Bob Lazar on alien technology
Originally, here: https://www.facebook.com/nwahidazal/posts/2610953235898642
Despite what his wikipedia page says about him, I am convinced that Bob Lazar is neither a conspiracy theorist nor is being untruthful about his experiences at Area 51 in Nevada during the 1980s. Some of the things he has said over the years have also been vindicated (see this Joe Rogan podcast with him where it is discussed https://youtu.be/BEWz4SXfyCQ).
My
interest is especially piqued by some of the artifacts Lazar claims to have
witnessed first hand, especially the alien technology
he was assigned to analyze where in one segment of the interview with Rogan he
characterizes as being "borderline magic." This is the alien reactor
and its gravity producing capabilities which defies all currently known laws of
physics as presently known to humans.
It
has never made any sense to me that humans are alone in the universe and that
the All-High has created no other sentient, intelligent beings other than us.
Luckily Shiʿi ḥadīth confirm that we are not alone and that the All-High has
indeed created infinite creations before us with the Bayān proclaiming that
there will indeed be infinite creations after us.
That
aside, and contrary to much of the chatter in the UFO conspiracy scene, I am
not convinced that these ETs are malevolent. In fact for an alien civilization
to have come all the way here -- occasionally revealing themselves to the
terrestrial locals -- while deliberately leaving behind artifacts on earth
thousands of years in advance of the technology we currently posses means that
they can only be beneficent perhaps hoping that humanity can someday attain
their level of knowledge because from the things that Bob Lazar says, it seems
to me that the ETs have not only mastered the mysteries of matter but they have
done so by virtue of the advanced nature of their understanding of the nature
of Reality and the Spirit which ultimately binds all matter together (extraterrestrial
Alchemy as perhaps the basis and foundation of this alien science with its
technology?)
Having
said that, I do not subscribe to the neo-Gnostic perspective that holds these
aliens to be gods and as the originators of humanity, as all sentient life
throughout the length and breadth of the universe is subject to one single
eternal universal First Principle Who is Everlastingly Pre-Eternal in the
durationlessness of Its Post-Eternality, unchanged and unalterable in the
Hidden Primordiality of the Unicity of Its absolutely transcendent Inclusive
Unity and Exclusive Oneness that is Its unknowable Essence: God (سبحانه
و تعالى).
By Imām Muḥammad al-Bāqir (ع), the fifth Imām:
“…Dost thou believe that this is the only world God created? That It did not
create creatures other than thee? Indeed God hath created thousands upon
thousands of worlds with thousands upon thousands of Adams,
and ye dwell upon only the last of these worlds, in the midst of the last of
these Adamic creations!” (my trans.) In al-Ṣadūq, kitāb al-tawḥīd,
(ed.) al-Sayyid Ḥāshim al-Ḥusaynī al-Ṭihrānī (n.p., n.d.), 277:
لعلك ترى أن الله إنما خلق هذا العالم الواحد وترى أن الله لم يخلق بشرا غيركم بلى والله لقد خلق الله ألف ألف عالم وألف ألف آدم أنت في آخر تلك العوالم وأولئك الآدميين
