with you a question that we need to ask ourselves continuously: to which extent are we prepared to accept the truth? We assimilate in accordance with our beliefs, our fears and our con- victions, even our scientific ones. Ultimately, and that is the most wea at toeoat 1 wet 4 important part, the truth comes only to those who search for it and who make an effort to question themselves over and over again. With- out that quest the taste of the truth will not make any sense. Is not the quest for the absolute all about evolution? There is a link between ETs and this universal quest. Why should we establish such a link? For the simple reason that our need to decipher the mysteries of beings thought to be more advanced than we, the ETs, also applies to them. In other words, the ETs pursue their own quest of what is supe- rior. This is why the upcoming worldwide contact is but one step towards an even greater destination for us. The principle according to which “one is always someone's predator” shows us that there are sev- eral degrees of evolution, including among those who are currently beyond our scope of analysis and parameters. The evolutionary degrees of nature as we presently conceive them are not a view of the mind, but a tangible reality. Whether we study nature from the angle of the composition of its elements, its structure, its reproduction, its creatures or its social structure, the key word is the growth complexity of life. This complexity goes hand in hand with the amount of information processed by a system or a series of systems of which man is a significant example. However, this life form called man should not blind us, even if the functioning of the human brain remains enigmatic and miraculous. This complexity is the reality of a universal need present in all its dimensions. This fundamental com- plexity is the path of consciousness and freedom. In fact, the greater the freedom, the more expansive consciousness is and conversely. The more we discover, the more we access new means of discovery. History has proven so over and over again. Where does this consciousness and freedom end? What are the limits? Are there any? These are the exact questions the ETs will have to ask themselves. Why should it be any different for them? As long as the mystery remains, any creature will search for and advance towards the absolute! However, a single word does not encompass its entire meaning. The most astounding fact is that this quest for the absolute justifies in itself the theory of the existence of ETs. Independent of cosmogonies, be they religious or not, once the dogmatic ignorance has been purged, transi- tional stages preceding the absolute must be “incarnated” by other life
