(Queen City News) Reptilianhumanoids [called Nāgas in Buddhism and the Dharmic religions, alongside the beautiful devas and fallen asuras], also known as reptoids, are anthropomorphic reptile‑like beings [lizard people] that appear in mythology, folklore, science fiction, and modern conspiracy theories revelations. Expert investigates 82 E.T. species on Earth: We are not alone.
Aug. 18, 2025: Chief Transportation Correspondent MayCay Beeler [stretched by plastic surgery] talks with best-selling author Craig Campobasso about his new book, The Extraterrestrial Species Almanac and his encounters with space aliens.
This is the ultimate field guide to the 82 extraterrestrial species that populate [this part of] the universe.
Author and ET enthusiast Craig Campobasso explores the origins, physical characteristics, technological and consciousness abilities, dimensional capacities, belief systems, and cosmic agendas of each of the species. The species fall into two categories.
What are the Nordic roots of Sydney Sweeney?
There are (1) the benevolent races, which function as the guardians of humanity, whose goals include helping people overcome duality, healing, and protecting. And there are (2) malevolent races, which are responsible for abductions, cloning, and ultimately domination.
This intergalactic exposé entertains all who are interested in UFOs (vimanas), space aliens, inter-dimensionals (spirits, celestials, angels), and ETs. Who else may like it?

(Emrick Garam | Business Coaching for Entrepreneurs) April 6, 2011: tinyurl.com/bv92vyw Been there? Heard of this landmark? This healers' bookstore is a must see in Los Angeles. This famous bookstore is closing! Try to talk about it, to save this jewel of a store, holding events with famous teachers, authors, and speakers. Namaste. Music: "Again" by Secrets in Stereo.
As part of our continuing series "Adventures in Church," we this morning enjoyed a peaceful Sunday service with the Quakers, one of the best forms of Christianity we have ever come to know (which also has a few others worth mentioning: Gnostic, Unitarian Universalist, and Seventh Day Adventist). This morning at the Friends' Meeting in Pasadena, one Friend stood up to remember Bodhi Tree Bookstore Co-Founder Phil Thompson.
(Ronnie Pontiac) PHIL THOMPSON of the Bodhi Tree Bookstore, West Los Angeles, shuffled off the mortal coil yesterday [Halloween 2024]. Many people owe him gratitude. Phil had a high paying job designing weapons of mass destruction for the U.S., but instead he decided to quit it and open a spiritual bookstore. What a magical place the store was! Read about its amazing history below.*
(Wisdom Quarterly) It's hard to overstate the importance of LA's own New Age mecca, Bodhi Tree Books, second in importance only to its namesake, the original treein ancient Proto-India even before the area came to be known as Buddhist Bihar.
There would be no Wisdom Quarterly (which began in print form) without it because so much that was learned and is now shared in these pages was gleaned from one corner of the store that sold Buddhist Publication Society books. (Hundreds of those Bodhi Leaves and Wheel titles are now available FREE from BPS.lk in Kandy, Sri Lanka).
All the other books about other religions in the emporium are out of print or available on storekiller Bezos' venture (amazon.com). We prefer to support independent bookstores like Alexandria II and Vroman's so long as they last. Thompson is survived by his fellow founder and family.
WARNING: It's hard to film a movie, even in West Hollywood, so close to where the movie industry became a worldwide business. This good idea devolves into a violent and sophomoric attempt, funny only for its location and what it may have been trying to say originally. Blood, gore, bad acting.
FILM: Foxfur: Bodhi Tree Bookstore
(Damon Packard) 12/16/11. Set in December of 2012, following the arrival of Foxfur and Khris at the Bodhi Tree Bookstore and following Khris' encounter with the Pleiadian beam ship above the Bodhi Tree. Foxfur disappears and Dewshine appears. Bob Lazar is wandering the aisles, wondering why no one came to his book signing.
Are all Plejarens blond beauties?
Semjase is a real Pleiadean or Plejaren ET, a beautiful Nordic alien, who contacted Billy Meier. He is the founder of a UFO religion called the "Free Community of Interests for the Border and Spiritual Sciences and Ufological Studies" and a contactee whose stacks of UFO photos are claimed to show alien UFO spacecraft (vimanas). Meier claims he is in regular contact with ET beings, which he calls the Plejaren [2]. He further presented metal samples, sound recordings, and film footage as evidence. How is it possible? It is said that Meier claims to be the seventh reincarnation after six prophets common to Christianity, Judaism, and Islam: Enoch, Elijah, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Immanuel (aka Jesus), and Muhammad [3].

*Illuminate Heart and Mind: Bodhi Tree Books
Ronnie Pontiac, via Threads, Nov. 1, 2024, and medium.com, March 8, 2020
How do you know if you're hip?
Like a Tibetan wind horse, for decades the flag of the Bodhi Tree Bookstore rode the breeze above Melrose Avenue in West Hollywood.
At first the freak flag flew to attract only the most underground. Then it became the flag over the capitol of the New Age. Who could count the number...that have known the complementary Bodhi Tree bookmark, with its tree logo, and the slogan: "Books to Illuminate the Heart and Mind"?
At first, run by hippies for hippies, with only a few portraits of spiritual masters on the walls, it seemed like a mirage conspired by a couple of dropouts. Then punk rockers arrived, because at the Bodhi Tree they could find books by William Burroughs, Patti Smith, and Bukowski.
As the New Age grew from a mild trickle to a mighty river, for enthusiasts the Bodhi Tree became not only the top destination in Southern California, but for many, in the United States...
[Co-Founders] Stan Madson and Phil Thompson were a couple of literal rocket scientists, aerospace engineers to be exact. They weren’t the only young people who wanted to do something more positive with their lives at the end of the 1960s.
However, they are among the few who actually did it. They created the Bodhi Tree Bookstore. In an interview with Ray Hemachandra in 2006, Stan talked about the origins of the Bodhi Tree Bookstore. It all began when he attended an event headlined by Timothy Leary:
“Tim Leary was there in a white gown, and he opened by having The Grateful Dead play music. I had never heard of The Grateful Dead. Leary said the idea was to tune in, turn on, and drop out.” But Stan was working in aerospace, he couldn’t take the plunge.
Next came Zen meditation. Then a serendipitous meeting while on a walk in Calabasas led to “a session of private talks with Krishnamurti on an estate in Malibu. So about 30 of us were sitting around talking with Krishnamurti.”
Transcendental meditation followed. “Out of all of this, and sitting around and talking amongst ourselves, we decided that there was something intrinsically wrong with doing aerospace and supporting the practice of thermonuclear war.” Years later, looking back on his life, he expressed his happiness that he had found [Buddhist] “right livelihood.”
Phil and Elsa Thompson and Stan and Fran Madson partnered with Dan and Marj Morris to open the Bodhi Tree Book and Tea Shop. The songs on the radio at the time almost tell its story. The Beatles had broken up. We can be sure “The Long and Winding Road” was playing on the transistor radio when they were hammering together the shelves and painting the walls in the modest Bodhi Tree 1.0.
The Beatles travel to India to meet their guru.
“Let it Be” had been on the radio for a few months already, along with Simon and Garfunkel’s “Bridge Over Troubled Water.” Sly and the Family Stone had a hit with “Everybody is a Star,” a song title to bring a smile to any Platonist, Paracelsian, or Thelemite.
On July 10, 1970, the Bodhi Tree opened. Bodhi Tree’s first Christmas, George Harrison’s “My Sweet Lord” was Number 1. But Janis Joplin had just died that October. Jimi Hendrix had died only a few weeks before Janis. Jim Morrison would die the following summer.
Soon the clean mellow sound of California folk pop, the introspection of James Taylor, Joni Mitchell, and Carole King, ruled the airwaves. People turned inward in search of answers to suddenly pressing questions about the meaning of life, the laws of good health, and the history of human spirituality.
By 1976 the Bodhi Tree’s business had doubled then redoubled and so on so rapidly that they bought the building they had been leasing. The labor of love they themselves didn’t expect to last very long had become a success.
Dan and Marj decided to move on, perhaps because the Bodhi Tree was turning into a demanding business. On the last day of November in 1972, Phil and Elsa along with Stan and Fran formed a corporation called Bodhi Tree Bookstore Incorporated. They dropped the tea shop but always offered free tea for customers to drink and a wide selection of exotic and rare blends, both packaged and bulk, the latter to be scooped out of big glass jars and poured into ever present plastic bags.
In 1978, the small bookcase of used books grew into a stucco cottage next door that became Bodhi Tree Used Book Branch. It had a few shelves on the porch outside the old wooden door offering free books at any hour.
When shoppers entered, they breathed in the aromatic delights of the bulk herb room. Shelves of big mason jars filled with dried lavender, rose petals, licorice root, eyebright, star anise, chamomile, eucalyptus leaves, teas, and of course catnip. More:

We call BS on "OSIRIS-REx (Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification, Security, Regolith Explorer) is a NASA (NAZIesque "Never A Straight Answer" organization) asteroid-study and sample-return mission.
We are supposed to believe that it just completed a miraculous primary mission of visiting an asteroid hurtling through the vacuum of empty space and collecting ground samples from 101955 Bennu, a carbonaceous near-Earth asteroid [12]?
The [coffee grounds worth of] material, allegedly returned on Sept. 24, 2023 [13], is expected to enable scientists on Earth to learn more about the formation and evolution of the Solar System, its initial stages of planet formation, and the source of organic compounds that led to the formation of life on Earth [14], because many different extraterrestrials could surely not have been involved in coming to this rock and setting things in motion or checking back in from time to time, mining gold and rare earth minerals, taking wives, leaving DNA, and whisking off to other projects in the galaxy.
Buddhism's Genesis account (the Agganna Sutta or "Discourse on Origins") suggests life began on Earth an incredibly long time ago, not naturally originating out of an organic broth in a soupy sea of carbon elements and amino acids necessary for life as we know it, by virtue of radiant space beings landing here, liking the sensual experience of things, and degrading -- devolving by devolution -- over the aeons (kalpas). It says nothing of "life" itself originating here. It's everywhere in the ten thousand directions of the universe (portion of the bubble like multiverse), inconceivably old, cyclical, expanding and contracting, chaotic and organized, not beginning but continuing. Those beings who alighted on this plane, because earth is described as a plane of concentric circle divided by insurmountable heights with different types of being currently inhabiting it, each group under their own sun and moon, with their own customs, appearances, lifespans, cultures, and habits, meeting by rulers who possess a special treasure that makes meeting possible -- a vimana or space vehicle capable of traveling from one world to another -- and, rightly speaking, it should be possible to call all of these beings "human," as they are all humanoids, and "earthlings," as they are all on the plane. Moreover, there are other planes below where other advanced beings abide. Just as there is all this life here that we are not generally aware of, as shown on some maps but not the official ones, there is life all over the solar system and elsewhere.

.
What does our Secret Space Program do, Semjase?
Afterward, its mission was extended to conduct proximity operations and in-depth study of asteroid 99942 Apophis as OSIRIS-APEX (Apophis Explorer) [15]. Oh, brother, allegedly extends.
OSIRIS-REx was launched on Sept. 8, 2016 -- though we never heard anything about that -- flew past Earth on Sept. 22, 2017 -- completely under our radar as media watchers -- and allegedly rendezvoused with Bennu on Dec. 3, 2018 [16].
It spent the next two years analyzing the surface to find a suitable site from which to extract a sample. Oh, brother! The media reported that it swooped in, extending an arm, scrapping off some random surface material from its pristine fingerprint of the early universe, like a sterile crime scene. The Big Bang sneezed dust, it landed on Bennu, rested there for billions upon billions of years, and we are the first to get our hands on it. Incredible. Unbelievable. BS.
On Oct. 20, 2020, OSIRIS-REx touched down on Bennu and successfully collected a sample [17, 18,19, 20]. OSIRIS-REx departed Bennu on May 10, 2021 [21, 22] and returned its sample to Earth on Sept. 24, 2023 [23], subsequently starting its new mission to study 99942 Apophis.
Sure, it did. Why not? There's a picture of it all burned up, sitting in the desert, except for that bright yellow spot. Why not?
The spacecraft [like a gnat in space, tinsel and fragile] will arrive at Apophis in April 2029, around when the asteroid is expected to encounter Earth.
Bennu was chosen as the target of study because it is a "time capsule" from the birth of the Solar System [24]. Oy vey 🙄, here we go.
Bennu has a very dark surface and is classified as a B-type asteroid, a sub-type of the carbonaceous C-type asteroids. Such asteroids are considered primitive, having undergone little geological change from their time of formation.
In particular, Bennu was selected because of the availability of pristine carbonaceous material, a key element in organic molecules necessary for life as well as representative of matter from before the formation of Earth. Organic molecules, such as amino acids, have previously been found in meteorite and comet samples, indicating that some ingredients necessary for life can be naturally synthesized in outer space [1].
There ya have it. What more is there to say? We must have a secret space program to do such missions, if they're done at all, because we do not have the technology in our open budget programs. If only NASA were a truthful and transparent organization.
The alleged billion-dollar price tag
The cost of the OSIRIS-REx mission is approximately US$800 million [25], PLUS the cost of the Atlas V launch vehicle, which is about another US$183.5 million [26]. And what with the OSIRIS-APEX extended mission costs, that's an additional US$200 million [15].
It is the third planetary science mission selected in the New Frontiers program, after Juno and New Horizons. The principal investigator is Dante Lauretta from the University of Arizona.
OSIRIS-REx was the first United States spacecraft to return samples from an asteroid; the earlier, similar Japanese probe Hayabusa returned samples from 25143 Itokawa in 2010, and Hayabusa2 allegedly returned from 162173 Ryugu in Dec. 2020. Oh, those pesky Japanese nontheistic Buddhists and atheistic scientists are ahead of us and have better engineers, STEM graduates, and math nerds? There's a surprise. More

Vril Oracle Marija, born 1895 (Maria Orsitsch), gets a website? (mariaorsicnazi)
Nordic beauty, Vril Oracle Maria Orsic, channeled Sumerian texts she handed to the Nazis
(Audible Audiobook) This unabridged work by author Michael Salla, narrated by Bradley Duffy, has 4.5 stars out of 5 with 939 ratings.
The Los Angeles Air Raid on Feb. 24-25, 1942, opened an unprecedented chapter in the evolution of the U.S. Navy.
In response to this incident, a covert research program to investigate the feasibility of exotic antigravity propulsion technologies was developed.
In addition, covert Navy operatives were embedded in Nazi-occupied Europe to learn about the Germans’ advanced flying saucer programs.
They discovered that the Nazis were receiving assistance from two extraterrestrial groups with very different agendas.
The Sumerian language plans from the Aldebaran star system were a German success for Vril

Did white aliens impregnate brown earthlings?
The debriefing of the operatives took place at Naval Air Station, San Diego, led by Rear Admiral Rico Botta. He instructed “disseminator of naval research and information” William Tompkins to take confidential briefing packets to select think tanks, private corporations, and university departments around the country.
Later, Tompkins worked with a number of leading aerospace companies to design massive spacecraft for a secret U.S. Navy space program and was fatefully assisted by extraterrestrial (ET) visitors described as “Nordics.”
ET-hybrid Marija Orsic, 1921
An extensive number of documents substantiate Tompkins’ claims of the existence of a covert Navy program created to study, design, and build deep space battle groups.
They became operational in the 1980s. Now the U.S. Navy has a new goal: enact a plan to level the universal playing field, and the [s]election of President Trump may just be the wild card needed to reveal everything.

Maurice O'Connell Walshe (trans.), Arahan Sutra: "Arhat" (SN 1.25) edited and expanded by Dhr. Seven, Amber Larson, Crystal Quintero (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly
The Buddha is golden and marked with a Vedic swastika, a traditionally auspicious symbol (appropriated by Hitler and Nazis) that indicates enlightenment/noble state of an arhat.
[WQ: There is no self. All things are impersonal, egoless, devoid of self ("empty"). There is no permanent thing in the Five Things Clung to as Self. An enlightened person, even at the first stage, directly realizes that and is thereby awakened, freed, liberated, emancipated, and makes an end of all suffering. So how can such a person still use the word "I" or speak of things as "mine"? This would be due to a very subtle habit of speaking in a non-ultimate or "conventional" way to get some meaning across and be understood. But there would be no chance of a fully enlightened person, like the Buddha or arhats, being confused by the use of such words or knowing them by direct insight to be illusory, vain, unreal. Why? It is because all "things" (dharmas) are marked by Three Characteristics of Existence: they are impermanent, unsatisfactory, and impersonal/empty.]
Oh, now that makes sense!
[The Blessed One/the Buddha answered:]
Bonds are gone for one free of all conceits.
All delusion's chains are cast aside:
Truly wise, one has gone beyond any such thoughts.
Walshe 1: Yam matam, "whatever is thought." Mrs. Rhys Davids's emendation of yamatam in the text (paraphrased as "conceits and deemings of the errant mind," following the Commentarial maññanam "imagining").
Yet, that person still might use such words as "I,"
Still perchance might say: "They call this 'mine'."
Walshe 2: Cf. DN 9: "These are merely names, expressions, turns of speech, designations in common use in the world, which the Tathagata ["the person who has arrived and who has gone beyond"] uses without misapprehending them." [There is a difference between common or "conventional" and "ultimate" truth/speech.]
What do you mean there's NO self?
What the h*ll are you talking about, Gautama?! The self is the eternal atman (soul)!
[That "nutriment" is not necessarily physical food but different sorts of things -- like one's latent store of karma, or joy for certain devas, or contact/sense impression.]
Then Ven. Radha went to the Blessed One, bowed, and sat respectfully to one side. As he sat there he ask the
Blessed One: "A 'being' (sattaor Sanskrit sattva] venerable sir, a 'being,' it is said, but to what extent is
one said to be a 'being'?"
You'll see. The truth will set you free.
[The Buddha responded:] "Radha, any desire, passion, delight, or craving for [physical or fine-material] form, when one is caught up (satta) there, tied up (visatta) there, one is said to be a 'being' (satta).
"Radha, any desire, passion, delight, or craving for feeling (sensation)...
perception... formations... consciousness, when one is caught
up there, tied up there, one is said to be a 'being'" (SN 23.2).
[What we call a living being is in fact a collection of groups that are clung to. Ignorance clings to them and takes them to be a "self, ego, soul, personality, or essence." They are not that, but the Enlightened One realized that these impersonal, impermanent, and unsatisfactory things (aggregates, heaps, constituents) are what beings cling to as a self. This is perhaps the hardest thing to understand in all of Buddhism, but it is what distinguishes an ordinary worldling from an enlightened (or nobleand therefore liberated) one.]
"I am" is the greatest conceit. There is no self.
Few Buddhists seem to realize that in Mahayana Buddhism, the most famous apocryphal discourse is the Heart Sutra (Prajñāpāramitāhṛdaya Sutra or Heart of Wisdom Discourse) tackles this deep, profound, subtle, and exceedingly difficult topic. All of the 100,000 lines are dedicated to explicating this teaching. But it is only the direct realization, the liberating insight into it, that liberates one. Upon realization, one becomes a stream enterer, the first stage of enlightenment. Without it, there is no Buddhist "enlightenment" (bodhi) and therefore no glimpse or touching of liberation (nirvana). There may be many things, but there will not be freedom from all suffering.
