First Contact

This is yet another thought experiment.

We keep wondering about how things will change for the better given the current state of affairs we live in. The answer many of us give is that what we need is a change of paradigm. That the current way of doing things just does not work anymore.

But we have had changes of paradigm and not many of us throughout history, and as a species, have accepted them sometimes because they offer a means for more violence and disturbance.

The dropping of the atomic and hydrogen bombs on Japan in World War 2 was an example of a change in paradigm. The landing of man on the moon was a sure change of paradigm. The advent of the Internet and where much of our discourse takes place, is perhaps the most recent shift in paradigm. And many of us are expecting more in the years ahead. Hopefully they will be even more benign and advanced in nature.

But let’s just backtrack a little.

There have been other changes in paradigms that have knocked us off balance only for us to create a different form equilibrium. The rise of major religions throughout the world have caused paradigmatic shifts in our thought and way of life.

The existence of Christianity, for example, and the idea of forgiveness for trespasses against us was quite a shift in thinking from the ‘eye for an eye’ concept that still reigns supreme today.

Yet, most people still hope for and want another change in paradigm, but this time they say, for the better. Whatever that means.

Let’s take something that is not foreign to our psyche and recast it here as a possible scenario. Take a real jump in paradigm. Just because most of us have not seen other entities or been in contact with beings beyond this planet, we take any suggestions of such as outlandish, sci-fi nonsense, or shout ‘watch out they are gonna have us for breakfast!’

Right. But what if, say around the middle of October this year for a period of about three days or so a large craft manned by ascended beings (those superior to us as a species in that, for instance, they can travel intergalactic space) appears in a certain part of the world and is witnessed by the thousands…?

No, it’s not “here we go again :)”, it’s just think about it.

How will we react? What will cynics and skeptics say, what will Governments say? Whose power and control over people and resources will be threatened then? Would we choose to live in fear and apprehension and trust what those in power say on how we should view such a ‘threat’, or do we decide for ourselves?

Do we network on our own, bypass the media much of which is controlled by vested interests, and keep one another informed?

The icing on the cake is that these ascended beings radiate love and peace and are here to disarm the various bellicose factions that are running the world and us into the ground via disastrous economic and political policies. They are here to let us get our act together, for us to force our leaders (and elect the right ones) to come up with harmonious policies for our societies and dovetail them with the rest of the world’s interest as well. A revamp of the UN also takes place to say the least.

How will we respond to this kind of a paradigm shift?

Now let’s take the ascended beings out of the picture.

Let’s now assume that events come by that lead to crises all around starting with a form of economic meltdown and environmental disasters like severe floods, hurricanes, and earthquakes and our secular structures of power seem to collapse like sand castles before a tsunami. We will have to resort to community living like never before.

Assuming something like this may be in the works, what we should start looking for are as many ways to connect and share ideas and help one another not just within our communities, but throughout the world. We should be forming groups based on P2P concepts and other virtual communities, for example, to be in a position to keep things together while the next paradigm shift goes into motion.

This is a chance for people to take back their sovereignty and reclaim their right as decent human beings and not be subject to lies and manipulation anymore.

But of course, this is just another thought experiment.

And then again, history keeps showing us that we are only wiser in hindsight. But it does not always have to be this way.

Maybe first contact is when we start for the first time to truly see and contact one another as One.
