While news continues of attempted coup d’etats, ‘natural’ disasters, murders, suicides, mass protests… a curious piece of news arrives, despite being unperceived by many. *“The UN appoints Mazlan Othman as the Ambassador to Extraterrestrials… the Malaysian Astrophysicist will be charged with receiving aliens and conducting relations between visitors from space and the people of Earth.”* Days later Othman’s office denied the story.

The same day we see and hear another piece of news, *“A new planet similar to Earth discovered; planet GL581C, with conditions similar to ours”.* Rapidly we hear voices interested in the possibility of humans living on this planet.

Beyond the precision of certain information, the question to ponder is, **“If we are facing the possibility of contact with other beings and living on other worlds, how will mankind position itself?”** As conqueror and therefore with great fears of also being invaded, as a result? Or rather from the possibility of establishing relations – if such ‘extraterrestrial’ contact were to happen – of equals, of collaboration, of reciprocal and beneficial relationships for one and all? It sounds like science-fiction. But I propose that we meditate a bit longer.

Two paths open up today for mankind: a path that is known – but not a less suffering one for that – of physical, economic, racial, religious and moral violence; a path that were it projected to other worlds, to possible relations with other beings, would be nothing more than a path of conquest or of fear, in which we imagine ourselves as invaders or invaded. Always the regard from a violent culture that in the direction it’s going will end up devouring itself.

But also in front of us opens a new and brilliant future, barely before dreamed of; the possibility opens to break with solipsism and go to meet other worlds, other consciouses that allow us to weave new demonstrations of this Evolutionary Consciousness that moves everything.

For this it will be necessary for mankind to pass this stage of differentiation marked by violence and division between cultures, religions and peoples and that has led humanity to suffering and self-destructive individualism and move to a stage of complementation, supporting ourselves on what unites us; supporting ourselves on the common experiences of all of us, that is registered in the depths of every consciousness and that makes us happy and free.

Today a new spirituality is being born that has as its basis an inner and profound experience that every human being can register: a new spirituality open to believers and non-believers and that arises as a response to a call from the most profound need of millions of human beings. From this search that is increasingly wide and complementary, today it is possible to lay the basis for what could be synthesised as a new culture, a common project: the yearned for Universal Human Nation.

And from this new condition, with the “network of shadows” broken and the prehistoric culture of suffering and pain overcome, with a fraternal mankind, we can launch ourselves like shooting stars to the constructive meeting with other consciouses and other worlds.

Never before, was more meaning to be found in the phrase from The Path: *“Do not imagine that you are alone in your village, in your city, on the Earth, or among the infinite worlds. Do not imagine that you are enchained to this time and this space.”* (www.silo.net).
