Imagine If We Were Being Closely Observed By A More Intelligent Race Of Beings – By Jason Liosatos

A balanced, rational, intelligent being from space could only surmise that as a species we had gone clinically insane.

Edgar Mitchell an astronaut talked about when he stood on the moon and looked at earth, and had a huge awakening. He said it hit him all at once that everything that had ever happened in our history happened on that little blue disc about the size of a 50 cent coin, all the wars, famines, and struggle. When he returned to earth he left NASA and began helping people find peace and transformation.

Imagine for a moment that a more developed species of beings were watching us from another planet for the first time that had no conception of work, money, bills, being in debt, having to have money to pay for everything you need.

They would see the sun lighting up each city around the world, city by city as the sun’s light moved across the earth. As they watched each city come to life at around 6 or 7 o’clock they would see people on buses, in cars and traffic jams, people running, pushing and shoving all getting somewhere, and very few people looking happy, very few smiles, and a general feeling of panic and dread.

Imagine these balanced, developed, intelligent beings watching as people frantically scrambled, pushing and shoving to get to these different places before 8 or 9 o’ clock, as if their lives depended on it, which of course in this system they do.

As they watched each city around the world waking up to this same pattern of behaviour, of an insane, ruthless scramble, they would wonder what we were doing, where we were going and why. Suppose they stopped one of the rushing people on their way to work and asked them where they were going, the conversation might go like this:

Where are you all rushing to? Out of my way I haven’t got time!

No please I am from another planet I need to know what all this madness means?

We are all going to work.

What’s work? It’s what everyone does, we have to do it.

Why? Because we have to make money.

What’s money? It’s what you need to survive.

What is it though? It’s paper sheets cut into squares, with numbers printed on them, the bigger the number the more its worth. The more you’ve got, the more you can get, the better your life is.

What do you do with it?

The people you work for give it to you, in exchange for your life, we buy food, pay bills and pay to live in a house with it.

You have to pay for all that? Yes

Who prints the money?

The government.

Why don’t you print your own money?

It’s illegal you would be taken to prison.

What’s prison?

It’s where the government puts you if you break the law. In a cell.

What is the government?

It’s the people who make laws and tell us what to do.

Why don’t you make your own rules?

It is illegal and we don’t know how to anymore they always do that.

Do you enjoy your jobs? Most people no.

Then why do you do them? Because we have to or we can’t get money.

You don’t really have to you could say no?

Yes but if I say no I will have no food, can’t feed my children and have nowhere to live and probably die.

Why don’t you grow your own food?

I don’t know how, I don’t know where, and I haven’t got time I am in work all the time.

This sounds like slavery?

Yes I suppose it is.

I met a woman recently, and was amazed at a story she told me. One day when she was driving to work when someone jumped into the back of her car and said ‘get out I’m taking your car’ with a gun pressed to her head’.

She spontaneously said ‘I can’t I am late for work’!

That sums things up really, I laughed as she told me, and it is a tragicomic story which puts our predicament into perspective.

Life on this planet has become insane, a mental asylum of epic proportion that we have got used to, and so the bar of insanity continues to be raised. – Jason Liosatos. www.jasonliosatos.com
