Hawkeye:

I believe it's a mixture in terms of who I communicate with.  There have been times where it was made clear that I was communicating with Christ. There have been times where it was made clear that I communicate to my higher self.  One time I asked about the energy I feel at the back of my head, and I was shown the words: "Albert's connection to God." Perhaps other spirits who are a part of my disk are involved.  One time I asked and I was shown an image that can be seen by clicking on the below link.   There have been clues about being in contact with aliens. See below, as I posted on Out of Body Dude's thread.  I believe there are many beings who are a part of the light, and as long as they live according to love, in a way, it doesn't matter who they are. Regarding the attached image, in addition to the word "friends" the first two letters of Chick Corea translate to CC for Christ consciousness, which is a code thing my guidance and I have figured out.

-Went out of body with all the effects, flew around clusters of stars that seemed to be clusters of spirit beings, found myself on alien planet by a beautiful lagoon, there were creatures in this lagoon that were similar to jellyfish, except that they weren't transparent and were different bright colors, but only one color at a time. I understood that these creatures had something to do with my past, but I don't know how.

-One morning I had a lucid dream and three large orbs came down from space and struck me.  Each time I tried to get away but failed. Each time one struck me I had a lucid OBE (OBEs within a lucid dream). When I woke up I heard a lady screem, "Don't think about it!" Next, I was shown two visual symbols that also made the point that it was important for me to not think about it at the time. I guess the day of knowing what the above is about will come eventually.

-One evening I woke up and felt a presence. I asked, "Who's there?" I heard, "It's us." I looked at the ceiling of my room and within a glassy area I could see about five aliens looking at me.

-One night I was meditating and I saw an alien looking at me.  Not only did I see him, I could feel him looking at me. It felt like he was far away. It was as if we were looking at each other through a telescope.  I had a negative thought about how he looked, eventhough he didn't have a negative vibe, and I stopped meditating. I felt really bad about judging him according to how he looked. I saw a little white star flash in front of my heart chakra.  This wasn't the first time I've seen such a star in front of my heart chakra. Occasionally this will take place when a light being wants to express love towards me.

-I had a night where I made contact with an unfriendly spirit, and the next night I didn't feel like making contact with spirits again.  As I lay in bed, while fully awake, I heard what sounded like a radio message coming from the back of my head.  I could hear the voice real clearly.  The voice stated the reasons I've been selected. It seemed clear that the source was alien. After the communication was over, I felt really good about who I was in contact with.  Regarding the radio sound, I don't believe a radio receiver is in my head.  If you think about it, we can hear what sounds like a radio when we listen to a radio, even though we don't have a radio in our head. It is a matter of how our nerves get activated.

-One more experience that is more humerous than bonafied.  I was reading a Robert Monroe book and even though I don't doubt the possibility of Aliens being in contact with the human race,  for some reason I had doubt while reading a particular passage about aliens. Suddenly in front of me I heard a crackle. I saw a large and comical looking alien swoop down towards me and then go away. I believe my spirit guidance did this as a joke.  I believe this was a way of asking: "Do you really think we're alone?"  

Must say that how i feel about it too, not to mention I'm a little jealous of such experiences.

One perspective I can't help thinking about (which we've had before) in all of this is that it's possible or even likely that the beings we perceive as manifesting are drawn into our awareness by our beliefs or expectations - some of these may be unique to the individual, and some may represent  shared beliefs. e.g. contact with Christ, Buddha, a deva, Quetzacoatl, Mary, Krishna, demons, whatever.

Should this be the case it's perhaps not so important that we assign absolute literal and objective existence to such beings. Perhaps the big question is the meaning of such manifestations - be it symbolic, figurative, intended for the individual, for larger groups and so on.

I guess it's tough to decode sometimes....
