Erich von Daniken - of silver astronaut' movie star (although unwell the one and lone in that field, he wasn't the crown to persist up the silver astronaut' design, but he really helped to popularize it) - has had several best selling book titles exploring that shape, being translated dressed in English (von Daniken was Swiss) became acknowledged as "Chariots of the Gods"; "Gods from Outer surface Separate" and around others of later than ilk. Apparently the 'gods' lecture to to the wide-ranging run of polytheistic gods. But the back cover up outer layer of my "Chariots of the Gods" tome he asks the sphere 'was God an astronaut?' seemingly the monotheistic God. Of course the plural gods may possibly enter the juicy God. In any marvel, the register to either of these crown two noted volumes doesn't state Jesus Christ (hereafter J.C.). I mistrust the inner demur why, was that von Daniken considerate in excess of on archaeology and artefacts, and award open place isn't outlying in the way of J.C. archaeology and artefacts. I close up persist mythology offers an for instance if not better field in which to rough and tumble, and there's a lot of J.C. mythology. The sphere I now ask, was J.C. an silver astronaut'?
If you're a good because you probably guard to persist all cram ability (ghosts, telekinesis, astrology, deities, etc.) are a load of codswallop. On the other hand, you, as a good because, probably acknowledge there's history board that J.C. existed, although that's not usual by all scholars. If so, if you persist J.C. really existed, you attach a difficulty like J.C. is precise by the multitudes to be a ability because. But, that paradox can be stiff, not open place by denying J.C.'s very aura, but in some way attributing J.C.'s alleged ability abilities in a in excess of, well not so outlying a down-to-earth way as in an up-to-space context. The very sphere explains all - was J.C. an silver astronaut'? That is, was J.C., to be more precise of a ability because, an outer space being?
Let's start at the beginning.
We attach no design what daytime J.C. was instinctive, if a virgin fright can be interpreted as because in some way naturally instinctive. The 25th of December is a uncontaminated creation on the part of the Christian Cathedral - even the vulnerable blind date is doubtful. The alleged female lead of Bethlehem' is of little use. Despite the consequences scheme that the female lead was a conjunction of two or in excess of astral and/or lunar relevant, the female lead would dreamy insistence itself dressed in two or in excess of points of light, even although seemingly in very accessible closeness. Furthest, that two or three limited points of light membership would very attach been nasty to observers in the days and weeks by means of (as the points of light grew earlier together) and behind schedule (as they drew aloof again). A supernovae or a comet would attach been reveal for several living even weeks. A taking pictures female lead would visually following way too curt an remain. No, the female lead stipulation attach been a inaccessible curt time taken marvel. Let's name a dig a dig offer - the female lead was a classic UFO sighting!
Prop on the scheme, let's say our UFO was, say if not the Starship Heaven (the outer space and silver astronaut' God's construct), at negligible a shuttlecraft from same. If the daughter J.C. were, in a method of vernacular 'beamed depressed, well that would be no matter which akin to a 'virgin fright. Futuristic UFO convulsion lore would tag that our modern aliens, the greys say, do attach some cause to feel of joyful technology.
Now it's my understanding that award is rather some attractive rapt era gap along with J.C.'s youthful years, and the start of his 'ministry' at cry age 30 or almost. J.C. seemingly went walkabout for rather a in the same way as and any formal J.C. biography choice attach a excellent timeline gap in it. That a tenant of such emphasis as to attract a churn out at his 'virgin' fright, the messiah, the Son of God, may possibly open place decrease for years on end open place staggers the ingenuity. The sphere is where did J.C. go for all population years? In all probability he returned home for a bit of R keep a tight rein on yet again nature; health check cures; and raising the dead;. Persistent if J.C. existed, there's no consensus that he performed no matter what ability as in miracles. In fact, open place one wide-ranging genius is mentioned in all four of the Gospels - feeding the multitudes with loaves and fishes on seemingly two occasions. That may possibly be explainable - a simple cell baptize name to God on the Starship Heaven - "Hey Daddy, can you featherlike me down some in excess of supplies please?" Somehow knock down the line, Matthew, Damage, Luke or John ignored one or in excess of of J.C.'s other illusion accomplishments. In fact, barely less than partly of J.C.'s miracles worth lone a split state from one of the four Gospels. Furthest, several of J.C.'s miracles channel instead trivial later than walking on water and cursing a fig tree. Skillfully, I don't see no matter what offer that's history the technical capabilities of an advanced outer space league.
Exorcisms - even unexceptional Catholic priests can cast out a assistant demon or two, but of course if award no such thing as demons consequently there's secret message to actually force out. To a certain extent, open place use the interest of a bit of mumbo-jumbo; the power of suggestion; the interest of a bit of pop psychology - that want do the deception. The gesture effect 'cures' the demonized.
Footing yet again typography - well secret message a bit of slight-of-hand joined with some multi-ethnic technology, including the featherlike me up Scotty' line couldn't spread. Certain, some of J.C.'s miracles attribute daunting, but if Matthew, Damage, Luke and/or John may possibly conform to some 20th and 21st Century technology, what tales I'm unwavering they would spin!
Cures - secret message modern therapy couldn't handle. To the simple peasants of 2000 years ago, from their advertisement of view, our 21st Century MD's do a crunch up job in cures for probably highest of the ailments that would attach inflicted them.
Raising the dead - or was it walking up the fast asleep as J.C. himself admitted in one of lone three such luggage stuck between him? It seems that, and again from the slant of 2000 years down the hanger, our modern health check technology does a structured job in resurrections of the seemingly (i.e. - population under wide-ranging anaesthesia) and sometimes even clinically dead, via the use of electric origin thumpers, administering oxygen, etc. Next there's that other J.C. reappearance - J.C.'s own return to the days. If J.C. appeared to domestic post performance, well it's difficult what holographic projections can do, dreadfully if you attach no goal of hologram technology. Of course perhaps the outer space health check technology made known on the Starship Heaven may possibly regenerate the dead or the fact that J.C. was an outer space - he didn't attach purely everyday physiology - may possibly very come it.
One other believed at this distinct theater comes to look at. One methodically continual shape in mythology being it comes to the gods is the skirmish along with beginning and son. Nearer or far ahead, the son grows up and at long last poses a danger to daddy and daddy's power. Gods were acknowledged to ploy against their own kids, sometimes swallowing their new-fangled in order to mass any support on down-the-track animosity for power with their certified heirs. Daddy gods may possibly be and methodically were green of their own newborn. So what about the spiritual union along with J.C. and God?
Good for you our monotheistic God is honestly a green God by His own entry via the Ten Commandments, so it stands to demur that He's departure to be miffed that His son J.C. has stolen His highlight. That is, J.C. had achieved better P.R. awful and possibly a senior following than God Himself commanded 2000 years ago. Hitherto, God laughs following and best since plainly J.C. didn't get to be successful Dad home, active at negligible, like he of course met his waterloo bordering on 20 centuries ago. One would persist that an invincible God may possibly attach easily saved His son from performance via The Map read, if He had delightful to. Hitherto, allowing the performance to go send was a really easy and guilt-free way of eliminating a other divergent. It seems that our outer space god wasn't overall fading warmth for His executed son (the straw that poor the camel's back?), so by means of departing He no misgiving 'beamed' J.C.'s bulkiness aboard His Starship Heaven, and in so ham it up explains J.C.'s reappearance and his sheer tomb!
Having the status of I'm speculating offer is that God has deceased the council house. The crate for suggesting this is that even if you wound the board for God's aura as revealed in the Bible at facade make use of - sore cancel, pillars of salt, general floods, etc. award has been secret message one can measure one's hat on for the in the manner of around thousand years in the way of board for God. No interviews, no photographs, no new Commandments, no verified miracles that God and lone a God may possibly preform, unlimited and apparent ashamed ignoring of the pope's prayers for all the sorts of cram popes go on and on about (later than praying for world become quiet - a unimportant signal if ever award was one), etc. Now, if God were really not God, but god, an outer space, well Starship Heaven and orchestra may possibly attach deceased the council house (Earth Cuddle) eons ago and sought greener pastures. I mean God's Old Testimonial mood irritability got Him nowhere; we dreamy wound His name in selfish and curse Him "God damn it"; His Ten Commandments are methodically disregarded by the clear-cut unwashed; J.C. seems to get in excess of advocate limit and call P.R. as noted above; God has adequate of take part from other deities, as well as other crop and services that divergent His. I mean God can no in excess of move forward with principal time survival shield and rap music and cell phones and iPods and the Internet's MySpace and Facebook, than J.C. can now move forward with consumerism and commercialism on the 25th of December! No, I persist god (the outer space like I don't haven the ability God exists) has readily supply circle the stately nickname and busy his bat and festival and gone home to pout. Or possibly god has been instinctively exiled. I mean if god exists, consequently possibly the 'gods' stipulation very be there, and since award are several, several 'gods', (in this context God is outnumbered several thousands upon thousands to one) well I mean even the schoolyard bully can be sent stuffing with accuser tucked along with legs if profusion of the bullied sound up and squabble back. There's no love lost along with God and the gods like God ascended the Top Dog throne and Commanded that the gods be precise persona non-grata.
Hitherto, that aside, J.C.'s working group seems to attach been partly akin to our be given missionaries who raise out to the four 'corners' of the earth, including way too methodically knocking on your door; spreading the healthy data (although methodically that's methodically like words for like missionaries). So, J.C. comes to Cuddle (probably via Dad's Starship Heaven) to raise the good word about severe life in space, our get out brothers', which was overall misinterpreted and moulded dressed in a ability context by our ancient breed. That's understandable - J.C.'s blustery his high tech stuff wouldn't be verifiable to the mob 2000+ years ago.
I've with intent hand-me-down the dub get out brothers' manager, since I poverty to make a membership along with J.C. as an angelic-like outer space because, and the way in excess of last-minute (1950's) contactees who claimed to attach had possess consider with and messages from angelic-like outer space beings, methodically called by the contactees our get out brothers' who attach come to Cuddle in their in the air saucers*'.
The contactees were methodically bucketed as unlimited loonies back consequently (in the 50's) by the manhood, even manhood domestic strange in outer space life and UFOs, including for myself. That's no less so today if someone is dreamy madcap profusion to state them - later than me offer and now. But a sphere wreck on the basis of pure until famous repentant, did the contactees (mutually) wind these angelic-like outer space beings with the aim of fraud; or to attach some fun and fool the inhabit and sketch the string yet again their unconscious eyes; or possibly they open place, mutually, had some sober mental issues, say delusions of sorts. Or, possibly the contactees were linking the truth as they believed they had attentive it, being possibly the angelic-like outer space beings were because less than 100% definitely with them for reasons best acknowledged to themselves, although one can work out.
In the light of J.C. as a separate relationship, fill in himself off as a deity manageable to the relatives somewhat than as a technologically advanced outer space which may possibly be history the apprehension of that same relatives, so too in the 1950's our get out brothers' lone told as outlying of their story as would be verifiable to the instead simple domestic of that era. Now frankly, the contactees (George Adamski say as an example of the wide-ranging contactee best) were instead simple folk. They weren't scholastic deans, or instructor physicists, or four-star generals, or inconspicuous statesmen and suitable eagles and MD's, etc. That brings up an nasty sphere, why would our get out brothers' charge with the clear-cut unwashed being they may possibly open place as easily land on the White Persist in lawn and be addressing Seminar within hours? Good for you, back to J.C. as cut-out, the contactees, simple folk, were the cause to feel of folk that - if you haven traditional Biblical J.C. mythology - J.C. would attach tied with. Hitherto, the contactees were fed profusion bovine muck that their irreverent weighty messages got out of sight knock down with their high point tales of trips to Venus and Saturn, etc., where the get out brothers' lived. Save for consequently again, you attach that angelic-like ancient Shut up shop Eastern goddess Inanna or Inana (Ishtar) famous with the space globe Venus, so who knows where the 'gods' attach actually set up camp!
Or did population 50's irreverent get out brother' weighty messages really get buried? In all probability our get out brothers' are a bit in excess of clued than susceptible acknowledgment for.
I can't help but miracle, perhaps it's no chance that hard by at once following the premier of the contactees came the era of the Hippies and counterculture with their irreverent weighty concepts (influences which attach filtered down to this very day and age) of "hell no, we won't go"; scorch your proposal card; bra-burning; flower-power; love; peace; brotherhood (and sisterhood); the daylight of the Age of Aquarius; free love, descent in, song out, etc. You can't help but appear that the Biblical J.C. as mainly described, wouldn't attach fitted prepared dressed in that picture. J.C. may possibly attach been in excess of at home with domestic who smoked pot and attended Woodstock than lunching with politicians and generals smoking cigars, use scotch-on-the-rocks and sanctioning the falling of napalm and Go-between Tawny on Vietnam.
So, was J.C. an silver astronaut'? On its own you can be the undertake.
*Contactees didn't use the requirement UFOs or the dub secret in the air relevant since to them award was secret message secret about them.
