As I write, I do not know if this will be published. Also I know, knowing me to some degree, I almost certainly have some semiconscious hope for self glorification.

This lurking sentiment would be good reason to not publish, but if ONE person reads this and gains some benefit, it is worth the risk of subjecting myself to much criticism.

Only the hollowed out man can be refilled with love and truth.

I know only one truly “born again” man. For sake of his privacy, I’ll not mention his name. I know and love him like my son.

I watched him “die” without death of body. When with his mother, he curled up on her couch in the fetal position, clutching his bible.

He was not influenced in any way by UFO/UAP. He was brought to his awakening by his own seemingly regrettable actions, which came back to nearly kill him, but, again, he was saved by his Love of others, the most powerful force we can experience.

There are many ways to experience our “death of self” without literal death. We each all have our paths to follow.

UFO/UAP remains a great mystery, BUT, HAVE NO FEAR. The Destroyer feeds on fear.

I do NOT encourage anyone to seek UFO/UAP experience in hopes of enlightenment. Follow YOUR path, and you will find your way.

It is simply obvious to me, from much research, that UFO/UAP can lead to psychic/spiritual enhancement, but there are many paths, and you have yours.

Back to the one truly “born again” man I know. I watched him through his personal experience. I knew him well before, and even better since his dramatic experience.

He was “resurrected” purely by his love for his family. It was NOT EASY. Death of self never is. He was saved and reborn through unselfish love. He truly is a “new man”, not perfect, but dramatically changed. I know and love him like my son.

His experience confirms my suspicions, judgmental though this is, that the great majority of Christians who proudly proclaim they are “born again” are not.

The research by Harvard psychiatrist John Mack clearly reveals the psychic/spiritual enhancement often involved with UFO/UAP experience. I strongly recommend his books, “Abduction”, and “Passport to the Cosmos”. He tells it all, better than I ever could.

My writing of this article is inspired by Dr. Mack and by

Chris Bledsoe’s marvelous book “UFO of GOD”. Do not let the title put you off. It is a deeply personal book that required courage to write. Please, if you have not read it, do so. With an open mind, you will be well informed.

History is replete with stories of men and women who, usually after quite an ordeal, have come away from their close encounters with the Phenomenon bringing unexpected, unexplained psychic and spiritual enhancement.

Again, this is NOT a reason to seek the experience of the UFO/UAP. If the phenomenon is to be part of your journey, it will come to you, but there are many other paths to awakening, and you with diligent search and patience, will find yours, or rather, it will find you.

Most of us seek the Truth, whatever it may be. Seekers will find their path and their answers.

Having referred you to the sources above, I now wonder what I have to say that could in any way add to what these men have written for us. John Mack and Chris Bledsoe say it all regarding the Phenomenon.

I do not hold your answers. You do, know it yet or not. Follow your heart.

I now think it would be presumptuous for me to attempt to review the insights of Mack and Bledsoe. That being the case, I am taking a time out to read this, and to see if there is any more I have to say.

— — —

I have nothing more to add at this time. If you are truly serious about pursuing your awakening, please read those books, with an open mind. Those books thoroughly address the UFO/UAP phenomena.

— — —

I am comfortable with what I have presented to you. I have removed any excuse for pride.

Bless you in your quest. KNOW that as you step forward, not knowing where your foot will land in the darkness, you do so in the confidence that you are on YOUR path, and you will find your goal.

Again, and lastly, I urge you to not prescribe the path you are to follow out of any recommendations or encouragement of others. Do not seek or pray for UFO/UAP experience, or any other that is suggested to you by others. You have your path before you, see it yet or not. It will reveal itself to you at the proper time.

— — —

Keep walking.

If you find yourself walking through Hell on earth, keep walking, and as with Donte’, down will become up. You will meet your soul at the top of the mountain you are climbing.

Am I yet there? No. But, I am still walking. I will meet you there, in the company of our souls, and the palpable presence of the Source of Truth and Love.
