real vs irreal
Experiment: with the help of a learned colleague in the alien-abduction field, attempted to summon a gray and a yellow alien into the two vacant chairs where we enjoyed our coffee and a liberal chat about the rendered universe of cerebral reality vs the daily corporate grind.Why a gray and a yellow?
Well, it goes back to lore and mythology. The mythology element first, there's a suggestion that out Modern Alien Abductors equate with, or are the same thing as, faeries or fauns or paganistic or nature dwellers of the ancient realm. Things or creatures that used to visit or abduct or otherwise interact with an earlier incarnation of mankind.
The gray (non-blinking alien) is part of UFO-abduction lore who takes people from their beds in the night and experiments on them and shows them visions of The Apocalypse, and the yellow (banana alien) is a test subject or invention or fantasy imagination creation made of banana skin for the purposes of stylistic comparison.
Duration of experiment: one hour.
Result: no aliens of either colour/variety arrived to share our coffee and chat with us, despite our enthusiastic and concerted efforts. Despite our assurances that nothing would happen to them.
One plausible conclusion is these aliens (or extra-dimensional mythical/fantastical beings who abduct humans in the night when they are at their rest) are afraid of us, are afraid of something we do, afraid of something we are capable of doing. To them. Or to their kind. Their universe might suffer every time we interact with it in these conscious ways.
I mean, think about it. They weren't afraid of us, they'd be strolling down the middle of our high streets blatantly interacting with us at the conscious level. But they're not. They scurry around in the dark. They're doing whatever they do in secret. They're adamantly non-communicating with us. Why would these super-dimensional beasts need such a tactical UPPER HAND?
What (about us) scares them so?
