I ask, "What am I?"

Zohar answers, “As a Star Seed, you are fully human, and yet you are something more. 50,000 years ago, were confined to a small patch of Africa. These ancestors of yours were not self-aware. They didn’t have the ability to view the workings of their own mind from the perspective of an observer, removed from your behavior. Likewise, you were not aware of your own mortality. You did not ponder the great spiritual questions of life and death.

“At first, we ran into dead-ends and we continued attempting to develop a self-evolving species with the right balance of intelligence and self-awareness. We not only wanted a species that was intelligent, but we wanted one that had the capacity to view their own thoughts and emotions from within themselves, as a third party, divorced from their behaviors. Such a being would also be awareness of their own mortality. About 50,000 years ago we saw the potential of a particular tribe in Africa and we began to focus our attention on that tribe. Your ancestors multiplied necessitating more of us to track and develop you as an ancient, delicate new sub-species. You soon wiped out your competitors, the nearest being Neanderthal Man.

“We began to alter your genes in very subtle ways to enhance intelligence and what can only be called your ‘spiritual gifts.’ With this intervention, a sub-species of you became self-aware for the first time. In time, you began to over-populate the region, meaning that the food supply was insufficient to support everybody. You began to solve this problem with genocide. You wiped out the proto-human sub-species that had not been genetically enhanced with intelligence and awareness. Once this proved insufficient, you began to migrate to adjacent regions where food was plentiful. Once again, overpopulation resulted in more migrations requiring more adaptation. Thus, you became a self-evolving species.”
