alien  (from  greek  "something  or  the 
 other") - an entity far  enough  removed 
 from  you  that  you  do  not  recognize 
            yourself in it...             
                                          
 (this  is not true  by the way  - you'll 
     always recognize yourself in it)     
                                          
                          
                                          
 an illusion or conspiracy  to remove you 
 from yourself...  on  the other hand,  i 
 very surely  am  the  outside  peeking 
                   in...                  
                                          
 a  novice   at  lizardry  maybe.  but  a 
            lizard nonetheless.           
                                          
                                    
                                          
 you  can  percieve yourself (the entity) 
 as a generalized  member of your speices 
             (if you have one)
