What about the future?&#8221; Zaius replies, &#8220;I may just have saved it for you.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\">The fight for SURVIVAL is often characterized as &#8220;humanity versus anything nonhuman&#8221; &#8212; such as apes, or robots or aliens.<\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\">Most often the battle is won through military means or clever use of technology like a computer virus to outwit the enemy (<i>Independence Day<\/i>). Sometimes it is simply &#8216;dumb luck&#8217;, like when humanity is saved from Martian invaders by common microbes in <i>War of the Worlds<\/i>.<\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\">But what if our survival on Earth depends on something else altogether &#8212; like our ability to <i>adapt<\/i> to CHANGE in a way we never expected?<\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\">What if there was some inevitable force at work, transforming our world slowly over time &#8230; and survival required an expansion of consciousness &#8212; sometimes referred to as &#8220;enlightenment&#8221; &#8212; meaning a willingness to accept all living things without judgement?<\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\">There is &#8212; though you might not know it, because so many &#8220;gatekeepers&#8221; in our society have labored long and hard to &#8220;protect&#8221; us from one simple truth: beneath all the superficial differences that separate us, we are the same.<\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\">Students of history might say that humanity has been part of an &#8220;experiment&#8221;, ongoing from the moment of our inception. For centuries, wars have been fought between people of different ideology or skin color &#8212; when one group migrates to another&#8217;s land, and so are characterized as &#8220;invaders&#8221;; mistreated or driven away in the short term, then slowly, they merge together and are accepted.<\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\">Fans of science fiction who follow the work of abduction researchers like Budd Hopkins (&#8220;Intruders&#8221;) and David A. Jacobs (&#8220;The Threat&#8221; and &#8220;Walking Among Us&#8221;) have also come to realize that SURVIVAL is a very real part of the Alien Agenda to join with the human race through hybridization. They mean to settle here on Earth, living side by side with human beings.<\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\">It&#8217;s already happening.<\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\">Science fiction has a way of becoming science reality &#8212; because it often points to a future that few of us have ever imagined. Consider <i>Star Trek<\/i> &#8212; where human and alien races have been merging for decades. Every day, we seem to be getting closer to a world involving the mix of humanity with aliens in ways that transform our point of view.<\/p>\n<p>Survival means transformation. We can&#8217;t fight <i>them<\/i> when they are part of <i>us<\/i>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s a question often posed in classic Sci-Fi books and movies &#8212; to challenge us.
