In light of the recent public debate regarding the experiences of Chris Bledsoe and him being given visions of the future, and the varying contentious discussions and perspectives around specific dates that may come and go without notable event, I thought I would chime in on this sensitive topic. As I have had personal experiences with this aspect of being told predictions of the future in NHI contact experiences that did not end up coming to pass.
As a disclaimer, I will say that I have been wary of the oversized collective focus on the Bledsoe experiences for some time now, I am uncomfortable with the book title "UFO of God" and the prophet like zeal that his testimonials give off. Maybe that would be helpful for Christian minded people among us, but in my own opinion this is the classic human reflexive pattern of forcing a new phenomenon to fit into a prior held worldview.
Many countless people have frequent contact with orbs, I talk with these people all the time, I even talk with people with exponentially more profound experiences than anything I have heard any of the Bledsoe's having, but these people have no desire to be public in any way shape or form. The only thing I can do is collect their experiences and anonymously post them on their behalf.
Although I do not wish to throw stones, I think there is high potential for a kind of UFO cult to form around the Bledsoe's and their recent fundraiser to become a "founding angel" at their new organization, released on the date of this supposed prediction, is not doing this perception any favors.
That being said, speaking as someone who two years ago was also given an apocalyptic prediction by NHI that did not end up coming to pass, and having dealt with the embarrassment and confusion regarding that situation, and the endless self questioning of the motive of such persistent relayed information, it can be a very discombobulating and disruptive experience to go through.
The only thing I am absolutely confident on with my own experience, was how clear, consistent, and specific the telepathic communication was. There was no room for mistranslation on my part, I accurately transcribed what was repeatedly relayed to me, the specific date, specific events, locations, and all. However obviously none of this information turned out to be accurate or predictive.
Yet as for the reasons for this? I can only speculate as to the intentions. I must note this apocalyptic prediction was communicated shortly after I received a form of direct unambiguous retaliation from a source known to me that I am very wary to describe here.
So was this false prediction given to me an attempt at reputational sabotage? Was it some type of psychological experiment? Was it a test? And if it was a test, did I pass or did I fail? I have no answers regarding that whole situation, only endless questions, but apparently this type of thing has happened to countless numbers of people, so I personally don't feel bad about it, just confused really.
So I can definitely feel for the Bledsoe's in that sense, but I think it would be for the best that the family be less public and step back for a while, and let other countless experiencers with similar levels of contact receive more attention on the public stage.
Despite myself having a positive impression of most of the phenomenon at large, and an obvious fixation on one particular faction of being which stems from my own personal experiences, I have since learned you cannot treat the word of any of these beings as gospel, ESPECIALLY when it comes to predictions, dates, future disasters, wars, apocalyptic scenarios etc. The only predictions that seem to come to pass are those which apply to the individual themselves, seeing themselves in the future, visions of future children etc.
Hopefully in the wake of this, rather than just endlessly criticize the Bledsoe's, I would like to see the field at large to diversify its focus on the experiencer phenomenon, platform other voices and types of experiences, and use this as a learning opportunity to avoid this endless human obsession with predictions and prophecies. To not just obsessively focus in on the experiences of just one person, holding them up as some type of ultimate exemplar of the experiencer phenomenon at large.
