Aliens from Another Realm

Raphael Terra

This audiobook has been recorded using Text to speech (TTS). 
 
Why are aliens so widespread in ancient tradition, mythology, religion and even now in our modern age? 
 
The truth can be found within the mind and it’s connection to another plain of existence. We can see this 'dark' side of the mind and alien connection because many of the methods used by ancient man to access his own internal world. This internal world may in fact be connection to the multiverse and other realms of existence. 
 
Sometimes with the use of drugs and sometimes with other methods such as meditation or prayer we can access this other dimension. Sometimes the bodies own hormone drug cabinet will open up a pathway for us to wander freely. 
 
There are always two sides to every tale and so we have to walk a pathway between these world's of order and chaos. This pathway is multi-levelled. It is the hypnagogic - the point between waking and sleeping. This state of being enables us to be aware of the unconscious world. Within this realm man can see and experience what Carl Jung termed archetypes - things we all see. What is becoming clear today is that these archetypes, witnessed across time by mankind, are in reality true connections to other dimensions. 
 
This is the tale of those connections. The moments in humanity when we have come face to face with what we call, aliens. And these aliens have more than influenced our history, they have created it.

The Jesus Clones

Tordín Lyn

Imagine what could happen if a religious zealot possessing wealth, power, and bio-technical genius, came into possession of a thorn from the Crown of Thorns placed upon Jesus’ head at the time of His Crucifixion. Richard Francis Craig had such a thorn and recovered Jesus’s DNA from its fossilized remains. He then joined forces with two progressive members of the Church, Cardinal Giovanni and Bishop Bellarmine, and a biotech wunderkind, Kristjan Evans. They have the technology to read His genetic code, a gift from God given through the Immaculate Conception of Mary and the Virgin Birth of Jesus. Dare they go further? Do they have the courage to use His genetic information to recreate the essence of Jesus, His clone, resurrecting Him to usher in the Second Coming and End of Times, the Final Judgement?Richard Craig made his fortune using his technological genius to found the biopharmaceutical company GenFlux. He was brought up in a strict Christian family by a stern father, a minister in the Redemption Church, and an architect of the God Box. While in the God Box Richard had his vision of Revelation and the Second Coming. The world is in chaos approaching the years of Tribulation and Richard believed God’s desire was for Man to save himself. Did not Mankind discover medical breakthroughs that prevented misery and death? Did Richard not develop medical breakthroughs that cured illness and alleviated suffering? Did Man not harness the power of the atom and the power of DNA, the life force? Richard often felt he was chosen to be a Prophet of the Lord. He knew Mankind possessed the power to control the life force itself, DNA, and thus the life essence of any organism whose DNA sequence Man could acquire. Assisted by Cardinal Giovanni, Bishop Bellarmine, and fellow technological genius Kristjan Evans, Richard Craig formulated his plan to clone Jesus and hasten the Second Coming of Christ, the Final Judgment, and the End of Times.
