Robots, Goblins and Alien Amoeba: Fermis Paradox
Reprint of an article originally published in New Dawn Magazine #100, expanded and revised with original illustrations. Was the Earth colonized by extraterrestrial scientists?
Retinal Rulers
“The moment I close my eyes, there appear on the retina strange geometrical figures and designs, together with vague lights and even more sinister shapes beyond, as of great creatures past the conception of mankind – and the most frightening thing about them is that they are creatures of intelligence – immeasurably alien.” [1]
Lovecraft, [...]
We are a colony
“…this is not the product of an alien culture from a nearby star, here to explore our solar system. Instead it is an intelligence which dwells in a different type of reality and moves through hyperspace in such a way as to interreact with us almost as a side-effect. It is an intelligence that [...]
Hyperspatial Objects
“We are not primarily biological, with mind emerging as a kind of iridescence, a kind of epiphenomenon at the higher levels of organization of biology. We are hyperspatial objects of some sort that cast a shadow into matter. The shadow in matter is our physical organism.” [1]

Or is not – for in the same way that certain schools of Judaism refuse to assert that God exists [...]
The Infinite Aeons
Before the material world existed, the divine world was created, erupting from the ecstatic union of Sophia (the world soul) and Christ (Divine Mind).
The universe they made together exists outside of time as a realm of infinite possibility and endless exploration, fluid and ever-changing, a hyperspace of pure thought:
“Now Immortal Man revealed Aeons and powers [...]
The Fall of Sophia
“The power which overflowed from the Woman…fell from above [and] came down directly upon the waters, when they were motionless, and set them in motion, moving boldly as far as the abysses; and it took a body for itself from them. When it was bound and weighed down by the body of matter, it lay [...]
