A Close Encounter That Changed Everything
In this episode of Wake Up with Miya, I sit down with Yossi Ronen, author of One: Face to Face Contact, to discuss an extraordinary experience that he says completely changed the course of his life. While living in Los Angeles in 1981, Yossi describes a close encounter that challenged everything he believed about consciousness, reality, and humanity’s place in the universe.
Yossi shares what he recalls witnessing during the encounter, including what he describes as telepathic communication and an overwhelming sensation of unconditional love. According to his account, the experience permanently changed the way he perceived both the physical world and the deeper connections between living things.
Consciousness, Near-Death Experiences, and the Nature of Reality
Throughout our conversation, we explore ideas surrounding collective consciousness, out-of-body experiences, and the similarities often reported between close encounters and near-death experiences. Yossi explains why he believes these phenomena may share common characteristics that point toward a much larger understanding of consciousness.
We also discuss how his senses and awareness changed following the encounter, leading him to question long-held assumptions about perception and reality. Our discussion expands beyond UFO experiences to include the possibility that plants, animals, and humans may all participate in a greater field of consciousness.
Fear, spirituality, and personal transformation become central themes throughout the interview. Rather than focusing only on the event itself, we examine how profound experiences can reshape a person’s worldview and encourage deeper exploration into life’s biggest questions.
Whether listeners approach this conversation from curiosity, skepticism, or personal experience, Yossi’s story offers an opportunity to consider ideas about consciousness, human potential, and the mysteries that continue to surround extraordinary encounters.

Exploring the Unknown With an Open Mind
Conversations like this remind me that some of life’s biggest questions don’t always have simple answers. Whether you believe experiences like Yossi’s are physical, spiritual, psychological, or something else entirely, they’re worth exploring with curiosity and thoughtful discussion.
