Sounds like a false flag ops to me.
The ET will reveal themselves to save us? Not likely. For as long as the history of humanity, none of that has ever happened before.
It's just a group of human beings behind the curtain like wizard of oz.

from my random knowledge and truth seeking i have so far been led towards the theory that we are to somehow save ourselves! i don't know if that means by us asking for help, or actually doing the hard bit on our own! i certainly believe in et life and i also think something will happen in 2012, but i remain open minded and try not to think of any of it as a truly negative thing!

What?! I 'don't trust no frickin' aliens to come and save the world form anything to be honest. But I still don't think any outside force should be able to intervene in anything, even if it does mean our destruction.
Because ET-intervention and assuming responsibility for other planetary civilizations is contradictory to every universal and spiritual law imaginable.

Now wouldn't the fire dept try and put out a zoo on fire if it gets out of control? You need to save the the animals, right? And this third rock from the sun sure resembles a zoo what with guys at the helm of world affairs monkeying around to make this a lousier place to live in! I don't think ETs would like to touch this with a barge pole until things come to a head. Probably a nuclear war would affect them in some ways that we are unaware of?

I think humans are unstable enough to try and nuke an alien command carrier, don't you?

As a Buddhist, I can tell you that "salvation" is taught in Buddhist terms of self responsibility. That is, one doesn't wait around for another being or beings to free us from suffering. It is up to US to end suffering in this world. Buddhists believe that each of us has it in us to end suffering.
Many Buddhist traditions talk of beings not only of our world, but of countless worlds, so the idea of extra-terrestrials existing is not an issue.
What I find hard to believe is that a Buddhist monk would waste his time telling people that other beings will be saving us. His "job" as a monk and teacher would be to help others help themselves.
