Rest in Peace - David Wilcock

[Bill Ryan]

Posted by GroovieBean (here)
Hello everyone,
I want to offer warm thoughts and condolences to the Wilcock family during this tragic time. His passing has brought up a mix of emotions — shock at the news, and a sense of relief that he is no longer trapped in the psychological turmoil that surrounded him for many many years.

As I looked online, I was struck by how quickly misinformation is spreading. Many newer voices don’t know the history, and they’re attaching him to narratives that are 100% inaccurate. It’s disheartening to see people repeat claims without research or context. young influencers trying to latch on as if they knew David or know the full story. Tying him with the missing scientists. To make a headline.

Those of us who were witnesses in 2017 till current saw how deeply he became entangled in unhealthy dynamics, pressure, and influence. In my view, the environment around him was psychological manipulation in MKULTRA — he was gradually broken down, reshaped, imo black mailed, and controlled through fear, isolation, and constant mental pressure. The fear inflicted I would say was very high due to experience. Over time, the overwhelming forces shaped his beliefs, his behavior, and ultimately his sense of self. The perfect victim for something far more sinister.

Some of the same individuals who contributed to that environment are now making public statements, which is surreal to watch. The cycle of narratives, victimhood, and recycled stories is repeating again, just as it did years ago. They get those clicks, shares, podcasts, be the first to tell a story that you weren't even in, make up possibilities, run it to the ground without really studying the facts and how large this faction goes. The other cult leaders out of Gaia and Producer will spin their rhetoric as long as it favors them, promotes them, and puts them on top. More hijack ufo/newage conferences will pop up. Useful idiots will be activated and the cycle begins.

His death has been reported as a suicide, and while people online are already speculating, I’m not surprised by the disbelief. Many only saw the public persona, not the psychological strain he was under. The Daily handling. Trying to keep up with all the LIES so not to mess up. Maybe knowing that he was indeed hurting people affected him. Hard to tell as he did it to the end. Those pressures didn’t appear overnight — they built over years. By the time legal and personal conflicts intensified, it seemed like the foundation he was standing on had already cracked.

Despite everything — including the harm he caused to me and others — I choose to remember his original genuine passion. For all the harm he did, He wasn’t acting alone; he was influenced, pressured, turned into clay, and shaped by people who understood exactly how to manipulate him. That doesn’t excuse the hurt, but it does add context to his decline.
Detach David before the Cult. Remember him then.
I hope people approach this moment with compassion, discernment, and a commitment to truth rather than sensationalism. Most of all, I hope he has finally found peace, free from the psychological abuses that consumed him.

Dear Groovie: what a wise, intelligent, compassionate and beautifully written post. You truly knew the entire story.

A little more.

My personal warm thanks to everyone above who has been so generous in their tribute. I'm finding myself thinking of this as a reminder of how vulnerable we all may be as fallible humans, how important it is to have close friends (did David really have any?), and the emotional complexity, for better or worse, that results from leading a life largely online.

It's easy to search for and find a bewildering array of internet posts and comments made over the last day or so. Including from Corey Goode, btw, who is now campaigning for action to be taken against the 'cyberstalkers and cylerbullies'.

No doubt David had his fair share of those, but most people active in the public domain quickly develop very thick skins about that kind of thing. It does have to be possible that David, who I know was more sensitive, fragile and vulnerable than he usually ever revealed, was never able to fully develop that kind of immunity.

As my own poorly worded tribute here, it's very clear that he inspired and motivated a very large number of people to look more deeply into the paranormal, and question the materialistic status quo in every way. Everyone who sincerely tries to do that — and David's sincerity was evident — has to be thanked and fully acknowledged. The world needs the misfits who every day ask inconvenient and difficult questions.

Directly connected with that, as Raskolnikov shared here, The Source Field Investigations, running to over 400 pages, was a superb work of scholarship and is an important book. David had an immensely high intellect, and he was an instinctive scholar. (And to match his intellect, he had a prodigious memory and could quote all kinds of detailed references without ever looking at any notes to check.) He told me once that his measured IQ was in the 180 range, and I saw no reason to doubt it.

But as some readers here may understand, that can be both a blessing and a curse. A very quick and overactive mind can sometimes go into overdrive and kind of spin out of control.

What this too may remind us all is that a high intellect doesn't ever protect us from the frailties of our emotions. And in reverse, our emotions can sometimes mislead our intellect to stray into doubtful territory which, paradoxically, that very intellect so often becomes very skilled in defending and justifying.

This is exactly what happened to David, and that all resulted in a domino effect of difficulties in the real world of his life which I suspect may have been far more stressful to him internally than anyone ever knew.

The countless other tributes which are now being written will generously emphasize his many gifts, his many contributions, and the positive aspect of his legacy. And that's a good thing.

Privately here, in our tiny corner of the internet, we may quietly reflect on how much more complex and paradoxical his life really was, and about the mistakes he made — as all humans do — which we may all hope he will learn from as the spiritual being he knew with certainty that he was. And he also knew, with equal certainty, that that long spiritual journey he was on will never end.

Beautiful tribute, Bill. So many kind words. Thank you for celebrating David's passion and brilliance, which he absolutely embodied.

I am devastated by this news. The core of David's light, no matter how dimmed by the confusion and darkness of this present world, still shone through as he navigated many hardships and attempted to discern the truth.

I agree with your statement about people active in the public domain developing a thick skin. A conversation we once had addressed this, where he shared some of his own wisdom with me: "As for all the hate, this is just 'the price of doing business' to have a career in this field."

We will never truly know what pushed David over the edge, but a large consolation for me today is knowing that David had a deep and loving passion for seeking the presence of God.

I pray that his soul is now resting with the faithful departed, completely at peace in God's presence.

I just want to say that it's amazing to be existing with all of you now, on the coolest website on the Internet

Thanks, Kindly Bill. Nice to hear. Hope you are doing well!!!

Good post.
In your opinion did Gaia do this?
If David had never been involved with Gaia, would he be alive today?


In my opinion the whole Edgar Cayce thing never did Wilcock any favors.
In a era of Harry Potter it kind of gave Wilcock this chosen one persona that I think he kind of bought into.
Fed an unnecessary cult of personality thing.
Dude would have been way better off staying low key writing books getting a job as an editor and continuing his studies.
Instead he bought into this for lack of a better phrase, rock star new age leader persona.
David should have bought the house next to Bill in Ecuador and centered himself rather than try to help others find themselves when he himself was so damn lost.

Just ran into this post on Facebook
Didn't want to make another post so adding it to this one.

[GroovieBean]

Seeing Kerry's post: my response; NO HE WAS NOT A SCIENTIST He had a bachelor's degree in psychology from SUNY and briefly worked in a psychiatric hospital: nothing hard science, engineering or physics. He did hold the title Director of advanced tech at Stavatti and sat on their board where he pushed ideas around exotic propulsion and free energy tech. He basically bought his way in as an investor. The company has never produced a single aircraft, faced fraud lawsuits, lost government subsidies, and got evicted from their hangar. view3ed as more of a promo gig than real engineering role.

RIP David.

Like many others, I am very grateful for David's earlier works including the Sourcefield Investigations. I credit and commend him for waking up many of us to the realities of the establishments and status quo in the world. He also made my wife and I aware of Project Camelot, Kerry and Bill.

I am so very sorry that David suffered and had to take his own life. Speaking from my own experiences, it is not easy to be overly sensitive and maintain a balanced outlook on life. With all the outer forces that be, one becomes an easy target in the physical world but even more so in the invisible realm by those who' d like to keep their status from being discovered. Respect to you David and I hope you keep up the fight on the other side! Namaste.

[GroovieBean]

THANKS FOR THE QUESTIONS:

KINDA FEELING LIKE TIME TO REALLY SET THINGS STRAIGHT LOL... any podcasters out there? may have to go leave a note on Kerry post

In your opinion did Gaia do this?
If David had never been involved with Gaia, would he be alive today?

Gaia is a platform. This platform recruits various genres for various applications. Gaia allowed the platform for David and Corey, they created a "real professional mainstream show" aesthetics, they paid well for more made-up stories because they were making millions. Gaia in my opinion does have a huge responsibility as knowing what cult leaders they produced, knowing what Corey and David did; after having them stop, they continued with fake ssp liars such as Emery Smith. Many on that platform are actors. Gaia knows all the abuse yet did nothing. NOT one THING.
Jay Weidner the producer of cosmic disclosure did that interview with me, my goal was to get him to apologize and admit it was all fake. He did so. I presented a deep dive, several interviews with him and called out David and Corey. I have every receipt there is possible for the entire story. All of it.

David was great until the day he met Corey Goode, his main handler.

[Kryztian]

Great to see both Groovie and Teresa back here after all these years. The Corey Goode story was probably one of the most tumultous incidents in the 15 year history of this forum, and you both had front seats on that very emotional rollercoaster ride that passed by the Sphere Beings and some other fantastical chimeras that ultimately took you to very rough landing in a thorny bed of ugly truths. You both had tremendous courage to share your stories here and on Youtube and help us understand one of the greatest frauds of our time and the strange and complex figure behind it. Many of us here on the forum are deeply grateful for what you have shared and hope you are doing well in your lives.

From Cliff High:

It's SO predictable with these personalities.
@coreygoode
is using the suicide of David Wilcock, his primary victim, to up-pimp his grift.
NO David was not killed by the deep state.
NO David was not taken out as part of the UFO guys who are gone or dead.
YES, David's death had EVERYTHING to do with his association with the self-admitted liar and grifter and his fantasy of this Seecret **** Space Program, Corey James Goode.
On June 5 of 2025, i made a phone call to David. He answered but was unresponsive to my asking that he listen to my idea to save his identity, image, and now we know, his body's Life.
This suicide was apparently not preventable, though i tried. This suicide was the culmination of forces set in motion by David connecting with Corey Goode.
In my opinion, David Wilcock is the victim of a manipulating personality with antagonistic drive using narcissistic (extreme levels) techniques to control his victims.
There were many victims of Corey beyond David.
i do not count myself among those. Corey attacked me for saying publicly that i thought he was lying about his 'space adventures' (which he admitted in court was exactly the case). Corey set his cult against me. i was assaulted and had to fight these stalking retards in public spaces.
Corey Goode made himself my enemy by attacking me. So i fought him.
David Wilcock was made a 'friend' by Corey's manipulation and mind ****ery. So he suicided.
IMO better to be an enemy of Corey Goode. His 'friends' don't do well.

From Jay Weidner

David Wilcock was a goofy dude who has some interesting ideas.
People say he was a grifter, but outside of selling his books, he never tried to make money from what he was doing.
However all that changed after he met Corey Goode. Then a darkness fell over David.
He thought that he was going to be brought into the Secret Space Program, he began channelling Ra, and thought Corey Goode was the real deal.
Then paranoia, promoted by Corey Goode, began to invade his consciousness. The only way for Corey Goode to keep David in his camp, was to constantly raise the paranoia stakes.
David thought his wife's brakes were slashed. His friends dog died. So it all had to be about Corey Goode and the Secret Space Program.
He thought that David and Corey Goode were leading humanity towards Disclosure. It was a hero's journey.
He rebelled against me telling him to be careful with Corey Goode. He was 'all in' for Corey Goode.
His mental condition was obviously declining as he lived in a huge house, in the desolate mountains, all alone, believing Corey's lies all the way to the end.
Corey Goode promoted lies to make money. He used David Wilcock more than anyone else.
There is a hell waiting for you Corey Goode.
I know. I was there. I am the witness.

I agree Corey must've played a role for sure (and perhaps whatever he was holding on him), but not like David was some innocent babe in the woods though he could come across so..he was saying or doing whatever to keep himself a 'star', as his past entertainment ventures had failed. I feel for him in a way but his own character flaws led to his demise, IMO. He was not really that good a person but was a talented story teller with the ''aw shucks'' corn fed demeanor, sorry but this is how I see it, and from what I know being a long time ''contact'' attendee who heard and saw things.

Mod note from Bill, attempted to be expressed in the gentlest way.

( - addressed to everyone - )

Please resist the temptation, if you can, to embed YouTube videos, TikTok videos, or anything else on this thread that's not your own. (There are a LOT out there now.)

That kind of diminishes the thread, though that may never be your intention.

We very much welcome anyone's personal feelings, experiences, and reflections on what David's life meant. Many here have thought quite hard to express something that was important for them to say, even if it was shared as a short, simple statement. I and many others have appreciated everything that everyone has posted here so personally.

David ended his own life because he was under a level of stress that must have felt to him impossible to handle for one more day. He'd had a very bad week, followed by a very bad weekend. He'd said so himself. And GroovieBean and Teresa Yanaros did their best to explain that he'd been under that kind of steadily increasing heavy load for years.

They both knew him well, as I did myself. It's a tragic, all-too-human story: a complex one, but one which any Greek poet would have understood.

As GroovieBean said so well, we probably need to insulate ourselves somewhat from the avalanche of well-meaning comments and videos from people who never really knew David, or any of the actual inside story.

[Dumpster Diver]

RIP to the guy, more than anyone else, got me to “look under the surface”. Like most everyone else, I eventually got disaffected with the GAIA “fallout”…and frankly the $333 “lesson” hustles.

…but frankly, I really do think that the more you stare into the abyss the more likely it will stare back. This comes after spending a bit of time on the occult and then realizing it’s corrosive affect.

[alexl1989]

May he rest in peace...I remember it was around 2010 when I started watching his videos, I think it was he, David Icke , Bill and Kerry , these we're the Youtube channels I was watching the most at that time...

[Whiskey_Mystic]

It's true that I was not a fan of David's. But I also acknowledge that his messages of positivity got me through some dark times. He did a LOT to help people break free from the old paradigms and embrace new ideas and contemplate new ways of being.

I would say “Rest in Peace,” but I don’t think he has any intention of doing so. Now that he has crossed over, I expect that he will be busier than ever waking people up and shifting the frequency.

Thank you, David, for everything you gave us while you were here. See you when we see you.

[Kindred]

Sincerely, RIP David

That's about all I can say. I never followed him... There's no need to disparage the being or his memory - he was doing what he felt was 'right'. At least until he got caught up with those who chose to exploit him and his following.

Looking in from the outside, I Strongly feel the pressures building up behind him, as many have already described, was ultimately his downfall.... particularly those Financial pressures that come about with 'living life in the public's eye and living the dream'... too often it becomes a nightmare, and we see this played out all around us.

In that vein, I'll simply point out the elephant in the room, and humanity's Biggest Problem on Earth... MONEY

It Truly is the Root of ALL EVIL, and was the REASON that Jesus threw the money changers from the temple.

Many fail to see it's roots for humans are fallible. We have egos and fears that can consume us if we are not careful and vigilant in using and directing our Energies.

Again, RIP David. May your Journey be filled with New Life and Hope.

In Unity, Peace and LOVE

[Inversion]

I recall a story David told where an envelope with money in either cash or check was taped to the back of a filing cabinet. That allowed him to get by for the interim. Some sort of overseer group must have an ability to add or delete items from our reality. Had it not been for that money he might have strayed off path and not written his books. That reminds me of a story the late Sean David Morton told Michael Salla and is probably in one of his books. I remember the two of them sitting behind a conference table some twenty years ago at some event and David stole the show.

Michael Salla Material The video was removed for violating YouTube's community guidelines.

49:27. He talked about the battle of the Spanish armada. They traveled back in time to 1588 and generated a wind behind an English frigate which allowed them to T-bar a man-of-war ship. Then they created a storm giving the Brits a victory over the Spanish. Had they not won there would have been no freedom in the future.

[peace]

goddamnit.

Rest In Peace, David.

[Kryztian]

I started this thread with the purpose of allowing members to post their remembrances of David Wilcock and for leaving thoughts about his work, and for allowing those who knew him personally to share their thoughts and memories. We are delighted to see some of those people back on the forum after a few years absence.

David left behind a very mixed legacy and I was hoping to kind of this thread on the positive side. On the other hand, some of the people who found themselves in the same circles and David and Corey Goode have suffered deeply and greatly and if they have things to say, positive or negative, I would very much encourage to speak up and help us all make sense of the calamity of the last 8 years of his life and his tragic death.

The conspiracy theories about David's death are really inappropriate here (for reasons I will not go into) and some of the conspiracy posts will be transferred to a new thread.

Please do not put conspiracy posts on this thread. Please put them here.

Thank you.
