'Encountering ETI' weaves together scientific knowledge and
spiritual faith in a cosmic context. It explores consequences of
Contact between terrestrial intelligent life (TI) and
extraterrestrial intelligent life (ETI). Humans will face cosmic
displacement if there are other complex, technologically advanced
intelligent beings in the universe; our economic structures and
religious beliefs might need substantial revision. On Earth or in
space, humans could encounter benevolent ETI (solicitous of our
striving for maturity as a species) or malevolent ETI (seeking our
land and goods to benefit themselves, claiming that their 'superior
civilization' gives them the right) - or meet both types of
species. Earth Encounters of the Third Kind described by witnesses
(including Native American elders) suggest that both may have
arrived already: some have been accused of shutting down US and
USSR ICBM missiles to promote peace; others of mutilating cattle or
abducting people, perhaps to acquire physiological data on biota
for scientific study or for other, unknown purposes. Scifi movies
such as Avatar and novels like The Martian Chronicles describe
humans as malevolent ETI aliens: we do to others what we fear
others will do to us. A shared and evolving spiritual materiality
could enable humanity to overcome cosmic displacement, and guide TI
and ETI in a common quest for meaning and wellbeing on cosmic
common ground.
