CHAPTER THIRTEEN
Friends and Neighbors
Who is the Alien?
Let us begin by speaking about the concepts you have held on
your planet regarding what you colloquially call extraterrestrials.
Even before that, however, from another point of view allow us
to delineate a time when we first discovered a civilization, one that
had a life form upon it that was, to use our term, Essassani-ish. But
instead of our average height of S feet, they ranged on an average
from 5 to 6-1/2 feet. Whereas we exhibit generally overall white/
whitish-gray skin color, this civilization exhibited a wide range of
colors. . . . Well, are you all catching on so far?
  (Yes!)
  All right. This is to give you the perspective that, considered
from other points of view, you yourselves are the aliens. Your
world to many other civilizations is unknown, different, unusual,
unique in many ways. There really is no need when considering
us, or any other civilization, to think any more highly of us than
you are willing to think of yourselves-for you are unique and
different in your own way. You are just as valid an expression of
a form of life as any other form of life that has chosen to express
itself-in physical reality or in any other level of consciousness.
  You are an alien civilization to us; we are an alien civilization
to you. But on other levels we are the same. The way we choose
to express that sameness is what creates the different societies; and
it is that sameness that allows us the opportunity to create differ-
ent expressions. It is because we all draw from the same source of
Infinite Creation; it is because we are all the same type of soul, if
you will, that we allow ourselves the opportunity to express our-
selves in such a broad, diversified range of experience and life.
Many of your years ago, any time your culture even thought
of the idea of an extraterrestrial, you usually designed your aware-
ness regarding what these extraterrestrials looked like to be some-
thing quite different from your own human physical form. And
from what we have observed, since you imbued in these non-
human physical forms typically a certain degree of malevolence
toward your society, you thus created these extraterrestrial forms
to be terrorizing things. Now that you are beginning to change
your attitudes and ideas about how other life forms can be experi-
enced and possibly be encountered by you, you are beginning to
think more in terms of your own human form. You have discov-
ered that many of the interactions and contacts that have taken
place more often than not seem to involve extraterrestrials who
are human-ish, or humanoid in form.
There may be many individuals who say, "Well, why should
this be so? Just because we might now think that extraterrestri-
als may be friendly, as opposed to possessing a desire to consume
us, does not necessarily mean that they must appear in humanoid
form." And this is so. The reason basically why you are coming
closer and closer to the reality wherein you can interact with ex-
traterrestrial consciousness; the reason why you are now seeing
many of these contacts take place between your form and forms
that are not truly very dissimilar to your own, is because of the
nature of reality, the nature of the universe.
As we have discussed, everything is the product of different
rates of frequency, and it is those different frequencies that deter-
mine the material constructs designed and created out of the pri-
mal energy. Therefore recognize that when any other civilizations
-at least among the majority we have encountered- first begin
to venture into space, first begin to realize that they may in fact
encounter other forms of life, they usually at first encounter and
attract those forms operating closest to their own frequency. And
thus by definition those attracted usually reflect a similar physi-
cal structure.

Click at "The Truth" near the top of the page and the
text written of, and partially quoted here, will appear.

Quotes from the above, in this post, are indented.

My purpose in posting this is not to prove the
veracity of UFO phenomena as extraterrestrial,
or paranormal in nature.  It is, mainly, to
promote discussion amongst people interested
in these subjects.

alt.paranormal CHARTER

http://www.psicounsel.com/altparfaq.html

2.   alt.paranormal is not
     intended as a forum for
     disbelievers to
     harass, or voice their
     contempt for, paranormalists.
     This charter strictly
     forbids such activity.

3.   alt.paranormal is not for
     people to harass paranormalists
     about their beliefs and
     demand of them scientific proof.
     Groups discussing the scientific
     validity of theories are either
     prefixed with "sci" or they
     have some other designation.

The relation to metaphysics and astrology is
shown in much of this material, and one example
is in the statement about "equations of emotion
and thought," and how "...they manipulate the
medium of the Cosmos."

           As cosmologies have developed and
           matured, only to be replaced by yet
           others, one common theme emerged again
           and again - the recognition that all
           things, living and nonliving, constituted
           an interactive and interdependent tapestry
           of existence in which each thread was but
           part of a greater whole. Out of this recognition
           one can discern a metaphysics in which man and
           Cosmos are seen as inextricably intertwined,
           interconnected by a ubiquitous, all-pervasive
           cosmic flow of energy that undergirds, and is
           manifest in, all phenomena...

...

           ...the mystical concepts of truth and love simply
           must be actual and real fundamental principles of
           the Cosmos that will ultimately be understood in
           terms of an expanded concept of physics. I believe
           you will one day see something akin to equations
           of emotion and thought, and understand how they
           manipulate the medium of the Cosmos.

           [...]

           ...I ...propose that science reunite
           with spirituality. I believe there are
           greater reasons than just good sense
           to do this. I believe that this is not the first time
           beings have asked and answered this question
           in this way.

           The Physicist and the Mystic

           "The achievements of modern science seem to contradict
           religion and undermine faith. But for a growing number
           of scientists, the same discoveries offer support for
           spirituality and hints of the very nature of God."

           -- Sharon Begley, Newsweek, July 1998

           [...]

           [There is a] hypothesis that great world religions
           have - as billions of faithful believe - been fostered
           by more highly evolved beings, attempting to "groom" a
           relationship with a younger species of life called
           humanity? If a million years from now we chose
           to groom,
           say, a more sophisticated descendent of the species
           chimpanzee into a more mature form of life, would we
           not employ similar types of educational processes to
           impress systems of belief?

           [...]

           If you were the proprietor of a nursery school called
           human civilization on a planet called Earth, would you
           not employ great teachers and teachings to guide a
           primitive and promising species to this
           crucial knowledge?  Would such humans not
           naturally create great religions and
           churches to enshrine and pass down such
           guidance to their descendants, however imperfectly?

           And could you allow your students to
           advance beyond their
           nursery without clear demonstration of
           this wisdom learned?

           Teachers have taught us

           through the ages.

           They are watching us now...

           The History

           The term "saucer" was used to describe an
           unusual sky object on January 24, 1878. The
           Denison Daily News in Denison, Texas reported
           that local farmer John Martin watched a round,
           dark object that looked like a "saucer" moving
           high in the sky "at a wonderful speed."

           Sixty-nine years later on June 24, 1947, an
           Idaho salesman named Kenneth Arnold would
           use the same word to describe strange
           crescent-shaped objects moving in the sky.
           Arnold was flying his small airplane over
           the Cascade Mountains in Washington state,
           approaching Mt. Rainier around 3 PM from
           the west. At 9,200 feet over Mineral,
           Washington, "a tremendously bright flash
           lit up the surface of my aircraft," Arnold
           later wrote in his book The Coming of the
           Saucers © 1952. "I observed ... a formation
           of very bright objects coming from the vicinity
           of Mt. Baker flying very close to the mountain
           tops and traveling at tremendous speed. ...I
           watched as these objects rapidly neared the snow
           border of Mt. Rainier..."
