Humanity from the extraterrestrial perspective

"Humanity is not the centerpiece of the Creation, only one of its developing aspects. This represents a tremendous breakthrough in understanding. This represents a great threshold in self-realization and the ability to effectively engage with the world."

"If for a moment you were outside the world observing it from a distance, you would indeed see how vulnerable human beings are and how little they know about the mental environment. Though human beings think they are wonderfully complex and very unpredictable, the truth is that they are very predictable and are not really that complex at all. Once you understood their behavior through observation and learned enough about them genetically, then you would have a good idea of what they would do given certain kinds of influences or circumstances. This investigation is currently going on....You are regarded as interesting, potentially dangerous and possibly useful subjects for study. In much the same way human beings study the behavior of animals, without a great deal of regard for the animal’s well-being, human beings are being studied in the same way. There are human traits that are valued and human traits that cannot yet be understood by those who are undertaking these experiments."

"[Some extraterrestrial races] consider you brutish and self-destructive, and they seek to gain whatever they can from you before you destroy yourselves."

[These races might say,] “The rich indulge themselves endlessly—in their hobbies, their passions and their plays while the rest of the world sinks into despair, poverty and degradation. Surely, this cannot be a world that will survive as a free race in the universe. Surely, this is a race that will not have the collective wisdom to restrain its activities and to prepare for its future. Surely, this will be an easy prize for those who use cunning and guile to achieve their goals.”

"Do not ever think that this world is owned by anyone else, that any other race in the universe has rights to this world or has any special privilege for visiting this world or can make any claims of ownership to this world or any claims of authorship for human evolution. This is your planet of origin. It has been given to you by the Creator of the universe with the hope and the desire that you would prosper here and maintain this world as the precious resource that it is. It has been given so that it may sustain you through your difficult phases of development and so that it may sustain you as you emerge into a Greater Community of intelligent life, where such worlds of biological diversity are rare."
