Am I the only one who finds the concept of summoning non-human intelligences (NHI) a bit egotistical? While I believe that the mystical elements surrounding this topic often detract from concrete proof and the more practical aspects, I can\u2019t shake the feeling that the belief in these phenomena is inherently self-centered\u2014especially in how proponents express their views.<\/p>\n
Take, for instance, the notion of using “psionic abilities” to summon NHIs. It strikes me as rather egotistical. Asking for a dramatic display, like a UFO dogfight, can come across as a mere spectacle for entertainment. What gives humanity the right to think we can summon beings from higher dimensions? I mean, these entities might just be doing their own thing until a “mighty” human calls them forth. It raises an intriguing question: Can NHIs summon humans too?<\/p>\n
It’s ironic how the spiritual perspective stands in contrast to the more concrete, \u201cnuts and bolts\u201d view. If humanity were to confirm the existence of extraterrestrials, many proponents of the nuts and bolts approach believed it would humble us, challenging our sense of self-importance and our place in the universe compared to the divine or the apex of creation.<\/p>\n
Yet now, with the rise of “woo,” humanity seems to be reasserted as special. Suddenly, we’re in a position to wield control over an entire universe or reality through sheer willpower. This perspective places humans at the center of existence, which diverges sharply from the humbling implications of the nuts and bolts theory.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
