Xendra, an Inter-dimensional Portal was opened at the Rahma Contact Site called “Shasta.”

Xendra, Portal of light

September 1994

A member of my Los Angeles based CE-5 Working Group, Captain Joe Vallejo, told me that a major event had occurred with a large group belonging to the contact network known back in the 1990s as Mission Rama. They now go by the name Rahma. It took place not in Latin America where most of their “encuentros” (encounters in Spanish) have occurred, but rather in Northern California at a place simply referred to as “Shasta.” (This site is in fact quite a distance from Mt. Shasta.)
Captain Vallejo was a jet pilot working for United Airlines and he had been active with a San Francisco based Rama team for about a year. As it was explained to me, their current name “Rahma” was derived from the ancient Sanskrit words “Ra” for God and ma for mother. The letter “h” stands for humanity situated between the divine Ra and Mother Earth.

Mission Rama’s leader in the San Francisco Bay area was Dr. Fernando Limaco, a retired dental surgeon originally from Peru. His group long ago purchased a remote piece of land in Northern California in order to do human initiated contact work there.

I had a general idea of the site’s location from Joe’s description of his ten-hour drive up from Los Angeles. However, until I finally made it up there in 2004, I never realized what a difficult journey it was. The exact location has always been kept confidential and instructions as to how to get there are usually given in person, not on the phone. The event I now describe gives an indication of why confidentiality is of importance.

The property sits in the foothills of the Northern California Coastal Range. During the 1990s the closest house to the property was about a half-mile away. A dirt road through rolling hills is the only access. In rainy season during winter months, mud, freezing rain and snow often made 4-wheel-drive required for vehicles to reach the site. All activities were done exclusively in Spanish, a language that I learned in high school and kept up with as part of my medical practice because of the large Hispanic population in Los Angeles. I was privileged to do fieldwork with Dr. Limaco’s contact team in 2004, 2006 and 2009.

United 747 pilot Joe Vallejo told me that a dimensional portal was opened one August night in 1994. The name of this type of device is “Xendra.” The “X” is pronounced as a “s.” It was via this kind of teleportation device that Sixto Paz Wells, a founding member of Rama in Peru, was reportedly transported to an ET base on a moon of Jupiter in 1974. The name of that Jovian satellite is Ganymede. It is the largest of Jupiter’s moons. Soon after Wells’ Xendra experience, an entire team of Rama contact activists reported that they too had made a journey to Ganymede via the dimensional portal.

The Northern California the Rama site for staging encounters is located near a stream than runs through hills that are quite steep, about 250 feet high. Joe told me that on the night the dimensional portal opened, the Rama people followed their usual contact preparations. After a light evening meal of fruit, the forty plus Hispanic contact activists formed a circle and started chanting. “Ohm.” After a while, a faint violet colored light appeared in the field just twenty yards away from where the group was standing.

The light hovered about 7 feet above the ground. It quickly enlarged extending to the left and right forming a doorway like structure made of violet light. Dr. Limaco explained that the group had just opened a dimensional portal. He emphasized that in order to keep it materialized, the entire assembly needed to keep chanting. According to Captain Joe’s account, the senior Rama people then moved through the crowd, instructing them to form seven groups, each with seven individuals. They were informed that they would have an opportunity to briefly enter the Xendra, thus permitting them to experience what it was like to stand in the teleportation device. Assurances were given that they would not leave the contact site.

Over the next hour seven groups of seven people each were instructed to go into the portal made of light and stand briefly inside the Xendra. Those in the Xendra, as well the crowd outside continued to chant “OOHHHMMM” throughout the entire ceremony. Captain Vallejo’s group was the last to enter. At that point people had been standing and chanting for well over an hour and were some beginning to get fatigued.

Captain Vallejo described the dimensional portal as being a tight space similar to an elevator. People had to crowd together to fit in. In the darkness, the walls were indistinct; the only illumination being provided was from the faint purple light that formed the doorway. As soon as they entered the Xendra the Rahma activists noticed that the sound produced by their chanting was altered. Joe said it was muffled as if they were speaking underwater. He also found that there was a change in the way in which they moved while huddled together. Everything seemed to be slowed down.

After a few minutes, he and the others inside the portal noticed that the chanting from the crowd outside had become less vigorous. As the sound of their voices decreased, to the dismay of those inside the Xendra, the violet light coming from the doorway started to fade. In addition, the walls of the elevator like structure in which they were standing became even more indistinct.

Joe told me that he was worried about what might happen if the portal collapsed with them still inside. He did not know what could occur and he was sure that he didn’t want to find out. Without exchanging a word, Captain Joe and his six companions chanted louder. To their relief the violet light from the doorway became brighter and the walls of the claustrophobic space in which they stood became more solid. They emerged from the Xendra with no ill effects. Joe told me that the entire group was enchanted by the experience.

For the next year the word “Xendra” could be heard throughout the Rama network. I was busy with my own organizing efforts for the CE-5 Initiative and was only able to attend one Rama outing near Pasadena in 1994. It was with a local Southern California group that was very different from Dr. Limaco’s team. Although a few anomalous nocturnal lights were seen, nothing as dramatic as the opening of a dimensional portal occurred. For over twenty years, I had been aware of this amazing event of the contact network now called Rahma. In 2014, I was given permission by Dr. Limaco to openly share this information.
