Beyond UFOs: The Science of Consciousness and Contact with Non- Human Intelligence

The researchers, Ph.D. academics, and Medical Doctors of the CCRI
organization propose two major hypotheses:
1)    That Consciousness, our Greater Multidimensional Reality, is
“Fundamental” and not our perceived physical reality; and
2)   That all of the paranormal Contact Modalities, need to be perceived as ONE
integrated phenomenon under Consciousness, and not as separate and distinct
phenomena.

I am currently the Director of the Consciousness and Contact Research
Institute, or CCRI, an academic research institute comprised of more than 25 Ph.D. academics, medical doctors, and researchers whose mission is to explore the findings of consciousness research and the phenomenology of “paranormal experiences”, what CCRI calls “The Contact Modalities, a term I coined in 2013. The term “Contact Modalities” is defined as “all of the diverse ways that humans are ‘piercing the veil’ of our physical reality and having perceived contact with consciousness-based Higher Forms of Intelligence”, also called “Non-Human Intelligence”. Some examples of the Contact Modalities are Near- Death Experiences (NDEs), Out of Body Experiences (OBEs), Astral Travel Experiences (ATE), and Conscious Aerial Phenomena (CAP-UFOs), (commonly called UFOs or UAPs).

My lecture will involve brief discussions of several of my recent books:
1. “Beyond UFOs: The Science of Consciousness and Contact with Non-
Human Intelligence”.  Beyond UFOs was the world’s first, and remains, the
only comprehensive worldwide academic statistical research study on UFO
Contact Experiencers.
2. A 6-volume book series (800 pages for each volume) titled “A GREATER
REALITY:  The New Paradigm of Nonlocal Consciousness, the Paranormal
and the Contact Modalities”.

These 6 volumes are co-edited by myself, Dr.Rudy Schild, Dr. Jon Klimo, a retired professor of Philosophy, Dr. MichaelGrosso, retired MD ER Physician, Dr. Joseph Burkes, and Dr. Jeffrey Long, anMD Oncologist and one of the world’s leading researchers on the NDE phenomenon.

Volumes 1 and 2 are theoretical and academic and contain articles by more than 30 Ph.D. academics, professors at medical schools, medical doctors, and lay researchers.  Volumes 3 – 6, also 800 pages each, contain articles written by major “Experiencers” of the Contact Modalities.  Each of these Experiencers has had more than 3 different types of Contact Modalities experiences.

Reinerio (Rey) Hernandez was a Ph.D. Candidate at the University of California at Berkeley where he was the recipient of a National Science Foundation Ph.D. Fellowship. He is currently the Director of the Consciousness and Contact Research Institute, or CCRI, an academic research institute comprised of more than 25 Ph.D. academics, medical doctors, and researchers whose mission is to explore the findings of consciousness research and the phenomenology of “paranormal experiences”, what CCRI calls “The Contact Modalities”.

Rey’s first book, published in 2018, is an 820-page academic book, co-edited with a team of retired Ph.D. academics, titled “Beyond UFOs: The Science of Consciousness and Contact with Non-Human Intelligence”, which was the world’s first and only comprehensive worldwide academic statistical research study on UFO Contact Experiencers. Over 4,300 individuals from over 125 countries participated in the research study’s 3 surveys. Rey has also published in several peer-reviewed academic journals including the Journal for Scientific Exploration and the Journal of the International Academy of Consciousness.

Rey has recently published 9 new books which are a 6 volume book series (800 pages for each volume) titled “A GREATER REALITY: The New Paradigm of Nonlocal Consciousness, the Paranormal and the Contact Modalities”. Volumes 1 and 2 are theoretical and academic in nature and contain articles by more than 30 Ph.D. academics, professors at medical schools, and medical doctors. Volumes 3 – 6, also 800 pages each, contain articles written by major “Experiencers” of the Contact Modalities”. Each of these Experiencers has had more than 3 different types of Contact Modalities experiences. For example, Dr. Melinda Greer, an MD Pediatrician, has had 2 NDEs, has seen many deceased souls, has seen 14 different UFOs in various forms, has had 3 Big Foot experiences, has had various OBEs, etc. Volumes 3 – 6 contain many similar experiencer written chapters.

Rey has also published a book that introduces the A Greater Reality book series, titled “The Mind of GOD: A Spiritual-Virtual Reality Model of Consciousness & the Contact Modalities”. This book provides the theoretical foundation for the CCRI organization, which are as follows: 1) that Consciousness is Fundamental and not our perceived physical reality, and 2) that all of the paranormal “Contact Modalities” (NDEs, OBEs, UFOs, communication with the deceased, Remote Viewing, Hallucinogenic Journeys, etc.) might be ONE integrated phenomenon under Consciousness.

Finally, Rey has recently published a 360-page book on his personal experiences and a full feature 2-hour documentary, featuring over 25 PhD academics and medical doctors and over 50 Experiencers of the Contact Modalities. Both are titled “A Greater Reality: One Man’s Journey of Discovery”.

CCRI’s website is AGreaterReality.Com and contains free PDF copies of numerous chapters from his 9 books. All of Rey’s books are available in both paperback and E-book format from Amazon Press.

Rey’s email is: Info@AGreaterReality.Com

Living Beyond the Veil: Technology & Practices w/Dr. K Narayan ~Presented by Durham IANDS

In this talk, Dr. Narayan will share his journey and what living beyond the Veil feels like. You will learn the purpose of the Veil and how spiritual practices lead to the ‘thinning of the Veil.’ You will learn about the layers of spiritual transformation, which represent steps in inner growth, and how to use energy as a technology to accelerate your spiritual evolution.

NDEs and STEs profoundly change people because they enable them to see beyond the Veil. The glimpse permanently shifts people’s understanding of reality. However, many do not know how to integrate their experiences and design a life aligned with higher consciousness, a process that requires not merely knowledge but spiritual technology.

Dr. K Narayan’s quest for spiritual transformation began three decades ago. As a teenager growing up in India, he immersed himself deeply in meditation and learning about science. His fifteen years of spiritual practices eventually led him to a spiritual awakening, which gave him his first experience of seeing beyond the Veil. However, it took him another decade to understand both the science and technology of spiritual transformation. Eventually, he learned how to access energy and guidance from beyond the Veil, which enabled him to create transformative tools.

In this talk, Dr. Narayan will share his journey and what living beyond the Veil feels like. You will learn the purpose of the Veil and how spiritual practices lead to the ‘thinning of the Veil.’ You will learn about the layers of spiritual transformation, which represent steps in inner growth, and how to use energy as a technology to accelerate your spiritual evolution.

Attend this presentation by Dr. K Narayan, a mystic and a channel for Divine Mother, to learn:
1. The purpose of the Veil
2. How spiritual transformation leads to living beyond the Veil
3. What living beyond the Veil feels like (and what it doesn’t)
4. The four layers of spiritual transformation
5. Core practices for accelerating spiritual evolution

Dr. K Narayan is a channel for Divine Mother, the Source of the Divine Feminine. His spiritual journey began in 1996 as a teenager. From 1996 to 2011, he devoted countless hours to practicing meditation and learning about the nature of reality. He later earned a Ph. D. in Quantum Physics from the University Of Texas at Austin.

After a spiritual awakening in 2011, he became sensitive to energy and embarked on the journey to master energy healing. His years of searching finally led him to John Chandler, a direct disciple of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, the teacher who created the Transcendental Meditation (TM) movement. Under John’s guidance, he learned how to connect with Divine Mother and create transformative tools with Her energy.

In 2020, Dr. Narayan founded Children Of Infinity, a nonprofit dedicated to raising planetary consciousness. He is the author of the upcoming books ‘Heal, Transform, Ascend: Breakthrough Energy Healing From Divine Mother’ and ‘Spiritual Transformation: 12 Steps to Freedom, Joy, and Your Highest Life.’
