Cosmic-Kind: Consciousness and Contact — When ETs Drop Their Masks

What happens when you're having a peaceful conversation with two Native American elders in dream time—and something feels slightly off? For Rion De'Rouen, host of Cosmic-Kind, that subtle glitch led to one of his most memorable contact experiences. "I look at them and go, 'You can be honest with me. Just take the mask off,'" he recalls in the latest episode. "The two dudes looked at each other like, 'Are you sure?' The mask comes off—mantids, bro. Full-blown mandibles, the whole thing."

In episode 20, Consciousness and Contact, Rion and co-host Arcturus Ra dive deep into the mechanics of multidimensional awareness, why our brains block higher-dimensional memories, and how to finally break through the veil that keeps us from remembering who we really are.

Why Can't We Remember Our Dreams—Or Our Missions?

If you've ever woken up with the unsettling feeling that you were just somewhere important but can't recall a single detail, Rion has an explanation. "The human brain was designed to reference every single thing in the physical reality," he explains. "When something comes in that's outside of your normal awareness or you've never seen in the physical, your conscious mind pushes that into the subconscious and just blurs it out."

This is why so many people report recurring "airport dreams"—running late, can't find their bag, always in a rush. According to Rion, these aren't just anxiety dreams. "You could be getting picked up in the fourth dimension, fifth dimension, or higher, and you're getting on a spacecraft going from training facility to training facility, planet to planet. They're never going to show a human brain what that looks like until you've seen it yourself."

His advice? Start with pattern recognition. "When you're starting to see patterns—1:11, 3:33, 5:55 on the clock—that means you're starting to observe things outside of the matrix." He recommends keeping a dream journal (or voice recording on your phone), writing down questions before bed, and asking your higher self directly: "I want to know why I'm here. I want to see my 5D's face until I memorize it."

What Are the Signs You're Actually Talking to an ET?

Rion shares practical field intel for navigating contact experiences, whether in dream time or waking consciousness. "Pay attention to symmetry—it's the easiest giveaway that you're talking to an ET," he notes. "Number two, pay attention to what the conversation is. A lot of ETs will pretend to be human. They're wearing a mask."

Why the disguise? "Most humans aren't ready to see a mantid," Rion explains. "It could be a sexy Nord. It could be a little Val Thor. We can't tell." But once you develop enough comfort and awareness, you can simply ask them to reveal their true form—exactly as he did with the mantids.

The real issue, he emphasizes, isn't the appearance of these beings—it's fear. "'Have no fear' is said hundreds of times in the Bible," Rion points out. "When you have no fear and you're like, 'All right, cool, give me a second to reassimilate,' that's when real communication happens." He shares that many ground crew members may actually be the species they're interacting with. "What if you were a mantid soul in a human suit, and the human suit is spooked to talk to itself or a member of its own species? It's a very strange game they're playing down here."

Which Version of Yourself Are You Actually Contacting?

Perhaps the most profound question Rion poses in this episode: "In time-space, which version of yourself are you actually contacting, and which version of yourself do you really feel most akin to? Is it your Pleiadian? Your Andromedan? An Angelic? A Mantid? What is it in you that feels most like home?"

He describes the ancient builder race consciousness—the energetic signature that predates even the Lyrans, Draconians, and Anunnaki. "That raw energy, that ancient builder race version is the one I feel most like," he shares. For Rion, reading Gnostic texts and Sanskrit translations over morning coffee isn't academic—it's remembering. "Some of us have a very specific connection to the ancient builder race," he says.

The episode also covers practical ascension topics: decalcifying the third eye with tamarind and skate liver oil, the importance of trace minerals, sun charging protocols, and why horror films before bed might be tanking your dream recall. Rion gets candid about the challenges of remembering past lives and abilities: "It doesn't make your life easier to start remembering all your past lives. Some of us can literally build a spacecraft with our bare hands if we had our tools. They removed the tools. They removed the math. They removed the telepathy."

But the golden age is approaching, he assures viewers, and the collective is waking up. "What trauma have you overcome, and how can you help others that have had that same trauma move through it faster?" he asks. "Together we get through this much faster, and we can really get to enjoy the beginning of the golden age, which is upon us."
