Good comments.
I am comfortable I know enough about this stuff that I can deliver the bad news right now—so anyone reading this will be “inoculated” and hopefully can cope with it.
They have been here longer than we have.
This is their planet, and we are the trespassers.
They are the top of the pecking order on this planet and could destroy us any time if they wanted to do that.
They are smarter than we are, know much more than we do not just about science and technology but about spiritual matters.
Most of what humans believe to be true will be shown to be primitive superstition.
It is time to be adults and deal with it.
The rest of the animal kingdom does just fine with their limited abilities.
We can as well.
The conclusion that I gradually arrived at, is that “they” are demonic, of the devil, and have cooked up an intriguing distraction from The Way.
I don’t think I’ve ever actually said that to anyone before.
