"And human civilization has gotten out of hand. It is wild, uncontrolled. It is like a train that is heading to the station, but it has no breaks."
- Nature & Natural Disasters, 9/8/08
"Humanity has great promise and a greater destiny in the universe. But in order for you to fulfill this promise and this destiny, you must meet three requirements. You must be self sufficient. You must be united. And you must be extremely discreet. These are the three requirements for all free nations in the universe. Yet at present, humanity is failing each one of these basic requirements. You are rapidly destroying your self-sufficiency by the mismanagement and overuse of your world’s resources. You are hardly united and still value your conflicts and your distinctions from one another to such a great degree that human unity on a large scale has not yet been established, even in facing critical problems in the world. And you are hardly discreet, broadcasting all of your strengths and weaknesses out into the universe for any discreet observer to see. No advanced technological society broadcasts in this way. That is why you will not find radio signals coming from space because no one who values their security ever broadcasts in such a manner."
