"UFO research is leading us kicking and screaming into the science of the

twenty-first century."

J. Allen Hynek

The human experiment on planet Earth is on the verge of self- destruction. Looking at the threats of nuclear war, the chemical and bio- logical ecocide, global climate change, proliferating weapons on Earth and in space, the greed of corpora­tions, and the gross cronyism and mis- management of the U.S. government, the bloated military budgets and aggression, the distractions of our cultural condition­ing, the spread of fear and ignorance, the suppression of life-saving technologies, the dis- parity of wealth and poverty among us, it is amazing we are still here. Barely

Do we have any hope? My answer is, we can only try. And if we do try, where can we find the answers? Enter Dr. Steven Greer.

Almost twenty years ago I first met Steve Greer at a lecture I gave at the Unity Church in Arden, North Carolina. Having left my career as a mainstream space sci­entist at Princeton University and Science Applications International Corporation, I was then beginning to liberate myself from the confines and expectations of West­ern science. I was also intensely studying the UFO/ET phenomenon rejected by most of my fellow scientists. Now I felt free to explore and express our transcen­dent reality.

So was Steve. A brilliant young ER physician with UFO/ET experience, Dr. Greer and I talked into the night when we first met. We began to make connections we were both just beginning to understand: that ET visitations were not only real, they could assist us in overcoming the human-caused global crisis. Since then, Steve has provided amazing leadership in penetrating the mysteries not only of the phenomenon itself, but the shadowy corners of U.S. government and corporate cover- up of it. As a result, Dr. Greer has proven himself time and time again as a fearless and energetic warrior on the leading edge of planetary change.

First he founded the Center for the Study of Extraterrestrial Intelligence (CSETI), in which he introduced the concept of ambassadorship between hu­mans and off-planet cultures—but this time not merely science fiction. Holding all- night expeditions in UFO hot spots around the world, his groups would vector in craft through the use of lights, sounds and visualization which he coined as Close Encounters of a Fifth Kind, aka. CE-5. The workshops continue to be offered to in­terested students.

Then he embarked on the difficult task of locating and receiving video/DVD tes­timonies of over one hundred U.S. government UFO/ET witnesses under The Dis­closure Project, culminating in a major press conference in Washington, D.C., in May 2001. These revelations under- score a long, sordid history of governmental and media secrecy and the acquisition of technologies such as microelectronics, anti-gravity propulsion and zero-point, or "free" energy, from our visitors. This massive cover-up has been going on for almost six decades, since the UFO crash near Roswell, New Mexico in July 1947, an event which was certainly not caused by balloons, as alleged by the U.S. Air Force. Such myths are only accepted by the ignorant or the powerful and their subjects.

Dr. Greer's pioneering work on disclosure inevitably led to further understand­ing the depth and credibility of ET contact accounts as well as the cover-up itself, for example, the "above top secret" research going on near the infamous Groom Lake, Nevada and elsewhere.

Steve Greer is a spiritual warrior of high calling, juxtaposed against those forces identifying themselves as the "United States". The latter are criminals who must be brought to justice, for so many reasons evident to ever more of us, as we watch the fall of the American empire. Dr. Greer, more than anyone, has produced the clear­est evidence of a UFO/ET cover-up and now it is up to the rest of us to embrace it. "Hidden Truth- Forbidden Knowledge" gives us the most up-to-date account of the vast accumulation of that evidence from an autobiographical perspective. It's a story about disclosure of the greatest mysteries of our time from a courageous soul unbeholden to the tyrannies that grip us in the most powerful nation on Earth.

Just as importantly, it provides us with a narrative of the benign nature of these off-planet cultures, that we are being visited by those who are empathetic about the human condition, while at the same time not directly interfering (the so-called Prime Directive made famous by Star Trek). It is sobering to think that, only since the United States pioneered the nuclear age in 1945, causing the most frightening devastation of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the modern sightings, contacts and technology transfers have been taking place. The long-range atomic bombers were stationed in Roswell, the bomb was created in Los Alamos, the first one ex­ploded in Alamagordo, and missiles to deliver future bombs were test- ed in White Sands—all in New Mexico, a nexus of the military-industrial complex. Was it just coincidence that the 1947 Roswell UFO crash also happened there? Doubtful: the horrors of nuclear technology would make any compassionate ET race want to rush to that area, as they have ever since to military and nuclear installations elsewhere.

Perhaps they are helping to prevent the horrors they too don't wish to see un­leashed by irresponsible humans.

We Earthlings need all the help we can get, so why not embrace the phenomenon for what it is, to marvel at the wonder, leaving behind our cultural biases? Only through expanding our knowledge and taking political action can we make the needed shifts, and that is what Dr. Greer is so good at doing.

In many ways, the UFO phenomenon tells us more about ourselves than about our mysterious visitors, and the mirror they hold in front of us is frightening—yet hopeful, if we listen to Dr. Greer's words. For example, his founding of Space En­ergy Access Systems (SEAS) is providing support to inventors with revolutionary new energy technologies that could give the world clean, cheap and decentralized energy, thus ending the oil, coal, and nuclear Age and the virtual end of human- caused pollution and climate change. We at the New Energy Movement are work­ing closely with SEAS Power and other organizations to advocate the importance of R&D of new energy technologies, currently suppressed by powerful vested inter­ests.

On the evening of my first meeting with Dr. Greer, the Unity min- ister Chad O'Shea presented me with a bumper sticker, "The truth shall set you free but first if will piss you off." If we allow ourselves to vent about, not to deny, our dire cir­cumstances, and then move onto solutions, we might have a chance as a civiliza­tion.

This courageous work is not for the meek. Many cutting-edge scientists have been threatened, murdered, and otherwise suppressed by cascades of disinforma­tion and personal attacks. Dr. Greer has endured all this, to our benefit.

This book could be the most important you will read. It is not only full of tran­scendent truths, it is a call to action to shift the paradigm from terrestrial tyranny to peaceful, sustainable and just cosmic community.

Introduction:

Hidden Truth-Forbidden Knowledge

In April of 2004, about 25 people gathered at our country home in Albemarle County, Virginia, not far from Thomas Jefferson's Monticello. The purpose was for me to provide an oral history, over the course of a week, of the events of my life.

This book is the result of that gathering.

To be honest, this book is released with more than a little trepidation. It reveals personal experiences and events that frankly seem incredible. Even reading through the transcript of the tapes was at times a tearful and emotionally difficult experience. And I know that much of it can be used to attack me personally

But it is time for you to know: Why did an emergency physician who had been chairman of a busy ER leave his career to get out to the world the information that we are not alone? What had I personally experienced

-from childhood onwards - that gave me the knowledge of cosmic cultures, cos­mic consciousness and a glimpse of the wondrous future that awaits humanity? What are the new energy and propulsion technologies that can give us a new world, free of pollution, poverty and conflict? What is the nexus where Mind, Space, Time and Matter all come together- and how might this be used technologi­cally by an advanced civilization? What does the blue-print of the next 500,000 years of human civilization on earth look like - and how can we transition to that time? What did I find- and experience - as I met with heads of state, CIA offi­cials, billionaires and covert operatives who in turns are desperate to maintain the secrecy and yet pray for relief from the black box they have nailed shut around them? Who has been keeping this Hidden Truth and Forbidden Knowledge secret - and most importantly, why?

This book addresses all this - and more. It is my own Disclosure. Having founded and led The Disclosure Project, I feel it is time that the millions of people who follow our work know the truth about how I got here - and what I have found.

I do not expect the general reader to accept all of this -or perhaps any of it. I ex­pect nothing in fact. It is the truth as I have found it and this is my heartfelt effort to share that truth. I hope you find some meaning in this sharing from my heart and mind.

A meeting I had with a senior General at the Pentagon a few years ago illustrates the gravity of the situation. I had been asked by this General, who at the time was head of a major intelligence operation in the Pentagon, to brief him and some of his staff on the UFO issue. As our military advisor and I waited in the Gen­eral's reception room, we noticed a female officer looking up from her papers at us, curiously. Finally she asked if I was Dr. Greer, and I said yes. She then proceeded to explain that they were very excited about the briefing and that she and her col­leagues had drawn straws to see who could be in attendance! Apparently, only one officer from her office could be present.

We were escorted into the General's conference room and some time into the briefing this General said, "Well, I have no doubt that what you are sharing is true, but I have made inquiries through channels in my Agency and nobody can tell me anything! In fact, all I have gotten is this!" He then went over to a book shelf and took a small ET doll down - and held it up for all to see. He said, "This is all I have gotten - ridicule- for inquiring about this through channels..."

I then explained that the CIA Director and other high officials had similar expe­riences when they made inquiries into the subject.

This senior General then told me a disturbing and exquisitely per- sonal story: When he was young, his father had discovered a corrupt enterprise and conspir­acy in the government that was deeply disturbing- but nobody would listen to him. It was a matter of enormous importance - but even the General admitted he just thought his father was a kook. Eventually, his father committed suicide (or was murdered and made to look like a suicide) over the matter. Then the General said, "It wasn't until I got into this position at the Pentagon that I realized the old man was right!"

Until the General was confronted with the truth as a high official in the Penta­gon, he never believed his own father. So how can I expect you to believe me? All I can do is share with you the truth as I know it and the rest is up to you.

A few comments on the book: It is not a written book, but merely an edited tran­script of over 45 hours of audio tape that were created in April of 2004 during my oral presentations at our farm. I ask that the reader forgive any errors or editing oversights. This book should be viewed as an oral history, transcribed and edited into a narrative. I had no notes or text as I made these oral presentations.

Between 1991 and 1995, I kept a diary (via transcribed audio tape) that was over 2000 pages just up to that time. Clearly this book, which encompasses experi­ences that span half a century, can only reflect the major highlights and lessons gleaned over that time. It is by no means meant to be all-inclusive or recall all the information conveyed to me by thousands of conversations and meetings with cov­ert contacts within the Shadow Government.

Many of the names of these covert operatives are changed or abbreviated. How­ever, the original tapes and transcripts, which are in multiple secure locations, con­tain all of the names, corporations and entities involved with these illegal clandes­tine operations and will be released, if needed, at a later time.

Also, this book is not a recapitulation or even summary of the extensive documen­tation which exists in my two prior books. The reader should refer to the exten­sive case-files and ET contact experiences of the Center for the Study of Extraterres­trial Intelligence (CSETI) contained in the book "Extraterrestrial Contact- The Evidence and Implications". Moreover, a nearly 600 page book of government documents and tran- scripts of over 60 top- secret witness testimonies to official government projects and events is available in "Disclosure". These books may be obtained at www.DisclosureProject.org.

It is time for one chapter in human history to close and another to open. Do we have the courage to embrace this new world, the hallmarks of which are univer­sal peace, enlightenment, and a genuinely high technology civilization on earth that is sustainable for thousands of years? The retrograde forces that are attempt­ing to hijack humanity to a time of war in space, global destruction, environmental ruin and cultural insani- ty must be supplanted, through the courageous acts of others, with an entirely new way of being.

It is time for you to know - and for all of us to act. For it is only through the collective actions of those who yearn for the good future that awaits humanity that we can leap across the abyss of impending destruction and secure a world ready to take her place among the cultures of the cosmos, enlightened and at peace.

Authors Note

This story is told in three parts. The first of these illuminates the events that set the stage for all to follow; it covers my childhood through early adult life, up to 1990. The second traces the years from 1990 to the present day. During this time, we formed the Center for the Study of Extraterrestrial Intelligence, the Disclosure Project, and Space Energy Access Systems. The third part moves into the future, gazing into a time when the fulfillment of the promise of humanity will be realized - a time that will endure for 500,000 years.

In order to first give you a frame of reference, I'll share some important statistics. In 1980, the world community eradicated smallpox off the face of the earth. The World Health Organization predicts that by the end of 2006, we will reach the last remote villages of Africa and Asia and we will wipe out Polio. These are accom­plishments that should bring much gratification to us all as citizens of this world. Yet, it is with restrained joy that I celebrate these feats. Why? Because, sadly, by the time you read the first chapter of this book (approximately 15 minutes), the fol­lowing will happen: 250 children will die of starvation; 15 people will die of AIDS; 31 will die of Malaria and 50 will die of TB.

You might ask how this possibly relates to ETs or CSETI or the Disclosure Pro­ject. It is all connected to control, power, religious ideology, and greed. We know that the technologies have existed (for many years) to alleviate Small-Pox and Polio much earlier, plus the diseases I mentioned above, as well as other ills that plague the world community. We know that technologies have been around that can supply the world with an abundance of energy without using up our valuable natural re­sources. Unfortunately, the people who have access to these technologies have not shared them with us.

I mention this not to depress you, but because it is a reality. Yet it is a reality that can be changed. As you read HIDDEN TRUTH - FOR- BIDDEN KNOWLEDGE, you will see that changes have already begun in some of the very people who are in-

volved with these technologies; changes that can and WILL make this a peaceful world.

CHAPTER 1

Q^D

Improbable

Messenger

"We'll get the little Holloman room for this event...It's all you'll need."

"Oh, no - we need the ballroom."

"But, that room is never used - except for very large and important events."

"This wz'//be a very large and important event!" "You've got to be

out of your mind."

"No, we need the entire ballroom!"

"Well, the last time they filled the ballroom was when President Reagan was there!" "Just get it! Do it."

"Okay - you won't listen to me... but I'll get it."

The room in question is The National Press Club ballroom in Washington, D.C. The verbal wrangling between myself - Dr. Steven Greer - and a press agent, proved worthwhile on May 9, 2001. She kept her word, and my instinct proved to be on target! We watched the ball- room fill to capacity: nearly two dozen televi­sion cameras and a battery of journalists assembled to hear and record statements offered by twenty one witnesses from military, intelligence, government, corporate and scientific organizations.

The witnesses had stepped forward to relate their personal experiences with ex­traterrestrial vehicles (ETVs; aka UFOs) and extraterrestri- al life forms. More than two hours of public testimony ensued, verify- ing the reality of ETV/UFO contact and a largely unknown outcome: the interaction with extraterrestrial intelligence has produced advanced energy and propulsion technologies. This information has been kept secret from the masses for years.

The event marked the launch of the Disclosure Project; an out- growth of years of effort by the Center for the Study of Extraterrestrial Intelligence (CSETI). It was also a milestone in my personal journey, having moved from a career as an emergency room doctor living in Asheville, N.C into a new role - the unlikely cou­rier of a message that is insisting to be heard. It was one more step along the sometimes rocky path I'd stumbled upon as a nine-year old playing on the streets of Charlotte, North Carolina.

A sunny afternoon in 1965 saw me out roaming with the usual group of neighbor­hood urchins. We were typical Southern kids, wandering about in search of all manner of adventure - something to build, or see, or take home. Little were we pre­pared for what suddenly appeared in the southwest sky: a silver, oval-shaped, gleaming craft - obviously not an airplane or helicopter. It was seamless, totally silent - and unlike any- thing we'd ever seen. After hovering for a short time, it instantly van- ished.

We felt this was something truly unusual. My family, predictably, passed off the incident as a childish musing. But my cohorts and I knew we'd seen something way beyond the ordinary. It was my first encounter with an "ETV" the term used by the National Security Agency for extra- terrestrial vehicles, also commonly known as UFOs.

Since that day, my sense of connection to that spacecraft has endured. Events over the next few weeks strengthened the tie: I experienced a series of lucid dreams and night encounters with beings who were not from the Earth. Because I was sim­ply a young boy I was able to take it "all in stride" - it seemed a natural result of the incident with my three friends. I believe the ETs were focused on instilling in me an awareness and acceptance of things beyond the world I could see. My in­nocence allowed me to view this without prejudice, although I didn't speak pub- li- cly about it (due to the potential ridicule) until a few years ago.

But this early connection was life-altering. It was clearly the dawning of a larger search for truth that grew stronger as I matured.

My interest and curiosity about these matters intensified, although I didn't have another direct ET encounter for years. Until around the age of twelve, I would collect relevant articles from such magazines as "True", "Argosy" and "Life" as well as books about UFO encounters, and accumulated a large stash in my closet! The idea of knowledge of people from other planets enthralled me, and fed into the sense of wonder and joy I felt when looking at the night sky. Fear never entered my mind - it seemed as comfortable as home. So my approach to the idea of extra­terrestrials was that their existence is understood, or a "given," and that these be­ings are aware of our evolution on earth. This sense of familiarity with the great expanse of creation has always induced a sense of joy and peace, even as a pre­schooler. When out in nature, I gained this sense of something awake and divine beyond everyday existence. I believe there was always something, like a hand on my shoulder, helping and guiding me toward a perception of awakeness, a myste­rious conscious presence that would open to me when I looked at the sky or played out- doors. There is a Persian expression: "the best way to love God is to love His creation." I was blessed with this reality in a very innocent, elemental way.

It was an unconventional view of life, perhaps the natural outcome of an equally unconventional childhood.I grew up in a deliciously eccentric Southern family. Mother was like Scarlett O'Hara blended with Bette Davis in "Hush, Hush, Sweet Charlotte", mixed with a touch of Joan Crawford's "Mommy Dearest"! Father was half Native American, his mother a Cherokee.

But I was raised in a family that was extremely troubled. Children from such difficult backgrounds generally follow one of two life paths: they either succumb to self-destructive habits and addictions, sometimes to the point of suicide, or find sufficient inner strength to build a meaningful and productive life. I took the latter course, through the grace of God and the intervention of the seen and unseen world.

In reality, I have perhaps never known of a more traumatic, dysfunctional family situation than ours. Most people are unaware of this back- ground; they see me as a successful physician and public figure(albeit somewhat eccentric at times!) and assume a conventional, normal upbringing.

As a young adult, I once attended the movie "Mommy Dearest" with my twin sis­ter. Afterward, we looked at each other and said, "My God, that would've been the best day of our childhood!" People are horrified to hear this. Because of parental alcoholism, and home conditions that often attend it, we children also lived with elements of abandonment, neglect and abuse. I remember, as a little pre-schooler, eating cigarette ashes, sand, and dirt when nothing else was around. As a medical doctor, I now realize this was at least providing some of the mineral supplements my body needed: one of those instinctual cravings demanded by the body to enable survival. I was frequently very sick, especially every win- ter, with terrible pneumo­nias and bronchitis. My lungs still have scar tis- sue from those bouts.

However, blessings often become apparent through hardship. The challenges made me one tough bird! Any bitterness I might have har- bored from childhood has dissipated through the realization that this made me strong - a survivor. By the time I reached high school, I vowed to take hold of my life and turn it around, and did.

Through some of those years I was actually self-supporting, with my own apart­ment. I held down a job in a local restaurant, working each night until 1:00

A.M., then rose at 6 each day to bicycle across the city to school. I managed to main­tain an A grade average, becoming an Honor Society student involved in numerous school activities.

My budding sense of responsibility extended to my three sisters. I often unin­tentionally referred to them as "my daughters", so strong was my protective, car­ing instinct for them. Having parents who were anti- role models, I learned how not to do things. The challenges brought the realization that we all create our own future, and transcending the limitations of birth, poverty, abuse, or any other hard­ship is possible through the exertion of human will.

I was far too busy during high school to become enthralled with the stuff of pop culture that absorbed many teenagers from the late '60s through early '70s. I sim­ply didn't have access to the luxuries most middle class kids took for granted, and basic survival was a constant preoccupation. Carousing with drugs and alcohol was out of the question!

Instead, I began to read the Vedas (the ancient, sacred literature of India) and study Sanskrit. On my own I learned about meditation and the concept of tran­scendence, which fit quite comfortably into my psyche. I'd been raised outside the confines of formal religion. My parents did not involve me in church as a child (in fact, they were emphatically atheist). The lack of attachment to an institutional doctrine left me open to ideas that might have been outside the comfort zone of someone growing up in a conventional religious tradition. The result is that I moved naturally into the realm of meditative experiences and higher consciousness, without tutoring from outside parties. I taught myself prayer and meditation, from reading as well as direct experience. These pursuits, coupled with my school in­volvement in environmental and peace issues, created a new layer of experience and growth in conscious- ness for me. It was at this point the experience I now call "non-locality of consciousness" made itself known. When I could find free time, I loved to bicycle out into the countryside seeking this connection.

I'd lie in a field, and practice those techniques that had emerged from inside me. I'd find myself traveling to observe other parts of Charlotte, or to see other areas of the Earth, or going out into space and seeing it clearly. This became routine. At the age of 15, a beautiful, unstoppable force was opening up inside of me, independ­ent of any sort of tradition. It manifested completely from within.

And then, in the spring of 1973, I injured my left thigh. I had made plans to bi­cycle from Charlotte to the barrier islands on the North Carolina coast, a 200 mile trip. I neglected the injury and went ahead with my plans, traveling the en­tire distance to the coast in one day, then returning to my small efficiency apart­ment, in Charlotte. A horrible infection developed in my leg, and spread through my body.

I was so sick! Because of a too demanding work and school schedule I was run down even before this happened. I was also poor, so seeing a doctor was out of the question. As a physician, now I know what happened to me: I became septic, which means my bloodstream was infect- ed, accompanied by a very high fever. There was also skeletal muscle break down, overloading my kidneys. All these are potentially fatal symp- toms, and I was spiraling to that point: a 17 year-old alone without a phone, trying to nurse myself back to health, not fully understanding the severity of my condition. It brought me to a near-death experience, find- ing myself suddenly released from my body.

I was carried out into the depths of space, where I already felt at home. Then I experienced what I now understand to be God conscious- ness, where my indi­viduality became faint as it merged with the effulgent, unbounded, pure, infinite Mind. There was no duality. It lasted for what seemed to be an eternity because a normal sense of time disappears in that state of being. I could see all of creation, the vastness of the cos- mos, and it was beautiful beyond words. There was nothing frightening about it - only infinite awareness, joy, and the perception of an endless perfect creation.

Eventually, two brilliant, scintillating lights approached out of the stars. I now un­derstand them to be Avatars: Manifestations of God. They were not anthropomor­phic or anthropocentric, but appeared as brilliant points of light - pure, conscious energy. These were the twin Avatars for our era.

As the Avatars approached me, I entered a state of oneness with them. It was in­credibly beautiful. Then there was a conveyance of knowledge in a pre-verbal form; before and beyond words. It's as if when you say "apple," within the word is the actual image of the apple, which could be astral (a light form). And within that conscious image is the pure idea form of the apple itself - its essence. That is how information was being transmitted to me.

I have no sense of how long this union with God lasted. I was affect- ed by the beauty of it all, yet very overwhelmed at the same time.

Eventually, the episode moved into more of a linear style of communication. One of the Avatars said, "You may come with Us or return to Earth." I had the pres­ence of mind to ask, "Well, what is Your will?" And the Being replied, "Well, it's Our desire that you go back to Earth to do other things." With that, I became de­pressed, having no interest at that point in coming back to Earth. I would have been very happy to remain in that state of awareness, in that place of the place- less. But I somehow knew the highest response of human will is acceptance of the Divine will, and said, "Okay, then."

And with that, I acknowledged their reality and the very exalted celestial beings that exist and the existence of the Godhead and the one- ness of creation and divin­ity. And that's what I experienced: complete, perfect oneness of unbounded Mind and creation as one. Then I sort of lost consciousness, and fell back into my body, just sort of whoosh.

I was back in my body, but must have been out long enough to lose conscious connection with all of my neural centers, although my senso- ry input was working. I remember clearly, as if it's today, seeing the maple tree outside the little apartment, moving in the wind against a street light. But I couldn't move! I thought, "Oh, great. Here I am, back in this messed-up body, paralyzed." I truly thought that I had been so dam- aged from this severe infection that I'd been paralyzed from a stroke.

(As it turned out, that was a temporary phenomenon. Today, it is understood that in prolonged near-death experiences it takes some time to be reconnected to the physical body. )

I then felt a being in the room sent there to test my will to live. It was somewhat frightening, but perhaps a necessary experience that forced me to use my willpower to remain here. There was this force that seemed to be pulling me back out. So I would go back out of my body and then return. I had to exercise volition to re­main in the physical body and keep my astral body of light and conscious body inte­grated with it. And after about half a dozen tries, I nailed it and remained here. I then became fully awake and regained my motor skills.

As they say in Britain, I was quite 'gob-smacked'! This experience altered my life like nothing before, changing everything I had been taught - that there was no Divine Being or conscious existence after the death of the body. I now know from direct experience this is false. God does exist, as do His Messengers. For me, nothing would ever be the same. I'd learned that death is not to be feared, that, in fact, there is no death - only a transformation from one state into another.

As I got up and re-integrated with the world, I remained in this state of incredi­ble bliss, a rarefied state of higher consciousness where the unbounded quality of cosmic awareness, was still awake in me. Enclosed in a room, I could be infinitely aware at the same time. The mystics call this cosmic consciousness - a state I con­tinued to experience some time thereafter.

Interestingly, my diseased leg spontaneously healed. I didn't see a doctor or re­ceive antibiotic medication during the entire episode.

CHAPTER 2

q^D

Coming Full Circle

I marked my 18^ birthday by learning a structured form of meditation called Transcendental Meditation or TM. I was hungry for any- thing that would give me an ability to experience higher conscious awareness at will. It appeared that the TM course would be the avenue to take.

I quickly realized that without its ceremonial trappings, TM is a sim- pie process. It consists of sitting with a thought mantra or sound in order to transcend conscious, linear thought and move into unbounded aware- ness.

Sitting next to my teacher, we began the technique. What followed seemed bi­zarre to him, but felt normal to me. I entered complete tran- scendental conscious­ness - full samadhi. So I was there once more - in the state of cosmic awareness. It was very beautiful, and the technique worked for me so easily because the channel was already open, due to my near-death episode the previous March.

The teacher looked at me afterward and said, "You went there, didn't you?" I said, "Yes." He said, "On the first time?" And I said, "Well, I'm not so sure it's the first time, but the first time with you!"

I began thereafter to practice the ability to experience cosmic consciousness at will. This opened up an even more extraordinary view of the world and of myself. I could now re-connect to the very pure state of Earth, nature, and divinity that ex­ist untainted by human corruption. I was rediscovering the purity and innocence of that awareness I had as a young boy, but understanding it more fully.

I left the following summer to attend Appalachian State University in Boone, N.C. I selected ASU based purely on its wilderness location in my beloved Blue Ridge Mountains, for which I have a deep affinity. I believe this feeling comes from a ge­netic connection based on my Cherokee heritage.

I wanted to spend every moment possible out in those mountains, in every kind of weather, being totally connected like a spirit walker in nature. I was eager to practice my newly acquired meditation skills and to continue having the experi­ence of connecting with Divinity Thus, at the threshold of my adulthood, I'd gone from growing up in a home with no prayer - not even knowing about it or about the experience of communion with God to experiencing cosmic consciousness. I'd found all of this on my own.

The absence of religious upbringing was actually a blessing in dis- guise. I think there's an inverse relationship between religiosity and spirituality, with only a few rare exceptions. Having been spared the religiosity, I could simply search for the truth, without the baggage of embellished doctrines.

What happened that fall was an extraordinary amplification of that near-death occurrence about six months earlier. I was on Rich's Mountain, about 5,000 feet above the town of Boone. At the top, there was a fire tower at the end of a gravel road that was closed at its base.

One crystal clear afternoon, I decided to go to see the sunset from atop this mountain. I reached the top in time to sit in meditation at sun- set.

Before starting, I glanced towards the southwest and saw an extraterrestrial vehi­cle. It was some distance away, but was just like the one I had seen as a nine year old. For some reason, my reaction at that moment was, "It's them again" - and I didn't really think much more about it - I simply accepted the fact that they were here. Then the ship winked out, just like the one I'd seen years before.

I then began meditating and had a beautiful, deep experience in unbounded Mind. Afterward, I opened my eyes and it was pitch dark, with the stars all visi­ble. Imagine being at that altitude in the crystal clear dry air, viewing the Milky Way and countless stars! Standing there, suddenly a thought not my own came to mind: "Behold what a beautiful universe God has made."

With that, I went into the exact state of consciousness I had when I died, that God consciousness where I was fully awake, at one with the entire creation, and yet present standing on the mountain. It was magnificent.

When I began the walk down, I noticed a glow off the edge of the mountain and sensed someone was there. Suddenly, on my right, an extraterrestrial biologi­cal life form appeared and touched my shoulder so firmly that it was like a strong finger touching me. I looked down and saw the imprint on my jacket: every hair on my head stood on end!

Somewhat childishly, my first thought was, "What does this creature want with me?" I got down close to the ground (I hate to admit this!)in a fetal position, look­ing up - and he was looking back. Its gender was male. He was quite peaceful and non-threatening, with beautiful, deer- like eyes.

Then I suddenly found myself transported onto the craft. We were just out in space, sitting. I recall that the craft became completely translucent. It felt like I was floating in space with nothing around, as if the whole craft was made of fiber optics, and its shell could disappear. Space was visible all around us.

So I stayed there with these ETs, who were three or four feet tall, all with those appealing eyes. It appeared that we were there for one pur- pose; meditating to­gether. They were interested in me because they wanted contact with a human being experiencing cosmic consciousness as we do, participating with them. At this point I taught them what that state is like for us. We shared it together - an incredible encounter, entire- ly different from stories usually circulated about extraterrestrial contact.

It was a very non-local experience, with time, space, and relativity in a realm un­like what's normal for us. In that state of consciousness sec- onds, hours, or years no longer matter, because time and space have been transcended. This infinite eter­nity is the true nature of the mind, the awake self within all of us.

While with these beings, we co-created a code for humans communicating with them. This was actually the birth of the CE-5 - Close Encounters of the Fifth Kind - initiative. We utilized not only sounds and light but also non-local conscious­ness and directed, coherent thought to communicate with extraterrestrial beings and their electronic devices. This was October of 1973, during the time of the Yom Kippur war.

It was clear to me that the ETs wanted humans to move beyond mutually as­sured destruction and into a peaceful civilization that could co-exist with space in harmony. Earth needed to find people to be ambassadors for this objective. And so, I offered to do this, and to help teach the same to our fellow humans. Nothing more, just that.

Then very suddenly I returned to a "regular" state of awareness and found my­self back on the gravel road near the fire tower, a little further down the path from my previous spot, but still at the top of the ridge. I thought, "Oh, my God, how wonderful." The experience of oneness with them had a key message: the con­scious mind we are awake with at this moment is the same as that of the Divine Be­ing, and of all beings.

Erwin Schrodinger was absolutely correct when he said the total number of minds in the universe is one. There is one conscious mind, and we are It. So, there are only one people in the universe, and we are they. No 'alien' or human; just an unbroken, perfect, seamless conscious life in the universe, and we are all a part of it.

I'm reminded of a saying from the Sufi tradition: "Thinkest thyself a puny form when within thee the universe is folded?" It's a rhetorical question. We're not just this puny form. The entirety of the universe is folded within us. And that's really what I experienced with the ETs.

They know that the only chance for peace on Earth -- never mind the cosmos -- is for humans to understand there's no real difference amongst us. It doesn't matter how we look- consider the variety in physical appearances that exists on Earth alone! What really matters is that within us lives the same singular light of con­sciousness, infinite, eternal and always present, whether we're open to it or not at any given moment in time. It is the basis of our relationship with each other and with the uni- verse. This is enduring and eternal -- and that is what we experienced in its absolute, purest form. It was beyond beautiful. And there was absolutely nothing frightening about it.

It didn't matter that I was only 18. They didn't care about such things as age, race, family of origin, or wealth. They cared about the fact that I was pure- hearted enough to see the truth clearly and unattached to the materiality of this world. I could discern the universal aspect of teach- ings in various cultures that hu­mans have learned through the ages, because truth is one and the same in any lan­guage. What we created together that day proved that humans can be, each of us, connected to each other and to the unbounded awareness of the universe, but also to these other civilizations, if we simply understand the fact that we're awake. If you are awake, reading this or hearing this right now, the awake-ness whereby you're hearing it is a singularity. And it isn't divid- ed. We divide it into our own egos and intellect, but in reality, the light of awareness is the same in every being, in every star. And the entire cos- mos is suffused in this same light of Be­ing. There is this great Sun of awareness reflecting and refracting in everyone, yet still singular. So, if you return to that and if you experience it, none of these life forms seem far away or unusual-or alien - because they really are not.

So, it was on this occasion the CSETI concept of one universe, one people was conceived. There is really one people in the universe, and we are they. There is a sin­gle conscious being shining in all of us. It can never be divided, no matter how much we try. We may want to divide it, but it's always one. It's always a singularity, always perfect. The extraterrestrial beings that are here understand this, because they cannot travel through interstellar space without understanding non-locality. And understanding non-locality, necessitates a high level of knowledge and en­lightenment.

In a real sense, then, the heart of compassion and the foundation of peace is found in the reality that we are all one. Without that experience, intellectualism is all that's left - and it never lasts. So, I came to realize at a rather young age that the world's problems are essentially spiritual, therefore the solutions must be spiritual as well. And so it has turned out to be.

I found myself back on the mountain under the beautiful, starry sky, only to expe­rience another strange phenomenon. I was perhaps 100 yards further down the gravel road. As I started down the mountain, I found that with each step, I was in a state of near- weightlessness, as if walking on the moon!

My steps were actually leaps of 20 to 30 feet at once! It was more like floating than walking. There was a strange, magnetic, anti-gravitational effect around me, making me lighter. It wasn't a product of my imagination; my physical body was light.

I was just happy as a lark! Here I was, fresh from this experience on an ETV, and now bounding down the mountain, traveling in "boing, boing, boing" leaps across impossible distances with each step. It was incredibly blissful. As I got closer to town, the phenomenon faded, and my weight returned to normal.

Upon reaching the little town of Boone, it looked so deserted I thought there had been a nuclear war! I thought it was about 9 or 10 o'clock at night - everything should have been open. Remember, it's a little college town up in the North Carolina mountains. I thought to myself, "What in the world is going on? I wonder if the Yom Kippur War got out of control and there was a thermonuclear war and I'm the last to know?" A check of the time told me, it was nearly 1:00 A.M! My cosmic experience had lasted three or four hours!

After this amazing evening, I decided to practice all I had learned, taught and shared with the extraterrestrials. Every night before going to sleep, I would lie down and put myself in a meditative state. I would enter unbounded Awareness, then expand the sense of conscious mind around me, filling the room, knowing that it was omni-present. On the wings of that omnipresent sense of Awareness, I would expand upwards into space, seeing the stars and space, filled with the sense that it was awake. And I was one with that awake-ness, which placed me out there, in space.

Then I would send a thought like a beacon to the extraterrestrial beings, to an­nounce my presence. In a somewhat childlike way, I'd say, "I don't know if you remember me, but my name is Steve. And here I am - let me show you where I am." So, I would do the protocol we developed for the CE-5 initiative:

In this higher state of consciousness I would turn it around, and instead of seeing outward into the vastness of space, look back - and show the ETs my location on earth.

I would show them the Milky Way Galaxy and then zoom in from there to our Solar System, with the sun and the Earth. Then I would zoom to the Earth and North America, further in to the eastern United States and the Appalachian Moun­tains. Then I would zoom in to show them my location in Boone, North Caro­lina; then to my exact spot in that building. And with that, I would fall asleep.

For months my experiences were really quite extraordinary. From October '73 onwards, there began an unprecedented wave of UFO sightings in those mountains. I did this as a way of beta-testing the system, to see if what we had co-created and agreed upon on the ship would actually work. Well, it did. There were newspaper

reports of forest rangers seeing these huge ships hovering over the mountains, down in Shining Rock Wilderness to the south, and over in the Linville Gorge area. . . here, there, and everywhere!

I continued to do this until one day, in the local paper, a story appeared about a guy driving nearby on a road outside Morganton, North Carolina. As ETVs travel, it was only seconds away from me. This boy, who looked a lot like me, was driving on that road, and the car suddenly stopped. There was a ship hover­ing by the road, with an ET at the boy's window! The driver was completely freaked out.

I saw this as an indirect way for the ETs to say, "You know, we're get- ting this." So I thought to myself, "Well I'm playing around with fire, here. I think, until I figure out what I'm supposed to do with this, this is enough."

I didn't tell anyone about this episode for a very long time. However, people need to understand why I gave up an established medical career - and the quarter-million dollars per year that came with it - to make known what I know to be true. Cer­tainly not because it's "only a theory"!

While still in this state, asleep, I continued to have some kind of ongoing dia­logue with these extraterrestrial beings. My roommate told me quite some time later, that for a number of months he would awaken late at night, and would hear me speaking quietly in my sleep.

He said, "You were speaking, but with a language not of this world." And I thought, "Oh, my God. Somehow, I was in a state of conscious- ness where I could connect to the language used by the ETs. And he was hearing that very clearly. He said, "Absolutely, it was not an Earth language."

After this, I pretty much decided that, until I had a specific reason to utilize these protocols I experienced with the ETs, it would be wiser to be just quietly aware of the ability, but keep it to myself.

In 1974, I left the traditional college at Boone to enter teacher train- ing at Mahar- ishi International University in Iowa. My experiences dur- ing the training there were really quite extraordinary, in part because I remained independent in terms of the institutional, dogmatic aspects of the group. However, there was an enor­mous amount of profound knowledge being discussed.

I immersed myself in the study of the Vedas and the Sanskrit language. I was enormously impressed with the amount of knowledge in the Vedas - how the expe­rience of consciousness and universal awareness was articulated. This experience enabled me to have a time and place to be completely dedicated to the development of higher states of consciousness.

One of the most profound things I absorbed was the unfolding of the cosmology. This came not so much from didactic learning as from direct experience, which

included the astral or causal thought realms and the realms of light.

Once one understands the structure of creation and begins to experience it in detail, it becomes very understandable how people can have dreams of the future, alter their physical body to levitate, or to de-materialize and re-appear in another place. All the things you've heard about in what are considered mythological stories or so-called miracles become more comprehensible. They are also completely attain­able by every single conscious human being. All beings will one day be capable of experiencing these things. The ability is our birthright- not just humans, but every conscious being in the universe. We are all children of God and all of these gifts and states exist within each of us.

That year, I began to have experiences that brought the infinite Being into this world. I could see a rock and know that it also contains pure awareness. Within the rock is the energy and the frequency of a light form, an astral form that gives it structure and its crystalline matrix form. And within that is the idea of it, and within the idea is the primal thought that created all things. And within that is pure, quiet conscious mind. In fact, the totality of everything is nothing but pure con­scious awareness, phasing, resonating and playing in different forms and in differ­ent ways.

Much of the knowledge that goes with this has to be realized from experience. The good news is that everyone, at some time in their life, has experienced that type of integration and oneness. They just have to remember it. My intention is to try to describe it in a way that will help you remember. If I could accomplish this from my personal background- having grown up with a total absence of exposure to the world of spirituality, then anyone can!

As all of this began to unfold, I dedicated myself for a number of years to teaching meditation and higher states of consciousness. During those years, I took an advanced course in the Catskills, in New York. On that retreat, I fasted and spent several hours a day in meditation, in a really beautiful, quiet state.

I began to awaken to an ability I'd had since childhood -- but then only begin­ning to emerge -- of being able to see things within conscious- ness that were not visible to the naked eye. Walking down a corridor, I would try to see what was around the corner. Almost every time, I would see what was there or who was com­ing. And I wasn't trying to guess until I got it right. It was like staying in a steady state of consciousness and actually seeing it.

Then I would attempt to see things happening at a distant point on Earth or at a distant point in time -- the next day or the next week. I practiced this a great deal. It became routine for me to be able to go to sleep and see a distant place or event, and know what was going to hap- pen the next day.

Now, this is no mystery, if you understand the omnipresent nature of conscious­ness. Because it is omnipresent, it is beyond the restrictions of time or space, which means that you can break those bonds through entering this state of aware­ness. And when you do, you will find yourself able to see things one isn't "supposed to be" able to see. Space and time are obliterated, and you are free to really see.

One day during this retreat I wondered about some of the so-called siddhis (or spiritual powers) described in the Vedas.

I thought it would be interesting to test the limits of this for the physical body. I began to think about the abilities we have- if we are all consciousness and our bod­ies are actually filled with the light of awareness. What might we really achieve? Well, one day I was in an enormously happy, joyful, peaceful state. I was out walk­ing on a magnificent, clear spring day. Being so affected by Earth and nature, the moment was right for what followed.

As I was walking in the field behind the manor where we were stay- ing, I sponta­neously -- without effort or forethought -- levitated. It was reminiscent of that pro­longed experience of bounding down the mountainside after my ET encounter in October of '73. This time I just lifted vertically, maybe two or three feet above the ground.

Instead of walking to my destination, I glided there in an upright, vertical levi- tation experience. And then at the moment my intellect kicked in and I ex­claimed, "My God, look what's happening. How can I be doing this?", I settled down to Earth. It was halted by my own intellect and ego!

One of the many lessons I learned from this is that there's a certain grace, along with faith, needed for such extraordinary experiences. I don't mean religious faith per se, but the certainty of, or knowing the capacity latent within. It is beyond self, ego, and intellect. If we can give our- selves freely to it, incredible things can be accomplished. And if it fails to flow, it's because we are stopping it. Ultimately, it is recognizing and embracing the power of God within each of us.

After this experience, it became increasingly clear that we have with- in us any ca­pability, and that anyone can acquire and develop them. We're coming into an era where such things will become routine and accepted as "the norm."

There is sometimes a tendency by people involved in various spiritual and relig­ious groups to put people who have this level of experience or knowledge on a ped­estal, as if it's unattainably unique. It's not, and that's very important to understand. It is, in fact, a disservice to the nature and potential of humanity to idolize some­thing that should be understood as the birthright of everyone.

In 1975, I went with some friends to Isola, France, up in the Maritime Alps, to become instructors of meditation. While on this particular retreat, I had a number of experiences with higher states of consciousness, what might be called unity consciousness and God consciousness.

One day, remembering what had happened two years earlier in the North Caro­lina mountains, I wondered if that same extraordinary experience could be re­peated. So in the hotel room, I went through the protocol we'd created in 1973 on that spacecraft.

I then went into the state of unbounded consciousness, and then expanded aware­ness off the mountain, around the Alps, into space, and out into our Solar System. Seeing the vastness of space, I said to these craft and the ETs on board, "My name is Steve. I don't know if you remember me, but we met a couple years ago, and now here I am up in the French Maritime Alps, in Isola."

And so I showed them the beautiful spiral galaxy, the Milky Way, our star system with the sun and its planets, and the Earth. And then I zoomed in to Europe, to the Maritime Alps of France. I showed them our location in the hotel complex and said, "If you can come visit, please do." This occurred in an unbroken flow of consciousness for about 20 minutes

Later, after lunch, some friends and I decided to go for a walk in the mountains near the hotel. It was about 1:00 in the afternoon. I looked up in the crystal clear, Alpine sky to see a beautiful, huge tetrahedral- shaped ship, shining in the sun. It was clear and fully materialized, and drawing down towards us, silently.

A good friend in the group who knew of my experiences with extra- terrestrial vehicles gasped, "My God, Steve, did you call them here?" And she just came unglued. "Oh, my God, I can't believe it." And I replied, "Yeah, I did. I did this protocol that I told you about." She asked, "My God, why didn't you warn me?!"

At the point this anxiety was shown by some of the group, the ETV stopped ap­proaching us, hovered, and then backed off silently. Then this huge craft just com­pletely "de-materialized," disappeared out of our space-time. I turned to her and smiled, "Well, I guess the protocol does work." And she says, "My God, next time, let me know. Warn me before you're going to do it!" But I was laughing hysteri­cally!

This taught me that, in fact, we could contact the ETs and this could be experi­enced by others. It was the first time since I was nine years old that I had actually seen one of these ET craft in the company of other people. In this case, it was a true CE-5, where a human invited the craft and they came, witnessed by others. Clearly, the protocols worked. I began to feel that maybe this should be taught to people at some point, because everyone should learn that this is possible.

But as time passed, I began to question it again. When something this extraordi­nary happens, doubts always creep in! After a while, I was living back in the moun­tains of North Carolina, outside of Blowing Rock, with a friend who had been on the training course. We had become teachers of meditation together.

One day in late fall 1977 I decided to test the protocol again. That night I sat up in bed and meditated. I went into the expanded state of consciousness, felt it expanding into space, saw the fullness and infinity of space being filled with the light of awareness, and in that light I saw these extraterrestrial people and said, again, "My name is Steve."

But, thinking so much time had passed that maybe they didn't remember, I said, "Well, my name is Steve Greer and I was born in Charlotte, North Caro­lina on June 28, 1955." I then gave them an entire brief biography! I showed them Charlotte, and how to get to my location. From space, they could go to Char­lotte, then up to the North Carolina mountains, about 100 miles away. After fol­lowing this tech- nique in a stream of consciousness, I fell asleep.

Suddenly, I awakened in the wee hours of the morning between 1 and 4 a.m. And here was this beautiful blue-white craft outside the win- dow and about 30 feet above the house. And the consciousness of the occupant was being projected right into the room I was in! It was very palpable.

We were out in the middle of nowhere, totally surrounded by mountains and meadows and silence. And here was this ship silently hovering right outside my win­dow! Suddenly my housemate woke up in his bed- room; jumped up, rushed into my room and exclaimed, "Do you see that?" I said, "Yes," kind of sheepishly, like, "Uh-oh." And he says, "My God, there's a space ship right outside our win­dow." I said, "Yeah, I know. I kind of invited them."

He became really unhinged and said, "Damn it, don't ever do that without tell­ing me! You scared the hell out of me!" He could feel, also, that there was an intel­ligent being, de-materialized, but like a projection of awareness, from the ship in­side the room.

We went into the living room, and the ship followed us around to that side of the house, to the big picture window overlooking Grandfather Moun­tain. By then, I think they sensed my friend's fear, and with that, the ship backed off, went out over the valley, and swoosh, streaked away - off into space over Grand­father mountain.

The very next day, we heard on radio and in news reports that two space ships were found on the radar at Douglas Airport in Charlotte, North Carolina. They were pursued by a police helicopter called Snoopy. I was stunned to hear that the area of the city where the sightings were centered was where I was born and grew up - the spot I'd shown them in my vectoring through consciousness.

One of the craft apparently got very close to the police helicopter, and also to an Eastern Airlines jet. This was all recorded by the air traffic con- trol tower, and it con­firmed the CE-5.

Years later, a man who had acquired the FAA audio tape of that event shared the tape with me. (We have it in the CSETI archives.) In the tran- script, one of the

craft just vanished, and the other one was seen and tracked going off towards the northwest: the mountains where I was located. And, in fact, it then appeared outside my window.

So, that was an interesting early CE-5 that not only had another wit- ness - my hapless housemate - but also was tracked on radar, observed by commercial airline pilots, and chased by a police helicopter.

Frankly, I was stunned and a bit unnerved by the precision of the event. I thought, "Wow. This is serious! I really shouldn't do this any- more until I formal­ize a program for it." And, in fact, I didn't do it again- from 1977 to 1990- when I formed the Center for the Study of Extraterrestrial Intelligence, or CSETI.

CHAPTER 3

Out Of The Shadows

Those youthful experiences made me understand something impor- tant about the nature of advanced ET civilizations: they have selected non-hostility as a natu­ral evolutionary step. In other words, their high level of consciousness is incom­patible with divisiveness or conflict. Otherwise, with the incredible technology at their command, they would have long since destroyed one another.

Without the realization of oneness, differences are perceived as a cause for alarm, fear, hostility and violence. The history of human experience over the millen­nia is proof...

One has only to look at the state of humanity today. Globally, hostility and mis­trust abound among divergent religions, ethnic groups, and nations, bringing war and untold suffering in its wake. The conscious- ness of difference and division must be rejected, or there can be no peace.

Humanity now stands at a crossroad; we will either continue to destroy the Earth and its inhabitants through ignorance, warfare and conflict, or we'll reach a state of spiritual enlightenment and social maturity from which we acknowledge our inherent oneness. If not, then power- ful technologies will remain in the hands of people who are submerged in ignorance, superstition, and conflict.

But, those conditions cannot exist alongside the state of oneness that is the true wellspring of compassion. As the Buddha said, you can not do violence to another when you realize oneness

There are those who might go through what I've described in my ET encounters, and react in stark terror, even with the same stimuli: a ship by the window; a sight­ing on the mountain. But my near-death experience allowed me to approach these things without fear. There is no death; why be afraid?

It is critical to understand that an enormous and sophisticated disinformation campaign exists around the whole extraterrestrial question- at least 90 percent of the information and images portrayed to the public are selected to evoke fear - followed by hatred of all things alien. Movies, TV shows, and books about the subject prove this point: if one is to believe that rubbish, you would think that every other person in America is being snatched from their homes at midnight and tortured! It simply isn't true. But fear and horror sells, and the usual suspects benefit from a ter­rified, misinformed populace.

We know that clandestine paramilitary operations exist, controlled by a shadowy group staging simulated UFO/ETV events. This is not speculation: we have inter­viewed many independent corroborating military people who have participated on the teams that have deliberately "abducted" people to create the illusion of real ex­traterrestrial encounters.

In the 'UFO industry' there is the multi-million-dollar abduction subculture, funded by powerful, wealthy interests (including certain European royal families along with industrial scions in the United States). Stories publicized are very de­liberately selected. If someone comes to one of the abduction support groups and researchers with the account I've shared, they will be shown the door. They only want to select the terrifying stories - those from people who have had simulated en­counters, foisted on them by a military effort that is trying to create psychological propaganda. This will support future Star Wars expenditures down the road by sowing the seeds of division between humans and extraterrestrial people.

It is part of a well thought-out plan to divide one group against another. And in order to do this, a threat must be demonstrated, and the supposed "enemy" de- monized. So most of the UFO/ET information put out is designed by counter­intelligence, PSYOPS and disinformation people for a specific, intended effect.

The first is simply to discredit the subject, because most of their sto- ries don't hold up under scrutiny. The second, in my opinion, is to cre- ate a foundation of fear upon which to build the edifice of Star Wars. And no less a figure than Wer­ner von Braun told a member of our team, Carol Rosin, that, in fact, this was ex­actly what was going on: that weapons will be based in space - hence, the need to create a psychological nexus where people will fear all things alien. Then, down the road (when the folks enjoying the multi-trillion-dollar bonanza of current industrial and military operations decide the deception has gone on long enough), they can declare the world needs to unite around 'kicking alien butt' (as quoted from the movie, "Independence Day").

Keep in mind that the Cold War and all the things going on today will pale in com­parison to the financial benefit to be gained by stampeding the masses into a false idea of a threat from outer space that must be resisted. Instead of extracting unlim­ited dollars for the military operations from the United States and the West, the imagined 'threat' will produce enough xenophobia to insure a "blank check", or steady flow of govern- ment dollars, in the name of preserving safety and world peace. Sound familiar?

This assessment comes from having interviewed numerous military people in­side the organizations dealing with this. I've been told point blank that this has been an ongoing agenda since at least the 1950's. These operations have used something called "alien reproduction vehicles," manufactured by a consortium of companies that include Lockheed Martin, Northrup, SAIC, E Systems, EG&G and Mitre Corporation (among others). These are man-made anti-gravity devices that we've been using since at least the '50s, along with other powerful electronic weapons systems and "programmed life forms" or PLFs. These are biological, artificial life forms being produced to look a lot like these so-called "greys" -- that are not from outer space. They're manufactured in a few facilities, one of them lo­cated in the four corners area near Dulce, New Mexico.

This is a concerted effort to create a false "alien threat." If someone comes for­ward with a dissimilar story, they're blacklisted from lectures and subsequently un­able to get their story out to the public or the media in book form or through any other significant channel. But those who create terrifying messages - akin to the movie "Independence Day", or certain abduction books, - receive high dollar ad­vances along with big publishing deals and film contracts. This is assuredly by de­sign.

The power elite want those alarming stories seeded into the mass consciousness, and for the truth to be buried. I have met with people who are funding abduc­tion cults in the United States and Europe. Aside from having interviewed military people who've perpetrated these pseudo-abductions, I've personally been told by no less a figure than the reigning member of a European royal family that he helps fund these efforts. He reasons that the frightening stories need to be out there, to make the world aware that these "evil aliens" exist and must be fought.

He went so far as to say that, in fact, every major Earthly problem since Adam and Eve is attributable to the machinations of these demon- ic extraterrestrials. He genuinely believes this! And he is also the chief funder of Opus Dei, which is the sensitive right-wing group at the Vatican with an internal secret cell oper­ating these programs. Additionally, I was told that his reason for terminating sup­port for a prominent author in this field (who will remain unnamed here), is that his stories weren't sufficiently alarming. He was portraying interaction between humans and ETs too positively - the sponsor only wanted the most terrifying tales put out to the public!

A prominent leader of one of these abduction groups told me point blank that if someone attends their meetings whose experiences don't fit the mode of military ab­ductions (which are harrowing), they'll kick them out. So, it's a self-selecting, fraudulent process.

This well-oiled machine marches out false, contrived "alien encounters". These are then funneled to specific researchers, who then get channeled into specific movie, documentary, and/or book deals. And it's all lucrative. It is being done spe­cifically to generate propaganda designed to marshal the masses against this sup­posed threat from outer space, there- by perpetuating and augmenting the hoax al­ready thriving.

Within the Shadow Government is a hard-core group of eschatologists: people obsessed with the end of the world who would like to see it go out in one big eco- alien cataclysm, to hasten the return of Christ! This is their agenda: They maintain that the world has to be in the most dire of conditions for the Second Coming to occur, and they hope to make circumstances ripe for that goal. It is just plain mad­ness. With this degree of hyper-religiosity, fanaticism, and cultish secrecy combined with enormous power, the results are predictably outrageous.

A few years ago I attended a meeting in New York with Mrs. Boutros- Ghali, the wife of the Secretary General, and some of the "New York 100" crowd. A woman approached me to say, "Well, I'll have you know I've read 26 books about UFOs and abductions,". I said, "Well, with all due respect, that means that you've incorporated into your awareness 26 times more disinformation and rub­bish than someone who's only read one book." I'm not quite sure I endeared my­self to her, but it is the truth.

I have shared my insight with some very senior military personnel as well as peo­ple like Mrs. Boutros-Ghali and others. Their first response isn't that it can't be true, but they're just horrified that it may be.

Often people ask whether the road that the human race is on is atypical or typical of what other planets have gone through. I think there's a whole range of capabili­ties and experiences that happen with different people. I understand that there are some extraterrestrial civilizations that have never had conflict and warfare. And there are others that have, per- haps, passed this way, learned the lessons, and evolved to a peaceful world.

The more a civilization moves away from spirituality, the more vio- lent it be­comes. Here, I mean genuine spirituality rather than religiosity. What now passes for "religion," for the most part, is a man-made contrivance - a corruption of it's original intent.

If a civilization separates from its intrinsic spirituality while at the same time developing enormous means of intellect and technology, conflict is inevitable. Earth, is now trying to sort out that dynamic. And we haven't done a terribly good job of it so far.

It is fair to say that ETs would be aware of the risks and the pitfalls of this tumultu­ous transition we're in today - which I liken to humanity as an organism going from childhood to maturity - and we're in this pro- longed adolescent phase. We are chaotic and rebellious and trying to find our footing, but we are not yet mature. And unfortunately, some of us are like adolescent boys who've gotten hold of some hand grenades and are pulling the pins out.

That being the case, if you look at humanity and the state of the world today dispassionately, and look through the eyes of an extraterrestrial civilization, you know that there is cause for concern. For this rea- son, actions taken by ETs that have contained some of our efforts and clipped our wings as we've tried to weaponize space, are understandable (We know this has happened from testimony by numerous corroborative Disclosure Project witnesses).

Those actions could be considered an act of hostility... However I view it in­stead as an enlightened act of compassion. They know that we could be a threat not only to ourselves but also to other worlds. Alas, our technology has marched ahead of our spiritual and social evolution, mak- ing us, frankly, a dangerous people.

The time we live in is very pregnant, but growing short. We haven't really changed directions enough to avoid some very serious conse- quences that are a natural outgrowth of our retrograde behavior. If you combine extraordinary tech­nologies with a predisposition to vilify any- thing we don't understand or control, a very dangerous situation results.

So, these extraterrestrial civilizations are monitoring Earth very closely. I have no doubt that this is why many of our military witnesses have recounted these ex­traterrestrial vehicles monitoring intercontinental ballistic missile silos, weapons stor­age facilities, weapon plants, space launches and ICBM launches. They want to be very clear that these weapons must not be used and that they're watching our behav­ior. If we were to get completely out of control, there would be an intervention to stop a worst-case scenario from unfolding.

We're reaching the point where the Earth will have to end the bur- den we've placed on her, if we don't lift the burden ourselves. We have another couple of gen­erations to get it right; I would be surprised if we could go 50 more years on the path we're on right now.

I was approached by a number of the people who run the super- secret pro­jects related to UFOs and advanced energy systems in 1991. They had read one of my early papers about the concept of oneness and our civilization and the experi­ence of cosmic awareness and cosmic people. They emphasized the importance of sharing this information with their group. These were people who called me from the CIA, Lockheed, McDonnell Douglas, and similar operations. Everything I've written was primarily intended for this group.

The masses of people simply want to live their lives peacefully. They don't care about ripping each others throats out. There is only a very small minority of hu­mans who are psychotically violent and controlling. The fires of hatred and con­flict, that keep getting ignited, have been lit deliberately because it's benefiting this violent group.

People within the general population have a strong need to know about this information. They have a need to know, a right to know and a responsibility to act, because they can restrain the worst abuses of a covert group like this if they exert their will. But the entrenchment and the ferocity of some elements within this dangerous group are such that a spiritual perspective needs to be elucidated.

This is why, when I sit down and write something, until now, it has been written with the primary audience being those people who most need to hear it. Most people on Earth would love to simply live together peacefully, enjoy their diversity in cultures, have these technologies, and evolve and go on and raise their children and send them to college and have a nice life.

It's not like there's 99 percent of the world's population who's in favor of go­ing hell bent over Niagara Falls without a barrel. There are a relatively small num­ber of people who have a perspective that is retro- grade. They are looking in their rear view mirror and mistaking it for the future. So our task has been to turn their heads and look forward.

It is important that we view these very powerful industrial, military and relig­ious interests as educable.

We have frittered away the last 50 years while the Earth was speaking to us, the people of the Earth were cautioning us, the mountains were weeping, the polar ice caps were melting and the ETs have been warning us. And we've been heedless for 50 years. We need to listen and we need to act - now.

The people running these covert projects are conscious beings who are educable and can learn and can grow and can get this information and change their paradigm before it's too late. In our own meditation and prayers we should ask for trans­formation and enlightenment for these people, rather than creating enmity and ten­sion.

CHAPTER 4

Q^D

Marriage Made in

Heaven

I went to live in Israel in January of 1978, initially just to visit for about ten days. I ended up staying for three years, working at the world headquarters of the Baha'i religion on Mount Carmel in Haifa. It was a wonderful and interesting expe­rience being at some very sacred places. In all my travels throughout that area, I could feel the presence of the spiritual teachers that have come to this small area. And at the same time, I sensed that every rock is soaked in the blood of conflict.

It is a very strange juxtaposition of extremes ~ the manifestation of these very exalted prophets such as Christ or Moses or Abraham or Mohammed or Baha'u'l- lah or the Bab. At the same time there's this incredibly primitive enmity and fanaticism. But then, the prophets always come at the darkest time and to the darkest place.

For many years I've been able to go to sleep at night and see some- thing that will happen the next day or the next month or at some point in the future. This started happening more and more intensely the more I experienced these higher states of consciousness. In the winter of 1978, I was living in an apartment on Mount Carmel, overlooking the Mediterranean. One night, I had a dream: I was suddenly in a space that was defined but didn't have walls, and it was very light. Near where I was living were the remains of a nobleman who had been head of the Baha'i Faith named Abdu'l-Baha. He was known as a very gentle, wise, sweet, loving figure who was greatly enlightened - in the perfect state of man. He ap­peared to me in this dream and introduced me to a woman and said, "This is who we wish for you to marry" He then told me many details about her and said, "She'll come from far away and visit here and then leave, but you'll be married here in Is­rael. She'll be older than you, but that won't be a problem." And then this woman and I were introduced, and I could see exactly who it was and how she was dressed.

This happened every night for four or five nights in a row. Now, here I am, 22 years old, and no more interested in being married than the man in the moon! But one thing about spiritual guidance: it doesn't do you any good if you don't take it.

So, I said, "Well, I guess I should be looking to find this person."

A month or two later, I was in the gardens where Abdu'l-Baha is buried, on Mount Carmel at his shrine. In through the gate walked Emily. I was delighted to see that she was the person from my dream. But you don't go up to a com­plete stranger and say, "Hello, I've had a dream with you and we're supposed to be married!" We met and talked for maybe an hour and a half; it was like we'd always known each other. But I still didn't mention my dream.

She was there for a convention, and the very last day she was there, I saw her again, briefly. They were about ready to close the gates to these beautiful gardens and to the shrines, and Emily was going to go there and say some prayers. I said, "You'd better hurry, because they're closing soon." So, she went and that was the last time I saw her on that trip.

Later, I went to the shrine and prayed and said to God, "If this is real- ly who You wish for me to marry, she's going to have to approach me, with me never telling her the dream or trying to contact her again."

Well, Emily was going to meet her mother in London for a vacation. When she got there, she had a strange compulsion to try to write me, but she didn't even know my last name! She only knew my name is Steve. Someone that she was traveling with happened to know my last name, and so she was able to get the letter to me, through the headquarters of the Baha'i religion there in Israel.

Emily wrote me a letter saying how much she enjoyed meeting me, etc. That was what I'd been waiting for. I wrote a first letter to her that was just normal and friendly. In the second letter, I recounted the whole story of how we had been intro­duced and what Abdu'l-Baha said in the dream. She wrote me back and said, "Well, if this is the divine will, this is what we'll do."

We corresponded for a whole year. In June of 1979, Emily packed up all her things. We met in the Seattle airport and went to Alaska for a ten- day courtship and then decided, yes, we would be married. And in August of 1979, we were married on Mt. Carmel in Israel! This year (2006) is our 27th anniversary. So some marriages really are made in heaven!"

I tell people this story because many people are given guidance that they don't take, because it doesn't appear to make sense. But if it is right, it doesn't have to make intellectual sense all the time. We've had splendid times, a wonderful mar­riage and four beautiful children. We've done all these things that you're going to read about, and I love her now more than ever!

Emily picked out a beautiful silk sari with gold thread to wear at our wedding. She didn't know that was exactly what I saw when I was introduced to her in the lu­cid dream state by Abdu'l-Baha. When I saw it, I said, "This is exactly it."

Our first daughter was born on Mount Carmel in Israel, and we brought

her home on our one-year anniversary, so we named her Carmel.

After our first child was born, we came back to the United States, and I went into medical school. I went into emergency medicine because I found it not only very challenging, but it's where I could apply the science and the technology of modern medicine in its highest form. During that time, I was involved in running programs dealing with meditation and holistic health. We formed the Shambhala Institute and offered pro- grams on holistic health and healing.

For many years, I raised our four children with Emily, was chairman of emer­gency medicine and worked in an emergency department, and was founder of CSETI and the Disclosure Project. Life was quite a three-ring circus!

CHAPTER 5

Q^D

Forgiveness and Faith

One of the great lessons I learned as a teenager was forgiveness. I think it's so important that if people contemplate the sort of situation the world is in on a macro- scale, that it really comes down to a very person- al matter: The microcosm of our own lives is recapitulated through society, and we're all operating as a universal resonator. I found the divine and sacred exists and it is real and it is made mani­fest through loving- ness and forgiveness.

So the very first thing that I did was to forgive my parents for actions during our childhood. You don't forget it, but you can forgive. And this frees up an enonnous amount of imier peace and energy because you have let go of the negative. The act of forgiveness and the act of love is really one of the highest expressions of spiri­tual realization.

And so what I found is forgiveness and love require a genuine selflessness - one where you go beyond yourself. As I looked around the world as a teenager, I saw that most of the problems in the world were because of selfishness. There's a won­derful saying attributed to Abdu'l- Baha that says, "Where there is love, nothing is too much trouble and there is always time." I really believe that. This is part of what we're on planet Earth to learn.

I had to create my own spirituality from nothing. This is the blank slate phe­nomenon: With my near-death experience, I didn't go to the pearly gates where there was this angry old man with a beard, throwing down bolts of lightning at peo­ple and judging you and throwing you by your lying sinful forelock into hell.

As I mentioned, one of the first challenges I had was to forgive the people clos­est to me. People have to learn to forgive. This is why, even though I'll speak with great force about the need to change the path we're on, it's not that I'm wanting to do this by taking a pound of flesh in a vengeful way from those who have gotten us into this mess. It's that they should be educated and, if necessary restrained.

But even those actions are done out of love and out of a sense of what needs to happen. And it must be done with forgiveness. I continue to practice that now.

Being here on this planet, to me, is not about trying to pretend like you're per­fect. There's a saying that's attributed to a German writer: "those who would pretend to be angels are destined to behave as beasts."

The scariest cultists ever are the ones who set themselves on a dais. It's better to be who you are and be real and be human even while you begin to bring into this world those attributes that are spiritual and divine. But you don't have to be perfect to do that.

There is no one perfect on Planet Earth, unless that being is an Avatar- that is one of the high prophets or a Manifestation of the Godhead. And there are none of them living on the Earth today and haven't been for over 100 years, and there won't be for another 1,000 years.

The major prophets or the Manifestations of God are very rare. And they're actu­ally a different species. They have a station that is beyond that of the capacity of even a fully enlightened human. In other words, you could evolve to the highest level of capacity as a human and never reach that station. It is another lineage, an­other level. And that's how important those figures are and how powerful, but also how unique. And that's why I say it's one of the worst things ever for some­one to claim to be that when they're not. The most we can do is to reflect the light from that Godhead.

We are all relatively imperfect, and we're here to manifest degrees of perfection. And beyond that, nothing else should be claimed. And those who claim beyond that are frauds. Period. I don't care who they are. Only by being who we are and knowing where we are, can we evolve.

The South is so crazy - love every minute of it and it suits me just fine! When I was growing up back in the late '50s and '60s, it was really the Old South, still. There were wonderful black women that I knew, and they would come up to me and say, "Oh, you're an old soul." They'd look at me and they'd say things about my future. These were very unpretentious, salt of the Earth, wonderful beings.

You meet people like that all over the world, and you won't meet many of them in temples or in cathedrals or in ashrams, but you will meet them in other places. As a child, I had things affirmed to me from some of these wise and saga­cious people. This happened from the time I was four or five years of age on. I was not drawn towards the trappings and formality of spirituality that gets subsumed into the world of priests and the hierarchy or gurus or ashrams, but was more at­tracted to that genuine spirituality you find in honest, direct, clear, simple spiritual­ity. Because that's where I stayed, it enabled me to open up my heart and do things such as acts of forgiveness and acts of love that really were outside of what my up­bringing should have allowed.

The message here is: you can transcend your own limitations, if you let yourself

go there. You must exercise your free will to create your own reality. As I look back on it, that was the big lesson of the first 20 years of my life. The specific experi­ences that I had were in a sense wonder- ful, and I was blessed to have them even though they happened in the crucible of much difficulty and suffering. It's easy to talk about it, but going through it was not easy. Life on earth is not necessarily easy. There are perfections and imperfections here, and our task is to manifest as many of these good qualities and attributes and perfections as we can.

I had to re-create my life- physically. I had been so sick growing up. I had to re­form my body, re-form my mind, re-form my spirit, re-form my heart. It was like a Shamanic process. And the way that happened was not only through the exer­cise of will but also through an ability to transcend my own limitations.

You can call this faith- not the faith that most religious people think such as cer­tain beliefs and dogmas. To me true faith is a knowingness and a certainty of things not yet seen and not yet fully known. And yet in your heart and spirit a certainty exists that it can be. I found the ability to actualize and manifest through faith and through vision and saw things happen that were miraculous.

I remember, for example, being in college after I had learned medi- tation tech­niques, and I started experimenting with the power of prayer. I lived in a dorm and there were these guys who were getting drunk all the time and really on a danger­ous path. Every year there were a few of these college kids who ended up drinking and getting killed, driving between Boone and Blowing Rock on a treacherous two- lane road.

One afternoon I was sitting in the dorm room meditating. I heard these guys come in, completely drunk and rowdy. So I went into a state of divine awareness, and without any irritation or negativity on my part at all -- I wasn't judging -- I just went in that state and I saw them. In my mind, I could see them coming down the hall. And I put this divine light around them, and I asked for their for­giveness. Then I asked that they wake up to what they were doing and that they stop harming them- selves in this way. About five minutes later, there was a knock on the door. And there they were, looking completely sober, asking for for­give- ness- through me to something greater. It was a transformative event for them, and I never saw them drunk again!

That same year, I found that the same thing happens with animals that there was this ability to connect with what people in the East would call the devas and the nature energies. I would sit out under the trees in a huge ancient forest behind my dorm and meditate.

One day, while sitting against a huge old Hemlock tree and meditating, I felt I was being watched. I slowly opened my eyes and to my delight, there was a semi-circle of animals around me. There were a couple of birds, a squirrel, a chip­munk and a raccoon, just in a semi-circle. I know this sounds like something out of Siddhartha, but it really happened. These animals were peacefully staring at me and appeared to be in a state of great calm and bliss.

We have within us a wonderful divine spirit -but we have to know it, practice it, and affirm it in our lives so that these things are possible. This is what, to me, faith is: You act as if it is so, and it is so. And when you act as if it is so, it will be. Ulti­mately, it is an exercise of surrender, of giv- ing up self to the great Spirit.

CHAPTER 6

q^D

Ineffable Oneness

In the Sufi tradition there is the story of the master who is trying to teach a stu­dent how to levitate across the water. The student is at the edge of the body of wa­ter, intellectualizing and thinking, "Well, I'm heavier than water; I'm going to sink and I'm going to drown." The master turns to the student and says, "Leave thyself behind, and then walk upon the water."

This is the grace - I call it operative grace- that you have to find to achieve these things spiritually. You have to practice it and let it unfold.

You have to know in your heart that it is possible — not just believe in something in the ordinary sense of belief. You have to say, "It will be," and you then do it. But it is being done not because of your ego; it's being done from the greater Mind that stands within you.

Realizing this is a paradox: On the one hand, our individualities are the vehi­cles through which the unboundedness can manifest and express. Once you understand that, you understand the concept of being a clear vehicle for spirit. So, 011 the one hand, there has to be individuality to be able to have it happen. On the other hand, you have to be freed up enough from self to let the larger divine Being shine through and let these things happen. And then it will happen.

I survived my own adolescence by finding this pretty much on my own, with some help from the unseen realms. But if I hadn't found it, I am quite sure I would have been dead by age 20. Most people who would have come out of the kind of situation I was in as an adolescent boy would have ended up a drug ad­dict or a criminal. I attribute this transformation to the guidance, protection and inspiration from the Great Spirit, the Divine Being ~ and somehow I was willing to be open to that. When I opened to It, It all rushed in. It was all there for me. And It is always there for each of us.

I tell people, "As soon as you're ready to open to That, it's there." And it's there for any purpose. I don't care if you're in the emergency department, trying to save a life, or you're an airline pilot, or a carpenter. The unbounded Divine Mind is always folded within us. It's a matter of knowing this, being open to it and letting it operate. So, you have to get out of your own way and let It happen.

When I was living in Israel, my father, who was a chain smoker and an alcoholic, became deathly ill. I now realize that he also had very serious Post Traumatic Stress Disorder from World War II, from doing hand- to-hand combat with the Japanese in the Pacific islands. One day, I heard from family that he had an inoperable golf ball sized tumor in his right lung. Back then -- this would have been around 1978; it was not thought that the available chemotherapy would work, but they would try it any- way. And so I was called back to the States to make burial arrangements: the doctors said he had about six weeks to live. When I saw Dad I asked him, "Do you want to die from this?" He said, "No, I'm not ready." So, I taught him meditation and I taught him prayer. Now, you have to understand what a hard-boiled atheist, and bitter man he was, and of that generation, born in 1916. But still he said, " I'll do this." So, I gave him some books to read and then I personally taught him medi­tation, visualization and how to heal with mind from within.

You have to first center and go into a deep, quiet state of conscious- ness that goes beyond self, where the real power is, which is divinity It's that which tran­scends ego. And then from that state, do the visualization. So, you bring in what I call the God factor or the divine spirit factor.

So I taught my father to do this. I said, "Just do it. This is a matter of saving your life. Whether you believe it or not, act as if you do." So, he did.

I then went back to Israel, and I would go to the beautiful Baha'i shrine on Mount Carmel. Every day at lunch, I'd go there and I would do the same visualiza­tion as I taught my Dad. Then I would pray for his healing.

Well, a few weeks later, he went back to his doctor. (We did pick out the cemetery plot, but I knew he'd be okay.) The doctor took some x- rays and found, sud­denly, that the huge tumor was gone. And the doc- tor went, "My God!"- it was one of these "miraculous," spontaneous healing's. But we knew exactly what hap­pened.

My father ended up living several more years and dying of congestive heart failure and emphysema from smoking, because his lungs were just blown. But before he died, a memory came back to me of sitting with him in the back yard of our house in Charlotte when I was young, maybe

12 years old. He said, "You know, I really don't want to live much longer, just long enough that you kids are all grown and out of the house." (He was pretty inebriated when he told me this.)

Now, when he had his lung cancer, my little sister was still living at home. And the year after she left, he died. I told my sister, "You know, we do create our own reality." He scripted that. The cancer that should have killed him didn't, but he totally gave up on his life and died as soon as all the children were grown and gone. He did exactly what he said he was going to do, even though I am sure he did not consciously remem- ber saying it.

So, we're much more powerful than we think we are, no matter who we are. And we do create the life that we have.

During this same period of time, I learned that I could be in a state where I could visit people at remote distances. Now, a lot of people say, "Oh, that means you were astrally traveling." I did astral travel as a teenager, but this was differ­ent!

What I learned to do was to realize that you don't have to separate the astral body from the physical body, but simply realize that the entirety of creation is folded within each individual. We are truly a quantum holo- gram of the whole creation. When it is said, "Thinkest thyself a puny form when within thee the universe is folded?" a rhetorical question is being asked which illuminates a profound truth: All is folded within the awake mind within.

A relatively primitive way of visiting others through spirit is to actually have an astral projection, where the physical body and the astral body separate and you fly off. But a more developed, simpler and safer way of doing it is to realize that all this is folded within you.

By going into a state of consciousness that is non-local, that is the transcendent state of awake-ness, every point in space and time can be accessed. And when you experience that, then, using your will subtly, you can open up and see a loved one in another place. And this is what I would do with my loved ones.

Just before I went to Israel, I had this shown to me. I had a great aunt who was very sick who had lung cancer, and was dying. She was one of the few members of our family who really did care for us, so I always felt very close to her. And I re­member her as being always very sweet and very kind, Aunt Irene.

The day that she passed away, I awakened in my bedroom and she was there. And I saw her as, probably, a 40-year-old woman, instead of a 70-some-year-old woman who'd been very sick with cancer. She was radiant and beautiful. I don't remember anything being said; it was just a beautiful, loving pres­ence and at once a goodbye and a lasting connection. The next day, my twin sis­ter called me and I told her the experience. She said, "Well, I'm calling you be­cause she passed away." I asked, "What time?" And this experience was exactly at the time of her passing.

So, we're always connected through the Oneness of the great Spirit with each other. It's a beautiful thing to realize, because once we do, we realize that time and space are not barriers at all.

I remember one time camping with a friend in the petrified forest in Arizona.

My wife Emily was back at our home in North Carolina.

Suddenly, I sensed that she wanted to be able to know that she could communi­cate with me, but I was in the wilderness. So as I laid down to go to sleep under a full moon ,I meditated and went into a state of unity consciousness.

I expanded into that peaceful state of awareness and saw Emily in our bedroom. Now, Emily is someone who rarely remembers her dreams. I knew she was sleep­ing, so I went into the bedroom and connected with her soul. I showed her exactly where I was and what I was doing. I sent the message that anytime she really needs me, I'd be there - that we're always together - that we are one in Spirit.

A few days later, when I came out of the wilderness, I called her. She said, "You wouldn't believe this lucid dream I had! You were in this place... " and she pro­ceeded to described exactly where we were camp- ing! "And you told me this:.." and repeated the message I had given her. It was a beautiful realization and it was re­assuring for her and for me. It showed us what we can do and that we're never alone; we're never apart; there is never separation.

When we chose to unlock the box of separation, we have the key. The key is this awake mind within us and the will to use it. You must have a living faith. Yogananda (a famous Vedic teacher) once said that spiritual lassitude and the lack of spiritual adventuresome-ness is why people never grow.

Once you have these experiences begin to unfold and you say it is possible, your certainty that it can happen increases; then you do it more often and it be­comes more and more and more powerful. A positive feedback loop is created.

It's like a snowball going downhill. It picks up its own momentum- but you've got to leap over the edge!

One year for our anniversary, Emily and I went to Costa Rica and stayed some­place on the Pacific Coast. One night, after we'd fallen asleep, an amazing thing happened to us.

Emily woke up in the middle of the night and as she looked over towards me she saw a silvery grey form lift up out of my body and fly out the hotel window and leave. And she thought, "Oh, my God. Here I am, stuck in Costa Rica, and we have four kids back home, and Steve just died!"

I was having what I had always called one of my flying lucid dreams, which I've had all my life. I was flying over the jungle and the edge of the ocean. Even though it was the middle of the night; I was seeing with celestial vision, so I could see the gorgeous quality of the water and the jungle, as if it was day time; but every­thing had its own light from with- in it, as opposed to light coming from the sun. I saw the most beautiful, alive colors and light. It was one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. I was flying along in a state of complete freedom and happi­ness.

All of a sudden, that ended, and I found myself back in the room, thinking I was just waking up from a dream. And I felt Emily looking at me. I looked over, and her eyes were like saucers! She exclaimed, "Thank God, you're back!" And I said, "Back? Where have I been?"

She said, "Well, you left." I said, "I've done no such thing. I've been here the whole time." And she said, "No, I saw you leave your body!" And then she de­scribed to me what she had seen. That's when I realized that many of these lucid brilliant dreams are soul travel experiences. Now, Emily normally doesn't have these metaphysical experiences -- she is your quintessential Earth mother and loves every minute of it! But she actually saw my soul fly away, because I think she was in a relaxed state of mind, where her filters were down. And the filters being turned off allowed her to actually see my spirit, lift up out of the physical body and fly away. She saw me as I left to enjoy the deep, spiritual beauty of earth.

I first found divinity through the doorway of the creation that the Divine Be­ing has put here. The highest expression of it, of course, is the Earth around us and the sky around us. It is very Native American: Being part Cherokee and Catawba, I have a deep love for the Earth.

This has a lot to do with the work I'm doing now. My love and pas- sion for na­ture and Spirit is what moves me. I'm motivated by the future I see of Earth and her children. I see it and know it is possible.

It has been said that the best way to love God is to love his creation. I view it this way: There's the divine, Infinite Mind that's the inner being of God, of the Supreme Being. But the entire creation is equally infinite, and that's the outer robe, or rai­ment, of God. The creation is the outer expression of the same thing, and it's all one, perfectly one.

Even as a child, when I'd look up at the stars and see the sky, I didn't see empty space. I saw joy and felt an awake presence. I felt the divine being, expressed through nature and through the creation. As a scientist, I view it that way. This view is not incompatible with the study of the biochemistry of flowers - seeing how incredibly wondrous and extraordinary it's all put together, whether it's genet­ics, whether it's physics, whether it's electromagnetism, whether it's quantum physics, whether it's string theory, whether it's biochemistry, molecular, anatomy, physiology -- it's all an expression of an incredible conscious living Being. All of this is the outer body of God, phasing, resonating, moving as matter or space or time or energy.

Thus, every created thing is a doorway to the Creator. Walt Whitman certainly knew this, and Thoreau and Emerson. Nature is a great teacher. We have come out of the womb of Mother Earth, which is an outer expression of the infi­nite Godhead. Infinity is within us and with- in all things, but not divided - eter­nally in Its perfect wholeness. Everything is within and perfectly connected to each other. It's the perfect quantum hologram.

The question is: Is there a meta-theme that encapsulates all these experiences? The big theme and the transcendent theme is an ineffable oneness. Oneness.

If you have the ability to experience this state of consciousness, where you transcend space and time and materialism, you can encounter someone from another culture on Earth or another person from another planet or another realm, and rather than seeing them as "other," you see them as "same." This is very impor­tant, because the consciousness of 'otherness' is rooted in ignorance. Otherness is ignorance, whereas oneness is enlightenment.

If you can look at all beings and see that they're awake and conscious, just as we are, you can experience your oneness with them. This is true no matter how differ­ent their intellect, body, emotional timbre, or fund of knowledge may be. All these things that we usually focus on are real- ly ephemeral. If we look at the fact that they're awake and experience that state of awareness where we see the transcenden­tal value of the unbounded Mind, then we won't see them as "alien" or "other." And this is true whether you're talking about someone from Zimbabwe or Saudi Arabia or Alpha Centauri. It really doesn't matter - because it's another sentient, conscious being who has folded within his reality the awake-ness that is this uni­versal aspect of our own selves.

If you can experience this state of Oneness, first of all, you can communicate, which is very important. Secondly, you will not feel that there is anything to be afraid of. Thirdly, you will see nothing to have a conflict over, because the things that are different really aren't essential and aren't important.

I think you could put the founders of every religion on Earth together and they'd have a grand old time with, probably, no differences amongst them. It's the divisions that men create, out of egotism, materialism, chauvinism, igno­rance ,hatred and stupidity, that cause the prob- lems. The experience of Oneness is the indispensable experience so needed at this time...

So, the meta-theme that I have taken away from my own experience of these states of awareness is that of oneness. It is the meta-theme of the next half a million years: growing levels of oneness. And out of that grows perfect harmony, peace and enlightenment.

You see this all around us. The world is becoming more integrated and more re­lated. One of the great challenges of the extraterrestrial question is - what level of oneness must be attained for humanity to be uni- versal - to be able to relate peace­fully to conscious but non-human life?

We live in a cosmic moment, where humans are starting to go into space, and we're beginning to wake up to the fact that we're being visit- ed by extraterrestrial civilizations, and simply realizing the oneness of humanity isn't enough. We're going to have to transcend even that and go to a level where we understand the uni­versal aspect of the mind; the fact that conscious mind, awake-ness itself, is a uni­versal singularity and that the awake-ness within the being of a life form from an­other planet is identical to the awake-ness within us - even if our intellects are dif­fer- ent and our bodies are different and our fund of knowledge is different. All those things really are not essential.

This, then, speaks to the need for a universal spirituality. We live in a time not just of the need for the establishment of world peace but of universal peace. A time where such a peace can only be actualized fully through the acknowledgment of the universal nature of spirit and the universal nature of conscious mind. Other­wise, we will say, "Well, humanity is all one, and humans can have peace, but then there are all these others out there" - and what shall we do with them?

The truth is that these life forms are conscious and awake through the same in­ner awake-ness that shines within each of us. There is absolutely no difference.

Knowledge of This eliminates all fear -- if you can be in that state of awareness, you are in the state that is eternal and immortal, because it is outside the limits of time. And it's infinite, because it's not restricted by space. So, that state of con­sciousness is the safest path to being able to establish world peace and universal peace. This is why the fundamental challenge in the world today is spiritual.

CHAPTER 7

q^D

Universal Peace

We are in a cosmic moment. Humans today- albeit in classified pro- grams - have the means to travel among the stars. So, we must evolve from a human ori­ented spirituality to a genuine universal spirituality And if that doesn't occur, we will not be able to evolve to the next level of human destiny

Some say, "Well, this is a tall order. We're still here beating each other up - and now we're going to have to deal with relating to life forms from elsewhere." But look at it this way: when we acknowledge that we're not alone in the universe, it will make humans ~ all humans ~ seem like very close relatives. Now, in order to deal with the challenge of under- standing other civilizations, we will have to transcend the anthropocentric view of spirituality and evolve a universal spirituality. This is actually an extremely positive development. These challenges will propel humanity into truly developing a larger, genuine spirituality that has been missing for so long through our misguided belief system of separation.

The truth is that there is no separation. I've spoken to many Native American peoples who relate that one of the extraordinary things in the early days of native peoples encountering Europeans was the extent to which we lived in the sense of things being separate. The Native Americans considered this thinking quite strange. As for the aboriginals in Australia who still practice 'dream time' and are aware: they know that there is no separation. There's a sense of integration with the stars, with the infinity of things, with other peoples, worlds, and with each other. The extent to which we live in a separate way, we suffer. And the extent to which we live in a sense of oneness within ourselves and with all that there is, we are freed from suffering.

So, that's the essential theme that I see that keeps repeating. It is the experience of a universal oneness rooted in the experience of non-local, cosmic mind. World peace isn't going to be enough: it is time for universal peace. It's that or nothing. There can be no human future without universal peace.

That's the time we live in, and that's the challenge of the coming era. We must

know ourselves as universal, awake beings, and on that foundation universal peace can be established. It may first be just studied intellectually, but ultimately it must be experiential.

We live in a time where universal education and the universal ability to read should open up the whole array of knowledge to every denizen on the planet. And those who would care to be gatekeepers or bottle- necks - and keep a choke- hold on the flow of knowledge - simply need to step down and stand aside.

Let's be honest. There was a time when one out of 1,000 people on Earth knew how to read. And the clerics were scribes, and they would read and repeat to the masses what were in spiritual teachings.

But this is not needed in a time of universal education, where the majority of people can read. So, go read, and then gather together in your own spiritual commu­nity and share. But you don't need to anoint some- one to be a guru or priest. To do so is actually deleterious to your spiritual development. It does not matter if it's some New Age guru or people running around in robes saying that they're your entry point to the forgiveness of God. To me, it's all a harmful holdover from a time now gone.

I'm not saying that everyone who shares and teaches such things are frauds. I'm saying that people who set themselves up as final arbiters, special priests if you will, of spiritual knowledge are misguided. That time is over. We are at least 100 to 150 years into a time when no one on Earth has needed a priest, a rabbi, a mullah, or a guru, except as a facilita- tor to teach.

Ultimately people will wake up to the truth, but the fact is that the spiritual in- fantilization of the masses is something which is a very entrenched institution. What I mean by spiritual infantilization is the situation where the power and access to enlightenment or spiritual knowledge goes through these filters, or control points. And everyone else is acting like children, rather passively receiving it. That is a type of learned behavior - and you have to un-learn that behavior. This is spiri­tual co- dependency.

Granted, there's a role for people who want to share and teach spiritual informa­tion and pass it from one generation to another. But, I'm talking about hierarchy and the power grab and the control drama and the mind set of spiritual depend­ency. Unfortunately, this spiritual code- pendency is very, very powerful in terms of getting into people's minds where they feel like they can't learn and experience truth on their own without having someone there directing every step.

One of the positive things about the early years of my life was learn- ing that an individual can learn these truths and experience enlightenment with little formal education and no specific person directing it.

The close-minded orthodoxy of religion is equaled or exceeded by the close- minded orthodoxy of scientists who, in our society, have become the new high priests. Remember: Scientists are humans first and scientists later. So, they have all the failings and all the foibles of humans. Just because a Harvard professor has a PhD, it doesn't mean s/he doesn't have the same pitfalls that a priest would have in terms of self aggrandizement and egotism. They, too, can become fanatical and dogmatic in the belief system in which they've been indoctrinated, in lieu of search- ing for the truth.

Most of the problems that we face in our world today, whether they be spiritual and religious or scientific, political and economic, are all because people are holding onto some perspective that has nothing to do with the truth but has to do with their own belief system and addiction to something that's outdated, and they can't let go of it. This is certainly true of scientists. There are countless examples of how the main- stream scientific community has rejected enormous breakthroughs because it didn't fit into their belief system.

This is why I say to people, "One should have very few beliefs, but an abun­dance of faith." You can have infinite faith- but the specific beliefs you hold need to be minimal. Otherwise, people get trapped in brain- washed dogma, whether it be scientific or religious. They then become chauvinistic and egotistically attached to it. And as soon as that happens one has stopped searching for the truth.

We need a genuinely humble, universal spirituality. We must want to find the truth. And if the next door that opens cancels some of our previously held convic­tions and beliefs, then so be it. This is one of the rea- sons why, whether you're a physician or a scientist or someone doing spiritual work or an economist, the mind-set of being attached to an idea— as opposed to being clearly focused on wanting to know the truth -- is a hindrance to finding truth.

On a personal note, I'm very grateful that, prior to going into medi- cine, I had studied meditation, health and diet so that I came into medi- cine with a broader paradigm. I could take what was good in the med- ical and scientific area, without getting brainwashed by it.

This meta-system trapping happens in every profession and in every field. It hap­pens because people confuse the current state of knowledge with the ultimate state of knowledge. And the ultimate state of knowledge, no one has but the Divine Being. But because they know what they know, they think they know everything. And the truth is, most of what there is to know isn't known by anyone, ever.

And so I think the only way to avoid the pitfalls of the high priests of scientific cir­cles or of religious circles is to have enough genuine devotion to finding the truth and a willingness to reform what your assess- ment is. Thus, there are very few things that become fixed and absolute. And everything else is relative. But that's the nature of the world we're in. It's a relative world. And there are very few

things that need to be fixed and absolute.

If you study the central teachings of every spiritual tradition on Earth, they all agree: the existence of God; the qualities of forgiveness and love; and these larger spiritual themes. They're all universal. Where they dif- fer is in one social teaching or another, or one cultural bias or another -- which are really ephemeral and changing with each spiritual tradition and aren't that important, anyway.

You know, you may be very orthodox in some areas, and that's fine if it works for you. But don't think that that is the end and the beginning of all knowledge for spiritual traditions. It isn't. There are very few things that need to be in the category of ongoing, certain truths. And most everything else should be in a state of evaluation and evolution.

But we're not trained to do that. Our educational system, whether it's religious or scientific, is designed to create rigidity and, in that way, engenders fanaticism. It then becomes a fiefdom that those benefiting from the structure of belief want to protect at all costs. And certainly this is true in science, where there are people who, no matter how much evidence you put in front of them, would say, "This can't be true."

Our science advisor for the Project, Dr. Loder, has a colleague at the University of New Hampshire who said he wouldn't care if you gave him one of these new energy machines and he tested it and proved it worked: he still wouldn't be­lieve it because it's not possible!

So, these become fanatical belief systems that are just as tragic as the fanatical be­lief systems that certain religious extremists are attached to. And all of it ends up hurting society.

One of the things I want to share is what happened at MIU where I was learn­ing to become a meditation instructor. There, I was experimenting with the ap­plications of higher states of consciousness. One night, late, I was sitting, medi­tating, and I saw a young woman in my class in my mind's eye, and invited her to come over to my room. We were going to talk about spiritual matters and then meditate together.

All of a sudden I saw her, in my mind's eye. I was in a deep quiet meditation, and I saw her leave her dorm, come out, walk around the campus, come up the steps, and then, bang, bang, knocked on my door. And it so startled me, because it was almost like a dream, except I was actually seeing it in living color. I opened the door and I said, "Oh, it is you." She said, "Oh, were you expecting me?" I said, "Well, I saw you coming." And it was just crystal clear.

During those years between ages 16 and 20, I started experiencing these sorts of things on a daily basis, if not many times a day- and at times continuously. And I have used this ability to create CSETI and the Disclosure Project and to identify a

lot of the intelligence sources and the witnesses we have. Some of them find me, but I find them, also, or draw them in. We'll talk about this later. It gets into high strangeness.

Remember, the universe is folded within us, and we have enormous powers, every human being -- not just me, and not just you; everyone; they're the same -­and that when needed, we can call upon this Higher Power to do what is needed to achieve something wonderful.

Now, if you're willing to make the ultimate sacrifice and you also have this knowledge, then you cross over into what's called a spirit war- rior: someone who's willing to do what's needed, no matter what the risks are. You exist be­yond fear.

I believe that these early years prepared me to do what I then later had to do and was part of my purpose in being here. I always felt that when I had the near-death experience and was told, "You may come with us or return back to your body on Earth" and was told that Spirit wanted me back on earth, that I had this work to do. I could have chosen to have not come back here and gone on and stayed in that state of awareness with those very high celestial beings. I chose to submit to their will- not that I was happy with it. I told you initially it was rather depressing- hav­ing had the childhood I had, and being very sick -- I wasn't really interested in com­ing back here. But I acceded to it.

Transformation doesn't come into being except through the agency of the free will of humans. And that means us. Now, obviously, between 1980 and 1990 I was aware of these things- but having recently been mar- ried and having four children in eight years (between 1980 and 1988) and becoming a medical doctor and residency and starting my medical practice, I had a full plate. Yet, I didn't forget these lessons. I knew that it was the time to establish the family and career and the ability to further do this work.

CHAPTER 8

Q^D

Total Transformation

We cannot just stand back passively and let rogue kleptocrats run roughshod over the entire Earth and cannibalize the Earth, killing mil- lions of people. In a discussion I had with a Special Ops person from Fort Huachuca, Army intelli­gence headquarters in Arizona, I asked, "At what point would it have been appropri­ate to restrain, by any means necessary. Hitler and his inner circle?" My opinion: "At the earliest possible moment."

There are rabid dogs amongst us. And some of them may never be amenable to either reason or spiritual enlightenment. Do we then say, "Oh, then we can't do anything"? The right of self-defense is a universal one.

This is where I am, clearly, not a pacifist. I believe in peace, and I believe in using higher spiritual abilities, but ultimately, there is a place for intervening and protecting innocent people when there is someone who is truly mad and on the loose. In a sense, we live in a society that has a large component of collective insan­ity. It's a society gone mad. And there are some things that need to happen that re­quire discipline and decisive action.

But you don't cross over into vengeance or anger. It has to be done for the right reasons, just like when you discipline a child, you're not doing it out of venge­ance and anger, but you're doing it for their edification and their enlightenment and for their future.

In raising our children, we have had high expectations and firm discipline. We were not permissive. At times, our children thought we were too strict, but as they have grown older they are so grateful for having been raised with values, disci­pline and love. I share this about my own family philosophy to say that, in society, it's the same way One can be very loving but also see where there's a place to in­tervene and be disciplined and not to indulge misbehavior or to look the other way when there are rabid dogs ripping apart a peaceful flock of sheep.

This requires wisdom. We live in a world where people polarize around ei­ther an impractical New Age spirituality and pacifism or a traditional "us versus

them, let's kill everyone we don't understand" mind- set. Neither is going to get this right. We have to be cognizant of the time we live in. And the time we live in is not the time of the perfect world- yet.

There was a 400,000-year cycle that literally started with "Adam," who was the

first Avatar of that cycle. That cycle ended in the mid- to late 1800s.

What opened at that point is a 500,000-year cycle, the hallmark of which is universal peace, the oneness of human and universal life, and the eventual estab­lishment of a genuine enlightened civilization on Earth. This will be a time of an unbroken period of peace that, at first, will be a political peace, a time of no more large wars and conflicts on earth. But that will then give birth to a period of a great peace - the peace of enlightenment where the entire Earth and everyone on it will grow in spiritual oneness. Earth will become one of the extraordinary centers of enlightenment, and known as such throughout the cosmos.

So, as bad as things seem now, that's not where it's going to stay! And it isn't going to be like this much longer. This shift to a new time, a new era, has been going on for about 150 years. But out of 500,000 years, we are just at the early crack of dawn. And as one cycle closes and the other opens, a time of maximum chaos is created. This is why we are in the most chaotic period in known recorded history. But soon that will give way to another reality on Earth.

The knowledge and spiritual capacity for world peace was available through the people who lived on Earth 100 years ago. The means of communication were there and the "Divine Will" and "Divine Plan" were there. Humans elected not to act. It wasn't done, because we failed to do it.

So, this is our choice. And now we're living through the ramifications of it. It's our choice right now, this moment. We're all making choices, collectively and individually. And the aggregate of the operation of that free will has given us the world we see today.

The events that happened back in the mid- to late 1800s are that a universal Avatar, as I understand it, appeared and then disappeared dur- ing that time. That is, the over-soul Avatar for the next half a million years appeared, created spiritu­ally a new world, and then vanished. The information, knowledge and, within the finest realm of creation, the means for this new time, were all created. It's all here now: Look and you will see it! We as humans have to see it, realize it and manifest it. We're the ones, now, who have to carry the rest of the water. The oceans are there, but the water has to still be delivered to where it's needed, and we're the ones who have to carry that water.

It's a wonderful time, actually. And I'm quite certain that most people have no idea of the time in which we live. What they're waiting to happen has happened already. In the Bible it refers to "a thief in the night," - that this new world would be created spiritually, and this knowledge would appear -- and it would be like a thief - nobody would know until He was gone. Well, that's very true.

So, I'm saying a lot of those events are 100 to 150 years in our rearview mirror. And most religious, political and other leaders are look- ing backwards. They're waiting for something to happen that happened already. So, the Earth and everyone on it, in a sense, is in a state of retar- dation, because it's been hijacked, mostly out of ignorance. And so the only way to fix ignorance is to share knowledge.

As I said earlier, one of the problems is that nice people have a serious flaw: They're nice. And because nice people are nice, the rabid wolves and the mad dogs can rip them apart. So, we live in a time where a certain amount of clear-eyed spirituality and genuine knowledge has to be joined with some real courage.

We live, unfortunately, in a time where spirituality has been equated with passiv­ity. This is a very dangerous thing, because it's a propaganda or indoctrination that's designed to create people who are spiritually oriented and very nice, but very passive and ineffectual. And in that passivity, the rabid dogs can have full sway.

People like Gandhi or Martin Luther King, Jr.: These were people who were flawed human beings just like we all are, but they were spiritually oriented, and had the courage of their convictions- and they acted. They were threatened and took risks and ultimately were killed.

I am asked in almost every lecture I give, "Aren't you afraid?" I answer: "Well, look. You have to understand that as an emergency doc- tor, I've taken care of I don't know how many people killed over a 50- cent beer. "

Two high school boys came in Code Blue, dead on arrival, that we tried to save. This happened because one of them had patted the other one's girlfriend on the fanny and they pulled out knives and sliced each other's guts and hearts open. I've seen people die over such ephemera and over such trivial things that if you un­derstand what these issues are about and you're not willing to step up to the plate and take a bullet, you're a coward.

I've said flat out to some of these folks who are involved in these projects, "You want to whack me? Go ahead."

I'm on borrowed time anyway. I figure that everything past the age of 17, when I was clinically dead, is a gift.

The world needs people who understand what the task is and are willing to go the distance. The time we're living in right now is a real test for people to get that balance -- it's a yin and yang, male-female attribute sort of thing. We must combine the spiritual and loving with the active, assertive and disciplined. Change requires that we bring those qualities together. It's like two wings of a bird. And it's often said that in humanity, the male and female, are two wings of a bird. And

so long as one is impaired, the bird will never fly straight and will never stay aloft.

This is not only in terms of men and women, and basic equality, but it is also about the attributes that we have to evince and demonstrate in our life to manifest that kind of harmony.

We live in a world where women generally are taught not to be assertive and ac­tive, and men are not taught to be spiritual and loving. This is a perversion of hu­man nature. It has nothing to do with male or female. There may be dominance in these areas in one sex or the other, but the task is to bring them into harmony. The duality of 'this or that' we have to transcend. We have to bring both of these qualities and attributes to bear in our lives.

Unless we do, we're not going to be successful in establishing the kind of civi­lization on this planet that will be enduring. Had we done so for 100 years , I have no doubt in my mind that we would have already had a permanently established peaceful world civilization here. I'm certain by the mid-1900s we would have had electro-gravitic transportation between cities; we would have had free energy and non-polluting energy forms running the Earth; we would have had all these things. People laugh and say, "Oh, it's like the Jetsons." Well, in fact, some of these car­toons and science fiction stories that were created were based on very well- known facts and prototypes of technologies that were up and flying around back in the '50s and '60s.

We have not collectively or individually exercised our powers through the operation of free will and the knowledge that goes with it that can create this new world. As soon as we do, we'll have it. And until we do, it won't happen.

This is why I encourage people to not look at this as some visionary, futuristic ef­fort, but in reality, as doing a bit of a catch-up. We can talk about the real future, because the establishment of a peaceful civilization using non-harmful technologies to run our civilization is something that really could have been achieved decades ago. It's a total transformation of the way humans will live on Earth and explore the cosmos.

CHAPTER 9

Q^D

Information in Unconventional Ways

The love of higher states of awareness and the study and application of such knowledge continued even in my medical career. I've spoken to a number of physi­cians and others who are in high stress jobs. Believe me, a busy ER is a stressful place to be. Everything in our lives can be applied if we're open to keeping our­selves integrated to that experience, including these experiences with consciousness and higher states of awareness.

One morning, I was back in the call room at the hospital at about three o'clock a.m.. I was lying there, just sort of relaxing. There was no one in the ER at that particular moment after hours of non-stop patients. As I was lying there, in my mind's eye I saw very clearly a woman com- ing in with congestive heart failure, and she was dying. I saw it so clearly that I got up and put on my scrub top and shoes and went out to the ER.

The nurses said, "What are you doing here?" I said, "I'm expecting a congestive heart failure patient - an elderly woman - to come in." They said, "Well, there's been no call." And about two seconds later, the radio call came in from the para­medics: "We're on our way in with a woman with congestive heart failure, respira­tory distress...."

This type of intuitive experience would happen frequently in the ER, but it wasn't appropriate to talk about, because our society wants to keep spirituality and this kind of experience separate from our careers, our families and, our politics and from eve­rything.

Another time, a 26-year-old male came in during flu season who thought he was sick with the flu. The nurse triaged him and put him in a medical room. We were very busy - we had 14 trauma and exam rooms, and one doctor! I went in and saw this man. He had fever, chills, nau- sea, body aches and headache and all the symp­toms that you would see with the flu. Normally, most doctors would examine him, do a couple tests and give him a prescription for Amantadine for the flu, and off they'd go.

I looked at this man and enigmatically sensed that he had a brain tumor. Now, there were no symptoms of a brain tumor. He did not have any neurological find­ings such as paralysis,numbness, seizure, etc. But I had the power of my convic­tions. So I turned to the nurse and I said, "I want a stat CT of the head." Well she looked at me like I was crazy and said, " Dr. Greer, he's only got the flu!" And I said, "Just do it."

Thank God I didn't have to go through an HMO or some insensitive bean counter, because if I had, this man would be dead today! ( Memo to the politicians and money whores ruining our medical systems: Medicine is an art, as well as a science.)

So, from this intuitive knowledge, I ordered a CAT scan. He really did not, ob­jectively, meet any criteria for ordering one. But I said, "Whoever's on the table, yank them off. Get them out of the scanner; I want this one in, stat." So, he goes in, and the radiologist calls back, stat, and says, "Dr. Greer, this man has a massive astrocytoma" --a big brain tumor -- that was herniating the brain stem!

Now, here's what was happening: All of his symptoms were because the brain stem was being pushed through the opening at the base of the skull, the foramen magnum, and it was putting pressure on the area that controls temperature regula­tion, nausea, etc. So, he was having all these symptoms of fever and chills and nau­sea, but it was all due to this tumor and its strange presentation. The shape of this tumor was such that it wasn't affecting any specific sensory or motor function. It was a very atypical situation.

It was serious enough that, with this kind of pressure being built up in the brain, it eventually would have herniated the brain stem, cut off the respiratory and heart center, and he would have suddenly died. I immediately referred him to neurosurgery for stat decompression. We had to helicopter him, actually, to another facility.

"Dr. Greer, why did you think this patient had a brain tumor? I would have never suspected it with his presentation! I would have never even gotten the CAT scan," the neurosurgeon told me. "Oh, I just had a hunch...," I said. The truth is that it was a type of sensing -- the pop culture would say "remote viewing."

It was an intuitive knowing, because the symptom complex, if any- thing, would have led me into a facile diagnosis of the flu, and I would have "treated and streeted", as we say. But if I had not followed my inner knowing, in less than 12 hours he would have been dead. As it turned out, he had neurosurgery and it was successful.

We really can bring this kind of capacity and knowledge into our careers, even though we're not "supposed to"-- and particularly those of us who are hard sci­ence people. In science and medicine, this sort of thing is very frowned upon.

And yet, I have found that there are a num­ber of physicians who have had similar experiences that they won't talk about openly for fear of ridicule.

Another time there were two Code Blues going on at once. Well, I'm one doctor and I've got two people who literally have had their heart stopped. The one we had been working on first had been in arrest a long time. Then another one came in. The first patient was in a type of rhythm that is fatal if you don't get them out of that rhythm. We'd used everything that could be used: cardioversion, all the medicines, every- thing. I won't go into the gory, technical details. The fact is, it wasn't working. Finally, we were going to have to call the code - end it - but I just sensed that this person could get back into a normal rhythm. So I put my awareness on the heart, visualized the conduction system of the heart, and called on this higher power- the power of God- and mentally visualized and willed his heart going back into a normal beat. And it did, at that instant! Now, it may have been a coincidence. Some of the skeptics would say, "Well, these other things kicked in." But I don't think so. It was very specific. But it was out of necessity - do or die, literally. So when you have to do it, and you call on the divine power in the universe- and it is urgent, heart-felt and done with a pure heart - almost any­thing is possible! When you have to do it, then suddenly you find this ability, by turning within to the power of God, to do it.

A number of things like that happened over the course of my med- ical career and actually continue to happen. A few years ago I was driv- ing outside Helena, Montana. It was before we moved here to Virginia, and I wanted to move my fam­ily from North Carolina to someplace, and I wasn't sure where. So I was driving around Montana, exploring the area. All of a sudden I found myself driving along in broad daylight and I saw what I call an image override. It's like you have two screens, like a screen within a screen on TV

As I was driving down the road, in my mind I saw an intersection in broad day­light with a terrible traffic accident, where I knew there'd be fatalities. It wasn't vague. I said to myself, "This is going to happen- -- I'm going to come across this soon." So, I started looking around the car for what I might have in the way of any medical items - even a straw if I had to make an airway or anything.

About an hour later, I was at an intersection on the east side of Glacier Na­tional Park, in the middle of nowhere. It was one of these dangerous highway intersections where it was a stop on a busy highway, and someone just didn't stop. A Suburban went through the intersection and T-boned a Ford Taurus rental vehi­cle that had a German couple in it. When I got there, the elderly couple in the Taurus were dead at the scene- both of them. And the other people in the Suburban were very seriously injured and pinned under the dashboard. So, I focused on helping the survivors in the Subur­ban. Finally a rural paramedic crew came along, and we all worked to stabilize them.

Then as I was doing this, I looked up and I saw the mountain that I had seen in my dream a week before I traveled to Montana. One evening I had a dream where there was a mountain that reminded me of the shape of the Mount of Temptation in Israel, outside Jericho. I clearly saw a scintillating light, like a spirit, over this mountain. The dream experience was very spiritual, but there was no other mes­sage or image, and I thought, "How strange."

After helping the survivors, I connected with God and said a prayer to send the deceased man and woman to the highest level spiritually and to connect with God. As I did that I looked up and saw a beautiful white light appear above the mountain at the exact moment that I was connect- ing their souls to God. And then it was clear to me that this was why I went to Montana - to be there at that moment in time, but beyond time, because it was also eternal. I was there for that purpose, and to also help these two other people, who did survive.

We got a chopper in there, but they could only take one patient, and I had to de­cide which one was going by chopper; the one who had to go by ground could have died. I prayed I made the right choice.

You have to be willing to follow your guidance and the intuition you get- and you have to be willing to act. I've done that throughout my medical career, no matter what the situation. And I recommend that people accept that responsibility. It is accepting your power and then accepting the responsibility that goes with that power.

I've spoken, since then, to a number of people who've been fighter pilots or who have been commercial airline pilots in a critical situation where they've had similar pre-cognitive experiences that helped them avoid disaster. Many people have these experiences in their lives. And the more critical or stressful the work is, the more likely this type of abil- ity might be called upon. But I think it can be brought into almost every- thing you do.

This can be a way of life, and not something that you do just on the side occa­sionally. The understanding of spirituality and divinity need not be reserved for an hour or two on Sunday or an occasional event here and there. It can be an inner awakening that is with us all the time - and called up and applied all the time.

There may be a ritual or a service that does something for you, but the reality is that the conscious connection to the unbounded Divine state is something that can be cultured and lived and brought into everything that we're doing at all times.

That's a discipline and way of living where we are always connected to Spirit and living in that state.

Once the nephew of one of our nurses was brought into the ER because he had been hit head-on by a pick-up truck while riding a motorcycle. It was a stormy, horrible day. He was very critical, and basically had the same injury that killed Princess Di, which was a ruptured thoracic aorta -- often not survivable.

I began working on him with the great nurses we had and somehow I sensed that he had a ruptured aorta. We took a chest X-ray. The X-ray was rather ambiguous, but I felt that it confirmed my sensing this injury.

Well, the general surgeon on call came in and said, "Oh, he wouldn't be alive and look like this if he had a ruptured aorta!" I said, "Man, he's got a ruptured aorta." The surgeon asked, "How do you know that?" I said, "I'm just certain that he does." So, I wrestled with this surgeon, fighting with him not to ignore it or treat him in a way that could suddenly kill him.

I got him to a thoracic surgeon and CT Scan of the chest, and it was then con­firmed. But if we had not treated him very carefully in terms of hydration, blood pressure, everything else, we could have blown open the thoracic aorta completely and he would have died.

Over and over and over again, these events happened in the ER. I would love to give a course integrating medical science with intuitive knowledge. Yes, our gadgets and our technologies and sciences are wonderful, but there is also a role for the art of knowing and intuition. It is a balance and we need to regain it in every as­pect of our lives.

Someday we will have a civilization where people working in critical areas, no matter how material the science may seem, will also accept that there is a role to play for higher states of consciousness.

When in the thick of something that serious, I find myself operating in a way where I am connecting to multiple levels at once. It's very intellectual, and there's a lot of specific scientific knowledge to call on. There are many physical, material things to do and a lot of management deci- sions to be made.

Part of it is the compassion, but there is also a fierce, unrelenting determina­tion to help that person. The nurses would tell me that if any- thing happened to one of their loved ones, they'd want me to be the doc on call. It didn't necessarily come across as compassion, but that's where I was operating from. Good God, emer­gency situations are intense - we are not sitting around swinging crystals and count­ing prayer beads!

If a doctor got in there and didn't know what he was doing, in my quest to pro­tect life I would physically remove him and say, "Out. You're killing this person. I'm taking over." So part of me is very alpha male.

I was awake on these other levels as well. See, I wasn't shut off. If I got an intui­tive image or some sort of a clear view of something, even though it was coming out of a non-"scientific" intuition, I would not rule it out. I would be open to the possibility that I needed to pursue it.

It gave me an edge in situations where I really shouldn't have "known" to get the CAT scan for the brain tumor. I should not have known to treat that per­son like he had a ruptured aorta, because it was not typical or clear enough. I would catch things earlier, or find hidden problems because I was connected to this non-local, expanded and intuitive Spirit that is within all of us and within all things. It is a very interesting dynamic and very nuanced.

Before I started CSETI, I was in my bedroom one afternoon, sitting on the side of my bed. Suddenly, I got what I call an override, an image. Again, it's like a screen within a screen. You don't lose consciousness or your view of the 'real world', but you also see very clearly, in full color, another scene or place.

In an instantaneous packet of information, I saw Air Force One either landing or taking off from Colombia, South America. It was hit by a shoulder-held, surface-to-air missile that was fired by rogue elements within the Colombian de­fense forces that were on the payroll of the drug cartels. They were going to kill the first President Bush when he was vis- iting there. I saw the facility, the landing strip. I saw the grass around the field. I saw the woods on the edge of it and precisely where the missile came out. It was catastrophic — the President was killed. "God," I asked, "What in the world am I suppose to do with this information?"

I prayed for guidance. The dream lay heavily on my mind.

Weeks later, Emily and I went to Washington for a medical meeting. That night, I had a dream. In this dream, I was with Barbara Bush, and she was all dressed in black and getting out of a black limousine, and we were at the funeral of the Presi­dent, George Bush. I thought, "Oh, my God. He really is dead." An enormous heaviness came upon me; "This should have been prevented."

I awoke in a cold sweat and turned to Emily, telling her my night- mare.

Emily is my closest friend, companion and soul-mate, and I tell her everything! I asked, "What am I going to do? Call the White House and Secret Service and tell them about this?"

"Well, why not?" she asked. We continued to discuss it all day and that next eve­ning, we got out the phone book and looked up the number for the White House. Below was a number for the Secret Service. We were amazed it was actually in the phone book!

I called the number and I said, "My name is Dr. Steven Greer, and I'm an emer­gency doctor." I apologize, "I know this is going to sound completely crazy, but I had a very clear image of an assassination attempt on the President. And it's seri­ous." The first person I talked to said, "Hold on, sir. I'll forward your call." And there was a long silence, I knew they were putting me into some super­computer database. Then, the chief of the protective detail for the President, at the White House with the Secret Service picked up the line.

I started to apologize again and he said, "Sir, we take this sort of information very seriously" I assured him, "You know, I've never done any- thing like this. I don't cry wolf. I met my wife in a lucid dream; I have this ability to see things in the fu­ture that come to pass. This happens spontaneously when it needs to." He was very serious and attentive and said, "Just tell me everything." So I explained, "In my dream, the President is going down to Colombia; either on take-off or landing, Air Force One is hit." I described everything -- that it's an inside job and it is Co­lombian defense people who betray the security detail and are act- ing on behalf of these people who run the drug cartels.

The Secret Service agent said, "What do we need to do to avoid this?" I said, "Well, if you can't get the President to cancel the trip, you need to, at the last min­ute, change where Air Force One lands. You need to be sure that everyone within striking distance of a shoulder-held missile is connected to your people and not Colombian. And you need to sweep the area that far out. He said, "We'll do it."

Weeks later, in "Newsweek" I read an article that said that, in fact, a contract for $5 million had been put out on the life of President Bush and that arms mer­chants in the Middle East, including Israel, had sold the drug cartels in Colombia shoulder-held missiles! This article, which came out AFTER my vision, stated that advisors to the President were asking him to cancel this trip.

It turns out, of course, he did take the trip and he wasn't killed. I was told years later by a very high intelligence official -- and also a Secret Service Agent -­that what I had said, was taken to heart, and they did make security changes. I doubt President Bush ever knew anything about it.

That's when I learned that, in fact, there were some very smart and good people in the intelligence community and in the Secret Service who understand the power of consciousness. They clearly respect this type of ability.

I tell people: Don't be afraid of your convictions—trust them. Sometimes you have to go out on a limb. I certainly took a flyer when I made a cold call to the White House Secret Service and told them this story. But I also think this episode built credibility in these covert circles, because they knew that what I was saying was accurate information.

After calling the Secret Service, that night I had another very lucid dream. Ex­cept this time I was with Barbara Bush and we were all dressed in white, and riding white horses, and everything was light and very happy. It was clear to me then that the President would be safe.

I think many people receive important information in unconventional ways, but it's just not talked about. We need to make it okay to talk about these things. We need to make it okay to bring this sort of discus- sion in without the fear of ridicule or the opprobrium of our peers. We can do that by the dynamic force of our exam­ple- by walking the talk.

CHAPTER 10

q^D

Tone of Creation

In 1990, after being, in medical training and practice for a while, I had a series of events happen that suddenly brought me back to the experiences of the late 1970s. This is the story of how CSETI got started. On the full moons of January, February, and March of 1990,1 had some real- ly extraordinary experiences, that awakened in me the contact of many years before

The first one happened when I was in our bedroom of our home in Biltmore Forest. I was walking around in the bedroom getting undressed. All of a sudden, very clearly, a thought was projected or came to me that said, "Pick up that which you have dropped." It wasn't in a pejorative or accusatory way at all. It was a reminder to just pick up that which I had not been doing for a while. It was time.

It was very specific - almost like a code phrase that opened up an entire uni­verse of knowledge. It's hard to explain in words. But I knew what it meant. I knew exactly what it meant. So I immediately connect- ed to universal conscious­ness, to the whole concept of universal peace and to the extraterrestrial presence. And I thought, "Well, I guess its time..." And I started wondering what I was supposed to do with this sort of instruction?

Initially, I simply considered it. I began looking into ET related issues again. Then one day someone told me about a group that was meeting in Asheville that did a lot of meditation and they wanted me to come to the meeting. So, I went, and there was a woman there, who never had met me and knew nothing about my experiences.

After about 30 of us sat down, she looked me right in the eyes and said: "You're connected to extraterrestrial beings from other worlds." And I'm looking for the door! Here I am, an emergency doctor living in this city! She stated, "You need to pick up that again." She used almost the same phrase. That was on the full moon of February of 1990.

On the full moon of March 1990 ~ I meditated in my bedroom. That next day I had to get up early to go to the hospital, but I decided to do something I had

not done since 1977: The CE-5 protocol. I did the protocol and invited these extra terrestrial beings to visit me. After reminding them who I was, I showed them ex­actly where I was located in Asheville, NC. I showed them the house and the large front yard and its exact setting. It was a three-story Tudor house, about eight thou­sand square feet, and set among huge beautiful trees. I showed the ETs all the de­tails and then I went to sleep.

I woke up with a beautiful craft semi-materialized out in the front yard of the house, in the wee hours of the morning, and found myself consciously floated on board. We were all in a quasi-materialized astral state, and as we floated out and went out into space I could look back and see the beautiful earth receding away, floating in infinity.

Then we went by what I am assuming was the moon. There wasn't a sign there that said, "This is the moon, Welcome to the moon, population 39," but it looked like the moon to me. And there were enormous ships that were hovering over the moon. They were oval with struts that came up from a large craft with two other similar shaped oval discs above and towards the rear of the main ship. They were just floating silently along where the terminator section of the moon is, between the light and dark side of the moon. An incredible amount of energy, like magenta col­ored plasma discharges, were going between the surface of the moon and the under­belly of these ships. They were enormous and as we passed by I was told by these ETs that these craft were there making preparations for the coming decade or so. This happened in 1990, so it is clear that they were making preparations for major events for around the time we are in right now.

We went further out into our solar system, and the experience trans- formed so that the material aspect of the ship disappeared - it was just like in 1973 when I was 18 when everything became translucent, and I was out in space without a craft around me- and yet somehow it was still there. It was very multi-dimensional, but at this point transcendence beyond linear time/space became the dominant percep­tion. It's like the most perfect fiber optics: Imagine the walls of your room com­pletely dis- appearing, even though they are there and you are still protected in a con­trolled environment. At that point, I went into a state of meditative awareness and transcended into unity consciousness; I was infinitely awake and the entire cosmos was awake and perfectly synchronized as one.

As I entered that state I began to gaze around the solar system and saw that every planet was surrounded by space which was filled with infinite energy and light. The empty space was actually teeming with light and energy. I could directly see the baseline energy of the universe - the field of energy and light from which the en­tire material cosmos emerges from Infinite Mind - from the Godhead. Instead of the darkness between stars and planets, there was an enormous light and energy with solid planets mov­ing as islands of energy in this field of energy and power. Then, As I gazed at each planet, I directly perceived that each one was awake and conscious and had a specific tone and personality. Each created sphere had a very specific tone -and if I were more musically inclined I could recreate it. They were all pure tones and very specific. As I looked at Mercury I saw he was rather androgynous but more male; Venus was definitely female. Jupiter was just fantastic. And Mars is def­initely male. The Earth: Definitely female.

As I gazed at Earth, there was a very beautiful tone emanating from her. Re­member, each planet had its own tone of creation -- no two tones were alike. Some much higher and some very deep and baritone, but all were beautiful tones. As I gazed at the Earth, I connected with her as an awake conscious being and she communicated to me this infinite and crushing -- I use the word crushing be­cause I couldn't tell the story for years without weeping - love. And there was a sense of melancholy also, for what was happening to her and the damage being done to her and the suffering of humanity upon her. It was profound and beyond words. It was one of the most emotional and moving experiences of my life.

Earth was very clearly saying how great her love was for her children and that her purpose was to be the womb for creating life that could become enlightened and grow towards Divinity. But she was also suffer- ing tremendously from the reckless­ness and selfishness of her children. So there was this enormous melancholy - a sad­ness beyond my ability to convey in words. And yet, towards the end of our communion, she made it very clear that this suffering would not continue for much longer. Earth made it clear that this burden would be lifted suddenly.

By now, I was in such a state of deep love and emotion that my heart chakra opened fully and an enormous love and celestial perception dawned. This celes­tial perception of the cosmos caused me to see the light of creation and all things suffused in love - the pure love of God. And as I went into that state, I heard all the distant worlds, every star and planet and the entire creation, singing as one - like a trillion tones blend- ed into the one pure tone of the creation.

At that point, I transcended into a state that I cannot describe. It was a state where I heard a singular tone that was the perfectly harmonized tone of the entire creation humming, singing. It was the primal tone emanating from the earliest manifestation of relativity out of the infinite mind of God that maintains creation. It was the most beautiful experience of my life.

As I transcended into that - I became one with that state and stayed within that state of Being. I don't know how long I was in that condition. But know that this is what is all around us. The music of the spheres is a reality - and within

the tone, one can transcend to the infinity of the cosmic Being

This primal tone wasn't "Om", per se. I believe that is a human attempt to repro­duce this ancient experience that is the perception of the sound of the primal thought emanating from the Infinite Being that creates the entire creation. It was on the level of the near death experience in terms of the transformative effect it had on me. After I stayed in that state of complete unity consciousness and God consciousness, my individuality dissolved. All that existed was infinite Being - and even the creation and Creator were one, the same, infinite awake-ness. I stayed in that state with it vibrating through me - just permeating me - for what seemed like eternity. Because I was beyond space and time, it is meaningless to talk about it in terms of how "long" it was. But after, I found myself relatively conscious again. Suddenly I was back in my bedroom and became aware of the glowing out­side the window where the craft was. I laid there peacefully and went to sleep.

The next day I learned that one of our children had a lucid dream with little ET children, who were teaching her games ET children played on their planet! This daughter did not understand the games, so she began to give the ET chil­dren rides on the back of her banana seat bicycle, up and down our driveway! This child had never heard me talk about ETs or any of these experiences! It confirmed what happened to me as real. And it became very clear to me that I was sup­posed to pick this whole issue up again just as I had heard two months earlier in January, 1990.

At that point, I began wondering: What am I going to do? How am I going to do this?

I decided that I would just start looking into the subject again and find out what was out there. I found out there was an organization that was having a meet­ing in Florida where there had been many UFO sightings, the so-called Gulf Breeze Sightings near Pensacola. This meeting was in July of 1990. I had the con­cept of what I wanted to do and that was create in the world interplanetary ambas­sadors that would be doing what is now called the CE-5 Initiative, the Close En­counters of the Fifth Kind Initiative. I went to this meeting, and started sharing these ideas and concepts, and the right people suddenly just surfaced and came into my life mysteriously who said, No, don't do it through any existing enti- ty, create your own reality.

Then a man who had been involved in national security issues connected to this subject for years and who was a lawyer came up to me and told me what I needed to do: "Form an organization; hermetically seal it so it can't be penetrated -- in other words, no open board and no open membership; avoid, if you can, being obscure; and as quickly as you can, given what you are going to be doing and what your role is - get out in the public. You must let millions of people know what you are do­ing - otherwise you won't survive. If you are obscure, you are dead." He gave me the best advice ever.

I knew that much of the information at this conference was false, that it was disin­formation. I immediately recognized that.

Then, in August of 1990, I was in the upstairs den adjacent to the master bed­room, sleeping because Emily was up and down with the youngest baby and I had a 24 -hour shift at the ER the next day. Around

2 am I awakened - and was calmly super-aware, very awake. In the cor- ner of the room was a cluster of scintillating lights that was hovering near the ceiling. I ac­knowledged it, and immediately sat up and picked up the pad of paper beside the bed. I then wrote out the entire plan and con- cept for everything we have been do­ing for the last 15 years. This included the CE-5 Initiative protocols, the plans, eve­rything. It was as if this scintillating light had awakened all the organization and plan within me and they were just pouring through me. This lasted for an hour or so, and then I went back to sleep and got up around 6 am to work in the emergency department for 24 hours. It was then that I formed CSETI, The Center for the Study of Extraterrestrial Intelligence, came up with that name, the con­cepts, the CE-5 Initiative, the need for disclosure, and the entire interplanetary am­bassador program. All of it just unfolded in that one night. So things can come in packets of knowledge, all at once, mysteriously.

Of course, I didn't know anybody and nobody knew me. I mean, I was just a country doctor in North Carolina with four kids and a golden retriever and a couple of cars in Biltmore Forest, just living my life. But these experiences made it clear: I must start working on this. But how do you take that vision and actualize it? We had to bootstrap the whole thing.

Over the next couple of years, when I would articulate something that I needed to do or somebody I needed to meet, through mysterious means that per­son would be introduced to me, within hours, frequently. I will never forget the time that I said, "We really need to get this information to the Secretary General of the United Nations..." and within about an hour or two someone called who I had never heard of and said, "You don't know who I am but I am very good friends with Boutros-Ghali and Mrs. Boutros-Ghali, Leah Ghali, wants to have you come to a meeting.". That is how all this happened, in a very inscrutable way. It was all guided, supported - from behind the veil, a hand was moving.

Our ability to get the truth to the right people all came about because the doors opened mysteriously. And this is how I knew that what I was doing was the right action.

By 1991, I had decided that I needed to begin to train people in the experience

of the Close Encounters of the Fifth Kind Initiative, the CE-5 Initiative. A CE-5 is when humans deliberately welcome and make contact with extraterrestrial peo­ple by using a set of protocols to vector them into an area to interact with them. That was the first project of CSETI.

Within a very short time I also wrote all the assessments of the situation. Those white papers were created very quickly. They immediate- ly got picked up by peo­ple at the CIA and distributed throughout the aerospace industry. I had a top covert aerospace person call and say, "This is the most accurate assessment of the UFO and extraterrestrial issue we have ever read." It is the original paper and is in the first book, "Extraterrestrial Contact: The Evidence and Implications".

This aerospace scientist then asked me, "How do you know these things?" I said, well, that is a long discussion- so we had a long discus- sion!

In the winter of 1991, we decided to go to Belgium, where we had heard there were an enormous number of encounters with massive tri- angular shaped craft. As you know, in '89, '90, '91, outside of Brussels, thousands of people had seen huge triangular UFOs and they had been filmed, photographed and tracked on ra­dar.

Well, at that time I really didn't train people for this. In my innocence, I thought that everyone could just sit down the first time and enter cosmic conscious­ness, bilocate into space, vector them in and be ready when a ship showed up! I soon learned that much preparation was need- ed!

In the early days that is what we did. We just took a group of people over and we

did it. The 1^st group was me, my wife Emily and two others. We went out and we had the most extraordinary experiences. You can read about them in, "Extraterres­trial Contact: The Evidence and Implications". We ended up meeting some of the top people in Belgium who were working with the Belgium Air Force on this. We then went out to the areas where these huge craft had been seen.

One area was near Eupan, which is in eastern Belgium, near the German border. While at a farm, suddenly a string of lights appeared. It was in an area where one of the gendarme had seen a massive craft. But all we saw were what looked like a string of lights in a field. Of course, everyone said, "Those are just some lights on the farm." I knew they did- n't look like normal lights. We sat there and we watched an object sitting in the field and suddenly the lights vanished! The next day we went back and discovered that there were no street lights, no wires, nothing in that whole area where the lights had been! It had been a craft sitting there.

On another night we were near Henri-Chappelle, at the military cemetery on a ridge. It was a terrible night: raining; sleet mixed with rain. We stayed in the cars and did the CE-5 meditation and vectoring. All of a sudden we heard a deep rumbling vibration. Imagine something that felt like the size of the Empire State

Building, rumbling, humming like a transformer. It had a deep vibration. And sud­denly, as we looked up in the cloud -- the cloud cover was only a couple of hun­dred feet above the ridge or less- something that looked like a full moon dipped down, and moved underneath the clouds. Emily saw it first, actually. It was a cor­ner of one of these massive ships. Then it slipped back up. It just stayed there right on top of us, resonating, humming with a deep vibration. As this was occur­ring, I saw in my minds'-eye the occupants of the ship. The energy vibration that we were feeling was because they were completely checking us out and connect­ing with the vehicle and with us as a group and individually. It was very close; close enough that you could feel it.

In the course of this trip to Belgium, I learned that many of the peo- ple that had reported seeing these objects had had their stories sanitized by the mainstream UFO research groups. For example, I went back and met with some of the police who were in a small village where a massive ship the size of three football fields was hovering over a steeple. Part of their story was 'sanitized out' of the report so that they, "wouldn't lose credibility" The way it disappeared was not that it glided off and then zoomed out into space like a movie from Hollywood. This huge triangular ship, 800 feet long on each side, hovering above the town square, suddenly collapsed into a pulsing red ball of light the size of a basketball. It moved a little bit and then vanished straight out into space, in the blink of an eye!

Now, the reason I relate this is that many people will see an orb and they will think it is just an orb. But it could be an enormous half mile long craft that has changed energy forms, some would say dimensional shift, and appear as a ball of light. So having that experience taught me two things.

First of all, the extraterrestrial capabilities are extremely advanced. But also, what is in the UFO literature has been largely sanitized so the most salient aspects of the technology have been taken out- sometimes so that people won't be discred­ited because it is so unusual. But then, if it isn t very unusual, most of the time this means it is an "alien reproduction vehicle," that is being manufactured by Lockheed and Northrup!

People often ask, "How do you know the difference between a man- made UFO and an extraterrestrial vehicle?" It's very obvious if you are ever close up to one, be­cause the entire quality of it is different. The ones that are extraterrestrial are ex­tremely advanced, in the sense that they are "awake." The actual craft itself has artifi­cial intelligence and is conscious. The beings on board are connected into it and can connect to you consciously. And the kind of light it gives off is like nothing you have ever seen on Earth: It is extraordinary. It looks like it is not of this world- and has an energy and intelligence associated with it that is very advanced.

By 1991, I began to branch out and I appeared at a few conferences to present these concepts. My point was: These ET craft are here and they are under intelli­gent control, and these life forms are able to inter- act with us. If they know that there is a group of humans willing to do this for peaceful purposes rather than for military purposes, they will respond, if possible.

One of my great concerns is that the relationship between humans and extrater­restrials has been hijacked by a military-oriented group that are mismanaging the relationship. They are not conscious about what they were dealing with. There is nothing written anywhere that says we have to cede that relationship to a group of people who have arrogated it to themselves- and who are ruining the embryonic re­lationship between ET worlds and humanity. The relationship between humans and extra- terrestrials, has been totally neglected because there is no formal program that is open and honest dealing with it in the State Department or the United Na­tions or from any other peaceful group. So, it became clear to me that we should reach out to the ETs; if we don't, a vacuum will continue to exist into which others intent on doing harm will step.

Those approaching this issue from a purely military perspective or technologi­cal perspective can only do harm. To correct this dangerous situation is the pur­pose of CSETI and the CE-5 Initiative. We must create a peaceful rapprochement between humans and extraterrestrial beings and create a relationship that would redound to the benefit of all concerned - rather than to only a clandestine opera­tion that would benefit a handful of people trying to commandeer the technology for their own selfish purposes.

By 1992, we had found enough people interested in this that we start- ed doing some larger expeditions. In March of 1992, I went to the Pensacola area and taught about 50 participants this protocol.

The very first night I decided we should go to the state park beach. We were out there just a few minutes, and at around 8:30 p.m. an ET craft appeared. Ini­tially there were two ET craft, and then there were four of these UFOs, shaped like globes with an amber-red light in the center of the bottom of the craft. They appeared to simply manifest in the sky near us. We started making a big triangular shape in the sky with very powerful search lights. Suddenly, three of these UFOs made a perfect equilateral triangle in response.

Then I would signal to them twice and they would signal back twice. I would sig­nal once and they would signal once. But what was actually going on was that there was a conscious ET presence that was on the site. There was a non-visible and electronically projected consciousness of the occupants of these vehicles on site. A few other people sensed this and jumped in their vehicles and roared away! They were thinking, "Oh my God this is actually for real!" There were four sepa­rate cameras that filmed this, and there were also two former Air Force pilots who

saw it, one of whom was connected to a UFO organization as the Eastern Di­rector of Research. That organization would not let him write up this event and put it in their journal. It was sanitized out. This mass witnessed Close Encoun­ter of the Fifth Kind was filmed and witnessed by everyone. The next day it was reported in the local paper with photo- graphs of the UFOs. But then the UFO subculture itself (which traditionally has been controlled by the counter­intelligence 'spook depart- ment') sanitized all of the reporting out of the litera­ture. This was a real eye opener to me about what was going on in the so-called UFO community

But we also learned that humans could come together, decide to con- tact ETs, and have an event take place - all in the framework of peace and cosmic awareness.

The Offer

Once word of this CE-5 in Florida got out, it was a feeding frenzy A few weeks later I was invited to a conference, in Atlanta, that had a whole group of spooks (covert intel­ligence operatives) present. They had heard what had happened and wanted to learn the details. It was a quasi-pub- lie conference that was run by a group as a front opera­tion to gather intelligence for the covert programs dealing with UFOs. (This is not unusual.)

I arrived in time for the main banquet of the conference on Saturday night. They had put a place for me between the former head of Army Intelligence, General Т.Е. and Dr. Death, Col.MK who was head of the psychotronic and so-called non- lethal weapons systems programs. There were also NSA people and other intelli­gence operatives there. I knew something was fishy - there was also present a slip­pery shadowy- ops psychiatrist who was a side-kick of the general. And I'm think­ing, "Oh, brother, here we go into the snake pit." But I had nothing to hide. I am not doing this as a secret operation. I was certainly savvy enough to know who they were and why they were there and why I was there. At this point it was very clear. There were also present some people who were friends of the British royal family

The banquet speaker was General ТЕ., and after his talk he asked me, "Could we get together with you for a little while after this?" I said, "Sure." So they took me to a hotel room and it turned out it was packed with people who were connected to covert programs and black operations, corporate, military and intelligence- this hybrid MJ12 successor entity And quickly this little gathering became a barrage of questions - all directed at me. Again, I had nothing to hide, so I openly shared. It takes two to play a spook game and I felt I didn't need to. But they began to ask all kinds of questions.

At one point I remember someone saying "Just who the hell do you think you are, going out there, basically bypassing the national military command to do this?" They knew that we had discovered the Rosetta stone of extraterrestrial con­tact. So I said, "I am a denizen of Earth and I have every right to be doing this. Besides, my mother's family were some of the original founders of the United States- they fought in the American Revolution and were prisoners of war with the British. Beyond that my father was half Native American, his ancestors were here waiting for you Europeans to get here. So we have every right to be doing this!"

I finally said, "Look, I know who you folks are but I have had up close and personal contact with these extraterrestrial beings and their craft and their technology. You can't deceive me about what is going on. You can't fool me, number one. Number two, I am not rich but I am wealthy enough as a physician that I don't need your damn money, so you can't bribe me. And number three, when I was 17, by any medical definition, I was dead. I had an enlightenment experience, so I am not afraid of death, and you can't frighten me away! I am going to do this one way or the other. There is nothing you can do about it." And I remember the look from the General. It was: "We know exactly who this son of a bitch is." So here began the process of a covert group that was desperate to infiltrate us. What had been warned in 1990 had begun in earnest.

The next month, in May of 1992, I had agreed to help convene a conference at the St. Malos retreat outside of Rocky Mountain National Park with Astronaut Brian O'Leary and Maury Albertson (who was one of the co-founders of the Peace Corps) and the Institute for New Science. It was a private retreat and we invited every­one involved in the civilian UFO world. There were a number of other people who, of course, turned out to be intelligence operatives including General T.E. and his friend the psychiatrist.

I wanted to create a collegial environment where there could be a sharing of information and perspective. In reality I found out that the whole UFO civilian world was rife with paid disinformation hacks and warring factions that within two nanoseconds of arriving at this facility had pulled out their knives and hatchets and were sinking them into everyone's back -- including my own. That was when I learned what a snake pit the civilian UFO world really is.

During the course of this retreat, the General and the psychiatrist were trying to court me into joining their group. The General said, "You know, we have an organi­zation that deals with this that is very private..." -a loaded word meaning super- covert. I knew what he was saying. Then he said, "If you would just merge your op­eration with ours we will give you as much money and as much power and access to technologies as you could ever dream." And I said "Thanks, but no thanks. I don't need it. I thought I made that clear when we met in Atlanta last month." But he persisted in attempting to convince me- because they knew the kind of threat we could pose to their covert monopoly on the issue. They said as much.

A good friend of the NSA guy that was there and another CIA guy came to me and said, "You know, they are very jealous of what you are doing because they are in a black box and can only do certain things for certain purposes. You are a free agent and you can do more than they can!" I knew this. I explained, "We may not have temporal power but we are free - and have other powers that are God-given."

Eventually, the General went to Emily, my wife, without me present. He told her about this group- but he didn't call it MJ12. He said there was a board for this group. He said that this board had a certain number of seats on it. Interestingly, he said that the number was nine. Of course, he had done deep research into us and knew we were Baha'is and our holy number is nine. So, he said there are nine board members, each with his own shield- a certain crest- that would be given to me if I would simply take my organization and merge it with his. And Emily, being very sweet, said, "Oh, he seems so nice and he said all these wonderful flattering things about you!" I said, "Yes, dear, but can't you see what they are trying to do? Fi­nally I went to them and I said, "Look, let me be clear. I am fiercely independent and I am going to keep this a private, clean, operation with its intended purposes. There is no amount of cajoling and no amount of money or offers of power that will ever change that!" By the way, General T.E. has been involved with these covert projects since he was a very young man. I confirmed this through independent sources. He had been head of army intelligence before he "retired". But he was just telling people that he was retired. They never retire- until they end up in a coffin.

I met a military pilot who, in the 1960's, was in a special operation to pursue UFOs and film them. He told me that once a crew had such an encounter, they were split up and sent to various new posts- but that ALL the information went di­rectly to a guy he was convinced I had never heard of: General T.E.! When he told me this story I laughed and said "I know him well!"

After rejecting these advances by the general, within thirty days the entire inter­net had websites set up and messages being sent out to the public attacking me. They unleashed all the dogs within the UFO civilian community, within the press, everywhere. I was called everything from a cultist to a demonic communer with ex­traterrestrial sinister forces to a fraud. Then they released the lie that I wasn't a medi­cal doctor. Here I am at the hospital and they have put out there that I am not even licensed to practice medicine! I have to then release to the public my medi­cal license and degree to show that I am actually a medical doctor! The psychologi­cal warfare and harassment was intense- and continues to this day. For 14 years it has been a relentless string of attacks, character assassination, defamation of charac­ter, and every kind of dirty trick.

General T.E., told me a number of things. For example, he said there were extrater­restrial craft and facilities underneath the surface of Mars and that covert projects had imaged them. He also privately told me about all kinds of assets that covert programs had that were advanced technologies - up to the level of what the ETs had. I was able to gather quite a bit of good information through the courtship that was being attempted.

I learned that this particular 'cell' was interfacing with the civilian UFO world from the covert world -- they are an interface group and they have penetrated many civilian UFO projects. I knew then why that lawyer had told me in 1990 to be very independent, careful and very pub- lic. I had to be a lion at the gate to protect what we were doing from infiltration and from attempts to destroy it. There would be offers of enormous amounts of power and money, threats and attacks. I would have to be willing to be the kind of warrior that I had, in a sense, been trained to be through my childhood and early adult experiences.

CHAPTER 12

Gobsmacked!

In our research, we have observed that there is a pattern of extraterrestrial vehi­cles being seen over geo-physically unstable areas and volcanic areas such as in Costa Rica, Mexico, the ring of fire around the Pacific rim; and around facilities where there are many nuclear bases, weapons or power plants.

Extraterrestrial civilizations observing Earth know that we are a lot more fragile than most of us realize. We're the proverbial frog in the water that is being boiled slowly and we really don't quite know it until we are cooked.

ETs have been monitoring events very carefully, and there is a pattern of activities that suggest to me that they have concern about what we're doing to the environ­ment, and the instability that we may be creating. They are also concerned with nuclear material that could do a tremendous amount of damage to earth for thou­sands of years.

In '92, after we went through an initial period of experimenting and training groups, we learned that there were these strange things going on in England called "crop circles". There were reports from people like Colin Andrews- whom I got to know very well and became close friends with- that there were unusual aerial phenomenon and unusual craft being seen in fields, and videotaped. There are daytime videotapes of small, foot diameter disk-shaped objects moving through the fields, both before there would be one of these crop circles and also after.

In the summer of '92 we took a team of people over to England and decided to do the CE5 initiative there. By then, a lot of media had found out what happened when we were in Belgium and Gulf Breeze. By the time we got to England, it was

a media feeding frenzy.

This caused some difficulty because a lot of the places where we wanted to set up our contact effort were being totally overrun with curiosity seekers and the media.

I remember one time dashing through the countryside, trying to shake the cameras and media. It was like when Princess Di was being chased through the tunnel- we were speeding along trying to shake off a German TV crew who was fol­lowing us so they could stake us out and see where we were going to be that eve­ning.

In July of 1992 we went to a farm in Alton Barns, which was the epicenter of the most interesting crop circles. This was a large farm- over 1,000 acres, and we were given permission to use the property for this purpose.

We set up a number of experiments over the course of the week or ten days that we were there.

One of these was to go up on Woodborough Hill and as a group visualize a spe­cific shape of a crop circle. We began the meditative process: first expanding aware­ness, then connecting with the extraterrestrial people, and then asking them to cre­ate the specific shape that we were visualizing.

We didn't decide what that shape would be until the night we actually sat together on Woodborough Hill.

We decided that it should be what is now known as the CSETI triangle - an equi­lateral triangle with a circle at each apex.

As a group, we conveyed this precise shape into unbounded, universal Mind, and to the ETs. The next morning, the exact shape we were sending out was discov­ered in a field not far from where we were work- ing!

No one except this relatively small group of people doing this knew the design. In fact, we didn't even know that this crop circle had appeared until a couple of days later,when we came across Ralph Noyes who said, "Oh, we just learned from a farmer that the most perfect crop circle of the season has been found. It has the most anomalous bending of the crop and unusual phenomenon in it. And has appeared on this farmer's land!" The farmer had been out working in the field un­til very, very late the night before and went out very early, because it was a dry pe­riod, which is rare in that part of England. Nobody had been in the field, and it was hard to get to, being right at the base of Oliver's Castle (a steep cliff area sur­rounding the field). So I asked, "What shape is it?"

And Mr. Noyes said, "Well, I've drawn it in my book."

We bent down and looked at what Ralph Noyes had drawn: It was exactly the shape that we had projected the night of the experiment!

Immediately, Shari Adamiak, my main assistant, and a couple of other CSETI team

members dashed to this farm. We went up to Oliver's Castle, and looked down on the field, and it was as if the shape had been lifted from our minds and placed exactly in the field. We were stunned.

Later we learned that some of the tests that were done on the actual crop and soil indicated that there were electromagnetic anomalies and cell wall changes in the plants. The tests indicated that this was one of the most important crop circles of that season, from a scientific point of view.

Interestingly, a group of people who were there studying crop circles and had been funded by W B., the wealthy businessman (and some other people connected to covert programs) sanitized their report of this particular crop circle - and espe­cially of how it was conceived. Here was the same pattern: The so-called civilian UFO 'community', riddled with spooks, had sanitized the Gulf Breeze event in March of that year now had sanitized this one.

This was another indication of how tightly controlled the so-called "civilian UFO community" is and how thoroughly it is infiltrated.

One evening, while at the base of Woodborough Hill, we were doing our CE5 pro­tocol and inviting the extraterrestrial vehicles to come into that area. Suddenly, in the clouds above us, there appeared counter- clockwise spinning lights -- not com­ing from the earth shining up like a searchlight, but from above the clouds shining down. There were a whole series of circular lights that were going around counter­clockwise shin- ing down from above into the clouds.

Shortly after that, it suddenly started raining, very hard - but it was raining only on this very small area where we were doing our contact protocols.

It seemed as if the ETs had created an artificial weather event to allow a major con­tact to occur - but in the privacy of a rainy,foggy night. Eventually, it was rain­ing so hard that almost everyone left -- Colin Andrews, who had been in another area of the farm and a whole group of other people, left.

Four of us moved to a narrow concrete road that was on the farm, just wide enough for one vehicle behind another. There was a little pull- out on it where we decided to stay.

Through my intuition, I knew that the ET craft would come. I was clearly told, "We will be there later, later."

So I said, "Let's just stay here in our cars, and wait." It was after mid- night. We decided that we would stay in two separate vehicles, and do the protocols from there.

Then all of a sudden, I heard this banging on the window of the driver's side of the car, and it was Chris Mansell (the Englishman that was with us) from the car behind us. As I put the window down, he said, "There is a spacecraft rotating in the field and lit up like a bloody Christmas tree !"

And I said, "Yeah, yeah and I'm Santa Claus!"

I felt sure he was joking. He said, "No, look," and as I looked out the window I saw a ship, about 100 feet in diameter, disc-shaped with a coned top with lights. Around the edge of the disc were beautiful multi- colored lights-red, green, blue, yellow - that were going around counter- clockwise. The craft was spinning counter­clockwise, but the lights were going that direction as well as clockwise, fusing and blending into each other, in a beautiful, very unusual pattern.

These lights were like something not of this world. The intensity and the qual­ity of the light was unlike anything anyone had ever seen.

And it was so close. Initially it was a little higher above the field, but it came to within 10 feet above the ground - and in the same field where we were -- just a few hundred feet away.

We got out of the vehicle and went into contact and signaling mode. But the woman I was with was completely terrified. She came completely unhinged. I learned that, unfortunately, people really do need to be prepared for this kind of event!

Her anxiety was in part because we were close enough to this huge craft that the compass we had was rotating with the craft counter-clock- wise. The magnetic field was actually moving off magnetic north and moving around counter­clockwise!

The electromagnetic effects of this ET craft also caused our hair to be slightly elec­trified and standing on end. You could sense an unusual silence in the field and the presence of the consciousness of these beings who were on the craft. It was just as­tonishing!

At this point I said, "Well, let's signal to the craft with the search- lights." And as I signaled to the ship, it moved closer to us and signaled back. With that, this woman became quite hysterical, and screamed "Oh, my God, don't do that!"
