We Are All Aliens!

We are all aliens upon this planet, all acting out roles weve learned from each other during the course of our existence.

How to be noticed as a baby, how to communicate our needs, how to develop as a young child growing up, how to utilize our abilities and talents, how to get what we want as adults, how to live and interact with people in this world. How to dance, how to cook, how to seduce.

For every meeting, for every encounter, somebody is relaying as much of the people who have influenced his life as you are relaying your influences to him/her. Through words, feelings and perceptions you are learning the way people have spoken, felt and expressed themselves around him/her. You are learning his/life experience; he/she is copying and relaying every single thing he/she has heard and seen to you.

We are all actors and actresses; acting like people weve watched, reacting like people weve watched, thinking like people weve watched. This is how the cultures of people begin, this is how groups have identifiable characteristics and interests, and this is how things are classified into like and not like.

Interestingly, I think our brains actually get telepathic flashes of the people and events that replay in the eyes and expressions of a person relaying his/her personality to us. Laughter, clothing, hobbies, and even down to how you open the door to your room and walk in or pour yourself a glass of water. You are doing what you have watched done at some point in your life. Watched, heard, read about, deciphered intuitively. A series of repetitions.

Its why mentally impaired people that do not seem to fit the order of this world do not fit the order of this world. Their senses are not tuned into receiving and duplicating in some way, at least not the influence of people acting around them. They mix up the signals and cross wires. They stop copying; stop acting. They are disconnected from their roles in the drama of life.

Its fascinating.
