What happens when an alien encounter shatters everything you believe about reality?

In EP 5: The Rising (Part 1), host Justin Gearheart speaks with Jeff Selver, an author and consciousness researcher whose extraordinary abduction story began when he was just 16 years old. Jeff describes being taken aboard a craft, encountering a female Elder Gray, and experiencing revelations about DNA manipulation, implants, time distortion, and contact that stretched into the afterlife itself.

From the moment he was frozen in place under the night sky to the overwhelming telepathic communication that followed, Jeff’s story pushes far past the boundaries of a typical UFO encounter. Inside the craft, he witnessed organic, living technology, underwent medical procedures, and was shown holographic visions of humanity’s future. Most shocking of all, Jeff recalls being transformed into pure consciousness — a state of bliss and unity that left him questioning whether he had glimpsed the soul, the afterlife, or even God.
