In 2015, Matthew Roberts was a US Naval service member stationed onboard the USS Theodore Roosevelt. The events that transpired during their 2015 workup cycle brought us the first-ever declassified footage of unidentified aerial phenomenon (UAP)and the New York Times article titled: “Glowing Auras and ‘Black Money’: The Pentagon’s Mysterious U.F.O. Program.” Subsequently, he transferred to the Office of Naval Intelligence in Washington D.C. where he began to have frequent, and often intense, personal experiences with the phenomenon.

He discovered through a long, painful, and terrifying journey that the truth of the phenomenon has deep and profound implications for the future of the human race. It may seem like a bold statement but the ultimate universal truth that underlies the phenomenon is captured in the simple yet eloquent words of Mark Twain, “The two most important days in your life are the day you are born, and the day you find out why.”

My book 'Verified Near Death Exeriences' https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXKRGDFP

IT HAS been said that once we know that we are not alone, the greatest revolution in human culture will occur.

My personal meetings with the visitors showed me that this experience was completely different from the reality we know.

This was an encounter with the complete unknown, and during this visit, I feared for my sanity. In those moments I was not able to understand the experience rationally. Trying to fully understand what transpired has become the project of my life.

Communicating with the visitors at that meeting was not like the familiar communications that we normally have, they did not speak to me in words or any language, they shared with me their consciousness. They allowed me to experience their thoughts, their feelings Their existence, and their perception of reality.

During the time of our shared consciousness, I could see who we truly are - from their perspective, which is so vastly different than our own.

At the beginning of the encounter, I experienced terrible fear, as I overcame it, I experienced the most profound and meaningful content of my life. Content that led to the writing of this book.

In the first part of the book, I am sharing the experience of the encounter itself, exactly as it happened, and then the physical, psychological, and mental impact that followed. The second part of the book is written after a gradual journey of understanding the experience and the meaning of the communication in depth, a journey that lasts about 30 years, and still, today continues. Years in which the experience of their abstracted consciousness became clear, and the different parts of it merged into one complete picture.

Throughout this time, the visitors support and continue to help me, in their unique way, of understanding what they are, how their vast consciousness sees reality, the special connection between their consciousness and that of us, and most importantly, who we are, and our evolutionary process of consciousness.

I hope that sharing my experiences will help in our shared journey into the new spaces we are going to, one where we realize that we are not alone.

I'm not saying I have all the answers, but I'm sure trying to understand.

Yossi Ronen is living in Israel.

He had a face-to-face encounter and communication with several aliens who appeared in his room when he lived about a year in 1981 in Los Angeles.

the experience led his life on a new path. His interests have changed to independent search and learning in areas related to the encounter experience phenomena. For two years he has written articles in Alternative magazine in Israel, articles directly or indirectly related to UFO and contact or meeting the visitors, such as alternative medicine, currents in mysticism, parapsychology, oneness/god, and the Ancient secret Hebrew language.

The book ONE is a summary of about 40 years of study and research in the world of spirit, cognition, culture, and the human spirit in the face of the contact and to the information, he received in the face-to-face contact with the visitors. The book opens a window into understanding the Multidimensional consciousness /perceptions of the visitors and the relation to the development of our human understanding of reality and consciousness. This year he wrote a Chapter about his experience for the second and upcoming academic book by "free" Foundation - The Science of Consciousness & Contact with Non-Human Intelligence.
