Recently I been contemplating the issue of communication between alien entities and us human. As in a previous blog concerning communication, our language is a funny thing. The sounds that come out of our mouth, the symbols we use for comprehension, even our gestures are not universally understood. For example a smile in human society is a welcome expression, in the wild with animals it is a sign of aggression.
The way a person emphasizes or the inflection of a word can change its meaning, especially when one has to consider its context.... language in a normal sense if a very difficult thing to grasp. It is a skill that is acquired and needs to be sharpened by exposure and repetition. That is how we learn how to communicate, by exposure and repetition until a familiar understanding is built.
Those involved in the supernatural know there are a variety of tool used to communicate with beings who are not of this world (this includes religious people too!). Throughout the course of human history many cultures have come up with a series of methods to divine and communicate with beings; the deceased, angels, demons, and gods. These tools often take the form of tarot cards, runes, bibliomancy, crystal foci, chimes, automatic writing and drawing, and direct possession. This "medium" usually allows communication with otherworldly beings. So can one communicate with Aliens this way?
From what we can gather, they are an intelligent species that do collect and share data like we do. Through various encounters we have seen examples of writing, we observed language in various forms, and they do have an understanding of our culture. We assume that they have shared universal knowledge, like the grasp of mathematics, music, and concepts of medical and scientific understanding. So have they talked to us before? Some would argue yes, especially those that see a connection to alien influence with humanities rise to civilization and culture. Could these beings be the messengers of the gods of old? Were they confused with angels and demons? If they are these beings, then they already have established and laid basis for communication. So...why are they not talking...or is it because we are not listening.
Many of us who hold spiritual beliefs have been taught that exploration is a bad thing, that listening and communicating will damn our souls. Even in literature we are told this is taboo, as knowledge can drive a person insane. That the human mind cannot comprehend what is beyond our current scope of vision. We are constantly told that the whispers in the dark mean us harm...and we are lied to when those on high attempt to control us when they inform us that they are chosen and beings of light and goodness grace them with their whispers? We are taught to be afraid as their are devils to the left and angels to the right, but we fail to see the middle path. We cannot learn if we close our ears, our minds, and our hearts. We must be able to walk forward and withstand and adapt.
So going forward in our modern approach to things the concept of Spiritboxes come to pass. That there should be some technological way to communicate or at the very least listen to things that are unseen and unknown. Originally this was developed for paranormal investigations, allowing detection of electo-magntic fluctuations and hoping that a spirit can learn to communicate using various taps or beeps. The idea has progressed that they can communicate and form words as well, however I am unsure how a program was made...or even how a spirit would know how to operate.
