The question of "diplomacy" in human-alien interactions

Human-alien interactions are common and ongoing. Indeed, the thesis of my next book (After Contact and Conflict) is that such interactions are the norm, not the exception, among our neighbors. But what KIND of interactions? Do our neighbors openly invite heavy-handed, uninvited technological semi-occupation by one heavy industrial alien group into their worlds? Common sense suggests no, of course not. There's an organic derivative of law, whether it’s written or not, whether acknowledged by one offending alien population or not. It's explicit in the universal ecology. All peoples must be careful about who approaches them.

The norm for alien interactions is a mixed community of interactions. Human neophytes sometimes think, or want to think, that it's okay to just open your skies to heavy industrial, agenda-minded alien incursions and let them descend to do as they choose---after all, they're more advanced technologically, therefore they must know best, goes such thinking. But if and when readers pay close attention to the well-phrased, very thoughtful accounts of any and all of our native neighbors (gray alignment aliens—grays, Nordics, Pleiadians, Semitics, gray hybrids like those who crashed at Roswell aren’t native to our galaxy), readers begin to notice that such populations welcome the universal mindedness of mixed alien community of mind and at least some interactions via mind-communications. However, few if any of our neighbors think it's safe to allow heavy incursions, direct intrusions of other alien societies into their skies. That is thought to be dangerous.

So, when talking about human diplomacy we need to specific. Diplomacy is reserved for recognized representatives who are in direct, open consultation with their peoples. Diplomacy isn't a role arrogated by individuals who think they always have the best interests of a people in mind. Instead, diplomacy is only valid when the process is open and involves legitimate representation. Diplomacy refers to the representation of a people's formal or delegated governmental auspices, or authority. The typical human contactee has no direct communications with human governments about a "diplomatic" role. Human governments haven't yet risen to the existing, contemporary inter-stellar standard of honesty about aliens in an inhabited universe. Therefore, diplomacy isn't the correct word to describe what typically occurs between a contactee and an alien, or aliens.

There is one complication in this, at present. Human governments aren't composed along the lines of equality, either economically or socially, while alien societies almost universally are, or at least try to formulate themselves as being aware of larger social wholes. The more evolved, alien kind of citizenship is one that’s universal in a society, where it isn't so much a matter of top-of-a-pyramid "authority" and control, but rather is one of involvement, shared government and directly involved citizenship rather than elite-nominated citizenship. Nonetheless, there are authorities in alien societies, aliens who may cut an alien off or limit his/her interactions if an alien violates certain life-and-death safeguards.

So, contactees may feel as though human government isn't legitimate, according to alien standards, but it is, nonetheless government. The temptation for some is to assume that their new experience, their awareness of aliens' more equalitarian norms allows a given human to speak for humankind--as a kind of advanced-case diplomat, but do such people actually represent humankind? No, they can't possibly do so when no human government openly acknowledges the existence, let alone the policy and political character of aliens.

Is that fair? No, it isn't. We need to have people actively exploring and querying, investigating and carefully communicating with aliens, but there are real dangers out there to be mindful of. Our very own, nearby alien neighbors have apparently chosen to not allow mass incursion, alien buzzing of their skies (intended to impress unsuspecting humans) by other aliens in advanced craft. Would your nation invite the Chinese to fly over at any time, provided they don't land or openly occupy your soil? Obviously not. That would tempt the Chinese to exercise some control over your skies. Before long, they might presume to limit and determine your international relations, your commerce and your contacts. It would be dangerously naive to expect that aliens are any different in that regard.

The Chinese would also be incompetent were they to allow United States craft or drones to buzz their skies. It's a simple matter of self-determination, responsibility and the necessary development of a peoples' educated awareness of their circumstance. Humans and aliens must patrol and monitor their surroundings.

So, when Steven Greer profits by openly inviting aliens to buzz a paying, supposedly "diplomatic" group whose only qualifications are having paid $2300 or more for a view of aliens and alien craft, does that rate as real human diplomacy? Of course not. Greer hasn't even bothered to query or elucidate the history, policy and origins of the given aliens. Perhaps it makes him feel good to be the man standing in the spotlight when an alien craft descends, Greer in the center of an alien ship's glow, but where's the real stuff of diplomacy---detailed reports about the internal dynamics, the disposition and history, the demands and or wants of those same aliens?

Rather than be specific, Greer tends to speak in terms of his understanding of God and an alien role in a larger kind of consciousness. That's an important kind of consideration but it isn't diplomacy. Diplomacy is a formal role between peoples and involves open consultation, review, and reporting to both peoples. Obviously, human governments have chosen to ignore a vital reality. Their default has become dangerous to this planet, at this time, because events proceed apace nonetheless, without adequate analysis and discussion. We are literally under a kind of semi-occupation by a busy, potentially aggressive and materially motivated group of aliens: those aliens affiliated with so-called "grays" and the other aliens of their reported alignment. Researcher agree about this, although we tend to quibble over our interpretation of such facts.

Absent minimal, careful reporting to humankind--look at the dissembled mess that our reports are--absent careful reportage, we’re extremely vulnerable. There are reports of abductions, fatalities, taking of positions on planets near us, and a possible infiltration phase pursuant to genetic manipulation on a mass scale. And what is that all about?

That's a subject for formal, mass consideration on this planet, but due to corruption and a technically non-competent kind of elite social order on this planet, human governments can't agree with, or acknowledge the existing contemporary standard of all alien worlds: open, informed discussion of such subjects. Human governments think that ignorance is the best policy.

In my case, I've interacted with aliens for years but have never once claimed to represent humankind. Instead, I've openly stated that I'm an investigative researcher, I will report as much as I learn to other humans—whether it be complimentary or not. I don’t ignore ugly or disturbing details. I never pretend to represent human government(s), although the subject of larger human identity is very much a part of all such discussions. There are many important distinctions to be made within that same context, but my interactions can't be called diplomacy. To say that would be like wearing a Burger King crown and pretending to represent a given city.

We, on this planet, are still working on creating an awareness that will provoke enough people to demand honesty of their governments. We haven't arrived there yet. In view of that, we need to be more careful when discussing the notion of diplomacy. Otherwise, we dissemble into a babble of competing, often unscientific pretenders, each claiming to be a real diplomat regarding aliens. Imagine what happens when some on this planet say that yes, they represent humankind and truly want an abducting, materially motivated group of aliens to land here and operate more freely.

Would our neighbors do that? Or would they opt for more narrowly channeled physical relations and a healthy distance, a protective cordon in their skies to prevent unwanted taking of their resources, occupation of their surroundings, and direct manipulation of their people?

Isn't the answer to that question most obvious?

Which brings us back to the subject of human-alien communications. In a book I'm currently writing, I pose that our first challenge is to develop concepts and communications norms to more adequately equal the fast shifts of consciousness and more finely textured physics and relationships that our alien neighbors have already begun upon. But how does a typical person even begin on that? Does he or she have to resort to contacting an intrusive, potentially dangerous alignment of aliens now in our near vicinity?

No. The easiest, more productive place to begin is your very own back yard. Animal consciousness knows no barriers to the fast shifts of consciousness and telepathic awareness that human physics and research programs have already proven to exist. In order to simply survive, animals feel into any and every kind of awareness that they can---with one exception: they must try to guise or limit their location when other animal predators are close. They must hide their nests, food supply and progeny. As math professor Barbara Shipman at the University of Rochester notes, honey bees do a pollen-locating dance for other bees that corresponds to what mathematicians call “the flag manifold,” an extra dimensional configuration. Lacking cognitive filters for such ideas, animals already use extra sensory perception. For example, just before the tsunami devastated Southeast Asia in December of 2004, dogs tugged their owners uphill and elephants picked people up and carried them to higher ground—before the tsunami was even visible.

Lacking conceptual blocks to such awareness, animals can expand their consciousness and feel into places that direct, line of sight vision cannot. Your best place to begin on sensing such consciousness is the smallest, the very smallest birds in your back yard, the finches or hummingbirds, for example. Here’s how to do so. Feed them and place clean water for them to drink. Place bird seeds for them to feed on ($5 for a big sack that lasts 6 months), and whenever you go outside to either fill or check on the food they will quickly be aware of your presence. You're regarded as friendly---after all, what could be more supportive than providing for their survival (besides respecting and committing to the planet's resonant ecology, that is)?

Animal communications are easily possible, but you must remember that they don't use words or your kind of "language." Instead, animals communicate ideas and a more subtle kind of pictorial notion. Your pet dog or cat may do the same with you. Some people pick up on it, and when you respond the animal takes it in stride---your pet can't bark out Aha! or a verbal statement. The reason I suggest small birds is because, if you want to feel into their kind of non-verbal communications, you must remember: they move more quickly, their hearts beat much more rapidly and that translates into much faster, albeit more subtle shifts of consciousness. Those fast shifts of consciousness and concept are much closer to the alien standard of thought and communications--for many reasons (information density, rapidity, subtlety and the ability to simultaneously be aware of other individuals and/or group communications).

A small bird can sculpt and focus, dim or soften its second depth communications to you--the idea seems to be to not broadcast it to competitor bird species or predators. At first, their communications may elude you. They whistle or chirp to each other in a way that appears to be more a signal to pay attention to the finer, information-packed second depth (telepathic) communications that their brains are clearly capable of. They actually feel a kind of emotion (nurturing love, closeness, appreciation and gratitude, and a sense of community). Why do small birds gather together on wires to share that last, fading warmth of the sun's rays? For the same reasons you gather with other humans. In that respect, birds are more social than humans---they gather more often. And how do birds communicate that an entire flock will shift direction in flight? If you think about it, it's like what dolphins reportedly do. They inflate their awareness into that second depth, a kind of telepathic sharing, and the entire group can pick up on it—all at the same time. While flying with their kind, they feel safer to do so, hence the communication may be slightly amplified for the group.

And if you feed small birds, then reach out with your thoughts to rapidly communicate the pictorial thoughts, ideas of your care for them, your food, your awareness, don't be surprised to hear what are essentially your little bird friends chirping either to you, along with fast-burst ideas or chirping to their mates that you, the provider and believe-it-or-not, bird-aware human, is stepping outside. The first test you must pass with small birds is to know that they are often chased away by jays or other larger birds. In order to watch out for each other, they tend to stick together. You'll have to listen for the small chatter of that smaller-sized bird community. And if you’re sympathetic, they will recognize that.

But why talk about birds, here? Because by practicing with birds, by learning to pick up on their fast shifts of consciousness, you'll be much more competent to interact with aliens in order to understand their more condensed, fast impulse kind of thinking. Remember, aliens don't necessarily begin with the human, mammalian idea of consciousness. Don't assume that the slow, rolling motions and physical impulses of a chimpanzee (an old human imprint) are either the model or the assumption of an entirely alien population. The truth is, birds are much closer to an alien kind of rapidity, subtlety, even if the larger bones and frame or physical gestures of an alien body may seem to align with our simian notion.

Aliens learn from other species. They “talk” about a deeper, finer kind of conversation with the nature around them. They can learn to shift, or essentially divide their nerve impulses into the much deeper, much faster yet slighter universal whole---which is a fractional awareness rather than the old, essentially primitive human notion of being surrounded by whole-numbered, concrete individual objects. Ever communicate with an alien?

No doubt you noticed that they will never reduce their awareness to just the chatter between you and them. They always leave it open to larger awareness---either their group or possibly larger. They know that there's a kind of cross-exchange on a larger, yet finer and deeper scale. The best aliens know that such awareness (a kind of looking back at, or through them) can far exceed their species bounds.

By practicing with small birds, you may also learn to sculpt and contour your awareness, or at least be aware that all "listeners" aren't necessarily altruistic and in agreement with your principles. It's rather liberating and profound to see that supposedly small-brained birds can be so fast, can pack so much detail (location, intensity, familiarity and collegiality, food concerns, survival, family, weather, even sentience) into very fast bursts of communication. You have to listen without presumption.

You have to do the same with aliens. To even begin to communicate with your actual, native alien neighbors of this galaxy, you must first be able to see beyond and communicate outside the bounds of the gray alien alignment that is currently intervening here. Our neighbors are open to communications with humans, but you must first be able to merge the details into a higher kind of plasmic awareness, a smoothly yet greatly expanded envelope of energy that isn't made of human words and textbook phrasing.

You can communicate great depth and detail, as such, without even reducing the exchange to the slowed, obfuscating terms of materially or hegemony-minded gray alignment aliens. Some readers may think, no---grays have NO material, only altruistic motives here. After all, they're aliens---with more advanced technology. But how do they make that technology? With materials, using information sometimes gleaned from other, unsuspecting societies. They must mine metals, minerals and more. They must farm other materials. They must guard and protect their operations of the sort because there are other alien competitors.

Do you really think grays and their associates don't do drills, don't have alerts, and don't even bother to report on and be vigilant re: the presence of aliens who aren't part of their alignment (i.e. all of our native neighbors)? They are required to be on alert in such cases. And that kind of mentality doesn't translate to gray alignment agreement that you should communicate with, and learn from, your native alien neighbors. Instead, the gray alignment prefers to limit you to its subordinates.

We were talking about diplomacy, or the move toward a human awareness that will allow for real, meaningful diplomacy...

Here's how to begin on telepathy (of all kinds). From my book Alien Mind, free to read on the web:

Here’s a three-day exercise that can get you up to speed on remotely sensing aliens.

DAY ONE

Remember, scientists write that human brainwave frequencies normally range from 5 to 30 hertz (they can go lower and higher). Brain waves of your resting, tranquil states are called extremely low frequency waveform, or e.l.f.'s that range from 5 to 11 hertz and can pass through solids easily. So, telepathy is easily possible in such ranges [remote sensing is probably partly “scalar,” because it fluctuates more deeply inward in that resting state (it cycles “negatively,” as such), while it also connects far outward at the same time].

Here's a beginning exercise that I suggest often. Close your eyes and just relax. Clear your mind of all concerns. Make it a dark blank. Then raise your hand up and hold it near your head (eyes closed). Using the structure of the nerves in your brain (and elsewhere) try to sense that hand, not visually, but its energy fluctuations. In both e.l.f. and negative cycle terms, it will register faintly. Once it registers, move it slightly. You'll be doing a kind of remote sensing of it (not visual, not through the arm's wetware), and the movement vivifies the awareness. It's as though every movement pulls on a deeper, more elastic sense of time, and fluctuations. *A more vivid example is to have someone hold a baby close to you when you have your eyes closed. Using the same methods, you'll feel the baby's radiant innocence. It’s one of the most vivid experiences of the sort.
What you're actually doing is called "toh shi," in the traditional Japanese sense of the word. *Russel Targ, PhD, taught hundreds in the CIA how to do this.

DAY TWO

Step 2: Find a place near a wall or part of your house where there’s window glass, plus
metal and some wood or drywall (a kind of chalky stucco-like material in interior
walls). Now stand or sit nearby, and, using the nerves in your brain (not your eyes), "feel" the different areas, taking time to concentrate on one (i.e. the wood), then another
(i.e. glass), then others. What you're doing is like tasting the elemental energy of each different material. If this is the first time you do it, you may not notice much of a difference today because it's your first "taste" of each.

However, tomorrow, after you have a memory for how each "feels" in that sense, you should begin to notice that different kinds of materials feel different to remote sensing of the sort. Again, the Japanese call this toh shi. Different atoms in each material have a different spectrum and emit different kinds of energy, hence your ability to feel a kind of difference. Again, be sure to do this with your eyes closed so that you don't confuse it with visual information.

You have to be able to make your mind a dark blank before trying to feel different materials in this way. Try it on different days, preferably later in the evening when you're more settled and your brain can calm into those low frequency ranges. You'll especially notice the contrasts between two different materials in your immediate scan. Then, when you begin to notice that you can sense the feel of different materials (stick to basics like wood, metal, plastic, etc.), you can move up to bigger tasks.

For example, pick a neighbor's house and close your eyes, then feel inside to sense what materials are there. You'll then sense their shape. Don't try to guess or deduce; just let whatever you sense come into your mind. Try this at intervals later, with different enclosures or such. It's effective over distances, ironically.

And finally, remember---remote sensing of the sort takes you into a more condensed kind of physics in which minds can meet and share, communicate and form agreements. So, go with a very social sense of the larger continuum, and be on your best behavior.

Before you begin on day three, you should allow a day for your first "taste" sensing, then
try it again the next day. An extra day helps.

PART THREE –a whole different category

Part 3: If you've proceeded through the first two parts, this part is important. Again, psychologists note that when you begin to do remote sensing of the sort (or even if you merely think about an extra-sensory capacity), new dendrite connections grow in your brain between cells. Like when you learn a foreign language, it enhances intelligence.

If you're comfortable with the previous exercises, now you should try sensing into buildings in order to do preliminary whole-body sensing of humans (their whole bodies).
Also, try sensing animals’ thoughts (fast but subtle imagery, feelings). To different sensers, humans will appear to have different energy features. Some sensers will immediately shift into a telepathic awareness of the individuals' consciousness. Others will note a seeming collective awareness quality in the people in a given location. You can essentially stretch and change your focus/resolution when sensing people. All nerve structure has energy that "bleeds" into the environment, however subtly. If you've been doing the above exercises, you know how it appears. Some sensers may look for a seeming light, or glowing quality to the whole human body (which will be starkly more pronounced in the cranial area). Others sense it like the thoughts in the dark of their own mind. You may also notice that different people can be connected, in various ways. *They may not notice that you're remotely sensing. As one contact told Phillip Krapf, to do telepathy, begin with another person’s extremities, then work up to their head.

Of course, the same basic considerations are important: non-violation, gentleness, and no sexual manipulative impulses (they would tend to backfire, anyway). Better yet, there’s a very subtle, almost elusive collective awareness, almost like a soft, soft floating microwhisper of the shared, deepest concerns, feelings, and more--common to most of the people you'll pick up on. You can tease this out, but remember: it's part of a larger social identity that other species, off-world and withal have kept close track of--probably since we evolved intelligence. So, this aspect of human awareness comes replete with highly evolved, finely textured safeguards. When you sense consciousness, you participate in it. Please, don't ever tutor a violent or criminal person in your developing awareness. Unlike some other individuals, I would advise against trying to financially gain from your developing awareness because the highest forms, the more vastly, deeply connected of all human+ sensitivities branch out into equalitarian societies (and a much more equal human future, believe it or not). I'm not even religious, but this aspect is so much like g--o--d that, well... (no gender, of course, and not singularly individual but broadly, finely social).

You can see how quickly remote sensing develops into profoundly long-term questions, possibilities, and more. When you sense others, you can tease out details but there’s a larger, vastly more evolved kind of continuum/sentience which, owing to the ironies of condensed, inter-dimensioning physics, is in some ways essentially looking (or cycling) back when we look out.

Here's an advanced exercise: try to see yourself from above. You may--if you're doing this all correctly--actually see exact, real-time details. However, such vividness isn't so important, nor usually something that your body energy can sustain for long. You can also begin to see entire locations from above (this may not go well if you aren't a good, non-violating person, I must caution---they aren't so welcome withal.)

Finally, and this is important: this same capacity for sensing humans is how you can sense aliens. But remember: they often have psychotronic systems that can detect who is probing. In my case, I'm integrated into a larger, non-violating, fairly ordinary native and interested observers' context, hence my probing is studious and I report on it for larger human readership. You can get a nearly instant sense of other humans: their feelings, moods, concerns, and underlying considerations but it's a kind of snap, or flash sensing of such (not a visual flash, not in the way that you want to be too noticeable about). With aliens, you get a sense of whether or not they are secretive about a potentially harmful agenda, or whether they lack material motives here and are simply studying us.

Know how to not violate aliens and know how to pull back, yet keep your sensitivity alive in the surrounding continuum if you encounter a problem case (think about telling someone you can trust if complications arise, and try to get word into internet circles). If you're doing the above exercises, you're developing a second depth of awareness. You might want to think about the weird science of it---it helps you advance your awareness.
I've helped a variety of people in this regard, and the awareness can be variously begun upon. I can't begin to state all the implications of such awareness in this brief space (they are astounding and involve a process of discovery, plus a very agreeable kind of humbling, a transparency in which no human can continue to violate others without losing out in a major, all-of-time way). Indeed, the all-of-time implications will help you lose your fear of death and may help you commit to necessary, ongoing human improvements. Finally, and perhaps most importantly, part of this kind of sensing will allow humankind to isolate and locate human offenders of the worst and most brutal sort.
