Our hybrid program is to create a new form of human which has greater mental capacity, including capacity for telepathic communication. The human form is being phased out because it is not appropriate for 4th Density Service-to-Others, which requires a mental capacity greater than that you currently enjoy. Those who will be continuing to incarnate on Earth are desirous of this new form. They are being polled continuously, and voting willingly. As the genetic engineers, we are responsible for ensuring that the specifications for a 4th Density incarnation experience in the Service-to-Other orientation are met. We would not, for instance, bring forward violent tendencies, where blinding rage can overtake one on a moments notice, even if the humans voting were to indicate a desire for this. Likewise, a higher intellect is a specification, and even if humans voting were to indicate otherwise, this human vote would be negated by the overriding specification.
ZetaTalk: First Time
Note: written by Jul 15, 1995
We are not the oldest visitors, as you sometimes like to call us, though we have been coming to Earth for millennia. Our genetic engineering mission is not the first such mission on Earth. There have been dozens of such missions, each of which has taken place over many stages, with some of these stages having millennia between them. We were chosen for the current genetic engineering mission for three reasons.
Our genetic background is similar in origin to yours.
Where we aggressively pruned our genetic structure to remove aggression, emotion, and sexual drives - which we considered to be the instigators in the manner in which we destroyed our world - our genetic structure in regard to the capacity for intelligent thought and telepathic communication is considered to be in an excellent state for 4th Density existence.
We have motive, as being those-who-mourn, regarding our past treatment of our own planet.
The point where the human race was first genetically engineered into its current form is much discussed. Neanderthal Man was at one of the later stages of evolution. Why did it then take so long, and why is there so little evidence of the earlier steps and stages? Genetic engineering takes a long time, because a creature that can live on the world they are being designed for, and live well, must be the results. In the case of human evolution, the goal was not only an intelligent species, but one which also had the degree of blind rage and aggressiveness to be able to live with large, land-based carnivors. Neanderthal Man had a digestive problem and had to be totally re-engineered, with his concurrence, into a later form of man. The reason there is a missing link is because these links are on the Moon, where the genetic engineers frequently resided.
The start of genetic engineering goes back many multiples of the step back to Neanderthal Man. Tiny apes were changed to make them larger, to make various parts of the brain expand, to make them dextrous, more adventurous, etc. These were stages and steps, in each case. At each stage, the specimen was placed back on the Earth to see how it fared, whether the experiment worked or was tinkering required. In most cases, tinkering was required. Should every change to tried at once, there would be a muddle and a mess. The specimen would fail, and die. So changes are done in stages.
ZetaTalk: Non-Zetan Hybrids
Note: written Oct 15, 1996
The reality is such in human society that any couple or in fact any single person who wishes can have an offspring. Human society attempts to control this by laying down rules about who can marry whom or dictate the number of children a couple should bear, but in reality the sex urge drives the process, followed closely by the urge to become parents. Individuals who break the rules run the risk of ostracism or physical punishment, but even forbidden racial mixing occurs, surreptitiously. This is not the case during genetic engineering, which only proceeds after a long evaluation period and is a deliberate intellectual decision and right granted by the Council of Worlds. In many cases a genetic engineering project involving the merging of two species is followed closely or even overlapped by additional genetic engineering to bring in selective DNA from a third or fourth species, but in most cases it is simply upgrading one intelligent species with DNA from another with desirable traits.
For the Earth at this time, the Zetas were selected to be the species, as we have explained. Our selection was not simply due to our genetic compatibility, our having an iron based hemoglobin for instance, but was due to our emotional control. Humans are almost ruled by emotion at times, not only by blind rage which can cause them to slaughter their loved ones in a fit of jealousy or frustration, but by fear. Fear can cripple humans, taking control of the mental processes with a flood of images on what might occur, so that a palpitating heart or weak knees and mental ruminating on what might happen engross the human. As we have explained, fight or flight emotions were necessary for survival on Earth, due to the number of large carnivores here, but during 4th Density such defensive emotions are not needed for survival.
No other alien species are participating in the development of a hybrid species, not by contribution of genetic material or as genetic engineers, as the traits desired - high IQ and greater emotional control - are traits we have in abundance.
ZetaTalk: Physiology Differences
Note: written Oct 15, 1995
The Zeta physiology differs from the human physiology in several respects, and this has created challenges and choices.
It has been noted that where we have nostrils, and our breath, acrid by human standards, can be felt when in close quarters, we don't appear to be breathing. The expansion of human lungs is visible, yet our trunks seem firm and immobile. Do we have lungs? We do indeed, but they work asynchronously, rather than in unison, one expanding while the other exhales, so the motion is all internal. How did this come about, that springing from the same base we developed different breathing patterns? The answer lies in our long lean frame, which in the trunk has a fused rib system with cartilage between the ribs for extra strength. During our genetic engineering periods those Zetas who adapted to a longer more rigid frame by an adjusted breathing cycle survived to pass along their genetics. In fact, our current frame only became possible because asynchronous breathing became possible. The genetic engineers went with the flow, so to speak. Our hybrids, however, have unison breathing, but in a pinch could switch over to asynchronous breathing - a latent capacity.
Where our current digestive system is rudimentary, having been eliminated in preference to a cleaner, quicker form of nourishment intake via our nutrient baths, the genetics controlling digestion are a factor to be considered when merging genetics in the hybrids. What did our digestive systems used to be, and how did these differ? The human diet is voluminous and fibrous, reflecting the diet of the base apes that formed the human race, and in truth reflecting the reality of vegetation on your planet and the adaptation that animals evolving on your planet were forced to deal with. If an animal is vegetarian, and most are, they eat continuously, defecate frequently, and deal with digestive gasses. Few animals become successful predators, an obvious fact as if all were predators there would soon be nothing to prey upon. So humans have as their base an animal that eats masses of fibrous vegetation, daily.
