It is widely recognized that our world faces several significant threats, with the potential for nuclear conflict being among the most critical. The impact of even a regional nuclear conflict would not be confined to the immediate area; it would have widespread regional and global repercussions. Radioactive fallout, carried by atmospheric currents, would affect neighboring nations and other continents. This could precipitate worldwide health, environmental, agricultural, and diplomatic crises, potentially leading to the extinction of life on Earth.
Let’s reflect on Ronald Reagan’s words during his speech at the 42nd Session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York on September 21, 1987: “Perhaps we need some outside, universal threat to make us recognize this common bond. I occasionally think about how quickly our differences worldwide would vanish if we were facing an alien threat from outside this world.” As we face a moment of significant peril, with the Doomsday Clock ominously set at 90 seconds to midnight, it’s clear that our greatest threat does not come from beyond our world, but from within. We don’t need to invent external threats; our own conflicts and follies pose enough of a risk. Contact with extraterrestrials could unify or further divide us, depending on whether they are viewed as a shared threat. Ultimately, we often project our own violence and stupidity onto space and the very idea of extraterrestrial species.
It’s likely true that facing a universal threat would highlight the common bond among all nations. However, isn’t it possible that this same unity could be achieved through a collective planetary endeavor that represents an extraordinary opportunity rather than a threat? We believe that building an Embassy to formally welcome an extraterrestrial civilization to Earth could be the joint project that humanity needs, one that could profoundly transform our global society. We posit that acknowledging the existence of extraterrestrial civilizations would foster global unity by shifting our focus towards a wider and more optimistic perspective. While achieving global unity is undoubtedly challenging, given the myriad geopolitical, economic, and social issues at play, does that really seem insurmountable? We recognize the complexity of this process; yet, imagine the rapid advancements and benefits if every nation could progressively access technology from beings whose scientific and philosophical advancements are thousands of years ahead of ours. Isn’t it worth the effort to strive for such unity?
Several years ago, the Alliance for Extraterrestrial Diplomatic Contact (AEDC) was established and registered in Canada as a non-profit organization. It serves as an international coalition of diplomats, politicians, government officials, experts in extraterrestrial affairs, and other interested individuals, united by the goal of welcoming extraterrestrial civilizations to set up diplomatic missions on Earth. Both the AEDC and its affiliates believe that the first critical step in building this Embassy is to develop an international diplomatic framework for such contacts, ideally based on the principles of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations (1961). With 28 organizations and nearly 2 million members, the AEDC could effectively gather all relevant parties. Alternatively, nations might consider forming a new entity or aligning with an existing one dedicated to fostering a peaceful and weaponless future.
When we as human beings recognize our unity—that the divisions imposed by governments and those in control are designed to better dominate us through fear of differences in religion, skin color, or resources—when we realize that cooperation, not competition, among nations and individuals is the only way to overcome our global challenges, we will be on the cusp of a remarkable era of peace and abundance for all. Adding to this, the return of the Elohim, an extraterrestrial civilization with technology far surpassing our own, provides all the necessary elements to prevent the annihilation of life on Earth and to create a paradise for everyone.
Echoing Albert Einstein’s words, “Imagination is everything.” Let’s envision a world unified by a shared commitment to collaborate among nations and with beings from another planet. Do you find this idea far-fetched? Perhaps it’s a matter of needing more imagination and a broader vision for our future…
