Where do dogs fit into all of this?

This is a serious question.

I was wondering, if humans are these spiritual beings that can access the universal consciousness or something like that, if inter dimensional NHI come down to enlighten humans to transcend to the 5th dimension, etc etc...

What happens with our dogs? Where do they fit into all of this?

Did anyone else become a skeptic BECAUSE of their interest in conspiracies and woo and aliens and "high strangeness" and all that kind of stuff?

When I was a teenager I discovered "Above Top Secret" and was absolutely enthralled.

I wanted to believe so badly. I did believe, actually.

And from that belief came a desire for proof, and a years long journey of honest research and discovery.

But at the end of the all this, I came to a bitter conclusion - none of it was real.

There is a part of me that still wants to believe. I want there to be a 4k video of a big foot walking into someone's campground. I want aliens to come down and visit us. I want an after life to exist. I want magic and crazy wild sci fi tech.

But my brain won't accept things without good evidence. It's why I'm an atheist. I also wish I was religious, I wish I could believe in a god and join a church and have that community. But I can't. My brain just doesn't work that way and I can't convince myself otherwise.

Can anyone else relate to this?
