I haven’t talked much about abductions, aliens, or disclosure.

Not because I’m not interested. Actually, it’s probably the opposite. It’s one of those topics I’ve kept a little quieter because it can get strange fast, and people either lean all the way in or shut it down completely.

But lately it’s been on my mind again.

I’ve been reading Abduction by John E. Mack, and there was a section that really stood out to me. He talks about experiences that don’t fit neatly into our usual understanding of reality. Time distortion. Consciousness moving outside normal space and time. People describing other realities beyond this one. Beings appearing first as animals.

Over the last couple days I suddenly felt really compelled to study this topic, almost out of nowhere. It’s been eye opening.

I feel like something is shifting right now. Disclosure, aliens, consciousness, contact, other realities. Something bigger than what we usually talk about. And I can honestly feel my own practice wanting to lean into this a bit more, even if I don’t fully know what that means yet.

Last night I went to bed asking for a sign. I assumed it would come in a dream.

Around 1 AM, my white noise machine suddenly shut off. It never does that. The strange part is my wife and I were both awake about a minute before it happened, and we both felt a presence in the room. Then the machine turned off.

Nothing happened afterwards and we went back to sleep. When I woke this morning I knew it was some sign or contact. From what I know with intention and attention- if I put my focus on this topic things will happen. The door opens. Let’s see what comes through …

Now, reading the book Messengers. ( it’s a book on owls- the mysterious part)

Owls have shown up for me in different ways over the years. Not just as a symbol, but sometimes very physically. There have been moments where I asked for an owl to appear, and one did. I’ve also seen spiritual owls in journey work and meditation, and I remember reading about the connection between owls, screen memories, and possible contact experiences. The idea that an owl may not always just be an owl, but could be some kind of messenger or symbolic doorway into something else.

But that’s what makes this subject so interesting to me. It lives in that strange place between the physical, the symbolic, the spiritual, and maybe something beyond all of those categories.

And it brought me back to something personal.

When I was a child, probably between 4 and 7 years old, my mom told me she would sometimes see light coming from underneath my bedroom door. She would open the door and I’d be standing on the bed, staring, almost like I was in a trance.

Then the light would disappear.

I don’t remember any of it. Not one clear memory. But she said it happened more than once.

My mom also had her own unexplained experiences when she was younger. She even wondered later in life if something had happened to her that she couldn’t fully explain.

A few months before she passed away, I was able to do a session with her, and I’m so grateful for that. In the session, she described being around five years old, on a beach with her family, when a light came toward her.

But what she described didn’t sound like the typical “taken onto a ship” story.

It was more like her consciousness was taken somewhere.

She described going to another planet, encountering other beings, and then suddenly being back on the beach with her family, as if almost no time had passed. Like something happened outside normal time. Or outside the body. I don’t know exactly what to call it.

I have had sessions with clients where similar phenomenon has happened.

And that’s the part I keep thinking about.

Maybe some of these experiences are not always physical in the way we imagine. Maybe something else is happening. A shift in consciousness. A contact through trance-like states. Some kind of movement beyond ordinary space and time.

I’m not saying I have the answer. I really don’t.

But reading Abduction and Messengers makes me think there may be more overlap between abduction experiences, spiritual experiences, shamanic journeying, hypnosis, animal messengers, and altered states of consciousness than we usually want to admit.

That doesn’t mean every story is true in the literal sense. It doesn’t mean every experience is what the person thinks it is. But I also don’t think we can just dismiss all of it either.

Some of these accounts carry the same emotional weight I see in deep inner work. The person may not know what happened, but something happened to them. Something changed them.

And maybe that’s where the real mystery is.

Not just “Are aliens real?”

But what is consciousness capable of perceiving when the normal filters drop?

Curious if anyone here has had anything like this. Lights, missing time, strange beings, animal messengers, dreams that felt more real than dreams, or experiences you’ve never fully been able to explain.

I’d genuinely like to hear it.

Even if it sounds weird.

Especially if it sounds weird.
