Late that night, I returned and slept in Shari's old room. That morn- ing I awoke very early, sat up in bed and meditated. I quietly marked the time, because I knew the exact hour and moment, adjusting for time zones, of her passing.
The woman who had taken care of Shari suddenly knocked at my door, "It's time - she is close to passing." she said. "You're all dressed and ready to go!" she said, with a surprised look.
I arrived before the others and spent time alone with Shari, taking her into the state of infinite peace and love and into that unbounded state of pure cosmic mind
that awaits us. As others gathered, we said prayers together, standing around her bed in a semi-circle.
At a certain moment, after we prepared her spiritually and connected her to God, I turned to her and said, "Now, let go of all things, Shari, and go into the eternal Light."
And with that, she took her last breath, and ascended to Providence. Her passing was beautifully peaceful; even so, I was devastated. Suddenly, there was an extraordinary power that entered the room. It felt like the darshan or spiritual field of a highly enlightened Avatar— like a breeze of powerful divine energy that swept through the room and completely through me. It was physically palpable! I then knew she went to the highest level. And then I completely fell apart!
All of us need to care for one another in this way at the time of our passing; we all need the help, prayers and spiritual power of each other, so that we rise to the highest and best spiritual state possible at the moment of our transition to the next plane.
The night of her passing I wrote the following tribute: "Shari Adamiak passed on to the world of Light today, January 20, 1998 at 9:50 A.M. MST. Shari made her transition in the presence of friends and loved ones, peacefully and without pain. I ask that everyone pause to say a prayer for Shari and the progress of her soul in the presence of God. What words can contain our sense of loss and the love we all shared with Shari.
Since 1991, when we first met at a lecture in Los Angeles, Shari has been a pillar of strength and support, an indefatigable colleague, a true friend, an intrepid fellow explorer, an irreplaceable confidant and a fear- less lioness without whose dedication CSETI could not have realized its many historic achievements.
She has been my right hand and trusted assistant for over six years. Whether braving the dangers of the remote parts of Latin America or assisting with meetings at the offices of the Joint Chiefs of Staff in the Pentagon, Shari was there with me - and for all of us. She never faltered and she never gave up.
Unfazed by the barbs of critics or the machinations of relentless covert operations, she resolutely worked for a time of peace - a peace universal, for the Earth and for countless worlds beyond.
How many wonders did we witness together? From walking in the shadow of some of the world's largest volcanoes with ET spacecraft float- ing silently above us, to watching a dozen top-secret military witnesses tell an assemblage of Congressmen the truth about UFOs, Shari and I saw events unfold of such great significance. And through it all, Shari was filled with a joy, an excitement and energy, an almost childlike curiosity and wonder at the mysteries of creation and the astonishing potential of these times.
Even as her body began to fail her, she evinced a spirit of such grace, courage and love that all those who knew her were amazed and blessed by her example.
Just two months ago, in November of 1997, she journeyed to Joshua Tree wilderness in California with me. There she experienced what she loved most: the oneness with the stars, the universe and the communication with those peoples from other planets visiting our turbulent world. Fighting weakness, pain and increasing paralysis of her right arm and leg, Shari went into the desert each night, undeterred by the grow- ing obstacles posed by her physical condition. And there, through the crossing point of light, we saw the depths of space and the people and spacecraft from other worlds, who await our own coming of age as a people. Nothing would keep her from this purpose.
Now, a great light has gone from this world, but it shines forever brightly in the realms of eternity. I know Shari was ready for this great journey: Precisely seven mornings before the morning of her passing, we crossed over together to the other side, if only for a while. Awestruck, we witnessed a Light - a Presence- so beautiful, emanating from the center of creation. No words can depict it; it was beyond anything the intellect can grasp. An infinite brilliance, golden while in the center and becoming more peach, pink and magenta as it expanded infinitely before us, suffused us in a sea of love, joy and beauty unlike any experience of my life. It was the experience of the consciousness of God - pure light, unspeakable love and peace. And permeating that Spot were millions of voices joining as one, singing a melody too sweet to recall. And the refrain was: We are all One in Spirit".
Knowing her time was near, I came to Denver yesterday to see her to the other side. Last night while saying prayers, she emerged from the coma, and with a look of great joy on her face, opened her eyes. I told her all was ready. I could hear her acknowledge these words, and a large tear welled up in her eyes as she knew that our time together in this world was nearly over.
This morning, we were called to her bedside. As we gathered, we said prayers and prepared her spiritually for the transition. As lights and a great spirit filled the room, we said it was time, and I said: "Shari, go into the eternal Light." With that, she took her final breath and ascend- ed to Providence.
Even while knowing the joy and love of her present state, the loss is nonetheless severe, but let us remember her thus: She lived in the world of Light, joyous, and she would want us to continue the work to which she dedicated her life - the establishment of Universal Peace, and the creation of a cosmic civilization.
And we find hope in the knowledge that those who have passed on to the next world become the leaven which raises this world of existence. Shari and I discussed her future work, from beyond the veil of light, which would advance the cause of peace and enlightenment in all the realms of God. I have no doubt that she will serve well from her new home in the eternal and become one with the angels of peace.
Without peace, there can be no progress on the Earth. So let us work for peace with hearts filled with love. For when we pass from this world, all we really take with us is love - endless, infinite love."
The night of her passing after writing her tribute I went into a very deep sleep and had an extraordinary experience with an ET. I awakened into a lucid dream with an extraterrestrial who we now call Kindness who was being introduced to me by Shari. She was an ET that was so evolved that she could communicate with both Shari in her astral light body and me simultaneously.
This being, a female extraterrestrial, had a perfectly round head, no hair, and really exotic, beautiful eyes and a very beautiful face. She was very slender and fine-featured. As we connected with each other, she exuded the most extraordinary kindness. She was the embodiment of perfect kindness—very kind, very loving.
As I was talking to her, at some point I asked, "Do we have your per- mission now to do this Disclosure of the truth ourselves? The President has failed to act, the international community has failed to act, and the Congress has been intimidated or is frightened or corrupt."
Kindness said, "Yes, if you can, do it."
If you can, do it. And so, it was green lighted by this very senior ET ambassador.
So from '98 on, we put together the plans for the 2001 Disclosure, knowing that it was approved by this extraterrestrial the night after Shari passed away. And this after the head of intelligence for the Joint Chiefs of Staff had said something very similar.
Interestingly, in this same lucid dream, I was with Bill Clinton and we were having a discussion about this. And with a very sardonic smile, he said, "Well, I can't do this, but you can." And, of course, what he was saying is that "I won't do it because it's too dangerous, but why don't you?" John McCain is right when he says that courage is the indispensable quality for real leadership.
