ah interesting. I've had my encounters with what some might call "deities" & spirits and what some would call et-spirits. I think maybe a lot of us tend to focus on ET's because we know that the recognition as a global consciousness of extra terrestrials is a vital link through time in relation to our purely 3 Dimensional perception as a society. What the hell does that mean? Well, atomic power was one step for us as a species, apparently one of the next steps is the understanding of time. Luckily for us we can use our dreams to naturally do this more in balance with nature as a opposed to massive arch welders Mcguyvered onto a

But I agree, spiritual encounters are just as important, but PC is always a whistle blower site, I guess that's why they have stories by people like Leo Swagmi too. He talks about these "astral entities" as well as others. Maybe we can start another thread on spiritual contact stories via dreams...
