Sample Chapter 9
Looking For The Others And Vice-Versa
We are the smartest creatures around; or so we claim to think. How do we know that there aren't any other smarter creatures, here on earth? How do we know that some of the creatures whose intelligence we have studied haven't deliberately misled us; knowing very well the kind of repercussion they would suffer if we were to find out the truth? Perhaps, like other animals, we are equipped with special sets of qualities that are only noticeable to us. Maybe other animals feel the same about themselves too. Judging from their sense of smell, touch, hearing or even electrical impulses, they might have stronger reasons to believe they rule the world too.
Self-preservation is said to be the first law of nature. So while man spends billions peeking at the sky looking for that elusive creature, some super intelligent animal might already be aware of us and simply decided to lie low. If that is so, never talk of keeping your enemies closer because it might just make aliens nervous!
It's akin to being in a world war and your enemy is approaching a river on foot; a river that has killer acid or gas in it. Don't you think it will be folly to fight them before they attempt to cross the river over to you? The sensible thing would be to watch from a far. Those that safely cross then face your ready gun. Let's take dolphins for example. How do we know how intelligent they are? Could it be possible that they are so intelligent that they've decided not to show us the full extent of their intelligence! Could they be so intelligent not to allow themselves to live the life that they desire; when we are watching especially?
And so is there proof that aliens exist? That’s one question that is raising a lot of suspicion all over the place. Alien movies have become ran away successes because of this disturbing question. Well, let's take a break and think like an alien. Imagine that you came across man and discovered that they are also intelligent beings. What would you do? What's the best way to keep track of man and ensure that he doesn't put your very own civilization at risk?
I would say, inhabit earth or send your very own intelligent creatures and have them continuously collect and send data from earth to their mother planet without man ever knowing it. So maybe, they have been quietly watching us—as we go about the folly of destroying our planet—all along and are happy about it. Like the proverbial “ill bird” that fouls its own nest, we might be playing right into their hands.
And so it could be that, so long as man remains within his current boundaries, everything remains cool. The day man will get over his follies and maybe love, righteousness and living in harmony with nature, become the new trends; that could be the day the aliens show us their might. Maybe it will happen the day there is proof that aliens exist, who knows!
Thinking of it that way makes sense. We need to be averse that the discovery of another “superior creature” might not go down well. It could actually be a very violent experience that could actually lead to the devastation of both sides; depending on the weaponry each side possesses. So far, I believe, man has not been eavesdropping or secretly watching any alien creature. So I guess when the day comes to trade blows, man will be at a disadvantage. We will not have known the enemy at all; let alone known him long enough. We will still be divided according to countries, continents, religions, race etc. Just the way any external aggressor would like it. It's so much so that even meteorites, bent on obliterating us, can easily finish the job while we try to organize our counter measures.
How do we know that the current wars we are facing on earth are not a grand-scheme by aliens aimed at obliterating us? Maybe, they have a way of influencing our thoughts! Or maybe they have penetrated the human race and are undetectable! Maybe they are using this to rule the earth and ensure we are headed for ruin!
It's like being in a bus, driven by a sober driver with a deadly mission to kill everyone on-board. And having drunk, oblivious and rowdy, hooligans” as fellow passengers. If this is truly the case, how will we turn the tables? How will the bunch of drunks wrench the control of the bus from the sober driver, bent on harming them? What if someone in that crowd has been pretending to be drunk and oblivious too; but is actually sober and hiding a weapon on behalf of the driver? Imagine being the one who discovers the ploy! How would you react? Hmm! All can I do is pity if that person will be you……
The aliens are perhaps at a higher level of intelligence. They might be as united as a single item. They might have a sense that when applied, makes them invisible; almost like the alien in, “Predator,” the movie starring Arnold Schwarzenegger.
With that regard, we definitely need to start looking inside the box too. Sticking to only one strategy might just offer that needed change but no solution. And while we are on the issue of change we need to be clear on beneficial change and harmful change. We've heard of people deciding to start taking drugs or alcohol to help them go through a problem or challenge. This might construe thinking outside the box, just like killing your competitors is; but that's no credible solution.
Aliens might already be living here on earth and could have been identified by man and named. Meaning they might have, since, become some of the marvelous creatures of Mother Earth. It could all be a ploy to convince man that all animals and plants, that are existing here on earth, are part of the earth's living things; and hence the need to focus on outside this planet. How do we know that the alien's informer is not, man's best friend, the dog? Have you ever looked deeply into the eyes of a dog that's also looking at you! Or maybe it's the cat that is the alien! Maybe they have us all fooled. They also die, do stupid things and their brains are smaller. But maybe that's all an act.
Add our creator's say or influence in all this and you might agree that we could be holding the wrong end of the stick with regards to this topic. "The Grand Counter Test" could in future be an inevetable desperate act by man when the aliens finally show up and fight us." So it might not be a question of "if" but "when;" with regards to the "The Grand Counter Test" now that the secret is out"
