Herbivore lifestyles significantly reduce population pressures on environments. They do lots more.
Like happiness and sustainability, this choice of food is a DIY mindset that boosts health, ecology, conscious living, personal values, budget, and service/infrastructures of community life.

It helps transform your life, empowers organic local community markets, guardrails humanity’s evolution, and reduces economic predatory acts as well as greenhouse gasses.
Yet, while knowing individual, cultural and economic sustainability is the best way to travel, we should remember that any reality we dream up has limits to be improved.

For example, an omission often made by scientists looking for intelligent life in the universe, like SETI, is that they assume nature may create intelligent designs on habitable planets (carbon or silicon-based) wanting to contact Earth, these beings may already influence us.
 

There are zillions of planets, thus a good chance of a long existing galactic state. After all, according to cosmology, our Milky Way is over 13 billion years old.

Scientific Evolution Or Tests by Celestial Beings – Or Both?

Why would alien cultures sit on their hands? Why not spread far and wide? Life’s ingredients are omnipresent. Its occurrence on other watery planets is likely.

They may not have recognisable clothes, such as dresses, shirts, and pants, but let’s assume for the moment that they are friendly and can translate their languages into English.
They are also not the ugly monsters presented in films and TV series, but decent folks living on countless planets and moons. After all, where there’s life, intelligence evolves.
 
Aliens may have seeded life on Earth, tinkering with primates, say 200,000 years ago. 
For example, while he requires effort and is difficult to comprehend, you may want to read Patanjali’s sutras to see how to contact them. He wrote, for example: ‘by making Samyama on the radiance within the back of the head, one becomes able to see the celestial beings‘.

Food Habits: A Cause of Hunger, War and Artificial Scarcity

Why are we on Earth? In faith-based dogmas, this was answered when there were fewer people and much nature. No longer so; there are many people, and the habitat is under siege.

Do people need an update or a fresh start?

Are we chance effects by comets in oceans, aliens made, or God guided in purgatory?

Embroidering on Anaximander, Leary, Crick and Orgel’s seeding ideas, we may be a rogue part of galactic humanity, isolated due to this world’s excess instability: volcanos, ice, floods, comets, earthquakes, viruses, wars, consumption, pollution, and catastrophic events.

Regardless of past hardships, humanity may soon settle other worlds, like people once explored the oceans, discovering other civilisations, untold riches, technologies, cultures, opportunities for trade.
A new era.

Pyramids as Teletransportation Ports

Being an ancient part of a galactic state may explain why there are pyramids all over Earth.

Differing cultures but similar structures and angles, hidden corridors and chambers, unknown building techniques, energisers of sorts, narrow at tops, huge with strange spaces inside. 

They invite questions. For example, why is Cheops king’s chamber at exactly the intersection of trapped cosmic rays, has an acoustic chamber, and has a narrow shaft pointed at the time to nearby Sirius? (It is useless for a physical body but big enough for a spirit self, water, cats, or lasers.)
And what is in the recently discovered ‘hidden spaces’.
Are they signs of pre-existing global cultures linked to star people or ancient skills?

The Proof of the Pudding is in the Eating

Everybody is familiar with elusive UFOs (or UAPs) shaped according to prevailing fantasies, from stars and cigars to discs.  Are these hallucinations from the collective unconscious?

UFOs seem capable of impossible turns and incredible speeds and disappear in fifth dimensions – in short; they do all those things one would expect from advanced civilisations.

Earth is in the outer arm of the galaxy, lightyears from the galactic centre, which is circling a huge blackhole. We live in a backwater near the edge.
Saying the universe is impossibly old and significant is admitting we are miniscule.

Intelligent microbes. Tiny, compared to cosmic space and time.

Split personalities at that, with interrelated heart and brain functions.

We Create our Own Reality

Like all living things, we can procreate, merge DNA and learn, live in clans, but are so populated we may consume the very thing we are co-dependent on: healthy nature!

While concluding the universe’s purpose is impossible without religious dogma or scientific assumptions, it is clear people are on a journey.

We all have to eat, but how do we behave?

Like dangerous carnivores, more tolerant herbivores, or breatharians? Nature differs in individual behaviour, group size and leadership styles between animal and plant-eaters.

What tells us we are the summit of the tree of life, feeding off nature and encouraged to use other mammals?

It served when the population was low and environment galore, but now? The lesson: a lasting civilisation in this galaxy must be kind and smart, not brutal.
‘Might is right’ jungle law, evolving to ‘might is not bright’ civil guidelines.
Aware caretakers, not marauding carnivore exploiters.
As long as most people consume mammals, cautious aliens will likely not meet.

Humanity urgently needs commitment to plant-based treaties because of population growth, settlement of the Milky Way, and environmental scarcities on Earth. New ethics.
With your support, we can create a brighter future by embracing sustainable living and sharing resources wisely.
Your help is welcome.

About the author
Pieter Verasdonck is a retired writer/painter degreed in business and philosophy, who build resilience, forward planning capacity and income generation in organisations, villages, cities, regions, states and industries working with communities, large and small enterprises, including a decade with NSW Government as Community Economic Development Manager.

A globetrotter in early life, he lives near wilderness in rural Australia, enjoyed decades in EU and US, was schooled near Amsterdam and San Diego, and likes to help integrate humanity into a multi-cultural meritocratic global village, that legalises our co-dependency on healthy nature, thriving through plant-based, inclusive, tolerant, adventurous, environment friendly, sustainable lifestyles. He acknowledges huge Space Age opportunities, but knows a change in ethics is needed, from predators who exploit life on Earth and exoplanets, to considerate gardeners in circular economies and environments on many worlds, harmonious with nature.
