How come angels/masters/deities look human, as opposed to like grey aliens?

Are humans a special species??

[CFTraveler]

This post seemed so interesting to me that I felt I had to copy and answer it.

Most of it is my opinion, some of it is my observation.
1) Angels didn't always look human- in the Hebrew bible many angels looked like flying serpents, and others looked like hybrids of animals, such as the ones in the box that they carried around- the ark of the covenant. Some others are described (as in other books, such as Enoch) as 'wheels' and other non-human looking 'things'.
2) We have, in other religions, deities that look like animals (or are part animals- Ganesha in Hindu Mythology and most of the Egyptian pantheon are anthropomorphized animals, except possibly Isis and Osiris, the only human ones I can think of. (and Horus too? I think- it's been ages.)
3) I don't know if any ancient deities looked like grey aliens, but some ancient cave drawings have been compared to them. (I'm thinking maybe the Dogon tribes' drawings?) I personally think there is a lot of projection going on there (as in those folks see what they want to see in the drawings, but that takes me to the next point.

And now to my opinion:
I think that the reason is that most deities look human, is because at some point in religious history, the people that tell the story become convinced that humans (and in some cases, a particular people) are special or better, and then begin to project their own likeness to their preferred deity, hence you see anthropomorphic deities. So really, I think this point is a matter of opinion, but you see it in all the modern religions that we have nowadays, even the pagan or animistic ones.

¡Hi, D.O.!

Imagine, you, out of your body engaged in the work of to reveal (¿in order to deliver spiritual teaching?) to another intelligent entity, in order to get ascendancy ¿wouldn't reshape yourself to a form compatible (and familiar to) with configuration of that another entity?

Since out of body, we all are not but single points of conciousness, original shape of angels may be anything imaginable.

My best regards,
Ángel

They look human because that's how we interpret them. Remember that you don't "see" when out of body, it's just your mind creating a memory in a way that you can understand and interpret.

We aren't humans, we are more like orbs of consciousness or points of light currently inhabiting human bodies in order to grow and gather experience. For angels or masters to adopt the bodies of hairless apes like us would be, well, a little odd.

Yes. This.

(I know this is an old thread, but as it popped up again, I had a read through -- dunno how I missed it the first time -- and thought I'd chip in.)

What your saying is that there is only one person in.. all perceivable existence.

? Sorry, which "person" would that be?

[mystyx]

The one observing his/her creation.

Well, yes. At least, that's how it appears. It's usually described as "subjective reality". I think it's probably more complex than is usually described, in that all persons are pretty much just part of the whole, so the whole of Consciousness is really what's behind it all, but it definitely does feel and appear as if each distinctive personality experiences its own reality subjectively. I would go further to say that these realities (which may overlap or affect other realities in ways that I don't fully understand) are actually generated through or created by the entity/person experiencing them, like projecting light through a slide.

Apologies about this digression, but, angels like winged beings ¿are not but an automatic creation of ancient artists mind done the fact only a winged being can float in open air? ¿Or such wings are not but an auric field effect of evolved beings interpreted as wings by ancient artists?

Comes to memory an inquiry done to Robert Bruce about aspect of auric field of evolved beings:
