My view of theism - theism analogous to belief in extra terrestrials

My view of theism - theism analogous to belief in extra terrestrials
I conceive of God as a way of talking about the eternal reality that preexisted before anything else. At first there was only pure necessity and chaos and out of this emerged living sentient spirits. This process of chaos becoming order and life emerging out of nothing is very sacred, and this is the eternal spirit of God. After this chaos settled, order emerged and life forms, like extra terrestrials emerged. They did not occur inside of the physical world, however, and they were dependent on this eternal process. They formed a government and then proceeded to created life elsewhere, including on earth.
 
In the Bible, God in the more general sense is called Elohim (for "we"), suggesting that God is more than one person. The more personal form of God is Yahweh. I believe that the statement the Lord our God the Lord is one refers not to one single person, but a unity, like the trinity.

Even Richard Dawkins admitted that life could have been sown from outer-space by extra terrestrials. Is it improbable to believe that there could be life on other planets?

Why I believe this is because of years and years of prayerful experience of these entities. Most people believe that there are some sort of spiritual entities that exist. Why is it unreasonable to believe that there are spiritual entities that people can relate to?

I talk to spirits literally every day and they talk back to me using language and words. This is the experience that most people have had through most of the history of the world.

Why is it crazy to believe in spirituality? If it is probably that life could exist on other planets, as many atheists will allow, why not in other dimensions?

If you think spirits are talking to you, maybe ask your doctor about upping your dosage. And stay away from fire. Naughty.

Why is that so impossible to imagine? Virtually all societies have traditions about people who could communicate with spirits. That mere fact is historical evidence, the evidence of the experience. Why have an a priori hostility to the possibility of other forms of life? You can take the issue out of the context of the politics of theism and speak for any non-human immaterial life. Why be hostile to believing this could exist when there is such a universal human experience of it?

There's also a universal human experience of mental illness and hallucinatory visions induced by various changes in our brain chemistry due to various factors (see: ritualistic drug use, starvation, self-inflicted wounds, things like sweat lodges, etc.).
