So far, there are about 6 or 7 species interested in our planet, but why? What is it they can gain from it. Is it just a matter of spreading out their species like the colonies in Star trek? Or does it have to do with something on a far more subtle level...

Pike, should we as humans find another planet with living beings on it.. what do you think we would be interested in about them?

Pike, why must you think like that? What makes you think they have a need to gain from us? Couldn't they be just like me and wish for nothing more than to share wisdom? With people like you roaming about it's hardly surprising they haven't made contact.

you see, before your scenario may come to be, something has to come first as it will be a very long time before we are capable of blasting out towards new solar systems...so, your question does not apply at the present time...later maybe

I hope not Pike, you seem to be having enough trouble with the obvious.

Why are you putting a negative spin on that when it has none? What was meant by : "....Or does it have to do with something on a far more subtle level... " , was that there is the possibility of a "spiritual" level.

Reply to pike

That was obvious.

Good night Pike, I'm needed in the kitchen, my guests arrive in fifteen mins.

Pike, what makes you think that if they're capable of coming here, they have anything to learn from us except to watch us acting like cavemen?

Second, everyone wants to nail the first alien. Have you not seen Species or Total Recall? C'mon.

We see things and understand things from our own perspective. It cannot be otherwise, unless we are capable of changing that very perspective. Changing ones' paradigm.

This is where things become more subtle and generally quite difficult because we aren't accustomed to functionning other than in our normal paradigm. So just for the sake of possibilities, just for the sake of a positive twist to that which generally isn't regarded as having one, let's say this:

On the material level, Aliens appear to be the angels, gods and goddesses, demons devils and leprechauns written about all throught history. They have always been there. Major goverments know they are there.

On the spiritual level, Aliens are the angels, gods and goddesses, demons devils and leprechauns written about all throught history. They have always been here. Major goverments know they are here.


The great difficulty, is the general unawareness of the connectedness of the two levels of reality and becomming aware of the aliens in one level and beleiving they are in the other.

Reply to pike

Ahh??? My tiny brain does not comprehend...

First off if they had the ability to get here, that would indicate their technology is far superior than us. They wouldn't be interested in us at all.

I'd always assumed because of where they show up they wanted old rusted out farming equipment and pick up trucks.

How about I hold your head under water for a few mins, just so you get a feel for it's lifestyle.

Arg, he needs to go on a sailing ship with me to know what it's like to go fighting a whale.

Reply to Dirty_Barry

I'm trying to do you a favour and all you can talk about is fighting. This is why nobody likes hippies.

Hippies likes hippies, well usually.

Hippies are great. When they're baked out of their noggin' it's easy to empty their wallet.

On the rare occasion there's something in there.

You'd have to go back to the late 60s, early 70s, to really have some LSD.....

And back to the eighties for some decent ecstasy. What's happening to the quality of drugs?

As for Lsd, we got rid of that when we went decimal!!!

Reply to Tom_Smart

These days there's so many restrictions and laws. It's no fun any more.
