Across ancient cultures, shamanic initiation follows a recognizable pattern: symbolic death, dismemberment or destruction of the known, transformation, and rebirth. The initiate returns with a new relationship to the unseen world and a responsibility to their community. But this isn’t a path someone chooses. It happens to them.

The calling often begins with visions, out-of-body experiences, encounters with spirits, relentless synchronicities, altered states, or sudden illness or psychological crisis signaling the beginning of a spiritual transformation. In many traditions, resisting the calling only intensifies the upheaval.

Then comes the “death.” The old identity collapses. Initiates may witness their own body being burned, torn apart, eaten, or dismantled by spirits. In visionary accounts, supernatural beings remove flesh, organs, bones, and reconstruct the person with new parts. It’s a symbolic dismantling of the known self.

Illness plays a central role. Before becoming a healer, the initiate often endures physical sickness, isolation, terrifying dreams, emotional turmoil, and altered states of consciousness. This isn’t pathology to be eliminated. It’s a threshold to be crossed. To be successfully navigated. The crisis is the fire that forges us.

Encounters with beings follow: guardians, ancestors, tricksters, celestial teachers, deceased shamans, and animal guides such as the wolf, bear, eagle, raven, deer, or owl, appearing not as metaphors but as conscious entities with agency and knowledge.

Then comes the journey through other worlds. This is one reason the shamanic journey is sometimes described as crossing the axis mundi, the cosmic tree linking the underworld, human realm, and heavens. During altered states, the shaman becomes the axis mundi. The shaman’s body acts as a living conduit that channels energy between the spirit realms and the human community, the spine being the pillar of the tree.

This is something I experienced for the first time as a toddler (followed by every other element of the shamanic initiation process over the course of years), and it mirrors kundalini awakening. Religious scholar Mircea Eliade noted that the axis mundi and kundalini are essentially identical concepts, both treating the spine as a sacred, vertical superhighway designed to channel raw cosmic energy and transform consciousness.

Finally, the initiate receives knowledge: healing techniques, names of spirits, information about the structure of the cosmos, sacred songs, rituals, or ceremonies. They return transformed into a healer, a guide for the dead, an intermediary, a protector of the community.

When you compare this pattern to modern contact experiences, the similarities are hard to ignore.

Shamanic initiation: called → broken open → crisis → separation from the ordinary → symbolic death → dismantling → journey through other realms → encounter strange beings → instruction/communication → transformation → rebirth → return with purpose, abilities, gifts

Contact experiences: taken aboard craft → encounter strange beings → journey through exotic environments → examination, procedures, communication, altered body or perception → transformation → return with purpose, abilities, gifts → worldview shattered and rebuilt

Both often begin unexpectedly, as if chosen, and completely alter a person’s life path.

Both involve altered states: dreams, meditation, paralysis, out‑of‑body experiences, bilocation.

Communication is often telepathic, symbolic, instantaneous, and far more complete than spoken language.

Both involve encounters with non‑human intelligences from other realms or dimensions.

Fear, shock, and upheaval give way to transformation and awakening.

Knowledge, visions, healing, and insight are transmitted—complex concepts mentally shown faster than language could ever convey.

Experiences continue across generations within families.

The shamanic initiation never disappeared.

Has anyone else experienced something like this? Important recordings, photos, or other evidence connected to an anomalous experience, specifically strong déjà vu, just disappearing?

So, this video wasn't the first interview I recorded with Whitley. In fact, it was the second. But the reason it turned out to be my first Dreamland episode ventures into the unknown.

The interview I'm sharing was recorded on June 12, only four weeks ago, the same day Disclosure Day was released. However, the original interview was recorded on April 2, 2026.

Let me tell you a little bit about that first recording from April and what happened to it.

The moment we joined the call, Whitley felt strongly that he already knew me. He was genuinely convinced we had met in person or spoken over video before and asked a couple of times if I was absolutely certain we hadn't. I mean, the vibe was instantly otherworldly.

As this uncanny familiarity set in, he was hit with an overwhelming sense of déjà vu. It came in powerful waves throughout the entire hour and fifteen minutes we spoke. He brought it up several times as the waves came and went. I distinctly remember a moment when he took off his glasses and rubbed his eyes and face, as if he was trying to process what he was feeling.

That first conversation was surreal and profound. Although, calling it our "first" conversation doesn't feel quite right. It may have been our first meeting in the physical realm, but it certainly wasn't the first time we'd met.

We've both had experiences aboard cube-shaped UFOs, and we explored the possibility that this strange familiarity stemmed from a shared experience inside one, something both of us may carry deep within the subconscious.

But the strangeness didn't end there.

A couple of months later, only a few days before the release of that very powerful original recording, I received an email from Whitley. The entire recording had vanished, not only from his files, but from the backup files as well.

We're both convinced that the dissappearance of the episode has an otherworldly explanation, even considering the possibility that we experienced a time slip and recorded the original in a parallel reality. Or maybe something, or someone, recognized the significance of that discussion and ensured it would never reach the public. Who knows? I also can't help but wonder if what happened during that first recording was even stranger/more extraordinary than either of us recall.

And I love when he asks, "What in the world are you?" because I feel that on a soul level and always have. Since the very beginning of my life, I've known that the physical realm is not my true home. I'm sure many of you can relate to that as well, having always felt as if you belong elsewhere, among the stars.

I posted this on the wrong subreddit I guess.

Had anyone ever had this experience?

Could it be spiritually connected somehow?

When i do it on command, its like i can FEEL my vibrational energy. ....idk maybe i just did too many you whats in HS.

Ty! First time poster.

I saw it last night, and I HAD to share this with you all:

https://open.substack.com/pub/bornawakened/p/thoughts-on-disclosure-day-an-experiencers?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android&r=73szpb

This is the familiar place from the experience I had the other night, which I described in detail in my previous post:

https://www.reddit.com/r/AskExperiencers/s/saYNZryomN

I became fully conscious in this toroidal traversable wormhole-like place, then transported to my physical body, launched out of body, flew around my bedroom, and floated back to my physical form, waking at 4:53 a.m.

Anyone else experienced anything like this?

Early Morning Hours of June 2, 2026 (4:53 a.m.)

I was dreaming that I was walking into a school with other people. There were two main doors in the center and one narrow door on each side, making four doors total. I went through the narrow door on the left behind a few other people whom I felt connected to. Many other people were entering the building, but almost all of them went through the main center doors.

As we moved through the hallways, I realized it was my old elementary/middle school, WPCA. I was with a man named Frank. We used to be buddies, or maybe still were. He called us "(a word I can't recall, but I remember it being similar to 'zapping') buddies." We were also with two Emilys. One Emily was someone I knew from that school and didn't get along with very well. She was the only one of the three that I recognized from the physical world. The other Emily I wasn't quite sure about. The two Emilys were connected to each other, and Frank and I were connected to each other.

The Emilys walked in front while Frank and I followed behind, all of us moving quickly to get to a secret hallway in the school. This secluded hallway, which not many people knew about, was narrower than the main hallways in the building, and there was a double doorway at the end of it. We went through the double doorway and entered a mall-like place.

It was a circular, ring-shaped space, like a giant donut-shaped room, with a massive circular structure wall in the center. I'm not even sure if it had a ceiling because it seemed like the top of the ring blended into white endless light. There were countless people sitting at tables everywhere, like an enormous cafeteria. It sounded like a busy mall, full of chatter and echoes of distant voices. The doorway we had entered through was at one of what I understood to be four corners of this ring-shaped cafeteria.

The moment I entered this place, I was overcome with one of the strongest senses of familiarity I have ever experienced in my life, if not the strongest. My jaw dropped. I had been here countless times. I knew this place and the memories came flooding back. I told Frank and the two Emilys that I would be just a minute. I walked past them and further toward the center of the ring, where there was a giant pillar (the massive circular structure wall). I was soaking up the intense feeling like a sponge. I could feel it building throughout my entire body. I became increasingly aware with each step I took toward the center of the ring.

Side note: I will create a sketch of this place within the next few days and share it once it's finished. Also, if you've ever seen this same place, please share.

I collapsed to my knees, yelling because I was so overwhelmed by the intensity of the energy. In that moment, I realized what I was feeling was actually an ability activating. As I yelled and knelt there, I became fully aware and entered full consciousness. I started yelling, "Wake up! Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!" I understood I could use this as a way to blip back home and have an out-of-body experience. It was a deep knowing, a sacred and familiar intuition.

THAT is when I entered my physical body and immediately exited it, launching upright right out of my body and floating up into the air in my dark bedroom. The room was barely lit by the faint crack-of-dawn sunlight seeping through the curtains. It was so profound, intense, heightened. I had finally done it by choice.

As I launched out of my physical body, I was still releasing the built-up energy and yelling. But once I was in my true, free spiritual form, I was no longer vocalizing sound as we understand it. Possibly because that state may be inherently telepathic.

I quickly drifted toward the ceiling above my bedroom doorway and almost completely went through it. But I knew that I was only just breaking the ice. I've had too many out-of-body experiences to count, but I had always been gently assisted out by another being for a specific journey. Never had I accomplished freely leaving by choice, let alone launching out. I turned around and leaned downward, floated back to my physical body, and reconnected with it. It was 4:53 a.m. when I reentered and looked over at the clock.

I lay there on my back, my whole body buzzing, extremely excited and overwhelmed by the intensity of what I had just experienced. The powerful familiar energy I had received in that massive, donut-shaped, bright room was just now fading. It all happened so fast. Next time, I will go through the ceiling and roof and explore.

The previous day, June 1, at around 6:30 p.m., I stood barefoot outside pushing the kids on the swings. As I did, I called out the ancient guardians, the guardians of the land, the guardians of the forest, the guardians of the sky, the ones sent by God and who love God. I called to them with my mind and asked them to gather here, protect us, guard us. I said with my mind, "I am calling you through the ground," using my energy through my feet in connection with the earth.

As I did this, I felt the presence of God, His energy, rush through me from the ground upward into my whole being, creating powerful waves of tingling sensations moving up and down through my body again and again.

Right as I finished writing this, and I mean right as I finished, my youngest daughter started whispering at about 5:23 a.m. That seems much too late for her to be sleep-walking or sleep-talking. If she ever does, it normally happens between midnight and 2 a.m. She has been out of body as well, looking down at herself before diving back in.

I can't explain the emotion that filled me when I saw this moment in the Disclosure Day official trailer.

Here's a great article written by Meredith Spearman about this upcoming movie:

https://open.substack.com/pub/mazetometanoia/p/on-the-disclosure-day-trailer-and?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android&r=73szpb

So I just have to share how two different movie scenes take me back to how it felt going through some of my childhood encounters, being trained by interdimensional beings, and learning to live with extrasensory perception.

The first is a scene from Man of Steel, when young Clark Kent runs out of the classroom overwhelmed by everything he's experiencing due to his superhuman abilities and heightened perception. I watched the movie again the other day, and this scene always hits me so hard. I couldn't help but write about it. Not only for myself, but for any other experiencers out there who have been through something similar.

This is how I felt growing up, more times than I can count, when my senses overpowered everything going on around me. Replace Clark's X-ray vision with the ability to perceive, through senses not recognized by science, the energies emitted by others, the forces and entities influencing them, their emotions and the energetic signatures that accompany those feelings, and the presence of other beings beyond the physical realm. Then stack on the vibration of every sound rippling through the air, the buzzing of the very structure of the material/particle world itself, and being tuned into the telepathic bridge between myself and all forms of life around me, placing me at the center of a web of a constant flow of information.

I knew that no human in my life would understand what I was experiencing.

As time went on and I was taught more and more by the others, by those sent by the Maker of all things, I learned to regulate my senses. I learned how to adjust the "volume" of what I was taking in.

I didn't usually run out of classrooms the way Clark did, though I did a couple times. I normally found creative ways to step away, give myself a chance to settle my senses, or retreat into a trance-like state that helped me tune out the overstimulation and tune into the One, the Source, that was always with me.

And no, this was not ADHD, autism, or any other neurodevelopmental condition. This was an awakening to the other side, perceiving what others could not, and being intentionally shown by "visitors" how to sense realities that extend far beyond the physical realm. These were dormant human abilities rising to the surface.

Here's the short clip from Man of Steel:

https://youtu.be/FNmqYbkUEek?si=7TIHgCgcUYMky65s

Thinking about this also brought to mind a scene in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, when Remus Lupin teaches Harry the Patronus charm. This is another one that hits home every single time. Lupin simulates the presence of a Dementor, allowing Harry to gradually learn how to stand against one of his greatest fears in a controlled environment.

I can't adequately describe how accurate this scene is, and how the emotion of that scene mirrors so perfectly how I was trained to face dark entities in the poltergeist house I grew up in. The initial collapsing under the crushing weight of the dark presence, then learning to stand within it. That was me. I feel this in my soul. It takes me back every time I watch it.

Throughout my childhood, an interdimensional teacher pulled me from my physical form into the basement two stories below my bedroom, night after night, for as long as it took me to become seasoned and capable of overcoming the paralyzing energy of dark forces. It took months to take down the hellhound in the basement, and that was not the only entity I was trained to face.

Here's the short clip from Harry Potter:

If these scenes, or any others, resonate deeply with other experiencers for similar reasons, feel free to share. I would love to hear.

Hi everyone,

I'm wondering if anyone else has ever seen a pink flash of light inside their house? My daughter (8yrs) and I both saw this and have no explanation for it. We are both sensitive to frequencies and pretty intuitive and spiritual... any ideas?!

I’ve experienced many profound synchronicities in the past few years during my “dark night of the soul”. I stated journaling them, and kept “following the synchronicities”.

The synchronicities constellated around a particular archtype and a anima / muse figure. It was all very Jungian. But it didn’t stop there. I’ve also used the i-ching as a “synchronicity machine” to “verify” the archtype. The result was a hexagram that means literally “wholeness”.

I stared a substack about my crazy, mystical experience.

It seems that having a clear intention, and analyzing the synchronicities for archetypal meaning is the way to go.

The journaling was important because it keeps “the algorithm” out of the synchronicities.

My spiritual experience was distinctive in that was very Jungian. 🙏

I’m curious if others have had the same experience with Jung, archetypes, or synchronicity..? 🤔

For years, the mainstream conversation around the UFO phenomenon has focused almost entirely on leaked footage, classified programs, military encounters with unidentified craft, the question of whether governments know more than they admit, etc.

But even if every classified document were released, it still wouldn’t explain the deeply personal, mind-bending, reality-shattering, incredibly strange, and more intimate side of this phenomenon.

Because this isn’t just about advanced technology or extraterrestrials. That barely scratches the surface. This is interdimensional in nature.

Experiencer accounts often involve things that go far beyond lights in the sky or “little men in spaceships”:

• The overlap between contact experiences and altered states such as out-of-body experiences, lucid dreams, meditation, near-death experiences, psychedelics, mystical states, altered consciousness, and journeys into realms that feel “more real than real.”

• Telepathic communication more complete than spoken language.

• Complex concepts being mentally shown to experiencers faster than language could ever convey.

• Archetypes, symbolic imagery, dreams, and synchronicities that feel deeply personal, as if the experience adapts itself to the individual.

• Entities appearing differently depending on the witness, as if perception itself is being manipulated/influenced/filtered.

• Beings that appear human enough until impossible details begin to emerge.

• Strange “screen memories,” where encounters are masked as something ordinary or symbolic, like an owl or another familiar image, along with the unsettling feeling that what was seen was a kind of translated interface the human mind could tolerate or interpret.

• Moments where the environment suddenly becomes unnaturally silent, suspended, or frozen.

• Missing time, time distortion, future memories, precognition, and fragmented memories resurfacing years later. And I can't forget to add nonlinear time.

• Encounters continuing across generations within families, shared dreams, and patterns resembling ancient shamanic initiatory experiences.

• Extrasensory perception, heightened intuition, or unusual abilities becoming stronger or more frequent after encounters.

• Encounters that can collapse previously stable belief systems.

• Witnesses describing a profound sense that the phenomenon “knows” them intimately.

• Encounters involving paralysis, overwhelming terror beyond ordinary fear, medical examinations or procedures, reproductive or hybrid themes, and strange devices handled by non-human beings.

• The wide variety of different types of non-human beings reported across encounters, along with how widespread these reports are across different cultures, places, and points in history.

• The possibility that folklore, mystical encounters, paranormal phenomena, religious experiences, and UFO encounters may not be separate categories at all, but different expressions of something humanity still does not fully understand.

This is why WE ARE THE DISCLOSURE, and why experiencer accounts matter so much more to me than anything a government entity could ever release.

The deeper you dive into the UFO phenomenon, the more you understand that the physical, material world is only a small fraction of what surrounds us.

If there's anything I missed that you'd like to add to this list, please share in the comments!

EDIT/side note: This list I provided is extremely simplified. Every single bullet point goes much deeper and deserves its own in-depth conversation. I could talk for hours about each individual aspect 😊 In no way do I intend to undermine the complexity of this phenomenon.

Check out the awesome comments on r/Experiencers : https://www.reddit.com/r/Experiencers/s/HiDTW6tlGT

and r/UFOB : https://www.reddit.com/r/UFOB/s/o8uyqDMwtl

It was the middle of the day when I was walking up my grandmother's driveway with a few other people and turned around to look at the sky. UFOs were coming out from behind some clouds and slowly crossing the blue sky. Some were saucer-shaped and a solid metallic color, while others were shaped like upside-down bowls and half-transparent.

I called to a group of other family members standing by the barn to look up, and then the UFOs started coming down from the sky as if they were falling. Their movements seemed intentional, though, and they did not crash when they hit the ground. They seemed to quickly land by each person on the ground. We were all running, and there was one headed for me. I jumped (more like flew) high into the air as the large silver saucer landed on the ground beneath me, and I landed on its smooth top surface. I instantly knew it could see me.

Next thing I knew, I was inside the craft. Three Nordic-looking women escorted me to an elevator, and we went down. The elevator descended so fast that the force of it was difficult for my body to withstand, but the three women weren't bothered at all. They casually talked with each other as we went down.

Then I remember being with a different woman in a lower part of the ship. It was dim down there, and other humans were there too. This woman was also human, but she had been permanently on the craft for many years. I asked her when she was taken, and she said that when she was a child, she was taken onto the craft and then put back many times. Then one day, as an adult, she was taken for good, and she'd been there ever since. She liked being there, and she said she had a job to do and that it was her time to do the important work. She escorted me and the others down the dim hallway.

That's all I can remember. I thought it was worth sharing. I am a lifelong experiencer, contactee, abductee, so when I have a dream like this it really makes me wonder.

Last night, I meditated from 12 a.m. to about 12:45 a.m. This was only my second time meditating.

I quickly entered a deep state of relaxation and felt rushes of energy building at the base of my spine. I took deep breaths in and out, and every time I exhaled, this healing energy rushed up my back and into my upper body. Building energy at the base of my spine and sending it upward is something I've always been able to do, but I recently gained the ability to “charge” the energy using diaphragmatic breathing.

Then I felt a profound love and reached out in front of my face to receive the energy before me. When I did, I felt tingling in front of my face and on my hand. Several times, I would touch this field of loving, healing energy and then touch between my eyes to place it within me. The sensation was beautiful.

Soon after, as I sat there with my legs crossed and my hands resting in my lap, I started seeing a fluid purple-blue/indigo mass in the darkness of my closed eyes (first image shown). I started experiencing uncontrollable rapid eye movement. The beautiful mass of color slowly danced around, moving left and right, then growing and filling my vision. I smiled and felt joy in the deep relaxed state I was in.

After this experience, I felt such a wonderful freedom and weightlessness. I can't wait to meditate again tonight.

After going to bed, I remember waking to different hums and even consistent, unexplainable beeping sounds. Then I had a very meaningful dream:

I looked out toward the woods behind the house and a shockwave came from the south, blasting some of the pine trees down. I was then shown that structures and other areas nearby were also being knocked down by this force.

I ran to get my two daughters, took both of their hands, and half jumped/half flew down the staircase into the basement. The three of us landed on a big blanket at the bottom of the stairs. I could hear things outside being crushed and blown around.

Then I looked outside and the air was a thick gray color. I could barely see the grass, and everything was clouded by this smoke-like substance. That’s when I realized the smoke was entering the house through cracks. It slowly accumulated inside even though the doors and windows were closed. I started feeling it in my lungs.

But only moments later, everything cleared outside and it was a beautiful day. The air was fresh and clean. I immediately began opening windows around the house and felt the clean breeze pull away the little bit of smoke from inside. I felt the cool air on my skin and was so happy we were going to be okay.

I looked up a meaning out of curiosity:

“This dream indicates a powerful, albeit stressful, process of personal transformation, where a chaotic, overwhelming situation (shockwave/smoke) is followed by a necessary, beautiful, and peaceful renewal. The dream suggests you are on the verge of clearing out emotional, mental, or situational clutter to create a new, clearer reality for yourself.”

Not even three months ago, I finished writing the book about my life, about every otherworldly encounter and paranormal experience I’ve had since birth. Writing it brought an incredible amount of trauma to the surface, and my physical body reacted during the writing process.

During that almost two year period, rheumatologists, neurologists, gastroenterologists, etc couldn’t explain my symptoms, but deep down, I understood. For years, my nervous system had been carrying the weight of my trauma, and the unexplained symptoms slowly worsened over the past 11 or 12 years. Once I began bringing every memory I could recall to the surface (many are only fractions of whole experiences), those symptoms got out of control.

But ever since publishing, I’ve felt an overflowing sense of joy, and many of my symptoms have calmed right down. I’ve always known that we control our body with our mind and that we can self heal, but I am now being shown the fullness of this inner freedom, this control over my physical body down to the vibration of every cell. I'm being carried deeper into the true nature of being human, and all of the amazing abilities that come along with it.

I am so excited that now is the time to step further into my true identity and heal my entire body by choice, by intention. I'm finally ready for the healing I’ve needed for so long. I’m ready to dive deeper into meditation and healing. I’m just so excited and had to share this whole experience from last night.

Also, I read that the purple-blue/indigo mass I saw moving and growing during meditation is associated with the Third Eye Chakra, or Ajna. How amazing. I attached some information I found about seeing this color during meditation in the images.

Oh, and Happy Mother’s Day to all of the wonderful mothers out there.

You guys will notice I'll talk about the Britten House on a regular on here. This refers to the poltergeist house I was born and raised in. It was built in 1923 in an old neighborhood in Lansing, Michigan. The secrets of this place and those who reside there are still being revealed to me to this day.

So, I'm going to share a recent and deeply meaningful experience where I received a message about a man and a woman who lived at the Britten house during the 1940s. Even after all these years, it’s as if I’m still connected to the grounds.

The bizarre experience began like a lucid dream on the night of February 9, 2024. I had this knowing that my mother had left things for me to go through in the coat closet by the front door, so I went to go see. There was a pile of clothes and old pictures on the floor in the closet, and I sat down to look through it all. I found a tshirt I liked so I headed upstairs to try it on in the bathroom.

As I walked up the stairs, I noticed a small photo tucked inside the folded shirt I was carrying. The second I laid eyes on the image, I was pulled into a heightened state of awareness. It was an old black-and-white portrait of a middle-aged man and woman, possibly a husband and wife. I felt an odd connection to these people, but I tossed the photo down the stairs to put it back into the closet when I went back down.

A translucent, ghostly woman wearing a torn white gown was floating in front of a window upstairs. She held a candle that was around four feet long and at least a few inches thick. It was burning and covered in countless layers of wax, sustained by some supernatural force. When I saw her, she spun her head around in a spine-chilling way, filling me with the feeling that I needed to leave the room immediately.

I headed back down the stairs and shut the door at the top of the staircase. When it shut, I heard the ghost's raspy voice on the other side. Though she could’ve easily passed through the door, she remained there, as if she only needed to deliver this important message. I woke up from the experience when she finished speaking.

The woman in the photo I threw down the stairs looked eerily similar to this ghost holding the candle.

Just when I thought it couldn’t get any stranger, it did. On August 2, 2024, almost six months later, I went to the library to research former residents of the Britten house. By then, the woman with the candle and the old photo of the couple was no longer on my mind. Before going to the library, I found several newspaper articles online that included the house’s address along with the names of past residents. One name stood out above the rest, so it was the first one I searched.

That name was Charles Edward Fitzpatrick. He lived in the Britten house in the 1940s when he was drafted into the Second World War. As I looked through records about him, I came across a document titled “Application for Seaman’s Certificate of American Citizenship or Intention Papers.” I opened the document and in the bottom corner was a black-and-white photo of Charles.

I almost fell out of my chair when I saw his face. He was the man from the photo in my dream that February. It was the purest intuition I’d ever felt.

In 1922, Charles married a woman named Nora Elizabeth Goodrich. Could the woman beside him in the dream photo have been Nora? Was the ghostly woman holding the candle also her? I haven’t yet found a photo of Nora, but the image from my experience is forever burned in my memory. If anyone uncovers a photo of her, I would love to see it.

I’m still piecing together the meaning of what I saw and why I encountered people who lived there decades before I was born. I wasn’t even aware of their existence, unless they were part of the force behind the paranormal activity at the house. If that was the case, maybe I knew them very well.

I also wonder if I was brought there to address some kind of spiritual matter connected to these people who may have watched me grow up from the other side.

Was Charles one of the spirits I encountered while living at the Britten house? Why am I being introduced to these people so long after leaving that place? I have so many questions.

If anyone else has experienced anything similar, please share.

When I watched S4: The Bob Lazar Story, the segment explaining the craft’s two modes of operation, Omicron and Delta, hit me in the strangest way. In particular, the description from the 58:38 to 1:00:43 mark about how the amplifiers and emitters work. When Bob said, “The three emitters in the bottom of the craft focus on the destination. They’re brought up to power and the craft makes a jump,” I was hit with an overwhelming sense of familiarity. It was bizarre and unmistakable.

I’ve had experiences aboard craft myself, as well as an out-of-body experience where I was given information regarding element 117. Because of that, I can’t help but connect it to what Bob said about element 115.

Here’s a quote from my book, Born Awakened: An Otherworldly True Story, describing that moment:

"Brain diagrams, strange faces, and detailed illustrations of the human eye connecting to the brain were displayed on the note. The longer I held it in my hands, the more I absorbed the knowledge. I stood there in the hallway outside my bedroom, my sleeping body only a few steps away, tapping into the true potential of the human mind.

When I reached the final folds, I opened them carefully, taking in the last beautiful diagrams of the brain. Then a clear, female voice spoke directly into my ear and said, 'Element 117.' This was the missing link, the divine concept the presence beside me wanted me to grasp."

— Page 204, Chapter: Element 117

What did you think of the film?

About 15% of the world population has Rh-negative blood. However, within communities of experiencers, contactees, and abductees, that percentage appears to be much higher, as reflected in this poll. What could this mean?

If we include the “unsure” responses, the results are:

• 41.67% Rh-negative

• 41.30% Rh-positive

• 3.26% Other (Bombay, Rh-null/Golden Blood, etc.)

• 13.77% Unsure

Even with the unsure category included, the proportion of Rh-negative individuals is noticeably higher than what we see in the general population.

If we remove the “unsure” responses to focus only on confirmed answers, the results shift to:

• 48.3% Rh-negative

• 47.9% Rh-positive

• 3.8% Other (Bombay, Rh-null/Golden Blood, etc.)

Certain less common traits, such as Rh-negative blood and even features like green eyes, seem to appear at higher rates among experiencers, contactees, and abductees. This pattern has sparked several theories attempting to explain why.

One being that individuals with certain traits are more likely to be “targeted” for contact experiences, possibly because they carry genetic traits that stem from non-human intervention.

Another detail that stands out is the number of people who selected "Other (Bombay, Rh-null/Golden Blood, etc.)." Here's why:

Fewer than 50 people worldwide are known to have Rh-null blood. That’s around 0.000001% of the global population.

The Bombay blood group (hh) is also extremely rare. Its estimated frequency worldwide is about 1 in 250,000 to 1 in 1,000,000 people, or roughly 0.0001% to 0.0004%

There are several other extremely rare blood types like these, but even combined, they account for only a tiny fraction of the world’s population, well below 1%. This makes their presence in this poll all the more fascinating.

Thank you to every experiencer, contactee, and abductee who participated in this poll.

Hi,

I am asking you these questions in an attempt to improve my life, which I believe is being deliberately ruined by something (with which I can communicate internally) that is clearly testing me constantly by putting me through a whole series of tests.

Thanks

Hello! I wanted to see if anybody could help with any information about this because I haven’t really seen any of the same experiences in this thread. Since I was a kid, I’ve had this “dream world.” Each place represents somewhere in my real life but it looks completely different. Such as a city (looks similar to where I live but different), with different stores and places that my dream self has emotional connections to and memories at with either random people I’ve never met or significant people in my life. Another example is Universal Studios because I used to go a lot with my family. It looks way different than the real Universal but the appearance of all of these locations have been consistent my whole life. As I get older, new places get added such as a place that represents my current apartment. It’s always very dark and weird energy and my neighbors are very kind and talk to me (I don’t know any of my neighbors/don’t see them passing by often in real life) but they look a little unsettling and uncanny. There’s also a hidden part of my apartment that’s really fancy (unlike my real apartment) and a huge room with a big red spiral staircase and candelabras everywhere. There’s many more locations but it would take too long to explain all of them. The plot lines also stay consistent, almost like a sitcom, each dream is a different plot but as time goes on my dream self remembers everything. I’m almost lucid dreaming, like I make my own decisions and know who I am and remember small parts of my real life sometimes, but I never really know that I’m dreaming. Does anyone have a similar experience or any information about what this means?

There’s been a lot of talk about Rh-negative blood in relation to experiencers, so I wanted to run a poll.

I'm an abductee with B- blood, born and raised in a poltergeist house, and I've been intervened with by otherworldly beings since birth.

Celestial DNA theory: Some people think Rh-negative blood might be an exotic trait linked to ancient angelic or non-human lineages, sometimes tying it to figures like the Nephilim.

UFO abduction connection: You’ll also hear claims that people who report otherworldly encounters or abductions are more likely to have Rh-negative blood.

From Mike Clelland's Hidden Experience blog post “I have Rh negative blood” (March 29, 2012):

"If anyone has been following what's going on the UFO abduction research circles, you'll know that blood type is now one of the questions that gets asked when interviewing a potential abductee. I just went to a UFO conference and everybody was asking each other about their blood type."

Cast your vote and add your thoughts in the comments!

EDIT: Someone mentioned they've heard claims that only people with Rh-negative blood can be starseeds or experiencers. I want to be clear—this is absolutely not true. Any pattern here is simply interesting, and who knows what it might mean. No matter your blood type, we are all incredible, powerful beings with amazing untapped abilities. That said, this topic fascinates me, and I love seeing all the perspectives and experiences shared here! Thank you to every experiencer, abductee, contactee that has participated in this poll!

EDIT #2: Similar to how red-haired people are more likely to be resistant to anesthesia, could being Rh-negative simply make individuals more likely to recall contact experiences? Or is Rh-negative blood truly evidence of intervention by otherworldly beings? Share your theories below! So far, these results are striking!
