God and man. What say you? Man as a mortal human? Or... Man as the immortal, spiritual image and likeness of God... the crowning compound idea of creation, exercising dominion over the imaged forth infinities of God's creation with the mind of Christ? ["Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus."]
At the risk of shattering a few world views, I submit that it's time to start thinking on a more cosmic level and truly consider what it means to be God's man. What we see in this world is only a fraction of the whole. Let's face it, in the galaxy of interdimensional abilities, we might be viewed as being rather puny physical specimens on the grand scale of physical specimens, and could easily fall under some fairy or demon spell and wind up on Ralph's or E.T.'s menu at any time.
We call other beings aliens, fairies, elves, Bigfoot, etc. They occupy other dimensions and have developed the advanced ability to interface with ours, more so than we have with theirs. Of course they are real, corporeal that is, because people have seen and interacted with them throughout history. The Bible and ancient texts hint at the existence of men unlike ourselves, and our mythologies and countless fables speak to this as being so. ["In my father's house there are many mansions."]
These other entities are in the family of man, the brotherhood of man, our neighbors, and are subject to the same eternal laws of love and transcendental truth, as well as the same corporeal temptations and laws of matter specific to their worlds... good and evil, hungering after the flesh, sin, disease, and death, just as we are. God is the only power, so the same power that created us as good also created them as good. ["And God saw all the things that he had made, and, behold, they were very good."]["For in him were created all things in heaven and on earth, the visible and the invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers; all things were created through him and for him."]
Bear in mind, all that is found in the world or in some other worldly dimension of flesh (matter) is a carcass (perishable)... Jesus's words, not mine. Engage the sub-spiritual concepts of predator and prey, add the knowledge of good and evil, and this becomes clear. So to overcome and become like Daniel in the lion's den, or to find the place in mind where the wolf and the lamb dwell together and the little child is leading them, or to be transfigured as Enoch and walk with God is wisdom. ["Believe in the light, that you may become sons of light."] Love neither eats nor is eaten, and the thoughts we give our brother to know us are the thoughts we receive to know him. ["Seek for yourselves a place for rest, or you might become a carcass and be eaten."]
Know that Jesus came and will reappear. The truth always does. Know that the same truth has undoubtedly appeared to beings in other dimensions and will also return to them again... as Jesus, Exemplar, Comforter, Herald of Truth, manifesting in a form recognizable to other types of flesh in other dimensions. How could it not be so? ["For there is no favor by appearance with God."] Who's listening? Who's watching? Who's loving? Who has bad intentions? Who's afraid? Who's our neighbor? Who has advanced farther into the realm of love, us or beings who are able to dematerialize and assume a form of light? Who's nailing their Jesus to the interdimensional wood?
If bad actors abound in our world, they most certainly occupy other realms, too. Perhaps if we fix what's broken in our world as Jesus has so instructed, we will earn a seat at the universal table in heaven and finally find sustenance in love instead of feeding on each other. ["Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself."]
Fee-fi-fo-fum
It's no fun
To be eaten
By an alien!
We are not alone in the universe. A few years ago, this notion seemed farfetched; today, the existence of extraterrestrial intelligence is taken for granted by most scientists. Even the staid National Academy of Sciences has gone on record that contact with other civilizations "is no longer something beyond our dreams but a natural event in the history of mankind that will perhaps occur in the lifetime of many of us."
...
And after we resolve our pressing scientific questions, it might be appropriate to make discrete inquiries as to how we could live in harmony and peace with our fellow man - that is, if we aren't eaten or otherwise ingested by the superior civilization that had the good fortune to contact us.
