Disclosure will achieve absolutely nothing, unless you’re willing to be brave
Disclosure can be summarised as the moment in time when a government or governments formally acknowledge there’s irrefutable evidence that we are not alone. Alternatively, this news could be broken through academia - probably in the form of a press conference to coincide with the release of a peer-reviewed scientific paper. The Galileo Project, for example, is attempting to obtain clear photographic evidence of UAP, with the possibility that at least one anomalous object might be a craft or probe from elsewhere.
We have no doubt whatsoever that disclosure will happen - that, one day, there’ll be official confirmation that other civilisations exist in the universe.
The anticipation of disclosure is commonly and frequently hyped up by many within “ufology”. Conspiracy theorists claim that “the government” already knows that some UAP or UFOs are extraterrestrial in origin, and that it’s just a matter of when they’ll tell the public. There are always “those in the know” who insist that disclosure is imminent, or just around the corner.
It’s possible, of course, that the US government does know more than they’re admitting to. However, it’s more likely that they’re as much in the dark as everyone else. Government departments are hardly the pinnacle of effectiveness and efficiency, burdened with layer after layer of bureaucracy - as we explained in our film about the Roswell incident.
Anyway, let’s work on the assumption that disclosure has just happened - and the news headlines all read: “WE ARE NOT ALONE!” What comes next?
One thing is certain. The mainstream media and commentariat will become “experts” within the first 48 hours. They’ll seamlessly shift from their current position of mass indifference, as they initially talk about little else.
Another thing is guaranteed. Those within “ufology” will preen and strut their stuff as they say “Told you so!” But they’ll have nothing useful to add to the discussion. Some will immediately start spouting new conspiracy drivel, without any credible evidence to back this up.
A third point is assured. The vast majority of people will merely shrug their shoulders and carry on as before. Any visitors from elsewhere will not be hostile, so there’ll be no fear or threat linked with the official announcement.
As the dust starts to settle, one important question will quickly be raised: “Why are they not landing on the White House lawn or College Green next to the Houses of Parliament in London?” If they’re here, watching us, why are they not saying “Hello”? Although some will argue it’s the calm before the storm of invasion - that they’re “intelligence gathering” - a lack of evidence for any hostile intent will point elsewhere. The more sensible answer to explain why the visitors are maintaining a healthy distance from us will become increasingly obvious once we focus our attention: we‘re still a semi-primitive, emerging intelligent species. Our dysfunctional, contradictory, and hypocritical behaviour makes us inherently untrustworthy. Our immature psychology means that we’re not yet ready for any meaningful contact.
The current human mindset is based on us being the most intelligent species on planet Earth. We’re the top dog. And we have the technology to prove it, such as smartphones. Arrogance is commonplace - even if this is displacement to avoid facing some underlying insecurity. Suddenly knowing that there’s a more advanced intelligent species, probably much further along the evolutionary path than us, will be challenging in the extreme.
Many will rely on another basic avoidance tactic: they’ll just minimise what should be a profound shock or wake-up call. Excuses and/or attempts at blame will “support” this playing down of reality. But some won’t shut off. A small percentage of people will face facts, undaunted by certain knowledge of a higher intelligence.
The visitors - whom we’ve previously referred to as the AMIGOs - will have come across backward civilisations like ours on other planets before. They’ll know exactly what to do and not do. It’ll be a matter of “watch and wait”.
So the initiative of what to do next, after disclosure, will be up to us. Yes, it will become apparent to anyone with a good level of emotional intelligence that we need to change - to begin the process of shifting from immaturity to the beginning of a more mature psychology or way of behaving. But this aim or concept isn’t new. Millions of sincere individuals have been wrestling with how to bring about fundamental change for at least the past three and a half thousand years. This has taken several forms - including religious, spiritual, philosophical, poetic, and political endeavours. However, despite good intentions, there’s been a long history of failure. The same old “me, first” mentality still persists, continuing to mess everything up. This is often justified as “human nature”, as if it’s set in stone, whereas it’s actually a matter of needing to unlearn learned poor behaviour.
Self-transcendence is obviously the way forwards. The most pressing and practical question boils down to exactly how this can be achieved. Rare glimpses of our evolutionary potential occur as oneness experiences, but these usually lead nowhere. The bottom line is that those attempting to gain a significant shift in perspective are going round in circles, often with the blind leading the blind. We’ve previously outlined this sad state of affairs here.
Two considerable obstacles stand in the way of progress. First, historically, there has been a lack of exact know-how. This is double-edged. There must be precise knowledge of how to become capable. At the same time, there must also be a clear understanding of what will inevitably frustrate any and all attempts to change - namely, the avoidance syndrome. Second, there must be a clear demonstration of achievability. In other words, self-transcendence has to be seen as a realistic goal, instead of just an ideal. This necessitates role models, free from the usual bullshit, trailblazing the way forwards.
The “spirit of an adventurer” is one of 16 key factors that we’ve identified as crucial for excellence. This can be alternatively expressed as the need for bravery or courage. However, cowardice is the present ubiquitous normality. You might not realise this, but that’s what psychological avoidance amounts to: a fear of fully facing reality and acting accordingly. And this spirit of an adventurer then has to be linked with the other key factors, together with the weakening and eradication of psychological avoidance - no small task. Ultimately, for humanity to progress, billions of individuals must choose to do this. Sadly, self-imposed limitations characterise the current state of human evolution. We are a long way from developing our full potential. And yet this is what we must do to grow up.
So, after disclosure, there’s no getting away from the fact that we need to mature. This will require exactness and one hell of a lot of work to achieve. Initially, the vast majority won’t want to get real, face their psychological baggage, systematically undo it, and learn. It’s “easier” to stay the same as before, continuing to self-indulge in conspiracy theories or the numerous other ways to let yourself off the hook.
Will the AMIGOs be getting their knickers in a twist over the matter of disclosure? Or will they, instead, be quietly willing us on to take the next step forward in human evolution?
