I forgot about this book a long time ago but when o was a kid it used to haunt me. The idea that humans were spawn by aliens is as old as the idea of extra terrestrial life. I actually believe that it can exist life outside this blue planet of ours but i never saw any interaction that was told or photographed or recorded in video and so on that convinced me it is real. The book in other hand talks about stuff that i can believe and some ideas that i can relate with like the design and the engineering Mayas had a long ago and egyptians even earlier. What amazes me though is the belief people have in extra terrestrials these days. I talk to many friends that like some of you believe aliens are living among us for a long time and they are helping us to evolve. Others believe totally in abductions and contacts. Again nothing against that but in my opinion the world got to clever. There’s not much room for god and religion in many people’s minds. The only reality accepted is the material one. I think believing in Aliens and the idea they could be our spawners have to do with the necessity to create gods. Maybe mayas did those giant monuments to adore alien gods that didn’t ever appeared in this planet. Maybe they did meet people from other planets that visited us and for some reason are not here anymore. Maybe just like a lot of people i know today they were searching for explanations. It could be their version of our science fiction even so it’s the more believable theories of extra terrestrial live i found in all my reading. What is important in all this is that people are still looking for answers and all the technology available didn’t quiet their hunger. This is a big relief for me because that hunger is the wheel that pushes our species forward. We are still young after all.
We are very young compared to what? The earth itself? Yes we are if you can believe the dating methods and all the guessing. I always wondered how the ancient people managed to flatten a whole mountain top and leave no debris? What did they use those runway looking lines for? Giant pictographs that can only be observed from the sky? How did they manipulate those huge stones that most of our best equipment would have trouble with today. There is something in all this. And as always the question is, What?
I have the same questions… and for sure that’s my closest relation with extra terrestrial life. Thanks for the comment!
Sounds just like the fourth Indiana jones movie…
Wow…That bad??? I hated that movie…
An interesting topic especially for the restless minds…
Presumably ,most people share the same spiritual anxieties and universe concerns with you,while wondering if we really know the plain truth. Do we know the major breakthroughs and the achievements of the scientists and researchers? That’s a big question mark, I am afraid.
Personally, I reckon that the information we get is under control for some reason.
Yes… its an interesting topic for the restless mind indeed… Thanks!!
I agree that we are always searching for explanations that we can mentally process and accept… Lately we have witnessed so much “growth” with technology (advancement…)… so much changes, and it can be so hard to understand. I think a lot of our changing what we believe in has to do with our needing something we can verify, in one way or another…
Sure… humans need more and more to verify and that’s the opposite from what any religion proposes. Faith. You don’t verify if you believe.
Wow, i forgot about that book too, basically until reading your post reminded me of it. I love the idea that it was their version of science fiction.
I loved the book when i was a child. I guess if someone asked me what did i want to be as an adult i would say “Carl Sagan”
