Maybe we are evolving weird...

So, a project that I have been working on lately has lead me to an interesting idea. I don't know if I will be able to explain very clearly, or if maybe this is stupid and everyone else has already thought of this 400 times. I will try my best to explain what I am thinking.... I know that people have different ideas about whether or not aliens and the contact/abduction experiences that people have with them take place in the physical world, or if they actual take place on some sort of mental plane of existence, some realm where just consciousness interacts, or another dimension or reality altogether.

Sooo..... What if, there are two real evolutionary paths for the creation of an intelligent species, or maybe the next step of evolution, from where we are now as an 'intelligent' species, to a more enlightened species... Imagine most species in the universe that have successfully made this journey have evolved via the path of expanding consciousness. Becoming one with nature, understanding their true nature, reaching enlightenment, whatever, and the next step of their evolution lead them to this new plane of reality, in which all these different spoecies coexist in a somewhat harmonious state. The reason that they have taken such an interest in humans, could be that humanity took the other, less likely evolutionary path- physical/technological evolution, where we have not grown out of our violence and other childish traits as a species, but have continued to survive through our enormous ego and legendary stubborn-ness. Maybe this is rare, and this explains why there are all these different species of beings that are all together, looking at humanity who is all alone. Like this is one of the 'great filters' and there is one commonly traveled path of success, and then the route that humans are trying to take (although we are failing).

Does that even make sense? I don't know if I explained myself very well. I just have been thinking about this a lot lately and I am trying to work out the kinks in explaining it more clearly as the concept will play a role in the novel that I am working on. I haven't personally had any experiences of my own, though I wish I had, and would volunteer if I knew where the sign-up sheet was.
