I will share with you a message from the book I really enjoyed reading - Messages by Stan Romanek.

"[...] the entity told us, it informed us that while humans had great potential, humanity was walking down the wrong path. Humans "need to accept reality" before we could be accepted into the "neighborhood" - presumably meaning the galactic or cosmic neighborhood - and that we need enlightment. [...]
Speaking in a choppy, halting voice, it went on to tell us that "humans are at a crossroads. They are being judged and they are being guided... some bad, some good." There are those that do not see the benefit of the human race succeeding and there are those that do - and they will argue the point. From what I could make out, it seemed that humanity was embroiled within a kind of tug-of-war between various alien races who were arguing about whether we were worth the trouble. It also seemed there were different races involved in the struggle - some were good or beneficial while others were not. Apparently, humans are also involved in this struggle, some unwittingly or others knowingly - some working for good, some, for reasons of selfishness and fear, for evil.
[...] Probably the most surprising answers that came out of the session, however, were those that dealt with the concept of God. While many intellectuals consider the belief in God to be either superstitious nonsense or, at best. and unhelpful distraction towards advancing as a species, when asked whether his highly developed and extremely advanced race believes in god, the response was an emphatic yes. However, unlike what we hear in our religions - that seems to have God pretty well figured out - he told us that God is beyond human understanding. In fact, they are still trying to understand the concept of the divine themselves, making me wonder about humans who can put on a robe and claim to be an authority in this area.
He and his people seemed to know exactly what was going on. Regarding humanity and the universe, he told us that we humans are more than we know. There is a unity to everything, as everything is connected to a universal oneness. The problem is that many leaders have led humanity incorrectly for the sake of the greed and for personal gain. Man is a crossroads and we need to grow up and stop being lazy and hostile toward each other, our planet, and the very universe itself. It seems that mankind's true potential has been subdued because something has blocked our physical, mental and spiritual evolution. We can either work hard to get out of this mess, or we will destroy Earth and ourselves.
According to the ET's, a shift in the collective human consciousness is impending, but we will have to choose which direction it's going to go. Humanity's perceptions and abilities have been purposely veiled in darkness. We were also told that when the shift happens, this veil would be lifted. The first step is to accept without fear that humans are not alone in this universe, despite what the manipulators want us to believe. Mankind has friends out there waiting for us to learn to accept them. Unfortunately, they have laws and cannot get directly involved, other than to guide us. We must strive to accomplish it ourselves as a rite of passage for the human race.
But the most important thing of all is that this message of enlightenment is for everyone, including the corrupt. They know what is going on, and even they will be given a chance to make it right.
Is simple enough. If we want their help, we need to start accepting the fact that there is much more to this universe than just humanity. They want us to know that we really do have cosmic neighbors. Simplistic, I admit, but profound in its implications if one bothers to consider it."
