Pretty excited for this one. Pasulka is - I think - up there with Jacques Vallee in a deeper understanding of the UFO phenomenon and our (small) place in it. For some reason her writing makes me feel - in a positive way - like the universe is so vast and hard to comprehend that it’s impossible for there not to be a Creator who made it all. Link to part 1 Synopsis: Dr. Pasulka breaks down: - Shocking similarities between alien abductions & purgatory that first pulled her into UAP research - Whether historical Catholic supernatural experiences would be interpreted today as UFO encounters - Why many researchers believe we need to radically rethink the concept of “aliens” - Physiology of UAP encounters and how experiencers may access altered states or different parts of the brain - Carl Jung’s theory that UFOs could emerge from the unconscious mind - Why belief in nonhuman intelligence is rapidly increasing, and why it may function as a modern religion - Reports throughout Catholic history describing encounters with nonhuman entities - Whether aerospace engineers and scientists are receiving “downloads” or ideas from nonhuman intelligence - Recent deaths and disappearances of scientists connected to nuclear and aerospace programs (Are they connected to UAP research?) - Why proof of nonhuman intelligence may NOT destroy religious belief - Why some people believe AI could be the antichrist, while others think resisting AI is the true danger - Whether governments are in a position to confirm historical religious events - Psychedelics, altered states, and historical encounters with nonhuman intelligence - Why certain people appear far more open to supernatural experiences than others - Hidden role sci-fi plays as a framework for understanding modern UFO phenomena - Real function of religion and how humanity uses belief systems to explain what science still can’t - Measurable physical & neurological benefits of prayer - Whether humanity is heading toward a religious revival, or if religion has become too politicized to recover This episode of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown explores the intersection of UFOs, religion, consciousness, AI, mysticism, Catholicism, neuroscience, psychedelics, government secrecy, and the future of human belief itself. This might be a direct link to both parts; Mayim tends to break up longer interviews into hour-ish long chunks and this says it’s close to 2 hours long:  UFOs in Religion: Hidden Link Between Ancient “Miracles” and Modern Aliens | Dr. Diana Walsh Pasulka Now on Rogan:  Joe Rogan Experience #2533 - Diana Pasulka |

The person who complains most, and is the most critical of others has the most to hide.
All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.

Stalker Alert! He's collecting our data! Yeah, I'm basically the most harmless stalker around. There's much larger entities knowing much bigger details about everybody. The easiest way is to be a little bit schizophrenic, a little bit random, morph the personality now and again. I'm fine with people think I'm a bit off, because I am, but more off than the profiles suggest, cat food advertisements when I have a bird and tons of other things that are totally wrong. Thinks I'm an influencer and trying to get me to buy more cameras and teleprompters and stuff like that. It's kind of like teasing an AI like a cat and laser pointer.

I did 16+ years as an art director at a big agency. Then got downsized, went back to college, and finished my graphic design degree. Now I’m at a smaller shop that doesn’t make me feel dread on Sunday nights with a bigger role, but lower stress. |

Looking back, it's amazing how much they wrenched societal change after 9/11 and the dotcom crash and then 2020 with the biowarfare virus freak out to get people to work from home. Americans aren't even reproducing at sustain level of 2 kids, only the immigrants are having 3 or more kids with a majority so jaded they have no kids. It's literally the prophetic intro to Idiocracy. We've all had massive direct changes in careers and life due to one or the other, and indirect changes to those not directly effected, so much that life in the 80s may as well have been on a different planet before Internet. |

Indeed - thinking back on it we didn’t realize it really at the time, but we lived through some major history. Completely agree on the 80s too - it’s tough to describe to people what it was like. The 90s were probably our last cap-G Great decade. At least I think so. |

If there wasn't all that behind the curtain and behind closed door shit going on to create the surveillance state we live in now. We heard about that stuff and laughed it off because the atrocious warnings were too bizarre, like they're going to spy on everybody's phone or change governments in other countries or rub shoulders with documented pedophiles (which were also hidden from we proles). Have another drink, the future looks great and nothing can stop us now.

And lead a life of woe, but not forsake
His rugged path; nor dare he view alone
His future doom which is but to awake.” - John Keats
