Answers for an Andromedan
On the www.trufax.org site there is a series of weird questions allegedly from
one alien (visit the
'Alex Collier section').
In the film 'Dark Star', the smart bomb argues with one
of the crew about existence, why should the bomb bother to listen to the crew
member when he (i.e. the bomb) cannot be sure that the crew member really
exists? The bomb can only be sure of its own existence. The crew member
replies that it doesn't matter where the questions he is posing actually come
from, the questions are still valid.
Well, I have my doubts as to the meaning of the
"alien's" questions. But playing the game and for the time being
entertaining the idea that 'We each create our own universe', here are some
attempts at answers to the "alien's" questions. It may surprise you that
I am taking these questions seriously.
- Q: How does
one create self?
- A: I don't create myself, or more
accurately if I am creating myself then I am not aware of that
process. However, I do consciously change the way I am through
noticing changes, deciding which ones I do not like and which ones I
do like and want to keep and build on.
-
- Q: In healing your planetary wounds, what are the
first 3 steps?
- A:
-
- Learn about pain, healing and growth
- Take action in the areas you understand
sufficiently
- Share knowledge of success and failure without
distorting.
-
- Q: Please tell us how your planet will continue
to flourish, if you sabotage the minds of your children?
- A: You are asking how can x = -x? The
answer is only if x =
0.
From my perspective that hardly constitutes
'flourishing', so the question has no valid answer.
-
- Q: How will you create another domain of
thinking, if you won't think multi-dimensionally?
- A: I believe one can learn enough
sensitivity to thought to make it work better from the inside. It
seems important to learn about thought in simpler (safer) 'every-day' contexts
first. This will not so much result in a new domain for thinking,
rather a deeper or more intense use of the domain we/I know.
-
- Q: How do you as a human being, define
Self-Responsiblity?
- A: As a human being I define self
responsibility as telling the truth to oneself and others; also part of the
'responsibility' is that life is to be enjoyed and that enjoyment is to be
shared.
-
- Q: The issue on your planet is not overcoming
anything; its about becoming what you are intentionally creating. What are
you creating?
- A: At the moment I see too much damaging
stress and I am working to keep it away or to change it. I don't have
the perspective to see beyond that, but hope that in time this action will
give me that perspective. If I am creating anything, it is an
emotional
oasis
from which I and others can make good choices about 'what
next'.
