Kimball on ET Culture
Over at The Other Side of Truth, Paul Kimball (who is supposed to be on hiatus but who apparently isn’t!) asks an interesting question:
“…if there are aliens out there, and they are visiting us here, why haven’t they shown us evidence of their cultural achievements, such as music, or art, or literature? In short, where is the alien Mozart, or Bach, or Shakespeare, or Monet?”
Paul continues:
“Leaving aside for the moment the possibility that perhaps aliens have done exactly that, but in ways that we perhaps cannot comprehend or do not recognize as “art” or ‘literature’ or even ‘music’ (I wonder how many people in ancient Rome would consider the Sex Pistols to be ‘music’, at least as they understood it), one should entertain two other possibilities - one rooted in the way we behaved when dealing with less technologically advanced cultures, and one that is rooted in the question of who, or what, might be coming here.”
And here’s the rest of Paul’s highly thought-provoking piece.

Nick: I’m at the cafe where artist, former Professor John Beauchamp, aged 83, hangs out. We like to attack Western culture — that sort of left-brain fanatical closed-world reality that Beauchamp says controls even the art world.
So as for “culture” and “genius” etc. — I’ll just submit that Western culture is so oppressive that “aliens” are just a psychological projection of the repressed, energy. So what of the “culture” of the thousands which the West has destroyed in the last 500 years? Here’s my culture — and it’s quite alien so, just as an example:
Basically I sit in full-lotus all day — as the pressure builds up — my vagus nerve shoots energy into females — through my pineal gland. It’s a kind of love-light. You have to be very careful with diet since this practice purifies the body. I just use some elixir instead. Today it’s peppermint spirits — so I’m staying out of Muslim shops as it’s the holy day today and alcohol is taboo. The past few days before it was garlic but some people really freak out about strong garlic smell! haha.
I would say there is instant magnetic attraction with females after eye contact — which then produces a smile from them and also usually some sort of display behavior so that the sexual tension can be resolved. Most males can’t resolve this sexual tension but the full-lotus enables the energy to stay internal.
As for the small universe — it’s a practice that will take you to the highest levels, if done properly, and is detailed in the book “Taoist Yoga: Alchemy and Immortality” trans. by Charles Luk.
So this is fun love-light healing energy! Enjoy!!

Nonsense! For what have the aliens shown us with the abduction phenomenon, if not their own twisted version of “Tocatta & Fuga” (”Fumble…& Flee!”)??
This reminds me of an interview made to Dan Aykroyd where he was asked about the reasons why aliens might be coming to Earth, and he responded that the aliens didn’t have someone like Mozart, or Elvis; in other words he believes they come here out of admiration… or jealousy.
It’s also interesting to note that, of all the accounts of abductions that I’m aware of, there has never been a single description of an artistic object inside the aliens’ ships; everything has a pragmatic function eventhough it may contain a pleasant-looking design form— very reminiscent of 60’s modernistic movements— so I suppose that at least tells us smething about the way these abductees—and our popular culture at present— perceive the aliens: devoid of emotions and therefore incapable of artistic enjoyment.
Like that X Files episode—one of the best in fact— “The Unnatural”, where the alien-turned-black man explains that their people have very little mouths because they are incapable of laughter; and that’s why he enjoyed playing baseball, because it was something without a real purpose, like a flower

Yes, we all remember the photos of the Pieta tucked in the capsule with Grissom and Young in Earth orbit on Gemini III.
And who can forget Henry Morton Stanley’s carrying the dome of the Wren-designed St. Paul’s Cathedral with him into Africa on his hunt for Livingstone? Epic. As were Johann Sebastian Bach’s explorations of far Amazonia, using his children as porters It took five of them to carry his organ alone…
And personally I can hardly bear to jet away for a weekend without tucking Vermeer’s Girl with a Pearl Earring into my backpack.

Sarcasm senses tingling…
It is an interesting read, but in the
abscence of anything we can recognize
as contact, we don’t have a whole lot
in the way of parameters.
Ackroyd’s surmise is as good as anything, I guess.
