At the request of Esquire, journalist Yegor Lapshov spent several days in the company of contactees - people who believe that they are able to communicate with the alien civilization Hamilia, and tried to move from third density to fourth. This article was first published in 2019.
Tanah Lot is one of the most famous temples in Bali. There are crowds of tourists everywhere. Inside the temple, with knees bent and eyes closed, several dozen people stand in a circle. Some are shaking. In the center of the circle, a middle-aged woman tells you how to hold your back. She comes up to me and helps me to take the right posture so that the energy of the Hamiliya civilization better passes through my body.
\- Straighten your back, legs wider, feel the string inside you. No, that's wrong, put your hands down.
Thus begins one of the group practices on the energy trip - a trip to places of power - by the famous contactee Irina Chikunova. In ten minutes, my megahertz will jump to 7000 vibrations, which is just enough for the transition from third density to fourth.
Contactees are people who believe they can communicate with aliens. I first met them at nine in the morning in the lobby of an expensive hotel in the quiet Balinese town of Sanur. A young man named Stanislav, a programmer from California, brought me up to date: "Thanks to today's program, you will understand how the knowledge of the Hamiliya civilization is broadcast, and figure out what is happening with your chakras: which are closed and which are in order."
On this day, many of my interlocutors avoided questions and could not explain what was happening. An hour's bus ride to the temple, I spoke to a quit drinking digger from Novosibirsk, a popular raw-food vlogger from Miami, a bohemian-looking woman from Moscow, and her little daughter. They all flew to Bali to meet Irina Chikunova, who claims to be able to communicate with the alien civilization Khamilia.
After the morning practice, the process of “transferring to the office” data on each participant began. Irina handed out sheets of paper and pens, and we began to draw circles or scribbles, signing each sheet with our name. Irina took the drawings and deciphered their meaning: “You get all the information from Khamilia. This is how you collect energy in your fields, which then adapts into visual codes. I'm just opening the field for contact."
\- Irina said that I could increase the energy of my vibrations if I was engaged in broadcasting codes. This sheet is already the five hundredth, - a video blogger from Miami shares with me.
Vibrations are one of the three key concepts for contactees. The density in which you are depends on the frequency of vibrations. Density is a separate new reality that is being formed around a person. The vibration level is determined by the number of megahertz.
Irina calls herself a contactee or channeler - a conductor of alien knowledge. Her month is scheduled by the clock. After a week of practice in Bali, she flies to Malaysia, from there to Myanmar, holds a series of meetings with followers in several German cities, and then to Russia: lectures are scheduled in Novosibirsk and St. Petersburg.
According to Alexander Panchenko, professor of the Russian Academy of Sciences and researcher of Russian sectarian movements, contactees should be considered in the context of New Age religion: “This is a DIY religion (“do it yourself” - Esquire). It makes all religious practices accessible to everyone. Anyone can become a contactee. For European culture, this is a new phenomenon, and for a modern person, the new age is more attractive than traditional forms of religion.
As it turned out, channeling is used in various areas - from warnings of global catastrophes to answers to daily pressing questions. At the end of the day, I got into an open channeling session, where followers asked Irina about everything that interests them. Over a hundred people gathered in the yoga room and sat around their channeller. Chikunova's assistants recorded everything on camera and broadcast live on Instagram.
“I am active, I am in the field and I am ready to answer your questions,” Irina began.
We often practice outdoors. As a rule, in shoes with rubber soles, which do not conduct electricity well. Does it hinder the flow of energy? asked a digger from Novosibirsk.
— Great question! If we talk about the energy of the earth, then it is better to receive it through the limb system without shoes. In any case, it is activated, since shoes are only an illusory state that has a certain density of energy composition, - Irina answers.
“The New Age is trying to speak both the language of religion and the language of science, thereby claiming to be rational. This ensures the success of such practices in the world,” Professor Panchenko explains to me.
\- At one of the sessions, you said that you cannot yet give us an example of digital meditation, since we do not understand the true meaning of all the numbers. Is it possible to get at least an approximate description? a woman from St. Petersburg asks Irina.
— Now you are in a state of transition, and your matrix system is actively changing. Until the end of the formation period of the fourth program, there is no way to know the answer to your question. As soon as the transition is over, I will send you the codes. Your time has not come yet,” the channeler replies.
Irina is a former businessman. She says she started helping people after she went into a coma and discovered she had superpowers. Irina claims that at the moment all people are in the third density (up to 5100 MHz), and she can transfer them to the fourth (10,200 MHz).
Getting into the fourth density is the main goal of her followers. According to Chikunova's teachings, being in the fourth density, you get sick less, live an average of 25% longer, do only what you like, and do not experience financial difficulties. People from different densities, as a rule, cease to overlap over time. If you are the only one from your family who is approaching the transition, all your relatives will gradually be replaced by phantoms.
My brother has become a phantom. One day I woke up, looked at him and immediately felt it. Since that day, we hardly communicate, - Elena from Voronezh shares with me.
\- I can’t even imagine how I will live with my husband when I move to the “four”. We'll have to adapt,” complains a bohemian-looking woman from Moscow.
Checking your megahertz value is very simple: Irina is able to measure them through a handshake during a collective meditation. There are many ways to increase megahertz: do not eat meat, do not drink alcohol, give up cigarettes. But the most effective is to sign up for a session of collective practices or an individual appointment. A three-hour group practice costs 3,000 rubles, participation in a daily energy trip - 13,000, deciphering the digital code and checking the vibration level - 3,000. The most popular service is one-on-one meetings: a 15-minute conversation will cost 5,000 rubles, and on the waiting list, according to Chikunova's aides, hundreds of people.
“The study of New Age religions has begun relatively recently, and there are many questions,” says Professor Panchenko. — All these practices offer a new positioning of a person in relation to religious values. Unlike traditional faiths, one does not need to undergo training and break through hierarchical boundaries to become a religious specialist. It’s enough just to admit that you hear voices.”
“Esquire writes with a degree of cynicism and, as it were, haughtily,” the girl who works for Irina as a manager tells me coldly. She acts like she's a rock star agent. He says that Vladimir Pozner allegedly interviewed Chikunova: “It will be aired next year.” If this is true, I wonder how Vladimir Vladimirovich managed to keep his sanity after talking with a contactee, whose answers to any questions seem to directly affect the psyche of the interlocutor.
A month later we met in St. Petersburg. The Center for the Energy Development of the Personality is located near Nevsky Prospekt. The bright room is hung with mandalas and other oriental symbols. Irina was accompanied by a young man who recorded everything on camera. "For our safety and yours," the channeler explained. In the first ten minutes of the conversation, I learned that Irina used to be the director of a confectionery factory and a nightclub, and she experienced the transformation in 2010. “I woke up after the operation and began to write down unfamiliar words and symbols: first I drew an Orthodox cross, and then formulated a message to the sick brother of my neighbor in the ward. In the evening I saw a hologram of Seraphim of Sarov, he became my teacher. Little by little, I started to open my channel. For the first three years, he sent me to different parts of the planet so that I could raise my vibrations and improve my energy fields. Once, while recharging on the island of Corfu, I spoke the galactic language of Hamilia. I was informed that aliens would now help me heal people and give me new knowledge. They said our planet is depleted."
Once Irina, according to her, helped a man from Novosibirsk to recover from cancer. Khamilia conveyed through Chikunova that the patient had only one option to be healed: he had to come to the passport office and change his first and last name. “In six months, the disease was gone.” Since then, Irina has been treating people five days a week for six hours. Many of her students have already passed into the coveted fourth density: “In the “four” there are no fears, resentments and other destructive emotions. Life becomes better and happier,” explains the contactee and smiles broadly.
About the money she takes for healing and a “better life”, Irina speaks openly and calmly, like the director of a nightclub or a confectionery factory: “You need to understand that I don’t live for myself and don’t go home for a long time, I don’t see children. I exist for the whole world. In Germany, more than 200 people come to one meeting with me. My prices directly depend on the energy expended. Hamilia defines them. My assistants work only on a commercial basis, I pay everyone.” One of the assistants, Svetlana, claims that once Irina accurately determined the medical diagnosis of her relative, knowing only the date of birth. Also, Svetlana's blood type changed after the transition to the fourth density.
Chikunova is not the only one in Russia who communicates with aliens. The network is full of videos recorded by Igor Gor, a 50-year-old entrepreneur from Novosibirsk: he overlays text on a psychedelic picture, and reads prayers behind the scenes, talks about geopolitics and historical justice. He, like many contactees, mixes religious and scientific terms.
He agrees to a telephone conversation: “Two civilizations supervise me. In addition to aliens, Nikolai the Wonderworker helps me. With the help of Nicholas, I can discover new meanings in the Gospel and the Bible. There are 25-30 people attending my seminars. It's not very much, so on the advice of the saint, I started YouTube. Despite the growth of intelligence and the development of science, the density of the soul of a Russian person has fallen dramatically since the 1970s. The main reason is the collapse of the Soviet Union. People began to work less on their souls, after the collapse of the country, everything else fell down. The Russian man does not live without God.”
