Introduction

It was some 40 years ago, when I was given the assignment to come to Earth, to intergrate, and to learn about the human race from birth to adulthood. Where we come from, we are aware of soul migration, so death is something we do not fear. We know our souls remain the same from planet to planet and life to life.

I chose to come on this mission, as it would allow me to see the human race from the grass roots up. I knew that would mean going through the pain of growing up in a human body to learn all the pain and pleasure of being human. However, I wasn't prepared for the plethora of emotions that I would encounter. Our observations of the wars on this planet confused us, as amongst the violence there were echoes of peace. How could a race show so much hate, yet have such a potential for love for one another in a crisis.

We were particularly interested in why humans would discriminate against one of their own race,only because, their skin was of a darker, or lighter colour. The human race was perplexing, yet inspiring, as we had observed from generation to generation.

You are probably wondering who I am, so I will tell you. I could be your friend, brother, sister, mother, father, suffering from famine and hunger, your next door neighbour,a homeless person on the street. In other words, you may see me, but not know who I really am. I look like you, experience pain and emotion like you, but what sets me apart from you is my anger doesn't turn to hatred, nor am I violent. Apart from that, you wouldn't know that I am an observer from another world.

I could be the person whom you are sitting next to on the train, plane, or bus. In other words, I could be anybody of the six billion people that reside on this planet that you call Earth. I could be of any race, religion, or country.

We couldn't understand your need to shed blood of another of your own kind. It made no sense to us. What we found bizarre is that you were finding and inventing new ways to kill one another in acts of war with weapons that were evolving to kill a large number of people, including the innocent victims that you classed as expendable.

We value life, and we don't procreate, except every 32 years, or when needed. All our children are loved and wanted. Where you procreate without considering the life of the one who has come out of the bonding. The child becomes unloved and unwanted. I digress here, as not all Earth children are so unfortunate, although many are through lack of consideration that their activity of sexual promiscuity could come at the cost of a child, whose soul is of importance.

As you see, my culture in my world, is vastly different from your own. Hence, we decided learn up close and personal what makes you the race that you are, and if your race is a threat to those of us, to whom you share the universe, should you manage to escape your planet and travel through time and space, as we do. You want to conquer and rule all that you survey without consequence, as did your ancestors. Many of you live to conquer and not strive for peace.

When I was chosen for this mission to observe from the ground up, I knew that my life would alter, but my memories would be intact. Relationships weren't so complex on my world, as they are here on Earth. Our relationships were of mutual respect without dominating another. We had never encountered slavery,until we decided to observe Earth.

Mankind has enslaved their fellow men/women from the beginning of time. Slavery still rears it's ugly head in forgotten places on Earth. The biggest and most starteling observation is your willingness to be enslaved to currency.

Ever since Ceasar, it seems that the people are enslaved to money and goods. Fair enough, since I have been on this Earth, I have had to live with the slavery that engulfs this world. I don't like it, and have learned to make it work for me, so it's power to enslave me is restricted.

This is just one paradigm that I have found while living here in this present state. This world is a world of commerce, and everybody seems to want to be better than somebody else. Governments want to control the populace and even use the markets to dictate to people how to spend their money.

People of Earth don't see that the stock markets are a system of control to make sure the elite of this planet are secure in their homes. If the stocks are down, people buy more, if they are up, people buy less, at least, I think that is how it works. The terms, 'inflation' and 'recession' seem to be words that are like tools in people's minds to tell them how to spend, or save. Then the governments increase the taxes to cover the short-fall which they manipulated in the first place.

On my world, commerce didn't exist. We shared a common goal. Our technology was restricted to geodisec domes, where those of us, who chose to, would create the technology to travel through space and time. Our industry was on dead planetoids, and didn't carry the pollution that yours carries into the atmosphere. Our planets, indigenious life forms on the surface were protected from our technology, all though our technology was of little risk to the planet. We were self-maintained and self-governing. However, we had respect for one another and for all life both on our planet and through out the universe.

Unlike you, we had two-suns, which gave the sky a lovely cerise hue. Our planet wasn't as hot, as you would think living in a binary system. It may have been the distance of our planet from the two suns, which our planet would encircle in a figure-eight style. One of our years is quite long, compared to yours, as our planet had to orbit around two suns, and we didn't have nightfall. It would only get like dusk, but no real darkness.

That is another observation of your world, as you are not in a binary system, although Jupiter has the potential to be a second sun, but failed to ignite, you are clothed in darkness.

Their are people in your world, who cry out for a simple piece of bread to stave off their hunger. We feel the governments are responsible for the many, who are homeless and hungry in this world putting profits, before people. Everything in your world comes at a price, and the biggest price of all is human suffering.

In the following chapters, I will make a more detailed observations, and they will be read like a journal. As I said, you do not know me, but I know you.
