1 00:00:02,830 --> 00:00:07,909 [Music] 2 00:00:11,589 --> 00:00:08,870 hello 3 00:00:13,589 --> 00:00:11,599 and welcome to episode number 31 of the 4 00:00:18,150 --> 00:00:13,599 point of convergence podcast 5 00:00:20,150 --> 00:00:18,160 as always i'm your host exo academian 6 00:00:22,790 --> 00:00:20,160 for those tuned in to more recent 7 00:00:24,870 --> 00:00:22,800 developments within the field of ufology 8 00:00:26,550 --> 00:00:24,880 there is a clear recognition that the 9 00:00:28,550 --> 00:00:26,560 conversation has moved in some 10 00:00:30,790 --> 00:00:28,560 surprising directions 11 00:00:33,110 --> 00:00:30,800 what began as an assumption that we were 12 00:00:36,310 --> 00:00:33,120 witnessing the presence of spacecraft 13 00:00:38,950 --> 00:00:36,320 being piloted by extraterrestrials has 14 00:00:41,030 --> 00:00:38,960 evolved into a much broader conversation 15 00:00:42,950 --> 00:00:41,040 that involves interdimensionality 16 00:00:44,549 --> 00:00:42,960 potential crypto-terrestrials and 17 00:00:46,709 --> 00:00:44,559 ultra-terrestrials 18 00:00:47,750 --> 00:00:46,719 consciousness control the manipulation 19 00:00:50,869 --> 00:00:47,760 of space-time 20 00:00:53,110 --> 00:00:50,879 and much more in many ways one could 21 00:00:54,950 --> 00:00:53,120 argue that what began as a conversation 22 00:00:56,950 --> 00:00:54,960 singularly about the potential 23 00:00:58,709 --> 00:00:56,960 visitation of visitors from some 24 00:01:00,709 --> 00:00:58,719 far-flung star system 25 00:01:02,950 --> 00:01:00,719 has evolved into a discussion about the 26 00:01:04,869 --> 00:01:02,960 nature of reality itself 27 00:01:07,030 --> 00:01:04,879 the implications that arise from the 28 00:01:09,149 --> 00:01:07,040 so-called ufo phenomenon 29 00:01:11,109 --> 00:01:09,159 really are that far-reaching and 30 00:01:12,870 --> 00:01:11,119 paradigm-stretching 31 00:01:14,550 --> 00:01:12,880 interestingly though this kind of 32 00:01:18,149 --> 00:01:14,560 deep-seated soul-searching 33 00:01:20,630 --> 00:01:18,159 is not unique to the field of ufology 34 00:01:21,510 --> 00:01:20,640 as it turns out other fields of inquiry 35 00:01:24,469 --> 00:01:21,520 are experiencing 36 00:01:25,350 --> 00:01:24,479 similar upheavals while the often 37 00:01:27,590 --> 00:01:25,360 categorized 38 00:01:28,630 --> 00:01:27,600 soft sciences of sociology and 39 00:01:30,550 --> 00:01:28,640 psychology 40 00:01:32,390 --> 00:01:30,560 are facing these challenges the 41 00:01:35,590 --> 00:01:32,400 so-called hard sciences 42 00:01:37,590 --> 00:01:35,600 are certainly not immune either while 43 00:01:39,670 --> 00:01:37,600 the outer reaches of psychology 44 00:01:40,950 --> 00:01:39,680 often termed parapsychology for that 45 00:01:42,630 --> 00:01:40,960 very reason 46 00:01:44,870 --> 00:01:42,640 are trying to make sense of human 47 00:01:47,350 --> 00:01:44,880 capacities that apparently violate 48 00:01:49,429 --> 00:01:47,360 our notions of space-time altogether 49 00:01:50,069 --> 00:01:49,439 here i speak of various categories of 50 00:01:53,190 --> 00:01:50,079 so-called 51 00:01:56,709 --> 00:01:53,200 esp telepathy precognition 52 00:01:58,389 --> 00:01:56,719 clairvoyance and psychokinesis etc 53 00:02:01,510 --> 00:01:58,399 physics is grappling with equally 54 00:02:03,510 --> 00:02:01,520 baffling notions such as retrocausation 55 00:02:04,950 --> 00:02:03,520 where the future seemingly causes the 56 00:02:07,749 --> 00:02:04,960 past or at least 57 00:02:08,550 --> 00:02:07,759 where the arrow of time seems to operate 58 00:02:11,110 --> 00:02:08,560 equally well 59 00:02:12,550 --> 00:02:11,120 in both directions contrary to 60 00:02:13,990 --> 00:02:12,560 everything we've understood about the 61 00:02:17,830 --> 00:02:14,000 nature of reality 62 00:02:21,990 --> 00:02:20,229 tellingly several astute observers 63 00:02:24,150 --> 00:02:22,000 including pioneering researchers 64 00:02:25,589 --> 00:02:24,160 like dean raiden of the institute of 65 00:02:27,830 --> 00:02:25,599 noetic sciences 66 00:02:29,430 --> 00:02:27,840 have noticed striking parallels emerging 67 00:02:32,710 --> 00:02:29,440 between these various fields of 68 00:02:34,309 --> 00:02:32,720 inquiry specifically raiden and others 69 00:02:34,949 --> 00:02:34,319 have noted that the interconnected 70 00:02:37,350 --> 00:02:34,959 fabric of 71 00:02:38,869 --> 00:02:37,360 information that underlies the field of 72 00:02:41,670 --> 00:02:38,879 quantum mechanics 73 00:02:43,589 --> 00:02:41,680 bears remarkable similarity to the kind 74 00:02:44,550 --> 00:02:43,599 of fundamental structure that seemingly 75 00:02:46,869 --> 00:02:44,560 gives rise 76 00:02:48,470 --> 00:02:46,879 to phenomena plotted along the psi 77 00:02:50,470 --> 00:02:48,480 spectrum 78 00:02:52,309 --> 00:02:50,480 the essential question that arises from 79 00:02:54,550 --> 00:02:52,319 these fascinating observations 80 00:02:56,550 --> 00:02:54,560 is this what does this apparent 81 00:02:58,229 --> 00:02:56,560 crossover tell us about the nature of 82 00:02:59,750 --> 00:02:58,239 ultimate reality 83 00:03:01,589 --> 00:02:59,760 clearly what we're seeing here is 84 00:03:04,390 --> 00:03:01,599 evidence of a level of reality 85 00:03:05,509 --> 00:03:04,400 that is more informational and symbolic 86 00:03:08,630 --> 00:03:05,519 in nature 87 00:03:10,229 --> 00:03:08,640 and it is this substrate of reality that 88 00:03:12,229 --> 00:03:10,239 ultimately gives rise to what we 89 00:03:16,070 --> 00:03:12,239 consider the physical world 90 00:03:18,470 --> 00:03:16,080 the realm of matter and energy 91 00:03:19,910 --> 00:03:18,480 in what way are human beings operating 92 00:03:22,149 --> 00:03:19,920 usually unknowingly 93 00:03:23,990 --> 00:03:22,159 at this informational layer one that 94 00:03:25,270 --> 00:03:24,000 apparently exists beyond the constraints 95 00:03:27,589 --> 00:03:25,280 of space and time 96 00:03:29,589 --> 00:03:27,599 as we had traditionally understood them 97 00:03:32,949 --> 00:03:29,599 when we send messages to each other 98 00:03:33,509 --> 00:03:32,959 telepathically or when cia intelligence 99 00:03:35,990 --> 00:03:33,519 analysts 100 00:03:38,149 --> 00:03:36,000 employ the protocols of remote viewing 101 00:03:40,309 --> 00:03:38,159 to see into underground bases in the 102 00:03:42,309 --> 00:03:40,319 former soviet union 103 00:03:43,830 --> 00:03:42,319 furthermore in what way does this 104 00:03:45,910 --> 00:03:43,840 understanding of reality 105 00:03:48,390 --> 00:03:45,920 help to explain some of the more bizarre 106 00:03:50,309 --> 00:03:48,400 elements of the ufo phenomenon 107 00:03:52,869 --> 00:03:50,319 here we speak of events such as when 108 00:03:54,710 --> 00:03:52,879 people are passed through solid objects 109 00:03:56,789 --> 00:03:54,720 or when alien intelligences are 110 00:04:00,309 --> 00:03:56,799 apparently able to read the minds 111 00:04:01,910 --> 00:04:00,319 of abductees contactees and even see 112 00:04:04,149 --> 00:04:01,920 into their futures 113 00:04:06,309 --> 00:04:04,159 or how an alien species is able to 114 00:04:08,710 --> 00:04:06,319 traverse the immense distances 115 00:04:10,630 --> 00:04:08,720 involved in interstellar travel with 116 00:04:12,789 --> 00:04:10,640 relative ease 117 00:04:13,750 --> 00:04:12,799 the convergence of the fields we've just 118 00:04:16,870 --> 00:04:13,760 identified 119 00:04:18,390 --> 00:04:16,880 namely ufology parapsychology and 120 00:04:20,069 --> 00:04:18,400 quantum physics 121 00:04:22,150 --> 00:04:20,079 and the implications regarding the 122 00:04:24,710 --> 00:04:22,160 fundamental nature of reality 123 00:04:26,230 --> 00:04:24,720 that are arising as a result is the 124 00:04:28,550 --> 00:04:26,240 subject matter of this 125 00:04:33,140 --> 00:04:28,560 the 31st episode of the point of 126 00:04:39,670 --> 00:04:37,030 [Music] 127 00:04:41,749 --> 00:04:39,680 a couple of episodes ago i mentioned how 128 00:04:43,990 --> 00:04:41,759 i like to go back and forth between the 129 00:04:46,790 --> 00:04:44,000 micro and the macro perspective 130 00:04:48,710 --> 00:04:46,800 when it comes to the ufo phenomenon and 131 00:04:50,790 --> 00:04:48,720 larger questions about the nature of 132 00:04:53,350 --> 00:04:50,800 ultimate reality 133 00:04:53,830 --> 00:04:53,360 in this podcast i'd like to zoom back 134 00:04:56,310 --> 00:04:53,840 out 135 00:04:57,270 --> 00:04:56,320 take us to the macro perspective again 136 00:04:59,990 --> 00:04:57,280 and as i said 137 00:05:02,029 --> 00:05:00,000 talk about some of the crossover between 138 00:05:05,110 --> 00:05:02,039 fields such as ufology 139 00:05:07,110 --> 00:05:05,120 parapsychology and quantum physics 140 00:05:09,590 --> 00:05:07,120 the crossover really is telling us 141 00:05:11,430 --> 00:05:09,600 something fundamental about reality 142 00:05:13,430 --> 00:05:11,440 and the fact that we're seeing such 143 00:05:16,710 --> 00:05:13,440 similar kinds of phenomena 144 00:05:19,110 --> 00:05:16,720 arise in all three fields is remarkable 145 00:05:23,110 --> 00:05:19,120 and definitely telling something we 146 00:05:25,189 --> 00:05:23,120 should definitely be paying attention to 147 00:05:28,150 --> 00:05:25,199 so let's discuss some of the phenomena 148 00:05:31,350 --> 00:05:28,160 we see arising in each of these fields 149 00:05:32,950 --> 00:05:31,360 let's start with ufology one of the 150 00:05:33,909 --> 00:05:32,960 things that has been observed time and 151 00:05:35,990 --> 00:05:33,919 time again 152 00:05:38,070 --> 00:05:36,000 is human beings being passed through 153 00:05:41,350 --> 00:05:38,080 physical walls and 154 00:05:44,469 --> 00:05:41,360 human beings being levitated and 155 00:05:45,510 --> 00:05:44,479 supposed aliens passing through walls or 156 00:05:47,749 --> 00:05:45,520 even dissolving 157 00:05:49,590 --> 00:05:47,759 entire walls of a house so numerous 158 00:05:53,350 --> 00:05:49,600 beings can walk in 159 00:05:56,230 --> 00:05:53,360 so structures we think of as being solid 160 00:05:58,469 --> 00:05:56,240 seemingly are not for these others how 161 00:06:01,189 --> 00:05:58,479 are they accomplishing that 162 00:06:01,590 --> 00:06:01,199 we also see evidence of craft that can 163 00:06:04,629 --> 00:06:01,600 make 164 00:06:07,270 --> 00:06:04,639 90 degree turns on a dime which 165 00:06:09,749 --> 00:06:07,280 if a human being was piloting such craft 166 00:06:12,070 --> 00:06:09,759 would be crushed 167 00:06:13,430 --> 00:06:12,080 g-forces would be overwhelming how are 168 00:06:16,550 --> 00:06:13,440 these aliens 169 00:06:19,350 --> 00:06:16,560 doing this now even if they are being 170 00:06:20,070 --> 00:06:19,360 piloted remotely that there's no actual 171 00:06:22,710 --> 00:06:20,080 biological 172 00:06:24,790 --> 00:06:22,720 beings inside the craft they are still 173 00:06:26,870 --> 00:06:24,800 performing maneuvers that defy our 174 00:06:28,950 --> 00:06:26,880 current understanding of physics 175 00:06:30,710 --> 00:06:28,960 they seem to almost operate within 176 00:06:33,590 --> 00:06:30,720 bubbles of space-time 177 00:06:34,950 --> 00:06:33,600 isolated space-time isolated from the 178 00:06:38,230 --> 00:06:34,960 external environment 179 00:06:39,029 --> 00:06:38,240 of our atmosphere that's the ufo 180 00:06:40,749 --> 00:06:39,039 phenomenon 181 00:06:43,749 --> 00:06:40,759 now let's look at some examples in 182 00:06:49,430 --> 00:06:43,759 parapsychology 183 00:06:50,629 --> 00:06:49,440 traditionally includes phenomena such as 184 00:06:53,350 --> 00:06:50,639 telepathy 185 00:06:54,870 --> 00:06:53,360 precognition clairvoyance and 186 00:06:56,390 --> 00:06:54,880 telekinesis 187 00:06:58,230 --> 00:06:56,400 and because some people are more 188 00:07:00,230 --> 00:06:58,240 familiar with these terms than others 189 00:07:02,950 --> 00:07:00,240 i want to quickly go over what each of 190 00:07:05,589 --> 00:07:02,960 these represent what they mean 191 00:07:06,629 --> 00:07:05,599 telepathy first of all is mind to mind 192 00:07:09,350 --> 00:07:06,639 communication 193 00:07:09,990 --> 00:07:09,360 so no speech is involved no sight is 194 00:07:12,150 --> 00:07:10,000 involved 195 00:07:13,830 --> 00:07:12,160 none of our normal sense organs are used 196 00:07:16,950 --> 00:07:13,840 to pick up information 197 00:07:17,589 --> 00:07:16,960 and yet people can communicate thought 198 00:07:19,909 --> 00:07:17,599 to thought 199 00:07:20,629 --> 00:07:19,919 mind to mind information is passed 200 00:07:22,390 --> 00:07:20,639 somehow 201 00:07:24,710 --> 00:07:22,400 but not through any of our traditional 202 00:07:27,350 --> 00:07:24,720 sense organs 203 00:07:28,150 --> 00:07:27,360 next up we have precognition this one's 204 00:07:31,029 --> 00:07:28,160 fairly simple 205 00:07:32,710 --> 00:07:31,039 it's knowing the future ahead of time 206 00:07:34,230 --> 00:07:32,720 you're cognizing about something that 207 00:07:38,390 --> 00:07:34,240 hasn't happened yet 208 00:07:40,950 --> 00:07:38,400 hence pre-cognition clairvoyance 209 00:07:41,830 --> 00:07:40,960 is picking up information that is not 210 00:07:44,710 --> 00:07:41,840 immediately 211 00:07:46,790 --> 00:07:44,720 available to you so again remote viewing 212 00:07:47,430 --> 00:07:46,800 is one kind of clairvoyance these are 213 00:07:49,110 --> 00:07:47,440 specific 214 00:07:50,869 --> 00:07:49,120 protocols when we speak of remote 215 00:07:51,589 --> 00:07:50,879 viewing that were developed by the 216 00:07:54,070 --> 00:07:51,599 government 217 00:07:55,110 --> 00:07:54,080 to try and obtain information about 218 00:07:57,189 --> 00:07:55,120 sources that are 219 00:07:59,029 --> 00:07:57,199 non-local and as i mentioned in the 220 00:08:02,070 --> 00:07:59,039 introduction that would sometimes 221 00:08:04,469 --> 00:08:02,080 include psychic spies so-called 222 00:08:06,070 --> 00:08:04,479 looking into events going on in the 223 00:08:09,430 --> 00:08:06,080 soviet union 224 00:08:11,270 --> 00:08:09,440 but what's shocking about clairvoyance 225 00:08:13,909 --> 00:08:11,280 and even remote viewing which again is a 226 00:08:17,350 --> 00:08:13,919 more specific kind of clairvoyance 227 00:08:20,070 --> 00:08:17,360 information can supposedly be picked up 228 00:08:22,550 --> 00:08:20,080 regardless of how far away something is 229 00:08:24,469 --> 00:08:22,560 there have even been examples where 230 00:08:26,629 --> 00:08:24,479 analysts have picked up information 231 00:08:29,510 --> 00:08:26,639 about the planet mars 232 00:08:30,230 --> 00:08:29,520 furthermore time also does not seem to 233 00:08:32,310 --> 00:08:30,240 be an issue 234 00:08:34,149 --> 00:08:32,320 as i said in the introduction a lot of 235 00:08:37,110 --> 00:08:34,159 these phenomena seem to occur 236 00:08:38,070 --> 00:08:37,120 outside of space-time altogether and yes 237 00:08:41,029 --> 00:08:38,080 that means that 238 00:08:42,709 --> 00:08:41,039 via clairvoyance or remote viewing you 239 00:08:43,750 --> 00:08:42,719 could pick up information about the 240 00:08:47,030 --> 00:08:43,760 distant past 241 00:08:49,670 --> 00:08:47,040 or the distant future and finally 242 00:08:50,550 --> 00:08:49,680 telekinesis which is the manipulation of 243 00:08:53,750 --> 00:08:50,560 matter 244 00:08:56,389 --> 00:08:53,760 through pure intention through mind 245 00:08:58,550 --> 00:08:56,399 direct intention specifically that you 246 00:09:03,590 --> 00:08:58,560 can change matter in the physical world 247 00:09:08,550 --> 00:09:05,590 finally let's consider the revelations 248 00:09:10,630 --> 00:09:08,560 that arose in quantum physics and i say 249 00:09:12,949 --> 00:09:10,640 arose because this happened some time 250 00:09:15,509 --> 00:09:12,959 ago in fact many of the original 251 00:09:18,470 --> 00:09:15,519 observations that gave rise to the 252 00:09:21,750 --> 00:09:18,480 amazing revelations of quantum physics 253 00:09:24,230 --> 00:09:21,760 came about in the early 20th century 254 00:09:26,550 --> 00:09:24,240 so we've spent the next 100 years trying 255 00:09:29,750 --> 00:09:26,560 to grapple with these revelations 256 00:09:32,710 --> 00:09:29,760 trying to reconcile them with our 257 00:09:34,710 --> 00:09:32,720 classical understanding of physics when 258 00:09:35,990 --> 00:09:34,720 it comes to the quantum level of reality 259 00:09:38,949 --> 00:09:36,000 which is the very small 260 00:09:40,550 --> 00:09:38,959 scale of reality it seems like 261 00:09:44,070 --> 00:09:40,560 probability distributions 262 00:09:46,829 --> 00:09:44,080 hold sway rather than specific yes or no 263 00:09:48,710 --> 00:09:46,839 on or off one or zero kind of 264 00:09:50,630 --> 00:09:48,720 differentiations 265 00:09:52,230 --> 00:09:50,640 in other words something can be both a 266 00:09:54,150 --> 00:09:52,240 particle and a wave 267 00:09:55,990 --> 00:09:54,160 or more specifically it can be the 268 00:09:58,870 --> 00:09:56,000 potential of either 269 00:09:59,430 --> 00:09:58,880 and shockingly only when observation is 270 00:10:01,590 --> 00:09:59,440 made 271 00:10:02,790 --> 00:10:01,600 hence only when consciousness seemingly 272 00:10:05,990 --> 00:10:02,800 interacts 273 00:10:08,310 --> 00:10:06,000 with this probability distribution does 274 00:10:09,509 --> 00:10:08,320 a decision actually get rendered and 275 00:10:11,509 --> 00:10:09,519 then something 276 00:10:13,430 --> 00:10:11,519 collapses we have the collapse of the 277 00:10:14,069 --> 00:10:13,440 wave function as it's famously referred 278 00:10:17,110 --> 00:10:14,079 to 279 00:10:18,870 --> 00:10:17,120 and then and only then does that 280 00:10:20,949 --> 00:10:18,880 possibility 281 00:10:22,069 --> 00:10:20,959 resolve into one thing or another for 282 00:10:25,910 --> 00:10:22,079 instance a wave 283 00:10:26,790 --> 00:10:25,920 or a particle now even though i just 284 00:10:28,470 --> 00:10:26,800 gave examples 285 00:10:30,389 --> 00:10:28,480 in all three of those fields where we 286 00:10:32,389 --> 00:10:30,399 see striking crossover 287 00:10:34,150 --> 00:10:32,399 in terms of the manipulation or 288 00:10:36,310 --> 00:10:34,160 distortion of space-time 289 00:10:37,910 --> 00:10:36,320 sometimes the seemingly irrelevance of 290 00:10:40,470 --> 00:10:37,920 space-time altogether 291 00:10:41,030 --> 00:10:40,480 and we also see non-local effects in all 292 00:10:44,230 --> 00:10:41,040 three 293 00:10:45,750 --> 00:10:44,240 cases what's striking is that many many 294 00:10:48,790 --> 00:10:45,760 people in all three of those 295 00:10:50,550 --> 00:10:48,800 fields will simply ignore this data for 296 00:10:52,550 --> 00:10:50,560 instance in these sciences 297 00:10:54,069 --> 00:10:52,560 even though we've had the revelations of 298 00:10:57,030 --> 00:10:54,079 quantum experiments 299 00:10:58,949 --> 00:10:57,040 for over 100 years now many people will 300 00:11:01,829 --> 00:10:58,959 still either explain this away 301 00:11:03,750 --> 00:11:01,839 assume it only works on the micro scale 302 00:11:05,190 --> 00:11:03,760 of reality which kind of is a silly 303 00:11:07,269 --> 00:11:05,200 argument to make because it's still 304 00:11:09,190 --> 00:11:07,279 there we still have to account for it 305 00:11:11,190 --> 00:11:09,200 or they just hope that some way it'll go 306 00:11:13,750 --> 00:11:11,200 away someday 307 00:11:15,829 --> 00:11:13,760 in psychology the size spectrum 308 00:11:18,790 --> 00:11:15,839 experiments have also been 309 00:11:19,910 --> 00:11:18,800 done many many times and we find these 310 00:11:22,550 --> 00:11:19,920 real effects 311 00:11:23,670 --> 00:11:22,560 this significance really shows up over 312 00:11:26,230 --> 00:11:23,680 and over again 313 00:11:28,230 --> 00:11:26,240 that people really can know the future 314 00:11:29,910 --> 00:11:28,240 that people really can telepathically 315 00:11:32,470 --> 00:11:29,920 communicate with each other 316 00:11:34,310 --> 00:11:32,480 that psychokinesis where the mind really 317 00:11:36,790 --> 00:11:34,320 can affect the physical world 318 00:11:37,750 --> 00:11:36,800 all that has been documented time and 319 00:11:39,590 --> 00:11:37,760 time again 320 00:11:41,350 --> 00:11:39,600 by different researchers around the 321 00:11:43,509 --> 00:11:41,360 world and yet 322 00:11:45,350 --> 00:11:43,519 mainstream psychologists even are 323 00:11:46,870 --> 00:11:45,360 embarrassed by these results by these 324 00:11:48,150 --> 00:11:46,880 experiments because they want to be 325 00:11:51,350 --> 00:11:48,160 taken seriously 326 00:11:54,069 --> 00:11:51,360 by the other sciences so many again 327 00:11:55,430 --> 00:11:54,079 ignore it explain it away or assume 328 00:11:59,910 --> 00:11:55,440 sometimes that fraud 329 00:12:02,790 --> 00:11:59,920 is involved now speaking of parallels 330 00:12:03,670 --> 00:12:02,800 in the same way that psychologists are 331 00:12:06,870 --> 00:12:03,680 embarrassed 332 00:12:08,550 --> 00:12:06,880 by parapsychology we see something 333 00:12:11,509 --> 00:12:08,560 similar with ufology 334 00:12:13,110 --> 00:12:11,519 where nuts and bolts ufologists are 335 00:12:15,910 --> 00:12:13,120 embarrassed by 336 00:12:16,629 --> 00:12:15,920 the more psychological spiritual 337 00:12:19,590 --> 00:12:16,639 energetic 338 00:12:21,509 --> 00:12:19,600 aspects of the phenomenon that shows up 339 00:12:23,990 --> 00:12:21,519 in the data time and time again 340 00:12:24,870 --> 00:12:24,000 they would rather focus on nuts and 341 00:12:27,910 --> 00:12:24,880 bolts craft 342 00:12:29,550 --> 00:12:27,920 physical vehicles that are in our sky 343 00:12:31,590 --> 00:12:29,560 supposedly being piloted by 344 00:12:32,230 --> 00:12:31,600 extraterrestrials they'd rather leave it 345 00:12:33,590 --> 00:12:32,240 there 346 00:12:36,230 --> 00:12:33,600 because that's something that can be 347 00:12:37,990 --> 00:12:36,240 measured it is hard data that we can 348 00:12:40,230 --> 00:12:38,000 show to other scientists in other 349 00:12:42,069 --> 00:12:40,240 fields and hopefully get this field 350 00:12:44,230 --> 00:12:42,079 taken more seriously 351 00:12:45,269 --> 00:12:44,240 nevertheless the data is there there's 352 00:12:47,430 --> 00:12:45,279 much more than just 353 00:12:48,870 --> 00:12:47,440 physical craft in our skies although 354 00:12:51,269 --> 00:12:48,880 that is part of it 355 00:12:53,350 --> 00:12:51,279 but there's huge psychological effects 356 00:12:55,030 --> 00:12:53,360 there's huge psychic effects as 357 00:12:57,430 --> 00:12:55,040 valet and others have brought to our 358 00:12:59,910 --> 00:12:57,440 attention many many times 359 00:13:01,269 --> 00:12:59,920 and this seemingly goes back decades in 360 00:13:03,910 --> 00:13:01,279 fact many suggest 361 00:13:05,030 --> 00:13:03,920 that this may be a phenomenon that has 362 00:13:07,910 --> 00:13:05,040 been going on 363 00:13:08,710 --> 00:13:07,920 since time immemorial in other words 364 00:13:11,910 --> 00:13:08,720 what we're seeing 365 00:13:15,590 --> 00:13:11,920 is modern day experiences similar to 366 00:13:17,750 --> 00:13:15,600 akin to what our ancestors ran into 367 00:13:19,030 --> 00:13:17,760 when they encountered beings that have 368 00:13:22,870 --> 00:13:19,040 been long forgotten 369 00:13:25,829 --> 00:13:22,880 in the lore of distant history 370 00:13:26,310 --> 00:13:25,839 now while we have an impressive body of 371 00:13:29,190 --> 00:13:26,320 data 372 00:13:30,230 --> 00:13:29,200 when it comes to contact slash abduction 373 00:13:33,030 --> 00:13:30,240 experiences 374 00:13:34,230 --> 00:13:33,040 between human beings and these non-human 375 00:13:36,710 --> 00:13:34,240 others 376 00:13:37,750 --> 00:13:36,720 much of that information is admittedly 377 00:13:40,629 --> 00:13:37,760 anecdotal 378 00:13:42,230 --> 00:13:40,639 we do have physical aspects that show up 379 00:13:45,110 --> 00:13:42,240 scoop marks 380 00:13:47,030 --> 00:13:45,120 implantations things like that bruising 381 00:13:49,189 --> 00:13:47,040 sometimes healing 382 00:13:50,310 --> 00:13:49,199 nevertheless much of the information is 383 00:13:52,069 --> 00:13:50,320 anecdotal 384 00:13:53,910 --> 00:13:52,079 but this is where we can look to these 385 00:13:56,389 --> 00:13:53,920 other fields and 386 00:13:57,430 --> 00:13:56,399 see where we're seeing similar effects 387 00:14:00,949 --> 00:13:57,440 similar phenomena 388 00:14:03,269 --> 00:14:00,959 arise as i said phenomena that seemingly 389 00:14:05,350 --> 00:14:03,279 violate our assumptions about the way 390 00:14:07,590 --> 00:14:05,360 that reality is supposed to work 391 00:14:09,509 --> 00:14:07,600 and if we can see it happening there see 392 00:14:11,829 --> 00:14:09,519 how it's documented there 393 00:14:13,030 --> 00:14:11,839 then that gives us confidence that these 394 00:14:15,269 --> 00:14:13,040 anecdotal accounts 395 00:14:19,030 --> 00:14:15,279 really are touching on something real 396 00:14:22,470 --> 00:14:20,790 let me give you an example of the kind 397 00:14:24,310 --> 00:14:22,480 of data i'm talking about 398 00:14:25,509 --> 00:14:24,320 the kind of rigorous experimentation 399 00:14:27,430 --> 00:14:25,519 that has been done 400 00:14:29,269 --> 00:14:27,440 to demonstrate that this aspect of 401 00:14:31,910 --> 00:14:29,279 reality really is 402 00:14:32,470 --> 00:14:31,920 real i mentioned the figure of dean 403 00:14:34,949 --> 00:14:32,480 raiden 404 00:14:37,189 --> 00:14:34,959 he's been a pioneer in this field in 405 00:14:39,990 --> 00:14:37,199 looking into the psy phenomenon 406 00:14:42,069 --> 00:14:40,000 and he's done experiments that have 407 00:14:43,030 --> 00:14:42,079 demonstrated beyond a shadow of a doubt 408 00:14:45,430 --> 00:14:43,040 that this 409 00:14:46,870 --> 00:14:45,440 is real that these effects are real that 410 00:14:49,030 --> 00:14:46,880 they can be replicated 411 00:14:49,990 --> 00:14:49,040 just like any other kind of scientific 412 00:14:51,910 --> 00:14:50,000 experiment 413 00:14:53,350 --> 00:14:51,920 indeed other researchers have followed 414 00:14:56,389 --> 00:14:53,360 up his experiments 415 00:14:58,230 --> 00:14:56,399 and come to the same conclusions let me 416 00:15:00,069 --> 00:14:58,240 give you one example of a kind of 417 00:15:02,310 --> 00:15:00,079 experiment he did 418 00:15:04,870 --> 00:15:02,320 this one was to test whether or not 419 00:15:07,269 --> 00:15:04,880 human beings really do somehow 420 00:15:08,710 --> 00:15:07,279 pick up the future in other words they 421 00:15:09,189 --> 00:15:08,720 recognize something that's going to 422 00:15:13,350 --> 00:15:09,199 happen 423 00:15:16,389 --> 00:15:13,360 sounds crazy 424 00:15:18,629 --> 00:15:16,399 it sounds absurd and yet we have data 425 00:15:20,949 --> 00:15:18,639 showing this is indeed the case 426 00:15:22,310 --> 00:15:20,959 data that's very difficult to argue with 427 00:15:23,509 --> 00:15:22,320 because it's been through rigorous 428 00:15:27,110 --> 00:15:23,519 controls 429 00:15:28,710 --> 00:15:27,120 in thorough scientific environments 430 00:15:30,949 --> 00:15:28,720 the specific experiment i'd like to 431 00:15:33,670 --> 00:15:30,959 bring to your attention is where 432 00:15:34,949 --> 00:15:33,680 a series of images were pre-loaded on a 433 00:15:37,030 --> 00:15:34,959 computer system 434 00:15:38,550 --> 00:15:37,040 and then randomly at the very last 435 00:15:39,990 --> 00:15:38,560 minute the computer system would 436 00:15:42,310 --> 00:15:40,000 randomly select one 437 00:15:44,790 --> 00:15:42,320 of these images to present to a human 438 00:15:47,590 --> 00:15:44,800 being that was watching a screen 439 00:15:49,509 --> 00:15:47,600 again none of the researchers nor the 440 00:15:51,910 --> 00:15:49,519 subjects involved in the study 441 00:15:53,990 --> 00:15:51,920 knew what the next photo would be of 442 00:15:56,629 --> 00:15:54,000 even the computer didn't know it was a 443 00:15:58,550 --> 00:15:56,639 function that randomly picked an image 444 00:16:01,110 --> 00:15:58,560 right before it was shown 445 00:16:02,230 --> 00:16:01,120 some of these images were calming and 446 00:16:05,269 --> 00:16:02,240 some were 447 00:16:09,590 --> 00:16:05,279 more startling what was interesting 448 00:16:12,710 --> 00:16:09,600 is human beings showed bodily reactions 449 00:16:15,189 --> 00:16:12,720 just before the images were shown 450 00:16:17,509 --> 00:16:15,199 so let me make that clear even before 451 00:16:20,389 --> 00:16:17,519 the images showed up on the screen 452 00:16:22,230 --> 00:16:20,399 the human body would show effects 453 00:16:24,550 --> 00:16:22,240 suggesting they knew 454 00:16:25,990 --> 00:16:24,560 exactly what kind of image was going to 455 00:16:28,710 --> 00:16:26,000 show up in other words 456 00:16:29,430 --> 00:16:28,720 if it was a startling image then their 457 00:16:32,310 --> 00:16:29,440 body 458 00:16:34,389 --> 00:16:32,320 their somatic response would show that 459 00:16:36,629 --> 00:16:34,399 through things like pupil dilation 460 00:16:38,949 --> 00:16:36,639 and skin conduction and this happened 461 00:16:40,870 --> 00:16:38,959 just before the image came on the screen 462 00:16:42,389 --> 00:16:40,880 this was the case both for calming and 463 00:16:45,030 --> 00:16:42,399 startling images 464 00:16:46,790 --> 00:16:45,040 that different responses arose and this 465 00:16:49,670 --> 00:16:46,800 happened time and time again 466 00:16:50,310 --> 00:16:49,680 for subject after subject this tells us 467 00:16:52,310 --> 00:16:50,320 somehow 468 00:16:54,069 --> 00:16:52,320 even before we can cognize it before we 469 00:16:56,710 --> 00:16:54,079 can think about it 470 00:16:57,990 --> 00:16:56,720 something in our body in fact numerous 471 00:17:00,629 --> 00:16:58,000 aspects of our body 472 00:17:01,910 --> 00:17:00,639 know this is going to happen we somehow 473 00:17:06,789 --> 00:17:01,920 on some level 474 00:17:11,189 --> 00:17:08,870 now just to be clear from the 475 00:17:13,350 --> 00:17:11,199 perspective of scientific materialism 476 00:17:16,069 --> 00:17:13,360 which is the world view the paradigm 477 00:17:17,270 --> 00:17:16,079 that holds sway in western civilization 478 00:17:19,429 --> 00:17:17,280 today 479 00:17:21,829 --> 00:17:19,439 these kinds of events are virtually 480 00:17:23,750 --> 00:17:21,839 impossible to explain 481 00:17:26,150 --> 00:17:23,760 for instance with parapsychology and the 482 00:17:28,230 --> 00:17:26,160 kind of experiments i just described 483 00:17:30,230 --> 00:17:28,240 we're only supposed to be able to obtain 484 00:17:33,350 --> 00:17:30,240 information through our sensory 485 00:17:35,909 --> 00:17:33,360 apparati are hearing are seeing 486 00:17:37,430 --> 00:17:35,919 are smelling things like that and we 487 00:17:38,230 --> 00:17:37,440 should never be able to obtain 488 00:17:41,510 --> 00:17:38,240 information 489 00:17:46,870 --> 00:17:41,520 about the future that just doesn't jive 490 00:17:49,750 --> 00:17:46,880 with scientific materialism whatsoever 491 00:17:51,029 --> 00:17:49,760 now speaking of scientific materialism 492 00:17:53,990 --> 00:17:51,039 something else it really 493 00:17:54,950 --> 00:17:54,000 wrestles with trying to explain is 494 00:17:56,789 --> 00:17:54,960 consciousness 495 00:17:58,390 --> 00:17:56,799 which of course is probably the most 496 00:17:59,190 --> 00:17:58,400 important thing in the world you could 497 00:18:00,789 --> 00:17:59,200 argue 498 00:18:02,630 --> 00:18:00,799 if we weren't conscious if we didn't 499 00:18:03,350 --> 00:18:02,640 have awareness then we wouldn't be 500 00:18:06,390 --> 00:18:03,360 experiencing 501 00:18:08,390 --> 00:18:06,400 anything science wouldn't exist nothing 502 00:18:11,430 --> 00:18:08,400 would exist in terms of the endeavors we 503 00:18:13,510 --> 00:18:11,440 engage in to try and understand reality 504 00:18:14,870 --> 00:18:13,520 consciousness of course is essential to 505 00:18:16,470 --> 00:18:14,880 understand 506 00:18:18,710 --> 00:18:16,480 if we really want to claim that we 507 00:18:21,190 --> 00:18:18,720 understand reality at all 508 00:18:21,990 --> 00:18:21,200 and yet scientific materialism cannot 509 00:18:24,390 --> 00:18:22,000 explain 510 00:18:25,990 --> 00:18:24,400 consciousness you'll get a kind of 511 00:18:27,750 --> 00:18:26,000 promissory note that says 512 00:18:29,750 --> 00:18:27,760 one day we trust we'll be able to 513 00:18:30,549 --> 00:18:29,760 explain it through purely physical 514 00:18:34,230 --> 00:18:30,559 processes 515 00:18:36,310 --> 00:18:34,240 of a warm wet brain 516 00:18:37,830 --> 00:18:36,320 and yet that hasn't been the case so far 517 00:18:40,710 --> 00:18:37,840 in fact they're not even close 518 00:18:45,029 --> 00:18:40,720 there's really no working theory to try 519 00:18:50,310 --> 00:18:47,750 now very quickly i'd like to give you a 520 00:18:52,470 --> 00:18:50,320 picture of how reductive materialism 521 00:18:53,669 --> 00:18:52,480 thinks about reality i want you to 522 00:18:55,590 --> 00:18:53,679 picture a pyramid 523 00:18:57,430 --> 00:18:55,600 and on the root level of the pyramid the 524 00:19:00,310 --> 00:18:57,440 first layer you have 525 00:19:02,630 --> 00:19:00,320 physics just above there moving up in 526 00:19:05,430 --> 00:19:02,640 this pyramid you have chemistry 527 00:19:06,070 --> 00:19:05,440 then biology then psychology and then 528 00:19:08,870 --> 00:19:06,080 finally 529 00:19:10,870 --> 00:19:08,880 consciousness so from reductive 530 00:19:12,789 --> 00:19:10,880 materialism's point of view 531 00:19:14,150 --> 00:19:12,799 consciousness is merely an epi 532 00:19:16,710 --> 00:19:14,160 phenomenon that is 533 00:19:18,470 --> 00:19:16,720 a secondary effect or byproduct that 534 00:19:21,350 --> 00:19:18,480 arises from but does not 535 00:19:22,070 --> 00:19:21,360 causally influence a process in other 536 00:19:25,029 --> 00:19:22,080 words 537 00:19:26,470 --> 00:19:25,039 consciousness is merely a byproduct of a 538 00:19:29,510 --> 00:19:26,480 hot wet brain 539 00:19:32,549 --> 00:19:29,520 from a biological machine that's been 540 00:19:35,190 --> 00:19:32,559 put together by the sort of random 541 00:19:36,070 --> 00:19:35,200 firings of an evolutionary process 542 00:19:38,310 --> 00:19:36,080 that's the way that 543 00:19:39,990 --> 00:19:38,320 scientific materialism looks at the 544 00:19:42,549 --> 00:19:40,000 arising of consciousness 545 00:19:43,190 --> 00:19:42,559 that it's basically meaningless beyond 546 00:19:46,789 --> 00:19:43,200 that very 547 00:19:47,750 --> 00:19:46,799 limited role now what dean raiden would 548 00:19:50,150 --> 00:19:47,760 like to suggest 549 00:19:51,270 --> 00:19:50,160 is that the phenomena we see in 550 00:19:54,150 --> 00:19:51,280 parapsychology 551 00:19:55,909 --> 00:19:54,160 and quantum physics and such suggests 552 00:19:59,590 --> 00:19:55,919 that there is actually a layer 553 00:20:01,830 --> 00:19:59,600 below physics and while some people 554 00:20:03,909 --> 00:20:01,840 complain when they listen to raiden 555 00:20:06,390 --> 00:20:03,919 saying listen we'd have to rewrite 556 00:20:08,630 --> 00:20:06,400 all of the textbooks throughout history 557 00:20:11,029 --> 00:20:08,640 describing how reality works 558 00:20:11,909 --> 00:20:11,039 what raiden says is no we don't actually 559 00:20:14,710 --> 00:20:11,919 have to 560 00:20:15,190 --> 00:20:14,720 most of it's correct that what's amazing 561 00:20:17,750 --> 00:20:15,200 about 562 00:20:18,630 --> 00:20:17,760 science is that it has been remarkably 563 00:20:21,190 --> 00:20:18,640 capable 564 00:20:21,990 --> 00:20:21,200 of making predictions about reality that 565 00:20:24,470 --> 00:20:22,000 we can 566 00:20:26,630 --> 00:20:24,480 hold to that are trustworthy it's 567 00:20:28,630 --> 00:20:26,640 develop the modern world 568 00:20:29,830 --> 00:20:28,640 all he says we need to do is take 569 00:20:32,149 --> 00:20:29,840 consciousness 570 00:20:33,750 --> 00:20:32,159 which reductive materialism assumes is 571 00:20:36,070 --> 00:20:33,760 an epiphenomenon 572 00:20:38,149 --> 00:20:36,080 that arises at the top of the pyramid 573 00:20:40,789 --> 00:20:38,159 and put it at the very root 574 00:20:41,510 --> 00:20:40,799 if consciousness is primary and from 575 00:20:44,149 --> 00:20:41,520 there 576 00:20:46,870 --> 00:20:44,159 you have the arising of physics and then 577 00:20:50,070 --> 00:20:46,880 chemistry and then biology etc 578 00:20:51,750 --> 00:20:50,080 then everything makes sense in fact the 579 00:20:54,230 --> 00:20:51,760 very kind of phenomena we see 580 00:20:54,789 --> 00:20:54,240 in parapsychology quantum physics and 581 00:20:57,029 --> 00:20:54,799 even 582 00:20:58,630 --> 00:20:57,039 in the ufo phenomenon would be 583 00:21:01,270 --> 00:20:58,640 completely expected 584 00:21:04,789 --> 00:21:01,280 if this was actually how reality was 585 00:21:08,870 --> 00:21:06,630 so let's talk about some specific 586 00:21:10,149 --> 00:21:08,880 examples that describe how this vision 587 00:21:12,230 --> 00:21:10,159 of reality that 588 00:21:13,350 --> 00:21:12,240 people like raiden put forward where 589 00:21:15,990 --> 00:21:13,360 consciousness is 590 00:21:17,830 --> 00:21:16,000 primary and that below the physical 591 00:21:20,950 --> 00:21:17,840 structure of reality you have a more 592 00:21:22,710 --> 00:21:20,960 informational or symbolic aspect 593 00:21:24,390 --> 00:21:22,720 how that could actually give rise the 594 00:21:26,390 --> 00:21:24,400 phenomena we see 595 00:21:29,750 --> 00:21:26,400 in the ufo phenomenon and in 596 00:21:31,110 --> 00:21:29,760 parapsychology and in quantum physics 597 00:21:32,950 --> 00:21:31,120 let's start with something like 598 00:21:36,149 --> 00:21:32,960 psychokinesis which again 599 00:21:37,110 --> 00:21:36,159 is where mind impacts the physical world 600 00:21:39,510 --> 00:21:37,120 directly 601 00:21:41,750 --> 00:21:39,520 just by intending with our minds we 602 00:21:43,510 --> 00:21:41,760 somehow change the physical world 603 00:21:45,909 --> 00:21:43,520 for instance through spoon bending that 604 00:21:48,950 --> 00:21:45,919 would be an example 605 00:21:52,149 --> 00:21:48,960 now we know already with quantum physics 606 00:21:54,070 --> 00:21:52,159 that consciousness is what seemingly 607 00:21:56,549 --> 00:21:54,080 collapses the wave function 608 00:21:58,630 --> 00:21:56,559 that decides whether something ends up 609 00:21:59,909 --> 00:21:58,640 being a particle or a wave 610 00:22:01,990 --> 00:21:59,919 that before that it's just a 611 00:22:05,029 --> 00:22:02,000 potentiality of both 612 00:22:06,390 --> 00:22:05,039 but consciousness the intention of 613 00:22:09,270 --> 00:22:06,400 someone observing 614 00:22:10,470 --> 00:22:09,280 is what actually makes that become one 615 00:22:12,789 --> 00:22:10,480 or the other 616 00:22:14,470 --> 00:22:12,799 in other words consciousness is 617 00:22:16,470 --> 00:22:14,480 impacting reality 618 00:22:17,669 --> 00:22:16,480 is impacting physical reality well when 619 00:22:20,230 --> 00:22:17,679 you think about it 620 00:22:22,070 --> 00:22:20,240 that's exactly what psychokinesis is 621 00:22:23,029 --> 00:22:22,080 it's that same experiment that double 622 00:22:26,470 --> 00:22:23,039 slit experiment 623 00:22:27,190 --> 00:22:26,480 scaled up or somehow the intention of an 624 00:22:29,029 --> 00:22:27,200 observer 625 00:22:34,789 --> 00:22:29,039 consciousness itself is somehow 626 00:22:38,789 --> 00:22:37,430 now let's discuss another phenomena that 627 00:22:40,630 --> 00:22:38,799 would arise 628 00:22:42,390 --> 00:22:40,640 if really this is how reality is put 629 00:22:45,750 --> 00:22:42,400 together 630 00:22:48,870 --> 00:22:45,760 earlier on we talked about abductees 631 00:22:52,310 --> 00:22:48,880 contactees coming into contact with the 632 00:22:54,630 --> 00:22:52,320 others and learning about their future 633 00:22:55,350 --> 00:22:54,640 somehow these others know things about 634 00:22:57,669 --> 00:22:55,360 our future 635 00:22:58,950 --> 00:22:57,679 how can that be the case and it goes 636 00:23:01,909 --> 00:22:58,960 further than that 637 00:23:03,190 --> 00:23:01,919 sometimes people when they're in contact 638 00:23:05,110 --> 00:23:03,200 with these others they're in that 639 00:23:06,310 --> 00:23:05,120 alternate realm that alternate state of 640 00:23:08,950 --> 00:23:06,320 consciousness 641 00:23:09,590 --> 00:23:08,960 sometimes they just come into contact on 642 00:23:11,669 --> 00:23:09,600 their own 643 00:23:13,830 --> 00:23:11,679 with a larger sense of who they are 644 00:23:16,230 --> 00:23:13,840 including their future 645 00:23:17,990 --> 00:23:16,240 how could this be the case and even 646 00:23:19,430 --> 00:23:18,000 beyond that let's take it outside the 647 00:23:21,029 --> 00:23:19,440 ufo phenomenon 648 00:23:22,789 --> 00:23:21,039 even people who have near-death 649 00:23:24,630 --> 00:23:22,799 experiences report this 650 00:23:26,149 --> 00:23:24,640 they sometimes will know things about 651 00:23:29,510 --> 00:23:26,159 their future 652 00:23:32,149 --> 00:23:29,520 how is this the case well again 653 00:23:32,789 --> 00:23:32,159 if reality the one that we usually move 654 00:23:35,110 --> 00:23:32,799 through 655 00:23:36,149 --> 00:23:35,120 in our day-to-day lives in this 3d plus 656 00:23:38,870 --> 00:23:36,159 one world 657 00:23:40,070 --> 00:23:38,880 is actually a hologram then this gives 658 00:23:42,789 --> 00:23:40,080 us the illusion 659 00:23:45,350 --> 00:23:42,799 of the arrow of time meaning moving from 660 00:23:47,669 --> 00:23:45,360 past to present to future 661 00:23:49,990 --> 00:23:47,679 now an advanced non-human intelligence 662 00:23:52,870 --> 00:23:50,000 could look at the 663 00:23:54,789 --> 00:23:52,880 hologram from any angle any perspective 664 00:23:57,510 --> 00:23:54,799 and by looking at the hologram 665 00:23:58,950 --> 00:23:57,520 at different angles you see what to us 666 00:24:01,590 --> 00:23:58,960 would seem like our past 667 00:24:03,590 --> 00:24:01,600 present and future when you move through 668 00:24:06,149 --> 00:24:03,600 the hologram in a certain way 669 00:24:06,630 --> 00:24:06,159 a certain finite way you only get one 670 00:24:08,789 --> 00:24:06,640 image 671 00:24:10,789 --> 00:24:08,799 after another after another but if you 672 00:24:11,990 --> 00:24:10,799 see the hologram in its totality and you 673 00:24:13,669 --> 00:24:12,000 can 674 00:24:15,430 --> 00:24:13,679 navigate around it and see it from 675 00:24:17,669 --> 00:24:15,440 different angles then you're going to be 676 00:24:19,830 --> 00:24:17,679 able to access what we would consider 677 00:24:21,190 --> 00:24:19,840 the past the present or the future 678 00:24:23,190 --> 00:24:21,200 because again really 679 00:24:25,110 --> 00:24:23,200 it's all one thing it's just the way 680 00:24:26,950 --> 00:24:25,120 that we happen to 681 00:24:28,390 --> 00:24:26,960 navigate through that hologram that 682 00:24:30,390 --> 00:24:28,400 gives us the illusion 683 00:24:32,230 --> 00:24:30,400 of the arrow of time and of our 684 00:24:35,909 --> 00:24:32,240 experience of moving from the past to 685 00:24:39,590 --> 00:24:37,750 let's talk about another data point 686 00:24:41,590 --> 00:24:39,600 within the ufo phenomenon 687 00:24:42,789 --> 00:24:41,600 that makes almost zero sense from the 688 00:24:44,950 --> 00:24:42,799 perspective of 689 00:24:47,590 --> 00:24:44,960 mainstream science but that makes 690 00:24:50,630 --> 00:24:47,600 perfect sense when you see the reality 691 00:24:53,830 --> 00:24:50,640 where consciousness is primary 692 00:24:57,430 --> 00:24:53,840 and there's a substrate of informational 693 00:24:59,590 --> 00:24:57,440 symbolic kind of coding below the 694 00:25:02,950 --> 00:24:59,600 physical structure 695 00:25:05,190 --> 00:25:02,960 now astrophysicists balk at the idea 696 00:25:06,070 --> 00:25:05,200 that alien intelligences could be 697 00:25:07,990 --> 00:25:06,080 traveling 698 00:25:09,590 --> 00:25:08,000 the vast distances involved in 699 00:25:12,390 --> 00:25:09,600 interstellar travel 700 00:25:14,710 --> 00:25:12,400 they balk at that because even if you 701 00:25:17,269 --> 00:25:14,720 had spacecraft approaching the speed of 702 00:25:20,230 --> 00:25:17,279 light or even at the speed of light 703 00:25:21,029 --> 00:25:20,240 the time frames are so immense because 704 00:25:22,950 --> 00:25:21,039 again 705 00:25:24,789 --> 00:25:22,960 the distances involved are so 706 00:25:27,430 --> 00:25:24,799 astronomical the different 707 00:25:28,950 --> 00:25:27,440 galaxies and star systems are so far 708 00:25:31,909 --> 00:25:28,960 apart 709 00:25:34,549 --> 00:25:31,919 now if there's an informational symbolic 710 00:25:36,549 --> 00:25:34,559 aspect of reality below the physical 711 00:25:38,789 --> 00:25:36,559 and if consciousness especially if it's 712 00:25:41,510 --> 00:25:38,799 resonating at a high enough level 713 00:25:43,830 --> 00:25:41,520 is able to directly manipulate that 714 00:25:46,230 --> 00:25:43,840 quantum level of information 715 00:25:46,870 --> 00:25:46,240 then you could have a species that is 716 00:25:49,750 --> 00:25:46,880 able to 717 00:25:50,950 --> 00:25:49,760 almost instantaneously move from some 718 00:25:54,470 --> 00:25:50,960 distant galaxy 719 00:25:56,310 --> 00:25:54,480 to here because they are not using 720 00:25:57,990 --> 00:25:56,320 mass they are not actually moving 721 00:26:01,029 --> 00:25:58,000 physical spacecraft 722 00:26:03,190 --> 00:26:01,039 rather they are manipulating the quantum 723 00:26:05,590 --> 00:26:03,200 information the informational layer the 724 00:26:06,230 --> 00:26:05,600 coding layer of reality and in that 725 00:26:09,190 --> 00:26:06,240 sense 726 00:26:10,390 --> 00:26:09,200 they only manifest the mass of a 727 00:26:12,470 --> 00:26:10,400 spacecraft 728 00:26:14,310 --> 00:26:12,480 when they manifest in our physical 729 00:26:17,269 --> 00:26:14,320 reality here on the earth 730 00:26:18,630 --> 00:26:17,279 and in that sense suddenly that vast 731 00:26:22,470 --> 00:26:18,640 interstellar travel 732 00:26:26,149 --> 00:26:24,549 on previous podcast episodes i've 733 00:26:27,110 --> 00:26:26,159 discussed different stages of 734 00:26:29,510 --> 00:26:27,120 consciousness 735 00:26:30,549 --> 00:26:29,520 different developmental levels that both 736 00:26:33,430 --> 00:26:30,559 individuals 737 00:26:35,110 --> 00:26:33,440 and human societies go through and i 738 00:26:38,470 --> 00:26:35,120 also discussed how 739 00:26:41,430 --> 00:26:38,480 these stages all within the first tier 740 00:26:42,710 --> 00:26:41,440 tend to reject and completely want to 741 00:26:45,029 --> 00:26:42,720 supersede 742 00:26:46,549 --> 00:26:45,039 the paradigm the worldview they're 743 00:26:48,789 --> 00:26:46,559 replacing 744 00:26:50,070 --> 00:26:48,799 so when we had the scientific revolution 745 00:26:52,710 --> 00:26:50,080 as much as it was 746 00:26:54,549 --> 00:26:52,720 hugely beneficial to humankind and 747 00:26:56,390 --> 00:26:54,559 brought about the modern world we all 748 00:26:58,630 --> 00:26:56,400 exist in today where we have 749 00:26:59,750 --> 00:26:58,640 much longer lifespans where we have 750 00:27:02,310 --> 00:26:59,760 modern technology 751 00:27:03,510 --> 00:27:02,320 where we have much better healthcare 752 00:27:06,149 --> 00:27:03,520 nevertheless 753 00:27:07,110 --> 00:27:06,159 part of the casualty of that revolution 754 00:27:10,230 --> 00:27:07,120 was our loss 755 00:27:12,390 --> 00:27:10,240 of the information from distant lore 756 00:27:14,070 --> 00:27:12,400 all of our deep spiritual traditions 757 00:27:16,070 --> 00:27:14,080 were largely rejected by 758 00:27:17,510 --> 00:27:16,080 scientific materialism they were 759 00:27:20,149 --> 00:27:17,520 rejected as 760 00:27:21,029 --> 00:27:20,159 not referencing reality in any way 761 00:27:23,269 --> 00:27:21,039 whatsoever 762 00:27:24,870 --> 00:27:23,279 it was assumed that those traditions 763 00:27:25,510 --> 00:27:24,880 were working on a kind of magical 764 00:27:28,630 --> 00:27:25,520 thinking 765 00:27:30,389 --> 00:27:28,640 that wasn't based on reality 766 00:27:31,750 --> 00:27:30,399 yet what we're seeing and what we're 767 00:27:33,350 --> 00:27:31,760 describing today 768 00:27:35,190 --> 00:27:33,360 sounds a lot like some of what was 769 00:27:36,389 --> 00:27:35,200 described in some of those ancient 770 00:27:38,710 --> 00:27:36,399 traditions 771 00:27:41,590 --> 00:27:38,720 you think about the akashic records 772 00:27:44,549 --> 00:27:41,600 which is supposedly referring to some 773 00:27:44,870 --> 00:27:44,559 informational layer of reality that can 774 00:27:47,029 --> 00:27:44,880 be 775 00:27:48,870 --> 00:27:47,039 accessed through practices like 776 00:27:50,789 --> 00:27:48,880 meditation for instance 777 00:27:51,990 --> 00:27:50,799 now that sounds an awful lot like the 778 00:27:54,149 --> 00:27:52,000 informational layer 779 00:27:56,950 --> 00:27:54,159 at a quantum level that we're talking 780 00:28:01,190 --> 00:27:58,870 and this is a good reminder to each of 781 00:28:01,990 --> 00:28:01,200 us that when a new paradigm comes online 782 00:28:04,630 --> 00:28:02,000 when we discover 783 00:28:05,750 --> 00:28:04,640 new aspects of reality what we want to 784 00:28:08,470 --> 00:28:05,760 do ideally 785 00:28:09,669 --> 00:28:08,480 is transcend and include the previous 786 00:28:12,070 --> 00:28:09,679 paradigm 787 00:28:13,590 --> 00:28:12,080 the old truths don't suddenly become 788 00:28:15,909 --> 00:28:13,600 completely irrelevant 789 00:28:16,950 --> 00:28:15,919 it's more like a spiral that expands 790 00:28:19,110 --> 00:28:16,960 ever outward 791 00:28:21,510 --> 00:28:19,120 where we have more information but it 792 00:28:23,669 --> 00:28:21,520 still contains the previous information 793 00:28:24,549 --> 00:28:23,679 so transcend and include that's 794 00:28:26,870 --> 00:28:24,559 essential 795 00:28:30,389 --> 00:28:26,880 for us to have a more holistic view 796 00:28:31,669 --> 00:28:30,399 about reality 797 00:28:33,750 --> 00:28:31,679 and now i'd like to leave you with a 798 00:28:37,029 --> 00:28:33,760 couple of concluding thoughts 799 00:28:39,510 --> 00:28:37,039 first off let me offer this quote 800 00:28:40,149 --> 00:28:39,520 consciousness is a singular of which the 801 00:28:44,070 --> 00:28:40,159 plural 802 00:28:45,190 --> 00:28:44,080 is unknown i wonder who wrote that was 803 00:28:47,350 --> 00:28:45,200 it perhaps a poet 804 00:28:50,389 --> 00:28:47,360 was it perhaps a new age guru living in 805 00:28:52,549 --> 00:28:50,399 san francisco in the 1960s 806 00:28:53,510 --> 00:28:52,559 no in fact that is a quote from a man 807 00:28:57,669 --> 00:28:53,520 named erwin 808 00:29:00,230 --> 00:28:57,679 schrodinger who was a quantum physicist 809 00:29:00,870 --> 00:29:00,240 in fact he is known as one of the 810 00:29:04,070 --> 00:29:00,880 fathers 811 00:29:09,669 --> 00:29:06,630 you see schrodinger who was one of the 812 00:29:12,950 --> 00:29:09,679 pioneers of the very quantum experiments 813 00:29:13,909 --> 00:29:12,960 that i discussed earlier understood the 814 00:29:17,190 --> 00:29:13,919 implication 815 00:29:19,190 --> 00:29:17,200 he understood that consciousness must be 816 00:29:19,669 --> 00:29:19,200 primary that's the only way to make 817 00:29:22,710 --> 00:29:19,679 sense 818 00:29:23,350 --> 00:29:22,720 of the data now the quote i offered 819 00:29:26,310 --> 00:29:23,360 earlier 820 00:29:26,870 --> 00:29:26,320 was partial the full quote goes like 821 00:29:29,830 --> 00:29:26,880 this 822 00:29:32,070 --> 00:29:29,840 quote consciousness is a singular of 823 00:29:34,389 --> 00:29:32,080 which the plural is unknown 824 00:29:35,990 --> 00:29:34,399 there is only one thing and that which 825 00:29:38,710 --> 00:29:36,000 seems to be plurality 826 00:29:40,230 --> 00:29:38,720 is merely a series of different aspects 827 00:29:43,510 --> 00:29:40,240 of this one thing 828 00:29:46,950 --> 00:29:43,520 produced by a deception the indian maya 829 00:29:49,510 --> 00:29:46,960 as in a gallery of mirrors unquote 830 00:29:51,190 --> 00:29:49,520 so interestingly here schrodinger is 831 00:29:52,950 --> 00:29:51,200 referring to one of these ancient 832 00:29:55,350 --> 00:29:52,960 spiritual traditions 833 00:29:56,950 --> 00:29:55,360 and saying that whenever we have duality 834 00:29:57,750 --> 00:29:56,960 whenever we think we're separate from 835 00:30:00,950 --> 00:29:57,760 each other 836 00:30:03,510 --> 00:30:00,960 or from grey aliens or anything else we 837 00:30:04,149 --> 00:30:03,520 are deluded that actually everything is 838 00:30:08,950 --> 00:30:04,159 one 839 00:30:11,110 --> 00:30:08,960 and consciousness is primary 840 00:30:12,789 --> 00:30:11,120 and this revelation sheds light on the 841 00:30:15,269 --> 00:30:12,799 reason why i assume 842 00:30:15,909 --> 00:30:15,279 highly advanced alien species in our 843 00:30:17,830 --> 00:30:15,919 midst 844 00:30:19,669 --> 00:30:17,840 will be coming in a spirit of 845 00:30:22,549 --> 00:30:19,679 brotherhood sisterhood 846 00:30:23,350 --> 00:30:22,559 cooperation peace because they would 847 00:30:26,230 --> 00:30:23,360 recognize 848 00:30:26,549 --> 00:30:26,240 much more than we simple primitives do 849 00:30:31,190 --> 00:30:26,559 that 850 00:30:33,909 --> 00:30:31,200 separate one entity from another 851 00:30:35,990 --> 00:30:33,919 to hurt another entity another species 852 00:30:38,310 --> 00:30:36,000 is to ultimately hurt yourself 853 00:30:39,190 --> 00:30:38,320 because all that ultimately exists is 854
