One of the trouble with the word “prison” is that we assume putting people is it is justified, but what if it’s not?
The UPG from Farsight goes further, that Earth wasn’t started as a prison planet, that the civilisation that hijacked it and made it so was very controlling, and many people here are writers, musicians, visionaries, artists and freedom loving creatives of all types, simply because they preferred a static, unchanging culture, and these people that like change become elements of discord and unrest. So they dump them here.
The idea speculates further that this is the reason this planet is so chock full of creativity and constant change. The local galaxy itself is relatively depleted of… us.
There are psychopaths and criminals here as well, but there’s more creatives.
In addition, an aliens dying on this planet, would also be trapped by accident. Because the trap is activated when the spirit is trying to transition out of the incarnation. Hence “death traps”.
And example of this was when apparently, a contingent of some 3000 scientists from “the Domain” were attacked by remnants of this older civilisation, called the “old empire” or “old draconian empire” and lost badly, they all died, and are mostly all still here, rescue not being possible for some reason.
(I personally don’t buy that non rescue bit, I don’t buy a lot of the story the pilot who was captured at Roswell was supposed to have said as reported by the human telepath that interviewed it related, but I believe there was an alien that was captured and interviewed. If I was that alien, I wouldn’t have told the truth either, especially not if, as Charles James Hall spoke of, there were actually children on that ship. For people who want to read that, it was published as a fictional story in 2008 by Lawrence Spencer, called “Alien Interview”, and for ref the name of the telepath was Matilda MacElroy. Charles James Hall has books on Amazon as well.)
That scenario makes room for many of us wondering why we don’t deep down feel like criminals to be here without having done anything wrong, by most Earth standards.
I’m a big believer in following that deep knowing that speaks to you silently, going “hmn, there’s something more going on here”, and I think it’s different for all of us. Truth is stranger than fiction.
