The Alpha Centaurians are one of the more frequently mentioned but least concretely documented extraterrestrial races in modern UFO, contactee, and starseed literature. They are associated with the Alpha Centauri star system, the closest star system to our Sun at approximately 4.37 light-years away. Alpha Centauri is a triple-star system consisting of Alpha Centauri A (a Sun-like star), Alpha Centauri B (a slightly smaller, cooler star), and the red dwarf Proxima Centauri.

Unlike races with a single dominant anchor event (such as the Betty and Barney Hill abduction for Zeta Reticuli or the Ummo letters), information about the Alpha Centaurians is scattered across channeled material, contactee accounts, starseed self-identification communities, and broader galactic federation lore. They are generally portrayed as a benevolent, humanoid race with a focus on exploration, spiritual guidance, and peaceful interaction.

Physical Description
Descriptions of Alpha Centaurians are relatively consistent across sources, though details vary slightly depending on the channeler or experiencer. They are typically depicted as:
-Height: Tall, often 6 to 8 feet or more, with a graceful, athletic, or slender build.
-Skin: Fair to light tan, sometimes with a subtle golden or luminous quality. Some accounts describe a slightly bluish or iridescent undertone.
-Hair: Long, straight or wavy, usually blond, light brown, or golden. Hair is often described as silky or glowing.
-Eyes: Large and expressive, frequently blue, green, violet, or hazel. The eyes are said to convey warmth, wisdom, and high intelligence.
-Facial features: Refined, symmetrical, with high cheekbones and delicate features. They are often described as strikingly beautiful or “Nordic-like” but with distinct differences from the Pleiadians.
-Body: Well-proportioned, long-limbed, and elegant in movement. Clothing is usually simple, flowing robes or seamless one-piece suits in light colors (white, silver, pale blue, or gold).

They are frequently contrasted with the shorter Greys (Zeta Reticulans) and the more “perfect” or ethereal Pleiadians. Alpha Centaurians are said to appear very human-like, making them capable of blending in with minimal disguise if they chose to walk among us.

Origins and Home System
Alpha Centauri is emphasized as their primary home system. Some sources describe thriving civilizations on planets orbiting Alpha Centauri A and B, with Proxima Centauri sometimes mentioned as a secondary outpost. Because the system is the closest to Earth, Alpha Centaurians are occasionally portrayed as one of the races that have been observing humanity for the longest period of time.

In galactic lore, they are often linked to the broader Lyran diaspora or as an independent branch of early humanoid civilizations. Some accounts place them within a loose alliance of benevolent races that includes Pleiadians, Sirians, and Vegans. They are not usually described as genetic engineers (like the Anunnaki) or ancient teachers in the same way as the Sirians, but rather as explorers, diplomats, and spiritual guides who value peaceful coexistence and mutual evolution.

Society, Technology, and Agenda
Descriptions of Alpha Centaurian society tend to be positive and aspirational:
-Society: Highly advanced, harmonious, and spiritually evolved. Emphasis is placed on cooperation, creativity, scientific curiosity, and respect for free will. They are said to have moved beyond war, scarcity, and hierarchical power structures.
-Technology: Sophisticated but ethically applied. Advanced propulsion systems (sometimes described as antigravity or light-based), healing technologies, and consciousness-enhancing tools. Their spacecraft are often portrayed as elegant, disc-shaped or spherical, with a luminous quality.
-Agenda on Earth: Primarily observational, educational, and subtly assistive. Many accounts claim they engage in limited contact through dreams, meditation, telepathy, or occasional physical meetings with prepared individuals. They are said to encourage humanity’s spiritual growth, environmental responsibility, and peaceful development. Some starseed narratives suggest Alpha Centaurians incarnate on Earth to help raise collective consciousness or model harmonious living.

They are sometimes contrasted with more interventionist races. While not portrayed as completely non-interfering (like the Ummites’ letter-only approach), their involvement is generally described as gentle and respectful of free will.

Key Sources and References in UFO Lore
The Alpha Centaurians appear in a variety of New Age and UFO-related materials, but there is no single dominant, well-verified case comparable to Billy Meier’s Pleiadian contacts or the Betty and Barney Hill abduction.
-Channeled material from the 1980s–2000s often mentions them as part of a “Galactic Federation” or alliance of benevolent races.
-Starseed communities (Reddit r/starseeds, Facebook groups, YouTube channels) frequently include people who identify as Alpha Centaurian starseeds, citing traits such as a strong interest in space, diplomacy, healing, creativity, and a feeling of being “from far away but close to home.”
-Some contactee accounts from the late 20th century describe tall, human-like beings claiming origins in Alpha Centauri who offered messages of peace and spiritual awakening.
-They occasionally appear in lists of “benevolent extraterrestrial races” alongside Pleiadians, Sirians, and Arcturians.

Physical evidence is entirely absent. There are no widely accepted crashed craft, implants, mass sightings, or authenticated government documents specifically tied to Alpha Centaurians. Their presence remains in the realm of channeled messages, intuitive experiences, and self-reported starseed memories.

Credibility and Limitations
The Alpha Centaurians suffer from the same credibility challenges as many other channeled or starseed-based races. There is no physical corroboration. Skeptics view them as archetypal projections — tall, beautiful, wise humanoids who embody humanity’s ideals of peaceful, advanced extraterrestrial neighbors. The proximity of the Alpha Centauri system makes them a convenient choice for “close but not too close” contact stories.

Supporters point to the relative consistency of descriptions across independent sources and the positive, non-fear-based nature of the encounters. Many who resonate with Alpha Centaurian lore report feelings of familiarity, homesickness, or a strong draw to the stars, which they interpret as evidence of genuine connection.

Current Status
The Alpha Centaurians remain a popular but secondary race in the expanding catalog of reported extraterrestrial species. They appear regularly in YouTube videos listing benevolent alien races, starseed identification discussions, and New Age compilations. Interest tends to come from individuals seeking positive, human-like extraterrestrial contact stories or those who feel a personal resonance with themes of exploration, diplomacy, healing, and spiritual harmony.

In summary, the Alpha Centaurians are described as tall, graceful, human-like beings from the closest star system to Earth. They are portrayed as benevolent explorers and spiritual guides who emphasize peaceful interaction, conscious evolution, and respect for free will. Information about them is limited to channeled material, contactee accounts, and starseed communities, with no independent physical evidence.

They represent a hopeful archetype in UFO lore — advanced neighbors who are close enough to be reachable yet distant enough to maintain a sense of wonder. Whether viewed as genuine extraterrestrial intelligences, symbolic figures, or a blend of both, the Alpha Centaurians add a positive and approachable layer to the often complex and contradictory tapestry of reported alien species interacting with humanity.

Elizabeth Klarer’s Extended Contact with Akon
The most detailed and longest-running personal contact story associated with the Alpha Centaurians centers on Elizabeth Klarer (1910–1994), a South African woman with a background in aviation and meteorology. Her experiences stand out in Alpha Centaurian lore because they span decades, include specific names and locations, and offer an unusually intimate narrative of cultural exchange, romance, and even family. While many extraterrestrial contact claims involve brief sightings or single abductions, Klarer described a sustained relationship that allegedly began in the 1940s–1950s and continued through the 1980s.

Klarer claimed her first conscious contacts occurred in the mid-1950s, building on earlier unexplained sightings in the 1940s. The central figure in her accounts was a tall, fair-skinned humanoid named Akon, whom she identified as originating from the planet Meton in the Alpha Centauri system. She described Akon as highly intelligent, gentle, spiritually advanced, and deeply compassionate — qualities that set him apart from the more clinical or detached extraterrestrials reported in other cases. According to Klarer, Akon served as both a guide and a companion, teaching her about his people’s history, science, and philosophy while fostering a profound personal bond.

One of the most notable encounters took place in the Drakensberg Mountains of South Africa. Klarer reported that a lens-shaped craft landed, and she was invited aboard. Over time, she claimed to have made multiple visits to Meton, spending extended periods — in some accounts several months cumulatively — living among the Alpha Centaurians. During these visits, she allegedly gave birth to a son named Aven, the child of her union with Akon. This element of childbirth and family adds a uniquely personal and emotional dimension rarely found in other contactee narratives, which tend to focus on warnings, technology, or spiritual messages.

Klarer provided rich descriptions of Alpha Centaurian society on Meton. She portrayed it as harmonious, ecologically balanced, and technologically sophisticated without being domineering. Key features included light-energy propulsion systems for their spacecraft, technologies integrated with consciousness, and a governance structure rooted in spiritual insight rather than political power. She spoke of advanced education systems, artistic and scientific pursuits pursued in perfect balance, and a deep respect for all life forms. The Alpha Centaurians, in her telling, had long ago transcended war, scarcity, and environmental destruction, living in elegant crystalline or natural-harmonic cities that blended technology with nature.

She claimed to have learned extensively about their history, cosmology, and philosophy. The Alpha Centaurians reportedly viewed humanity as a younger sibling civilization with great potential but currently hindered by materialism, conflict, and disconnection from higher consciousness. Klarer’s messages often carried themes of peace, environmental stewardship, and spiritual awakening — encouraging humanity to evolve beyond division and embrace unity with the cosmos.

Klarer produced a body of evidence to support her claims. She took and shared photographs of the lens-shaped craft she said Akon piloted. She created detailed drawings of the interiors, landscapes of Meton, and technological devices. Her writings culminated in the book Beyond the Light Barrier (published in 1980), which remains the primary source for her story. In it, she recounts her experiences with sincerity and consistency over many years. Some accounts mention that she underwent polygraph testing and passed, adding a layer of claimed credibility. She maintained her story publicly through interviews and lectures until her death in 1994, never significantly altering key details despite skepticism.

In South African UFO literature and certain starseed compilations, Klarer’s case is treated as the cornerstone Alpha Centaurian contact event. It provides rare narrative depth: a sustained romantic and familial relationship, extended cultural immersion, and a child born of human-extraterrestrial union. This contrasts sharply with the shorter, more procedural encounters often linked to Zeta Reticulan Greys. For researchers exploring positive or human-like extraterrestrial interactions, Klarer’s story offers a hopeful counterpoint to fear-based abduction narratives.

However, the case has faced significant skepticism. Critics point to the complete lack of independent verification — no other witnesses to the landings or visits, no physical artifacts beyond Klarer’s photographs and drawings (which have been questioned for authenticity), and no corroborating scientific data. Some suggest psychological or cultural influences, noting that Klarer was a creative individual with a strong interest in aviation and the stars. Skeptics also highlight the romantic and idealized elements as potentially reflecting personal desires rather than literal events. Mainstream UFO researchers generally classify the case as unproven contactee testimony rather than established fact.

Despite the controversies, Elizabeth Klarer’s extended contact with Akon remains the single most fleshed-out and personally detailed story tied to the Alpha Centaurians. It gives the race a tangible human face — tall, gentle, spiritually advanced beings capable of deep connection — and provides a narrative bridge between the distant stars of Alpha Centauri and everyday human experience. 

Starseed Incarnation Memories and Dream/Vision Contacts
In contrast to the singular, high-profile contact narrative of Elizabeth Klarer, the majority of contemporary experiences with Alpha Centaurians manifest as a diffuse but persistent pattern of personal, intuitive, and subjective encounters. Since the 1980s and accelerating through the 2000s to the present, thousands of individuals within starseed communities have reported “memories,” meditative visions, dream contacts, and spontaneous “downloads” that they attribute to beings from the Alpha Centauri system. These experiences lack the dramatic physical landings or extended visits described by Klarer and instead form a decentralized, ongoing thread of subtle connection that has become the dominant modern expression of Alpha Centaurian interaction.

Common recurring themes emerge across these self-reported accounts. Many describe being shown vivid images of crystalline cities on planets orbiting Alpha Centauri A or B — elegant structures that blend advanced technology with natural harmony, where buildings appear grown or tuned to vibrational frequencies rather than constructed through heavy industry. Witnesses often speak of luminous architecture that responds to thought or emotion, vast libraries of living light containing collective knowledge, and landscapes featuring harmonious integration of technology and nature. These visions frequently include advanced harmonic technologies — devices that work with sound, light, and consciousness to heal, balance energies, or facilitate instantaneous communication and travel. Some report observing diplomatic councils where tall, graceful Alpha Centaurians engage in consensus-based decision-making focused on exploration, cultural exchange, and the ethical evolution of younger civilizations.

Another prominent element is the reception of “downloads” — sudden infusions of conceptual understanding rather than verbal messages. These often concern diplomacy, healing modalities, and systems-thinking intended to assist Earth’s transition. Individuals describe receiving insights into conflict resolution through empathy, environmental restoration through frequency work, or holistic approaches to governance that prioritize collective well-being over competition. Many report a strong sense of “homesickness” or deep familiarity with the Alpha Centauri system, attributed to its relative proximity (only 4.37 light-years away) and a recognizable energetic “vibration” that feels like home. This emotional resonance is frequently cited as evidence of past-life or soul connections, with people feeling they have incarnated on Earth as Alpha Centaurian starseeds to help anchor higher frequencies or model harmonious living during a time of planetary change.

These experiences are not tied to single, verifiable dates or mass events. Instead, they form a continuous pattern reported across platforms such as Reddit’s r/starseeds subreddit, various Facebook starseed groups, YouTube channeling sessions, personal blogs, and sites dedicated to awakening and extraterrestrial contact (including awakenche.org and similar resources). The reports gained noticeable momentum in the 1980s–1990s alongside the broader New Age movement and have continued steadily into the 2020s, often intensifying during periods of global upheaval when people seek messages of hope and guidance.

The decentralized nature of these contacts is one of their defining characteristics. Unlike dramatic physical abductions or public landings, Alpha Centaurian interactions in the modern era tend to occur in altered states of consciousness — deep meditation, lucid dreams, hypnagogic visions, or sudden intuitive flashes. Many individuals describe the beings as appearing tall, graceful, and human-like, with fair to golden-tan skin, long light hair, and large expressive eyes that convey warmth and wisdom. Communication is almost always telepathic or energetic, emphasizing encouragement, reminder of one’s soul mission, and gentle activation of inner abilities rather than commands or warnings.

This pattern stands in instructive contrast to the more invasive or clinical encounters often associated with Zeta Reticulan Greys. Where Zeta experiences frequently involve medical procedures, time loss, or fear, Alpha Centaurian contacts are typically reported as uplifting, nostalgic, or empowering. The absence of fear and the presence of personal resonance lead many experiencers to interpret these contacts as voluntary soul agreements or assistance from a benevolent neighboring civilization that respects free will and evolutionary timing.

From a research perspective, these starseed reports illustrate how Alpha Centaurians are experienced today — not through dramatic public events but through intimate, subjective channels that bypass traditional evidentiary standards. The consistency of certain motifs (crystalline cities, harmonic tech, diplomatic wisdom, homesickness for a nearby star) across thousands of independent accounts suggests a shared archetypal or energetic template, even if skeptics attribute it to cultural suggestion, active imagination, or psychological projection during times of collective uncertainty.

Telepathic or Meditative Guidance Sessions (1980s–Present)
While Elizabeth Klarer’s extended physical contact with Akon provides the most detailed single narrative in Alpha Centaurian lore, the majority of modern interactions with these beings manifest as subtle, non-physical experiences. Since the 1980s and continuing into the present, a steady stream of individuals have reported telepathic communications, deep meditative visions, and spontaneous “guidance sessions” that they attribute to Alpha Centaurians. These encounters differ markedly from dramatic abduction narratives or physical landings, occurring instead in altered states of consciousness and emphasizing gentle, consent-based assistance.

These sessions are typically described as individual or small-group experiences during meditation, quiet reflection, or hypnagogic states. Channelers and intuitive practitioners report receiving clear, coherent messages delivered through telepathic impressions, inner knowing, or vivid symbolic imagery rather than spoken words. The communications are consistently characterized as warm, respectful, and non-coercive — aligning with the broader portrayal of Alpha Centaurians as beings who value free will and evolutionary timing.

Common themes recur across these accounts. Many report messages focused on peaceful exploration and diplomacy, encouraging humanity to approach both internal and external relationships with greater empathy, patience, and mutual understanding. Alpha Centaurians are said to highlight the importance of diplomatic skills in resolving conflicts, whether personal, societal, or planetary. Some experiencers describe being shown visionary scenes of harmonious interstellar councils where diverse races collaborate without hierarchy or domination, serving as models for Earth’s future diplomatic evolution.

Another prominent theme is environmental stewardship and harmonic living. Messages often stress the interconnectedness of all life and the need to restore balance with the planet’s ecosystems. Channelers report guidance on sustainable technologies, frequency-based healing for the Earth, and living in greater harmony with natural cycles. The Alpha Centaurians are portrayed as experts in harmonic systems — technologies and lifestyles that work with rather than against natural laws. Receivers frequently describe a deep emotional resonance with these teachings, feeling a sense of nostalgia or recognition as if remembering knowledge once known on their home world.

A third recurring element involves preparing for open contact through raising personal vibration. Many sessions emphasize inner work — clearing limiting beliefs, healing emotional wounds, and elevating consciousness — as the key prerequisite for healthy interstellar relations. The beings reportedly stress that premature mass contact could overwhelm humanity or reinforce dependency, so they encourage gradual, individual readiness. This includes developing discernment, emotional maturity, and a strong sense of personal sovereignty. Some channelers claim ongoing “ambassadorial” communication, describing regular meditative check-ins where Alpha Centaurians offer encouragement, answer questions, or provide energetic attunements tailored to the individual’s growth.

These experiences are documented across a wide range of New Age channeling books from the 1980s onward, online starseed communities (including Reddit r/starseeds and dedicated Facebook groups), YouTube channels focused on benevolent extraterrestrial contact, and compilations that list Alpha Centaurians among peaceful races. The pattern has remained remarkably consistent for decades: the communications feel supportive rather than directive, focusing on empowerment and self-responsibility instead of promises of salvation or technological gifts.

This subtle, consent-based approach stands in instructive contrast to the more forceful or clinical encounters often associated with other Grey variants. Where some Grey narratives involve time loss, medical procedures, or fear, Alpha Centaurian guidance sessions are typically reported as uplifting, clarifying, and emotionally nourishing. The absence of coercion and the emphasis on personal growth reinforce the portrayal of Alpha Centaurians as mature, ethical neighbors who respect humanity’s free will and evolutionary pace.

From a research perspective, these telepathic and meditative sessions illustrate how Alpha Centaurians are experienced in the modern era — not through dramatic public events but through intimate, internal channels accessible to anyone engaged in spiritual practice. The consistency of themes across thousands of independent reports suggests a shared energetic or archetypal template, even if skeptics attribute it to cultural suggestion, active imagination, or the human psyche’s tendency to personify guidance during times of transition.

Starseed Incarnation Memories and Dream/Vision Contacts
In contrast to the singular, high-profile contact narrative of Elizabeth Klarer, the majority of contemporary experiences with Alpha Centaurians manifest as a diffuse but persistent pattern of personal, intuitive, and subjective encounters. Since the 1980s and accelerating through the 2000s to the present, thousands of individuals within starseed communities have reported “memories,” meditative visions, dream contacts, and spontaneous “downloads” that they attribute to beings from the Alpha Centauri system.

Another prominent element is the reception of “downloads” — sudden infusions of conceptual understanding rather than verbal messages. These often concern diplomacy, healing modalities, and systems-thinking intended to assist Earth’s transition. Individuals describe receiving insights into conflict resolution through empathy, environmental restoration through frequency work, or holistic approaches to governance that prioritize collective well-being over competition. Many report a strong sense of “homesickness” or deep familiarity with the Alpha Centauri system, attributed to its relative proximity (only 4.37 light-years away) and a recognizable energetic “vibration” that feels like home. This emotional resonance is frequently cited as evidence of past-life or soul connections, with people feeling they have incarnated on Earth as Alpha Centaurian starseeds to help anchor higher frequencies or model harmonious living during a time of planetary change.

These experiences are not tied to single, verifiable dates or mass events.

The decentralized nature of these contacts is one of their defining characteristics. Unlike dramatic physical abductions or public landings, Alpha Centaurian interactions in the modern era tend to occur in altered states of consciousness — deep meditation, lucid dreams, hypnagogic visions, or sudden intuitive flashes. Many individuals describe the beings as appearing tall, graceful, and human-like, with fair to golden-tan skin, long light hair, and large expressive eyes that convey warmth and wisdom. Communication is almost always telepathic or energetic, emphasizing encouragement, reminder of one’s soul mission, and gentle activation of inner abilities rather than commands or warnings.

This pattern stands in instructive contrast to the more invasive or clinical encounters often associated with Zeta Reticulan Greys. Where Zeta experiences frequently involve medical procedures, time loss, or fear, Alpha Centaurian contacts are typically reported as uplifting, nostalgic, or empowering. The absence of fear and the presence of personal resonance lead many experiencers to interpret these contacts as voluntary soul agreements or assistance from a benevolent neighboring civilization that respects free will and evolutionary timing.

From a research perspective, these starseed reports illustrate how Alpha Centaurians are experienced today — not through dramatic public events but through intimate, subjective channels that bypass traditional evidentiary standards. The consistency of certain motifs (crystalline cities, harmonic tech, diplomatic wisdom, homesickness for a nearby star) across thousands of independent accounts suggests a shared archetypal or energetic template, even if skeptics attribute it to cultural suggestion, active imagination, or psychological projection during times of collective uncertainty.

Telepathic or Meditative Guidance Sessions (1980s–Present)
While Elizabeth Klarer’s extended physical contact with Akon provides the most detailed single narrative in Alpha Centaurian lore, the majority of modern interactions with these beings manifest as subtle, non-physical experiences. Since the 1980s and continuing into the present, a steady stream of individuals have reported telepathic communications, deep meditative visions, and spontaneous “guidance sessions” that they attribute to Alpha Centaurians. These encounters differ markedly from dramatic abduction narratives or physical landings, occurring instead in altered states of consciousness and emphasizing gentle, consent-based assistance.

These sessions are typically described as individual or small-group experiences during meditation, quiet reflection, or hypnagogic states. Channelers and intuitive practitioners report receiving clear, coherent messages delivered through telepathic impressions, inner knowing, or vivid symbolic imagery rather than spoken words. The communications are consistently characterized as warm, respectful, and non-coercive — aligning with the broader portrayal of Alpha Centaurians as beings who value free will and evolutionary timing.

Common themes recur across these accounts. Many report messages focused on peaceful exploration and diplomacy, encouraging humanity to approach both internal and external relationships with greater empathy, patience, and mutual understanding. Alpha Centaurians are said to highlight the importance of diplomatic skills in resolving conflicts, whether personal, societal, or planetary. Some experiencers describe being shown visionary scenes of harmonious interstellar councils where diverse races collaborate without hierarchy or domination, serving as models for Earth’s future diplomatic evolution.

Another prominent theme is environmental stewardship and harmonic living. Messages often stress the interconnectedness of all life and the need to restore balance with the planet’s ecosystems. Channelers report guidance on sustainable technologies, frequency-based healing for the Earth, and living in greater harmony with natural cycles. The Alpha Centaurians are portrayed as experts in harmonic systems — technologies and lifestyles that work with rather than against natural laws. Receivers frequently describe a deep emotional resonance with these teachings, feeling a sense of nostalgia or recognition as if remembering knowledge once known on their home world.

A third recurring element involves preparing for open contact through raising personal vibration. Many sessions emphasize inner work — clearing limiting beliefs, healing emotional wounds, and elevating consciousness — as the key prerequisite for healthy interstellar relations. The beings reportedly stress that premature mass contact could overwhelm humanity or reinforce dependency, so they encourage gradual, individual readiness. This includes developing discernment, emotional maturity, and a strong sense of personal sovereignty. Some channelers claim ongoing “ambassadorial” communication, describing regular meditative check-ins where Alpha Centaurians offer encouragement, answer questions, or provide energetic attunements tailored to the individual’s growth.

These experiences are documented across a wide range of New Age channeling books from the 1980s onward, online starseed communities (including Reddit r/starseeds and dedicated Facebook groups), YouTube channels focused on benevolent extraterrestrial contact, and compilations that list Alpha Centaurians among peaceful races. The pattern has remained remarkably consistent for decades: the communications feel supportive rather than directive, focusing on empowerment and self-responsibility instead of promises of salvation or technological gifts.

This subtle, consent-based approach stands in instructive contrast to the more forceful or clinical encounters often associated with other Grey variants. Where some Grey narratives involve time loss, medical procedures, or fear, Alpha Centaurian guidance sessions are typically reported as uplifting, clarifying, and emotionally nourishing. The absence of coercion and the emphasis on personal growth reinforce the portrayal of Alpha Centaurians as mature, ethical neighbors who respect humanity’s free will and evolutionary pace.

From a research perspective, these telepathic and meditative sessions illustrate how Alpha Centaurians are experienced in the modern era — not through dramatic public events but through intimate, internal channels accessible to anyone engaged in spiritual practice. The consistency of themes across thousands of independent reports suggests a shared energetic or archetypal template, even if skeptics attribute it to cultural suggestion, active imagination, or the human psyche’s tendency to personify guidance during times of transition.
