Vatican to hold press conference on aliens, migrants of the third kind.

Pope Francis asked: "If, for example, tomorrow an expedition of Martians came, and some of them came to us, here…Martians, right? Green, with that long nose and big ears, just like children paint them…And one says, ‘But I want to be baptized!’ What would happen?”

The idea of Martians, life forms apart from humanity, turned us on our heads.

This upside down inside out paradigm began when we stepped out of ourselves to become an objective observer of reality. In an instant, we lost our omniscience and became a creature of evolution.

If you ever meet a space alien that has a chin and eyeballs with white sclera you would be looking at a fellow human

There are only fellow humans: me. You are all me. I talk to myself when I log in for a conversation. You are me. I know it sounds crazy to you. I am always having a conversation with myself whether I am here chatting with you or sipping my whiskey, alone in my garden, musing amidst the greenery before dinner. There is only me, always - except when I turn on the TV and see Joe Biden.

I'm sorry that you are stuck in the Twilight Zone.

It is the Twilight Zone! You don't think I have doubts about my sanity? Those moments are fleeting but not infrequent. They are occasions for reality checks. Am I taking care of the body? Am I financially sound? Am I emotionally stable? I have no issues in all those areas and feel confident stepping into the Twilight Zone. Is this the Twilight Zone: having conversations here? No offense. I don't think the quality of minds here are any worse than those out there "in the real world" engaged in business, politics, religion, etc.

What you call the Twilight Zone is an alternate reality to this material world in which we live. The connection between the two is the body. This body is not the human body we know thru science.

The sum total of our knowledge shapes out perception of reality. You see a whole body intact. I don't. I see it in parts. Right now, I only get to see my hands on the keyboard and they are the only parts of the body that exist in real time. You "see" the entire body, not just its outer form but inner organs also, and maintain awareness of all that thus keeping them all in the field of existence.

What is the ramification of being able to step into the Twilight Zone? I can step back in to where you are, the material world of science. You are stuck in the material world. What happens when the "body" dies? Will I be better off than you?

That's a lot to think about.
