1 00:00:02,830 --> 00:00:07,990 [Music] 2 00:00:11,669 --> 00:00:08,950 hello 3 00:00:13,910 --> 00:00:11,679 and welcome to episode number 27 of the 4 00:00:18,550 --> 00:00:13,920 point of convergence podcast 5 00:00:20,870 --> 00:00:18,560 as always i'm your host exo academian 6 00:00:22,390 --> 00:00:20,880 over the last several weeks and months 7 00:00:24,630 --> 00:00:22,400 leading up to a uap 8 00:00:25,670 --> 00:00:24,640 task force report delivered to congress 9 00:00:27,429 --> 00:00:25,680 recently 10 00:00:29,589 --> 00:00:27,439 the chatter about evidence for the 11 00:00:32,310 --> 00:00:29,599 presence of bona fide ufos 12 00:00:32,950 --> 00:00:32,320 unidentified flying objects already in 13 00:00:35,270 --> 00:00:32,960 our midst 14 00:00:36,549 --> 00:00:35,280 here on planet earth buzzing in and 15 00:00:39,510 --> 00:00:36,559 around our skies 16 00:00:41,350 --> 00:00:39,520 has risen to a near fever pitch and 17 00:00:43,350 --> 00:00:41,360 while some are determined to dismiss 18 00:00:45,750 --> 00:00:43,360 every one of these sightings no matter 19 00:00:47,510 --> 00:00:45,760 how well attested by a combination of 20 00:00:49,510 --> 00:00:47,520 expert witness testimony and 21 00:00:51,750 --> 00:00:49,520 sophisticated sensor data 22 00:00:53,510 --> 00:00:51,760 as merely misunderstood examples of 23 00:00:55,750 --> 00:00:53,520 prosaic phenomena 24 00:00:58,470 --> 00:00:55,760 there is a growing openness even amongst 25 00:01:01,029 --> 00:00:58,480 a skeptical slice of mainstream media 26 00:01:03,029 --> 00:01:01,039 academia and the political set to at 27 00:01:05,109 --> 00:01:03,039 least consider the possibility that 28 00:01:07,270 --> 00:01:05,119 these craft are being controlled by a 29 00:01:11,190 --> 00:01:07,280 genuine form of advanced 30 00:01:15,429 --> 00:01:13,350 while the pace at which this openness to 31 00:01:17,510 --> 00:01:15,439 non-conventional explanations 32 00:01:19,510 --> 00:01:17,520 has grown steadily over the last few 33 00:01:21,350 --> 00:01:19,520 months and really years 34 00:01:23,030 --> 00:01:21,360 it's of course still not happening to a 35 00:01:25,590 --> 00:01:23,040 degree that satisfies 36 00:01:26,070 --> 00:01:25,600 most of us who are convinced and have 37 00:01:28,310 --> 00:01:26,080 been for 38 00:01:29,590 --> 00:01:28,320 years in fact after having studied the 39 00:01:32,710 --> 00:01:29,600 data closely 40 00:01:35,109 --> 00:01:32,720 that the ufo phenomenon is real 41 00:01:36,710 --> 00:01:35,119 nevertheless whether one is a veteran in 42 00:01:39,670 --> 00:01:36,720 non-terrestrial affairs 43 00:01:39,990 --> 00:01:39,680 or somewhat new to the entire topic a 44 00:01:43,109 --> 00:01:40,000 key 45 00:01:43,510 --> 00:01:43,119 question that inevitably arises is if 46 00:01:46,230 --> 00:01:43,520 these 47 00:01:46,870 --> 00:01:46,240 others really are not just out there but 48 00:01:49,670 --> 00:01:46,880 here 49 00:01:51,190 --> 00:01:49,680 stationed in and around our planet what 50 00:01:53,670 --> 00:01:51,200 are their intentions 51 00:01:55,590 --> 00:01:53,680 what do they intend to do and are their 52 00:01:57,350 --> 00:01:55,600 ultimate intentions benevolent or 53 00:01:59,190 --> 00:01:57,360 nefarious 54 00:02:00,709 --> 00:01:59,200 as has been discussed before on this 55 00:02:02,630 --> 00:02:00,719 very podcast 56 00:02:03,830 --> 00:02:02,640 when it comes to our attempt to answer 57 00:02:06,310 --> 00:02:03,840 that question 58 00:02:07,109 --> 00:02:06,320 we are not as some strangely seem to 59 00:02:09,350 --> 00:02:07,119 assume 60 00:02:11,270 --> 00:02:09,360 working with nothing but our own biases 61 00:02:13,910 --> 00:02:11,280 and assumptions here 62 00:02:15,830 --> 00:02:13,920 no in fact there is a very extensive and 63 00:02:16,869 --> 00:02:15,840 well-supported body of literature that 64 00:02:19,110 --> 00:02:16,879 now exists 65 00:02:20,150 --> 00:02:19,120 that speaks to this very question as to 66 00:02:22,630 --> 00:02:20,160 the intentions 67 00:02:24,309 --> 00:02:22,640 of these sophisticated non-human 68 00:02:26,150 --> 00:02:24,319 intelligences 69 00:02:28,550 --> 00:02:26,160 here i speak of what is often referred 70 00:02:30,790 --> 00:02:28,560 to as the experiencer literature 71 00:02:32,229 --> 00:02:30,800 the body of data that represents what 72 00:02:34,790 --> 00:02:32,239 these apparent others 73 00:02:36,229 --> 00:02:34,800 have told human beings who've come into 74 00:02:38,710 --> 00:02:36,239 contact with them 75 00:02:42,550 --> 00:02:38,720 about their very aims and intentions 76 00:02:46,790 --> 00:02:44,630 now some will look at this body of data 77 00:02:49,190 --> 00:02:46,800 much of which is self-corroborating 78 00:02:50,070 --> 00:02:49,200 and argue that while that's all well and 79 00:02:51,910 --> 00:02:50,080 good 80 00:02:53,670 --> 00:02:51,920 how do we know we're not just advancing 81 00:02:55,750 --> 00:02:53,680 our own hopes and biases 82 00:02:57,430 --> 00:02:55,760 in the form of a kind of collective 83 00:03:00,229 --> 00:02:57,440 wishful thinking 84 00:03:02,309 --> 00:03:00,239 after all some of these people would ask 85 00:03:04,229 --> 00:03:02,319 what evidence do we have to suggest 86 00:03:06,309 --> 00:03:04,239 they would regard us as any more 87 00:03:09,830 --> 00:03:06,319 significant and worthy of 88 00:03:11,190 --> 00:03:09,840 keeping around than ants if they really 89 00:03:13,430 --> 00:03:11,200 are as sophisticated 90 00:03:15,190 --> 00:03:13,440 both in terms of technological prowess 91 00:03:17,830 --> 00:03:15,200 and advanced intelligence 92 00:03:19,830 --> 00:03:17,840 as compared to us what's to say they 93 00:03:21,990 --> 00:03:19,840 would give us the time of day 94 00:03:23,589 --> 00:03:22,000 any more than we would do to a mound of 95 00:03:26,949 --> 00:03:23,599 insects making a mess 96 00:03:28,789 --> 00:03:26,959 of our backyard while these are fair 97 00:03:30,869 --> 00:03:28,799 questions one certainly worthy of 98 00:03:31,990 --> 00:03:30,879 addressing considering the clear 99 00:03:35,190 --> 00:03:32,000 superiority these 100 00:03:36,869 --> 00:03:35,200 apparent others do demonstrate over us 101 00:03:39,509 --> 00:03:36,879 there is actually more than just the 102 00:03:41,830 --> 00:03:39,519 experiencer literature available to us 103 00:03:43,750 --> 00:03:41,840 that suggests that we can indeed draw 104 00:03:46,630 --> 00:03:43,760 some tentative conclusions 105 00:03:47,509 --> 00:03:46,640 as to the purpose and intent of these 106 00:03:50,710 --> 00:03:47,519 quote-unquote 107 00:03:52,710 --> 00:03:50,720 aliens these non-human intelligences now 108 00:03:54,390 --> 00:03:52,720 making our acquaintance 109 00:03:56,470 --> 00:03:54,400 here i speak of the predictable 110 00:03:59,589 --> 00:03:56,480 directionality of the evolutionary 111 00:04:00,949 --> 00:03:59,599 development of sentient species 112 00:04:03,429 --> 00:04:00,959 what does this predictable 113 00:04:04,550 --> 00:04:03,439 directionality tell us about the likely 114 00:04:07,589 --> 00:04:04,560 perspectives 115 00:04:09,350 --> 00:04:07,599 of these advanced non-human others and 116 00:04:11,229 --> 00:04:09,360 what assurance do we have 117 00:04:13,589 --> 00:04:11,239 these notions are not merely 118 00:04:16,150 --> 00:04:13,599 species-centric prejudices 119 00:04:18,229 --> 00:04:16,160 projected onto species that are anything 120 00:04:20,550 --> 00:04:18,239 but human 121 00:04:21,830 --> 00:04:20,560 these are intriguing and considering our 122 00:04:23,990 --> 00:04:21,840 current situation 123 00:04:26,390 --> 00:04:24,000 essential questions for us as a 124 00:04:28,550 --> 00:04:26,400 civilization to address 125 00:04:29,510 --> 00:04:28,560 these are the very issues we'll tackle 126 00:04:31,909 --> 00:04:29,520 head on 127 00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:31,919 here in the 27th episode of the point of 128 00:04:42,629 --> 00:04:39,909 [Music] 129 00:04:43,990 --> 00:04:42,639 as we begin this week's podcast let's 130 00:04:46,469 --> 00:04:44,000 address this issue of 131 00:04:47,270 --> 00:04:46,479 the credibility of witnesses because 132 00:04:49,189 --> 00:04:47,280 skeptics 133 00:04:50,950 --> 00:04:49,199 regarding the ufo phenomenon will 134 00:04:54,310 --> 00:04:50,960 frequently bring this up 135 00:04:57,110 --> 00:04:54,320 they think believers quote unquote 136 00:04:59,749 --> 00:04:57,120 lean too much on witness testimony so 137 00:05:01,990 --> 00:04:59,759 what can we say about witness testimony 138 00:05:04,390 --> 00:05:02,000 and its validity when it comes to trying 139 00:05:06,950 --> 00:05:04,400 to make decisions about the credibility 140 00:05:10,710 --> 00:05:06,960 of something as world shattering as the 141 00:05:13,189 --> 00:05:10,720 ufo phenomenon 142 00:05:14,790 --> 00:05:13,199 well first off not all witnesses are 143 00:05:17,270 --> 00:05:14,800 created equal 144 00:05:18,150 --> 00:05:17,280 we do need to be discerning about who we 145 00:05:20,469 --> 00:05:18,160 listen to 146 00:05:22,550 --> 00:05:20,479 we do need to check people's backgrounds 147 00:05:26,230 --> 00:05:22,560 we do need to look into if they have 148 00:05:27,749 --> 00:05:26,240 other motivations for coming forward 149 00:05:30,070 --> 00:05:27,759 jacques villa is a good example of 150 00:05:31,830 --> 00:05:30,080 someone who does his homework 151 00:05:33,909 --> 00:05:31,840 he does as much as he can 152 00:05:34,870 --> 00:05:33,919 preparatorially to find out if the 153 00:05:39,029 --> 00:05:34,880 witnesses he 154 00:05:41,510 --> 00:05:39,039 interviews are likely credible 155 00:05:43,590 --> 00:05:41,520 now one of the ways that valet finds out 156 00:05:45,029 --> 00:05:43,600 about the potential credibility of a 157 00:05:47,590 --> 00:05:45,039 potential witness 158 00:05:48,230 --> 00:05:47,600 is by looking into their background 159 00:05:50,310 --> 00:05:48,240 interviewing 160 00:05:51,990 --> 00:05:50,320 their family and friends looking into 161 00:05:53,510 --> 00:05:52,000 their professional career 162 00:05:55,830 --> 00:05:53,520 sometimes even looking into their 163 00:05:56,309 --> 00:05:55,840 financial background to find out again 164 00:05:58,070 --> 00:05:56,319 if they 165 00:05:59,749 --> 00:05:58,080 would have some sort of financial 166 00:06:01,510 --> 00:05:59,759 interest in coming forward 167 00:06:03,350 --> 00:06:01,520 even though people don't make nearly as 168 00:06:06,070 --> 00:06:03,360 much money off this kind of thing as 169 00:06:07,749 --> 00:06:06,080 skeptics sometimes assume but we can 170 00:06:11,749 --> 00:06:07,759 look into all those things 171 00:06:13,590 --> 00:06:11,759 because for our own credibility in terms 172 00:06:15,189 --> 00:06:13,600 of people who want to put this forward 173 00:06:16,309 --> 00:06:15,199 as something that's valid that needs to 174 00:06:18,870 --> 00:06:16,319 be studied 175 00:06:21,270 --> 00:06:18,880 by our scientific community we need to 176 00:06:23,670 --> 00:06:21,280 do our homework not make assumptions 177 00:06:25,749 --> 00:06:23,680 do our best job of determining the 178 00:06:28,150 --> 00:06:25,759 credibility of witnesses we want to put 179 00:06:30,070 --> 00:06:28,160 forward 180 00:06:32,309 --> 00:06:30,080 now there's also the matter of strength 181 00:06:34,230 --> 00:06:32,319 in numbers last week we discussed the 182 00:06:37,189 --> 00:06:34,240 figure of richard lang 183 00:06:38,309 --> 00:06:37,199 who is a researcher who has worked for 184 00:06:40,870 --> 00:06:38,319 airport authorities 185 00:06:42,629 --> 00:06:40,880 and the department of homeland security 186 00:06:44,230 --> 00:06:42,639 he admitted that when he first started 187 00:06:46,710 --> 00:06:44,240 interviewing witnesses 188 00:06:48,469 --> 00:06:46,720 who had apparently come into contact 189 00:06:51,670 --> 00:06:48,479 with non-human intelligences 190 00:06:53,830 --> 00:06:51,680 aliens he was highly skeptical in fact 191 00:06:54,870 --> 00:06:53,840 he assumed these people were mentally 192 00:06:58,390 --> 00:06:54,880 unstable 193 00:07:00,070 --> 00:06:58,400 or were looking for fame or money 194 00:07:01,990 --> 00:07:00,080 but as he interviewed more and more of 195 00:07:04,230 --> 00:07:02,000 them he began to realize 196 00:07:05,749 --> 00:07:04,240 their stories were remarkably similar 197 00:07:07,270 --> 00:07:05,759 even though they didn't know each other 198 00:07:09,110 --> 00:07:07,280 sometimes they were even from quite 199 00:07:11,990 --> 00:07:09,120 different cultural backgrounds 200 00:07:14,150 --> 00:07:12,000 different class backgrounds across the 201 00:07:15,909 --> 00:07:14,160 board there were remarkable similarities 202 00:07:17,189 --> 00:07:15,919 and whenever that happens that's a 203 00:07:19,430 --> 00:07:17,199 strong indicator 204 00:07:23,029 --> 00:07:19,440 that something real is happening and 205 00:07:26,150 --> 00:07:23,039 being reported by these people 206 00:07:26,629 --> 00:07:26,160 lastly let me just add that contrary to 207 00:07:29,430 --> 00:07:26,639 the 208 00:07:30,629 --> 00:07:29,440 opinion of many skeptics many 209 00:07:33,110 --> 00:07:30,639 experiencers 210 00:07:33,670 --> 00:07:33,120 do not want to come forward do not want 211 00:07:36,230 --> 00:07:33,680 to be 212 00:07:36,710 --> 00:07:36,240 associated with this topic because they 213 00:07:39,110 --> 00:07:36,720 know 214 00:07:40,550 --> 00:07:39,120 about the stigma in our culture even 215 00:07:43,110 --> 00:07:40,560 today 216 00:07:45,270 --> 00:07:43,120 many people would indeed rather be 217 00:07:47,350 --> 00:07:45,280 considered mentally ill find out they 218 00:07:49,510 --> 00:07:47,360 are indeed mentally ill 219 00:07:50,950 --> 00:07:49,520 than have to confront this idea that 220 00:07:54,550 --> 00:07:50,960 they've been contacted 221 00:07:55,589 --> 00:07:54,560 or abducted by aliens sherry wilde is an 222 00:07:57,510 --> 00:07:55,599 american 223 00:07:59,270 --> 00:07:57,520 experiencer that we've discussed before 224 00:08:00,469 --> 00:07:59,280 who went through this very phase 225 00:08:02,790 --> 00:08:00,479 she actually went to several 226 00:08:04,390 --> 00:08:02,800 psychologists hoping they would prove 227 00:08:06,150 --> 00:08:04,400 that she was mentally ill 228 00:08:08,869 --> 00:08:06,160 so she wouldn't have to confront this 229 00:08:09,510 --> 00:08:08,879 very notion that aliens were contacting 230 00:08:13,990 --> 00:08:09,520 her 231 00:08:17,670 --> 00:08:16,469 so now that we've established who these 232 00:08:19,749 --> 00:08:17,680 experiencers are 233 00:08:21,830 --> 00:08:19,759 that actually it's a broad swath of 234 00:08:24,070 --> 00:08:21,840 people from all across the planet 235 00:08:26,070 --> 00:08:24,080 with very different backgrounds some who 236 00:08:29,510 --> 00:08:26,080 had zero interest in this topic 237 00:08:32,310 --> 00:08:29,520 whatsoever let's now talk about the 238 00:08:34,790 --> 00:08:32,320 messages they have received 239 00:08:36,230 --> 00:08:34,800 first off before we go there let's just 240 00:08:39,110 --> 00:08:36,240 remind ourselves of just 241 00:08:41,589 --> 00:08:39,120 how many people have been contacted this 242 00:08:43,430 --> 00:08:41,599 is actually not a rare occurrence 243 00:08:45,829 --> 00:08:43,440 as i discussed with stuart davis 244 00:08:49,030 --> 00:08:45,839 yesterday when he interviewed me for the 245 00:08:51,110 --> 00:08:49,040 aliens and artists podcast very few 246 00:08:54,389 --> 00:08:51,120 people who have these experiences come 247 00:08:57,110 --> 00:08:54,399 forward even today now some have put 248 00:08:59,829 --> 00:08:57,120 forward numbers like one in ten 249 00:09:01,990 --> 00:08:59,839 i think as the steward that it's much 250 00:09:04,550 --> 00:09:02,000 less common than that 251 00:09:05,030 --> 00:09:04,560 i think this is so discombobulating for 252 00:09:07,110 --> 00:09:05,040 people 253 00:09:08,790 --> 00:09:07,120 not just because of the stigma and how 254 00:09:12,070 --> 00:09:08,800 this is going to be received 255 00:09:15,430 --> 00:09:12,080 but because the experience is so far out 256 00:09:18,710 --> 00:09:15,440 of our usual expectation of reality 257 00:09:20,790 --> 00:09:18,720 that many just compartmentalize it never 258 00:09:24,070 --> 00:09:20,800 deal with it try not to anyway 259 00:09:25,829 --> 00:09:24,080 so only a few people of the totality are 260 00:09:27,110 --> 00:09:25,839 actually coming forward let's keep that 261 00:09:28,790 --> 00:09:27,120 in mind 262 00:09:31,269 --> 00:09:28,800 but of those that are coming forward 263 00:09:33,110 --> 00:09:31,279 there is a remarkable consistency 264 00:09:34,829 --> 00:09:33,120 in the reporting of the messages they 265 00:09:37,670 --> 00:09:34,839 receive from these 266 00:09:39,190 --> 00:09:37,680 others 267 00:09:41,030 --> 00:09:39,200 now before we go through this bullet 268 00:09:43,990 --> 00:09:41,040 list of the common threads 269 00:09:46,230 --> 00:09:44,000 shared with human beings by these others 270 00:09:47,190 --> 00:09:46,240 let me just offer the caveat as i often 271 00:09:49,990 --> 00:09:47,200 like to do 272 00:09:50,870 --> 00:09:50,000 that while we refer to this as the ufo 273 00:09:53,030 --> 00:09:50,880 phenomenon 274 00:09:54,550 --> 00:09:53,040 because it's convenient it's almost 275 00:09:57,110 --> 00:09:54,560 certainly phenomena 276 00:09:58,470 --> 00:09:57,120 involving multiple actors with perhaps 277 00:10:00,949 --> 00:09:58,480 very different origins 278 00:10:02,230 --> 00:10:00,959 some may be extraterrestrial some may be 279 00:10:04,230 --> 00:10:02,240 ultra-terrestrial 280 00:10:05,350 --> 00:10:04,240 some may be of an origin that we haven't 281 00:10:07,190 --> 00:10:05,360 even imagined yet 282 00:10:08,389 --> 00:10:07,200 i think that's quite likely all of the 283 00:10:10,949 --> 00:10:08,399 above 284 00:10:11,750 --> 00:10:10,959 and not all of them share the same 285 00:10:15,030 --> 00:10:11,760 intentions 286 00:10:16,310 --> 00:10:15,040 motivations agendas let's keep that in 287 00:10:18,870 --> 00:10:16,320 mind 288 00:10:20,310 --> 00:10:18,880 nevertheless what the body of data shows 289 00:10:21,430 --> 00:10:20,320 us and we talked about this when we 290 00:10:24,150 --> 00:10:21,440 discussed the free 291 00:10:24,710 --> 00:10:24,160 experiencer study for instance what it 292 00:10:27,430 --> 00:10:24,720 shows us 293 00:10:28,790 --> 00:10:27,440 is there is a remarkable consistency in 294 00:10:31,590 --> 00:10:28,800 what people are told 295 00:10:35,110 --> 00:10:31,600 by many of these highly advanced 296 00:10:39,190 --> 00:10:37,509 so let's go through this bullet list of 297 00:10:40,230 --> 00:10:39,200 messages that have been shared with 298 00:10:42,470 --> 00:10:40,240 human beings 299 00:10:44,630 --> 00:10:42,480 by these others with remarkable 300 00:10:46,949 --> 00:10:44,640 consistency 301 00:10:49,269 --> 00:10:46,959 number one people often hear about a 302 00:10:52,550 --> 00:10:49,279 sense of brother and sisterhood 303 00:10:54,150 --> 00:10:52,560 that they see us as family that they 304 00:10:56,389 --> 00:10:54,160 have developed beyond 305 00:10:58,310 --> 00:10:56,399 dualistic notions and they have moved 306 00:11:01,590 --> 00:10:58,320 towards a sense of oneness 307 00:11:02,630 --> 00:11:01,600 and they see us as part and parcel with 308 00:11:05,990 --> 00:11:02,640 them 309 00:11:10,550 --> 00:11:06,000 significant 310 00:11:12,550 --> 00:11:10,560 important and in some ways indivisible 311 00:11:14,310 --> 00:11:12,560 number two they have a concern about the 312 00:11:15,990 --> 00:11:14,320 particularly perilous stage of 313 00:11:16,790 --> 00:11:16,000 development we're currently going 314 00:11:18,550 --> 00:11:16,800 through 315 00:11:21,110 --> 00:11:18,560 specifically since the dawn of the 316 00:11:22,790 --> 00:11:21,120 atomic age 317 00:11:24,389 --> 00:11:22,800 we've talked about this before when we 318 00:11:28,150 --> 00:11:24,399 discussed the latest book by 319 00:11:29,110 --> 00:11:28,160 jacques valle since the atomic age there 320 00:11:31,430 --> 00:11:29,120 seems to have been an 321 00:11:32,710 --> 00:11:31,440 uptick in their presence here and their 322 00:11:35,190 --> 00:11:32,720 level of intervention 323 00:11:37,350 --> 00:11:35,200 arguably anyway and that would make 324 00:11:39,910 --> 00:11:37,360 sense because we have been 325 00:11:41,110 --> 00:11:39,920 at the precipice of self-disaster ever 326 00:11:44,630 --> 00:11:41,120 since we detonated 327 00:11:49,110 --> 00:11:47,269 they have also shared with consistency 328 00:11:50,629 --> 00:11:49,120 that their concern is not just for the 329 00:11:52,870 --> 00:11:50,639 human species 330 00:11:54,550 --> 00:11:52,880 again because they are highly advanced 331 00:11:56,790 --> 00:11:54,560 in terms of consciousness 332 00:11:58,710 --> 00:11:56,800 they also have great concerns for the 333 00:12:01,430 --> 00:11:58,720 entire biosphere of the planet 334 00:12:02,230 --> 00:12:01,440 for animal species and even there has 335 00:12:05,590 --> 00:12:02,240 been some 336 00:12:06,790 --> 00:12:05,600 sense of the gaia energy the spirit of 337 00:12:09,910 --> 00:12:06,800 the earth itself 338 00:12:10,870 --> 00:12:09,920 reaching out across the cosmos to these 339 00:12:12,710 --> 00:12:10,880 others 340 00:12:13,990 --> 00:12:12,720 in distress because of what we're doing 341 00:12:16,150 --> 00:12:14,000 to the planet 342 00:12:17,430 --> 00:12:16,160 now some may find that a stretch some 343 00:12:19,910 --> 00:12:17,440 may find that 344 00:12:22,550 --> 00:12:19,920 as if it sounds too new-agey and yet 345 00:12:24,629 --> 00:12:22,560 this has been reported consistently 346 00:12:26,150 --> 00:12:24,639 concern for the biosphere concern for 347 00:12:28,710 --> 00:12:26,160 animals as well as 348 00:12:32,470 --> 00:12:28,720 human civilization and even concern for 349 00:12:35,670 --> 00:12:34,150 now as i've mentioned before on this 350 00:12:39,350 --> 00:12:35,680 podcast what 351 00:12:40,470 --> 00:12:39,360 is bizarre intriguing but bewildering 352 00:12:42,150 --> 00:12:40,480 about this topic 353 00:12:43,670 --> 00:12:42,160 is that if you look into it with any 354 00:12:46,790 --> 00:12:43,680 degree of 355 00:12:49,350 --> 00:12:46,800 energy and consistency over time 356 00:12:51,509 --> 00:12:49,360 looking at all the data one aspect of 357 00:12:52,150 --> 00:12:51,519 the phenomenon inevitably leads you to 358 00:12:54,790 --> 00:12:52,160 another 359 00:12:56,629 --> 00:12:54,800 and it begins to stretch into larger 360 00:12:57,350 --> 00:12:56,639 questions about the nature of reality 361 00:12:58,790 --> 00:12:57,360 itself 362 00:13:00,389 --> 00:12:58,800 the nature of what it means to be a 363 00:13:02,389 --> 00:13:00,399 human being 364 00:13:05,030 --> 00:13:02,399 this entire journey about understanding 365 00:13:07,750 --> 00:13:05,040 this phenomenon is as much about who we 366 00:13:08,150 --> 00:13:07,760 are as who they are i've said it before 367 00:13:11,590 --> 00:13:08,160 and 368 00:13:13,910 --> 00:13:11,600 again 369 00:13:15,670 --> 00:13:13,920 now speaking of that one of the messages 370 00:13:17,750 --> 00:13:15,680 shared by these others 371 00:13:20,069 --> 00:13:17,760 is that our connection with them goes 372 00:13:22,230 --> 00:13:20,079 beyond this lifetime 373 00:13:23,350 --> 00:13:22,240 and it's not just that they tell us that 374 00:13:25,350 --> 00:13:23,360 we hear from 375 00:13:26,949 --> 00:13:25,360 experiencers that when they're on board 376 00:13:28,470 --> 00:13:26,959 the ships or in their 377 00:13:30,310 --> 00:13:28,480 altered state of consciousness where 378 00:13:32,870 --> 00:13:30,320 they're in direct contact with these 379 00:13:36,629 --> 00:13:32,880 others these non-human intelligences 380 00:13:38,949 --> 00:13:36,639 they remember knowing these entities 381 00:13:40,949 --> 00:13:38,959 both when they were young as children 382 00:13:43,829 --> 00:13:40,959 and even before them 383 00:13:46,629 --> 00:13:43,839 in between lifetimes sometimes and 384 00:13:49,030 --> 00:13:46,639 sometimes even in previous lifetimes 385 00:13:50,790 --> 00:13:49,040 and it gets even stranger yet because 386 00:13:53,990 --> 00:13:50,800 some people remember 387 00:13:56,310 --> 00:13:54,000 multiple lifetimes and not always 388 00:13:58,150 --> 00:13:56,320 incarnating as human beings they 389 00:14:00,069 --> 00:13:58,160 sometimes remember that they 390 00:14:02,790 --> 00:14:00,079 in a previous lifetime may have been a 391 00:14:05,110 --> 00:14:02,800 grave for instance 392 00:14:06,949 --> 00:14:05,120 some even find that they have a hybrid 393 00:14:09,110 --> 00:14:06,959 nature that even now 394 00:14:11,590 --> 00:14:09,120 when they are in that modality when they 395 00:14:13,269 --> 00:14:11,600 are on board the ship or in that altered 396 00:14:16,389 --> 00:14:13,279 state of consciousness 397 00:14:18,230 --> 00:14:16,399 they come into contact with a sense of 398 00:14:20,389 --> 00:14:18,240 themselves or something comes online 399 00:14:23,269 --> 00:14:20,399 that reminds them they have an identity 400 00:14:24,389 --> 00:14:23,279 that is partly non-human some hybrids 401 00:14:26,629 --> 00:14:24,399 only realize this 402 00:14:27,509 --> 00:14:26,639 at least initially when they have these 403 00:14:29,829 --> 00:14:27,519 experiences 404 00:14:33,829 --> 00:14:29,839 on board the craft or in this altered 405 00:14:37,829 --> 00:14:36,230 now speaking of hybrids one of the 406 00:14:40,389 --> 00:14:37,839 messages reported 407 00:14:42,790 --> 00:14:40,399 to human beings by these others is that 408 00:14:43,509 --> 00:14:42,800 there are indeed hybridization programs 409 00:14:46,710 --> 00:14:43,519 going on 410 00:14:49,590 --> 00:14:46,720 even vast hybridization programs 411 00:14:51,110 --> 00:14:49,600 and indeed experiences reports seeing 412 00:14:54,069 --> 00:14:51,120 life forms both 413 00:14:55,269 --> 00:14:54,079 infants and toddlers and whatnot on 414 00:14:57,670 --> 00:14:55,279 board these craft 415 00:14:58,870 --> 00:14:57,680 that reportedly look like a cross 416 00:15:01,189 --> 00:14:58,880 between a human being 417 00:15:03,030 --> 00:15:01,199 and something like a gray there's been a 418 00:15:06,069 --> 00:15:03,040 wide variety of life forms 419 00:15:08,470 --> 00:15:06,079 observed that only look partly human 420 00:15:10,550 --> 00:15:08,480 there are also some entities that look 421 00:15:12,870 --> 00:15:10,560 remarkably human that could pass as a 422 00:15:16,069 --> 00:15:12,880 human being but nevertheless 423 00:15:17,750 --> 00:15:16,079 have alien dna in them as well and it's 424 00:15:19,910 --> 00:15:17,760 not just dna it's even 425 00:15:21,269 --> 00:15:19,920 a kind of energetic signature that goes 426 00:15:22,629 --> 00:15:21,279 beyond that it 427 00:15:24,310 --> 00:15:22,639 shows up in a way we don't fully 428 00:15:26,230 --> 00:15:24,320 understand yet 429 00:15:28,069 --> 00:15:26,240 now in terms of why this hybridization 430 00:15:30,629 --> 00:15:28,079 program is going on 431 00:15:31,509 --> 00:15:30,639 one of the messages shared is that it's 432 00:15:34,550 --> 00:15:31,519 to dilute 433 00:15:34,870 --> 00:15:34,560 our more destructive elements that not 434 00:15:36,629 --> 00:15:34,880 just 435 00:15:38,710 --> 00:15:36,639 hybrids are being introduced into the 436 00:15:42,310 --> 00:15:38,720 world but that many people 437 00:15:44,949 --> 00:15:42,320 over time have had their dna manipulated 438 00:15:46,389 --> 00:15:44,959 tweaked in some ways to try and lessen 439 00:15:49,269 --> 00:15:46,399 our more destructive 440 00:15:51,590 --> 00:15:49,279 aggressive tendencies because that sort 441 00:15:54,710 --> 00:15:51,600 of lizard part of our brain that still 442 00:15:56,629 --> 00:15:54,720 acts with fight or flight primarily is 443 00:15:59,269 --> 00:15:56,639 really dangerous especially when we have 444 00:16:01,590 --> 00:15:59,279 the kind of technology we have today 445 00:16:03,749 --> 00:16:01,600 so there's been genetic tweaking going 446 00:16:06,550 --> 00:16:03,759 on to try and diminish those 447 00:16:07,990 --> 00:16:06,560 aspects of who we are as well as 448 00:16:10,310 --> 00:16:08,000 hybridization programs 449 00:16:11,670 --> 00:16:10,320 where beings that are a cross between 450 00:16:14,550 --> 00:16:11,680 these species 451 00:16:15,590 --> 00:16:14,560 and humans are introduced on our planet 452 00:16:18,790 --> 00:16:15,600 and many of these 453 00:16:22,230 --> 00:16:18,800 apparently walk amongst us right now 454 00:16:23,509 --> 00:16:22,240 now as we've discussed before some see 455 00:16:25,990 --> 00:16:23,519 this as a nefarious 456 00:16:27,269 --> 00:16:26,000 strategy that it's a plan to take over 457 00:16:29,350 --> 00:16:27,279 the world 458 00:16:30,389 --> 00:16:29,360 i don't see it that way i fully 459 00:16:32,790 --> 00:16:30,399 understand that we 460 00:16:35,430 --> 00:16:32,800 are a self-destructive species that we 461 00:16:37,670 --> 00:16:35,440 are on the precipice of self-destruction 462 00:16:40,230 --> 00:16:37,680 more so than ever before in our history 463 00:16:41,990 --> 00:16:40,240 because of the nature of our weapons 464 00:16:43,829 --> 00:16:42,000 so this makes sense to me i can 465 00:16:44,470 --> 00:16:43,839 understand it from a consciousness point 466 00:16:47,269 --> 00:16:44,480 of view 467 00:16:47,749 --> 00:16:47,279 and this is indeed what experiences are 468 00:16:51,590 --> 00:16:47,759 told 469 00:16:52,389 --> 00:16:51,600 by these others so i know that was a lot 470 00:16:54,069 --> 00:16:52,399 to take in 471 00:16:55,670 --> 00:16:54,079 but i just wanted to give us a sense of 472 00:16:56,230 --> 00:16:55,680 the general messages that have been 473 00:16:59,910 --> 00:16:56,240 shared 474 00:17:02,069 --> 00:16:59,920 the general tone of the messages overall 475 00:17:03,430 --> 00:17:02,079 very consistently the message shared is 476 00:17:05,350 --> 00:17:03,440 that they mean us well 477 00:17:07,029 --> 00:17:05,360 they're here for our benefit as well as 478 00:17:07,909 --> 00:17:07,039 the benefit of other species on the 479 00:17:10,230 --> 00:17:07,919 planet 480 00:17:12,230 --> 00:17:10,240 and the earth itself and they're here to 481 00:17:13,429 --> 00:17:12,240 help us navigate a particularly 482 00:17:16,549 --> 00:17:13,439 dangerous 483 00:17:17,590 --> 00:17:16,559 stage in our history they also have told 484 00:17:19,990 --> 00:17:17,600 us that they don't see 485 00:17:22,949 --> 00:17:20,000 us as completely independent of them 486 00:17:25,110 --> 00:17:22,959 that we indeed share a history with them 487 00:17:27,189 --> 00:17:25,120 some experiencers have even learned that 488 00:17:29,750 --> 00:17:27,199 there was a vast seating program 489 00:17:32,070 --> 00:17:29,760 that happened billions maybe even 490 00:17:34,870 --> 00:17:32,080 trillions of years ago 491 00:17:37,430 --> 00:17:34,880 across the cosmos and that that partly 492 00:17:39,510 --> 00:17:37,440 explains why the humanoid human looking 493 00:17:42,230 --> 00:17:39,520 kind of entities are encountered so 494 00:17:45,669 --> 00:17:44,070 now that we've covered the messages 495 00:17:47,270 --> 00:17:45,679 shared by these others 496 00:17:49,510 --> 00:17:47,280 let's turn to the second part of this 497 00:17:51,750 --> 00:17:49,520 podcast where we discussed 498 00:17:53,350 --> 00:17:51,760 the evolution of consciousness because 499 00:17:55,669 --> 00:17:53,360 indeed there is evidence 500 00:17:56,470 --> 00:17:55,679 that evolution happens not just on the 501 00:17:59,909 --> 00:17:56,480 exterior 502 00:18:02,390 --> 00:17:59,919 in terms of physiology but that actual 503 00:18:04,230 --> 00:18:02,400 interior evolution happens as well the 504 00:18:07,510 --> 00:18:04,240 evolution of consciousness 505 00:18:10,150 --> 00:18:07,520 for all sentient beings 506 00:18:11,909 --> 00:18:10,160 now in a previous podcast episode titled 507 00:18:14,950 --> 00:18:11,919 disclosure dilemma 508 00:18:16,630 --> 00:18:14,960 i address the fact that how this notion 509 00:18:19,990 --> 00:18:16,640 that non-human intelligences 510 00:18:21,510 --> 00:18:20,000 are here already in our midst will be 511 00:18:23,029 --> 00:18:21,520 handled very differently will be 512 00:18:25,669 --> 00:18:23,039 received very differently 513 00:18:27,669 --> 00:18:25,679 by different cultures around the world 514 00:18:31,029 --> 00:18:27,679 because of the very fact that 515 00:18:32,950 --> 00:18:31,039 those various cultures are operating at 516 00:18:34,950 --> 00:18:32,960 a different level of consciousness that 517 00:18:37,110 --> 00:18:34,960 there's a center of gravity that varies 518 00:18:39,430 --> 00:18:37,120 across the planet 519 00:18:41,430 --> 00:18:39,440 we can look at a center of gravity for 520 00:18:41,990 --> 00:18:41,440 consciousness not just for an individual 521 00:18:44,950 --> 00:18:42,000 but for an 522 00:18:46,549 --> 00:18:44,960 entire culture and depending on the 523 00:18:47,350 --> 00:18:46,559 level of consciousness both of an 524 00:18:49,510 --> 00:18:47,360 individual 525 00:18:50,710 --> 00:18:49,520 and a culture that will largely 526 00:18:52,470 --> 00:18:50,720 determine 527 00:18:54,070 --> 00:18:52,480 how this notion that non-human 528 00:18:57,350 --> 00:18:54,080 intelligences are here 529 00:18:59,990 --> 00:18:57,360 that aliens are here we discussed 530 00:19:02,070 --> 00:19:00,000 something called spiral dynamics which 531 00:19:04,789 --> 00:19:02,080 describes a predictable way 532 00:19:05,510 --> 00:19:04,799 that both individuals and cultures 533 00:19:09,510 --> 00:19:05,520 develop 534 00:19:12,950 --> 00:19:11,270 and now i'd like us to look at the 535 00:19:15,270 --> 00:19:12,960 evolution of consciousness 536 00:19:16,710 --> 00:19:15,280 through a couple of different lenses 537 00:19:19,669 --> 00:19:16,720 first off let's look at 538 00:19:21,830 --> 00:19:19,679 value systems the earliest human beings 539 00:19:23,590 --> 00:19:21,840 had very archaic values we're talking 540 00:19:24,390 --> 00:19:23,600 about the most rudimentary forms of 541 00:19:27,830 --> 00:19:24,400 humanity 542 00:19:28,789 --> 00:19:27,840 and survival basically we evolved from 543 00:19:31,430 --> 00:19:28,799 there to having 544 00:19:32,070 --> 00:19:31,440 magical values here for instance we 545 00:19:34,070 --> 00:19:32,080 would 546 00:19:35,110 --> 00:19:34,080 use rituals and whatnot to try and 547 00:19:38,310 --> 00:19:35,120 change 548 00:19:39,270 --> 00:19:38,320 reality from there we evolved yet again 549 00:19:40,950 --> 00:19:39,280 to what you could call 550 00:19:43,350 --> 00:19:40,960 traditional values here's when the 551 00:19:45,830 --> 00:19:43,360 monotheistic religions came online 552 00:19:46,630 --> 00:19:45,840 and notions that there was a god in 553 00:19:48,390 --> 00:19:46,640 heaven 554 00:19:50,230 --> 00:19:48,400 that determined reality and that you 555 00:19:53,430 --> 00:19:50,240 needed to respond to this god 556 00:19:55,350 --> 00:19:53,440 in order to have favorable outcomes 557 00:19:57,430 --> 00:19:55,360 as we've mentioned before many people 558 00:19:58,390 --> 00:19:57,440 are still at this stage actually around 559 00:20:00,310 --> 00:19:58,400 the world 560 00:20:02,390 --> 00:20:00,320 that while there are more advanced forms 561 00:20:03,669 --> 00:20:02,400 of for instance christianity and islam 562 00:20:05,669 --> 00:20:03,679 and judaism 563 00:20:07,590 --> 00:20:05,679 the majority of people who adopt one of 564 00:20:08,549 --> 00:20:07,600 those religions and are practicing it 565 00:20:11,190 --> 00:20:08,559 today 566 00:20:12,470 --> 00:20:11,200 are practicing an earlier version of it 567 00:20:14,470 --> 00:20:12,480 where there's a quite literal 568 00:20:15,750 --> 00:20:14,480 understanding that there are three tiers 569 00:20:18,789 --> 00:20:15,760 to reality 570 00:20:19,350 --> 00:20:18,799 god and angels above human beings and 571 00:20:22,149 --> 00:20:19,360 animals 572 00:20:22,470 --> 00:20:22,159 on the earth and satan and demons below 573 00:20:25,350 --> 00:20:22,480 and 574 00:20:25,830 --> 00:20:25,360 often these others are mistaken either 575 00:20:29,190 --> 00:20:25,840 for 576 00:20:34,310 --> 00:20:29,200 angels or demons that's the traditional 577 00:20:37,110 --> 00:20:34,320 value set 578 00:20:38,149 --> 00:20:37,120 from there we move to rational modern 579 00:20:40,149 --> 00:20:38,159 values 580 00:20:41,750 --> 00:20:40,159 and here notions like the scientific 581 00:20:43,230 --> 00:20:41,760 method came online 582 00:20:45,190 --> 00:20:43,240 the notion that we could use 583 00:20:48,149 --> 00:20:45,200 experimentation to 584 00:20:49,669 --> 00:20:48,159 find out about the running of reality 585 00:20:52,549 --> 00:20:49,679 that we could understand it 586 00:20:54,230 --> 00:20:52,559 and grow from that develop technologies 587 00:20:55,590 --> 00:20:54,240 that could benefit all of humankind 588 00:20:58,549 --> 00:20:55,600 because of this 589 00:21:00,870 --> 00:20:58,559 this is a rational modern phase with 590 00:21:03,190 --> 00:21:00,880 values that followed suit 591 00:21:05,270 --> 00:21:03,200 also notions like the equality of all 592 00:21:07,669 --> 00:21:05,280 human beings regardless of 593 00:21:09,510 --> 00:21:07,679 their background came online at this 594 00:21:11,270 --> 00:21:09,520 stage 595 00:21:13,270 --> 00:21:11,280 and then we have the adoption of 596 00:21:15,270 --> 00:21:13,280 postmodern values which was 597 00:21:16,390 --> 00:21:15,280 a reaction in many ways to the modern 598 00:21:18,549 --> 00:21:16,400 values 599 00:21:20,870 --> 00:21:18,559 here there was a notion that some of 600 00:21:23,669 --> 00:21:20,880 those systems were actually demeaning 601 00:21:24,710 --> 00:21:23,679 to humankind and that hierarchies were 602 00:21:27,669 --> 00:21:24,720 developing 603 00:21:28,549 --> 00:21:27,679 that belittled some people and favored 604 00:21:31,029 --> 00:21:28,559 others 605 00:21:33,270 --> 00:21:31,039 and there was a notion that these value 606 00:21:35,909 --> 00:21:33,280 structures should be deconstructed 607 00:21:39,750 --> 00:21:35,919 because they were actually dangerous and 608 00:21:43,190 --> 00:21:41,830 at this post-modern stage there was also 609 00:21:44,950 --> 00:21:43,200 a recognition that 610 00:21:46,950 --> 00:21:44,960 some of the gains that came with 611 00:21:48,149 --> 00:21:46,960 modernism in terms of the development of 612 00:21:50,789 --> 00:21:48,159 technology and 613 00:21:52,310 --> 00:21:50,799 industry had actually caused great 614 00:21:53,909 --> 00:21:52,320 damage to the earth 615 00:21:55,510 --> 00:21:53,919 and this birth for instance the 616 00:21:57,990 --> 00:21:55,520 environmental movement 617 00:21:59,430 --> 00:21:58,000 this came as a result of understanding 618 00:22:00,549 --> 00:21:59,440 that while there were gains that came 619 00:22:02,630 --> 00:22:00,559 with modernism 620 00:22:04,070 --> 00:22:02,640 there were a lot of downsides too and 621 00:22:08,230 --> 00:22:04,080 post-modern values 622 00:22:12,070 --> 00:22:09,909 now what's interesting about each of 623 00:22:15,029 --> 00:22:12,080 those different stages and the value 624 00:22:16,149 --> 00:22:15,039 sets belonging to those stages is that 625 00:22:17,830 --> 00:22:16,159 each one 626 00:22:19,510 --> 00:22:17,840 thought it was right and the one 627 00:22:21,110 --> 00:22:19,520 previous to it was wrong 628 00:22:22,870 --> 00:22:21,120 and not just partially wrong but 629 00:22:25,510 --> 00:22:22,880 completely wrong 630 00:22:26,789 --> 00:22:25,520 each stage felt like it had completely 631 00:22:29,990 --> 00:22:26,799 superseded 632 00:22:31,830 --> 00:22:30,000 and made irrelevant and wanted to toss 633 00:22:34,470 --> 00:22:31,840 into the dustbin of history 634 00:22:35,669 --> 00:22:34,480 any and all previous stages this was the 635 00:22:38,149 --> 00:22:35,679 assumption 636 00:22:39,190 --> 00:22:38,159 and these are therefore all called first 637 00:22:42,390 --> 00:22:39,200 tier stages 638 00:22:43,190 --> 00:22:42,400 because of that next up we move into the 639 00:22:44,789 --> 00:22:43,200 second tier 640 00:22:46,470 --> 00:22:44,799 where there actually was a recognition 641 00:22:49,750 --> 00:22:46,480 that each of these stages 642 00:22:51,430 --> 00:22:49,760 in unique ways contributed to human 643 00:22:55,909 --> 00:22:51,440 consciousness and needed to be 644 00:22:59,990 --> 00:22:58,230 so for instance when we get into teal 645 00:23:03,190 --> 00:23:00,000 and turquoise stages that we talked 646 00:23:06,149 --> 00:23:03,200 about on a previous podcast episode 647 00:23:09,110 --> 00:23:06,159 we have notions that while modernism did 648 00:23:09,990 --> 00:23:09,120 indeed cause damage it also contributed 649 00:23:13,029 --> 00:23:10,000 greatly to 650 00:23:16,070 --> 00:23:13,039 human advancement and that while 651 00:23:19,029 --> 00:23:16,080 post-modernism was correct in wanting to 652 00:23:20,149 --> 00:23:19,039 take apart dominator hierarchies that 653 00:23:22,950 --> 00:23:20,159 had formed 654 00:23:23,590 --> 00:23:22,960 artificial hierarchies in a way that 655 00:23:25,510 --> 00:23:23,600 there were 656 00:23:26,789 --> 00:23:25,520 things called growth hierarchies that 657 00:23:29,029 --> 00:23:26,799 appeared in nature that 658 00:23:31,669 --> 00:23:29,039 actually were completely helpful and 659 00:23:35,430 --> 00:23:31,679 part of the evolution of consciousness 660 00:23:37,909 --> 00:23:35,440 we can call these holar keys where each 661 00:23:39,110 --> 00:23:37,919 section becomes part of the next level 662 00:23:42,070 --> 00:23:39,120 of development 663 00:23:44,310 --> 00:23:42,080 so a whole becomes part of the next 664 00:23:48,549 --> 00:23:44,320 level that's a hierarchy where it's 665 00:23:52,789 --> 00:23:50,390 and i've discussed this before on 666 00:23:55,430 --> 00:23:52,799 previous episodes of this podcast 667 00:23:56,630 --> 00:23:55,440 it's about ever-expanding circles of 668 00:23:58,549 --> 00:23:56,640 inclusion 669 00:23:59,750 --> 00:23:58,559 and again just to make this point really 670 00:24:02,230 --> 00:23:59,760 clear 671 00:24:03,909 --> 00:24:02,240 researchers like claire graves who began 672 00:24:05,909 --> 00:24:03,919 spiral dynamics and others who have 673 00:24:08,070 --> 00:24:05,919 taken up this cause since then 674 00:24:09,590 --> 00:24:08,080 have consistently found that there are 675 00:24:11,830 --> 00:24:09,600 predictable ways 676 00:24:12,870 --> 00:24:11,840 that both individuals and entire 677 00:24:15,830 --> 00:24:12,880 societies 678 00:24:17,029 --> 00:24:15,840 evolve that they follow this predictable 679 00:24:19,750 --> 00:24:17,039 trajectory 680 00:24:20,950 --> 00:24:19,760 that leads towards ever increasing ever 681 00:24:24,070 --> 00:24:20,960 expanding 682 00:24:27,269 --> 00:24:24,080 circles of inclusion and even circles of 683 00:24:31,669 --> 00:24:29,590 so if we were to name these different 684 00:24:35,669 --> 00:24:31,679 evolutions of consciousness 685 00:24:39,750 --> 00:24:35,679 we go from egocentric i me mine 686 00:24:43,110 --> 00:24:39,760 to ethnocentric us we ours 687 00:24:45,830 --> 00:24:43,120 to world-centric all human beings 688 00:24:48,310 --> 00:24:45,840 to planet-centric meaning all life on 689 00:24:51,350 --> 00:24:48,320 earth not just human beings 690 00:24:54,549 --> 00:24:51,360 solar centric everything and everyone 691 00:24:57,269 --> 00:24:54,559 in our solar system galactocentric 692 00:24:58,390 --> 00:24:57,279 everyone and everything in the milky way 693 00:25:01,669 --> 00:24:58,400 and finally 694 00:25:04,549 --> 00:25:01,679 cosmocentric and here some will use the 695 00:25:05,669 --> 00:25:04,559 letter k because in this sense cosmos 696 00:25:08,870 --> 00:25:05,679 means not just 697 00:25:10,710 --> 00:25:08,880 the manifest reality physically but also 698 00:25:13,750 --> 00:25:10,720 the unmanifest cosmos 699 00:25:16,149 --> 00:25:13,760 so cosmocentric with a k this is the 700 00:25:17,350 --> 00:25:16,159 predictable trajectory of consciousness 701 00:25:21,110 --> 00:25:17,360 that we find 702 00:25:25,110 --> 00:25:23,990 and when i say all sentient species what 703 00:25:27,110 --> 00:25:25,120 i'm suggesting is 704 00:25:28,390 --> 00:25:27,120 number one we've seen this demonstrated 705 00:25:30,950 --> 00:25:28,400 time and time again 706 00:25:31,669 --> 00:25:30,960 with all various human cultures around 707 00:25:33,430 --> 00:25:31,679 the world 708 00:25:35,430 --> 00:25:33,440 and it is still happening and being 709 00:25:37,909 --> 00:25:35,440 evidenced today 710 00:25:39,750 --> 00:25:37,919 but also this matches remarkably well 711 00:25:41,190 --> 00:25:39,760 with what these others are saying in 712 00:25:42,310 --> 00:25:41,200 terms of their evolution of 713 00:25:44,630 --> 00:25:42,320 consciousness 714 00:25:46,789 --> 00:25:44,640 and if indeed they are more superior 715 00:25:48,870 --> 00:25:46,799 than us they are at a higher level 716 00:25:50,310 --> 00:25:48,880 and their technology certainly suggests 717 00:25:53,269 --> 00:25:50,320 that's the case 718 00:25:55,190 --> 00:25:53,279 then they are sending messages to us 719 00:25:58,070 --> 00:25:55,200 exactly as we would expect 720 00:25:59,750 --> 00:25:58,080 based on a more advanced civilization 721 00:26:02,230 --> 00:25:59,760 they are at a second tier level 722 00:26:05,909 --> 00:26:02,240 or beyond and are communicating from 723 00:26:09,350 --> 00:26:07,590 so i'm saying we can look at this from 724 00:26:11,510 --> 00:26:09,360 two different angles 725 00:26:13,350 --> 00:26:11,520 not only do we hear a consistent message 726 00:26:16,390 --> 00:26:13,360 of peace cooperation 727 00:26:18,789 --> 00:26:16,400 and even oneness from these others 728 00:26:19,990 --> 00:26:18,799 many of them anyway especially the ones 729 00:26:21,990 --> 00:26:20,000 showing signs of 730 00:26:23,750 --> 00:26:22,000 extremely advanced intelligence and 731 00:26:25,750 --> 00:26:23,760 technology 732 00:26:27,669 --> 00:26:25,760 but based on our understanding of the 733 00:26:30,789 --> 00:26:27,679 evolution of consciousness 734 00:26:32,950 --> 00:26:30,799 as discussed in today's podcast 735 00:26:34,870 --> 00:26:32,960 this is exactly the kind of behavior and 736 00:26:37,909 --> 00:26:34,880 message we would predict 737 00:26:40,070 --> 00:26:37,919 based on spiral dynamics this is 738 00:26:42,070 --> 00:26:40,080 somewhat akin to a news reporter who is 739 00:26:42,950 --> 00:26:42,080 able to establish the credibility of one 740 00:26:45,590 --> 00:26:42,960 account 741 00:26:47,430 --> 00:26:45,600 by finding a second unrelated source 742 00:26:50,549 --> 00:26:47,440 that confirms the details 743 00:26:53,269 --> 00:26:50,559 of the first account 744 00:26:54,870 --> 00:26:53,279 so interestingly and tellingly when we 745 00:26:56,310 --> 00:26:54,880 step back and look at what we talked 746 00:26:57,909 --> 00:26:56,320 about today 747 00:27:00,149 --> 00:26:57,919 i think this is telling us something 748 00:27:02,710 --> 00:27:00,159 fundamental about reality 749 00:27:05,510 --> 00:27:02,720 fundamental about the cosmos we live in 750 00:27:08,230 --> 00:27:05,520 the multiverse we live in 751 00:27:10,310 --> 00:27:08,240 not only do we see that humankind 752 00:27:13,830 --> 00:27:10,320 follows a predictable trajectory 753 00:27:17,190 --> 00:27:13,840 of greater levels of inclusion and 754 00:27:19,909 --> 00:27:17,200 awareness and even identity over time 755 00:27:20,630 --> 00:27:19,919 to the point where eventually one sees 756 00:27:23,750 --> 00:27:20,640 oneself 757 00:27:26,870 --> 00:27:23,760 as one with everything else that is 758 00:27:27,430 --> 00:27:26,880 alive and sentient in the cosmos but 759 00:27:29,590 --> 00:27:27,440 that these 760 00:27:31,590 --> 00:27:29,600 others these aliens that are a 761 00:27:33,830 --> 00:27:31,600 completely different species 762 00:27:34,870 --> 00:27:33,840 with a different origin many of them 763 00:27:37,430 --> 00:27:34,880 also show 764 00:27:39,190 --> 00:27:37,440 signs of following that same track that 765 00:27:41,430 --> 00:27:39,200 same trajectory 766 00:27:42,630 --> 00:27:41,440 this tells us that at the heart of 767 00:27:44,630 --> 00:27:42,640 reality 768 00:27:45,990 --> 00:27:44,640 evolution happens not just 769 00:27:49,990 --> 00:27:46,000 physiologically 770 00:27:51,669 --> 00:27:50,000 but also on the interior of a being 771 00:27:53,350 --> 00:27:51,679 and that it leads to these ever 772 00:27:56,470 --> 00:27:53,360 increasing ever expanding 773 00:27:56,789 --> 00:27:56,480 understandings of self and connectivity 774 00:28:04,310 --> 00:27:56,799 to 775 00:28:07,190 --> 00:28:04,320 of another edition 776 00:28:07,990 --> 00:28:07,200 of the point of convergence podcast as 777 00:28:10,310 --> 00:28:08,000 always 778 00:28:11,430 --> 00:28:10,320 let's keep this conversation going and 779 00:28:13,190 --> 00:28:11,440 growing 780 00:28:15,510 --> 00:28:13,200 please continue to spread the word about 781 00:28:16,470 --> 00:28:15,520 this podcast on social media and 782 00:28:18,230 --> 00:28:16,480 elsewhere 783 00:28:21,909 --> 00:28:18,240 so others can join us in this 784 00:28:24,149 --> 00:28:21,919 fascinating and essential conversation 785 00:28:26,070 --> 00:28:24,159 but until next time friends from deep 786 00:28:27,110 --> 00:28:26,080 within the blue ridge mountains of north
