Mexican Pilot Possessed by Aliens

The radio tower asked Rafael to identify himself and he replied asking for a private channel to talk to them. When they gave  him the new channel, they asked him again to identify himself and what his location was. Rafael replied,  “He is speaking because he is ordered to do so, that is, this is his voice, he is speaking but not of his own free will. We are using him as if he were… yes, we are using him as a microphone. We don’t matter much, nor where we come from, nor where we’re going, just know that we are beings from this universe to which you belong. Our planet is many light-years away, but I’ll repeat that before it becomes confusing: we are physically the same as you, I repeat that all races in the universe are physically the same.”

It also said they had always been here, and that compared to them, humans were primitive. That they were watching humanity from the skies and that humanity had to change or an irreversible global catastrophe would occur. They also said they meant no harm to the pilot and that when he woke up, he would not remember how he ended up here or anything having to do with them. 

The air traffic controller asked if they were so advanced, why were they speaking Spanish and they replied that they could speak any language. Then that air traffic controller, who happened to be trilingual, started speaking German, then English and the aliens speaking through Rafael replied in both languages. Rafael himself only spoke Spanish.

Then it said, “You are not alone in the universe, and there are other races that we are keeping away from you, but we are watching you”. And the transmission ended at 11:29 AM

“So bullshitting isn’t just nonsense. It’s constructed in order to appear meaningful, though on closer examination, it isn’t. And bullshit isn’t the same as lying. A liar knows the truth but makes statements deliberately intended to sell people on falsehoods. bullshitters, in contrast, aren’t concerned about what’s true or not, so much as they’re trying to appear as if they know what they’re talking about. In that sense, bullshitting can be thought of as a verbal demonstration of the Dunning-Kruger effect—when people speak from a position of disproportionate confidence about their knowledge relative to what little they actually know, bullshit is often the result.”

What is Low Self-Esteem?

Low self-esteem is when someone lacks confidence about who they are and what they can do. They often feel incompetent, unloved, or inadequate. People who struggle with low self-esteem are consistently afraid about making mistakes or letting other people down.

Having self-esteem issues can be detrimental to your health and negatively affect your personal and professional relationships. There are many reasons why you may have low self-esteem — your genes, how and where you grew up, and other life circumstances all play a role.

“It’s so bizarre watching him play to his base that thinks that he cares about them and it’s actually the people that he cares about the fucking least. If you’re talking about his core being a majority white middle-class people, what I don’t understand is how in the fuck do you feel like you relate to a billionaire who has never known struggle his entire fucking life?”

“Sometimes, the hardest thing to be is yourself.”

By being treated in these damaging ways, the child learns that being yourself is dangerous, that in order to survive and be at least marginally accepted by your caregivers, you have to hide who you really are: your thoughts, observations, feelings, and preferences.

Other times the child decides to lie to get their needs met, needs that otherwise would be completely ignored. For example, if the caregivers are emotionally distant, the child might lie or pretend that somethings going on just to receive some attention.

And, of course, if the child is routinely attacked or rejected for being authentic, they learn to hide and pretend. In many cases, to the degree where they gradually lose connection to their authentic self and have no idea anymore who they really are.

This is tragic. However, its important to realize that, as adults, we don’t have to be afraid of abandonment anymore. We don’t need our caregivers to survive. We can endure and deal with all these feelings of betrayal, hurt, distrust, shame, loneliness, anger, and many others.

As adults we can slowly untangle all of these problems and slowly rediscover who we really are. We also can start working on trusting others who actually are trustworthy. We can become authentic again.
