Ancient Aliens (2009–…): Season 14, Episode 16 - The Alien Brain - full transcript

He was able to perceive

the rise of Napoleon,
the rise of Hitler,

atomic weapons dropped
on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Objects moved
with the power of the mind.

Without touching it,
I'm able to control it.

I can hold it over there.

- I can pull it back there.
- POPE: Wow.

Communications that happen

without speaking a word.

This thing

telepathically...



communicated with me,

and it said,
"We are here to help you."

There are many who believe

that the human brain possesses
extraordinary,

untapped abilities, given to us
by extraterrestrial beings.

You have to wonder
if, ultimately,

the goal is to activate

all the humans on this planet.

If true, once we learn to access

the full potential of the brain,

will we discover a new reality

and destiny for humankind?

It's possible
that extraterrestrial beings

are sending messages



to assist us in averting
a future disaster.

There is a doorway

in the universe.

Beyond it is
the promise of truth.

It demands
we question everything

we have ever been taught.

The evidence is all around us.

The future is
right before our eyes.

We are not alone.

We have never been alone.

Paris, France.

June 30, 1559.

In a freak accident,

French King Henry II
is mortally wounded

while jousting in a tournament.

Ten days later, he dies.

The news shocks
the French people...

Except for one man:

the seer, Michel de Nostradamus.

Years earlier,
Nostradamus foretold the death

of King Henry in Les Proph?ties,

a collection of 942 predictions
about the future.

Now his macabre vision
has been realized

with startling clarity.

Nostradamus's fame as a prophet

starts with the...

prophecy that King Henry II

would die
in a jousting accident.

He died, as the prophecy said,
"a cruel death."

The reaction to this
positively accurate prediction

was masses of people
burning Nostradamus in effigy.

Long after his death in 1566,

Nostradamus's
most chilling prophecies

became known around the world.

He's famous today

because in 1555 he predicted
the rise of Napoleon,

of Adolf Hitler,

of the death of Princess Diana.

MITCH HOROWITZ: Nostradamus is
perhaps the most enduring name

in post-biblical prophecy,

and people continue to feel
that they can learn

what's around the next corner
by studying his quatrains.

His prophecies are foggy,

cloudy, cryptic,

full of wordplays
called anagrams.

He was trying to create
a difficult verse to avoid

the church justices burning him.

Nostradamus did not claim

to have been born with
the ability to see the future.

He said that this gift
came to him suddenly

in his mid-40s
when he traveled Southern Europe

as a physician and chemist
fighting the plague.

But just what... or who...

Gave him the incredible ability
to see the future

was a mystery even to him.

He was single-handedly
fighting the plague,

and his wife
and his two children died.

He packed up his mule,
and, literally, in one night,

left everything...

and disappeared
from the historical chronicles

for about six years.

The shock, the grief,

the shattering
of what had happened to him

had awakened the family gift.

He had an awakening experience

that somehow opened up
his psychic ability.

It's quite possible
that his brain itself

was somehow altered,

a switch was flipped,
and when he came back,

he had the ability
to see into the future

and to make prophecies.

A psychic awakening?

Is it possible
that Nostradamus's ability

to predict the future
was somehow activated

by the trauma he experienced?

Many researchers
of extrasensory abilities

believe the human brain
contains incredible potential

that scientists
have not yet discovered,

and which are sometimes
switched on by traumatic events.

Evidence of this can be found

not only
in the life of Nostradamus,

but also extraordinary cases
documented in modern times.

Melbourne, Australia.

February 2012.

21-year-old college student
Ben McMahon

is driving home one afternoon
when a semitruck

runs a red light...

and broadsides his car.

The accident leaves McMahon

in a coma.

When he awakens a week later,

McMahon shocks everyone

by speaking in fluent Mandarin,

a language he only
casually studied in high school

Doctors say McMahon suffers
from foreign language syndrome,

a rare condition that occurs
after a traumatic brain injury.

There have been
certain circumstances

where people have had
an injury of the brain

and then suddenly developed some
completely new, ability.

It's a little bit like
the savant phenomenon,

where somebody has just
these unbelievable abilities

in a given domain
that are kind of unexplainable.

The brain is a compilation
of billions of nerve cells

that work together
to help us have our thoughts,

feelings and experiences.

Almost everything is still
mysterious about the brain.

I mean, we understand the basics
of how things work,

but when it comes
to our actual feelings,

our thought, our emotions,
our consciousness,

we really don't have
a good answer

as to how the brain helps us

to have
those different experiences.

People who have suffered

traumatic brain injuries
have developed incredible skills

such as perfect recall

and advanced understanding
of mathematical concepts,

and the instantaneous mastery
of musical instruments.

But is it possible
that the human brain

contains even more
incredible abilities

just waiting to be unlocked?

The untapped potentials
of the brain

are barely researched yet.

Those researching
creative people

assume that most of the work
that is done,

that is truly innovative,

new, original and valuable,

is done by the part
of the brain we can't track,

the part that
is barely understood.

CAROLINE CORY: The difference
between the average human

and the prophets and the seers

is not that
the prophets and seers

have a different DNA.

It is simply that they allow
their extrasensory perception

and their abilities
to be enhanced.

And that is the reason why
they receive messages

from the beyond.

This speaks
to the enormous hidden capacity

of the brain,

and even opens up questions
of whether or not

our brain capacity is
in the brain itself,

or maybe it's
outside of the brain,

and somehow we're able to tap
into these other abilities

outside the brain.

The human brain,

unlike the brains of animals,

contains a large neocortex,

the region responsible
for language, logical reasoning

and consciousness.

Many believe it is also the seat
of psychic abilities.

In 2015, researchers
in Germany determined

that the human neocortex
only developed

after it was activated
by a single gene.

Around 200,000 years ago,
say neuroscientists,

our neocortex
was mysteriously switched on.

And nobody knows how.

Of course,
ancient astronaut theory says

it's extraterrestrials,

that beings came from elsewhere

and tweaked our DNA.

This is very important,
because within the neocortex,

we now know,
are precognitive abilities,

psychic abilities.

CHILDRESS: If we're
actually genetically engineered

by extraterrestrials,
and they want us to have

a certain kind of a brain,

you have to wonder if,
ultimately, what the goal is

with extraterrestrials is
to activate,

really, all the humans
on this planet

so that we're using
our brainpower

and our psychic abilities.

Perhaps what
the extraterrestrials did

when they fashioned our DNA
and activated our neocortex

was cosmic consciousness,
cosmic awareness,

psychic abilities...

that could potentially link us
to extraterrestrials.

If human DNA was fashioned
by extraterrestrials,

as ancient astronaut theorists
propose,

is it possible that within it

lie powerful
extrasensory abilities?

And have there been people

who have been able
to activate these talents,

whether by accident,
through practice,

or by extraterrestrial
intervention?

Perhaps further clues
can be found

by examining
not only claims of clairvoyance,

but the incredible capability
to move objects

with the mind.

I can feel the different
electrical sensations in my head

1935.

Duke University parapsychologist
Joseph Banks Rhine

publishes a study that ignites
a firestorm of controversy

in the scientific community.

Rhine claims the brain
has psychic abilities

he calls
extrasensory perception,

or ESP.

Parapsychology consists of five
very distinct characteristics

that we study.

One is telepathy,

which is mind-to-mind
communication.

Clairvoyance...
It's getting information

about objects or events
from a distance,

whether it be something that be
in a drawer in another room

or even something
halfway around the world.

Precognition, which is getting
information through time.

Usually from the future
but sometimes from the past.

We also study psychokinesis,
or mind/matter interaction.

ESP is really just the ability,

or at least evidence
of the ability,

to glean information
in an extrasensory manner.

So we're left with a question:

how is this information
being exchanged?

From a neuroscience perspective,
there's a lot of controversy

as to whether something
like ESP exists.

Is there some sensory process

that our brain,
is able to tap into?

Is our brain able
to get to some more basic level

of how the universe works and

can pick up what other people
are thinking or feeling?

There are studies that purport
to be able to show

these kinds of phenomena
as being real,

and I think they need
to be taken seriously.

While working within the
British Ministry of Defence,

Nick Pope became aware
that numerous world governments

have devoted a significant
amount of time and money

to studying, and even employing,

people claiming to have
psychic abilities.

In August 2019, he traveled
to Durham, North Carolina

to visit the
Rhine Research Center.

Hello.

Hi, I'm John Kruth, the
executive director of the Rhine.

-I'm Nick.
-Nice to meet you, Nick.
Come on in with me.

I have someone
I'd like you to meet.

Great. Thank you.

John has been developing
a new method

to detect and measure
psychic abilities.

- Nick, this is Edd Edwards.
- Hi. Great to meet you.

Good to meet you, Nick.

- Talk me through this.
- What are we,

what are we looking at here,
and, um,

what are you going to do, Edd?

Okay, this equipment here,

what it does is pick up
the electrical energy

I generate in my brain,
and I'm able to control it.

How do you do that?

I mean, talk me through
what you actually think.

I can feel the different
electrical sensations in my head

that I consciously control.

Like a tingling or a...?

Yeah, tingling, magnetics,
electrical sensations.

And, then, out on my own,
I've learned to generate

these high energies in my hands.

And, for example, you know what
neuropathy is in people?

Feet go numb and everything?

I can apply this energy to that,

and the neuropathy will clear up
in about four minutes

in about eight
out of ten people.

- So it's like
you're activating something.
- Correct.

Edd talks about helping people

to activate
their immune systems,

helping them to deal
with physical problems.

And I'm wondering what is the
mechanism behind this healing?

And that's what we're gonna
be testing here, right?

This is something
I can demonstrate

that really
most other people can't.

Right, I'd love to see this.

Okay, well, let me turn it on.

Okay, now I'm gonna hold
these two units right here,

and all they're doing
is picking up

the electrical energy
in my body.

So, from
a scientific perspective,

this machine measures
static electricity

and static fields.

And Edd is, apparently,
generating static fields.

So, if I want that thing
to go to the right,

I pull on the right side
of my brain.

If I want it to go on the left,

I pull it on the left side
of my brain.

You tell me when and I'll
pull it back to the right.

So if I was to say right,

you would... and left...

and right again.

Without these controls,
just to be clear,

this doesn't move at all.

If there's any ambient
static fields in the area,

- it'll-it'll wiggle around
a little bit.
- Yeah.

One of the things we thought is,
maybe it has to do

with pressure
he's exerting on it.

As he increases pressure
on one side,

it moves one way or the other,
but, as you can see,

he can also have this effect
without touching the poles.

- Without touching it.
- I can hold it over there.

I can pull it back there.

Mentally, I'm just
changing polarity in my head,

or going from one side
to the other.

Removing any physical contact
with the machine,

Edd has just
demonstrated something

many would consider impossible:

he moved the toggle

using only the power
of his mind.

Sounds like
you're at the real forefront

of some
cutting-edge research here.

Well, it's difficult
to find people who are able

to consistently have
these sorts of effects,

and the fact that Edd
has consistent effects

allows us to explore the
phenomena in a lot more detail.

Now, at the UVA studies,

they do the extensive
EEG brain mapping on me,

and what they've learned
about my brain compared

to all the other EEGs is just
freaking 'em out up there.

My brain is operating
on all levels of consciousness

all at the same time.

Typically, the human brain

generates specific brain waves

while in different states
of consciousness.

But neuroscientists who have
studied Edd's brain claim

it is capable of generating all

of these separate brain waves
simultaneously.

When it comes to the brain waves
that our brain has,

we have denoted them
alpha waves,

beta waves, theta waves,
and so forth.

These are essentially
different frequencies,

certain types
that are associated

with sleep patterns
and things like that,

but it-it's always been
a little difficult

to know exactly how to interpret

all of the different types
of brain waves that we have.

An argument can be made

that ESP or psychokinesis
or precognition

could be where the brain reaches

a level that we
are unfamiliar with.

Not because it doesn't exist,

but because the great majority
of people have not learned

how to harness
that side of the brain.

Is it possible that abilities
like telepathy

and psychokinesis are just
waiting to be developed?

If so, is ESP something
that anyone can master?

ESP is something that everyone
has to some extent.

Just like any other skill
or talent you might have,

whether it be a musical talent,
whether it be a sports talent,

everyone has a bit
of natural abilities.

But there are some people
who practice really hard.

And they get better at it

whether they have
the natural ability or not.

Everyone has the ability

to develop their
extrasensory perception.

It is because it is part
of our DNA,

it is innate in the human nature

to be able to tap
into other realities

beyond our normal human senses.

Tap into other realities?

Could it be that harnessing
extrasensory abilities

is the key to connecting
with extraterrestrial beings?

Perhaps further clues
can be found

by examining ancient stories
of the Shining Ones.

Wow.

August 2019.

Nick Pope is meeting

with parapsychologist
John G. Kruth

to observe an experiment
with Edd Edwards,

a man who has demonstrated
psychokinetic abilities.

John has brought Edd and Nick
to a dark room.

Here, he intends to study
Edd's abilities with a device

that measures individual light
particles, called photons.

We have a very sensitive piece
of equipment here.

It's called
a photomultiplier tube.

The photomultiplier tube

will measure a single photon

of ultraviolet light
every half second.

It's one of
the most sensitive instruments

for measuring light that exists.

It's used in standard
physics experiments

and laser technology.

The reason we have that in here
is because we're trying

to measure light that comes
from the human body.

The human body
naturally emits light.

The average person emits
14 to 20 photons

by centimeter square per second.

This is very, very low.

So today what we're gonna do
is we're gonna have Edd

just sit like he is right now

and we're gonna take
a baseline reading from him.

Once we take a baseline from
him, then I'm gonna ask Edd

to start doing the exercises

that we were seeing downstairs,
to see if there's any change

in our photon readings.

In the control room,

Nick and John will observe
the experiment on computers

that record the amount of light
Edd produces in the dark room.

So what are you actually
hoping to observe here,

and how will this
tie in with ESP

and parapsychology
more generally?

The emission of light,

if it's being projected
from him,

would be a type of PK,
or psychokinesis.

It may be a mechanism
that might enable ESP.

And how would this tie in with
telepathy and clairvoyance?

Well, when we're talking
about light,

we're talking about
information carrier systems.

If you think about fiber optics,

how the entire Internet works,

it's all done using light

in different frequencies
and different patterns.

And this is what we're measuring
in here, we're measuring light.

So it's possible
that the light being modulated

can be what the carrier signal
could be

for the information
being transferred in ESP.

All right. About ready?

- Yes.
- Okay.

- Hey, Edd?
- Yeah.

All right,
I'm gonna turn the lights off

so we can start the study.

Okay.

John kills the lights

and begins the experiment.

Edd is going to attempt to
generate energy with his mind.

But first John will record
a baseline measurement.

And you can see we're starting
to take readings now.

Typically,

what would you expect to see
in this experiment?

So, what we typically see is,

we'll see a baseline, which kind
of wiggles around a little bit.

It'll usually be
between 12 and 20 photons

that we'll see
moving back and forth.

If we get it to go beyond it
to a point

where it's two times
the baseline or higher...

- - then that's
extremely significant.

- So that's what
we're looking for.
- Okay.

NARRATOR: With their baseline
readings complete,

John starts the next phase
of the experiment.

Okay, Edd, you can start
your sitting session.

Okay.

Edd begins his process

to generate energy.

And, almost immediately,

the computer readings change.

Look.

- That one jumped up to 156.
- Wow.

Now we're seeing 105.

You can see it's consistently
at a higher level

than it was during the baseline.

- And this is what we look for.
- Right.

And you've had nothing
on this scale...

- Nothing close to that.
- before-before he started

to produce something.

We just got a very big spike

- into the 500s.
- Wow.

NARRATOR: The sudden change
on the computer screen suggests

something extraordinary,

that Edd can consciously
manipulate energy with his mind.

Up until this point, I think

psychic talk was just that...
It was talk.

But even I can see

that that is
statistically significant.

KRUTH: You don't need
statistics to know

that there's something unusual

- going on here.
- Sure.

In a second experiment,

a thermographic camera monitors
heat patterns on Edd's body

and it detects
an unexpected anomaly.

On his palms of his hands,

you see it seems
to be getting warmer.

And it does seem
to be getting brighter

near the top of his head, too,
doesn't it?

Well, it does look
as if the head or,

dare I say it,
the brain is heating up here.

Could this be mental energy?

It's possible.
Some people talk about

the same pattern on the forehead

and on the hands is something
we see in other healers.

I came
to the Rhine Research Center

not really knowing
what to expect.

I've come away
with a changed perspective.

I've seen light associated
with ESP.

Light created by mental energy?

John's experiment may show

that the human brain
has far more potential

than previously thought.

Could these abilities stem
from an extraterrestrial origin?

Curiously,
across ancient cultures,

there are stories of gods
and holy figures emitting light.

In Irish legend, we learn
of the Tuatha D? Danann,

or the "tua de dan."

These are luminous
humanoid beings

who are considered to be beings
of immense wisdom

who are also called
the Shining Ones.

Similar to the Shining Ones
of the Celtic tradition,

the ancient Sumerian gods
called the Anunnaki

are described as glowing.

In Judeo-Christian traditions,

when Moses came down from Mount
Sinai with the Ten Commandments,

he, too,
was described as glowing.

Might this description be
more than metaphorical?

In a meditative state,

you can actually increase
the number of photons

up to a thousand, 2,000,

or even 100,000 photons
per second,

which is extremely bright.

This tells us that, when we are

in a heightened state
of awareness,

in a higher state
of consciousness,

our bodies emit
a huge amount of light.

And perhaps that is the reason
why we call it enlightenment.

Is it possible that,

by reaching
a state of enlightenment,

one is able to connect
with extraterrestrials?

Opening the third eye
is a poetic way

of saying "illumination"
or "enlightenment."

This is gaining access
to some perception,

some vision that is beyond
ordinary experience.

And this helps us
with the tasks we have.

This helps us with
the challenges making plans.

It is a kind of ordinary magic,

to grasp some information that
is beyond everyday imagining.

Extraterrestrials don't speak
English or French or Chinese.

They communicate with humans
through telepathy.

When you come in contact
with an extraterrestrial,

you're going to feel
like they are reading your mind.

You'll be able to exchange
information spontaneously

through telepathy.

Could it be that people

who have activated a higher
brain function emit light,

making it possible
for them to communicate

with extraterrestrial beings?

And if so,
what are they trying to say?

Perhaps further clues
can be found by examining

how psychic abilities

have been utilized
by the United States government.

I sit up, and there's this thing

1995.

The U.S. government declassifies
the Stargate Project,

a secret Army unit

that employed people
with psychic abilities

as spies.

The clandestine unit gathered
intelligence about persons,

places and events
from great distances

by sensing with their mind,

a practice called
remote viewing.

During the 1970s,

President Jimmy Carter's
administration

used remote viewers to locate

a downed Russian spy plane
in Africa.

You talk to any
of the old remote viewers,

the ones
from the Stargate program,

they'll tell you how accurate
and how important

and how relevant
their information was.

John Vivanco has been

a remote viewer
for over 20 years.

I worked with corporations,

as a professional remote viewer
on these projects.

Corporations, intelligence,

counterterror
for the FBI after 9/11.

Remote viewing fits into ESP.

But remote viewing
is also kind of like the,

Swiss Army knife
of psychic functioning,

because it kind of uses all of
these different aspects of ESP

in order to get information
on things.

A key part of remote viewing

involves entering
a trance-like state,

which John does
by listening to specific sounds.

We have brain waves.

And in the thinking, monkey-mind
state that w-we're normally in,

that is beta.

If you think about an EEG,

there's very high peaks
and valleys...

Da-da-da-da-da-da-da...
Moving fast.

That's not a very good place
to remote-view from.

So, when we listen
to the binaural beats,

they move us down into alpha,

which is a little bit slower
and meditative,

and also down into theta.

And we-we like to stay
in the alpha to the theta zone,

using that tool in order to get
the best information.

During a trance state,

the brain begins to relax,
going down

from beta to theta
to alpha state,

which is between four
and eight hertz.

Prophets and seers

tap into the theta layer
of reality,

where they are
extremely relaxed,

which allows them
to receive visions and imagery

beyond the normal
human perception.

While working
as a remote viewer,

Vivanco claims to have gathered
more than just information.

He has also encountered
otherworldly beings.

I'm at home, and...

I'm having this crazy dream.

So I open my eyes,

I sit up and there's this thing,

I'd say, like,
six feet away from me.

It's got a head shaped
like a-a football on the side,

two eyes.

It's got
these sort of spindly legs.

So I start backing up,
and I'm starting to go,

"Whoa, whoa, whoa."

And it telepathically
communicated with me.

And they said,
"We are here to help you,

and we want you to help us."

John was not
the only remote viewer

on his team
to have such an experience.

Now, the other viewers started

to experience the same thing.

And so that's
when we started to,

"Okay, now, you know,
I'm not hallucinating."

It is not

only remote viewers
who have reported

telepathic communication
with otherworldly beings.

In the ancient world,

priests and seers
developed various methods

to enter an altered state
of consciousness

to connect with their gods.

In Ireland, Celtic shaman
rhythmically banged on drums.

The famous Greek seer,
the Oracle of Delphi,

would inhale a noxious gas
and go into an ecstatic dance.

Perhaps the most curious tale
comes from ancient China,

where Taoist priests would
practice a mystic dance ritual

called the Pace of Yu.

DOMINIC STEAVU: The Pace of Yu
is a mediumistic trance

that enables practitioners

to escape the normal confines

of time and space
and travel to the stars

in order to communicate

with the divine beings
that inhabit them.

And there, they would interact
with various astral deities

and stellar powers
or stellar divinities in order

to directly ask them for advice
about future events.

Astral deities
with stellar powers?

Might the priests
have been communicating

with extraterrestrials?

With these trancelike states,

the whole idea is
to really contact the gods

and higher beings.

And are you perhaps
contacting extraterrestrials?

In modern times,

powerful leaders
from Winston Churchill

to Ronald Reagan sought counsel
from people

with psychic abilities
for all types of decisions.

What leader

wouldn't benefit from knowing
what lies around the corner,

whether it's good news
or bad news,

and perhaps have the opportunity

to try to prevent
something catastrophic

from happening on their watch?

So I think this is just
a continuation of something

that has been with us
since the dawn of civilization.

If psychics have been steering

the highest affairs of a nation,
might they be part

of an extraterrestrial agenda

to direct the course of life
on Earth?

But if so,

how could otherworldly beings
know the future?

Perhaps clues can be found
not within the mind,

but from far beyond
our known universe.

These seers and prophets are,

author Michael Talbot
publishes the book,

The Holographic Universe.

In it, Talbot proposes that the
universe is like a hologram...

An image or scene produced
by a photographic projection.

In a holographic universe,

all the information...
Past, present and future...

Exists all at once.

CHILDRESS: Within
this holographic universe,

your own past lives

and future lives
have already happened.

Everything is contained there.

So with the ability to tap
into the holographic universe,

you can see the past,
you could see the future,

and you would know
what's going to happen next.

In Western cultures,

where time is seen
as a linear progress,

the concept
of a holographic universe

may seem like science fiction.

But numerous cultures,
both ancient and modern,

believe that time is cyclical

and repeats itself
on an endless loop.

Buddhist and Hindu beliefs
refer to this cycle

as Kalachakra.

The notion of Kalachakra refers
to this idea

that there is a synchronicity

between various cycles
in the universe.

There is the large,
cosmic time cycle,

which is then synchronized
with other cycles

that go from
the rotation of planets

all the way to seasons.

So all of these cycles
are interconnected

in this great circular motion

which goes back
to a circular notion of time.

Many religious stories speak

of a place outside of time.

Perhaps one could travel
outside of time

and back into time,

later or earlier.

It makes the concept
of time travel workable.

Time travel?

A place outside of time?

Could the concepts of past,

present and future only exist

from a person's perspective,

moving through space and time?

And if all moments in time

are actually
happening simultaneously,

might the mind be able

to see beyond the specific point
in time

in which it physically exists?

Some ancient astronaut theorists
believe

that extraterrestrials designed
the human brain

with other,
even more extraordinary

extrasensory abilities
we have yet to discover.

In the 1970s,

this French philosopher by the
name of Dr. Jean Charon proposed

that each
and every single particle

that's in existence
throughout the entire universe

contains the entire knowledge

of the universe.

He called that
"the eternal spirit."

And he said...

And this is my favorite quote
of the entire book...

That the brain
is the last untamed beast

in the universe.

Is it possible

that the next step
in human evolution depends

not on our mastery
of technology,

but on the mastery
of our own minds?

Will our ascension
into the stars come

not through physics,
but something more?

We think

that we need a machine
to make us more intelligent,

to make us more superior
and enhance our ability,

but you have access
to certain powers

and capabilities
way beyond the machinery.

The human brain has the ability

to communicate
with other beings,

other dimensions and realities.

Some people believe
that the prophets and seers

may have a hybrid
extraterrestrial lineage,

but I believe that everyone
has this capability.

The way to evolve is
through consciousness.

Consciousness is more powerful

and more important
than machinery and A.I.

Is it humanity's destiny

to master psychic abilities

that could put us in contact
with other intelligent beings

and lead
to our ascension from Earth?

There are some who believe

that a man who harnessed
these abilities centuries ago...

Michel de Nostradamus...
Left a warning

for future generations

that this extrasensory evolution
may be critical

to the survival...

of humankind.

A solar flare erupts
from a powerful storm

on the surface of the Sun

and hurtles towards Earth.

Due to the tilt of the planet
on this particular day,

we barely miss bombardment
by the apocalyptic flame.

Had it happened
one week earlier,

humans would have faced
a global catastrophe.

Now, scientists say,
it could happen again.

And next time,

a solar flare could strike
a fatal blow.

Remarkably,
over five centuries ago,

Michel de Nostradamus
made a prediction

about the end of life on Earth

that to many sounds
eerily similar

to the potential effects
of a solar flare.

Nostradamus has made

one of the farthest future-dated
prophecies in history.

The fire sears
and dries out and destroys

and desiccates the surface
of the Earth,

destroying all life
on its surface.

But then he gives some hope.

He says but the races
of humanity will go on.

And then he makes a statement

that he never has made
in any of his utterances.

He starts using
astrological identifications

for places in space,
as locations.

He says some will go
to Aquarius for a few years.

Others will go
to the constellation of Cancer.

It's a hint of a man
from the 16th century

trying to grasp the concept

of the galactic stage
of human civilization.

The idea that somebody

from around 500 years ago said

that we'll have
to leave planet Earth

in order to live elsewhere
to continue life...

That's incredibly fascinating,

because what does a man
from 500 years ago

know about leaving planet Earth?

Could Nostradamus
have been warned

about a future catastrophe
by otherworldly beings?

And might they be
shepherding humanity

until we unlock
the full potential of our brain

and become Shining Ones
like them?

Other extraterrestrial
civilizations are going to focus

on consciousness, on making
their bodies into light.

When you become a light body,

you have access
to certain powers

and capabilities
way beyond the machinery.

Humanity is evolving,

we are advancing
our consciousness, and

it is consciousness
that directs your thoughts.

It is consciousness
that can manage your body.

And consciousness
has the ability

to communicate
directly with machinery,

anything that contains
artificial intelligence.

There have been a number
of studies that have shown

that consciousness seems
to be able to go beyond

just what is in the human brain,

and that is something
that I think

all of us need to think about.

What the future holds
remains to be seen,

but one argument is

that the development
of psychic abilities

is going to be the next step
of human evolution.

That unlocking these abilities

that perhaps lie dormant
within all of us is going

to be the key to upgrading
humanity to the next level.

It seems quite possible

that as we evolve,

our psychic abilities
will also evolve,

and that maybe
our ultimate destiny

is to become telepathic beings

like what we see
with these extraterrestrials.

Could it be that one day soon

all humans will be able to tap
into incredible abilities

that lie dormant
within the brain?

Will we be able to move objects
with our minds,

communicate telepathically,

and even see into the future?

Perhaps once we reach a new
level of psychic awareness,

we will be able to both see
and realize our destiny

in the stars.
