General

My new room mate was moving in on September 1st​, 2018 where the experiences took on a whole new life and were raised to the next level of supernatural.


I learned of this meditation method called CE-5, discovered and termed by Dr. Steven Greer, one of the leading disclosure activists and UFO researchers out there. I had always enjoyed looking documentaries about unexplainable things such as, UFO’s & Extraterrestrial theories, “conspiracy” theories, and archaeological / anthropological sites and theories. Which I had since stopped finding entertaining given my sleep paralysis experiences, and was taking a break all together from them.

But this CE-5 meditation, which I had known about for years, became ever present in the forefront of my mind. I became fixated on finding a group to join for one of these group meditations and trying it for myself. I discovered a whole website devoted to finding individuals in your area that are practicing or open to it. Giving the community a means to find one another and practice together.


I reached out to a bunch of people in my area and received one response back from a woman who was willing to meet us in Joshua Tree National Park and help conduct it for me. Although she wasn’t able to find anyone else to join that night, I brought my roommate along with me. My roommate who had just moved all his stuff in that day. He was an old friend just moving back to the area, and on my way out the door I offered an invite in gesture, which he excitedly accepted. Informing that he had been really into practicing meditation for the past year or two, although never trying to initiate UFO contact in his life, he was open-minded and willing to try.


We made our way to Joshua Tree, which is a beautiful scenic drive from the Palm Springs area to the National Park. It was already dusk when we arrived at the entrance where we met our new friend, the lady who was willing to meet us out there. It just so happened to be a New Moon that night, which meant it was getting dark quickly. And even better yet, The Milky Way was beginning to appear in the clear night sky above us, in all of her wonder and beauty, she began dancing and dazzling above our heads.

If you’ve been somewhere The Milky Way is visible on a night that has complete visibility and zero light pollution from cities or the moon, then you know it’s pretty hard to put into the words the way the view can shrink the size of your problems and stresses here on Earth. Just seeing and realizing the size of the galactic neighborhood we share, will stir up the wonders in anyone’s heart.

We followed our friend down the winding roads into the center of the National Park’s lands, where all the pull offs and camping sites lay. We pulled off after about 20 minutes into an empty and completely deserted road that had closed signs on the gates. But seeing as someone had not closed the gates, we assumed the signs were incorrect and parked down by the desolate camp site.

We met in front of our cars, using the light from the headlights, where the lady had pulled out a big map of the United States. My roommate gave me sarcastic wide-eyed look, and I slightly chuckled thinking what have we gotten ourselves into. She went on to educate us where we were geographically speaking in California, using the Salton Sea as a marker. She advised on the importance of our visualizing when broadcasting during the meditation. So her information was very useful, because I would never have thought to use the Salton Sea in my visualizations.


She continued on explaining visualizing our solar system; specifically using the fact that we are the third planet from the Sun. After our solar system, is the Milky Way which looks like a spiral spinning mass of stars, as far as we know. What we visualize past that can be left to imagination or just allow for that broadcast to start from the Milky Way and work our way down to Joshua Tree National Park.

I asked, “Can I name these points of reference in English while broadcasting or does it even matter if I say it?” What I meant was, while visualizing am I using words to describe the directions like, ​“From the Milky Way, to our Solar System, it’s the third planet from our Star, the Earth which is blue water and land, then on the continent of North America, on the West Coast of the United States, in California, southeast of the Salton Sea body of water inland, to the open land of Joshua Tree National Park.

We went down in between some enormous rock structures jutting out of the flat Earth. Appearing as if someone had leaned them up against one another. We set up our chairs and got into comfortable positions to meditate and look up at the stars. We played the guided meditation spoken by Dr. Greer himself, which I highly recommend even if not broadcasting to the heavens for a sign. It really helps harness your minds-eye’ visualization abilities and the overall flexing of your consciousness like a muscle in your mind.

As we broadcasted out to the Universe, I began to hone my technique and ability to visualize without interruption. I soon felt as if my consciousness was expanding and connecting with all the infinte that is; the cosmos. This overwhelming feeling of oneness and interconnectedness of all things sunk into every fiber of my being. It was just like working out a muscle, extending and expanding out, then contracting and bring back in.


This went on for about an hour or more without any real signs of response from any intelligence, but it was also quite hard to decide where to focus your gaze or even look for signs. With the whole of the Milky Way shimmering before us, and shooting stars here and there, planes and satellites going to and from, made for a difficult classification of where to look. I finally brought up that I had seen a video from a group that described broadcasting a specific constellation they were gazing towards during their meditation. So that is what we did next. She pointed out the constellation Cepheus, which was a new name and arrangement of stars for me and my roommate.


As soon as we began to broadcast up, I felt connected to my roommate and the lady in a way that I could not describe and had never felt in my life. Connected in an unforeseen and synchronized expulsion of our consciousness, becoming one and broadcasting up together into the heavens. As we began to vector down to our point in Joshua Tree National Park, where we sat, I felt the presence of another connection. It came with a knowing I felt in my gut that this was going to work somehow.


A flash of light appeared right in the center of the stars making up the constellation of Cepheus. It wasn’t just done after one flash, it continued to flash, and flash. As it was flashing, it was never in the same spot as before, appearing to me as it had been moving in a circle or spiral fashion.


Then as soon as it started, it was over. Leaving me with the most indescribable feeling of excitement and joy from just those 7 to 12 seconds, changing my perspective forever.


It was not about a UFO to me at that point. In fact, I wasn’t even thinking about it being a craft of some sort. It was more of the evidence that our consciousness is not just limited to our brains, and that indeed all things must be connected in the Universe. That we put an intentional call out to the heavens, and we got an undeniable response. For all I know, our consciousness could have created that event, but none the less more exciting and interesting.


All three of us saw it, and all three of us looked at each other in disbelief for a few moments after the flashing stopped. I’ll tell you, my roommate had to peel away from the night-sky because I was just elated. We finally drove home around 2:00am. My roommate was dozing in the passenger seat, as I couldn’t help but to continue glancing up to the sky every few seconds during that trek home.


After we arrived at home, my room mate immediately retired to his room with a sleepy, “Goodnight bro.” I went to my room and sat on my bed, feeling on cloud nine, as I mowed over the experience of the night and all the different.


She answered that I can do whatever I need to which help my clarity and communication during the visualization. I later found this was a great question, because naming the points became very helpful in my visualizations and just staying present in the practice.

I sat on my bed with my current book on one side of me and the laptop on the other trying to decide whether to read or to go down the rabbit hole on different CE-5 meditation videos online. All the lights in the room still lit; I noticed something out of the corner of my eye. As I turned to look, a second passed before my mind could comprehend what was occurring next to my bed.


I look bewildered as my lamp shade swayed with force back and forth in a deliberate front to back direction swing. My immediate reaction was, oh no there’s an earthquake I need to grab my television from falling off the dresser. Which had been an occurrence in the recent year in the middle of the night. But then my attention to came to the fact that nothing else in my room was moving, and my bed wasn’t shaking, nor did I feel an tremble or earthquake in my body. As soon as I was about to panic and feel fear. My entire being became completely calm and at peace with everything. The most serene I’ve felt my whole life up until that point.


My thoughts in my head completely clear until the thought came:

I should go into sleep paralysis right now.

And I even responded to it.

Yes I should.


I finished my response and went from sitting up position on my bed, to laying down on my back. My ears immediately started ringing and the feeling of the microwave came on, while my body was getting sucked down into my bed yet again.


The only difference being, I was completely calm and at peace. It was the first time there was no fear, no panic, no trying to move and no trying to scream.


As the force was getting stronger and stronger, the ringing grew louder. Until...​pop.


The loud ringing transformed into a beautiful tranquil buzzing. The feeling of love and warmth was throughout me.


And I myself was weightless. I was floating in my room above my body.

I noticed a hole on my ceiling that I could see the stars in the distance, it looked like some sort of portal. And the same calming thoughts came back to me.

You can go anywhere you’d please right now.

I thought for a moment then just thought to myself, ​I’ll just stay here for now.

You can look at your body if you want.

The thought of that didn’t sound appealing I guess, and I thought in response, ​I want to be in my b---...


As I finished the word body, there was a ​*cur-plunk*​ sound and feeling, and I was immediately back in my body looking up at my ceiling. There were no holes in the ceiling and no ringing in the ears or feeling of weightlessness. It was painful to be back in my body, I could feel my bones, my organs, my skin, and it was all an overwhelming cumbersome and heavy feeling. I was immediately kicking myself, like why did you do that Jim! It was closest to pure bliss I’ve felt and the experience was so amazing, can’t believe I came back. 


The stream of consciousness which telepathically communicated with me that night and put me into paralysis; was day one of a brand new friendship which I had not ever anticipated occurring in my life. The thoughts which guided me out of my body that night, were the same thoughts that had told me to leave everything behind and go to Peru 6 months from this very day. My family and friends who had been present in my life for years prior to these new friends whom entered my life through a back door and invisible to the naked eye. Yet, proving to bring the necessary amount of force each time I needed to take a step or leap in my spiritual evolution. Letting go of the financial focus which had gripped my daily life for God knows how long. 


Speaking of God, that’s the new friend which I had unknowingly uncovered in my Meditation night out with the new roomate - As it is very clear with the feeling that is accompanying that stream of consciousness...almost a knowing which is attached to the feeling of trust and peace. But my mind had a very hard time conceiving and believing in the chance of being important enough to be touched by the creator’s hand. Well at that point I was still considering myself pretty lost and faithless - atheist almost. 


Not for much longer given the upcoming onslaught of experiences and my new friend, God, hard at work carefully molding me into the form which he knew I was capable of being, but my own heart was unable to even think of myself being anything more than a product of pure chance and luck. It made more sense to sum up my existence as a sequence that came by way of circumstances, which were stacked upon more circumstances. Thankfully my new friend could see in me, what no one else could -- especially my own self. Thank you God. You can stop by anytime - I’ll always leave my door unlocked ;)
