(A Plea from the Galaxies of Heaven and the Mysterious Stranger. Duane)
*Friends: A strange man approached me on a sunny day and told me to deliver this...What he said...follows here.
"Brethren…all that you see of your world is lost. The Earth as you know it is shriveling into a useless ball of confusion. Your children are fighting, and your Oceans are dying. You have polluted the air you breathe, and the water you drink. Instead of reaching for solutions to the problems of your world, you are throwing insults to the Heavens above.
You seek more and more electronic "conveniences" to make your short lives easy, while you instead lengthen the distance between families, your friends, your countries, its peoples and your God. You have learned to fight for what you believe is yours when in fact it belongs to all on this blue orb revolving in third place around your sun. The time has come for those of us who walk in the light, to come to this place and try to save you from yourselves. We implore you to put down your weapons of war and your electronics, and instead take up the hands of your kinds in love and friendship, for time is of the essence. And time is the one thing you cannot replace.
Many years ago in your time, you smashed the atom and ripped a hole in the very fabric of time itself. We heard the sound, we felt the shaking, and saw the flash …and it did not stop. For what you had created started a chain reaction in the Cosmos, and that is what brought us here. We find misery and hopelessness, yet little love and compassion. We see violence and hatred mixed with wanton neglect of your animals, your foods, your planet and all your peoples. But, all is not lost. There is still time to change. But, it is short as the days are long.
We who walk in the light see and feel your pain, and this is why we come now to you. We come to implore you to change, for there is a better way. One that will feed and cloth the multitudes, cleans your seas, and plant abundance across the lands. You can reach for the mountain-tops, and dive the deepest seas. You can soar into the clouds and touch the face of God. This you must do quickly to make things right. There is no time to think, only to act. And you must do so now, for it is almost already too late.
Give up your weapons of war. Clean up your oceans, and tend to your fields. Rebuild your churches for faith itself in whatever you hold Holy is worthwhile. You are a sphere of colors and creeds, not calamity and chaos. One of love and support, not destruction and ruin. You still have a chance, and can make that choice.Your childrens children can inherit the world you call EARTH…and more. For it all is within.
The choice is yours, and the time is now. And time is something you are running out of. The sun grows hotter every day, and your oceans are turning blacker than the oil that destroys all the sea life in its waters. You must begin in the beginning. You must start to make amends. You must come to terms with the finality of destruction. You must put down your gadgets and gizmos and learn again how to speak face to face to each other, for this will begin building a bridge of understanding between your brothers and sisters of many colors and nations. In love and truth you will find the way to save yourselves from yourselves. For it is in your future and is your destiny.
One day we hope you will join us among the stars, and sail with us through the heavens in peace, love and light. For there is a God, and God is good. And there are many, many, many of us everywhere, and we have learned the truth through countless millennia of time. Today we bring that truth to you in hope that before you turn this bright blue ball into one that is black, burned and scorched, that you will realize that you are not now, nor ever were, alone. You do not own this place. You are only keeping it safe for your childrens children. And it is something they need you to show them how to preserve for their childrens children and so on and so on throughout time. Where you are going is more important than where you’ve been. And what you do now, will matter much more than what you did then.
We came with love, and leave in peace. May you see the light…and walk in it as well…for we hold out our hand…while God holds the other."
From the Galaxies, your Mysterious Stranger
