It was reported a few years back that most of the US population, nearly 90% of us, believe that aliens or extraterrestrials do indeed exist. This is a dramatic upswing from the popular culture's perception of merely 50 years ago, when the number of believers hovered near 30%. I would venture that a similar leap in ET acceptance has occurred worldwide, despite any significant real exposure of any alien presence to the world-at-large. While these numbers seem to indicate that humanity is evolving toward a greater understanding of itself, it is equally probable that humanity is positioning itself for yet another great mind-fuck.

When one first opens him/herself to the unlearning process, all kind of information comes rushing in that previously had been blocked by the filters of mainstream reality. We allow this onslaught because there is a deep desire to know the truth after years of being lied to by the powers that be. While much of this information is vital to human empowerment, a great deal of it is trash and may have the ulterior purpose of siphoning away your ability to act decisively in the new perceptual landscape you have chosen for yourself. Eventually, you will have to develop the means to filter this information on your own if you want to have any chance of developing your powers as a divine architect.

Such is the challenge regarding information about UFOs and Aliens. The cultural acceptance of otherworldly realities noted in the introduction appears to have Illuminist designs all over it. Our perceptions seem to be shaped by New Age books, Hollywood movies, Sci-Fi Channel programs and a collection of vague photographs and reports closely related to military base activities. From an unlearned glance, these are hardly credible sources.

It is the opinion of the IOU that humanity does indeed have an alien connection. This connection is most tenable when one looks at our ancient history and the geological record. The latter contains artifacts and fossils that the mainstream considers "anomalies", while the former reveals an astronomical intelligence that modern science has only recently been able to verify. Furthermore, the worldwide corroboration of ancient myth in regards to earth cataclysms and "godly" contact is more than enough to credibly open the space in one's perception for a greater truth about humanity.

But in consideration of all the evidence available, we are still left wanting for any meaningful "contact" or "exchange" that is truly beneficial for humanity's future. A short list of the more popular kinds of contact only exacerbates this point further.

		Crop Circles - Most are truly astounding works of art, symmetry, balance and complex mathematics. But there is nothing in them, even in their construction, which speaks definitively of an otherworldly origin.
		Channeled Info - There has been some useful information here on the nature of reality and its multi-density, multi-dimensional properties. There is also a lot of spiritual garbage like "non-interference" policies that are supposedly keeping the "good aliens" from helping humanity better itself. Contact isn't interference?
		Abductions - No doubt there are real cases of abductions, but there are also cases of kidnappings by humans in governmental organizations and the overlaying of alien images onto those events.
		UFOs - Like crop circles, these events capture our imagination because of their speed and symmetry beyond what our mental filters appreciate air/space/time travel to be. But with the amount of money poured into secretive "black budget" operations by many governments, and the proximity of these sightings to military bases, there is room to believe that what we are witnessing is merely human technology still in a rigorous testing phase.
		Remote Viewing - The problem here is not necessarily what the viewer sees as much as how the viewer interprets what he/she sees. If what the viewers are witnessing is truly alien, then the viewer may actually lack the comprehension or the ability to accurately translate what one has been shown. It has been my experience that remote viewers with excellent sense perception are not the most spiritually advanced persons nor have they unplugged sufficiently from the mainstream reality to render a prediction that is truly useful. You could apply this criticism to the aforementioned channelers as well.

Awakened researchers know that the world controllers have an "alien agenda" fomenting somewhere in the shadows as either a springboard event into an overt world government or as the deliverance of human chattel over to their alien masters. In both cases, controlling the public's perception about extraterrestrials is paramount to maximizing the reaped benefits of such long awaited orchestrations. Too many times, information about aliens has coincided with the agenda of our political leaders.

Such a correlation should not be dismissed easily. It points to information about aliens being a total fabrication or, in the more likely scenario, aliens being co-conspirators in the farming of disempowered humans.

Humanity certainly has not witnessed much of any intelligent alien contact. That beings from another reality would choose to interact with our world leaders is a harsh condemnation of their powers of observation and discernment. Were their intentions truly wise and/or benevolent then the proper contacts would be made to ensure the brighter evolution of human consciousness. Needless to say, this would exclude almost all of our present world leaders.

Our species has not seen any benefit in the alleged alien encounters we claim to have witnessed. The spiritual platitudes supposedly garnered from ET contact have been translated into New Age gobbledygook that really doesn't change the operating reality. Nor has any technology been revealed that would enable humans to divorce themselves from the present power structure. To date, we have been left with fruitless searches for meaning and solutions from alien races, which, if you really think about, is the same fruitless and meaningless search we have attempted in relation to the idea of god in present and previous centuries. Both paths have shown themselves to be dead ends.

Unlearners who are championing the cause of human empowerment have little time to dabble in the peculiarities of the alien question as long as idiocy and secrecy remain the defining norms surrounding the issue. Practical matters in these changing times require information that is, above all, useful in helping people create a life free of oppressive control structures. Should any of you find an alien entity willing to provide such enlightened discourse, kindly send them to the IOU for a proper interrogation.

In the meantime, humans contemplating what will happen to our collective future are reminded to return their focus to the present moment in front of us all. It is in that space/time reality that the human heart speaks the loudest. It is calling you now to a deeper power and understanding within yourself that will provide you with the necessary courage to answer your life's (and this time's) challenges.

When we can truly, collectively, understand ourselves and correct the conditions of abuse that pervade this planet, perhaps then we can turn to the universe at large and greet our "neighbors" on our own terms. Failure to address our own power issues will continue to leave us at the mercy of the world controllers, whether they be alien or not. As it stands right now, the alien question is serving as an excellent distraction, turning our collective fantasies of salvation into a creeping nightmare of bondage that will be exploited for the maximal political gain at the appointed hour. As long as we exist in either dreamy state, we are not ready for truth that will change our lives.
