IS THE WORLD ABOUT TO CHANGE IN A FUNDAMENTAL WAY?
“Could extraterrestrials help us save the Earth?”
“We’d have to be dead above the neck if we weren’t interested in this.”
This New York Magazine piece comes on the heels of a The New York Times article that let us know about government interest in UFOs. More and more stories that came from the fringe are all of a sudden popping up in mainstream media.
It’s popularly understood that if microbial life is discovered on Mars it would change everything. If even finding single-cell life off-planet would be a game-changer, it’s mind-boggling to think how radically changeful the discovery of other intelligent life would be. In fact, if we found other intelligent life it would be the biggest news ever to hit humanity.
It wouldn’t have to be extraterrestrial. It could be coming from another dimension. Or, from something we don’t understand about the past and future existing simultaneously in this phantasmagorical universe where so much is beyond our ken.
Copernicus and Galileo showed us that Earth revolves around the sun. Earth not being at the center of the universe changed our psyches. Over time, top-down management by kings gave way to democracy, where we leveled out the radical extremes in society to match the leveling in the heavens. Another fundamental change in our juxtaposition to the universe would make us rethink everything now.
In light of how bogged down we are with conflict and inequality, it would behoove us to investigate anything that might help us rethink reality. If we discovered other intelligent life, we would be one humanity in relation to “the other.” There would be no sides. All of us would be in it together. And, it wouldn’t just show up in the current news cycle; it would be news forever. Where it’s fingers in the dike to solve what challenges us now, getting a sense of ourselves as one humanity would put us in the best position to deal with everything.

With crop circles being a parallel to UFOs, where the commonality is the indication of another intelligence engaging with us, maybe this UFO interest will give a boost to my documentary, What on Earth?, about crop formations from all over the world, that I poured my heart into! It got a good review in The New York Times and streams free if you you have Amazon Prime. And here’s me, talking about crop circles and my movie on Rosie O’Donnell’s TV show on Oprah Winfrey’s OWN network.
Let’s hear from you on these interesting developments. Do you think that acceptance of other intelligence would be as changeful as I think it would be?
Often, real change is the result of of big sudden change, like war, plague, volcano, so an Alien visitation would be maybe most excellent! More than ever, our world of economy, population, technology has moved ahead of our own inner human development. Our perceptions and attitudes are slow to change and maybe too late for our probable nuclear and natural disasters! But can our human mindset manage extraterrestrials?
Who knows? God bless the recently departed Stephen Hawkins who warned us that they might not be friendly — thank you for sharing but not a productive caution if you ask me. It’s equally possible that they’ve just been waiting for us to be receptive to shower us with their smarts. In fact, that makes more sense to me, since if they are able to visit us they easily could have destroyed us before this if that’s what they have in mind.
Fascinating times indeed with what has been revealed and potentially is on the cusp for much more! Also, our love for the mysterious is just as likely met with our resistance to the unknown. Since, as you so aptly put Suzanne, the configuration and relation of humanity would drastically change both inter and intrapersonally if there was a revealing of other types of life in the universe and/or co-existing with us. We would be more identified as a collective of humanity as soon as there was verifiable, a preponderance of, and replicating proof that we are not the only life in this universe … and equivalently interesting if not more so … we may also not be the only dimension that exists on this planet. If there were other dimensions co-existing amongst ours that superseded the 3rd-dimensional state it gives rise to the possibility that they are much more aware of our existence than us of theirs. I look forward to what more and how all will be revealed.
If they are here it’s beyond possibility into certainty they’re more advanced than we are. Hopefully, people would chill and get it that if they’d been hostile we would have been gonners already, so no need to resist at the fear level. At the “change the world” which means “change the power structure” level, ah yes, lots of resistance from that. It’s why alcohol is legal and psychedelics aren’t.
A friend is making a feature film about extraterrestrials and asked me for some advice about how to get out of the Hollywood mode. He’s using several real people playing themselves in a fiction film. I suggested he have the characters, authentic or not, be in dialogue about whether they should come now or not and how best they might present themselves and then convey that to the ETs already in contact with the lead character. Also suggested he go out and do street interviews of real people with the same questions and include that.
The point is we don’t have a dialogue among the populace that is worth a damn now, just believers and nonbelievers, and perhaps we could do better by way of preparing the population with a forum available to the public for such a conversation.
He is going to do that for the feature.
Now that some credible government figures have authenticated there’s government interest in what isn’t just dismissed as woo-woo, we have a platform for new dialogues like you suggested to your friend. Can’t wait to see what he does and I’ll support whatever happens to get the public thinking about possibilities.
In the summer of 1996, a friend of mine, mad scientist Fred Bell (who purportedly worked for NASA in the late 1980s), told me that there was a movie rolling out the following year that was going to blow the lid off the UFO cover-up. He said that there were items from “Project Blue Book” that were going to be leaked. The movie that came out the following year was “Close Encounters of the Third Kind.” It looks like that movie was based on a true-life encounter. Below is an article by the Smithsonian Channel:

As I have mentioned in other posts in this blog, I feel that until we reach a level of consciousness free of enslavement to greed and power we will not be able to really hear what is trying to be communicated to us (as we did in the movie, Arrival). This is why I have dedicated my work to the raising of consciousness, one awakening at a time. Sue, I am so happy to be, in some way, part of the team you are building worldwide.
You know how I value your work — how your one at a time approach provided such a profound connection for me to who I am that is the “Arrival.” Let’s get everyone in on this act!
I agree, Suzanne, it is the possibility of extinction that demands a new conversation, one where we rethink our relationships with people as well as with our world. Nisha’s comment about an ‘alien invasion’ of an advanced sophisticated consciousness isinteresting. This idea was beautifully played out in the movie “Arrival,” where in order to save the world from destruction twelve countries must work together to decode the message from an alien source.
The premise of language carrying a transformational transmission is not so far off. To the people of India, it is understood that simply listening to the Sanskrit language (through the use of mantra) accelerates the human consciousness. It is further understood that sound can affect the physical world. In Amy Adam’s contact with the aliens, time becomes fluid, and she can see the future — and where we are going if our world leaders do not start adopting a philosophy of cooperation and moving things forward.
In India, the concept that time is fluid is not that far-fetched. There have been accounts of the great Indian saint, Ramana Maharshi, showing up as a guide in people’s early lives, and when they meet him decades later they recognize him as “that person who came and helped me as a child.” Around great masters in India, such stories are not uncommon.
Blog sites like yours, Suzanne, are the vanguard heralding the new consciousness. Those who are “ahead of the curve” are developing a new listening and are ready to explore possibilities and new ways of thinking.
I loved Arrivalfor the idea about cooperating that the aliens were pushing us to do. Ronald Reagan famously talked about aliens possibly uniting us, and I thought his premise was right on about us being one humanity in relation to ‘the other,’ but that was about a threat from them rather than how we could use our heads to deal with them. I made movies about crop circles because if they come from elsewhere we’d be one peaceful humanity figuring out what to do to respond.
Reagan spoke longingly for the world unity that would happen if aliens invaded Earth when he said, “Perhaps we need some outside universal threat to make us recognize this common bond. I occasionally think how quickly our differences worldwide would vanish if we were facing an alien threat from outside this world.”
