Neon Galactic with James Faulk

In this episode, I interview author, technologist and entrepreneur Rizwan Virk about his new book, “The Zen Entrepreneur and the Dream,” exploring how he was broken open by traumatic experiences and personal challenges that led him to an expanded universe of ontological possibilities. 
The book covers Virk’s journey from being an ambitious young businessman chasing his first major win to becoming both a financial and literary success, then how that journey ultimately ended up transforming his view of the world.
We review the early anomalous experiences that led to Virk’s catharsis, including lucid dreams, entity encounters, past life recollections, and synchronicities that challenged his understanding of reality.
We also explore concepts from Rizwan's previous book, "The Simulation Hypothesis," discussing how both ancient mystics and today’s thinkers use technological metaphors to describe spiritual concepts, and how that’s relevant to the conversation today around Buddhist ideas of Maya and its connection to simulation theory.
Virk then explains his distinction between NPC and RPG versions of simulation theory. The conversation then reflects on how personal challenges can serve as spiritual initiation.
We end with Virk offering his advice on how people can tune into spirit within their own lives, and how doing so offers a lifestyle that can protect one from ennui, angst, and general anxiety.

In this episode, I’m joined by Pavel Ibarra Meda from the Psicoactivo podcast and UFO researcher Daniel Elizondo to discuss Jay Stratton’s much-awaited book, “Out of the Shadows: Revealing the Truth About Non-Human Intelligent Life.”
We discuss the details we found most appealing, including the various descriptions of hitchhiker activity in Stratton’s home, as well as what the book reveals about the so-called Legacy Program and how it works. We also review the story of former Lockheed Martin official James Ryder, a legacy figure who flipped, and his connection to the Lucis Trust organization and theosophical ideas.
We then explore how the book largely ignores the broader experiencer story, and how that approach needs to change as the world seemingly comes closer and closer to acceptance of the phenomenon.
We also discuss the tone of the book, how Stratton seems to give himself enormous credit, while largely ignoring the contributions of Lue Elizondo, Christopher Mellon, and others.
Above all, we center  the importance of maintaining epistemic humility when discussing unexplained phenomena, and acknowledging the complex interplay between esoteric concepts and technological explanations.

On this episode, author, historian, and occultist Peter Levenda joins us once again to explore the UFO phenomenon and its relationship to consciousness, mysticism, religion, magick and human development over the centuries.
We consider the difference between the alien and spiritual entities, the initiatory power of contact, HP Lovecraft’s seemingly prescient work on the awakening of Cthulhu, and the likelihood that surviving remnants of Nazism play a continued role in developing and deploying alien technologies.
Levenda is the author, along with musician Tom Delonge, of the Sekret Machines non-fiction trilogy, of Sinister Forces, the Lovecraft Trilogy, The Dark Lord, Stairway to Heaven, and several other books.
He explains the idea behind celestial ascent, the spiritual paths that have been separately developed in numerous ancient cultures, and how they relate to non-human intelligence and contact with UFOs.
We also discuss the problematic development of ideologies around such events, and how those ideologies can prevent discernment.

How does archetypal astrology connect to UFOs and non-human intelligence? Are humans and so-called aliens both merely subject to the whims of stars and planets, or does the UFO itself function as the eyes and ears of a greater reality (or agency) that seeks to keep humans under quarantine?
In this episode, Dan Waites from the World Astrology Report YouTube channel joins us to explore this question, and to plot other ways that humans are impacted by celestial mechanics.
We analyze the intersection of astrology, UFO phenomena, and the rise of AI, exploring how cosmic cycles and planetary alignments might influence human events and beliefs. 
Waites explains his research on long-term astrological cycles, including Pluto-Neptune conjunctions and their correlation with historical periods of division and change. These include major historical episodes, including the Protestant Reformation and the Cold War.
We then examine how AI might serve as a new tool for mind control, reflecting on its potential to shape beliefs and push a kind of radical skepticism. Waites draws parallels to Rudolf Steiner's concepts of Ahriman and Lucifer as forces influencing human spirituality and materialism. 
We also discuss the recent passage of “Bledsoe Day,” and the failure of a major event to occur. What might that mean? How will experiencer Chris Bledsoe respond? How might the new information Bledsoe mentions in his prophecy ultimately emerge, if it ever does?

How should we understand the human inclination to interpret everything extraordinary under the lens of religious dogmatism? Can we prevent that collapse of categories when engaging the subject of UFOs and non-human intelligence?
On this episode, I sit down with Carlos Eire, author of “They Flew:  A History of the Impossible,” and the T. L. Riggs Professor of History and Religious Studies at Yale University about his book, his sudden prominence in the UFO discussion, and the nature of human belief around extraordinary encounters and visionary experiences.
We explore how Christians, both Catholic and Protestant, are beginning now to accommodate the UFO subject, and how that process is in some instances reducing down to the already known categories of angels and demons.
We explore the work of author and religious studies scholar Diana Pasulka around the UFO subject, artificial intelligence and Christian dogma around the Anti-Christ, and explore how Eire himself sees the confluence of these two subject areas.
