1 00:00:02,830 --> 00:00:08,390 [Music] 2 00:00:12,230 --> 00:00:09,350 hello 3 00:00:14,310 --> 00:00:12,240 and welcome to episode number 25 of the 4 00:00:18,710 --> 00:00:14,320 point of convergence podcast 5 00:00:21,029 --> 00:00:18,720 as always i'm your host exo academian 6 00:00:21,910 --> 00:00:21,039 for anyone who spent any degree of time 7 00:00:24,150 --> 00:00:21,920 and energy 8 00:00:26,150 --> 00:00:24,160 researching the collective enigma known 9 00:00:28,950 --> 00:00:26,160 as the ufo phenomenon 10 00:00:31,429 --> 00:00:28,960 one thing is clear this topic is as 11 00:00:34,470 --> 00:00:31,439 elusive almost absurdly so 12 00:00:36,229 --> 00:00:34,480 as it is obsessively fascinating not 13 00:00:37,030 --> 00:00:36,239 only do the manifestations of these 14 00:00:40,549 --> 00:00:37,040 phenomena 15 00:00:42,790 --> 00:00:40,559 in and of themselves tantalize mesmerize 16 00:00:43,590 --> 00:00:42,800 and bewilder anyone who's paying close 17 00:00:45,990 --> 00:00:43,600 attention 18 00:00:48,549 --> 00:00:46,000 to the bizarre array of feats performed 19 00:00:52,869 --> 00:00:48,559 by the apparently non-humanly crafted 20 00:00:54,869 --> 00:00:52,879 aerial vehicles coined ufos or uap 21 00:00:56,069 --> 00:00:54,879 but the way the intelligences behind 22 00:00:58,549 --> 00:00:56,079 this phenomenon 23 00:01:00,150 --> 00:00:58,559 are able to manipulate human perception 24 00:01:02,389 --> 00:01:00,160 and or experience 25 00:01:03,189 --> 00:01:02,399 only further complicates this already 26 00:01:05,830 --> 00:01:03,199 murky 27 00:01:08,149 --> 00:01:05,840 if astonishing and invigorating subject 28 00:01:10,230 --> 00:01:08,159 matter 29 00:01:11,429 --> 00:01:10,240 regardless of how someone enters this 30 00:01:13,670 --> 00:01:11,439 conversation 31 00:01:15,749 --> 00:01:13,680 whether that be as a result of a nuts 32 00:01:17,030 --> 00:01:15,759 and bolts interest in next-gen 33 00:01:18,710 --> 00:01:17,040 technology 34 00:01:21,990 --> 00:01:18,720 and or an interaction with an 35 00:01:24,710 --> 00:01:22,000 intelligent non-human biological species 36 00:01:25,590 --> 00:01:24,720 or via a profoundly spiritual personal 37 00:01:27,749 --> 00:01:25,600 encounter 38 00:01:28,870 --> 00:01:27,759 with entities that are perceived as so 39 00:01:31,270 --> 00:01:28,880 superior and 40 00:01:32,710 --> 00:01:31,280 otherworldly that an expression like 41 00:01:35,109 --> 00:01:32,720 celestial being 42 00:01:35,990 --> 00:01:35,119 seems more appropriate than a blunt and 43 00:01:39,109 --> 00:01:36,000 crude term 44 00:01:41,429 --> 00:01:39,119 like alien this subject matter quickly 45 00:01:44,389 --> 00:01:41,439 expands into a wide-ranging 46 00:01:46,789 --> 00:01:44,399 and profound mystery one that inevitably 47 00:01:50,389 --> 00:01:46,799 leads to questions about the very nature 48 00:01:51,510 --> 00:01:50,399 of reality itself with decades of data 49 00:01:53,030 --> 00:01:51,520 now behind us 50 00:01:54,950 --> 00:01:53,040 there have been no shortage of 51 00:01:58,230 --> 00:01:54,960 hypotheses put forth 52 00:02:00,230 --> 00:01:58,240 to explain the nature meaning and origin 53 00:02:01,990 --> 00:02:00,240 of this phenomenon 54 00:02:03,670 --> 00:02:02,000 of course sometimes a particular 55 00:02:05,510 --> 00:02:03,680 hypothesis put forward 56 00:02:07,030 --> 00:02:05,520 will say as much about the worldview of 57 00:02:09,029 --> 00:02:07,040 the group proposing it 58 00:02:10,630 --> 00:02:09,039 as it does the nature of the encounters 59 00:02:13,190 --> 00:02:10,640 themselves 60 00:02:14,710 --> 00:02:13,200 and this is of course because regardless 61 00:02:16,390 --> 00:02:14,720 of how discombobulating these 62 00:02:19,190 --> 00:02:16,400 experiences can be 63 00:02:20,470 --> 00:02:19,200 for witnesses and or contactees slash 64 00:02:22,790 --> 00:02:20,480 abductees 65 00:02:24,949 --> 00:02:22,800 at the end of the day as with anything 66 00:02:26,949 --> 00:02:24,959 we have to try to make sense of them 67 00:02:28,070 --> 00:02:26,959 by slotting them into pre-ordained 68 00:02:31,589 --> 00:02:28,080 possibilities 69 00:02:33,910 --> 00:02:31,599 dictated by our reality paradigm 70 00:02:36,150 --> 00:02:33,920 even when a researcher tries to focus on 71 00:02:38,949 --> 00:02:36,160 a singular aspect of the data 72 00:02:41,270 --> 00:02:38,959 an honest thorough assessment of reports 73 00:02:44,309 --> 00:02:41,280 will often quickly lead the inquiry 74 00:02:45,190 --> 00:02:44,319 into another area altogether and that 75 00:02:48,229 --> 00:02:45,200 often creates 76 00:02:51,030 --> 00:02:48,239 understandable confusion for instance 77 00:02:52,630 --> 00:02:51,040 oftentimes these events are so complex 78 00:02:54,949 --> 00:02:52,640 that one is left wondering 79 00:02:57,270 --> 00:02:54,959 if the psychological aspect somehow 80 00:03:01,670 --> 00:02:57,280 manifests the apparent physicality 81 00:03:03,990 --> 00:03:01,680 or vice versa by way of example 82 00:03:05,509 --> 00:03:04,000 when physical phenomena are observed 83 00:03:08,229 --> 00:03:05,519 that supposedly violate 84 00:03:09,190 --> 00:03:08,239 our very notions of physics of how we 85 00:03:12,070 --> 00:03:09,200 assume the world 86 00:03:13,350 --> 00:03:12,080 works we're left wondering does this 87 00:03:16,070 --> 00:03:13,360 mean our perception 88 00:03:18,070 --> 00:03:16,080 is being played with somehow or that our 89 00:03:21,190 --> 00:03:18,080 very understanding of reality is 90 00:03:25,110 --> 00:03:21,200 being exposed as woefully incomplete 91 00:03:27,190 --> 00:03:25,120 if not almost wholly misguided 92 00:03:28,229 --> 00:03:27,200 as mentioned already over the last 93 00:03:30,710 --> 00:03:28,239 several decades 94 00:03:31,509 --> 00:03:30,720 a wide variety of hypotheses have been 95 00:03:33,350 --> 00:03:31,519 advanced 96 00:03:34,869 --> 00:03:33,360 to try to make sense of the ufo 97 00:03:36,789 --> 00:03:34,879 phenomenon 98 00:03:38,229 --> 00:03:36,799 so many possible explanations have 99 00:03:40,070 --> 00:03:38,239 emerged in fact 100 00:03:42,710 --> 00:03:40,080 that any attempt to keep track of the 101 00:03:46,070 --> 00:03:42,720 plethora of proposed explanations 102 00:03:48,229 --> 00:03:46,080 can in itself be dizzying that 103 00:03:49,670 --> 00:03:48,239 said one way one can organize these 104 00:03:52,149 --> 00:03:49,680 various hypotheses 105 00:03:53,110 --> 00:03:52,159 into a digestible and comprehensible 106 00:03:55,110 --> 00:03:53,120 whole 107 00:03:57,270 --> 00:03:55,120 is to view them from three different 108 00:03:59,750 --> 00:03:57,280 high altitude perspectives 109 00:04:01,030 --> 00:03:59,760 the psychic the physical and the trans 110 00:04:02,789 --> 00:04:01,040 physical 111 00:04:05,110 --> 00:04:02,799 and that's exactly the approach we'll 112 00:04:05,910 --> 00:04:05,120 employ to make sense of this enigmatic 113 00:04:08,949 --> 00:04:05,920 topic 114 00:04:17,909 --> 00:04:08,959 in this the 25th episode of the point of 115 00:04:21,030 --> 00:04:20,150 part of what makes studying the ufo 116 00:04:23,909 --> 00:04:21,040 phenomenon 117 00:04:25,990 --> 00:04:23,919 so challenging is that it's not exactly 118 00:04:26,870 --> 00:04:26,000 something you can recreate in a lab 119 00:04:29,270 --> 00:04:26,880 scenario 120 00:04:31,030 --> 00:04:29,280 to make sure that your hypothesis holds 121 00:04:34,070 --> 00:04:31,040 its weight 122 00:04:35,510 --> 00:04:34,080 now different researchers will examine 123 00:04:37,909 --> 00:04:35,520 different kinds of evidence 124 00:04:39,590 --> 00:04:37,919 different bodies of evidence and there 125 00:04:41,350 --> 00:04:39,600 isn't even an agreed upon 126 00:04:43,189 --> 00:04:41,360 assessment of what should count as 127 00:04:44,870 --> 00:04:43,199 evidence and so therefore it's not 128 00:04:46,150 --> 00:04:44,880 surprising that we end up with different 129 00:04:47,749 --> 00:04:46,160 hypotheses 130 00:04:52,550 --> 00:04:47,759 because different researchers are 131 00:04:55,590 --> 00:04:54,390 and of course that's only one of the 132 00:04:57,670 --> 00:04:55,600 challenges 133 00:04:59,670 --> 00:04:57,680 another challenge is that we just don't 134 00:05:01,510 --> 00:04:59,680 know how many players there are within 135 00:05:04,150 --> 00:05:01,520 the ufo phenomenon 136 00:05:04,710 --> 00:05:04,160 as i've mentioned numerous times before 137 00:05:08,150 --> 00:05:04,720 while we 138 00:05:10,390 --> 00:05:08,160 refer to it as a phenomenon singular 139 00:05:11,670 --> 00:05:10,400 it's almost certainly a collection of 140 00:05:14,950 --> 00:05:11,680 phenomena 141 00:05:16,870 --> 00:05:14,960 perhaps by multiple actors and different 142 00:05:17,590 --> 00:05:16,880 hypotheses could apply to different 143 00:05:19,990 --> 00:05:17,600 actors 144 00:05:21,909 --> 00:05:20,000 and perhaps where we're going wrong is 145 00:05:23,510 --> 00:05:21,919 that we're trying too often to slot it 146 00:05:26,150 --> 00:05:23,520 into one category 147 00:05:27,830 --> 00:05:26,160 perhaps that's a ill-advised way to 148 00:05:29,909 --> 00:05:27,840 approach this 149 00:05:31,510 --> 00:05:29,919 another issue is that of course the 150 00:05:32,550 --> 00:05:31,520 world views of the researchers 151 00:05:35,830 --> 00:05:32,560 themselves 152 00:05:38,070 --> 00:05:35,840 bleed into the data they bleed into the 153 00:05:39,270 --> 00:05:38,080 process by which researchers even 154 00:05:41,830 --> 00:05:39,280 consider something as 155 00:05:42,790 --> 00:05:41,840 possible and when you exclude certain 156 00:05:45,510 --> 00:05:42,800 phenomena 157 00:05:46,629 --> 00:05:45,520 from the get-go you're going to end up 158 00:05:48,790 --> 00:05:46,639 skewing the data 159 00:05:51,029 --> 00:05:48,800 and that happens time and time again 160 00:05:54,790 --> 00:05:51,039 because of the worldview bias 161 00:05:56,870 --> 00:05:54,800 on behalf of some of the researchers 162 00:05:58,870 --> 00:05:56,880 and the truth is even if you have an 163 00:06:01,909 --> 00:05:58,880 open mind and you're willing to consider 164 00:06:03,510 --> 00:06:01,919 almost every hypothesis in the book even 165 00:06:05,909 --> 00:06:03,520 ones that expand 166 00:06:07,270 --> 00:06:05,919 or completely collapse our former view 167 00:06:09,510 --> 00:06:07,280 of reality 168 00:06:11,430 --> 00:06:09,520 you're still left with very confusing 169 00:06:13,110 --> 00:06:11,440 confounding data 170 00:06:14,710 --> 00:06:13,120 and that may be part of the challenge 171 00:06:16,870 --> 00:06:14,720 that the government is running into 172 00:06:19,029 --> 00:06:16,880 in terms of trying to make sense of this 173 00:06:20,870 --> 00:06:19,039 they're not even sure what laws to apply 174 00:06:23,909 --> 00:06:20,880 to it for instance 175 00:06:26,070 --> 00:06:23,919 now dr eric davis is a scientist who 176 00:06:28,469 --> 00:06:26,080 advises the us government 177 00:06:30,790 --> 00:06:28,479 he was involved in atip the advanced 178 00:06:33,670 --> 00:06:30,800 aerospace threat identification program 179 00:06:33,990 --> 00:06:33,680 headed by luella zondo and he was also 180 00:06:35,830 --> 00:06:34,000 part 181 00:06:37,510 --> 00:06:35,840 of the advanced weapons special 182 00:06:39,350 --> 00:06:37,520 application program 183 00:06:40,710 --> 00:06:39,360 as well as other programs run by the 184 00:06:42,870 --> 00:06:40,720 government 185 00:06:45,670 --> 00:06:42,880 he knows as much as anyone when it comes 186 00:06:48,710 --> 00:06:45,680 to privileged classified information 187 00:06:52,469 --> 00:06:48,720 pertaining to the ufo slash uap 188 00:06:54,070 --> 00:06:52,479 subject and according to dr davis quote 189 00:06:56,629 --> 00:06:54,080 there is a lot of evidence that the 190 00:06:59,029 --> 00:06:56,639 government has known but the problem is 191 00:07:00,390 --> 00:06:59,039 it's so outside the realm of human 192 00:07:01,990 --> 00:07:00,400 comprehension 193 00:07:03,670 --> 00:07:02,000 that they can't deal with it on a 194 00:07:05,749 --> 00:07:03,680 legislative basis 195 00:07:07,350 --> 00:07:05,759 they can't deal with it on a military 196 00:07:09,270 --> 00:07:07,360 operational basis 197 00:07:11,029 --> 00:07:09,280 they can't deal with it on the basis of 198 00:07:14,790 --> 00:07:11,039 presidential policy 199 00:07:16,629 --> 00:07:14,800 unquote as i mentioned 200 00:07:18,550 --> 00:07:16,639 in the introduction today we're going to 201 00:07:21,670 --> 00:07:18,560 look at the ufo phenomenon 202 00:07:24,150 --> 00:07:21,680 from three high altitude perspectives 203 00:07:25,510 --> 00:07:24,160 the psychic the physical and the trans 204 00:07:26,870 --> 00:07:25,520 physical 205 00:07:28,950 --> 00:07:26,880 and this can be helpful because 206 00:07:30,950 --> 00:07:28,960 sometimes if you have a preferred 207 00:07:31,589 --> 00:07:30,960 hypothesis and you're always drilling 208 00:07:33,589 --> 00:07:31,599 down 209 00:07:34,870 --> 00:07:33,599 and trying to fit the data within that 210 00:07:37,430 --> 00:07:34,880 hypothesis 211 00:07:38,230 --> 00:07:37,440 you can actually lose your way sometimes 212 00:07:39,830 --> 00:07:38,240 you can become 213 00:07:41,990 --> 00:07:39,840 biased because you're so committed to 214 00:07:44,629 --> 00:07:42,000 that hypothesis we're all guilty of that 215 00:07:45,510 --> 00:07:44,639 or at least potentially so it's always 216 00:07:48,070 --> 00:07:45,520 good to 217 00:07:49,189 --> 00:07:48,080 question your questions and periodically 218 00:07:50,950 --> 00:07:49,199 step back 219 00:07:52,790 --> 00:07:50,960 and look at the entire thing from a 220 00:07:54,469 --> 00:07:52,800 different perspective 221 00:07:56,629 --> 00:07:54,479 and again as i said today we're going to 222 00:08:00,230 --> 00:07:56,639 look at a variety of hypotheses 223 00:08:03,430 --> 00:08:00,240 but within this lens of physical 224 00:08:05,350 --> 00:08:03,440 trans physical and psychical now this 225 00:08:06,790 --> 00:08:05,360 term psychic or psychical 226 00:08:08,469 --> 00:08:06,800 we're using in the way that jacques 227 00:08:10,390 --> 00:08:08,479 valet has used it 228 00:08:11,510 --> 00:08:10,400 and for valet it referred to the 229 00:08:16,070 --> 00:08:11,520 relationship between 230 00:08:20,390 --> 00:08:18,390 now the reason why valet was so focused 231 00:08:22,629 --> 00:08:20,400 on this psychical aspect 232 00:08:25,430 --> 00:08:22,639 is because when he would interview 233 00:08:27,430 --> 00:08:25,440 different witnesses different contactees 234 00:08:30,550 --> 00:08:27,440 he would find that it was such a 235 00:08:33,430 --> 00:08:30,560 profound and transformative experience 236 00:08:34,790 --> 00:08:33,440 for the individual that it sometimes is 237 00:08:37,269 --> 00:08:34,800 difficult to tell if the 238 00:08:39,029 --> 00:08:37,279 change was primarily happening inside 239 00:08:41,909 --> 00:08:39,039 their consciousness 240 00:08:42,870 --> 00:08:41,919 or in the reality out there in other 241 00:08:45,269 --> 00:08:42,880 words 242 00:08:46,389 --> 00:08:45,279 is this phenomena manifesting in the 243 00:08:48,710 --> 00:08:46,399 real world 244 00:08:49,430 --> 00:08:48,720 that a another observer could see it as 245 00:08:51,590 --> 00:08:49,440 well 246 00:08:53,269 --> 00:08:51,600 or is it only happening within the 247 00:08:55,670 --> 00:08:53,279 consciousness the perception 248 00:08:57,829 --> 00:08:55,680 of a particular individual there 249 00:08:59,829 --> 00:08:57,839 definitely seems to be cases where 250 00:09:02,070 --> 00:08:59,839 it can manifest just inside the 251 00:09:04,070 --> 00:09:02,080 consciousness of one individual 252 00:09:05,750 --> 00:09:04,080 and in fact two different people can 253 00:09:08,949 --> 00:09:05,760 have two different 254 00:09:11,509 --> 00:09:08,959 uh experiences of the same event and 255 00:09:14,790 --> 00:09:11,519 this is why the psychic aspect is so key 256 00:09:16,710 --> 00:09:14,800 for valet and others and of course valet 257 00:09:18,790 --> 00:09:16,720 also talked about his control system 258 00:09:22,310 --> 00:09:18,800 hypothesis for which i dedicated 259 00:09:23,269 --> 00:09:22,320 an entire podcast episode to the idea 260 00:09:25,110 --> 00:09:23,279 there is that 261 00:09:27,590 --> 00:09:25,120 whatever is behind the phenomenon or 262 00:09:29,910 --> 00:09:27,600 this aspect of the phenomenon 263 00:09:31,269 --> 00:09:29,920 may be trying to change our culture 264 00:09:32,710 --> 00:09:31,279 change our civilization 265 00:09:35,110 --> 00:09:32,720 which of course is a collection of 266 00:09:37,590 --> 00:09:35,120 cultures and it does this 267 00:09:39,829 --> 00:09:37,600 incrementally over time by adjusting 268 00:09:41,990 --> 00:09:39,839 boundaries of a control system 269 00:09:44,630 --> 00:09:42,000 this could be an intelligence a group of 270 00:09:46,630 --> 00:09:44,640 entities or even a vast ai system 271 00:09:49,670 --> 00:09:46,640 there's different ways it could work 272 00:09:50,230 --> 00:09:49,680 but the idea is this works incrementally 273 00:09:53,030 --> 00:09:50,240 and 274 00:09:53,750 --> 00:09:53,040 subversively on the level of the 275 00:09:56,949 --> 00:09:53,760 collective 276 00:09:58,790 --> 00:09:56,959 subconscious of humankind and 277 00:10:00,870 --> 00:09:58,800 in that sense it's very difficult to 278 00:10:03,430 --> 00:10:00,880 track and to understand even that 279 00:10:05,509 --> 00:10:03,440 as it's happening but the result is 280 00:10:08,389 --> 00:10:05,519 still inevitable it helps 281 00:10:10,310 --> 00:10:08,399 manage human evolution this is a key 282 00:10:13,829 --> 00:10:10,320 aspect of the psychic aspect 283 00:10:17,590 --> 00:10:15,910 now of course anyone who studied this 284 00:10:19,910 --> 00:10:17,600 for any amount of time 285 00:10:22,069 --> 00:10:19,920 also knows there are definitely physical 286 00:10:23,990 --> 00:10:22,079 aspects to this phenomenon too 287 00:10:25,430 --> 00:10:24,000 it's not an either or it's definitely a 288 00:10:27,670 --> 00:10:25,440 both and 289 00:10:28,949 --> 00:10:27,680 physical aspects include things like 290 00:10:31,750 --> 00:10:28,959 radar returns 291 00:10:33,110 --> 00:10:31,760 and even markings in the ground burnt 292 00:10:35,750 --> 00:10:33,120 markings in the ground or 293 00:10:36,470 --> 00:10:35,760 indentations where a craft has landed 294 00:10:38,949 --> 00:10:36,480 people have 295 00:10:40,389 --> 00:10:38,959 markings on their body implants have 296 00:10:42,949 --> 00:10:40,399 even been removed from people 297 00:10:44,470 --> 00:10:42,959 so there's a variety of ways that this 298 00:10:47,269 --> 00:10:44,480 definitely seems to 299 00:10:49,750 --> 00:10:47,279 show up in ways that suggest it's 300 00:10:51,990 --> 00:10:49,760 manifesting in our reality as 301 00:10:53,590 --> 00:10:52,000 physical objects that can be measured by 302 00:10:56,790 --> 00:10:53,600 instruments not just by human 303 00:11:00,470 --> 00:10:58,389 and of course what's even more 304 00:11:02,870 --> 00:11:00,480 interesting and perplexing 305 00:11:05,990 --> 00:11:02,880 is that often both psychic and physical 306 00:11:08,630 --> 00:11:06,000 effects are observed in the same event 307 00:11:09,829 --> 00:11:08,640 recently i did an entire podcast on the 308 00:11:11,670 --> 00:11:09,839 events at fatima 309 00:11:12,949 --> 00:11:11,680 and of course that's a prime example of 310 00:11:14,710 --> 00:11:12,959 where the 311 00:11:16,550 --> 00:11:14,720 effects were noticed in the 312 00:11:18,230 --> 00:11:16,560 consciousness of the individuals and 313 00:11:20,550 --> 00:11:18,240 that different individuals would have 314 00:11:21,670 --> 00:11:20,560 different experiences even different 315 00:11:23,590 --> 00:11:21,680 messages they even 316 00:11:25,509 --> 00:11:23,600 saw different things in terms of what 317 00:11:27,670 --> 00:11:25,519 they reported afterwards 318 00:11:29,269 --> 00:11:27,680 but there were also physical aspects 319 00:11:32,310 --> 00:11:29,279 that manifested as well that were 320 00:11:35,670 --> 00:11:32,320 observed by people even 10 miles away 321 00:11:37,430 --> 00:11:35,680 this includes light phenomenon 322 00:11:39,829 --> 00:11:37,440 atmospheric phenomena temperature 323 00:11:40,150 --> 00:11:39,839 effects all of these things were noticed 324 00:11:42,150 --> 00:11:40,160 by 325 00:11:45,509 --> 00:11:42,160 a broad assortment of people even very 326 00:11:47,430 --> 00:11:45,519 far away remember up to 70 000 people 327 00:11:51,750 --> 00:11:47,440 witnessed the penultimate event at 328 00:11:56,870 --> 00:11:54,230 also let us not forget as i mentioned in 329 00:11:59,910 --> 00:11:56,880 that podcast episode on fatima 330 00:12:00,389 --> 00:11:59,920 what's intriguing is even though 70 000 331 00:12:03,990 --> 00:12:00,399 people 332 00:12:06,470 --> 00:12:04,000 saw something even up to 10 miles away 333 00:12:07,829 --> 00:12:06,480 and we're talking major things were 334 00:12:10,949 --> 00:12:07,839 observed the atmosphere 335 00:12:12,710 --> 00:12:10,959 changed drastically the sun dim to the 336 00:12:13,750 --> 00:12:12,720 point where stars and the moon were 337 00:12:17,590 --> 00:12:13,760 observed 338 00:12:20,230 --> 00:12:17,600 in the background and yet astronomical 339 00:12:21,910 --> 00:12:20,240 observatories did not pick up anything 340 00:12:23,750 --> 00:12:21,920 in other words if you weren't in that 341 00:12:25,430 --> 00:12:23,760 region if you were looking at the data 342 00:12:27,670 --> 00:12:25,440 returns from 343 00:12:29,670 --> 00:12:27,680 observatories from well beyond that 344 00:12:31,430 --> 00:12:29,680 region nothing was seen 345 00:12:33,670 --> 00:12:31,440 there was nothing in instrumentation to 346 00:12:34,790 --> 00:12:33,680 say that something quote unquote really 347 00:12:37,110 --> 00:12:34,800 happened 348 00:12:38,870 --> 00:12:37,120 and yet seventy thousand people will 349 00:12:41,110 --> 00:12:38,880 tell you otherwise 350 00:12:43,990 --> 00:12:41,120 so what does that suggest it suggests 351 00:12:46,710 --> 00:12:44,000 that this phenomenon is somehow able to 352 00:12:48,949 --> 00:12:46,720 manipulate the consciousness of perhaps 353 00:12:51,430 --> 00:12:48,959 tens of thousands of people 354 00:12:52,069 --> 00:12:51,440 because what are we left with if we know 355 00:12:54,629 --> 00:12:52,079 that our 356 00:12:55,750 --> 00:12:54,639 instruments are not picking this up we 357 00:12:58,069 --> 00:12:55,760 assume that it's not 358 00:12:59,509 --> 00:12:58,079 really manifesting in physical reality 359 00:13:01,670 --> 00:12:59,519 the way that we really think 360 00:13:02,949 --> 00:13:01,680 physical reality is supposed to work 361 00:13:05,269 --> 00:13:02,959 which again makes us 362 00:13:07,110 --> 00:13:05,279 question when you really look into this 363 00:13:11,430 --> 00:13:07,120 is our notion of reality 364 00:13:15,509 --> 00:13:13,269 and that's a perfect example to lead us 365 00:13:16,710 --> 00:13:15,519 into the third category the third lens 366 00:13:17,750 --> 00:13:16,720 through which we're looking at this 367 00:13:20,629 --> 00:13:17,760 phenomenon 368 00:13:21,190 --> 00:13:20,639 the trans physical here we're talking 369 00:13:23,350 --> 00:13:21,200 about 370 00:13:24,629 --> 00:13:23,360 the fact that sometimes even though 371 00:13:27,590 --> 00:13:24,639 these things are observed 372 00:13:29,829 --> 00:13:27,600 in physical reality it seems to be a 373 00:13:31,990 --> 00:13:29,839 kind of physical reality that violates 374 00:13:34,150 --> 00:13:32,000 our notion of how physics is supposed to 375 00:13:36,389 --> 00:13:34,160 work even our cutting edge notion 376 00:13:38,790 --> 00:13:36,399 of physics here we're talking about 377 00:13:40,710 --> 00:13:38,800 things like objects that start as one 378 00:13:42,710 --> 00:13:40,720 break up into multiple objects and then 379 00:13:45,509 --> 00:13:42,720 seamlessly come back together 380 00:13:46,949 --> 00:13:45,519 or objects that change shape vastly 381 00:13:50,310 --> 00:13:46,959 change shape 382 00:13:53,110 --> 00:13:50,320 or when contactees slash 383 00:13:54,069 --> 00:13:53,120 abductees report noticing a craft that's 384 00:13:55,670 --> 00:13:54,079 a certain size 385 00:13:57,750 --> 00:13:55,680 when they see it outside but once 386 00:14:00,150 --> 00:13:57,760 they're inside it seems much much 387 00:14:01,750 --> 00:14:00,160 larger and sometimes the entire 388 00:14:02,550 --> 00:14:01,760 structure inside seems completely 389 00:14:05,110 --> 00:14:02,560 different 390 00:14:06,389 --> 00:14:05,120 than what they saw on the outside or 391 00:14:08,310 --> 00:14:06,399 sometimes again 392 00:14:10,389 --> 00:14:08,320 this is where it crosses over into is it 393 00:14:12,870 --> 00:14:10,399 physical or is it cyclical 394 00:14:14,230 --> 00:14:12,880 different contactees will even notice 395 00:14:15,030 --> 00:14:14,240 completely different shapes on the 396 00:14:16,629 --> 00:14:15,040 outside 397 00:14:18,470 --> 00:14:16,639 but then the same shape once they're 398 00:14:20,230 --> 00:14:18,480 inside and once they're inside they can 399 00:14:22,389 --> 00:14:20,240 also recognize each other 400 00:14:24,470 --> 00:14:22,399 so this is the trans physical aspect 401 00:14:25,670 --> 00:14:24,480 where it seems to be happening in 402 00:14:28,550 --> 00:14:25,680 physical reality 403 00:14:33,750 --> 00:14:28,560 but in a way that violates our notion of 404 00:14:37,750 --> 00:14:36,629 and of course within this trans physical 405 00:14:40,710 --> 00:14:37,760 lens we're also 406 00:14:41,910 --> 00:14:40,720 thinking of interdimensional aspects 407 00:14:45,269 --> 00:14:41,920 here we're talking about 408 00:14:48,389 --> 00:14:45,279 both entities and craft that seemingly 409 00:14:50,230 --> 00:14:48,399 pop into existence within our reality 410 00:14:52,310 --> 00:14:50,240 like a window opens and suddenly they're 411 00:14:55,350 --> 00:14:52,320 there where they weren't a second ago 412 00:14:56,550 --> 00:14:55,360 and just as easily they can vanish and 413 00:14:59,189 --> 00:14:56,560 this suggests that they 414 00:14:59,590 --> 00:14:59,199 are indeed manifesting in our reality 415 00:15:01,790 --> 00:14:59,600 but 416 00:15:03,350 --> 00:15:01,800 they are perhaps coming in 417 00:15:05,350 --> 00:15:03,360 instantaneously 418 00:15:06,389 --> 00:15:05,360 from a portal of some sort from a 419 00:15:09,350 --> 00:15:06,399 different dimension 420 00:15:10,629 --> 00:15:09,360 perhaps a mirror universe or an 421 00:15:12,470 --> 00:15:10,639 alternate earth 422 00:15:14,230 --> 00:15:12,480 but it doesn't seem like distance or 423 00:15:17,350 --> 00:15:14,240 travel is involved so 424 00:15:19,350 --> 00:15:17,360 again you have this complication of it's 425 00:15:20,790 --> 00:15:19,360 manifesting in physical reality but 426 00:15:22,629 --> 00:15:20,800 manifesting in a way 427 00:15:23,990 --> 00:15:22,639 we can't make sense of based on our 428 00:15:27,269 --> 00:15:24,000 current understanding 429 00:15:29,509 --> 00:15:27,279 of how physics works 430 00:15:30,550 --> 00:15:29,519 so so far we've discussed different ways 431 00:15:33,110 --> 00:15:30,560 that this 432 00:15:34,310 --> 00:15:33,120 phenomenon manifests in ways that are so 433 00:15:36,150 --> 00:15:34,320 perplexing 434 00:15:37,670 --> 00:15:36,160 that we can't really wrap our minds 435 00:15:40,230 --> 00:15:37,680 around it uh 436 00:15:41,590 --> 00:15:40,240 based on our current notions of reality 437 00:15:43,590 --> 00:15:41,600 now sometimes 438 00:15:45,030 --> 00:15:43,600 in fact often times when it comes to 439 00:15:46,629 --> 00:15:45,040 science if you find 440 00:15:48,710 --> 00:15:46,639 you keep banging your head against a 441 00:15:50,470 --> 00:15:48,720 wall because some data just won't fit 442 00:15:52,550 --> 00:15:50,480 within a hypothesis 443 00:15:53,509 --> 00:15:52,560 this often is a sure sign that your 444 00:15:56,230 --> 00:15:53,519 hypothesis 445 00:15:58,150 --> 00:15:56,240 is wrong or perhaps the assumptions that 446 00:15:58,550 --> 00:15:58,160 you bring to your hypothesis because 447 00:16:01,749 --> 00:15:58,560 almost 448 00:16:03,430 --> 00:16:01,759 every hypothesis begins with some givens 449 00:16:05,110 --> 00:16:03,440 some assumptions about the nature of 450 00:16:08,310 --> 00:16:05,120 reality and 451 00:16:09,990 --> 00:16:08,320 if the data refuses to fit in total 452 00:16:12,470 --> 00:16:10,000 then that might be telling you something 453 00:16:14,150 --> 00:16:12,480 about either your hypothesis being wrong 454 00:16:15,990 --> 00:16:14,160 or the assumptions you bring to the 455 00:16:18,949 --> 00:16:16,000 hypothesis 456 00:16:21,590 --> 00:16:18,959 and here we think of john mack and how 457 00:16:23,590 --> 00:16:21,600 he rejected these dualistic notions 458 00:16:25,189 --> 00:16:23,600 that we bring to the table when we try 459 00:16:28,230 --> 00:16:25,199 and form hypotheses 460 00:16:29,350 --> 00:16:28,240 about the ufo phenomenon this is what 461 00:16:32,150 --> 00:16:29,360 john mack said 462 00:16:33,189 --> 00:16:32,160 quote i object to the either ordinance 463 00:16:36,069 --> 00:16:33,199 of this 464 00:16:37,590 --> 00:16:36,079 why couldn't aliens be real and not real 465 00:16:40,870 --> 00:16:37,600 at the same time 466 00:16:43,189 --> 00:16:40,880 inhabiting some liminal zone modern 467 00:16:45,749 --> 00:16:43,199 physics was replete with contradictions 468 00:16:47,030 --> 00:16:45,759 as in quantum superposition where chunks 469 00:16:49,749 --> 00:16:47,040 of matter could occupy 470 00:16:50,069 --> 00:16:49,759 two different places at the same time in 471 00:16:52,310 --> 00:16:50,079 any 472 00:16:54,230 --> 00:16:52,320 case he said the phenomenon could not be 473 00:16:55,990 --> 00:16:54,240 explained psychiatrically 474 00:16:57,350 --> 00:16:56,000 the people with whom i have been working 475 00:17:01,110 --> 00:16:57,360 as far as i can tell 476 00:17:03,030 --> 00:17:01,120 are telling the truth unquote 477 00:17:05,429 --> 00:17:03,040 and by the way that quote was from ralph 478 00:17:08,470 --> 00:17:05,439 blumenthal's excellent biography 479 00:17:09,990 --> 00:17:08,480 of dr john mack called the believer and 480 00:17:12,230 --> 00:17:10,000 i did a review of that book 481 00:17:15,350 --> 00:17:12,240 in episode number 11 of the point of 482 00:17:17,429 --> 00:17:15,360 convergence podcast 483 00:17:19,029 --> 00:17:17,439 okay so at this point i think i've set 484 00:17:21,270 --> 00:17:19,039 the table sufficiently 485 00:17:23,429 --> 00:17:21,280 in terms of discussing how the data 486 00:17:25,750 --> 00:17:23,439 regarding the ufo phenomenon 487 00:17:26,789 --> 00:17:25,760 can be seen from these different lenses 488 00:17:29,909 --> 00:17:26,799 the psychic 489 00:17:32,549 --> 00:17:29,919 the physical and the trans physical 490 00:17:34,150 --> 00:17:32,559 keep that in mind as we now look at each 491 00:17:36,310 --> 00:17:34,160 of the main hypotheses 492 00:17:38,950 --> 00:17:36,320 put forward to address the ufo 493 00:17:41,110 --> 00:17:38,960 phenomenon 494 00:17:41,990 --> 00:17:41,120 so let's begin with the prosaic 495 00:17:45,909 --> 00:17:42,000 explanations 496 00:17:46,789 --> 00:17:45,919 ago dismissed because they definitely 497 00:17:48,470 --> 00:17:46,799 don't 498 00:17:51,029 --> 00:17:48,480 take into account the fullness of the 499 00:17:53,110 --> 00:17:51,039 data in any way whatsoever 500 00:17:54,870 --> 00:17:53,120 but prosaic explanations would be 501 00:17:57,990 --> 00:17:54,880 something of human origin or 502 00:18:01,350 --> 00:17:58,000 otherwise mundane explanations could be 503 00:18:03,110 --> 00:18:01,360 a military exercise could be atmospheric 504 00:18:05,990 --> 00:18:03,120 conditions that are noticed of course 505 00:18:07,990 --> 00:18:06,000 some people have mentioned birds 506 00:18:09,750 --> 00:18:08,000 these are prosaic explanations put 507 00:18:10,870 --> 00:18:09,760 forward to make sense of the ufo 508 00:18:14,470 --> 00:18:10,880 phenomenon 509 00:18:16,950 --> 00:18:14,480 that's number one prosaic 510 00:18:18,230 --> 00:18:16,960 next let's take a look at hypotheses 511 00:18:21,350 --> 00:18:18,240 that you could group within 512 00:18:23,750 --> 00:18:21,360 the physical nuts and bolts category 513 00:18:25,430 --> 00:18:23,760 these are consisting of material objects 514 00:18:27,190 --> 00:18:25,440 or creatures 515 00:18:29,190 --> 00:18:27,200 so we've discussed the extraterrestrial 516 00:18:30,230 --> 00:18:29,200 hypothesis of course many times on this 517 00:18:31,830 --> 00:18:30,240 podcast 518 00:18:33,350 --> 00:18:31,840 that would fit within the physical 519 00:18:35,270 --> 00:18:33,360 category 520 00:18:37,510 --> 00:18:35,280 because these are actual beings within 521 00:18:40,630 --> 00:18:37,520 our physical universe that are traveling 522 00:18:43,190 --> 00:18:40,640 vast distances in spacecraft presumably 523 00:18:44,150 --> 00:18:43,200 to interact with us everything about 524 00:18:46,789 --> 00:18:44,160 that 525 00:18:47,350 --> 00:18:46,799 explanation is physical and fits within 526 00:18:51,190 --> 00:18:47,360 our 527 00:18:53,110 --> 00:18:51,200 understanding of physics 528 00:18:55,110 --> 00:18:53,120 the crypto-terrestrial hypothesis which 529 00:18:55,909 --> 00:18:55,120 we've also discussed on this podcast in 530 00:18:59,110 --> 00:18:55,919 fact there was one 531 00:19:00,549 --> 00:18:59,120 entire episode dedicated to it also fits 532 00:19:03,029 --> 00:19:00,559 within this physical 533 00:19:05,350 --> 00:19:03,039 nuts and bolts kind of category because 534 00:19:07,270 --> 00:19:05,360 this is a sister humanoid species 535 00:19:08,789 --> 00:19:07,280 living again in our physical reality 536 00:19:11,830 --> 00:19:08,799 within our physical universe 537 00:19:13,270 --> 00:19:11,840 in fact living here on the earth albeit 538 00:19:15,430 --> 00:19:13,280 in stealthy ways 539 00:19:16,310 --> 00:19:15,440 so both of those fit within the physical 540 00:19:19,510 --> 00:19:16,320 category 541 00:19:21,909 --> 00:19:19,520 nuts and bolts so to speak 542 00:19:22,950 --> 00:19:21,919 next up are a series of hypotheses you 543 00:19:25,510 --> 00:19:22,960 could group within 544 00:19:27,190 --> 00:19:25,520 the mental category in other words 545 00:19:30,549 --> 00:19:27,200 produced by the mind's function 546 00:19:32,789 --> 00:19:30,559 or its dysfunction now one kind of 547 00:19:33,750 --> 00:19:32,799 mental explanation would be remotely 548 00:19:35,510 --> 00:19:33,760 induced 549 00:19:37,669 --> 00:19:35,520 this could be things like psychotronic 550 00:19:39,590 --> 00:19:37,679 weapons where energy weapons are 551 00:19:41,350 --> 00:19:39,600 directed at people's minds and it makes 552 00:19:43,110 --> 00:19:41,360 them see things or experience 553 00:19:45,029 --> 00:19:43,120 aspects of reality that are not quote 554 00:19:47,350 --> 00:19:45,039 unquote really there 555 00:19:49,190 --> 00:19:47,360 hypnosis could be another kind of mental 556 00:19:50,950 --> 00:19:49,200 control that makes people experience 557 00:19:54,230 --> 00:19:50,960 these kinds of things 558 00:19:56,470 --> 00:19:54,240 telepathy is another kind of course 559 00:19:57,350 --> 00:19:56,480 disinformation campaigns where people 560 00:19:59,990 --> 00:19:57,360 read things 561 00:20:01,190 --> 00:20:00,000 and it changes their view of reality and 562 00:20:03,270 --> 00:20:01,200 makes them 563 00:20:05,270 --> 00:20:03,280 then end up perceiving things presumably 564 00:20:07,270 --> 00:20:05,280 that they wouldn't otherwise 565 00:20:09,190 --> 00:20:07,280 this is all fitting within the mental 566 00:20:12,789 --> 00:20:09,200 category 567 00:20:14,230 --> 00:20:12,799 neurological problems like medical 568 00:20:16,070 --> 00:20:14,240 conditions 569 00:20:17,909 --> 00:20:16,080 this would also fit within a mental 570 00:20:20,470 --> 00:20:17,919 explanation 571 00:20:22,870 --> 00:20:20,480 we also have psychosocial elements would 572 00:20:24,630 --> 00:20:22,880 also fit within this mental category 573 00:20:27,029 --> 00:20:24,640 so for instance religions that are 574 00:20:28,950 --> 00:20:27,039 formed around ufos or uap 575 00:20:31,830 --> 00:20:28,960 would also fit within this again it's 576 00:20:35,830 --> 00:20:31,840 all about the mind projecting ideas 577 00:20:38,310 --> 00:20:35,840 that determine people's views 578 00:20:39,669 --> 00:20:38,320 as we continue our quick trip around the 579 00:20:42,310 --> 00:20:39,679 full spectrum 580 00:20:45,110 --> 00:20:42,320 of hypotheses put forward to explain the 581 00:20:47,110 --> 00:20:45,120 origins of ufos or uap 582 00:20:48,390 --> 00:20:47,120 next up we have the interdimensional 583 00:20:49,909 --> 00:20:48,400 category 584 00:20:52,310 --> 00:20:49,919 and as i have talked about on different 585 00:20:53,270 --> 00:20:52,320 podcasts this can cover a variety of 586 00:20:55,510 --> 00:20:53,280 hypotheses 587 00:20:57,190 --> 00:20:55,520 and it's postulated different ways by 588 00:20:59,029 --> 00:20:57,200 different people 589 00:21:01,669 --> 00:20:59,039 of course a parallel universe would fit 590 00:21:04,149 --> 00:21:01,679 within this interdimensional hypothesis 591 00:21:05,830 --> 00:21:04,159 and chocolate's passport to magonia 592 00:21:07,590 --> 00:21:05,840 would be a good book to look into to 593 00:21:09,990 --> 00:21:07,600 learn more about that 594 00:21:11,029 --> 00:21:10,000 the idea is that these beings these 595 00:21:13,270 --> 00:21:11,039 intelligences are 596 00:21:15,669 --> 00:21:13,280 traveling to or interacting with our 597 00:21:16,470 --> 00:21:15,679 universe from an external position in 598 00:21:19,669 --> 00:21:16,480 other words from 599 00:21:21,270 --> 00:21:19,679 outside of our physical universe time 600 00:21:23,510 --> 00:21:21,280 travel would also fit within this 601 00:21:26,149 --> 00:21:23,520 interdimensional category 602 00:21:27,590 --> 00:21:26,159 a colliding universe which was discussed 603 00:21:30,549 --> 00:21:27,600 in whitley strieber's 604 00:21:35,029 --> 00:21:30,559 a new world would also fit here as would 605 00:21:38,950 --> 00:21:37,029 so as you're probably noticing we're 606 00:21:40,710 --> 00:21:38,960 stepping it up a couple notches with 607 00:21:42,789 --> 00:21:40,720 each of these categories 608 00:21:44,870 --> 00:21:42,799 we began with the most simple the 609 00:21:45,430 --> 00:21:44,880 prosaic explanations suggesting that 610 00:21:47,510 --> 00:21:45,440 nothing at 611 00:21:49,190 --> 00:21:47,520 all unusual is really happening it's 612 00:21:52,549 --> 00:21:49,200 just meteorological 613 00:21:54,950 --> 00:21:52,559 uh effects or foreign adversaries 614 00:21:57,510 --> 00:21:54,960 aircraft things like that then we move 615 00:21:59,350 --> 00:21:57,520 to the physical nuts and bolts which is 616 00:22:00,789 --> 00:21:59,360 more complicated and obviously involves 617 00:22:03,270 --> 00:22:00,799 things like ets 618 00:22:05,110 --> 00:22:03,280 or cryptoterrestrials but it still 619 00:22:07,110 --> 00:22:05,120 involves our physical universe and 620 00:22:09,669 --> 00:22:07,120 doesn't diverge from any of our known 621 00:22:12,149 --> 00:22:09,679 understandings of physics we also 622 00:22:13,830 --> 00:22:12,159 consider the mental aspect which steps 623 00:22:15,990 --> 00:22:13,840 it up a notch because it might involve 624 00:22:18,789 --> 00:22:16,000 things like psychotronic weapons 625 00:22:19,750 --> 00:22:18,799 or neurological disorders or even 626 00:22:21,990 --> 00:22:19,760 complex 627 00:22:24,070 --> 00:22:22,000 psychosocial elements tied to religion 628 00:22:25,909 --> 00:22:24,080 and things like that 629 00:22:28,789 --> 00:22:25,919 then we move to the interdimensional 630 00:22:30,390 --> 00:22:28,799 category and that really upped the ante 631 00:22:32,549 --> 00:22:30,400 to discussing things like parallel 632 00:22:35,110 --> 00:22:32,559 universes time travel by the way 633 00:22:37,029 --> 00:22:35,120 i did an entire podcast episode on the 634 00:22:38,870 --> 00:22:37,039 possibility that perhaps 635 00:22:40,149 --> 00:22:38,880 the beings visiting us or at least some 636 00:22:42,870 --> 00:22:40,159 of them are 637 00:22:44,230 --> 00:22:42,880 us from the future but perhaps with a 638 00:22:48,230 --> 00:22:44,240 genome spliced with 639 00:22:50,390 --> 00:22:48,240 other biological life forms from earth 640 00:22:51,990 --> 00:22:50,400 again cladding universe hyperspace all 641 00:22:53,350 --> 00:22:52,000 fits within the interdimensional 642 00:22:55,750 --> 00:22:53,360 category 643 00:22:59,110 --> 00:22:55,760 we've got one more left that's the extra 644 00:23:02,390 --> 00:23:00,710 now to be clear with the 645 00:23:05,110 --> 00:23:02,400 ultra-terrestrial category 646 00:23:06,830 --> 00:23:05,120 that involved various hypotheses that 647 00:23:08,070 --> 00:23:06,840 had to do with the manipulation of 648 00:23:10,149 --> 00:23:08,080 space-time 649 00:23:12,549 --> 00:23:10,159 using methods beyond our current 650 00:23:15,669 --> 00:23:12,559 scientific understanding 651 00:23:17,909 --> 00:23:15,679 the extra-dimensional category is 652 00:23:19,590 --> 00:23:17,919 about having a fundamentally different 653 00:23:22,710 --> 00:23:19,600 relationship to space-time 654 00:23:23,830 --> 00:23:22,720 altogether and this groups together a 655 00:23:25,830 --> 00:23:23,840 variety of 656 00:23:27,350 --> 00:23:25,840 hypotheses everything from the 657 00:23:30,230 --> 00:23:27,360 simulation hypothesis 658 00:23:30,789 --> 00:23:30,240 which takes it up an entire different 659 00:23:32,630 --> 00:23:30,799 league 660 00:23:37,270 --> 00:23:32,640 because here we're talking about reality 661 00:23:39,029 --> 00:23:37,280 itself being not what we think it is 662 00:23:40,870 --> 00:23:39,039 by the way for those of you interested 663 00:23:43,350 --> 00:23:40,880 in this simulation hypothesis 664 00:23:44,630 --> 00:23:43,360 i would point you to episodes number 12 665 00:23:46,230 --> 00:23:44,640 and 18 666 00:23:47,669 --> 00:23:46,240 if you haven't heard them already where 667 00:23:49,190 --> 00:23:47,679 we discussed that from a couple 668 00:23:50,710 --> 00:23:49,200 different angles 669 00:23:52,950 --> 00:23:50,720 and in the future by the way we're going 670 00:23:55,029 --> 00:23:52,960 to do a podcast episode dedicated to 671 00:23:58,710 --> 00:23:55,039 michael taubo's excellent book 672 00:24:00,630 --> 00:23:58,720 the holographic universe now also within 673 00:24:02,549 --> 00:24:00,640 this extra-dimensional category 674 00:24:05,110 --> 00:24:02,559 would be the beings of light or the 675 00:24:06,070 --> 00:24:05,120 celestial beings that people often refer 676 00:24:08,310 --> 00:24:06,080 to 677 00:24:09,269 --> 00:24:08,320 this is somewhat of a subset of the ufo 678 00:24:11,029 --> 00:24:09,279 phenomenon 679 00:24:13,669 --> 00:24:11,039 some people might not even consider part 680 00:24:17,110 --> 00:24:13,679 of the same category really not really 681 00:24:17,990 --> 00:24:17,120 a ufo experience but really it does all 682 00:24:19,909 --> 00:24:18,000 fit together 683 00:24:21,909 --> 00:24:19,919 and it's complicated because often 684 00:24:23,750 --> 00:24:21,919 people's world view will determine how 685 00:24:26,149 --> 00:24:23,760 they describe these things 686 00:24:27,590 --> 00:24:26,159 so someone with a religious background 687 00:24:29,110 --> 00:24:27,600 particularly christianity 688 00:24:30,789 --> 00:24:29,120 is going to describe these things 689 00:24:34,070 --> 00:24:30,799 literally as angels 690 00:24:36,390 --> 00:24:34,080 and in some cases demons because that's 691 00:24:37,909 --> 00:24:36,400 what makes sense to them based on how 692 00:24:39,750 --> 00:24:37,919 they think about reality how they've 693 00:24:41,430 --> 00:24:39,760 been taught about reality 694 00:24:43,909 --> 00:24:41,440 but even people who aren't particularly 695 00:24:47,190 --> 00:24:43,919 religious will describe these entities 696 00:24:49,430 --> 00:24:47,200 as beings of light as very much 697 00:24:51,590 --> 00:24:49,440 not physical beings in any sense that 698 00:24:53,190 --> 00:24:51,600 they don't have a relationship with our 699 00:24:55,029 --> 00:24:53,200 physical reality 700 00:24:57,029 --> 00:24:55,039 and in that sense they often think of 701 00:24:57,590 --> 00:24:57,039 them as creator kind of beings that are 702 00:24:59,909 --> 00:24:57,600 coming 703 00:25:00,950 --> 00:24:59,919 into this universe from some external 704 00:25:02,950 --> 00:25:00,960 position 705 00:25:07,269 --> 00:25:02,960 that really is outside space time 706 00:25:10,630 --> 00:25:09,510 now beyond the main categories we've 707 00:25:12,470 --> 00:25:10,640 already discussed 708 00:25:14,710 --> 00:25:12,480 and the various hypotheses that fall 709 00:25:17,029 --> 00:25:14,720 within those different categories 710 00:25:18,390 --> 00:25:17,039 there are some even more out there ideas 711 00:25:21,430 --> 00:25:18,400 that really stretch 712 00:25:23,669 --> 00:25:21,440 things even more ideas like tulpas 713 00:25:25,830 --> 00:25:23,679 here the idea is that human beings are 714 00:25:28,310 --> 00:25:25,840 actually somehow manifesting 715 00:25:30,630 --> 00:25:28,320 these realities that they are real that 716 00:25:32,870 --> 00:25:30,640 they have a physical reality 717 00:25:33,990 --> 00:25:32,880 they are actually manifesting in 718 00:25:36,630 --> 00:25:34,000 measurable ways 719 00:25:37,590 --> 00:25:36,640 in our reality but it's still a 720 00:25:40,870 --> 00:25:37,600 projection 721 00:25:42,390 --> 00:25:40,880 that ultimately finds its root in human 722 00:25:44,789 --> 00:25:42,400 consciousness 723 00:25:46,710 --> 00:25:44,799 now you might think this sounds bizarre 724 00:25:48,470 --> 00:25:46,720 and unlikely but there have been some 725 00:25:51,269 --> 00:25:48,480 amazing cases 726 00:25:53,029 --> 00:25:51,279 where groups have got together imagined 727 00:25:55,909 --> 00:25:53,039 a certain character 728 00:25:56,950 --> 00:25:55,919 projected this and then started getting 729 00:25:59,510 --> 00:25:56,960 responses 730 00:26:01,669 --> 00:25:59,520 in things like a seance to suggest that 731 00:26:04,310 --> 00:26:01,679 this being that they imagined together 732 00:26:08,230 --> 00:26:04,320 has taken on some sort of reality 733 00:26:10,950 --> 00:26:08,240 bizarre and yet documented as true 734 00:26:13,029 --> 00:26:10,960 another possibility is that this is a 735 00:26:15,830 --> 00:26:13,039 manifestation of our collective 736 00:26:16,549 --> 00:26:15,840 unconscious or of the life force itself 737 00:26:18,549 --> 00:26:16,559 that 738 00:26:20,230 --> 00:26:18,559 the life force whatever you consider 739 00:26:22,950 --> 00:26:20,240 that to be manifest 740 00:26:24,789 --> 00:26:22,960 certain realities at certain points in 741 00:26:29,430 --> 00:26:24,799 our evolutionary history 742 00:26:33,909 --> 00:26:32,070 now as i mentioned in the introduction 743 00:26:36,230 --> 00:26:33,919 when you look into this phenomenon 744 00:26:38,310 --> 00:26:36,240 for any amount of time with any amount 745 00:26:40,390 --> 00:26:38,320 of committed energy 746 00:26:42,950 --> 00:26:40,400 it inevitably leads to some very 747 00:26:46,149 --> 00:26:42,960 perplexing but fascinating questions 748 00:26:47,269 --> 00:26:46,159 about ultimate reality itself it's 749 00:26:49,830 --> 00:26:47,279 almost impossible 750 00:26:51,590 --> 00:26:49,840 to not end up there when you really look 751 00:26:53,909 --> 00:26:51,600 at the data 752 00:26:56,390 --> 00:26:53,919 the truth is from what we can see not 753 00:26:58,789 --> 00:26:56,400 just in the ufo phenomenon but even 754 00:27:01,110 --> 00:26:58,799 in psychic research that's been done in 755 00:27:03,190 --> 00:27:01,120 parapsychological circles 756 00:27:04,230 --> 00:27:03,200 it seems to be the case that reality is 757 00:27:07,430 --> 00:27:04,240 amorphous 758 00:27:09,350 --> 00:27:07,440 and really nebulous in nature 759 00:27:11,909 --> 00:27:09,360 and right now even though some won't 760 00:27:15,110 --> 00:27:11,919 admit it there are some crises going on 761 00:27:16,950 --> 00:27:15,120 within various scientific endeavors 762 00:27:18,950 --> 00:27:16,960 this is true certainly in the behavioral 763 00:27:21,110 --> 00:27:18,960 sciences in the physical sciences the 764 00:27:23,750 --> 00:27:21,120 biological sciences 765 00:27:25,590 --> 00:27:23,760 where they are coming across data much 766 00:27:27,350 --> 00:27:25,600 like what happened with physics with the 767 00:27:28,389 --> 00:27:27,360 double slit experiment and the quantum 768 00:27:31,350 --> 00:27:28,399 world 769 00:27:31,990 --> 00:27:31,360 where former notions are being thrown 770 00:27:35,430 --> 00:27:32,000 out the door 771 00:27:37,830 --> 00:27:35,440 so to speak 772 00:27:41,029 --> 00:27:37,840 and by the way speaking of that as the 773 00:27:43,750 --> 00:27:41,039 reality of the ufo phenomenon hits home 774 00:27:44,389 --> 00:27:43,760 both in the public and in our academic 775 00:27:48,149 --> 00:27:44,399 circles 776 00:27:50,470 --> 00:27:48,159 is happening now 777 00:27:52,630 --> 00:27:50,480 almost daily there are stories coming 778 00:27:54,710 --> 00:27:52,640 out now in mainstream media 779 00:27:56,710 --> 00:27:54,720 this seems to be finally hitting home 780 00:27:59,590 --> 00:27:56,720 for millions of people 781 00:28:01,029 --> 00:27:59,600 and soon will be billions of people as 782 00:28:03,590 --> 00:28:01,039 that begins to hit home 783 00:28:04,230 --> 00:28:03,600 you're going to see some major wrestling 784 00:28:07,750 --> 00:28:04,240 going on 785 00:28:09,510 --> 00:28:07,760 in society because as i just pointed out 786 00:28:11,590 --> 00:28:09,520 the reality of this phenomenon 787 00:28:14,389 --> 00:28:11,600 inevitably leads to some very 788 00:28:15,990 --> 00:28:14,399 complex perplexing questions about 789 00:28:17,269 --> 00:28:16,000 reality itself 790 00:28:19,510 --> 00:28:17,279 and you're going to have all that 791 00:28:20,710 --> 00:28:19,520 happening at the same time now you might 792 00:28:22,630 --> 00:28:20,720 not see it happening 793 00:28:24,870 --> 00:28:22,640 all at the same time you might see it 794 00:28:25,510 --> 00:28:24,880 happen step by step by step because it's 795 00:28:27,909 --> 00:28:25,520 going to take 796 00:28:29,430 --> 00:28:27,919 people some time to catch up with this 797 00:28:31,029 --> 00:28:29,440 data and process it 798 00:28:33,350 --> 00:28:31,039 remember a lot of us that are obsessed 799 00:28:36,549 --> 00:28:33,360 with this topic have been 800 00:28:38,630 --> 00:28:36,559 you know digesting this data for years 801 00:28:40,389 --> 00:28:38,640 but this is now hitting the general 802 00:28:43,669 --> 00:28:40,399 society and that's going to be very 803 00:28:47,190 --> 00:28:46,389 now speaking of that some people are 804 00:28:49,590 --> 00:28:47,200 frustrated 805 00:28:51,990 --> 00:28:49,600 and even disappointed some are even 806 00:28:53,029 --> 00:28:52,000 disturbed by the fact that we don't have 807 00:28:55,029 --> 00:28:53,039 a solid 808 00:28:56,470 --> 00:28:55,039 polished perspective on the nature of 809 00:28:57,990 --> 00:28:56,480 reality itself 810 00:29:00,389 --> 00:28:58,000 let alone on the nature of these 811 00:29:02,389 --> 00:29:00,399 apparently non-human intelligences 812 00:29:03,830 --> 00:29:02,399 already in our midst and interacting 813 00:29:06,389 --> 00:29:03,840 with us 814 00:29:07,830 --> 00:29:06,399 now i don't take that view because as 815 00:29:09,750 --> 00:29:07,840 i've said before 816 00:29:11,990 --> 00:29:09,760 i believe this journey is as much an 817 00:29:14,389 --> 00:29:12,000 adventure to be embarked upon 818 00:29:15,350 --> 00:29:14,399 with the enthusiasm and wonder of a 819 00:29:19,110 --> 00:29:15,360 child 820 00:29:21,750 --> 00:29:19,120 as it is a problem to be solved 821 00:29:22,950 --> 00:29:21,760 and on that note we've come to the close 822 00:29:25,750 --> 00:29:22,960 of another edition 823 00:29:26,389 --> 00:29:25,760 of the point of convergence podcast as 824 00:29:29,029 --> 00:29:26,399 always 825 00:29:30,389 --> 00:29:29,039 let's keep this conversation going and 826 00:29:32,710 --> 00:29:30,399 growing 827 00:29:34,230 --> 00:29:32,720 but until next time friends from deep 828 00:29:37,669 --> 00:29:34,240 within the blue ridge mountains
