The interesting thing is that the Grey aliens are known to have two different types (at least).
The small grey is the one who acts like a hive mind and the tall greys are like the overseers, figuring out tasks that need to be done.
One of my friends sees grey aliens, so I asked her about it to check. She thought about it and said, yes, the tall greys are more creative and the smaller ones are more like robots.
Don't ask me how she can see them
At any rate, what was I thinking... if their society needed to harvest spiritual energy to either rebuild or whatnot...
They could:
1) Harvest our extra creativity.
2) Lease out the human race for a while to help replenish their own stores.
3) Actually steal the spiritual sources themselves.
Although, maybe the use of the creativity in the tall grey Matriarch is enough to order around the others? Think of an ant colony, for example, for similar psychology.edit on 10-6-2013 by darkbake because: (no reason given)

Assuming these aliens exist, which they do not, I will play along and point out some errors. Creativity is not energy. Creativity is not even a single attribute, much like intelligence is not a single attribute. Creativity is simply a way to explain the way a creature solves a problem. Animals are also creative. It can not be lost or depleted. Your suggestion that without this energy you could not fix a window, well you also couldnt walk, as any time a obstacle was in front of you the way around it could never be determined. Any race that completely lacked "creativity" would die out as they could no longer function.
You then jump to spiritual energy, as if somehow spiritual energy and creative energy are obviously the same thing. Why are they? If there is a spirit and spiritual energy what logical explanation could there be for it being depleted? Their equipment would decay due to them not knowing how to repair it anymore I suppose? Well as I showed, the way you talk about creativity the entire race would be dead, so yes their equipment would decay as the beings who built would be extinct, unable to solve the simplest problem such as how to hunt or gather food.
Creativity is the result of the normal function of the brain. How can this be harvested? What the heck do you mean by lease out the human race? And how can spiritual energy be stolen and what in the world does it have to do with creativity which is simply a word to describe the ability to come up with a new idea, a normal function of brains.edit on 10-6-2013 by OccamsRazor04 because: (no reason given)edit on 10-6-2013 by OccamsRazor04 because: (no reason given)
The lobotomy procedure can have severe negative effects on a patient's personality and ability to function independently.[127] Lobotomy patients often show a marked reduction in initiative and inhibition.[128] They may also exhibit difficulty putting themselves in the position of others because of decreased cognition and detachment from society.[129]
The small grey is the one who acts like a hive mind and the tall greys are like the overseers, figuring out tasks that need to be done.
From which psychology research paper dealing with non-existing beings has this information been retrieved from?

You bring up some good points, sounds like fun to talk about.
There could be a separation in hypothetical Grey Society, for one, with communication between the Matriarch and the drones acting as a frontal lobe.
