This would imply, there is a slight level of awakening one must procur before being able to co-ordinate them selves with a Galactic/Universal power such as the confederation.
Hi Sirius,
I would tend to agree with a slightly different slant. I think that those that call are relatively uniformly distributed across the globe, and thus across all religions and anti-religious (for lack of a better name). Ultimately, it seems to me, that the call heard by the Confederation is from any and all that have reached a level of spiritual (not religious) advancement to feel (if not outright take) responsibility for their world and everything that occurs to them (and perhaps others) in it. I view this as a fundamental trait that all seekers have in common, and it is from this place of responsibility that one can then choose to affect the world to improve other's places in it (STO) or to improve your own (STS).
Furthermore, I would propose that some of the most strongly polarized STO people I have ever met are adamant agnostics or atheists. Still, even though they are absolutely convinced that their consciousness will be simply "turned off" once they die, they act selflessly and morally to advance the position and "lot in life" of other people. Even though they may not believe in a higher being and certainly do not pray, I believe that their actions and intent (which do speak louder than words) to serve others contributes greatly to the call heard by the Confederation.
Just thinking a little out of the box about what may actually constitute a "call".
Love and Light,
