And In This Twilight, The Children Awoke

 It happened suddenly. Alfred Brown was cycling along the coast of California. He had stopped his bike and was gazing at a beautiful California sea for a while. Suddenly, a flying object that was clearly not on the earth appeared in the air about 100 meters above his head, and blue rays of light were emitted from it, enveloping Alfred. When he was sucked in, he found himself in a space filled with a pure white light that seemed to go on forever. Alfred was in a state of astonishment. After a while, he heard a voice in English. “Alfred, I know you are surprised, but there is nothing to worry about. No harm will come to you. And, as you probably guessed, we are extraterrestrial. We've brought you here to examine the brains of earthlings on the Earth. There's no particular reason why we chose you. It could have been anyone. The only thing that mattered was that you were a graduate student in linguistics." Alfred was shivering in fear, but when he finally regained his composure, he asked the extraterrestrial cryptically, "Why are you here?” When he finally regained his composure, he turned to the extraterrestrial and asked, "Why are you examining the brains of earthlings on the earth?"
 The voice said. “We have discovered that you, earthlings on the earth are experiencing a mass hallucination. We have discovered that you, earthlings on the earth are experiencing a collective hallucinations, which are sometimes seen in intelligent life in this galaxy.” "What exactly are these hallucinations?" Alfred said. “A natural languages you are using is hallucination. ─ Natural language you are using, I repeat, the phenomenon is sometimes seen in this universe. We have come to liberate you from this hallucination. For that purpose, we need to analyse the structure of your brain. We’re analysing your brain structure. There's nothing to worry about. We'll just scan your brain with our technology. “Natural languages is earthlings’ hallucination? And you came to the earth to liberate us? I have no idea what you're talking about.” The Voice said. "In time, you will come to understand.”
 Alfred Brown's abduction by extraterrestrial life was headline ones in the news media around the world. Alfred was asked by an Internet TV station in his hometown in California to appear on the program and talk about his experiences occurred yesterday. Fredrik Silberberg, an astrophysicist at Berkeley University, also appeared on the program.
 “Mr. Brown, what did you think of yesterday's incident?” James Dick, a popular TV anchor, asked a standard question. James Dick asked the routine question. "How was it ... getting sucked into the spaceship was so fast. The next thing I knew, I was on the board.” Alfred replied.
 “It was like an endless white space, wasn't it,' said Castor.
 “Yes.” Alfred replied.
 “And they... well, the extraterrestrial examined your brain structure? What did they find out?” “They didn't do anything. Everything was done. Thank you.” They said immediately.
“And they told you about natural languages, didn't they?”
“Yes.”
“Would you mind elaborating on that?”
“They said that natural languages we’re using is a human collective hallucination and that they came to liberate us from the hallucination, and that they came here to free ourselves from that hallucination, and that due to the collective hallucination, we are unable to see a true nature of the wolrd.”
“That's a tough one. By the way, Mr. Brown, you’re studying linguistics in graduate school, aren't you? How do you interpret the story from your knowledge of linguistics?”
“I'm not sure. I don't know, but I have heard that people who are not linguists, especially those who are studying physics and are interested in the phenomenon of natural languages, say that the subjective meaning of word is an intentional qualia, and that this is one of our current state-of-the-art findings on natural languages," Alfred responded, pondering a bit.
“What is qualia?" Castor Dick asked, "They are a vivid perception associated with our sensation. It's the biggest conundrum in mind-brain problem, according to Professor David Charmers at Arizona State University. And the qualia is generally located outside the physical world as we humans perceive it." Alfred's tone was as if he was saying something familiar.
“So it seems that natural language we’re using has its origin in a world outside of physical world in general.”
 “I think so. Then it seems to me that what the extraterrestrials are saying about the liberation from collective hallucination of natural languages is some kind of manipulation for the realm between us and the physical world that we have become accustomed to?” Castor asked, choosing his words carefully.“
 “It may be.” Alfred replied.
 “In any case, it seems to me that they have come to save us earthlings rather than attack us," Caster said.
 “An aggressive entities leads to self-destruction is a common sense one among researchers on extraterrestrial.” Professor Silberberg interacted.
 “In any case, it looks like we're in for a treat," Dick Caster concluded.
 Extraterrestrial life is going to appear on TV. It will be recorded in the U.S. and broadcast worldwide with subtitles. Due to a political reasons, it was broadcast simultaneously around the world. People were very curious about what extraterrestrial life would look like, but they were told that one would appear as an ordinary black man. “What we look like has nothing to do with our purpose or yours." extraterrestrial said.
 With the eyes of the world glued to TV screen, extraterrestrial began to speak.
 “Wittgenstein, one of the greatest intelligences of your last century, said it is the best in relation to our purpose: ‘What we cannot speak about we must pass over silence’. This is arguably one of the greatest wisdoms of your species. We are speaking in natural languages right now, but it is only to enable us to communicate to you. We have a plan. First, we will use our technology to modify the brains and genes of tens of thousands of Earth's brightest scientists and engineers. After that, engineers with the transformed brains will be able to produce the technology that works just like the one we’re using. Our ultimate goal is to transform the brains of every person living on your planet. We will carry out this to the level of genetic engineering. So the children you produce will have the same brain structure. As I have said repeatedly, natural languages is a product of your collective hallucination. And it is hallucination that makes it impossible for you to see the truth of the world. We are sailing through space with the goal of extinguishing the occasional hallucination in this galaxy. You don’t need to worry about what we do. We have dealt with about hundreds of such cases so far. We haven't made a single mistake. You can think of us as experienced scientists and engineers. We are Messengers of Truth.”
 A circular spacecraft, about two kilometres in diameter, landed on the west coast of North America. A total of about 50,000 scientists and engineers from all over the world were visiting the area. They were excited to experience the processes of transforming their brain structures. They were filled with anticipation of being able to ‘Seeing the truth of the world’. After all, They would have the ability to transform the "unspeakable" into the "speakable".
 Hundreds of people lined up around the spaceship. The preliminary information from "them" was that we would enter the spaceship, sit on one of thousands of couches that had been prepared for us, and be covered with a helmet-like device that would transform our brain structure.
 "Natural Languages is a hallucination!” Was beginning to be shouted around the world. It had become a kind of fashion.
 A week or so later, tens of thousands of scientists and engineers were born with transformed brain structures.
 They were amazed at the change in their perspective of the world. They had not lost the ability to speak, but they had learned that natural languages is a medium for communication, not a tool for perceiving the world. It was a feeling that could be described as if a religious experience. They felt a great enthusiasm to produce more brain structure converters for people all over the world. People all over the world would have the same changes in worldview as they did. ---- Then there would be a revolutionary change on the planet in every aspect. It was a historical event that opened the way to the truth.
 Because of his association with the birthplace of first contact, Professor Case Kerr of the Department of Electronic Engineering at the University of California, Berkeley appeared on internet TV to talk about how he would feel after the transformation of his brain structure.
 “I can feel things" he replied. “I can feel things that I couldn't feel before, things that you can't feel. And of course I can't describe it with natural languages.”
 “Professor Kerr, if you can't describe the sensations with natural languages, how will people communicate after the transformation of the brain structure of every person on our planet?” The interviewer asked.
 “It will be through the medium of the World of Truth to which the individual mind will access. It is through the medium of the Universe of The Truth, which the individual mind accesses, and recognises that each of us exists in complete solitude. But each of us is capable of sensing the truth of the world. It's the establishment of materialism in some limited sense. When you, and the audience listening to me here, will undergo a transformation of your brain structure, you will begin to understand what I’m talking about."
 Professor Kerr continued in a meditative tone.
 “The phenomenon may be related to something like Jung's collective unconscious, which has been treated as an occult among a scientific community. The individual, through access to the truth of the world, enters a state of mind that resembles empathy. That's what everyone is saying among the converted. We are absolutely alone. But we can empathise with all entities in the truth of the world. And we can communicate with them through that process. “They are truly the messengers to the truth of the world. There is no doubt in my mind that if everyone on the planet were transformed, our planet would be transformed into something completely different. It will."
 Half a century has passed since our first contact with extraterrestrial life in California. A new generation, born with the ability to sense the “Truth of the world" without using through natural languages, has come to make up 40 percents of the earth's population. They no longer learned the natural languages from their childhoods. They communicated with others through a medium of “the truth of the world" through which they had access. They, or their parents - the older generation who could still use the legacy of natural languages as a medium of communication - had to say “Goodbye” to their children.
 "They're not like us! They're not humans anymore!"
 Another a half century later, natural languages disappeared completely on the earth.
 It was the dawn of our evolution into super humans.
