A Tribute to Shari Adamiak

By Dr. Steven Greer


Shari Adamiak passed on to the worlds of Light today, January 20, 1998 at 9:50 am MST.

Shari made her transition in the presence of friends and loved ones, peacefully and without pain.

I ask that everyone pause to say a prayer for Shari and the progress of her soul in the presence of God.

What words can contain our sense of loss and of the love we all shared with Shari?

Since 1991, when we first met at a lecture in Los Angeles, Shari has been a pillar of strength and support, an indefatigueable colleague, a true friend, an intrepid fellow explorer, an irreplaceable confidant and a fearless lioness without whose dedication CSETI could not have realized its many historic achievements.

She has been my right hand and trusted assistant for over six years. Whether braving the dangers of the remotest parts of latin America or assisting with meetings at the offices of the Joint Chiefs of Staff in the Pentagon, Shari was there with me - and for all of us. She never faltered and she never gave up.

Unphased by the barbs of critics or the machinations of relentless covert operations, she resolutely worked for a time of peace - a peace universal, for the earth and for countless worlds beyond.

How many wonders did we witness together? From walking in the shadow of some of this world's largest volcanoes with extraterrestrial spacecraft floating silently above us, to watching a dozen top-secret military witnesses tell an assemblage of Congressmen the truth about UFOs, Shari and I saw events unfold of such great significance that only the passage of time will
reveal their true and ultimate significance.

And through it all, Shari was filled with a joy, an excitement and energy, an almost child-like curiosity and wonder at the mysteries of creation and the astonishing potential of these times.

Even as her body began to fail her, she evinced a spirit of such grace, courage and love that all those who knew her were amazed and blessed by her example.

Just two months ago, in November of 1997, she journeyed to Joshua Tree wilderness in California with me. There she experienced what she loved most: the oneness with the stars, the universe and the communication with those peoples from other planets visiting our turbulent world. Fighting weakness, pain and increasing paralysis of her right arm and leg, Shari went into the desert each night, undeterred by the growing obstacles posed by her physical condition. And there, through the crossing point of light, we saw the depths of space and the people and spacecraft from other worlds, who await our own coming of age as a people. Nothing would keep her from this purpose.

Now, a great light has gone from this world, but it shines forever brightly in the realms of eternity. I know Shari was ready for this great journey: Precisely 7 mornings before the morning of her passing, we crossed over together to the other side, if only for a while. Awestruck, we witnessed a Light- a Presence- so beautiful, emanating from the center of creation. No words can depict it; it was beyond anything the intellect can grasp. An infinite brilliance, golden white in the center and becoming more peach, pink and magenta as it expanded infinitely before us, suffused us in a sea of love, joy and beauty unlike any experience of my life. It was the experience of the consciousness of God - pure light, unspeakable love and peace. And permeating that Spot were millions of voices joining as one, singing a melody too sweet to recall. And the refrain was: "We are all one in Spirit".

Knowing that her time was near, I came to Denver yesterday to see her to the other side. Last night while saying prayers, she emerged from the coma, and with a look of great joy on her face, opened her eyes. I told her all was ready for her transition to the world of Light, and that she should go when she was ready. I could hear her acknowledge these words, and a large tear
welled up in her eyes as she knew that our time together in this world was nearly over.

This morning, we were called to her bedside. As we gathered, we said prayers and prepared her spiritually for the transition. As lights and a breath of great spirit filled the room, we saw it was time, and I said: " Shari, go into the eternal light". With that, she took her final breath and ascended to Providence...

Even while knowing the joy and love of her present state, the loss is nonetheless severe. But let us remember her thus: She lives in the worlds of Light, joyous, and she would want us to continue the work to which she dedicated her life - the establishment of Universal Peace, and the creation of a cosmic civilization.

And we find hope in the knowledge that those who have passed on to the next world become the leaven which raises this world of existence. Shari and I discussed her future work, from beyond the veil of light, which would advance the cause of peace and enlightenment in all the realms of God. I have no doubt that she will serve well from her new home in the eternal and
become one of the angels of peace.

Without peace, there can be no progress on this earth. So let us work for peace with hearts filled with love. For when we pass from this world, all we really take with us is love- endless, infinite love.

In Honor of My Friend

by Lyssa Royal
The beautiful words written by Dr. Greer above eloquently express how I also feel about Shari. It is impossible to verbally capture her spirit and her heart and how she touched the people in her life. To honor her memory I would like to share some of my most happy memories of my time with Shari. [The photo to the right was taken with Shari and my husband Ron in the crop
circles of England in 1996.]

Shari was a friend to me as only two women can be -- a special bond that goes even beyond
words. We seemed to understand each other even without speaking and took great comfort and joy in each other's company. It is ironic that our bonding deepened even more after she was aware of the cancer. She lived with my husband and I in Phoenix for a total of 5 weeks during the summer of 1997 as she explored alternative cancer therapies. Though her visit was for a less-than-joyous reason, I cherished our time together.

One of my fondest memories was of sitting in a little italian restaurant in London (in 1996) with Shari and my husband Ron. We were leading a crop circle tour to England. My heart swelled and impulsively I grabbed her hand and told her how much I loved her and that I didn't even know why. I told her that my heart knew her like a sister. I began to cry and so did she. Shari,
Ron, and I held hands and cried in the middle of the restaurant, filled with love in our hearts.

During Shari's time in Phoenix, she took a great liking to our yard. She would often tend the plants for hours, talking to them and sending them love. At night she would lie in the back yard watching the stars and began to see devas and fairies in the yard who were obviously responding to the loving care she was giving the plants. She even brought the wildlife -- a family of bunnies who still now live in the yard and a half-dozen species of birds that would sing to her daily. On the morning of her passing, I inexplicably went into the yard and began engaging in the activities she used to love: pruning the trees and talking to the plants. As this is something I never do, I thought of her and how she brought life into our home and hearts. Though I did not know of her passing until later, it seems obvious now that a part of me knew and I went to her favorite place to honor her as she passed.

I too have journeyed with Shari to remote locations and shared the joy and excitement of experiencing extraterrestrial contact and working for universal peace. Shari and I saw the movie CONTACT together for the first time and shared a deep resonance with the subject and the lead character which, in some ways, could have been either of us.

Shari brought me back in touch with my feminine self. For some reason (probably one that is thousands of years old) she awakened a sense of an ancient Sisterhood within me and encouraged a female sacredness I had never touched before. She never did this through words, but just through our time together. I will miss her deeply.

The day after she passed, to my surprise, I spent an entire night in the dream state with her. At first we were riding in a car discussing a deeply philosophical issue about extraterrestrial life. Then we went to the house in which she was staying and I helped her prepare for her journey. We both knew we wouldn't see each other again in the same way. She was happy and at
peace but very sad at saying goodbye. We even went for a walk in a countryside not unlike that of England. Though she was tired and rested a lot, she had recovered some of her strength. She kept giving me little trinkets of hers for me to cherish as a keepsake. (This is very much like her. She would always give me little gifts). After we'd say goodbye, she would find me again
for "one last goodbye". When I awoke the next morning it was as if the energy of her entire being permeated my room. I knew she was at peace and most of all, I knew that my friend and I would never be far apart.

Thank you all for your kind thoughts and prayers and for holding my sister Shari in your hearts as I do.
