Since i got this game as a kid i wondered what the 'above/below' refrence is , i do no think they are in refrence to a place but a time. i think the Orz are what the Arilou were, the Arilou from a previous time since its pretty obvious they do not live in our 'time' so this could be quite possible.

Now THAT's an intriguing thought...suppose the Orz interacted with the humans in what would have been our stone age, and taking on human characteristics due to some symbiotic relationship with us, and eventually becoming the Arilou.
Of course, that poses the question of why exactly the Arilou tell you not to trust the Orz...

Just some observations:
If we in 3 dim. view the "unfolding" of 4 dim, like a series of projections, or 'time', then any n-level being should see time as the "unfolding" of n+1 dim., with similar uncertainties. (I guess.) If appears that to us, in 3 are unable to separate duality(n-1) from our thought, or communication. So I think, maybe Orz can only reduce it's thought or comm. to (n-1) too.
I think this corelates with some of the further above.
For those who read flatland, seeing a dim. below is not, in fact, like seeing it's 'future/past/present' but more like seeing it's inside and outside at the same time. If each lower dim. is projected from the one 'outside' of it, then time is an illusion from which no being escapes. The translator is 'translating consciousness. ' from our point of view(as someone mentioned).
I think many of the theories above are fascinating and I apologize if I repeated someone's ideas.

No, they wouldn't lie, but I'll bet you that they WOULD come down to earth, do something amazing in the presence of humans who could never understand it, then fly back up into space and watch our reaction like we were little kids. ("Oh, look! They think we're gods! How adorable!")

I assume because they were a bit less carefull with how they treated other life forms earlier in theyre evolution.. hense the poor cloneboys.

True. But the Arilou think so highly of themselves, you'd think they'd be a little less harsh with the Orz if the Orz were...er...also...themselves.

Here's a question I've beeen wondering about on the Arilou-Orz theme.. The Arilou mention that they wont help you, because in the last war so many of them were forcibly "discorporated" or some such. The Orz tell us they're just "fingers" and not like us.
So, given that you can blow both kinds up, what kind of bodies do they leave? I mean, I assume the Arilou actually have regualr bodies, due to the fact that they seem individual and "real" so to speak. Btu what happens to a "finger" when it dies? Does it dissolve and fade away? Or does it leave a body behind to be examined? and ifso, what could be leanred from this? If the body is real and physical, it must have some sort of contact with the Orz home, otherwise, it wouldn't be able to move it's fingers. When the body dies, is the contact svered? Or what?
