FROM EVIDENCE TO ENLIGHTENMENT: SCIENCE, EXTRATERRESTRIAL CONTACT, AND REMEMBERING OURSELVES
By Janet Kira Lessin
The Shift in Science
For centuries, the question lingered: Are we alone in the Universe?
Now, for the first time, mainstream science is beginning to answer with something close to certainty. A groundbreaking survey published in Nature Astronomy in 2025 asked over 1,700 scientists about the likelihood of alien life. The results were startling: 86% agreed that extraterrestrial life exists. Even among the most cautious, almost no one said no.
In a sterile laboratory, researchers in white lab coats and gloves carefully examine shimmering samples of asteroid Bennu dust under powerful electron microscopes. Petri dishes hold fragments of the ancient time capsule, while glowing DNA imagery in the background symbolizes the groundbreaking discovery of amino acids and nucleobases—the very building blocks of life—hidden within the grains.
At the same time, NASA’s OSIRIS-REx mission returned samples from the asteroid Bennu—tiny grains of dust from a 4.5-billion-year-old time capsule. Inside, scientists discovered:
- All five nucleobases—the letters of DNA and RNA.
- 14 of the 20 amino acids used in Earth life, plus 19 rare ones.
- Salt minerals, evidence of ancient liquid water.
Taken together, these discoveries rewrite our sense of cosmic possibility. The “alphabet of life” is not Earth’s private property—it is written into the stones of the Universe itself.
The Witnesses Before Science
A man in a neat suit passionately addresses a small group of townsfolk in a modest community hall. Some lean forward curiously, while others fold their arms in skepticism. Vintage posters line the walls as the contactee describes UFOs and encounters with beings from the stars—sharing truths that science would dismiss for decades.
But here’s the irony: while scientists now publish cautious papers about amino acids and habitable exoplanets, ordinary people have been saying this for over seventy years.
The contactees and experiencers of the 1940s, 50s, and beyond risked everything to share their truth. They told us beings from other worlds were here. They told us we are part of a larger cosmic family. They urged us to abandon nuclear weapons and learn the ways of peace.
A passionate contactee, dressed in a dark suit, addresses a skeptical audience in a modest 1950s community hall. Men and women sit with crossed arms or furrowed brows as “Flying Saucers” posters hang on the walls. The scene captures both the courage of those who testified about extraterrestrial encounters and the disbelief they faced from society.
And what did we do? We laughed. We mocked. We dismissed them as dreamers or frauds. Even trained researchers like Harvard psychiatrist John Mack were attacked for taking experiencers seriously.
Science missed out on a vast trove of testimony—patterns of encounters, consistent descriptions of beings and craft, messages of warning and hope—because of bias and ridicule. We discarded data that could have altered the course of our civilization.
The Personal Turn
I know this story well, because I have lived it. For years, I censored myself. I stayed silent out of fear—fear of ridicule, fear of being labeled crazy, fear of losing the ability to support myself.
Those fears were real. Society made them real by punishing anyone who dared to speak of contact.
And yet the experiences never went away. They live in me as surely as they lived in countless others across generations. We were carrying truths that science was not ready to hear.
A petite, attractive woman with long sandy blonde hair, bangs, and bright blue eyes stands at a podium, courage radiating like light around her. Behind her, shadowy figures of ridicule dissolve into starlight, symbolizing the transformation from shame and fear into confidence and self-ownership. She stands tall in her truth, embodying courage despite decades of disbelief.
Now that the tide has shifted, I choose to stand in my truth. I will not apologize for it. I will not shrink from it. Silence has cost too much already.
A Multidimensional Declaration
In a vast cosmic council chamber filled with diverse extraterrestrial beings—tall Nordics, shimmering light-beings, Greys, and humanlike figures—a petite, attractive woman with long sandy blonde hair, bangs, and blue eyes stands at the center. She addresses the assembly with confidence, her presence glowing with dignity and beauty. The beings observe, their faces visible and expressive. The scene symbolizes her declaration as a multidimensional being, remembering her vast résumé across lifetimes and worlds.
Recently, I had a dream in which I stood before an intergalactic audience—not a job interview, but a soul interview. I laid out my full résumé, not limited to one body, one century, or one planet.
I remembered aloud that I exist across timelines and dimensions. I have lived and loved in worlds beyond Earth. I have built worlds as a creator and terraformer. I have traveled time, carried wisdom as a Source-level emanation, and yet also walked barefoot on Hawaiian soil as a 21st-century woman.
But here is the most essential truth: I am nothing special.
This is not about me. This is about us.
What I am, you are. This is the natural condition of all beings everywhere. The only difference is that I have remembered.
A sits at a table in a warm, intimate cosmic setting. Around her are extraterrestrials—Greys with large black eyes and a shimmering backdrop of stars. Her face is clearly visible, glowing with beauty, confidence, and openness, as she shares a profound yet casual exchange with her cosmic companions. The scene symbolizes equality, friendship, and remembering her multidimensional truth.
We are world builders, dreamers, and manifestors. We are all fractals of GodSource, Universal Consciousness. God is not external, perched on a throne beyond us. God is the Self—the vastness within. To remember this is not to exalt oneself, but to reclaim what has always been true: divinity is our birthright.
The experiencers and contactees were never describing aliens “out there.” They were pointing to the starfire “in here.” They were reminding us of who we really are: cosmic citizens, sparks of Source, equal and eternal.
In an enchanted ancient forest, Janet sits by a glowing fire, her long sandy blonde hair, bangs, and blue eyes illuminated by its golden light. Around her, extraterrestrials and humanoids lean in, listening intently—Nordics, Greys, reptilians, insectoids, light-beings, and human star travelers. The tall trees glow faintly with otherworldly energy, creating a magical, timeless atmosphere where every being is rapt in the power of her story.
The Call Forward
A woman stands at the threshold of a cosmic choice, illuminated by starlight as extraterrestrial beings gather in a circle around her. Above, radiant lines of light weave between planets and stars, symbolizing the interconnected destiny of civilizations. The scene captures humanity’s moment of decision: continue the path of war and secrecy, or step into unity, Love, and Light within the Federation of Planets.
So here we are. Science says life is out there. Experiencers say it has always been here. And some of us are beginning to remember that life and consciousness are within us as well.
This has always been the test: would humanity weaponize what it found, or would we listen with humility? We failed that test in the 1950s, hiding the truth, building bombs, and laughing at witnesses.
But the test is before us again now. With Bennu’s alphabet of life in our hands and scientific consensus tipping toward the stars, we have another chance to grow up.
We can keep walking the old path—war, secrecy, dictatorship—or we can remember ourselves, awaken as multidimensional creators, and finally join the Federation of Planets, built not on fear but on Love and Light.
Deep in a primeval, star-lit woodland, Janet shares her story as if weaving threads of memory into the night air. The extraterrestrials and humanoids around her—each distinct in form and expression—sit as equals in a sacred circle. The fire crackles, sparks drifting upward to merge with the constellations above, blurring the boundary between Earth and the cosmos.
✨ The Future Is Choice
We are not alone. We never were.
The question is whether we are ready to believe our own witnesses, own our own stories, and remember that we are not small at all. We are world-builders, children of the stars, and sparks of GodSource.
The Age of Enlightenment is not a dream. It is the doorway already standing open.
A luminous cosmic doorway opens against a radiant starfield as humans and extraterrestrials walk together toward the light. In the foreground, a woman with long sandy blonde hair, bangs, and blue eyes gazes forward with quiet strength. The scene symbolizes humanity’s decision: continue in secrecy and fear, or awaken as world-builders, sparks of GodSource, ready to enter the Age of Enlightenment.
