Answer 2

I remember this video! Wow!

Short answer to the question: no, I still think I hate people (in general), and since I'm not aware of any aliens that I know, I can't say that I like them, either.

There are several problems with what Collier is saying (in spite of the prediction he seems to make about 9/11, which I cast doubt on below).

Being advanced beings, what they say reflects Zoroastrian belief (this is an old religion which had beliefs similar to what Christ taught). There's nothing particularly new or what I'd consider advanced in any of it. In addition, at least two principles expressed are things I know to be false, from my own experience. If these beings are so advanced and know precisely what's coming, then how can they base what they know on false principles?

1) He talks about our being entrenched in belief systems, and yet the way he speaks about his aliens is that they have a significant entrenchment in their ideas.

2) What he seems to allude to is an event in July or August of 2001, but he seems to be hinting at more of an extraterrestrial event than something earthbound... when pressed, he says it's "basically nothing" but that "we're choosing our own future" (a claim that would be true whether or not anything happened).

3) The false principle of love overriding all things is wonderful for science fiction, but does not work in practice. If it overrides all things, it may be used as a method of control, just as any emotion (hate, jealousy, joy, complacency, etc.), and is therefore not valid as expressed. However, more love in the world would be a good thing.

4) He speaks about consequences, but nothing he says leads me to believe that he has any personal consequences for his action, in particular belief about bringing some of the truths and truisms that he expresses forward.

5) He expresses that there are highly personal things that he won't talk about (which, of course, are perfectly acceptable, being that we should all be respectful of one another's privacy). However, later on in the video he talks about things we "aren't ready for yet" (along the lines of Jack Nicholson's line in "A Few Good Men": "You want the truth? You can't handle the truth!"). This leads me to believe it's more of a power game that a genuine desire to maintain privacy.

6) Much of what he says has the same bland, vague neutrality that is present when psychics (the fake ones) speak... and politicians, too. A lot of it is intentionally vague in order to maintain a kind of highly mystical air. Personally, I think this is about as specific as Collier could get, based on the idea that he had some really great ideas, but didn't know what he was talking about.

7) He tries to focus on the message, using the UFO background to pass it. I will agree that the message is a good one, but there are many other ways to disseminate an idea like this without having to resort to using the "alien thing" to spread it. However, overall I disagree with just the few false spots and can't accept his word that it originated from an alien species.

There are more points, but I think that's enough... the five minutes it'll take for the page to load after this should make enough of the point to cast doubt.

However, even in spite of the fact that I think he's lying about the UFO thing, the message is indeed good food for thought, and I'd love to hear more of it.

Alex has a good imagination.
