My article last November discussed 3I/ATLAS – what it was made of, where it traveled from, and ways it behaved differently than other comets we have seen.
Some people say 3I/ATLAS is a ship, or even a consciousness, come to observe us here on earth as we make a major transition. 3I/ATLAS made its closest approach to Earth on December 19, 2025, and then turned back towards the depths of interstellar space. But maybe not without leaving us with something.
Visualize this. As 3I/ATLAS moved through our solar system, it was surrounded by a high-energy, high-frequency plasma field. Plasma is the fourth state of matter as we know it (alongside solids, liquids, and gases). Some people talk about plasma as being not just a physical medium, but as something more closely related to consciousness – able to carry energy and information in ways we’re still trying to understand.
It is also speculated that, through plasma interactions, and as part of its journey, 3I/ATLAS and the Sun delivered energy and information into the solar system, and into us. Think of this as “seeds” planted that may take time to fully grow. Now that 3I/ATLAS has completed its inward swing and is on its way back to parts unknown, all we can really do is wait and see what comes.
Once you accept the idea that things can come here from outside our solar system, it raises questions about who else might be out there, and what their relationship to us could be. For me, the idea of extraterrestrial life isn’t one thing – it’s many things. I don’t think of “aliens” as a single group with a single intention. From everything I’ve read and listened to, there seem to be many different kinds of beings, at different levels of development, with different relationships to consciousness, matter, and time. Some are described as very physical, others much less so. Some are said to look almost exactly like us, while others don’t.
A lot of this information comes from channelers like Edgar Cayce and Bashar, along with other traditions that describe reality as layered rather than linear. The idea is that consciousness exists across densities or levels, and what we experience as physical reality is just one part of something much bigger.
In that framework, these beings don’t necessarily “travel” through space the way we imagine, because they’re not limited to the same physical constraints we are. For us, the speed of light marks the limit of the physical reality we experience – the 3 dimensions of space bound up with time. If other beings exist at higher dimensions – the 4th, 5th, and even beyond – that limit would not apply to them in the same way. By shifting their state or frequency, they could enter our physical reality directly, rather than traveling for thousands of years.
Some of these beings are described as more positively oriented, with a focus on unity and cooperation, while others are more dark and self-oriented. That’s not so different from humans, really. Wherever there is intelligence, there seem to be different kinds of beings, with different orientations.
What may be coming is greater knowledge of our own hidden history, which may be much longer and stranger than we thought. There are stories about ancient interference, DNA being altered, and capabilities we once had and lost. There are also ideas that our lifespans were once much longer, and that we had abilities like direct or telepathic communication which were shut down.
When you think about it from this perspective, stories like the Tower of Babel feel less ancient and more like a memory of a real shift, a time when people stopped understanding each other the way they once did. Whether you take those stories literally or symbolically, consider that we may not have the full picture of our history or where we fit in.
Interesting to me is that many of these traditions say the earth itself, and we here on earth, are approaching a period of change. For us, that means awareness expands. A big part of it is that things that were hidden can’t stay hidden – you can’t stop it.
Some people say the beings are waiting for us to be ready – not technologically, but vibrationally – and that they want us to be ready. You may have heard about this: our vibration needs to be high enough.
When I talk about vibration, I mean it in the same way that people talk about consciousness change. It’s not mystical, but more about how we handle what’s in front of us. To me, being vibrationally ready means being able to hear new information without immediately going to fear.
Also, in this story, extraterrestrial beings aren’t invaders or rescuers so much as karmic witnesses – and in some cases, participants – in a transition that’s already underway.
I don’t claim to know what’s true. I do know that looking at the universe this way makes more sense to me. Like everything else, it comes back to choice. You can look at these ideas with fear or curiosity. For me, this way of interpreting things keeps me happy.
