Can you help us understand why we have the current contest with extraterrestrials wanting to control us and what we can do about it?

As we alluded to in the earlier discussion, this is a consequence of the experimentation with negativity and a turning away of the focus from the divine perspective, and looking out into darkness and using the inner creativity to ponder and to begin exploring alternative scenarios. This has been done by you all through time, but there have been times when you have explored the dark and the advent of the totally independent and free human is a recent venture. So there has yet to be a full reckoning with the consequences of the dark exploration that will be coming in the future. But for the time being, you are the pioneers and going through the wilderness to experience firsthand the consequences of bad choices to move in that direction. As you see in your work and have been told in many such discussions as you are having here, the first instigator was the group of the so-called fallen angels who moved away from the light seeking a new and different kind of power and experience, and in doing so created a trap for themselves which lowered them, and then the return became more difficult. And as that worsened, they were driven further away and lost their ability to even see and connect to the light. They are the source of the negativity and suffering you experience as a species. And as you have seen and been told, they have also affected the extraterrestrial beings from your galaxy who are interfering with you. And this is a double dose of their misguided focus, for they are not only undermining humans, but undermine these other beings who then serve as tormentors and manipulators of human. So this is a confluence of negative consequences from taking that path, and the humans have contributed to a small degree in this and have allowed this to enter, but this was a minor transgression compared to the interlopers themselves who are setting about purposefully to subjugate and to make others suffer. This is part of the balance of direction from positive to negative, light to dark, good to bad, and will remain so until it is healed. And this is the current situation and its potential resolution as we will be exploring together.
