Teilhard de Chardin and UFOs

Oswald Spengler’s The Decline of the West posits that western civilization will eventually die, much in the way that human’s die.

Spenger suggests that cities, countries, societies, and other civilized constructs are “biological” in essence, and live a life-cycle that is little different than that of a human being.

Theologian Teilhard de Chardin takes the concept even further. He posits that the Universe – total reality actually – is the “Mystical Body of Christ” – a physical entity that is biological in form and essence. [The Divine Milieu]

Setting aside the theological aspects of Teilhard’s conjecture, we think the concept is interesting as far as UFOs are concerned.

If we human beings are molecule or atoms, cells, in the actual body of the Christ, then what are UFOs – viruses, bacteria, antibodies, nano-probes?

If UFOs are cellular intrusions, what is their purpose? To destroy the entity they are invading? To cure it? To stymie a broad societal cancer, or to accelerate the demise of the body they have been and are invading?

Is there an array of “biological” entities invading human civilization, or the whole Mystical Body of Christ?

What are the antidotes for the invasions? There have been none; that is, ufologists haven’t been able to counter the UFO “attacks.” And ufologists seem unable to do so.

A new medical corp is needed. Or a new theological paradigm is necessary, one that addresses the UFO enigma as if it were (and is) something foreign but tangible, and capable of being thwarted or understood in non-abstract terms.

Spengler and Tielhard were on to something. Now it’s time for the UFO community to latch on to the possibility that they may have been right.
