Thanks for reading and for the thoughtful comment Susan. I would like to clarify that I am not saying every single individual from every interstellar capable civilization is benevolent in their intentions, as there may be some exceptions to that general trend I described above that are also worth accounting for.
The reason I would like to point out that not every single being from elsewhere in the universe necessarily has benevolent intentions is that I have observed that much of humanity has an unhealthy proclivity to look for “savior” figures that they hope will swoop in and save the day and do the hard work for them cleaning up the mess they/we have made. Thus I do not think hoping for our cosmic neighbors to deal with the mess we have allowed to fester to the point it is at now is an advisable path if we want to break the cycles of the past and chart a new course as a civilization. Therefore I share the following.
Through my own research and personal experiences I have come to see that the most advanced and ancient of the interstellar species that are here now appear to be part of a collective of civilizations that work in concert toward their common goals (which among other things) include assisting younger species make the transition into safely moving beyond the confines of their planet and engaging with their neighbors. I have also learned that (though people like Dr. Steven Greer seem to avoid acknowledging this reality) there are less advanced interstellar civilizations which visit (and have visited) here as well (with the members of their species possessing varying degrees of integrity, compassion and social maturity) but these rogues make up a minority and though some of the individual members of these civilizations have engaged in somewhat nefarious activities, these are the actions of rogue criminals, and not representative of the intent nor nature of their respective species (nor the civilization/world they originated from) as a whole.
For instance, I have seen a substantial amount of archeological and other circumstantial evidence that seems to indicate that a limited number of some members of one technologically advanced extraterrestrial civilization in particular, did engage with primitive humans in our ancient past (for selfish reasons).
From the geological, archeological and written documentation evidence I have seen, those rogue individuals (from a specific extraterrestrial culture) likely ended up engaging in a massive war (between factions of their own ‘people’) that involved weapons of mass destruction. (I can provide more in depth info and evidence on this if you are interested).
In recent history there have been several instances where nuclear missiles have been disabled and shut down by luminous spherical or disc shaped craft that arrived at high speed, hovered, shot beams of light which disabled the nukes, and then left at high speed strait up into the upper atmosphere.
In our current times perhaps we are being watched over to prevent this kind of crazy behavior from happening again (regardless of what beings are the ones looking to ‘pull the trigger’ this time around)?
The ancient Vedic texts, Egyptian mythology and Sumarian tablets are not unique in their describing ‘gods’ that came from the sky (or rather, beings that came from the stars).
Some cultures have a very different story to tell about extraterrestrial visitors they interacted with.
Many indigenous peoples all over the world claim cosmic origins, and they give great honor and homage to these “Star Nations.” The Dogon tribe of Africa traces its origins back to the star Sirius. The Stones of Ica, discovered in a cave near Nazca, Peru, are said to be a library of a way of life of ancient peoples who cataloged their astrology, astronomy, geography, and agriculture 60 million years ago. The Lakota, Kiowa, Cheyenne and Hopi all have oral traditions related to their origination from the Star Cluster Pleiades. Stories of other worldly beings are also present in several African legends of creation, like the Zulu people, which means “sky” people. There are plenty of other examples and I can elaborate on that further as well if you are interested.
I point out those historical and cultural perspectives on our cosmic neighbors to highlight the fact that what we are really talking about are myriad different civilizations, each comprised of likely billions or more sentient beings, all capable of using their own free will. So while their general social development and societal fabric may be a lot more mature than human's there is also the potential for some beings from civilizations that are much more close to our level of development (and just barely capable of leaving their solar system) to attempt to interact with people with less than benevolent intentions. While I do not think such hypothetical beings pose any large scale threat to our human family (as they are the equivalent of rogue criminals on the run) I do suggest we should exercise discernment and use our intuition capacities to decide whether or not each being we interact with is deserving of our trust, on an individual basis.
It is my hope that we (as a human family) do not perpetuate the prevalent mentality of the dualistic/judgmental/reactive approach of either demonizing or fearing that which we do not understand, Or looking for savior figures by putting our cosmic neighbors on that same pedestal. So, while I do genuinely believe we have much to learn from our cosmic neighbors and the study of the universe around us, I also believe that the best course of action for ensuring the social and spiritual development of our species is to refrain from putting our energy into hoping some external force will help us but rather take active steps to deal with this mess to the best of our ability on our own, allowing our heart to guide us and moving forward lovingly, humbly, honestly and courageously.
I agree completely.
Long ago, I asked myself why alien creatures from outer space would necessarily be antagonistic. I came to the same conclusions you did here.
One excuse for the common assumption that they would be is because that's what we are, so we're projecting.
