Lia Light

Lia Light is an organization that facilitates the work and disseminates the teachings of Lia Shapiro, a UFO contactee who claims communications from the Pleiades. She was born the daughter of an atheist Jewish father and Southern Baptist mother. As a child, in the 1950s, she had had a vision of an intense light which visited her son. Then in 1982, she had a born again experience and became an Evangelical Christian.

Finally, in 1994, while in Japan teaching English classes, Shapiro met a Japanese woman who told her that she had a great mission in her life. The woman turned out to be part of a Japanese New Age group with which she began to associate. They encouraged her to listen to her inner voice and to write down what she received. Then one day in 1995, while sitting at her computer, the words began to flow freely. The messages that she typed turned out to be communications from beings that claimed to be Pleiadians. She passed copies of the channeled messages to her Japanese friends, who encouraged her to continue. She also began to see herself as a Starseed, an extraterrestrial incarnated in a human body. She related this idea to a myth reported among the Cherokee people that they originated from the Pleiades.

The experience of channeling from the Pleiadians put Shapiro's life in perspective, from her childhood experience with the Light. She believes that the Pleiadians are here to enlighten humankind and lead people toward their destiny in the Light. Humans will come to know who they really are as Light beings.
