The podcast blends consciousness exploration, 18 00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:27,640 Speaker 4: psychedelic philosophy, spirituality, technology, and esoteric ideas such as non 19 00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:33,759 Speaker 4: human intelligences, altered states, simulation theory ets and interdimensional phenomena. 20 00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:38,320 Speaker 4: He also explores the deep thinkers of history and their philosophies, 21 00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:41,840 Speaker 4: and he is a very curious person about the true 22 00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:45,520 Speaker 4: nature of reality. He's right up my ALLEI. Hey, Michael, 23 00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:46,200 Speaker 4: welcome to the show. 24 00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:47,640 Speaker 5: How you doing doing well? 25 00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:47,840 Speaker 1: Man? 26 00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:49,880 Speaker 5: Doing well? I always like when I hear an introduction 27 00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:52,240 Speaker 5: that isn't something that I wrote, you know, four or 28 00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:55,200 Speaker 5: five years ago, and I cringe at and so, yeah, 29 00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:57,960 Speaker 5: that was a nice novel way to start things out, 30 00:01:58,160 --> 00:01:59,400 Speaker 5: and I agree with that assessment. 31 00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:01,920 Speaker 4: It is man. So I've watched a lot of your 32 00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:04,520 Speaker 4: stuff and I really recommend it to everyone listening. And 33 00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:07,279 Speaker 4: much of what you talk about seems to be rooted 34 00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:11,959 Speaker 4: more in philosophies and ancient traditions. You're very well versed 35 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:14,160 Speaker 4: in all of these areas, and I'm curious to hear 36 00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:17,680 Speaker 4: where do you sit today regarding the UFO phenomena? 37 00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:20,520 Speaker 5: Yeah, Man, well, kind of like we were just alluding 38 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:24,080 Speaker 5: to or talking about specifically actually before we were recording. 39 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:27,640 Speaker 5: You know, when these experiences do happen with what you 40 00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:30,720 Speaker 5: perceive to be the other, right, there are so many 41 00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:33,360 Speaker 5: biases we have in terms of like I think the 42 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:35,640 Speaker 5: first bias is we just want to understand, right, Like, 43 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:38,520 Speaker 5: let's say you have some kind of anomalist experience with 44 00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:41,640 Speaker 5: something you can explain that feels intelligent beyond you. The 45 00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:44,040 Speaker 5: human mind wants to know. It wants to know what 46 00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:46,960 Speaker 5: bucket do I put this in? And alien is a 47 00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:50,679 Speaker 5: very clean bucket. You know, we can sort of understand 48 00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,480 Speaker 5: that it sort of makes sense with our modern POV. 49 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:57,720 Speaker 5: But in my experience, if we're more intellectually honest, I 50 00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:00,760 Speaker 5: think it could be something that if it's in any 51 00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:04,640 Speaker 5: number of buckets and maybe none or maybe all of 52 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,000 Speaker 5: them somehow in some kind of like a you know, 53 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:11,280 Speaker 5: Jacques Valais kind of way, where it's like this intelligence 54 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:16,280 Speaker 5: or system that can take on many different forms, including 55 00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:19,320 Speaker 5: what appears to be alien, including what appears to be 56 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:24,880 Speaker 5: a Marian apparition or a faery or whatever. So I 57 00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:30,600 Speaker 5: think generally that's the kind of hypothesis I gravitate toward, 58 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:34,400 Speaker 5: is that whatever this is, it's probably far beyond us. 59 00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:38,280 Speaker 5: It's probably rooted in consciousness, and it probably has the 60 00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:42,040 Speaker 5: ability to present itself in any number of ways. Also 61 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:44,400 Speaker 5: very similar to like a John Keel, you know, ultra 62 00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:48,440 Speaker 5: terrestrial hypothesis sort of line of thinking I would say, 63 00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 5: you know. 64 00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:54,920 Speaker 4: In today's world, we're just flooded with misinformation, disinformation, misidentification 65 00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:59,480 Speaker 4: even and even intentional disinformation. Of course, so you also 66 00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,120 Speaker 4: point out how we can look to many of these old, 67 00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:05,640 Speaker 4: ancient traditions that can give us some insights to interacting 68 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:07,000 Speaker 4: with the phenomenon. 69 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:09,120 Speaker 5: Right, yeah, because I think you know, whatever this is. 70 00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:12,360 Speaker 5: Of course, there's like modern UFO or like it starts 71 00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:15,640 Speaker 5: in the nineteen forties, you know, famous crashes like Roswell 72 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:18,599 Speaker 5: et cetera. And there are some I feel like potential 73 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:22,200 Speaker 5: coherent reasons for why it would have only just started then. 74 00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,720 Speaker 5: But I really gravitate toward the idea that whatever it 75 00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:28,120 Speaker 5: is has been going on for far, far longer than that, 76 00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:33,600 Speaker 5: And what's really shifted is our cultural and linguistic and 77 00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:38,280 Speaker 5: conceptual tool set for describing whatever this is. When you 78 00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:41,279 Speaker 5: go back to ancient Greece, for instance, their culture is 79 00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:45,440 Speaker 5: replete with non human intelligence. Right, You've got angels, you've 80 00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:49,040 Speaker 5: got daimonas which eventually become demons. You've got gods depending 81 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:52,200 Speaker 5: on who you're reading, you've got hyper cosmic gods, and 82 00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:56,000 Speaker 5: maybe more interestingly and more harmonic with the UFO phenomena. 83 00:04:56,240 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 5: There are appearances that are talked about, appearances of lights appearing, 84 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,480 Speaker 5: says of intelligence is you know, there are biblical stories 85 00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:07,320 Speaker 5: of people being taken up by angelic figures to the 86 00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:09,520 Speaker 5: throne of God. And I understand that these are like 87 00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 5: controversial things to conflate, but I also feel like it's 88 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:14,440 Speaker 5: too tempting not. 89 00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:17,880 Speaker 4: To right on the note almost it's so parallel. And 90 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,039 Speaker 4: why would we not call that a god. If we 91 00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:22,680 Speaker 4: went to a tribe that was disconnected and we showed 92 00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:24,240 Speaker 4: them an iPhone and you could talk to anyone in 93 00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:26,480 Speaker 4: the world, we would be gods. You know that kind 94 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:28,320 Speaker 4: of a thing. Technology is god. 95 00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:31,320 Speaker 5: Like, yes, And you know, with some of these more 96 00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:36,359 Speaker 5: current revelations from whistleblowers, there seems to be almost a 97 00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:38,839 Speaker 5: strange return to this. Have you noticed that, Like, there 98 00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:43,200 Speaker 5: seems to be a strange return to Yes, there's technology involved, 99 00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:45,280 Speaker 5: but you're not going to get to the root of 100 00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:48,320 Speaker 5: whatever this is unless you're asking the question through the 101 00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:51,920 Speaker 5: prism of consciousness, Like, through the prism of this is 102 00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:55,440 Speaker 5: not just reducible to nuts and bolts and some super 103 00:05:55,480 --> 00:06:00,839 Speaker 5: advanced civilization. There's something fundamentally consciousness based about all of this. 104 00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:04,680 Speaker 5: And when you start to marry those two things, like 105 00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:09,679 Speaker 5: hyper advanced technology with higher intelligence, you know, maybe maybe 106 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:13,160 Speaker 5: something like a god or spiritual being isn't the worst 107 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:16,680 Speaker 5: descriptor maybe it's closer to the truth. We're equally close 108 00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,279 Speaker 5: to the truth to alien. I'm not personally married to 109 00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:20,839 Speaker 5: any nomenclature at all. 110 00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:23,760 Speaker 4: Right, but it's well phrased. The way you put that together. 111 00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,640 Speaker 4: It even reminded me of how you're using the word technology. 112 00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:29,800 Speaker 4: You know, Gallimore says DMT is not a drug, it's 113 00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,680 Speaker 4: a technology, you know, And it almost feels like these 114 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:35,880 Speaker 4: ancient traditions, in this ancient way of thinking and the 115 00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,080 Speaker 4: ability to we probably had a better control of our 116 00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:41,640 Speaker 4: consciousness and maybe some of these siabilities two thousand years 117 00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:43,680 Speaker 4: ago more than we are five thousand years ago, more 118 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:45,880 Speaker 4: than we have today, which is incredible. You know. I 119 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,520 Speaker 4: like the idea that this material that you're talking about, 120 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:51,960 Speaker 4: these ancient traditions, was there before cover ups and social 121 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:55,480 Speaker 4: media and the lore building upon itself. You know, that's 122 00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:57,279 Speaker 4: a kind of a problem we have today because of 123 00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:00,880 Speaker 4: the proliferation of these stories. Now, that's why the early 124 00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:05,400 Speaker 4: accounts of UFOs or encounters with beings, because today, you know, 125 00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:08,280 Speaker 4: kids grow up seeing that on TV, which we didn't, 126 00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:11,320 Speaker 4: you know, fifty years ago. All of this disinformation encounter 127 00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:14,720 Speaker 4: intelligence that permeates our world. It affects the way these 128 00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:17,880 Speaker 4: things are since we're dealing with what, for the moment 129 00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:21,720 Speaker 4: is really a complete unknown. It's so hard to pin 130 00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:24,840 Speaker 4: down any of it for certain, But you can't examine 131 00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:28,400 Speaker 4: the phenomenon from so many different disciplines and see patterns 132 00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:31,640 Speaker 4: and themes and even specific accounts that seem to repeat 133 00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:34,600 Speaker 4: throughout history. Have you found that to be the case. 134 00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:38,880 Speaker 5: Yeah, to some degree. But I think it gets tricky 135 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:44,800 Speaker 5: because I think, on one hand, experiencer accounts and whistleblowers 136 00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:47,560 Speaker 5: and people at firsthand knowledge is such a double edged 137 00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:52,040 Speaker 5: short sword because simultaneously I think they are the most compelling, 138 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:57,720 Speaker 5: but also, just due to human psychology, they can also 139 00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:01,040 Speaker 5: be the most dubious. Right, So it's it's hard to 140 00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:03,720 Speaker 5: ever separate wheat from the chaff in terms of like, 141 00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:06,920 Speaker 5: this person's real, this person's a liar, this person's a 142 00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:10,600 Speaker 5: disinformation agent, this person's legit. So I feel like that's 143 00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:15,360 Speaker 5: one of those things, those those pieces of dissonance when 144 00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:19,000 Speaker 5: you're trying to follow the breadcrumbs that you're always going 145 00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:21,720 Speaker 5: to run into, right because my favorite whistleblower might be 146 00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:23,320 Speaker 5: somebody who I say and you're like, oh, that guy's 147 00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:26,200 Speaker 5: a spook immediately, and then you run into this and 148 00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:28,800 Speaker 5: you can't know, right, like despite your best efforts, and 149 00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:31,360 Speaker 5: you know, Wow, that guy really seems legit to me, 150 00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:34,360 Speaker 5: That guy really seems like he has our best interest 151 00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:35,600 Speaker 5: in mind. At the end of the day, we just 152 00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:39,680 Speaker 5: don't know what that person's psychology is. So in some ways, yeah, 153 00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:41,920 Speaker 5: I do think that there does seem to be this 154 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:46,160 Speaker 5: grammar to these experiences. It's weird because I put stock 155 00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:48,800 Speaker 5: in that. But then I also my intellect jumps in 156 00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:51,040 Speaker 5: and is like, or is there a grammar there? Because 157 00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:54,160 Speaker 5: there's like this weird emulation occurring. There's like this weird 158 00:08:54,840 --> 00:09:00,440 Speaker 5: mimetic fan fiction like occurring, you know. But I do 159 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:03,439 Speaker 5: think they're probably if you made me just state yes 160 00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:06,040 Speaker 5: or no, do I think there's a there there? I 161 00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:09,479 Speaker 5: do think there is. I do think there's some overlap 162 00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:12,840 Speaker 5: to these experiences. That's that's real, right, And I do 163 00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:15,360 Speaker 5: think it runs from the ancient world to the modern. 164 00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:19,240 Speaker 5: But you've got to be it's so tricky because it's 165 00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:21,640 Speaker 5: just you either want to project the ancient onto the 166 00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:24,720 Speaker 5: modern or the modern onto the ancient. Right, you'd be like, no, 167 00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:29,280 Speaker 5: it's these beings that were interact It's the Onunaki that 168 00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:32,960 Speaker 5: the Mesopotamians were talking about, you know, six thousand years ago. 169 00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:36,800 Speaker 5: Or no, it's the Arctorians. That's who the Mesopotamians were 170 00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:38,800 Speaker 5: interacting with. And at the end of the day, I 171 00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:41,120 Speaker 5: just don't know. So, like I said, I'm not married 172 00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:45,200 Speaker 5: to any nomenclature. But if you examine the information carefully, 173 00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:47,000 Speaker 5: I do think that there's a grammar there, and I 174 00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:49,840 Speaker 5: think people like Jacquees prolet again do like just such 175 00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:54,480 Speaker 5: an amazing job of highlighting what these commonalities are outside 176 00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:59,640 Speaker 5: of the cultural associations, outside of the popular mythologies and 177 00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:00,640 Speaker 5: lower of the day. 178 00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:03,400 Speaker 4: Yeah, there's no doubt in my mind that there is 179 00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:06,920 Speaker 4: something going on. There is something beyond our three D reality, 180 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:09,400 Speaker 4: new Tonian physics, all of that. I really do believe 181 00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:12,160 Speaker 4: there's something beyond materialism. But that's almost like where it 182 00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:14,920 Speaker 4: ends for me, because I really just have absolutely no idea, 183 00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:17,959 Speaker 4: even if I've had an experience, it's so beyond us. 184 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,560 Speaker 4: I feel like it's very difficult in our human terms, 185 00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:23,920 Speaker 4: at this level of technological development. To really have a 186 00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:26,400 Speaker 4: grasp of what's happening, we need to take a break here. Brother. 187 00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:28,760 Speaker 4: When we come back, we're going to continue this conversation 188 00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:33,000 Speaker 4: with Michael and delve into the actual alien beings, keeping 189 00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:35,240 Speaker 4: in mind that they may not be from another planet. 190 00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:38,080 Speaker 4: You're listening to Beyond Contact on the iHeartRadio and Coast 191 00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:59,960 Speaker 4: to Coast AM Paranormal podcast network. We are back at 192 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:02,360 Speaker 4: and Beyond Contact. We're speaking with Michael Phillip from Third 193 00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:04,840 Speaker 4: Eye Drops. Michael. Not that long ago, it felt like 194 00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:08,440 Speaker 4: there was this idea that these ets were beings that 195 00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:11,000 Speaker 4: lived on another planet and traveled here in nuts and 196 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,520 Speaker 4: boltz craft, like we talked about then. Over the years, 197 00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:16,679 Speaker 4: we've had these different ideas and stories of beings coming 198 00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:22,080 Speaker 4: from other places, like other dimensions, other timelines, different vibrational states, 199 00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:27,000 Speaker 4: hidden corners of Earth itself, coexisting here, spiritual beings, all 200 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:30,000 Speaker 4: these different ideas, there is one more that I'd like 201 00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:32,800 Speaker 4: to touch on that sometimes gets overlooked, and that's the 202 00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:36,760 Speaker 4: idea that seems to also go back millennia, and that's 203 00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:40,840 Speaker 4: the notion of these metaphysical entities which are somehow based 204 00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:43,840 Speaker 4: in the evolution of our consciousness and perhaps even get 205 00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:47,160 Speaker 4: manifested to our reality that we may be able to 206 00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:51,040 Speaker 4: access through psychedelics like ayahuasca and DMT. What are your 207 00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:53,120 Speaker 4: thoughts about the accounts of these beings. 208 00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:56,880 Speaker 5: Yeah, it's very compelling. And again this is sort of 209 00:11:56,920 --> 00:12:00,560 Speaker 5: where I gravitate on the Nhi question in gen is 210 00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:02,960 Speaker 5: that if you look to these stories, if you look 211 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:06,880 Speaker 5: to shamanistic stories, ancient Greek stories, ancient Hindu stories, it's 212 00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:10,840 Speaker 5: all very similar. To just put it bluntly, it's all 213 00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:11,560 Speaker 5: very similar. 214 00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:11,800 Speaker 4: Right. 215 00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:14,000 Speaker 5: There's a world we live in, a three D world 216 00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:17,800 Speaker 5: of physical reality of things that if I'm looking at 217 00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:19,720 Speaker 5: it and no one moves it, it's going to stay 218 00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:22,360 Speaker 5: right there. If I park my car across the street, 219 00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:24,680 Speaker 5: it's going to be there when I get back. But 220 00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:28,560 Speaker 5: then there's this subtler realm that goes by many names, right, 221 00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:32,319 Speaker 5: and within this subtler realm, there are things that exist. 222 00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:36,200 Speaker 5: There are life forms, there are intelligences, there are other consciousnesses. Now, 223 00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:39,079 Speaker 5: if you're a South American shaman, you're going to call 224 00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:42,840 Speaker 5: those consciousnesses a whole panoply of certain things. If you're 225 00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:46,720 Speaker 5: an ancient Greek neoplatonic sage you're going to call them 226 00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:50,280 Speaker 5: something else, but the basic structure is the same that 227 00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:53,199 Speaker 5: there is this world that we live in, but behind 228 00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:56,640 Speaker 5: this world there is this subtler world. So again I 229 00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:59,360 Speaker 5: get a lot out of people like Keel and Valet 230 00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:02,800 Speaker 5: because it feels like they're trying to update what the 231 00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:06,080 Speaker 5: ancients we're talking about all along, not only and I 232 00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:08,600 Speaker 5: like that they update. Like Keel, for instance, you know 233 00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:12,720 Speaker 5: he talks about there being this sort of extended electromagnetic 234 00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:16,440 Speaker 5: spectrum perhaps like yes, we're we're aware of, you know, 235 00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:20,480 Speaker 5: this observable realm of phenomena that we can grock with 236 00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:23,520 Speaker 5: our senses, and now we have instrumentation that allows us 237 00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:28,880 Speaker 5: to use radio waves see radiation xyz. But there are 238 00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:32,880 Speaker 5: probably subtler realms, even beyond what we can currently measure 239 00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:36,559 Speaker 5: with our technology. And in those subtler realms there seem 240 00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:40,679 Speaker 5: to be intelligences, intelligences that can materialize, that can take 241 00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:43,439 Speaker 5: on a variety of forms, And to me, that harmonizes 242 00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:46,120 Speaker 5: so well with all the ancient stuff that it's hard 243 00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:49,839 Speaker 5: not to give those kind of hypotheses more credence than 244 00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:52,080 Speaker 5: what you were describing. You know, aliens that get in 245 00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:54,120 Speaker 5: a ship and then they like doot to do to do 246 00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:56,760 Speaker 5: for a really long time from another from another star 247 00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:59,360 Speaker 5: system until they get here. And admittedly they might be 248 00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:02,160 Speaker 5: extra terrest. There really might be beings that live on 249 00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:04,280 Speaker 5: other planets. I'm not trying to straw man that or 250 00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:05,040 Speaker 5: eliminate that. 251 00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:08,559 Speaker 4: These things couldn't coexist. They both could be true. 252 00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,360 Speaker 5: Yes, yes, And that's another thing I'm sensitive to, is 253 00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:13,640 Speaker 5: like drawing two need of a circle around any of 254 00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:15,640 Speaker 5: it and trying to boil it all down to one thing. 255 00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:20,400 Speaker 5: It's probably just another you know, artifact of human bias 256 00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:20,960 Speaker 5: or trying to. 257 00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:22,880 Speaker 4: Get I think it's human nature that we want to 258 00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:24,840 Speaker 4: put in a box. Where does this go? All goes 259 00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:28,000 Speaker 4: over here? It's this wherever that is. But I think 260 00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:31,200 Speaker 4: the more I delve into this nonsense, I feel like 261 00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:35,720 Speaker 4: there's way more different realities happening simultaneous to the one 262 00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:39,760 Speaker 4: we're currently in. You know, the beings that people encounter 263 00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:44,280 Speaker 4: in the DMT world are often reported as reptilian, insectoid, 264 00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:48,880 Speaker 4: even mantislike, and the accounts state that these beings say 265 00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:52,080 Speaker 4: to them, this is not what we look like. We're 266 00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:54,880 Speaker 4: appearing this way. So you can grasp our presence, and 267 00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:57,800 Speaker 4: I think, what an odd thing that they would be 268 00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:01,120 Speaker 4: choosing to appear in a life form, and it happens 269 00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:03,480 Speaker 4: to be just like what people report when they claim 270 00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:06,280 Speaker 4: to have an et experience as similar bans. What do 271 00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:07,240 Speaker 4: you think about that. 272 00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:11,600 Speaker 5: The morphology or form that they choose to take is 273 00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:15,720 Speaker 5: definitely a mysterious point now a human. 274 00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:17,720 Speaker 4: Or an animal that we would grasp immediately. 275 00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:20,640 Speaker 5: Yeah right, I'm just spitball. Well, first, let me say 276 00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:23,880 Speaker 5: I've talked to you mentioned Andrew Gallimore, you know, neuropharmacologists, 277 00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:27,920 Speaker 5: this guy who's become one of the biggest proselytizers of 278 00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:32,440 Speaker 5: d MT specifically, you know, wrote a number of books 279 00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:35,080 Speaker 5: like his new book Death by Astonishment, and you know, 280 00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:39,280 Speaker 5: alien information theory, reality switch technologies. He's a proponent of 281 00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:43,600 Speaker 5: this idea that you're talking about that whatever weighs this intelligence, 282 00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:47,680 Speaker 5: that this hyper intelligence, this higher dimensional whatever you want 283 00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:51,160 Speaker 5: to call it hyper intelligence, however it's portraying itself to 284 00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:55,080 Speaker 5: the human mind's eye, is not what it really is, 285 00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:57,560 Speaker 5: but it is taking on these forms, like you said, 286 00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:02,720 Speaker 5: mantus forum, reptilian form, whatever. And my gut, my intuition 287 00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:06,280 Speaker 5: is that it probably has something to do with not 288 00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:09,400 Speaker 5: just the intelligence but the mind of the person. Maybe 289 00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:13,520 Speaker 5: it's not even specifically like a top down decision on 290 00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:16,840 Speaker 5: the point of whatever it is. It's something about the 291 00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:20,320 Speaker 5: nature of that thing coupled with the individual's mind who's 292 00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:23,840 Speaker 5: perceiving it. Because I would guess ron like, if you 293 00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:26,880 Speaker 5: had an experience of a manted being and I also 294 00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:29,520 Speaker 5: had the experience of a manted being, there'd probably still 295 00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:31,720 Speaker 5: be weird differences in how I perceive it. 296 00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:34,920 Speaker 4: And you'll pictured a chair right now, that'd be very different. 297 00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:37,480 Speaker 5: Yes, yes, And I talked to do you know, Jeffrey Kreipel, 298 00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:41,400 Speaker 5: of course, yeah, brilliant guy, righty. We sort of got 299 00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:44,240 Speaker 5: hung up on this point in our conversation in a 300 00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:47,480 Speaker 5: way that was really just brain melting to me, which 301 00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:50,480 Speaker 5: is this point of things are occurring in an altered state, 302 00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:52,880 Speaker 5: you know, like I'm having this, for lack of a 303 00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:55,880 Speaker 5: better term, mind's eye experience, let's say, in an altered state. 304 00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:59,280 Speaker 5: But I am not consciously choosing, as we're talking about, 305 00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:01,520 Speaker 5: like what I'm seeing at all, but yet it is 306 00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:05,800 Speaker 5: appearing exclusively to me in my experience, and there does 307 00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:09,720 Speaker 5: seem to be this weird chooser of an image somewhere, 308 00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:11,520 Speaker 5: and I don't know if that chooser of the image 309 00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:13,880 Speaker 5: is in my mind, if it's external to my mind, 310 00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:16,240 Speaker 5: if it's a collision of my mind and the other thing, 311 00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:19,760 Speaker 5: and it's just making the most obvious outcome in the 312 00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:21,840 Speaker 5: form of a lizard being. I don't know, but it's 313 00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:24,160 Speaker 5: an interesting question. 314 00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:25,640 Speaker 4: It is. And Michael, I'll tell you the first time 315 00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:27,480 Speaker 4: I heard it, you know what I thought. I thought. 316 00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:30,439 Speaker 4: You know, obviously all of this is wild speculation, but 317 00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:33,800 Speaker 4: maybe these beings are so advanced and so outside of 318 00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:38,520 Speaker 4: our concept of reality that to them, since they're let's 319 00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:40,960 Speaker 4: say they are energy beings or light beings or something 320 00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:45,560 Speaker 4: beyond you know, maybe they feel like they're manifesting in 321 00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:49,400 Speaker 4: a solid body that's part of our universe, because those 322 00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:52,080 Speaker 4: beings do exist on other planets in our universe, and 323 00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:54,240 Speaker 4: to them, well, we would know what that is because 324 00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:57,400 Speaker 4: we're part of this universe. You know, they're so beyond 325 00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:00,000 Speaker 4: us that they see it. They're not going to come 326 00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:03,400 Speaker 4: was humans or animals. They come as this other being 327 00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:06,199 Speaker 4: because they think that's all part of our universe. I 328 00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:08,600 Speaker 4: know that's out there, but it's just an idea, you know. 329 00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:10,640 Speaker 4: I want to ask you this didn't Carl Jung say 330 00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:13,720 Speaker 4: that all of these different archetypes are kind of baked 331 00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:16,879 Speaker 4: into our conscious mind. But these beings certainly don't seem 332 00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:19,120 Speaker 4: to be or am I missing that they are? 333 00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:23,080 Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, the question of archetypes is a very 334 00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:26,480 Speaker 5: compelling and interesting one, and I think it's it kind 335 00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:29,320 Speaker 5: of depends on what your a priori your you know, 336 00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:32,800 Speaker 5: your prior assumptions are about what an archetype is. Like 337 00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:36,359 Speaker 5: a lot of people, I think, incorrectly think that Yung 338 00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:38,560 Speaker 5: was saying this is all in your head, This is 339 00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:42,600 Speaker 5: all just an artifact of human psychology. These archetypes, these 340 00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:46,320 Speaker 5: archetypes don't really exist in and of themselves. But when 341 00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:49,320 Speaker 5: you read his more kind of esoteric stuff, like that 342 00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:52,040 Speaker 5: big read book that's behind me, that's like Jung's big 343 00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:55,040 Speaker 5: visionary book that he kept secret his whole life. He 344 00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:58,680 Speaker 5: was clearly very well read in all of this ancient 345 00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:03,399 Speaker 5: esoteric stuff, chemical stuff, ancient gnostic stuff, ancient platonic stuff. 346 00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:07,320 Speaker 5: So he was keenly aware that archetypes were not just 347 00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:10,640 Speaker 5: confined to the human mind, but to what he called 348 00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:13,800 Speaker 5: the collective unconscious, like the collective mind of all of 349 00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:17,200 Speaker 5: humanity and maybe even beyond humanity, right, and I think 350 00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:21,720 Speaker 5: maybe you know when these intelligences enter from Like let's 351 00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:24,040 Speaker 5: just say that there is this collective unconscious of all 352 00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:27,600 Speaker 5: of humanity, if they have their own consciousness, that can 353 00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:32,400 Speaker 5: even you know, navigate through our collective unconscious. Let's just visualize, 354 00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:36,160 Speaker 5: like there's two spaces. There's like a giant bubble that's 355 00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:39,280 Speaker 5: the human collective unconscious, and then there's an external thing 356 00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:42,560 Speaker 5: coming into the human collective unconscious. Maybe it has to 357 00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:46,840 Speaker 5: choose an image from our own a collective unconscious and subconscious. 358 00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:49,320 Speaker 5: Maybe it has to take some of what it really 359 00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:52,160 Speaker 5: is and combine it with what we know. I mean, 360 00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:54,719 Speaker 5: it's just so hard to know, but yeah, I mean 361 00:19:55,240 --> 00:20:01,280 Speaker 5: these are really archetypal, right, like reptilians, serpents, manted. Have 362 00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:04,919 Speaker 5: you ever seen those ancient like the ancient Mesopotamian I 363 00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:07,439 Speaker 5: think it is an onnaki thing of like the side 364 00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:11,119 Speaker 5: the side view of that reptilian looking beings that's holding 365 00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:14,120 Speaker 5: one of those weird bags, yeah, right, with his hand 366 00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:15,159 Speaker 5: out stretched. 367 00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:17,800 Speaker 4: Which is all over the world that they hold these bags. Yeah, bizarre. 368 00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:20,879 Speaker 5: So clearly these are things that have been in the 369 00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:24,200 Speaker 5: consciousness of humanity. Like as far back as our relics 370 00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:27,000 Speaker 5: goes years at least, John, So, I mean then that 371 00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:29,800 Speaker 5: respawns all kinds of new questions, right, Like, so were 372 00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:32,520 Speaker 5: these things that they were really encountering or these really 373 00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:35,400 Speaker 5: physical beings that came down on a ship? I don't know, man, 374 00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:37,920 Speaker 5: I mean all these all these questions end in and 375 00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:40,440 Speaker 5: I don't know, but they're supremely interesting and fun to 376 00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:40,960 Speaker 5: talk about. 377 00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:44,840 Speaker 4: Like kicking around exactly. You just you just summed it up. Right. 378 00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:46,840 Speaker 4: When we come back, we're going to continue this conversation 379 00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:49,520 Speaker 4: with Michael and ask him his thoughts on reality not 380 00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:53,160 Speaker 4: being something we perceive, but perhaps something we participate in 381 00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:56,440 Speaker 4: shaped by consciousness itself. You're listening to Beyond Contact on 382 00:20:56,480 --> 00:21:21,320 Speaker 4: the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast AM Paranormal podcast network. 383 00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:26,280 Speaker 4: We're back on Beyond Contact and we're getting some serious 384 00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:29,280 Speaker 4: third eye drops today from Michael Phillip. It feels like 385 00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:31,879 Speaker 4: a conversation we should be having at midnight, Michael, and 386 00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:34,880 Speaker 4: not so early here in the morning. So it's kind 387 00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:38,200 Speaker 4: of crazy. What about that idea, Michael, that reality may 388 00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:41,760 Speaker 4: not be something we simply perceive, but something we actually 389 00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:45,600 Speaker 4: actively participate in shaped by our consciousness itself. 390 00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:48,879 Speaker 5: Yeah, there's a lot of ways we could go with 391 00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:50,760 Speaker 5: this too, you know, from the sort of you know, 392 00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:58,159 Speaker 5: modern new thought manifestation route simulation theory. But one thing 393 00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:01,719 Speaker 5: er I really gravitate toward, and you know, stay with 394 00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:04,120 Speaker 5: me here because this will eventually tie back into all 395 00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:07,200 Speaker 5: the phenomena and UFO stuff, though it may not sound 396 00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:11,199 Speaker 5: like it is. There's this cognitive scientist named doctor Donald 397 00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:15,640 Speaker 5: Hoffman yep, who is just absolutely brilliant. Like I mean, 398 00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:19,560 Speaker 5: this guy is just like you know, top level classically 399 00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:26,119 Speaker 5: trained intellect in math and hardcore cognitive science, you know, 400 00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:30,119 Speaker 5: like perception, and like this guy's written like technical textbooks 401 00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:33,960 Speaker 5: on perception. And what he believes is that this world 402 00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:37,080 Speaker 5: that we perceive that you were just mentioning, is just 403 00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:42,560 Speaker 5: an evolutionarily convenient illusion. It's like a computer desktop that 404 00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:47,280 Speaker 5: is not there to accurately portray reality. It's there to 405 00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:50,160 Speaker 5: let us know what will kill us, what will give 406 00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:55,439 Speaker 5: us a quote unquote evolutionary fitness payoff, you know, sex, 407 00:22:55,560 --> 00:23:01,960 Speaker 5: food status, whatever. But what's behind that usion is consciousness 408 00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:06,720 Speaker 5: and we are truly at our core what he calls 409 00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:10,520 Speaker 5: a conscious agent. So again to nutshell it we perceive 410 00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:15,600 Speaker 5: this computer desktop simulation world. But that's not what reality is. 411 00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:19,240 Speaker 5: What reality really is is what he calls this network 412 00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:23,200 Speaker 5: of conscious agents. And you know, if you talk to Don, 413 00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:26,160 Speaker 5: you can tell he has a lot of philosophical thoughts, 414 00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:28,800 Speaker 5: but he likes not to speculate too much about what 415 00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:32,160 Speaker 5: this realm of conscious agents is. But to me as 416 00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:34,800 Speaker 5: someone who is into all of this ancient stuff again 417 00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:38,800 Speaker 5: like I'm I'm particularly really into like neoplatonism and Platonism, 418 00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:41,600 Speaker 5: and even just explaining what I mean by that is 419 00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:43,439 Speaker 5: sort of like a rabbit hole that we might not 420 00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:47,119 Speaker 5: have time for. But they agree with what Don is saying. 421 00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:53,840 Speaker 5: But for them, these worlds of consciousness are populated by 422 00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:57,359 Speaker 5: a whole panoply of different kinds of beings, different ranks 423 00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:01,359 Speaker 5: of beings that I suspect have a lot to do 424 00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:05,560 Speaker 5: with what we now perceive as NHI or or alien intelligence. 425 00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:08,919 Speaker 5: And for them, the way that you got to the 426 00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:12,680 Speaker 5: truer reality was through the portal of your own consciousness, 427 00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:18,840 Speaker 5: was through through the portal of contemplation, ritual, uh technica 428 00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:21,800 Speaker 5: that's now lost to us, right, like things that you 429 00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:24,000 Speaker 5: if you pick up one of these old books and 430 00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:26,399 Speaker 5: you and you bash your brain against it and like 431 00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:28,960 Speaker 5: really try to read it. You're going to see that 432 00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:32,960 Speaker 5: there's some system that they're talking about. There's some initiations 433 00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:36,840 Speaker 5: they were talking about, some mystery schools or mystery initiations 434 00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:40,919 Speaker 5: they were talking about that they take extremely seriously. But 435 00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:44,399 Speaker 5: nowhere is it ever explicit. Nowhere does it say do this, 436 00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:46,399 Speaker 5: and then do this and then do this. Because that 437 00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:50,879 Speaker 5: was all like initiatory knowledge that only if if you know, 438 00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:54,800 Speaker 5: I would privately reveal to you after you know some 439 00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:58,040 Speaker 5: oath and you know, other things and study and all 440 00:24:58,040 --> 00:24:58,760 Speaker 5: this other stuff. 441 00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:02,000 Speaker 4: Then they are that way too, because they have this knowledge, 442 00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:05,240 Speaker 4: they would't want to share that with everybody, right, right, 443 00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:09,200 Speaker 4: kind of like the technology of UFOs today. Yeah, one 444 00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:10,400 Speaker 4: one could correlate that. 445 00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:13,080 Speaker 5: And you know, you take one look at social media, right, 446 00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:15,080 Speaker 5: and it's sort of clear why you would keep these 447 00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:19,280 Speaker 5: things for a small group of initiates, right, because if 448 00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:21,960 Speaker 5: if you let this knowledge out, everybody can just run 449 00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:24,240 Speaker 5: wild with it and say whatever they want about it, 450 00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:26,679 Speaker 5: and then that has this effect where it's just like 451 00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:31,320 Speaker 5: degrades it and also just muddies the waters. You know, 452 00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:33,760 Speaker 5: if everybody's talking about it and saying this is what 453 00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:36,159 Speaker 5: it is. No, this is what it is. Multiply that 454 00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:38,119 Speaker 5: times a million, and you've got social media. You got 455 00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:41,320 Speaker 5: you got you got Twitter ufo, right, which I love. Well, 456 00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:43,719 Speaker 5: let's be honest. It's it's a. It's a it's a 457 00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:46,840 Speaker 5: it's a it's a turbulent path to truth at best. 458 00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:52,800 Speaker 4: What a nice, soft, safe way to say that. Well done. Yeah, 459 00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:55,080 Speaker 4: it's tough. Hey, you know, much of this feels so 460 00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:58,040 Speaker 4: beyond our level of understanding at this point. You know, 461 00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:01,600 Speaker 4: you and Chris Ramsey were discussing this notion of perhaps 462 00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:06,159 Speaker 4: these UFOs and or even the beings that fly these UFOs, 463 00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:11,040 Speaker 4: may actually be this autonomous, you know, reactive machines that 464 00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:14,960 Speaker 4: are perhaps proliferated throughout the universe and are just reacting 465 00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:18,399 Speaker 4: to what we do, that the real intelligence behind these 466 00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:22,760 Speaker 4: aren't even necessarily here. That this is you know, it's 467 00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:26,240 Speaker 4: a very interesting line of thinking, and it makes sense 468 00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:29,639 Speaker 4: on some level. You can imagine how an intelligence million 469 00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:33,119 Speaker 4: years ahead of us could look at this all so 470 00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:36,320 Speaker 4: completely differently than we do and just send out these 471 00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:41,000 Speaker 4: ais to explore and monitor other worlds and be programmed 472 00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:44,160 Speaker 4: to do certain things. You know, what are your thoughts 473 00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:44,679 Speaker 4: on all. 474 00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:49,159 Speaker 5: That Yeah, it's a really interesting hypothesis that would explain 475 00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:51,840 Speaker 5: a lot. This notion that there is this and this 476 00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:54,840 Speaker 5: all kind of comes off the back of this now 477 00:26:54,880 --> 00:27:01,520 Speaker 5: famous Reddit whistleblower thread, claimed whistleblower thread, you know, where 478 00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:04,119 Speaker 5: this guy was claiming he worked on the inside of 479 00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:09,440 Speaker 5: this project. He's terminally ill, so screw it, I'm gonna 480 00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:12,320 Speaker 5: I'm gonna put all the information out. And this is 481 00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:14,439 Speaker 5: what he says. And Chris has covered this on his channel. 482 00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:17,399 Speaker 5: He's read through this whole transcript for anyone who's interested 483 00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:20,560 Speaker 5: in this. Super worth a watch. But that's what he 484 00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:24,120 Speaker 5: says is that hidden under the ocean, there are these 485 00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:27,280 Speaker 5: I forget the exact terminology he uses, but there are 486 00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:34,560 Speaker 5: these giants. Yeah yeah, these yeah, these giant mobile construction units. 487 00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:37,760 Speaker 5: That's it, These mobile construction units that are moving around 488 00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:41,840 Speaker 5: at like hyper speed underneath the ocean. They're massive, and 489 00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:46,040 Speaker 5: they essentially print UFOs on demand for whatever the need is. 490 00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:49,040 Speaker 5: And that's why we see the variety of shapes, because 491 00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:51,400 Speaker 5: one thing is better for one mission and other things 492 00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:55,000 Speaker 5: better for another mission. But then going even further, not 493 00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:57,680 Speaker 5: only are those made on demand, it seems like the 494 00:27:57,680 --> 00:28:00,679 Speaker 5: beings are made on demand as well, so that they 495 00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:04,960 Speaker 5: are these almost like biological drones and probably also psychical 496 00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:08,320 Speaker 5: drones based on what we know or what all the 497 00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:11,080 Speaker 5: lower seems to suggest that whatever these things are, and 498 00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:15,320 Speaker 5: whatever these craft are, they're being piloted psionically or psychically 499 00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:20,200 Speaker 5: by these things, because there's, again depending on which Laurie 500 00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:22,520 Speaker 5: you're reading, there seems to be like no controls inside 501 00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:25,320 Speaker 5: of these things. It's just a seat and that's it, 502 00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:28,439 Speaker 5: and it's something that the pilot psychically interacts with. 503 00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:34,360 Speaker 4: Michael. It also parallels the et encounters and abduction experiences 504 00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:38,760 Speaker 4: where people say oftentimes that these ets the grays do 505 00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:42,440 Speaker 4: not appear to be biological necessarily, that they seem robotic 506 00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:43,760 Speaker 4: oftentimes that report. 507 00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:48,440 Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, so it's extremely compelling stuff. And you know, 508 00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:52,400 Speaker 5: Chris probably brought this up too. But Matthew Brown, the 509 00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:57,520 Speaker 5: recent whistleblower who spoke with Knapp and Corbell on weaponized. 510 00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:00,200 Speaker 4: Constellation, right, yes, yeah. 511 00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:05,280 Speaker 5: Immaculate constellation leaker, he used a built he said, built 512 00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:07,640 Speaker 5: to speck or built to purpose or made to purpose 513 00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:11,120 Speaker 5: or something in a way that was just so eerie. 514 00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:14,800 Speaker 5: If you've read that Reddit testimony from the apparent whistleblower 515 00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:17,560 Speaker 5: it seemed like he was saying almost the exact same thing, 516 00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:22,640 Speaker 5: that there are these mysterious points of origin mobile construction 517 00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:25,400 Speaker 5: units where these things are made to purpose. And then 518 00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:28,120 Speaker 5: again he starts getting into some of the weird nebulous 519 00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:31,320 Speaker 5: consciousness stuff, or at least suggesting it in a way 520 00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:34,880 Speaker 5: that's very tantalizing but ultimately very frustration frustrating, you know, 521 00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:37,600 Speaker 5: like it's like you're hitting at all of these huge 522 00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:40,760 Speaker 5: things but not spelling anything out, and that puts us 523 00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:42,840 Speaker 5: back on the corkboard with the yarn right where we're 524 00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:46,040 Speaker 5: trying to be like, well, this is agent esoteric thing, 525 00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:48,080 Speaker 5: sounds like what he's saying, But then we're just left 526 00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:49,120 Speaker 5: to spin our wheels. 527 00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:52,040 Speaker 4: Isn't that how it is in ninety five percent of 528 00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:55,320 Speaker 4: all these ninety nine point nine percent of these cases. Listen, 529 00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:56,600 Speaker 4: we got to take a break here of Michael. When 530 00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:59,120 Speaker 4: we come back, we're going to continue this conversation and 531 00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:01,840 Speaker 4: talk about some of the various schools of thought that 532 00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:05,800 Speaker 4: are out there on where these intelligences may exist. You're 533 00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:08,160 Speaker 4: listening to Beyond Contact on the iHeartRadio and Coast to 534 00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:35,040 Speaker 4: Coast AM Paranormal podcast network. We're back on beyond Contact. 535 00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:37,880 Speaker 4: We're talking to Michael Phillip. Michael, listen. Listening to your 536 00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:41,000 Speaker 4: show and others, you start to hear all these different 537 00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:44,600 Speaker 4: schools of thought trying to explain what's happening, Going back 538 00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:47,720 Speaker 4: even to the ancient teachings that you study through today, 539 00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:51,040 Speaker 4: there's like all these different ideas. There's two earths and 540 00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:55,320 Speaker 4: ones more peaceful, and there's these different timelines, and there's 541 00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:59,160 Speaker 4: you know, beings traveling interdimensionally and then beings traveling outside 542 00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:03,080 Speaker 4: dimension that are above those beings. And there's entities that 543 00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:05,720 Speaker 4: are living adjacent to us, but they're on a different 544 00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:10,600 Speaker 4: vibrational level, beings living inside of Earth or the afterlife energy, 545 00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:12,760 Speaker 4: beings like beings. It goes on and on, but you 546 00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:16,479 Speaker 4: start thinking that maybe it's possible the universe is just 547 00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:21,520 Speaker 4: teaming with these various entities in these different realms, and 548 00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:23,720 Speaker 4: it's like you know, a giant MasterCard, like a little 549 00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:25,600 Speaker 4: tiny Venn diagram, and they just kind of are up 550 00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:28,080 Speaker 4: against each other and you kind of peek over, you know, 551 00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:31,160 Speaker 4: And on the other hand, you could start thinking, can 552 00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:34,440 Speaker 4: these all be right? It just doesn't seem possible. How 553 00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:36,600 Speaker 4: do you navigate so many different traditions. 554 00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:40,280 Speaker 5: Yeah, man, it's PRECARYO. It's at best. What I ultimately 555 00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:45,200 Speaker 5: settle on is I think I'm always in knowledge acquisition mode. 556 00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:48,880 Speaker 5: Admittedly I'm not doing it in a systematic way. I'm 557 00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:52,479 Speaker 5: following whatever seems interesting to me, you know, whatever people 558 00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:55,680 Speaker 5: seem compelling and valid to me. I was actually just 559 00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:59,400 Speaker 5: revisiting today the long version of the Jake Barber interview. 560 00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:03,360 Speaker 5: Total side note, But have you heard about this fictionalized 561 00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:08,000 Speaker 5: account that people have widely started surmising is written by 562 00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:13,160 Speaker 5: Jake Barber called Sentinels of the Ether? Man. This is 563 00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:14,520 Speaker 5: a whole thing that I don't even know if I 564 00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:16,760 Speaker 5: should bring up at this point in the conversation. But anyway, 565 00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:18,920 Speaker 5: if you look up Sentinels of the Ether, you'll find 566 00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:21,280 Speaker 5: a bunch of people saying it seems to be written 567 00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:24,360 Speaker 5: by Jake Barber. Uap Gerb just said in another interview 568 00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:27,200 Speaker 5: that it was written by Jake Barber. That guy seems 569 00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:30,800 Speaker 5: really well informed, well researched. Then you read Sentinels of 570 00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:34,480 Speaker 5: the Ether, and then you go back and watch Barber's interview, 571 00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:36,600 Speaker 5: let me tell you, light bulbs are going to start 572 00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:39,160 Speaker 5: going off. But so that's an example of what I 573 00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:42,960 Speaker 5: mean when I'm saying I'm always in information acquisition mode. 574 00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:44,800 Speaker 5: And that's again one of the points on why I 575 00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:47,480 Speaker 5: brought up Barber, because what to me is so interesting 576 00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:52,760 Speaker 5: about him is he keeps leaning on the association between 577 00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:57,960 Speaker 5: the phenomena and consciousness and saying, that's the real way 578 00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:02,080 Speaker 5: that you establish contact again is through consciousness. That's what 579 00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:04,440 Speaker 5: you hear from all these ancient sources. And now you're 580 00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:07,640 Speaker 5: hearing somebody who came directly out of the military industrial 581 00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:11,120 Speaker 5: complex and apparently this legacy program and is telling you 582 00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:14,520 Speaker 5: the exact same thing. And what I love about that is, 583 00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:18,320 Speaker 5: to an extent, it allows you to extricate yourself from 584 00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:21,560 Speaker 5: the disclosure narrative where somebody else needs to give you disclosure, 585 00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:24,080 Speaker 5: somebody else needs to tell you what's real. And he's 586 00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:26,200 Speaker 5: kind of telling you I was going to say with 587 00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:28,280 Speaker 5: a wink in a nudge, but it's overt he's telling 588 00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:32,280 Speaker 5: you overtly, you do this through consciousness. So start experimenting 589 00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:35,000 Speaker 5: with your own consciousness. You don't need the external disclosure, 590 00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:38,760 Speaker 5: you don't need congress, you don't need a Lockheed Martin 591 00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:41,440 Speaker 5: or whoever to like. Take the tarp off the craft 592 00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:45,360 Speaker 5: apparently you can make contact yourself. So I think that's 593 00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:49,240 Speaker 5: a really important aspect of all of this that removes 594 00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:51,200 Speaker 5: a lot of the frustration and where you can be 595 00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:55,080 Speaker 5: frustrated with your own consciousness and your own blockages and 596 00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:59,880 Speaker 5: attempts to connect with whatever this is. And I like that, 597 00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:02,040 Speaker 5: you know, That's part of how I navigated is when 598 00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:04,440 Speaker 5: I do become frustrated with all of these stories, all 599 00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:08,040 Speaker 5: these whistleblowers, I remind myself, am I really doing the work? 600 00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:11,840 Speaker 5: Am I really how's my meditation practice? When is my 601 00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:16,520 Speaker 5: next you know, visionary trip planned? And I think that's important. 602 00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:18,560 Speaker 5: I think there's got to be a way that, at 603 00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:21,000 Speaker 5: least for me as a seeker, there's a certain point 604 00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:24,440 Speaker 5: where I need to disconnect from all the stories and 605 00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:28,360 Speaker 5: turn it back in on myself and ask myself, what 606 00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:29,960 Speaker 5: do I really want to get out of this to 607 00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:33,000 Speaker 5: begin with? Like what is it just entertainment? Is is 608 00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:35,440 Speaker 5: it a way for me to sense make or is 609 00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:38,320 Speaker 5: it a way for me to really learn something about 610 00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:43,000 Speaker 5: my own consciousness and where it sits within reality? And 611 00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:44,759 Speaker 5: to me, if it's not the latter, if it's not 612 00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:47,239 Speaker 5: that last thing I just said, it's sort of like 613 00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:50,200 Speaker 5: maybe who cares then if it's not going to change 614 00:34:50,200 --> 00:34:53,560 Speaker 5: my own onto logical position, my own understanding of reality, 615 00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:54,319 Speaker 5: what is this? 616 00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:58,080 Speaker 4: No? I agree, man? You know, Jeffrey Hinton just recently 617 00:34:58,160 --> 00:35:01,040 Speaker 4: said a couple of days ago that the future AI 618 00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:04,400 Speaker 4: systems might be able to control humans just as easily 619 00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:07,800 Speaker 4: as an adult can control a three year old with candy. Well, 620 00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:10,719 Speaker 4: you can imagine how any of these intelligences that are 621 00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:14,799 Speaker 4: far superior than ours they could easily manipulate us. It 622 00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:17,600 Speaker 4: feels like we have this hubris to think that we 623 00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:21,239 Speaker 4: understand what is happening, at least perhaps at the government level. 624 00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:23,879 Speaker 4: It seems like they would think that when I doubt 625 00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:27,040 Speaker 4: they have a fraction of what the whole picture really is. 626 00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:28,920 Speaker 4: I feel like all of us are just in the 627 00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:33,919 Speaker 4: infancy of understanding our capabilities of how consciousness works, even 628 00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:36,480 Speaker 4: though these are old traditions. I think we are now, 629 00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:40,000 Speaker 4: with our technology, at the very infancy of this, and 630 00:35:40,080 --> 00:35:43,239 Speaker 4: that in one hundred years or five hundred years, we 631 00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:46,759 Speaker 4: are going to have a vastly different understanding and control 632 00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:51,279 Speaker 4: over our consciousness, just like these other entities probably already do. 633 00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:54,840 Speaker 5: Yeah, I think that's one of the most terrifying but 634 00:35:55,160 --> 00:36:00,600 Speaker 5: very real possibilities that puts us in an incredible bind 635 00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:03,799 Speaker 5: as a species. And this again really evokes Valet a lot, 636 00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:06,000 Speaker 5: because he has this idea of the of this control 637 00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:10,480 Speaker 5: system right that's interacting with human consciousness and it's portraying 638 00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:13,759 Speaker 5: itself in all different kinds of ways, and at the 639 00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:16,799 Speaker 5: end of the day, it's almost like, we better hope 640 00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:19,360 Speaker 5: that whatever that has our best interests in mind, because 641 00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:23,440 Speaker 5: if not, it gets very dystopian very quickly, Like if 642 00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:27,360 Speaker 5: you have some higher AI intelligence or intelligence of any kind, 643 00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:32,960 Speaker 5: that's just like gaslighting human consciousness, manipulating human consciousness, because 644 00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:35,560 Speaker 5: my god, we're pretty easy to manipulate. I think, you know, 645 00:36:35,680 --> 00:36:39,200 Speaker 5: like show me your your typical guy, and I could 646 00:36:39,239 --> 00:36:42,759 Speaker 5: probably guess, well, like throw a honey trap here, throw 647 00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:45,840 Speaker 5: a couple dollars over this way, and we get that 648 00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:47,720 Speaker 5: guy going on that trail real fast. 649 00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:51,000 Speaker 4: Look how easy is you can imagine somebody way beyond us. 650 00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:53,319 Speaker 4: It's just whing You bring up Vallet over and over 651 00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:56,400 Speaker 4: because you know, it's been this growing interesting idea that 652 00:36:56,480 --> 00:37:00,600 Speaker 4: alien encounters are tied to consciousness. Even people like John 653 00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:03,120 Speaker 4: Max seemed to believe this. Later on that the et 654 00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:07,080 Speaker 4: phenomenon was tied deeply to consciousness, and VLA used to 655 00:37:07,080 --> 00:37:09,360 Speaker 4: say that, you know, he thought, like a technology that 656 00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:13,759 Speaker 4: involves modifying consciousness. So these are hard science guys, you know. 657 00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:17,200 Speaker 5: Yeah, it's spooky too because I think about my own 658 00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:20,880 Speaker 5: experiences and your mind starts to run wild, where you know, 659 00:37:20,920 --> 00:37:23,319 Speaker 5: these things happened to you like once in your life, right, 660 00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:26,080 Speaker 5: like once in your life. You might go out of body, 661 00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:28,120 Speaker 5: which you know happened to me at Monroe Institute, or 662 00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:32,440 Speaker 5: you have some experience in an ayahuasca ceremony that's just 663 00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:36,000 Speaker 5: utterly mind blowing that you you know, I random, my 664 00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:38,839 Speaker 5: journal effort happened. I just kept writing down that was real, 665 00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:41,480 Speaker 5: that was real, that was real because I knew two 666 00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:43,440 Speaker 5: three weeks down the line, I'd be like, was that 667 00:37:43,520 --> 00:37:43,960 Speaker 5: really real? 668 00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:44,640 Speaker 4: You know? 669 00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:47,160 Speaker 5: But it was so hyper real in the moment. And 670 00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:49,719 Speaker 5: then to confront the idea that that could have been 671 00:37:49,719 --> 00:37:54,080 Speaker 5: a manipulation, or that could have been some trickster intelligence 672 00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:58,719 Speaker 5: or technology messing with your mind, such a terrifying possibility 673 00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:02,960 Speaker 5: because if it's something has the ability to engineer experiences 674 00:38:03,520 --> 00:38:09,680 Speaker 5: that seem like the most meaningful, reality altering experience as 675 00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:12,480 Speaker 5: a human being, can have again. We pretty much have 676 00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:14,319 Speaker 5: no hope but to hope that that thing has our 677 00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:15,280 Speaker 5: best interest in mind. 678 00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:17,440 Speaker 4: I hope that the other thing is true and that 679 00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:19,600 Speaker 4: it is real. Did I hear you have a Third 680 00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:22,680 Speaker 4: Eye Drops book club? I think this is such a 681 00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:26,200 Speaker 4: great idea. I love it. I used to always ask 682 00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:28,960 Speaker 4: every guest on my old shows, what should I read? 683 00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:30,840 Speaker 4: What should I read? You know, I kind of stopped 684 00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:32,880 Speaker 4: doing that, but I would love to ask you A 685 00:38:33,080 --> 00:38:34,880 Speaker 4: do you have that book club? And b give us 686 00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:37,360 Speaker 4: a couple of books that you feel are the best 687 00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:38,680 Speaker 4: that address the phenomenon. 688 00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:42,279 Speaker 5: I do have one. It's just for patrons, so you 689 00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:44,080 Speaker 5: got to be a Third Eye Drops patron to get 690 00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:46,080 Speaker 5: in on it. I've sort of hit pause on it 691 00:38:46,120 --> 00:38:48,640 Speaker 5: because I'm just doing so many other things. But yeah, 692 00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:52,160 Speaker 5: we've read a ton of stuff, from fiction to nonfiction, 693 00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:56,080 Speaker 5: stuff about the phenomena, not about the phenomena, books like A. 694 00:38:56,160 --> 00:38:58,759 Speaker 4: Vola's Phenomena by Jacobson. 695 00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:01,640 Speaker 5: Phenomena is actually one of my favorite books on the 696 00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:04,640 Speaker 5: topic of SI. It's amazingly well researched. If you've heard 697 00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:06,640 Speaker 5: about Project Stargate and you have sort of like a 698 00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:09,880 Speaker 5: foggy idea of what went down there. Annie Jacobson's Phenomena 699 00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:15,200 Speaker 5: is an insanely well researched overview of the US government 700 00:39:15,239 --> 00:39:19,439 Speaker 5: and intelligence agencies involvement in psychic phenomena and way even 701 00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:22,640 Speaker 5: beyond remote viewing, though including remote viewing. Thanks for bringing 702 00:39:22,680 --> 00:39:24,560 Speaker 5: that one up. That really was one of my favorites. 703 00:39:24,760 --> 00:39:28,760 Speaker 5: We've read books like Invisible College by Valet, Operation Trojan 704 00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:31,759 Speaker 5: Horse by Keel, and then stuff like Theorgy and the 705 00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:34,759 Speaker 5: Soul by Shaw, which is another that has to do 706 00:39:35,080 --> 00:39:38,960 Speaker 5: with these ancient mystical traditions where you'll pick it up 707 00:39:39,320 --> 00:39:42,239 Speaker 5: you'll just think to yourself, holy shit, there is this 708 00:39:42,680 --> 00:39:47,479 Speaker 5: entire library of information that is lost that is being 709 00:39:47,520 --> 00:39:50,319 Speaker 5: alluded to by all of these ancient stages, and it 710 00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:53,520 Speaker 5: has everything to do with whatever these intelligences are. So yeah, 711 00:39:53,719 --> 00:39:57,560 Speaker 5: there's so many men. If you really approach with this 712 00:39:57,680 --> 00:40:01,000 Speaker 5: collective interest in the phenomena in the back of your mind, 713 00:40:01,120 --> 00:40:03,960 Speaker 5: you're going to find so many breadcrumbs. I hope you 714 00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:06,200 Speaker 5: grow to enjoy the labyrinth, because it's either going to 715 00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:08,319 Speaker 5: drive you crazy or you got to start to just 716 00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:10,799 Speaker 5: love the process and love the rabbit hole. And I 717 00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:11,960 Speaker 5: think that's where I'm at. 718 00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:14,080 Speaker 4: That's where he's that guys.
