1 00:00:02,830 --> 00:00:08,629 [Music] 2 00:00:11,430 --> 00:00:09,350 hello 3 00:00:13,589 --> 00:00:11,440 and welcome to the sixth edition of the 4 00:00:17,430 --> 00:00:13,599 point of convergence podcast 5 00:00:19,510 --> 00:00:17,440 as always i am your host exo academian 6 00:00:21,349 --> 00:00:19,520 here on the point of convergence podcast 7 00:00:22,390 --> 00:00:21,359 we have been discussing how various 8 00:00:24,710 --> 00:00:22,400 categories 9 00:00:25,830 --> 00:00:24,720 of what's often referred to as high 10 00:00:29,349 --> 00:00:25,840 strangeness 11 00:00:30,070 --> 00:00:29,359 seem to overlap many of the same people 12 00:00:32,950 --> 00:00:30,080 who experience 13 00:00:34,950 --> 00:00:32,960 something like say precognition that is 14 00:00:37,750 --> 00:00:34,960 knowing something ahead of time 15 00:00:39,750 --> 00:00:37,760 have also seen a ufo in the sky or have 16 00:00:43,030 --> 00:00:39,760 sensed mysterious presences 17 00:00:46,630 --> 00:00:43,040 nearby apparently just beyond perception 18 00:00:49,350 --> 00:00:46,640 of our visual field remote viewing 19 00:00:51,510 --> 00:00:49,360 known more commonly as clairvoyance is 20 00:00:53,590 --> 00:00:51,520 another of these categories 21 00:00:54,790 --> 00:00:53,600 and like other contact modalities we've 22 00:00:57,110 --> 00:00:54,800 discussed 23 00:00:59,830 --> 00:00:57,120 entangled consciousness seems to be at 24 00:01:01,670 --> 00:00:59,840 the root of the experience 25 00:01:03,990 --> 00:01:01,680 one aspect that sets remote viewing 26 00:01:06,149 --> 00:01:04,000 apart from some of these other phenomena 27 00:01:07,590 --> 00:01:06,159 however is the fact that it has been 28 00:01:10,830 --> 00:01:07,600 studied tested 29 00:01:13,429 --> 00:01:10,840 and proven under rigorous laboratory 30 00:01:13,830 --> 00:01:13,439 conditions while some may dismiss some 31 00:01:16,270 --> 00:01:13,840 of the 32 00:01:17,910 --> 00:01:16,280 other categories of high strangeness as 33 00:01:20,310 --> 00:01:17,920 unverifiable 34 00:01:22,149 --> 00:01:20,320 from an objective point of view remote 35 00:01:27,270 --> 00:01:22,159 viewing stands up to that test 36 00:01:29,670 --> 00:01:27,280 and passes it with flying colors 37 00:01:31,990 --> 00:01:29,680 now as i mentioned earlier remote 38 00:01:33,590 --> 00:01:32,000 viewing was formerly known more commonly 39 00:01:36,230 --> 00:01:33,600 as clairvoyance 40 00:01:37,910 --> 00:01:36,240 remote viewing itself is a specific kind 41 00:01:39,990 --> 00:01:37,920 of demonstrating clairvoyance and 42 00:01:42,389 --> 00:01:40,000 testing it 43 00:01:44,710 --> 00:01:42,399 now clairvoyance is a french term which 44 00:01:47,590 --> 00:01:44,720 combines clair which means clear 45 00:01:50,069 --> 00:01:47,600 and voyance which means clear vision 46 00:01:52,069 --> 00:01:50,079 clairvoyance is the claimed ability to 47 00:01:55,030 --> 00:01:52,079 gain information about an object 48 00:01:55,670 --> 00:01:55,040 person location or physical event 49 00:01:57,510 --> 00:01:55,680 through 50 00:01:58,709 --> 00:01:57,520 some perception that is considered extra 51 00:02:00,630 --> 00:01:58,719 sensory 52 00:02:02,789 --> 00:02:00,640 any person who is claimed to have such 53 00:02:04,149 --> 00:02:02,799 an ability is said accordingly to be a 54 00:02:07,109 --> 00:02:04,159 clairvoyant 55 00:02:07,990 --> 00:02:07,119 that is one who sees clearly now the 56 00:02:10,630 --> 00:02:08,000 more specific 57 00:02:12,470 --> 00:02:10,640 term remote viewing comes from a system 58 00:02:13,589 --> 00:02:12,480 developed and run by the united states 59 00:02:16,790 --> 00:02:13,599 military 60 00:02:18,790 --> 00:02:16,800 cia and stanford research institute that 61 00:02:19,589 --> 00:02:18,800 used psychic ability as a means to 62 00:02:22,869 --> 00:02:19,599 retrieve 63 00:02:23,830 --> 00:02:22,879 non-local information now remote viewing 64 00:02:27,110 --> 00:02:23,840 is the practice 65 00:02:29,990 --> 00:02:27,120 of gathering impressions about unseen 66 00:02:31,190 --> 00:02:30,000 and non-local targets using extra 67 00:02:34,390 --> 00:02:31,200 sensory perception 68 00:02:35,589 --> 00:02:34,400 that is esp or seeing quote unquote with 69 00:02:38,070 --> 00:02:35,599 the mind 70 00:02:40,949 --> 00:02:38,080 and the actual term remote viewing was 71 00:02:42,070 --> 00:02:40,959 coined in the 1970s by russell targ and 72 00:02:45,190 --> 00:02:42,080 hal put off 73 00:02:46,710 --> 00:02:45,200 while working as researchers at sri that 74 00:02:50,869 --> 00:02:46,720 is the stanford research 75 00:02:53,030 --> 00:02:50,879 institute so let's talk a little bit 76 00:02:54,790 --> 00:02:53,040 about how remote viewing works 77 00:02:57,670 --> 00:02:54,800 how did russell tarr going to help put 78 00:03:00,070 --> 00:02:57,680 out put this together 79 00:03:00,710 --> 00:03:00,080 basically a remote viewer is given a 80 00:03:01,990 --> 00:03:00,720 target 81 00:03:03,830 --> 00:03:02,000 in the form of something like 82 00:03:05,110 --> 00:03:03,840 coordinates that is latitude and 83 00:03:07,430 --> 00:03:05,120 longitude 84 00:03:08,390 --> 00:03:07,440 which the remote viewer will use to find 85 00:03:10,710 --> 00:03:08,400 the target 86 00:03:12,149 --> 00:03:10,720 and then give back information often 87 00:03:13,270 --> 00:03:12,159 referred to in these circles as 88 00:03:16,149 --> 00:03:13,280 intelligence 89 00:03:16,710 --> 00:03:16,159 about the target the target can be an 90 00:03:19,750 --> 00:03:16,720 object 91 00:03:20,869 --> 00:03:19,760 event person or location that is hidden 92 00:03:22,790 --> 00:03:20,879 visually 93 00:03:24,550 --> 00:03:22,800 meaning not visible nor directly 94 00:03:26,470 --> 00:03:24,560 perceivable in any way 95 00:03:27,589 --> 00:03:26,480 by any of the traditional senses of the 96 00:03:30,470 --> 00:03:27,599 body 97 00:03:32,149 --> 00:03:30,480 and this is astounding so listen closely 98 00:03:35,190 --> 00:03:32,159 the target can be located 99 00:03:37,350 --> 00:03:35,200 from anywhere and anytime in the 100 00:03:40,149 --> 00:03:37,360 universe 101 00:03:41,910 --> 00:03:40,159 furthermore this is truly a blind target 102 00:03:42,710 --> 00:03:41,920 because the remote viewer is given 103 00:03:44,630 --> 00:03:42,720 absolutely 104 00:03:47,110 --> 00:03:44,640 no additional information about the 105 00:03:50,470 --> 00:03:47,120 target all they have to go by 106 00:03:53,670 --> 00:03:52,149 so that gives you some idea of what 107 00:03:56,149 --> 00:03:53,680 remote viewing is 108 00:03:58,070 --> 00:03:56,159 how these studies were conducted how 109 00:04:02,149 --> 00:03:58,080 intelligence was gathered 110 00:04:05,030 --> 00:04:02,159 for cia and other intelligence services 111 00:04:06,630 --> 00:04:05,040 but how does one do it well let's hear 112 00:04:09,350 --> 00:04:06,640 from joseph mcmonagle 113 00:04:10,470 --> 00:04:09,360 who is a superstar remote viewer who is 114 00:04:13,350 --> 00:04:10,480 involved at the 115 00:04:13,990 --> 00:04:13,360 the research at sri and is responsible 116 00:04:17,509 --> 00:04:14,000 for some of the 117 00:04:19,509 --> 00:04:17,519 most amazing astonishing uh results when 118 00:04:22,310 --> 00:04:19,519 it comes to remote viewing 119 00:04:23,990 --> 00:04:22,320 of remote viewing he says in my opinion 120 00:04:25,030 --> 00:04:24,000 learning to remote view is more a 121 00:04:27,510 --> 00:04:25,040 combination of 122 00:04:28,070 --> 00:04:27,520 unlearning and learning on the 123 00:04:30,790 --> 00:04:28,080 unlearning 124 00:04:31,830 --> 00:04:30,800 side we find ourselves trying to forget 125 00:04:33,830 --> 00:04:31,840 all of the rules 126 00:04:34,950 --> 00:04:33,840 and directions we've inherited from our 127 00:04:37,430 --> 00:04:34,960 peer groups 128 00:04:38,710 --> 00:04:37,440 schools teachers and yes even our 129 00:04:40,390 --> 00:04:38,720 parents 130 00:04:42,150 --> 00:04:40,400 many of the things we were taught about 131 00:04:45,189 --> 00:04:42,160 reality have no basis 132 00:04:46,629 --> 00:04:45,199 in fact so i look at one half of the 133 00:04:48,469 --> 00:04:46,639 problem as getting rid 134 00:04:50,310 --> 00:04:48,479 of the clutter in our minds and how 135 00:04:52,310 --> 00:04:50,320 things are supposed to be 136 00:04:54,710 --> 00:04:52,320 and replacing it with the things we 137 00:04:57,030 --> 00:04:54,720 eventually come to know 138 00:04:57,749 --> 00:04:57,040 part two is very similar to learning a 139 00:05:00,230 --> 00:04:57,759 language 140 00:05:01,189 --> 00:05:00,240 or learning to play a musical instrument 141 00:05:03,510 --> 00:05:01,199 except that 142 00:05:05,110 --> 00:05:03,520 instead of french or german it is the 143 00:05:07,590 --> 00:05:05,120 language of the mind 144 00:05:11,110 --> 00:05:07,600 instead of musical notes it is the dance 145 00:05:12,870 --> 00:05:11,120 of mental perception 146 00:05:14,390 --> 00:05:12,880 again that was a quote from joseph 147 00:05:16,230 --> 00:05:14,400 mcmonagle 148 00:05:18,950 --> 00:05:16,240 now speaking of remote viewing 149 00:05:20,870 --> 00:05:18,960 superstars ingo swann who of course is 150 00:05:22,710 --> 00:05:20,880 one of the most sci capable people the 151 00:05:24,390 --> 00:05:22,720 world has ever known 152 00:05:25,749 --> 00:05:24,400 said regarding remote viewing the 153 00:05:28,790 --> 00:05:25,759 biggest enemies 154 00:05:30,870 --> 00:05:28,800 are memory and imagination now this is 155 00:05:32,710 --> 00:05:30,880 interesting and it somewhat flies in the 156 00:05:34,469 --> 00:05:32,720 face of what many people assume to be 157 00:05:36,550 --> 00:05:34,479 intuitive when you think about this 158 00:05:38,310 --> 00:05:36,560 topic 159 00:05:39,749 --> 00:05:38,320 now i am certainly not one of these 160 00:05:42,390 --> 00:05:39,759 superstars 161 00:05:42,790 --> 00:05:42,400 but i have tried some psywork on my own 162 00:05:46,550 --> 00:05:42,800 and 163 00:05:48,870 --> 00:05:46,560 to be saying 164 00:05:50,150 --> 00:05:48,880 is absolutely true again even though 165 00:05:51,909 --> 00:05:50,160 it's counter-intuitive 166 00:05:53,830 --> 00:05:51,919 which just goes back to what joseph 167 00:05:55,670 --> 00:05:53,840 mcmonagle said in terms of what we have 168 00:05:58,629 --> 00:05:55,680 to unlearn 169 00:06:01,189 --> 00:05:58,639 when it comes to finding a target or or 170 00:06:03,350 --> 00:06:01,199 getting any kind of psychic information 171 00:06:04,390 --> 00:06:03,360 memory and imagination actually get in 172 00:06:06,150 --> 00:06:04,400 the way 173 00:06:08,469 --> 00:06:06,160 that's why remote viewing sometimes is 174 00:06:11,029 --> 00:06:08,479 so effective according to some of these 175 00:06:12,469 --> 00:06:11,039 uh star remote viewers because they know 176 00:06:17,350 --> 00:06:12,479 nothing about the target 177 00:06:22,710 --> 00:06:20,390 but again with any kind of psi work when 178 00:06:24,550 --> 00:06:22,720 it tends to work 179 00:06:26,150 --> 00:06:24,560 you notice that the information comes in 180 00:06:28,230 --> 00:06:26,160 a way that's different 181 00:06:30,309 --> 00:06:28,240 that feels different than memory and 182 00:06:32,390 --> 00:06:30,319 imagination 183 00:06:34,230 --> 00:06:32,400 again this is somewhat counter-intuitive 184 00:06:36,390 --> 00:06:34,240 to people who haven't tried it 185 00:06:38,070 --> 00:06:36,400 but when it works and you've done it a 186 00:06:39,749 --> 00:06:38,080 few times and seen it work 187 00:06:42,070 --> 00:06:39,759 and compare it to the times that didn't 188 00:06:42,950 --> 00:06:42,080 work you start noticing subtle 189 00:06:45,749 --> 00:06:42,960 differences in 190 00:06:46,469 --> 00:06:45,759 how the information arrives it tends to 191 00:06:49,430 --> 00:06:46,479 not be 192 00:06:50,230 --> 00:06:49,440 dreamt up or sort of embellished from 193 00:06:52,550 --> 00:06:50,240 some memory 194 00:06:55,110 --> 00:06:52,560 or some imagination you had in the past 195 00:06:58,390 --> 00:06:55,120 it just comes in as straight information 196 00:06:59,990 --> 00:06:58,400 pop it just drops in and it's it is 197 00:07:04,870 --> 00:07:00,000 quite different than 198 00:07:09,110 --> 00:07:07,189 that isn't to say that it just drops in 199 00:07:10,950 --> 00:07:09,120 as complete information 200 00:07:12,230 --> 00:07:10,960 three-dimensional containing all the 201 00:07:14,629 --> 00:07:12,240 data you would want 202 00:07:15,990 --> 00:07:14,639 sometimes the information comes in in 203 00:07:19,029 --> 00:07:16,000 bits and pieces and it's much 204 00:07:20,790 --> 00:07:19,039 more subtle and sometimes symbolic 205 00:07:23,350 --> 00:07:20,800 part of the process of becoming a better 206 00:07:27,270 --> 00:07:23,360 remote viewer involves 207 00:07:32,150 --> 00:07:29,909 now again i can imagine right now all 208 00:07:34,629 --> 00:07:32,160 the skeptics all the cynics going 209 00:07:36,150 --> 00:07:34,639 come on this sounds ridiculous what does 210 00:07:39,110 --> 00:07:36,160 this have to do with science 211 00:07:40,390 --> 00:07:39,120 and the real world and to those people i 212 00:07:43,350 --> 00:07:40,400 just remind them 213 00:07:44,390 --> 00:07:43,360 that this is a program that ran not for 214 00:07:46,150 --> 00:07:44,400 one year 215 00:07:48,150 --> 00:07:46,160 didn't get stretched to two years or 216 00:07:51,350 --> 00:07:48,160 three years or five 217 00:07:54,230 --> 00:07:51,360 it ran for 20 years it was a 218 00:07:55,430 --> 00:07:54,240 fully funded program funded by united 219 00:07:58,950 --> 00:07:55,440 states military 220 00:08:02,950 --> 00:07:58,960 intelligence institutions like the cia 221 00:08:04,790 --> 00:08:02,960 for 20 years in a row 222 00:08:06,230 --> 00:08:04,800 now you might think to yourself and 223 00:08:08,309 --> 00:08:06,240 understandably 224 00:08:09,510 --> 00:08:08,319 uh isn't the military a strange 225 00:08:11,909 --> 00:08:09,520 organization 226 00:08:13,830 --> 00:08:11,919 to be doing psychic research don't these 227 00:08:16,629 --> 00:08:13,840 seem like strange bedfellows 228 00:08:18,150 --> 00:08:16,639 remote viewing and military intelligence 229 00:08:20,469 --> 00:08:18,160 well you'd be right 230 00:08:21,990 --> 00:08:20,479 and historically the reason this 231 00:08:23,749 --> 00:08:22,000 happened is because 232 00:08:25,270 --> 00:08:23,759 don't forget this was at the height of 233 00:08:28,070 --> 00:08:25,280 the cold war 234 00:08:30,869 --> 00:08:28,080 and over time u.s intelligence services 235 00:08:33,190 --> 00:08:30,879 began to suspect and have some evidence 236 00:08:35,350 --> 00:08:33,200 that the soviet union was using these 237 00:08:36,870 --> 00:08:35,360 very methods to gain information about 238 00:08:39,829 --> 00:08:36,880 u.s secrets 239 00:08:40,949 --> 00:08:39,839 and in fact part of the mission for this 240 00:08:43,430 --> 00:08:40,959 remote viewing group 241 00:08:43,990 --> 00:08:43,440 was to find out whether the u.s could 242 00:08:47,269 --> 00:08:44,000 protect 243 00:08:49,110 --> 00:08:47,279 information how much was available to 244 00:08:52,710 --> 00:08:49,120 the other side what could they actually 245 00:08:55,990 --> 00:08:54,949 and interestingly in terms of the answer 246 00:08:58,070 --> 00:08:56,000 to that question 247 00:08:59,750 --> 00:08:58,080 what can you hide what can you shield in 248 00:09:01,590 --> 00:08:59,760 terms of information 249 00:09:03,829 --> 00:09:01,600 uh intelligence that needs to be top 250 00:09:07,269 --> 00:09:03,839 secret well the answer was 251 00:09:10,310 --> 00:09:07,279 nothing nada apparently nothing 252 00:09:13,829 --> 00:09:10,320 in space or time period 253 00:09:14,389 --> 00:09:13,839 is shieldable from processes like remote 254 00:09:16,710 --> 00:09:14,399 viewing 255 00:09:18,630 --> 00:09:16,720 again that's an astonishing finding and 256 00:09:20,070 --> 00:09:18,640 this is the finding from the remote 257 00:09:22,710 --> 00:09:20,080 viewing group 258 00:09:24,070 --> 00:09:22,720 run by hal put off russell targ and 259 00:09:28,070 --> 00:09:24,080 those gentlemen 260 00:09:32,310 --> 00:09:30,070 now you might ask yourself if this 261 00:09:34,310 --> 00:09:32,320 program ran for 20 years 262 00:09:35,670 --> 00:09:34,320 if the government concluded that this 263 00:09:37,350 --> 00:09:35,680 actually worked 264 00:09:38,949 --> 00:09:37,360 how did they demonstrate this how was 265 00:09:40,949 --> 00:09:38,959 this proven 266 00:09:42,870 --> 00:09:40,959 how did they know that these the 267 00:09:44,630 --> 00:09:42,880 information produced about these targets 268 00:09:47,350 --> 00:09:44,640 by the remote viewers was actually 269 00:09:49,590 --> 00:09:47,360 accurate because remember it's hidden to 270 00:09:51,269 --> 00:09:49,600 the actual viewers themselves 271 00:09:53,190 --> 00:09:51,279 well the way things work in intelligence 272 00:09:55,910 --> 00:09:53,200 services is you confirm 273 00:09:57,750 --> 00:09:55,920 through other sources again because 274 00:09:59,350 --> 00:09:57,760 sometimes lives are on the line 275 00:10:01,190 --> 00:09:59,360 it's very important that you can trust 276 00:10:04,230 --> 00:10:01,200 your information and so they would 277 00:10:07,110 --> 00:10:04,240 have other means of testing these 278 00:10:07,509 --> 00:10:07,120 sources these results and they would 279 00:10:08,949 --> 00:10:07,519 find 280 00:10:12,790 --> 00:10:08,959 time and time again for them to be 281 00:10:17,110 --> 00:10:15,030 and please understand this was the only 282 00:10:17,990 --> 00:10:17,120 reason this program was renewed year 283 00:10:20,710 --> 00:10:18,000 after year after 284 00:10:22,310 --> 00:10:20,720 year because there were plenty of people 285 00:10:23,990 --> 00:10:22,320 in the military which 286 00:10:26,069 --> 00:10:24,000 again historically traditionally is a 287 00:10:27,670 --> 00:10:26,079 pretty conservative organization 288 00:10:29,110 --> 00:10:27,680 there are plenty of people who wanted to 289 00:10:30,550 --> 00:10:29,120 see this cancelled 290 00:10:32,710 --> 00:10:30,560 who from the get-go thought it was 291 00:10:35,030 --> 00:10:32,720 ridiculous almost an embarrassment for 292 00:10:36,310 --> 00:10:35,040 the military services 293 00:10:38,150 --> 00:10:36,320 there were some that objected for 294 00:10:41,430 --> 00:10:38,160 religious means that 295 00:10:43,190 --> 00:10:41,440 raises its head in government circles 296 00:10:46,069 --> 00:10:43,200 more often than you might realize even 297 00:10:47,750 --> 00:10:46,079 lou elizondo has pointed to that 298 00:10:50,230 --> 00:10:47,760 what's fascinating about this particular 299 00:10:52,310 --> 00:10:50,240 project the remote viewing project 300 00:10:54,949 --> 00:10:52,320 is that the results were tested and 301 00:10:57,670 --> 00:10:54,959 verified time and time again 302 00:10:59,190 --> 00:10:57,680 that is why even though many wanted to 303 00:11:01,829 --> 00:10:59,200 have this program cancelled they 304 00:11:05,110 --> 00:11:01,839 couldn't it was just too demonstrably 305 00:11:07,269 --> 00:11:05,120 objectively effective time and time 306 00:11:09,829 --> 00:11:07,279 again 307 00:11:10,550 --> 00:11:09,839 so let's talk about one of the successes 308 00:11:12,710 --> 00:11:10,560 and here 309 00:11:14,389 --> 00:11:12,720 we'll talk about joseph mcmonagle again 310 00:11:16,710 --> 00:11:14,399 he had many successes 311 00:11:18,389 --> 00:11:16,720 was one of the star remote viewers for 312 00:11:20,550 --> 00:11:18,399 the military 313 00:11:22,069 --> 00:11:20,560 one time i think the way it goes he was 314 00:11:23,590 --> 00:11:22,079 approached with certain coordinates 315 00:11:26,069 --> 00:11:23,600 again he doesn't know anything about the 316 00:11:27,910 --> 00:11:26,079 coordinates it could be anywhere 317 00:11:29,670 --> 00:11:27,920 i think the military had some sense that 318 00:11:31,350 --> 00:11:29,680 these coordinates corresponded to a 319 00:11:32,150 --> 00:11:31,360 place where something top secret was 320 00:11:34,710 --> 00:11:32,160 happening 321 00:11:35,670 --> 00:11:34,720 inside the soviet union but they had no 322 00:11:38,949 --> 00:11:35,680 access to that 323 00:11:41,269 --> 00:11:38,959 at that point so joseph began to get a 324 00:11:44,550 --> 00:11:41,279 sense to practice the protocols 325 00:11:46,069 --> 00:11:44,560 and he then drew out this strange crane 326 00:11:48,790 --> 00:11:46,079 looking contraption a really 327 00:11:50,790 --> 00:11:48,800 large crane again he would actually even 328 00:11:53,190 --> 00:11:50,800 include perspective 329 00:11:55,030 --> 00:11:53,200 in the drawings he would make you'd see 330 00:11:56,629 --> 00:11:55,040 a person standing next to the crane so 331 00:11:57,750 --> 00:11:56,639 you knew how big the crane was in 332 00:11:59,910 --> 00:11:57,760 comparison 333 00:12:00,870 --> 00:11:59,920 this very strange looking contraption 334 00:12:02,470 --> 00:12:00,880 and honestly 335 00:12:03,670 --> 00:12:02,480 military intelligence didn't know what 336 00:12:05,750 --> 00:12:03,680 to do with it because it didn't 337 00:12:09,670 --> 00:12:05,760 correspond with any known 338 00:12:11,990 --> 00:12:09,680 hardware on the soviet side much later 339 00:12:12,790 --> 00:12:12,000 this was actually confirmed as accurate 340 00:12:15,350 --> 00:12:12,800 intelligence 341 00:12:17,350 --> 00:12:15,360 and photos were later published of this 342 00:12:19,110 --> 00:12:17,360 very crane-like contraption 343 00:12:20,790 --> 00:12:19,120 and it's remarkably similar you can 344 00:12:23,670 --> 00:12:20,800 actually go online and find 345 00:12:25,350 --> 00:12:23,680 examples of both mcmonagle's drawings 346 00:12:27,990 --> 00:12:25,360 and the eventual photographs 347 00:12:31,350 --> 00:12:28,000 and you'll be shocked and surprised at 348 00:12:35,030 --> 00:12:33,590 now if you think mcmonagle's a success 349 00:12:37,590 --> 00:12:35,040 when it came to 350 00:12:39,110 --> 00:12:37,600 finding targets hidden in deep inside 351 00:12:40,230 --> 00:12:39,120 the soviet union in the middle of the 352 00:12:41,670 --> 00:12:40,240 cold war 353 00:12:43,269 --> 00:12:41,680 that's just the beginning you'll be 354 00:12:46,069 --> 00:12:43,279 amazed with what we have to share 355 00:12:46,949 --> 00:12:46,079 later but first let's talk about the 356 00:12:49,430 --> 00:12:46,959 process 357 00:12:51,350 --> 00:12:49,440 how does remote viewing actually work 358 00:12:53,910 --> 00:12:51,360 paul h smith is another 359 00:12:56,470 --> 00:12:53,920 star remote viewer who worked for 360 00:12:59,590 --> 00:12:56,480 military intelligence for a long time 361 00:13:02,870 --> 00:12:59,600 on the same program and he discussed 362 00:13:03,509 --> 00:13:02,880 uh six different phases that the remote 363 00:13:06,550 --> 00:13:03,519 viewing 364 00:13:08,470 --> 00:13:06,560 process goes through through each remote 365 00:13:11,269 --> 00:13:08,480 viewing experiment 366 00:13:12,550 --> 00:13:11,279 number one is a more gestalt kind of 367 00:13:14,629 --> 00:13:12,560 phase this is just 368 00:13:16,230 --> 00:13:14,639 gathering really general impressions 369 00:13:17,269 --> 00:13:16,240 okay so imagine that they've been given 370 00:13:19,350 --> 00:13:17,279 coordinates 371 00:13:21,190 --> 00:13:19,360 at this first stage all they're doing is 372 00:13:24,710 --> 00:13:21,200 gathering really general impressions 373 00:13:25,590 --> 00:13:24,720 gestalt right number two is sensory 374 00:13:29,509 --> 00:13:25,600 information 375 00:13:32,550 --> 00:13:29,519 that is sensations textures temperature 376 00:13:34,069 --> 00:13:32,560 tastes sounds that kind of thing now 377 00:13:36,629 --> 00:13:34,079 again what's fascinating here 378 00:13:38,470 --> 00:13:36,639 is that his actual bodily senses are not 379 00:13:40,870 --> 00:13:38,480 picking up any of this data 380 00:13:41,829 --> 00:13:40,880 right this is somehow being proc 381 00:13:44,710 --> 00:13:41,839 processed by his 382 00:13:45,590 --> 00:13:44,720 brain remotely but that's what stage two 383 00:13:48,150 --> 00:13:45,600 is about 384 00:13:48,710 --> 00:13:48,160 sensations textures temperature taste 385 00:13:51,750 --> 00:13:48,720 sounds 386 00:13:54,790 --> 00:13:51,760 that kind of thing stage three 387 00:13:57,750 --> 00:13:54,800 uh comes down to dimensionality 388 00:13:58,310 --> 00:13:57,760 by that i mean how tall is the target 389 00:14:00,870 --> 00:13:58,320 wide 390 00:14:03,350 --> 00:14:00,880 dense hollow and at this point you might 391 00:14:05,750 --> 00:14:03,360 start sketching aspects 392 00:14:08,710 --> 00:14:05,760 of the target and it's interesting paul 393 00:14:11,189 --> 00:14:08,720 smith here has talked about sometimes 394 00:14:13,189 --> 00:14:11,199 the remote viewers would basically start 395 00:14:15,189 --> 00:14:13,199 doing a kind of automatic drawing 396 00:14:17,189 --> 00:14:15,199 at this point you've heard about 397 00:14:18,949 --> 00:14:17,199 automatic writing i'm guessing 398 00:14:20,790 --> 00:14:18,959 that's where someone just feels like 399 00:14:22,790 --> 00:14:20,800 they're channeling some other source 400 00:14:24,470 --> 00:14:22,800 and they just start writing information 401 00:14:26,790 --> 00:14:24,480 they don't even understand 402 00:14:28,710 --> 00:14:26,800 well paul smith says it's similar uh 403 00:14:29,910 --> 00:14:28,720 with remote viewing especially in this 404 00:14:32,310 --> 00:14:29,920 early 405 00:14:33,110 --> 00:14:32,320 stage three here of the process 406 00:14:34,949 --> 00:14:33,120 sometimes just 407 00:14:37,350 --> 00:14:34,959 automatic drawing would happen 408 00:14:39,030 --> 00:14:37,360 unconsciously you make certain movements 409 00:14:42,790 --> 00:14:39,040 on the page with a pencil 410 00:14:43,350 --> 00:14:42,800 you're not sure why then comes stage 411 00:14:46,470 --> 00:14:43,360 four 412 00:14:48,150 --> 00:14:46,480 this is abstract terminology let's say 413 00:14:49,030 --> 00:14:48,160 if the target was the eiffel tower for 414 00:14:50,629 --> 00:14:49,040 instance again 415 00:14:51,910 --> 00:14:50,639 the the remote viewer doesn't know this 416 00:14:53,110 --> 00:14:51,920 they don't know it's in france they 417 00:14:54,710 --> 00:14:53,120 don't know it's a 418 00:14:56,310 --> 00:14:54,720 tourist attraction they know nothing 419 00:14:59,350 --> 00:14:56,320 right they just have coordinates 420 00:15:00,710 --> 00:14:59,360 uh as an example so in this abstract 421 00:15:02,870 --> 00:15:00,720 terminology phase 422 00:15:03,990 --> 00:15:02,880 the uh remote viewer might start jotting 423 00:15:07,590 --> 00:15:04,000 down terms like 424 00:15:10,710 --> 00:15:07,600 tourism monumental ambiance 425 00:15:12,389 --> 00:15:10,720 that kind of thing number five 426 00:15:14,790 --> 00:15:12,399 is whether it would extract embedded 427 00:15:17,990 --> 00:15:14,800 information this is more uh 428 00:15:19,350 --> 00:15:18,000 detail things like camera postcards 429 00:15:21,110 --> 00:15:19,360 that sort of more micro level 430 00:15:21,670 --> 00:15:21,120 information again this isn't a case 431 00:15:23,350 --> 00:15:21,680 where it's 432 00:15:27,350 --> 00:15:23,360 the target was for instance the eiffel 433 00:15:30,389 --> 00:15:27,360 tower and then finally in stage six 434 00:15:32,150 --> 00:15:30,399 uh and this uh paul smith recalls close 435 00:15:35,269 --> 00:15:32,160 encounters of the third kind 436 00:15:35,990 --> 00:15:35,279 where um you know they're making shapes 437 00:15:39,189 --> 00:15:36,000 out of 438 00:15:40,710 --> 00:15:39,199 potato mashed potato this is similar 439 00:15:42,790 --> 00:15:40,720 here you're making a three-dimensional 440 00:15:44,790 --> 00:15:42,800 model the remote viewer 441 00:15:46,470 --> 00:15:44,800 does this uses clay or something like 442 00:15:47,990 --> 00:15:46,480 that to kind of shape a 443 00:15:49,509 --> 00:15:48,000 three-dimensional model of what they're 444 00:15:51,430 --> 00:15:49,519 seeing of the target 445 00:15:53,430 --> 00:15:51,440 and this hopefully frees up additional 446 00:15:56,150 --> 00:15:53,440 information information 447 00:15:56,710 --> 00:15:56,160 because the kinesthetic involvement can 448 00:15:58,870 --> 00:15:56,720 help to 449 00:16:01,829 --> 00:15:58,880 trigger additional uh rising of 450 00:16:06,230 --> 00:16:04,310 now i mentioned we would get back to 451 00:16:07,030 --> 00:16:06,240 another example of an amazing result 452 00:16:09,749 --> 00:16:07,040 that joseph 453 00:16:11,590 --> 00:16:09,759 mcmonagle came up with and this one is 454 00:16:13,110 --> 00:16:11,600 so astonishing it still blows my mind 455 00:16:15,269 --> 00:16:13,120 whenever i think about it 456 00:16:17,670 --> 00:16:15,279 and there's still videos online you can 457 00:16:19,990 --> 00:16:17,680 find on youtube and other sources 458 00:16:22,629 --> 00:16:20,000 where mcmonagle is giving a presentation 459 00:16:25,189 --> 00:16:22,639 that includes photos 460 00:16:26,310 --> 00:16:25,199 let me set the scene one day he is given 461 00:16:29,990 --> 00:16:26,320 certain coordinates 462 00:16:31,990 --> 00:16:30,000 again never knows where on earth that is 463 00:16:33,910 --> 00:16:32,000 he starts getting impressions and it's 464 00:16:35,509 --> 00:16:33,920 strange because um 465 00:16:37,269 --> 00:16:35,519 he starts getting an impression of a 466 00:16:40,230 --> 00:16:37,279 pyramid-like structure 467 00:16:42,629 --> 00:16:40,240 you know definitely intelligently formed 468 00:16:45,590 --> 00:16:42,639 this is not a natural rock structure 469 00:16:47,430 --> 00:16:45,600 but it was pyramidal in shape and so he 470 00:16:48,949 --> 00:16:47,440 actually assumed perhaps he was seeing 471 00:16:51,829 --> 00:16:48,959 something 472 00:16:53,829 --> 00:16:51,839 in egypt when he thought pyramids right 473 00:16:56,310 --> 00:16:53,839 what's fascinating is later on 474 00:16:56,949 --> 00:16:56,320 he finds out that the target is not 475 00:17:00,949 --> 00:16:56,959 earth at 476 00:17:04,150 --> 00:17:03,590 what's even more fascinating is that he 477 00:17:06,390 --> 00:17:04,160 can go 478 00:17:07,669 --> 00:17:06,400 backwards and forwards in time even on 479 00:17:10,549 --> 00:17:07,679 that remote target 480 00:17:12,390 --> 00:17:10,559 on the planet mars because at first he 481 00:17:15,750 --> 00:17:12,400 sees sort of destruction 482 00:17:16,870 --> 00:17:15,760 um senses that a lost civilization is 483 00:17:20,309 --> 00:17:16,880 there that's what he's seeing 484 00:17:21,429 --> 00:17:20,319 evidence of so they ask him to go back 485 00:17:23,829 --> 00:17:21,439 in time 486 00:17:25,110 --> 00:17:23,839 and remote view the same coordinates 487 00:17:27,590 --> 00:17:25,120 this time he sees 488 00:17:28,789 --> 00:17:27,600 an earlier stage in the civilization and 489 00:17:32,070 --> 00:17:28,799 he actually sees 490 00:17:33,990 --> 00:17:32,080 beings very tall beings at least 491 00:17:35,510 --> 00:17:34,000 two three times the height of human 492 00:17:36,630 --> 00:17:35,520 beings today 493 00:17:38,870 --> 00:17:36,640 and you can actually see in this 494 00:17:41,350 --> 00:17:38,880 presentation he draws a picture of 495 00:17:43,190 --> 00:17:41,360 this martian like creature and a human 496 00:17:46,150 --> 00:17:43,200 being and you can see it's definitely 497 00:17:48,950 --> 00:17:46,160 two three times the height uh what's 498 00:17:51,590 --> 00:17:48,960 fascinating is mcmonagle goes on to say 499 00:17:52,070 --> 00:17:51,600 that these people are waiting hoping 500 00:17:54,549 --> 00:17:52,080 because 501 00:17:55,990 --> 00:17:54,559 a uh a team has been sent out to try and 502 00:17:57,909 --> 00:17:56,000 find a new planet 503 00:18:00,230 --> 00:17:57,919 because mars has gone through some sort 504 00:18:02,070 --> 00:18:00,240 of atmospheric desolation 505 00:18:03,590 --> 00:18:02,080 i think he talks about passing through 506 00:18:04,470 --> 00:18:03,600 the tail of a comet or something like 507 00:18:06,630 --> 00:18:04,480 that 508 00:18:08,150 --> 00:18:06,640 and so the atmosphere has basically been 509 00:18:10,230 --> 00:18:08,160 stripped from the planet and of course 510 00:18:12,070 --> 00:18:10,240 what's fascinating about that is 511 00:18:13,510 --> 00:18:12,080 we have some evidence from elsewhere 512 00:18:14,870 --> 00:18:13,520 that this is actually what happened to 513 00:18:17,270 --> 00:18:14,880 mars that at one point 514 00:18:18,789 --> 00:18:17,280 mars may have been a flourishing green 515 00:18:20,630 --> 00:18:18,799 planet full of life 516 00:18:22,470 --> 00:18:20,640 uh and at some point the atmosphere was 517 00:18:25,190 --> 00:18:22,480 stripped and that's why it's the sort of 518 00:18:27,270 --> 00:18:25,200 desolate world it is today again what's 519 00:18:28,150 --> 00:18:27,280 fascinating is from mcmonagle's point of 520 00:18:29,990 --> 00:18:28,160 view 521 00:18:31,350 --> 00:18:30,000 this search team that went out looking 522 00:18:34,470 --> 00:18:31,360 for a new home 523 00:18:36,230 --> 00:18:34,480 actually found earth that is to say he 524 00:18:37,430 --> 00:18:36,240 doesn't think there are martians and 525 00:18:40,549 --> 00:18:37,440 earthlings he thinks 526 00:18:44,310 --> 00:18:40,559 we are the descendants of those martians 527 00:18:48,150 --> 00:18:45,909 now before we discuss some of the 528 00:18:50,230 --> 00:18:48,160 implications of this kind of 529 00:18:51,350 --> 00:18:50,240 information which again is truly 530 00:18:53,909 --> 00:18:51,360 astonishing 531 00:18:56,150 --> 00:18:53,919 to the nth degree let's talk a little 532 00:18:57,909 --> 00:18:56,160 bit more about joseph mcmonagle 533 00:18:59,190 --> 00:18:57,919 how does someone develop this kind of 534 00:19:01,430 --> 00:18:59,200 talent 535 00:19:03,110 --> 00:19:01,440 well interesting when it comes to our 536 00:19:06,470 --> 00:19:03,120 whole point of convergence 537 00:19:07,830 --> 00:19:06,480 aspect first off mcmonagle talks about 538 00:19:10,390 --> 00:19:07,840 growing up in a really 539 00:19:12,470 --> 00:19:10,400 sort of poor and kind of dangerous area 540 00:19:14,789 --> 00:19:12,480 of miami i think it was 541 00:19:15,510 --> 00:19:14,799 and he realizes later on only looking 542 00:19:17,990 --> 00:19:15,520 back 543 00:19:19,669 --> 00:19:18,000 that he kind of out of necessity develop 544 00:19:21,190 --> 00:19:19,679 these kind of survival skills these 545 00:19:23,750 --> 00:19:21,200 intuitive survival skills 546 00:19:24,549 --> 00:19:23,760 on the streets just for his own personal 547 00:19:26,070 --> 00:19:24,559 safety 548 00:19:28,070 --> 00:19:26,080 again didn't really think anything of it 549 00:19:29,510 --> 00:19:28,080 at the time but he thinks the first 550 00:19:32,630 --> 00:19:29,520 seeds of his skills 551 00:19:36,070 --> 00:19:34,549 and this makes sense right even from an 552 00:19:38,070 --> 00:19:36,080 evolutionary point of view from a 553 00:19:39,830 --> 00:19:38,080 mainstream science point of view 554 00:19:42,710 --> 00:19:39,840 this is how these kind of traits are 555 00:19:43,270 --> 00:19:42,720 developed by necessity it's a survival 556 00:19:45,669 --> 00:19:43,280 skill 557 00:19:46,310 --> 00:19:45,679 and the implication of course is that we 558 00:19:47,830 --> 00:19:46,320 all have 559 00:19:49,990 --> 00:19:47,840 some of these dormant skills they're 560 00:19:51,669 --> 00:19:50,000 just latent skills that we haven't used 561 00:19:53,270 --> 00:19:51,679 very often 562 00:19:55,110 --> 00:19:53,280 now again speaking of the point of 563 00:19:55,750 --> 00:19:55,120 convergence speaking about how these 564 00:19:58,549 --> 00:19:55,760 various 565 00:19:59,350 --> 00:19:58,559 aspects of high strangeness often occur 566 00:20:01,990 --> 00:19:59,360 together 567 00:20:02,390 --> 00:20:02,000 overlap and whatnot what you'll also 568 00:20:04,230 --> 00:20:02,400 find 569 00:20:05,669 --> 00:20:04,240 fascinating when you study joseph 570 00:20:07,590 --> 00:20:05,679 mcmonagle's story 571 00:20:10,470 --> 00:20:07,600 and i'm currently reading one of his his 572 00:20:13,029 --> 00:20:10,480 books uh titled mind trek 573 00:20:14,230 --> 00:20:13,039 he recounts having a near-death 574 00:20:16,149 --> 00:20:14,240 experience 575 00:20:18,070 --> 00:20:16,159 when i read it i was like of course this 576 00:20:19,750 --> 00:20:18,080 makes total sense once again we have 577 00:20:22,789 --> 00:20:19,760 these overlapping 578 00:20:24,230 --> 00:20:22,799 categories of high strangeness he has 579 00:20:26,870 --> 00:20:24,240 your sort of typical 580 00:20:28,789 --> 00:20:26,880 completely mind-blowing uh near-death 581 00:20:30,310 --> 00:20:28,799 experience where he sees himself as an 582 00:20:32,549 --> 00:20:30,320 eternal being 583 00:20:34,310 --> 00:20:32,559 realizes everything that was so small 584 00:20:36,630 --> 00:20:34,320 and insignificant about the way he 585 00:20:39,590 --> 00:20:36,640 considered reality beforehand 586 00:20:40,549 --> 00:20:39,600 he comes back a very changed man but 587 00:20:43,990 --> 00:20:40,559 it's not just that 588 00:20:45,909 --> 00:20:44,000 changed he reports 589 00:20:48,390 --> 00:20:45,919 even being able to read the mind of the 590 00:20:52,710 --> 00:20:48,400 nurses in the next room over from the 591 00:20:57,110 --> 00:20:54,149 now of course when he shared this 592 00:20:59,750 --> 00:20:57,120 perspective with the doctors nearby 593 00:21:01,510 --> 00:20:59,760 he was given some strange glances 594 00:21:02,470 --> 00:21:01,520 perhaps they considered brain damage at 595 00:21:04,630 --> 00:21:02,480 that point 596 00:21:06,149 --> 00:21:04,640 so he learned very quickly especially 597 00:21:07,750 --> 00:21:06,159 the military which again is a very 598 00:21:10,390 --> 00:21:07,760 conservative organization 599 00:21:11,750 --> 00:21:10,400 traditionally to keep it on the down low 600 00:21:14,390 --> 00:21:11,760 he would not discuss 601 00:21:16,470 --> 00:21:14,400 his near-death experience nor talk about 602 00:21:18,230 --> 00:21:16,480 anything to do with psychic matters 603 00:21:20,310 --> 00:21:18,240 so you can imagine his surprise when 604 00:21:21,190 --> 00:21:20,320 later on he was approached to be a part 605 00:21:23,669 --> 00:21:21,200 of this 606 00:21:25,510 --> 00:21:23,679 a project looking into remote viewing 607 00:21:26,710 --> 00:21:25,520 again this project was known by a number 608 00:21:29,190 --> 00:21:26,720 of names 609 00:21:32,710 --> 00:21:29,200 sun streak grill flame and perhaps most 610 00:21:36,070 --> 00:21:34,630 now before we move on to discussing some 611 00:21:38,230 --> 00:21:36,080 of the implications of this 612 00:21:41,110 --> 00:21:38,240 and some of the overlap that we notice 613 00:21:42,630 --> 00:21:41,120 between phenomena like remote viewing 614 00:21:45,590 --> 00:21:42,640 and other things like near-death 615 00:21:46,950 --> 00:21:45,600 experiences ufo intelligence contact and 616 00:21:48,950 --> 00:21:46,960 that kind of thing 617 00:21:51,350 --> 00:21:48,960 let's discuss a couple more items 618 00:21:54,789 --> 00:21:51,360 regarding this remote viewing program 619 00:21:57,190 --> 00:21:54,799 as it pertains to ufos directly 620 00:21:59,110 --> 00:21:57,200 one time as the story goes pat price who 621 00:22:01,029 --> 00:21:59,120 is yet again another superstar remote 622 00:22:04,149 --> 00:22:01,039 viewer for the program 623 00:22:06,310 --> 00:22:04,159 came to hal put off and said hey 624 00:22:08,470 --> 00:22:06,320 by the way in my free time i was kind of 625 00:22:11,350 --> 00:22:08,480 bored yes this is the true story 626 00:22:13,830 --> 00:22:11,360 so i decided to remote view um whether 627 00:22:15,909 --> 00:22:13,840 or not there could be 628 00:22:16,870 --> 00:22:15,919 alien bases on the earth and apparently 629 00:22:19,510 --> 00:22:16,880 he found 630 00:22:21,350 --> 00:22:19,520 four of them and he dutifully passed 631 00:22:23,669 --> 00:22:21,360 this on to hal put off 632 00:22:25,270 --> 00:22:23,679 and again as part of their arrangement 633 00:22:26,070 --> 00:22:25,280 their contract with the military this 634 00:22:28,470 --> 00:22:26,080 information was 635 00:22:29,750 --> 00:22:28,480 passed on to the military and apparently 636 00:22:31,590 --> 00:22:29,760 i don't know the full story but there 637 00:22:33,270 --> 00:22:31,600 were some interesting overlaps 638 00:22:35,830 --> 00:22:33,280 with some other intelligence when it 639 00:22:38,549 --> 00:22:35,840 comes to uh the data passed on 640 00:22:40,230 --> 00:22:38,559 from this uh from pat price's uh 641 00:22:42,549 --> 00:22:40,240 off-time experiments 642 00:22:43,990 --> 00:22:42,559 and of course ingo swann uh who was also 643 00:22:47,190 --> 00:22:44,000 involved in this program 644 00:22:49,909 --> 00:22:47,200 on his own talked about um moon bases 645 00:22:50,710 --> 00:22:49,919 actually uh involving alien intelligence 646 00:22:52,470 --> 00:22:50,720 again 647 00:22:53,990 --> 00:22:52,480 many people scoffed at this to be honest 648 00:22:55,510 --> 00:22:54,000 even i was highly 649 00:22:57,830 --> 00:22:55,520 suspicious of this when i first heard 650 00:22:58,789 --> 00:22:57,840 about it but apparently there have been 651 00:23:03,830 --> 00:22:58,799 some 652 00:23:06,830 --> 00:23:03,840 organizations that suggest 653 00:23:07,990 --> 00:23:06,840 some anomalies noticed on the moon could 654 00:23:11,110 --> 00:23:08,000 conceivably 655 00:23:13,750 --> 00:23:11,120 reference or be data related to 656 00:23:15,909 --> 00:23:13,760 a moon base of some sort of other 657 00:23:18,630 --> 00:23:15,919 intelligence 658 00:23:19,510 --> 00:23:18,640 but make of that what you will what i'm 659 00:23:22,149 --> 00:23:19,520 interested in 660 00:23:22,549 --> 00:23:22,159 is the implications of this this notion 661 00:23:26,310 --> 00:23:22,559 that 662 00:23:29,430 --> 00:23:26,320 all information across time and space 663 00:23:31,590 --> 00:23:29,440 is always available and that we as human 664 00:23:34,230 --> 00:23:31,600 beings have some sort of latent 665 00:23:35,350 --> 00:23:34,240 innate capacity to access this 666 00:23:38,310 --> 00:23:35,360 information 667 00:23:39,350 --> 00:23:38,320 again this is astonishing why is this 668 00:23:41,350 --> 00:23:39,360 not headline news 669 00:23:43,029 --> 00:23:41,360 again that comes down to a lot of bias 670 00:23:44,549 --> 00:23:43,039 prejudice in 671 00:23:48,830 --> 00:23:44,559 mainstream science in the mainstream 672 00:23:50,230 --> 00:23:48,840 media nevertheless it is an astonishing 673 00:23:53,190 --> 00:23:50,240 result 674 00:23:53,510 --> 00:23:53,200 now again the implication here is that 675 00:23:59,190 --> 00:23:53,520 all 676 00:24:00,149 --> 00:23:59,200 always available always has been always 677 00:24:03,269 --> 00:24:00,159 will be 678 00:24:04,070 --> 00:24:03,279 and even those terms has will are to 679 00:24:07,110 --> 00:24:04,080 some degree 680 00:24:08,230 --> 00:24:07,120 um byproducts of our language and the 681 00:24:10,789 --> 00:24:08,240 limitations of it 682 00:24:12,230 --> 00:24:10,799 because again the the implications of 683 00:24:12,950 --> 00:24:12,240 all of these things we've been talking 684 00:24:14,630 --> 00:24:12,960 about 685 00:24:16,870 --> 00:24:14,640 is that even the way that we walk 686 00:24:18,789 --> 00:24:16,880 through time in a linear fashion 687 00:24:21,190 --> 00:24:18,799 uh that it's sort of a shared delusion 688 00:24:23,750 --> 00:24:21,200 that all humanity has right now 689 00:24:24,230 --> 00:24:23,760 but that's ultimately an illusion that 690 00:24:25,909 --> 00:24:24,240 this 691 00:24:29,350 --> 00:24:25,919 whether you want to call it the akashic 692 00:24:32,149 --> 00:24:29,360 records or some sort of cosmic database 693 00:24:33,110 --> 00:24:32,159 it contains information regarding past 694 00:24:34,470 --> 00:24:33,120 present future 695 00:24:37,029 --> 00:24:34,480 according to the way we would see it 696 00:24:39,750 --> 00:24:37,039 anyway from every event 697 00:24:43,430 --> 00:24:39,760 has ever existed from any sentient being 698 00:24:48,070 --> 00:24:45,990 and again when you think about people's 699 00:24:49,750 --> 00:24:48,080 contact with non-human intelligence with 700 00:24:52,390 --> 00:24:49,760 the others 701 00:24:53,830 --> 00:24:52,400 these others seem to be accessing these 702 00:24:55,110 --> 00:24:53,840 same skills but just to a much 703 00:24:57,110 --> 00:24:55,120 heightened degree 704 00:24:58,630 --> 00:24:57,120 so sometimes when people are taking on 705 00:25:00,310 --> 00:24:58,640 board of craft 706 00:25:01,830 --> 00:25:00,320 they're shown something like a life 707 00:25:02,789 --> 00:25:01,840 review that you have in a near-death 708 00:25:04,390 --> 00:25:02,799 experience 709 00:25:06,149 --> 00:25:04,400 where every event you've ever 710 00:25:07,830 --> 00:25:06,159 experienced is somehow uh 711 00:25:10,310 --> 00:25:07,840 available to you now and available to 712 00:25:12,149 --> 00:25:10,320 them even more interestingly whether 713 00:25:13,830 --> 00:25:12,159 it's a near-death experience or even 714 00:25:16,070 --> 00:25:13,840 sometimes a life review on one of these 715 00:25:18,149 --> 00:25:16,080 alien craft 716 00:25:19,830 --> 00:25:18,159 people will also be able to experience 717 00:25:22,230 --> 00:25:19,840 how they made others feel 718 00:25:23,990 --> 00:25:22,240 every interaction they ever had they can 719 00:25:25,430 --> 00:25:24,000 remember not only how they felt and what 720 00:25:27,669 --> 00:25:25,440 their actions were 721 00:25:28,870 --> 00:25:27,679 but how the others were affected by 722 00:25:33,269 --> 00:25:28,880 their actions 723 00:25:37,110 --> 00:25:34,870 so regarding the fascinating 724 00:25:38,070 --> 00:25:37,120 implications we've discussed on today's 725 00:25:41,990 --> 00:25:38,080 episode 726 00:25:44,390 --> 00:25:42,000 does this lead us 727 00:25:45,990 --> 00:25:44,400 again it tells us something fundamental 728 00:25:47,909 --> 00:25:46,000 about reality 729 00:25:51,190 --> 00:25:47,919 it tells us something about the paradigm 730 00:25:53,430 --> 00:25:51,200 we have now is fundamentally wrong 731 00:25:55,110 --> 00:25:53,440 insufficient perhaps even headed in the 732 00:25:56,630 --> 00:25:55,120 completely wrong direction 733 00:25:58,470 --> 00:25:56,640 because of course again for the 734 00:26:00,950 --> 00:25:58,480 mainstream establishment 735 00:26:02,870 --> 00:26:00,960 scientific materialism rules the idea 736 00:26:05,110 --> 00:26:02,880 that matter and energy 737 00:26:05,990 --> 00:26:05,120 are primary and something like 738 00:26:09,269 --> 00:26:06,000 consciousness 739 00:26:11,190 --> 00:26:09,279 is an artifact of those things what the 740 00:26:13,510 --> 00:26:11,200 implications we've discussed today 741 00:26:14,710 --> 00:26:13,520 uh suggest is that consciousness is 742 00:26:17,350 --> 00:26:14,720 actually the bedrock 743 00:26:20,149 --> 00:26:17,360 of reality from which everything else 744 00:26:23,510 --> 00:26:22,230 now let's bring it back to the title of 745 00:26:26,310 --> 00:26:23,520 this episode 746 00:26:27,110 --> 00:26:26,320 consciously connected now this has a 747 00:26:29,909 --> 00:26:27,120 double meaning 748 00:26:31,510 --> 00:26:29,919 from my point of view on the one hand 749 00:26:33,110 --> 00:26:31,520 all of what we've been discussing in 750 00:26:35,350 --> 00:26:33,120 this episode 751 00:26:36,310 --> 00:26:35,360 points to consciousness as the common 752 00:26:38,470 --> 00:26:36,320 link 753 00:26:39,990 --> 00:26:38,480 it is the substrate that gives rise to 754 00:26:41,909 --> 00:26:40,000 everything else 755 00:26:43,350 --> 00:26:41,919 we are consciously connected one to 756 00:26:45,750 --> 00:26:43,360 another human to human 757 00:26:48,470 --> 00:26:45,760 human to non-human whether we like it or 758 00:26:50,549 --> 00:26:48,480 not whether we realize it or not 759 00:26:52,710 --> 00:26:50,559 and in some sense our journey is in 760 00:26:55,110 --> 00:26:52,720 returning to that place of oneness 761 00:26:56,070 --> 00:26:55,120 a kind of big bang of consciousness if 762 00:26:59,029 --> 00:26:56,080 you will 763 00:27:00,750 --> 00:26:59,039 where everything everyone everywhere 764 00:27:02,149 --> 00:27:00,760 becomes cognizant of the 765 00:27:04,950 --> 00:27:02,159 interconnectedness of 766 00:27:05,350 --> 00:27:04,960 all that is realizing that to harm the 767 00:27:07,669 --> 00:27:05,360 one 768 00:27:11,909 --> 00:27:07,679 is to harm the all and to benefit the 769 00:27:15,590 --> 00:27:13,750 and that brings us to a close of this 770 00:27:16,870 --> 00:27:15,600 edition of the point of convergence 771 00:27:18,710 --> 00:27:16,880 podcast 772 00:27:19,990 --> 00:27:18,720 i hope you've enjoyed what you've heard 773 00:27:21,830 --> 00:27:20,000 i hope you've been challenged 774 00:27:23,110 --> 00:27:21,840 by what you've heard in terms of how 775 00:27:26,149 --> 00:27:23,120 you'll live your life 776 00:27:27,830 --> 00:27:26,159 i know i have been and as always i hope 777 00:27:30,710 --> 00:27:27,840 you'll tune in again next week as we 778 00:27:32,870 --> 00:27:30,720 continue this fascinating journey 779 00:27:34,549 --> 00:27:32,880 until then from deep in the blue ridge
