 OUR INTERDIMENSIONAL PORTAL

 

In the sixth book of my Elysium’s Passage novel series, an equation mysteriously surfaces that leads to a confluence of events where a hidden light code discovered in the formulation is adapted to a laser configuration, then applied to the protagonist’s pineal gland, whereby he instantly regains consciousness after being in a coma for almost a year. Later, he discovers that his ‘dormant’ DNA strands have been activated, unlocking special abilities that eventually turn him into a kind of Superhero. (Stay tuned for my next series)

That may be fiction, but the pineal gland isn’t, and what it does is beyond fiction. Few realize how significant a role it plays in our lives, perhaps thinking it’s just one of those things dropped into the brain for some reason or another. Not long ago, in some parts of the West’s medical community, it was considered useless because they couldn’t figure out what it was for. Perhaps because of this ignorance, we do not understand the harm we can cause by abusing this very special, interdimensional instrument in our bodies.

The pineal gland is a small pine-cone-shaped structure positioned deep in the centre of the brain, between the 2 hemispheres, at what is anatomically called the geometric centre of the cranial structure.  Among other functions, this tiny endocrine gland helps regulate the body's circadian rhythm by secreting the hormone melatonin.

Interestingly, a colossal pine-cone statue was erected in the Vatican about 1,800 years ago by the Roman sculptor Publius Cincius Savius, probably as a shrine dedicated to the Egyptian deities Isis and Serapis on the Campus Martius, near the Baths of Agrippa. What is really striking about the statue is its colossal size and lifelike quality, considering the gland is less than 0.3 inch (8 mm) long. Its name, pineal, is from the Latin pinea, meaning pinecone. Historically, artistic depictions of the pine cone have represented eternal life and renewal, associating it with spiritual enlightenment and the brain’s pineal gland. Dante also mentions the statue in his Divine Comedy as a symbol of immortality and rebirth.

But is there possibly more to it than that? Beyond its important physiological purpose, what more is there to this gland that offers a rich history, extending into higher, spiritual planes of reality?

For example, the pineal spiritual third-eye dot has been painted on the foreheads of many people in India. Many other spiritual traditions have known it by many names across many cultures.

Gifted seer Edgar Cayce spent decades in a state of deep non-ordinary perception, accessing information well beyond the boundaries of his conscious knowledge. He once said, “Keep this gland operating, and you will not grow old. You will always stay young.”

Obviously, that seems a bit hyperbolic unless ageing is to be interpreted as a conduit of spiritual energy from the divine ‘silver cord’[1] that slows the ageing process, an anatomical claim about the relationship between the gland and the biological ageing process itself. He also stated that this gland is one of the body’s seven spiritual centres, meaning this is not just about physiology.

What if the ageing process is not just a function of time but involves photonic reception whereby the body is designed to receive a continuous supply of specific high-frequency information through this gland? Further to that, is it possible that when that reception is compromised, the regenerative cycles lose their guidance signal, thereby accelerating the immune system's degenerative process and advancing ageing?

It has been suggested by some that the pineal gland also serves as the primary interface of our biological system and the Spirit of our divine Source, providing us with access to realms beyond the third dimension towards spiritual realms that may include, for example, intuition, deep meditation, dreams, hypnotic regression, NDEs and OBEs, hypnagogic sleep, and various mystical encounters, etc.

These claims may not be so far-fetched, given that biological sciences have identified remarkable microcrystals in the pineal gland that are genuine biological crystalite structures composed of calcium phosphate. These structures exhibit piezoelectric behaviour, capable of generating electrical charges that vibrate in response to specific electromagnetic fields.

Such properties are well documented in the peer-reviewed biological literature, but they only came to light in the last few decades of the 20th century. Prior to this, Cayce, while in trance, disclosed all this. In fact, the ancient Greeks, in their musings, also had some understanding of the pineal’s qualities.

These biological crystals can physically respond to electromagnetic stimulation by vibrating in resonance with a gland’s crystalline receiver; however, the frequencies picked up by this antenna are not within our ordinary visible spectrum, nor are they within the ranges detectable by our current technology.

Many believe these signals exist within the higher photonic ranges of specific solar events on our planet’s photonic field. In fact, we can demonstrate where these frequencies register in the heart’s neural network, especially in deep states of genuine coherence. Provided the crystals are not compromised, they vibrate freely in response to these frequencies, translating them into biological signals for the body to receive and act upon.

The higher-dimensional reality bands become perceptible because the physical receiver is functioning as designed. In fact, every major ancient spiritual tradition identifies this as the primary site of divine contact, where we interface with our Source, and why love is associated with the heart.

The question is why some humans can perceive interdimensional frequency bands while others cannot. There are several possibilities; the first being calcification. The pineal crystals can’t vibrate effectively when the glands become calcified by accumulated mineral deposits that prevent the free resonant response the gland was designed to produce. And so, the antenna becomes frozen.

Even though the frequencies continue to arrive, the receiver cannot respond to the broadcast signals, so perceptual access to the frequency bands that would otherwise remain open cannot occur, since the physical interface with the bands is no longer operational or is severely compromised.

In Western culture, fluoridation has been the primary cause of calcification since being introduced into our water supplies in the mid-20th century. Dental health has been the justification. Calcification accumulates preferentially in the pineal gland at concentrations higher than in any other tissue in the human body, disrupting the gland's production of its primary secretions, reducing the resonant capacity of the crystalline structures.

It makes you wonder if some nefarious organization is targeting the pineal gland to prevent us from interfacing with the stars, so to speak? A great conspiracy theory I might use in my upcoming Sci-fi novel series, where the interplanetary reptilian races attempt to take over the world. Interestingly, the State of Utah has banned fluoridation of the public water, and Florida is not far behind. Maybe this will catch on before we all become zombies if it’s not already too late (just kidding).

But then, after the whole Covid Vaxx scam, nothing would surprise me. Unlike the pharmaceutical industry,  however, I’m not sure how dentists would profit from water fluoridation. No doubt fluoride helps fight tooth cavities, but why do we need to harm our bodies by dumping this compound into our drinking water when we can swish fluoride in our mouths with fluoride toothpaste, or use some fluoride mouthwash if it exists?

To avoid fluoride, I recommend a Brita water filter with the fluoride-removal filter inserts. (Available on Amazon) https://www.bing.com/search?FORM=ARPACE&PC=3ACE&PTAG=1_2_1_140&q=brita%20water%20filter 

The second villain is electromagnetic frequency bands generated by wireless communication infrastructure installed over the last three decades. These waves interact with the pineal gland's natural electromagnetic sensitivity in ways that are not neutral.

Even though the pineal gland was designed to respond to specific cosmic and natural electromagnetic inputs, we’re now immersed in a continuous stream of artificial electromagnetic frequencies that introduce dissonant interference into our nervous system, distorting our body’s neural field.

The third most harmful influence is of our own making… literally. Fear produces cortisol, which suppresses the pineal, and so we cannot receive the frequencies that would dissolve the fear. When fear is continuously generated and regenerated, we are working against our well-being through the most pervasive hormone produced by sustained stress and perceived threat.

As a side note: If modern life doesn’t create enough fear, we can always count on Steven King’s movies and horror books to keep the cortisol working against us. I don’t get horror.  However, fear seems to have a huge appeal, maybe to keep us dumbed down while bringing a little adrenaline and cortisol into our mediocre lives (sorry if that’s cynical).

Regardless, fear is the opposite of love. Our portal to divine love is through the heart, which, according to this hypothesis, receives its signal through the pineal gland. No wonder fear brings humanity to its lowest levels of consciousness, preventing us from living life as it is intended to be experienced. The very instrument that would relieve fear, our biological portal, is rendered inoperative by the fear itself, since cortisol suppresses the enzymatic pathways by which the pineal gland produces its most important secretions.

And so, the very system designed to be our primary channel for higher-dimensional perception is chemically shut down by chronic fear, which introduces compounds and electromagnetic interference. Seemingly, this is engineered to foster social competition, media environments saturated with disempowering narratives that further aggravate social trauma. All this and much more is designed to constrain our nervous system to low-grade activation, chemically suppressing the very means by which its own suppression could be perceived.

Having said this, it’s good to know there is a substance that is naturally produced endogenously by our own biology that’s synthesized in the pineal gland (and a few other areas) that can help recalibrate our portal, provided we don’t insist on polluting ourselves with fluoride, electromagnetic dissonance and fear porn.

This substance is the most potent perceptual substance identified in organic chemistry through which we experience the mystical. It’s not about some drug out there, but it exists within our own perception (no LSD or DMT required). The original template within the gland continuously produces this molecule during normal waking perception.

Best of all, what our traditions describe as a mystical experience is the sense of being connected to all of life simultaneously, in which the membrane between the self and the rest of existence becomes transparent. The mystical is not meant to be a rare peak experience, but rather ordinary daily consciousness. That would include prayer, meditation, nature walks, service to others, etc, etc. In other words, it’s not necessarily just an elevated state of altered consciousness, but the restoration of the gland's function, in which the bands of higher-dimensional reality are simply part of what is visible and as natural as the capacity to see colour or hear music.

This is another reason we should make an effort to saturate our hearts and minds with happy thoughts throughout the day, displacing negative thoughts with elevated vibes of kindness. Does the music you listen to lift you or bring you down? How about your friends and acquaintances? If necessary, maybe trade them up to where you are or want to be. (Not so easy with relatives.) Anyway, do it for your pineal gland, and it will reward you with clarity, peace, coherence, intuition, insight, nirvana, etc., as we were created.

I could go on, but I think you get the point. Whatever damage that may have been done can be reversed; drink pure water, avoid electromagnetic frequencies when possible, and don’t sleep with your mobile. Most of all, stay clear of fear-mongering media… at least that much is in your control.

For suggestions on staying in a happy vibe to help keep the pineal gland functioning unimpeded for spiritual clarity, see the following blog posts on this site.

[1] Or ever the silver cord be loosed, Ecclesiastes 12:6. The silver cord may be understood as the medulla oblongata or spinal marrow, from which all the nerves proceed, as itself does from the brain. This is termed a cord, from its exact similitude to one; and a silver cord, from its colour, as it strikingly exhibits the silver grey; and from its preciousness. This is said to be loosened, as the nervous system became a little before, and upon death, wholly debilitated.

3i ALTAS UPDATE

.

As an update to my previous post on 3I Atlas, Not Just Your Average Rock in the Sky, I've included some current information on the latest discoveries of what's happening out there.

You may access the previous post at: https://digitalbloggers.com/arts-and-entertainment/3i-Atlas-Update 

 

NASA's Deep Space Network just recorded an event with a 0.00001% chance of occurring as 3i Atlas continues to race through the void of space. Along with several other paraconformities discovered over the last year, we now find that it is radiating a cold bioluminescent light, just like certain creatures at the bottom of our oceans.

This supposed icy rock, 240 million kilometres away, is emitting a rhythmic, pulsating blue-green glow. Comets are supposed to be inorganic objects that reflect sunlight as the shedding dust while zooming through space, but they never glow on their own. However, this object visiting our solar system defies every law of astrophysics as we analyze the data from telescopes. None of this fits any of the models we've built over the past 4 centuries of modern astronomy, observing dead rocks in frozen ice balls, assuming that space is a cold lifeless vacuum.

But now, suddenly, we're seeing a process that's never been observed before. For the first time, we are witnessing biological processes in deep space, hundreds of millions of kilometres from Earth. The implications of this are immense. If this data, confirmed by multiple observatories around the world, holds up, we may be dealing with something far beyond a rogue comet. This could be evidence of artificially engineered processes in space we are no longer looking at a frozen rock that could rewrite the very laws of Astrophysics.

It's easy to hide from the evidence and dismiss 3i Atlas as a mere anomaly. Nevertheless, as the evidence continues to build each month, we may be staring at the beginning of a new era in our understanding of the universe. The questions this raises are profound. How can it, at this distance and temperature, challenge everything we thought we knew about space? The event began unfolding on the 27th of August 2024, when we initially thought we were observing another interstellar object, much like the recent Muah Muah or Borushov asteroids.  But 3i Atlas quickly proved itself anything but ordinary. Typically, these are just icy rocks travelling through space.

In contrast, this one began to exhibit behaviour completely out of the ordinary, with its velocity far beyond what we had expected, as its icy coma refused to sublimate at the rate we had anticipated. What we witnessed was statistically anomalous, with a 1 in 47 billion chance of occurring. But even then, we didn't fully grasp the significance of what was unfolding before our eyes.

On the 14th of April 2026, an event occurred that would change everything when 3i Atlas began emitting optical emissions that weren't just any type of light. NASA's Hubble detected an unusual spectral spike, which turned out to have the precise wavelength of light emitted by luciferian molecules when they react with oxygen. Lucifern is the molecule used by deep-sea creatures such as anglerfish and certain jellyfish to produce bioluminescence. The idea that this same frequency could be emitted by a comet millions of kilometres away completely upends our understanding of these celestial bodies.

What's even more remarkable is that this emission wasn't just a random, isolated event. Three different observatories, including NASA’s Hubble, the European Space Agency and the ALMA observatory in Chile, independently verified the exact 47050 emission. Each confirmed the same data, meaning this was not an anomaly or an error; it was real and undeniable.

Discovering light emission is typically associated with some form of energy release on Earth. However, deep-sea creatures use luciferin to produce light, which requires a specific chemical reaction. So now we're talking about a biological process involving a comet in a frozen body at-210°C. Chemistry at such extreme temperatures is supposed to be inert. So how could a body like this emit such specific Bioluminescent light when the conventional explanation for light emissions from comets has always been out-gassing as the comet approaches the sun, reflecting the sunlight?

However, it’s been necessary to rule it out because the data don't support that theory. Rather, the light is coming from inside the comet itself, not from the reflection of sunlight. It’s as though this frozen rock is alive, producing light from within in a way that has never been observed before. Imagine lighting a massive bonfire in the middle of a frozen wasteland where you could see the light for miles, but when you touch the fire, it's cold to the touch. That's what we're dealing with here, an object hundreds of millions of kilometres away, emitting light. Cold light is something we've never seen before in our history of studying space. Again, the physics behind this defy all expectations.

 But the new anomalies don't end there. Just days later, on the 15th of April 2026, we saw another extraordinary phenomenon. The comet's emission didn't remain stable; instead, it began pulsating, unlike anything seen in our astronomical studies. It's almost as if it’s sending us signals like a beacon in the vastness of space. So, what if this object isn't just a comet but something far more complex, operating on rules completely different from anything we've ever known? This isn't just a strange one-off event; this is a game-changer. The implications of this discovery are so profound that they could redefine everything we thought we understood about space, energy, and perhaps even life itself.

As the mystery deepens, so does the complexity of what we're witnessing. It seems every time we think we've reached the limit of what this comet can show us, it once again continues to defy all that we thought we knew. Then, after the pulsating light emissions observed in April 2026, things appeared even more astonishing.

On April 16th, NASA's Deep Space Network recorded data that again forced scientists to question everything they knew about astrophysics. Despite the comet being at -210°C, the light emissions remained perfectly stable. In fact, it wasn't just stable; it was precise, as if it were deliberately constructing the energy to produce this light. Normally, this could have generated some heat, but it wasn't happening.  Though the light was cold, it was incredibly intense, as if created by some unknown process that defies the laws of thermodynamics. For years, we've assumed that any energy released in deep space by comets or other celestial objects would produce heat. But this comet's emissions are something entirely different. Imagine seeing the brightest light so bright it seems to illuminate the very fabric of space itself, but when you touch it, it feels cold. The idea alone sounds like science fiction, but this is precisely what we're seeing from this object. And what's even more Intriguing is that this cold light emission was perfectly coherent, meaning it didn't degrade or fluctuate even after travelling 240 million kilometres through space, from when scientists first observed its emissions cut through the background radiation like a laser through fog, showing no sign of interference.

 In space, we expect cosmic radiation and solar winds to distort such signals, yet this comet's emissions remain perfectly intact, defying all expectations. This level of precision is mind-boggling. Try to imagine sending a beam of light across the length of the Earth and having it remain perfectly stable no matter how many obstacles were standing in its path.

What we're seeing from 3i Atlas isn't just about the light; it's about the behaviour of the object itself. The energy conversion is near perfect with little or no wasted heat. In physics, this is considered impossible. Even advanced materials in the most cutting-edge experiments don't operate with this level of efficiency.  But somehow 3I is doing just that.  To make things even more bizarre, the data shows a level of order that doesn't make sense for something as chaotic as comets, which are typically unpredictable as they tumble through space with no real rhyme or reason.

3i Atlas, however, is emitting light so precisely mathematical that it seems to be operating like a machine with intent. It's as if we're observing a highly structured process that is far more sophisticated than the natural forces we are familiar with. Even top scientists like Harvard’s Avi Loebe admit that they have never seen anything like this before. Lobe, who has spent years challenging traditional astrophysics, says that this optical behaviour cannot be explained by standard commentary. That's a huge statement coming from someone who spent decades in the field. When a scientist of his calibre says something doesn't add up, you know that something truly unprecedented is happening.

What if we're not looking at a comet at all? What if this is a highly advanced probe or some artificial object that's operating on principles we've never encountered? Further to that, what if it is trying to communicate with us using bioluminescence as a medium to send signals across the vast expanse of space?

The possibilities are staggering. The more we learn about this object, the more it challenges everything we've thought we knew about the universe. The data is so precise and unnatural that it feels like we're witnessing something that didn’t occur by random chance but by design. It's as if we're on the brink of a discovery that could completely change our understanding of life, intelligence and the very fabric of the cosmos.

 As if the pulsing bioluminescence and cold-laid emissions weren’t enough to challenge our understanding of space, something even more perplexing occurred a day later, on the 17th of April 2026. NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory detected a sudden and unexpected shift in the emission data that wasn’t predicted. In fact, no one could have anticipated what came next. The emission, emitting a steady, pulsing light, suddenly stopped for 4 minutes and 20 seconds and went completely silent: no light, no signal, just absolute darkness in the void of space, and then. Just as mysteriously as it had stopped, the light reignited, but this time it wasn't steady; it was intermittent, strobing in a rhythmic sequence.

At first, NASA thought it was a data error, perhaps a glitch, but as they continued to analyse the pattern, it became undeniable that the light was turning on and off at mathematically precise intervals, down to 0.03 seconds. This wasn't a random reflection of light but seemed a deliberate, calculated signal. The light wasn't just fluctuating; it was doing so precisely, as if the object were actively trying to communicate.

Imagine you're watching a live feed from the James Webb Space Telescope, and suddenly the comet's light begins to strobe with each pulse, followed by complete darkness, then again, perfectly timed. Obviously, this is not how comets behave. It's as if the comet intended to send a signal across the cosmos. What's more astonishing is that the timing of the flashes was recorded to be within mathematical intervals.

The probability of such a precise sequence occurring randomly in nature is astronomically low: 1 in 4.7 billion. To put it in perspective, this is like flipping a coin 10,000 times and having it land perfectly on its edge every single time. Statistically, it should have been impossible, but this wasn’t just some isolated event. The sequence, incredibly rare, was confirmed by multiple independent sources. The data is unambiguous. This is not just a cosmic anomaly; it is something far beyond our understanding of comets, space and light- perhaps a cosmic signal that the universe isn’t chaotic, filled with dead rocks and lifeless bodies?

So is 3I Atlas not just the comet but something far more complex and far more deliberate? The fact that it's emitting light in such a precise and calculated manner raises profound questions. Are we witnessing something much more sophisticated, where the nature of the light itself is not just light but an intentional, structured message we haven't yet fully deciphered?

It seems this isn't just a random pattern of light but a deliberate communication that, at the very least, challenges our understanding of intelligence and technology. The fact that this event is happening in deep space adds to the mystery of how a frozen rock hundreds of millions of kilometres away can emit such precise light signals.

How is it possible that this object, which we once thought was a simple comet, is now acting like an intelligent probe communicating with us, using a language we don't yet understand? This new data is forcing scientists to rethink their entire approach to space exploration. What we thought were simple, lifeless objects are now behaving in ways that defy all known laws of physics and biology.

These discoveries became even more profound and unsettling on the 18th of April 2026, when the object took an even more unexpected turn. For the first time in the history of astronomy, something was detected that could not be explained by any natural process. This event was so groundbreaking that it triggered a series of emergency briefings among the international space community.

The following day, on April 18th, the situation escalated further when another discovery showed that the comet's emission had shifted the light that had once pulsed in rhythmic intervals. Suddenly, the visual pattern physically moved, aligning its rotation with Earth's position in the cosmos, aligning which with incredible precision within just 0.04°, completely unexpected.

Even more shocking, the comet, which had previously been emitting bioluminescent flashes, began transmitting an entirely new visual pattern that closely resembles the Arisabel message from a famous radio transmission we sent into space in 1974, designed to represent the basics of human life and our civilisation. It was a binary message composed of 1,679 bits of information, sent to a distant star as humanity's attempt to reach out to extraterrestrial civilisations.

Imagine the surprise of scientists when they realised that the pulses coming from 3I Atlas were not just random; they were mimicking the exact binary sequence of the message. No longer just a strange light pattern, it was as though the comet were playing back humanity's first attempt at interstellar communication, in the form of deep-sea biochemical light, a cosmic echo being reflected to us. The fact that it uses bioluminescence, typically associated with deep-sea creatures, to mirror our own message is utterly baffling.

It's almost impossible to overstate the significance. If 3I Atlas is deliberately transmitting the irretrievable message back to us, then what we're staring at is something far more complex. Possibly it’s a living probe that is actively interacting with us. Could this be the first sign of intelligent life beyond our planet, where we’re witnessing the first contact with extraterrestrial intelligence?  If 3I Atlas is sending back the Arisei message, it means this object is a sophisticated entity, possibly associated with artificial intelligence that intercepted our transmission and responded.

The fact that it uses bioluminescence as a means of communication raises even more questions. Is this object trying to reach out to us, perhaps an alien technology designed to communicate? In any case, this discovery has completely shifted the narrative, where we can no longer assume that the universe is a quiet, lifeless place.

The last piece of the puzzle fell into place on the 19th of April 2026. A coordinated effort between NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, the European Space Agency, and Chile's ALMA observatory confirmed what had been suspected for days. 3I Atlas isn't just a comet. Rather, it's an entity that seems most adept at manipulating its trajectory, controlling its emissions while sending signals that mimic human communication.

 This object is more than a cosmic anomaly; it's actively interacting with us in ways that we can't yet fully comprehend. Its ability to shift its trajectory while sending transmissions suggesting that this object is a highly advanced artificial probe designed to mimic biological processes, such as bioluminescence. The precision required to emit light at exactly 470nm, coupled with the ability to send messages in binary form, is far beyond what we've ever seen from a natural object.

What's more astonishing is the sheer scale of this event. The fact that 3I Atlas has been able to sustain these emissions over such a long distance without a loss of intensity or coherence is something that defies all known laws of physics. If this object is an intelligent probe, then it raises the question of who or what is behind it.

Is it extraterrestrials reaching out to us, or is it a more advanced form of life that operates on principles we've yet to discover? The implications are staggering, the possibilities are endless. Are we witnessing the dawn of a new era in space exploration that could lead to the discovery of intelligent life beyond Earth? For centuries, we've looked to the Stars, wondering if we are alone in the universe. We may now have our answer. The data we've gathered from 3I Atlas is irrefutable. It appears not to be just a comet, but something far more profound that could change the course of human history forever.

Whether 3I Atlas is an artificial probe or a natural phenomenon, one thing is certain: it has opened the doorway to a future we never imagined.

*** As a side note to this, I wrote a post on an experience I had encountering a huge UAP/UFO mothership one night while driving home near the mountains. In the post, I mentioned that it glowed brightly, seemingly by its own luminescence rather than by light reflecting off it. This new information on bioluminescence fascinates me, since it aligns with my experience on the hill when a ray of light flashed into my van. You may read about this incident in my August entry of Monthly Messages for 2025. https://digitalbloggers.com/arts-and-entertainment/monthly-message-from-elysium-s-passage 

BTW, after being sick for much of the three years prior, I haven't had a sick day since that night.

WINESKINS

.

Since I didn't have time to complete my new blog post for April, I've substituted a short excerpt from Book Two, THE SUMMIT, on the topic of 'Wineskines.' 

I hope you enjoy this little vignette:

‘Your time on the Summit is not just about waiting for your battered body to awaken back home,' Mo said, 'rather, it was spared so you might discover what it means to exist as a spirit outside of the Earth plane. There could be no greater affront to the materialist than that, such that when you return to your world, you will have become an enlightened emissary and philosopher worthy of Elysium. In fact, what you’re about to discover will go far beyond what the wisest philosophers in Grecian antiquity could have dreamed in their wildest speculations.’

‘So, you’re saying, even after all my years of study, I still have a lot to learn.’

‘Not learn; we’re saying there remains much for you to discover, but first, you must unlearn all you think you know,' Eli said. 'Then you will discover what is real instead of learning what isn’t.’

‘What do you mean, discover rather than learn; what’s the difference?’

‘Wineskins, James, it’s all about wineskins,’[1]

‘What do wineskins have to do with anything?’

‘You can’t have old wineskins containing new wine; it doesn’t work. The old wineskins won’t last because they were made for learning, whereas new wineskins are for discovery. What this means is that before you can receive the new wine of discovery, you must replace the old wineskins before they burst.’ 

‘That seems more than a little confusing since it seems to me that one can only discover by learning.’

‘I’m sure it often seems that way, so let’s make this simple,’ Mo said. ‘As we’ve often said, learning is of the mind, while discovery is of the heart. Learning is about assimilating external information that may or may not be truthful, whereas discovery engages the heart by accessing the divine wisdom that lies hidden within.

‘In other words, what flows from our Source conjoins with the heart, which is why we can learn through discovery but not discover through learning. Discovery is far more than learning since it’s transformative. It provides the soul with what is significantly richer, deeper and more complete than what mere information can ever offer.’

‘It seems you are creating an unnecessary dichotomy, putting the act of discovery on a higher rung than learning. I’m not sure that’s true.’

‘So then, tell us,’ Eli asked, ‘apart from what you were taught, what did you discover as a student?’

‘I’m not sure; I just know that as I commenced my doctorate studies at Edinburgh, I no longer fit in with the intellectual establishment, which is probably why I failed to pass my doctoral thesis defence. It seemed something jolted my mind into searching for what lies beyond current conventions of rational enquiry. That’s when things began to change in my life.’

‘Such as what?’

‘Lots of things; even as I attempted to fit into the established order, I could no longer settle for what was assumed to be truthful. Increasingly, I found myself living on the edge. Possibly, that’s why I felt drawn to seek out a fortune-teller.’

‘Really? Eli asked. ‘I’m not sure that’s what most philosophers would do,’ he said. ‘This should be interesting… tell us more.’

‘I don’t know, it was just one of those things you don’t plan for; it just happened. I can’t help but laugh at the irony of how I, a sceptical philosopher, fell under her spell. It was as if she had sought me out.’

‘So tell us how that happened.’

‘One day, as I was walking by an old two-story building, I noticed a peculiar sign posted by a stairway beside a pawnshop below. Under her name, Madame Peroux, it said Reiki, Numerology, Tantric Lessons, Medium, and Massage Therapy. Curious about what I might find there, I found myself climbing up the old wooden stairway to her dimly lit flat, where I caught a whiff of exotic incense. Since I had never done anything like this before, I had no idea what to expect when I opened the door to her studio.

‘What I found was a friendly, slightly plump, middle-aged gypsy-like woman sitting among scattered pillows and rugs in a room surrounded by heavy curtains covering the walls. With a canopy draped overhead, I felt like I was in an Arabian tent or maybe back in Istanbul, smoking a Hookah pipe in an alley kiosk.

‘After exchanging a few pleasantries, she invited me inside, so I sat across from her in a lotus position, taking in her exotic sensorium. At first, I felt so out of place that I wanted to laugh, but soon her graciousness won me over as she poured Turkish tea into an antique teacup and handed me her service price list.

‘I was concerned about where this might lead since I still had no idea what I was doing there, except it felt like I belonged. After chatting for a short while, I decided to have a therapeutic massage; at least no one could fault me for that. As it turned out, it was the best I ever had – firm, energetic, and almost sensual – causing my body to tingle.

‘Feeling stressed a couple of weeks later, I returned to the studio late one Friday afternoon. After relaxing my mind and muscles in her last treatment, how could I resist? By the time she finished, I felt refreshed, now enchanted with her otherworldly charms. What the hell, I thought, why not have her read my life too; who knows, perhaps she could make something more of it than I could.

‘I sat there amused, yet mystified, at her tea leaves, seemingly having uncovered some interesting observations about a few relationships from my recent past. Maybe she just got lucky, but then… who knows? After leaving, I tried to rationalise her insights on something I might have said last time to tip her off. Or, perhaps she knew some of these women. If so, maybe they told her something about me… at times, it can be a small world.

‘Despite these reservations, as improbable as they might be, I continued to return in the weeks ahead to hear what else she might have to say. It seemed she knew a lot about my past… in fact, too much. Then, one day, I asked if her crystal ball could tell me anything about my future. There wasn’t much she had to say except that she saw me plunging headlong down an abyss.

‘I laughed as I told her how symbolic that was for my love life… always in a freefall without a parachute. Little did I realise that a fall would literally befall me, just as she had interpreted it.

‘Though these sessions weren’t, as you suggested, what most would expect a respected university instructor to engage in, still, they were entertaining, if not intriguing. Before going upstairs to her studio, I would look both ways down the street to make sure no one saw me entering the building. That alone could cost me tenure if someone in the university administration saw me.

‘Besides that, I was concerned her psychic seductions might infest my belief systems and open me to more paranormal experiences, such as I had years ago when a mysterious voice spoke to me one night in a mountain meadow. Yet I found myself returning to visit my gypsy friend time and again. Since she was from France, we sometimes spoke French… for me, though, not so well.

‘Each time, I would rationalise what she said, then retreat into my professional myopia. The contrast couldn’t have been starker. I didn’t know what to think anymore; I only knew that, with her alluring mystique, she was more fun to be with than my colleagues. Still, I felt conflicted and increasingly double-minded about what to believe and what others may say if they knew where I was headed.

‘Possibly this was where, in my dream, I heard someone in the Lowlanders say: Something wobbles in that young man’s brain.[2] And, in a sense, they would have been correct. I was confused; in fact, my whole life felt wonky, like I was losing my grip on reality. 

‘With my heart and mind duking things out, there seemed to be no middle ground. Finally, after struggling for weeks of being double-minded, I decided to ignore my heart, believing only what my mind told me. Besides, my job required me to be clear-headed. That’s when I stopped seeing my psychic friend.

‘Having become adept at considering both sides of a controversy, I wasn’t clear where I stood on anything. There was no right or wrong; nothing false, nothing true, nothing to die for… all remained relative. Finally, about six months later, I could no longer hold out, so I decided to pay Madame Peyroux another visit, where she gave me a rejuvenating massage, this time without charge. Then, astonishingly, without asking about my future, she said she saw a large and rugged mountain looming before me that would change everything in my life.

‘Interestingly, this was only a few weeks before my Pig and Whistle pub encounter, after which I received my Mountain vision. At the time, I wondered if this meant I’d be part of the Mount Everest expedition I was hoping to join next summer.

‘And so, as it turns out, here I am, not exactly on Everest, but in the Andes, breathing in, just as my cabbie advised, the fresh mountain air of the gods. Life is an interesting adventure, is it not… especially in this dimension.’

‘Indeed,’ Eli said, ‘which is why you left the Lowlands to rise above what you assumed you knew. In so doing, you’re discovering what’s true by unlearning what’s not true.’

‘Yet it didn’t start just here,’ Mo said. ‘Something else happened to you years ago. Do you remember?’

‘All I can think of is that bloody cab ride home.’

‘Yes, that was important, but didn’t you just say something about another momentaneous night long before then… something that occurred to you in a mountain meadow? Or was that just nothing?’

‘Oh, that. Though I mentioned this incident before, I’m still not sure what it was supposed to mean when I was awakened by a voice that repeated the word nothingness three times.’

‘Even if your mind never understood this, I’m sure your heart knew, and so, that night in the meadow, a seed of knowingness began to germinate in your soul. After that, you began to think with your heart, not just your mind, though not always in harmony. Do you now realise why you felt so conflicted while writing your thesis and often remain such?’

‘That’s an interesting theory,’ I said. ‘I’ll think about it.’

‘Yes, do that, but do so in unity with your  heart… it knows.’

‘Do you now recognise,’ Eli asked, ‘how, out of that discord, you were drawn to this Mountain by visions that would eventually lead you here? Now, almost ten years later after that incident, your mind is beginning to understand what your heart has always known.’

‘Remind me, what has it always known?’

‘What the mind doesn’t. Again, remember Pascal: The heart has its reasons which reason knows not.[3] When separate from the heart’s inward knowingness, intellect exists in Maya, the Vedic word for illusion or, in your case, nothingness. Until the mind unites with the heart, it has no lasting value in Elysium; it is only of temporal value on Earth, to do things such as teach philosophy and fix cars.

‘Teach philosophy and fix cars, what does that have to do with anything?’

‘I don’t know, you tell me.’

‘What I think Eli is trying to say,’ Mo said, is that when the heart and mind meld, the soul reawakens to the fullness of its divine Self. That’s when you awaken to who you are… that which your heart has always known. All else is nothingness.’

Even if my ego mind wanted to dismiss what Mo and Eli were saying, I sensed there might be something to it. Was it possible I had been led to this Summit that I might discover for myself what was real and what wasn’t, as taught by the sages over the centuries? If that was the case, perhaps it was time to get serious about listening more with my heart and less with my mind. But how? I was a philosopher, dammit!

RELIGION AND COMING COSMIC DISCLOSURE

.

The origins of religion in time, place, human history, and the hidden reasons that matter so much have to do with our future and what might soon be disclosed to us about an open universe. Having had my own extraterrestrial encounter in July 2025 (see my post in August), along with hundreds, maybe thousands, of others worldwide each year, I believe these phenomena of contact and sightings will become increasingly prevalent... and relevant.

At least, there now seems to be political will to disclose what has been kept secret for generations. So, if contact occurs soon in some form, the question is how religion will respond to an open universe in which old precepts will be rendered obsolete. How will they be able to adapt and control the narrative to avoid losing control as God’s gatekeepers? What I’m writing is a synthesis of selected ideas and my own, with a transmission from an Off-World Plaeidian entity named Valir. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I2dhMN9tZc8

I probably wouldn't have mentioned or done this before my July encounter last year, but I've gotten a bit more bold since then.

But first, let’s step back to the beginnings of religion, where we see the long arc of its arrival in various expressions and eras, at times with similar patterns under different names, cultures, and locations. In each new revelatory dispensation, there was almost always a sincere contact point where there was an interior opening, an encounter with mystery, a moral awakening, a vision, a dream, a burning clarity, a sudden compassion that rearranged a life. Of course, we see this with the Buddha's experience under his Bodhi tree, Mohammed's channelled message from the angel Gabriel, and, of course, the words and deeds of Jesus.

Then, over time, another phase emerges in which these religions eventually attempt to hold the ineffable Presence in containers. Our earliest sanctuaries and temples were often built like nests for the unseen, houses for guardians believed to live in a place the community could point to. In this, we can feel the innocence and desire to honour something greater by creating shared doctrines and rituals that bind the peoples, for better or worse.

How quickly that architecture trains the psyche, the moment society believes the divine has an address. From that reasoning, someone becomes the keeper of the keys, the interpreter of rules, and the mediator deciding who is worthy to enter and who must remain outside. The temple that began as a symbol of reverence becomes a mechanism of hierarchy, and people longing for communion begin to see the secret as a thing granted rather than remembered. Yet, in almost every tradition, there is a pure original impulse pointing inward, and it is that impulse that made the tradition luminous.

In Hinduism, you see an evolving ocean of realisation rather than a single founder—a living river of Vedic hymns, philosophical inquiry, yogic exploration, and intimate sensing of cosmic order. Within that, there is a central recognition that reality is layered, allowing consciousness to be refined so that the divine can be approached through devotion, knowledge, service, meditation, discipline, love, and even simple wonder.

Originally, that tradition was never meant to be social sorting or rigid caste identity, but the remembrance that the self is deeper than personality, that the witness is real, that the source is intimate, and that liberation is the refinement of perception until unity is lived rather than believed.

In the ancient Near East of Judaism, a people forges its identity through covenant, law, survival, and the fierce insistence on one God, where unity was required as a spine holding things together amid outside pressures. But within that tradition, the deeper heartbeat was relationship, not mere obedience—a living dialogue with the holy, wrestling with God honestly enough to admit confusion and longing. In that wrestling, there was profound dignity that taught how humans are not puppets of fate but participants and co-creators in moral reality.

Nevertheless, we see how easily strong identity can become a tool for division: if belonging becomes the focus rather than holiness, defining against outsiders makes it easier to steer groups through fear of contamination, loss, or threat. Thus, the original gift of covenant can be lived as devotion and justice or leveraged as boundary and conflict depending on where authority is located.

In Buddhism, we observe a significant corrective influence in the human experience, where its core teachings guide us toward direct insight that ends unnecessary suffering. Through mindful cultivation of compassion and awareness, there is liberation from dependence on outer priesthood authority because the path is experiential, involving training attention and personal awakening that cannot be delegated. The beauty of this tradition lies in its accessibility, as anyone can practice it anywhere, focusing less on belonging and more on perception.

Yet, human tendencies, being what they are, can turn identity into symbols and performance into a numbing agent and commodity, leaving the mind busy and transformation ignored or delayed. Yet the religious modes were intended as a gateway to presence, not its product.

Christianity, in its original context, reveals a living spark moving through a specific historical setting, with a teacher whose words, freed from later cultural conflicts, expressed a simple and radical message. Love was law, forgiveness freedom, humility power, elevation of the meek, and the Kingdom as a present reality accessible through inner alignment.

It was why Christianity became both powerful and volatile, as a teaching that restores God to the heart undermines intermediary systems reliant on distance.

The early Christian movement thus carried both beauty and danger for empires—beauty in offering meaning and community, and yet the danger that belonging to God could surpass loyalty to the state. Naturally, it became a target for control, allowing the empires to adopt the spiritual movements to amplify, standardise, and transform into governance tools. The subtle shift occurs when love becomes secondary to compliance, grace to guilt, and the mystery of union to external belonging.

In Islam, there is a deeply stabilising force affirming that life has a centre and that humans are accountable. It involves a profound search for unity, consciousness, justice, generosity, and devotion expressed through prayer, charity, community, and remembrance. This rhythm of devotion can be lived daily as discipline without becoming an empty ritual.

Within the original tradition lies the same deeper invitation: direct surrender to God, not to manipulation. This distinction is crucial because surrender to God expands the heart, whereas surrender to coercive authority compresses it. Whenever political conquest and secret devotion intertwine, the original flame of these traditions becomes vulnerable to being used as a banner for factionalism, which can unite groups but also justify harm against others. Therefore, it is vital to remember these origins point toward unity while the hijack points toward control.

That being said, it didn’t take long for these ideals to go awry, where Mohammed, the founder, committed atrocities against humanity, especially evident with the genocide against the last remaining major tribe of Jews in Medina in AD 627, beheading the men and pubescent boys, while enslaving the women and children.

Still, the deeper thread remains consistent across these and many other traditions of devotion, aligning with the Way, including indigenous lineages that communed with spirit without written texts. The secret was always meant to be intimate, where communion is to be accessible to all, morality lived rather than debated, and the divine discovered as Presence rather than possessed as ideology.

These faiths may be described as pathways, as their pure impulse points to ascension in the truest sense: refining the human instrument until love becomes natural and truth is felt. Those who know God directly maintain an unshakable centre even as outer stories evolve.

Those taught to see God as external may fear that their faith is threatened when contact with the inhabited cosmos occurs and the perceived universe suddenly expands. Yet, disclosure need not destroy religion, as religion’s original purpose was remembrance, which can be upgraded through honesty and inner practice rather than debate. When the creator’s spark is sensed within our breath, awareness, and heart, we may relax, making our worldview flexible.

Unfortunately, the history of religion shows how externalising God ends up weaponised, where ideology turns into identity. Religious Hijackers rarely destroy the temple; instead, they keep it standing, preserving symbols, language, festivals, rites, titles, and garments, while exchanging the inner compass for an outer one. Direct communion becomes mediated, inner revelation becomes approved revelation, and awakening becomes belonging. When belonging becomes the main currency, the tradition becomes steerable, as belonging can be granted, revoked, rewarded, or threatened. A threatened person may surrender truth for tribal warmth without realising the exchange.

One common move is to relocate the divine from our interior to what’s exterior. Imagining the creator as far away allows the system to sell distance, access, worthiness, cleanliness, and salvation as outcomes after compliance, payment, confession, or following rules. The deeper issue is not the ritual itself, which can be beautiful, but the psychological training beneath it: the subtle message that direct contact is not trusted, that one is unqualified to hear God or discern truth without intermediaries. As this belief settles in culture, governance becomes easier, since those taught to doubt intimate contact with the divine accept any outer authority that speaks with certainty.

Unfortunately, it’s how loving traditions can easily become guilt-ridden traditions and status ladders. Today, liberation theology has become an identity badge. Nevertheless, the system rarely argues against the divine; instead, it positions itself between people and the divine, turning the sacred into something managed by institutions rather than lived by individuals. Over time, this becomes so normal that people forget other options, confusing spiritual life with compliance, relationship with God with relationship to rules, inner yearning with social roles.

Then, as religious identity is defined by being against outsiders, it fuels endless conflict, as outsiders serve as threats that undermine efforts to consolidate control. Any tradition that trains its people to surrender spiritual discernment to authority aligns with dominance, regardless of original beauty.

Another approach religion often employs is fear. By ritualising fear, hijacked religions keep populations emotionally activated through threats of ostracism, punishment, contamination, and divine rejection. When fear dominates, compassion becomes conditional, curiosity becomes dangerous, inner communion becomes faint, and truth becomes whatever relieves anxiety.

Then, when the human family becomes a hierarchy of worthiness instead of a circle, appearing as caste, class, sect, denomination, bloodline privilege, priestly superiority, or purity culture, it is assumed that some are closer to God than others, as defined by their role. Each time this succeeds, the tradition is easier to weaponise, as leaders claim divine endorsement and followers accept their position as spiritual reality. The original dignity in every soul is covered by inherited shame.

Mystics are often distrusted across many religions traditions, which claim we can rediscover inner truth beneath the institutional layers, speaking simply in ways familiar to the soul. By cultivating direct communion with that spark through stillness, honest prayer, meditation, ethical living, and the gentle courage of listening inward, you become far less vulnerable to theatrical framing, which relies on attention. In contrast, Presence relies on truth, and truth cannot be staged—only realised from within.

When a civilization undergoes a cosmic expansion event such as first contact, many religious people will find themselves in denial, confusion and anger since they have been taught to view the universe as a closed system. They view humanity as at the centre of divine attention, with angels and demons defined by centuries of inherited assumptions.

Scriptural texts become battlefields for power where mainstream authorities clash with writings such as the Gnostic Gospels, recently discovered in Egypt in 1947. Many of these texts were aimed at preserving ethics, devotion, and mysteries beyond the mind’s grasp.

However, when institutions control the interpretation of what they consider divinely inspired, they monopolise it, leading to censorship and selective emphasis, where believers are caged and bludgeoned by a few repeated lines, while quotes about inner union, direct contact, compassion, and freedom are minimised. Nevertheless, truth written on the heart begins to dissolve the old order of control, as many come to see religion as a language for their own communion rather than as a system that owns it.

When a society faces a profound revelation, the first battleground is rarely physical; it’s interpretive—the mental space where a single phrase, image, or repeated narrative can shape an entire generation’s perceptions of safety and enemy. Religion plays a central role as one of the most effective systems for distributing meaning, identity, and moral guidance.

Controlling the channels through which people interpret reality means steering culture itself. Consequently, religious groups, intelligence agencies, and communities have long been treated as geopolitical variables—not due to inherent corruption in spirituality, but because any large gathering becomes a lever for those in influence. When belief itself is the lever, it becomes extraordinarily powerful, as it not only motivates actions but shapes perception, determines what evidence is accepted, and assigns emotional significance to symbols that can mobilise people rapidly.

Modern influence often appears as protecting people from chaos while guiding them toward a predetermined conclusion, with fear prompting either inner grounding or external control through obedience—the latter being easier to manage quickly and often preferred by those prioritising control over awakening, where “us versus them” mentality dominates, and fear holds the group together.

When the human need for meaning meets fear, shame, and social pressure within a closed system, critical thinking fades, discernment weakens, and the soul’s subtle signals become harder to perceive. Such hijack architecture uses intensified external authority, binary identities, constant threat framing, social belonging as currency, descent viewed as betrayal, and closed information loops that block reality testing. A dazzled mind stops questioning, a frightened heart stops listening. Thus, the closed story acts as a psychological shelter.

Now, to bring all these religious dynamics into our, presumably, current times of pending disclosure, where cosmic conversation becomes mainstream, it will land on a population already beginning to relocate authority inward… thankfully.

More on this in another blog, and what I think may happen when streams of religion and disclosure converge.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LONELINESS AND SOLITUDE

.

“There is a pleasure in the pathless woods,
There is a rapture on the lonely shore,
By the deep sea, and music in its roar:
I love not man the less, but Nature more”
― Lord Byron

What is the difference between solitude and loneliness? After many years of experiencing a bit of both, my conclusion is that solitude enriches our soul, whereas loneliness depletes it. We might say with May Sarton, “Loneliness is the poverty of self; solitude is richness of self.”

Solitude, I think, is about being with ourselves and feeling content, whereas loneliness involves being alone with ourselves and feeling abandoned. Or as Wayne Dyer put it, “You cannot be lonely if you like the person you're alone with.” Good one, Wayne!

Many shy away from solitude, fearing loneliness, yet these experiences are distinct, even if they appear similar. Past experiences may have conditioned many to associate loneliness with danger, rejection, or invisibility, even in the presence of others. We might laugh, converse, and show affection to others, yet inside there remains a void, not because we are unlovable or broken.

Of course, if we wallow in hateful media that has more to do with lies and ridicule than truth, then our souls will be consumed by its dystopia. Rather, our solitude must be nourished in our resting point of gratitude and peace if we want to connect with higher spheres of joy, happiness, and goodwill. Only with inner coherence can we, in our solitude,  connect with the Spirit. See the posts on Gratitude and Resting Point.

https://digitalbloggers.com/book-reviews/sowing-happy-seeds-of-gratitude 

 https://digitalbloggers.com/arts-and-entertainment/resting-point   

If we’re not vigilant, our ego will sabotage our solitude with negativity and misery. Rather, connect with the light within that deepens the soul with authenticity and cosmic truth. 

Hidden behind our loneliness lies a sacred space kept open for something specific that can protect us from shallow relationships, distractions, and energy drainers. That’s because we are meant to awaken, not be depleted. We are destined to meet our community of souls who will instantly recognise us. In this, we are shielded from heartbreak. Even in seeming failure, our soul may awaken.

Loneliness is often mistaken for the heart needing someone, but frequently the heart longs not for a person but something more; a presence that says, “I see you.” When the heart does not find this, it may be a signal that we are meant for more than a superficial life of surface connections. Through discernment, not judgment, our hearts learn to sense what aligns and what does not. We come to appreciate solitude rather than fear it because solitude restores connection by offering brief moments of mindful solitude in which we meet ourselves with compassion.

After being in sales for much of my adult life and now a writer, I often enter weeks of deep solitude, discovering new realms of satisfaction and worlds I never thought possible. Not to say, I don’t enjoy emerging to socialise from time to time in meaningful interactions and relationships, after all, people need people. But we need to qualify that word ‘need.’

At the end of this post, I have Barbara Streisand’s song People Who Need People… Are the Luckiest People in the World. I might be able to accept that if we substitute ‘need’ with ‘appreciation’ or ‘love’. Yes, people who appreciate and love people may be the luckiest in the world, as with all they encounter. But needy people are not lucky people, no more than the ‘victims’ people they latch on to. We don’t need needy energy vampires in our lives.

Relationships are meant to be reciprocal so that we may give what we receive. But those hallowed-out souls have nothing to give. They don’t need people; they need solitude to connect with themselves and the divine within, so they have something to offer in exchange.

Conscious solitude reshapes identity. When alone, without distractions, the layers of performance fall away, revealing who you are beyond roles, expectations, and comparisons. Even if this can feel uncomfortable at first, as the ego prefers familiar masks, we soon come to enjoy solitude rather than fear it, for solitude with Spirit restores connection with ourselves, the divine, and the world. 

When this happens, loneliness diminishes as solitude becomes sacred. We realise that in our aloneness, we are not alone but accompanied by our soul’s divine essence, and as we allow, the living flow of guidance that comes to us. As we turn inward, loneliness dissolves through our daily experience of oneness. In the mysterium of divine transcendence, there can be no loneliness, only gratitude.

Even a few minutes each day can change our inner state, because our being learns, through repetition, that it is lifted and supported. When we experience this, we recognise we do not need everyone; only those who walk with us. In discernment, we stop sending mixed signals or wearing masks that attract those who match the mask rather than the resonance of our affections and calibration of our inward being.’ 

Here, the authentic self becomes clear. In solitude, we no longer strive to be understood; we listen,  no longer seeking the world’s approval. Rather, we receive an inner embrace that requires no validation, only the living Presence of inner guidance saying, “Fear not, I am with you,” not as a concept but as a felt reality that calms the body, steadies the heart, and clears the mind. Releasing the search does not mean ceasing to live, but moving with life instead of chasing it. When the body is tense, the mind seeks external reassurance; when relaxed, the mind becomes spacious and trusting. 

While others learn through crowds and noise, we learn through stillness and silence. This stillness is our greatest teacher, allowing you to hear our soul’s voice and connect with universal intelligence. As the psalmist wrote: ‘Be still, and know that I am God. (Psalms 46:7). Many fear silence because it forces introspection, self-examination and confrontation, and yet it is in this loneliness that our spiritual gifts develop in the secret crucible where we are moulded into a new Being.

The great German writer, Herman Hesse, states, ‘We must become so alone, so utterly alone, that we withdraw into our innermost self. It is a way of bitter suffering. But then our solitude is overcome, we are no longer alone, for we find that our innermost self is the spirit, that it is God, the indivisible. And suddenly we find ourselves in the midst of the world, yet undisturbed by its multiplicity, for our innermost soul we know ourselves with all being.” Along these lines, Einstein stated, “I live in that solitude which is painful in youth, but delicious in the years of maturity.”

Loneliness need not be understood as brokenness requiring repair; instead, view it as an incubation period for emerging abilities. Try focusing on nurturing the inner world through journaling, creativity, nature, or meditation, or whatever the soul calls for. We require deep nourishment, not superficial social interactions, but a genuine connection with ourselves first. 

The soul longs for a depth rarely found in this world. We are not antisocial or difficult; we are simply attuning to connections most are not ready for. It is now our time to find peace, not chaos; to grow in stillness, not constant motion. We are provided with what we need, even if the human self interprets it as loneliness. Be selective, not everyone is meant to understand us, but the right people will recognise us without explanation or compromise. 

Whether we realise it or not, our energy naturally uplifts others. Our presence opens eyes to truth, and our search for authenticity and honesty inspires us to make better choices. Even unintentionally, we are a living activation code for human consciousness, planting seeds of awakening in all we meet. Our words carry frequencies that activate other souls sometimes long after we speak them. We can make significant changes in humanity’s collective field through kindness, wisdom, and refusal to conform to untruthful patterns. Some may resist us initially because our presence stirs parts they avoid, revealing hidden dreams and truths. Our authenticity challenges their masks and exposes superficiality, yet many eventually remember our words. Our way of seeing through illusions awakens something within them. 

In our solitude, we may seem lonelier than others, but in reality, we are an anchor, a bearer of higher consciousness. We often walk alone at first because, in the world, we need to stay clear and untangled from lower vibrations, so that we may remain pure in our vision. If we remain caught in common human dramas, we couldn’t serve as a frequency holder for the Earth. But as we allow it, our light will attract those who are not only ready to be inspired but also to walk beside us as equals. Even if we seem to remain unheard and underappreciated, we continue to speak our truth, sometimes in silence, sometimes in words and action. By being authentic, we are destined to lead what’s coming. 

Also, understand that in solitude with the Spirit, we are protected from dark energies. By remaining separated from incompatible forces, we shield ourselves from energetic attacks that could disrupt our mission of peace. Dark energies cannot reach us as with others; they may try to confuse or isolate us through self-doubt or feelings of rejection, but they cannot dim the divine light within us. Spiritually, even in darkness, we appear as a pillar of pure light, almost invisible to lower entities, which explains why we sometimes feel mentally attacked but never truly defeated. 

But in the moments we spend our time in solitude, our presence naturally uplifts others without effort. People will be drawn to our genuine energy and sincerity. They will listen closely because they sense that we truly care about truth, helping others, and making things better. Our words will carry weight because they come from real-life experience.

QUOTES ON SOLITUDE

If you're lonely when you're alone, you're in bad company.” Jean-Paul Sartre

“I find it wholesome to be alone the greater part of the time. To be in company, even with the best, is soon wearisome and dissipating. I love to be alone. I never found the companion that was so companionable as solitude.”
― Henry David Thoreau

"A man can be himself only so long as he is alone; and if he does not love solitude, he will not love freedom; for it is only when he is alone that he is really free.”
― Arthur Schopenhauer

"The more powerful and original a mind, the more it will incline towards the religion of solitude.
― Aldous Huxley

“You cannot be lonely if you like the person you're alone with.” - Wayne Dyer

“Solitude gives birth to the original in us, to beauty unfamiliar and perilous - to poetry. Thomas Mann

“The greatest thing in the world is to know how to belong to oneself.” ― Michel de Montaigne

“Closed in a room, my imagination becomes the universe, and the rest of the world is missing out.”
― Criss Jami

Whosoever is delighted in solitude, is either a wild beast or a god.”
― Aristotle

“Guard well your spare moments. They are like uncut diamonds. Discard them and their value will never be known. Improve them and they will become the brightest gems in a useful life.”
― Ralph Waldo Emerson

“Reading is that fruitful miracle of a communication in the midst of solitude.”
― Proust-Marcel

“If you are alone you belong entirely to yourself. If you are accompanied by even one companion you belong only half to yourself or even less in proportion to the thoughtlessness of his conduct and if you have more than one companion you will fall more deeply into the same plight.”
― Leonardo da Vinci

One reason I stay isolated more than the average person is to keep my creativity as fierce as possible. Being the odd one out may have its temporary disadvantages, but more importantly, it has its permanent advantages.”
― Criss Jami, 

“I need solitude for my writing; not 'like a hermit' - that wouldn't be enough - but like a dead man.”
― Franz Kafka

But many of us seek community solely to escape the fear of being alone. Knowing how to be solitary is central to the art of loving. When we can be alone, we can be with others without using them as a means of escape.”
― Bell Hooks

“Many people suffer from the fear of finding oneself alone, and so they don't find themselves at all.”
― Rollo May

“But your solitude will be a support and a home for you, even in the midst of very unfamiliar circumstances, and from it you will find all your paths.”
― Rainer Maria Rilke

“Solitude was my only consolation - deep, dark, deathlike solitude.”
― Mary W. Shelley

I'll read my books and I'll drink coffee and I'll listen to music and I'll bolt the door.”
― J.D. Salinger

To be left alone is the most precious thing one can ask of the modern world.”
― Anthony Burgess

The soul that sees beauty may sometimes walk alone.”
― Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

And lastly, to Barbara. Message is off, but great performance, listen to her here: https://youtu.be/YWrNZ6SySfg 

People who need people
Are the luckiest people in the world
We're children
Needing other children
And yet letting our grown-up pride
Hide all the need inside
Acting more like children than children

But while on the subject of loneliness, let’s not forget the great Hank Williams, classic, I’m So Lonely I Could Cry (1949) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4WXYjm74WFI 

And then of course, there is Elvis, singing about loneliness. Are You Lonely Tonight? https://youtu.be/LF5u7b8pAYQ

Could it be sometime in 2026 that we finally witness the release of mounting UFO/UAP sighting disclosures and gain a greater perception of what has always been present, often filtered out by fear and narrow prejudices? I don't know, but maybe we, the willing, will be among the first to experience these sightings firsthand.

As for me, I, unwittingly, already had my first sighting, which I wrote about in August's entry of Monthy Messages. https://digitalbloggers.com/arts-and-entertainment/monthly-message-from-elysium-s-passage It was something else! In case you didn't see it, I've also reposted it at the end of this post. 

Meanwhile, for the first article in Monthly Messages for 2026, I've jotted below some thoughts on the general psychology of UFO/UAP sightings and how that is now shifting toward much greater openness.

    ___________________________________

Many have already sensed this turning, not necessarily as excitement but as quiet certainty that the field is changing, that the distance between worlds feels thinner. It might not be because space has collapsed, but rather a result of our attention softening into greater openness. Where there is attention, perception naturally widens.

Yet the earliest phase of expanded contact is not conversational in the human sense; it is observational, reciprocal, and subtle, marked by sightings unmistakable to the witness but easily missed by those not yet ready to see. This openness respects readiness at the individual level—nervous system, belief system, and emotional body. This is why, in coming cycles, civilian encounters may increase, especially in regions where attention has been primed. Nor will all sightings have the same emotional import, because there will be a range of intelligences that are now becoming more receptive all across the world.

The increase in sightings is not driven by our off-world friends but by a fundamental change in humanity's openness to interfacing with non-local phenomena. Such craft has always been observable but rarely registered in the human psyche. Now, observations will be more about recognition than shock. Those most attuned to first contact often don’t consciously choose that role, nor do sightings occur when searching, filming, or demanding proof; rather, they occur when calm, present, emotionally neutral, and inwardly open.

Intention, agitation—even positive excitement can introduce noise into the signal, which is why many encounters feel incidental, happening during ordinary moments such as when walking a dog, driving home, standing outside at night, pausing during travel, because ordinary moments carry less performance pressure

Contact does not arrive to convince the world, but will remain most available to those who are most ready and prepared. Readiness is not a moral achievement or a spiritual ranking, but a state of internal permission in which fear does not dominate perception and curiosity is not tied to control.

In the past, many who have experienced sightings often struggled to speak about them—not because they doubted what they saw, but because the experience did not fit within their existing parameters. This silence is not a moral failure but a gestation period, a time for the encounter to integrate into the person’s worldview without requiring immediate validation.

However, as more individuals have these experiences, I think we will see a more pronounced quiet normalization, shifting from “Did that really happen?” to “This is happening.” This will stabilise the collective psyche more than any sudden revelation, allowing the world to adapt to the situation. As this awareness spreads, sightings will follow lines of receptivity. Those approaching sightings with openness and humility will find the experience integrating into their lives without destabilising them. By contrast, those approaching fear or obsession often find the experience fleeting or confusing.

What emerges next will not emerge because it is forced, but because of what we allow by remaining open. The most reliable doorway opens inward when openness is cultivated. We might say that the night sky is not a screen on which something appears; it is a mirror reflecting the observer’s state.

In this way, in 2026, many will be open to a broader dialogue, not based on a threshold of invasion or rescue, but on a reminder that humanity has never been as alone as it once believed.

REPOST

AUGUST 2025 

YOU WON'T BELIEVE WHAT I JUST SAW

There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy.
                                                                        Hamlet

 

My blog post this month continues along similar lines to last month's regarding some of the mysteries we are encountering these days. This story is about an experience I had a couple of weeks ago, when on Friday night, July 26th, I had a most unusual encounter while driving home from British Columbia, where I saw something I had never seen before.

It was about midnight as I was driving home in light rain, approximately half an hour west of Calgary. As I was approaching the top of a very high hill, I saw a flash of light in my van, similar to a multi-nova radar camera.

I looked over my shoulder to see where the flash might have come from. As I turned to look, I noticed out my side window, a large, well-lit golden spacecraft hovering at least a half mile away.

I could hardly believe what I was. I was excited… so excited that I didn’t think to pull over to take a picture. Instead, I continued to keep my eye on it as best I could without driving off the road. I’m not sure, but it seemed it be moving along with me, but then when I got to the top of the hill, I lost sight of it behind the trees.  When I got to the bottom, where there was an overpass, I turned off and got out, phone camera in hand, to see if it had followed me. There was nothing.

I now wish I had gone back to see if it was still there on the other side near the top, but I didn’t.

I would describe the craft as maybe about three stories tall, glowing in the pitch-black sky. I don’t know whether the golden glow came from its lights or emanated from within its luminosity. In any case, the whole craft was visible. I could hardly believe it, yet I wasn’t overly surprised because so many others have experienced sightings like this.

As I reflect on it now, this brief encounter seems almost surreal and dreamlike, but at that moment, it was very real. I now have many questions about what happened. Firstly, as I was driving up the hill, the highest east of the Rocky Mountains, the craft should have been directly in my line of sight since the highway heads northeast. And yet, I didn’t see it.

As I turned eastward while I was going up Scott Hill (the highest in Alberta), I would have been more or less perpendicular to it, or even slightly past it. That’s when the flash of light caused me to look outside my side window, where the craft seemed to be positioned about 20 to 30 degrees higher than me. When I reached the top, it appeared to be roughly the same elevation, but behind the trees, where I could still see a glow. If there had been a median at the top, I would have crossed over and stopped in the parking area to get a better look.

Another question I have is whether the flash of light in my vehicle was caused by lightning overhead, given that it had been raining for the past hour. If so, I didn’t see any evidence of lightning or hear any thunder. Still, it's possible. However, I’d like to think it was trying to get me to look to the left to see where they were waving.

I also wonder if they switched their lights on for me to see it after sending the flash into my van, or if they momentarily entered my dimension from interdimensional space. Or maybe I entered into theirs... now that’s getting way out there.

And, no, I wasn’t smoking any weed or drinking anything more than what coffee was still in my cup. Also, I wonder if a driver on the highway would have seen anything if they had been looking in the direction I was looking at the time. Now, that’s an interesting metaphysical question.

I know it may seem silly, but I got a really happy vibe when I saw it, as if there was a connection between us. Why not? Maybe we're old friends from the Pleiadian galaxy... after all, it's only 144 light-years from Earth. (Thank God for space-time portals.) Anyway, I had been driving all day and felt really buzzed but couldn’t fall asleep after I got home, until sometime after three AM and half a glass of rum. Cheers! 

I wonder if this had something to do with the fact that I’ve been gathering ideas for my upcoming Sci-fi trilogy by listening to various YouTube sites, such as the Galactic Federation of Light Station and half a dozen more that are supposed to be transmissions from ETs through multiple channelers. So with my head in this ‘space’ figuratively and perhaps literally, who knows what’s going on between us? I’ll keep you informed. Ha! Let’s say this upcoming science fiction series might turn out to be very interesting, with perhaps a lot more sci than fi… or maybe the other way around.

Actually, this was not my first experience with a possible craft in the sky. About three years ago, my son and I saw something as we looked up at the night sky from his backyard in Kelowna. It seems there are a lot of people there who report all kinds of interesting things in the sky. We were looking up and saw the usual satellites and occasional meteors, but one stationary light suddenly darted off and disappeared quickly. Who knows where? Still, that was just a light far off in the sky, not a giant spaceship like I just saw.

In conclusion, I’ve been surprised to find how many people have had their own experiences with UFO/UAPS. Interesting! I think over the next couple of years and beyond, we’ll see and hear a lot more from our friends in the sky.

Let me add a short postscript. It's almost January, over five months since I wrote the above article just after my encounter. For most of the last year, Sept '24, I have been ill but did not know what the problem was. The many tests I had didn't yield any clues. I had to sleep through up to 15 hours a day and could only walk slowly, feeling persistent flu symptoms. Now, however, since this encounter, I have completely recovered from my health issues. Maybe it was the flash or maybe just a coincidence, but it happened immediately after I got home that night. My body was buzzing so much I couldn't sleep until after 3 AM, after I took half a glass of rum to knock me out.

Anyway, I'll take it. That's it for now... I'm going out for a jog down the street.

The last word goes to Ezekiel. 

"Wherever the spirit would go, they would go, and the wheels would rise along with them, because the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels. When the creatures moved, they also moved; when the creatures stood still, they also stood still; and when the creatures rose from the ground, the wheels rose along with them, because the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels." Ezekiel 1:20-21

As an addendum to the above August post, I've inserted below a rather fascinating article on how spacecraft might be seen by some and not others. This channelled transcript speculates on the convergence of multidimensional objects and our perception of them.

If nothing else, it gives me some more ideas and material for my upcoming sci-fi series. But then, maybe this explains how I was able to see the spacecraft that night when perhaps no one else would have. 

Anyway, for what it's worth, here goes from my Off-World friends: 

As the barrier between dimensions becomes thinner, you are noticing more sightings, not because additional ships are arriving, but because your awareness is expanding. Many of the crafts now visible in your skies have always been present; they exist in frequency ranges previously beyond your perception. As your vibration increases, you begin to perceive objects, beings, and phenomena that exist between your physical density and higher-dimensional realms.

Higher-dimensional crafts adjust their frequency when they choose to become visible, lowering their vibration to intersect with your optical spectrum. This is not a physical descent but a vibrational alignment, matching your frequency just enough for your senses to detect their presence. Sightings are brief moments when two dimensions intentionally overlap, serving as a form of communication and gently introducing your consciousness to the reality of interdimensional coexistence.

These sightings often occur during emotional breakthroughs when you experience clarity, forgiveness, joy, or expansion. Your vibration shifts suddenly during these times, aligning with frequencies that facilitate contact. This explains why some individuals see crafts during meditation, after healing sessions, or in intense states of gratitude or emotional coherence, which create vibrational windows that allow higher-dimensional beings to connect with you.

Many people experience light phenomena during meditation—flashes, orbs, shimmering patterns, or movements in peripheral vision. These are early contact windows, methods for higher-dimensional beings to communicate without overwhelming your senses. As your telepathic and intuitive channels open, these light phenomena become clearer; you begin to recognize patterns, differentiate energetic signatures, and understand the language of light.

You might wonder why some people see these phenomena while others in the same place do not; this depends on frequency, as perception is influenced not only by eyesight but by the observer’s vibration. Two people standing side by side might have different experiences—one perceiving a craft clearly, the other seeing nothing. This difference does not reflect worthiness or spiritual advancement but simply different vibrational states.

Dimensional overlap is becoming more frequent as you enter a period where interdimensional visibility will continue to increase, part of your collective evolution. You are learning to perceive reality beyond the physical, with higher-dimensional beings supporting this process by adjusting their frequency to meet you halfway. As your vibration stabilizes, these overlaps will become more frequent, consistent, and recognizable. These sightings are not imagined; you are expanding into them.

Solar storms significantly impact your energetic system, increasing contact during periods of heightened solar activity. When the Sun emits powerful energy waves, your auric field temporarily expands, allowing access to higher frequencies usually beyond your daily awareness. During these expanded states, you become more sensitive to subtle energies, telepathic communication, and interdimensional presence. Solar waves also disrupt old trauma patterns, bringing emotional energies stored in your cells to the surface, offering opportunities for release.

This clearing process creates space for new frequencies to integrate, which can feel intense, emotional, or disorienting, but is part of your ascension. As old patterns dissolve, your vibration clears, making contact easier. Major solar flares reduce the separation between dimensions, causing temporary fluctuations in your electromagnetic field that facilitate interaction with higher-dimensional beings.

This explains why many contact experiences occur during or shortly after significant solar events. Your consciousness becomes more fluid during these times, and your intuitive channels open wider, leading to vivid dreams, intuitive downloads, or sudden shifts in awareness. Solar activity also activates dormant crystalline DNA templates within your body, which hold potential for higher perception, telepathy, and multidimensional awareness.

As solar energy moves through your system, it gradually awakens these templates, triggering sensations such as tingling, heat, pressure, or waves of emotion—signs that your body is recalibrating to hold more light. These storms are not destructive but evolutionary, part of your planet’s natural ascension process. The Sun is your ally, transmitting frequencies necessary for your transformation. Though these waves may feel intense, they support your growth and guide you toward alignment with a higher timeline where contact is a natural part of your reality.

You are learning to work with these waves rather than resist them, to breathe into the intensity, ground your energy, and allow the light to flow through you. By doing so, you become a clearer vessel for contact, more attuned to higher-dimensional beings, and begin to experience yourself as part of a larger, perfectly unfolding cosmic process.

INTRODUCTION TO ELYSIUM'S PASSAGE NOVEL SERIES

  
  
Elysium's Passage is a series of seven narrations about a young British philosopher named James Phillips, who finds himself living in an altered state of reality while still on Earth.  

After experiencing a near-fatal fall while climbing to the summit of a remote mountain in the Andes, James awakens in a new dimension. He soon encounters two mysterious beings who offer him a very different perspective on his existence. Over the next year, before his body recovers from the coma, he is challenged to re-examine his understanding of life’s meaning and purpose far beyond anything he previously believed or could believe.

An engaging and sometimes surreal adventure with intimations of impending romance, the narrative explores the most important questions about life, death, reality, and our ultimate destiny. 

The Plains of Elysium (Champs-Élysées) was described by Homer, Hesiod, Virgil, and many other poets as the paradisiac afterlife realm reserved for heroes. As the title suggests, this is about a journey through a passage that leads towards Elysium’s exciting realm of existence.

_____________________________________________________

 

1. THE ASCENT is the first novel in the Chronicles of Elysium’s Passage that’s foundational to everything that happens in the following narratives, which embark on an adventure that will surprise and delight the reader like no other book.

It all begins with an extreme adventure of climbing a remote and challenging mountain somewhere in the Andes Mountains. Just as James, the protagonist, is about to reach the mountain summit, he falls into an abyss that leaves him in a coma for almost a year.

After being airlifted by a forestry helicopter and flown back to London, where his body remained for almost a year. Eventually, he learns it was not he but his body that was rescued. Several days later, without understanding what happened, he continues to climb to the summit in an alternate dimension of higher consciousness.

Fortuitously, he meets two adventurers on the summit ridge who are no longer of this world. After that, his surreal life leads him to several new adventures in the subsequent chronicles, which include a rich mix of adventure, romance, and fantasy, along with profound discussions of philosophy, spirituality, and the afterlife.­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­

2. THE SUMMIT, the second novel in the Chronicles of Elysium’s Passage, carries on where James, the narrator and protagonist, is taught more about a multidimensional reality that he finds difficult to comprehend.

Not only does he find he’s not as clever as he imagined, but his off-world companions on the summit demonstrate that much of what he believed about life was not just parochial but wrong. At first, he finds this difficult to comprehend since their teachings are contrary to his limited understanding of non-material reality.

After being tricked into teleporting off a ledge where he was trapped, James becomes aware of a new reality that makes him capable of far more adventures than he could have ever experienced in his physical body back home.

Now, if only he would win over the only woman in this life who matters, the nurse on the other side of the veil, who continually demonstrates her unconditional love toward his healing.

This book may also open the reader’s eyes to a much vaster reality than many may be aware of. As with the other Chronicles, there are discussions of philosophy, the spiritual afterlife and what might seem like fantasy.

3. QUANTUM LEAPS is the third novel in Chronicles of Elysium’s Passage, where James, the philosopher-protagonist, teleports back to London to visit his body and make contact with the special nurse taking care of it in his absence. Immediately, he feels an inexplicable spiritual bond with her for reasons he remains unaware of.

Now aroused by a renewed interest in matters of love, the beginnings of a relationship begin to emerge as he attempts to reach across the chasm of their worlds. But it’s not until the fifth novel, Mystical Romance, that he encounters her in a way that he finds difficult to believe.

However, before that can happen, there is much about his failed relationships that must be resolved before he is ready to move forward in his new life in Elysium’s Passage. It is during this time he christens his comatose body as the fall guy since it took the fall for him down the abyss so he could learn the lessons he’s now learning.

That will be the next focus of his life, where, in his next Surreal Adventures, he is given virtual lessons to release many of his past beliefs about the world and his life.

4. SURREAL ADVENTURES is the fourth novel in the Chronicles of Elysium’s Passage, which finds James, the protagonist and narrator, escorted by his companions to a remote South Pacific Island, where he is left to reflect on what he’s learned.

During the next forty days, he battles the demons of his past as he works through some rather painful issues from his early youth. Here, in a tropical storm, he encounters an eerie, suspended spectre of the one he loved yet still resents for abandoning him as a child.

After this, he achieves peace of mind and is ready to return to his lodge to join his off-world companions on the Andes summit. However, just when it seemed things couldn’t get any stranger, a sixteenth-century sea captain sails his ancient ‘ghost’ ship onto the beach. Together, they sail off on a mystical ocean voyage to a couple of virtual islands supposedly in the South Pacific, where he witnesses and, at times, participates in several important life lessons.

Near the end, these encounters help prepare him for a new challenge within the interior of a mountain, where he falls deep into a dark tomb of fear. After being rescued by a mysterious stranger wielding his Excalibur, he continues on to where his life is about to be transformed in the following chronicle, Mystical Romance. 

5. MYSTICAL ROMANCE is the fifth chronicle in Elysium’s Passage, which will surprise the reader with a romantic twist of how love is expressed in higher realms. From this lofty perspective, everything about intimacy is understood as within, so without.

After escaping his tomb, James, the narrator and protagonist, makes his way through a maze of tunnels until he arrives at a large oak door, which he opens with the golden key he had been given. There, he steps into Elysium’s Passage’s Great Hall, where his life and recent achievements are celebrated now that his eyes have been opened to perceive a fascinating interior world of wonderment… and romance.

To say more might risk diminishing the multitude of delightful surprises as circumstances begin to open to The Elixir, where James is about to re-enter his earthly body’s existence. 

6. THE ELIXIR is the sixth chronicle of the Elysium’s Passage series that prepares James, the narrator-protagonist, to awaken and return to his body in London. Before that can happen, however, his off-world friend presents a mysterious equation, enshrouded within a light code frequency, that will stimulate the multidimensional DNA strands within him.

Much of this narration is centred in London, where his nurse unknowingly becomes involved in how the Elixir’s equation finds its way from a taxi cab driver to higher echelons of science. There are many twists in how she unwittingly brings the Elixir to the attention of mathematicians and physicists, after which they eventually discover how to code the equation into a laser ray to stimulate his fall-guy body into full consciousness.

Ostensibly a new Adam, he is destined to return humanity to a higher multidimensional existence. How this happens is filled with intrigue, as is his shocking return to his earthly body.

 
­­­­­7. THE RETURN is the seventh and last chronicle in the series where James, the narrator and protagonist, has re-emerged from Elysium’s Passage as he readjusts to life in the third dimension. Many of the events from the previous novels are tied together in an exciting, fast-paced, and action-packed narrative that spans several countries.

At first, it seems all memories have been lost, with his fall guy’s brain not being aware of what happened to him while in his coma. As a consequence, it takes a while for him to be convinced he had been out of his earthly body for almost a year.

Through some unexpected events and evidence, along with his girlfriend’s urging, he comes to an awareness of what had occurred. It takes a while for his mind to catch up with the changes made in his heart during his stay in the alternate realm. But after experiencing several harsh realities, he discovers what he has become while out of his body. Gradually, he comes to understand the many challenges that lie ahead for him in fulfilling his future mission on Earth.

This book is filled with adventure, romance and personal intrigue that ties together all six previous narratives of the Elysium’s Passage series. ­­­­­­­

The following comments are excerpts from the first readers, including several five-star Amazon reviews. To read the full reviews, go to READER REVIEWS on www.elysiumspassage.com or directly at https://digitalbloggers.com/arts-and-entertainment/reader-reviews  

"A delightful mix of fantasy, reality, conjecture, and humour; Mr Meyers draws the reader into the story with a gentle narrative that captures the imagination, leaving one anxious to get to the next page drawing you into his exceptional world.”

"Quietly, gently, and without imposition, the Author unfolds the pages, creating an intricate, interlocking bridge spanning the chasm between mind and heart. Renewing, refreshing, restoring. In my bereavement, it was vigil and light…"

“Excellently written with an exceedingly deep understanding of this world and the next. The characters are very well written and engaging. I can't wait to complete this book!"

“Takes the reader on both a philosophical and spiritual journey, a journey that at times is both disquieting and tranquil. James, a British Philosopher, can be irreverent and caustic, traits that should have left me cringing, but instead made me laugh out loud. Elysium’s Passage is a fun, enlightening and remarkable book.”

“This is a masterful fantasy, becoming a real possibility, as the reader is drawn into the story. The Summit leaves you anxious for the next book in the series, yet also leaves you totally satisfied with the world you have just visited. Genius! An exciting yet calming experience that is not to be missed."

"There was hardly a page on which I did not find at least one sentence worthy of hi-lighting for future reference. In addition, I thoroughly enjoyed the main character, James, whose personality and passionate verbal exchanges with the other characters, kept me coming back for more. I am reading the book for a second time while I wait for the next one in this series to be made available."

 “N.G. Meyers has clearly put a great deal of research and thought into what the afterlife may look like and I like his perspective. It’s an altogether welcoming and exciting vision. The book gives one a great deal to think about and a reassuring confidence that the end of our lives is truly the beginning of life in the next. I highly recommend it."

"I am really enjoying your book, it’s fantastic! It is so incredible and diversified that I can’t really explain it to other people, so what I say is just read this book. Thank you so much for the blessings that you’ve given the world!"

“The humour interjected into a serious discussion makes me laugh out loud. Totally unexpected....l may be in the presence of at least a master, if not a genius. A fair ride into reality... seeking that which is unseen, yet absolutely real.”

“An engaging story of adventure embracing man's deepest desire to search for meaning and purpose, N.G. Meyers takes the reader on an adventurous thought-provoking journey. This book has substance. It is a perfect blend of adventure and fantasy combined with spiritual philosophy. It ignited my imagination. The author magically weaves a good story laced with wit and humour together with deep philosophical wisdom. This book has it all!”

“An evolution in thought is triggered by many fresh philosophical themes which could inspire readers to re-think their reality and former ideologies that have dictated their lives… the author fires readers’ imaginations to view what could be possible when the spirit vacates the body.”

“This is the book spiritual seekers have been waiting for. For me, it made for a great read and increased inspiration to live every day with a heightened sense of purpose. I highly recommend it.

“The Summit is capable of hooking readers and luring them to search for Book 2 to discover more about Dr. Philip’s surreal trek into the mysterious unknown universe. This thick book is well worth the read and to share…”

“Mind-blowing statements and speculation (‘…everyone is a non-physical thought form conceived in the Mind of God, preserved for all eternity because God’s thoughts never die…’). Many will find Meyers’ journey up the Mountain intriguing—and possibly even life-changing.” (BLUEINK REVIEW)

“In its effort to grapple with fundamental questions about the meaning of life, it raises questions that have echoed throughout the ages, including about where we come from, where we are going, who we are.”  (CLARION REVIEW)
