The alien races already help through individuals, mostly without the public knowing it. If helping is the goal, our knowing exactly all the ways they do that would be for some extra reason, which could come out at any time in the future.
This is our own world to manage. If one person takes the help of other life to move a spoonful of a mountain, then that is all that really matters. The other races cannot take over, or else they would own us and our world, and become responsible for all our problems.

The Earth is degenerating these days. Bribery and corruption abound.
Children no longer mind their parents, every man wants to write a book, and
it is evident that the end of the world is fast approaching.

Everyone at every time has allways thought this. The 'good old days' were the 'golden age' where men were heros and everything was right in the world, and today everything in degenerate and smaller and dirtier. It was true for the ancient greeks, it was true at the end of the first millenium, and its true now. Heck, I bet the cavemen were saying the same things.

notice however, i suspect that thats not an actual tablet. But the sentiment sums it up nicely.

Yes it would have an initial chaotic effect on mankind and the established instituions, at first.
But eventually, change would take place based on the truth.

This is our mess to fix and the other races are doing everything they can to help us do it, but we need more people willing to work with alien life to do it faster. This is humanity's world and way of life and our right to build it and run it the way we choose. To the visiting races, there is no separation between the leaders of our world and the publics, or sides to choose between countries either. We have all created our govts for all the correct reasons as well as the wrong ones and we can improve on our own. Only, we aren't doing it quite fast enough. Our technological advancements have superseded our moral and spiritual advancement, so we created weapons of mass destruction instead of uniting our countries, curing our diseases and feeding and educating everybody. If we kept on going the way we see we are going, we would probably kill ourselves out, but things are already changing from that course that we don't see yet.

I don't think any aliens could do anything to help. Just look at how things are now today;
we have hybrid-engined cars aviable now, wich use alot less fuel than V8 engine cars. Wich would reduce the air pollution alot. This even without the help of aliens! But unfortunly people by cars with an V8 because of its sound or power, wich is alot more imporant than the air. All the buyers of V8'ers prove this.
we can today filter out much of the pollution from production/industry. But it is not done by all that many companies.
This it two easy things we could do to 'save the planet', but we choose not to. So, from the eyes of aliens that see this; why should they try to help us, when we ourself does not bother to try?
And lastly, if they gave us technology to make totally pollutionfree engines and factories, would we buy it?
No. It won't give the V8'er feel and thus people would not buy it.
Hmm maybe the europeans and asians would as they are used to engines with 4 cylinders.¨But that isn't important.
Actually, any catastrophic incidents or happenstances that occur won't need aliens to help or hinder 'em; an asteroid or a comet strike can happen just as well without Spaceship Guys as with them.

Hey, EarthSister, What do the Aliens think of Angels and who created Humans? And what is "spirituality" to you?
The other races have Angel experiences too. They understand what they are better than we do and can see them better than we can. Angels are direct emissaries of God and are a different kind of being from us people living on our worlds or between lives.
Advanced life understands (not just believes) that only God can create life, which is spirit. When we are alive in the physical, we live in our bodies, which can begin in any of a number of ways. We are already us before we ever have a body.
To me, absolutely every thing and everybody is spiritual. By the ability of our own spirit, we can perceive all other spirit, all other life. But humans are naturally not physically well aware of spirit yet, not even our own.
When we can perceive spirit, we can "experience" the life force and nature of all and any things and beings that are around us all, all of the time, anyway. We can see without our eyes and hear without our ears. Almost all humans do this from time to time, usually with our closest loved ones, usually at some "soul-shaking" event.
Multiply that ability by a million or a billion years of evolution, and that is how our visiting races perceive at every moment.
All humans are born with the ability to perceive spirit, but we barely do, which is just natural to us at this point in our evolution. For those of us who work with further advanced life, our alien contacts can help us use our abilities more than we can on our own, for the purpose of our contact with them. God and the Angels also do that with us, obviously. By spirit we are living an active parallel existence regardless of the awareness of our physical bodies.
We become spiritually aware by a connection between our body and spirit, or between our states of consciousness.
We can practice spirituality in many ways, whether it is through an organized religion or not, but spirituality is nature itself, not a set of beliefs. Spirituality and religion are not the same thing. All races of people practice spirituality as a way of living, and together through meditation and prayer.

Yes you have. We all have. Wether we vote or not; both are choises we make. The government we get is the results of all the individual choises; do I vote this one, or that one, or not at all? It all influence the makeup of the government.
> I cannot and will not take responsibility for the consequences of the actions of a few pyschopaths. It's bad enough I have to endure them.
Not sure who these 'pyschopaths' you talk about is. Do you mean politicans? Or actually dangerous pyschopaths that walk free in our society when they should have been locked in somewhere?
> Again with this "we" thing. Now the blame shifts to people that buy cars with big engines?
Blame? No, I give credit to them. But that is beside the point. The point you missed was that we now can do something about our pollution problem TODAY. Without the help of strangers from other stars. But the governments are reluctant to forbid old engines so nothing happens...
> I think you may have missed the point. There would be no buying. The technology and energy is free.
> Imagine 6 billion people, unhindered, working towards the benefit of everyone. There would be no need for money.
So the solution is a money-free society? But for that to happen we must have plans for how it should work. You do that! :-)

I belive we can fix alot. It require a kind of leadership that does not exist today, and / or the right person that not neccesary is a leader but one person who come up with workable ideas that most people try to make/live up to.
> You want to know what happens when technology is not obstructed by selfish psychopaths born into power?
> The computer you are reading this on would cost over $1,000,000 some 50 years ago. Now, it's a grand.
Now it cost a grand because of the invention of the transistor. 50 years ago they used the same kind of 'lightbulbs' as was used in radio. Computers would still cost a million if transistors was not invented.
I can't see this have anything to do with 'selfish psychopaths born into power'.

This is optimistic wiew that ignore the fact there's always a new sickness or disease.
I'll be dancing of joy the day we choose to live in a money-free society!
> Please try to think outside the systems just a little. I guarantee your perceptions will change drastically.
I know. But this was not what my message was about. Read my wiew at home.online.no... and select the 'future' option in the meny.
