: Bill: i consider bob, the alien, someone who is endearing himself to me. maybe because he will one day implant himself as a virus in my body and take over humanity through me, but at least humanity might learn something about itself. that would be nice. i have a feeling bob might cause us all to become pals or something.
You may be on to me. I have always maintained that invasion was the plan, but I never stated the methodolgy that the invasion would follow. I don't think that I will use the virus scenario, but my goals are definitely along the lines making everyone pals, and trying to get the world to understand each others point of views.
: Bill: also the ability to see things as what they are but also to NOT SEE THEM and to see how they are related to everything else around them. to see that they don't proceed from themselves in other words.
ooh. good point. everything is interrelated, and the ability to understand those relations does give people a stronger grasp on perceiving not only their own reality, but everyone else's as well.
The above two points actually are closely related to my goals for the world. Everyone has their own place in the world, and their own reality. The ability to recognize and accept that everyone else has just as valid of a reality and philosophy as your own is the first step in understanding each other and working towards a peaceful world.
And while I may be getting ahead of myself, let me go on -- The second step is usually where people get hung up. For everyone to live together, they need to have a basic agreement on ethics and lifestyle. Herein lies the catch. How do people with differing philosophies come to agreement on ethics? Without agreements on ethics, compatible lifestyles are a pipe dream.
So how to we go about resolving these goals? First, just strive for the awareness of everyone own personal reality and how they all interrelate in our world. Once awareness is acheived, people can move on to working through conflicts with a better understanding of each other.
You can see that while I am on my way for invasion, it is a peaceful one.
OK, Moving on.....
: Bill: man, who the hell are you? do you like Cass Elliott? did i ever live with you? oh yeah, you are Bob, the Alien. sorry. i'm glad you like Sherman. He's a real doll.
Well, the question on Cass Elliott is at least answerable. Alas, I have no knowledge of this one. I'll have to do some research and get back to you. Do you have recommendations on good places to start?
With Love,
Bob
