I have no opinion on whether extraterrestrials have been here or not, but if they have, I have always wondered why they do not want to announce their presence in some public way, like landing on the ellipse behind the White House. Then I read a story by someone who claimed to have met with aliens and asked that same question. Again, I have no opinion on whether this is true or not, but the answer he received was very interesting. Apparently, the aliens see reality differently than we do. So long as their presence is not accepted by humanity as a fact, then they remain apart from us. From the moment when we know them and generally accept them as real in our consciousness, we become part of their reality as well. From that point, they are bound to us somehow.
It's an interesting notion. It implies something I've always believed in: that we are all in some way part of a larger common consciousness, one that gives rise to a "world spirit", and allows people in different places and cultures to experience "awakenings" to new ideas and paradigms almost simultaneously.
Interesting notion indeed....
Brought to mind the ‘machine elves’.........
Absolutely... You are close to true enlightenment of mind, body, and spirit. And this concept is universal and nondenominational.
