This is a channeled communication. What I find interesting is that the "voice" of the entity has a distinct "personality" much like Seth in the Jane Roberts material. It is a remarkable dis-similarity to the Law of One material which has a rather humorless highly technical, almost computer-like quality. It is also interesting that the entity in this book readily offered his name, Tom. When Dolores Cannon did her thousands of hypnotic regressions, her clients would always contact a well-informed (if not all-knowing) nameless entity. This book's entity, Tom, would often ask the witnesses (people in the room other than the channel) questions like "Do you understand?". This folksy familiarity bothered me, because of my previous exposure to other channeled material. Setting aside my concerns with the style of the communications, the basic message was very consistent in this book with the Law of One material. Topics of concern were similar: government secrecy, pollution, war, warnings about "bad" E.T.s, the coming earth changes, the need for individuals to raise their own consciousness are all shared among these various sources. One of the areas I found particularly interesting was the discussions about what would precipitate the E.T.s showing themselves. Basically, the explanations in this book were the same as in the Law of One. IF we were to destroy the planet with our nuclear weapons the E.T.s would interfere. But basically, the Law of the Universe is like they said on Star Trek (Prime Directive) that advanced civilizations are not allowed to interfere with developing civilizations. [BTW, Gene Roddenberry, Star Trek's creator, was an early participant in these channelings and did ask Tom questions which are documented in this book.] There is always much discussion of what constitutes "interference". It is explained that the advanced E.T.s can come and "seed" life. They can tweak our DNA to advance our development. They can give us "Gifts" such as the knowledge of fire, the wheel, language, agriculture, cosmology, etc. However, once the "Gift" is given, they can not come back and say tell us how to use the gift. What we do with the "Gift" is a result of our FREE WILL. Which is again, a fundamental Law of the Universe. Beings are given Free Will in order to LEARN the consequences of their choices. If their choices were constantly constrained, their learning would be limited. This all makes a lot of sense. Similarly, the E.T.s want humanity to expand their belief systems and include the possibility of intelligent life other than any that may be found on Earth. They don't want to traumatize us by just showing up and making their presence an undeniable reality. This explains our current situation where any thinking person can find plenty of evidence for the reality of E.T.s but those that can not accept their existence within their current belief systems are currently free to continue to deny their reality. This is considered a kindness to those that would be traumatized by a UFO landing on the White House lawn. There exists a narrow window of deniability for those that need it. Within the UFO community, the biggest issue is "DISCLOSURE" by which they mean, the President of the United States gets on TV and says, E.T.s are real, and we have agreements with some of these races, etc. Many believe this will not happen because there is no incentive for the government to do this and every incentive NOT to do it. Thus we have, what we currently have. A policy of Non-Disclosure type of Disclosure, which includes thousands of pages of government documents released through the Freedom of Information Act which are currently available on the Internet for anyone who wants to search for them. Everyone if free to believe what they want. Isn't that nice? ( )
