CE5: An Amateur Reflection<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hello! I’m an amateur CE5 experiencer, and I wanted to share my journey to provide insight into the practice. I will include a guide with resources at the end. Please be kind; I’m not a professional or an expert\u2014I\u2019m simply sharing my experiences.<\/p>\n

I started my CE5 journey on May 4th of last year. Earlier, I had watched Steven Greer’s documentary “Close Encounters of The Fifth Kind,” and, admittedly, I was skeptical. However, instead of dismissing it, I decided to give it a try myself to find out if it was genuine.<\/p>\n

TL;DR: It is.<\/strong><\/p>\n

To address some common questions I receive:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n

    Do you need Greer’s app to participate?<\/strong>
    \nAnswer:<\/strong> No! The meditations and audio needed are readily available on YouTube, and I will share those links later.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  2. \n

    Did you attend any of his expensive retreats?<\/strong>
    \nAnswer:<\/strong> No, I conducted my sessions alone in my backyard in rural Arizona, even when he wasn’t hosting retreats. You don\u2019t have to spend any money to experience CE5.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  3. \n

    Is this similar to using a Ouija board? Could you attract negative entities?<\/strong>
    \nAnswer:<\/strong> In my experience, no. A key part of the process is setting intentions beforehand, which acts as a filter. Since moving over 800 miles, my experiences only occur during CE5 sessions, suggesting minimal risk compared to practices like channeling or using Ouija boards.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  4. \n

    Did you buy the app?<\/strong>
    \nAnswer:<\/strong> To be honest, yes, initially I thought it was necessary. However, I soon realized it’s not required, as the meditations available for free on YouTube are essentially the same ones.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  5. \n

    Do you have any video or photo proof?<\/strong>
    \nAnswer:<\/strong> Unfortunately, no. My budget smartphone doesn’t capture well in low light, and during past attempts, any UFOs\/UAPs would vanish when I tried to take photos. This prompted a frustrating game of hide and seek.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  6. \n

    How effective is CE5?<\/strong>
    \nAnswer:<\/strong> Based on my experience, it has a success rate of about 80-90%. It\u2019s suggested that group sessions with four or more people may be more effective, but I\u2019ve yet to confirm that for myself.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Now that I’ve addressed those questions, I\u2019ll share a waking experience and a dream I had in October, along with an overview of my experiences over the months I conducted daily CE5 sessions.<\/p>\n

    Feel free to skip my personal stories and head straight to the guide if you’d rather not delve into my experiences.<\/p>\n

    The Waking Experience:<\/strong>
    \nThis occurred during my fifth nightly CE5 session. I entered a deeply relaxed, meditative state, and after hearing a high-pitched \u201cZing!\u201d in my right ear, I began to hear whispers about 30 feet away, followed by the crunching of footsteps on the dry desert brush. Initially, I dismissed this as my imagination\u2014perhaps it was just a toad, but the sounds grew closer. When they reached about 10 feet away, I opened my eyes to verify.<\/p>\n

    To my astonishment, I saw a gigantic (approximately 200+ feet long) object in the western sky\u2014an immense streak of bright white light, utterly still. After observing it for just 10-30 seconds, it shot off to the southwest and upward at a 45-degree angle, disappearing without a trace. Moments later, a bright flash occurred at the same spot.<\/p>\n

    Over the next few months, most of my CE5 experiences consisted of observing various “orbs,” which some might dismiss as mere coincidence.<\/p>\n

    The Dream:<\/strong>
    \nOne night, I went to bed early while my roommate gamed on my computer. I vividly \u201cwoke up,\u201d feeling completely normal\u2014my dog wanted to go outside. I<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
