Editor,
I was recently asked if I thought there is extraterrestrial life.
Yes, I think there is extraterrestrial life. In fact, I think representatives from highly advanced intergalactic societies visit us from time to time. They disguise themselves by looking the same as we do and stay long enough to determine if we have advanced beyond the consciousness level of interacting with each other and all else that exists on this planet and the planet itself, as if our survival depends on us dividing up into warring camps and fighting each other and depleting the resources available to us on and in this planet to the extent that the planet will very soon no longer be able to sustain us as the species we are allowing ourselves to become.
So far, the determination has been that we have not advanced far enough to be welcomed into any intergalactic society.
That is how it will continue to be until we become aware enough to begin to work cooperatively and compassionately, together, in an interdependent manner to manifest what is best for us all at the expense of no one. Otherwise, our species becomes extinct and is superseded by another species that will have the opportunity we squandered to survive and prosper.
It is my opinion that we human beings on this planet are determining whether we will survive or become extinct every moment of every day by the way we are interacting with each other, all else that exists on this planet and the planet itself. As the comic strip character Pogo told us several years ago, “We have found the enemy, and it is us.”
