Thanks for taking my comment. It is interesting to see what others have to say. I appreciate the opportunity.

THEN, he goes on to say BUT “As I have said in these pages before, and as, in fact, I have written John Podesta and others, there is a route to contact that will work well for us”. First NASA should disclose, then the National Academy of Sciences blah blah blah.

THEN, he says that we shouldn’t stop learning and evolving or we might end up like the aliens “half dead’ traveling around looking for a little excitement in the universe. Are you serious??

Some others here made the very wise point that it seems obvious that we are dealing with many more species/entities than just one. Maybe Whitley met the wrong crowd, who knows.

I would point out the distinction between what Whitley reports as his experience and the opinions he holds about what to do. To the best of my ability to discern, I find Whitley to be an honest reporter, and listening to him expands my awareness about what could be going on. Since there’s no way to verify this information, however, its veracity is subject to doubt. To each his or her own about accepting what he says. Regarding opinions about what to do, then we are on common ground, and we can have debates or even arguments about what would be best.

Carl Jung said that if the U.S. air force knows about the UFO situation, they need to tell the people the truth. Jung said (in the 60s) that the alternative (cover-up, lies and disinformation) was far more damaging than the truth. As to whether or not the people can handle the truth, Jung posed the example of the 60s family that got up every morning, went to work and/or school, raised children, were in many relationships, paid taxes, voted, etc. – and did all this with full knowledge that people in the USA and Russia were sitting at desks with fingers poised over launch control buttons, which could unleash worldwide nuclear warfare. Jung asked the question as to what could be more damaging or threatening than this – and of course the answer is nothing. People can handle the truth – and in a democracy, they have not voted away their rights to know the truth.

Hunter Grey (http://hunterbear.org/betty_and_barney_hill_and_et_enc.htm), in conversation with me several times, has compared what is said about “ETs” in our culture today with what was said about people of color 30-50 years ago, and found very similar racist statements.

I believe that people deserve the truth, and can handle the truth. My personal advice is to not wait for a government spokesperson to tell you that some UFOs and their occupants are real. Fairly sift the information and come to your own conclusions based on your efforts and not the pronouncements of others who may not have your best interest at heart. Peace!

However, another perspective is that if the government were to announce the reality of other intelligence, it could produce massive change in our worldview. We would be one humanity in relation ‘the other,’ and, as someone in the film says, “That could be what saves this civilization.”
