Were there advanced civilizations on Earth older than what it is currently believed and accepted? Because we keep noticing their traces all around, while authorities deny their presence. Are there other civilizations out there among planets and stars? Because we keep seeing their members around us, pursuing their obscure interests while flying in their 'unidentified' vehicles, with authorities ignoring everything. Are there nonhuman civilizations on Earth parallel to the Human Civilization? Because they interact from the shadow of the underground with the Human Civilization, while again, authorities deny systematically their presence. And when authorities are constrained in any way to give an answer, they respond vaguely: 'it is a matter of human survival.' What exactly is a matter of human survival? And even so, how could humans defend themselves of anyone or anything if they are held in ignorance and denial?

Why is Humanity kept ignorant in what it concerns the most important subject of all, life all around and life eternally, intelligent and civilized? Because if there are other civilizations on Earth and elsewhere, human or not, if there are other realities up there besides this one, populated and civilized, then people's ignorance renders them vulnerable when they die and have to go elsewhere. In this manner, once you ignore the kind of realities that may be out there, you might be tricked to go and live in treacherous, dubious, unholy worlds claiming that they are in fact the holly lands promised to you by your own religion. And so you disappear. Because it is stated in religious records to be careful not to follow false deities. Yet how can you know anything in this domain, if you are kept ignorant the whole time, and probably lied to, misled, and many times tempted with irrelevant material compensations throughout life? This is the case mostly if you are from the Brotherhood and the Elite, or if you support these in any way from the Masses, which everybody does.

Throughout this book, we form a comprehensive model of a civilization from all perspectives, model that may be used to study and understand all civilizations. We also use this model to study the Human Civilization, along with all civilizations influencing the Human Civilization directly and implicitly. This research is part of a comprehensive study of life, intelligence, societies, cognition, reality, interconnectivity, and this world, a study of living beings all around including humans, of their life and reasoning, of their place and meaning in life and in the world, part of this entire book series called "The One."

As you notice, this book is not about persuading you to believe or not that there are other civilizations out there and up there, but this book helps you understand civilizations from a rigorous, comprehensive perspective, including the meaning, interests, agreements, and intentions that civilizations have in the wider world, why individuals form civilizations as an end product of their cumulative lifetime efforts, and furthermore, what meanings these civilizations have in the wider world, how and in what manner these civilizations interact within themselves and with the wider world, and how exactly their meaning in the wider world relates to the meaning of each one of their members. This study seeks to understand your own place in this extraordinary human endeavor that is the Human Civilization, and through it, it depicts your own place and meaning in the higher and wider world and existence.
