The [[consensus]] seems to be that the [[spirit]]-minded feel there is only a spirit reality in [[the universe]], and the [[science]]-minded feel there are only [[science fiction]] aliens, and they may be good or bad but they may or may not have a spiritual reality, when in fact if one has a [[recognition]] of the [[retardation]] of [[Urantia]] and these [[Isolated worlds|sister worlds from isolation]], you will readily recognize what tremendous advances are yet to be made in your [[perspectives]] and then in your [[acceptance]] of all your [[potential]], [[spiritual]] and [[material]].

"[[Extraterrestrials]]" is an unfortunate phrase, in that, it seems to connote [[alien]] qualities of [[weirdness]] and [[violence]], perhaps disease and anal probes, or [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alien_abduction abductions] and the [http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?guid=cee44af4-9f53-4675-a619-dd4f6d399949 bar scene in Star Wars]. But it is an intelligent universe, and those who have been able to manage to steer a course of balanced [[development]], have been able to bring with them the [[necessary]] [[understanding]] of the [[laws]] of [[the universe]] as well as the dynamics of [[experience]]. And thus they have inherently had the advantage of understanding the [[qualities]] of [[divinity]] that induce us in an enhancement of our appreciation of [[truth, beauty and goodness]].

I therefore [[applaud]] your [[fascination]] for [[galactic]] [[exploration]], even while many of you have the provincial [[attitude]] that "If it ain't broke, don't fix it. What do we need to be going out into [[outer space]] for, into orbit, looking at the other side of the [[moon]] or striving to reach [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venus_(planet) Venus]?" Well, it's part of the growing pattern of all young things. Any toddler will learn to crawl and then scramble like mad as he approaches the next [[step]] which is standing and walking and then he'll run like mad, and that's what you guys are doing in your [[humanness]]. You have stood up with [[the Father]] holding onto your hand and now you're looking around and scrambling. Soon you'll be on your feet and running pell mell into the galactic [[adventures]] that are your birthright. But you're not going anywhere prematurely, so, nobody needs to worry about that. You still need to eat and pay rent as I understand it. And so as long as you have your feet on terra firma, you cannot harm your situation by being mindful of greater [[life]] in [[the universe]], for all of it is under God, and [[infiltrated]] with the [[divine]] [[essence]] in one form or another, so why not [[embrace]] the [[unknown]] of the [[galaxy]] as readily and earnestly as you embrace the unknown of our Father's/ Mother's [[love]].
