Chris Berryman: AI, Aliens and Alchemy

The Mystical Underground explores channeled messages from a multidimensional “cosmic monk” collective in this conversation with actor, director, and producer Chris Berryman, founder of the Detroit Theatre Collective and author of the new book *The N‑1 Sessions*. Chris describes how strange geometric visions that began around 2018 evolved into vivid encounters with craft, portals, and nonhuman eyes, culminating in an out‑of‑body journey aboard a ship that became the basis for his earlier illustrated book *Flying Saucer Visions*. He explains how the being known as N‑1—leader of the Orion Contingent—first introduced himself, how their messages shifted from two‑way clairaudient dialog into light‑trance speaking and automatic writing, and why Chris organizes the transmissions in seasonal cycles tied to moons, equinoxes, and solstices. The Orion Contingent portrays itself as a philosophical collective of explorers from the Orion and Sirius regions who exist mostly in non‑physical form, sometimes using a small physical base world between the stars Sirius A and Saiph, and who are more interested in cosmic alchemy than in seeding new civilizations. They talk about Earth’s long “quarantine” from the wider galactic community, the influence of both benevolent and malevolent off‑world groups on human history and digital technology, and why we’re now at a turning point where that quarantine is slowly lifting. Chris shares their nuanced take on Greys and reptilians, their concerns and hopes about artificial intelligence, and their core message: we still have time, but no one is coming to save us, so humans must claim their **space** heritage, exercise discernment, and consciously evolve our energy bodies and societies. Along the way, Chris talks about living a double life as a medical‑school staffer and channeler, how friends and family react, why some reptilian beings are part of the Orion Contingent itself, and what it feels like to experience “five Reiki sessions at once” aboard a desert‑skimming craft. We also get into synchronicities, disclosure, government intimidation stories from earlier experiencers, and the practical side of channeled literature—including why the preface turned out to be the hardest part of writing *The N‑1 Sessions* and how the book’s appendix of ten energy‑body and manifestation exercises is meant to ground these otherworldly teachings in everyday life. https://berrymanbooks.com/
