GLOBAL MINDSHIFT
Planet Earth and the Cosmic Community
Author’s Note: This article is adapted from a piece I wrote 25 years ago. I am posting it now because the general public, and many in the scientific community, are more open to this perspective than in the beginning of the 21st Century. One example is enough to illustrate this.
In September 2003, Trish Corbett and I, through our nonprofit The Mindshift Institute, produced our first Cosmos and Consciousness conference in Rangeley, ME. Our speakers were Harvard-Smithsonian astrophysicist Dr Rudy Schild; Pulitzer-Prize winning Harvard psychiatrist Dr John E Mack; and Apollo 14 Astronaut Dr Edgar Mitchell. The subject of UFOs and ET presence was one of the topics discussed.
However, the speakers were concerned about possible negative consequences to their open discussion of this topic. Dr Mack already had been the subject of a years-long Harvard University Inquisition—in which he was threatened with loss of tenure and loss of his medical license—for taking the subject of UFOs and encounters seriously. But today, a leading astrophysicist at Harvard has a best-selling book called Extraterrestrial and has founded a multi-university international consortium to study UFOs and extraterrestrial life. Many hearings have been held in Congress on this topic. The Pentagon has confirmed UFO reality and released video images confirming this. And NASA has a committee openly investigating the UFO-ET phenomenon.
Slowly, progress has been, and is being, made in the ability to investigate this important subject.
The Mindshift Institute has information, unavailable from any other source, about the connections between possible extraterrestrial energy medicine procedures and resulting shifts in human consciousness that lead to greater concern for the planet, for healing, and for re-connecting with the Life Energy within our bodies and in Nature at large.
This involves a radically new view of the “medical procedures” reported to take place during so-called “alien abductions,” which we prefer to term “encounters.” A new perspective is emerging, suggesting that some procedures involved may have more to do with what we call “energy medicine” than with the type of “alien genetic engineering” program many researchers believe is underway. A profound reassessment of the focus of the interest of the non-human intelligences in human beings and Planet Earth may be at hand.
These energy medicine procedures seem to be connected in some individuals to sudden advances in consciousness and radical, positive changes in lifestyle. Such advances may be required before humanity can be considered for entry into the Cosmic Community, an eventuality that many believe is at the heart of the global effort by the non-human intelligences.
Evidence from individuals who have had encounters with extraterrestrials suggests that some human beings are being helped to re-connect with Nature, inside and outside of themselves. By re-connecting with the Life Energy, over time, humanity itself will be able to return to what it now calls its “Paradise,” its “Home” or its “God.”
The Global Mindshift underway will usher in an entirely new manner of looking at the UFO-ET phenomenon and the reasons for the non-human presence on our planet. The evidence reported by many researchers suggests that there is a deeper truth and reality involved, one far more profound than “government conspiracies” and “alien abductions.”
The most important impact of the activity by the nonhuman intelligences may be that it is causing a mindshift in human consciousness. Human beings are beginning to learn about their true origin and nature; to understand humanity’s place in the cosmos; and to change in such a way that humans can join the Cosmic Community. There is the potential for great joy in this expansion of consciousness and knowledge. And there is the potential for great joy in humanity’s evolving to the point where it can peacefully explore creation with other intelligent life forms.
This author is coming to a somewhat startling conclusion about the UFO-ET phenomenon, namely, that a profound joy of living may be the deepest, and the longest lasting impact, of the intelligent nonhuman presence on Earth. Humanity will slowly begin to reunite with its “lost paradise,” a core element of all religions and philosophical worldviews. This “paradise” is nothing other than direct, immediate contact with the Life Energy of the Universe.
It is this cosmic joy--not fear, pain, inscrutable enigmas and unsolved mysteries--that can come from re-connecting with the Universe. However, humans must make the effort to awaken, open their eyes, and see reality as it truly is: a living universe in which human beings, other intelligent life forms, and living and non-living nature, are all inextricably interconnected.
Conclusion
The UFO phenomenon is global in nature. However, its true scope and significance is unknown to most Americans, who are unaware that UFO sightings and direct ET-human contact take place daily on every continent.
Most Americans now know that the UFO phenomenon is taken very seriously by the United States government (despite its denials). What the US public does not know is that foreign governments and foreign military establishments are equally concerned about UFO reality and ET presence.
The single most important global phenomenon of both the old and the new millennia--human contact with intelligent life from elsewhere--may contribute to the total transformation of humanity that seems to be at its beginning stages today, partly as a result of the presence of non-human intelligences.
Human society, science, and religion will all need to undergo major shifts to accommodate this new knowledge. And, in some ways, this does indeed seem to be happening. However, it is not merely society and its institutions that must change. The psychological character structure of individual human beings the world over will need to change as well. This, too, appears to be occurring now, and to have been occurring over many generations, especially over the past 75 years. Many speculate that this gradual “mindshift” may be part of the “agenda” of the non-human intelligences.
Advances in astronomy, astrophysics, and cosmology are changing humanity’s conception of itself and its place in the Universe. Many people are also beginning to connect ancient energy concepts with modern physical energy models. This newly emerging understanding of energy is becoming more apparent to increasing numbers of people, although the nature of the energy itself is not understood at present.
The UFO-ET phenomenon is basically an energy phenomenon. Because we try to understand this energy through the inadequate tools of mechanistic science and metaphysical-mystical thinking, its comprehension eludes us. However, it is through the study of Life Energy, inside and outside of ourselves, that this puzzling phenomenon eventually will be comprehended.
And it is through the investigation of the Life Energy that we will learn who we really are.
