Alien Intel: Where We Are Disadvantaged and What To Do About It

“Competition can engender creativity, responsibility, resourcefulness and self-determination. (Chapter 15: Responding to the Greater Community)

“When you do not compete with others, you tend to rest upon your own abilities and make great assumptions about them. You seek comfort, complacency and confirmation. These things are not appropriate in an environment where competition is active.” (Chapter 14: Intelligence)

“Human beings need to learn to think, to deliberate, to concentrate and to focus on one thing at a time. It is not expected that you would have the incentive to do this unless you were in a competitive environment and a competitive situation. You are in a competitive situation.” Chapter 14: Intelligence

The New Message from God tells us our race has reached a most critical point in development, the emergence into what it calls the Greater Community, the extensive network of intelligent life in the universe. 

“The world is emerging into a Greater Community.”  (Chapter 28: Greater Community Realities)

The Greater Community – our region in space – is inhabited by intelligent life, and that life is organized in a network that is surprisingly competitive, the New Message tells us. Our position, in relationship to this vast network of trade, is comparable to the native peoples of any land encountered by explorers: we are underprepared, to say the least. For this reason the New Message was sent through divine agency. It provides the preparation. 

The selections below, all from Wisdom from the Greater Community Volume Two (received in public by Marshall Vian Summers in 1992-1993), all on the subject of competition,  reveal what is happening, why it is happening now and what response is needed.  They tell the story of this secluded race waking up to a dauntingly sophisticated, brave new universe. 

Notice that the New Message from God does not go into a lot of detail about specific names, places or other specifics that it considers non-essential. We are given a small amount of orientation through historical reference to past alien visitations and interests in order to address the question:

Why is the alien intervention on Earth occurring now?

• “Your world is developing into a global community
• “You have discovered certain kinds of powers and technology that make you a force to be recognized and reckoned with by other cultures living in your proximity beyond this solar system.
• “As a primitive race. you offered no threat or competition to your neighbors, and though your world was used as a depository for certain secret devices by various groups and frequently visited in order to gather plant and animal specimens for other worlds, it was not considered a meaningful location until very recently.
• “A turning point came at the beginning of this century with the development of electricity and took another great step forward with the development of atomic power. These represent important milestones in the development of a civilization and, commensurate with this, stimulated greater interest from the Greater Community in the development of your world.” (Chapter 28: Greater Community Realities)

Two more critical factors named by the New Message from God in the timing of the alien Intervention on Earth are:

• the wasting of the Earth’s resources
• worldwide communications networks 

​”Competing races are here both to safeguard themselves against the destruction of your environment, which they consider to be too valuable to destroy, and to engage in possible resource development and future alliances with humanity should you ever be able to form a world community.

• Until this community is formed, alliance with the world would not be practical. No foreign power wants to become involved in the intertribal warfare of a domestic race. There is no advantage to this.
• There is a general consensus, given the priorities of advancing races in the Greater Community, that your environment must be preserved even if your race destroys itself. You see, in the Greater Community, environment is considered more important than racial survival. Here you have a natural world with millions of species of plants and animals, a magnificent creation, the result of millions of years of development, all now at risk because of one selfish race that is spoiling the world out of ignorance and greed.”  (Chapter 28: Greater Community Realities)

In a few strokes, the New Message from God spells out the basic motivations or justifications for the presence the Intervention in our world at this time. What about the timing from our perspective? Are we ready for Contact? The New Message from God says no.

“Humanity is not yet competitive in the Greater Community. It is not that unified, developed or focused. This must not be seen as a repudiation of humanity’s potential, talents or achievements. It is simply that in a larger environment you cannot yet compete with other forms of intelligent life. Yet, they are entering your world, and you are faced with the prospect of having to encounter these intelligences in situations where you will recognize your limitations. These situations can be very frightening, but they call upon you to rise above your sense of vulnerability and helplessness and cultivate yourself in ways that call forth the greater possibilities that you now have.”(Chapter 14: Intelligence)

“You will be competing in intelligence with those who are now visiting your world. It is not just their technology that is superior; it is their understanding of the mental environment and their ability to manipulate it for their own ends. Here you are at a great disadvantage, for you have not cultivated your mental abilities and are not aware of how your mind can be controlled by other minds that are more concentrated, less diffused and less conflicted than your own.” Chapter 14: Intelligence

“To successfully encounter other intelligent life and even to move towards competing with it in a favorable manner, you must develop your mental abilities.” (Chapter 14: Intelligence)

The importance of this information cannot be overstated and ought not be underestimated. The originality of this insight, and its usefulness, can only be realized after long consideration. This information is actionable: if understood, it grants a clear window into the strengths and strategies of alien races who seek profit at our expense. 

“A strong mind will always influence a weaker mind. A strong mind can to a certain degree control a weaker mind. This happens even if the stronger person is not trying to cast an influence or persuade anyone to do anything. The fact that his or her mind is more concentrated and less conflicted, with greater intention and self-determination, will have an impact upon other minds that are less focused and less concentrated.” (Chapter 15: Responding to the Greater Community)

“With such a great disadvantage regarding competition for intelligence, you must accept this recognition with great seriousness. Since you are not used to being in a competitive situation regarding intelligence, you are ill prepared for this and will want to fall back on your old accomplishments and assumptions, for they have been adequate in many respects to carry you this far. In the future, they will prove to be very inadequate.” (Chapter 14: Intelligence)

The balance is not completely tipped against us. We have been given a perfect preparation for these times. As many as can apply it, those individuals gain understanding of the mental environment. This giant leap before us, if the New Message from God is taken seriously, can be galvanizing.

“This is a very great and perhaps sobering fact of engaging with life in the Greater Community. All of a sudden competition becomes very real. It is not merely competition amongst yourselves, for the differences between you are not great enough to stimulate a truly competitive environment. Interacting with other intelligent life—intelligent life that has a very different orientation and a very different set of assumptions about the universe, intelligent life that is seeking you out for purposes that are unknown to you — you are suddenly thrust into a situation where you must rise to meet many different kinds of occasions, occasions for which you have no preparation and no understanding. The Greater Community Way of Knowledge provides a way to meet this great need. Many people need this preparation, though perhaps few will undertake it at this time.” (Chapter 14: Intelligence)

“You are competing for control of your world; you are competing for control of your own life; you are competing for who in the future will dominate the world. Does this sound too grave? Does this sound too foreboding or too ominous to consider? Perhaps at first it might seem like this, but if you think about it carefully and are willing to consider it further, you will see that this is the kind of involvement that humanity needs in order to generate harmony within the human family and to create a greater focus and incentive for learning.” (Chapter 15: Responding to the Greater Community)

The New Message from God is telling us that this moment in human history, when “All of a sudden competition becomes very real,” is our moment to shine or else fall under the shadow of better-trained, group minds.

“When people begin to compete with each other, they realize in time that they must have an increased level of concentration and focus and very specific forms of preparation, which are determined by what they are attempting to undertake. Clearly, in all cases they must become stronger, more focused and wiser in their decisions.” (Chapter 15: Responding to the Greater Community)

“Human beings have never had to compete with other intelligent life. Human beings compete with each other, often destructively, but not with a totally different form of intelligent life. To learn to do this will make you strong and discerning and will expand greatly the boundaries of your awareness and your capability.   

“If your motive is conquest and domination, then you will fail in the Greater Community because those whom you choose to be your adversaries are far more advanced than you in both their awareness and their capabilities. Their mental and physical abilities will exceed yours. Your possibility for success rests in Knowledge. … the only real advantage you have in terms of competition in the mental environment.” (Chapter 28: Greater Community Realities)

The fact that humans presume an alien Intervention would entail military conquest is a demonstration of the limits of our experience and understanding.

“In the Greater Community, much of the competition is for intelligence. Intelligence is developed both within the context of an individual’s life and over the span of generations in his or her particular race by solving problems—little ones and in some cases, the big one itself.” Chapter 8: Solving Problems

“Due to a lack of competition with other intelligent life, intelligence has not been developed sufficiently [in the human community], especially when one considers the capabilities that humans really have and how these can be used for good and for greater accomplishment.” (Chapter 14: Intelligence)

“Intelligence is also sought after by the Wise, for with intelligence there can be education. With education there can be advancement, and with advancement there can be new understanding and new behavior. We are here, then, to promote this. The gravity of the circumstances and situations that I have alluded to only serves to point to the necessity that this information be taken seriously and that true preparation be undertaken by those who are prepared to do it.”  (Chapter 10: Greater Community Visitations)

“If your motives are honest, pure and wholesome, then there is the possibility of achieving Wisdom for this race, or at least for many in this race.”  (Chapter 28: Greater Community Realities)

Just a few years before these insights were given, the preparation was sent.

“Question yourself—what do you value? Ask yourself, “What do I value? What am I looking for?” It is easy to want things. You can give yourself permission to want anything, but what do you really value? In this, you only have two real choices: You either value the truth and what the truth yields or you value the things that compete with the truth.” (Chapter 6: Discernment)

• What must I not listen to within myself?
