The Small Door

So, we've established... ...well, I haven't established, but I've said - that the approximate level of 'advancement' ahead of us right now, on our planet Earth, of any group which is here from somewhere else, is at least four thousand years.

Now, correct me please, if I am wrong, but what is it, actually, that most human beings are seeking... ...great food, good clothes, stable predictable life, great, great relationships, money to spend on stuff, freedom, transcendence(?) well you can more or less get that from moderate amounts of decent alcohol...

Movie 'Not To Be Seen For a 100 Years.'

Ah, now, speaking of alcohol - that sci fi short film I have talked about before, the one with John Malkovich and Shuya Chang about a bottle of Remy Martin Louis XIII... It shows three different versions of 'the future.' Of course, we don't get to see the whole movie, but we do see the envisioning of three possible 'futures' for us and the planet.

Firstly, there is a future in which the place has been 'greened,' vegetation having over-run the cities and there are few if any humans around.

Secondly, there is a future not too different to today, simply an extension of the brutalist architecture quite evident in the cityscape, obvious examples of totalitarian styles of human existence, and finally, what is clearly something like an urban militaristic conflict starting just around the time the two protagonists are going to locate the cognac.

Thirdly, there is an envisioning of what is a utopia-style city, encompassing a lot of technological advancements.

If you knew, for absolute sure and certain,
that we would have these kinds of vehicles,
that were able to fly, or travel on roads....

Aldous Huxley wrote and said a lot of very intelligent and perceptive things, but one thing he did not get right, was his description of the Veda-based 'statue' or at least motif, of the so-called 'Dance of Shiva.' It is the same statue you will find outside the CERN offices. More about this in a moment.

What he did get right, was his proposition that the more dense a human population is, the more there are laws and rules and regulations made to constrain what is presumed to be frictional interactions between people simply because there are more and more occasions for interaction. This is indeed what happens, but it is a stupid, irrational, mindless, and above-all illogical thing to conclude about human interaction at all: why is it necessarily so that people do not automatically just 'get on?' Well on the one hand we know that they don't...

But... Why? Why don't they?

People who are 4 thousand years ahead of us, already
know what the trajectory of 'advancing technology is;' whether it
really does end up always in 'governments' hands... Or whether,
in fact, governments lose control of it altogether. And they also know,
there is no 'different time-lines/potential futures.' There is only one.

What I can tell you, is that people such as the retired-CIA writer Charles McCarry agreed with me that the ET aliens encountered in his CIA experience, whether merely by having read the accounts and reports of others, or by his personal and actual experience -, are very few in number. If you ever get to go up there, there is almost nothing there, in their 'places.' It's white, bright, anti-septic clean, has some 'sleep' spaces in darkness, but everywhere else is uncluttered, and 'new'-looking, and empty. They flit around, in and out, with seeming 'objectives,' and business to do, and there is a lot of audible traffic happening if you get access to their ear-pieces. But you'll never get them to say just what it is they are actually 'up to.'

They have no laws, no rules, no 'regulations,' and they are constrained by no one, and by no thing.

...Go back to my first proposition here: that you and I just 'want' some fairly basic and rather 'simple' things, and all of them are just products of what we are.

'But just show me, show me - and then, I will decide on the basis of what I see, or what I saw, whether to keep or to abandon the utterly stupid, mindless, prejudiced, pre-formed, false, and idiotic positions that I still intend to hold to my grave because I am already so sure that I am right anyway...'

Isn't that what some of you want to tell me?

Well isn't it?

"Aldous - in your opinion, is there a god?"

"Oh yes, Calvin, I am a believer in the Hindu concept of Shiva - just look at it, depicted in that stature, it has everything in it, the circle of time and matter and energy, and Shiva with his one foot raised, and standing on some dwarf figure that is the evil predilection of people and wild nature..."

Yep. Millions and millions of people, including most Hindus agree with the great Aldous Huxley. Notwithstanding that he was indeed 'great,' he was also staggeringly wrong:

'Shiva' is the empty space in between the material of the statue; while the actual physical statue is of Adi Shakti, dancing.

We have some technology, see. And this is a
pathetic, ages-old prototype small-scale example.
Slaughter-bot mini-drones. Oh, way way further ahead now. 

...I once asked, and quite recently, someone I think does know some answers to the core questions -, I asked them about all of this and their answer was abrupt and slightly astonishing:

'Who cares what humans think. Nobody cares what humans think.'

But then they were also really nice. Not patronizing at all; the way they talk is more of a 'matter of fact' style of thing. And they have a sense of humor too.

Now...

When 'someone' smashed up Sodom and Gomorrah, and really handed out some 'hurt' there, if you recall the story, Lot actually asked the 'beings' to come with him away from the place, and they said, very curtly and quite decidedly, 'no, we are going to stay in the city - you go away right now.'

You know, the Bible doesn't actually record what went on back in there with them when they 'stayed behind.' Only the mess that happened afterwards.

Keep this in mind as you read over the next few days.
