I think that we are just as much ready to meet an extraterrestrial being, as we are ready to meet our maker face to face. Both unknown quantities and both imaginable. In reality, either one would be startling to say the least and further than our wildest concepts.
However, how do we know that we haven’t had contact yet? How do we know that aliens aren’t already among us? Do we think that extraterrestrials are more advanced than we are and have evolved into, tall skinny hermaphrodites with slanted eyes? Do they come to taunt us and take human samples, as Ginnie pigs for their gain?
Do we think that an advanced culture, capable of traveling trillions of light years across multiple galaxies, would make threatening actions toward us? Surely a race of beings advanced as that, would have evolved not only on a technological basis, but they would have evolved spiritually.
In order for another species to evolve technologically, there has to be some type of planetary unity. America, put a man on the moon back in the late sixties. They did it again and again and have continued to make several unmanned expeditions to other planets of interest. However, the adequate funding necessary is never available for such lavish experiments, even though many other expeditions have been at their finger tips.
Earth is not a united planet! There is as much wealth on one side of the globe as there is extreme poverty on the other. Wars are still raging in many parts of our world and hunger and tyranny prevails. There is more than enough resources to go around, if only we can see eye to eye and accept our wealth and our gain on a non-materialistic level, rather than letting our greed take us hostage!
Imagine our future for a moment…… A planet united spiritually, with wealth of knowledge and possessions shared equally. Imagine a planet without boundaries, fences and things that make others want from us. Now imagine a civilization that shares the same creator, with technology at it’s finger tips, that wants to spread their wealth of knowledge to other civilizations in their universe.
We are human and we like to help underdeveloped civilizations. Every day, we send relief to ailing populations around our globe. Consciousness is increasing and most of us are becoming more aware of the planet that lives and breathes beneath our feet.
If one day, we awoke to a world without pain and starvation and we could see another civilization far across the universe that is striving to do their right thing, wouldn’t we be interested in it? Wouldn’t we send our finest people, the representatives of our united and diverse civilization, to help?
But how could we help? We couldn’t just step right in and start shaking things up, that would be wrong, untactful and disrespectful. We cannot step into an undeveloped territory and give knowledge where it will not be understood, their peoples would not be ready for it. The occupants would have to learn to iron out their own differences initially.
Instead, we would observe and throw in a few subtle hints. At the same time, we would sit back and wait for signs: If that civilization nears self destruction, we might try and direct it differently and cautiously, and if, and when that civilization reaches a point where it is ready to accept itself as a whole, then we would join with them and share in who we are.
So, are WE ready yet?
