The following is a conversation with Dorje Meta  Dorje is an experiencer, a friend of mine and the UAP Files, he’s written for UAP Files Substack and contributed in many ways. We’ve been talking for a long time now, behind the scenes. Dorje studies Zen, has black belts in Karate and Iaido. He’s been studying UFOs and ancient cultures intensely for a year now. The Phenomenon has become central to his life, sending him non-ambiguous suggestions towards a higher vibrational lifestyle.  He’s been tattooing for 18 years and owns his own studio, AREA Tattoo Studio, which is a nod to Area 51. Dorje is a multifaceted individual whose journey traverses realms both artistic and mystical. With a career spanning 18 years, he's honed his craft as a professional tattoo artist, crafting intricate designs that serve as living expressions of his clients' stories.  Yet, his identity extends beyond the tattoo artistry; he identifies as a sorcerer—a title earned through dedication to alchemy and Zen mastery. But what does it mean to be a sorcerer in the modern world? For him, it's not mere whimsy or pretentious mysticism; it's a profound reflection of a life steeped in esoteric wisdom. From martial arts to tantric meditation, from energy manipulation to remote viewing, he's delved into a mixture of disciplines, shaping a perspective that transcends the ordinary. A fascinating guy and a fascinating deep conversation.
