A Review of An Experiencer’s Garden, by Wes Roberts

 

(Toronto: Prometea Press, 2021). ISBN: 9781777135133

Several weeks ago I reviewed Wes Roberts’s first book, Intersections, cowritten with Lesley Mitchell-Clarke, a Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist who helped the author retrieve memories from numerous abductee/contactee experiences he has had over the course of his life.

Written three years later, An Experiencer’s Garden is a different type of book, and my focus here will therefore be different as well. While Intersections details Roberts’s experiences (both remembered on his own and through a series of hypnotic regression sessions), the follow-up is even more personal and intimate. At its core are Roberts’s theories and realizations about what has been happening to him since childhood and possible reasons why.

In a time of dangerous, misleading “disclosure” by the military–industrial–intelligence complex (most likely to fatten the budget of the “new” Space Force and private defense contractors not answerable to Congress or the American people), it is important to read Mitchell-Clarke’s foreword, which drops important keywords, such as “Milabs,” “Secret Space Program,” and “Twenty and Back.” If you are not familiar with these terms, you should be, because, according to experts with whom I have been speaking, some kind of false-flag or perhaps legitimate event is almost certainly on its way.

Roberts begins where nearly all experiencers have, with the fundamental question of “Why me?” The interesting thing in this case, though, is that these two provocative words, when used as the title of chapter 1, are a statement and not a question. Roberts has obviously given the question plenty of thought. Indeed, An Experiencer’s Garden is a textual record of all the working-through he has been doing. There have been plenty of data to process: abductions and dreamscapes since he was a teenager, some with conditions that sound at times very much like extreme psychological testing. There is forced extraction of sperm and resulting hybrid children; a lifelong relationship with an at-times female-presenting ET Roberts calls his Twin; council sessions with a mix of humans and ETs (a reason why the keywords from the foreword are so important); and descriptions of approximately a dozen of the 75 to 200 “documented” species of ET.

As fellow experiencers are aware, the implications of Roberts’s experiences are profound. Glimpses of the future; physical and psychological training (including ETs telling him to “do more” and “do better”); testing (including the insertion of a needle into the top of his head) and healing; telepathic communication; the fluid natures of time and space… Is there an agenda at work in all of these (in some ways) frightening experiences? I am becoming increasingly convinced that this is a dead-end question: perhaps these far-advanced beings have moved beyond the need for agendas. Maybe their reasons are simply too far outside of our limited human context to comprehend.

I have come to believe that in the case of my own 2009 experience with contrived “sets” of a farm and auto garage and telepathic communication directing me to let go of my analytical mind and just believe in what I was seeing that it was purely opportunistic. I had sensed an otherworldly presence while exploring some abandoned TNT storage facilities in the woods of West Virginia and that presence tested me with a glimpse of a teleporting interdimensional being and then, after I had seen that being over the roadway, with the abduction experience itself.

The beings then determined that I was “not a good candidate” (a phrase repeated in my mind at the time and repeated by me several times during hypnotic regression). A candidate for what? This returns us to the idea of a possible agenda versus reasons beyond our ability to comprehend them. Roberts, as well as my wife, seem to be good candidates… they have had dozens of these experiences over the course of their lives, including both of them having contact with Pleiadians, some of the most benevolent of documented ET races. 

To help the reader navigate this admittedly complex subject, Roberts has included Comment boxes (shaded in grey) as well as ample illustrations from his journals. He has also included appendices comprising 63% of the book. Although this is unusual—as Roberts himself expresses—these extended deep-dives into these phenomena are wholly essential reading. It is here that Roberts’s philosopher archetype is strongest. I therefore find immense value in seeing his thought processes and philosophies unfolding upon the page. It is in the appendices that he talks about Remote Viewing and Robert Monroe’s Hemi-Synch (both of which were coopted by the CIA), and there are several numbered or bulleted lists parsing out complex issues, such as overcoming bias, deepening our understanding of the phenomena, dream recall, and otherwise expanding our toolbox.  

Roberts is also a practicing magician. In my thirteen years of research into the paranormal, I have found other instances of UFOlogists/experiencers also being magicians. Albert Bender and John Keel readily come to mind. Magicians have also been some of the most vicious cynics (not to be confused with skeptics) concerning UFO and haunting/mediumship phenomena. Here I think of James Randi and Penn Jillette. Harry Houdini’s relationship to the paranormal was exceedingly complicated, changing as it did over time. But there’s more. Leading scientists, such as Dean Radin at the Institute of Noetic Science (founded by Edgar Mitchell after his profound experiences during the moon missions), have said that there are types of magic (not stage, for instance) that are real. Roberts also examines the ideas of magical thinking, using spells, the magical power of the Triad, and the Law of Attraction. He also covers the “illusion of time,” which accounts in part for some surprising revelations about our relationship to at least some of the beings that are visiting our planet and dimension. Roberts extends this examination to consider their shapeshifting and bi-location abilities and the often remarked-on consideration/limitation that their energy levels are not yet something that most humans can handle without physical and psychological damage.

There is a tremendous amount of good news in Roberts’s work. As he examines the role of the Unified Field Theory (and, although he doesn’t use these terms, Indra’s Net, the Akashic Record, and the ether) I have to smile. There are some very smart people with whom I have recently spoken who are working with extending the UFT into something new that might very well account for more of what we call the paranormal, or using these principles to help further humanity’s spiritual elevation. Both the scientific and spiritual will lead us toward raising our energy vibration to better understand and interact with beings from other places, spaces, and dimensions, to say nothing of the information we might also be able to access to better the planet and ourselves.

Whether you are an experiencer, a researcher, or someone committed to altering the dangerous path on which humanity finds itself, An Experiencer’s Garden offers honesty, answers, and companionship on this admittedly fascinating journey toward something better than the fiction that humanity is alone in its intelligence and the undisputed overlord of the Universe.
