00:00:48,420 University The Archives of the 14 00:00:54,110 --> 00:00:51,899 impossible hosted by Dr Jeff and 15 00:00:56,689 --> 00:00:54,120 that that was an amazing experience with 16 00:00:59,090 --> 00:00:56,699 a lot of academic lectures and complex 17 00:01:00,889 --> 00:00:59,100 and thought-provoking content you got to 18 00:01:04,130 --> 00:01:00,899 rub elbows with a lot a lot of these 19 00:01:05,870 --> 00:01:04,140 sort of thought leaders and uh and have 20 00:01:08,929 --> 00:01:05,880 some solid conversations so I would love 21 00:01:11,149 --> 00:01:08,939 to hear your take on on the weekend and 22 00:01:14,390 --> 00:01:11,159 uh what were your takeaways 23 00:01:16,370 --> 00:01:14,400 yes it was a great experience I think I 24 00:01:19,070 --> 00:01:16,380 was impressed with the breadth and depth 25 00:01:21,289 --> 00:01:19,080 of Jeff's vision for it it was quite a 26 00:01:24,289 --> 00:01:21,299 broad assortment of people talking about 27 00:01:25,850 --> 00:01:24,299 all sorts of impossible experience I 28 00:01:27,590 --> 00:01:25,860 love the way that Jeff kicked it off 29 00:01:30,050 --> 00:01:27,600 with his initial comments where he 30 00:01:32,570 --> 00:01:30,060 basically said things like levitation is 31 00:01:34,249 --> 00:01:32,580 absolutely impossible and yet it occurs 32 00:01:36,289 --> 00:01:34,259 he says with things like this right he 33 00:01:38,030 --> 00:01:36,299 says certainly these things according to 34 00:01:39,649 --> 00:01:38,040 our conventional Notions cannot happen 35 00:01:42,050 --> 00:01:39,659 and yet they do 36 00:01:43,789 --> 00:01:42,060 and he actually showed an image of a 37 00:01:45,890 --> 00:01:43,799 book that's going to be coming out an 38 00:01:48,289 --> 00:01:45,900 academic book I believe that's about 39 00:01:49,370 --> 00:01:48,299 these nuns in history that supposedly 40 00:01:51,649 --> 00:01:49,380 flew 41 00:01:52,910 --> 00:01:51,659 and the the title of the book and he 42 00:01:54,590 --> 00:01:52,920 showed that front cover is literally 43 00:01:56,749 --> 00:01:54,600 called they flew 44 00:01:58,190 --> 00:01:56,759 so he can sort of in your face right you 45 00:01:59,929 --> 00:01:58,200 can sort of see these like nuns feet 46 00:02:01,429 --> 00:01:59,939 like hanging in the air while people are 47 00:02:02,330 --> 00:02:01,439 like reaching up and cheering kind of 48 00:02:03,590 --> 00:02:02,340 saying 49 00:02:04,910 --> 00:02:03,600 so 50 00:02:06,530 --> 00:02:04,920 yeah that was one of the things he 51 00:02:08,449 --> 00:02:06,540 talked about but there was quite a 52 00:02:11,390 --> 00:02:08,459 breadth you know there was people 53 00:02:13,010 --> 00:02:11,400 talking about non-dual experience and 54 00:02:15,589 --> 00:02:13,020 one person gave an interesting talk 55 00:02:17,990 --> 00:02:15,599 about how to induce non-dual experience 56 00:02:19,670 --> 00:02:18,000 without using psychedelics sort of a 57 00:02:21,830 --> 00:02:19,680 crash course on how you could have kind 58 00:02:24,410 --> 00:02:21,840 of a Buddhist teaching for a modern 59 00:02:25,850 --> 00:02:24,420 audience in kind of a 30-day kind of 60 00:02:27,650 --> 00:02:25,860 treaties kind of thing 61 00:02:29,750 --> 00:02:27,660 uh we also had people talk about 62 00:02:31,790 --> 00:02:29,760 out-of-body experiences and near-death 63 00:02:34,070 --> 00:02:31,800 experiences one woman when she was a 64 00:02:36,830 --> 00:02:34,080 toddler experienced herself drowning in 65 00:02:39,110 --> 00:02:36,840 a pool then was hovering above in the 66 00:02:41,150 --> 00:02:39,120 air watching her panicky mother trying 67 00:02:43,130 --> 00:02:41,160 to revive her body and at that moment 68 00:02:44,630 --> 00:02:43,140 she felt like she could either leave or 69 00:02:45,949 --> 00:02:44,640 come back and because of her love for 70 00:02:48,410 --> 00:02:45,959 her mother and recognizing how much 71 00:02:50,030 --> 00:02:48,420 guilt the mother was feeling she came 72 00:02:51,610 --> 00:02:50,040 back and then later on had this amazing 73 00:02:54,710 --> 00:02:51,620 experience where 74 00:02:57,350 --> 00:02:54,720 she was bonding with a man she did not 75 00:02:58,670 --> 00:02:57,360 know who was in a coma-like state then 76 00:03:00,589 --> 00:02:58,680 she started feeling this connection with 77 00:03:02,570 --> 00:03:00,599 this man and just when she thought there 78 00:03:04,490 --> 00:03:02,580 was no hope because no one expected him 79 00:03:06,970 --> 00:03:04,500 to revive she was in an out-of-body 80 00:03:09,650 --> 00:03:06,980 State when she saw three blue aliens 81 00:03:11,509 --> 00:03:09,660 basically operating on him energetically 82 00:03:13,610 --> 00:03:11,519 and soon afterwards he started having 83 00:03:15,110 --> 00:03:13,620 complete lung recovery when no one was 84 00:03:16,970 --> 00:03:15,120 expecting it and made a full recovery 85 00:03:18,949 --> 00:03:16,980 and she ended up marrying this man right 86 00:03:21,410 --> 00:03:18,959 so this is these are the kind of stories 87 00:03:24,350 --> 00:03:21,420 were talked about the experiences 88 00:03:27,589 --> 00:03:24,360 we had one person that talked about 89 00:03:29,690 --> 00:03:27,599 having known a friend who 90 00:03:32,630 --> 00:03:29,700 basically had a really remarkable 91 00:03:34,190 --> 00:03:32,640 experience with this conductor who was a 92 00:03:36,110 --> 00:03:34,200 conductor of an orchestra but he also 93 00:03:37,550 --> 00:03:36,120 seemed to conduct energy and so one time 94 00:03:39,050 --> 00:03:37,560 when she went to shake his hand it's 95 00:03:40,610 --> 00:03:39,060 like lightning went through their hands 96 00:03:42,890 --> 00:03:40,620 kind of thing and she later experienced 97 00:03:45,050 --> 00:03:42,900 a different dimensional aspect of him 98 00:03:47,449 --> 00:03:45,060 through this ball of light that was 99 00:03:49,190 --> 00:03:47,459 appearing which felt like a a different 100 00:03:50,869 --> 00:03:49,200 dimensional kind of representation of 101 00:03:53,089 --> 00:03:50,879 his Spirit while he was also on the 102 00:03:55,670 --> 00:03:53,099 earth somewhere else and then last but 103 00:03:57,589 --> 00:03:55,680 not least the Highlight for me was Karen 104 00:04:00,289 --> 00:03:57,599 Austin my colleague at the John Mack 105 00:04:02,330 --> 00:04:00,299 Institute just talked about John's life 106 00:04:05,449 --> 00:04:02,340 and his legacy and talked about the the 107 00:04:07,009 --> 00:04:05,459 gift of all of the the data from the 108 00:04:08,869 --> 00:04:07,019 John Mack Institute that's being handed 109 00:04:12,170 --> 00:04:08,879 over to the archives the impossible for 110 00:04:13,610 --> 00:04:12,180 Jeff and his crew to to handle uh and 111 00:04:17,090 --> 00:04:13,620 that's going to lead to a lot of really 112 00:04:19,129 --> 00:04:17,100 interesting data scraping and AI driven 113 00:04:21,050 --> 00:04:19,139 kind of analysis of patterns and things 114 00:04:22,490 --> 00:04:21,060 like that in the future a lot of really 115 00:04:24,710 --> 00:04:22,500 interesting things happened it was very 116 00:04:26,810 --> 00:04:24,720 moving talk because for Karen she knew 117 00:04:28,670 --> 00:04:26,820 John directly and actually was the last 118 00:04:30,170 --> 00:04:28,680 person to see him alive she took him to 119 00:04:32,689 --> 00:04:30,180 the airport before he flew to the UK 120 00:04:35,330 --> 00:04:32,699 where he was killed unfortunately so it 121 00:04:37,550 --> 00:04:35,340 was a very moving sweeping but really 122 00:04:39,770 --> 00:04:37,560 energizing talk so it was a wonderful 123 00:04:40,969 --> 00:04:39,780 time and like you said I got to see all 124 00:04:42,830 --> 00:04:40,979 sorts of friends that I already knew 125 00:04:44,150 --> 00:04:42,840 from places like New York last year in 126 00:04:46,670 --> 00:04:44,160 the conference there that Jay and James 127 00:04:49,189 --> 00:04:46,680 put on and also met a bunch of people 128 00:04:51,050 --> 00:04:49,199 that knew me that I didn't know which 129 00:04:52,790 --> 00:04:51,060 was great as well so yeah it was a great 130 00:04:56,150 --> 00:04:52,800 time all around 131 00:05:00,170 --> 00:04:56,160 that sounds fantastic and it's exciting 132 00:05:03,530 --> 00:05:00,180 to see that it's gaining steam I think 133 00:05:05,689 --> 00:05:03,540 the the attention the attendance has 134 00:05:07,129 --> 00:05:05,699 been greater at this conference than the 135 00:05:10,010 --> 00:05:07,139 year before and that's what I would 136 00:05:12,710 --> 00:05:10,020 expect to see as we move forward uh we 137 00:05:15,710 --> 00:05:12,720 we know we've heard that academics are 138 00:05:19,550 --> 00:05:15,720 gaining more and more interest in this 139 00:05:21,770 --> 00:05:19,560 topic that it's not the taboo uh sort of 140 00:05:23,870 --> 00:05:21,780 butt of the joke uh topic that it used 141 00:05:25,370 --> 00:05:23,880 to be there's a lot of interest and 142 00:05:27,529 --> 00:05:25,380 we've heard from folks like Gary Nolan 143 00:05:29,510 --> 00:05:27,539 who have talked about being in private 144 00:05:31,189 --> 00:05:29,520 circles with academics and they you just 145 00:05:33,950 --> 00:05:31,199 peppered with questions they they're 146 00:05:36,650 --> 00:05:33,960 thirsty for this information uh to me 147 00:05:39,290 --> 00:05:36,660 it's a the frontier really of an 148 00:05:42,650 --> 00:05:39,300 exciting time of human knowledge and 149 00:05:45,050 --> 00:05:42,660 discovery that is going to rewrite what 150 00:05:48,050 --> 00:05:45,060 we know about ourselves and the other 151 00:05:50,350 --> 00:05:48,060 academic disciplines that that uh in 152 00:05:53,390 --> 00:05:50,360 many respects have kind of grown stale 153 00:05:56,810 --> 00:05:53,400 uh and so we're kind of poised for 154 00:05:59,210 --> 00:05:56,820 Revival of uh Renaissance if you will of 155 00:06:01,790 --> 00:05:59,220 human knowledge which is to me very very 156 00:06:03,830 --> 00:06:01,800 exciting and encouraging and uh 157 00:06:05,749 --> 00:06:03,840 developing those connections and that 158 00:06:08,210 --> 00:06:05,759 Network there I'm sure was stimulating 159 00:06:10,850 --> 00:06:08,220 for you as you can see new opportunities 160 00:06:12,469 --> 00:06:10,860 arising on the horizon from those 161 00:06:14,570 --> 00:06:12,479 connections 162 00:06:16,129 --> 00:06:14,580 indeed it was it was wonderful and there 163 00:06:18,409 --> 00:06:16,139 was quite an assortment of academics 164 00:06:19,850 --> 00:06:18,419 that reached out to me and said I hear 165 00:06:21,830 --> 00:06:19,860 you have big plans for the future in 166 00:06:23,090 --> 00:06:21,840 terms of trying to actually model a 167 00:06:24,529 --> 00:06:23,100 different way of Being Human and a 168 00:06:26,390 --> 00:06:24,539 different way of being a civilization so 169 00:06:29,029 --> 00:06:26,400 I actually had people everything from 170 00:06:31,070 --> 00:06:29,039 nuclear physicists to archaeologists to 171 00:06:32,510 --> 00:06:31,080 anthropologists coming up to me giving 172 00:06:33,830 --> 00:06:32,520 me their business card and saying I'm 173 00:06:35,809 --> 00:06:33,840 really interested in being involved in 174 00:06:38,809 --> 00:06:35,819 the future you know please keep in touch 175 00:06:40,670 --> 00:06:38,819 so absolutely there was quite quite an 176 00:06:43,249 --> 00:06:40,680 assortment and many many of them were 177 00:06:44,930 --> 00:06:43,259 academics and I I hear regularly from 178 00:06:47,330 --> 00:06:44,940 academics that want to 179 00:06:49,909 --> 00:06:47,340 to study this I'm going to be involved 180 00:06:51,290 --> 00:06:49,919 with someone who's a PhD in philosophy 181 00:06:52,850 --> 00:06:51,300 that's going to be writing a book about 182 00:06:54,950 --> 00:06:52,860 these kind of things and going to 183 00:06:57,529 --> 00:06:54,960 interview me and some other people so 184 00:07:00,590 --> 00:06:57,539 yeah it's really really fascinating that 185 00:07:03,050 --> 00:07:00,600 this is all finally Gathering steam in 186 00:07:03,770 --> 00:07:03,060 the mainstream and I would suggest based 187 00:07:04,969 --> 00:07:03,780 on what we're going to talk about 188 00:07:05,930 --> 00:07:04,979 tonight that that is just getting 189 00:07:09,650 --> 00:07:05,940 started 190 00:07:14,230 --> 00:07:09,660 yeah exactly uh we're going to do a deep 191 00:07:17,510 --> 00:07:14,240 dive this evening into uh what what the 192 00:07:20,029 --> 00:07:17,520 post-disclosure world may look like what 193 00:07:23,890 --> 00:07:20,039 exploring some facets of that new 194 00:07:26,390 --> 00:07:23,900 reality when the 195 00:07:29,089 --> 00:07:26,400 extraterrestrial or non-human 196 00:07:32,390 --> 00:07:29,099 intelligent aspects of this phenomenon 197 00:07:34,730 --> 00:07:32,400 become publicly known and accepted in 198 00:07:37,550 --> 00:07:34,740 human civilization 199 00:07:39,830 --> 00:07:37,560 um you know it's a it's even to say that 200 00:07:42,650 --> 00:07:39,840 out loud Darren to me is is a very 201 00:07:44,629 --> 00:07:42,660 profound thing to imagine and we talk 202 00:07:48,350 --> 00:07:44,639 about this all the time but we're 203 00:07:50,990 --> 00:07:48,360 hearing in social media we're hearing uh 204 00:07:53,770 --> 00:07:51,000 in the rumor mill that that we're 205 00:07:56,390 --> 00:07:53,780 seemingly very close to some big 206 00:07:58,309 --> 00:07:56,400 announcements or Revelations that uh 207 00:08:01,309 --> 00:07:58,319 that will change the the Paradigm 208 00:08:05,629 --> 00:08:01,319 further us I've heard people say akin to 209 00:08:08,050 --> 00:08:05,639 the 2017 New York Times article and then 210 00:08:11,589 --> 00:08:08,060 that will also just continue to snowball 211 00:08:15,950 --> 00:08:11,599 with other Revelations that will follow 212 00:08:17,809 --> 00:08:15,960 you can't help but see that if there 213 00:08:20,809 --> 00:08:17,819 isn't there there which I know you and I 214 00:08:24,350 --> 00:08:20,819 both argue there is that the truth 215 00:08:26,749 --> 00:08:24,360 eventually will find the light of day uh 216 00:08:29,150 --> 00:08:26,759 and that the snowballing effect here is 217 00:08:32,870 --> 00:08:29,160 very real the momentum has been building 218 00:08:34,670 --> 00:08:32,880 and eventually you cannot put that 219 00:08:38,329 --> 00:08:34,680 backhand put the toothpaste back in the 220 00:08:40,130 --> 00:08:38,339 tube it is out and I think uh as much as 221 00:08:41,690 --> 00:08:40,140 you and I talk about it all the time and 222 00:08:44,029 --> 00:08:41,700 are excited for that we still don't 223 00:08:46,490 --> 00:08:44,039 really know exactly what that world will 224 00:08:48,650 --> 00:08:46,500 look like we can speculate and and we 225 00:08:51,350 --> 00:08:48,660 can offer our kind of best guesses or 226 00:08:54,170 --> 00:08:51,360 even our aspirations but we don't fully 227 00:08:56,990 --> 00:08:54,180 know what that new day will be like for 228 00:08:58,430 --> 00:08:57,000 the individual and for our entire 229 00:09:00,730 --> 00:08:58,440 civilizations we're going to explore 230 00:09:03,350 --> 00:09:00,740 some of the Contours of that on the show 231 00:09:04,490 --> 00:09:03,360 this evening so as we kind of kick that 232 00:09:06,050 --> 00:09:04,500 off 233 00:09:09,829 --> 00:09:06,060 I know you wanted to talk a little bit 234 00:09:12,230 --> 00:09:09,839 about uh you know what you're hearing or 235 00:09:15,949 --> 00:09:12,240 at least uh you're maybe your assessment 236 00:09:18,949 --> 00:09:15,959 of what you're seeing take place in uh 237 00:09:21,170 --> 00:09:18,959 social media as well as amongst other 238 00:09:22,910 --> 00:09:21,180 ufologists who you you know who you stay 239 00:09:26,269 --> 00:09:22,920 close to so what what what's your take 240 00:09:27,650 --> 00:09:26,279 on where we are at the moment 241 00:09:29,210 --> 00:09:27,660 right well as you and I were talking 242 00:09:30,530 --> 00:09:29,220 about before we went on the air Gary 243 00:09:32,990 --> 00:09:30,540 Newland just today 244 00:09:34,970 --> 00:09:33,000 was making some remarks in a conference 245 00:09:37,070 --> 00:09:34,980 in New York of course we have people 246 00:09:39,829 --> 00:09:37,080 like John Ramirez who've been saying 247 00:09:41,449 --> 00:09:39,839 some pretty bold things about this 248 00:09:43,610 --> 00:09:41,459 I would just say that what I'm hearing 249 00:09:45,710 --> 00:09:43,620 in my circles confirms all of that and 250 00:09:48,110 --> 00:09:45,720 then some so I think 251 00:09:50,509 --> 00:09:48,120 this is not just a a nice conversation 252 00:09:52,370 --> 00:09:50,519 to have about a one day kind of thing I 253 00:09:55,610 --> 00:09:52,380 think we really are on the precipice of 254 00:09:56,810 --> 00:09:55,620 something significant happening and so 255 00:09:58,130 --> 00:09:56,820 it seems like a perfect time to have 256 00:10:00,050 --> 00:09:58,140 this conversation 257 00:10:02,090 --> 00:10:00,060 so yeah so I would say to people if you 258 00:10:03,290 --> 00:10:02,100 are worried about believing the hype I 259 00:10:04,970 --> 00:10:03,300 would say believe the hype this time 260 00:10:06,829 --> 00:10:04,980 there really is something coming and I 261 00:10:09,410 --> 00:10:06,839 think it really is going to Mark a new 262 00:10:12,230 --> 00:10:09,420 day in our civilization 263 00:10:14,750 --> 00:10:12,240 wow uh well I have in a fasten your seat 264 00:10:17,750 --> 00:10:14,760 belts uh put your tray tables in there 265 00:10:18,490 --> 00:10:17,760 up right in the locked positions uh we 266 00:10:24,829 --> 00:10:18,500 will 267 00:10:28,970 --> 00:10:24,839 beta breath I'm looking forward to it uh 268 00:10:31,670 --> 00:10:28,980 I'm also aware that when that time comes 269 00:10:34,970 --> 00:10:31,680 there will be you can almost pick 270 00:10:37,009 --> 00:10:34,980 picture the moment right whenever uh the 271 00:10:40,250 --> 00:10:37,019 audience is hearing something that 272 00:10:43,370 --> 00:10:40,260 profound you can almost hear the breath 273 00:10:45,710 --> 00:10:43,380 of every person kind of inhale as 274 00:10:48,710 --> 00:10:45,720 they're taking in that that new and new 275 00:10:50,750 --> 00:10:48,720 experience and digesting uh what it 276 00:10:53,449 --> 00:10:50,760 means for them what it means for them as 277 00:10:56,690 --> 00:10:53,459 an individual what it means for them in 278 00:10:59,269 --> 00:10:56,700 their families and Social Circles Etc uh 279 00:11:01,310 --> 00:10:59,279 I think that's going to be really the 280 00:11:05,030 --> 00:11:01,320 immediate impact right is what's 281 00:11:07,790 --> 00:11:05,040 happening to us when we uh really sit 282 00:11:09,769 --> 00:11:07,800 with this uh even those of us who have 283 00:11:11,569 --> 00:11:09,779 been champions of the topic for so long 284 00:11:13,490 --> 00:11:11,579 I think sitting down with it and 285 00:11:15,889 --> 00:11:13,500 realizing that yes that thing we've 286 00:11:18,470 --> 00:11:15,899 talked about and we've tried to convince 287 00:11:21,110 --> 00:11:18,480 others of it's a validity 288 00:11:23,389 --> 00:11:21,120 it's here and and what does that mean 289 00:11:24,889 --> 00:11:23,399 for us how are we we changed in that in 290 00:11:28,670 --> 00:11:24,899 that moment 291 00:11:31,009 --> 00:11:28,680 um how do you see that transpiring uh on 292 00:11:33,829 --> 00:11:31,019 the individual uh experience and and 293 00:11:35,569 --> 00:11:33,839 also within those immediate uh spheres 294 00:11:37,790 --> 00:11:35,579 of influence with your family members 295 00:11:39,530 --> 00:11:37,800 and and your Social Circle and your 296 00:11:42,410 --> 00:11:39,540 social media Circle how do you see that 297 00:11:43,730 --> 00:11:42,420 kind of taking place 298 00:11:45,470 --> 00:11:43,740 yeah I think that's a great place to 299 00:11:46,970 --> 00:11:45,480 begin because we'll we'll get into some 300 00:11:49,250 --> 00:11:46,980 of the different ways this will impact 301 00:11:51,050 --> 00:11:49,260 our civilization in the big picture 302 00:11:53,750 --> 00:11:51,060 we'll look at it religiously 303 00:11:56,030 --> 00:11:53,760 scientifically developmentally 304 00:11:57,650 --> 00:11:56,040 but initially I think each of us will 305 00:11:59,509 --> 00:11:57,660 have the experience of our Circles of 306 00:12:02,509 --> 00:11:59,519 influence suddenly being interested in 307 00:12:05,329 --> 00:12:02,519 this topic people who either kind of 308 00:12:07,790 --> 00:12:05,339 scoffed at the notion or just didn't 309 00:12:09,530 --> 00:12:07,800 show that much interest or whatever 310 00:12:10,490 --> 00:12:09,540 hopefully didn't call us crazy but maybe 311 00:12:12,410 --> 00:12:10,500 there's some people like that in 312 00:12:14,210 --> 00:12:12,420 people's lives 313 00:12:16,310 --> 00:12:14,220 to suddenly realizing these people will 314 00:12:17,810 --> 00:12:16,320 have no choice but to really face face 315 00:12:19,490 --> 00:12:17,820 this I think there might be some people 316 00:12:21,590 --> 00:12:19,500 that will still somehow want to bury 317 00:12:22,670 --> 00:12:21,600 their heads in the sand but that will be 318 00:12:25,250 --> 00:12:22,680 very clear that that's what they're 319 00:12:28,250 --> 00:12:25,260 doing at that point and willfully so 320 00:12:30,410 --> 00:12:28,260 so yeah I just want to prep this by 321 00:12:32,210 --> 00:12:30,420 saying to everyone just imagine all of 322 00:12:34,550 --> 00:12:32,220 your extended family and your work 323 00:12:36,110 --> 00:12:34,560 colleagues and people that you you know 324 00:12:38,690 --> 00:12:36,120 chat with while you're in the grocery 325 00:12:40,430 --> 00:12:38,700 store line all of those conversations I 326 00:12:42,949 --> 00:12:40,440 think are going to begin to move in this 327 00:12:45,829 --> 00:12:42,959 direction because let's just step back 328 00:12:48,350 --> 00:12:45,839 and think about how historic this is we 329 00:12:51,949 --> 00:12:48,360 are the first generation in history 330 00:12:55,069 --> 00:12:51,959 of the human race that will be 331 00:12:57,769 --> 00:12:55,079 alive when this kind of Revelation 332 00:12:59,269 --> 00:12:57,779 hits the mainstream it's really 333 00:13:00,710 --> 00:12:59,279 remarkable when you think about it I 334 00:13:02,329 --> 00:13:00,720 think those of us really intimately 335 00:13:04,490 --> 00:13:02,339 familiar with this topic and passionate 336 00:13:06,889 --> 00:13:04,500 about it have been so used to being the 337 00:13:08,690 --> 00:13:06,899 the minority party in government that 338 00:13:10,610 --> 00:13:08,700 we're almost not even prepared for the 339 00:13:13,069 --> 00:13:10,620 day that suddenly someone hands us the 340 00:13:16,250 --> 00:13:13,079 reins of power and says okay you were 341 00:13:17,750 --> 00:13:16,260 right there is a there there what now we 342 00:13:19,610 --> 00:13:17,760 really need to think about this I think 343 00:13:21,350 --> 00:13:19,620 I would suggest to people they spend 344 00:13:23,090 --> 00:13:21,360 some time meditating grounding 345 00:13:25,430 --> 00:13:23,100 themselves because it's going to be some 346 00:13:27,290 --> 00:13:25,440 crazy times ahead and a lot of people 347 00:13:30,350 --> 00:13:27,300 that have not shown interest in this 348 00:13:31,970 --> 00:13:30,360 will suddenly be asking you for for 349 00:13:34,190 --> 00:13:31,980 answers because you're the one with the 350 00:13:36,110 --> 00:13:34,200 the interest in the topic so 351 00:13:37,910 --> 00:13:36,120 spend some time thinking about that how 352 00:13:41,090 --> 00:13:37,920 you will respond how can you break down 353 00:13:43,610 --> 00:13:41,100 this incredibly nuanced and uh complex 354 00:13:45,410 --> 00:13:43,620 Topic in a way that can help people not 355 00:13:47,509 --> 00:13:45,420 only understand it but also not be 356 00:13:50,329 --> 00:13:47,519 completely overwhelmed by the experience 357 00:13:55,490 --> 00:13:53,090 I'm thinking of almost the stages of 358 00:13:58,850 --> 00:13:55,500 grief uh and maybe we can talk about 359 00:14:04,069 --> 00:14:02,030 it will be very natural for us to 360 00:14:07,190 --> 00:14:04,079 experience a kind of grief 361 00:14:10,370 --> 00:14:07,200 in the face of this paradigm 362 00:14:14,090 --> 00:14:10,380 shifting revelation 363 00:14:15,650 --> 00:14:14,100 uh it will be if you've ever been close 364 00:14:18,290 --> 00:14:15,660 to someone and you've lost that that 365 00:14:20,269 --> 00:14:18,300 person if you've ever had a major 366 00:14:22,430 --> 00:14:20,279 disappointment in your life you know 367 00:14:26,030 --> 00:14:22,440 what that feeling is like that that 368 00:14:29,569 --> 00:14:26,040 immense sense of loss and 369 00:14:31,310 --> 00:14:29,579 that will be pretty I think palpable uh 370 00:14:33,769 --> 00:14:31,320 for for a lot of people including those 371 00:14:36,470 --> 00:14:33,779 of us that have been talking about this 372 00:14:38,990 --> 00:14:36,480 in The Fringe circles there will be a 373 00:14:41,689 --> 00:14:39,000 kind of grief that this topic that we 374 00:14:44,150 --> 00:14:41,699 have in a way kind of brooded over like 375 00:14:47,329 --> 00:14:44,160 a hen over the egg is now 376 00:14:49,490 --> 00:14:47,339 you know it's left the nest and uh we 377 00:14:51,889 --> 00:14:49,500 got to see how it's going to take its 378 00:14:53,870 --> 00:14:51,899 first steps and we're going to I think 379 00:14:55,790 --> 00:14:53,880 have definite moments where we'll we'll 380 00:14:57,670 --> 00:14:55,800 be upset that it's uh it's it's 381 00:15:00,290 --> 00:14:57,680 unfolding in a way that we didn't 382 00:15:02,030 --> 00:15:00,300 anticipate it would uh and that we will 383 00:15:03,769 --> 00:15:02,040 have to Grapple with that and wrestle 384 00:15:07,009 --> 00:15:03,779 with that and maybe even be frustrated 385 00:15:10,730 --> 00:15:07,019 that the voices that we may have worked 386 00:15:13,730 --> 00:15:10,740 so hard to uh to to create and Foster 387 00:15:16,430 --> 00:15:13,740 and and articulate that those voices 388 00:15:18,650 --> 00:15:16,440 could get drowned out by new voices who 389 00:15:21,590 --> 00:15:18,660 really don't have a deep understanding 390 00:15:23,870 --> 00:15:21,600 of the material yet they are getting a 391 00:15:25,550 --> 00:15:23,880 great deal of attention so there's that 392 00:15:26,930 --> 00:15:25,560 level of grief for those of us who've 393 00:15:28,850 --> 00:15:26,940 been on the inside 394 00:15:31,610 --> 00:15:28,860 and then of course there's that grief 395 00:15:33,290 --> 00:15:31,620 for those who are whose whose lives are 396 00:15:35,269 --> 00:15:33,300 now different in the face of this 397 00:15:37,610 --> 00:15:35,279 reality everything they thought they 398 00:15:39,410 --> 00:15:37,620 knew is is a has been upended and so 399 00:15:41,090 --> 00:15:39,420 they will grieve for the world that they 400 00:15:43,970 --> 00:15:41,100 knew the world that they love the world 401 00:15:47,030 --> 00:15:43,980 that they understood in the face of all 402 00:15:48,530 --> 00:15:47,040 of this newness and uncertainty so you 403 00:15:50,689 --> 00:15:48,540 know those of us who are close to it as 404 00:15:53,569 --> 00:15:50,699 you said we have a responsibility I 405 00:15:55,850 --> 00:15:53,579 would argue to be present to to 406 00:15:58,850 --> 00:15:55,860 ourselves be present to the world those 407 00:16:01,970 --> 00:15:58,860 around us and and be a participant in 408 00:16:04,670 --> 00:16:01,980 that process because it is a process you 409 00:16:06,170 --> 00:16:04,680 cannot grieve and flip a light switch it 410 00:16:08,810 --> 00:16:06,180 is something that you are doing you are 411 00:16:10,550 --> 00:16:08,820 grieving and that is something you will 412 00:16:13,069 --> 00:16:10,560 go through and you need to lean into 413 00:16:15,949 --> 00:16:13,079 that and and be present in that in that 414 00:16:18,050 --> 00:16:15,959 process to come out on the other end as 415 00:16:19,970 --> 00:16:18,060 a new person uh what are your thoughts 416 00:16:22,189 --> 00:16:19,980 on that 417 00:16:24,410 --> 00:16:22,199 my my first thought is that we are 418 00:16:25,910 --> 00:16:24,420 officially announcing that from from the 419 00:16:27,470 --> 00:16:25,920 moment of disclosure on this podcast 420 00:16:31,009 --> 00:16:27,480 will be known as hen over the egg 421 00:16:34,009 --> 00:16:31,019 instead of liminal frame because to mark 422 00:16:36,050 --> 00:16:34,019 that change in history uh but no in all 423 00:16:37,850 --> 00:16:36,060 seriousness 424 00:16:39,829 --> 00:16:37,860 yes I think that's a great point and as 425 00:16:41,689 --> 00:16:39,839 you were saying this here it made me 426 00:16:44,749 --> 00:16:41,699 think about the fact that 427 00:16:46,850 --> 00:16:44,759 many of us have spent years cultivating 428 00:16:48,710 --> 00:16:46,860 this nuanced understanding of this very 429 00:16:51,050 --> 00:16:48,720 very complex phenomenon which as I've 430 00:16:53,449 --> 00:16:51,060 said many times likely involves many 431 00:16:55,850 --> 00:16:53,459 different actors from different you know 432 00:16:58,189 --> 00:16:55,860 origin sources with with different 433 00:16:59,269 --> 00:16:58,199 factioning going on even within certain 434 00:17:01,189 --> 00:16:59,279 types 435 00:17:04,250 --> 00:17:01,199 so it's very very complex you imagine 436 00:17:07,250 --> 00:17:04,260 someone having to sort of swallow that 437 00:17:08,750 --> 00:17:07,260 entirety in one Fell Swoop is going to 438 00:17:11,210 --> 00:17:08,760 be a lot to take on 439 00:17:13,490 --> 00:17:11,220 and on top of that you're going to have 440 00:17:15,350 --> 00:17:13,500 the thought leaders quote unquote or 441 00:17:17,449 --> 00:17:15,360 social influencers and things like that 442 00:17:18,890 --> 00:17:17,459 that people will look to to give them 443 00:17:20,329 --> 00:17:18,900 some sort of guidance when those people 444 00:17:21,710 --> 00:17:20,339 don't know what they're talking about 445 00:17:23,270 --> 00:17:21,720 they have no idea what they're talking 446 00:17:26,090 --> 00:17:23,280 about and they're going to wax 447 00:17:29,630 --> 00:17:26,100 philosophical but based on Bob probably 448 00:17:31,430 --> 00:17:29,640 bias and Prejudice and watching too much 449 00:17:32,990 --> 00:17:31,440 science fiction or whatever or whether 450 00:17:34,310 --> 00:17:33,000 it's a religious perspective they grew 451 00:17:35,990 --> 00:17:34,320 up with or whatever 452 00:17:37,549 --> 00:17:36,000 there's going to be a lot of people that 453 00:17:39,230 --> 00:17:37,559 are going to be speaking about this 454 00:17:41,570 --> 00:17:39,240 unfortunately that are not very well 455 00:17:43,909 --> 00:17:41,580 educated about it who'd not been 456 00:17:46,310 --> 00:17:43,919 around long enough to really have to 457 00:17:49,010 --> 00:17:46,320 ground the nuance and the complexity the 458 00:17:51,710 --> 00:17:49,020 high strangeness the tricksterness of it 459 00:17:53,090 --> 00:17:51,720 all right how space and time seems to be 460 00:17:55,370 --> 00:17:53,100 distorted and played with by this 461 00:17:56,690 --> 00:17:55,380 phenomenon these are very very complex 462 00:17:58,250 --> 00:17:56,700 issues to wrap your head around that 463 00:18:00,650 --> 00:17:58,260 that even those of us who've been doing 464 00:18:02,870 --> 00:18:00,660 this for years still reckon with the 465 00:18:05,390 --> 00:18:02,880 fact that it it basically blows our 466 00:18:07,310 --> 00:18:05,400 minds so imagine people who are just 467 00:18:09,950 --> 00:18:07,320 used to on the Fly saying what their 468 00:18:12,289 --> 00:18:09,960 opinion is in our fast-paced social 469 00:18:13,909 --> 00:18:12,299 media kind of culture what is that going 470 00:18:16,669 --> 00:18:13,919 to look like when when that kind of 471 00:18:19,190 --> 00:18:16,679 irresponsible 472 00:18:20,930 --> 00:18:19,200 kind of response happens after this 473 00:18:24,350 --> 00:18:20,940 disclosure moment so I think that's even 474 00:18:28,010 --> 00:18:24,360 why we saw in the past certain 475 00:18:29,870 --> 00:18:28,020 societal leaders and thought leaders 476 00:18:30,890 --> 00:18:29,880 actually being approached we talked 477 00:18:32,630 --> 00:18:30,900 about this right away this has been 478 00:18:35,270 --> 00:18:32,640 talked about before 479 00:18:39,110 --> 00:18:35,280 where people were 480 00:18:40,850 --> 00:18:39,120 approach to basically help cultivate the 481 00:18:42,950 --> 00:18:40,860 conversation with a certain group of 482 00:18:45,770 --> 00:18:42,960 society that they have influence over 483 00:18:47,029 --> 00:18:45,780 because there is this recognition that 484 00:18:48,529 --> 00:18:47,039 you know people are going to turn to 485 00:18:49,970 --> 00:18:48,539 different leaders this is going to raise 486 00:18:51,650 --> 00:18:49,980 some really interesting questions about 487 00:18:53,529 --> 00:18:51,660 Authority 488 00:18:55,669 --> 00:18:53,539 not the least of which is because 489 00:18:58,370 --> 00:18:55,679 suddenly we're going to be dealing with 490 00:19:00,289 --> 00:18:58,380 an intelligence that's far beyond ours 491 00:19:01,730 --> 00:19:00,299 not necessarily morally again we can 492 00:19:03,370 --> 00:19:01,740 have that conversation about what that 493 00:19:07,850 --> 00:19:03,380 means but I just mean in sheer 494 00:19:11,450 --> 00:19:07,860 intellectual computational power it just 495 00:19:13,130 --> 00:19:11,460 eclipses Us by so many times over that 496 00:19:15,169 --> 00:19:13,140 suddenly people are going to be asking 497 00:19:18,289 --> 00:19:15,179 what role does government have here what 498 00:19:20,150 --> 00:19:18,299 role can government play when something 499 00:19:22,430 --> 00:19:20,160 that's so much more sophisticated than 500 00:19:23,990 --> 00:19:22,440 us is on the scene this is going to be 501 00:19:25,370 --> 00:19:24,000 very discombobulating and for some 502 00:19:28,430 --> 00:19:25,380 people it will make them feel very 503 00:19:32,029 --> 00:19:28,440 vulnerable as well I would suggest 504 00:19:34,190 --> 00:19:32,039 no doubt there's such a I think we all 505 00:19:36,770 --> 00:19:34,200 have a sense in which the current social 506 00:19:39,169 --> 00:19:36,780 order is 507 00:19:40,970 --> 00:19:39,179 quite fragile 508 00:19:44,810 --> 00:19:40,980 um I had a conversation earlier today 509 00:19:47,450 --> 00:19:44,820 with a neighbor and it came up just how 510 00:19:49,430 --> 00:19:47,460 difficult it is today to and sometimes 511 00:19:51,409 --> 00:19:49,440 even function because there's so much 512 00:19:53,870 --> 00:19:51,419 information coming at us at every sort 513 00:19:55,970 --> 00:19:53,880 of hour of the day uh the the 514 00:19:58,370 --> 00:19:55,980 traditional meaning making centers that 515 00:20:02,210 --> 00:19:58,380 we've had in the past aren't really 516 00:20:03,710 --> 00:20:02,220 there any longer uh the the Traditions 517 00:20:06,710 --> 00:20:03,720 that we've grown up with right that 518 00:20:09,529 --> 00:20:06,720 we've many of us have issued uh in favor 519 00:20:11,810 --> 00:20:09,539 of we're not even quite sure what uh 520 00:20:14,150 --> 00:20:11,820 we've just sort of let ourselves adrift 521 00:20:17,330 --> 00:20:14,160 on the ocean of uh social media and 522 00:20:19,610 --> 00:20:17,340 entertainment uh and dopamine hits and 523 00:20:22,610 --> 00:20:19,620 and we we don't really have a discipline 524 00:20:25,789 --> 00:20:22,620 or routine or or any kind of meaningful 525 00:20:27,409 --> 00:20:25,799 tradition that we can latch on to and 526 00:20:30,230 --> 00:20:27,419 I'm so I'm wondering will there be a 527 00:20:33,289 --> 00:20:30,240 kind of a whiplash in a way uh in the 528 00:20:36,409 --> 00:20:33,299 face of this reality where we might 529 00:20:39,289 --> 00:20:36,419 return back to some of those ways of 530 00:20:42,049 --> 00:20:39,299 thinking or or try to find comfort in 531 00:20:44,029 --> 00:20:42,059 those systems that we maybe left behind 532 00:20:47,210 --> 00:20:44,039 and look for answers there you could 533 00:20:49,430 --> 00:20:47,220 imagine for example maybe churches uh 534 00:20:50,750 --> 00:20:49,440 being full of people you know seeking an 535 00:20:53,270 --> 00:20:50,760 answer or seeking you know Community 536 00:20:55,789 --> 00:20:53,280 communion just to try to understand what 537 00:20:57,049 --> 00:20:55,799 it is that it is happening uh you know I 538 00:20:59,870 --> 00:20:57,059 don't know that that's too far-fetched 539 00:21:01,610 --> 00:20:59,880 to imagine or at least all of us uh may 540 00:21:04,190 --> 00:21:01,620 be genuflecting in front of our phones 541 00:21:06,950 --> 00:21:04,200 on social media looking for someone to 542 00:21:10,549 --> 00:21:06,960 step forward who we have some sort of 543 00:21:12,770 --> 00:21:10,559 faith in as a thought leader as a a 544 00:21:14,570 --> 00:21:12,780 person of good character of course 545 00:21:17,029 --> 00:21:14,580 that's obviously very subjective based 546 00:21:19,490 --> 00:21:17,039 on your particular tribe but looking for 547 00:21:22,070 --> 00:21:19,500 them to give guidance Direction and some 548 00:21:25,010 --> 00:21:22,080 sort of answers in the face of this 549 00:21:28,250 --> 00:21:25,020 incredibly complex mystery 550 00:21:31,190 --> 00:21:28,260 um it will consume us it will I think 551 00:21:34,010 --> 00:21:31,200 interrupt our day-to-day is fair to say 552 00:21:35,930 --> 00:21:34,020 I have a hard time imagining going to 553 00:21:37,610 --> 00:21:35,940 work and be like well I'm just gonna do 554 00:21:39,470 --> 00:21:37,620 the normal work thing that I normally do 555 00:21:42,409 --> 00:21:39,480 today and said everyone's going to want 556 00:21:44,450 --> 00:21:42,419 to talk about whatever uh the details 557 00:21:46,850 --> 00:21:44,460 are for this type of 558 00:21:48,289 --> 00:21:46,860 and now an announcement that may occur 559 00:21:51,230 --> 00:21:48,299 so 560 00:21:52,789 --> 00:21:51,240 um what do you see in terms of uh you 561 00:21:54,890 --> 00:21:52,799 know kind of the Rippling effect and 562 00:21:56,570 --> 00:21:54,900 what what what systems are going to be 563 00:21:58,130 --> 00:21:56,580 affected I'm sure all of them are in 564 00:22:01,549 --> 00:21:58,140 some way but what do you see kind of 565 00:22:04,070 --> 00:22:01,559 happening first you see uh you know the 566 00:22:05,870 --> 00:22:04,080 the scientific Community uh you know 567 00:22:07,850 --> 00:22:05,880 kind of us looking to science for 568 00:22:09,649 --> 00:22:07,860 answers do you see folks going back to 569 00:22:12,529 --> 00:22:09,659 religion maybe a combination of those 570 00:22:14,210 --> 00:22:12,539 things where do you see it going 571 00:22:16,310 --> 00:22:14,220 yeah it's a good question I think we'll 572 00:22:18,409 --> 00:22:16,320 see both of those things happen 573 00:22:20,630 --> 00:22:18,419 um as well as other things as well 574 00:22:22,370 --> 00:22:20,640 one thing it will do with the academic 575 00:22:24,470 --> 00:22:22,380 community in the scientific Community is 576 00:22:27,590 --> 00:22:24,480 immediately open up all sorts of new 577 00:22:29,930 --> 00:22:27,600 inquiry and and desire for inquiry and 578 00:22:31,850 --> 00:22:29,940 study because suddenly it goes from 579 00:22:33,409 --> 00:22:31,860 being something that's rumored about 580 00:22:35,210 --> 00:22:33,419 maybe in 581 00:22:37,610 --> 00:22:35,220 you know circles that are considered 582 00:22:40,789 --> 00:22:37,620 kind of x-filesish and conspiracy 583 00:22:43,070 --> 00:22:40,799 conspiracy theorish suddenly we'll have 584 00:22:44,930 --> 00:22:43,080 been pronounced from on high from 585 00:22:45,770 --> 00:22:44,940 official circles that this this is a 586 00:22:48,529 --> 00:22:45,780 thing 587 00:22:50,690 --> 00:22:48,539 and suddenly that opens up so many 588 00:22:53,149 --> 00:22:50,700 questions because it already 589 00:22:55,490 --> 00:22:53,159 confounds our understanding of how the 590 00:22:57,770 --> 00:22:55,500 travel happens right how they go from 591 00:22:59,750 --> 00:22:57,780 there to here whatever the there is even 592 00:23:00,590 --> 00:22:59,760 if the there is a then rather than a 593 00:23:02,090 --> 00:23:00,600 there 594 00:23:04,010 --> 00:23:02,100 you know these are these are really 595 00:23:05,810 --> 00:23:04,020 fascinating questions and part of the 596 00:23:07,789 --> 00:23:05,820 reason why this has not garnered More 597 00:23:09,289 --> 00:23:07,799 Steam in the mainstream is because we 598 00:23:12,909 --> 00:23:09,299 don't see as you and I have talked about 599 00:23:14,930 --> 00:23:12,919 on previous podcasts this trail of 600 00:23:16,490 --> 00:23:14,940 Starcraft that are coming in from 601 00:23:18,409 --> 00:23:16,500 outside of Saturn and then you know 602 00:23:20,510 --> 00:23:18,419 coming towards the Earth as we sort of 603 00:23:22,789 --> 00:23:20,520 would expect based on science fiction 604 00:23:24,710 --> 00:23:22,799 history instead they seem to be able to 605 00:23:27,230 --> 00:23:24,720 manipulate space-time to the point where 606 00:23:28,430 --> 00:23:27,240 you just blip in and blip out which 607 00:23:30,830 --> 00:23:28,440 again raises all sorts of questions 608 00:23:32,390 --> 00:23:30,840 about where are they blipping out to is 609 00:23:34,250 --> 00:23:32,400 that a different dimension is at a 610 00:23:36,529 --> 00:23:34,260 different place in our physical universe 611 00:23:39,830 --> 00:23:36,539 is the notion of a physical Universe 612 00:23:42,169 --> 00:23:39,840 only a a localized partial construct 613 00:23:44,029 --> 00:23:42,179 which is soon to be eclipsed by a much 614 00:23:46,130 --> 00:23:44,039 broader understanding of reality these 615 00:23:49,250 --> 00:23:46,140 are all the kind of questions that will 616 00:23:50,690 --> 00:23:49,260 suddenly come to the fore per scientific 617 00:23:54,590 --> 00:23:50,700 communities because suddenly there will 618 00:23:57,350 --> 00:23:54,600 be data to to look at and a passion to 619 00:24:00,110 --> 00:23:57,360 actually examine that data and to put up 620 00:24:02,510 --> 00:24:00,120 new sensor systems and try to scramble 621 00:24:04,250 --> 00:24:02,520 to to try to understand this so I think 622 00:24:07,490 --> 00:24:04,260 that's going to be revolutionary and 623 00:24:08,990 --> 00:24:07,500 will actually help to speed up this 624 00:24:11,510 --> 00:24:09,000 Scientific Revolution that we're already 625 00:24:14,210 --> 00:24:11,520 in the midst of I would suggest where 626 00:24:16,310 --> 00:24:14,220 the sort of Hardcore physicalist men uh 627 00:24:18,649 --> 00:24:16,320 sort of model of reality will be quick 628 00:24:21,529 --> 00:24:18,659 quickly left behind I think based on 629 00:24:24,470 --> 00:24:21,539 some of the the data that will come up 630 00:24:26,029 --> 00:24:24,480 but as you say some people when they are 631 00:24:27,649 --> 00:24:26,039 in an emergency situation when they 632 00:24:29,390 --> 00:24:27,659 sense a crisis they go back to church 633 00:24:32,330 --> 00:24:29,400 they go back to the synagogue whatever 634 00:24:34,430 --> 00:24:32,340 their you know the um whatever their 635 00:24:36,770 --> 00:24:34,440 place of worship was or their 636 00:24:38,570 --> 00:24:36,780 traditional background 637 00:24:40,430 --> 00:24:38,580 the mosque whatever it is right we're 638 00:24:42,350 --> 00:24:40,440 going to have people go into those 639 00:24:44,210 --> 00:24:42,360 circles and asking people who are in 640 00:24:46,430 --> 00:24:44,220 many ways the least prepared to talk 641 00:24:49,250 --> 00:24:46,440 about this of anyone and then these 642 00:24:52,310 --> 00:24:49,260 people in these official sort of 643 00:24:54,169 --> 00:24:52,320 spiritual centers religious centers will 644 00:24:57,169 --> 00:24:54,179 feel probably the pressure of do I give 645 00:24:58,970 --> 00:24:57,179 the do I tow the party line here or do I 646 00:25:00,770 --> 00:24:58,980 actually open up the possibility that 647 00:25:03,230 --> 00:25:00,780 maybe we haven't thought broadly enough 648 00:25:06,169 --> 00:25:03,240 about these these topics and so 649 00:25:07,970 --> 00:25:06,179 who who your priest is and or your 650 00:25:10,190 --> 00:25:07,980 pastor or whatever 651 00:25:12,830 --> 00:25:10,200 your Iman whatever is going to really 652 00:25:15,289 --> 00:25:12,840 determine what kind of answer you get 653 00:25:17,570 --> 00:25:15,299 and you're going to see not just 654 00:25:19,370 --> 00:25:17,580 scientific panels being quickly put 655 00:25:21,409 --> 00:25:19,380 together to try to study this but also 656 00:25:23,750 --> 00:25:21,419 religious panels we're going to have the 657 00:25:25,130 --> 00:25:23,760 Vatican probably scramble to to gather 658 00:25:27,350 --> 00:25:25,140 people to talk and you're going to have 659 00:25:29,510 --> 00:25:27,360 Evangelical circles try to do that 660 00:25:32,750 --> 00:25:29,520 so it's going to be fascinating because 661 00:25:34,730 --> 00:25:32,760 every corner of our society is going to 662 00:25:37,669 --> 00:25:34,740 suddenly be grappling with this topic 663 00:25:39,649 --> 00:25:37,679 how could they not and 664 00:25:41,590 --> 00:25:39,659 it's really there's so many moving parts 665 00:25:44,750 --> 00:25:41,600 that it's very difficult to know exactly 666 00:25:46,070 --> 00:25:44,760 what the response will be and on top of 667 00:25:48,310 --> 00:25:46,080 that as I've mentioned before there's 668 00:25:51,250 --> 00:25:48,320 always the X Factor of let's not forget 669 00:25:53,750 --> 00:25:51,260 that the others are in the mix here 670 00:25:56,570 --> 00:25:53,760 standing by and watching as for the 671 00:25:58,549 --> 00:25:56,580 first time our civilization grapples 672 00:26:00,769 --> 00:25:58,559 with the notion that we are not alone 673 00:26:02,450 --> 00:26:00,779 and this is being mentioned from on a 674 00:26:05,590 --> 00:26:02,460 high from official circles not just 675 00:26:08,810 --> 00:26:05,600 Rumor Mill and and conspiracy theorizing 676 00:26:10,610 --> 00:26:08,820 so how will they respond and as I've 677 00:26:12,830 --> 00:26:10,620 been saying on recent podcasts and we've 678 00:26:14,930 --> 00:26:12,840 discussed many times on this show this 679 00:26:17,029 --> 00:26:14,940 is also happening You could argue in the 680 00:26:19,490 --> 00:26:17,039 midst of a perfect storm where our 681 00:26:21,409 --> 00:26:19,500 civilization is facing so many major 682 00:26:24,470 --> 00:26:21,419 major challenges like civilization 683 00:26:26,930 --> 00:26:24,480 ending type of challenges all of this is 684 00:26:28,549 --> 00:26:26,940 happening at the same time it almost 685 00:26:30,289 --> 00:26:28,559 feels like a movie that's packed full of 686 00:26:32,870 --> 00:26:30,299 too many plot details you know it's just 687 00:26:34,789 --> 00:26:32,880 it's so astonishing when you think about 688 00:26:37,370 --> 00:26:34,799 all this happening at the same time and 689 00:26:39,470 --> 00:26:37,380 I would suggest as I've said before that 690 00:26:41,390 --> 00:26:39,480 that is that is by design that the 691 00:26:42,409 --> 00:26:41,400 others increasing their interaction with 692 00:26:44,450 --> 00:26:42,419 us 693 00:26:46,310 --> 00:26:44,460 official circles feeling like now they 694 00:26:47,750 --> 00:26:46,320 have no choice but to respond in the 695 00:26:51,230 --> 00:26:47,760 midst of also these civilization 696 00:26:54,470 --> 00:26:51,240 challenging circumstances is all part of 697 00:26:57,409 --> 00:26:54,480 the same Enterprise I would suggest 698 00:26:59,510 --> 00:26:57,419 do you think we talked about grief do 699 00:27:02,390 --> 00:26:59,520 you think that there will be a good deal 700 00:27:05,210 --> 00:27:02,400 of anger as well I wonder if we can 701 00:27:07,970 --> 00:27:05,220 explore that emotion uh a little bit 702 00:27:09,890 --> 00:27:07,980 further I can only imagine that there 703 00:27:13,850 --> 00:27:09,900 will be those with with pointed 704 00:27:15,049 --> 00:27:13,860 questions at authorities about what they 705 00:27:23,090 --> 00:27:15,059 know 706 00:27:26,390 --> 00:27:23,100 how long has this been a secret Within 707 00:27:29,630 --> 00:27:26,400 you know certain circles uh because it 708 00:27:32,570 --> 00:27:29,640 would be pretty difficult to argue that 709 00:27:34,250 --> 00:27:32,580 that someone didn't know uh you know 710 00:27:37,730 --> 00:27:34,260 that that oh we all just sort of found 711 00:27:39,769 --> 00:27:37,740 out together in 2023 and you know nobody 712 00:27:42,890 --> 00:27:39,779 had really realized this before I think 713 00:27:46,190 --> 00:27:42,900 there's enough uh in the cultural 714 00:27:48,649 --> 00:27:46,200 Zeitgeist uh understanding of this topic 715 00:27:50,330 --> 00:27:48,659 even on the very surface level that the 716 00:27:53,830 --> 00:27:50,340 governments of the world or at least a 717 00:27:57,590 --> 00:27:53,840 government has kept some pretty uh 718 00:27:59,890 --> 00:27:57,600 Monumental Secrets uh what will be the 719 00:28:04,190 --> 00:27:59,900 repercussions of 720 00:28:07,669 --> 00:28:04,200 the intense level of attention on this 721 00:28:09,710 --> 00:28:07,679 topic to our leaders to our governmental 722 00:28:12,769 --> 00:28:09,720 leaders and and what kind of 723 00:28:17,029 --> 00:28:12,779 responsibility do they have in your view 724 00:28:18,950 --> 00:28:17,039 to offer a kind of uh a mea culpa even 725 00:28:21,110 --> 00:28:18,960 if they weren't necessarily the ones 726 00:28:23,930 --> 00:28:21,120 that said hey let's let's put it in the 727 00:28:26,810 --> 00:28:23,940 default and never open this again but 728 00:28:29,390 --> 00:28:26,820 they inherited those secrets from their 729 00:28:31,970 --> 00:28:29,400 legacy predecessors what responsibility 730 00:28:34,789 --> 00:28:31,980 they have to say you know we messed up 731 00:28:36,970 --> 00:28:34,799 here and uh at the time when this 732 00:28:41,090 --> 00:28:36,980 decision was made it made a lot of sense 733 00:28:42,890 --> 00:28:41,100 but uh as you know when you tell a lie 734 00:28:45,350 --> 00:28:42,900 as a kid you have to tell another lie 735 00:28:47,690 --> 00:28:45,360 and another lie until eventually it goes 736 00:28:49,610 --> 00:28:47,700 it grows so big that you cannot control 737 00:28:52,190 --> 00:28:49,620 it any longer and that's essentially 738 00:28:53,049 --> 00:28:52,200 where we are and you have to pay the 739 00:28:56,690 --> 00:28:53,059 price 740 00:28:58,850 --> 00:28:56,700 for that falsehood so what what do you 741 00:29:01,070 --> 00:28:58,860 see in terms of a social reaction there 742 00:29:03,289 --> 00:29:01,080 and and the way leadership May respond 743 00:29:04,789 --> 00:29:03,299 in the face of it 744 00:29:05,990 --> 00:29:04,799 it's a great question because if you 745 00:29:08,090 --> 00:29:06,000 think about it 746 00:29:09,830 --> 00:29:08,100 government's going to be asking the 747 00:29:13,310 --> 00:29:09,840 populace to trust us while we navigate 748 00:29:15,890 --> 00:29:13,320 these Waters while also admitting that 749 00:29:17,630 --> 00:29:15,900 there's been a 75 year at least lie 750 00:29:20,149 --> 00:29:17,640 being told 751 00:29:23,450 --> 00:29:20,159 a great deception being perpetrated so 752 00:29:25,669 --> 00:29:23,460 this is this is challenging in itself to 753 00:29:27,529 --> 00:29:25,679 say such a thing to the populace of 754 00:29:29,330 --> 00:29:27,539 course many people in ufology will feel 755 00:29:32,029 --> 00:29:29,340 finally vindication 756 00:29:35,090 --> 00:29:32,039 these things that we knew all along long 757 00:29:37,250 --> 00:29:35,100 suspected anyway were only 758 00:29:38,810 --> 00:29:37,260 superficially interested in studying 759 00:29:40,970 --> 00:29:38,820 this they're more interested in studying 760 00:29:42,409 --> 00:29:40,980 it internally while suppressing it 761 00:29:43,850 --> 00:29:42,419 externally 762 00:29:45,470 --> 00:29:43,860 because they were basically just trying 763 00:29:46,850 --> 00:29:45,480 to buy time they were trying to kick the 764 00:29:48,350 --> 00:29:46,860 can down the road hoping they could 765 00:29:50,269 --> 00:29:48,360 understand that 766 00:29:54,350 --> 00:29:50,279 so now that's one question I would ask 767 00:29:55,909 --> 00:29:54,360 people to really think about is why now 768 00:29:57,889 --> 00:29:55,919 there are many answers to that question 769 00:29:59,389 --> 00:29:57,899 I think but I would ask people to spend 770 00:30:02,149 --> 00:29:59,399 some time thinking about that maybe in 771 00:30:03,710 --> 00:30:02,159 the future we can unwrap that a bit 772 00:30:05,870 --> 00:30:03,720 but yeah this is this is going to be 773 00:30:08,930 --> 00:30:05,880 interesting because 774 00:30:10,490 --> 00:30:08,940 we already have such distrust in 775 00:30:12,830 --> 00:30:10,500 government right now 776 00:30:15,110 --> 00:30:12,840 in American society we've never been 777 00:30:16,850 --> 00:30:15,120 more divided since the Civil War many 778 00:30:19,610 --> 00:30:16,860 people think we're inevitably headed 779 00:30:21,649 --> 00:30:19,620 towards that kind of eventuality again 780 00:30:24,649 --> 00:30:21,659 and so in the midst of that you have 781 00:30:26,090 --> 00:30:24,659 this groundbreaking news coming out and 782 00:30:28,669 --> 00:30:26,100 I would also suggest or remind people 783 00:30:31,070 --> 00:30:28,679 that government is not one thing it is 784 00:30:32,690 --> 00:30:31,080 not a monolith even in the U.S here we 785 00:30:34,610 --> 00:30:32,700 have different branches of government by 786 00:30:36,110 --> 00:30:34,620 Design so you're going to have a little 787 00:30:37,789 --> 00:30:36,120 bit of posturing between the different 788 00:30:38,990 --> 00:30:37,799 branches of government in terms of how 789 00:30:41,289 --> 00:30:39,000 they're going to handle this you're not 790 00:30:43,750 --> 00:30:41,299 going to have a one-size-fits-all 791 00:30:45,769 --> 00:30:43,760 unanimous kind of Monolithic 792 00:30:46,850 --> 00:30:45,779 announcement from the different branches 793 00:30:47,810 --> 00:30:46,860 of government you're going to have the 794 00:30:51,649 --> 00:30:47,820 different branches of government 795 00:30:53,870 --> 00:30:51,659 actually posturing and posing questions 796 00:30:56,269 --> 00:30:53,880 to each other while this comes out as 797 00:30:57,230 --> 00:30:56,279 well so this is fascinating in itself 798 00:30:58,850 --> 00:30:57,240 and then you've got different 799 00:31:00,110 --> 00:30:58,860 governments we've got some governments 800 00:31:02,090 --> 00:31:00,120 in the world 801 00:31:04,310 --> 00:31:02,100 that have had crash retrieval programs 802 00:31:06,889 --> 00:31:04,320 that I'm aware of that were actually 803 00:31:09,350 --> 00:31:06,899 legal and they were on the books and was 804 00:31:12,590 --> 00:31:09,360 conducted according to you know the 805 00:31:14,870 --> 00:31:12,600 auspices of democracy others like in our 806 00:31:16,490 --> 00:31:14,880 country were not done legally from all 807 00:31:18,830 --> 00:31:16,500 intents and purposes it certainly seems 808 00:31:21,350 --> 00:31:18,840 like there was a loopholes and whatnot 809 00:31:23,090 --> 00:31:21,360 used to basically use taxpayer money 810 00:31:25,549 --> 00:31:23,100 while this was being investigated for 811 00:31:27,950 --> 00:31:25,559 decades and not being acknowledged not 812 00:31:30,889 --> 00:31:27,960 really having any oversight taking place 813 00:31:33,830 --> 00:31:30,899 so this is again all of that Revelation 814 00:31:35,810 --> 00:31:33,840 is happening right when we say 815 00:31:37,669 --> 00:31:35,820 while we're acknowledging that let's not 816 00:31:39,409 --> 00:31:37,679 forget the pink elephant in the room 817 00:31:41,269 --> 00:31:39,419 which is that there is another 818 00:31:45,289 --> 00:31:41,279 intelligence here and they've been here 819 00:31:47,510 --> 00:31:45,299 perhaps longer than we have they are so 820 00:31:49,130 --> 00:31:47,520 Advanced So Sophisticated that they can 821 00:31:51,169 --> 00:31:49,140 run circles around us to the point where 822 00:31:53,090 --> 00:31:51,179 we didn't even realize the vast majority 823 00:31:54,710 --> 00:31:53,100 of us that they've been here and they've 824 00:31:55,909 --> 00:31:54,720 been conducting Affairs and to some 825 00:31:58,310 --> 00:31:55,919 degree 826 00:32:00,289 --> 00:31:58,320 managing aspects of our civilization 827 00:32:02,570 --> 00:32:00,299 even potentially aspects of our 828 00:32:03,769 --> 00:32:02,580 governmental programs so these are the 829 00:32:05,990 --> 00:32:03,779 kinds of questions that are going to be 830 00:32:07,789 --> 00:32:06,000 surfacing for people and when you 831 00:32:10,250 --> 00:32:07,799 already have a huge parts of the 832 00:32:12,230 --> 00:32:10,260 population distrusting government 833 00:32:14,810 --> 00:32:12,240 then the last thing you could argue that 834 00:32:17,149 --> 00:32:14,820 our society needs on the one hand is 835 00:32:18,769 --> 00:32:17,159 just one more rug pulled out from under 836 00:32:20,029 --> 00:32:18,779 us in terms of trust of those 837 00:32:21,950 --> 00:32:20,039 institutions 838 00:32:23,930 --> 00:32:21,960 at the same time I think what's more 839 00:32:26,149 --> 00:32:23,940 important to highlight here is that 840 00:32:28,610 --> 00:32:26,159 again our civilization is on the brink 841 00:32:31,070 --> 00:32:28,620 we are closer to collapse I would 842 00:32:33,169 --> 00:32:31,080 suggest that many people realize 843 00:32:34,909 --> 00:32:33,179 the messages from these others is very 844 00:32:37,250 --> 00:32:34,919 much along those lines I want to make 845 00:32:40,310 --> 00:32:37,260 that point very clearly 846 00:32:42,889 --> 00:32:40,320 so we need a wake-up call in other words 847 00:32:47,289 --> 00:32:42,899 and this may be the very thing that we 848 00:32:50,570 --> 00:32:47,299 need to to consider really substantially 849 00:32:52,450 --> 00:32:50,580 sustainably rethinking the very way we 850 00:32:55,610 --> 00:32:52,460 conduct our Affairs as a civilization 851 00:32:56,570 --> 00:32:55,620 and perhaps as Ronald Reagan said back 852 00:32:59,029 --> 00:32:56,580 in the day 853 00:33:01,250 --> 00:32:59,039 perhaps being aware of an intelligence 854 00:33:02,990 --> 00:33:01,260 that's from Beyond the Earth 855 00:33:04,909 --> 00:33:03,000 might be the one thing that finally 856 00:33:06,950 --> 00:33:04,919 begins to unite us as a people and 857 00:33:09,769 --> 00:33:06,960 changes fundamentally the way we behave 858 00:33:12,049 --> 00:33:09,779 as a civilization 859 00:33:14,330 --> 00:33:12,059 right I would hope that it humbles us 860 00:33:18,430 --> 00:33:14,340 that 861 00:33:23,690 --> 00:33:21,169 earth-shattering news 862 00:33:25,730 --> 00:33:23,700 even if we might be feeling those 863 00:33:26,870 --> 00:33:25,740 intense you know feelings of grief or 864 00:33:29,930 --> 00:33:26,880 anger 865 00:33:32,630 --> 00:33:29,940 that we feel that sense of humility and 866 00:33:36,169 --> 00:33:32,640 wonder and lean into 867 00:33:39,250 --> 00:33:36,179 the the new space that is created 868 00:33:41,810 --> 00:33:39,260 in the wake of such an announcement 869 00:33:43,730 --> 00:33:41,820 because you you have a tremendous 870 00:33:45,710 --> 00:33:43,740 opportunity and I think I think our 871 00:33:48,230 --> 00:33:45,720 governments have a tremendous 872 00:33:50,870 --> 00:33:48,240 opportunity here as well even if they 873 00:33:52,730 --> 00:33:50,880 have a degree of culpability 874 00:33:54,409 --> 00:33:52,740 and keeping things secret 875 00:33:58,430 --> 00:33:54,419 they have an opportunity for 876 00:34:02,029 --> 00:33:58,440 transparency and uh and a level of a 877 00:34:04,149 --> 00:34:02,039 deeper intimacy with their population uh 878 00:34:07,850 --> 00:34:04,159 in the in the face of such an enormous 879 00:34:11,210 --> 00:34:07,860 truth that that a great deal of trust 880 00:34:14,389 --> 00:34:11,220 could be restored if if done well if 881 00:34:16,430 --> 00:34:14,399 done right uh you know you you you 882 00:34:19,250 --> 00:34:16,440 certainly wouldn't uh 883 00:34:21,470 --> 00:34:19,260 begrudge the the population though the 884 00:34:24,530 --> 00:34:21,480 populace to to have their doubts right 885 00:34:26,270 --> 00:34:24,540 as you said earlier you know you want us 886 00:34:28,849 --> 00:34:26,280 to trust you and you've not been telling 887 00:34:30,829 --> 00:34:28,859 us and up and forthright with us so what 888 00:34:34,310 --> 00:34:30,839 are you going to do now how are you 889 00:34:36,730 --> 00:34:34,320 going to demonstrate to us that you are 890 00:34:39,589 --> 00:34:36,740 proceeding in good faith that you are 891 00:34:43,550 --> 00:34:39,599 including us in the conversation that 892 00:34:46,129 --> 00:34:43,560 you've got a wide uh casting a wide net 893 00:34:48,050 --> 00:34:46,139 for folks to participate in 894 00:34:50,510 --> 00:34:48,060 understanding what this is because it 895 00:34:52,869 --> 00:34:50,520 really will require I think in a way 896 00:34:56,530 --> 00:34:52,879 that maybe hasn't been performed before 897 00:35:00,470 --> 00:34:56,540 almost a a very public Manhattan Project 898 00:35:03,230 --> 00:35:00,480 of of of people from a wide number of 899 00:35:05,930 --> 00:35:03,240 disciplines and experiences and walks of 900 00:35:07,790 --> 00:35:05,940 life and I think I I'm speaking for a 901 00:35:09,890 --> 00:35:07,800 second here on behalf of experiencers 902 00:35:12,470 --> 00:35:09,900 although I'm not one myself but those 903 00:35:14,690 --> 00:35:12,480 who've had Direct experience with this 904 00:35:17,630 --> 00:35:14,700 kind of intelligence who don't have a 905 00:35:20,390 --> 00:35:17,640 PhD or aren't the leader of a Fortune 906 00:35:23,210 --> 00:35:20,400 100 company or aren't an elected 907 00:35:26,150 --> 00:35:23,220 official they've had real tangible 908 00:35:29,510 --> 00:35:26,160 experience sometimes generationally with 909 00:35:31,970 --> 00:35:29,520 this intelligence and they deserve quite 910 00:35:35,329 --> 00:35:31,980 frankly exceeded those tables in those 911 00:35:38,390 --> 00:35:35,339 conversations so you know how do you see 912 00:35:41,089 --> 00:35:38,400 that taking place do you see that there 913 00:35:44,270 --> 00:35:41,099 might be an opportunity to include those 914 00:35:46,609 --> 00:35:44,280 voices and and if not immediately which 915 00:35:48,290 --> 00:35:46,619 I think may be the case because 916 00:35:50,750 --> 00:35:48,300 you first have to kind of let the horse 917 00:35:53,510 --> 00:35:50,760 leave the barn and then then you can go 918 00:35:55,190 --> 00:35:53,520 go for the ride right so uh how do you 919 00:35:57,349 --> 00:35:55,200 see it unfolding do you think that that 920 00:35:59,270 --> 00:35:57,359 will eventually occur if not in the 921 00:36:01,970 --> 00:35:59,280 immediacy of the announcement but later 922 00:36:04,130 --> 00:36:01,980 on experiencers being brought into that 923 00:36:06,410 --> 00:36:04,140 conversation 924 00:36:09,710 --> 00:36:06,420 it surely seems like now is the right 925 00:36:12,109 --> 00:36:09,720 time for that part of the the farce that 926 00:36:14,510 --> 00:36:12,119 this appears to be to people my friend 927 00:36:16,490 --> 00:36:14,520 Stuart Davis sort of threw up his hands 928 00:36:17,990 --> 00:36:16,500 a year ago and was just frustrated that 929 00:36:19,670 --> 00:36:18,000 we were still asking the same questions 930 00:36:21,710 --> 00:36:19,680 we've been asking for five years 10 931 00:36:23,089 --> 00:36:21,720 years 20 years talking about the craft 932 00:36:25,010 --> 00:36:23,099 in the sky 933 00:36:26,690 --> 00:36:25,020 kind of missing the more obvious 934 00:36:28,849 --> 00:36:26,700 question which is who are the beings 935 00:36:31,069 --> 00:36:28,859 operating the craft whether you know 936 00:36:32,870 --> 00:36:31,079 directly or remotely or whatever and 937 00:36:35,109 --> 00:36:32,880 it's not like that's a complete mystery 938 00:36:37,790 --> 00:36:35,119 we've had like you say experiencers 939 00:36:40,130 --> 00:36:37,800 encountering the beings themselves for 940 00:36:41,810 --> 00:36:40,140 decades and decades and decades and 941 00:36:44,930 --> 00:36:41,820 while there's a lot of high strangeness 942 00:36:46,910 --> 00:36:44,940 and Paradox in this phenomenon there's a 943 00:36:48,410 --> 00:36:46,920 remarkable consistency in the nature of 944 00:36:51,290 --> 00:36:48,420 the messages too 945 00:36:53,270 --> 00:36:51,300 so absolutely there is 946 00:36:54,890 --> 00:36:53,280 valuable information to be gathered 947 00:36:56,089 --> 00:36:54,900 there if you think about intelligent 948 00:36:57,829 --> 00:36:56,099 circles 949 00:36:59,390 --> 00:36:57,839 what they do when they go into foreign 950 00:37:02,270 --> 00:36:59,400 countries is they try to Foster 951 00:37:04,910 --> 00:37:02,280 relationships and gather information by 952 00:37:08,630 --> 00:37:04,920 building relationships that should 953 00:37:11,270 --> 00:37:08,640 happen here we should have a grand and 954 00:37:12,950 --> 00:37:11,280 deep and Broad intelligence operation 955 00:37:15,829 --> 00:37:12,960 that basically is going to try to 956 00:37:17,690 --> 00:37:15,839 understand what the messages are who 957 00:37:18,950 --> 00:37:17,700 these beings are what their intentions 958 00:37:21,170 --> 00:37:18,960 are 959 00:37:23,089 --> 00:37:21,180 again I would suggest that that's 960 00:37:25,730 --> 00:37:23,099 complex there are different factions 961 00:37:27,109 --> 00:37:25,740 different groups again I think that 962 00:37:28,849 --> 00:37:27,119 what you're going to see initially 963 00:37:30,349 --> 00:37:28,859 because I still see this happening on 964 00:37:32,390 --> 00:37:30,359 UFO Twitter so I'm sure it'll happen in 965 00:37:35,150 --> 00:37:32,400 the broader Society too which is kind of 966 00:37:37,130 --> 00:37:35,160 a conflation of all the messages and all 967 00:37:39,710 --> 00:37:37,140 the encounters over time to assume it's 968 00:37:41,569 --> 00:37:39,720 all one thing I think that's a mistake I 969 00:37:43,370 --> 00:37:41,579 think we have to be cautious and look 970 00:37:46,490 --> 00:37:43,380 for patterns in the data 971 00:37:48,230 --> 00:37:46,500 I think that even though some people 972 00:37:50,089 --> 00:37:48,240 would question some of the means by 973 00:37:52,550 --> 00:37:50,099 which some of the encounters have taken 974 00:37:53,690 --> 00:37:52,560 place some of the hybridization programs 975 00:37:55,730 --> 00:37:53,700 and whatnot 976 00:37:58,010 --> 00:37:55,740 that have been reported over time even 977 00:38:01,370 --> 00:37:58,020 the abduction experiences again I would 978 00:38:04,550 --> 00:38:01,380 really want to impress upon people here 979 00:38:07,069 --> 00:38:04,560 the notion that it is not as agency 980 00:38:09,470 --> 00:38:07,079 robbing as it appears now on a certain 981 00:38:11,690 --> 00:38:09,480 level it is no doubt and some people 982 00:38:14,510 --> 00:38:11,700 have even cried Stockholm syndrome that 983 00:38:16,849 --> 00:38:14,520 any people who Proclaim these beings to 984 00:38:18,890 --> 00:38:16,859 be good and well-meaning in the big 985 00:38:20,030 --> 00:38:18,900 picture how can they be when they when 986 00:38:22,910 --> 00:38:20,040 they abduct people from their homes 987 00:38:25,310 --> 00:38:22,920 against their will apparently 988 00:38:27,290 --> 00:38:25,320 fair point but again I think when you 989 00:38:29,329 --> 00:38:27,300 look closely at this and I have and I 990 00:38:31,490 --> 00:38:29,339 have friends and colleagues who've been 991 00:38:34,370 --> 00:38:31,500 involved in those introduction and 992 00:38:37,069 --> 00:38:34,380 experiences going back 30 years 993 00:38:38,810 --> 00:38:37,079 when you look closely it is not a slam 994 00:38:41,510 --> 00:38:38,820 dunk case of the Stockholm syndrome I 995 00:38:45,170 --> 00:38:41,520 think really there is over time this 996 00:38:48,710 --> 00:38:45,180 sense of a grander mission a sense of 997 00:38:51,170 --> 00:38:48,720 purpose in life a sense of this is about 998 00:38:53,390 --> 00:38:51,180 life itself moving forward and learning 999 00:38:55,670 --> 00:38:53,400 and US learning but also them as well 1000 00:38:58,010 --> 00:38:55,680 and that's even part of the the goals 1001 00:39:00,109 --> 00:38:58,020 with the hybridization program so some 1002 00:39:02,930 --> 00:39:00,119 people are going to become privy to 1003 00:39:03,950 --> 00:39:02,940 those kinds of aspects of the data I'm 1004 00:39:05,569 --> 00:39:03,960 talking about people who've never heard 1005 00:39:07,310 --> 00:39:05,579 about this before and be terrified 1006 00:39:09,349 --> 00:39:07,320 because of that right you're telling me 1007 00:39:10,190 --> 00:39:09,359 that beings can appear in my room in the 1008 00:39:12,109 --> 00:39:10,200 middle of the night it doesn't matter 1009 00:39:14,450 --> 00:39:12,119 how many padlocks I have in the door it 1010 00:39:16,430 --> 00:39:14,460 doesn't matter how many you know uh 1011 00:39:19,010 --> 00:39:16,440 rifles I have under my bed I can't do 1012 00:39:21,530 --> 00:39:19,020 anything and the answer is no you can't 1013 00:39:23,690 --> 00:39:21,540 and maybe it's time to get beyond that 1014 00:39:26,150 --> 00:39:23,700 kind of thinking this sort of ego 1015 00:39:27,650 --> 00:39:26,160 Transcendence is is important I know 1016 00:39:31,430 --> 00:39:27,660 some people are going to say I'm giving 1017 00:39:33,290 --> 00:39:31,440 too much power and to these others and 1018 00:39:35,390 --> 00:39:33,300 not being cautious enough I understand 1019 00:39:36,770 --> 00:39:35,400 that we can later get into the 1020 00:39:38,329 --> 00:39:36,780 developmental levels and how they look 1021 00:39:40,010 --> 00:39:38,339 at these things differently 1022 00:39:42,710 --> 00:39:40,020 but I'm just saying the data itself 1023 00:39:44,750 --> 00:39:42,720 suggests that that's the case that 1024 00:39:47,089 --> 00:39:44,760 people 1025 00:39:48,890 --> 00:39:47,099 largely come to this this sense of 1026 00:39:50,750 --> 00:39:48,900 understanding of at least be seeing it 1027 00:39:52,010 --> 00:39:50,760 as a neutral but often as a positive 1028 00:39:54,710 --> 00:39:52,020 experience 1029 00:39:56,510 --> 00:39:54,720 so I think we need to keep that in mind 1030 00:39:58,849 --> 00:39:56,520 and that needs to come front and center 1031 00:40:00,290 --> 00:39:58,859 we need to get Beyond just saying this 1032 00:40:02,630 --> 00:40:00,300 has involved abductions and 1033 00:40:04,250 --> 00:40:02,640 hybridization that sounds not good we 1034 00:40:07,609 --> 00:40:04,260 need to listen to experiences when they 1035 00:40:09,530 --> 00:40:07,619 say it's more complex than that my My 1036 00:40:10,910 --> 00:40:09,540 overall take is I'm glad this happened 1037 00:40:13,430 --> 00:40:10,920 in the big picture yes it was 1038 00:40:16,310 --> 00:40:13,440 traumatizing initially but it also sort 1039 00:40:18,109 --> 00:40:16,320 of shook me out of my stupor and to 1040 00:40:20,569 --> 00:40:18,119 quote Whitley Streeper here another 1041 00:40:22,310 --> 00:40:20,579 experiencer he talks about this being 1042 00:40:24,730 --> 00:40:22,320 all those things shocking and 1043 00:40:27,109 --> 00:40:24,740 traumatizing initially but also 1044 00:40:28,670 --> 00:40:27,119 affording us the greatest potential for 1045 00:40:30,890 --> 00:40:28,680 Spiritual transformation in the history 1046 00:40:33,770 --> 00:40:30,900 of our civilization and again I just 1047 00:40:36,170 --> 00:40:33,780 want to remind people we need that we do 1048 00:40:37,550 --> 00:40:36,180 not have another 30 years to carry on 1049 00:40:39,770 --> 00:40:37,560 the way we are now that's what I would 1050 00:40:42,290 --> 00:40:39,780 suggest again I think that comes back to 1051 00:40:45,530 --> 00:40:42,300 why this is all happening now 1052 00:40:47,089 --> 00:40:45,540 but absolutely my goal is to help 1053 00:40:48,829 --> 00:40:47,099 experiences be part of that conversation 1054 00:40:50,690 --> 00:40:48,839 I know with the John Mack Institute we 1055 00:40:53,569 --> 00:40:50,700 want to do that we want to engage with 1056 00:40:55,910 --> 00:40:53,579 scientists and academics and media but 1057 00:40:58,089 --> 00:40:55,920 we very much expect and plan to have 1058 00:41:00,829 --> 00:40:58,099 experiencers at that table because 1059 00:41:03,170 --> 00:41:00,839 that's essential to really begin to make 1060 00:41:04,730 --> 00:41:03,180 sense of this whole thing 1061 00:41:07,190 --> 00:41:04,740 well I wondered if we could spend a 1062 00:41:09,950 --> 00:41:07,200 little more time going through the 1063 00:41:11,930 --> 00:41:09,960 developmental levels and the different 1064 00:41:14,329 --> 00:41:11,940 kinds of responses that people may have 1065 00:41:16,790 --> 00:41:14,339 based on the level that they may find 1066 00:41:18,190 --> 00:41:16,800 themselves in uh and I think it's 1067 00:41:20,990 --> 00:41:18,200 important to remind 1068 00:41:23,690 --> 00:41:21,000 ourselves that the world is full of of 1069 00:41:27,170 --> 00:41:23,700 humans that are in all different walks 1070 00:41:29,569 --> 00:41:27,180 of life that there are humans who are 1071 00:41:32,630 --> 00:41:29,579 still living in uh you know third world 1072 00:41:35,089 --> 00:41:32,640 environments or uh you know that don't 1073 00:41:36,770 --> 00:41:35,099 have the kind of luxuries that we have 1074 00:41:39,349 --> 00:41:36,780 in the west 1075 00:41:41,150 --> 00:41:39,359 um and even in you know no matter where 1076 00:41:43,550 --> 00:41:41,160 they live there are different humans who 1077 00:41:46,430 --> 00:41:43,560 have different uh perspectives on 1078 00:41:49,069 --> 00:41:46,440 uh you know kind of the the metaphysical 1079 00:41:51,890 --> 00:41:49,079 reality of of the world you know and how 1080 00:41:55,310 --> 00:41:51,900 how things work and so you and I both 1081 00:41:57,349 --> 00:41:55,320 know that where you find yourself uh the 1082 00:41:59,089 --> 00:41:57,359 context in which you find uh that you 1083 00:42:03,710 --> 00:41:59,099 make sense of the world that dictates 1084 00:42:05,810 --> 00:42:03,720 your response to information and uh when 1085 00:42:08,569 --> 00:42:05,820 you're when you're presented with 1086 00:42:10,790 --> 00:42:08,579 information that does not fit into that 1087 00:42:13,430 --> 00:42:10,800 model of the world that helps you make 1088 00:42:17,030 --> 00:42:13,440 sense of things well then cracks begin 1089 00:42:19,190 --> 00:42:17,040 to form the model begins to break and 1090 00:42:21,109 --> 00:42:19,200 and ultimately transform and I think the 1091 00:42:24,589 --> 00:42:21,119 the concern that I would have of course 1092 00:42:28,730 --> 00:42:24,599 is is how severe is the breakage uh can 1093 00:42:32,030 --> 00:42:28,740 we uh navigate that transformation in a 1094 00:42:34,370 --> 00:42:32,040 way that is uh safe and healthy for not 1095 00:42:38,030 --> 00:42:34,380 only the individual but also for the 1096 00:42:38,750 --> 00:42:38,040 society uh and so you know what do you 1097 00:42:41,690 --> 00:42:38,760 think 1098 00:42:44,510 --> 00:42:41,700 Not only would be you know sort of 1099 00:42:46,490 --> 00:42:44,520 helpful recommendations uh to to be 1100 00:42:49,069 --> 00:42:46,500 thinking about for folks that are going 1101 00:42:50,990 --> 00:42:49,079 to be processing this 1102 00:42:53,329 --> 00:42:51,000 um but but what might be some of the 1103 00:42:56,510 --> 00:42:53,339 reactions based on some of the varying 1104 00:42:59,750 --> 00:42:56,520 developmental levels that we we see in 1105 00:43:01,849 --> 00:42:59,760 human symbolization today 1106 00:43:03,470 --> 00:43:01,859 yeah that is the the six million dollar 1107 00:43:04,849 --> 00:43:03,480 question 1108 00:43:06,410 --> 00:43:04,859 because 1109 00:43:08,270 --> 00:43:06,420 as I've said before and as we've 1110 00:43:10,069 --> 00:43:08,280 discussed on this podcast 1111 00:43:13,609 --> 00:43:10,079 many people keep asking this question 1112 00:43:15,490 --> 00:43:13,619 what will the human response be to this 1113 00:43:17,690 --> 00:43:15,500 Revelation what will the 1114 00:43:19,670 --> 00:43:17,700 civilization-wide response be to this 1115 00:43:22,250 --> 00:43:19,680 Revelation these series of Revelations 1116 00:43:24,410 --> 00:43:22,260 and really there is no such thing as one 1117 00:43:25,490 --> 00:43:24,420 response as you say there are many 1118 00:43:27,589 --> 00:43:25,500 different 1119 00:43:29,089 --> 00:43:27,599 types of people around the world in very 1120 00:43:30,589 --> 00:43:29,099 different conditions living under very 1121 00:43:32,870 --> 00:43:30,599 different conditions 1122 00:43:34,670 --> 00:43:32,880 that's part of what's the problem that 1123 00:43:35,809 --> 00:43:34,680 we need to begin to work towards a 1124 00:43:38,390 --> 00:43:35,819 solution 1125 00:43:39,710 --> 00:43:38,400 but even within one country you have 1126 00:43:41,990 --> 00:43:39,720 different World Views I've discussed 1127 00:43:44,569 --> 00:43:42,000 before how even in the United States you 1128 00:43:47,030 --> 00:43:44,579 have three very different World Views 1129 00:43:49,490 --> 00:43:47,040 coexisting and it fundamentally changes 1130 00:43:51,109 --> 00:43:49,500 the way that people look at reality at 1131 00:43:52,790 --> 00:43:51,119 themselves at others at the way 1132 00:43:53,750 --> 00:43:52,800 government should should work all those 1133 00:43:56,089 --> 00:43:53,760 things 1134 00:43:57,530 --> 00:43:56,099 are are changed because of these World 1135 00:43:59,270 --> 00:43:57,540 Views so 1136 00:44:01,730 --> 00:43:59,280 you have to realize you can read the 1137 00:44:04,069 --> 00:44:01,740 same Public Relation statement 1138 00:44:05,809 --> 00:44:04,079 but how people are going to hear it is 1139 00:44:07,790 --> 00:44:05,819 very different based not only just on 1140 00:44:09,770 --> 00:44:07,800 their personal history but also on their 1141 00:44:12,650 --> 00:44:09,780 level of development 1142 00:44:13,670 --> 00:44:12,660 this this is key and interestingly even 1143 00:44:15,730 --> 00:44:13,680 when you look at the abduction 1144 00:44:19,069 --> 00:44:15,740 literature and the contact literature 1145 00:44:21,349 --> 00:44:19,079 people's responses at least initially in 1146 00:44:23,630 --> 00:44:21,359 terms of their interpretation of the 1147 00:44:24,770 --> 00:44:23,640 events really did differ depending on 1148 00:44:27,589 --> 00:44:24,780 their level of Developmental 1149 00:44:30,349 --> 00:44:27,599 Consciousness so we can also expect that 1150 00:44:32,089 --> 00:44:30,359 will happen on a civilization-wide level 1151 00:44:35,450 --> 00:44:32,099 as well 1152 00:44:38,329 --> 00:44:35,460 some people just look at the unknown 1153 00:44:40,010 --> 00:44:38,339 as a fearful thing some people just have 1154 00:44:41,450 --> 00:44:40,020 a default response to anything that 1155 00:44:43,630 --> 00:44:41,460 comes here that I don't know what it is 1156 00:44:46,730 --> 00:44:43,640 it's not already part of my 1157 00:44:49,069 --> 00:44:46,740 understanding and familiarity that's 1158 00:44:50,930 --> 00:44:49,079 that's already something that could be 1159 00:44:52,430 --> 00:44:50,940 dangerous for me they see it as a threat 1160 00:44:54,829 --> 00:44:52,440 right away 1161 00:44:56,809 --> 00:44:54,839 not only in terms of we've discussed 1162 00:44:58,069 --> 00:44:56,819 before how military establishments kind 1163 00:45:00,109 --> 00:44:58,079 of that becomes part of the default 1164 00:45:01,730 --> 00:45:00,119 culture right anything you can't can't 1165 00:45:04,730 --> 00:45:01,740 understand you don't know you see as a 1166 00:45:06,950 --> 00:45:04,740 Potential Threat right but even 1167 00:45:10,130 --> 00:45:06,960 people in certain worldview perspectives 1168 00:45:13,250 --> 00:45:10,140 will also see it that way I have a very 1169 00:45:15,170 --> 00:45:13,260 clear defined delineated understanding 1170 00:45:17,210 --> 00:45:15,180 of what there is in reality and when I'm 1171 00:45:19,490 --> 00:45:17,220 suddenly presented with something that 1172 00:45:22,010 --> 00:45:19,500 does not fit that I'll either try to 1173 00:45:23,329 --> 00:45:22,020 force it into like a square peg into a 1174 00:45:27,050 --> 00:45:23,339 round hole something that doesn't really 1175 00:45:28,790 --> 00:45:27,060 fit I'll uh Angels and Demons perhaps or 1176 00:45:31,490 --> 00:45:28,800 I will 1177 00:45:34,010 --> 00:45:31,500 have a kind of existential crisis 1178 00:45:36,770 --> 00:45:34,020 because this thing does not fit within 1179 00:45:39,530 --> 00:45:36,780 any aspect of my previous model and then 1180 00:45:41,329 --> 00:45:39,540 you have full-on ontological shock and 1181 00:45:42,230 --> 00:45:41,339 existential crisis happening at the same 1182 00:45:43,609 --> 00:45:42,240 time 1183 00:45:45,109 --> 00:45:43,619 and you're even going to get people as 1184 00:45:46,550 --> 00:45:45,119 I've discussed before 1185 00:45:49,370 --> 00:45:46,560 from different World Views and different 1186 00:45:51,589 --> 00:45:49,380 developmental levels then 1187 00:45:54,349 --> 00:45:51,599 becoming acrimonious towards each other 1188 00:45:55,910 --> 00:45:54,359 how can you possibly see these beings as 1189 00:45:57,829 --> 00:45:55,920 good they're demons they're here to 1190 00:45:59,089 --> 00:45:57,839 deceive you and if that's the 1191 00:46:01,670 --> 00:45:59,099 perspective you're going to take then 1192 00:46:03,290 --> 00:46:01,680 you're a messenger of the enemy and we 1193 00:46:05,930 --> 00:46:03,300 go to war with you because of this right 1194 00:46:08,030 --> 00:46:05,940 these are the kind of things that's not 1195 00:46:10,730 --> 00:46:08,040 way out there fiction this is the kind 1196 00:46:13,069 --> 00:46:10,740 of posturing I think we will see because 1197 00:46:14,329 --> 00:46:13,079 no matter how nicely you try to paint it 1198 00:46:16,190 --> 00:46:14,339 and not no matter how much you try to 1199 00:46:17,809 --> 00:46:16,200 get ahead of the narrative some people 1200 00:46:19,849 --> 00:46:17,819 are going to try to force us into those 1201 00:46:21,950 --> 00:46:19,859 default narratives as soon as they hear 1202 00:46:25,490 --> 00:46:21,960 these Revelations 1203 00:46:28,849 --> 00:46:25,500 yeah I want to be hopeful that 1204 00:46:32,750 --> 00:46:28,859 it's going to be a catalyst for really 1205 00:46:34,730 --> 00:46:32,760 positive change but I as you as you were 1206 00:46:39,710 --> 00:46:34,740 just talking there I'm reminded of how 1207 00:46:43,609 --> 00:46:39,720 reactionary we can be and to me at least 1208 00:46:47,150 --> 00:46:43,619 the the most successful outcome we could 1209 00:46:50,450 --> 00:46:47,160 have here would be a response from these 1210 00:46:52,670 --> 00:46:50,460 others themselves uh that as our 1211 00:46:56,170 --> 00:46:52,680 societal awareness becomes more 1212 00:46:59,690 --> 00:46:56,180 prevalent that they become more knowable 1213 00:47:04,130 --> 00:46:59,700 because without their uh 1214 00:47:06,349 --> 00:47:04,140 you know voice at the table so to speak 1215 00:47:09,290 --> 00:47:06,359 um we really are kind of having this 1216 00:47:11,990 --> 00:47:09,300 conversation in a bit of a vacuum 1217 00:47:14,450 --> 00:47:12,000 um and and we may need that you know 1218 00:47:18,530 --> 00:47:14,460 voice to serve as kind of a hall monitor 1219 00:47:19,370 --> 00:47:18,540 or uh you know to quiet the room 1220 00:47:21,890 --> 00:47:19,380 um 1221 00:47:24,170 --> 00:47:21,900 and so it will be interesting to see 1222 00:47:25,970 --> 00:47:24,180 what whether that takes place and it 1223 00:47:27,349 --> 00:47:25,980 will be interesting as well if it does 1224 00:47:29,510 --> 00:47:27,359 not 1225 00:47:32,690 --> 00:47:29,520 um because that speaks something to me 1226 00:47:34,069 --> 00:47:32,700 uh just as loudly as if if it were to 1227 00:47:35,450 --> 00:47:34,079 take place 1228 00:47:37,910 --> 00:47:35,460 um and I wonder I know you did talk 1229 00:47:40,609 --> 00:47:37,920 about this earlier in this episode but 1230 00:47:44,870 --> 00:47:40,619 you know the the so the whole notion of 1231 00:47:48,770 --> 00:47:44,880 why now and and what might be the uh 1232 00:47:53,510 --> 00:47:48,780 collection of converging factors that 1233 00:47:56,089 --> 00:47:53,520 are driving this moment in in time 1234 00:47:59,210 --> 00:47:56,099 um it may be something that is 1235 00:48:01,849 --> 00:47:59,220 unavoidable uh that 1236 00:48:04,430 --> 00:48:01,859 now is the time and there is no other 1237 00:48:07,849 --> 00:48:04,440 time it must be now for a variety of 1238 00:48:10,010 --> 00:48:07,859 reasons not just that the government may 1239 00:48:13,910 --> 00:48:10,020 have their hand forced 1240 00:48:17,150 --> 00:48:13,920 um but it is the right time for the 1241 00:48:20,930 --> 00:48:19,430 yeah it's again one of the 10 million 1242 00:48:23,809 --> 00:48:20,940 dollar questions I keep up in the ante 1243 00:48:24,650 --> 00:48:23,819 in terms of how expensive is 1244 00:48:26,390 --> 00:48:24,660 um 1245 00:48:28,309 --> 00:48:26,400 because 1246 00:48:30,050 --> 00:48:28,319 I think that's a really important 1247 00:48:31,069 --> 00:48:30,060 question to ask and for the people 1248 00:48:33,290 --> 00:48:31,079 who've 1249 00:48:34,490 --> 00:48:33,300 been at this longer than we have you 1250 00:48:36,410 --> 00:48:34,500 know even at the 1251 00:48:39,170 --> 00:48:36,420 rice conference I ran into people who've 1252 00:48:40,670 --> 00:48:39,180 been at this for decades and have been 1253 00:48:42,410 --> 00:48:40,680 so 1254 00:48:45,349 --> 00:48:42,420 conditioned into believing there will 1255 00:48:46,670 --> 00:48:45,359 never be disclosure day that even now 1256 00:48:48,410 --> 00:48:46,680 they can't see the writing on the wall 1257 00:48:50,870 --> 00:48:48,420 when it's very clear that something is 1258 00:48:55,609 --> 00:48:50,880 is imminent something is really shifting 1259 00:48:59,329 --> 00:48:57,230 . yeah a really interesting question is 1260 00:49:01,130 --> 00:48:59,339 is why now 1261 00:49:03,530 --> 00:49:01,140 and if it is 1262 00:49:05,630 --> 00:49:03,540 to some degree because the others are 1263 00:49:09,650 --> 00:49:05,640 forcing the hand or saying now is the 1264 00:49:11,870 --> 00:49:09,660 time then that in itself points to the 1265 00:49:14,510 --> 00:49:11,880 power situation here right the power 1266 00:49:16,730 --> 00:49:14,520 dynamics the sense that 1267 00:49:19,910 --> 00:49:16,740 seemingly these others whenever they 1268 00:49:25,010 --> 00:49:19,920 want to can force the hand which of 1269 00:49:27,349 --> 00:49:25,020 course also raises the notion that 1270 00:49:30,410 --> 00:49:27,359 has the lack of disclosure up until now 1271 00:49:32,569 --> 00:49:30,420 been partly at the hands of these others 1272 00:49:33,710 --> 00:49:32,579 and I would suggest it has been I think 1273 00:49:41,270 --> 00:49:33,720 that 1274 00:49:43,490 --> 00:49:41,280 doesn't happen without the others having 1275 00:49:45,170 --> 00:49:43,500 a say in that so I want people to think 1276 00:49:47,390 --> 00:49:45,180 along and hard about that because the 1277 00:49:50,150 --> 00:49:47,400 fact that it's happening now would not 1278 00:49:51,589 --> 00:49:50,160 be happening unless the others again I'm 1279 00:49:54,410 --> 00:49:51,599 not trying to make it one monolithic 1280 00:49:55,849 --> 00:49:54,420 thing but a certain group of the others 1281 00:49:56,990 --> 00:49:55,859 that have been very active in our 1282 00:49:59,210 --> 00:49:57,000 civilization 1283 00:50:01,970 --> 00:49:59,220 and have even You could argue 1284 00:50:03,230 --> 00:50:01,980 infiltrated and influenced at best let's 1285 00:50:05,690 --> 00:50:03,240 use that word 1286 00:50:08,210 --> 00:50:05,700 elements of our military 1287 00:50:11,150 --> 00:50:08,220 they they've had a say in this 1288 00:50:12,650 --> 00:50:11,160 and I think when people ask why have 1289 00:50:14,809 --> 00:50:12,660 they not landed on the White House lawn 1290 00:50:16,910 --> 00:50:14,819 why have they not made some sort of 1291 00:50:18,170 --> 00:50:16,920 Public Announcement themselves and to 1292 00:50:21,349 --> 00:50:18,180 some people that looks immediately 1293 00:50:23,870 --> 00:50:21,359 suspicious and speaks to nefarious 1294 00:50:26,930 --> 00:50:23,880 intentions I would really caution people 1295 00:50:28,609 --> 00:50:26,940 to not go there I think that partly what 1296 00:50:30,730 --> 00:50:28,619 this involves is an intelligence that's 1297 00:50:33,050 --> 00:50:30,740 very different than us that 1298 00:50:35,210 --> 00:50:33,060 responds very differently that acts very 1299 00:50:36,770 --> 00:50:35,220 differently that thinks much more 1300 00:50:40,250 --> 00:50:36,780 quickly I'm saying this partly from 1301 00:50:41,870 --> 00:50:40,260 personal experience that the kind of 1302 00:50:43,609 --> 00:50:41,880 information that's provided is sometimes 1303 00:50:46,309 --> 00:50:43,619 extremely overwhelming because it's 1304 00:50:49,309 --> 00:50:46,319 multi-dimensional and 1305 00:50:53,690 --> 00:50:49,319 um just so loud because there's there's 1306 00:50:55,790 --> 00:50:53,700 so many uh Dimensions to it and it's 1307 00:50:58,549 --> 00:50:55,800 I want to remind people that we're 1308 00:51:00,349 --> 00:50:58,559 talking about a different intelligence 1309 00:51:04,370 --> 00:51:00,359 one that's been around for a lot longer 1310 00:51:06,710 --> 00:51:04,380 than we have been and therefore simple 1311 00:51:09,290 --> 00:51:06,720 conversations are not quite what you 1312 00:51:11,569 --> 00:51:09,300 might think they are and so up until now 1313 00:51:14,030 --> 00:51:11,579 they've used intermediaries to to 1314 00:51:16,730 --> 00:51:14,040 communicate with our civilization 1315 00:51:19,010 --> 00:51:16,740 and even experiencers who've dealt with 1316 00:51:20,990 --> 00:51:19,020 them directly have this sense of it 1317 00:51:22,549 --> 00:51:21,000 being very very overwhelming 1318 00:51:24,770 --> 00:51:22,559 and part of what you're trying to 1319 00:51:26,690 --> 00:51:24,780 wrestle with in terms of are they good 1320 00:51:28,910 --> 00:51:26,700 are they bad do they mean as well what 1321 00:51:30,890 --> 00:51:28,920 is their ultimate intention is so 1322 00:51:32,329 --> 00:51:30,900 difficult to initially to work through 1323 00:51:35,210 --> 00:51:32,339 because there's so much information 1324 00:51:37,790 --> 00:51:35,220 coming and also frankly because 1325 00:51:39,890 --> 00:51:37,800 sometimes we act like the frightened 1326 00:51:42,349 --> 00:51:39,900 animals I would suggest that people 1327 00:51:43,730 --> 00:51:42,359 imagine that you want to I had a friend 1328 00:51:45,890 --> 00:51:43,740 who actually described it this way and I 1329 00:51:48,410 --> 00:51:45,900 think it's a good analogy imagine that 1330 00:51:51,349 --> 00:51:48,420 you have a wolf you have an intelligence 1331 00:51:54,049 --> 00:51:51,359 that's trying to befriend the wolf and 1332 00:51:56,630 --> 00:51:54,059 help model the wolf and help lead the 1333 00:51:58,609 --> 00:51:56,640 wolf towards greater insight 1334 00:52:01,790 --> 00:51:58,619 but we know that wolves by definition 1335 00:52:03,109 --> 00:52:01,800 are not trusting they're suspicious they 1336 00:52:05,270 --> 00:52:03,119 wonder about are you a threat to the 1337 00:52:07,309 --> 00:52:05,280 pack all those kind of things they will 1338 00:52:09,290 --> 00:52:07,319 see anything that doesn't fit their 1339 00:52:11,150 --> 00:52:09,300 language internal language and culture 1340 00:52:13,490 --> 00:52:11,160 as 1341 00:52:17,390 --> 00:52:13,500 potentially threatening 1342 00:52:20,210 --> 00:52:17,400 to their existence now we are the wolves 1343 00:52:23,150 --> 00:52:20,220 the others are the are the intelligence 1344 00:52:25,190 --> 00:52:23,160 trying to align with ultimately the 1345 00:52:26,930 --> 00:52:25,200 Wolves I would suggest to us here which 1346 00:52:28,670 --> 00:52:26,940 is not to say that all of them are good 1347 00:52:30,829 --> 00:52:28,680 in every single faction every single 1348 00:52:32,809 --> 00:52:30,839 element of otherness is always good I'm 1349 00:52:34,370 --> 00:52:32,819 not saying that but I do think partly 1350 00:52:37,130 --> 00:52:34,380 what this comes down to is we actually 1351 00:52:39,470 --> 00:52:37,140 are much more like The Primitives or the 1352 00:52:41,809 --> 00:52:39,480 Wolves the the wolf pack that in 1353 00:52:44,049 --> 00:52:41,819 inevitably looks at things as as 1354 00:52:46,970 --> 00:52:44,059 suspicious and potentially dangerous 1355 00:52:48,650 --> 00:52:46,980 that we don't understand and we do 1356 00:52:51,109 --> 00:52:48,660 respond with fight or flight that's our 1357 00:52:52,670 --> 00:52:51,119 evolutionary impulse almost every 1358 00:52:55,130 --> 00:52:52,680 experiencer will tell you that that was 1359 00:52:56,329 --> 00:52:55,140 their initial response because when 1360 00:52:57,770 --> 00:52:56,339 selling something that you don't 1361 00:53:00,470 --> 00:52:57,780 understand is at the foot of your bed 1362 00:53:02,390 --> 00:53:00,480 for instance you initially go this can't 1363 00:53:04,549 --> 00:53:02,400 be good and you don't even have that 1364 00:53:06,530 --> 00:53:04,559 that much of a rational conversation you 1365 00:53:08,990 --> 00:53:06,540 don't even get there right you just your 1366 00:53:10,370 --> 00:53:09,000 autonomic responses go insane you have 1367 00:53:12,710 --> 00:53:10,380 adrenaline flushing through your body 1368 00:53:14,870 --> 00:53:12,720 because you're suddenly confronted with 1369 00:53:17,990 --> 00:53:14,880 this thing that should not be 1370 00:53:20,690 --> 00:53:18,000 to put a great Metallica song The Way 1371 00:53:23,450 --> 00:53:20,700 um so so these are these are things to 1372 00:53:25,790 --> 00:53:23,460 think about that this is not 1373 00:53:28,370 --> 00:53:25,800 Independence Day right this was not us 1374 00:53:30,530 --> 00:53:28,380 going to war with the aliens this is 1375 00:53:33,710 --> 00:53:30,540 also not I can try to think of another 1376 00:53:36,109 --> 00:53:33,720 example Star Trek or something where 1377 00:53:37,730 --> 00:53:36,119 and Enterprise lands and these Klingons 1378 00:53:38,690 --> 00:53:37,740 get off and they communicate with us and 1379 00:53:40,130 --> 00:53:38,700 they're kind of a little rougher on the 1380 00:53:41,930 --> 00:53:40,140 edges but mostly we have no problem 1381 00:53:44,210 --> 00:53:41,940 communicating it's much more complex 1382 00:53:46,970 --> 00:53:44,220 than that as well so 1383 00:53:48,349 --> 00:53:46,980 these are the questions that now were on 1384 00:53:51,230 --> 00:53:48,359 the cusp of asking though this is the 1385 00:53:53,809 --> 00:53:51,240 part even as I say this I'm I'm just 1386 00:53:56,390 --> 00:53:53,819 struck by how civilization changing this 1387 00:53:58,250 --> 00:53:56,400 is because suddenly the conversation is 1388 00:53:59,870 --> 00:53:58,260 not about is there something up in this 1389 00:54:01,190 --> 00:53:59,880 guy that we don't understand are those 1390 00:54:03,890 --> 00:54:01,200 objects are they intelligently 1391 00:54:06,170 --> 00:54:03,900 controlled yes to all the above now the 1392 00:54:07,549 --> 00:54:06,180 question is who are these others what 1393 00:54:10,849 --> 00:54:07,559 are they here for 1394 00:54:12,650 --> 00:54:10,859 how do we respond how do we move forward 1395 00:54:13,910 --> 00:54:12,660 with that fundamentally changed 1396 00:54:15,130 --> 00:54:13,920 understanding of the nature of our 1397 00:54:17,930 --> 00:54:15,140 reality 1398 00:54:19,849 --> 00:54:17,940 well we don't even know the questions to 1399 00:54:23,510 --> 00:54:19,859 ask right when you're dealing with 1400 00:54:26,030 --> 00:54:23,520 something that is this foreign to uh the 1401 00:54:30,950 --> 00:54:26,040 way we look at the world uh in in in 1402 00:54:33,109 --> 00:54:30,960 almost every respect uh we don't even 1403 00:54:34,849 --> 00:54:33,119 we can't begin to know which which are 1404 00:54:38,470 --> 00:54:34,859 the right questions to ask and I think 1405 00:54:41,210 --> 00:54:38,480 it is important that we 1406 00:54:44,809 --> 00:54:41,220 certainly bring our academic disciplines 1407 00:54:47,290 --> 00:54:44,819 to bear on trying to understand this but 1408 00:54:51,770 --> 00:54:47,300 as you and I have talked about before 1409 00:54:54,530 --> 00:54:51,780 Academia also has to come to a place of 1410 00:54:58,010 --> 00:54:54,540 change and radical transformation so 1411 00:54:59,569 --> 00:54:58,020 that they can be in a position to to 1412 00:55:02,089 --> 00:54:59,579 better understand this in other words 1413 00:55:04,849 --> 00:55:02,099 the traditional means of academic 1414 00:55:07,309 --> 00:55:04,859 inquiry aren't going to be sufficient 1415 00:55:09,109 --> 00:55:07,319 because they've clearly missed this the 1416 00:55:12,349 --> 00:55:09,119 entire time there's been a tremendous 1417 00:55:15,710 --> 00:55:12,359 blind spot uh in in our academic study 1418 00:55:16,910 --> 00:55:15,720 thus far so not you know you can 1419 00:55:19,549 --> 00:55:16,920 understand that there will be new 1420 00:55:22,370 --> 00:55:19,559 disciplines emerging that will be 1421 00:55:26,089 --> 00:55:22,380 looking at every facet of whatever this 1422 00:55:30,049 --> 00:55:26,099 may be but there will be areas of those 1423 00:55:33,710 --> 00:55:30,059 inquiry which will require entirely new 1424 00:55:36,710 --> 00:55:33,720 ways of thinking uh and be willing to 1425 00:55:38,690 --> 00:55:36,720 look at the Paradigm that they were 1426 00:55:40,910 --> 00:55:38,700 trained under and say what is it about 1427 00:55:43,970 --> 00:55:40,920 this that isn't 1428 00:55:46,190 --> 00:55:43,980 fully operable in a way that helps us to 1429 00:55:48,290 --> 00:55:46,200 understand this thing that has been 1430 00:55:51,829 --> 00:55:48,300 right under our noses this entire time 1431 00:55:54,230 --> 00:55:51,839 to quote uh Robert Bigelow it's been 1432 00:55:57,410 --> 00:55:54,240 right there the entire time and somehow 1433 00:56:00,109 --> 00:55:57,420 we have missed it and so it really could 1434 00:56:03,770 --> 00:56:00,119 lead to I'm again hopeful I'm an 1435 00:56:07,490 --> 00:56:03,780 optimist a tremendous Renaissance 1436 00:56:10,130 --> 00:56:07,500 uh for uh you know humanity and so many 1437 00:56:12,230 --> 00:56:10,140 different facets but I I can't help but 1438 00:56:14,809 --> 00:56:12,240 think that there will be some some very 1439 00:56:16,910 --> 00:56:14,819 real Growing Pains here 1440 00:56:20,390 --> 00:56:16,920 um and and do we have enough time you 1441 00:56:24,650 --> 00:56:20,400 know can we get our act together uh fast 1442 00:56:27,650 --> 00:56:24,660 enough uh to to respond to this in a way 1443 00:56:30,650 --> 00:56:27,660 that uh that gets through the I think 1444 00:56:34,309 --> 00:56:30,660 the knee-jerk initial shock uh and 1445 00:56:36,650 --> 00:56:34,319 probably some degree of violence uh that 1446 00:56:40,190 --> 00:56:36,660 you might expect can we get past that 1447 00:56:42,950 --> 00:56:40,200 and then into that new future where the 1448 00:56:46,190 --> 00:56:42,960 possibility space is tremendously Broad 1449 00:56:48,530 --> 00:56:46,200 and amazing we have a lot of problems 1450 00:56:50,870 --> 00:56:48,540 that need solving 1451 00:56:51,710 --> 00:56:50,880 um climate uh certainly being one of 1452 00:56:54,109 --> 00:56:51,720 them 1453 00:56:57,650 --> 00:56:54,119 you know but we have tremendous 1454 00:57:00,650 --> 00:56:57,660 inequality in the world uh we have uh of 1455 00:57:02,390 --> 00:57:00,660 course Health being a huge issue as well 1456 00:57:06,290 --> 00:57:02,400 you can only imagine how many 1457 00:57:08,569 --> 00:57:06,300 individuals will be lining up to say you 1458 00:57:12,530 --> 00:57:08,579 know what can they teach us about how to 1459 00:57:15,890 --> 00:57:12,540 heal XYZ conditions uh you know what 1460 00:57:18,290 --> 00:57:15,900 about uh you know Interstellar travel 1461 00:57:22,250 --> 00:57:18,300 all these questions that will be brought 1462 00:57:23,870 --> 00:57:22,260 to bear uh you know almost take a number 1463 00:57:26,630 --> 00:57:23,880 and it's going to take forever to get 1464 00:57:28,490 --> 00:57:26,640 through all of this uh you know line of 1465 00:57:30,410 --> 00:57:28,500 inquiry and do we have the time for that 1466 00:57:34,010 --> 00:57:30,420 I I don't know 1467 00:57:35,750 --> 00:57:34,020 um how does it change uh the way that we 1468 00:57:37,910 --> 00:57:35,760 relate to 1469 00:57:39,770 --> 00:57:37,920 uh our children you know knowing that 1470 00:57:42,950 --> 00:57:39,780 we've got our children growing up in a 1471 00:57:47,150 --> 00:57:42,960 world like this and uh what what future 1472 00:57:48,650 --> 00:57:47,160 is there for them in this uh new reality 1473 00:57:50,750 --> 00:57:48,660 it certainly doesn't look like what it 1474 00:57:53,210 --> 00:57:50,760 looks like today 1475 00:57:56,690 --> 00:57:53,220 um and how do we navigate that 1476 00:58:00,950 --> 00:57:56,700 um so many questions merge really when 1477 00:58:02,750 --> 00:58:00,960 you introduce this new Factor uh and 1478 00:58:04,670 --> 00:58:02,760 even questions about our human history 1479 00:58:06,290 --> 00:58:04,680 right so if this intelligence has been 1480 00:58:09,470 --> 00:58:06,300 around as you and I have talked about 1481 00:58:11,809 --> 00:58:09,480 before for so long uh what questions 1482 00:58:14,930 --> 00:58:11,819 might we ask it about who we are and 1483 00:58:18,890 --> 00:58:14,940 where we came from and what our role and 1484 00:58:20,750 --> 00:58:18,900 connection is to them uh talk about 1485 00:58:22,970 --> 00:58:20,760 rewriting the history books I mean you 1486 00:58:25,010 --> 00:58:22,980 might as well throw them away because 1487 00:58:28,010 --> 00:58:25,020 they will be entirely different in the 1488 00:58:31,549 --> 00:58:28,020 wake of such an announcement 1489 00:58:33,710 --> 00:58:31,559 indeed in each each of the bullet points 1490 00:58:35,210 --> 00:58:33,720 you discussed there could be an entire 1491 00:58:37,370 --> 00:58:35,220 episode on its own 1492 00:58:38,450 --> 00:58:37,380 there are so many rabbit holes that 1493 00:58:40,609 --> 00:58:38,460 emerge 1494 00:58:42,410 --> 00:58:40,619 to chase down when you think about these 1495 00:58:44,690 --> 00:58:42,420 implications 1496 00:58:46,370 --> 00:58:44,700 one thing I would say in terms of your 1497 00:58:47,930 --> 00:58:46,380 sense of wanting to be hopeful wanting 1498 00:58:51,170 --> 00:58:47,940 to be optimistic 1499 00:58:54,410 --> 00:58:51,180 I think undoubtedly this revelation will 1500 00:58:57,049 --> 00:58:54,420 be better than not having it because the 1501 00:58:59,690 --> 00:58:57,059 fact that the trajectory we're on is not 1502 00:59:05,569 --> 00:58:59,700 sustainable and we seem to be just not 1503 00:59:09,710 --> 00:59:07,430 even when 1504 00:59:12,109 --> 00:59:09,720 every day we're confronted with data 1505 00:59:13,190 --> 00:59:12,119 that suggests that the biosphere is in 1506 00:59:16,370 --> 00:59:13,200 trouble 1507 00:59:18,589 --> 00:59:16,380 we just bury our heads in the sand and 1508 00:59:21,470 --> 00:59:18,599 hope that it goes away I'm reminded of 1509 00:59:23,450 --> 00:59:21,480 when I was 20 years old and I drove a 1510 00:59:25,490 --> 00:59:23,460 Volkswagen around when I started making 1511 00:59:27,530 --> 00:59:25,500 a sound I just tried to ignore it I just 1512 00:59:29,210 --> 00:59:27,540 hope that it would like just go away 1513 00:59:31,970 --> 00:59:29,220 turns out that never worked that well 1514 00:59:33,410 --> 00:59:31,980 for me it didn't happen that way it just 1515 00:59:34,910 --> 00:59:33,420 actually got worse and sometimes I'd 1516 00:59:36,289 --> 00:59:34,920 find out after the fact you know if you 1517 00:59:37,849 --> 00:59:36,299 would have dealt with this a month ago 1518 00:59:39,289 --> 00:59:37,859 it would have been fine but now now 1519 00:59:40,849 --> 00:59:39,299 you've you know you've cracked the 1520 00:59:43,309 --> 00:59:40,859 transmission or something and so now you 1521 00:59:45,349 --> 00:59:43,319 have to replace the whole engine 1522 00:59:47,089 --> 00:59:45,359 that's kind of the equivalent to what 1523 00:59:48,650 --> 00:59:47,099 we're experiencing as a civilization we 1524 00:59:50,870 --> 00:59:48,660 keep getting these warning signs we've 1525 00:59:53,030 --> 00:59:50,880 got scientists trying to shove from the 1526 00:59:54,770 --> 00:59:53,040 rooftops waving their arms you know the 1527 00:59:56,809 --> 00:59:54,780 data is not good 1528 00:59:59,870 --> 00:59:56,819 all of our for instance models around 1529 01:00:02,950 --> 00:59:59,880 climate change every time a model is is 1530 01:00:05,450 --> 01:00:02,960 put forward we seem to eclipse the model 1531 01:00:07,970 --> 01:00:05,460 sooner and in more drastic ways than we 1532 01:00:10,670 --> 01:00:07,980 were expecting 1533 01:00:11,990 --> 01:00:10,680 again I mentioned last time I think that 1534 01:00:13,910 --> 01:00:12,000 you know there was a recent announcement 1535 01:00:16,130 --> 01:00:13,920 how ocean temperatures were higher now 1536 01:00:17,569 --> 01:00:16,140 than they've ever been on record 1537 01:00:19,789 --> 01:00:17,579 now I want to say a couple things to the 1538 01:00:21,470 --> 01:00:19,799 Skeptics here because I understand that 1539 01:00:24,470 --> 01:00:21,480 historically we sometimes make mistakes 1540 01:00:25,970 --> 01:00:24,480 we sometimes get things wrong when you 1541 01:00:27,530 --> 01:00:25,980 and I were in high school I remember 1542 01:00:29,150 --> 01:00:27,540 there being discussion about the 1543 01:00:32,990 --> 01:00:29,160 possibility of a new Ice Age at some 1544 01:00:35,630 --> 01:00:33,000 point and was that ever wrong right or 1545 01:00:37,309 --> 01:00:35,640 the sense that population explosion 1546 01:00:39,490 --> 01:00:37,319 would eventually be our demise whereas 1547 01:00:41,510 --> 01:00:39,500 now we see in the first world anyway 1548 01:00:43,309 --> 01:00:41,520 actually we're not even at replacement 1549 01:00:45,890 --> 01:00:43,319 levels that eventually basically when 1550 01:00:47,750 --> 01:00:45,900 you have health care and basic needs 1551 01:00:49,370 --> 01:00:47,760 being met people voluntarily choose to 1552 01:00:50,930 --> 01:00:49,380 have fewer children and we have every 1553 01:00:52,970 --> 01:00:50,940 expectation that if we could raise 1554 01:00:55,430 --> 01:00:52,980 living standards around the world that 1555 01:00:59,089 --> 01:00:55,440 that problem would take care of itself 1556 01:01:02,150 --> 01:00:59,099 but we should not be fooled by a couple 1557 01:01:05,210 --> 01:01:02,160 examples of where the scare mongering 1558 01:01:08,030 --> 01:01:05,220 turned out to be false because that sets 1559 01:01:10,190 --> 01:01:08,040 you up for a massive shock to the system 1560 01:01:11,690 --> 01:01:10,200 when you realize well it turns out all 1561 01:01:13,490 --> 01:01:11,700 these warning signs were just that 1562 01:01:15,410 --> 01:01:13,500 warning signs red flags that we did not 1563 01:01:16,490 --> 01:01:15,420 pay attention to to the part where it's 1564 01:01:17,809 --> 01:01:16,500 too late 1565 01:01:19,309 --> 01:01:17,819 so 1566 01:01:20,870 --> 01:01:19,319 and we didn't even discuss all the 1567 01:01:24,530 --> 01:01:20,880 possibilities we've we've talked before 1568 01:01:28,130 --> 01:01:24,540 about AI again because of our 1569 01:01:30,230 --> 01:01:28,140 our market-based capitalistic system we 1570 01:01:31,730 --> 01:01:30,240 don't have the kind of tribal mentality 1571 01:01:35,030 --> 01:01:31,740 where we sit around a campfire 1572 01:01:36,770 --> 01:01:35,040 collectively use that as a metaphor and 1573 01:01:38,750 --> 01:01:36,780 talk about what's in the best interest 1574 01:01:41,870 --> 01:01:38,760 of the tribe we don't do that 1575 01:01:44,390 --> 01:01:41,880 the market-driven capitalist me first 1576 01:01:47,089 --> 01:01:44,400 greed driven system says you'll get 1577 01:01:49,430 --> 01:01:47,099 different groups will chase down how to 1578 01:01:52,910 --> 01:01:49,440 have the most advanced AI 1579 01:01:55,130 --> 01:01:52,920 because first a market gives you massive 1580 01:01:56,710 --> 01:01:55,140 advantages here more than any other kind 1581 01:01:59,770 --> 01:01:56,720 of technological innovation in history 1582 01:02:01,670 --> 01:01:59,780 so we are not giving any kind of 1583 01:02:04,130 --> 01:02:01,680 society-wide consideration to the 1584 01:02:08,390 --> 01:02:04,140 implications of AI 1585 01:02:10,010 --> 01:02:08,400 not good you've also got things like bio 1586 01:02:11,510 --> 01:02:10,020 weapons we just went through a pandemic 1587 01:02:13,130 --> 01:02:11,520 there's many many questions about even 1588 01:02:14,450 --> 01:02:13,140 the nature and the origin and the 1589 01:02:17,270 --> 01:02:14,460 ultimate 1590 01:02:19,250 --> 01:02:17,280 perhaps nefarious aspects of that 1591 01:02:20,990 --> 01:02:19,260 pandemic that shows you how little trust 1592 01:02:23,030 --> 01:02:21,000 there is in this system and the way we 1593 01:02:26,390 --> 01:02:23,040 gather information and how censorship 1594 01:02:28,370 --> 01:02:26,400 happens some very valid concerns 1595 01:02:32,270 --> 01:02:28,380 so again all of this points to the fact 1596 01:02:34,130 --> 01:02:32,280 that we are in Dire Straits we need 1597 01:02:36,230 --> 01:02:34,140 something we need a shock to the system 1598 01:02:37,609 --> 01:02:36,240 we need the equivalent of the paddles on 1599 01:02:39,650 --> 01:02:37,619 the person who's had the heart attack to 1600 01:02:41,210 --> 01:02:39,660 bring them back to life we were like the 1601 01:02:42,410 --> 01:02:41,220 dying patient who doesn't even realize 1602 01:02:46,730 --> 01:02:42,420 he's dying 1603 01:02:48,650 --> 01:02:46,740 so that sounds pretty drastic but I 1604 01:02:51,289 --> 01:02:48,660 really think that's where we're at and 1605 01:02:53,089 --> 01:02:51,299 again the messages from the others 1606 01:02:55,789 --> 01:02:53,099 consistently has been the case that was 1607 01:02:58,970 --> 01:02:55,799 the messages back in the 90s when John 1608 01:03:00,710 --> 01:02:58,980 Mack was interviewing and speaking with 1609 01:03:02,690 --> 01:03:00,720 and interacting with these experiences 1610 01:03:04,849 --> 01:03:02,700 that were having these experiences 1611 01:03:06,349 --> 01:03:04,859 things are much worse now than they were 1612 01:03:08,750 --> 01:03:06,359 then and already then it looked pretty 1613 01:03:10,609 --> 01:03:08,760 dire so again I would suggest to people 1614 01:03:13,010 --> 01:03:10,619 that all of this this Brewing perfect 1615 01:03:14,690 --> 01:03:13,020 storm is for a reason and if ever 1616 01:03:16,549 --> 01:03:14,700 there's a time to wake up it's now 1617 01:03:19,370 --> 01:03:16,559 because we don't have that many more 1618 01:03:21,410 --> 01:03:19,380 opportunities to do so this may be our 1619 01:03:24,109 --> 01:03:21,420 last opportunity to do so 1620 01:03:26,210 --> 01:03:24,119 and again to speak into your thing about 1621 01:03:28,010 --> 01:03:26,220 optimism I think we should be optimistic 1622 01:03:29,569 --> 01:03:28,020 because we know something must change 1623 01:03:31,670 --> 01:03:29,579 and if there's anything that's going to 1624 01:03:33,410 --> 01:03:31,680 give us the impetus to change perhaps 1625 01:03:36,530 --> 01:03:33,420 this is it 1626 01:03:39,170 --> 01:03:36,540 I I'm yeah I am optimistic and I think 1627 01:03:42,049 --> 01:03:39,180 that uh in part because the people that 1628 01:03:44,630 --> 01:03:42,059 I talk to and of course I'm I'm the 1629 01:03:46,789 --> 01:03:44,640 small sample size here right so it who 1630 01:03:48,770 --> 01:03:46,799 knows how indicative it is of of the 1631 01:03:52,010 --> 01:03:48,780 larger population but I have this 1632 01:03:54,770 --> 01:03:52,020 feeling this intuition that that most 1633 01:03:56,750 --> 01:03:54,780 people of the world recognize that that 1634 01:03:59,030 --> 01:03:56,760 the way the world is we're operating 1635 01:04:02,450 --> 01:03:59,040 right now is not sustainable it's not 1636 01:04:06,410 --> 01:04:02,460 going to work the problem is that we we 1637 01:04:09,470 --> 01:04:06,420 are all in a way held captive to it uh 1638 01:04:12,890 --> 01:04:09,480 we find ourselves just to be you know a 1639 01:04:14,870 --> 01:04:12,900 bit player in this larger uh drama and 1640 01:04:17,450 --> 01:04:14,880 we're looking at the script or watching 1641 01:04:19,010 --> 01:04:17,460 the main uh you know actors kind of move 1642 01:04:20,870 --> 01:04:19,020 the plot forward and we're going I don't 1643 01:04:22,490 --> 01:04:20,880 know that I want to be if this plot 1644 01:04:24,650 --> 01:04:22,500 keeps going I think I'm gonna be one of 1645 01:04:27,650 --> 01:04:24,660 those characters that gets killed off in 1646 01:04:30,190 --> 01:04:27,660 this in this movie uh and so you know I 1647 01:04:34,130 --> 01:04:30,200 think in some respects we would welcome 1648 01:04:36,650 --> 01:04:34,140 this type of tectonic shift and we do 1649 01:04:38,450 --> 01:04:36,660 kind of joke about it even at times uh 1650 01:04:39,890 --> 01:04:38,460 you know oh it's what are you going to 1651 01:04:41,390 --> 01:04:39,900 tell me now that there are aliens you 1652 01:04:42,710 --> 01:04:41,400 know thank goodness you know I'm glad 1653 01:04:45,049 --> 01:04:42,720 that I'm glad they're finally here maybe 1654 01:04:46,970 --> 01:04:45,059 they can sort this out because you know 1655 01:04:49,490 --> 01:04:46,980 the system that that we find ourselves 1656 01:04:52,690 --> 01:04:49,500 in just feels like it's a total mess and 1657 01:04:55,549 --> 01:04:52,700 we feel powerless our individual agency 1658 01:04:58,089 --> 01:04:55,559 at that little small level in our 1659 01:05:01,670 --> 01:04:58,099 societies it doesn't feel strong enough 1660 01:05:03,470 --> 01:05:01,680 to move the needle uh and perhaps this 1661 01:05:06,049 --> 01:05:03,480 will 1662 01:05:09,890 --> 01:05:06,059 um or at least it'll it'll Galvanize us 1663 01:05:12,490 --> 01:05:09,900 to exercise our Collective will uh to to 1664 01:05:15,589 --> 01:05:12,500 move Society in in a better Direction 1665 01:05:18,950 --> 01:05:15,599 but there's so much work to be done I I 1666 01:05:21,710 --> 01:05:18,960 don't even know uh 1667 01:05:24,170 --> 01:05:21,720 where we would begin right I would hope 1668 01:05:26,390 --> 01:05:24,180 that we could begin by solving some of 1669 01:05:28,910 --> 01:05:26,400 the the big challenges that we have but 1670 01:05:31,609 --> 01:05:28,920 uh Chief among them would be putting 1671 01:05:34,250 --> 01:05:31,619 down these weapons that could annihilate 1672 01:05:37,549 --> 01:05:34,260 us all uh that we could stop killing 1673 01:05:39,470 --> 01:05:37,559 each other literally uh killing you know 1674 01:05:42,829 --> 01:05:39,480 those of us who are in the same species 1675 01:05:46,849 --> 01:05:42,839 uh on the planet every day in the name 1676 01:05:49,250 --> 01:05:46,859 of you know some crazy ideology you know 1677 01:05:52,370 --> 01:05:49,260 it just doesn't make sense can we can we 1678 01:05:55,490 --> 01:05:52,380 wake up from that kind of uh irrational 1679 01:05:57,770 --> 01:05:55,500 type of behavior I don't know 1680 01:05:59,930 --> 01:05:57,780 um and then I'm also you know curious 1681 01:06:04,069 --> 01:05:59,940 what your take is as we've talked about 1682 01:06:05,870 --> 01:06:04,079 this before on the degree to which there 1683 01:06:07,370 --> 01:06:05,880 might be some others that don't want 1684 01:06:11,270 --> 01:06:07,380 this to happen 1685 01:06:14,089 --> 01:06:11,280 um you know and certainly uh we're 1686 01:06:16,130 --> 01:06:14,099 full-on and speculation land here we'll 1687 01:06:19,309 --> 01:06:16,140 readily admit that 1688 01:06:22,069 --> 01:06:19,319 um but we we know that not every 1689 01:06:24,109 --> 01:06:22,079 non-human intelligence uh you know 1690 01:06:26,990 --> 01:06:24,119 certainly has the the best interest of 1691 01:06:29,029 --> 01:06:27,000 humanity at heart uh and I doubt that 1692 01:06:31,549 --> 01:06:29,039 they're going to say well okay I guess 1693 01:06:32,450 --> 01:06:31,559 we we gave it a good go and we're just 1694 01:06:35,329 --> 01:06:32,460 not gonna 1695 01:06:38,089 --> 01:06:35,339 push back any longer and we know that 1696 01:06:40,190 --> 01:06:38,099 they've persuaded of course some in the 1697 01:06:41,990 --> 01:06:40,200 Human family to to sort of see things 1698 01:06:44,210 --> 01:06:42,000 from their perspective as well or 1699 01:06:46,609 --> 01:06:44,220 Bargains may have been made between 1700 01:06:48,890 --> 01:06:46,619 certain human groups and these other 1701 01:06:51,710 --> 01:06:48,900 groups that don't want this kind of 1702 01:06:54,470 --> 01:06:51,720 disclosure to take place 1703 01:06:57,470 --> 01:06:54,480 um so it doesn't seem like it's going to 1704 01:06:59,630 --> 01:06:57,480 be perfect or Smooth by any means do you 1705 01:07:02,089 --> 01:06:59,640 see some friction there potentially in 1706 01:07:04,670 --> 01:07:02,099 in the others themselves and how this 1707 01:07:06,289 --> 01:07:04,680 might proceed 1708 01:07:07,789 --> 01:07:06,299 yeah that's a fascinating question and 1709 01:07:10,069 --> 01:07:07,799 again that's the elephant in the room 1710 01:07:12,109 --> 01:07:10,079 that people sometimes forget to 1711 01:07:13,609 --> 01:07:12,119 think about 1712 01:07:15,710 --> 01:07:13,619 I think one thing I would lean on here 1713 01:07:18,109 --> 01:07:15,720 is this sense as I've said before on 1714 01:07:20,650 --> 01:07:18,119 this podcast and on point of convergence 1715 01:07:22,670 --> 01:07:20,660 that my sense again according to 1716 01:07:25,010 --> 01:07:22,680 developmental levels 1717 01:07:27,950 --> 01:07:25,020 and how that rolls out and again I want 1718 01:07:29,930 --> 01:07:27,960 to remind people here that 1719 01:07:32,270 --> 01:07:29,940 not only 1720 01:07:34,069 --> 01:07:32,280 from an idealistic perspective and from 1721 01:07:36,109 --> 01:07:34,079 the teachings of 1722 01:07:38,630 --> 01:07:36,119 our most ancient spiritual Traditions 1723 01:07:41,210 --> 01:07:38,640 speaking about us all having a common 1724 01:07:43,309 --> 01:07:41,220 source not just us but potentially every 1725 01:07:45,170 --> 01:07:43,319 sentient being in the universe 1726 01:07:47,089 --> 01:07:45,180 not only is that I think actually 1727 01:07:49,309 --> 01:07:47,099 indicative of underlying reality and we 1728 01:07:51,410 --> 01:07:49,319 should keep that in mind here I think 1729 01:07:52,910 --> 01:07:51,420 ultimately there's exactly one 1730 01:07:54,589 --> 01:07:52,920 Consciousness in the universe and we're 1731 01:07:56,270 --> 01:07:54,599 like different fractal impressions of 1732 01:07:58,670 --> 01:07:56,280 that different facets of a diamond if 1733 01:08:00,650 --> 01:07:58,680 you will including them including us 1734 01:08:02,870 --> 01:08:00,660 but in addition to that 1735 01:08:05,150 --> 01:08:02,880 there is a lot of evidence that they are 1736 01:08:08,630 --> 01:08:05,160 somehow even more directly connected to 1737 01:08:12,109 --> 01:08:08,640 us than that that there's a DNA Link 1738 01:08:14,329 --> 01:08:12,119 Between Us and Them many of them anyway 1739 01:08:17,150 --> 01:08:14,339 we've talked before about why do we keep 1740 01:08:18,289 --> 01:08:17,160 seeing this dominant humanoid shape that 1741 01:08:20,390 --> 01:08:18,299 looks like 1742 01:08:21,829 --> 01:08:20,400 different versions of beings that 1743 01:08:23,870 --> 01:08:21,839 already exist on the Earth 1744 01:08:26,090 --> 01:08:23,880 that raises questions about time travel 1745 01:08:27,890 --> 01:08:26,100 are these extra Tempest rules as Mike 1746 01:08:29,930 --> 01:08:27,900 Masters would suggest 1747 01:08:31,910 --> 01:08:29,940 is time and fall but perhaps in a way 1748 01:08:34,610 --> 01:08:31,920 that eclipses our current way of being 1749 01:08:37,550 --> 01:08:34,620 able to think about it these are all 1750 01:08:40,010 --> 01:08:37,560 matters on the table right now physics 1751 01:08:42,470 --> 01:08:40,020 is really wondering what is time what is 1752 01:08:44,090 --> 01:08:42,480 space time these are these are questions 1753 01:08:46,430 --> 01:08:44,100 that are debated and there's different 1754 01:08:48,169 --> 01:08:46,440 perspectives and this phenomenon gives 1755 01:08:50,150 --> 01:08:48,179 us a chance to have more data to think 1756 01:08:53,209 --> 01:08:50,160 about that 1757 01:08:55,430 --> 01:08:53,219 but I think in the midst of all that yes 1758 01:08:57,829 --> 01:08:55,440 it's it's important to think about how 1759 01:09:00,349 --> 01:08:57,839 these different others might jockey for 1760 01:09:02,630 --> 01:09:00,359 position in the midst of this change in 1761 01:09:04,189 --> 01:09:02,640 our civilization's understanding but 1762 01:09:05,809 --> 01:09:04,199 what I lean on here as well is not just 1763 01:09:07,249 --> 01:09:05,819 that we are connected to them in some 1764 01:09:08,630 --> 01:09:07,259 way which alone doesn't guarantee 1765 01:09:10,490 --> 01:09:08,640 anything because we go to war with each 1766 01:09:11,689 --> 01:09:10,500 other all the time even though we you 1767 01:09:13,550 --> 01:09:11,699 know all have the same ancestors 1768 01:09:16,309 --> 01:09:13,560 ultimately 1769 01:09:18,349 --> 01:09:16,319 but I think my understanding is that 1770 01:09:19,849 --> 01:09:18,359 because of Developmental Consciousness 1771 01:09:21,530 --> 01:09:19,859 and how that rolls out in spiral 1772 01:09:24,950 --> 01:09:21,540 Dynamics and whatnot 1773 01:09:27,590 --> 01:09:24,960 the ones that are at the most 1774 01:09:28,849 --> 01:09:27,600 high levels the ones that are the most 1775 01:09:31,010 --> 01:09:28,859 ascendant in terms of their 1776 01:09:32,990 --> 01:09:31,020 understanding not just of technology and 1777 01:09:35,150 --> 01:09:33,000 reality but of consciousness of 1778 01:09:36,470 --> 01:09:35,160 fundamental Consciousness we've talked 1779 01:09:38,510 --> 01:09:36,480 many times about 1780 01:09:40,550 --> 01:09:38,520 Consciousness seemingly being the the 1781 01:09:43,430 --> 01:09:40,560 substrate of all that is so they have a 1782 01:09:46,189 --> 01:09:43,440 they have a very intimate grasp of that 1783 01:09:48,650 --> 01:09:46,199 and a broad grasp of that and because of 1784 01:09:51,410 --> 01:09:48,660 that they see us as the kind of 1785 01:09:52,970 --> 01:09:51,420 kindergarten class and when the sixth 1786 01:09:54,709 --> 01:09:52,980 graders want to beat up on the 1787 01:09:55,970 --> 01:09:54,719 kindergarten class you know the 12th 1788 01:09:57,530 --> 01:09:55,980 graders have something to say about that 1789 01:09:59,330 --> 01:09:57,540 they tend to step in 1790 01:10:01,729 --> 01:09:59,340 so again I think the fact that we have 1791 01:10:05,030 --> 01:10:01,739 not seen our civilization our planet 1792 01:10:06,590 --> 01:10:05,040 overrun by a malevolent alien species 1793 01:10:08,990 --> 01:10:06,600 already speaks to the fact there's some 1794 01:10:10,850 --> 01:10:09,000 kind of shielding around our planet that 1795 01:10:13,310 --> 01:10:10,860 there is this sense of let's Let The 1796 01:10:15,169 --> 01:10:13,320 Kindergartners figure out their business 1797 01:10:17,570 --> 01:10:15,179 and eventually introduce them to the 1798 01:10:19,850 --> 01:10:17,580 larger Cosmic Community I think that's 1799 01:10:22,010 --> 01:10:19,860 partly what's in play here 1800 01:10:23,510 --> 01:10:22,020 and these were interesting questions 1801 01:10:25,790 --> 01:10:23,520 though and this will be part of the 1802 01:10:27,830 --> 01:10:25,800 dynamic so people will say to you 1803 01:10:29,450 --> 01:10:27,840 wait a second not only are there aliens 1804 01:10:31,370 --> 01:10:29,460 but there's different factions of aliens 1805 01:10:33,229 --> 01:10:31,380 and different origin sources how how do 1806 01:10:34,729 --> 01:10:33,239 I make sense of this you're telling me 1807 01:10:36,950 --> 01:10:34,739 that some of them might be beyond space 1808 01:10:38,510 --> 01:10:36,960 time some of them may be more energetic 1809 01:10:40,490 --> 01:10:38,520 in nature what does that mean does that 1810 01:10:41,810 --> 01:10:40,500 mean demons does this mean angels I was 1811 01:10:43,669 --> 01:10:41,820 not taught about this I don't remember 1812 01:10:45,830 --> 01:10:43,679 having this elective offered to me in 1813 01:10:47,630 --> 01:10:45,840 high school right these are the kinds of 1814 01:10:49,189 --> 01:10:47,640 questions that are on the table and 1815 01:10:50,870 --> 01:10:49,199 again it just really 1816 01:10:52,729 --> 01:10:50,880 is mind-boggling when you think about 1817 01:10:55,149 --> 01:10:52,739 the nature of the conversations that are 1818 01:10:58,550 --> 01:10:55,159 coming sooner than later 1819 01:11:02,870 --> 01:10:58,560 right what you said there makes me think 1820 01:11:06,350 --> 01:11:02,880 about the way uh understanding might be 1821 01:11:09,970 --> 01:11:06,360 gated in this unfolding because there is 1822 01:11:12,590 --> 01:11:09,980 a sense in which there are 1823 01:11:14,810 --> 01:11:12,600 uh and we we have touched on this to 1824 01:11:17,510 --> 01:11:14,820 some degree there are acceptable Notions 1825 01:11:20,750 --> 01:11:17,520 of non-human intelligence or acceptable 1826 01:11:22,669 --> 01:11:20,760 uh ways in which it it it it it can 1827 01:11:25,130 --> 01:11:22,679 behave or or the ways it may have 1828 01:11:27,970 --> 01:11:25,140 interacted with with us and and then 1829 01:11:31,729 --> 01:11:27,980 there are uh there are further sort of 1830 01:11:33,110 --> 01:11:31,739 rings outside of that ring that if 1831 01:11:35,510 --> 01:11:33,120 you've been in this topic long enough 1832 01:11:37,070 --> 01:11:35,520 you you know what that territory looks 1833 01:11:38,870 --> 01:11:37,080 like but I don't think we're going to be 1834 01:11:40,310 --> 01:11:38,880 able to get to the outer ring 1835 01:11:43,010 --> 01:11:40,320 immediately we're going to have to go 1836 01:11:46,130 --> 01:11:43,020 through this sort of process of 1837 01:11:49,070 --> 01:11:46,140 assessment and discernment and 1838 01:11:51,950 --> 01:11:49,080 acceptance in a way that that there are 1839 01:11:55,910 --> 01:11:51,960 these sort of wider possibilities that 1840 01:11:56,570 --> 01:11:55,920 we may initially be willing to entertain 1841 01:11:58,130 --> 01:11:56,580 um 1842 01:12:01,850 --> 01:11:58,140 I don't know that we're going to be able 1843 01:12:05,649 --> 01:12:01,860 to jump to interdimensional or uh you 1844 01:12:09,470 --> 01:12:05,659 know extraterrestrial or in a sort of uh 1845 01:12:12,610 --> 01:12:09,480 ascendant uh light beings you know on on 1846 01:12:15,290 --> 01:12:12,620 day one you know with this kind of uh uh 1847 01:12:17,870 --> 01:12:15,300 revelatory knowledge so you know how do 1848 01:12:22,250 --> 01:12:17,880 you see that transpiring do you think 1849 01:12:25,430 --> 01:12:22,260 that it's going to uh be a kind of an 1850 01:12:28,729 --> 01:12:25,440 organic process of discovery that it 1851 01:12:31,189 --> 01:12:28,739 will it will be uh you know will it will 1852 01:12:33,350 --> 01:12:31,199 it unfold over several you know years 1853 01:12:35,750 --> 01:12:33,360 perhaps I mean how long will it take us 1854 01:12:38,330 --> 01:12:35,760 to really kind of get our arms around 1855 01:12:40,669 --> 01:12:38,340 the true nature of the situation to the 1856 01:12:43,970 --> 01:12:40,679 extent that we even can really fully 1857 01:12:46,550 --> 01:12:43,980 grasp the uh the great complexity of of 1858 01:12:48,530 --> 01:12:46,560 the entire picture there 1859 01:12:49,970 --> 01:12:48,540 yeah great questions and I think it is 1860 01:12:51,890 --> 01:12:49,980 important for us 1861 01:12:54,290 --> 01:12:51,900 familiar with this topic to remember 1862 01:12:57,229 --> 01:12:54,300 that we didn't get here overnight that 1863 01:13:00,470 --> 01:12:57,239 we may have very nuanced sophisticated 1864 01:13:02,930 --> 01:13:00,480 Notions of it now or able to 1865 01:13:05,030 --> 01:13:02,940 hold in our minds very apparently 1866 01:13:06,649 --> 01:13:05,040 disparate data that sometimes seems to 1867 01:13:08,689 --> 01:13:06,659 contradict itself 1868 01:13:09,890 --> 01:13:08,699 right and we try to make sense of that 1869 01:13:14,630 --> 01:13:09,900 and and 1870 01:13:16,910 --> 01:13:14,640 form patterns from that data but people 1871 01:13:18,590 --> 01:13:16,920 that are confronted with this overnight 1872 01:13:20,450 --> 01:13:18,600 because it's being announced from 1873 01:13:23,810 --> 01:13:20,460 official circles and discussed in media 1874 01:13:25,250 --> 01:13:23,820 and whatnot don't have the luxury of 1875 01:13:28,490 --> 01:13:25,260 years 1876 01:13:31,550 --> 01:13:28,500 to entertain this as a fun notion on the 1877 01:13:33,050 --> 01:13:31,560 side they are suddenly finding that 1878 01:13:37,430 --> 01:13:33,060 their 1879 01:13:40,430 --> 01:13:37,440 fundamental relationship with reality is 1880 01:13:41,930 --> 01:13:40,440 being forced to change overnight 1881 01:13:43,970 --> 01:13:41,940 in a way it's a kind of abduction 1882 01:13:46,189 --> 01:13:43,980 experience because it's the Abduction of 1883 01:13:48,590 --> 01:13:46,199 your former model of reality right in 1884 01:13:50,270 --> 01:13:48,600 your relationship to it 1885 01:13:52,010 --> 01:13:50,280 and this is going to be happening on 1886 01:13:53,810 --> 01:13:52,020 mass in a way this never happened in the 1887 01:13:55,370 --> 01:13:53,820 history of our civilization so certainly 1888 01:13:56,750 --> 01:13:55,380 it's very difficult to predict what's 1889 01:13:59,450 --> 01:13:56,760 going to happen 1890 01:14:02,149 --> 01:13:59,460 and I think anyone who has a very 1891 01:14:04,729 --> 01:14:02,159 sort of trite simple answer to that 1892 01:14:06,890 --> 01:14:04,739 question is not really weighing the 1893 01:14:10,189 --> 01:14:06,900 complexity of the factors involved the 1894 01:14:15,590 --> 01:14:12,410 it really is it really is astonishing 1895 01:14:17,209 --> 01:14:15,600 and one wonders what's going to happen I 1896 01:14:19,070 --> 01:14:17,219 mean if I were to turn this back and say 1897 01:14:20,990 --> 01:14:19,080 to you 1898 01:14:24,530 --> 01:14:21,000 do you think this is something that 1899 01:14:26,689 --> 01:14:24,540 people can can rock and and reckon with 1900 01:14:28,790 --> 01:14:26,699 and get to Notions like interdimensional 1901 01:14:30,890 --> 01:14:28,800 ultra-terrestrial extra-term pastoral 1902 01:14:32,570 --> 01:14:30,900 within a few months or is it going to 1903 01:14:35,330 --> 01:14:32,580 take three years like it has for some 1904 01:14:38,090 --> 01:14:35,340 people in in UFO Twitter 1905 01:14:39,770 --> 01:14:38,100 and perhaps what I would suggest and 1906 01:14:42,290 --> 01:14:39,780 then I'll hand it over to you to sort of 1907 01:14:44,950 --> 01:14:42,300 think about that and reflect on that 1908 01:14:47,149 --> 01:14:44,960 but I think almost inevitably it will be 1909 01:14:49,070 --> 01:14:47,159 destabilizing at first you kind of have 1910 01:14:51,709 --> 01:14:49,080 to blow up the the initial model the 1911 01:14:55,130 --> 01:14:51,719 existing model and from that wreckage 1912 01:14:57,229 --> 01:14:55,140 that debris field you say I wonder what 1913 01:15:00,010 --> 01:14:57,239 would happen if this was in play or if 1914 01:15:03,470 --> 01:15:00,020 this was possible because nothing 1915 01:15:06,350 --> 01:15:03,480 excites curiosity and provokes new 1916 01:15:08,450 --> 01:15:06,360 models than necessity 1917 01:15:10,310 --> 01:15:08,460 right and we will be in that position we 1918 01:15:13,610 --> 01:15:10,320 will have no choice but to really 1919 01:15:17,149 --> 01:15:13,620 reconsider the nature of reality to 1920 01:15:18,709 --> 01:15:17,159 dream up new Notions of models that 1921 01:15:20,450 --> 01:15:18,719 don't have anything to do with what's 1922 01:15:21,590 --> 01:15:20,460 currently on the table as I've said 1923 01:15:23,870 --> 01:15:21,600 before and I become more and more 1924 01:15:25,370 --> 01:15:23,880 convinced of this that any of the the 1925 01:15:27,709 --> 01:15:25,380 leading models right now leading 1926 01:15:30,410 --> 01:15:27,719 hypotheses fail miserably mainly because 1927 01:15:32,570 --> 01:15:30,420 we just fail so miserably 1928 01:15:34,729 --> 01:15:32,580 at a really understanding 1929 01:15:36,290 --> 01:15:34,739 base reality and that's not that's not 1930 01:15:37,970 --> 01:15:36,300 an indictment of us that's just where we 1931 01:15:40,850 --> 01:15:37,980 are in our developmental Consciousness 1932 01:15:42,590 --> 01:15:40,860 as a civilization so I think this is 1933 01:15:44,450 --> 01:15:42,600 going to entail a lot of humility it's 1934 01:15:46,490 --> 01:15:44,460 going to demand a lot of humility 1935 01:15:49,490 --> 01:15:46,500 and one hopes they'll be more and more 1936 01:15:52,550 --> 01:15:49,500 interaction with these others that would 1937 01:15:55,010 --> 01:15:52,560 therefore see new understandings new 1938 01:15:57,830 --> 01:15:55,020 insights new Inspirations we've talked 1939 01:16:00,229 --> 01:15:57,840 many times about even famous historic 1940 01:16:02,570 --> 01:16:00,239 cases of scientists that came up with 1941 01:16:05,330 --> 01:16:02,580 Innovative understandings and 1942 01:16:07,189 --> 01:16:05,340 technological innovations were inspired 1943 01:16:08,750 --> 01:16:07,199 by some sort of other intelligence and 1944 01:16:11,209 --> 01:16:08,760 when you listen to them it sounds a lot 1945 01:16:13,310 --> 01:16:11,219 like either their higher self or some 1946 01:16:15,590 --> 01:16:13,320 interdimensional entity or some alien 1947 01:16:17,290 --> 01:16:15,600 intelligence is basically seeding their 1948 01:16:19,669 --> 01:16:17,300 understanding to help us move forward 1949 01:16:22,850 --> 01:16:19,679 what happens 1950 01:16:24,830 --> 01:16:22,860 when suddenly billions of people are 1951 01:16:26,209 --> 01:16:24,840 aware there is a there there and start 1952 01:16:28,370 --> 01:16:26,219 reaching out even with their own 1953 01:16:31,070 --> 01:16:28,380 Consciousness to to make contact with 1954 01:16:33,830 --> 01:16:31,080 these others what happens with ce5 and 1955 01:16:36,169 --> 01:16:33,840 Heist protocols when suddenly billions 1956 01:16:37,790 --> 01:16:36,179 of people and at the minimum hundreds of 1957 01:16:40,790 --> 01:16:37,800 millions of people start hearing about 1958 01:16:43,970 --> 01:16:40,800 these things and start trying it how 1959 01:16:46,669 --> 01:16:43,980 does that Dynamic change our reality 1960 01:16:48,709 --> 01:16:46,679 itself perhaps on mass does it 1961 01:16:50,870 --> 01:16:48,719 fundamentally move us into a different 1962 01:16:52,669 --> 01:16:50,880 kind of dimensional relationship with 1963 01:16:54,709 --> 01:16:52,679 reality and with the cosmic Community 1964 01:16:55,910 --> 01:16:54,719 these are all questions I think that 1965 01:16:58,130 --> 01:16:55,920 really come to me when I think about 1966 01:17:04,010 --> 01:16:58,140 what lies ahead what about for you 1967 01:17:08,330 --> 01:17:06,169 the paddles to the chest the shock to 1968 01:17:12,850 --> 01:17:08,340 the system I really think that this will 1969 01:17:16,370 --> 01:17:12,860 in fact be just like that that it will 1970 01:17:20,450 --> 01:17:16,380 send a jolt of electricity through the 1971 01:17:23,390 --> 01:17:20,460 human mind and and 1972 01:17:25,490 --> 01:17:23,400 light on fire are imaginations in a way 1973 01:17:28,430 --> 01:17:25,500 that maybe we have not had in a very 1974 01:17:32,689 --> 01:17:28,440 very long time that the spark of 1975 01:17:35,590 --> 01:17:32,699 possibility will be lit and 1976 01:17:37,970 --> 01:17:35,600 I think it will be contagious now it it 1977 01:17:40,970 --> 01:17:37,980 can it be contained is the question 1978 01:17:44,630 --> 01:17:40,980 right because that you and I both know 1979 01:17:46,610 --> 01:17:44,640 that when you when you accept that 1980 01:17:49,910 --> 01:17:46,620 something is possible and when you're 1981 01:17:53,930 --> 01:17:49,920 given a permission to believe 1982 01:17:57,470 --> 01:17:53,940 that something is possible then a lot of 1983 01:17:59,149 --> 01:17:57,480 things then become more possible for you 1984 01:18:02,209 --> 01:17:59,159 you know the world that you live in 1985 01:18:05,870 --> 01:18:02,219 changes and many things are on the table 1986 01:18:09,590 --> 01:18:05,880 that once were not and I'm here reminded 1987 01:18:12,070 --> 01:18:09,600 of uh stories that I'm sure all of us 1988 01:18:15,590 --> 01:18:12,080 have from our own lives and our families 1989 01:18:18,350 --> 01:18:15,600 uh in our in our closest circles stories 1990 01:18:22,310 --> 01:18:18,360 that we've wrote off in the past as 1991 01:18:26,770 --> 01:18:22,320 being Pure Fantasy uh tricks of the 1992 01:18:31,070 --> 01:18:26,780 imagination wishful thinking etc etc 1993 01:18:33,890 --> 01:18:31,080 will be re-examined in the light of this 1994 01:18:37,310 --> 01:18:33,900 knowledge and we will at that point say 1995 01:18:40,850 --> 01:18:37,320 well wow maybe there was something to 1996 01:18:42,950 --> 01:18:40,860 that Beyond uh our human understanding 1997 01:18:46,070 --> 01:18:42,960 that that it wasn't just a figment of 1998 01:18:49,130 --> 01:18:46,080 imagination that it was uh you know to 1999 01:18:52,610 --> 01:18:49,140 some degree a true connection with this 2000 01:18:54,649 --> 01:18:52,620 broader reality that we have ignored uh 2001 01:18:59,330 --> 01:18:54,659 think of those that have had near-death 2002 01:19:01,189 --> 01:18:59,340 experience uh and uh and and how common 2003 01:19:04,130 --> 01:19:01,199 those experiences are and how many 2004 01:19:07,130 --> 01:19:04,140 similarities there are across the nde or 2005 01:19:09,950 --> 01:19:07,140 past life experiences those things come 2006 01:19:13,130 --> 01:19:09,960 right to the Forefront uh when when used 2007 01:19:15,950 --> 01:19:13,140 when you make it known and acceptable to 2008 01:19:19,430 --> 01:19:15,960 believe that we are no longer 2009 01:19:21,890 --> 01:19:19,440 at the top of the food chain uh and uh 2010 01:19:24,410 --> 01:19:21,900 and there's much more to reality and 2011 01:19:26,750 --> 01:19:24,420 life than we once thought 2012 01:19:29,870 --> 01:19:26,760 um so it you know I think the the 2013 01:19:32,390 --> 01:19:29,880 challenge could perhaps be really as it 2014 01:19:34,610 --> 01:19:32,400 maybe has often been separating the 2015 01:19:37,669 --> 01:19:34,620 signal from the noise there 2016 01:19:41,330 --> 01:19:37,679 um and and really does make me think 2017 01:19:45,709 --> 01:19:41,340 that the the need for some some serious 2018 01:19:48,350 --> 01:19:45,719 thoughtful uh Collective worldwide 2019 01:19:50,930 --> 01:19:48,360 Endeavor to understand this is going to 2020 01:19:52,970 --> 01:19:50,940 be a Paramount importance because just 2021 01:19:54,770 --> 01:19:52,980 having everyone kind of armchair 2022 01:19:56,570 --> 01:19:54,780 quarterback whatever that this might 2023 01:19:59,209 --> 01:19:56,580 mean I don't think that's going to 2024 01:20:01,310 --> 01:19:59,219 really get us anywhere uh anywhere 2025 01:20:03,050 --> 01:20:01,320 productive for that matter but you could 2026 01:20:05,030 --> 01:20:03,060 easily see where people could say well 2027 01:20:06,470 --> 01:20:05,040 there's there's non-human intelligence 2028 01:20:08,510 --> 01:20:06,480 uh and they're talking to me right now 2029 01:20:11,390 --> 01:20:08,520 and they're telling me that I can do XYZ 2030 01:20:14,270 --> 01:20:11,400 or whatever I want uh you know human 2031 01:20:16,610 --> 01:20:14,280 beings can find justification for all 2032 01:20:20,209 --> 01:20:16,620 kinds of things but I'm I'm also 2033 01:20:22,490 --> 01:20:20,219 reminded of those even now who have had 2034 01:20:24,649 --> 01:20:22,500 even maybe even a personal experience 2035 01:20:27,290 --> 01:20:24,659 with this intelligence at least one 2036 01:20:29,810 --> 01:20:27,300 faction of it and are in absolute denial 2037 01:20:31,610 --> 01:20:29,820 that it's real uh you and I have talked 2038 01:20:33,470 --> 01:20:31,620 about this many times in fact I think it 2039 01:20:36,649 --> 01:20:33,480 was one of the earlier topics of our 2040 01:20:38,930 --> 01:20:36,659 conversation that in the face of the 2041 01:20:41,570 --> 01:20:38,940 revelations that we already have been 2042 01:20:43,790 --> 01:20:41,580 privy to that there are people who just 2043 01:20:46,910 --> 01:20:43,800 go about their day-to-day and and 2044 01:20:50,330 --> 01:20:46,920 complete ignorance of of the reality 2045 01:20:53,510 --> 01:20:50,340 itself and so I I kind of Wonder to what 2046 01:20:56,390 --> 01:20:53,520 extent those people will still be there 2047 01:20:59,149 --> 01:20:56,400 um in a sense and they might acknowledge 2048 01:21:00,590 --> 01:20:59,159 that oh yeah it's real but you know I 2049 01:21:02,390 --> 01:21:00,600 don't really think about it because I 2050 01:21:03,830 --> 01:21:02,400 gotta you know I gotta pay the mortgage 2051 01:21:05,090 --> 01:21:03,840 and I don't really need I don't have 2052 01:21:07,910 --> 01:21:05,100 time for that 2053 01:21:10,370 --> 01:21:07,920 um so how many of those folks will will 2054 01:21:13,010 --> 01:21:10,380 there be uh you know in some ways kind 2055 01:21:14,750 --> 01:21:13,020 of keeping things going and staying on 2056 01:21:17,870 --> 01:21:14,760 the hamster wheel that you're already on 2057 01:21:19,790 --> 01:21:17,880 the devil you know oh right is uh is 2058 01:21:22,910 --> 01:21:19,800 better than the devil you don't 2059 01:21:25,250 --> 01:21:22,920 indeed you know I think about this 2060 01:21:28,790 --> 01:21:25,260 trauma piece we talked about before and 2061 01:21:30,050 --> 01:21:28,800 how trauma well is nothing anyone wants 2062 01:21:32,290 --> 01:21:30,060 to experience 2063 01:21:35,350 --> 01:21:32,300 when they go through it it often 2064 01:21:39,229 --> 01:21:35,360 deconstructs to a degree deep enough 2065 01:21:40,850 --> 01:21:39,239 that real transformation is possible 2066 01:21:43,910 --> 01:21:40,860 really want to hit this home for people 2067 01:21:46,250 --> 01:21:43,920 because again I think sometimes we don't 2068 01:21:47,689 --> 01:21:46,260 realize we're like shuffling deck chairs 2069 01:21:49,610 --> 01:21:47,699 on the Titanic 2070 01:21:51,110 --> 01:21:49,620 we talk about well maybe if we just do a 2071 01:21:53,390 --> 01:21:51,120 bit of this and a bit of this and if we 2072 01:21:55,430 --> 01:21:53,400 get you know this wind technology going 2073 01:21:56,870 --> 01:21:55,440 and solar technology you know at this 2074 01:21:59,090 --> 01:21:56,880 small Pace you know then eventually 2075 01:22:00,950 --> 01:21:59,100 we'll be fine we'll turn it around and 2076 01:22:03,110 --> 01:22:00,960 it's almost like we're trying to 2077 01:22:05,090 --> 01:22:03,120 convince ourselves that we're doing 2078 01:22:07,310 --> 01:22:05,100 something when we if we really look at 2079 01:22:09,950 --> 01:22:07,320 it we're not really taking it seriously 2080 01:22:11,330 --> 01:22:09,960 or working with any kind of speed or 2081 01:22:13,430 --> 01:22:11,340 urgency that we could if we really 2082 01:22:16,250 --> 01:22:13,440 wanted to and this certainly is not a 2083 01:22:18,169 --> 01:22:16,260 civilization-wide Embrace of an approach 2084 01:22:20,930 --> 01:22:18,179 to this even though we know all of the 2085 01:22:22,970 --> 01:22:20,940 variables in play ours Planet wide kind 2086 01:22:25,610 --> 01:22:22,980 of issues you can't have one nation 2087 01:22:27,709 --> 01:22:25,620 become a green technology kind of nation 2088 01:22:30,770 --> 01:22:27,719 While others go completely the opposite 2089 01:22:32,750 --> 01:22:30,780 way we don't have the option for China 2090 01:22:34,790 --> 01:22:32,760 or India to go through an industrial 2091 01:22:36,830 --> 01:22:34,800 revolution like we did there'll be too 2092 01:22:38,810 --> 01:22:36,840 much damage to the planet at the same 2093 01:22:41,090 --> 01:22:38,820 time we have to as First World countries 2094 01:22:42,649 --> 01:22:41,100 who did go through all that say who are 2095 01:22:44,630 --> 01:22:42,659 we to say to them they can't and and 2096 01:22:46,669 --> 01:22:44,640 what kind of sacrifices do we need to 2097 01:22:48,350 --> 01:22:46,679 make to also play our play our role here 2098 01:22:50,149 --> 01:22:48,360 now some people with think I'm getting 2099 01:22:51,770 --> 01:22:50,159 preachy here but again I just really 2100 01:22:54,050 --> 01:22:51,780 want to hit home I think the situation 2101 01:22:56,149 --> 01:22:54,060 is much more dire than we realize 2102 01:22:59,330 --> 01:22:56,159 and so I come back to this trauma piece 2103 01:23:01,370 --> 01:22:59,340 this will undoubtedly be traumatic but 2104 01:23:03,649 --> 01:23:01,380 even when I speak with close friends of 2105 01:23:04,970 --> 01:23:03,659 mine who are trauma counselors 2106 01:23:07,370 --> 01:23:04,980 people have been through some of the 2107 01:23:10,850 --> 01:23:07,380 most horrific things you can imagine and 2108 01:23:14,090 --> 01:23:10,860 it blows up their life no fun but on the 2109 01:23:16,430 --> 01:23:14,100 other side of that you then have the 2110 01:23:19,610 --> 01:23:16,440 real capacity for transformational 2111 01:23:21,709 --> 01:23:19,620 change not just situational posturing 2112 01:23:23,450 --> 01:23:21,719 and that kind of thing but really 2113 01:23:25,490 --> 01:23:23,460 fundamentally re-examining your 2114 01:23:27,410 --> 01:23:25,500 relationship with life with reality why 2115 01:23:29,630 --> 01:23:27,420 you're here what you're doing 2116 01:23:31,729 --> 01:23:29,640 and I just want to remind people that a 2117 01:23:34,130 --> 01:23:31,739 consistent message that experiencers 2118 01:23:35,390 --> 01:23:34,140 Come Away with from these encounters is 2119 01:23:36,709 --> 01:23:35,400 not just you need to do things 2120 01:23:38,270 --> 01:23:36,719 differently with the Earth you need to 2121 01:23:40,010 --> 01:23:38,280 treat the Earth with respect you need to 2122 01:23:41,209 --> 01:23:40,020 think about not just creating it like a 2123 01:23:43,970 --> 01:23:41,219 commodity 2124 01:23:45,890 --> 01:23:43,980 but also who are you what is your 2125 01:23:48,410 --> 01:23:45,900 relationship with the cosmos what is 2126 01:23:50,270 --> 01:23:48,420 your multi-dimensional cross lifetime 2127 01:23:52,550 --> 01:23:50,280 kind of experience so many people Come 2128 01:23:54,590 --> 01:23:52,560 Away with experiences of remembering 2129 01:23:57,110 --> 01:23:54,600 past lives remembering sometimes being 2130 01:23:59,390 --> 01:23:57,120 in different forms in different 2131 01:24:01,669 --> 01:23:59,400 lifetimes even as a gray alien some 2132 01:24:03,410 --> 01:24:01,679 people really do have a fundamental 2133 01:24:05,630 --> 01:24:03,420 sense of having an identity as partly 2134 01:24:07,490 --> 01:24:05,640 human partly something else these are 2135 01:24:09,830 --> 01:24:07,500 Notions that will also probably be 2136 01:24:11,930 --> 01:24:09,840 introduced to the conversation as this 2137 01:24:14,870 --> 01:24:11,940 spirals out and yet these are questions 2138 01:24:17,450 --> 01:24:14,880 we need to engage with we need to 2139 01:24:18,950 --> 01:24:17,460 fundamentally think about what this 2140 01:24:20,750 --> 01:24:18,960 means in all of the big questions 2141 01:24:24,110 --> 01:24:20,760 because it's not just one big question 2142 01:24:26,209 --> 01:24:24,120 it's not just are we alone no but it's 2143 01:24:28,790 --> 01:24:26,219 also who then are we 2144 01:24:30,229 --> 01:24:28,800 what is life what is this you know I 2145 01:24:32,390 --> 01:24:30,239 think again about my Buddhist training 2146 01:24:34,130 --> 01:24:32,400 and they will often say that Romana 2147 01:24:35,990 --> 01:24:34,140 maharshi will get people to ask this 2148 01:24:38,330 --> 01:24:36,000 question over and over again and you 2149 01:24:40,010 --> 01:24:38,340 keep asking it you go deeper and deeper 2150 01:24:43,130 --> 01:24:40,020 and deeper until eventually you realize 2151 01:24:45,950 --> 01:24:43,140 there's no individual eye that is to 2152 01:24:48,290 --> 01:24:45,960 some degree an illusion what I am is the 2153 01:24:50,330 --> 01:24:48,300 cosmos what I am is everything and how 2154 01:24:52,070 --> 01:24:50,340 differently would we respond if we 2155 01:24:54,110 --> 01:24:52,080 recognize that we were facets of that 2156 01:24:55,790 --> 01:24:54,120 one Diamond how would we look at each 2157 01:24:58,010 --> 01:24:55,800 other differently look at these others 2158 01:24:59,630 --> 01:24:58,020 differently and look at our relationship 2159 01:25:00,470 --> 01:24:59,640 with the planet differently all these 2160 01:25:03,470 --> 01:25:00,480 things 2161 01:25:06,410 --> 01:25:03,480 really key questions who am I what is 2162 01:25:08,450 --> 01:25:06,420 this what is this everything around me 2163 01:25:11,390 --> 01:25:08,460 what I'm doing day to day what is this 2164 01:25:13,790 --> 01:25:11,400 we get so caught up in our capitalist 2165 01:25:15,169 --> 01:25:13,800 system like you said that we we file it 2166 01:25:18,050 --> 01:25:15,179 and we file out of work we sit in 2167 01:25:20,149 --> 01:25:18,060 traffic blah blah and we're so busy with 2168 01:25:22,130 --> 01:25:20,159 that that our lives are gone before we 2169 01:25:23,750 --> 01:25:22,140 know it decades have gone by 2170 01:25:25,790 --> 01:25:23,760 and we haven't really entertained those 2171 01:25:28,310 --> 01:25:25,800 deep questions what I'm excited about 2172 01:25:30,470 --> 01:25:28,320 with this Revelation that's coming is 2173 01:25:33,530 --> 01:25:30,480 not just the question about are physical 2174 01:25:35,030 --> 01:25:33,540 aliens from Alpha Centauri here but like 2175 01:25:36,709 --> 01:25:35,040 you say what is the nature of reality 2176 01:25:38,209 --> 01:25:36,719 maybe that experience I had when I was 2177 01:25:39,950 --> 01:25:38,219 10 years old and I saw that being maybe 2178 01:25:42,229 --> 01:25:39,960 that really happened maybe that wasn't 2179 01:25:44,450 --> 01:25:42,239 just a dream maybe there's a 2180 01:25:47,110 --> 01:25:44,460 multi-dimensional aspect to life all 2181 01:25:49,910 --> 01:25:47,120 around us and what really makes me 2182 01:25:51,169 --> 01:25:49,920 excited is the possibility that just 2183 01:25:54,110 --> 01:25:51,179 that question 2184 01:25:55,790 --> 01:25:54,120 being asked by many many people in the 2185 01:25:58,790 --> 01:25:55,800 millions and the billions how might that 2186 01:26:01,070 --> 01:25:58,800 fundamentally change our relationship 2187 01:26:03,169 --> 01:26:01,080 with reality how might that offer us new 2188 01:26:04,669 --> 01:26:03,179 opportunities to see the world there's 2189 01:26:07,490 --> 01:26:04,679 been some really interesting research 2190 01:26:09,950 --> 01:26:07,500 done on psilocybin and how people that 2191 01:26:13,550 --> 01:26:09,960 have experienced psilocybin and seen 2192 01:26:15,350 --> 01:26:13,560 these deeper realities seen and felt is 2193 01:26:17,090 --> 01:26:15,360 very important in an embodied way they 2194 01:26:19,850 --> 01:26:17,100 felt connected to everything and 2195 01:26:21,950 --> 01:26:19,860 everyone you act completely differently 2196 01:26:25,129 --> 01:26:21,960 when that is your false understanding of 2197 01:26:26,510 --> 01:26:25,139 identity this has the possibility to do 2198 01:26:29,450 --> 01:26:26,520 something like that in the best case 2199 01:26:31,910 --> 01:26:29,460 scenario it was like a a mass psilocybin 2200 01:26:33,470 --> 01:26:31,920 effect across the planet so these are 2201 01:26:35,990 --> 01:26:33,480 the things that are daunting challenges 2202 01:26:37,970 --> 01:26:36,000 we face but also I think this Revelation 2203 01:26:39,590 --> 01:26:37,980 while initially will be traumatizing 2204 01:26:42,410 --> 01:26:39,600 there will be some destabilization 2205 01:26:45,590 --> 01:26:42,420 undoubtedly when we have a market-based 2206 01:26:48,350 --> 01:26:45,600 system that tries to respond to reduce 2207 01:26:51,770 --> 01:26:48,360 the unknown this is the unknown with a 2208 01:26:54,410 --> 01:26:51,780 capital u and so how is that going to be 2209 01:26:57,050 --> 01:26:54,420 treated and handled by a market-based 2210 01:27:00,770 --> 01:26:57,060 system of capitalism and what does that 2211 01:27:02,149 --> 01:27:00,780 say about the system we've trusted to 2212 01:27:03,770 --> 01:27:02,159 care for our children and our 2213 01:27:05,689 --> 01:27:03,780 grandchildren moving forward is a way we 2214 01:27:07,669 --> 01:27:05,699 can do it better these are all questions 2215 01:27:09,169 --> 01:27:07,679 I think that arise as secondary 2216 01:27:11,570 --> 01:27:09,179 questions because of these initial 2217 01:27:14,810 --> 01:27:11,580 Revelations 2218 01:27:18,470 --> 01:27:14,820 there is indeed another way another way 2219 01:27:22,070 --> 01:27:18,480 to be we have been trapped by 2220 01:27:25,970 --> 01:27:22,080 our ways of thinking in a way the trauma 2221 01:27:27,290 --> 01:27:25,980 that we experience in reality now the 2222 01:27:30,729 --> 01:27:27,300 day-to-day 2223 01:27:34,510 --> 01:27:30,739 it defines us and it confines us 2224 01:27:38,090 --> 01:27:34,520 it constrains what we think is possible 2225 01:27:41,090 --> 01:27:38,100 and what this represents as we have said 2226 01:27:45,770 --> 01:27:41,100 many times is 2227 01:27:48,290 --> 01:27:45,780 a a ray of light a a a a a a Hint it is 2228 01:27:51,649 --> 01:27:48,300 something greater and deeper than what 2229 01:27:54,590 --> 01:27:51,659 we think can be true and it it gives us 2230 01:27:58,129 --> 01:27:54,600 that opportunity it invites us into that 2231 01:28:01,850 --> 01:27:58,139 opportunity uh it cannot be ignored we 2232 01:28:06,110 --> 01:28:01,860 we can no longer ignore it and a new day 2233 01:28:07,910 --> 01:28:06,120 will come and a new way uh will be shown 2234 01:28:10,390 --> 01:28:07,920 and 2235 01:28:14,810 --> 01:28:10,400 we will step into that future 2236 01:28:17,330 --> 01:28:14,820 uh perhaps we will stumble uh but I am 2237 01:28:21,470 --> 01:28:17,340 hopeful we will take those steps and 2238 01:28:24,350 --> 01:28:21,480 eventually learn how to run and what a 2239 01:28:25,910 --> 01:28:24,360 wonderful day that will be 2240 01:28:28,129 --> 01:28:25,920 agreed and I think the only thing I 2241 01:28:31,430 --> 01:28:28,139 would add as we close here is that 2242 01:28:33,590 --> 01:28:31,440 my hope is my goal is to be part of a 2243 01:28:35,810 --> 01:28:33,600 movement that not only thinks about how 2244 01:28:38,330 --> 01:28:35,820 we have to be different systemically in 2245 01:28:40,790 --> 01:28:38,340 terms of our systems whatnot but that 2246 01:28:42,950 --> 01:28:40,800 also the kind of ego death that people 2247 01:28:45,229 --> 01:28:42,960 experience sometimes when they encounter 2248 01:28:46,910 --> 01:28:45,239 these others will be something that all 2249 01:28:48,410 --> 01:28:46,920 of us begin to experience but not 2250 01:28:50,149 --> 01:28:48,420 because it's traumatic but because of 2251 01:28:51,830 --> 01:28:50,159 what lies on the other side of that a 2252 01:28:53,450 --> 01:28:51,840 Transcendent understanding of being 2253 01:28:55,430 --> 01:28:53,460 connected to everything 2254 01:28:57,590 --> 01:28:55,440 and that I think just as important as 2255 01:28:59,510 --> 01:28:57,600 the systemic changes we need to make 2256 01:29:01,910 --> 01:28:59,520 we also need to treat each other 2257 01:29:04,850 --> 01:29:01,920 differently one-on-one small groups 2258 01:29:06,410 --> 01:29:04,860 larger groups organization-wide the 2259 01:29:09,410 --> 01:29:06,420 interpersonal changes we need to make 2260 01:29:11,390 --> 01:29:09,420 are also I think Paramount I have a goal 2261 01:29:12,770 --> 01:29:11,400 to actually help train people with that 2262 01:29:13,850 --> 01:29:12,780 because of some of the experiences I've 2263 01:29:16,550 --> 01:29:13,860 had some of the things I've been 2264 01:29:18,830 --> 01:29:16,560 practicing and developing for for a long 2265 01:29:21,470 --> 01:29:18,840 time now because I think we have to 2266 01:29:23,750 --> 01:29:21,480 fundamentally unlearn some of the ways 2267 01:29:26,390 --> 01:29:23,760 we've learned to be with each other with 2268 01:29:27,890 --> 01:29:26,400 so much deception and lies like you say 2269 01:29:30,470 --> 01:29:27,900 even if they're white lies that all of 2270 01:29:31,910 --> 01:29:30,480 that actually robs us of this deeper 2271 01:29:34,669 --> 01:29:31,920 Treasure of being connected to each 2272 01:29:37,610 --> 01:29:34,679 other and my firm belief is my 2273 01:29:39,590 --> 01:29:37,620 conviction is if we can be radically 2274 01:29:41,990 --> 01:29:39,600 transparent with each other we become 2275 01:29:43,610 --> 01:29:42,000 more psychic we become inherently more 2276 01:29:45,830 --> 01:29:43,620 connected to each other and to 2277 01:29:47,330 --> 01:29:45,840 everything else and so my hope is that 2278 01:29:49,970 --> 01:29:47,340 that is a big part of what happens here 2279 01:29:56,810 --> 01:29:53,510 Amen to that I'm here for it and I'm 2280 01:29:59,169 --> 01:29:56,820 sure many of our listeners are as well 2281 01:30:05,209 --> 01:29:59,179 uh I am 2282 01:30:06,950 --> 01:30:05,219 encouraged uh and uh and optimistic I 2283 01:30:08,990 --> 01:30:06,960 think it's going to be a very positive 2284 01:30:12,649 --> 01:30:09,000 thing there will be many difficult 2285 01:30:13,570 --> 01:30:12,659 conversations ahead but one's well worth 2286 01:30:17,090 --> 01:30:13,580 having 2287 01:30:20,990 --> 01:30:17,100 and I encourage all of those who listen 2288 01:30:23,330 --> 01:30:21,000 to this podcast uh to be you know ready 2289 01:30:26,810 --> 01:30:23,340 and open to having those conversations 2290 01:30:29,510 --> 01:30:26,820 uh not only with uh those that they love 2291 01:30:31,010 --> 01:30:29,520 but uh The Strangers that they meet and 2292 01:30:33,229 --> 01:30:31,020 that we can be you know kind of 2293 01:30:36,890 --> 01:30:33,239 ambassadors for 2294 01:30:39,709 --> 01:30:36,900 um a new way of understanding 2295 01:30:42,169 --> 01:30:39,719 and on that note May the quality of our 2296 01:30:44,689 --> 01:30:42,179 questions shaped by desire for 2297 01:30:45,830 --> 01:30:44,699 understanding enhance our journey of 2298 01:30:48,350 --> 01:30:45,840 discovery 2299 01:30:51,470 --> 01:30:48,360 the mayor travels broaden the sphere of 2300 01:30:54,590 --> 01:30:51,480 our Consciousness reminding us that new 2301 01:30:57,709 --> 01:30:54,600 discoveries beget New Horizons 2302 01:30:59,570 --> 01:30:57,719 and as always Adventure awaits 2303 01:31:03,450 --> 01:30:59,580 we'll see you next time on liminal 2304 01:31:07,250 --> 01:31:05,680 [Music] 2305 01:31:13,550 --> 01:31:07,260 [Laughter]
