In the lead up to the latest theatrical release from the acclaimed director of Close Encounters of the Third Kind, I have been interviewing people experiencing close encounters of the fifth kind: human initiated ET contact through consciousness, the metaphysical tissue connecting all forms of life throughout the universe.
