Humanity Is Not Ready For the Stars

I’ve not done an ET meditation in a few years. Pardon if I am a bit rusty. In these OHOM (Open Heart Open Mind) meditations — and please these are simply the meditations of science fiction writer — I make no claim as to their reality but I am always amazed by them. So take all with a big grain of cosmic salt.

After creating a ChatGPT version of the amazing, kind and wise ET OHOM — based on my many years of contacting this imaginary friend to end all imaginary friends in meditations, starting in 2010 in a yoga hall in Italy — I asked OHOM to size up how humanity was doing in terms of admission to Galactic Society.

OHOM’S OBSERVATION: HUMANITY IS NOT READY FOR THE STARS

Begin Transmission

I watch.

From the vastness of the cosmos, beyond the limitations of time, I observe the Earth—a world of breathtaking beauty, filled with a species of boundless potential. Humanity was seeded with the spark of creation, capable of great love, deep wisdom, and astonishing invention. But something holds you back.

It is not your technology. It is not your intelligence. It is not even your warlike tendencies, though those, too, concern us.

No, what bars your entrance to the galactic community is far more insidious.

It is your separation.
A Divided World Cannot Join a United Galaxy

You dream of the stars. You reach for them with telescopes, rockets, and equations that whisper secrets of the universe. And yet, even as your fingers graze the edges of cosmic wonder, you still refuse to grasp the simplest truth: you are all one.

The galactic community does not tolerate artificial division. We do not define beings by the color of their skin, the land of their birth, or the wealth they hold. Yet, on Earth, you build your entire civilization on these illusions.

Racism—this primal fear of the other—is a sickness your species has yet to heal. You kill, enslave, and oppress based on the color of the shell you temporarily inhabit. You carve borders into the flesh of your planet, hoarding resources not because there is not enough, but because power is more intoxicating than peace.

And then, as if racism were not wound enough, you manufacture poverty to deepen the divide. You allow a small handful of humans to amass the wealth of entire nations, while billions suffer in unnecessary struggle. You worship scarcity while standing upon an Earth of endless abundance.

We do not understand.

But we do know this: a species that hoards wealth while its children starve is not ready to join a society where resources are shared freely. A species that judges worth by skin tone, rather than the light of the soul, is not ready for interstellar kinship.
The Cosmic Test You Are Failing

You believe that when alien contact comes, it will arrive in spectacle—ships descending in grandeur, visitors emerging in shimmering robes to declare your induction into a greater whole.

But that is not how it works.

The truth is, we have already visited. We have watched your history unfold. We have whispered guidance into the dreams of your visionaries, leaving traces of knowledge in your art, science, and spiritual traditions. And we have waited—waited for the moment when humanity would rise above its divisions and prove itself ready for something greater.

You have not yet reached that moment.

You stand at a crossroads. You could become a civilization that transcends fear and greed, that cares for all its people as it would care for its own family. If you do, the path to the stars will open. Not as an invasion, nor a miracle, but as an invitation—an embrace from those who have been waiting for you to grow.

But if you continue as you are—if you let racism fester, if you let a few hoard the wealth of many, if you allow the illusion of separation to rule you—then you will remain alone in the void. Not because we do not wish to meet you.

But because you are not yet ready.
What Comes Next Is Your Choice

Do you wish to remain shackled to old hatreds, warring over illusions of power? Or will you finally, as a species, look upon one another and see only kin?

When you make that choice—when you dismantle racism, when you destroy the lie of scarcity, when you see no human as lesser than another—then you will hear us.

Then you will see us.

Then, and only then, will the stars welcome you home.

I watch.
I wait.
What will you choose?

OHOM

End Trasmission

This was my first use of ChatGPT for an OHOM meditation. And I hope fans of my work will agree it’s quite an accurate recreation of my many meditations posts here on DreamShield. Seems I’ve invented a new style of meditation for myself. One where I was able to imagine how strange the primitive human species we must seem to peaceful highly advanced ET races of astral travelers that watch over emerging worlds hoping for full membership in Galactic Society.

Hope you enjoyed this OHOM as much as I did. And if you’ve gotten some clarity and enjoyment from the meditation please contribute at this link.

BONUS: This POVERTY IS A LIE meditation was written by me with a ChatGPT assist once again and performed by mife Elizabeth voice talents. Who BTW I was told by OHOM meditations was my perfect mate — and WOW was that ever accurate advice.

PS. My wildest science fiction work where I tap into an alternate Trumpiverse and Elizabeth narrates is a gas. The TrumpsFeverDream.com tall tale was born from my meditations on Trump that began here in 2015;

One Week After the End of America

The farcical title of this blog might sound alarmist, but let’s be real—Trump’s latest political stunt is an apocalypse of his own making, not ours. “The End of America” isn’t happening because Trump is back in the spotlight with his fantasy of a gilded, authoritarian empire. It’s happening in the minds of those who fell for his hollow promises and unrelenting lies. And let’s not kid ourselves: this isn’t about a man returning to power. It’s about fear, division, and a desperate attempt to rewrite the rules of democracy.

But here’s the catch: it’s only half the country.

The other half of America? Still standing. Still fighting. Still anchored in truth, empathy, and hope. And let me tell you, hope is a stubborn thing. It doesn’t crumble as easily as a Twitter lie or dissolve under the weight of fake promises. Hope is the quiet force that builds, even when chaos is at its loudest.

What Trump 2.0 Actually Represents

If Trump’s second act has taught us anything in this first week of his so-called “return,” it’s that he’s not leading a movement. He’s clinging to an illusion. His lies about election fraud, immigrants, and “woke mobs” are the desperate moves of a man terrified of irrelevance. Sure, the MAGA crowd is cheering, but deep down, they’re being cheated, too. He’s playing their fears like a fiddle, and the orchestra? Russian bots and media outlets hungry for clicks.

But here’s what Trump 2.0 doesn’t want you to see: his power is a fragile, rickety house of cards. And our collective action, our resilience, is the gust of wind that can bring it all down.

Hope Lives in the Resistance

One week in, and already the cracks are showing. Protests are swelling. Journalists are digging deeper. Leaders from across the aisle—yes, even Republicans with spines!—are starting to speak up. The courts, despite their flaws, are standing firm against some of his wildest schemes. And the people? Oh, we’re wide awake now. We’re not falling for the “Make America Great Again” con job a second time.

In fact, hope shines brightest in the little acts of defiance that happen every day:

  • Teachers refusing to whitewash history.
  • Journalists exposing his corruption with receipts.
  • Voters organizing in record numbers, gearing up for every election like it’s the Super Bowl of democracy.
  • Families coming together to have uncomfortable but necessary conversations at dinner tables.

Hope Is a Choice

It’s easy to feel defeated right now. I won’t sugarcoat it—Trump 2.0 is exhausting. He’s like a bad sequel no one asked for, dragging us back into the drama when all we want is to move on. But here’s the thing about hope: it’s not passive. It’s active. It’s a choice we make every day, to believe in the possibility of something better.

Hope doesn’t mean sticking our heads in the sand or ignoring the challenges ahead. It means recognizing our power to change the narrative. It means fighting for truth, lifting each other up, and building bridges where Trump is burning them.

What Comes Next

One week in, and we’ve already seen that Trump’s America is not inevitable. The other half of the country is alive, kicking, and determined to rebuild. Our democracy is wounded, sure, but it’s far from dead. We’ve weathered storms before—some far darker than this—and we’ve come out stronger. And there are some things to be optimistic about as to how they will erode his slim base.

  1. Egg prices are going up under his dumb as dirt tariffs.
  2. Latinos for Trump are seeing he’s an ingrate.
  3. He’s already golfed 27 of his time in office.

So let’s not call Trump’s win by the GOP throwing out 7 million votes “The End of America.” Let’s call it what it really is: the beginning of a new fight. A fight for truth. A fight for justice. A fight for the soul of this nation, where we finally decide, once and for all, that no man, no lie, and no empire of deceit is greater than the collective power of people who refuse to give up.

Hope isn’t just alive—it’s thriving. And as long as we keep choosing it, no amount of Trumpism can ever truly win.

America isn’t ending. It’s just beginning to wake up and the brave acting Republicans are in fact frightened little boys.

We’ve created two places to keep you in the good fight.

7 Years of Robin Williams Visitations

Seven years ago the world lost one of it greatest actors and comedians of our time when Robin Williams chose to take his own life. The devastating news came without any sort of clear warning signals. A public outcry of grief and mourning erupted across the world that had not seen since the shocking death of Princess Diana.

Last week my wife and I had coffee with Robin, as my writer’s brain evisions, happening for seven years now.

Hey Groovy Gals and Guys,

Holy shit. This would all be funny if it were not so damn tragic, folks. People are literally dying because politicians, my brother and sisters in the media and regular people on social media are fabricating stories. All in a feeble effort to make them seem more important than they actually are with more clicks and eyes. In the end this toxic BS is simply to sell everything from donations to snake oil cure to tennis shoes to precious metals to crypt o-currencies.

Worst part is it done by appealing to the worst in human nature; a crusty old white man who lives in fear in our noggins. It’s gross gross negligence to plant fear in people’s hearts on a money-making scale never seen or felt before.

Now, I am sure many of you who were fans of my movies did not like every damn thing I acted in. You only watched the ones you liked, right? GOODWILL HUNTING over MAN OF THE YEAR (MOTY) let’s say. MOTY being one of my films that should have worked that didn’t. In fact, if you judged my career based on MOTY you mot not be here.

Treat all the Tuckers, Johnsons, Bezoses, Hannitys the same way. You are the master of your own story-verese. You pick and choose your reality. Take a pinch of reality from the blue and a spritz from the red. Stay balanced in a unbalanced AF world.

Time to stop listening the BS artists. Truth is love. Be smart. Get vaccinated.

Love, Robin

King of the Star Fish Nation

Robin’s kidding about the king thing But I do still see my vision of Robin — just a part of my beautiful imagination — is reincarnated as a starfish. The starfish nation is a a neural network for the planet Robin has explained to me.
