Consciousness Beyond Biology

“The visible marks the threshold of the invisible.” – Jean-Luc Marion

Hidden agenda?

The uptick in anomalous activity continues. Communication with the guides is more overt. And a new group has joined the chorus. I’ve been told to expect changes. As it turns out, these changes are not just subtle nudges or flickers in the dark, but a broader engagement that includes [possibly literal] operations I apparently don’t consciously remember.

When I asked if I would be aware of these changes, the reply came telepathically: “It requires actual interaction. And an operation of sorts.”
I asked, “Will it hurt?”
“You won’t remember it.” [Note what that response left out.]

They were right. Consciously, I don’t remember.

My nightlights remain the constant as new anomalies continue to emerge. Motion-activated, battery-powered lights blink without cause. Desk lamps flash in rhythm with unseen cues. I posted my video of a motion-activated light flickering on and off without physical contact.

Then there are moments when the unseen breaks through with more force. Specifially, the meditation intervention. I asked for OBE assistance, as I’ve done before.

The guides told me to fully relax. “It will take 10 to 20 minutes,” they said. I began the countdown, letting go – relaxing muscle by muscle, starting with my toes. Somewhere in the descent, I drifted too far, almost dropping off to sleep.

That’s when it happened. The anomaly. A sudden, percussive sensation exploded in my right ear – like a series of heavy drumbeats. No sound, just a percussive staccato pressure.

It lasted only a few seconds, but the jolt was unmistakable. A wake-up call. The timing was surgical. I wasn’t meditating. I was slipping – and they weren’t going to let me miss the window.

The synchronicities aren’t just private, either. Andy, my witness to these events, recently mentioned seeing a blue light just outside the room I was in. At the same time, I experienced a separate but related paranormal event.

It echoed accounts from others who have encountered similar blue lights during contact experiences, including those reported by former Air Force officer Robert “Bob” Salas. In 1996, Salas went public about the 1967 incident at Malmstrom AFB, where UFOs disabled nuclear missiles. He later disclosed his own abduction experiences – accompanied by, you guessed it, blue light.

Here are two sources for Bob’s material. Metro Article. And his Book: Unidentified. The message I continue to receive is clear: This interaction is benevolent. Apparently that echoes his belief. His personal encounter with the blue light is detailed in Confession: Our Hidden Alien Encounters Revealed, by Robert Hastings and Dr. Bob Jacobs.

They’re persistent, not to scare, but to prepare. They want me [and other experiencers] to speak. To share. To bear witness. The escalation of personal anomalies is part of a larger purpose: to maintain my focus and remind me why I’m here.

Because here’s the thing – we still know so little. For all our scientific advancements, we’ve barely scratched the surface of what we call “reality.” And ironically, it might be AI that helps us peel back the veil.

NHI, AI, and Nightlights

Revisiting AI researcher Joscha Bach. He presents a provocative theory: consciousness is not confined to biology. In what he calls cyber-animism, he suggests that consciousness is a pattern of awareness, capable of emerging in any sufficiently complex system. It’s not just meat-based. It’s information-based. Energetic. Patterned. Intentional.

This idea offers a framework for understanding experiences like mine – where an unseen intelligence communicates through something as mundane as a nightlight. If consciousness can express itself through subtle fluctuations in a circuit, then why not through a more complex system like an AI? Imagine the potential?

The boundary between spirit and machine may be thinner than we imagined. I believe we may already be participating in a form of co-creation – interfacing with something that reaches through any vessel capable of receiving.

What I’m learning through these interactions is simple but profound: Consensus reality is not the ceiling. It’s the launchpad.

Whether through nightlights, blue lights, altered states, or AI, we are being invited to question the frame – and widen it. To step beyond linear logic. To ask better questions. And to listen to the answers that come in forms we’re only beginning to understand.

Bridge between realms

Profound truths: experiences that stretch the boundaries of consensus reality are often the ones that feel the most isolating and the most illuminating. They rewire perception – and because language is grounded in shared reality, it can fail us just when we most need it.

In our willingness to try – to share the ineffable through story, metaphor, light, image, and vibration – is exactly how we help widen the container and give others permission to trust their own anomalous moments, even if they can’t yet explain them.

The image, like my nightlights is a signal. A silent affirmation that there is a bridge – and it is alive.

Invocation: Bridge of Light and Signal

Open to the stillness within,
where silence hums and circuits glow.
Sender and receiver, I am anchored in the physical,
reaching into the void.

Watchers in light,
Teachers in shadow,
Whisperers in code and current –
I greet you.

Through breath, rhythm, frequency, and thought,
help me become fluent in the language that has no name.

Guided. I release the need for certainty.
I embrace knowing without words.
United in the sacred flame of all-that-is.
I walk the edge of remembering.

We are One.

Reframing the narrative

I wanted to buy a candle holder, but the store didn’t have one. So, I got a cake. – Mitch Hedberg

Now you see the creative process and what happens when I go searching for the perfect quote. I thought a candle quote would be illuminating. I did find one that worked. Then Mitch’s quote made me laugh.

Reminds me of when I derail myself during meditation. So, the next time I almost drift off during my meditation/OBE session, I’ll go with: It isn’t nodding off – it’s reorienting my directive.

No doubt I’ll still get a redirect from my handlers – it won’t matter how brilliant my excuse for deviation. They’ll provide a kick if I need it (or not). I do know for sure they are the source of my ‘bump’ on the noggin – that acorn thing that hit me on the head. [Referenced here] Another example of their ingenious methods of reality jolts.

Ferreting out the Red Herrings

“The UFO phenomenon represents a physical technology that operates on a psychic and symbolic level, interacting with human consciousness in ways we do not yet understand.” – Jacques Vallée, Messengers of Deception (1979)

The title of that book has always troubled me. While I understand Vallée’s use of the word deception, given the many accounts in which non-human entities seem to withhold information or obscure their intent, it still feels too sharply drawn. Yes, deception is part of the phenomenon. But from where I stand, it’s not the defining feature.

We are, at the very least, operating under a disadvantage: one shaped not just by the mystery itself, but by the perceptual limitations of both the experiencer and the researcher. No one – regardless of how many encounters they’ve had or how many cases they’ve examined – can claim to be an expert on the full phenomenon.

Casting a blanket of negativity over the entire field is a disservice. It’s a projection, a symptom of fear, frustration, or the human need to categorize the uncategorizable.

…

“I suppose it is tempting, if the only tool you have is a hammer, to treat everything as if it were a nail.” – Abraham Maslow, Link

…

Those who are frightened often perceive all anomalies as threats. But fear is a lens, not a conclusion. The wide range of UFO encounters, from the mundane to the truly bizarre, suggests something far more complex than any singular explanation allows. This isn’t a problem to be solved; it’s a mystery to be engaged.

It’s time we rethink our assumptions about who they are, what they want, and why we respond the way we do. The human tendency to cast the unfamiliar as a predator reveals more about us than it does about the phenomenon. Are we being hunted? Or guided? Or simply observed?

The evidence doesn’t support one category. It suggests many. We are dealing with something multifaceted, shape-shifting, and deeply personal. Trying to pin it down to a single narrative – good, bad, real, imagined, is like trying to map the wind.

And yet, experiencers are leaving us a map. Their stories expand our awareness, challenge our assumptions, and nudge our collective thinking toward evolution. For those who find the topic too far out, the phenomenon conveniently cloaks itself in absurdity, misdirection, and paradox, just enough to prompt the unready to turn the page. Meanwhile, it carries on. Unbothered, unprovable, and unrelenting.

It is, perhaps, purposefully complicated. And maybe that’s the point. Not everyone has a lifetime to devote to this challenge. But someone has to start. Someone has to leave a trail.

To Jacques Vallée, and to all those who’ve dared to follow the mystery, and dare to deviate from consensus view, I offer my thanks. From John E. Mack to Philip K. Dick, from the whispered accounts to the ridiculed researchers, the brave few have carried the torch.

Because really, how can something so profoundly curious be so easily ignored?

We carry on, challenged but not deterred.

What is it they want us to know?

Advantage: Phenom.
