Darren uh as is often the case 12 00:00:50,810 --> 00:00:48,180 when you get to the end of a year you 13 00:00:53,510 --> 00:00:50,820 start looking back and taking stock of 14 00:00:56,209 --> 00:00:53,520 what happened in the last 12 months and 15 00:00:58,970 --> 00:00:56,219 and then also you look ahead to what 16 00:00:59,990 --> 00:00:58,980 might be coming down the road and I 17 00:01:01,790 --> 00:01:00,000 think we're going to do a little bit of 18 00:01:03,709 --> 00:01:01,800 that on this show it's going to be a 19 00:01:05,810 --> 00:01:03,719 little bit of a free form uh maybe more 20 00:01:06,890 --> 00:01:05,820 so than what we normally do but I think 21 00:01:09,410 --> 00:01:06,900 we're going to have a good time with it 22 00:01:11,149 --> 00:01:09,420 but uh how you been and um what are you 23 00:01:13,850 --> 00:01:11,159 looking forward to 24 00:01:15,350 --> 00:01:13,860 well I mean I've been good but it's been 25 00:01:17,690 --> 00:01:15,360 you know when I reflect on this year 26 00:01:20,210 --> 00:01:17,700 it's there's been more change this year 27 00:01:21,350 --> 00:01:20,220 this past year than almost any year in 28 00:01:22,969 --> 00:01:21,360 my life I think and there's been 29 00:01:24,230 --> 00:01:22,979 previous years where I've said that but 30 00:01:28,249 --> 00:01:24,240 I really think that's true this year 31 00:01:30,350 --> 00:01:28,259 almost nothing uh that was the case when 32 00:01:33,730 --> 00:01:30,360 the year began is the case anymore in a 33 00:01:35,929 --> 00:01:33,740 lot of ways um so that is kind of 34 00:01:38,090 --> 00:01:35,939 discombobulating to use a point of 35 00:01:39,950 --> 00:01:38,100 convergence favorite term 36 00:01:43,490 --> 00:01:39,960 um but at the same time I feel like I'm 37 00:01:45,350 --> 00:01:43,500 slowly getting more accustomed to 38 00:01:47,270 --> 00:01:45,360 um being familiar and comfortable with 39 00:01:49,670 --> 00:01:47,280 change you know I like this expression 40 00:01:51,830 --> 00:01:49,680 you know learning to become comfortable 41 00:01:54,170 --> 00:01:51,840 with uncomfortability 42 00:01:55,730 --> 00:01:54,180 um is is helpful and like I we talked 43 00:01:58,249 --> 00:01:55,740 about in uh the last episode you know 44 00:01:59,990 --> 00:01:58,259 when you can go through life without too 45 00:02:02,870 --> 00:02:00,000 much attachment to certain preferences 46 00:02:06,109 --> 00:02:02,880 uh you just reduce your own suffering so 47 00:02:07,670 --> 00:02:06,119 I feel like I'm slowly getting better at 48 00:02:09,830 --> 00:02:07,680 um just rolling out with when rolling 49 00:02:12,890 --> 00:02:09,840 with it when change happens so 50 00:02:14,869 --> 00:02:12,900 been a massively uh impacting year so 51 00:02:17,750 --> 00:02:14,879 many changes and I can't imagine the 52 00:02:19,130 --> 00:02:17,760 2023 will have quite the same but you 53 00:02:22,010 --> 00:02:19,140 know we'll see we'll see what happens 54 00:02:25,369 --> 00:02:22,020 but I'm definitely looking forward to it 55 00:02:27,949 --> 00:02:25,379 absolutely I I mean uh it's been a wild 56 00:02:30,110 --> 00:02:27,959 year for our show I want to say that 57 00:02:32,570 --> 00:02:30,120 um you know for folks who haven't been 58 00:02:33,589 --> 00:02:32,580 with us from the beginning 59 00:02:35,449 --> 00:02:33,599 um 60 00:02:38,210 --> 00:02:35,459 we kind of had some planning sessions 61 00:02:40,790 --> 00:02:38,220 about 12 months ago and started started 62 00:02:44,210 --> 00:02:40,800 the show in early 2022 63 00:02:46,250 --> 00:02:44,220 and um it's been an interesting Journey 64 00:02:48,530 --> 00:02:46,260 there not only with where the show has 65 00:02:50,210 --> 00:02:48,540 gone but I'm reflecting back too on this 66 00:02:51,650 --> 00:02:50,220 on the many many times that we have met 67 00:02:53,449 --> 00:02:51,660 in person and and what you've been 68 00:02:55,130 --> 00:02:53,459 sharing with me and 69 00:02:57,589 --> 00:02:55,140 um kind of plans that you had for the 70 00:03:00,589 --> 00:02:57,599 year that changed Direction 71 00:03:03,290 --> 00:03:00,599 um a couple of times it's um 72 00:03:05,150 --> 00:03:03,300 it's been it feels like we had class has 73 00:03:07,610 --> 00:03:05,160 been in session you know for for me 74 00:03:10,430 --> 00:03:07,620 anyway I've had to learn a lot I had to 75 00:03:12,649 --> 00:03:10,440 put a lot of things into practice I'm 76 00:03:15,710 --> 00:03:12,659 finding that the more that we talk about 77 00:03:18,250 --> 00:03:15,720 this uh topic the more that we get 78 00:03:22,070 --> 00:03:18,260 deeper into I think what really matters 79 00:03:26,390 --> 00:03:22,080 at the heart of this issue uh the more 80 00:03:28,990 --> 00:03:26,400 that confronts me with parts of my own 81 00:03:32,809 --> 00:03:29,000 life that I need to examine re-examine 82 00:03:36,890 --> 00:03:32,819 it reframes the way that I approach 83 00:03:40,369 --> 00:03:36,900 situations not only in the UFO Community 84 00:03:41,890 --> 00:03:40,379 but also just interpersonally and um you 85 00:03:44,809 --> 00:03:41,900 know I'm very grateful for that change 86 00:03:47,509 --> 00:03:44,819 it's not come without you know some 87 00:03:48,710 --> 00:03:47,519 level of discomfort uh there are 88 00:03:51,470 --> 00:03:48,720 definitely moments where I don't think I 89 00:03:54,530 --> 00:03:51,480 get it right or I have to you know kind 90 00:03:56,509 --> 00:03:54,540 of change direction but I have found 91 00:03:58,789 --> 00:03:56,519 that I at least for me personally I've 92 00:04:00,770 --> 00:03:58,799 got some new Tools in my toolkit to be 93 00:04:03,410 --> 00:04:00,780 able to approach things that are 94 00:04:06,470 --> 00:04:03,420 happening in the world and that has made 95 00:04:08,509 --> 00:04:06,480 me a better person so I'm grateful for 96 00:04:10,130 --> 00:04:08,519 that and I hope that's all our listeners 97 00:04:12,369 --> 00:04:10,140 have been able to kind of take away some 98 00:04:16,009 --> 00:04:12,379 things from our show that have 99 00:04:19,069 --> 00:04:16,019 deepened their relationship with this 100 00:04:21,110 --> 00:04:19,079 journey that have given them some new 101 00:04:24,170 --> 00:04:21,120 questions that have you know hopefully 102 00:04:26,629 --> 00:04:24,180 maybe catalyzed some conversation and 103 00:04:28,129 --> 00:04:26,639 started them on some new Journeys and I 104 00:04:29,930 --> 00:04:28,139 know we've got some some exciting 105 00:04:32,330 --> 00:04:29,940 Journeys ahead as well I mean they're 106 00:04:34,850 --> 00:04:32,340 they're inevitably going to be some 107 00:04:37,310 --> 00:04:34,860 I think some pretty big Revelations that 108 00:04:39,290 --> 00:04:37,320 are coming down the pipeline 109 00:04:41,330 --> 00:04:39,300 some of which we can speculate on in the 110 00:04:43,370 --> 00:04:41,340 show today some of which will probably 111 00:04:45,770 --> 00:04:43,380 be all surprised to hear I mean that 112 00:04:48,890 --> 00:04:45,780 will be a you know kind of a fun 113 00:04:50,390 --> 00:04:48,900 part of the the journey as well so um 114 00:04:51,950 --> 00:04:50,400 you know with all that being said I mean 115 00:04:53,689 --> 00:04:51,960 what's something that you might want to 116 00:04:55,189 --> 00:04:53,699 start with on our on our show today what 117 00:04:56,450 --> 00:04:55,199 would you like to kind of tackle maybe 118 00:04:58,790 --> 00:04:56,460 it's something we've talked about before 119 00:05:00,710 --> 00:04:58,800 but kind of revisiting 120 00:05:02,330 --> 00:05:00,720 well before we go there I just want to 121 00:05:04,010 --> 00:05:02,340 say in light of what you just shared 122 00:05:07,550 --> 00:05:04,020 that I think that's a really important 123 00:05:09,409 --> 00:05:07,560 point that we didn't design this show 124 00:05:11,090 --> 00:05:09,419 now the not that we really like spent 125 00:05:13,670 --> 00:05:11,100 you know months and months planning it 126 00:05:16,310 --> 00:05:13,680 but when we planned it I think we're 127 00:05:17,870 --> 00:05:16,320 both wired in such a way that we we just 128 00:05:20,570 --> 00:05:17,880 want to grow right like it's just a 129 00:05:22,550 --> 00:05:20,580 natural inclination and so what I would 130 00:05:24,650 --> 00:05:22,560 say to people is if you're you know 131 00:05:26,090 --> 00:05:24,660 if this is if this a different show is 132 00:05:28,070 --> 00:05:26,100 your cup of tea where it's kind of more 133 00:05:30,110 --> 00:05:28,080 like euphotainment and it's just sort of 134 00:05:31,790 --> 00:05:30,120 like you know the same stuff year after 135 00:05:33,650 --> 00:05:31,800 year after year I understand that can 136 00:05:35,810 --> 00:05:33,660 occupy people's time and kind of tickle 137 00:05:37,610 --> 00:05:35,820 their fancy but I think the way you and 138 00:05:40,610 --> 00:05:37,620 you and I are wired 139 00:05:42,409 --> 00:05:40,620 um is to grow and to take in information 140 00:05:44,810 --> 00:05:42,419 and try to do something with it like how 141 00:05:46,550 --> 00:05:44,820 does it change our perspective and the 142 00:05:48,170 --> 00:05:46,560 show is a natural 143 00:05:50,689 --> 00:05:48,180 um you know is the fruit of that in many 144 00:05:52,189 --> 00:05:50,699 ways so uh it's not like we plan hey 145 00:05:53,749 --> 00:05:52,199 halfway through the year let's go more 146 00:05:55,730 --> 00:05:53,759 spiritual you know something like that 147 00:05:57,050 --> 00:05:55,740 that's just kind of what happened uh 148 00:05:58,610 --> 00:05:57,060 because that's what what's going on in 149 00:06:00,170 --> 00:05:58,620 our lives so 150 00:06:01,150 --> 00:06:00,180 um that part's exciting because I would 151 00:06:03,469 --> 00:06:01,160 say that 152 00:06:05,270 --> 00:06:03,479 equally the case that we don't really 153 00:06:06,950 --> 00:06:05,280 know what 2023 is going to bring because 154 00:06:09,110 --> 00:06:06,960 uh we certainly couldn't have predicted 155 00:06:11,510 --> 00:06:09,120 2022 156 00:06:13,370 --> 00:06:11,520 um in terms of what we can begin on I 157 00:06:15,110 --> 00:06:13,380 think you know just before we went on 158 00:06:15,770 --> 00:06:15,120 the air we were talking about 159 00:06:19,790 --> 00:06:15,780 um 160 00:06:22,309 --> 00:06:19,800 b l uh on Theory of Everything Jeremy 161 00:06:24,110 --> 00:06:22,319 Corbell and George Knapp were talking uh 162 00:06:26,629 --> 00:06:24,120 just about some of the things coming 163 00:06:28,189 --> 00:06:26,639 down the pipeline and even though you 164 00:06:29,930 --> 00:06:28,199 know it's stuff that you and I and 165 00:06:32,930 --> 00:06:29,940 people you know intimately familiar with 166 00:06:34,370 --> 00:06:32,940 this topic have heard before uh I still 167 00:06:36,350 --> 00:06:34,380 think sometimes when you hear it with 168 00:06:39,170 --> 00:06:36,360 fresh ears and you just say you know if 169 00:06:41,150 --> 00:06:39,180 my if my you know Aunt heard this or my 170 00:06:42,770 --> 00:06:41,160 cousin or you know my co-worker heard 171 00:06:45,290 --> 00:06:42,780 this what would it do like that we're 172 00:06:47,689 --> 00:06:45,300 actually using these kind of words you 173 00:06:49,490 --> 00:06:47,699 know and and I'll get to in a minute but 174 00:06:53,510 --> 00:06:49,500 I was just thinking how George Knapp 175 00:06:55,430 --> 00:06:53,520 talked about uh breaking this story with 176 00:06:57,230 --> 00:06:55,440 um Bob Lazar back in the day right and 177 00:06:59,809 --> 00:06:57,240 how people just even within ufology 178 00:07:02,390 --> 00:06:59,819 thought it was crazy this notion that 179 00:07:04,070 --> 00:07:02,400 someone would be employed by the federal 180 00:07:07,550 --> 00:07:04,080 government or some branch of the 181 00:07:10,430 --> 00:07:07,560 military or some private contractor uh 182 00:07:13,070 --> 00:07:10,440 on contract with the military to try to 183 00:07:15,110 --> 00:07:13,080 figure out some off-planet vehicle that 184 00:07:18,770 --> 00:07:15,120 had been recovered right and yet that's 185 00:07:20,570 --> 00:07:18,780 exactly what's on the table and in the 186 00:07:22,070 --> 00:07:20,580 conversation today George Knapp talked 187 00:07:24,170 --> 00:07:22,080 about not only the idea of 188 00:07:25,189 --> 00:07:24,180 whistleblowers going before the 189 00:07:28,670 --> 00:07:25,199 Congressional committee and giving 190 00:07:31,490 --> 00:07:28,680 testimony but that already some of the 191 00:07:33,110 --> 00:07:31,500 shift in focus and some of the 192 00:07:35,990 --> 00:07:33,120 mechanisms have been put in place with 193 00:07:38,570 --> 00:07:36,000 the language and whatnot uh with the 194 00:07:41,770 --> 00:07:38,580 task force have allowed them to actually 195 00:07:44,870 --> 00:07:41,780 figure out where the hardware is is what 196 00:07:46,249 --> 00:07:44,880 Jeremy actually said that that they've 197 00:07:48,290 --> 00:07:46,259 actually not it's no longer just a 198 00:07:50,689 --> 00:07:48,300 hypothetical right that maybe somewhere 199 00:07:51,710 --> 00:07:50,699 in some deep you know facility somewhere 200 00:07:54,050 --> 00:07:51,720 but they're saying they've actually 201 00:07:55,570 --> 00:07:54,060 located it I assume they mean the 202 00:07:59,330 --> 00:07:55,580 Congressional members that are involved 203 00:08:00,830 --> 00:07:59,340 have actually received Intel about where 204 00:08:02,809 --> 00:08:00,840 some of this stuff is and then he went 205 00:08:05,029 --> 00:08:02,819 on to say also like you know there's a 206 00:08:06,950 --> 00:08:05,039 this expression we use you know where 207 00:08:09,290 --> 00:08:06,960 the bodies are hidden right and in this 208 00:08:10,909 --> 00:08:09,300 case it's literally like gray alien 209 00:08:12,290 --> 00:08:10,919 bodies or something like that or is it 210 00:08:14,990 --> 00:08:12,300 future humans you know these are the 211 00:08:16,790 --> 00:08:15,000 kind of questions we have uh that we can 212 00:08:17,570 --> 00:08:16,800 maybe sort of start there so what do you 213 00:08:19,790 --> 00:08:17,580 think 214 00:08:22,909 --> 00:08:19,800 yeah that's a that's a good jumping off 215 00:08:25,070 --> 00:08:22,919 point because uh in many respects 216 00:08:28,550 --> 00:08:25,080 you know we're talking about two 217 00:08:30,650 --> 00:08:28,560 figures there who have been responsible 218 00:08:33,949 --> 00:08:30,660 and in some large part 219 00:08:37,130 --> 00:08:33,959 to where we are now and and the 220 00:08:40,969 --> 00:08:37,140 the stories that they have told uh that 221 00:08:44,209 --> 00:08:40,979 in you know George with Bob Lazar and or 222 00:08:47,449 --> 00:08:44,219 Skinwalker Ranch and his many decades of 223 00:08:49,430 --> 00:08:47,459 reporting on this topic and Jeremy with 224 00:08:50,930 --> 00:08:49,440 his documentaries and you know kind of 225 00:08:54,550 --> 00:08:50,940 more of his activism 226 00:08:56,750 --> 00:08:54,560 you know that kind of allows us to 227 00:09:00,290 --> 00:08:56,760 revisit some of the 228 00:09:03,050 --> 00:09:00,300 core components of this issue right so I 229 00:09:06,590 --> 00:09:03,060 think it's it's it's a it's the on-ramp 230 00:09:09,170 --> 00:09:06,600 to for those who is I think of it this 231 00:09:11,090 --> 00:09:09,180 way right they're going to be people as 232 00:09:12,470 --> 00:09:11,100 there always are right I just remind 233 00:09:14,570 --> 00:09:12,480 myself of this too because I'm kind of 234 00:09:16,370 --> 00:09:14,580 so into this topic so often every day 235 00:09:18,170 --> 00:09:16,380 that I kind of forget that there are 236 00:09:20,449 --> 00:09:18,180 people coming on board 237 00:09:22,009 --> 00:09:20,459 every week like there are people who are 238 00:09:23,690 --> 00:09:22,019 coming new they're brand new to the 239 00:09:25,490 --> 00:09:23,700 topic they just stumbled across whatever 240 00:09:27,170 --> 00:09:25,500 and they're 241 00:09:28,310 --> 00:09:27,180 they can't they're insatiable they can't 242 00:09:31,130 --> 00:09:28,320 get enough and they're just they're 243 00:09:33,410 --> 00:09:31,140 starting with generally you know oh that 244 00:09:35,090 --> 00:09:33,420 you know maybe maybe these ETS are here 245 00:09:36,350 --> 00:09:35,100 maybe their craft have been here maybe 246 00:09:38,150 --> 00:09:36,360 Roswell was real you know they're 247 00:09:39,410 --> 00:09:38,160 starting with these things 248 00:09:41,449 --> 00:09:39,420 and so 249 00:09:42,949 --> 00:09:41,459 um remind myself that that's happening 250 00:09:44,630 --> 00:09:42,959 and that's gonna happen again you know 251 00:09:46,790 --> 00:09:44,640 if we get the kind of things that we're 252 00:09:48,110 --> 00:09:46,800 hearing from from George and Jeremy 253 00:09:49,130 --> 00:09:48,120 we're going to see that stuff come to 254 00:09:50,930 --> 00:09:49,140 fruition 255 00:09:51,949 --> 00:09:50,940 then we're gonna have a whole bunch of 256 00:09:53,690 --> 00:09:51,959 new folks that are going to be 257 00:09:55,550 --> 00:09:53,700 interested in this 258 00:09:56,750 --> 00:09:55,560 um in ways that that we haven't seen 259 00:09:59,810 --> 00:09:56,760 before 260 00:10:02,990 --> 00:09:59,820 um particularly if we can get some some 261 00:10:05,930 --> 00:10:03,000 hard juicy substantial reporting from 262 00:10:10,009 --> 00:10:05,940 Congress uh on their own interest and 263 00:10:12,170 --> 00:10:10,019 and traction with this topic so 264 00:10:14,690 --> 00:10:12,180 um you know for me I think it might be 265 00:10:16,449 --> 00:10:14,700 good to kind of take a look at what you 266 00:10:19,850 --> 00:10:16,459 know what were some of the core claims 267 00:10:22,310 --> 00:10:19,860 of early apology and 268 00:10:25,190 --> 00:10:22,320 um you know what what parts of the those 269 00:10:28,370 --> 00:10:25,200 claims do you hold to be still 270 00:10:30,829 --> 00:10:28,380 significantly true and meaningful now 271 00:10:32,690 --> 00:10:30,839 um and what ways and what are the ways 272 00:10:35,090 --> 00:10:32,700 in which you look at those kind of core 273 00:10:37,190 --> 00:10:35,100 claims differently than you may have 274 00:10:38,630 --> 00:10:37,200 looked at them from when you started on 275 00:10:40,190 --> 00:10:38,640 this journey 276 00:10:42,590 --> 00:10:40,200 um so you know one we could take a look 277 00:10:46,009 --> 00:10:42,600 at might just be you know they're here 278 00:10:49,069 --> 00:10:46,019 right so uh there was a purported crash 279 00:10:51,050 --> 00:10:49,079 that took place in the 40s the most 280 00:10:52,670 --> 00:10:51,060 notable being Roswell 281 00:10:55,550 --> 00:10:52,680 of course we've certainly heard of 282 00:10:58,910 --> 00:10:55,560 others that have predated that that 283 00:11:01,550 --> 00:10:58,920 there were bodies recovered and and the 284 00:11:03,949 --> 00:11:01,560 prevailing hypothesis was you know these 285 00:11:06,829 --> 00:11:03,959 were beings from another 286 00:11:09,170 --> 00:11:06,839 Planet not from Earth right 287 00:11:11,750 --> 00:11:09,180 um and the government squirreled away 288 00:11:13,130 --> 00:11:11,760 that material and those bodies and and 289 00:11:14,990 --> 00:11:13,140 have been studying it trying to figure 290 00:11:18,350 --> 00:11:15,000 out whatever it happens to be and also 291 00:11:21,949 --> 00:11:18,360 that spawned the conspiracy of secrecy 292 00:11:25,250 --> 00:11:21,959 right the uh that keeping a tight lid on 293 00:11:28,250 --> 00:11:25,260 this topic some have said more more 294 00:11:32,090 --> 00:11:28,260 secret than the bomb you know the h-bomb 295 00:11:34,430 --> 00:11:32,100 so uh we could start there and you know 296 00:11:35,810 --> 00:11:34,440 what do you think about that now and and 297 00:11:37,009 --> 00:11:35,820 what did you well let's start with what 298 00:11:39,889 --> 00:11:37,019 you thought about it you know initially 299 00:11:42,470 --> 00:11:39,899 and what do you think about it now 300 00:11:44,690 --> 00:11:42,480 well it's interesting kind of turning 301 00:11:46,210 --> 00:11:44,700 the tables here because last time we 302 00:11:49,610 --> 00:11:46,220 talked about the difference between 303 00:11:51,590 --> 00:11:49,620 experiencer kind of concerns versus you 304 00:11:53,329 --> 00:11:51,600 know the general public and so we're 305 00:11:55,190 --> 00:11:53,339 kind of steering back towards the left 306 00:11:56,810 --> 00:11:55,200 here and saying let's talk about the 307 00:11:58,370 --> 00:11:56,820 public conversation and how that changed 308 00:11:59,569 --> 00:11:58,380 over time 309 00:12:03,290 --> 00:11:59,579 um 310 00:12:06,710 --> 00:12:03,300 yeah so going back to the beginning 311 00:12:10,069 --> 00:12:06,720 I was reading a book by Stanton Friedman 312 00:12:12,470 --> 00:12:10,079 recently and just sort of retracing his 313 00:12:15,050 --> 00:12:12,480 steps in the 20th century you know 314 00:12:16,730 --> 00:12:15,060 trying to figure out what's going on 315 00:12:19,069 --> 00:12:16,740 um you know what kind of groups are 316 00:12:21,590 --> 00:12:19,079 studying this 317 00:12:23,150 --> 00:12:21,600 is Majestic 12 a real thing things like 318 00:12:26,030 --> 00:12:23,160 that right and uh 319 00:12:27,410 --> 00:12:26,040 more recently uh James iandoli our 320 00:12:28,970 --> 00:12:27,420 friend was talking with George Knapp 321 00:12:30,710 --> 00:12:28,980 about whether zodiac is a real thing 322 00:12:32,810 --> 00:12:30,720 right is that an organization is that a 323 00:12:34,490 --> 00:12:32,820 code word for a Loosely organized group 324 00:12:36,530 --> 00:12:34,500 we hear about groups like The Collins 325 00:12:38,269 --> 00:12:36,540 Elite which is also you know or the 326 00:12:40,310 --> 00:12:38,279 invisible College all these sort of 327 00:12:42,350 --> 00:12:40,320 Infamous groups right 328 00:12:44,990 --> 00:12:42,360 studying this topic sort of behind the 329 00:12:47,449 --> 00:12:45,000 scenes because like you say it was so 330 00:12:48,949 --> 00:12:47,459 carefully guarded you know and and I 331 00:12:50,329 --> 00:12:48,959 think actually if I'm unless I'm 332 00:12:51,710 --> 00:12:50,339 mistaken the name of that book that I 333 00:12:53,690 --> 00:12:51,720 was reading is actually called Above Top 334 00:12:56,210 --> 00:12:53,700 Secret referring to what you were saying 335 00:12:58,790 --> 00:12:56,220 with the age ball right that there and I 336 00:13:00,650 --> 00:12:58,800 think that kind of puts uh Paints the 337 00:13:04,129 --> 00:13:00,660 picture for people right it helps frame 338 00:13:06,110 --> 00:13:04,139 it that we know how top secret the 339 00:13:08,269 --> 00:13:06,120 h-bomb development was right that in 340 00:13:10,310 --> 00:13:08,279 many ways if uh the powers that be felt 341 00:13:12,110 --> 00:13:10,320 like the future of civilization it was a 342 00:13:15,590 --> 00:13:12,120 clash of civilizations right the Soviet 343 00:13:17,569 --> 00:13:15,600 powers and The Westerns and 344 00:13:20,090 --> 00:13:17,579 um and to imagine that something was on 345 00:13:21,769 --> 00:13:20,100 a higher degree than that right uh is is 346 00:13:24,350 --> 00:13:21,779 pretty interesting 347 00:13:26,990 --> 00:13:24,360 which of course begs the question what 348 00:13:28,670 --> 00:13:27,000 was the nature of the revelations that 349 00:13:30,889 --> 00:13:28,680 required to be 350 00:13:33,170 --> 00:13:30,899 at such a high level of secrecy right is 351 00:13:35,990 --> 00:13:33,180 it I've heard some people suggest and I 352 00:13:38,509 --> 00:13:36,000 I can come across either way this way 353 00:13:40,370 --> 00:13:38,519 suggest that if it was just space aliens 354 00:13:42,590 --> 00:13:40,380 they don't think it would you know 355 00:13:44,569 --> 00:13:42,600 involve this much secrecy and that's why 356 00:13:46,310 --> 00:13:44,579 there's been this question around could 357 00:13:48,230 --> 00:13:46,320 it be the DNA link that we talked about 358 00:13:49,670 --> 00:13:48,240 last time is that the part that people 359 00:13:52,490 --> 00:13:49,680 just felt like there's no way the 360 00:13:53,389 --> 00:13:52,500 general public can handle that you know 361 00:13:55,490 --> 00:13:53,399 um 362 00:13:58,250 --> 00:13:55,500 but I know for me like we've talked many 363 00:13:59,990 --> 00:13:58,260 times about this and and when we again 364 00:14:01,670 --> 00:14:00,000 think about reflecting over the last 365 00:14:03,530 --> 00:14:01,680 year 366 00:14:05,269 --> 00:14:03,540 I think both of us since we first got 367 00:14:07,190 --> 00:14:05,279 into this topic 368 00:14:08,449 --> 00:14:07,200 have moved more towards conspiracy 369 00:14:11,870 --> 00:14:08,459 thinking and I don't mean in terms of 370 00:14:14,030 --> 00:14:11,880 just crazy uh schemes that are not 371 00:14:15,650 --> 00:14:14,040 supported by evidence but actually the 372 00:14:17,509 --> 00:14:15,660 contrary that when you actually start 373 00:14:18,889 --> 00:14:17,519 digging you find things that are kind of 374 00:14:21,350 --> 00:14:18,899 contrary to what you would prefer to 375 00:14:24,590 --> 00:14:21,360 believe it no one wants to believe that 376 00:14:27,710 --> 00:14:24,600 their government could be this deceitful 377 00:14:30,530 --> 00:14:27,720 and have this level of false narrative 378 00:14:32,210 --> 00:14:30,540 being presented to the public and that's 379 00:14:33,410 --> 00:14:32,220 kind of where you land so I think for me 380 00:14:36,470 --> 00:14:33,420 that's been 381 00:14:38,210 --> 00:14:36,480 the biggest shift is is that I started 382 00:14:40,310 --> 00:14:38,220 down a rabbit hole but how deep I went 383 00:14:43,189 --> 00:14:40,320 and how many side tunnels that opened up 384 00:14:46,069 --> 00:14:43,199 I was really not prepared for yeah 385 00:14:50,030 --> 00:14:46,079 yeah that's uh perhaps a cautionary Tale 386 00:14:51,829 --> 00:14:50,040 in some ways right so I think um you 387 00:14:55,129 --> 00:14:51,839 know keep in mind there's no road map 388 00:14:57,710 --> 00:14:55,139 here there's no uh you know coursework 389 00:15:01,430 --> 00:14:57,720 syllabus we can give you that it's gonna 390 00:15:05,329 --> 00:15:01,440 take you on the right quote-unquote path 391 00:15:08,810 --> 00:15:05,339 of of Discovery here and and also 392 00:15:12,410 --> 00:15:08,820 recognizing that your connection to this 393 00:15:14,629 --> 00:15:12,420 topic is is very much situated in who 394 00:15:17,090 --> 00:15:14,639 you are you know so if you've had an 395 00:15:18,769 --> 00:15:17,100 actual experience uh you have a friend 396 00:15:20,990 --> 00:15:18,779 who's having experience and you believe 397 00:15:22,610 --> 00:15:21,000 them that changes the way that you 398 00:15:26,509 --> 00:15:22,620 approach this if you haven't had an 399 00:15:30,590 --> 00:15:26,519 experience uh and yet you find 400 00:15:33,110 --> 00:15:30,600 some of the witness testimony uh the uh 401 00:15:35,629 --> 00:15:33,120 the evidence that we've seen from 402 00:15:38,210 --> 00:15:35,639 various places we find that compelling 403 00:15:40,610 --> 00:15:38,220 then you're coming at it from a very 404 00:15:42,230 --> 00:15:40,620 different angle and you're you know 405 00:15:44,150 --> 00:15:42,240 maybe looking at it from a national 406 00:15:46,250 --> 00:15:44,160 security perspective or looking at it 407 00:15:48,230 --> 00:15:46,260 from a technology perspective so they're 408 00:15:50,150 --> 00:15:48,240 all these different uh Frameworks from 409 00:15:53,269 --> 00:15:50,160 which you might be connecting with with 410 00:15:55,430 --> 00:15:53,279 the subject and you know it can be kind 411 00:15:57,410 --> 00:15:55,440 of jarring 412 00:16:00,170 --> 00:15:57,420 in my opinion the most jarring Journey 413 00:16:01,850 --> 00:16:00,180 probably comes from that on-ramp as 414 00:16:04,009 --> 00:16:01,860 opposed to the experiencer one although 415 00:16:07,550 --> 00:16:04,019 that has its own you know sort of 416 00:16:10,189 --> 00:16:07,560 extreme uh discombobulating effect 417 00:16:11,990 --> 00:16:10,199 right so but if you come at it from a 418 00:16:14,750 --> 00:16:12,000 nuts and bolts angle like I think many 419 00:16:18,110 --> 00:16:14,760 of us do and you really kind of dig dig 420 00:16:20,090 --> 00:16:18,120 into it uh you you can kind of find 421 00:16:22,670 --> 00:16:20,100 yourself at the end or where you are my 422 00:16:24,829 --> 00:16:22,680 I are right now looking back and go wow 423 00:16:27,769 --> 00:16:24,839 like I'm not even sure 424 00:16:29,870 --> 00:16:27,779 what feels solid anymore on the on the 425 00:16:33,590 --> 00:16:29,880 ground that I'm standing on 426 00:16:35,569 --> 00:16:33,600 um and so that can be a big challenge so 427 00:16:37,370 --> 00:16:35,579 I want I say that to say just you know 428 00:16:40,069 --> 00:16:37,380 if you're coming at this from a from a 429 00:16:43,490 --> 00:16:40,079 fresh you know brand person brand new 430 00:16:46,189 --> 00:16:43,500 person perspective take your time uh you 431 00:16:49,670 --> 00:16:46,199 know don't uh jump to Quick conclusions 432 00:16:51,170 --> 00:16:49,680 you know read as much as you can weigh 433 00:16:53,810 --> 00:16:51,180 all of the different anecdotes and 434 00:16:56,210 --> 00:16:53,820 evidence that that you can and and try 435 00:16:58,009 --> 00:16:56,220 to hold that at arm's length examine it 436 00:17:00,170 --> 00:16:58,019 look at it from a variety of 437 00:17:02,509 --> 00:17:00,180 perspectives and then kind of see what 438 00:17:06,409 --> 00:17:02,519 you know percolates to the top there I 439 00:17:08,929 --> 00:17:06,419 think that will be the best way to uh 440 00:17:10,669 --> 00:17:08,939 to assimilate the content 441 00:17:13,130 --> 00:17:10,679 um 442 00:17:15,530 --> 00:17:13,140 yeah and I was I was thinking a couple 443 00:17:16,669 --> 00:17:15,540 things before I forget because 444 00:17:19,789 --> 00:17:16,679 um something encouraged me when you were 445 00:17:21,289 --> 00:17:19,799 saying this number one 446 00:17:22,850 --> 00:17:21,299 in terms of you said this thing about 447 00:17:23,750 --> 00:17:22,860 sorry there's no syllabus we can give 448 00:17:25,850 --> 00:17:23,760 you right 449 00:17:27,590 --> 00:17:25,860 not only that but I I've actually had 450 00:17:28,909 --> 00:17:27,600 people write me and say Hey you seem to 451 00:17:31,850 --> 00:17:28,919 have come to some fairly strong 452 00:17:34,549 --> 00:17:31,860 conclusions can you tell me exactly like 453 00:17:36,590 --> 00:17:34,559 the the nine books I need to read the 454 00:17:38,150 --> 00:17:36,600 three YouTube videos I need to watch and 455 00:17:40,070 --> 00:17:38,160 the two podcasts I need to listen to to 456 00:17:42,049 --> 00:17:40,080 get to that same place right you can't 457 00:17:44,690 --> 00:17:42,059 do it right and and 458 00:17:46,669 --> 00:17:44,700 I would say that number one where I've 459 00:17:48,710 --> 00:17:46,679 landed is piecing together all sorts of 460 00:17:50,570 --> 00:17:48,720 different information right is number 461 00:17:51,830 --> 00:17:50,580 one that I that I don't even keep track 462 00:17:53,029 --> 00:17:51,840 of it it's a little bit here or there 463 00:17:54,049 --> 00:17:53,039 you get a little nugget over here 464 00:17:56,270 --> 00:17:54,059 something else over here that 465 00:17:58,310 --> 00:17:56,280 corroborates that that kind of thing but 466 00:17:59,930 --> 00:17:58,320 on top of that 467 00:18:01,850 --> 00:17:59,940 two different people 468 00:18:03,409 --> 00:18:01,860 could or three different people could be 469 00:18:04,789 --> 00:18:03,419 exposed to the exact same material and 470 00:18:07,850 --> 00:18:04,799 come to different conclusions that's 471 00:18:09,650 --> 00:18:07,860 part of the Enigma of this topic is that 472 00:18:11,810 --> 00:18:09,660 your own Consciousness comes into play 473 00:18:13,310 --> 00:18:11,820 You're you you then you know there's a 474 00:18:15,169 --> 00:18:13,320 there's an expression that says you know 475 00:18:16,730 --> 00:18:15,179 when you start taking note of the 476 00:18:18,650 --> 00:18:16,740 phenomenon the phenomenon starts taking 477 00:18:20,270 --> 00:18:18,660 note of you right 478 00:18:22,430 --> 00:18:20,280 um and 479 00:18:23,810 --> 00:18:22,440 another way to look at that is that you 480 00:18:26,029 --> 00:18:23,820 can't help but 481 00:18:28,130 --> 00:18:26,039 have your Consciousness be one of the 482 00:18:29,930 --> 00:18:28,140 factors one of the variables in play 483 00:18:31,549 --> 00:18:29,940 here and this is this is one of the 484 00:18:34,190 --> 00:18:31,559 ongoing challenges when it comes to a 485 00:18:36,169 --> 00:18:34,200 species trying to understand itself or 486 00:18:38,150 --> 00:18:36,179 understand a cosmos of which they are 487 00:18:40,909 --> 00:18:38,160 apart and entangled in a way that you 488 00:18:43,250 --> 00:18:40,919 can't really separate us from the cosmos 489 00:18:46,130 --> 00:18:43,260 we're in right so so how do you quote 490 00:18:47,750 --> 00:18:46,140 unquote objectively study that right and 491 00:18:49,549 --> 00:18:47,760 and so two different people will come to 492 00:18:51,529 --> 00:18:49,559 different conclusions because their own 493 00:18:54,169 --> 00:18:51,539 Consciousness is The X Factor right 494 00:18:56,150 --> 00:18:54,179 because the rest lines up 495 00:18:58,130 --> 00:18:56,160 and I think one thing that would be 496 00:18:59,630 --> 00:18:58,140 interesting for us to get into amidst 497 00:19:03,110 --> 00:18:59,640 these different topics that will take on 498 00:19:05,510 --> 00:19:03,120 one by one is to reckon with the fact 499 00:19:06,950 --> 00:19:05,520 that and you kind of hinted at it there 500 00:19:09,610 --> 00:19:06,960 where 501 00:19:13,190 --> 00:19:09,620 it starts here but by the end of the day 502 00:19:16,909 --> 00:19:13,200 everything is in play reality 503 00:19:19,549 --> 00:19:16,919 Life Death the nature of existence 504 00:19:22,190 --> 00:19:19,559 what is physicality right all these 505 00:19:23,570 --> 00:19:22,200 things a material world versus an 506 00:19:24,830 --> 00:19:23,580 idealistic world you know you and I 507 00:19:27,470 --> 00:19:24,840 before we went on the air talked about 508 00:19:29,870 --> 00:19:27,480 this how we've been persuaded towards 509 00:19:32,930 --> 00:19:29,880 this idealistic kind of persuasion 510 00:19:34,730 --> 00:19:32,940 perspective on reality and we've seen 511 00:19:37,669 --> 00:19:34,740 how difficult it is for people to really 512 00:19:39,470 --> 00:19:37,679 take that step and really grasp what 513 00:19:42,549 --> 00:19:39,480 that means how far it goes so we'll 514 00:19:45,230 --> 00:19:42,559 we'll have people that will talk about 515 00:19:47,090 --> 00:19:45,240 some manifestations of the phenomenon 516 00:19:48,950 --> 00:19:47,100 being kind of a virtual reality right 517 00:19:50,570 --> 00:19:48,960 but they feel very confident that 518 00:19:53,090 --> 00:19:50,580 everything else though is solid and safe 519 00:19:54,590 --> 00:19:53,100 right and what we're saying is that 520 00:19:56,150 --> 00:19:54,600 actually the whole thing I mean there's 521 00:19:57,650 --> 00:19:56,160 no use talking about aspects that are 522 00:19:59,690 --> 00:19:57,660 virtual because the entire thing is to 523 00:20:02,330 --> 00:19:59,700 some degree it's a like I keep saying I 524 00:20:04,070 --> 00:20:02,340 shared Dreamscape or a mind space uh 525 00:20:06,230 --> 00:20:04,080 that's kind of held together in its 526 00:20:08,990 --> 00:20:06,240 cohesion that makes you and I see the 527 00:20:11,150 --> 00:20:09,000 same Sun supposedly every day is because 528 00:20:12,950 --> 00:20:11,160 uh it's mind at large so it sort of 529 00:20:14,810 --> 00:20:12,960 holds this dream in place and we are 530 00:20:17,090 --> 00:20:14,820 characters within it embedded within it 531 00:20:21,049 --> 00:20:17,100 so we can separate ourselves from the 532 00:20:22,850 --> 00:20:21,059 dream but because it's a dream uh it it 533 00:20:24,230 --> 00:20:22,860 has some malleable elements and this is 534 00:20:25,490 --> 00:20:24,240 where some of these others seem to 535 00:20:27,470 --> 00:20:25,500 understand this and that's why I 536 00:20:30,110 --> 00:20:27,480 remember saying to you sort of halfway 537 00:20:32,330 --> 00:20:30,120 through 2022 I kind of had this 538 00:20:35,330 --> 00:20:32,340 Revelation around this notion of 539 00:20:37,310 --> 00:20:35,340 intermentation right this idea that it's 540 00:20:39,950 --> 00:20:37,320 more like these different processes of 541 00:20:42,950 --> 00:20:39,960 mentation or fields of mentation and we 542 00:20:44,990 --> 00:20:42,960 exist within one that feels solid and 543 00:20:47,390 --> 00:20:45,000 coherent right just like this this I've 544 00:20:49,669 --> 00:20:47,400 got my laptop Sitting on This Island 545 00:20:51,110 --> 00:20:49,679 here in the kitchen and it feels really 546 00:20:53,029 --> 00:20:51,120 solid you know it's kind of granite 547 00:20:55,610 --> 00:20:53,039 right as much as solid as you can get of 548 00:20:57,529 --> 00:20:55,620 the diamond baby but 549 00:21:00,409 --> 00:20:57,539 even physics tells us this is mostly 550 00:21:02,270 --> 00:21:00,419 empty space with a few you know Atomic 551 00:21:04,669 --> 00:21:02,280 components within it and then basically 552 00:21:07,669 --> 00:21:04,679 a field which gives it its hook its 553 00:21:09,770 --> 00:21:07,679 coherence and its appearance and its 554 00:21:12,289 --> 00:21:09,780 um you know aspect of physicality but 555 00:21:14,510 --> 00:21:12,299 it's completely relative virtual in many 556 00:21:16,070 --> 00:21:14,520 ways you could say so that's what's so 557 00:21:18,850 --> 00:21:16,080 fascinating about this topic is you 558 00:21:22,130 --> 00:21:18,860 can't you can't I think honestly go in 559 00:21:23,990 --> 00:21:22,140 uh and and really dig and not end up in 560 00:21:26,029 --> 00:21:24,000 these places 561 00:21:27,590 --> 00:21:26,039 right there's a there's kind of a 562 00:21:30,649 --> 00:21:27,600 resonance to 563 00:21:32,570 --> 00:21:30,659 uh not just objects as you just pointed 564 00:21:35,330 --> 00:21:32,580 out there there's a resonance to our 565 00:21:37,430 --> 00:21:35,340 experience of reality and there's a 566 00:21:41,330 --> 00:21:37,440 separate kind of resonance to other 567 00:21:43,130 --> 00:21:41,340 experiences of reality that we may not 568 00:21:45,890 --> 00:21:43,140 have direct or 569 00:21:49,190 --> 00:21:45,900 our our experience of that is uh very 570 00:21:50,570 --> 00:21:49,200 indirect and so when you have these kind 571 00:21:53,029 --> 00:21:50,580 of red think of them as resonant 572 00:21:56,330 --> 00:21:53,039 frequencies if they kind of 573 00:21:57,950 --> 00:21:56,340 you cross the streams right if you uh if 574 00:21:59,930 --> 00:21:57,960 they kind of bump up against each other 575 00:22:02,450 --> 00:21:59,940 there is a little bit of an interference 576 00:22:04,669 --> 00:22:02,460 pattern that may occur there and that 577 00:22:08,570 --> 00:22:04,679 that that interference pattern 578 00:22:11,210 --> 00:22:08,580 can present itself in both our resonant 579 00:22:14,690 --> 00:22:11,220 reality and whatever the other resonant 580 00:22:16,250 --> 00:22:14,700 reality uh is at as different types of 581 00:22:19,130 --> 00:22:16,260 phenomena 582 00:22:21,350 --> 00:22:19,140 um but but macroscopically it's it's 583 00:22:23,330 --> 00:22:21,360 those two different kinds of new season 584 00:22:26,750 --> 00:22:23,340 two kind of a binary example those two 585 00:22:28,850 --> 00:22:26,760 resonances exist within a grander 586 00:22:31,430 --> 00:22:28,860 red resonant field of mutation as you 587 00:22:33,350 --> 00:22:31,440 pointed out and so looking at it from 588 00:22:35,270 --> 00:22:33,360 that perspective at least from my 589 00:22:36,590 --> 00:22:35,280 standpoint has been extremely helpful in 590 00:22:39,049 --> 00:22:36,600 approaching this 591 00:22:40,970 --> 00:22:39,059 this topic and I also recognize that 592 00:22:44,630 --> 00:22:40,980 we've just kind of distilled in that 593 00:22:46,970 --> 00:22:44,640 little back and forth like a pretty big 594 00:22:49,730 --> 00:22:46,980 kind of different leap and jump than 595 00:22:51,049 --> 00:22:49,740 where most people land uh you know when 596 00:22:52,669 --> 00:22:51,059 they're when they're studying this from 597 00:22:54,409 --> 00:22:52,679 the first time 598 00:22:55,669 --> 00:22:54,419 um so maybe if I can rewind just a 599 00:22:58,370 --> 00:22:55,679 little bit 600 00:22:59,870 --> 00:22:58,380 going back to these uh non-human 601 00:23:02,270 --> 00:22:59,880 intelligences so let's just start with 602 00:23:05,510 --> 00:23:02,280 that you know that there that there may 603 00:23:07,870 --> 00:23:05,520 in fact be some some entities other than 604 00:23:09,950 --> 00:23:07,880 human and the prevailing initial 605 00:23:12,230 --> 00:23:09,960 hypothesis there was that they were 606 00:23:13,549 --> 00:23:12,240 extraterrestrial of course you and I 607 00:23:17,289 --> 00:23:13,559 know that there that isn't the only 608 00:23:19,310 --> 00:23:17,299 hypothesis there are other hypotheses 609 00:23:23,630 --> 00:23:19,320 interdimensional ultra-terrestrial 610 00:23:25,970 --> 00:23:23,640 crypto terrestrial extra tempestral 611 00:23:27,890 --> 00:23:25,980 um a lot of different uh you know 612 00:23:30,049 --> 00:23:27,900 typologies here 613 00:23:32,149 --> 00:23:30,059 um and and they could all be on the 614 00:23:34,430 --> 00:23:32,159 table right so I think that that's 615 00:23:36,770 --> 00:23:34,440 what's also quite uh don't forget 616 00:23:38,750 --> 00:23:36,780 intermentational and intermentational so 617 00:23:39,350 --> 00:23:38,760 it can be quite confabulating 618 00:23:42,169 --> 00:23:39,360 um 619 00:23:44,330 --> 00:23:42,179 and uh 620 00:23:47,870 --> 00:23:44,340 you know you can to me like whatever 621 00:23:50,810 --> 00:23:47,880 hypothesis you're most uh drawn towards 622 00:23:53,029 --> 00:23:50,820 it is a mirror of the way in which you 623 00:23:55,549 --> 00:23:53,039 look at the world around you right so 624 00:23:58,130 --> 00:23:55,559 let's just take the the easiest one I 625 00:23:59,450 --> 00:23:58,140 think the Extraterrestrial one you know 626 00:24:02,090 --> 00:23:59,460 why was that such a compelling 627 00:24:04,190 --> 00:24:02,100 hypothesis well it was the dawn of the 628 00:24:05,810 --> 00:24:04,200 Space Race it was the you know our 629 00:24:07,850 --> 00:24:05,820 science was kind of just starting to do 630 00:24:09,710 --> 00:24:07,860 some pretty amazing things and we 631 00:24:11,270 --> 00:24:09,720 realized that you know here we were 632 00:24:14,390 --> 00:24:11,280 planet Earth and there were all these 633 00:24:16,130 --> 00:24:14,400 other planets out there and uh 634 00:24:18,590 --> 00:24:16,140 you know there's life here maybe there's 635 00:24:20,690 --> 00:24:18,600 life on Venus maybe there's Life on Mars 636 00:24:23,210 --> 00:24:20,700 like these were the you know kind of the 637 00:24:25,490 --> 00:24:23,220 low-hanging fruit of the cosmologies of 638 00:24:27,649 --> 00:24:25,500 that gig given day and that that's why 639 00:24:30,649 --> 00:24:27,659 those theories became the most 640 00:24:32,570 --> 00:24:30,659 prevalent you know if you go back in 641 00:24:33,890 --> 00:24:32,580 time we talked about this a little bit 642 00:24:35,029 --> 00:24:33,900 and I don't know we'll dwell on it too 643 00:24:38,149 --> 00:24:35,039 much but if you go back in time 644 00:24:40,010 --> 00:24:38,159 centuries before the human humans had 645 00:24:41,810 --> 00:24:40,020 you know sort of this deeper 646 00:24:44,149 --> 00:24:41,820 understanding of our place in the solar 647 00:24:46,149 --> 00:24:44,159 system these entities would have been 648 00:24:49,610 --> 00:24:46,159 viewed from a kind of a more 649 00:24:51,890 --> 00:24:49,620 metaphysical perspective in a demonic or 650 00:24:54,169 --> 00:24:51,900 Angelic or you know certainly not human 651 00:24:56,330 --> 00:24:54,179 but interacting with humans and kind of 652 00:24:59,029 --> 00:24:56,340 messing with us in certain ways 653 00:25:01,370 --> 00:24:59,039 sometimes for our benefit sometimes not 654 00:25:03,950 --> 00:25:01,380 for our benefit and we're all part of 655 00:25:06,289 --> 00:25:03,960 the larger game that is involved with 656 00:25:08,690 --> 00:25:06,299 kind of a war between these competing 657 00:25:10,789 --> 00:25:08,700 factions and you know God and Satan and 658 00:25:13,370 --> 00:25:10,799 all this kind of stuff so 659 00:25:15,409 --> 00:25:13,380 um whatever you feel most drawn to to me 660 00:25:17,390 --> 00:25:15,419 and is a good mirror to how you see the 661 00:25:19,430 --> 00:25:17,400 world but what do you think about that 662 00:25:20,630 --> 00:25:19,440 yeah it's a great point and I I think we 663 00:25:21,830 --> 00:25:20,640 should really stress this for people 664 00:25:31,850 --> 00:25:21,840 that 665 00:25:34,909 --> 00:25:31,860 data was consumed changed right which 666 00:25:37,010 --> 00:25:34,919 tells you a lot so in you know medieval 667 00:25:39,169 --> 00:25:37,020 times they would have maybe seen them as 668 00:25:41,630 --> 00:25:39,179 fairies or something like that these you 669 00:25:44,269 --> 00:25:41,640 know cave dwelling beings that could you 670 00:25:46,789 --> 00:25:44,279 know sometimes disappear into the you 671 00:25:47,570 --> 00:25:46,799 know Netherworld or something like that 672 00:25:50,450 --> 00:25:47,580 um 673 00:25:53,210 --> 00:25:50,460 is it that there's so much difference in 674 00:25:54,529 --> 00:25:53,220 the actual criteria of the events not 675 00:25:56,269 --> 00:25:54,539 really I mean that's kind of what 676 00:25:58,370 --> 00:25:56,279 Jacques valet pointed out is that when 677 00:26:00,950 --> 00:25:58,380 you in passport to Magonia that when you 678 00:26:03,769 --> 00:26:00,960 actually break down the surface veneer 679 00:26:06,049 --> 00:26:03,779 which often is an interpretive layer 680 00:26:08,510 --> 00:26:06,059 the raw experience is remarkably similar 681 00:26:11,570 --> 00:26:08,520 you know you have missing time uh you 682 00:26:13,130 --> 00:26:11,580 know and uh people disappearing and then 683 00:26:16,750 --> 00:26:13,140 reappearing some people never being 684 00:26:19,070 --> 00:26:16,760 returned you know uh experiences where 685 00:26:21,529 --> 00:26:19,080 perception and Consciousness seems to be 686 00:26:24,049 --> 00:26:21,539 manipulated by these others right and 687 00:26:26,029 --> 00:26:24,059 like you hinted at in yesteryear that 688 00:26:27,470 --> 00:26:26,039 was interpreted as like spiritual Powers 689 00:26:29,149 --> 00:26:27,480 right whereas now we would say well 690 00:26:31,490 --> 00:26:29,159 these et's have some sort of like really 691 00:26:33,409 --> 00:26:31,500 advanced technology that can impact 692 00:26:35,450 --> 00:26:33,419 Consciousness but we're we're trying to 693 00:26:37,430 --> 00:26:35,460 parse it from a from a physicalist point 694 00:26:39,110 --> 00:26:37,440 of view right so this is really 695 00:26:41,029 --> 00:26:39,120 important to point out that again it's 696 00:26:44,149 --> 00:26:41,039 not so much the data is different it's 697 00:26:45,350 --> 00:26:44,159 that the models that consume that data 698 00:26:49,250 --> 00:26:45,360 and try to make sense of it are 699 00:26:51,649 --> 00:26:49,260 different another thing I would say is 700 00:26:53,210 --> 00:26:51,659 a little bit surprisingly I would say um 701 00:26:55,850 --> 00:26:53,220 you know even some of the people pushing 702 00:26:56,750 --> 00:26:55,860 for disclosure so take Chris melon as an 703 00:27:01,130 --> 00:26:56,760 example 704 00:27:02,930 --> 00:27:01,140 he's been more open recently saying you 705 00:27:05,029 --> 00:27:02,940 know he he was more and more he was more 706 00:27:08,090 --> 00:27:05,039 Coy last year than the year before right 707 00:27:10,850 --> 00:27:08,100 but he's becoming more outward in terms 708 00:27:12,289 --> 00:27:10,860 of saying the ET hypothesis fits the 709 00:27:13,909 --> 00:27:12,299 data you know that's probably better 710 00:27:16,490 --> 00:27:13,919 than anything else right now or as good 711 00:27:18,409 --> 00:27:16,500 as anything else and 712 00:27:20,690 --> 00:27:18,419 that's interesting because I think a lot 713 00:27:23,289 --> 00:27:20,700 of us in this community earlier in the 714 00:27:25,970 --> 00:27:23,299 year and in back in 2021 715 00:27:28,370 --> 00:27:25,980 we're talking about Ultra terrestrials a 716 00:27:30,649 --> 00:27:28,380 lot right and uh 717 00:27:32,029 --> 00:27:30,659 and so this we were kind of you know 718 00:27:34,070 --> 00:27:32,039 familiar with this notion that maybe 719 00:27:36,470 --> 00:27:34,080 Ichi was not the best fit for the data 720 00:27:38,630 --> 00:27:36,480 kind of like Jacques filet and and John 721 00:27:40,310 --> 00:27:38,640 kill came to those conclusions so then 722 00:27:42,049 --> 00:27:40,320 you ask yourself and this is what I try 723 00:27:43,549 --> 00:27:42,059 to encourage people to do right when you 724 00:27:46,190 --> 00:27:43,559 hear someone like Chris Mellon making a 725 00:27:48,110 --> 00:27:46,200 statement like that don't just say this 726 00:27:49,669 --> 00:27:48,120 guy had a high ranking position in the 727 00:27:51,950 --> 00:27:49,679 U.S military so he must know what he's 728 00:27:54,169 --> 00:27:51,960 talking about he may but don't assume 729 00:27:56,450 --> 00:27:54,179 that what I would say is step back and 730 00:28:00,230 --> 00:27:56,460 ask yourself is it his level of 731 00:28:03,710 --> 00:28:00,240 Consciousness is it his biases that make 732 00:28:05,510 --> 00:28:03,720 him say ET is the best option is ET 733 00:28:07,310 --> 00:28:05,520 better than the ultra terrestrial for 734 00:28:09,110 --> 00:28:07,320 instance it may be better than a than a 735 00:28:11,930 --> 00:28:09,120 terrestrial conventional power right 736 00:28:13,669 --> 00:28:11,940 like the Russians or the Chinese or Iran 737 00:28:15,529 --> 00:28:13,679 or something but is it better than 738 00:28:18,049 --> 00:28:15,539 ultra-terrestrial or interdimensional 739 00:28:19,490 --> 00:28:18,059 and and how would he know that right I 740 00:28:21,710 --> 00:28:19,500 would pause it to you that it's not a 741 00:28:24,470 --> 00:28:21,720 better fit but he actually just prefers 742 00:28:26,390 --> 00:28:24,480 like you began this conversation he kind 743 00:28:28,130 --> 00:28:26,400 of leans towards E.T because it makes 744 00:28:31,430 --> 00:28:28,140 sense to him he he can grapple with that 745 00:28:33,409 --> 00:28:31,440 one it's exists within his worldview so 746 00:28:35,090 --> 00:28:33,419 for for his worldview that's the most 747 00:28:36,950 --> 00:28:35,100 obvious fit but that's a good example 748 00:28:39,049 --> 00:28:36,960 that just because it's the best fit for 749 00:28:41,269 --> 00:28:39,059 him doesn't mean it's ultimately the 750 00:28:43,669 --> 00:28:41,279 right answer 751 00:28:46,730 --> 00:28:43,679 and you know to kind of take that point 752 00:28:50,210 --> 00:28:46,740 a little further too it's um you know 753 00:28:52,430 --> 00:28:50,220 how could it not change right so if we 754 00:28:55,789 --> 00:28:52,440 had a time machine right now we could go 755 00:28:58,610 --> 00:28:55,799 into the future A Thousand Years uh and 756 00:29:00,409 --> 00:28:58,620 and just well let's let's kind of take 757 00:29:02,630 --> 00:29:00,419 you know ETS out of the equation but 758 00:29:05,750 --> 00:29:02,640 let's look at Future Humanity in our 759 00:29:07,730 --> 00:29:05,760 understanding of of reality in a 760 00:29:09,769 --> 00:29:07,740 thousand years right it's not going to 761 00:29:11,930 --> 00:29:09,779 look anything like our understanding of 762 00:29:13,549 --> 00:29:11,940 reality today 763 00:29:15,590 --> 00:29:13,559 um the people of a thousand years from 764 00:29:16,909 --> 00:29:15,600 now will read about today and they'll 765 00:29:19,130 --> 00:29:16,919 think oh wow 766 00:29:20,750 --> 00:29:19,140 look how much they got wrong like like I 767 00:29:25,850 --> 00:29:20,760 mean they thought this unbelievable 768 00:29:29,450 --> 00:29:25,860 right I mean so that to me is um 769 00:29:31,430 --> 00:29:29,460 I I view that as a Core Fact of of re of 770 00:29:33,350 --> 00:29:31,440 of reality of experience that it's it's 771 00:29:35,330 --> 00:29:33,360 shifting it's changing that it's 772 00:29:37,250 --> 00:29:35,340 conditioned that it's contextual like 773 00:29:40,250 --> 00:29:37,260 these are things that are just part and 774 00:29:42,649 --> 00:29:40,260 parcel of of living and having a spatial 775 00:29:46,310 --> 00:29:42,659 temporal experience 776 00:29:49,310 --> 00:29:46,320 um and you know when I acknowledge that 777 00:29:50,389 --> 00:29:49,320 and and I'm honest with that truth I 778 00:29:54,289 --> 00:29:50,399 can't help 779 00:29:56,389 --> 00:29:54,299 but play that exercise and and play it 780 00:29:58,850 --> 00:29:56,399 backwards and forwards and then and then 781 00:30:01,130 --> 00:29:58,860 come out of that exercise going wow what 782 00:30:04,310 --> 00:30:01,140 you know what do we really know what can 783 00:30:06,289 --> 00:30:04,320 we really say definitively you know what 784 00:30:08,269 --> 00:30:06,299 what can we say ontologically about what 785 00:30:10,250 --> 00:30:08,279 what this happens to be 786 00:30:12,710 --> 00:30:10,260 and I think that's a lot of what you and 787 00:30:15,889 --> 00:30:12,720 I have really tried hard to wrestle with 788 00:30:18,789 --> 00:30:15,899 here is that uh our 789 00:30:21,169 --> 00:30:18,799 you know our taxonomy like our our 790 00:30:23,210 --> 00:30:21,179 attempts at labeling whatever this is 791 00:30:25,370 --> 00:30:23,220 like they always kind of fall short to 792 00:30:27,230 --> 00:30:25,380 some degree and they always will because 793 00:30:29,090 --> 00:30:27,240 as new information it enters the 794 00:30:31,549 --> 00:30:29,100 equation we have to take that into 795 00:30:34,909 --> 00:30:31,559 account and reframe 796 00:30:36,470 --> 00:30:34,919 uh what our understanding of it happens 797 00:30:37,130 --> 00:30:36,480 to be 798 00:30:39,590 --> 00:30:37,140 um 799 00:30:41,690 --> 00:30:39,600 as part of that exercise as well and 800 00:30:43,970 --> 00:30:41,700 we've talked about this a ton you know 801 00:30:46,370 --> 00:30:43,980 lies sort of the root of understanding 802 00:30:48,409 --> 00:30:46,380 the root of experience and that is our 803 00:30:49,730 --> 00:30:48,419 conscious awareness right so if we're 804 00:30:52,190 --> 00:30:49,740 kind of coming down into first 805 00:30:54,710 --> 00:30:52,200 principles you know conscious awareness 806 00:30:57,350 --> 00:30:54,720 for you and I has become this kind of 807 00:31:00,409 --> 00:30:57,360 lodestar and it's helping us uh 808 00:31:03,169 --> 00:31:00,419 understand and approach every facet of 809 00:31:05,269 --> 00:31:03,179 of the data because at the end of the 810 00:31:07,010 --> 00:31:05,279 day that's what some that is the most 811 00:31:10,430 --> 00:31:07,020 Solid Ground we feel that we can stand 812 00:31:13,370 --> 00:31:10,440 on is saying we have experience we are 813 00:31:15,590 --> 00:31:13,380 conscious of having experience and that 814 00:31:17,149 --> 00:31:15,600 colors everything else 815 00:31:18,649 --> 00:31:17,159 um so I don't know if you want to kind 816 00:31:20,510 --> 00:31:18,659 of expound a little bit on that but to 817 00:31:21,230 --> 00:31:20,520 me like that's the 818 00:31:23,450 --> 00:31:21,240 um 819 00:31:25,010 --> 00:31:23,460 that that's the whole enchilada in a way 820 00:31:26,690 --> 00:31:25,020 you know kind of thinking about it from 821 00:31:29,510 --> 00:31:26,700 that perspective 822 00:31:31,310 --> 00:31:29,520 um and it definitely allows you to go 823 00:31:31,990 --> 00:31:31,320 from this 824 00:31:34,850 --> 00:31:32,000 ET 825 00:31:37,730 --> 00:31:34,860 conclusion to something else entirely 826 00:31:38,870 --> 00:31:37,740 but also not to exclude it either I 827 00:31:41,750 --> 00:31:38,880 think that's something that you you 828 00:31:44,330 --> 00:31:41,760 might like to harp on quite a bit 829 00:31:45,590 --> 00:31:44,340 yeah so I think what we can maybe sort 830 00:31:47,510 --> 00:31:45,600 of toggle back and forth a little bit 831 00:31:51,049 --> 00:31:47,520 tonight is between 832 00:31:53,289 --> 00:31:51,059 again just you know Reckoning with 833 00:31:55,310 --> 00:31:53,299 what's on the table in terms of public 834 00:31:57,110 --> 00:31:55,320 disclosure and how that might be 835 00:31:59,810 --> 00:31:57,120 received and what kind of things would 836 00:32:01,370 --> 00:31:59,820 that might include but also talk about 837 00:32:03,649 --> 00:32:01,380 you know the much deeper level what's 838 00:32:06,289 --> 00:32:03,659 what we think is really going on 839 00:32:07,909 --> 00:32:06,299 um and to get to the point you just 840 00:32:11,149 --> 00:32:07,919 brought up you know with conscious 841 00:32:12,710 --> 00:32:11,159 experience yeah the notion there is that 842 00:32:15,230 --> 00:32:12,720 when you really think about it this is 843 00:32:16,250 --> 00:32:15,240 the one thing we're sure of is that the 844 00:32:17,690 --> 00:32:16,260 fact that we're asking that question 845 00:32:19,549 --> 00:32:17,700 suggests we're having a conscious 846 00:32:21,409 --> 00:32:19,559 experience asking about our conscious 847 00:32:23,870 --> 00:32:21,419 experience right 848 00:32:25,789 --> 00:32:23,880 um when we posit the notion of a 849 00:32:28,190 --> 00:32:25,799 physical world that exists outside of 850 00:32:31,310 --> 00:32:28,200 that conscious experience that's an 851 00:32:33,350 --> 00:32:31,320 abstraction for which we have no proof 852 00:32:34,490 --> 00:32:33,360 nor could we ever have proof because of 853 00:32:36,769 --> 00:32:34,500 the same thing I said in the beginning 854 00:32:38,630 --> 00:32:36,779 you can't extract yourself from the 855 00:32:41,690 --> 00:32:38,640 equation you know we are part of 856 00:32:43,789 --> 00:32:41,700 whatever this is right our you know 857 00:32:45,289 --> 00:32:43,799 entanglement which again I think quantum 858 00:32:47,510 --> 00:32:45,299 theory only gets us part way there but 859 00:32:49,730 --> 00:32:47,520 it's a helpful pointer saying that you 860 00:32:51,649 --> 00:32:49,740 you can't ultimately separate who you 861 00:32:53,029 --> 00:32:51,659 are from the table you're sitting at 862 00:32:55,730 --> 00:32:53,039 right 863 00:32:57,289 --> 00:32:55,740 um the reason why telepathy works you 864 00:32:59,450 --> 00:32:57,299 know and and precognition and things 865 00:33:01,190 --> 00:32:59,460 like that and I might get a Vibe about 866 00:33:02,810 --> 00:33:01,200 what Nathan's thinking without him 867 00:33:04,490 --> 00:33:02,820 telling me and without really seeing it 868 00:33:06,169 --> 00:33:04,500 in his facial expression and it's 869 00:33:08,330 --> 00:33:06,179 because there's these porous boundaries 870 00:33:10,310 --> 00:33:08,340 and some of this energy can cross over 871 00:33:11,090 --> 00:33:10,320 and and you can actually develop that 872 00:33:14,570 --> 00:33:11,100 skill 873 00:33:16,370 --> 00:33:14,580 on with someone else and of course these 874 00:33:19,850 --> 00:33:16,380 others this is why I use this word 875 00:33:22,190 --> 00:33:19,860 intermentation they excel at that right 876 00:33:24,590 --> 00:33:22,200 they just it's Child's Play for them so 877 00:33:27,350 --> 00:33:24,600 so this is kind of what's on the table 878 00:33:28,850 --> 00:33:27,360 um in terms of moving from a physicalist 879 00:33:30,529 --> 00:33:28,860 interpretation of any of those right 880 00:33:32,930 --> 00:33:30,539 ultraterrestrial extraterrestrial 881 00:33:34,610 --> 00:33:32,940 interdimensional which again when I say 882 00:33:37,669 --> 00:33:34,620 interdimensional I kind of mean more 883 00:33:39,110 --> 00:33:37,679 intermentational like you know fields of 884 00:33:41,690 --> 00:33:39,120 mentation 885 00:33:43,490 --> 00:33:41,700 um mind spaces not so much different 886 00:33:45,830 --> 00:33:43,500 physical Universe was sitting side by 887 00:33:47,269 --> 00:33:45,840 side kind of thing so I use that term a 888 00:33:49,310 --> 00:33:47,279 bit differently 889 00:33:51,110 --> 00:33:49,320 um 890 00:33:53,750 --> 00:33:51,120 but I think getting back to what we were 891 00:33:55,190 --> 00:33:53,760 talking about you know with uh with what 892 00:33:57,169 --> 00:33:55,200 Chris mellon's saying and all that kind 893 00:34:00,470 --> 00:33:57,179 of thing one thing I wanted to point out 894 00:34:04,070 --> 00:34:00,480 with him that just struck me in in this 895 00:34:06,230 --> 00:34:04,080 disclosure process as really absurd 896 00:34:08,030 --> 00:34:06,240 is how 897 00:34:10,129 --> 00:34:08,040 he's basically I was saying let me read 898 00:34:12,169 --> 00:34:10,139 a read a tweet that I wrote today 899 00:34:13,849 --> 00:34:12,179 um in regards to this I said the fact 900 00:34:16,129 --> 00:34:13,859 that Chris Mellon a former government 901 00:34:18,649 --> 00:34:16,139 employee has to do the job of 902 00:34:20,389 --> 00:34:18,659 journalists in telling them about how 903 00:34:23,030 --> 00:34:20,399 elements of the military establishment 904 00:34:26,089 --> 00:34:23,040 are actually stonewalling on the topic 905 00:34:28,730 --> 00:34:26,099 of UFO slash UAP disclosure says a lot 906 00:34:31,010 --> 00:34:28,740 about where things really stand 907 00:34:32,629 --> 00:34:31,020 and what I was getting at there was he's 908 00:34:34,609 --> 00:34:32,639 basically been saying lately hey 909 00:34:35,930 --> 00:34:34,619 journalists just so you know actually 910 00:34:38,510 --> 00:34:35,940 when you say that the military 911 00:34:40,430 --> 00:34:38,520 establishment is making major uh moves 912 00:34:41,869 --> 00:34:40,440 towards trying to release this he's like 913 00:34:43,970 --> 00:34:41,879 nothing could be further from the truth 914 00:34:47,149 --> 00:34:43,980 like he's saying that his experiences 915 00:34:49,730 --> 00:34:47,159 that every inch of disclosure we get is 916 00:34:52,190 --> 00:34:49,740 from putting feet to the fire and not 917 00:34:53,329 --> 00:34:52,200 stopping that none of these very few of 918 00:34:55,730 --> 00:34:53,339 these insiders and the military 919 00:34:57,109 --> 00:34:55,740 establishment want to disclose this 920 00:34:59,030 --> 00:34:57,119 stuff sure there are some individual 921 00:35:00,770 --> 00:34:59,040 people that do and perhaps they're the 922 00:35:02,329 --> 00:35:00,780 ones that'll finally step forward with a 923 00:35:05,030 --> 00:35:02,339 whistleblower 924 00:35:07,010 --> 00:35:05,040 um kind of elements that allow them to 925 00:35:09,530 --> 00:35:07,020 do it without being you know prosecuted 926 00:35:11,030 --> 00:35:09,540 and without having to suffer 927 00:35:14,390 --> 00:35:11,040 um jail time or something for violating 928 00:35:16,370 --> 00:35:14,400 an NDA but the truth is and we've talked 929 00:35:18,670 --> 00:35:16,380 about this before on this show that you 930 00:35:22,790 --> 00:35:18,680 have this kind of institutionalized 931 00:35:24,710 --> 00:35:22,800 secrecy campaign right that's been uh so 932 00:35:27,050 --> 00:35:24,720 built into the structure of the military 933 00:35:29,150 --> 00:35:27,060 establishment that even if it had good 934 00:35:30,890 --> 00:35:29,160 reasons early on right like maybe in the 935 00:35:32,630 --> 00:35:30,900 midst of a cold war when there really 936 00:35:34,550 --> 00:35:32,640 were a lot of double agents in the CIA 937 00:35:35,750 --> 00:35:34,560 for instance that were Soviet 938 00:35:37,790 --> 00:35:35,760 sympathizers 939 00:35:40,310 --> 00:35:37,800 I can completely understand why they 940 00:35:42,950 --> 00:35:40,320 felt like you really had to you know 941 00:35:44,810 --> 00:35:42,960 um have the siloing of information need 942 00:35:47,750 --> 00:35:44,820 to know right that made a lot of sense 943 00:35:50,150 --> 00:35:47,760 back then but what begins as making 944 00:35:52,250 --> 00:35:50,160 sense soon is just something that is 945 00:35:55,190 --> 00:35:52,260 part of the culture you know I gave this 946 00:35:57,109 --> 00:35:55,200 analogy this week to some friends 947 00:35:58,670 --> 00:35:57,119 um this one uh this one mother was 948 00:36:01,069 --> 00:35:58,680 cooking her turkey for Thanksgiving 949 00:36:03,589 --> 00:36:01,079 which pains me as a vegetarian but let's 950 00:36:05,630 --> 00:36:03,599 just go with it so she's cooking this 951 00:36:06,890 --> 00:36:05,640 turkey and she would cut off the edges 952 00:36:08,990 --> 00:36:06,900 of the turkey before she put in the oven 953 00:36:10,130 --> 00:36:09,000 right yeah and so one of her kids says 954 00:36:12,530 --> 00:36:10,140 hey Mom why do you why do you cut the 955 00:36:14,630 --> 00:36:12,540 edges off the turkey and the mom goes 956 00:36:16,370 --> 00:36:14,640 wow I'm not sure I guess just because 957 00:36:18,170 --> 00:36:16,380 that's what my mom did so she calls up 958 00:36:19,790 --> 00:36:18,180 her mom and says hey Mom why do you cut 959 00:36:20,930 --> 00:36:19,800 the edges off the turkey anyway she's 960 00:36:22,550 --> 00:36:20,940 like well that's because that's what my 961 00:36:24,710 --> 00:36:22,560 mom did so let's call out great grandma 962 00:36:25,790 --> 00:36:24,720 and ask her that color up and says why 963 00:36:27,290 --> 00:36:25,800 do we cut off the edges of the turkey 964 00:36:28,089 --> 00:36:27,300 and she says well because we had a small 965 00:36:31,670 --> 00:36:28,099 oven 966 00:36:33,410 --> 00:36:31,680 right so so the notion there is that so 967 00:36:34,609 --> 00:36:33,420 now these modern you know families have 968 00:36:35,690 --> 00:36:34,619 these massive ovens they're still 969 00:36:37,430 --> 00:36:35,700 cutting the edges off the turkey just 970 00:36:39,410 --> 00:36:37,440 because that's the culture right yeah 971 00:36:41,150 --> 00:36:39,420 it's just inherited it's not questioned 972 00:36:43,190 --> 00:36:41,160 there's this sense that what's come 973 00:36:45,290 --> 00:36:43,200 before you there must be good reasoning 974 00:36:46,910 --> 00:36:45,300 behind it right and I think that's 975 00:36:48,650 --> 00:36:46,920 probably what we're dealing with uh with 976 00:36:51,650 --> 00:36:48,660 the entrenchment in the military 977 00:36:54,230 --> 00:36:51,660 establishment right there's inertia 978 00:36:56,930 --> 00:36:54,240 there that is unavoidable and that 979 00:36:59,270 --> 00:36:56,940 that's true of um not just of the 980 00:37:01,790 --> 00:36:59,280 military uh scenario that that you 981 00:37:03,589 --> 00:37:01,800 reference but but of our our reality as 982 00:37:06,589 --> 00:37:03,599 well right we were born into a world 983 00:37:09,109 --> 00:37:06,599 that has inherited inertia from those 984 00:37:10,910 --> 00:37:09,119 who've come before us and we're always 985 00:37:13,670 --> 00:37:10,920 we're like swimming in that 986 00:37:15,950 --> 00:37:13,680 World from from day one you know we're 987 00:37:18,230 --> 00:37:15,960 navigating it and and as we're 988 00:37:19,130 --> 00:37:18,240 navigating it we're finding oh wait a 989 00:37:21,410 --> 00:37:19,140 minute like 990 00:37:23,810 --> 00:37:21,420 uh I've discovered this other thing here 991 00:37:25,130 --> 00:37:23,820 that has anyone seen this and everyone's 992 00:37:27,650 --> 00:37:25,140 like nah actually I've never seen that 993 00:37:29,630 --> 00:37:27,660 before uh and and it's but it's been 994 00:37:31,310 --> 00:37:29,640 there the whole time that they have been 995 00:37:34,130 --> 00:37:31,320 able to see it because they don't have 996 00:37:35,390 --> 00:37:34,140 that New Perspective and when you're you 997 00:37:38,450 --> 00:37:35,400 know sort of 998 00:37:41,510 --> 00:37:38,460 thrust into that environment as a as an 999 00:37:43,910 --> 00:37:41,520 alien let's put it that way uh you don't 1000 00:37:45,890 --> 00:37:43,920 see the world the way that the residents 1001 00:37:48,470 --> 00:37:45,900 happen to see it you know you see it as 1002 00:37:51,530 --> 00:37:48,480 a foreigner and foreigners pick up on 1003 00:37:54,349 --> 00:37:51,540 things that that residents don't see but 1004 00:37:55,670 --> 00:37:54,359 they by pointing those things out they 1005 00:37:58,310 --> 00:37:55,680 change the world 1006 00:37:59,930 --> 00:37:58,320 right so by recognizing that these 1007 00:38:03,230 --> 00:37:59,940 things are there and and drawing 1008 00:38:04,790 --> 00:38:03,240 attention to them you you reshape the 1009 00:38:07,490 --> 00:38:04,800 fabric of the world and then that 1010 00:38:10,010 --> 00:38:07,500 becomes a new world that those who are 1011 00:38:13,069 --> 00:38:10,020 born into it inherit and that process 1012 00:38:14,930 --> 00:38:13,079 continues at infinitum 1013 00:38:16,550 --> 00:38:14,940 um and so with that thought I mean I 1014 00:38:18,170 --> 00:38:16,560 wonder if we could take a second here to 1015 00:38:21,710 --> 00:38:18,180 think go through the thought experiment 1016 00:38:25,130 --> 00:38:21,720 of you know let's say that uh 1017 00:38:26,569 --> 00:38:25,140 this takes a lot of traction in 2023 and 1018 00:38:27,950 --> 00:38:26,579 you're having a conversation with a 1019 00:38:29,410 --> 00:38:27,960 family member or whatever who's new to 1020 00:38:32,390 --> 00:38:29,420 this I mean 1021 00:38:34,250 --> 00:38:32,400 how long do you take between going yeah 1022 00:38:36,410 --> 00:38:34,260 like at CT like that's pretty cool and 1023 00:38:39,230 --> 00:38:36,420 then saying but it could also be you 1024 00:38:40,490 --> 00:38:39,240 know like how do you kind of responsibly 1025 00:38:42,349 --> 00:38:40,500 and I think you have to think about it 1026 00:38:45,349 --> 00:38:42,359 doing responsibly how do you responsibly 1027 00:38:48,470 --> 00:38:45,359 kind of walk them through these other 1028 00:38:50,510 --> 00:38:48,480 scenarios of possibility 1029 00:38:52,190 --> 00:38:50,520 um all while all the while saying you 1030 00:38:55,250 --> 00:38:52,200 know but but I could be wrong you know 1031 00:38:57,829 --> 00:38:55,260 it could just really be E.T 1032 00:39:00,170 --> 00:38:57,839 um but it could also be that this you 1033 00:39:02,270 --> 00:39:00,180 know these other things and here's here 1034 00:39:04,130 --> 00:39:02,280 here is some evidence and some anecdote 1035 00:39:05,870 --> 00:39:04,140 to consider that point in those 1036 00:39:08,569 --> 00:39:05,880 directions so that we have to Grapple 1037 00:39:11,870 --> 00:39:08,579 with uh and also gets the question of 1038 00:39:14,930 --> 00:39:11,880 who has the core answers here who has 1039 00:39:16,430 --> 00:39:14,940 the best knowledge and I think that that 1040 00:39:18,530 --> 00:39:16,440 that's kind of a false assumption that 1041 00:39:21,290 --> 00:39:18,540 many people make When approaching this 1042 00:39:24,050 --> 00:39:21,300 topic that there is some sort of grand 1043 00:39:27,589 --> 00:39:24,060 you know Wise and Record Keeper in the 1044 00:39:29,569 --> 00:39:27,599 library of you know Uso lore who has 1045 00:39:32,390 --> 00:39:29,579 access to all of the grand secrets and 1046 00:39:34,609 --> 00:39:32,400 they have the the truth and I think that 1047 00:39:37,069 --> 00:39:34,619 that's something that is a is a 1048 00:39:38,750 --> 00:39:37,079 fallacious way of thinking about this 1049 00:39:40,609 --> 00:39:38,760 issue 1050 00:39:42,170 --> 00:39:40,619 yeah for sure 1051 00:39:44,510 --> 00:39:42,180 um 1052 00:39:46,190 --> 00:39:44,520 you know I think part of the irony is 1053 00:39:49,069 --> 00:39:46,200 that a lot of experiencers are waiting 1054 00:39:50,930 --> 00:39:49,079 for public disclosure from some known 1055 00:39:53,210 --> 00:39:50,940 Authority right so they can feel 1056 00:39:54,589 --> 00:39:53,220 Justified and Vindicated around friends 1057 00:39:56,750 --> 00:39:54,599 and family and colleagues that maybe 1058 00:39:57,950 --> 00:39:56,760 made fun of them or thought they had 1059 00:40:01,010 --> 00:39:57,960 lost it 1060 00:40:02,870 --> 00:40:01,020 but of course even then a lot of their 1061 00:40:04,790 --> 00:40:02,880 experience with the actual phenomenon 1062 00:40:06,530 --> 00:40:04,800 will still be a far cry from what 1063 00:40:09,230 --> 00:40:06,540 actually gets disclosed right so maybe 1064 00:40:11,990 --> 00:40:09,240 there will be this discussion about 1065 00:40:14,569 --> 00:40:12,000 um you know the ET possibility maybe but 1066 00:40:16,310 --> 00:40:14,579 but it goes a lot further than that 1067 00:40:17,270 --> 00:40:16,320 um I think for me and we were talking 1068 00:40:18,230 --> 00:40:17,280 about this before when on the Air 1069 00:40:19,970 --> 00:40:18,240 Tonight 1070 00:40:23,630 --> 00:40:19,980 just how difficult it is for people 1071 00:40:26,450 --> 00:40:23,640 again to to Really shift out of a 1072 00:40:30,109 --> 00:40:26,460 physicalist paradigm to actually say 1073 00:40:32,150 --> 00:40:30,119 it's just not that Consciousness impacts 1074 00:40:34,490 --> 00:40:32,160 physical reality but that physical 1075 00:40:35,810 --> 00:40:34,500 reality doesn't really exist that that's 1076 00:40:38,390 --> 00:40:35,820 just 1077 00:40:38,930 --> 00:40:38,400 a surface layer manifestation it's it's 1078 00:40:42,530 --> 00:40:38,940 um 1079 00:40:44,870 --> 00:40:42,540 it's Consciousness in excitation right 1080 00:40:47,569 --> 00:40:44,880 so uh the same way that you would say a 1081 00:40:49,609 --> 00:40:47,579 Whirlpool or a wheat or a wave is 1082 00:40:52,490 --> 00:40:49,619 fundamentally still water it's just 1083 00:40:54,109 --> 00:40:52,500 water and excitation right dancing water 1084 00:40:57,410 --> 00:40:54,119 that's the same notion here that 1085 00:40:59,270 --> 00:40:57,420 everything from this field that's 1086 00:41:01,970 --> 00:40:59,280 maintaining this sense of this granite 1087 00:41:04,010 --> 00:41:01,980 countertop to who you are to who I am 1088 00:41:06,710 --> 00:41:04,020 all of these are temporary 1089 00:41:09,950 --> 00:41:06,720 manifestations of Consciousness and you 1090 00:41:11,990 --> 00:41:09,960 can have a temporary localization of 1091 00:41:14,210 --> 00:41:12,000 some sort of what looks like an object 1092 00:41:16,430 --> 00:41:14,220 which you can call an object or a 1093 00:41:18,950 --> 00:41:16,440 discrete individual person but really 1094 00:41:21,410 --> 00:41:18,960 that's not what they are that's just a 1095 00:41:23,510 --> 00:41:21,420 dance of energy really is what's going 1096 00:41:25,430 --> 00:41:23,520 on so 1097 00:41:27,770 --> 00:41:25,440 again we see lots of hints of this 1098 00:41:30,170 --> 00:41:27,780 already in quantum theory and as I've 1099 00:41:32,089 --> 00:41:30,180 talked about before there are physicists 1100 00:41:34,310 --> 00:41:32,099 like Nema arkane himmed who are doing 1101 00:41:36,050 --> 00:41:34,320 groundbreaking work because they've 1102 00:41:38,329 --> 00:41:36,060 recognized that even quantum theory 1103 00:41:40,970 --> 00:41:38,339 doesn't go far enough that you know 1104 00:41:42,410 --> 00:41:40,980 space time is fundamentally broken you 1105 00:41:44,690 --> 00:41:42,420 know as Donald Hoffman likes to quote 1106 00:41:46,190 --> 00:41:44,700 Ahmed he always says space-time is 1107 00:41:46,910 --> 00:41:46,200 doomed right and what he means by that 1108 00:41:49,370 --> 00:41:46,920 is 1109 00:41:51,589 --> 00:41:49,380 there's no way you can rescue that model 1110 00:41:54,109 --> 00:41:51,599 we already know enough to say that model 1111 00:41:55,250 --> 00:41:54,119 is not tenable it's not even just has a 1112 00:41:57,170 --> 00:41:55,260 few holes we've got to figure out which 1113 00:41:59,810 --> 00:41:57,180 is what most people tend to believe 1114 00:42:00,829 --> 00:41:59,820 right without without real evidence his 1115 00:42:02,150 --> 00:42:00,839 Guinea because like you talked about 1116 00:42:04,670 --> 00:42:02,160 it's just what they've inherited right 1117 00:42:07,790 --> 00:42:04,680 we assume that if it's this strong 1118 00:42:09,770 --> 00:42:07,800 there's so much ascribing and 1119 00:42:11,750 --> 00:42:09,780 subscription I should say to this model 1120 00:42:13,730 --> 00:42:11,760 throughout our culture we assume there 1121 00:42:15,109 --> 00:42:13,740 must be good reason for it right and in 1122 00:42:16,730 --> 00:42:15,119 some ways there are we've talked about 1123 00:42:20,569 --> 00:42:16,740 this right how 1124 00:42:22,069 --> 00:42:20,579 science has been able to transform our 1125 00:42:23,870 --> 00:42:22,079 civilization right we've been able to 1126 00:42:25,730 --> 00:42:23,880 manipulate space-time in ways that we've 1127 00:42:28,910 --> 00:42:25,740 transformed our lives so tripled life 1128 00:42:30,230 --> 00:42:28,920 expectancy and you know we've got now ai 1129 00:42:31,430 --> 00:42:30,240 systems that can do a bunch of stuff 1130 00:42:34,670 --> 00:42:31,440 that we used to have to do ourselves 1131 00:42:38,930 --> 00:42:34,680 before right that's just beginning right 1132 00:42:40,490 --> 00:42:38,940 but that's all uh modeling nature right 1133 00:42:42,290 --> 00:42:40,500 predicting what nature is going to do it 1134 00:42:43,849 --> 00:42:42,300 doesn't tell you what nature actually is 1135 00:42:46,730 --> 00:42:43,859 underlyingly and that's the question 1136 00:42:48,530 --> 00:42:46,740 here not just what is nature 1137 00:42:52,069 --> 00:42:48,540 underlyingly what is the fabric of 1138 00:42:54,170 --> 00:42:52,079 reality but how would a different answer 1139 00:42:55,790 --> 00:42:54,180 to that question completely change the 1140 00:42:57,710 --> 00:42:55,800 UFO phenomenon question and the 1141 00:42:59,450 --> 00:42:57,720 paranormality question and the life 1142 00:43:01,970 --> 00:42:59,460 after death question and The Apparition 1143 00:43:05,630 --> 00:43:01,980 question right in other words all these 1144 00:43:07,609 --> 00:43:05,640 were connected because they are 1145 00:43:09,470 --> 00:43:07,619 um you know extensions of this one 1146 00:43:13,130 --> 00:43:09,480 question what is the nature of reality 1147 00:43:15,710 --> 00:43:13,140 and I'm saying that remarkably we don't 1148 00:43:17,450 --> 00:43:15,720 need government disclosure on this all 1149 00:43:18,890 --> 00:43:17,460 the signs were already there that the 1150 00:43:20,870 --> 00:43:18,900 physicalist model that tells you that 1151 00:43:22,910 --> 00:43:20,880 there's a material world apart from your 1152 00:43:25,490 --> 00:43:22,920 Consciousness or even worse that your 1153 00:43:27,530 --> 00:43:25,500 Consciousness is actually a byproduct of 1154 00:43:29,750 --> 00:43:27,540 some of the excitation of you know 1155 00:43:32,270 --> 00:43:29,760 biochemical processes which when they 1156 00:43:34,190 --> 00:43:32,280 break down there's nothing to you we 1157 00:43:36,170 --> 00:43:34,200 know that that's not true we there's 1158 00:43:37,970 --> 00:43:36,180 there's evidence now suggesting that 1159 00:43:39,770 --> 00:43:37,980 again the physicalist model is 1160 00:43:41,450 --> 00:43:39,780 completely untenable you cannot rescue 1161 00:43:44,270 --> 00:43:41,460 it it's not going through a tough phase 1162 00:43:45,349 --> 00:43:44,280 it just cannot be rescued and for those 1163 00:43:47,170 --> 00:43:45,359 who are really interested in learning 1164 00:43:49,609 --> 00:43:47,180 more about this I'd really recommend 1165 00:43:52,849 --> 00:43:49,619 Bernardo castrip and the Essentia 1166 00:43:55,849 --> 00:43:52,859 foundations analytic uh 1167 00:43:58,849 --> 00:43:55,859 idealism course where he breaks us down 1168 00:44:00,770 --> 00:43:58,859 really helps us understand how some of 1169 00:44:02,390 --> 00:44:00,780 what he calls our our basic intuitions 1170 00:44:04,670 --> 00:44:02,400 or what I would say are our 1171 00:44:06,410 --> 00:44:04,680 preconceptions or strong biases about 1172 00:44:09,349 --> 00:44:06,420 there being a physical world he 1173 00:44:11,809 --> 00:44:09,359 demonstrates methodically step by step 1174 00:44:12,589 --> 00:44:11,819 how it's just not the case 1175 00:44:15,950 --> 00:44:12,599 um 1176 00:44:17,870 --> 00:44:15,960 so you know you I think for me this is 1177 00:44:19,250 --> 00:44:17,880 why this is so fascinating because I'm 1178 00:44:21,410 --> 00:44:19,260 interested in what's happening in the 1179 00:44:24,170 --> 00:44:21,420 public sphere but I'm also aware that 1180 00:44:25,970 --> 00:44:24,180 it's come it's really that only gets you 1181 00:44:27,650 --> 00:44:25,980 halfway there right even if you get to 1182 00:44:30,589 --> 00:44:27,660 the the disclosure that there's other 1183 00:44:31,490 --> 00:44:30,599 beings and they have craft that seem to 1184 00:44:33,770 --> 00:44:31,500 be 1185 00:44:35,030 --> 00:44:33,780 you know sort of physical but sort of 1186 00:44:36,530 --> 00:44:35,040 not you know we're not even sure what 1187 00:44:37,730 --> 00:44:36,540 that is 1188 00:44:39,589 --> 00:44:37,740 um and 1189 00:44:41,510 --> 00:44:39,599 there's that but then there's this other 1190 00:44:43,130 --> 00:44:41,520 question which completely reframes the 1191 00:44:44,569 --> 00:44:43,140 first one so it's actually the deeper 1192 00:44:47,930 --> 00:44:44,579 and more important question which is 1193 00:44:49,849 --> 00:44:47,940 what is the fabric of reality 1194 00:44:52,430 --> 00:44:49,859 yeah and I you know I think about this 1195 00:44:57,170 --> 00:44:52,440 too from the perspective of 1196 00:45:04,490 --> 00:45:01,849 I think redeems The Human Experience and 1197 00:45:06,770 --> 00:45:04,500 I look around the world that I'm in now 1198 00:45:10,309 --> 00:45:06,780 and I see 1199 00:45:13,250 --> 00:45:10,319 this Poverty of 1200 00:45:15,109 --> 00:45:13,260 of understanding a Poverty of our of our 1201 00:45:17,690 --> 00:45:15,119 meaning making systems like the the 1202 00:45:19,910 --> 00:45:17,700 they're kind of broken 1203 00:45:22,430 --> 00:45:19,920 um they they worked for for a very long 1204 00:45:24,109 --> 00:45:22,440 time and and ordered the world and as 1205 00:45:27,410 --> 00:45:24,119 you pointed out earlier like have 1206 00:45:29,569 --> 00:45:27,420 resulted in great advancements and 1207 00:45:31,550 --> 00:45:29,579 you know I've helped us make sense of 1208 00:45:33,829 --> 00:45:31,560 you know who we are as a people and a 1209 00:45:35,329 --> 00:45:33,839 civilization and and that you know 1210 00:45:37,190 --> 00:45:35,339 they've done a lot of damage too in the 1211 00:45:38,270 --> 00:45:37,200 process that's not well forget you have 1212 00:45:40,309 --> 00:45:38,280 to point that out 1213 00:45:44,030 --> 00:45:40,319 but we are at this place this juncture 1214 00:45:46,130 --> 00:45:44,040 in time now where 1215 00:45:47,750 --> 00:45:46,140 those systems are failing you know 1216 00:45:50,990 --> 00:45:47,760 they're they're really failing they're 1217 00:45:54,170 --> 00:45:51,000 breaking falling apart at the seams and 1218 00:45:56,569 --> 00:45:54,180 uh and I think everyone 1219 00:45:59,390 --> 00:45:56,579 in most everyone that I talk to like 1220 00:46:02,510 --> 00:45:59,400 senses that feels that 1221 00:46:04,730 --> 00:46:02,520 deep in their core but 1222 00:46:07,130 --> 00:46:04,740 we don't have anything that 1223 00:46:09,950 --> 00:46:07,140 is there to replace it or we we're 1224 00:46:12,230 --> 00:46:09,960 certainly uh fumbling around in the dark 1225 00:46:14,329 --> 00:46:12,240 you know for something that may be a 1226 00:46:17,510 --> 00:46:14,339 better substitute 1227 00:46:20,569 --> 00:46:17,520 um and for me this topic 1228 00:46:22,970 --> 00:46:20,579 opens the door to that possibility 1229 00:46:24,410 --> 00:46:22,980 right so that's why I look forward to 1230 00:46:25,790 --> 00:46:24,420 this I said this in the last episode I 1231 00:46:28,069 --> 00:46:25,800 look forward to you know these greater 1232 00:46:29,270 --> 00:46:28,079 disclosures because they present these 1233 00:46:31,010 --> 00:46:29,280 opportunities for us to have 1234 00:46:33,650 --> 00:46:31,020 conversations 1235 00:46:37,069 --> 00:46:33,660 with the people that we care about that 1236 00:46:40,910 --> 00:46:39,109 change the way that they relate to 1237 00:46:43,490 --> 00:46:40,920 themselves change the way they relate to 1238 00:46:46,870 --> 00:46:43,500 the world like deepen 1239 00:46:49,430 --> 00:46:46,880 and enhance all of those experiences 1240 00:46:51,650 --> 00:46:49,440 instead of relegating experience you 1241 00:46:52,730 --> 00:46:51,660 know human experience as you said you 1242 00:46:54,770 --> 00:46:52,740 know these little sort of chemical 1243 00:46:58,690 --> 00:46:54,780 processes that basically at the end of 1244 00:47:01,370 --> 00:46:58,700 the day mean not nothing you know we we 1245 00:47:04,130 --> 00:47:01,380 instead Elevate them and say these are 1246 00:47:06,589 --> 00:47:04,140 meaningful this is what Consciousness 1247 00:47:10,670 --> 00:47:06,599 does and that's something we are all 1248 00:47:14,510 --> 00:47:10,680 partaking in and it is beautiful and uh 1249 00:47:17,390 --> 00:47:14,520 and messy and worth celebrating and 1250 00:47:18,770 --> 00:47:17,400 and those strange things that you may 1251 00:47:20,270 --> 00:47:18,780 have experienced or the strange things 1252 00:47:22,609 --> 00:47:20,280 that kind of guide you in your life 1253 00:47:25,130 --> 00:47:22,619 those have meaning they're not just some 1254 00:47:27,829 --> 00:47:25,140 kind of random you know chemical lure 1255 00:47:29,750 --> 00:47:27,839 that you know arises out of your gut 1256 00:47:32,089 --> 00:47:29,760 bacteria or something like that you know 1257 00:47:33,829 --> 00:47:32,099 there's a lot of deeper meaning here at 1258 00:47:36,650 --> 00:47:33,839 stake 1259 00:47:38,290 --> 00:47:36,660 yeah not to mention you know we we are 1260 00:47:40,609 --> 00:47:38,300 quick to ascribe all sorts of 1261 00:47:42,190 --> 00:47:40,619 technological sophistication to these 1262 00:47:44,569 --> 00:47:42,200 others right 1263 00:47:46,550 --> 00:47:44,579 and what they're coming with is very 1264 00:47:48,530 --> 00:47:46,560 often not a physicalist message right 1265 00:47:50,150 --> 00:47:48,540 they're supposedly Beyond us many of 1266 00:47:52,130 --> 00:47:50,160 them and they're saying 1267 00:47:53,870 --> 00:47:52,140 you know you've lost your spiritual 1268 00:47:56,510 --> 00:47:53,880 connection to all that is you've 1269 00:47:59,930 --> 00:47:56,520 believed this illusion of Separation 1270 00:48:01,730 --> 00:47:59,940 right you've believed that you are a 1271 00:48:04,190 --> 00:48:01,740 finite being that is around for a few 1272 00:48:05,569 --> 00:48:04,200 decades and then you're out like a flame 1273 00:48:07,370 --> 00:48:05,579 it never really meant anything right 1274 00:48:09,349 --> 00:48:07,380 it's just a cosmic fluke that even came 1275 00:48:10,970 --> 00:48:09,359 into existence and they're they're not 1276 00:48:12,530 --> 00:48:10,980 saying that right 1277 00:48:14,809 --> 00:48:12,540 and what's interesting to me is I hear 1278 00:48:16,069 --> 00:48:14,819 some people saying uh well they could 1279 00:48:17,510 --> 00:48:16,079 just be tricksters right that might be 1280 00:48:20,450 --> 00:48:17,520 just what they're saying to like fool us 1281 00:48:23,930 --> 00:48:20,460 and I'm like well why do you go there so 1282 00:48:26,750 --> 00:48:25,370 it may have something to do with what 1283 00:48:29,450 --> 00:48:26,760 I've talked about before this this 1284 00:48:31,190 --> 00:48:29,460 integral notion that Ken Wilbur uh 1285 00:48:34,490 --> 00:48:31,200 really championed this notion that the 1286 00:48:36,349 --> 00:48:34,500 pre-trans fallacy that when you are 1287 00:48:37,910 --> 00:48:36,359 actually hearing someone espouse a 1288 00:48:39,890 --> 00:48:37,920 perspective that's beyond your level of 1289 00:48:41,270 --> 00:48:39,900 Consciousness you will misinterpret it 1290 00:48:43,370 --> 00:48:41,280 as a lower 1291 00:48:45,349 --> 00:48:43,380 spiral on the Consciousness spiral right 1292 00:48:47,329 --> 00:48:45,359 it's like a lower level because it 1293 00:48:50,569 --> 00:48:47,339 sounds similar to you so you just place 1294 00:48:52,550 --> 00:48:50,579 it wherever you can right so 1295 00:48:54,109 --> 00:48:52,560 when they hear that sounds like a 1296 00:48:56,390 --> 00:48:54,119 spiritual message you know it sounds a 1297 00:48:58,309 --> 00:48:56,400 bit like Kumbaya to me so maybe these 1298 00:48:59,870 --> 00:48:58,319 are just but clearly they're beyond it 1299 00:49:01,550 --> 00:48:59,880 because they're technological so they 1300 00:49:03,650 --> 00:49:01,560 must be just fooling us right they must 1301 00:49:06,050 --> 00:49:03,660 be trying to dupe us like a cult leader 1302 00:49:07,609 --> 00:49:06,060 or something right so you see I think 1303 00:49:08,870 --> 00:49:07,619 people are not conscious that this is 1304 00:49:10,069 --> 00:49:08,880 what's going on in their mind but I 1305 00:49:12,050 --> 00:49:10,079 think this is what's actually happening 1306 00:49:14,030 --> 00:49:12,060 a lot of the time is that all these 1307 00:49:17,990 --> 00:49:14,040 steps are being made and they end up at 1308 00:49:20,089 --> 00:49:18,000 conclusion d uh when really many of 1309 00:49:22,130 --> 00:49:20,099 those steps in between you could call 1310 00:49:25,490 --> 00:49:22,140 into question because I think we have to 1311 00:49:27,109 --> 00:49:25,500 look at the face of it and say okay they 1312 00:49:29,270 --> 00:49:27,119 certainly seem to be more sophisticated 1313 00:49:31,430 --> 00:49:29,280 than us technologically and it doesn't 1314 00:49:34,069 --> 00:49:31,440 necessarily mean they are morally more 1315 00:49:35,990 --> 00:49:34,079 advanced but it is interesting that so 1316 00:49:37,609 --> 00:49:36,000 often there's this Corollary 1317 00:49:39,410 --> 00:49:37,619 that they're also 1318 00:49:41,089 --> 00:49:39,420 more spiritual nature where they have 1319 00:49:43,190 --> 00:49:41,099 this kind of Oneness message they talk 1320 00:49:45,770 --> 00:49:43,200 about being connected to us we hear 1321 00:49:48,230 --> 00:49:45,780 about experiencers saying that the 1322 00:49:49,609 --> 00:49:48,240 illusion of Separation can dissolve to 1323 00:49:51,410 --> 00:49:49,619 the presence of these others and it was 1324 00:49:53,030 --> 00:49:51,420 kind of confusing and I'm going to say 1325 00:49:54,530 --> 00:49:53,040 discombobulating that's three times one 1326 00:49:56,770 --> 00:49:54,540 episode that's a group of Standards 1327 00:49:59,630 --> 00:49:56,780 right there 1328 00:50:01,490 --> 00:49:59,640 you know to the point where they they 1329 00:50:02,870 --> 00:50:01,500 they they they actually almost 1330 00:50:05,210 --> 00:50:02,880 experience it like a kind of death 1331 00:50:07,130 --> 00:50:05,220 because they're like who am I if I'm not 1332 00:50:08,750 --> 00:50:07,140 this bundle of things I thought I was 1333 00:50:10,849 --> 00:50:08,760 right if I can suddenly be something 1334 00:50:13,190 --> 00:50:10,859 else and still feel this sense of i 1335 00:50:14,809 --> 00:50:13,200 am-ness what does that say about the 1336 00:50:16,609 --> 00:50:14,819 nature of reality and the nature of my 1337 00:50:19,069 --> 00:50:16,619 own consciousness 1338 00:50:21,410 --> 00:50:19,079 yeah and you just to kind of take 1339 00:50:23,809 --> 00:50:21,420 something you said there too that hits 1340 00:50:26,410 --> 00:50:23,819 me a lot recently and that's how we 1341 00:50:30,410 --> 00:50:26,420 equate in our current time we equate 1342 00:50:33,770 --> 00:50:30,420 technology with moral superiority or you 1343 00:50:37,790 --> 00:50:33,780 know there are things in our world today 1344 00:50:40,510 --> 00:50:37,800 that we have adopted that we have uh 1345 00:50:44,750 --> 00:50:40,520 lashed on to as being valuable 1346 00:50:49,250 --> 00:50:44,760 meaningful uh that that signal to our 1347 00:50:52,430 --> 00:50:49,260 society that they are worthy and because 1348 00:50:54,950 --> 00:50:52,440 of that we attach to them 1349 00:50:56,930 --> 00:50:54,960 or whatever comes from them let's put it 1350 00:50:58,910 --> 00:50:56,940 that way whatever comes from them or 1351 00:51:04,010 --> 00:50:58,920 whatever is associated with with those 1352 00:51:06,170 --> 00:51:04,020 things we we Elevate as well and then 1353 00:51:07,970 --> 00:51:06,180 that's really a false you know 1354 00:51:10,430 --> 00:51:07,980 Association 1355 00:51:12,650 --> 00:51:10,440 um and 1356 00:51:14,690 --> 00:51:12,660 you know we really we we're in this 1357 00:51:16,490 --> 00:51:14,700 place I think that that pre-trans 1358 00:51:17,630 --> 00:51:16,500 fallacy is a great example you know 1359 00:51:19,490 --> 00:51:17,640 we're 1360 00:51:20,809 --> 00:51:19,500 we just don't have the language you know 1361 00:51:24,470 --> 00:51:20,819 we we're 1362 00:51:26,510 --> 00:51:24,480 we're doing the best we can and uh we're 1363 00:51:27,950 --> 00:51:26,520 taking some leaps and and guests and and 1364 00:51:30,049 --> 00:51:27,960 understand our guessing and our 1365 00:51:31,970 --> 00:51:30,059 understanding of what this may be but 1366 00:51:35,150 --> 00:51:31,980 all we can do is compare it to what we 1367 00:51:37,069 --> 00:51:35,160 know and and we need to be very honest 1368 00:51:39,650 --> 00:51:37,079 with ourselves these comparisons are 1369 00:51:42,589 --> 00:51:39,660 probably poor 1370 00:51:45,170 --> 00:51:42,599 right right and I I think that 1371 00:51:46,069 --> 00:51:45,180 also uh makes me think about the fact 1372 00:51:48,950 --> 00:51:46,079 that 1373 00:51:50,750 --> 00:51:48,960 we should be careful not to conflate 1374 00:51:54,710 --> 00:51:50,760 the inability for us to comprehend 1375 00:51:57,109 --> 00:51:54,720 something with an intention of Deceit or 1376 00:51:59,150 --> 00:51:57,119 uh hiddenness from these others right 1377 00:52:01,130 --> 00:51:59,160 sometimes we assume they're one one to 1378 00:52:03,349 --> 00:52:01,140 one that listen you're not laying down 1379 00:52:04,849 --> 00:52:03,359 for me nice and square man so I feel 1380 00:52:07,010 --> 00:52:04,859 like there's deception going on here 1381 00:52:09,589 --> 00:52:07,020 right now I'll be the first one to say 1382 00:52:12,589 --> 00:52:09,599 that I think there are some in this 1383 00:52:14,270 --> 00:52:12,599 plethora right Myriad beings that are 1384 00:52:16,250 --> 00:52:14,280 out there 1385 00:52:17,569 --> 00:52:16,260 um across the Spectrum in terms of moral 1386 00:52:20,270 --> 00:52:17,579 development Consciousness development 1387 00:52:23,030 --> 00:52:20,280 there are some that do deceive and 1388 00:52:25,790 --> 00:52:23,040 deliberately uh lead astray but 1389 00:52:28,670 --> 00:52:25,800 sometimes it's just that it's not that 1390 00:52:30,230 --> 00:52:28,680 they're trying to be hidden from us or 1391 00:52:33,470 --> 00:52:30,240 make it more complicated than it could 1392 00:52:35,150 --> 00:52:33,480 be it's just that our notion is that 1393 00:52:37,430 --> 00:52:35,160 we're coming to the table with just 1394 00:52:39,589 --> 00:52:37,440 can't really they're not broad enough 1395 00:52:41,569 --> 00:52:39,599 deep enough to hold these realities and 1396 00:52:43,549 --> 00:52:41,579 so they end up looking disjointed we've 1397 00:52:45,230 --> 00:52:43,559 talked before or maybe not in this show 1398 00:52:48,049 --> 00:52:45,240 we have it in the community we've talked 1399 00:52:49,970 --> 00:52:48,059 about this notion that if you had like a 1400 00:52:52,609 --> 00:52:49,980 an object that existed in multiple 1401 00:52:54,609 --> 00:52:52,619 Dimensions beyond the three plus time in 1402 00:52:57,290 --> 00:52:54,619 this one and you saw it sort of 1403 00:52:58,970 --> 00:52:57,300 transforming into a 3D kind of object it 1404 00:53:00,589 --> 00:52:58,980 would look very very strange right it 1405 00:53:02,569 --> 00:53:00,599 might actually look nothing like what it 1406 00:53:04,790 --> 00:53:02,579 really looks like it is sixth or seventh 1407 00:53:07,849 --> 00:53:04,800 dimensional object right so so that kind 1408 00:53:10,430 --> 00:53:07,859 of notion right that whenever you have 1409 00:53:12,890 --> 00:53:10,440 to collapse a multi-dimensional object 1410 00:53:15,109 --> 00:53:12,900 into a an object with fewer Dimensions 1411 00:53:17,210 --> 00:53:15,119 you're going to corrupt it there's just 1412 00:53:19,910 --> 00:53:17,220 no way you can like literally there's no 1413 00:53:22,790 --> 00:53:19,920 way you can contain the same amount of 1414 00:53:25,309 --> 00:53:22,800 information so that's really worth 1415 00:53:28,069 --> 00:53:25,319 thinking about here that 1416 00:53:31,069 --> 00:53:28,079 that it's not just that they are hiding 1417 00:53:33,109 --> 00:53:31,079 or they're not coming clean like a lot 1418 00:53:34,910 --> 00:53:33,119 of people will say that right like 1419 00:53:36,710 --> 00:53:34,920 my biggest problem is that they're not 1420 00:53:37,970 --> 00:53:36,720 just coming forward and saying look this 1421 00:53:39,589 --> 00:53:37,980 is the deal this is where we're from 1422 00:53:41,510 --> 00:53:39,599 this is why we're here right that kind 1423 00:53:43,670 --> 00:53:41,520 of thing and people a lot of people read 1424 00:53:47,710 --> 00:53:43,680 into that immediately 1425 00:53:50,210 --> 00:53:47,720 um you know false uh intentions or 1426 00:53:52,730 --> 00:53:50,220 deceit or you know 1427 00:53:54,290 --> 00:53:52,740 something just nefarious right like if 1428 00:53:55,609 --> 00:53:54,300 you don't tell me I'm going to be I'm 1429 00:53:58,190 --> 00:53:55,619 going to question that but of course 1430 00:53:59,990 --> 00:53:58,200 what we're doing there is we're basing 1431 00:54:02,930 --> 00:54:00,000 that on our Human Experience right and 1432 00:54:05,569 --> 00:54:02,940 we forget that we are the same evolved 1433 00:54:07,250 --> 00:54:05,579 species we we share a field of mentation 1434 00:54:09,349 --> 00:54:07,260 we share an evolutionary process 1435 00:54:10,910 --> 00:54:09,359 therefore we see a lot of things in the 1436 00:54:13,730 --> 00:54:10,920 same way we can have this conversation 1437 00:54:16,250 --> 00:54:13,740 as you pointed out even going a century 1438 00:54:17,510 --> 00:54:16,260 or two forward in our own species would 1439 00:54:20,049 --> 00:54:17,520 make some conversations almost 1440 00:54:23,450 --> 00:54:20,059 impossible right we're talking about 1441 00:54:25,250 --> 00:54:23,460 these others who may be 1442 00:54:26,750 --> 00:54:25,260 having a completely different experience 1443 00:54:29,930 --> 00:54:26,760 of space-time than us which again space 1444 00:54:32,089 --> 00:54:29,940 time is only a a temporary and partial 1445 00:54:35,030 --> 00:54:32,099 construct right it's a construct it's 1446 00:54:37,010 --> 00:54:35,040 not the base reality so this is again 1447 00:54:38,770 --> 00:54:37,020 you can see how we get here all the time 1448 00:54:41,630 --> 00:54:38,780 on this show because 1449 00:54:43,250 --> 00:54:41,640 these things I hear banted about in 1450 00:54:44,750 --> 00:54:43,260 social media and what not about well I 1451 00:54:47,089 --> 00:54:44,760 think this because of this and oh look 1452 00:54:49,549 --> 00:54:47,099 at this here and I'm like there's so 1453 00:54:51,890 --> 00:54:49,559 many assumptions brought to the table uh 1454 00:54:53,809 --> 00:54:51,900 about how much we feel like we know 1455 00:54:55,190 --> 00:54:53,819 right so there's this this adage of 1456 00:54:56,930 --> 00:54:55,200 saying you know 1457 00:54:58,250 --> 00:54:56,940 there's things you know things you don't 1458 00:55:01,130 --> 00:54:58,260 know and things you don't know that you 1459 00:55:04,430 --> 00:55:01,140 don't know right and that third category 1460 00:55:06,650 --> 00:55:04,440 is really in play here I think and uh 1461 00:55:08,270 --> 00:55:06,660 that's why it's interesting to me that 1462 00:55:11,510 --> 00:55:08,280 people say sometimes 1463 00:55:13,609 --> 00:55:11,520 these others seem to want to change our 1464 00:55:15,470 --> 00:55:13,619 view of reality now that may be true 1465 00:55:16,490 --> 00:55:15,480 especially when it comes to things like 1466 00:55:18,109 --> 00:55:16,500 you know the way we're treating the 1467 00:55:20,089 --> 00:55:18,119 Earth and each other we need some sort 1468 00:55:22,790 --> 00:55:20,099 of evolution of consciousness 1469 00:55:24,710 --> 00:55:22,800 to survive maybe but sometimes I think 1470 00:55:26,870 --> 00:55:24,720 it's just 1471 00:55:28,069 --> 00:55:26,880 you know par for the course we interact 1472 00:55:29,630 --> 00:55:28,079 with these beings like you talked about 1473 00:55:31,210 --> 00:55:29,640 you live on the coast and you experience 1474 00:55:34,069 --> 00:55:31,220 people coming from different cultures 1475 00:55:35,990 --> 00:55:34,079 you're going to be forced to deal with 1476 00:55:38,630 --> 00:55:36,000 different conceptions of the world 1477 00:55:40,670 --> 00:55:38,640 then uh than someone who lives maybe in 1478 00:55:42,650 --> 00:55:40,680 the midwest right you know it's just 1479 00:55:44,210 --> 00:55:42,660 that's just the nature of the Beast so 1480 00:55:46,069 --> 00:55:44,220 this may just be par for the course that 1481 00:55:48,950 --> 00:55:46,079 what we encounter these beings are so 1482 00:55:51,650 --> 00:55:48,960 different than us it inevitably forces 1483 00:55:54,650 --> 00:55:51,660 us to reckon with reality 1484 00:55:58,970 --> 00:55:54,660 and let's not forget that our we have a 1485 00:56:01,849 --> 00:55:58,980 temptation as well to idolize uh that 1486 00:56:03,650 --> 00:56:01,859 which exceeds us 1487 00:56:07,190 --> 00:56:03,660 um we have a long history of that human 1488 00:56:09,230 --> 00:56:07,200 wool civilizations and societies uh to 1489 00:56:12,230 --> 00:56:09,240 put onto a pedestal 1490 00:56:13,130 --> 00:56:12,240 those those other 1491 00:56:17,569 --> 00:56:13,140 um 1492 00:56:19,670 --> 00:56:17,579 have better technology or whatever and 1493 00:56:23,089 --> 00:56:19,680 say well you know this is the aspiration 1494 00:56:25,309 --> 00:56:23,099 this is what we should all change our 1495 00:56:27,950 --> 00:56:25,319 lives and you know cargo cult ourselves 1496 00:56:31,010 --> 00:56:27,960 into adopting and I think that's pretty 1497 00:56:32,990 --> 00:56:31,020 rampant in in our community as well as 1498 00:56:36,470 --> 00:56:33,000 this um you know you're hanging your 1499 00:56:38,390 --> 00:56:36,480 hopes and dreams on these others uh 1500 00:56:41,690 --> 00:56:38,400 because you you're looking in some ways 1501 00:56:44,150 --> 00:56:41,700 for a savior and and I think you're what 1502 00:56:47,270 --> 00:56:44,160 you're losing there is the core truth 1503 00:56:49,549 --> 00:56:47,280 that that they are on the same Journey 1504 00:56:52,010 --> 00:56:49,559 that we are on right then that that 1505 00:56:53,930 --> 00:56:52,020 they're not uh 1506 00:56:55,910 --> 00:56:53,940 we're all part of the same story here 1507 00:56:58,490 --> 00:56:55,920 and um 1508 00:57:01,490 --> 00:56:58,500 and that that that's a fundamental truth 1509 00:57:03,589 --> 00:57:01,500 that when you I think sit with it and 1510 00:57:05,990 --> 00:57:03,599 and adopt it grasp it like it does 1511 00:57:07,970 --> 00:57:06,000 change everything else about how you 1512 00:57:10,309 --> 00:57:07,980 look at this subject 1513 00:57:12,430 --> 00:57:10,319 um hopefully it it provides you with a 1514 00:57:15,530 --> 00:57:12,440 little bit of um 1515 00:57:20,210 --> 00:57:15,540 you know sort of appreciation more solid 1516 00:57:22,130 --> 00:57:20,220 footing or for whatever this may be and 1517 00:57:26,630 --> 00:57:22,140 um I think that's pretty important as we 1518 00:57:28,670 --> 00:57:26,640 kind of move into these new Waters ahead 1519 00:57:30,890 --> 00:57:28,680 because we're gonna we're gonna you know 1520 00:57:32,450 --> 00:57:30,900 presumably uh and I'm I you know I could 1521 00:57:34,309 --> 00:57:32,460 be wrong we're gonna get get some more 1522 00:57:37,190 --> 00:57:34,319 we're gonna get some more nuggets of 1523 00:57:39,530 --> 00:57:37,200 Truth here from whatever you know 1524 00:57:41,450 --> 00:57:39,540 happens to be the the case that our 1525 00:57:44,750 --> 00:57:41,460 government knows and it's going to be 1526 00:57:47,870 --> 00:57:44,760 very tempting for us to kind of spin out 1527 00:57:50,049 --> 00:57:47,880 from those things like these 1528 00:57:55,490 --> 00:57:53,030 Fantastical hopes and dream you know 1529 00:57:56,930 --> 00:57:55,500 kind of uh really going to latch on to 1530 00:57:59,270 --> 00:57:56,940 some of that or it would be very 1531 00:58:01,190 --> 00:57:59,280 tempting to do so and I think we have to 1532 00:58:02,870 --> 00:58:01,200 kind of be careful with that and and 1533 00:58:06,589 --> 00:58:02,880 really start thinking more deeply about 1534 00:58:08,750 --> 00:58:06,599 well what does this really mean and uh 1535 00:58:12,049 --> 00:58:08,760 how are we connected to them and they to 1536 00:58:14,809 --> 00:58:12,059 us and what is this acknowledgment 1537 00:58:17,690 --> 00:58:14,819 of this presence into this reality what 1538 00:58:19,670 --> 00:58:17,700 does it do for the way that that we live 1539 00:58:23,510 --> 00:58:19,680 our lives what does it do for for the 1540 00:58:26,630 --> 00:58:23,520 way that they interact with us uh and 1541 00:58:29,109 --> 00:58:26,640 and as our society is our world ready 1542 00:58:32,270 --> 00:58:29,119 for that new way of interaction 1543 00:58:34,670 --> 00:58:32,280 because that's that's a huge part of 1544 00:58:35,510 --> 00:58:34,680 this right I mean as as civilizations in 1545 00:58:39,890 --> 00:58:35,520 the past 1546 00:58:41,569 --> 00:58:39,900 you know who uh you know were on the 1547 00:58:43,670 --> 00:58:41,579 North American continent you know had no 1548 00:58:46,490 --> 00:58:43,680 exposure to you know European 1549 00:58:49,670 --> 00:58:46,500 civilization like it radically changed 1550 00:58:52,430 --> 00:58:49,680 their world in many ways for the worse 1551 00:58:54,890 --> 00:58:52,440 um so we're talking about something that 1552 00:58:57,950 --> 00:58:54,900 could be uh as tectonically significant 1553 00:59:00,349 --> 00:58:57,960 as that if not more so uh so huge 1554 00:59:03,410 --> 00:59:00,359 ramifications there and and a reminder 1555 00:59:07,010 --> 00:59:03,420 that we have to be uh 1556 00:59:10,130 --> 00:59:07,020 you know cautious wise patient uh 1557 00:59:14,390 --> 00:59:10,140 thoughtful and and not be you know Brash 1558 00:59:16,190 --> 00:59:14,400 or quick to uh draw conclusions 1559 00:59:18,770 --> 00:59:16,200 yeah and I was thinking 1560 00:59:21,109 --> 00:59:18,780 in terms also of 1561 00:59:23,870 --> 00:59:21,119 you know you talked about this sense 1562 00:59:26,569 --> 00:59:23,880 that we kind of idolize uh technological 1563 00:59:27,589 --> 00:59:26,579 sophistication and understandably so I 1564 00:59:29,990 --> 00:59:27,599 mean we 1565 00:59:32,089 --> 00:59:30,000 Western Civilization has has changed 1566 00:59:33,710 --> 00:59:32,099 fundamentally changed our relationship 1567 00:59:36,170 --> 00:59:33,720 with reality 1568 00:59:39,109 --> 00:59:36,180 and so sort of de facto we've sort of 1569 00:59:40,549 --> 00:59:39,119 said well scientists Bravo you know you 1570 00:59:44,329 --> 00:59:40,559 triple their lifespans you gave us 1571 00:59:46,490 --> 00:59:44,339 microwaves and cell phones so you become 1572 00:59:49,130 --> 00:59:46,500 the new de facto Priests of the 1573 00:59:50,450 --> 00:59:49,140 civilization which you say goes right in 1574 00:59:55,309 --> 00:59:50,460 a very similar way to the Catholic 1575 00:59:59,089 --> 00:59:57,650 but what's interesting there and this is 1576 01:00:01,609 --> 00:59:59,099 where you know my background and 1577 01:00:03,770 --> 01:00:01,619 integral Theory again helps because in 1578 01:00:06,530 --> 01:00:03,780 integral Theory and sort of any kind of 1579 01:00:07,849 --> 01:00:06,540 second tier level of Consciousness what 1580 01:00:09,530 --> 01:00:07,859 you get in second tier that you don't 1581 01:00:11,630 --> 01:00:09,540 get in first here 1582 01:00:13,970 --> 01:00:11,640 is and it's is recognized as a second 1583 01:00:16,130 --> 01:00:13,980 tier like a completely new way because 1584 01:00:17,630 --> 01:00:16,140 it's there's one fundamental shift from 1585 01:00:19,549 --> 01:00:17,640 the earlier stages right so you have 1586 01:00:20,870 --> 01:00:19,559 this earlier group of stages that are 1587 01:00:23,510 --> 01:00:20,880 kind of all grouped together into this 1588 01:00:25,190 --> 01:00:23,520 one meta category of tier first tier and 1589 01:00:28,010 --> 01:00:25,200 the reason they are is because they tend 1590 01:00:30,230 --> 01:00:28,020 to each time they they roll out they 1591 01:00:32,809 --> 01:00:30,240 tend to reject the previous one they say 1592 01:00:34,609 --> 01:00:32,819 that was wrong this is the way to see 1593 01:00:36,470 --> 01:00:34,619 reality and that that holds sway for a 1594 01:00:39,530 --> 01:00:36,480 while until it begins to develop cracks 1595 01:00:41,630 --> 01:00:39,540 then it gives birth to a new uh 1596 01:00:43,730 --> 01:00:41,640 worldview stage of Consciousness and 1597 01:00:45,410 --> 01:00:43,740 those people say we reject the previous 1598 01:00:47,329 --> 01:00:45,420 one this is the way to go and that keeps 1599 01:00:50,270 --> 01:00:47,339 happening when you get to second tier 1600 01:00:51,890 --> 01:00:50,280 what changes is there's this recognition 1601 01:00:55,309 --> 01:00:51,900 that there's truth in each of those 1602 01:00:57,890 --> 01:00:55,319 previous stages partial truth albeit but 1603 01:00:59,930 --> 01:00:57,900 nevertheless truth and that you could 1604 01:01:01,910 --> 01:00:59,940 argue as can Wilbur knows that any 1605 01:01:04,309 --> 01:01:01,920 civilization that's existed across the 1606 01:01:06,109 --> 01:01:04,319 face of the Earth over time that had a 1607 01:01:07,910 --> 01:01:06,119 certain view of reality that they worked 1608 01:01:09,950 --> 01:01:07,920 with for a while there's probably some 1609 01:01:11,750 --> 01:01:09,960 validity there because they would have 1610 01:01:14,210 --> 01:01:11,760 stuck with it if it didn't hold some 1611 01:01:16,849 --> 01:01:14,220 level of Representative representational 1612 01:01:18,170 --> 01:01:16,859 truth to the underlying construct 1613 01:01:20,569 --> 01:01:18,180 and so what's interesting when you think 1614 01:01:23,329 --> 01:01:20,579 about that is that in some ways for like 1615 01:01:24,829 --> 01:01:23,339 a shamanic culture this disclosure might 1616 01:01:26,690 --> 01:01:24,839 not be such a big deal they'll be like 1617 01:01:28,430 --> 01:01:26,700 well yeah we we do with these beings 1618 01:01:31,730 --> 01:01:28,440 like every night when the shaman goes 1619 01:01:33,109 --> 01:01:31,740 goes out to you know find out where the 1620 01:01:35,270 --> 01:01:33,119 next Harvest is going to be or whatever 1621 01:01:37,130 --> 01:01:35,280 you know or you know what so-and-so 1622 01:01:38,510 --> 01:01:37,140 should do for you know where they should 1623 01:01:40,370 --> 01:01:38,520 go live or something whatever family 1624 01:01:42,589 --> 01:01:40,380 comes to the shaman and says we'd like 1625 01:01:45,049 --> 01:01:42,599 to know this or you know the tribe says 1626 01:01:46,970 --> 01:01:45,059 we in the past we need to know where the 1627 01:01:49,250 --> 01:01:46,980 food's going to be next season this is 1628 01:01:50,930 --> 01:01:49,260 like a life or death situation right so 1629 01:01:53,089 --> 01:01:50,940 this is not just again to the 1630 01:01:54,650 --> 01:01:53,099 physicalists out there who are kind of 1631 01:01:56,690 --> 01:01:54,660 worship our way of seeing the world this 1632 01:01:58,730 --> 01:01:56,700 is not just people going in you know 1633 01:02:02,210 --> 01:01:58,740 taking a bunch of Ayahuasca and making 1634 01:02:06,230 --> 01:02:02,220 some stuff up like their survival is a 1635 01:02:07,849 --> 01:02:06,240 tribe often uh hinged on the shaman 1636 01:02:10,970 --> 01:02:07,859 getting real information from these 1637 01:02:13,309 --> 01:02:10,980 otherworldly beings right right and so 1638 01:02:14,809 --> 01:02:13,319 for them they go oh yeah I mean of 1639 01:02:16,370 --> 01:02:14,819 course I remember even 1640 01:02:18,349 --> 01:02:16,380 um Ross Coulter talked about this like 1641 01:02:22,069 --> 01:02:18,359 going in speaking with indigenous 1642 01:02:23,329 --> 01:02:22,079 peoples in Australia and them kind of 1643 01:02:24,650 --> 01:02:23,339 laughing and say yeah you white people 1644 01:02:25,970 --> 01:02:24,660 you know you act like this is a new 1645 01:02:27,589 --> 01:02:25,980 thing and it's such a big deal we've 1646 01:02:29,809 --> 01:02:27,599 been talking with these beings you know 1647 01:02:31,370 --> 01:02:29,819 since time immoral kind of thing 1648 01:02:33,349 --> 01:02:31,380 so 1649 01:02:35,329 --> 01:02:33,359 it just goes to show that is not to say 1650 01:02:37,190 --> 01:02:35,339 that our technological advancement isn't 1651 01:02:39,049 --> 01:02:37,200 important and as hasn't helped it has 1652 01:02:41,510 --> 01:02:39,059 again it's a both and here not an either 1653 01:02:43,609 --> 01:02:41,520 or the goal is not to just all move back 1654 01:02:46,430 --> 01:02:43,619 to a shamanic culture we can recognize 1655 01:02:48,410 --> 01:02:46,440 some of the the gains we've had but also 1656 01:02:51,950 --> 01:02:48,420 be honest about what we've lost you know 1657 01:02:53,990 --> 01:02:51,960 what in in our now flat Landing of 1658 01:02:55,849 --> 01:02:54,000 reality where we focus on the surface 1659 01:02:57,349 --> 01:02:55,859 layer where we manipulate nature as we 1660 01:02:59,390 --> 01:02:57,359 perceive it in the space-time construct 1661 01:03:01,490 --> 01:02:59,400 we've been very very successful but one 1662 01:03:03,829 --> 01:03:01,500 of the casualties is we assume 1663 01:03:07,010 --> 01:03:03,839 everything else is you know reducible to 1664 01:03:09,170 --> 01:03:07,020 subjective mush it's not really real uh 1665 01:03:10,250 --> 01:03:09,180 and yet we have cases like in shamanic 1666 01:03:12,289 --> 01:03:10,260 cultures where they're getting real 1667 01:03:15,410 --> 01:03:12,299 information from supposedly these 1668 01:03:18,289 --> 01:03:15,420 imaginary Realms so that says something 1669 01:03:20,329 --> 01:03:18,299 about you know what the future holds in 1670 01:03:21,589 --> 01:03:20,339 terms of bringing together these 1671 01:03:24,109 --> 01:03:21,599 different views hopefully in something 1672 01:03:25,789 --> 01:03:24,119 that's synergistic and and maybe moves 1673 01:03:28,010 --> 01:03:25,799 the whole thing forward 1674 01:03:28,970 --> 01:03:28,020 well don't you think that it's going to 1675 01:03:31,549 --> 01:03:28,980 be 1676 01:03:33,770 --> 01:03:31,559 a pretty protracted process right 1677 01:03:34,970 --> 01:03:33,780 because I I think that um I think of 1678 01:03:35,990 --> 01:03:34,980 everything you just said there and I 1679 01:03:39,410 --> 01:03:36,000 think about 1680 01:03:41,089 --> 01:03:39,420 our government you know maybe pulling 1681 01:03:43,430 --> 01:03:41,099 them kicking and streaming and screaming 1682 01:03:45,829 --> 01:03:43,440 you know in front of the podium to say 1683 01:03:50,089 --> 01:03:45,839 whatever they know but but at that point 1684 01:03:55,549 --> 01:03:53,150 the mechanisms and the uh the the 1685 01:03:59,510 --> 01:03:55,559 the institutions of our world are going 1686 01:04:01,670 --> 01:03:59,520 to be focused on that and and apply the 1687 01:04:04,670 --> 01:04:01,680 skills that they have to this problem 1688 01:04:06,770 --> 01:04:04,680 right to this new to this new reality 1689 01:04:08,990 --> 01:04:06,780 and so it's it's it's all of that that 1690 01:04:11,089 --> 01:04:09,000 stuff is physical it's like all of our 1691 01:04:12,829 --> 01:04:11,099 academic institutions you know all of 1692 01:04:15,230 --> 01:04:12,839 our science like it's just gonna throw 1693 01:04:17,630 --> 01:04:15,240 itself at this and go okay well you know 1694 01:04:19,609 --> 01:04:17,640 what's at the core of this and how do we 1695 01:04:21,829 --> 01:04:19,619 you know figure out what the technology 1696 01:04:24,589 --> 01:04:21,839 is or you know all the things that you 1697 01:04:26,150 --> 01:04:24,599 know that come along with that and if 1698 01:04:28,250 --> 01:04:26,160 that's true I feel like we've got a long 1699 01:04:30,170 --> 01:04:28,260 way to go you know from from that 1700 01:04:32,630 --> 01:04:30,180 approach in perspective to what we're 1701 01:04:36,349 --> 01:04:32,640 talking about here uh that there's kind 1702 01:04:38,210 --> 01:04:36,359 of a chasm in a way that it's not that 1703 01:04:39,170 --> 01:04:38,220 it can't be crossed but there are so 1704 01:04:42,349 --> 01:04:39,180 many 1705 01:04:44,690 --> 01:04:42,359 steps that must be you know put in place 1706 01:04:47,630 --> 01:04:44,700 to get from one side to the other you 1707 01:04:51,650 --> 01:04:47,640 know do you see room here for uh come 1708 01:04:53,510 --> 01:04:51,660 some radical leaps in our understanding 1709 01:04:55,370 --> 01:04:53,520 um you know maybe 1710 01:04:56,569 --> 01:04:55,380 because these systems we've talked about 1711 01:04:58,670 --> 01:04:56,579 before 1712 01:05:00,049 --> 01:04:58,680 you know they already have the these 1713 01:05:01,309 --> 01:05:00,059 cracks they're they're already kind of 1714 01:05:03,049 --> 01:05:01,319 falling apart they're already failing 1715 01:05:05,390 --> 01:05:03,059 and describing what we what we're 1716 01:05:07,190 --> 01:05:05,400 studying now maybe they will those 1717 01:05:09,349 --> 01:05:07,200 cracks just become more apparent and 1718 01:05:11,089 --> 01:05:09,359 then and then we're we're kind of left 1719 01:05:12,530 --> 01:05:11,099 with no other choice but to adopt some 1720 01:05:14,630 --> 01:05:12,540 newer models that may make sense of 1721 01:05:18,049 --> 01:05:14,640 things but do you do you see room here 1722 01:05:20,690 --> 01:05:18,059 for some uh in a significant for 1723 01:05:23,089 --> 01:05:20,700 momentum and not just like oh well 1724 01:05:24,650 --> 01:05:23,099 here's a here's a panel we're going to 1725 01:05:27,530 --> 01:05:24,660 study this and try to figure out you 1726 01:05:29,930 --> 01:05:27,540 know how we can you know turn this uh 1727 01:05:32,329 --> 01:05:29,940 alloy that we think it's in into some 1728 01:05:35,230 --> 01:05:32,339 other thing that we can do to you know 1729 01:05:38,990 --> 01:05:35,240 create a Hypersonic you know 1730 01:05:40,789 --> 01:05:39,000 jetliner what what do you think here 1731 01:05:42,530 --> 01:05:40,799 well I mean I think your pointing at 1732 01:05:44,150 --> 01:05:42,540 something really significant here and 1733 01:05:47,089 --> 01:05:44,160 that is that part of the reason why 1734 01:05:49,250 --> 01:05:47,099 disclosure is so complex and so 1735 01:05:51,530 --> 01:05:49,260 you know stutter step in terms of actual 1736 01:05:53,870 --> 01:05:51,540 actually moving forward is that it's 1737 01:05:56,809 --> 01:05:53,880 because so much is on the table like and 1738 01:05:59,990 --> 01:05:56,819 and most journalists most politicians 1739 01:06:01,910 --> 01:06:00,000 you know Joe public out there 1740 01:06:03,950 --> 01:06:01,920 doesn't believe that this is a 1741 01:06:05,809 --> 01:06:03,960 conversation about reality right they 1742 01:06:07,730 --> 01:06:05,819 they're like well I've got my religion 1743 01:06:09,890 --> 01:06:07,740 or maybe they're an atheist they've 1744 01:06:12,770 --> 01:06:09,900 determined everything's just you know a 1745 01:06:16,130 --> 01:06:12,780 biochemical soup and nothing more 1746 01:06:18,470 --> 01:06:16,140 um and in both of those groups will be 1747 01:06:21,470 --> 01:06:18,480 confounded by this information right and 1748 01:06:24,890 --> 01:06:21,480 so when you think about how many people 1749 01:06:27,230 --> 01:06:24,900 in our society will not be really 1750 01:06:29,870 --> 01:06:27,240 challenged by the implications here it's 1751 01:06:31,789 --> 01:06:29,880 a small number right and so I think 1752 01:06:33,650 --> 01:06:31,799 that's really what's going on here is is 1753 01:06:36,170 --> 01:06:33,660 when people say why are we not seeing 1754 01:06:38,390 --> 01:06:36,180 more you know pick up from the 1755 01:06:39,710 --> 01:06:38,400 journalists of the world right and I 1756 01:06:42,049 --> 01:06:39,720 think it's a valid question that's why I 1757 01:06:43,910 --> 01:06:42,059 brought up that that comment uh you know 1758 01:06:45,349 --> 01:06:43,920 or what Chris melon's been up to like 1759 01:06:47,569 --> 01:06:45,359 he's he's trying to do their job for 1760 01:06:49,910 --> 01:06:47,579 them and say you know 1761 01:06:52,849 --> 01:06:49,920 don't be fooled I mean it just like a 1762 01:06:55,069 --> 01:06:52,859 base level of journalistic integrity and 1763 01:06:56,150 --> 01:06:55,079 commitment would show you that what 1764 01:06:57,349 --> 01:06:56,160 they're telling you and what they're 1765 01:06:59,270 --> 01:06:57,359 actually doing are two different things 1766 01:07:00,770 --> 01:06:59,280 right it's a bait and switch here and 1767 01:07:01,970 --> 01:07:00,780 it's the oldest game in the book and why 1768 01:07:04,010 --> 01:07:01,980 are you falling for it and I think part 1769 01:07:06,529 --> 01:07:04,020 of the reason they're falling for it is 1770 01:07:08,150 --> 01:07:06,539 because underlyingly they don't want to 1771 01:07:10,190 --> 01:07:08,160 really 1772 01:07:12,230 --> 01:07:10,200 wrestle with this nor do they think they 1773 01:07:14,569 --> 01:07:12,240 even have to again so is that it's that 1774 01:07:17,210 --> 01:07:14,579 hubris again it's that arrogance that 1775 01:07:21,650 --> 01:07:17,220 come on seriously we've got to have like 1776 01:07:23,630 --> 01:07:21,660 98 99 of it down by now right so so if 1777 01:07:25,250 --> 01:07:23,640 ETS are in it then surely they're just 1778 01:07:27,650 --> 01:07:25,260 in that one percent range we haven't 1779 01:07:29,329 --> 01:07:27,660 quite got narrowed down and my 1780 01:07:31,490 --> 01:07:29,339 assumptions say you know we would see 1781 01:07:34,910 --> 01:07:31,500 signs of ships in the sky we would see 1782 01:07:36,470 --> 01:07:34,920 you know signs of trajectories coming in 1783 01:07:38,870 --> 01:07:36,480 from Jupiter we're not seeing that kind 1784 01:07:40,910 --> 01:07:38,880 of thing so in other words their notion 1785 01:07:42,650 --> 01:07:40,920 of what an ET civilization would look 1786 01:07:44,690 --> 01:07:42,660 like an ET visitation would look like 1787 01:07:46,910 --> 01:07:44,700 you're sort of like next level beyond 1788 01:07:48,589 --> 01:07:46,920 our technology right that's right but as 1789 01:07:50,870 --> 01:07:48,599 you said you get out a few hundred years 1790 01:07:52,130 --> 01:07:50,880 and even human existence would look 1791 01:07:54,349 --> 01:07:52,140 completely different 1792 01:07:56,089 --> 01:07:54,359 and yet that's all that a lot of 1793 01:07:57,470 --> 01:07:56,099 journalists and politicians and the 1794 01:07:59,450 --> 01:07:57,480 average person is willing to really 1795 01:08:01,069 --> 01:07:59,460 conceive of here is like Okay so let's 1796 01:08:02,809 --> 01:08:01,079 picture an at species that's like a 1797 01:08:04,069 --> 01:08:02,819 couple hundred years ahead they don't 1798 01:08:05,809 --> 01:08:04,079 say that to themselves but that's 1799 01:08:07,910 --> 01:08:05,819 effectively what they're doing right and 1800 01:08:10,190 --> 01:08:07,920 they say look I don't see the evidence 1801 01:08:11,270 --> 01:08:10,200 when you and I know that if we went back 1802 01:08:13,609 --> 01:08:11,280 to a 1803 01:08:16,070 --> 01:08:13,619 a pre-industrial or a even older 1804 01:08:18,289 --> 01:08:16,080 civilization you'll be very simple for 1805 01:08:20,269 --> 01:08:18,299 us to really really confuse them right 1806 01:08:22,309 --> 01:08:20,279 because 1807 01:08:24,829 --> 01:08:22,319 um you know you put on this this week I 1808 01:08:27,349 --> 01:08:24,839 was using this Oculus headset right and 1809 01:08:29,150 --> 01:08:27,359 it was this amazing experience and you 1810 01:08:30,709 --> 01:08:29,160 know you move around and of course as 1811 01:08:33,530 --> 01:08:30,719 you move the world that you're 1812 01:08:35,870 --> 01:08:33,540 perceiving moves around you so you were 1813 01:08:37,910 --> 01:08:35,880 to do that to someone like why you knock 1814 01:08:39,289 --> 01:08:37,920 them out and you put an Oculus headset 1815 01:08:40,130 --> 01:08:39,299 without them realizing they'd wake up 1816 01:08:42,950 --> 01:08:40,140 and they'd think they're in a different 1817 01:08:45,829 --> 01:08:42,960 world they would have no 1818 01:08:47,630 --> 01:08:45,839 inkling not even an inkling of how to 1819 01:08:48,829 --> 01:08:47,640 make sense of this as a virtual reality 1820 01:08:51,709 --> 01:08:48,839 display 1821 01:08:53,749 --> 01:08:51,719 that was manipulating their brain in 1822 01:08:55,309 --> 01:08:53,759 such a way that because it moves with 1823 01:09:00,590 --> 01:08:55,319 you as you turn and things like that 1824 01:09:02,450 --> 01:09:00,600 that you know their belief system says 1825 01:09:04,249 --> 01:09:02,460 this must be reality this is that's just 1826 01:09:06,709 --> 01:09:04,259 what reality does I turn and things 1827 01:09:09,590 --> 01:09:06,719 change in the physical world out there 1828 01:09:11,870 --> 01:09:09,600 right well this just goes to show how 1829 01:09:14,809 --> 01:09:11,880 how much of a forest this kind of thing 1830 01:09:17,510 --> 01:09:14,819 is because we really are not much 1831 01:09:20,030 --> 01:09:17,520 further ahead than those you know 1832 01:09:21,890 --> 01:09:20,040 ancestors 100 200 300 years ago who 1833 01:09:23,390 --> 01:09:21,900 really felt like we were we had pretty 1834 01:09:26,209 --> 01:09:23,400 much figured everything out right like 1835 01:09:28,669 --> 01:09:26,219 we've talked about this before how there 1836 01:09:31,729 --> 01:09:28,679 were people you know at the in the late 1837 01:09:34,550 --> 01:09:31,739 19th century who really thought it's 1838 01:09:35,809 --> 01:09:34,560 just like dotting eyes and Crossing T's 1839 01:09:37,910 --> 01:09:35,819 at this point I mean we've pretty much 1840 01:09:40,070 --> 01:09:37,920 are the science down right and then you 1841 01:09:42,829 --> 01:09:40,080 had the quantum Revolution which ripped 1842 01:09:44,749 --> 01:09:42,839 out everything right it's like uh was 1843 01:09:46,849 --> 01:09:44,759 that famous quote 1844 01:09:50,269 --> 01:09:46,859 um you know those who haven't 1845 01:09:52,070 --> 01:09:50,279 um been profoundly impacted by the 1846 01:09:53,510 --> 01:09:52,080 revelations of quantum mechanics haven't 1847 01:09:55,850 --> 01:09:53,520 understood it it's as simple as that 1848 01:09:57,890 --> 01:09:55,860 right like if you get it you recognize 1849 01:10:01,010 --> 01:09:57,900 whoa reality is not what I thought okay 1850 01:10:03,110 --> 01:10:01,020 nothing like it right determinism is not 1851 01:10:05,390 --> 01:10:03,120 a thing right local reality is not a 1852 01:10:07,189 --> 01:10:05,400 thing right these like you talked about 1853 01:10:08,870 --> 01:10:07,199 you read that one book about these guys 1854 01:10:10,790 --> 01:10:08,880 who either became Mystics because they 1855 01:10:11,630 --> 01:10:10,800 recognized this can be what we thought 1856 01:10:13,790 --> 01:10:11,640 it was 1857 01:10:15,410 --> 01:10:13,800 or they you know become suicidal or 1858 01:10:17,990 --> 01:10:15,420 something because they're the things 1859 01:10:20,330 --> 01:10:18,000 that they were so wedded to are gone and 1860 01:10:21,649 --> 01:10:20,340 they don't know what to replace it with 1861 01:10:24,770 --> 01:10:21,659 yeah it's 1862 01:10:27,110 --> 01:10:24,780 it's kind of sad but like I it's it's as 1863 01:10:28,430 --> 01:10:27,120 if we're literally looking at our 1864 01:10:30,890 --> 01:10:28,440 universe 1865 01:10:34,189 --> 01:10:30,900 as if we were standing on the shore of 1866 01:10:36,290 --> 01:10:34,199 the ocean with a spyglass and scanning 1867 01:10:39,530 --> 01:10:36,300 The Horizon of the ocean and being like 1868 01:10:40,910 --> 01:10:39,540 well who's who's gonna show up like if 1869 01:10:42,530 --> 01:10:40,920 they're if they're if they're out there 1870 01:10:43,970 --> 01:10:42,540 they're gonna show up on a boat and 1871 01:10:46,490 --> 01:10:43,980 they're going to show up on this ocean 1872 01:10:48,830 --> 01:10:46,500 and I'll be able to see them before they 1873 01:10:50,810 --> 01:10:48,840 get here and I haven't seen any of them 1874 01:10:53,350 --> 01:10:50,820 so they're just not there right I mean 1875 01:10:56,570 --> 01:10:53,360 like that's exactly what's happening now 1876 01:11:00,290 --> 01:10:56,580 and and it you know part of the issue I 1877 01:11:02,410 --> 01:11:00,300 think that you've just revealed is that 1878 01:11:05,030 --> 01:11:02,420 the reality 1879 01:11:07,490 --> 01:11:05,040 confronts us with how profoundly wrong 1880 01:11:10,250 --> 01:11:07,500 we actually are 1881 01:11:12,229 --> 01:11:10,260 and if we really think about that 1882 01:11:14,630 --> 01:11:12,239 like that's 1883 01:11:16,430 --> 01:11:14,640 hugely destabilizing 1884 01:11:18,229 --> 01:11:16,440 right and I think that's exactly what 1885 01:11:20,990 --> 01:11:18,239 the shop filet was getting at back in 1886 01:11:22,910 --> 01:11:21,000 the 70s when he says that what the UFO 1887 01:11:25,430 --> 01:11:22,920 phenomenon fundamentally teaches us is 1888 01:11:26,870 --> 01:11:25,440 that we do not understand space time 1889 01:11:29,990 --> 01:11:26,880 now I would go further now and say 1890 01:11:32,149 --> 01:11:30,000 space-time's just not a thing but 1891 01:11:33,350 --> 01:11:32,159 even then he was saying it right and I 1892 01:11:34,850 --> 01:11:33,360 think the part of the reason why he 1893 01:11:36,110 --> 01:11:34,860 calls himself the ufologist the only 1894 01:11:38,030 --> 01:11:36,120 ufologist in the world who hasn't 1895 01:11:39,950 --> 01:11:38,040 figured out what it is he's kind of 1896 01:11:42,590 --> 01:11:39,960 being you know humorous there 1897 01:11:44,750 --> 01:11:42,600 but he's also sort of steered clear of 1898 01:11:47,450 --> 01:11:44,760 ufology and those circles because he 1899 01:11:49,130 --> 01:11:47,460 recognizes so few people are willing to 1900 01:11:51,649 --> 01:11:49,140 ask the Deep questions the big questions 1901 01:11:53,090 --> 01:11:51,659 you know what can we say about this with 1902 01:11:55,189 --> 01:11:53,100 our current understanding of reality 1903 01:11:57,950 --> 01:11:55,199 when we don't understand space-time you 1904 01:12:00,350 --> 01:11:57,960 know like how do you begin to build a 1905 01:12:03,350 --> 01:12:00,360 model when your presuppositions have 1906 01:12:04,850 --> 01:12:03,360 been shown to be faulty right and that's 1907 01:12:06,530 --> 01:12:04,860 exactly like you said that's that's what 1908 01:12:07,790 --> 01:12:06,540 this shows us is that we are just not 1909 01:12:10,729 --> 01:12:07,800 prepared 1910 01:12:13,790 --> 01:12:10,739 uh to to reckon with this with our 1911 01:12:14,689 --> 01:12:13,800 current tools and so in many ways you 1912 01:12:16,310 --> 01:12:14,699 know this is where we get really 1913 01:12:18,290 --> 01:12:16,320 post-modern and it's it's a 1914 01:12:19,550 --> 01:12:18,300 deconstructionist movement right it's 1915 01:12:21,830 --> 01:12:19,560 about saying 1916 01:12:23,689 --> 01:12:21,840 you know or or in eastern spiritual 1917 01:12:26,149 --> 01:12:23,699 Traditions they'll Define God by what he 1918 01:12:28,189 --> 01:12:26,159 or what he or it or she is not right 1919 01:12:30,350 --> 01:12:28,199 there's this kind of definition by 1920 01:12:32,630 --> 01:12:30,360 negation because the notion is 1921 01:12:34,970 --> 01:12:32,640 who are we as finite beings to say what 1922 01:12:37,790 --> 01:12:34,980 the ultimate is right how can we do that 1923 01:12:39,470 --> 01:12:37,800 that's fundamentally an absurd idea so 1924 01:12:41,390 --> 01:12:39,480 we'll say what we know it isn't we're 1925 01:12:44,090 --> 01:12:41,400 pretty sure it's not but we won't dare 1926 01:12:46,310 --> 01:12:44,100 try and say what it is and in many ways 1927 01:12:48,050 --> 01:12:46,320 that's the way we should be interacting 1928 01:12:49,910 --> 01:12:48,060 with this phenomenon we should be saying 1929 01:12:51,530 --> 01:12:49,920 at this point we should be gathering 1930 01:12:53,330 --> 01:12:51,540 data and that's that's you know again to 1931 01:12:55,250 --> 01:12:53,340 his credit that's what valet has done 1932 01:12:57,830 --> 01:12:55,260 for decades right is is 1933 01:13:00,290 --> 01:12:57,840 hold open the question don't prematurely 1934 01:13:03,110 --> 01:13:00,300 commit to Solutions because the second 1935 01:13:04,130 --> 01:13:03,120 you do like we again using Omega points 1936 01:13:06,590 --> 01:13:04,140 language 1937 01:13:09,050 --> 01:13:06,600 uh you know you what you focus on will 1938 01:13:11,750 --> 01:13:09,060 determine what you miss right so so try 1939 01:13:13,850 --> 01:13:11,760 not to focus too much have the have the 1940 01:13:16,430 --> 01:13:13,860 wide gaze right 1941 01:13:18,350 --> 01:13:16,440 um and the soft focus so that you stay 1942 01:13:19,850 --> 01:13:18,360 alert for anything that could be there 1943 01:13:22,910 --> 01:13:19,860 that's giving you some sort of clue 1944 01:13:27,350 --> 01:13:22,920 about what this uh ultimately is yeah 1945 01:13:30,350 --> 01:13:27,360 yeah shock seems to have uh taken stock 1946 01:13:33,290 --> 01:13:30,360 and and made the wise decision right not 1947 01:13:35,689 --> 01:13:33,300 wetting himself too strongly to a 1948 01:13:36,709 --> 01:13:35,699 particular notion 1949 01:13:38,750 --> 01:13:36,719 um 1950 01:13:40,610 --> 01:13:38,760 that can be frustrating for many and 1951 01:13:42,890 --> 01:13:40,620 because I think we really want some 1952 01:13:46,390 --> 01:13:42,900 solid answers here 1953 01:13:49,010 --> 01:13:46,400 um and and that you know that need 1954 01:13:50,990 --> 01:13:49,020 underlies this 1955 01:13:53,810 --> 01:13:51,000 you know energy that we see in the 1956 01:13:56,330 --> 01:13:53,820 community for the next Revelation the 1957 01:13:58,550 --> 01:13:56,340 next you know video the next 1958 01:14:02,390 --> 01:13:58,560 witness whatever it is 1959 01:14:06,050 --> 01:14:02,400 we are operating in a 1960 01:14:09,950 --> 01:14:06,060 you know in a desert of information 1961 01:14:11,390 --> 01:14:09,960 um and and we've felt drops of rain we 1962 01:14:12,530 --> 01:14:11,400 know it's we know that there's water 1963 01:14:14,810 --> 01:14:12,540 somewhere 1964 01:14:16,850 --> 01:14:14,820 but we're we're really thirsty you know 1965 01:14:18,709 --> 01:14:16,860 so please give us some more water so we 1966 01:14:22,550 --> 01:14:18,719 can kind of survive here that's kind of 1967 01:14:26,149 --> 01:14:22,560 the uh the feeling that I have is that 1968 01:14:30,290 --> 01:14:26,159 there's a desperation in many ways 1969 01:14:33,110 --> 01:14:30,300 at work and um 1970 01:14:35,209 --> 01:14:33,120 and I understand that right but but I 1971 01:14:36,950 --> 01:14:35,219 think if you sit with that feeling and 1972 01:14:37,970 --> 01:14:36,960 and you think about other times in your 1973 01:14:40,370 --> 01:14:37,980 life where you've really wanted 1974 01:14:42,290 --> 01:14:40,380 something right so you really felt like 1975 01:14:44,330 --> 01:14:42,300 you had to have this thing 1976 01:14:46,310 --> 01:14:44,340 uh when you get the thing that you feel 1977 01:14:48,530 --> 01:14:46,320 like you really really wanted uh well I 1978 01:14:49,790 --> 01:14:48,540 mean what happens next 1979 01:14:51,229 --> 01:14:49,800 there's a new thing that you really 1980 01:14:52,490 --> 01:14:51,239 really want there's a new thing that you 1981 01:14:54,530 --> 01:14:52,500 really really feel like you have to have 1982 01:14:56,630 --> 01:14:54,540 and that you need and and your energy 1983 01:14:59,750 --> 01:14:56,640 and you pointed this out many times is 1984 01:15:02,450 --> 01:14:59,760 uh is then just like just that cycle 1985 01:15:04,370 --> 01:15:02,460 occurs all over again and uh and 1986 01:15:07,910 --> 01:15:04,380 ultimately you're never satisfied 1987 01:15:10,430 --> 01:15:07,920 because at the core you're not fixated 1988 01:15:11,930 --> 01:15:10,440 on the right thing you're you're what 1989 01:15:12,890 --> 01:15:11,940 you want is something you're never going 1990 01:15:15,169 --> 01:15:12,900 to have 1991 01:15:17,630 --> 01:15:15,179 you know so so kind of learning to get 1992 01:15:19,910 --> 01:15:17,640 rid of that desire is uh 1993 01:15:22,970 --> 01:15:19,920 you know what would actually be your 1994 01:15:26,810 --> 01:15:25,130 yeah and I think too I I would also 1995 01:15:29,030 --> 01:15:26,820 point out that 1996 01:15:30,229 --> 01:15:29,040 just so I don't confuse people because I 1997 01:15:32,270 --> 01:15:30,239 think in 1998 01:15:33,830 --> 01:15:32,280 based on more recent episodes both on 1999 01:15:35,149 --> 01:15:33,840 this show and on point of convergence 2000 01:15:37,370 --> 01:15:35,159 they might be 2001 01:15:38,510 --> 01:15:37,380 wondering if I'm now saying uh you know 2002 01:15:40,430 --> 01:15:38,520 my hands are in the air and I have no 2003 01:15:43,729 --> 01:15:40,440 idea what this is so I feel like I do 2004 01:15:46,970 --> 01:15:43,739 have a strong sense of of the sort of 2005 01:15:48,890 --> 01:15:46,980 metaphysical architecture if you will 2006 01:15:50,930 --> 01:15:48,900 um but as you can see as I try to roll 2007 01:15:53,990 --> 01:15:50,940 it out as I try to describe it it's it's 2008 01:15:55,729 --> 01:15:54,000 very very complex and it rips out almost 2009 01:15:57,950 --> 01:15:55,739 every 2010 01:16:00,590 --> 01:15:57,960 um you know foundational layer we have 2011 01:16:04,130 --> 01:16:00,600 everything we use to prop up the floor 2012 01:16:06,709 --> 01:16:04,140 of our existence gets pulled out and it 2013 01:16:09,350 --> 01:16:06,719 it ends up offending or confounding 2014 01:16:13,010 --> 01:16:09,360 almost every different uh kind of 2015 01:16:15,470 --> 01:16:13,020 thinking group or belief group or system 2016 01:16:20,390 --> 01:16:17,270 and I'm truly not the only one like I 2017 01:16:22,430 --> 01:16:20,400 think again uh even even Bernardo Castro 2018 01:16:25,250 --> 01:16:22,440 you know who's put forward analytic 2019 01:16:26,390 --> 01:16:25,260 idealism with the Essentia Foundation he 2020 01:16:28,850 --> 01:16:26,400 wrote a book called meaning and 2021 01:16:32,990 --> 01:16:28,860 absurdity and I talked a bit about that 2022 01:16:35,270 --> 01:16:33,000 in my presentation in New York and his 2023 01:16:38,090 --> 01:16:35,280 point is that 2024 01:16:40,790 --> 01:16:38,100 what we think of as reality quote 2025 01:16:42,950 --> 01:16:40,800 unquote is not nearly as fixed as we 2026 01:16:44,810 --> 01:16:42,960 think it is and depending on the 2027 01:16:46,310 --> 01:16:44,820 consciousness of different groups of 2028 01:16:48,350 --> 01:16:46,320 people so that you get in certain parts 2029 01:16:49,550 --> 01:16:48,360 of the world 2030 01:16:52,970 --> 01:16:49,560 you'll get a slightly different 2031 01:16:55,430 --> 01:16:52,980 rendering of reality because either it's 2032 01:16:57,110 --> 01:16:55,440 that group of people that impacts the 2033 01:16:58,729 --> 01:16:57,120 field of meditation around them right 2034 01:17:00,950 --> 01:16:58,739 you have this um 2035 01:17:03,290 --> 01:17:00,960 you have this boundary where he would 2036 01:17:05,149 --> 01:17:03,300 say you have an impinge impingement on 2037 01:17:06,709 --> 01:17:05,159 that boundary right by Consciousness it 2038 01:17:08,630 --> 01:17:06,719 begins to change 2039 01:17:10,550 --> 01:17:08,640 this structure of reality around it 2040 01:17:12,950 --> 01:17:10,560 because again those are not two things 2041 01:17:15,470 --> 01:17:12,960 that's when people go oh man that sounds 2042 01:17:17,149 --> 01:17:15,480 so new age man that you're saying my 2043 01:17:19,910 --> 01:17:17,159 Consciousness changes physical reality 2044 01:17:23,149 --> 01:17:19,920 I'm saying no what's more true is that 2045 01:17:25,729 --> 01:17:23,159 those are not two things right and so 2046 01:17:27,350 --> 01:17:25,739 there's just this field of interference 2047 01:17:29,450 --> 01:17:27,360 going on all the time between these 2048 01:17:31,729 --> 01:17:29,460 different agents that are part of which 2049 01:17:34,610 --> 01:17:31,739 again are ultimately the same thing but 2050 01:17:36,770 --> 01:17:34,620 they're temporarily excitations of 2051 01:17:39,830 --> 01:17:36,780 Consciousness taking on temporary form 2052 01:17:42,950 --> 01:17:39,840 and the same way that if you uh you know 2053 01:17:44,330 --> 01:17:42,960 you have two waves that cross you get 2054 01:17:47,030 --> 01:17:44,340 what's called an interference pattern 2055 01:17:48,290 --> 01:17:47,040 right and again we get this with a 2056 01:17:50,390 --> 01:17:48,300 double slit experiment this famous 2057 01:17:52,250 --> 01:17:50,400 Notions and and observations that were 2058 01:17:54,050 --> 01:17:52,260 made in quantum mechanics but I'm saying 2059 01:17:58,070 --> 01:17:54,060 reality is like that all the way up in a 2060 01:18:00,410 --> 01:17:58,080 way down microscopic macroscopic and so 2061 01:18:02,510 --> 01:18:00,420 his point Bernardo cavstrip was that 2062 01:18:04,010 --> 01:18:02,520 really 2063 01:18:05,270 --> 01:18:04,020 and I've heard Whitley struber say 2064 01:18:07,370 --> 01:18:05,280 similar things based just on his 2065 01:18:09,290 --> 01:18:07,380 experience that if you hear stories that 2066 01:18:11,990 --> 01:18:09,300 are too straight laced like too much 2067 01:18:14,149 --> 01:18:12,000 like an ET craft came down from Saturn 2068 01:18:15,950 --> 01:18:14,159 they came in they gave me some great 2069 01:18:18,530 --> 01:18:15,960 like geo-coordinate information about 2070 01:18:21,229 --> 01:18:18,540 like the rings of Saturn and we talked 2071 01:18:22,790 --> 01:18:21,239 about you know the the meteor belt and 2072 01:18:24,470 --> 01:18:22,800 what's going on there that he took off 2073 01:18:25,910 --> 01:18:24,480 and went back right because they've got 2074 01:18:27,590 --> 01:18:25,920 a scientific Expedition that sounds all 2075 01:18:30,590 --> 01:18:27,600 very nice and clean cut and science 2076 01:18:33,890 --> 01:18:30,600 fiction right and what we usually get is 2077 01:18:35,810 --> 01:18:33,900 these bizarre situations where 2078 01:18:37,790 --> 01:18:35,820 you know like we talked about you know 2079 01:18:40,070 --> 01:18:37,800 Jim Joe simmington with the the Italians 2080 01:18:41,630 --> 01:18:40,080 Landing right and giving giving him 2081 01:18:42,950 --> 01:18:41,640 pancakes right those kind of things 2082 01:18:46,189 --> 01:18:42,960 where 2083 01:18:48,530 --> 01:18:46,199 it it confounds us and we say that can't 2084 01:18:50,330 --> 01:18:48,540 be real because that's just too weird it 2085 01:18:51,530 --> 01:18:50,340 and it's weird in a way that doesn't 2086 01:18:55,930 --> 01:18:51,540 even 2087 01:18:58,370 --> 01:18:55,940 it's just annoyingly weird right 2088 01:19:00,290 --> 01:18:58,380 and yet these are the stories and so 2089 01:19:01,610 --> 01:19:00,300 bernardo's point is that he's more 2090 01:19:04,729 --> 01:19:01,620 likely to believe a story like Joe 2091 01:19:07,130 --> 01:19:04,739 Simmons than Bill Smith who says you 2092 01:19:09,110 --> 01:19:07,140 know this the Saturn people landed and 2093 01:19:11,689 --> 01:19:09,120 gave me some information about quantum 2094 01:19:13,370 --> 01:19:11,699 mechanics so I could build a a particle 2095 01:19:14,510 --> 01:19:13,380 accelerator that's better than CERN or 2096 01:19:16,250 --> 01:19:14,520 something like that that's that's what 2097 01:19:18,770 --> 01:19:16,260 our physicalist model wants to hear 2098 01:19:19,790 --> 01:19:18,780 that's why the journalists are saying I 2099 01:19:21,410 --> 01:19:19,800 don't think it's happening because we're 2100 01:19:23,330 --> 01:19:21,420 not seeing these beings bringing this 2101 01:19:26,390 --> 01:19:23,340 kind of information what we're getting 2102 01:19:28,669 --> 01:19:26,400 is like these these uh neo-humans that 2103 01:19:30,830 --> 01:19:28,679 look like Italians bringing pancakes 2104 01:19:33,229 --> 01:19:30,840 right things like things like that 2105 01:19:34,910 --> 01:19:33,239 um or Cryptids or like we've talked 2106 01:19:36,830 --> 01:19:34,920 before like a seven foot eight foot tall 2107 01:19:40,130 --> 01:19:36,840 wolf being leaning against the Pole 2108 01:19:43,610 --> 01:19:40,140 right or he's uh you know Dino beavers 2109 01:19:45,410 --> 01:19:43,620 and and skinwalkers of the Pentagon I'm 2110 01:19:46,550 --> 01:19:45,420 kind of laughing here not because I 2111 01:19:49,189 --> 01:19:46,560 don't think those things are true but 2112 01:19:52,189 --> 01:19:49,199 because they are true and I know that 2113 01:19:55,610 --> 01:19:52,199 how that lands in our current milieu 2114 01:19:58,570 --> 01:19:55,620 just one one doesn't fit the other and 2115 01:20:01,430 --> 01:19:58,580 so that just pushes back the disclosure 2116 01:20:02,630 --> 01:20:01,440 piece not because in that case not 2117 01:20:04,910 --> 01:20:02,640 because government's not bringing 2118 01:20:07,130 --> 01:20:04,920 forward but people are like that's the 2119 01:20:09,470 --> 01:20:07,140 kind of disclosure I do not want right 2120 01:20:11,630 --> 01:20:09,480 sure number one is 2D stabilizing but 2121 01:20:13,490 --> 01:20:11,640 before I even get to destabilizing it's 2122 01:20:15,590 --> 01:20:13,500 just too unbelievable and therefore I 2123 01:20:17,510 --> 01:20:15,600 just I won't go there yeah I mean it's 2124 01:20:19,130 --> 01:20:17,520 incredibly frustrating and I can I can 2125 01:20:23,110 --> 01:20:19,140 just hear the complaints already you 2126 01:20:25,070 --> 01:20:23,120 know because our our models of empirical 2127 01:20:26,450 --> 01:20:25,080 observation like they're just they're 2128 01:20:29,110 --> 01:20:26,460 not even added they're not adequately 2129 01:20:31,430 --> 01:20:29,120 prepared to to understand this 2130 01:20:34,310 --> 01:20:31,440 you know that we don't have the right 2131 01:20:37,070 --> 01:20:34,320 tools and so I mean you can we just 2132 01:20:39,709 --> 01:20:37,080 throw our hands up well I mean how do I 2133 01:20:41,810 --> 01:20:39,719 how do I know what what is true at all I 2134 01:20:45,290 --> 01:20:41,820 I kind of I get the right tools to make 2135 01:20:46,910 --> 01:20:45,300 the evaluation I think that is uh where 2136 01:20:50,030 --> 01:20:46,920 many are and you know I am there too 2137 01:20:53,090 --> 01:20:50,040 sometimes I mean we um 2138 01:20:55,550 --> 01:20:53,100 when the best tool in our toolkit is a 2139 01:20:58,070 --> 01:20:55,560 metaphysical model that makes the the 2140 01:20:59,870 --> 01:20:58,080 most sense of it right like that that 2141 01:21:02,390 --> 01:20:59,880 we're already in territory that we're 2142 01:21:05,930 --> 01:21:02,400 uncomfortable in because 2143 01:21:07,610 --> 01:21:05,940 our tools look like a hammer and look 2144 01:21:10,250 --> 01:21:07,620 like a screwdriver it looked like a 2145 01:21:12,530 --> 01:21:10,260 microscope you know so you can see how 2146 01:21:15,890 --> 01:21:12,540 we're really in a tough bind in a way 2147 01:21:18,530 --> 01:21:15,900 and you know I'm interested in however 2148 01:21:21,709 --> 01:21:18,540 this unfolds like I would like to see 2149 01:21:24,410 --> 01:21:21,719 our civilization be affected and 2150 01:21:26,510 --> 01:21:24,420 impacted and changed for the better and 2151 01:21:28,149 --> 01:21:26,520 I would like to see that happen in in 2152 01:21:34,370 --> 01:21:28,159 the most 2153 01:21:36,950 --> 01:21:34,380 way right so right I think that we we 2154 01:21:39,530 --> 01:21:36,960 have a vested interest in this being a 2155 01:21:42,110 --> 01:21:39,540 positive change in transformation for 2156 01:21:44,510 --> 01:21:42,120 the world not something that you know is 2157 01:21:46,310 --> 01:21:44,520 going to be catastrophic and you know 2158 01:21:47,870 --> 01:21:46,320 runs on the grocery store at the gas 2159 01:21:50,390 --> 01:21:47,880 pump like this this could be very very 2160 01:21:52,430 --> 01:21:50,400 bad and and with that being said we 2161 01:21:56,030 --> 01:21:52,440 we've talked about it many times I mean 2162 01:21:59,330 --> 01:21:56,040 if that if that if that is a likely 2163 01:22:01,790 --> 01:21:59,340 result of some of these Revelations if 2164 01:22:03,590 --> 01:22:01,800 you're behind the desk you know at the 2165 01:22:06,110 --> 01:22:03,600 Pentagon or whatever whoever these 2166 01:22:08,330 --> 01:22:06,120 decision makers are you're looking at 2167 01:22:12,050 --> 01:22:08,340 that and going yeah this that we don't 2168 01:22:14,030 --> 01:22:12,060 have we don't have the tools yet right 2169 01:22:16,490 --> 01:22:14,040 you're looking at the landscape and 2170 01:22:19,610 --> 01:22:16,500 saying the tools don't exist and if 2171 01:22:22,610 --> 01:22:19,620 without them we are at the mercy of our 2172 01:22:24,530 --> 01:22:22,620 base desires our base behaviors so the 2173 01:22:26,870 --> 01:22:24,540 responsible thing is to wait until the 2174 01:22:29,330 --> 01:22:26,880 tools are there and then we can have 2175 01:22:31,510 --> 01:22:29,340 this conversation 2176 01:22:34,189 --> 01:22:31,520 yeah there's there's so many 2177 01:22:36,050 --> 01:22:34,199 caveats here there's so many factors 2178 01:22:37,490 --> 01:22:36,060 that have held back disclosure but 2179 01:22:39,050 --> 01:22:37,500 that's we're back to that kicking the 2180 01:22:41,630 --> 01:22:39,060 can down the road again 2181 01:22:43,610 --> 01:22:41,640 um and that's a big part of it you know 2182 01:22:45,830 --> 01:22:43,620 it's not just that 2183 01:22:47,630 --> 01:22:45,840 we're not sure how the public will 2184 01:22:48,830 --> 01:22:47,640 handle this when we disclose it but we 2185 01:22:51,709 --> 01:22:48,840 don't even know how to describe what it 2186 01:22:53,570 --> 01:22:51,719 is that we're disclosing right and uh 2187 01:22:55,610 --> 01:22:53,580 anybody who has any kind of background 2188 01:22:58,370 --> 01:22:55,620 in public relations or marketing knows 2189 01:22:59,689 --> 01:22:58,380 that what you don't want to do is hold a 2190 01:23:01,669 --> 01:22:59,699 conference when you don't even know what 2191 01:23:02,810 --> 01:23:01,679 you're saying and and you know from the 2192 01:23:04,610 --> 01:23:02,820 get-go that it's going to sound 2193 01:23:07,310 --> 01:23:04,620 completely incomprehensible and which 2194 01:23:08,270 --> 01:23:07,320 will be interpreted as you being 2195 01:23:11,810 --> 01:23:08,280 um 2196 01:23:14,450 --> 01:23:11,820 you know just a poor Communicator or 2197 01:23:16,970 --> 01:23:14,460 just not good at your job not serving or 2198 01:23:18,890 --> 01:23:16,980 role well right so it's not going to be 2199 01:23:21,709 --> 01:23:18,900 where we don't we don't have the kind of 2200 01:23:24,709 --> 01:23:21,719 culture that has space for oh this 2201 01:23:26,450 --> 01:23:24,719 person's completely competent it's yet 2202 01:23:27,530 --> 01:23:26,460 it's just that they're delivering 2203 01:23:29,270 --> 01:23:27,540 information it's completely 2204 01:23:31,130 --> 01:23:29,280 destabilizing and we don't have that 2205 01:23:32,450 --> 01:23:31,140 category right 2206 01:23:34,610 --> 01:23:32,460 um I was also thinking about when you 2207 01:23:36,110 --> 01:23:34,620 said you know positively destabilizing 2208 01:23:39,229 --> 01:23:36,120 and it encouraged me another word for 2209 01:23:41,270 --> 01:23:39,239 that might be creative okay right like 2210 01:23:43,130 --> 01:23:41,280 um that's I think what we're hoping here 2211 01:23:44,990 --> 01:23:43,140 right that's that's the long-term goal 2212 01:23:48,770 --> 01:23:45,000 that 2213 01:23:52,370 --> 01:23:48,780 um this would be so destabilizing so 2214 01:23:58,010 --> 01:23:55,970 so change oriented to such a degree down 2215 01:24:01,490 --> 01:23:58,020 to a foundational level that you would 2216 01:24:03,890 --> 01:24:01,500 have no choice but to conceive of a 2217 01:24:05,750 --> 01:24:03,900 different model because I do think deep 2218 01:24:06,950 --> 01:24:05,760 down when people really are it takes a 2219 01:24:08,450 --> 01:24:06,960 while to get there we have all sorts of 2220 01:24:10,010 --> 01:24:08,460 biases that prevent us from getting 2221 01:24:13,370 --> 01:24:10,020 there but when we finally get to that 2222 01:24:15,050 --> 01:24:13,380 place where we go okay I I can't deny it 2223 01:24:17,570 --> 01:24:15,060 anymore this is actually what the 2224 01:24:18,890 --> 01:24:17,580 reality seems to be right it's pointing 2225 01:24:21,470 --> 01:24:18,900 in this direction there's just too much 2226 01:24:23,689 --> 01:24:21,480 evidence then people will have that 2227 01:24:25,790 --> 01:24:23,699 shift like you talked about your shift 2228 01:24:27,830 --> 01:24:25,800 from being kind of this more 2229 01:24:29,930 --> 01:24:27,840 conservative religious believer to going 2230 01:24:31,970 --> 01:24:29,940 to college to learn to specialize in it 2231 01:24:35,209 --> 01:24:31,980 and coming away going actually I'm not 2232 01:24:36,950 --> 01:24:35,219 sure the whole thing holds up uh so you 2233 01:24:38,030 --> 01:24:36,960 but you changed right you didn't say so 2234 01:24:39,890 --> 01:24:38,040 therefore I'm going to spend the next 2235 01:24:41,750 --> 01:24:39,900 few decades just believing a lie and 2236 01:24:45,290 --> 01:24:41,760 hope that nobody or living a lie and 2237 01:24:47,870 --> 01:24:45,300 hope that nobody notices no you say as a 2238 01:24:49,310 --> 01:24:47,880 person of coherence who doesn't want who 2239 01:24:50,750 --> 01:24:49,320 wants to be able to go to you know sleep 2240 01:24:53,209 --> 01:24:50,760 at night without feeling like you're a 2241 01:24:55,910 --> 01:24:53,219 fraud I'm going to change my perspective 2242 01:24:58,490 --> 01:24:55,920 so I think we can get there and one 2243 01:25:00,830 --> 01:24:58,500 hopes that when we get there on mass 2244 01:25:03,770 --> 01:25:00,840 that creates the kind of impetus for 2245 01:25:05,689 --> 01:25:03,780 this creativity to really rethink 2246 01:25:06,950 --> 01:25:05,699 how would we as a society live 2247 01:25:08,410 --> 01:25:06,960 differently not just because there's 2248 01:25:10,070 --> 01:25:08,420 aliens in our midst that are 2249 01:25:12,229 --> 01:25:10,080 interdimensional in the way that I 2250 01:25:15,229 --> 01:25:12,239 described intermentational if you will 2251 01:25:16,910 --> 01:25:15,239 but also that life and death is not a 2252 01:25:18,649 --> 01:25:16,920 solid line like we think it's more like 2253 01:25:20,570 --> 01:25:18,659 a phase shift how would you live 2254 01:25:21,590 --> 01:25:20,580 differently if you know that at the end 2255 01:25:23,090 --> 01:25:21,600 of your life you're just going to phase 2256 01:25:26,209 --> 01:25:23,100 shift into a different kind of existence 2257 01:25:29,450 --> 01:25:26,219 and that goes on and on I think it might 2258 01:25:31,010 --> 01:25:29,460 change a lot right and I think um we 2259 01:25:32,810 --> 01:25:31,020 would move more towards you know 2260 01:25:34,790 --> 01:25:32,820 non-duality because we would recognize 2261 01:25:37,669 --> 01:25:34,800 that we don't have to have some God 2262 01:25:39,530 --> 01:25:37,679 who's punishing us and the you know 2263 01:25:40,910 --> 01:25:39,540 Eternal fire is what's necessary to get 2264 01:25:43,010 --> 01:25:40,920 people to do good things in this 2265 01:25:45,350 --> 01:25:43,020 lifetime out of guilt or whatever or 2266 01:25:47,510 --> 01:25:45,360 wanting to avoid punishment but you 2267 01:25:49,250 --> 01:25:47,520 recognize that listen you're we're in 2268 01:25:51,470 --> 01:25:49,260 this for the long game we're evolving 2269 01:25:53,149 --> 01:25:51,480 we're changing as part of the system and 2270 01:25:55,729 --> 01:25:53,159 as individual manifestations that 2271 01:25:58,070 --> 01:25:55,739 excitation of Consciousness so if that's 2272 01:25:59,270 --> 01:25:58,080 the case I might as well do what's good 2273 01:26:00,470 --> 01:25:59,280 for the whole because that's what's 2274 01:26:03,110 --> 01:26:00,480 ultimately good for me too because 2275 01:26:05,689 --> 01:26:03,120 that's what I am that's fundamentally 2276 01:26:07,729 --> 01:26:05,699 what I am and I I now know it not just 2277 01:26:09,830 --> 01:26:07,739 in a conceptual way but I I Feel It In 2278 01:26:12,110 --> 01:26:09,840 My Bones and I've seen so much evidence 2279 01:26:14,570 --> 01:26:12,120 that I can't help but shift my 2280 01:26:16,790 --> 01:26:14,580 perspective like you did so one hopes 2281 01:26:19,129 --> 01:26:16,800 that's where we get to but uh but it's 2282 01:26:21,110 --> 01:26:19,139 gonna take some time because that's you 2283 01:26:22,629 --> 01:26:21,120 know that's about as uh change oriented 2284 01:26:25,850 --> 01:26:22,639 as you can possibly imagine 2285 01:26:28,370 --> 01:26:25,860 well the the encouraging thing is that 2286 01:26:31,510 --> 01:26:28,380 the seeds are there uh that the 2287 01:26:35,810 --> 01:26:31,520 possibility space is already real 2288 01:26:39,290 --> 01:26:35,820 that and that that exerts a force almost 2289 01:26:41,030 --> 01:26:39,300 a teleological force on our on our 2290 01:26:43,430 --> 01:26:41,040 future 2291 01:26:46,790 --> 01:26:43,440 um that there are things in motion right 2292 01:26:50,030 --> 01:26:46,800 now that are putting us on that 2293 01:26:53,689 --> 01:26:50,040 trajectory of change and development so 2294 01:26:56,870 --> 01:26:53,699 that is the The Optimist you know in me 2295 01:27:01,729 --> 01:26:56,880 saying you know do not be afraid you 2296 01:27:04,310 --> 01:27:01,739 know do not be anxious because uh the 2297 01:27:06,770 --> 01:27:04,320 the possibility for positive development 2298 01:27:09,410 --> 01:27:06,780 for Creative development and change like 2299 01:27:11,750 --> 01:27:09,420 it is already there in 2300 01:27:13,850 --> 01:27:11,760 in the possibility space like it exists 2301 01:27:15,770 --> 01:27:13,860 and just read 2302 01:27:16,850 --> 01:27:15,780 um that that's not to say that there 2303 01:27:20,629 --> 01:27:16,860 won't be 2304 01:27:22,430 --> 01:27:20,639 some moments of turmoil and pain and and 2305 01:27:25,129 --> 01:27:22,440 uh 2306 01:27:26,689 --> 01:27:25,139 and growth right 2307 01:27:29,330 --> 01:27:26,699 um we don't want to I don't think we 2308 01:27:33,050 --> 01:27:29,340 want to be in a world that is absent of 2309 01:27:36,290 --> 01:27:33,060 some level of discomfort 2310 01:27:39,290 --> 01:27:36,300 um so you know take take courage in that 2311 01:27:41,870 --> 01:27:39,300 that it it may not unfold the way that 2312 01:27:45,950 --> 01:27:41,880 you would want it to but 2313 01:27:46,910 --> 01:27:45,960 there is within this entire process of 2314 01:27:55,790 --> 01:27:46,920 being 2315 01:27:58,729 --> 01:27:55,800 world the sort of Arrow of of 2316 01:28:02,629 --> 01:27:58,739 progression of development of growth uh 2317 01:28:04,550 --> 01:28:02,639 uh for ultim the ultimate goal of 2318 01:28:06,050 --> 01:28:04,560 enrichment of enrichment of the entire 2319 01:28:08,570 --> 01:28:06,060 system 2320 01:28:10,910 --> 01:28:08,580 um of all that there is 2321 01:28:13,430 --> 01:28:10,920 yeah I would say hopefully people will 2322 01:28:15,490 --> 01:28:13,440 come away from this conversation with 2323 01:28:18,709 --> 01:28:15,500 some new ideas around 2324 01:28:20,990 --> 01:28:18,719 why if some of these are benevolent as I 2325 01:28:23,209 --> 01:28:21,000 would say they are why are they hanging 2326 01:28:25,490 --> 01:28:23,219 back right why are they not swooping in 2327 01:28:29,149 --> 01:28:25,500 to solve our climate process now your 2328 01:28:32,270 --> 01:28:29,159 climate challenges and our you know 2329 01:28:34,310 --> 01:28:32,280 inequal distribution challenges and all 2330 01:28:35,510 --> 01:28:34,320 that kind of thing and the reason is 2331 01:28:36,709 --> 01:28:35,520 because like we've talked about before 2332 01:28:39,290 --> 01:28:36,719 because 2333 01:28:41,689 --> 01:28:39,300 us growing into 2334 01:28:44,270 --> 01:28:41,699 deeper levels of awareness that make us 2335 01:28:46,370 --> 01:28:44,280 change our Behavior because it just 2336 01:28:48,129 --> 01:28:46,380 becomes self-evident is more important 2337 01:28:50,030 --> 01:28:48,139 right we're we're looking for 2338 01:28:52,430 --> 01:28:50,040 self-evident Revelation so they're 2339 01:28:55,430 --> 01:28:52,440 giving all sorts of prompts to get us 2340 01:28:57,470 --> 01:28:55,440 there right I I made that one tweet one 2341 01:28:59,870 --> 01:28:57,480 of my new cosmology tweets was about 2342 01:29:01,910 --> 01:28:59,880 that that sometimes these sightings are 2343 01:29:03,229 --> 01:29:01,920 meant to be prompts to like wake you up 2344 01:29:05,390 --> 01:29:03,239 to something that some part of you 2345 01:29:07,490 --> 01:29:05,400 already knows right yeah 2346 01:29:09,770 --> 01:29:07,500 um and 2347 01:29:12,110 --> 01:29:09,780 we we should be encouraged by that but 2348 01:29:15,830 --> 01:29:12,120 also at the same time recognize how much 2349 01:29:17,930 --> 01:29:15,840 is on the table how how much change is 2350 01:29:20,209 --> 01:29:17,940 exists here at least in potentia right 2351 01:29:23,870 --> 01:29:20,219 like I completely change it changed way 2352 01:29:25,910 --> 01:29:23,880 of imagining living as individuals and 2353 01:29:27,770 --> 01:29:25,920 as a collective right when all these 2354 01:29:29,930 --> 01:29:27,780 things are on are in play in terms of 2355 01:29:32,209 --> 01:29:29,940 life and death not seeming like a solid 2356 01:29:34,250 --> 01:29:32,219 boundary anymore and even things like 2357 01:29:37,250 --> 01:29:34,260 individual consciousness 2358 01:29:39,649 --> 01:29:37,260 being seen as much more malleable and 2359 01:29:42,530 --> 01:29:39,659 temporary amongst a series right that 2360 01:29:44,390 --> 01:29:42,540 maybe even go beyond and I say coyly 2361 01:29:47,450 --> 01:29:44,400 maybe I think it does right it goes 2362 01:29:50,390 --> 01:29:47,460 beyond just human incarnations so 2363 01:29:52,430 --> 01:29:50,400 in that mind you know uh I would say 2364 01:29:53,810 --> 01:29:52,440 that we should take heart that this is 2365 01:29:55,850 --> 01:29:53,820 exactly what the benevolent ones are 2366 01:29:57,169 --> 01:29:55,860 doing and as we talked about last time I 2367 01:29:59,570 --> 01:29:57,179 think that what we're seeing evidence of 2368 01:30:01,669 --> 01:29:59,580 is a Grassroots movement where 2369 01:30:03,410 --> 01:30:01,679 individual by individual they're letting 2370 01:30:06,830 --> 01:30:03,420 that flame you know setting that spark 2371 01:30:08,570 --> 01:30:06,840 to to hopefully help that person arrive 2372 01:30:11,030 --> 01:30:08,580 at new self-evident truths for 2373 01:30:13,610 --> 01:30:11,040 themselves and then they begin to make 2374 01:30:16,010 --> 01:30:13,620 the changes that you made when you had a 2375 01:30:18,110 --> 01:30:16,020 an Awakening right and then when that 2376 01:30:19,910 --> 01:30:18,120 happens on a broad enough basis then 2377 01:30:22,669 --> 01:30:19,920 slowly but surely the entire Collective 2378 01:30:24,770 --> 01:30:22,679 changes as well 2379 01:30:28,790 --> 01:30:24,780 I think that's a great place to end it 2380 01:30:31,729 --> 01:30:28,800 and as uh we approach the end of 2023 2381 01:30:34,490 --> 01:30:31,739 uh May that change take place 2382 01:30:36,350 --> 01:30:34,500 um where you find yourself and with 2383 01:30:37,790 --> 01:30:36,360 those that you interact with and care 2384 01:30:39,350 --> 01:30:37,800 about 2385 01:30:41,750 --> 01:30:39,360 um we want to thank 2386 01:30:44,990 --> 01:30:41,760
