"Woo-woo" is a condescending, disparaging term often used by those at Bad Astronomy and other watering holes of self-styled "skeptics." It refers to the sort of "strange but true" (or at least strange) material that when told to someone might cause their eyes to widen and them to exclaim, "Woooooo..."<br><br>Here's an example of something from that thread that smells funny: <br><br><!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>"Who I am is not something that is easily put into words. I come from ancient family. Several generations past, my ancestors decided to become "scouts" for lack of a better word, in order to find the few who might be able to evolve ( this is in part genetic, but only in part. ) and inspire them to do so in lieu of what is coming. In order to do this, we had to blend into society and my family did what had to be done in order to accomplish this.<br><br>Messages were left in everything from our ancient texts to genetic coding. Repetition throughout the eons, logic, and a fine tuned capacity to recognize instinct are the decoding methods. Read your Bible from Genesis to Revelation, or any other religious texts you might prefer. Read it as you would a scientist. Note the repetition of events even though names have changed. Note the similarities between "mystical" and geological events. This is but one way we have left messages to ourselves. This has been a recurring scenario and the imprint is so strong in the cumulative consciousness that more prophets are born with every turn of the wheel. This imprint can be honed upon using various scientific techniques which are far more accurate than symbols interpreted in the minds of the prophets which are oft flavoured with their own perceptions.<br><br>What have we done ? Everything that can be done. This is far too big to quell. Humans could have made it easier with their decisions, but they have not, so we do as much as we can."</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--><br><br>Claims to not be human. There's a big red flag for you right there.<br><br>"But in general, take my advice, when you meet anything that is going to be Human and isn’t yet, or used to be Human once and isn’t now, or ought to be Human and isn’t, you keep your eyes on it and feel for your hatchet.”—Mr. Beaver in The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe <br><br>We all come from ancient families, most of us just don't know which.<br><br>"Several generations," then seemingly following that is "eons," the longest division of geological time. Supposedly leaving messages to others of their kind in religious texts such as the Bible. You've got inconsistency of scale, followed by incorrect usage, followed by grandiosity.<br><br>"Read your Bible." That "your" to separate the speaker from mere humans such as yourself is a prime marker for received alien-speak. Aliens and channelled beings are always talking about "one of your years" or something costing "ten of your dollars," no matter where they say they come from or what they say they are. Strange how everybody in the Otherworld has the same verbal tic.<br><br>There are people who really get off on trying to see how much bullshit they can spin in a forum before someone wises up. It's a peculiar kind of creativity for them, but also reinforces for them how everybody is stupider than they are.<br><br><br><br> <p></p><i></i>
