General Discussion
A few days ago, I had an interaction with an alien species on the astral plane. I haven't heard anyone talk about this species, so I thought I would share.
I plugged in SeptaSync, and went on a journey to the stars. I came upon a dark void with a distant sun, and in the middle of it, was an alien. Its shape was like nothing I've seen before. It had a human-like body, shoulder, torso. No legs I could discern. Emerging from its shoulders was a rod of skin. A neck with no head at the end. There was a bit of a nib at the end, like at the end of a q-tip. The skin was dark and striated. Like the chin of a blue whale -- long lined folds from the top to the bottom. Over its shoulders was a drape -- a cloak? -- but a sort of see-through body.
I was so excited because I love interacting with aliens. So I jumped around like a golden retriever ready to play fetch!
This particular alien was very reserved. Despite my excitement, it stood still, waiting for me to calm down. Then, I remembered the Essasani people and how they go into different civilizations to learn from them. I would take the moment to learn.
I explained to it -- seemingly male -- how we come to earth to work through our emotions and create. We learn to overcome fear, anxiety, guilt, shame, grief, jealousy, etc. If we can work with these emotions, learning to overcome them, we become strong to create physical things in the world. For some, it's books, institutions, dance, businesses, paintings, bridges, etc. We are a species who works tremendously through the heart, which can sometimes to be to our detriment. Many times we have developed a love for violence, harm, control, war. I showed him my experience as a soldier in Iraq. And we justify it with logic and reasoning.
In return, it showed me that their species was a logical-first species, heart secondary or tertiary. It showed me the many battles and wars they all fought. Destruction after destruction, era after era. Yet, every time right before they destroy themselves, they know the outcome. They'll come right back and repeat the pattern, yet they keep doing it.
Wow, just like us, I said.
Then, it said something that I've read in Elan's book -- it had the ability to perceive space-time as a 7th or 8th sense. In order to overcome an overly logical brain, they needed to see into time and the many permutations of it. With a clear sense of what the future held, and the consequences of their actions, they worked out the "logic" of not destroying themselves. This is how they overcame war, by peering into time.
To put this into perspective, in Eastern thought, the logical and reasoning parts of ourselves are the servants of intuition/heart energy. They are great at perceiving the past. And intuition is used to look into the future. Together, they help us build our present. For this alien species, without a clear intuition or heart energy, their way of looking into the future was through the space-time perception.
In the midst of the journey, and being in resonance with this being, my heart began beating unbearably strong, and I had to exit promptly. I thanked the being and reflected on the interaction for a few days.
