Regarding what the future Service-to-Others Earth may appear to be, this will not be something strange. There are many groups on Earth already who operate in the Service-to-Others orientation. They share their resources, address the problems of each as though it were a problem for the many, sacrifice their own comfort for the better comfort of the many, and do not impede the growth or awakening to knowledge of each other. In the Earth of the future, these qualities will seem to increase in people, and groups will find less and less need for artificial controls on their behavior, and more and more allowance for trust among each other. There are no human societies, however, that exemplify the 4th Density spiritual Service-to-Others community. Human societies are, in the main, populated by the undecided. This colors the social structure, inevitably.
Where Communism ascribed to a system where each gave according to his ability, and all were supported, this of course did not occur. Corruption quickly gained the upper hand, black markets emerging, such that those ascribing to the original philosophy starved and were worked half to death.
Capitalism on its face fails, as while supporting the greedy, who without hesitation step on the least of those among them to raise themselves up, creates and enhances ignoring the suffering of the neighbor. Those who espouse capitalism, saying that Capitalist nations are most successful, fail to count the suffering of the little man. Success is not measured by the wealth and smugness of a few. Pollution, emotional deprivation, the dulling of the mind and heart of the man on the street - these are the byproducts of Capitalism.
Religions likewise, even if based on the philosophy that the weakest among them should be cared for, and all should give to the betterment of the group, fail. The Pope lives in splendor, gold and high ceilings everywhere, while those supporting this structure starve and are given edicts of sexual suppression that the pedophile priests hardly ascribe to.
Thus, even in the average family, the Service-to-Others 4th Density spiritual existence cannot proceed. Thus, other than read what we have described as our existence, we cannot point to a human culture, a human philosophy, as a case in point.
ZetaTalk: Language Barriers
Note: written on Feb 15, 1996
Where humans think of language as their premiere communication vehicle, right up there with symbols and pictures but able to support a precision beyond any other vehicle - most misunderstand the mental process in the physiology of the brain required to communicate in words or any other such abstraction. When the toddler says "dog" in reference to the big fuzzy hulk he has been nuzzled by, whom everyone else is calling "dog", he has made Connection One, entity. When the toddler says "Johnny go potty", connecting two such Connection Ones together with a Connection Two, activity, he has made Connection Three - relationship. This goes on in increasing complexity to hundreds of Connections.
These Connections are not the same between intelligent species from different worlds, nor are they even the same among factions of the intelligent species on a single world. Your Earth has many such languages, and for you to assume that all such languages portray the same concepts would be shallow thinking indeed. There are concepts the aboriginals in Australia hold that they cannot communicate to others, as there is no equivalent in other languages. This is one source of communication glitches, where western thinking says, just give me the equivalent word, and taking the closest candidate, makes a statement that carries a quite different meaning than was intended. Language barriers are not just due to a failure of one party to memorize the vocabulary of another. One would have to be raised, simultaneously, in the two cultures involved, to truly translate.
In ZetaTalk we are in a cooperative effort with our emissary, Nancy. We do not give her the equivalent word, in English, to our word. In the first place, we do not use words. We give her the concept, in all its many permutations - visuals, movements, emotions, timing, analogies. She puts the words to this, and plays back to us what the words relay to her, a playback. If her words have described to her an erroneous concept, we go at it again, fine tuning. Thus, if Nancy does not have a concept of chemistry, for instance, how crystals are constructed, then we must give her this concept in terms she can understand, in order for her to relay our message in this regard. Just as a radio announcer is limited by his vehicle, so we are limited by our vehicle, in ZetaTalk. However, except for those who wish to gain a technological advantage from ZetaTalk answers, this has not proved to be a communication hindrance.
ZetaTalk: Why They Care
Note: written by Jul 15, 1995
People are where it's at, here on Earth. Issues of the coming pole shift, of the ecology, of nuclear disarmament or how many years the Sun has until it burns itself out - all these are meaningless unless one considers mankind. Pole shifts and ecological disasters and nuclear disasters and dying suns occur often in this Universe, and no one notices because it affects no one. Why do we care, other than because we are living in your Solar System today and tomorrow, and because our hybrids are both your cousins and ours, and because your souls will be our future neighbors in the world we are both building? We care because we empathize with your situation, having been there ourselves, and have the rare opportunity, because of your call to us, to become directly involved with you - with the people of Earth.
We, the Zetas, cannot go back, as there have been adjustments to our physiology that would kill us if we returned. We are referring to what happens to physical bodies when their environment changes. You have some sense of this because of reports from your astronauts. After a brief space sojourn, they find their bones decalcified. Imagine what happens after decades away from the pull of a heavier gravity. Another point of comparison is what happens to deep sea divers when they return to the surface. If rising too quickly, after only a few hours at most, they get the bends and die horrible deaths. The body adapts, and must be given its allowance if the return trip is to be made. For us, the return trip is virtually impossible. It is much easier to lighten up than to strengthen. In many cases, to strengthen is impossible. As an example, some oldsters may wish to get into physical fitness, but find the changes they wish to impose on their bodies are no longer possible. Some journeys, undertaken, do not have a return route. For us, this was understood at the beginning.
We are all volunteers here on your Earth, as operating in the Service-to-Others mode we are not commanded. All work is voluntary. Do we miss our home planet? Of course we do, as you might imagine. Imagine yourselves, on another planet, in another galaxy, not ever seeing the flora and fauna familiar to you, not ever seeing the regular rising and setting of your beloved Sun and Moon, not hearing the chirping and singing of birds, the rustle of the leaves in the trees, or the taste of good wine and fresh fruit. Imagine living off rations, sleeping in cramped quarters with no view, with a task that will consume your entire lifetime. We are not only volunteers, we are extremely dedicated volunteers, as we all went in with our eyes open.
