Spirit

This is the most important word in this manual. Spirit is the driving force behind this mission as well as its designer. It is the reason our great forces are now assembled here. It is also the reason you, our mission members, willingly chose to incarnate on this seemingly hostile and backward planet. We all came at Spirit’s call.
       Everything and everyone in every universe rightfully belongs to Spirit. Spirit is the power that breathes life into all created form. Spirit is life’s true identity, as well as its long-awaited beloved. Spirit is the source, it is love, it is all. And, although Spirit has always resided here, it has now chosen to lift the veils that have kept its presence on this plane from being fully known. It is out of love of Spirit that the vast Forces of Light are now infiltrating every earthy system. We were summoned here to participate in the transfiguration of this planet into the glorified home of Spirit it is destined to be.

Passing for white

As you begin to awaken interdimensionally, Mission Control advises discretion. Keep a low profile and act as white as possible, unless you happen to be Chinese. (A little common sense is useful here). This is for your own safety. Don’t forget, the cultures of this planet are built on fear. They fear everybody, everything, and all differences; moreover, they kill in defence of those fears.
       Up until now it has been largely unnecessary for Mission Control to caution you on this matter, since you have not had a clue as to who you are and why you are here. However, as you begin to sense your true identity, be extremely careful. For instance, going up to someone and casually saying, “Hi, I’m from Sirius – I understand you’re a native,” will not win you any friends or influence many people. If you’re lucky, they will think that you’re nuts. If you’re unlucky, they may commit you.
       Remember, you came here to dismantle fear, not to elicit it, so be cautious about cocktail conversation and try not to alienate the aliens.

Closet Cases

Although you are in some danger from the indigenous population, the greatest danger you face is from other extraterrestrials who refuse to awaken. The local alien population, for the most part, will be inclined to dismiss the claim that extraterrestrials are in the midst by the millions as a crock of biodegradable matter. They are so certain they know what is happening that they will probably miss what is happening until it has already happened. Because of the one-dimensional nature of their belief witch hunts.
       On the other hand, extraterrestrials who are bucking their genetic coding are a bit more dangerous and should be approached with caution. They are more likely to strike than their cocksure counterparts. And, if any witch trial appears on the docket, they will undoubtedly have placed it there, as well as appointed themselves judges.

The Messiah Complex

(...) The Earth has elected to evolve beyond limitation; however, anyone who opts to explore that process further is free to do so - jus not on this planet. Such people will be allowed to continue their experiments with limitation on some other piece of planetary property that is at a less advanced stage in its evolution.
       The members of this mission have chosen to master divine expression instead of limitation, and are being asked to do so on this planet at this time. It is critical that you remember that one choice is not better than the other; one choice is just more suited to this planet than the other. Do not, in your half-awakened state and out of misdirected zeal, attempt to "convert" anyone to the choice you have made. Instead, be the choice you have made.

Wisdom and sharp humor... worth reading.

Reflection:
Mark Twain's 1894 novel, The Tragedy of Pudd'nhead Wilson, is a scathing satire of passing in the antebellum south. Roxy, a slave, is only one-sixteenth black; in order to avoid being sold down the river, she decides to switch her own baby (who is only 1/32 black) and a white baby she is caring for. Her own baby, Tom, who passes for white, is raised as a spoiled aristocrat, but when his true identity becomes known, he is sold down the river.

Well...
