approach it and uh that is 17 00:01:12,469 --> 00:01:09,240 definitely something we are going to 18 00:01:14,630 --> 00:01:12,479 touch on today with our guest and we're 19 00:01:16,910 -->

00:01:24,410 --> 00:01:22,380 few years back and um 23 00:01:26,510 --> 00:01:24,420 whether it's an evolution or a 24 00:01:30,530 --> 00:01:26,520 Devolution we will leave that up to our 25

know talking about the experiencers and 31 00:01:47,090 --> 00:01:42,900 uh the different thoughts and theories 32 00:01:49,069 --> 00:01:47,100 and opinions on what UFOs could be and 33 00:01:53,149 --> 00:01:49,079 um kind of moving a little away from a 34 00:01:56,090 --> 00:01:53,159 lot of the the current government sqfo 35 00:01:58,789 --> 00:01:56,100 talk but I want to return to having fun 36 00:02:01,069 --> 00:01:58,799 conversations here at somewhere in the 37 00:02:03,830 --> 00:02:01,079 sky so without further Ado let's bring 38 00:02:07,190 --> 00:02:03,840 him in for the very

Paul 48 00:02:37,070 --> 00:02:34,319 Kimball so I've got a lot of making up 49 00:02:40,309 --> 00:02:37,080 to do with the UFO Community the people 50 00:02:43,790 --> 00:02:40,319 who really got me invigorated and 51 00:02:46,070 --> 00:02:43,800 inspired um so I think I'm starting with 52 00:02:49,070 --> 00:02:46,080 you my man you're bringing me back into 53 00:02:51,770 --> 00:02:49,080 the reason I got into ufology and and 54 00:02:55,670 --> 00:02:51,780 that's to have interesting conversations 55 00:02:57,729 --> 00:02:55,680 about all of it what it all could mean 56 00:03:00,890 --> 00:02:57,739 um some of the more profound questions 57 00:03:02,390 --> 00:03:00,900 that come with this topic 58 00:03:04,250 --> 00:03:02,400 um like I said and kind of move away 59 00:03:07,670 --> 00:03:04,260 from this 60 00:03:09,949 --> 00:03:07,680 stuffy kind of government chatter that's 61 00:03:11,449 --> 00:03:09,959 been going on for the past few years 62 00:03:13,850 --> 00:03:11,459 um so that's kind of where I want to 63 00:03:17,809 --> 00:03:13,860 start with you if you don't mind 64 00:03:20,630 --> 00:03:17,819 um what do you make of and this is kind 65 00:03:24,350 --> 00:03:20,640 of a a big place to start but what do 66 00:03:28,130 --> 00:03:24,360 you make of ufology today in 2023 you 67 00:03:29,990 --> 00:03:28,140 know just before 2017 is when our book 68 00:03:33,110 --> 00:03:30,000 came out and when we really tried to 69 00:03:35,990 --> 00:03:33,120 shake things up it was stuffy and 70 00:03:37,850 --> 00:03:36,000 nothing had changed for a long time 71 00:03:40,070 --> 00:03:37,860 um and then boom this New York Times 72 00:03:43,430 --> 00:03:40,080 article comes out and it seems that 73 00:03:47,089 --> 00:03:43,440 everything changed so where do you stand 74 00:03:48,770 --> 00:03:47,099 today in 2023 when it comes to uh the 75 00:03:53,930 --> 00:03:48,780 evolution or like I mentioned earlier 76 00:03:58,309 --> 00:03:53,940 the de-evolution of ufology I guess 77 00:04:03,589 --> 00:03:58,319 it's a great question uh I will think 78 00:04:05,330 --> 00:04:03,599 I'll have to uh disagree a little bit uh 79 00:04:09,110 --> 00:04:05,340 with your stance that 80 00:04:12,470 --> 00:04:09,120 nothing was changing in ufology by the 81 00:04:15,589 --> 00:04:12,480 time that uh that book reframing The 82 00:04:19,689 --> 00:04:15,599 Debate was published because I 83 00:04:22,310 --> 00:04:19,699 personally feel that by that time 84 00:04:25,909 --> 00:04:22,320 uh certain 85 00:04:28,730 --> 00:04:25,919 people within the field of ufology were 86 00:04:33,590 --> 00:04:28,740 starting to be more open and starting to 87 00:04:37,249 --> 00:04:33,600 entertain uh the idea that uh 88 00:04:39,070 --> 00:04:37,259 it was important to pay attention to the 89 00:04:42,830 --> 00:04:39,080 witnesses 90 00:04:46,730 --> 00:04:42,840 to their inner State of Mind to the 91 00:04:49,129 --> 00:04:46,740 transformational aspects that their 92 00:04:53,210 --> 00:04:49,139 experience had on them on a long-term 93 00:04:55,550 --> 00:04:53,220 basis like uh the their encounter 94 00:04:58,510 --> 00:04:55,560 changed their perspective about God 95 00:05:02,230 --> 00:04:58,520 either did it change their spirituality 96 00:05:04,850 --> 00:05:02,240 did it had any effect on their 97 00:05:08,090 --> 00:05:04,860 relationships on their under 98 00:05:10,909 --> 00:05:08,100 job situation their careers things like 99 00:05:14,629 --> 00:05:10,919 that things that uh you know groups like 100 00:05:17,689 --> 00:05:14,639 move on who were like more interested 101 00:05:19,730 --> 00:05:17,699 only on the details the technical 102 00:05:22,310 --> 00:05:19,740 details of their observations just the 103 00:05:25,850 --> 00:05:22,320 facts man you know what how big was the 104 00:05:29,450 --> 00:05:25,860 object what shape it was you know uh did 105 00:05:33,050 --> 00:05:29,460 it have lights or not the where where 106 00:05:35,990 --> 00:05:33,060 any kind of like marks on the ground so 107 00:05:37,790 --> 00:05:36,000 I think that by then ufology was 108 00:05:41,050 --> 00:05:37,800 starting to pay more attention to the 109 00:05:44,810 --> 00:05:41,060 witnesses and also open to the idea that 110 00:05:47,930 --> 00:05:44,820 Consciousness has something to do a very 111 00:05:51,050 --> 00:05:47,940 a very important thing to do with the 112 00:05:55,430 --> 00:05:51,060 phenomenon itself in ways that we are 113 00:05:57,590 --> 00:05:55,440 still not equipped to answer because 114 00:06:00,909 --> 00:05:57,600 if you ask people what is consciousness 115 00:06:03,050 --> 00:06:00,919 they will give you a thousand different 116 00:06:04,730 --> 00:06:03,060 explanations the way it's the same way 117 00:06:06,290 --> 00:06:04,740 that maybe they'll give you a thousand 118 00:06:08,090 --> 00:06:06,300 different explanations of what the soul 119 00:06:11,990 --> 00:06:08,100 is or something like that 120 00:06:14,330 --> 00:06:12,000 but uh this is something that 121 00:06:16,070 --> 00:06:14,340 I think some people in the field were 122 00:06:17,510 --> 00:06:16,080 starting to say you know 123 00:06:21,170 --> 00:06:17,520 UFOs 124 00:06:23,689 --> 00:06:21,180 seems to be seem to be connected to the 125 00:06:26,689 --> 00:06:23,699 Witnesses in some capacity you know the 126 00:06:29,689 --> 00:06:26,699 co-creation aspect that our friend Greg 127 00:06:31,330 --> 00:06:29,699 Bishop has written about and I think 128 00:06:36,230 --> 00:06:31,340 that then 129 00:06:38,749 --> 00:06:36,240 within New York Times article in 2017 uh 130 00:06:41,150 --> 00:06:38,759 we were back to square one back to the 131 00:06:43,430 --> 00:06:41,160 idea of the 1950s 132 00:06:46,370 --> 00:06:43,440 and even people in in Eufaula were 133 00:06:49,490 --> 00:06:46,380 trying to like erase a whole chunk of 134 00:06:51,370 --> 00:06:49,500 History like saying well 135 00:06:53,510 --> 00:06:51,380 let's forget about 136 00:06:56,090 --> 00:06:53,520 encounters with you for nuts let's 137 00:06:58,010 --> 00:06:56,100 forget about you know abduction let's 138 00:07:00,409 --> 00:06:58,020 forget about Close Encounters of the 139 00:07:02,529 --> 00:07:00,419 Third Kind Fourth Kind whatever yeah 140 00:07:06,230 --> 00:07:02,539 let's just stick to 141 00:07:09,590 --> 00:07:06,240 uh tracking soon radar the testimony of 142 00:07:13,790 --> 00:07:09,600 of pilots who for 143 00:07:16,550 --> 00:07:13,800 some reason or other seem to be or or 144 00:07:19,430 --> 00:07:16,560 seem to be more reliable 145 00:07:22,070 --> 00:07:19,440 in in some circles the testimony of 146 00:07:24,050 --> 00:07:22,080 pilots and that testimony of I don't 147 00:07:26,749 --> 00:07:24,060 know Farmers or the testimony of school 148 00:07:28,550 --> 00:07:26,759 teachers let's stick to the testimony of 149 00:07:31,010 --> 00:07:28,560 the pilots let's stick to the to the 150 00:07:32,749 --> 00:07:31,020 military observations and 151 00:07:34,730 --> 00:07:32,759 what are UFOs where do they come from 152 00:07:37,510 --> 00:07:34,740 well who knows but it's uh let's 153 00:07:41,029 --> 00:07:37,520 remember that it's a military threat 154 00:07:43,330 --> 00:07:41,039 uh and and by the way we can no longer 155 00:07:46,730 --> 00:07:43,340 call them UFOs we have to use the 156 00:07:49,610 --> 00:07:46,740 appropriate acronym you know the Now 157 00:07:52,070 --> 00:07:49,620 official acronym is UAP which keeps 158 00:07:54,950 --> 00:07:52,080 changing very well because before it was 159 00:07:57,409 --> 00:07:54,960 unidentified aerial phenomena and now 160 00:07:59,390 --> 00:07:57,419 it's unidentified anomalous phenomena 161 00:08:02,230 --> 00:07:59,400 which is interesting so if I see a 162 00:08:05,930 --> 00:08:02,240 Bigfoot in the forest is that a Europe 163 00:08:14,990 --> 00:08:05,940 are you going to go and shoot it down 164 00:08:20,450 --> 00:08:18,650 uh I'm making fun of this because uh 165 00:08:22,249 --> 00:08:20,460 first of all guys if you don't have a 166 00:08:24,589 --> 00:08:22,259 healthy sense of humor when you're 167 00:08:27,110 --> 00:08:24,599 dealing with the UFO phenomena you have 168 00:08:28,909 --> 00:08:27,120 you're going to have a miserable time 169 00:08:32,750 --> 00:08:28,919 you know it's something that is 170 00:08:33,769 --> 00:08:32,760 Paramount take these in a light-hearted 171 00:08:37,310 --> 00:08:33,779 matter 172 00:08:39,769 --> 00:08:37,320 uh we all also with that with a you know 173 00:08:42,050 --> 00:08:39,779 a grain of salt but but don't take 174 00:08:44,750 --> 00:08:42,060 yourself and your beliefs about the UFO 175 00:08:46,490 --> 00:08:44,760 so seriously it's my you know humble 176 00:08:48,889 --> 00:08:46,500 recommendation 177 00:08:52,009 --> 00:08:48,899 absolutely man and I think that's kind 178 00:08:54,650 --> 00:08:52,019 of what's missing in today's ethology or 179 00:08:58,130 --> 00:08:54,660 the discourse let's say on quote unquote 180 00:09:01,790 --> 00:08:58,140 UFO Twitter it's um it's not fun 181 00:09:04,610 --> 00:09:01,800 everyone takes it so seriously and um 182 00:09:07,610 --> 00:09:04,620 and argue it's not even a debate anymore 183 00:09:10,250 --> 00:09:07,620 it's just arguing and look that goes for 184 00:09:12,769 --> 00:09:10,260 any Community any 185 00:09:15,410 --> 00:09:12,779 um you know field of study like this 186 00:09:17,870 --> 00:09:15,420 happens everywhere but I think what 187 00:09:19,370 --> 00:09:17,880 we're seeing now is like I said 188 00:09:21,889 --> 00:09:19,380 everyone's taking it so seriously 189 00:09:25,490 --> 00:09:21,899 because of that national security threat 190 00:09:27,829 --> 00:09:25,500 angle so it's like you know we can't 191 00:09:30,829 --> 00:09:27,839 laugh about this because it's dangerous 192 00:09:32,509 --> 00:09:30,839 it's it's it's gonna harm us uh when in 193 00:09:35,329 --> 00:09:32,519 reality like you look at the history of 194 00:09:37,970 --> 00:09:35,339 UFOs and how many UFOs have actually 195 00:09:41,269 --> 00:09:37,980 harmed individuals at least physically 196 00:09:44,389 --> 00:09:41,279 maybe psychologically you know and 197 00:09:48,310 --> 00:09:44,399 whatnot but yeah I think we um 198 00:09:52,550 --> 00:09:48,320 we're missing that absurd trickster's 199 00:09:54,410 --> 00:09:52,560 trickster-ish fun nature to it all and 200 00:09:56,030 --> 00:09:54,420 um yeah yeah I think that's kind of 201 00:09:58,070 --> 00:09:56,040 what's missing so 202 00:10:01,370 --> 00:09:58,080 um thank you I'm glad we could touch on 203 00:10:03,350 --> 00:10:01,380 kind of the current state of ufology and 204 00:10:06,350 --> 00:10:03,360 I do want to Circle back to that because 205 00:10:08,930 --> 00:10:06,360 I think your essay actually 206 00:10:12,050 --> 00:10:08,940 um has a lot to do with that in terms of 207 00:10:15,410 --> 00:10:12,060 the structure of what we see today and 208 00:10:18,590 --> 00:10:15,420 how we need to break that uh but let's 209 00:10:20,870 --> 00:10:18,600 rewind a little bit for uh for any of my 210 00:10:23,570 --> 00:10:20,880 viewers and listeners who may not be 211 00:10:25,790 --> 00:10:23,580 familiar with you uh would you mind 212 00:10:28,430 --> 00:10:25,800 telling us the origin story red pill 213 00:10:30,410 --> 00:10:28,440 junk like how did you first of all 214 00:10:32,509 --> 00:10:30,420 where'd the name come from and second of 215 00:10:35,509 --> 00:10:32,519 all how did you first get interested in 216 00:10:41,930 --> 00:10:39,110 uh the the the comic book origin story 217 00:10:43,310 --> 00:10:41,940 okay uh well there's two different 218 00:10:46,009 --> 00:10:43,320 questions 219 00:10:47,930 --> 00:10:46,019 uh obviously I became interested in UFOs 220 00:10:53,509 --> 00:10:47,940 way before 221 00:10:55,430 --> 00:10:53,519 chose the silly moniker which by the way 222 00:10:58,069 --> 00:10:55,440 uh 223 00:11:00,350 --> 00:10:58,079 had a totally different 224 00:11:02,930 --> 00:11:00,360 meaning 225 00:11:06,769 --> 00:11:02,940 when I decided to choose it uh you know 226 00:11:09,829 --> 00:11:06,779 uh when I went to college I I read a lot 227 00:11:12,410 --> 00:11:09,839 of Carlos Castaneda uh the teachings of 228 00:11:14,990 --> 00:11:12,420 Don Juan journey to Islam books I highly 229 00:11:17,810 --> 00:11:15,000 recommend despite the fact that there's 230 00:11:20,329 --> 00:11:17,820 a lot of controversy with with Carlos 231 00:11:22,250 --> 00:11:20,339 which we don't get into that this is not 232 00:11:25,130 --> 00:11:22,260 the time of the place to go into into 233 00:11:28,130 --> 00:11:25,140 that discussion but when then when I saw 234 00:11:30,290 --> 00:11:28,140 the first Matrix movie it was you know 235 00:11:34,250 --> 00:11:30,300 like uh 236 00:11:39,170 --> 00:11:34,260 a real like punch in the face so it was 237 00:11:40,810 --> 00:11:39,180 so impactful uh like I got it like I saw 238 00:11:43,069 --> 00:11:40,820 the like 239 00:11:47,710 --> 00:11:43,079 Morpheus the characters that is the 240 00:11:50,930 --> 00:11:47,720 mentor to Neo was like uh Don Juan this 241 00:11:54,050 --> 00:11:50,940 Jackie Shaman that supposedly was the 242 00:11:58,310 --> 00:11:54,060 the teacher of Carlos who became like a 243 00:12:01,009 --> 00:11:58,320 sorceress Apprentice in the 1960s and 244 00:12:04,130 --> 00:12:01,019 that I also the idea by the end of the 245 00:12:06,050 --> 00:12:04,140 movie a spoiler alert when Neo finally 246 00:12:08,930 --> 00:12:06,060 sees the Matrix for where it really is 247 00:12:11,509 --> 00:12:08,940 it's something that also is shown not 248 00:12:12,949 --> 00:12:11,519 only in castaneda's books but in you 249 00:12:16,069 --> 00:12:12,959 know pretty much all the mystical books 250 00:12:18,710 --> 00:12:16,079 about people when they kind of like lift 251 00:12:20,389 --> 00:12:18,720 the veil of reality and they they see 252 00:12:23,210 --> 00:12:20,399 the universe for what really is which is 253 00:12:26,449 --> 00:12:23,220 nothing but you know energy feels 254 00:12:30,230 --> 00:12:26,459 vibrating at different you know uh 255 00:12:33,350 --> 00:12:30,240 densities and being human beings being 256 00:12:35,930 --> 00:12:33,360 us as as glowing eggs you know like like 257 00:12:37,190 --> 00:12:35,940 a cluster of of that energy that is 258 00:12:40,790 --> 00:12:37,200 sentient 259 00:12:43,129 --> 00:12:40,800 so that is the reason what I chose the 260 00:12:44,290 --> 00:12:43,139 nickname red pill junkie which was kind 261 00:12:47,210 --> 00:12:44,300 of like oh 262 00:12:48,829 --> 00:12:47,220 self-deprecating you know also and also 263 00:12:51,650 --> 00:12:48,839 a reminder of not taking myself 264 00:12:55,790 --> 00:12:51,660 seriously but also to remind me how you 265 00:12:58,009 --> 00:12:55,800 know uh on like in the movie when you 266 00:13:00,470 --> 00:12:58,019 only have to take the red pill once and 267 00:13:02,509 --> 00:13:00,480 you are instantly transformed when you 268 00:13:05,449 --> 00:13:02,519 look into the UFO phenomenon it's like 269 00:13:09,290 --> 00:13:05,459 you know you're constantly searching for 270 00:13:12,350 --> 00:13:09,300 those red pills that are going to change 271 00:13:13,850 --> 00:13:12,360 your perspective and again to briefly 272 00:13:17,690 --> 00:13:13,860 open your eyes 273 00:13:20,449 --> 00:13:17,700 uh into the nature of reality The Matrix 274 00:13:23,750 --> 00:13:20,459 is one of the movies that I choose to 275 00:13:26,150 --> 00:13:23,760 call Gnostic like I think the gnosticism 276 00:13:29,269 --> 00:13:26,160 is very is very important in my life the 277 00:13:32,030 --> 00:13:29,279 idea that the world is not what we think 278 00:13:34,129 --> 00:13:32,040 it is well in the movie it is a prison 279 00:13:36,769 --> 00:13:34,139 and to the gnostics it was also kind of 280 00:13:40,190 --> 00:13:36,779 like uh some kind of like a a prison for 281 00:13:42,829 --> 00:13:40,200 the soul but even if you don't take that 282 00:13:45,370 --> 00:13:42,839 negative connotation that we can I think 283 00:13:48,769 --> 00:13:45,380 we can all agree that 284 00:13:54,769 --> 00:13:48,779 reality is something much larger than we 285 00:13:58,030 --> 00:13:54,779 what our feeble senses can can detect I 286 00:14:00,110 --> 00:13:58,040 mean our senses were created over 287 00:14:03,350 --> 00:14:00,120 millions or billions of years of 288 00:14:07,370 --> 00:14:03,360 evolution and only to to Keep Us Alive 289 00:14:12,230 --> 00:14:07,380 you know only to like detect threats uh 290 00:14:15,470 --> 00:14:12,240 able to uh chase down uh food to to be 291 00:14:17,810 --> 00:14:15,480 able to survive natural catastrophes 292 00:14:19,670 --> 00:14:17,820 whatever but they're not really equipped 293 00:14:22,430 --> 00:14:19,680 to actually show us 294 00:14:25,910 --> 00:14:22,440 what the world really is like and and 295 00:14:28,970 --> 00:14:25,920 sometimes you can do that uh either 296 00:14:32,090 --> 00:14:28,980 through meditation practices or also 297 00:14:35,269 --> 00:14:32,100 through you know like in this uh t-shirt 298 00:14:37,910 --> 00:14:35,279 that I chose to wear today the use of in 299 00:14:41,509 --> 00:14:37,920 theogens like this one for example is 300 00:14:46,009 --> 00:14:41,519 inspired this is the which all art which 301 00:14:49,910 --> 00:14:46,019 always is a is a native Native group in 302 00:14:53,210 --> 00:14:49,920 Mexico that use peyote or hikuri as they 303 00:14:56,750 --> 00:14:53,220 call it in order like to break the doors 304 00:15:00,350 --> 00:14:56,760 of perception like William Blake said so 305 00:15:03,590 --> 00:15:00,360 that is what the the red Bill junkie was 306 00:15:06,590 --> 00:15:03,600 at the time that the nickname that I 307 00:15:10,210 --> 00:15:06,600 chose way before those [\h__\h] you know 308 00:15:14,170 --> 00:15:10,220 the right Wingers and now the the male 309 00:15:18,110 --> 00:15:14,180 rights proponents and started to distort 310 00:15:21,290 --> 00:15:18,120 uh the term and now when someone says oh 311 00:15:23,210 --> 00:15:21,300 that guy got Redfield I always cringe 312 00:15:25,610 --> 00:15:23,220 and die a little bit inside because 313 00:15:28,009 --> 00:15:25,620 that's not that's not what I meant and 314 00:15:30,590 --> 00:15:28,019 it's definitely not what uh the 315 00:15:34,689 --> 00:15:30,600 Wachowski sisters you know the original 316 00:15:37,730 --> 00:15:34,699 creators of of the Matrix which are 317 00:15:39,170 --> 00:15:37,740 trans women there's definitely not what 318 00:15:40,730 --> 00:15:39,180 they meant when they created a Time 319 00:15:43,670 --> 00:15:40,740 breath build you know so I'm you I'm 320 00:15:46,850 --> 00:15:43,680 going with the OG term red pill is 321 00:15:49,370 --> 00:15:46,860 something that is not meant to like uh 322 00:15:52,069 --> 00:15:49,380 fight of the right-wing 323 00:15:53,810 --> 00:15:52,079 rights is about changing your 324 00:15:55,970 --> 00:15:53,820 perspective of reality 325 00:15:58,790 --> 00:15:55,980 now going with your second question you 326 00:16:00,290 --> 00:15:58,800 know how I got interested in in in all 327 00:16:03,769 --> 00:16:00,300 this stuff 328 00:16:06,889 --> 00:16:03,779 I was born in 1973 and yes I take pride 329 00:16:08,750 --> 00:16:06,899 in in the fact that I was born in the 330 00:16:10,790 --> 00:16:08,760 year of the humanoids 331 00:16:13,730 --> 00:16:10,800 you know this is something that we will 332 00:16:15,889 --> 00:16:13,740 learn when we get into the uh the 333 00:16:18,470 --> 00:16:15,899 youthful history a lot of really 334 00:16:20,449 --> 00:16:18,480 interesting uh Close Encounters 335 00:16:23,569 --> 00:16:20,459 happening that

of the reasons why it's one of my 339 00:16:33,889 --> 00:16:30,420 favorite cases uh 340 00:16:37,970 --> 00:16:33,899 so have you been born in the in the 341 00:16:41,930 --> 00:16:37,980 early 1970s and uh you know growing up 342 00:16:45,590 --> 00:16:41,940 in the 1980s I was exposed to Steven 343 00:16:48,230 --> 00:16:45,600 Spielberg movies uh Close Encounters of 344 00:16:51,530 --> 00:16:48,240 the Third Kind E.T the Extraterrestrial 345 00:16:54,790 --> 00:16:51,540 of course you know uh there were a lot 346 00:16:59,990 --> 00:16:54,800 of really good and really uh influential

1980s uh here in Mexico we have we have 356 00:17:32,030 --> 00:17:28,980 uh 357 00:17:34,789 --> 00:17:32,040 like the Mexican version of the of the 358 00:17:37,190 --> 00:17:34,799 TV show 60 Minutes they had something 359 00:17:40,250 --> 00:17:37,200 like that here and there was a young 360 00:17:42,230 --> 00:17:40,260 reporter who was one of the contributors 361 00:17:46,130 --> 00:17:42,240 or the investigators in the in that 362 00:17:47,990 --> 00:17:46,140 program by the name of Jaime mausan I 363 00:17:52,210 --> 00:17:48,000 don't know if you the name rings a bell 364 00:17:56,870 --> 00:17:52,220 with you I'm joking here uh but mausan 365 00:17:59,090 --> 00:17:56,880 in that show he made a reportage about 366 00:18:02,390 --> 00:17:59,100 uh Edward William Meyer 367 00:18:06,950 --> 00:18:02,400 you know the Swiss contacty who in the 368 00:18:10,610 --> 00:18:06,960 1970s and the 1980s really made a splash 369 00:18:14,390 --> 00:18:10,620 with these uh pictures of what they look 370 00:18:18,950 --> 00:18:14,400 like you know silver saucers with a very 371 00:18:21,529 --> 00:18:18,960 bucolic uh pastoral landscape of this of 372 00:18:23,470 --> 00:18:21,539 the of the Swiss Alps you know so the 373 00:18:27,289 --> 00:18:23,480 Green Mountains and you have that 374 00:18:30,110 --> 00:18:27,299 contrast of the cleaning 375 00:18:32,330 --> 00:18:30,120 The Impossible looking saucer really had 376 00:18:36,230 --> 00:18:32,340 an impact in in my own impressionable 377 00:18:40,549 --> 00:18:36,240 mind obviously you know with age I came 378 00:18:42,529 --> 00:18:40,559 to understand that those uh photos are 379 00:18:45,950 --> 00:18:42,539 very questionable 380 00:18:50,090 --> 00:18:45,960 we don't get into the details of why or 381 00:18:53,350 --> 00:18:50,100 if if Meyer is is only a Hoster or maybe 382 00:18:55,850 --> 00:18:53,360 he actually had a few genuine 383 00:18:57,830 --> 00:18:55,860 experiences and then he was kind of like 384 00:18:59,990 --> 00:18:57,840 trying to keep it going keep the role 385 00:19:03,110 --> 00:19:00,000 going with the hoaxes which is something 386 00:19:05,150 --> 00:19:03,120 that is very common but like like I said 387 00:19:07,549 --> 00:19:05,160 it's another story but that's one of the 388 00:19:10,669 --> 00:19:07,559 things that have really got me you know 389 00:19:12,770 --> 00:19:10,679 really hooked on an early age and that 390 00:19:14,029 --> 00:19:12,780 that fascination with the phenomenon 391 00:19:19,909 --> 00:19:14,039 persisted 392 00:19:22,850 --> 00:19:19,919 all the way to the 1990s in 1999 1991 we 393 00:19:26,870 --> 00:19:22,860 have a total solar eclipse here in 394 00:19:29,029 --> 00:19:26,880 Mexico July 11 I want to say we had 395 00:19:31,310 --> 00:19:29,039 around six minutes we had a total solar 396 00:19:34,610 --> 00:19:31,320 eclipse that that was visible in Mexico 397 00:19:36,169 --> 00:19:34,620 City and other parts of of uh Central 398 00:19:37,370 --> 00:19:36,179 Mexico 399 00:19:39,529 --> 00:19:37,380 and 400 00:19:43,130 --> 00:19:39,539 as you know 401 00:19:47,090 --> 00:19:43,140 some people observed something during 402 00:19:49,370 --> 00:19:47,100 during that Eclipse that was even filmed 403 00:19:51,590 --> 00:19:49,380 on videotape 404 00:19:55,150 --> 00:19:51,600 something that actually looks like uh 405 00:19:58,370 --> 00:19:55,160 like uh screaming uh object that was 406 00:20:01,310 --> 00:19:58,380 hovering over Mexico City and that was 407 00:20:03,590 --> 00:20:01,320 you know something that became instant 408 00:20:06,470 --> 00:20:03,600 news and I think that it also became 409 00:20:10,310 --> 00:20:06,480 news worldwide and because of that Jaime 410 00:20:13,370 --> 00:20:10,320 mausan was being asked as a guest on TV 411 00:20:16,130 --> 00:20:13,380 on TV programs on a you know regular 412 00:20:18,770 --> 00:20:16,140 basis and I was you know watching all 413 00:20:20,570 --> 00:20:18,780 those shows you know instantly hooked 414 00:20:23,750 --> 00:20:20,580 trying to see what else was going on 415 00:20:27,289 --> 00:20:23,760 because apparently it was the beginning 416 00:20:30,110 --> 00:20:27,299 of a really active wave of UFO activity 417 00:20:32,570 --> 00:20:30,120 that happened on Mexico in the in the 418 00:20:35,169 --> 00:20:32,580 early 1990s and that is the reason why 419 00:20:38,510 --> 00:20:35,179 you know I kept 420 00:20:39,650 --> 00:20:38,520 watching the the news here in Mexico and 421 00:20:43,310 --> 00:20:39,660 at the same time when the internet 422 00:20:45,710 --> 00:20:43,320 became uh available I used the internet 423 00:20:49,970 --> 00:20:45,720 when I was going to college to try to 424 00:20:54,409 -->

427 00:21:04,490 --> 00:21:00,299 back then you know Roswell Roswell 428 00:21:07,789 --> 00:21:04,500 became very big in the 1990s Area 51 and 429 00:21:10,250 --> 00:21:07,799 Bob Lazar and and the Gulf Breeze 430 00:21:12,710 --> 00:21:10,260 sightings and all that jazz you know and 431 00:21:15,370 --> 00:21:12,720 that's the thing that you know kept kept 432 00:21:18,289 --> 00:21:15,380 my

a good 529 00:25:56,210 --> 00:25:53,400 experience because it opened my eyes it 530 00:25:58,490 --> 00:25:56,220 opened and it made me realize there's a 531 00:26:01,909 --> 00:25:58,500 lot of charlatans out there and there's 532 00:26:05,269 --> 00:26:01,919 the UFO phenomenon is played with all 533 00:26:07,010 --> 00:26:05,279 these fake uh prophecies you know 534 00:26:11,409 --> 00:26:07,020 prophecies that don't come true 535 00:26:14,690 --> 00:26:11,419 sometimes after a 536 00:26:16,970 --> 00:26:14,700 predictions were made and actually did 537 00:26:19,909 --> 00:26:16,980 come true so it's a like you said it's 538 00:26:21,890 --> 00:26:19,919 the trickster nature of this phenomena 539 00:26:24,110 --> 00:26:21,900 that is toying with us like saying hey

um yes yeah like right before yeah right 561 00:27:32,690 --> 00:27:29,159 before the big story hit in the New York 562 00:27:36,890 --> 00:27:32,700 Times crazy crazy how that worked out um 563 00:27:40,250 --> 00:27:36,900 so how did that come to be how did what 564 00:27:42,350 --> 00:27:40,260 inspired you to write Anarchy in the UFO 565 00:27:45,110 --> 00:27:42,360 and uh how did you get hooked up with 566 00:27:46,669 --> 00:27:45,120 Robbie Graham and and and the editors 567 00:27:51,310 --> 00:27:46,679 and everyone over there at UFOs were 568 00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:55,669 uh

movies that have some kind 611 00:30:04,789 --> 00:30:03,360 of like alien of UFO theme and trying to 612 00:30:09,190 --> 00:30:04,799 you know 613 00:30:13,250 --> 00:30:09,200 like deconstruct The Narrative of those 614 00:30:18,169 --> 00:30:13,260 uh movies and compare it with actual uh 615 00:30:22,070 --> 00:30:18,179 UFO history you know and seeing how uh 616 00:30:24,830 --> 00:30:22,080 you ufology and Hollywood keep like 617 00:30:27,850 --> 00:30:24,840 cross-pollinating and and influencing 618 00:30:32,450 --> 00:30:27,860 each other in a really interesting way 619 00:30:35,210 --> 00:30:32,460 uh that goes beyond the idea of just 620 00:30:38,810 --> 00:30:35,220 Hollywood writers paying attention to to 621 00:30:41,870 --> 00:30:38,820 you know the UFO phenomenon 622 00:30:43,789 --> 00:30:41,880 and because of that I started to 623 00:30:46,789 --> 00:30:43,799 correspond with Robbie 624 00:30:50,029 --> 00:30:46,799 you know be a via email 625 00:30:52,669 --> 00:30:50,039 he asked me at one point to contribute 626 00:30:53,690 --> 00:30:52,679 with a few guest articles for his uh 627 00:30:56,750 --> 00:30:53,700 blog 628 00:30:59,450 --> 00:30:56,760 and I wrote about this really cool 629 00:31:02,930 --> 00:30:59,460 Spanish movie that I highly recommend 630 00:31:06,649 --> 00:31:02,940 called latillos volantes 631 00:31:09,350 --> 00:31:06,659 which is about these guys in the in 632 00:31:11,289 --> 00:31:09,360 Spain in the 1970s and this is based on 633 00:31:15,470 --> 00:31:11,299 an actual real case 634 00:31:18,850 --> 00:31:15,480 these two men committed suicide in the 635 00:31:20,630 --> 00:31:18,860 most horrific manner like this 636 00:31:25,549 --> 00:31:20,640 lay down 637 00:31:28,490 --> 00:31:25,559 on the track of uh you know train 638 00:31:30,130 --> 00:31:28,500 and they let the train decapitate them 639 00:31:32,510 --> 00:31:30,140 and 640 00:31:36,049 --> 00:31:32,520 the reason that the story became famous 641 00:31:38,210 --> 00:31:36,059 is because uh they found a letter in the 642 00:31:40,190 --> 00:31:38,220 pocket the breast pocket of one of these 643 00:31:43,970 --> 00:31:40,200 men who were wearing you know 644 00:31:46,610 --> 00:31:43,980 uh form of suits and they were saying 645 00:31:49,190 --> 00:31:46,620 you know like the space brothers are 646 00:31:51,710 --> 00:31:49,200 beckoning us we belong to the stars or 647 00:31:54,769 --> 00:31:51,720 something like that so I I really wanted 648 00:31:56,450 --> 00:31:54,779 to write something about this this movie 649 00:31:59,210 --> 00:31:56,460 that which is really cool and 650 00:32:02,389 --> 00:31:59,220 unfortunately I don't think it's uh 651 00:32:05,029 --> 00:32:02,399 known in English-speaking countries 652 00:32:09,529 --> 00:32:05,039 and I wrote a few other articles and 653 00:32:13,130 --> 00:32:09,539 because of that and because also I I was 654 00:32:17,149 --> 00:32:13,140 trying back back in those days to like 655 00:32:19,370 --> 00:32:17,159 make Robbie come into our fold of 656 00:32:22,190 --> 00:32:19,380 excluded middle ears or people who were 657 00:32:25,330 --> 00:32:22,200 no longer interested in the nuts and 658 00:32:27,830 --> 00:32:25,340 bolts or ET angle of the UFO phenomenon 659 00:32:30,769 --> 00:32:27,840 uh I remember I remember Robbie back 660 00:32:35,690 --> 00:32:30,779 then was full-on not some Bolter full-on 661 00:32:36,669 --> 00:32:35,700 uh believer in disclosure he even 662 00:32:40,269 --> 00:32:36,679 um 663 00:32:43,850 --> 00:32:40,279 acquiesce me or convince me to to 664 00:32:47,930 --> 00:32:43,860 participate in that uh I don't know if 665 00:32:51,169 --> 00:32:47,940 you remember that uh open online uh 666 00:32:53,570 --> 00:32:51,179 petition that that was opening in 667 00:32:56,269 --> 00:32:53,580 Obama's administration in the White 668 00:33:00,769 --> 00:32:56,279 House yes that will you know Gathering 669

Steve Bassett 675 00:33:20,990 --> 00:33:17,340 yeah yeah the problem with that petition 676 00:33:23,810 --> 00:33:21,000 it was sorry but it was so poorly 677 00:33:26,210 --> 00:33:23,820 poorly written like 678 00:33:29,149 --> 00:33:26,220 we want to know what the government 679 00:33:32,690 --> 00:33:29,159 knows about extraterrestrial visitation 680 00:33:35,690 --> 00:33:32,700 okay you are already assuming that UFO 681 00:33:38,269 --> 00:33:35,700 sorry structural so Striker you know and 682 00:33:41,889 --> 00:33:38,279 number two that you think that the 683 00:33:43,430 --> 00:33:41,899 government knows all about you know said 684 00:33:46,789 --> 00:33:43,440 activity 685 00:33:50,330 --> 00:33:46,799 and because he had gathered some so many 686 00:33:53,870 --> 00:33:50,340 signatures over five thousand the White 687 00:33:56,509 --> 00:33:53,880 House was forced to actually you know uh 688 00:34:00,289 --> 00:33:56,519 say something but they came up with you 689 00:34:02,450 --> 00:34:00,299 know the usual land base now we don't 690 00:34:04,990 --> 00:34:02,460 know anything about that we were not 691 00:34:07,610 --> 00:34:05,000 we're not investigating you for activity 692 00:34:10,369 --> 00:34:07,620 case closed and the only thing that came 693 00:34:13,730 --> 00:34:10,379 out of that is that the next petitions 694 00:34:16,609 --> 00:34:13,740 had to go over that threshold that you 695 00:34:19,190 --> 00:34:16,619 know from now on it's going to be uh 696 00:34:21,889 --> 00:34:19,200 over 5 000 signatures you know thanks to 697 00:34:23,629 --> 00:34:21,899 the beautiful weirdos you know they 698 00:34:25,790 --> 00:34:23,639 managed to gather 699 00:34:28,430 --> 00:34:25,800 you know I managed to get us embarrassed 700

00:34:37,490 --> 00:34:34,379 when he came up with the idea of writing 704 00:34:41,570 --> 00:34:37,500 or editing this anthology of different 705 00:34:44,389 --> 00:34:41,580 essays about UFO was he invited me and 706 00:34:48,589 --> 00:34:44,399 he invited all of our common friends you 707 00:34:52,430 --> 00:34:48,599 know great Bishop you Joshua coaching uh 708 00:34:54,349 -->

00:35:03,530 --> 00:34:58,940 different 712 00:35:07,370 --> 00:35:03,540 opinions about UFOs from the um from the 713 00:35:09,890 --> 00:35:07,380 borderline skeptic like you know this is 714 00:35:12,050 --> 00:35:09,900 most of this is about nonsense to the 715 00:35:15,109 --> 00:35:12,060 people who are in the really nuts and 716 00:35:18,170 --> 00:35:15,119 bolts you know only science can can 717 00:35:22,250 --> 00:35:18,180 investigate your fourth Camp to more 718 00:35:25,270 --> 00:35:22,260 people were who were dabbling with the 719 00:35:27,470 --> 00:35:25,280 what we will call the love and light 720 00:35:31,849 --> 00:35:27,480 aspect of the phenomenal Mike Cleveland 721 00:35:34,730 --> 00:35:31,859 around Michaela is proud to say he's not 722 00:35:38,270 --> 00:35:34,740 a UFO investigator he's not a scientist 723 00:35:41,390 --> 00:35:38,280 he's only interested in developing with 724 00:35:43,130 --> 00:35:41,400 you know how the phenomenon has affected 725 00:35:46,130 --> 00:35:43,140 people like him you know with his 726 00:35:47,390 --> 00:35:46,140 experience and have you know it goes 727 00:35:51,349 --> 00:35:47,400 beyond 728 00:35:53,870 --> 00:35:51,359 the idea of you know little scientists 729 00:35:56,450 --> 00:35:53,880 coming to this planet on metal craft to 730 00:36:00,170 --> 00:35:56,460 perform experiments yeah okay so how do 731 00:36:03,470 --> 00:36:00,180 you explain that with you know the 732 00:36:07,370 --> 00:36:03,480 shamanic like experiences that Mike and 733 00:36:11,390 --> 00:36:07,380 others have had with owls that are 734 00:36:13,190 --> 00:36:11,400 strongly strongly related to UFOs you 735 00:36:17,930 --> 00:36:13,200 know anyway 736 00:36:20,810 --> 00:36:17,940 I when I when I first uh was proposed 737 00:36:23,270 --> 00:36:20,820 this I say okay you know now here's my 738 00:36:24,950 --> 00:36:23,280 chance I've never I had never written 739 00:36:26,390 --> 00:36:24,960 anything I've never written a book and 740 00:36:28,849 --> 00:36:26,400 this is something you know about Ryan 741 00:36:32,030 --> 00:36:28,859 you spent a few years in the UFO 742 00:36:33,849 --> 00:36:32,040 phenomena people always say okay so when 743 00:36:37,010 --> 00:36:33,859 are you going to write a book because 744 00:36:39,250 --> 00:36:37,020 you don't become a real ufologist unless 745 00:36:42,770 --> 00:36:39,260 you have your name 746 00:36:46,069 --> 00:36:42,780 of course right that's the right of 747 00:36:49,370 --> 00:36:46,079 passage yeah like Peter Robin says you 748 00:36:53,030 --> 00:36:49,380 know you you you clap you you click your 749 00:36:54,770 --> 00:36:53,040 heels you touch your nose you go a trail 750 00:36:58,270 --> 00:36:54,780 you're an apologist 751 00:37:04,849 --> 00:37:01,569 uh Google gobble one of us one of us 752 00:37:06,470 --> 00:37:04,859 exactly so I said okay let's let's do 753 00:37:08,089 --> 00:37:06,480 this let's write let's write a message 754 00:37:09,530 --> 00:37:08,099 and I thought about it what can I say 755 00:37:13,130 --> 00:37:09,540 what can I say 756 00:37:15,710 --> 00:37:13,140 and I came to this conclusion after 757 00:37:18,829 --> 00:37:15,720 reading a lot of McKenna and after you 758 00:37:21,890 --> 00:37:18,839 know ballet and junk Hill I said well 759 00:37:24,710 --> 00:37:21,900 the one underlying Factor about UFOs 760 00:37:28,670 --> 00:37:24,720 that nobody seemed to to pay attention 761 00:37:32,210 --> 00:37:28,680 to is the anarchical nature of the UFO 762 00:37:34,550 --> 00:37:32,220 phenomenon the the how it is so 763 00:37:38,210 --> 00:37:34,560 anti-establishment 764 00:37:40,510 --> 00:37:38,220 in its in its nature in in the way it 765 00:37:45,490 --> 00:37:40,520 behaves in the way it affects society 766 00:37:49,550 --> 00:37:45,500 which is all the more uh ironic because 767 00:37:52,370 --> 00:37:49,560 now what everybody is asking is that the 768 00:37:54,470 --> 00:37:52,380 establishment pays attention pay 769 00:37:56,450 --> 00:37:54,480 attention to the UFO phenomena and not 770 00:37:59,030 --> 00:37:56,460 only that to so we are asking the 771 00:38:02,810 --> 00:37:59,040 government under establishment to solve 772 00:38:05,150 --> 00:38:02,820 the UFO problem for us you know right so 773 00:38:07,930 --> 00:38:05,160 you're asking the more Square people as 774 00:38:11,990 --> 00:38:07,940 people the more bureaucratic the more 775 00:38:15,650 --> 00:38:12,000 red tape uh conscious people in the 776 00:38:17,750 --> 00:38:15,660 world to go and Tackle something that is 777 00:38:20,829 --> 00:38:17,760 doesn't give a [\h__\h] 778 00:38:25,069 --> 00:38:20,839 about red tape about rules 779 00:38:30,109 --> 00:38:25,079 bureaucracy you know uh memos 780 00:38:33,890 --> 00:38:30,119 uh need to know you know the UFO does 781 00:38:36,349 --> 00:38:33,900 not respect any borders do UFO does does 782 00:38:38,329 --> 00:38:36,359 not respect any rules it doesn't respect 783 00:38:40,370 --> 00:38:38,339 the rule of gravity you know the law of 784 00:38:42,349 --> 00:38:40,380 gravity is something that the overall 785 00:38:45,410 --> 00:38:42,359 phenomenon marks and this is something 786 00:38:49,609 --> 00:38:45,420 that people like Terence McKenna said 787 00:38:52,970 --> 00:38:49,619 before us there is a wonderful uh 788 00:38:54,589 --> 00:38:52,980 speech he gave and at the angels and 789 00:38:58,250 --> 00:38:54,599 Aliens conference I think it happened in 790 00:39:01,010 --> 00:38:58,260 the 1980s and I quoted that uh speech 791 00:39:03,589 --> 00:39:01,020 for my for my essay you can find it on 792 00:39:07,069 --> 00:39:03,599 YouTube by the way and he says that you 793 00:39:11,150 --> 00:39:07,079 know the oval phenomenon is kind of like 794 00:39:16,250 --> 00:39:11,160 the assertion of the goddess manifesting 795 00:39:18,790 --> 00:39:16,260 into our world to say to to say to you 796 00:39:22,010 --> 00:39:18,800 know like the the 797 00:39:23,030 --> 00:39:22,020 academicians and like the the priests of 798 00:39:26,569 --> 00:39:23,040 science 799 00:39:29,870 --> 00:39:26,579 hold on you've gone far enough 800 00:39:32,510 --> 00:39:29,880 with your little ideas and your little 801 00:39:36,530 --> 00:39:32,520 models of the universe that you think 802 00:39:39,050 --> 00:39:36,540 are so cute and that are so precious and 803 00:39:39,910 --> 00:39:39,060 we're just gonna come here and we're 804 00:39:45,069 -->

science is nothing more than a sort of 808 00:39:58,630 --> 00:39:55,140 little limiting rules that are only 809 00:40:00,890 --> 00:39:58,640 useful to create toys 810 00:40:03,530 --> 00:40:00,900 for the rich 811 00:40:05,930 --> 00:40:03,540 you know and and I was like yeah [\h__\h] 812 00:40:08,930 --> 00:40:05,940 yeah you know this is the kind of stuff 813 00:40:11,450 --> 00:40:08,940 that that that maybe one of the reasons 814 00:40:13,670 --> 00:40:11,460 why I love the UFO phenomenon so much is 815 00:40:15,410 --> 00:40:13,680 because deep down I'm also an anarchist 816 00:40:19,030 --> 00:40:15,420 and I think that people who are 817 00:40:22,390 --> 00:40:19,040 interested in UFOs have a deep 818 00:40:24,310 --> 00:40:22,400 uh iconoclastic 819 00:40:27,770 --> 00:40:24,320 anti-structural 820 00:40:28,730 --> 00:40:27,780 anti-hierarchical attitude you know and 821 00:40:33,349 --> 00:40:28,740 and 822 00:40:36,230 --> 00:40:33,359 which is why when I see uvologists who 823 00:40:39,109 --> 00:40:36,240 think they they're they're one goal in 824 00:40:41,870 --> 00:40:39,119 life will be to like be part of the 825 00:40:44,930 --> 00:40:41,880 system and and be respected by the 826 00:40:48,710 --> 00:40:44,940 system you know be be welcomed by the 827 00:40:52,790 --> 00:40:48,720 mainstream is like no that's not a role 828 00:40:55,750 --> 00:40:52,800 we're Outsiders and we we need to remain 829 00:40:59,450 --> 00:40:55,760 in the outside in order to keep 830 00:41:02,690 --> 00:40:59,460 attacking Society well attacking uh the 831 00:41:06,670 --> 00:41:02,700 the stupidity of society the stupidity 832 00:41:12,770 --> 00:41:10,910 ideas ideas that need to be attacked you 833 00:41:17,690 --> 00:41:12,780 know always you know you have to look 834 00:41:20,089 --> 00:41:17,700 into into a society and and if you know 835 00:41:22,849 --> 00:41:20,099 where where the society is festering 836 00:41:26,270 --> 00:41:22,859 because when you see that there are 837 00:41:29,569 --> 00:41:26,280 topics that you're not even allowed to 838 00:41:30,470 --> 00:41:29,579 to touch upon one example I can give is 839 00:41:37,329 --> 00:41:30,480 uh 840 00:41:40,970 --> 00:41:37,339 released TV series well Netflix series 841 00:41:42,890 --> 00:41:40,980 uh ancient apocalypse there were some 842 00:41:46,210 --> 00:41:42,900 people who went and attacked him and 843 00:41:49,849 --> 00:41:46,220 said this is the most dangerous TV show 844 00:41:51,349 --> 00:41:49,859 right now it's like really a TV show 845 00:41:53,750 --> 00:41:51,359 that is not even about I don't know 846 00:41:57,109 --> 00:41:53,760 pornography or about 847 00:42:00,290 --> 00:41:57,119 I don't know like uh you know horrible 848 00:42:02,270 --> 00:42:00,300 politics or about you know whatever you 849 00:42:04,609 --> 00:42:02,280 think you know like oh death metal 850 00:42:06,970 --> 00:42:04,619 whatever or drugs or something violent 851 00:42:09,609 --> 00:42:06,980 something that is corrupting uh 852 00:42:12,950 --> 00:42:09,619 children's Minds no it's about 853 00:42:15,650 --> 00:42:12,960 archeology and about uh you know 854 00:42:18,349 --> 00:42:15,660 proposing that well maybe there was a 855 00:42:22,430 --> 00:42:18,359 commentary impact that that ended a 856 00:42:24,710 --> 00:42:22,440 highly Advanced uh civilizations fifteen 857 00:42:25,910 --> 00:42:24,720 thousand years ago or now the the the 858 00:42:30,589 --> 00:42:25,920 most 859 00:42:33,050 --> 00:42:30,599 me a break is and it's not like uh 860 00:42:35,750 --> 00:42:33,060 Graham Hancock is 100 right about 861 00:42:36,530 --> 00:42:35,760 everything obviously he's not and I 862 00:42:40,130 --> 00:42:36,540 actually 863 00:42:43,370 --> 00:42:40,140 also will criticize the attitude he's 864 00:42:47,210 --> 00:42:43,380 taking today in which he is always going 865 00:42:49,790 --> 00:42:47,220 after the the archaeologist and painting 866 00:42:51,410 --> 00:42:49,800 them as the bodies or the villains in 867 00:42:53,569 --> 00:42:51,420 the story I don't think that's the right 868 00:42:56,810 --> 00:42:53,579 approach to do but at the same time I 869 00:42:59,390 --> 00:42:56,820 understand that after Decades of being 870 00:43:01,309 --> 00:42:59,400 constantly attacked constantly undermine 871 00:43:03,650 --> 00:43:01,319 constantly ridiculed 872 00:43:06,109 --> 00:43:03,660 the guy is 873 00:43:09,650 --> 00:43:06,119 finally trying to make a Victory lap 874 00:43:12,170 --> 00:43:09,660 after some of the ideas he's proposing 875 00:43:14,589 --> 00:43:12,180 is starting to get a certain validation 876 00:43:16,790 --> 00:43:14,599 you know the discovery of kobekli Tepe 877 00:43:19,609 --> 00:43:16,800 starting to getting more and more 878 00:43:21,470 --> 00:43:19,619 evidence of these commentary impact 15 879 00:43:25,250 --> 00:43:21,480 000 years ago that might have ended the 880 00:43:27,950 --> 00:43:25,260 younger driest uh Ice Age you know 881 00:43:31,670 --> 00:43:27,960 things like that so getting back to you 882 00:43:34,430 --> 00:43:31,680 UFOs UFOs was also uh uh a forbidden 883 00:43:36,770 --> 00:43:34,440 verboten topic not not too long ago 884 00:43:40,329 --> 00:43:36,780 let's remember what happened with James 885 00:43:43,550 --> 00:43:40,339 McDonald James McDonald this uh 886 00:43:47,210 --> 00:43:43,560 meteorologist that in the 1960s got 887 00:43:50,809 --> 00:43:47,220 interested in the UFO phenomenon when 888 00:43:54,650 --> 00:43:50,819 I'm requested to to to see the the Blue 889 00:43:56,870 --> 00:43:54,660 Book uh Air Force files and UFOs 890 00:43:59,329 --> 00:43:56,880 and because of that he learned about 891 00:44:01,730 --> 00:43:59,339 what happened with Robertson panel in 892 00:44:05,030 --> 00:44:01,740 1952 you know when the Robertson panel 893 00:44:07,849 --> 00:44:05,040 decided Well UFOs are dangerous because 894 00:44:11,089 --> 00:44:07,859 they distract people and they uh 895 00:44:13,609 --> 00:44:11,099 obfuscate uh the ability of the the 896 00:44:16,790 --> 00:44:13,619 government to respond to actual threats 897 00:44:19,190 --> 00:44:16,800 so let's let's better re-educate people 898 00:44:22,970 --> 00:44:19,200 into into thinking that UFOs are 899 00:44:26,089 --> 00:44:22,980 nonsense and and McDonald went and uh 900 00:44:28,250 --> 00:44:26,099 went after the Air Force when after also 901 00:44:29,870 --> 00:44:28,260 Allen heineck because heineck knew about 902 00:44:32,450 --> 00:44:29,880 Robert the Robertson panel but he 903 00:44:35,210 --> 00:44:32,460 decided to keep quiet in order not to 904 00:44:38,390 --> 00:44:35,220 compromise his uh Insider position 905 00:44:41,150 --> 00:44:38,400 because so we wouldn't be so he wouldn't 906 00:44:41,890 --> 00:44:41,160 cut off from like the source of 907 00:44:45,069 --> 00:44:41,900 information 908 00:44:49,910 --> 00:44:45,079 and and because of his interest in in 909 00:44:56,210 --> 00:44:49,920 UFOs he got attacked by people like uh 910 00:45:03,890 --> 00:44:59,870 no the other one uh our devil in the 911 00:45:09,790 --> 00:45:03,900 tarot card uh it starts with a K his 912 00:45:14,809 --> 00:45:09,800 last name oh oh uh oh gosh 913 00:45:21,829 --> 00:45:18,109 well he was attacked by Skeptics class 914 00:45:23,450 --> 00:45:21,839 Philip class right we did it and and 915 00:45:28,490 --> 00:45:23,460 because of that 916 00:45:30,290 --> 00:45:28,500 his life got 917 00:45:32,450 --> 00:45:30,300 possible Saints 918 00:45:35,990 --> 00:45:32,460 got kicked out of his job 919 00:45:38,210 --> 00:45:36,000 his marriage got ruined and and he ended 920 00:45:40,430 --> 00:45:38,220 up killing himself 921 00:45:44,569 --> 00:45:40,440 you know that's the reason why we chose 922 00:45:47,270 --> 00:45:44,579 uh by the way we chose uh McDonald to be 923 00:45:49,250 --> 00:45:47,280 our hand man in the in the tarot cards 924 00:45:52,309 --> 00:45:49,260 you know because he was you know he was 925 00:45:55,250 --> 00:45:52,319 in in in in in a lot of ways he was a 926 00:45:57,230 --> 00:45:55,260 martyr for the UFO cause 927 00:46:00,470 --> 00:45:57,240 nowadays you don't you don't see that 928 00:46:04,069 --> 00:46:00,480 but still you you you can get out into a 929 00:46:06,890 --> 00:46:04,079 lot of uh trouble within certain circles 930 00:46:09,290 --> 00:46:06,900 if you openly talk about UFOs 931 00:46:11,930 --> 00:46:09,300 particularly the topics about UFOs that 932 00:46:14,210 --> 00:46:11,940 nobody wants to pay attention even even 933 00:46:16,190 --> 00:46:14,220 even people who believe in UFOs are 934 00:46:18,710 --> 00:46:16,200 uncomfortable when you talk about you 935 00:46:22,370 --> 00:46:18,720 know abductions on where you talk about 936 00:46:23,930 --> 00:46:22,380 maybe the relationship between UFOs and 937 00:46:25,190 --> 00:46:23,940 Consciousness a relationship between 938 00:46:28,550 --> 00:46:25,200 UFOs 939 00:46:31,430 --> 00:46:28,560 this is something that people uh 940 00:46:32,750 --> 00:46:31,440 who are in the nuts and bolts Camp they 941 00:46:37,130 --> 00:46:32,760 don't want to hear about that they only 942 00:46:40,670 --> 00:46:37,140 want to hear about uh radar returns and 943 00:46:43,250 --> 00:46:40,680 and and infrared videos and the 944 00:46:45,890 --> 00:46:43,260 testimony of pilots and maybe the meta 945 00:46:47,870 --> 00:46:45,900 materials and whatnot but you start to 946 00:46:50,030 --> 00:46:47,880 think you start to say like yeah you 947 00:46:55,230 --> 00:46:50,040 know someone had a UFO experience and 948 00:46:59,690 --> 00:46:57,430 [Music] 949 00:47:03,829 --> 00:46:59,700 yeah exactly 950 00:47:06,530 --> 00:47:03,839 yeah well there's so many avenues that 951 00:47:08,630 --> 00:47:06,540 could go down Migo um but you brought up 952 00:47:10,790 --> 00:47:08,640 a word that keeps sticking out to me 953 00:47:14,150 --> 00:47:10,800 when it comes to Anarchy and that's 954 00:47:17,450 --> 00:47:14,160 chaos you know kind of what um needs to 955 00:47:22,309 --> 00:47:17,460 happen in order for Anarchy to uh Thrive 956 00:47:24,770 --> 00:47:22,319 to survive to uh succeed even and uh you 957 00:47:27,950 --> 00:47:24,780 bring you brought up in the essay this 958 00:47:31,190 --> 00:47:27,960 idea that UFO sightings anomalous 959 00:47:34,069 --> 00:47:31,200 experiences paranormal uh Poltergeist to 960 00:47:37,309 --> 00:47:34,079 be specific uh often happen in chaotic 961 00:47:41,089 --> 00:47:37,319 moments uh you know in someone's life or 962 00:47:43,370 --> 00:47:41,099 uh uh in in times of turmoil and that's 963 00:47:46,430 --> 00:47:43,380 when you see a lot of activity happening 964 00:47:48,589 --> 00:47:46,440 with the UFO phenomenon so I guess my 965 00:47:51,109 --> 00:47:48,599 question for you would be in terms of 966 00:47:55,430 --> 00:47:51,119 the essay Anarchy in the UFO and this 967 00:47:58,010 --> 00:47:55,440 idea of uh turmoil whether external or 968 00:48:00,710 --> 00:47:58,020 internal uh what does that mean to you 969 00:48:04,309 --> 00:48:00,720 why do you think that is that a lot of 970 00:48:07,490 --> 00:48:04,319 this stuff seems to conjure itself up in 971 00:48:10,550 --> 00:48:07,500 great times of turmoil or or or even 972 00:48:12,109 --> 00:48:10,560 chaos I guess if that's what I'm if I'm 973 00:48:15,410 --> 00:48:12,119 kind of interpreting what you were 974 00:48:18,109 --> 00:48:15,420 writing right correct yeah well it 975 00:48:21,770 --> 00:48:18,119 remains an open question to me whether 976 00:48:26,510 --> 00:48:21,780 the UFO phenomenon comes from 977 00:48:29,630 --> 00:48:26,520 outside of us or comes from inside of us 978 00:48:31,730 --> 00:48:29,640 and obviously to a Mystic that question 979 00:48:34,190 --> 00:48:31,740 becomes irrelevant you know a mystery 980 00:48:36,410 --> 00:48:34,200 comes to the realization well there's no 981 00:48:39,290 --> 00:48:36,420 it's the inside and it is now outside it 982 00:48:42,410 --> 00:48:39,300 just is everything everything is 983 00:48:46,730 --> 00:48:42,420 interrelated with everything else 984 00:48:51,589 --> 00:48:49,010 I don't think we're paying enough 985 00:48:54,829 --> 00:48:51,599 attention to 986 00:48:59,630 --> 00:48:54,839 the power of the human mind 987 00:49:03,710 --> 00:48:59,640 and the way the human mind can have 988 00:49:05,750 --> 00:49:03,720 an influence not only in ourselves 989 00:49:09,530 --> 00:49:05,760 but also 990 00:49:12,770 --> 00:49:09,540 in the physical world that we inhabit 991 00:49:15,470 --> 00:49:12,780 like for example 992 00:49:18,230 --> 00:49:15,480 everybody has heard of the phenomenon 993 00:49:20,690 --> 00:49:18,240 called known as stigmata 994 00:49:22,210 --> 00:49:20,700 this is something that is very common 995 00:49:25,910 --> 00:49:22,220 among 996 00:49:30,710 --> 00:49:25,920 Catholic saints like Saint Francis of 997 00:49:35,870 --> 00:49:30,720 Assisi I think he was the first known uh 998 00:49:37,490 --> 00:49:35,880 Saint or Mystic who after having like a 999 00:49:40,130 --> 00:49:37,500 vision 1000 00:49:42,290 --> 00:49:40,140 like and actually if you if you read the 1001 00:49:43,910 --> 00:49:42,300 accounts and and you see the way that is 1002 00:49:47,150 --> 00:49:43,920 being depicted in art 1003 00:49:49,910 --> 00:49:47,160 uh Diana pasuka you know has has shown 1004 00:49:52,010 --> 00:49:49,920 this to to her students and they say 1005 00:49:54,050 --> 00:49:52,020 well this is a UFO event you know some 1006 00:49:56,930 --> 00:49:54,060 guys saw something in the sky and and 1007 00:49:59,210 --> 00:49:56,940 and there's something in the sky 1008 00:50:02,589 --> 00:49:59,220 shut down some kind of like Ray into 1009 00:50:05,690 --> 00:50:02,599 into into him and after that some some 1010 00:50:08,870 --> 00:50:05,700 uh wounds started to manifest in his 1011 00:50:10,490 --> 00:50:08,880 body wounds that are perpetually 1012 00:50:14,109 --> 00:50:10,500 mimicking 1013 00:50:17,210 --> 00:50:14,119 the wounds inflicted to Christ when he 1014 00:50:20,569 --> 00:50:17,220 died on the cross you know the nails 1015 00:50:22,849 --> 00:50:20,579 that pierced through his hands and 1016 00:50:26,450 --> 00:50:22,859 through his ankles and also the wound in 1017 00:50:30,470 --> 00:50:26,460 his chest and and in his uh forehead 1018 00:50:33,710 --> 00:50:30,480 when he was uh put the the crown of 1019 00:50:36,730 --> 00:50:33,720 thorns although interestingly enough now 1020 00:50:42,349 --> 00:50:36,740 when we know that the instant romance 1021 00:50:44,990 --> 00:50:42,359 didn't actually uh conduct uh execution 1022 00:50:50,510 --> 00:50:45,000 by crucifixion in that particular manner 1023 00:50:54,109 --> 00:50:50,520 like if you are going to hang uh an 1024 00:50:55,930 --> 00:50:54,119 adult on uh on a cross on a wooden cross 1025 00:51:00,230 --> 00:50:55,940 you don't 1026 00:51:03,589 --> 00:51:00,240 peers and the nail through uh the bones 1027 00:51:05,630 --> 00:51:03,599 of the Palm because these are too 1028 00:51:07,430 --> 00:51:05,640 fragile too brittle they wouldn't be 1029 00:51:11,930 --> 00:51:07,440 able to withstand 1030 00:51:14,569 --> 00:51:11,940 the full uh weight of the body it's 1031 00:51:17,030 --> 00:51:14,579 better to do it here 1032 00:51:20,470 --> 00:51:17,040 you know but nevertheless the the the 1033 00:51:24,470 --> 00:51:20,480 the the wounds of the Stigmata people 1034 00:51:26,809 --> 00:51:24,480 appear more often here so what I'm going 1035 00:51:30,230 --> 00:51:26,819 with that is that this is 1036 00:51:33,470 --> 00:51:30,240 this is one example of the incredible 1037 00:51:34,609 --> 00:51:33,480 power of the human mind in our bodies 1038 00:51:36,290 --> 00:51:34,619 and 1039 00:51:38,870 --> 00:51:36,300 now that we're talking about the 1040 00:51:40,730 --> 00:51:38,880 Stigmata what let's talk about something 1041 00:51:44,450 --> 00:51:40,740 like alien implants what if alien 1042 00:51:45,910 --> 00:51:44,460 implants are a form of stigmata or are 1043 00:51:48,290 --> 00:51:45,920 some kind of like 1044 00:51:50,329 --> 00:51:48,300 manifestation that that the body 1045 00:51:51,470 --> 00:51:50,339 produces some kind of like foreign 1046 00:51:55,609 --> 00:51:51,480 object 1047 00:51:58,130 --> 00:51:55,619 that is just the product of one's strong 1048 00:52:00,290 --> 00:51:58,140 belief that you were abducted by aliens 1049 00:52:02,390 --> 00:52:00,300 and the aliens left something within 1050 00:52:04,510 --> 00:52:02,400 your body you know maybe the same way 1051 00:52:07,430 --> 00:52:04,520 that the body is capable of 1052 00:52:10,309 --> 00:52:07,440 rupturing the skin and the blood vessels 1053 00:52:13,190 --> 00:52:10,319 to create this wound in the form of the 1054 00:52:15,890 --> 00:52:13,200 womb of Christ maybe you you also get to 1055 00:52:20,150 --> 00:52:15,900 to create some kind of like foreign 1056 00:52:22,069 --> 00:52:20,160 object uh in your arms or you know in 1057 00:52:23,329 --> 00:52:22,079 your ear love whatever 1058 00:52:26,049 --> 00:52:23,339 uh 1059 00:52:29,690 --> 00:52:26,059 but not only that because people 1060 00:52:31,430 --> 00:52:29,700 said we have yeah we well about that we 1061 00:52:35,030 --> 00:52:31,440 know about the placebo effect and all 1062 00:52:39,049 --> 00:52:35,040 that but that doesn't explain UFOs well 1063 00:52:41,569 --> 00:52:39,059 maybe it does uh another wonderful 1064 00:52:44,630 --> 00:52:41,579 example of this is the Philip experiment 1065 00:52:47,809 --> 00:52:44,640 that happened in the 1970s in Canada 1066 00:52:51,290 --> 00:52:47,819 these Pro psychologists they wanted to 1067 00:52:55,010 --> 00:52:51,300 to create a fake ghost you know and in 1068 00:52:57,890 --> 00:52:55,020 order to do that they they created a 1069 00:53:00,770 --> 00:52:57,900 very elaborate backstory of these 1070 00:53:02,930 --> 00:53:00,780 totally fictitious person that in their 1071 00:53:06,950 --> 00:53:02,940 experiment was going to be the ghost 1072 00:53:09,470 --> 00:53:06,960 they were going to contact a a a man by 1073 00:53:11,210 --> 00:53:09,480 the name Philip who lived hundreds of 1074 00:53:13,790 --> 00:53:11,220 years ago in England or something to 1075 00:53:17,270 --> 00:53:13,800 that effect and they even created a a 1076 00:53:20,650 --> 00:53:17,280 fake portrait of him and they started to 1077 00:53:23,809 --> 00:53:20,660 have these uh like 1078 00:53:26,569 --> 00:53:23,819 seances you know fake senses 1079 00:53:28,790 --> 00:53:26,579 uh in order to try to see if something 1080 00:53:30,470 --> 00:53:28,800 happened and at first they weren't 1081 00:53:32,630 --> 00:53:30,480 having a lot of success but they 1082 00:53:34,970 --> 00:53:32,640 persisted they changed a bit they 1083 00:53:37,130 --> 00:53:34,980 started to make it look more like a 1084 00:53:38,930 --> 00:53:37,140 traditional sense like lighting the 1085 00:53:41,210 --> 00:53:38,940 candles in a dark room or something like 1086 00:53:43,790 --> 00:53:41,220 that they started to use their rituals 1087 00:53:46,190 --> 00:53:43,800 you know in order to fake their own 1088 00:53:48,910 --> 00:53:46,200 minds into getting into this attitude 1089 00:53:51,710 --> 00:53:48,920 and that's when they started to get 1090 00:53:53,870 --> 00:53:51,720 tangible results like the table started 1091 00:53:56,349 --> 00:53:53,880 to you know jump and down and levitate 1092 00:53:59,329 --> 00:53:56,359 and and they started to to 1093 00:54:02,150 --> 00:53:59,339 Poltergeist like activity you know 1094 00:54:04,490 --> 00:54:02,160 that's it and how do you 1095 00:54:07,150 --> 00:54:04,500 how do you 1096 00:54:09,890 --> 00:54:07,160 explain that you know 1097 00:54:13,670 --> 00:54:09,900 that's something that shows that the 1098 00:54:17,450 --> 00:54:13,680 human mind is more powerful than we give 1099 00:54:20,450 --> 00:54:17,460 it any credit to and it and it's 1100 00:54:24,670 --> 00:54:20,460 fascinating how if you go into this they 1101 00:54:26,990 --> 00:54:24,680 study the history of remote viewing SRI 1102 00:54:30,770 --> 00:54:27,000 and all the people who got involved with 1103 00:54:34,190 --> 00:54:30,780 it a lot of those people also reported 1104 00:54:36,650 --> 00:54:34,200 having UFO experiences on of Their Own 1105 00:54:37,549 --> 00:54:36,660 you know and there was even people like 1106 00:54:40,609 --> 00:54:37,559 uh 1107 00:54:44,270 --> 00:54:40,619 Ted Owens the PK man someone's who he 1108 00:54:46,670 --> 00:54:44,280 was someone who was investigated by Dr 1109 00:54:49,790 --> 00:54:46,680 Jeffrey mishlov who is an American 1110 00:54:52,730 --> 00:54:49,800 toxicologist has a wonderful uh YouTube 1111 00:54:54,109 --> 00:54:52,740 channel uh new thinking allowed that I 1112 00:54:58,010 --> 00:54:54,119 highly recommend 1113 00:55:01,910 --> 00:54:58,020 uh and he investigated Ted Owens you 1114 00:55:04,430 --> 00:55:01,920 know and and he uh confirmed that many 1115 00:55:06,770 --> 00:55:04,440 of the things that he that this person 1116 00:55:09,290 --> 00:55:06,780 claimed happened you know when he 1117 00:55:10,970 --> 00:55:09,300 predicted you know UFO activity that 1118 00:55:13,430 --> 00:55:10,980 will happen on a certain area and at any 1119 00:55:16,130 --> 00:55:13,440 time and yeah people reported UFO 1120 00:55:18,829 --> 00:55:16,140 sightings or where he reported he he 1121 00:55:21,549 --> 00:55:18,839 claimed that he will use his contact 1122 00:55:25,490 --> 00:55:21,559 with alien intelligence as in order to 1123 00:55:28,309 --> 00:55:25,500 bring rain in an area that was stricken 1124 00:55:29,990 --> 00:55:28,319 by drought and yeah you know 1125 00:55:57,370 --> 00:55:30,000 a 1126 00:56:01,010 --> 00:55:57,380 these uh 1127 00:56:02,930 --> 00:56:01,020 psychic activity macro psychic activity 1128 00:56:05,450 --> 00:56:02,940 that 1129 00:56:07,870 --> 00:56:05,460 to an outside person it will be 1130 00:56:11,329 --> 00:56:07,880 indistinguishable from 1131 00:56:13,730 --> 00:56:11,339 real quote-unquote UFO activity and then 1132 00:56:17,270 --> 00:56:13,740 obviously it begs the question what is 1133 00:56:19,849 --> 00:56:17,280 real UFO quiz activity and what what is 1134 00:56:22,730 --> 00:56:19,859 is it something that's come from outside 1135 00:56:25,549 --> 00:56:22,740 of us you know that is controlled by an 1136 00:56:27,530 --> 00:56:25,559 outside intelligence or is it something 1137 00:56:29,569 --> 00:56:27,540 that is actually we are tricking 1138 00:56:32,450 --> 00:56:29,579 ourselves you know we just we don't we 1139 00:56:36,470 --> 00:56:32,460 just don't know it Terence McKenna 1140 00:56:40,549 --> 00:56:36,480 famously said that the modern man is so 1141 00:56:42,650 --> 00:56:40,559 detached from his soul then when you 1142 00:56:44,690 --> 00:56:42,660 encounter your soul you think you're 1143 00:56:46,730 --> 00:56:44,700 having an alien encounter 1144 00:56:50,089 --> 00:56:46,740 and that is something that I think about 1145 00:56:52,490 --> 00:56:50,099 constantly like saying well what if 1146 00:56:54,170 --> 00:56:52,500 the other that we think that we are 1147 00:56:56,510 --> 00:56:54,180 trying to get in contact with is just 1148 00:57:00,670 --> 00:56:56,520 another aspect of ourselves that is so 1149 00:57:04,309 --> 00:57:00,680 detached from our modern way of living 1150 00:57:06,829 --> 00:57:04,319 that whenever we encounter it we think 1151 00:57:09,950 --> 00:57:06,839 it's from outer space 1152 00:57:11,809 --> 00:57:09,960 right well I mean you even have this 1153 00:57:13,970 --> 00:57:11,819 quote in the essay and I loved this 1154 00:57:16,790 --> 00:57:13,980 quote um you kind of started the essay 1155 00:57:19,370 --> 00:57:16,800 with this a disc once presumed to serve 1156 00:57:22,309 --> 00:57:19,380 as a vehicle for transversing outer 1157 00:57:25,849 --> 00:57:22,319 space became a mirror for surveying 1158 00:57:28,730 --> 00:57:25,859 Inner Space which is beautiful I I mean 1159 00:57:30,530 --> 00:57:28,740 it it kind of that really resonated with 1160 00:57:33,950 --> 00:57:30,540 me because I think it it touches on what 1161 00:57:36,650 --> 00:57:33,960 you were just saying like how much are 1162 00:57:38,870 --> 00:57:36,660 we the phenomena 1163 00:57:42,049 --> 00:57:38,880 that we're trying to pursue that we're 1164 00:57:43,490 --> 00:57:42,059 trying to unravel and um oh man you 1165 00:57:46,130 --> 00:57:43,500 bring up so many good points a lot of 1166 00:57:48,710 --> 00:57:46,140 what you said reminded me of like you 1167 00:57:51,109 --> 00:57:48,720 know Kenneth Arnold even you know a 1168 00:57:53,809 --> 00:57:51,119 misquote in a newspaper having seen 1169 00:57:55,670 --> 00:57:53,819 quote unquote flying saucers when in 1170 00:57:58,309 --> 00:57:55,680 reality that's not even what he really 1171 00:58:02,390 --> 00:57:58,319 saw uh everyone after that started 1172 00:58:04,670 --> 00:58:02,400 seeing flying saucers so I guess you 1173 00:58:06,349 --> 00:58:04,680 know you could take something like that 1174 00:58:08,990 --> 00:58:06,359 or you could take the idea of crop 1175 00:58:11,030 --> 00:58:09,000 circles I think you touched on this in 1176 00:58:13,130 --> 00:58:11,040 the essay as well you know while they 1177 00:58:16,190 --> 00:58:13,140 might be man-made 1178 00:58:18,650 --> 00:58:16,200 um the the intelligence behind it or 1179 00:58:22,010 --> 00:58:18,660 whatever is kind of pulling the strings 1180 00:58:25,430 --> 00:58:22,020 to make that happen could be something 1181 00:58:26,870 --> 00:58:25,440 non-human could be some sort of external 1182 00:58:28,730 --> 00:58:26,880 force or 1183 00:58:30,770 --> 00:58:28,740 um done through Consciousness that's 1184 00:58:33,230 --> 00:58:30,780 creating these extremely elaborate 1185 00:58:35,270 --> 00:58:33,240 designs in the crops 1186 00:58:37,730 --> 00:58:35,280 um even to like you said in the essay to 1187 00:58:41,750 --> 00:58:37,740 the dismay of the actual crop owners but 1188 00:58:45,349 --> 00:58:41,760 but yeah kind of this this idea of you 1189 00:58:47,150 --> 00:58:45,359 know manifesting the phenomena in in 1190 00:58:49,069 --> 00:58:47,160 some ways um do you think there's 1191 00:58:56,569 --> 00:58:49,079 anything to that in terms of those kind 1192 00:59:01,490 --> 00:58:58,849 the somewhere in the skies podcast is 1193 00:59:03,589 --> 00:59:01,500 free to listen to every week but if you

more I keep thinking and this 1206 00:59:43,849 --> 00:59:40,200 is not something that 1207 00:59:46,250 --> 00:59:43,859 I'm the only one who thinks that way but 1208 00:59:55,190 --> 00:59:46,260 like 1209 00:59:56,329 --> 00:59:55,200 who believe in UFOs they hate the idea 1210 00:59:57,910 --> 00:59:56,339 of 1211 01:00:02,510 --> 00:59:57,920 you know 1212 01:00:05,150 --> 01:00:02,520

--> 01:00:08,640 undermines 1216 01:00:14,569 --> 01:00:12,000 the The credibility or the validity of 1217 01:00:16,190 --> 01:00:14,579 the UFO phenomenon and I underst I can 1218 01:00:17,930 --> 01:00:16,200 understand that but at the same time 1219 01:00:22,150 --> 01:00:17,940 nowadays 1220 01:00:24,650 --> 01:00:22,160 I I I suspect more and more that hoaxes 1221 01:00:26,690 --> 01:00:24,660 have a role to play 1222 01:00:31,010 --> 01:00:26,700 in all of these whether we like it or 1223 01:00:34,250 --> 01:00:31,020 not a complex very controversial and 1224 01:00:38,569 --> 01:00:34,260 very very difficult very very murky role 1225 01:00:41,150 --> 01:00:38,579 but a role nonetheless it's almost like 1226 01:00:44,329 --> 01:00:41,160 like UFO hoaxers are some kind of like 1227 01:00:47,630 --> 01:00:44,339 ufological placebo effect you know like 1228 01:00:50,690 --> 01:00:47,640 what happens if uh if a UFO hoax 1229 01:00:53,270 --> 01:00:50,700 actually manifests 1230 01:00:55,549 --> 01:00:53,280 uh true anomalous activity what happens 1231 01:00:59,030 --> 01:00:55,559 if I if someone 1232 01:01:02,410 --> 01:00:59,040 is driving and he sees something in the 1233 01:01:05,750 --> 01:01:02,420 sky he cannot explaining that he's a a 1234 01:01:08,390 --> 01:01:05,760 life-changing experience to them uh and 1235 01:01:10,789 --> 01:01:08,400 maybe you know 10 years from now they 1236 01:01:14,450 --> 01:01:10,799 real they realize oh it was just a drone 1237 01:01:15,349 --> 01:01:14,460 or it was just you know SpaceX rocket 1238 01:01:17,870 --> 01:01:15,359 launch 1239 01:01:20,390 --> 01:01:17,880 but nevertheless maybe you actually 1240 01:01:23,510 --> 01:01:20,400 trigger something in them you know opens 1241 01:01:25,130 --> 01:01:23,520 up something cracks open the cosmic egg 1242 01:01:28,849 --> 01:01:25,140 within them 1243 01:01:32,870 --> 01:01:28,859 to be open to the magic or to release 1244 01:01:36,349 --> 01:01:32,880 the magic within them you know so uh 1245 01:01:40,490 --> 01:01:36,359 the crop circles obviously hoaxes made 1246 01:01:42,829 --> 01:01:40,500 by by by people for whatever reason 1247 01:01:45,109 --> 01:01:42,839 but 1248 01:01:47,569 --> 01:01:45,119 I cannot deny that maybe people who who 1249 01:01:51,049 --> 01:01:47,579 have been in contact with crop circles 1250 01:01:54,490 --> 01:01:51,059 may have had a life-changing experiences 1251 01:01:59,650 --> 01:01:54,500 you know like incredible synchronicities 1252 01:02:02,809 --> 01:01:59,660 dreams uh Visions or even actual 1253 01:02:05,690 --> 01:02:02,819 manifestations of of of anomalous light 1254 01:02:08,510 --> 01:02:05,700 phenomena or time dilations 1255 01:02:11,809 --> 01:02:08,520 things that are common commonly reported 1256 01:02:14,930 --> 01:02:11,819 among crop circles and and crop circles 1257 01:02:17,450 --> 01:02:14,940 that someone you know deal with a plank 1258 01:02:21,230 --> 01:02:17,460 uh a few hours ago but nevertheless 1259 01:02:23,089 --> 01:02:21,240 actually creates creates the the magic 1260 01:02:25,849 --> 01:02:23,099 and and this is something that we have 1261 01:02:28,370 --> 01:02:25,859 to remember like even shamans 1262 01:02:31,569 --> 01:02:28,380 shamans are 1263 01:02:35,630 --> 01:02:31,579 professional tricksters you know like 1264 01:02:39,950 --> 01:02:35,640 anthropologists who went to see an 1265 01:02:43,490 --> 01:02:39,960 interview Maria Savina who was this uh 1266 01:02:46,789 --> 01:02:43,500 Masa Tech Shaman woman from Mexico who 1267 01:02:51,109 --> 01:02:46,799 lived in Oaxaca and who was the one who 1268 01:02:54,049 --> 01:02:51,119 showed the the American foreigners the 1269 01:02:56,270 --> 01:02:54,059 the thing about salocybin mushrooms you 1270 01:02:59,569 --> 01:02:56,280 know this is the thing that kick-started 1271 01:03:03,530 --> 01:02:59,579 the whole counterculture movement in the 1272 01:03:06,410 --> 01:03:03,540 1960s you know when when there was this 1273 01:03:10,970 --> 01:03:06,420 momentous article in Times magazine 1274 01:03:13,130 --> 01:03:10,980 about this this ritual sacred rituals 1275 01:03:16,190 --> 01:03:13,140 who were secret rituals you know because 1276 01:03:18,650 --> 01:03:16,200 this tradition was kept alive in Mexico 1277 01:03:21,289 --> 01:03:18,660 for hundreds of years away from the eyes 1278 01:03:24,049 --> 01:03:21,299 of the church otherwise you know the 1279 01:03:26,510 --> 01:03:24,059 Inquisition would have gone after you 1280 01:03:29,210 --> 01:03:26,520 know these practitioners but in the 1281 01:03:31,309 --> 01:03:29,220 1960s Maria Sabina said well you know I 1282 01:03:34,789 --> 01:03:31,319 had a vision of Jesus Christ who said 1283 01:03:37,069 --> 01:03:34,799 that time was right for foreigners or 1284 01:03:41,089 --> 01:03:37,079 for Outsiders to know about our sacred 1285 01:03:44,270 --> 01:03:41,099 rituals and this is like boom the 1286 01:03:47,930 --> 01:03:44,280 beginning of the new age the hippie 1287 01:03:49,970 --> 01:03:47,940 movement The Counter Culture you know uh 1288 01:03:52,309 --> 01:03:49,980 Timothy Leary 1289 01:03:54,589 --> 01:03:52,319 The Beatles we wouldn't have had the 1290 01:03:55,670 --> 01:03:54,599 Beatles if it wasn't for Maria Savina 1291 01:03:59,450 --> 01:03:55,680 it's just I'm saying you know Maria 1292 01:04:01,430 --> 01:03:59,460 zavina most influential Mexican woman in 1293 01:04:03,490 --> 01:04:01,440 the history of the world period but 1294 01:04:06,589 --> 01:04:03,500 getting back to 1295 01:04:08,870 --> 01:04:06,599 uh Maria Sabina you know anthropologists 1296 01:04:11,809 --> 01:04:08,880 went to to interview her and they 1297 01:04:15,349 --> 01:04:11,819 noticed how the she performed her her 1298 01:04:17,150 --> 01:04:15,359 rituals and and she they realized that 1299 01:04:19,370 --> 01:04:17,160 like any 1300 01:04:23,150 --> 01:04:19,380 shaman 1301 01:04:27,170 --> 01:04:23,160 she commonly used sleight of hand tricks 1302 01:04:29,030 --> 01:04:27,180 you know often among among uh her 1303 01:04:32,390 --> 01:04:29,040 audience you know like for example like 1304 01:04:33,250 --> 01:04:32,400 how to sheep put the candles on the on 1305 01:04:36,130 --> 01:04:33,260 the ground 1306 01:04:38,569 --> 01:04:36,140 in order to to 1307 01:04:40,670 --> 01:04:38,579 uh make them lose like she could 1308 01:04:44,170 --> 01:04:40,680 instantly put them uh in the ground 1309 01:04:47,510 --> 01:04:44,180 whereas ask another person to do it and 1310 01:04:49,849 --> 01:04:47,520 uh the candles weren't properly uh 1311 01:04:51,950 --> 01:04:49,859 prepared so they will fall and they 1312 01:04:53,809 --> 01:04:51,960 would it will show that oh Maria you 1313 01:04:56,089 --> 01:04:53,819 know has some kind of like Authority or 1314 01:05:00,650 --> 01:04:56,099 has some kind of power and that kind of 1315 01:05:05,030 --> 01:05:00,660 like uh suggestion is very important in 1316 01:05:06,309 --> 01:05:05,040 shamanic rituals in order for the the 1317 01:05:10,130 --> 01:05:06,319 patient 1318 01:05:13,789 --> 01:05:10,140 to getting this conducive state in this 1319 01:05:15,650 --> 01:05:13,799 right State of Mind in which they can 1320 01:05:17,510 --> 01:05:15,660 heal themselves because that's the thing 1321 01:05:20,089 --> 01:05:17,520 about Shamanism you know that's the 1322 01:05:22,549 --> 01:05:20,099 thing about shamanistic ritual practices 1323 01:05:24,890 --> 01:05:22,559 the shaman is not 1324 01:05:27,170 --> 01:05:24,900 killing the person the person is healing 1325 01:05:31,430 --> 01:05:27,180 themselves by allowing themselves to 1326 01:05:33,829 --> 01:05:31,440 enter into this mind space and obviously 1327 01:05:37,809 --> 01:05:33,839 the question is will we be able to 1328 01:05:40,730 --> 01:05:37,819 actually do that do the same if we 1329 01:05:45,049 --> 01:05:40,740 didn't need to trick ourselves into 1330 01:05:47,089 --> 01:05:45,059 using rituals and things and just using 1331 01:05:50,030 --> 01:05:47,099 the power of our minds well that's the 1332 01:05:51,890 --> 01:05:50,040 basics of chaos magic that became so 1333 01:05:54,410 --> 01:05:51,900 predominant in the 80s you know when 1334 01:05:56,390 --> 01:05:54,420 when all these people in The Counter 1335 01:05:59,270 --> 01:05:56,400 Culture they say well you know all these 1336 01:06:01,130 --> 01:05:59,280 stupid rituals in in traditional magic 1337 01:06:03,650 --> 01:06:01,140 let's just get rid of that and let's 1338 01:06:05,510 --> 01:06:03,660 just you know come up with our own uh 1339 01:06:08,870 --> 01:06:05,520 practice and our own ways because at the 1340 01:06:10,970 --> 01:06:08,880 end of the day it's it's only here that 1341 01:06:14,270 --> 01:06:10,980 that the magic happens is not in the in 1342 01:06:17,150 --> 01:06:14,280 the in the in the wand or in the robes 1343 01:06:19,849 --> 01:06:17,160 or in the candles or in the in the in 1344 01:06:21,770 --> 01:06:19,859 the incantations that that are said in 1345 01:06:24,829 --> 01:06:21,780 Latin or a Nokia or whatever you know 1346 01:06:27,650 --> 01:06:24,839 you can say that you can use uh you know 1347 01:06:30,589 --> 01:06:27,660 a Beatles song you know as a magic 1348 01:06:32,049 --> 01:06:30,599 incantation and if you believe in it it 1349 01:06:36,829 --> 01:06:32,059 works the same 1350 01:06:40,069 --> 01:06:36,839 uh so yeah I don't know I think that uh 1351 01:06:44,210 --> 01:06:40,079 getting back to hoses uh 1352 01:06:47,630 --> 01:06:44,220 one of my favorite cases uh happened in 1353 01:06:50,510 --> 01:06:47,640 in the 1960s through the 1970s and 80s 1354 01:06:54,109 --> 01:06:50,520 in countries like Spain and Latin 1355 01:06:55,970 --> 01:06:54,119 America is the the famous UMO affair 1356 01:07:02,809 --> 01:06:55,980 uh 1357 01:07:05,870 --> 01:07:02,819 a lot of researchers and and reporters 1358 01:07:08,270 --> 01:07:05,880 started to get to get in the mail all 1359 01:07:11,410 --> 01:07:08,280 these type type written letters 1360 01:07:13,670 --> 01:07:11,420 that were allegedly sent by 1361 01:07:15,470 --> 01:07:13,680 extraterrestrial visitors coming from 1362 01:07:18,410 --> 01:07:15,480 the planet UMO 1363 01:07:21,049 --> 01:07:18,420 and giving a lot of really detailed 1364 01:07:24,230 --> 01:07:21,059 scientifically sounding explanations 1365 01:07:27,170 --> 01:07:24,240 about their technology their Homeworld 1366 01:07:29,569 --> 01:07:27,180 their Customs whatever and a lot of 1367 01:07:33,230 --> 01:07:29,579 people

01:07:38,780 people believe in in the UMO thing 1371 01:07:44,450 --> 01:07:42,059 eventually investigated even though he 1372 01:07:47,809 --> 01:07:44,460 never believed it he thought it was some 1373 01:07:52,250 --> 01:07:47,819 kind of like uh maybe counter spinach or 1374 01:07:55,069 --> 01:07:52,260 psyop experiment anyway in the 1990s uh 1375 01:07:58,730 --> 01:07:55,079 or early 2000s it was revealed but it 1376 01:08:02,750 --> 01:07:58,740 was you know that the letters were 1377 01:08:06,049 --> 01:08:02,760 written by by these uh Spanish guy whose 1378 01:08:09,589 -->

1412 01:09:42,410 --> 01:09:39,920 that 1413 01:09:45,590 --> 01:09:42,420 constantly and I don't know the answer 1414 01:09:48,410 --> 01:09:45,600 but I suspect that you know the answer 1415 01:09:51,229 --> 01:09:48,420 is yes that even if if it's not 1416 01:09:53,390 --> 01:09:51,239 something that that it is totally 1417 01:09:54,890 --> 01:09:53,400 manifested by the human mind it's like 1418 01:09:57,729 --> 01:09:54,900 some kind of like egg report or 1419 01:10:00,770 --> 01:09:57,739 something like a tulpa collective Tupa 1420 01:10:02,990 --> 01:10:00,780 maybe the UFO phenomenon will 1421 01:10:06,050 --> 01:10:03,000 is still use 1422 01:10:07,689 --> 01:10:06,060 that energy from our minds in order to 1423 01:10:10,550 --> 01:10:07,699 kind of like 1424 01:10:12,890 --> 01:10:10,560 disguises itself with it 1425 01:10:15,410 --> 01:10:12,900 in a way like well this is what you want 1426 01:10:19,070 --> 01:10:15,420 to see for some reason you know so let's 1427 01:10:21,169 --> 01:10:19,080 use this this these guys this this these 1428 01:10:24,110 --> 01:10:21,179 research this Avatar in order to 1429 01:10:26,450 --> 01:10:24,120 interact with you uh so you know you 1430 01:10:28,370 --> 01:10:26,460 don't uh you don't get uh too 1431 01:10:30,169 --> 01:10:28,380 overwhelmed by our presence you know 1432 01:10:33,169 --> 01:10:30,179 Turners McKenna 1433 01:10:36,110 --> 01:10:33,179 used to say a lot that that Europe over 1434 01:10:39,050 --> 01:10:36,120 nominal was nothing but uh the mushrooms 1435 01:10:41,410 --> 01:10:39,060 trying to contact us and the mushrooms 1436 01:10:44,390 --> 01:10:41,420 using the the the 1437 01:10:47,330 --> 01:10:44,400 disguise of an alien invasion 1438 01:10:49,310 --> 01:10:47,340 so as to not to alarm us too much you 1439 01:10:51,470 --> 01:10:49,320 know so 1440 01:10:54,050 --> 01:10:51,480 obviously all these things that we're 1441 01:10:56,330 --> 01:10:54,060 saying are contradictory you know but 1442 01:10:58,669 --> 01:10:56,340 they're just a speculation they're just 1443 01:11:01,510 --> 01:10:58,679 thought experiments but it's the kind of 1444 01:11:04,610 --> 01:11:01,520 stuff that I prefer to think about 1445 01:11:07,090 --> 01:11:04,620 rather than saying well you know UFOs 1446 01:11:09,430 --> 01:11:07,100 are either itchy craft 1447 01:11:12,530 --> 01:11:09,440 or military 1448 01:11:15,250 --> 01:11:12,540 Spivey planes or there are just you know 1449 01:11:18,229 --> 01:11:15,260 total hoaxes and our total you know 1450 01:11:19,910 --> 01:11:18,239 Fabrications and delusions that's to me 1451 01:11:23,390 --> 01:11:19,920 that's too binary 1452 01:11:24,250 --> 01:11:23,400 obviously you know no one denies that 1453 01:11:27,229 --> 01:11:24,260 the the 1454 01:11:29,990 --> 01:11:27,239 United States and other governments have 1455 01:11:34,070 --> 01:11:30,000 uh prototypes that they're not telling 1456 01:11:37,990 --> 01:11:34,080 us but I've always doubted that such 1457 01:11:41,930 --> 01:11:38,000 prototypes will be as as bad Advance 1458 01:11:44,649 --> 01:11:41,940 then that they would you know look 1459 01:11:48,530 --> 01:11:44,659 and and display the same capabilities 1460 01:11:53,510 --> 01:11:48,540 that are have been reported in UFO cases 1461 01:11:57,550 --> 01:11:53,520 since the 1940s since the 1950s or even 1462 01:12:01,910 --> 01:11:57,560 before the the beginning of the modern 1463 01:12:04,010 --> 01:12:01,920 UFO era you know if you if you take a 1464 01:12:07,490 --> 01:12:04,020 look at wonders in the sky written by 1465 01:12:09,649 --> 01:12:07,500 Chris holbeck and Andole you know all 1466 01:12:12,830 --> 01:12:09,659 these stories about you know the the 1467 01:12:16,250 --> 01:12:12,840 airship in the 1990s in the United 1468 01:12:18,649 --> 01:12:16,260 States or or you know the shields in the 1469 01:12:22,070 --> 01:12:18,659 sky that were seen by the raw mass or by 1470 01:12:23,990 --> 01:12:22,080 the Persians or glowing objects that 1471 01:12:27,410 --> 01:12:24,000 were you know coming out of the oceans 1472 01:12:30,470 --> 01:12:27,420 that were seen by by Merchant ships in 1473 01:12:32,209 --> 01:12:30,480 the 18th century you know obviously 1474 01:12:34,510 --> 01:12:32,219 that's that's not a that's not a U.S 1475 01:12:38,870 --> 01:12:34,520 prototype you know it's something else 1476 01:12:41,390 --> 01:12:38,880 yeah kind of the the absurdist nature or 1477 01:12:42,290 --> 01:12:41,400 the Ridiculousness I think of a lot of 1478 01:12:45,770 --> 01:12:42,300 these things 1479 01:12:50,570 --> 01:12:45,780 two really begs the question of um yeah 1480 01:12:56,810 --> 01:12:53,689 outside external thing or or is it all 1481 01:13:00,410 --> 01:12:56,820 being manifested through manipulation or 1482 01:13:02,450 --> 01:13:00,420 or deception you know um the more you're 1483 01:13:04,729 --> 01:13:02,460 you were talking about like the role of 1484 01:13:07,669 --> 01:13:04,739 a shaman the more I'm thinking like oh 1485 01:13:11,750 --> 01:13:07,679 my God is is Miguel saying that Stephen 1486 01:13:14,290 --> 01:13:11,760 Greer is a shaman this guy who you know 1487 01:13:19,130 --> 01:13:14,300 predicates his entire 1488 01:13:20,390 --> 01:13:19,140 career on ce5 and is it real or it or is 1489 01:13:29,169 --> 01:13:20,400 it 1490 01:13:35,630 --> 01:13:29,179 blowing my mind man this idea of like 1491 01:13:38,510 --> 01:13:35,640 yeah could could our our crew yeah 1492 01:13:40,550 --> 01:13:38,520 right and and getting back to your 1493 01:13:43,610 --> 01:13:40,560 career you know there are a lot of 1494 01:13:45,890 --> 01:13:43,620 shamans in the Amazon jungles who are 1495 01:13:48,350 --> 01:13:45,900 also [\h__\h] you know who are also 1496 01:13:50,390 --> 01:13:48,360 seeking to take advantage of you yeah 1497 01:13:53,510 --> 01:13:50,400 and and steal your money and maybe even 1498 01:13:55,669 --> 01:13:53,520 kill you if it suits their needs you 1499 01:13:57,709 --> 01:13:55,679 know they're there there are people who 1500 01:13:59,890 --> 01:13:57,719 use their powers for good and there are 1501 01:14:02,810 --> 01:13:59,900 people who use their powers for personal 1502 01:14:05,390 --> 01:14:02,820 personal gain and I'm not saying you 1503 01:14:09,530 --> 01:14:05,400 know Greer is doing that but uh I'll 1504 01:14:11,689 --> 01:14:09,540 I'll I'll leave that for everyone to to 1505 01:14:15,890 --> 01:14:11,699 to answer that 1506 01:14:19,189 --> 01:14:15,900 uh but obviously obviously uh 1507 01:14:24,189 --> 01:14:19,199 I've I've discussed this idea with 1508 01:14:26,750 --> 01:14:24,199 friends when we discussed uh C5 Type of 1509 01:14:29,390 --> 01:14:26,760 protocols and even people who can't 1510 01:14:32,209 --> 01:14:29,400 stand Stephen Greer they will go and 1511 01:14:32,990 --> 01:14:32,219 admit well yeah but the protocols do 1512 01:14:35,149 --> 01:14:33,000 work 1513 01:14:37,010 --> 01:14:35,159 you know and you do you use them 1514 01:14:38,810 --> 01:14:37,020 correctly and they use them on the right 1515 01:14:41,390 --> 01:14:38,820 set and setting 1516 01:14:44,750 --> 01:14:41,400 I've also you know written and 1517 01:14:47,450 --> 01:14:44,760 speculated about how how similar are the 1518 01:14:49,910 --> 01:14:47,460 UFO experience to psychedelic experience 1519 01:14:52,550 --> 01:14:49,920 you know it's a whole other kind of like 1520 01:14:55,790 --> 01:14:52,560 I I wonder should there be a proper set 1521 01:14:58,490 --> 01:14:55,800 and setting for UFO events so you you 1522 01:15:01,130 --> 01:14:58,500 are not you don't end up with a bad trip 1523 01:15:03,649 --> 01:15:01,140 like what happens in Skinwalker Ranch 1524 01:15:06,229 --> 01:15:03,659 you know maybe they they haven't figured 1525 01:15:09,229 --> 01:15:06,239 out the proper certain setting there but 1526 01:15:11,030 --> 01:15:09,239 yeah if you if you use these types of uh 1527 01:15:12,830 --> 01:15:11,040 protocols and they weren't invented by 1528 01:15:16,250 --> 01:15:12,840 Greer you know they would have been used 1529 01:15:21,010 --> 01:15:16,260 for hundreds of years by by magicians 1530 01:15:25,090 --> 01:15:21,020 and by mystery schools in order to 1531 01:15:27,950 --> 01:15:25,100 obtain these you know contact 1532 01:15:30,470 --> 01:15:27,960 with what is is the question is it 1533 01:15:33,470 --> 01:15:30,480 contract with contact with our higher 1534 01:15:35,169 --> 01:15:33,480 self with with an aspect of our soul or 1535 01:15:38,390 --> 01:15:35,179 is it contact with actual outside 1536 01:15:40,850 --> 01:15:38,400 intelligences you know that are using 1537 01:15:44,570 --> 01:15:40,860 our minds as some kind of like interface 1538 01:15:48,590 --> 01:15:44,580 nonetheless you know like uh some other 1539 01:15:50,350 --> 01:15:48,600 aspect of our imagination so now you 1540 01:15:52,630 --> 01:15:50,360 know we're talking about imaginal 1541 01:15:55,330 --> 01:15:52,640 experiences you know 1542 01:15:58,850 --> 01:15:55,340 experiences that are colored by our 1543 01:15:59,930 --> 01:15:58,860 expectations are colored by our cultural 1544 01:16:02,209 --> 01:15:59,940 baggage 1545 01:16:06,050 --> 01:16:02,219 by our 1546 01:16:09,229 --> 01:16:06,060 knowledge or power sci-fi lore 1547 01:16:11,570 --> 01:16:09,239 and it is somehow you know 1548 01:16:15,950 --> 01:16:11,580 covered in that patina 1549 01:16:18,890 --> 01:16:15,960 of you know mental imagery in order to 1550 01:16:21,729 --> 01:16:18,900 interact with us otherwise if if we 1551 01:16:24,770 --> 01:16:21,739 didn't have that it might be totally 1552 01:16:26,510 --> 01:16:24,780 incomprehensible you know right 1553 01:16:30,649 --> 01:16:26,520 could be the only way in which to 1554 01:16:32,870 --> 01:16:30,659 communicate as well yeah good good point 1555 01:16:33,890 --> 01:16:32,880 Um well hey man I kind of want to I want 1556 01:16:35,750 --> 01:16:33,900 to wrap up 1557 01:16:37,250 --> 01:16:35,760 um our section here on Anarchy in the 1558 01:16:40,430 --> 01:16:37,260 UFO because I've got some awesome 1559 01:16:43,669 --> 01:16:40,440 listener questions that came in for you 1560 01:16:47,330 --> 01:16:43,679 um and the the last one I want to kind 1561 01:16:50,390 --> 01:16:47,340 of cover for you personally uh here is 1562 01:16:52,910 --> 01:16:50,400 this quote from the essay the cliched 1563 01:16:55,370 --> 01:16:52,920 saucer on the White House lawn take me 1564 01:16:58,250 --> 01:16:55,380 to your leader scenario clearly holds no 1565 01:17:01,250 --> 01:16:58,260 appeal for the UFO intelligence instead 1566 01:17:03,250 --> 01:17:01,260 they give cardboard tasting pancakes to 1567 01:17:05,630 --> 01:17:03,260 a lonely chicken farmer in Wisconsin 1568 01:17:07,790 --> 01:17:05,640 instead of gathering genetic samples 1569 01:17:10,250 --> 01:17:07,800 from the most prominent members of our 1570 01:17:13,130 --> 01:17:10,260 species such as Albert Einstein or 1571 01:17:16,189 --> 01:17:13,140 Stephen Hawking the space vegetarians 1572 01:17:19,130 --> 01:17:16,199 rely on medieval methods to conduct 1573 01:17:21,169 --> 01:17:19,140 husbandry with Brazilian Farmers while 1574 01:17:23,750 --> 01:17:21,179 collecting sperm and OVA from post 1575 01:17:27,649 --> 01:17:23,760 office employees Christian Housewives 1576 01:17:29,930 --> 01:17:27,659 and Horn novelists that was probably my 1577 01:17:33,050 --> 01:17:29,940 favorite paragraph in the whole essay 1578 01:17:34,790 --> 01:17:33,060 because it speaks volumes of everyone 1579 01:17:38,149 --> 01:17:34,800 wants to know 1580 01:17:40,010 --> 01:17:38,159 why me you know I I speak to hundreds 1581 01:17:42,709 --> 01:17:40,020 and hundreds of experiencers and 1582 01:17:44,870 --> 01:17:42,719 Witnesses and that's their first 1583 01:17:47,570 --> 01:17:44,880 question like why why was I chosen like 1584 01:17:49,729 --> 01:17:47,580 I I don't believe in this stuff but it 1585 01:17:52,070 --> 01:17:49,739 just fell into my lap 1586 01:17:56,870 --> 01:17:52,080 um or you know why don't they go show 1587 01:17:58,910 --> 01:17:56,880 themselves to uh Avi Loeb or or or you 1588 01:18:01,729 --> 01:17:58,920 know all of these theoretical physicists 1589 01:18:04,130 --> 01:18:01,739 who push against the concept of this 1590 01:18:06,709 --> 01:18:04,140 stuff uh no they go to a lonely chicken 1591 01:18:09,110 --> 01:18:06,719 farmer and um give them some some 1592 01:18:11,510 --> 01:18:09,120 goddamn pancakes why do you think that 1593 01:18:14,090 --> 01:18:11,520 is why do you think uh the phenomena 1594 01:18:16,070 --> 01:18:14,100 chooses these individuals or do they 1595 01:18:18,770 --> 01:18:16,080 choose them you know going back to 1596 01:18:19,970 --> 01:18:18,780 Greg's whole co-creation hypothesis as 1597 01:18:26,570 --> 01:18:19,980 well 1598 01:18:29,330 --> 01:18:26,580 I wrote the essay I was very 1599 01:18:32,590 --> 01:18:29,340 very big on the idea that what was 1600 01:18:36,530 --> 01:18:32,600 happening here is some kind of uh 1601 01:18:39,709 --> 01:18:36,540 grassroot type of contact like 1602 01:18:43,850 --> 01:18:39,719 the best and most are most efficient way 1603 01:18:47,030 --> 01:18:43,860 to change a culture is not from the top 1604 01:18:49,430 --> 01:18:47,040 down you know like trickle down uh 1605 01:18:51,709 --> 01:18:49,440 trickle down doesn't work for anything 1606 01:18:54,110 --> 01:18:51,719 or even economics you know that's that's 1607 01:18:55,970 --> 01:18:54,120 why we're in the mess where he right now 1608 01:18:58,130 --> 01:18:55,980 in our world because of this believing 1609 01:19:01,550 --> 01:18:58,140 triple down economics no the real 1610 01:19:04,669 --> 01:19:01,560 changes that the last the the long 1611 01:19:08,110 --> 01:19:04,679 lasting changes happen from the bottom 1612 01:19:11,229 --> 01:19:08,120 up if it happened with Christianity 1613 01:19:15,169 --> 01:19:11,239 Christianity as soon as McKenna also 1614 01:19:17,930 --> 01:19:15,179 famously said in his lectures was a 1615 01:19:20,450 --> 01:19:17,940 religion that appended the the most 1616 01:19:23,750 --> 01:19:20,460 powerful Empire in the world the Roman 1617 01:19:24,910 --> 01:19:23,760 Empire because it captivated a stable 1618 01:19:29,530 --> 01:19:24,920 voice 1619 01:19:34,310 --> 01:19:29,540 and you know and and 1620 01:19:36,950 --> 01:19:34,320 and The Peasants and you know the the 1621 01:19:39,470 --> 01:19:36,960 workers you know the the people at the 1622 01:19:43,669 --> 01:19:39,480 at the bottom of the of the societal 1623 01:19:44,530 --> 01:19:43,679 status were the ones first captivated by 1624 01:19:48,350 --> 01:19:44,540 by 1625 01:19:50,930 --> 01:19:48,360 the appeal of Christianity and 1626 01:19:53,090 --> 01:19:50,940 uh it it took a while obviously it took 1627 01:19:55,010 --> 01:19:53,100 hundreds of years but at the end uh 1628 01:19:58,310 --> 01:19:55,020 Christianity became the official 1629 01:20:00,850 --> 01:19:58,320 religion of the Roman Empire and you can 1630 01:20:04,970 --> 01:20:00,860 see a parallel with with 1631 01:20:08,990 --> 01:20:04,980 UFOs and the contact movement in the 1632 01:20:13,490 --> 01:20:09,000 1950s you know like the contactees were 1633 01:20:15,410 --> 01:20:13,500 Housewives were uh people like George 1634 01:20:17,450 --> 01:20:15,420 adamski George adamski was flipping 1635 01:20:19,669 --> 01:20:17,460 burgers you know in some joint near 1636 01:20:22,130 --> 01:20:19,679 Palomar Observatory 1637 01:20:24,350 --> 01:20:22,140 and he called himself a professor in in 1638 01:20:27,110 --> 01:20:24,360 philosophy but that was just a made-up 1639 01:20:29,450 --> 01:20:27,120 title he made for himself in order to 1640 01:20:31,430 --> 01:20:29,460 sound more grandiloquent and to be taken 1641 01:20:34,370 --> 01:20:31,440 seriously but nevertheless you know I 1642 01:20:35,470 --> 01:20:34,380 mean what I love about the contact team 1643 01:20:38,330 --> 01:20:35,480 movement 1644 01:20:40,130 --> 01:20:38,340 which I see as a precursor to the New 1645 01:20:43,490 --> 01:20:40,140 Age movement that happened 20 years 1646 01:20:46,250 --> 01:20:43,500 later is that you it was like you know 1647 01:20:49,070 --> 01:20:46,260 all these common folk who claiming all 1648 01:20:51,709 --> 01:20:49,080 these experiences with the other and 1649 01:20:55,189 --> 01:20:51,719 they were trying to transform Society 1650 01:20:56,990 --> 01:20:55,199 you know from the from the bottom up 1651 01:20:59,990 --> 01:20:57,000 like saying yeah well we need to take 1652 01:21:02,810 --> 01:21:00,000 care of better care of our planet we 1653 01:21:05,750 --> 01:21:02,820 need to stop uh spending so much energy 1654 01:21:10,010 --> 01:21:05,760 in in war we need to stop you know 1655 01:21:12,890 --> 01:21:10,020 making nuclear weapons uh we need to 1656 01:21:14,450 --> 01:21:12,900 change our economic system you know back 1657 01:21:17,149 --> 01:21:14,460 in those days there were there were all 1658 01:21:20,209 --> 01:21:17,159 these economic ideas coming from people 1659 01:21:22,689 --> 01:21:20,219 like Gabriel green and all that trend to 1660 01:21:27,169 --> 01:21:22,699 come up with better solutions to economy 1661 01:21:29,570 --> 01:21:27,179 than capitalism or socialism uh 1662 01:21:33,410 --> 01:21:29,580 and that is and that is something that 1663 01:21:36,290 --> 01:21:33,420 that fascinated me how even though I no 1664 01:21:39,590 --> 01:21:36,300 longer believe that the UFO phenomenon 1665 01:21:42,050 --> 01:21:39,600 doesn't happen to also to people on the 1666 01:21:45,110 --> 01:21:42,060 top of the societal pyramid how could it 1667 01:21:47,330 --> 01:21:45,120 you know it's it's so egalitarian and 1668 01:21:49,430 --> 01:21:47,340 obviously if there are people in the 1669 01:21:51,530 --> 01:21:49,440 government that are interested in the 1670 01:21:54,890 --> 01:21:51,540 UFO phenomenon is because they have had 1671 01:21:57,110 --> 01:21:54,900 experiences of their own you know uh 1672 01:22:01,610 --> 01:21:57,120 that the thing is that they are better 1673 01:22:04,490 --> 01:22:01,620 at hiding them or not not being you know 1674 01:22:06,350 --> 01:22:04,500 open about them same way with uh you 1675 01:22:09,649 --> 01:22:06,360 know psychologic experiences you know 1676 01:22:12,110 --> 01:22:09,659 like you know only hippies uh are 1677 01:22:15,350 --> 01:22:12,120 comfortable talking about you know their 1678 01:22:17,870 --> 01:22:15,360 LSD trips instead of you know the the 1679 01:22:19,490 --> 01:22:17,880 high paying uh stock investor in Wall 1680 01:22:21,770 --> 01:22:19,500 Street you know because the stock 1681 01:22:23,770 --> 01:22:21,780 investor says that it knows that if he 1682 01:22:26,510 --> 01:22:23,780 talks about that he'll be out of his job 1683 01:22:28,490 --> 01:22:26,520 but nevertheless you know the people who 1684 01:22:31,729 --> 01:22:28,500 talked about it this and the people who 1685 01:22:34,430 --> 01:22:31,739 who create an interest are the ones that 1686 01:22:35,990 --> 01:22:34,440 are that are changing the culture and 1687 01:22:38,750 --> 01:22:36,000 our culture 1688 01:22:41,330 --> 01:22:38,760 if if we analyze it has changed 1689 01:22:43,910 --> 01:22:41,340 dramatically in the last you know 50 1690 01:22:46,130 --> 01:22:43,920 years it looks like a long time to us 1691 01:22:48,770 --> 01:22:46,140 obviously especially to people who are 1692 01:22:50,810 --> 01:22:48,780 waiting for disclosure to happen like 1693 01:22:54,169 --> 01:22:50,820 next month you know they've been waiting 1694 01:22:58,570 --> 01:22:54,179 for disclosure since 2017. you know and 1695 01:23:02,510 --> 01:22:58,580 they all grow the gray beers like ours 1696 01:23:04,669 --> 01:23:02,520 is nothing it does happen it's going 1697 01:23:07,850 --> 01:23:04,679 it's it's this is a marathon you know 1698 01:23:10,910 --> 01:23:07,860 this is not a 100 meter race you know 1699 01:23:15,410 --> 01:23:10,920 take a breather you know keep your pace 1700 01:23:19,810 --> 01:23:15,420 uh but it is slowly changing you know I 1701 01:23:22,610 --> 01:23:19,820 I think it's undeniable you know like uh 1702 01:23:25,850 --> 01:23:22,620 nowadays everybody knows what a UFO is 1703 01:23:28,550 --> 01:23:25,860 you know understand the acronym there's 1704 01:23:31,729 --> 01:23:28,560 not a country in the world that doesn't 1705 01:23:34,729 --> 01:23:31,739 understand the the that those you three 1706 01:23:38,750 --> 01:23:34,739 letters you know signify some kind of 1707 01:23:43,610 --> 01:23:38,760 like alien presence and and everybody 1708 01:23:47,450 --> 01:23:43,620 now is open to the idea of of Be Be Live 1709 01:23:51,590 --> 01:23:47,460 being outside you know the planet 1710 01:23:54,410 --> 01:23:51,600 and nowadays we are seeing in our 1711 01:23:58,189 --> 01:23:54,420 culture in our science fiction we are 1712 01:24:01,130 --> 01:23:58,199 seeing uh the eruption of these other 1713 01:24:03,890 --> 01:24:01,140 Noble ideas the idea of the Multiverse 1714 01:24:06,470 --> 01:24:03,900 the Multiverse is getting more and more 1715 01:24:08,810 --> 01:24:06,480 predominant in sci-fi culture you know 1716 01:24:11,689 --> 01:24:08,820 the spider verse 1717 01:24:14,229 --> 01:24:11,699 everything anywhere all at once 1718 01:24:18,110 --> 01:24:14,239 so many other movies in 1719 01:24:20,209 --> 01:24:18,120 the quantumania in like in like the idea 1720 01:24:22,250 --> 01:24:20,219 that oh yeah there's all these other 1721 01:24:23,750 --> 01:24:22,260 worlds and they're all an infinite 1722 01:24:25,189 --> 01:24:23,760 versions of you 1723 01:24:26,870 --> 01:24:25,199 out there 1724 01:24:29,030 --> 01:24:26,880 uh 1725 01:24:32,030 --> 01:24:29,040 so these things 1726 01:24:34,430 --> 01:24:32,040 slowly but surely change the culture you 1727 01:24:35,990 --> 01:24:34,440 know even even if you don't and this is 1728 01:24:38,570 --> 01:24:36,000 something that I think I even wrote in 1729 01:24:41,810 --> 01:24:38,580 the in the essay even if you think that 1730 01:24:44,450 --> 01:24:41,820 UFOs are total baloney that are totally 1731 01:24:46,850 --> 01:24:44,460 fictitious there's no denying that UFOs 1732 01:24:50,750 --> 01:24:46,860 have a huge influence 1733 01:24:55,910 --> 01:24:50,760 on on our culture from the point of view 1734 01:24:58,970 --> 01:24:55,920 of of only from a meme standpoint you 1735 01:25:02,810 --> 01:24:58,980 know the idea of the little flying 1736 01:25:04,490 --> 01:25:02,820 saucer like uh sucking the cow with a 1737 01:25:06,649 --> 01:25:04,500 tractor vein you know it's something 1738 01:25:10,250 --> 01:25:06,659 that people you don't need to explain 1739 01:25:13,669 --> 01:25:10,260 that that drawing to to someone 1740 01:25:16,070 --> 01:25:13,679 in in in in passing on the street maybe 1741 01:25:20,330 --> 01:25:16,080 500 years from now it will be that's 1742 01:25:23,209 --> 01:25:20,340 inscrutable as a as a as a painting in 1743 01:25:26,689 --> 01:25:23,219 in a medieval in a medieval painting or 1744 01:25:28,250 --> 01:25:26,699 maybe you know 15 000 years from now you 1745 01:25:30,590 --> 01:25:28,260 will see that and it will be as 1746 01:25:33,830 --> 01:25:30,600 difficult to understand as a cave 1747 01:25:37,310 --> 01:25:33,840 painting you know but this is in in our 1748 01:25:39,950 --> 01:25:37,320 culture right now UFOs are taking more 1749 01:25:42,709 --> 01:25:39,960 and more a predominant uh a very center 1750 01:25:45,470 --> 01:25:42,719 role and it's fascinating you know to 1751 01:25:47,390 --> 01:25:45,480 see where will that lead us maybe we'll 1752 01:25:50,709 --> 01:25:47,400 fizzle out you know maybe with the 1753 01:25:53,750 --> 01:25:50,719 interest we will start to wane or maybe 1754 01:25:56,410 --> 01:25:53,760 things will start to ramp up and I'm I'm 1755 01:25:59,930 --> 01:25:56,420 waiting to see you know when the next 1756 01:26:02,709 --> 01:25:59,940 wave of view of activity will start that 1757 01:26:06,070 --> 01:26:02,719 that's something that that is 1758 01:26:09,790 --> 01:26:06,080 strangely lacking nowadays I was 1759 01:26:15,830 --> 01:26:13,790 uh New York New York article broke I was 1760 01:26:19,310 --> 01:26:15,840 thinking well we will that happen will 1761 01:26:21,850 --> 01:26:19,320 this have an effect on on UFO reports I 1762 01:26:24,890 --> 01:26:21,860 guess it did in in among the military 1763 01:26:28,070 --> 01:26:24,900 right and among civilian Pilots 1764 01:26:30,590 --> 01:26:28,080 definitely they are they having uh are 1765 01:26:33,050 --> 01:26:30,600 they are less afraid to report that they 1766 01:26:34,729 --> 01:26:33,060 saw something weird in the sky that may 1767 01:26:36,890 --> 01:26:34,739 or may not be truly anomalous some 1768 01:26:39,950 --> 01:26:36,900 people say Well they're just say seeing 1769 01:26:42,410 --> 01:26:39,960 the startling satellites up there Beyond 1770 01:26:44,570 --> 01:26:42,420 above their or their planes or maybe 1771 01:26:46,270 --> 01:26:44,580 this is something truly anomalous we 1772 01:26:49,669 --> 01:26:46,280 don't know but it's a good thing that 1773 01:26:52,010 --> 01:26:49,679 the the stigma in those regards is 1774 01:26:55,129 --> 01:26:52,020 starting to lift but at the same time I 1775 01:26:59,209 --> 01:26:55,139 want to see like everyday people also 1776 01:27:00,229 --> 01:26:59,219 reporting uh more UFO sightings problem 1777 01:27:02,689 --> 01:27:00,239 is 1778 01:27:04,850 --> 01:27:02,699 who are they going to report it to are 1779 01:27:07,070 --> 01:27:04,860 they going to report it to to the Stars 1780 01:27:09,590 --> 01:27:07,080 stormed alone wanted you know he wanted 1781 01:27:13,070 --> 01:27:09,600 to create this app that will be like the 1782 01:27:16,610 --> 01:27:13,080 the go-to uh thing to report your 1783 01:27:18,290 --> 01:27:16,620 sighting and to tell them data mind all 1784 01:27:20,330 --> 01:27:18,300 that information you know obviously for 1785 01:27:22,910 --> 01:27:20,340 their benefit you know maybe they wanted 1786 01:27:25,430 --> 01:27:22,920 to create some kind of like uh UFO 1787 01:27:28,370 --> 01:27:25,440 version of chat GPT you know chap GPT 1788 01:27:31,850 --> 01:27:28,380 and all this AI systems that are you 1789 01:27:34,729 --> 01:27:31,860 know funneling all these online 1790 01:27:36,890 --> 01:27:34,739 information you know to train the 1791 01:27:38,990 --> 01:27:36,900 algorithm and and to make it smarter and 1792 01:27:40,850 --> 01:27:39,000 smarter maybe maybe some of the one 1793 01:27:43,129 --> 01:27:40,860 wanted to make the same thing and 1794 01:27:45,050 --> 01:27:43,139 predict like the next year of a wave 1795 01:27:48,590 --> 01:27:45,060 using that I don't know I'm speculating 1796 01:27:50,390 --> 01:27:48,600 here but yeah nevertheless getting back 1797 01:27:53,870 --> 01:27:50,400 to my idea 1798 01:27:56,890 --> 01:27:53,880 I don't see I don't see a flurry of UFO 1799 01:28:00,169 --> 01:27:56,900 activity reported by everyday people 1800 01:28:01,970 --> 01:28:00,179 nowadays and that is that is interesting 1801 01:28:04,370 --> 01:28:01,980 it's intriguing to me I don't know why 1802 01:28:06,830 --> 01:28:04,380 why maybe people are too preoccupied 1803 01:28:09,290 --> 01:28:06,840 with other stuff we had the pandemic and 1804 01:28:12,530 --> 01:28:09,300 people were inside their homes you know 1805 01:28:17,570 --> 01:28:12,540 most of the time uh and people now are 1806 01:28:20,209 --> 01:28:17,580 are uh doing other stuff but I want to 1807 01:28:21,830 --> 01:28:20,219 see when the next UFO way will happen 1808 01:28:25,790 --> 01:28:21,840 where 1809 01:28:30,050 --> 01:28:25,800 and and how will that you know 1810 01:28:32,810 --> 01:28:30,060 affect the the the current momentum that 1811 01:28:36,770 --> 01:28:32,820 we're having uh culturally 1812 01:28:39,410 --> 01:28:36,780 yeah absolutely man well it's happening 1813 01:28:42,590 --> 01:28:39,420 right now come on Miguel in the United 1814 01:28:45,550 --> 01:28:42,600 States in Canada it's happening the 1815 01:28:50,090 --> 01:28:45,560 balloons they're invading 1816 01:28:51,950 --> 01:28:50,100 no I I'm with you man I I I and that was 1817 01:28:53,629 --> 01:28:51,960 actually one of my questions for that's 1818 01:28:58,310 --> 01:28:53,639 one of our listener questions actually 1819 01:29:00,470 --> 01:28:58,320 for you is um Monica on patreon asks so 1820 01:29:02,390 --> 01:29:00,480 I'll move over to these actually 1821 01:29:05,390 --> 01:29:02,400 um our patrons get priority to ask our 1822 01:29:06,410 --> 01:29:05,400 guests questions first she wants to know 1823 01:29:09,290 --> 01:29:06,420 um 1824 01:29:10,610 --> 01:29:09,300 why do you think it is uh this plays 1825 01:29:12,770 --> 01:29:10,620 right into this why do you think it is 1826 01:29:15,890 --> 01:29:12,780 we don't hear so much uh primarily about 1827 01:29:18,530 --> 01:29:15,900 alien abductions any longer you like 1828 01:29:20,030 --> 01:29:18,540 never hear about reports of these things 1829 01:29:21,290 --> 01:29:20,040 um and that also plays into what you 1830 01:29:24,770 --> 01:29:21,300 just said we don't hear a lot of 1831 01:29:26,510 --> 01:29:24,780 Civilian uh witness testimony anymore 1832 01:29:29,030 --> 01:29:26,520 um you know that's that's my big thing 1833 01:29:31,550 --> 01:29:29,040 here is getting people to tell their 1834 01:29:33,890 --> 01:29:31,560 stories and I will say it becomes harder 1835 01:29:35,870 --> 01:29:33,900 and harder when you would think that it 1836 01:29:37,850 --> 01:29:35,880 would become easier and easier nowadays 1837 01:29:40,550 --> 01:29:37,860 so um yeah 1838 01:29:41,689 --> 01:29:40,560 um to to kind of piggyback off of Monica 1839 01:29:43,850 --> 01:29:41,699 there why do you think it is we don't 1840 01:29:47,990 --> 01:29:43,860 hear so much about abductions anymore or 1841 01:29:53,870 --> 01:29:52,550 right uh with abductions it's a it's an 1842 01:29:55,910 --> 01:29:53,880 interesting question and this is 1843 01:29:57,709 --> 01:29:55,920 something that even I even 1844 01:30:01,610 --> 01:29:57,719 wrote 1845 01:30:05,090 --> 01:30:01,620 in an introduction for Mike Leland's uh 1846 01:30:08,209 --> 01:30:05,100 book he released uh a book to Mark the 1847 01:30:09,530 --> 01:30:08,219 10th anniversary of his blog hidden 1848 01:30:11,930 --> 01:30:09,540 experience 1849 01:30:17,990 --> 01:30:11,940 and 1850 01:30:20,510 --> 01:30:18,000 worst uh skeptic you know he's been 1851 01:30:25,750 --> 01:30:20,520 going back and forth whether the trying 1852 01:30:27,770 --> 01:30:25,760 to ascertain whether he has had true UFO 1853 01:30:29,110 --> 01:30:27,780 experiences or even abduction 1854 01:30:32,990 --> 01:30:29,120 experiences 1855 01:30:35,030 --> 01:30:33,000 uh but she's been very reticent to you 1856 01:30:38,390 --> 01:30:35,040 know even believe in his in his own 1857 01:30:40,610 --> 01:30:38,400 memories you know and and but one thing 1858 01:30:43,010 --> 01:30:40,620 that that was clear to me when I was 1859 01:30:45,050 --> 01:30:43,020 following his blog and I was seeing the 1860 01:30:48,950 --> 01:30:45,060 responses he got 1861 01:30:52,910 --> 01:30:48,960 from his postings and also how he got in 1862 01:30:56,169 --> 01:30:52,920 contact with other people who were also 1863 01:31:00,970 --> 01:30:56,179 sharing their own personal experiences 1864 01:31:06,649 --> 01:31:00,980 uh on the Internet is that 1865 01:31:09,729 --> 01:31:06,659 these people no longer need a the 1866 01:31:13,189 --> 01:31:09,739 middleman as it were in order to share 1867 01:31:15,410 --> 01:31:13,199 their stories to the World by middleman 1868 01:31:18,410 --> 01:31:15,420 I'm referring to people like Bob Hopkins 1869 01:31:21,770 --> 01:31:18,420 or David Jacobs you know like the the 1870 01:31:25,129 --> 01:31:21,780 the UFO investigator who will contact 1871 01:31:27,350 --> 01:31:25,139 the experiencer of the abductee maybe 1872 01:31:30,530 --> 01:31:27,360 they have some kind of like counseling 1873 01:31:33,350 --> 01:31:30,540 circle like both did and that's how he 1874 01:31:34,490 --> 01:31:33,360 managed to gather these stories collect 1875 01:31:40,729 --> 01:31:34,500 them 1876 01:31:43,010 --> 01:31:40,739 their own opinions of what the 1877 01:31:45,649 --> 01:31:43,020 phenomenon should and shouldn't do 1878 01:31:49,189 --> 01:31:45,659 and put them in a book like Intruders 1879 01:31:53,890 --> 01:31:49,199 missing time silent Invasion whatever 1880 01:31:56,570 --> 01:31:53,900 so maybe the reason why we are no longer 1881 01:31:58,250 --> 01:31:56,580 seeing those kind of boots in the market 1882 01:32:00,169 --> 01:31:58,260 is because 1883 01:32:02,330 --> 01:32:00,179 the experiencers 1884 01:32:04,970 --> 01:32:02,340 they're no longer reaching to people 1885 01:32:07,610 --> 01:32:04,980 like both Hopkins or David Jacobs or 1886 01:32:10,010 --> 01:32:07,620 their successors they are just 1887 01:32:12,530 --> 01:32:10,020 sharing their stories online with 1888 01:32:15,350 --> 01:32:12,540 like-minded people through their blogs 1889 01:32:17,689 --> 01:32:15,360 or through their tick tocks or through 1890 01:32:20,870 --> 01:32:17,699 their podcast whatever 1891 01:32:25,550 --> 01:32:20,880 uh and and 1892 01:32:28,070 --> 01:32:25,560 they have that uh outlet they that 1893 01:32:30,790 --> 01:32:28,080 creative outlet that they needed in 1894 01:32:33,649 --> 01:32:30,800 order to not keep that experience 1895 01:32:36,110 --> 01:32:33,659 bottled inside of them and festering 1896 01:32:39,470 --> 01:32:36,120 inside of them so maybe that's one of 1897 01:32:43,010 --> 01:32:39,480 the reasons why we we don't hear so much 1898 01:32:45,709 --> 01:32:43,020 about abductions because you know we 1899 01:32:48,550 --> 01:32:45,719 have we had these major cultural shift 1900 01:32:51,410 --> 01:32:48,560 through the arrival of the internet 1901 01:32:54,890 --> 01:32:51,420 through the arrival of personal blogging 1902 01:32:56,510 --> 01:32:54,900 through the arrival of podcasting so if 1903 01:32:58,310 --> 01:32:56,520 you want if you want to learn about 1904 01:33:01,550 --> 01:32:58,320 those stories 1905 01:33:05,209 --> 01:33:01,560 you don't go to the your local Barnes 1906 01:33:07,209 --> 01:33:05,219 and Nobles you subscribe to to you know 1907 01:33:16,370 --> 01:33:07,219 a 1908 01:33:19,790 --> 01:33:16,380 someone's blog I guess one I guess blogs 1909 01:33:23,450 --> 01:33:19,800 are no longer that uh popular now in the 1910 01:33:25,669 --> 01:33:23,460 days of social media and Twitter uh but 1911 01:33:28,490 --> 01:33:25,679 maybe that's one of the reasons it's a 1912 01:33:31,129 --> 01:33:28,500 it's a social technological explanation 1913 01:33:34,490 --> 01:33:31,139 rather of oh well you know the aliens 1914 01:33:37,129 --> 01:33:34,500 are no longer are no longer taking so 1915 01:33:39,290 --> 01:33:37,139 many people and abducting them which I I 1916 01:33:42,290 --> 01:33:39,300 cannot say that's not the case you know 1917 01:33:44,450 --> 01:33:42,300 I I've heard some people within those 1918 01:33:48,890 --> 01:33:44,460 circles you know people who talk to to 1919 01:33:52,189 --> 01:33:48,900 Guys Like Mike Mike Cleland that the 1920 01:33:54,890 --> 01:33:52,199 mission or the the project like changed 1921 01:33:57,590 --> 01:33:54,900 years and they are no longer in the 1922 01:34:00,530 --> 01:33:57,600 taking people and and making the 1923 01:34:03,950 --> 01:34:00,540 experiment phase there are they are now 1924 01:34:06,890 --> 01:34:03,960 in the standby phase you know my standby 1925 01:34:10,070 --> 01:34:06,900 is that uh they're waiting for something 1926 01:34:13,310 --> 01:34:10,080 to cast happen maybe some catastrophe or 1927 01:34:15,410 --> 01:34:13,320 maybe something that will trigger the 1928 01:34:17,870 --> 01:34:15,420 second phase of the the their their 1929 01:34:21,470 --> 01:34:17,880 grand project which is 1930 01:34:23,510 --> 01:34:21,480 I don't know what you know 1931 01:34:25,850 --> 01:34:23,520 you guess it's as good as mine but 1932 01:34:28,250 --> 01:34:25,860 that's what some of those people believe 1933 01:34:31,370 --> 01:34:28,260 that maybe you know the aliens are now 1934 01:34:33,050 --> 01:34:31,380 in another phase of their project and 1935 01:34:35,390 --> 01:34:33,060 they are no longer interested you know 1936 01:34:37,850 --> 01:34:35,400 they they have all the they have all the 1937 01:34:39,649 --> 01:34:37,860 hybrid babies they can you know they can 1938 01:34:42,110

01:37:57,350 --> 01:37:54,960 that stuff it was it was an interesting 2007 01:38:01,189 --> 01:37:57,360 job it was horribly in the sense of 2008 01:38:03,830 --> 01:38:01,199 stressful enough is is you have to 2009 01:38:06,590 --> 01:38:03,840 juggle a lot of things and you have a 2010 01:38:09,590 --> 01:38:06,600 you know very tight schedules timetables 2011 01:38:11,510 --> 01:38:09,600 uh budgets whatever but that was what 2012 01:38:14,930 --> 01:38:11,520 that that is what I was doing for a 2013 01:38:18,290 --> 01:38:14,940 living for you know 20 years and but 2014 01:38:19,669 --> 01:38:18,300 also before that uh when I was a kid I 2015 01:38:22,729 --> 01:38:19,679 wasn't into 2016 01:38:27,229 --> 01:38:22,739 you know comic books like Superman or 2017 01:38:31,390 --> 01:38:27,239 Batman much the thing that my mother uh 2018 01:38:35,870 --> 01:38:31,400 got for me when I was like little was 2019 01:38:38,050 --> 01:38:35,880 these illustrating editions of uh 2020 01:38:41,629 --> 01:38:38,060 literature classics 2021 01:38:44,930 --> 01:38:41,639 that were published in the 1970s you 2022 01:38:46,550 --> 01:38:44,940 know like uh a comic book Renditions of 2023 01:38:50,290 --> 01:38:46,560 Dracula 2024 01:38:52,629 --> 01:38:50,300 Tom Sawyer The Hunchback of Notre Dame 2025 01:38:58,250 --> 01:38:52,639 Crime and Punishment things like that 2026 01:39:02,510 --> 01:38:58,260 and these were actually done by about a 2027 01:39:05,090 --> 01:39:02,520 group of obscure Philippine artists that 2028 01:39:09,590 --> 01:39:05,100 no one knew about obviously I guess 2029 01:39:12,590 --> 01:39:09,600 because uh they were cheaper labor than 2030 01:39:16,129 --> 01:39:12,600 if you commission this work you know for 2031 01:39:18,649 --> 01:39:16,139 regular artists in the US or the UK and 2032 01:39:22,070 --> 01:39:18,659 one of those artists was a guy by the 2033 01:39:25,629 --> 01:39:22,080 name of Nestor Redondo you can look him 2034 01:39:28,430 --> 01:39:25,639 up on Google he was a Philippine artist 2035 01:39:31,610 --> 01:39:28,440 who before that he was an architect and 2036 01:39:36,530 --> 01:39:31,620 I guess he had to switch careers you 2037 01:39:39,709 --> 01:39:36,540 know as we'd survived but his artwork is 2038 01:39:42,950 --> 01:39:39,719 fantastic I've always loved it the way 2039 01:39:46,430 --> 01:39:42,960 that he he created his lines with I 2040 01:39:48,950 --> 01:39:46,440 guess with with with brushes and and the 2041 01:39:52,669 --> 01:39:48,960 texture that he he created with that it 2042 01:39:54,410 --> 01:39:52,679 is it is it is truly marvelous you know 2043 01:39:55,610 --> 01:39:54,420 it's something that I've tried to 2044 01:39:58,729 --> 01:39:55,620 emulate 2045

you know I wanted to 2048 01:40:09,850 --> 01:40:06,239 create something that looked a mixture 2049 01:40:17,410 --> 01:40:13,729 old wood cutting illustrations you know 2050 01:40:21,470 --> 01:40:17,420 like in the day they did in the you know 2051 01:40:25,310 --> 01:40:21,480 1600s or something and the modern you 2052 01:40:28,010 --> 01:40:25,320 know pop culture pop pop art of uh the

had like two more uh cards to 2204 01:47:54,050 --> 01:47:51,119 show 2205 01:47:55,790 --> 01:47:54,060 and we knew that uh 2206 01:47:58,010 --> 01:47:55,800 that did what this wasn't the right 2207 01:48:00,109 --> 01:47:58,020 approach and I will take forever you 2208 01:48:02,390 --> 01:48:00,119 know it would take 10 years to do the 2209 01:48:05,209 --> 01:48:02,400 whole thing if we were going at this 2210 01:48:07,010 --> 01:48:05,219 space so I uh at one point someone 2211 01:48:08,930 --> 01:48:07,020 suggested well let's make some kind of 2212 01:48:14,629 --> 01:48:08,940 like Kickstarter campaign 2213 01:48:17,990 --> 01:48:14,639 so Miguel can focus on only on the cards 2214 01:48:19,910 --> 01:48:18,000 and and do nothing else and you know to 2215 01:48:21,229 --> 01:48:19,920 sustain himself you know we will raise 2216 01:48:25,010 --> 01:48:21,239 enough money 2217 01:48:26,629 --> 01:48:25,020 so he can devote you know a year or or 2218 01:48:29,030 --> 01:48:26,639 or more 2219 01:48:31,129 --> 01:48:29,040 doing nothing but drawing the cards and 2220 01:48:34,070 --> 01:48:31,139 I was like yeah perfect that sounds 2221 01:48:37,430 --> 01:48:34,080 great to me you know hey having a whole 2222 01:48:41,750 --> 01:48:37,440 year without worrying about uh uh where 2223 01:48:44,770 --> 01:48:41,760 do I have find a project to to to get 2224 01:48:49,250 --> 01:48:44,780 money and make sense me it sign me up 2225 01:48:51,709 --> 01:48:49,260 yeah and obviously right that's a dream 2226 01:48:54,709 --> 01:48:51,719 but before the dream we need to get real 2227 01:48:56,750 --> 01:48:54,719 and really organize the the campaign and 2228 01:49:00,169 --> 01:48:56,760 the first thing that we realize is that 2229 01:49:04,570 --> 01:49:00,179 okay we need at least to show five cards 2230 01:49:08,090 --> 01:49:04,580 just to show a proof of concept 2231 01:49:09,830 --> 01:49:08,100 so you know people realize take us 2232 01:49:13,910 --> 01:49:09,840 seriously and and take the campaign 2233 01:49:16,609 --> 01:49:13,920 seriously so it was until I finished the 2234 01:49:20,209 --> 01:49:16,619 the the five cars that I said to the 2235 01:49:23,750 --> 01:49:20,219 guys okay my work is done now it's your 2236 01:49:26,030 --> 01:49:23,760 chicken now it's your turn to get 2237 01:49:31,010 --> 01:49:26,040 working on the campaign and to figure 2238 01:49:34,310 --> 01:49:31,020 out uh you know prices and budget stuff 2239 01:49:37,729 --> 01:49:34,320 on where we're going to print it in the 2240 01:49:38,570 --> 01:49:37,739 states and you know the perks and all of 2241 01:49:47,030 --> 01:49:38,580 that 2242 01:49:49,790 --> 01:49:47,040 organized the campaign we also showed 2243 01:49:52,729 --> 01:49:49,800 the the the the the the cards to some 2244 01:49:54,890 --> 01:49:52,739 people to get feedback Greg even showed 2245 01:49:58,550 --> 01:49:54,900 the car the cards the first card to 2246 01:50:00,830 --> 01:49:58,560 Jacques to Jacqueline himself because in 2247 01:50:03,290 --> 01:50:00,840 in the back of our minds we had this 2248 01:50:07,010 --> 01:50:03,300 fear you know that if Valeria thought it 2249 01:50:07,790 --> 01:50:07,020 was a bad idea then you know we might as 2250 01:50:12,169 --> 01:50:07,800 well 2251 01:50:14,390 --> 01:50:12,179 back away from it and yeah at first I 2252 01:50:17,390 --> 01:50:14,400 think he said well you know I I don't 2253 01:50:19,070 --> 01:50:17,400 think he he understood the project or 2254 01:50:21,410 --> 01:50:19,080 what we were trying to do maybe he 2255 01:50:24,109 --> 01:50:21,420 thought it was some kind of like you 2256 01:50:27,229 --> 01:50:24,119 know just fine art in some carbo it is 2257 01:50:30,109 --> 01:50:27,239 Fan Art but uh it was he didn't 2258 01:50:33,709 --> 01:50:30,119 understand the level at which we wanted 2259 01:50:35,510 --> 01:50:33,719 to to do this this project but Greg 2260 01:50:38,629 --> 01:50:35,520 showed him the card and also told him 2261 01:50:40,609 --> 01:50:38,639 that JL hanik was going to be in the 2262 01:50:43,250 --> 01:50:40,619 curse and and I think at the at the 2263 01:50:45,050 --> 01:50:43,260 sound of that valet got really you know 2264 01:50:48,189 --> 01:50:45,060 changed his mind and said well that now 2265 01:50:51,229 --> 01:50:48,199 that that sounds interesting then 2266 01:50:53,030 --> 01:50:51,239 got his his Blessing and also the 2267 01:50:58,090 --> 01:50:53,040 blessing of people like Paul heineck you 2268 01:51:01,490 --> 01:50:58,100 know we also show Paul uh Allen's uh son 2269 01:51:05,689 --> 01:51:01,500 uh the card that is the emperor that 2270 01:51:08,330 --> 01:51:05,699 shows his father J.L hanik uh 2271 01:51:11,330 --> 01:51:08,340 and the moment that Greg showed him that 2272 01:51:12,770 --> 01:51:11,340 card I think that bumper of racing but 2273 01:51:15,050 --> 01:51:12,780 Paul says something like I don't know 2274 01:51:17,030 --> 01:51:15,060 what that is but I want it you know so 2275 01:51:18,950 --> 01:51:17,040 we were getting this uh encouragement 2276 01:51:20,810 --> 01:51:18,960 especially for me it was important for 2277 01:51:24,229 --> 01:51:20,820 me to get the the encouragement people 2278 01:51:27,950 --> 01:51:24,239 say well I people people think my my 2279 01:51:30,050 --> 01:51:27,960 work is not crap so I I I I I I I I can 2280 01:51:33,770 --> 01:51:30,060 keep going with it 2281 01:51:37,070 --> 01:51:33,780 and we launched the campaign it was more 2282 01:51:38,750 --> 01:51:37,080 successful than we had 2283 01:51:41,990 --> 01:51:38,760 ever dreamed of 2284 01:51:43,129 --> 01:51:42,000 we got almost twice the amount that we 2285 01:51:45,910 --> 01:51:43,139 were going for 2286 01:51:48,890 --> 01:51:45,920 which was you know great 2287 01:51:52,910 --> 01:51:48,900 and we officially started the campaign 2288 01:51:56,090 --> 01:51:52,920 we launched the campaign on Halloween of 2289 01:51:59,229 --> 01:51:56,100 2021 if I'm not mistaken 2290 01:52:03,410 --> 01:51:59,239 and after a month 2291 01:52:06,770 --> 01:52:03,420 and a half we had enough money uh and we 2292 01:52:08,990 --> 01:52:06,780 and I started you know working on on the 2293 01:52:10,669 --> 01:52:09,000 project and that was my life you know 2294 01:52:15,350 --> 01:52:10,679 for a whole year 2295 01:52:17,810 --> 01:52:15,360 uh for at least six hours a day doing 2296 01:52:21,169 --> 01:52:17,820 nothing but working on the cars 2297 01:52:23,810 --> 01:52:21,179 researching the cards uh finding 2298 01:52:24,709 --> 01:52:23,820 references for the cards polishing the 2299 01:52:27,950 --> 01:52:24,719 cards 2300 01:52:31,609 --> 01:52:27,960 and then also keeping with the salons 2301 01:52:33,770 --> 01:52:31,619 every Sunday to keep talking about the 2302 01:52:37,010 --> 01:52:33,780 next car that I was going to do 2303 01:52:40,189 --> 01:52:37,020 and it was a really interesting uh 2304 01:52:43,910 --> 01:52:40,199 Dynamic uh fun 2305 01:52:45,530 --> 01:52:43,920 uh sometimes a bit stressful experiences 2306 01:52:47,590 --> 01:52:45,540 obviously you know the dead as the 2307 01:52:51,109 --> 01:52:47,600 deadline keeps getting closer and closer 2308 01:52:53,030 --> 01:52:51,119 the pressure keeps piling and piling but 2309 01:52:56,510 --> 01:52:53,040 I wouldn't have changes for the world it 2310 01:52:58,629 --> 01:52:56,520 was it was really it was a really 2311 01:53:01,129 --> 01:52:58,639 I want to say it was a magical 2312 01:53:03,470 --> 01:53:01,139 experience for me because it was truly 2313 01:53:06,830 --> 01:53:03,480 magical and I'm not and I'm not saying 2314 01:53:09,590 --> 01:53:06,840 that uh because of of having had the 2315 01:53:12,290 --> 01:53:09,600 chance to do this but also because there 2316 01:53:16,970 --> 01:53:12,300 were a lot of synchronicities that 2317 01:53:21,669 --> 01:53:16,980 happened not only to me but to Greg and 2318 01:53:23,810 --> 01:53:21,679 the others around the cards that are 2319 01:53:26,990 --> 01:53:23,820 that have really 2320 01:53:29,570 --> 01:53:27,000 gave me the impression that we were 2321 01:53:33,709 --> 01:53:29,580 doing something very powerful indeed 2322 01:53:37,790 --> 01:53:33,719 that we were really doing something that 2323 01:53:40,370 --> 01:53:37,800 is not just uh some cute you know like 2324 01:53:43,129 --> 01:53:40,380 collection collectors item that is going 2325 01:53:46,790 --> 01:53:43,139 to collect dust somewhere else I really 2326 01:53:49,370 --> 01:53:46,800 think that when people 2327 01:53:52,970 --> 01:53:49,380 finally get their hands in the cars and 2328 01:53:54,410 --> 01:53:52,980 start really playing with the cards I 2329 01:53:57,050 --> 01:53:54,420 mean I'm not saying that there's going 2330 01:53:59,270 --> 01:53:57,060 to be like you're gonna have a a close 2331 01:54:02,330 --> 01:53:59,280 encounter of the Third Kind 2332 01:54:06,229 --> 01:54:02,340 I think but I think that stuff is going 2333 01:54:09,890 --> 01:54:06,239 to happen to the people who respect the 2334 01:54:13,370 --> 01:54:09,900 cards the people who use the cards uh in 2335 01:54:16,070 --> 01:54:13,380 their practice or even to people who are 2336 01:54:18,830 --> 01:54:16,080 not practicing magicians but are are 2337 01:54:21,530 --> 01:54:18,840 nevertheless drawn to the cars for other 2338 01:54:24,649 --> 01:54:21,540 reason and maybe their start they they 2339 01:54:27,649 --> 01:54:24,659 begin a path of learning more about Taro 2340 01:54:30,229 --> 01:54:27,659 learning more about ufology you know 2341 01:54:33,350 --> 01:54:30,239 learning more about who was Stanton 2342 01:54:36,709 --> 01:54:33,360 Friedman who was James MacDonald 2343 01:54:40,250 --> 01:54:36,719 you know who were the you know who was 2344 01:54:43,490 --> 01:54:40,260 Bob Hopkins who was John Mack who was 2345 01:54:45,530 --> 01:54:43,500 people like uh other people that were 2346 01:54:48,470 --> 01:54:45,540 depicted in the cards 2347 01:54:50,649 --> 01:54:48,480 that is that is our aspiration you know 2348 01:54:54,229 --> 01:54:50,659 it's our hope and 2349 01:54:57,590 --> 01:54:54,239 uh the first car the first phase of the 2350 01:55:01,189 --> 01:54:57,600 project was completed successfully uh uh 2351 01:55:04,490 --> 01:55:01,199 and our hope is that 2352 01:55:07,729 --> 01:55:04,500 in the future we can continue with the 2353 01:55:10,430 --> 01:55:07,739 second phase which is the minor Arcana 2354 01:55:12,950 --> 01:55:10,440 of the cards because we have we only 2355 01:55:14,689 --> 01:55:12,960 completed the major Arcana you know uh 2356 01:55:17,450 --> 01:55:14,699 in the people who know about Taro you 2357 01:55:20,450 --> 01:55:17,460 know they're 22 cars or comprised in a 2358 01:55:23,590 --> 01:55:20,460 major Arcana and the other ones are the 2359 01:55:26,330 --> 01:55:23,600 the main the major the major Arcana 2360 01:55:28,790 --> 01:55:26,340 and obviously there are so those are 2361 01:55:29,990 --> 01:55:28,800 more cards to do so we need to create a 2362 01:55:32,330 --> 01:55:30,000 second campaign 2363 01:55:34,970 --> 01:55:32,340 we need to ask for more money obviously 2364 01:55:37,729 --> 01:55:34,980 I'll need to have a lot more time to 2365 01:55:40,070 --> 01:55:37,739 complete it maybe we have to figure out 2366 01:55:43,850 --> 01:55:40,080 something in order to break the project 2367 01:55:47,149 --> 01:55:43,860 into different phases uh 2368 01:55:49,010 --> 01:55:47,159 uh in order to you know show people 2369 01:55:51,109 --> 01:55:49,020 instead of saying well you know just 2370 01:55:53,209 --> 01:55:51,119 wait five years until yeah finishes the 2371 01:55:55,250 --> 01:55:53,219 cards and then I'll we'll send you the 2372 01:55:57,890 --> 01:55:55,260 they'll send you your deck 2373

requests from people 2376 01:56:07,669 --> 01:56:05,159 who didn't know about the campaign at 2377 01:56:11,030 --> 01:56:07,679 first and who have seen the artwork and 2378 01:56:13,189 -->

artistic 2411 01:57:43,970 --> 01:57:40,800 expression and um like you said I think 2412 01:57:46,850 --> 01:57:43,980 art has a lot to do with all of this 2413 01:57:51,410 --> 01:57:46,860 um in

01:57:56,219 create create and I think that really 2417 01:58:02,089 --> 01:57:58,560 does play into a lot of this as well so 2418 01:58:04,490 --> 01:58:02,099 dude take as long as you need everyone
