From ASAH forum posts.
At least one site linked to in ASAH states that this type (shockingly similar to Human appearance) is the most likely to first visit if there are negative intentions involved.
I for one would find it far more likely that lifeforms rather unlike us would be the first to make contact. Or at least, it would be far easier to swallow. Any group going to great lengths to make us comfortable (or drop our guard) would be more likely to have negative intent. Aliens faced with both the interest in meeting others/trading experience -and- the barrier of earing trust due to patent dissimilarity, would be most likely to earn my initial trust. It would take humility to work at cross-understanding on both our parts. To see ourselves in something dissimilar, and to learn from it, would be wonderful, especially if it went both ways.
It is always important to say...beware Greeks bearing gifts.
The ethics and social repercussions of meeting the Other would be indescribably significant. There are still those who raise the rebel flag against the North winning the Civil War, and freeing the African-American. We've seen blatant racism in the Katrina debacle, straight from the Bush pod, as well as against Obama during and after the election. It's still there, despite what Lincoln did for us. So, imagine what effect the Significantly Other would have. I've read many excellent books on the subject, but wonder if any of them would truly capture the extent of such an event and its aftermath. Part of me longs to see; part of me fears it. If I have fear, then others may have terror, or not enough security in weltanschauung for it to be considered safe. I just don't know.
I haven't personally (intuitively) examined the ET question so I have zero answers. I am wary of anything channeled so there is no going that route, at least for myself. (There are many negative entities at work in channeled material- be very careful. Honestly, "who cares", just keep close to God/The Great Avatars and do your good works, and pray, etc. You don't need external information. God is close, so seek God. You need nothing else!)
Some, like Kriyananda, have stated (in his Bhagavad Gita translation) that there are indeed aliens, some positive, some negative, that they have craft not limited by light-speed, and that they travel for their various reasons...if the Universe is filled with life, which is likely, then it's rather likely that at least some have taken interest in Earth due to the Shift.
An old girlfriend put it so very well: "If we went into space, we wouldn't behave." I have to fully agree, and as such, significantly doubt if we'd do very well at all with any obvious visitors. We can't even get health care going...so save the ETs for later! (grin)

The only problem with 2012
is that it is possible for the mass choice to be...very little. All is possible, yet it requires empetus and action on the part of the masses. If you want health care reform, work for it. If you want better standards of living for everyone, work for it. If you want to live in joy, work for it. The returns are quick and significant.
However, do nothing, and nothing indeed shall be the return. Obama has made this clear...he alone cannot make these changes. And we are sitting around doing little, very little.
Make a difference, now!

What happens to society/social structures.
Change. Change to simplification. We do not need a competetive, capitalistic social structure. It is dying as it cannot survive in proximity with the Higher Dimensions. Look for the birth of new, "quality of life" laws and organizations, as well as the strengthening of those already in existence. Look for the loss of complex competitive business practice. Look especially for the loss of business structure devoted to profit at the expense of people. This is already occuring. People will become increasingly sickened by that which preys upon people, and become increasingly vocal and active against it. (The great negativity of US government from 2000-2008 has helped swing the pendulum in the positive direction. Give people enough reason to need change, and change will occur).
There will be much worry as social structures continue to simplify and shift. It is imperative to live each day in gratitude =regardless of any internal and external suffering=. Keep yourself positive, most especially in joy. These changes are unavoidable as the old, selfishness-based structures collapse, and those based upon love are created. If will feel natural to create love-based structures, as being in a love-based energy naturally supports and reinforces such things. They will -have- to happen.
If you lament the slow pace at which health care and other "quality-of-life" structures are being enacted, know that more of the old selfishness must break loose and depart before it becomes simplicity itself for the love-based to occur. Not too much longer now...however, you must want the good to occur. You must go out and demand it. You must become part of it. You must do it yourself! This ceases to be a fight, thankfully! At long last, the love-based will become easy to enact, and maintain.
And what happens to that which refuses to cease selfishness and self-obsession, much less outright negativity and destruction? It cannot be part of the new energy. Transmutation of Energy would cause it to become positive, if it can stick around long enough. If it fights the new energy, and refuses to let go of the old, it will suffer increasingly as its incompatability grows. You may experiment with this yourself. Do you have any strong dislikes? Try a good Two-Minute Hate (=do not= think of causing injury, merely be in the emotion of hate). Really reach out with your emotions. Burn with it. Rage. Now, take a bath in epsom salts and watch your favorite funny movie. Listen to your favorite, most blissful oration or music. Reach into it emotionally! Say a few "Praise God!"s! Detox (grin!)
You may find it far too uncomfortable to be in that space. Imagine those who permanently inhabit it, and who will not change. The gap between the Higher Dimensions and the Lower, grows daily. Karen Bishop has proven to me that the "stargates" of calendar dates such as 9/9/09 are real, are openings to higher and higher energies/dimensions, and will continue. I do not imagine much negativity as being able to be present upon the planet much past 11/11/11, much less 12/12/12! The same goes for social structures not invested in spreading abundance and support. It will be obvious (and already is, with Michael Moore's new film "Capitalism: A Love Story"!).

Characteristics of the Higher Dimensions.
The 4th and 5th, at minimum, are now available to some degree. My experience with them is limited to the following descriptors:
The 4th Dimension is Love. Love includes:
-Complete forgiveness of self and others
-Compassion and true Empathy
-Giving support and guidance
-Which includes, acting as spirit guides
-Intimacy of astonishing depth
-Recognition of self and others
-Intuition and Psychic Siddhis
-Healing abilities
-Participation in the the Positive Hierarchy
-And as a result, increasing Love for all.
And of course, Unconditional Love for all of Creation. All of the things which SHOULD already be in the world, but are now occuring.
The 5th Dimension includes:
-Wholistic learning through the Wisdom Mind
-Wholistic teaching through the Wisdom Mind
-Access to the Great Libraries and Records systems
-Plans and actions which I sense and know little..
Those with access to these realms may likely also participate in Pure Lands, where all action is positive spiritual growth and benefit to others.

The Spiritual versus the Material.
All comes from God. We are sparks sent out to undertake the great task of remembering our Home and Source, and to fulfill our utmost individual potential along the way. Also, to support to the utmost, others' individual potential.
Kabbalah states that our light and The Light are hidden, for good purpose. When one is tired of not being in enough love, it is time to seek the light at our heart center.
Everyone knows that love is a tremendously good feeling, either giving or receiving, even to simply be around. All the world loves the lovers... It is a lighter feeling than depression. Emotions have energy, and energy can have weight ("heavy, man") or actually be uplifting. This is why it is a good thing to seek to be and to be in unconditional love. Love provides the open space in which all things may grow. A moment spent with someone loving may help you shrug off chronic emotional issues. Why not seek as much of it as possible? Why not be as much of it as possible?
The material body is referred to by David Lynch as "The suffocating rubber clown suit". The spirit, and its connection with God, are our continuous nature; the body, a temporary home. The body is self-aware and highly intelligent. It has a large amount of instinct, and this is increased through each experience. Thus, we eventually find the musical or artistic prodigy, who has always seemed to have such skill.
The same goes, unfortunately, for other bodily characteristics, such as lust, jealousy, fear, hate, etc. The classic "deadly sins". This leads to a greater and greater tendency (and demand) to fulfill them. Habits are formed, and new spiritual habits are required to negate them.
The body also amuses itself. I am hungry. I want sex. I fear strangers. I want that music....and thinking becomes denser and more complex, until there are no spaces between thoughts. At this point, all that fills our perception (the body itself) are the body's signals. Yes, thought is a signal, the mind is an organ of associative processing. The spirit is the core of awareness/consciousness, but the incessant chatter of the body's needs makes it appear that it is all there is, or can be.
As stated about Love, all acts of love increase that which you will receive. The same is true about the body/ego. All acts serving the body/ego will increase the body/ego. To break out of the trap about which we were not even aware, requires the spiritual path of actions designed to act in opposition to the body's signals (at least to the point at which some amount of freedom is achieved, not deliberate self-rejection or self-destruction). Merely, to tame the wild horse that is the body, to follow instruction, and to not lead us everywhere that interests it.
Meditation produces insight into this condition through causing us to see these troublesome tendencies. As you sit Zazen, the body will become bored and begin making its demands. "I want hamburgers for dinner." "I want a new lover." "Gotta get to the game early this weekend." All of this is normal and not to be fought against. The good books on meditation, including "Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind", "When Things Fall Apart", "The Master Key System", and "The Path of Emancipation" discuss this at adequate length. It becomes possible to sit and not leap up to fulfill whatever comes to mind. Or, to give in to any fear the body may create in order to get you up from meditation (and then, out to fulfill whatever comes to mind).
Do not worry about this; the body is designed to respond to these techniques, and it does. It may take a while for some, but the rewards are so significant, I strongly encourage you to continue. No time spent on spirituality is ever wasted. If meditation is too difficult, counter-act this through more time at the animal shelter or soup kitchen.
Free will.
The question of "why does God allow evil, and bad things to happen to good people" has long plauged Mankind. I myself have no complete answer, not being enlightened, but the best answers seem to regard free will. We are on a stage creating theatre, all of us together. We are to a degree separate from God in the material (enough to forget God entirely). We are allowed to perform acts of negativity (and to reap their returns). Also, the natural systems must follow their functions regardless of whether those who live in the far north do not wish for snow to fill their streets and driveways once more, or for an avalanche to cause harm.
Also, regarding the tendency for a body to increasingly signal selfish desire after an extended period of fulfilling selfish desires, forms Syntony (or to some, the Law of Attraction). Sometimes things just happen, and sometimes, there is causality involved. Sometimes there are clusters of selfishness from past lives which we intend to clear in this life, and situations will magnetize to us in order to awaken us to a trend which requires change. There are many reasons, but going into the spiritual path, especially loving service, allows us to diminish them, sometimes eliminate them. Sadly, sometimes it takes someone who has been raped to create a system of shelters or even new laws benefitting others who have had the same experience. (Here I have to honor the morality of the film "Bruce Almighty", which provides some good discussion regarding this.)
I myself have been through much suffering. More than I could deal with. The result has been to pursue the positive path with greater and greater dedication, and I have healed, and hopefully helped others along that path as well. Thankfully, the news of the future is joy, which is our birthright, and our learning may now be done through excitement and that which is Right for us. It is worth getting to, even through the deepest bog and darkest night! Even if you lose your faith, and I certainly have...and when I admit that I have to make the decisions or am the creator of my own misery, it improves. Give it to God and let go.

Prayer.
When you cannot physically aid anyone, when you cannot be of service in any other way, pray and meditate. Always for God's will for you and the power to carry it out, and for the benefit of others. Spend twenty minutes as you lay in bed prior to sleep and send out as much love as you can.
Repeating earlier suggestions, as you cannot get enough:
-"I am praying for the greatest possible good for Mankind and all involved". (ASAH forum)
-"I am praying for the enlightenment of all sentient beings." (Tibetan)
-"I am love, I am giving love." (Young-Sowers Divination Deck)
-"I am praying that all of the lost, hear God's call home." (Angels)
And always, if you are suffering from some particular fear or difficulty, pray that all others who share in it, are healed/delivered from it with grace and ease.
-"We are praying that all of the falsely imprisoned are freed."
-"We are praying for positive abundance for all in need."
-"We are praying that all of the hungry are fed."
-"We are praying God's will for all of Creation."
-"White Light throughout Earth and The Universe."
-"We are praying the cures for cancer are given to Mankind."
-"God bless Creation."
What works for me is a slight derivation on Buddhist techniques on Mindful Breathing, which are based upon the Anapanasati Sutra's 16 stage course. The breath is a tool of transmutation. Let the body "waterbed" and mentally state the prayer on each in breath and on each out breath (or split it between in and out if it is too long). Keep light attention upon the breath as it moves through the nasal passage, and if possible, also be aware of its movement into and out of the lungs within the body, and of the volume of air just outside of the body. It takes practice, like anything, and it is a technique some two-and-a-half millennia old. It has lasted because it works. It adds power to prayer!
The passion of the Baptists is another way to charge up your prayers. If you really mean it, if your heart is involved, your prayers carry that energy and are thus far more than repeated words.
Prayer during meditation is also powerful. The body is stilled, the mind separate; with attention on the spine and its base, prayer centered there can have even more depth. Centering the energy just behind the base of the spine, behind the body, is also good (anyone who meditates knows).
