Actors can be meditators very easily, because they are always acting somebody else's role, so they can witness that it is not their identity. They may become Jesus Christ in a film, but they know they are not Jesus Christ. So, to recognise that their performance is not their being, is easy. To me, acting is one of the best professions for meditators because it will teach you that your identity can change every day. An actor is moving from one film to another. In one film he is one thing, in another film, he is something else, in a third film, he is somebody else. So, slowly, he can become aware — that identities come and go. Finally, he can recognise that his own personality is nothing but an act taught by his parents, and the priests, and the politicians, and the professors.

Aliens might be living among us, Harvard academics are suggesting, perhaps residing in an advanced technological civilization deep underground or, maybe, in a base inside the moon.That’s right — a new paper by researchers at Harvard University’s Human Flourishing Program posits that “unidentified anomalous phenomena” (UAP), more commonly referred to as UFOs and extraterrestrial beings, could be living underground, on the moon or even walking among humans.And, yes, the authors are fully aware the report will raise eyebrows and likely be met with skepticism by the scientific community, but encourage “consideration in a spirit of epistemic humility and openness.”The new study, titled The cryptoterrestrial hypothesis: A case for scientific openness to a concealed earthly explanation for Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena, provides four possible explanations for the ongoing “concern regarding UAPs.”“Hypotheses for such phenomena tend to fall into two classes: a conventional terrestrial explanation (e.g., human-made technology), or an extraterrestrial explanation (i.e., advanced civilisations from elsewhere in the cosmos),” they said.“However, there is also a third minority class of hypothesis: an unconventional terrestrial explanation, outside the prevailing consensus view of the universe.”The authors, Tim Lomas (Harvard University), Brendan Case (Harvard University) and Michael Paul Masters (Montana Tech of the University of Montana), make the case for the possibility of so-called “cryptoterrestrials” to explain unidentified and unexplainable observations made around the world each year.They suggest a number of “cryptoterrestrial” hypotheses (CTH) to argue that aliens could walk among us, including:The authors, however, do
