I just finished reading the book Insiders Reveal Secret Space Programs and Extraterrestrial Alliances by Michael Salla, and this was an incredible book. I want to give you the key points out of it right here. If I could point to the single most important thing that came out of it, it is this: open your mind to the possibilities of what we could have in the future. We could have a civilization very much like Star Trek. We could expect something like Star Trek, where we have awesome technology, where we are not having to go to boring jobs we do not like, where we are not relying on a debt-slavery money system like the one we have now. We could travel in space. There could be extraterrestrials. Things could be really cool. We could have a higher consciousness. That is what really gets me excited, thinking like that.
If I could point to anything from this book, that is the big takeaway: open up your mind to what is possible for the future. One of the things that has helped me a lot with that is listening to everything that was said in this book, especially the beginning of it on Audible. A lot of us have defense mechanisms in place, telling us that all of this is just conspiracy theory. So I want to start by talking about why this material is so hard to prove in the first place, because once you understand that, the rest of the book lands very differently.
The book that opened my mind to a Star Trek future
What Salla and others talk about at the beginning of the book is that the government has all of these secrecy protocols in place. There is top secret. There is secret. There are unacknowledged special-access projects that the government has no responsibility to tell you about. These are secrecy programs that we are very publicly aware of, and they are specifically structured to prevent people from coming forward and making disclosures about anything you might actually want to hear about when it comes to aliens and extraterrestrials.
It goes further than that. Even your major news stations are not allowed to give you this information directly, even if somebody comes forward, because you are looking at people getting sent to prison. A lot of the information Michael Salla has gathered comes from people who have come forward as whistleblowers, but they do not have the exact documents. If they were to bring hard evidence out, the FBI or the CIA or somebody would come confiscate it, and they would go to prison. So they have to come forward based on testimony alone.
Now here is the part I think is worth sitting with. We take testimony very seriously in our courts of law. We send people to prison based on testimony, and often on circumstantial evidence. Yet we have this narrative in our society that anything to do with extraterrestrials or government secrets requires hardcore proof put right in front of your face before you will even consider it. What Michael Salla outlines is that this kind of proof is basically not possible under the current system as it is built. The secrecy is designed to make sure the hard evidence never reaches you. So I think that is a good thing to keep in mind. Some people are not interested in this subject precisely because there is no neatly packaged evidence ready to hand, and I understand that, but I would gently suggest we might want to examine the material anyway, because the absence of evidence here is engineered, not accidental.
If you enjoy these kinds of mind-opening conversations, this is the heart of what I keep exploring on the channel, and you can find more of it in my Life playlist.
Why there is no smoking gun: secrecy, whistleblowers, and testimony
According to the book, we are in the early part of an era of disclosure. You are already seeing some disclosures about UFOs recently, and according to the book there is a day of disclosure coming, which to me is something to get very excited about. I will take a line from the film Above Majestic, which I watched: the goal of all of this conversation is to have a human race that is based in equality and truth.
It is important that we get to a human race based in truth and equality, because I think we all know right now that we do not have either. Our government makes it very clear that it has a right to keep whatever it wants secret. And it is not just our government. Almost every government in the world, plus countless companies, all make it very clear that they can keep anything they want secret. They do not have to tell us anything, and there is nothing we can do about it, except to talk about these things ourselves and to expect and demand equality. We can demand equal treatment. We can say it is not okay to keep all of this top secret.
You might wonder why governments would keep all of this information top secret in the first place. Michael Salla goes into it in the book. It is a can of worms. Once you tell people that there are secret space programs far more advanced than anything publicly known, and that there are extraterrestrials, then people start to ask the next question: well, how exactly are these things powered? According to the book, they are powered with technology that pulls energy straight out of the air. And then of course people ask, can I get some of that for my house? All of a sudden you have people realizing there are energy technologies out there that could give you all the energy you could ever want from a small device in your home. You would not need to pay the power company anymore. There are anti-gravity technologies. There are replicators that can make the things you currently have to buy. You would not need cars that run on gas. You would not need to take airplanes. You would not need to pay these companies. There is so much wealth and so much abundance available. You could grow your own food. You could build your own house easily. You could power your own house.
Do you see the problem with this information? If you are a billionaire, and you are interested in controlling humanity, where does that leave you? People do not need your stuff anymore. And there is so much more than what I am even describing here. You can see why there would be a strong desire to keep this information secret, because in Salla's telling, this information causes enormous problems for the human elites. It wipes out companies. It wipes out entire industries that are no longer necessary. That, according to the book, is why the information is kept secret. And the only way to get it out into the open is to request it, to expect it, to demand it. I am contributing to that right now. This is something that is percolating in the collective human consciousness. It is getting very popular. To me, this is one of the most important conversations we could possibly have. Nothing they put on the news is more important than this.
A day of disclosure is coming
Once you go into this subject, the subject of extraterrestrial life and secret space programs, there are so many secrets that are so outrageous that you almost need to be in a certain state of consciousness to handle them. According to the book, there is a day of disclosure that we are working up to right now. We are working up to a day when this information that almost nobody knows about today will be publicly revealed everywhere, in all different kinds of ways, across all different kinds of media. It will be talked about openly. There will be all kinds of documents and proof for it. What I am doing, what I am assisting with, is a kind of seeding of human consciousness so that we are prepared for that day.
I say prepared, because some of the most controversial things in the book are genuinely heavy. One of them is the idea of a galactic slave trade. Think about how upset people get right now when a police officer kills somebody. People go nuts over that, and yes, that obviously is terrible and is clearly a sign that we need to level up our consciousness. At the same time, that does not happen that often, and it does not affect that many people in the grand scheme. So compare that kind of thing, which people get fired up about, with what the book is describing. I think people get fired up about injustice because on some deeper, unconscious level we are aware of it. We are identifying with it.
The galactic slave trade and the secrets we are not ready to hear
Now imagine telling people what Michael Salla describes in the book: that there is a galactic slave trade, where millions of human beings have been taken off of this earth, often against their will or under false promises, and traded to other places, other planets, places like Mars, so that companies and governments could receive advanced technology in exchange. Is that something the human population is prepared to handle?
I am prepared to handle a disclosure like that. I am hearing this in the book, and I do not think the right response would be to say we need to hang everyone involved, or string up everyone connected to it. You can see how a lot of people on earth might react that way. You might go a little bit insane demanding justice. So you can see why we need to plant the seeds and be prepared for something like this in advance. I am prepared. But are you prepared to hear the worst secrets that have been kept from you?
I have gone through this exact process myself, the process I think humanity needs to go through collectively. I have gone through the process of stopping having secrets, of telling the truth, of revealing all of my dark places. What I can see is that we are coming to a time for humanity to do the exact same thing, to reveal its secrets collectively. When you read a book like this, let us say, for the sake of argument, that ninety percent of it is wrong. Even if only ten percent of what is in this book is true, it is wild. It is shocking. If even ten percent of this book is true, then we are looking at secrets where the natural reaction is, why has this been kept from us? Why did you not tell us about that? These are things somebody really should have told you about, or at least things you might have wanted to know.
Nazi space programs, flying saucers, and a history that was hidden from us
Here is one example from the book. According to Salla, the Nazis had a space program in the 1920s and 1930s, and they even made a landing on the moon in the early 1940s. If you have ever heard anything about World War Two, you may have heard Hitler talking about wonder weapons. According to this book, the wonder weapons were flying saucers. There was a flyover in the 1950s, and those were Nazi flying saucers that flew over the White House, essentially taunting the United States government, saying: you may have taken our country, you may have taken the country out, but you have not stopped us. We are still here. In fact, we have technology you cannot even stop.
So the book goes into details like that, and it leaves you thinking, wait a minute, our whole history, the history I was taught, has been almost completely incomplete. What do you mean the Germans had a secret space force that escaped World War Two, that we then made an alliance with that secret space force, that it infiltrated the highest levels of the military-industrial complex in the 1950s, and that we still use the base they built on the moon today? How was that left out? Somebody should have mentioned that.
You can see how this information in the book is amazing, but it also feels true to me. It resonates as true, and I trust my sense of things. Now, I am not saying every single thing mentioned in this book is accurate, and that is exactly why we need to cultivate truth internally, on an individual level, so that we can connect better collectively. The only reason we have conspiracies at all is because there is lying. There is government lying. There is government secrecy, which is very well documented. Almost every country keeps top secrets. There are around three million people in the USA with federal clearances at secret or above, and roughly 1.3 million with top secret clearances, according to the government's own manuals. What are all of those people working on? What are they doing? And you have no right to know about any of it.
The inventor, the FBI, and the civilian spacecraft that disappeared
This book also suggests there is a great deal of suppressed technology. One of the stories that stuck with me involved a man whose exact name I am forgetting, but the story is unforgettable. According to the book, this man was a protege of Nikola Tesla, and back in the 1950s he was inventing a civilian space program. He was building what you might think of as a flying saucer, a craft designed for civilians to be able to use, and he had a working model of it, a model capable of interstellar travel, potentially even capable of reaching other solar systems.
Once enough people found out about it, guess what happened. The FBI came and took all of it. They said, in the interest of national security, we are confiscating all of this, because if you release this it will destroy our monetary system and the U.S. dollar, and we cannot have that. Meanwhile, the public was unaware of any of this. All the public knew was that this man, who had invented a civilian spacecraft and a civilian space program, mysteriously became ill right before the public test flight that had been scheduled, the one where hundreds of people had shown up to watch. The FBI raided it right before. Then some trumped-up charges were made against him, something about soliciting somebody to do something he did not want to do, and he was sent to prison.
Fifty years after this happened, a man came forward and said, I was this man's protege, and let me tell you what really happened. That is how Michael Salla got this story into the book. And according to the account, this protege who came forward later had a minor medical need, something he needed to be released from prison and taken to the hospital for, and his ambulance mysteriously ended up twenty-five miles away from the hospital he was supposed to go to, and he nearly died. He believes the people trying to keep this information secret made an attempt on his life, all for bringing out information that was fifty years old. These are things we need to hear about. This is exactly why we want a public that is fully informed about what is going on. We do not want a public that is kept uninformed, and it seems that for almost all of human history the public has been kept in the dark, indefinitely. I think it is time the public knew the truth, because to me we cannot have a strong human race without truth, and we need truth and equality to solve every problem we think of as a problem.
Debt slavery and the mental Matrix we were born into
Another thing Michael Salla talks about in the book is that throughout all of human history there has been some group or another, an Illuminati or a cabal, that has ruled humanity and essentially used humanity, especially in recent history, with a money system, as a kind of slave population. If you think to yourself, I have to go to work, I have to do this just to make money, that is a reflection of what I see as a very clever form of mental slavery. You are not overtly in chains or in bonds, but you are kept in debt. You are kept financially from getting ahead. And even if you do manage to get ahead financially, you are programmed to never feel it is enough. You are programmed to waste the money and to endlessly want more. You are programmed so that you can never have enough money.
According to the book, we do not need this kind of debt-slavery system that we are in, and the release of this suppressed information is a chance to free people globally from it. Right now the game is completely stacked against you. The elites, the Illuminati, the cabal, whatever you want to call them, already have all the money. You have to try to borrow money just to get a little bit ahead, and in borrowing money you essentially enslave yourself with debt. Most of the time, most people just lose at that game for their entire life.
I will be honest about my own situation, because I am not standing above any of this. Laura and I have something like six hundred and some thousand dollars in debt, just to have a house and to have a decent education. A lot of the population is essentially in the same spot Laura and I are in. We were tricked. We were tricked into borrowing a bunch of money. We were told by almost everybody we trusted to go to college and get an education, and it was such a lie. I did not need that education. I did not need to borrow a bunch of money to go to college. All I really needed to do was learn something useful. But you get tricked into making that first loan and going into debt, and then you are paying interest to somebody who already had the money in the first place, while the entire game is stacked against you. The best you can do inside that system is to enjoy your life and help other people.
On some deep level, I think we all realize there is inequality, and I think that is exactly why we are so bothered when we see blatant inequality that we can relate to. When we see somebody being mistreated by the police, it triggers us, because on some deep level we know that is us. Almost all of us are being treated not on the basis of equality, but on the basis of inequality. Some of us are elite and operate by a totally different set of rules, and the rest of us, the ninety-nine percent, are essentially controlled by the one percent. We know it. This book emphasizes a way out: that we publicly demand truth, that we demand justice, that we say, look, we are not going to cooperate with a government that keeps all of these secrets from us. I feel no obligation to do anything beyond the absolute minimum for a system like that. To me this is the ultimate civil rights movement, where we simply stop being compliant and stop being obedient as long as there is no truth. And as long as top secret programs exist, there is no truth. There are millions of people working on things our own government has no obligation to ever disclose to the general public, for any reason, with almost no accountability for it.
From what is said in this book, and in other books I have read, and other documentaries I have watched, even the president is not in the loop on much of this. If that is true, then our election does not even matter on this front, because even the president we pour all of that energy into electing is not in on these secrets. The military-industrial complex essentially decides the president does not need to know. So who does need to know? Who is actually keeping an eye on all of these things? This community is part of where I keep asking those questions out loud, and if it speaks to you, I would love for you to join us in the Jerry Banfield Family so we can keep having these conversations together.
The good news: an advanced civilization has answered our call
At this point you might be thinking, my goodness, Jerry, this is really depressing. But there is good news. According to this book, Michael Salla says that humanity's current challenges and situation have resulted in a group of highly advanced extraterrestrial beings being summoned. These beings have the highest technology. They are described as the most advanced beings humanity has ever interacted with. That is the good news the book provides, and it provides a lot of bad news too, plenty of moments where you might think we are totally screwed and it is all hopeless. Fortunately, according to the book, that is not the case.
Think about predictions like the Mayan calendar and the idea of 2012 being the end of the world. In a sense it was an ending, but not the end of the physical world. There is not an Armageddon coming the way you might picture it. It is more of a mental armageddon, where it is time to live in a new reality instead of living inside a kind of Matrix. That is why movies like The Matrix are so popular. To me, that is what The Matrix is really about. The stories we are living inside are essentially a simulation we have been plugged into. We are told, oh, we do not know if there is any extraterrestrial life out there, we are alone here. According to the book, that is not the truth. The truth is that there are human beings who know for sure we are not alone. There are people inside these government projects who are keeping all of these secrets, and not just government, but companies and corporations too, an entire system of it.
So the good news, in Salla's telling, is that in humanity's distress, as our situation became so seemingly hopeless and we reached out and asked for so much help, help has arrived. It has arrived in the form of a very advanced extraterrestrial civilization that has come here to help us, because clearly we cannot seem to get ourselves out of this on our own. Humanity collectively has been stuck in this state for a very long time on this planet. According to the book, this very advanced race of extraterrestrials has come to assist us, and they have set up a solar-system-wide quarantine to lock things down, to stop certain activity, and to allow us to develop and get a hold of the situation here.
The Blue Avians, the Secret Space Program Alliance, and the goal of disclosure
According to the book, these beings are assisting an alliance called the Secret Space Program Alliance, which is a group of humans who have been participating in these secret space programs and who have realized, hey, this is wrong. It is time to stop doing this. What we are participating in is wrong, and we need to help people instead. The book describes incredible hidden technologies that have been suppressed: time travel, age regression, and faster-than-light travel. It describes human beings living in other galaxies and in other parts of our solar system. It describes bases on Mars with hundreds of thousands of people who are essentially being used as slave labor right now, with corporations running the operations.
The goal of this alliance is disclosure, so that all of this information becomes known publicly, and the goal is equality for all human beings, instead of there being a ninety-nine and a one percent. The goal is to get all of this suppressed technology, which according to the book has been suppressed for selfish and self-centered reasons, into everyone's hands, so that we can build a future based in truth, equality, and equal access to technology, rather than a world where the one percent have basically everything and the majority gets whatever is left over.
According to the book, the beings assisting this transition are called the Blue Avians, and they are part of an alliance called the Sphere Being Alliance. They have given the alliance, basically the good guys who are on our side, some very high technology, which the alliance can use defensively and as leverage to negotiate with the elite, the Illuminati, the cabal, whoever you want to point to, those who are self-interested in keeping things exactly the way they are and keeping humanity down and suppressed. These advanced beings have given technology to the Secret Space Program Alliance so that humanity has a chance to advance. And now, according to the book, those who have been doing the most egregious things are scrambling, trying desperately to figure out how they can get away with it, how they can avoid full disclosure, how they can hide their activities. That is exactly what we are in the middle of right now.
UFOs in the news and the technologies they do not want you to have
Is it not interesting that, as part of all of this, UFOs are finally being discussed seriously in the media? If you want some evidence of what is to come, reading this book is a really good way to get a sense of it, because the book was talking about disclosures and about these things back in 2015, and now we are actually seeing some disclosures about UFOs. After roughly seventy years of people reporting UFOs, finally people are taking it seriously. Finally it is on the national news, and it is not treated as a joke anymore. To me, that is good evidence that we really are in the disclosure process. It is going to be a process, and it will unfold according to the collective will of humanity. Personally, I want disclosure as soon as possible. There is no time to waste. I have written and talked elsewhere about this same subject when I was discussing ancient aliens, UFOs, world history, and the future of the galaxy, and the more I look at it, the more it all connects.
There are also the technologies themselves. According to the book, there are technologies out there that can reverse age you. Multiple people have come forward, people who were not even aware of each other, and provided the same testimony: that they were part of secret programs run by militaries and corporations around the world, that they were age-regressed twenty years back into the past, and that they experienced time travel. According to these accounts, they were taken into these secret programs and essentially taken out of their own lives, lived something like twenty years inside the secret space program, were age-regressed, and then were placed back into their lives as if it had never happened.
You might think, man, this is all fantastic, this is too crazy to even take seriously. And here is the thing. You do not necessarily have to take every single thing in the book seriously as if it is gospel and absolutely true. The goal is to expand and open your mind to what is possible, and to start thinking about a very exciting future instead of a future that is only negative and scary. This is exactly why we need more concrete and clear disclosure, because the book is based on Michael Salla's research. He put together a whole range of testimonies from different people, using the best sources he could find. Some of the information could be inaccurate, and that is precisely why we need truth collectively. What we are getting from the government is clearly inaccurate. There is already a significant public distrust of government, and of the management of companies, and frankly it should not be like that. We should have a government we trust and believe in. I am the kind of person who is skeptical of whatever I see on the news. That might be true, that might not be true. It should not have to be like that. We should have truth.
Two paths to ascension: 51 percent selfless or 95 percent selfish
I will admit something. Early on while talking through all of this, I made the mistake of looking at my view count and starting to focus on what I was getting, getting into that self-centered mindset of what am I getting, and when am I getting it, and how should I be getting it, and what do I deserve. That is not the kind of mindset you want to be in, and catching myself in it ties directly into another extremely valuable talking point from the book, which is about balance.
According to the book, there are two paths to ascension. One path to ascension is to be fifty-one percent selfless or more, meaning you focus your life, your purpose, and your mission on getting out there and helping other people. That is one path to ascension, to heaven, to leveling up your being: to get to a place where at least half of your life, fifty-one percent of it, is about serving and helping others. My wife actually thought this part was crazy. According to the book, these higher beings, the Blue Avians, said that one path to ascension is through serving others, where fifty-one percent of your thoughts and your life are about helping other people, considering other people, and lifting other people up.
The book describes a second path too. The other path to ascension is being ninety-five percent or more selfish. The idea is that you can actually ascend to a point of unity, where the selfless people and the self-centered people ultimately unite. And what is genuinely uncomfortable, according to the book, is trying to live in between those two poles. I used to be much closer to the ninety-five percent selfish disposition myself. The reason these extraterrestrials are described as coming here to help us is to help more people make the ascension by being selfless and serving others, because as you can see on this planet right now, there seems to be an enormous amount of selfishness, where everything is about me.
Selfishness, the way it shows up here, is almost exclusively considered in terms of you and your tribe. You being yourself, and then your tribe being your family, and however else you define it, your friends, your nation, your company, to the point where you do not consider anybody beyond your own definition of self. It looks like, well, I do not care what is happening to these people outside of my country, or I do not care what is happening to anyone who is not in my family. You will do things that hurt others, and you will not even feel it or care about it, because they are not inside your definition of self. And I love the idea of having a human race that is more like Star Trek, where the circle of who we care about is drawn much, much wider than that.
Checking my motives: service to others versus chasing views
With everything you do in your life, I think it is an important consideration to get honest about your motives. I think about this a lot with my livestream and with my life. It is so delicate. Okay, why am I doing this livestream? I am doing it to help other people, to make other people's lives better, to expand other people's sense of what is possible, to lift other people up. That is why I am doing it. So if that is genuinely why I am doing it, then what does it matter how much I get out of it? Here is the trap. If I am doing my livestream and on the surface I am saying I am doing it for other people, but I am secretly judging its success based on how much money I am making and how many views I am getting, then I have quietly slipped into a selfish motive.
I have to catch that voice in real time. At the start of talking through this, part of my mind was saying, this content is not valuable, nobody cares about this stuff, just play the game, make money for yourself, get attention. That voice is loud, and it is wrong. When somebody in the chat told me how much this meant to them, it was a reminder that the inner voice telling me to chase attention is exactly the selfish programming I am trying to grow out of. If I am doing this as something selfless, then what I really want is to create something that makes a true difference in somebody's life. This book made a big difference in my life. It really helped me open up and expand my life. And Michael Salla is not going to get rich making that impact on me. He may not even get hardly anything for himself out of helping me. So I look at my livestream and I ask, can I do that too? Can I do a livestream with an emphasis on making a genuine difference in your life? Because sometimes views and making a true difference do not go together at all. I once got eight hundred thousand views on a GoldenEye stream and made thousands of dollars in ad revenue, and I honestly do not know if that made a real difference in anybody's life. Maybe it gave somebody a little bit of nostalgia. Maybe it was just a pleasant distraction. Maybe it did not do much at all.
Right now, though, I am feeling very on purpose. I am doing something meaningful, and I am doing it because I truly care about you and about everybody else. Not just people, either. I care about the animals on this planet. I care about the planet itself. I care about how we are balancing life. I care about all the other civilizations we may be interacting with. I care about everybody beyond myself, beyond my family, beyond my neighborhood, beyond my state, beyond my nation. I care about life on other planets too. I think it is beautiful when this planet can operate in a way that is supportive of other planets, done honorably, in a way that sets an example, instead of being something that a more advanced civilization might look at and think, wow, that is not what you want to do right there.
Most of you, I have noticed, watch my videos after I am done streaming live, and that has taught me how important it is to be considerate of you while I am creating. Selfish creation only thinks about what I want to accomplish and what I want to get out of it. Considerate creation asks, how may I serve you? How may I create something that is truly useful for you? Instead of asking, how do I create something that makes money? I have been very effective at creating things that made money, that got views, that got follows. But you can also see how empty that is, because it all goes away so quickly. When you are all about getting views and money, you can never get enough views or money. There is always more to get. There is always somebody who has more than you. And even if you reach the very top spot, which I have reached in a few places, then you have the hard work of actually staying there, and that is often just as stressful, if not more stressful, than getting there. It becomes a constant fight. To me, books like this one explain why our history has been based on so much fighting, and they point toward a way out. The way out is through truth, and through understanding that what you do matters.
Everything you do matters, because we are all connected
It would be easy to look at all of this and say, well, Jerry, these things are way above my pay grade. It does not matter what I think or do not think, this stuff is way over my head. What I find inspiring is the opposite. Every single one of us makes a difference in what happens to all of us. This book made a great difference in my life, and I want to make a big difference in other people's lives with what I do, because none of us are separate from each other. What I think has an impact on all of humanity, because we are all connected. The book mentions the Law of One, which is a concept I fully intend to investigate further.
What we want to do is realize that everything we do matters, that each change we make in our own world has the potential to be reflected across all of humanity. I am in the place I am in now, seeking truth for humans on a collective level, because I have already been through this same process on a personal level. And there are all kinds of ways to help people. Helping people laugh, for instance, is genuinely useful. That is a good thing you can do for others. At one point I was focusing a lot on laughter on my livestream, on just being funny, and that is good. I want to be funny, and I am grateful for it. I trust my intuition, and today this is what I have been thinking about all day. This is what has felt most alive and most important for me to talk about.
I do not need the whole world to immediately start thinking about this. Just getting this information out, and even just thinking about it myself, makes a big difference. Every little thought you have makes a difference. I love the idea of helping more of us imagine a future that is full of peace, full of opportunity, and full of prosperity. Even if you make a video and you are the only one who laughs at it, and nobody else laughs at it, it has still lifted up humanity. To me, that is what makes life worthwhile and worth living. It is worthwhile when you know your purpose, when you know why you are here.
This is also why I check my motives so carefully when I try something new as a creator. I am always experimenting, posting in new places, trying new formats, and the question underneath all of it stays the same: am I doing this just to get views, or am I doing this to really make a difference in somebody's life? Some of the things that make the biggest difference, like this book, are not even that popular or widely known. The author seems to have some following, but the impact a piece of work has on a single person's life has very little to do with how many views or how much money it generates, and I want to keep choosing impact over numbers.
What kind of world will we choose to make?
I like how this book also emphasizes that there is value even in those people, and those extraterrestrials, who have chosen the utterly selfish life path, who seem to not have an ounce of consideration for others in them. It is worth noticing that I am not up here raving and ranting about all of this the way you might expect. You would think a subject like this would trigger a riot. And you can see exactly why the disclosure process needs to be done carefully and considerately, because if people are ready to riot over relatively small things, over a few people dying, then what are people going to do over the kind of things we are talking about here? A lifetime of suppression. Do you think the average person is ready to handle the idea that our governments and corporations have suppressed technology that could have given us free energy, age regression, and time travel, that some of it has been around for fifty years, and that human beings have even been traded for it and sold into slavery on other planets? Is that information the average person is ready to process?
I would like to think that in the future it is information the average person can process, because I am ready to handle it now. I am able to process this information with love and compassion and understanding, recognizing that this is how the world was before, and then turning to the big question. The big question is, what kind of world are we going to make going forward? Are we going to keep allowing a world where one percent rule the ninety-nine? Are we going to keep allowing a world where one percent have almost everything and the ninety-nine percent get whatever is left, where the one percent have a garage full of ten Bentleys while the ninety-nine percent are paying interest on the one car they have? Right now, one out of nine people on this planet is going hungry and starving, and meanwhile one out of three people is overweight. These are facts you can find online. Is that how we want to live, or can we do better? I think we can do better, and this whole conversation is about exploring exactly how. I find that I need to be able to picture things concretely in order to help them manifest. It is not enough to vaguely say, yeah, I want to do better in my life. You have to ask, well, what would that actually look like?
Creating in a way, or living your life in a way, that is of service to others can feel a bit unnatural sometimes. A lot of us are so used to instant gratification, where you go to work and you get paid, that we do not even realize that whole system is selfish, and that we have even been programmed selfishly. It is tough. One of the biggest challenges to being a creator is facing your own selfish programming. Am I willing to show up and do a livestream where I do not get anything financially out of it? Am I able to love and enjoy what I do even if I do not get anything out of it? The only reason I am still here doing this is that thousands of times I did things having no idea whether they would be worth anything at all. I did them just to help somebody. If you are exploring these same questions about purpose and service, I would genuinely love to have you in the Jerry Banfield Family, where we keep working through them together.
Coming back to those two paths to ascension, the book emphasizes that you do not just have to go down the path of helping others. You can actually ascend by being ninety-five percent or more selfish, because your selfishness gives the people who are practicing selflessness their meaning, and the two polarities eventually integrate into unity. But in the reality of the process we are in right now, we actually need the polarities, and what the book encourages is that you pick your side. I lived a lot of the selfish path before, and what I can attest to is that being around eighty percent selfish is genuinely uncomfortable, because you are still trying to help people twenty percent of the time, but you are not helping enough to really fulfill yourself. So go all in if you want to be selfish. According to the book, that is just as noble a path to ascension as being selfless. The place where you end up miserable is in between. Being forty percent service to others and sixty percent selfish is uncomfortable. The message is, pick a side. Is the majority of your life going to be about serving others? And if not, then go all in on selfishness, totally forget everybody else, because there are genuine merits to that path as well.
You might think, no, that is horrible, we do not want people doing that. But that is their life, and it is their own life to live. What makes things interesting is the polarity, the difference itself. Selfless people actually need selfish people in order to actualize their own life purpose. That is why the most selfless people are often attracted to the most selfish people. That is how my wife was attracted to me. She has a very selfless disposition, and my disposition was less than fifty percent selfless, a majority selfish but not a complete, unanimous selfishness, which meant I was simply uncomfortable. My wife has helped me see that I am not here to be a selfish person, only thinking about what I need and what my comfort zone is, and not only about what my country needs and what my family needs. I am here to consider absolutely everyone and everything I can bring into my awareness. I know that because that is what feels good and what feels true for me now. Some people, though, are here to be purely selfish, and those people have a purpose too. It is good to know thyself. For some people, being selfish genuinely is their disposition, and that is okay. We do our best to work with them and to learn from them.
For me, I get a lot of joy out of helping others, and it is important for me to constantly remember to choose joy and to choose service to others, because I am on a life path where I have to go that way. I do not enjoy being selfish. It is miserable to me. That is simply not my disposition, and it is nice to know that about myself.
Snipers without social security numbers
I will end with something one of the people watching shared with me, because it feeds right into the book. She mentioned that when we are born, we register with a social security number, and at that point we become worth one million dollars to our government as trading value. I did not know that, and I find it very interesting.
It reminded me that I have heard there are people who do not even have social security numbers. I heard this firsthand, or close to firsthand, from a man who went to train near Area 51. He told me he was warned that if you leave the boundary of the training facility and wander out into Area 51, there are snipers out there who do not have social security numbers, snipers who will kill you. He was told to stay exactly where he was supposed to stay, to not go out there, to not wander around, and to not get curious. This is someone I trust, someone I have known for a while, who has no reason to deceive me on this point. Snipers without social security numbers. To me, that detail feeds extremely well into this entire conversation, and into this book. If you want to go deeper down this particular rabbit hole, the Area 51 story connects directly to what I wrote about in Dreamland by Bob Lazar, on reverse-engineering alien spacecraft at Area 51, and I even had my own strange sighting that I described in my diary entry about tennis, my kids, and a UFO.
So that is the heart of what I took from Insiders Reveal Secret Space Programs and Extraterrestrial Alliances by Michael Salla. Whether it is one hundred percent accurate or ten percent accurate, it drastically expanded my thoughts about what is possible, and it reminded me of what really matters: truth, service to others, and the understanding that everything we do makes a difference, because we are all connected.
