Spirituality is a unique quality and human experience? They are non-human intelligent beings exist and if so, these beings have religious beliefs or anime?
At least one of the great religions of the world has indicated that its response to these questions can be good, no, yes and yes, in that order. In a recent interview with Italian newspaper L'Osservatore Romano, the Vatican's chief astronomer Rev. Jose Gabriel Funes, said there is no conflict between believing in extraterrestrialintelligent life and faith in God
"How can we exclude that life has developed elsewhere?" Rev Funes asks a similar faith and logic, given the unusually high number of planets with atmospheres where the sun and Earth.
But astronomer top of the Catholic Church, goes even further, which means that some foreigners could describe the theme of separation from God in Genesis. "It could be (other beings) who remained in full friendship with their Creator, "Rev. Funes made.
While the premise of intelligent non-human life is one of the leading themes of science fiction and fantasy, the most creative work in these genres are not afraid to speak directly alien spirituality, religion or faith. There are some notable exceptions, however, that deserves a visit because it helps us to explore our spirituality and the limits we put on, however, may have subconsciously are.
Enemy Mine, a 1985 science> Fiction film derived from the novel's award-winning Barry B. Longyear '1979 shows a inter-galactic war between humans and an alien race called the Drac. Marooned, struggling against fighters damaged area on an isolated, inhospitable planet, start a dragon and a man as the enemy. necessary for survival, but they are a cautious peace.
Finally, the two closest friends. The Drac has a faith and a sense of their spirituality and the divine, that his humanCounterparty may easily recognizable as such. The Drac often read a small book of religious / philosophical text that hangs around his neck, and often sits outside at sunset, pondering the great questions of life and sense and talk with his new companion, found human.
Ultimately, faith and friendship motivate foreign human being other than what her reputation to consider as a fighter pilot concentrated high scores only for the progress of his military career. L 'Alien reminds the man that life is much more than just a struggle for conquest and material success. The same Drac saves man from the planet consumed by predators, and suffered for them later. The man is much better learned to respect and even love for a stranger as a being of great faith and courage.
An example of imagination, the right of spirituality is the Green Stone of Healing ® series. It features an intelligent non-human beings,known as Mist-Weaver, showing skills that people attribute to the better angels or the supernatural. The Mist Weaver is to be able to appear and dissolve, the shift from material to material not actually in the same manner as the divine messenger of the earth religious traditions.
Like an angel, the Mist Weaver is such as to maintain a physical form more easily with the human characters. The Mist Weaver clearly has a deep sense of the divine and his connection with theand support of all life, and tries to spiritual connection in his human counterparts. But his spiritual teachings have often lost because they are much more limited than the human mind. The Mist-Weaver's presence spurs his human students to test the limits of their faith and spiritual understanding, like the burning bush, indicating the presence of God, Moses presented the challenges of faith and self-growth.
Although the Mist-Weaver isspiritually more advanced than the people with whom it interacts, he does not seek to dictate human behavior and beliefs, solve human problems, or to protect its students with the human consequences of their actions. He is no magic deus ex machina and straightening all wrong. In a hands-off approach, it might matter to some, but it seems the opposite is true. He heals the sign of a broken finger and other injuries, and often tried to comfort others in theirThe Desperate Hours.
The Mist Weaver simply refuses to take action against him and advanced learning to understand the true meaning of free will. Ignore many other well-intentioned free will in a hurry and crowds test where angels fear to enter. Maybe these aliens is really strange. The Mist Weaver, too-human tendency to suffer from the lives of other people or run into believing that God is such a micro-manager.
A thirdExample of speculative fiction to present highly intelligent non-human spiritual development Alien Nation, is a pilot TV movie and short-lived Fox network television series of the same name. Most of these on-screen "Newcomers" are normal people, although there are evil in their midst, too. But the average Joes and Jills foreigners have jobs, homes, children, and seek peace between their human counterparts. They also have extensive religious rituals andTraditions that are represented in the series.
As Enemy Mine, and the green stone of Healing ® series, Alien Nation asserts that non-humans can teach the human variety a thing or two about life and spirituality. The police officer newcomer is a human detective who initially matched very dissatisfied with the regime. But the former earns the respect and affection with his courage, intelligence, resourcefulness and loyalty. The newcomer shows that thispermanent and spiritual qualities of character are not the sole province of humans. Once again, the man is better to have learned to turn to foreigners.
On planet earth, sealed and isolated from all-too-human fear that spirituality is only a mirage, many of the former are far more alien than the notion of non-human intelligent beings. But each of us, although we have no right to our respect, spiritual longing, the hunger for a sense of community and belonging, describe aSelf-esteem and our unique place in this vast universe.
In other words, we have long to live our spirituality and their implicit relationship with God, but we think he is God by any name that we call the divine. But we struggle with our greatest human fear: the loss that our concept of "complete friendship" in the words of the astronomers of the Vatican, we will never be enough or worthy enough to claim back the final spiritual relationship.
Foreigners may God far more creditus. If / when the day comes that we openly encounter intelligent non-humans, we may find that the experience brings us much closer to recovery and to live our spirituality than we ever thought possible.
You can always choose the unknown alien who embrace rather than fear him.
