We, The Arcturians

Rate this book
In 1984, Dr. Norma Milanovich, who resides in Albuquerque, New Mexico, was living a quiet, quite normal existence when she began experiencing a series of extraordinary events. These events began with strange paranormal and psychic experiences and have escalated to her receiving transmissions via her microcomputer from other life forms who have identified themselves as Beings from the star Arcturus. With the support and assistance of two friends, Betty Rice and Cynthia Plosky, a book, WE, THE ARCTURIANS, has been produced which contains numerous messages transmitted from these Beings.

The Arcturians, speaking through Norma, have sent Earthlings a gentle message regarding their purpose for being here. They claim they are here to assist Earth as it enters a New Age of spirituality. They cannot interfere with the free will or decision-making process of any Earthling, but are here to educate and help raise the vibrations of all who choose to journey to the new dimension the Earth is entering. They are also "commissioned" to help us understand the true nature of God, ourselves, and the universes.

Who are these Beings and why are they here? Are they friends, foes or merely observers? The answer to these questions may come from the words of the Arcturians themselves :

We wish only to be accepted on the Earth plane for the gifts and benefits that we bring. We try to do our jobs with total dedication to the Light and to the sisters and brothers of Earth, whom we serve.

We would like for this document to be read as the comparison of two different worlds.

We look for ways to belong. We do not wish to be considered separate in a universe that is only one.

We are talking about a transit of time, over the next several years, that will transform the energy of the beloved Earth to a Garden of Eden in the galaxy.

Very illuminating. For someone who's been absorbing the Law of One series (The Ra Material) slowly over several months' time, due to its complexity and density of information, We the Arcturians comes across more readily, more direct. I found the Arcturians' messages immediately humbling. They remind us we have never been alone in our own individual quests for Divine reconnection with The All, The "Great Central Sun" as they refer to it. Never in my experience (I admit I am still young) have I encountered a message so spiritually uplifting yet so well grounded in reality (I have fully accepted the idea of ETs in our midst), lending itself well to more practical interpretations. Beneficial practices, e.g. meditation, diet, etc. are given more meaningful context. I now see the greater purpose in those life-strengthening techniques and may now begin them anew in this brief time we have left in 3D. This book has been a much-needed recharge, as it has greatly piqued my curiosity of multidimensional Being. Tuning in now more acutely.

Four stars due to the nature of the questions made by the women. I felt they dwelled too much on generics rather than questioning a little deeper. Thankfully the Arcturians were allowed much room to elaborate!

Interesting for those that don't mind kind bending ideas/concepta

Good read. Of you have read Dolores Canon's Convoluted Universe books this would make sense to you. I enjoyed it , and was able to connect some dots.

I can appreciate the overall message here. I can even agree with it, but I can’t help but be skeptical when we are supposedly ascending but the language describing the new world is full of hierarchy and harkens back to a sort of religious dogma. Maybe this language was used because better words don’t exist, but it rubs me the wrong way. There was talk of being “welcomed into the kingdom.” Well, I’m not interested in kings and kingdoms right now, thanks. I was also really bored in the middle when they were talking about the spacecraft. I found myself rolling my eyes a lot.

This seems like a really harsh review for a book I mostly enjoyed, but there you have it.

I was expecting to laugh a bit about the book bc it was “revealed to the author by extraterrestrials”, but I thought it was an interesting look into the politics of the new age movement. This book is a list of suggestions for policy and personal life for new age spiritualism, claiming they come from an emotionally advanced group of aliens. I have no problems with that. The authors put in the work to argue for their policies, so they can be taken on merit without needing to appeal to the authority of the Arcturians (the aliens that supposedly wrote most of this book)

There were a good number of policies I agreed with, like the need to support childcare workers, not just because it’s a difficult job but because it’s important on a civilizational level. I liked a lot of the suggestions about how we could better care for the people around us! This is all shown in a frantic writing style that is a breeze to skim through, but difficult to read carefully. Although there are definitely other books I would recommend before this one, I can see someone getting a lot out of it.

However, I was more interested in how the thoughts in this book laid out the modern new age movement. This was written in 1990, so there’s still a left wing bend to the book, ideas that may have been carried down by the Berkeley hippies of the 70s. But breaking through the free-love positivity is also a growing anger. The book speaks occasionally of things that “lower vibrational frequencies” (aka make you feel bad). When describing the educational system of their paradise, the Arcturians say that children should only receive and accept information that raises their frequencies (makes them feel good) and never something that lowers them. I dont think I need to elaborate on why teaching people that they should only take in the information that makes them feel good is bad, so I won’t.

They don’t offer too many suggestions on how to raise your frequency, except when it comes to Jesus. According to them, Jesus will come again to help us ascend, and learning his teachings will help raise our vibrational frequencies.

Taken with the point before, it seems like this book is advocating for a religious takeover of education to aid children’s spirits before Jesus comes back. The new age spiritualism seamlessly blends with the Evangelical movement, only needing some basic word substitution. I used to be confused about why these formerly left wing groups seemed to jump to support Trump, but decades of groundwork stood beneath them. With our 20/16 hindsight, we can see that the melding of the arguments in this book may have nurtured our post-truth political present, or at least pointed where we were headed.

Sorry this is so long. If you read the whole thing, I will send you some baked goods to bring your vibrations back up.

Norma ended up being nudged into becoming a (typing) channel for so-called Arcturians from the planet Arcturus.

In this book, there's a clear effort to express the channeled content as is.

I found the following chapters to be the most interesting: introducing who they are, their Elders' view of the cosmos, language, and their educational program.

They also functionally describe their spaceship as well as why they're here: to help us achieve a positive Singularity for as many humans as possible! And when one views life from a meta-incarnational lens, that apparently looks a bit different (the 'New Age'). It seems it's viewed in terms of consciousness shifts and development more than in terms of the tech, which reminds me of Ben's Tantralarity article as a sort of 'bridge' between perspectives (https://bengoertzel.substack.com/p/th...).

The view of language from entities claiming telepathy is amusing and apparently helps resolve questions such as, "is my blue your blue?" :- p

I found their claim that enlightenment is synonymous with intelligence to be interesting. And educationally, they focus on fostering personal development where one is compared to oneself and not others.

"What we have here is the total reexamination of the purpose for using these powers of manifestation and the documentation of one’s judgment for their usage."

This seems to fit learning theory. Take an agent's experience and actions. Then ask:
1) What performance measure did you choose in this situation and why?
2) How effective were your actions at fulfilling the performance measure (and how do you regard additional consequences)?

It seems they went the 'human' augmentation route rather than the artificial general intelligence route with regard to tech. They report not needing symbolic language due to telepathy and cyborg support machines to assist with memory and cumbersome thinking. Likewise, information can be implanted into their "brain" structures as well as having tech to help sustain desired states of consciousness ('frequencies').

They put attaining enlightenment first on the educational curriculum and then further learning from this place. The Arcturians offer three ingredients:

1) "Reversed friction means the removal of all blockages that stand in the way of energy flowing smoothly and easily through a life form." (Basically, just fucking be yourself already!)

2) "An understanding and appreciation of God." (Where "God" is defined as all that is and the fundamental (electromagnetic) Force of the universe, or the Central Great Sun).

3) Oneness: "learning how to channel unconditional love."

Lastly, I like this guarantee of their civilization and hope we can aspire to a similar dream:
"Our civilization assures that over the course of a soul’s existence on Arcturus, it will have access to all of the systems and pleasures that it wishes. This may take several embodiments, but it is assured."

A good review of conversation.
BUT BE AWARE THAT THIS WAS PROGRAMMED THROUGH A COMPUTER. AI MANIPULATION.
From my own personal perception, other galactic beings that promote one higher being/Jesus as being an ultimate saviour might just need their heads clanked together. But each to their own. Certainly there are very good points written about higher consciousness and all but the 'Arcturians' write so lovingly about their master and return of our saviour, use greek names and undermine our abilities at times that you must question who these ladies are actually conversing with...

Ma ikka loen omajagu esoteerilist kirjandust (ehkki suur osa neist raamatuist valmistab erinevatel põhjustel pettumuse) ning kanaldatud tekstide vastu pole mul ka iseenesest midagi, aga "Meie, arktuuruslased" käis küll natuke närvidele, arvatavasti tulenevalt minu madalast arengutasemest. Vähemalt on vist selge, kust see laialt levinud Valgustöötajate, Ülestõusnud Meistrite ja saabuva Uue Ajastu jutt oma alguse on saanud.
Ühelt poolt mõjusid arktuuruslased oma pidevast armastuse- ja abistamisjutust hoolimata kuidagi üleolevalt: ikka kui arenenud nemad on ja kui madal meil siin kõik on. Tore, et nad ei pea tavamõistes sööma ega midagi, aga meie paraku peame. Nad möönsid ise ka, et Maa energia on väga raske ja keeruline ning nad peavad end hoolikalt laadima ja taastama, kui siin viibivad. Eks proovigu siis pidevalt elada sellistes tingimustes nagu inimesed, ilma igasuguse telepaatilise infovahetuseta ja täieliku mälukaotuse tingimustes. On lausa ime, et suur osa inimkonnast pole ikkagi täielikult mustale negatiivsusele ja ahistavale materiaalsusele alla vandunud. Samuti mainisid nad mingit tasu, mis neid missiooni täideviimise eest ootavat, nii et päris omakasupüüdmatu nende võimalik tegevus siiski pole.
Kõige rohkem ajas mind aga närvi see kristlik maailmavaade, mis igalt poolt läbi kumas. Kas on päris juhus, et autoritest vähemalt kaks on usklikud ja tugeva katoliikliku taustaga. Retoorika on newage'ilik, aga mõte on sama mis keskajalgi: kui tollal sattusid patustajad põrgusse, siis uue sõnavara kohaselt ähvardatakse, et tõsta oma vibratsiooni või muidu pead endale elamiseks mõne teise koha otsima. Teemaks on ka Kristuse kui Ülestõusnud Meistri naasmine, misjärel siis terad sõkaldest eraldatakse. Kas pole tuttav jutt. Jutlustatakse jätkuvalt alandlikkust ja lausa isikukultust, aga minule pole selline maailmavaade omane, ka on mul raske seda tõeliselt vaimseks suhtumiseks pidada. Pole vaja mingeid gurusid järgida, et valgustatuseni jõuda- inimeses endas on kõik vajalik olemas. Kõik muu on ikkagi taas mingile inimlikule süsteemile allutamine, põhjuseks tavaliselt võimuiha või ükskõik millised muud varjatud motiivid, kõlagu see kui tahes üllalt ja altruistlikult. JP Sears on selle talumatu vaimlemise põhijooned väga teravmeelselt ära tabanud.

I first became interested in the Arcturians after encountering someone who classified me as an Arcturian. I wanted to learn more about them, and then synchronicity led me to this book.

I have immense gratitude towards the Arcturians for the information they imparted here. I have learned a lot about them and was especially awestruck by the descriptions of their ships.

This book came to me at the right time. I would classify it as an intermediary Metaphysics book, meaning that much of its contents would perhaps go over the heads of someone new to this field.

However, I believe each reader will take from this book what their current perceptions allow them to and in that way this book is perfect.

I feel more motivated to continue my mission on Earth knowing that I am supported by such an advanced race.

Very thought provoking causing one to get outside their comfort zone. I especially found that it took days to read a chapter and then I was able to read several chapters as one normally reads a book. I usually did not understand anything I read and would say so to my husband. Then lo and behold days later I would be describing what I had read understanding what before was just meaningless words.

My husband read it when I was through and understood why I said I could not understand anything then to suddenly really know what was said.

Not my first book about the Arcturians

I enjoyed the book very much. The Arcturians are extremely intelligent. I recently took their 5D download, available on Kindle. I took it 2 days before the solar eclipse hit Earth recently. I was really dizzy when the eclipse hit Earth for 2 days, could only get out of bed to eat and use the bathroom. I am feeling better but still have some very weird unexplained dizzy spells, periodically, unlike anything I have had before. Hopefully it will pass in time. 😀

New limits in thinking

This book was very interesting seeing thing from the Arcturians position. They made alot of valid points and challenged many of my own theory and beliefs. I walk away quite amazed as these women ask such thought provoking questions and having them answered in such a loving manner. I have to read this again because I know I will be reading with a new mind.

Hhhmmm....A channeled book not that there is anything wrong with that but the medium must always have control. There were so many red flags for me in this book, firstly these Arcturians claimed to OWN THIS PLANET???? no-one owns a planet, truth mixed with lies throughout. Read and see if you come to the same conclusion it's on unlimited but would trust this group let alone let them channel through me.

too much of the box not enough about what's IN the box

This may appeal to those who are looking to know about the arcturian spaceship and such information but I find it lacking in the mission department. Sure there is some basic information (we're here to help) but it lacks depth. Too much about the who, not enough about the how.

To be fair, the title is about the who. Therefore, this is only so you can manage your expectations.

This book was recommended to me after I experienced two instances of human-initiated contact through ce5 meditation. On the first instant we were told those that answered our call were Acturians. This book felt like they were speaking directly to me. It has affected me significantly and certain paragraphs in it directly explain the plot of the fantasy series I am writing. If you are feeling called to this book, answer the call. The messages shared are compelling.

Answers for Christians Seeking “Why?”

Great book with answers that many Christians seek to understand about the salvation of all and the release from dogmatic religious beliefs that limit the mighty power of a loving God who faithfully watches over, guards, and protects all of his creation.

Good book, if you're ready.

You will find this book interesting, if you are already on the path.
If not on the path perhaps this book can provide inspiration to start you on your journey.

Great Book

This book ties UFOs religion and the great need inside our souls to be with our Father and God of the Universe. It also high lights the importance of Jesus Christ as our Savior and our way to get off the wheel of Karma and return to our Father and Mother in heaven.

The amount of depression I feel after reading such a good book like this is relentless. I absolutely loved this book. I know I say that often but this is my new top 5. This book focuses on the arcturian culture and civilization. This book offers a whole new outlook and perspective to other worlds, ideas, possibilities, and wonders. This book also talks more in-depth about manifesting, laws of physics, and energy. If you struggle with your mental state, this book offers profound insight on how to realign the body. It’s captivating, intellectually stimulating, thrilling especially if you’re into extraterrestrials, life on other planets, higher realms, frequencies, different realities and dimensions. There are some insanely long chapters but still very stimulating nonetheless. However some of the concepts may be hard to digest if you’re new to spirituality.

Maybe there were more important questions that should have been asked hoping for a sequel to do just that soon
