That one esoteric friend that gets so esoteric they turn into a sentient crystal

It’s wild how people often *try* to misconstrue you online. You’ll post something like “gotta love Scooby Doo’s consistency and efficiency” and some guy with a Peaky Blinders profile pic will be in the comment section like “so you endorse all of Fred’s political stances???”

The CIA lied about MK Ultra existing. They were sued and were forced to admit it but say they aren’t doing it now. Which lie do you believe? Subpoena and preserve these documents now.

The idea that we shouldn’t be talking about this because it’s a distraction from the Epstein Files is missing the forest for the trees in my opinion. Both sets of files have revolutionary potential. For precisely the reason that they get people asking deeper questions about the nature and structure of the systems we live in. The systems have to be exposed before they can be upended. Both Epstein’s network and the UFO/UAP phenomenon are cracks in the consensus reality that has underpinned our modern world which continues to be aggressively unsustainable. There’s multiple ways and multiple angles at which it needs to be broken open. The fact both of these files seem to be happening at the same time speaks to the transformative nature of the age we’re in more than anything else.

I understand why people think this topic is a massive distraction right now with everything that’s going on in our world but I actually think it’s the opposite. I think it’s a critical doorway into understanding why things are the way they are. It’s much bigger than whether or not aliens are real. This topic has tentacles into practically every aspect of our systems. Pry open this door and new unseen layers start to become revealed. And when we can collectively have discussions about these previously unseen layers? That’s how a revolution is born.

The UFO/UAP topic is so significant because it’s a door that once opened, leads to a bunch of other doors we have to address as a society. Black budget programs outside of congressional oversight, the nature of institutional secrecy and bureaucracy, alternative forms of energy and why they’ve been suppressed, consciousness and psi phenomenon, the control of private industry on government, intelligence agency programs, how stigmatization can be used as a weapon for secrecy. The list goes on. This door getting cracked open is going to lead the public to start asking a bunch of questions and that’s when the ball of yarn starts to become unfurled.

If you’re reading something and it’s going pretty well and then all of the sudden you come across the word “aliens,” notice your immediate reaction. It probably feels a little goofy. Unserious. Anti-intellectual. Even I can feel that reflex when I read the word. Now play with me here for a second: Let’s say you were an intelligence agency. We’ll use the CIA for example. Totally random. Let’s say you’re the CIA and it’s the 1940s and you’re trying to conceal the reality that nonhuman intelligences had visited Earth and that recovered craft were being secretly studied and reverse engineered. How would you keep people from looking into that? You’d probably want to keep the public from taking the subject seriously. So you wouldn’t just suppress information directly. You’d stigmatize the entire topic itself. You’d make it culturally radioactive. You’d flood media with caricatures and campy imagery so that serious scientists, academics, journalists, and public figures would instinctively avoid it for fear of looking ridiculous. You’d ridicule witnesses. Gaslight experiencers. Collapse the entire subject into the category of “crazy people stuff.” You might even get so good at it that 80 years later people in the year 2026 would still read the words “alien” or “UFO” and instinctively feel, deep in their nervous system, that this is not serious-person territory. That sure would be a good strategy to keep people from looking into something.

This guy switching up after ridiculing this topic for years and helping to create a culture of stigma around it. Unbelievable grift

Neil deGrasse Tyson is releasing a UFO book. The same man who declared the era of experiencer testimony expired is now publishing a book called Take Me to Your Leader and telling us he has wanted to be abducted since childhood. I have been an experiencer since I was eight years old. I have watched what the stigma around this subject costs people. I have calculated that cost myself, professionally and personally. I wrote about what borrowed credibility looks like, who actually paid for it, and how to spot the latecomers as they arrive. I also wrote about John Mack and what it actually looks like when someone with institutional power chooses to use it on behalf of experiencers instead of themselves. New essay is up. mazetometanoia.substack.com/p/borrowed-cre…

That one where the craft is going underwater at hundereds of miles per hour 🤯🤯

Neil deGrasse Tyson spent years mocking UFO witnesses and dismissing the phenomenon, and now he's releasing a book on it... The stigma he helped build kept serious researchers sidelined and silenced experiencers who deserved to be heard. Don't look to the incurious for guidance on a subject they once laughed at. Look to the people who never stopped asking questions: the researchers, the investigators, and above all, the contact experiencers. They are the FIRST-HAND witnesses to the most significant phenomena in human history. The phenomenon deserves awe, wonder, and intellectual courage, not a late pivot from someone who spent decades standing in the way of exactly that.

I can't wait until the new MSM line on UFOs switches around to "We knew all along" as their way of covering the discrediting fact that they kind of did and kept you in the dark. Ha ha ha.

Once you stop caring if people think you’re weird, something ancient and alive gets unlocked inside you.

Do the people on LinkedIn know we’re mystagogical beings in a fractal universe

You can tell how developed someone is by their ability to steelman perspectives they don’t agree with. If you can’t inhabit another worldview as if it was your own and see the world through that lens so deeply that you could make a compelling case for it, you’re not truly thinking deeply. You’re defending an identity.

You volunteered to be here on Earth at this time. You were selected for this lifetime because you are the strongest of souls and have skills to successfully complete your mission, our collective mission. Never doubt your amazing skills and move forward like the master you are.

I relate so strongly. I love that feeling of having my worldview expanded and having to integrate new complexity + nuance. I think people like us get our sense of security from constantly learning and expanding in a way that brings us closer to reality and other people get their sense of security from maintaining their worldview.

They’re going to be talking about Pleiadians on CNN soon, aren’t they

It’s such a strange phenomenon when a topic goes from the fringes of society right smack dab into the middle of mainstream discourse.
