When I reached young adulthood and began to look around at the other humans around me, I immediately began bumping into evidence of how unlike me they were. Did I belong? Was I an alien from somewhere else? Yet my love of nature and of being a human body showed that I clearly belonged to the earth, to the body I inhabited; every instinct and feeling told me this planet was my home.
But most of the supposes human beings around me did not seem to treat it as home, did not behave as if earth was natural to them, nor the place where they belonged. They trashed the earth. They trashed their bodies. Eventually it dawned on me (as it has dawned on many indigenous homo sapiens like me), that it was not me but they who were the impostors.
We live among globs of aliens from some distant galaxy who have managed to colonize our human bodies here on precious earth. (You shouldn’t take this literally. Or maybe you should…)
I don’t know how the globs of aliens got here, or how they pulled off this impostorization of us, but I’ve learned over the years four key elements that help identify the aliens wandering among us in human bodies.
- Obsession with sweetness. And by sweetness, I mean both sugar and sugar substitutes. Don’t get me wrong. Genuine human beings have a sweet tooth too. But the aliens seem to be an exotic species from some extra-galactic world where sugar was their primary staple. These impostors load sugar into everything. And always way too much, whether it’s breakfast cereal, dessert, even chocolate. Even a can of vegetables has sugar in it! The human body can’t handle so much simple sugar. Those of us who are actually human have been bombarded at every corner by this alien sugar addiction, so much so that our teeth have suffered horribly, not to mention all the other health consequences. And humans don’t even like the sticky-sweet taste of all this sweetness. Even when health considerations have led to removal of sugar from foods, it gets replaced by artificial sweeteners. Why? Why? The only explanation is the alien impostor explanation. Nothing else fits.
- Clothing Culture. This is the one that really made it obvious that the impostor humans are utterly unlike me; and in addition, that their underlying nature is ill-suited to the human body. We are a naked species. We evolved to run around naked in the air, feeling the wind and rain on our skin. Yes, we had to invent clothes when we began to populate territory with cold weather; still in the spring and summer our clothes would come off and we would feel happy in our environment. Our naked bodies were fitted for life on this planet earth. But the impostors evidently come from an alien species with a different underlying nature. They have to wear clothing all the time. Must be dressed no matter what. Even if the temperature reaches 100 degrees , they wear clothes (and complain about the heat)! From the perspective of the human body, it is utterly insane. They will die from heat exhaustion rather than do the natural human thing and go around naked. I have often wondered why the alien impostors are this way. Do they have some visceral distaste for the human body, these homo sapiens bodies they have invaded? Perhaps related is the impostor alien aversion for human genitalia—something that would be utterly bizarre for actual human beings. Those of us who are inherently human remain perplexed.
- Weird external-focused religions. Religion is natural to human bodies. Our bodies are supremely fitted for earth habitats, and our inherent worship of these habitats draws us to them. Our bodies love to be outdoors, deliriously engaged with the meadow, the forest, rivers and streams. This is the human religion. It is forever focused on earth, on here and now, on these wonderful habitats that we fit and that fit us. But the alien impostors seem to lack this inborn reverence. They worship something far away, something beyond the sky. They dream of an afterlife as unlike earth as possible, a heaven where human bodies aren’t necessary and don’t even make sense (eating without defecating?—then why have stomach and intestines?). The aliens want to spend eternity in this utterly inhuman and earth-less place they call heaven. A pretty strong hint, I would say, that they are impostors from a distant galaxy.
- The desire to leave. It is obvious that the aliens who have taken over so many human bodies on earth, long more than anything to return to their distant home. Wherever it is. They are obsessed with escaping the confines of our planet, which has never been their planet (and they know it). They constantly fantasize about space travel, and I can’t even list all the tv shows and movies the impostors obsess over. Whether it’s religious fantasy or science fantasy, the one constant is their consummate desire to escape this earth and these bodies so fitted for it.
There are many other indicators that can be used to identify the alien impostors in human bodies, but these four seem to me pretty reliable.
