- Universe people
Universe people or Cosmic people of light powers ( _cs. Vesmírní lidé sil světla) is a Czech religious movement centered around Ivo A. Benda. Its belief system is based upon the existence of extraterrestrial civilizations communicating with Benda and other "contacters" since October 1997 telepathically and later even by direct personal contact. According to Benda those civilizations operate a fleet of spaceships, led by Ashtar Sheran, orbiting the Earth. They closely watch and help the good and are waiting to transport their followers into another dimension. The Universe People's teachings incorporate various elements from
ufology (some foreign "contacters" are credited, though often also renounced after a time as misguided or deceptive),Christianity (Jesus was a "fine-vibrations" being) andconspiracy theories (forces of evil are supposed to plan compulsory chipping of the population).Benda based his philosophy on information from many independent books, including "Angels In Starships" (Giorgio Dibitonto), "Inside The Spaceships" (
George Adamski ), "Bringers Of The Dawn" (Barbara Marciniak) and others. He also adopted parts of Swiss citizen Billy Meier's philosophy. However, Benda's philosophy is in some points in conflict with Meier's and Meier has declined any contacts with Benda and does not recognize his movement.External links
