0-1 Prologue 1

 

Dear Homo Sapiens of Earth

whose footprints now roam the craters of the Moon,

 

     Beware. 

     Beware of the Seven Cosmic Signs. 

     The critical moment of your planet is here, now. 

     I call them the Seven Critical Symptoms if and when I’m actually on those planets exhibiting all seven of these cosmic signs.  So, Homo Sapiens of Earth, on whose planet I now find myself, and which does show all of these seven cosmic signs, beware of the Seven Critical Symptoms of your planet. 

     These symptoms are all observable from the Moon, including of course those footprints of yours.  For any extraterrestrials observing the Earth for eons, now is the time for them to see these signs and symptoms simultaneously arise.  They indeed have recently all arisen.

     The First Critical Symptom:  For millions of years, Earth’s night side has been invisibly dark, but now, suddenly, there is light, neon light.

     The Second Critical Symptom:  For millions of years, Earth’s surface has been lush and green, but now, suddenly, there is deforestation and desertification.

     The Third Critical Symptom:  For millions of years, Earth’s atmosphere has been clean and its hydrosphere clear, but now, suddenly, there is pollution.

     The Fourth Critical Symptom:  Never in it’s 4.6-billion-year history has Earth generated a single thermal nuclear reaction, but now, suddenly, she is in danger of generating too many too soon. 

     The Fifth Critical Symptom:  For millions of years, the ozone layer has shielded the Biosphere from harmful solar UV radiation, but now, suddenly, it is full of holes.

     The Sixth Critical Symptom:  Earth was born of gravity, and by its own gravity its body parts have always been bound, but now, pieces of Earth are seen to suddenly fly away, some never to return, and the foot prints of Earthlings appear suddenly on the Moon+

     The Seventh Critical Symptom:  For millions of years, as a radio source the Earth has been silent, but now, suddenly, it is inundating it’s inter-planetary and interstellar neighbourhood with its news, movies, documentaries, commentaries, soap operas, sitcoms, commercials… and televangelical sermons, which still preaches that you are the be all and end all of “Creation”.

 

     Among Earth’s spacecraft are the Apollos, from whose #8 was broadcast a prayer as follows:  “Give us, o God, the vision which can see thy love in the world in spite of human failure.  Give us the faith, the trust, the goodness in spite of our ignorance and weakness.  Give us the knowledge that we may continue to pray with understanding hearts, and show us what each of us can do to set forth the coming of the day of universal peace.  Amen.”

     And the Pioneers 10 & 11, each carrying an identity plaque showing the position of Earth and the image of Homo Sapiens (which some humans call “the image of God”.)

     And the Voyagers 1 & 2, each bearing an audio-visual recording of Earth sights and sounds, the latter including earthquake and thunder, bird and whale songs, human music and speech, the last being excerpted as follows:

     From the President of the United States of America:  “This is a present from a small distant world, a token of our sounds, our science, our image, our music, our thoughts and our feelings.  We are attempting to survive our time so we can live into yours.  We hope some day, having solved the problems we face, to join a community of galactic civilizations.  This record represents our hope and our determination, and our good will in a vast and awesome Universe.”

     From the citizens of Earth:  “We send all beings of the Universe an affectionate greeting of peace and happiness.  May the future grant us the opportunity of meeting.” (in Spanish) / “Greetings from our friends amongst the stars.  If you can cross the barrier between Earth and sky then do it.  It is our desire to meet you.” (in Arabic) / “Welcome to our world.” (in Polish) /  “How are you?  We are thinking about you.  Come visit us some time.” (in Chinese) / “We used to believe that the Universe was created for us humans on Earth alone, but we can no longer maintain this belief.  We now think that you may exist to share this Universe with us, and have the power to help solve the many problems here in our world.” (in Efic) / “Please contact.” (in Gujurati)

     From the Secretary General of the United Nations:  “As the Secretary General of the United Nations, an organization of 147 member states who represent almost all of the human individuals of the planet Earth, I send greetings on behalf of the people of our planet.  We step out of the Solar System seeking only peace and friendship, to teach if we are called upon, to be taught if we are fortunate.  We know full well that our planet and all its inhabitants are but a small part of the immense Universe, and it is with humility and hope that we take this step.”

 

     In short, three words: “Greeting”, “Welcome” and “Help!”  And I, for one, hear them with joy and compassion.  For the first, I salute you; for the second, I come to you, and for the third, I devote my best to you.

 

I am Raminothna

the Fortunate and the Called Upon

at your service.
