Television producer and adventurer Robert Miles describes an extraordinary experience that began one morning aboard his boat in Honolulu. A woman materialized in his stateroom surrounded by dazzling colors and vibrating energy, instructing him to imagine himself at LaGuardia Airport. He found himself instantly transported there, boarded a circular craft, and took a brief flight during which he watched Earth shrink to the size of a dime through a porthole window.
At a briefing conducted by Federation commanders named Regent Vars and Exeus, Miles learned that Earth serves as a prison planet where deposed leaders from across the galaxy have been banished. He was shown images of ancient civilizations including Atlantis and Lemuria and told that wars on Earth target populations rather than leaders, perpetuating cycles of control. Miles says the experience permanently altered his worldview and inspired his book Safe Space.
Key Moments
Imagine you are in New York: Miles describes the woman in Hawaii telling him to imagine himself in New York City. He resists, she insists they will help him, and in an instant he is teleported to LaGuardia Airport.
Briefing at the spaceport: Miles describes arriving at a spaceport with white marble-like buildings, robed humanoid hosts, and an auditorium where he and roughly 50 other people, many from Earth, were brought in for a Federation briefing.
Vars and Exeus on the three-mile starship: Miles names his briefers - Federation starship commander Regent Vars and his spiritual mentor Exeus, the Federation high priest - and reveals their three-mile-long ship Titha was parked behind Jupiter.
Earth runs on implanted goals and fears: Asked if humanity is being controlled, Miles says yes - that war, poverty, disease, and starvation come from a mechanism of power and control built on implanted goals and fears, not from who humans really are.
