00:00:12,799 we can't directly establish causation 5 00:00:16,470 --> 00:00:14,799 right if you look at what richard dolan 6 00:00:18,310 --> 00:00:16,480 was this guiding of the 7 00:00:20,310 -->

00:00:25,279 to the near death experience reports of 11 00:00:29,910 --> 00:00:27,920 this overwhelming love and then you look 12 00:00:32,229 --> 00:00:29,920 at for instance the new testament and 13

--> 00:04:08,640 about your background tell me 97 00:04:13,190 --> 00:04:11,280 yeah so it's i'm a classical scholar so 98 00:04:14,470 --> 00:04:13,200 ancient greece and rome 99 00:04:16,229 --> 00:04:14,480 and was a 100 00:04:17,990 --> 00:04:16,239 researcher and 101 00:04:20,150 --> 00:04:18,000 tutor in different universities in new 102 00:04:20,949 --> 00:04:20,160 zealand with this 103 00:04:24,070 --> 00:04:20,959 and 104 00:04:25,510 --> 00:04:24,080 it was really just an amazing 105 00:04:28,950 --> 00:04:25,520 time just to be with all school 106 00:04:31,830 --> 00:04:28,960 professors who really respected just the 107 00:04:33,670 --> 00:04:31,840 ancient history and the cultures and the 108 00:04:35,150 --> 00:04:33,680 ancient religions 109 00:04:36,550 --> 00:04:35,160 but then i noticed that the 110 00:04:38,790 --> 00:04:36,560 [Music] 111 00:04:40,390 --> 00:04:38,800 new blood within the system 112 00:04:41,430 --> 00:04:40,400 these new professors they were more and 113 00:04:42,710 --> 00:04:41,440 more 114 00:04:44,550 --> 00:04:42,720 ideological 115 00:04:46,710 --> 00:04:44,560 and 116 00:04:49,030 --> 00:04:46,720 they were labeling for instance the 117 00:04:51,670 --> 00:04:49,040 ancient religions as just superstition 118 00:04:54,469 --> 00:04:51,680 not to be taken seriously 119 00:04:57,189 --> 00:04:54,479 and the entire aesthetic of the art for 120 00:04:59,670 --> 00:04:57,199 instance i was a paid researcher in 121 00:05:02,070 --> 00:04:59,680 ancient greek bars 122 00:05:03,590 --> 00:05:02,080 paintings and i just noticed that this 123 00:05:06,070 --> 00:05:03,600 was all being 124 00:05:07,749 --> 00:05:06,080 corrupted and i just really wanted to 125 00:05:09,830 --> 00:05:07,759 just focus on 126 00:05:11,590 --> 00:05:09,840 the ancient world and just to immerse 127 00:05:13,749 --> 00:05:11,600 myself into this 128 00:05:15,909 --> 00:05:13,759 uh way of thinking in this material 129 00:05:17,749 --> 00:05:15,919 culture 130 00:05:21,110 --> 00:05:17,759 and so my professors for instance they 131 00:05:23,990 --> 00:05:21,120 said that i could go on to be a pro to 132 00:05:25,590 --> 00:05:24,000 that the ceiling was limitless from for 133 00:05:27,430 --> 00:05:25,600 me 134 00:05:30,790 --> 00:05:27,440 but i just decided with a heavy heart 135 00:05:33,430 --> 00:05:30,800 that i just couldn't carry on with the 136 00:05:35,029 --> 00:05:33,440 way the academy had basically been 137 00:05:36,310 --> 00:05:35,039 subverted by 138 00:05:37,909 --> 00:05:36,320 ideologues 139 00:05:40,870 --> 00:05:37,919 we were more interested in pushing 140 00:05:42,469 --> 00:05:40,880 gender than the actual ancient past can 141 00:05:44,550 --> 00:05:42,479 i interject a question because i think 142 00:05:46,710 --> 00:05:44,560 this is like a super important point 143 00:05:49,990 --> 00:05:46,720 that i keep running into again and again 144 00:05:52,550 --> 00:05:50,000 i don't have the answer to it 145 00:05:54,790 --> 00:05:52,560 to what extent do you think 146 00:05:57,270 --> 00:05:54,800 there has been this sea change that 147 00:06:00,390 --> 00:05:57,280 you're talking about because i'm sure 148 00:06:02,150 --> 00:06:00,400 you could go find old-timers there that 149 00:06:03,590 --> 00:06:02,160 you could maybe you did that you could 150 00:06:04,790 --> 00:06:03,600 pull aside and go 151 00:06:06,790 --> 00:06:04,800 hey kid 152 00:06:08,710 --> 00:06:06,800 actually it's always been like that and 153 00:06:10,790 --> 00:06:08,720 here are the political games that i had 154 00:06:13,590 --> 00:06:10,800 to play and you know all the rest of 155 00:06:16,390 --> 00:06:13,600 that stuff and maybe it varies from 156 00:06:19,430 --> 00:06:16,400 a department department maybe it varies 157 00:06:22,230 --> 00:06:19,440 from administration to administration i 158 00:06:25,270 --> 00:06:22,240 don't know i i have kind of an intuitive 159 00:06:27,270 --> 00:06:25,280 sense from just what i've done here that 160 00:06:29,749 --> 00:06:27,280 there really is a change but i don't 161 00:06:31,110 --> 00:06:29,759 want to i want to fight that too and i 162 00:06:32,309 --> 00:06:31,120 really want to challenge that do you 163 00:06:34,070 --> 00:06:32,319 know what i mean do you want to explore 164 00:06:35,990 --> 00:06:34,080 the whole 165 00:06:37,670 --> 00:06:36,000 you know what because i'm sure you have 166 00:06:38,870 --> 00:06:37,680 you probably questioned that too don't 167 00:06:41,990 --> 00:06:38,880 you 168 00:06:44,309 --> 00:06:42,000 no absolutely and tracing it back to the 169 00:06:46,790 --> 00:06:44,319 frankfurter school for instance way back 170 00:06:48,550 --> 00:06:46,800 in the earlier 20th century but it even 171 00:06:49,990 --> 00:06:48,560 goes further back than that 172 00:06:53,189 --> 00:06:50,000 that there were these 173 00:06:55,749 --> 00:06:53,199 machinations before then to become 174 00:06:57,670 --> 00:06:55,759 less and less about actual searching for 175 00:06:59,350 --> 00:06:57,680 not for knowledge about history for 176 00:07:01,909 --> 00:06:59,360 instance in my case 177 00:07:04,390 --> 00:07:01,919 and more just to to instill in the 178 00:07:06,790 --> 00:07:04,400 ideology just a few points that they 179 00:07:09,189 --> 00:07:06,800 just keep on hammering 180 00:07:10,150 --> 00:07:09,199 into the students minds just the whole 181 00:07:12,550 --> 00:07:10,160 frame 182 00:07:14,950 --> 00:07:12,560 of the oppressor versus the 183 00:07:18,309 --> 00:07:14,960 oppressed narrative 184 00:07:19,510 --> 00:07:18,319 as you know in cultural marxism 185 00:07:23,510 --> 00:07:19,520 so is it 186 00:07:25,589 --> 00:07:23,520 is it new is it same game different 187 00:07:28,070 --> 00:07:25,599 same playbook different play you know 188 00:07:31,029 --> 00:07:28,080 where now it's a different agenda being 189 00:07:33,589 --> 00:07:31,039 fishboard or is there really something 190 00:07:35,589 --> 00:07:33,599 new in terms of the consolidation of 191 00:07:37,830 --> 00:07:35,599 control and power do you feel like you 192 00:07:39,749 --> 00:07:37,840 have the ability to go to 193 00:07:42,390 --> 00:07:39,759 another institution and have it be 194 00:07:44,309 --> 00:07:42,400 different or what are your 195 00:07:45,990 --> 00:07:44,319 what are your more your broader thoughts 196 00:07:47,990 --> 00:07:46,000 about that because you know what i mean 197 00:07:49,350 --> 00:07:48,000 nelson i mean we we kind of get locked 198 00:07:52,070 --> 00:07:49,360 in and i don't want to do that i don't 199 00:07:54,150 --> 00:07:52,080 want to get locked into just kind of 200 00:07:56,070 --> 00:07:54,160 you know the diatribe oh my god we're 201 00:07:57,670 --> 00:07:56,080 oppressed and this is the way it is if 202 00:08:00,070 --> 00:07:57,680 that's the way it is i want to talk 203 00:08:03,430 --> 00:08:00,080 about it but i want to make sure we're 204 00:08:05,270 --> 00:08:03,440 kind of exploring the whole part of it 205 00:08:06,309 --> 00:08:05,280 no absolutely i can understand that and 206 00:08:08,790 --> 00:08:06,319 i think 207 00:08:11,749 --> 00:08:08,800 that people don't like these 208 00:08:13,029 --> 00:08:11,759 more nuanced processes of history of the 209 00:08:14,710 --> 00:08:13,039 development of things they're just like 210 00:08:17,110 --> 00:08:14,720 a simple causation 211 00:08:19,189 --> 00:08:17,120 and a point where they can just mark 212 00:08:20,629 --> 00:08:19,199 that's where it began right 213 00:08:22,070 --> 00:08:20,639 and i think it is what you said is 214 00:08:24,629 --> 00:08:22,080 cumulative 215 00:08:26,790 --> 00:08:24,639 and that more and more 216 00:08:28,710 --> 00:08:26,800 of these faculties have just been taken 217 00:08:30,150 --> 00:08:28,720 over by the by these ideologues 218 00:08:31,830 --> 00:08:30,160 basically 219 00:08:33,670 --> 00:08:31,840 and the people who are 220 00:08:35,670 --> 00:08:33,680 genuinely searching after knowledge of 221 00:08:37,509 --> 00:08:35,680 the ancient past that they 222 00:08:40,709 --> 00:08:37,519 uh slowly became 223 00:08:42,469 --> 00:08:40,719 and often unwittingly just pushed out 224 00:08:46,150 --> 00:08:42,479 and even if they 225 00:08:48,790 --> 00:08:46,160 were brilliant researchers and teachers 226 00:08:50,949 --> 00:08:48,800 that they just ended up um retiring and 227 00:08:52,870 --> 00:08:50,959 then the new people who are coming in 228 00:08:54,949 --> 00:08:52,880 were just taking it over and once you 229 00:08:56,949 --> 00:08:54,959 get the elite capture 230 00:08:58,470 --> 00:08:56,959 of a certain faculty 231 00:09:00,790 --> 00:08:58,480 and they start 232 00:09:03,350 --> 00:09:00,800 consciously putting in their 233 00:09:04,710 --> 00:09:03,360 fellow ideologues into the positions of 234 00:09:06,949 --> 00:09:04,720 authority 235 00:09:09,829 --> 00:09:06,959 then it's very quick that the entire 236 00:09:11,670 --> 00:09:09,839 faculty just gets taken over and tenure 237 00:09:13,990 --> 00:09:11,680 for instance is an illusion 238 00:09:15,910 --> 00:09:14,000 i've heard so many stories of 239 00:09:18,070 --> 00:09:15,920 for instance an entire faculty just 240 00:09:20,790 --> 00:09:18,080 being just being fired basically so 241 00:09:23,110 --> 00:09:20,800 everyone was let loose and then they 242 00:09:26,870 --> 00:09:23,120 re-hired only the ones that they wanted 243 00:09:28,870 --> 00:09:26,880 in so that was that was a run around 244 00:09:31,430 --> 00:09:28,880 the institution the other thing i've 245 00:09:33,990 --> 00:09:31,440 heard about tenure is the other game 246 00:09:35,590 --> 00:09:34,000 that they play is 247 00:09:38,070 --> 00:09:35,600 they're just changing the rules going 248 00:09:40,630 --> 00:09:38,080 forward you know because i've heard from 249 00:09:43,829 --> 00:09:40,640 people that have come on the show say i 250 00:09:45,030 --> 00:09:43,839 have tenure but i'm a dying breed you 251 00:09:47,829 --> 00:09:45,040 know they're just 252 00:09:49,509 --> 00:09:47,839 and and to your point when they hire 253 00:09:51,190 --> 00:09:49,519 people they just hire them and that's 254 00:09:54,230 --> 00:09:51,200 part of their employment agreement it's 255 00:09:55,990 --> 00:09:54,240 a non-tenure track you know or they'll 256 00:09:57,509 --> 00:09:56,000 they'll eliminate it so they have a lot 257 00:10:00,310 --> 00:09:57,519 of little things but if you think about 258 00:10:02,630 --> 00:10:00,320 it tenure doesn't really serve the 259 00:10:05,110 --> 00:10:02,640 system that they 260 00:10:06,870 --> 00:10:05,120 it you know would you want tenure if you 261 00:10:09,430 --> 00:10:06,880 were running a department would you 262 00:10:11,829 --> 00:10:09,440 really want tenure if you were running a 263 00:10:13,750 --> 00:10:11,839 university would you really want tenure 264 00:10:15,670 --> 00:10:13,760 and i think it kind of to me it also 265 00:10:18,150 --> 00:10:15,680 relates to this whole thing about 266 00:10:20,630 --> 00:10:18,160 capitalism and of course capitalism run 267 00:10:23,110 --> 00:10:20,640 amok is a disaster and that's why we 268 00:10:25,350 --> 00:10:23,120 have these rules but it's almost like 269 00:10:27,350 --> 00:10:25,360 the reverse of that yeah if i was 270 00:10:29,829 --> 00:10:27,360 running if i was running a business i'd 271 00:10:32,150 --> 00:10:29,839 want no restrictions no controls and the 272 00:10:34,710 --> 00:10:32,160 same thing if i was running a university 273 00:10:35,990 --> 00:10:34,720 i wouldn't want tenure because that is 274 00:10:38,230 --> 00:10:36,000 that is 275 00:10:39,829 --> 00:10:38,240 reduces my ability to control and it's 276 00:10:41,910 --> 00:10:39,839 funny how people 277 00:10:44,790 --> 00:10:41,920 see this kind of left right they don't 278 00:10:47,430 --> 00:10:44,800 see the shades of it's just 279 00:10:48,870 --> 00:10:47,440 people want total power to do what they 280 00:10:51,509 --> 00:10:48,880 want whether they're in business or 281 00:10:54,470 --> 00:10:51,519 whether they're in academia and our job 282 00:10:56,230 --> 00:10:54,480 is to put those controls and tenure was 283 00:10:59,269 --> 00:10:56,240 designed to be 284 00:11:01,670 --> 00:10:59,279 a control that you you probably should 285 00:11:03,990 --> 00:11:01,680 speak to that more because 286 00:11:05,670 --> 00:11:04,000 you that was your that was your your 287 00:11:07,910 --> 00:11:05,680 life there for a while speak to the 288 00:11:10,550 --> 00:11:07,920 whole tenure thing i when i began i i 289 00:11:13,269 --> 00:11:10,560 just had this naive view that i could 290 00:11:16,790 --> 00:11:13,279 get into the academy become 291 00:11:20,069 --> 00:11:16,800 a well-known researcher just through the 292 00:11:22,069 --> 00:11:20,079 competency that i brought to it but then 293 00:11:23,670 --> 00:11:22,079 i just realized more and more that they 294 00:11:25,670 --> 00:11:23,680 just talking to professors that they 295 00:11:27,590 --> 00:11:25,680 weren't most of them that i encountered 296 00:11:29,590 --> 00:11:27,600 in different faculties 297 00:11:31,509 --> 00:11:29,600 that they were 298 00:11:33,509 --> 00:11:31,519 really only interested in 299 00:11:35,190 --> 00:11:33,519 basically just 300 00:11:37,509 --> 00:11:35,200 getting published that was the main 301 00:11:38,470 --> 00:11:37,519 thing for them actually so it was just 302 00:11:41,750 --> 00:11:38,480 this 303 00:11:44,150 --> 00:11:41,760 the selfish the selfish aim to just get 304 00:11:46,389 --> 00:11:44,160 published or perish right you just 305 00:11:48,389 --> 00:11:46,399 have to keep publishing and 306 00:11:51,190 --> 00:11:48,399 many of them were publishing dozens and 307 00:11:52,949 --> 00:11:51,200 dozens of articles but the readership on 308 00:11:54,710 --> 00:11:52,959 these is almost zero 309 00:11:57,430 --> 00:11:54,720 so you can even 310 00:11:59,910 --> 00:11:57,440 statistically see this that how often an 311 00:12:01,829 --> 00:11:59,920 article is cited of course and i think 312 00:12:04,389 --> 00:12:01,839 the average in the humanities is only 313 00:12:06,550 --> 00:12:04,399 one one citation i i you know one of the 314 00:12:08,949 --> 00:12:06,560 conversations i had a while ago i don't 315 00:12:11,829 --> 00:12:08,959 know if you remember what was a 316 00:12:13,350 --> 00:12:11,839 virginia tech professor named dr henry 317 00:12:15,269 --> 00:12:13,360 bauer and he's 318 00:12:17,590 --> 00:12:15,279 an older guy and he's been around and 319 00:12:20,870 --> 00:12:17,600 he's really kind of seen a lot of things 320 00:12:23,350 --> 00:12:20,880 and he's kind of got interested in the 321 00:12:24,710 --> 00:12:23,360 hiv aids thing and that was one of the 322 00:12:25,829 --> 00:12:24,720 things that i don't want to go too far 323 00:12:27,990 --> 00:12:25,839 into that but 324 00:12:30,470 --> 00:12:28,000 very good science and he also got 325 00:12:32,949 --> 00:12:30,480 interested in just people whose 326 00:12:35,590 --> 00:12:32,959 in academia whose ideas were being 327 00:12:37,269 --> 00:12:35,600 suppressed but what he pointed out from 328 00:12:38,949 --> 00:12:37,279 a big picture standpoint that i thought 329 00:12:40,310 --> 00:12:38,959 was really interesting and plays into 330 00:12:42,310 --> 00:12:40,320 what you're saying 331 00:12:44,150 --> 00:12:42,320 he said if you look at it from an 332 00:12:47,350 --> 00:12:44,160 economic model 333 00:12:49,910 --> 00:12:47,360 in the 50s there was this huge 334 00:12:52,389 --> 00:12:49,920 increase in funding for 335 00:12:54,230 --> 00:12:52,399 all sorts of academic endeavors whether 336 00:12:57,030 --> 00:12:54,240 it's in the humanities or the sciences 337 00:12:58,069 --> 00:12:57,040 or whatever there was money it just 338 00:13:03,030 --> 00:12:58,079 and then 339 00:13:05,829 --> 00:13:03,040 to 340 00:13:07,269 --> 00:13:05,839 reign that in and when you reduce the 341 00:13:09,829 --> 00:13:07,279 pool 342 00:13:12,150 --> 00:13:09,839 well the fish that were in there and 343 00:13:13,990 --> 00:13:12,160 were kind of swimming and getting along 344 00:13:16,230 --> 00:13:14,000 because there was plenty of food 345 00:13:18,230 --> 00:13:16,240 started having to attack each other and 346 00:13:20,949 --> 00:13:18,240 and that's what i think 347 00:13:24,069 --> 00:13:20,959 that competitive environment 348 00:13:26,710 --> 00:13:24,079 was utilized by maybe and i'll get your 349 00:13:28,550 --> 00:13:26,720 opinion on this became a tool and a 350 00:13:29,990 --> 00:13:28,560 vehicle for 351 00:13:31,829 --> 00:13:30,000 people who wanted to control the 352 00:13:33,190 --> 00:13:31,839 situation control the message whether it 353 00:13:35,670 --> 00:13:33,200 was a corporate 354 00:13:37,110 --> 00:13:35,680 entity trying to advance its drug or 355 00:13:39,350 --> 00:13:37,120 whether it was someone who is trying to 356 00:13:41,670 --> 00:13:39,360 advance a certain idea they saw an 357 00:13:44,310 --> 00:13:41,680 opportunity that wow now i have these 358 00:13:47,030 --> 00:13:44,320 guys jumping through all sorts of hoops 359 00:13:48,949 --> 00:13:47,040 for relatively nothing in terms of what 360 00:13:51,829 --> 00:13:48,959 i can give in terms of a grant or a 361 00:13:54,710 --> 00:13:51,839 citation or all the rest of that what do 362 00:13:58,150 --> 00:13:54,720 you think about bowers analysis of that 363 00:13:59,189 --> 00:13:58,160 from an economic model 364 00:14:00,389 --> 00:13:59,199 well i didn't actually see that 365 00:14:02,550 --> 00:14:00,399 interview i've seen most of your 366 00:14:04,310 --> 00:14:02,560 interviews but it just is a fascinating 367 00:14:06,230 --> 00:14:04,320 point what you brought up because 368 00:14:08,230 --> 00:14:06,240 i just remembered straight away as you 369 00:14:10,870 --> 00:14:08,240 said that clifford geertz he's a 370 00:14:13,189 --> 00:14:10,880 cultural anthropologist and very 371 00:14:17,269 --> 00:14:13,199 influential he was maybe the most cited 372 00:14:19,829 --> 00:14:17,279 of any anthropologist in the last decade 373 00:14:23,350 --> 00:14:19,839 he said explicitly 374 00:14:25,350 --> 00:14:23,360 that he got into the academy when it 375 00:14:26,870 --> 00:14:25,360 opened up during that time that you were 376 00:14:30,230 --> 00:14:26,880 mentioning that there was an 377 00:14:31,350 --> 00:14:30,240 explosion of positions in the university 378 00:14:33,269 --> 00:14:31,360 system 379 00:14:34,710 --> 00:14:33,279 and that he got in at the right time 380 00:14:37,670 --> 00:14:34,720 during the way 381 00:14:38,470 --> 00:14:37,680 and i and he was really influential with 382 00:14:39,750 --> 00:14:38,480 just 383 00:14:41,509 --> 00:14:39,760 changing 384 00:14:44,710 --> 00:14:41,519 anthropology from something that you 385 00:14:46,870 --> 00:14:44,720 could empirically and 386 00:14:49,430 --> 00:14:46,880 sort of objectively analyze that you 387 00:14:51,269 --> 00:14:49,440 could really have discussions about 388 00:14:52,710 --> 00:14:51,279 measurable facts 389 00:14:55,110 --> 00:14:52,720 to something that is 390 00:14:56,150 --> 00:14:55,120 postmodern that you just it's just an 391 00:14:57,829 --> 00:14:56,160 opinion 392 00:15:00,230 --> 00:14:57,839 and the meaning of words are just 393 00:15:01,910 --> 00:15:00,240 completely turned around and twisted and 394 00:15:04,470 --> 00:15:01,920 so you can't really even 395 00:15:06,310 --> 00:15:04,480 have a discussion about facts anymore 396 00:15:10,310 --> 00:15:06,320 anthropology 397 00:15:13,430 --> 00:15:10,320 and 398 00:15:15,350 --> 00:15:13,440 this just reminds me that um 399 00:15:17,269 --> 00:15:15,360 looking at from a conspiratorial angle 400 00:15:18,550 --> 00:15:17,279 that if you want to 401 00:15:20,069 --> 00:15:18,560 take over 402 00:15:21,509 --> 00:15:20,079 a faculty 403 00:15:23,269 --> 00:15:21,519 at a university 404 00:15:25,189 --> 00:15:23,279 you would open up 405 00:15:26,790 --> 00:15:25,199 the number of positions 406 00:15:28,710 --> 00:15:26,800 get your people in 407 00:15:30,710 --> 00:15:28,720 who are on your side 408 00:15:31,910 --> 00:15:30,720 and then once they're in like let's say 409 00:15:34,389 --> 00:15:31,920 you've got 410 00:15:36,230 --> 00:15:34,399 half of the faculty who are 411 00:15:38,629 --> 00:15:36,240 more just old-school who are just 412 00:15:40,069 --> 00:15:38,639 interested in the material you open it 413 00:15:40,949 --> 00:15:40,079 up so that there are twice as many 414 00:15:43,590 --> 00:15:40,959 people 415 00:15:46,150 --> 00:15:43,600 but you're hiring the ones that you want 416 00:15:47,749 --> 00:15:46,160 and then you constrict it again 417 00:15:49,189 --> 00:15:47,759 like a funnel just 418 00:15:51,749 --> 00:15:49,199 constricting more and more and that's 419 00:15:53,269 --> 00:15:51,759 what's happening maybe 420 00:15:55,110 --> 00:15:53,279 that's quite brilliant i hadn't heard of 421 00:15:56,710 --> 00:15:55,120 that before but doesn't that make a lot 422 00:15:58,069 --> 00:15:56,720 of sense that's that's really quite 423 00:16:00,550 --> 00:15:58,079 interesting 424 00:16:03,189 --> 00:16:00,560 yeah so so nelson what what should we 425 00:16:05,749 --> 00:16:03,199 there's so many interesting 426 00:16:07,430 --> 00:16:05,759 things we could talk about again we've 427 00:16:09,509 --> 00:16:07,440 had this wonderful wonderful 428 00:16:11,110 --> 00:16:09,519 relationship it's so cool to talk to you 429 00:16:14,069 --> 00:16:11,120 for the first time but 430 00:16:16,470 --> 00:16:14,079 i i can't i say this all the time but 431 00:16:18,310 --> 00:16:16,480 you know i feel connected to you just 432 00:16:20,550 --> 00:16:18,320 through the emails and the forum and 433 00:16:22,389 --> 00:16:20,560 over the years and this connection we 434 00:16:24,550 --> 00:16:22,399 have through the show and it's it is 435 00:16:26,870 --> 00:16:24,560 great to talk to you but it doesn't feel 436 00:16:29,749 --> 00:16:26,880 even like it's the first time talking to 437 00:16:31,670 --> 00:16:29,759 you even though it is but in the in 438 00:16:33,670 --> 00:16:31,680 recently we've had an email exchange 439 00:16:36,470 --> 00:16:33,680 that is really 440 00:16:37,749 --> 00:16:36,480 i don't know just taken blown my mind as 441 00:16:39,749 --> 00:16:37,759 i said earlier and there's a couple 442 00:16:41,350 --> 00:16:39,759 different parts of that that we would 443 00:16:43,670 --> 00:16:41,360 might want to talk about where do you 444 00:16:46,310 --> 00:16:43,680 think we might start what's on what's on 445 00:16:49,030 --> 00:16:46,320 your agenda 446 00:16:51,110 --> 00:16:49,040 okay first off i have to give credit to 447 00:16:54,710 --> 00:16:51,120 marti gaza who is a 448 00:16:56,870 --> 00:16:54,720 an expert on the field of ufos 449 00:16:58,870 --> 00:16:56,880 and he did this amazing series on 450 00:17:01,430 --> 00:16:58,880 brothers of the certain podcast with 451 00:17:03,910 --> 00:17:01,440 whom you've had interviews before 452 00:17:05,270 --> 00:17:03,920 and he did the series on ufos and i 453 00:17:06,069 --> 00:17:05,280 believe if i'm 454 00:17:07,829 --> 00:17:06,079 um 455 00:17:08,870 --> 00:17:07,839 remembering correctly that marty was 456 00:17:11,189 --> 00:17:08,880 actually a 457 00:17:13,590 --> 00:17:11,199 consultant at fox news 458 00:17:14,789 --> 00:17:13,600 for one of their shows on ufos that he 459 00:17:16,870 --> 00:17:14,799 was 460 00:17:19,270 --> 00:17:16,880 the expert that they had where people 461 00:17:21,510 --> 00:17:19,280 would call in about their sightings and 462 00:17:24,069 --> 00:17:21,520 marty would then analyze the likelihood 463 00:17:24,949 --> 00:17:24,079 that that actually was a ufo not just 464 00:17:28,309 --> 00:17:24,959 some 465 00:17:29,830 --> 00:17:28,319 aircraft 466 00:17:32,070 --> 00:17:29,840 and so 467 00:17:33,510 --> 00:17:32,080 if anyone wants to see this then in more 468 00:17:36,150 --> 00:17:33,520 detail than 469 00:17:39,029 --> 00:17:36,160 this uh series with marty on brothers of 470 00:17:40,310 --> 00:17:39,039 a certain podcast or just to say that 471 00:17:41,750 --> 00:17:40,320 and 472 00:17:44,710 --> 00:17:41,760 this really just 473 00:17:48,630 --> 00:17:44,720 this series blew my mind and 474 00:17:50,470 --> 00:17:48,640 he comes from this study looking ufo 475 00:17:52,150 --> 00:17:50,480 whereas i come from 476 00:17:53,510 --> 00:17:52,160 the perspective of 477 00:17:55,029 --> 00:17:53,520 academically 478 00:17:56,390 --> 00:17:55,039 studying and teaching 479 00:17:58,230 --> 00:17:56,400 mythology 480 00:18:00,150 --> 00:17:58,240 ancient religions 481 00:18:02,150 --> 00:18:00,160 and just the way that people thought 482 00:18:04,470 --> 00:18:02,160 back in the ancient world 483 00:18:06,789 --> 00:18:04,480 and so the two of us we were talking on 484 00:18:07,750 --> 00:18:06,799 the brothers of the serpent discord 485 00:18:09,190 --> 00:18:07,760 forum 486 00:18:11,430 --> 00:18:09,200 marty and i 487 00:18:14,070 --> 00:18:11,440 and we did have some 488 00:18:16,789 --> 00:18:14,080 disagreements with details but just 489 00:18:19,590 --> 00:18:16,799 overall it was amazing how much 490 00:18:23,750 --> 00:18:19,600 there is this continuum between 491 00:18:25,909 --> 00:18:23,760 the phenomena in the ancient world of 492 00:18:28,310 --> 00:18:25,919 the myths talking of these 493 00:18:29,430 --> 00:18:28,320 beings which are far more powerful than 494 00:18:31,190 --> 00:18:29,440 humans 495 00:18:33,510 --> 00:18:31,200 who shape-shift 496 00:18:37,110 --> 00:18:33,520 who capricious who 497 00:18:39,510 --> 00:18:37,120 yet behave unpredictably that they can 498 00:18:42,950 --> 00:18:39,520 implant thoughts into people's minds 499 00:18:44,789 --> 00:18:42,960 abduct people at will and who can breed 500 00:18:46,950 --> 00:18:44,799 with people 501 00:18:49,430 --> 00:18:46,960 and then if we look at that 502 00:18:51,190 --> 00:18:49,440 as a general phenomena just looking at 503 00:18:53,430 --> 00:18:51,200 that as a 504 00:18:56,230 --> 00:18:53,440 as a pattern just as a 505 00:18:57,430 --> 00:18:56,240 as a meta-analysis we go then through 506 00:19:00,230 --> 00:18:57,440 folklore 507 00:19:03,029 --> 00:19:00,240 and speaking of exactly the same thing 508 00:19:04,710 --> 00:19:03,039 one of the greatest folklore researchers 509 00:19:07,029 --> 00:19:04,720 said that that's the main theme in 510 00:19:09,669 --> 00:19:07,039 folklore is 511 00:19:13,029 --> 00:19:09,679 basically hybridization between 512 00:19:15,190 --> 00:19:13,039 these entities and humans 513 00:19:16,630 --> 00:19:15,200 and then we go into the witch trials in 514 00:19:18,310 --> 00:19:16,640 the middle ages and coming into the 515 00:19:19,669 --> 00:19:18,320 early modern period 516 00:19:22,070 --> 00:19:19,679 where they're talking about the same 517 00:19:24,630 --> 00:19:22,080 things this is a central theme 518 00:19:26,390 --> 00:19:24,640 for instance the mallius melafocarum 519 00:19:27,830 --> 00:19:26,400 which is the main text of the witch 520 00:19:28,710 --> 00:19:27,840 trials 521 00:19:31,350 --> 00:19:28,720 is 522 00:19:33,590 --> 00:19:31,360 the interbreeding between humans and 523 00:19:35,830 --> 00:19:33,600 these demons as they call them but 524 00:19:38,789 --> 00:19:35,840 they're basically these these 525 00:19:40,950 --> 00:19:38,799 paranormal entities and then if we go 526 00:19:42,630 --> 00:19:40,960 further into ufology 527 00:19:44,630 --> 00:19:42,640 going way back 528 00:19:46,549 --> 00:19:44,640 as well before roswell and everything 529 00:19:48,710 --> 00:19:46,559 but we're getting into into this as well 530 00:19:51,029 --> 00:19:48,720 that there are these beings 531 00:19:54,230 --> 00:19:51,039 who are coming down from the sky or 532 00:19:58,230 --> 00:19:54,240 somehow appearing from the earth 533 00:19:59,430 --> 00:19:58,240 they seem extremely telepathic they can 534 00:20:01,350 --> 00:19:59,440 shape-shift 535 00:20:04,950 --> 00:20:01,360 seemingly well 536 00:20:07,510 --> 00:20:04,960 they're luminous and they can 537 00:20:08,710 --> 00:20:07,520 basically abduct people and breed with 538 00:20:09,669 --> 00:20:08,720 them 539 00:20:12,630 --> 00:20:09,679 and they're 540 00:20:14,710 --> 00:20:12,640 obsessed with bloodlines 541 00:20:16,950 --> 00:20:14,720 and they're creating this progeny which 542 00:20:19,510 --> 00:20:16,960 is a hybridization of 543 00:20:22,710 --> 00:20:19,520 human and what i will call in this 544 00:20:24,070 --> 00:20:22,720 interview just ufo being just as in 545 00:20:26,470 --> 00:20:24,080 quotation marks because it's very 546 00:20:28,710 --> 00:20:26,480 difficult to define what these entities 547 00:20:31,190 --> 00:20:28,720 are whether they're 548 00:20:32,230 --> 00:20:31,200 gods or some sort of consciousness or 549 00:20:34,870 --> 00:20:32,240 some sort of 550 00:20:35,750 --> 00:20:34,880 material purely material being if we 551 00:20:37,669 --> 00:20:35,760 want to call it we're going to 552 00:20:39,190 --> 00:20:37,679 interweave this discussion back to the 553 00:20:42,070 --> 00:20:39,200 first part of 554 00:20:44,230 --> 00:20:42,080 the controlled message and we're talking 555 00:20:46,549 --> 00:20:44,240 about the controlled message in academia 556 00:20:48,230 --> 00:20:46,559 which seems to be lying behind that you 557 00:20:51,350 --> 00:20:48,240 know why are things moving in a certain 558 00:20:53,590 --> 00:20:51,360 direction why is the theme kind of 559 00:20:55,750 --> 00:20:53,600 relativism and what i always point out 560 00:20:58,230 --> 00:20:55,760 why does it go back philosophically to 561 00:20:59,750 --> 00:20:58,240 materialism you are meaningless you are 562 00:21:01,110 --> 00:20:59,760 a biological robot which is the 563 00:21:03,029 --> 00:21:01,120 underlying 564 00:21:04,630 --> 00:21:03,039 point i think in the humanities and they 565 00:21:07,110 --> 00:21:04,640 don't even realize it because they're 566 00:21:08,549 --> 00:21:07,120 not tuned into consciousness really 567 00:21:10,950 --> 00:21:08,559 being the fundamental question in 568 00:21:12,789 --> 00:21:10,960 science so they don't even notice when 569 00:21:15,669 --> 00:21:12,799 someone is 570 00:21:18,470 --> 00:21:15,679 steering them in in a direction that 571 00:21:20,630 --> 00:21:18,480 leads towards affirming this kind of 572 00:21:22,070 --> 00:21:20,640 scientific materialism but i think 573 00:21:23,669 --> 00:21:22,080 that's the game 574 00:21:25,510 --> 00:21:23,679 at hand and you're nodding your head so 575 00:21:27,750 --> 00:21:25,520 i think we'd agree 576 00:21:29,350 --> 00:21:27,760 but i i i think 577 00:21:32,390 --> 00:21:29,360 i don't want to get too far off the 578 00:21:35,590 --> 00:21:32,400 trail but i i can't resist throwing this 579 00:21:37,110 --> 00:21:35,600 just little sub point on the table is i 580 00:21:41,430 --> 00:21:37,120 almost feel like 581 00:21:44,789 --> 00:21:41,440 when we keep talking about ufos and uaps 582 00:21:47,430 --> 00:21:44,799 there is a certain kind of conditioning 583 00:21:48,789 --> 00:21:47,440 psyop thing going on there because i 584 00:21:50,710 --> 00:21:48,799 can't believe the number of people i 585 00:21:53,830 --> 00:21:50,720 talk to and say well let's talk about 586 00:21:55,909 --> 00:21:53,840 e.t let's talk about abduction and 587 00:21:57,750 --> 00:21:55,919 there's they're they're resistant to 588 00:21:59,990 --> 00:21:57,760 going there and and there's like a 589 00:22:01,990 --> 00:22:00,000 pullback and it's like well i don't know 590 00:22:03,830 --> 00:22:02,000 i don't know how i feel about that i 591 00:22:06,470 --> 00:22:03,840 believe in 592 00:22:07,909 --> 00:22:06,480 ufos i believe but i'm not willing to go 593 00:22:10,230 --> 00:22:07,919 there and i'm like 594 00:22:13,110 --> 00:22:10,240 okay think that through for me and tell 595 00:22:15,270 --> 00:22:13,120 me how you're putting that together you 596 00:22:16,310 --> 00:22:15,280 know in in if you're if you're putting 597 00:22:18,789 --> 00:22:16,320 that together 598 00:22:21,990 --> 00:22:18,799 you know specifically in terms of saying 599 00:22:25,270 --> 00:22:22,000 well i think they're all drones operated 600 00:22:27,669 --> 00:22:25,280 you know then uh okay but it just seems 601 00:22:30,310 --> 00:22:27,679 to me that that what's been 602 00:22:33,029 --> 00:22:30,320 planted into the system is this kind of 603 00:22:36,230 --> 00:22:33,039 blot this almost mental block that like 604 00:22:37,590 --> 00:22:36,240 i will accept the evidence of the ufo 605 00:22:40,870 --> 00:22:37,600 uap 606 00:22:42,470 --> 00:22:40,880 but i won't even begin to go there with 607 00:22:44,310 --> 00:22:42,480 the et 608 00:22:46,230 --> 00:22:44,320 because it leads to all the things 609 00:22:48,950 --> 00:22:46,240 you're talking about it leads to 610 00:22:52,390 --> 00:22:48,960 abduction it leads to genetic 611 00:22:55,270 --> 00:22:52,400 manipulation it leads to what is our 612 00:22:57,350 --> 00:22:55,280 history how far back does our history go 613 00:22:59,510 --> 00:22:57,360 and of course it leads to 614 00:23:00,789 --> 00:22:59,520 the extended consciousness realm and 615 00:23:04,549 --> 00:23:00,799 what role 616 00:23:07,110 --> 00:23:04,559 are these beings entities whatever 617 00:23:09,510 --> 00:23:07,120 playing in that in that game in that 618 00:23:11,510 --> 00:23:09,520 extended field but if i can roll that 619 00:23:14,310 --> 00:23:11,520 back what do you think about that it's 620 00:23:15,830 --> 00:23:14,320 kind of a crazy idea i know but 621 00:23:17,909 --> 00:23:15,840 do you think there's anything to that 622 00:23:18,870 --> 00:23:17,919 nelson have you noticed 623 00:23:26,789 --> 00:23:18,880 that 624 00:23:29,510 --> 00:23:26,799 people have mentally between ufos and 625 00:23:32,789 --> 00:23:29,520 i have but i actually um experienced the 626 00:23:33,750 --> 00:23:32,799 ufo myself as i communicated two years 627 00:23:35,430 --> 00:23:33,760 ago 628 00:23:37,510 --> 00:23:35,440 and i just assumed that it was a nuts 629 00:23:38,390 --> 00:23:37,520 and bolts sort of craft 630 00:23:40,149 --> 00:23:38,400 and that 631 00:23:41,350 --> 00:23:40,159 it was just 632 00:23:43,430 --> 00:23:41,360 simple 633 00:23:44,390 --> 00:23:43,440 and just to very very briefly describe 634 00:23:49,430 --> 00:23:44,400 this 635 00:23:52,070 --> 00:23:49,440 a hostile in australia 636 00:23:54,950 --> 00:23:52,080 and he told me that he is in sort of a 637 00:23:56,630 --> 00:23:54,960 telepathic communication with ufos 638 00:23:58,710 --> 00:23:56,640 and then in this state where he lives in 639 00:24:01,029 --> 00:23:58,720 the us i think it was new mexico or 640 00:24:03,269 --> 00:24:01,039 arizona where it's really 641 00:24:04,789 --> 00:24:03,279 desert-like and clear skies he said that 642 00:24:06,630 --> 00:24:04,799 above his house 643 00:24:08,710 --> 00:24:06,640 every night there are these ufos and 644 00:24:10,390 --> 00:24:08,720 that they're all over the house 645 00:24:13,350 --> 00:24:10,400 and that he 646 00:24:15,190 --> 00:24:13,360 and his two sort of housemates that they 647 00:24:17,029 --> 00:24:15,200 have this telepathic communication with 648 00:24:18,710 --> 00:24:17,039 this light 649 00:24:20,630 --> 00:24:18,720 and i asked them how well to what extent 650 00:24:22,950 --> 00:24:20,640 is this connection that you had with 651 00:24:26,710 --> 00:24:22,960 them and he said that he can 652 00:24:28,630 --> 00:24:26,720 tell when these lights are in the sky 653 00:24:29,830 --> 00:24:28,640 telepathically and that they're not 654 00:24:32,710 --> 00:24:29,840 hostile 655 00:24:35,190 --> 00:24:32,720 but more than that he has no idea 656 00:24:37,669 --> 00:24:35,200 and so he was saying that 657 00:24:39,830 --> 00:24:37,679 this ufo had been following him around 658 00:24:42,470 --> 00:24:39,840 the whole world from america to 659 00:24:43,909 --> 00:24:42,480 australia when when we were backpacking 660 00:24:45,750 --> 00:24:43,919 just that 661 00:24:47,590 --> 00:24:45,760 it was present sometimes 662 00:24:49,190 --> 00:24:47,600 and so one night we're on the balcony of 663 00:24:52,470 --> 00:24:49,200 the hostel 664 00:24:55,190 --> 00:24:52,480 and it was the evening and he just said 665 00:24:57,190 --> 00:24:55,200 i can sense that this ufo is here now 666 00:24:59,110 --> 00:24:57,200 and we were looking in the sky 667 00:25:01,029 --> 00:24:59,120 and we saw him on the horizon towards 668 00:25:03,110 --> 00:25:01,039 the blue mountains towards the interior 669 00:25:05,510 --> 00:25:03,120 of australia this 670 00:25:07,430 --> 00:25:05,520 light which looked like a star 671 00:25:10,710 --> 00:25:07,440 and it started moving 672 00:25:11,990 --> 00:25:10,720 and it was in a zigzag like this 673 00:25:14,950 --> 00:25:12,000 and it was 674 00:25:16,950 --> 00:25:14,960 changing direction at a very sharp angle 675 00:25:19,430 --> 00:25:16,960 and not slowing down whatsoever 676 00:25:20,470 --> 00:25:19,440 and at this time i'd i'd only just heard 677 00:25:22,470 --> 00:25:20,480 very 678 00:25:24,470 --> 00:25:22,480 cursorily just 679 00:25:25,669 --> 00:25:24,480 what a ufo is supposed to be and i just 680 00:25:27,830 --> 00:25:25,679 assumed that there would probably be 681 00:25:30,870 --> 00:25:27,840 some sort of craft up there some flying 682 00:25:32,630 --> 00:25:30,880 saucer maybe that was making this light 683 00:25:34,149 --> 00:25:32,640 and so 684 00:25:35,590 --> 00:25:34,159 i was just amazed and was telling people 685 00:25:38,070 --> 00:25:35,600 in the hostel and one of the people in 686 00:25:39,750 --> 00:25:38,080 the hostel there in sydney 687 00:25:41,269 --> 00:25:39,760 in the kitchen of the hostel he said no 688 00:25:43,269 --> 00:25:41,279 you should be careful with these lights 689 00:25:44,789 --> 00:25:43,279 there prophesied in the book of 690 00:25:46,070 --> 00:25:44,799 revelations and that they're from the 691 00:25:48,549 --> 00:25:46,080 devil 692 00:25:50,870 --> 00:25:48,559 and he was very adamant about this and 693 00:25:53,190 --> 00:25:50,880 i just got a bit concerned that if you 694 00:25:55,430 --> 00:25:53,200 tell people that they have all of these 695 00:25:57,430 --> 00:25:55,440 these ideas these preconceived ideas of 696 00:25:59,190 --> 00:25:57,440 what these things are 697 00:26:01,029 --> 00:25:59,200 and for myself i just believed it was 698 00:26:04,230 --> 00:26:01,039 nuts and bolts right 699 00:26:06,230 --> 00:26:04,240 and then i was talking to you 700 00:26:07,990 --> 00:26:06,240 years later and 701 00:26:08,870 --> 00:26:08,000 in the form they're skeptical and i was 702 00:26:11,029 --> 00:26:08,880 just 703 00:26:12,630 --> 00:26:11,039 telling this other experience that i had 704 00:26:14,630 --> 00:26:12,640 of this 705 00:26:16,789 --> 00:26:14,640 reincarnation flashback which i'll call 706 00:26:18,470 --> 00:26:16,799 it in quotation marks 707 00:26:20,070 --> 00:26:18,480 and it was that 708 00:26:22,630 --> 00:26:20,080 at the hostel there in australia in 709 00:26:24,470 --> 00:26:22,640 sydney it was in the evening 710 00:26:27,029 --> 00:26:24,480 and i was walking from the hostel to the 711 00:26:28,549 --> 00:26:27,039 beach about 50 meters away 712 00:26:30,950 --> 00:26:28,559 and i was at the car park between the 713 00:26:32,870 --> 00:26:30,960 hostel and the beach 714 00:26:35,269 --> 00:26:32,880 and then suddenly i could feel this 715 00:26:37,590 --> 00:26:35,279 energy in my body this uh 716 00:26:39,990 --> 00:26:37,600 energy flow got very strong going up and 717 00:26:42,070 --> 00:26:40,000 down from head to toe 718 00:26:44,470 --> 00:26:42,080 and then suddenly i couldn't move 719 00:26:47,430 --> 00:26:44,480 and i just stood there 720 00:26:48,870 --> 00:26:47,440 in the middle of the night there and 721 00:26:50,390 --> 00:26:48,880 no alcohol or drugs or anything like 722 00:26:53,110 --> 00:26:50,400 that i don't take drugs or anything just 723 00:26:53,830 --> 00:26:53,120 to make clear and so i was just standing 724 00:26:55,830 --> 00:26:53,840 there 725 00:26:59,029 --> 00:26:55,840 feeling this energy and couldn't move a 726 00:27:01,909 --> 00:26:59,039 muscle and then suddenly everything went 727 00:27:03,909 --> 00:27:01,919 blindingly white electric white sort of 728 00:27:06,149 --> 00:27:03,919 light 729 00:27:07,909 --> 00:27:06,159 and then slowly out of this whiteness 730 00:27:09,990 --> 00:27:07,919 and i could i couldn't feel my body 731 00:27:12,789 --> 00:27:10,000 anymore i couldn't sense time 732 00:27:15,990 --> 00:27:12,799 i saw out of this whiteness this scene 733 00:27:19,190 --> 00:27:16,000 before my eyes of this landscape which 734 00:27:21,110 --> 00:27:19,200 somehow i knew was in the ancient past 735 00:27:24,630 --> 00:27:21,120 and i was looking down on this river 736 00:27:26,870 --> 00:27:24,640 valley which was arid the valley but 737 00:27:29,190 --> 00:27:26,880 by the river was this temple 738 00:27:30,630 --> 00:27:29,200 and on the portico of the temple was 739 00:27:31,909 --> 00:27:30,640 this figure 740 00:27:34,789 --> 00:27:31,919 who was 741 00:27:37,029 --> 00:27:34,799 dressed in white clothes he had a 742 00:27:39,269 --> 00:27:37,039 bald head shaved head 743 00:27:40,710 --> 00:27:39,279 and i was looking down at him and 744 00:27:43,350 --> 00:27:40,720 somehow i knew 745 00:27:45,669 --> 00:27:43,360 that this was a previous incarnation 746 00:27:47,590 --> 00:27:45,679 of an egyptian priest and that i was 747 00:27:50,149 --> 00:27:47,600 watching him 748 00:27:51,750 --> 00:27:50,159 as a past life experience 749 00:27:53,830 --> 00:27:51,760 and i don't know how long i witnessed 750 00:27:54,630 --> 00:27:53,840 this for but then 751 00:27:57,990 --> 00:27:54,640 the 752 00:27:59,669 --> 00:27:58,000 whiteness came back 753 00:28:01,990 --> 00:27:59,679 it's electric light and then i could 754 00:28:03,830 --> 00:28:02,000 sense my body again and the energy was 755 00:28:05,269 --> 00:28:03,840 just flowing 756 00:28:07,190 --> 00:28:05,279 up and down 757 00:28:10,549 --> 00:28:07,200 shaking my body 758 00:28:12,950 --> 00:28:10,559 and i could slowly start to move again 759 00:28:14,310 --> 00:28:12,960 and that was my reincarnation experience 760 00:28:16,230 --> 00:28:14,320 and this would become 761 00:28:18,230 --> 00:28:16,240 more important as we discuss what this 762 00:28:20,230 --> 00:28:18,240 could have actually meant because it's 763 00:28:22,310 --> 00:28:20,240 very existential and has 764 00:28:24,950 --> 00:28:22,320 your view listeners will 765 00:28:27,430 --> 00:28:24,960 notice the similarities between what i 766 00:28:28,950 --> 00:28:27,440 just described in near-death experiences 767 00:28:29,750 --> 00:28:28,960 as well 768 00:28:31,669 --> 00:28:29,760 but 769 00:28:34,070 --> 00:28:31,679 i told you about this reincarnation 770 00:28:36,389 --> 00:28:34,080 flashback on the forum 771 00:28:37,510 --> 00:28:36,399 and then you said and and then you said 772 00:28:39,269 --> 00:28:37,520 to me 773 00:28:41,430 --> 00:28:39,279 that there is research 774 00:28:43,830 --> 00:28:41,440 that ufo experiences 775 00:28:47,029 --> 00:28:43,840 and near-death experiences are often 776 00:28:49,029 --> 00:28:47,039 within a short period of each other 777 00:28:50,950 --> 00:28:49,039 and that just blew my mind when i heard 778 00:28:53,350 --> 00:28:50,960 that because i thought straight away of 779 00:28:55,430 --> 00:28:53,360 this reincarnation flashback 780 00:28:57,510 --> 00:28:55,440 and how similar this is to a near-death 781 00:29:00,630 --> 00:28:57,520 experience and that this 782 00:29:02,230 --> 00:29:00,640 flashback was within a few days of 783 00:29:03,510 --> 00:29:02,240 seeing the ufo 784 00:29:05,350 --> 00:29:03,520 at the hostel 785 00:29:08,149 --> 00:29:05,360 after this friend of mine had left 786 00:29:10,070 --> 00:29:08,159 australia back to america i was looking 787 00:29:11,510 --> 00:29:10,080 at the sky every evening 788 00:29:12,389 --> 00:29:11,520 and 789 00:29:15,590 --> 00:29:12,399 within 790 00:29:18,389 --> 00:29:15,600 two days i think it was of him leaving 791 00:29:20,789 --> 00:29:18,399 i saw this this starlight light in the 792 00:29:22,870 --> 00:29:20,799 sky doing this again this time on the 793 00:29:25,350 --> 00:29:22,880 other horizon towards the 794 00:29:27,350 --> 00:29:25,360 pacific and it was on the horizon moving 795 00:29:29,350 --> 00:29:27,360 in that characteristic shape 796 00:29:31,350 --> 00:29:29,360 and then it suddenly just went down and 797 00:29:33,669 --> 00:29:31,360 i don't know if it went over the horizon 798 00:29:35,029 --> 00:29:33,679 or into the sea 799 00:29:36,710 --> 00:29:35,039 but 800 00:29:39,510 --> 00:29:36,720 yeah that was what happened basically 801 00:29:41,590 --> 00:29:39,520 and the reincarnation flashback was 802 00:29:45,110 --> 00:29:41,600 within this 803 00:29:47,350 --> 00:29:45,120 week to 10 long a 10-day long period 804 00:29:50,149 --> 00:29:47,360 so it's extremely unlikely that that was 805 00:29:52,870 --> 00:29:50,159 a coincidence i feel 806 00:29:56,149 --> 00:29:52,880 yeah there does seem to be something to 807 00:29:58,870 --> 00:29:56,159 the opening up to this extended realm 808 00:30:01,269 --> 00:29:58,880 and i'm always hesitant to 809 00:30:02,870 --> 00:30:01,279 go too far there because 810 00:30:05,269 --> 00:30:02,880 fundamentally 811 00:30:08,149 --> 00:30:05,279 we don't understand consciousness 812 00:30:09,669 --> 00:30:08,159 and that's been my that's in my gig my 813 00:30:11,909 --> 00:30:09,679 soapbox for 814 00:30:15,190 --> 00:30:11,919 10 years is until we 815 00:30:17,590 --> 00:30:15,200 can admit okay we don't understand it 816 00:30:19,110 --> 00:30:17,600 we don't really know how to process a 817 00:30:21,990 --> 00:30:19,120 lot of this stuff 818 00:30:23,669 --> 00:30:22,000 and i i just continue to continue to go 819 00:30:26,789 --> 00:30:23,679 there i mean the fundamental question is 820 00:30:29,029 --> 00:30:26,799 is consciousness fundamental 821 00:30:32,070 --> 00:30:29,039 because if consciousness is fundamental 822 00:30:33,990 --> 00:30:32,080 and all is emerging out of consciousness 823 00:30:35,269 --> 00:30:34,000 well then it's a different game and and 824 00:30:38,549 --> 00:30:35,279 that is the 825 00:30:40,470 --> 00:30:38,559 essentially when we go to the spiritual 826 00:30:41,830 --> 00:30:40,480 that's what the the spiritual wisdom 827 00:30:44,070 --> 00:30:41,840 traditions 828 00:30:46,149 --> 00:30:44,080 especially the ones that i'm been most 829 00:30:48,710 --> 00:30:46,159 tuned into the yogic ones i mean that's 830 00:30:51,110 --> 00:30:48,720 what they've always said is that 831 00:30:52,789 --> 00:30:51,120 it's all an illusion it's all maya so 832 00:30:55,590 --> 00:30:52,799 it's all 833 00:30:58,470 --> 00:30:55,600 a play and there does seem to be a 834 00:31:00,549 --> 00:30:58,480 certain truth to that and but that would 835 00:31:02,789 --> 00:31:00,559 that would cause us to look at all of 836 00:31:05,029 --> 00:31:02,799 this stuff differently all of this 837 00:31:05,830 --> 00:31:05,039 completely differently you know 838 00:31:08,549 --> 00:31:05,840 and 839 00:31:10,789 --> 00:31:08,559 i think we don't really want to go there 840 00:31:13,029 --> 00:31:10,799 right away at least we want to sit here 841 00:31:15,509 --> 00:31:13,039 and try and figure it out but i always 842 00:31:18,789 --> 00:31:15,519 want to kind of bracket the discussion 843 00:31:20,549 --> 00:31:18,799 of figuring it out with this idea that 844 00:31:22,389 --> 00:31:20,559 at some fundamental level we don't 845 00:31:24,230 --> 00:31:22,399 really understand 846 00:31:25,750 --> 00:31:24,240 we don't understand what past life 847 00:31:26,549 --> 00:31:25,760 memories 848 00:31:28,070 --> 00:31:26,559 are 849 00:31:30,710 --> 00:31:28,080 and i think 850 00:31:34,070 --> 00:31:30,720 like if i just throw my two cents in one 851 00:31:36,870 --> 00:31:34,080 of the misunderstandings that i think 852 00:31:39,909 --> 00:31:36,880 a lot of people leap to 853 00:31:42,149 --> 00:31:39,919 is if you if you listen to jim tucker 854 00:31:44,070 --> 00:31:42,159 from the university of virginia 855 00:31:45,990 --> 00:31:44,080 and you watch the cases that he's 856 00:31:47,990 --> 00:31:46,000 reviewed or you read about the cases and 857 00:31:50,149 --> 00:31:48,000 you read the peer-reviewed 858 00:31:52,310 --> 00:31:50,159 journals and you look at the science 859 00:31:54,310 --> 00:31:52,320 behind it you know the correlation 860 00:31:57,350 --> 00:31:54,320 between 861 00:31:59,430 --> 00:31:57,360 violent death and birth marks i mean 862 00:32:01,990 --> 00:31:59,440 gosh you can't get i mean that's 863 00:32:04,230 --> 00:32:02,000 uh it's pretty hard to 864 00:32:07,350 --> 00:32:04,240 hard to walk away from and if you just 865 00:32:09,669 --> 00:32:07,360 look at the number of cases they get 866 00:32:11,029 --> 00:32:09,679 that are vile that that have a 867 00:32:13,430 --> 00:32:11,039 reincarnation 868 00:32:15,990 --> 00:32:13,440 memory associated with it and have a 869 00:32:18,230 --> 00:32:16,000 violent death associated with it 870 00:32:20,710 --> 00:32:18,240 compared to the general population well 871 00:32:23,990 --> 00:32:20,720 that jumps out too as a statistical 872 00:32:26,789 --> 00:32:24,000 anomaly and then of course 873 00:32:29,430 --> 00:32:26,799 that's a folk tradition in india as well 874 00:32:31,590 --> 00:32:29,440 i learned meditation in india and just 875 00:32:32,950 --> 00:32:31,600 spent time in the countryside and 876 00:32:34,549 --> 00:32:32,960 talked with the people and this is a 877 00:32:37,029 --> 00:32:34,559 folk belief 878 00:32:39,590 --> 00:32:37,039 of exactly what you say so 879 00:32:41,430 --> 00:32:39,600 the science and the folk tradition is 880 00:32:43,110 --> 00:32:41,440 showing the same thing again 881 00:32:44,789 --> 00:32:43,120 so it seems very unlikely that that 882 00:32:46,950 --> 00:32:44,799 would be coincident 883 00:32:48,310 --> 00:32:46,960 yeah that's great i'm glad i'm glad you 884 00:32:49,590 --> 00:32:48,320 threw that in there 885 00:32:51,110 --> 00:32:49,600 so 886 00:32:53,669 --> 00:32:51,120 back i just wanted to go back to your 887 00:32:55,430 --> 00:32:53,679 question originally about 888 00:32:58,310 --> 00:32:55,440 the psyop angle 889 00:32:59,590 --> 00:32:58,320 and if there is a style that the ufo 890 00:33:01,350 --> 00:32:59,600 phenomena 891 00:33:04,070 --> 00:33:01,360 is just being 892 00:33:06,389 --> 00:33:04,080 narrated as nuts and bolts right 893 00:33:08,310 --> 00:33:06,399 and i believe that there is this just if 894 00:33:10,230 --> 00:33:08,320 you look at the pattern 895 00:33:13,029 --> 00:33:10,240 they just want the simple narrative that 896 00:33:15,830 --> 00:33:13,039 is just reductive materialistic 897 00:33:17,509 --> 00:33:15,840 that it's a threat maybe they can create 898 00:33:19,350 --> 00:33:17,519 the problem reaction solution they can 899 00:33:22,830 --> 00:33:19,360 create this one world government through 900 00:33:25,830 --> 00:33:22,840 this a global threat therefore a global 901 00:33:27,430 --> 00:33:25,840 solution being a con on a conspiratorial 902 00:33:29,590 --> 00:33:27,440 angle but you see even this with with 903 00:33:31,430 --> 00:33:29,600 valet for instance 904 00:33:33,750 --> 00:33:31,440 hold on before we before we jump into 905 00:33:35,430 --> 00:33:33,760 valet which is a whole other thing i 906 00:33:36,710 --> 00:33:35,440 want to comment on what you just said 907 00:33:39,590 --> 00:33:36,720 because 908 00:33:41,990 --> 00:33:39,600 when you were telling me about 909 00:33:44,149 --> 00:33:42,000 your story 910 00:33:45,669 --> 00:33:44,159 the one thing that flashed to me 911 00:33:47,509 --> 00:33:45,679 which is is 912 00:33:49,509 --> 00:33:47,519 another crazy angle and when you first 913 00:33:51,509 --> 00:33:49,519 started talking you said you know we're 914 00:33:54,070 --> 00:33:51,519 gonna have to be willing to go to that 915 00:33:55,990 --> 00:33:54,080 next level i always call it level three 916 00:33:59,029 --> 00:33:56,000 inside baseball where we may lose some 917 00:34:00,870 --> 00:33:59,039 people but that's okay you know we just 918 00:34:03,590 --> 00:34:00,880 oh no no it's no problem 919 00:34:06,470 --> 00:34:03,600 we just have to go where it takes us 920 00:34:09,109 --> 00:34:06,480 but nelson what i thought about is that 921 00:34:12,069 --> 00:34:09,119 when when you were talking about seeing 922 00:34:14,389 --> 00:34:12,079 the uh ufo and thinking that it's nuts 923 00:34:16,550 --> 00:34:14,399 and bolts the first thought i would 924 00:34:18,389 --> 00:34:16,560 oh my god this sounds like so many of 925 00:34:21,750 --> 00:34:18,399 the screen memory 926 00:34:23,030 --> 00:34:21,760 things that you hear from ufo from e.t 927 00:34:26,310 --> 00:34:23,040 abductees 928 00:34:27,750 --> 00:34:26,320 right you'll you'll hear about this 929 00:34:29,589 --> 00:34:27,760 over and over again you know i just 930 00:34:31,430 --> 00:34:29,599 interviewed a guy named ralph blumenthal 931 00:34:32,629 --> 00:34:31,440 who's a new york times reporter and 932 00:34:35,270 --> 00:34:32,639 maybe we'll come back to him but he 933 00:34:37,109 --> 00:34:35,280 wrote a terrific biography on john mack 934 00:34:39,589 --> 00:34:37,119 and john mack was a of course the 935 00:34:41,510 --> 00:34:39,599 harvard professor who got interested in 936 00:34:44,069 --> 00:34:41,520 people who had these abduction 937 00:34:45,589 --> 00:34:44,079 experiences and he said wow i'm a 938 00:34:47,909 --> 00:34:45,599 i'm one of the world's leading 939 00:34:50,230 --> 00:34:47,919 psychiatrists i know when people are 940 00:34:52,230 --> 00:34:50,240 making stuff up these people are not 941 00:34:54,869 --> 00:34:52,240 making this stuff up 942 00:34:55,990 --> 00:34:54,879 part of that experience is this screen 943 00:35:00,310 --> 00:34:56,000 memory 944 00:35:03,510 --> 00:35:00,320 you are okay you have in its often very 945 00:35:06,230 --> 00:35:03,520 simple kind of 946 00:35:08,870 --> 00:35:06,240 ideas that that are almost like 947 00:35:09,910 --> 00:35:08,880 you know nursery school level rhymes 948 00:35:12,150 --> 00:35:09,920 kind of thing 949 00:35:14,310 --> 00:35:12,160 but what what it it 950 00:35:16,630 --> 00:35:14,320 i just had an instant connection with 951 00:35:18,390 --> 00:35:16,640 what you were talking about there's 952 00:35:22,390 --> 00:35:18,400 nothing to worry about 953 00:35:24,790 --> 00:35:22,400 this is just a nuts and bolts machine 954 00:35:26,710 --> 00:35:24,800 you know it's like it's such an 955 00:35:29,589 --> 00:35:26,720 oversimplified 956 00:35:31,349 --> 00:35:29,599 explanation for what you're experiencing 957 00:35:33,430 --> 00:35:31,359 that it did pop to mind that it could 958 00:35:35,910 --> 00:35:33,440 potentially be a screen memory and that 959 00:35:37,990 --> 00:35:35,920 doesn't preclude it from being all those 960 00:35:40,390 --> 00:35:38,000 other things that you're saying too it 961 00:35:42,790 --> 00:35:40,400 would just suggest that there maybe is 962 00:35:44,790 --> 00:35:42,800 some cooperation between 963 00:35:46,870 --> 00:35:44,800 whoever is implanting some of those 964 00:35:50,310 --> 00:35:46,880 screen memories and your idea which i 965 00:35:52,790 --> 00:35:50,320 think is is my conclusion too is that of 966 00:35:55,190 --> 00:35:52,800 course you want people to think that it 967 00:35:57,990 --> 00:35:55,200 is a nuts and bolts of course you want 968 00:36:01,670 --> 00:35:58,000 people to think in down a materialistic 969 00:36:03,910 --> 00:36:01,680 science standpoint because you hit the 970 00:36:06,870 --> 00:36:03,920 nail on the head i think then it becomes 971 00:36:10,069 --> 00:36:06,880 a military threat then it becomes the 972 00:36:14,230 --> 00:36:10,079 impetus for us to further control and 973 00:36:16,310 --> 00:36:14,240 use our standard playbook of military 974 00:36:18,710 --> 00:36:16,320 industrial complex we're going to 975 00:36:20,310 --> 00:36:18,720 protect you kind of thing it all fits 976 00:36:22,390 --> 00:36:20,320 together 977 00:36:23,750 --> 00:36:22,400 before we jump on i have like five other 978 00:36:25,270 --> 00:36:23,760 topics that you've already kind of 979 00:36:27,510 --> 00:36:25,280 brought up that i want to 980 00:36:29,430 --> 00:36:27,520 get back to including the past lives 981 00:36:31,910 --> 00:36:29,440 memory thing 982 00:36:34,230 --> 00:36:31,920 but did i did i kind of get that right 983 00:36:35,990 --> 00:36:34,240 and i kind of took it one step further 984 00:36:38,150 --> 00:36:36,000 with perhaps 985 00:36:39,670 --> 00:36:38,160 et is 986 00:36:42,710 --> 00:36:39,680 part of that 987 00:36:44,790 --> 00:36:42,720 planting that screen memory of 988 00:36:46,550 --> 00:36:44,800 don't worry it's just it's just an 989 00:36:49,829 --> 00:36:46,560 object it's just nuts and bolts it's 990 00:36:51,910 --> 00:36:49,839 just a machine in the sky 991 00:36:52,829 --> 00:36:51,920 so how would you define screen memory by 992 00:36:55,589 --> 00:36:52,839 the 993 00:36:58,950 --> 00:36:55,599 way well screen memory isn't so much my 994 00:37:00,390 --> 00:36:58,960 term it's just a common term among 995 00:37:03,829 --> 00:37:00,400 abductees 996 00:37:06,390 --> 00:37:03,839 that they feel like and it's also a term 997 00:37:08,390 --> 00:37:06,400 that is used for people who have 998 00:37:10,870 --> 00:37:08,400 trauma disassociative identity 999 00:37:13,349 --> 00:37:10,880 kind of thing of where it's like in 1000 00:37:14,950 --> 00:37:13,359 hypnosis where there's a block you know 1001 00:37:16,870 --> 00:37:14,960 as soon as you start thinking about 1002 00:37:18,710 --> 00:37:16,880 something you're just blocked from going 1003 00:37:21,030 --> 00:37:18,720 any further 1004 00:37:23,349 --> 00:37:21,040 so the screen meant the screen memory 1005 00:37:24,710 --> 00:37:23,359 among the abduction community and i 1006 00:37:26,630 --> 00:37:24,720 don't want to overstate it because i'm 1007 00:37:29,349 --> 00:37:26,640 certainly not an expert 1008 00:37:33,109 --> 00:37:29,359 is implanted memory that when they 1009 00:37:35,589 --> 00:37:33,119 examine it further seems inconsistent 1010 00:37:37,510 --> 00:37:35,599 with what they would normally 1011 00:37:39,829 --> 00:37:37,520 how they would normally process the 1012 00:37:40,630 --> 00:37:39,839 situation you know what i mean so it's 1013 00:37:43,670 --> 00:37:40,640 just 1014 00:37:46,790 --> 00:37:43,680 stands out as kind of an unusual 1015 00:37:47,589 --> 00:37:46,800 implanted memory that doesn't exactly 1016 00:37:49,510 --> 00:37:47,599 fit 1017 00:37:51,510 --> 00:37:49,520 the scenario you know 1018 00:37:53,510 --> 00:37:51,520 why are my clothes why am i wearing 1019 00:37:55,109 --> 00:37:53,520 someone else's clothes you know it's 1020 00:37:57,030 --> 00:37:55,119 like well there's an explanation for 1021 00:37:58,950 --> 00:37:57,040 there's an explanation for everything 1022 00:38:01,589 --> 00:37:58,960 that pops into mind 1023 00:38:03,589 --> 00:38:01,599 that rationally doesn't make any sense 1024 00:38:06,230 --> 00:38:03,599 we always come back to the existential 1025 00:38:08,390 --> 00:38:06,240 question then with ufos 1026 00:38:10,230 --> 00:38:08,400 of consciousness the nature of 1027 00:38:12,230 --> 00:38:10,240 consciousness and 1028 00:38:13,829 --> 00:38:12,240 it reminds me so much of ndes as well 1029 00:38:15,990 --> 00:38:13,839 we'll get to this in a second 1030 00:38:17,430 --> 00:38:16,000 i think later on that 1031 00:38:20,630 --> 00:38:17,440 there's this 1032 00:38:24,150 --> 00:38:20,640 seemingly absurd or irrational 1033 00:38:26,470 --> 00:38:24,160 bizarreness even of of this phenomena 1034 00:38:28,630 --> 00:38:26,480 that is difficult to really 1035 00:38:30,470 --> 00:38:28,640 just make sense of 1036 00:38:32,710 --> 00:38:30,480 and this is one of the reasons why i 1037 00:38:36,069 --> 00:38:32,720 started to question what 1038 00:38:37,030 --> 00:38:36,079 these ndes actually could be 1039 00:38:38,710 --> 00:38:37,040 and 1040 00:38:40,710 --> 00:38:38,720 i do you want me to get into that now 1041 00:38:42,069 --> 00:38:40,720 actually what maybe maybe let's pause 1042 00:38:43,510 --> 00:38:42,079 let's pause on that for a second because 1043 00:38:46,550 --> 00:38:43,520 i kind of wanted to finish 1044 00:38:48,870 --> 00:38:46,560 a point that i was i maybe i was not 1045 00:38:51,910 --> 00:38:48,880 getting there fast enough but 1046 00:38:54,550 --> 00:38:51,920 with the past life memories 1047 00:38:55,829 --> 00:38:54,560 the one problem i see with that is like 1048 00:38:58,630 --> 00:38:55,839 like i was saying you know you can go 1049 00:39:00,150 --> 00:38:58,640 down the jim tucker path and the science 1050 00:39:02,069 --> 00:39:00,160 that the university of virginia has 1051 00:39:04,630 --> 00:39:02,079 compiled on that and you walk away and 1052 00:39:06,550 --> 00:39:04,640 you go wow and and the one thing that 1053 00:39:08,870 --> 00:39:06,560 strikes you is the big lie you know wow 1054 00:39:11,589 --> 00:39:08,880 how can science ignore this this is 1055 00:39:13,430 --> 00:39:11,599 overwhelming data that's replicated over 1056 00:39:15,510 --> 00:39:13,440 and over again and jim tucker is doing 1057 00:39:17,990 --> 00:39:15,520 the right thing he just says i'm just 1058 00:39:19,990 --> 00:39:18,000 compiling more and more and more data 1059 00:39:21,589 --> 00:39:20,000 more case work doing it as carefully as 1060 00:39:23,670 --> 00:39:21,599 i can and you can appreciate this from 1061 00:39:25,190 --> 00:39:23,680 your academic background is i'm just 1062 00:39:28,150 --> 00:39:25,200 going to pile it up and i'm going to 1063 00:39:30,470 --> 00:39:28,160 stack the corded wood with uh cases from 1064 00:39:32,310 --> 00:39:30,480 the north america as well because 1065 00:39:34,230 --> 00:39:32,320 there's a certain amount of dismissing 1066 00:39:37,109 --> 00:39:34,240 this because they're from india or sri 1067 00:39:39,430 --> 00:39:37,119 lanka but the the problem with that is 1068 00:39:41,430 --> 00:39:39,440 that then i think a lot of people take 1069 00:39:43,270 --> 00:39:41,440 the next step and i am unwilling to take 1070 00:39:46,310 --> 00:39:43,280 that next step the next step is to 1071 00:39:48,710 --> 00:39:46,320 suggest that it is literally true 1072 00:39:51,430 --> 00:39:48,720 that you are literally literally 1073 00:39:54,230 --> 00:39:51,440 remembering a past life 1074 00:39:56,870 --> 00:39:54,240 and that you can understand that in the 1075 00:39:58,230 --> 00:39:56,880 context of your life and if you really 1076 00:39:59,829 --> 00:39:58,240 step back and look at that and that's 1077 00:40:01,829 --> 00:39:59,839 why i guess i would relate that back to 1078 00:40:04,630 --> 00:40:01,839 your story of the your past life or 1079 00:40:06,470 --> 00:40:04,640 memory or what you suspect is a past 1080 00:40:09,030 --> 00:40:06,480 life memory 1081 00:40:10,870 --> 00:40:09,040 of the ancient egypt 1082 00:40:11,829 --> 00:40:10,880 quotation marks as well that's why i did 1083 00:40:14,790 --> 00:40:11,839 put it in 1084 00:40:20,309 --> 00:40:17,270 i sense that you have that sensibility 1085 00:40:21,750 --> 00:40:20,319 which i think is great and i i i mean i 1086 00:40:24,150 --> 00:40:21,760 guess this is kind of even more of a 1087 00:40:26,390 --> 00:40:24,160 philosophical question but you're of 1088 00:40:28,309 --> 00:40:26,400 that mindset to to be the right guy to 1089 00:40:30,309 --> 00:40:28,319 talk about this is that 1090 00:40:32,470 --> 00:40:30,319 that is a recurring theme in this in 1091 00:40:36,309 --> 00:40:32,480 terms of how do we move forward how do 1092 00:40:39,109 --> 00:40:36,319 we use that that data that new data that 1093 00:40:40,390 --> 00:40:39,119 is trying to be uh suppressed and trying 1094 00:40:43,349 --> 00:40:40,400 to be 1095 00:40:45,510 --> 00:40:43,359 denied but then how do we not overstep 1096 00:40:46,950 --> 00:40:45,520 with it because and you understand the 1097 00:40:48,870 --> 00:40:46,960 implications what i'm you understand 1098 00:40:51,510 --> 00:40:48,880 where i'm going with that is that 1099 00:40:53,670 --> 00:40:51,520 past life memories do not only make 1100 00:40:56,390 --> 00:40:53,680 sense in linear time 1101 00:40:59,589 --> 00:40:56,400 and yet they're talking about escaping 1102 00:41:01,510 --> 00:40:59,599 time and space to have those memories so 1103 00:41:03,670 --> 00:41:01,520 there's an there's already an internal 1104 00:41:06,150 --> 00:41:03,680 contradiction that no one talks about 1105 00:41:08,550 --> 00:41:06,160 how can you have a past life memory what 1106 00:41:11,109 --> 00:41:08,560 does that mean why do you think your 1107 00:41:13,430 --> 00:41:11,119 life is primary are you living multiple 1108 00:41:15,270 --> 00:41:13,440 lives at the same time you know which 1109 00:41:17,190 --> 00:41:15,280 life is 1110 00:41:19,510 --> 00:41:17,200 primary is fundamental all these 1111 00:41:21,510 --> 00:41:19,520 questions kind of just get pushed aside 1112 00:41:23,990 --> 00:41:21,520 and say well well no can you take me 1113 00:41:25,910 --> 00:41:24,000 back to a time when i had this past life 1114 00:41:27,589 --> 00:41:25,920 memory without really thinking it 1115 00:41:29,750 --> 00:41:27,599 through and then i think is our 1116 00:41:31,190 --> 00:41:29,760 challenge in terms of pushing this 1117 00:41:33,030 --> 00:41:31,200 consciousness 1118 00:41:35,190 --> 00:41:33,040 frontier is to just kind of point out 1119 00:41:38,550 --> 00:41:35,200 these obvious uh problems do you have 1120 00:41:40,230 --> 00:41:38,560 any do you have any thoughts on that 1121 00:41:41,750 --> 00:41:40,240 my thoughts on this are that 1122 00:41:43,190 --> 00:41:41,760 there are a number of angles that we've 1123 00:41:45,589 --> 00:41:43,200 been taking right the actual 1124 00:41:47,190 --> 00:41:45,599 investigators such as the university of 1125 00:41:48,470 --> 00:41:47,200 virginia professor with the with the 1126 00:41:50,710 --> 00:41:48,480 reincarnation 1127 00:41:52,550 --> 00:41:50,720 stories that he's been compiling and dr 1128 00:41:54,470 --> 00:41:52,560 long for instance and others pin 1129 00:41:55,510 --> 00:41:54,480 feminine with the near-death experiences 1130 00:41:57,349 --> 00:41:55,520 and they're really 1131 00:41:58,710 --> 00:41:57,359 the investigators who are compiling the 1132 00:42:00,230 --> 00:41:58,720 data 1133 00:42:02,790 --> 00:42:00,240 and they're specialists in their field 1134 00:42:04,470 --> 00:42:02,800 and highly qualified in that field but 1135 00:42:06,550 --> 00:42:04,480 then there is the 1136 00:42:08,950 --> 00:42:06,560 the analysis of the data and looking at 1137 00:42:09,750 --> 00:42:08,960 different data sets as well for instance 1138 00:42:11,510 --> 00:42:09,760 what 1139 00:42:14,150 --> 00:42:11,520 you've been doing on your show is 1140 00:42:15,910 --> 00:42:14,160 looking at all these different fields 1141 00:42:17,510 --> 00:42:15,920 which originally seemed to be 1142 00:42:19,829 --> 00:42:17,520 disconnected like when you started 1143 00:42:21,829 --> 00:42:19,839 talking about ufos i was really just i 1144 00:42:23,510 --> 00:42:21,839 found that 1145 00:42:24,550 --> 00:42:23,520 just quizzical really i didn't really 1146 00:42:27,270 --> 00:42:24,560 understand where you were going with 1147 00:42:28,710 --> 00:42:27,280 that and some of your audience also 1148 00:42:31,589 --> 00:42:28,720 were wondering what you were doing with 1149 00:42:33,910 --> 00:42:31,599 this but then we look at the 1150 00:42:34,950 --> 00:42:33,920 similarities just the overall patterns 1151 00:42:37,270 --> 00:42:34,960 between 1152 00:42:39,030 --> 00:42:37,280 these different fields 1153 00:42:41,990 --> 00:42:39,040 and we'll put that in quotation marks as 1154 00:42:43,750 --> 00:42:42,000 well so these different data sets 1155 00:42:45,990 --> 00:42:43,760 and we've got near-death experiences for 1156 00:42:49,670 --> 00:42:46,000 instance we've got reincarnation 1157 00:42:51,750 --> 00:42:49,680 memories and we've got ufology 1158 00:42:53,510 --> 00:42:51,760 and i just and we've got mythology as 1159 00:42:55,589 --> 00:42:53,520 well and so if we've got all of these 1160 00:42:59,270 --> 00:42:55,599 different fields of study 1161 00:43:01,750 --> 00:42:59,280 and folklore as well so many of them if 1162 00:43:04,390 --> 00:43:01,760 we look at it as a very very 1163 00:43:06,710 --> 00:43:04,400 broad pattern we're seeing very very 1164 00:43:08,230 --> 00:43:06,720 similar phenomena for instance 1165 00:43:10,710 --> 00:43:08,240 this 1166 00:43:11,829 --> 00:43:10,720 sensation of timelessness that 1167 00:43:13,910 --> 00:43:11,839 these 1168 00:43:15,670 --> 00:43:13,920 experiences have that time 1169 00:43:18,790 --> 00:43:15,680 becomes meaningless that 1170 00:43:20,230 --> 00:43:18,800 that space all also becomes meaningless 1171 00:43:22,870 --> 00:43:20,240 just with a thought 1172 00:43:24,710 --> 00:43:22,880 this ufo seems to just what the 1173 00:43:26,630 --> 00:43:24,720 inductee's recalling is that they're 1174 00:43:29,670 --> 00:43:26,640 then there at that place and that 1175 00:43:32,150 --> 00:43:29,680 there's this dislocality with this whole 1176 00:43:33,990 --> 00:43:32,160 pattern and this is what i think 1177 00:43:34,870 --> 00:43:34,000 is necessary for the few people in the 1178 00:43:36,870 --> 00:43:34,880 world 1179 00:43:38,710 --> 00:43:36,880 who have enough knowledge with these 1180 00:43:42,230 --> 00:43:38,720 different data sets who have 1181 00:43:43,990 --> 00:43:42,240 been trained as well to analyze data 1182 00:43:46,870 --> 00:43:44,000 that we can just see these overall 1183 00:43:48,870 --> 00:43:46,880 patterns and not be 1184 00:43:51,109 --> 00:43:48,880 distracted by the 1185 00:43:52,950 --> 00:43:51,119 smaller details 1186 00:43:54,470 --> 00:43:52,960 and we can just see the overall pattern 1187 00:43:56,390 --> 00:43:54,480 for instance of 1188 00:43:57,109 --> 00:43:56,400 what you were describing of timelessness 1189 00:43:59,349 --> 00:43:57,119 and 1190 00:44:01,910 --> 00:43:59,359 spacelessness within all of these data 1191 00:44:03,270 --> 00:44:01,920 sets but it's tough isn't it and i'd go 1192 00:44:04,630 --> 00:44:03,280 back to your background i thought it was 1193 00:44:07,190 --> 00:44:04,640 so interesting you said you know you 1194 00:44:09,910 --> 00:44:07,200 were studying these greek vases right 1195 00:44:11,990 --> 00:44:09,920 like and you were probably one of the 1196 00:44:13,910 --> 00:44:12,000 top experts in the world that that i 1197 00:44:15,589 --> 00:44:13,920 imagine just from what you're telling me 1198 00:44:18,550 --> 00:44:15,599 not that you're the top but one of the 1199 00:44:19,750 --> 00:44:18,560 top and so there's someone out there 1200 00:44:21,190 --> 00:44:19,760 someone out there 1201 00:44:23,430 --> 00:44:21,200 what's that 1202 00:44:25,670 --> 00:44:23,440 compared to the general population 1203 00:44:28,870 --> 00:44:25,680 so there's someone out there 1204 00:44:30,710 --> 00:44:28,880 on the site doing the archaeological dig 1205 00:44:33,349 --> 00:44:30,720 sifting through that stuff that's 1206 00:44:35,430 --> 00:44:33,359 bringing back to you the little pieces 1207 00:44:37,270 --> 00:44:35,440 and then you're compiling those little 1208 00:44:40,630 --> 00:44:37,280 pieces and then there's someone else 1209 00:44:43,190 --> 00:44:40,640 who's analyzing it as you said well 1210 00:44:45,430 --> 00:44:43,200 great nelson that's great and you've put 1211 00:44:47,270 --> 00:44:45,440 it together and you've put it in and 1212 00:44:48,630 --> 00:44:47,280 just to be clear i've always been more 1213 00:44:51,750 --> 00:44:48,640 of an 1214 00:44:53,430 --> 00:44:51,760 analyst not an investigator so i 1215 00:44:55,910 --> 00:44:53,440 specialize in the 1216 00:44:59,430 --> 00:44:55,920 the analysis not the actual 1217 00:45:00,710 --> 00:44:59,440 excavation it's not archaeology so 1218 00:45:02,309 --> 00:45:00,720 i'm looking at this more of a 1219 00:45:03,750 --> 00:45:02,319 meta-analysis of 1220 00:45:05,270 --> 00:45:03,760 all these different religions these 1221 00:45:07,750 --> 00:45:05,280 ancient religions and the ancient 1222 00:45:09,430 --> 00:45:07,760 cultures and how they thought and really 1223 00:45:11,510 --> 00:45:09,440 immersing myself from that and seeing 1224 00:45:13,750 --> 00:45:11,520 the overall patterns of this and to 1225 00:45:16,390 --> 00:45:13,760 figure out how they thought 1226 00:45:18,790 --> 00:45:16,400 how their material culture was 1227 00:45:21,190 --> 00:45:18,800 awesome totally awesome and i kind of 1228 00:45:22,710 --> 00:45:21,200 assumed so and i just was wondering if 1229 00:45:24,550 --> 00:45:22,720 you wanted to take 1230 00:45:27,030 --> 00:45:24,560 what you just said and take that even 1231 00:45:28,630 --> 00:45:27,040 further right because 1232 00:45:30,309 --> 00:45:28,640 as you described at the very beginning 1233 00:45:32,790 --> 00:45:30,319 of this show then 1234 00:45:34,790 --> 00:45:32,800 your mind when you learned about some 1235 00:45:37,030 --> 00:45:34,800 folklore and mythology that you weren't 1236 00:45:39,750 --> 00:45:37,040 familiar with you immediately expanded 1237 00:45:41,990 --> 00:45:39,760 your paradigm which was already kind of 1238 00:45:44,630 --> 00:45:42,000 there you know and i think that's what's 1239 00:45:46,630 --> 00:45:44,640 constantly constantly going on and as 1240 00:45:47,430 --> 00:45:46,640 you point out what it's going to take is 1241 00:45:49,750 --> 00:45:47,440 then 1242 00:45:52,470 --> 00:45:49,760 merging that paradigm with about four 1243 00:45:53,750 --> 00:45:52,480 other paradigms to nudge even closer to 1244 00:45:55,589 --> 00:45:53,760 it and when you look at it from that 1245 00:45:58,309 --> 00:45:55,599 perspective 1246 00:46:00,069 --> 00:45:58,319 i don't know it's a big job 1247 00:46:01,510 --> 00:46:00,079 yeah and we've got to be careful with 1248 00:46:03,430 --> 00:46:01,520 all of this that when we're seeing the 1249 00:46:05,990 --> 00:46:03,440 patterns which are actually very 1250 00:46:08,390 --> 00:46:06,000 repetitive and they're very 1251 00:46:10,150 --> 00:46:08,400 significant i think but we still have to 1252 00:46:11,190 --> 00:46:10,160 be skeptical that just because there is 1253 00:46:22,630 --> 00:46:11,200 a 1254 00:46:24,550 --> 00:46:22,640 single one 1255 00:46:26,470 --> 00:46:24,560 but i still think it's significant that 1256 00:46:29,589 --> 00:46:26,480 we still see this pattern for instance 1257 00:46:32,710 --> 00:46:29,599 of timelessness and non-locality within 1258 00:46:35,030 --> 00:46:32,720 all of this within mythology folklore 1259 00:46:37,589 --> 00:46:35,040 within ufology within near-death 1260 00:46:38,550 --> 00:46:37,599 experience science and within studies as 1261 00:46:40,069 --> 00:46:38,560 well 1262 00:46:41,510 --> 00:46:40,079 so great and i want to jump right back 1263 00:46:43,910 --> 00:46:41,520 into the mythology thing because it's 1264 00:46:45,750 --> 00:46:43,920 really kind of a hotbud issue for me but 1265 00:46:48,390 --> 00:46:45,760 i can't resist before we go there do you 1266 00:46:49,990 --> 00:46:48,400 have any examples from your personal 1267 00:46:51,670 --> 00:46:50,000 experience 1268 00:46:52,870 --> 00:46:51,680 as a researcher 1269 00:46:56,230 --> 00:46:52,880 where this 1270 00:46:58,710 --> 00:46:56,240 correlation versus causation thing did 1271 00:47:00,309 --> 00:46:58,720 crop up i always think of the cave 1272 00:47:02,069 --> 00:47:00,319 paintings and 1273 00:47:04,390 --> 00:47:02,079 the initial thing is oh that's 1274 00:47:05,190 --> 00:47:04,400 pornography you know that it's like they 1275 00:47:07,589 --> 00:47:05,200 they 1276 00:47:08,550 --> 00:47:07,599 go well no it's not at all you know it's 1277 00:47:13,030 --> 00:47:08,560 like 1278 00:47:14,230 --> 00:47:13,040 that you did where there was kind of 1279 00:47:16,230 --> 00:47:14,240 this 1280 00:47:18,470 --> 00:47:16,240 if if not you someone else who had to do 1281 00:47:21,829 --> 00:47:18,480 a major kind of oops 1282 00:47:24,390 --> 00:47:21,839 just basically what i would say is that 1283 00:47:27,589 --> 00:47:24,400 most of the people in academia now who 1284 00:47:29,670 --> 00:47:27,599 are being paid to work they are 1285 00:47:30,790 --> 00:47:29,680 extremely condescending of the ancient 1286 00:47:33,190 --> 00:47:30,800 cultures 1287 00:47:35,750 --> 00:47:33,200 and they are actually rewarded for 1288 00:47:37,430 --> 00:47:35,760 explicitly describing these religions as 1289 00:47:39,109 --> 00:47:37,440 superstition 1290 00:47:41,349 --> 00:47:39,119 explicitly 1291 00:47:42,710 --> 00:47:41,359 and this is such a huge 1292 00:47:44,150 --> 00:47:42,720 prejudice 1293 00:47:47,990 --> 00:47:44,160 that you're just assuming that it's 1294 00:47:50,309 --> 00:47:48,000 nonsensical just fantastical ridiculous 1295 00:47:53,190 --> 00:47:50,319 ideas that these people had 1296 00:47:54,950 --> 00:47:53,200 and i've seen this i've seen people 1297 00:47:56,950 --> 00:47:54,960 actually one person in particular that 1298 00:47:59,270 --> 00:47:56,960 i'm thinking of he was rewarded given a 1299 00:48:00,790 --> 00:47:59,280 prize for an essay competition a 1300 00:48:03,510 --> 00:48:00,800 national essay competition in new 1301 00:48:07,190 --> 00:48:03,520 zealand for writing that the ancient 1302 00:48:08,950 --> 00:48:07,200 religions were superstition 1303 00:48:10,630 --> 00:48:08,960 so interesting that's such a great point 1304 00:48:12,549 --> 00:48:10,640 because it fits perfectly this about 1305 00:48:14,230 --> 00:48:12,559 this other thing we're talking about 1306 00:48:15,910 --> 00:48:14,240 which has been kind of my gig for a long 1307 00:48:17,190 --> 00:48:15,920 time is 1308 00:48:18,829 --> 00:48:17,200 the main 1309 00:48:21,190 --> 00:48:18,839 message being 1310 00:48:23,430 --> 00:48:21,200 propagated is 1311 00:48:26,710 --> 00:48:23,440 you are meaningless and you do not 1312 00:48:28,630 --> 00:48:26,720 consciousness is an illusion and 1313 00:48:31,270 --> 00:48:28,640 it's so funny that people in the 1314 00:48:33,750 --> 00:48:31,280 humanities don't understand that but 1315 00:48:35,910 --> 00:48:33,760 that would be the natural 1316 00:48:38,150 --> 00:48:35,920 extension of that and it's also funny 1317 00:48:39,910 --> 00:48:38,160 like we're talking about that 1318 00:48:41,990 --> 00:48:39,920 like i look at the reincarnation 1319 00:48:43,750 --> 00:48:42,000 research at jim tucker and i guess 1320 00:48:44,870 --> 00:48:43,760 that's what i was kind of alluding to is 1321 00:48:46,549 --> 00:48:44,880 like 1322 00:48:49,990 --> 00:48:46,559 you know great 1323 00:48:53,109 --> 00:48:50,000 reincarnation how about just using that 1324 00:48:54,390 --> 00:48:53,119 just to completely break down 1325 00:48:57,030 --> 00:48:54,400 this 1326 00:48:58,870 --> 00:48:57,040 scientific materialism dogma and its 1327 00:49:01,030 --> 00:48:58,880 implications for consciousness because 1328 00:49:02,549 --> 00:49:01,040 this to me relates directly back to your 1329 00:49:05,790 --> 00:49:02,559 point 1330 00:49:08,309 --> 00:49:05,800 if there is this extended realm if a 1331 00:49:11,030 --> 00:49:08,319 reincarnation is in fact the evidence 1332 00:49:13,670 --> 00:49:11,040 for that is is strong then 1333 00:49:16,230 --> 00:49:13,680 that guy no longer looks credible not 1334 00:49:18,309 --> 00:49:16,240 that he ever did look credible but it i 1335 00:49:19,670 --> 00:49:18,319 guess what i'm saying is doesn't a lot 1336 00:49:21,910 --> 00:49:19,680 of the stuff we're talking about 1337 00:49:24,790 --> 00:49:21,920 including reincarnation science 1338 00:49:26,710 --> 00:49:24,800 including near-death experience science 1339 00:49:28,870 --> 00:49:26,720 do you think that that part of the 1340 00:49:31,190 --> 00:49:28,880 pushback on that is that it 1341 00:49:33,910 --> 00:49:31,200 fundamentally undermines that guy you're 1342 00:49:36,870 --> 00:49:33,920 talking about in a way that probably he 1343 00:49:38,630 --> 00:49:36,880 doesn't even realize and that 1344 00:49:41,270 --> 00:49:38,640 you know maybe that's really the game 1345 00:49:43,990 --> 00:49:41,280 that's afoot without a lot of people 1346 00:49:45,510 --> 00:49:44,000 knowing it with inside of academia it's 1347 00:49:47,430 --> 00:49:45,520 always difficult to 1348 00:49:49,910 --> 00:49:47,440 analyze what people are actually 1349 00:49:51,430 --> 00:49:49,920 motivated by what their inner life is so 1350 00:49:54,150 --> 00:49:51,440 i don't really want to comment too much 1351 00:49:56,950 --> 00:49:54,160 on that but i think a lot of it probably 1352 00:50:00,069 --> 00:49:56,960 is unconscious with many of these 1353 00:50:03,030 --> 00:50:00,079 individuals that they're so seat in this 1354 00:50:05,270 --> 00:50:03,040 world view of reductionist materialism 1355 00:50:07,190 --> 00:50:05,280 and this meaningless universe and that 1356 00:50:08,790 --> 00:50:07,200 it's just ridiculous superstition what 1357 00:50:10,150 --> 00:50:08,800 the ancients were doing 1358 00:50:12,549 --> 00:50:10,160 that they really 1359 00:50:13,750 --> 00:50:12,559 probably haven't even heard an 1360 00:50:15,829 --> 00:50:13,760 alternative 1361 00:50:18,230 --> 00:50:15,839 view of this that 1362 00:50:19,589 --> 00:50:18,240 like i i just come 1363 00:50:22,390 --> 00:50:19,599 at the whole 1364 00:50:23,589 --> 00:50:22,400 past with this open mind that 1365 00:50:25,670 --> 00:50:23,599 maybe 1366 00:50:27,990 --> 00:50:25,680 what the ancients were describing was 1367 00:50:31,109 --> 00:50:28,000 literally true or at least the kernel of 1368 00:50:33,430 --> 00:50:31,119 truth of what they were experiencing 1369 00:50:35,030 --> 00:50:33,440 but it's a radical idea but what if what 1370 00:50:35,990 --> 00:50:35,040 they're describing in their religions 1371 00:50:37,910 --> 00:50:36,000 and 1372 00:50:40,390 --> 00:50:37,920 in communication with these entities 1373 00:50:41,589 --> 00:50:40,400 which they were obsessively 1374 00:50:42,630 --> 00:50:41,599 trying to do 1375 00:50:44,549 --> 00:50:42,640 to get 1376 00:50:45,670 --> 00:50:44,559 real-world effects maybe they were 1377 00:50:48,069 --> 00:50:45,680 actually 1378 00:50:49,589 --> 00:50:48,079 connecting with some entities 1379 00:50:51,750 --> 00:50:49,599 or maybe these myths that they're 1380 00:50:54,630 --> 00:50:51,760 describing actually are some entities 1381 00:50:56,790 --> 00:50:54,640 which are visiting humans and that it's 1382 00:50:58,710 --> 00:50:56,800 not just nonsense that's the question 1383 00:50:59,750 --> 00:50:58,720 that i have i'm open to this whereas 1384 00:51:03,270 --> 00:50:59,760 most 1385 00:51:05,030 --> 00:51:03,280 academics are just completely closed 1386 00:51:06,790 --> 00:51:05,040 right and at this point it's almost like 1387 00:51:08,950 --> 00:51:06,800 we need to leave 1388 00:51:11,030 --> 00:51:08,960 academia behind in scientific 1389 00:51:14,230 --> 00:51:11,040 materialism behind because 1390 00:51:17,030 --> 00:51:14,240 if it is an operation as we both kind of 1391 00:51:19,190 --> 00:51:17,040 suspect if it is a psyop if it is a 1392 00:51:21,910 --> 00:51:19,200 conspiracy 1393 00:51:23,910 --> 00:51:21,920 then to kind of constantly refer back to 1394 00:51:26,470 --> 00:51:23,920 it is almost 1395 00:51:28,069 --> 00:51:26,480 serving its purpose to a certain extent 1396 00:51:30,630 --> 00:51:28,079 so if we 1397 00:51:32,470 --> 00:51:30,640 kind of lose that rocket 1398 00:51:34,549 --> 00:51:32,480 and or what are they that stage of the 1399 00:51:36,790 --> 00:51:34,559 rocket and leave that behind and kind of 1400 00:51:37,990 --> 00:51:36,800 zoom forward i want to get right to your 1401 00:51:39,910 --> 00:51:38,000 point because right when you said it 1402 00:51:41,829 --> 00:51:39,920 from the beginning this is kind of a 1403 00:51:44,150 --> 00:51:41,839 skeptical moment 1404 00:51:47,510 --> 00:51:44,160 i'm uncomfortable with where a lot of 1405 00:51:50,549 --> 00:51:47,520 people are taking the mythology folklore 1406 00:51:53,349 --> 00:51:50,559 jacques valet kind of stuff because jack 1407 00:51:55,190 --> 00:51:53,359 filet of course was the first one to 1408 00:51:57,349 --> 00:51:55,200 or i don't know if he was the first one 1409 00:51:59,670 --> 00:51:57,359 but is it i think he was i think he was 1410 00:52:01,109 --> 00:51:59,680 the first one to really draw this 1411 00:52:02,710 --> 00:52:01,119 you think 1412 00:52:05,349 --> 00:52:02,720 yeah i think he's definitely the most 1413 00:52:07,109 --> 00:52:05,359 influential yes good way of putting it 1414 00:52:08,710 --> 00:52:07,119 certainly the most influential and 1415 00:52:11,190 --> 00:52:08,720 definitely one of the first people to 1416 00:52:13,670 --> 00:52:11,200 draw this connection between 1417 00:52:14,870 --> 00:52:13,680 folklore fairies 1418 00:52:17,829 --> 00:52:14,880 other 1419 00:52:19,910 --> 00:52:17,839 mythical beings and their striking 1420 00:52:21,430 --> 00:52:19,920 similarity to what people are reporting 1421 00:52:24,069 --> 00:52:21,440 as the 1422 00:52:25,990 --> 00:52:24,079 ufo experience in the et experience the 1423 00:52:28,549 --> 00:52:26,000 abduction experience the contact 1424 00:52:31,510 --> 00:52:28,559 experience all those things 1425 00:52:32,790 --> 00:52:31,520 what i also point out is that you know 1426 00:52:34,630 --> 00:52:32,800 jacques villa 1427 00:52:36,150 --> 00:52:34,640 i interviewed him he also walks around 1428 00:52:39,270 --> 00:52:36,160 with a 1429 00:52:42,710 --> 00:52:39,280 little bit of uh slag in his pocket from 1430 00:52:44,790 --> 00:52:42,720 the ufo that he the ship that he has 1431 00:52:46,870 --> 00:52:44,800 where it's a physical thing and he's put 1432 00:52:48,470 --> 00:52:46,880 it under the microscope and said hey we 1433 00:52:49,589 --> 00:52:48,480 don't know how to build this material we 1434 00:52:51,510 --> 00:52:49,599 don't know how to manufacture this 1435 00:52:53,030 --> 00:52:51,520 material we don't know how to fuse these 1436 00:52:56,309 --> 00:52:53,040 metals together 1437 00:52:59,430 --> 00:52:56,319 from a technology standpoint so he is 1438 00:53:01,109 --> 00:52:59,440 standing with one foot in one world and 1439 00:53:02,710 --> 00:53:01,119 one foot in the other world and that's 1440 00:53:04,470 --> 00:53:02,720 where i think we all have to stand on 1441 00:53:05,910 --> 00:53:04,480 this and it returns to my thing about 1442 00:53:08,150 --> 00:53:05,920 reincarnation 1443 00:53:10,870 --> 00:53:08,160 if we fundamentally don't understand 1444 00:53:14,069 --> 00:53:10,880 consciousness then we have to be really 1445 00:53:16,470 --> 00:53:14,079 careful about where we go with extended 1446 00:53:17,670 --> 00:53:16,480 consciousness and i'll just tie a couple 1447 00:53:19,990 --> 00:53:17,680 of threads 1448 00:53:21,829 --> 00:53:20,000 back in without really winding them too 1449 00:53:23,670 --> 00:53:21,839 tight because we can't 1450 00:53:26,309 --> 00:53:23,680 i think the genetic engineering 1451 00:53:27,750 --> 00:53:26,319 component of this is central and i'm 1452 00:53:29,589 --> 00:53:27,760 glad you brought it up from the 1453 00:53:31,829 --> 00:53:29,599 beginning 1454 00:53:32,630 --> 00:53:31,839 i think the work of bruce fenton have 1455 00:53:36,390 --> 00:53:32,640 you 1456 00:53:38,790 --> 00:53:36,400 i think his work 1457 00:53:42,150 --> 00:53:38,800 is absolutely uh critical to 1458 00:53:45,030 --> 00:53:42,160 understanding this and for also also for 1459 00:53:47,510 --> 00:53:45,040 reestablishing a potential timeline his 1460 00:53:49,990 --> 00:53:47,520 timeline is 800 000 years 1461 00:53:52,470 --> 00:53:50,000 okay so what if we can show 1462 00:53:56,309 --> 00:53:52,480 some evidence of genetic manipulation 1463 00:53:58,069 --> 00:53:56,319 for the last 800 000 years for an 1464 00:53:59,910 --> 00:53:58,079 ongoing 1465 00:54:02,950 --> 00:53:59,920 process of 1466 00:54:05,430 --> 00:54:02,960 genetic manipulation it changes the 1467 00:54:08,309 --> 00:54:05,440 whole thing so dramatically and we're 1468 00:54:11,430 --> 00:54:08,319 less focused on our little world and our 1469 00:54:12,549 --> 00:54:11,440 little slice of time that that it is 1470 00:54:15,190 --> 00:54:12,559 being 1471 00:54:17,270 --> 00:54:15,200 manipulated and shaped and then and 1472 00:54:18,230 --> 00:54:17,280 injected into what do you think about 1473 00:54:20,390 --> 00:54:18,240 all that 1474 00:54:23,030 --> 00:54:20,400 well even the concept of time our 1475 00:54:25,990 --> 00:54:23,040 perception of it is so limited it seems 1476 00:54:29,270 --> 00:54:26,000 whereas these beings seem to be in this 1477 00:54:31,430 --> 00:54:29,280 far more expansive reality of time 1478 00:54:33,990 --> 00:54:31,440 and you see this in mythology as well of 1479 00:54:35,510 --> 00:54:34,000 the gods that they're in this 1480 00:54:37,349 --> 00:54:35,520 timeless realm 1481 00:54:39,589 --> 00:54:37,359 and for them 1482 00:54:41,990 --> 00:54:39,599 just the blink of an eye is for many 1483 00:54:43,990 --> 00:54:42,000 human lifetimes and that they can 1484 00:54:46,950 --> 00:54:44,000 punish humans for instance they can do 1485 00:54:49,589 --> 00:54:46,960 terrible things on mass to humans 1486 00:54:51,670 --> 00:54:49,599 causing global catastrophes 1487 00:54:54,950 --> 00:54:51,680 generations after they've been insulted 1488 00:54:56,950 --> 00:54:54,960 by an individual and this is explicitly 1489 00:54:57,990 --> 00:54:56,960 talked about in the greek myths as well 1490 00:54:59,270 --> 00:54:58,000 of 1491 00:55:00,710 --> 00:54:59,280 esseod 1492 00:55:02,470 --> 00:55:00,720 one of the 1493 00:55:05,190 --> 00:55:02,480 most fundamental sources of greek 1494 00:55:07,270 --> 00:55:05,200 mythology along with homer he explicitly 1495 00:55:08,950 --> 00:55:07,280 states this that that the gods 1496 00:55:10,309 --> 00:55:08,960 have a different timeline 1497 00:55:12,789 --> 00:55:10,319 than humans 1498 00:55:14,549 --> 00:55:12,799 right and and i you know we keep we keep 1499 00:55:16,549 --> 00:55:14,559 hitting on a lot of the a lot of the 1500 00:55:18,870 --> 00:55:16,559 same things 1501 00:55:20,470 --> 00:55:18,880 where else do we want to go 1502 00:55:23,190 --> 00:55:20,480 i'll tell you where i want to go 1503 00:55:27,829 --> 00:55:23,200 i i want to see if we can get some 1504 00:55:30,470 --> 00:55:27,839 degree of closure with the ufo et thing 1505 00:55:32,870 --> 00:55:30,480 by bringing it back to 1506 00:55:35,589 --> 00:55:32,880 what we're experiencing right now and 1507 00:55:36,710 --> 00:55:35,599 what we're seeing right now particularly 1508 00:55:38,150 --> 00:55:36,720 as it 1509 00:55:39,430 --> 00:55:38,160 relates to 1510 00:55:41,910 --> 00:55:39,440 the control 1511 00:55:44,230 --> 00:55:41,920 and the global control and the message 1512 00:55:47,589 --> 00:55:44,240 and how the message is being shaped it 1513 00:55:49,349 --> 00:55:47,599 is stunning to me that people 1514 00:55:50,230 --> 00:55:49,359 even entertained really intelligent 1515 00:55:53,190 --> 00:55:50,240 people 1516 00:55:54,870 --> 00:55:53,200 really entertain this idea of disclosure 1517 00:56:00,150 --> 00:55:54,880 as if 1518 00:56:03,190 --> 00:56:00,160 when the new york times released these 1519 00:56:05,910 --> 00:56:03,200 videos from 10 years ago as if that is 1520 00:56:08,309 --> 00:56:05,920 somehow disclosure i mean even in our 1521 00:56:09,990 --> 00:56:08,319 memory in our living memory we have to 1522 00:56:12,470 --> 00:56:10,000 scratch our heads and go 1523 00:56:15,430 --> 00:56:12,480 well wait a minute what about all those 1524 00:56:17,510 --> 00:56:15,440 other cases what about roswell what 1525 00:56:20,390 --> 00:56:17,520 about you know all these cases what 1526 00:56:22,549 --> 00:56:20,400 about the flappin dc all these i could 1527 00:56:24,870 --> 00:56:22,559 go on and on but you get the point so i 1528 00:56:28,470 --> 00:56:24,880 want to go there and i want to talk 1529 00:56:30,150 --> 00:56:28,480 about that and bring the ufo et thing 1530 00:56:32,390 --> 00:56:30,160 up to the present but i want to make 1531 00:56:34,710 --> 00:56:32,400 sure we leave some time to talk about 1532 00:56:36,230 --> 00:56:34,720 the romans because as i maybe mentioned 1533 00:56:38,230 --> 00:56:36,240 to you i don't know it was before after 1534 00:56:41,270 --> 00:56:38,240 we started recording 1535 00:56:42,230 --> 00:56:41,280 you have quite an amazing insight my 1536 00:56:44,470 --> 00:56:42,240 little 1537 00:56:46,309 --> 00:56:44,480 foray into that stuff that that kind of 1538 00:56:47,910 --> 00:56:46,319 blew my mind so 1539 00:56:49,990 --> 00:56:47,920 we'll start with 1540 00:56:52,470 --> 00:56:50,000 what's going on today with ufo 1541 00:56:55,190 --> 00:56:52,480 disclosure 1542 00:56:56,150 --> 00:56:55,200 so i basically agree with marty gaza 1543 00:56:57,829 --> 00:56:56,160 from the 1544 00:57:00,789 --> 00:56:57,839 brothers of the certain podcast that 1545 00:57:02,549 --> 00:57:00,799 this disclosure is so limited 1546 00:57:03,910 --> 00:57:02,559 and actually just from my perspective 1547 00:57:06,309 --> 00:57:03,920 just reading that document the 1548 00:57:09,430 --> 00:57:06,319 unclassified version was just so 1549 00:57:11,510 --> 00:57:09,440 insulting the language just as if 1550 00:57:13,270 --> 00:57:11,520 the audience the idiots just hardly 1551 00:57:15,910 --> 00:57:13,280 saying anything basically nothing 1552 00:57:18,390 --> 00:57:15,920 sandwich right 1553 00:57:20,069 --> 00:57:18,400 when you say that remind people remind 1554 00:57:21,109 --> 00:57:20,079 people what you're what you're referring 1555 00:57:23,670 --> 00:57:21,119 to there 1556 00:57:27,510 --> 00:57:23,680 the document that you're referring to 1557 00:57:28,789 --> 00:57:27,520 this was in june of this year 2021 1558 00:57:32,390 --> 00:57:28,799 of 1559 00:57:36,069 --> 00:57:32,400 release 1560 00:57:38,309 --> 00:57:36,079 the information that was held on ufo 1561 00:57:40,309 --> 00:57:38,319 if i understand that quickly and 1562 00:57:42,069 --> 00:57:40,319 right and what a lot of people point out 1563 00:57:44,069 --> 00:57:42,079 and rightfully should be but a lot of 1564 00:57:48,309 --> 00:57:44,079 people don't make the connection is 1565 00:57:51,430 --> 00:57:48,319 so this was introduced by donald trump 1566 00:57:54,390 --> 00:57:51,440 in a bill that was tied to you know is 1567 00:57:56,230 --> 00:57:54,400 buried in a bl bill that the government 1568 00:57:58,390 --> 00:57:56,240 should have to release all information 1569 00:58:00,470 --> 00:57:58,400 within 180 days 1570 00:58:03,589 --> 00:58:00,480 and the whole thing was absurd from the 1571 00:58:06,470 --> 00:58:03,599 beginning and it it kind of is 1572 00:58:09,349 --> 00:58:06,480 disappointing to me the extent to which 1573 00:58:11,430 --> 00:58:09,359 our our community this broader community 1574 00:58:13,990 --> 00:58:11,440 falls into the same game it's like we're 1575 00:58:15,510 --> 00:58:14,000 watching the the sports channel you know 1576 00:58:17,270 --> 00:58:15,520 either in europe and the america the 1577 00:58:19,270 --> 00:58:17,280 sports channel is a sports channel 1578 00:58:20,630 --> 00:58:19,280 everywhere in the world it's like hey 1579 00:58:22,470 --> 00:58:20,640 what are we going to talk about today 1580 00:58:23,990 --> 00:58:22,480 and let's talk about it and talk about 1581 00:58:25,030 --> 00:58:24,000 it and talk about the same thing over 1582 00:58:26,630 --> 00:58:25,040 and over again and there's no 1583 00:58:28,630 --> 00:58:26,640 information they don't even have to 1584 00:58:30,470 --> 00:58:28,640 program people to do that they just move 1585 00:58:32,390 --> 00:58:30,480 the cheese a little bit and people 1586 00:58:35,349 --> 00:58:32,400 follow that how could it be any more 1587 00:58:37,270 --> 00:58:35,359 absurd why would anyone in the world 1588 00:58:39,990 --> 00:58:37,280 think that they would release anything 1589 00:58:43,510 --> 00:58:40,000 after 180 days they haven't released 1590 00:58:45,589 --> 00:58:43,520 anything in 60 70 years or however long 1591 00:58:47,670 --> 00:58:45,599 they've known about it why would they 1592 00:58:50,150 --> 00:58:47,680 feel compelled to release anything in 1593 00:58:52,069 --> 00:58:50,160 180 days and again i go back to the 1594 00:58:54,870 --> 00:58:52,079 disclosure thing because i interviewed 1595 00:58:57,589 --> 00:58:54,880 both leslie kane and ralph blumenthal 1596 00:58:59,829 --> 00:58:57,599 who were the two had the byline 1597 00:59:03,349 --> 00:58:59,839 on the new york times 1598 00:59:05,270 --> 00:59:03,359 big disclosure thing in december of 2017 1599 00:59:07,670 --> 00:59:05,280 2018 i can't remember now dates are 1600 00:59:10,069 --> 00:59:07,680 flipping out of my head but 1601 00:59:12,470 --> 00:59:10,079 the idea that that 1602 00:59:14,470 --> 00:59:12,480 forget about everything else forget 1603 00:59:16,789 --> 00:59:14,480 about how we've threatened to kill 1604 00:59:19,030 --> 00:59:16,799 people forget about how we've said we 1605 00:59:22,230 --> 00:59:19,040 will take your family out in the desert 1606 00:59:24,069 --> 00:59:22,240 and and bury them alive if you ever 1607 00:59:27,349 --> 00:59:24,079 disclose any of the things that you've 1608 00:59:28,870 --> 00:59:27,359 seen forget all about that disclosure 1609 00:59:30,950 --> 00:59:28,880 will now be 1610 00:59:33,829 --> 00:59:30,960 this video that we just released and 1611 00:59:35,750 --> 00:59:33,839 we'll have a bunch of can talk about who 1612 00:59:37,030 --> 00:59:35,760 was the guy piloting the ship and what 1613 00:59:40,309 --> 00:59:37,040 do they know here 1614 00:59:43,430 --> 00:59:40,319 it is such an obvious obvious 1615 00:59:45,589 --> 00:59:43,440 kind of uh ploy trick not even it's not 1616 00:59:48,390 --> 00:59:45,599 even that sophisticated 1617 00:59:50,470 --> 00:59:48,400 because the timeline is so restricted 1618 00:59:51,750 --> 00:59:50,480 that it's just going a tiny bit back 1619 00:59:53,510 --> 00:59:51,760 into the past 1620 00:59:55,349 --> 00:59:53,520 and the number of cases that are 1621 00:59:57,910 --> 00:59:55,359 unexplained is also 1622 00:59:59,829 --> 00:59:57,920 so limited whereas even on 60 minutes 1623 01:00:01,829 --> 00:59:59,839 there were pilots saying 1624 01:00:04,069 --> 01:00:01,839 that they are over the carrier fleets 1625 01:00:07,270 --> 01:00:04,079 they're seeing the ufos almost on a 1626 01:00:10,390 --> 01:00:07,280 daily basis for years 1627 01:00:13,030 --> 01:00:10,400 what does this say about the extent of 1628 01:00:16,309 --> 01:00:13,040 the control of the message and the 1629 01:00:18,870 --> 01:00:16,319 extent to which the population is easily 1630 01:00:20,870 --> 01:00:18,880 manipulated by a controlled message to 1631 01:00:23,270 --> 01:00:20,880 me it's it's 1632 01:00:24,870 --> 01:00:23,280 it doesn't leave a lot a lot of hope i 1633 01:00:27,190 --> 01:00:24,880 mean this is stuff that 1634 01:00:29,190 --> 01:00:27,200 i think anyone should be able to kind of 1635 01:00:31,750 --> 01:00:29,200 figure out pretty 1636 01:00:32,789 --> 01:00:31,760 pretty easily and i'm surprised i mean 1637 01:00:34,230 --> 01:00:32,799 you go about i'm not even going to 1638 01:00:35,349 --> 01:00:34,240 mention names because they're people i 1639 01:00:37,589 --> 01:00:35,359 really like 1640 01:00:39,990 --> 01:00:37,599 but the people i've had on it 1641 01:00:42,390 --> 01:00:40,000 i can just tell you i almost ignore 1642 01:00:43,910 --> 01:00:42,400 this thing just with this government 1643 01:00:44,950 --> 01:00:43,920 disclosure business because it's just so 1644 01:00:47,190 --> 01:00:44,960 obvious 1645 01:00:48,309 --> 01:00:47,200 that they're just creating this tiny 1646 01:00:50,309 --> 01:00:48,319 frame 1647 01:00:52,309 --> 01:00:50,319 with which to understand the phenomenon 1648 01:00:54,789 --> 01:00:52,319 but nelson the question i'm asking is 1649 01:00:56,789 --> 01:00:54,799 why do so many people in our community 1650 01:00:58,950 --> 01:00:56,799 the leaders in our community 1651 01:01:00,950 --> 01:00:58,960 buy into this and it's not even that 1652 01:01:02,870 --> 01:01:00,960 they're buying into it they're just seem 1653 01:01:05,349 --> 01:01:02,880 to be compelled to talk about this 1654 01:01:08,150 --> 01:01:05,359 talking point of disclosure rather than 1655 01:01:10,870 --> 01:01:08,160 going this is obviously a psyop we don't 1656 01:01:13,750 --> 01:01:10,880 know who exactly is behind the psyop we 1657 01:01:17,270 --> 01:01:13,760 don't know the the entire method but 1658 01:01:18,470 --> 01:01:17,280 completely political psyop and you know 1659 01:01:19,589 --> 01:01:18,480 you can go look at the shows that i've 1660 01:01:21,910 --> 01:01:19,599 done where 1661 01:01:24,150 --> 01:01:21,920 the leading people are going and i i 1662 01:01:27,109 --> 01:01:24,160 don't think so you know lou elizondo 1663 01:01:29,270 --> 01:01:27,119 even though he's a lifetime spy 1664 01:01:31,829 --> 01:01:29,280 disinformation agent i think he's 1665 01:01:33,349 --> 01:01:31,839 telling the truth this time i'm like 1666 01:01:35,510 --> 01:01:33,359 what have we learned what have we 1667 01:01:37,750 --> 01:01:35,520 learned you know in all this stuff that 1668 01:01:40,230 --> 01:01:37,760 we've investigated absolutely and that's 1669 01:01:41,750 --> 01:01:40,240 why i just just tend to look at the 1670 01:01:44,549 --> 01:01:41,760 overall patterns 1671 01:01:45,510 --> 01:01:44,559 way way back into history and 1672 01:01:47,510 --> 01:01:45,520 um 1673 01:01:48,630 --> 01:01:47,520 just going beyond this frame not giving 1674 01:01:51,030 --> 01:01:48,640 even 1675 01:01:52,390 --> 01:01:51,040 this official disclosure much attention 1676 01:01:55,270 --> 01:01:52,400 really because it's so 1677 01:01:57,589 --> 01:01:55,280 irrelevant it's only really relevant 1678 01:01:58,630 --> 01:01:57,599 in terms of being a psyop but it's not 1679 01:02:01,190 --> 01:01:58,640 actually 1680 01:02:02,789 --> 01:02:01,200 that relevant as part of the data set 1681 01:02:05,109 --> 01:02:02,799 itself right 1682 01:02:06,870 --> 01:02:05,119 so this is what i wanted to 1683 01:02:08,710 --> 01:02:06,880 sort of draw back on is that even though 1684 01:02:10,390 --> 01:02:08,720 it's disappointing right the 1685 01:02:11,990 --> 01:02:10,400 the disclosure was going to be 1686 01:02:14,230 --> 01:02:12,000 disappointing anyway 1687 01:02:15,829 --> 01:02:14,240 for most people but it's disappointing 1688 01:02:18,549 --> 01:02:15,839 the reaction of 1689 01:02:20,470 --> 01:02:18,559 many investigators as well 1690 01:02:22,470 --> 01:02:20,480 but i think if we go beyond that and 1691 01:02:23,750 --> 01:02:22,480 just focus on 1692 01:02:27,349 --> 01:02:23,760 the 1693 01:02:28,870 --> 01:02:27,359 different fields that your show has 1694 01:02:30,870 --> 01:02:28,880 covered over the years 1695 01:02:32,870 --> 01:02:30,880 and i think this is 1696 01:02:35,190 --> 01:02:32,880 extremely significant 1697 01:02:36,470 --> 01:02:35,200 that we have so many similarities and 1698 01:02:38,470 --> 01:02:36,480 core 1699 01:02:40,150 --> 01:02:38,480 uh characteristics of 1700 01:02:41,349 --> 01:02:40,160 as we were saying in mythology and 1701 01:02:44,309 --> 01:02:41,359 folklore 1702 01:02:45,029 --> 01:02:44,319 and then even in even in mythology and 1703 01:02:49,190 --> 01:02:45,039 in 1704 01:02:50,950 --> 01:02:49,200 studies 1705 01:02:53,029 --> 01:02:50,960 and the chance that that would be a 1706 01:02:55,190 --> 01:02:53,039 coincidence 1707 01:02:56,870 --> 01:02:55,200 i find just extremely unlikely for 1708 01:02:58,150 --> 01:02:56,880 instance even in near-death experiences 1709 01:03:00,870 --> 01:02:58,160 if you go on the 1710 01:03:02,950 --> 01:03:00,880 database and look up aliens or et or 1711 01:03:04,470 --> 01:03:02,960 something you'll actually see even that 1712 01:03:05,670 --> 01:03:04,480 that these 1713 01:03:07,589 --> 01:03:05,680 entities 1714 01:03:08,549 --> 01:03:07,599 seem to be appearing more reportedly 1715 01:03:10,950 --> 01:03:08,559 anyway 1716 01:03:12,950 --> 01:03:10,960 in their death experiences 1717 01:03:14,069 --> 01:03:12,960 see the problem i have with that nelson 1718 01:03:15,589 --> 01:03:14,079 is 1719 01:03:18,710 --> 01:03:15,599 most people 1720 01:03:20,549 --> 01:03:18,720 including myself at times have problems 1721 01:03:23,270 --> 01:03:20,559 resolving the 1722 01:03:27,109 --> 01:03:23,280 data set of 1723 01:03:30,630 --> 01:03:27,119 the current disclosure the ufos the 1724 01:03:33,589 --> 01:03:30,640 obvious you know our best pilots our 1725 01:03:36,309 --> 01:03:33,599 best observers reporting them in the sky 1726 01:03:39,510 --> 01:03:36,319 the videos of them in the sky the 1727 01:03:41,910 --> 01:03:39,520 accounts of people who have a hard time 1728 01:03:45,190 --> 01:03:41,920 resolving that with 1729 01:03:47,109 --> 01:03:45,200 folklore mythology as we understand it 1730 01:03:49,190 --> 01:03:47,119 and i'd say you know like i have i have 1731 01:03:52,069 --> 01:03:49,200 a hard time talking to people if i don't 1732 01:03:54,390 --> 01:03:52,079 want to talk about covid and i i i don't 1733 01:03:56,630 --> 01:03:54,400 mind talking about covid i talked to the 1734 01:04:00,069 --> 01:03:56,640 other day he's a major broadcaster in 1735 01:04:01,589 --> 01:04:00,079 canada and you know i tr and he i want 1736 01:04:04,150 --> 01:04:01,599 to talk to him about the bigger 1737 01:04:06,789 --> 01:04:04,160 spiritual questions of evil is there 1738 01:04:09,190 --> 01:04:06,799 evil behind some of these people who we 1739 01:04:11,829 --> 01:04:09,200 see are running this program he could 1740 01:04:12,630 --> 01:04:11,839 not get there and i understand why he 1741 01:04:14,870 --> 01:04:12,640 has 1742 01:04:16,390 --> 01:04:14,880 his kids that he's sending to school 1743 01:04:19,349 --> 01:04:16,400 that are 1744 01:04:20,630 --> 01:04:19,359 encountering a mobile vaccination i 1745 01:04:23,109 --> 01:04:20,640 don't care what anyone thinks about 1746 01:04:24,549 --> 01:04:23,119 vaccination pro or khan 1747 01:04:27,109 --> 01:04:24,559 what he doesn't like is they have a 1748 01:04:29,750 --> 01:04:27,119 mobile vaccination station 1749 01:04:31,109 --> 01:04:29,760 and his kids are minors and they're said 1750 01:04:32,789 --> 01:04:31,119 hey it doesn't matter if you're a minor 1751 01:04:34,789 --> 01:04:32,799 it doesn't matter if your parents are 1752 01:04:36,390 --> 01:04:34,799 consenting you can come on in here and 1753 01:04:38,069 --> 01:04:36,400 you can decide yourself you know and 1754 01:04:40,470 --> 01:04:38,079 it's against the law and all the rest 1755 01:04:42,390 --> 01:04:40,480 yet he is like consumed with this 1756 01:04:45,029 --> 01:04:42,400 because he's a parent and he lives in 1757 01:04:46,950 --> 01:04:45,039 canada and it's just a trampling of laws 1758 01:04:49,510 --> 01:04:46,960 and rights and stuff like that 1759 01:04:51,349 --> 01:04:49,520 this is where people are at and i think 1760 01:04:55,109 --> 01:04:51,359 there's a corollary to where people are 1761 01:04:57,670 --> 01:04:55,119 at with ufos and the corollary is well 1762 01:04:59,190 --> 01:04:57,680 are they are they a threat what's going 1763 01:05:02,630 --> 01:04:59,200 on what is going to happen in my 1764 01:05:04,950 --> 01:05:02,640 lifetime is e.t going to take over in my 1765 01:05:08,069 --> 01:05:04,960 lifetime and i think when we hit people 1766 01:05:11,190 --> 01:05:08,079 with the folklore mythology data set 1767 01:05:12,789 --> 01:05:11,200 which is very real as you point out 1768 01:05:15,750 --> 01:05:12,799 it is somewhat 1769 01:05:17,750 --> 01:05:15,760 irresolvable you know you cannot resolve 1770 01:05:19,829 --> 01:05:17,760 i agree with that i just don't think it 1771 01:05:21,829 --> 01:05:19,839 is irresolvable 1772 01:05:23,750 --> 01:05:21,839 it's just the perception that it seems 1773 01:05:25,029 --> 01:05:23,760 so complicated that it wouldn't be 1774 01:05:27,109 --> 01:05:25,039 resolvable 1775 01:05:28,309 --> 01:05:27,119 but even for instance as joe atwell 1776 01:05:31,750 --> 01:05:28,319 should well 1777 01:05:34,309 --> 01:05:31,760 had this incredibly 1778 01:05:36,789 --> 01:05:34,319 paradoxical seeming data set of the new 1779 01:05:38,069 --> 01:05:36,799 testament and then just as one 1780 01:05:40,789 --> 01:05:38,079 researcher just 1781 01:05:42,069 --> 01:05:40,799 had this brilliant insight that josephus 1782 01:05:44,630 --> 01:05:42,079 was the 1783 01:05:46,870 --> 01:05:44,640 template for the new testament and 1784 01:05:48,950 --> 01:05:46,880 researchers before him but i studied the 1785 01:05:50,950 --> 01:05:48,960 new testament as well myself 1786 01:05:53,190 --> 01:05:50,960 and they this was the typical attitude 1787 01:05:55,349 --> 01:05:53,200 before atwood was that it's irresolvable 1788 01:05:57,029 --> 01:05:55,359 the new testament who wrote it for what 1789 01:05:59,029 --> 01:05:57,039 reasons why are there these 1790 01:06:02,150 --> 01:05:59,039 contradictions and 1791 01:06:04,390 --> 01:06:02,160 it's so ancient that we'll never know 1792 01:06:07,029 --> 01:06:04,400 but i just disagree with that i think 1793 01:06:09,589 --> 01:06:07,039 you can have insights and you can see 1794 01:06:11,829 --> 01:06:09,599 patterns like at will did for instance 1795 01:06:14,549 --> 01:06:11,839 absolutely classic just 1796 01:06:16,150 --> 01:06:14,559 in terms of analysis 1797 01:06:19,349 --> 01:06:16,160 that he could 1798 01:06:21,910 --> 01:06:19,359 find a pattern and he could 1799 01:06:24,069 --> 01:06:21,920 so firmly establish 1800 01:06:27,589 --> 01:06:24,079 causation as far as you possibly could i 1801 01:06:29,829 --> 01:06:27,599 think is a research of antiquity 1802 01:06:32,950 --> 01:06:29,839 and now even more and more of the 1803 01:06:34,309 --> 01:06:32,960 mainstream even in academia they're just 1804 01:06:35,990 --> 01:06:34,319 going with it they're not really giving 1805 01:06:37,670 --> 01:06:36,000 him credit but they're 1806 01:06:39,670 --> 01:06:37,680 they're agreeing with him 1807 01:06:41,990 --> 01:06:39,680 so i think we can come to resolve 1808 01:06:43,670 --> 01:06:42,000 analyses with these things i love it i 1809 01:06:46,069 --> 01:06:43,680 love it so let me push that a little bit 1810 01:06:47,430 --> 01:06:46,079 further let's try and connect a couple 1811 01:06:51,029 --> 01:06:47,440 of these 1812 01:06:51,829 --> 01:06:51,039 data sets i'll expand your your phrase 1813 01:06:54,630 --> 01:06:51,839 there 1814 01:06:56,710 --> 01:06:54,640 take the bruce fenton data set which i 1815 01:06:57,750 --> 01:06:56,720 think is very important in my mind 1816 01:07:01,109 --> 01:06:57,760 because 1817 01:07:03,910 --> 01:07:01,119 he has some really good science behind 1818 01:07:06,150 --> 01:07:03,920 that he has the astral tech tights and 1819 01:07:07,990 --> 01:07:06,160 the dating of those he has a bunch of 1820 01:07:10,069 --> 01:07:08,000 other stuff including 1821 01:07:13,270 --> 01:07:10,079 genetics genetics 1822 01:07:15,510 --> 01:07:13,280 very very powerful stuff so 1823 01:07:17,910 --> 01:07:15,520 from that falls out a couple other a 1824 01:07:20,950 --> 01:07:17,920 couple of things one calls 1825 01:07:23,349 --> 01:07:20,960 falls out is a clear pat a clear pattern 1826 01:07:24,950 --> 01:07:23,359 of genetic manipulation and the other is 1827 01:07:28,150 --> 01:07:24,960 a timeline that now 1828 01:07:29,990 --> 01:07:28,160 extends back to 800 000 years but the 1829 01:07:32,069 --> 01:07:30,000 other thing that fault that falls out of 1830 01:07:35,349 --> 01:07:32,079 that that a lot of people 1831 01:07:40,230 --> 01:07:35,359 don't immediately grab onto is 1832 01:07:41,589 --> 01:07:40,240 a very kind of a a faction divided 1833 01:07:44,630 --> 01:07:41,599 et 1834 01:07:45,430 --> 01:07:44,640 and maybe species divided e.t 1835 01:07:47,910 --> 01:07:45,440 that 1836 01:07:50,309 --> 01:07:47,920 we can certainly identify with you know 1837 01:07:52,630 --> 01:07:50,319 hey this is my planet no this is my 1838 01:07:54,309 --> 01:07:52,640 planet oh well i'm going to shoot at you 1839 01:07:56,789 --> 01:07:54,319 you're going to shoot at me i'm going to 1840 01:07:59,910 --> 01:07:56,799 win you're going to lose it sounds very 1841 01:08:03,910 --> 01:07:59,920 familiar it sounds very familiar so you 1842 01:08:07,109 --> 01:08:03,920 know back to my point of irresolvable so 1843 01:08:09,270 --> 01:08:07,119 if we take those and run with it run 1844 01:08:10,470 --> 01:08:09,280 with 800 000 years of genetic 1845 01:08:16,149 --> 01:08:10,480 manipulation 1846 01:08:17,910 --> 01:08:16,159 consistently reported by abductees is 1847 01:08:19,110 --> 01:08:17,920 it's all about genetics it's all about 1848 01:08:21,829 --> 01:08:19,120 this 1849 01:08:23,990 --> 01:08:21,839 here's where it doesn't resolve for me 1850 01:08:27,110 --> 01:08:24,000 when i hear people talk about uh 1851 01:08:29,349 --> 01:08:27,120 mythology they'll say like you said a 1852 01:08:31,189 --> 01:08:29,359 while back they seem to be obsessed with 1853 01:08:34,070 --> 01:08:31,199 bloodlines 1854 01:08:37,510 --> 01:08:34,080 no i look at bruce fenton and say dude 1855 01:08:39,590 --> 01:08:37,520 they are so far past bloodlines 1856 01:08:41,669 --> 01:08:39,600 they're doing genetic splicing in a 1857 01:08:43,590 --> 01:08:41,679 million different ways and creating all 1858 01:08:45,510 --> 01:08:43,600 these different in their garden they're 1859 01:08:46,870 --> 01:08:45,520 creating all these different varieties 1860 01:08:48,309 --> 01:08:46,880 and they're paring them down and they're 1861 01:08:51,829 --> 01:08:48,319 doing all this stuff 1862 01:08:55,030 --> 01:08:51,839 the idea of a literal 1863 01:08:57,749 --> 01:08:55,040 and that you know it it just is 1864 01:09:00,470 --> 01:08:57,759 it's it's a very it's it's a reading of 1865 01:09:02,709 --> 01:09:00,480 the folklore in mythology that doesn't 1866 01:09:04,630 --> 01:09:02,719 get us closer in that way it can't 1867 01:09:08,630 --> 01:09:04,640 really be resolved it can only be 1868 01:09:11,430 --> 01:09:08,640 resolved when we say oh perhaps that's a 1869 01:09:13,269 --> 01:09:11,440 metaphorical connection to what bruce 1870 01:09:15,910 --> 01:09:13,279 fenton is saying but we should never 1871 01:09:17,749 --> 01:09:15,920 dare take that literally that you know 1872 01:09:19,910 --> 01:09:17,759 they're worried about who they're 1873 01:09:22,229 --> 01:09:19,920 so that they get the the right 1874 01:09:25,590 --> 01:09:22,239 offspring kind of thing yeah that's a 1875 01:09:28,709 --> 01:09:25,600 huge can of worms right because 1876 01:09:31,910 --> 01:09:28,719 was it just the ancients describing it 1877 01:09:33,269 --> 01:09:31,920 laboratory style genetic manipulation 1878 01:09:36,149 --> 01:09:33,279 using 1879 01:09:37,829 --> 01:09:36,159 language such as bloodlines and breeding 1880 01:09:39,430 --> 01:09:37,839 into breeding 1881 01:09:42,229 --> 01:09:39,440 or was it more 1882 01:09:45,910 --> 01:09:42,239 a laboratory sterile objective 1883 01:09:49,030 --> 01:09:45,920 scientific manipulation of the genetics 1884 01:09:52,630 --> 01:09:49,040 but just taking the ancients literally 1885 01:09:54,310 --> 01:09:52,640 the gods and quotation marks were 1886 01:09:57,110 --> 01:09:54,320 lustful 1887 01:09:59,669 --> 01:09:57,120 sexually aroused by 1888 01:10:00,709 --> 01:09:59,679 human individuals and mated with them 1889 01:10:03,830 --> 01:10:00,719 right 1890 01:10:05,830 --> 01:10:03,840 and actually this is what uh ballet 1891 01:10:08,149 --> 01:10:05,840 fastball tonight um 1892 01:10:09,510 --> 01:10:08,159 begonia actually in that classic uh book 1893 01:10:11,910 --> 01:10:09,520 of his on 1894 01:10:13,669 --> 01:10:11,920 the continuum of folklore to ufology he 1895 01:10:15,669 --> 01:10:13,679 doesn't actually go back into 1896 01:10:17,590 --> 01:10:15,679 mythology but he does make the 1897 01:10:20,870 --> 01:10:17,600 connections between between sorry 1898 01:10:22,790 --> 01:10:20,880 folklore the witch trials and 1899 01:10:24,550 --> 01:10:22,800 ufology 1900 01:10:26,550 --> 01:10:24,560 and i actually just wrote this quote as 1901 01:10:27,590 --> 01:10:26,560 well because it's so important that 1902 01:10:30,470 --> 01:10:27,600 god 1903 01:10:32,550 --> 01:10:30,480 considerable problems arose however 1904 01:10:33,590 --> 01:10:32,560 when one had to identify the physical 1905 01:10:35,750 --> 01:10:33,600 process 1906 01:10:38,870 --> 01:10:35,760 of intercourse with demons 1907 01:10:40,229 --> 01:10:38,880 this is clearly a most difficult point 1908 01:10:42,790 --> 01:10:40,239 and then he writes in brackets as 1909 01:10:46,390 --> 01:10:42,800 difficult as that of identifying the 1910 01:10:48,310 --> 01:10:46,400 physical nature of flying sources 1911 01:10:50,149 --> 01:10:48,320 who wrote that and 1912 01:10:52,229 --> 01:10:50,159 that was valet that was vale's quote and 1913 01:10:53,830 --> 01:10:52,239 he was referring to the 1914 01:10:55,990 --> 01:10:53,840 um theologians 1915 01:10:57,990 --> 01:10:56,000 in the middle ages who were wrestling 1916 01:11:00,630 --> 01:10:58,000 with the 1917 01:11:03,669 --> 01:11:00,640 implications that this seemed to be 1918 01:11:05,430 --> 01:11:03,679 these entities these demons 1919 01:11:07,830 --> 01:11:05,440 who were interbreeding with humans 1920 01:11:09,189 --> 01:11:07,840 especially human females and creating 1921 01:11:11,830 --> 01:11:09,199 offspring eating 1922 01:11:13,669 --> 01:11:11,840 and how is this even possible is this 1923 01:11:15,590 --> 01:11:13,679 some sort of physical process some sort 1924 01:11:17,510 --> 01:11:15,600 of bloodline compatibility and when we 1925 01:11:19,510 --> 01:11:17,520 use the word bloodlines and all that 1926 01:11:20,950 --> 01:11:19,520 it's more of an old style of language 1927 01:11:22,630 --> 01:11:20,960 but 1928 01:11:24,550 --> 01:11:22,640 they didn't have that vocabulary to 1929 01:11:25,750 --> 01:11:24,560 describe this but just looking at it on 1930 01:11:27,669 --> 01:11:25,760 its surface 1931 01:11:29,669 --> 01:11:27,679 i still think we have to be 1932 01:11:31,430 --> 01:11:29,679 to be true to what the 1933 01:11:34,550 --> 01:11:31,440 ancient and the medieval sources were 1934 01:11:36,390 --> 01:11:34,560 saying it that there is this lust 1935 01:11:38,950 --> 01:11:36,400 it seems to be there seems to be a lust 1936 01:11:40,550 --> 01:11:38,960 of these entities like sexual desire of 1937 01:11:43,110 --> 01:11:40,560 these entities for 1938 01:11:45,110 --> 01:11:43,120 mating with humans so it's not just some 1939 01:11:47,270 --> 01:11:45,120 sterile laboratory thing 1940 01:11:49,350 --> 01:11:47,280 so i'd go a couple of different 1941 01:11:52,229 --> 01:11:49,360 directions with that 1942 01:11:55,270 --> 01:11:52,239 one that level of i don't know what to 1943 01:11:56,950 --> 01:11:55,280 even call it but but that to me that 1944 01:11:58,870 --> 01:11:56,960 resonates with this extended 1945 01:11:59,750 --> 01:11:58,880 consciousness realm that we're talking 1946 01:12:03,910 --> 01:11:59,760 about 1947 01:12:05,430 --> 01:12:03,920 those level of emotions uh to me 1948 01:12:07,990 --> 01:12:05,440 seem most 1949 01:12:10,149 --> 01:12:08,000 to most fit with the angels and the 1950 01:12:12,470 --> 01:12:10,159 demons and the extended consciousness 1951 01:12:14,229 --> 01:12:12,480 realm that filters through us so i 1952 01:12:15,430 --> 01:12:14,239 immediately want to pivot on that and 1953 01:12:17,110 --> 01:12:15,440 say hey 1954 01:12:20,709 --> 01:12:17,120 what do we really know what do we really 1955 01:12:24,229 --> 01:12:20,719 know of as lust and and lust being this 1956 01:12:27,189 --> 01:12:24,239 very human emotion but in so many ways 1957 01:12:29,990 --> 01:12:27,199 it seems to transcend our humanness and 1958 01:12:32,390 --> 01:12:30,000 that's both the allure of it and it's 1959 01:12:34,950 --> 01:12:32,400 also the destructive element of it and 1960 01:12:37,830 --> 01:12:34,960 that's been recorded forever so when we 1961 01:12:39,590 --> 01:12:37,840 talk about e.t with that i go back to my 1962 01:12:41,669 --> 01:12:39,600 question what does et's near-death 1963 01:12:43,990 --> 01:12:41,679 experience look like what is et's past 1964 01:12:46,790 --> 01:12:44,000 life what does et's life review look 1965 01:12:49,669 --> 01:12:46,800 like to me that gets us closer than 1966 01:12:52,950 --> 01:12:49,679 reading the sumerian tablets or reading 1967 01:12:53,990 --> 01:12:52,960 the anunnaki you know who say 1968 01:12:56,149 --> 01:12:54,000 what i was just hearing some of the 1969 01:12:58,470 --> 01:12:56,159 other days an expert in the anunnaki say 1970 01:13:00,470 --> 01:12:58,480 yeah you know we tried the genetic i'm 1971 01:13:03,189 --> 01:13:00,480 paraphrasing obviously we tried the 1972 01:13:04,950 --> 01:13:03,199 genetic engineering in a clay pot but 1973 01:13:06,950 --> 01:13:04,960 that didn't work so good so then they 1974 01:13:08,630 --> 01:13:06,960 had to shift to you know and you read 1975 01:13:10,790 --> 01:13:08,640 this stuff and you go 1976 01:13:12,229 --> 01:13:10,800 man i mean if they had genetic 1977 01:13:14,630 --> 01:13:12,239 engineering done i don't think they 1978 01:13:17,510 --> 01:13:14,640 tried it with a clay pot i think they 1979 01:13:18,310 --> 01:13:17,520 realized that might not work so well so 1980 01:13:20,070 --> 01:13:18,320 that's why i mean where it's 1981 01:13:22,709 --> 01:13:20,080 irresolvable and that's where we get 1982 01:13:24,709 --> 01:13:22,719 into this whole other layer of 1983 01:13:26,390 --> 01:13:24,719 false research or i don't want to call 1984 01:13:28,070 --> 01:13:26,400 it disinformation but 1985 01:13:30,310 --> 01:13:28,080 sitchin for instance 1986 01:13:32,390 --> 01:13:30,320 sitchin's the one who translated the 1987 01:13:33,430 --> 01:13:32,400 sumerian texts for anyone who doesn't 1988 01:13:35,590 --> 01:13:33,440 know and it's 1989 01:13:37,830 --> 01:13:35,600 it's just being very much criticized his 1990 01:13:38,790 --> 01:13:37,840 translations of certain words and that 1991 01:13:40,870 --> 01:13:38,800 it's very 1992 01:13:43,510 --> 01:13:40,880 much just leading into his 1993 01:13:44,870 --> 01:13:43,520 pet theory of this and i just i don't 1994 01:13:47,910 --> 01:13:44,880 want to go there too much because that's 1995 01:13:50,950 --> 01:13:47,920 not my field but we would we would have 1996 01:13:51,910 --> 01:13:50,960 to interject that over time 1997 01:13:57,669 --> 01:13:51,920 some of 1998 01:14:00,470 --> 01:13:57,679 have proven to be much more accurate 1999 01:14:02,550 --> 01:14:00,480 than the original academic 2000 01:14:04,390 --> 01:14:02,560 interpretations of it so we're in this 2001 01:14:07,030 --> 01:14:04,400 no man's land that we we kind of 2002 01:14:09,350 --> 01:14:07,040 returned to of like yeah did he take it 2003 01:14:11,669 --> 01:14:09,360 too far and did he misquote it yes but 2004 01:14:14,709 --> 01:14:11,679 was he on somehow the right track in 2005 01:14:15,750 --> 01:14:14,719 some way we don't know right but yeah 2006 01:14:17,830 --> 01:14:15,760 because 2007 01:14:19,830 --> 01:14:17,840 just from my perspective just looking at 2008 01:14:20,790 --> 01:14:19,840 it as academically as possible i would 2009 01:14:22,870 --> 01:14:20,800 just 2010 01:14:25,110 --> 01:14:22,880 use the standard trends academic 2011 01:14:27,350 --> 01:14:25,120 translations of these texts like the 2012 01:14:29,430 --> 01:14:27,360 enumera elisha and these other like the 2013 01:14:31,750 --> 01:14:29,440 gilgamesh epic and all these different 2014 01:14:33,669 --> 01:14:31,760 ones and just use the standard 2015 01:14:35,030 --> 01:14:33,679 academic translations which are accepted 2016 01:14:37,189 --> 01:14:35,040 by everyone 2017 01:14:39,669 --> 01:14:37,199 and you don't even need some specific 2018 01:14:40,390 --> 01:14:39,679 special translations of words to just 2019 01:14:42,870 --> 01:14:40,400 see 2020 01:14:44,709 --> 01:14:42,880 just this overwhelming pattern of 2021 01:14:46,709 --> 01:14:44,719 interbreeding between 2022 01:14:48,790 --> 01:14:46,719 gods and humans 2023 01:14:49,830 --> 01:14:48,800 and this is in in different continents 2024 01:14:52,229 --> 01:14:49,840 even going 2025 01:14:54,550 --> 01:14:52,239 right into the folklore of the american 2026 01:14:58,310 --> 01:14:54,560 indian rd6 killer clarks 2027 01:15:00,950 --> 01:14:58,320 the professor of um anthropology right 2028 01:15:03,669 --> 01:15:00,960 and her reports of these that later 2029 01:15:07,110 --> 01:15:03,679 people star people is with them 2030 01:15:09,750 --> 01:15:07,120 and and at several books as well now and 2031 01:15:11,110 --> 01:15:09,760 it's just remarkable the continuum 2032 01:15:13,430 --> 01:15:11,120 throughout time 2033 01:15:14,709 --> 01:15:13,440 and even of 2034 01:15:16,310 --> 01:15:14,719 beings 2035 01:15:18,790 --> 01:15:16,320 that we would have encountered in 2036 01:15:21,110 --> 01:15:18,800 mythology of these serpentine beings 2037 01:15:22,470 --> 01:15:21,120 even what david ike has been passing on 2038 01:15:24,550 --> 01:15:22,480 which he was ex 2039 01:15:26,310 --> 01:15:24,560 just absolutely made a laughing stock 2040 01:15:28,550 --> 01:15:26,320 off in the mainstream but 2041 01:15:29,590 --> 01:15:28,560 what is this is of a coincidence that 2042 01:15:31,510 --> 01:15:29,600 you've got 2043 01:15:33,030 --> 01:15:31,520 people these traditional people on the 2044 01:15:34,229 --> 01:15:33,040 other side of the world 2045 01:15:35,910 --> 01:15:34,239 in america 2046 01:15:37,830 --> 01:15:35,920 birth this 2047 01:15:40,070 --> 01:15:37,840 relatively unbroken tradition of 2048 01:15:40,870 --> 01:15:40,080 folklore and they're even experiencing 2049 01:15:43,950 --> 01:15:40,880 these 2050 01:15:46,310 --> 01:15:43,960 serpentine seemingly interdimensional 2051 01:15:48,070 --> 01:15:46,320 metamorphising beings that are 2052 01:15:49,350 --> 01:15:48,080 serpentine and they seem hostile to 2053 01:15:51,750 --> 01:15:49,360 humans 2054 01:15:54,630 --> 01:15:51,760 and just as a researcher 2055 01:15:57,110 --> 01:15:54,640 who's open-minded you just have to 2056 01:15:59,030 --> 01:15:57,120 take these seriously you just can't just 2057 01:16:01,189 --> 01:15:59,040 pass them off as nonsense 2058 01:16:02,950 --> 01:16:01,199 hey that's a that's a super great point 2059 01:16:03,750 --> 01:16:02,960 and i think you i think you did i think 2060 01:16:07,270 --> 01:16:03,760 you 2061 01:16:11,110 --> 01:16:07,280 won that one in terms of that's a very 2062 01:16:14,070 --> 01:16:11,120 direct here and now example of where we 2063 01:16:16,470 --> 01:16:14,080 are forced to resolve that we are forced 2064 01:16:17,990 --> 01:16:16,480 which is your point we do have to kind 2065 01:16:20,310 --> 01:16:18,000 of and that's what i think you're 2066 01:16:23,590 --> 01:16:20,320 advocating hey that has to be part of 2067 01:16:25,110 --> 01:16:23,600 your paradigm in a here now kind of 2068 01:16:28,070 --> 01:16:25,120 world because 2069 01:16:30,790 --> 01:16:28,080 as you point out if we go to the 2070 01:16:33,189 --> 01:16:30,800 native american tradition some of those 2071 01:16:35,669 --> 01:16:33,199 encounters are not that 2072 01:16:37,750 --> 01:16:35,679 they're more or less present day kind of 2073 01:16:39,750 --> 01:16:37,760 thing or within a couple of generations 2074 01:16:41,830 --> 01:16:39,760 yeah like her latest book i think it's 2075 01:16:44,630 --> 01:16:41,840 the latest book the one on 2076 01:16:46,070 --> 01:16:44,640 uh different seeming species of 2077 01:16:48,790 --> 01:16:46,080 ufo beings 2078 01:16:52,550 --> 01:16:48,800 and one of the sections on this is on 2079 01:16:54,390 --> 01:16:52,560 these reptilian sort of entities which 2080 01:16:56,950 --> 01:16:54,400 are shape-shifters 2081 01:16:58,709 --> 01:16:56,960 and she's getting these reports 2082 01:17:00,229 --> 01:16:58,719 apparently from 2083 01:17:03,510 --> 01:17:00,239 veterans from 2084 01:17:04,870 --> 01:17:03,520 vietnam and from more recent uh reports 2085 01:17:07,669 --> 01:17:04,880 as well so it's very 2086 01:17:09,270 --> 01:17:07,679 uh recent all of her accounts and i just 2087 01:17:12,709 --> 01:17:09,280 find her a 2088 01:17:15,510 --> 01:17:12,719 relatively trustworthy thought i mean 2089 01:17:18,310 --> 01:17:15,520 professor for retired now but professor 2090 01:17:20,229 --> 01:17:18,320 of anthropology and she seems to have 2091 01:17:22,790 --> 01:17:20,239 good protocols for 2092 01:17:25,030 --> 01:17:22,800 the collection of data and not 2093 01:17:27,910 --> 01:17:25,040 seeming to have leading questions unlike 2094 01:17:29,750 --> 01:17:27,920 for instance what i saw from 2095 01:17:32,390 --> 01:17:29,760 for instance the betting barney hill 2096 01:17:34,070 --> 01:17:32,400 case way back in the 50s with 2097 01:17:36,310 --> 01:17:34,080 the hypnosis that was done and there's 2098 01:17:38,149 --> 01:17:36,320 the audio of this which is available on 2099 01:17:39,910 --> 01:17:38,159 youtube that you can actually hear the 2100 01:17:42,550 --> 01:17:39,920 original recordings 2101 01:17:46,870 --> 01:17:42,560 and this hypnotist is asking extremely 2102 01:17:48,870 --> 01:17:46,880 leading questions and is filling in even 2103 01:17:51,669 --> 01:17:48,880 what the meaning of certain things are 2104 01:17:54,070 --> 01:17:51,679 so i was just very impressed with rd six 2105 01:17:57,030 --> 01:17:54,080 killer clock book for instance on 2106 01:17:59,430 --> 01:17:57,040 on these different seeming species of 2107 01:18:01,910 --> 01:17:59,440 ufo beings if we can call them that 2108 01:18:02,950 --> 01:18:01,920 in quotation marks 2109 01:18:05,270 --> 01:18:02,960 and 2110 01:18:08,070 --> 01:18:05,280 this is very strange right that there 2111 01:18:10,149 --> 01:18:08,080 would seem to be 2112 01:18:11,590 --> 01:18:10,159 these species these factions which are 2113 01:18:13,430 --> 01:18:11,600 fighting against each other and that 2114 01:18:16,070 --> 01:18:13,440 they're actually 2115 01:18:19,189 --> 01:18:16,080 in their encounters with humans 2116 01:18:19,990 --> 01:18:19,199 explicitly telling the humans 2117 01:18:22,229 --> 01:18:20,000 that 2118 01:18:23,350 --> 01:18:22,239 there are these factions of these beings 2119 01:18:25,510 --> 01:18:23,360 and that they're 2120 01:18:26,790 --> 01:18:25,520 fighting against each other and that 2121 01:18:29,110 --> 01:18:26,800 some are 2122 01:18:31,510 --> 01:18:29,120 extremely hostile to humans these 2123 01:18:34,149 --> 01:18:31,520 reptilians 2124 01:18:36,390 --> 01:18:34,159 and the which are also shape-shifters as 2125 01:18:38,070 --> 01:18:36,400 well to at least some degree 2126 01:18:40,229 --> 01:18:38,080 and these 2127 01:18:40,950 --> 01:18:40,239 other species if we can call them this 2128 01:18:42,630 --> 01:18:40,960 of 2129 01:18:45,030 --> 01:18:42,640 these ufo beings 2130 01:18:46,550 --> 01:18:45,040 which seem to be more 2131 01:18:47,669 --> 01:18:46,560 friendly towards humans and even 2132 01:18:49,910 --> 01:18:47,679 protecting 2133 01:18:52,470 --> 01:18:49,920 humans from from 2134 01:18:54,229 --> 01:18:52,480 disease and curing people and taking 2135 01:18:56,310 --> 01:18:54,239 them away from war zones for instance 2136 01:18:58,550 --> 01:18:56,320 and i just see this pattern over and 2137 01:19:01,189 --> 01:18:58,560 over again of 2138 01:19:02,229 --> 01:19:01,199 factions or species of these ufo beings 2139 01:19:04,070 --> 01:19:02,239 which are 2140 01:19:05,910 --> 01:19:04,080 in conflict with each other and humans 2141 01:19:07,669 --> 01:19:05,920 seem to be 2142 01:19:10,550 --> 01:19:07,679 in the middle of this and quite 2143 01:19:11,510 --> 01:19:10,560 unwitting and even quite 2144 01:19:13,350 --> 01:19:11,520 minor 2145 01:19:14,870 --> 01:19:13,360 players in the whole 2146 01:19:17,030 --> 01:19:14,880 cosmos 2147 01:19:19,430 --> 01:19:17,040 and this is actually exactly what we see 2148 01:19:23,590 --> 01:19:19,440 in mythology that 2149 01:19:25,910 --> 01:19:23,600 humans are actually very minor in the 2150 01:19:28,310 --> 01:19:25,920 scale of the cosmos and 2151 01:19:30,709 --> 01:19:28,320 the different species if we can call 2152 01:19:32,390 --> 01:19:30,719 them that of these gods in conflict with 2153 01:19:34,229 --> 01:19:32,400 each other for instance in the in greek 2154 01:19:36,470 --> 01:19:34,239 mythology it's between the 2155 01:19:39,189 --> 01:19:36,480 olympians and the titans 2156 01:19:41,270 --> 01:19:39,199 and there's this great struggle between 2157 01:19:42,870 --> 01:19:41,280 zeus for instance the 2158 01:19:44,470 --> 01:19:42,880 king of the olympians the leader of the 2159 01:19:47,430 --> 01:19:44,480 olympians and 2160 01:19:49,270 --> 01:19:47,440 prometheus the titan who is 2161 01:19:52,310 --> 01:19:49,280 aiding humans it seems giving them 2162 01:19:55,189 --> 01:19:52,320 technology giving humans technology 2163 01:19:58,950 --> 01:19:55,199 and zeus being so so angry at this that 2164 01:20:01,110 --> 01:19:58,960 he tortured prometheus in perpetuity 2165 01:20:03,750 --> 01:20:01,120 and then you've got in this fragmented 2166 01:20:05,430 --> 01:20:03,760 hesiod who is one of the most important 2167 01:20:09,030 --> 01:20:05,440 sources of mythology 2168 01:20:10,709 --> 01:20:09,040 it explicitly detailing how jews decided 2169 01:20:12,390 --> 01:20:10,719 that there was too much interbreeding 2170 01:20:13,110 --> 01:20:12,400 between 2171 01:20:28,310 --> 01:20:13,120 the 2172 01:20:31,189 --> 01:20:28,320 bloodlines so it's it's very much a 2173 01:20:33,510 --> 01:20:31,199 pattern again that we see in euphoria 2174 01:20:35,110 --> 01:20:33,520 these factions who are fighting amongst 2175 01:20:36,709 --> 01:20:35,120 themselves and humans seem to be in the 2176 01:20:39,110 --> 01:20:36,719 middle of this and 2177 01:20:40,470 --> 01:20:39,120 just small players and then you've got 2178 01:20:42,709 --> 01:20:40,480 mythology 2179 01:20:44,950 --> 01:20:42,719 basically saying the same thing hey let 2180 01:20:47,669 --> 01:20:44,960 me let me jump in there that is that is 2181 01:20:49,510 --> 01:20:47,679 wonderful and i see where 2182 01:20:51,270 --> 01:20:49,520 now i see more clearly where you've been 2183 01:20:54,070 --> 01:20:51,280 going all along 2184 01:20:56,390 --> 01:20:54,080 and i i just here would be my my 2185 01:20:58,550 --> 01:20:56,400 pushback the the interesting part of the 2186 01:21:01,110 --> 01:20:58,560 discussion we can have 2187 01:21:03,590 --> 01:21:01,120 to me it seems like uh one it seems like 2188 01:21:05,750 --> 01:21:03,600 a why evil matters kind of question it 2189 01:21:08,149 --> 01:21:05,760 also seems like an as below so above 2190 01:21:09,910 --> 01:21:08,159 kind of question in terms of we see the 2191 01:21:12,390 --> 01:21:09,920 same thing 2192 01:21:15,510 --> 01:21:12,400 within ourselves and within our culture 2193 01:21:17,910 --> 01:21:15,520 people who are deemed as less worthy 2194 01:21:20,229 --> 01:21:17,920 less valuable and we've done this 2195 01:21:21,990 --> 01:21:20,239 throughout our recorded history you know 2196 01:21:23,030 --> 01:21:22,000 these people can be ignored these people 2197 01:21:25,669 --> 01:21:23,040 can be 2198 01:21:28,870 --> 01:21:25,679 butchered killed in all sorts of ways 2199 01:21:31,430 --> 01:21:28,880 enslaved all these things so this idea 2200 01:21:34,950 --> 01:21:31,440 of there being this hierarchy that we 2201 01:21:38,229 --> 01:21:34,960 impose that is beyond any kind of moral 2202 01:21:40,709 --> 01:21:38,239 imperative of some ultimate highest form 2203 01:21:43,350 --> 01:21:40,719 of the consciousness is 2204 01:21:45,750 --> 01:21:43,360 it is always that question 2205 01:21:46,790 --> 01:21:45,760 and maybe i'm not being direct enough so 2206 01:21:48,950 --> 01:21:46,800 the point 2207 01:21:51,990 --> 01:21:48,960 i would make is do we think 2208 01:21:54,229 --> 01:21:52,000 consciousness is hierarchical are we 2209 01:21:56,790 --> 01:21:54,239 willing to speculate that there is a 2210 01:21:59,590 --> 01:21:56,800 hierarchy and that hierarchy would point 2211 01:22:00,629 --> 01:21:59,600 to something that we would identify as 2212 01:22:02,950 --> 01:22:00,639 god 2213 01:22:04,950 --> 01:22:02,960 and i think that most of our wisdom 2214 01:22:07,510 --> 01:22:04,960 traditions would tell us 2215 01:22:09,510 --> 01:22:07,520 and along with the science that i see 2216 01:22:12,870 --> 01:22:09,520 like the near-death experience science 2217 01:22:14,310 --> 01:22:12,880 is telling us that the prometheus is a 2218 01:22:20,550 --> 01:22:14,320 head fake 2219 01:22:22,550 --> 01:22:20,560 the sense of if you think that's god 2220 01:22:24,790 --> 01:22:22,560 you've kind of missed the point the 2221 01:22:27,189 --> 01:22:24,800 point is they're going to have a life 2222 01:22:29,350 --> 01:22:27,199 review too and they have a soul and 2223 01:22:31,350 --> 01:22:29,360 their soul is on some kind of journey 2224 01:22:32,870 --> 01:22:31,360 that we can't understand and this is why 2225 01:22:35,110 --> 01:22:32,880 i'm being reluctant to go there because 2226 01:22:36,870 --> 01:22:35,120 we can't really talk about this stuff in 2227 01:22:38,629 --> 01:22:36,880 any meaningful way but at the same time 2228 01:22:40,790 --> 01:22:38,639 i think if we don't i think that's the 2229 01:22:42,790 --> 01:22:40,800 limiting belief i think we can 2230 01:22:45,510 --> 01:22:42,800 we just need to look at the data 2231 01:22:48,550 --> 01:22:45,520 and if we look at near-death experiences 2232 01:22:49,270 --> 01:22:48,560 it's undeniable that there's a hierarchy 2233 01:22:52,470 --> 01:22:49,280 of 2234 01:22:54,550 --> 01:22:52,480 souls shown there all the way up to 2235 01:22:56,550 --> 01:22:54,560 what you could call god 2236 01:22:58,149 --> 01:22:56,560 and we see this in the mythology as well 2237 01:22:59,350 --> 01:22:58,159 they're talking about hierarchies it's 2238 01:23:00,790 --> 01:22:59,360 extremely 2239 01:23:02,629 --> 01:23:00,800 hierarchical 2240 01:23:05,510 --> 01:23:02,639 so we just look at the data and the data 2241 01:23:07,030 --> 01:23:05,520 shows overwhelmingly that it's not 2242 01:23:08,629 --> 01:23:07,040 egalitarian there are there are 2243 01:23:10,870 --> 01:23:08,639 hierarchies and 2244 01:23:12,149 --> 01:23:10,880 in these wisdom traditions and these 2245 01:23:13,350 --> 01:23:12,159 extremely 2246 01:23:15,750 --> 01:23:13,360 internal 2247 01:23:18,390 --> 01:23:15,760 meditative traditions in 2248 01:23:19,990 --> 01:23:18,400 tibet and in india we're seeing exactly 2249 01:23:21,110 --> 01:23:20,000 the same thing as well let me just 2250 01:23:22,390 --> 01:23:21,120 interject here because i want to get 2251 01:23:25,430 --> 01:23:22,400 your thought on this 2252 01:23:27,189 --> 01:23:25,440 the way i read that from a lot of the 2253 01:23:29,830 --> 01:23:27,199 indian tradition and the non-dual 2254 01:23:32,229 --> 01:23:29,840 tradition is that what we're what we're 2255 01:23:36,470 --> 01:23:32,239 really looking at is 2256 01:23:38,470 --> 01:23:36,480 confusion is misunderstanding is a less 2257 01:23:40,310 --> 01:23:38,480 than full learning and that if we did 2258 01:23:42,390 --> 01:23:40,320 look at it more broadly and i'm just 2259 01:23:45,669 --> 01:23:42,400 throwing this out as a hypothesis is 2260 01:23:48,709 --> 01:23:45,679 that that kind of hierarchy is 2261 01:23:52,390 --> 01:23:48,719 attuned to our consciousness down here 2262 01:23:54,790 --> 01:23:52,400 but that the ultimate reality is that 2263 01:23:56,629 --> 01:23:54,800 we're all just bubbles in the ocean and 2264 01:23:58,229 --> 01:23:56,639 there's a lot of bubbles in the ocean 2265 01:24:00,470 --> 01:23:58,239 and every time a wave hits there's a 2266 01:24:02,790 --> 01:24:00,480 bunch of new bubbles don't get too hung 2267 01:24:05,189 --> 01:24:02,800 up on your bubble and don't get too in 2268 01:24:08,149 --> 01:24:05,199 prometheus man that's a big bubble but 2269 01:24:09,590 --> 01:24:08,159 it's just a bubble that would be 2270 01:24:11,830 --> 01:24:09,600 the non-dual 2271 01:24:13,669 --> 01:24:11,840 philosophy that we're all kind of back 2272 01:24:15,910 --> 01:24:13,679 to that sorry to interrupt that this is 2273 01:24:17,350 --> 01:24:15,920 the biggest debate in indian philosophy 2274 01:24:19,910 --> 01:24:17,360 right in vedanta 2275 01:24:21,270 --> 01:24:19,920 of dualism versus non-jewish and 2276 01:24:23,830 --> 01:24:21,280 qualified 2277 01:24:24,790 --> 01:24:23,840 non-dualism so you've got these mixtures 2278 01:24:29,030 --> 01:24:24,800 of 2279 01:24:31,110 --> 01:24:29,040 but i i just 2280 01:24:32,229 --> 01:24:31,120 think look at the data right 2281 01:24:33,669 --> 01:24:32,239 and 2282 01:24:35,590 --> 01:24:33,679 the data is showing that there are 2283 01:24:37,830 --> 01:24:35,600 hierarchies so i just think 2284 01:24:39,510 --> 01:24:37,840 you've got to somehow get around that 2285 01:24:42,229 --> 01:24:39,520 you could say that 2286 01:24:44,229 --> 01:24:42,239 there's something beyond it 2287 01:24:47,270 --> 01:24:44,239 but to just deny that there is hierarchy 2288 01:24:49,110 --> 01:24:47,280 within the nde experiences would just be 2289 01:24:51,030 --> 01:24:49,120 to just falsify things right now i just 2290 01:24:53,189 --> 01:24:51,040 want to be clear about that then let's 2291 01:24:54,950 --> 01:24:53,199 agree on that and see where that takes 2292 01:24:57,430 --> 01:24:54,960 us because 2293 01:25:00,149 --> 01:24:57,440 sometimes what i hear 2294 01:25:02,310 --> 01:25:00,159 you saying and i hear this in the in the 2295 01:25:04,950 --> 01:25:02,320 mythology folklore you know 2296 01:25:06,149 --> 01:25:04,960 shape-shifting alien kind of thing 2297 01:25:11,189 --> 01:25:06,159 is 2298 01:25:13,510 --> 01:25:11,199 different than i would assume it to be 2299 01:25:15,110 --> 01:25:13,520 so when i look at 2300 01:25:17,830 --> 01:25:15,120 ted bundy 2301 01:25:18,870 --> 01:25:17,840 and i look at somebody who i think was 2302 01:25:23,430 --> 01:25:18,880 being 2303 01:25:26,149 --> 01:25:23,440 consciousness realm 2304 01:25:28,709 --> 01:25:26,159 i'm not sure where to put ted bundy in 2305 01:25:31,510 --> 01:25:28,719 that hierarchy when i look at the people 2306 01:25:33,830 --> 01:25:31,520 who are behind some of these 2307 01:25:37,189 --> 01:25:33,840 global control mechanisms that seem to 2308 01:25:40,629 --> 01:25:37,199 be imposed on us when i look at you know 2309 01:25:43,110 --> 01:25:40,639 the arrival matters the annika lucas 2310 01:25:45,270 --> 01:25:43,120 souled into a satanic ritual abuse cult 2311 01:25:47,910 --> 01:25:45,280 at six years old by her mother 2312 01:25:50,310 --> 01:25:47,920 i don't know what her how her mother 2313 01:25:53,189 --> 01:25:50,320 fits in the hierarchy i don't know how 2314 01:25:56,709 --> 01:25:53,199 the people who brought this child to a 2315 01:25:59,510 --> 01:25:56,719 mansion and were the highest ranking 2316 01:26:01,750 --> 01:25:59,520 the european rulers and raped a 2317 01:26:04,470 --> 01:26:01,760 six-year-old i don't know how they fit 2318 01:26:06,870 --> 01:26:04,480 into this hierarchy but i would suggest 2319 01:26:09,350 --> 01:26:06,880 my gut instinct is that if we're 2320 01:26:11,590 --> 01:26:09,360 thinking of it as purely a human 2321 01:26:13,990 --> 01:26:11,600 hierarchy we're kind of missing the 2322 01:26:16,790 --> 01:26:14,000 point and i would say this similarly 2323 01:26:19,590 --> 01:26:16,800 that if we're thinking of the reptilian 2324 01:26:22,470 --> 01:26:19,600 who's raping the abductee which we hear 2325 01:26:24,070 --> 01:26:22,480 about in the et encounters as somehow 2326 01:26:26,709 --> 01:26:24,080 fitting into this hierarchy and we're 2327 01:26:29,910 --> 01:26:26,719 going to slot him or her in there or 2328 01:26:30,950 --> 01:26:29,920 there i don't think we have the ability 2329 01:26:33,990 --> 01:26:30,960 to 2330 01:26:36,550 --> 01:26:34,000 do that in a way that is reliable 2331 01:26:38,390 --> 01:26:36,560 i agree because we just we we can't 2332 01:26:40,790 --> 01:26:38,400 really look into the minds of these 2333 01:26:42,790 --> 01:26:40,800 individuals right we have to also leave 2334 01:26:44,070 --> 01:26:42,800 open the possibility that 2335 01:26:46,229 --> 01:26:44,080 there is 2336 01:26:48,390 --> 01:26:46,239 direct entity possession of people and 2337 01:26:50,229 --> 01:26:48,400 this goes way back 2338 01:26:53,830 --> 01:26:50,239 into the ancient past and we wouldn't 2339 01:26:56,550 --> 01:26:53,840 even know where to slot those entities 2340 01:26:58,310 --> 01:26:56,560 uh i can even give you some some 2341 01:27:00,229 --> 01:26:58,320 data point here which i actually wrote 2342 01:27:01,830 --> 01:27:00,239 down before shows 2343 01:27:03,510 --> 01:27:01,840 because we didn't really discuss 2344 01:27:05,510 --> 01:27:03,520 much of this we're just really opening 2345 01:27:08,070 --> 01:27:05,520 cans of worms here that according to 2346 01:27:09,990 --> 01:27:08,080 wikipedia on spirit possession i'll just 2347 01:27:13,030 --> 01:27:10,000 cloak the sentence quote 2348 01:27:16,070 --> 01:27:13,040 in a 1969 study funded by the national 2349 01:27:18,310 --> 01:27:16,080 institute of mental health 2350 01:27:20,709 --> 01:27:18,320 spirit possession beliefs were found to 2351 01:27:24,470 --> 01:27:20,719 exist in 74 2352 01:27:28,870 --> 01:27:24,480 of a sample of 488 societies in all 2353 01:27:30,229 --> 01:27:28,880 parts of the world so 74 of societies 2354 01:27:32,310 --> 01:27:30,239 that's great 2355 01:27:34,390 --> 01:27:32,320 that's a great quote wikipedia finally 2356 01:27:35,830 --> 01:27:34,400 pays off 2357 01:27:37,669 --> 01:27:35,840 yes and i just think you just got to 2358 01:27:39,510 --> 01:27:37,679 follow the data with these things and 2359 01:27:41,189 --> 01:27:39,520 there's too much speculation too much 2360 01:27:43,510 --> 01:27:41,199 philosophizing 2361 01:27:46,310 --> 01:27:43,520 without really getting the feet firmly 2362 01:27:47,990 --> 01:27:46,320 on the ground of the data itself right 2363 01:27:49,270 --> 01:27:48,000 but but i'm going to drill on this a 2364 01:27:53,590 --> 01:27:49,280 little bit further 2365 01:27:55,590 --> 01:27:53,600 i'm suggesting that that data again is 2366 01:27:57,990 --> 01:27:55,600 even when we creep closer to it's all 2367 01:28:01,430 --> 01:27:58,000 about exactly what you're doing is that 2368 01:28:03,350 --> 01:28:01,440 the data moves us closer to being a 2369 01:28:05,590 --> 01:28:03,360 little bit less wrong we're always going 2370 01:28:07,750 --> 01:28:05,600 to be wrong but a little bit less wrong 2371 01:28:09,590 --> 01:28:07,760 but where i see a lot of people going 2372 01:28:11,910 --> 01:28:09,600 with that and it seemed like you were 2373 01:28:14,149 --> 01:28:11,920 with me and you agreed is that the 2374 01:28:17,990 --> 01:28:14,159 implications of that are unclear the 2375 01:28:20,470 --> 01:28:18,000 implications of where we would slot the 2376 01:28:24,070 --> 01:28:20,480 demon that's possessing someone in the 2377 01:28:25,990 --> 01:28:24,080 hierarchical structure is unclear to us 2378 01:28:26,870 --> 01:28:26,000 just like it's unclear where we would 2379 01:28:30,229 --> 01:28:26,880 slot 2380 01:28:31,510 --> 01:28:30,239 somebody who is out there living 2381 01:28:34,070 --> 01:28:31,520 right next to us that you're going to 2382 01:28:37,750 --> 01:28:34,080 walk past the street that is an advanced 2383 01:28:39,990 --> 01:28:37,760 human being of a spiritual order that we 2384 01:28:42,870 --> 01:28:40,000 can't really understand maybe that 2385 01:28:45,189 --> 01:28:42,880 person would be slotted like way way up 2386 01:28:47,510 --> 01:28:45,199 there i don't think we know and i think 2387 01:28:48,550 --> 01:28:47,520 we we make the mistake when we assume 2388 01:28:54,470 --> 01:28:48,560 that 2389 01:28:57,510 --> 01:28:54,480 grasp i don't think it is 2390 01:28:59,270 --> 01:28:57,520 no i agree i agree with that because 2391 01:29:02,709 --> 01:28:59,280 how do we even define 2392 01:29:05,270 --> 01:29:02,719 what is a more evolved being if we can 2393 01:29:07,030 --> 01:29:05,280 just use this hierarchy as a structure 2394 01:29:08,790 --> 01:29:07,040 we've identified this in the data but 2395 01:29:11,350 --> 01:29:08,800 how do we even define 2396 01:29:12,550 --> 01:29:11,360 what is then a more advanced being for 2397 01:29:14,470 --> 01:29:12,560 instance 2398 01:29:16,470 --> 01:29:14,480 the typical 2399 01:29:18,390 --> 01:29:16,480 ancient religious fear was that 2400 01:29:21,189 --> 01:29:18,400 especially in the east in india and in 2401 01:29:23,990 --> 01:29:21,199 tibet was that the 2402 01:29:26,629 --> 01:29:24,000 the more advanced being was just just 2403 01:29:28,149 --> 01:29:26,639 beyond the physical and had released the 2404 01:29:30,390 --> 01:29:28,159 attachments of 2405 01:29:31,830 --> 01:29:30,400 the physical so to speak 2406 01:29:33,030 --> 01:29:31,840 and was 2407 01:29:38,470 --> 01:29:33,040 in 2408 01:29:39,590 --> 01:29:38,480 huge can of worms here because i haven't 2409 01:29:40,870 --> 01:29:39,600 actually 2410 01:29:43,270 --> 01:29:40,880 heard anyone 2411 01:29:44,229 --> 01:29:43,280 say this before but i 2412 01:29:47,270 --> 01:29:44,239 was 2413 01:29:49,350 --> 01:29:47,280 reading about what carl gustav jung the 2414 01:29:50,629 --> 01:29:49,360 psychologist wrote about his ufo 2415 01:29:53,110 --> 01:29:50,639 experience because he wrote a book on 2416 01:29:54,790 --> 01:29:53,120 you of course as well and he relates the 2417 01:29:57,669 --> 01:29:54,800 dream that he had 2418 01:30:00,149 --> 01:29:57,679 where he was by a lake in this dream and 2419 01:30:02,149 --> 01:30:00,159 it seems very very vivid and real and on 2420 01:30:04,709 --> 01:30:02,159 the edge of the lake there was this 2421 01:30:07,270 --> 01:30:04,719 light which was obvious and 2422 01:30:08,709 --> 01:30:07,280 grew larger and became a ufo 2423 01:30:11,669 --> 01:30:08,719 and from this 2424 01:30:14,390 --> 01:30:11,679 this ufo came this beam of light and 2425 01:30:17,510 --> 01:30:14,400 it's shone on him and somehow he had 2426 01:30:19,350 --> 01:30:17,520 this intuition this feeling that he 2427 01:30:20,390 --> 01:30:19,360 cargo starving the 2428 01:30:21,990 --> 01:30:20,400 individual 2429 01:30:25,270 --> 01:30:22,000 was actually 2430 01:30:27,350 --> 01:30:25,280 a projection of the u.s so that he was 2431 01:30:29,189 --> 01:30:27,360 created by the ufo 2432 01:30:30,550 --> 01:30:29,199 and this to me was absolutely 2433 01:30:33,510 --> 01:30:30,560 mind-blowing when i started thinking 2434 01:30:34,870 --> 01:30:33,520 about this because i respect calculus 2435 01:30:35,750 --> 01:30:34,880 just his 2436 01:30:38,390 --> 01:30:35,760 his 2437 01:30:40,629 --> 01:30:38,400 audacity just to open up these these 2438 01:30:43,110 --> 01:30:40,639 more hidden fields 2439 01:30:45,110 --> 01:30:43,120 and just his experiences to relate them 2440 01:30:48,550 --> 01:30:45,120 and it's just seemed so bizarre that a 2441 01:30:51,669 --> 01:30:48,560 ufo would actually be creating 2442 01:30:52,790 --> 01:30:51,679 yourself your own ego your own physical 2443 01:30:55,350 --> 01:30:52,800 body 2444 01:30:57,030 --> 01:30:55,360 and then i started to wonder 2445 01:30:58,629 --> 01:30:57,040 was this to get back to the very 2446 01:31:00,629 --> 01:30:58,639 beginning was this reincarnation 2447 01:31:01,510 --> 01:31:00,639 experience and quotation marks that i 2448 01:31:03,270 --> 01:31:01,520 had 2449 01:31:06,070 --> 01:31:03,280 was this a 2450 01:31:08,149 --> 01:31:06,080 projection some sort of 2451 01:31:10,229 --> 01:31:08,159 telepathic 2452 01:31:12,070 --> 01:31:10,239 sort of reality that i saw that was 2453 01:31:14,550 --> 01:31:12,080 completely controlled 2454 01:31:16,629 --> 01:31:14,560 by this ufo 2455 01:31:19,110 --> 01:31:16,639 but how do i actually know 2456 01:31:21,990 --> 01:31:19,120 that this was real what i saw maybe it 2457 01:31:24,629 --> 01:31:22,000 was just like seeing a movie a film 2458 01:31:27,669 --> 01:31:24,639 by this ufo of something that it wanted 2459 01:31:28,870 --> 01:31:27,679 me to see but it has no basis whatsoever 2460 01:31:32,629 --> 01:31:28,880 in reality 2461 01:31:35,189 --> 01:31:32,639 like as a historical reality 2462 01:31:37,510 --> 01:31:35,199 i'm totally with you i i i really 2463 01:31:39,350 --> 01:31:37,520 appreciate where you're going with that 2464 01:31:41,830 --> 01:31:39,360 historical reality 2465 01:31:44,149 --> 01:31:41,840 again that that is just 2466 01:31:46,550 --> 01:31:44,159 another looking glass another lens 2467 01:31:48,470 --> 01:31:46,560 through which to look at and i guess i 2468 01:31:51,350 --> 01:31:48,480 always come back to this point 2469 01:31:53,310 --> 01:31:51,360 all the data all the data sets we have 2470 01:31:56,390 --> 01:31:53,320 suggest that we have the most 2471 01:31:58,550 --> 01:31:56,400 disadvantaged viewpoint of all this 2472 01:32:00,709 --> 01:31:58,560 right so it's like if you're going to 2473 01:32:03,669 --> 01:32:00,719 process that back in the here and now 2474 01:32:06,070 --> 01:32:03,679 reality everything we have tells us man 2475 01:32:07,830 --> 01:32:06,080 you're you're kind of at a at a loss 2476 01:32:10,229 --> 01:32:07,840 like people who have transcendent 2477 01:32:11,750 --> 01:32:10,239 experience and say i knew everything i 2478 01:32:14,149 --> 01:32:11,760 knew the answer to all the physics 2479 01:32:15,990 --> 01:32:14,159 questions i could even ask in my head 2480 01:32:17,990 --> 01:32:16,000 they immediately came to me and then i 2481 01:32:19,110 --> 01:32:18,000 came back and i don't have it anymore i 2482 01:32:20,950 --> 01:32:19,120 had you know 2483 01:32:23,430 --> 01:32:20,960 unlimited telepathic and spiritual 2484 01:32:25,189 --> 01:32:23,440 powers and i don't have them anymore so 2485 01:32:27,830 --> 01:32:25,199 i just think 2486 01:32:31,189 --> 01:32:27,840 i just gotta check myself check you when 2487 01:32:33,590 --> 01:32:31,199 we come back and say okay now i'm here 2488 01:32:36,790 --> 01:32:33,600 now in this time space reality and i'm 2489 01:32:39,910 --> 01:32:36,800 contemplating what young wrote in his 2490 01:32:42,470 --> 01:32:39,920 book it's like cool but realize we're 2491 01:32:44,310 --> 01:32:42,480 really at a disadvantage when we do that 2492 01:32:46,149 --> 01:32:44,320 absolutely i agree with you there but 2493 01:32:47,110 --> 01:32:46,159 there are other just looking at it at 2494 01:32:49,590 --> 01:32:47,120 this 2495 01:32:52,310 --> 01:32:49,600 level of recollection right 2496 01:32:54,229 --> 01:32:52,320 that jung is recollecting what he was 2497 01:32:56,390 --> 01:32:54,239 experiencing and i'm recollecting what i 2498 01:32:58,950 --> 01:32:56,400 experienced and i can say as well like 2499 01:33:00,950 --> 01:32:58,960 uh richard dolan that 2500 01:33:03,270 --> 01:33:00,960 he had an excellent um 2501 01:33:05,510 --> 01:33:03,280 video recently on the psychology of 2502 01:33:07,189 --> 01:33:05,520 aliens and we can just let's just call 2503 01:33:10,229 --> 01:33:07,199 him aliens for that right 2504 01:33:11,430 --> 01:33:10,239 i prefer the term ufo being because it's 2505 01:33:13,830 --> 01:33:11,440 more 2506 01:33:15,030 --> 01:33:13,840 open but but he just made the amazing 2507 01:33:17,030 --> 01:33:15,040 point that 2508 01:33:19,430 --> 01:33:17,040 these tall greys 2509 01:33:20,950 --> 01:33:19,440 that they they seem to be really scary 2510 01:33:22,709 --> 01:33:20,960 if you just think about it 2511 01:33:24,629 --> 01:33:22,719 but so often 2512 01:33:26,709 --> 01:33:24,639 these experiences 2513 01:33:29,750 --> 01:33:26,719 are reporting that they are feeling 2514 01:33:32,310 --> 01:33:29,760 these overwhelming feelings of love 2515 01:33:33,350 --> 01:33:32,320 and dolan is just making just putting 2516 01:33:34,870 --> 01:33:33,360 these two 2517 01:33:36,390 --> 01:33:34,880 together and just saying like how is 2518 01:33:38,629 --> 01:33:36,400 this even possible these people are 2519 01:33:40,629 --> 01:33:38,639 experiencing more love 2520 01:33:42,070 --> 01:33:40,639 reportedly anyway than they've ever 2521 01:33:44,629 --> 01:33:42,080 experienced before 2522 01:33:46,550 --> 01:33:44,639 in the presence of these tall great and 2523 01:33:48,390 --> 01:33:46,560 this this just to me just shows that 2524 01:33:50,550 --> 01:33:48,400 these beings seem to be able to 2525 01:33:51,510 --> 01:33:50,560 manipulate our consciousness our 2526 01:33:54,070 --> 01:33:51,520 feelings 2527 01:33:56,070 --> 01:33:54,080 to such an enormous degree for instance 2528 01:33:58,870 --> 01:33:56,080 ray hernandez another example who you've 2529 01:34:00,550 --> 01:33:58,880 interviewed he was going down the stairs 2530 01:34:02,790 --> 01:34:00,560 and just had this 2531 01:34:04,470 --> 01:34:02,800 thought put into his head seemingly just 2532 01:34:06,310 --> 01:34:04,480 this is nonsense the thing is you have 2533 01:34:08,550 --> 01:34:06,320 thrown down with his wife healing the 2534 01:34:10,790 --> 01:34:08,560 dog and he just walks up to the bed 2535 01:34:13,669 --> 01:34:10,800 right and it's just so 2536 01:34:15,430 --> 01:34:13,679 controlling its extreme control that's 2537 01:34:17,110 --> 01:34:15,440 the screen memory by the way you know i 2538 01:34:19,669 --> 01:34:17,120 i was stumbling with the term that's a 2539 01:34:21,510 --> 01:34:19,679 great example of a of a screen memory or 2540 01:34:23,350 --> 01:34:21,520 implanted thought if we take into 2541 01:34:25,750 --> 01:34:23,360 consideration this data 2542 01:34:28,709 --> 01:34:25,760 that these ufo beings are extremely 2543 01:34:31,350 --> 01:34:28,719 telepathic and control people's thoughts 2544 01:34:32,550 --> 01:34:31,360 and feelings and actions to such a huge 2545 01:34:35,510 --> 01:34:32,560 degree 2546 01:34:37,270 --> 01:34:35,520 including overwhelming feelings of love 2547 01:34:38,229 --> 01:34:37,280 that they've never experienced to such a 2548 01:34:39,990 --> 01:34:38,239 degree 2549 01:34:42,709 --> 01:34:40,000 that we have to 2550 01:34:44,629 --> 01:34:42,719 leave it on the table that maybe nds are 2551 01:34:46,950 --> 01:34:44,639 also a manipulation 2552 01:34:48,390 --> 01:34:46,960 that it's not the foundation of reality 2553 01:34:51,030 --> 01:34:48,400 that it could be 2554 01:34:53,510 --> 01:34:51,040 the ufos manipulating our consciousness 2555 01:34:55,109 --> 01:34:53,520 while we're somehow loosened from our 2556 01:34:57,910 --> 01:34:55,119 physical bonds 2557 01:35:00,229 --> 01:34:57,920 totally it's totally a possibility 2558 01:35:03,350 --> 01:35:00,239 it just doesn't add up to me it's like 2559 01:35:05,510 --> 01:35:03,360 the super psy explanation for 2560 01:35:07,590 --> 01:35:05,520 after death communication it doesn't 2561 01:35:09,830 --> 01:35:07,600 really make any sense if you if you 2562 01:35:12,310 --> 01:35:09,840 think it through because it doesn't 2563 01:35:14,229 --> 01:35:12,320 fit the reported phenomenon that you 2564 01:35:16,310 --> 01:35:14,239 hear all the time it's also like when i 2565 01:35:18,229 --> 01:35:16,320 hear about the simulation theory that 2566 01:35:20,390 --> 01:35:18,239 we're living in a simulation you know 2567 01:35:22,870 --> 01:35:20,400 and the same thing i would say here 2568 01:35:26,629 --> 01:35:22,880 we are they are somehow projecting a 2569 01:35:29,109 --> 01:35:26,639 feeling of infinite love and oneness 2570 01:35:31,030 --> 01:35:29,119 simulation simulation of what 2571 01:35:33,270 --> 01:35:31,040 what are they simulating this is again 2572 01:35:35,189 --> 01:35:33,280 this is now outside of time and space 2573 01:35:38,870 --> 01:35:35,199 it's outside of our 2574 01:35:41,189 --> 01:35:38,880 physical emotional you know brain based 2575 01:35:43,350 --> 01:35:41,199 experience chemical kind of thing right 2576 01:35:45,189 --> 01:35:43,360 because near-death experience we no 2577 01:35:46,550 --> 01:35:45,199 longer have a brain we no longer have a 2578 01:35:49,910 --> 01:35:46,560 body 2579 01:35:52,550 --> 01:35:49,920 to process it at a biochemical level so 2580 01:35:54,790 --> 01:35:52,560 if et is doing that what are they 2581 01:35:57,430 --> 01:35:54,800 simulating to me 2582 01:36:00,229 --> 01:35:57,440 i would read it as they're simulating 2583 01:36:01,669 --> 01:36:00,239 something that is real is authentic and 2584 01:36:03,669 --> 01:36:01,679 they're trying to 2585 01:36:05,750 --> 01:36:03,679 co-opt it in some way 2586 01:36:09,350 --> 01:36:05,760 possible or for instance that there's a 2587 01:36:11,510 --> 01:36:09,360 layer of say a field of let's say rupert 2588 01:36:14,310 --> 01:36:11,520 sheldrake's morphe resonance field let's 2589 01:36:15,830 --> 01:36:14,320 just say just to hypothesize this and 2590 01:36:17,189 --> 01:36:15,840 then it's something so subtle that we 2591 01:36:18,229 --> 01:36:17,199 can't measure with our current 2592 01:36:20,709 --> 01:36:18,239 instruments 2593 01:36:23,109 --> 01:36:20,719 but that somehow we are then 2594 01:36:24,790 --> 01:36:23,119 experiencing reality so to speak within 2595 01:36:29,030 --> 01:36:24,800 this 2596 01:36:31,669 --> 01:36:29,040 our consciousness but it's not the 2597 01:36:34,470 --> 01:36:31,679 ultimate foundation of reality and that 2598 01:36:35,590 --> 01:36:34,480 somehow these ufo beings are able to 2599 01:36:36,550 --> 01:36:35,600 manipulate 2600 01:36:39,669 --> 01:36:36,560 this 2601 01:36:40,870 --> 01:36:39,679 more subtle reality 2602 01:36:43,669 --> 01:36:40,880 and give us 2603 01:36:45,270 --> 01:36:43,679 experiences which are so vivid so 2604 01:36:47,510 --> 01:36:45,280 real seeming 2605 01:36:49,669 --> 01:36:47,520 and filled with so much emotion 2606 01:36:51,990 --> 01:36:49,679 and it is still on this 2607 01:36:54,470 --> 01:36:52,000 sort of intermediary level between 2608 01:36:56,070 --> 01:36:54,480 physical normal consciousness and the 2609 01:36:59,350 --> 01:36:56,080 ultimate foundation 2610 01:37:00,149 --> 01:36:59,360 of let's say some idealistic universe of 2611 01:37:02,149 --> 01:37:00,159 of 2612 01:37:04,870 --> 01:37:02,159 consciousness is 2613 01:37:08,070 --> 01:37:04,880 immaterial and completely free of 2614 01:37:10,229 --> 01:37:08,080 material see so again you know a 2615 01:37:11,669 --> 01:37:10,239 possibility and certainly something that 2616 01:37:13,830 --> 01:37:11,679 has to be 2617 01:37:16,550 --> 01:37:13,840 thrown on the table and considered as an 2618 01:37:20,070 --> 01:37:16,560 explanation for some of these cases 2619 01:37:22,390 --> 01:37:20,080 it doesn't to me fit with the overall 2620 01:37:24,550 --> 01:37:22,400 data on the near death experience 2621 01:37:26,790 --> 01:37:24,560 experience because 2622 01:37:28,550 --> 01:37:26,800 one thing i always try and remind people 2623 01:37:30,870 --> 01:37:28,560 of with the near death experience is you 2624 01:37:32,950 --> 01:37:30,880 you almost have to bifurcate it in term 2625 01:37:35,830 --> 01:37:32,960 into two parts one is 2626 01:37:38,070 --> 01:37:35,840 is it evidential of extended 2627 01:37:40,629 --> 01:37:38,080 consciousness and you go 2628 01:37:43,350 --> 01:37:40,639 boom boom boom over and over again okay 2629 01:37:45,830 --> 01:37:43,360 it is so back to this getting past 2630 01:37:49,350 --> 01:37:45,840 scientific materialism were there 2631 01:37:51,350 --> 01:37:49,360 from that then can we make certain 2632 01:37:54,390 --> 01:37:51,360 assumptions can we begin to find 2633 01:37:56,229 --> 01:37:54,400 patterns in the stories in the accounts 2634 01:37:58,070 --> 01:37:56,239 and i think we can again you reference 2635 01:38:00,310 --> 01:37:58,080 jeff long 2636 01:38:01,189 --> 01:38:00,320 statistically you start seeing patterns 2637 01:38:03,510 --> 01:38:01,199 that 2638 01:38:06,709 --> 01:38:03,520 you you can't totally go there but you 2639 01:38:08,310 --> 01:38:06,719 can say hey that that doesn't really 2640 01:38:10,550 --> 01:38:08,320 that seems to be pointing towards 2641 01:38:11,669 --> 01:38:10,560 something you know i i always reference 2642 01:38:13,910 --> 01:38:11,679 the 2643 01:38:15,590 --> 01:38:13,920 netflix excellent special 2644 01:38:17,350 --> 01:38:15,600 surviving death i think is the name of 2645 01:38:19,590 --> 01:38:17,360 it by leslie kane again who did a 2646 01:38:22,310 --> 01:38:19,600 fantastic job but 2647 01:38:25,189 --> 01:38:22,320 the opening scene of that six-part 2648 01:38:26,470 --> 01:38:25,199 series on netflix is this woman who her 2649 01:38:29,270 --> 01:38:26,480 name escapes him right now but she's 2650 01:38:32,070 --> 01:38:29,280 become quite famous she was 2651 01:38:34,709 --> 01:38:32,080 a a doctor and quite an quite an 2652 01:38:36,629 --> 01:38:34,719 accomplished doctor and she was kayaking 2653 01:38:38,310 --> 01:38:36,639 down in central america 2654 01:38:40,390 --> 01:38:38,320 and her kayak turned over and she was 2655 01:38:42,310 --> 01:38:40,400 underwater for 20 minutes and she died 2656 01:38:44,629 --> 01:38:42,320 and she had a near-death experience 2657 01:38:47,910 --> 01:38:44,639 classic near-death experience 2658 01:38:49,750 --> 01:38:47,920 the crux or the the real kind of 2659 01:38:52,229 --> 01:38:49,760 point of her near-death experience is 2660 01:38:54,550 --> 01:38:52,239 she reaches a point where many endy ears 2661 01:38:56,550 --> 01:38:54,560 do where she actually has a choice again 2662 01:38:58,709 --> 01:38:56,560 this speaks to the issue of free will 2663 01:39:00,870 --> 01:38:58,719 philosophically the choice shall she 2664 01:39:04,229 --> 01:39:00,880 return to her life 2665 01:39:05,590 --> 01:39:04,239 as she knew it or shall she stay in this 2666 01:39:08,470 --> 01:39:05,600 other realm 2667 01:39:10,149 --> 01:39:08,480 she chooses to return as she's walking 2668 01:39:11,669 --> 01:39:10,159 out the door and this makes no sense to 2669 01:39:13,750 --> 01:39:11,679 me i don't know how to make sense of it 2670 01:39:15,590 --> 01:39:13,760 but this is her account as she's quote 2671 01:39:19,350 --> 01:39:15,600 unquote walking out the door i'm kidding 2672 01:39:22,470 --> 01:39:19,360 they go oh by the way your son 2673 01:39:25,590 --> 01:39:22,480 sorry but he only has 10 years to live 2674 01:39:27,669 --> 01:39:25,600 so she returns and her husband and her 2675 01:39:30,470 --> 01:39:27,679 are living with this which is 2676 01:39:32,390 --> 01:39:30,480 unimaginable to me you know having kids 2677 01:39:34,310 --> 01:39:32,400 that your son has 10 years to live but 2678 01:39:35,270 --> 01:39:34,320 they're like we don't know you know life 2679 01:39:39,270 --> 01:39:35,280 is 2680 01:39:41,430 --> 01:39:39,280 that 10 years pass 2681 01:39:43,830 --> 01:39:41,440 and they're like 2682 01:39:44,950 --> 01:39:43,840 cautiously celebrating because he hasn't 2683 01:39:46,709 --> 01:39:44,960 died 2684 01:39:48,310 --> 01:39:46,719 within several months he walks out into 2685 01:39:49,350 --> 01:39:48,320 the street and is hit by a boss and is 2686 01:39:50,550 --> 01:39:49,360 killed 2687 01:39:52,470 --> 01:39:50,560 so 2688 01:39:54,709 --> 01:39:52,480 that account to me 2689 01:39:57,350 --> 01:39:54,719 doesn't sound like e.t 2690 01:39:59,189 --> 01:39:57,360 and the hundreds and hundreds of other 2691 01:40:02,070 --> 01:39:59,199 accounts that i've read 2692 01:40:04,870 --> 01:40:02,080 don't sound like e.t they sound like 2693 01:40:06,229 --> 01:40:04,880 more what we'd identify as genuine 2694 01:40:10,790 --> 01:40:06,239 compassion 2695 01:40:13,270 --> 01:40:10,800 genuine love genuine experiences of 2696 01:40:15,629 --> 01:40:13,280 the highest order of 2697 01:40:18,550 --> 01:40:15,639 feelings of this 2698 01:40:20,390 --> 01:40:18,560 spirituality that we all experience at 2699 01:40:22,550 --> 01:40:20,400 our best in 2700 01:40:25,270 --> 01:40:22,560 and most profound times that is 2701 01:40:27,990 --> 01:40:25,280 uplifting and the counter to that i 2702 01:40:31,030 --> 01:40:28,000 think would have to fit inside of some 2703 01:40:33,910 --> 01:40:31,040 other paradigm so if there is another 2704 01:40:36,229 --> 01:40:33,920 paradigm in which that would fit then i 2705 01:40:38,870 --> 01:40:36,239 think you have to offer some kind of 2706 01:40:41,350 --> 01:40:38,880 explanation for how that would work 2707 01:40:43,750 --> 01:40:41,360 and even what would be the goals of such 2708 01:40:45,350 --> 01:40:43,760 such a paradigm and all those whined 2709 01:40:47,590 --> 01:40:45,360 with me 2710 01:40:49,990 --> 01:40:47,600 sounding very materialistic 2711 01:40:51,990 --> 01:40:50,000 sound very much like well the aliens 2712 01:40:54,950 --> 01:40:52,000 need to collect gold to get their 2713 01:40:57,470 --> 01:40:54,960 atmosphere back they sound so not 2714 01:40:59,430 --> 01:40:57,480 spiritual that they are almost a 2715 01:41:02,550 --> 01:40:59,440 non-starting point 2716 01:41:05,350 --> 01:41:02,560 okay i i agree with you on your analysis 2717 01:41:08,229 --> 01:41:05,360 of the data just on the data of the ndes 2718 01:41:09,750 --> 01:41:08,239 right we can establish that with enough 2719 01:41:11,590 --> 01:41:09,760 surety i think 2720 01:41:12,709 --> 01:41:11,600 that that is a genuine pattern that 2721 01:41:14,229 --> 01:41:12,719 there is 2722 01:41:16,390 --> 01:41:14,239 this uh 2723 01:41:18,470 --> 01:41:16,400 love is hugely important and that there 2724 01:41:20,390 --> 01:41:18,480 are hierarchies that there's god 2725 01:41:22,229 --> 01:41:20,400 let me just add i have to i have to add 2726 01:41:25,669 --> 01:41:22,239 one thing because it's an important 2727 01:41:26,950 --> 01:41:25,679 distinction it's not a feeling of love 2728 01:41:29,510 --> 01:41:26,960 right 2729 01:41:31,510 --> 01:41:29,520 because it can't be a feeling of love 2730 01:41:34,709 --> 01:41:31,520 because when we use that language we're 2731 01:41:37,669 --> 01:41:34,719 talking about a biochemical reaction 2732 01:41:39,030 --> 01:41:37,679 inside of this biology that we walk 2733 01:41:41,030 --> 01:41:39,040 around with 2734 01:41:43,189 --> 01:41:41,040 and these people and it's an important 2735 01:41:46,390 --> 01:41:43,199 point from the near-death experience 2736 01:41:49,030 --> 01:41:46,400 we know they are relieved of that 2737 01:41:52,070 --> 01:41:49,040 of of of those requirements they no 2738 01:41:55,510 --> 01:41:52,080 longer have a physiology that could 2739 01:41:57,830 --> 01:41:55,520 process that biochemical reaction so we 2740 01:41:59,590 --> 01:41:57,840 would have to speculate on that whole 2741 01:42:01,669 --> 01:41:59,600 level as well 2742 01:42:02,709 --> 01:42:01,679 yeah that's speculation as well because 2743 01:42:06,149 --> 01:42:02,719 um 2744 01:42:07,030 --> 01:42:06,159 we could call it a sensation or 2745 01:42:28,709 --> 01:42:07,040 a 2746 01:42:29,430 --> 01:42:28,719 i know i know this is the 2747 01:42:44,790 --> 01:42:29,440 the 2748 01:42:47,590 --> 01:42:44,800 certain things for instance love and 2749 01:42:50,310 --> 01:42:47,600 sometimes fear and yeah but nelson i'm 2750 01:42:52,709 --> 01:42:50,320 i'm saying it more from a kind of 2751 01:42:54,790 --> 01:42:52,719 nuts and pulse materialistic standpoint 2752 01:42:57,669 --> 01:42:54,800 if you're going to drag along the whole 2753 01:42:59,990 --> 01:42:57,679 biochemical reaction inside the body and 2754 01:43:02,709 --> 01:43:00,000 the inside the brain which people want 2755 01:43:04,790 --> 01:43:02,719 to do that is gone so whatever you're 2756 01:43:05,669 --> 01:43:04,800 going to speculate about 2757 01:43:07,830 --> 01:43:05,679 you ca 2758 01:43:10,390 --> 01:43:07,840 whoever it is you're saying can spill 2759 01:43:12,950 --> 01:43:10,400 still experience the feelings you're 2760 01:43:16,149 --> 01:43:12,960 going to have to leave behind all the 2761 01:43:19,030 --> 01:43:16,159 neurology all the physiology all the 2762 01:43:21,830 --> 01:43:19,040 biochemistry associated with what we 2763 01:43:23,510 --> 01:43:21,840 commonly talk about as experiencing 2764 01:43:25,990 --> 01:43:23,520 feelings you know and you know what i'm 2765 01:43:29,189 --> 01:43:26,000 saying yeah so we just have to be open i 2766 01:43:31,189 --> 01:43:29,199 think to the possibility that 2767 01:43:33,910 --> 01:43:31,199 when you're in these altered 2768 01:43:35,910 --> 01:43:33,920 states of not being corporeal that 2769 01:43:38,149 --> 01:43:35,920 you're you can still 2770 01:43:40,470 --> 01:43:38,159 sense certain things certain longings as 2771 01:43:41,510 --> 01:43:40,480 well for instance see loved ones again 2772 01:43:43,030 --> 01:43:41,520 and i just think it would be 2773 01:43:44,149 --> 01:43:43,040 closed-minded just 2774 01:43:45,350 --> 01:43:44,159 to 2775 01:43:48,550 --> 01:43:45,360 assume 2776 01:43:52,870 --> 01:43:48,560 that certain sensations are only 2777 01:43:54,149 --> 01:43:52,880 physical such as love or fear or longing 2778 01:43:56,310 --> 01:43:54,159 because 2779 01:43:59,510 --> 01:43:56,320 it doesn't seem to fit with the data 2780 01:44:01,990 --> 01:43:59,520 well but my point is once you get there 2781 01:44:04,310 --> 01:44:02,000 then kind of all bets are off because 2782 01:44:07,669 --> 01:44:04,320 now you're talking about your 2783 01:44:09,510 --> 01:44:07,679 uh shape-shifting reptilian and you you 2784 01:44:11,270 --> 01:44:09,520 you just have no 2785 01:44:13,830 --> 01:44:11,280 you're 2786 01:44:16,950 --> 01:44:13,840 you have no way of really talking about 2787 01:44:20,149 --> 01:44:16,960 what a shape-shifting reptilian is 2788 01:44:21,350 --> 01:44:20,159 when we talk about you experiencing what 2789 01:44:24,229 --> 01:44:21,360 you're 2790 01:44:26,470 --> 01:44:24,239 you experiencing what your brain is 2791 01:44:28,310 --> 01:44:26,480 setting off in your head 2792 01:44:30,550 --> 01:44:28,320 that's one thing and if we talk about 2793 01:44:32,790 --> 01:44:30,560 that shape-shifting reptilian 2794 01:44:35,030 --> 01:44:32,800 coming in and raping a loved one of 2795 01:44:37,109 --> 01:44:35,040 yours we can talk about that but as soon 2796 01:44:39,830 --> 01:44:37,119 as we shift to that other realm 2797 01:44:41,830 --> 01:44:39,840 again kind of all bets are off we don't 2798 01:44:43,189 --> 01:44:41,840 we don't even know what your experience 2799 01:44:45,350 --> 01:44:43,199 is anymore 2800 01:44:47,510 --> 01:44:45,360 we can't directly establish causation 2801 01:44:49,270 --> 01:44:47,520 right we can't really 2802 01:44:51,510 --> 01:44:49,280 establish that but i would just go back 2803 01:44:54,629 --> 01:44:51,520 to this looking at patterns again 2804 01:44:56,870 --> 01:44:54,639 and this is going to come into the 2805 01:44:58,790 --> 01:44:56,880 scio angle of things 2806 01:45:00,310 --> 01:44:58,800 and that 2807 01:45:03,669 --> 01:45:00,320 if you look at what richard dolan was 2808 01:45:05,750 --> 01:45:03,679 this guiding of the tall greys and the 2809 01:45:07,990 --> 01:45:05,760 reported experiences of these people of 2810 01:45:10,629 --> 01:45:08,000 overwhelming love and you compare this 2811 01:45:13,350 --> 01:45:10,639 to the near death experience reports of 2812 01:45:15,270 --> 01:45:13,360 this overwhelming love and then you look 2813 01:45:16,870 --> 01:45:15,280 at for instance the new testament and 2814 01:45:18,870 --> 01:45:16,880 it's all about love 2815 01:45:20,310 --> 01:45:18,880 love is all that matters and 2816 01:45:22,629 --> 01:45:20,320 yeah it is very 2817 01:45:25,350 --> 01:45:22,639 much just on this jesus character that 2818 01:45:28,070 --> 01:45:25,360 we also look at the um counter culture 2819 01:45:30,870 --> 01:45:28,080 in the 60s 1960s with the beatles all 2820 01:45:32,550 --> 01:45:30,880 you need is love and i 2821 01:45:34,709 --> 01:45:32,560 just started to get a little bit 2822 01:45:37,430 --> 01:45:34,719 suspicious of this why is it always just 2823 01:45:39,510 --> 01:45:37,440 love why is it all only about that and 2824 01:45:40,870 --> 01:45:39,520 not about for instance 2825 01:45:42,950 --> 01:45:40,880 material 2826 01:45:44,390 --> 01:45:42,960 accomplishments in this world why is it 2827 01:45:46,390 --> 01:45:44,400 always just love 2828 01:45:48,790 --> 01:45:46,400 and i just started to get suspicious 2829 01:45:50,709 --> 01:45:48,800 that this was some sort of scion and i'm 2830 01:45:53,030 --> 01:45:50,719 not saying it is i'm just throwing it 2831 01:45:55,189 --> 01:45:53,040 out there as a devil's advocate right 2832 01:45:56,950 --> 01:45:55,199 right it so the only thing and this is 2833 01:45:58,550 --> 01:45:56,960 going to hopefully get us into this kind 2834 01:46:00,229 --> 01:45:58,560 of last topic that we're going to talk 2835 01:46:01,910 --> 01:46:00,239 about because i want to talk about the 2836 01:46:04,470 --> 01:46:01,920

01:47:09,669 what do you make of nelson's suspicion 2865 01:47:14,149 --> 01:47:10,800 about 2866 01:47:15,910 --> 01:47:14,159 love in the extended consciousness realm 2867 01:47:17,870 --> 01:47:15,920 i love the 2868 01:47:20,950 --> 01:47:17,880 the pullback the paranoia the 2869 01:47:24,629 --> 01:47:20,960 conspiratorial mindset it's so 2870 01:47:26,390 --> 01:47:24,639 importantly refreshing from a 2871 01:47:30,709 --> 01:47:26,400 from an academic 2872 01:47:33,350 --> 01:47:30,719 real philos 2873 01:47:35,750 --> 01:47:33,360 from a from a really deep thinker
