Have religious movements been infiltrated by the alien intervention?

[S-L]

How much have spiritual/religious movements been influenced by our Alien "visitors"? If one views the visitations as an intervention rather than a friendly visit, then this should be at the forefront of everyone's thinking. If you wanted to influence a society, getting a hold on religious institutions would be a priority. Ask the illuminati.

I have a striking example I'd like to share with the community. The purpose is not to single any one faith out. Rather, I'm interested in how one might detect this sort of interference. I'm looking forward to the exchange of ideas and opinions on this matter.

There is a Thai buddhist movement (some have called it a cult, but I feel there's no need to use that inflammatory depiction) called Dhammakaya that I feel might a prime suspect. Their main religious building... is a giant golden UFO... They are obsessed with "mass events", well choreographed public displays that reinforce top-down order, a collective consciousness run from the top down rather than individual creativity from the bottom up. I feel this is the sort of religion that would benefit our visitors.

A good overview is found here (http://www.foreignpolicy.com/articles/2011/01/20/close_encounters_of_the_buddhist_kind).

Unfortunately you are cherry picking to back up your arguments.
Yes, I agree that religions are infiltrated, this is the whole purpose of Albert Pike.
He and the Illuminati want people to worship, "The Bringer of Light"...Satan.

However, you are misrepresenting Dharmakaya.
Dharmakaya translates as the pure empty essence of our being.

[S-L]

Perhaps I am misrepresenting Dharmakaya - the post itself is less about that particular organization, and more about the general possibility that religious and spiritual organizations might be manipulated by our visitors from above, not just by the Illuminati. I like Dharmakaya as an example because I feel their particular brand of mass spectacles - the enormous energy and resources put into these displays - are precisely what the visitors would favour. It promotes a collective consciousness, a mass sameness - every adherent a brick in their UFO-shaped pyramid... Dharmakaya is no exception in this organizational structure, but one must give them a nod for their gusto in embracing these collective spectacles!

What are the other qualities and spiritual ideals that our alien intervention might want to propagate? What would be in their interest? How can we discern them? I'm more interested in these issues, rather than singling out any particular faith or practice.

Well I think this questions is..Has religion been infiltrated by ETS?
I'd say since mankind walked the earth..all known written history their gods are ETs.. Think Sumerians for example. The Aztecs worshiped an ET type being..so this is nothing new..been going on since the dawn of man!
Modern age..i feel religion is a control tool. And i think very possible the men behind the curtain could in fact be Extra Dimensional Beings..communicating via other dimensions.

[Apex]

I think Organized religion was the invention of the ET's. They took Spirituality and hid the Source behind some God and set up a pyramid like structure.

Both Apex and Bestlion are correct. There are quite a # of well developed threads here on Avalon that discuss this very issue, albeit a bit more obliquely and as an aside to other issues, such as the origins of certain ethnic groups (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?20586-Has-white-man-colonised-planet-Earth&highlight=white+man+colonized+earth) or genetic manipulation (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?36187-David-Icke-is-Right-about-the-Reptiles&highlight=annunaki+genetic+manipulation) or out of body experiences (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?21614-Parasitic-Non-Organic-Multidimensional-Beings&p=231127&highlight=body+experience+anunnaki#post231127) and such things. If you utilize the in-forum search engine you'll find more than I've already linked, already in progress and with quite a lot of information and resources for those newly seeking conversation in regards to such questions and their myriad answers. Regards.

"you are misrepresenting Dharmakaya. Dharmakaya translates as the pure empty essence of our being" Pie'n'eal

Thankyou for the translation although I'm struggling to discover the application of it's meaning within this movement.

The Dhammakaya movement has been attacked for its unconventional religious teachings, use of mysticism, aggressive fundraising and the cult of personality of its leader. Nevertheless, it continues to woo middle-class, urban Thais, and some might argue those in mainstream religion might learn a trick to two from the movement.
Its 30,000-million-baht religious monument looks like a spaceship. Its leader's urgent appeal for donations to complete the monument in order to save the world sounds like a doomsday cult's message. And scholars have attacked its teachings as a distortion and commercialisation of Buddhism. Nevertheless, the Dhammakaya movement has been hugely successful and well-supported by educated professionals.

pondering on if Mr Dhammakaya really explores the nature of Dukkha with his followers

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dukkha

[Ineffable Hitchhiker]

There´s Dammakaya (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dhammakaya_Movement) and then there´s Dharmakaya (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dharmak%C4%81ya).
Just saying. :)

As for religions being infiltrated...
I have always speculated whether all the "angels", "Krishnas", "prophets" etc. are not simply beings communicating from other dimensions.
And then depending on what social environment, speak cult(ure), the people grew up in, adapted the messages/visions to suit their belief system.
No idea, really. Will have to stick with..."I don´t know". :becky:

I'm beginning to believe that to.

[Lettherebelight]

Interplanetary travel and historical accounts thereof are discussed in the Vedas, particularly the Puranas. So...?

I have heard the theory, however, that Mary was actually visited by an ET...I guess technically speaking, that would be true!

Greetings, Friends!

I recently finished a very compelling read that I'd recommend for those interested in the perspective of one who returned from an extended nde, claiming to have been shown in the process how human religion developed:

http://www.amazon.com/Backwards-Beliefs-Revealing-Eternal-Religions/dp/1934482102

In terms of ET involvement, I'd say that we are all ET, and so yes we are the creators and inspiration of all human religions.

:yo:

i definitely believe that religions have been targeted by the et s. religion in our world is a powerful influence and certainly can be used for manipulation! it seems more apparent in some than in others to me.

Medicines treat varying conditions and have varying side effects on the body. Similarly medicine for the mind (for which meditation is one preparation) has benefits and ill effects.

Looking within the meditation system propagated by the Dhammakaya Foundation.

Robert Mawson highlights the benefits ( put aside-meditational competition "you experienced something better than me" and the final statement of reaching for the sky) take note of the practitioners good quality of determination.

Exploring further into the founding father's view
kOcnd2JrNm0

It is at the 4minute mark when the documentary says of Luang Pu Wa, when in deep meditation, "notable in the that his discovery was a presidency in that it had never been touched upon by his contemporaries or in manuals of practise"
Wow! overiding the Sangha and beyond that of the Tripitaka! It is at this point concerns, or gongs-pardon the pun might, reverberate. Put aside alarmist cult leadership headlines and explore the practise because as we have seen in Robert Mawson benefits.

With a settled mind the practitioners aim seems to be a visualisation at the navel. Then they explore the phenomena that arises. The benefits as again highlighted by Mr Mawson seem wonderful and no doubt their must be tempting benefits to get people of those beautiful beaches (in thailand) or out from the shopping mall!

Navel Meditation=Solar Plexus Chakra=self-esteem, self-confidence, self-respect, strong will and empowerment.

These characteristics are primary qualities of successful professions.

If we look again at Mr Mawson (professional determination and need to be strong) and those Thai professionals where a high self esteem and self confidence is essential. They are naturally drawn to something that will and does help. Unfortunately on the excessive side as we see glimpses of in Mr Laung Pu Wa, the " I" is reconfirmed to such a scale that he is beyond that of the Buddha and that the only limit is the sky or is it?????

Universal beings (ET's) have never infiltrated or targeted religions. they created religions through the stupidity of man believing they were Gods. And ET's Ego because they liked the status that man made them Gods.

Buddhism is not a religion but a way of life.
To many, Buddhism goes beyond religion and is more of a philosophy or 'way of life'. It is a philosophy because philosophy 'means love of wisdom' and the Buddhist path can be summed up as:

(1) to lead a moral life,
(2) to be mindful and aware of thoughts and actions, and
(3) to develop wisdom and understanding.

Domed roofs of Temples, Mosques and cathedrals etc were designed for accustics. The sound resonated better when there are no angles or corners.

So the answer to the titled thread question is No not infiltrated but created by ET's of the Egoistic kind. The angry, jealous God that required sacrifices of the OT is a good example.

Well if the pseudo Christians in name only are the only brand, I'll take ET truth for 2000 Alex.
