What are extraterrestrials?

Answer 1

I have been working on a Science Fair project on this topic, as I am very interested in other intelligent, free-will life forms.

In my opinion, aliens, or the E.T. are not small little green, or gray men, with enormous heads, and large, mirror-like black eyes. Noting their amazing intelligence, they are probably forms of energy, capable of shifting shapes, of taking the look of a person they see, carefully acknowledging their strengths and weaknesses.

Being intelligent, doesn't make them small and weak physically. Yes, they have huge brainpower, but some amount of strength is also required.

What is described is one terrestrial vision of what constitutes an "extraterrestrial" (the standard description of beings from Zeta Reticuli, in particular). There are many, many stories of these beings, and so many others, but have you considered the possibility of stepping outside of time and having a conversation with the being that you will have become (and already are) at the end of time? That being is you and so much more than you. In essence, your life, as important and immediate as it is to you right now, is just a story written in its soul. One story among many. But that entity is still you. The difference between you and that: you think you are not that. It knows it is you. Buddha made a similar comment: "The difference between you and I: you think there's a difference, I know there isn't." Perhaps you might consider widening/broadening your definition of "extraterrestrial" to be more inclusive.
