Ways to experience an alien invasion

Well my comment on ancestry.com was facetious but none the less the video goes on to claim that there are over a million of these starseeds on our planet in addition to a next evolution of mankind called a Homo Noeticus, a new breed of humans that have psionic and "multidimensional" powers. Talk about X-Men! They are apparently coming man!!

To answer some details of your questions, i identify as a Starseed based on past life memories, and a few thusfar minor meta-abilities, so, while this body may be (mostly?) earth human, i insofar as an individual, don't really identify as an erth human.

To put it into pop culture parlance, it is a combination of Jupiter Ascending, and james cameron's Avatar, but somewhat reversed, and a splash of this or that other sci-fi element, as needed ..... and not nearly so jam-packed with action, somewhat unfortunately. It is very ambient, and interspersed.

This Outsider conception of [Me] is further supported by the fact(?) that i regularly astral project 'starside' to a ship, and into an avatar body of the appearance of my former galactic self, to then awaken and participate in, whatever helpful way i can. (Sadly, the dynamic nature of my sleeping habits makes efforts at a given task, Difficult).There has also been a time or two when i have physically (and voluntarily) gone aboard a ship that has come down to earth.

The primary difference between 'Abductees' and 'Contactees', is that the contactee is awake during the encounter, and, however unlikely they would say no, still has a valid and respected choice to Not go with said galactic people. Abductees, conversely, have no choice, and are forcibly sedated and taken.

Have you spoken to a trained and licensed mental health professional about this before? I am not qualified to diagnose your condition, or whether you are being sincere at all, but if you are, I do suspect that you may be in dire need of medical attention. This does not sound healthy in the best case, and in the worst it might be positively dangerous to yourself and those around you. Please, try and find help.

As much as I'd love to think some people are a different species, it's just silly larping wish fulfilment.

Better to view things as finding solutions rather then fixing problems IMO (the focus is more towards building future then analyzing past), so if one has a regular, routine and controllable experience then its a great chance to explore new boundaries with objective reality! What can experiences like that bring back to this rocky place!?

I for one really have no idea what you are trying to say here? Are you analyzing the OP or the recent posts? Isn't finding solutions just another way to say fixing problems? Those terms are interchangeable so how do you find them as contrasting? Building the future of what? How do you analyze past alien invasions? Do you have some special knowledge of the past that is not a part of general historical record? What rocky place? Do you mean this planet? Can you do a better job of explaining these concepts?

It's about 'how' things can be done. For most people (seemingly) it's too easy to just ignore doing things differently, and so what seems to happen is most people just pretend to know the fastest or best way, usually as taught, or previously handled. Doing the same thing and expecting different results means one is either stupid, or doesn't want different results because they are looking for your echo chamber concept. Or of course they just haven't realized how powerful the mind can be when it explores things in different types of focus.

As doing it those normal ways tends to lead to supporting subjective bias and other errors in critical thinking. So when when facing difference it's even more important to approach things from different paradigms, to allow more information to be explored and analyzed so that everyone can both learn more about it but also perhaps better decide an updated opinion on it - rather then just re-wearing the same worn suit. That does go back to the other thread as well, about what 'focus' represents.

So to the OP I think the focus should not be on our fear of losing our past, but our hope for building a better future.... while of course at all times being pragmatic and clear on who we are. The movie 'Arrival' is kewl about this topic.

For convenience I have highlighted the subject you are talking about, vaguely referred to by just "it". I'm having difficulty to find amidst this all the thing that you are actually talking about. It is not entirely clear to me that you are talking about anything at all, really. Are you?

So exactly what are these different processes on how things can be done and how do they differ from what you call normal ways? What are these normal ways and how are they insufficient and thus the cause of bias?

I dont think any effective process also requires speed. And even if a side effect of the best process also produces speed why would we ever strive for a less effective or process proven to produce ineffective results?

This idea you have seems to only want to produce justifications for the use of logical fallacy in an attempt to discredit highly capable processes that expose your inability to accept the truth of a matter. You want to believe something so badly that you throw all this long worded justification around in an attempt to convince others and yourself that your faulty conclusions actually have merit if we can just accept your faulty premise. A premise that you are trying to describe as being unfairly judged so because of that it should be accepted. But Logic does not work this way and what you are actually creating are just strawmans.

To me the prior parts of the post indicate the 'it' you highlite, namely exploring and understanding concepts and ideas, ie communication. Versus compulsion to reiterate ones position by approaching everything from the same paradigm. It's the interplay between critical thinking and imaginative thinking under the auspices of exploration, with the purpose being to shape growth of self and others. It's part of how I see the Jedi path. How do you see the Jedi path in relation to this topic?

For one of the problems of being stuck in a narrow mindset is that one tends to only see that which appears relevant to their mindset, and cannot understand difference... inevitably even making their existence centered around a root of fear in being wrong or misunderstood. I think that is where compulsion becomes obsessive compulsion, and its a problem because they don't know its a problem. For after all, the definition of mental health is a more about effective functioning then meeting social norms or beliefs - and its those problems which are hidden which cause the most damage because they need to make a big impact before they wake up to it if they are a sociopath, or so big that society stops them if they are a psychopath. Meanwhile the rest of everyone else is probably not making a dent enough for it to be anything more then a chain around their own necks ie holding back their own progress.

You could take a course of analysis and critical thinking to find that out. I've done a few and its mostly what they talk about.

Things change, and because of that information has 'recency' as an attribute of accuracy. Speed is really only relevant depending on the other competing priorities or rate of change in the attributes of the process parts, probably.

How so?

What is it you think I am believing? It sounds more like your just constructing a narrative to suit your disagreement with me on something. What exactly do you disagree with again?

Logic is only useful in working with the known. If you don't have the full picture or are not using exact definitions, then you gotta operate conceptually using analysis. Analytical thinking is different to logical thinking, and they are both parts of critical thinking IMO (but I could be swayed that critical thinking is its own thing). Sticking with logical thinking is probably an example of that narrow minded approach to communication I was mentioning in my previous post, because its not always going to be relevant or useful.

@adder, no logic is useful in working with the unknown as well. So is critical thinking and skeptisism. What I am asking you is specifically what types of thinking are you talking about when you say you deploy different methods? So far you have avoided my question until now.

I am somewhat a student of thinking so I know well of what you are rather vaguely describing. You mention critical thinking here finally but you are correct, there are many forms of thinking, which also includes forms like fallacious and magical thinking. So what I am asking is which forms are you using or finding useful and why?

@Kyrin, It's probably just a semantic difference in subjective and objective TBH, but just because you might not understand me doesn't mean I'm being evasive. And if I don't answer doesn't mean I can't. But I've tried to answer as much as possible but I note you tend not to answer my questions... so maybe your projecting your evasion there!? Anyway, that is time wasting... and perhaps be that fear based reaction I mention probably, if you were assured your right then anything which doesn't align is wrong, inciting a defensive manner :silly:

But I have been giving you examples non-stop, its just perhaps you don't want to hear them because they are probably relevant to your own experience so much you wouldn't want to accept it! Hopefully not.... as I'm not trying to be so specific as to be personal but communication tends to evolve that way. All that is a long way of saying you might be looking for answers which fit your paradigms because your counters seem irrelevant, and so I find myself repeating myself in different ways.

As I've explained previously their (paradigms) domain's tend to be defined by the effectiveness their techniques have.... so to me objective reality is a frame of reference in an objective (coordinate) space - which needs logical foundations to underpin truth, as it serves as knowledge. While subjective reality is an objective space which does not need logical foundations to underpin experience. Calling subjective experience as having its own objective existence might be uncomfortable and not readily understood by most but it's required in the modification of it, which is where the emergence of domains allows different paradigms to have specialized place. As mind seems to sit in a subjective space with access to both those frames of reference.... and others, for using different models of subjective reality provide ways to process information, within the time line available to us. If one views the Force as unknowable, and that it is experienced through the vehicle of body and mind, then that is the vehicle to connect and interact with the Force. So if someone else has no use or belief in the Force, or has a different view of the Force, then they will have different techniques for connecting or interacting with it - but trying to disprove them firstly requires something to disprove... and just trying to criticize applications by using unrelated paradigms serves no purpose unless your actually interested in learning that persons methods!? Which is the only reason I'm responding at all, for there is nothing I'm trying to prove and nothing for you to disprove.

As I've said to you a few times in different ways now in the last week or so, you seem focused on quantification of objective states, and the defense of processes which support them... while I'm talking about qualitative experience of both subjective and objective interactions and the tools to work with them. I think your asking for the tools... but its not something you just reach into a box and grab. If you want to start somewhere dedicate a decade to Patanjali's Yoga Sutra's and try and use that as a foundation for generating some progress. I know you've indicated your tried lots of things, but if you've had no progress then try them differently perhaps. These things are not paths for followers or listeners, but explorers..... ie psychonautics but without the entheogenics! I'd suggest the important thing is to use existing and enduring methods to create changes in perception (not post-enlightenment age Western derivatives) and then engineer more contemporary or radical techniques to generate connection and growth of that progress.

But to continue on, it seems your mixing up the qualitative nature of your processes with my qualitative natures of experiences just because they happen to share a relation to the objective reality. It's an unnecessary conflation which seems to serve no purpose to me, but instead seems to reiterate some established approach closely aligned to scientific method as worldview. It feels argumentative and closed, so I'm probably not understanding what your asking. To me the scientific method is just the most effective paradigm to assess likely truth in its appropriate domain. But since the OP was not asking about truth of aliens, again that approach seems almost off-topic. In regards to alien abduction and species hybridization etc, proof should be more easily sought and found (if it exists at all), but shouldn't life be about the journey of exploring, and not just reinforcing? I guess for me the e in Jedi is exploration.

There should be enough in there for anyone to pick apart :woohoo:

@adder, First I'm not here to pick your comments apart so much as to get into the meat of them and understand them better. Secondly I must apologize if you feel I have not answered any of your questions, That was never my intent so if you feel there is a question you have asked I have not answered by all means ask again and I shall endeavor to do my best to answer it.

While I may agree there might be some semantic difference in the details of the thinking styles we have been discussing I would disagree that there is only a semantic difference in subjective vs objective. I am well aware of the contexts you are referring to but I find your assessment of these individual contexts not fully developed. That is where I'm finding issue.

I suggest we stop talking in abstracts and take a more concrete example, namely the subject of this threads OP. From this point let me try and describe what I believe it is you are trying to convey. You have this idea that there is subjective experience and objective experience. So objectively the thread is about an alien invasion. However objectively speaking we have no experience in which to draw any conclusions from and so the argument can be made objectively that it’s never been proven aliens even exist and so that argument can be made.

However, from your argument, I understand you saying that subjectively we have the ability to bypass that objective reality and its inherent truth and take it one step further to make up the hypothetical situation in which we don’t have to prove aliens exist before we can explore how we would handle an alien invasion. In other words we get to make a presupposition that aliens exist and they can and/or will have invaded. And we begin at that point subjectively where we can’t do this objectively, and we can explore that experience subjectively in an environment free of objective reality.

Is this close to what you are trying to say? If so I agree with this assessment. However the point I was trying to make is that while these objective and abstract exercises are highly valuable they are really irrelevant to how we actually live our lives in objective reality. And when we proceed to actually make them relevant we run the risk of cognitive bias concerning objective reality. So we must be careful how we proceed subjectively or we skew our objective experience.

In other words, if we can’t map our subjective experience onto an aspect of objective reality it becomes a meaningless component of our psyche for anything other than abstract analysis. The practice of never allowing subjective analysis that cant be mapped onto objective reality into our objective view gives us the skeptical analysis power to always view reality with the highest percentage of truth possible. So I don’t know if you agree with this or not but I suspect you might and in that we may find common ground.

But no guarantee exists that I will make any sense, its in the fine print of the readers agreement you all signed whilst sleeping!!!

The most recent way I described it should have said something like it being a 'subjective reality' having both an experience of an 'objective space' and a 'subjective space'. But yea, trying to unpick semantic differences does not help my cause so I should just stick to clarifying my own.... so, the 'space' is the frames of reference used to interact with them, requiring different types of processes, and the 'reality' is the coordinate system ie thinking; the procession of meaning/concept. So an alien invasion might happen in both the objective space (eg Arrival) or the subjective space (eg Bird Box), depending on how they chose to interact with humanity.

What your getting at I think is that most likely an alien invasion will be a physical objective dilemma, and so it will require efforts to be firmly rooted in the objective space to the extent that it needs to be seen as being distinctly a higher order then the subjective (during the occurrence) - which is where I think the meaning of real in reality has its weight. It's the same thing with war... it's hard and sharp and will take your head off if your day dreaming
But my first comment in this thread was just saying there is more to explore in this topic then being so narrow as to stay in the scientific objective sand pit. An invasion could happen wholly or in part via the apparatus of the mind, within the subjective realm.

Sidenote; additionally, I'm using the term 'realm' to denote what I call one of two 'reality matrices', each one being the combination of subjective experience minus the other 'space'. How well one functions in any particular realm then is just how effectively they proportion their efforts in that regard (ie mapping the appropriate space).

@adder, well you are correct in one aspect, you do not make any sense whatsoever. I was originally baffled by big bird but your edit to bird box makes as little sense. I have even consulted with Gisteron on your comments in an attempt to decipher them and you seem to have left us both speechless. At this point I can only conclude you are fucking with me and so I find myself forced to abandon this idiotic conversation. The main point I am forced to present in this resignation is that aliens cant invade our subjective reality independantly of our objective reality. This requires a schism of mental processes that equates to skitsophrenia and so I can only hope you get the care that you need. Best of luck my friend.

Is that all you could go to! Crikey, reaching much... LOL. Well perhaps they used the same technology that they used to travel light years..... I mean, we are talking about 'aliens invading' aren't we.

Weren't you getting in on the discourse in the other thread about how inappropriate it was to tell people what they could or could not say? As I've said before.... surely there is no the harm in discussing fiction to explore the intersection between known and unknown.

Speaking of which, that is twice in this thread people have made mental health accusations against other members. I think its inappropriate and against the ToS myself. If you really think that much then wouldn''t it be better to show a little tact and tell them in private message... unless the intent is to make a public attack out of it of course.

You addressed none of my previous post and instead lead me further down a rabbit hole of meta-nonsense. What do you expect me to conclude?

Kyrin Wyldstar wrote: You addressed none of my previous post and instead lead me further down a rabbit hole of meta-nonsense. What do you expect me to conclude?

Wrong. Your post had a false assertion as the the basis of your follow on points and questions. Being as quoted;
" You have this idea that there is subjective experience and objective experience. So objectively the thread is about an alien invasion"

So I pointed it out and tried to correct that false assertion. Being;
"The most recent way I described it should have said something like it being a 'subjective reality' having both an experience of an 'objective space' and a 'subjective space'. "

And then went onto provide reasoning as to why my position on it was valid by clarifying an example as you requested. You choosing to deny the existence of any possibility of 'mind control' technologies ever existing does not change my point that if they could then they might be used and therefore excluding it was limiting to the scope of conversation. The only rabbit hole I see happens to be the one you want me to follow down... the one that has no relevance to my post you initially replied to. Where you were relevant I have tried to reply. Don't get unbalanced by not having anywhere to go just because I can defend my own point, as that much should probably be expected!!

Oh wow... you really need to spend a bit more time studying not only my posts but also the general philosophy of conversation. I made no assertions. In fact I tried to "strong man" your argument in my words so that you could correct inconsistency. Instead of doing this you elected to take your argument further down a rabbit hole of evasive, abstract, esoteric gibberish.

At this point this is actually the very FIRST reference you have EVER made to actual mind control! Do you expect your audience to just be able to read your mind??? And just telepathically find what you mean??? If not your writing style is incredibly lazy and infested with inuendo and syllogysm.
