooperation. It also leads to ever better ways of outsmarting your opponents and doing them more harm than they do to you. And it's this ever more effective ways of harming your opponents that eventually leads to mutual destruction.

    A piece from a new book titled: Saved by the Light of the Buddha Within Myoho-Renge-Kyo represents the identity of what some scientists are now referring to as the unified field of consciousnesses. In other words, it’s the essence of all existence and non-existence - the ultimate creative force behind planets, stars, nebulae, people, animals, trees, fish, birds, and all phenomena, manifest or latent. All matter and intelligence are simply waves or ripples manifesting to and from this core source. Consciousness (enlightenment) is itself the actual creator of everything that exists now, ever existed in the past, or will exist in the future - right down to the minutest particles of dust - each being an individual ripple or wave. The big difference between chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo and most other conventional prayers is that instead of depending on a ‘middleman’ to connect us to our state of inner enlightenment, we’re able to do it ourselves. That’s because chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo allows us to tap directly into our enlightened state by way of this self-produced sound vibration. ‘Who or What Is God?’ If we compare the concept of God being a separate entity that is forever watching down on us, to the teachings of Nichiren, it makes more sense to me that the true omnipotence, omniscience and omnipresence of what most people perceive to be God, is the fantastic state of enlightenment that exists within each of us. Some say that God is an entity that’s beyond physical matter - I think that the vast amount of information continuously being conveyed via electromagnetic waves in today’s world gives us proof of how an invisible state of God could indeed exist. For example, it’s now widely known that specific data relayed by way of electromagnetic waves has the potential to help bring about extraordinary and powerful effects - including an instant global awareness of something or a mass emotional reaction. It’s also common knowledge that these invisible waves can easily be used to detonate a bomb or to enable NASA to control the movements of a robot as far away as the Moon or Mars - none of which is possible without a receiver to decode the information that’s being transmitted. Without the receiver, the data would remain impotent. In a very similar way, we need to have our own ‘receiver’ switched on so that we can activate a clear and precise understanding of our own life, all other life and what everything else in existence is. Chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo each day helps us to achieve this because it allows us to reach into the core of our enlightenment and keep it switched on. That’s because Myoho-Renge-Kyo represents the identity of what scientists now refer to as the unified field of consciousnesses. To break it down - Myoho represents the Law of manifestation and latency (Nature) and consists of two alternating states. For example, the state of Myo is where everything in life that’s not obvious to us exists - including our stored memories when we’re not thinking about them - our hidden potential and inner emotions whenever they’re dormant - our desires, our fears, our wisdom, happiness, karma - and more importantly, our enlightenment. The other state, ho, is where everything in Life exists whenever it becomes evident to us, such as when a thought pops up from within our memory - whenever we experience or express our emotions - or whenever a good or bad cause manifests as an effect from our karma. When anything becomes apparent, it merely means that it’s come out of the state of Myo (dormancy/latency) and into a state of ho (manifestation). It’s the difference between consciousness and unconsciousness, being awake or asleep, or knowing and not knowing. The second law - Renge - Ren meaning cause and ge meaning effect, governs and controls the functions of Myoho - these two laws of Myoho and Renge, not only function together simultaneously but also underlie all spiritual and physical existence. The final and third part of the tri-combination - Kyo, is the Law which allows Myoho to integrate with Renge - or vice verse. It’s the great, invisible thread of energy that fuses and connects all Life and matter - as well as the past, present and future. It’s also sometimes termed the Universal Law of Communication - perhaps it could even be compared with the string theory that many scientists now suspect exists. Just as the cells in our body, our thoughts, feelings and everything else is continually fluctuating within us - all that exists in the world around us and beyond is also in a constant state of flux - constantly controlled by these three fundamental laws. In fact, more things are going back and forth between the two states of Myo and ho in a single moment of time than it would ever be possible to calculate or describe. And it doesn’t matter how big or small, famous or trivial anything or anyone may appear to be, everything that’s ever existed in the past, exists now or will exist in the future, exists only because of the workings of the Laws ‘Myoho-Renge-Kyo’ - the basis of the four fundamental forces, and if they didn’t function, neither we nor anything else could go on existing. That’s because all forms of existence, including the seasons, day, night, birth, death and so on, are moving forward in an ongoing flow of continuation - rhythmically reverting back and forth between the two fundamental states of Myo and ho in absolute accordance with Renge - and by way of Kyo. Even stars are dying and being reborn under the workings of what the combination ‘Myoho-Renge-Kyo’ represents. Nam, or Namu - which mean the same thing, are vibrational passwords or keys that allow us to reach deep into our life and fuse with or become one with ‘Myoho-Renge-Kyo’. On a more personal level, nothing ever happens by chance or coincidence, it’s the causes that we’ve made in our past, or are presently making, that determine how these laws function uniquely in each of our lives - as well as the environment from moment to moment. By facing east, in harmony with the direction that the Earth is spinning, and chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo for a minimum of, let’s say, ten minutes daily to start with, any of us can experience actual proof of its positive effects in our lives - even if it only makes us feel good on the inside, there will be a definite positive effect. That’s because we’re able to pierce through the thickest layers of our karma and activate our inherent Buddha Nature (our enlightened state). By so doing, we’re then able to bring forth the wisdom and good fortune that we need to challenge, overcome and change our adverse circumstances - turn them into positive ones - or manifest and gain even greater fulfilment in our daily lives from our accumulated good karma. This also allows us to bring forth the wisdom that can free us from the ignorance and stupidity that’s preventing us from accepting and being proud of the person that we indeed are - regardless of our race, colour, gender or sexuality. We’re also able to see and understand our circumstances and the environment far more clearly, as well as attract and connect with any needed external beneficial forces and situations. As I’ve already mentioned, everything is subject to the law of Cause and Effect - the ‘actual-proof-strength’ resulting from chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo always depends on our determination, sincerity and dedication. For example, the levels of difference could be compared to between making a sound on a piano, creating a melody, or producing a great song, and so on. Something else that’s very important to always to respect and acknowledge is that the Law (or if you prefer God) is in everyone and everything. NB: There are frightening and disturbing sounds, and there are tranquil and relaxing sounds. It’s the emotional result from any noise or sound that can trigger off a mood or even instantly change one. When chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo each day, we are producing a sound vibration that’s the password to our true inner-self - this soon becomes apparent when you start reassessing your views on various things - such as your fears and desires etc. The best way to get the desired result when chanting is not to view things in a conventional way - rather than reaching out to an external source, we need to reach into our own lives and bring our needs and desires to fruition from within - including the good fortune and strength to achieve any help that we may need. Chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo also reaches out externally and draws us towards, or draws towards us, what we need to make us happy from our environment.

    An interesting question. In an attempt to answer this, we can only use our own timeline as a guide. First thought, we don’t know our position in the universe as we can see anything only as far as its light has able to travel. At this time, the JWT has recorded an object that was created 300 millions after the beginning of the universe and likely there are things further out than that. Second thought, in every direction there are galaxies millions of lightyears away from us. So no matter which direction we look, one of the directions has millions of years of development and evolvement. Not taking into account that those galaxies hasn’t already been destroyed, while their light is just reaching us now. We can however assume, between here and there exists galaxies that are current existing and within them possible alien intelligence. The milky way began some 13.6 billion years ago and possibly life on earth some 4 billions ago. Homo sapiens began some 300 millions years ago and only within the last century are we capable of traveling off the ground. Less than 100 years. Any sentient alien intelligence capable of reaching us, since we are far from reaching them, would be advanced compared to us. Would the comparison assimilate einstein looking at an ape, a morganucodontids, or a virus? It should be that of a scientist seeing/studying a subject. How far ahead would such an alien have evolved? My guess, language would not be a problem. Words would no longer be used, thought and understanding would be transferred without sounds. Regardless of the differences, they would be understanding but also aware of our primitive nature to be destructive, how we see through fearful eyes. Hopefully at some point, they’d help us evolve into an animal that isn’t cutting off the environmental branch upon which we sit. Or they’d realized we actually need to destroy half the earth and ourselves, so the survivors would learn the importance of environmental care. My guess, the advanced alien would know the value and uniqueness of life anywhere. Maybe some of us would be worth talking to, but as a species we are not.

As we have emphasized throughout our briefings, they need human assistance to establish themselves in your world. They need the human infrastructure. They need human government and religion. They need your assistance to establish their operations here fully and reliably. And they will provide you a semblance of your former life in order to maintain human order and allegiance to the best of their ability. In order to accomplish and to maintain this, however, they will have to establish a very deep network of deception that we have been describing all along. Here you must understand that they regard you as a resource as well. They do not consider you to be their equals. They do not value your religions, your cultures or your customs. They see you primarily as one of the resources of the world. As such, they seek to take advantage of you in all the ways that they can that they deem to be profitable and valuable to their interests.

    I believe that we can use game theory to simulate life and evolution. For example some basic atoms of carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, magnesium, calcium etc and then a spark of lighting that fused them, some external factors (pressure, temperature, gravity etc) that got these complex molecules rolling, and over time fusing with others into more complex molecules, then adding other complex molecules to the chain that eliminated the need for external factors like lightning, pressure since some of the new molecular fabric provided these functionalities. Maybe these complex entities use other complex entities of molecules as tools to get more complex. Apply all this to growth decay curves so that only certain chains of fusion of molecules to build more complex ones survive..etc. or take the current scenario and apply game theory to evolve us into a hypothetical general AI machine (or being). Some questions that will remain fundamental though over millenniums to come is why particle physics is the way it is or could it have been different. Why electrons, neutron, profiles, quarks, strong and week forces. The fundamental question is why this specific fabric of space time and everything within it. Even if we were able to recreate the same universe as a new multiverse, we still need to answer questions on the fundamental behaviour of particles and space time. It can't be left to an entity called god but perhaps the creation itself is the creator and that this creation is finite but infinite for our comprehension. Some other aspects of things within this creation is durability (instead of calling it life and death) everything so called living or not including stars, galaxies, universe in its present for have a beginning and end: after that a cycle or an evolution. Even if all so called matter is destroyed, there is the space-time fabric which remains. I believe this creation/creator (space-time fabric) needs to be better understood as it creates things out of nothing. Apart from the main reason we use religion is for health, happiness and love (all chemicals we long for). Perhaps in our history of time we found time periods where these chemicals were more abundant than at other times.

    Another wonderful video from Robert Kuhn's channel, Closer to TRUTH. I wonder if the actual Bands/ Arms of galaxies stabilized at different times. Are the inner arms older than the outer ones? Such a thing might dictate when and where intelligence is more evolved. Perhaps the solar systems at the ends of outer arms get flung out of the Galaxies, to wander around until another Galaxy attract them. And perhaps we are transmitting but we simply don't have the right receivers. Yet, even a Civilization far advanced wouldn't totally remove its capabilities to detect ancient technologies such as we currently rely on. We have nuclear power, but still occasionally catch sticks on fire to meet certain needs. And humans have never been able/ willing to keep a designed project going for thousands or millions of years. Except for the innate curiosity we possess. And would advanced intelligence consider it wise to enable lesser creatures to basically bypass and leapfrog evolution to any great degree? Trial and Error might show that to not be the best way to go. We still have natives shooting arrows at aircraft and then running off into the jungle scared half to death. Our science relies on a set of rules. That is, a certain Phase. Advanced beings might be able to tap into differing phases. The fragility of our biosphere doesn't lend itself to branching out very much. We are very lonely as a species, especially with death part of the equation. Until we, (hopefully) solve the Speed of Light problem, we are probably just Stuck like Chuck. No endeavors like robotics would be continued long enough to really explore very much or very far, given the vagaries of human psychology. We're imprisoned for quite a while yet it seems. We scratch on the surface of Opaque Possibilities. We scratch that surface and then, so far, simply scratch our heads.

    I have kept the following as easily understood as I can so most will understand it. We need not worry about alien consequences. Our lives are far too short and the distances too large. NOTHING travelling through space can exceed light speed, it's impossible. Space itself CAN exceed light speed as it expands, but obviously means nothing to us. Many things could be done, but for us humans there is only one thing worth considering. What if the nearest alien life would take more than a human lifetime to reach? In space terms, at the speed we could muster, ''nearest'' means extremely close! But it doesn't matter much. Let's say we could make contact using radio radio which travels at light speed, and let's say the alien planet is in Alpha Centauri, the nearest star system to us at a mere 4 light years distant. Doesn't sound much does it? In fact it is 24 Trillion miles away! Meeting our space terms of ''nearest''! Bear in mind even radio would take 4 years to reach the planet Proxima Centauri in the Alpha system. So, we hear a radio signal from there which was obviously sent 4 years previously, we decide to reply immediately which will take 4 years to reach the aliens. So, we said ''Hello'' and they replied ''Hello back'', that took 8 years! Now we come to the crunch! How long would it take before both parties became totally bored with the wait for 2 way communication? Pretty quickly, I think! Forget travelling it would take many, many years to reach Proxima Centauri. About 150 thousand of them and that's at a very optimistic speed!

    Consider that, when we use our best telescopes, much of what we see in the universe (today) ..actually 'happened' many many years ago (by our time frame). The universe is that big. Those pesky 'speed of light' laws ..make the Universe a strange, time travelling experience. And this, might go some way to explaining why we don't see any 'aliens' ..when we look out over the universe we can 'observe', the further we look the more we go back in time. We don't 'see' the Universe as it actually 'is' today. Even the closest Star systems to ours, can't be viewed in 'realtime' (simply due to the time it takes light to get here). Even the distance between Earth and our own Sun, causes a form of 'time travel / time drag'.

    People forget that there is spacetime, not just space. Ex.: If a ten thousand years more advanced civilization was at our stage ten thousand years ago and it is eleven thousand years away from us, there still another thousand years for its TV signal to reach us. Nevertheless, if we don't look very hard all the time, we will not find.
