Getting more and more of the belief, for myself at least, that "aliens" or "extraterrestrials" aren't what we know them to be. That is, as a solid formed, shimmering smooth being with enlarged eyes and a bald head. This section of the time line, being since we evolved into a somewhat civil society, shows craft or unknown deities as we know them. In religious depictions or modern art, as demons or as flying things in the sky. However, the flying things are always depicted of materials known to humankind at that time period as the most utilised materials. Timber crafts depicted through mediaeval, ancient etc Into steam powered timber craft 19th early 20th century And today, as shimmering silver or metallic objects that shoot at immeasurable speed. Make of it what you will but I feel that we are no closer to knowing exactly what any "extraterrestrial" lives are or where they're from. My personal take, or beginning to explore, is based around the string theory of multiple dimensions and these beings or craft or whatever, is intentionally entering or crossing between dimensions that our limited humankind mind can interpret. And these interactions are their deliberate form they take on based around their knowledge of us or what we would expect. Who knows exactly what they believe us to be. All of our knowledge of anything extraterrestrial is based on speculation, 3rd party and direct witness accounts etc. no one I know of at least, can with 100% certainty explain exactly what they are, where they're from or why they visit. And I'm not talking about someone who claims to be able to connect with Kang and kodos via psychological connection. I'm talking irrefutable information. I read some pretty compelling story the other day about reptilians living under the crust of the earth in enormous cities that are locked in a war with humankind and the CIA are the surface crew who keep It under wraps. I'm not someone to yuck someone's yum and so they are entitled to believe what they wish, but again, incredibly dubious. Our knowledge of them to be little grey men with enlarged heads and black eyes that can fly around space bending time or breaching space and time is based solely on speculation and hearsay. I'm not claiming to have the answers or the alternative evidence to support the path I'm exploring, but I feel we are no closer now to understanding or accepting than we were after Roswell. Every so often, I feel it's necessary to bring yourself back to ground and really take a look at human life as it is. We believe we're this great technologically advanced species because we're the top of the food chain and we can video call someone on the other side of the planet from a screen in our pocket. Whilst we have developed exponentially in technology over the last 50 years, we've only developed technologically over the last 50 years. We're incredibly young as a species in terms of earth and it's timeline, and I feel in grounding yourself and reminding yourself of this you can begin to realise that we are limited as humans and in physics of what we know to be true. If you could flash back in time 1,000 years, if you managed to escape being hanged on charges of being a witch, how do you think someone of that time period would describe your smart phone if you had showed them before coming home - " well my lord, this person had a rectangle, in their pocket, and it was bright like the sun and " They too would more than likely be hanged or imprisoned at a sanitarium. We are no different in the sense that what we know to be true may be the reason people see nhi or extra terrestrials as they describe, little grey men. And until our minds or our species have developed or evolved to a stage where what we know to be true isn't limited by physics, I don't think we will get anymore clearer than now. submitted by /u/Flat_Ad_3912 [link] [comments]
