Albino Children : Innocence Versus Ignorance

At the age of about 8 or 9 years old, I saw a young boy who was “white everywhere”! His skin, his hair, his eyebrows! Asked my mother about him and she casually remarked: “He’s an albino”. That was the entire discussion. I accepted her answer and moved on.

Fast forward. I am an adult who has lived for several decades. You think you’ve seen so much that nothing will shock you. Then you learn of an atrocity. What people do to albinos. Many of the victims, innocent children.

There are people who believe body parts of albinos have magical powers. As a result, __________. No doubt you can fill in the blank. But if you can’t, here are two words that might conjure up some images in your mind. Mutilation. Murder.

The article reference below supplies additional information.

There is a community in Panama that adores their albino children. They are considered blessed and people call them “children of the moon”.

According to Kuna mythology, the sipus or the albinos are the only ones who can slay the dragon during lunar eclipses. Even though we know through the study of astronomy that there is no dragon which causes a lunar eclipse, it’s still nice that the customs and traditions linked to this myth resulted in protecting those sweet children, instead of harming them. Doesn’t that just relieve and warm your heart?

Angels or Aliens? (My Thoughts. No Proof!)

I have always wondered what life was like in Bible times. Mainly because of the miracles that were described. I would love to have been an eye-witness to such events.  Also because it would have been awesome to have an encounter with an angel.  I have a theory about all those alleged close encounters with aliens. (A theory. No proof!)

• I don’t believe in aliens from other planets.

• I do believe in angels from another world; the heavenly realm.

My theory is that all those so-called “proofs” that aliens once visited the earth – IF there really are unexplained marks, residue, etc. that indicate activity of a non-human “essence” – my “best guess” is those non-humans weren’t aliens; they were angels. Show me all the proof you have, it won’t overrule or override my guess!  My genuine belief.

Forgive me if my expressions of thoughts come out on paper the way they usually are in my brain — scattered … but make sense to me! 

Continuing this discussion by incorporating a reference to another article – What is the Merkabah? – because so many people out there are interested in the topic of either aliens or angels or both, and the study of things that seem to be related, like merkabah.

“The Merkabah was thought to be a divine light vehicle (a spiritual space ship of sorts) that transported people from one dimension to another and thus enabled people to access, connect with and communicate with beings of other dimensions. …”

Also sharing a link below to another site. Whether you agree with me or not on my angels versus aliens stance, you will still find this topic of “human angels” fascinating and worth exploring.  People committed to good works = human angels. 

• We Are Human Angels

Finally, my readings led me to this marvelous YouTube video which has background music featuring the soulful serene vocals of Sarah MacLaughlan; song titled “Delerium”.  

• Video Link:  Merkabah, The Chariot of Ascension 

“Heaven holds a sense of wonder”. (Quote lifted from the song lyrics.)

Aliens. Angels. Merkabah. You can see how these things all connect. Right? (O.o)
