1 00:00:02,830 --> 00:00:08,230 [Music] 2 00:00:12,070 --> 00:00:09,030 hello 3 00:00:14,150 --> 00:00:12,080 and welcome to episode number 23 of the 4 00:00:18,710 --> 00:00:14,160 point of convergence podcast 5 00:00:21,830 --> 00:00:18,720 as always i'm your host exo academian 6 00:00:24,710 --> 00:00:21,840 picture the following scene if you will 7 00:00:26,390 --> 00:00:24,720 witnesses on the ground gasp in awe as a 8 00:00:29,029 --> 00:00:26,400 dazzling spherical light 9 00:00:30,150 --> 00:00:29,039 moves silently across the sky 10 00:00:32,389 --> 00:00:30,160 mesmerizing 11 00:00:34,709 --> 00:00:32,399 it shimmers as it rocks back and forth 12 00:00:37,590 --> 00:00:34,719 descending like a falling leaf 13 00:00:39,030 --> 00:00:37,600 those watching below are frozen in place 14 00:00:41,430 --> 00:00:39,040 unable to move 15 00:00:44,150 --> 00:00:41,440 though if that's due to sheer wonder or 16 00:00:47,910 --> 00:00:44,160 because of some strange paralytic effect 17 00:00:50,310 --> 00:00:47,920 of the object itself no one is sure 18 00:00:52,150 --> 00:00:50,320 the object grows to be so bright that it 19 00:00:53,670 --> 00:00:52,160 seems to dim the very light of the 20 00:00:55,670 --> 00:00:53,680 noonday sun 21 00:00:58,389 --> 00:00:55,680 to the point where the moon and stars 22 00:01:00,869 --> 00:00:58,399 become visible in the background 23 00:01:03,670 --> 00:01:00,879 a rushing wind is felt though the trees 24 00:01:06,070 --> 00:01:03,680 do not appear to sway in its wake 25 00:01:08,230 --> 00:01:06,080 and the temperature drops noticeably 26 00:01:11,670 --> 00:01:08,240 almost as if the seasons have changed in 27 00:01:15,670 --> 00:01:14,550 and then almost as quickly as it began 28 00:01:17,830 --> 00:01:15,680 it ends 29 00:01:18,950 --> 00:01:17,840 the dazzling object fades to a single 30 00:01:21,590 --> 00:01:18,960 point in the sky 31 00:01:23,190 --> 00:01:21,600 and then disappears altogether replaced 32 00:01:25,749 --> 00:01:23,200 by the glaring light of the sun 33 00:01:27,270 --> 00:01:25,759 and the onrushing stifling heat of 34 00:01:28,789 --> 00:01:27,280 midday 35 00:01:30,310 --> 00:01:28,799 the witnesses soon regained their 36 00:01:32,230 --> 00:01:30,320 ability to move their limbs 37 00:01:34,149 --> 00:01:32,240 though their wits will take much longer 38 00:01:36,149 --> 00:01:34,159 to recover 39 00:01:38,870 --> 00:01:36,159 the news eventually makes its way around 40 00:01:41,590 --> 00:01:38,880 the world enrapturing the imagination 41 00:01:43,749 --> 00:01:41,600 of a curious public and the question 42 00:01:45,830 --> 00:01:43,759 inevitably rises 43 00:01:47,190 --> 00:01:45,840 what have these chosen observers just 44 00:01:49,190 --> 00:01:47,200 witnessed 45 00:01:51,270 --> 00:01:49,200 from one perspective this is clearly an 46 00:01:53,830 --> 00:01:51,280 event of miraculous wonder 47 00:01:54,789 --> 00:01:53,840 a divine encounter a sign from the 48 00:01:57,270 --> 00:01:54,799 heavens 49 00:01:58,870 --> 00:01:57,280 a revelation from the lord himself 50 00:02:03,590 --> 00:01:58,880 intended as a warning of 51 00:02:07,270 --> 00:02:05,590 from another point of view this event 52 00:02:08,070 --> 00:02:07,280 has all the hallmarks of another 53 00:02:11,190 --> 00:02:08,080 phenomenon 54 00:02:13,589 --> 00:02:11,200 altogether one associated with vehicles 55 00:02:15,750 --> 00:02:13,599 hypothesized to be spacecraft 56 00:02:16,710 --> 00:02:15,760 originating from some far-flung star 57 00:02:19,270 --> 00:02:16,720 system 58 00:02:21,190 --> 00:02:19,280 or perhaps from some mirror dimension 59 00:02:21,670 --> 00:02:21,200 which have traversed the invisible gap 60 00:02:24,630 --> 00:02:21,680 between 61 00:02:27,350 --> 00:02:24,640 worlds in an instant demonstrating the 62 00:02:29,350 --> 00:02:27,360 sophisticated nature of a technology 63 00:02:32,150 --> 00:02:29,360 that makes human engineering look like a 64 00:02:34,790 --> 00:02:32,160 play with sticks and stones 65 00:02:35,509 --> 00:02:34,800 the very same event the very same data 66 00:02:37,110 --> 00:02:35,519 set 67 00:02:39,030 --> 00:02:37,120 leads one group of people to 68 00:02:40,150 --> 00:02:39,040 wholeheartedly and without a parent 69 00:02:42,630 --> 00:02:40,160 reservation 70 00:02:44,390 --> 00:02:42,640 assume one explanation is the only real 71 00:02:46,070 --> 00:02:44,400 possibility 72 00:02:48,229 --> 00:02:46,080 while a different group comes to the 73 00:02:49,030 --> 00:02:48,239 other conclusion with just as much 74 00:02:52,070 --> 00:02:49,040 conviction 75 00:02:54,790 --> 00:02:52,080 and fervor but who's right 76 00:02:56,710 --> 00:02:54,800 and is it necessarily one or the other 77 00:02:57,350 --> 00:02:56,720 or could it perhaps be some blend of the 78 00:02:59,270 --> 00:02:57,360 two 79 00:03:01,910 --> 00:02:59,280 an event that is as much spiritual in 80 00:03:05,670 --> 00:03:01,920 nature as it is technological 81 00:03:07,589 --> 00:03:05,680 if such a thing was possible 82 00:03:10,309 --> 00:03:07,599 there are numerous events in human 83 00:03:12,550 --> 00:03:10,319 history some buried deep in the past 84 00:03:13,430 --> 00:03:12,560 like relics covered in centuries of 85 00:03:15,589 --> 00:03:13,440 sediment 86 00:03:16,710 --> 00:03:15,599 only reaching us as distorted echoes of 87 00:03:19,110 --> 00:03:16,720 long ago 88 00:03:20,790 --> 00:03:19,120 and others more recent perhaps even 89 00:03:21,830 --> 00:03:20,800 contemporaneous with this very 90 00:03:23,910 --> 00:03:21,840 discussion 91 00:03:26,229 --> 00:03:23,920 that bear a striking resemblance to the 92 00:03:28,470 --> 00:03:26,239 event i just described 93 00:03:30,390 --> 00:03:28,480 the so-called miracle of the sun that 94 00:03:31,270 --> 00:03:30,400 occurred in the small village of fatima 95 00:03:33,670 --> 00:03:31,280 portugal 96 00:03:34,710 --> 00:03:33,680 is perhaps the most famous of all these 97 00:03:38,070 --> 00:03:34,720 recent events 98 00:03:39,589 --> 00:03:38,080 of this type and magnitude the wonders 99 00:03:41,430 --> 00:03:39,599 observed at fatima 100 00:03:44,229 --> 00:03:41,440 occurred over a period of months and 101 00:03:46,390 --> 00:03:44,239 years in a rising tide of spectacle 102 00:03:49,270 --> 00:03:46,400 that resulted in a crescendo that was 103 00:03:51,350 --> 00:03:49,280 witnessed by tens of thousands 104 00:03:53,110 --> 00:03:51,360 the catholic church ultimately declared 105 00:03:55,190 --> 00:03:53,120 these events to be miraculous 106 00:03:56,949 --> 00:03:55,200 nothing less than a visitation of the 107 00:03:59,030 --> 00:03:56,959 historical virgin mary 108 00:04:00,309 --> 00:03:59,040 the very mother of god from their 109 00:04:02,229 --> 00:04:00,319 perspective 110 00:04:04,229 --> 00:04:02,239 blessing the faithful with her heavenly 111 00:04:06,550 --> 00:04:04,239 presence while calling the world 112 00:04:08,309 --> 00:04:06,560 to repent and to turn to the one true 113 00:04:11,910 --> 00:04:08,319 god in order to avoid 114 00:04:13,910 --> 00:04:11,920 eternal damnation but to ufologists 115 00:04:15,589 --> 00:04:13,920 especially those particularly familiar 116 00:04:17,749 --> 00:04:15,599 with the historical data 117 00:04:18,629 --> 00:04:17,759 the events of fatima bear a struggling 118 00:04:20,870 --> 00:04:18,639 resemblance 119 00:04:24,070 --> 00:04:20,880 to countless historical sightings of 120 00:04:26,230 --> 00:04:24,080 so-called unidentified flying objects 121 00:04:27,350 --> 00:04:26,240 and to reported close encounters with 122 00:04:30,550 --> 00:04:27,360 non-human 123 00:04:32,230 --> 00:04:30,560 alien intelligence how are we to make 124 00:04:32,950 --> 00:04:32,240 sense of these remarkable kinds of 125 00:04:35,030 --> 00:04:32,960 events 126 00:04:38,070 --> 00:04:35,040 and of the vastly different ways human 127 00:04:40,469 --> 00:04:38,080 beings try to make sense of them 128 00:04:42,629 --> 00:04:40,479 the events at fatima and the profoundly 129 00:04:43,590 --> 00:04:42,639 confounding questions that arise in 130 00:04:46,710 --> 00:04:43,600 their wake 131 00:04:56,070 --> 00:04:46,720 are the topic of this the 23rd episode 132 00:04:58,629 --> 00:04:56,080 of the point of convergence podcast 133 00:04:59,990 --> 00:04:58,639 as i mentioned in today's introduction 134 00:05:02,629 --> 00:05:00,000 the events at fatima 135 00:05:05,110 --> 00:05:02,639 are just one example amongst many where 136 00:05:06,150 --> 00:05:05,120 we see a crossover between the ufo 137 00:05:09,510 --> 00:05:06,160 phenomenon 138 00:05:10,950 --> 00:05:09,520 and religious history but this one is 139 00:05:13,270 --> 00:05:10,960 particularly useful 140 00:05:14,950 --> 00:05:13,280 because it is a relatively recent case 141 00:05:15,430 --> 00:05:14,960 and because there is a lot of historical 142 00:05:18,790 --> 00:05:15,440 data 143 00:05:20,790 --> 00:05:18,800 to comb through it's also a particularly 144 00:05:21,909 --> 00:05:20,800 interesting case as it pertains to 145 00:05:24,870 --> 00:05:21,919 today's discussion 146 00:05:26,070 --> 00:05:24,880 about religion and the ufo phenomenon 147 00:05:28,230 --> 00:05:26,080 because the largest 148 00:05:29,350 --> 00:05:28,240 and most influential religious body in 149 00:05:31,830 --> 00:05:29,360 the world 150 00:05:32,629 --> 00:05:31,840 namely the catholic church looked into 151 00:05:35,590 --> 00:05:32,639 this case 152 00:05:39,189 --> 00:05:35,600 for years in fact before declaring it a 153 00:05:41,029 --> 00:05:39,199 modern day miracle 154 00:05:42,230 --> 00:05:41,039 and again as i stated in the 155 00:05:44,550 --> 00:05:42,240 introduction 156 00:05:45,430 --> 00:05:44,560 most ufologists who've looked closely at 157 00:05:47,270 --> 00:05:45,440 this case 158 00:05:51,749 --> 00:05:47,280 are just as convinced that this is 159 00:05:54,150 --> 00:05:51,759 actually a case of the ufo phenomenon 160 00:05:55,510 --> 00:05:54,160 now jacques vallee who we mention often 161 00:05:57,430 --> 00:05:55,520 on this podcast 162 00:05:59,590 --> 00:05:57,440 wrote a book called dimensions in which 163 00:06:01,430 --> 00:05:59,600 he dedicates an entire chapter 164 00:06:03,590 --> 00:06:01,440 to the events at fatima and other 165 00:06:06,230 --> 00:06:03,600 religious events of this kind 166 00:06:08,950 --> 00:06:06,240 that bear striking crossover and 167 00:06:10,950 --> 00:06:08,960 parallels with the ufo phenomenon 168 00:06:13,029 --> 00:06:10,960 and now i'd like to read a quote from 169 00:06:15,830 --> 00:06:13,039 ballet's chapter 170 00:06:17,990 --> 00:06:15,840 what happened at fatima quote many 171 00:06:20,390 --> 00:06:18,000 descriptions of ufo phenomena 172 00:06:21,350 --> 00:06:20,400 force us to deal simultaneously with two 173 00:06:23,670 --> 00:06:21,360 categories 174 00:06:24,390 --> 00:06:23,680 we always attempt to separate the 175 00:06:29,270 --> 00:06:24,400 physical 176 00:06:31,749 --> 00:06:29,280 or technical and the spiritual or divine 177 00:06:33,430 --> 00:06:31,759 numerous witnesses in their statements 178 00:06:35,510 --> 00:06:33,440 after a close encounter 179 00:06:37,590 --> 00:06:35,520 claim bluntly that the experience of the 180 00:06:38,710 --> 00:06:37,600 phenomenon has a religious meaning to 181 00:06:41,430 --> 00:06:38,720 them 182 00:06:43,189 --> 00:06:41,440 perhaps it does perhaps we need not only 183 00:06:45,909 --> 00:06:43,199 a scientific breakthrough here 184 00:06:48,790 --> 00:06:45,919 but a consciousness breakthrough as well 185 00:06:51,510 --> 00:06:48,800 a global historical grasp of the beliefs 186 00:06:52,950 --> 00:06:51,520 materialistic as well as idealistic 187 00:06:56,390 --> 00:06:52,960 among which we have been 188 00:06:57,830 --> 00:06:56,400 groping for 10 000 years the famous 189 00:06:59,589 --> 00:06:57,840 apparitions at fatima 190 00:07:00,870 --> 00:06:59,599 offer a historical example of the 191 00:07:03,909 --> 00:07:00,880 religious dimension 192 00:07:05,110 --> 00:07:03,919 of ufo encounters the case is a 193 00:07:07,110 --> 00:07:05,120 celebrated one 194 00:07:09,029 --> 00:07:07,120 yet i am prepared to wager that few 195 00:07:11,990 --> 00:07:09,039 americans know the full story 196 00:07:13,830 --> 00:07:12,000 of what happened in 1917 near the small 197 00:07:16,469 --> 00:07:13,840 portuguese town 198 00:07:18,790 --> 00:07:16,479 i suspect that even fewer realize that 199 00:07:20,629 --> 00:07:18,800 the entire sequence of observations 200 00:07:22,070 --> 00:07:20,639 of an entity thought to be the virgin 201 00:07:24,390 --> 00:07:22,080 mary had begun 202 00:07:25,589 --> 00:07:24,400 two years previously with a fairly 203 00:07:28,870 --> 00:07:25,599 classical sequence 204 00:07:31,110 --> 00:07:28,880 of ufo sightings 205 00:07:33,430 --> 00:07:31,120 if we accept the interpretation given of 206 00:07:35,270 --> 00:07:33,440 fatima by the catholic church 207 00:07:37,510 --> 00:07:35,280 we are dealing with a phenomenon that 208 00:07:38,390 --> 00:07:37,520 cannot be explained either as a physical 209 00:07:41,189 --> 00:07:38,400 effect 210 00:07:42,309 --> 00:07:41,199 or as an illusion in its decision of 211 00:07:44,950 --> 00:07:42,319 1930 212 00:07:47,270 --> 00:07:44,960 arrived at after 13 years of painstaking 213 00:07:49,589 --> 00:07:47,280 investigations by many scholars 214 00:07:53,110 --> 00:07:49,599 the church states that the solar 215 00:07:55,350 --> 00:07:53,120 phenomenon of the 13th of october 1917 216 00:07:56,550 --> 00:07:55,360 described in the press of the time was 217 00:07:58,469 --> 00:07:56,560 most marvelous 218 00:08:00,150 --> 00:07:58,479 and caused the greatest impression on 219 00:08:03,110 --> 00:08:00,160 those who had the happiness 220 00:08:05,029 --> 00:08:03,120 of witnessing it this phenomenon which 221 00:08:07,350 --> 00:08:05,039 no astronomical observatory 222 00:08:08,309 --> 00:08:07,360 registered and which therefore was not 223 00:08:10,150 --> 00:08:08,319 natural 224 00:08:12,869 --> 00:08:10,160 was witnessed by persons of all 225 00:08:15,510 --> 00:08:12,879 categories and of all social classes 226 00:08:17,510 --> 00:08:15,520 believers and unbelievers journalists of 227 00:08:20,710 --> 00:08:17,520 the principal portuguese newspapers 228 00:08:23,270 --> 00:08:20,720 and even by persons some miles away 229 00:08:24,830 --> 00:08:23,280 facts which annul any explanation of 230 00:08:28,230 --> 00:08:24,840 collective 231 00:08:29,990 --> 00:08:28,240 illusion and that's the end of the quote 232 00:08:32,630 --> 00:08:30,000 from the catholic church 233 00:08:33,350 --> 00:08:32,640 jacques continues this miracle he puts 234 00:08:35,909 --> 00:08:33,360 in quotes 235 00:08:37,190 --> 00:08:35,919 the reader will note had been predicted 236 00:08:39,589 --> 00:08:37,200 several months before 237 00:08:40,790 --> 00:08:39,599 by three illiterate children after their 238 00:08:43,909 --> 00:08:40,800 vision of a woman 239 00:08:45,990 --> 00:08:43,919 in a bright glow quote unquote she had 240 00:08:48,310 --> 00:08:46,000 not said that she was the virgin mary 241 00:08:49,190 --> 00:08:48,320 she had simply stated that she was from 242 00:08:51,190 --> 00:08:49,200 heaven 243 00:08:52,710 --> 00:08:51,200 and instructed them to return every 244 00:08:55,190 --> 00:08:52,720 month until october 245 00:08:56,230 --> 00:08:55,200 when a public miracle would take place 246 00:08:59,670 --> 00:08:56,240 so quote 247 00:09:01,110 --> 00:08:59,680 everyone may believe unquote continuing 248 00:09:03,190 --> 00:09:01,120 with jock's quote 249 00:09:05,509 --> 00:09:03,200 the events at fatima involve luminous 250 00:09:08,150 --> 00:09:05,519 spheres lights with strange colors 251 00:09:09,350 --> 00:09:08,160 a feeling of heat waves all physical 252 00:09:12,710 --> 00:09:09,360 characteristics 253 00:09:15,269 --> 00:09:12,720 commonly associated with ufos 254 00:09:16,949 --> 00:09:15,279 they even include the typical falling 255 00:09:19,590 --> 00:09:16,959 leaf motion of the saucer 256 00:09:20,230 --> 00:09:19,600 zigzagging through the air they also 257 00:09:22,230 --> 00:09:20,240 encompass 258 00:09:23,910 --> 00:09:22,240 prophecy and a loss of ordinary 259 00:09:25,110 --> 00:09:23,920 consciousness on the part of the 260 00:09:26,470 --> 00:09:25,120 witnesses 261 00:09:28,870 --> 00:09:26,480 what we have called the psychic 262 00:09:32,790 --> 00:09:28,880 component of ufo sightings 263 00:09:34,389 --> 00:09:32,800 unquote and now i'd like to take some 264 00:09:36,550 --> 00:09:34,399 time to go through the events 265 00:09:37,590 --> 00:09:36,560 as they were reported by those who were 266 00:09:39,430 --> 00:09:37,600 present 267 00:09:42,230 --> 00:09:39,440 and i would just remind you of my 268 00:09:44,470 --> 00:09:42,240 comment from an earlier podcast episode 269 00:09:46,070 --> 00:09:44,480 that any event is an interpreted 270 00:09:48,310 --> 00:09:46,080 experience 271 00:09:50,949 --> 00:09:48,320 with that in mind remember that the 272 00:09:54,070 --> 00:09:50,959 majority of the population in that area 273 00:09:55,670 --> 00:09:54,080 in and around fatima were catholic and 274 00:09:57,910 --> 00:09:55,680 that didn't just inform how they 275 00:10:00,150 --> 00:09:57,920 worshipped on sunday mornings 276 00:10:01,509 --> 00:10:00,160 now it informed and gave birth to their 277 00:10:04,230 --> 00:10:01,519 entire world view 278 00:10:06,389 --> 00:10:04,240 the very way they would see the world it 279 00:10:09,590 --> 00:10:06,399 would define what they see as possible 280 00:10:09,990 --> 00:10:09,600 and impossible and the miracle of the 281 00:10:12,470 --> 00:10:10,000 sun 282 00:10:13,670 --> 00:10:12,480 also known as the miracle of fatima was 283 00:10:19,350 --> 00:10:13,680 a series of events 284 00:10:22,389 --> 00:10:19,360 that we're going to discuss 285 00:10:24,470 --> 00:10:22,399 and as jacques valet alluded to in his 286 00:10:26,470 --> 00:10:24,480 chapter we quoted from 287 00:10:27,829 --> 00:10:26,480 there were more events in fatima than 288 00:10:30,230 --> 00:10:27,839 most people realize 289 00:10:32,150 --> 00:10:30,240 it was a complex event and included more 290 00:10:35,350 --> 00:10:32,160 than one entity 291 00:10:36,470 --> 00:10:35,360 and what people saw differed as well 292 00:10:38,790 --> 00:10:36,480 but let's go through some of the 293 00:10:40,710 --> 00:10:38,800 highlights from the perspective of the 294 00:10:42,630 --> 00:10:40,720 typical point of view 295 00:10:43,829 --> 00:10:42,640 first we have the angelic apparitions of 296 00:10:45,870 --> 00:10:43,839 fatima 297 00:10:47,350 --> 00:10:45,880 the first angelic visit in the spring of 298 00:10:49,430 --> 00:10:47,360 1916 299 00:10:51,590 --> 00:10:49,440 involved an angel teaching shepherd 300 00:10:53,430 --> 00:10:51,600 children how to pray 301 00:10:55,269 --> 00:10:53,440 the second angelic visit was in the 302 00:10:57,430 --> 00:10:55,279 summer of that same year 303 00:10:59,509 --> 00:10:57,440 and here the angel revealed himself as 304 00:11:01,269 --> 00:10:59,519 quote the angel of portugal 305 00:11:02,630 --> 00:11:01,279 and motivated the children to continue 306 00:11:05,030 --> 00:11:02,640 praying and 307 00:11:06,870 --> 00:11:05,040 to offer sacrifice to their lord with 308 00:11:08,870 --> 00:11:06,880 their suffering 309 00:11:11,670 --> 00:11:08,880 the third angelic visit was in the 310 00:11:13,590 --> 00:11:11,680 autumn of 1916. 311 00:11:15,670 --> 00:11:13,600 here the angel brought communion to the 312 00:11:16,870 --> 00:11:15,680 shepherd children and asked them to make 313 00:11:18,550 --> 00:11:16,880 reparation 314 00:11:21,590 --> 00:11:18,560 for the crimes of all humanity 315 00:11:24,150 --> 00:11:21,600 specifically ungrateful men 316 00:11:26,069 --> 00:11:24,160 and then we have the marian apparitions 317 00:11:29,030 --> 00:11:26,079 marian is another term for 318 00:11:30,949 --> 00:11:29,040 mary just so you know the first marian 319 00:11:34,150 --> 00:11:30,959 apparition of fatima was in 320 00:11:36,550 --> 00:11:34,160 may 13 1917. here 321 00:11:38,069 --> 00:11:36,560 mary quote unquote asked the children to 322 00:11:41,269 --> 00:11:38,079 return on the 13th 323 00:11:42,710 --> 00:11:41,279 each month for six months consecutively 324 00:11:44,310 --> 00:11:42,720 and she tells the children that they 325 00:11:46,230 --> 00:11:44,320 will suffer much but they will 326 00:11:47,990 --> 00:11:46,240 ultimately reach heaven 327 00:11:49,269 --> 00:11:48,000 she then asks the children to say the 328 00:11:53,190 --> 00:11:49,279 rosary every day 329 00:11:56,949 --> 00:11:55,350 the second of the so-called marian 330 00:11:59,670 --> 00:11:56,959 apparitions of fatima 331 00:12:00,150 --> 00:11:59,680 took place on june 13th so exactly one 332 00:12:01,670 --> 00:12:00,160 month 333 00:12:04,069 --> 00:12:01,680 after what we just discussed that 334 00:12:06,550 --> 00:12:04,079 happened on may 13th 335 00:12:08,710 --> 00:12:06,560 here mary quote unquote asked the 336 00:12:11,509 --> 00:12:08,720 children to add the fatima prayer to the 337 00:12:13,829 --> 00:12:11,519 end of each decade of the rosary 338 00:12:15,110 --> 00:12:13,839 they ask for her to take them to heaven 339 00:12:17,910 -->

stay a while longer 343 00:12:25,350 --> 00:12:23,200 unquote 344 00:12:27,030 --> 00:12:25,360 and interestingly many people will point 345 00:12:29,509 --> 00:12:27,040 out here that 346 00:12:30,629 --> 00:12:29,519 indeed jacinta and francisco died 347 00:12:33,030 --> 00:12:30,639 relatively young 348 00:12:35,670 --> 00:12:33,040 whereas lucia lived to a relatively old 349 00:12:38,550 --> 00:12:35,680 age so this is an example of a supposed 350 00:12:40,629 --> 00:12:38,560 prophecy that came true 351 00:12:42,550 --> 00:12:40,639 next we have the third of the

course ufologists as i already talked 426 00:15:25,110 --> 00:15:22,639 about see the entire series of events 427 00:15:25,990 --> 00:15:25,120 quite differently this is what jacques 428 00:15:27,750 --> 00:15:26,000 valet says 429 00:15:29,910 --> 00:15:27,760 again in that chapter in his book 430 00:15:32,310 --> 00:15:29,920 dimensions quote 431 00:15:34,949 --> 00:15:32,320 such is the story of fatima as it can be 432 00:15:37,910 --> 00:15:34,959 reconstructed from reports of the time 433 00:15:40,550 --> 00:15:37,920 and from church investigations the final 434 00:15:42,470 --> 00:15:40,560 quote-unquote miracle had come at the 435 00:15:43,590 --> 00:15:42,480 culmination of a precise series of 436 00:15:46,310 --> 00:15:43,600 apparitions 437 00:15:47,910 --> 00:15:46,320 combined with contacts and messages that 438 00:15:51,110 --> 00:15:47,920 place it very clearly 439 00:15:52,550 --> 00:15:51,120 in my opinion in the perspective of ufo 440 00:15:55,030 --> 00:15:52,560 phenomena 441 00:15:56,550 --> 00:15:55,040 not only was a flying disc or globe 442 00:15:58,870 --> 00:15:56,560 consistently involved 443 00:16:01,189 --> 00:15:58,880 but its motion its falling leave 444 00:16:04,230 --> 00:16:01,199 trajectory its light effects 445 00:16:05,829 --> 00:16:04,240 the thunderclaps the buzzing sounds the 446 00:16:08,470 --> 00:16:05,839 strange fragrance 447 00:16:11,189 --> 00:16:08,480 the fall of quote unquote angel hair 448 00:16:13,350 --> 00:16:11,199 that dissolves upon reaching the ground 449 00:16:15,269 --> 00:16:13,360 the heat wave associated with a close 450 00:16:17,670 --> 00:16:15,279 approach of the disc 451 00:16:19,110 --> 00:16:17,680 all of these are frequent parameters of 452 00:16:21,990 --> 00:16:19,120 ufo sightings 453 00:16:23,030 --> 00:16:22,000 everywhere and so are the paralysis the 454 00:16:25,749 --> 00:16:23,040 amnesia 455 00:16:28,550 --> 00:16:25,759 the conversations and the healings 456 00:16:31,990 --> 00:16:31,110 now as you compare and contrast what i 457 00:16:33,829 --> 00:16:32,000 just read from 458 00:16:36,710 --> 00:16:33,839 jacques valet in terms of his 459 00:16:39,030 --> 00:16:36,720 perspective on what happened at fatima 460 00:16:39,829 --> 00:16:39,040 and compare that with what i read from 461 00:16:42,069 --> 00:16:39,839 the more 462 00:16:43,749 --> 00:16:42,079 catholic perspective you'd wonder if 463 00:16:44,310 --> 00:16:43,759 we're talking about the same series of 464 00:16:48,069 --> 00:16:44,320 events 465 00:16:49,749 --> 00:16:48,079 at all but indeed we are i'd now like to 466 00:16:51,749 --> 00:16:49,759 quote from another book that takes the 467 00:16:54,550 --> 00:16:51,759 perspective that what happened at fatima 468 00:16:56,550 --> 00:16:54,560 was an example of the ufo phenomenon 469 00:16:57,350 --> 00:16:56,560 this was written by two portuguese 470 00:17:00,230 --> 00:16:57,360 authors 471 00:17:01,030 --> 00:17:00,240 named joachim fernandez and fina de 472 00:17:03,350 --> 00:17:01,040 armata 473 00:17:05,669 --> 00:17:03,360 and it's been translated into english in 474 00:17:06,470 --> 00:17:05,679 the book heavenly lights the apparitions 475 00:17:09,669 --> 00:17:06,480 of fatima 476 00:17:11,590 --> 00:17:09,679 and the ufo phenomenon 477 00:17:13,270 --> 00:17:11,600 first let's talk about objects inside of 478 00:17:16,150 --> 00:17:13,280 clouds quote 479 00:17:18,710 --> 00:17:16,160 in fatima manuel marto saw some type of 480 00:17:20,789 --> 00:17:18,720 luminous globe spinning in the clouds 481 00:17:23,510 --> 00:17:20,799 his observation must not have been much 482 00:17:27,110 --> 00:17:23,520 different than that which a rosato saw 483 00:17:29,110 --> 00:17:27,120 over lisbon on december 10 1954 484 00:17:31,590 --> 00:17:29,120 he saw a silver ball that shone 485 00:17:34,789 --> 00:17:31,600 intensely among the high clouds 486 00:17:36,870 --> 00:17:34,799 if maria carriera had been rosado's 487 00:17:38,710 --> 00:17:36,880 side she would certainly have said that 488 00:17:39,830 --> 00:17:38,720 the cloud was a silver color 489 00:17:42,150 --> 00:17:39,840 and that it was something which 490 00:17:44,710 --> 00:17:42,160 reflected a lot mrs 491 00:17:45,190 --> 00:17:44,720 j said that a silver glow making a small 492 00:17:47,270 --> 00:17:45,200 turn 493 00:17:51,029 --> 00:17:47,280 appeared to cut through the clouds here 494 00:17:54,870 --> 00:17:52,870 so what the authors are doing in this 495 00:17:55,909 --> 00:17:54,880 portion of the book is basically giving 496 00:17:58,950 --> 00:17:55,919 other examples 497 00:18:00,150 --> 00:17:58,960 other historical examples of events even 498 00:18:03,029 --> 00:18:00,160 in and around 499 00:18:04,630 --> 00:18:03,039 portugal that mirror what was observed 500 00:18:06,630 --> 00:18:04,640 at fatima 501 00:18:08,390 --> 00:18:06,640 and now they go on to discuss something 502 00:18:11,190 --> 00:18:08,400 that happened from space 503 00:18:13,510 --> 00:18:11,200 that also has a parallel this is from a 504 00:18:14,789 --> 00:18:13,520 section called in orbit around earth as 505 00:18:18,549 --> 00:18:14,799 seen from skylab 506 00:18:20,950 --> 00:18:18,559 2. quote a frequent observation that has 507 00:18:23,110 --> 00:18:20,960 been made pertinent to our investigation 508 00:18:24,470 --> 00:18:23,120 is that of objects spinning around their 509 00:18:26,630 --> 00:18:24,480 own axes 510 00:18:28,070 --> 00:18:26,640 although it makes no reference to clouds 511 00:18:29,669 --> 00:18:28,080 it is worth citing 512 00:18:31,909 --> 00:18:29,679 the following case that involved 513 00:18:34,950 --> 00:18:31,919 american astronauts who witnessed an 514 00:18:38,230 --> 00:18:34,960 unknown object far above our blue planet 515 00:18:39,350 --> 00:18:38,240 in space quote during this shift aboard 516 00:18:42,150 --> 00:18:39,360 skylab 2 517 00:18:42,870 --> 00:18:42,160 close to 450 kilometers from earth 518 00:18:46,070 --> 00:18:42,880 astronauts 519 00:18:49,029 --> 00:18:46,080 jack luzma owen garriott and alan bean 520 00:18:50,950 --> 00:18:49,039 observed and photographed a green ufo 521 00:18:53,029 --> 00:18:50,960 for over 10 minutes 522 00:18:54,789 --> 00:18:53,039 secondly they declared that the object 523 00:18:57,669 --> 00:18:54,799 which was at a distance of between 524 00:18:59,190 --> 00:18:57,679 50 and 80 kilometers in an orbit very 525 00:19:02,950 --> 00:18:59,200 close to their own 526 00:19:05,350 --> 00:19:02,960 spun every 10 seconds 527 00:19:07,750 --> 00:19:05,360 a pilot from the portuguese air force 528 00:19:10,390 --> 00:19:07,760 jose francisco rodriguez 529 00:19:11,990 --> 00:19:10,400 observed a ufo enveloped within a cloud 530 00:19:15,350 --> 00:19:12,000 while flying over a dam 531 00:19:17,669 --> 00:19:15,360 at castelo de bode he says quote i 532 00:19:19,270 --> 00:19:17,679 decided then to fly by instruments and 533 00:19:21,350 --> 00:19:19,280 enter the clouds 534 00:19:22,630 --> 00:19:21,360 he would later recall i was deciding 535 00:19:24,630 --> 00:19:22,640 which cloud i would enter 536 00:19:25,669 --> 00:19:24,640 when i saw something dark in the middle 537 00:19:29,190 --> 00:19:25,679 of a cloud 538 00:19:32,070 --> 00:19:29,200 that contrasted with the rest 539 00:19:33,350 --> 00:19:32,080 which were whitish the ufo seemed to be 540 00:19:35,430 --> 00:19:33,360 camouflaging itself 541 00:19:38,390 --> 00:19:35,440 inside the cloud bank or emitting a 542 00:19:40,549 --> 00:19:38,400 vapor in which it concealed itself 543 00:19:42,470 --> 00:19:40,559 the truth is that many times diverse 544 00:19:46,150 --> 00:19:42,480 strange objects have been seen 545 00:19:48,310 --> 00:19:46,160 surrounded by clouds round or not round 546 00:19:49,590 --> 00:19:48,320 gyrating or using some other type of 547 00:19:52,789 --> 00:19:49,600 movement 548 00:19:56,150 --> 00:19:52,799 above the neems korbasak eardrum in 549 00:19:57,590 --> 00:19:56,160 october 1952 something like the design 550 00:20:00,390 --> 00:19:57,600 presented in figure 10 551 00:20:01,270 --> 00:20:00,400 which shows a spherical ufo inside 552 00:20:04,710 --> 00:20:01,280 clouds 553 00:20:06,070 --> 00:20:04,720 was seen not even in this obscure detail 554 00:20:09,590 --> 00:20:06,080 does fatima stand 555 00:20:14,149 --> 00:20:12,230 now i could go on but you get the point 556 00:20:15,990 --> 00:20:14,159 a point that's made both in vale's 557 00:20:17,029 --> 00:20:16,000 chapter as well as in the book heavenly 558 00:20:19,990 --> 00:20:17,039 lights that i just 559 00:20:20,549 --> 00:20:20,000 quoted from the bottom line is much of 560 00:20:23,350 --> 00:20:20,559 the 561 00:20:23,990 --> 00:20:23,360 phenomena observed at fatima has been 562 00:20:26,390 --> 00:20:24,000 observed 563 00:20:27,350 --> 00:20:26,400 elsewhere and most of those other 564 00:20:29,350 --> 00:20:27,360 occurrences 565 00:20:30,710 --> 00:20:29,360 have fallen into the literature of the 566 00:20:33,190 --> 00:20:30,720 ufo phenomenon 567 00:20:35,590 --> 00:20:33,200 have been considered as events of the 568 00:20:37,510 --> 00:20:35,600 ufo phenomenon 569 00:20:39,430 --> 00:20:37,520 what are we to make of these historical 570 00:20:42,470 --> 00:20:39,440 accounts you'd think if 571 00:20:43,669 --> 00:20:42,480 change is the aim that perhaps larger 572 00:20:45,669 --> 00:20:43,679 public spectacles 573 00:20:47,190 --> 00:20:45,679 in major cities around the world new 574 00:20:50,390 --> 00:20:47,200 york or paris 575 00:20:52,230 --> 00:20:50,400 would be more useful and persuasive one 576 00:20:54,070 --> 00:20:52,240 would think anyway 577 00:20:55,750 --> 00:20:54,080 but the truth is we don't know what we 578 00:20:57,750 --> 00:20:55,760 don't know 579 00:20:58,789 --> 00:20:57,760 are these beings showing signs of 580 00:21:00,470 --> 00:20:58,799 understanding 581 00:21:03,190 --> 00:21:00,480 us far better than we understand 582 00:21:05,669 --> 00:21:03,200 ourselves perhaps 583 00:21:07,909 --> 00:21:05,679 in many ways we are still at the dawn of 584 00:21:09,430 --> 00:21:07,919 a true understanding of the territory of 585 00:21:12,470 --> 00:21:09,440 our own subconscious 586 00:21:14,390 --> 00:21:12,480 as i've discussed before they seem to 587 00:21:17,669 --> 00:21:14,400 understand this aspect of ourselves 588 00:21:19,350 --> 00:21:17,679 much better than we do and if you add to 589 00:21:21,029 --> 00:21:19,360 that the fact that they can move back 590 00:21:24,149 --> 00:21:21,039 and forth in time 591 00:21:25,909 --> 00:21:24,159 as evidence suggests we've talked about 592 00:21:28,390 --> 00:21:25,919 that both today as well as in 593 00:21:30,950 --> 00:21:28,400 the podcast episode last week when we 594 00:21:32,710 --> 00:21:30,960 discussed what happened in 1945 in new 595 00:21:34,149 --> 00:21:32,720 mexico 596 00:21:36,149 --> 00:21:34,159 if that's the case that they can move 597 00:21:38,070 --> 00:21:36,159 back and forth in time then perhaps 598 00:21:40,070 --> 00:21:38,080 they're aware of precisely the 599 00:21:43,909 --> 00:21:40,080 fine-tuning intervention 600 00:21:44,870 --> 00:21:43,919 necessary to bring about vast inevitable 601 00:21:47,270 --> 00:21:44,880 but to us 602 00:21:51,830 --> 00:21:47,280 intrepid transformations of our 603 00:21:56,070 --> 00:21:54,310 now previously we have speculated about 604 00:21:56,710 --> 00:21:56,080 religious history and the degree to 605 00:21:58,390 --> 00:21:56,720 which 606 00:22:01,350 --> 00:21:58,400 the intelligence behind the ufo 607 00:22:04,390 --> 00:22:01,360 phenomenon may have been involved 608 00:22:05,510 --> 00:22:04,400 but with fatima perhaps here is our best 609 00:22:08,549 --> 00:22:05,520 example 610 00:22:09,110 --> 00:22:08,559 of the ufo phenomenon purposely casting 611 00:22:11,270 --> 00:22:09,120 itself 612 00:22:13,510 --> 00:22:11,280 in a certain light in a way that's going 613 00:22:16,710 --> 00:22:13,520 to be interpreted in a certain way 614 00:22:17,110 --> 00:22:16,720 by the people of that time and in a 615 00:22:19,590 --> 00:22:17,120 light 616 00:22:21,029 --> 00:22:19,600 that's not accurate in terms of the 617 00:22:25,110 --> 00:22:21,039 underlying reality 618 00:22:28,950 --> 00:22:27,190 let's be honest many people would read 619 00:22:31,190 --> 00:22:28,960 what happened at fatima 620 00:22:32,789 --> 00:22:31,200 the messages that were given by these 621 00:22:35,029 --> 00:22:32,799 supposed angels 622 00:22:37,110 --> 00:22:35,039 and conclude that this is deceptive that 623 00:22:38,310 --> 00:22:37,120 this is the intelligence behind the ufo 624 00:22:40,630 --> 00:22:38,320 phenomenon 625 00:22:42,070 --> 00:22:40,640 lying to people casting itself in a 626 00:22:45,110 --> 00:22:42,080 light that's not 627 00:22:50,070 --> 00:22:45,120 accurate in order to deceive people 628 00:22:53,990 --> 00:22:51,990 now to be clear this is not my 629 00:22:56,789 --> 00:22:54,000 perspective and i'll explain why in just 630 00:22:58,070 --> 00:22:56,799 a moment but it is a perspective put 631 00:23:00,950 --> 00:22:58,080 forward by many 632 00:23:03,270 --> 00:23:00,960 in ufology especially those that assume 633 00:23:06,230 --> 00:23:03,280 the intelligence behind the phenomenon 634 00:23:10,630 --> 00:23:06,240 is nefarious in nature is ultimately 635 00:23:13,750 --> 00:23:12,549 the assumption underlying that 636 00:23:17,270 --> 00:23:13,760 perspective 637 00:23:19,350 --> 00:23:17,280 is that deception is by nature 638 00:23:21,669 --> 00:23:19,360 negative that it can't be a good 639 00:23:24,789 --> 00:23:21,679 situation that if a species is going to 640 00:23:27,350 --> 00:23:24,799 quote unquote lie to you deceive you 641 00:23:28,310 --> 00:23:27,360 then they cannot have good intentions by 642 00:23:31,270 --> 00:23:28,320 definition 643 00:23:32,470 --> 00:23:31,280 many people hold that perspective i 644 00:23:35,830 --> 00:23:32,480 don't see it that way 645 00:23:38,710 --> 00:23:35,840 because really when you're trying to 646 00:23:40,310 --> 00:23:38,720 effect change on a civilization on a 647 00:23:42,549 --> 00:23:40,320 group of people 648 00:23:44,070 --> 00:23:42,559 you have to speak at a level that they 649 00:23:46,390 --> 00:23:44,080 can understand 650 00:23:47,110 --> 00:23:46,400 we've talked before about biblical 651 00:23:50,630 --> 00:23:47,120 history 652 00:23:51,750 --> 00:23:50,640 and how prophecies were given in the 653 00:23:53,029 --> 00:23:51,760 past that would 654 00:23:55,830 --> 00:23:53,039 make sense to people with a 655 00:23:57,269 --> 00:23:55,840 pre-scientific understanding of reality 656 00:23:59,269 --> 00:23:57,279 that was the message for them and it 657 00:24:00,630 --> 00:23:59,279 made sense for them in light of where 658 00:24:02,710 --> 00:24:00,640 they were 659 00:24:04,470 --> 00:24:02,720 what time they lived in and how they 660 00:24:07,110 --> 00:24:04,480 understood reality 661 00:24:08,710 --> 00:24:07,120 my suggestion is that the ufo phenomenon 662 00:24:09,909 --> 00:24:08,720 the intelligence behind the ufo 663 00:24:13,269 --> 00:24:09,919 phenomenon 664 00:24:14,789 --> 00:24:13,279 in cases like fatima knows those things 665 00:24:17,269 --> 00:24:14,799 about us as well 666 00:24:18,950 --> 00:24:17,279 and speaks to us in a way that will help 667 00:24:22,310 --> 00:24:18,960 us move forward 668 00:24:23,590 --> 00:24:22,320 in the level we're at because as i've 669 00:24:25,510 --> 00:24:23,600 talked before about 670 00:24:27,350 --> 00:24:25,520 consciousness levels the truth is you 671 00:24:29,990 --> 00:24:27,360 can never speak at someone 672 00:24:31,990 --> 00:24:30,000 beyond their consciousness level all you 673 00:24:34,549 --> 00:24:32,000 can do is try and mature 674 00:24:36,070 --> 00:24:34,559 their current consciousness level so you 675 00:24:37,430 --> 00:24:36,080 speak in such a way you share 676 00:24:39,750 --> 00:24:37,440 information 677 00:24:40,710 --> 00:24:39,760 in such a way that they will mature 678 00:24:42,789 --> 00:24:40,720 their view 679 00:24:44,950 --> 00:24:42,799 and only when they have a mature version 680 00:24:47,190 --> 00:24:44,960 of their current consciousness level 681 00:24:48,070 --> 00:24:47,200 can they therefore begin to glimpse the 682 00:24:53,029 --> 00:24:48,080 next one 683 00:24:56,230 --> 00:24:54,870 let me just state that one more time 684 00:24:59,510 --> 00:24:56,240 because i think this is 685 00:25:00,549 --> 00:24:59,520 essential for understanding the means 686 00:25:02,310 --> 00:25:00,559 and motivation 687 00:25:04,950 --> 00:25:02,320 of the intelligence behind the ufo 688 00:25:08,549 --> 00:25:04,960 phenomenon at least potentially this is 689 00:25:11,510 --> 00:25:10,070 we talked about different levels of 690 00:25:13,190 --> 00:25:11,520 consciousness we talked about the 691 00:25:14,390 --> 00:25:13,200 different colors that are associated 692 00:25:16,310 --> 00:25:14,400 with those 693 00:25:19,269 --> 00:25:16,320 teal being one of the highest ones that 694 00:25:21,430 --> 00:25:19,279 i talked about in a previous episode 695 00:25:23,430 --> 00:25:21,440 now when someone is at a certain 696 00:25:25,190 --> 00:25:23,440 consciousness level 697 00:25:26,630 --> 00:25:25,200 if you speak to them with the 698 00:25:28,950 --> 00:25:26,640 perspective of reality 699 00:25:30,549 --> 00:25:28,960 of a higher consciousness level they 700 00:25:33,190 --> 00:25:30,559 will either assume 701 00:25:33,190 --> 00:25:33,669 you're crazy or you're speaking gobbly 702 00:25:38,549 --> 00:25:36,549 or you're deceived and that's true 703 00:25:40,789 --> 00:25:38,559 because they literally can't see 704 00:25:41,750 --> 00:25:40,799 beyond the ceiling of their own level of 705 00:25:43,830 --> 00:25:41,760 consciousness 706 00:25:45,350 --> 00:25:43,840 that's true for any of us even if you're 707 00:25:47,669 --> 00:25:45,360 at teal level 708 00:25:48,950 --> 00:25:47,679 you can't see beyond the ceiling of that 709 00:25:51,750 --> 00:25:48,960 level of consciousness 710 00:25:52,870 --> 00:25:51,760 so if someone was speaking to you from a 711 00:25:54,549 --> 00:25:52,880 level above that 712 00:25:56,549 --> 00:25:54,559 you wouldn't understand it or you would 713 00:25:58,230 --> 00:25:56,559 misinterpret it based on your current 714 00:26:01,430 --> 00:25:58,240 level 715 00:26:04,390 --> 00:26:01,440 so when we are helping people to grow 716 00:26:06,310 --> 00:26:04,400 we talk to them and we interact with 717 00:26:06,710 --> 00:26:06,320 them in such a way that they can mature 718 00:26:09,430 --> 00:26:06,720 their 719 00:26:12,390 --> 00:26:09,440 current view and only when that is 720 00:26:14,789 --> 00:26:12,400 matured will they then begin to glimpse 721 00:26:16,230 --> 00:26:14,799 sometimes through cognitive dissonance 722 00:26:18,390 --> 00:26:16,240 the next level 723 00:26:19,830 --> 00:26:18,400 and eventually they can ascend to that 724 00:26:23,510 --> 00:26:19,840 but it has to work 725 00:26:27,110 --> 00:26:25,830 now earlier in this episode i quoted 726 00:26:30,070 --> 00:26:27,120 from jacques villa's 727 00:26:32,310 --> 00:26:30,080 book dimensions when he talked about the 728 00:26:35,669 --> 00:26:32,320 spiritual versus technical 729 00:26:37,029 --> 00:26:35,679 dynamic of life and how we as a species 730 00:26:39,510 --> 00:26:37,039 specifically those of us 731 00:26:40,470 --> 00:26:39,520 in western civilization which is 732 00:26:43,909 --> 00:26:40,480 grounded in 733 00:26:46,470 --> 00:26:43,919 the thought of scientific materialism 734 00:26:48,070 --> 00:26:46,480 tend to separate those we don't join 735 00:26:50,830 --> 00:26:48,080 those in any way really 736 00:26:53,909 --> 00:26:50,840 in our civilization or even in our daily 737 00:26:57,669 --> 00:26:56,070 but here i would suggest is where the 738 00:27:00,470 --> 00:26:57,679 ufo phenomenon 739 00:27:00,870 --> 00:27:00,480 confounds so many people because it 740 00:27:04,830 --> 00:27:00,880 really 741 00:27:07,110 --> 00:27:04,840 is a both and phenomenon not on either 742 00:27:09,269 --> 00:27:07,120 or from my perspective 743 00:27:11,510 --> 00:27:09,279 what i've observed is many of those who 744 00:27:13,110 --> 00:27:11,520 began seeing this topic from a nuts and 745 00:27:15,590 --> 00:27:13,120 bolts or solely 746 00:27:17,510 --> 00:27:15,600 technological perspective have been 747 00:27:19,750 --> 00:27:17,520 persuaded over time that there's a 748 00:27:21,190 --> 00:27:19,760 spiritual dynamic to this phenomenon as 749 00:27:24,470 --> 00:27:21,200 well 750 00:27:25,990 --> 00:27:24,480 and of that subset many of those who are 751 00:27:28,870 --> 00:27:26,000 experiencers 752 00:27:30,710 --> 00:27:28,880 have come to that conclusion from direct 753 00:27:33,269 --> 00:27:30,720 encounters 754 00:27:35,029 --> 00:27:33,279 and on the other end of the spectrum 755 00:27:37,510 --> 00:27:35,039 many who began seeing this 756 00:27:39,029 --> 00:27:37,520 as nothing but a spiritual battle of 757 00:27:41,830 --> 00:27:39,039 good versus evil 758 00:27:43,190 --> 00:27:41,840 angels versus demons if you will have 759 00:27:46,149 --> 00:27:43,200 come to recognize 760 00:27:47,029 --> 00:27:46,159 unmistakably physical aspects to this 761 00:27:51,029 --> 00:27:47,039 phenomenon 762 00:27:53,750 --> 00:27:51,039 as well it really is a both 763 00:27:54,549 --> 00:27:53,760 and kind of scenario to those who are 764 00:27:59,669 --> 00:27:54,559 really open 765 00:28:05,190 --> 00:28:02,470 now earlier on i mentioned that to help 766 00:28:07,590 --> 00:28:05,200 people change to help people grow 767 00:28:08,870 --> 00:28:07,600 all you can do is try and mature the 768 00:28:11,909 --> 00:28:08,880 current perspective 769 00:28:14,470 --> 00:28:11,919 that's what will ultimately potentially 770 00:28:16,389 --> 00:28:14,480 birth a greater understanding and a new 771 00:28:18,630 --> 00:28:16,399 level of consciousness 772 00:28:19,510 --> 00:28:18,640 and we should keep that in mind as the 773 00:28:22,149 --> 00:28:19,520 revelations 774 00:28:23,669 --> 00:28:22,159 of the ufo phenomenon begin to be 775 00:28:25,909 --> 00:28:23,679 grappled with by a much 776 00:28:27,590 --> 00:28:25,919 larger percentage of the population 777 00:28:30,230 --> 00:28:27,600 because this is coming 778 00:28:31,190 --> 00:28:30,240 even what's happened in recent weeks is 779 00:28:33,269 --> 00:28:31,200 stunning 780 00:28:35,110 --> 00:28:33,279 the changes are happening and happening 781 00:28:37,990 --> 00:28:35,120 quickly the recognition 782 00:28:41,110 --> 00:28:38,000 is beginning to grow like wildfire 783 00:28:45,590 --> 00:28:43,590 and as this recognition continues to 784 00:28:47,830 --> 00:28:45,600 grow continues to roll out 785 00:28:49,190 --> 00:28:47,840 with these new revelations all across 786 00:28:51,909 --> 00:28:49,200 the world 787 00:28:53,510 --> 00:28:51,919 across a variety of consciousness levels 788 00:28:56,870 --> 00:28:53,520 and paradigms that exist 789 00:28:59,430 --> 00:28:56,880 across the planet we can be agents 790 00:29:00,389 --> 00:28:59,440 that help that transformation that help 791 00:29:03,430 --> 00:29:00,399 the process of 792 00:29:07,510 --> 00:29:03,440 change as we as a species navigate 793 00:29:11,269 --> 00:29:10,070 and on that note we've come to the close 794 00:29:14,070 --> 00:29:11,279 of another edition 795 00:29:14,630 --> 00:29:14,080 of the point of convergence podcast as 796 00:29:16,950 --> 00:29:14,640 always 797 00:29:17,909 --> 00:29:16,960 let's keep this conversation going and 798 00:29:19,510 --> 00:29:17,919 growing 799 00:29:21,590 --> 00:29:19,520 please continue to spread the word 800 00:29:21,990 --> 00:29:21,600 through social media and with people you 801 00:29:25,269 --> 00:29:22,000 meet 802 00:29:26,149 --> 00:29:25,279 on the street so to speak but until next 803 00:29:27,510 --> 00:29:26,159 time friends 804 00:29:29,590 --> 00:29:27,520 from deep within the blue ridge
