And for the people here quoting ET's aka demons. They mix a little truth with a little lie. They know their destination, they want yours to be with them.
Christs return will be like this: Christ returns in the clouds for ALL to see Him. Believers in Christ will be taken (snatched) out, aka blessed hope, aka rapture. This is not the second coming, that comes 7 years later with His saints, aka believers to do battle at Armageddon. Those 7 years will be hard for anyone to become a believer in Jesus. Satan will have a beautiful explaination of the mass disappearance. So much so that if it were possible would fool the very elect, aka saints, aka believers in Jesus Christ.
After Revelations chapter 3: All believers, aka saints, aka the church, aka the elect, aka believers in Jesus Christ, etc. are not mentioned any longer because we are not here. We are with Jesus where we will be with Him forever more. We have been raptured.
The people that remain will see the anti-christ (lucifer) immediately set up shop in Jerusalem claiming to be God and performing miracles and demanding to be worshipped. This is called the abomination of desolation in Matthew 24. This is how you will know that you have been left behind. Your only hope at this last point will be to put your hope and trust in Jesus Christ and believe that He paid the price for your sins on the cross. But if this is foolishness to you now it will be ultra-foolishness to you then because of the great deception in the land.
So instead of believing in the doctrines of demons by creating "your own reality" and looking "within self"- go find you a born again believer of Jesus Christ and pray and repent of your sins and ask God to apply His Son's shed blood to your sin debt and its all good. Its that simple. Don't gamble with eternity any longer. What have you got to loose? (nothing) What have you to gain? (everything). God says in His word that it has not been put in mans heart to know what awesomeness He has in store for His people.
Get this taken care of people. You are running out of time.

I just had to.
It's a sad thing if one thinks they can't find 'truths' within one own self. Almost all my philosophical concepts I have developed on my own completely outside of other influences. I wrote a paper that is for the most part identical to Plato's allegory of the cave, before I even knew it existed. 2500 years apart, and developing the exact same thoughts about 'universal truths' then god damnit that has to be some serious universal truths!
Here's a lesson people in universal truth. If you were born, and thrown into a jail cell from birth with no reference material (ie holy books) and able to figure something out without any outside influences, like here's a rat, oh and there's another rat, a little bit fatter, but still another rat. OMG wait, that's two rats! Then there you go, that's a universal truth.
And thus, the two rat void the fat concept was born!
