Thank you very much, I am delighted with this kind of exchange and disagreement in an inspiring way. :D

What you say and that you think of aliens not necessarily in physical form but something far stranger, I can go with that.

The mystery of life is one of those things that you can't express in words, you can't express in formulas, it's very difficult to express in experience, it's the proverbial inexpressible.

The energy that emanates from every living being, from the largest cosmological bodies to the smallest, yes, I am of the opinion that this has an influence on perception or rather on a feeling or a hunch.

The fact that space and matter are inevitably connected and that it is not the emptiness of space within which one can explain fragmentarily by means of gravity, mass, distance, speed, etc., but understand space and matter as connected, has been well demonstrated by quantum physics. Since the observer is able to influence what is observed, just as the slit experiment influences whether you get waves or particles, for example, such a phenomenon, which can also be transferred to consciousness, is according to my interpretation.

I can describe my experiences with psychedelics as strange and absolutely unusual, and although there have never been any concrete "calls to action", I would think that a gateway to inspiration and spirituality has been opened. Especially the remarkable, not particularly pleasurable effects of the drugs made a lasting impression on me, just like the extremely pleasant ones, which brought me an increased willingness to make contact with people, overcoming any shyness or inhibition.

It was this contrast that made me realise how inhibited and restrained I was in my normal state, although I am not idealising this, or rather the rarity of the experience is what makes it so special.

Inasmuch as some people had such experiences either with or without drugs (the body is quite capable of producing endorphins itself, for example - I know, you know rhat:)), I can well imagine that they were under the impression of having talked to God or to an entity or intelligence that they located. I think that it exists both inside and outside. And there is no real dividing line in between.

I am more than convinced that we humans need and seek such experiences, especially those that are dangerous and push us to our limits. The hunter cultures exposed themselves to these dangers and grew spiritually from them, I have little doubt about that. I even believe that the everydayness - that is, the possibility of experiencing a dangerous moment at any time of the day - makes people spiritual. Since chance and planning are not seen as mutually exclusive. The person who, as a nomad or explorer of his surroundings, despite his abilities, could also be an accidental victim or did not always prove to have a lucky hand, was, I think, still happier than the person who tied himself to the land and places and thus had to experience the much greater misfortune of crop failures and the conflicts of settling down. Then, on top of all that, the hardship of having to constantly defend it all.

I don't know Enoch's book, I'd love to read it, do you know if it's on the net somewhere?

I don't know the author's name either, but I am grateful for the mention. I am always on the lookout for niche literature.

That the elites had/have contact with extraterrestrials is circulating like wild through the net, I never took it seriously, also probably because of the many associated pictures with reptiles - LOL :D

Like our negative energy feeds a higher source of consciousness, for their benefit and not ours. (Another theory and maybe not very relevant to the problem.)

Maybe it is relevant to the problem - maybe that is what in different religious cultures is named as ghosts, demons, dark gods or dark angels, devils or as monsters or zombies in literature and films, to give this phenomena an outer appearance and form, not to be taken literally but metaphorically. What I would call also the "dark side" or "shadow". We have many names and expressions for this but I think they all mean the same.

The fact that we have so much of it - and have had it for a very long time - may well be due to the lack of dealing with this strangeness, the refusal to accept the other and the strange as co-existing. I felt this most clearly when I walked past a lion enclosure in the zoo and both the sight of it and its unspeakably powerful roar made me tremble and shake to my core. Rarely have I been so aware of how alien this creature was to me and I wish I had felt less fear and more humility and serenity towards the beast.

Well I suppose this would be in line with how things work in the animal kingdom right?

Right.

An animal of prey does not put much thought into its consumption of lower chain animals. There is no emotional regret as far as we can see. I would propose the opposite is true, that it's a very rewarding thing for a high echelon animal of prey to succeed in victory over its prey.

I very much think the same. I also think that it is very rewarding for a human being to succeed over a prey animal while the difference between us and a predator is that we feel sympathy at the same time. We don't know though, if a predator has similar emotions because we cannot interpret their language nor look inside them. They may "feel sorry" but don't dwell on it like we do when we become neurotic. Because we humans are schizophrenic in the first place ;) When and how we became that way, is another matter.

Very pleased with this long exchange.
Greetings, my friend!
