You raise some interesting points yet from my personal experience with ETs and with the Theism there are huge gaps.

Have you considered the possibility that among the many different ET races that they too are on a path of spiritual evolution where one can say we are on on the spiritual ladder but on different rungs?

I know this to be true. Those beings (even human beings) who are spiritually evolved can already travel multi-dimensionally based on simple quantum physics and zero point field. For those who have spent time in meditation and spiritual effort this is a very real possibility. Then there are those who have incarnated into this life bringing many of these acquired skills into this lifetime and can do this as well.

Consciousness, once experienced at the quantum level, is experienced both at one nexus point, and also everywhere else. It is the collapse of duality. This means that the spirit or soul has the ability to go anywhere and is not limited by time, space or spiritual dimensions. Consciousness goes into the past, the future and all dimensions as it exists everywhere. As a unit of pure aware consciousness, thus an individual soul has this ability should they seek to develop it.

Those beings who utilize alien craft to get from one point to the next are lower down on the rung of spiritual development. Of course there are some very advanced modes of transportation involving the interfacing of biological technology - yet again, those who can just travel to another dimension with a thought is surly more further along then others who have to use a physical means/mode of transportation.

In respect with the three areas you identified I disagree with all of them.

"for Spiritualism: non-earth beings (ETs) will provide us with spiritual aid towards a higher state of being. (ascension)"

This can be achieved by ones own efforts and intention. It is also referred to as the path of the heart. It is through devotion and focus on the Divine one is raised to the vibrational frequency of the Divine.

"for Secularism: science will provide us with cognitive aids to reach a higher state of being. (singularity)"

This is the lazy man's way toward experiencing altered states of being and is not built on spiritual merit. Think of the effort that goes into working a muscle that shapes and defines it. It is through personal effort one achieves authentic higher states of being. One can take drugs and also have some of these types of experiences... yet, since the experience is not built on merit there are elements which are missing when it comes to maintaining a sustained connection to the upper spiritual realms. If effort is involved one can easily access these higher dimensions just with a thought as the pathways have been ingrained into the deeper strata of consciousness.

"for Theism: a deity will provide us with divinity to reach a higher state of being. (rapture)"

This also is false at some levels if one is to think of the deity as outside of oneself. The mystical union and rapture is a gift bestowed upon one within the higher inner spiritual dimensions. The experience itself is both internal and expansive due to the nature of experiencing zero point in a condition of pure acceptance and compassion. To experience the spiritual embrace of the Divine is to experience oneself as also Divine. It is through grace this occurs.
