- Where do these people come from?
- I am now 37 years old, have seen a lot of things etc and consider myself
- pretty open about other peoples ideas and beliefs. But I am still quite
- fascinated by these guy who talk about "watch out for the cigar-shaped
- ufo's...my guru says they are the bad guys" and "all the little plants
- and things have caretakers you cant see" and "Sure, I can levitate, but
- you arent allowed to watch (unless you are willing to pay $$$ to take
- lessons etc)"...You know, life if pretty interesting and confusing too..
- On the one hand you have UFO's, then there's ghosts and demons, black
- holes and all manner of the inexplicable (Nixon's missing 9 minutes of
- taped conversations included).... Some deadhead once tried to convince
- me that trees talk to you when you sleep under them at night... No wonder
- so many people cant make decisions about religion and truth and justice
- etc.. God just cluttered up the works so bad with all these distractions
- that have nothing to do with each other that normal even-tempered level
- headed free thinkers cant even say for sure whats real and what isnt..
- For example, although I have never experienced what this guy has seen
- or done, I wont say that its not true.. but come on, if there are people
- inside Mount Shasta giving directions to some other voodoo priestess
- and this info is privvy to only those who want to listen, or have paid
- enough $$$ to some guru etc, and if this information is supposed to be
- for the good of humanity, dont you think its a little bit more clandestine
- than it ought to be? I mean why dont these entities and powers just
- fly around and wave the stars and stripes apple pie... why does all this
- stuff have to be so secret? And I'm not just talking about these
- followers of gurus who claim to know it all etc... Theres bigfoot too..
- Why with ghosts, gurus, ufo's, lochness, and Elvis, someone throws in
- a Bigfoot...
-
- Oh well, as interesting as that kind of stuff is to read, It is still
- really really hard to believe for sure any of it....
-
- All of you other folks to who talk to trees and men in mountains,
- please dont be discouraged from writing though, It is quite entertaining.
-
- All views are my own, I am only responsible for my own opinions,
- I didnt write this, no one saw me, you cant prove it.
