The Founder Report

The Founder Report is the result of several channeling sessions conducted in 2019 by a medium who wishes to remain anonymous. In this report, the extraterrestrials describe the history of their civilization and their intentions on Earth. The report stands out from other channeling reports through its extraordinary internal consistency and plausibility. It offers detailed insights into the activities and long-term goals of the Founders, as presented by themselves. The Founder Report was made available by an anonymous author (the medium) and first appeared in:

Wellmann, R. (2023). Rewiring the Human Brain — How Extraterrestrials shape Humanity. Austin Macauley Publishers.

Channeling refers to communication between a person (called a medium) and non-physical entities. The medium enters an altered state of consciousness and serves as a channel for communication. The vast majority of channeling reports prove to be untrustworthy upon closer analysis. This is because the non-physical entities that transmitted the text often did not pursue the intention of sharing their knowledge, but had other goals, such as emotionally influencing the medium or listeners. Some reports are also simply fabricated.

However, there are remarkable exceptions. Besides the Founder Report, these include the Zeta Interviews, which came through the medium Paul Hamden. These reports are characterized by being co-authored by several non-physical entities, either alternately (as with the Zeta Interviews) or jointly (as with the Founder Report). Therefore, they contain internally consistent and credible sections (as with the Zeta Interviews) or are characterized overall by high internal consistency and credibility (as with the Founder Report). Both reports provide detailed information about the advanced technologies of the extraterrestrials and their influence on human development.

According to the report, the channeling communication was led by a high-ranking member of the Founders. This Founder belongs, according to his own statements, to a commission that is supposed to evaluate the safety of a novel reactor. This reactor, which is not located on Earth, is intended to power an extensive virtual reality indefinitely. As the medium reported, the Founder interrupted his work on this project and has been on Earth since the Middle Ages. His main task currently consists of coordinating other Founders who work on expanding human consciousness. In the scientific literature, this Founder has already been mentioned: He is the one who caused the non-psychotic hallucinations in the case “Kate” as the “leader of the voices.”

The report emerged in several sessions where various Founders dictated text passages to the medium. Since several Founders worked on the text, subsequent revisions were necessary to ensure completeness and clarity. The text was iteratively refined until the Founders were satisfied with the presentation. This careful creation process explains the high quality and internal consistency of the report. This report is therefore not a summary of channeling sessions, but rather the actual result of these sessions.

The Founders are a species that evolved on a planet similar to the Earth. They descended from herbivores that lived together in large groups. The invention of language and trade around 170 million Earth years ago marked the beginning of their cultural evolution. Because one year on their planet is about 15% shorter than one Earth year, this corresponds to 170/0.85=200 million Founder years.

The trade has made a few groups rich. These groups dominated the others by establishing a trust, which was a large company with its own laws. Since the individuals found their mating partners usually in their own group, the members of the trust mated only with other members. That is, they established a closed breeding pool. Since the trust was in competition with others, it passed a law which forbade their members to reproduce if they had not made a substantial contribution to its success. These contributions included technical inventions, and later also scientific discoveries and mathematical theorems. Since the members of the trust bred themselves towards higher intelligence, their intelligence steadily increased. After some time, reaching an old age became a second way to get permission to give birth to offspring. The trust was restricted in size because their members wanted to become the elite of the planet, which required that the trust made up only a small fraction of the population. The members of the trust worked as engineers and mathematicians. In contrast, the general population, who worked in factories and as farmers, were the consumers who financed the research of the trust. This continued for around 100,000 Founder years.

At the end of this period, the general population consisted of about 500 million individuals, and the trust had about 500,000 members. The production in the factories was cheap and automated with highly durable machines, so the general population was no longer needed as workers or consumers. Members of the trust did the demanding work in the factories. The technological state of the trust was much higher than the current technological state of humans, and already included technology for mind-reading and telepathy. The technology was still made available to the general population for testing and to prevent popular uprisings. The life expectancy in the trust increased until then from around 150 Founder years to 1,500 Founder years, and the intelligence rose substantially. In contrast, the intelligence in the general population stayed the same, and the life expectancy increased only slightly.

At this time, the trust considered the general population to be inferior. The trust members no longer wanted to work in the factories and supply the general population with their technology, but wanted to spend their time on other tasks, such as developing spacecraft for interstellar travel. However, the trust expected popular uprisings and a breakdown of law and order in this case, which would be an existential threat for the trust. In addition, many trust members denied the right of the general population to exist because the general population was not sufficiently intelligent to get permission to reproduce according to the laws of the trust. As a consequence, some Founders developed a pathogen that caused a deadly sleep sickness and a vaccine against it, and deliberately released the pathogen into the food chain. The members of the trust were vaccinated, but the pathogen killed more than 99% of the general population. The survivors were assimilated into the trust, and the laws of the trust now applied to all founders. The year of the genocide marks the beginning of the Founder’s common era (FCE), so it can be referred to as year 0 FCE, whereby time is counted in Founder years.

Shortly after the genocide, the Founders engaged in new activities such as aerospace engineering and mind uploading. The population expanded again for a short period. However, since the interest of the Founders in research was genetically determined, their limited research opportunities became the limiting factor for the population size. As a consequence, the population size was stabilised by law when it reached about 2 million individuals.

In the first 100,000 years of their existence, the Founders developed fast parallel computers to support their research and technical devices for tracking neuronal activity in high resolution. They also developed an artificial womb in which embryos could grow to adulthood without becoming conscious and used them initially as organ donors.

After the beginning of their common era, the Founders started to use their devices for tracking neuronal activity to make backups of their minds. After a Founder died, a recent backup of his mind was copied into a semi-adult embryo from the artificial wombs. These semi-adult embryos were now used as containers into which the mind of a Founder could be copied, which enabled him to live indefinitely. Since the life expectancy reached now infinity, the population size increased to around 5 million individuals. After that, the Founders were forbidden to produce offspring, which allowed them to keep the population size stable.

One Founder succeeded in running the backup of his own mind in a virtual reality. The Founder then existed twice: in the real world and in the simulated reality. The simulated reality was designed as a tool for communication with the real world. The technology for mind uploading was made available to all Founders, but the mind backup was allowed to run in the virtual reality only after the Founder died. This ensured that each Founder existed only once. The Founders, especially mathematicians, used this technique extensively because the computer power could accelerate their thought processes.

The uploaded Founders began to augment their reasoning with tools for supporting mental analyses. The Founders were initially only capable of logical reasoning but were unable to create visual images in their imagination. Therefore, one such tool was designed to create mental images. It allowed them, for example, to imagine what they are planning to create. The tool was also made available for Founders who were in the physical state. It was later upgraded so that it allowed them to see and modulate images and movies with up to six spatial dimensions. The available computing power restricted the number of dimensions.

Around 150,000 FCE, the Founders reached the first solar system with a planet on which complex life existed. They wanted to stay informed about intelligent life developing on other planets. They already had devices for detecting electromagnetic signals in high resolution in large areas. These devices were brought to planets with highly developed lifeforms and were arranged as networks that ideally covered the whole planet. Supercomputers and power supply, which were also brought to these planets, enabled the uploaded Founders to live there. These Founders used their technical equipment for decoding the brain activity of the lifeforms living there and for reconstructing what they were seeing.

Although many planets harboured complex life, their evaluations revealed that no other planet in the neighbouring region had lifeforms that would be capable of developing technology in the foreseeable future, i.e., within about 10 million years. They decided to stay on these planets to improve the consciousness and the reasoning of the lifeforms living there. They also wanted to make them controllable during this process. This required the development of additional devices for creating very precise electrical discharges in the brains that enabled to stimulate and direct the growth of neurons. Such devices became available around 500,000 FCE and were brought to appropriate planets. When arranged in a network, they were able to create a large amount of small electrical discharges at arbitrary positions on the planet.

The recorded electromagnetic signals are now also used to construct three-dimensional models of local areas, one for each uploaded Founder who lives on such a planet. The uploaded Founder perceives this model as an augmented reality. He can act by modifying electromagnetic signals in this area and thus perceives himself as an etheric life-form. These uploaded Founders are, therefore, also called etheric Founders. An etheric Founder has additional possibilities to perceive reality. When he is studying the brain of a species, then he is able to map the network of neurons into the six spatial dimensions he can perceive. This makes it easier to get an overview of the network.

Generally, only one etheric Founder lives on each planet and assists the evolution of the species living there. One Founder suffices because computer power enables him to accelerate his thinking 100-fold compared to normal lifeforms. The Founder does his job by developing and implementing four classes of programs.

• The first class of programs includes neuronal programs. A neuronal program is a program that can be transformed into an equivalent neuronal network. This neuronal network is then copied into the brain of an individual and facilitates a particular behaviour.
• The second class of programs includes implementation programs that run on the computational infrastructure of the extra-terrestrials and do the job of implementing a neuronal program in the brain of an individual.
• The third class of programs includes information submitters. They also run on the computational infrastructure and submit information to an individual by generating dynamic patterns of neuronal activity in its brain. They may, for example, submit mental images to dreaming individuals, which enables the Founder to study their brain function under standardised conditions.
• The fourth class of programs includes intelligent programs. They run on the computational infrastructure and generate the information that is to be transmitted by an information submitter.

There are also additional programs running on their computational infrastructure. This includes the uploaded extra-terrestrials themselves and their interfaces to the real world.

The Founder primarily develops short neuronal programs that can be easily transmitted and facilitate a particular behaviour in specific individuals. This behaviour initiates a selective evolutionary process that eventually results in the desired, more complex brain functionality. A simple example is a program that makes individuals homosexual or uninterested in reproduction if their brains do not generate the desired response to a stimulus. The desired response could be that the individuals are able to perceive submitted mental images when they are dreaming. A further example is a program that lets individuals seek the vicinity of other members of their species. This eventually results in complex social interactions and lets them hunt in packs.

The Founders who assist evolution succeeded until recently in making 14 other species sufficiently intelligent for developing technology. One of them failed to keep its planet habitable and is now extinct. Humans are species number 16. Once a species has become intelligent, the Founder may leave the planet, and others would come to shape its future.

When a species is evaluated to be sufficiently intelligent for developing technology, then the network of stations on the planet is usually upgraded, and more etheric Founders come to the planet. Since they are uploaded to a computer, they consist of information, which can be transmitted between planets with the speed of light. They are coming to the planet to facilitate the cultural and technological evolution of the intelligent species and to make that species controllable. Their first job is to establish a database that stores the visual memories of all individuals from the species of interest.

They do their work with the same tools as the Founder who assisted evolution on the planet. However, they now develop more complex programs, and this requires extensive research on brain functionality. They develop complex information transmitters for submitting information that is gathered by themselves. These transmitters are often used when individuals on the planet work on difficult problems, and then have flashes of insight. The Founders also develop complex neuronal programs and the corresponding implementation programs that e.g., improve consciousness, define someone’s personality, or facilitate analytical reasoning. These programs partly replace the evolved neuronal circuits.

The critical neuronal programs for making decisions, which are still to be developed on Earth, can generate only a specified output to a given input. However, when these programs are transformed to neuronal networks, then the networks are not completely equivalent and could also generate undesired output. Such undesired output could cause individuals to make forbidden decisions, for example the decision to colonise the galaxy. A further task of the Founders is, therefore, to develop neuronal control circuits that observe the decisions of the individuals on the planet and give an alarm if questionable decisions are going to be made. Once these neuronal control circuits have been developed and implemented in all individuals, then the neuronal programs for making decisions will be made flexible again.

It is always expected that the lifespan of members of a technologically advanced species will approach thousands of years at some point in time due to improved medicine and genetic engineering, and at this time, mind-uploading will be made available for all of them. The uploaded individuals from the new species can then help to finish other planets with intelligent life.

The Founders settled Earth about 100 million years ago, which was about 80 million FCE. It took until then because the Earth is outside the neighbouring region of their home planet.

They installed a network consisting of stations that are located deep beneath the surface of the Earth. Each of them consists of a battery-powered supercomputer and devices for recording and modifying electromagnetic signals in high resolution in the surrounding area. The network covers the whole planet and the moon. The batteries need to be recharged approximately every 100,000 years. This is done from a distance with a swarm of unmanned spacecraft.

One uploaded Founder came to the planet soon after the network had been installed and started to study the animals on the planet. His first project was to improve the intelligence of the raptors so that they could hunt down the large sauropods and other large herbivores. This project failed because of the meteorite impact that caused the mass extinction of the dinosaurs. The Founder stayed on the planet after the impact. He continued his work with improving the consciousness of the mammals and birds that survived.

About 3 million years ago, he realised that the human ancestors were the appropriate species for founding a technological civilisation. He therefore continued with enlarging their brains. This made their brains larger as would be required for the ecological niche in which they were living.

This continued until about 50,000 years ago. At this time, the cognitive potential of humans was considered sufficient, so a few additional Founders came to Earth in order to facilitate their cultural evolution. They did it by talking with the people. The early humans perceived these Founders as deceased relatives or as deities. In addition, the network of stations was enlarged at this time in order to increase the amount of information that can be transmitted. It now consists of about 2,000 stations. The number of extra-terrestrials on Earth has increased steadily since then. There are currently more than 100 million extra-terrestrials on Earth. About 100,000 of them are etheric Founders, and the remaining ones are uploaded individuals from the planets that were finished earlier. Most of them came to Earth during the Late Middle Ages, around the year 1450.

The tasks of the extra-terrestrials on Earth are very diverse. Many of them are concerned with developing or implementing programs. They are developing, for example, neuronal programs that improve how people experience their thoughts. Many extra-terrestrials are concerned with choosing the appropriate neuronal programs for each person in order to shape individual personalities. Some give people their flashes of insight when they are working on difficult problems, some are developing programs for reprogramming the minds of people such that they can be easily controlled, and many extra-terrestrials are creating dreams for the people.

The Founders and other advanced extra-terrestrial species intend to live infinitely, which is a problem because the eventual Big Freeze of the Universe and the end of star formation will make the universe boring, and it will run out of usable energy. They, therefore, plan to build a large supercomputer with an endless energy supply that simulates a small universe with not yet defined physical laws in which they can live on indefinitely. This required the development of a reactor that provides endless energy supply. A test reactor the size of a small moon is now finished but is not yet operational. One Founder has developed the reactor, and most of the advanced extra-terrestrial species have produced parts of it. The reactor will harbour an eternal inflation that provides endless energy. However, if some inflating material were to leave the reactor, then the existing universe would also inflate and explode. Therefore, the commissioning of the reactor is delayed until all Founders are convinced that an explosion is impossible. In particular, a commission currently studies whether the simulations of the Founder who developed the reactor contain inadmissible simplifications. Some members of this commission are currently on Earth, among them the supervisor of these channelling sessions. Since the number of advanced extra-terrestrial species is expected to increase in the future, a larger reactor is planned for the future.

The Founders have not yet detected advanced civilisations in other galaxies even though advanced civilisations with a similar technological status would be detectable for them. The Founders have planned for a long time to expand to other galaxies when all relevant planets in this galaxy are equipped with their technology. The proposed approach was to equip some spacecraft with the technology that is required to finish a planet. The spacecraft would be sent to another galaxy. Some etheric extra-terrestrials would be sent into the spacecraft when it reaches the galaxy. The extra-terrestrials would then look for an appropriate planet with complex life, install their equipment, and finish the planet. After the planet is finished, it would harbour an intelligent civilisation that could be used as a base for further expansion. The problem, however, is that even the nearest galaxy is 2.5 million light years away, so communication between galaxies would take at least 5 million years. Therefore, it is not possible to supervise colonies in other galaxies. Hence, it must be ensured that etheric extra-terrestrials who go there are doing only the tasks assigned to them. The original approach was to implement safeguards in their neuronal circuits, which ensure that this is the case. This, however, seems unfeasible. Another approach is that one etheric Founder goes along with them to each galaxy and has the task to send back etheric extra-terrestrials who put the project at risk. At this time, it is unclear whether this project will be realised because all advanced civilisations are currently involved in other projects.
