It’s been many years since I heard about the Chupacabra. I remember a visit to México City in 1995, they had a kid’s coloring book of the Tres Cochinos and the Chupacabra. The figure was more of a Dracula image rather than a monster. My friend explained to me that in México the Chupacabra was a metaphor for the rich elite ruling class and the image had the likeness of former Mexican President Porfirio Diaz.
This week I wanted to bring up the alien question. With so many of the stories circulating about the release of UFO files. The obvious response is, “okay you have documents that hold witness accounts, so where are the actual bodies or ships?” I grew up with an atheist father who always scoffed at my mother for taking us to church on Sunday. He believed that there were too many stars and planets in space for our world to be the only one with intelligent life. Today, I often question if we are that intelligent after all? He certainly wasn’t smart enough to keep my mom.
The term of Chupacabra became popular in Texas back in the 1980’s because farm owners were reporting their cows and goats being mutilated and the forensics had concluded that the type of precise cutting and removal of all the blood and sometimes other organs was potentially an alien or advanced technology. Then some people made a declaration that they had seen this monster that was sucking the blood of the goats – Chupa (suck) Cabra (goat).
The phenomenon was a short lived but entertaining notion. In México, they even wrote a catchy song that was like a cumbia. Saying here comes the Chupacabra. The song has some clear references to the government and the greedy people. All the crop circles have also been a great display of unexplainable evidence. They are examples of what is known as an encounter of the second kind. People today have documented up to the encounters of the fifth kind. Still, no real interactions.
A Mayan elder I met during the 2012 craze, when people believed the calendar was ending, his name is Miguel Angel Chiquin Yat. He conducted a beautiful fire ceremony here in Denver and many participants had witnessed a strange green light in the sky that zig zagged away after people began to point and take notice. When I asked him about that, he just laughed and said “Good, the cosmic brothers were with us”. So often we imagine other life forms arriving to our planet in spaceships because that is how European colonizers arrived in their ships all over the world and perpetuated a genocidal conquest that still has scarred native people. Then obviously there are archeology and anthropology professors that could only use theories about aliens that helped us build our amazing pyramids and temples because they could not imagine how we built them. They do not want to credit our ancestors with having such superior knowledge to Egypt or Mesopotamia.
The truth we all can understand is that our planet ‘Mother Earth’ is spinning through the galaxy and we all get bombarded with cosmic space dust. Some Indian tribes claim their ancestors were star people. We have an abundant of myths and oral traditions that describe visits. Other people even think of Angels of God as potentially being aliens from another planet or other dimensions. Truth is something that you have to reconcile. There are plenty of people that walk around with their head in the clouds. They also tend to bump into things on the ground, and it is my recommendation that they put more focus on the present situation.
I have been suspicious that the government and tech moguls like Elon Musk would love to try and trick the world with some fake alien landing. I prefer the wisdom that others speak when they say, “aliens that are advanced enough to arrive here, would not chose to interact because we are too primitive and violent.” More often, true seekers have experienced astral projection and there is documentation of group communication that were documented by Ricardo Gonzalez from Peru. He comes to Crestone, Colorado where we have some great enthusiasts.
My commentary about aliens relates to a funny conversation I had with my friend and an elder Peyote road-man named Mack. At the time, I totally refuted the idea of aliens and thought it was just a way to justify spending billions for NASA and so little on public education. My friend Hector tried to convince me that there are two types of aliens. One group wants to steal the natural resources of our planet, and the other group wants to help us; so I asked him, “What kind of alien are you?”
Mack laughed and said, “My grandfather always said – Father sky and Mother earth – and that men were like the birds in the sky and wanted to wander all over the place. But when the right woman came across him, she would pull him down and his flying days were over. Whether or not aliens exist, is less important as to WHY they come. Similarly, when you have an encounter with a woman, as a young man, how do you interact? Are you trying to Lord over the woman? Keep her barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen all day? Or do you come in peace and build a mutual relationship with her that shares in the decisions and motivations for your relationship?” How can we human beings begin to recognize the Earth Mother as a sacred woman and stop polluting her rivers and digging holes in her side?
