I am in truth the Steppenwolf - An Alien in a Strange Land
“I am in truth the Steppenwolf that I often call myself;
that beast astray that finds neither home nor joy nor nourishment
in a world that is strange and incomprehensible to him.”
― Hermann Hesse, Steppenwolf
“There is no reality except the one contained within us.
That is why so many people live such an unreal life.
They take the images outside of them for reality and
never allow the world within to assert itself.”
― Hermann Hesse, Steppenwolf
Yes, I am the Steppenwolf, an alien, a stranger in a strange land - My physical body may be Human - But my mind is from elsewhere.
We are from a species of beings existing in a parallel universe.
We existed eons befoe Man - We are many eons older than you Human.
I am an historian - sent here to write the epitaph for your species - We have written many epitaphs for many species -
We have written many epitaphs for species whose evolution comes to a dead end - and they became extinct.
But life, and the experiment that it is, goes on - Other species will come to be and your meaningless history will be just another footnote in the history of the vast universe.
So you ask Human, why am I telling you this? - Why should an alien so far advanced beyond you be concerned with an ill conceived being not able to master its own environment, its own kind, its own future?
Why? - Why you ask should they care? - 'Thery don't' - But because they placed me here in a humanoid body - And even though they never allowed me to interact seriously with any of you - I am as a watcher - An historical observer of alien species.
And there was something I saw - not particularly significant at first glance - But becoming more significant upon deeper observation.
Your species Human, your primitive and often barbaric species, possess an inherently creative nature - you are capable of creativity, the one ultimate trait that can redeem your kind - Only your art Human is worth anything of note.
I will re-submit to he inner council a petition for your kind - We do have tha power to stop you civilizations insanity - usually we don't
- the theory being that if a species can not evolve itself it is not worth changing.
So tell me Human - would you like this? - would you like to meet beings whose science and intelligence is so far advanced above yours so as to make your sience seem no greater than the science of the stone age? Would you like to see what the multiverse really looks like? Like to travel with us Human - through Stargates beyond your wildest imagination? - To see a future your greatest scientists are yet to imagine?
Ready to discard your primitive dark history and see the LIghts of Tomorrow
Tell us Human - For now we will listen - tell us Human
