I had always considered myself a “Seeker of the Truth” and have found it throughout my life, as best I could, through various avenues. But up until the later part of 2019 I’d always been an “agnostic”, if you will, concerning the subject of UFOs and extraterrestrial life. (Oh yes, it’s always been very alluring but nothing I was willing to label as Truth.)

Then something started to happen in the news late 2019. Many in the news were reporting about the admission by the military, finally, that the UFOs are real. There was also the subtle narrative that this UFO presence may turn out to be a threat (which I learned later to be untrue). There were many credible witnesses in the military and convincing video also. This definitely got my attention for the first time in a great many years.

But, for my sake, I’m glad I didn’t stop there. I thought to myself, “If this information is out there now, I wonder what else is available?”  And so I started watching all the of-late documentaries on the subject I could find. A lot was the same old, same old with alien abductions etc, etc.

But a couple were not, and, in particular, the work of one, Dr. Steven Greer. This is where I finally got my eyes opened and could see the truth being revealed and fitting together for the first time. I also came to realize that much (most!) of the info out there in the popular field of ufology has been deliberately designed to breed confusion and fear.

After this revelation, I spent the following week, literally, in an odd state of daze, trying to absorb this life changing information and what it would mean to me and the rest of the world. I concluded that basically I’d have to rethink my entire life.

Since that time, I have devoted a great deal of energy toward learning more about the work of Dr. Greer and what this all means. Recently, I had the awesome privilege of joining Dr. Greer at a week-long CE5 expedition out in the wilderness for more training.

In a nutshell, perhaps the most profound realizations for me have been:

1. The ETs are here. They are real… very, very real!! This has been known by covert military programs and covered up since the 1940s, at least.  In fact it can be documented that this secrecy has been considered above the secrecy of the hydrogen bomb. The evidence of this is now above mountainous and irrefutable. And when you study this, after a while, it becomes clear how they have been able to pull this off for so long and why. It’s time for this to end!!

2. There is NO evidence the ETs are a threat to us. However, there is plenty of evidence that they are very concerned about our behavior here on Earth. The present wave of UFO activity basically began when we started developing nuclear weapons in the 40s. Since then, they have been watching our nuclear warfare capabilities very closely even showing up and shutting down our missile silos here and, in the U.S.S.R., once or more times. The narrative that the ETs are a threat is basically promulgated by the military industrial complex. It is a very organized and expertly exercised misinformation campaign to spread fear of the ETs through staged, alien abductions, scare promotion via Hollywood movies, etc. All with the purpose of getting people to accept the idea that we need to build this powerful, military structure to fight an inevitable interplanetary war.

And why? … Because of a much less exotic motivation, an earthly story we’ve heard over and over throughout the ages of civilization…. the unbounded desire for financial profit and power.  As President Eisenhower said in his farewell address after having lost control of the UFO subject in the military, “Beware of the military industrial complex”.

3. Since they are here it’s unlikely that they just arrived in the 1940s. More than likely, they have been with us for a very long time. Which means many areas of life, history, archeology, philosophy, religious beliefs and so on will need to be reexamined.

4. We can interact with the ETs. In fact, they look forward to this and have been waiting for an appropriate response from us for a long time. Dr. Greer has been able to come up with the Rosetta Stone of contact with extraterrestrial civilizations. Do you consider yourself a spiritual person (I’m not saying religious)?  It turns out the ETs are more spiritual than us and live in a world where spirituality and technology are no longer separate realms but are melded together as one.  The implications of all this are astronomical and will eventually bring us to a new world of unlimited clean energy, the end of war, the end of poverty, the end of racism and xenophobia and the ability to travel to the stars along with our ET friends.  

We are making amazing connections with ETs here in Asheville and are actively working to raise the consciousness of our planet.

We invite you to come join with us in this exciting cosmic adventure!
