I was in a hotel room in Edinburgh, Scotland, a place I have always been drawn to, even though I live in New Zealand. By a bizarre comedy of errors, I missed my flight (I never miss flights) and had to stay there one more evening, which happened to be my 52nd birthday. I'm a travel photographer and perfectly healthy, walking with my photo equipment at least 10 miles a day... No heart problems... nothing. An ideal physical specimen! Haha...

I was standing in my hotel room at midnight facing my bed. I was looking at these two photos above the bed and I had some realization. Then, I automatically just uttered these 24 magical words, all jammed together. I don't remember what they were, but when I said them, I remembered saying them before. Perhaps when I came into the world? Anyway, RIGHT after I said them, I collapsed face-first on the bed. My soul shot out of my body, went out of the hotel and I was flying through space. It was ecstasy. 

I started going through sort of a rectangular tunnel and at the end I saw beautiful rainbow-layered lights. As I moved through this tunnel I had this huge realization, "Oh! I know what all that was about!" – and then I moved into this "Arena" of rainbow rows of seats, and there were SO many souls there giving me love. It was very much like Gladiator returning to the Colosseum or something. And then music started to play – the song from the Lego Movie "Everything is Awesome!" I felt so much joy.

I felt like I had just completed Planet Mission Earth! I hung out there for about 30 minutes. Then they sent me back to my body... I was like NoooOooo... but I have more missions to accomplish, I guess!

Since then, I've had many wild paranormal things happen. Most recently, I have had aliens come into my bedroom in the morning and perform surgery on me. It's all friendly and I laugh and joke with them. They stuck an implant under my right big knuckle that you can feel. So, yes, I have had about 30 surgeries between the hours of 5 AM to 10 AM. I don't know WHAT they are doing or WHY. I feel like they are building a new energy network inside of me...they sometimes move my body parts around in bed or take over my breathing. It's wild.
