1 00:00:02,830 --> 00:00:08,629 [Music] 2 00:00:12,390 --> 00:00:09,509 hello 3 00:00:14,549 --> 00:00:12,400 and welcome to episode number 14 of the 4 00:00:19,269 --> 00:00:14,559 point of convergence podcast 5 00:00:21,510 --> 00:00:19,279 as always i am your host exo academian 6 00:00:22,550 --> 00:00:21,520 for almost as long as human beings have 7 00:00:25,589 --> 00:00:22,560 been looking up 8 00:00:27,589 --> 00:00:25,599 and spotting strange aerial vehicles 9 00:00:28,790 --> 00:00:27,599 making astonishing maneuvers in our 10 00:00:30,630 --> 00:00:28,800 skies 11 00:00:32,950 --> 00:00:30,640 people have been reporting a parallel 12 00:00:35,910 --> 00:00:32,960 experience that in most people's minds 13 00:00:38,229 --> 00:00:35,920 is even stranger i speak of direct 14 00:00:41,270 --> 00:00:38,239 contact with the supposed intelligence 15 00:00:43,510 --> 00:00:41,280 controlling these advanced craft 16 00:00:46,229 --> 00:00:43,520 sometimes the contact comes in the form 17 00:00:48,150 --> 00:00:46,239 of remote telepathic communication 18 00:00:49,990 --> 00:00:48,160 where human beings find themselves being 19 00:00:51,590 --> 00:00:50,000 communicated with by an apparently 20 00:00:54,630 --> 00:00:51,600 non-human intelligence 21 00:00:57,189 --> 00:00:54,640 not immediately present other times 22 00:00:57,990 --> 00:00:57,199 non-human entities seem to appear in 23 00:01:00,950 --> 00:00:58,000 person as it 24 00:01:02,869 --> 00:01:00,960 were wherever an experiencer is making 25 00:01:07,429 --> 00:01:02,879 the event all the more concrete 26 00:01:10,550 --> 00:01:09,670 of course the most depending on your 27 00:01:13,590 --> 00:01:10,560 point of view 28 00:01:15,830 --> 00:01:13,600 famous or infamous type of contact 29 00:01:17,590 --> 00:01:15,840 is in the form most commonly referred to 30 00:01:20,149 --> 00:01:17,600 as abduction 31 00:01:21,429 --> 00:01:20,159 this kind of event involves human beings 32 00:01:23,749 --> 00:01:21,439 being taken 33 00:01:25,590 --> 00:01:23,759 often reportedly against their will and 34 00:01:28,789 --> 00:01:25,600 under a form of paralysis 35 00:01:31,990 --> 00:01:28,799 and transported directly on board ufos 36 00:01:33,030 --> 00:01:32,000 i.e alien craft the means of this 37 00:01:35,590 --> 00:01:33,040 transportation 38 00:01:36,710 --> 00:01:35,600 often involves bizarre elements such as 39 00:01:38,550 --> 00:01:36,720 levitation 40 00:01:43,109 --> 00:01:38,560 and the passing seamlessly and 41 00:01:46,149 --> 00:01:45,109 what is often termed the abduction 42 00:01:48,710 --> 00:01:46,159 phenomenon 43 00:01:50,069 --> 00:01:48,720 takes on an even stranger turn with the 44 00:01:53,030 --> 00:01:50,079 added consideration 45 00:01:54,870 --> 00:01:53,040 of an even more startling metric here i 46 00:01:56,950 --> 00:01:54,880 refer to the finding that many 47 00:01:58,709 --> 00:01:56,960 if not most of the people who have 48 00:02:01,429 --> 00:01:58,719 experienced such an event 49 00:02:01,830 --> 00:02:01,439 have come to realize sometimes on their 50 00:02:04,069 --> 00:02:01,840 own 51 00:02:05,910 --> 00:02:04,079 and sometimes with the aid of tools such 52 00:02:08,550 --> 00:02:05,920 as hypnotic regression 53 00:02:09,510 --> 00:02:08,560 that these experiences are not isolated 54 00:02:11,990 --> 00:02:09,520 events 55 00:02:14,150 --> 00:02:12,000 but actually part of a repeating pattern 56 00:02:15,350 --> 00:02:14,160 often stretching well back into early 57 00:02:17,430 --> 00:02:15,360 childhood 58 00:02:20,830 --> 00:02:17,440 sometimes even a history stretching 59 00:02:23,350 --> 00:02:20,840 across generations of genetic lines 60 00:02:25,670 --> 00:02:23,360 emerges even 61 00:02:26,470 --> 00:02:25,680 stranger than the revelation of this 62 00:02:28,550 --> 00:02:26,480 evidently 63 00:02:31,350 --> 00:02:28,560 alien intervention in the lives of 64 00:02:32,309 --> 00:02:31,360 reported thousands if not millions of 65 00:02:34,790 --> 00:02:32,319 people 66 00:02:36,710 --> 00:02:34,800 right around the planet is the reported 67 00:02:38,150 --> 00:02:36,720 nature of these contact events 68 00:02:40,229 --> 00:02:38,160 themselves 69 00:02:42,229 --> 00:02:40,239 these experiences are as utterly 70 00:02:44,790 --> 00:02:42,239 disorienting and paradigm 71 00:02:45,589 --> 00:02:44,800 shattering as they can be ultimately 72 00:02:48,869 --> 00:02:45,599 illuminating 73 00:02:51,110 --> 00:02:48,879 and transformative the sheer depth and 74 00:02:53,830 --> 00:02:51,120 richness of the experiences has led 75 00:02:55,750 --> 00:02:53,840 author and experiencer whitley strieber 76 00:02:59,910 --> 00:02:55,760 to refer to the experience as 77 00:03:02,790 --> 00:02:59,920 communion and like strieber contactees 78 00:03:04,229 --> 00:03:02,800 abductees are often left with artifacts 79 00:03:07,190 --> 00:03:04,239 such as missing time 80 00:03:08,630 --> 00:03:07,200 and bodily implants at the end of these 81 00:03:12,229 --> 00:03:08,640 uncannily bizarre 82 00:03:16,710 --> 00:03:14,949 let us be clear while these experiences 83 00:03:18,070 --> 00:03:16,720 can ultimately play a deeply 84 00:03:21,670 --> 00:03:18,080 transformative role 85 00:03:23,750 --> 00:03:21,680 in the lives of experiencers they are 86 00:03:25,589 --> 00:03:23,760 perhaps of necessity considering the 87 00:03:27,910 --> 00:03:25,599 reality bending nature of the 88 00:03:30,949 --> 00:03:27,920 information being conveyed 89 00:03:33,350 --> 00:03:30,959 also ontologically shocking and often 90 00:03:34,710 --> 00:03:33,360 at least initially astoundingly 91 00:03:37,110 --> 00:03:34,720 traumatic 92 00:03:37,910 --> 00:03:37,120 perhaps there is no easy way to ease a 93 00:03:40,550 --> 00:03:37,920 human being 94 00:03:42,149 --> 00:03:40,560 into these kinds of revelations they 95 00:03:43,830 --> 00:03:42,159 effectively pull the rug out from 96 00:03:45,670 --> 00:03:43,840 underneath a person 97 00:03:47,670 --> 00:03:45,680 even if what's eventually put in its 98 00:03:49,509 --> 00:03:47,680 place for many anyway 99 00:03:51,190 --> 00:03:49,519 is something much richer and more 100 00:03:53,429 --> 00:03:51,200 inspiring 101 00:03:55,270 --> 00:03:53,439 to complicate matters further the 102 00:03:58,229 --> 00:03:55,280 expanded understanding of both 103 00:03:59,990 --> 00:03:58,239 self-identity and reality itself often 104 00:04:02,789 --> 00:04:00,000 discovered in these visits to the 105 00:04:03,270 --> 00:04:02,799 realm of the others even brings into 106 00:04:05,429 --> 00:04:03,280 question 107 00:04:07,429 --> 00:04:05,439 our somewhat limited understanding as 108 00:04:09,670 --> 00:04:07,439 the nature of free will 109 00:04:10,869 --> 00:04:09,680 when a soul may have made participatory 110 00:04:13,030 --> 00:04:10,879 decisions 111 00:04:14,309 --> 00:04:13,040 about the nature of these interactions 112 00:04:17,749 --> 00:04:14,319 even before birth 113 00:04:19,749 --> 00:04:17,759 into a human body the dual nature of 114 00:04:22,069 --> 00:04:19,759 these contact experiences 115 00:04:23,270 --> 00:04:22,079 that are as soul-shakingly bewildering 116 00:04:25,270 --> 00:04:23,280 as they are ultimately 117 00:04:26,710 --> 00:04:25,280 illuminating and potentially deeply 118 00:04:29,909 --> 00:04:26,720 transformative 119 00:04:35,410 --> 00:04:29,919 is the topic of this the 14th episode 120 00:04:42,070 --> 00:04:39,510 [Music] 121 00:04:43,270 --> 00:04:42,080 i'd like to begin this week's episode by 122 00:04:45,670 --> 00:04:43,280 reminding us all 123 00:04:47,270 --> 00:04:45,680 of the important role that experiencers 124 00:04:50,550 --> 00:04:47,280 play in our journey to 125 00:04:51,430 --> 00:04:50,560 understanding the phenomenon their role 126 00:04:54,070 --> 00:04:51,440 is essential 127 00:04:55,110 --> 00:04:54,080 whether you refer to them as contactees 128 00:04:58,150 --> 00:04:55,120 abductees 129 00:05:00,310 --> 00:04:58,160 volunteers or what have you they are 130 00:05:02,390 --> 00:05:00,320 essential to this process 131 00:05:03,670 --> 00:05:02,400 we've discussed jacques valley before we 132 00:05:06,070 --> 00:05:03,680 know how important 133 00:05:09,270 --> 00:05:06,080 a role he believed these experiences 134 00:05:11,510 --> 00:05:09,280 play in understanding the phenomenon 135 00:05:13,350 --> 00:05:11,520 another person who has pointed to the 136 00:05:16,629 --> 00:05:13,360 important role experiencers play 137 00:05:18,629 --> 00:05:16,639 is canadian researcher grant cameron 138 00:05:20,230 --> 00:05:18,639 and i'd like to quote from something 139 00:05:21,830 --> 00:05:20,240 grant cameron wrote in a book called 140 00:05:25,350 --> 00:05:21,840 meet the hybrids by 141 00:05:27,029 --> 00:05:25,360 miguel mendonca and barbara lamb 142 00:05:29,270 --> 00:05:27,039 grant cameron wrote the forward to this 143 00:05:31,110 --> 00:05:29,280 book and i quote 144 00:05:33,029 --> 00:05:31,120 people identifying themselves as 145 00:05:36,070 --> 00:05:33,039 experiencers and hybrids 146 00:05:38,950 --> 00:05:36,080 are critical to solving the ufo mystery 147 00:05:40,310 --> 00:05:38,960 for the past 70 years we have logged ufo 148 00:05:42,469 --> 00:05:40,320 sightings in the sky 149 00:05:43,510 --> 00:05:42,479 but we are no further ahead than when we 150 00:05:45,350 --> 00:05:43,520 started 151 00:05:48,070 --> 00:05:45,360 that is because very little can be 152 00:05:51,749 --> 00:05:48,080 learned by compiling statistics on color 153 00:05:51,990 --> 00:05:51,759 speed behavior and so on the only chance 154 00:05:54,469 --> 00:05:52,000 we 155 00:05:55,590 --> 00:05:54,479 have to solve the ufo mystery is to talk 156 00:05:57,270 --> 00:05:55,600 to the people who have 157 00:05:58,629 --> 00:05:57,280 interacted with those behind the 158 00:06:00,629 --> 00:05:58,639 phenomena 159 00:06:01,749 --> 00:06:00,639 the government and military may know 160 00:06:04,309 --> 00:06:01,759 what is going on 161 00:06:05,990 --> 00:06:04,319 but they are not about to tell us 162 00:06:08,070 --> 00:06:06,000 experiencers and hybrids 163 00:06:10,230 --> 00:06:08,080 on the other hand will take us inside 164 00:06:13,189 --> 00:06:10,240 the craft and into the motivations 165 00:06:16,230 --> 00:06:13,199 intentions and behavior of the ets 166 00:06:19,990 --> 00:06:19,110 unquote now what's interesting about a 167 00:06:22,550 --> 00:06:20,000 person like grant 168 00:06:24,710 --> 00:06:22,560 cameron is he began as a quote unquote 169 00:06:27,909 --> 00:06:24,720 nuts and bolts researcher 170 00:06:29,189 --> 00:06:27,919 his journey began when he spotted a ufo 171 00:06:32,550 --> 00:06:29,199 with some friends 172 00:06:34,629 --> 00:06:32,560 in manitoba canada decades ago and that 173 00:06:35,510 --> 00:06:34,639 led him to a life of research where he 174 00:06:38,390 --> 00:06:35,520 looked into 175 00:06:41,029 --> 00:06:38,400 sightings meta materials the paper trail 176 00:06:42,950 --> 00:06:41,039 in government circles and whatnot 177 00:06:45,110 --> 00:06:42,960 but more recently he's had a turn of 178 00:06:46,950 --> 00:06:45,120 thinking a shift in perspective 179 00:06:49,110 --> 00:06:46,960 and i'd like to discuss what he talks 180 00:06:51,189 --> 00:06:49,120 about in regards to that 181 00:06:54,550 --> 00:06:51,199 further on in this forward to the book 182 00:06:59,670 --> 00:06:57,510 in 2012 i had a moment of insight that 183 00:07:02,070 --> 00:06:59,680 came with absolute certainty 184 00:07:03,430 --> 00:07:02,080 the message was simple it said that the 185 00:07:05,830 --> 00:07:03,440 solution to the ufo 186 00:07:06,950 --> 00:07:05,840 problem was connected to non-local 187 00:07:08,870 --> 00:07:06,960 consciousness 188 00:07:10,790 --> 00:07:08,880 and that idea is a big part of the 189 00:07:13,350 --> 00:07:10,800 message in this book 190 00:07:14,710 --> 00:07:13,360 in that moment of insight i was reminded 191 00:07:17,270 --> 00:07:14,720 that the canadian government 192 00:07:19,430 --> 00:07:17,280 had been told by american officials back 193 00:07:21,510 --> 00:07:19,440 in november 1950 194 00:07:23,589 --> 00:07:21,520 that mental phenomena were part of the 195 00:07:25,430 --> 00:07:23,599 flying saucer phenomenon 196 00:07:27,430 --> 00:07:25,440 i was reminded that a former defense 197 00:07:28,870 --> 00:07:27,440 official and later president of penn 198 00:07:32,469 --> 00:07:28,880 state university 199 00:07:35,589 --> 00:07:32,479 had told myself and others in 1991 200 00:07:37,510 --> 00:07:35,599 that esp was a key to the ufo phenomenon 201 00:07:39,430 --> 00:07:37,520 and that we would go nowhere without an 202 00:07:42,230 --> 00:07:39,440 understanding of it 203 00:07:44,309 --> 00:07:42,240 finally i was reminded that ben rich who 204 00:07:47,589 --> 00:07:44,319 headed lockheed skunk works 205 00:07:49,350 --> 00:07:47,599 had stated in 1993 that the mechanisms 206 00:07:53,430 --> 00:07:49,360 that facilitate esp 207 00:07:55,670 --> 00:07:53,440 are central to how ufo propulsion works 208 00:07:57,510 --> 00:07:55,680 suddenly my belief in the nuts and bolts 209 00:08:00,390 --> 00:07:57,520 of the ufo phenomena 210 00:08:01,270 --> 00:08:00,400 collapsed like newtonian physics did the 211 00:08:04,390 --> 00:08:01,280 day they ran 212 00:08:06,150 --> 00:08:04,400 the double slit experiment i realized i 213 00:08:06,950 --> 00:08:06,160 had to quit watching the lights in the 214 00:08:09,270 --> 00:08:06,960 sky 215 00:08:10,869 --> 00:08:09,280 and the screen imaging puppet and start 216 00:08:13,909 --> 00:08:10,879 listening to the message 217 00:08:17,270 --> 00:08:15,830 now for those of you who've tuned in 218 00:08:18,950 --> 00:08:17,280 since the beginning of the point of 219 00:08:21,749 --> 00:08:18,960 convergence podcast 220 00:08:23,510 --> 00:08:21,759 in some ways this is nothing new these 221 00:08:25,830 --> 00:08:23,520 are some additional details some 222 00:08:27,589 --> 00:08:25,840 additional confirmations but we've been 223 00:08:28,710 --> 00:08:27,599 talking about things like non-local 224 00:08:30,950 --> 00:08:28,720 consciousness 225 00:08:32,149 --> 00:08:30,960 and the connected modalities of the ufo 226 00:08:33,990 --> 00:08:32,159 phenomenon 227 00:08:35,350 --> 00:08:34,000 contact with non-human intelligence 228 00:08:38,790 --> 00:08:35,360 near-death experiences 229 00:08:40,790 --> 00:08:38,800 remote viewing telekinesis etc 230 00:08:42,870 --> 00:08:40,800 is all parts of one underlying 231 00:08:44,310 --> 00:08:42,880 phenomenon that describes something 232 00:08:47,269 --> 00:08:44,320 fundamental about 233 00:08:48,310 --> 00:08:47,279 reality and the experience of 234 00:08:50,389 --> 00:08:48,320 experiencers 235 00:08:52,310 --> 00:08:50,399 is essential for us in understanding 236 00:08:54,949 --> 00:08:52,320 this further 237 00:08:55,430 --> 00:08:54,959 and from what we understand experiencers 238 00:08:58,389 --> 00:08:55,440 have 239 00:08:59,590 --> 00:08:58,399 one of two kinds of uh experiences 240 00:09:02,710 --> 00:08:59,600 either they have 241 00:09:05,430 --> 00:09:02,720 deeply transformative experiences or 242 00:09:06,870 --> 00:09:05,440 deeply traumatic experiences they're 243 00:09:10,070 --> 00:09:06,880 either enlightening 244 00:09:13,430 --> 00:09:10,080 or frightening or someone might think 245 00:09:16,630 --> 00:09:13,440 at first glance in truth i often think 246 00:09:18,550 --> 00:09:16,640 both are true of almost all experiences 247 00:09:19,750 --> 00:09:18,560 and that's a central part of what we 248 00:09:23,509 --> 00:09:19,760 want to discuss 249 00:09:25,509 --> 00:09:23,519 in this week's podcast 250 00:09:27,430 --> 00:09:25,519 in the introduction to this episode i 251 00:09:29,269 --> 00:09:27,440 mentioned whitley strieber 252 00:09:31,190 --> 00:09:29,279 now of course whitley strieber is one of 253 00:09:35,030 --> 00:09:31,200 our culture's most famous 254 00:09:37,670 --> 00:09:35,040 abductees contactees experiencers 255 00:09:38,949 --> 00:09:37,680 his book communion changed our entire 256 00:09:40,790 --> 00:09:38,959 culture's discussion 257 00:09:43,430 --> 00:09:40,800 in some ways it kicked it off the 258 00:09:44,949 --> 00:09:43,440 discussion of the abduction phenomenon 259 00:09:47,509 --> 00:09:44,959 at least it took it to an entirely 260 00:09:49,030 --> 00:09:47,519 different level and for thousands and 261 00:09:51,110 --> 00:09:49,040 thousands of people 262 00:09:52,230 --> 00:09:51,120 seeing the front cover of his book 263 00:09:54,150 --> 00:09:52,240 communion 264 00:09:56,710 --> 00:09:54,160 changed everything it brought back 265 00:10:00,070 --> 00:09:56,720 memories of a figure that they too 266 00:10:01,829 --> 00:10:00,080 remembered startlingly now whitley 267 00:10:03,350 --> 00:10:01,839 strieber in addition to that book and 268 00:10:05,910 --> 00:10:03,360 many others he's written 269 00:10:07,750 --> 00:10:05,920 also along with his wife ann strieber 270 00:10:08,470 --> 00:10:07,760 put together a book called the communion 271 00:10:11,750 --> 00:10:08,480 letters 272 00:10:15,190 --> 00:10:11,760 to them 273 00:10:17,750 --> 00:10:15,200 from other experiencers 274 00:10:19,110 --> 00:10:17,760 now this book this compendium titled the 275 00:10:22,069 --> 00:10:19,120 communion letters 276 00:10:24,470 --> 00:10:22,079 puts the dual nature of the abduction 277 00:10:27,269 --> 00:10:24,480 experience which is again both 278 00:10:28,710 --> 00:10:27,279 transformative but also terrifying front 279 00:10:30,710 --> 00:10:28,720 and center 280 00:10:32,389 --> 00:10:30,720 for instance one letter was titled 281 00:10:34,870 --> 00:10:32,399 terrified beyond description 282 00:10:35,430 --> 00:10:34,880 blessed beyond words and i think that 283 00:10:38,310 --> 00:10:35,440 puts it 284 00:10:38,870 --> 00:10:38,320 in a nutshell and i'd like to quote from 285 00:10:40,870 --> 00:10:38,880 something 286 00:10:42,870 --> 00:10:40,880 whitley writes in the introduction to 287 00:10:45,269 --> 00:10:42,880 this book quote 288 00:10:45,990 --> 00:10:45,279 the letters offer us a remarkably pure 289 00:10:47,990 --> 00:10:46,000 and efficient 290 00:10:49,590 --> 00:10:48,000 means of understanding the message that 291 00:10:52,230 --> 00:10:49,600 these very strange others 292 00:10:54,069 --> 00:10:52,240 may be bringing us it is not a message 293 00:10:56,630 --> 00:10:54,079 that can be written on a billboard 294 00:10:58,949 --> 00:10:56,640 or explained in a few simple words but 295 00:11:02,949 --> 00:10:58,959 it is an astonishingly clear one 296 00:11:04,710 --> 00:11:02,959 nevertheless as we journey from one 297 00:11:07,430 --> 00:11:04,720 bizarre tale to the next 298 00:11:07,829 --> 00:11:07,440 an overall pattern emerges again and 299 00:11:10,150 --> 00:11:07,839 again 300 00:11:12,150 --> 00:11:10,160 the close encounter witness has his 301 00:11:14,870 --> 00:11:12,160 understanding of the world around him 302 00:11:15,910 --> 00:11:14,880 shattered he has revealed to himself in 303 00:11:18,310 --> 00:11:15,920 a new way 304 00:11:19,590 --> 00:11:18,320 the world around him ceases to sustain 305 00:11:21,990 --> 00:11:19,600 the familiar meaning 306 00:11:24,550 --> 00:11:22,000 by which he had defined it and becomes 307 00:11:26,790 --> 00:11:24,560 wrapped in mystery 308 00:11:27,670 --> 00:11:26,800 he is challenged by questions that he 309 00:11:30,550 --> 00:11:27,680 cannot bear 310 00:11:32,790 --> 00:11:30,560 and cannot answer again and again the 311 00:11:36,790 --> 00:11:32,800 plea will be made in these letters 312 00:11:38,790 --> 00:11:36,800 help me i'm confused i cannot understand 313 00:11:40,710 --> 00:11:38,800 there can be only one reason for such 314 00:11:43,350 --> 00:11:40,720 disorientation 315 00:11:45,269 --> 00:11:43,360 at the very deepest level of the mind so 316 00:11:46,470 --> 00:11:45,279 deep it is hard even to remember what 317 00:11:49,269 --> 00:11:46,480 happens there 318 00:11:49,750 --> 00:11:49,279 the visitors are inducing stress and it 319 00:11:57,269 --> 00:11:49,760 is 320 00:12:00,310 --> 00:11:57,279 attempt to drive the human unconscious 321 00:12:02,389 --> 00:12:00,320 insane obviously not an 322 00:12:04,629 --> 00:12:02,399 effort to harm us could be made without 323 00:12:05,910 --> 00:12:04,639 expanding anything like the resources 324 00:12:08,949 --> 00:12:05,920 that are being poured 325 00:12:09,509 --> 00:12:08,959 into the visitors work when species are 326 00:12:12,870 --> 00:12:09,519 stressed 327 00:12:15,590 --> 00:12:12,880 too much they collapse they go extinct 328 00:12:17,990 --> 00:12:15,600 slightly less stress and they evolve to 329 00:12:19,829 --> 00:12:18,000 meet the new conditions 330 00:12:21,670 --> 00:12:19,839 we have not yet received a letter 331 00:12:24,150 --> 00:12:21,680 reporting that mental illness has 332 00:12:27,030 --> 00:12:24,160 emerged from a close encounter 333 00:12:28,470 --> 00:12:27,040 so if the experience isn't dangerous but 334 00:12:31,509 --> 00:12:28,480 it is stressful 335 00:12:34,230 --> 00:12:31,519 what is the outcome of the stress again 336 00:12:35,910 --> 00:12:34,240 the letters make this clear the stress 337 00:12:37,910 --> 00:12:35,920 produces the most profound 338 00:12:41,269 --> 00:12:37,920 opening of the mind we have ever 339 00:12:43,190 --> 00:12:41,279 witnessed unquote 340 00:12:45,110 --> 00:12:43,200 now what whitley strieber is describing 341 00:12:47,269 --> 00:12:45,120 here sounds a lot like what 342 00:12:50,069 --> 00:12:47,279 we discussed in the episode on jacques 343 00:12:52,310 --> 00:12:50,079 villa's control system hypothesis 344 00:12:53,110 --> 00:12:52,320 in that episode we discussed jacques 345 00:12:55,990 --> 00:12:53,120 discussion 346 00:12:58,069 --> 00:12:56,000 of bf skinner's work around how you 347 00:13:02,949 --> 00:12:58,079 change a population how you 348 00:13:05,990 --> 00:13:05,030 what i'm suggesting in this podcast 349 00:13:08,069 --> 00:13:06,000 episode 350 00:13:09,509 --> 00:13:08,079 is that in addition to having our 351 00:13:12,550 --> 00:13:09,519 collective consciousness 352 00:13:13,910 --> 00:13:12,560 evolved by the parameters of something 353 00:13:16,790 --> 00:13:13,920 like a control system 354 00:13:18,310 --> 00:13:16,800 as described by jacques valley that the 355 00:13:21,829 --> 00:13:18,320 others are also working 356 00:13:24,069 --> 00:13:21,839 on us as individuals but on a mass scale 357 00:13:25,829 --> 00:13:24,079 perhaps a much larger scale than we are 358 00:13:28,150 --> 00:13:25,839 even aware of 359 00:13:28,949 --> 00:13:28,160 why would they do this i would suggest 360 00:13:31,910 --> 00:13:28,959 it's because 361 00:13:33,670 --> 00:13:31,920 we do not respond well as a collective 362 00:13:36,310 --> 00:13:33,680 not on a conscious way 363 00:13:38,550 --> 00:13:36,320 in fact when we respond as a collective 364 00:13:40,790 --> 00:13:38,560 we often respond as a mob 365 00:13:41,829 --> 00:13:40,800 and the lowest common denominator tends 366 00:13:44,710 --> 00:13:41,839 to rule 367 00:13:48,069 --> 00:13:44,720 so that means violence aggression fight 368 00:13:50,310 --> 00:13:48,079 or flight 369 00:13:51,269 --> 00:13:50,320 explains to me anyway why they may be 370 00:13:54,150 --> 00:13:51,279 working with us 371 00:13:55,829 --> 00:13:54,160 individually rather than as a collective 372 00:13:59,030 --> 00:13:55,839 that's part of the story anyway 373 00:14:00,150 --> 00:13:59,040 more to come but to really drive home 374 00:14:02,550 --> 00:14:00,160 the dual nature 375 00:14:03,350 --> 00:14:02,560 of these experiences the series of 376 00:14:05,750 --> 00:14:03,360 experiences 377 00:14:06,470 --> 00:14:05,760 that people have i think it's important 378 00:14:09,829 --> 00:14:06,480 to bring in 379 00:14:10,710 --> 00:14:09,839 a personal story sherry wilde is someone 380 00:14:13,430 --> 00:14:10,720 we've discussed 381 00:14:15,110 --> 00:14:13,440 in brief on previous podcasts she is an 382 00:14:18,230 --> 00:14:15,120 american experiencer 383 00:14:20,790 --> 00:14:18,240 who went from disbelief to trauma to 384 00:14:22,230 --> 00:14:20,800 awakening 385 00:14:24,550 --> 00:14:22,240 by the way if you'd like to know more 386 00:14:25,430 --> 00:14:24,560 about sherry wild's story it is depicted 387 00:14:27,509 --> 00:14:25,440 in a book called 388 00:14:29,829 --> 00:14:27,519 the forgotten promise rejoining our 389 00:14:31,750 --> 00:14:29,839 cosmic 390 00:14:33,350 --> 00:14:31,760 now sherry wild is someone who didn't 391 00:14:34,310 --> 00:14:33,360 think about aliens she didn't think 392 00:14:36,629 --> 00:14:34,320 about ufos 393 00:14:38,310 --> 00:14:36,639 she had no interest in that topic at all 394 00:14:40,069 --> 00:14:38,320 in fact 395 00:14:42,069 --> 00:14:40,079 and it wasn't until she had a regression 396 00:14:43,030 --> 00:14:42,079 one day that a flood of memories came 397 00:14:45,030 --> 00:14:43,040 back 398 00:14:46,150 --> 00:14:45,040 and she only had that regression because 399 00:14:49,750 --> 00:14:46,160 she had a 400 00:14:51,750 --> 00:14:49,760 series of experiences with missing time 401 00:14:52,790 --> 00:14:51,760 when her experiences were revealed to 402 00:14:55,590 --> 00:14:52,800 her she 403 00:14:57,189 --> 00:14:55,600 felt like a victim she said quote it 404 00:15:00,150 --> 00:14:57,199 pretty much destroyed my life 405 00:15:02,150 --> 00:15:00,160 blew it apart i could barely function my 406 00:15:04,550 --> 00:15:02,160 marriage came undone 407 00:15:06,790 --> 00:15:04,560 i'd had hundreds of experiences it was 408 00:15:09,269 --> 00:15:06,800 difficult for me to come to terms with 409 00:15:09,990 --> 00:15:09,279 it wasn't just the memories the way they 410 00:15:12,069 --> 00:15:10,000 come back 411 00:15:14,310 --> 00:15:12,079 these memories they literally explode in 412 00:15:16,949 --> 00:15:14,320 your head and you have these jarring oh 413 00:15:18,550 --> 00:15:16,959 my god that happened 414 00:15:20,790 --> 00:15:18,560 and then it started happening in real 415 00:15:22,949 --> 00:15:20,800 time she goes on to say 416 00:15:25,110 --> 00:15:22,959 i became aware that they were coming for 417 00:15:26,790 --> 00:15:25,120 me they were coming as many as five 418 00:15:29,269 --> 00:15:26,800 times a week 419 00:15:31,670 --> 00:15:29,279 very disruptive to my life a lot of my 420 00:15:33,350 --> 00:15:31,680 experiences happened during the day 421 00:15:34,870 --> 00:15:33,360 one day i remember driving down the 422 00:15:37,509 --> 00:15:34,880 street and it was noon 423 00:15:37,910 --> 00:15:37,519 lunch hour and in the blink of an eye i 424 00:15:41,670 --> 00:15:37,920 was 425 00:15:43,509 --> 00:15:41,680 side of the road 426 00:15:45,269 --> 00:15:43,519 and the sun was in a totally different 427 00:15:47,509 --> 00:15:45,279 place and i looked at 428 00:15:48,629 --> 00:15:47,519 the clock it was three o'clock and i 429 00:15:51,350 --> 00:15:48,639 mean no memory 430 00:15:52,069 --> 00:15:51,360 no nothing it's seamless the only thing 431 00:15:54,150 --> 00:15:52,079 you notice 432 00:15:55,590 --> 00:15:54,160 is that you're in this place and then 433 00:15:56,389 --> 00:15:55,600 all of a sudden you're in this other 434 00:15:59,189 --> 00:15:56,399 place 435 00:16:00,949 --> 00:15:59,199 and there's missing time and no memory 436 00:16:03,590 --> 00:16:00,959 it was very disturbing 437 00:16:05,670 --> 00:16:03,600 very very disruptive to my life and my 438 00:16:08,470 --> 00:16:05,680 marriage didn't survive it 439 00:16:10,150 --> 00:16:08,480 and my family almost didn't survive it i 440 00:16:12,069 --> 00:16:10,160 went to a lot of psychologists 441 00:16:13,350 --> 00:16:12,079 trying to get one of them to tell me i 442 00:16:15,350 --> 00:16:13,360 was insane 443 00:16:16,629 --> 00:16:15,360 i would rather have been diagnosed with 444 00:16:18,870 --> 00:16:16,639 a mental illness 445 00:16:20,629 --> 00:16:18,880 and be treated for that than to have to 446 00:16:23,269 --> 00:16:20,639 come to terms with the idea 447 00:16:25,749 --> 00:16:23,279 that i was being abducted by aliens 448 00:16:27,269 --> 00:16:25,759 unquote 449 00:16:29,430 --> 00:16:27,279 by the way what i just read was a 450 00:16:32,949 --> 00:16:29,440 transcript from a video interview 451 00:16:35,110 --> 00:16:32,959 done by ufo hub of sherry wilde and ufo 452 00:16:35,990 --> 00:16:35,120 hub has some great resources i'd highly 453 00:16:39,829 --> 00:16:36,000 recommend you check 454 00:16:40,629 --> 00:16:39,839 them out now when you reflect on what i 455 00:16:42,949 --> 00:16:40,639 just read 456 00:16:44,389 --> 00:16:42,959 regarding sherry wild's experiences 457 00:16:46,470 --> 00:16:44,399 whether coming for her 458 00:16:49,269 --> 00:16:46,480 five days a week sometimes in broad 459 00:16:52,629 --> 00:16:49,279 daylight in the middle of her work day 460 00:16:55,670 --> 00:16:52,639 does that sound exciting or enticing 461 00:16:57,430 --> 00:16:55,680 not really not for many people we 462 00:16:58,470 --> 00:16:57,440 completely understand why this would be 463 00:17:01,590 --> 00:16:58,480 considered 464 00:17:03,590 --> 00:17:01,600 very disruptive to her life imagine what 465 00:17:05,829 --> 00:17:03,600 this does to a family's life 466 00:17:06,630 --> 00:17:05,839 what is the spouse to say or children to 467 00:17:09,270 --> 00:17:06,640 say 468 00:17:11,110 --> 00:17:09,280 when the reality that we're taught about 469 00:17:14,309 --> 00:17:11,120 doesn't have any room for these kind of 470 00:17:19,029 --> 00:17:17,189 but from this point of deep trauma 471 00:17:20,949 --> 00:17:19,039 remember she went from initially 472 00:17:23,590 --> 00:17:20,959 not having memories at all she was 473 00:17:25,669 --> 00:17:23,600 having experiences for 20 some years 474 00:17:26,949 --> 00:17:25,679 and no conscious recall of what was 475 00:17:29,110 --> 00:17:26,959 happening 476 00:17:30,549 --> 00:17:29,120 eventually she did remember and then she 477 00:17:33,190 --> 00:17:30,559 really wanted to remember 478 00:17:35,029 --> 00:17:33,200 she sought out hypnotic regression and 479 00:17:36,950 --> 00:17:35,039 then the trauma came when she realized 480 00:17:39,510 --> 00:17:36,960 what was actually happening 481 00:17:40,870 --> 00:17:39,520 and it made her feel like a victim but 482 00:17:43,510 --> 00:17:40,880 eventually that perspective 483 00:17:44,549 --> 00:17:43,520 slowly but surely changed when she began 484 00:17:47,830 --> 00:17:44,559 to understand 485 00:17:50,470 --> 00:17:47,840 and remember more of the total story 486 00:17:54,310 --> 00:17:50,480 a story that purportedly goes back even 487 00:17:58,870 --> 00:17:56,789 now as the memories flooded back sherry 488 00:17:59,830 --> 00:17:58,880 began to recall interactions with all 489 00:18:01,909 --> 00:17:59,840 sorts of different 490 00:18:03,990 --> 00:18:01,919 beings different alien species that 491 00:18:05,750 --> 00:18:04,000 looked quite different from each other 492 00:18:08,070 --> 00:18:05,760 and they had different functions all 493 00:18:09,270 --> 00:18:08,080 working together on some of these alien 494 00:18:11,430 --> 00:18:09,280 craft 495 00:18:13,350 --> 00:18:11,440 but one figure stood out from the rest 496 00:18:16,150 --> 00:18:13,360 it was a figure she named da 497 00:18:17,510 --> 00:18:16,160 who looked like a grey alien it was a 498 00:18:20,710 --> 00:18:17,520 figure that had been with her 499 00:18:23,190 --> 00:18:20,720 since childhood since infant hood 500 00:18:23,909 --> 00:18:23,200 in fact she remembers having experiences 501 00:18:28,390 --> 00:18:23,919 with him 502 00:18:31,029 --> 00:18:28,400 lifetimes 503 00:18:32,390 --> 00:18:31,039 one day she asked him are you a gray you 504 00:18:35,110 --> 00:18:32,400 look like a gray 505 00:18:36,230 --> 00:18:35,120 and he replied that's just a container 506 00:18:37,909 --> 00:18:36,240 that i wear 507 00:18:40,310 --> 00:18:37,919 a lot of us are what you would call a 508 00:18:42,870 --> 00:18:40,320 spirit being we don't have a form 509 00:18:43,350 --> 00:18:42,880 a solid body but when we come into this 510 00:18:48,950 --> 00:18:43,360 world 511 00:18:51,190 --> 00:18:48,960 a body in order to do our work 512 00:18:52,470 --> 00:18:51,200 so we put on this container it's highly 513 00:18:56,230 --> 00:18:52,480 functional 514 00:19:00,950 --> 00:18:56,240 we're not formed creatures 515 00:19:05,510 --> 00:19:02,870 now again for those of you who've been 516 00:19:07,830 --> 00:19:05,520 tuning in to this podcast week to week 517 00:19:09,990 --> 00:19:07,840 this sounds somewhat familiar this 518 00:19:12,950 --> 00:19:10,000 reminds us of dr edgar mitchell's 519 00:19:13,830 --> 00:19:12,960 work on the quantum hologram and we 520 00:19:15,510 --> 00:19:13,840 discussed how 521 00:19:17,669 --> 00:19:15,520 creatures that are resonating with the 522 00:19:20,950 --> 00:19:17,679 quantum hologram at high levels 523 00:19:23,110 --> 00:19:20,960 would perhaps move beyond physical form 524 00:19:24,870 --> 00:19:23,120 that seems to be exactly what da the 525 00:19:26,870 --> 00:19:24,880 figure she called daw that wasn't his 526 00:19:27,590 --> 00:19:26,880 actual name he just had an energetic 527 00:19:29,909 --> 00:19:27,600 signature 528 00:19:33,029 --> 00:19:29,919 by which others would recognize him is 529 00:19:37,350 --> 00:19:35,830 now earlier on we discussed how these 530 00:19:39,669 --> 00:19:37,360 others were coming for her 531 00:19:41,110 --> 00:19:39,679 up to five times a week sometimes in the 532 00:19:43,830 --> 00:19:41,120 middle of her work day 533 00:19:44,870 --> 00:19:43,840 and of course this was very disruptive 534 00:19:48,070 --> 00:19:44,880 the question is 535 00:19:50,470 --> 00:19:48,080 why was so much intervention necessary 536 00:19:53,029 --> 00:19:50,480 well cherie wilde also goes on to 537 00:19:55,190 --> 00:19:53,039 understand why this was the case 538 00:19:57,350 --> 00:19:55,200 it was because she needed to remember 539 00:19:59,029 --> 00:19:57,360 she needed to be woken up in some ways 540 00:20:01,750 --> 00:19:59,039 to a reality she once 541 00:20:03,270 --> 00:20:01,760 understood and had agreed to had in fact 542 00:20:05,830 --> 00:20:03,280 volunteered for 543 00:20:06,310 --> 00:20:05,840 but had forgotten over time when she 544 00:20:08,549 --> 00:20:06,320 became 545 00:20:10,310 --> 00:20:08,559 swallowed up by the density of this 546 00:20:12,549 --> 00:20:10,320 world 547 00:20:13,590 --> 00:20:12,559 overall she says there are three things 548 00:20:16,710 --> 00:20:13,600 that these others 549 00:20:19,190 --> 00:20:16,720 stress to her number one we are 550 00:20:20,310 --> 00:20:19,200 all one with the creator that is most 551 00:20:22,070 --> 00:20:20,320 important 552 00:20:23,510 --> 00:20:22,080 if you heard another living thing you're 553 00:20:26,789 --> 00:20:23,520 hurting yourself 554 00:20:28,789 --> 00:20:26,799 there is no separation and she goes on 555 00:20:30,149 --> 00:20:28,799 to say this was the 1950s when she was 556 00:20:32,230 --> 00:20:30,159 going to sunday school and this was 557 00:20:34,470 --> 00:20:32,240 quite a revelation to her 558 00:20:36,789 --> 00:20:34,480 number two we are multi-dimensional 559 00:20:39,990 --> 00:20:36,799 beings existing on more than one level 560 00:20:41,830 --> 00:20:40,000 simultaneously moving towards unity 561 00:20:44,310 --> 00:20:41,840 consciousness 562 00:20:45,830 --> 00:20:44,320 number three it's important to monitor 563 00:20:48,390 --> 00:20:45,840 your thoughts 564 00:20:50,390 --> 00:20:48,400 this practice actually which is more 565 00:20:52,390 --> 00:20:50,400 common now and discussed by people like 566 00:20:54,950 --> 00:20:52,400 eckhart tolle and many other 567 00:20:56,710 --> 00:20:54,960 spiritual teachers was fairly uncommon 568 00:20:59,029 --> 00:20:56,720 in the 1950s 569 00:21:01,029 --> 00:20:59,039 but by doing what she was taught by dah 570 00:21:02,149 --> 00:21:01,039 and others it kept her from depression 571 00:21:06,390 --> 00:21:02,159 and anxiety 572 00:21:10,630 --> 00:21:08,470 now as we've already said it's important 573 00:21:13,270 --> 00:21:10,640 to listen to experiencers they have the 574 00:21:15,430 --> 00:21:13,280 message we all need to hear 575 00:21:16,310 --> 00:21:15,440 and as we begin to listen to different 576 00:21:19,029 --> 00:21:16,320 experiences 577 00:21:21,669 --> 00:21:19,039 and compare the different messages we 578 00:21:23,669 --> 00:21:21,679 notice a cohesion taking place 579 00:21:25,510 --> 00:21:23,679 what sherry wilde is saying fits well 580 00:21:26,630 --> 00:21:25,520 with the general consensus narrative 581 00:21:28,830 --> 00:21:26,640 that is emerging 582 00:21:30,070 --> 00:21:28,840 from a large segment of the experiencer 583 00:21:33,350 --> 00:21:30,080 community 584 00:21:34,230 --> 00:21:33,360 and what is the message number one life 585 00:21:37,190 --> 00:21:34,240 is spiritual 586 00:21:38,230 --> 00:21:37,200 not just materialist and this 3d plus 587 00:21:41,190 --> 00:21:38,240 one existence 588 00:21:42,310 --> 00:21:41,200 is a stage play of sorts where humans 589 00:21:45,669 --> 00:21:42,320 being human 590 00:21:47,029 --> 00:21:45,679 is only part of the story also 591 00:21:49,270 --> 00:21:47,039 everything is connected 592 00:21:50,230 --> 00:21:49,280 and everything is ultimately one 593 00:21:52,789 --> 00:21:50,240 separation 594 00:21:55,190 --> 00:21:52,799 is an illusion again taught in 595 00:21:57,190 --> 00:21:55,200 traditions like buddhism 596 00:21:58,950 --> 00:21:57,200 again another important part of the 597 00:22:01,430 --> 00:21:58,960 message is we are energy 598 00:22:01,990 --> 00:22:01,440 evolving and maturing as part of an 599 00:22:08,070 --> 00:22:02,000 alive 600 00:22:11,990 --> 00:22:10,390 now while sherry wilde has come to see 601 00:22:14,390 --> 00:22:12,000 her own experiences as 602 00:22:15,190 --> 00:22:14,400 deeply transformative and loving in 603 00:22:17,990 --> 00:22:15,200 nature 604 00:22:19,990 --> 00:22:18,000 with positive benevolent et's that she's 605 00:22:22,710 --> 00:22:20,000 known over lifetimes 606 00:22:23,669 --> 00:22:22,720 she makes an important distinction she 607 00:22:26,149 --> 00:22:23,679 believes that 608 00:22:26,870 --> 00:22:26,159 others sometimes do have experiences 609 00:22:29,750 --> 00:22:26,880 with less 610 00:22:32,230 --> 00:22:29,760 mature entities and these experiences 611 00:22:33,669 --> 00:22:32,240 can be perceived as negative 612 00:22:36,870 --> 00:22:33,679 and this is important for us to 613 00:22:38,870 --> 00:22:36,880 acknowledge while the consensus 614 00:22:40,470 --> 00:22:38,880 messaging coming out of the experiencer 615 00:22:42,470 --> 00:22:40,480 community is that 616 00:22:43,830 --> 00:22:42,480 almost all of these experiences are 617 00:22:46,390 --> 00:22:43,840 ultimately positive 618 00:22:47,669 --> 00:22:46,400 in the long run given enough time and 619 00:22:49,990 --> 00:22:47,679 perspective 620 00:22:51,750 --> 00:22:50,000 there is a subset that are perhaps 621 00:22:54,149 --> 00:22:51,760 negative that for some people 622 00:22:55,830 --> 00:22:54,159 even with time and reflection they do 623 00:22:58,230 --> 00:22:55,840 not come to see their experiences 624 00:22:59,110 --> 00:22:58,240 as positive and that's what sherry wilde 625 00:23:01,510 --> 00:22:59,120 is getting at 626 00:23:03,430 --> 00:23:01,520 in describing these other ets these 627 00:23:04,390 --> 00:23:03,440 other beings that are perhaps less 628 00:23:06,630 --> 00:23:04,400 mature 629 00:23:08,149 --> 00:23:06,640 there is a full spectrum here people 630 00:23:09,909 --> 00:23:08,159 just like there is in humanity 631 00:23:14,710 --> 00:23:09,919 and the animal kingdom we shouldn't 632 00:23:17,909 --> 00:23:17,110 that said again the majority of people's 633 00:23:20,390 --> 00:23:17,919 experiences 634 00:23:21,350 --> 00:23:20,400 are positive in the long run even though 635 00:23:23,590 --> 00:23:21,360 initially 636 00:23:25,510 --> 00:23:23,600 they are deeply traumatic for the very 637 00:23:29,190 --> 00:23:25,520 reasons we've just described 638 00:23:33,110 --> 00:23:31,190 now in conclusion i'd like to share a 639 00:23:33,669 --> 00:23:33,120 few additional thoughts that come to 640 00:23:35,830 --> 00:23:33,679 mind 641 00:23:37,830 --> 00:23:35,840 in light of experiences like that of 642 00:23:40,310 --> 00:23:37,840 sherry wilde 643 00:23:42,310 --> 00:23:40,320 number one we seem to demand that 644 00:23:45,029 --> 00:23:42,320 reality live up to our conceptions 645 00:23:47,029 --> 00:23:45,039 and expectations of it when the data 646 00:23:49,510 --> 00:23:47,039 clearly points in new directions 647 00:23:50,870 --> 00:23:49,520 as is the case with the ufo phenomenon 648 00:23:53,909 --> 00:23:50,880 and the abduction 649 00:23:55,669 --> 00:23:53,919 contact phenomenon often because it 650 00:23:58,390 --> 00:23:55,679 involves complexity 651 00:23:59,750 --> 00:23:58,400 we simply look away as a culture as a 652 00:24:01,990 --> 00:23:59,760 civilization 653 00:24:06,230 --> 00:24:02,000 or conclude that the data must be wrong 654 00:24:09,909 --> 00:24:08,070 all that is to say there is more 655 00:24:11,590 --> 00:24:09,919 consensus and cohesion 656 00:24:13,669 --> 00:24:11,600 to the narrative emerging from the 657 00:24:17,990 --> 00:24:13,679 experiencer community as a whole 658 00:24:20,149 --> 00:24:18,000 than many people are willing to admit 659 00:24:21,830 --> 00:24:20,159 and speaking of part of the consensus 660 00:24:22,470 --> 00:24:21,840 message coming out of the experiencer 661 00:24:25,269 --> 00:24:22,480 community 662 00:24:26,549 --> 00:24:25,279 and sherry wilde discusses this as well 663 00:24:28,950 --> 00:24:26,559 there does seem to be 664 00:24:31,029 --> 00:24:28,960 added intervention that came online at 665 00:24:33,110 --> 00:24:31,039 the dawn of the atomic era 666 00:24:35,269 --> 00:24:33,120 this was a much more significant and 667 00:24:38,070 --> 00:24:35,279 potentially catastrophic 668 00:24:38,710 --> 00:24:38,080 time in civilization than many people 669 00:24:41,750 --> 00:24:38,720 realize 670 00:24:45,990 --> 00:24:44,149 as we proceed with our day-to-day lives 671 00:24:48,710 --> 00:24:46,000 and our day-to-day needs with our 672 00:24:49,430 --> 00:24:48,720 families and our jobs and whatnot we 673 00:24:51,669 --> 00:24:49,440 sometimes 674 00:24:53,430 --> 00:24:51,679 seem to be asleep at the wheel in terms 675 00:24:54,630 --> 00:24:53,440 of how close we have come to 676 00:24:56,549 --> 00:24:54,640 annihilation 677 00:24:58,549 --> 00:24:56,559 whether that has been nuclear weapons in 678 00:25:01,110 --> 00:24:58,559 the past and still today 679 00:25:02,390 --> 00:25:01,120 or the onset of things like bioweapons 680 00:25:07,269 --> 00:25:02,400 which is more recent 681 00:25:11,350 --> 00:25:09,510 in other words this helps to explain the 682 00:25:13,430 --> 00:25:11,360 uptick in the intervention 683 00:25:15,750 --> 00:25:13,440 in the lives of human beings by these 684 00:25:17,909 --> 00:25:15,760 others 685 00:25:20,310 --> 00:25:17,919 and one final reflection of a personal 686 00:25:22,789 --> 00:25:20,320 nature that i'd like to share 687 00:25:24,470 --> 00:25:22,799 the impending singularity that is coming 688 00:25:26,630 --> 00:25:24,480 as well as the deeply profound 689 00:25:28,950 --> 00:25:26,640 philosophical questions emerging around 690 00:25:31,029 --> 00:25:28,960 the nature of life and being 691 00:25:32,870 --> 00:25:31,039 that we're about to be confronted with 692 00:25:35,750 --> 00:25:32,880 are potentially civilization 693 00:25:37,669 --> 00:25:35,760 ending events if not dealt with with a 694 00:25:38,070 --> 00:25:37,679 greater degree of wisdom than we've thus 695 00:25:41,830 --> 00:25:38,080 far 696 00:25:43,510 --> 00:25:41,840 shown up until now i've been content to 697 00:25:45,909 --> 00:25:43,520 let the natural process 698 00:25:47,750 --> 00:25:45,919 of consciousness evolution as described 699 00:25:50,710 --> 00:25:47,760 in the podcast episode i did 700 00:25:52,149 --> 00:25:50,720 on spiral dynamics for instance to take 701 00:25:54,549 --> 00:25:52,159 its course 702 00:25:56,549 --> 00:25:54,559 but more recently i feel like it's been 703 00:25:57,510 --> 00:25:56,559 impressed upon me that the tipping point 704 00:25:59,830 --> 00:25:57,520 we're reaching 705 00:26:02,310 --> 00:25:59,840 is far more significant than many of us 706 00:26:04,870 --> 00:26:02,320 realize 707 00:26:05,350 --> 00:26:04,880 perhaps every generation comes to see 708 00:26:08,230 --> 00:26:05,360 itself 709 00:26:09,990 --> 00:26:08,240 as living in times of great import when 710 00:26:13,110 --> 00:26:10,000 the very future of the human 711 00:26:14,630 --> 00:26:13,120 race is at stake that feeling is 712 00:26:17,909 --> 00:26:14,640 certainly no different for 713 00:26:18,950 --> 00:26:17,919 us but perhaps this time it really is 714 00:26:21,190 --> 00:26:18,960 different 715 00:26:23,269 --> 00:26:21,200 perhaps that's exactly why the others 716 00:26:26,630 --> 00:26:23,279 have upped their level of contact 717 00:26:28,870 --> 00:26:26,640 and intervention within our lifetimes 718 00:26:29,990 --> 00:26:28,880 based on their clear technological and 719 00:26:32,870 --> 00:26:30,000 more importantly 720 00:26:33,830 --> 00:26:32,880 consciousness superiority over us we 721 00:26:37,750 --> 00:26:33,840 would do well 722 00:26:41,430 --> 00:26:40,310 and on that note we've come to the close 723 00:26:43,830 --> 00:26:41,440 of another edition 724 00:26:45,909 --> 00:26:43,840 of the point of convergence podcast 725 00:26:48,549 --> 00:26:45,919 let's keep the conversation going 726 00:26:51,190 --> 00:26:48,559 and growing please share this show with 727 00:26:53,510 --> 00:26:51,200 others you think would be interested 728 00:26:56,070 --> 00:26:53,520 but until next time from deep within the
