Dear Sibyl,
Okay, you asked for it . . . This question doesn’t appear to be about relationships, but then again, maybe it is!
Yesterday, one of my best friends was doing an energy healing when with no warning whatsoever, he started speaking (something he doesn’t normally do during a healing!) an unintelligible language and making a lot of weird clicking sounds. It was later revealed that he was bringing in Sirian and Pleiadean energy to prepare him for his next level of consciousness. As if this isn’t mind-blowing enough, my friend was told that he is an ET ‘in disguise’, that he’s only pretending to be human, and that he will reveal himself within the next couple of years. As you can imagine, my friend was a little shaken by this experience.
So here’s our question: Assuming that we are living in multiple dimensions simultaneously (see Brian Greene’s Cosmos series on PBS) or at the very least have lived many lives in many galaxies throughout the multiverse, aren’t we all ETs? Is it just a matter of semantics?
Thanks,
Cosmic C
Dear CC,
You have a pretty exciting social life. Seriously, the best I can do these days when I get together with friends is try not to insult each other's politics by serving only sustainable agriculture. I am obviously hanging out with the wrong crowd - no one reveals their true identity as an alien, no matter how many glitchy hip hop beats we listen to.
So, you are clearly doing something right, at least on the level of some cosmic shit happening on any old Tuesday.
Now, to your question. I absolutely cannot claim to be an expert in human-Extra Terrestrial relations, as my experience with communicating with beings outside this earth is confined to whistling the theme from Close Encounters of the Third Kind and then feeling a little creepy thinking about who might be listening.
However, I suppose we are all E.T.s, to someone. In many ways, we are all aliens to one another, our own little universe in our experience. Sometimes communicating even with the members of my own family feels as complicated as mastering an intergalactic language.
And if it turns out that life does exist on other planets, it will be important to remember that to them, we are the aliens. I suppose it is all a matter of perspective, and I commend you for widening yours.
I don't think I'd take that friend of yours to Las Vegas, though. What if all the lights and sounds communicated something to him, and he turned into a creature from a Ridley Scott movie? Then you'd really have a quandary on your hands.
With Roswellian love,
Sibyl
