#oh. reincarnation is real btw. say the abductees

[agios-rio]

What I've learned from my book of alien abduction cases so far*:

- aliens are keeping an eye on us because they want to figure out what went wrong with our development as a species

- because impending self-annihilation shouldn't be the way of things

- rather we should be finding ways to connect to each other, other species, and eventually other planes of existence

- they are trying to help us without intervening directly because they know we would lash out in fear

- they are amazed at our capacity for feelings. they don't feel as intense as we do (but they do feel the same things)

- and they love us. they love us a lot. they love us. they care about what happens to us because they love us.

Look. Am I 100% convinced this is true? Nah. But it's a nice thought. If there are beings out there I'd rather they adored us. And being saved from the pickle we've manoeuvred ourselves into makes me way more hopeful than any alternatives. Because we sure as fuck ain't going to get ourselves out of this alone. And I like the idea of the universe running on love. So I'll just integrate all that into my belief system.
