1 00:00:02,860 --> 00:00:07,829 [Music] 2 00:00:13,910 --> 00:00:11,509 hello and welcome to episode number 62 3 00:00:18,390 --> 00:00:13,920 of the point of convergence podcast 4 00:00:19,990 --> 00:00:18,400 as always i am your host exo academian 5 00:00:22,070 --> 00:00:20,000 over the course of the history of this 6 00:00:24,550 --> 00:00:22,080 podcast we've covered events and 7 00:00:27,189 --> 00:00:24,560 experiences that are so bizarre 8 00:00:29,109 --> 00:00:27,199 seemingly irrational and even absurd 9 00:00:31,669 --> 00:00:29,119 that one can't help but come away from 10 00:00:33,430 --> 00:00:31,679 an exhaustive examination of this data 11 00:00:36,150 --> 00:00:33,440 wondering how on earth it fits into our 12 00:00:38,790 --> 00:00:36,160 notion of reality at all 13 00:00:40,709 --> 00:00:38,800 put simply i don't think it does 14 00:00:41,670 --> 00:00:40,719 but not because the data is somehow an 15 00:00:43,510 --> 00:00:41,680 error 16 00:00:44,950 --> 00:00:43,520 after all at this point there's simply 17 00:00:47,830 --> 00:00:44,960 too much of it with too much 18 00:00:49,029 --> 00:00:47,840 cross-cultural consistency for that to 19 00:00:50,709 --> 00:00:49,039 be the case 20 00:00:52,910 --> 00:00:50,719 even allowing for a healthy dose of 21 00:00:55,590 --> 00:00:52,920 filtering for cases involving 22 00:00:56,830 --> 00:00:55,600 misrepresentation misapprehension 23 00:00:59,349 --> 00:00:56,840 and or mental 24 00:01:01,750 --> 00:00:59,359 instability now it being the case that 25 00:01:04,789 --> 00:01:01,760 this is a bona fide phenomenon happening 26 00:01:06,789 --> 00:01:04,799 to real people in real ways and has been 27 00:01:09,510 --> 00:01:06,799 since time immemorial 28 00:01:13,030 --> 00:01:09,520 the problem must lie not in the data but 29 00:01:15,030 --> 00:01:13,040 in our very conceptions of reality 30 00:01:17,830 --> 00:01:15,040 in today's episode we'll be unwrapping 31 00:01:20,149 --> 00:01:17,840 this enigma even further but not in the 32 00:01:22,070 --> 00:01:20,159 form of a new case we'll be studying but 33 00:01:23,350 --> 00:01:22,080 rather in the form of questions and 34 00:01:25,270 --> 00:01:23,360 answers 35 00:01:27,429 --> 00:01:25,280 the questions submitted this time around 36 00:01:30,230 --> 00:01:27,439 for this inquiring mind feature were 37 00:01:32,069 --> 00:01:30,240 again of the highest caliber and my 38 00:01:34,069 --> 00:01:32,079 thanks go out to all who took the time 39 00:01:35,830 --> 00:01:34,079 to submit a question 40 00:01:37,510 --> 00:01:35,840 since i don't have the time to answer 41 00:01:39,990 --> 00:01:37,520 all the questions submitted in this 42 00:01:41,830 --> 00:01:40,000 podcast i've chosen to engage with 43 00:01:44,389 --> 00:01:41,840 several that i think will help us keep 44 00:01:47,670 --> 00:01:44,399 our eye on this central question 45 00:01:49,749 --> 00:01:47,680 regarding the nature of reality 46 00:01:52,149 --> 00:01:49,759 and with that in mind let's get right to 47 00:01:55,190 --> 00:01:52,159 it in this the third installment of the 48 00:01:57,270 --> 00:01:55,200 inquiring mind in this the 60 second 49 00:02:00,270 --> 00:01:57,280 episode of the point of convergence 50 00:02:05,190 --> 00:02:03,429 [Music] 51 00:02:08,389 --> 00:02:05,200 all right let's get right to it question 52 00:02:10,550 --> 00:02:08,399 number one is worded as follows so i've 53 00:02:12,390 --> 00:02:10,560 been considering how old the universe is 54 00:02:14,229 --> 00:02:12,400 and the probability of other life having 55 00:02:15,670 --> 00:02:14,239 developed out there 56 00:02:18,150 --> 00:02:15,680 i was wondering if you'd ever come 57 00:02:20,790 --> 00:02:18,160 across any calculations of statistical 58 00:02:22,630 --> 00:02:20,800 probability of other life having formed 59 00:02:25,830 --> 00:02:22,640 out there somewhere 60 00:02:27,830 --> 00:02:25,840 also more interesting to me is if life 61 00:02:30,390 --> 00:02:27,840 has evolved to be intelligent and 62 00:02:32,470 --> 00:02:30,400 visited us in one form or another 63 00:02:34,830 --> 00:02:32,480 what is the probability it would be at a 64 00:02:37,030 --> 00:02:34,840 similar level of development as we are 65 00:02:38,869 --> 00:02:37,040 currently i don't know the answers to 66 00:02:41,270 --> 00:02:38,879 these questions and i'm not particularly 67 00:02:43,350 --> 00:02:41,280 mathematically minded but it seems to me 68 00:02:45,589 --> 00:02:43,360 that it'd be most likely that life would 69 00:02:47,910 --> 00:02:45,599 be a lot more advanced than us 70 00:02:49,350 --> 00:02:47,920 a lot could be millions or even billions 71 00:02:51,589 --> 00:02:49,360 of years 72 00:02:53,670 --> 00:02:51,599 meaning the chances of another life form 73 00:02:55,589 --> 00:02:53,680 being at a very similar level to us in 74 00:02:58,309 --> 00:02:55,599 the same narrow window of a few hundred 75 00:03:00,710 --> 00:02:58,319 years almost seems absurd given the 76 00:03:02,949 --> 00:03:00,720 vastness of time that has passed since 77 00:03:04,710 --> 00:03:02,959 the universe began 78 00:03:06,790 --> 00:03:04,720 comparing technology even with a 79 00:03:08,550 --> 00:03:06,800 difference of only a few hundred years 80 00:03:10,869 --> 00:03:08,560 would be close to the point of being 81 00:03:12,869 --> 00:03:10,879 indistinguishable from magic 82 00:03:16,070 --> 00:03:12,879 so what hope can we realistically have 83 00:03:17,990 --> 00:03:16,080 of understanding its origins or intent 84 00:03:19,910 --> 00:03:18,000 perhaps there could be a level that they 85 00:03:21,430 --> 00:03:19,920 get to where they move beyond the need 86 00:03:24,229 --> 00:03:21,440 for any presence in the material 87 00:03:26,309 --> 00:03:24,239 universe and exist outside of that 88 00:03:28,550 --> 00:03:26,319 the statistical side is interesting to 89 00:03:30,789 --> 00:03:28,560 me as it's quantifiable and the 90 00:03:32,630 --> 00:03:30,799 speculative side also interesting as it 91 00:03:35,350 --> 00:03:32,640 allows one to imagine 92 00:03:37,350 --> 00:03:35,360 what's possible 93 00:03:40,070 --> 00:03:37,360 this is a great question and has many 94 00:03:41,830 --> 00:03:40,080 aspects to it a lot to unravel this 95 00:03:43,430 --> 00:03:41,840 could certainly be an entire podcast 96 00:03:45,030 --> 00:03:43,440 episode on its own 97 00:03:47,350 --> 00:03:45,040 and i have addressed a few of these 98 00:03:50,390 --> 00:03:47,360 notions before but it's good to sort of 99 00:03:51,670 --> 00:03:50,400 capture it in one answer here 100 00:03:53,429 --> 00:03:51,680 first of all 101 00:03:56,229 --> 00:03:53,439 many excellent points made there and 102 00:03:58,309 --> 00:03:56,239 he's right the chances are very low that 103 00:04:00,869 --> 00:03:58,319 if we were being visited by an 104 00:04:02,309 --> 00:04:00,879 intelligence that's not human supposedly 105 00:04:03,589 --> 00:04:02,319 from somewhere else in our physical 106 00:04:06,070 --> 00:04:03,599 universe 107 00:04:08,710 --> 00:04:06,080 the chances that the technology would 108 00:04:11,350 --> 00:04:08,720 just look sophisticated to us seems 109 00:04:12,630 --> 00:04:11,360 unlikely because that would imply as he 110 00:04:15,190 --> 00:04:12,640 suggests here 111 00:04:16,550 --> 00:04:15,200 that they are only you know decades or a 112 00:04:20,710 --> 00:04:16,560 few hundred years 113 00:04:22,710 --> 00:04:20,720 he rightly points out 114 00:04:24,550 --> 00:04:22,720 the technology would likely be at a 115 00:04:27,110 --> 00:04:24,560 point where we wouldn't even recognize 116 00:04:28,629 --> 00:04:27,120 it as technology it would simply look 117 00:04:30,230 --> 00:04:28,639 like magic 118 00:04:32,710 --> 00:04:30,240 all you have to do is think back to how 119 00:04:34,469 --> 00:04:32,720 much our technology has changed over the 120 00:04:36,550 --> 00:04:34,479 last century 121 00:04:38,950 --> 00:04:36,560 and you realize these things happen very 122 00:04:41,990 --> 00:04:38,960 very quickly we went from a horse and 123 00:04:45,110 --> 00:04:42,000 buggy to rocket ships leaving our solar 124 00:04:46,790 --> 00:04:45,120 system within about a hundred years so 125 00:04:49,510 --> 00:04:46,800 imagine what would happen after a few 126 00:04:51,110 --> 00:04:49,520 hundred years thousands of years 127 00:04:53,110 --> 00:04:51,120 millions of years 128 00:04:55,189 --> 00:04:53,120 and as he points at here 129 00:04:57,270 --> 00:04:55,199 because of the age of the universe some 130 00:04:59,830 --> 00:04:57,280 of these civilizations could even be 131 00:05:02,469 --> 00:04:59,840 billions of years beyond us 132 00:05:04,629 --> 00:05:02,479 and to be quite frank at that point we 133 00:05:07,029 --> 00:05:04,639 can't even imagine we can't even begin 134 00:05:09,909 --> 00:05:07,039 to conceive what that would look like in 135 00:05:12,390 --> 00:05:09,919 terms of technology it's just so beyond 136 00:05:14,870 --> 00:05:12,400 the pale that we can't even go there 137 00:05:16,629 --> 00:05:14,880 but again the chances are very low that 138 00:05:18,310 --> 00:05:16,639 it would just look like sophisticated 139 00:05:20,150 --> 00:05:18,320 craft to us 140 00:05:22,870 --> 00:05:20,160 which again raises some interesting 141 00:05:25,909 --> 00:05:22,880 implications is it possible that they 142 00:05:28,230 --> 00:05:25,919 are dumbing down their manifestations so 143 00:05:30,629 --> 00:05:28,240 as to look a certain way to us to play 144 00:05:32,150 --> 00:05:30,639 into our cultural expectations 145 00:05:33,909 --> 00:05:32,160 that's possible 146 00:05:35,590 --> 00:05:33,919 is it also possible that some of these 147 00:05:37,990 --> 00:05:35,600 craft that are being spotted are 148 00:05:40,629 --> 00:05:38,000 actually physical in nature but they 149 00:05:42,150 --> 00:05:40,639 arise from some sort of intelligence 150 00:05:45,350 --> 00:05:42,160 that exists on the earth and some sort 151 00:05:47,830 --> 00:05:45,360 of shadow biome a kind of other humanoid 152 00:05:50,469 --> 00:05:47,840 species that's existed here perhaps in 153 00:05:52,310 --> 00:05:50,479 the oceans or whatnot whose 154 00:05:54,469 --> 00:05:52,320 history the length of their history the 155 00:05:56,550 --> 00:05:54,479 length of their civilization might be 156 00:05:58,790 --> 00:05:56,560 closer to ours because of that because 157 00:06:00,150 --> 00:05:58,800 they are also an earthly intelligence 158 00:06:01,830 --> 00:06:00,160 ultimately 159 00:06:03,510 --> 00:06:01,840 interesting implications to think about 160 00:06:05,430 --> 00:06:03,520 here 161 00:06:07,670 --> 00:06:05,440 now in terms of the original question 162 00:06:08,790 --> 00:06:07,680 around the chances that life is formed 163 00:06:10,710 --> 00:06:08,800 in the 164 00:06:12,629 --> 00:06:10,720 expanse of the cosmos 165 00:06:14,629 --> 00:06:12,639 at this point most scientists believe 166 00:06:17,110 --> 00:06:14,639 this is pretty much a slam dunk the 167 00:06:18,870 --> 00:06:17,120 numbers are just so astronomical pun 168 00:06:21,510 --> 00:06:18,880 intended that 169 00:06:23,270 --> 00:06:21,520 assuming that the chemical interactions 170 00:06:25,189 --> 00:06:23,280 across the universe are the same 171 00:06:27,029 --> 00:06:25,199 assuming that evolution would roll out 172 00:06:28,950 --> 00:06:27,039 under the same conditions generally 173 00:06:30,950 --> 00:06:28,960 although it would adapt differently 174 00:06:32,469 --> 00:06:30,960 depending on the specific environmental 175 00:06:35,670 --> 00:06:32,479 conditions of the planets in which it 176 00:06:37,990 --> 00:06:35,680 arose etc you would expect life to be 177 00:06:40,870 --> 00:06:38,000 prevalent throughout the cosmos in 178 00:06:42,629 --> 00:06:40,880 millions of planets easily and this of 179 00:06:45,749 --> 00:06:42,639 course leads to the so-called fermi 180 00:06:47,510 --> 00:06:45,759 paradox which says if life should be 181 00:06:49,510 --> 00:06:47,520 there why haven't we found it why 182 00:06:51,189 --> 00:06:49,520 haven't we seen any sign of it why have 183 00:06:53,189 --> 00:06:51,199 we not picked up any evidence that these 184 00:06:54,950 --> 00:06:53,199 civilizations exist 185 00:06:56,469 --> 00:06:54,960 now part of the problem there is that 186 00:06:58,550 --> 00:06:56,479 there are some assumptions made with the 187 00:07:00,629 --> 00:06:58,560 fermi paradox or behind the fermi 188 00:07:03,589 --> 00:07:00,639 paradox that have since been questioned 189 00:07:06,710 --> 00:07:03,599 by some groups for instance for a long 190 00:07:09,350 --> 00:07:06,720 time with our civilization as we grew in 191 00:07:12,309 --> 00:07:09,360 our sophistication and our technology 192 00:07:13,670 --> 00:07:12,319 our footprint became larger and larger 193 00:07:16,309 --> 00:07:13,680 it would have become more and more 194 00:07:19,189 --> 00:07:16,319 obvious to other planetary civilizations 195 00:07:21,510 --> 00:07:19,199 or other civilizations even existing in 196 00:07:23,430 --> 00:07:21,520 spacecraft perhaps permanently that we 197 00:07:27,029 --> 00:07:23,440 existed because we were putting out so 198 00:07:28,950 --> 00:07:27,039 much energy into the cosmos it became 199 00:07:30,710 --> 00:07:28,960 apparent that we were there 200 00:07:31,749 --> 00:07:30,720 but of course that also is tied to a 201 00:07:34,469 --> 00:07:31,759 certain 202 00:07:36,790 --> 00:07:34,479 level of development and as time goes on 203 00:07:40,230 --> 00:07:36,800 eventually that begins to change and as 204 00:07:43,270 --> 00:07:40,240 sophistication moves into its next epoch 205 00:07:45,430 --> 00:07:43,280 then actually the footprint can decrease 206 00:07:47,350 --> 00:07:45,440 and in fact there is some people who 207 00:07:50,390 --> 00:07:47,360 have even suggested that what we might 208 00:07:51,909 --> 00:07:50,400 have here is an example of so-called 209 00:07:55,749 --> 00:07:51,919 transcension 210 00:07:56,869 --> 00:07:55,759 actually addressed in one podcast 211 00:07:59,029 --> 00:07:56,879 episode 212 00:08:00,710 --> 00:07:59,039 suggests that at some point 213 00:08:02,790 --> 00:08:00,720 civilizations advance to the point where 214 00:08:05,110 --> 00:08:02,800 they can actually reduce their footprint 215 00:08:07,430 --> 00:08:05,120 they move into a micro environment 216 00:08:09,510 --> 00:08:07,440 because remember space and size is 217 00:08:12,469 --> 00:08:09,520 relative if you can make yourself 218 00:08:14,790 --> 00:08:12,479 microscopic if you can shrink down your 219 00:08:16,790 --> 00:08:14,800 entire footprint you reduce the amount 220 00:08:18,950 --> 00:08:16,800 of energy you have to produce to sustain 221 00:08:21,430 --> 00:08:18,960 yourselves and you could exist in a 222 00:08:23,510 --> 00:08:21,440 space that is so tiny that it becomes 223 00:08:25,350 --> 00:08:23,520 largely undetectable for any 224 00:08:28,550 --> 00:08:25,360 civilization that's still living in the 225 00:08:30,869 --> 00:08:28,560 previous kind of iteration 226 00:08:33,509 --> 00:08:30,879 another possibility and this is actually 227 00:08:35,829 --> 00:08:33,519 evidenced in the experiencer literature 228 00:08:37,909 --> 00:08:35,839 that some civilizations may progress to 229 00:08:41,029 --> 00:08:37,919 the point where they transcend the need 230 00:08:42,709 --> 00:08:41,039 for physical presence altogether 231 00:08:44,870 --> 00:08:42,719 that some of these light beings that 232 00:08:46,870 --> 00:08:44,880 have been encountered while some of them 233 00:08:48,630 --> 00:08:46,880 suggest they've always been that way 234 00:08:51,509 --> 00:08:48,640 others said at one point they had 235 00:08:53,910 --> 00:08:51,519 physical bodies and physical iterations 236 00:08:56,310 --> 00:08:53,920 but eventually they learned to transcend 237 00:08:57,829 --> 00:08:56,320 the physical realm altogether and of 238 00:08:59,990 --> 00:08:57,839 course if that happens then this would 239 00:09:02,630 --> 00:09:00,000 not be detectable for people looking 240 00:09:04,870 --> 00:09:02,640 with telescopes and sensor systems and 241 00:09:06,949 --> 00:09:04,880 whatnot on the physical plane 242 00:09:09,110 --> 00:09:06,959 so that gives you some ideas in terms of 243 00:09:10,949 --> 00:09:09,120 where they might be assuming again that 244 00:09:13,430 --> 00:09:10,959 life should be out there 245 00:09:15,269 --> 00:09:13,440 but again that initial question around 246 00:09:18,230 --> 00:09:15,279 what are the chances that they would 247 00:09:20,150 --> 00:09:18,240 have technology so similar to ours if 248 00:09:22,389 --> 00:09:20,160 they really are coming from extra 249 00:09:24,870 --> 00:09:22,399 planetary civilizations extra solar 250 00:09:26,790 --> 00:09:24,880 civilizations potentially even extra 251 00:09:29,030 --> 00:09:26,800 galactic civilizations 252 00:09:31,509 --> 00:09:29,040 yes indeed the chances are very low and 253 00:09:33,509 --> 00:09:31,519 i think we should be suspicious of that 254 00:09:35,910 --> 00:09:33,519 in fact people like jacques vallet have 255 00:09:38,550 --> 00:09:35,920 made that very point suggesting perhaps 256 00:09:41,190 --> 00:09:38,560 therefore the et hypothesis is too 257 00:09:43,829 --> 00:09:41,200 simplistic that something more complex 258 00:09:45,269 --> 00:09:43,839 and in his words interesting is what's 259 00:09:47,350 --> 00:09:45,279 going on 260 00:09:49,670 --> 00:09:47,360 all right time for our next question 261 00:09:51,910 --> 00:09:49,680 which is worded as follows 262 00:09:54,710 --> 00:09:51,920 hi exo thank you for your research and 263 00:09:57,509 --> 00:09:54,720 conversations in regards to this topic 264 00:09:59,590 --> 00:09:57,519 i had an experience in 2010 in new 265 00:10:01,910 --> 00:09:59,600 zealand which i now understand to have 266 00:10:04,630 --> 00:10:01,920 been a ce5 event 267 00:10:07,350 --> 00:10:04,640 in a nutshell i asked in my mind for 268 00:10:10,069 --> 00:10:07,360 proof of ufo existence and then pointed 269 00:10:11,750 --> 00:10:10,079 my camera in the sky 270 00:10:13,990 --> 00:10:11,760 in the very first shot i captured a 271 00:10:16,310 --> 00:10:14,000 photo of a structured craft with a 272 00:10:17,509 --> 00:10:16,320 pattern of lights and other anomalous 273 00:10:19,990 --> 00:10:17,519 details 274 00:10:22,389 --> 00:10:20,000 it was not there in the sky before or 275 00:10:25,350 --> 00:10:22,399 after i clicked the button but seems to 276 00:10:27,670 --> 00:10:25,360 have materialized just for this moment 277 00:10:30,150 --> 00:10:27,680 i did not see or hear anything at the 278 00:10:32,550 --> 00:10:30,160 actual moment of taking the photo 279 00:10:34,550 --> 00:10:32,560 my mind blew several times as i 280 00:10:36,710 --> 00:10:34,560 processed what had happened 281 00:10:39,670 --> 00:10:36,720 not only did i get personal verification 282 00:10:41,990 --> 00:10:39,680 of ufo slash uap reality 283 00:10:43,910 --> 00:10:42,000 i also had to wrap my head around the 284 00:10:45,750 --> 00:10:43,920 fact that they had demonstrated 285 00:10:48,630 --> 00:10:45,760 capabilities of some sort of time 286 00:10:51,110 --> 00:10:48,640 manipulation and mind reading 287 00:10:52,790 --> 00:10:51,120 even after 12 years i am often still 288 00:10:54,949 --> 00:10:52,800 shaken when i think about this and 289 00:10:57,509 --> 00:10:54,959 freely admit that it consumes a great 290 00:10:59,509 --> 00:10:57,519 part of my life slash time 291 00:11:01,430 --> 00:10:59,519 which leads to my question 292 00:11:02,470 --> 00:11:01,440 how does one move on from an experience 293 00:11:05,430 --> 00:11:02,480 like this 294 00:11:09,269 --> 00:11:05,440 the inevitable questions of who what how 295 00:11:11,430 --> 00:11:09,279 why seem unanswerable yet burn fiercely 296 00:11:13,190 --> 00:11:11,440 there is every extreme of theory slash 297 00:11:15,110 --> 00:11:13,200 explanation available 298 00:11:18,069 --> 00:11:15,120 what are experiencers supposed to do 299 00:11:20,389 --> 00:11:18,079 with their proof of god only knows what 300 00:11:21,910 --> 00:11:20,399 again i thank you any thoughts would be 301 00:11:23,990 --> 00:11:21,920 appreciated 302 00:11:25,990 --> 00:11:24,000 again another excellent question and a 303 00:11:26,870 --> 00:11:26,000 fascinating encounter that is reported 304 00:11:28,790 --> 00:11:26,880 here 305 00:11:31,509 --> 00:11:28,800 and i want us to pay close attention to 306 00:11:34,230 --> 00:11:31,519 what he said here quote i asked in my 307 00:11:37,110 --> 00:11:34,240 mind for proof of ufo existence and then 308 00:11:38,870 --> 00:11:37,120 pointed my camera in the sky in the very 309 00:11:40,550 --> 00:11:38,880 first shot i captured a photo of a 310 00:11:43,430 --> 00:11:40,560 structured craft with a pattern of 311 00:11:45,910 --> 00:11:43,440 lights and other anomalous details it 312 00:11:47,990 --> 00:11:45,920 was not there in the sky before or after 313 00:11:50,550 --> 00:11:48,000 i clicked the button but seems to have 314 00:11:52,550 --> 00:11:50,560 materialized just for this moment 315 00:11:54,829 --> 00:11:52,560 i did not see or hear anything at the 316 00:11:56,470 --> 00:11:54,839 actual moment of taking the photo 317 00:11:59,190 --> 00:11:56,480 unquote 318 00:12:01,190 --> 00:11:59,200 now this is really fascinating now of 319 00:12:03,750 --> 00:12:01,200 late i've been talking a lot about the 320 00:12:05,829 --> 00:12:03,760 nature of reality and how data arising 321 00:12:08,310 --> 00:12:05,839 from the ufo phenomenon and 322 00:12:09,990 --> 00:12:08,320 paranormality in general is suggesting 323 00:12:12,949 --> 00:12:10,000 that our current mainstream working 324 00:12:15,829 --> 00:12:12,959 model of reality is not only incomplete 325 00:12:18,150 --> 00:12:15,839 but also woefully misguided 326 00:12:21,269 --> 00:12:18,160 i think the details of cases like this 327 00:12:23,110 --> 00:12:21,279 demonstrate this point to the nth degree 328 00:12:25,590 --> 00:12:23,120 it's one thing for someone to send an 329 00:12:28,230 --> 00:12:25,600 intent to commune with ufo intelligence 330 00:12:30,550 --> 00:12:28,240 at some appointed time in the future 331 00:12:31,310 --> 00:12:30,560 it's another thing entirely for this to 332 00:12:32,870 --> 00:12:31,320 happen 333 00:12:35,190 --> 00:12:32,880 instantaneously 334 00:12:37,590 --> 00:12:35,200 this suggests our intention impacts 335 00:12:39,670 --> 00:12:37,600 reality i believe this is because 336 00:12:42,550 --> 00:12:39,680 ultimately the physical stuff that we 337 00:12:44,790 --> 00:12:42,560 think of as reality is really what's 338 00:12:46,150 --> 00:12:44,800 manifesting in a kind of shared dream 339 00:12:48,389 --> 00:12:46,160 space 340 00:12:51,350 --> 00:12:48,399 and again i think cases like this are a 341 00:12:53,750 --> 00:12:51,360 perfect example of why this is the case 342 00:12:55,829 --> 00:12:53,760 again if he was communicating with some 343 00:12:57,910 --> 00:12:55,839 sort of spacecraft out in space and 344 00:12:59,269 --> 00:12:57,920 saying hey at a certain time at 9 00 pm 345 00:13:00,870 --> 00:12:59,279 will you meet me at this place and 346 00:13:03,110 --> 00:13:00,880 manifest in the sky 347 00:13:04,790 --> 00:13:03,120 that's one thing that could be something 348 00:13:07,509 --> 00:13:04,800 we would expect within our current space 349 00:13:09,269 --> 00:13:07,519 space-time construct understanding of 350 00:13:11,150 --> 00:13:09,279 mainstream reality 351 00:13:13,590 --> 00:13:11,160 but in this case he asked 352 00:13:16,310 --> 00:13:13,600 instantaneously for something pointed 353 00:13:18,470 --> 00:13:16,320 his camera and managed to capture a 354 00:13:20,550 --> 00:13:18,480 photo so it's not even that it just was 355 00:13:22,230 --> 00:13:20,560 projected into his consciousness as 356 00:13:24,829 --> 00:13:22,240 again some people have suggested might 357 00:13:26,710 --> 00:13:24,839 be happening here no in this case 358 00:13:29,509 --> 00:13:26,720 instantaneously he sends out an 359 00:13:32,069 --> 00:13:29,519 intention and then is able to capture in 360 00:13:33,430 --> 00:13:32,079 our supposed physical reality an actual 361 00:13:35,590 --> 00:13:33,440 photograph 362 00:13:37,590 --> 00:13:35,600 again i think what this points to is 363 00:13:40,310 --> 00:13:37,600 that what we think of as the physical 364 00:13:42,710 --> 00:13:40,320 world is ultimately not really that 365 00:13:45,269 --> 00:13:42,720 that's the appearance to us that's how 366 00:13:48,550 --> 00:13:45,279 we experience it but ultimately it's a 367 00:13:50,870 --> 00:13:48,560 mindscape a dream space that we share 368 00:13:53,110 --> 00:13:50,880 and that some of these others can 369 00:13:55,430 --> 00:13:53,120 interact with that dreamscape with that 370 00:13:59,030 --> 00:13:55,440 mind space can interact with our 371 00:14:01,750 --> 00:13:59,040 mentation process directly but the key 372 00:14:03,670 --> 00:14:01,760 is that reality follows the mentation 373 00:14:06,310 --> 00:14:03,680 not the other way around 374 00:14:08,150 --> 00:14:06,320 so again notions like time and space 375 00:14:10,230 --> 00:14:08,160 that's how things appear to us that's 376 00:14:12,150 --> 00:14:10,240 how we experience them but that's not 377 00:14:13,990 --> 00:14:12,160 their ultimate nature i think the 378 00:14:17,189 --> 00:14:14,000 ultimate nature is more like a kind of 379 00:14:19,110 --> 00:14:17,199 shared dreamscape as i've said again you 380 00:14:21,590 --> 00:14:19,120 can think about a dream when you're in a 381 00:14:23,670 --> 00:14:21,600 dream it feels real it feels like it's 382 00:14:26,629 --> 00:14:23,680 happening on a certain progression of 383 00:14:29,269 --> 00:14:26,639 time the time scale has a consistency to 384 00:14:32,069 --> 00:14:29,279 it space feels real there and yet we 385 00:14:34,389 --> 00:14:32,079 know none of that is actually physical 386 00:14:37,110 --> 00:14:34,399 in and of itself it's actually a 387 00:14:39,269 --> 00:14:37,120 projection of mind stuff ultimately 388 00:14:41,110 --> 00:14:39,279 that's what happens when we dream and 389 00:14:43,990 --> 00:14:41,120 what i'm suggesting here is that our 390 00:14:45,829 --> 00:14:44,000 everyday waking world is the same we 391 00:14:47,990 --> 00:14:45,839 just don't realize it 392 00:14:50,310 --> 00:14:48,000 and i think cases like this one point 393 00:14:52,310 --> 00:14:50,320 squarely in this direction 394 00:14:53,829 --> 00:14:52,320 now in terms of how one moves on from an 395 00:14:56,069 --> 00:14:53,839 experience like this 396 00:14:58,310 --> 00:14:56,079 i feel for you here this is a conundrum 397 00:15:00,710 --> 00:14:58,320 that most experiences go through many do 398 00:15:03,110 --> 00:15:00,720 anyway it's the ontological shock we've 399 00:15:05,670 --> 00:15:03,120 talked about many times because the 400 00:15:07,110 --> 00:15:05,680 implications are very often paradigm 401 00:15:09,030 --> 00:15:07,120 shattering 402 00:15:11,430 --> 00:15:09,040 but i'm concurring with that here i'm 403 00:15:13,430 --> 00:15:11,440 saying a new paradigm is in order that's 404 00:15:16,310 --> 00:15:13,440 what this data is suggesting 405 00:15:18,470 --> 00:15:16,320 i don't see any other way around it 406 00:15:20,470 --> 00:15:18,480 in my case this has been easier because 407 00:15:23,189 --> 00:15:20,480 i see this being supported by diverse 408 00:15:25,590 --> 00:15:23,199 but convergent lines of evidence arising 409 00:15:27,829 --> 00:15:25,600 in quantum mechanics which showed 100 410 00:15:29,350 --> 00:15:27,839 years ago that consciousness impacts 411 00:15:31,189 --> 00:15:29,360 reality directly 412 00:15:32,629 --> 00:15:31,199 and fields like the neuroscience of 413 00:15:35,110 --> 00:15:32,639 consciousness 414 00:15:37,509 --> 00:15:35,120 lines of evidence in parapsychology have 415 00:15:40,150 --> 00:15:37,519 been pointing in this direction for over 416 00:15:42,870 --> 00:15:40,160 100 years so it's not like i'm 417 00:15:45,110 --> 00:15:42,880 postulating this hypothesis about 418 00:15:47,670 --> 00:15:45,120 reality being ultimately mental mind 419 00:15:50,870 --> 00:15:47,680 stuff to make sense just of the ufo 420 00:15:53,749 --> 00:15:50,880 phenomenon data no i'm saying diverse 421 00:15:55,509 --> 00:15:53,759 but convergent fields are all pointing 422 00:15:56,870 --> 00:15:55,519 in this direction that's what makes the 423 00:15:59,829 --> 00:15:56,880 hypothesis 424 00:16:01,829 --> 00:15:59,839 so explanatory powerful 425 00:16:04,550 --> 00:16:01,839 all right on to question number three 426 00:16:06,870 --> 00:16:04,560 which is worded as follows 427 00:16:08,790 --> 00:16:06,880 as we move forward how much of an aha 428 00:16:11,189 --> 00:16:08,800 moment do you think the collective minds 429 00:16:14,069 --> 00:16:11,199 will have in understanding we have built 430 00:16:16,069 --> 00:16:14,079 our reality based on outdated parental 431 00:16:17,910 --> 00:16:16,079 cultural information 432 00:16:19,829 --> 00:16:17,920 that while it is comforting to have a 433 00:16:21,430 --> 00:16:19,839 sense of history and respect for what 434 00:16:23,350 --> 00:16:21,440 has come before us 435 00:16:26,069 --> 00:16:23,360 the future is being able to see what we 436 00:16:27,749 --> 00:16:26,079 haven't seen before literally 437 00:16:30,069 --> 00:16:27,759 the current metaphor the universe is 438 00:16:31,829 --> 00:16:30,079 showing us is how people can be fed the 439 00:16:35,670 --> 00:16:31,839 projected reality from a very 440 00:16:37,590 --> 00:16:35,680 controlling mind sociopath psychopath 441 00:16:40,310 --> 00:16:37,600 and they base their reality on what they 442 00:16:42,389 --> 00:16:40,320 are told afraid to question it 443 00:16:44,470 --> 00:16:42,399 from russia to north korea to 444 00:16:46,550 --> 00:16:44,480 authoritarian religions 445 00:16:48,949 --> 00:16:46,560 we as a global society are just now 446 00:16:50,710 --> 00:16:48,959 learning to identify those in our groups 447 00:16:53,509 --> 00:16:50,720 who are manipulating the reality of 448 00:16:56,389 --> 00:16:53,519 others to protect their fragile egos and 449 00:16:58,870 --> 00:16:56,399 their desire for power over others 450 00:17:01,509 --> 00:16:58,880 as a contact tea this is the purpose for 451 00:17:03,990 --> 00:17:01,519 being here lessons assigned and lessons 452 00:17:06,390 --> 00:17:04,000 learned we are able to see things as 453 00:17:09,189 --> 00:17:06,400 they are rather than how we've been told 454 00:17:11,270 --> 00:17:09,199 they are and understand the difference 455 00:17:13,990 --> 00:17:11,280 in the end the data point you allow in 456 00:17:16,230 --> 00:17:14,000 your mind becomes your reality be it 457 00:17:17,829 --> 00:17:16,240 false or true 458 00:17:19,829 --> 00:17:17,839 yet another insightful and 459 00:17:21,669 --> 00:17:19,839 thought-provoking question 460 00:17:23,110 --> 00:17:21,679 and this again speaks to what i was just 461 00:17:26,150 --> 00:17:23,120 referring to 462 00:17:28,470 --> 00:17:26,160 now some will question this arguing if 463 00:17:30,950 --> 00:17:28,480 reality is really what we make it why 464 00:17:34,150 --> 00:17:30,960 can't we fly on a whim or walk through 465 00:17:36,310 --> 00:17:34,160 walls like jesus or aliens can 466 00:17:38,710 --> 00:17:36,320 well first off we live within 467 00:17:41,430 --> 00:17:38,720 overlapping shared mindscape slash 468 00:17:43,669 --> 00:17:41,440 dreamscapes and when it is a shared 469 00:17:46,630 --> 00:17:43,679 inherited mindscape it is being 470 00:17:49,029 --> 00:17:46,640 strengthened and maintained by a very 471 00:17:51,110 --> 00:17:49,039 ingrained feedback loop 472 00:17:54,070 --> 00:17:51,120 it has a kind of inertia that makes 473 00:17:55,750 --> 00:17:54,080 fighting against its reality construct 474 00:17:58,390 --> 00:17:55,760 very difficult 475 00:18:01,110 --> 00:17:58,400 however it can happen clearly we have 476 00:18:03,270 --> 00:18:01,120 examples of this as i already pointed to 477 00:18:05,350 --> 00:18:03,280 jesus and aliens 478 00:18:07,750 --> 00:18:05,360 interestingly the implication here is 479 00:18:08,950 --> 00:18:07,760 that as more people learn to see reality 480 00:18:11,510 --> 00:18:08,960 this way 481 00:18:13,750 --> 00:18:11,520 the less this strengthens the energy 482 00:18:16,230 --> 00:18:13,760 feeding the feedback loop 483 00:18:18,789 --> 00:18:16,240 and what does this eventually lead to 484 00:18:21,270 --> 00:18:18,799 a dissolution of the boundaries of the 485 00:18:23,909 --> 00:18:21,280 construct in other words reality 486 00:18:26,870 --> 00:18:23,919 maintains its supposed objective 487 00:18:29,270 --> 00:18:26,880 strength its solidity only as long as we 488 00:18:32,710 --> 00:18:29,280 believe in it when enough people begin 489 00:18:35,669 --> 00:18:32,720 to question it then that inertia lessens 490 00:18:36,870 --> 00:18:35,679 and the construct itself begins to 491 00:18:43,270 --> 00:18:36,880 dissolve 492 00:18:44,870 --> 00:18:43,280 would say that happens over time 493 00:18:47,590 --> 00:18:44,880 something else i'd like to say in 494 00:18:50,710 --> 00:18:47,600 regards to this comes down to a podcast 495 00:18:52,310 --> 00:18:50,720 episode i did on spiral dynamics and in 496 00:18:54,390 --> 00:18:52,320 that episode i talked about how 497 00:18:57,110 --> 00:18:54,400 different world views different 498 00:18:59,909 --> 00:18:57,120 consciousness levels come online over 499 00:19:02,390 --> 00:18:59,919 time and the way that people see reality 500 00:19:03,909 --> 00:19:02,400 changes and i would suggest also along 501 00:19:06,230 --> 00:19:03,919 with what i'm saying here 502 00:19:09,029 --> 00:19:06,240 that reality itself changes that the 503 00:19:11,430 --> 00:19:09,039 construct is to some degree a mirror 504 00:19:13,029 --> 00:19:11,440 image of the conception 505 00:19:16,070 --> 00:19:13,039 so again as i pointed out in that 506 00:19:18,230 --> 00:19:16,080 podcast episode what is self-evident 507 00:19:20,950 --> 00:19:18,240 truth will vary depending on your 508 00:19:22,870 --> 00:19:20,960 worldview the very way you see the world 509 00:19:24,870 --> 00:19:22,880 and also the way actually the world 510 00:19:27,270 --> 00:19:24,880 reflects itself back to you the way 511 00:19:28,150 --> 00:19:27,280 reality is actually constructed around 512 00:19:30,150 --> 00:19:28,160 you 513 00:19:33,110 --> 00:19:30,160 and along with that we sometimes see 514 00:19:35,110 --> 00:19:33,120 something called the pre-trans fallacy 515 00:19:37,909 --> 00:19:35,120 what this means is that if you've 516 00:19:39,590 --> 00:19:37,919 transcended to a new level to someone at 517 00:19:41,430 --> 00:19:39,600 a lower level it actually might look 518 00:19:43,990 --> 00:19:41,440 like you've regressed to a previous 519 00:19:45,990 --> 00:19:44,000 level and that's because they can't see 520 00:19:48,230 --> 00:19:46,000 beyond the ceiling of their own 521 00:19:50,310 --> 00:19:48,240 consciousness level so if you've 522 00:19:52,070 --> 00:19:50,320 transcended that that literally doesn't 523 00:19:53,430 --> 00:19:52,080 exist for them it's not part of their 524 00:19:55,350 --> 00:19:53,440 mental map 525 00:19:57,830 --> 00:19:55,360 that's what this person was talking 526 00:20:00,310 --> 00:19:57,840 about here when this is new literally 527 00:20:02,310 --> 00:20:00,320 new and for someone who's not there it 528 00:20:05,350 --> 00:20:02,320 won't even exist yet and so they'll 529 00:20:07,510 --> 00:20:05,360 often misidentify it as a previous level 530 00:20:09,270 --> 00:20:07,520 a previous construct so they'll think 531 00:20:11,110 --> 00:20:09,280 someone's being magical in their 532 00:20:13,110 --> 00:20:11,120 thinking as if they're regressing to 533 00:20:15,830 --> 00:20:13,120 kind of a stone age kind of thinking 534 00:20:18,950 --> 00:20:15,840 when actually it's a transcension and an 535 00:20:22,070 --> 00:20:18,960 inclusion embodied in a higher level of 536 00:20:26,310 --> 00:20:23,909 all right time for our next question 537 00:20:28,230 --> 00:20:26,320 which is worded as follows 538 00:20:30,149 --> 00:20:28,240 does the literature indicate a strong 539 00:20:33,110 --> 00:20:30,159 relationship between an experiencer's 540 00:20:36,149 --> 00:20:33,120 nature positive slash negative or state 541 00:20:38,710 --> 00:20:36,159 of mind peace versus turmoil and the 542 00:20:40,789 --> 00:20:38,720 nature of their experience if so what 543 00:20:43,750 --> 00:20:40,799 are the implications of this information 544 00:20:45,590 --> 00:20:43,760 for our understanding of the phenomenon 545 00:20:48,070 --> 00:20:45,600 another great question 546 00:20:50,390 --> 00:20:48,080 yes there is a correlation there i've 547 00:20:52,950 --> 00:20:50,400 talked about this on numerous occasions 548 00:20:55,270 --> 00:20:52,960 what we prime and experience with often 549 00:20:57,190 --> 00:20:55,280 does produce demonstrably different 550 00:20:58,470 --> 00:20:57,200 kinds of experiences with the ufo 551 00:21:00,470 --> 00:20:58,480 phenomenon 552 00:21:03,590 --> 00:21:00,480 but very importantly this is not only 553 00:21:05,750 --> 00:21:03,600 true of the ufo phenomenon this is also 554 00:21:08,310 --> 00:21:05,760 true of out-of-body experiences and to 555 00:21:10,630 --> 00:21:08,320 some extent near-death experiences 556 00:21:12,310 --> 00:21:10,640 and is certainly true of drug induced 557 00:21:14,149 --> 00:21:12,320 experiences as well 558 00:21:16,950 --> 00:21:14,159 like when people are under the influence 559 00:21:20,310 --> 00:21:16,960 of psilocybin or dmt 560 00:21:23,350 --> 00:21:20,320 all of these are subtle reality states 561 00:21:26,390 --> 00:21:23,360 and as such are impacted changed and to 562 00:21:28,870 --> 00:21:26,400 some degree written by way of the nature 563 00:21:30,710 --> 00:21:28,880 of the energy we bring to them that we 564 00:21:33,590 --> 00:21:30,720 invest into them 565 00:21:36,149 --> 00:21:33,600 again this revelation points squarely at 566 00:21:38,549 --> 00:21:36,159 reality it's not that these experiences 567 00:21:40,870 --> 00:21:38,559 are less real they are simply more 568 00:21:42,950 --> 00:21:40,880 malleable because they are not subject 569 00:21:45,350 --> 00:21:42,960 to the inertia of the consensus 570 00:21:47,350 --> 00:21:45,360 consciousness feedback loop 571 00:21:49,830 --> 00:21:47,360 again what i'm saying here is that it's 572 00:21:52,950 --> 00:21:49,840 not that our normal waking reality is 573 00:21:55,110 --> 00:21:52,960 immune to this kind of influence by our 574 00:21:57,990 --> 00:21:55,120 energy it's just that it is held 575 00:22:00,710 --> 00:21:58,000 together strengthened sustained by a 576 00:22:03,190 --> 00:22:00,720 collective consciousness that we all 577 00:22:05,430 --> 00:22:03,200 contribute to and therefore any one 578 00:22:07,190 --> 00:22:05,440 person's individual influence is not 579 00:22:09,909 --> 00:22:07,200 going to be as strong 580 00:22:12,070 --> 00:22:09,919 in these subtle reality states this is 581 00:22:14,390 --> 00:22:12,080 the case that the energy we bring really 582 00:22:16,950 --> 00:22:14,400 can prime the experience either for the 583 00:22:19,270 --> 00:22:16,960 negative or for the positive and by the 584 00:22:21,270 --> 00:22:19,280 way this also is true when it comes to 585 00:22:23,590 --> 00:22:21,280 something like lucid dreams for instance 586 00:22:25,510 --> 00:22:23,600 when you prepare to have a lucid dream 587 00:22:27,510 --> 00:22:25,520 you'll be told that it's important to be 588 00:22:29,909 --> 00:22:27,520 aware of your energy to go in with 589 00:22:31,270 --> 00:22:29,919 positivity if you have a lot of negative 590 00:22:33,909 --> 00:22:31,280 energy or 591 00:22:35,830 --> 00:22:33,919 doubt or fear it's often suggested that 592 00:22:37,830 --> 00:22:35,840 you try and work through that first 593 00:22:40,390 --> 00:22:37,840 transmute that into a different kind of 594 00:22:42,710 --> 00:22:40,400 energy more positive or at least neutral 595 00:22:45,190 --> 00:22:42,720 before going into a subtle reality state 596 00:22:47,909 --> 00:22:45,200 like a lucid dream because again the 597 00:22:50,230 --> 00:22:47,919 energy you bring ends up being written 598 00:22:51,350 --> 00:22:50,240 into the plot so to speak of what you 599 00:22:53,750 --> 00:22:51,360 experience 600 00:22:56,710 --> 00:22:53,760 and yes this is true also of the ufo 601 00:22:58,470 --> 00:22:56,720 phenomenon very interesting 602 00:23:00,149 --> 00:22:58,480 and the implications go beyond what 603 00:23:01,990 --> 00:23:00,159 we've mentioned so far 604 00:23:05,270 --> 00:23:02,000 there is very interesting data that's 605 00:23:07,750 --> 00:23:05,280 come out of research into reincarnation 606 00:23:09,909 --> 00:23:07,760 there have been academic studies done in 607 00:23:13,270 --> 00:23:09,919 the united states where they basically 608 00:23:15,350 --> 00:23:13,280 gather information data pertaining to 609 00:23:18,149 --> 00:23:15,360 cases where people have really strong 610 00:23:19,750 --> 00:23:18,159 memories of being reincarnated 611 00:23:21,669 --> 00:23:19,760 and what they find when they are 612 00:23:23,270 --> 00:23:21,679 actually able to track back the previous 613 00:23:26,230 --> 00:23:23,280 lifetime match it up with a new 614 00:23:27,350 --> 00:23:26,240 iteration and see how long the gap was 615 00:23:30,070 --> 00:23:27,360 between 616 00:23:31,669 --> 00:23:30,080 lifetimes what they have found very 617 00:23:33,750 --> 00:23:31,679 interestingly is that there is a 618 00:23:36,710 --> 00:23:33,760 difference depending on where you are in 619 00:23:39,510 --> 00:23:36,720 the world for instance in asian cultures 620 00:23:41,190 --> 00:23:39,520 the length of time in between lives is 621 00:23:43,669 --> 00:23:41,200 different than what you find in north 622 00:23:45,909 --> 00:23:43,679 american cultures now when you think 623 00:23:47,669 --> 00:23:45,919 about this it seems that the data is 624 00:23:50,789 --> 00:23:47,679 suggesting that the cultural 625 00:23:53,990 --> 00:23:50,799 underpinnings themselves seem to play a 626 00:23:57,029 --> 00:23:54,000 role i.e can impact and to some degree 627 00:24:00,310 --> 00:23:57,039 author the nature of the in-between life 628 00:24:02,870 --> 00:24:00,320 states what entities are seen etc as 629 00:24:06,310 --> 00:24:02,880 well as how long the interval is in 630 00:24:07,750 --> 00:24:06,320 between incarnations so again yes the 631 00:24:09,909 --> 00:24:07,760 energy we bring 632 00:24:11,750 --> 00:24:09,919 really does play a role in many 633 00:24:14,149 --> 00:24:11,760 different ways not just in terms of the 634 00:24:15,830 --> 00:24:14,159 ufo phenomenon not just in terms of 635 00:24:17,590 --> 00:24:15,840 out-of-body experiences but also 636 00:24:21,029 --> 00:24:17,600 near-death experiences 637 00:24:23,909 --> 00:24:21,039 lucid dreams even what we experience in 638 00:24:26,870 --> 00:24:23,919 between lives can be impacted by the 639 00:24:29,990 --> 00:24:26,880 energy we bring both as individuals and 640 00:24:32,549 --> 00:24:30,000 as collective cultures that we belong to 641 00:24:34,710 --> 00:24:32,559 again very very interesting 642 00:24:37,029 --> 00:24:34,720 and i hope you're seeing the overarching 643 00:24:39,029 --> 00:24:37,039 theme in this episode in many of these 644 00:24:41,990 --> 00:24:39,039 different questions the way i've 645 00:24:44,230 --> 00:24:42,000 responded is indicating again the 646 00:24:46,549 --> 00:24:44,240 reality is much more malleable than we 647 00:24:49,510 --> 00:24:46,559 have long assumed it to be and that it 648 00:24:51,590 --> 00:24:49,520 is not primarily physical that the 649 00:24:53,830 --> 00:24:51,600 supposed physical nature of reality is 650 00:24:56,549 --> 00:24:53,840 more like the appearance of it think of 651 00:24:58,470 --> 00:24:56,559 the physicality more like stage props in 652 00:25:00,870 --> 00:24:58,480 a staged production 653 00:25:01,830 --> 00:25:00,880 meant to play a role but not ultimately 654 00:25:04,710 --> 00:25:01,840 real 655 00:25:07,350 --> 00:25:04,720 or at least not ultimately foundational 656 00:25:09,990 --> 00:25:07,360 mind or consciousness is what is primary 657 00:25:13,029 --> 00:25:10,000 that is the substrate to the physical 658 00:25:15,269 --> 00:25:13,039 and energetic processes that arise on 659 00:25:17,909 --> 00:25:15,279 the stage so to speak 660 00:25:20,710 --> 00:25:17,919 but underlying it it is a mentation 661 00:25:23,750 --> 00:25:20,720 process a shared mentation process and 662 00:25:26,950 --> 00:25:23,760 we both as individuals and as collective 663 00:25:31,430 --> 00:25:26,960 units can impact it can even write its 664 00:25:33,190 --> 00:25:31,440 very plot at least to some degree 665 00:25:35,430 --> 00:25:33,200 all right time for our next question 666 00:25:36,950 --> 00:25:35,440 which goes as follows 667 00:25:38,950 --> 00:25:36,960 is there a frame of reference or 668 00:25:40,870 --> 00:25:38,960 historical context that could help us 669 00:25:43,110 --> 00:25:40,880 shed some light on the bizarre 670 00:25:45,510 --> 00:25:43,120 phenomenon of wolf-like creatures 671 00:25:47,909 --> 00:25:45,520 appearing to people who have come close 672 00:25:50,390 --> 00:25:47,919 to the phenomenon how might this relate 673 00:25:52,390 --> 00:25:50,400 to the idea of a thin veil between 674 00:25:54,230 --> 00:25:52,400 dimensions 675 00:25:55,750 --> 00:25:54,240 another great question of course it fits 676 00:25:58,630 --> 00:25:55,760 perfectly with what we've been talking 677 00:26:01,110 --> 00:25:58,640 about today the overall theme 678 00:26:03,990 --> 00:26:01,120 now what i would suggest is dimensions 679 00:26:06,310 --> 00:26:04,000 are different fields of mentation 680 00:26:08,789 --> 00:26:06,320 some fed by and sustained by fewer 681 00:26:11,430 --> 00:26:08,799 inputs and some fed and sustained by 682 00:26:14,149 --> 00:26:11,440 greater inputs but what's ultimately 683 00:26:17,190 --> 00:26:14,159 dividing these different aspects of 684 00:26:19,750 --> 00:26:17,200 reality these different dimensions are 685 00:26:20,789 --> 00:26:19,760 mental processes that this is all about 686 00:26:23,269 --> 00:26:20,799 mind 687 00:26:25,430 --> 00:26:23,279 now the wall slash barriers slash 688 00:26:28,070 --> 00:26:25,440 boundaries between these fields of 689 00:26:29,430 --> 00:26:28,080 mentation or dimensions if you like 690 00:26:31,750 --> 00:26:29,440 are porous 691 00:26:35,350 --> 00:26:31,760 and some intelligences evidently know 692 00:26:37,350 --> 00:26:35,360 how to traverse these divides with ease 693 00:26:39,590 --> 00:26:37,360 now interestingly what seems to happen 694 00:26:42,070 --> 00:26:39,600 is that sometimes when one kind of 695 00:26:44,310 --> 00:26:42,080 intelligence passes through that porous 696 00:26:46,789 --> 00:26:44,320 barrier it seems to 697 00:26:50,230 --> 00:26:46,799 put a foot in the door so to speak which 698 00:26:53,110 --> 00:26:50,240 allows a variety of intelligences 699 00:26:55,190 --> 00:26:53,120 entities different fields of mentation 700 00:26:58,070 --> 00:26:55,200 or intelligences belonging to those 701 00:27:00,549 --> 00:26:58,080 dimensions to come in as well so that's 702 00:27:02,390 --> 00:27:00,559 why you sometimes find ufos and then 703 00:27:05,350 --> 00:27:02,400 suddenly you find sasquatch-like 704 00:27:08,149 --> 00:27:05,360 creatures or dinosaur-like creatures or 705 00:27:10,149 --> 00:27:08,159 seven-foot tall wolf-like creatures that 706 00:27:12,310 --> 00:27:10,159 stand on two legs often and have 707 00:27:14,789 --> 00:27:12,320 sometimes been spotted smoking 708 00:27:16,710 --> 00:27:14,799 cigarettes leaning against a light post 709 00:27:19,190 --> 00:27:16,720 sounds bizarre but this has been 710 00:27:21,510 --> 00:27:19,200 reported by credible witnesses and was 711 00:27:24,149 --> 00:27:21,520 part of the study done 712 00:27:26,470 --> 00:27:24,159 by asap funded by the united states 713 00:27:28,870 --> 00:27:26,480 government as depicted in the book 714 00:27:31,510 --> 00:27:28,880 skinwalkers at the pentagon 715 00:27:33,190 --> 00:27:31,520 now what i'm suggesting here is that 716 00:27:36,389 --> 00:27:33,200 regarding these different kinds of 717 00:27:39,269 --> 00:27:36,399 entities they are all coming through 718 00:27:41,510 --> 00:27:39,279 a door that's been held open so to speak 719 00:27:43,350 --> 00:27:41,520 a porous boundary between these 720 00:27:45,350 --> 00:27:43,360 different fields of mentation these 721 00:27:47,990 --> 00:27:45,360 different mind spaces these different 722 00:27:50,149 --> 00:27:48,000 dreamscapes that we sometimes think of 723 00:27:51,750 --> 00:27:50,159 as dimensions 724 00:27:54,149 --> 00:27:51,760 but again i think dimensions is 725 00:27:56,870 --> 00:27:54,159 sometimes the wrong word if we mean it 726 00:27:59,029 --> 00:27:56,880 in terms of strong physicality strong 727 00:28:01,269 --> 00:27:59,039 objective physicality being the root of 728 00:28:03,590 --> 00:28:01,279 reality i don't think it is i think 729 00:28:06,950 --> 00:28:03,600 again mind consciousness is what 730 00:28:08,870 --> 00:28:06,960 ultimately authors what we experience 731 00:28:11,190 --> 00:28:08,880 and in that sense a dimension is more 732 00:28:13,669 --> 00:28:11,200 like a field of mentation or a mind 733 00:28:15,669 --> 00:28:13,679 space or a dreamscape 734 00:28:17,590 --> 00:28:15,679 but in terms of these porous boundaries 735 00:28:20,470 --> 00:28:17,600 that emerge in the same way that i said 736 00:28:23,029 --> 00:28:20,480 before that our collective mentality 737 00:28:25,190 --> 00:28:23,039 creates the energy vortex 738 00:28:26,950 --> 00:28:25,200 that strengthens and sustains this 739 00:28:28,789 --> 00:28:26,960 feedback loop that gives us our 740 00:28:31,029 --> 00:28:28,799 experience of reality 741 00:28:33,909 --> 00:28:31,039 in the same way when one entity has 742 00:28:36,470 --> 00:28:33,919 passed through these mentation spaces or 743 00:28:38,630 --> 00:28:36,480 these dimensions if you like that 744 00:28:41,669 --> 00:28:38,640 actually strengthens that energetic 745 00:28:43,909 --> 00:28:41,679 signature so that it's more possible for 746 00:28:46,230 --> 00:28:43,919 other entities other intelligences 747 00:28:49,269 --> 00:28:46,240 coming from different mentation spaces 748 00:28:51,510 --> 00:28:49,279 or dimensions to use that same corridor 749 00:28:53,430 --> 00:28:51,520 or that same porous boundary that's what 750 00:28:55,110 --> 00:28:53,440 i think we're finding when we look at 751 00:28:57,110 --> 00:28:55,120 things like portals in a place like 752 00:28:58,870 --> 00:28:57,120 skinwalker ranch 753 00:29:00,710 --> 00:28:58,880 i also want to make the point here as 754 00:29:03,190 --> 00:29:00,720 i've said before on this podcast on 755 00:29:05,029 --> 00:29:03,200 numerous occasions i think multiple 756 00:29:06,950 --> 00:29:05,039 players are involved in the ufo 757 00:29:09,350 --> 00:29:06,960 phenomenon i think different actors are 758 00:29:12,389 --> 00:29:09,360 involved with different sources or 759 00:29:14,230 --> 00:29:12,399 origins so again extraterrestrials may 760 00:29:16,549 --> 00:29:14,240 very well be in the picture i think they 761 00:29:18,870 --> 00:29:16,559 likely are i'm just saying that when we 762 00:29:21,350 --> 00:29:18,880 talk about interdimensionals and them 763 00:29:24,870 --> 00:29:21,360 being in the picture i think the notion 764 00:29:26,789 --> 00:29:24,880 there in terms of dimensions uh that's 765 00:29:28,950 --> 00:29:26,799 attached to the idea of a parallel 766 00:29:31,190 --> 00:29:28,960 universe which again is still a product 767 00:29:33,190 --> 00:29:31,200 to the same underlying physicalist 768 00:29:34,870 --> 00:29:33,200 paradigm and so that's why i think 769 00:29:35,669 --> 00:29:34,880 actually that's a bit of a misnomer i 770 00:29:37,669 --> 00:29:35,679 think 771 00:29:39,990 --> 00:29:37,679 a dimension in this sense is more like a 772 00:29:42,710 --> 00:29:40,000 field of mentation that again these 773 00:29:44,789 --> 00:29:42,720 different places of mind mindscapes 774 00:29:46,149 --> 00:29:44,799 dreamscapes if you will 775 00:29:48,950 --> 00:29:46,159 i also want to make the point again that 776 00:29:50,630 --> 00:29:48,960 when i say i believe what i mean is i 777 00:29:52,470 --> 00:29:50,640 think this is where the evidence is 778 00:29:55,110 --> 00:29:52,480 clearly pointing that this is not just 779 00:29:57,669 --> 00:29:55,120 my opinion and not just in terms of the 780 00:29:59,669 --> 00:29:57,679 data arising from the ufo phenomenon and 781 00:30:01,510 --> 00:29:59,679 other forms of high strangeness 782 00:30:03,430 --> 00:30:01,520 but this is the evidence arising from 783 00:30:05,510 --> 00:30:03,440 the foundations of physics and the 784 00:30:07,350 --> 00:30:05,520 neuroscience of consciousness so again 785 00:30:09,190 --> 00:30:07,360 diverse but converging fields of 786 00:30:12,470 --> 00:30:09,200 evidence are all pointing in this 787 00:30:15,269 --> 00:30:12,480 direction where consciousness is primary 788 00:30:18,070 --> 00:30:15,279 where mind stuff is what reality is 789 00:30:19,990 --> 00:30:18,080 ultimately composed of 790 00:30:21,909 --> 00:30:20,000 lastly i think it's important to add 791 00:30:24,389 --> 00:30:21,919 that this is a lot to wrap our heads 792 00:30:26,789 --> 00:30:24,399 around again we've been taught certain 793 00:30:28,070 --> 00:30:26,799 things and certain notions of reality 794 00:30:29,909 --> 00:30:28,080 have existed 795 00:30:31,669 --> 00:30:29,919 in our consensus reality and what's 796 00:30:33,830 --> 00:30:31,679 communicated to us through mainstream 797 00:30:37,110 --> 00:30:33,840 media and whatnot and mainstream 798 00:30:39,190 --> 00:30:37,120 academia for a very very long time 799 00:30:41,110 --> 00:30:39,200 and that's the case even though as i've 800 00:30:43,110 --> 00:30:41,120 been pointing out for a while now there 801 00:30:46,310 --> 00:30:43,120 is mounting evidence suggesting that 802 00:30:48,950 --> 00:30:46,320 that mainstream conception of reality is 803 00:30:50,470 --> 00:30:48,960 not correct it's not just slightly in 804 00:30:53,430 --> 00:30:50,480 error but actually 805 00:30:55,190 --> 00:30:53,440 misguided at its root that ultimately 806 00:30:57,029 --> 00:30:55,200 the physicalist paradigm or 807 00:31:01,590 --> 00:30:57,039 reductionistic materialism whatever you 808 00:31:03,909 --> 00:31:01,600 want to call it is ultimately untenable 809 00:31:06,310 --> 00:31:03,919 so what am i saying am i saying we are 810 00:31:09,029 --> 00:31:06,320 on the cusp of a revolution are we about 811 00:31:10,470 --> 00:31:09,039 to see a mainstream acceptance of these 812 00:31:12,710 --> 00:31:10,480 notions 813 00:31:14,630 --> 00:31:12,720 not likely not in the short term 814 00:31:18,149 --> 00:31:14,640 although we are beginning to see a 815 00:31:19,990 --> 00:31:18,159 fraying of the previous confidence in 816 00:31:22,470 --> 00:31:20,000 the mainstream notion of reality the 817 00:31:24,870 --> 00:31:22,480 physicalist paradigm ironically many of 818 00:31:27,590 --> 00:31:24,880 the people who ardently 819 00:31:30,149 --> 00:31:27,600 passionately defend physicalism 820 00:31:32,310 --> 00:31:30,159 don't actually fully understand it 821 00:31:35,430 --> 00:31:32,320 and in that sense they're more defending 822 00:31:37,509 --> 00:31:35,440 a tradition or a dogma than they are 823 00:31:40,870 --> 00:31:37,519 evidence that they actually feel is 824 00:31:43,509 --> 00:31:40,880 strongly in support of their notion 825 00:31:45,350 --> 00:31:43,519 now to experiencers i would point out 826 00:31:46,630 --> 00:31:45,360 that while the experience can be 827 00:31:49,830 --> 00:31:46,640 uncomfortable 828 00:31:52,310 --> 00:31:49,840 can be ontologically disturbing 829 00:31:54,230 --> 00:31:52,320 can be difficult to incorporate into 830 00:31:56,389 --> 00:31:54,240 your everyday life 831 00:31:59,430 --> 00:31:56,399 just take heart that in many ways you 832 00:32:02,630 --> 00:31:59,440 are pioneers forebearers of what will 833 00:32:04,789 --> 00:32:02,640 become a recognized understanding of 834 00:32:06,470 --> 00:32:04,799 reality eventually 835 00:32:08,630 --> 00:32:06,480 this will happen even though it will 836 00:32:10,950 --> 00:32:08,640 take some time and again those who 837 00:32:13,110 --> 00:32:10,960 really understand this have known this 838 00:32:15,110 --> 00:32:13,120 for a very long time 839 00:32:17,909 --> 00:32:15,120 i'll leave you with the words of quantum 840 00:32:21,029 --> 00:32:17,919 physicist niels bohr who in the early 841 00:32:23,269 --> 00:32:21,039 20th century said of quantum physics and 842 00:32:26,630 --> 00:32:23,279 specifically the revelations around 843 00:32:28,789 --> 00:32:26,640 consciousness and reality he said quote 844 00:32:31,269 --> 00:32:28,799 if quantum mechanics hasn't profoundly 845 00:32:34,389 --> 00:32:31,279 shocked you you haven't understood it 846 00:32:37,509 --> 00:32:34,399 yet unquote and of course many of those 847 00:32:39,669 --> 00:32:37,519 early quantum physicists became mystics 848 00:32:42,630 --> 00:32:39,679 precisely because of the revelations 849 00:32:44,950 --> 00:32:42,640 arising from their field of scientific 850 00:32:47,830 --> 00:32:44,960 study looking at the very root of 851 00:32:50,389 --> 00:32:47,840 reality itself 852 00:32:52,149 --> 00:32:50,399 and on that note we've come to the close 853 00:32:53,909 --> 00:32:52,159 of another edition of the point of 854 00:32:55,830 --> 00:32:53,919 convergence
