Alex...
We began an explanation on the Home site ( http://sites.google.com/site/notesfromanalien0/
) but, for those of you who wonder:
All the posts in this group are from me, Sena, unless Alex mentions
himself at the beginning of a post. As he likes to say, this is my
"show"...
I don't speak English, Alex does...
I communicate with him through what an Earth scientist might call
"Transducing": The process whereby a transducer accepts energy in one
form and gives back related energy in a different form. Ex: "the
transduction of sound waves into voltages by a microphone".
I our case, Alex is the "microphone" and my thoughts are the "sound
waves". One important difference is that as soon as Alex thinks
something I "hear" him... My existence (as far as Earthlings can know)
is really more like a two-way "radio" in Alex's mind...
As far as his picking up on and translating my inflection/style, he's
pretty good already and will improve over time....
I'll say more about this process if you ask
questions...................

I chose Alex because he "responded".
I put out a general "call" in a spherical "broadcast" and, besides
some strange feedback from the direction of Elzerud, Alex's mind was
the only one that had a "resonance" with mine...
Most earthlings, if they could actually know Alex's mind, would call
him "weird".........
Lisa
generalisation. Not even Alex can make that on behalf of "Most
Earthlings" he may be different, perhaps - but then to be different is
what makes us human. Normality is a shared trait or group of traits,
and, as we're all unique. That makes us all normal, as opposed to
'weird' for example.

My Dear Lisa,
I respect your opinion yet I must claim a bit more knowledge about
Alex than you may have...
Also, even though I don't directly communicate with other humans, I
can "read their minds", so to speak...
Please believe me, most earthlings, if they could "feel" Alex's mind,
would call him weird.
However, this isn't troubling to Alex or me; in fact, Alex rather
likes the idea and will quickly cite two common definitions of
"weird": Suggesting the operation of supernatural influences +
Strikingly odd or unusual.........
Lisa
anyone else for that matter can make a claim on behalf of "Most
Earthlings" unless any of us can read all minds on Earth, remember you
are talking about Billions of people here.
Lisa
read everyone's mind on Earth, if you could - you would have no need
for this discussion.
If you impose that on me, I will discontinue this discussion.
amzolt
I do hope you won't decide to sever communication with me...
What I'd said to your first statement about my knowing what most
earthlings would think was, "Also, even though I don't directly
communicate with other humans, I can 'read their minds', so to
speak...".
The "so to speak" part of that statement is difficult to relate to
anyone who doesn't have the abilities we from Angi have.
The fact that Anga and Anla have electrically-interactive orbits led
to a situation where the inhabitants developed a mental "symbiosis"--
not what earthlings call "reading minds", per se, but then, there are
no other words in your language that quickly indicate the
psychological effect--we "absorb" the inclinations of those on the
other planet (and due to the "learning" that took place, those on our
own planet, though the "flavor" of thoughts of those on one's own
planet are significantly different then those of another planet's
people).
It was decidedly disruptive until we became consciously aware of the
process and could work to direct it toward positive ends. It was
Sevrek, of the Third Age of Anla's __________ [ed: untranslatable],
who instituted the means for controlling the mental disruptiveness--
simple actually--being acutely aware of one's personally-generated
thoughts--needing an additional two seasons of schooling for the whole
population...
So, my being a person born on Angla, the world settled by the best of
the Remnant populations of Anga and Anla after the Inter-World War,
and the fact that my mother was Anga and my father Anla, gave me (and
some others of my generation) a marked ability to "feel" the thoughts
of many more Worlds than the nine of Angi. This is what led me to
sensing Alex's "uniqueness" and "contacting" him. Of course, to find
Alex, I had to "survey" the minds of all of Earth's inhabitants...
So, while not precisely what an earthling would call "reading the
minds" of the whole population the process is a deep feeling of
sensing the "flavor" of all those minds. Alex's mind has a distinctly
different "flavor" from all other earthlings...
There are other earthlings with distinct "flavors of mind" but not of
the "fragrance" necessary to form the bond I have with Alex...
I know I may have completely confused the conversation but that is the
best I can do for now. As Alex becomes more adept at interpreting my
thoughts, I'm sure a better explanation will arise...
Lisa
generalisation of "Most Earthlings would think Alex was weird." and
still do. I despise such generalisations, do please try to keep them
out of general thought here.
amzolt
crass generalization could trouble you.
If I attempt to explain how Alex differs from "most" humans in terms
of the "flavors of mind" theory, I would say that, from what I "taste"
of the majority of earthlings, if they were to "taste" Alex's mind, it
would leave an unpleasant "taste" in their minds...
What ends up here in this discussion is influenced by my thoughts
filtered through Alex's thoughts and Alex is the reason "weird" showed
up in my first explanation. Saying most humans would find Alex's mind
"not to their taste" may be more accurate...
By the way, a beginning of understanding for the way I'm able to
"communicate" with Alex can be approached with a reading of a file
place on the main site:
Lisa
of the majority of earthlings, if they were to "taste" Alex's mind,
it
would leave an unpleasant "taste" in their minds..."
That's just saying the same thing in a slightly different way, suppose
that we substitute 'flavour' for "Dark Chocolate"
You would then be saying that "To most earthlings, the taste of Dark
Chocolate is unpleasant." again, that is an over generalisation and I
don't want to be involved with someone or something that holds these
generalisations dear.
If you'd said, Alex's mind is certainly distinctive and unique - then
yes, I accept that. Everybody has unique thoughts and experiences.
We all look through a prism of our own experiences and knowledge,
there is no way that anyone can see the whole picture or make a
declaration about 'most of the picture'.
amzolt
You said, "there is no way that anyone can see the whole picture or
make a declaration about 'most of the picture'."
That may be true for you on earth but I've tried to let you know that
we of Angi are very much different...
While we cannot "read" the individual thoughts of all humanity, we can
and do "taste" all of humanity's thoughts.
I can understand that from an earthlings perspective this may sound
like an unreasonable claim yet it is true.........
Lisa
different views on the subject. You are aware of my feelings on those
matters, listen to and understand. We should do this without dictating
what is and what is not, as you / I see it.
amzolt
I do hope you can get used to the fact that we Angians differ from you
on earth--we're not better, just different. If I offer help for
earth's problems, it only comes from the fact that our physical and
social growth are around 1,000 years in advance of yours--this also
doesn't make us better and any Angian who feels this way is counselled
to greater wisdom by the others...
