Ironically, this essay about how UFOs solicit the shadows of our consciousness ends up being consumed by subconscious apathy and far-too-stretched faith. Between the banal reality we can observe and the wild fantasy we can imagine exists a pretty boring, almost unbelievable story that precipitates the truth.

Working a bit backwards from this, and indeed back from the Space Race championed by JFK and others, I decided that perhaps, just perhaps, one way of interpreting the Jericho battles and the Hebrew victory was that Joshua conquered the Moon itself. That he literally led an army bearing the Ark of the Covenant into Outer Space, and demolished the Moon and came back with all the spoils of war. [Now this handily explains why the Moon was so barren already!]

I found other cues too, such as "Gilgal" referring to the rolling of circumcision stones (but could it also mean "orbit"...) and perhaps there are multiple pericopes in our Old Testament that can be interpreted as conquering Outer Space itself... wandering in the wilderness 40 years before attaining Heaven, anyone?

It is all quite crazy but I feel like it handily explains the fervor and excitement that accompanied our push to land on the Moon itself. That Christians saw the USA as a modern-day Joshua who would actually make the trip and claim the Moon for ourselves. If you go over the details of the Jericho battles you will see that they are intricately planned, engineered, and executed. They were the pinnacle of liturgy at the time and could never have been realized without divine assistance and solid human leadership. And likewise were our Moon journeys of the Space Race.

Now today we may have another issue, as Joshua also took on "Ai" itself...
