If aliens arrived tomorrow, what’s the first thing you’d ask them?

In much the same way as the old Hopi saying asserts that we are the ones we’ve been waiting for; awakening to communication with ETs is a real perceptible experience intended for We The People.
That being said, they’re already here and have been around a lot longer than we have.
Akin to the end of the recent Steven Spielberg film, Disclosure Day, it isn’t about what I would ask them, it’s more about heeding their invitational callback by stepping into our power by stepping up to Cosmic Consciousness . . .
Listen.
And you can’t listen if you’re talking at the same time. It’s a cold hard fact of life.
Telepathy and empathy go together.
If we listen and are open to what the present moment has to communicate with us, then an interdependent form of coregulative and collaborative communication will take place.
Truly, a Harmonic Convergence, so to speak.
Or like encounters with animal spirits, this happens when fear is not present. Otherwise, they will leave us alone.
Besides, seeing animal tracks reveals that the animals are around; if not directly as evidenced by our field of vision. Same with ETs.
Many of you already know what they would say to us:
As in, our future selves only exist so long as we survive and make the quantum leap into our next level of consciousness by walking into the reality of planetary and universal peace.
What we do to one strand affects the whole Web of Life, as American Chief Seattle said.
Or like the story told about the ET that responded to the late Army Lieutenant Colonel Philip J. Corso’s query, “what’s in it for me?”.
To Wit: the ET responded by saying, “a new world if you can take it.”
May All Beings Be Free From Suffering And Awaken To Planetary & Universal Peace. And So It Is And So It Will Be.

Check out this newly created experimental AI Podcast feature that aligns with my writing, compliments of WordPress.
Full Disclosure: Truly, I do take pride in my writing, and have yet to use AI for the written word. However, I have been having fun with playing around with AI for illustrations.
This podcast version of 1 of my more recent writings stars 2 AI created characters named Pip and Mara.
Please enjoy the podcast & transcript below:
Pip: Classroom Mothership Earth — where the daily writing prompt is “come up with a crazy business idea” and the answer turns out to be: civilization, but better.
Mara: Ari Joshua Bouse takes that prompt seriously, and today we’re following the thread — from a vision of shared consciousness and cooperative economics to what it actually looks like to clear space, inside and out.
Pip: Let’s start with the business idea itself.

A Crazy Business Idea For Co-creating A Beautiful New World
Mara: The post opens with a genuine question: what does an economy look like when the underlying operating system shifts — when interconnection is the default, not the exception?
Pip: And the answer isn’t a product or a pitch deck. It’s a paradigm. The post lays out what falls away when people genuinely feel their connection to each other.
Mara: The list is specific: “the institutionalized isms, trashing the park, wars, violence, gang banging, organized crime, the so called legitimate maximum-economic profit capitalist conditioning, economic strangulations, and the need to control each other fades away, and is released into a black hole in the Universe.”
Pip: That’s a sentence doing a lot of heavy lifting — and the point underneath it is real. The argument is that these patterns aren’t permanent features of human nature; they’re symptoms of a particular kind of disconnection.
Mara: Right, and the post is careful to say it doesn’t get killed or die — it transforms. The balloon metaphor follows: letting go of a thought form so it floats away, rather than fighting it.
Pip: There’s a friend in the piece who’s been sober from the news for over a year and reports genuine levity — less charge around politics, less reactive energy. That’s offered as a small proof of concept.
Mara: The post connects that to The Celestine Prophecy — James Redfield’s intention, quoted directly, was to inspire readers to “reclaim their power from dominant authorities and dysfunctional relationships: not via political or legal action but through a personalized spirituality that portrays life as a meaningful journey toward self-actualization.”
Pip: So the crazy business idea is essentially: skip the legal filing, go straight to the consciousness upgrade.
Mara: The post also gets concrete about physical space — imagining trash compressed in a way that literally opens up room, turning what looked like a landfill into ground for new growth. It’s the same logic applied materially.
Pip: And the T’ai Chi section earns its place. Professor Cheng’s instruction to “be like a ghost” — to create spaciousness — maps directly onto the economic argument: lead, follow, listen, don’t force.
Mara: The upshot is that cooperative competition, in this frame, isn’t naive. It’s more like push hands than a zero-sum match — sensitive to the other’s energy, not trying to overpower it.
Pip: Which makes the closing meditation clip feel less like an appendix and more like the actual deliverable.
Mara: That thread — from inner clearing to outer structure — is what the whole piece is building toward.

Pip: Clear the space, transform the pattern, don’t fight the balloon — it’s a coherent through-line once you follow it.
Mara: More from Classroom Mothership Earth next time.
