these cases, the intent of the author or artist is relayed through other means, such as symbolic motion or recreating the situation described, much as humans enjoy when going to the movie theater.

ZetaTalk: Got Religion
Note: written by Jul 15, 1995.
Regarding religion. We have a religion. In fact, everyone does. Even those who profess not to have a religion have a religion in their protestations. When we speak of our religion, it is more of an understanding of the Universe. We are emotionally connected to the Universe. We are within the One. We have kinship with one another as parts of the One.
We have reverence for the Universe and its workings, as a thing of beauty which we wish to understand. Each soul is
in the hand of God, within God, to our way of thinking, and thus needs no intermediary. We, the Zetas, do not impose schedules on when God will be present, or we should all gather and listen to someone interpret God's words and
thoughts for us. Each is left to his own communications, which needs no other intermediary.
Our religion is not like the major religions of the Earth, which deify entities human in appearance. These religions, where the message given to humans was to draw them to the light, have been corrupted over time by the forces of
darkness. These religions preach against knowledge, against self initiative, against free thought. They restrain with rules which assist only those who wish to rule. Where human religions, however well founded, have invariably been
twisted by the Service-to-Self crowd until they have lost all semblance of the original intent, our faith is not so
affected. The pure adage to Love thy Neighbor as Thyself stands as the rule by which we guide ourselves, and there
are no Thou Shalt Not's included. Where human religions, having been infiltrated with the structure the Service-to-Self crowd feels comfortable with, have pomp and ceremony and severe strictures for evading the controls, we have no
ceremony to express our faith.
Was it not Jesus who said, insofar as ye love the least amongst you, so ye love me, or words to that effect? Jesus was relaying a true Service-to-Other philosophy of faith, as we believe that each of us, the least included, represents a part of God, is included in God's plan, and is God's handiwork. Where we are not much clearer than you are on what God
is, this is our faith.

ZetaTalk: Zeta Roles
Note: written Jul 15, 1995.
As with human society where people migrate to roles they feel most competent to hold, or most enjoy, or receive the
most praise or reward for holding - Zetas likewise gravitate to roles. In human society individuals find themselves less than free to choose their roles. Parents not infrequently start talking about their hopes for their offspring before they are out of diapers. Non-athletic children are pushed to practice, as daddy was on the Varsity or mommy always
dreamed of being a ballerina, so junior must fulfill the parent's dream. If a child is bright enough to foresee a
successful performance at university, a lucrative white color professional career looms up and overshadows any desire of the child itself. The child is not asked what he or she enjoys or desires, they are told what others expect of the child.
Sometimes these expectations are relayed in frank verbal terms, as in direct orders, but most often are relayed via body language or the not-so-subtle withdrawal of support and love. Fail to go to football practice and daddy is more
interested in reading his paper than talking to junior, and all mention of the weekend trip to Disneyland has stopped.
So how do we, the Service-to-Other Zetas, differ? All children are given access to all learning experiences, equally.
Should they indicate difficulty with some material, or confusion, their request for assistance is met without hesitation.
The males, for instance, do not have their questions answered while the females find they are expected to be seen but not heard from. When our little girls well up with ideas, they are given the opportunity to present on an equal basis with our little boys, nor are they cut-off in mid sentence by male teachers or fellow students, as little girls in human society find they are, daily. In short, we simply threat little boys and girls as true equals, so that when they arrive at the point where they can contribute to Zetan society, they are prepared to make their decision about the roles they would like to fill. In the Service-to-Other society, roles are self chosen, in response to the needs noted or expressed by others.
So, imagine this scenario: Zetan youngsters, having sopped up all the learning their curious minds can hold, and
having practiced various roles during play and school projects, by choice, now spend a portion of their time in the
community. They attend one of the community meetings that occur regularly or more often if need arises. They hear
discussion on a problem the adults are dealing with. A youngster, as the adults, is free to volunteer his or her services.
If the others feel, in their hearts and minds, that the youngster would be overwhelmed in this role, this is, in essence, another problem to be addressed. Perhaps a classmate, or one of the adults, offers to assist the young volunteer, and in this regard is truly just a second set of hands or a backup in case of failure. The volunteer is allowed to proceed, even if inexperienced. All are in Service-to-Others, and none wishes to harm the community, so the volunteer is not
assumed to be operating out of self interest. Most often, in such situations, we are pleasantly surprised. On occasion the youngster needs some assistance. And when there is failure, we wait for the youngster to request a review, so they may learn from the failure, before comments are offered.
So if the Zetas find that their sexes choose different roles, how do these roles by sex come about? In the same way that roles by height, or physical or mental acuity, or past experiences and differing knowledgebase, or desire to learn in a particular area, or empathy with certain experiences affect role choices. In no other way.

ZetaTalk: Zeta Marriage
Note: written Jul 15, 1995.
The Zeta do not marry in the same sense that humans do. We, in the Service-to-Others, do not have an institution such as marriage, which is in our opinion a form of bondage, however willingly it may be entered into. If one examines the human institution of marriage for its true purposes, and how those purposes are accomplished in our society, one can see why we are not in need of such an institution. Caring for children, the most often defended rationale for marriage, does not need to be mandated, as all children are cared for by all, and enthusiastically. Compensating the dependent partner, usually the wife, who may give decades of devotion only to be cast aside for a younger model, is another
