That's fine you're free to disagree but I don't recall saying "everything has some sort of innare need to crush everything else in order to gain power". I simply stated that the quest for dominance is an important part of almost all species whether it's the pursuit of all the females for mating or the best fruit. It's biological.

What about you? I don't believe for a second that you would willingly starve for the survival of your neighbor. Every human on this Earth has competed in some form or another and whether you realize it or not...that competition is to determine who is the victor, whether that be the smart, stronger or luckier victor. No man is above the pursuit of applying his will on others.

The names you listed were great great men...who were constantly looking to apply their wills to others in order to cause change or revolution...THAT, my peaceful friend, is a form of domination. The biological need to affect those people and circumstances around you for your benefit (as well as others). The pursuit of power or dominance isn't an evil thing...it's a human thing. Don't deify men...their ideals may be righteous but not one of them in their lifetimes could have said they had never pursued power or dominance. It's this biological drive that pushes mankind to evolve.

What about all of those who do NOT have your supposed 'innate need to dominate', who are a substantial chunk of humanity. A few of these famous ones are those such as Malcolm X, Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jr, and Nelson Mandela. How can you say everything has a natural need to dominate? I think you're wrong about what you think. I think you're especially wrong with what you think you know about humans, and those who do not need or wish to dominate, the many millions of us there are who do not want to dominate.
Are we not men?

hahahaha! The evil search for power is strictly human? You better get a bit closer to nature then you feel you already are my new age friend...the struggle for power or dominance is a biological imperative. Whether that power is for exclusive mating rights, top choice of fruit, who gets to work with donald trump or which female wrestles those cute little hip huggers from the other because they're on sale...it's a biological drive.
War cannot be only limited to Earth simply because another species is more advanced technologically from Man...forgive me for saying this but...ever since the new age crystal huggers started pouring into the UFO community aliens have been slowly becoming "ascended masters" with flowers and licorice on their mind.
Until they make worldwide first contact we'll never know whether they're a warring race or a bunch of crystal toting channelers.

I think we are the only species that suffers from this need to destroy life in search of power.
This is why they keep their distance.

You can disagree with me all you want but in doing so you would be applying your will...your biological need to be heard despite possibly being wrong.
Power and position and dominance is not wrong...don't demonize the human need to seek something better.
It's not a reptilian avatar and most of this reply is way too far out there to go any further with you. Just by you posting and trying to prove me wrong by stating your strange new age opinion is your attempt to "dominate" my statements. To "prove me wrong"...to be the victor. To overcome what you feel is an inferior set of statements.

LOL, I think you having that reptilian avatar fits you perfectly, because you still seem bound by your reptilian brain.
NEED to dominate? Very reptilian. Not humanoid. The reptilian brain in humans only bring problems and our next step in evolution is to overcome that reptilian part of our brains. It is not natural to us. Humans before us did not have reptilian brains, they were magickal. They were very creative beings. Very spiritual.
Until SOME ONE altered the DNA of humans and gave us the reptilian counterpart of the brain so that we function on fear.
You make me laugh.

I wish I could reply with the same comment you did about you making me laugh but in all honesty...it's sci-fi minded nutcases like you with your wishy washy theories that are watering down the UFO community and in my opinion...delaying any type of major disclosure. As long as the UFO community sits and wacks off to it's own stupidity and strange religious quackery it'll continue to lose the credibility it deserves.
Ah! The mantra of the unstable and those that cannot prove anything they claim.

So...you're trying to EMPOWER others on this board and help them OVERCOME my "disinformation"?

The real information? Based on the real idiot David Icke? I agree. It's funny...you tend to point at the dictionary and it's definitions quite a bit but for some reason I cannot locate the phrase "reptilian brain" in reference to humans in the dictionary...funny, it's not in the encyclopedia either. Strange huh?

Look at the way you try to prove me wrong and the way I prove you wrong. First you TRY, I do. Second your basing your arguments according to judgements, labelling/categorization, disinformation, and definitions of words that dont fit with their true meaning.
Now look at mines. See the difference?
Only here to spread the real information.
