Dark, handsome, celibate Nikola Tesla
It is fascinating that there are extraterrestrial beings who care enough to look over at Earth from above and send psychic messages to those sensitive enough to pick up on them. Foremost of these was the great inventor Nikolai Tesla, who thanks to his mother had the latent ability to pick up such messages.
Through that family DNA lineage, he was sensitive to it. Beings from Venus or those living on a nearby planet, concerned that all of Earth's problems might be due to not knowing about free-energy (which we do know about but is not made public because of the disastrous effects it would have on our corporate economic system that sells polluting fuels and electric technology and keeps all the perpetual motion and free energy machines seeking patents in a locked vault so that claims can be made but no officially authorized proof).
Maria Orsic (Orsitch)
They reasoned that if they could make contact with one or more earthlings and showed how easy it was, all the problems here would end: war, famine, inequality... Tesla's main dream was establishing a Wi-Fi worldwide network of free electricity. Electrons are now sent around from main generation plants with a great deal of resistance. Whether AC or DC, there is degradation in the signal and loss of energy dissipating as heat or other forms before reaching city centers and "consumers." Tesla envisioned towers electrifying the ether or air (akasha) so that everyone could tap in. That was of no interest to capitalist backers suggesting they would provide the funding. The CIA undermined Tesla then took his revelations to find military applications to his discoveries. Where does that leave us? Right where we are, poor, full of war, and unequal.
What evidence is there that the Nazis ever got one of their schemes to fly?
Sumerians arrived here and then went back.
But at around the same time, there was a better but less well-known case of the same thing happening. Austrian Oracle Maria Orsic and her Vril Society or Gesellschaft of beautiful women (possibly an unearthly beauty) used their psychic powers to make contact with Aldebaran, a distant star system. ET beings there, communicating in an ancient defunct language, sent Orsic information (full blueprints) on how to build a UFO (vimana, "spaceship").
The society did not understand what the information was, but they made contact with Nazis in Germany, approaching a Gestapo member or similar high ups. The German officials, almost certainly not taking these supermodels seriously nevertheless wanted to talk to them, humor them, and keep them around.
So a Nazi officer at the restaurant/club took the blueprints and showed them to a professor (a linguist) at another table, who not only recognized them but felt he was the only one who could appreciate what he was being shown because he was an expert in the language they were in, at least a related language. What they were written in, which if memory serves was Middle Sumerian, was not available.
So the professor was desperate to know what museum or archeological site the Nazis had plundered to find such a treasure. The officer explained that that beautiful girl over there had written it. This, of course, was impossible. Even an academic (and this academic regarded himself as foremost in this field of study) could not have forged these, so rare was an understanding of this language, much less an untrained layperson. He was introduced, and Maria Orsic explained that she indeed had produced them but not by knowing what they were.
Rather, she had done so by channeling, explaining that her extraordinarily long hair for the time when a kind of bob was all the rage, had served as an antenna. Members of the Vril Society all had very, very long hair (though one photo shows one beauty caving in and adopting a fashionable bob). The Nazi officer cut to the chase and asked, given that it was a blueprint, was there enough information on it to build what it was. The academic said yes, and this launched the Nazis advantage and ability to win WW II.
Psychic goes cosmic with ETs
Of course, we are all taught that Hitler and the Nazis lost, but they won. They avoided prosecution, were allowed free passage out to Neuschwabenland (New Swabia, Antarctica) and Argentina, with a lot of migration to the Americas, not only the U.S. but a big pocket to Jalisco, Mexico. So many German descendants were already in the U.S. that it is said that it was not a given that this would be an English-speaking new country following the genocide of the Native population.
Did Hitler have secret help?
We might have been German-speaking. Whatever Germany is said to have given up or endured post-WWII, they are now and have for a long time been a financial powerhouse in Europe and the world. The arrangement for the transfer of power and agreements with ETs to the U.S. (NASA, CIA, and other post-Nazi or Neo-Nazi organizations in the U.S.) military-industrial complex was a successful transition.
Many Nazi scientists guilty of war crimes were brought over, protected from prosecution, and set up to help. In fact, the justification for this is that many countries were vying for their expertise. Where did missile technology and military superiority come from to aid the Germans?
A more important development than Nazi German UFOs was a UAP called Die Glocke ("The Bell"), which is stable time travel technology. The CIA could not let that fall into other hands. The term UAP is not only a psyop name change. It can actually refer to something fundamentally different than a flying object. USOs are submersibles. This newest invention travels on water, and we already have a similar air-vehicle that travels over level desert land on big fans. There is/was also the mysterious Thule Society, which seems to be the occult male arm of Vril.
Do Austrians remember Maria O?
It was the misuse of ET information, not by Tesla or Orsic but the funders, backers, and officials who were the only ones who could afford to build on an industrial scale. Even if Nazi officials promised the Vril Society that all uses of their channeled information would be peaceful and for the purpose of building a vimana to take them to that distant planet in Aldebaran, the technology was abused. The Vril Society took the journey and were seen no more. Edison was boosted, but Tesla (whose intuited information was so much more valuable) was largely forgotten until recently, even though he now channels from beyond and no one is paying overt attention to his newest revelations.
Tesla being channeled today
The Discovery Channel or similar older network once showed a man who built his own flying disk based on antigravity technology, which is easy to produce by counter-rotating magnets to produce lift. The prototype, a smaller scale proof of principle model, flew away. He was now working on a larger version if he could figure out how to steer it.
Another man built a super-vehicle based on the natural technology under scarab wings that allows the bumblebee-like bugs to fly and float with wings that seem to small for their bodies. A man recently "flew" a magic carpet for all to see by leaping off a cliff with a parachute. He glided down for a great distance, which shows up the fact that we do not know how ordinary flight works, yet it does. If it were "lift" on the wings, then how does a twin-engine Cessna flip over midflight to fly upside down at air shows?

The moon makes its own light, and that light is not a reflection of the sun. Across the plane of this massive platform, there are concentric circles. We live in one of those, separated from the others and their inhabitants. Each of these circular worlds has its own sun and moon.

A Buddhist "Genesis" (Agganna Sutta) discusses the beginnings of life on this planet this time around, given that the universe and its herstory/history are cyclical. In the beginning, flying-beings (akasha devas) with light bodies descended onto this and other planets to enjoy tangible, sensual pleasures. Over time, those beings devolved. That is what happened. We are still in a state of devolution (while some spiritually evolve and others deteriorate through countless rebirths wandering through samsara in search of pleasure, satisfaction, and fulfillment) on this planet as we hurl toward destruction and chaos and eventual coherence, resurgence, and another Golden Age. Even then the cycle will repeat, more a spiral than a circle, revolving, the same but different, ad nauseum.
A Buddhist "Genesis"
THE AGGAÑÑA-SUTRA translated by Albert J. Edmunds (via The Monist,sacred-texts.com) edited by Dhr. Seven, Crystal Quintero, Amber Larson, CC Liu, Wisdom Quarterly
I'm going to say I created this world and everything upon it and smite those who disagree.
THE DIALOGUE PRIMEVAL
O, Vâse.t.thâ [1].
[Note 1: The plural name of two Brahmin disciples to whom the Buddha addresses this discourse, hereafter omitted as it occurs in every paragraph.]
O, the beautiful radiant beings of yore!
There is a season, at
vast intervals in the lapse of time [maha kalpas, "great aeons"], when this world is dissolved; and
upon the world's dissolution, the inhabitants are mostly brought
together in the heaven [space or joyful realm] of the Radiant [Ābhāsvara Devas], and there they dwell for a long, long period, mind-made,
feeders on joy, self-resplendent, traversing the sky, and abiding in
goodness.
Again, there is a season, at vast intervals in the lapse of time,
when this world is re-evolved; and upon the world's evolution, people
disappear from the host [ranks, armies, columns] of the Radiant and come down hither [2].
[2: A corrupt change in the Prâkrit of the Pâli words itthatta~m âgacchanti into iccha-svam-âgacchanti
has given rise to the idea, in the Mahâvastu, that they go whither they
please. Then a gloss adds that this is always the rule: they always go
whither they desire.]
And they are mind-made, feeders on joy, self-resplendent, traversing
the sky, and abiding in goodness. [And so] do they dwell for a long,
long period.
As luminous beings, we make our own light.
Now at that season there is gloom and darkness universally: moon
and sun are known not; stars and constellations are not known; nor night
and day, nor month and fortnight [half-month], nor seasons of the year. Women and
men are known not, but people say: "Sentient beings only are
considered" [3].
[3: The word rendered "inhabitants," "people," and "sentient beings" is the same in the Pâli language.]
Now for those beings there arises, after a vast interval in the
lapse of time, a savory earth [solid] everywhere upon the water. Even as the
tree of paradise on high is to a self-restrained one who is reaching
Nirvâna, such does it appear. It was endowed with color, scent, and
savor like unto ghee and butter: such was its color.
And even as a
little honey undefiled, such was its taste. Then some luxurious person
saying, "Oh! What can this be?" tasted with [its] finger the savory earth,
and as soon as [it] had done so, craving [4]
therefor became clothed and entered in.
[4: Craving (tanha), literally "thirst," a technical term in Buddhist
metaphysics for the will to have continued existence as well as the thirst for pleasant experiences which necessitates a sense of illusory personal
or separate existence, that is, an existence separate from the phenomenal, impermanent, unsatisfactory components of existence and clinging, the Five Aggregates.]
Others also, following the
example of that being, tasted the savory earth with a finger. When they
had done so, craving became clothed and entered in.
Then people approached the luxurious savory earth, to partake of
it with their hands, and forthwith their [luminous] self-radiance disappeared. When
their self-radiance was gone, the moon and sun were manifested, and with them the stars and constellations. With these again came night
and day, and with night and day the months and the fortnights, and with
the last the seasons of the year. Thus was this world again evolved.
Racism/Castes
With contacts, I'm prettier than that smoker.
Now people remained a long, long time enjoying the savory earth
for their food and support; and so long as they did thus, mere
coarseness entered into their bodies and differences of caste [5] arose.
[5: The word caste is simply color or complexion.]
I love the lovely ones and hate the hateful, ugh.
Some people were beautiful and others were ugly. Then those who were
beautiful despised the ugly ones and said: "We are handsomer than these;
they are uglier than we." And by reason of their conceit of color the
savory earth disappeared among those born with pride and conceit.
When
the savory earth had vanished, they met together and lamented, saying:
"Oh, the savor! oh, the savor!" Even now, when [humans] have taken some
surpassing [6] dainty [eaten some tasty dessert like Angel Food cake] they say the same: "Oh,
the savor! Oh, the savor!" In this they imitate exactly the ancient
primeval [people], but know not the meaning thereof.
[6. The word "surpassing" is literally divine or angelic (from the Pali and Sanskrit deva]. As in the Old Testament, this word is used to mean great or fine, i.e., fit for the gods, such as Theobroma cacao, "the food of the gods," aka chocolate.]
After the savory earth had disappeared, there sprang up for those
people a fine kind of moss. It was somewhat like a mushroom, and in
color, scent, and savor was like unto ghee [creme de la creme] or butter [the off-white fat of milk]. And even as a
little honey undefiled, such was its taste.
Then, as before, they ate the fine moss and lived a long time thereon,
while coarseness entered still more into their bodies, and differences
of caste [complexion] arose. Also, as before, the beautiful despised the ugly,
whereupon the fine moss disappeared.
When it was gone, a sweet creeper
sprang up, which was somewhat like the cadamba [flower], and in color, scent,
savor, and taste, as the other foods before. The same experience was
repeated, and the sweet creeper vanished away.
Then they met together
and lamented, saying: "Alas for us! Alas! the sweet creeper has failed
us!" Even now, when
[people] are touched by some divine catastrophe, they say the same: "Alas for
us! Alas, it has failed us!" They recall the very letter of the ancient
primeval [people], but know not the meaning thereof.
Now, when the sweet creeper had gone from those people, a delicate
rice appeared, without coating or husk, pure, sweet-scented, and with
the fruit already winnowed. They fetched food at evening for supper, and
in the morning it was ripe and grown again. They fetched food in the
morning for breakfast, and at evening it was ripe and grown again. It
was not known to fail.
Then the people lived a long, long time, enjoying
the delicate rice for their food and support; and so long as they did
thus, mere coarseness entered more and more into their bodies and
differences of caste arose.
[Eve and Adam]
Hey, try this kadamba, the sweet creeper flower. It's delish' and divine!
Ah, carrot top, let's go to the house I built.
Then the organ of womanhood appeared in the [first] woman and the organ of
manhood in the [first] man. And the woman offered to the man strong drink in
excess, and the man unto the woman. And as they did so, passion arose,
and suffering entered into their bodies.
By reason of the suffering they
indulged in the act of sex. Then, when people saw them in those days,
indulging thus, some threw dust and others ashes, and others cow-dung,
saying: "Perish, vile wench! Perish, vile wench!" And again: "How can
one being do such a thing unto another?"
Even now, in some country
places, when a murderess is being executed, some people throw dust,
others ashes, and others cow-dung [7].
[7: The Sanskrit here reads: "Monastics, just as now, when a maiden is being married, they throw a stick or a clod," etc. This is doubtless the true sense, and the Pâli language version is probably corrupt.]
They recall the very letter of the ancient primeval people, but know not the meaning thereof.
O, Vâse.t.thâ! That was an impious practice [fornication] in those days, but now
it is [regarded as] a pious one [called procreation]. People who, in those days, indulged in the act of
sex, were not allowed to return to town or village for two months and three.
When those people had fallen into exceeding mischief in that impiety,
they began to make houses, in order to hide the impiety. Then it
occurred to some idle person: "Why should I be troubled to bring rice at
evening for supper and at morning for breakfast? Suppose I now bring it
only once every evening for breakfast." He accordingly did so, and then some one approached him and said:
"Come, fellow-being! let us go and bring some rice."
"Enough, O fellow-being! I only fetch rice once every evening for breakfast."
Thereupon that other, following his example, said: "It would be
good indeed to bring the rice only once in two days." Just then some one
else approached that person and asked him likewise to go for rice, and
he gave the same answer as the first, whereupon the other, following his
example, said:
"It would be good indeed to bring the rice only once in
four days." When another person invited the last one to bring some, he
was told about the four-day plan, and forthwith suggested once in eight
days as enough.
So soon as those people began to eat stored-up rice,
then was the grain enveloped by the red coating and the husk; no harvest
was reaped; failure ensued, and there were groves on groves of standing
rice.
Then the people met together and lamented, saying: "Alas! [Harmful] things have appeared among beings; for of yore we were mind-made,
feeders on joy, self-radiant, traversing the sky and abiding in
goodness, and so did we long remain. Then, after a vast period, arose
the savory earth upon the water, and we ate thereof and lost our
splendor, till moon and sun came forth, and stars and starry forms.... More

This is an impressive, intelligent, informative, and enjoyable investigation from Hollywood legend, SNL alumnus, and official celebrity spokesman and lifetime member of MUFON.

Vimanas: the real antigravity vehicles of ancient India
The Ancient Aliens Wisdom Quarterly (COMMENTARY) So much of what the world's religions and mythologies are centered around is real. The mythologizing -- attempts to make it comprehensible to the people of the time who do not share language and concepts with future generations like us -- reduces these stories to very doubtful tales. However, subsequent findings reveal how advanced the knowledge was.
Our own investigations show that Buddhism -- like Vedic Brahminical, Sumerian, Mesoamerican, Zoroastrian, and the Greek and Judeo-Christian roots of Western civilization -- corroborate many of the ancient stories. But Buddhism sheds light and explains otherwise indecipherable accounts of "angels" and "gods" and "demons" fighting on Earth and in the "heavens" (space).
Tibetan Buddhists, Mayans, and Biblical sources all speak of contact with space aliens
The fact of the matter is that these mythical creatures were extraterrestrials of many different kinds. Our recent work has tried to show that Christianity is little more than an amalgam of Near Eastern faiths, records, and beliefs that were passed down long before even Judaism was established. The Zen like aphorisms of St. Issa (Jesus) woven into the New Testament serve to make Jesus Christ the all-in-one god for everyone, but he is completely a constructed and artificial figure.
There was likely a person who left Palestine, traveled to India, studied Mahayana/Tibetan Buddhism, returned to uplift Jewish and other peoples in the region, was persecuted, and returned to India, where his remains are entombed in Kashmir. Those people in the region of Alexandria, Egypt and the Dead Sea were, by their own historical accounts, in contact with aliens in the form of messengers (angels/gandharvas), titans (asuras), space-dwelling devas (light beings), invaders (serpents/nagas), and demigods (crossbred human-alien "men of renown").
We understand that this comes as a shock since Buddhism, which is nontheistic, is presumed to have nothing to do with such things. These are not "gods," although they are labelled as such. There are advanced civilizations, higher order beings. The universe is populated with countless such worlds. The Buddha and others were aware of it. The brahmins (priestly caste) and kshatriya's (ruling caste) were in contact with them. The "divine" right of rule was handed down, or at least claimed, in quite a literal way.
It's a different way to read the Bible, but it sheds light on so many otherwise silly myths and averts many preposterous conclusions. A much richer source of these histories and legends are the ancient Indian Vedas (particularly the Vimana Shastra, which details spacecraft and advanced technology shared with humans thousands of years ago. Christians think Biblical references were to "mansions" in the sky when in fact the reference is to ports, platforms, and enormous flying crafts.
While the latest New York City sighting may indeed be nothing more than balloons, people foolishly conclude that all sightings also have mundane explanations. Why? It is because we categorically refuse to open up to the possibility that there could be any such thing as alien visitations or past extraterrestrial contact.
"If it were true, the government could never keep it secret." So here are more leaks.
History, mythology, and spiritual cosmologies across cultures the world over attest to the reality of extraterrestrial contact. Visitations have been happening for millennia. Spiritual (non-physical) contact is always available. Not all aliens visit to help or protect, but some do. Governments attempt to shoot down spacecraft from the closest realm (the Catumaharajika space sphere in Buddhist cosmology) to reverse-engineer alien technology. Fortunately, there are higher order intelligences (devas) attempting to help, shield, and cultivate humanity.
But there are also threats to it in league with some governments since at least the time of Sumeria and the ancient Vedas that left detailed, unambiguous written records of what was going on on the this planet, the origins of modern humans, and life in other worlds. All this being the case, it is nevertheless true that to speak of these things or seriously entertain even the possibility brands one "mentally unstable" as does any serious discussion of gods, meditative states, or paranormal phenomena -- regardless of how much legitimate testimony or empirical evidence there is for it.
Wisdom Quarterly makes no apology for investigating and providing a platform for the investigation of the evidence. While the Judeo-Christian Bible is also full of such evidence, Judeo-Christian American culture is content to dismiss that evidence as inconsistent with a "quiet and peaceful life" in the Matrix. The Buddha did not limit himself to talking about this planet. He spoke of the entire "world system," which included many other worlds in space.
No one said the search for truth was a comfortable or stress-free endeavor. We are a species adapted for hypnotic sleep ignoring what is happening around us. That may be good for serenity's sake, but insight, understanding, and liberation require that we one day take notice of reality just as it is. The purpose of the Dharma is to awaken (enlighten) us. Its purpose is not to make us passive and accepting of what greedy, angry, and deluded governments, individuals, and other degenerate-entities (e.g., maras, nagas, asuras, yakkhas, some lowly devas) may wish to do on this planet.
No government is good or bad except that the people allow for it to be so. Governments can of course provide for the public good. Yet, they have always been examples of great deception, corruption, secrets, unquenchable thirst for power and influence. They are all too often willing to engage in continuous war and strife. We are the government. So should we accept that or examine it in ourselves?
(We are not really "the government." But if we say that to ourselves and promote the myth that we freely elect leaders who govern us -- and say that there is no shadow government tied to business-interests pulling the levers of power by manipulating polls, candidates, and elections -- then let's behave like intelligent actors. Let's fulfill our responsibility to be informed and to see to it that things are done in a manner consistent with our ethics).
