Angels, aliens guide conference speakers

sanchezantonio24@gmail.com

Angels first spoke to Nancy Wallace after a freak accident that almost paralyzed her when she was 6 years old.

Since then, Wallace said her angels have guided her throughout life and influenced her to create Wake Up Now!

Wake Up Now! Conference II: Who R U? is a three-day convention at the Albuquerque Marriott featuring discussions and lectures by 12 theorists. This year’s conference will feature presenters speaking about everything from UFOs and crop circles to futurism and sacred geometry.

Wallace said her experiences with angels have helped her keep an open mind to nontraditional and conspiracy theories. Wallace said that while she doesn’t believe in every theory, she’s interested in the idea that people are constantly searching for new truths.

“Some of them are probably true; some of them are probably not true; but it’s interesting to see people’s points of view, and that’s all this really is: to see different points of view,” she said. “So if I could bring in some speakers to really help people think about something, then that to me is a benefit.”

Wallace said she started Wake Up Now! as a charity event, raising money for her upcoming School of Now project. The School of Now will be a live-in school for elementary- to high school-aged children with ADD and ADHD. Wallace said her project is a personal one that began when her granddaughter was diagnosed with ADHD.

Wallace said the journey to begin the school was one pushed by her angels.

“I was told, ‘you need to start this school,’ and I said, ‘no, I’m not,’ and they said, ‘yes, you are,’ and guess what, now I’m in New Mexico doing it,” she said.

Wallace said that of all the conspiracies that will be presented at this year’s convention, the existence of UFOs is the most plausible.

“They’ve been here forever,” she said. “Everybody thinks that this is a new thing — it isn’t a new thing, by any means.”

Futurist and intergalactic spokesperson Mark Culkin, who also goes by Helios, said UFOs have been communicating with him since he was a child. Culkin said that an encounter he had in 1979 gave him the drive to speak out about the existence of aliens.

“This one was commissioning me to bring people to the understanding that we need to remove this veil between the worlds,” Culkin said.

Culkin will speak at this year’s conference about primary and privatized water rights, as well as secret inventions of the past. Culkin said he plans to rediscover technology many believe to have been myths, such as ancient Egyptian electricity, and bring it into a modern use.

“Rather than getting into all the details of all these metaphysical interpretations of these different cultures, we’re trying to focus on pragmatic tools that people can use to rediscover this knowledge — tap into what was lost and bring it into a contemporary focus,” he said.

Sacred geometry artist Katrina Parry has worked alongside Culkin in their quest to discover ancient Egyptian electricity. They have been collaborating on a blueprint of an ancient Egyptian motor to create electricity, outlined in hieroglyphics. Parry said she hopes her personal efforts will be recognized at this year’s conference.

“I am determined to communicate the profound knowledge of this alternative energy in the Egyptian hieroglyphics through my artwork because if they can see it, they can see the relationship so much easier,” Parry said. “I have so many profound feelings with the more involved that I get into it.”
