Thank you for the interesting post to ponder.
whats confusing is they seem to be able to use both worlds easily in terms of going in and out or usage of both the physical and other plane or non physical maybe invisible world we share with them and were just finding out?
That brought to mind something I've not read or thought about in a long while that came from Plato. The allegory of the cave.
In the allegory, Socrates describes a group of people who have lived chained to the wall of a cave all their lives, facing a blank wall. The people watch shadows projected on the wall from objects passing in front of a fire behind them and give names to these shadows. The shadows are the prisoners' reality, but are not accurate representations of the real world. Three higher levels exist: the natural sciences; mathematics, geometry, and deductive logic; and the theory of forms.
Socrates explains how the philosopher is like a prisoner who is freed from the cave and comes to understand that the shadows on the wall are actually not reality at all. A philosopher aims to understand and perceive the higher levels of reality. However, the other inmates of the cave do not even desire to leave their prison, for they know no better life.
Are Aliens actually just a higher reality we only see as shadows? Something that's always been there around us but our limited vision won't allow us to recognize them. We live our lives chained to the wall only seeing their shadows, blissfully unaware of the real world around us?
Interesting.
