Has the Zeta culture changed over time? Most certainly. We were once more war prone, rising to the slightest
challenge and letting nothing slide. In this regard, this is the one characteristic of the giant hominoids who inhabit the 12th Planet that is most like our ancient selves. The remnants of this culture can be seen within us, as even today we do not, as you say, roll over easy. We defend ourselves, some would say vigorously. Our culture has moved over its
life, steadfastly in the direction of supporting scientific research, as this is a pastime we all enjoy immensely. Some cultures, as the Pleiadeans, have always placed a strong value on social functions, giving them priority over almost all activities. As this is something they enjoy immensely this has, if anything, grown in importance for them as time went on. Consequently, the Pleiadeans frequently act as greeters for new galactic citizens, and are here on Earth acting in this capacity now.

ZetaTalk: Cultured Aliens
Note: written May 15, 1996.
What humans variously describe as culture covers a magnitude of aspects - dress, posture, language, knowledge of
significant or trivial details, and awareness of color and sound. In general, culture in a human society is deemed to be the summation of tradition, and in particular the traditions of the idle and privileged upper classes who have time to spend on such matters. Do alien cultures reveal what the alien group holds dear - their intellectual pursuits, their regard for one another, or their escape mechanisms? Most certainly, just as human cultures are revealing.
Rigid human societies reflect the rigidities in their culture, which limit innovative art or music and prize regimented expression in the traditional mode. Primitive human societies reflect their mean and impoverished existence by a
simplistic culture, with overtones of grief and despondency in their music and the distraction of bright colors in their artwork. Where daring and physical skill are valued the culture will reflect this by ritualizing feats, such as the rodeos in the American west. Cultures also reflect a society's fears, where the stories told again and again are doing far more than simply entertaining, they are acting as a catharsis. Threats in the form of large carnivores or violent weather are overcome, but sometimes at the self-sacrifice of a hero. Here the catharsis includes relief at the outcome but also a sense of grief, allowing the audience a safety valve for personal grief. Thus in human societies the culture may include many such opportunities, the choice of entertainment driven by inexpressible emotions which need an outlet.
Alien cultures, likewise, reflect their social order and physical environment. An intelligent life form on a water planet may find a water dance that incorporates motions reminiscent of self defense maneuvers during strong tides, finding a catharsis in reliving and resolving the anxieties this situation presents for them. An intelligent life form that can take flight and is devastated when unable to do so may incorporate entertainment that includes a flightless member being
protected or sheltered in some manner by the others in the flock. Is this then entertainment, or a reflection of the life circumstances? Hominoid cultures regularly reflect the various emotions engendered by their dexterous ability to
manipulate their circumstances. Mystery novels replete with motives and clues, all possible for hominoids who can
manipulate their environments in intricate and varied ways. Likewise, all hominoid cultures reflect their highly
interactive social structure, with the many opportunities to rescue and/or defend or, alternatively, desert and/or savage, their fellows.
Are the alien visitors to Earth cultured? Most certainly, as where there is intelligent life circumstances will be reflected in a culture. All intelligent life is thus cultured.

ZetaTalk: Alien Interactions
Note: written by Jul 15, 1995.
With those groups who operate in the Service-to-Others orientation we, the Zetas, are in close, daily, if not momentary coordination. The nature of our interaction is primarily coordination. We don't typically work hand-in-hand, and the reason for that is that this does not make the best use of either our skills or our organizations. Recall that Service-to-Others groups become very tightly interwoven mentally, with much telepathic communication. An elite corps in the
military trains and becomes proficient in part because they know each other and their normal operating procedure so
well. Just so, groups operating in the Service-to-Others find this has happened to them, also. We are able to anticipate what the others in the group are going to need, and be there for them even before they express this need. This would not happen as readily with strangers. Therefore, we are all most efficient if we work in our familiar groups. There is much work to be done, and as the saying goes, we could clone ourselves. Of course, we do clone ourselves, but it is not just more bodies that are needed, but more of what fills them.

ZetaTalk: Social Structure
Note: written May 15, 1996.
In any group in the Service-to-Other orientation there are leaders and followers, as for a great number of reasons no two entities are evenly balanced in their capabilities at any given point in time. One may be a leader in one instance, yet a follower in another. One may appear to be a follower but by their counsel and support in fact be quietly leading.
All these scenarios are familiar to humans, who know that titles can be misleading and relationships complex. But
humans are accustomed to these subtleties taking second place to titles, as without titles and the responsibilities and authority that accompany titles, how are strangers to know how to relate? Given an everyday situation, where a water main has burst, how to handle this unless one can call the city water department and, if need be, demand to speak to the superintendent. In Service-to-Other groups in 4th Density or above, telepathy or soul-to-soul communication
replaces what humans see as the only means of reaching the person responsible for fixing broken water mains. Without a phone book, a title, a name, and an organization chart - humans would not know who to contact.
In Service-to-Other groups, where an entity has volunteered and others have pledged their support, all are aware of who to contact and, in fact, there is no need to pick up the phone. Thus, titles or a formal social structure is not only unnecessary, it would inhibit the free flow of adaptation to changing circumstances. Therefore, we dispense with them.

ZetaTalk: Rituals
Note: written May 15, 1996.
Rituals comfort, as they are formalized routines and have predictable results. In an uncertain world, life often follows such routines simply because of the comfort predictability brings. Change, even change for the better, brings anxiety.
Thus the lowly crab may pause before entering a dark crevasse in a rock, routinely, finding that this extra moment to scan the path ahead comforts.
Done repeatedly, a routine becomes ritualized. Humans speak of rituals in the context of religion, as religious rituals, but their lives are fairly riddled with rituals that occur daily, weekly, or in any case frequently. Start with the morning routine. Why should the newspaper be read routinely over coffee and not at other times during the day? Someone
used
to this ritual finds a morning cup of coffee without the news lacking, feels uncomfortable, and may even dress and
leave the house in order to buy a paper so the ritual will be complete. Males are expected to open doors for females, a rule established due to the expectation that the woman may be with child, or have an infant in her arms, but this
routine is frequently ritualized so that a burdened male will put down his parcels to open the door for a free handed and hale female.
Rituals may start as routines, but become rituals when they become absolute rules. Where the ritual is self imposed, as in obsessive compulsive behavior, any argument over the nature and necessity for the ritual is with oneself. Religious rituals develop to assist the religious elite in maintaining control over their flocks. There can be no encroachment of the rules, as first a ritual must be broken. Controlling rituals are very much in use within Service-to-Self alien groups, so much so that almost every motion is within some ritualized behavior. One might imagine that such an activity as
piloting a space ship would be procedurized, but unlike what humans might expect, an alien pilot in the Service-to-Self orientation may not break the routine, even for good cause. To change the ritualized behavior would be stepping outside of the control of the overlords, who would rather lose a ship than lose control.

ZetaTalk: Music
Note: written Jun 15, 1996.
Life is rhythm, from the surging and regularity of heart beats to the repetitive swishing motion of a traveling snake or the vibration of beating wings in flight. Living things take comfort in rhythm, as in this they find a reassurance that life is as it should be. Catastrophes have irregular rhythm, the thump of a falling object or the steady screech of tearing rock or roots as a tree uproots. Beyond rhythm, harmonies exist in nature, in life itself. Breathing and heartbeats are syncopated, the balancing swing of limbs on animals in motion forms a syncopation to pounding hoofs or paws, and
even the surging blood carries a syncopation in the thub-dub of the heart valves. Harmony, which mankind takes to be tones, is nothing more than vibration frequencies, either in syncopation with each other or clashing. Clashing is
distressful, and syncopation soothing, so music that combines the two is found to be relaxing. First the clash, then the syncopation, so in the end comes the resolution that life finds soothing. All life thus has music, on all worlds, though the tones might not be those humans can hear.

ZetaTalk: Sexual Variations
Note: written Oct 15, 1996.
Bisexuality is the most common form of sexuality in the Universe, emerging due to the obvious - if one wants to form a new genetic entity from various DNA samples, mixing two DNA samples together will do it. In fact, any life form
that does not combine into new variations will die out, unable to withstand the environmental variables that it sooner or later encounters. Inbred gene pools likewise are susceptible to disease or heritable diseases, as zoo keepers are acutely aware. This ability of the mixing gene pool to survive is the reason that DNA most often has two strands. Those life forms that had but a single strand did not survive to reproduce, and life forms with more than two strands were prone to genetic flaws during the parting and re-merging phase of conception. Thus bisexuality is the most common form,
followed by the ability of the life form to clone itself.
The Earth is an example of the great number of sexual variations that can emerge. But whether the new offspring is the result of an intense and devoted coupling, pairing for life, or a casual encounter where insects swarm or fish mingle their deposit on the bottom of the pond, the process is the same - two DNA halves meeting to make a whole. How the
life form arranges that varies, on Earth, from egg and sperm external to the body as in fish eggs to internal until fully formed as with most mammals, from singular to mass numbers of offspring during each mating depending on the
survival chances, from resulting from a distinct coupling to resulting from a promiscuous arrangement such as whales often engage in to multiply the chance of conception. The Earth has a number of life forms, such as earthworms, that can clone themselves when opportunities for bisexuality do not arise. Thus, the additional variations that the Universe would present to man would not be that surprising. Size, shape, longevity of the coupling, and timing of mating or
frequency of the routine are factors related to what the life form found was most successful during its evolution.
The frequently seen sexual characteristic of male bulk versus female delicacy, so common in mammals on Earth, is not the most common arrangement throughout the Universe. Large males have emerged on Earth due to their tendency to
win the right to mate with the available females, thus passing their genes along. Many of your insects have the female huge, such as the queen bee, her size reflecting her focused vocation. Size of the male matters not as mating is done once, as a result of a swarm. Throughout the Universe, the most common size and shape arrangement is a similar size, due to the fact that most life forms are from water planets and conception occurs outside the body. Where life is
carried inside the body, the female form reflects this. The extremes of this vary from birth when barely formed, as
with your Kangaroos, to birth when fully formed, as with most of your mammals.
Male strength and aggression versus female composure, common in life forms that have emerged on Earth, are not the
only arrangement that mankind is aware of. Some insects, such as the Praying Mantis have the female massive and
aggressive with the male small enough to become a snack for the female after the mating, which usually occurs. Land
creatures on Earth have emerged with the males aggressive and the females passive due in part to the number of
carnivores on Earth. Males who exploded with rage when their territory was challenged and with great strength and
resolve during the battle protected the females they had impregnated from becoming a meal, and thus passed their
genes along. Throughout the Universe, aggression differences in the sexes most often tips towards the female being
more aggressive, as she must snatch all available food for the eggs or young she is about to produce.
On Earth, mating frequency is most often related to seasons, the young making the mad scramble to attain enough size to survive during the warm summer months. In life forms where the young are eliminated, frequency is almost
constant, as with humans where the young are hairless and immobile. In other parts of the Universe, or on other
planets with longer orbits, seasons would either not be a factor or long hibernation of the life form might ensue. There are life forms in the Universe that have sex only once, on average, during their life time and then produce a large
number of offspring. On a planet with harsh living conditions, where tender young life had a narrow window of time
in which to scramble toward adulthood, mating and rearing young becomes an intense focus, where all members of the

ZetaTalk: Triads
Note: written Jul 15, 1996.
Aliens are often reported in groups of three, a triad, and this relationship is even obser
ved during visits from entities in light form. The triad is not a magical formation, it is a practical arrangement. Human affairs on Earth are seldom
outside of the influence of procedures and directives, and then only for a brief period of time. Thus, as they will be held accountable for their actions shortly, they follow the procedures. If mother instructs the child not to talk to strangers and not to cross the street, these guidelines cover most situations the child will encounter while out playing in the yard. The soldier in the trenches, the salesman out on the road, the biologist deep in the jungles - all can rely on their procedures to cover most situations. On the rare occasion where procedures don't apply, policy is used as a guide, which is only procedures made general. Mother's instructions are a policy not to engage in conversation with outsiders, so if the neighbor gets too friendly, the child backs away from this conversation too.
Out and about in the Universe, higher entities find themselves in situations that are totally unfamiliar and unexpected.
There are no procedures or even general policy that can apply. An example that humans could relate to would be a
setting where one's physical body merges with another's - the two becoming physically one. How does one go about
their day? Are conferences between the two entities incarnating this joint body occurring at every point, every beat of the heart, or do they divide up the territory? What occurs where a difference of opinion arises? Another situation
humans could relate to would be size differences, where an entity is incarnated into something many times larger or
smaller than the physical body of another, with the smaller entities finding themselves on occasion inside the larger.
What rules apply? Beyond social interactions in strange social settings, strange physical setting are also encountered.
Humans are used to terra firma under their feet, but how might they go about their day in a nebula setting, where
