Dear Charles,

I love the idea that we're walking off the edge of known reality and our cultural expectations!

Also, I found your talk interesting throughout. And was brought to tears by your reminder that (in my words not yours) nothing done for love is ever lost. Even when we die, all the love and light we have shared with others still shines in them and through them. I deeply respect that you are on a journey of discovery, just like the rest of us, and appreciate your sharing your journey so vulnerably in this talk and your writing and events. Don't worry about being better. We're all seeking our new story together.

It could very well be! The first book I ever read on aliens, Whitley Strieber’s Communion, is quite adamant about their sense of humour.

I have had a few unexplainable encounters with them over the decades and the first, while reading the aforementioned book in the middle of the afternoon, was an uncomfortable (as in very slightly painful) « electric » voice laughing and traversing my body from head to toe.

It happened at the exact moment I was reading the part where the author compared their behaviour (the conga line in his bedroom) to circus like behaviour and I realized I had decorated, months before reading the book, my baby blue fake fur covered fridge with three circus treetop tins and a huge alien skateboard sticker.

This audience probably won't care much about this, but for those who'd like a look behind the curtain (all media and the information you receive from it along with the "celebrities" that construct it are a part of an elaborate Edward Bernays illusion/script) this is for you:

Carol Boucher is the mother of Elon’s (the guy predicted by Wernher Von Braun to bring us to Mars) child, also known as the artist ‘Grimes’. The most notable thing about Carol is that she submitted the following image to her Instagram on September 4th, 2019 - one month and change before the pandemic narrative began. It depicts a story told by emoji laden glyphs which remarkably spell out the very near future:

https://tritorch.com/grimes.png - September 4th, 2019 prediction: DNA Coronavirus + Injection Injection Injection = Aliens

Elon’s ex-girlfriend’s prophecy batting average is one thousand here. From DNA (transcription) to the coronavirus to the repeated injections to the alien narrative. How could she—or anyone—possibly know about all of this in advance?

It cannot have escaped anyone’s notice that with the fake pandemic of 2020-2021 now in the rear-view mirror - we have been - and are being - primed for the next big lie: a major faux alien invasion narrative. Breathless UFO UAP stories have been mass-injected by the pentagon into every major mainstream Operation Mockingbird news outlet. That in itself is alarming enough but the most concerning part about this anything-goes propaganda bombardment is that this alien marketing blitz has been foretold.

Many decades ago Operation Paperclip’s very own Wernher Von Braun warned his secretary, Dr. Carol Rosin, that this extra-terrestrial dialectic was coming in the future, and that when it arrived it would be an outright lie:

New World Order: What better way for the globalists to get the world to throw their sovereignty to the wind - in order to achieve that coveted one-world-government where they seize all earthly possessions - than conjuring up an exotic threat from outer space? This is far removed from a new idea—the 1986 animated novel ‘The Watchmen’ was a guidebook for how one might achieve such a planetary-class sleight of hand, and even President Reagan longed for such an event:

"Perhaps we need some outside, universal threat to make us recognize this common bond … I occasionally think how quickly our differences worldwide would vanish if we were facing an alien threat from outside this world." —President Ronald Reagan

Trippy. I don't think the alien invasion narrative will work though. Unlike pandemic fear porn, there are too many cultural myths about benignant ETs, not to mention channels and starseeds etc., for the fear to really take hold. There would be a LOT of skeptics and resisters, maybe even more than against Covid. We are not going to drink the Kool-Aid. That is not only a prediction. That is a declaration! Let us build a foundation of sanity together, so that we will be resistant to the invocation of the next hysteria.

Glad to find you issuing this declaration! Equally happy about your clear appreciation of the personal, social, and spiritual significance of the UFO/NHI phenomenon, staticky glitches notwithstanding. You might want to take a gander at a couple minor building blocks I have recently laid up in our foundation of sanity, in Bryce Zabel's "Strange Visitors" forum on Medium. Here are the links:

I think the resistance might be not only expected but maybe also one of the desired outcomes? As an excuse to tighten the screw of public liberties…yet again?

Expand full comment

Yes, they post everything in advance per their "code of ethics" as the plans must be announced. The nonrefusal of the herd denotes acceptance of their scheme. There's a Bible passage about Satan having to knock on the door that it may derive from.

As a sidebar, it looks to me that every Elon Musk project is a scam; he was not a founder of paypal or Tesla, that is certain. The timelines on his projects all go way beyond the deadlines and then are eventually dropped without mention. The entire electric vehicle operation is infeasible, and EVs are far worse for the environment than ICEs in about every way, including extensive use of slave labor in mining of required metals. There's also no possible way humans are going to colonize a planet with no atmosphere or water and temps outside our survivable range. I doubt there have even been any rovers sent there; the CGIs they create for marketing are as goofy as the super hero posters of their alleged space missions.

Despite all the failures and fabrications of these fantastic projects, the GovCorp media never says boo. The entire operating system of this world is far different than advertised.

Fyi, it's Claire Boucher not Carol. I knew her back when she was a strange, awkward student at McGill in Montréal.

Just you mentioning his name brings so many memories of our interactions. I was his masseuse also, and got to play him a whole different kind of music at his house. I did the hair of his kids and Annie too, at their house. I believe he died because his mission was complete.

I was watching the YouTube stream live and you did indeed glitch. You just froze. I waited for a time, then eventually refreshed only to see the last bit before the pause replayed and then cut. And THEN, eventually a disjoint to you mentioning swamp gas and weather balloons. (Wild what can happen in 55 seconds)

Fabulously fascinating about the contents of the erasure (I was meaning to go and rewatch so this is perfectly timed) and also that you noticed the glitch yourself.

PS I LOVE your son's (?) Giant painting. What a treat.

I agree, the painting is gorgeous.

I experienced no interruption in real time while I was present live on Zoom for the entirety. I’m intrigued though because I felt like something was vaguely “off” during the call, though I couldn’t name it. Since I’ve been experiencing this feeling lately myself, I thought it was me. My experiences of this began in October when I zoned out during a live broadcast while I was presenting. I kept speaking, but had no immediate recollection of continuing to speak. Later, I could recall 5 different yet similar versions but didn’t know which was real until I watched the replay. Since then the instances have been milder in that, like this event with Charles, something just feels “off.” I can attest the material was all there during the live call with no interruptions. We are going through some major changes we may not be able to explain just yet.

Expand full comment

I agree with us collectively going through some resonating changes. I'll try to post an article "Healing Systems' just out in Stanford's Social Innovation Review. It gives a viable explaination.

Absolutely fascinating. This happened to me once when I felt led to pray out loud in a worship group. I had no recollection of what I said, but remember walking across a lake on thin ice that was cracking under my feet. Only afterward I realized since the ice was not holding me I must I have been walking on water. ~~ I wonder if this could mean we were “channeling” another consciousness? ~~ Strange things do happen when we let go into this state of consciousness.

The UFO thing is indeed a weird thing but not because it's real, but because it's a projection of humanity.

https://library.lol/main/F0FFF93E5BDCCCD182B46BCC074E05BB

"Daimonic Reality by Patrick Harpur examines UFOs and a wide variety of “paranormal” phenomena from a rather unique angle. Although Harpur never fully defines the daimonic—“the daimonic that can be defined is not the true daimonic,” as Lao-Tse would say—it seems to exist both inside us and outside us. Like the Greek daemon and unlike the Christian demon, it takes both good/healing and bad/terrifying forms, depending on our commitment to rationalistic ego states.

In a sense, the daimonic is like the collective unconscious of Carl Jung, inside us as a part of our total self that the ego wishes to deny, outside us in all the other humans who ever existed and in the dreams, myths, and arts of all the world. But Harpur follows Irish poet (and Golden Dawn alumnus) W. B. Yeats as often as he follows Jung, and traces some of his ideas back to Giordano Bruno and the alchemical/hermetic mystics of the Renaissance. The daimonic is just a bit more personalized and individualized than Jung’s species unconscious.

Harpur’s major thesis is that unless we recognize the daimonic (make friends with it, Jung would say) it takes increasingly malignant and terrifying forms. For instance, the Greys of UFO abduction lore, he says, are deliberately mirroring our ego-centered and “scientistic” age—showing no emotions of the humans they experiment upon, just as the ideal science student feels no emotion and has no concern with the emotions of the animal being tortured in his laboratory."

Despite dealing with many subjects common to conspiracy theories, this book does not quite fit into that category. We are the conspirators, so to speak. We have repressed the most creative part of ourselves and now it is escaping in terrifying forms."

This thesis is similar to my take on it, but not quite the same. My view is less anthropocentric. It isn't all about us. But neither are the ETs separate from us. Other star systems are not just what science holds them to be -- orbs of nuclear fusion many light-years away. They have a psychic presence too, a presence in multiple systems of meaning, that we have barely begun to fathom.

Dear Charles, how delightful to be a part of this experience with you all. Meanwhile, I am sure you may have heard of the concept that the "aliens" may be our future selves.. some kind of timeline merging phenomenon where "they" are in contact with us as a form of reflection, self reflection, and/or reassurance..or simply just an evolution of physics revealing itself as we open or expand or receive boundless consciousness. If you have come across this notion and have contemplated would love to hear your response.. much love ❤️

That is SO fascinating. Thank you for elucidating it so clearly. This morning, I had a swim in the sea and sat in the shade to meditate. I drifted in and out, eyes open, eyes shut, bouncing around very pleasantly and then in the afterglow of that I was contemplating and accepting the concept and reality of evil. In all the forces of goodness surrounding me, with nothing but positivity and gratitude in my soul, I realised that to reconcile the force of evil that swirls everywhere, 'I have to face it.' What you say fits perfectly with my contemplation discovery. Your last sentence is haunting and beautiful. We can change our reality, of course we can.

I LOVE your sons painting. Art by children is often superb anyways, and this is definitely special. I am with you on just calling them UFO's .. I have seen so many! Whenever any one tells me they have never seen any I just let them know if they hang out with me long enough they will. It seems laughable and absurd that we live in an infinite universe and yet there is no other life out there. No way :D

Yes! I spend a lot of time in nature and especially looking at the night sky. But I saw the most UFO's and even ocean phenomenon, strange disappearing lights in the water etc, when I lived in Vieques island. Before moving there I did not know it was considered an alien highway 😅 but it is supposedly under the Bermuda triangle, constant activity. I live a mostly sober lifestyle so this all natural sightings!

I think they look MUCH different than how they are depicted in movies and blue screen holograms,, keep looking at the night sky and even I have seen one in the day. It was in Northern California (where I live now) and it shape shifted when my friend and I saw it etc. It was a bit alarming but also very cool.

Hi Charles,

Confirming that I was on Zoom (from Australia) with no glitches. Although I have had many glitches trying to add this comment.

I'd like to suggest a 6th possibility (which leads an opening for infinite possibilities) #6 We are living in a metaverse with infinite possible realities. And perhaps our 3D reality is at a point where it is now impossible to contain so many divergent realities and thus can no longer be held in one reality.

I recall attending a circle in the early nineties (when channeling was popular). At the circle someone was channeling an entity who called himself Duvaul and claimed he had lived 400 years ago as a french philosopher and spoke very convincingly in a french accent. The channeller went into a deep trance and could never remember the content of what he spoke. On one occasion he predicted a change in the near future where the world would split into 3 realities, one very primitive where people survived in a post apocalyptical life much like scenes out of a Mad Max movie. The second was a busy hectic high tech world, and the third was a spiritual plane where everyone lived quite blissfully manifested whatever they desired for the sheer joy of it. That was my recollection - interestingly when we met the next week and discussed the previous session everyone had quite a different recollection of what had been said. I wish we had taped it. But it did lead me to consider that each person is creating a separate reality at all times - how these separate realities all converge to form a collective reality seems beyond my scope of understanding. Hope this ramble was not too long - Thank you for sharing your deep insights into the state of our world - can't wait till the next one.

Love Ronald

I watched the YouTube version after the livestream and almost all of the references to UFOs were missing. I believe it was deliberate because something similar recently happened on the UFO - slowxposure Facebook page on Feb. 14. The audio was removed from segments of a two part presentation by Bob Lazar and George Knapp for 'OpenMindsTV'. The admin acknowledged that it was edited out without their knowledge. Thanks for sending out the original content because I was initially disappointed with how little you had to say about the topic.

Your sons' painting is lovely, he is very talented.

So this is interesting - I was watching the video about 45 minutes behind you, you were still recording as I started from the beginning, and I specifically remember hearing you talk about swamp gas and weather balloons because I didn't know the context and Googled it.

I heard of this happening too, an Australian woman questioning the WHO Pandemic Treaty posted a video and later found that a section that was actually made the crux of her argument was missing. As she said, most people do not have enough time to re-watch their upload to check that all the content - and so these 'edits' by whatever/however are able to be snuck in... flattening down the discussions. And in her case made her seem a supporter rather than a questioner...

Keeping 'the narrative' on the straight and narrow I would say ...

Yes, I that section was missing in the live stream in YouTube. I thought it was my network or Bluetooth and also thought it was odd that the entire live stream and my Bluetooth music hat was perfect except for that section. Pretty sure you came back in when you mentioned the weather balloons which seemed to come out of no where. I enjoy your pauses so didn't think much more about it.

As a software engineer and data scientist I've experienced my own live system glitches...now I'm wondering about all of them! Maybe that demo that glitched out meant the software wasn't right for the customer, or maybe a competitor, or maybe even a UFO! Definitely wasn't my fault, hahahaha.

In a way maybe this makes sense…since willingness to see something is based on something greater than how we normally think of it. Not talking about getting/losing extra points for seeing or not seeing. Maybe there is simply some unknown factor here which helps to drop or put up the veil? At any given point for any of us? An adult/divine form of hide and seek?
