How to see an extraterrestrial

Before revealing this foolproof method of coming face-to-face with an ET, we need to make a few quick comments on human nature and some of our… “peculiarities” in comparison to the rest of the natural world.

Firstly, we know that planet Earth is populated by over twenty-five million species of flora and fauna (with some disappearing daily and others being discovered for the first time). These organisms range from the monstrously huge (such as blue whales and elephants) to minute and nearly imperceptible microbes. Nearly every earthly ecosystem imaginable is populated by something.

But this smooth biological mixture is not without its anomalies. A seemingly out-of-place element resides amidst the harmony: Homo Sapiens. Possessing neither claws nor fangs, this somewhat weak, fragile, and bipedal creature is without doubt the planet’s top species, having dominion over the lives and fate of everything alive surrounding it. While some would attribute this to simple adaptability and more efficient gray matter, it might be more appropriate to emphasize this species’ uncanny ability to seemingly continuously strive to surpass itself and destroy previous limitations – to the point where even the casual observer must conclude that in all probability, the creature is trying to become something other than itself.

One need not look too far or back in history for such individuals. Besides masters such as Pythagorus, Jesus, Mohammed, Ghandi, Confuscius, and many others, other more accessible individuals exemplify humanity’s trait of wanting to “break the limits”. The legendary (and now deceased) rock climber Dan Osman, for instance, amazed onlookers as vertical cliff walls hundreds of feet high (check out his Lover’s Leap video on YouTube) were effortlessly climbed in minutes – with bare hands and no equipment aside for runners and chalk!

Another comparable individual is Hannah Stacey, the current UK record holder in the realm of deep-sea diving. At 50 kg and a mere 1.6 m in height, the “atomic tadpole” can hold her breath under water for over four and a half minutes. And while her current best depth is 54 m, she is aiming to break the 60 m barrier. Will she do it? Evolution and personal drive affirms that she (or ones following in her footsteps) will.Brawn might impress the masses, but cerebral power also has its adepts. Einstein, of course, continues to command respect from the scientific world. But as with all trailblazers, even his theories are being questioned and revised. And one need only turn on the television to catch a glimpse of the latest child prodigy excelling in the areas of art, business, or sports. These days, bosses and CEOs have a slim but viable chance of being less than 12 years old.

The human animal does indeed share much in common with the natural world, but again, one must ask why? What is the secret or force behind its drive? Whether one believes in random trial and error or divine intervention and guidance, the final outcome becomes one of realizing that in all likelihood, the human animal is a creature in transit. Homo Sapiens is fated one day to either disappear entirely…or mutate to the point where it is a part of the natural world and apart from it. Almost an observer more than a participant.

Is evolution truly linear then? Or is it in fact circular?

And so now comes the test. Here is where you have a chance to see an ET in the flesh. Simply walk over to the nearest mirror and carefully observe what lies before you. The looking glass does not veil truth, you see, for there is more to this Being than meets the eye, and what was once the enemy of planet Earth will surely turn itself around in due time to become its savior. Ironically, the gate and key are both watched over by the same amnesic guardsman.
