Higher entities...do you believe?

[Dragon Slayer]

Ghosts, spirits, angels, demons, aliens, gods. All forms of higher entities with suposed higher consciousness than us, if they even exist at all. But What exactly does higher conciousness mean, if in belief, everything is consciously connected to the universal energy, which in my belief is "god". Does this mean that technically, there is no being higher, nor lower than us, for we are all equally the same consciousness?

Discuss..

There is only one higher power: Jack Bauer.

(Yeah, he's fictional too.)

[Hare_Geist]

No.

aliens, pretty big chance yes. Our brains are twice the size as a chimp and that enabled us to take science to where it is now in a very short amount of time. What if an alien has a brain or something similer thats 3 times the size of ours, how fucken smart would that cunt be. Have they come here and contacted our governments, no

Being dead doesn't make you smarter.

The "ghosts" I have dealt with are pretty much like everyone else, only maybe a tad more confused and fearful.

Other spirits are different, of course. Midwayers tend to be playful; elementals and devas, powerful but limited.

No, I don't believe in 'higher beings'.

I think it's highly probable, however, there is alien life, but I severely doubt it is more advanced than we are, or if it is, that it is sufficiently advanced (to almost magical standards) enough to reach humanity in the same manner as fictional aliens do.

Angels, Gods and Demons were just ancient peoples filling in the gaps of their primitive worldviews.

No god but God.
