The following is a fictional essay. What if an alien were to make contact with planet earth? What would they say? And what if the message didn't stroke our egos. Would we listen?


Hello.

I am an alien living on planet earth, and I have a message to convey. Some of us are living among you. But after observing you and seeing how you treat your own kind who are different, how can we possibly reveal ourselves. If this planet ever expects to make contact with alien beings from another world, you are going to have to advance your thinking and accept the diversity of your own kind first.

We are actually quite similar to you with one major difference. A lot of us aliens are using 10% of the brain just like you, except we are using a different 10%.

There are exceptions to every rule. As a result of this there are some humans living amongst you who are using a different 10% from everyone else. Some people even have the capability to use more than 10%. You people are so discriminating. You come up with clinical terms for people who possess extraordinary gifts. You oppress your most gifted people and oust them out of your society because they have a different personality that goes along with their intelligence, but all you ever see is their different personality.
You are a wasteful culture. You throw away the people who exhibit rare talent because they don't fit into your formula for normal. You have environmental groups that raise awareness for wasting earth's resources. But you fail miserably when it comes to recognizing the resources that is found in each of you. You frown on the idea of recognizing the individual attributes of your own kind. You have a defective system for functioning that has been in place for as long as any one of you can remember. You are all self centered people who are obsessed about trying to meet your own warped criteria for success.

Your most important natural resource is each other. If you learn how to integrate your differences in thinking together, then there will be no problem you cannot solve. But for now you wander around in circles repeating your mistakes thinking that some new technological advance will save you or by tightening your formula for what you consider to be the normal human. This approach can only result in failure. That approach has already been tried and failed by Hitler. The united states has adopted this thinking and will bear the responsibility of destroying itself if it continues in this path. The solution to all of your problems is right there all around you. It always has been. You think that you have mastered the idea of equality of the people. Now try the idea of being equally different from one anther and work together with complete freedom to contribute each of your own individual strengths. You will never progress in your thinking and your evolution until you learn to do this.


Your destruction will come when you start to engineer humans to possess only the strengths you think are valuable. This will result in the phasing out of the people who have the gifts which aren't being recognized as gifts. The gift of insight is very rare among you. You are having a lot of problems on your planet because you stifle rare talents you don't have an understanding of. If you continue function on this level, you will destroy yourselves and you will deserve it.


Let me propose this question for you to ponder. What would happen if you were to take an alien infant baby and adopt it into a human family on earth? Now this alien being's only crime would be to possess an instinctual intelligence which would vary greatly from the humans who were raising him. Humans are great adapters. But this alien would see all of the wasteful energy that people put into adapting. You waste all of your effort by putting it into presentation and appearances instead of just focusing on being good at whatever job you do. What keeps getting in your way is your competition of whoever makes the best impression. That's all you care about. You never listen to words alone. Now what you need to adapt to is not one way of thinking, but each your own way of thinking, and cooperate with each other and apply it together.
There is something that you have failed to notice and now the time has come for me to tell you. Aliens have been living amongst you all along. They exist on earth in human form as transplanted souls from another world. In the world where I come from, we don't have the mindset of normal supremacy like you people do on earth. A formula for being normal does not exist. It only exists on earth as a delusion that you have created.
