They believe that they possess knowledge of their general cosmic situation, so far as is possible for anyone to obtain such knowledge, and that there is little point attempting to learn any more about it.
Society’s Common Approved Myth (The SCAM *) holds that there is, hypothetically, E.T., and that technology may be the means of contacting E.T.
* The SCAM: Society’s Common Approved Myth.
Its scope is cosmic.
Its level of detail?
An exercise for the reader.
But it is not necessarily a judgment of:
"Everything you know."
Note the qualifiers:
common and approved.
To grasp the SCAM, one cultivates an attitude of skepticism.
This is not a reference to the several "skeptics" organizations, which actually function as thought police, seeking to correct deviations from the SCAM.
Meanwhile, for those who subscribe to this section of the SCAM, there is "God" from whom flows the Bible and all Good Things, and as a matter of fact, everything, including, inscrutably, bad things, and E.T. too.
He also neglected to mention much of anything about E.T. in His Bible.
You’d think he might have, if He had created any E.T.
But He didn’t.
Is He telling us not to Go There?
Although science does not venture to discuss the existence of God, its creator, it nevertheless is acceptable to explore the relationship of E.T. and religion, which is about God, obviously, since Paul Davies does it and gets away with publishing his musings in The Atlantic Monthly.
Davies notes that hypothetical E.T. coexists fairly well with God and his religions, but E.T. in the flesh, or whatever E.T. has, could pose a problem.
Therefore, he spends a good part of his article on the subject of astrobiology, which after all has a bearing on the likelihood that E.T. in the flesh will someday have to be faced.
That is the scientific side of the problem.
Davies devotes the next part of his article to reviewing the familiar old theological issues: relative status of E.T. and man, multiple incarnations of Jesus Christ, could an alien be a Jew or a Muslim.
And in this context, he brings in the SETI Institute’s Jill Tarter with a truly heroic statement:
"God is our own invention.
If we’re going to survive or turn into a long-lived technological civilization, organized religion needs to be outgrown."
That is a very brave thing for anyone to say in today’s world, and besides, it’s true.*
* Davies was quoting from Tarter’s article SETI and the Religions of Extraterrestrials, (2000), in which she applies the SETI scientific method to the subject of extraterrestrial religions.
That is, she uses the Drake Equation, just this one time ("which in fact I hardly ever use"), along with her observations of Earth’s religions, to reach the following speculations:
"If and when we ever get a message, it’s going to be a missionary appeal to try to convert us all.
And, on the other hand, if we get a message and it’s secular in nature, I think that says that they have no organized religion—that they’ve outgrown it."
Unfortunately, Davies finds it to be naive.
As he says, some sort of spirituality seems to be part of human nature, and Einstein had a "cosmic religious feeling" when contemplating the awesome majesty of the universe.
Before leaving, we will just mention that the reason for bringing all this up about E.T. and God is to make the point that if it is acceptable to talk about God and SETI in the same breath, it should also be ok to discuss souls and technology.

But where do we begin, to say nothing of why should we bother?
Please do check out that hyperlink, as you will be amazed to see how many mythologies had these.
So Open SETI is now inquiring into the afterlife. Very bizarre... or is it?
No less than Carl Sagan (1997) suggested the same, when his character Ellie Arroway, the leading SETI scientist pursuing a provocative signal, encountered her own deceased father.
When encountered physically, they have a way to control the behavior and experience of the human.
They also have the ability to take the human out of body.
In other words, to conduct the human somewhere, as a soul.
3) The technology
Artifacts are reported.
Psychopomps in all cultures are said to carry wand-like devices which, when held against a subject’s forehead, induce a paralysis of the body and a separation of the soul from it.
However, aside from the specific instance of the wand-like artifact, the general ability to separate, guide, and to reconnect souls to the previous body, or connect them to different bodies, is a technology possessed by psychopomps and whatever larger group they represent.
War in Heaven & the Theocrats
Having introduced the major entities: souls, those who manipulate them, and the technology for doing so, we need to develop these concepts much further.
This is as good a place as any to refer to the groundbreaking visionary work of Kyle Griffith, found in his book War in Heaven (1988).
As a physical framework, Griffith speaks of "astral matter" that has an atomic and subatomic particle structure resembling that of physical matter but possessing much less mass than the physical counterpart.
Although the mass ratios among the various astral subatomic particles is the same as that of the physical ones, all have much less absolute mass than physical electrons.
Astral subatomic particles have gravitational properties that resemble but do not interact with the gravitation of physical particles.
Likewise, there is astral energy that does not interact with physical systems.
There is however one very important exception to this general lack of interaction, and this actually is the basis of "the secret of life":
Astral matter forms complex organic molecules just as physical matter does, and their respective chemical bonds have similar energy levels and photon frequencies associated with them.
This allows for resonance and chemical bonding between physical and astral matter.
It is the combined molecular system that exhibits the basic characteristics of "life", such as irritability and the ability to reproduce.
This is how astral matter and the soul, which is constructed of astral matter, become involved in the reduplication of DNA and many aspects of cell metabolism.
The bonding provides a pathway by which some of the cell’s metabolic energy can be converted into astral energy that feeds the soul, powering its various functions, and providing for regeneration of its astral matter, which is then used to perform cellular growth and repairs.
Death is caused by breaking the bonds between physical and astral matter.
The soul spoken of here is a primitive analog of the physical body.
It is alive, but it is not sentient.
It has a nervous system but not a mind.
Griffith calls this the somatic soul.
The "true" soul is the astral soul.
The astral soul is a body of astral matter linked to the somatic soul’s nervous system by the famous silver cord.
Or ever the silver cord be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken, or the pitcher be broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern.Ecc 12:6
This is structured like a segment of plant root with feeder roots at both ends, tapping into the two souls’ nervous systems.
Energy flowing from the body into the somatic soul and through the silver cord to the astral soul is the astral soul’s only truly efficient source of nourishment.
The astral soul does not, but it loses its best source of energy.
A new somatic soul is created during the embryological development of every new human being.
Griffith provides a complicated discussion of various methods of reincarnation, involving ways in which the astral soul connects, and interactions with the mother’s astral soul.
Although quite interesting, this is beyond the scope of our page.
What is important for us here is this: the astral soul (or spirit) normally receives its energy from the living physical body and must reincarnate within ten to fifty years in order to revitalize itself.
They take a different, evil, and immoral path to replenishing themselves: cannibalism.
They are able to use telepathic powers to "hypnotize" spirits who then allow them to attach their own silver cord to them, just as though they were the somatic soul of an infant.
By this means they can draw out enough energy to sustain themselves, but the process destroys the other spirit.
In War in Heaven, the spirits that do this are termed Theocrats, probably because for long millennia the vehicle they have used to capture and destroy weaker spirits has been religion.
The Theocrats obtain victims by posing as gods and persuading religious believers to come to them voluntarily after death thinking they are entering:
"Eternal bliss in Heaven."
Readers who are wondering what this interesting discussion has to do with SETI, need only recall the opening paragraphs of this page.
It is the SETI community itself that recognizes a need to confront concepts of "God" in their line of work.
Indeed, there is a need, and we intend to help them to meet it.
We have reached the end of the page but the beginning of a vast topic.
