This is very long. TLDR: not all humans suck, it is difficult but try not to give in to fear.

The idea of alien visitors is fascinating to me, in an uncomfortable sort of way, and I think I understand why. I cannot shake the feeling that relying on whoever “they” are might be a trap. You know how the government divides things into false dichotomies as an insidious control tactic; “one world government will protect you” and “aliens come in peace” could both be wrong (distractions from whatever the hidden hand is doing).I feel like there is always an option C, the human brilliance of thinking outside the box and collaborating with like-minded people to find a solution.

Also, there are too many people who have had traumatizing experiences with abductions. Why would this be if they were benevolent helpers?

My gut is telling me that there is another, hidden play going on. There are beings that live on our planet alongside us, natural beings that exist in a dimension or frequency we cannot currently see (tho it seems to be bleeding through faster and faster). These are the benevolent or at least neutral ones, and the “aliens” CURRENTLY operating on earth intend to slow-boil us like frogs to take over the planet in the name of “advanced tech” and “alien healing methods” for whatever it is they are truly after.

If they painted themselves into the corner of an extinction event, I am all for being a helper, but not at the expense of clandestine medical kidnapping of my fellow humans and shady secret agreements with the people who LITERALLY eat babies. They must need us more than we need them. Helpers need firm, established boundaries or they will be swept under the current of a louder or more dominate voice and lose their way completely, lose autonomy of their own life and choices. Think about this: the ONLY thing stopping us from fixing the planet ourselves is our current radical self-imposed division.

I know one random redditor’s *feelings* don’t matter much in the grand scheme of things, but I just feel so strongly that accepting “advanced tech” or offers of “peaceful integration” from planetary outsiders has been the potential downfall of some (all?) of the civilizations that came to the end of a cycle before us. None of them played the game right. Maybe I am totally wrong. But I believe SO strongly that if we want to progress as a society, or survive a bottleneck, avoid being turned into human batteries, whatever.. we HAVE to step out of the institutionalized dogma of modern life and the endless ways we alienate our fellow humans. No shortcuts with strings attached. I am not talking a one world government, I’m talkings about dismantling modern society so completely that the “powers that be” have nowhere to hide.

If you are American, think of the mothers, blacksmiths, farmers- regular people- who stared down the British empire and said, “No. I do not accept this future for my family.” When word got out about the tyranny/taxes, the most fiercely sovereign of them- the ones with the wildest brightly blazing inner sparks- DID NOT sit and wait around until the window of time for action had passed.

These were regular people up against a Goliath. It probably felt like the end of the world to them! But the story ends with the ultimate escape against the odds: a band of dissatisfied, loyal, and clever humans fighting and clawing a life for themselves and the people they would give their life to protect in order to shove the boot of oppression off their necks. Now, more than ever, we need the non-linear thinkers, the fiercely brave who will fight for the truth at all costs, healers who guide and comfort the confused during whatever transition comes next, and those whose heart tells them there may be more to this unfolding story.

Every culture has stories of “supernatural bravery” that they are inspired by. Some people feel the peace and strength of a God fill their hearts when they pray. We see the archetypes of heroes all around us every single day, and aspire to be like them. And it gets better- you don’t have to be perfect. Perfect heroes are boring. We cheer for the ones who rise up against the odds set against them. Humans are crazy, we jump out of planes and climb sheer cliff faces. We eat peppers so hot that tears stream down our faces, we looked at an old wild enemy and charmed them with love into man’s best companion, we perform modern miracles in science and medicine every day, every day the things we know and understand as a collective grow and grow.

I have had experiences in my life that brought me to lows so dark and hopeless that to this day it feels strange that I survived at all. I always felt like an “alien,” always longing for a home I couldn’t find or a sense of belonging with people I had never met. There are so many of us in the world today feeling isolated because no one wants to be ostracized by saying something weird or uncomfortable. Keep the status quo. There are even people walking around today already with the cruel label of “alien”- and they are LITERALLY our fellow humans!!!

When I read posts like this, I always think, “well yeah but what are you or anyone going to do about it?” For this situation, I decided it was important enough for me to sit down, take a hard look at my current life, take stock of my true passions and strengths/skills, and DO something about it before I added one more wishful thought without action to the community.

This is what I am doing: I own a significant amount of secluded land spread out across two connected southern states. It was all raw land, but I have been slowly getting it ready for a few years, bit by bit. I have come to understand something about frequencies that leads me to believe that when the time is right, there will be like-minded people who need to find their way to safe houses and small self-sufficient communities.

I am not the only person doing this. Already over the course of this project I have connected with two other families, normal people looking to build an “ark” set apart from the chaos. Naturally, we are staying quiet and biding our time. I only bring it up now because I see that we need hope. Maybe the elite are building underground cities, and your neighbor is guarding his backyard bunker with guns, and you cannot access your phone to call your family from across the city if the grid goes down. But there are people out there who are not only planning for the safety of their immediate family, but consciously making room for the sick, the traumatized, the displaced. Not everyone is whipped into a frenzy, and not everyone is scared.

If our life today were a book, there would be a band of rebels fiercely fighting for what is right against all odds. They keep the earth pure. They raise their children with love and certainty, meeting them where they already are in their own way and striving for patience and careful guidance in a world that seems to be increasingly diagnosing behavior issues. These people see the beauty in a quiet, simple life. The 15 minute cities and 3 hour daily office commutes feel like literal torture. They love animals, and dancing, and good fresh food, and family, laughing, and telling stories.

I cannot shake the feeling that we have something they don’t have. Something that gives us an advantage over NEEDING to feel like we must blindly accept help from either the “aliens” or the government. Everyone is living in such deep survival mode that our ability to stop and process information before being hurried along to the next mass global panic has been stripped away.

Maybe the visitors are coming with radiant hearts filled with unconditional love and the overwhelming desire to save a lesser species from themselves. I am sure not going to risk whatever consequences may come to my family by making an assessment out of blind fear or the misguided opinions of a frantic global population; one that has been systematically lied to BLATANTLY for decades. If you can turn on the tv and tell me that you truly believe the government has our best interests at heart, this message is (kindly) not for you. There is a lot of bad in this world. But I promise you there are still good guys operating behind the scenes.

For us, this doesn’t feel like uncertainty. It feels like a runner’s muscles coiled to spring before the gun cracks and the race is off. It’s the quiet tss-tss-tss of a single cymbal before the rock band roars to life onstage. The clink of a rollercoaster car as it reaches the summit and pauses over the drop. The split second a pendulum seems to hang in midair at the height of its swing. The entire world holding its breath for the good guys to take their positions.

I, for the first time in my life, have unwavering trust that this is the time the underdogs win. We are at the very end of a huge cycle, and some of us are sick and tired of our friends being fucked with. I am going to do something about it. If you have skills or useful hobbies or just bring a smile to those around you and help in the ways you are able, you are welcome to join us. I don’t know exactly what we will be facing, but we will be ready for whatever comes.
