So the assumption here, is that if these beings are not from
Outer Space, then they must be from Inner Space; that is to
say, from another parallel dimension; the consensus seeming
to be the dark side of the Spirit Realm.

Another world-famous British writer and inventor who likewise
embraced this very same perspective, is Sir Arthur C. Clarke.
As many of you will already know, Mr. Clarke is the author of
"2001: A Space Odyssey" and its two sequels, as well as many
other extremely popular science fiction novels, such as the
"Rama" trilogy. Possessing a background in mathematics and
physics, Clarke has also written a number of technical books
over the years. In a July, 1975 New York Times Book Review,
Mr. Clarke stated:

"One theory which can no longer be taken very seriously is
that UFOs are interstellar spaceships."

As I mentioned a moment ago, Lord Hill-Norton, a former head
of the British Armed Forces, also recognized the dark nature
of at least some UFO experiences, and thus was motivated to
help found the Christian-based group "UFO Concern". While we
will be discussing Lord Hill-Norton later on in this series,
for the time being, let me to inform you that during a 1997
interview with the London-based "Church Times", which is a
leading Anglican weekly newspaper, Sir Hill-Norton pointedly
expressed the view that some UFO encounters are "definitely
antithetical to orthodox Christian belief."

In other words, Lord Hill-Norton was informing the public
that some of the concepts that have been propagated by the
occupants of UFO's, and by their followers, such as the New
Age crowd, are directly opposed to, and in contradiction to,
the basic tenets of our Christian faith. As I have stated on
many previous occasions, I have absolutely no doubt of this
point whatsoever, and I am in full agreement with it. Allow
me to remind you again that the Hebrew word "satan", which
in the New Testament Greek is "satanas", means "adversary";
or "one who withstands"; and the Devil is undoubtedly God's
primary adversary, as well as the Author of Confusion. He
knowingly, and purposely, stands against and opposes God,
and constantly questions the Authority of His Word.

That vile fiend's modus operandi is to continually confuse
people with all kinds of lies and delusions, so that they no
longer know what is true, and what is false. Satan promotes
a doctrine of relativism where there are no absolutes. After
all, when we deny God's existence, and ignore the Standards
of His Word, we in essence become our own gods, who create
our own laws and boundaries, or perhaps none at all. To see
where this defiant position leads us, just look at the sad
state of the nation of Iraq. It is a dreadful real world
reflection of what happens when we commit spiritual anarchy
against God, and reject His Rule of Law. Is it merely just a
coincidence that these "aliens" attempt to do the very same
thing through their devilish New Age teachings, where people
are taught that nothing is wrong, and everything is right,
and we each can create our own reality?

Tragically, the people who blindly accept the teachings of
these alleged "alien beings", or "Ascended Masters", as they
are also called, have been deceived into thinking that their
interaction with these evil entities is part of a positive
evolutionary process. We are told by many New Age writers,
erroneously so, that these benign "aliens" are assisting us
in elevating our consciousness, and our planet, to a higher
spiritual level, and plane of existence. From my research
over the years, it has become apparent that this dangerous
belief is quite rampant within New Age circles; and as we
saw earlier, Jacques Vallee arrived at the same conclusion.
These beings are intentionally manipulating human belief
systems for their own nefarious purposes.

In a June 1990 edition of the Journal of Near-Death Studies,
Kenneth Ring and Christopher J. Rosing, from the University
of Connecticut's Department of Psychology, reported their
findings from a study which had been conducted in order to
"assess the role of psychological factors in influencing
susceptibility to NDEs, [Near Death Experiences], and to
measure [the] aftereffects stemming from such events." This
study, called "The Omega Project: An Empirical Study Of The
NDE-Prone Personality", revolved around a mailed-out survey,
and involved one hundred twenty-eight people; seventy-four
of whom had experienced NDE's, and an additional fifty-four
individuals who possessed an interest in the topic. In their
findings, Ring and Rosing made the following observations.
Again, please note that I have added some words in brackets
in order to clarify what is being said:

----- Begin Quote -----

"There are wide-ranging and powerful, psychophysical changes
following either a UFOE, [UFO experience], or NDE . . .
[Both types of experiences involve] an increase in energy
currents in the body, mind expansion, information flooding,
and psychic abilities. These experiences reflect a purposive
intelligence . . . they are part of an accelerating
evolutionary current that is propelling the human race
toward higher [occult] consciousness and heightened
spirituality . . . What repeatedly struck us most forcibly
was the undeniable overall similarity between our two
experiential groups, UFOErs and NDErs . . . We should now
consider that despite the differences in the nature of these
experiences, they may have a common underlying source --
whatever that source may be."

Now, I am sure that we can agree that there is nothing wrong
with people seeking a higher level of spirituality in their
lives. Undoubtedly, if more people were more spiritual, and
less worldly, selfish and materialistic, society as a whole
would be in much better condition. But it is in how this new
level of spirituality is achieved which should be of concern
to us. In their paper, Ring and Rosing describe an increase
in "psychic abilities". While they state that there is "a
purposive intelligence" behind these events, they are unable
to identify the source of the intelligence. Who or what is
causing the "psychic abilities" that these people allegedly
possess? What is the nature of this force? Is it good, or is
it evil? No gift comes without a price, and to think that it
does is foolhardy.

I believe that the central issue here with which we need to
concern ourselves, is exactly how people's lives are affected
once they've had their experiences. Does the experience draw
them to a closer relationship with God? Does it result in the
recognition that Jesus Christ is the only Lord and Savior of
their lives? In the case of people who have really had true
Near Death Experiences, I would be more inclined to believe
that their NDE may have involved "Divine Intervention"; but
this is not necessarily a given. When an individual is on an
operating table in an artificially-induced physical state, I
honestly don't know what kind of effects that might have on
their mental condition, or on their five senses. When we are
caught in that surreal world which exists between a conscious
and unconscious state, who knows what tricks our mind might
play on us. We may have a distorted perception of reality.

However, in the case of those people who have had encounters
with alleged aliens and UFO's, the very belief systems which
are espoused, and promoted, by some of these beings, give us
good cause for alarm; because as Lord Hill-Norton observed,
these teachings are quite often in contradiction to the truth
found in God's Word, the Bible.

For those of you who may not be aware of said teachings, let
me to give you a few examples. As I point out in the series
"The Nibiru Planet X Wormwood Controversy", one idea that's
promoted by some of these beings, such as the Annunaki and
the Greys, is that they are our gods and our creators. They
assert that we were genetically engineered from an earlier,
less-developed hominid line. This is a widely-accepted view
which has even been promoted by some unHolywood movies and
popular sci-fi television programs, such as "The X-Files".
Supposedly, we are an alien-human hybrid race destined to
become a slave race when the "alien recolonization" begins.
We will be discussing this topic a bit more later on in our
series.

Even more surprisingly, some of these deceptive beings claim
that they created Jesus Christ, and raised Him from the dead
following His Crucifixion. Finally, as I have mentioned in
some of my previous articles, some New Age adherents do not
acknowledge Jesus Christ as the only-begotten Son of God, or
as the only Savior of the world. In their minds, He has been
reduced to merely being another "Ascended Master", not much
better than teachers such as Mohammad, Buddha, Confucius or
any other spiritual icon or teacher of times past or present.
As Professor Vallee noted, this is obviously an attempt to
create a One World Religion which will appeal to everyone,
and offend no one. Those of you who are also Bible-believing
Christians will undoubtedly realize how blasphemous these
ungodly teachings are. They are poison for the soul.
