Very interesting, FredKC. One of a number of reasons why I find that article you've linked interesting is that I believe I know that we all create our experience -- our universe -- far, far more than we consciously realize. That is also what the ancient Indian and Chinese schools of philosophy that were aligned with meditation taught.

You can even prove that that's true -- though my apologies if the following is a little abstract or philosophical for some readers. The sum total of "the universe" as I understand it, or ever could understand it, is contained within, or occurs through and by, my consciousness of the universe, and therefore within my consciousness. But: everything that's inside my consciousness is inside of me. Therefore, it follows that I am as big as the universe -- which is precisely what a person discovers experientially when they experience (the lowest level of) spiritual enlightenment (or "union with God", or "the kingdom of heaven"). In a way, I see that as the ultimate hologram.

As far as what you say about "the" Grays goes, it's my considered opinion that you've been misled by disinfo there. It would take a very long discussion, involving a little bit of further philosophy at an abstract level, among other things. So I won't go there now (humble apologies), other than to suggest that the individual sovereignty you suggest requires a very high level of support and trust from all the other sovereign individuals, or else it won't work. I guess somebody with a sick or paranoid imagination could call that level of teamwork a "hive mind", and then other people may believe such a person because they don't know any better, or because such a person claims to have knowledge based on encounters etc etc.

As far as I'm aware, most of the ETs that live permanently in the physical world are "Grays". Also, various robots, and also AI abominations created by humans, get to cop the "Gray" label.
