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)
