So to answer that part of the question, I would say that there definitely are beings, you know, on whom, you know, who influenced us.

They're like the cargo cults.

There's this notion of the cargo cults.

During World War II, both the Japanese and American airmen

were using islands, I believe in Micronesia, or Polynesia perhaps, where they were using it as landing grounds as they attacked each other.

And they would come in with all this great cargo.

And the natives, very, very primitive peoples, thought these were gods coming from the skies in these flying machines.

And they brought all these goodies with them that they distributed.

the cargo.

And then the war ended and these guys disappeared.

No more flights coming in.

And they're really freaking out.

So they start creating runways and they start creating antennae from bamboos and stuff like that, trying to bring the guys back with the cargo.

So they're called cargo cults.

So they really believe that these airmen were really gods and they worshipped them and tried to bring them back in.

Now I think we've done the same thing with extraterrestrial entities.

And I believe that we've actually kind of, we've invited in three different kinds of divinities.

The first group I call, you know, regional divinities, that there were some extraterrestrial civilizations who've occupied particular parts of real estate on planet Earth and colonized it.

for particular resources, whether it was mining gold in South Africa, whatever they needed.

So that's one group.
