I first met Sheldan before he became famous, over 25 years ago, when he came to speak at a meditation group I belonged to of less than a dozen people (Colleen, I think you were in that group, too!). Before Sheldan, I basically believed in the existence of UFOs and extraterrestrials, but it was more like a fairy tale I believed in. As he spoke, I remember quite clearly how my eyes were wide open taking in everything he was sharing about his experiences. The idea of extraterrestrials became all too real for me, and I was excited at the possibilities for our planet's future. Sheldan added a dimension to life that made it so much more exciting. Here we are, 25 years later, and everything he opened me up to is on its way to actually happening. Thank you, Sheldan, for opening me up to a future that I did not know was possible. Emoji

Hi, Colleen, We know you must be going through waves of different feeliings since Sheldon has transitioned. Your appreciation memorial was beautifully written and a gift to all of us. We hold you in our hearts as you continue spreading his light (and your own) in the world. We know he is now exploring other interesting realms and meeting old friends wherever he goes! We are sure that he is continuing his work regardless of where he finds himself. We hold you in our hearts with love and we celebrate Sheldon's life and legacy.
With love, Pia and Cullen

Hi Sheldan, It's Linda Pullano here! I wanted to share a really wild story. I first heard about you – I think it was 2024 or 2025 – through an email from PAO. Totally out of the blue! The email said you were a star seed from Sirius, and it completely fascinated me. It felt incredibly familiar, especially since I'd just opened an angel shop after a pretty intense near-death experience that really changed my perspective. Anyway, I've been following PAO and everything ever since! The craziest part? Way back in 2010, I discovered *I* was also a star seed from Sirius! Talk about mind-blown! It all feels so connected now. I'm so grateful for your work, Sheldon, and I'm sending you tons of love and light!

In the early days of Sheldon's inspirations and my awakening, he was one of the first I listened to and watched. He was fascinating. The first I learned of ETs and their visits. He awakened my mind to subjects I'd never heard of and brought me to an understanding of a vast amount of topics. I'll miss you, Sheldon. We all will.

He was the best of the best. Not a bad bone in his body. A true humble spirit. I'm so sorry he's gone. My dearest condolences, Colleen.
Sincerely, Kevin Trainor

I started out following Sheldan and his information back in the 1990’s. I bought his early books and also the later versions of his guidance on the different intergalactic being. I went to a speakers workshop in Oregon in the early 2000’s where he gave a talk. He was such an earnest and amazing person with so much wisdom that I was sometimes overwhelmed with the information he provided. I connected with his and Colleen’s PAO whenever it was possible online. I still connect whenever I can. Thanks for all the amazing work they did.

Dear Colleen, He will be missed. Particularly the energy you and he generated, and it’s so appreciated that you are continuing his legacy. Sorry for your loss. Much love, Al & Sally, WA

In 2012 I discovered the Golden Age of Gaia, and through those wonderful messages I first heard about Sheldon Nidle and his teachings. I am still intrigued and amazed all these years later, and grateful for his courage and compassion. We will miss you, Sheldon. Fly free!! We love you always!! Tere Robinson, Indiana, US

Yes, it was Sheldan who inspired me to begin my serious evolving into greater consciousness and a divine universal communion with source. Such an experience i have never faltered to stop, nut to always continue so as to join a divine movement to also inspire as many souls as we can. As a result, I encourage as many humans a I can to focus on 5D environment we all well enjoy a one and as our Creator intends. Thank You Sheldan. We love you always and forever.

After my first contact with "craft" in 2012, I was fortunate to find his web-site and learn so much about the beings who contacted me. It was so mind-expanding and I thank him from the bottom of my heart. He inspired me to purchase a Pleiadean tachyon chamber and opened a new vista for helping to heal myself and others.

Sheldan Nidle was one of the earliest channels I read. It was so fascinating to read about the fleets of starships that circled our Earth and solar system. I emerged thoroughly committed to the success of what they were promoting - what they called "Ascension" - and decided to do a blogsite myself to see what the buzz was all about. I was devastated when Sheldan was injured by a cabal ray, designed to stop his work. And it did. But this Ascension is unique in the universe and everyone who assisted with it will have a place in universal history. I'm sure an honored place is there for Sheldan, one of Earth's lightworkers' pioneers. And I'm sure we'll find him on one of the motherships - New Jerusalem, I'd imagine - providing intel now on us!!!! Much love, Sheldan. We'll see you again, soon.
Steve Beckow, Editor-in-Chief, Golden Age of Gaia

Sheldan was the person who introduced me to both NESARA and the GCR RV in 2014. When I was at my lowest point in life for a few years I always had Sheldan's weekly updates to rely on and give me hope and inspiration. I had no news updates all week except for Sheldan's Tuesday update. I waited all week for it to be posted, then when it was I read it slowly multiple times and then eagerly waited for the next week's update. I'll never forget the impact his messages had on my life during those times. Love you!
Christopher Tremblay, Connecticut

I discovered Sheldon sometime after 2000 and attended every webinar for a long time. He introduced me to his world which resonated with me immediately and I have been researching and growing ever since! Thank you for opening my eyes and heart to a whole new world!

AloHA, Dear Sheldan:
I celebrate U in your reNEWed expanded state!
Back in 2005 at Joan Ocean’s seminar in Kona, I cried tears of Joy while listening to your stories of having played and learned aboard the craft during Childhood, referencing the scent of Roses filling the craft and the profound Love from your Galactic Family. Your revelatory video, filmed in Kailua, Oahu, of Lumeria and Galactic history was timely indeed; and I was fortunate to have been invited to be in the audience… About 7 short years ago, we had the precious opportUnity to speak on the phone with One another, and it warmed my heart hearing U speak so Lovingly of Colleen’s & your grandChildren ~ the future architects of our new Earth for sure! U’r a Brave man, Sheldan, having known suffering from a variety of sources, yet U carried on. May your new Self be Free to Create and Relax in Bliss! Thank U for all U’ve accomplished towards our Awakening and mostly for Being U) I LOVE U!

Words truly cannot express the sadness I feel for you Colleen, at this time of Sheldan's transition. He was one of the first people I recall who brought me into this wonderful world of Galactic Worlds and Beings. I bought his books, which I will always treasure, Sending you and MIles light, love, peace, joy and abundance always. I love you,
Bonnie Steelman Philadelphia, PA

About 2007, I had a friend who introduced me to Sheldon's online presence. I participated in his group for a few years. He blew my conservative mindset several times. This expansion was part of my growth to who I am today.
Marilyn founded a group to attune people to Reiki. I was in her first class. I was a participant in her monthly Reiki clinics held in her home. This group continued for several years. Marilyn retired after teaching elementary school for 25 years. She is over 90 and I heard she lived in a care center. I now live in northern California in Lake County. I love where I live and feel blessed. My condolences on the loss of Sheldon's unique view of our world. Blessings.
Nancy Taylor, California Lake County

My dear Sheldan, Blessings now and always. all books are wonderful. Galactic Neighbors introduced me to so many star Brethren. I reached out to the Reptilians with love and excitement about meeting them and seeing their beautiful colored scales as you described them. I felt them respond with love and a thought to get a Bearded Dragon. Wonderfully Hilarious. See you in the New Earth,
With Love and Appreciation, Dr. Gregory Flynn

When I first entered that bookstore in1996 I, of course, never knew the impact that that one book would have on my life. But it did. It was "You Are Becoming a Galactic Being". It led me to Sheldon's vast knowledge via taped lectures, videos, and later his webinars. Then Colleen and Miles took over when he was no longer able to continue. It turned my metaphysical, spiritual, and ET oriented self completely around and headed in the right direction, towards Ascension. Wow!! With his passing, I celebrate all he has given to us and continues to give to us via Colleen and Miles for all of Humanity and our glorious future soon to come!
Lynn James

Please accept my deepest condolences. I first discovered PAO back in 2015, and from that very first moment, everything that Sheldon shared struck a deep cord within me. His teachings awaken, something ancient in my soul, as if I were remembering truth from long ago. I, too, feel connected to the Syrian lineage, and in many ways, Sheldon felt like a long lost brother returning home. His words transform my life and guided me on a path of greater clarity and love. Month after month, I looked forward to his webinars – they were a beacon of light in my journey. I still treasure his books – our galactic neighbors, your first contact, and gory– each one a portal into higher wisdom. Though his earthly presence has been greatly missed since his attack, I take comfort in knowing he is now assisting this great ascension from the other side, freer than ever to share his light. Fly high, dear Sheldon. With love and gratitude.
Susan Dandey, Northern Utah

He started this wonderful organisation. He was an amazing human being! He’s merely left his third dimensional avatar behind and gone home! He’s on his journey back to source! I wish him the very brightest and best on his onward journey!
With much love, Jo Fairhurst (UK)

Sheldan Nidle was a quiet, gentle soul with an amazing mission!  I connected with him when he was in Denver, Colorado, sharing his knowledge.  His pao webinars were amazing too, and my thoughts and beliefs were expanded.  It is a blessing that he is now at peace!  But he will be remembered! 
Carol, Columbus, Montana

Colleen & ALL,
I was saddened by the loss of Sheldon; my condolences to all whose lives he touched! I followed his words and bought a couple books on alien races & first contact years ago. He made me believe that I am not crazy and showed me that there are like-minded people out there! Much gratitude & sending my love & virtual hugs! May Sheldon R.I.P. and may his legacy continue!
Best Regards, Jenny Swords

Dear Colleen and Miles,
Heartfelt sympathy to you and Sheldan's friends and loved ones on his recent passing. I am sure he is now with his galactic family in a better
place than we are experiencing on Earth right now. Sheldan was one of my first go-to people when I was first learning about ET contact and he was a wealth of information. I have all of his books including the Gori e-book and will revisit them all in the near future. His legacy will
definitely live on through his books and the PAO which has inspired and connected so many starseeds. Thank you Sheldan.
With much love, Jo Easton, Tasmania, Australia

You will be missed. I send my best wishes to your family and friends.
Gail Wallace

To Sheldan and entire Planetary Activation team,
My blessings and condolences to you all for the passing of Sheldon. I have been following him for almost a decade. The wisdom, love and light has always been and still is part of my day. I never miss a newsletter letter and I pass it on to others for their enlightenment. I Spread the love as you all do. So many incredible articles, transmissions, and uplifting stories. I thank you from the bottom and the top of my heart wholly.
Pease and blessings to you, Pam Danielle

Hello & Blessings! My name is Robin and I am in Australia. Please accept my deepest condolences regarding the recent transition of dear Sheldan: 'Just to simply affirm the immense degree to which my entire outlook and understanding and awakening and spiritual evolution progressed as a direct result of reading Sheldan's 1994 book 'You are Becoming a Galactic Human' - coauthored with Virginia Essene, if I remember correctly. It was SO refreshing and literally life-changing for me! I am eternally grateful! My Soul has thanked him many times over the last 30 years - and does so again now. Rest Well Sheldan, and fly with ease Brother.
Robin Mutold, Australia

Hi everyone, I’m so saddened to hear about Sheldan going on before us. He always was a way shower though! I held out hope that he would see the grand finale of all his hard work. He was told he would and I've been clinging to that hope. He'll see it from the other side now! Sheldan saved my life and sanity in 1994 when I was sick, and all of these strange occurrences started happening in my life. I wouldn't have made it without him! Thank you! Love and Light and a thousand blessings to you Sheldan,
Love you, April Alexander

I found out today, September 1st 2025. Labor Day. Sheldan worked hard for humanity. He inspires me to understand the interdementional politics that surrounds us. Now that he has merged one with the force we have a true navigator that cares for us all. Love and Justice.
GFL, Jody

My thoughts and love go to y ou all, Sheldon changed my life and I thank you so much, for that, love to you all, and big hugs,
from Barrie Evans

Sheldan, you were one of my first teachers, as a little girl I knew we weren’t the only ones, And reading your book about the other races and what they look like was just wonderful. Thank you So much, Sheldan!
Patti K, San Diego

Oh Colleen . . . my heart is sad.
Thank you for sharing Sheldan's journey with us. I came to know Sheldan in the early 2000s. He was instrumental in forming me into who I am. I will always remember him. And so doing I'll always remember you also. Thank you for continuing Sheldan's legacy. Soon, money will no longer be an issue for many of us, including The PAO. I see The PAO and Sheldan's revelations to us flourishing beyond our current imagination.
Many blessings. JimPeavey. Atlanta

Aloha Colleen. Selamat Jalawa.
It is with deep sadness that I received your message regarding Sheldon’s passing. I remember my conversations with him when you lived here on Maui and loved his Sirian updates and the messages from the Galactic Federation. I also enjoyed the conversations I had with you after you moved to California. As you may remember from our conversations I am a Blue Ray One being from Sirius, and Sheldon’s messages always reminded me of home. I have kept Sheldon in my prayers since he was first attacked and always hoped he would recover and continue his work here on Gaia. It is my understanding that many are returning home at this time as their missions change to do what is needed from the other side. I know you will miss his physical presence but I am sure he will be in contact with you in another way. Mahalo for all that you have done to continue to give us information from the galactic community. We have really enjoyed your podcasts. Be well. Selamat Gajun! Selamat Ja! Be one. Be in joy. He is in no more pain and has returned home.
Mahalo nui. Kathy McDuff, Hai’ku Hi.

I'm so sorry and saddened to hear about his passing. I'm aware this must touch you in many ways more than most may know. He was a special wayshower, knower and much more. Shared the Truth of our existence with the KNOWING of what has always been and coming forward in full public view. I Know Mary and I are both honored to have heard Sheldon many times in person and you too. Amongst many points, Sheldon will always be remembered as the one messenger bringing forward the Galactic Truth that was/is always destined for everyone to remember and Know. I'm disappointed Sheldon won't be in body to experience this unprecedented transformation on planet Earth, yet I deeply feel he will have his own extraordinary experience wherever he is.To Sheldon who brought So much light to the world, and made an invaluable difference and more.Taking whatever time you need, may you find peace of mind, spirit and comfort. Holding You and your entire family close in our hearts.
Tim and Mary Partenfelder

Oh Colleen,
Anthony and I are very sad to hear this. Although he is, no doubt, in a much more wonderful place and space right now. God Bless him.
It’s been some journey for you both these last few years. But what a legacy!!!!
We trust you are OK? Sending you much love - and huge hugs.
Stephen and Anthony

Dearest Colleen!
I just saw the news about Shelden, He is FREE! It is both joyous and heart aching. We were all blessed by his beingness, AND, he gave us Colleen! My prayers are with you and Sheldan, and my gratitude to you both!
Lovingly, Donna Clawson

Hi Colleen,
Just heard about Sheldan today. My dear friend,
I just read your newsletter of Sheldan's passing. I am both shocked and grief-stricken that he is no longer with us and especially with you. I have been a supporter of him and PAO since the "paper" days when I downloaded his lectures onto pages and pages. Actually it was around1996 when I was led into a bookstore and was guided to his first book, "You Are Becoming a Galactic Being". It changed so much for me and I immediately felt it's truth. Later I helped form a small PAO group here in Buffalo. One of my dearest friends came from that group and we see each other monthly, along with her husband to catch up and share.

Shel's webinars/lectures (both tapes and downloads) and later yours have been a monthly vibration enhancer for these many years and I own many of them as well as all of Shel's books. I would not be on this path if not for him and you since so much knowledge and awareness has opened up for me. I was always more aware and seeking even as a child but so much has come together for me because of Shel, you, Miles, and PAO. I am thanking him right now for all he has given to me and the world, also having set you on a path to continue the massive gift he has given us. I am sorry though that the GESARA and Medbeds did not materialize soon enough for him but it was as it should be.

Thank you Colleen for being in my life too as a long distance friend and fellow lover of life and all it has given and is giving us. I wouldn't be anywhere else but here in the heart of Ascension for our wonderful Humanity. My heart goes out to you in your loss of your beloved Shel. I will continue to support PAO as I have for these several years. I want and need it to grow and succeed as never before. My heart tells me (intuitively) that you will have a much bigger role and presence in our future than you know now. You are going to be"out there", girl, and I and many others will celebrate you. (I don't let out my psychic side out very often but I had to say that).
Love to you always! Lynn James, Buffalo
