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)
