Reinerio Hernandez J.D.

Reinerio (Rey) Hernandez graduated with honors from Rutgers College, was a Master’s Candidate at Cornell University, and was a Ph.D. Candidate at the University of California at Berkeley where he was the recipient of a National Science Foundation Ph.D. Fellowship. He previously was a professor for six years at the New School for Social Research and at the City University of New York. Previous to March 2012, Rey had zero interest in the topic of Consciousness or any of the so-called paranormal Contact Modalities. On March 4, 2012, Rey and his wife witnessed a miraculous medical healing of their paralyzed dog, whom they were going to euthanize that same day, by an Energy Being that appeared in their living room. After this initial experience, over the next 3 years, Rey began to have diverse paranormal contact experiences via what he coined “The Contact Modalities” (NDEs, OBEs, UFOs, Ghosts/Spirits, Remote Viewing, Channeling, etc.) Rey Hernandez is currently the Director of the Consciousness and Contact Research Institute, or CCRI, a 501c3 academic research institute comprised of more than 25 Ph.D. academics, medical doctors, and researchers whose mission is to explore a new paradigm that seeks to integrate the findings of consciousness research and the phenomenology of extraordinary experiences, what the CCRI calls the Contact Modalities, a term that he coined in 2013. Rey was previously one of the 4 co-founders of The Dr. Edgar Mitchell FREE Foundation, an academic research foundation comprised of 12 Ph.D. academics and lay researchers, who during a 5-year period, conducted the world's first and only comprehensive academic statistical multi-language research study on UFO contact experiencers. Much of FREE's research data, based on responses from over 4,300 UFO contact experiencers from over 100 countries, contradicts much of what is circulating in mainstream materialist Ufology. Rey was one of the 3 co-editors of the historic 820-page academic book titled “BEYOND UFOS: The Science of Consciousness and Contact with Non-Human Intelligence." Nevertheless, Ufology has ignored the data findings from this 5-year academic research study because the findings totally contradict what has been circulating in mainstream materialist Ufology over the last 80 years. Rey has recently published 5 new books which are a 4-volume book series (800 pages for each volume) titled “A GREATER REALITY: The New Paradigm of Nonlocal Consciousness, the Paranormal and the Contact Modalities”. His most recent book is titled, “The Mind of GOD: A Spiritual-Virtual Reality Model of Consciousness & the Contact Modalities”. These books attempt to provide an academic theoretical framework for the relationship between Consciousness and the Contact Modalities. Rey has also published in several peer-reviewed academic journals including the Journal of Consciousness Studies and the Journal of the Society for Scientific Exploration.
