1 00:00:23,250 --> 00:00:14,330 [Music] 2 00:00:23,260 --> 00:00:26,260 you 3 00:00:30,700 --> 00:00:29,440 my name is Cheryl Costa I'm a resident 4 00:00:33,010 --> 00:00:30,710 of upstate New York 5 00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:33,020 I'm a journalist for the Syracuse New 6 00:00:41,380 --> 00:00:36,290 Times and I'm a talk show host on kco 7 00:00:44,229 --> 00:00:41,390 our digital radio this conversation I 8 00:00:46,570 --> 00:00:44,239 wanted to have with you about the the 9 00:00:48,910 --> 00:00:46,580 issue of consciousness as it regards to 10 00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:48,920 the UFO community 11 00:00:55,579 --> 00:00:51,290 I grew up in a clairvoyant family 12 00:01:02,520 --> 00:00:59,639 maternal side of my family on down the 13 00:01:05,910 --> 00:01:02,530 paternal side my father's had the family 14 00:01:09,810 --> 00:01:05,920 and an interest in a focus into 15 00:01:12,210 --> 00:01:09,820 shamanism from from North Africa runs 16 00:01:14,399 --> 00:01:12,220 down the family so needless to say 17 00:01:19,320 --> 00:01:14,409 myself and my siblings got kind of a 18 00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:19,330 double whammy of awareness and since the 19 00:01:27,179 --> 00:01:23,170 early days of my studying of UFOs back 20 00:01:30,809 --> 00:01:27,189 in the late 1960s I became aware acutely 21 00:01:36,380 --> 00:01:30,819 that ESP telepathy and just the whole 22 00:01:41,419 --> 00:01:36,390 general consciousness stuff was an 23 00:01:44,550 --> 00:01:41,429 important issue with regards to UFOs 24 00:01:48,809 --> 00:01:44,560 these days here we are 40 or 50 years 25 00:01:52,859 --> 00:01:48,819 later I have been a practicing Wiccan 26 00:01:55,020 --> 00:01:52,869 for for 40 years I lived almost ten 27 00:01:58,559 --> 00:01:55,030 years in a Buddhist monastery I'm an 28 00:02:02,520 --> 00:01:58,569 ordained Buddhist monastic and the one 29 00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:02,530 thing I have come to understand is the 30 00:02:12,750 --> 00:02:08,050 idea that we as beings are not what we 31 00:02:16,740 --> 00:02:12,760 see here in the flesh okay we are I am I 32 00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:16,750 am the the being behind this mask of 33 00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:19,810 flesh in these eyes okay I am in mortal 34 00:02:25,830 --> 00:02:23,170 I've had many names but I have none I've 35 00:02:30,780 --> 00:02:25,840 had millions of lifetime's and and 36 00:02:33,449 --> 00:02:30,790 everyone is like this okay and that our 37 00:02:35,869 --> 00:02:33,459 creative spark that God sparked the 38 00:02:38,339 --> 00:02:35,879 force whatever you want to call it is 39 00:02:40,649 --> 00:02:38,349 when in each one of us that is our life 40 00:02:43,770 --> 00:02:40,659 force and that life force is not 41 00:02:46,020 --> 00:02:43,780 separate from the great consciousness 42 00:02:48,509 --> 00:02:46,030 that all that is the great mind is the 43 00:02:52,949 --> 00:02:48,519 Buddhist call it we are connected to 44 00:02:55,089 --> 00:02:52,959 everything everyone everywhere every 45 00:02:58,179 --> 00:02:55,099 whim 46 00:03:00,699 --> 00:02:58,189 it crosses temp time does not exist in 47 00:03:07,059 --> 00:03:00,709 the context of our living essence in our 48 00:03:09,429 --> 00:03:07,069 living Souls and that's where UFO ology 49 00:03:11,349 --> 00:03:09,439 I think needs to get away from the nuts 50 00:03:13,319 --> 00:03:11,359 and bolts side of things a little bit 51 00:03:16,479 --> 00:03:13,329 and start looking at consciousness 52 00:03:18,550 --> 00:03:16,489 because while I can go to another 53 00:03:20,589 --> 00:03:18,560 country and to people who to different 54 00:03:22,780 --> 00:03:20,599 languages can't talk to each other if we 55 00:03:25,300 --> 00:03:22,790 have any amount of intuitive quality 56 00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:25,310 between us we can get the message across 57 00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:29,450 on a nonverbal level and I think that's 58 00:03:35,819 --> 00:03:32,450 what's gonna I think the ETS are waiting 59 00:03:39,039 --> 00:03:35,829 for us to wake up a little bit more and 60 00:03:44,220 --> 00:03:39,049 the evidence that I've seen is people 61 00:03:48,940 --> 00:03:44,230 who have been touched by et experiencers 62 00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:48,950 abductees that sort of thing we've all 63 00:03:54,780 --> 00:03:51,370 turned into mystics 64 00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:54,790 it's weird it's it's um it's these 65 00:03:59,280 --> 00:03:56,650 people find themselves in this situation 66 00:04:01,740 --> 00:03:59,290 I've known people who were completely 67 00:04:04,020 --> 00:04:01,750 atheist or agnostic about their about 68 00:04:07,590 --> 00:04:04,030 faith subjects made or suddenly their 69 00:04:09,949 --> 00:04:07,600 spiritual I know people were hell fire 70 00:04:12,750 --> 00:04:09,959 brimstone bible thumpers and suddenly 71 00:04:16,409 --> 00:04:12,760 they're a little less Dogma and they're 72 00:04:18,270 --> 00:04:16,419 more spiritual I've seen everything 73 00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:18,280 across the board of people that suddenly 74 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:19,930 have one of these experiences and 75 00:04:28,350 --> 00:04:23,010 suddenly their excuse expression 76 00:04:32,870 --> 00:04:28,360 tree-hugging almost new-age view type 77 00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:32,880 people and of course because I did live 78 00:04:39,630 --> 00:04:36,370 seven years in a Buddhist monastery I 79 00:04:42,810 --> 00:04:39,640 have a handle on meditation and quieting 80 00:04:45,300 --> 00:04:42,820 yourself and everything and there's a 81 00:04:47,130 --> 00:04:45,310 lot to be said to quieting yourself and 82 00:04:50,100 --> 00:04:47,140 of course our culture doesn't want to 83 00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:50,110 quiet you we've got TV blaring at you on 84 00:04:56,250 --> 00:04:52,330 a thousand channels we got radio being 85 00:04:58,260 --> 00:04:56,260 coming through your phone we have all 86 00:05:01,020 --> 00:04:58,270 kinds of social media coming through 87 00:05:06,330 --> 00:05:01,030 your phone and people don't have time to 88 00:05:07,890 --> 00:05:06,340 have that introspection time to listen 89 00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:07,900 to that little voice in their heart 90 00:05:15,659 --> 00:05:10,450 which is the connection to everything 91 00:05:18,810 --> 00:05:15,669 and that's a shame but if you truly 92 00:05:21,270 --> 00:05:18,820 truly want to be connected and 93 00:05:23,730 --> 00:05:21,280 understand this whole thing with ET you 94 00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:23,740 really need to start looking at the idea 95 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:27,250 of being connected and learning to quiet 96 00:05:31,770 --> 00:05:30,250 yourself and you don't have to meditate 97 00:05:33,750 --> 00:05:31,780 like you know temple Buddhist like a 98 00:05:35,969 --> 00:05:33,760 Buddhist temple for hours and hours give 99 00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:35,979 yourself two minutes a day two to five 100 00:05:40,909 --> 00:05:37,450 minutes the day don't try for longer 101 00:05:43,469 --> 00:05:40,919 just give me two minutes a day of 102 00:05:46,430 --> 00:05:43,479 quietness if you have to do it on the 103 00:05:48,230 --> 00:05:46,440 throne do it there just 104 00:05:50,900 --> 00:05:48,240 by yourself and just clear the thoughts 105 00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:50,910 in your head don't worry about the car 106 00:05:58,030 --> 00:05:54,090 the dog the kids the house just 107 00:06:01,580 --> 00:05:58,040 two minutes alone with your thoughts I 108 00:06:03,610 --> 00:06:01,590 think it's important that people learn 109 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:03,620 to quiet themselves 110 00:06:07,270 --> 00:06:05,810 I'm sorry if you think well I don't 111 00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:07,280 believe in Buddha you don't have to 112 00:06:13,659 --> 00:06:10,130 believe in Buddhism just accept the 113 00:06:16,090 --> 00:06:13,669 premise that your can your soul essence 114 00:06:20,159 --> 00:06:16,100 your spiritual essence is connected to 115 00:06:22,709 --> 00:06:20,169 everything everywhere 116 00:06:24,029 --> 00:06:22,719 and and if you look at Christian 117 00:06:26,309 --> 00:06:24,039 doctrine you know one of the great 118 00:06:29,189 --> 00:06:26,319 Commandments is love God is love thy God 119 00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:29,199 as I self are with all your heart okay 120 00:06:34,409 --> 00:06:31,930 and in a second part of that is love thy 121 00:06:36,869 --> 00:06:34,419 neighbor as I simple et's a neighbor 122 00:06:39,059 --> 00:06:36,879 might be a long ways neighbor but he's a 123 00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:39,069 neighbor okay 124 00:06:46,980 --> 00:06:44,289 and by quieting yourself might just open 125 00:06:49,679 --> 00:06:46,990 your heart enough that your neighbor 126 00:06:53,010 --> 00:06:49,689 might speak to you and a lot of people 127 00:06:54,719 --> 00:06:53,020 who have been experiencers have had very 128 00:06:56,879 --> 00:06:54,729 one summer after they got past their 129 00:07:01,589 --> 00:06:56,889 fears and everything have had wonderful 130 00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:01,599 experiences with those folks and this is 131 00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:04,050 an important thing and if 132 00:07:08,589 --> 00:07:06,930 if we're going to have disclosure it's 133 00:07:11,210 --> 00:07:08,599 gonna have to be at a grassroots level 134 00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:11,220 and it's gonna have to be with more 135 00:07:17,450 --> 00:07:13,250 people reaching out where their heart 136 00:07:20,300 --> 00:07:17,460 with joy in their heart and invitation 137 00:07:24,110 --> 00:07:20,310 in their heart come be with us come 138 00:07:26,749 --> 00:07:24,120 break bread with us come join us and et 139 00:07:30,409 --> 00:07:26,759 will come and we've heard many people 140 00:07:33,580 --> 00:07:30,419 from the the ce-5 or close encounters 141 00:07:38,450 --> 00:07:33,590 five community say you send out bright 142 00:07:42,339 --> 00:07:38,460 wishes of great wishes of greetings they 143 00:07:46,460 --> 00:07:42,349 show up and they dance around in the sky 144 00:07:50,679 --> 00:07:46,470 so this seems to be the one thing that 145 00:07:52,239 --> 00:07:50,689 anybody can do you 146 00:07:54,459 --> 00:07:52,249 meditate a little bit a couple minutes 147 00:07:57,189 --> 00:07:54,469 worth of quieting a day it makes the 148 00:07:57,549 --> 00:07:57,199 difference just to two to five minutes a 149 00:08:00,159 --> 00:07:57,559 day 150 00:08:02,829 --> 00:08:00,169 don't try and sit there for an hour I'd 151 00:08:03,639 --> 00:08:02,839 rather have as a as a as a monk I'm 152 00:08:05,709 --> 00:08:03,649 telling you 153 00:08:08,699 --> 00:08:05,719 I'd rather have two minutes of good 154 00:08:09,879 --> 00:08:08,709 meditation than 45 minutes of struggling 155 00:08:13,539 --> 00:08:09,889 okay 156 00:08:15,999 --> 00:08:13,549 don't be macho about it just learn to do 157 00:08:17,949 --> 00:08:16,009 two to five minutes and if you get good 158 00:08:19,509 --> 00:08:17,959 at it you can do one do it two to five 159 00:08:22,209 --> 00:08:19,519 minutes in the morning do two to five 160 00:08:24,579 --> 00:08:22,219 minutes a little bit for bedtime fine 161 00:08:27,699 --> 00:08:24,589 great do it more often you do it the 162 00:08:29,619 --> 00:08:27,709 better it is I find it grounds me from 163 00:08:31,509 --> 00:08:29,629 all that all the goofy stuff that goes 164 00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:31,519 on in the day gives me a couple of 165 00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:33,810 minutes of peace 166 00:08:39,649 --> 00:08:36,810 okay and yes I lived in a Buddhist 167 00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:39,659 monastery yes I can do 35 40 minutes of 168 00:08:46,189 --> 00:08:43,050 meditation but for the most part my most 169 00:08:47,869 --> 00:08:46,199 effective meditation is two to seven 170 00:08:49,759 --> 00:08:47,879 minutes worth of meditation sometimes 171 00:08:53,329 --> 00:08:49,769 I'll take a couple of minutes from my 172 00:08:55,249 --> 00:08:53,339 computer I'll step away sit down on a 173 00:08:56,329 --> 00:08:55,259 stool or someplace and just quiet myself 174 00:08:59,140 --> 00:08:56,339 for a few minutes 175 00:09:03,040 --> 00:08:59,150 Center myself 176 00:09:06,740 --> 00:09:03,050 and just like go of all stress and you'd 177 00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:06,750 be surprised how settled to become 178 00:09:11,180 --> 00:09:09,330 used to be everybody went to church most 179 00:09:13,910 --> 00:09:11,190 everybody went to church some faith or 180 00:09:16,610 --> 00:09:13,920 another okay and there have been people 181 00:09:18,350 --> 00:09:16,620 falling away from the faith okay 182 00:09:20,690 --> 00:09:18,360 they just got sick the rules in the 183 00:09:23,300 --> 00:09:20,700 dogma and all of that a lot of people I 184 00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:23,310 mean most the mainstream debates here in 185 00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:24,930 the United States I've got a friend of 186 00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:27,090 mine who's a chaplain a college chaplain 187 00:09:34,100 --> 00:09:30,210 and she she told me quite literally we 188 00:09:36,140 --> 00:09:34,110 are hemorrhaging from the pews we are 189 00:09:37,850 --> 00:09:36,150 losing people left and right but are 190 00:09:40,370 --> 00:09:37,860 they completely going away from 191 00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:40,380 spirituality no they're joining 192 00:09:45,710 --> 00:09:43,650 face-like Wicca suddenly this year 193 00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:45,720 they're near times last this past 194 00:09:52,220 --> 00:09:49,410 December December of 2018 had an article 195 00:09:54,110 --> 00:09:52,230 that said that there are now more Wiccan 196 00:09:56,690 --> 00:09:54,120 witches in the United States than there 197 00:10:00,650 --> 00:09:56,700 are the United Church of Christ 198 00:10:02,420 --> 00:10:00,660 Presbyterians you know so I mean people 199 00:10:05,650 --> 00:10:02,430 are coming back to spirituality but 200 00:10:10,190 --> 00:10:05,660 they're they're not doing it through the 201 00:10:12,430 --> 00:10:10,200 rope verse structure of of the 202 00:10:14,570 --> 00:10:12,440 traditional Christian Judeo faith and 203 00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:14,580 and that's a shame there's there's 204 00:10:18,470 --> 00:10:16,050 there's some richness in those 205 00:10:22,970 --> 00:10:18,480 traditions but I think they got too full 206 00:10:25,870 --> 00:10:22,980 of themselves and I think that's what 207 00:10:29,420 --> 00:10:25,880 people see is the hypocrisy in the 208 00:10:33,410 --> 00:10:29,430 public face and administration of the 209 00:10:34,970 --> 00:10:33,420 faiths okay if you go really into the 210 00:10:37,580 --> 00:10:34,980 Bible there's plenty of wonderful 211 00:10:39,110 --> 00:10:37,590 teachings but people seem to just want 212 00:10:40,970 --> 00:10:39,120 to go in there pull out a few phrases 213 00:10:42,650 --> 00:10:40,980 and beat somebody over a head beat the 214 00:10:45,590 --> 00:10:42,660 gays over the head beat women over the 215 00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:45,600 head beat other colors over the head and 216 00:10:50,990 --> 00:10:49,410 and and that's wrong okay because if you 217 00:10:54,310 --> 00:10:51,000 look at the greater book and you look at 218 00:10:57,260 --> 00:10:54,320 the greater story the general story is 219 00:11:00,110 --> 00:10:57,270 love God the great if nothing else the 220 00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:00,120 great consciousness whatever face of God 221 00:11:05,510 --> 00:11:02,010 you want to put on it 222 00:11:08,570 --> 00:11:05,520 okay in the Hindu faith these have 33 223 00:11:11,330 --> 00:11:08,580 million gods they all say it's Brahma 224 00:11:13,820 --> 00:11:11,340 it's that one core God but different 225 00:11:15,430 --> 00:11:13,830 aspects different phases of God to suit 226 00:11:18,010 --> 00:11:15,440 everyone 227 00:11:20,620 --> 00:11:18,020 and I think that an all-loving God would 228 00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:20,630 give us a friendly face for whatever we 229 00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:24,050 perceive we want God to be and I think 230 00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:26,330 people are embracing that kind of a 231 00:11:31,300 --> 00:11:29,090 viewpoint and I think they're also 232 00:11:33,100 --> 00:11:31,310 embracing the idea of this connectedness 233 00:11:36,690 --> 00:11:33,110 with other people we've got too much 234 00:11:39,190 --> 00:11:36,700 divisive myths and our culture's and 235 00:11:40,530 --> 00:11:39,200 like Jesus said love thy neighbor as 236 00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:40,540 thyself 237 00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:43,210 all your neighbors don't tell me oh but 238 00:11:47,850 --> 00:11:46,210 those people don't count okay I hear a 239 00:11:49,890 --> 00:11:47,860 lot of people saying that these days 240 00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:49,900 that the immigrants don't count or the 241 00:11:55,620 --> 00:11:51,850 blacks don't count or the gays don't 242 00:11:58,560 --> 00:11:55,630 count everybody counts every living 243 00:12:01,290 --> 00:11:58,570 thing counts 244 00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:01,300 so here we have that connectiveness with 245 00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:03,730 sentient beings but we also are supposed 246 00:12:08,580 --> 00:12:06,370 to have connectiveness with the other 247 00:12:11,340 --> 00:12:08,590 creatures of the earth God created them 248 00:12:12,930 --> 00:12:11,350 two of the great creator of great maker 249 00:12:16,110 --> 00:12:12,940 whatever you want to call it created 250 00:12:19,220 --> 00:12:16,120 them too so we need to develop this deep 251 00:12:21,210 --> 00:12:19,230 spirituality not necessarily deep dogma 252 00:12:23,370 --> 00:12:21,220 that's my viewpoint 253 00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:23,380 I mean I'm technically an orthodox 254 00:12:30,570 --> 00:12:27,370 Tibetan Buddhist but I I talk very much 255 00:12:34,170 --> 00:12:30,580 like us then or I talk very much like a 256 00:12:39,390 --> 00:12:34,180 very liberal Tibetan galoop a tradition 257 00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:39,400 which is very reformed nothing has to be 258 00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:41,530 painted in stone when it comes to your 259 00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:43,490 beliefs 260 00:12:49,359 --> 00:12:46,490 just sell simple I have one llama who's 261 00:12:51,699 --> 00:12:49,369 added to it is don't beat yourself up 262 00:12:53,940 --> 00:12:51,709 cut yourself some slack but don't let 263 00:12:58,879 --> 00:12:53,950 yourself get away with murder 264 00:13:01,860 --> 00:12:58,889 okay relax enjoy it and embrace 265 00:13:04,290 --> 00:13:01,870 something and let it fill you and the 266 00:13:06,449 --> 00:13:04,300 best way to let it fill you is to 267 00:13:08,460 --> 00:13:06,459 meditate a little bit every day two to 268 00:13:10,350 --> 00:13:08,470 five minutes a day it's an easy 269 00:13:12,449 --> 00:13:10,360 discipline I know people they all do 270 00:13:14,250 --> 00:13:12,459 busy you don't have to go to a temple 271 00:13:16,620 --> 00:13:14,260 like I said you can just go over there 272 00:13:18,210 --> 00:13:16,630 and sit in a stool and do it you can go 273 00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:18,220 in on the throne in the bathroom close 274 00:13:24,050 --> 00:13:22,370 the door and have two minutes of peace 275 00:13:27,470 --> 00:13:24,060 as well 276 00:13:29,860 --> 00:13:27,480 that's the message and people want to 277 00:13:32,140 --> 00:13:29,870 make your life better 278 00:13:35,079 --> 00:13:32,150 feel better about things maybe over time 279 00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:35,089 your awareness will spike up a little 280 00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:37,250 bit and you might become aware of a 281 00:13:44,110 --> 00:13:40,490 bigger world around you like my cousins 282 00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:44,120 and I see there are many things around 283 00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:46,970 us that most people do not see and one 284 00:13:54,070 --> 00:13:49,490 of my llamas in Buddhist temples told me 285 00:13:56,110 --> 00:13:54,080 most people just need to expand the 286 00:13:58,660 --> 00:13:56,120 reality a little bit 287 00:14:00,250 --> 00:13:58,670 and people say well ETSI oh they just 288 00:14:02,170 --> 00:14:00,260 come down here in flying saucers they've 289 00:14:06,370 --> 00:14:02,180 been walking among us for years we're 290 00:14:08,650 --> 00:14:06,380 just not psychologically aware of them 291 00:14:12,249 --> 00:14:08,660 and that's the truth 292 00:14:14,590 --> 00:14:12,259 and I think people that's that's my big 293 00:14:17,259 --> 00:14:14,600 message if you want to be connected in 294 00:14:21,129 --> 00:14:17,269 your faux ology start quieting yourself 295 00:14:25,749 --> 00:14:21,139 be connected to all that is it's as 296 00:14:29,410 --> 00:14:25,759 simple as that we tend to view UFOs in a 297 00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:29,420 physical manifestation context 298 00:14:33,190 --> 00:14:30,770 I talked to people in the UFO community 299 00:14:35,500 --> 00:14:33,200 who want to crawl into the cockpit of 300 00:14:37,750 --> 00:14:35,510 that UFO and look at how are they fly it 301 00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:37,760 looked a kind of Scrolls look like I've 302 00:14:43,780 --> 00:14:40,610 had more than one engineer say I want to 303 00:14:46,450 --> 00:14:43,790 tour their engine room they're strictly 304 00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:46,460 looking at the physical manifestation of 305 00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:48,050 it okay 306 00:14:52,930 --> 00:14:51,410 and how are they going to respond when 307 00:14:55,210 --> 00:14:52,940 they realize that some of these ships 308 00:14:57,070 --> 00:14:55,220 are probably living entities into 309 00:15:01,570 --> 00:14:57,080 themselves and are conscious and 310 00:15:04,210 --> 00:15:01,580 sentient okay it's a big that's what I 311 00:15:06,730 --> 00:15:04,220 mean by expanding your reality there are 312 00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:06,740 things you need to be don't limit what 313 00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:09,770 you can believe can exist because there 314 00:15:15,370 --> 00:15:13,730 are things out there that exists that if 315 00:15:18,430 --> 00:15:15,380 I told you about you would think I was 316 00:15:20,620 --> 00:15:18,440 breathing ly crazy I've talked to other 317 00:15:22,990 --> 00:15:20,630 mystics and they say yeah yeah I deal 318 00:15:25,060 --> 00:15:23,000 with that all the time you know see 319 00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:25,070 there are people walking around on this 320 00:15:30,580 --> 00:15:27,650 world who have opened their awareness up 321 00:15:32,020 --> 00:15:30,590 there are aware of far more things there 322 00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:32,030 is a great life from sakes where there 323 00:15:36,940 --> 00:15:33,650 are far more things in heaven and earth 324 00:15:39,550 --> 00:15:36,950 you know and it's the truth but most 325 00:15:42,379 --> 00:15:39,560 people have this little tunnel vision of 326 00:15:44,150 --> 00:15:42,389 what they think reality is 327 00:15:45,769 --> 00:15:44,160 and they go through the motions of 328 00:15:47,329 --> 00:15:45,779 day-to-day life like they were enough 329 00:15:49,630 --> 00:15:47,339 felt like they're in a stage play 330 00:15:54,210 --> 00:15:49,640 following a script 331 00:16:00,030 --> 00:15:57,600 that's the only advice I can give as far 332 00:16:02,670 --> 00:16:00,040 as how will affect your view of UFO 333 00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:02,680 ology if you expand your reality then 334 00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:04,690 you might be willing to accept some of 335 00:16:13,230 --> 00:16:09,490 the more outlandish ideas here and I'm 336 00:16:14,850 --> 00:16:13,240 not talking conspiracy theory so I know 337 00:16:17,429 --> 00:16:14,860 people who do not believe they're from 338 00:16:19,860 --> 00:16:17,439 these things are from another part of 339 00:16:23,129 --> 00:16:19,870 the galaxy or there may be from another 340 00:16:24,930 --> 00:16:23,139 galaxy or they're from interdimensional 341 00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:24,940 beings 342 00:16:30,420 --> 00:16:28,690 and if they people ask me well what do 343 00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:30,430 you think Cheryl I think all of the 344 00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:32,250 above 345 00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:33,930 just because we don't know how to do it 346 00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:35,610 doesn't mean they don't know how to do 347 00:16:39,150 --> 00:16:37,570 it 348 00:16:40,860 --> 00:16:39,160 and of course there are the cynical 349 00:16:43,590 --> 00:16:40,870 people to seem to think that you know 350 00:16:46,590 --> 00:16:43,600 them talking to us would be like us 351 00:16:50,470 --> 00:16:46,600 talking to the mice you know and it's 352 00:16:54,079 --> 00:16:50,480 not necessarily like that we're thinking 353 00:16:57,470 --> 00:16:54,089 sensitive and usually caring individuals 354 00:17:00,860 --> 00:16:57,480 most of us and if you open your heart to 355 00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:00,870 them eventually there's going to be 356 00:17:04,100 --> 00:17:02,730 enough of us who are opening their heart 357 00:17:06,380 --> 00:17:04,110 to them that they're going to say okay 358 00:17:08,689 --> 00:17:06,390 now we can week now we can talk to these 359 00:17:10,429 --> 00:17:08,699 people I think the people they've 360 00:17:16,130 --> 00:17:10,439 already talked to are the people they 361 00:17:17,210 --> 00:17:16,140 have had experiencing and and what we 362 00:17:20,569 --> 00:17:17,220 call duck shion's 363 00:17:24,199 --> 00:17:20,579 I think it's just the abduction thing is 364 00:17:25,790 --> 00:17:24,209 overblown as Bob about what four years 365 00:17:28,189 --> 00:17:25,800 all I've ever heard I'll give me an 366 00:17:31,910 --> 00:17:28,199 example number a couple of years ago I 367 00:17:34,070 --> 00:17:31,920 was that a UFO Congress and I had asked 368 00:17:37,460 --> 00:17:34,080 because I was press I was forbidden to 369 00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:37,470 be at the the experiences meeting was 370 00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:40,290 like a Alcoholics Anonymous meeting at 371 00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:41,850 seven o'clock in the morning every day 372 00:17:46,700 --> 00:17:43,890 at the conference right for experiencers 373 00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:46,710 to come in and share their stories and I 374 00:17:51,169 --> 00:17:49,170 after a couple of years from not being a 375 00:17:55,220 --> 00:17:51,179 go there I went to the psychologists who 376 00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:55,230 who act who act like a moderator for it 377 00:17:59,120 --> 00:17:57,210 and I said but I'll leave my press 378 00:18:00,919 --> 00:17:59,130 passes upstairs and I'll forget on my 379 00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:00,929 journalists I'm not gonna out anybody 380 00:18:05,270 --> 00:18:03,570 I've just like to come and learn is I 381 00:18:06,860 --> 00:18:05,280 had been exposed to the same stuff like 382 00:18:08,900 --> 00:18:06,870 on the upper cable channels you know oh 383 00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:08,910 I got abducted I got a probe they did 384 00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:12,450 this they did that you know and I said 385 00:18:16,930 --> 00:18:15,050 oh I can I just come and listen i 386 00:18:22,100 --> 00:18:16,940 half-expected 387 00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:22,110 to go in and meet 35 or 40 people crying 388 00:18:27,860 --> 00:18:25,530 in their coffee that they got probed 389 00:18:31,190 --> 00:18:27,870 okay or they got stuck with an implant 390 00:18:34,790 --> 00:18:31,200 or something I get into this meeting of 391 00:18:36,470 --> 00:18:34,800 the experiencers and there was a hundred 392 00:18:38,810 --> 00:18:36,480 and seventy-five people in there and 393 00:18:41,690 --> 00:18:38,820 this this meeting had all the energy of 394 00:18:45,770 --> 00:18:41,700 a tent revival it was up it was excited 395 00:18:48,350 --> 00:18:45,780 while those offers are cool 396 00:18:50,660 --> 00:18:48,360 it completely opened my eyes to a 397 00:18:53,220 --> 00:18:50,670 different reality that maybe this isn't 398 00:18:56,700 --> 00:18:53,230 what we're being dull 399 00:18:59,700 --> 00:18:56,710 that contact with the ETS is a negative 400 00:19:02,430 --> 00:18:59,710 experience and whitley strieber has 401 00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:02,440 shown us that it's much bigger than we 402 00:19:06,669 --> 00:19:04,730 think it is 403 00:19:08,690 --> 00:19:06,679 John Mackey said it's much bigger than 404 00:19:13,070 --> 00:19:08,700 we think it 405 00:19:16,099 --> 00:19:13,080 and so that's what I think the benefit 406 00:19:17,269 --> 00:19:16,109 is open your mind a little bit you don't 407 00:19:19,249 --> 00:19:17,279 have to believe in every conspiracy 408 00:19:21,499 --> 00:19:19,259 theory out there I don't believe in 409 00:19:23,930 --> 00:19:21,509 every conspiracy theory out there but in 410 00:19:25,940 --> 00:19:23,940 the idea of consciousness and the idea 411 00:19:30,039 --> 00:19:25,950 of a spiritual connection to other 412 00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:30,049 beings of intelligence and compassion a 413 00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:33,330 firm believer in that 414 00:19:38,360 --> 00:19:35,490 there's been evidence of people who have 415 00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:38,370 been cured by the ETS there's been a lot 416 00:19:45,620 --> 00:19:43,290 of evidence of that and the free people 417 00:19:47,930 --> 00:19:45,630 the egg were Mitchell foundation people 418 00:19:50,450 --> 00:19:47,940 they've got lots of documented evidence 419 00:19:52,550 --> 00:19:50,460 of people who said that you know when 420 00:19:55,310 --> 00:19:52,560 after they touch they went from whatever 421 00:19:59,030 --> 00:19:55,320 they were to becoming a very spiritual 422 00:20:01,910 --> 00:19:59,040 almost mystical individual something to 423 00:20:05,450 --> 00:20:01,920 this numbers don't lie I'm a 424 00:20:08,810 --> 00:20:05,460 statistician yes so that's all I have to 425 00:20:10,370 --> 00:20:08,820 offer I think under meaning sample you 426 00:20:15,740 --> 00:20:10,380 talk about 427 00:20:17,899 --> 00:20:15,750 how this fills you I might be good my 428 00:20:21,379 --> 00:20:17,909 college degrees in the arts and it was 429 00:20:23,659 --> 00:20:21,389 achieved later in life okay 430 00:20:27,019 --> 00:20:23,669 in high school I graduated in the bottom 431 00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:27,029 corner of my class I was not a math 432 00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:30,090 person and people who I went to school 433 00:20:35,330 --> 00:20:32,250 with when we published our book a 434 00:20:38,330 --> 00:20:35,340 statistic - said Cheryl where did that 435 00:20:40,370 --> 00:20:38,340 come from and we sometimes hear people 436 00:20:43,299 --> 00:20:40,380 in the creative arts say well sometimes 437 00:20:46,610 --> 00:20:43,309 there's this divine kiss so to speak I 438 00:20:49,850 --> 00:20:46,620 think I had this esoteric download from 439 00:20:52,740 --> 00:20:49,860 someplace and it was suddenly I could do 440 00:20:56,310 --> 00:20:52,750 this okay 441 00:20:58,290 --> 00:20:56,320 and that I think is the important thing 442 00:21:02,060 --> 00:20:58,300 there have been too many instances where 443 00:21:05,910 --> 00:21:02,070 you talk to a playwright or a composer 444 00:21:08,130 --> 00:21:05,920 or an artist and they say I know it's a 445 00:21:13,050 --> 00:21:08,140 lovely piece thank you very much 446 00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:13,060 I didn't really well I did the work it 447 00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:16,570 came from someplace else and this is a 448 00:21:21,180 --> 00:21:18,730 good example of what I'm calling call 449 00:21:23,100 --> 00:21:21,190 the esoteric download from other loving 450 00:21:25,950 --> 00:21:23,110 beings who want to create something 451 00:21:29,820 --> 00:21:25,960 beautiful and let you be the mechanism 452 00:21:31,770 --> 00:21:29,830 to make it you know and there's lots of 453 00:21:33,409 --> 00:21:31,780 examples of this in our culture if you 454 00:21:36,289 --> 00:21:33,419 look at it 455 00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:36,299 and especially child prodigies you know 456 00:21:40,459 --> 00:21:38,129 these five-year-old kids that are 457 00:21:45,499 --> 00:21:40,469 playing Mozart Lee concert pianists you 458 00:21:47,299 --> 00:21:45,509 know that is esoteric download and we've 459 00:21:49,039 --> 00:21:47,309 got enough examples of it and should
