i'm particularly fond of science fiction which deals with religion, spirituality or the numinous because so much of the religious experience is reflected with extra terrestrial contact.
i've just finished re reading the 'book of enoch' the translation from the ethiopian, and here it is the book they didn't want you to see. those crafty men who made up the council of nicaea didn't want people knowing to much about the beings that came to earth. the war in heaven is such a great science fiction story, wow, the nephilim and their human wives, the ascensions, some of the descriptions in the old testament clearly indicate alien interaction with human beings, along with the plant medicine vision. my take is that the shaman or wise men or high priests at the time used a lot of plant medicines, then in their visions they read the future, like a dream state. chariots of fire, ladders to heaven, conversations with god, wow, let's face it these cats were tripping on some potent syrian rue and using language to describe things they had not ever seen, things there was no words for, thus the descriptions so wild. but one thing is certain, the judgement of man by some power greater than man, this is the whole focal point on which the monotheic religions spin, that the the sky god will judge us for our actions, that there are rules to living and that duality splits the brain.
which is why i tend to verge on the pantheist world-view, the world is neither good or bad, it simply is beautiful and wondrous. human beings may behave badly or immorally but they are flawed, and they need to work out their failings, align themselves with creation of perish. all acts of creation should be dedicated to the universe as acts of devotion.
all intelligent life should see every action as a devotion to this principle, and in turn every breath becomes sacred and holy.
