ZetaTalk: Getting High

Note: written on Feb 15, 1996

The desire to forget one's troubles, experience more intense sexual pleasure, or boost one's sense of confidence, via

recreational or even prescription drugs, is not unique to the human animal. Such urges are intrinsic to all life, as why

would they not be? Does not the turtle, feeling the warmth of the Sun's rays, linger longer in that spot? Does not the amoebae, feeling the burn of a caustic, shrink back? Does not the Beta female in a wolf pack, having an opportunity to

break away and become the Alpha female of her own pack, take this opportunity in preference to being in second

place?

The fuss over recreational drugs and alcoholic excesses is not the desire to use, it's the lack of control. Were everyone to stop at two drinks a day, AA would not exist. Were everyone smoking dope to be of age and not returning to work

or driving or operating dangerous machinery or lecturing school children afterwards, who would care? Were cocaine

not addictive and intensely destructive to unborn fetuses and even fatal, during an overdose, why would anyone be

concerned? Does society cast rules regulating how many calories can be consumed, even when obesity kills and might

be considered to be giving children the wrong message? Why is overeating exempt, and smoking dope not? The crux

of the matter is control, as society does not care if its members are miserable or quietly killing themselves, as long as they don't make a fuss or a mess. Getting high makes a mess. The drunk drives on the wrong side of the road and picks

fights with strangers. The pot head fails school and ignores his responsibilities. The crack user breaks and enters in

order to afford his habit, and if he is a she, delivers terribly damaged babies to be cared for by the state. Messy.

We, the Service-to-Other Zetas, in line with our 4th Density lessons, routinely avoid mind altering substances, as this

avoids, rather than addresses, the issue. If one is in pain, the individual is not alone in seeking relief, as all are concerned that this be so. If one lacks confidence, they are given encouragement and offers of assistance. Avoiding

problems does not resolve them. Humans, in their 3rd Density existence, find many of their problems intractable, and

to be borne in silent agony. It is this that is the driver behind excesses of drug and alcohol use, and this is what should be addressed as a solution.

ZetaTalk: Junk Food

Note: written on Feb 15, 1996

Humans often dream about what they like to call a perfect world - no need to work, sleep until noon, anything they

want to eat or drink, limitless sex, and no rules regarding indulgences of any kind. They strive toward this, reducing

their work time and increasing their play time, and moving the menu in the direction of the fun foods, desert first. A

lack of exercise, which at first feels good because one feels rested rather than weary, can result in a very unhealthy body. Likewise, fun foods, a.k.a. junk food, can be just as destructive. Junk food is just too much of a good thing.

Cave men lingered longer at the berry patch because the berries were sweet, and thus got their dose of vitamin C. They

ate fat laden foods with gusto, and thus stocked up on calories before the lean times set in. And they ate anything salty they could get their hands on, because they were always on the edge of being depleted, especially when inland rather than along the shore.

But cave men were kept in check by their harrowing existence. Overindulgence was the least of their worries.

Civilization has in essence allowed man to follow his appetite, unchecked. If sweets taste good, then indulge into

diabetes or hypoglycemia. If fat foods taste better than lean, then indulge into obesity and cardiovascular disease. If

salt puts zing into food, then apply the shaker until your blood pressure sky rockets. Only when health is shattered do

most humans take notice. For those who have more than occasional access to junk foods, or even sweet, rich, or salty

staples, common sense should be given at least equal billing. Think of how awful you'll feel if fat, apoplectic, and in

the grip of blood sugar swings. Drink too much and you have a quick lesson in the comeuppance that a hangover

provides. Junk food has a longer curve, but the comeuppance can plunge your life into the grip of misery which won't

be cured in a day.

ZetaTalk: Pets

Note: written on Oct 15, 1996

Humans keep pets for multiple reasons, but primarily as substitutes for human contact. Pets are more predictable, more

easily controlled, and beyond any natural bond of affection that develops between pet owner and pet, they can be

trained to react in what can be interpreted to be a warm and friendly response. They invariably prove to be good
