Speaking of things that actually are important and are not likely to be psy-ops, has anyone in the Kennedy campaign talked to RFK honestly about his platform on Israel? He really needs to tone down his rah rah attitude about it. Sure Israel is our ally (unless they don't feel like it that day), and we give them a shit ton of money, more than we give any poor nation, but I don't think it does his candidacy any good to play down the horrific way they treat the Palestinians OR the actual history of Israel,, the Nabka, Zionism, etc. RFK's attitude toward Israel/Palestine seems to be stuck somewhere in the 1970s, and he seems totally unaware that Palestinians have no rights, that they can be shot on the spot for no reason without consequences for the shooter, that their houses that they have lived in for generations can be seized and given to Israeli settlers, that the olive trees upon which they depend can be blown up just for fun. He doesn't seem to know that almost all Palestinians treated this way are not engaged in anything illegal, and that Israeli politicians routinely refer to them as sub-human. In other words, the Israelis have become just exactly like the people who killed 6 million of them in the 1940s. Furthermore, the Israelis routinely try to control the US with Mossad agents like Epstein who collect info on the elite so they can be blackmailed. Now I am fully aware that RFK is thinking of the American Jewish electorate whose votes he needs, but surely he is aware that about 80% of US Jews these days lean liberal and do not consider themselves Zionists. In this too, he seems to be stuck in the 1970s with a US population who at that time had a very simplistic idea of Israel as "good guys" and Palestinians as "terrorists." The attitude of the world and the US population toward Israel has changed, due to the bad behavior of the Israeli government and many Israeli soldiers and citizens. I am a big fan of RFK, but he needs to develop some nuance in his Israel platform; he has alienated many on the actual left with his blinkered, simplistic, fawning attitude toward Israel, and it is especially odd because he has such deep and broad knowledge about so many other things, and is so awake to immorality and corruption.

Pretty clear that lots of stuff not explainable by our normal secular understanding of the universe has occurred for millennia. Not surprising that folks with vested financial interests in "they are out there", keep finding evidence that "they are out there." Just like religious powers publicized supernatural miracles and visitations in ways that just happened to be in line with their priorities.

I am open and awed by the unimaginable strangeness and beauty of creation. Sceptical of those selling me their interpretations of it.

Funny the host quotes John keel.

Did you know that at older age, he started to see that it's a psychological phenomenon?

It's very similar to religious experiences and illustrates that even atheists have beliefs that override what they see!

Check out this bit from a Robert Anton Wilson book:

"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."

Part of the reason so many people have been easily fooled with lies, fabrications, misdirection and misunderstanding with the Covid fiasco is because of ignorance. How many people have read about , studied and understand biochemistry, the operation of biolabs, the biology of viruses, the history of vaccine financing, manufacturing and legislation, etc, etc. When you have little knowledge in an area, you tend to lean more on the opinion of "experts". Just look at how censorship, ridicule, fear of career loss, etc. was used very effectively these last few years to persuade people that this virus did not come out of a lab, that the US had nothing to do with bio-weapons research, that the virus was extremely deadly, that the vaccines were completely safe, and on and on. The deception worked and IS STILL WORKING on a LOT OF PEOPLE. Well, the SAME EXACT OPERATION has been going on with the UFO subject for 100 years. Just read a few books on the subject and you'll see what I mean. Read "Witness to Roswell" by Schmitt and Carey, "UFOs and the National Security State" by Richard Dolan, and "Flying Saucers are Real" by Donald Keyhoe. Like Greer has said when asked "where is the evidence" he answers "there is so much, I don't know where to begin".

Every person I've heard mention UFOs (or aliens) expresses fear and defensiveness. I'd much more like assistance from a friendly ET than from human generated AI; after all, if they're here, they've got a lot more going on than we do. I'd welcome their help.

This is the most interested I have been when having someone express belief in extra terrestrial life. I have always assumed it was the government’s way of distracting attention from whatever they are covering up or some sort of sensationalism that’s mixed with people’s delusions or hopes and fantasies. (I don’t mean to use “people’s delusions” in a disrespectful way, I have great respect for those suffering from mental illness and have had close family members go through some serious mental disorders that caused them to feel that they had all sorts of interesting experiences that were not actually real but rather figments of a broken mind and the resulting false memories that were created.)

Coast to Coast always made me smile a bit.

At this point, I don’t actually believe that humans even went to the moon, after looking at the evidence. But, I’m certainly open to learning more about extra terrestrial life so that I can make a more informed decision. My husband would be thrilled if I started believing in the moon landings but he would be horrified if I started believing in aliens.

After the Covid PSY-OP, I feel less trusting of “experts” more than I ever have in my entire life but I certainly don’t want to be so jaded that I miss a truth.

Free abundant energy would be amazing. I just want to spend all my time in nature and grow the most amazing garden and have lots of animals. I do those things to some degree but it’s expensive and stressful. Just living in the climate I live in requires lots of energy. Doing all those additional things and also taking care of financial obligations that come from such pursuits is very difficult. Having free abundant energy would change everything and make living more in line with nature more of a possibility. I think. There are so many things I don’t even know about regarding all the changes that would come about if that were to happen. Are we on the edge?

I haven't quite finished reading this conversation, though I will. It's compelling. There's a CE-5 community here in Australia and my brother is a participant. We occasionally discuss the subject of extra-terrestrial life and the possibility/probability of other dimensions. I'll share your essay with him.

The idea of readiness and maturity of humans to accept such information, the way 'reality' is maintained, is an important conversation to hold. Of course, so many of us have had unusual experience that defy conceptions of reality - what may be scientifically inexplicable. I have, since childhood, and have long thought that science may not have developed explanations, evidence or theories - yet, which doesnt mean it didnt happen. Contemplative philosophies have held alternative perspectives about reality for millennia, such as Buddhism - which is no longer disparaged as occult or othrredthrough western and colonialist values.

Writers, poets and artists provide metaphors and mirrors for other realities, that - unlike lived experience accounts - cannot be so easily dismissed as delusional.

Thank you, Charles, for sharing these valuable and important perspectives.

Think about Roswell NM. Alien crash site capital of the world. DO they have a recovered space vehicle? NO! Nothing but stories.

Now think. If the US or any other country retrieved a space craft from another world don't you think it would be ON DISPLAY! It would be the biggest money maker of all time!

Sorry, the (government) whistle blowers are lieing until we see proof!

I suggest that UFOs are entirely irrelevant to our present situation, whether covered up by government or not. I'd also say that in in our present situation the maintenance of orthodoxy has a dimension far more esoteric. And that is the ABOLITION of reality.

Grusch didn't risk his career and it's pretty silly, imo to jump straight to the conclusion that what it appears to be on the surface, is exactly what it is. And even on the surface, it's pretty f--ing contrived.

I wonder if it's too early to say they aren't "human"? Or at least some type of Homo Genus species? What if.. in some past space/time.. there was an "advanced" humanoid species..not too different than us and a cataclysmal event happened? Like a mass extinction. What if these "people" had the technology to go under the surface of the Earth and thrive on alternative energy sources and advanced tech? And the uncooperative/competitive ones were left on the surface to refigure it out after the event.

The videos I've seen of unidentified objects include crafts that submerge.

Beginning evolution classes teach that there is more diversity within a species, than between species, and the variations are linked to their unique ecosystem/environments.

I don't think what we are witnessing is from "out there". Just another more intelligent branch of Homo Genus that has adapted to a different environment on the planet.

We wouldn't recognize minerals or materials that occur where they occupy.

Disclosure is a very serious topic since there will be false disclosure and real disclosure. The Dark Journalist has been covering this subject very deeply and thoroughly for many years. Tonight another deep dive on utube: JFK COG UFO CAMPAIGN 2024 GOVERNMENT SECRETS REVEALED.

Thanks Charles, your words about our purpose on this earth to enhance life, to unfold more beauty and aliveness resonates so much with Heideggers thinking about "Poetically inhabiting the world", or Poetic dwelling. Just in case you haven't read it i bet you will love it deeply. It's an accesible text, for bien Heidegger. Here some key points summarized by our fellow other being, (AI) with "whom" we now dwell on this earth.

• For Heidegger, dwelling does not just mean physically residing in a place, but involves a more poetic and attuned relationship to the world.

• Poetic dwelling involves being open and sensitive to the world, seeing the uniqueness and richness in things, and experiencing a deeper sense of wonder.

• It involves thinking and acting in a creative and imaginative way, rather than just functionally or instrumentally. The poetic dwelled attunes themselves to the deeper meanings and mysteries of beings.

• Poetic dwelling aims to rediscover a richer relationship to the world that has been lost in modern life, which Heidegger sees as "homeless". He criticizes the functional and utilitarian approach to technology.

• Language and etymology are central to poetic dwelling for Heidegger. He explores the original meanings of words like "building" and "dwelling" to reveal their connection to truth and revealing.

• He sees language as the "house of Being" and argues that cultivating a poetic sensitivity to language can help us re-learn how to dwell authentically.

• Poetic dwelling ultimately points the way to re-opening ourselves to the mystery of Being. It offers a way to re-experience truth and rediscover a sense of wonder at the world.

• Heidegger's notion of poetic dwelling highlights the imaginative, creative and attuned aspects of really living in and inhabiting the world - "letting beings be" in their essence.

So in summary, poetic dwelling for Heidegger involves seeing the world not just as something present-at-hand for our use, but as something that envelops and invites our participation in a fuller, more imaginative way - attuning us to the mysteries of Being.
