Recently, I had an opportunity for a deep conversation with my personal development coach about the fear of the unknown – particularly about how extraterrestrial beings might look. What I heard completely changed my perspective. The coach asked me directly: “Why do you assume that a different appearance means danger? Do you judge people based on their skin color or height?” I realized then that we often judge others superficially – by appearance or stereotypes – instead of looking with our hearts at who they truly are.
This conversation opened my eyes to something fundamental: an extraterrestrial being doesn’t have to be “terrifying,” much less dangerous! As channelers and people experiencing conscious contacts write, extraterrestrial beings are not monsters, angels, or wizards – they are entities and often “flesh and blood, just like us.” Biological differences are natural and unconscious – even “green skin color” can happen, because there exists an enormous palette (including cosmic) of shades.
A Lesson in Diversity from Our Own Planet
Before we begin to fear “alien” forms of life, it’s worth considering how humanity deals with diversity within its own species. History shows that first contacts between distant earthly civilizations – despite cultural, linguistic, and technological differences – often led to knowledge exchange, trade, and mutual enrichment. Even when we encounter completely different value systems or ways of social organization, people can find common ground: the need for security, cognitive curiosity, and the drive for development.
Intelligence itself may be a universal bridge of understanding – any civilization capable of interstellar travel must have developed mathematics, physics, and the ability to cooperate on a scale that enables such advanced endeavors. This suggests a certain level of rationality and perhaps understanding of the benefits of peaceful coexistence. Fear of the unknown is natural, but history teaches us that contact with “others” more often opens new possibilities than closes them.
Diversity as the Foundation of the Universe
In the case of beings endowed with recognizable intelligence and the ability to communicate, we should indeed try to judge them by their intentions and character, not by their appearance. However, this is easier said than done – how do we recognize the true intentions of a being operating according to completely different cultural codes and ways of expressing emotions? Even between people from different cultures, dramatic misunderstandings often occur. Good will alone is not enough – history shows that “the road to hell is paved with good intentions.” Therefore, developing tools for authentic communication and verification of intentions becomes crucial.
After all, we ourselves are not identical either – each of us has a different skin color, height, or facial features, yet we are fellow inhabitants of Earth. One can suppose that from this perspective we are all connected: “We are one with you. We love you…” These words from the Ra material speak directly that higher beings love us and wish us well.
Diversity is the foundation of creation. Many authors remind us that the Universe has abounded in infinite variety of forms from the beginning. As Alexander Klizowski says: “The One Mind from the Original Unity created infinite diversity and multiplicity.” We should therefore not be surprised by beings of unusual shapes or colors – it’s simply another expression of this cosmic multicoloration. And this speaks to me.
From the perspective of various transmissions, we are dealing with creatures who – although they may differ from us physically – have traveled a similar path of consciousness development and spiritual growth. This common path of soul evolution can constitute a bridge of understanding stronger than differences in appearance or technology. It’s worth remembering this instead of defensively or fearfully approaching first contact from the outset.
Wisdom of Earth Cultures About Accepting Otherness
Various earth cultures have developed wisdom over centuries regarding the perception of otherness. Native Americans spoke about how every creature has its spirit and should be respected regardless of appearance. In Hinduism, there is a belief that divinity manifests in countless forms — from the elephant Ganesha to the many arms of Kali. Buddhism teaches us to look beyond forms to the essence of things.
These traditions show that fear of otherness often stems from the limitations of our thinking, though it must be honestly admitted that it also has deep evolutionary roots. Caution toward the unknown is a natural survival instinct that has protected our species from real threats for millennia – after all, in nature there are genuine dangers between different forms of life. The problem is that these ancient defense mechanisms are not always adequate to contemporary situations, where “otherness” doesn’t necessarily mean threat.
Every culture that has survived centuries has learned to somehow balance natural caution with openness to diversity, finding in it a source of enrichment rather than just potential threat. The key is distinguishing between justified caution and paralyzing fear, between reasonable risk assessment and categorical rejection of everything unknown.
Practical Guide to How I Look with My Heart
How to develop the ability to sense energy and intentions instead of focusing on appearance? Here are a few simple exercises:
Heart Meditation: Every day for 10 minutes, focus on your heart chakra. Breathe deeply and imagine that with each breath you fill your heart with warmth and love. Over time, you’ll naturally begin to “feel” the energies of others.
Exercise with Photographs: Look through photos of different people from around the world. Instead of looking at differences in appearance, try to “feel” each person. What do you see in their eyes? What energy do they convey?
Contact with Nature: Spend time with various animals – from dogs and cats to birds or insects. Observe that despite differences in appearance, each has its unique energy and way of communicating.
Telepathic Greetings: When you pass strangers on the street, send them warm greetings in your thoughts. This exercises the ability to connect on an energetic level, not a visual one.
Recognizing Intentions – Natural Protection
We don’t need to fear potentially less friendly civilizations. Many ufological sources assume that such beings will not seek dialogue with us on open terms – their energy is too distant from ours for them to stand in a Stellar Embassy. Besides, we’re not attractive enough for such races to devote time to us – they have “better places to visit,” after all.
In contrast, friendly intelligences desire contact not only as an end in itself, but as an exchange of perspective and energy of love. Their methods can be unpredictable – they may speak telepathically, visualize images, or change the environment energetically. It’s important that we be positively oriented and observe with a great deal of curiosity. The guiding motif of these contacts should be selfless love and sympathy, not fear.
Earth as a Cosmic Library
It’s worth remembering the broader perspective of our place in the universe. As Alex Collier noted, sharing experiences he believes he had with inhabitants of the Andromeda Constellation, they conveyed to him that: “Earth was populated by countless forms of life to become a ‘kind of library of the universe’.” In other words, different shapes and colors of beings are like letters and words in a cosmic book – they testify to richness, not to barriers.
This perspective changes everything. If we are part of a cosmic library, then meeting other forms of life is like discovering new chapters of the same great story. Every being – regardless of how it looks – carries with it unique knowledge and experience.
Conclusions: Beauty in Diversity
Let’s remember that our world is composed of diversity – and this diversity makes sense. So if next time you encounter a being with an unusual appearance (whether in meditation, dreams, or actual contact), try to think about what it might have to convey, instead of focusing solely on its appearance.
Of course, this doesn’t mean naively abandoning all caution – reasonable assessment of the situation and potential intentions remains important. However, it’s worth trying to balance natural alertness with openness to the possibility that contact might bring valuable experiences or knowledge. After all, history shows that some of humanity’s most valuable discoveries arose precisely from courageously stepping beyond the boundaries of the known and comfortable.
Most importantly, look deeper. Extraterrestrial forms of life are not a barrier, but a universal language – the language of energy, intentions, and feelings. Whatever we see or feel, it’s worth remembering that diversity of forms is the beauty of the Universe, not a reason for fear. As Carl Sagan taught us: humans are made of star dust, which makes us sisters and brothers of all created beings – on Earth and beyond it.
