"Learn the first lesson of cooperation. Become less and less selfish, and more and more selfless."  (ECRL 262-29)

Note: An earlier article explored extraterrestrial cultures and their recent interactions with our world, according to five experts on the subject. This new article takes a closer look at those ET cultures based on the work of other researchers and contactees (of whom there’ve been many). The aim of the article below is to figure out what’s really been going on with extraterrestrials in our world—not just recently, but across the eons—based on lots of evidence, some solid and indisputable (what I’d call “basic evidence”), and some requiring a bit of faith, intuition, and common sense (what I’d call “secondary evidence”). Sources of evidence (listed at the end) are referenced throughout the article like this: [ITC] [TRA] [LMH] [PH]…. When all the evidence comes together I think it paints a pretty compelling picture of extraterrestrial presence in our world. An alliance of highly advanced extraterrestrial cultures is said to be flourishing in our galaxy, representing many planets and star systems. Most of the members are human-like, but some are not (as these popular artworks suggest). [TRA, DM] They’d like us to join the alliance once we’re peaceful, resonant, and respectful of all life. Meanwhile, the ETs in the alliance watch our world with hope and concern, and do what they can to help us from behind the scenes. There’s so much diverse information about the greater cosmic realities beyond our view—such as God, angels, spirits and extraterrestrials—that it’s hard to know what’s true and what’s not… what’s important and what’s not. I’ve come to believe that the following items are among the true and important points we should know about extraterrestrials (ETs)—what we could call highly intelligent physical or quasi-physical beings who inhabit our galaxy, travel among the stars, and have visited the Earth: Advanced civilizations have flourished throughout the physical universe, including our Milky Way galaxy, for a very long time. For all intents and purposes, they’ve been here “from the beginning.” If we could measure the age of the universe by our concept of time (which is unreliable, unfortunately, because time is illusory), it would seem that the “beginning” was many billions of years ago. Long, long ago, our little solar system (Earth and the other seven or eight planets) was suddenly bombarded by trillions of meteors and asteroids. The Earth apparently had been colonized by one of those advanced civilizations before that “Heavy Bombardment” occurred, and somehow our most ancient ancestors survived the cataclysm. Life on Earth has been tenuous ever since. [ITC] Across the eons, influence on our world by advanced ET civilizations has been frequent and mostly positive. Despite their profound role in our world (pyramids, temples, cross-breeding…), many people on Earth today don’t believe that ETs exist, for various reasons. [AA] For example: 1) ETs and UFOs are interdimensional—beyond our concept of time and space—and when they get close to Earth, they appear to us only on rare occasions when they enter our dimension. Then they can disappear in the blink of an eye, making us wonder if we were hallucinating. 2) In the 1950s, when humanity was still reeling with fear from the second world war and the atom bomb, and when UFOs appeared frequently in the skies, some prominent governments (especially the USA under President Truman) adopted a policy to “protect” the public from additional fear by insisting that UFOs and extraterrestrials don’t really exist (even though some government officials were well aware of ET presence). Government still maintains the policy of denial. [LMH] 3) In addition to the mostly positive ET influences on our world, there’s also been a bit of genetic tinkering on us humans—alien abductions—by small races of troubled ETs (not of the galactic alliance) that we find intrusive, offensive, confusing and maybe frightening… what a lab animal probably feels while being poked, prodded, and abused by dispassionate scientists. We’d prefer to believe that these rare and repulsive practices don’t happen, but they apparently do. [KTBB] So when we think about extraterrestrials in relation to our planet, we humans have mixed feelings—from acceptance and awe, to denial, skepticism, and fear. Well, I’m convinced that ETs are real, and that the four things listed above can enhance our understanding while alleviating our fears about their presence in our world. That’s what I believe, so let’s see what history and prehistory have to say. Extraterrestrials and Earth (an overview) Primordial past (from the beginning) Ancient past (from the days of dinosaurs) Recent past (during the last 200 years) Overview: Extraterrestrials and Earth Many advanced cultures in our Milky Way galaxy are part of an alliance of civilizations from various planets and star systems (Pleiades, Orion, Arcturus, Andromeda, Sirius, Clarion, Aldebaran and Alpha Centauri of the Taurus constellation, and others). They’ve spread from their home planets onto fleets of spacecraft, which they control telepathically. Ships may not have noisy earth-like propulsion systems to move in the physical universe, but they’re assembled as quasi-living things that can move among dimensions through wormholes, or stargates, in order to travel vast distances instantly [TRA]. The ETs and their civilizations share information silently—mind-to-mind—with each other and with their ships, which are sometimes integrated with advanced fiberoptic threads loosely comparable to the nervous system in our bodies, and a ship is essentially inoperable until the ETs themselves enter the ship and connect to the network, for example with special headgear. Then they’re like the “brain” of the living ship, which can move quickly and fluidly without constraints of time, space, or gravity [LMH]. There are about 250 small, planetary cultures like ours in the galaxy that get attention from the alliance [TRA]. The galactic alliance tries to help planetary civilizations like Earth advance to the point where they can join the alliance. Earth is a special case for a couple of reasons: Across the millennia most people’s telepathic abilities have gone dormant as we’ve learned to communicate mostly with our words and languages. That’s a challenge to ETs, who communicate mind-to-mind and can’t convey their knowledge in familiar ways to the general public or to those whom we consider to be our leaders here on Earth. So they choose resonant, psychically sensitive humans with whom to share information, and that “channeled” information always gets filtered to some degree by the beliefs and knowledge of the human receivers. (I’m choosing channeled information carefully for this article… which is another filtering process. So again, the information here probably isn’t 100 percent reliable, but I think it’s close to the truth….) Also, Earth has a difficult symbiosis. Relationships among living things, including us humans, are often competitive, parasitic, and predatory, producing lots of fear, mistrust, and aggression in the world. Knowledge that ETs have shared with Earth in the past has often been used for conflict and destruction, which is against the mission of the alliance. So, as a rule, members of the alliance simply watch our “free-will planet” with a mixture of hope and concern. They’ll intervene in a big way only under special conditions, such as: If Earth civilization (our collective mind, so to speak) advances to the point where we achieve a large degree of peace and harmony, mental rapport, and a respect for all life, then the ETs will step in to assist us. Then we’ll be suitable to join their alliance. It’s what they call rising from a 3rd-dimensional to a 4th– or 5th-dimensional civilization. Meanwhile, if we keep advancing our technologies and putting them to use in destructive ways that can pose a threat to other worlds (not just other physical planets, but especially invisible worlds that are “close” to Earth in superimposed, “parallel” universes, which we’ll explore in a moment), then the alliance will step in to try to prevent a catastrophe. [GVT] Such catastrophes have occurred in the past—for example, the obliteration 4 billion years ago of an inhabited planet called Eden (or Marduk or Maldek or Lucifer…) that apparently circled our sun in an orbit between Mars and Jupiter. That calamity caused lots of lingering problems in our little corner of the omniverse [ITC]. That seems to be the alliance’s general rule of involvement with Earth nowadays: Noninterference until humanity reaches either a turning point toward peace… or a tipping point toward destruction. But there are exceptions. ETs do interact with our world—not to the extent they did in ancient times when they apparently built pyramids and temples, but they do have a quiet, behind-the-scenes influence on us, for better or worse. Better: 1) As certain individuals refine their telepathic abilities, they can connect mentally with advanced ETs in the alliance who share knowledge, encouragement, and sometimes warnings to help our world rise to the next phase of its evolution—galactic membership [TRA, SK, MO]. 2) Some Earth communities (especially around the Adriatic Sea) are said to have refined extraterrestrials living quietly among them [PH]. 3) A refined extraterrestrial can merge with a human at the spiritual level to incarnate as a person who resonates at a finer vibration. Millions of such spiritual hybrids have been born on Earth in recent decades in hopes of creating new generations of starseeds, or children of the light… but there have been mixed results with these hybrids. Their sensitivities often make them susceptible to addictions and violence, for example. [TRA] Worse: Lesser species of ETs (sometimes called greys and reptoids) conduct physical genetic experiments on humans, with or without their consent (and in opposition to the galactic alliance) apparently to produce human-alien hybrid species [KTBB]. They’re able to sort of hypnotize people into a trance or dream state, bring them aboard their ships, conduct experiments on them, then return them to their beds. The experience is quickly forgotten like a bad dream. These “alien abductions” are sometimes sanctioned by governments (especially the USA) in exchange for technical knowledge about spacecraft and weapons [LMH]. So let’s take a look at the rich history of ET involvement with our world across the eons… and let’s start at the beginning. Primordial History How did life come to exist in our universe? Did it evolve from the microcosm—atoms and molecules becoming amino acids and nucleotides, then living cells and multi-celled plants and animals? Probably, but what if that’s just a sidebar to the bigger story? Life-energy streams endlessly from the source to create and nourish everything in the omniverse. It’s like a pure, nonvibrating light that starts to vibrate very fast as soon as it leaves the source. The vibrating life-energy gets slower and denser as it spreads out-beyond… all the way to the material universes at level 1. Every universe, planet and entity has a “place” in the omniverse that’s defined by its unique vibration (not by its “location,” which is illusory). The vibrations could be thought of as “impurities” of the perfect light of the source. The slower and denser the vibration, the more “impure” it is. The material realm (level 1) is the most impure and illusory. I think the bigger story of the origin of life is depicted in this diagram. It’s a pulled-apart view of the omniverse with its many entities, worlds, and parallel universes (fine, white circles) all divided into seven arbitrary levels. (Everything in the diagram is really superimposed in the same “space,” but that’s hard for the human mind to fathom… and even harder to illustrate… hence the pulled-apart view.) Essentially, life-energy originates from the source and streams out-beyond in waves, creating countless possibilities for universes, worlds, and living beings to come into existence and to evolve of their own free will. Pure, brilliant life that flourishes at level 7 swirls out-beyond into level 6 to manifest life that’s slightly less pure and less brilliant, which swirls into level 5, and so on… all the way into the material universes at level 1, where illusions and impurities abound. It makes sense, then, that life-energy has been streaming into our material universe from finer realms virtually forever… and various forms of life have been here, again, virtually forever. By this definition, the entire omniverse is a living thing. *There are purifying techniques that we on Earth can use to raise our vibration and “lighten” ourselves. Meditation and prayer can foster a conscious contact with the source while washing away some of the impurities of Earth living. Then, when we observe others in our world, we can get in the habit of looking through their impurities to see the perfect light inherent in everyone. If most people did that, Earth would probably be members of the galactic alliance by now. The following message** was received by our INIT group in the 1990s. It sheds some insights about our world in primordial times: “Long, long ago when humans came to Earth from Eden (or Marduk), they lost mastery over nature after their dissension with the serpent. This was the start of a drama which would cast its shadow even to the beginning of a new religion of a new God. Humans had to fight against nature and some of its most dangerous creatures. You call them monsters, but they were only life forms which defended themselves and their kind. These creatures did not subject themselves to the intellectual superiority of humans and had to be defeated and destroyed by cunning and strength…. “The downfall of the civilization you often call Atlantis, also known by other names… was brought about by the descendants of the last inhabitants of Marduk who became marooned on planet Terra. This downfall came through reliance and blind trust in a massive technology.” (from the Contact! journal, fall of 1996) [ITC] **The message was delivered by seven ethereal beings (through the computer of INIT members Maggy Fischbach and Jules Harsch of Luxembourg in 1995)… probably the same as the “Council of Seven Lights” mentioned by George Van Tassell near the end of the article. “The Seven” said that in the course of their long, long lives, some of them have incarnated on occasion to experience life in a material universe at level 1—like a human or an ET—while one or two of them have only lived as finer spiritual beings at finer levels, experiencing carnal living only second-hand. That short message sheds light on our extraterrestrial beginnings and primordial history. Here’s what I think it means: Long, long ago Eden (also called Marduk, Maldek, Lucifer, and other names) was a planet in our solar system between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. The superhuman inhabitants of Eden—a Saturn-sized, paradise world—colonized smaller nearby planets, including Earth. [ITC] At some point—probably some 4 billion years ago*—Eden was pulverized, resulting in what scientists call the LHB, or Late Heavy Bombardment, when asteroids began pummeling all the planets in our solar system. Only the Earth colonies survived. (*Radioactive argon has a billion-year half-life, so while carbon14 dating can assess the age of things thousands of years old, argon39 dating can test things billions of years old… in this case moon-melts from many ancient meteor impacts that all happened about the same time: 3.9 billion years ago.) Where did the Edenites originally come from long, long, long ago—long before the obliteration of their world? They might have migrated to our solar system from another star system in the galaxy. Or, more likely, they incarnated from a spiritual template of Eden (probably at level 3). That level-3 paradise world (Eden or Marduk) still flourishes today, long after the obliteration of the physical planet, and many people from Earth awaken there after they die. It’s like the “spirit body” of the late Planet Eden. [ITC] After the explosion of Eden, despite the chaos from shrapnel in our solar system, our marooned, superhuman ancestors were stewards of a relatively peaceful Earth until contentious dinosaurs (the “serpent”) emerged on our planet. Then they “lost mastery over nature.” [ITC] It’s taken me a quarter-century to reconcile that mind-boggling scenario, but based on those ITC messages (when coupled with scientific evidence) it’s the scenario that makes the most sense to me. The Edenite colonists were what we today would call “extraterrestrials”—intelligent beings not of the Earth—and they lived long ago… perhaps from “the beginning” of our material universe as it spun into being from finer (spiritual) universes. Since then, there’s apparently been an extensive ET influence on our world, especially during the rise and fall of Atlantis, when mighty temples and pyramids were built on Earth, cataclysmic wars were fought, and genetic experimenting with plants and animals was done with abandon… which brings us to ancient history. Ancient History Cutline: Clockwise, from top left: 1) Pyramid of the Sun, north of Mexico City. 2) Kailasa Temple carved meticulously out of a massive rock near Ellora, India. 3) Ancient carvings of futuristic vehicles in the Temple of Seti at Abydos, Egypt. 4) Two ancient relics depicting humans contending with dinosaurs. Late last century more than 30,000 clay figurines like the brown one were dug up at Acambaro, Mexico, and more than 15,000 carved andesite stones like the black and white one were found near Ica, Peru. They were all evidently buried long ago, though current science has no method to measure their age. There’s a lot of hard, basic evidence of extraterrestrial presence in our world in ancient times. The pictures above are just a small sampling. Mainstream scientists have a difficult time grappling with that evidence. They suggest that our “primitive ancestors” of the past 5,000 years somehow had the technology and artistry to create things like mighty pyramids and temples (the top two pictures)—feats that are even beyond the scope of modern technologies like industrial construction, large machine tooling, and 3-D printing. They dismiss ancient carvings and artifacts (the bottom three pictures) as a hoax but provide no sensible* evidence as to who the hoaxters were or what their means and motives might have been. (*Pseudoscientists prevalent on wikipedia claim that an impoverished Peruvian farmer named Basilio Uschuya might have somehow bought an expensive dentist’s drill and carved the 15,000 hardened Ica stones in his spare time… a project that would take a gifted artist about 225,000 hours of meticulous work to achieve. Archeologist and creationist pastor Dr Dennis Swift disagrees: “Whenever the stones of Ica are mentioned, Basilio Uschuya is alleged to be the forger. I have known Basilio for many years, and have visited him in Ocucaje several times. Basilio is a poor, uneducated Peruvian who has been at the center of the whirlwind surrounding the authenticity of the Ica stones. Basilio lives in a shack with a dirty floor without any kind of modern gadget. He has no television, no electric generator, and lives on about 20 dollars a month.”) It’s no exaggeration to say that today’s scientific cosmology (based on the ideas of Darwin and Newton) is starting to crack and crumble under the weight of ancient pyramids, temples, and other rock-solid evidence of advanced, ancient civilizations. Recent History Let’s start with a list of six well-documented, extraordinary interactions with refined ETs in the recent past: [TRA, AA, DJN], MO, PH…] https://macyafterlife.files.wordpress.com/2021/09/08g-contacteescollage-temp-2.png?w=498 [JS] In 1823, 17-year-old Joseph Smith awakened one night when his room in the small family cabin lit up like the sun. He said he was visited by a light being who introduced himself as Moroni (sometimes referred to as an angel, sometimes a Pleiadian ET). That brief visit and the information Smith received became the foundation of the Mormon religion. [MO] – Maria Orsic (1895-1945), a young, mediumistically gifted Croatian woman, was living in Munich, Germany in the 1920s while a philosophical renaissance was underway. She was influenced by Ariosophy (Aryan wisdom) of the Thule Society, or society of “hyperborea,” a legendary paradise of perpetual springtime “located beyond the north winds.” She formed the Vril circle of female psychics around 1917 in Munich. They received extensive knowledge from refined, “Aryan” ETs about the history of their two worlds in the Aldebaran star system in the Taurus constellation, their interest in Earth, and their interstellar vehicles… knowledge that was ultimately adopted and retooled by Nazi Germany for political and military purposes. [GVT ] – George Van Tassel, 1950s American aviator and ufologist, was the first known contactee by the “Ashtar Command,” who claimed to represent an alliance of advanced ETs from many star systems. Van Tassel built a three-story “integratron” in the Mojave desert so that the building itself and the people in it might resonate enough with the ETs to enable communication and collaboration… but he died shortly before it was completed. [V] – “Vrillon of the Ashtar Galactic Command” interrupted a television broadcast in southern England in 1977 to deliver a greeting and warning to the people of Earth. There’s no researcher associated with this event, but hundreds of viewers called the TV station, whose staff were completely baffled and had no explanation for the broadcast interrupt. (Another prominent member of the Ashtar Command is a being called Sananda, who our highly refined spirit friends The Seven told my INIT group is one of several aspects of the late Jesus of Nazareth. Another aspect of Jesus is called Pescator and “lives in the Moreysian Mountains” on the spirit world called Eden or Marduk, where many people on Earth awaken after they die.) [GA] – George Adamski, UFO photographer, reported being visited by a cultivated ET called Orthon in 1952 while driving in the California desert. Friends along for the ride confirmed watching the UFO land, Adamski climbing out of the car and approaching the craft, and the ET, Orthon, emerging from the craft to exchange information with Adamski. [PH] – Paola Harris is an Italian-American writer/researcher of exopolitics—government policy toward and interaction with ETs—and close encounters between ETs and humans in southern Europe. Her sources (and friends) include Maurizio Cavallo, who was visited by human-like ETs from a planet they called Clarion and took many Polaroid photos of them aboard their ship. (photos used with permission) All of those contactees had similar experiences: When in the presence of the refined extraterrestrials, they all felt a sense of vast knowledge, wisdom, unconditional love, and concern for the fate of our world. This message is indicative of the ETs’ motivations: Hail to you, beings of Shan (Earth). I greet you in love and peace. My identity is Ashtar, commandant quadra sector, patrol station Schare, all projections, all waves. Greetings through The Council of the Seven Lights. You (George Van Tassell) have been brought here inspired with the inner light to help your fellow man. You are mortals, and other mortals can only understand that which their fellow man can understand. The purpose of this organization is, in a sense, to save mankind from himself. Some years ago your time, your nuclear physicists penetrated the “Book of Knowledge”; they discovered how to explode the atom. Disgusting as the results have been, that this force should be used for destruction, it is not compared to that which can be. We have not been concerned with their explosion of plutonium and UR 235, the Uranium mother element; this atom is an inert element. We are concerned, however, with their attempt to explode the hydrogen element. This element is life-giving along with five other elements in the air you breathe, in the water you drink, in the composition of your physical substance: hydrogen….* Rest assured, they shall cease to explode life giving atoms, or we shall eliminate all projects connected with such. Our missions are peaceful, but this condition occurred before in this solar system and the planet, Lucifer, was torn to bits. We are determined that it shall not happen again. The governments on the planet Shan have conceded that we are of a higher intelligence, they must concede also that we are of a higher authority. We do not have to enter their buildings to know what they are doing. We have the formula they would like to use. It is not meant for destruction. Your purpose here has been to build a receptivity that we could communicate with your planet, for by the attraction of light substance—atoms—we patrol your universe. To your government and to your people and through them to all governments and all people on the planet of Shan, accept the warning as a blessing that mankind may survive. My light, we shall remain in touch here at this cone of receptivity. My love, I am Ashtar. —Message to George Van Tassell, July 18, 1952, from his book, I Rode a Flying Saucer *Channeled information like this is always filtered to some degree by the mind of the human receiver—adjusted to fit the person’s beliefs and understanding. For example, a hydrogen bomb doesn’t actually explode hydrogen atoms, but fuses them to form helium. It could be a semantical difference, but I removed most of the information about hydrogen bombs from the message. I think Ashtar’s main point is simply that if humanity wants to destroy life on Earth, that’s regrettable, but harming other worlds in the process? That’s unacceptable. Other sources of information for this article include: [LMH] – Linda Moulton Howe (American journalist who’s delved into clandestine interactions between ETs and the US government since the 1950s). She interviewed a soldier (an “Agent Kewper Stein”) who’d been on loan to the CIA in the 1950s to visit Area 51, where he saw 1) an alien autopsy film that had been shot after the 1947 Roswell crash, 2) a large hangar filled with more than a dozen ET flying discs of dull, silver finish, ranging in size from about 20 feet to 60 feet in diameter, and 3) an interrogation room where an ET (a “Grey”) was communicating mentally with government officials. [TRA] – Tony and Robyn Abbott (Australian psychics who receive information from the more refined ET races about their lives, their worlds, and their interactions with Earth, both now and in ancient times. They’ve published many books, including Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Aliens, and Not Yet! Earth and the Ashtar Command). [KTBB] – Alien-abductee Dr Karla Turner and regression hypnotherapist Barbara Bartholic (recent American ufologists who tracked abductions by Greys and Reptoids). [AA] – Researchers and writers of the Ancient Aliens TV series produced by the History channel (streaming on Netlix, Hulu….). [DJN] – Damien John Nott (Prolific Australian UFO photographer). [DM] – Ashtar Command Everything You Wanted to Know (dailymotion video). [ITC] – Instrumental transcommunication is the use of technology to get in touch with the worlds of spirit, especially through a dedicated bridge like the one experienced by INIT, the International Network for Instrumental Transcommunication, in the late 1990s. That bridge was forged and facilitated by The Seven ethereal beings to allow clear communication between us and hundreds of our late families and friends and ancestors living in the spirit world Eden or Marduk. They also divulged a bit of information about ETs. 2016 — A UFO wobbling above Guan­gzhou, China, caused a massive traffic jam as people climbed out of their cars to capture the moment on their mobile phones. 2021 — Damien John Nott is among the most prolific UFO photographers today. He says that he and others often get a feeling of when and where a UFO will appear, and several of them will show up to capture the event on film. And still, government agencies (hence mainstream science) today continue to deny the existence of extraterrestrials. Even the latest government report released in July 2021 (US Congress ordered the US Defense Department and Intelligence community to divulge everything they knew about extraterrestrials) was essentially nine short pages of waffling and denial. One way to get a full disclosure from Uncle Sam, ironically, might be to cut off all defense spending until he (the US government) levels with the world and shares everything he knows about extraterrestrials. Acknowledgments Special thanks to reader Kate for the connection to Vrillon; to Dr John Day for the connections to Linda Moulton Howe, Maria Orsic, and Exopolitics founder Dr Michael Salla, who (like Dr Steven Greer noted in my earlier article) is a cornerstone in modern extraterrestrial research; to Evelyn Banna for the connection to the late Dr Karla Turner and Barbara Bartholic; and to Don Marsh and Walter Rucker for a broad exposure to extraterrestrials. And finally, here’s a chronological list of some of the well-documented UFO sightings during the past century or so: 1865 — An old trapper named James Lumley witnessed a UFO crash along the upper Missouri River. 1897 — A UFO was seen flying low above Aurora, Texas, as though lost, until it crashed into the windmill of “Judge Proctor.” The mangled body of a nonhumanoid ET was found in the craft and later buried in the local cemetery. 1930s — Scandinavians saw “ghost flyers,” small spacecraft that flew long distances, often through severe blizzards, without refueling, apparently to observe military bases and navy ships. 1930s — An Inuit (Eskimo) encampment at Lake Angikuni, Canada, disappeared around the time that an enormous craft was seen hovering in the sky by nearby trappers Armand Laurent and his sons. The Inuits’ dogs (dead of starvation), rifles, half-cooked meals (now moldy), hanging clothes, and other possessions all remained at the scene. 1941 — Police, firemen, and preacher William Huffman from Cape Girardeau, Missouri, arrived at the scene of a silver saucer UFO crash—its side ripped open, exposing two dead aliens and one dying, unable to breathe. 1947 — US pilot Ken Arnold reported seeing nine crescent-shaped UFOs flying at 1,700 mph over Mt Rainier in Washington State. 1947 — A UFO crashed near Roswell, New Mexico. Bodies of Zeta Reticuli (greys) were found and the site, moved to a hangar at Area 51, and studied by doctors and nurses. 1964 — Socorro, New Mexico, policeman Lonnie Zamorra saw a UFO land, stopped his car, and watched two 4-ft-tall ETs dressed in white moving around the UFO. 1967 — Amateur geologist Stefan Michalak saw two glowing, cigar-shaped objects hovering near Falcon Lake, Canada. One flew off, the other landed nearby. After sketching the UFO, he approached quietly, touched the vessel (which burned his gloves), then glanced into the open doorway, and saw a panel of blinking lights. The doorway closed, the craft rotated, and tiny holes in the craft sprayed him with scorching gas the set his hat and shirt on fire. 1974 — A small plane collided with a UFO near Coyame, Mexico, one of many UFO encounters in Mexico since the 1970s. 1980 —British and American servicemen observed a glowing, triangular UFO with a tripod hovering and then landing in nearby Rendlesham Forest (UK). 1991 — Hundreds of spectator saw a round, silver UFO during an air show in Mexico City. It showed up again the following year at the same annual air show. 2004 — Mexican Air Force pilots, searching for drug smugglers, saw UFOs flying at 11,500 feet above southern Campeche. 2006 — A UFO hovered above O’Hare International Airport in Chicago. 2010 — Xianshan Airport in China was closed for two hours as a UFO hovered over the airport.

“SHE MUST BE A PURE VESSEL”: ANEXAMINATION OF A SPIRIT MEDIUM Persona This article is on the amazing Rosmary Brown, 1916-2001. It is certainly an unusual case in music history.

Edward Walter Wallis was born in Teddington, Middlesex in 1855, the youngest of four children. His father was a grocer and although not a religious family, they sent their sons to a Baptist school. The fire and brimstone teachings of the church turned Wallis against religion. At the same time, his mother, father, and siblings exhibited mediumistic abilities and held seances in their home. While growing up, the spirit world advised the family and provided healing. Eventually, public gossip turned against the family and the seances were discontinued. In 1872 Wallis’ uncle William, a traveling missionary, visited the family and left a copy of the book, Medium. Intrigued, Wallis found a local spiritualist meeting at Kingston-on-Thames and attended it with his father and uncle. He also convinced his mother to hold seances again. Wallis first exhibited his abilities through spirit writing. Later he entered trance and allowed the spirits to speak through him. Lightheart, the spirit of a South American Indian, was his main spirit guide, but he had several others. Edward produced physical phenomena for many years. Edward married Minnie Harriet Eagar who was also a notable medium in 1876 and they had three sons. Minnie did not enter trance but spoke the words she heard from the spirits. A young Spanish Indian girl, Veina Goree, was her main spirit guide. Minnie was a member of the London Spiritualist Alliance and answered questions on Spiritualism in afternoon meetings. At one point, Wallis left for America on a missionary tour. Wallis’ standing in the spiritualist community increased both as a medium and writer. He helped Emma Hardinge Britten found Two Worlds in 1887 and worked for her until 1899. He took over the editorship of Light in 1905 when editor Edmond Rogers fell ill and remained as editor for ten years. He changed the focus of the paper from one more focused on science, which he thought was failing to understand the “grand workings of nature” to a more philosophical view. He continually criticized Christianity for lacking proof and being hypocritical. Wallis and Minnie wrote A Guide to Mediumship and Physical Unfoldment (1910) and Spiritualism in the Bible (1904). They wrote: “The spirit is connected with the body by means of the soul, or psychical body, which in turn affects the brain, the nerves and muscles of the outer body, through the agency of which it expresses itself, and the quality and extent of such expression will depend upon the degree of responsiveness and psychic development in the individual concerned.” Edward Wallis died in 1914, just before the beginning of WWI. Minnie died in 1939. Additional Reading: Glenney, Brian (2009) “Light, More Light’: The ‘Light’ Newspaper, Spiritualism, and British Society, 1881-1920. Clemson University Thesis.

Life After Life Blog Digest September 2021 Language Changes As We Approach The Threshold By Lisa Smartt You are describing to a friend what a chair looks like. That’s simple, isn’t it? How about explaining the sensation of being in love? Can you easily convey the taste of a chocolate bar to someone who has never eaten chocolate? Now, how would you describe a deeply spiritual moment to someone who has never had one? Certain concepts are harder to put into words than others. If you are like most people, you will find the task of describing a chair to be relatively easy. And the person you are speaking to will likely understand everything you are saying — there is little chance for misunderstanding. Your two perceptions of reality in this case overlap pretty closely. Hidden Treasures: 1995’s ‘Seeing The Unseen’ DVD The History of Using Clear-Depth Gazing for After-Death Communication In Western cultures, death often means the loss of a loved one–never to speak to them again. But what if death just requires a different form of communication? For thousands of years, people all over the world have communicated with the dead using various forms of scrying, also known as clear-depth gazing. Intellectuals like John Dee, Nostradamus, Plato, and even entire civilizations such as the Aztecs, Greeks, Egyptians, Persians, and many others, used clear-depth gazing with reflective cups, pools of water, cauldrons, and mirrors so that the bereaved could continue their connection with the dead. Clear-depth gazing has been, and continues to be, a way of seeing visions of things past and moments in the future. Used by cultures primitive and advanced, scrying is seeing a resurgence in practice to “See the unseen.” The Indifference of Dying By Sandy Coghlan One evening in 1987, my mother went to bed. She didn’t get up again for a year. Convinced she was dying, I became desperate to know if there was any truth to the existence of the afterlife. I also needed to know what it felt like to die. This took more courage than I thought I possessed. Like most people, I didn’t want to think about death. Heck, I couldn’t even look at the page in the newspaper where names of people who had died were listed! Ah, but once I took my first step on this journey, I discovered that dying appeared to be nowhere near as confronting as I had feared. Near-Death Experiences in Childhood and Their Lifelong Impact By Dr. PMH Atwater A newspaper headline of March 2015 reads: “Toddler Dead For 101 Minutes Is Now Alive.” The news clip told of a Pennsylvania toddler who was pulled from an icy creek. No pulse. No breathing. No neurological function. Yet the child came back to life – unscathed. Children, like the toddler in the newspaper clipping, typically see the dead, have conversations with angels, manifest stunning psychic abilities, have future memory, see and hear what is invisible to anyone else, and know things beyond their years. This is my second study of child experiencers. No Accidents – Signs Surround You By Laurie Majka What rules your life: destiny, fate, coincidences, chance or free will? Perhaps it's a combination of them all. Largely I believe your life follows a blueprint, or as I like to call it – a screenplay...that you wrote to have certain experiences in this Matrix like game of life. Which means, there are more destiny than chance occurrences. What if you had a contract with every single person you encountered? After all, a simple dirty look or a smile from you can have an untold ripple effect on another. In 2012 one of my closest Soul Mates left this Earth, and he has become a guide for me from the Other Side. He regularly sends me signs to remind me of his loving presence. Because of my experiences I may be more aware than most of the opportunities I have to help empower the people who cross my path. I believe my life’s purpose is to help send positive energy into the world. I would like to share one such story… Available Now In his new book, Dr. Raymond Moody looks at God and how his personal understanding of the Creator has changed over the course of his life and research into near-death experiences. Dr. Moody organizes his insights about God into 12 simple but profound ideas and walks us through them using stories and examples from his own life and from accounts of encounters with God in the hereafter. He looks at our society's beliefs about God, how religion can both help and hinder our relationships with the Divine, and how we can bring Source into our lives with a new understanding that transcends all limits.

This issue is a harvest of healing energy. First of all, the Angels show us ways we can raise our energy, page 4. Then, what could be better news than to know our energy (Soul) lives on after death? Read Steve’s book review “The Afterlife Codes: Evidence of the Survival of the Soul,” page 6. Cherrie Hanson takes a look at some thought forms that perhaps need to be cut from our psyche, in her article The Queen of Swords, page 8. A new contributor, Herbalist Gigi Stafne teaches us about plant-spirit-medicine, page 10. These are just a few of many ideas to read and integrate into your life this month. “Everything is energy; and, energy is everything,” as stated by Albert Einstein, is also one of the main tenets in feng shui. We understand that everything we live with has an energy, or chi, that either raises or lowers our personal chi by our associations with the item. One of the first things I do when working with a client is to do a walk-thru where we begin to sort out and remove the things that lower their energy. If you don’t love or use an item, what’s it doing in your house? Read more by feng shui expert and author, Terah Kathryn Collins on page 22. Last but not least on my mind as I put the final touches on this issue, is the horrible unrest in Afghanistan. I recall a meme that circulated on Facebook a while ago of a little girl standing in front of a mirror asking, “Why can’t everyone just get along?” My sentiments exactly! The only answer I can offer is this. War goes on due to a state of unforgiveness over what has happened in the past. If only we could forgive all of history and all of the mistakes that were made ~ every one of us and every one of them ~ and go forward in peace with a clean slate… our world would most certainly change and we would all get along ~ just like that little girl wished. Yeah, if only… To read more: https://www.theinnervoicemagazine.com/

How a Spirit Explained Levitation to Allan Kardec Posted on 30 August 2021, 9:08 As the last two posts here have been about levitations, I’m concluding the subject matter with an interview Allan Kardec, (below) the renowned French psychical researcher, had with the spirit of St. Louis, as set forth in Kardec’s 1874 book,The Book on Mediums. The “universal fluid” referred to is apparently what later came to be called ectoplasm, teleplasm, or od, while the “perispirit” is now called the etheric or spirit body. Considering later research on od and ectoplasm, it makes much sense to me, but you can believe it or not! Kardec: Is the universal fluid an emanation from the Divinity? St. Louis: No. Kardec: Is the universal fluid at the same time the universal element? St. Louis: Yes, it is the elementary principal of all things. Kardec: Has it any relation to the electric fluid whose effects we know? St. Louis: It is its element. Kardec: What is the state in which the universal fluid is presented to us in its greatest purity? St. Louis: To find it in its absolute purity, you must mount to the pure spirits; in your world it is always more or less modified to form the compact matter that surrounds you; at the same time you may say that the state in which it approaches most nearly to purity, is that of the fluid you call animal magnetic fluid. Kardec: It has been said that the universal fluid is the source of life; is it at the same time the source of intelligence? St. Louis: No; this fluid animates only matter. Kardec: Since it is this fluid which composes the perispirit, it appears to be there in a kind of condensed state, which approximates it, up to a certain point, matter so called. St. Louis: Up to a certain point, as you say, for it has not all its properties; it is more or less condensed, according to the worlds. Kardec: What is the operation by which a spirit moves a solid body? St. Louis: He combines a portion of the universal fluid with the fluid exhaled from the medium suitable to this effect. Kardec: Do the spirits raise the table with the aid of their members in some degree solidified? St. Louis: This answer will not yet lead to what you desire. When a table is moved under your hands, the spirit evoked draws from the universal fluid what animates the table with a factitious life. The table thus prepared, the spirit attracts it and moves it under the influence of his own fluid thrown off by his will. When the mass he wishes to move is too heavy for him, he calls to his aid spirits who are in the same condition as himself. By reason of his ethereal nature, the spirit proper cannot act on gross matter without intermediary, that is to say, without the link that unites it to matter: this link, which you call perispirit, gives you the key to all material spirit phenomena. I believe I have expressed myself clearly for you to understand. Kardec: Are the spirits he calls to his aid inferior? Are they under his orders? St. Louis: Equal, almost always; sometimes they come of themselves. Kardec: Are all spirits able to produce phenomena of this kind? St. Louis: The spirits who produce these effects are always inferior spirits, who are not entirely disengaged from all material influence. Kardec: We understand that the superior spirits are not occupied by things that are beneath them; but we ask if, by reason, of their being more dematerialized, they would have the power if they had the will? St. Louis: They have the moral strength, as the others have the physical strength, when they require this strength, they make use of those who possess it. Have they not told you that they make use of inferior spirits as you do of porters? Kardec: If we have thoroughly understood what you have said, the vital principal resides in the universal fluid; the spirit draws in this fluid the semi-material envelope which constitutes his perispirit, and it is by means of this fluid that he acts on inert matter. Is it so? St. Louis: Yes, that is to say, he animates matter with a kind of factitious life; the matter is animated with animal life. The table that moves under your hands lives like the animal; it obeys the intelligent being. It is not he who pushes it as a man does a burden; when the table is raised, it is not the spirit who raises it by strength of arm, it is the animated table that obeys the impulse given by the spirit. Kardec: What is the part of the medium in this matter? St. Louis: I have said it; the fluid of the medium is combined with the universal fluid accumulated by the spirit: the union these two fluids is necessary; that is to say, the animalized fluid with the universal fluid, to give life to the table. But remark that this life is only momentary; it is extinguished with the action, and often before the end of the action, as soon as the quantity of fluid is sufficient to animate it. Kardec: Can the spirit act without the concurrence of a medium? St. Louis: It can act in spite of the medium; that is to say, that no doubt many persons serve as auxiliaries to the spirits for certain phenomena. The spirit draws from them as from a source, the animalized fluid he needs; it is thus that the concurrence of the medium, as you understand it, is not always necessary; which is the case particularly in spontaneous phenomena. Kardec: Does the animated table act with intelligence? St. Louis: It thinks no more than the stick with which you make an intelligent sign, but the vitality with which it is animated permits it to obey the impulse of an intelligence. Understand that the table that moves does not become spirit, and that it has of itself neither thought nor will. Kardec: Which is the preponderating cause in the production of this phenomena, the spirit or the fluid? St. Louis: The spirit is the cause, the fluid is the instrument; both are necessary. Kardec: What part does the will of the medium play in this case? St. Louis: To call the spirits, and to second them in the impulse given to the fluid. Kardec: Is the action of the will always indispensable? St. Louis: It adds power, but it is not always necessary. Kardec: Why cannot everyone produce the same effect? And why have not all mediums the same power? St. Louis: That depends on the organization, and the greater or less facility with which the combination of fluids can operate; then the spirit of the medium sympathizes more or less with the foreign spirits who find in him the necessary fluidic power. This power, like that of magnetizers, is greater or less. Under this relation there are persons who are altogether refractory; others with whom the combination operates only by an exertion of their will. Others, finally, with whom it takes place so naturally and so easily that they are not aware of it, and serve as instruments against their will, as we have already said. Kardec: Can persons called electric be considered as mediums? St. Louis: These persons draw from themselves the fluid necessary to the production of the phenomena, and can act without the help of foreign spirits. Thus, they are not mediums in the sense attached to this word; but a spirit can assist them, and profit by their natural disposition. Kardec: Is the spirit that acts on solid bodies in the substance of the bodies or outside of it? St. Louis: Both; we have said that matter is no obstacle to spirits; they penetrate everything; a portion of the perispirit is identified, so to say, with the object it penetrates. Kardec: How does the spirit manage to strike? Does he make use of the material object? St. Louis: No more than of his arms to raise the table. You well know that he has no hammer at his disposal. His hammer is the combined fluid put in action to move or to strike. When he moves, the light brings you the sight of the movements; when he strikes, the air brings you the sound. Kardec: We can understand that when he strikes on a hard body, but how can he make us hear noises or articulate sounds in the air? St. Louis: Since he can act on matter, he can act on air as well as on the table. As to articulate sounds, he can imitate them, as he can all other noises. Kardec: You say that spirits do not use their hands to remove the table; yet, in certain visual manifestations, hands have been seen to appear whose fingers have wandered over the keyboard of a piano, moved the keys, and caused sounds. Would it not seem that in this case the movement of the keys is produced by the pressure of the fingers? Is not this pressure as direct and real when it is felt on ourselves, when these hands leave imprints on the skin? St. Louis: You can understand the nature of spirits and their manner of acting only by comparisons, which give you an incomplete idea, and it is wrong to always wish to assimilate their processes to your own. Their processes must bear relation to their organization. Have I not told you that fluid of the perispirit penetrates matter, and is identified with it, that it animates it with a factitious life? Well, when the spirit rests his fingers on the keys, he puts them there really, and even moves them; but it is not by muscular force that he presses the keys; he animates it as he animated the table, and the key, which obeys his will, moves and strikes the chord. There is one thing you will have trouble in comprehending; it is this: that some spirits are so little advanced, and so material in comparison to the elevated spirits, that they still have the illusions of the terrestrial life, and believe they act as when they had their body. They can no more give a reason of the true cause of the effects they produce than a peasant can give a reason for the theory of the sounds he articulates; ask them how they play the piano, they will tell you they strike on it with their fingers, because they believe they do strike it; the effect is produced instinctively with them, without their knowing how yet by their will. When they make you hear words, it is the same thing. Kardec: Among the phenomena cited in proof of the action of an occult power, there are some evidently contrary to all the known laws of nature. Does not doubt then seem to be permitted? St. Louis: It is because man is far from knowing all the laws of nature. If he knew them all he would be a superior spirit. Every day, however, gives the lie to those who, thinking they know everything, presume to set bounds to nature, and they are none the less haughty. In constantly unveiling new mysteries God warns men to down their own lights, for the day will come when the science of the most learned will be put to confusion. Have you not everyday examples of bodies animated by a movement capable of overcoming the force of gravity? Does not the bullet, shot into the air, momentarily overcome this force? Poor men, who think themselves so learned, and whose silly vanity is every instant disconcerted, that know you are still very small.

Emma Hardinge Britten’s life encompassed and reflected many of the challenges and opportunities afforded to women in the Victorian world. This dissertation explores the multi-layered Victorian landscape through the life of an individual in order not only to tell her individual story, but also to gain a more nuanced understanding of how nineteenth-century norms of gender, class, religion, science and politics combined to create opportunities and obstacles for women in Britten’s generation. Britten was an actor, a musician, a writer, a theologian, a political activist, a magazine publisher, a spirit medium, a lecturer, and a Spiritualist missionary. Taking into account her multiple subjectivities, this dissertation relies on historical biography to contextualize Britten’s life in a number of areas, including Modern Spiritualism and political and civic engagement in the second half of the nineteenth century in Britain, the U.S., and Australia. The dissertation is organized thematically in a quasi-chronological manner. Time frames overlap between chapters, as Britten travels from the realm of politics to that of science and to religion. Each chapter reflects this transformation of Britten’s multiple intellectual and spiritual engagements, including performance, religion, politics and science. extra information: https://www.academia.edu/29730607/Spirited_Pioneer_The_Life_of_Emma_Hardinge_Britten?email_work_card=interaction-paper

PHYSICIANS' UNTOLD STORIES Dr. Scott http://victorzammit.com/images/physiciansuntoldstories.jpgKolbaba has been a physician at Wheaton, Illinois for over 35 years. He and 26 other courageous physicians came together to write a one-of-a-kind book called “Physicians’ Untold Stories”. It includes near-death experiences, inspired visions, dreams, unexplained miraculous healing, and more. These stories are all true and cannot be explained by current day medical school training. Slowly, so slowly we are having ordinary doctors braving the profession and risking their own to come together to begin to tell what most of us know.

BACK IN PRINT! Following on from The Supreme Adventure and Events on the Threshold of the After Life, What Happens When You Die documents in detail reported after-death experiences to the still living. The evidence from these and other sources around the world is often consistent – there is no death – we are told, other than the death of the physical body. As with his other works, Dr Crookall cites evidence, demonstrating that his reasoning is well thought through. He concludes that man is a multiple being, and that the part of him that gives him character, personality – his soul – is immortal. The author sums up his motivation for writing this book in the introduction where he writes: “This book replaces unreasoning fear with knowledge of what actually happens at the moment of death and after and of the strict spiritual laws involved. Death is no more than a transition, a passing, as it were, through a door from one room to another; although those left behind are unable to see into the next room, those who have gone ahead are closer in spirit than before. The fact is that death is a minor incident, a well-ordered and beneficent process, which is to be accepted with gratitude and peace.” About the author Publisher: White Crow Books Published August 24, 2021 208 pages Size: 5.5 x 8.25 inches ISBN 978-1-78677-161-2
