1 00:00:02,790 --> 00:00:08,390 [Music] 2 00:00:12,310 --> 00:00:09,350 hello 3 00:00:14,470 --> 00:00:12,320 and welcome to episode number 29 of the 4 00:00:19,349 --> 00:00:14,480 point of convergence podcast 5 00:00:21,590 --> 00:00:19,359 as always i'm your host exo academian 6 00:00:22,550 --> 00:00:21,600 for many the notion that non-human 7 00:00:24,150 --> 00:00:22,560 intelligences 8 00:00:26,790 --> 00:00:24,160 whether extraterrestrial 9 00:00:28,950 --> 00:00:26,800 interdimensional or ultra-terrestrial 10 00:00:30,470 --> 00:00:28,960 may be operating advanced vehicles in 11 00:00:32,870 --> 00:00:30,480 the skies above our heads 12 00:00:33,990 --> 00:00:32,880 is a stretch but one they can wrap their 13 00:00:35,990 --> 00:00:34,000 heads around 14 00:00:38,549 --> 00:00:36,000 it only makes sense to most people 15 00:00:40,630 --> 00:00:38,559 anyway that an advanced species would 16 00:00:42,389 --> 00:00:40,640 have technology that might very well 17 00:00:44,549 --> 00:00:42,399 outclass our own 18 00:00:45,990 --> 00:00:44,559 and if a non-terrestrial species wanted 19 00:00:47,990 --> 00:00:46,000 to visit our planet 20 00:00:49,990 --> 00:00:48,000 most can imagine them buzzing around our 21 00:00:51,990 --> 00:00:50,000 atmosphere before moving on to other 22 00:00:53,750 --> 00:00:52,000 points of interest 23 00:00:55,590 --> 00:00:53,760 what is a more difficult notion for 24 00:00:57,510 --> 00:00:55,600 people to really track with 25 00:00:58,950 --> 00:00:57,520 is that the intelligences behind these 26 00:01:01,510 --> 00:00:58,960 vehicles may be 27 00:01:03,110 --> 00:01:01,520 interacting with us in a more direct and 28 00:01:05,270 --> 00:01:03,120 personal way 29 00:01:07,030 --> 00:01:05,280 when you advanced evidence suggesting 30 00:01:08,230 --> 00:01:07,040 these intelligences may be entering 31 00:01:10,070 --> 00:01:08,240 people's homes 32 00:01:12,550 --> 00:01:10,080 and are often taking them back to their 33 00:01:13,190 --> 00:01:12,560 craft in order to perform a variety of 34 00:01:15,510 --> 00:01:13,200 actions 35 00:01:17,670 --> 00:01:15,520 some of a medical variety and many 36 00:01:20,070 --> 00:01:17,680 people will balk 37 00:01:21,990 --> 00:01:20,080 one has to ask is this knee-jerk 38 00:01:24,070 --> 00:01:22,000 rejection of this notion 39 00:01:25,190 --> 00:01:24,080 based on a rational consideration of the 40 00:01:27,429 --> 00:01:25,200 evidence 41 00:01:28,310 --> 00:01:27,439 or is it fueled more by a subconscious 42 00:01:31,910 --> 00:01:28,320 fear 43 00:01:33,590 --> 00:01:31,920 of loss of power and agency we are so 44 00:01:35,429 --> 00:01:33,600 accustomed to being the apex 45 00:01:36,710 --> 00:01:35,439 intelligence around these parts 46 00:01:38,950 --> 00:01:36,720 that when we're confronted with 47 00:01:42,069 --> 00:01:38,960 compelling evidence suggesting we may 48 00:01:43,990 --> 00:01:42,079 very well not be many people respond out 49 00:01:46,230 --> 00:01:44,000 of deep seated fear 50 00:01:48,310 --> 00:01:46,240 we suddenly remember all the less than 51 00:01:50,389 --> 00:01:48,320 humane actions we've performed on 52 00:01:53,510 --> 00:01:50,399 animals over the centuries 53 00:01:55,190 --> 00:01:53,520 continuing even to today and we wonder 54 00:02:00,389 --> 00:01:55,200 what it would be like to be treated in 55 00:02:05,109 --> 00:02:02,389 when you add into the mix the apparent 56 00:02:07,830 --> 00:02:05,119 ability of these non-human intelligences 57 00:02:08,389 --> 00:02:07,840 to alter human perception and to even 58 00:02:10,550 --> 00:02:08,399 control 59 00:02:12,550 --> 00:02:10,560 behavior and you've now entered 60 00:02:15,190 --> 00:02:12,560 territory that makes most people 61 00:02:16,550 --> 00:02:15,200 turn around and walk the other way not 62 00:02:19,670 --> 00:02:16,560 interested in engaging 63 00:02:21,430 --> 00:02:19,680 in such a conversation and yet that's 64 00:02:21,990 --> 00:02:21,440 exactly what the literature behind the 65 00:02:25,190 --> 00:02:22,000 ufo 66 00:02:27,670 --> 00:02:25,200 phenomenon suggests all of the above 67 00:02:28,869 --> 00:02:27,680 craft of an advanced nature operating in 68 00:02:31,509 --> 00:02:28,879 our skies 69 00:02:33,190 --> 00:02:31,519 entities entering our homes passing 70 00:02:34,070 --> 00:02:33,200 through solid walls with no more 71 00:02:36,309 --> 00:02:34,080 difficulty 72 00:02:37,670 --> 00:02:36,319 than us passing through a fine mist on a 73 00:02:39,990 --> 00:02:37,680 morning walk 74 00:02:42,869 --> 00:02:40,000 and seemingly near total control of 75 00:02:45,030 --> 00:02:42,879 human consciousness 76 00:02:46,949 --> 00:02:45,040 to the point where people look back with 77 00:02:49,270 --> 00:02:46,959 confusion and bewilderment 78 00:02:51,750 --> 00:02:49,280 at the nature of their own actions 79 00:02:53,589 --> 00:02:51,760 during such experiences 80 00:02:55,190 --> 00:02:53,599 yet another piece of the puzzle that is 81 00:02:57,830 --> 00:02:55,200 simply too much to consider 82 00:02:59,830 --> 00:02:57,840 for many people in the general public is 83 00:03:02,309 --> 00:02:59,840 the sheer number of life forms 84 00:03:03,270 --> 00:03:02,319 apparently involved and interacting with 85 00:03:05,750 --> 00:03:03,280 us 86 00:03:06,470 --> 00:03:05,760 yes you have the grays both short and 87 00:03:08,630 --> 00:03:06,480 tall 88 00:03:09,830 --> 00:03:08,640 with their large inky black wrap around 89 00:03:11,190 --> 00:03:09,840 eyes 90 00:03:13,750 --> 00:03:11,200 a face that has become the 91 00:03:14,949 --> 00:03:13,760 quintessential face of the alien for 92 00:03:17,110 --> 00:03:14,959 millions 93 00:03:19,030 --> 00:03:17,120 but you also have entities that appear 94 00:03:21,030 --> 00:03:19,040 almost totally human 95 00:03:22,149 --> 00:03:21,040 as well as hybrid species that look very 96 00:03:25,110 --> 00:03:22,159 much like a cross 97 00:03:26,949 --> 00:03:25,120 between a human and something else and 98 00:03:29,670 --> 00:03:26,959 of course you have seven foot tall 99 00:03:31,430 --> 00:03:29,680 praying mantis type beings and equally 100 00:03:34,390 --> 00:03:31,440 tall reptilian types 101 00:03:35,910 --> 00:03:34,400 and the list goes on for those who've 102 00:03:39,470 --> 00:03:35,920 had such experiences 103 00:03:41,430 --> 00:03:39,480 of what is often coined high strangeness 104 00:03:42,710 --> 00:03:41,440 discombobulation is the inevitable 105 00:03:44,789 --> 00:03:42,720 result 106 00:03:46,789 --> 00:03:44,799 these kinds of experiences are simply 107 00:03:47,750 --> 00:03:46,799 not of the sort that can be easily 108 00:03:50,390 --> 00:03:47,760 assimilated 109 00:03:51,509 --> 00:03:50,400 into most people's working notions of 110 00:03:54,710 --> 00:03:51,519 the quote unquote 111 00:03:56,789 --> 00:03:54,720 real world indeed without support and 112 00:03:57,910 --> 00:03:56,799 the ability to process such experiences 113 00:04:00,710 --> 00:03:57,920 with others 114 00:04:02,470 --> 00:04:00,720 these kinds of encounters can lead many 115 00:04:06,789 --> 00:04:02,480 to question their very grip 116 00:04:09,350 --> 00:04:06,799 on reality but this is not about 117 00:04:10,149 --> 00:04:09,360 a tenuous grip on reality these 118 00:04:13,350 --> 00:04:10,159 experiences 119 00:04:14,229 --> 00:04:13,360 are in every way real events these kinds 120 00:04:16,710 --> 00:04:14,239 of encounters 121 00:04:19,349 --> 00:04:16,720 are happening all around the world and 122 00:04:22,390 --> 00:04:19,359 have been for a very long time 123 00:04:23,830 --> 00:04:22,400 as it turns out i'm no stranger to high 124 00:04:25,990 --> 00:04:23,840 strangeness 125 00:04:27,990 --> 00:04:26,000 and on this week's podcast i'd like to 126 00:04:31,270 --> 00:04:28,000 offer some of my own families 127 00:04:33,350 --> 00:04:31,280 personal experiences of this nature 128 00:04:34,790 --> 00:04:33,360 these are events that shattered former 129 00:04:38,150 --> 00:04:34,800 notions of what is 130 00:04:38,550 --> 00:04:38,160 and what is not possible leading to a 131 00:04:40,950 --> 00:04:38,560 long 132 00:04:42,469 --> 00:04:40,960 complicated journey in understanding the 133 00:04:44,870 --> 00:04:42,479 broader richer 134 00:04:46,390 --> 00:04:44,880 more colorful totality of all that 135 00:04:48,310 --> 00:04:46,400 exists 136 00:04:49,909 --> 00:04:48,320 a reflection on the personal 137 00:04:52,310 --> 00:04:49,919 generational encounters 138 00:04:53,590 --> 00:04:52,320 that have impacted me and my family are 139 00:04:55,670 --> 00:04:53,600 the topic of this 140 00:05:00,390 --> 00:04:55,680 the 29th episode of the point of 141 00:05:06,790 --> 00:05:04,230 [Music] 142 00:05:07,670 --> 00:05:06,800 as we begin this week's podcast let me 143 00:05:10,230 --> 00:05:07,680 just say 144 00:05:11,110 --> 00:05:10,240 that i find it very helpful to move back 145 00:05:13,670 --> 00:05:11,120 and forth 146 00:05:15,350 --> 00:05:13,680 between the macro and the micro with 147 00:05:16,870 --> 00:05:15,360 this topic 148 00:05:19,670 --> 00:05:16,880 it's important to consider this 149 00:05:22,230 --> 00:05:19,680 phenomenon from both perspectives 150 00:05:23,670 --> 00:05:22,240 additional details here and there help 151 00:05:26,629 --> 00:05:23,680 to fill out the picture 152 00:05:27,590 --> 00:05:26,639 when we zoom in but pulling back in 153 00:05:30,870 --> 00:05:27,600 order to see with 154 00:05:33,029 --> 00:05:30,880 wide focus regularly is also essential 155 00:05:35,990 --> 00:05:33,039 in order to identify patterns that 156 00:05:40,230 --> 00:05:37,749 now speaking of patterns that have 157 00:05:42,230 --> 00:05:40,240 emerged it has become clear 158 00:05:43,909 --> 00:05:42,240 to those who've studied this in the 159 00:05:46,070 --> 00:05:43,919 context of other 160 00:05:47,510 --> 00:05:46,080 elements of high strangeness that the 161 00:05:50,870 --> 00:05:47,520 ufo phenomenon 162 00:05:53,590 --> 00:05:50,880 is one of several so-called contact 163 00:05:54,230 --> 00:05:53,600 modalities ray hernandez of the free 164 00:05:57,590 --> 00:05:54,240 foundation 165 00:05:59,830 --> 00:05:57,600 coined that term and it's apt and again 166 00:06:01,189 --> 00:05:59,840 the ufo phenomenon contact with 167 00:06:04,950 --> 00:06:01,199 non-human intelligence 168 00:06:08,230 --> 00:06:04,960 as well as sightings of uap or ufos 169 00:06:12,790 --> 00:06:08,240 are one of many modalities within 170 00:06:17,029 --> 00:06:14,870 for instance one of the correlations we 171 00:06:19,189 --> 00:06:17,039 see is that if a human being 172 00:06:20,309 --> 00:06:19,199 has experienced any one of the contact 173 00:06:22,070 --> 00:06:20,319 modalities 174 00:06:23,510 --> 00:06:22,080 then they're much more likely than 175 00:06:26,629 --> 00:06:23,520 chance to have 176 00:06:28,230 --> 00:06:26,639 experienced another as well often people 177 00:06:29,670 --> 00:06:28,240 experience several of these 178 00:06:32,230 --> 00:06:29,680 and when i speak of the context 179 00:06:34,870 --> 00:06:32,240 modalities i'm talking about 180 00:06:36,870 --> 00:06:34,880 aspects like contact with non-human 181 00:06:39,110 --> 00:06:36,880 intelligence not just space aliens 182 00:06:40,469 --> 00:06:39,120 any kind of non-human intelligence 183 00:06:42,629 --> 00:06:40,479 remote viewing 184 00:06:43,830 --> 00:06:42,639 near-death experiences out-of-body 185 00:06:46,710 --> 00:06:43,840 experiences 186 00:06:47,350 --> 00:06:46,720 psychokinetic activity pre-cognitive 187 00:06:49,430 --> 00:06:47,360 dreams 188 00:06:50,550 --> 00:06:49,440 and other kinds of visions where people 189 00:06:53,350 --> 00:06:50,560 see the future 190 00:06:55,029 --> 00:06:53,360 etc all of these are different kinds of 191 00:06:57,510 --> 00:06:55,039 contact modalities 192 00:06:59,350 --> 00:06:57,520 and if a person has experienced one 193 00:06:59,909 --> 00:06:59,360 they're much more likely than anyone 194 00:07:02,309 --> 00:06:59,919 from the 195 00:07:03,110 --> 00:07:02,319 general population to have experienced 196 00:07:06,309 --> 00:07:03,120 another 197 00:07:10,150 --> 00:07:06,319 tells us somehow 198 00:07:14,550 --> 00:07:11,909 and now i'd like to quote from the book 199 00:07:15,990 --> 00:07:14,560 beyond ufos that discusses the various 200 00:07:18,950 --> 00:07:16,000 contact modalities 201 00:07:19,670 --> 00:07:18,960 and the connection between them quote 202 00:07:22,230 --> 00:07:19,680 finally 203 00:07:22,950 --> 00:07:22,240 as will be presented later in this paper 204 00:07:25,990 --> 00:07:22,960 the uap 205 00:07:29,189 --> 00:07:26,000 experience is primarily a paranormal 206 00:07:31,189 --> 00:07:29,199 anomalous phenomenon even though as dr j 207 00:07:34,070 --> 00:07:31,199 allen heineck and dr jacques villa 208 00:07:34,790 --> 00:07:34,080 acknowledge the uap phenomenon is both a 209 00:07:38,150 --> 00:07:34,800 physical 210 00:07:39,870 --> 00:07:38,160 and psychic phenomenon all of the topics 211 00:07:41,189 --> 00:07:39,880 currently being studied by the field of 212 00:07:43,589 --> 00:07:41,199 parapsychology 213 00:07:45,350 --> 00:07:43,599 are also being experienced by the uap 214 00:07:47,270 --> 00:07:45,360 contact experiencers 215 00:07:49,189 --> 00:07:47,280 out-of-body experiences near-death 216 00:07:51,510 --> 00:07:49,199 experiences energy healing 217 00:07:53,990 --> 00:07:51,520 and all of the psy phenomena currently 218 00:07:56,950 --> 00:07:54,000 studied in parapsychology 219 00:07:58,309 --> 00:07:56,960 thus why shun and disdain the uap 220 00:08:01,589 --> 00:07:58,319 contact phenomenon 221 00:08:04,070 --> 00:08:01,599 from the field of parapsychology instead 222 00:08:05,350 --> 00:08:04,080 research on the uap contact phenomenon 223 00:08:07,029 --> 00:08:05,360 should be embraced 224 00:08:09,350 --> 00:08:07,039 just like the position of free 225 00:08:12,309 --> 00:08:09,360 co-founders dr edgar mitchell 226 00:08:12,790 --> 00:08:12,319 dr rudy shield and free research chair 227 00:08:15,990 --> 00:08:12,800 dr 228 00:08:18,469 --> 00:08:16,000 john clemo as the possible solution or 229 00:08:20,629 --> 00:08:18,479 key that will unlock the door to 230 00:08:24,469 --> 00:08:20,639 understanding parapsychology 231 00:08:24,790 --> 00:08:24,479 unquote now the reason why i bring all 232 00:08:27,830 --> 00:08:24,800 this 233 00:08:30,869 --> 00:08:27,840 up in the context of today's podcast 234 00:08:34,310 --> 00:08:30,879 is because my experience has been just 235 00:08:36,469 --> 00:08:34,320 this that primarily my wife 236 00:08:38,149 --> 00:08:36,479 is one of these people that experiences 237 00:08:39,509 --> 00:08:38,159 these different kinds of contact 238 00:08:41,750 --> 00:08:39,519 modalities 239 00:08:42,709 --> 00:08:41,760 and while i've had many of my own as 240 00:08:44,870 --> 00:08:42,719 well 241 00:08:45,750 --> 00:08:44,880 to a large degree i feel like i'm along 242 00:08:47,829 --> 00:08:45,760 for the ride 243 00:08:49,430 --> 00:08:47,839 and the experiences i've had are very 244 00:08:54,870 --> 00:08:49,440 much part and parcel 245 00:08:57,190 --> 00:08:54,880 with her nature as a kind of conduit 246 00:08:59,350 --> 00:08:57,200 up until now i've avoided too much 247 00:09:01,030 --> 00:08:59,360 discussion of my own experiences 248 00:09:02,870 --> 00:09:01,040 because i want people to be able to 249 00:09:04,230 --> 00:09:02,880 engage with these podcasts 250 00:09:06,949 --> 00:09:04,240 from the perspective that they are 251 00:09:10,230 --> 00:09:06,959 objectively based not hack jobs 252 00:09:12,310 --> 00:09:10,240 completely colored by my own experiences 253 00:09:14,230 --> 00:09:12,320 that said i also don't want to 254 00:09:14,990 --> 00:09:14,240 communicate that one has to be quote 255 00:09:18,389 --> 00:09:15,000 unquote 256 00:09:20,389 --> 00:09:18,399 experienceless in order to be objective 257 00:09:22,870 --> 00:09:20,399 of course in so many fields of life that 258 00:09:25,030 --> 00:09:22,880 would be simply impossible 259 00:09:27,030 --> 00:09:25,040 i also want to be part of the movement 260 00:09:27,829 --> 00:09:27,040 that encourages experiences to come 261 00:09:29,990 --> 00:09:27,839 forward 262 00:09:31,190 --> 00:09:30,000 to share their own experiences because 263 00:09:34,949 --> 00:09:31,200 we all benefit 264 00:09:37,190 --> 00:09:34,959 as a result also like jacques valet 265 00:09:38,310 --> 00:09:37,200 i firmly believe that hearing from 266 00:09:40,790 --> 00:09:38,320 experiencers 267 00:09:44,150 --> 00:09:40,800 is key to understanding the ufo 268 00:09:47,509 --> 00:09:45,910 and now in sharing several different 269 00:09:50,230 --> 00:09:47,519 encounters i've had 270 00:09:52,230 --> 00:09:50,240 i want to begin with the episode that 271 00:09:55,269 --> 00:09:52,240 was the most discombobulating 272 00:09:56,550 --> 00:09:55,279 the most bizarre and uncanny most full 273 00:10:00,550 --> 00:09:56,560 of high strangeness of 274 00:10:05,350 --> 00:10:03,590 here's the setting my wife and i 275 00:10:07,110 --> 00:10:05,360 along with our young daughter and my 276 00:10:08,389 --> 00:10:07,120 wife was also pregnant at the time 277 00:10:10,310 --> 00:10:08,399 several months pregnant 278 00:10:11,829 --> 00:10:10,320 we were traveling across the country 279 00:10:14,470 --> 00:10:11,839 from the east 280 00:10:16,389 --> 00:10:14,480 to the west and at this point in the 281 00:10:19,990 --> 00:10:16,399 trip we were about a day or two in 282 00:10:23,350 --> 00:10:20,000 basically at illinois on our trip 283 00:10:24,550 --> 00:10:23,360 to the west coast and we were staying in 284 00:10:26,470 --> 00:10:24,560 a hotel 285 00:10:28,069 --> 00:10:26,480 everything was normal up until that 286 00:10:30,550 --> 00:10:28,079 point 287 00:10:32,230 --> 00:10:30,560 then in the early morning hours my wife 288 00:10:34,150 --> 00:10:32,240 and i were in one bed 289 00:10:35,350 --> 00:10:34,160 and my young daughter was in the bed 290 00:10:38,790 --> 00:10:35,360 next to us 291 00:10:42,069 --> 00:10:38,800 in the early morning hours i noticed 292 00:10:44,310 --> 00:10:42,079 movement at the end of our bed so i sat 293 00:10:46,790 --> 00:10:44,320 up thinking our daughter must have 294 00:10:48,069 --> 00:10:46,800 gotten up perhaps she's confused for 295 00:10:49,509 --> 00:10:48,079 getting where she is 296 00:10:51,509 --> 00:10:49,519 looking for the bathroom or something 297 00:10:54,470 --> 00:10:51,519 like that i get up to 298 00:10:55,750 --> 00:10:54,480 speak with her and pretty quickly it 299 00:10:59,190 --> 00:10:55,760 becomes clear 300 00:11:01,190 --> 00:10:59,200 based on the appearance and the size 301 00:11:03,269 --> 00:11:01,200 of this being at the end of our bed that 302 00:11:06,069 --> 00:11:03,279 this is not our daughter 303 00:11:08,790 --> 00:11:06,079 that that was the first element of 304 00:11:11,110 --> 00:11:08,800 bizarreness for me was i just assumed 305 00:11:13,350 --> 00:11:11,120 if there's somebody at the end of our 306 00:11:13,990 --> 00:11:13,360 bed it's got to be our daughter who else 307 00:11:16,230 --> 00:11:14,000 is in the room 308 00:11:18,310 --> 00:11:16,240 with us but it very quickly becomes 309 00:11:21,269 --> 00:11:18,320 clear this is not our daughter 310 00:11:22,550 --> 00:11:21,279 it was humanoid human looking but 311 00:11:25,990 --> 00:11:22,560 clearly not our daughter 312 00:11:27,829 --> 00:11:26,000 and had various strange kind of effects 313 00:11:29,509 --> 00:11:27,839 in and around it as well though very 314 00:11:31,430 --> 00:11:29,519 hard to explain i'll come back to that a 315 00:11:34,069 --> 00:11:31,440 little bit later 316 00:11:35,350 --> 00:11:34,079 anyway i proceeded then to get up and 317 00:11:39,030 --> 00:11:35,360 move towards 318 00:11:40,310 --> 00:11:39,040 this being that looked again mostly 319 00:11:43,190 --> 00:11:40,320 human and 320 00:11:45,430 --> 00:11:43,200 we perceived it as female i say we 321 00:11:47,990 --> 00:11:45,440 notice that i'll get to that in a second 322 00:11:50,470 --> 00:11:48,000 i proceeded to move towards it at this 323 00:11:52,629 --> 00:11:50,480 point it seemed surprised it 324 00:11:54,310 --> 00:11:52,639 she seemed surprised that i actually 325 00:11:57,509 --> 00:11:54,320 could see her 326 00:12:00,069 --> 00:11:57,519 and it she began backing up 327 00:12:01,269 --> 00:12:00,079 towards the wall proceeded to back up 328 00:12:03,910 --> 00:12:01,279 right to the wall 329 00:12:06,470 --> 00:12:03,920 and threw it and disappeared disappeared 330 00:12:09,030 --> 00:12:06,480 right through the wall 331 00:12:11,430 --> 00:12:09,040 then i did a very strange thing i turned 332 00:12:13,269 --> 00:12:11,440 around and i marched right back to bed 333 00:12:15,910 --> 00:12:13,279 as if i was just going to go to sleep as 334 00:12:18,389 --> 00:12:15,920 if nothing strange had happened at all 335 00:12:19,990 --> 00:12:18,399 of course that's not unusual for people 336 00:12:23,030 --> 00:12:20,000 in these kinds of encounters 337 00:12:25,670 --> 00:12:23,040 but we'll get to that later as well 338 00:12:26,870 --> 00:12:25,680 thankfully as it turns out my wife 339 00:12:29,269 --> 00:12:26,880 perceived the whole thing 340 00:12:31,350 --> 00:12:29,279 she saw the whole thing as well she woke 341 00:12:32,069 --> 00:12:31,360 up as well and was sitting next to me 342 00:12:33,670 --> 00:12:32,079 sitting up 343 00:12:38,150 --> 00:12:33,680 without me being aware of this at the 344 00:12:40,069 --> 00:12:38,160 time and saw the entire event 345 00:12:41,590 --> 00:12:40,079 now the fact that my wife was awake and 346 00:12:44,870 --> 00:12:41,600 saw the entire thing 347 00:12:46,790 --> 00:12:44,880 was essential because as i say i was 348 00:12:48,949 --> 00:12:46,800 about to try and go back to sleep 349 00:12:51,269 --> 00:12:48,959 i just turned around went right back to 350 00:12:53,829 --> 00:12:51,279 bed as if i was going to go to sleep 351 00:12:55,590 --> 00:12:53,839 she shook me and said you know basically 352 00:12:56,470 --> 00:12:55,600 what are you doing how can you possibly 353 00:12:58,949 --> 00:12:56,480 go to sleep 354 00:13:01,350 --> 00:12:58,959 after what we just witnessed and i was 355 00:13:02,949 --> 00:13:01,360 in a kind of strange stupor a strange 356 00:13:05,829 --> 00:13:02,959 state of consciousness 357 00:13:07,190 --> 00:13:05,839 my behavior didn't make any sense to me 358 00:13:08,790 --> 00:13:07,200 it certainly doesn't make any sense to 359 00:13:11,430 --> 00:13:08,800 me thinking back on it 360 00:13:12,389 --> 00:13:11,440 but thankfully my wife engaged with me 361 00:13:14,550 --> 00:13:12,399 shook me 362 00:13:17,350 --> 00:13:14,560 and basically woke me out of that kind 363 00:13:19,509 --> 00:13:17,360 of weird state that i was in 364 00:13:20,629 --> 00:13:19,519 and we sat up and we talked about the 365 00:13:22,470 --> 00:13:20,639 experience 366 00:13:23,910 --> 00:13:22,480 and then my wife decided to get up and 367 00:13:25,430 --> 00:13:23,920 check on our daughter 368 00:13:27,350 --> 00:13:25,440 this is where it gets even stranger 369 00:13:29,990 --> 00:13:27,360 still because it turns out 370 00:13:30,870 --> 00:13:30,000 my daughter had strange welts all over 371 00:13:33,350 --> 00:13:30,880 her body 372 00:13:35,190 --> 00:13:33,360 the kind that she's never had before and 373 00:13:37,030 --> 00:13:35,200 never had since 374 00:13:38,710 --> 00:13:37,040 and perhaps it could have been some 375 00:13:41,030 --> 00:13:38,720 allergic reaction to the sheets or 376 00:13:43,590 --> 00:13:41,040 something but it was very strange 377 00:13:44,550 --> 00:13:43,600 anyway at that point my wife became 378 00:13:46,629 --> 00:13:44,560 concerned 379 00:13:48,389 --> 00:13:46,639 what had we just experienced and was 380 00:13:48,790 --> 00:13:48,399 that responsible for what happened to my 381 00:13:50,790 --> 00:13:48,800 daughter 382 00:13:51,829 --> 00:13:50,800 we didn't know but we weren't about to 383 00:13:54,310 --> 00:13:51,839 stick around 384 00:13:56,389 --> 00:13:54,320 for the breakfast or to discuss it any 385 00:13:56,870 --> 00:13:56,399 longer in that hotel room so we packed 386 00:13:59,110 --> 00:13:56,880 up 387 00:14:00,710 --> 00:13:59,120 we left in the early morning hours and 388 00:14:03,110 --> 00:14:00,720 hit the road 389 00:14:03,750 --> 00:14:03,120 thankfully within a couple hours my 390 00:14:05,829 --> 00:14:03,760 daughter's 391 00:14:10,069 --> 00:14:05,839 condition improved all of those welts 392 00:14:13,829 --> 00:14:11,750 now there's a couple important points 393 00:14:15,189 --> 00:14:13,839 i'd like to make about the experience 394 00:14:18,629 --> 00:14:15,199 itself 395 00:14:21,110 --> 00:14:18,639 number one if it were not for my wife 396 00:14:23,269 --> 00:14:21,120 preventing me from going to sleep i 397 00:14:26,629 --> 00:14:23,279 certainly would have gone to sleep 398 00:14:27,829 --> 00:14:26,639 and i am 99 certain that i would have 399 00:14:30,870 --> 00:14:27,839 woken in the morning 400 00:14:33,590 --> 00:14:30,880 and just thought i had a strange dream 401 00:14:35,110 --> 00:14:33,600 i'm as i say pretty much certain that 402 00:14:37,990 --> 00:14:35,120 would have been my response 403 00:14:39,269 --> 00:14:38,000 i had no hook to hang this experience on 404 00:14:41,189 --> 00:14:39,279 so i would have woken up the next 405 00:14:42,790 --> 00:14:41,199 morning and just assumed it was a 406 00:14:45,030 --> 00:14:42,800 strange dream 407 00:14:46,389 --> 00:14:45,040 and you have to ask yourself how many 408 00:14:47,189 --> 00:14:46,399 people are having those kind of 409 00:14:50,069 --> 00:14:47,199 experiences 410 00:14:50,710 --> 00:14:50,079 and drawing that very conclusion 411 00:14:52,710 --> 00:14:50,720 thankfully 412 00:14:54,470 --> 00:14:52,720 my wife was there with me prevented me 413 00:14:55,670 --> 00:14:54,480 from going to sleep and that helped 414 00:14:58,470 --> 00:14:55,680 anchor the experience 415 00:14:59,350 --> 00:14:58,480 in reality for me not to mention of 416 00:15:01,910 --> 00:14:59,360 course 417 00:15:03,110 --> 00:15:01,920 we had each other to dialogue with to 418 00:15:05,269 --> 00:15:03,120 process with 419 00:15:07,189 --> 00:15:05,279 to try and make sense of this really 420 00:15:11,670 --> 00:15:07,199 bizarre discombobulating 421 00:15:11,990 --> 00:15:11,680 experience and this is by the way why i 422 00:15:13,990 --> 00:15:12,000 feel 423 00:15:15,509 --> 00:15:14,000 for people who experience these things 424 00:15:17,910 --> 00:15:15,519 on their own 425 00:15:19,430 --> 00:15:17,920 as individuals because it's that much 426 00:15:22,550 --> 00:15:19,440 more discombobulating 427 00:15:25,750 --> 00:15:22,560 it's that much more unanchored from 428 00:15:28,310 --> 00:15:25,760 reality from the everyday world and 429 00:15:29,590 --> 00:15:28,320 they don't have that ability to process 430 00:15:31,189 --> 00:15:29,600 with someone else 431 00:15:33,430 --> 00:15:31,199 and they certainly don't have the sort 432 00:15:35,110 --> 00:15:33,440 of mental check that makes you feel 433 00:15:35,749 --> 00:15:35,120 better knowing that you weren't the only 434 00:15:39,910 --> 00:15:35,759 one 435 00:15:41,350 --> 00:15:39,920 that saw this and now i'd like to add 436 00:15:43,749 --> 00:15:41,360 some additional details 437 00:15:46,230 --> 00:15:43,759 about the experience itself because 438 00:15:49,110 --> 00:15:46,240 while both my wife and i experienced 439 00:15:50,470 --> 00:15:49,120 this entity this humanoid figure at the 440 00:15:52,230 --> 00:15:50,480 end of our bed 441 00:15:55,030 --> 00:15:52,240 and we both saw it disappear through the 442 00:15:56,150 --> 00:15:55,040 wall there were various elements that 443 00:15:58,550 --> 00:15:56,160 were different 444 00:15:59,990 --> 00:15:58,560 we saw slightly different things which 445 00:16:03,110 --> 00:16:00,000 is fascinating 446 00:16:06,629 --> 00:16:03,120 but also again kind of bewildering 447 00:16:10,870 --> 00:16:06,639 for instance i saw a full body 448 00:16:14,470 --> 00:16:10,880 and my wife saw just the upper torso 449 00:16:17,269 --> 00:16:14,480 to me i saw hair but it looked normal 450 00:16:18,550 --> 00:16:17,279 my wife saw hair that was blowing as if 451 00:16:20,949 --> 00:16:18,560 there was a breeze 452 00:16:22,550 --> 00:16:20,959 blowing pretty strong and making the 453 00:16:25,430 --> 00:16:22,560 hair move 454 00:16:27,749 --> 00:16:25,440 very strange on top of that when i 455 00:16:30,629 --> 00:16:27,759 turned around to come back to bed 456 00:16:32,150 --> 00:16:30,639 my wife saw this entity come back out 457 00:16:34,550 --> 00:16:32,160 through the wall 458 00:16:35,990 --> 00:16:34,560 proceed to go down the sort of hall in 459 00:16:39,749 --> 00:16:36,000 front of the two beds 460 00:16:41,269 --> 00:16:39,759 and out the front door of the hotel room 461 00:16:43,030 --> 00:16:41,279 not opening the door of course just 462 00:16:46,870 --> 00:16:43,040 passed right through the door 463 00:16:48,389 --> 00:16:46,880 so my wife saw the entity a second time 464 00:16:49,990 --> 00:16:48,399 but again i want to draw your attention 465 00:16:53,269 --> 00:16:50,000 to the fact that we both 466 00:16:55,990 --> 00:16:53,279 saw this entity but we saw different 467 00:16:57,670 --> 00:16:56,000 characteristics slight differences that 468 00:17:00,069 --> 00:16:57,680 make you really wonder what is that 469 00:17:03,430 --> 00:17:00,079 about and it certainly makes you realize 470 00:17:06,470 --> 00:17:03,440 that this phenomenon has the ability to 471 00:17:08,309 --> 00:17:06,480 effect perception consciousness we both 472 00:17:09,350 --> 00:17:08,319 saw it but we saw slightly different 473 00:17:11,669 --> 00:17:09,360 things 474 00:17:14,069 --> 00:17:11,679 that of course brings back memories of 475 00:17:15,189 --> 00:17:14,079 the podcast episode i did on the events 476 00:17:17,909 --> 00:17:15,199 at fatima 477 00:17:18,630 --> 00:17:17,919 where thousands of people saw something 478 00:17:20,870 --> 00:17:18,640 but they saw 479 00:17:21,909 --> 00:17:20,880 different things even the messages they 480 00:17:25,270 --> 00:17:21,919 received 481 00:17:30,310 --> 00:17:27,990 i'd also like to add that clearly i am 482 00:17:32,150 --> 00:17:30,320 someone who's devoted a lot of time to 483 00:17:34,950 --> 00:17:32,160 studying this phenomenon 484 00:17:35,750 --> 00:17:34,960 years and years and years i've 485 00:17:37,830 --> 00:17:35,760 researched it 486 00:17:39,590 --> 00:17:37,840 i've studied as much of the literature 487 00:17:42,630 --> 00:17:39,600 as i can get my hands on 488 00:17:43,990 --> 00:17:42,640 i've listened to many many accounts from 489 00:17:45,990 --> 00:17:44,000 different experiencers 490 00:17:48,150 --> 00:17:46,000 and i've tried to connect the dots as 491 00:17:51,110 --> 00:17:48,160 much as i can look for patterns 492 00:17:52,470 --> 00:17:51,120 and whatnot but i still have to say 493 00:17:54,950 --> 00:17:52,480 after all this time 494 00:17:55,990 --> 00:17:54,960 after having reported all these other 495 00:17:59,029 --> 00:17:56,000 experiences that 496 00:18:01,669 --> 00:17:59,039 different people have had that event is 497 00:18:03,350 --> 00:18:01,679 still very discombobulating 498 00:18:05,909 --> 00:18:03,360 even after all these years and by the 499 00:18:08,310 --> 00:18:05,919 way that happened in 2005 500 00:18:10,470 --> 00:18:08,320 after all these years i still don't know 501 00:18:14,070 --> 00:18:10,480 exactly how to wrap my head 502 00:18:17,669 --> 00:18:14,080 around that experience it had a kind of 503 00:18:20,390 --> 00:18:17,679 texture to it a kind of ethos that i 504 00:18:20,789 --> 00:18:20,400 can't quite wrap my head around it was 505 00:18:22,870 --> 00:18:20,799 just 506 00:18:24,390 --> 00:18:22,880 very discombobulating almost like an 507 00:18:26,390 --> 00:18:24,400 altered state of consciousness 508 00:18:27,590 --> 00:18:26,400 or almost like we were in a different 509 00:18:30,630 --> 00:18:27,600 realm of reality 510 00:18:34,950 --> 00:18:30,640 altogether for that period of time 511 00:18:38,230 --> 00:18:36,390 now i'd like to share an experience 512 00:18:40,390 --> 00:18:38,240 that's much more recent it's happened 513 00:18:43,190 --> 00:18:40,400 since we moved here to north carolina 514 00:18:46,710 --> 00:18:43,200 which happened in 2018 so this was 515 00:18:48,710 --> 00:18:46,720 within the last couple of years 516 00:18:50,310 --> 00:18:48,720 this is what happened on a particular 517 00:18:53,590 --> 00:18:50,320 evening my wife 518 00:18:56,710 --> 00:18:53,600 and my son were in 519 00:18:58,789 --> 00:18:56,720 a bedroom and my wife was playing a 520 00:19:00,150 --> 00:18:58,799 large shamanic mother drum we have a 521 00:19:03,990 --> 00:19:00,160 series of drums 522 00:19:06,150 --> 00:19:04,000 we used to host drum circles and 523 00:19:07,510 --> 00:19:06,160 we would have shamanic groups and what 524 00:19:10,390 --> 00:19:07,520 not come over 525 00:19:11,590 --> 00:19:10,400 and anyway my wife was playing this drum 526 00:19:14,230 --> 00:19:11,600 and they were both 527 00:19:15,350 --> 00:19:14,240 basically inviting contact and 528 00:19:17,190 --> 00:19:15,360 communication 529 00:19:19,830 --> 00:19:17,200 with benevolent entities was the 530 00:19:21,510 --> 00:19:19,840 intention i wasn't involved at all i was 531 00:19:22,870 --> 00:19:21,520 actually in my office at the time in a 532 00:19:26,390 --> 00:19:22,880 different room 533 00:19:27,990 --> 00:19:26,400 but in the same house and what proceeded 534 00:19:28,630 --> 00:19:28,000 to happen was suddenly it sounded like 535 00:19:30,549 --> 00:19:28,640 there was a 536 00:19:31,750 --> 00:19:30,559 loud rain storm outside we assumed it 537 00:19:35,830 --> 00:19:31,760 was raining 538 00:19:37,909 --> 00:19:35,840 and then we heard a very very loud hum 539 00:19:40,470 --> 00:19:37,919 fill the entire house and it sounded 540 00:19:42,470 --> 00:19:40,480 like the hum was coming from directly 541 00:19:45,190 --> 00:19:42,480 above the house 542 00:19:46,390 --> 00:19:45,200 very loud not really mechanical in a 543 00:19:49,909 --> 00:19:46,400 clicking kind of way 544 00:19:51,909 --> 00:19:49,919 more like a loud steady hum and 545 00:19:53,510 --> 00:19:51,919 we could hear each other talk but it was 546 00:19:54,230 --> 00:19:53,520 very loud it was the most dominant thing 547 00:19:57,590 --> 00:19:54,240 on both 548 00:20:00,150 --> 00:19:57,600 floors of the house what's strange is 549 00:20:02,470 --> 00:20:00,160 none of us not my wife not myself nor my 550 00:20:04,789 --> 00:20:02,480 son went outside to look above the house 551 00:20:07,110 --> 00:20:04,799 to see what was there 552 00:20:09,909 --> 00:20:07,120 to be honest with you i had a kind of 553 00:20:12,789 --> 00:20:09,919 strange fear come over me a kind of 554 00:20:13,590 --> 00:20:12,799 feeling of overwhelm and i didn't want 555 00:20:16,789 --> 00:20:13,600 to look 556 00:20:17,750 --> 00:20:16,799 and to some degree i felt like maybe i 557 00:20:20,230 --> 00:20:17,760 wasn't supposed to 558 00:20:22,149 --> 00:20:20,240 it's hard to know looking back at the 559 00:20:23,990 --> 00:20:22,159 same time it's hard to imagine that i 560 00:20:24,549 --> 00:20:24,000 wouldn't have convinced myself to go and 561 00:20:27,110 --> 00:20:24,559 look 562 00:20:30,149 --> 00:20:27,120 but for whatever reason we didn't i 563 00:20:32,950 --> 00:20:30,159 didn't my wife didn't my son didn't 564 00:20:34,710 --> 00:20:32,960 eventually after a few minutes the sound 565 00:20:37,590 --> 00:20:34,720 stopped and the rain 566 00:20:39,669 --> 00:20:37,600 apparently stopped my daughter then 567 00:20:42,470 --> 00:20:39,679 proceeded to come in the house 568 00:20:44,710 --> 00:20:42,480 and she asked what was up because we 569 00:20:46,470 --> 00:20:44,720 seem to be acting strangely 570 00:20:48,470 --> 00:20:46,480 and we said didn't you hear that 571 00:20:49,750 --> 00:20:48,480 insanely loud sound 572 00:20:52,310 --> 00:20:49,760 and didn't you get caught in the 573 00:20:54,549 --> 00:20:52,320 rainstorm she proceeded to tell us there 574 00:20:56,310 --> 00:20:54,559 was no rainstorm it's not raining she 575 00:20:58,230 --> 00:20:56,320 was only just down the block 576 00:21:00,830 --> 00:20:58,240 at the time that this happened and she 577 00:21:03,029 --> 00:21:00,840 didn't hear any strange hum 578 00:21:05,430 --> 00:21:03,039 whatsoever 579 00:21:06,390 --> 00:21:05,440 again now in regards to us not going to 580 00:21:08,710 --> 00:21:06,400 look 581 00:21:10,070 --> 00:21:08,720 maybe we thought because it's raining or 582 00:21:11,350 --> 00:21:10,080 we thought it was raining anyway we 583 00:21:13,350 --> 00:21:11,360 won't get a good look 584 00:21:14,830 --> 00:21:13,360 but again i still can't convince myself 585 00:21:17,350 --> 00:21:14,840 that would have been enough of a 586 00:21:19,029 --> 00:21:17,360 justification for me not having gone and 587 00:21:20,789 --> 00:21:19,039 at least tried to see if i could see 588 00:21:22,310 --> 00:21:20,799 anything 589 00:21:24,789 --> 00:21:22,320 of course this happens a lot with the 590 00:21:26,630 --> 00:21:24,799 ufo phenomenon people's behavior 591 00:21:28,070 --> 00:21:26,640 is controlled the responses are 592 00:21:30,789 --> 00:21:28,080 controlled 593 00:21:32,710 --> 00:21:30,799 like in the hotel encounter when i just 594 00:21:34,310 --> 00:21:32,720 decided it was a good idea to go back to 595 00:21:36,950 --> 00:21:34,320 bed 596 00:21:38,070 --> 00:21:36,960 i recently read robert hastings talk 597 00:21:41,750 --> 00:21:38,080 about 598 00:21:43,270 --> 00:21:41,760 seeing a ufo above his house and somehow 599 00:21:44,789 --> 00:21:43,280 he had this thought that he shouldn't 600 00:21:47,669 --> 00:21:44,799 take a picture 601 00:21:49,029 --> 00:21:47,679 that he knows looking back that makes no 602 00:21:51,270 --> 00:21:49,039 sense whatsoever 603 00:21:53,350 --> 00:21:51,280 and having a background in photography 604 00:21:54,230 --> 00:21:53,360 he absolutely would have wanted to take 605 00:21:57,350 --> 00:21:54,240 a picture 606 00:21:59,669 --> 00:21:57,360 after having talked about ufos 607 00:22:01,350 --> 00:21:59,679 and the nuclear connection for years and 608 00:22:03,029 --> 00:22:01,360 years and lecturing on this 609 00:22:05,110 --> 00:22:03,039 he certainly would have wanted to have 610 00:22:07,990 --> 00:22:05,120 the evidence of a photo 611 00:22:10,070 --> 00:22:08,000 and yet at the time he just sensed that 612 00:22:12,070 --> 00:22:10,080 he was not supposed to take a photo so 613 00:22:14,310 --> 00:22:12,080 he just looked with his naked eye 614 00:22:16,390 --> 00:22:14,320 but never took a photo there are a lot 615 00:22:17,590 --> 00:22:16,400 of experiences like that that people 616 00:22:19,909 --> 00:22:17,600 report where 617 00:22:20,870 --> 00:22:19,919 their behavior doesn't match what they 618 00:22:25,590 --> 00:22:20,880 would normally 619 00:22:26,310 --> 00:22:25,600 do now in the introduction to today's 620 00:22:28,950 --> 00:22:26,320 episode 621 00:22:31,190 --> 00:22:28,960 as well as on previous podcasts i've 622 00:22:32,710 --> 00:22:31,200 mentioned the generational aspect of 623 00:22:35,430 --> 00:22:32,720 this phenomenon 624 00:22:36,710 --> 00:22:35,440 that often when people do remember 625 00:22:39,029 --> 00:22:36,720 having experiences 626 00:22:40,470 --> 00:22:39,039 with these non-human intelligences or 627 00:22:43,990 --> 00:22:40,480 these 628 00:22:46,230 --> 00:22:44,000 non-conventionally 629 00:22:47,830 --> 00:22:46,240 human intelligences again they take a 630 00:22:50,230 --> 00:22:47,840 variety of forms 631 00:22:51,110 --> 00:22:50,240 but when people remember having these 632 00:22:54,070 --> 00:22:51,120 experiences 633 00:22:56,070 --> 00:22:54,080 and they then ask family members they 634 00:22:57,110 --> 00:22:56,080 often find there's a generational 635 00:22:59,590 --> 00:22:57,120 component 636 00:23:00,630 --> 00:22:59,600 that their parents may very well have 637 00:23:02,230 --> 00:23:00,640 had experiences 638 00:23:04,310 --> 00:23:02,240 even though they may not have talked 639 00:23:04,870 --> 00:23:04,320 about it before then sometimes it even 640 00:23:08,149 --> 00:23:04,880 goes back 641 00:23:10,549 --> 00:23:08,159 several generations well after 642 00:23:11,990 --> 00:23:10,559 our experiences my wife and i decided to 643 00:23:14,149 --> 00:23:12,000 follow up with her family 644 00:23:15,669 --> 00:23:14,159 to see if they remembered anything 645 00:23:17,909 --> 00:23:15,679 because my wife did have 646 00:23:20,230 --> 00:23:17,919 a recall of her parents talking vaguely 647 00:23:22,549 --> 00:23:20,240 about something when she was younger 648 00:23:25,270 --> 00:23:22,559 so we asked them about a particular 649 00:23:27,909 --> 00:23:25,280 event that she remembered hearing about 650 00:23:29,430 --> 00:23:27,919 and reluctantly they both talked to us 651 00:23:29,750 --> 00:23:29,440 about it but you could tell they were 652 00:23:32,470 --> 00:23:29,760 still 653 00:23:34,230 --> 00:23:32,480 fearful and fearful not just because of 654 00:23:34,789 --> 00:23:34,240 the nature of the experience but more 655 00:23:37,669 --> 00:23:34,799 because 656 00:23:38,870 --> 00:23:37,679 the unknown in general just scares them 657 00:23:40,310 --> 00:23:38,880 they don't like 658 00:23:42,149 --> 00:23:40,320 not being able to wrap their heads 659 00:23:43,029 --> 00:23:42,159 around something and that's definitely 660 00:23:46,630 --> 00:23:43,039 what happened 661 00:23:51,590 --> 00:23:49,430 this is how the narrative goes when my 662 00:23:54,310 --> 00:23:51,600 wife was a very young girl 663 00:23:54,630 --> 00:23:54,320 her family lived for a period of time on 664 00:24:20,070 --> 00:23:54,640 a 665 00:24:21,750 --> 00:24:20,080 so these very bright kind of bluish 666 00:24:24,390 --> 00:24:21,760 white lights were streaming through 667 00:24:26,230 --> 00:24:24,400 into the bedroom he was immediately 668 00:24:28,630 --> 00:24:26,240 terrified because again they're in the 669 00:24:30,149 --> 00:24:28,640 middle of nowhere they're not used to 670 00:24:31,830 --> 00:24:30,159 seeing planes around there 671 00:24:33,269 --> 00:24:31,840 they didn't hear helicopter sound or 672 00:24:35,350 --> 00:24:33,279 anything like that 673 00:24:37,029 --> 00:24:35,360 he turned over and tried to wake up my 674 00:24:39,750 --> 00:24:37,039 wife's mom 675 00:24:42,070 --> 00:24:39,760 but she would not wake up no matter how 676 00:24:44,630 --> 00:24:42,080 much he shook her she would not wake up 677 00:24:45,590 --> 00:24:44,640 it was almost like she was unconscious 678 00:24:48,149 --> 00:24:45,600 at this point 679 00:24:49,590 --> 00:24:48,159 he then heard what sounded like noise 680 00:24:52,230 --> 00:24:49,600 coming from downstairs 681 00:24:52,630 --> 00:24:52,240 and of course my wife as a young girl 682 00:24:55,510 --> 00:24:52,640 was 683 00:24:56,149 --> 00:24:55,520 downstairs at the time so he proceeded 684 00:25:00,070 --> 00:24:56,159 to get a 685 00:25:02,149 --> 00:25:00,080 rifle a shotgun and go downstairs 686 00:25:03,750 --> 00:25:02,159 and from there he perceived that the 687 00:25:05,269 --> 00:25:03,760 noise was actually coming from the 688 00:25:08,470 --> 00:25:05,279 basement that goes 689 00:25:11,190 --> 00:25:08,480 underground basically so he then 690 00:25:13,029 --> 00:25:11,200 proceeded to go into the basement 691 00:25:15,830 --> 00:25:13,039 started going down the stairs 692 00:25:17,350 --> 00:25:15,840 into the underground basement he got 693 00:25:20,549 --> 00:25:17,360 halfway down the stairs 694 00:25:22,789 --> 00:25:20,559 and had fear come over him 695 00:25:24,070 --> 00:25:22,799 then he had a very strange notion coming 696 00:25:27,190 --> 00:25:24,080 to his mind 697 00:25:28,950 --> 00:25:27,200 you should go back and go to sleep so 698 00:25:29,909 --> 00:25:28,960 that's exactly what he did he turned 699 00:25:32,950 --> 00:25:29,919 around he marched 700 00:25:35,430 --> 00:25:32,960 up the stairs into the first floor 701 00:25:36,470 --> 00:25:35,440 didn't check on the kids walked up to 702 00:25:39,750 --> 00:25:36,480 the second floor 703 00:25:42,549 --> 00:25:39,760 back to his bedroom and went to sleep 704 00:25:43,190 --> 00:25:42,559 and that's what happened very strange 705 00:25:45,430 --> 00:25:43,200 and again 706 00:25:46,390 --> 00:25:45,440 it is uncanny how just like my 707 00:25:48,390 --> 00:25:46,400 experience 708 00:25:49,750 --> 00:25:48,400 he chose to go to sleep in the most 709 00:25:53,510 --> 00:25:49,760 bizarre experience 710 00:25:54,950 --> 00:25:53,520 you can imagine and i'd just like to 711 00:25:55,990 --> 00:25:54,960 finish with a couple of additional 712 00:25:59,430 --> 00:25:56,000 experiences that i've 713 00:26:00,870 --> 00:25:59,440 had this first one is strange and kind 714 00:26:03,430 --> 00:26:00,880 of funny in a way 715 00:26:04,390 --> 00:26:03,440 because on a couple different occasions 716 00:26:07,510 --> 00:26:04,400 i've 717 00:26:10,149 --> 00:26:07,520 tried to engage with the c5 protocols 718 00:26:11,190 --> 00:26:10,159 and after doing so i've gone outside 719 00:26:13,029 --> 00:26:11,200 late at night 720 00:26:14,549 --> 00:26:13,039 onto our street where we often have a 721 00:26:16,789 --> 00:26:14,559 really amazing view 722 00:26:18,630 --> 00:26:16,799 of the stars over the mountains here in 723 00:26:21,590 --> 00:26:18,640 the blue ridge mountains 724 00:26:22,630 --> 00:26:21,600 and on these two occasions i didn't see 725 00:26:24,950 --> 00:26:22,640 anything in the sky 726 00:26:25,830 --> 00:26:24,960 i scanned the sky all i saw was 727 00:26:28,870 --> 00:26:25,840 satellites 728 00:26:29,669 --> 00:26:28,880 planes and stars could see mars and 729 00:26:32,149 --> 00:26:29,679 whatnot but 730 00:26:34,070 --> 00:26:32,159 no sign of something i would call a ufo 731 00:26:35,830 --> 00:26:34,080 on those occasions 732 00:26:37,830 --> 00:26:35,840 what did happen though on two different 733 00:26:39,590 --> 00:26:37,840 occasions is as i'm looking up and 734 00:26:41,990 --> 00:26:39,600 scanning across the sky 735 00:26:43,190 --> 00:26:42,000 i notice movement in my peripheral 736 00:26:46,310 --> 00:26:43,200 vision 737 00:26:49,350 --> 00:26:46,320 both times to the left and i would turn 738 00:26:49,750 --> 00:26:49,360 and just catch glimpse of what looked 739 00:26:54,470 --> 00:26:49,760 like 740 00:26:56,470 --> 00:26:54,480 two shadowy figures going around a hedge 741 00:26:58,310 --> 00:26:56,480 and all i can tell you is as soon as it 742 00:27:00,789 --> 00:26:58,320 happened i immediately thought 743 00:27:02,149 --> 00:27:00,799 was that a rabbit was that a black bear 744 00:27:03,909 --> 00:27:02,159 was that a dog 745 00:27:05,990 --> 00:27:03,919 you know what was that was it deer we 746 00:27:07,590 --> 00:27:06,000 have all those things around here but 747 00:27:08,390 --> 00:27:07,600 all i can tell you is it looked like it 748 00:27:11,110 --> 00:27:08,400 was 749 00:27:11,750 --> 00:27:11,120 standing upright humanoid looking but a 750 00:27:13,669 --> 00:27:11,760 very 751 00:27:16,390 --> 00:27:13,679 dark colored shape almost like two 752 00:27:17,909 --> 00:27:16,400 silhouettes that went around quickly and 753 00:27:19,909 --> 00:27:17,919 behind a hedge 754 00:27:22,230 --> 00:27:19,919 and it always happens in my peripheral 755 00:27:24,389 --> 00:27:22,240 vision i've had those experiences 756 00:27:25,750 --> 00:27:24,399 on numerous occasions this particular 757 00:27:27,750 --> 00:27:25,760 event happened 758 00:27:29,830 --> 00:27:27,760 when i'm in the midst of the c5 759 00:27:32,149 --> 00:27:29,840 protocols and looking at the sky 760 00:27:34,470 --> 00:27:32,159 and then ironically see something off to 761 00:27:35,029 --> 00:27:34,480 my left in my peripheral vision but just 762 00:27:39,269 --> 00:27:35,039 for 763 00:27:42,389 --> 00:27:41,510 i'd also like to add that my usual 764 00:27:44,549 --> 00:27:42,399 method 765 00:27:46,870 --> 00:27:44,559 where i feel like i sometimes make a 766 00:27:50,310 --> 00:27:46,880 kind of contact but it's a very 767 00:27:52,070 --> 00:27:50,320 kind of obtuse abstract kind of 768 00:27:53,750 --> 00:27:52,080 contact where it feels more like i 769 00:27:55,830 --> 00:27:53,760 receive downloads 770 00:27:57,510 --> 00:27:55,840 is during my meditation practice i 771 00:27:58,789 --> 00:27:57,520 meditate in the morning and in the 772 00:28:02,230 --> 00:27:58,799 evening 773 00:28:04,549 --> 00:28:02,240 practice 774 00:28:05,990 --> 00:28:04,559 i will sometimes enter a kind of 775 00:28:07,190 --> 00:28:06,000 modality a kind of state of 776 00:28:08,950 --> 00:28:07,200 consciousness 777 00:28:10,789 --> 00:28:08,960 where i feel like information is 778 00:28:14,310 --> 00:28:10,799 downloading and 779 00:28:15,909 --> 00:28:14,320 often the next day certain courses of 780 00:28:17,990 --> 00:28:15,919 action will occur to me that i'm 781 00:28:19,990 --> 00:28:18,000 surprised at that i'm surprised i want 782 00:28:23,029 --> 00:28:20,000 to do that or that's what i've decided 783 00:28:25,110 --> 00:28:23,039 and yet something becomes really clear 784 00:28:26,549 --> 00:28:25,120 you could argue this is my higher self 785 00:28:29,750 --> 00:28:26,559 that i'm getting in touch with 786 00:28:29,990 --> 00:28:29,760 and that's why it resonates with me but 787 00:28:32,230 --> 00:28:30,000 it 788 00:28:34,630 --> 00:28:32,240 often feels like something else feels 789 00:28:37,830 --> 00:28:34,640 like some other kind of intelligence 790 00:28:40,470 --> 00:28:37,840 is communicating but not in a typical 791 00:28:41,110 --> 00:28:40,480 telepathic you know thought to thought 792 00:28:43,830 --> 00:28:41,120 kind of way 793 00:28:47,029 --> 00:28:43,840 more like direct downloads that's been 794 00:28:51,269 --> 00:28:48,789 at the end of the day what do these 795 00:28:53,110 --> 00:28:51,279 kinds of experiences tell us 796 00:28:55,510 --> 00:28:53,120 they tell us that the conventional 797 00:28:58,789 --> 00:28:55,520 mechanistic view of the universe 798 00:29:00,230 --> 00:28:58,799 is woefully lacking it may indeed have 799 00:29:03,830 --> 00:29:00,240 everything precisely 800 00:29:06,950 --> 00:29:03,840 upside down in the sense that actually 801 00:29:10,310 --> 00:29:06,960 consciousness is primary and matter 802 00:29:12,149 --> 00:29:10,320 and energy are derivatives rather than 803 00:29:14,230 --> 00:29:12,159 the other way around as 804 00:29:16,470 --> 00:29:14,240 scientific materialism would have you 805 00:29:19,190 --> 00:29:16,480 believe 806 00:29:20,389 --> 00:29:19,200 and on that note we've come to the close 807 00:29:23,190 --> 00:29:20,399 of another edition 808 00:29:23,990 --> 00:29:23,200 of the point of convergence podcast as 809 00:29:26,470 --> 00:29:24,000 always 810 00:29:27,669 --> 00:29:26,480 let's keep this conversation going and 811 00:29:29,830 --> 00:29:27,679 growing 812 00:29:31,909 --> 00:29:29,840 but until next time friends from deep 813 00:29:33,029 --> 00:29:31,919 within the blue ridge mountains of north
