Are ETs living among us?
On the hidden ET presence, secret plans, and disclosure
The world is a complex place. Occasionally, something that happens to us or around us defies easy explanation. As Shakespeare’s Hamlet put it three centuries ago, ‘There are more things in Heaven and Earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy.” Hamlet was referring to having seen the ghost of his father. Today, it’s ETs rather than ghosts that intrigue and, often, scare us.
I’ve read many books on ET encounters: Leslie Kean’s investigation of officially documented sightings of UFOs (now named UAP, unidentified anomalous phenomena); John Mack’s collation and analysis of abduction stories; Michael Harner’s accounts of his and others’ shamanic encounters with spirits; Terence McKenna’s psychedelic-fuelled encounters with clownish, chattering machine-like ETs; and even perplexing accounts of human children being raised by ETs on board ships.
The range of testimonies is far broader than Hamlet seeing a ghost who looks like his father. That simple event was perplexing enough: What had he seen? The ET phenomena is exponentially more so.
The ET phenomena is too multi-layered for any one person to resolve. Any enquiry has narrow its focus. Two researchers in particular have presented material related to ETs incarnating as human beings that I have found intriguingly suggestive.
Robert Monroe spent decades exploring out-of-body journeying. This culminated in him discovering that he had previously been a non-human identity who came across the Earth while travelling in a non-bodily state, was intrigued by what he saw, and decided to incarnate in human form.
Dolores Cannon used hypnosis to delve into her subject’s deep memories. A number of subjects remembered being non-human identities who had volunteered to incarnate in human bodies.
According to Cannon, they had done so because after World War 2, which ended with the ignition of two atomic bombs, ETs watching had become concerned about the future of the planet and had asked for volunteers from other solar systems to incarnate as human beings. Their intention was to save humanity from self-destruction, and to aid our species’ psychospiritual development.
The memories Cannon excavated during the final decades of last century, suggested that ETs incarnating here found the experience difficult, even dissociating. As a result, there have been three waves of volunteers, each of whom had difficulty coming to terms with life on our decidedly trying planet.
It’s fascinating stuff. But how much does it reflect reality? This is not a question I am able to answer. Accordingly, I asked my guides (human beings who have completed their incarnational cycles) for their thoughts.
Are non-human spiritual identities volunteering to incarnate on this planet to help humanity develop, but struggling to do so due to difficulties coping with the complexities of human existence?
The guides respond:
We are aware that this theory extends to there being three waves of volunteers, with the first wave having incarnated in the 1950s. Is any of this true?
Yes, extra-terrestrials are here, on this planet, living among you. Like you, they are spiritual identities. So like you they each incarnate into a human body. Why do they do so?
This planet offers opportunities for experience and learning. Spiritual identities who are domiciled on other worlds may use these opportunities to further their own growth. Many opportunities exist because life here is varied and complex. Spiritual identities come here to experience the opportunities on offer.
However, not just any identity can do so. The pre-requisite is compatibility of experience, cognitive abilities and skill sets. To be clear, we will repeat what we have previously said elsewhere.
The need for cognitive, experiential and skills compatibility
When you incarnate for a time anywhere, or associate with a physical species in whatever way, there needs to be a basic compatibility of experience. If, in experiential terms, you are a six year old and they are a fifty year old, then you are not going to learn much of value from them. They are too advanced for you. What is required is a compatible experiential base.
The same applies to other spiritual beings incarnating here. They need to be at a similar experiential level, not just to blend in, but in order to take part in what is on offer. If they are a master musician and everyone on this planet is still learning to play Chopsticks, they won’t learn much. So what they need is exactly what you need: a situation that is basically challenging, but that involves tasks that are neither too easily carried out nor are too difficult to complete. So basic compatibility of experience is essential.
What also needs to be taken into account is compatibility of cognitive capacities. For those whose home base is elsewhere, and so have consistently inhabited the bodies of a non-human species, their psychospiritual development has largely occurred within the bounds offered by that species’ cognitive faculties. So when they travel elsewhere to inhabit a different species’ body, such as a human body on this planet, the new body’s cognitive faculties need to match those they have long inhabited. If this isn’t the case they won’t be able to function in that body with any degree of facility.
Third, compatibility of skill sets is required. Skill sets are an extension of cognitive faculties. So a similarity of cognitive faculties means the skills on this planet will naturally match those they have previously developed. However, the human world offers cultural and social contexts that differ from their own. So while skill sets are similar, the social contexts in which they are applied are different. This provides the challenge and the reason they come here.
The implications of an ET presence
That non-human spiritual identities are here occupying human bodies means several things. First they are not really non-human. The two sets of identities have much more in common than not. They are sufficiently similar to be what is termed kissing cousins.
Second, that they have found their way here means that non-embodied explorers have scouted out the possibilities and made the match. As a result, this planet is on the migratory route of non-human individuals.
Which means, thirdly, they haven’t started coming here just recently. They have been doing so for millennia — just as individuals who identify as human have been been visiting other worlds for millennia.
However strange all this sounds — and we are aware it will sound exceedingly strange to those for whom these ideas are new — that is what is happening. Furthermore, visiting planets that are not a spiritual identity’s home base is an entirely normal activity for those who wish to test themselves, develop their current skill levels, and evolve.
Is there some master plan that involves the spiritual identities coming here from other places? In particular, are they are here to aid the advancement of the human species?
We will answer these questions on two levels, the collective and the personal.
We have noted elsewhere that human beings have a tendency to exaggerate. Sometimes the exaggeration involves overstating what is happening, to make a situation bigger or more dire than it is. At other times the tendency is to understate, to diminish the significance of what is happening.
The impact of overpopulation, and the current collective tendency to ignore it and its implications, offers an example of understatement.
An example of overstatement is offered by humanity’s apocalyptic stories. Some religions, and we make note of Indian religions in particular, have adopted a cyclic approach to human history. This view considers that history repeats in periodic cycles. Other religions, including Zoroastrianism, Judaism, Christianity and Islam, postulate an end of days scenario, in which a God-stoked apocalypse is supposed to eventually engulf the world. God will then appear to revive decomposed bodies, reward believers, punish unbelievers, and set all things right.
This is fantasy. We have commented elsewhere on the over-simplification of binary thinking. This is simplistic binary thinking notched up to the nth degree.
Today many people have shifted this type of religious expectation into a secular, technology-driven context. Those who add extra-terrestrials into their world view are waiting for what is termed disclosure. This is supposed to be a game-changing period when governments will disclose the presence of extra-terrestrials among you and present to all the agreements that past governments have made with them. This scenario, involving a revelatory expose, matches religious believers’ apocalyptic exaggerations.
Here we pause to respond to a thought that has just entered our scribe’s mind. It is the slogan from a popular sci-fi television series, “I believe.” That is an entirely appropriate thought in the context of what we have just discussed. Beliefs provide the basis of much speculation and exaggeration regarding what is going on. Unfortunately for those who take refuge in “I believe”, belief is of negligible use when you are attempting to delve into the nature of reality, whether on the level of your life or on the level of this planet as a whole.
Rather than “I believe”, we suggest a more appropriate slogan is, “I enquire.” Belief is passive, whereas enquiry is active. If you want revelatory insights, there is no point passively waiting for them to arrive. Knowledge never just arrives. You have to go digging for it.
The limitations on acquiring knowledge
Knowledge arrives on a need-to-know basis. There is no point getting knowledge you can’t do anything with. Especially when there is other knowledge, which would actually be of direct use to you.
To offer an example: A Paleolithic hunter-gatherer would have no use for plans on how to make a mobile phone. First they would need to learn about radio waves, electricity, complex metal smelting processes, batteries, signal repeater stations, and much else. They would also need a use for the mobile phone. Without anyone to call there is no point having one.
Similarly, you have no use for knowledge about things outside the sphere of your experience. And if you were given such knowledge, you would have no appreciation of the wider context into which that knowledge fits. Before humanity is ready to learn bigger picture stuff, it collectively needs to carry out the necessary preparation. That preparation begins at the individual level.
Your own spiritual self reveals deep knowledge to you when you seek it. But you need to be strong enough to handle what you uncover, because revelatory knowledge, whether about yourself or others, can be difficult to handle. Often it takes people years to prepare themselves inwardly before they are ready to receive deep insights into their own past. So knowledge is uncovered on a need-to-know basis by those who are ready to receive it.
The role of plans
Does this mean we are saying there is no plan involving the presence of non-human identities on this planet? No, we are not. As we said earlier, non-human identities are here because it is useful to each one personally as they experience, learn, grow and evolve. That is certainly what could be termed a plan, an all-encompassing developmental plan that involves multiple worlds, guides, individual travellers and human counterparts who aid them in their efforts.
Yet rather than there being just one plan involving all the identities currently associating with this planet, there are numerous plans.
We have previously offered an example of planning with respect to what is called the Axial Age. [Editorial note: “Axial Age” is a term German philosopher Jasper Johns gave to the period, beginning around 600 BCE, when new spiritual movements shifted from a focus on local nature and anthropological gods to a transcendent view of human spirituality. Zoroastrianism, Daoism, the Indian upanishadic meditation, Buddhism, Jainism, pre-Socratic Greek philosophy, and Jewish mysticism were all founded during the Axial Age.]
Much planning on many levels has been involved in that initiative, from the big picture to intricate details involving what happens to individuals during their lives. The planning began several thousand years ago and remains under way at present.
We have previously drawn attention to the expansion of the human brain. This required a genetic modification. As a plan it also extended over many Earth millennia and involved numerous individuals.
This discussion here is part of an expansive plan to share information, which again involves many thousands of individuals. This plan began some decades ago and will continue for hundreds, if not thousands, of years hence.
Each mystical tradition also has its own plans in place. So does each religion. And many mediums are working in accordance with their own plan, their life plan, as well as within another wider plan, or plans, that involve others.
As we said, there are numerous plans in play. And you only find out about them on a need-to-know basis. Not because great secrecy is involved, but because you have your own issues to deal with in this life, and it is much more productive for you to focus on them than to chase down chimeras, especially when they are exaggerations of something someone partly understood, didn’t understand at all, or made up to feel better about something they actually had no clue about.
The challenge in sharing
One of the difficulties in sharing this kind of information is that so much that people read and repeat is piecemeal. As a result, a little information is shared, but too much is left out for the piecemeal information to be satisfactory. In addition, the gaps in piecemeal information that is otherwise basically sound are often filled in with guesses, personal misapprehensions, fearful projections, and wilful embroiderings.
As a consequence — and now we are being quite up-front regarding what we are doing in offering these words via our scribe — one of our primary roles is to gather information that is floating around in various circles and normalise it. That is, our role is to show how certain things that are considered weird and out-there have an element of actuality to them. Our aim is to shave off the exaggerations and speculations and explain, in rational and pragmatic terms, how such things occur.
We hope our readers find what we are sharing both illuminating and useful. From our side of the communication link this is certainly proving a fascinating exchange!
