Constitutional Attorney | Harvard Law | Co-Founder, New Paradigm Institute

About

Daniel Sheehan is one of the most remarkable legal minds in American history — a Harvard Law-trained constitutional attorney who has been involved in some of the most consequential cases and social movements of the last half century. He represented the New York Times in the Pentagon Papers case. He was the chief counsel for the Iran-Contra Affair investigation. He worked with Karen Silkwood. He has also, for decades, been one of the legal architects of the UAP disclosure movement, briefing members of Congress, collaborating with insiders, and building the legal and political infrastructure for a formal acknowledgment of non-human intelligence. His New Paradigm Institute provides the intellectual and legal framework for the paradigm shift that full disclosure would require — in law, science, theology, and governance. Sheehan speaks with the calm authority of a man who has seen the documents.

The Mysterious Relationship Between UFOs & Human Consciousness

Among the many intriguing “issues” that are presented to our human family by our “encounters” with “The UFO Phenomenon”…and the “Beings” who appear to be the “Occupants” of these craft… ONE of these is the “alteration”…and then the eventual “heightening” or “expansion” …of the “state of consciousness” that one experiences as a result of such “encounters.” THIS “reality” is being experienced even by those who would seek to “attack”, “capture”, undertake to “reverse engineer”, and even deploy the technology of these UFO vehicles as weapons of war. What in the world is “going on” that is causing this effect? And what does this have to do with “Human Spirituality”… and even the different “Religious” Traditions that have been developed by our species?
