A cautionary note that feels like ‘advanced common sense’:

Excerpts:

This reality and awareness is not fearful. It is just real. It is the reality of life. It is what intervention has taught you throughout history—that it is always carried out for self-interest, and those races who are being discovered face great danger of destruction and subjugation.

Humanity has great promise and a greater destiny in the universe. But in order for you to fulfill this promise and this destiny, you must meet three requirements. You must be self-sufficient. You must be united. And you must be extremely discreet. These are the three requirements for all free nations in the universe…. humanity is still in an adolescent phase. It is reckless. It is irresponsible. It does not see itself in relationship to a larger arena of life. It is self-preoccupied. It is self-centered. It does not see what will be required of it to function within a Greater Community of life—a Greater Community that is not filled with human beings, a Greater Community where all races are searching for resources….do not think of the universe as a kind of wilderness waiting to be explored and exploited. This part of your galaxy is highly inhabited, and there is no wilderness here.This gives you advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that war and conflict are suppressed in this part of the galaxy. It is not like your movies or your concepts. There are no huge empires here that govern everyone, for large empires are difficult to maintain and rarely survive for long in the Greater Community.

That means that no one can take your world by force, for conquest by force is not allowed. It is suppressed to maintain stability and security in this region of space. Conquest by force is suppressed. It will not happen here.

They are not here to destroy you, but to use you, for they cannot live in this world. So they need you to work for them. And they will promise you anything. And they will assure you that you yourselves cannot solve your problems, in order to gain this power of influence over you.

This is how a small group of resource explorers could overtake the entire human family without the use of force. They will prey upon your conflicts and your inability to resolve these conflicts, emphasizing that they, more than you, have the power and the capability to meet the growing needs of humanity.Your Allies will not interfere because they realize that if they interfere, they will have to manipulate your perception and your understanding. In order for you even to act correctly, they would have to manipulate you. They would have to control you. This they will not do because they are freedom-loving races. They know, through the lessons of life in the universe, that the attempt to control the future and destiny of another world will require subjugation. And this they will not do.

Free races in your local universe are rare, and they must remain discreet. If they attempt to control or manipulate the fate of a world such as yours, then their discretion will be broken. So they must support you without intervention.

Those races who are the potential allies of humanity realize that humanity is not yet ready for contact. The human family does not have the unity, the maturity, the discretion or the strength yet to engage in the very challenging situations and involvements of intelligent life in the universe.

For you are destined for the Greater Community. But first you must survive the Greater Community. And you must mature and become wise regarding your engagement with other races.

No one should be intervening in your world at this time. This represents unethical behavior. It is being carried out for self-interest. It is deceptive. It is dangerous.

Freedom is difficult. It tends to be disorderly. It does not have the kind of stability that other races have acquired through dominance and control. But freedom is more important. It is more significant. It is more creative. And it is more beneficial. That is why the preservation of human freedom in the face of the Greater Community is so extremely important.

The human family is obsessed with its own dilemmas and its own corruption, its own problems and its own failures. But you do not see that your greatest challenge is being placed before you by the Intervention that is occurring in your world today, by those races who seek to take advantage of a weak and divided humanity. And you do not yet see that your destruction of your natural inheritance will prevent you in the future from maintaining your autonomy, your freedom and your self-determination within this world.

This is the reality of life in the universe. Everyone is struggling to gain access to resources. Everyone is facing competition in life.

Those races who have been able to remain free are very discreet. They do not involve themselves in networks of trade. They do not establish relationships with worlds that are not free. They are discreet. They are hidden. They maintain connections with one another through various means.

This is the price of freedom in a universe where freedom is rare. You can see this within your own world. It is not a mystery. A free nation in your world will have difficulty dealing with other nations where freedom is suppressed or denied its citizens. Whatever alliances you create here will be uneasy and difficult to maintain.

How much greater will this difficulty be between races who are entirely different from each other, who have different values, different cultures, different histories. The problems that exist nation to nation in your world are far greater when dealing with other races of beings whose language, culture and values are entirely different from one another.

The true Allies of Humanity are not intervening in the world because intervention leads to subjugation. They are not giving humanity technology because they know that this technology would only be turned into weaponry and used by selfish and exploitive forces in the world. They are not seducing you with their power. They are not tantalizing you with their technology. For they know that humanity must grow and become far wiser than it is today in order to have a chance to maintain its freedom and self-sufficiency in the universe.Your isolation is over. Intervention is occurring in your world and has been here for some time. But humanity is not seeing it. It is not recognizing it. Even amongst those few people who are aware of the foreign presence here, they are not interpreting this correctly for the most part. They think it is a blessing. Or perhaps they think there are good visitors and bad visitors because they still want something from the visitation.

Humanity has the power and the wealth. It can maintain its freedom in the universe, but it must function very differently than it is functioning today to meet the three requirements that are placed before it to be a free and self-determined race.

Humanity is still valued by free races in your local universe because the potential for Self-Knowledge still exists here. It has not been eradicated. It has not been lost, as it has been lost by so many other races and nations.

You must establish yourself as a free and self-determined people. You must learn Wisdom from the Greater Community. You must establish your own rules of engagement regarding any visitation to your world. And you must exercise your authority in this way to gain the recognition and the respect of other nations in this region of space.

It is a great challenge, but it is one that will unite you, redeem you and give you courage and strength—things that are now fading in the world, that are being lost. Humanity must regain its confidence. It must regain the power and the presence of Knowledge. It must unite for its own survival and well-being. And it must cultivate individual freedom here and face the challenge of living within the environmental constraints of this world.

If you can do this, you have a greater future in the universe. And it is this future now that represents your greatest challenge. For the future is here now. The Greater Community is here now.

Long before you are able to go out into space in any significant way, contact will occur and is occurring even now. And it is for this that you must prepare.
