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.
the Fortunate and the Called Upon
at your service.
