Exploring the Dark Side of Alien Encounters and Human Nature

Written on

There exists a shadowy aspect of life that we often shy away from discussing. Many individuals avoid confronting it, and some even fear looking at themselves in the mirror. Is it possible that aliens may possess a cruelty that surpasses that of humans?

It can be posited that certain truths are not meant for those who are easily disturbed. We naturally strive to shield one another, especially the innocent and vulnerable. However, every person born on Earth is inevitably subjected to death and chaos. Rarely does anyone traverse this planet without encountering hardship, often passing away before their loved ones. Humans often engage in sinister behaviors, excluding actions necessary for survival. Every living entity—humans, animals, and plants—faces the inevitability of death. If aliens are indeed a part of nature and death is an intrinsic aspect of life, could humans be viewed as the prey?

This notion is indeed alarming. Humanity has constructed belief systems asserting that sentient beings should not harm one another. Yet, this is starkly contradicted by our own history. While most people strive to avoid inflicting pain on others, we cannot deny that we have, at times, turned on one another. We generally tend to cooperate with other life forms, as humans are not isolated; our existence relies on the health of the entire ecosystem.

Intelligence, akin to physical strength, has been wielded to dominate, exploit, and harm individuals, systems, and life itself. Our philosophies often serve to justify our actions and existence. Some belief systems are quite radical; while Machiavellian principles may be deemed ruthless, utilitarian views can offer pragmatic solutions. In contrast, followers of Jainism practice an extreme form of patience, restricting their diet to fruits that have fallen naturally.

Our understanding of psychology is not merely about functionality but rather about discerning good from evil. Nothing in life is so beneficial that it is free from the potential for harm. Even the joys of life, such as sunshine and pets, come with the specter of death. Excessive sunlight or darkness can be detrimental. Perhaps some find solace in tales of pets lying beside their deceased owners, while others recount chilling stories of animals consuming their owners out of necessity.

What philosophy can assist us in grappling with the reality that the Phenomenon is not purely benevolent?

The Absence of Sunshine

Life on Earth is inherently fraught with existential dread, and there’s no escaping this truth. If we lack a genuine reason to worry, we often fabricate concerns just to have something to fret about. The human mind is a battleground for the dualities of existence. The interplay of light and dark in our lives revolves around fulfilling our varied needs. If we better understood our own needs and those of others, perhaps we would gain a deeper appreciation for extraterrestrial beings.

Aliens, too, will come with their own desires, both as a species and as individuals.

Reports of cattle mutilations continue to surface. A series of such incidents spanned from Texas to North Dakota earlier this year, briefly making headlines before fading from public view. In Peru, there was a murder, and a 14-year-old girl narrowly escaped abduction. While the media suggests illegal gold miners were employing military-grade technology to intimidate villagers away from their mines, this narrative seems implausible, especially since it drew global attention and awareness to the location of the gold. As a result, the villagers have resorted to clearing more of their surrounding forests to improve visibility.

The 1993 film "Fire in the Sky," based on the real-life account of Travis Walton, introduces a chilling detail: human corpses aboard the spacecraft. While the film suggests Walton was meant to join them, he later asserts that such portrayals were exaggerated for cinematic effect.

This narrative forms part of the broader human-alien discourse. Between those who perceive the phenomenon as entirely sinister and those who view it as purely positive lies a spectrum of reality. It is certainly not exclusively negative, nor is it entirely positive.

Understanding Our Biological Realities

My knowledge of biology is sufficient to spark curiosity and raise questions. My foundational studies included anatomy, physiology, microbiology, and engaging with medical texts for pleasure rather than professional ambition. Conversations with MDs provide further insight, yet I still find myself with more inquiries than answers.

Recently, I learned about a fraternal twin born a week after his sister. Such occurrences are exceedingly rare, with a probability of one in two million. This revelation raised questions: what caused the delay? Shouldn’t both babies be delivered simultaneously? Could this lag have influenced the twin’s lifelong battle with severe depression, while the other has thrived?

Fraternal twins who are separated at birth will cry when apart, but their cries cease when placed together. Might the absence of a sibling in the womb lead to existential distress, even before birth, resulting in potential psychological disorders?

Consider this scenario: masked individuals invade a room, performing a cesarean section on a pregnant woman to retrieve the baby. Your initial reaction might be one of horror. But if I clarify that these individuals were surgeons wearing surgical masks, your perspective shifts entirely.

Should we even emote in such situations? Is data merely data, or do emotions serve as our connection to the unseen dimensions of existence?

Humans routinely cull from both herds and crops, often conducting studies that inflict harm for the sake of observation. Historically, ethical guidelines have been established to minimize harm, yet humanity has committed numerous atrocities in the name of science.

Extraterrestrial beings may not adhere to the same ethical frameworks we do. Hypothetically, if tasked with saving a species, would one care about the individual lives sacrificed in the process? Today, students worldwide still dissect animals, which are often killed solely for educational purposes. One could argue this practice aids medical professionals in becoming familiar with their future responsibilities.

I opposed this practice, believing that ample resources exist—books, images, and slides—rendering the killing of animals unnecessary. I ultimately negotiated a compromise with my instructor, allowing me to volunteer at a veterinary clinic instead.

I struggled with practical applications, as live organs appear vastly different from those that have been preserved and repeatedly thawed. My contemplation is whether we are studying life or death. I find it troubling to cut down trees merely for holiday decorations. When my son proudly showcased their new Christmas tree, I inadvertently expressed my disdain, prompting him to present various counterarguments.

I appreciate the beauty of pine trees and the warmth of a fire. I enjoy barbecues and the experiences life offers, recognizing that existence encompasses both life and death. There is inherent joy in destruction as it leads to creation. However, the destruction wrought by Tibetan monks creating sand mandalas feels different than the obliteration of a city. Is warfare an effort to preserve life and culture, or does it merely serve to study death? How many methods have humans devised to annihilate life as opposed to enhancing it?

The philosophy traditionally upheld by Native Americans, which advocates for waste reduction, may not have been consistently practiced. Nevertheless, isn’t it a philosophy worth nurturing? Living harmoniously with nature and minimizing waste is an ideal we could strive towards. While we could amplify nature’s abundance, we often impose limitations that create scarcity, benefiting immediate economies but hindering future diversity.

Reports of alien anatomical harvesting have persisted throughout history and appear intentional. The significance of specific organs—skin, eyes, genitals—raises questions. What insights might the eye provide about a species and its environment? If aliens are invisible to us, might they study our vision to enhance their own concealment, or are they attempting to modify their appearance to become visible to humans?

Why focus on reproductive organs? What does this signify about both the species being examined and the observers themselves? If they possess the means to create artificial wombs, why would they capture humans from the wild? If they can reproduce effectively, why continue abducting individuals? Theoretically, a single viable male and female could repopulate Earth, given that one woman's eggs could yield countless offspring.

One could argue that a diverse human sampling from around the globe enhances genetic variation. Thus, from the 1940s to the present, shouldn't aliens have gathered sufficient knowledge and samples to cease their abductions? If they possess advanced technology, why persist in taking lives?

The Persistence of Darkness

Every day at work, I encounter unsettling realities. I am not lamenting my career choice; my past has equipped me for this path, though I recognize that, but for divine grace, I could be less balanced.

There exists a profound darkness in our experiences. Carl Jung impressed upon me that we do not become enlightened by solely envisioning beings of light; rather, we must confront the shadows that lie beyond. The connection between UFOs and religion, as explored by scholars like Diana Pasulka, reveals unsettling truths. The phenomenon carries a darker undertone, as does life itself. Rituals once mitigated these shadows, allowing society to function, but all ritualized behavior eventually requires renewal or deeper understanding.

Today, humanity seems adrift—not due to an excess of rituals or beliefs, but because we lack a unifying milestone that serves our collective needs. In recent times, obtaining a driver’s license was a significant rite of passage into adulthood. Many educational institutions have discontinued driver’s education to avoid liabilities, resulting in a troubling number of 18- to 25-year-olds lacking driving skills, as reliance on cell phones and rideshare apps grows.

The prevalence of manuals has diminished. My nine-year-old son recently expressed interest in learning to drive a manual transmission vehicle, drawn to classic cars, many of which feature manual gears. However, he may never need to drive, as gas-powered cars could become obsolete in the future, leaving him nostalgic for a classic he may never own.

It is alarming to note that many young people view food as something that simply appears in stores, oblivious to the reality that vast numbers of animals are raised and killed for consumption. This unsettling truth remains until technological advancements allow us to cultivate meat from grass clippings.

Some posit that large-scale farming is the solution for animal husbandry, yet the harsh reality is that larger operations lead to higher animal fatalities compared to numerous small regional farms. The latter not only provide food security but also mitigate the risk of starvation in the event of systemic failures.

Death is an inherent aspect of life, yet humanity often inflicts unnecessary suffering upon itself—perhaps due to antiquated philosophies that no longer serve our interests.

Jesse Michels and Dr. Diana Pasulka suggest that engaging in CE5 protocols—attempting to summon extraterrestrial beings—is unwise. Why invite death if it can be evaded? Is it even possible to avoid it? Those who vehemently oppose Ouija boards tap into similar anxieties. We often dismiss such fears, rationalizing that there is nothing to be concerned about while simultaneously questioning why we would even consider testing those boundaries.

Superstitions and warnings about tempting fate exist for a reason.

Regrettably, a segment of society is attuned to darker realities. Some believe that a few must endure suffering so that others may experience joy. We, as experiencers, connect with a phenomenon that remains uncomfortable for the majority. Consider this crude analogy: if hallucinations stem solely from mental health issues, why the stigma? We do not ostracize individuals for broken bones, so why do we penalize those grappling with psychological disorders?

Speculatively, perhaps we are all acutely aware of the fragility of the human mind and uncomfortable with the fact that we can be deceived by both people and reality. Each of us is but one trauma away from confronting the stark reality of mortality.

Surviving a brush with death or realizing that the world extends beyond our limited perceptions leads to revelations that are difficult to contain. The spectrum of nature encompasses far more than our current understanding of this narrow Goldilocks zone.

Religions around the globe often restrict speculative discussions and provide rituals to satisfy our curiosity. However, science has disrupted this equilibrium, momentarily offering a set of speculative dialogues and practices. As scientific understanding progresses, we quickly discover an invisible realm that extends beyond our current paradigms.

Some aspects of this realm are positive, while others are deeply troubling—if not outright malevolent.
