==Photon Belt==
Beginning in November 1996,<ref name=Palmer2003p331>Palmer, Susan (2003) p331</ref> Nidle 'channeled' a narrative that was an urgent call to humanity and involved an imminent apocalypse due to a planetary transformation of Earth.  He claimed to be leading a mission on Earth for the "Galactic Federation of Planets," in order to prepare the world for this coming transformation supposed to occur as the planet passes into the path of a cosmic 'photon belt',<ref name=Helland2000p140/><ref name=Wojcik2003p293-4/><ref name=Palmer2003p332>Palmer, Susan (2003) p332</ref> an area of outer space that he claimed had high energy properties similar to the [[Plasma (physics)|plasma]] in the atmosphere of stars.<ref name=Lamy2000p560/>  His narrative stated that the photon belt would aid Earth's transformation into a pristine state<ref name=Helland2000p140/> and restore the superhuman abilities of humanity by gradually transforming the genetic codes of all humanity from a double-helix DNA to a 12-helix DNA pattern.<ref name=Wojcik2003p294>Wojcik, Daniel (2003) p294</ref>  The "dormant" [[pineal gland]] would be activated and an immediate healing process would take place.<ref name=Gruenschloss2003p23>Gruenschloss, Andreas (2003) p23</ref>   It was expected that the human body, having lost certain cosmic capabilities in the past, would regain its galactic ability to rejuvenate itself, overcome illness and aging, and become telepathic.<ref name=Palmer2003p332/><ref name=Wojcik2003p294/><ref name=Gruenschloss2003p23/><ref name=Lamy2000p561>Lamy, Philip (2000) p561</ref>

The channelling claimed that human structures would be destroyed in the process of photon belt activation, and the only safe places would be underground or inside spaceships.  According to the early channellings, only extraterrestrial intervention by the Galactic Federation could save most of humanity.  Nidle channelled the narrative on at least a weekly basis, claiming that huge underground chambers were being drilled, and massive spaceships were being prepared to house humans who would join a deep space brotherhood.<ref name=Helland2000p140/><ref>Gruenschloss, Andreas (2003) pp23-25</ref>
