My comment on your rather ridiculous theory is as follows:
Had you done any research on Near death experiences, you would have come across several interesting things of note, one of them being that, during Near Death Experiences (or, when you actually die) your pineal gland in your brain (behind your hypothalamus, which is directly in the centre of your brain) releases a chemical called nn-'___'.
This is a highly psychoactive substance, read up on it on www.erowid.com or google it.
This is not a proven fact, but it makes sense, logically (as if psychedelics make sense!)
Second of all, you mentioned empathy -- hmm, where have i heard that before? ah! back to www.erowid.com, look up MDMA, otherwise known as extacy. I will spare you with the background information of this drug, and just tell you this, it causes the user to feel extremely empathetic, and sometimes the people who use this drug have their lives or mentalities changed. I am not trying to advocate irresponsible drug use, however, it is an interesting point to your theory.
MDMA did indeed come from our extremely intelligent brains (or extremely dull, depending on how you look at it...) however, '___' which I associate with NDEs comes from within our own brains. And we're not the only ones.
This paragraph is not about drugs. Actually, this paragraph is to tell you that you are a little bit stupid. [edited by ATS4Dummies] look at what apes do to apes, or what humans do to other animals or plants or any living organism. You'd be surprised at the amount of what you would consider 'cruelty' in the world.

Obviously we are not the only intelligent life in existence.
So why the secrecy? Why are we quarenteened and stuck on this rock instead of being a part of a much larger galactic society?
My conclusion is humans are a disastrous disappointment to our creator/designer and also to our galactic neighbors. We are someone's genetic experiment gone horribly wrong.
But first - the data:
* we are the only primate with 23 chromosome pairs. All other primates have 24.
* we are the only ones with a negative RH blood factor; -Unheard of- in the rest of the animal kingdom.
* Our minds are so radically different than all other species that we are for all measures of consideration, true freaks of nature. I know, chimps are smart. Please, that's no comparison, not to sky scraper, airplane, bridge and hydroelectric dam building humans. There is nothing like us, not even close.
* We are also the most poorly adapted creature. No fur, claws, powerful hind legs, large teeth, or body armor. Just brains. Weird hugh?
* The vast majority of our junk DNA has recently been found to not be shared with any other primate species, and therefore, certifiably alien.
You don't have to agree with me, but I'm convinced: we are someone's engineered product.

Some people call it God, while others call it evolution. I call it technology, and someone had it before we did. They were really good at it. I'm definitely impressed.
Now think of our "relationship" to that of our hypothetical creator framed within the context of the evil within us. Look at our own propensity to stoop down to the level of deep dark moral chasms surpassing the necessity to simply kill to eat, and scrutinize our propensity to ***INTENTIONALLY*** spread unhappiness in the world with an endless supply of evil and sadistic acts. Finally we get to the quintessential essence of what I would call the unforgivable flaw which has cast us out of the the galactic garden of eden forever, never to be integrated, and never to be forgiven.
This is why we are abandoned. We are souless heartless and empty vessles, exiled by our very own creator, and our own galactic family. We just don't deserve it, and we will never be worthy, ever. We are [snipped]. As a measure of unhappiness created in the world, the apes are more worthy of that love than we.

In reply to your OP, I agree with much of what you said, but, nobody came and told us...
Nobody came and told us about our connection with the Universe.
Nobody came and told us that the Earth is sentient, sustains us, and that we should treat her as our Mother.
Nobody came and told us that technology isn't the answer, but rather a sustainable, simple way of life is the path to an advanced civilization.
Nobody came and told us our history and our place in the Universe.
If they did, if we knew, I'd bet we would be a totally different collective.
If we're an experiment gone wrong, why haven't our galactic brothers shown us the right way?
It makes no sense that other races in the Universe would sit back and shake their head at us, when nobody came and told us the truth.
If they're watching, they would see that civilizations come and go, and starts over. You'd think they would fill us in on the ways of being and living.
Yes we're lost and seriously misguided souls, looking from the outside in we must look like barbaric lunatics, but why would be purposely excluded when we haven't been given a chance?
The world needs the truth, now more than ever.
