U.G. Krishnamurti had them, saints and other “ecstatics” have had them, as well as some members of the Warao of the Orinoco Delta have been known to have them. The topic of stigmata or marks from no known physical source is one that is documented, known, and yet in truth little is known about it. One of the early phenomenon for me was a mark on my body that could not be explained by conventional means and happened around the time that awakening was taking place. My awakening happened slowly in such a way that I didn’t know it was kundalini, During that time I had a series of very unusual things taking place that I was careful not to talk about for fear that people would have thought I was crazy! Part of what happened to me is something that I was concerned may have been connected to my experience in a dream during that time.
Let me explain that the marks on my body have been documented by photographs as they have happened. Also, their emergence cannot be explained in any traditional fashion that have thus far been conjured.
The first mark I received was during my six month period of “high strangeness” that led up to the full blown awakening effects that would happen early the following year and, happened not long after I had had a very vivid dream that involved a being that was not human. This being was incredibly vivid and I was able to make drawings of it. I found a source on the web, quite by accident, that was the account of a man who had had long ongoing experiences with nonhuman beings in what he described as abduction scenarios who drew pictures of the exact type of being I had dreamed of (these were not at all like the typical grey alien being however). The man was an artist and his images were so unusual for how perfectly they depicted the being I saw in the dream. The details were very specific down to the thickness and character of their skin, which was much thicker than our own, an upper eyelid that worked differently than ours and gave them a strange staring look of surprise. Their eyes, which were not at all bug-like as described in the alien grey scenarios, were much more like our own. They were slightly bigger for their frame and the eye was almost entirely black except for a brilliant beautiful blue ring around the iris. Descriptions of the manner of these beings have all been consistent with my dream. So this was, as you might imagine, all very strange to me. I was very concerned that maybe I was being caught up in some kind of alien experience. What concerned me was how people normally had no control over their experiences. This was what caused me concern, you see. The first mark happened around this time.
In an interesting post script to this strange dream of this possible ET being, the person who was with me in the dream, and who I had never told the dream, later would describe to me a dream she had about a being that was startlingly similar to the one I had dreamed of. Later, while watching a movie that had some fairy-like beings in them, she jumped up and exclaimed how similar one being was to the one she had dreamed of. This being was so similar to the one I had dreamed of five or six years earlier that it was spooky!
The mark took the shape of a large crescent mark on my right hip. It appeared one morning without any way to properly explain how it got there. Let me explain. I am a glassblower. I make what is called offhand blown glass. My work is traditional handblown glass using pipes which are dipped in a pool of molten soft glass in order to blow bubbles in it that are formed into vases, bowls, ornaments, lamp shades, sculptures, and more. I work around high heat all the time so I know the effects of burns from hot metal objects, glass objects, as well as radiant heat burns. Name it and I have seen it. My furnaces, which run at 2,200° Farenheite, are hot on their outsides and belch a good deal of heat which can be felt twenty feet away across the same room from them when doors are opened, for example! I am used to working in this kind of environment. Burns are not uncommon and I have learned a lot about burns over the years for the simple fact that I have gotten so many of them. One thing I can tell you is that I have never gotten a burn that I did not feel soon after it was inflicted. Ever. The burn that showed up on my hip would have been of the type that would have burned a hole in my jeans and would have caused me significant pain. That is to say, I would have noticed this burn upon its being inflicted. This pain would have lasted for several days while slowly tapering off. In the meantime the burn would have blistered, weeped, and crusted over. I would have missed work because being near a heat source would have caused it to “rage” from the heat.
The mark looked just like a burn, this is true. However, there was no pain associated with the mark, not even an itch, which was unusual. Stranger still was that the mark completely disappeared once I noticed it. It faded within three days time completely without scarring of any kind. So if it wasn’t a burn, what was it? One thing I can tell you is that I woke up one morning and noticed the burn. this led me, at least for the time being, to worries that it had a non-terrestrial origin. This was based on my noticing how some people who have had abduction experiences with ET’s have had burn marks on their skin. In fact, I found out about the ET connection by doing a search for burns of this type. There are a lot of people who also have ET experiences who also have strange burns that behave in exactly the same way as my burn behaved. Add a strange ET dream to the mix and you have a concoction that for the time, caused me a great deal of concern. I don’t think I am ready to be branded by the aliens just yet….and yet, at the time, it was a very real concern simply because of just how STRANGE is all was! ALL of it! Good golly, get a burn with no explanation, toss in a weird alien dream and I’m running around like my hair is on fire. I joke, but you get the idea.
I have considered an infection of some kind, but an infection would have caused topical swelling that this burn mark did not have. Ringworm, which is a fungal infection, was next in line. That too was marked off the list simply because I was unable to find any examples of ringworm that formed a crescent the size of my mark. I posted this story on another blog and got a response from someone who had had a similar mark on her right shoulder and this had taken place in conjunction to spiritual energy being present. This person had found my account because she had been searching for what this all could mean and came across my account.
Within a matter of days of having released a significant and longstanding block in my heart chakra which had been causing me a significant amount of pain for close to a year, there appeared a smaller mark directly over my heart chakra, which was one inch above the bottom of my sternum in my chest. This mark has persisted ever since then, which has been over two years. It is circular yes, but it also shows up as a kind of crescent mark where the waxing part of the crescent is pointing directly upward towards my head. Since that time, I have released more blocks and in the wake of the last big release of a block, which was not in my heart center but the sacral chakra, the mark has grown to include a second circle which now gives the heart mark the appearance of an infinity mark standing up on its side like the number 8. They appear as two crescents with the fuller end of the crescent being upward and downward, alternatively. These two crescents are about the size of an American dime or British half-pence. This mark is nowhere near as big as the first that showed up on my hip and it also does not go away. It waxes and wanes somewhat, but I am reminded that it is there when I look in the mirror. It feels more like it is an expression of some form of energy in my body that is affecting my skin somehow. It feels like something is trying to seep out of me, perhaps an energy of some kind.
This heart mark, which DOES have a size consistent with ringworm has not responded to any medication that ringworm responds to. It seems, at least for now, to be a regular feature. I continue to photograph the marks from time to time and I pay attention to when it gets brighter or weaker looking in order to learn as much as I can about this unusual phenomenon.
Ordinarily these kinds of marks usually are an expression of some spiritual fact or issue. In the Christian tradition marks on the body run the gamut from burns and whip marks to actual holes in the body that bleed as is the case with the passion of Christ. This, though, is but one manifestation of such an effect. To understand it, consider that when people are under hypnosis burns can be induced from the mere suggestion that the hypnotist is holding a hot branding iron to the person’s skin. This has caused swelling, reddening from a histamine release to the area, along with a blister forming in many cases. Its not that far from the possibility that any number of skin effects could happen at a time when the body and self are undergoing a powerful transition or transformation spiritually or energetically. For me, I did not get crosses or holes in my palms because that tradition wasn’t the content of my experience. My wagon was not hitched to that particular experience. The moon, though, has continued to play an oddly synchronistic role throughout my awakening. I have met someone who is connected to the moon as a spiritual element in her inner work. I have suspicions that there was some past life involvement with something that was called “The Daughters of Isis.” I don’t think we have anything on this group beyond old stories or perhaps rumors. I am not so sure we even have much about these ancient practices. What it may all mean, I really am unsure. WHat I am sure of, though, is that if it is important for me to know, it will be made known.
I am not posting the marks here simply because I feel that for those who will not believe, it wont matter if I show photos or not. Skepticism is more a belief than a desire to know the truth, I have found. An honest answer will most often lead to still more skeptical questions not in an effort to get to the truth but to express a skepticism simply because a phenomenon is outside of someone’s own realm of experience. We tend to doubt what we have never experienced, and while this is a good way to go about things, it is also a bad way of being able to accept things as they are. This leads to arguing with evidence sometimes. I have posted these marks in other places so that if you really want to see them, you can.
I am posting this because there may be others who have had these unusual unexplained effects and cannot understand why they are happening. It may be that my case is so rare that there are few cases happening. For as strange is it may sound, I have come to the conclusion that the burns in the “abduction” cases may well be nonphysical manifestation of something deeper going on for these abductees. This is a long story and it has to do with what I think is a misconstrual of what we as humans take the ET presence on earth to be, which is not all as it appears. I am not talking about a conspiracy by shadowy men in black, but rather something more fundamental to human spirituality and our lack of awareness of beings all around us in the etheric which are seeking to appear in a given guise. Interestingly, there is an insightful and freethinking scholar who very much stands outside the realm of traditional Christian spirituality who has built a convincing theory about what the ET presence actually is all about, at least in part. It also helps to underscore how lacking in awareness we are as beings and that the flames of awakening can help to break away the barriers, at least in part, of how we perceive things.
So no, I do not think this is about aliens. However, people who are on the verge of awakening HAVE had such experiences which they take to be real events which have happened in a vivid and seemingly real holographic reality much like an out of body state. Like a dream that seems so real you think its actually happening, these people have had these experiences. Some have led to burn marks, for example, not so much because they have been physically abducted but because this is a nonphysical reality now being expressed through the agency of body Gnosis, or stigmata. The mind says it is real and thus creates an effect that would seem to express this reality, except that the root of the effect is misconstrued or misunderstood for what it is. The burn is itself just an effect, and it is happening nonphysically and since we know so little about this effect, it is taken as being caused in physical reality when its not. THAT is one concept that I know is a bit hard to swallow, but is to my mind quite possible given what John Lash, the scholar I have mentioned earlier, has uncovered about the alleged ET source (which, if you have been following my drift you will suspect doesn’t have anything to do with ET’s at all).
Makes me wonder if the popular projection of the grey aliens conceals what that contact really is. Humans have a way of only registering a tiny part of the spectrum, limiting this again by fear of the unknown or unseen. Very interesting post. I don’t know anyone who these marks or visitations or imprints happened to, but I sometimes detected something like it in my dreams and my imagination accepts it fully. Crop circles are the same phenomenon. It is a messaging service.
I dont think that we have our hands around a big part of the abductee scenario. I insist as does Lash that its nonphysical beings. The Gnostics two thousand years ago have descriptions of the Archons and they describe PERFECTLY the architecture of the abduction experience perfectly. Perfectly. So my suspicion right now is that there is an aspect of the physical UFO phenomenon that is real and there is also an aspect of the experience that is nonphysical by beings that aren’t advanced AT ALL but are able, through what the Gnostics called HAL, which was described as a synthetic form of reality, to dupe people into thinking that they were like gods.
John Lash caught on to a most curious entry point of these beings into our mass awareness when, in 1945, the Nag Hammadi was discovered (biggest repository of knowledge about the Archons to date—has Jesus explaining to his disciples how to deal with these beings). This also corresponded with the beginning of the contemporary UFO wave all across the world. Personally I think the Nag Hammadi discovery was meant to help us at a critical time to understand what these beings are (in addition to some other just as important things) and this was also the Archons opportunity to insert themselves into the Alien phenomenon, which was just what the Archons had always been in their essence; like gods. Except the Archons weren’t. They were posers. They were energetic parasites. I have removed these beings from my own energy field and I have removed them from others. I know people who have them and go about their merry way. But they are not advanced forms of awareness. And this was one reason why I was a little freaked when I had the dream I had of this being….which was NOT an alien grey at all…..but perhaps it didn’t matter at that point. I wont go into any more detail, but this is an aspect of the alien issue that I don’t think we are as up on as we ought to be. My feeling that right now, as long as the Archons seek to be like aliens, we will experience them as such. But they aren’t.
I have same marks
I would so love to hear your take on them or your experience with them…were you to want to.
I had marks also. Mine happened on 10-30-2018. I have researched this for the past two years and can’t find anything. My marks were like I had been branded. I had what looked like a lower case i on my right leg below my knee. But it was upside down, so it could also be an exclamation mark. Last week a red mark appeared on my left leg that looked like a crown! I don’t understand what is going on. The marks that appeared on Hallow’s Eve happened after two seizures but they were’nt medical cause after the first seizure I heard 3 knocks on the wall behind me; I know the knocks are demonic! After the knocks I felt a presence around me and a foreign language being spoke. After the second seizure I received burn marks on my lip and both elbows and then I was getting images that I couldn’t make out because it was like a movie being played on fast forward in my head. Also I was given instructions to find a copper penny and draw a cross on the wall, which I did. Later found out that it wasn’t a cross at all it was a compass rose for a particular location at 167 degrees southeast. What does it mean?!
So far I have seen marks of certain shapes, circles and crescents mostly in relation to awakening with high prana flow (energy). I have had a man from Japan share his photos that he took which were very similar to my own. He was experiencing awakening also.
Then there are marks that may have an energetic foundation but may not be part of a full awakening. Some call these disturbances in energy but with no permanent outcome like awakening. Some look like they could be the result of intense experiences. Marks have been known to emerge from powerful emotion or spiritual experiences. The body appears to have a way to express this inner information psychosomatically (and stigmata is one such part of thus spectrum). Strange, I know, but in no case has anyone ever been able to recall an actual physical event.
One possibility is that your seizures may have temporarily released electrical energy in such a way that it caused a mild burn-like condition. I know how strange that sounds, but already there are several people with very similar burn marks from an energetic event.
It’s hard to know whether a phenomenon is good or bad. Fear often directs our feelings. Things I thought were bad turned out to be understood later in a different light. Sometimes, you just don’t know until you get into it deeper. Thanks for sharing your experience!
I would like to talk to whoever wrote this post . I woke up with a burn mark .
With no recollection on how it got there. As I was wondering how this could of happened it looked like a heart. Which how this could be baffled me. I took pics and my kids were like mom that looks like a heart. It’s still there and it happened 3 weeks ago. I recently had a boyfriend pass way from getting murdered and I feel like it’s him. I’ve been seeing hearts every which is unexplainable. How the one got burned in my hand is crazy. Could his engergy be so strong that he did that ? Or is it a awakening of something else?? I’d love to hear your thoughts.
Hi Lisa. Thank you for reaching out and telling us about your story. I was the one who wrote that post. I’m happy to comment based on my experience, but at the end of the day the answer lies with you. What I mean is that if anyone has marks like this, it is almost always going to happen with your own inner consent, which is to say that I think it’s highly unlikely that your boyfriend did it. That said, this doesn’t mean he didn’t impress you with something that led to the mark. Often in these cases either subconscious material is bubbling up, or there is a very strong emotion is felt or it’s energy expressing sometimes in a symbolic way. This issue of energy leads into the possibility of awakening, but you would then have some of the symptoms of awakening….and that could take time to determine. While Awakenings are described as sudden events, I know that it wasn’t sudden for me but was a more gradual process that began and took almost half a year to unfold in order for the “rising” event we all talk about and know so well. If you are waking up, time will tell. And if you do, then we will all hear more about your story (right?? 🙂 )
I have another blog where I originated this post on and copied it to here and on the other blog there are others who have described their experiences…so while rare, it happens, and I suspect that some of us are just wired in such a way that it’s more likely that we will get these marks (one was symbolic for me—a moon crescent and for you a heart). I have also had someone message me privately to show me photos of marks, so it’s definitely a thing.
As I think about this, I think that it’s also possible that if this is connected to your deceased boyfriend (my condolences for you loss), then it could be that this might have been the only way right now for you to “get the message” so to speak. I don’t know, but one thing to ask yourself is do you feel like you have had to push a lot of your feelings down about him in order to soldier on. If that is likely so, it is just as likely that you could be blocking it in the dream state. It might be showing up because maybe he does want you to acknowledge his love for you and that he is not completely gone. If you ARE blocking something, try telling yourself that you are okay with having dreams about him, something only you can know you are okay with. Then see what happens.
Did you say it was on your hand? My first mark went away as soon as I saw it. Others emerged during powerful clearing in my heart. Those remain and sometimes grow larger as I proceed through the process of inner healing that is the hallmark of this experience.
If you want to message me privately I am happy to field questions and offer my opinions based on my experience. This still is a fairly rare thing…but it is most certainly happening!
Oh, and while I didn’t include pictures of the marks, I wrote a post much later that does show the marks. Like you, I photographed them! I think that post is named the exact same name but with “Part II” added to the end. You can use the search function on my site to find that post faster. I have all the photos there (I was pretty shy about posting them for a while).
