The more a civilization moves away from spirituality, the more vio- lent it becomes. Here, I mean genuine spirituality rather than religiosity. What now passes for "religion," for the most part, is a man-made contrivance - a corruption of it's original intent.
If a civilization separates from its intrinsic spirituality while at the same time developing enormous means of intellect and technology, conflict is inevitable. Earth, is now trying to sort out that dynamic. And we haven't done a terribly good job of it so far.
It is fair to say that ETs would be aware of the risks and the pitfalls of this tumultuous transition we're in today - which I liken to humanity as an organism going from childhood to maturity - and we're in this pro- longed adolescent phase. We are chaotic and rebellious and trying to find our footing, but we are not yet mature. And unfortunately, some of us are like adolescent boys who've gotten hold of some hand grenades and are pulling the pins out.
That being the case, if you look at humanity and the state of the world today dispassionately, and look through the eyes of an extraterrestrial civilization, you know that there is cause for concern. For this rea- son, actions taken by ETs that have contained some of our efforts and clipped our wings as we've tried to weaponize space, are understandable (We know this has happened from testimony by numerous corroborative Disclosure Project witnesses).
Those actions could be considered an act of hostility... However I view it instead as an enlightened act of compassion. They know that we could be a threat not only to ourselves but also to other worlds. Alas, our technology has marched ahead of our spiritual and social evolution, mak- ing us, frankly, a dangerous people.
The time we live in is very pregnant, but growing short. We haven't really changed directions enough to avoid some very serious conse- quences that are a natural outgrowth of our retrograde behavior. If you combine extraordinary technologies with a predisposition to vilify any- thing we don't understand or control, a very dangerous situation results.
So, these extraterrestrial civilizations are monitoring Earth very closely. I have no doubt that this is why many of our military witnesses have recounted these extraterrestrial vehicles monitoring intercontinental ballistic missile silos, weapons storage facilities, weapon plants, space launches and ICBM launches. They want to be very clear that these weapons must not be used and that they're watching our behavior. If we were to get completely out of control, there would be an intervention to stop a worst-case scenario from unfolding.
We're reaching the point where the Earth will have to end the bur- den we've placed on her, if we don't lift the burden ourselves. We have another couple of generations to get it right; I would be surprised if we could go 50 more years on the path we're on right now.
I was approached by a number of the people who run the super- secret projects related to UFOs and advanced energy systems in 1991. They had read one of my early papers about the concept of oneness and our civilization and the experience of cosmic awareness and cosmic people. They emphasized the importance of sharing this information with their group. These were people who called me from the CIA, Lockheed, McDonnell Douglas, and similar operations. Everything I've written was primarily intended for this group.
The masses of people simply want to live their lives peacefully. They don't care about ripping each others throats out. There is only a very small minority of humans who are psychotically violent and controlling. The fires of hatred and conflict, that keep getting ignited, have been lit deliberately because it's benefiting this violent group.
People within the general population have a strong need to know about this information. They have a need to know, a right to know and a responsibility to act, because they can restrain the worst abuses of a covert group like this if they exert their will. But the entrenchment and the ferocity of some elements within this dangerous group are such that a spiritual perspective needs to be elucidated.
This is why, when I sit down and write something, until now, it has been written with the primary audience being those people who most need to hear it. Most people on Earth would love to simply live together peacefully, enjoy their diversity in cultures, have these technologies, and evolve and go on and raise their children and send them to college and have a nice life.
It's not like there's 99 percent of the world's population who's in favor of going hell bent over Niagara Falls without a barrel. There are a relatively small number of people who have a perspective that is retro- grade. They are looking in their rear view mirror and mistaking it for the future. So our task has been to turn their heads and look forward.
It is important that we view these very powerful industrial, military and religious interests as educable.
We have frittered away the last 50 years while the Earth was speaking to us, the people of the Earth were cautioning us, the mountains were weeping, the polar ice caps were melting and the ETs have been warning us. And we've been heedless for 50 years. We need to listen and we need to act - now.
The people running these covert projects are conscious beings who are educable and can learn and can grow and can get this information and change their paradigm before it's too late. In our own meditation and prayers we should ask for transformation and enlightenment for these people, rather than creating enmity and tension.
CHAPTER 4
Q^D
Marriage Made in
Heaven
I went to live in Israel in January of 1978, initially just to visit for about ten days. I ended up staying for three years, working at the world headquarters of the Baha'i religion on Mount Carmel in Haifa. It was a wonderful and interesting experience being at some very sacred places. In all my travels throughout that area, I could feel the presence of the spiritual teachers that have come to this small area. And at the same time, I sensed that every rock is soaked in the blood of conflict.
It is a very strange juxtaposition of extremes ~ the manifestation of these very exalted prophets such as Christ or Moses or Abraham or Mohammed or Baha'u'l- lah or the Bab. At the same time there's this incredibly primitive enmity and fanaticism. But then, the prophets always come at the darkest time and to the darkest place.
For many years I've been able to go to sleep at night and see some- thing that will happen the next day or the next month or at some point in the future. This started happening more and more intensely the more I experienced these higher states of consciousness. In the winter of 1978, I was living in an apartment on Mount Carmel, overlooking the Mediterranean. One night, I had a dream: I was suddenly in a space that was defined but didn't have walls, and it was very light. Near where I was living were the remains of a nobleman who had been head of the Baha'i Faith named Abdu'l-Baha. He was known as a very gentle, wise, sweet, loving figure who was greatly enlightened - in the perfect state of man. He appeared to me in this dream and introduced me to a woman and said, "This is who we wish for you to marry" He then told me many details about her and said, "She'll come from far away and visit here and then leave, but you'll be married here in Israel. She'll be older than you, but that won't be a problem." And then this woman and I were introduced, and I could see exactly who it was and how she was dressed.
This happened every night for four or five nights in a row. Now, here I am, 22 years old, and no more interested in being married than the man in the moon! But one thing about spiritual guidance: it doesn't do you any good if you don't take it.
So, I said, "Well, I guess I should be looking to find this person."
