UFOs & Extraterrestrials: Why They're Here--the Dark Secret

Why are they here?

There are several prevalent theories as to why there is an alien presence; 1) E.T. is preparing to invade Earth and all humans will be either destroyed or enslaved; 2) Alien abductions are E.T. genetic experiments that will ultimately culminate in the creation of an alien/human hybrid—a higher vibrational frequency physical body that aliens can inhabit. This is necessary because they can no longer reproduce; 3) Earth is an alien vacation spot or intergalactic zoo, with human behavior being the primary draw or main attraction; 4) The pollution of Earth is the pollution of countless inter-dimensional Earths and E.T. is here to get us to clean up the planet and atmosphere. (You may know several other theories of why there is an alien presence.)

Which theory makes the most sense?

Though they are all plausible, these theories are impossible to prove. They are at best speculations or extrapolations based on scraps of information. At worst, they are science-fiction or Hollywood inspired scenarios, cultural motifs that only seem plausible because we have seen them so many times in movies or as the plots of sci-fi thrillers.


The Edgar Cayce Theory of an alien presence



It is ironic that the most bizarre, outlandish and incredulous theory of why there is an alien presence, a theory very few people have even heard of, has the most hard evidence to support it.

The bizarre, little known theory of why there is an alien presence was postulated by the psychic Edgar Cayce (pronounced “Kay-cee”). Before his death in 1945, Cayce, in a series of trance readings, hinted that humanity’s origin is not what we think it is, neither scientifically, nor religiously. According to the Cayce readings, Adam and Eve were not the first humans! Nor did humans evolve from lower primates. They got here on their own and became trapped here.

The key to understanding the alien presence, according to this theory, has to do with embracing the outlandish notion that all the creatures mentioned in mythology, the Sphinx, the mermaid, the satyr, the unicorn, etc., were real! They walked the planet, they flew the skies, they swam in the seas. Eventually, they forgot who they were and where they came from.

And though the natural inclination is to dismiss this notion of the reality of “mythological” creatures as the ignorance, superstitions, or the fantasies of primitive people, depictions of hybrid creatures appear in every ancient culture that has ever been unearthed. Every single one. Images of these “abominations” in stone or metal or in ancient drawings are as prevalent and omnipresent as accounts of the Flood.

In ancient Egypt, some of the hybrid creatures were worshipped as gods. In ancient Greece, the giants (the Titans) were worshipped as the gods of Mount Olympus; the mythological creatures were revered in ancient Rome, Assyria, and in Babylon. Medallions baring depictions of unicorns have been found in the Indus Valley. Ancient India and China also have their depictions and legends about these creatures.

The Bible mentions giants (Genesis 6:4); unicorns, “goat-demons” (satyrs), and “the lines of confusion” (Isaiah 34:14). It mentions the half-brothers Chemosh and Moloch (I Kings 11:7) and how they were “abominations” that were worshipped and how both had the heads of bulls and the torsos of men.

When I first learned of the Cayce theory, it so intrigued me that I immediately began investigating antiquity to see if any evidence existed that supported it. I have been researching and piecing together evidence of this bizarre theory since 1993. The number of ancient mysterious this theory appears to resolve is staggering. It also appears to present a plausible explanation of why there is an alien presence: It’s a rescue mission of sorts.

Gods with amnesia

In a nutshell, the Cayce theory hints that they’re here because we’re here. They’re here to help us remember who we really are, where we came from and how we really got here—in three-dimensional earth reality. Not evolution. Not the Garden. Way weirder than that.

In antiquity, they tried to tell us in countless ways why they’re here; always trying to show us the way out. An example of one of their less subtle clues is that the shaft in one of the Great Pyramids of Giza is trained like rifle barrel on the constellation Orion. Orion is also known as the” Starman,” or the “Celestial Man.” Why does the shaft point to the constellation Orion? The Cayce theory hints that the shaft in the Great Pyramid of Giza may be pointing at the constellation Orion because they want us to remember who we really are, where we came from and to come on back home. But they don’t know how to make that happen.
