As stated earlier, here are some of my reactions to this Message. First among those reactions is:
"our Space Brothers are back!"
.
The narrative of this "Message" is basically the same as what was contained in previous iterations of the story line:
.
"Your planet and your ecosystem are on the brink of disaster. Your governments have been infiltrated by evil aliens who aim to enslave you. We are here to help; we will do so when the time is right."
.
This theme gained some popularity during the days of my youth. It arose in the wake of disappointments that developed when the "peace, love, and understanding" advocated by the Hippie movement did not take root. The original Space Brothers date back to the early days of the UFO movement during the late 1940's and early 1950's.
.
After this, I experience cautionary responses from my past that are rooted in warnings of Biblical prophesy. Concerning the end times, spiritual beings, angels and demons, are slated to appear on earth in order to deceive those whose faith is not strongly rooted in Christian theology and spiritual enlightenment. There are also at least two television shows being aired this season that have angels interacting with human societies.
.
As I read through this material, parts of me take note of various concepts and points being made that are rooted in Theosophy, Buddhism, contemporary holistic philosophy, Star Trek, Babylon 5, "The Day the Earth Stood Still," and most of the tales associated with UFO's, alien encounters and abductions, and the associations between off-world entities and a shadow government that controls the USA and operates fleets of interplanetary antigravity spacecraft in support of human colonies on Mars and our Moon.
.
In many ways this reads like a compilation of esotericism. Then again, it reads like an old fashioned chain letter.
These were popular back before personal computers and the internet became so prevalent. Each letter promised some benefit for those who followed the instructions, and a warning for those who failed to follow the instructions. Each relied upon the recipient passing copies of the chain letter along to several people they knew. This message follows the same pattern.
.
I suppose I've had other reactions I can't recall at this time. That seems enough to illustrate my point.
.
My point is, after going through these reactions I bump into a dilemma: "What if this is real? What if there are invisible being who are prepared to appear and straighten our messes out for us?" Or, as indicated in this Message, beings willing to provide us with a way of getting rid of the negative forces working against us so that we can begin implementing solutions to solve the very real problems we face on our planet.
.
In the midst of all the improbable factors recounted above, there is a part of me that resonates with the crux of the matter described therein, a hope or a wish that this would turn out to be true, and that it becomes a reality.
.
Back at the turn of the century, the turn of the millennium, many people awaited the end of the world. Again in 2012 expectations ran high in light of the predictions based on the abrupt end of the Mayan calendar corresponding with that year. There is another calendar to consider, the Indian cycle of the great year. Indian mystics point out that we are at the turning point of that cycle, when the light is due to return after a descent into darkness that has lasted for something like the last 12,000 years.
