COMMENTARY: MEDIUMS AND NON-HUMAN INTELLIGENCES When we started writing about the afterlife, we made a conscious decision to not talk about UFOs, ETs, aliens and Inter-dimensional beings. In those days, almost 30 years ago, afterlife contact was something new and challenging for many people. At that time, to include extraterrestrials (ETs) would have pushed people beyond the 'boggle threshhold'.
But since the Disclosure Project there has been an increasing number of credible witnesses giving testimony about their personal involvement with UFOs and non-human life forms. Among them are many mediums and afterlife researchers and it seems that we can expect to see more and more overlap between afterlife science and ETs in 2026.
In physical mediumship, the Scole Experimenters and Kai Muegge have claimed ET contact. In Instrumental Transcommunication the leading teams claim to be getting ET support - Sonia Rinaldi frequently talks about ET contact and recently claims to have photographed a materialised ET. In past life regression we have the work of Dolores Cannon and Dr Linda Backman and in the work of out-of-body experiencers, trance mediumship and mental mediumship we keep hearing information about ETs and "inter-dimensional beings".
Also there are many prominent channels who claim to bring messages from beings who originate in: The Pleiades (very common), Sirius, Arcturus, Andromeda, and Zeta Reticuli (the "Greys"). The messages typically emphasize spiritual evolution, humanity's transition to higher consciousness, warnings about environmental issues, and the idea that we're part of a larger galactic community.
SOME WELL-KNOWN EXTRATERRESTRIAL CHANNELS Darryl Anka - Has been channeling "Bashar," supposedly a being from the planet Essassani, since the 1980s. Bashar's messages focus on following your excitement and the nature of reality.
Lyssa Royal-Holt - Channels multiple ET entities including "Sasha" from the Pleiades and others from various star systems.
Barbara Marciniak - Claims to channel "The Pleiadians," a group consciousness from the Pleiades star cluster, beginning in the late 1980s.
Lee Carroll - Channels "Kryon," described as an angelic/ET entity, since 1989.
Esther Hicks - While primarily known for channeling "Abraham" (described as non-physical consciousness), the entity has sometimes been characterized in ways that blur into ET territory.
DOLORES CANNON ON ETs AND UFOs In her book 'The Custodians', and other books, Dolores Cannon talks about her 25 years of communicating and working with ETs and their ancient connection to humans and Earth. To learn more about her 19 books and unique QHHT method of hypnosis for healing and past life regression read more.
DR. STEVEN GREER EXPLAINS
In this lecture, Dr. Steven Greer explains that everything in the universe is consciousness but that it is important for afterlife and UFO explorers to understand the difference between human spirits, astral entities, ETs, inter-dimensional beings and artificially created entities. At 30 minutes he shares his experiences with poltergeist phenomena in the hospital emergency room.
MEDIUM SUSANNE WILSON
NON-HUMAN INTELLIGENCE (NHI) - CONTACT IS CHANGING Susanne Wilson, a scientifically validated medium shares her experiences and those of some of her students with non-human intelligent beings.
ROBERT BIGELOW AND THE STRANGE PHENOMENA OF SKINWALKER RANCH Robert Bigelow is a billionaire who has conducted intense research of the afterlife, the paranormal and UFOs. When asked by 60 Minutes whether he believed aliens had visited Earth, Bigelow didn’t hesitate: “There has been and is an existing presence, an ET presence.”
When he
learned about a paranormal hotspot in northeastern Utah, a ranch where UFOs, animal mutilations, crypto creatures, poltergeist activity, and other bizarre phenomena have been reported with alarming frequency dating back many years, Bigelow bought the property and installed his own scientific team to investigate various weird incidents. See also Why Bigelow sold the ranch.
DON'T TRUST WIKIPEDIA ON ANYTHING PARANORMAL Every entry about a medium or psychic researcher, alternative medicine or UFOs in Wikipedia is deliberately negative. Their strategy is to ignore years of positive investigations and quote one negative critic. Dr. Rupert Sheldrake explains:
"It's been a battleground for years, where Guerrilla skeptics and other dogmatic activists dominate the content, preventing others from changing the text, even to correct errors, by automatically reversing their edits, banning people who continue to try, and other unsavory tactics". Read more and see Skeptical About Skeptics. For a light take on the issue see Dan Drasin's updated version of his short satirical video I'm a skeptic and his essay "Zen... and the Art of Debunkery" which is self-published as a Kindle book.
The Psi Encyclopedia is a new collection of articles and case studies about psi research, the scientific investigation of psychic phenomena. It’s a work in progress, being created by the Society for Psychical Research in London.

Exploring Different Styles of Meditation with George Lockett
George E. Lockett has spent 50 years practising Transcendental Meditation as taught by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, often in large groups of people meditating together. He has experienced transcending and having out-of-body experiences. After joining the local Spiritualist Church and training under the Surrey Healers' Association, he became known as "Healer George" when he worked at Mind Body Spirit fairs nationwide.
This month's meditation
will take you down into yourself and connect with source energy. From that perspective, we will discuss the planet's evolution as we move into 2026. Consciousness will continue to raise its vibration as oneness energy expands, and light and love grow.
As planetary alignments affect Earth and human consciousness, we may see an increase in earthquakes and volcanic activity. With the sun being active with sunspots and coronal mass ejections, it sends light energy upgrades to the planet and human consciousness, upgrading human DNA.

THE KINDNESS OF STRANGERS
As the year draws to an end it's important to remember that in spite of all the doom and gloom in the mainstream media there is an enormous amount of goodness in the world. These inspiring stories of the kindness of strangers may change your perspective and open your heart. Read more.
TAKE TIME FOR A SPIRITUAL RE-CHARGE
"Keep radiant, optimistic, and cheerful. Try never to allow yourself to be downcast. The best atmosphere in which we can work, help and guide is one in which there is no gloom, no despondency, no despair, All these blanket the aura and create obstacles that have to be surmounted".
"When things and people seem difficult sometimes, withdraw into the silence. Allow the great love emanating from our world to enfold you in its embrace and to recharge you with its power so that you emerge stronger as a result."
"More Philosophy of Silver Birch" pp.243 and 246.
FEEDBACK: (from past report)
1) If there is one thing that a life spent growing up immersed in Spiritualist philosophy courtesy of my grandparents and my mother, Elizabeth Pretty, has taught me, is that Universal Love is fundamental to progression. Might we all find love in some way this Christmas and every day. Gaylene Kennedy
2) "These Reports are just so informative and the artwork and music very moving. I don't know how you do it weekly but I read them almost every week. Thank you." Janice
3) "So really great to see you recommending "Life and Teaching of the Masters of the Far East" By Baird T. Spalding. But I see you only link to Volume 1. For anyone who really would like to get into these I recommend them without hesitation, excepting only that one must understand descriptions of events are not always quite correctly understood by the living. But these things certainly happened. I have the first four volumes free on my site, and these are outside copyright. The other two volumes you have to pay for. https://new-birth.net/.../books-on-spiritual-development/...Geoff Cutler.
HIGHLY INSPIRATIONAL MUSIC
Kathy Cochrane says her husband Mark's twin brother, Craig, came to her in a dream. "He told me it was his birthday. I argued with him and said, "It's not your birthday! Your birthday is on Mark's birthday - in August!" But he insisted that it indeed was his birthday - his "birth into a happy, new life" - and that I should buy him a birthday cake. The next day I told Mark of my dream. He looked at me in shock and said, "I dreamed about Craig last night too!"
Soon after that Kathy found herself being woken at night by the melodies of this song. Read more.
