Maybe February and a few more months will pass. ETs won't show up. The world carries on with our usual behaviors. Possible.

Consider Courtney is right though. What if this time...the universe gets expanded? Disclosure actually happens. The ET ships are accepted by the mainstream?! We realize we are a lot more than what we thought we are?!

A lot of us take glee in this prospect. Maybe we feel it would give more meaning to our daily lives. It'd be exciting to talk about. It'd be thrilling to anticipate a wider universe.

But I've been thinking this is a very deep thing...disclosure. It changes everything. Our spiritual outlook. Our way of life. Everything.

It's not just some cool stuff to look at on Instagram, X, Bluesky, Facebook or whatever media and talk about for a while.

This changes our knowledge. It makes us realize we are eternal beings with memories that go back and experiences that go on...forever.

It forces us to confront our place in the universe again. With no beginning or end...how do we ascribe our identity? What do possessions mean? What does "self" mean? Now the bad guys, good guys and everyone in between are actually immortal. The idea of rewards and punishment take on a new context. Do we join in the fight over the scraps for our universe? Or do we ascribe to a higher ideal?

The search for meaning won't be resolved with disclosure. It will continue and will result in complications.

Richard Feynman said doubt is necessary for learning. I enjoy learning. If some things are cleared up with disclosure, there are going to be other things we still question. That will be ok and probably good. But it will be an adjustment.

I'm glad I had January to think about this and the ETs haven't shown up yet. It might have been a little selfish but I, like all of us, need to process changes if they occur.

February could different. Are you ready if things happen?

For those of us who've done real research we've known that humans have had aliens living alongside them in the old days. This is nothing special now if they claim it publicly. Also, "Disclosure" doesn't mean the US only. Other governments have already admitted to UFOs and aliens lol. The world doesn't revolve around the US and hopefully never will because that would mean one world government.

The US has the main space program though, I would think.

"With no beginning or end...how do we ascribe our identity?"

Many people are very much invested in creating an identity based on materialistic things like the body, money, and worldly power. But this is totally plausible, because the cultural programming is to achieve something before death. As if there is only one life, because from our point of view, it looks like that.

Even religions have become a worldly power. A matter of status, rather than spiritualistic development of the self. Many religions that are invested in the concept of an afterlife as a punishment or reward will crumble. You can't bribe people with heaven or threaten them with hell if they know it's not true. The life you are having now will become the focus, and while this is a good thing essentially, as that's how reality works, my guess is that many people will fall into a deep depression. So many are invested in religions and other illusions because they want to be distracted from a meaningless reality. Creating a meaning yourself is much harder than getting it delivered to your doorstep.

"What do possessions mean?"

There will be no change: Possessions mean worldly power, and there is nothing wrong with that in principle. The question is: What is the purpose you need things for? Do you want to own a house for the purpose of raising children? Do you want to own weapons so you can hunt people? Do you want to own people to enslave them?

"What does "self" mean?"

What do you want it to mean?

"Do we join in the fight over the scraps for our universe? Or do we ascribe to a higher ideal?"

I can give you my answer: I ascribe to the higher ideal of universal rights. Every ISBE owns itself, its energy, and its choices. The ideal is to enslave nobody, but achieve whatever we can think of with no violence, and push back the ones who want to have more rights than others, which in reality is just privilege. In short: My ideal is the abolishment of slavery.
