UFO Apocalypse Response
The first recurring theme I found throughout the article was the reason for UFO beliefs. In the middle of this century, we had extreme fear of world destruction due to the Cold War and nuclear threat. Coincidentally, this is about the same time "contactees" started reporting encounters with extraterrestrial beings who brought with them a warming for humanity of eminent worldly destruction due to their weapons of mass catastrophe. To them here is man creates these beliefs in order to respond to the dominating concerns of the times, which in our modern times, is the threat of humanity self-inflicting extermination, by means of catastrophic war time weapons, along with an overall disregard for the well being and survival of our human race. UFO contactees relay messages from ET's explaining an overall evil throughout the planet. This evil stems out of desire for power over others, and lack of compassion for other beings and nature, basically an aura of bad Karma surrounds earth. I also enjoyed explanations of how their human desire for power arises. I may be reading in between the lines too much, searching for my own biased explanation. The underlying factor I found in reading this article, is humans crave power over others and their surrounding world due to insecurity. Since many are not comfortable with them and can't face their utter powerlessness and insignificance in relation to the universe, we use false power and control as a means to apply usefulness and significance. This leads to certain elites gaining control over masses, and using the masses as a threat to other elites, all a grand scheme evoking evil; which is why UFO cults are on the rise, for there is very little sacred righteous though left on earth, leading many to call upon benevolent, enlightened beings of extraterrestrial origin, in order to ask for salvation from the evil empires of earth.
The other themes I found throughout the article relate to the messages received from the ET's. The first is the ET's will save us upon the coming of earth time Armageddon. The ET's will be awaiting to swoop down from the heavens, saving the blessed, chosen few, who will become transformed into enlightened beings, then placed back on earth to reign their own lives and spread a utopian, love based world view of peace and harmony within ourselves, our world and the universe of creation in which we belong.
Ely suggests that he and others are here to preach the central message of the reality of this world: that it is the only world, and a sad one. Prophets are necessary in order to correct the usual ways of the world. If the atheists are prophets, it is because they are correcting an error such as human hope. In this view, humans shape civilization of their own accord and do not possess any divine comprehension of life or of the universe. To Ely, it seems that the universe is so indifferent to humans that humans need to learn this basic lesson in order to honestly confront reality.
This paper will prove it will remain unknown if the Unidentified Flying Object (UFO) crash sighting at Roswell, New Mexico on July 4th, 1947 did happen, although the government is hiding Extraterrestrial information there. The following is a list of terms that may become confusing to some readers.
Now when one looks at the Great Awakening, it is hard to tell at first glance why exactly the movement was; 1. Such a success and 2. What exactly the results were from this. To dive deeper
Secondly, religion has a major role to play in the construction of this narrative. From the Judeo-Christian concepts of the apocalypse (i.e. great unveiling in the Ancient Greek language), to the mentions and appearances of the “prophet” in Station Eleven, the potential for the revival of old religions or the possibility of the creation of a new one provides evidence of the human need for self-actualization and deeply ingrained human desire to be a part of something much bigger than the human race itself. Thirdly, the basic human need for the overall welfare of oneself and the whole of humanity has been a desire and requirement for survival for as long as humanity has been grouped together in bands and societies; and for as long as humanity has existed. The basic human need and desire for companionship is both philosophical and biological; a man and a woman need to mate in order to survive, as well as people forming societies, groups, and friendships can further the progression of self-actualization within the global and local societies and
Firstly, Mustafa Mond explains how truth is a grave wrongdoing for modern society, “‘But truth’s a menace, science is a public danger. As dangerous as it’s been beneficent. It has given us the stablest equilibrium in history… But we can’t allow science to undo its own good work. That’s why we so carefully limit the scope of its researches’” (Huxley 227). At its core, the science in Brave New World is particularly limited to cloning and advanced technology which in itself, controls the populace by making them comfortable and euphorically happy. The contrast of this is the concept of future advancement and inevitable truth for a possibly different future. Mustapha Mond and those in a similar position merely desire the world to maintain its current shape and neither regress or progress in any form. They want a steady, unmoving equilibrium such as what they currently retain. Secondly, Bernard brings himself to attend a Solidary Service, where the people there will often sing songs and digest soma to feel the hypnotic effect of seeing and hearing Brave New World’s quantified deity known as Ford. “The chorus broke out into the third Solidarity Hymn: ‘Feel how the Greater Being comes! / Rejoice and in rejoicings, die! / Melt into the music of the Drums! / For I am you and you are I’” (Huxley 82). This hypnotic-like act induces a certain type of love, affection, and adoration for Ford, and resultantly, for this world’s government and the current way of life. It keeps them from thinking of alternative possibilities for the future, and rejoices in the worship of their great deity, which could be more of a relation to the world governments and their ability to maintain the peace rather than an literal immortal god. In either case, it promotes and influences the community into a type of
What is the central message of this text? Please explain it in your own words.
I also hypothesize that belief a human supremacy is nothing more than a myth that people continue to believe and act upon as response to this supposed mentality of superiority. Throughout the novel I also assert that modern civilization...
Throughout this essay I will demonstrate how religion has played a role in the lives of humans as well as explicate the reasoning behind the true nature of the creation of religion by a psychopath.
...ed Forces still to this day claim that the alleged "UFO" that was recovered was an experimental high-altitude surveillance balloon. This "balloon" was said to be part of the previously classified program, Mogul. The main UFO conspiracy states that an alien space craft was found, the occupants were captured, and the government started a massive cover up, Mogul being one of them.
Nonetheless, after Ed is picked to deliver “messages”, he is required to help and make a difference in his town. His participation ends up being an adventure to his own personal growth. Ed changes the lives of others but also learns that his life also has value and prospect. This theme is conveyed through characterisation, developing relationships and allegory.
In chapter two that is titled, The Pattern, Sowell what is interesting about visions, what are their assumptions and their reasoning. He then discusses the various characteristics of patterns that have evolved among the anointed. The pattern of failure is then listed into four stages: The “Crisis”, the “Solution”, the “Results”, and finally the “Response”.
Racial discrimination is a heavy topic for most people. It is an issue that affects many households across the world. Discrimination against immigrants is a particularly important issue in the story of racism. This type of discrimination is present in the biggest, smallest, richest, poorest, most powerful, and least powerful places. It is even present in stories, and verbal communications. Even if discrimination can be a hard topic to discuss, it needs to be talked about so that our society will never have to worry about racism again. In the story “Invasion from Outer Space” by Steven Millhauser, I believe that the yellow dust represents racial discrimination towards immigrants.
Man has always been driven to create. We constantly shape the world around us by inventing stories of heroes and monsters, by crafting complex but passionate ideals about good and evil. Some relish in the power that this manipulation of reality wields; others are more innocent in that they are simply yielding to a universal longing for something in which to believe.
Ultimately, the Great Awakening was a period for religious revival for the faith of many Puritans. Through Edward’s sermon, he paves a road to salvation through the use of variation in tone and figurative language/diction. Edwards shrewdly shifts from a cynical tone to
On the whole, the article is well-organized, and logical. Despite the abundance of unconfirmed statements, the alleged consequences of many of the events listed are believable. The article would be significantly more believable if there was a balance of arguments, of if the arguments listed were less disputable. The article should be considered a working, even persuasive, theory, rather absolute
