My name is Reinerio (Rey) Hernandez and I was a Ph.D. Candidate at the University of California at Berkeley where I was the recipient of a National Science Foundation Ph.D. Fellowship. I am also an “Experiencer” of the paranormal Contact Modalities.This is a book about my personal experiences via the Contact Modalities, titled A Greater Reality: One Man's Journey of Discovery. This book discusses many of my personal experiences that I have kept hidden for many years because of fear that I would lose my law license and any academic credibility that I might have accumulated over many years of academic research. The book not only discusses the details of some of my most important bizarre experiences via the Contact Modalities, it also presents various theoretical hypotheses about the “Contact Phenomenon”, based upon my personal experiences, such as:1) that all of the Contact Modalities, including UFOs, have the ability to manipulate Space-Time;2) that the perceived physical beings we are experiencing, via NDEs, OBEs, UFO contact experiences, etc., and the telepathic communications we are receiving, are all “Holographic Projections” from an external non-physical source;3) that the intelligence behind the UFO contact phenomenon can “control” your conscious thoughts and even to “project” mental images and thoughts into your “Mind”;4) and many other hypotheses on the relationship between Consciousness and the Contact Modalities.I am currently the Director of the Consciousness and Contact Research Institute, or CCRI, an academic research institute comprised of more than 25 Ph.D. academics, medical doctors, and researchers whose mission is to explore the findings of consciousness research and the phenomenology of “paranormal experiences”, what CCRI calls “The Contact Modalities, a term I coined in 2013. The term “Contact Modalities” is defined as “all of the diverse ways that humans are ‘piercing the veil' of our physical reality and having perceived contact with consciousness-based Higher Forms of Intelligence”, also called “Non-Human Intelligence”. Examples of the Contact Modalities are as follows: Near-Death Experiences (NDEs), Out of Body Experiences (OBEs), Astral Travel Experiences (ATE), (which are very different from OBEs), Conscious Aerial Phenomena (CAP-UFOs), (commonly called UFOs or UAPs), contact experiences with perceived deceased humans (commonly called Ghosts or Spirits), contact experiences via Hallucinogenic Journeys (via entheogens such as DMT, Psilocybin, LSD, etc.), contact experiences via Remote Viewing or other forms of clairvoyance, contact experiences via Channeling or Mediumship, contact via the many forms of Post Death Communications, contact experiences via Lucid Dreams, contact via perceived Poltergeists experiences or spiritual attachments, and many other types of “paranormal” contact experiences with tens of thousands of diverse forms of Non-Human Intelligence, whether they be perceived as physical or non-physical.I, and a professional documentary team that has produced 10 Star Trek documentaries with William Shatner, have recorded hundreds of commercials, rock concerts, TV commercials, Super Bowl events, and other events, and have been working on a 2-hour documentary over the last 6 years.
