ST,

How can humans establish a dialog with an ET? Can our bodies withstand being around the energy of an ET? Can our thought processes comprehend ET communication?
How do you think -- in words? images? sensations? something else? is there a verbal language? ...humans think mostly in words and pictures -- I think we cannot understand the thought processes of animals because they do not think in terms of human language. And if we cannot understand the thoughts and needs of species we live with on the planet, it is hard to imagine how we will be able to communicate w/ ETs.
