" There are a lot of aliens out here tonight, so I will tell you about a part of me that is extra-terrestrial. To do so, I first have to tell you the story of my life... There is time enough for it...

At school I always had the feeling I was different. I wasn't like the rest. Later, at highschool, we went to Friesland, to a center, it was for a... vormingsweek... Is there anyone who knows the English word for it..?

I guess not... Anyway, we played games, held discussions. One afternoon we had to sit in a circle, we all had a piece of paper in front of us. We put our names at the top of them, and then the papers were circulated. Everyone wrote on my piece of paper what he or she thought about me, just as I wrote down what I thought about the others. We had been working for days to get an open atmosphere, so everyone really wrote down what he or she thought. Well, then the moment came that the papers had made the full circle... The piece of paper with my name on it came back to me...

There it was, a dry throat... I read what they had written. A lot of classmates had written: "nice, but strange... " Exactly the feeling I had about myself.

After highschool I started to study law. I liked it at first, later on not. Then I went to an academy of fine arts. I thought: now I'm going to do what I really want to do, I will meet people doing their own thing. There will be communication...

But again, it felt as if there was a wall between me and the others. Like I came from an other planet. I quit the academy and did all sorts of things. At a certain moment I read about aurareading. There are people who can read aura's... I never had understood anything about myself, so I thought, let's have a reading. I went to a center for intuitive development, three students were sitting face to face to me, making jokes, making strange sounds. They read my aura. It was really good, it went to the heart...

I was happy, I went for a pizza. I don't know why, but when I'm happy I eat a pizza.

Later on I followed courses and did a training in aurareading myself. During that training I had a reading done by a teacher, it was really amazing... I wrote a story, there is a quote from that reading in it. I will read it out to you now... "

"The way I see it... I see a sort of a very big shining dome far in the distance, and a very big throne and I see a lot of staircases going up and there, like you see it, sits an enlightened being. I see a lot of rays coming from that enlightened being, all sorts of paths, in all kinds of directions, and it is as if you are one of those rays. As if you are an incarnating energy send out by that being. At the same time I see another part of you, your own being, that clearly chooses to make contact with this being, a sort of marriage, to get an incarnation on that ray, and that's you. You're doing two things at the same time, on the one hand... gee, what's it like to incarnate, what's it like to be on earth, on the other you are manifesting the energy of that cosmic being, carry it out by your being. It's darting, it's very quick, very bright and very quick. Very mercurial. When I see it as a function, it is like you have a function as a messenger, as if your energy can bring so much lightness on earth. As if you are both experiencing the weight of the body, its materiality, and at the same time keeping that lightness."

" So, now I understood that feeling of being different! I understood I was tuned into an extra-terrestrial energy. I learned I could tune in, but also to tune out, get my attention back here on earth. A good thing...

I told you I wrote a story. I tried to publish it here in Holland, but I always got it back without a word of commentary, it just met dead-silence. So, I thought, maybe in the United States there are people who will like to read it. So, a few months I've been working to publish the story on internet.

Last wednesday it was ready. I just had to do one little last thing. I don't have my own pc, so I went to an internetbar to make that last adjustment on line. They've got their homemade interface there, yes there are a few bugs in it, what happens?... the connection broke down. My whole homepage was fucked up! Like scrambled eggs, I've got a scrambled homepage...

I guess you all heard about the comet that is passing the earth... "
- Hale-Bopp!
"Yeah, Hail Bopp. There is an UFO in the slipstream of it. A group of people in California killed themselves to go with the UFO. They were on internet, and I was in contact with them. I said: I want to go with you. You know what they said? They said: You can't come with us because you're homepage is fucked up. Can you imagine? Because my homepage is fucked up...

I have to stay on earth... for an other 281 years! This is the story of my life. I'm sorry, but you're stuck with me... "
