Q059: Besides having more than an interest in UFOs, are there any other metaphysical entities that have caught your eye? And if so, why and what is your relationship to them?
A059: It has already been scientifically
proven that the influenza virus is, strictly speaking, a space virus that
was able to enter the earth's atmosphere through the weak points in the
ozone layer near the North Pole. I am pretty contemptuous of those scientists
who try to prove the existance of life by the presence of the elements which
are essential to it on earth (oxygen and carbon). There may be organisms
that can exist in the absence of oxygen, and there may be also be organisms
that do notreflect light (and are therefore invisible).
Trying to apply the rules of life on earth to the rest of the universe is
no different to the medieval Catholic cosmology. For all we know, the influenza
virus may have arrived here centuries ago with the intention of conquering
the planet. I don't think that we need supporse that extraterrestrial beings
will always arrive here in somekind of spaceship. If the influenza virus
takescolonisation to mean the creation of influenza immunity in our bodies,
then it has already succeeded in colonising the earth.
