00:08:43,110 --> 00:08:40,640 and 213 00:08:44,949 --> 00:08:43,120 then we decided to open them up to all 214 00:08:47,750 --> 00:08:44,959 the members on the site so we did what 215 00:08:50,630 --> 00:08:47,760 we called a worldwide meetup and that 216 00:08:52,389 --> 00:08:50,640 morphed into you know the more jay and 217 00:08:53,910 --> 00:08:52,399 and sherry and some other members and i 218 00:08:56,310 --> 00:08:53,920 thought the more we felt like we needed 219 00:08:58,949 --> 00:08:56,320 to have an outlet for experiencers and 220 00:09:00,389 --> 00:08:58,959 one of the reasons why too was because 221 00:09:02,710 --> 00:09:00,399 you know 222 00:09:05,910 --> 00:09:02,720 researchers like richard get 223 00:09:08,470 --> 00:09:05,920 tons and tons of 224 00:09:09,670 --> 00:09:08,480 emails and um when they're at a 225 00:09:11,269 --> 00:09:09,680 conference they get approached by 226 00:09:13,030 --> 00:09:11,279 experiencers 227 00:09:15,190 --> 00:09:13,040 who want to talk about their experience 228 00:09:16,630 --> 00:09:15,200 they want to talk to the right person so 229 00:09:19,110 --> 00:09:16,640 there wasn't you know there wasn't a 230 00:09:21,269 --> 00:09:19,120 whole lot of i mean they couldn't handle 231 00:09:23,910 --> 00:09:21,279 all this all these accounts that were 232 00:09:25,509 --> 00:09:23,920 coming in and so um 233 00:09:27,590 --> 00:09:25,519 you know jay came up with this idea of 234 00:09:29,829 --> 00:09:27,600 doing an experiencers meetup so we 235 00:09:33,509 --> 00:09:29,839 started that way and um you know i can 236 00:09:37,750 --> 00:09:33,519 let jay sort of take it from there 237 00:09:39,430 --> 00:09:37,760 sure we we um i mean we 238 00:09:41,509 --> 00:09:39,440 don't forget about that guy when did 239 00:09:43,350 --> 00:09:41,519 stuart come in oh yeah he's coming he's 240 00:09:45,670 --> 00:09:43,360 coming he's coming all right 241 00:09:46,550 --> 00:09:45,680 i'm impatient he's coming 242 00:09:48,230 --> 00:09:46,560 all right 243 00:09:51,269 --> 00:09:48,240 he's off to the side 244 00:09:54,230 --> 00:09:51,279 he's swinging his back he's ready to go 245 00:09:55,910 --> 00:09:54,240 um fair enough so yeah so so richard and 246 00:09:58,230 --> 00:09:55,920 tracy were thinking like what do we do 247 00:10:00,389 --> 00:09:58,240 about the experiencers like how can we 248 00:10:01,670 --> 00:10:00,399 how can how can this work out 249 00:10:09,030 --> 00:10:01,680 and 250 00:10:10,470 --> 00:10:09,040 doing some meetups just for experiencers 251 00:10:12,150 --> 00:10:10,480 of all kinds 252 00:10:15,110 --> 00:10:12,160 no matter what uh out of body 253 00:10:17,110 --> 00:10:15,120 experiencers near-death experiencers the 254 00:10:19,030 --> 00:10:17,120 the whole gamut because 255 00:10:22,310 --> 00:10:19,040 i think one of the things that a lot of 256 00:10:25,829 --> 00:10:22,320 people in ufology don't realize is that 257 00:10:26,870 --> 00:10:25,839 a lot of experiencers 258 00:10:27,750 --> 00:10:26,880 uh 259 00:10:30,550 --> 00:10:27,760 have 260 00:10:33,190 --> 00:10:30,560 encounters in more than one modality 261 00:10:35,910 --> 00:10:33,200 and that used to be like a really taboo 262 00:10:37,829 --> 00:10:35,920 topic to bring up and it's more coming 263 00:10:40,230 --> 00:10:37,839 to the fore now that 264 00:10:41,509 --> 00:10:40,240 that if you experience one modality 265 00:10:43,190 --> 00:10:41,519 there is 266 00:10:45,430 --> 00:10:43,200 a lot of likelihood that you may 267 00:10:46,550 --> 00:10:45,440 experience another one 268 00:10:47,350 --> 00:10:46,560 and so 269 00:10:50,870 --> 00:10:47,360 in 270 00:10:53,430 --> 00:10:50,880 people we recognize that 271 00:10:55,350 --> 00:10:53,440 and so we proposed immediately having 272 00:10:57,509 --> 00:10:55,360 two groups because we realized that 273 00:10:58,710 --> 00:10:57,519 there was a lot of need 274 00:11:02,470 --> 00:10:58,720 and so 275 00:11:05,829 --> 00:11:02,480 one of them was mainly people that 276 00:11:08,150 --> 00:11:05,839 had um non-human entity encounters like 277 00:11:09,670 --> 00:11:08,160 abductees and things like that 278 00:11:11,990 --> 00:11:09,680 and um 279 00:11:12,870 --> 00:11:12,000 and because 280 00:11:14,790 --> 00:11:12,880 we 281 00:11:17,110 --> 00:11:14,800 those needs the needs for those people 282 00:11:18,710 --> 00:11:17,120 are really different right yeah they're 283 00:11:19,590 --> 00:11:18,720 a little they can be a little different 284 00:11:21,509 --> 00:11:19,600 and 285 00:11:24,069 --> 00:11:21,519 we recognized immediately that we didn't 286 00:11:25,509 --> 00:11:24,079 want to there to be 287 00:11:26,949 --> 00:11:25,519 um 288 00:11:30,069 --> 00:11:26,959 that it could be 289 00:11:32,550 --> 00:11:30,079 no pun intended but alienating to have 290 00:11:35,030 --> 00:11:32,560 everybody together considering that the 291 00:11:37,110 --> 00:11:35,040 very specific needs of the kind of 292 00:11:39,269 --> 00:11:37,120 ontological shock and trauma that can 293 00:11:40,630 --> 00:11:39,279 happen for abductees and other people 294 00:11:44,550 --> 00:11:40,640 like that 295 00:11:46,230 --> 00:11:44,560 so we did two groups immediately and 296 00:11:48,150 --> 00:11:46,240 i you know 297 00:11:49,350 --> 00:11:48,160 according to 298 00:11:52,949 --> 00:11:49,360 myself 299 00:11:55,190 --> 00:11:52,959 and most and folks involved like i it 300 00:11:57,509 --> 00:11:55,200 it just there was so much energy right 301 00:12:00,069 --> 00:11:57,519 at the outset right at the outside there 302 00:12:02,470 --> 00:12:00,079 is so much energy and stewart 303 00:12:04,389 --> 00:12:02,480 who i'd love to bring in 304 00:12:07,509 --> 00:12:04,399 was right there in the very first 305 00:12:10,629 --> 00:12:07,519 meeting of of non-human entities like 306 00:12:11,509 --> 00:12:10,639 our original group 2 meeting 307 00:12:13,269 --> 00:12:11,519 um 308 00:12:17,430 --> 00:12:13,279 stewart would you like to say anything 309 00:12:19,829 --> 00:12:18,790 well i 310 00:12:22,310 --> 00:12:19,839 i 311 00:12:25,590 --> 00:12:22,320 up 312 00:12:27,430 --> 00:12:25,600 the emotional component to people coming 313 00:12:28,870 --> 00:12:27,440 forward and 314 00:12:30,230 --> 00:12:28,880 speaking maybe that was behind the 315 00:12:31,509 --> 00:12:30,240 curtain before we came live on the show 316 00:12:33,590 --> 00:12:31,519 but you mentioned the emotion and i 317 00:12:34,790 --> 00:12:33,600 think that that's such a central aspect 318 00:12:38,150 --> 00:12:34,800 to 319 00:12:41,110 --> 00:12:38,160 what an experience or his process is 320 00:12:43,269 --> 00:12:41,120 first in admitting to themselves what 321 00:12:45,110 --> 00:12:43,279 may have transpired 322 00:12:46,629 --> 00:12:45,120 and 323 00:12:49,590 --> 00:12:46,639 further going 324 00:12:51,350 --> 00:12:49,600 as jay related so beautifully in his 325 00:12:53,269 --> 00:12:51,360 account of sharing for the first time 326 00:12:55,670 --> 00:12:53,279 with anyone what it is to say it out 327 00:12:59,829 --> 00:12:55,680 loud is 328 00:13:01,269 --> 00:12:59,839 such an impactful moment and when these 329 00:13:03,350 --> 00:13:01,279 initial meetup groups were happening 330 00:13:05,509 --> 00:13:03,360 with richard dolan i think that one of 331 00:13:07,590 --> 00:13:05,519 the kinetic 332 00:13:10,150 --> 00:13:07,600 emergence and those groups is that you 333 00:13:12,470 --> 00:13:10,160 get to see and feel 334 00:13:14,069 --> 00:13:12,480 the empathetic resonance with these 335 00:13:15,910 --> 00:13:14,079 other human beings 336 00:13:17,430 --> 00:13:15,920 it happens on zoom it happens in real 337 00:13:18,949 --> 00:13:17,440 time and you can feel like oh my gosh 338 00:13:21,269 --> 00:13:18,959 someone really 339 00:13:22,310 --> 00:13:21,279 is feeling me is getting this and they 340 00:13:24,310 --> 00:13:22,320 know 341 00:13:26,870 --> 00:13:24,320 of what i speak perhaps not in the 342 00:13:28,389 --> 00:13:26,880 duplicate identical form but 343 00:13:29,829 --> 00:13:28,399 everyone's been there in some form or 344 00:13:32,550 --> 00:13:29,839 another so 345 00:13:34,389 --> 00:13:32,560 when i came to those initial meetups it 346 00:13:36,389 --> 00:13:34,399 seemed to be 347 00:13:39,350 --> 00:13:36,399 closing a loop on a question that had 348 00:13:41,350 --> 00:13:39,360 been open in my life for decades because 349 00:13:43,829 --> 00:13:41,360 for me this goes back to 350 00:13:46,470 --> 00:13:43,839 you know decades back john mack knowing 351 00:13:48,949 --> 00:13:46,480 the experiencers he introduced me to 352 00:13:50,389 --> 00:13:48,959 becoming one myself later on in life and 353 00:13:52,389 --> 00:13:50,399 i think that jane kirsten and i just 354 00:13:55,269 --> 00:13:52,399 kind of looked at each other and thought 355 00:13:57,910 --> 00:13:55,279 right away wow why isn't this 356 00:14:00,230 --> 00:13:57,920 totally a thing all over the planet why 357 00:14:03,350 --> 00:14:00,240 isn't this more 358 00:14:05,829 --> 00:14:03,360 centrally organized or located like a 359 00:14:07,350 --> 00:14:05,839 a haven you can walk into easily and 360 00:14:09,430 --> 00:14:07,360 know you're among 361 00:14:11,750 --> 00:14:09,440 friends and you're safe and it's 362 00:14:13,829 --> 00:14:11,760 discreet so that's how i entered into 363 00:14:15,189 --> 00:14:13,839 the picture i fell in love right away i 364 00:14:17,910 --> 00:14:15,199 mean you're right you take one look at 365 00:14:19,910 --> 00:14:17,920 jay and then you take a look at kirsten 366 00:14:21,750 --> 00:14:19,920 and you just drape your arms around the 367 00:14:24,230 --> 00:14:21,760 two of them and you let them carry you 368 00:14:27,030 --> 00:14:24,240 forward into the night 369 00:14:28,949 --> 00:14:27,040 that's kind of what happened spiritually 370 00:14:31,590 --> 00:14:28,959 well so far i mean i've picked up on 371 00:14:32,710 --> 00:14:31,600 some really really great things um the 372 00:14:34,870 --> 00:14:32,720 first one 373 00:14:37,189 --> 00:14:34,880 jay you talked about having 374 00:14:40,150 --> 00:14:37,199 you know kind of almost different 375 00:14:41,269 --> 00:14:40,160 sections of this where one that 376 00:14:44,310 --> 00:14:41,279 has seen 377 00:14:47,430 --> 00:14:44,320 uh beings or entities um and right away 378 00:14:50,310 --> 00:14:47,440 i thought that's awesome because if you 379 00:14:51,910 --> 00:14:50,320 know if i was involved in this i 380 00:14:54,470 --> 00:14:51,920 wouldn't feel 381 00:14:57,030 --> 00:14:54,480 a part of that because i haven't really 382 00:14:59,509 --> 00:14:57,040 you know like my experience was more 383 00:15:01,910 --> 00:14:59,519 like dream relating consciousness and 384 00:15:03,829 --> 00:15:01,920 seeing things around it and 385 00:15:06,790 --> 00:15:03,839 you know it'd be hard to 386 00:15:08,629 --> 00:15:06,800 relate or express yourself and then stew 387 00:15:10,710 --> 00:15:08,639 the emotional aspect of this and 388 00:15:12,470 --> 00:15:10,720 mentioning it sorry i call you stu i 389 00:15:13,910 --> 00:15:12,480 know a couple of students i'll call you 390 00:15:16,389 --> 00:15:13,920 stuart 391 00:15:19,990 --> 00:15:16,399 you can say steal it's fine okay all 392 00:15:25,910 --> 00:15:23,350 you can call me scene that's fine 393 00:15:28,949 --> 00:15:25,920 but yeah the emotional aspect of it um 394 00:15:31,990 --> 00:15:28,959 the first time that um i said it out 395 00:15:36,150 --> 00:15:32,000 loud was on this very 396 00:15:38,069 --> 00:15:36,160 this very uh cast and it was so 397 00:15:40,550 --> 00:15:38,079 like kind of emotional i wound up having 398 00:15:42,629 --> 00:15:40,560 a i just took it down 399 00:15:44,949 --> 00:15:42,639 um and then debated with putting it back 400 00:15:46,949 --> 00:15:44,959 up and then going back and forth and 401 00:15:48,949 --> 00:15:46,959 um it's just a hard thing to accept you 402 00:15:51,269 --> 00:15:48,959 know at this point i'm fully 403 00:15:53,189 --> 00:15:51,279 accepting of it but it wasn't easy so i 404 00:15:55,110 --> 00:15:53,199 appreciate you guys you know hitting 405 00:15:56,870 --> 00:15:55,120 home on those points because i think 406 00:15:59,269 --> 00:15:56,880 it's important so 407 00:16:00,710 --> 00:15:59,279 i didn't mean to interrupt stuart but um 408 00:16:03,269 --> 00:16:00,720 if somebody wants to pick it up and go 409 00:16:06,389 --> 00:16:03,279 from there um i guess 410 00:16:09,829 --> 00:16:08,710 yeah i guess my next question would be 411 00:16:12,310 --> 00:16:09,839 um 412 00:16:15,509 --> 00:16:12,320 how soon did you know that you were 413 00:16:18,550 --> 00:16:15,519 really on to something and wanted to 414 00:16:19,749 --> 00:16:18,560 see it blossom even more 415 00:16:21,670 --> 00:16:19,759 well 416 00:16:23,430 --> 00:16:21,680 it was such like a really specific 417 00:16:25,910 --> 00:16:23,440 period of time you know we're talking 418 00:16:28,150 --> 00:16:25,920 about the early pandemic right 419 00:16:29,749 --> 00:16:28,160 and yeah right and of course which we're 420 00:16:32,389 --> 00:16:29,759 still kind of in feeling the effects of 421 00:16:34,870 --> 00:16:32,399 that right and i would say 422 00:16:37,110 --> 00:16:34,880 and when we started doing these meetings 423 00:16:39,350 --> 00:16:37,120 pretty much everyone was in a lockdown 424 00:16:40,550 --> 00:16:39,360 or kind of work from home situation 425 00:16:42,389 --> 00:16:40,560 still 426 00:16:44,069 --> 00:16:42,399 and people needed to talk they needed to 427 00:16:46,790 --> 00:16:44,079 meet people 428 00:16:47,829 --> 00:16:46,800 just and we all remember how that was 429 00:16:51,030 --> 00:16:47,839 right 430 00:16:53,749 --> 00:16:51,040 and i think that the stress of people 431 00:16:55,749 --> 00:16:53,759 the stress of the future and the 432 00:16:58,710 --> 00:16:55,759 unknowingness of what we were getting 433 00:17:02,069 --> 00:16:58,720 ourselves into back then mixed with the 434 00:17:05,750 --> 00:17:02,079 stress for experiencers of keeping these 435 00:17:08,069 --> 00:17:05,760 encounters these these situations secret 436 00:17:09,829 --> 00:17:08,079 you know there was an internal and an 437 00:17:12,309 --> 00:17:09,839 external pressure 438 00:17:14,390 --> 00:17:12,319 that i think pretty much everyone was 439 00:17:15,350 --> 00:17:14,400 feeling in their own unique ways back 440 00:17:17,110 --> 00:17:15,360 then 441 00:17:18,870 --> 00:17:17,120 and probably so are 442 00:17:22,309 --> 00:17:18,880 but i think 443 00:17:24,390 --> 00:17:22,319 that there was an a unique color to that 444 00:17:27,750 --> 00:17:24,400 for experiencers 445 00:17:31,110 --> 00:17:27,760 in our situation that 446 00:17:33,430 --> 00:17:31,120 really brought a spotlight to 447 00:17:35,270 --> 00:17:33,440 something that needed to happen 448 00:17:38,630 --> 00:17:35,280 you know these sessions would go all 449 00:17:40,950 --> 00:17:38,640 over the place long sprawling 450 00:17:42,870 --> 00:17:40,960 amazing discussions some of them would 451 00:17:44,789 --> 00:17:42,880 as kirsten was saying they would run 452 00:17:47,190 --> 00:17:44,799 five hours sometimes longer sometimes 453 00:17:49,190 --> 00:17:47,200 six hours and of course that was 454 00:17:51,750 --> 00:17:49,200 something that before the pandemic or 455 00:17:53,510 --> 00:17:51,760 maybe even now where we are right now it 456 00:17:55,669 --> 00:17:53,520 wouldn't be really able to happen but 457 00:17:58,070 --> 00:17:55,679 right then that kind of 458 00:17:58,830 --> 00:17:58,080 that that there was there was an opening 459 00:18:01,430 --> 00:17:58,840 there 460 00:18:05,430 --> 00:18:01,440 that felt 461 00:18:06,470 --> 00:18:05,440 needed and necessary 462 00:18:07,270 --> 00:18:06,480 um 463 00:18:09,430 --> 00:18:07,280 and 464 00:18:11,110 --> 00:18:09,440 uh we were dealing with some like really 465 00:18:13,430 --> 00:18:11,120 tough cases we were dealing with some 466 00:18:15,830 --> 00:18:13,440 really amazing you know some people 467 00:18:18,870 --> 00:18:15,840 that it's just all like cosmic high 468 00:18:21,270 --> 00:18:18,880 fives right like 469 00:18:23,029 --> 00:18:21,280 a hundred percent of the time you know 470 00:18:24,950 --> 00:18:23,039 that it just it just feels like 471 00:18:26,549 --> 00:18:24,960 everything is it's smooth sailing and 472 00:18:27,669 --> 00:18:26,559 then there are some tough cases you know 473 00:18:29,990 --> 00:18:27,679 people that 474 00:18:31,270 --> 00:18:30,000 couldn't get rid of like poltergeist 475 00:18:33,590 --> 00:18:31,280 type energy 476 00:18:34,950 --> 00:18:33,600 yeah stuff like that people that had 477 00:18:37,990 --> 00:18:34,960 really deep 478 00:18:40,310 --> 00:18:38,000 trauma from abduction encounters 479 00:18:44,230 --> 00:18:40,320 and stuart has a private practice doing 480 00:18:49,669 --> 00:18:47,029 and was a 481 00:18:51,830 --> 00:18:49,679 vitally important person in those early 482 00:18:53,510 --> 00:18:51,840 private meetup sessions 483 00:18:55,350 --> 00:18:53,520 so chris and i were like let's get 484 00:18:57,029 --> 00:18:55,360 stuart on a call 485 00:18:59,110 --> 00:18:57,039 and pick his brain 486 00:19:02,230 --> 00:18:59,120 about what we can do 487 00:19:03,830 --> 00:19:02,240 to help out with these tough cases 488 00:19:05,590 --> 00:19:03,840 where it seems like 489 00:19:07,029 --> 00:19:05,600 it needs to go further 490 00:19:08,470 --> 00:19:07,039 if there's a way we can point point to 491 00:19:09,909 --> 00:19:08,480 resources 492 00:19:11,350 --> 00:19:09,919 that's great you didn't just throw in 493 00:19:12,630 --> 00:19:11,360 the towel because a lot of people would 494 00:19:14,470 --> 00:19:12,640 have at that point 495 00:19:15,590 --> 00:19:14,480 and said that's a little too much for me 496 00:19:18,070 --> 00:19:15,600 you know 497 00:19:20,070 --> 00:19:18,080 yeah and i think that that's that's 498 00:19:22,390 --> 00:19:20,080 where it's been for a lot of people for 499 00:19:25,270 --> 00:19:22,400 years for maybe decades 500 00:19:28,470 --> 00:19:25,280 and researchers themselves ufologist 501 00:19:29,909 --> 00:19:28,480 researchers are often in that boat too 502 00:19:32,710 --> 00:19:29,919 because 503 00:19:34,230 --> 00:19:32,720 frankly a lot of them are they're okay 504 00:19:36,070 --> 00:19:34,240 with the history they're okay with 505 00:19:38,310 --> 00:19:36,080 document finding they're okay with 506 00:19:39,669 --> 00:19:38,320 trying to pull things together but some 507 00:19:41,430 --> 00:19:39,679 of them don't necessarily have the 508 00:19:42,950 --> 00:19:41,440 emotional toolbox to deal with these 509 00:19:45,750 --> 00:19:42,960 kinds of cases 510 00:19:46,710 --> 00:19:45,760 you know it's a very specific skill set 511 00:19:56,630 --> 00:19:46,720 and 512 00:19:57,590 --> 00:19:56,640 stewart was at the top of the list 513 00:20:00,150 --> 00:19:57,600 and so 514 00:20:01,350 --> 00:20:00,160 uh we organized this uh we just had the 515 00:20:02,390 --> 00:20:01,360 zoom call 516 00:20:04,789 --> 00:20:02,400 and 517 00:20:07,029 --> 00:20:04,799 it became like a really kind of pivotal 518 00:20:09,430 --> 00:20:07,039 moment i guess i don't know if kirsten 519 00:20:11,190 --> 00:20:09,440 or stewart would like to comment on that 520 00:20:15,350 --> 00:20:11,200 but how that went 521 00:20:19,430 --> 00:20:16,950 i we did we 522 00:20:22,549 --> 00:20:19,440 we were going back and forth together on 523 00:20:25,029 --> 00:20:22,559 this with this particular problem um 524 00:20:26,630 --> 00:20:25,039 and and stuart definitely was on the top 525 00:20:28,549 --> 00:20:26,640 of the list and when we got on on the 526 00:20:30,630 --> 00:20:28,559 calls with him i think there were more 527 00:20:32,230 --> 00:20:30,640 than one but one in particular where we 528 00:20:36,789 --> 00:20:32,240 just kind of felt like 529 00:20:40,230 --> 00:20:36,799 um okay maybe this needs to be its own 530 00:20:42,870 --> 00:20:40,240 thing and maybe something maybe we can 531 00:20:43,669 --> 00:20:42,880 work with this and expand it if we do 532 00:20:47,190 --> 00:20:43,679 this 533 00:20:49,270 --> 00:20:47,200 for experiencers specifically um 534 00:20:50,310 --> 00:20:49,280 and that was sort of this moment i think 535 00:20:53,350 --> 00:20:50,320 we can 536 00:20:54,870 --> 00:20:53,360 all agree was this kind of aha moment 537 00:20:55,990 --> 00:20:54,880 of inspiration 538 00:20:59,110 --> 00:20:56,000 um where 539 00:21:00,789 --> 00:20:59,120 we felt like this little baby was being 540 00:21:02,950 --> 00:21:00,799 birthed and 541 00:21:05,430 --> 00:21:02,960 and then everything started to fall into 542 00:21:07,510 --> 00:21:05,440 place i think i 543 00:21:09,669 --> 00:21:07,520 really did it really did and stuart i'd 544 00:21:13,110 --> 00:21:09,679 love to get your thoughts on this too 545 00:21:16,470 --> 00:21:15,110 yeah i completely concur 546 00:21:19,510 --> 00:21:16,480 i think that it was 547 00:21:21,190 --> 00:21:19,520 an exercise of the three of us really 548 00:21:22,390 --> 00:21:21,200 just listening 549 00:21:23,990 --> 00:21:22,400 almost 550 00:21:25,270 --> 00:21:24,000 in a 551 00:21:28,070 --> 00:21:25,280 day-to-day 552 00:21:30,870 --> 00:21:28,080 a few weeks probably we spent 553 00:21:31,990 --> 00:21:30,880 in a meditative kind of listening and 554 00:21:34,470 --> 00:21:32,000 feeling 555 00:21:36,630 --> 00:21:34,480 about what is it that really would help 556 00:21:37,430 --> 00:21:36,640 experiences where are 557 00:21:39,909 --> 00:21:37,440 the 558 00:21:40,789 --> 00:21:39,919 voids and craters 559 00:21:42,630 --> 00:21:40,799 and 560 00:21:45,590 --> 00:21:42,640 if they were to 561 00:21:47,909 --> 00:21:45,600 assemble a menu of helpful items 562 00:21:49,190 --> 00:21:47,919 and presents to us how could we respond 563 00:21:51,430 --> 00:21:49,200 then by 564 00:21:54,950 --> 00:21:51,440 putting together a place in a community 565 00:21:56,549 --> 00:21:54,960 that expressly from day one 566 00:21:59,029 --> 00:21:56,559 had those pieces 567 00:22:01,190 --> 00:21:59,039 in play so 568 00:22:02,789 --> 00:22:01,200 that's what we felt inspired to do 569 00:22:04,310 --> 00:22:02,799 immediately this is really one of those 570 00:22:06,870 --> 00:22:04,320 situations and sean i'm sure you can 571 00:22:09,430 --> 00:22:06,880 relate to it it's like oftentimes we 572 00:22:11,909 --> 00:22:09,440 build the things that we wish deeply to 573 00:22:13,830 --> 00:22:11,919 exist in the world right we we make the 574 00:22:14,710 --> 00:22:13,840 arts or we build the community that we 575 00:22:16,310 --> 00:22:14,720 need 576 00:22:17,909 --> 00:22:16,320 i i can't speak 577 00:22:19,190 --> 00:22:17,919 kirsten beyond the fact that i do think 578 00:22:20,230 --> 00:22:19,200 all three of us 579 00:22:22,390 --> 00:22:20,240 were 580 00:22:23,990 --> 00:22:22,400 deeply desirous of 581 00:22:25,190 --> 00:22:24,000 this kind of community this kind of 582 00:22:28,310 --> 00:22:25,200 connection 583 00:22:30,149 --> 00:22:28,320 some of it being really simple no trolls 584 00:22:31,270 --> 00:22:30,159 no mean-spiritedness 585 00:22:33,430 --> 00:22:31,280 none of that 586 00:22:34,950 --> 00:22:33,440 chicanery underhandedness 587 00:22:36,870 --> 00:22:34,960 you don't have to agree with everyone at 588 00:22:38,789 --> 00:22:36,880 all but there's no 589 00:22:42,070 --> 00:22:38,799 assassination and attacking 590 00:22:44,230 --> 00:22:42,080 and the spirit of it you know love is in 591 00:22:45,830 --> 00:22:44,240 our mission statement for the 592 00:22:47,430 --> 00:22:45,840 experiencer group 593 00:22:49,990 --> 00:22:47,440 i think all three of us 594 00:22:52,149 --> 00:22:50,000 feel as committed and exuberant about 595 00:22:54,789 --> 00:22:52,159 that as we did day one 596 00:22:56,549 --> 00:22:54,799 so really yeah building the experience 597 00:22:58,549 --> 00:22:56,559 of group community was just listening 598 00:22:59,590 --> 00:22:58,559 what our experience are saying what do 599 00:23:02,870 --> 00:22:59,600 they wish 600 00:23:04,310 --> 00:23:02,880 was there that isn't and how can we help 601 00:23:05,750 --> 00:23:04,320 formulate that 602 00:23:07,029 --> 00:23:05,760 and you're right like like you had 603 00:23:09,110 --> 00:23:07,039 touched on there once you start doing 604 00:23:10,310 --> 00:23:09,120 that you follow that passion and your 605 00:23:12,070 --> 00:23:10,320 soul's 606 00:23:14,149 --> 00:23:12,080 an integer in the equation if not the 607 00:23:17,669 --> 00:23:14,159 whole equation itself 608 00:23:19,350 --> 00:23:17,679 the response from the universe from your 609 00:23:23,909 --> 00:23:19,360 local neighborhood 610 00:23:27,590 --> 00:23:25,830 i can say in all my 611 00:23:30,710 --> 00:23:27,600 years playing music writing music 612 00:23:34,149 --> 00:23:30,720 recording performing all of that um i 613 00:23:35,190 --> 00:23:34,159 have never had as much positive feedback 614 00:23:37,110 --> 00:23:35,200 as i 615 00:23:39,270 --> 00:23:37,120 have doing this 616 00:23:40,950 --> 00:23:39,280 you know it's it's 617 00:23:43,909 --> 00:23:40,960 and i wouldn't be here without 618 00:23:46,070 --> 00:23:43,919 coronavirus i literally had a brand new 619 00:23:48,390 --> 00:23:46,080 record that i pressed for the very first 620 00:23:50,230 --> 00:23:48,400 time

00:25:36,159 along with what stewart was just saying 667 00:25:41,909 --> 00:25:38,960 just in setting things up just setting 668 00:25:44,950 --> 00:25:41,919 these parameters up setting the site up 669 00:25:47,430 --> 00:25:44,960 um that happened over january and we 670 00:25:48,230 --> 00:25:47,440 opened the doors privately to 671 00:25:52,149 --> 00:25:48,240 uh 672 00:25:55,750 --> 00:25:52,159 a beta group of people a group of people 673 00:25:57,110 --> 00:25:55,760 we invited it was only maybe 100 people 674 00:25:58,710 --> 00:25:57,120 at most 675 00:26:02,070 --> 00:25:58,720 of which 676 00:26:04,070 --> 00:26:02,080 about 60 or 70 participated in that very 677 00:26:05,190 --> 00:26:04,080 first month or something like that 678 00:26:06,870 --> 00:26:05,200 um but 679 00:26:08,630 --> 00:26:06,880 even within those first couple months 680 00:26:14,149 --> 00:26:08,640 there was 681 00:26:16,710 --> 00:26:14,159 and i don't mean to sound 682 00:26:20,149 --> 00:26:16,720 big here but there's a lot of like 683 00:26:21,669 --> 00:26:20,159 intellectual firepower coming in hot 684 00:26:23,990 --> 00:26:21,679 right at the outset 685 00:26:26,390 --> 00:26:24,000 it felt like and we don't we don't 686 00:26:28,710 --> 00:26:26,400 mention a lot of names in terms of and 687 00:26:29,830 --> 00:26:28,720 we have a policy where we don't out our 688 00:26:31,510 --> 00:26:29,840 members 689 00:26:33,110 --> 00:26:31,520 um sure 690 00:26:34,470 --> 00:26:33,120 to the largest it should be up to them 691 00:26:35,430 --> 00:26:34,480 definitely 692 00:26:38,070 --> 00:26:35,440 100 693 00:26:41,110 --> 00:26:38,080 and and so along with that we have very 694 00:26:42,950 --> 00:26:41,120 strict privacy standards so we don't 695 00:26:44,630 --> 00:26:42,960 there's only so much we can say about 696 00:26:48,070 --> 00:26:44,640 that in a way but 697 00:26:49,110 --> 00:26:48,080 but suffice to say that other people 698 00:26:51,590 --> 00:26:49,120 that are 699 00:26:53,750 --> 00:26:51,600 significant in this community that other 700 00:26:56,470 --> 00:26:53,760 people might know 701 00:26:58,950 --> 00:26:56,480 resonated with the idea that that this 702 00:27:00,149 --> 00:26:58,960 was something that was deeply needed for 703 00:27:01,669 --> 00:27:00,159 a very 704 00:27:03,430 --> 00:27:01,679 very long time 705 00:27:04,870 --> 00:27:03,440 there's been other there's been other 706 00:27:07,190 --> 00:27:04,880 groups of course 707 00:27:10,070 --> 00:27:07,200 that have met in real life and even 708 00:27:12,710 --> 00:27:10,080 online and things like that but 709 00:27:14,149 --> 00:27:12,720 for me personally as an abductee and 710 00:27:16,230 --> 00:27:14,159 experiencer 711 00:27:18,389 --> 00:27:16,240 where did i go when i was in my 20s in 712 00:27:20,630 --> 00:27:18,399 the aunts right where i looked at places 713 00:27:22,549 --> 00:27:20,640 like above top secret i looked at places 714 00:27:24,950 --> 00:27:22,559 like project avalon 715 00:27:25,750 --> 00:27:24,960 and and things like that and 716 00:27:27,990 --> 00:27:25,760 and 717 00:27:32,230 --> 00:27:28,000 um there could be good discussions there 718 00:27:35,029 --> 00:27:32,240 but the as we all know these topics 719 00:27:37,350 --> 00:27:35,039 ufology in general and especially 720 00:27:40,070 --> 00:27:37,360 anything that involves somebody having 721 00:27:43,269 --> 00:27:40,080 an actual experience for whatever reason 722 00:27:44,470 --> 00:27:43,279 it can become a toxic conversation 723 00:27:48,870 --> 00:27:44,480 so fast 724 00:27:51,029 --> 00:27:48,880 and and so we recognized that 725 00:27:52,389 --> 00:27:51,039 like there needed to be a place and 726 00:27:54,230 --> 00:27:52,399 other people 727 00:27:55,909 --> 00:27:54,240 um that that 728 00:27:59,110 --> 00:27:55,919 are much more 729 00:28:01,430 --> 00:27:59,120 decorated than me 730 00:28:03,350 --> 00:28:01,440 um felt the same way i guess 731 00:28:07,269 --> 00:28:03,360 and so we had a lot of special guests 732 00:28:09,909 --> 00:28:07,279 and and early important members and 733 00:28:11,269 --> 00:28:09,919 leslie kane was one of those people and 734 00:28:12,789 --> 00:28:11,279 um 735 00:28:15,350 --> 00:28:12,799 and she 736 00:28:16,549 --> 00:28:15,360 um she attended some really key early 737 00:28:17,669 --> 00:28:16,559 meetups 738 00:28:21,830 --> 00:28:17,679 and 739 00:28:23,590 --> 00:28:21,840 i think may have contributed to the 740 00:28:26,070 --> 00:28:23,600 relationship with ralph 741 00:28:27,830 --> 00:28:26,080 i don't know if uh stuart or kirsten 742 00:28:30,070 --> 00:28:27,840 would like to speak on that but 743 00:28:31,990 --> 00:28:30,080 leslie was also a guest on stewart's 744 00:28:34,470 --> 00:28:32,000 wonderful podcast aliens and artists 745 00:28:35,909 --> 00:28:34,480 yeah i heard that right around then 746 00:28:38,710 --> 00:28:35,919 she's my favorite 747 00:28:40,070 --> 00:28:38,720 for sure she's she's great 748 00:28:41,750 --> 00:28:40,080 i've never met her but just like 749 00:28:44,250 --> 00:28:41,760 listening to her reader own books and 750 00:28:46,310 --> 00:28:44,260 that podcast like i love this girl 751 00:28:48,310 --> 00:28:46,320 [Laughter] 752 00:28:51,510 --> 00:28:48,320 she's amazing 753 00:28:55,909 --> 00:28:51,520 uh and she's such a she's like a bright 754 00:28:58,070 --> 00:28:57,190 she's such like 755 00:29:11,510 --> 00:28:58,080 an 756 00:29:14,149 --> 00:29:11,520 about 757 00:29:15,510 --> 00:29:14,159 how to present things in a way 758 00:29:17,269 --> 00:29:15,520 that 759 00:29:19,510 --> 00:29:17,279 really reaches people 760 00:29:20,549 --> 00:29:19,520 and i think that that's incredibly 761 00:29:23,590 --> 00:29:20,559 important 762 00:29:27,510 --> 00:29:25,750 and we recognize the challenges there i 763 00:29:29,190 --> 00:29:27,520 think kirsten and stewart recognize as 764 00:29:32,389 --> 00:29:29,200 well that that 765 00:29:35,510 --> 00:29:32,399 this there's a lot of rough edges to 766 00:29:37,269 --> 00:29:35,520 experience her life there's a lot of 767 00:29:38,789 --> 00:29:37,279 things that are difficult for people to 768 00:29:40,630 --> 00:29:38,799 wrap their heads around 769 00:29:41,990 --> 00:29:40,640 there's a lot that 770 00:29:43,269 --> 00:29:42,000 that 771 00:29:44,870 --> 00:29:43,279 there's a lot of 772 00:29:47,750 --> 00:29:44,880 of 773 00:29:49,029 --> 00:29:47,760 experiential hurdles 774 00:29:51,990 --> 00:29:49,039 in terms of 775 00:29:53,669 --> 00:29:52,000 what is my life like versus what is this 776 00:29:54,549 --> 00:29:53,679 person's life like 777 00:30:00,870 --> 00:29:54,559 that 778 00:30:03,110 --> 00:30:00,880 feels like it exists sometimes between 779 00:30:04,070 --> 00:30:03,120 consensus reality and experience your 780 00:30:07,110 --> 00:30:04,080 life 781 00:30:09,669 --> 00:30:07,120 it feels like a lot of us have 782 00:30:12,070 --> 00:30:09,679 feet in two different worlds right 783 00:30:15,269 --> 00:30:12,080 and oh my god and 784 00:30:17,110 --> 00:30:15,279 leslie does a great job of articulating 785 00:30:18,950 --> 00:30:17,120 this kind of middle space 786 00:30:21,510 --> 00:30:18,960 where you can have legs 787 00:30:22,789 --> 00:30:21,520 and a body on top of those two different 788 00:30:23,830 --> 00:30:22,799 worlds 789 00:30:25,830 --> 00:30:23,840 um 790 00:30:28,070 --> 00:30:25,840 yeah uh yeah 791 00:30:30,630 --> 00:30:28,080 and i think like 792 00:30:34,630 --> 00:30:30,640 empathy is is huge especially for the 793 00:30:37,590 --> 00:30:34,640 people who haven't had experiences hey 794 00:30:39,590 --> 00:30:37,600 you should not feel like left out 795 00:30:42,070 --> 00:30:39,600 or not a part of anything because you 796 00:30:44,230 --> 00:30:42,080 didn't have an experience or you're not 797 00:30:47,190 --> 00:30:44,240 this person or that person because you 798 00:30:49,590 --> 00:30:47,200 didn't like that means nothing you know 799 00:30:51,510 --> 00:30:49,600 you are a human being and you have a 800 00:30:54,230 --> 00:30:51,520 beautiful soul that you can take 801 00:30:56,389 --> 00:30:54,240 advantage of just like the experiencers 802 00:30:58,149 --> 00:30:56,399 and people have had experiences or 803 00:30:58,870 --> 00:30:58,159 experiences um 804 00:31:01,669 --> 00:30:58,880 but 805 00:31:04,549 --> 00:31:01,679 uh one thing if you haven't and you may 806 00:31:06,149 --> 00:31:04,559 feel weird about it when you listen 807 00:31:08,070 --> 00:31:06,159 i would you know and i'm talking to 808 00:31:08,950 --> 00:31:08,080 those people i guess but 809 00:31:11,430 --> 00:31:08,960 um 810 00:31:12,310 --> 00:31:11,440 realize that at least for people like me 811 00:31:16,549 --> 00:31:12,320 um 812 00:31:18,230 --> 00:31:16,559 thinking about it 813 00:31:21,029 --> 00:31:18,240 you know and every day it's something 814 00:31:23,430 --> 00:31:21,039 that i'm not sure i'll figure out 815 00:31:25,269 --> 00:31:23,440 you know so i have to live with that and 816 00:31:26,070 --> 00:31:25,279 i wouldn't 817 00:31:30,630 --> 00:31:26,080 i 818 00:31:32,310 --> 00:31:30,640 anyone else you know 819 00:31:33,430 --> 00:31:32,320 so 820 00:31:35,509 --> 00:31:33,440 headsets 821 00:31:36,630 --> 00:31:35,519 it's a difficult thing there's there's 822 00:31:38,389 --> 00:31:36,640 there's 823 00:31:40,389 --> 00:31:38,399 it seems like this is 824 00:31:43,509 --> 00:31:40,399 having these conversations needs to 825 00:31:45,909 --> 00:31:43,519 happen not just top down not just 826 00:31:47,669 --> 00:31:45,919 as we're kind of trained to do since the 827 00:31:49,509 --> 00:31:47,679 project blue book phase where it's like 828 00:31:51,350 --> 00:31:49,519 we need to wait for the newspapers to 829 00:31:52,549 --> 00:31:51,360 tell us whether it's okay to believe in 830 00:31:54,950 --> 00:31:52,559 things 831 00:31:57,430 --> 00:31:54,960 yeah there's there's an organic level 832 00:31:59,190 --> 00:31:57,440 where this can grow up right and that 833 00:32:01,029 --> 00:31:59,200 organic level 834 00:32:02,470 --> 00:32:01,039 partially depends on 835 00:32:05,269 --> 00:32:02,480 us 836 00:32:05,990 --> 00:32:05,279 realizing that our loved ones have tried 837 00:32:09,029 --> 00:32:06,000 to 838 00:32:11,029 --> 00:32:09,039 have sometimes tried or resisted 839 00:32:12,710 --> 00:32:11,039 to speak about these things 840 00:32:15,909 --> 00:32:12,720 for decades 841 00:32:17,509 --> 00:32:15,919 there's there's almost always somebody 842 00:32:20,230 --> 00:32:17,519 in each family 843 00:32:22,789 --> 00:32:20,240 that depending on whether they're a 844 00:32:24,389 --> 00:32:22,799 revered grandmother or a black sheep 845 00:32:25,269 --> 00:32:24,399 stepbrother 846 00:32:30,710 --> 00:32:25,279 they 847 00:32:32,630 --> 00:32:30,720 the rest of the family on how these 848 00:32:34,230 --> 00:32:32,640 stories are sometimes heard and there's 849 00:32:36,470 --> 00:32:34,240 probably many other parameters that i'm 850 00:32:38,710 --> 00:32:36,480 not speaking of right now but 851 00:32:40,470 --> 00:32:38,720 there's a if we can come as you were 852 00:32:42,230 --> 00:32:40,480 saying before as if we can come at this 853 00:32:45,430 --> 00:32:42,240 from a position of respect and that's 854 00:32:47,990 --> 00:32:45,440 great but what we did from the outset 855 00:32:49,590 --> 00:32:48,000 what we realized that we needed to have 856 00:32:51,750 --> 00:32:49,600 a protected 857 00:32:52,470 --> 00:32:51,760 private environment 858 00:33:03,590 --> 00:32:52,480 to 859 00:33:04,870 --> 00:33:03,600 conversations in private that were kind 860 00:33:07,430 --> 00:33:04,880 of like 861 00:33:08,950 --> 00:33:07,440

00:33:19,760 literally makes people sick 868 00:33:24,870 --> 00:33:21,919 yeah literally i think 869 00:33:27,669 --> 00:33:24,880 it makes people sick to have that that 870 00:33:28,870 --> 00:33:27,679 kind of secret hidden for years and 871 00:33:31,269 --> 00:33:28,880 years and years 872 00:33:33,269 --> 00:33:31,279 so um i'd love to hear what kirsten and 873 00:33:35,029 --> 00:33:33,279 stewart have to say about 874 00:33:37,430 --> 00:33:35,039 what we were trying to build with the 875 00:33:38,389 --> 00:33:37,440 site and with the community and anything 876

you know another 883 00:34:03,830 --> 00:33:59,840 word that came up while we were 884 00:34:05,269 --> 00:34:03,840 uh setting the site up is sanctuary 885 00:34:07,350 --> 00:34:05,279 um 886 00:34:08,790 --> 00:34:07,360 and that's basically the same thing as 887 00:34:11,990 --> 00:34:08,800 sitting in a diner 888 00:34:14,069 --> 00:34:12,000 cozy um together and just feeling safe 889 00:34:15,669 --> 00:34:14,079 and knowing that the person isn't gonna 890 00:34:18,470 --> 00:34:15,679 glaze over 891 00:34:20,629 --> 00:34:18,480 they're not gonna change the subject 892 00:34:21,589 --> 00:34:20,639 they're not to walk away 893 00:34:24,230 --> 00:34:21,599 which 894 00:34:26,230 --> 00:34:24,240 so many experiencers um 895 00:34:29,430 --> 00:34:26,240 talk about you know being in a social 896 00:34:31,750 --> 00:34:29,440 setting and having this need to um 897 00:34:34,470 --> 00:34:31,760 to tell their story to someone 898 00:34:37,829 --> 00:34:34,480 and that person like literally either 899 00:34:42,069 --> 00:34:37,839 not hearing them which is always bizarre 900 00:34:44,149 --> 00:34:42,079 walking away like it's it's a strange 901 00:34:46,869 --> 00:34:44,159 barrier between 902 00:34:49,430 --> 00:34:46,879 um people who are in need of telling 903 00:34:51,589 --> 00:34:49,440 their stories and people who are not 904 00:34:55,190 --> 00:34:51,599 ready to hear their stories 905 00:34:57,030 --> 00:34:55,200 but one of the things too that we all 906 00:35:01,270 --> 00:34:57,040 often laugh about 907 00:35:04,630 --> 00:35:03,109 people who don't think they've had 908 00:35:06,470 --> 00:35:04,640 experiences 909 00:35:08,230 --> 00:35:06,480 very often say 910 00:35:09,430 --> 00:35:08,240 well there was this one thing that 911 00:35:10,790 --> 00:35:09,440 happened 912 00:35:12,790 --> 00:35:10,800 yeah and 913 00:35:14,790 --> 00:35:12,800 and then they tell this 914 00:35:16,550 --> 00:35:14,800 i mean i'm kind of i'm kind of telling 915 00:35:18,069 --> 00:35:16,560 one of stewart's stories i'm 916 00:35:19,510 --> 00:35:18,079 paraphrasing one of stewart's stories so 917 00:35:21,910 --> 00:35:19,520 i have to give him credit but but 918 00:35:23,750 --> 00:35:21,920 usually they come up with this like 919 00:35:26,069 --> 00:35:23,760 bizarre 920 00:35:26,790 --> 00:35:26,079 anomalous weird 921 00:35:28,230 --> 00:35:26,800 like 922 00:35:29,829 --> 00:35:28,240 that they've explained away with ball 923 00:35:31,270 --> 00:35:29,839 lightning or something like him how to 924 00:35:33,030 --> 00:35:31,280 be balling 925 00:35:34,069 --> 00:35:33,040 so so 926 00:35:37,349 --> 00:35:34,079 this 927 00:35:39,430 --> 00:35:37,359 we in in creating a sanctuary it's like 928 00:35:41,510 --> 00:35:39,440 everybody's there by choice everybody 929 00:35:42,550 --> 00:35:41,520 knows they're safe 930 00:35:46,630 --> 00:35:42,560 and 931 00:35:47,750 --> 00:35:46,640 what interestingly enough 932 00:35:49,670 --> 00:35:47,760 um 933 00:35:51,190 --> 00:35:49,680 in doing this work 934 00:35:53,510 --> 00:35:51,200 some people have expressed to me that 935 00:35:54,870 --> 00:35:53,520 it's changed how they approach the rest 936 00:35:56,950 --> 00:35:54,880 of their life 937 00:35:59,910 --> 00:35:56,960 they are better able to straddle these 938 00:36:02,390 --> 00:35:59,920 two worlds and actually 939 00:36:04,390 --> 00:36:02,400 give them a sort of springboard 940 00:36:05,829 --> 00:36:04,400 towards what they really want to do with 941 00:36:07,109 --> 00:36:05,839 their lives 942 00:36:08,470 --> 00:36:07,119 now this is 943 00:36:10,150 --> 00:36:08,480 keeping in mind that a lot of 944 00:36:11,430 --> 00:36:10,160 experiencers feel that they actually 945 00:36:13,270 --> 00:36:11,440 have a mission 946 00:36:16,870 --> 00:36:13,280 um that's one thing but then there's 947 00:36:18,950 --> 00:36:16,880 also we all want to have a life that is 948 00:36:20,950 --> 00:36:18,960 you know it's self-realization it's what 949 00:36:23,109 --> 00:36:20,960 we want to do it's following our bliss 950 00:36:25,109 --> 00:36:23,119 etc however you want to put it but 951 00:36:27,270 --> 00:36:25,119 someone told me that just today that 952 00:36:29,109 --> 00:36:27,280 that this group has actually given them 953 00:36:31,670 --> 00:36:29,119 a springboard to make decisions that 954 00:36:33,030 --> 00:36:31,680 feel better for themselves 955 00:36:37,910 --> 00:36:33,040 um 956 00:36:40,150 --> 00:36:37,920 yeah and then 957 00:36:41,589 --> 00:36:40,160 there's also 958 00:36:43,510 --> 00:36:41,599 when you start talking about your 959 00:36:44,870 --> 00:36:43,520 experiences in a safe environment 960 00:36:46,310 --> 00:36:44,880 sometimes you find out things from 961 00:36:48,790 --> 00:36:46,320 people like we just recently found out 962 00:36:52,069 --> 00:36:48,800 my husband and i found out that his aunt 963 00:36:54,870 --> 00:36:52,079 mimi who lives on long island and is 90 964 00:36:56,630 --> 00:36:54,880 years old has had a whole host of 965 00:36:57,670 --> 00:36:56,640 experiences in her life 966 00:36:59,270 --> 00:36:57,680 and 967 00:37:01,190 --> 00:36:59,280 never really talked about them to the 968 00:37:05,430 --> 00:37:01,200 family so that kind of stuff comes up 969 00:37:08,790 --> 00:37:07,349 it's stuart you have anything to add 970 00:37:11,270 --> 00:37:08,800 yeah 971 00:37:14,310 --> 00:37:11,280 we'll do the other 972 00:37:16,390 --> 00:37:14,320 sure we can brady bunch this thing 973 00:37:17,750 --> 00:37:16,400 until the mutilated cows come home 974 00:37:19,750 --> 00:37:17,760 um 975 00:37:21,670 --> 00:37:19,760 the 976 00:37:24,230 --> 00:37:21,680 component that arises from me and listen 977 00:37:25,430 --> 00:37:24,240 to jane kirsten share which i i confirm 978 00:37:27,510 --> 00:37:25,440 and 979 00:37:28,790 --> 00:37:27,520 share everything that they have touched 980 00:37:33,750 --> 00:37:28,800 on so far 981 00:37:37,109 --> 00:37:33,760 and it reminds me of the tempo and 982 00:37:40,870 --> 00:37:37,119 measure that is such a key 983 00:37:43,030 --> 00:37:40,880 part of how experiencers choose to tell 984 00:37:45,510 --> 00:37:43,040 their story their experiences and what 985 00:37:48,150 --> 00:37:45,520 we very often find i wouldn't quite say 986 00:37:49,349 --> 00:37:48,160 that it's universal but it's very common 987 00:37:51,109 --> 00:37:49,359 is that 988 00:37:53,750 --> 00:37:51,119 first people 989 00:37:55,430 --> 00:37:53,760 show up and a lot of this goes for the 990 00:37:57,030 --> 00:37:55,440 experience or group our community but i 991 00:37:58,790 --> 00:37:57,040 think more broadly 992 00:38:01,430 --> 00:37:58,800 across continents cultures and 993 00:38:02,950 --> 00:38:01,440 demographics in general so people 994 00:38:04,630 --> 00:38:02,960 will show up to an environment and 995 00:38:06,069 --> 00:38:04,640 they'll hang out for a long time they'll 996 00:38:08,310 --> 00:38:06,079 see if it's safe 997 00:38:10,790 --> 00:38:08,320 they'll watch how people behave over 998 00:38:12,550 --> 00:38:10,800 time in different situations and after 999 00:38:14,150 --> 00:38:12,560 there's been enough checking 1000 00:38:16,310 --> 00:38:14,160 and this could be one person with 1001 00:38:17,589 --> 00:38:16,320 another just two people it could be a 1002 00:38:19,109 --> 00:38:17,599 meetup group 1003 00:38:22,390 --> 00:38:19,119 so then they'll watch and wait for a 1004 00:38:24,870 --> 00:38:22,400 long time and then they'll try a little 1005 00:38:27,510 --> 00:38:24,880 experimental offering see how that's 1006 00:38:31,670 --> 00:38:27,520 received the process in which someone 1007 00:38:32,950 --> 00:38:31,680 may eventually arrive at disclosing 1008 00:38:34,630 --> 00:38:32,960 the 1009 00:38:36,950 --> 00:38:34,640 deep hidden heart 1010 00:38:39,349 --> 00:38:36,960 of the most meaningful 1011 00:38:41,349 --> 00:38:39,359 ontologically shocking life-changing 1012 00:38:44,310 --> 00:38:41,359 components of their experiences 1013 00:38:46,950 --> 00:38:44,320 that could be years or decades or 1014 00:38:50,230 --> 00:38:46,960 generations i mean it really 1015 00:38:52,550 --> 00:38:50,240 can be anything and we see this 1016 00:38:55,030 --> 00:38:52,560 over and over again i've lived it myself 1017 00:38:56,230 --> 00:38:55,040 you know it took me eight years to say 1018 00:38:58,230 --> 00:38:56,240 out loud 1019 00:39:00,790 --> 00:38:58,240 my experience and 1020 00:39:04,150 --> 00:39:00,800 i don't even have a face or a reputation 1021 00:39:06,630 --> 00:39:04,160 to protect you know i always say like 1022 00:39:09,030 --> 00:39:06,640 isn't that how we just uh treat life in 1023 00:39:10,870 --> 00:39:09,040 general too but this is just such such a 1024 00:39:12,950 --> 00:39:10,880 more impactful 1025 00:39:14,630 --> 00:39:12,960 thing to do even like if you're new in 1026 00:39:15,910 --> 00:39:14,640 the workplace you're 1027 00:39:18,230 --> 00:39:15,920 you know and you haven't had an 1028 00:39:20,150 --> 00:39:18,240 experience or anything you you're quiet 1029 00:39:22,069 --> 00:39:20,160 and you test the boundaries little by 1030 00:39:24,230 --> 00:39:22,079 little see if your sense of humor works 1031 00:39:26,550 --> 00:39:24,240 with this person or by saying a little 1032 00:39:31,270 --> 00:39:26,560 joke there or whatever but this is just 1033 00:39:33,510 --> 00:39:31,280 on such a larger uh scale so 1034 00:39:35,510 --> 00:39:33,520 you know at least for me i'm a lot more 1035 00:39:36,310 --> 00:39:35,520 careful you know and 1036 00:39:37,670 --> 00:39:36,320 and 1037 00:39:40,150 --> 00:39:37,680 you know tentative 1038 00:39:42,710 --> 00:39:40,160 to testing that stuff but you know to be 1039 00:39:45,349 --> 00:39:42,720 honest there's no one i can talk to in 1040 00:39:47,990 --> 00:39:45,359 real life about this i'm in milwaukee 1041 00:39:49,510 --> 00:39:48,000 you know and i don't know anybody um so 1042 00:39:51,109 --> 00:39:49,520 this is i can introduce you to people in 1043 00:39:51,990 --> 00:39:51,119 milwaukee that you can talk to though 1044 00:39:53,990 --> 00:39:52,000 sean 1045 00:39:55,109 --> 00:39:54,000 well there we go 1046 00:39:57,190 --> 00:39:55,119 they're probably right at the street 1047 00:39:59,270 --> 00:39:57,200 from you i mean not literally 1048 00:40:01,430 --> 00:39:59,280 right but yeah point 1049

and what we 1053 00:40:09,750 --> 00:40:07,040 were trying to build and what we 1054 00:40:11,510 --> 00:40:09,760 continue to try to improve is 1055 00:40:13,270 --> 00:40:11,520 what are the parts of that dynamic that 1056 00:40:16,230 --> 00:40:13,280 you just shared that we could have an 1057 00:40:17,430 --> 00:40:16,240 impact on how could we make it safer 1058 00:40:19,190 --> 00:40:17,440 sooner 1059 00:40:20,390 --> 00:40:19,200 for people what 1060 00:40:22,710 --> 00:40:20,400 could be 1061 00:40:24,790 --> 00:40:22,720 a way to configure a community in which 1062 00:40:27,589 --> 00:40:24,800 we could half the time 1063 00:40:30,390 --> 00:40:27,599 that someone has to spend 1064 00:40:31,910 --> 00:40:30,400 confirming reconfirming checking that 1065 00:40:33,510 --> 00:40:31,920 it's safe and that it's okay what if you 1066 00:40:35,990 --> 00:40:33,520 knew you're not going to lose your job 1067 00:40:37,750 --> 00:40:36,000 what if you knew your family isn't

could there be an 1071 00:40:45,109 --> 00:40:43,200 environment in which those things were 1072 00:40:48,230 --> 00:40:45,119 not the kind of questions an experience 1073 00:40:50,829 --> 00:40:48,240 or had to ask in deciding should i tell 1074 00:40:54,950 --> 00:40:50,839 should i share what happened to me 1075 00:40:56,550 --> 00:40:54,960 right i think that's beautiful 1076

00:41:35,030 --> 00:41:32,720 this quote he said i don't think what 1092 00:41:37,589 --> 00:41:35,040 we're looking for is a meaning of life 1093 00:41:39,750 --> 00:41:37,599 what we're looking for is an experience 1094 00:41:42,390 --> 00:41:39,760 of being alive 1095 00:41:44,390 --> 00:41:42,400 so that the experiences that we have on 1096 00:41:47,510 --> 00:41:44,400 the physical plane 1097 00:41:49,670 --> 00:41:47,520 will have resonances within 1098 00:41:51,670 --> 00:41:49,680 yeah right and i think there's so much 1099 00:41:53,510 --> 00:41:51,680 truth i think there's so much truth to 1100 00:41:56,150 --> 00:41:53,520 that and it might even be like a more 1101 00:41:58,069 --> 00:41:56,160 utilitarian way of going about looking 1102 00:42:00,230 --> 00:41:58,079 at these big questions 1103 00:42:02,230 --> 00:42:00,240 but along those lines what gets explored 1104 00:42:03,990 --> 00:42:02,240 over and over at the experiencer group 1105 00:42:07,109 --> 00:42:04,000 is these resonances 1106 00:42:10,069 --> 00:42:07,119 resonances of the experiences themselves 1107 00:42:12,550 --> 00:42:10,079 resonances between experiencers 1108 00:42:13,990 --> 00:42:12,560 resonances with other people's 1109 00:42:14,790 --> 00:42:14,000 experiences 1110 00:42:17,990 --> 00:42:14,800 and 1111 00:42:20,309 --> 00:42:18,000 kirsten had a had a great situation of 1112

00:42:43,520 where it's like oh this is really 1125 00:42:45,430 --> 00:42:44,640 working 1126 00:42:48,069 --> 00:42:45,440 um 1127 00:42:52,069 --> 00:42:48,079 i had an angel hair experience in 1128 00:42:55,030 --> 00:42:52,079 probably between 1973 and 1975 1129 00:42:58,390 --> 00:42:55,040 their ish when i was a child that i was 1130 00:42:59,430 --> 00:42:58,400 a child in the 70s uh in

00:43:07,680 falls from the sky 1135 00:43:13,670 --> 00:43:10,480 and was mostly documented between the 1136 00:43:15,109 --> 00:43:13,680 50s and the 70s and it often would fall 1137 00:43:17,030 --> 00:43:15,119 from the sky 1138 00:43:19,750 --> 00:43:17,040 after a ufo sighting 1139 00:43:20,710 --> 00:43:19,760 and it would dissolve when touched 1140 00:43:21,910 --> 00:43:20,720 um 1141 00:43:24,390 --> 00:43:21,920 and 1142 00:43:26,390 --> 00:43:24,400 there's dig into the angel hair thing 1143 00:43:28,069 --> 00:43:26,400 it's very interesting so this happened 1144 00:43:30,630 --> 00:43:28,079 to me i was a little kid and it happened 1145 00:43:32,069 --> 00:43:30,640 to me and they were they the teachers 1146 00:43:34,230 --> 00:43:32,079 tried to explain it away by saying 1147 00:43:36,390 --> 00:43:34,240 spider webs but spider webs don't 1148 00:43:38,790 --> 00:43:36,400 dissolve in your fingertips right 1149 00:43:41,750 --> 00:43:38,800 so i was talking about this uh in a 1150 00:43:43,670 --> 00:43:41,760 meeting and uh i have permission to talk 1151 00:43:47,030 --> 00:43:43,680 about this from the other member and 1152 00:43:49,910 --> 00:43:47,040 i've spoken about it publicly um 1153 00:43:53,349 --> 00:43:49,920 she said oh this happened to me too and 1154 00:43:55,589 --> 00:43:53,359 i was in california and i tasted it 1155 00:43:58,470 --> 00:43:55,599 because she was a kid 1156 00:44:01,430 --> 00:43:58,480 and her brother you know 1157 00:44:02,630 --> 00:44:01,440 dared her to taste it and she tasted it 1158 00:44:04,390 --> 00:44:02,640 so 1159 00:44:06,230 --> 00:44:04,400 we were like oh okay this thing happened 1160 00:44:08,790 --> 00:44:06,240 in california then she digs in and she 1161 00:44:10,710 --> 00:44:08,800 starts asking her family more about it 1162 00:44:13,030 --> 00:44:10,720 and she finds out not only did it happen 1163 00:44:15,030 --> 00:44:13,040 in california around the same time it 1164 00:44:17,990 --> 00:44:15,040 probably happened in the same year and 1165 00:44:20,470 --> 00:44:18,000 it was in exactly the same city probably 1166 00:44:22,790 --> 00:44:20,480 just about a mile and a half away 1167 00:44:25,430 --> 00:44:22,800 wow and since then we've also and she 1168 00:44:27,750 --> 00:44:25,440 was on vacation in palo alto which is 1169 00:44:28,950 --> 00:44:27,760 exactly where it happened um 1170 00:44:33,109 --> 00:44:28,960 so 1171 00:44:34,790 --> 00:44:33,119 that sent me a note on instagram saying 1172 00:44:36,309 --> 00:44:34,800 i was in san jose and this happened as 1173 00:44:37,829 --> 00:44:36,319 well and i haven't been able to have any 1174 00:44:39,430 --> 00:44:37,839 further conversations with that person i 1175 00:44:42,870 --> 00:44:39,440 want that person to come and talk to me 1176 00:44:45,750 --> 00:44:42,880 some more but this was the cool ass 1177 00:44:46,870 --> 00:44:45,760 thing is that you connect the dots 1178 00:44:49,270 --> 00:44:46,880 together 1179 00:44:52,470 --> 00:44:49,280 not only are we talking about sort of 1180 00:44:54,550 --> 00:44:52,480 uh anomalous out there consciousness 1181 00:44:56,150 --> 00:44:54,560 stuff that we're corroborating but we're 1182 00:44:58,470 --> 00:44:56,160 also corroborating some physical 1183 00:45:00,390 --> 00:44:58,480 experiences as well and i think more of 1184 00:45:02,309 --> 00:45:00,400 that's going to start unfolding as we go 1185 00:45:04,950 --> 00:45:02,319 forward 1186 00:45:06,390 --> 00:45:04,960 and kirsten there's a third note in that 1187 00:45:08,470 --> 00:45:06,400 connectivity 1188 00:45:10,950 --> 00:45:08,480 that i think is interesting to bring up 1189 00:45:13,430 --> 00:45:10,960 which is the radio host that you further 1190 00:45:15,990 --> 00:45:13,440 you want to share that aspect 1191 00:45:18,710 --> 00:45:16,000 sure i was on night dreams radio with 1192 00:45:19,990 --> 00:45:18,720 gary anderson and

00:45:27,109 --> 00:45:25,680 other member had tasted it and he said 1197 00:45:30,069 --> 00:45:27,119 you know something like that happened to 1198 00:45:31,030 --> 00:45:30,079 me too in the seattle area 1199 00:45:33,270 --> 00:45:31,040 in the 1200 00:45:37,430 --> 00:45:33,280 late 50s early 60s 1201 00:45:39,589 --> 00:45:37,440 when he was a kid and he tasted it too 1202 00:45:42,230 --> 00:45:39,599 wow yeah i tasted it it was tasted 1203 00:45:43,750 --> 00:45:42,240 really bitter like what 1204 00:45:46,790 --> 00:45:43,760 what 1205 00:45:48,790 --> 00:45:46,800 and his father worked for boeing and um 1206 00:45:50,790 --> 00:45:48,800 his he told his father about it later 1207 00:45:53,109 --> 00:45:50,800 and his father said something along the 1208 00:45:55,190 --> 00:45:53,119 lines of and i'm paraphrasing here well 1209 00:45:57,190 --> 00:45:55,200 you know we're always testing things in 1210 00:45:59,430 --> 00:45:57,200 the sky 1211 00:46:03,190 --> 00:45:59,440 and 1212 00:46:05,349 --> 00:46:03,200 so i got this that's a problem 1213 00:46:06,950 --> 00:46:05,359 right wow yeah 1214 00:46:08,790 --> 00:46:06,960 that's incredible 1215 00:46:10,390 --> 00:46:08,800 and and there are other 1216 00:46:12,550 --> 00:46:10,400 resonances like that that happen too 1217 00:46:15,990 --> 00:46:12,560 where it's not just it doesn't it's not 1218 00:46:19,030 --> 00:46:16,000 just an emotionally resonant experience 1219 00:46:20,950 --> 00:46:19,040 between people it's not just that of of 1220 00:46:24,390 --> 00:46:20,960 recognizing 1221 00:46:28,390 --> 00:46:24,400 being in a room even a virtual room a 1222 00:46:29,270 --> 00:46:28,400 zoom room of say 12 to 20 people 1223 00:46:37,510 --> 00:46:29,280 that 1224 00:46:38,870 --> 00:46:37,520 before having those kinds of 1225 00:46:40,790 --> 00:46:38,880 being able to share that kind of 1226 00:46:43,750 --> 00:46:40,800 ontological shock 1227 00:46:46,470 --> 00:46:43,760 experience of of recognizing that the 1228 00:46:49,349 --> 00:46:46,480 world or consciousness or however you'd 1229 00:46:52,470 --> 00:46:49,359 like to frame it is not exactly it 1230 00:46:54,390 --> 00:46:52,480 doesn't exactly abide by the rules that 1231 00:46:56,230 --> 00:46:54,400 we read about in the newspaper 1232 00:46:58,790 --> 00:46:56,240 you know or we learned about that you 1233 00:47:00,150 --> 00:46:58,800 expect it to yeah 1234 00:47:02,230 --> 00:47:00,160 yeah 100 1235 00:47:03,589 --> 00:47:02,240 but there are other cases too where in 1236 00:47:06,230 --> 00:47:03,599 these in these 1237 00:47:10,069 --> 00:47:06,240 in these situations we've we've heard 1238 00:47:11,190 --> 00:47:10,079 about say like tools implements used by 1239 00:47:15,510 --> 00:47:11,200 grays 1240 00:47:16,309 --> 00:47:15,520 or mantids and and beings like that that 1241 00:47:17,109 --> 00:47:16,319 and 1242 00:47:22,790 --> 00:47:17,119 i 1243 00:47:25,109 --> 00:47:22,800 um 1244 00:47:27,030 --> 00:47:25,119 intensely emotional sessions where 1245 00:47:29,589 --> 00:47:27,040 somebody recognized for the first time 1246 00:47:32,710 --> 00:47:29,599 that somebody else saw the exact same 1247 00:47:35,190 --> 00:47:32,720 thing that they experienced and and and 1248 00:47:37,430 --> 00:47:35,200 something like this and it means a lot 1249 00:47:38,870 --> 00:47:37,440 you know one of the reasons why stewards 1250 00:47:40,230 --> 00:47:38,880 one of the reasons why stewart and i 1251 00:47:41,430 --> 00:47:40,240 bonded so well 1252 00:47:43,510 --> 00:47:41,440 i think 1253 00:47:46,309 --> 00:47:43,520 um among other reasons is that stewart's 1254 00:47:48,630 --> 00:47:46,319 a mansive experiencer as well i you know 1255 00:47:50,870 --> 00:47:48,640 i've i've i've 1256 00:47:53,190 --> 00:47:50,880 been privy to those folks and and so is 1257 00:47:55,670 --> 00:47:53,200 stuart and so 1258 00:47:58,630 --> 00:47:55,680 you know recently online and 1259 00:47:59,430 --> 00:47:58,640 coming out with with my 1260 00:48:02,069 --> 00:47:59,440 uh 1261 00:48:03,109 --> 00:48:02,079 um story in ralph blumenthal's recent 1262 00:48:05,430 --> 00:48:03,119 article 1263 00:48:06,950 --> 00:48:05,440 in which stewart was also mentioned 1264 00:48:08,470 --> 00:48:06,960 um 1265 00:48:10,630 --> 00:48:08,480 there was some there's a little bit of 1266 00:48:13,270 --> 00:48:10,640 black backlash from some people saying 1267 00:48:15,829 --> 00:48:13,280 oh yeah some that's just some praying 1268 00:48:17,829 --> 00:48:15,839 mantis and a cloak like that's that's 1269 00:48:18,790 --> 00:48:17,839 ridiculous or what's that or something 1270 00:48:19,670 --> 00:48:18,800 like that 1271 00:48:21,510 --> 00:48:19,680 and 1272 00:48:23,270 --> 00:48:21,520 the thing is is that like people need to 1273 00:48:25,109 --> 00:48:23,280 do their research there are so many 1274 00:48:26,790 --> 00:48:25,119 people in ufology that just like don't 1275 00:48:28,549 --> 00:48:26,800 even do the basic reading there needs to 1276 00:48:31,829 --> 00:48:28,559 be like 50 more 1277 00:48:34,230 --> 00:48:31,839 levar burdens in ufology 1278 00:48:37,030 --> 00:48:34,240 you know like there needs to be more 1279 00:48:39,430 --> 00:48:37,040 reading rainbow happening because 1280 00:48:40,230 --> 00:48:39,440 they're there man they're there 1281 00:48:43,349 --> 00:48:40,240 and 1282 00:48:45,910 --> 00:48:43,359 they exist going back decades 1283 00:48:47,270 --> 00:48:45,920 yeah you know and and so when people 1284 00:48:48,950 --> 00:48:47,280 talk about the insectoids the 1285 00:48:50,710 --> 00:48:48,960 insectilins the mantis beings the 1286 00:48:52,950 --> 00:48:50,720 mantids like 1287 00:48:55,349 --> 00:48:52,960 even the ant beings we're generally 1288 00:48:56,630 --> 00:48:55,359 talking probably about a lot of the same 1289 00:48:59,349 --> 00:48:56,640 things here 1290 00:49:02,309 --> 00:48:59,359 and so um in stuart and i 1291 00:49:04,390 --> 00:49:02,319 talking early with and with stuart with 1292 00:49:05,589 --> 00:49:04,400 kirsten in these in these meetup groups 1293 00:49:08,710 --> 00:49:05,599 that that 1294 00:49:10,710 --> 00:49:08,720 was a huge bonding point stewart saw an 1295 00:49:13,430 --> 00:49:10,720 eight-foot mantis being 1296 00:49:14,950 --> 00:49:13,440 in a purple cloak show up 1297 00:49:17,109 --> 00:49:14,960 i think in that bedroom where you are 1298 00:49:19,430 --> 00:49:17,119 right now if i'm not mistaken is that 1299 00:49:20,870 --> 00:49:19,440 right down one floor 1300 00:49:22,549 --> 00:49:20,880 down one i was going to say you must 1301 00:49:24,630 --> 00:49:22,559 have left it on the bed 1302 00:49:27,829 --> 00:49:24,640 yeah it's purple 1303 00:49:30,309 --> 00:49:27,839 yeah but um you know and so 1304 00:49:32,549 --> 00:49:30,319 even just things like that where getting 1305 00:49:33,349 --> 00:49:32,559 in situations where somebody like stuart 1306 00:49:35,430 --> 00:49:33,359 and i 1307 00:49:37,829 --> 00:49:35,440 will sit and talk about what are these 1308 00:49:38,549 --> 00:49:37,839 weird fashion decisions why do they do 1309 00:49:40,790 --> 00:49:38,559 that 1310 00:49:42,630 --> 00:49:40,800 what's up with the pageantry like we 1311 00:49:44,390 --> 00:49:42,640 think it's weird purple is royalty 1312 00:49:45,950 --> 00:49:44,400 something you probably thought about 1313 00:49:47,910 --> 00:49:45,960 that you know some of these 1314 00:49:49,750 --> 00:49:47,920 non-experiencers they're saying like oh 1315 00:49:52,309 --> 00:49:49,760 what's that and it's 1316 00:49:55,270 --> 00:49:52,319 experiencers also 1317 00:49:58,710 --> 00:49:55,280 recognize the vast strangeness of of 1318 00:50:00,309 --> 00:49:58,720 what's happening here and and and that's 1319 00:50:01,990 --> 00:50:00,319 why conversations like what we're doing 1320 00:50:03,829 --> 00:50:02,000 right now 1321 00:50:06,230 --> 00:50:03,839 they need to happen more 1322 00:50:09,670 --> 00:50:06,240 because a lot of the conversations that 1323 00:50:10,829 --> 00:50:09,680 happen online about experiencers don't 1324 00:50:13,190 --> 00:50:10,839 involve 1325 00:50:14,790 --> 00:50:13,200 experiencers yeah 1326 00:50:15,589 --> 00:50:14,800 and emotion 1327 00:50:18,150 --> 00:50:15,599 and 1328 00:50:20,870 --> 00:50:18,160 these conversations need to happen by 1329 00:50:24,150 --> 00:50:20,880 people that live these situations 1330 00:50:25,109 --> 00:50:24,160 because they think about it all the damn 1331 00:50:26,710 --> 00:50:25,119 time 1332 00:50:28,150 --> 00:50:26,720 yeah and they're going to talk about 1333 00:50:29,030 --> 00:50:28,160 things differently 1334 00:50:31,829 --> 00:50:29,040 than 1335 00:50:35,589 --> 00:50:31,839 some weird game of telephone 1336 00:50:38,069 --> 00:50:35,599 where where somebody goes and and just 1337 00:50:40,150 --> 00:50:38,079 checks in with some author that happens 1338 00:50:42,549 --> 00:50:40,160 to have had a few interviews with 1339 00:50:45,030 --> 00:50:42,559 somebody or something like that it's a 1340 00:50:47,190 --> 00:50:45,040 different lived scenario 1341 00:50:48,230 --> 00:50:47,200 and it brings up different issues does 1342 00:50:50,790 --> 00:50:48,240 that make sense 1343 00:50:52,870 --> 00:50:50,800 yeah i had one of those um if you know 1344 00:50:55,349 --> 00:50:52,880 if i'm getting your right the one of 1345 00:50:58,069 --> 00:50:55,359 those residences listening to 1346 00:50:59,750 --> 00:50:58,079 uh your podcast with the the author of 1347 00:51:02,630 --> 00:50:59,760 the book we were talking about earlier 1348 00:51:05,670 --> 00:51:02,640 um with owls and such 1349 00:51:07,349 --> 00:51:05,680 um he actually was listing 1350 00:51:10,069 --> 00:51:07,359 by the difference 1351 00:51:11,990 --> 00:51:10,079 yes michael and yeah um he was listening 1352 00:51:13,829 --> 00:51:12,000 to different things you know could uh 1353 00:51:15,270 --> 00:51:13,839 owls and 1354 00:51:17,270 --> 00:51:15,280 deer and 1355 00:51:21,750 --> 00:51:17,280 i think he even said squirrels and then 1356 00:51:23,349 --> 00:51:21,760 he said jesus and when he said jesus 1357 00:51:26,309 --> 00:51:23,359 that was 1358 00:51:27,430 --> 00:51:26,319 heard that 1359 00:51:30,230 --> 00:51:27,440 before 1360 00:51:32,549 --> 00:51:30,240 um and you know one of my experiences 1361 00:51:34,790 --> 00:51:32,559 was that and 1362 00:51:37,069 --> 00:51:34,800 that's been something that because 1363 00:51:39,190 --> 00:51:37,079 being raised non-denominate 1364 00:51:41,589 --> 00:51:39,200 non-denominational christian i mean i've 1365 00:51:43,109 --> 00:51:41,599 i'm on my own path at this point but 1366 00:51:45,670 --> 00:51:43,119 um you know 1367 00:51:48,150 --> 00:51:45,680 i i couldn't always help but tie it to 1368 00:51:52,470 --> 00:51:48,160 that or like you know just make sense of 1369 00:51:54,950 --> 00:51:52,480 that um so i think i found at least you 1370 00:51:56,790 --> 00:51:54,960 know a little path to start walking down 1371 00:51:57,750 --> 00:51:56,800 a little light on it now because i've 1372 00:52:00,230 --> 00:51:57,760 heard 1373 00:52:01,750 --> 00:52:00,240 him say that just from him saying that 1374 00:52:02,630 --> 00:52:01,760 um has 1375 00:52:04,630 --> 00:52:02,640 you know 1376 00:52:07,030 --> 00:52:04,640 made me feel better about it if that 1377 00:52:09,190 --> 00:52:07,040 makes sense so 1378 00:52:10,710 --> 00:52:09,200 you know along those lines i completely 1379 00:52:12,870 --> 00:52:10,720 agree with you and i would love to hear 1380 00:52:14,309 --> 00:52:12,880 from kirsten stewart about this but one 1381 00:52:17,190 --> 00:52:14,319 of the things that 1382 00:52:19,349 --> 00:52:17,200 that we do on the experiencer group is 1383 00:52:21,109 --> 00:52:19,359 do we have we have a lot of different 1384 00:52:23,109 --> 00:52:21,119 ways for people to connect with each 1385 00:52:26,309 --> 00:52:23,119 other and one of those ways is our book 1386 00:52:28,230 --> 00:52:26,319 group we've got a book group and um 1387 00:52:31,109 --> 00:52:28,240 along the lines of we need more levar 1388 00:52:33,270 --> 00:52:31,119 burdens in this in this realm 1389 00:52:35,750 --> 00:52:33,280 and we covered diana basalka really 1390 00:52:37,270 --> 00:52:35,760 early and of course american cosmic 1391 00:52:40,069 --> 00:52:37,280 diana pasoka 1392 00:52:41,270 --> 00:52:40,079 who's a religious studies professor um 1393 00:52:43,430 --> 00:52:41,280 at 1394 00:52:44,790 --> 00:52:43,440 university of north carolina wilmington 1395 00:52:46,630 --> 00:52:44,800 as i recall 1396 00:52:48,950 --> 00:52:46,640 she did a great job in an american 1397 00:52:51,750 --> 00:52:48,960 cosmic of of bringing together 1398 00:52:55,190 --> 00:52:51,760 and thinking really about like how these 1399 00:52:58,150 --> 00:52:55,200 anomalous situations were documented in 1400 00:53:01,670 --> 00:52:58,160 centuries back however they had 1401 00:53:02,950 --> 00:53:01,680 the the the color or they had this kind 1402 00:53:05,910 --> 00:53:02,960 of cast 1403 00:53:08,870 --> 00:53:05,920 of of being in a religious experience 1404 00:53:10,790 --> 00:53:08,880 rather than an anomalous experience and 1405 00:53:12,150 --> 00:53:10,800 she really tried to bring that together 1406 00:53:14,470 --> 00:53:12,160 in a way that 1407 00:53:16,950 --> 00:53:14,480 jacques valet also alluded to in books 1408 00:53:19,670 --> 00:53:16,960 like passports and begonia where things 1409 00:53:20,950 --> 00:53:19,680 that we might consider myth or religion 1410 00:53:23,190 --> 00:53:20,960 um could be 1411 00:53:24,790 --> 00:53:23,200 viewed in a different framework and 1412 00:53:26,230 --> 00:53:24,800 along those lines 1413 00:53:27,910 --> 00:53:26,240 um 1414 00:53:30,470 --> 00:53:27,920 one thing that i'd mentioned briefly is 1415 00:53:31,670 --> 00:53:30,480 that stewart's initial mantis encounter 1416 00:53:32,630 --> 00:53:31,680 if you don't mind me bringing this up 1417 00:53:35,829 --> 00:53:32,640 stewart 1418 00:53:39,030 --> 00:53:35,839 is after a period of time where you were 1419 00:53:41,430 --> 00:53:39,040 basically asking to be shown 1420 00:53:44,950 --> 00:53:41,440 stuart has a history within kind of 1421 00:53:47,270 --> 00:53:44,960 vajrayana buddhism and zen and and deep 1422 00:53:48,309 --> 00:53:47,280 meditational practice and part of that 1423 00:53:50,390 --> 00:53:48,319 is 1424 00:53:54,230 --> 00:53:50,400 the vajrayana side of it as i understand 1425 00:53:57,109 --> 00:53:54,240 it anyway as a novice is is connecting 1426 00:53:59,270 --> 00:53:57,119 um potentially with with 1427 00:54:02,069 --> 00:53:59,280 the idea that you might you might in 1428 00:54:03,270 --> 00:54:02,079 meditation meet a discarnated entity 1429 00:54:06,230 --> 00:54:03,280 that you might 1430 00:54:08,710 --> 00:54:06,240 speak or try to connect with something 1431 00:54:11,190 --> 00:54:08,720 that's and so you know our modern 1432 00:54:13,589 --> 00:54:11,200 framework 1433 00:54:14,470 --> 00:54:13,599 has there's there's a dis there's 1434 00:54:16,069 --> 00:54:14,480 there's 1435 00:54:18,390 --> 00:54:16,079 a connection that could be made there 1436 00:54:20,549 --> 00:54:18,400 right because within mainstream ufology 1437 00:54:22,549 --> 00:54:20,559 we can finally say well maybe there is 1438 00:54:25,670 --> 00:54:22,559 something to remote viewing right 1439 00:54:27,990 --> 00:54:25,680 because russell targ did it and hal 1440 00:54:30,230 --> 00:54:28,000 did it and ingo swan did it and all 1441 00:54:31,589 --> 00:54:30,240 these other people but how long has it 1442 00:54:33,910 --> 00:54:31,599 been suppressed 1443 00:54:36,150 --> 00:54:33,920 so long exactly and if we can remote 1444 00:54:38,789 --> 00:54:36,160 view can other beings remote view and 1445 00:54:41,349 --> 00:54:38,799 what happens when we both 1446 00:54:43,990 --> 00:54:41,359 explore that right and it seems like 1447 00:54:46,549 --> 00:54:44,000 that that maybe just maybe there are 1448 00:54:48,549 --> 00:54:46,559 there are these lineages that 1449 00:54:50,069 --> 00:54:48,559 explored this differently but had a lot 1450 00:54:51,510 --> 00:54:50,079 of overlap 1451 00:54:53,430 --> 00:54:51,520 and so 1452 00:54:55,270 --> 00:54:53,440 you know for i think 1453 00:54:59,910 --> 00:54:55,280 i don't want to tell stewart's story for 1454 00:55:03,430 --> 00:54:59,920 him but he he was meditating for a 1455 00:55:04,230 --> 00:55:03,440 somebody to show up and they did 1456 00:55:07,430 --> 00:55:04,240 um 1457 00:55:10,549 --> 00:55:07,440 and and he thought that it was going to 1458 00:55:12,230 --> 00:55:10,559 maybe look like uh maybe a i don't know 1459 00:55:13,030 --> 00:55:12,240 a greek scholar 1460 00:55:14,470 --> 00:55:13,040 a 1461 00:55:16,069 --> 00:55:14,480 some some 1462 00:55:17,109 --> 00:55:16,079 some levitating 1463 00:55:18,069 --> 00:55:17,119 uh 1464 00:55:20,230 --> 00:55:18,079 um 1465 00:55:22,230 --> 00:55:20,240 you know tibetan or something like that 1466 00:55:26,150 --> 00:55:22,240 and it turned out to be 1467 00:55:27,510 --> 00:55:26,160 uh a very very large mantis and a in a 1468 00:55:28,309 --> 00:55:27,520 purple cloak 1469 00:55:30,069 --> 00:55:28,319 right 1470 00:55:33,349 --> 00:55:30,079 how do you react to something like that 1471 00:55:34,470 --> 00:55:33,359 when it's completely off of what you 1472 00:55:37,270 --> 00:55:34,480 expect 1473 00:55:38,309 --> 00:55:37,280 and maybe not so much in a pleasant way 1474 00:55:40,870 --> 00:55:38,319 like i could 1475 00:55:42,789 --> 00:55:40,880 you know not having experienced that i 1476 00:55:44,470 --> 00:55:42,799 put myself in that place and i would 1477 00:55:45,510 --> 00:55:44,480 assume that i would be 1478 00:55:46,829 --> 00:55:45,520 scared 1479 00:55:49,990 --> 00:55:46,839 you know 1480 00:55:52,630 --> 00:55:50,000 um i have nightmares all the time 1481 00:55:53,990 --> 00:55:52,640 and so i could see that popping me off 1482 00:55:55,670 --> 00:55:54,000 big time 1483 00:55:57,109 --> 00:55:55,680 you know so how do you keep your calm in 1484 00:55:58,230 --> 00:55:57,119 that scenario 1485 00:55:59,910 --> 00:55:58,240 and 1486 00:56:01,750 --> 00:55:59,920 you know just experience it for what it 1487 00:56:05,030 --> 00:56:01,760 is i guess and that and not what you're 1488 00:56:10,390 --> 00:56:07,990 well thankfully perhaps 1489 00:56:14,870 --> 00:56:12,309 rapidity with which the experience 1490 00:56:17,030 --> 00:56:14,880 unfolded didn't allow for any kind of 1491 00:56:19,270 --> 00:56:17,040 reflection at all 1492 00:56:20,950 --> 00:56:19,280 uh jay's right i was meditating trying 1493 00:56:22,950 --> 00:56:20,960 to 1494 00:56:24,630 --> 00:56:22,960 evoke this was 1495 00:56:26,549 --> 00:56:24,640 to 1496 00:56:29,510 --> 00:56:26,559 bring in another fold of why these 1497 00:56:31,510 --> 00:56:29,520 stories are so multi-dimensionally 1498 00:56:34,630 --> 00:56:31,520 challenging and 1499 00:56:38,069 --> 00:56:34,640 vaccine embarrassing hilarious so this 1500 00:56:41,910 --> 00:56:38,079 also happened to have been at midnight 1501 00:56:44,549 --> 00:56:41,920 on new year's eve in 2010 1502 00:56:46,390 --> 00:56:44,559 i was meditating because of that 1503 00:56:48,630 --> 00:56:46,400 and i thought it would be a great way to 1504 00:56:51,430 --> 00:56:48,640 bring in the new year i'll meditate 1505 00:56:53,829 --> 00:56:51,440 and call in my guides and i would like 1506 00:56:55,030 --> 00:56:53,839 to see my guides i want to meet my guys 1507 00:56:57,589 --> 00:56:55,040 in a more 1508 00:56:59,349 --> 00:56:57,599 and i fully anticipated 1509 00:57:01,510 --> 00:56:59,359 a dead monk 1510 00:57:03,190 --> 00:57:01,520 perhaps from one of the lineages that i 1511 00:57:06,309 --> 00:57:03,200 work with or some 1512 00:57:08,789 --> 00:57:06,319 dikini maybe or a bodhisattva 1513 00:57:09,990 --> 00:57:08,799 and instead was this 1514 00:57:10,950 --> 00:57:10,000 eight foot 1515 00:57:13,510 --> 00:57:10,960 tall 1516 00:57:16,470 --> 00:57:13,520 mantis entity and a purple 1517 00:57:17,430 --> 00:57:16,480 indigo cloak with a high collar 1518 00:57:18,309 --> 00:57:17,440 and 1519 00:57:20,710 --> 00:57:18,319 you know 1520 00:57:22,789 --> 00:57:20,720 the entire experience lasted probably a 1521 00:57:25,430 --> 00:57:22,799 minute but as soon as it 1522 00:57:26,789 --> 00:57:25,440 manifest at the end of my bed it shot me 1523 00:57:28,069 --> 00:57:26,799 full of 1524 00:57:53,430 --> 00:57:28,079 a 1525 00:57:55,670 --> 00:57:53,440 highly kinetic 1526 00:57:58,150 --> 00:57:55,680 physical quality to it it affected my 1527 00:58:00,950 --> 00:57:58,160 body very strongly it was 1528 00:58:03,510 --> 00:58:00,960 crazy intense totally unbidden and out 1529 00:58:04,390 --> 00:58:03,520 of nowhere which is probably 1530 00:58:06,470 --> 00:58:04,400 why 1531 00:58:08,150 --> 00:58:06,480 like i said in part i had no response to 1532 00:58:10,470 --> 00:58:08,160 it there wasn't any response or any time 1533 00:58:13,349 --> 00:58:10,480 for that i was just completely 1534 00:58:16,630 --> 00:58:13,359 immersed in a somatic 1535 00:58:19,510 --> 00:58:16,640 experience it wasn't painful but it was 1536 00:58:21,349 --> 00:58:19,520 so intense that the acute 1537 00:58:23,109 --> 00:58:21,359 quality of it i don't think i could have 1538 00:58:24,309 --> 00:58:23,119 handled for very long at all kirsten has 1539 00:58:25,750 --> 00:58:24,319 a very interesting thought about the 1540 00:58:30,870 --> 00:58:25,760 robe 1541 00:58:32,789 --> 00:58:30,880 in part as a filter or an obstruction to 1542 00:58:35,349 --> 00:58:32,799 protect me from the presence of this 1543 00:58:37,190 --> 00:58:35,359 entity which in retrospect i think is 1544 00:58:38,870 --> 00:58:37,200 possibly the best 1545 00:58:40,950 --> 00:58:38,880 as good as any explanation i've ever 1546 00:58:42,230 --> 00:58:40,960 heard about why it would adorn itself in 1547 00:58:44,309 --> 00:58:42,240 this way 1548 00:58:45,510 --> 00:58:44,319 so the experience yeah i got shot full 1549 00:58:49,030 --> 00:58:45,520 of this 1550 00:58:52,069 --> 00:58:49,040 signal or like a thousand signals it 1551 00:58:54,870 --> 00:58:52,079 felt like a library was deposited into 1552 00:58:58,069 --> 00:58:54,880 my body none of it was verbal 1553 00:59:01,670 --> 00:58:58,079 until that shut off instantaneously 1554 00:59:04,150 --> 00:59:01,680 and then it just like deposited it felt 1555 00:59:07,190 --> 00:59:04,160 as though this thing reached over and 1556 00:59:09,270 --> 00:59:07,200 just plopped deposited into my head 1557 00:59:11,990 --> 00:59:09,280 one phrase in english 1558 00:59:13,030 --> 00:59:12,000 which was remember who you work for 1559 00:59:14,549 --> 00:59:13,040 and 1560 00:59:16,710 --> 00:59:14,559 that was it 1561 00:59:18,870 --> 00:59:16,720 so how do you respond to that i took me 1562 00:59:21,430 --> 00:59:18,880 eight years like i said i i 1563 00:59:23,430 --> 00:59:21,440 ate up the better part of the decade 1564 00:59:26,470 --> 00:59:23,440 pacing the planet 1565 00:59:29,349 --> 00:59:26,480 wondering in every conceivable iteration 1566 00:59:31,349 --> 00:59:29,359 what what's with the little phrases 1567 00:59:34,150 --> 00:59:31,359

that i 1663 01:03:13,029 --> 01:03:11,920 didn't really necessarily need to be you 1664 01:03:14,390 --> 01:03:13,039 know 1665 01:03:16,630 --> 01:03:14,400 so 1666 01:03:18,630 --> 01:03:16,640 and i think what what you're what you're 1667 01:03:20,069 --> 01:03:18,640 also alluding to there is is something 1668 01:03:21,510 --> 01:03:20,079 that's really important that a lot of 1669 01:03:24,230 --> 01:03:21,520 experiencers 1670 01:03:26,309 --> 01:03:24,240 uh recognize and it comes up a lot on 1671 01:03:27,190 --> 01:03:26,319 the experiencer group is that 1672 01:03:30,710 --> 01:03:27,200 that 1673 01:03:33,670 --> 01:03:30,720 a lot of these situations are exist a 1674 01:03:35,029 --> 01:03:33,680 lot of these encounters 1675 01:03:37,270 --> 01:03:35,039 exist in 1676 01:03:39,549 --> 01:03:37,280 these kind of subtle realms and these 1677 01:03:41,670 --> 01:03:39,559 contact experiences happen in 1678 01:03:43,270 --> 01:03:41,680 non-ordinary states 1679 01:03:45,349 --> 01:03:43,280 so 1680 01:03:47,510 --> 01:03:45,359 there's strange data points like a lot 1681 01:03:51,029 --> 01:03:47,520 of experiencers start meditating at a 1682 01:03:55,829 --> 01:03:53,670 assuming different religions that were 1683 01:03:58,950 --> 01:03:55,839 involved with that you know middle 1684 01:04:00,549 --> 01:03:58,960 eastern jesus christ now i'm like all of 1685 01:04:03,190 --> 01:04:00,559 a sudden i'm thinking like maybe there 1686 01:04:04,549 --> 01:04:03,200 is something there as far as it's all 1687 01:04:06,870 --> 01:04:04,559 one thing 1688 01:04:09,589 --> 01:04:06,880 you know dude you know 1689 01:04:12,150 --> 01:04:09,599 it's not believe this or believe that 1690 01:04:13,510 --> 01:04:12,160 you know it's i don't know so now things 1691 01:04:14,710 --> 01:04:13,520 are just coming to my head as i talk 1692 01:04:17,349 --> 01:04:14,720 about it but 1693 01:04:19,670 --> 01:04:17,359 yeah but for for me myself like i 1694 01:04:21,990 --> 01:04:19,680 started meditating just to calm the calm 1695 01:04:23,349 --> 01:04:22,000 the f down you know like just so that i 1696 01:04:24,789 --> 01:04:23,359 could kind of 1697 01:04:28,390 --> 01:04:24,799 level out 1698 01:04:31,430 --> 01:04:28,400 uh some years ago in terms of 1699 01:04:34,309 --> 01:04:31,440 straddling these realms between 1700 01:04:37,510 --> 01:04:34,319 these these these encounters and what 1701 01:04:40,630 --> 01:04:37,520 we're told is is is actually happening 1702 01:04:42,950 --> 01:04:40,640 and that happens a lot and there are 1703 01:04:44,789 --> 01:04:42,960 routes like that like what stewart was 1704 01:04:46,069 --> 01:04:44,799 talking about and 1705 01:04:49,349 --> 01:04:46,079 where 1706 01:04:51,190 --> 01:04:49,359 sometimes 1707 01:04:53,270 --> 01:04:51,200 these 1708 01:04:55,750 --> 01:04:53,280 sometimes 1709 01:04:58,630 --> 01:04:55,760 entities might reach out to you in ways 1710 01:04:59,670 --> 01:04:58,640 that are not so obvious 1711 01:05:02,710 --> 01:04:59,680 right 1712 01:05:04,630 --> 01:05:02,720 and and if somebody that is coming from 1713 01:05:07,270 --> 01:05:04,640 a relatively nuts and bolts perspective 1714 01:05:09,190 --> 01:05:07,280 i would point them towards 1715 01:05:11,910 --> 01:05:09,200 maybe remote viewing and things like 1716 01:05:13,589 --> 01:05:11,920 that and the idea of consciousness in 1717 01:05:15,190 --> 01:05:13,599 that kind of realm 1718 01:05:17,990 --> 01:05:15,200 and thinking about 1719 01:05:20,069 --> 01:05:18,000 that remote that remote viewing might be 1720 01:05:23,270 --> 01:05:20,079 able to be 1721 01:05:25,270 --> 01:05:23,280 amplified or accessed by more than one 1722 01:05:27,670 --> 01:05:25,280 group of people like we might not have 1723 01:05:30,390 --> 01:05:27,680 like a total walk on remote viewing 1724 01:05:31,910 --> 01:05:30,400 right sure or moving around 1725 01:05:34,549 --> 01:05:31,920 without our body 1726 01:05:35,990 --> 01:05:34,559 um and so maybe that opens things up and 1727 01:05:38,069 --> 01:05:36,000 maybe that sounds strange but that's 1728 01:05:41,190 --> 01:05:38,079 okay the thing is is that like 1729 01:05:44,069 --> 01:05:41,200 we need to have these conversations 1730 01:05:46,789 --> 01:05:44,079 because so many people within this 1731 01:05:49,589 --> 01:05:46,799 community are so based around 1732 01:05:51,670 --> 01:05:49,599 just thinking about craft 1733 01:05:53,829 --> 01:05:51,680 yeah and they can only talk about 1734 01:05:54,950 --> 01:05:53,839 something the navy videos five miles up 1735 01:05:57,430 --> 01:05:54,960 in the 1736 01:05:59,430 --> 01:05:57,440 frickin sky they can only talk about 1737 01:06:02,870 --> 01:05:59,440 something if they saw it through a 1738 01:06:05,990 --> 01:06:02,880 telescope and it didn't actually 1739 01:06:07,750 --> 01:06:06,000 touch them it didn't touch their 1740 01:06:09,510 --> 01:06:07,760 mind it didn't touch their heart it 1741 01:06:11,670 --> 01:06:09,520 didn't touch their soul however you want 1742 01:06:14,069 --> 01:06:11,680 to put it you know what i mean like 1743 01:06:16,309 --> 01:06:14,079 there there's a level there 1744 01:06:19,750 --> 01:06:16,319 that we need to get over 1745 01:06:21,829 --> 01:06:19,760 and and and it involves vulnerability 1746 01:06:23,430 --> 01:06:21,839 there's an aspect of vulnerability that 1747 01:06:25,589 --> 01:06:23,440 needs to happen here 1748 01:06:27,190 --> 01:06:25,599 and it's not going to get solved by 1749 01:06:30,390 --> 01:06:27,200 telescopes 1750 01:06:32,630 --> 01:06:30,400 and it might not even get solved by by 1751 01:06:34,710 --> 01:06:32,640 government documents like they're like 1752 01:06:36,309 --> 01:06:34,720 that happens too and that needs to 1753 01:06:37,109 --> 01:06:36,319 happen as well 1754 01:06:39,109 --> 01:06:37,119 and 1755 01:06:40,630 --> 01:06:39,119 there's reasons to have all of this 1756 01:06:42,630 --> 01:06:40,640 involved together 1757 01:06:45,750 --> 01:06:42,640 you know sometimes like uh with my 1758 01:06:47,190 --> 01:06:45,760 documents i feel like i'm uh trying to 1759 01:06:49,349 --> 01:06:47,200 um 1760 01:06:51,910 --> 01:06:49,359 that's almost like 1761 01:06:53,270 --> 01:06:51,920 my meditation and way of 1762 01:06:55,589 --> 01:06:53,280 just 1763 01:06:56,470 --> 01:06:55,599 almost a distraction from 1764 01:06:57,990 --> 01:06:56,480 from 1765 01:07:00,789 --> 01:06:58,000 you know maybe 1766 01:07:02,470 --> 01:07:00,799 looking inward more uh which i used to 1767 01:07:05,109 --> 01:07:02,480 do a lot but since 1768 01:07:07,190 --> 01:07:05,119 uh that experience it's kind of almost 1769 01:07:09,910 --> 01:07:07,200 um shook me so much i'm afraid to go 1770 01:07:13,109 --> 01:07:09,920 back if that makes sense 1771 01:07:14,390 --> 01:07:13,119 it's um very very deeply understandable 1772 01:07:16,069 --> 01:07:14,400 yeah so but 1773 01:07:18,549 --> 01:07:16,079 but it is also key to remember to be 1774 01:07:21,589 --> 01:07:18,559 fair like to each their own right as 1775 01:07:22,549 --> 01:07:21,599 long as you respect each other right if 1776 01:07:25,029 --> 01:07:22,559 you want to sit and look in your 1777 01:07:28,549 --> 01:07:25,039 telescope all day looking for ufos good 1778 01:07:31,109 --> 01:07:28,559 on you just 100 don't be mean to me 1779 01:07:33,910 --> 01:07:31,119 for what i'm doing you know yeah a 1780 01:07:35,589 --> 01:07:33,920 hundred percent and one thing that that 1781 01:07:37,829 --> 01:07:35,599 it would be cool to bring up is that you 1782 01:07:40,789 --> 01:07:37,839 know there are other even within our 1783 01:07:42,630 --> 01:07:40,799 within the experiencer group there are 1784 01:07:44,630 --> 01:07:42,640 smaller groups 1785 01:07:47,510 --> 01:07:44,640 that that help these conversations 1786 01:07:48,789 --> 01:07:47,520 happen because even in these situations 1787 01:07:50,069 --> 01:07:48,799 it's helpful 1788 01:07:52,549 --> 01:07:50,079 to 1789 01:07:53,829 --> 01:07:52,559 kind of have that diner table where 1790 01:07:56,390 --> 01:07:53,839 where where 1791 01:07:57,750 --> 01:07:56,400 you know everybody in the room 1792 01:08:00,069 --> 01:07:57,760 things like that 1793 01:08:02,789 --> 01:08:00,079 and um for example 1794 01:08:04,470 --> 01:08:02,799 kirsten has has runs a group while she 1795 01:08:05,670 --> 01:08:04,480 co-hosts a group 1796 01:08:07,430 --> 01:08:05,680 that's 1797 01:08:09,270 --> 01:08:07,440 uh just for women 1798 01:08:12,069 --> 01:08:09,280 um kristen 1799 01:08:15,029 --> 01:08:12,079 if you don't mind sean i i no of course 1800

um we you know we saw the need 1804 01:08:28,870 --> 01:08:25,520 pretty pretty early um that there are 1805 01:08:30,870 --> 01:08:28,880 there are situations for women uh men 1806 01:08:33,669 --> 01:08:30,880 too this is not to exclude men in any 1807 01:08:35,749 --> 01:08:33,679 way but for women to 1808 01:08:37,189 --> 01:08:35,759 where they can't talk about certain 1809 01:08:40,789 --> 01:08:37,199 things 1810 01:08:42,870 --> 01:08:40,799 in a open mixed meeting so 1811 01:08:45,510 --> 01:08:42,880 and a lot of those subjects may have to 1812 01:08:46,390 --> 01:08:45,520 do with um you know 1813 01:08:47,110 --> 01:08:46,400 um 1814 01:08:52,870 --> 01:08:47,120 so 1815 01:08:57,030 --> 01:08:52,880 you know um 1816 01:08:58,870 --> 01:08:57,040 reproductive systems uh physical um 1817 01:09:01,510 --> 01:08:58,880 you know things left over physically 1818 01:09:02,630 --> 01:09:01,520 from anomalous experiences 1819 01:09:05,430 --> 01:09:02,640 um 1820 01:09:07,910 --> 01:09:05,440 and it's not just to do with 1821 01:09:10,950 --> 01:09:07,920 abduction or contactees it's also to do 1822 01:09:12,550 --> 01:09:10,960 with people uh women who have perhaps 1823 01:09:16,390 --> 01:09:12,560 had a 1824 01:09:17,910 --> 01:09:16,400 strange uncomfortable and um 1825 01:09:20,709 --> 01:09:17,920 embarrassing 1826 01:09:21,590 --> 01:09:20,719 experience with a spirit 1827 01:09:23,349 --> 01:09:21,600 um 1828 01:09:25,110 --> 01:09:23,359 so you probably don't want to make 1829 01:09:27,829 --> 01:09:25,120 yourself vulnerable in front of men 1830 01:09:28,789 --> 01:09:27,839 right no well and it's it's interesting 1831 01:09:30,229 --> 01:09:28,799 because 1832 01:09:32,070 --> 01:09:30,239 you know the culture of the experiencer

supportive um 1836 01:09:44,550 --> 01:09:42,880 energy in any uh meeting but it still 1837 01:09:48,149 --> 01:09:44,560 doesn't 1838 01:09:49,910 --> 01:09:48,159 replace just the company of women

really look at this uh topic 1877 01:11:10,470 --> 01:11:08,960 if you go to just the ufo side of it or 1878 01:11:13,590 --> 01:11:10,480 whatever 1879 01:11:16,149 --> 01:11:13,600 people who haven't had experiences or 1880 01:11:19,750 --> 01:11:16,159 how i was before i had an experience the 1881 01:11:20,870 --> 01:11:19,760 whole thing seems bizarre and it's hard 1882 01:11:21,830 --> 01:11:20,880 to believe 1883 01:11:24,709 --> 01:11:21,840 you know 1884 01:11:26,950 --> 01:11:24,719 so what makes my experience 1885 01:11:28,550 --> 01:11:26,960 so much harder to believe 1886 01:11:30,630 --> 01:11:28,560 than what you're already trying to 1887 01:11:31,990 --> 01:11:30,640 believe 1888 01:11:33,350 --> 01:11:32,000 and so why are you being mean to me 1889 01:11:35,270 --> 01:11:33,360 about it 1890 01:11:37,030 --> 01:11:35,280 you know because it's not the idea of 1891 01:11:39,510 --> 01:11:37,040 what you want to believe like that 1892 01:11:42,390 --> 01:11:39,520 that's not fair stay kind 1893 01:11:43,830 --> 01:11:42,400 stay curious i like it 1894 01:11:47,990 --> 01:11:43,840 and there's 1895 01:11:50,229 --> 01:11:48,000 able to talk out 1896 01:11:53,110 --> 01:11:50,239 um your personal testimony being able to 1897 01:11:55,510 --> 01:11:53,120 kind of release this kind of energy 1898 01:11:57,750 --> 01:11:55,520 so it's not just zoomer it's not just 1899 01:11:59,350 --> 01:11:57,760 zoom groups we have a custom built 1900 01:12:00,950 --> 01:11:59,360 social interface 1901 01:12:01,750 --> 01:12:00,960 um 1902 01:12:03,669 --> 01:12:01,760 and 1903 01:12:05,270 --> 01:12:03,679 there's a few different modes with which 1904 01:12:08,149 --> 01:12:05,280 people can reach each other we have a 1905 01:12:09,430 --> 01:12:08,159 private discord we have our own custom 1906 01:12:11,830 --> 01:12:09,440 built site 1907 01:12:15,110 --> 01:12:11,840 and and so people can kind of go off 1908 01:12:17,189 --> 01:12:15,120 into their corners in a way and and dm 1909 01:12:21,270 --> 01:12:17,199 each other compare notes 1910 01:12:22,550 --> 01:12:21,280 find resonances and so at this point 1911 01:12:24,149 --> 01:12:22,560 since we started at the beginning of 1912 01:12:26,790 --> 01:12:24,159 february there's 1913 01:12:29,510 --> 01:12:26,800 all these cool points where 1914 01:12:31,750 --> 01:12:29,520 where i'll be talking to somebody and it 1915 01:12:32,550 --> 01:12:31,760 turns out that there's this whole other 1916 01:12:36,149 --> 01:12:32,560 this 1917 01:12:38,470 --> 01:12:36,159 between some of the members that we 1918 01:12:39,990 --> 01:12:38,480 weren't even privy to because they just 1919 01:12:41,830 --> 01:12:40,000 bonded so much 1920 01:12:43,590 --> 01:12:41,840 and because of their experience or 1921 01:12:44,950 --> 01:12:43,600 because because of their resonance with 1922 01:12:47,750 --> 01:12:44,960 each other and 1923 01:12:49,590 --> 01:12:47,760 and seeing stuff like that happen is is 1924 01:12:50,630 --> 01:12:49,600 really really crucial 1925 01:12:52,229 --> 01:12:50,640 and 1926 01:12:54,550 --> 01:12:52,239 even just 1927 01:12:56,950 --> 01:12:54,560 being able to kind of lay it out 1928 01:13:00,070 --> 01:12:56,960 being able to talk it out 1929 01:13:02,709 --> 01:13:00,080 and and and spill it out without without 1930 01:13:05,669 --> 01:13:02,719 being judged is critically important i 1931 01:13:08,149 --> 01:13:05,679 think one of the reasons why even the 1932 01:13:10,070 --> 01:13:08,159 we created the experiencer group and why 1933 01:13:11,669 --> 01:13:10,080 stuart is such a crucial component of 1934 01:13:14,709 --> 01:13:11,679 that is because 1935 01:13:18,390 --> 01:13:14,719 we were all inspired by aliens and 1936 01:13:20,149 --> 01:13:18,400 artists his podcast and and and aliens 1937 01:13:21,830 --> 01:13:20,159 and artists which i've known about 1938 01:13:25,590 --> 01:13:21,840 before i even knew that you guys were 1939 01:13:27,110 --> 01:13:25,600 affiliated with it which is amazing 1940 01:13:29,110 --> 01:13:27,120 but i'm like all right stuart i got to 1941 01:13:31,590 --> 01:13:29,120 look at this guy yep 1942 01:13:32,870 --> 01:13:31,600 you got to be kidding me 1943 01:13:36,390 --> 01:13:32,880 it's just so 1944 01:13:37,110 --> 01:13:36,400 dang well done i mean like i i went on 1945 01:13:41,430 --> 01:13:37,120 it 1946 01:13:43,430 --> 01:13:41,440 september of last year 1947 01:13:46,070 --> 01:13:43,440 and those episodes came out in january 1948 01:13:48,950 --> 01:13:46,080 kirsten was just on it this last month 1949 01:13:50,630 --> 01:13:48,960 um and but there's 1950 01:13:54,390 --> 01:13:50,640 such a rich 1951 01:13:55,430 --> 01:13:54,400 body of work there um to look at and 1952 01:13:59,110 --> 01:13:55,440 you know 1953 01:14:03,830 --> 01:13:59,120 before coming out to the public 1954 01:14:05,990 --> 01:14:03,840 two weeks ago for myself yeah um and 1955 01:14:08,229 --> 01:14:06,000 being able to 1956 01:14:10,550 --> 01:14:08,239 walk around i go on long walks pretty 1957 01:14:12,149 --> 01:14:10,560 much every day and i would listen 1958 01:14:13,830 --> 01:14:12,159 there's a whole stretch of months and 1959 01:14:17,669 --> 01:14:13,840 this still happens when he's got a new 1960 01:14:19,430 --> 01:14:17,679 episode out i i walk around and i listen 1961 01:14:20,870 --> 01:14:19,440 to these accounts of these other 1962 01:14:22,790 --> 01:14:20,880 experiencers 1963 01:14:25,110 --> 01:14:22,800 and there are a couple other podcasts 1964 01:14:26,070 --> 01:14:25,120 like that but there's 1965 01:14:27,830 --> 01:14:26,080 there's 1966 01:14:30,229 --> 01:14:27,840 something about hearing the intimacy of 1967 01:14:32,229 --> 01:14:30,239 that that was really inspirational and i 1968 01:14:34,229 --> 01:14:32,239 think that it really shifted the tenor 1969 01:14:35,510 --> 01:14:34,239 from for me of 1970 01:14:38,790 --> 01:14:35,520 of what 1971 01:14:39,750 --> 01:14:38,800 what could be done in this kind of space 1972 01:14:42,790 --> 01:14:39,760 and 1973 01:14:45,350 --> 01:14:42,800 how it could be taken 1974 01:14:47,669 --> 01:14:45,360 where it could be taken because so much 1975 01:14:50,310 --> 01:14:47,679 of ufology is built around these rules 1976 01:14:52,630 --> 01:14:50,320 and these parameters that we learned 1977 01:14:54,630 --> 01:14:52,640 from people like jl and heineck we 1978 01:14:57,189 --> 01:14:54,640 learned from people who are already 1979 01:14:58,950 --> 01:14:57,199 compromised right that that we were 1980 01:15:01,430 --> 01:14:58,960 supposed to look at the pentagon we were 1981 01:15:03,270 --> 01:15:01,440 supposed to ask the pentagon for answers 1982 01:15:05,590 --> 01:15:03,280 right that we were supposed to 1983 01:15:08,470 --> 01:15:05,600 automatically think about swamp gas 1984 01:15:10,550 --> 01:15:08,480 things like that we weren't supposed to 1985 01:15:12,390 --> 01:15:10,560 look at mythology we weren't supposed to 1986 01:15:14,229 --> 01:15:12,400 look at the history of spirituality and 1987 01:15:18,390 --> 01:15:14,239 religion we weren't supposed to look at 1988 01:15:20,229 --> 01:15:18,400 where else these records could exist 1989 01:15:21,590 --> 01:15:20,239 in in history 1990 01:15:22,790 --> 01:15:21,600 yeah and 1991 01:15:25,189 --> 01:15:22,800 and 1992 01:15:28,229 --> 01:15:25,199 that kind of that kind of rooting still 1993 01:15:30,310 --> 01:15:28,239 happens now where there's cons there's 1994 01:15:32,550 --> 01:15:30,320 constantly i mean if you exist within 1995 01:15:34,630 --> 01:15:32,560 ufology you're you're in this framework 1996 01:15:37,510 --> 01:15:34,640 where people are constantly trying to 1997 01:15:39,669 --> 01:15:37,520 like it's like a laser pointer 1998 01:15:41,910 --> 01:15:39,679 yeah it's like a laser pointer and a cat 1999 01:15:43,430 --> 01:15:41,920 they're lit it's like it's like go over 2000 01:15:45,270 --> 01:15:43,440 here go over here it's where the 2001 01:15:47,430 --> 01:15:45,280 pentagon is like go over there go to 2002 01:15:49,350 --> 01:15:47,440 langley or whatever yeah and if you 2003 01:15:51,350 --> 01:15:49,360 don't the pentagon folks won't want to 2004 01:15:52,390 --> 01:15:51,360 talk to you 2005 01:15:54,870 --> 01:15:52,400 that's right 2006 01:15:57,270 --> 01:15:54,880 but that's part of the decentralization 2007 01:16:00,149 --> 01:15:57,280 of these cases because like you have a 2008 01:16:01,110 --> 01:16:00,159 history sean and it's and that in the 2009 01:16:02,870 --> 01:16:01,120 end 2010 01:16:05,270 --> 01:16:02,880 that kind of that 2011 01:16:06,950 --> 01:16:05,280 that kind of situation is more resonant 2012 01:16:09,350 --> 01:16:06,960 it's going to be more resonant it's 2013 01:16:12,070 --> 01:16:09,360 going to be more important to you than 2014 01:16:14,070 --> 01:16:12,080 anything that you ever read from dc 2015 01:16:15,669 --> 01:16:14,080 and the same is true for me and the same 2016 01:16:17,590 --> 01:16:15,679 is true for stuart and the same is true 2017 01:16:19,510 --> 01:16:17,600 for kirsten and anybody else that's had 2018 01:16:21,350 --> 01:16:19,520 these kinds of experiences 2019 01:16:23,030 --> 01:16:21,360 and so there's a different way that we 2020 01:16:24,070 --> 01:16:23,040 can have these conversations and that we 2021 01:16:26,149 --> 01:16:24,080 can hear 2022 01:16:26,870 --> 01:16:26,159 this kind of dialogue 2023 01:16:34,470 --> 01:16:26,880 and 2024 01:16:36,149 --> 01:16:34,480 of having all of those people involved 2025 01:16:37,750 --> 01:16:36,159 in the conversation 2026 01:16:39,030 --> 01:16:37,760 it can also 2027 01:16:44,470 --> 01:16:39,040 it can 2028 01:16:47,030 --> 01:16:44,480 varied 2029 01:16:48,950 --> 01:16:47,040 the this experience can be 2030 01:16:51,270 --> 01:16:48,960 our lived experience 2031 01:16:53,430 --> 01:16:51,280 not just anomalous experience right 2032 01:16:54,229 --> 01:16:53,440 but we can look at this the width of 2033 01:16:57,510 --> 01:16:54,239 that 2034 01:16:58,310 --> 01:16:57,520 and and it can give us a wider framework 2035 01:17:00,950 --> 01:16:58,320 and 2036 01:17:02,950 --> 01:17:00,960 maybe it can help us be more empathetic 2037 01:17:06,229 --> 01:17:02,960 to other people i don't know but i i 2038 01:17:07,350 --> 01:17:06,239 would hope so and in the meantime 2039 01:17:09,669 --> 01:17:07,360 um 2040 01:17:11,110 --> 01:17:09,679 i know that i feel this way and kirsten 2041 01:17:12,950 --> 01:17:11,120 and stuart do as well that the 2042 01:17:14,149 --> 01:17:12,960 experiencer group is absolutely 2043 01:17:15,830 --> 01:17:14,159 necessary 2044 01:17:17,830 --> 01:17:15,840 for us in terms of this kind of 2045 01:17:19,030 --> 01:17:17,840 framework because 2046 01:17:20,630 --> 01:17:19,040 people 2047 01:17:22,229 --> 01:17:20,640 like you 2048 01:17:23,510 --> 01:17:22,239 people like us 2049 01:17:25,110 --> 01:17:23,520 people that have had anonymous 2050 01:17:26,470 --> 01:17:25,120 experiences 2051 01:17:29,110 --> 01:17:26,480 maybe they can share it with people 2052 01:17:30,390 --> 01:17:29,120 around them maybe they can't maybe those 2053 01:17:32,790 --> 01:17:30,400 they don't feel like they really 2054 01:17:34,630 --> 01:17:32,800 connected maybe they tried to tell their 2055 01:17:36,870 --> 01:17:34,640 mom or their sister or their wife or 2056 01:17:38,550 --> 01:17:36,880 their husband about this stuff and it 2057 01:17:40,070 --> 01:17:38,560 didn't quite land 2058 01:17:43,270 --> 01:17:40,080 it didn't resonate 2059 01:17:46,790 --> 01:17:43,280 you know oh or or you saw or you saw 2060 01:17:49,110 --> 01:17:46,800 them kind of get it but not really and 2061 01:17:50,950 --> 01:17:49,120 you know and that can be a really 2062 01:17:52,709 --> 01:17:50,960 it sounds like that could be 2063 01:17:53,910 --> 01:17:52,719 you maybe you found that to be the case 2064 01:17:54,870 --> 01:17:53,920 but it can be a really

01:20:00,480 in jay's reflections on the multifaceted 2121 01:20:05,350 --> 01:20:02,719 nature of this and how 2122 01:20:07,350 --> 01:20:05,360 we really don't have to succumb 2123 01:20:10,229 --> 01:20:07,360 to the superficial 2124 01:20:12,149 --> 01:20:10,239 notion that this is going to collapse to 2125 01:20:17,830 --> 01:20:12,159 one particular 2126 01:20:21,030 --> 01:20:17,840 need nuts and bolts we need rationality 2127 01:20:23,110 --> 01:20:21,040 we need the assessment and analyzation 2128 01:20:25,590 --> 01:20:23,120 of the physical properties of this 2129 01:20:27,510 --> 01:20:25,600 everything from radar data that's why we 2130 01:20:29,990 --> 01:20:27,520 love the leslie keynes that's why we 2131 01:20:33,350 --> 01:20:30,000 love all of these brilliant 2132 01:20:35,270 --> 01:20:33,360 scientists my personal advocacy is that 2133 01:20:38,070 --> 01:20:35,280 we also need 2134 01:20:39,830 --> 01:20:38,080 the spiritual the emotional 2135 01:20:42,790 --> 01:20:39,840 the metaphysical 2136 01:20:46,550 --> 01:20:42,800 every human being born is endowed with a 2137 01:20:49,110 --> 01:20:46,560 suite of capacities that include 2138 01:20:50,149 --> 01:20:49,120 an interiority that's just as big on the 2139 01:20:52,070 --> 01:20:50,159 inside 2140 01:20:54,550 --> 01:20:52,080 one of the things that i felt as an 2141 01:20:56,870 --> 01:20:54,560 experiencer is that the universe is just 2142 01:21:00,149 --> 01:20:56,880 as big on the inside and there are 2143 01:21:02,070 --> 01:21:00,159 technologies there are very old lineages 2144 01:21:04,790 --> 01:21:02,080 that specialize 2145 01:21:05,510 --> 01:21:04,800 and plumb the depths of the interiors 2146 01:21:07,510 --> 01:21:05,520 and 2147 01:21:10,629 --> 01:21:07,520 in my view like it or not 2148 01:21:13,590 --> 01:21:10,639 the phenomenon has an inner life and we 2149 01:21:16,629 --> 01:21:13,600 will never enter into a more meaningful 2150 01:21:19,110 --> 01:21:16,639 relationship with it by excluding its 2151 01:21:21,270 --> 01:21:19,120 inner life it is meeting us and our 2152 01:21:23,510 --> 01:21:21,280 inner life i i think you're it is 2153 01:21:25,669 --> 01:21:23,520 account that you shared sean is a great 2154 01:21:27,830 --> 01:21:25,679 indicator of that and 2155 01:21:30,229 --> 01:21:27,840 so i love that that got brought up here 2156 01:21:32,310 --> 01:21:30,239 today and that's certainly a big part of 2157 01:21:34,390 --> 01:21:32,320 where the love come from comes from in 2158 01:21:35,669 --> 01:21:34,400 our
