Ancient Religion Professor: UFOs, The Paranormal & Esotericism | Jeff Kripal
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1o6X-ux8xgUSimilar to the other Remote Viewing topic.
Talks about Trauma spawning abilities, Remote Viewing, popular scientific method impossible with these phenomenon, and Religions and how ancient we humans, or civilization on Earth may be. That's just the first 5 minutes. Kripal has just published another book (Changed in a Flash) which is reason for interview I am guessing. Starts out with an Out of body Near Death Experience after lightning strike (Title of book) anecdote. Only 1 of his books, an older one, is on Audible, rest are still only
paper books.
Jeff Kripal is a professor of Philosophy and Religious Thought at Rice University. Jeff takes a closer look at paradoxical thoughts on the UFO phenomenon from a historian of religion. He has previously taught at Harvard Divinity School & is the author of eight books, including Changed in a Flash.
"Our Mind is God" is a continual theme
@1:00 - Levitation, not necessarily controlled by the person being levitate historical in church and called "Demons!" but ignored today except in Catholic Church but not spoken about, just documented and known by their scholars, chains into exorcism. Doesn't honor any religious belief, but understands there is something going on in this spiritual world which we are separating and mis-labeling by lumping it into entirely different compartments.
@1 hr 17 min /several times - Mentions
Jainism - Their symbol happens to be the Swastika with a hand, and a man in a Lotus Pose who looks very much like the 1950s-Recent "Alien" for large eyes and expression. They're the oldest religion which possibly Indian religions like Buddhism sort of spawned from. UFOs could be human souls or the next generation human souls, obviously unsure.
@ 1:30 - "Never go into a room alone with Whitley Striber - Weird things Happen." Also says Chris Bledsoe and Whitley are the "Real Deal" and Shamans in a world without shamanism.
@ 1:45 Rosicrucian-ism and purifying body "Protocols" to tap into information "downloads" brought up by host and history of Rosicrucian covered by Jeff. Trails off into "The Invisible College" and if Church or Man was center of world and "science" not having an easy start makes a lot of perceptions about history are wrong when viewed with current mindset.
@ 2 hr - Covers alien abductions/rape in several cases. Most abductions have some aspect of reproduction or samples taken.
