Note: before reading this blog, it might be an idea to visit the loo and then put on a cuppa. It’s lengthy… but worth a read.
What would happen if a cosmological being was sent on a mission to visit Earth, morph into human form and then report back on its observations? This is how it might read…
During my visit to Earth, the strange behaviours I observed led me to question human sanity. Here’s what I unravelled…
Many humans in ‘advanced’ western cultures are pre-occupied with money. The more they get, the more they spend. Most appear to spend more than they have, then borrow more money from institutions that charge more money to do so. This is called debt. Most of these institutions are very wealthy because they have little regard for humanity. Then humans have to work harder to get more money to pay back the debt. Confused? I was!
It appears that these problems are caused by greed – a condition where many humans and institutions desire more than they need.
Because many humans work long hours, they have less time to relax and be with their loved ones. To counter this, they wait until they retire (which means they stop working when they are older) so they can relax and have more time with loved ones. But in the meantime many become agitated, develop a condition called stress and suffer from deteriorating health. This often results in relationships falling apart and then there’s no loved one to spend time with.
To relieve their agitation they put many peculiar things into their bodies including a liquid substance called alcohol, which causes blindness if consumed undiluted. To prevent blindness, they mix in other liquids to dilute the alcohol. This has strange effects on their bodies and their behaviour, including unusual speech patterns, hysterical laughing, shrieking, crying, losing balance and becoming aggressive. One of the by-products of this alcohol epidemic is an abnormal amount of violence and vehicular accidents – except most are not accidents because they are preventable.
I asked many humans why they drink this liquid and they told me they do it to relax or have fun. When I asked what was preventing them from relaxing or having fun without alcohol, they didn’t appear to know.
Some said it brought out their true personality, so I asked why they needed alcohol to do that. They did not know. Some said they drank to escape. “Escape from what?” I asked. “A meteor shower, tsunami or avalanche?” It appears that they use alcohol to escape from themselves. But why?
After drinking alcohol, many humans feel very sick and make solemn vows called ‘never agains’. But alcohol must affect memory, because believe it or not, within a short space of time they are back at it.
There are also huge, wealthy organisations where toxic chemicals are blended with crushed dried leaves and the mixture packed into small paper cylinders. Around a billion humans pay trillions of dollars to light the cylinders and suck in the poisonous smoke, which damages their respiratory systems and causes various illnesses, often ending their lives prematurely.
Most humans know this is bad for them, but they choose to continue and would rather sacrifice their lives than cease to suck in chemical-laced smoke. This is where the term ‘sucked in’ comes from.
There is also a leafy plant which many dry, then pack it into paper cylinders or glass vessels. They light the substance and breathe the smoke in deeply. The effect is zombie-like behaviour smattered with outbursts of uncontrollable laughter. Consistent use results in diminished brain function and delusions for which many require small tablets for the remainder of their lives in an attempt to balance this condition.
Some inject a liquid made from poppy flowers directly into their blood stream while others sniff powder through their noses. When asked why, a common response was “It’s OK, it’s natural.”
When I mentioned that snake venom and strychnine are natural, so why not sniff or smoke them, there was no response (apart from one human who said he would ‘give it a go’ – but he passed out before that was possible).
No-one is forced into these rituals. It is a choice that many consider to be quite normal because others do the same. Why do they follow each other to self-destruction?
Yet this was only the beginning of my discoveries…
Governments (a group of humans who are elected by fellow humans to manage their countries) contribute to this cycle of violence, death and devastation. This occurs because governments have a vested interest from collecting lucrative taxes on the white cylinders and billions of litres of alcohol that humans pour down their throats.
Ironically, much of the money is needed to pay for more nurses, doctors, hospitals and rehabilitation centres to help these ill-fated humans.
Meanwhile, other government agencies continue to approve more licences to sell more alcohol and permit longer drinking hours. Should it not be reversed? Go figure! (That’s an Earth term meaning “What the?!”)
Then there are non-alcoholic drinks laced with sugar and caffeine. Television screens tell humans these drinks will boost energy. That is not true. These drinks give a false boost of energy for a brief time, only for the human to experience a fall when it wears off. This eventually results in the collapse of the human energy system.
Governments also have other ways to raise funds. In many of the buildings where humans drink alcohol, there are many rows of machines adorned with flashing lights and sounds to attract donors. Humans put money into the machines hoping they will receive more back than they put in. But this is impossible because the venues and governments ‘take’ a percentage of the contributions.
From ‘the take’, huge buildings have been built to house even more machines. In America, a religious group and crime syndicates developed a city called Las Vegas from ‘the take’. Every year, millions of humans go there to donate their money and drink alcohol.
Some humans become elected members of government so they can make heartfelt decisions to serve fellow humans. Yet most eventually make decisions according to the will of the group they have aligned with. Their intention to help humanity dissipates. What becomes more important is retaining power at the expense of what is right and fair for all.
Some humans are considered beautiful because they have symmetrical facial structures (compliments of the lucky sperm club). ‘Beautiful’ humans are often acclaimed by other humans. I found it quite odd how humans praise other humans’ bone proportions.
Many ‘beautiful’ people are used as mobile clothes hangers to display various garments.
Some ‘beautiful’ people are involved in a vocation called acting where they mimic others and appear in movies that are beamed onto large screens. An annual contest determines the best actors and the best films, but only those associated with the acting industry vote. Humans who watch the movies do not. The real reason for the competition is to dress up, be noticed and praised.
Many actors are very wealthy, yet insecure, although idolised by numerous humans. This is most peculiar, particularly as those who teach children and care for humans in hospitals receive little recognition and are paid very little.
Humans have even de-nourished their own food supply. Crops and food have been modified and controlled by large corporations who seek to make huge profits. Most of the Earth’s population has lost its natural vitality. Many humans are either very large or very small.
Eating has become an obsession in developed countries where cooks become celebrities. Believe it or not, they even compete on the television to see who can make the best meal.
I also came across extremely wealthy corporations involved in producing small tablets which assist humans to sustain their lives and give them relief from illnesses, diseases and anxiety… most of which are self-inflicted. Many humans in poor countries are denied access to the tablets because they do not have money. But the companies have more money than they need.
I was beginning to despair as I continued to ask myself, “Are humans insane?”
But I was looking forward to attending one of Earth’s biggest events called the Olympic Games which occur every four years, where humans from countries around the world gather together to play games, also known as sport. Initial reports indicated it was a celebration of unity. But that was not the reality.
What I saw was a commercial monolith focused on politics, image, lucrative sponsorship and television profits. From the thousands of humans who participated there were winners, and there were many others called losers. I felt the despair of many of the losers who did not perform to a preconceived standard after torturing their bodies for four years to prepare for the competition. If this event represents global unity, then what is left? Where else can humans find true harmony?
This concept of winning is unique to humans. Winning means beating or triumphing over another. It may not mean hurting another physically – although the effect can be emotionally devastating, resulting in ongoing behavioural problems.
A popular activity many humans engage in is hitting a green sphere over a fence with an object that looks like a musical instrument called a banjo. Known as tennis, there appears to be much love in this game, because they repeat the word regularly. But there is not. The person who wins the last point is the winner. That person feels elated while the other does not. There are four major global tennis events each year. At each there is a male and a female winner who feel elated and another 254 humans who do not.
This is common to most sports.
Other activities include boxing and martial arts, where rowdy humans yell and scream to encourage the participants to hurt each other (similar to football).
Winning extends further. Leaders of some countries like to be winners, so they declare war on other countries. A boundary (an imaginary line on the ground) is often the catalyst for fighting, torture, death and misery. Even humans within their own countries kill each other and leaders turn armed soldiers against fellow citizens.
I saw wars fought over oil, greed, power and religion. Some leaders of countries with weapons of mass destruction say other countries cannot have those weapons, or they will attack them. Yet it appears to me that even though these leaders may triumph, they are indeed losers.
Even language is changed to dehumanise atrocities. Instead of saying, “We attacked an enemy and also murdered other innocent humans who had no involvement”, they now say “There was collateral damage.”
I saw large, gentle creatures called whales slaughtered in the name of science, while governments lacked the courage to stand up against the executioners. I also saw revolutionaries on the high seas using aggression and intimidation against other humans to ‘protect’ these non-violent animals. Is this not ironic?
There is so much more to report, however, enough is enough. It is time to present my conclusions…
On Earth I saw greed, corruption, obesity, malnutrition, disease, loneliness, disrespect, envy, disregard, anger, violence, murder, abuse, control, manipulation, separation and more extraordinary abnormal behaviour.
Many humans live in ‘hope’, but the reality is that hope is futile because it is an intangible somewhere in the future. And the future, like tomorrow and like hope, will never come; it is always distant.
But more importantly is ‘NOW’, and ‘now’ is the place where I eventually unravelled the questions I had about humanity.
It was easy to see what was wrong on Earth, but I needed to be more vigilant to seek what was true. I realised I had focused on what humans did, rather than who they truly are. I had neglected to genuinely connect and be totally present with humans when I communicated with them.
And then when I did, something magical happened. I looked into human eyes and I saw sadness, despair, fear, resignation and sometimes almost nothing. Yet there was something else I saw – a flicker, a glow.
In a moment of revelation I recognised that within every single human on Earth, even the most disturbed, is a light: an inner-fire just waiting to be kindled. For some the light is dull, for others it is a bright glow radiating out and touching others.
That light is Love.
Most humans have chosen to build protective shields to hide their light. They appear to be continually dousing water onto a fire that refuses to go out.
Humans feel hurt from an absence of love. Yet ironically, their natural essence is love, which is omnipresent from childhood. But humans shut it down and deny loving themselves. Hence the hurt and the abnormal destructive behaviours I saw on Earth.
Ironically, by doing so, they are missing out on a life of constant joy.
Love is the most powerful and unifying agent in the universe. And no matter how many reject it or fight against it, love is expanding on planet Earth right now.
More and more humans around the planet have made the choice to discard the abnormal, unloving lives they previously lived and instead, now live with self-care, compassion, brotherhood, service, love and freedom.
The changes in their lives have inspired others to live with love and discover how wonderful life really is. In turn, more humans will be inspired and so it will continue.
So to answer the question, “Are humans insane?” the answer is “No”.
Humans have simply lost their way without comprehending how much love and potential they hold within.
Insane? No.
A little crazy? Yes.

Richard just caught what you are saying
‘The Kingdom of Love is within…’ us all.
Didn’t Jeshua say something similar of 2,000 years ago? Wow we are very slow on the uptake of his teachings.
Very well expressed Alison we have become so fixated in our own navel gazing that we are lost to the rot of humanity. As long as we the individual are okay then nothing else matters. This is why we are all experiencing this gross condition we then call life.
I really the appreciate the humor and what you have exposed…
‘Because many humans work long hours, they have less time to relax and be with their loved ones. To counter this, they wait until they retire (which means they stop working when they are older) so they can relax and have more time with loved ones. But in the meantime many become agitated, develop a condition called stress and suffer from deteriorating health. This often results in relationships falling apart and then there’s no loved one to spend time with.’
I am old enough to have witnessed this phenonium for myself amongst my friends, it’s crazy but true.
When all put together it does sound absolutely crazy. But when we get down to the reasoning behind it all it’s very simple. When not Love we are everything but love.
This is cracker Rod, an incredible exposé that gives us insight into what’s going on. Once all the rot was revealed, and I was shocked still in my body reading it, you bring in the true truth, that there is Love inside all of us that can be kindled. It takes but one spark to ignite a bushfire, who’s flames can burn across a country side, changing all and clearing the way. We are and all can be that fire, it’s time we set our heart ablaze.
When we zoom out and look at life from the bigger perspective and in its universal context, what we have generated in terms of a life model simply doesn’t make sense and would be laughable if it weren’t so concerning and so horrifically unloving in every minute detail.
Love this road map of the many ways that humanity has lost it way and forgotten the love that we all are. Recognising this craziness and having the willingness to make changes offers us all the opportunity to transform our lives if we so choose.
To live or give energy to hope is to deny or dismiss what is being offered in the present. It is a get out clause from not living the truth of who we are.
The justification of atrocities beggars belief so what do do about that? Look the other way and pretend because it is not on our doorstep that it does not affect us? The sadness you mention seeing in people tells me that we have tried doing that and it isn’t working. So perhaps it is time we employed a deeper level of honesty so we can accept what we have accepted that is not decent of respectful, let alone loving, to our fellow man and in doing so change our behaviour. If we can contemplate the possibility that how we are in our own lives will have a ripple effect in the world, then why wouldn’t you give that a go?
It seems we try to squash ourselves into whichever box will have us accepted and loved. It is only when we do not look outside of ourselves for that acceptance and love that we can truly know what we would like to do for our work, rest and play.
What a great question:
‘Where else can humans find true harmony?’ Looking outside hasn’t worked so far, only inside ourselves we can find true harmony and nature can reflect it to us.
Human beings don’t want to give up on their individuality and deny the power they have inside and the wisdom and love they can access in themselves.
After reading all the crazy things we do as human beings it sure is reassuring to read the truth about the power of love:
‘Love is the most powerful and unifying agent in the universe. And no matter how many reject it or fight against it, love is expanding on planet Earth right now.’
Yes – when pointed out objectively it would appear that humanity is insane. The way we behave simply doesn’t make sense. We have to be brave, we have to consider that everything is energy and if everything is energy, everything is because of energy and therefore in aligning to an energy, it is this energy that is impulsing our behaviours. The good news is that there are two impulsing energies to align to. Would it not be worth deeply considering what they are and being honest about why we have collectively chosen the harmful one?
Rod, I always love coming back to reading this blog. ‘Humans feel hurt from an absence of love. Yet ironically, their natural essence is love, which is omnipresent from childhood.’ If we can connect back to this then it would make sense that much of how we choose to live that doesn’t work would simply disappear.
I agree Rachel Rod has summed up the human race in a few words. WE are missing the absence of love something we knew as children but lost the connection as we grew up. Society is set up in such a way that if anyone steps out of line to live from the love they know they are innately from, they are vilified and are treated as outcasts. This has been happening since day dot. There are unwritten rules that Rod has exposed that allows us to indulge in what ever takes our fancy but do not reconnect back to your soul.
Indeed it makes no sense to go against our whole body intelligence and yet it appears the mind is able to make some very not so intelligent choices to abuse the body it is housed in.
Jennym has humanity ever stopped to consider who is controlling our minds? Or, are we kept in perpetual motion so there is no time to stop and consider where our thoughts come from.
And there are those who are True Students of The Way of The Livingness all they do is be a divine reflection for others, thus sharing True Light!
It would appear that humans are energetically pre-programmed by the social systems to be ‘insane’ in order to continually override the natural way of being from very early on in life – these become fixed ideals and beliefs handed down through generations and accepted as ‘normal’.
It is great to write that Love is Expanding on Earth, because this brings in the science of Love and as such, raises questions about what Love actually is.
And now it seems that ‘vaping’ is on every street corner, we have 3 ‘vape’ shops on our high street and the perception is that it’s not as bad as smoking but is it? Or is it the same thing just with different packaging.
It is true, however, this world will never make sense for the fact that we are here is totally contrary to the everything the universe has told us. Only when we return will we ‘make sense’.
Brilliant blog to re-visit Rod – How strange it must look form the alien perspective living love to visit earth and see the plethora of the very strange things humans do to deny the love that is awaiting to be re-claimed within.
Yes, bizarre behaviour it must appear, and is, ‘very strange things humans do to deny the love that is awaiting to be re-claimed within.’
Brilliant blog to re-visit Rod – How strange it must look form the alien perspective living love to visit earth and see the plethora of the very strange things humans do to deny the love that is awaiting to be re-claimed within.
Thank you Rod – There are wonderful gems throughout this blog – meeting others in their essence, not judging them by how they are or what they do is the kindling that lights the inner fire once more.
