The Spiritual Alien

‘The Universe is not only stranger than you think, it’s stranger than you can think’ is underappreciated.

Stranger in a Stranger Land, Robert Heinlein might be a nice tone setter before the reader falls in the rabbit hole of the essay. If you haven’t read Heinlein, I highly recommend him. That particular book is not just science fiction. It exemplifies the universe is stranger than you think, couples it with Clark’s ‘any sufficiently advanced technology would look like magic.’ it has a spiritual sense that nearly got the book banned before it was published, but the author couldn’t unsee the vision. Can you see what they see, not just in their writing but in others?

People without vision can’t see that once an artist, a poet, a mystic, or a visionary, like Joan of Arc speaking to angels, occurs- humans will unwaveringly commit to that vision. Gene Roddenberry would not back down from his ideal Utopian vision. It wasn’t till Gene died that Star Trek went dead. One episode after he died had the Enterprise D blowing up five times, cutting to commercial only to come back to find, it’s all well, as if to say “just kidding.” Star Trek has gone dark since Gene’s passing, because others can’t hold that light.
