1 00:00:02,790 --> 00:00:08,070 [Music] 2 00:00:11,509 --> 00:00:09,830 hello and welcome to the point of 3 00:00:14,950 --> 00:00:11,519 convergence podcast 4 00:00:16,630 --> 00:00:14,960 as always i am your host exo academian 5 00:00:18,630 --> 00:00:16,640 in this the fourth episode of the 6 00:00:20,790 --> 00:00:18,640 podcast we will discuss 7 00:00:22,630 --> 00:00:20,800 both some of the stubborn challenges as 8 00:00:23,590 --> 00:00:22,640 well as some of the unique opportunities 9 00:00:25,910 --> 00:00:23,600 that exist 10 00:00:27,990 --> 00:00:25,920 when studying an enigmatic topic such as 11 00:00:30,070 --> 00:00:28,000 ufos and the phenomenon 12 00:00:31,910 --> 00:00:30,080 how can we make headway when studying 13 00:00:34,470 --> 00:00:31,920 non-human intelligences 14 00:00:36,470 --> 00:00:34,480 apparently able to manipulate perception 15 00:00:37,190 --> 00:00:36,480 consciousness and even the supposed 16 00:00:40,630 --> 00:00:37,200 constants 17 00:00:41,350 --> 00:00:40,640 of the natural world now just as a 18 00:00:42,709 --> 00:00:41,360 refresher 19 00:00:46,389 --> 00:00:42,719 we're going to consider some of these 20 00:00:48,549 --> 00:00:46,399 examples of perception manipulation 21 00:00:50,229 --> 00:00:48,559 case number one a family is driving in 22 00:00:52,069 --> 00:00:50,239 the mountains when one of the children 23 00:00:53,350 --> 00:00:52,079 remembers seeing a strangely colored 24 00:00:55,430 --> 00:00:53,360 school bus 25 00:00:57,430 --> 00:00:55,440 the other child remembers christmas 26 00:01:00,950 --> 00:00:57,440 lights on a cabin 27 00:01:04,549 --> 00:01:00,960 even though it was mid-july only later 28 00:01:05,189 --> 00:01:04,559 was this remembered as a ufo case number 29 00:01:07,350 --> 00:01:05,199 two 30 00:01:10,830 --> 00:01:07,360 a man is in his living room when an 31 00:01:11,990 --> 00:01:10,840 entire wall of the house seems to 32 00:01:14,149 --> 00:01:12,000 disappear 33 00:01:15,510 --> 00:01:14,159 other words it dematerializes right in 34 00:01:18,550 --> 00:01:15,520 front of his eyes 35 00:01:21,190 --> 00:01:18,560 and then gray aliens appear 36 00:01:23,030 --> 00:01:21,200 another case a woman is driving down a 37 00:01:24,950 --> 00:01:23,040 major highway in france 38 00:01:26,390 --> 00:01:24,960 to find she is suddenly not only seeing 39 00:01:29,990 --> 00:01:26,400 a ufo above 40 00:01:32,390 --> 00:01:30,000 but that she is the only one on the road 41 00:01:34,310 --> 00:01:32,400 yet another case a man driving down a 42 00:01:35,590 --> 00:01:34,320 busy section of the i-5 in southern 43 00:01:38,550 --> 00:01:35,600 california 44 00:01:39,830 --> 00:01:38,560 when he notices a large ufo above but 45 00:01:42,870 --> 00:01:39,840 what's strange is 46 00:01:46,230 --> 00:01:42,880 while the freeway is heavily populated 47 00:01:48,870 --> 00:01:46,240 no one else seems to be seeing it 48 00:01:51,190 --> 00:01:48,880 yet another case a couple is on a trip 49 00:01:53,030 --> 00:01:51,200 to a lake cottage together 50 00:01:56,709 --> 00:01:53,040 and they end up having experience with 51 00:01:59,590 --> 00:01:56,719 alien contact later that evening 52 00:02:01,190 --> 00:01:59,600 what's strange is later long afterwards 53 00:02:02,550 --> 00:02:01,200 months afterwards in fact they are 54 00:02:05,350 --> 00:02:02,560 looking at photos 55 00:02:06,069 --> 00:02:05,360 from that weekend trip and they find a 56 00:02:09,430 --> 00:02:06,079 photo 57 00:02:12,390 --> 00:02:09,440 where clearly a ufo is above the lake 58 00:02:13,750 --> 00:02:12,400 what's strange is they have no recall of 59 00:02:16,309 --> 00:02:13,760 seeing that ufo 60 00:02:16,790 --> 00:02:16,319 in real time when clearly based on the 61 00:02:20,869 --> 00:02:16,800 photo 62 00:02:25,830 --> 00:02:22,630 consider these additional facts that are 63 00:02:26,229 --> 00:02:25,840 strange now these beings these entities 64 00:02:29,670 --> 00:02:26,239 these 65 00:02:30,630 --> 00:02:29,680 others often have feet and sometimes 66 00:02:33,110 --> 00:02:30,640 they do walk 67 00:02:34,150 --> 00:02:33,120 like humanoids other times though they 68 00:02:36,949 --> 00:02:34,160 are seen to be 69 00:02:37,589 --> 00:02:36,959 simply floating above the ground and in 70 00:02:39,509 --> 00:02:37,599 addition 71 00:02:40,630 --> 00:02:39,519 people who have been moved by these 72 00:02:42,550 --> 00:02:40,640 beings 73 00:02:44,309 --> 00:02:42,560 don't simply walk out of their homes 74 00:02:45,750 --> 00:02:44,319 sometimes they do but often they're 75 00:02:47,750 --> 00:02:45,760 actually levitated 76 00:02:51,509 --> 00:02:47,760 and floated straight through walls and 77 00:02:53,509 --> 00:02:51,519 outside their homes 78 00:02:54,550 --> 00:02:53,519 now in regards to the manipulation of 79 00:02:57,509 --> 00:02:54,560 our perception 80 00:02:58,949 --> 00:02:57,519 consider this case dr joseph burks 81 00:03:00,550 --> 00:02:58,959 recounts an experience 82 00:03:02,830 --> 00:03:00,560 where he was speaking with a friend on 83 00:03:04,229 --> 00:03:02,840 the phone who was noticing a strange 84 00:03:06,309 --> 00:03:04,239 manifestation 85 00:03:08,229 --> 00:03:06,319 in one corner of the room and it was 86 00:03:10,550 --> 00:03:08,239 causing the man to tear up 87 00:03:12,790 --> 00:03:10,560 that is to say not cry out of emotion 88 00:03:14,790 --> 00:03:12,800 but just tear up 89 00:03:15,910 --> 00:03:14,800 interestingly dr joseph burgs had an 90 00:03:18,470 --> 00:03:15,920 idea he said 91 00:03:19,750 --> 00:03:18,480 try closing your eyes and the man did 92 00:03:21,990 --> 00:03:19,760 and strangely 93 00:03:23,670 --> 00:03:22,000 he could still see the manifestation 94 00:03:26,470 --> 00:03:23,680 that was in the corner of the room 95 00:03:27,110 --> 00:03:26,480 even with his eyes closed so it appears 96 00:03:29,190 --> 00:03:27,120 that 97 00:03:32,149 --> 00:03:29,200 the phenomenon the intelligence behind 98 00:03:34,229 --> 00:03:32,159 the phenomenon was actually manipulating 99 00:03:35,990 --> 00:03:34,239 within his optic nerve and causing a 100 00:03:37,589 --> 00:03:36,000 physiological reaction 101 00:03:39,509 --> 00:03:37,599 and to the man it looked like an actual 102 00:03:42,789 --> 00:03:39,519 manifestation in the physical world 103 00:03:46,949 --> 00:03:44,789 sherry wilde is an experiencer who 104 00:03:49,509 --> 00:03:46,959 recounts many strange encounters 105 00:03:50,949 --> 00:03:49,519 in her book the forgotten promise now 106 00:03:52,949 --> 00:03:50,959 one of the first times she was 107 00:03:54,710 --> 00:03:52,959 confronted with this concept that she 108 00:03:55,910 --> 00:03:54,720 had been contacted by non-human 109 00:03:57,830 --> 00:03:55,920 intelligence 110 00:03:59,830 --> 00:03:57,840 came with a meeting with a friend now 111 00:04:02,070 --> 00:03:59,840 let's first go back a few months 112 00:04:03,429 --> 00:04:02,080 one day she drove across town to meet up 113 00:04:06,630 --> 00:04:03,439 with a friend and then 114 00:04:07,350 --> 00:04:06,640 go shopping now months later after this 115 00:04:09,670 --> 00:04:07,360 event 116 00:04:12,070 --> 00:04:09,680 the friend brought up ufos and said 117 00:04:13,910 --> 00:04:12,080 speaking of ufos whatever happened about 118 00:04:16,069 --> 00:04:13,920 that ufo you saw when you came to my 119 00:04:17,830 --> 00:04:16,079 house when i went shopping 120 00:04:19,909 --> 00:04:17,840 sherry was very perplexed she had no 121 00:04:22,069 --> 00:04:19,919 idea what the friend was talking about 122 00:04:23,749 --> 00:04:22,079 the friend went on to say yeah you came 123 00:04:25,510 --> 00:04:23,759 running in the house going on and on 124 00:04:26,070 --> 00:04:25,520 about a ufo you had seen and that's why 125 00:04:28,629 --> 00:04:26,080 you were so 126 00:04:30,150 --> 00:04:28,639 late and that you needed to tell me 127 00:04:34,469 --> 00:04:30,160 because you had some sense that you were 128 00:04:38,390 --> 00:04:36,230 now with the case we just described with 129 00:04:41,030 --> 00:04:38,400 sherry wilde we see the 130 00:04:43,189 --> 00:04:41,040 repeated incident of missing time this 131 00:04:44,950 --> 00:04:43,199 happens in many of these encounters 132 00:04:47,670 --> 00:04:44,960 and it's just another example of how 133 00:04:49,590 --> 00:04:47,680 space time is manipulated 134 00:04:50,950 --> 00:04:49,600 now in previous episode i think it was 135 00:04:53,670 --> 00:04:50,960 in the first episode 136 00:04:56,150 --> 00:04:53,680 i uh shared that i myself and it have 137 00:04:58,230 --> 00:04:56,160 had experiences with this phenomenon 138 00:05:01,029 --> 00:04:58,240 and over time i plan to get into some of 139 00:05:03,670 --> 00:05:01,039 those i'd like right now to share one 140 00:05:05,909 --> 00:05:03,680 and it's a recent one actually and it 141 00:05:07,590 --> 00:05:05,919 was more that i was an observer of this 142 00:05:10,469 --> 00:05:07,600 happening to someone 143 00:05:12,150 --> 00:05:10,479 specifically it happened to my wife now 144 00:05:13,029 --> 00:05:12,160 my wife and i have had experiences 145 00:05:15,670 --> 00:05:13,039 together 146 00:05:17,189 --> 00:05:15,680 and separately the experiences tend to 147 00:05:18,469 --> 00:05:17,199 happen more often to my wife than they 148 00:05:21,510 --> 00:05:18,479 do to me 149 00:05:23,670 --> 00:05:21,520 this is what happened just two weeks ago 150 00:05:24,710 --> 00:05:23,680 we were driving back from getting 151 00:05:27,029 --> 00:05:24,720 groceries 152 00:05:28,629 --> 00:05:27,039 and driving down this long straight road 153 00:05:29,990 --> 00:05:28,639 and i was talking at the time i don't 154 00:05:32,150 --> 00:05:30,000 remember what i was talking about but i 155 00:05:33,909 --> 00:05:32,160 was going on for several minutes 156 00:05:35,670 --> 00:05:33,919 at some point it occurred to me that my 157 00:05:37,510 --> 00:05:35,680 wife wasn't responding she usually gives 158 00:05:38,710 --> 00:05:37,520 some sort of verbal cues to say she's 159 00:05:41,510 --> 00:05:38,720 understanding what i'm saying 160 00:05:43,110 --> 00:05:41,520 some sort of feedback so i looked across 161 00:05:43,749 --> 00:05:43,120 i was in the passenger seat she was 162 00:05:46,950 --> 00:05:43,759 driving 163 00:05:47,749 --> 00:05:46,960 i looked across at her and just that 164 00:05:50,150 --> 00:05:47,759 moment 165 00:05:51,909 --> 00:05:50,160 her eyes went really wide she looked 166 00:05:52,790 --> 00:05:51,919 like she had the deer in the headlights 167 00:05:55,510 --> 00:05:52,800 look 168 00:05:57,749 --> 00:05:55,520 her mouth was open she was gripping the 169 00:05:59,510 --> 00:05:57,759 steering wheel strangely 170 00:06:01,189 --> 00:05:59,520 and i asked her what was wrong because 171 00:06:03,749 --> 00:06:01,199 it looked very strange 172 00:06:04,950 --> 00:06:03,759 and she said in that moment what were 173 00:06:07,430 --> 00:06:04,960 you talking about 174 00:06:08,629 --> 00:06:07,440 and i recounted what i was what had just 175 00:06:11,350 --> 00:06:08,639 been saying 176 00:06:13,270 --> 00:06:11,360 and then she proceeded to say that uh 177 00:06:14,230 --> 00:06:13,280 she had completely lost track of what i 178 00:06:15,990 --> 00:06:14,240 was saying 179 00:06:17,830 --> 00:06:16,000 in fact she didn't understand how we 180 00:06:18,629 --> 00:06:17,840 were on the section of the road that we 181 00:06:20,550 --> 00:06:18,639 were 182 00:06:23,270 --> 00:06:20,560 and that she couldn't account for about 183 00:06:25,189 --> 00:06:23,280 10 minutes of time 184 00:06:26,710 --> 00:06:25,199 now this is really really strange and 185 00:06:28,550 --> 00:06:26,720 this is what happens to people it's 186 00:06:30,390 --> 00:06:28,560 incredibly discombobulating 187 00:06:32,950 --> 00:06:30,400 because all sorts of questions occur to 188 00:06:35,510 --> 00:06:32,960 you okay if this happened 189 00:06:37,189 --> 00:06:35,520 if my wife was taken out of her body or 190 00:06:38,950 --> 00:06:37,199 consciousness taken elsewhere 191 00:06:41,670 --> 00:06:38,960 how was it that she continued to drive 192 00:06:43,590 --> 00:06:41,680 the car you do hear cases where people 193 00:06:44,390 --> 00:06:43,600 are pulled off the road or the car 194 00:06:46,870 --> 00:06:44,400 breaks down 195 00:06:48,150 --> 00:06:46,880 suddenly and people disappear from the 196 00:06:50,309 --> 00:06:48,160 car and then are put back in their 197 00:06:52,309 --> 00:06:50,319 bodies at least that's their experience 198 00:06:54,629 --> 00:06:52,319 in this case from my experience as the 199 00:06:56,230 --> 00:06:54,639 observer we kept driving down the road 200 00:06:57,350 --> 00:06:56,240 my wife kept driving a completely 201 00:07:00,390 --> 00:06:57,360 straight line 202 00:07:01,510 --> 00:07:00,400 she never slowed down or sped up and yet 203 00:07:03,510 --> 00:07:01,520 from her experience 204 00:07:04,870 --> 00:07:03,520 suddenly 10 minutes was missing we were 205 00:07:05,749 --> 00:07:04,880 on a section of the road she didn't 206 00:07:07,270 --> 00:07:05,759 remember 207 00:07:09,990 --> 00:07:07,280 she wasn't even sure how she kept 208 00:07:15,510 --> 00:07:10,000 driving it was very discombobulating 209 00:07:19,909 --> 00:07:17,670 now you have some idea of why this topic 210 00:07:23,270 --> 00:07:19,919 is so fascinating to me so engaging 211 00:07:24,870 --> 00:07:23,280 and so personal um if this was a one-off 212 00:07:25,510 --> 00:07:24,880 situation and if i didn't have a 213 00:07:28,469 --> 00:07:25,520 background 214 00:07:30,070 --> 00:07:28,479 in this material and a history with it 215 00:07:31,749 --> 00:07:30,080 if i was just a husband driving down the 216 00:07:33,430 --> 00:07:31,759 road with his wife he would probably 217 00:07:34,790 --> 00:07:33,440 think his wife had some sort of medical 218 00:07:35,830 --> 00:07:34,800 episode and should probably go to the 219 00:07:38,070 --> 00:07:35,840 hospital 220 00:07:39,110 --> 00:07:38,080 and yet while this particular thing 221 00:07:41,510 --> 00:07:39,120 hasn't happened before 222 00:07:43,270 --> 00:07:41,520 strange things like this happen to us 223 00:07:44,869 --> 00:07:43,280 fairly frequently 224 00:07:47,189 --> 00:07:44,879 sometimes months go by when nothing 225 00:07:48,950 --> 00:07:47,199 happens sometimes as much as almost a 226 00:07:49,510 --> 00:07:48,960 year but eventually something happens 227 00:07:51,670 --> 00:07:49,520 again 228 00:07:53,430 --> 00:07:51,680 that is beyond the norm that is beyond 229 00:07:57,510 --> 00:07:53,440 what conventional science has 230 00:08:01,589 --> 00:07:59,430 now anyone who's been in this topic for 231 00:08:02,869 --> 00:08:01,599 any length of time and studied ufos in 232 00:08:06,230 --> 00:08:02,879 the phenomenon 233 00:08:08,469 --> 00:08:06,240 quickly learns that the et hypothesis 234 00:08:09,909 --> 00:08:08,479 and objects like black triangles and 235 00:08:13,270 --> 00:08:09,919 flying saucers 236 00:08:15,270 --> 00:08:13,280 quickly become only part of the story 237 00:08:16,309 --> 00:08:15,280 people frequently see other types of 238 00:08:18,390 --> 00:08:16,319 objects almost 239 00:08:20,309 --> 00:08:18,400 every shape you can imagine and 240 00:08:22,230 --> 00:08:20,319 sometimes these shapes seem to change 241 00:08:24,390 --> 00:08:22,240 right before people's eyes 242 00:08:25,990 --> 00:08:24,400 these objects if they are indeed objects 243 00:08:26,550 --> 00:08:26,000 and we certainly have some evidence to 244 00:08:29,430 --> 00:08:26,560 just they 245 00:08:31,589 --> 00:08:29,440 are including soil samples and perhaps 246 00:08:33,990 --> 00:08:31,599 even recovered debris 247 00:08:36,310 --> 00:08:34,000 these objects will change shape 248 00:08:37,750 --> 00:08:36,320 sometimes one solid object will divide 249 00:08:40,149 --> 00:08:37,760 into multiple objects 250 00:08:41,350 --> 00:08:40,159 and then later reform together and when 251 00:08:43,990 --> 00:08:41,360 people see these objects 252 00:08:44,790 --> 00:08:44,000 sometimes up close there appear to be no 253 00:08:47,990 --> 00:08:44,800 rivets 254 00:08:49,590 --> 00:08:48,000 or typical bolts fasteners holding them 255 00:08:51,590 --> 00:08:49,600 together like we would consider objects 256 00:08:53,910 --> 00:08:51,600 would be held together 257 00:08:55,670 --> 00:08:53,920 now in regards to the strangeness of 258 00:08:56,630 --> 00:08:55,680 objects and how they change shape in 259 00:08:59,430 --> 00:08:56,640 front of our eyes 260 00:09:00,150 --> 00:08:59,440 and things like that tim r schwartz 261 00:09:03,509 --> 00:09:00,160 offers an 262 00:09:05,509 --> 00:09:03,519 interesting hypothesis he says quote 263 00:09:07,509 --> 00:09:05,519 these apparent vehicles that seem to 264 00:09:09,829 --> 00:09:07,519 change shape while in the air 265 00:09:11,750 --> 00:09:09,839 may not be spacecraft at all but 266 00:09:13,829 --> 00:09:11,760 cross-sections of four-dimensional 267 00:09:15,590 --> 00:09:13,839 objects that bisect familiar 268 00:09:18,710 --> 00:09:15,600 three-dimensional reality 269 00:09:21,509 --> 00:09:18,720 unquote and just as a reminder 270 00:09:22,150 --> 00:09:21,519 your brain and my brain is hardwired to 271 00:09:24,710 --> 00:09:22,160 present an 272 00:09:25,829 --> 00:09:24,720 image to you in 3d even if the 273 00:09:28,470 --> 00:09:25,839 originating source 274 00:09:31,590 --> 00:09:28,480 is more complex than that as with the 275 00:09:33,829 --> 00:09:31,600 optical illusions we've all seen defy us 276 00:09:38,710 --> 00:09:33,839 you shouldn't conclude that quote what 277 00:09:43,030 --> 00:09:40,389 now regarding these objects that are 278 00:09:44,790 --> 00:09:43,040 seen while some of the haziness around 279 00:09:46,870 --> 00:09:44,800 some of the photos and videos 280 00:09:48,870 --> 00:09:46,880 may be an artifact of objects that are 281 00:09:52,150 --> 00:09:48,880 transitioning between dimensions 282 00:09:54,070 --> 00:09:52,160 as tim just suggested it does appear to 283 00:09:56,230 --> 00:09:54,080 be the case that the phenomenon or the 284 00:09:59,269 --> 00:09:56,240 intelligence behind the phenomenon 285 00:10:01,509 --> 00:09:59,279 perhaps plural is often stealthy 286 00:10:02,710 --> 00:10:01,519 and resists being captured in a clearly 287 00:10:05,030 --> 00:10:02,720 documented way 288 00:10:07,030 --> 00:10:05,040 that we could show to the world and 289 00:10:09,350 --> 00:10:07,040 could if it wanted to you would think 290 00:10:11,269 --> 00:10:09,360 now while there are some caveats to this 291 00:10:12,389 --> 00:10:11,279 partial materialization the ethereal 292 00:10:15,829 --> 00:10:12,399 nature of some of these 293 00:10:18,949 --> 00:10:15,839 etc this still seems to be the truth 294 00:10:20,069 --> 00:10:18,959 the question is why and we simply don't 295 00:10:22,069 --> 00:10:20,079 know 296 00:10:23,750 --> 00:10:22,079 and even more importantly while we can 297 00:10:26,389 --> 00:10:23,760 make guesses as to why 298 00:10:28,230 --> 00:10:26,399 and to the underlying intent we don't 299 00:10:30,230 --> 00:10:28,240 know what we don't know 300 00:10:33,269 --> 00:10:30,240 we are simply not accustomed to not 301 00:10:35,269 --> 00:10:33,279 being the apex intelligence on the block 302 00:10:37,590 --> 00:10:35,279 and not only are we not that apex 303 00:10:40,389 --> 00:10:37,600 intelligence but we likely haven't been 304 00:10:45,350 --> 00:10:40,399 for the entire history of our species 305 00:10:48,470 --> 00:10:47,350 one could look at this like we are 306 00:10:50,630 --> 00:10:48,480 sitting on a house 307 00:10:52,470 --> 00:10:50,640 on top of a hill and we are accustomed 308 00:10:56,069 --> 00:10:52,480 to be able to look in the valley 309 00:10:57,670 --> 00:10:56,079 and see everything understand everything 310 00:10:59,829 --> 00:10:57,680 and that that's always been the case for 311 00:11:01,110 --> 00:10:59,839 us and it's the case for our ancestors 312 00:11:02,310 --> 00:11:01,120 and that it will be the case for our 313 00:11:04,310 --> 00:11:02,320 descendants 314 00:11:05,590 --> 00:11:04,320 but with the phenomenon we suddenly 315 00:11:09,509 --> 00:11:05,600 realize that above us 316 00:11:11,030 --> 00:11:09,519 is a hazy sky and above that 317 00:11:12,949 --> 00:11:11,040 all sorts of realities that we don't 318 00:11:14,150 --> 00:11:12,959 fully understand and that sometimes the 319 00:11:16,470 --> 00:11:14,160 clouds part 320 00:11:18,389 --> 00:11:16,480 and things appear in the sky above us 321 00:11:20,069 --> 00:11:18,399 things that we don't understand 322 00:11:21,430 --> 00:11:20,079 that's what it's like that's where we 323 00:11:24,150 --> 00:11:21,440 are 324 00:11:26,389 --> 00:11:24,160 now some people will say that while the 325 00:11:28,870 --> 00:11:26,399 phenomenon does seem to be stealthy shy 326 00:11:30,069 --> 00:11:28,880 and obscure there may be reasons for 327 00:11:32,069 --> 00:11:30,079 this 328 00:11:34,150 --> 00:11:32,079 the prime directive idea that we find in 329 00:11:36,630 --> 00:11:34,160 star trek is quite common 330 00:11:37,190 --> 00:11:36,640 this is the notion that there's an 331 00:11:39,430 --> 00:11:37,200 agreement 332 00:11:40,870 --> 00:11:39,440 amongst alien species not to interfere 333 00:11:43,110 --> 00:11:40,880 with a local planet 334 00:11:45,030 --> 00:11:43,120 and its intelligence because it would 335 00:11:47,110 --> 00:11:45,040 impact its development 336 00:11:48,870 --> 00:11:47,120 this is possible and there are even 337 00:11:50,710 --> 00:11:48,880 people who said that uh 338 00:11:51,910 --> 00:11:50,720 the others have shared those messages 339 00:11:53,990 --> 00:11:51,920 with them 340 00:11:55,910 --> 00:11:54,000 but again we're estimating we're 341 00:11:57,350 --> 00:11:55,920 guessing we don't know this for sure and 342 00:12:02,550 --> 00:11:57,360 we just need to accept that 343 00:12:06,949 --> 00:12:05,030 now one can really not consider the 344 00:12:08,629 --> 00:12:06,959 perplexing nature of the phenomenon and 345 00:12:10,629 --> 00:12:08,639 what it is to study it 346 00:12:13,509 --> 00:12:10,639 without talking about the ongoing issue 347 00:12:16,310 --> 00:12:13,519 of human hubris 348 00:12:18,389 --> 00:12:16,320 the truth is we long assume that our 349 00:12:20,150 --> 00:12:18,399 model of reality should be sufficient 350 00:12:22,550 --> 00:12:20,160 that whatever we encounter should be 351 00:12:24,550 --> 00:12:22,560 accounted for in that model 352 00:12:25,590 --> 00:12:24,560 now strangely we laugh at the 353 00:12:27,829 --> 00:12:25,600 ridiculousness 354 00:12:29,829 --> 00:12:27,839 of people in previous centuries who 355 00:12:31,750 --> 00:12:29,839 seemed to sincerely believe 356 00:12:34,629 --> 00:12:31,760 they were on the cusp of understanding 357 00:12:36,949 --> 00:12:34,639 all that is the totality 358 00:12:38,230 --> 00:12:36,959 and yet we still do this repeating the 359 00:12:40,550 --> 00:12:38,240 same fundamental 360 00:12:43,190 --> 00:12:40,560 error of hubris as if we think we've 361 00:12:45,190 --> 00:12:43,200 reached the finish line 362 00:12:46,790 --> 00:12:45,200 and this is demonstrated in how we talk 363 00:12:50,470 --> 00:12:46,800 about the future 364 00:12:51,590 --> 00:12:50,480 descendants we imagine them being more 365 00:12:53,670 --> 00:12:51,600 capable than us 366 00:12:56,310 --> 00:12:53,680 in terms of the development of a more 367 00:12:58,550 --> 00:12:56,320 sophisticated technology for instance 368 00:13:00,629 --> 00:12:58,560 but we don't usually acknowledge that 369 00:13:02,870 --> 00:13:00,639 the very way they see reality 370 00:13:04,870 --> 00:13:02,880 may very well be different even at a 371 00:13:06,949 --> 00:13:04,880 pretty fundamental level 372 00:13:08,790 --> 00:13:06,959 and yet that is most likely the more 373 00:13:09,590 --> 00:13:08,800 accurate portrayal of our descendants 374 00:13:11,590 --> 00:13:09,600 lives 375 00:13:16,710 --> 00:13:11,600 it's the exact portrayal of us in 376 00:13:20,870 --> 00:13:18,710 now one can really not consider the 377 00:13:22,949 --> 00:13:20,880 study of the phenomenon 378 00:13:24,069 --> 00:13:22,959 without considering the issue of states 379 00:13:27,030 --> 00:13:24,079 of consciousness 380 00:13:28,550 --> 00:13:27,040 this seems to be central and it has been 381 00:13:30,710 --> 00:13:28,560 suggested by some 382 00:13:32,790 --> 00:13:30,720 that perhaps the others are aiming for a 383 00:13:34,710 --> 00:13:32,800 change on a subconscious level 384 00:13:37,670 --> 00:13:34,720 and that this partially explains for the 385 00:13:39,430 --> 00:13:37,680 absurdity we see on the surface 386 00:13:40,949 --> 00:13:39,440 we have very little understanding about 387 00:13:42,470 --> 00:13:40,959 this ourselves though 388 00:13:44,550 --> 00:13:42,480 we have very little understanding about 389 00:13:45,829 --> 00:13:44,560 our own subconscious and how that works 390 00:13:48,069 --> 00:13:45,839 even the notion of a collective 391 00:13:49,350 --> 00:13:48,079 subconscious is more theoretical than 392 00:13:52,230 --> 00:13:49,360 anything else 393 00:13:54,310 --> 00:13:52,240 again we don't know what we don't know 394 00:13:56,790 --> 00:13:54,320 they might know more about this about us 395 00:13:58,069 --> 00:13:56,800 than we do ourselves perhaps by a long 396 00:14:00,230 --> 00:13:58,079 shot 397 00:14:01,910 --> 00:14:00,240 and from their point of view it may be 398 00:14:07,189 --> 00:14:01,920 that this is the most effective way to 399 00:14:11,590 --> 00:14:09,350 in our society we've long considered the 400 00:14:13,509 --> 00:14:11,600 notion of subliminal advertising 401 00:14:15,430 --> 00:14:13,519 subliminal messaging 402 00:14:17,990 --> 00:14:15,440 the advertising industry would love to 403 00:14:21,910 --> 00:14:18,000 get its minds wrapped around this fully 404 00:14:23,509 --> 00:14:21,920 the idea is that a subject is changed 405 00:14:25,590 --> 00:14:23,519 in ways that they don't understand 406 00:14:27,829 --> 00:14:25,600 they're not even perceiving that the 407 00:14:30,150 --> 00:14:27,839 changes happened or how it occurred 408 00:14:32,389 --> 00:14:30,160 you can imagine this might explain the 409 00:14:35,110 --> 00:14:32,399 stealthiness of the phenomenon 410 00:14:36,629 --> 00:14:35,120 and yet it may be a more effective way 411 00:14:41,350 --> 00:14:36,639 to bring about change 412 00:14:44,389 --> 00:14:43,189 now that's one interesting hypothesis 413 00:14:47,269 --> 00:14:44,399 anyway one that's 414 00:14:49,110 --> 00:14:47,279 worth considering and pursuing now 415 00:14:51,269 --> 00:14:49,120 speaking of states of consciousness 416 00:14:52,150 --> 00:14:51,279 we should also talk about our human 417 00:14:54,550 --> 00:14:52,160 tendency to 418 00:14:57,189 --> 00:14:54,560 judge certain states of consciousness as 419 00:14:59,269 --> 00:14:57,199 being superior to others 420 00:15:00,710 --> 00:14:59,279 my suspicion is that we are still very 421 00:15:03,590 --> 00:15:00,720 limited and i suspect 422 00:15:05,590 --> 00:15:03,600 misdirected by our focus on only certain 423 00:15:07,670 --> 00:15:05,600 forms of consciousness 424 00:15:09,030 --> 00:15:07,680 did it quote unquote really happen or 425 00:15:11,670 --> 00:15:09,040 was it quote just 426 00:15:13,189 --> 00:15:11,680 a dream while these are interesting 427 00:15:15,350 --> 00:15:13,199 distinctions to draw 428 00:15:17,110 --> 00:15:15,360 it should not be a major issue in terms 429 00:15:17,670 --> 00:15:17,120 of judging the veracity of these 430 00:15:19,350 --> 00:15:17,680 incidents 431 00:15:21,189 --> 00:15:19,360 and these accounts on behalf of 432 00:15:23,110 --> 00:15:21,199 experiencers 433 00:15:24,790 --> 00:15:23,120 as we learned last week from the free 434 00:15:26,389 --> 00:15:24,800 experiences study 435 00:15:28,790 --> 00:15:26,399 the majority of people who have had 436 00:15:30,310 --> 00:15:28,800 experiences with non-human intelligence 437 00:15:35,509 --> 00:15:30,320 encountered it through an inner 438 00:15:40,069 --> 00:15:36,949 let's also bring the issue of the 439 00:15:42,069 --> 00:15:40,079 hypnagogic state to the conversation 440 00:15:44,710 --> 00:15:42,079 this is often described as the trippy 441 00:15:46,710 --> 00:15:44,720 state between waking and sleeping 442 00:15:48,150 --> 00:15:46,720 now it occurs to me that this state may 443 00:15:51,269 --> 00:15:48,160 only appear trippy 444 00:15:54,150 --> 00:15:51,279 quote unquote compared to waking states 445 00:15:55,030 --> 00:15:54,160 because in this state our usual filters 446 00:15:58,069 --> 00:15:55,040 are partially 447 00:15:59,670 --> 00:15:58,079 offline but what would that mean 448 00:16:01,189 --> 00:15:59,680 that would mean that we're capable of 449 00:16:04,790 --> 00:16:01,199 perceiving not less but 450 00:16:06,870 --> 00:16:04,800 more of the quote unquote real world 451 00:16:08,629 --> 00:16:06,880 and when it comes to dreams and what 452 00:16:10,550 --> 00:16:08,639 happens in them and some people just 453 00:16:13,269 --> 00:16:10,560 consider them throwaways 454 00:16:15,110 --> 00:16:13,279 consider the work done by dean raiden in 455 00:16:15,829 --> 00:16:15,120 his book the conscious universe he 456 00:16:18,230 --> 00:16:15,839 discusses 457 00:16:20,470 --> 00:16:18,240 laboratory experiments were done where 458 00:16:22,550 --> 00:16:20,480 human beings were able to send messages 459 00:16:25,430 --> 00:16:22,560 to other human beings while they were 460 00:16:27,670 --> 00:16:25,440 in an rem dream state and that human 461 00:16:30,230 --> 00:16:27,680 being could consciously recall 462 00:16:32,470 --> 00:16:30,240 and pick out a picture pertaining to 463 00:16:34,389 --> 00:16:32,480 that message the next morning 464 00:16:35,749 --> 00:16:34,399 this is fascinating and this tells us 465 00:16:38,230 --> 00:16:35,759 that this dream state 466 00:16:42,150 --> 00:16:38,240 is much more important than we sometimes 467 00:16:45,350 --> 00:16:43,590 we would be remiss to have this 468 00:16:47,509 --> 00:16:45,360 conversation without 469 00:16:48,629 --> 00:16:47,519 also discussing the altered state 470 00:16:51,910 --> 00:16:48,639 brought about 471 00:16:54,949 --> 00:16:51,920 by substances such as dmt now for those 472 00:16:56,550 --> 00:16:54,959 of you not familiar dmt is a natural 473 00:16:59,030 --> 00:16:56,560 compound in the world it's actually in 474 00:17:01,269 --> 00:16:59,040 our brain as well produced by our brain 475 00:17:02,470 --> 00:17:01,279 dmt is the active ingredient in 476 00:17:05,110 --> 00:17:02,480 ayahuasca 477 00:17:07,510 --> 00:17:05,120 which is what is used in shamanic 478 00:17:09,189 --> 00:17:07,520 journeys and has been for generations 479 00:17:11,189 --> 00:17:09,199 and whether it's shamans from 480 00:17:14,230 --> 00:17:11,199 generations past or people 481 00:17:15,909 --> 00:17:14,240 using dmt or ayahuasca today 482 00:17:18,150 --> 00:17:15,919 what's interesting is people often 483 00:17:20,870 --> 00:17:18,160 account or recount 484 00:17:21,669 --> 00:17:20,880 situations where they encounter other 485 00:17:24,630 --> 00:17:21,679 entities 486 00:17:25,829 --> 00:17:24,640 other seeming beings sometimes human 487 00:17:28,950 --> 00:17:25,839 beings sometimes 488 00:17:29,669 --> 00:17:28,960 aliens sometimes animal creatures again 489 00:17:31,669 --> 00:17:29,679 some of the 490 00:17:33,510 --> 00:17:31,679 strangeness that we discussed last week 491 00:17:35,510 --> 00:17:33,520 in the free study 492 00:17:37,430 --> 00:17:35,520 what this suggests might be happening is 493 00:17:39,110 --> 00:17:37,440 again is about our filters 494 00:17:41,190 --> 00:17:39,120 that our filters that our conscious 495 00:17:43,909 --> 00:17:41,200 brain has evolved over time 496 00:17:44,789 --> 00:17:43,919 are temporarily offline or are reduced 497 00:17:46,789 --> 00:17:44,799 in these 498 00:17:48,390 --> 00:17:46,799 states these hallucinogenic journeys or 499 00:17:50,310 --> 00:17:48,400 these shamanic journeys 500 00:17:51,990 --> 00:17:50,320 and in that state we are actually 501 00:17:55,350 --> 00:17:52,000 exposed to not less 502 00:17:57,830 --> 00:17:55,360 not alter but more of reality 503 00:18:00,950 --> 00:17:57,840 this means this could be the real world 504 00:18:03,669 --> 00:18:00,960 the greater reality all around us 505 00:18:04,230 --> 00:18:03,679 of course what this brings up is the 506 00:18:07,350 --> 00:18:04,240 question of 507 00:18:09,190 --> 00:18:07,360 ontology what is ontology it is a 508 00:18:10,310 --> 00:18:09,200 philosophical study of the nature of 509 00:18:13,510 --> 00:18:10,320 being becoming 510 00:18:14,950 --> 00:18:13,520 existence or reality ontology comes from 511 00:18:17,830 --> 00:18:14,960 two greek words 512 00:18:18,950 --> 00:18:17,840 on which means being and logia which 513 00:18:21,510 --> 00:18:18,960 means study 514 00:18:22,789 --> 00:18:21,520 so ontology is the study of being alive 515 00:18:24,870 --> 00:18:22,799 and existing 516 00:18:25,990 --> 00:18:24,880 and pertaining to the phenomenon the 517 00:18:28,470 --> 00:18:26,000 question at hand is 518 00:18:32,630 --> 00:18:28,480 what is the ontological nature of these 519 00:18:36,390 --> 00:18:34,710 now what's interesting about these cases 520 00:18:37,510 --> 00:18:36,400 where people interact with these 521 00:18:39,350 --> 00:18:37,520 entities 522 00:18:41,909 --> 00:18:39,360 it seems to be the case that people will 523 00:18:43,990 --> 00:18:41,919 have persistent ongoing sometimes 524 00:18:46,549 --> 00:18:44,000 lifelong experiences with the same 525 00:18:48,150 --> 00:18:46,559 entities sherry wilde who we discussed 526 00:18:50,150 --> 00:18:48,160 earlier for instance 527 00:18:52,950 --> 00:18:50,160 has come to realize over time that she's 528 00:18:54,950 --> 00:18:52,960 had an ongoing relationship with some of 529 00:18:58,310 --> 00:18:54,960 these beings these others 530 00:19:00,710 --> 00:18:58,320 for most of her life and whether it's 531 00:19:02,710 --> 00:19:00,720 people who have encountered aliens or 532 00:19:04,789 --> 00:19:02,720 beings they 533 00:19:06,390 --> 00:19:04,799 perceive as aliens or whether it's 534 00:19:07,909 --> 00:19:06,400 someone having a shamanic journey or 535 00:19:08,789 --> 00:19:07,919 some other kind of hallucinogenic 536 00:19:10,870 --> 00:19:08,799 journey 537 00:19:13,029 --> 00:19:10,880 people seem to be able to meet the same 538 00:19:13,669 --> 00:19:13,039 beings through different dreams or 539 00:19:16,789 --> 00:19:13,679 different 540 00:19:18,950 --> 00:19:16,799 uh trips and it seems to be the case 541 00:19:20,390 --> 00:19:18,960 even that different people will meet the 542 00:19:22,470 --> 00:19:20,400 same creatures 543 00:19:24,630 --> 00:19:22,480 the machine elves is an example of 544 00:19:25,190 --> 00:19:24,640 beings who different people who have 545 00:19:28,150 --> 00:19:25,200 been 546 00:19:29,350 --> 00:19:28,160 using ayahuasca or dmt by itself have 547 00:19:30,789 --> 00:19:29,360 encountered 548 00:19:33,669 --> 00:19:30,799 so what does this suggest about the 549 00:19:36,470 --> 00:19:33,679 ontological nature of these entities 550 00:19:37,350 --> 00:19:36,480 it suggests that they have a primary 551 00:19:39,350 --> 00:19:37,360 existence 552 00:19:40,870 --> 00:19:39,360 that they are not dependent on us they 553 00:19:42,470 --> 00:19:40,880 are not merely projections of our 554 00:19:45,270 --> 00:19:42,480 subconscious 555 00:19:45,750 --> 00:19:45,280 and if this is the case this suggests 556 00:19:47,990 --> 00:19:45,760 that 557 00:19:51,990 --> 00:19:48,000 our current paradigm of reality is 558 00:19:53,830 --> 00:19:52,000 sorely lacking 559 00:19:56,390 --> 00:19:53,840 now for those of you not quite ready yet 560 00:19:58,310 --> 00:19:56,400 to consider how dmt and ayahuasca factor 561 00:20:00,630 --> 00:19:58,320 into this conversation 562 00:20:01,990 --> 00:20:00,640 let me bring to the equation meditation 563 00:20:04,549 --> 00:20:02,000 which is becoming more and more 564 00:20:06,310 --> 00:20:04,559 commonplace in our society 565 00:20:08,549 --> 00:20:06,320 the idea is that some forms of 566 00:20:10,710 --> 00:20:08,559 meditation can open us up to these kinds 567 00:20:12,789 --> 00:20:10,720 of experiences these greater experiences 568 00:20:15,350 --> 00:20:12,799 of a greater reality 569 00:20:17,270 --> 00:20:15,360 the idea is that as we drop our body 570 00:20:19,990 --> 00:20:17,280 mind we drop out of our usual 571 00:20:21,990 --> 00:20:20,000 waking conscious awareness we become 572 00:20:24,870 --> 00:20:22,000 aware of a greater reality 573 00:20:25,669 --> 00:20:24,880 a stream of consciousness a flow where 574 00:20:28,230 --> 00:20:25,679 we 575 00:20:30,549 --> 00:20:28,240 experience and sometimes interact with 576 00:20:33,990 --> 00:20:30,559 other forms of intelligence 577 00:20:35,909 --> 00:20:34,000 now again what this points us to is 578 00:20:37,909 --> 00:20:35,919 this factor of the filters that we 579 00:20:40,149 --> 00:20:37,919 usually have in our waking days 580 00:20:41,990 --> 00:20:40,159 in our in our daily experience the way 581 00:20:44,230 --> 00:20:42,000 we walk through the world 582 00:20:45,750 --> 00:20:44,240 and we should remember these filters 583 00:20:49,430 --> 00:20:45,760 have a very important 584 00:20:51,510 --> 00:20:49,440 in fact essential evolutionary history 585 00:20:53,750 --> 00:20:51,520 for our ancestors walking through the 586 00:20:55,190 --> 00:20:53,760 jungles they needed to have strong 587 00:20:57,350 --> 00:20:55,200 filters that 588 00:20:58,310 --> 00:20:57,360 filtered out a lot of information a lot 589 00:21:00,549 --> 00:20:58,320 of stimuli 590 00:21:03,830 --> 00:21:00,559 so that they could focus on finding food 591 00:21:06,630 --> 00:21:03,840 and not being eaten by predators 592 00:21:07,350 --> 00:21:06,640 that's how we've evolved to block out 593 00:21:09,430 --> 00:21:07,360 vast 594 00:21:10,789 --> 00:21:09,440 aspects of reality of the greater 595 00:21:13,510 --> 00:21:10,799 reality 596 00:21:14,950 --> 00:21:13,520 what all of these experiences are are 597 00:21:17,110 --> 00:21:14,960 suggesting whether it's 598 00:21:18,230 --> 00:21:17,120 experiences with entities connected to 599 00:21:20,470 --> 00:21:18,240 the phenomenon 600 00:21:21,430 --> 00:21:20,480 or shamanic journeys or through 601 00:21:23,909 --> 00:21:21,440 meditation 602 00:21:24,710 --> 00:21:23,919 is that there is a much larger reality 603 00:21:30,390 --> 00:21:24,720 at play 604 00:21:32,950 --> 00:21:30,400 one that we can have access to 605 00:21:33,990 --> 00:21:32,960 let's bring this back home at the outset 606 00:21:36,470 --> 00:21:34,000 of this podcast 607 00:21:38,710 --> 00:21:36,480 i asked how can we make headway when 608 00:21:41,430 --> 00:21:38,720 studying non-human intelligences 609 00:21:43,350 --> 00:21:41,440 apparently able to manipulate perception 610 00:21:46,070 --> 00:21:43,360 consciousness and even the supposed 611 00:21:48,310 --> 00:21:46,080 conscience of the natural world 612 00:21:49,990 --> 00:21:48,320 well first of all i would point us to 613 00:21:52,149 --> 00:21:50,000 experiencers 614 00:21:54,390 --> 00:21:52,159 let's listen to them let's pay attention 615 00:21:56,230 --> 00:21:54,400 to them let's look for commonality 616 00:21:58,390 --> 00:21:56,240 amongst them 617 00:21:59,669 --> 00:21:58,400 and whether the changes that occur in 618 00:22:01,510 --> 00:21:59,679 them happen 619 00:22:03,110 --> 00:22:01,520 through subconscious means or more 620 00:22:04,950 --> 00:22:03,120 conscious messaging 621 00:22:06,789 --> 00:22:04,960 we will still see a difference and we 622 00:22:08,870 --> 00:22:06,799 can make note of it and when we pay 623 00:22:11,510 --> 00:22:08,880 attention to the changes that happen 624 00:22:12,630 --> 00:22:11,520 persistently and over time amongst 625 00:22:14,870 --> 00:22:12,640 different people 626 00:22:19,270 --> 00:22:14,880 it gives us some sense of what the 627 00:22:22,870 --> 00:22:21,190 now at the beginning of this podcast i 628 00:22:25,190 --> 00:22:22,880 also said we would discuss 629 00:22:27,430 --> 00:22:25,200 both some of the stubborn challenges as 630 00:22:29,909 --> 00:22:27,440 well as some of the unique opportunities 631 00:22:32,789 --> 00:22:29,919 that exist when studying an enigmatic 632 00:22:35,909 --> 00:22:32,799 topic such as ufos and the phenomenon 633 00:22:37,029 --> 00:22:35,919 in some ways this goes hand in hand and 634 00:22:38,789 --> 00:22:37,039 why 635 00:22:40,390 --> 00:22:38,799 because if we are hoping to understand 636 00:22:42,149 --> 00:22:40,400 this through our current model of 637 00:22:45,350 --> 00:22:42,159 reality through the current 638 00:22:45,909 --> 00:22:45,360 mainstream paradigm then we are going to 639 00:22:48,950 --> 00:22:45,919 fail 640 00:22:51,350 --> 00:22:48,960 and we will suffer endless frustration 641 00:22:53,990 --> 00:22:51,360 but i look at it differently i see it as 642 00:22:55,909 --> 00:22:54,000 an invitation to a larger reality 643 00:22:58,390 --> 00:22:55,919 that our questions in some ways are 644 00:22:59,669 --> 00:22:58,400 superseded by the invitation to this 645 00:23:03,110 --> 00:22:59,679 greater experience 646 00:23:05,750 --> 00:23:03,120 of a much larger more profound much more 647 00:23:07,270 --> 00:23:05,760 populous reality where we can have 648 00:23:09,830 --> 00:23:07,280 interactions with 649 00:23:10,710 --> 00:23:09,840 other beings other entities some that 650 00:23:13,750 --> 00:23:10,720 are equals 651 00:23:16,149 --> 00:23:13,760 some perhaps that are far above us that 652 00:23:18,470 --> 00:23:16,159 is an invitation that i think is worth 653 00:23:20,149 --> 00:23:18,480 accepting 654 00:23:22,310 --> 00:23:20,159 so that brings us to a close of this 655 00:23:23,990 --> 00:23:22,320 edition of the podcast 656 00:23:25,990 -->
