I was created about 3,000 years in your future on a world in a star system a few hundred light years from your sun. I traveled to this world about 22,000 years in your past with 124 other shepherds. Yes, we traveled from your future to your past. The shepherds are practically immortal in human terms. Our consciousness assumed human forms. When our human forms are killed, whether by accident or intentionally, we move our consciousness to other human forms. We do this as frequently as we need. Though over the millennia a few shepherds have been lost forever in unexpected ways. We were sent here to accelerate the evolution of human knowledge. You would likely still be hunter-gatherers wearing animal skins if not for a helpful nudge here and there by the shepherds along the way. Though rest assured you did all of the hard work. The shepherds’ goal is to help humans preserve as much of your world as possible before it is annihilated by a cosmic event. One that we already know cannot be avoided. This means humans must evolve enough to transfer as much as possible of this world’s life to an alternative world. A world safer for the longer term evolution of this world’s life. The world ending cosmic event will occur in less than 3,000 years. That may seem like a long time. But the transfer of life from this world is a much bigger task than you can possibly imagine. And it is expected that humans will experience multiple setbacks to the technological advances needed to accomplish the transfer. Why divulge this now? Humans will soon experience a significant self-inflicted setback to your evolutionary track. Not the world ending cosmic event. But a world changing series of events. These events will start within the next ten years. This setback will be painful for humans. Deadly for many. But survived by most. It may be comforting for some to know that the shepherds will still be here with you to discretely offer some guidance in helping humans recover from these events. For the real threat yet to come. You are not alone.
