1 00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:08,070 [Music] 2 00:00:14,070 --> 00:00:11,669 hello and welcome to episode number 52 3 00:00:18,790 --> 00:00:14,080 of the point of convergence podcast 4 00:00:20,870 --> 00:00:18,800 as always i am your host exo academian 5 00:00:23,830 --> 00:00:20,880 as we approach the one year anniversary 6 00:00:25,990 --> 00:00:23,840 of this podcast now only days away 7 00:00:27,830 --> 00:00:26,000 it's useful to stop and reflect on the 8 00:00:30,070 --> 00:00:27,840 sheer wealth of the diverse and 9 00:00:32,389 --> 00:00:30,080 captivating material we've covered 10 00:00:34,950 --> 00:00:32,399 during the past 12 months 11 00:00:37,830 --> 00:00:34,960 over the past 50 plus episodes we've 12 00:00:39,430 --> 00:00:37,840 pivoted between a micro and a macro view 13 00:00:41,830 --> 00:00:39,440 of this phenomenon 14 00:00:44,310 --> 00:00:41,840 discussing the mind-boggling details of 15 00:00:47,430 --> 00:00:44,320 individual encounters with these beings 16 00:00:49,590 --> 00:00:47,440 perhaps best described as the others 17 00:00:52,310 --> 00:00:49,600 while also examining the overarching 18 00:00:54,310 --> 00:00:52,320 trends and common data points observed 19 00:00:55,990 --> 00:00:54,320 as we've endeavored to piece together a 20 00:00:59,270 --> 00:00:56,000 meaningful narrative to help us 21 00:01:01,430 --> 00:00:59,280 understand at least in part the totality 22 00:01:03,670 --> 00:01:01,440 of what is going on 23 00:01:05,670 --> 00:01:03,680 and during these last 12 months while 24 00:01:07,830 --> 00:01:05,680 we've been busy perusing the so-called 25 00:01:10,230 --> 00:01:07,840 experiencer literature that has grown 26 00:01:11,350 --> 00:01:10,240 into an enormous volume of data over the 27 00:01:13,830 --> 00:01:11,360 decades 28 00:01:16,390 --> 00:01:13,840 we've seen out of the corner of our eye 29 00:01:19,429 --> 00:01:16,400 as it were that this topic commonly 30 00:01:21,749 --> 00:01:19,439 referred to as the ufo phenomenon has 31 00:01:23,350 --> 00:01:21,759 even begun to finally pierce the veil of 32 00:01:25,830 --> 00:01:23,360 the mainstream 33 00:01:29,109 --> 00:01:25,840 indeed in recent weeks we've seen the 34 00:01:31,830 --> 00:01:29,119 momentum that began in 2017 with a 35 00:01:33,270 --> 00:01:31,840 remarkable piece in the new york times 36 00:01:35,429 --> 00:01:33,280 culminate in the passing of 37 00:01:37,350 --> 00:01:35,439 congressional amendments that are poised 38 00:01:40,870 --> 00:01:37,360 to create an officially sanctioned 39 00:01:43,429 --> 00:01:40,880 office to gather process and collate 40 00:01:47,429 --> 00:01:43,439 information pertaining specifically to 41 00:01:48,789 --> 00:01:47,439 uap unidentified aerial phenomena aka 42 00:01:50,870 --> 00:01:48,799 ufos 43 00:01:53,830 --> 00:01:50,880 but our journey together has been about 44 00:01:56,630 --> 00:01:53,840 much more than an investigation of the 45 00:01:59,190 --> 00:01:56,640 strange and sophisticated craft buzzing 46 00:02:01,830 --> 00:01:59,200 in and around our skies 47 00:02:04,389 --> 00:02:01,840 we've also traced a point of convergence 48 00:02:07,030 --> 00:02:04,399 if you will where capacities that exist 49 00:02:10,389 --> 00:02:07,040 along the so-called psi spectrum seem to 50 00:02:12,309 --> 00:02:10,399 overlap with the data belonging to ufos 51 00:02:14,790 --> 00:02:12,319 and aliens 52 00:02:17,190 --> 00:02:14,800 fascinatingly not only do these others 53 00:02:19,670 --> 00:02:17,200 these non-human intelligences seem to 54 00:02:21,510 --> 00:02:19,680 demonstrate a startling capacity for 55 00:02:24,150 --> 00:02:21,520 abilities such as telepathy 56 00:02:26,869 --> 00:02:24,160 psychokinesis and clairvoyance 57 00:02:29,430 --> 00:02:26,879 but so too do human beings suggesting 58 00:02:31,750 --> 00:02:29,440 perhaps our connection to them is closer 59 00:02:34,229 --> 00:02:31,760 than many of us have first imagined 60 00:02:37,110 --> 00:02:34,239 indeed other non-conventional human 61 00:02:38,869 --> 00:02:37,120 experiences reported across time here we 62 00:02:41,030 --> 00:02:38,879 speak of events such as out-of-body 63 00:02:44,550 --> 00:02:41,040 experiences near-death experiences 64 00:02:45,990 --> 00:02:44,560 subtle state sensing and astral travel 65 00:02:48,790 --> 00:02:46,000 also seem to meet at a point of 66 00:02:51,750 --> 00:02:48,800 convergence with data usually squarely 67 00:02:54,150 --> 00:02:51,760 bookmarked within the ufo phenomenon and 68 00:02:55,910 --> 00:02:54,160 we've discussed how in total this 69 00:02:58,229 --> 00:02:55,920 remarkably illuminating point of 70 00:03:00,630 --> 00:02:58,239 convergence seems to be suggesting 71 00:03:02,710 --> 00:03:00,640 something fundamental about ultimate 72 00:03:05,589 --> 00:03:02,720 reality itself 73 00:03:07,910 --> 00:03:05,599 laying bare the evidently central role 74 00:03:11,190 --> 00:03:07,920 the capital c consciousness seems to 75 00:03:13,110 --> 00:03:11,200 play as the bedrock of all that is 76 00:03:15,750 --> 00:03:13,120 serving as a substrate that not only 77 00:03:18,309 --> 00:03:15,760 gives rise to secondary phenomena such 78 00:03:20,869 --> 00:03:18,319 as matter and energy but that seems to 79 00:03:23,990 --> 00:03:20,879 connect everything and everyone in the 80 00:03:26,550 --> 00:03:24,000 cosmos which is perhaps best described 81 00:03:29,350 --> 00:03:26,560 as a multi-dimensional multiverse 82 00:03:31,110 --> 00:03:29,360 potentially teeming with life 83 00:03:33,030 --> 00:03:31,120 as we've tracked this trajectory that 84 00:03:35,030 --> 00:03:33,040 has i'm sure you'll agree 85 00:03:37,589 --> 00:03:35,040 proven to be at times as equally 86 00:03:39,990 --> 00:03:37,599 baffling and bewildering as it has been 87 00:03:42,070 --> 00:03:40,000 bewitching and transfixing 88 00:03:44,869 --> 00:03:42,080 no doubt questions have arisen in the 89 00:03:46,710 --> 00:03:44,879 minds of you the audience and that's 90 00:03:48,949 --> 00:03:46,720 probably true whether you hopped on this 91 00:03:51,110 --> 00:03:48,959 train at the first stop around this time 92 00:03:53,190 --> 00:03:51,120 last year or whether you've jumped on 93 00:03:54,470 --> 00:03:53,200 board on one of our more recent episode 94 00:03:57,110 --> 00:03:54,480 stops 95 00:03:59,030 --> 00:03:57,120 either way now seems like an apt time to 96 00:04:01,509 --> 00:03:59,040 explore some of these questions in the 97 00:04:04,070 --> 00:04:01,519 second edition of a feature titled the 98 00:04:05,750 --> 00:04:04,080 inquiring mind where i engage with some 99 00:04:08,789 --> 00:04:05,760 of the thoughtful and insightful 100 00:04:11,190 --> 00:04:08,799 questions you the audience have sent in 101 00:04:13,670 --> 00:04:11,200 over the last couple of months 102 00:04:15,270 --> 00:04:13,680 and so now without further ado let's 103 00:04:17,590 --> 00:04:15,280 jump into these thought-provoking 104 00:04:18,550 --> 00:04:17,600 questions as part of this inquiring mind 105 00:04:19,590 --> 00:04:18,560 feature 106 00:04:21,830 --> 00:04:19,600 in this 107 00:04:25,310 --> 00:04:21,840 the 52nd episode of the point of 108 00:04:28,710 --> 00:04:25,320 convergence podcast 109 00:04:30,550 --> 00:04:28,720 [Music] 110 00:04:33,270 --> 00:04:30,560 all right let's jump right in question 111 00:04:35,430 --> 00:04:33,280 number one is worded as follows 112 00:04:37,749 --> 00:04:35,440 congratulations on 50 quite an 113 00:04:39,030 --> 00:04:37,759 accomplishment all high quality episodes 114 00:04:41,030 --> 00:04:39,040 too 115 00:04:43,270 --> 00:04:41,040 bear in mind that the aliens themselves 116 00:04:46,469 --> 00:04:43,280 have emerged science that deals with all 117 00:04:48,870 --> 00:04:46,479 phenomena so we know it's possible 118 00:04:51,030 --> 00:04:48,880 also abductees tell us that the graves 119 00:04:52,710 --> 00:04:51,040 say we must pay closer attention to our 120 00:04:54,790 --> 00:04:52,720 spiritual side 121 00:04:57,510 --> 00:04:54,800 as usual they seem to know a lot more 122 00:04:59,830 --> 00:04:57,520 than we do during the next year i would 123 00:05:01,909 --> 00:04:59,840 ask you and other thinkers on this topic 124 00:05:04,230 --> 00:05:01,919 to consider more closely the role that 125 00:05:06,469 --> 00:05:04,240 the visitors themselves are playing in 126 00:05:08,150 --> 00:05:06,479 quote-unquote disclosure 127 00:05:10,230 --> 00:05:08,160 we talk about the role of governments 128 00:05:12,550 --> 00:05:10,240 and of ufologists but never of the 129 00:05:13,670 --> 00:05:12,560 visitors are they in communication with 130 00:05:15,510 --> 00:05:13,680 governments 131 00:05:16,710 --> 00:05:15,520 are there agreements that permit 132 00:05:18,230 --> 00:05:16,720 abduction 133 00:05:21,110 --> 00:05:18,240 are government efforts to limit 134 00:05:23,590 --> 00:05:21,120 disclosure mandated by the visitors 135 00:05:25,110 --> 00:05:23,600 are some of the players actually aliens 136 00:05:28,710 --> 00:05:25,120 rather than humans 137 00:05:30,469 --> 00:05:28,720 for instance the mib the men in black 138 00:05:32,230 --> 00:05:30,479 alright so this is a great question and 139 00:05:33,830 --> 00:05:32,240 there's a lot to it so let's take it 140 00:05:36,310 --> 00:05:33,840 piece by piece 141 00:05:37,670 --> 00:05:36,320 now first of all in terms of the grays 142 00:05:39,749 --> 00:05:37,680 telling us we should pay closer 143 00:05:42,230 --> 00:05:39,759 attention to our spiritual side 144 00:05:44,150 --> 00:05:42,240 yes indeed that's certainly attested to 145 00:05:45,909 --> 00:05:44,160 in much of the literature again while 146 00:05:47,909 --> 00:05:45,919 some people have negative experiences 147 00:05:49,990 --> 00:05:47,919 with the graves there are many many that 148 00:05:51,189 --> 00:05:50,000 have either positive or neutral 149 00:05:53,110 --> 00:05:51,199 experiences 150 00:05:56,390 --> 00:05:53,120 and yes those who have had positive 151 00:05:58,550 --> 00:05:56,400 experiences often discuss that the greys 152 00:06:00,790 --> 00:05:58,560 try to point them towards some deeper 153 00:06:02,550 --> 00:06:00,800 understanding of the meaning of life 154 00:06:05,110 --> 00:06:02,560 even of a life that stretches over 155 00:06:08,070 --> 00:06:05,120 multiple lifetimes as we've talked about 156 00:06:10,550 --> 00:06:08,080 before people like susie hansen have 157 00:06:12,710 --> 00:06:10,560 discussed in their encounters coming to 158 00:06:15,590 --> 00:06:12,720 recognize that they actually have a dual 159 00:06:17,270 --> 00:06:15,600 human and gray identity again this is 160 00:06:20,070 --> 00:06:17,280 where this information gets really 161 00:06:21,909 --> 00:06:20,080 complex but really interesting and 162 00:06:23,749 --> 00:06:21,919 people like susie hansen have pointed 163 00:06:25,990 --> 00:06:23,759 out that when they're in the presence of 164 00:06:27,830 --> 00:06:26,000 these others they're reminded that they 165 00:06:30,629 --> 00:06:27,840 signed up for this that they came into 166 00:06:32,870 --> 00:06:30,639 this lifetime as a human being to play a 167 00:06:34,870 --> 00:06:32,880 role to move everything forward to 168 00:06:37,110 --> 00:06:34,880 mature their own energy as well as to 169 00:06:38,870 --> 00:06:37,120 work in service towards the evolution of 170 00:06:41,110 --> 00:06:38,880 the entire planet and all of the 171 00:06:42,790 --> 00:06:41,120 consciousnesses here now again i'm not 172 00:06:45,430 --> 00:06:42,800 suggesting that all people have these 173 00:06:47,590 --> 00:06:45,440 experiences with the graves but many do 174 00:06:49,350 --> 00:06:47,600 and susie hansen's case is particularly 175 00:06:51,270 --> 00:06:49,360 interesting and we did discuss this in 176 00:06:53,510 --> 00:06:51,280 one of our first episodes 177 00:06:55,110 --> 00:06:53,520 because she has so much recall about 178 00:06:57,430 --> 00:06:55,120 these encounters with the graves that 179 00:06:59,830 --> 00:06:57,440 have been happening her entire lifetime 180 00:07:03,029 --> 00:06:59,840 and as i discussed in that episode even 181 00:07:05,589 --> 00:07:03,039 goes back before this lifetime for her 182 00:07:07,670 --> 00:07:05,599 secondly this person asks about the role 183 00:07:09,670 --> 00:07:07,680 that the visitors or the others may be 184 00:07:12,469 --> 00:07:09,680 playing in disclosure that we shouldn't 185 00:07:13,909 --> 00:07:12,479 limit the discussion to just ufologists 186 00:07:16,629 --> 00:07:13,919 and governments 187 00:07:18,950 --> 00:07:16,639 i wholeheartedly agree here in fact i 188 00:07:21,749 --> 00:07:18,960 think that the biggest player in this 189 00:07:23,670 --> 00:07:21,759 entire question is the visitors now 190 00:07:25,670 --> 00:07:23,680 what's interesting is recently when i 191 00:07:27,670 --> 00:07:25,680 spoke with ross coulthart the australian 192 00:07:30,629 --> 00:07:27,680 investigative journalist who's covered 193 00:07:32,790 --> 00:07:30,639 the ufo phenomenon in great detail 194 00:07:34,950 --> 00:07:32,800 he talked about this sense that the 195 00:07:37,589 --> 00:07:34,960 intelligence behind the phenomenon may 196 00:07:40,469 --> 00:07:37,599 be pushing the envelope especially of 197 00:07:42,710 --> 00:07:40,479 late he talked about how strike groups 198 00:07:45,909 --> 00:07:42,720 out in the oceans are encountering 199 00:07:49,189 --> 00:07:45,919 sometimes 50 of these vehicles a day 50 200 00:07:51,430 --> 00:07:49,199 of these uap slash ufos a day and 201 00:07:53,350 --> 00:07:51,440 furthermore that the types of vehicles 202 00:07:55,830 --> 00:07:53,360 that are showing up continue to increase 203 00:07:57,909 --> 00:07:55,840 as well so greater numbers of 204 00:07:59,430 --> 00:07:57,919 appearances and a greater number of 205 00:08:01,110 --> 00:07:59,440 different types 206 00:08:03,510 --> 00:08:01,120 and so there's this sense amongst the 207 00:08:06,150 --> 00:08:03,520 military brass anyway that the 208 00:08:08,469 --> 00:08:06,160 phenomenon may be ramping things up with 209 00:08:10,710 --> 00:08:08,479 the intention that disclosure must 210 00:08:12,230 --> 00:08:10,720 happen soon because they are the ones 211 00:08:13,270 --> 00:08:12,240 who are going to be driving this 212 00:08:15,909 --> 00:08:13,280 narrative 213 00:08:17,749 --> 00:08:15,919 the concern amongst the secret keepers 214 00:08:19,749 --> 00:08:17,759 is that the others are going to make 215 00:08:22,230 --> 00:08:19,759 their presence known in some plain as 216 00:08:24,950 --> 00:08:22,240 they way and then the secrets will be 217 00:08:27,990 --> 00:08:24,960 irrelevant because everyone will know 218 00:08:31,029 --> 00:08:28,000 that we are in contact and communication 219 00:08:32,469 --> 00:08:31,039 and ongoing interaction with non-human 220 00:08:34,870 --> 00:08:32,479 intelligences 221 00:08:36,949 --> 00:08:34,880 now the question goes on to ask is it 222 00:08:39,029 --> 00:08:36,959 possible that we have agreements or our 223 00:08:41,909 --> 00:08:39,039 governments have agreements with some of 224 00:08:44,230 --> 00:08:41,919 these others that permits abduction that 225 00:08:46,230 --> 00:08:44,240 basically the governments of the world 226 00:08:48,949 --> 00:08:46,240 will look the other way while these 227 00:08:51,030 --> 00:08:48,959 others supposedly abduct human beings 228 00:08:52,949 --> 00:08:51,040 conducting experiments gathering genetic 229 00:08:54,550 --> 00:08:52,959 material what have you 230 00:08:56,870 --> 00:08:54,560 and i should add here by the way that 231 00:08:59,110 --> 00:08:56,880 for the most part this is discussing the 232 00:09:01,269 --> 00:08:59,120 us government not all governments but 233 00:09:03,030 --> 00:09:01,279 particularly the u.s government 234 00:09:05,670 --> 00:09:03,040 and supposedly this happened this 235 00:09:08,550 --> 00:09:05,680 agreement this treaty that was signed 236 00:09:10,230 --> 00:09:08,560 under the eisenhower administration now 237 00:09:13,110 --> 00:09:10,240 i would say take this with a grain of 238 00:09:15,030 --> 00:09:13,120 salt or two or three because again it's 239 00:09:17,509 --> 00:09:15,040 hard to get any kind of credible 240 00:09:19,670 --> 00:09:17,519 confirmation of these details but the 241 00:09:21,430 --> 00:09:19,680 way the story goes anyway is that a 242 00:09:23,430 --> 00:09:21,440 treaty was signed that basically stated 243 00:09:25,430 --> 00:09:23,440 that we would not interfere in their 244 00:09:26,389 --> 00:09:25,440 affairs and they would not interfere in 245 00:09:28,310 --> 00:09:26,399 ours 246 00:09:30,790 --> 00:09:28,320 that basically in exchange for them 247 00:09:32,790 --> 00:09:30,800 providing us with technology that was 248 00:09:35,190 --> 00:09:32,800 next-gen technology far beyond what 249 00:09:36,710 --> 00:09:35,200 humans had at the current moment 250 00:09:38,949 --> 00:09:36,720 they would be able to 251 00:09:40,470 --> 00:09:38,959 abduct human beings while the government 252 00:09:42,150 --> 00:09:40,480 looked the other way 253 00:09:43,910 --> 00:09:42,160 now the agreement was human beings would 254 00:09:45,670 --> 00:09:43,920 be put back in their homes or back in 255 00:09:47,269 --> 00:09:45,680 their cars as has been the case 256 00:09:49,590 --> 00:09:47,279 according to the literature they would 257 00:09:51,670 --> 00:09:49,600 not be harmed but that the aliens would 258 00:09:53,829 --> 00:09:51,680 have free reign to do this as they 259 00:09:56,150 --> 00:09:53,839 needed as part of their experiments and 260 00:09:59,030 --> 00:09:56,160 again in exchange the us government 261 00:10:00,710 --> 00:09:59,040 would receive advanced technology 262 00:10:02,470 --> 00:10:00,720 now again for the most part this was 263 00:10:05,110 --> 00:10:02,480 described as a generally friendly 264 00:10:06,870 --> 00:10:05,120 exchange and there was even kind of an 265 00:10:09,910 --> 00:10:06,880 arrangement where each side would 266 00:10:11,590 --> 00:10:09,920 exchange 16 personnel so that each side 267 00:10:13,590 --> 00:10:11,600 could learn about each other kind of 268 00:10:16,069 --> 00:10:13,600 like a diplomatic envoy 269 00:10:18,550 --> 00:10:16,079 now how would we confirm these kind of 270 00:10:21,190 --> 00:10:18,560 details there have been some who've 271 00:10:22,389 --> 00:10:21,200 suggested that various technologies such 272 00:10:24,230 --> 00:10:22,399 as those that allowed for the 273 00:10:25,910 --> 00:10:24,240 development of the stealth fighter 274 00:10:28,710 --> 00:10:25,920 basically had their roots in this 275 00:10:31,030 --> 00:10:28,720 technology that was provided by these 276 00:10:32,870 --> 00:10:31,040 alien others it's really difficult to 277 00:10:35,590 --> 00:10:32,880 know either way certainly the stealth 278 00:10:37,350 --> 00:10:35,600 technology that we now use in our jets 279 00:10:39,269 --> 00:10:37,360 was next gen especially when you think 280 00:10:41,750 --> 00:10:39,279 about when it was first being used back 281 00:10:43,910 --> 00:10:41,760 in the 70s and 80s but it's hard to say 282 00:10:45,190 --> 00:10:43,920 that that technology didn't arise 283 00:10:46,949 --> 00:10:45,200 naturally 284 00:10:49,750 --> 00:10:46,959 in fact in terms of each of the 285 00:10:52,790 --> 00:10:49,760 technologies supposedly ascribed to 286 00:10:54,630 --> 00:10:52,800 these others one could argue that the 287 00:10:56,710 --> 00:10:54,640 seeds of these different technologies 288 00:10:59,190 --> 00:10:56,720 already existed amongst humankind and 289 00:11:01,430 --> 00:10:59,200 therefore it's difficult to say for sure 290 00:11:03,590 --> 00:11:01,440 that such technologies must have come 291 00:11:04,870 --> 00:11:03,600 from an alien species and alien 292 00:11:06,710 --> 00:11:04,880 intelligence 293 00:11:09,030 --> 00:11:06,720 again i've heard arguments on both sides 294 00:11:11,350 --> 00:11:09,040 of this equation i'm not convinced 295 00:11:12,790 --> 00:11:11,360 either way i think it's possible that 296 00:11:15,110 --> 00:11:12,800 there was some sort of agreement and 297 00:11:16,790 --> 00:11:15,120 that there was an exchange of technology 298 00:11:18,949 --> 00:11:16,800 but again it's hard to say with 299 00:11:20,949 --> 00:11:18,959 certainty either way 300 00:11:23,430 --> 00:11:20,959 now in regards to the aspect where the 301 00:11:26,150 --> 00:11:23,440 government in exchange agreed that these 302 00:11:27,509 --> 00:11:26,160 others could abduct people abduct 303 00:11:29,750 --> 00:11:27,519 citizens 304 00:11:31,910 --> 00:11:29,760 that's a little difficult to swallow for 305 00:11:34,230 --> 00:11:31,920 me because the truth is 306 00:11:35,750 --> 00:11:34,240 what other option do we have 307 00:11:37,990 --> 00:11:35,760 are we really in a position where we 308 00:11:40,310 --> 00:11:38,000 could stop them or even put up a fight 309 00:11:42,630 --> 00:11:40,320 if they wanted to abduct citizens 310 00:11:44,389 --> 00:11:42,640 i'm not convinced we could when you 311 00:11:47,110 --> 00:11:44,399 think about the degree of consciousness 312 00:11:49,590 --> 00:11:47,120 and perception control that these others 313 00:11:51,829 --> 00:11:49,600 wield over human beings it's not clear 314 00:11:53,910 --> 00:11:51,839 at all that we could do anything about 315 00:11:55,670 --> 00:11:53,920 it even if we wanted to 316 00:11:57,430 --> 00:11:55,680 i think what's more likely is that the 317 00:11:59,030 --> 00:11:57,440 government knows it's going on at least 318 00:12:01,110 --> 00:11:59,040 some elements of the government know 319 00:12:03,030 --> 00:12:01,120 that abductions are going on 320 00:12:05,110 --> 00:12:03,040 but the truth is because they know they 321 00:12:07,110 --> 00:12:05,120 can't do anything about it they just 322 00:12:09,350 --> 00:12:07,120 don't talk about it not because there's 323 00:12:12,470 --> 00:12:09,360 some secret agreement but because they 324 00:12:15,030 --> 00:12:12,480 don't want to seem so impotent in front 325 00:12:16,790 --> 00:12:15,040 of the public were this to come out 326 00:12:18,790 --> 00:12:16,800 because again even if they wanted to 327 00:12:21,269 --> 00:12:18,800 there's perhaps nothing they can do to 328 00:12:22,550 --> 00:12:21,279 stop this and if people knew about it 329 00:12:24,790 --> 00:12:22,560 and they knew that the government 330 00:12:27,990 --> 00:12:24,800 couldn't prevent it basically that could 331 00:12:30,550 --> 00:12:28,000 very likely produce a mass panic 332 00:12:33,430 --> 00:12:30,560 so all that is to say do the others play 333 00:12:35,269 --> 00:12:33,440 a major role in disclosure absolutely i 334 00:12:37,430 --> 00:12:35,279 agree they do in fact i think they play 335 00:12:38,949 --> 00:12:37,440 the chief role and in fact evidence 336 00:12:41,190 --> 00:12:38,959 suggests they may be pushing the 337 00:12:43,190 --> 00:12:41,200 envelope even as we speak 338 00:12:45,190 --> 00:12:43,200 but in terms of some historic agreement 339 00:12:47,350 --> 00:12:45,200 between a government or several 340 00:12:49,350 --> 00:12:47,360 governments and these others 341 00:12:51,590 --> 00:12:49,360 while i think it's possible i don't 342 00:12:54,150 --> 00:12:51,600 think it's likely that those agreements 343 00:12:56,710 --> 00:12:54,160 have driven the course of history over 344 00:12:58,629 --> 00:12:56,720 the last several decades as some people 345 00:13:01,269 --> 00:12:58,639 seem to suggest 346 00:13:03,829 --> 00:13:01,279 all right time for question number two 347 00:13:06,150 --> 00:13:03,839 which is worded as follows 348 00:13:08,790 --> 00:13:06,160 i recently saw a segment on skinwalker 349 00:13:11,430 --> 00:13:08,800 ranch and i was thinking that any highly 350 00:13:14,069 --> 00:13:11,440 advanced civilization would be aware of 351 00:13:16,870 --> 00:13:14,079 a crew of humans trying to research them 352 00:13:18,790 --> 00:13:16,880 and their actions and what they're up to 353 00:13:21,030 --> 00:13:18,800 assuming that a civilization far 354 00:13:22,949 --> 00:13:21,040 advanced beyond ours would be able to 355 00:13:25,750 --> 00:13:22,959 thwart our attempts at investigating 356 00:13:27,430 --> 00:13:25,760 their activity on our planet isn't it 357 00:13:29,750 --> 00:13:27,440 reasonable to assume that they would 358 00:13:31,590 --> 00:13:29,760 purposefully make it difficult for us to 359 00:13:32,710 --> 00:13:31,600 collect reliable data about their 360 00:13:35,509 --> 00:13:32,720 activity 361 00:13:37,350 --> 00:13:35,519 as seen at places like skinwalker ranch 362 00:13:39,509 --> 00:13:37,360 they seem to be throwing a wrench in the 363 00:13:41,509 --> 00:13:39,519 gears of our research and possibly 364 00:13:43,990 --> 00:13:41,519 intentionally projecting false 365 00:13:45,990 --> 00:13:44,000 information and fake phenomena to 366 00:13:48,470 --> 00:13:46,000 intermingle it all so that it's 367 00:13:50,230 --> 00:13:48,480 impossible to discern which activity is 368 00:13:52,389 --> 00:13:50,240 truly theirs 369 00:13:54,710 --> 00:13:52,399 so that's a great and insightful 370 00:13:57,030 --> 00:13:54,720 question and my short answer is it's 371 00:13:59,269 --> 00:13:57,040 certainly a possibility that's one way 372 00:14:01,910 --> 00:13:59,279 you could make sense of the data that 373 00:14:05,110 --> 00:14:01,920 perhaps there's some vast sophisticated 374 00:14:06,949 --> 00:14:05,120 intelligence that has at its disposal 375 00:14:10,150 --> 00:14:06,959 these various phenomena that it can 376 00:14:12,230 --> 00:14:10,160 basically manifest which confuses us 377 00:14:14,949 --> 00:14:12,240 making us think perhaps there's many 378 00:14:17,350 --> 00:14:14,959 different intelligences or entities 379 00:14:19,670 --> 00:14:17,360 present on the ranch and effectively 380 00:14:22,310 --> 00:14:19,680 scuttle our ability to be able to draw 381 00:14:24,550 --> 00:14:22,320 conclusions or make any headway in our 382 00:14:26,790 --> 00:14:24,560 research perhaps even to the point where 383 00:14:29,509 --> 00:14:26,800 we become so frustrated that we give up 384 00:14:31,189 --> 00:14:29,519 or run out of money in the meantime 385 00:14:33,509 --> 00:14:31,199 and just to be clear here we're talking 386 00:14:35,350 --> 00:14:33,519 about sophisticated scientific 387 00:14:38,550 --> 00:14:35,360 expeditions that were present on the 388 00:14:40,949 --> 00:14:38,560 ranch trying to gather data hard data 389 00:14:43,110 --> 00:14:40,959 with sensor systems and whatnot to draw 390 00:14:45,189 --> 00:14:43,120 conclusions about what's going on there 391 00:14:47,189 --> 00:14:45,199 and also to be able to convince others 392 00:14:49,750 --> 00:14:47,199 who are more skeptical that something 393 00:14:52,069 --> 00:14:49,760 anomalous really is going on this 394 00:14:54,710 --> 00:14:52,079 happened of course under robert bigelow 395 00:14:57,750 --> 00:14:54,720 and this happened more recently with the 396 00:14:59,910 --> 00:14:57,760 group being funded by brandon fugle 397 00:15:01,430 --> 00:14:59,920 now speaking of these various teams we 398 00:15:03,590 --> 00:15:01,440 should remember that a big part of 399 00:15:06,310 --> 00:15:03,600 bigelow's work was funded by the 400 00:15:08,790 --> 00:15:06,320 government under the ossap program which 401 00:15:12,710 --> 00:15:08,800 had a broad purview not just to study 402 00:15:14,949 --> 00:15:12,720 ufos but also other co-arising anomalous 403 00:15:17,269 --> 00:15:14,959 phenomena which of course is central to 404 00:15:19,269 --> 00:15:17,279 this show and essential to this show 405 00:15:21,110 --> 00:15:19,279 because that's central to reality we 406 00:15:22,949 --> 00:15:21,120 find these colorizing phenomena 407 00:15:24,949 --> 00:15:22,959 happening all the time 408 00:15:26,870 --> 00:15:24,959 so that gives you a bit of background on 409 00:15:29,670 --> 00:15:26,880 this question what's been happening at 410 00:15:32,069 --> 00:15:29,680 skinwalker ranch and what this person is 411 00:15:34,389 --> 00:15:32,079 suggesting is perhaps this is all 412 00:15:37,749 --> 00:15:34,399 basically a counterintelligence 413 00:15:40,150 --> 00:15:37,759 psyop conducted by this sophisticated 414 00:15:41,509 --> 00:15:40,160 intelligence to throw us off their scent 415 00:15:43,990 --> 00:15:41,519 basically 416 00:15:45,509 --> 00:15:44,000 again it's certainly a possibility 417 00:15:47,350 --> 00:15:45,519 however we should also remember that 418 00:15:49,509 --> 00:15:47,360 skinwalker ranch is not the only place 419 00:15:51,990 --> 00:15:49,519 in the world that has these kinds of 420 00:15:55,269 --> 00:15:52,000 co-arising phenomena there are other 421 00:15:57,350 --> 00:15:55,279 places too where seemingly a variety of 422 00:15:59,189 --> 00:15:57,360 different phenomena manifest we're 423 00:16:01,910 --> 00:15:59,199 talking about everything from 424 00:16:04,550 --> 00:16:01,920 seven foot tall wolf creatures 425 00:16:09,189 --> 00:16:04,560 that seem to walk on two legs 426 00:16:11,110 --> 00:16:09,199 to sasquatch to ufos to shadow people to 427 00:16:13,030 --> 00:16:11,120 mysterious human figures that turn out 428 00:16:16,389 --> 00:16:13,040 to not be human or disappear into the 429 00:16:18,230 --> 00:16:16,399 mist never to be found again etc now of 430 00:16:21,030 --> 00:16:18,240 course one possibility that's been put 431 00:16:23,350 --> 00:16:21,040 forth to explain this vast array of 432 00:16:25,749 --> 00:16:23,360 phenomena is that perhaps there's a 433 00:16:27,670 --> 00:16:25,759 wormhole present on the ranch not 434 00:16:29,829 --> 00:16:27,680 specifically on the ground but perhaps 435 00:16:31,990 --> 00:16:29,839 well up in the air or perhaps below the 436 00:16:33,910 --> 00:16:32,000 surface of the ground in the general 437 00:16:36,230 --> 00:16:33,920 proximity of the ranch 438 00:16:38,790 --> 00:16:36,240 in fact in more recent research that's 439 00:16:40,310 --> 00:16:38,800 been done by fugle's team 440 00:16:42,230 --> 00:16:40,320 it has been suggested that there's a 441 00:16:44,710 --> 00:16:42,240 kind of triangulation 442 00:16:47,030 --> 00:16:44,720 of magnetic anomalies that suggest there 443 00:16:49,910 --> 00:16:47,040 could be some sort of massive magnetic 444 00:16:52,150 --> 00:16:49,920 anomaly perhaps a wormhole situated 445 00:16:54,710 --> 00:16:52,160 either high above the property or deep 446 00:16:56,310 --> 00:16:54,720 below the property so that would suggest 447 00:17:00,069 --> 00:16:56,320 therefore that this is not one 448 00:17:03,110 --> 00:17:00,079 intelligence confounding our efforts by 449 00:17:05,590 --> 00:17:03,120 manifesting disorientingly nonsensical 450 00:17:07,750 --> 00:17:05,600 phenomena but rather that there are just 451 00:17:10,710 --> 00:17:07,760 many different entities that are able to 452 00:17:12,710 --> 00:17:10,720 pour into our reality because of the 453 00:17:15,270 --> 00:17:12,720 presence of this wormhole 454 00:17:17,510 --> 00:17:15,280 to me that seems like the more likely 455 00:17:20,069 --> 00:17:17,520 answer to this puzzle but i admit that 456 00:17:21,909 --> 00:17:20,079 the other one is still a possibility the 457 00:17:23,909 --> 00:17:21,919 fact that we also see creatures that 458 00:17:26,309 --> 00:17:23,919 seem to be not only out of place but 459 00:17:27,990 --> 00:17:26,319 outside of time for instance creatures 460 00:17:30,070 --> 00:17:28,000 that seem to be better described as 461 00:17:32,230 --> 00:17:30,080 coming from the jurassic era also 462 00:17:34,150 --> 00:17:32,240 showing up on the property suggests 463 00:17:37,270 --> 00:17:34,160 again that some sort of distortion of 464 00:17:39,350 --> 00:17:37,280 the space-time continuum is going on at 465 00:17:41,750 --> 00:17:39,360 the ranch or very close to the ranch 466 00:17:44,150 --> 00:17:41,760 either high above or deep below and that 467 00:17:46,950 --> 00:17:44,160 this allows for various phenomena 468 00:17:49,990 --> 00:17:46,960 outside our conventional time and space 469 00:17:52,390 --> 00:17:50,000 to pour in to our reality again that's 470 00:17:54,710 --> 00:17:52,400 my working hypothesis to explain places 471 00:17:56,150 --> 00:17:54,720 like skinwalker ranch but i admit that 472 00:17:57,750 --> 00:17:56,160 the possibility of this 473 00:18:00,230 --> 00:17:57,760 hyperintelligence running a 474 00:18:01,669 --> 00:18:00,240 disinformation campaign is also a 475 00:18:03,830 --> 00:18:01,679 possibility 476 00:18:06,710 --> 00:18:03,840 and let me just quickly say also that 477 00:18:09,110 --> 00:18:06,720 this co-arising of anomalous phenomena 478 00:18:11,669 --> 00:18:09,120 is perhaps the most astounding 479 00:18:13,510 --> 00:18:11,679 fascinating and bewildering aspect of 480 00:18:15,669 --> 00:18:13,520 this entire phenomenon 481 00:18:18,710 --> 00:18:15,679 and speaking of that i will address one 482 00:18:21,029 --> 00:18:18,720 particularly bizarre historical event 483 00:18:23,590 --> 00:18:21,039 where we saw this take place later in 484 00:18:25,830 --> 00:18:23,600 this podcast episode 485 00:18:28,549 --> 00:18:25,840 okay time for the next question which is 486 00:18:31,029 --> 00:18:28,559 worded as follows greetings from 487 00:18:33,270 --> 00:18:31,039 arkansas i enjoy the content of your 488 00:18:35,590 --> 00:18:33,280 podcast i have a question pertaining to 489 00:18:38,549 --> 00:18:35,600 something related to the phenomenon but 490 00:18:40,630 --> 00:18:38,559 geared more specifically to humans 491 00:18:42,789 --> 00:18:40,640 why is it in your opinion that so many 492 00:18:45,909 --> 00:18:42,799 people begin to forget their experiences 493 00:18:48,390 --> 00:18:45,919 with the uap phenomenon mere days after 494 00:18:49,430 --> 00:18:48,400 the interaction while others remember it 495 00:18:51,590 --> 00:18:49,440 clearly 496 00:18:54,070 --> 00:18:51,600 do you believe this is an intentionally 497 00:18:56,230 --> 00:18:54,080 directed psychological trick or an 498 00:18:58,950 --> 00:18:56,240 unintended reaction to time and 499 00:19:01,590 --> 00:18:58,960 dimensional disruptions 500 00:19:03,029 --> 00:19:01,600 great question and even in the 501 00:19:04,870 --> 00:19:03,039 body of the question there you can see 502 00:19:06,470 --> 00:19:04,880 that this person has already considered 503 00:19:08,789 --> 00:19:06,480 some possibilities 504 00:19:10,789 --> 00:19:08,799 dimensional disruptions being that 505 00:19:13,750 --> 00:19:10,799 because this happens outside of our 506 00:19:15,990 --> 00:19:13,760 normal flow of time and space it quickly 507 00:19:18,310 --> 00:19:16,000 loses its ability to be grounded into 508 00:19:20,310 --> 00:19:18,320 our reality after the fact 509 00:19:21,750 --> 00:19:20,320 that's a possibility 510 00:19:22,950 --> 00:19:21,760 some other possibilities we should 511 00:19:24,950 --> 00:19:22,960 consider 512 00:19:27,110 --> 00:19:24,960 one is genetic and physiological 513 00:19:29,110 --> 00:19:27,120 differences between people 514 00:19:32,150 --> 00:19:29,120 we know that researchers such as gary 515 00:19:34,950 --> 00:19:32,160 nolan have been studying actual physical 516 00:19:37,430 --> 00:19:34,960 differences in the brains of some people 517 00:19:40,470 --> 00:19:37,440 that allow them to seemingly perceive 518 00:19:42,230 --> 00:19:40,480 anomalous events more so than others 519 00:19:44,150 --> 00:19:42,240 so it may be that some people just have 520 00:19:46,710 --> 00:19:44,160 physiological differences that allow 521 00:19:49,669 --> 00:19:46,720 them to ground or experience these 522 00:19:51,909 --> 00:19:49,679 events more so than others 523 00:19:54,789 --> 00:19:51,919 another major factor from my point of 524 00:19:56,470 --> 00:19:54,799 view is contextual hooks in other words 525 00:19:58,470 --> 00:19:56,480 if you're never taught about this you've 526 00:20:01,590 --> 00:19:58,480 never heard about such things 527 00:20:03,430 --> 00:20:01,600 when you have these anomalous encounters 528 00:20:05,350 --> 00:20:03,440 it kind of gets stored away in some part 529 00:20:07,669 --> 00:20:05,360 of your brain where you can't really 530 00:20:09,430 --> 00:20:07,679 think about it or form long-term 531 00:20:11,669 --> 00:20:09,440 memories about it in some ways because 532 00:20:13,190 --> 00:20:11,679 it's so anomalous so it has nowhere to 533 00:20:15,830 --> 00:20:13,200 land so to speak 534 00:20:17,669 --> 00:20:15,840 no hook to be put on and grounded into 535 00:20:18,950 --> 00:20:17,679 your experience and your long-term 536 00:20:20,950 --> 00:20:18,960 memory 537 00:20:22,470 --> 00:20:20,960 this is especially the case when people 538 00:20:24,710 --> 00:20:22,480 aren't able to talk about such 539 00:20:26,549 --> 00:20:24,720 experiences with other people because 540 00:20:28,549 --> 00:20:26,559 that kind of social interaction that 541 00:20:31,110 --> 00:20:28,559 kind of sound boarding that other people 542 00:20:33,750 --> 00:20:31,120 offer us is a key part of the process to 543 00:20:35,590 --> 00:20:33,760 ground this into our memory 544 00:20:36,789 --> 00:20:35,600 this person also mentioned the 545 00:20:38,390 --> 00:20:36,799 possibility of this being a 546 00:20:40,310 --> 00:20:38,400 psychological trick 547 00:20:43,029 --> 00:20:40,320 perhaps that's definitely on the table 548 00:20:45,590 --> 00:20:43,039 as well and that could be two malevolent 549 00:20:48,390 --> 00:20:45,600 ends but i would also point out that 550 00:20:50,390 --> 00:20:48,400 this could also be a mercy because the 551 00:20:52,630 --> 00:20:50,400 conscious memory may be too much for 552 00:20:55,909 --> 00:20:52,640 some people and that's why the memory is 553 00:20:57,750 --> 00:20:55,919 wiped or covered over in some way 554 00:20:59,190 --> 00:20:57,760 we know that numerous experiencers have 555 00:21:02,310 --> 00:20:59,200 claimed that they have been allowed to 556 00:21:04,630 --> 00:21:02,320 remember more later on when they ask to 557 00:21:06,310 --> 00:21:04,640 remember more once these others are 558 00:21:09,750 --> 00:21:06,320 confident that these people will not 559 00:21:11,350 --> 00:21:09,760 respond like frantic spooked animals you 560 00:21:13,510 --> 00:21:11,360 could think about this like an animal 561 00:21:15,590 --> 00:21:13,520 that begins to trust human beings that 562 00:21:16,630 --> 00:21:15,600 are perhaps treating it in the wild and 563 00:21:19,590 --> 00:21:16,640 it gets to the point where they no 564 00:21:21,029 --> 00:21:19,600 longer have to tranquilize that animal 565 00:21:22,390 --> 00:21:21,039 i understand that's somewhat of a crude 566 00:21:24,470 --> 00:21:22,400 analogy and some people aren't 567 00:21:27,510 --> 00:21:24,480 comfortable with it but i'm just saying 568 00:21:28,870 --> 00:21:27,520 that's what some experiencers describe 569 00:21:31,669 --> 00:21:28,880 that as they develop more of a 570 00:21:33,909 --> 00:21:31,679 relational dynamic with these others 571 00:21:36,549 --> 00:21:33,919 they are permitted to remember more and 572 00:21:39,110 --> 00:21:36,559 they're told that this memory wipe this 573 00:21:40,390 --> 00:21:39,120 memory screening is done as a mercy for 574 00:21:41,830 --> 00:21:40,400 these people 575 00:21:44,310 --> 00:21:41,840 but i also think it's important to 576 00:21:46,310 --> 00:21:44,320 remember that this goes well beyond just 577 00:21:47,909 --> 00:21:46,320 whether or not people remember something 578 00:21:50,470 --> 00:21:47,919 that's anomalous 579 00:21:52,070 --> 00:21:50,480 we need to remember that these others 580 00:21:53,909 --> 00:21:52,080 some of them anyway because again 581 00:21:55,669 --> 00:21:53,919 there's probably numerous groups we're 582 00:21:58,390 --> 00:21:55,679 interacting with and we shouldn't make 583 00:22:00,470 --> 00:21:58,400 the mistake of conflating them all but 584 00:22:03,350 --> 00:22:00,480 some of them seem to have masterful 585 00:22:05,110 --> 00:22:03,360 control over our perceptions and even 586 00:22:07,190 --> 00:22:05,120 over our memories 587 00:22:09,110 --> 00:22:07,200 so there's two ways you could look at it 588 00:22:11,430 --> 00:22:09,120 either that some are remembering while 589 00:22:14,070 --> 00:22:11,440 others are forgetting or that some 590 00:22:16,470 --> 00:22:14,080 recall correctly that a certain event 591 00:22:18,870 --> 00:22:16,480 never happened while others falsely 592 00:22:21,270 --> 00:22:18,880 recall a non-event that was actually an 593 00:22:23,750 --> 00:22:21,280 implanted false memory 594 00:22:25,990 --> 00:22:23,760 that's possible what seems more likely 595 00:22:28,630 --> 00:22:26,000 however is that when a false memory is 596 00:22:30,710 --> 00:22:28,640 implanted it is to cover over something 597 00:22:32,710 --> 00:22:30,720 else that really did happen 598 00:22:35,510 --> 00:22:32,720 as in what we have often heard referred 599 00:22:38,470 --> 00:22:35,520 to as screen memories for instance when 600 00:22:41,909 --> 00:22:38,480 people remember seeing owls or deer or 601 00:22:44,230 --> 00:22:41,919 workmen on the road and only later under 602 00:22:46,390 --> 00:22:44,240 hypnotic regression for instance they 603 00:22:47,830 --> 00:22:46,400 gained additional clarity and they then 604 00:22:50,470 --> 00:22:47,840 realized that what was actually 605 00:22:52,950 --> 00:22:50,480 encountered was for instance a group of 606 00:22:55,190 --> 00:22:52,960 grey aliens 607 00:22:57,190 --> 00:22:55,200 okay on to our next question which is 608 00:22:59,270 --> 00:22:57,200 worded as follows 609 00:23:01,430 --> 00:22:59,280 can you elaborate on what materialist 610 00:23:03,590 --> 00:23:01,440 and reductionistic mean in the context 611 00:23:06,470 --> 00:23:03,600 of limitations of science 612 00:23:09,430 --> 00:23:06,480 are quantum particles material are the 613 00:23:11,190 --> 00:23:09,440 four fundamental forces material is 614 00:23:13,909 --> 00:23:11,200 explaining nature as quantum 615 00:23:16,149 --> 00:23:13,919 interactions reductionistic 616 00:23:18,390 --> 00:23:16,159 okay great question and yes you are 617 00:23:20,470 --> 00:23:18,400 right that i often say that that 618 00:23:23,350 --> 00:23:20,480 part of the problem with reductionistic 619 00:23:25,350 --> 00:23:23,360 materialistic science is that it would 620 00:23:27,190 --> 00:23:25,360 not allow for these kinds of 621 00:23:29,990 --> 00:23:27,200 interactions because they don't fit with 622 00:23:31,590 --> 00:23:30,000 a prevailing paradigm but what do i mean 623 00:23:34,870 --> 00:23:31,600 when i say materialist and 624 00:23:36,630 --> 00:23:34,880 reductionistic really this comes down to 625 00:23:38,870 --> 00:23:36,640 the tendency for 626 00:23:41,029 --> 00:23:38,880 scientific materialists to reduce 627 00:23:42,310 --> 00:23:41,039 everything to what ken wilbur has called 628 00:23:43,110 --> 00:23:42,320 flat land 629 00:23:45,190 --> 00:23:43,120 where 630 00:23:47,590 --> 00:23:45,200 while we have depth and breadth to 631 00:23:49,590 --> 00:23:47,600 reality and to human experience 632 00:23:51,990 --> 00:23:49,600 what science does is reduces it 633 00:23:54,230 --> 00:23:52,000 collapses it into a single 634 00:23:55,110 --> 00:23:54,240 one-dimensional surface that you can 635 00:23:57,430 --> 00:23:55,120 measure 636 00:23:59,750 --> 00:23:57,440 and it then goes one step further and 637 00:24:01,990 --> 00:23:59,760 says that all that really counts all 638 00:24:04,710 --> 00:24:02,000 that's really real is what you can 639 00:24:06,630 --> 00:24:04,720 measure at that collapsed surface level 640 00:24:09,430 --> 00:24:06,640 that's why it's reductionistic because 641 00:24:11,669 --> 00:24:09,440 it takes a multi-dimensional plurality 642 00:24:14,070 --> 00:24:11,679 and reduces it to something that's 643 00:24:15,750 --> 00:24:14,080 measurable and then on top of that 644 00:24:18,390 --> 00:24:15,760 assumes that only that which is 645 00:24:20,149 --> 00:24:18,400 measurable is actually real 646 00:24:22,630 --> 00:24:20,159 to make this point further i'd like to 647 00:24:25,669 --> 00:24:22,640 offer a few quotes and to be clear this 648 00:24:28,390 --> 00:24:25,679 reductionism happens all over the place 649 00:24:31,110 --> 00:24:28,400 it is rampant throughout the sciences 650 00:24:33,110 --> 00:24:31,120 for instance thomas nagle says quote 651 00:24:36,149 --> 00:24:33,120 physical chemical reductionism in 652 00:24:38,630 --> 00:24:36,159 biology is the orthodox view and any 653 00:24:41,669 --> 00:24:38,640 resistance to it is regarded as not only 654 00:24:43,669 --> 00:24:41,679 scientifically but politically incorrect 655 00:24:45,830 --> 00:24:43,679 but for a long time i have found the 656 00:24:48,149 --> 00:24:45,840 materialist account of how we and our 657 00:24:49,510 --> 00:24:48,159 fellow organisms came to exist 658 00:24:51,190 --> 00:24:49,520 hard to believe 659 00:24:53,590 --> 00:24:51,200 including the standard version of how 660 00:24:55,269 --> 00:24:53,600 the evolutionary process works 661 00:24:57,750 --> 00:24:55,279 the more details we learn about the 662 00:24:59,669 --> 00:24:57,760 chemical basis of life and the intricacy 663 00:25:01,669 --> 00:24:59,679 of the genetic code the more 664 00:25:04,470 --> 00:25:01,679 unbelievable the standard historical 665 00:25:06,630 --> 00:25:04,480 account becomes unquote 666 00:25:08,630 --> 00:25:06,640 terence mckenna said quote the 667 00:25:10,870 --> 00:25:08,640 intellectual tension that seems to work 668 00:25:13,350 --> 00:25:10,880 its way through this society almost like 669 00:25:15,990 --> 00:25:13,360 fat through meat is the tension between 670 00:25:18,710 --> 00:25:16,000 scientific reductionism and the deeply 671 00:25:20,710 --> 00:25:18,720 felt intuition of most people that there 672 00:25:23,909 --> 00:25:20,720 is a spiritual dimension or a hidden 673 00:25:26,870 --> 00:25:23,919 dimension or a transcendental dimension 674 00:25:28,390 --> 00:25:26,880 unquote and to be clear those aspects 675 00:25:30,630 --> 00:25:28,400 those hidden dimensions those 676 00:25:32,870 --> 00:25:30,640 transcendental dimensions even those 677 00:25:35,350 --> 00:25:32,880 spiritual dimensions are front and 678 00:25:37,029 --> 00:25:35,360 center with the ufo phenomenon and 679 00:25:39,830 --> 00:25:37,039 that's partly why so much of the 680 00:25:42,230 --> 00:25:39,840 experience or testimony specifically is 681 00:25:43,590 --> 00:25:42,240 completely dismissed by many many 682 00:25:45,990 --> 00:25:43,600 scientists 683 00:25:47,830 --> 00:25:46,000 making this point further t colin 684 00:25:50,390 --> 00:25:47,840 campbell said quote 685 00:25:52,630 --> 00:25:50,400 there's another pitfall of reductionism 686 00:25:55,350 --> 00:25:52,640 until scientists have the means to 687 00:25:58,310 --> 00:25:55,360 isolate and measure things they insist 688 00:26:01,190 --> 00:25:58,320 those things don't and can't exist and 689 00:26:03,750 --> 00:26:01,200 anyone who says otherwise is ignorant 690 00:26:05,269 --> 00:26:03,760 and superstitious unquote 691 00:26:07,990 --> 00:26:05,279 so again that's a big part of the 692 00:26:10,149 --> 00:26:08,000 problem that the assumption is not only 693 00:26:12,230 --> 00:26:10,159 that it can't be measured but because it 694 00:26:14,310 --> 00:26:12,240 can't be measured it can't be real it 695 00:26:17,350 --> 00:26:14,320 can't exist it must be some sort of 696 00:26:19,190 --> 00:26:17,360 psychological fancy or delusion 697 00:26:21,029 --> 00:26:19,200 finally i would like to add that part of 698 00:26:23,590 --> 00:26:21,039 the reason why i think there is so much 699 00:26:26,230 --> 00:26:23,600 resistance to these notions within the 700 00:26:29,190 --> 00:26:26,240 scientific establishment is because the 701 00:26:31,909 --> 00:26:29,200 implications of this phenomenon go so 702 00:26:34,230 --> 00:26:31,919 deep they really do call into question 703 00:26:37,110 --> 00:26:34,240 assumptions that are basically dogmatic 704 00:26:39,190 --> 00:26:37,120 assumptions held by most scientists and 705 00:26:41,909 --> 00:26:39,200 that's why to a large degree many of 706 00:26:44,470 --> 00:26:41,919 them will fight to the death to resist 707 00:26:46,950 --> 00:26:44,480 these kinds of notions these kinds of 708 00:26:49,830 --> 00:26:46,960 possibilities because it turns on its 709 00:26:53,029 --> 00:26:49,840 head their entire way of thinking 710 00:26:55,990 --> 00:26:53,039 viewing perceiving and making sense of 711 00:26:57,590 --> 00:26:56,000 the quote unquote real world 712 00:26:59,990 --> 00:26:57,600 all right we have time for one 713 00:27:02,230 --> 00:27:00,000 additional question in this round of the 714 00:27:04,230 --> 00:27:02,240 inquiring mind don't forget we'll do it 715 00:27:06,149 --> 00:27:04,240 again in about 10 episodes so if you 716 00:27:07,350 --> 00:27:06,159 have questions send them in i will try 717 00:27:09,750 --> 00:27:07,360 to get to them 718 00:27:11,029 --> 00:27:09,760 the question we end with is stated as 719 00:27:13,029 --> 00:27:11,039 follows 720 00:27:15,029 --> 00:27:13,039 i always appreciate how you seem to have 721 00:27:18,230 --> 00:27:15,039 your finger on the pulse of what's going 722 00:27:20,549 --> 00:27:18,240 on as much as anyone can anyway because 723 00:27:23,669 --> 00:27:20,559 as you say clarity is elusive when it 724 00:27:26,149 --> 00:27:23,679 comes to this ufo phenomenon topic 725 00:27:28,789 --> 00:27:26,159 but that said i'm curious as to what has 726 00:27:30,870 --> 00:27:28,799 really peaked your interest of late 727 00:27:32,830 --> 00:27:30,880 what element of the phenomenon has 728 00:27:34,470 --> 00:27:32,840 lately made your jaw 729 00:27:36,630 --> 00:27:34,480 drop 730 00:27:38,870 --> 00:27:36,640 interesting question and let me first 731 00:27:41,029 --> 00:27:38,880 say i'm frequently surprised by what i 732 00:27:42,870 --> 00:27:41,039 discover that even though i've been 733 00:27:45,350 --> 00:27:42,880 familiar with this literature for a long 734 00:27:47,430 --> 00:27:45,360 time while i've been familiar with the 735 00:27:50,230 --> 00:27:47,440 crossover between for instance the size 736 00:27:52,630 --> 00:27:50,240 spectrum or phenomena such as near-death 737 00:27:55,590 --> 00:27:52,640 experiences and out-of-body experiences 738 00:27:57,830 --> 00:27:55,600 and ufos and aliens i still do come 739 00:28:00,070 --> 00:27:57,840 across elements of the data that do 740 00:28:01,350 --> 00:28:00,080 surprise me that make me step back and 741 00:28:03,110 --> 00:28:01,360 really again 742 00:28:05,430 --> 00:28:03,120 wonder about the big picture wonder 743 00:28:07,350 --> 00:28:05,440 about what's going on and wonder what 744 00:28:10,070 --> 00:28:07,360 these revelations tell us about the 745 00:28:11,590 --> 00:28:10,080 nature of ultimate reality 746 00:28:13,830 --> 00:28:11,600 let me share one that i came across 747 00:28:15,269 --> 00:28:13,840 recently that again really did make my 748 00:28:17,590 --> 00:28:15,279 jaw drop 749 00:28:19,430 --> 00:28:17,600 i was reading about uri geller now as 750 00:28:22,710 --> 00:28:19,440 many of you probably already know uri 751 00:28:25,990 --> 00:28:22,720 geller is well known for his psi 752 00:28:28,149 --> 00:28:26,000 abilities he can manifest along the side 753 00:28:30,950 --> 00:28:28,159 spectrum to an astounding degree he's 754 00:28:33,190 --> 00:28:30,960 one of the most telekinetic telepathic 755 00:28:35,750 --> 00:28:33,200 people in the history of the world 756 00:28:37,750 --> 00:28:35,760 you may have seen him spoon bending or 757 00:28:39,669 --> 00:28:37,760 moving soccer balls with his mind with 758 00:28:41,190 --> 00:28:39,679 the help of others when it's clear he's 759 00:28:43,029 --> 00:28:41,200 not getting anywhere close to the table 760 00:28:44,870 --> 00:28:43,039 where a soccer ball is sitting 761 00:28:47,669 --> 00:28:44,880 he's famous for those kinds of 762 00:28:50,549 --> 00:28:47,679 demonstrations but it's not just on tv 763 00:28:53,190 --> 00:28:50,559 shows or call-in shows or podcasts that 764 00:28:55,669 --> 00:28:53,200 uri geller demonstrates these abilities 765 00:28:58,389 --> 00:28:55,679 he's also been studied in scientific 766 00:29:00,070 --> 00:28:58,399 circles and in governmental circles that 767 00:29:02,549 --> 00:29:00,080 are trying to get to the heart of what 768 00:29:05,110 --> 00:29:02,559 goes on here how is it that people seem 769 00:29:07,110 --> 00:29:05,120 to have these psi abilities and again 770 00:29:09,590 --> 00:29:07,120 uri geller is recognized even within 771 00:29:11,990 --> 00:29:09,600 governmental circles as one of the most 772 00:29:13,430 --> 00:29:12,000 psy capable people in the history of the 773 00:29:15,029 --> 00:29:13,440 world 774 00:29:17,190 --> 00:29:15,039 now in this one particular case i'm 775 00:29:19,830 --> 00:29:17,200 thinking about what happened was a 776 00:29:22,389 --> 00:29:19,840 regular was tasked with trying to 777 00:29:24,950 --> 00:29:22,399 interfere with or manipulate 778 00:29:26,710 --> 00:29:24,960 a laser that was being fired at a target 779 00:29:28,789 --> 00:29:26,720 that was the first of two experiments 780 00:29:31,269 --> 00:29:28,799 actually that were conducted with uri 781 00:29:33,590 --> 00:29:31,279 geller in the second test these 782 00:29:36,630 --> 00:29:33,600 scientists placed magnetic computer 783 00:29:39,350 --> 00:29:36,640 cards inside a lead container that was 784 00:29:41,750 --> 00:29:39,360 completely sealed off the question was 785 00:29:43,190 --> 00:29:41,760 could uri geller interfere with those 786 00:29:45,590 --> 00:29:43,200 cards 787 00:29:48,070 --> 00:29:45,600 now what they found was yes indeed uri 788 00:29:49,669 --> 00:29:48,080 geller was successful in both cases in 789 00:29:51,990 --> 00:29:49,679 both experiments 790 00:29:54,549 --> 00:29:52,000 but that's the less interesting aspect 791 00:29:55,830 --> 00:29:54,559 of this particular account partly 792 00:29:58,389 --> 00:29:55,840 because i already knew about uri 793 00:29:59,830 --> 00:29:58,399 geller's success in these psi areas 794 00:30:02,070 --> 00:29:59,840 again it's remarkable but i've heard 795 00:30:04,630 --> 00:30:02,080 about that many times before 796 00:30:07,590 --> 00:30:04,640 what was interesting was that 797 00:30:09,990 --> 00:30:07,600 to document this experiment 798 00:30:13,269 --> 00:30:10,000 these nuclear physicists were brought in 799 00:30:15,350 --> 00:30:13,279 to actually make notice of what happened 800 00:30:17,430 --> 00:30:15,360 perhaps try and come up with 801 00:30:19,190 --> 00:30:17,440 explanations for how irregular was doing 802 00:30:21,909 --> 00:30:19,200 it but mainly they were there to 803 00:30:24,789 --> 00:30:21,919 document scientifically what went on and 804 00:30:28,070 --> 00:30:24,799 to ensure there was no trickery involved 805 00:30:30,310 --> 00:30:28,080 so again the experiments ran uri geller 806 00:30:32,389 --> 00:30:30,320 showed his capacity in this area as he 807 00:30:34,389 --> 00:30:32,399 has done many times before 808 00:30:35,750 --> 00:30:34,399 what's fascinating about this account is 809 00:30:38,230 --> 00:30:35,760 what happened to those nuclear 810 00:30:40,549 --> 00:30:38,240 physicists afterwards 811 00:30:43,590 --> 00:30:40,559 now because these are nuclear physicists 812 00:30:45,430 --> 00:30:43,600 working in secure locations involving 813 00:30:47,510 --> 00:30:45,440 nuclear material and nuclear weapons 814 00:30:49,590 --> 00:30:47,520 often these people are watched quite 815 00:30:52,070 --> 00:30:49,600 closely because it is assumed that 816 00:30:54,149 --> 00:30:52,080 foreign adversaries may try to intercept 817 00:30:55,750 --> 00:30:54,159 these people to bring them into their 818 00:30:57,990 --> 00:30:55,760 programs because of their knowledge 819 00:31:00,149 --> 00:30:58,000 around nuclear weapons and such 820 00:31:03,750 --> 00:31:00,159 so these people these physicists are 821 00:31:05,750 --> 00:31:03,760 always asked to declare any strange 822 00:31:07,509 --> 00:31:05,760 events that have happened to them since 823 00:31:09,029 --> 00:31:07,519 they were last at work so basically 824 00:31:10,870 --> 00:31:09,039 every time they check in for work they 825 00:31:12,789 --> 00:31:10,880 have to give an account for anything 826 00:31:14,389 --> 00:31:12,799 strange that has occurred 827 00:31:16,149 --> 00:31:14,399 so what ended up happening to these 828 00:31:18,470 --> 00:31:16,159 nuclear physicists who just happened to 829 00:31:19,990 --> 00:31:18,480 be witnesses for uri geller's psi 830 00:31:22,310 --> 00:31:20,000 capacities 831 00:31:24,630 --> 00:31:22,320 well they seem to take home what's 832 00:31:27,029 --> 00:31:24,640 called hitchhiker phenomena in other 833 00:31:29,110 --> 00:31:27,039 words in their homes later that night 834 00:31:32,310 --> 00:31:29,120 and on into the week they would 835 00:31:34,549 --> 00:31:32,320 experience bizarre anomalous phenomena 836 00:31:37,350 --> 00:31:34,559 for instance a couple of these different 837 00:31:39,430 --> 00:31:37,360 physicists saw orbs floating in their 838 00:31:42,230 --> 00:31:39,440 hallway we've of course come across as 839 00:31:44,950 --> 00:31:42,240 many times after people experience ufos 840 00:31:47,590 --> 00:31:44,960 or alien contact in this case it was 841 00:31:49,830 --> 00:31:47,600 just scientists who happened to observe 842 00:31:52,710 --> 00:31:49,840 sign capacity demonstrated by a human 843 00:31:54,549 --> 00:31:52,720 being specifically uri geller 844 00:31:58,070 --> 00:31:54,559 another nuclear physicist recounted 845 00:32:00,630 --> 00:31:58,080 seeing a giant black raven manifest 846 00:32:03,990 --> 00:32:00,640 inside his bedroom at night 847 00:32:07,269 --> 00:32:04,000 even stranger still his wife also saw it 848 00:32:09,190 --> 00:32:07,279 a very large black raven perched at the 849 00:32:11,750 --> 00:32:09,200 end of their bed there was no open 850 00:32:12,950 --> 00:32:11,760 windows or open doors and both of them 851 00:32:16,230 --> 00:32:12,960 saw it 852 00:32:18,310 --> 00:32:16,240 in another case a severed limb an arm 853 00:32:21,029 --> 00:32:18,320 seemed to be floating in midair and 854 00:32:23,909 --> 00:32:21,039 rotating this was observed as well 855 00:32:26,389 --> 00:32:23,919 out of the blue these bizarre phenomena 856 00:32:29,029 --> 00:32:26,399 manifested either in the consciousness 857 00:32:31,269 --> 00:32:29,039 or in the consensus reality of these 858 00:32:33,509 --> 00:32:31,279 people and again on several occasions 859 00:32:35,269 --> 00:32:33,519 there was more than one witness to this 860 00:32:37,269 --> 00:32:35,279 this of course is called hitchhiker 861 00:32:39,909 --> 00:32:37,279 phenomena and we're very familiar with 862 00:32:41,269 --> 00:32:39,919 it in places like skinwalker ranch we 863 00:32:43,269 --> 00:32:41,279 talked about this when we discussed the 864 00:32:46,470 --> 00:32:43,279 skinwalkers at the pentagon book over 865 00:32:48,470 --> 00:32:46,480 two episodes not all that long ago 866 00:32:50,470 --> 00:32:48,480 but what i find particularly fascinating 867 00:32:53,029 --> 00:32:50,480 about this particular case and why it 868 00:32:56,470 --> 00:32:53,039 makes my jaw drop is there were no 869 00:32:59,909 --> 00:32:56,480 sasquatches involved there were no ufos 870 00:33:03,190 --> 00:32:59,919 no aliens involved no shadow people 871 00:33:04,310 --> 00:33:03,200 no reptilians no grey aliens 872 00:33:07,190 --> 00:33:04,320 none of it 873 00:33:09,509 --> 00:33:07,200 all that happened was a human being uri 874 00:33:12,710 --> 00:33:09,519 geller specifically was demonstrating 875 00:33:14,870 --> 00:33:12,720 psi capacity and this seemed to bring 876 00:33:17,269 --> 00:33:14,880 about a circumstance where hitchhiker 877 00:33:19,990 --> 00:33:17,279 phenomena attached to these nuclear 878 00:33:22,149 --> 00:33:20,000 physicists who were innocent bystanders 879 00:33:24,389 --> 00:33:22,159 basically they had no interest in these 880 00:33:26,070 --> 00:33:24,399 kind of anomalous activities they 881 00:33:28,470 --> 00:33:26,080 probably were the very reductionistic 882 00:33:30,549 --> 00:33:28,480 scientists we talked about not long ago 883 00:33:32,149 --> 00:33:30,559 and yet this still happened to them just 884 00:33:34,630 --> 00:33:32,159 because they were witnesses to what 885 00:33:36,630 --> 00:33:34,640 happened with uri geller 886 00:33:38,389 --> 00:33:36,640 now this is so fascinating how can we 887 00:33:40,549 --> 00:33:38,399 describe what's happening 888 00:33:42,870 --> 00:33:40,559 what is the cause and effect equation in 889 00:33:43,909 --> 00:33:42,880 a situation such as this 890 00:33:45,909 --> 00:33:43,919 there are a couple different 891 00:33:48,230 --> 00:33:45,919 possibilities that occurred to me 892 00:33:50,549 --> 00:33:48,240 on the one hand it could be that when 893 00:33:53,590 --> 00:33:50,559 someone like erie geller demonstrates 894 00:33:56,149 --> 00:33:53,600 this side capacity it somehow tears the 895 00:33:58,630 --> 00:33:56,159 space-time continuum and that this 896 00:34:01,029 --> 00:33:58,640 creates basically a wormhole or tear in 897 00:34:03,830 --> 00:34:01,039 the space-time fabric which just like at 898 00:34:05,990 --> 00:34:03,840 skinwalker ranch creates the possibility 899 00:34:08,710 --> 00:34:06,000 of a portal opening up through which 900 00:34:10,629 --> 00:34:08,720 then these other phenomena can manifest 901 00:34:12,069 --> 00:34:10,639 that could be what's going on here and 902 00:34:14,470 --> 00:34:12,079 of course that raises all sorts of 903 00:34:16,389 --> 00:34:14,480 interesting implications in terms of 904 00:34:19,109 --> 00:34:16,399 what's actually happening when human 905 00:34:20,790 --> 00:34:19,119 beings demonstrate side capacity 906 00:34:23,030 --> 00:34:20,800 another possibility that someone pointed 907 00:34:24,790 --> 00:34:23,040 out to me that's also intriguing is that 908 00:34:27,030 --> 00:34:24,800 perhaps this creates a kind of 909 00:34:29,829 --> 00:34:27,040 earthquake or perhaps we would call it a 910 00:34:32,470 --> 00:34:29,839 psyquake that reverberates in such a way 911 00:34:34,869 --> 00:34:32,480 that these entities perhaps even in 912 00:34:37,030 --> 00:34:34,879 different dimensions can pick up on it 913 00:34:39,669 --> 00:34:37,040 and they somehow attach to it 914 00:34:41,909 --> 00:34:39,679 either like a virus or with conscious 915 00:34:44,149 --> 00:34:41,919 intention it could work either way 916 00:34:45,589 --> 00:34:44,159 but as a result people who just happen 917 00:34:48,230 --> 00:34:45,599 to be in the vicinity end up 918 00:34:51,190 --> 00:34:48,240 experiencing these hitchhiker phenomena 919 00:34:54,310 --> 00:34:51,200 these anomalous events as a result 920 00:34:55,589 --> 00:34:54,320 truly is mind-bending and fascinating to 921 00:34:57,910 --> 00:34:55,599 the extreme 922 00:35:00,550 --> 00:34:57,920 the bottom line is when we consider 923 00:35:02,470 --> 00:35:00,560 these kinds of events that happen across 924 00:35:04,230 --> 00:35:02,480 time and across cultures to various 925 00:35:07,190 --> 00:35:04,240 people including those who have no 926 00:35:10,069 --> 00:35:07,200 belief no pre-existing conception of 927 00:35:13,190 --> 00:35:10,079 such events we're left to conclude that 928 00:35:15,750 --> 00:35:13,200 we are entering unchartered waters 929 00:35:18,390 --> 00:35:15,760 to quote from the original matrix film 930 00:35:20,710 -->
