You do not discredit a possibility. You lend credit to a hypothesis. Then it becomes a theory, from which logical, repeatable, and provable conclusions are made.
This is how logic works. Notice the stunning dissimilarity to the way you go about things.
Personal experiences are known as Anecdotal Evidence and among such lines of 'evidence' lie David Koresh claiming to be Jesus brought back to earth, the Salem Witch Trials, and of course the logical fallacy of Post Hoc, Ergo Propter Hoc.
Anecdotal evidence is of course the same level of evidence used by anyone that's ever heard voices in their heads. Hey, they experienced it so it must be true.
Very compelling.............
ET huh? And just how do you plan on helping catch the attention of what would have to be super intelligent beings (compared to us) across light years of distance?
Once again since the radio signals traveling at the speed of light haven't elicited a response from Zoltan of Ursa Minor thus far, I'd be tickled to hear how you plan on it.
Scientology? Because you sound dangerously close to someone that read Dianetics when they should have been reading a physics textbook.

Dude you can't even begin to explain how that is even supposed to work. If you don't know that critical bit of information, how do you know you are 'doing it' right?
This has got to be the worst bit of mish mash, new age nonsense I've encountered in many years. At least most nnutjobs think they have teir particular goofy notions figured out.
Not only that, but again it's a logical fallacy. If you hope for ET to visit, then one does- that does not mean YOU had anything to do with it. Considering ALL the other possibilities (like say almost a hundred years of radio communication waves propagading out from the earth to nearby star systems) it's far more likely that someone with the logic and reason to do something effective had a hand in it.
What you are saying is essentially prayer works. Prayer in this case being some new age version of energy/thought transference. But it's all the same and again, a logical fallacy known as Wishful Thinking.
Studies have shown time and again prayer (of any sort) simply doesn't work. You could be doing something useful like getting educated about physics so that we can travel to the stars ourselves, or working at SETI, with real scientists really doing something to find ET.
Or you could put on a tin foil beanie and think that the nothing you're doing is responsible for something happening when really it's the people with some education that are accomplishing things.
You could sit and think really hard about a pound of hamburger defrosting. But the fact that after a few minutes in the microwave the meat is thawed doesn't mean you did it. It's the result of people grounded in the real world that understand physics that made the microave oven that really got that meat thawed....
