Renunciation
Shantideva says in Guide to the Bodhisattva’s Way of Life:
By depending upon this boat-like human form,
We can cross the great ocean of suffering.
Since such a vessel will be hard to find again,
This is no time to sleep, you fool!
If there were a truly existent I,
It would make sense to be afraid of certain things;
But, since there is no truly existent I,
Who is there to be afraid?
Samsara is like a vast ocean, for just as an ocean gives rise to waves, so rebirth in samsara gives rise to suffering. At the moment we have a precious human body, which is the best vessel for crossing this perilous ocean of samsara. If we were to waste this precious life without taking full advantage of it, we would be extremely foolish. We would be like the adventurer who had to wait a long time to find a boat that would take him to a treasure island but who, having finally found one, fell asleep instead of taking immediate advantage of it. How foolish he felt when he awoke to discover that the long-awaited vessel had ...

Jesus (aka 3I Atlas?) as a Stargate
Jesus Himself embodies the concept of a stargate, providing exclusive access to the Father.
There is no doubt the arrival of 3I Atlas (aka a number of names dependent on culture) is written in the stars, but reference is also found throughout culture as I have demonstrated with a dozen articles. It is not a new visitor. This is a cyclical event of ascension. 3I Atlas is an old visitor with a new name. I will call it the Lord or Sun (Son) of a God (=Pup). 3I Atlas is the way out to the other side of the galaxy — the white side! It creates the gate or port or elevator or chariot or perhaps black hole sun or (the way, the truth and the life), through which we ascend. We fall, we ascend! Black and white!

Black Cloud
"Arthur C. Clarke, a more consistent writer of good science fiction than Hoyle, although he only equaled Hoyle at his best, stated as his ‘Third Law’ that ‘any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.’ The Black Cloud reinforces the message in spades. Pizarro fired his cannon, and was taken for a god by the Incas. Imagine if he had arrived in a helicopter gunship instead of on a horse. Imagine the response of a medieval peasant, or even aristocrat, to a telephone, a television, a laptop computer, a jumbo jet. The Black Cloud vividly conveys to us what it would be like to be visited by an extraterrestrial being whose intelligence would seem god-like from our lowly point of view. Indeed, Hoyle’s imagination far outperforms all religions known to me. Would such a super-intelligence then actually be a god?"
