Discovery in Sedona

Jeri Castronova, PhD

The Discovery Channel arrived this week in Sedona to film one of six episodes on the UFO phenomenon and whether there is a government cover-up. Duh!... At a meeting in which the producer and staff asked a group of 30 Sedonans if they had any experiences with sightings, 95% raised their hands. When asked if they had any face-to-face or on-board experiences, a few hands went up. When asked if they believed the government was involved in a cover-up everyone raised their hands.

Probably no other place is as likely to have flyovers as Sedona, especially now. The sightings have increased purportedly because the galactics want to dispel any fear the public still has. They reported last year that they would show themselves more, and indeed they have. The film company is not from the U.S. It's the British Discovery channel and the program will be part of Animal Kingdom TV airing in June and July.

Rumor has it there's a military base back in the Secret Canyon wilderness area miles from Sedona, where many years ago space ships were seen coming and going. The base is partly underground with an extensive tunnel system. Our local UFO expert, Tom Dongo, was at the Discovery meeting. His extensive research and sightings produced books that are considered the bibles of ET lore in Sedona. Also at the meeting was Dave Schmidt, local radio co-host, who filmed a spectacular UFO in February. The producer interviewed him for the show. Here's the video. His blog site for the radio show is: http://letstalk2013andbeyond.wordpress.com/

My experiences have been mainly sightings in both daylight and night, and dreams of being onboard ships. The most memorable sighting occurred at the end of the Mayan Calendar on December 21, 2012. The worldwide event that never happened seemed to be more a personal occurrence for many. Whether you felt something or nothing, you were impacted by the energies of that most propitious night. I haven't written about it until now. Somehow this seemed the right time.

My encounter was something I didn't expect or plan. After learning the Halls of Amenti would be open for 6 hours the evening of the 20th, local time, a good opportunity to finalize karma, I meditated and sent my consciousness to Egypt. The Halls of Amenti were written about by Thoth in regard to the Emerald Tablets, and are the abode of the seven Immortals who are guardians of earth deep below the Great Pyramid in another dimension.

At the entrance I paused, bowed, and asked permission to enter. After permission was granted, I slowly moved into the light. Wondering at the familiar sensation and if I had been there before in another life, unspoken words seemed to settle over me-"It doesn't matter. Allow yourself to wear the memories in your field, as you wear your body." I don't know how long I was there, nor was I conscious of anything that happened. Then gently floated out with trailings of lightened splendor, such that a baby must feel at the moment of birth.

Returning home, I fell asleep. Then was awakened at 4am on the morning of December 21 and told to go outside. I bundled up, took a flashlight, walked out to the end of the driveway, and looked up. The skies of Sedona are protected by a 'dim lights law.' But this sky was double-dark, brilliant with millions of twinkling stars, bejeweled with colors I'd never seen. They all seemed different sizes than normal, a dazzling display that showed them in their true light. The black canvas made them seem to come alive and Dancing with the Stars took on a new meaning.

I laughed out loud at the spectacle and out of the corner of my eye saw something bright dash across the sky. But by the time I turned, it had vanished. A few minutes later another brilliant flash of light suddenly appeared in front of me, and this time there was no question. My heart leapt at the sight, and in that moment a wave of compassion and joy swept over me and out onto the planet. My eyes teared up and I felt their love for us as something real and something that's always there and can feel, if we tune into it. They have a desire to connect with us on a personal level. Our brothers and sisters are family, and they're here to guide us into a new world. I knew in that instant that everything was going to be alright-me, the planet and the people on it.

I heard the voice of Isis say-It will be a few more months until ascension. You have more to do, as does everyone else. It will go quickly. Use the time productively. Be kind to everyone. You have all come through difficult times, but it's nearing the end.

I thanked Isis and the galactics. They had given me a gift most precious. Now whenever I begin to wonder about the shift in consciousness, the new financial system, the new governments, and why we aren't seeing anything tangible, I remember that magical night. The black sky, the blanket of sparkling stars, the brilliant balls of light flashing across the sky, and the reverent lightheartedness that filled the planet.

It's probably not something the Discovery producer can use, but to me it's proof that they are here and looking out for us in love and laughter.
