Post #368, "The Alien Self", 2018

What would the Alien Self look like?

But---We know!
We know the answer.

We have already Dreamt the Image.

The Alien Self is the worst we can Image,

It is the scariest we can Image.
The Alien Self is the opposite of our Perception of the Perfect Self. 

The Alien Self is the worst we Fear Becoming.
We Dream of Becoming Perfection.

We Dream the Perfection of God.

But we Fear Becoming the Horror of Satan.

We Dream our God.
We Fear our Satan.
Or better yet,
We Fear our Satan,
and so we Dream our God.
Yet our Dream Creates our Fear
for only when we Dream God, does Satan appear.

In the Duality of Creation Exists the Dream and its Opposite, the Nightmare.

In the Duality of Existence is the Duality of Consciousness,
and in the Duality of Consciousness is the Duality of Creation,
and in the Duality of Creation lies the Duality of Humanity,
-----Duality Creating Duality,
until so many pieces and so many parts,
all threatening to dissolve into the dust of elementary particles floating
in the sea of Pre-creation

We Dream Immortality.
But we Fear our Mortality.
Mortality can only Exist because Immortality Exists.

Would the Alien Self look familiarly human or perhaps resemble reptiles?
If reptilian, would our reptilian Self have large black eyes with vertical pupils,
scales, and three fingered claw-like hands?
To Dream such an Image, to Create such an Image,
Consciousness must be Aware of its Alien Self.
The Alien Self must be made to Exist in our Created reality,
maybe looming larger and stronger than the Dream,
because our Dream is dependent on it.
We cannot seem to Perceive our Dream unless we first Perceive its opposite.
What is and who is this Alien Self that haunts us from the very Beginning of our
Dream of Becoming?

Are Aliens not the gods pictured in ancient cave drawings and
the monsters of ancient stories, myths and lore,
or are Aliens what our gods protect us from?
Are the Aliens not often pictured as the Dragons of yore,
 that when brought down,
 tortured and killed,
 bring forth the perfection of history's greatest heroes and saints?
Sometimes we seem able to recognize them,
more often we Create them,
because without them there would be no chance at Becoming Perfect.
Is it possible that Monsters Create Saints?
----that Self could not Dream Perfection without the Creation of the 'other-than-Self,
for what could possibly Exist besides Self in the Womb of Self?
What could possibly be Observed when Self is Self and Self contains Self
within it-Self?
And how could Self know Self in the Selfness of Self,
 if Self could never be Observed as Self by that which is Other
-----totally Other in Otherness, in Singularity?
Maybe these monsters are what we have tried to turn the Other-than-ourselves into.

 We seem to have confused our monsters with our gods.
Why have we Created the means to bring the 'horrible' and scary into our Existence?
Why do we hide this reality of what we have Created our-Selves to Become?
It must be because this Alien Exists and operates on a suppressed level of our Existence,
operating and controlling our Perceived reality of Who We Are and why We Do
What We Do.

Existence is not only Duality but Dichotomous Duality.
Created Existence comes with the Created actuality and its opposite.
In Creation, 'up' requires 'down' and 'hot' requires 'cold',
'fast' requires 'slow' and 'sound' requires 'silence'.
It seems we could not know the actuality without the opposite.
Could we know 'good' if we did not Create 'evil'?
Could we know 'holy' if we did not Create 'sin'?
Do we Create an Alien Self that we may know who we are?
Could we Exist if we could not compete to determine where Perfection lies?
And if we cannot determine Perfection,
How can we determine God?

If we Desire Perfection, do we not Create the Existence of what is flawed
that we may establish a Process by which we may gain Perfection?
We all seem to be looking toward a better place or toward becoming a better
person than we are.
We seem to need a Process from which we move from a Beginning to a Desired Ending.
We seem to seek a Process that is the opposite of the actuality.
Creation is a Process of Division,
yet, Humanity Experiences this Process as a Process of Becoming,
as a Process of Becoming the fulfillment of a Dream.
So, Humanity is,
as Consciousness is,
as Existence is,
not only Duality, but also Dichotomy.

We Dream the Dream of Brotherhood, but not Sisterhood, or better yet, non-divided Humanity.
We do not even come close to realizing the depths and horrors of our Division.
We can't even see or guess at what we have Chosen to Become.
We can't see the that what Began as a point in Creation will pyramid to an expansion
of the Self that it may return again to a point that will finalize its Ending.
The pyramid symbol of many becoming One at its apex,
describes a system that defines elimination as growth,
that defines elimination as advancement, as prosperity.
At each level of this pyramid of the Ideal of solo power control,
people are eliminated
 each level grows itself through
elimination,
of more and more people.
Those Perceiving their 'Chosen-ness' are not able to Observe that they are also in line
for Elimination.
All will be Eliminated until One,
Only One remains as the survivor of the ruthlessness of 'Advancement'.
That our Created life is not just a pyramid of Exclusion and Elimination at all the layers and
levels of history that culminate at a tip of the Oneness of ultimate and supreme control.
That Oneness is not tolerated into Elimination of all Other.
That the Divided Humanity of our Dream and our Opposite,
our Alien Self is able to be Observed and not Perceived through Dreaming.

So, there is a battle.
Self fighting the Alien of itself.
The side of 'Light' and the hidden Self, the side of 'Darkness'.
But if there is a battle of opposites,
and there is,
one side certainly plans to take over the 'other' side,
for is this not our Nature?
Because that is the action of The process of Division.
Therefore, this is the action of Creation.
We do not see that Creation is a Process of Division, because we are a part,
we are a piece of that Creation.
We, the Collective Consciousness has Chosen this Existence that in the reality
of Reality does not Exist at all.
We are Existing in a system of Division.
Division that separates to establish 'strong' from 'weak' and 'rich' from 'poor'----
While one side plans and plots, the 'other' side is unaware or too frightened
to defend itself.
One side, the Alien side, the hidden side, knows all about the side that Dreams
because it has become its business to know all about the 'other' side,
to know its strengths and weakness,
its habits, routines, worries, priorities.

What can be done with the Alien Self?
Can we Obliterate it?
We know the answer to this question too.
We can and we do Obliterate the Reptilian Self, the Ape Self.
After all, we are Creators.
We Obliterate the Alien Self by recreating through the Process of Division,
Other.
