Darok's Diatribes.

I am Darok, a Martian who has been living on Earth longer than some of you have been alive. I am but one of many agents, as I have explained before. I have given you a quick resume' of my life here in previous articles. We take on identities so that we can blend seamlessly into your society. Whatever stage of development your society has been at, we have been here. Quietly living out our lives and observing you from the shadows. We live lives just like any Earth person. We marry, we work, we even have children, we study, we practice faith, we use your tech, some of which has been driven forward by our intervention.

We report back to and sometimes visit Mars in vehicles you call UAPS/UFOs. You have sent your probes and your orbiters to our world to discover if life ever existed or exists now on Mars. We are allowing you, bit by bit, to discover that our planet was once like your Earth. However, like you are doing now, we ruined the surface world through war, consumerism, materialism, and disregard for the flora and fauna of our world. However, we retreated deep underground and created an alternative world. A civilisation based on spirituality and with more mindful tech, so that we work with nature, not against it. Your probes are allowed to know so much about our world, but we cannot let you know everything. That would be giving too much away. We will reveal ourselves to you and on your planet when you are ready. However, for all the tech you have developed, you are still like little children. You have much to learn, and though you show promise, you are nearer to the abyss than you realise. You labour all week, you relax on what you call the weekend, by intoxicating yourself with drink and drugs, you engage in harmful behaviour of various sorts, thinking this is fun. You are taught to have a job, a house, a car, get married and have children, and take holidays. And yet, for all this, you are still not happy. Material things and a hedonistic lifestyle may bring you joy for a short time. However, the Creator designed you to be more than this, but will you realise this?

We realised this a long time ago, and we hope you will too. You may wonder why we show such concern for an alien species like you. It is because our story is so similar to yours. We have been where you have been. If you were to truly see us, you would realise we look similar to you. our planets exchanged rocks hurled into space that cross-pollinated both Earth and Mars. Therefore, Earth gave rise to similar lifeforms that exist/existed on Mars. Life got started on Mars quicker than it did on Earth. Hence, we are more spiritually and technologically advanced than you. You may reach the point where we are today. Conversely, you may not, a civilisation, can go either way, rise or fall. We chose to rise, but we could have fallen. When we saw what we had done to our world, our people, our plant and animal life, what was left of us changed. Today, we live in line with the creator of the universe in a sustainable underground paradise. And believe me, if you were to see it, a place of crystal cities interspersed with flora and fauna, you would love it, you would not want to come back to Earth.

You are capable of such things, but right now, you Earthers are living perilously. So you either change or you perish. We could force you to change, but that is not our way. The future lies before you; what you do with that future is on you.
