People want to see angels and these Beings in their [human] reality. And that’s a mistake. You have to go into their reality to see them. You have to expand your consciousness and live in their dimension in order to have the experience. That’s the truth. In order to sustain that information on that frequency—that level of Creation—you need to change your consciousness and expand your perceptual reality.

The ancient rishis, the seers of Universal Truth, directly and fully realized atman, or their own true nature, to be boundless awareness. This ultimate realization at the root of all civilizations is not possible through faith, through reasoning, or through scientific investigation. Conventional religion is limited by cultural conditioning. Philosophy is limited to what can be apprehended by the rational mind. Science is limited to the information provided by the senses or by instruments that extend the senses but remain on the material plane. Supreme Reality simply cannot be approached by the ordinary intelligence, which is focused through cultural norms, reason, and sense experience.

As Joy watched the waterfall cascade over the cliffs, she keenly felt her own link with the Earth. When asked about her feelings under hypnosis by Dr. Butler, Joy responded, “I was being reminded that the Earth is a living organism. The Earth is as much a part of me, as I am a part of her. Her life force sustains all life forms here.” This distinct pattern exists throughout many such reports. Just like Joy’s, other reports include projection rooms where scenes on a screen are viewed. Thus an empathetic connection with Earth’s environment is established. In fact, research studies about the effects of UFO-encounters, as well as near-death experiences (NDEs) show a significantly increased concern with ecology and the welfare of the planet.18 It is not unlikely that our survival as a species requires such positive reinforcement.

Joy stood with the doctor looking down at her husband, Mark, as he lay sleeping in bed. It seemed as if the doctor wanted her to take note of these moments, to impress them upon her memory. Joy especially took note of the fact that “there was nothing but emptiness where I had previously lain waiting to fall asleep.” We have thus arrived at the part of the narrative that effectively rules out the possibility that Joy Gilbert was experiencing an out-of-body event. We also note a setting that encompasses both her sleeping husband and a so-called alien being. Certainly such a re-entry process holds great potential for impressing upon a human the reality of the encounter. Given the confusion and doubt that Joy will subsequently feel, these last scenes were seemingly meant to evoke reassurance.

These alleged events certainly run counter to the known laws of physics. As such, they are often viewed as insupportable, unbelievable, not to mention—perverse. When it comes to UFOs and aliens, the sanity and reputation of experiencers are routinely called into question. Given the challenging nature of these events, experiencers are routinely publicly accused of being prone to hallucination. That is, of being grossly mistaken regarding the nature of their own experience . . . or of being so gullible that they were brainwashed by therapists. They are also routinely accused of being liars. Professional skeptic and debunker Phillip Klass is well known for his denunciation of abductees as “little nobodies.” Klass claims that those he has met are just “people seeking celebrity status.” Nothing could be farther from the truth. In fact, many witnesses to anomalous phenomena would much rather keep quiet than face the barrage of ridicule from the skeptics. Thankfully, our purpose is not to convince those such as Klass who would not be swayed if a space alien jumped up and bit them on the nose. Rather, we hope to create an opening for people to gain another perspective.

Neuropsychologist Dr. Michael Persinger appeared on television with a subject in a helmet whose brainwaves he had stimulated. The subject reported going through a “tunnel.” Dr. Persinger thereby attempted to artificially induce a near-death experience. Hayley’s response: “You’d have to be familiar with the research to know what they’ve left out.” She believes they’re trying to explain everything away. “Someone’s scared to death.” Factions are fighting it, linking it to brain malfunction. People are being “duped, controlled and manipulated.” Hayley spoke of the necessity of breaking through the brainwashing of church and state. There’s a brick wall in society—TV, jobs, drugs, media—that keeps people maintained. “Keep‘em dumb.” She’s suspicious. Some intelligence is behind this (whether human or not, Hayley doesn’t know).

According to social science research, if Hayley truly believed she had experienced a close encounter, such a shift in values would be highly likely. Concern with the welfare of the planet, social responsibility and ecological matters—significantly increases when people believe they have experienced either a UFO encounter, or a near-death experience (NDE). Significant changes are also found for the following values: appreciation for life, concern for others, materialism (decrease), quest for meaning and spirituality. They are also more likely to endorse the statement: “I believe that the changes I’ve undergone since my UFO (or ND) experience are part of an evolutionary unfolding of humanity.

It must be understood that the world into which these [visionaries] probed is perfectly real. Its reality is more irrefutable and more coherent than that of the empirical world where reality is perceived by the senses. Upon returning, the beholders of this world are perfectly aware of having been “elsewhere”; they are not mere schizophrenics. This world is hidden behind the very act of sense-perception and has to be sought underneath its apparent objective certainty. For this reason we definitely cannot qualify it as being imaginary in the current sense of the word, i.e., unreal or non-existent.

Since the domain of science is supposedly the entire physical universe, scientists are loathe to admit the validity of extra-scientific realities. Hence, the contempt of “official” science for all subtle realm accounts. Psychologists are only beginning to explore what had once been relegated to the intellectual junkyard of “pseudoscience,” whether we study the psychology of spontaneous healing, the placebo effect, mysticism or alien encounters. It is worth noting that much of Western science is based upon the limited perceptual reality of physical objects and forces. However, those perceptions describe a very narrow bandwidth of the natural world, much like radio waves make up only a small part of the total electromagnetic spectrum. Hayley and Joy show us that humans are capable of perceiving much more.

The “subtle realm” is the hidden dimension that shadows the phenomenal world we perceive with our senses. It is the forbidden domain, the realm of angels and aliens. The realm beyond consensus reality. Consensus reality? What does that mean as we accelerate past the year 2,000? Consensus reality, the tacitly-agreed-upon totality, appears to be undergoing a collective crack-up. Consensus reality appears to be collapsing under its own weight, burdened by so many linear eyes and ears. Our clients can testify to that. According to Hayley, within six months of her spiritual awakening, she saw with her own eyes her stylish living room furniture dissolve into a myriad of dots. Momentarily, the illusion of physical reality yielded to the underlying matrix. White light. Thankfully, Hayley recovered her furniture from the void. But she herself, will never be the same. According to people like Hayley, we are suffering a bleedthrough from another dimension, a hemorrhage of massive proportions. And our clients are not alone in that perception. Over half of adult Americans believe angels and UFOs exist, as more and more people bear testimony to the existence of the “subtle realm.

Again we are asked how a spirit can rap so as to make an audible sound. The spirits say they do not rap, but produce the sounds by will. We have examined a number of clairvoyants on this subject and all agree in this. We put a boy, who had no know ledge of the matter at all, neither was he noted for a remarkable degree of intelligence, into a magnetic sleep, and turned his attention to the subject. He was clairvoyant and said he could see who made the sounds. We asked him how the persons looked. His answer was, "they look light — just like gauze ; I can see right through them." Well, how do they make the sounds; do they rap? "No! they don't rap or strike at all." When after looking earnestly for a time he said : "They want it made, and it is made wherever they want it." This was his simple way of telling what other clairvoyants have told in language somewhat different, but amounting to the same thing.

The sound made by an ignorant spirit is quite different from the others. While the sound made by intelligent spirits is clear and lively, the sound made by the ignorant ones is low and muffled like the striking of the hand on a carpet. We are confident that with due caution and care, intelligent and upright individuals will get correct answers. Much depends upon the mind and disposition of persons at the time of asking the questions, for as all the Universe goes by affinities it needs a pure mind, calm thinker and deliberate questioner to get communications from spirits of a high order.

In almost every instance where persons of a strong sectarian character have investigated the matter, they have soon become convinced that they are spirits, but— from the devil.* Why this conclusion? Why, first, be cause it is at variance with all their preconceived opinions. This is their strongest reason. Then again the spirits do not talk enough about our " eternal welfare ;" they give too much advice for this world and too little for the next ; they do not tell people to go to church one day in the week and spend the remainder in trying to amass wealth. True, they give some good advice about morals, but they make no threats about the consequences of vice only that it will place them in a lower sphere. These are a few of the reasons brought forward as proof of the evil origin of these spirits. Some make the assertion, that in being where these sounds and other manifestations are made, they "tremble when they think how near the clutches of the devil they have been" without any reason at all other than they do not know what else it can be. They look for evil and suppose they have found it.

We know of what we speak. We know they are facts — strange, new, and to many wonderful — and to all, as yet in a state that defies the philosophy and theology of the world to explain away, or tell the laws by which they are governed. Knowing this we state the facts to the world, unmindful of the sneers of those who know nothing of the matter, and caring little for the criticisms of those who pretend to much wisdom in psychological knowledge, or those who with no pretentions, use vulgar and malicious falsehood as the only weapons which they have at hand. We expect all to use such weapons as they have at command, and those that are in the ditch of ignorance will throw the filth thereof, and others will use weapons of different gradations ascending to their positions. We have another consciousness, which, without boasting, we must think contributes greatly to the freedom of thought of any who occupy it. We are conscious of being bound by no sectarian ties ; we have no padlocks on our lips — no ties to bind our intellect to a particular circle of thought.

The connection between spirit and other matter, or between the visible and invisible world of human beings, is at present little understood. We are of the opinion that the connection is far more intimate than is generally believed. Of this fact we are receiving allmost daily the most positive and convincing proof. Many might be so averse to receiving new truths, which set aside all their preconceived opinions, as to disregard the positive evidence of their senses. But we are by no means willing to admit that we are so easily imposed upon as many think,*or pretend to think, they are themselves. Neither are we willing to suppose all but ourselves to be fools or knaves, when they relate to us, on good authority, facts of which we have no knowledge, or which are beyond our sphere of investigation.

'Tis said, "the vibration of one single note of music will linger on in motion through the corridors of all eternity." Nothing, then, is ever really lost, and whether written or unwritten on the page of mortal sense, all that has been done is done forever. Farewell, then, regrets for half-attempts or ill-executed purposes. In the eternal printing houses of creation, the types of all that is are found.

The entire history of the race, when recorded in accurate detail and fidelity to fact, ever has, and ever will be found, marked with the shadowy outline of a second world of existence, supersensuous to that of mortality. On the walls of our earthly dwelling-places ever will be seen a writing inscribed by 'a part of a man's hand,' the form whereof is dimly visible, the full proportions of which no human eye may scan. And these mystic writings are discovered everywhere; they are traced in our holy places, and meet us on the thresholds of our habitations. They are seen in our very city streets, and the stones prate of their whereabouts. Sometimes we label them 'religion,' at others denounce them by the weird name of 'magic,' 'witchcraft,' or 'sorcery;' in a word, we variously denominate them, as time, prejudice, or custom suggests, under all the different titles which are included in the generic synonym of 'supernaturalism;' but deem of them as we will, they include a set of experiences, occult and incomprehensible though they be, as irresistible and inevitable in time and space as the more material array of facts which we assume makes up the sum of human history. In truth, this same 'supernaturalism' is the woof spun by the hands of a powerful though invisible existence, which incloses all human life and shapes all human destiny. Hitherto, we have either determined to resolve the whole realm of power which makes up man's spiritual existence into the universal solvent of all mysteries, 'God,' and 'His Will;' or else, with still more unphilosophic ignorance, we have striven to stifle the records of its being beneath the pall of unreasoning and senseless materialism. Neither will longer serve our turn.
