Have you seen the movie, âThe Last Wave?â

I havenât, but will put it on my list.
It is a lower budget movie from 77 but has good acting including Richard Chamberlain as lawyer in a murder trial involving Aborigines who initiate him into the âdreamworld.â Towards the end, you get to see some cave paintings and I donât want to spoil it but they have a prophesy of a âlast waveâ that wipes out humanity. People survived in this cave during the last great flood and made the paintings. I read somewhere that those people migrated to Australia over 50,000 yrs. ago.

You need to be careful taking those rock paintings as literal recreations of ârealityâ. The Australian aborigines paint images from the dreamtime just as they would the roos or the snakes. Those who are initiated live in the âthird heavenâ, and the imagery is representative of what is seen there. From what I can tell, its like an additional layer over the top of the 3d world we are (presumptively) familiar with. I give no comment on whether what is seen there is ârealâ or not, but I can tell you those who are initiated into the dreamtime see those beings and interact with them for all sorts of purposes.
What I mean to say is: these images look like your classic grey alien representation and you should have a think about whether western people who, reportedly, have similarly seen them are looking at the same beings, or if there is some phenomenological component to the âgrey aliensâ being visible to anyone. The people who made images of them thousands (many thousands) of years ago donât (and didnât) live in the same cultural or metaphysical reality we do these days. Something to ponder.
