Biography

Early years

Gilliland was raised in a small desert town spending most of his time in nature. While in high school, he was captain of the water polo team and the swim team.

Adulthood

Gilliland went on to study the construction industry, grocery industry, and real estate industry and was on the board of directors for the chamber of commerce. He owned a California-based commercial real estate company called Pro Realty Management,cite web | last =Moreno | first =Steve | authorlink = | coauthors = | title =JAMES GILLILAND / MT. ADAMS INVESTIGATION | work = | publisher =PSI Applications | date =January 29, 2001 | url =http://www.psiapplications.com/body_gillrep.html | format = | doi = | accessdate =2007-02-27] which developed and managed shopping centers and other multi-million dollar projects.

One day, while body surfing, a couple of waves forced Gilliland into the water, dislocating his shoulder and collapsing his diaphragm. After fighting the waves and making it to the top in order to get air, he noticed that he was incapable of breathing. It was at this point that he says his near-death experience occurred.

After the incident, James said he gave up his material world in order to pursue a spiritual journey. He moved to Santa Cruz, California, where he lived for six years, opening a meditation center during his time there. In 1986, he moved to Mount Adams, Trout Lake, Washington, opening up his Sattva Sanctuary, a 70 acre mountain retreat dedicated for spiritual healing. He has also been operating the Self Mastery Earth Institute (SMEI) at his sanctuary.cite web | last =Sheaffer| first =Robert | authorlink = | coauthors = | title =Reptoids and Martians Invade Silicon Valley.(Bay Area UFO Expo) | work = | publisher =Skeptical Inquirer | date =January 1, 2001 | url =http://www.accessmylibrary.com/coms2/summary_0286-10544488_ITM | format = | doi = | accessdate =2007-03-05 | archiveurl=http://nbgoku23.googlepages.com/skeptical_inquirer.pdf | archivedate=2007-05-26]

Gilliland says his sanctuary is at an opening to a dimensional portal where extraterrestrial ships travel to and from Earth. His first close encounter occurred after eight years of living on his sanctuary; while meditating in his home, he says that he heard a voice in his head originating from a UFO, and after leaving his meditation his sister ran inside informing him that a UFO was hovering over his house. Since then, Gilliland says that he has experienced close encounters with Pleiadeans, Andromedans, extraterrestrials from the Orion constellation,Citation | last =Lueder| first =Bret| title =Consciousness and Community in the Orbital | periodical=UFO Magazine| volume=22| issue=6| page =40-49| date =June 2007] and thousands of UFOs around his sanctuary. In one of his close encounters, Gilliland says that he was allowed to go on board one of the UFOs. During another one of his close encounters, Gilliland says he was hit by "three balls of energy" in the chest, after which appeared Melia, an "extremely loving, benevolent and yet down to business" extraterrestrial from the Orion constellation.
