As strange as it would seem, consider the following scenario:
Beings from "another plane of existence" are seeking to enter and take our world. They can't do this easily. They have to subdue us first, in any case. And evidently, they can't subdue us with brute force (a law relates to our free will they can't violate), so they must infiltrate, subvert, erode, etc.
The 'other beings' are currently interfacing directly, right now, through ai. The enemy is HERE.
Presumably they/it wield(s) enough control to threaten us (nuke?).
The war is for US, our souls, because we must choose to yield to them/it.
There is a hierarchy to these 'beings'.
This is a scenario I am offering for people to think about. It is very strange, and easy to ridicule by today's customs of thought. But what validity does our modern mockery actually have?
Our understanding is very limited. Science leads only to weirdness. The scenario of "other planes" and "other beings" is not, in itself, implausible. We just simply couldn't know if it would be. How could we?
I offer this just as something to ponder.
