74 00:05:35,003 --> 00:05:39,506 Or might they have had actual contact with divine or, 75 00:05:39,508 --> 00:05:42,743 as some would describe, "otherworldly" beings? 76 00:05:43,945 --> 00:05:47,145 When we look at those ancient systems of belief 77 00:05:47,194 --> 00:05:49,894 where the ruler, the emperor, the king 78 00:05:49,895 --> 00:05:53,795 was not just the divine representative of the gods, 79 00:05:53,796 --> 00:05:55,396 but was a god himself. 80 00:05:56,297 --> 00:05:59,597 We can see obvious parallels with modern day cults. 81 00:06:01,295 --> 00:06:04,695 Gods and aliens may at the end be the same, 82 00:06:04,696 --> 00:06:06,096 it's simply using different names. 83 00:06:06,099 --> 00:06:10,035 Is this a spaceman from another planet or is this a god? 84 00:06:10,573 --> 00:06:13,040 And it's simply our terminology. 85 00:06:18,242 --> 00:06:21,482 While in the hospital recovering from a heart 86 00:06:21,484 --> 00:06:27,220 attack in the early 1970s, Marshall Applewhite professed to 87 00:06:27,222 --> 00:06:30,958 have a vision that he and his nurse, Bonnie Nettles, were the 88 00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:35,129 so-called, "two witnesses" as described in the New Testament 89 00:06:35,131 --> 00:06:37,165 Book of Revelation. 90 00:06:39,267 --> 00:06:43,104 After further visions, Applewhite's story evolved-- 91 00:06:43,106 --> 00:06:45,406 he told his followers that he and 92 00:06:45,408 --> 00:06:50,075 Nettles were actually aliens inhabiting human bodies. 93 00:06:52,198 --> 00:06:57,497 Applewhite made the claim that he was the exclusive means 94 00:06:57,498 --> 00:07:03,097 by which a power from outer space would communicate with the world, 95 00:07:03,098 --> 00:07:07,997 that he had been chosen to reveal the truth 96 00:07:07,998 --> 00:07:12,198 as known to these superior alien beings. 97 00:07:13,699 --> 00:07:21,641 Part of our test of faith is our hating this 98 00:07:21,643 --> 00:07:24,911 world-- even our flesh body enough to be willing to leave it 99 00:07:24,913 --> 00:07:28,617 without any proof other than what we have come to know. 100 00:07:30,019 --> 00:07:32,451 Whether the visions Marshall Applewhite had were 101 00:07:32,454 --> 00:07:34,954 real or imagined, one thing is 102 00:07:34,956 --> 00:07:38,657 certain-- he believed in them completely. 103 00:07:38,961 --> 00:07:42,329 He clearly believed his own teachings and 104 00:07:42,331 --> 00:07:43,964 in fact, castrated himself 105 00:07:43,966 --> 00:07:47,633 surgically because that was part of the teaching. 106 00:07:47,670 --> 00:07:49,536 They believed that highly evolved beings would have no 107 00:07:49,538 --> 00:07:50,971 sexual characteristics. 108 00:07:50,973 --> 00:07:53,939 Someone who is a con man is not going to do this. 109 00:07:54,476 --> 00:07:57,377 If Applewhite really was contacted by 110 00:07:57,379 --> 00:08:01,281 extraterrestrials, were they the same beings that ancient 111 00:08:01,283 --> 00:08:06,556 astronaut theorists say visited earth thousands of years ago? 112 00:08:09,758 --> 00:08:12,426 But if so why would they ultimately betray and deceive him? 113 00:08:14,863 --> 00:08:20,500 Some believe the answer can be found in the creation story as 114 00:08:20,502 --> 00:08:26,104 told by the Sumerians of Mesopotamia, the world's oldest known civilization. 115 00:08:27,343 --> 00:08:33,642 The ancient Mesopotamians stories talked about how the ancient E.T.s 116 00:08:33,715 --> 00:08:37,515 really wanted to keep control over the human race. 117 00:08:38,417 --> 00:08:42,653 In Sumerian mythology, the god Enki created humans 118 00:08:42,655 --> 00:08:45,322 as a slave race-- but his 119 00:08:45,361 --> 00:08:47,794 superiors forbade him from giving them knowledge 120 00:08:47,796 --> 00:08:51,495 of their true origins, for fear of revolt. 121 00:08:53,234 --> 00:08:56,970 That was actually the express intent of these 122 00:08:56,972 --> 00:09:02,576 extraterrestrials to actually create that kind of ignorance. 123 00:09:03,478 --> 00:09:06,878 It's actually talked about in some of the old creation stories 124 00:09:06,948 --> 00:09:09,714 and that was really what the Biblical Adam and Eve 125 00:09:09,718 --> 00:09:13,320 story talked about as well, when Adam and Eve wanted to 126 00:09:13,322 --> 00:09:16,789 partake of the fruit, which was a symbol for knowledge, 127 00:09:16,790 --> 00:09:21,259 but the gods said, "No, you cannot have access to that knowledge." 128 00:09:25,331 --> 00:09:27,935 According to the ancient Sumerian texts, 129 00:09:27,937 --> 00:09:32,205 Enki defies his superiors and hands 130 00:09:32,207 --> 00:09:34,407 down this forbidden knowledge to 131 00:09:34,409 --> 00:09:39,677 a secret society known as the Brotherhood of the Snake. 132 00:09:42,348 --> 00:09:45,948 The Brotherhood of the Snake was originally an organization 133 00:09:45,949 --> 00:09:49,849 by a benevolent alien who wanted to bring this knowledge 134 00:09:50,550 --> 00:09:54,650 but the other aliens objected, defeated him and in fact, 135 00:09:54,651 --> 00:09:59,251 turned the Brotherhood around until it became a sinister force in history. 136 00:09:59,252 --> 00:10:03,552 So, now the Brotherhood of the Snake is used to undermine the human race. 137 00:10:04,453 --> 00:10:06,553 According to ancient legend, 138 00:10:06,554 --> 00:10:09,554 the gods infiltrated the Brotherhood of the Snake 139 00:10:09,651 --> 00:10:13,251 and the knowledge of their true origin was distorted 140 00:10:13,252 --> 00:10:17,452 and humans would follow false gods and masters. 141 00:10:17,553 --> 00:10:21,253 According to the legend, the original Brotherhood of the Snake 142 00:10:21,254 --> 00:10:24,354 spread out into many diverse cults. 143 00:10:24,355 --> 00:10:30,755 And those cults in various incarnations are still fighting one another today. 144 00:10:32,256 --> 00:10:35,156 So maybe the truth is we're worshiping the same people 145 00:10:35,252 --> 00:10:36,852 more and more just in a different way. 146 00:10:36,853 --> 00:10:41,253 And we're understanding better that they're not necessarily gods. 147 00:10:42,354 --> 00:10:46,454 They're just advanced creatures, kind of like us, that are coming here 148 00:10:46,455 --> 00:10:48,255 and visiting us for a long time. 149 00:10:50,649 --> 00:10:53,318 Might extraterrestrials really have 150 00:10:53,356 --> 00:10:58,222 posed as false gods in order to keep humans under their control?

Argentina, 1999. 383 00:26:14,235 --> 00:26:19,774 At the top of this 2,200 ft. high volcano, archeologist Johan 384 00:26:19,776 --> 00:26:25,313 Reinhard discovers the frozen remains of three human mummies-- 385 00:26:25,315 --> 00:26:31,486 one boy and two girls-- all under the age of 16. 386 00:26:31,488 --> 00:26:36,691 Dating back approximately 500 years, they were also surrounded 387 00:26:36,693 --> 00:26:42,762 by a number of gold statues, silver, ornate textiles and pottery. 388 00:26:43,233 --> 00:26:47,135 The children had been drugged and left to die on top of the 389 00:26:47,137 --> 00:26:50,439 mountain as sacrifices to the Inca gods. 390 00:26:51,041 --> 00:26:53,841 The lncas would make human sacrifice after a major 391 00:26:53,843 --> 00:26:57,512 earth event, like a volcano or maybe an earthquake, and the 392 00:26:57,514 --> 00:27:00,882 sacrifice would always be a child between the age of six and 393 00:27:00,884 --> 00:27:05,720 14 years old-- an unblemished child, a perfect child. 394 00:27:05,722 --> 00:27:10,154 Slaughtering their own people, it was the ultimate sacrifice 395 00:27:10,221 --> 00:27:17,721 to kill someone in order to possibly get the gods to return 396 00:27:17,722 --> 00:27:26,722 and that truce how intense those encounters were thousands of years ago. 397 00:27:26,723 --> 00:27:31,623 For the Aztecs, human sacrifice was so important 398 00:27:31,624 --> 00:27:37,124 that they believed it to be necessary for the survival of the entire universe. 399 00:27:37,125 --> 00:27:41,525 The Aztecs sacrificed because they thought the gods needed blood 400 00:27:41,526 --> 00:27:45,826 to maintain the universe. And without human blood, 401 00:27:45,922 --> 00:27:47,422 the universe would die. 402 00:27:47,428 --> 00:27:50,331 At the consecration of one temple, they allegedly 403 00:27:50,333 --> 00:27:54,335 sacrificed 20,000 people, in which the persons were taken up 404 00:27:54,337 --> 00:27:56,604 to the top of these pyramid-like structures. 405 00:27:56,606 --> 00:28:00,775 They were cut open, the heart ripped out, held up, and then 406 00:28:00,777 --> 00:28:02,943 the bodies rolled down the steps. 407 00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:05,913 But we have accounts that 408 00:28:05,915 --> 00:28:09,182 there were actually volunteers for this. 409 00:28:10,019 --> 00:28:12,420 When we think of these gods that the ancients 410 00:28:12,422 --> 00:28:15,790 talked about, or the modern cults talk about, are we to 411 00:28:15,792 --> 00:28:19,427 assume that these aliens are wanting us to conduct blood 412 00:28:19,429 --> 00:28:20,495 sacrifice? 413 00:28:21,297 --> 00:28:25,867 Or could that just be our interpretation of what they want? 414 00:28:26,369 --> 00:28:29,570 Do alien visitors really desire the blood of 415 00:28:29,572 --> 00:28:34,775 humans in order to exert power and gain control over the earth? 416 00:28:34,877 --> 00:28:38,846 There are those who believe the answer is yes, and that there 417 00:28:38,848 --> 00:28:43,084 may be a greater, even more insidious agenda. 418 00:28:43,686 --> 00:28:47,555 And the clues can be found by examining cults that don't just 419 00:28:47,557 --> 00:28:49,258 call for the death of others, 420 00:28:50,460 --> 00:28:55,793 but require the faithful to sacrifice themselves. 421 00:28:59,793 --> 00:29:03,871 North Africa, the 4th Century A.D. 422 00:29:05,673 --> 00:29:09,374 Throughout the region, small bands of religious fanatics 423 00:29:09,376 --> 00:29:13,078 wielding clubs have been attacking random travelers on 424 00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:16,617 the road, while shouting praise to God. 425 00:29:18,719 --> 00:29:24,023 Their hope is to be met with retaliation and ultimately be killed. 426 00:29:25,025 --> 00:29:28,861 These precursors to modern suicide cults are called 427 00:29:28,863 --> 00:29:33,699 Circumcellions, and their followers purposely seek death 428 00:29:33,701 --> 00:29:37,436 so that they may ascend and join Jesus in the heavens. 429 00:29:38,438 --> 00:29:41,842 The Circumcellions, interestingly didn't kill themselves 430 00:29:41,843 --> 00:29:45,343 they tried to provoke other people into killing them so they were obnoxious. 431 00:29:45,444 --> 00:29:48,544 They would wield the travelers on the road 432 00:29:48,545 --> 00:29:54,045 and bludgeon them with a stick hoping to solicit a violent response 433 00:29:54,046 --> 00:29:58,246 because they believed if they died, they would achieve *** 434 00:29:58,247 --> 00:30:04,547 And they tried so hard to be killed, that when it didn't work 435 00:30:04,548 --> 00:30:07,248 they'd bend together and throw themselves off cliff 436 00:30:07,249 --> 00:30:08,849 so they'd commit mass suicide anyway. 437 00:30:11,350 --> 00:30:16,150 Christian suicide sects like the Circumcellions became so widespread, 438 00:30:16,251 --> 00:30:21,851 that they drove the church to declare suicide a sin in 364 A.D. 439 00:30:22,452 --> 00:30:27,252 But what was it that inspired so many early Christians to murder themselves. 440 00:30:29,548 --> 00:30:34,748 In the 2nd Century A.D., more than 200 years before the Circumcellions 441 00:30:34,749 --> 00:30:40,849 another group was born called the Gnostics, who are still around today. 442 00:30:40,850 --> 00:30:47,150 Gnostic believes that the world we live in wasn't made by God. 443 00:30:47,151 --> 00:30:49,251 It was made by lesser beings. 444 00:30:50,652 --> 00:30:55,251 The "Archons" are celestial beings, God made them, 445 00:30:55,252 --> 00:30:59,851 but they got out of God's control and they made Earth. 446 00:30:59,852 --> 00:31:03,852 This whole world isn't what it seems to be. 447 00:31:03,853 --> 00:31:09,453 And if you have this knowledge, then you can get into a higher world. 448 00:31:09,454 --> 00:31:16,654 The Archons were entities, they came to earth to divert 449 00:31:16,755 --> 00:31:19,855 the human species to their own ends 450 00:31:19,856 --> 00:31:25,756 Imagine a group of extraterrestrials that fed on human misery 451 00:31:25,757 --> 00:31:30,657 they are here to this very day, with every war, every famine 452 00:31:30,658 --> 00:31:34,958 every plague, every human mishap, those were the Archons. 453 00:31:34,959 --> 00:31:39,259 Could it be that some subconscious connection 454 00:31:39,260 --> 00:31:42,560 to an extraterrestrial past made groups like 455 00:31:42,761 --> 00:31:45,861 the Gnostics and the Circumcellions believe in 456 00:31:45,861 --> 00:31:48,561 the existence of a world better than their own. 457 00:31:51,962 --> 00:31:59,762 In Geneva, Switzerland, in 1984, two men Joseph Di Mambro and Luc Jouret 458 00:31:59,763 --> 00:32:03,851 formed a secret society called the Order of the Solar Temple. 459 00:32:03,852 --> 00:32:07,852 They preached that nirvana could be found on a planet 460 00:32:07,853 --> 00:32:09,953 circling the star Sirius 461 00:32:09,954 --> 00:32:17,754 Luc Jouret was a kind of a holistic healer that incorporated 462 00:32:17,755 --> 00:32:21,255 bits and pieces of different religions 463 00:32:21,556 --> 00:32:28,256 Primarily Christianity, the order of the Templars, 464 00:32:28,257 --> 00:32:36,457 claims about extraterrestrials, into what became his religious construct 465 00:32:36,558 --> 00:32:39,758 While Jouret was the figure head of the group 466 00:32:39,759 --> 00:32:44,359 it was Di Mambro's young daughter, who they called a cosmic child, 467 00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:46,660 that was to lead them to the new world. 468 00:32:47,761 --> 00:32:50,851 Joseph Di Mambro managed to convince his followers 469 00:32:50,852 --> 00:32:55,652 that his daughter, Emmanuelle, was actually a divine being 470 00:32:55,653 --> 00:33:01,353 And his communication through her allowed him to know 471 00:33:01,354 --> 00:33:06,554 that their future on a planet around Sirius was absolutely set 472 00:33:06,644 --> 00:33:10,248 all they had to do in the end was believe so strongly that 473 00:33:10,250 --> 00:33:13,017 they were actually willing to give up their lives. 474 00:33:16,821 --> 00:33:20,824 Jouret and Di Mambro preached that the apocalypse was near, 475 00:33:20,828 --> 00:33:25,263 and to reach this new planet, they needed to commit suicide and 476 00:33:25,265 --> 00:33:28,368 have their souls purified through fire. 477 00:33:29,770 --> 00:33:34,406 All their bodies were arranged in a network of chalets 478 00:33:34,408 --> 00:33:36,675 in France and Switzerland. 479 00:33:36,677 --> 00:33:38,176 And then there were timed 480 00:33:38,178 --> 00:33:42,148 explosives that set these chalets on fire. 481 00:33:42,149 --> 00:33:51,424 The bodies were essentially cremated. 482 00:33:57,794 --> 00:34:01,867 After the last wave of suicides in 1997, 483 00:34:01,969 --> 00:34:05,536 the death toll increased to 74 people. 484 00:34:06,808 --> 00:34:12,077 But authorities were even more shocked when, that same year, 485 00:34:12,079 --> 00:34:16,815 another fanatical group also committed mass suicide for a 486 00:34:16,817 --> 00:34:20,385 similar purpose-- Heaven's Gate. 487 00:34:20,387 --> 00:34:24,089 When the suicides occurred of Heaven's Gate, it 488 00:34:24,091 --> 00:34:28,360 was initially believed that this was just one more installment of 489 00:34:28,362 --> 00:34:29,628 the Solar Temple. 490 00:34:29,830 --> 00:34:34,299 It wasn't until later that reports established that this 491 00:34:34,301 --> 00:34:36,336 was another cult entirely. 492 00:34:37,638 --> 00:34:41,473 In the late 1980s, at the same time Heaven's Gate 493 00:34:41,475 --> 00:34:44,843 and the Order of the Solar Temple were gaining followers, 494 00:34:44,845 --> 00:34:49,748 yet another cult was formed in Uganda called the Movement for 495 00:34:49,750 --> 00:34:52,952 the Restoration of the Ten Commandments of God. 496 00:34:54,154 --> 00:34:58,390 Their leader, Joseph Kibwetere, claimed he was in direct 497 00:34:58,392 --> 00:34:59,958 communication with the Virgin 498 00:34:59,960 --> 00:35:02,893 Mary through electronics in his home. 499 00:35:03,430 --> 00:35:06,231 The way that the Virgin Mary was talking through 500 00:35:06,233 --> 00:35:09,701 telephones, through the television, bears eerie 501 00:35:09,703 --> 00:35:13,872 similarities with the way a lot of extraterrestrial-based cults 502 00:35:13,874 --> 00:35:18,076 claim to actually be getting communications from UFOs. 503 00:35:18,078 --> 00:35:19,711 Kibwetere predicted 504 00:35:19,713 --> 00:35:23,883 the world would end on December 31st, 1999. 505 00:35:23,884 --> 00:35:27,886 But when the date passed without incident, he decided to bring 506 00:35:27,888 --> 00:35:31,121 about the end of the world himself. 507 00:35:31,258 --> 00:35:33,258 He poisoned them. 508 00:35:33,260 --> 00:35:36,060 He threw their bodies down wells. 509 00:35:36,063 --> 00:35:38,597 Finally, more than 500 were 510 00:35:38,599 --> 00:35:44,366 locked within a wooden church building that was set on fire. 511 00:35:53,905 --> 00:35:58,750 In the end, more than 750 bodies were recovered. 512 00:35:58,952 --> 00:36:03,854 It was probably the most horrific cult tragedy in modern history. 513 00:36:05,959 --> 00:36:08,392 Three separate cults... 514 00:36:10,297 --> 00:36:15,966 all committing mass suicide or murder within a five-year period. 515 00:36:16,069 --> 00:36:19,337 Over 1,000 dead. 516 00:36:19,339 --> 00:36:24,309 And all three cults believed they had received messages from 517 00:36:24,311 --> 00:36:26,211 otherworldly beings. 518 00:36:26,613 --> 00:36:29,981 Messages that convinced them that their deaths would 519 00:36:29,983 --> 00:36:33,318 transport them into a better life in the heavens. 520 00:36:33,720 --> 00:36:35,353 Coincidence? 521 00:36:35,355 --> 00:36:39,424 Or might these cult members really have been the recipients 522 00:36:39,426 --> 00:36:43,628 of some sort of bizarre extraterrestrial communication? 523 00:36:44,330 --> 00:36:47,766 Ancient astronaut theorists believe that such an incredible 524 00:36:47,768 --> 00:36:49,701 notion is possible. 525 00:36:49,903 --> 00:36:55,970 And that the the evidence may be found inside the human brain. 526 00:37:01,828 --> 00:37:07,350 Tokyo, Japan. March 20th, 1995. 527 00:37:08,852 --> 00:37:13,656 Members of the doomsday cult Aum Shinrikyo-- or the Supreme 528 00:37:13,658 --> 00:37:17,826 Truth Sect-- place packages filled with a deadly sarin nerve 529 00:37:17,828 --> 00:37:22,731 agent on five different trains, all racing into the heart of the 530 00:37:22,733 --> 00:37:24,434 Tokyo underground. 531 00:37:25,736 --> 00:37:29,305 Cult members puncture the sarin-laced packages with 532 00:37:29,307 --> 00:37:30,841 sharpened umbrella tips... 533 00:37:32,843 --> 00:37:37,379 and their leader's apocalyptic vision nearly comes true when 534 00:37:37,381 --> 00:37:41,485 cries for help start to echo throughout the subway. 535 00:37:43,387 --> 00:37:49,120 This attack killed 13 people and caused great injury to 50 more 536 00:37:49,127 --> 00:37:52,296 and temporary blindness *** effects to more than 1,000 people. 537 00:37:56,464 --> 00:38:01,764 After an exhausted investigation, it was determined 538 00:38:01,965 --> 00:38:05,565 that the attacks were carefully and single-handed orchestrated 539 00:38:05,566 --> 00:38:09,966 by Aum Shinrikyo's cult leader Shoko Asahara. 540 00:38:09,967 --> 00:38:13,767 He had visions about the end of the world 541 00:38:13,768 --> 00:38:17,768 and he decided that he would put the script together 542 00:38:17,769 --> 00:38:21,369 and he would heist something out to the end of the world. 543 00:38:22,370 --> 00:38:27,570 And he was a leader of a cult that was responsible for perhaps 544 00:38:27,571 --> 00:38:31,371 the most heinous terrorist attack in Japanese history. 545 00:38:34,167 --> 00:38:37,706 When Japanese officials raided Aum Shinrikyo's 546 00:38:37,708 --> 00:38:41,043 research and development facility after the subway 547 00:38:41,045 --> 00:38:45,881 attack, they found explosives, a military helicopter, 548 00:38:45,883 --> 00:38:49,652 weapons-grade strains of anthrax and Ebola virus. 549 00:38:50,354 --> 00:38:51,987 But the strangest item they 550 00:38:51,989 --> 00:38:55,356 seized may also have been the most deadly: 551 00:38:56,558 --> 00:38:58,593 a mind control device. 552 00:38:58,963 --> 00:39:01,964 Asahara convinced his followers to wear a type of 553 00:39:01,966 --> 00:39:03,866 helmet called a PSI helmet. 554 00:39:03,868 --> 00:39:06,802 This stood for "Perfect Salvation lnitiation." 555 00:39:06,804 --> 00:39:10,437 This helmet supposedly would actually connect electromagnetic 556 00:39:10,509 --> 00:39:14,009 leads to his brain waves and transmit information and thought 557 00:39:14,010 --> 00:39:15,610 directly to his followers. 558 00:39:16,711 --> 00:39:20,549 Is it possible that electrical or magnetic impulses 559 00:39:20,551 --> 00:39:24,086 can influence something that simulates the feeling of 560 00:39:24,088 --> 00:39:26,990 spiritual experience in the human brain? 561 00:39:28,192 --> 00:39:32,094 According to findings by Canadian neuroscience researcher 562 00:39:32,096 --> 00:39:34,163 and university professor Dr. 563 00:39:34,165 --> 00:39:38,901 Michael Persinger, magnetic fields can, in fact, affect the 564 00:39:38,903 --> 00:39:41,336 brain's temporal lobe. 565 00:39:41,338 --> 00:39:44,873 And he claims to have proven it with experiments involving a 566 00:39:44,875 --> 00:39:47,642 device he calls "The God Helmet". 567 00:39:48,179 --> 00:39:50,813 Persinger's God Helmet is one of the most 568 00:39:50,815 --> 00:39:52,748 interesting new developments in 569 00:39:52,750 --> 00:39:55,083 neuroscience and the study of neuroscience. 570 00:39:55,453 --> 00:39:59,555 By actually inducing fluctuating magnetic fields in the human 571 00:39:59,557 --> 00:40:04,093 brain, these fluctuating magnetic fields have been shown 572 00:40:04,095 --> 00:40:07,563 in many, many cases to give people what can only be called 573 00:40:07,565 --> 00:40:08,764 a religious experience. 574 00:40:09,366 --> 00:40:12,500 Some have very shamanistic experiences. 575 00:40:12,636 --> 00:40:16,205 Some have experiences which absolutely mirror alien 576 00:40:16,207 --> 00:40:18,040 abduction or alien contact. 577 00:40:18,642 --> 00:40:21,377 It has left some people very, very changed. 578 00:40:22,379 --> 00:40:25,481 If the God Helmet can induce spiritual or 579 00:40:25,483 --> 00:40:30,285 otherworldy experiences, could more advanced alien technology 580 00:40:30,287 --> 00:40:33,692 have influenced mankind in similar ways? 581 00:40:36,494 --> 00:40:42,397 In 2005, geneticist Dr. Dean Hamer published the results 582 00:40:42,399 --> 00:40:46,101 of his experiments testing whether or not human beings are 583 00:40:46,103 --> 00:40:48,772 hardwired to believe in God. 584 00:40:50,474 --> 00:40:55,010 After collecting DNA samples and conducting a series of 585 00:40:55,012 --> 00:40:59,581 psychological tests on 2,000 people, Hamer examined the 586 00:40:59,583 --> 00:41:03,253 correlation between human genes and spirituality. 587 00:41:04,055 --> 00:41:07,690 We found one particular gene that seemed to match up. 588 00:41:07,792 --> 00:41:09,725 That gene is called VMAT2, 589 00:41:09,727 --> 00:41:13,326 which stands for vesicular mono amine transporter 2 590 00:41:13,327 --> 00:41:16,227 but for handiness we just call it the "God gene". 591 00:41:17,427 --> 00:41:20,927 Some people see these *** very straight forward ideas about 592 00:41:20,928 --> 00:41:25,128 an evolution benefit or being capable of believing in God 593 00:41:25,129 --> 00:41:29,329 as saying this may be a sign of alien genetic manipulation 594 00:41:31,330 --> 00:41:36,629 Might extraterrestrial beings, really have exploited mankind's genetic 595 00:41:36,630 --> 00:41:41,530 and biological inclination to believe in the existence of a higher power. 596 00:41:43,031 --> 00:41:48,431 If our DNA is made up of both extraterrestrial and human genetics 597 00:41:48,432 --> 00:41:54,332 then we have to wonder is it possible that an extraterrestrial race 598 00:41:54,433 --> 00:42:00,133 could influence us more because our genetics are made up of them as well. 599 00:42:00,134 --> 00:42:03,734 If extraterrestrials have been influencing us 600 00:42:03,735 --> 00:42:07,735 and our spirituality, and into creating these cults, 601 00:42:07,736 --> 00:42:12,625 it would seem that extraterrestrials that have genetically manipulated us 602 00:42:12,626 --> 00:42:18,426 have wanted us to have special brains that would be receptive 603 00:42:18,427 --> 00:42:19,727 to certain influences. 604 00:42:20,628 --> 00:42:24,499 The fact that we accept gods as mainstream and 605 00:42:24,501 --> 00:42:27,769 think of aliens as just kind of like a weird idea is just 606 00:42:27,771 --> 00:42:30,639 because of where we are at this point in time. 607 00:42:30,641 --> 00:42:32,908 And, you know, a thousand years from now it may be just the 608 00:42:32,910 --> 00:42:35,177 opposite, and everyone will be going like, "Of course, you 609 00:42:35,179 --> 00:42:36,245 believe in aliens, but you don't 610 00:42:36,247 --> 00:42:38,046 believe in that God stuff, do you?" 611 00:42:41,552 --> 00:42:45,087 Might aliens have used some sort of electrical or 612 00:42:45,089 --> 00:42:48,991 biomagnetic technology to compel cult leaders like 613 00:42:48,993 --> 00:42:54,596 Marshall Applewhite, Shoko Asahara, and their followers, 614 00:42:54,598 --> 00:43:00,736 to perform horrific and otherwise insane acts of murder, 615 00:43:00,738 --> 00:43:05,374 torture and mass suicide? 616 00:43:05,376 --> 00:43:09,645 Did these men and women-- as did millions of others, going back 617 00:43:09,647 --> 00:43:12,247 centuries-- merely come into 618 00:43:12,249 --> 00:43:15,149 contact with a force they didn't understand, 619 00:43:16,451 --> 00:43:18,952 a force they misinterpreted? 620 00:43:19,322 --> 00:43:21,890 Many modern day cults that are led by, let's 621 00:43:21,892 --> 00:43:25,727 say, madmen could possibly be misinterpreting events that have 622 00:43:25,729 --> 00:43:29,197 taken place throughout history, whether it be things that relate 623 00:43:29,199 --> 00:43:33,568 to the Bible or astronomical things happening in the heavens. 624 00:43:33,570 --> 00:43:37,105 But whether cult leaders are misinterpreting 625 00:43:37,107 --> 00:43:41,576 extraterrestrial messages or are being directly guided by them, 626 00:43:41,578 --> 00:43:45,647 might we someday discover that the other worlds they preach 627 00:43:45,649 --> 00:43:48,217 about actually exist? 628 00:43:48,719 --> 00:43:53,756 And is their ultimate goal to help us or to harm us? 55294
