On “Mitzvahs” and Demanding the Impossible

Joseph Burkes MD 2025

On another social media page, an important question was asked, “What would they (“ETs”) have to gain by associating with us?” A possible answer was supplied during a contact download I received in 1994. During that psychic experience akin to channeling, I saw in my mind’s eye a female ET. She conveyed a message that answered the question. She clearly and forcefully stated that it was a religious duty that commands them to help us as an expression of their love for God. 

I was raised in an agnostic Jewish household. Although my parents hardly ever stepped into a synagogue, they understood the meaning of the word “mitzvah.” According to Wikipedia it can be described this way:

 “Hebrew mitzvah, as with English “commandment”, refers to a moral deed performed within a religious duty. As such, the term mitzvah has also come to express an individual act of human kindness in keeping with the law. The expression includes a sense of heartfelt sentiment beyond mere legal duty, as “you shall love your neighbor as yourself” (Leviticus 19:18).

The prominent researcher Mr. Grant Cameron has interviewed hundreds of contact experiencers. One reportedly gave him the following message from the so-called ETs. “We are one with the One Who is All.”

As difficult as it might be for me, as one that worked for decades within the paradigm of Western scientific materialism, I find myself attracted to the spiritual component of what is purported to be messages from “star people.” The challenge now, for me and my companions in various contact/disclosure networks, is to discover how we might share this controversial message with the larger society. 

I have envisioned the creation of a spiritually based social movement that over several centuries might be able to save our civilization from destruction. I imagine that at this time such a project will be a dubious mission for all but a few people who might learn of it. Nevertheless, it is my hope that by linking the flying saucer phenomenon with possible solutions to what appear to be the unsurmountable challenges facing humanity, a future international social movement cam be created, It will be one that just might  unite the planet on the basis of environmental and social justice. This in my judgment, will set the stage for direct and open relations with whatever ET civilization might be contacting us.

I am certain that this long-term project will initially be seen by both terrestrial masses and their ruling classes as a “crazy impossible wish dream.” Given the world situation, the creation of such a massive campaign appears to be totally unrealistic and indeed impossible. We should keep in mind however the following spiritual/psychosocial analysis: 

In world ruled by the collective ego, one in which selfishness, greed and even cruelty are part of the expected norm, no effective program is being carried out to limit the devastating effects of climate change. Future generations, which include my grandchildren now three and six years old, will likely be faced with rising oceans, increased floods, droughts, resultant famines and wars fought over dwindling material resources. For this generation of children  and all those that follow , I suggest that the following slogan be shouted loudly, so that all might hear. “We are realists! We demand the “Impossible”!

Comments:

A commenter stated that what I propose sounds like a call for another UFO religion. Here is my reply:
The message that I received from an alleged ET should not be accepted on face value. What I am proposing is not a new religion, (unless politics is a secular religion) but something along the lines of a peace movement. In the civil rights movement and anti-Vietnam War movement of the 1960s there were many priests, nuns, chaplains and other people with strong religious views and deeds, but our social movements were secular.
