“I guess this is the first time in a video that I ever showed my arms since my arms have been scarred, ’cause my arms are-are pretty badly scarred. I guess people are always wondering so I might as well say that, um, that the way that my arms got the way that they look, um, is was from abcesses, which came from shooting huge amounts of drugs. The results could have been a lot worse, so I’m happy to have the scars from a period of my life where I was living destructively, just as a… as a sign of what I’ve been through. And, uh, these days, I-I’m, you know, being healthy and taking care of my body is so important to me. But looking at it here, is seems like my arms have gotten better since then, so… That’s nice to see.”

Paso las horas sin hablar, menos a veces, que me vuelvo loco. Y mi cabeza, ¿dónde está?: la estoy perdiendo de poquito en poco. Y al sonreír me has hecho otra vez soñar; ya no podía resistir esta puta realidad. Y harto ya de vivir, por dentro empezó a gritar, y nunca ya nadie le oyó decir ni una palabra más. (888
Levantarse, tomar el tranvía, cuatro horas de oficina o de fábrica, la comida, el tranvía, cuatro horas de trabajo, la comida, el sueño y lunes, martes, miércoles, jueves, viernes y sábado con el mismo ritmo es una ruta que se sigue fácilmente durante la mayor parte del tiempo. Sólo que un día se alza el «por qué» y todo comienza con esa lasitud teñida de asombro. «Comienza»: esto es importante. La lasitud está al final de los actos de una vida maquinal, pero inicia al mismo tiempo el movimiento de la conciencia. La despierta y provoca la continuación. La continuación es la vuelta inconsciente a la cadena o el despertar definitivo. Al final del despertar viene, con el tiempo, la consecuencia: suicidio o restablecimiento…

Y debo decir que confío plenamente en la casualidad de haberte conocido. Que nunca intentaré olvidarte, y que si lo hiciera, no lo conseguiría.

Billy Meier’s controversial photographs of the UFOs, 1970s. Billy Meier is the source of many controversial photographs of alleged unidentified flying objects (UFOs), which he presents in support of his claim that he is in contact with extraterrestrial beings. Meier reports regular contacts with extraterrestrials; he calls the Plejaren. Meier claims that the Plejaren look similar in appearance to humans, that the Plejaren homeworld is called Erra, and that it is located in a dimension which is a fraction of a second shifted from our own dimension, about 80 light years beyond the Pleiades, an open star cluster. The Plejaren were given the name Pleiadians by Meier up to 1995. Meier claimed his first extraterrestrial contacts occurred in 1942 at the age of five with an elderly extraterrestrial man named Sfath. Contacts with Sfath lasted until 1953, shortly before Sfath died. From 1953 to 1964, Meier’s contacts continued with an extraterrestrial woman called Asket, who is not a Plejaren. Meier says that after an eleven-year break, contacts resumed again. He has claimed that he has also visited other worlds and galaxies along with another universe with these extraterrestrials. Many people still claim that Meier faked hundreds of UFO photos he has taken to achieve some form of personal fame and/or monetary gain for himself, despite the positive analyses performed by several competent scientists and photo experts. Most of these allegations are not even backed up by scientific research, or they contain false, distorted data. In addition, it is a known fact that numerous photos of Billy’s were carefully manipulated in the past to show strings and similar anomalies and were widely distributed in attempts to discredit him. However, the decision as to their authenticity ultimately lies with each and every individual.
