and an advisory Committee member of Exopolitics. She organised the inaugural 'Hidden Truths' international conference held in Perth, Western Australia in 2003. Mary Rodwell has researched more than three thousand cases and suggests ET encounters are a global phenomenon, which is evident in the New Humans. She affirms that ‘Star’ children exhibit a maturity and wisdom beyond their years and have an awareness and connection to spiritual realms. ‘Indigo,’ ‘Crystal’ or ‘Rainbow children have telepathic abilities, are spiritually awakened, and they describe many species of nonhuman visitors, with a feeling that they are as real to them as their own family because of their support. Mary’s research also explores evidence from a scientific, biological, psychological, anthropological, spiritual and historical perspective to support what she believes is a ‘genetic’ engineering program, for ‘upgrading’ Homo Sapiens, leading to a paradigm shift in human consciousness. Data suggests children are being altered and transformed on many levels through extraterrestrial encounters. Some of the latest DNA research that could qualify how this upgrading occurs and how it may be linked to such conditions such as ADHD, Asperger’s and possibly Autism is also explored as many of these individuals demonstrate awareness of the non-physical realms. Although many medical professionals claim to be sceptical about Contact experience, in November 2003 Mary’s work was featured when she was interviewed for the article Alien Invasion: Why We Need to Believe in Australian Doctor Focus Magazine, and a growing number of professionals in the medical community now share similar conclusions and have spoken publicly. These people include the late world- renowned Harvard Medical School professor of psychiatry, Dr. John E. Mack, author of Passport to the Cosmos and Dr. Janet Colli, author of Sacred Encounters. Mary has lectured in Hong Kong, USA, Canada, Hawaii, UK, Ireland, Franc e, Malta and New Zealand, appearing regularly in national and international media news programs and in documentaries including: OZ Files: My Mum Talks to Aliens, featured on SBS Australia in 2010, and now shown globally; Paranormal Files in the UK for BBC TV, and Animal X for the Discovery Channel, as well as participating in University debate forums on this phenomenon, including Oxford University (UK) in 2006 and Australian National University, Canberra in 2010. Mary’s full profile was included in the Biographical Encyclopaedia of People in Ufology and Scientific Extraterrestrial Research (2008) for Times SQ Press. In addition, she has produced a collection of meditation and relaxation CD’s. ‘Awakening: How Extraterrestrial Contact Can Transform Your Life’ was re- published by New Mind Publishers in 2010, and author and Physician, Dr Roger Leir was quoted as saying, “In my opinion this book will become the Bible of the Alien Abduction Phenomenon.” (Source reference for material in this article: www.maryrodwell.com.au)
