You experienced the "new age bullshit" yourself, including a form of contact, but don't believe in it?
The point of conscious contact is to see and feel ships of positive ETs. If you need a personal confirmation of ET life you can get it, no doubt, either through your own contact work or visiting places near Federation bases like ECETI ranch.
If you are severely alergic to famefagging and the dreaded 2letter-1number remember that the only thing you are doing is a sending meditation.
If you are a shill hellbent on destroying some imaginary narrative then I cannot help you and I won't reply further. I'm probably taking the bait as it is.
You will see things with your own eyes that will confirm it was not a mental construct. Seek truthfully and you shall find.
By Federation i mean the Galactic Federation/Confederation of Light, which is an earthly name for a positive union of good-natured ETs in the vast Universe. Think Space Patriots.
There can be lot of fighting and arguing here and I don't want to participate in it, because most of the time the intent is to do just that and not to search for the truth.
