NASA wants to assess how humans will react if alien life is found on other planets and discovery could impact our ideas of gods and creation. According to reports, the agency is hiring 24 theologians to take part in its program at the Center for Theological Inquiry (CTI) at Princeton University in New Jersey, which NASA gave a $1.1 million grant to in 2014. CTI is described as building 'bridges of under understanding by convening theologians, scientists, scholars, and policymakers to think together. The program's aim is to answer questions that have confused us for a long time such as 'What is life? What does it mean to be alive? Where do we draw the line between humans and aliens? What are the possibilities for sentient life in other places?'Presently, NASA has two rovers on Mars, and several probes orbiting Jupiter and Saturn. It also launched the James Web Telescope yesterday that will study galaxy, star and planet formation in the universe. The agency is in hopes to discover life outside Earth. The Rev Dr Andrew Davison, a priest and theologian at the University of Cambridge with a doctorate in biochemistry from Oxford, is among 24 theologians chosen for the program.'Religious traditions would be an important feature in how humanity would work through any such confirmation of life elsewhere,' Davidson shared in a blog post on the University of Cambridge site.'Because of that, it features as part of NASA's ongoing aim to support work on 'the societal implications of astrobiology', working with various partner organizations, including the Center of Theological Inquiry at Princeton.' Davison is set to publish a book next year, titled Astrobiology and Christian Doctrine, which notes he believes we are getting closer to finding life on other planets.About Jim WillisA theologian, historian, and musician, Jim Willis earned his Bachelor's degree from the Eastman School of Music, and his Master’s degree from Andover Newton Theological School.

ST. BERNARD PARISH, La. — An amateur archeologist says he’s discovered the ruins of an ancient civilization off the coast of St. Bernard Parish.He claims there are large underwater granite mounds near the Chandeleur Islands that may have once been the site of the lost city.The Chandeleur Islands are a chain of uninhabited barrier islands located in the Gulf of Mexico, 50 miles east of New Orleans.Twelve thousand years ago, before a dramatic sea-level rise at the end of the last Ice Age, this area may have been dry land.Retired architect George Gelé believes the site, now underwater was once a major city, predating the Maya, Inca, and Aztec civilizations in Mexico and in Central and South America. He dubbed the city “Crecsentis.”“What’s down there are hundreds of buildings that are covered with sand and silt and that are geographically related to the Great Pyramid at Giza,” Gelé said.Giza is a city in northern Egypt where ancient pyramids and the Sphinx are located.Gelé claims to have found mysterious granite masses under Chandeleur Sound.Granite is not native to Louisiana or Mississippi.“Somebody floated a billion stones down the Mississippi River and assembled them outside what would later become New Orleans,” Gelé said.Gelé has spent nearly 50 years studying the site.He produced underwater sonar images of what he claims are remnants of major buildings, including a large pyramid.“Which produces an electromagnetic energy that’s incredible,” Gelé said. “It is apparently 280 feet tall.”St. Bernard Parish shrimper Ricky Robin says he’s experienced the energy firsthand. He claims the compass on his boat spun completely around near the area where Gelé pinpointed the tip of the pyramid and that’s not all.“Everything will go out on your boat, all your electronics,” Robin said. “Like as if you were in the Bermuda Triangle. That’s exactly what we got here.”Robin took Gelé on four excursions to the site.He said for years local fisherman have talked about catching strange square rocks in their nets near the Chandeleur Islands.“I thought right away it was pieces of the pyramid because it was right around where that compass spun,” Robin said.There are other theories about the rocks.One study by Texas A&M in the late 1980s suggests the masses are from shipwrecks or piles of ballast stones from Spanish or French vessels.The stones may have been dumped overboard to lighten the weight of ships stuck on sandbars or entering shallower waters enroute to New Orleans.Gelé said some of the artifacts collected at the site tell a different story."This is architecture,” he said pointing to one of the artifacts. “This is not ballast. This is the outer surface, and this is a rain gutter.”People who believe in the granite mounds claim there is enough evidence that something is out there in the water. But they can’t explain how it got built, by who or why.“The older people, we’ve seen a lot of things,” Robin said. “There’s a possibility it could be God knows what.”“All I know is somebody built a city 12,000 years ago and it’s stuck out in Chandeleur,” Gelé said. “Whether or not they had someone on their shoulder who flew in with a UFO, I don’t know. All I know is they left a whole lot of granite rocks out there.”Gelé has visited the site 44 times.He hopes future dives, modern sonar technology and satellite imaging will help him unlock some of the secrets now trapped below 300 feet of silt, sand, and water off the coast of St. Bernard Parish.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/earth-ancients--2790919/support.

Deepen your spiritual understanding of the internal journey of the dying and the adventurous after-death journey to come• Describes the Celtic rituals of honoring death and dying and offers prayers, meditations, and blessings for the time of transition• Offers reflective questions and exercises to explore your beliefs, attitudes, and fears around your own death• Includes the sacred meditation of traveling with the dead as offered by an anam-áire or Celtic soul carerTHE CELTS BELIEVED in the transmigration of the soul, in the magical rhythm of life with a particular order of coming and going for each soul. As they celebrated every new stage of their lives with a ritual, they also honoured the passing of a soul--the death of the physical body.In her decades of work with the dying, Phyllida Anam-Áire has revived the ancient Celtic tradition of watching with the dying and traveling with the soul after death. Integrating the wisdom of her Celtic ancestors with modern knowledge of the death process, she shows how a peaceful transition for the leaving person is possible and how this process can be consciously supported by relatives or friends.Reflective exercises and meditations help us become aware of our beliefs and fears around dying and acknowledge our own death as a natural transformation, allowing our essence to move on into love. Once we come to terms with our own mortality, we will find it easier to assist family and friends in their last hours in this life. Rituals, prayers, and blessings in this guide offer compassionate support for the one transitioning and for those left behind. Phyllida also shares the sacred meditation of traveling with the dead as held by a Celtic Anam-Áire, or soul carer. In addition, she addresses many practical questions around the care for the dying and their environment during and after the process, stressing the importance of silence.A practical yet soulful guidebook, A Celtic Book of Dying deepens our spiritual understanding of the internal journey of the dying and the adventurous after death journey still to embark on. Dying is the most natural step we will ever take.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/earth-ancients--2790919/support.
