Are Dolphins the Key to Communication with Other Worlds?

Consider the remarkable characteristics of the brains of bottlenose dolphins, and how similar they are to our brains. While their brain-to-body-weight ratio is second only to humans, at 1600 vs. 1300 grams, their brains are more substantial than ours. This is why John C. Lilly, Frank Drake, Melvin Calvin, Carl Sagan, and ten other scientists formed The Order of the Dolphins in 1961.

With Lilly at the helm, this brilliant group of dolphin-lovers and E.T. enthusiasts would soon form the group, S.E.T.I. (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence). S.E.T.I.’s plan, which continues today, is to discover how to find, attract, and talk to aliens.

S.E.T.I.’s Plan: Communicating with Dolphins

Believing that dolphins are as sentient and intelligent as humans, S.E.T.I.’s plan was to learn the dolphin language, and teach English to them. Doing so, they suspected these profound creatures would eventually prepare us for when it came time to decipher alien languages, and communicate with extraterrestrials. According to Lilly, through “dolphinese,” dolphins would one day hold a seat at the U.N.

How Dolphins Communicate; Compelling Attributes Of The Bottlenose Dolphin

It’s not just the brain weight and related ratios that make this premise so exciting. Dolphins have a very complex neocortex, densely packed with billions of neurons, almost perfectly aligned with humans. This tells us that dolphins are adept at problem-solving, emoting, social cognition, perception, and the theory of mind, which includes having beliefs, desires, and intentions, with the ability to sense what others are thinking. Also, these beautiful creatures have proven that they grow cultural traditions, which they pass from generation to generation.

Dolphins can understand sentences constructed with elaborate gestures, and they’re adept at pinging underwater keyboards to communicate their desires to humans. Dolphins also have the unique, human-like ability to recognize themselves in mirrors. By all accounts, dolphins are self-aware and should be considered sentient beings. There are 40 species of dolphins.

For years, scientists have explored how dolphins communicate. Initially, they found that cetaceans (dolphins, whales and porpoise) use echolocation to find each other, and specific whistles or “calls” that help them communicate within their species, and with other species. Later findings reveal that each dolphin uses a unique whistle, also called a “signature whistle,” which has helped identify specific dolphins. Many scientists report that hearing dolphins talking in this way is a profound experience.

In the wild oceans, dolphins enjoy home ranges of over 60 square miles. When they are held in captivity by a Sea World or similar organization, they are only permitted to swim throughout an area that is one-ten-thousandth of 1% of what is considered home-like to them. This is why capturing and confining dolphins should be regarded as unethical, possibly evil.

Dolphins Still Hunted And Slaughtered

It’s hard to imagine why thousands of dolphins are stabbed to death each year in the Japanese town of Taiji. The residents have been mostly silent since the release of the 2010 Academy Award-winning, Best Documentary, “The Cove,” which used drones to uncover Taiji’s annual dolphin massacres.

For their crimes against this beautiful species, the fishers have still not shared any explanations of substance, other than, “This is the only way our town makes money” and “We’ve been doing this for 400 years, so it’s okay.” No, it’s not, and no, it isn’t. It’s like saying, “Rape, war, and brutal patriarchy have been going on for over 5000 years, so we’re going to keep that going, too.”

If the townspeople could agree on a clear directive, there could be many ways they could improve-upon their economy, and without murdering thousands of dolphins each year. Even the whale statues at the entrance to Taiji seem metaphoric of the town’s values: rusty, old, and decrepit.

Who Was John Lilly?

John Cunningham Lilly (1915 – 2001) was a brilliant scientist, and a highly respected physicist, neuroscientist, psychoanalyst, and writer. He was also the inventor of floatation tanks. Lilly’s work and obsessions were at the epicenter of the 1960s cultural revolution. He worked for opposing groups at the National Institutes of Health (N.I.H.), helping to create dialogues between physical brain scientists and those focused on mental health. courtesy Flip Schulke Archives

Later he would experiment on live, monkey brains, without inducing major trauma or damage to brain tissue.

Lilly’s friends included Ram Dass, Werner Erhard, Timothy Leary, and a long list of controversial thought leaders of the time.

He and his fellow, counterculture warriors were experts at creating controversy and initiating transformative discussions.

After building countless bridges between several scientific communities, and long after he relished thousands of drug-induced, near-death experiences, Lilly died at age 86 of heart failure.

S.E.T.I.’s plan, set by Lilly, studied how bottlenose dolphins vocalize their desires and needs. At the forefront of this category of exploration, Lilly and his friends established pioneering laboratories in the U.S. Virgin Islands and San Francisco, that analyzed human-dolphin communications across 20 years. He and his team of scientists believed that communicating with dolphins could hold profound, life-changing secrets for human beings, the Earth, and beyond.

A fan of ingesting psychedelics while floating in isolation tanks, Lilly was the inspiration for the Hollywood movies, “The Day of the Dolphin,” and “Altered States.”

The Human Dolphin Relationship Aspect of S.E.T.I.’s Plan

Over 300,000 dolphins, whales, and porpoises die annually from being caught in fishing nets. Many, too, are captured and interred in tiny pools for our entertainment. When it comes to protecting and elevating the lives of cetaceans, there is much work to be done.

Several years ago, India officially declared dolphins to be non-human persons, with every right that enables their liberty. As such, the country declared dolphin theme parks to be illegal and required them to be shut down.

In Helsinki, Finland, leading marine scientists like Lori Marino, signed the Declaration of Rights for Cetaceans, stating, “We affirm that all cetaceans as persons have the right to life, liberty, and well-being.” Lori Marino’s work with dolphins, whales, and porpoises has demonstrated that their levels of self-awareness equal or rival that of human beings.

Referring to the personhood of dolphins, Marino said, “We are not alone in being the kinds of animals that reflect upon ourselves and put into perspective who we are.”

Are Dolphins Aliens Themselves?

Lilly and S.E.T.I. leaned on the idea that dolphins could be a highly evolved alien species, introduced to the Earth to help us assimilate to the other species and cultures throughout the galaxy. S.E.T.I.’s plan started forming.

Spiritual channelers, seers, and starlight souls, like Nina Brown and Grandma Chandra, believe that cetaceans arrived eons ago from planet Sirius B. This was long before humans arrived and imposed their three-dimensional, duality-based reality.

Some clairsentients believe that cetaceans were brought to our planet to uphold spiritual truths, and to infuse our ecosystems with bright, crystalline light. It appears to be entirely possible that these lovely, highly evolved, intelligent beings are far more expanded than other creatures on Earth.

With the planet consisting of two-thirds water, with only 5% explored, dolphins might be protecting us from realities and dimensions that we are neither prepared to accept, nor equipped to engage.

Beyond S.E.T.I.’s Plan: Are Dolphins Enlightened?

According to Thomas I. White, a philosopher at Loyola Marymount University, dolphins can monitor and control themselves, and frequently demonstrate a unique, aquatic morality, with clear sets of ethics. There are also hundreds of exciting stories referring to dolphins helping humans. All of this points to dolphins being genuine persons, and potentially more.

If we take this a step further, we might notice that dolphins have less attachment to physical objects. While they are adept at building and nurturing their families and communities, they do not seek to accrue wealth, enact heavy-handed leadership, or establish long-term, hierarchical, social positions. While they have individual personalities and understandings, they seem to have their egos in check.

Some tribal and native cultures see these intuitive creatures as spiritual masters who want us all to embody our true, soul-centered selves. It is in this way that we might consider dolphins and their brothers and sisters to be enlightened beings.

Dolphins and other cetaceans might be inviting us to improve our vibrational frequencies, so that we may achieve ascension beyond our limited self-identities.

Nefertiti: A Shutterstock Licensed Image

During 1353–1336 B.C., the Egyptian queen Neferneferuaten Nefertiti, and her husband, the “Alien Pharaoh,” a formidable warrior, led a religious revolution in Egypt. Was this major shift in ideology born from an intimate, personal evolution? Or were the King and Queen influenced by alien Beings who had been visiting the area for eons? And since there is no record of her parents’ place of origin, was Nefertiti from another world? The answers might lie in the hidden, burial chambers and secret altars of the powerful and mystical Queen Nefertiti, whom her husband saw as his equal.

Instead of paying homage to the over 2000 popular, Egyptian Gods, and honoring the stories handed down through the scribes of time, this courageous, royal couple opened their hearts to a single divine Being. In so doing, they introduced monotheism to the masses.

God’s name was Aten, also pronounced as Aten, Aton, and Itn, and he was embodied by the disc of the Sun, the mighty sphere that illuminates creation.

Was Aten An Alien?

It was said that Aten was the only God and one who could see into the hearts and minds of every worshiper. With his life-giving rays, Aten created the Nile for everyone’s sustenance and was the protector of creation.

In exchange for their loyalty to Aten, the devout people of Egypt would receive His blessings. Aten knew no bounds, and his instructions were seen as the only truth.

Was the Sun disc that the ancient Egyptians worshiped actually the Sun, or was the light-disc a piece of technology beyond their comprehension? How could the Sun share specific instructions? Were these ancient Egyptians interacting with a magnificent, verbal deity, or were they engaging with alien technology, misinterpreting their experiences as a spiritual phenomenon?

Was Nefertiti An Alien? Or Were Both King And Queen Hybrid Aliens?

The Egyptian hieroglyphs from that time illustrate Nefertiti and Akhenaten as having unique relationships with the Sun disc. According to a variety of these pyramid-sourced texts, the royal couple appears to have departed the Earth for periods of time.

There are similar texts showing their many returns to Earth. From this perspective, it appears that either Nefertiti, Akhenaten, or both of these influential people were extraterrestrials. The reason that the legends seem to favor Nefertiti as the alien is because no one has found any records that her parents ever existed.

What Were The Royal Couple’s Alien-Hybrid Characteristics?

The Queen and King had unique physical appearances when compared to the people of their time. Their specific features included more full hips, protruding bellies, thinner faces, and elongated facial features, plus the most remarkable aspect, elongated, cone-like skulls. These types of skulls had not appeared previous to their reign, nor since.

In the past decade, DNA samples were taken from several Egyptian pharaohs. Given the unusual prevalence of the CXPAC5 gene in Akhenaten’s mummy, there has been speculation that his genes may have been manipulated before his reign as Pharaoh.

Given that this gene is responsible for cortex growth, it would suggest that Akhenaten’s cranium housed a larger-than-normal cortex. When this idea is added to the questions surrounding the elongation of Nefertiti’s and Akhenaten’s skull, it provokes further curiosity.

All of this exploration points to one of the possible reasons why Nefertiti’s body has not yet been found: given her unusual physical makeup and DNA, she may have returned to her home planet shortly after her son, King Tut, passed away.

Where Might Nefertiti Have Been Buried?

Throughout Egypt, Nefertiti was known by many names, including “Lady of Grace” and “Sweet of Love.” She was known to be a spiritual, sensual, and fiercely independent woman.

Rumor has it that Nefertiti was so beautiful and powerful, that her husband could not bear the comparison between he and his wife. It is said that Akhenaten disowned Nefertiti near the end of his reign, but allowed her to remain in a position of queenly power. He may have done so because he feared her wrath.

We know that Nefertiti was perceived as the King’s equal because of how she was artistically represented in the Tombs of the Nobles at Armana. Armana is the burial site of the most powerful leaders, courtiers, and persons of the city of Akhetaten. It’s clear that Nefertiti was an iconic force to be respected.

Given how her image was positioned on her husband’s sarcophagus, she came to be known as the embodiment of Isis, and all of her magical and sexual prowess. With this label came the belief that Nefertiti participated in the daily rebirth of the cosmos. There could be a no more dominant position in Egypt or on Earth.

While Nefertiti and her husband reigned during the most affluent time in Egyptian history, we do not know whether their good fortune was born of this world or another. And we do not know where Nefertiti was buried, if at all.

In 2015, a deeper, high-resolution analysis of Tutankhamun’s tomb showed there are two unique door outlines within the tomb’s walls. These passages lead to adjacent, unexplored rooms. These two rooms may have been erected to add further secrecy and protection for Queen Nefertiti’s body.

Given that Tutankhamun died as a young boy might suggest that his subjects may have had to scurry to locate a proper burial chamber. Rather than keep his dead body in storage for several years, they may have swapped his body for Nefertiti’s, and placed her in a hidden side room.

Was This Nefertiti’s Altar?

In the Spring of 2001, I traveled through Egypt and was lucky to be invited into an ancient ceremony involving the God, Ra. It involved slicing our skin, merging our blood, and praising the eternal Sun of Light. I humbly declined and went back to a wild feast with my Bedouin friends, under the stars in the Cairo desert.

During this magical trip, I rode Arabian racehorses, listened to remarkable stories from John F. Kennedy’s 90 yr-old, now-blind, former, tour guide, and was invited into secret tombs that were closed to the public.

One of the tombs I visited had never been officially opened by either the government or local land authorities. It was a 2-hour horse-ride from the center of Cairo, far into the desert. When my guide brought us to a full stop, there was only sand in sight. As I meandered a bit, I noticed one of the mounds of sand had a structure beneath it.

My guide was negotiating with the gatekeeper, an angry man holding a machine gun. He waved at me to join them. When I greeted them, my guide told me to give the man $20 in exchange for the “experience of a lifetime.” What happened next blew my mind. I was shaking, but I could not have been more excited.

I was led to the structure under the sand mound, where there was a set of tall, wide, thick, wooden doors. I was told that I had 10 minutes to enter and enjoy what was behind them. My guide said to me,

“This is a secret place, known only to a handful of people. You are not welcome, but for these 10 minutes. This is Nefertiti’s private altar. You may sit near the altar, but do not touch it, as the Gods will know. You have 10 minutes.”

Behind the doors were 30 or 40 wide stairs. At the bottom was appeared to be a long table. I sat, not near the table, but atop of it, which is when I realized that this table was actually a beautiful, haunting and ornate altar.

A faint etching in the stone walls showed the light of Aten pouring onto the outreached arms of disciples. I knew I was in the right place, at the right time, and would never see anything like it again. Was this Nefertiti’s altar? Was I that lucky? I might never know the truth.
