On this episode of Neon Galactic, we interview Karin Austin of Archives of the Impossible and the John Mack Institute about her experience at Sol this year, and her work to help make experiencer metadata accessible to researchers.Karin Austin is an experiencer who participated in John Mack’s research into the alien encounter phenomenon during the late 1990s. She later evolved into a role as his personal assistant. After John’s passing, she helped the Mack family with the closing of his estate and was directly responsible for preparing John’s home-based archives for storageShe has spent the last years working to make the metadata available from Mack’s years of research, clinical sessions, and correspondence available for deeper study.We discuss how the subject of contact fits into the larger political dynamics of the United States, and how the messages long received by abductees and experiencers have been predicting a collapse. Are we upon that moment?How do we move forward as a topic under these social stressors?We also discuss how the nature of contact has changed over the years, and what that might mean.To learn more about the archives:https://impossiblearchives.rice.edu/—————————— Music Credits:Music: Cinematic Logo 04 by TaigaSoundProdFree download: https://filmmusic.io/song/8221-cinematic-logo-04Licensed under CC BY 4.0: https://filmmusic.io/standard-licenseMusic: Technology Calm Logo 01 by TaigaSoundProdFree download: https://filmmusic.io/song/6660-technology-calm-logo-01Licensed under CC BY 4.0: https://filmmusic.io/standard-license---Neon Galactic is a production of PBS affiliate KEET-TV in Eureka, CA.

Dr. Gregory Shushan -- Neon Galactic -- Episode 84
On this episode of Neon Galactic, we interview Dr. Gregory Shushan, author and researcher of near-death experiences throughout history in cultures all around the world.We discuss the phenomenology of NDEs, their role in the creation of religion, how they relate to other contact modalities, and their problematic status in academia. We also cover how the subject has shaped Shushan’s own thinking about the afterlife, and how various texts throughout history seem to outline what appears to be a relatively consistent picture of what happens after people die. Shushan is a historian of religions, an award-winning author, and the leading authority on near-death experiences and the afterlife across cultures and throughout history. Shushan is a Visiting Research Fellow at University of Winchester's Centre for Death, Religion and Culture; Adjunct Professor of Thanatology at Marian University; and Research Fellow of the Parapsychology Foundation.

Michael Phillip from Third Eye Drops -- Neon Galactic -- Episode 83
On this episode of Neon Galactic, we interview Michael Phillip, host of the popular Third Eye Drops podcast, about his show, his thinking, and how a recent out-of-body experience has impacted his life. Third Eye Drops is a long-running and popular podcast that covers a broad range of subjects and phenomena that challenge the predominant materialistic worldview and feature the work of such important thinkers as Car Jung, Iamblichus, and others. His cross-disciplinary approach, wide-ranging guest list, and fantastic conversations have helped me in shaping my own journey, as he often wrestles with the same issues and questions I do here. We discuss his recent experience at a Monroe Center retreat, where he experienced and out-of-body state that was both scary and revelatory. He gives us a brief history of the center and of the methodologies used. We discuss how that system parallels the thinking of sources as varied as the theosophists, the trans-Himalayan wisdom tradition, neoplatonism, hermeticism and more. Phillip demonstrates his deep knowledge of the subject matter and his easy-going disposition in this wonderful conversation.

Matthew Pines -- Neon Galactic -- Episode 82
On this episode of Neon Galactic, science educator David Stuss and I interview analyst and deep thinker Matthew Pines on UAPs, Jacob Barber, the politics of disclosure, the equities of ontological change, and how the evolving power structures of American society are now shifting in strange, powerful new ways.Matthew is currently the executive director of the BTC Policy, among other roles, and has become an important voice in the UAP/NHI conversation. Our chat starts with the current moment in the UAP issue, and Matt’s recent engagement with Barber’s Skywatcher group. From there, we explore how various factions of government and the private sector are preparing themselves for a new economic geography that may arise post-disclosure, and how society can help ensure that these new discoveries don’t further exacerbate existing inequities.We dive deep into the philosophical and scientific framework that Matt uses in his own ontological musings, and consider how those ideas can accommodate the various phenomena reported around UAP encounters and psi phenomenon. Matt outlines the Stephen Wolfram model that underpins his thinking and how Jonathon Gorard’s work has led to some further startling but important conclusions. We briefly discuss his novel, “Expectation Value,” and how the rise of artificial intelligence and UAPs represent similar challenges. To purchase his book:https://a.co/d/1fUDzzJGiven the current information environment online, we review the challenges faced by Barber and his group in pursuing science while under public scrutiny, and how getting the truth out in such a maelstrom can be a significant challenge. David Stuss is a science instructor from Camosun College in British Columbia.—---------------------- Music Credits:Music: Cinematic Logo 04 by TaigaSoundProdFree download: https://filmmusic.io/song/8221-cinematic-logo-04Licensed under CC BY 4.0: https://filmmusic.io/standard-licenseMusic: Technology Calm Logo 01 by TaigaSoundProdFree download: https://filmmusic.io/song/6660-technology-calm-logo-01Licensed under CC BY 4.0: https://filmmusic.io/standard-license---Neon Galactic is a production of PBS affiliate KEET-TV in Eureka, CA.

Dr. Mona Sobhani -- Neon Galactic -- Episode 81
On this episode of Neon Galactic, we interview Mona Sobhani, a flipped cognitive neuroscientist and author whose shifting worldview has opened her up to a life of transcendent experience and meaning.Her book,”Proof of Spiritual Phenomena: A Neuroscientist's Discovery of the Ineffable Mysteries of the Universe,” charts her exploration and journey out of the physical materialist paradigm that came with her work and education.The journey starts with her own mother’s psychic gift of reading coffee grounds, which had proven its efficacy over and over again throughout Mona’s life.“After succumbing to the depths of despair during an existential crisis, I climbed out of the grave I had dug for my hope, wiped my hands clean of the dirt of depression, and started on my way to uncover the answers to the ineffable mysteries of the universe that I had encountered in the darkness,” she writes in her online bio, which describes how she decided to “pull the lynch pin of consciousness and find myself at the crossroads of science and spirituality.”In this conversation, we discuss her personal experiences, her practices as a seeker and contemplative, and the in-depth research she conducted, at first for her own edification and later as the research for her book.“I want to live in a world where kindness is king – where humans can reclaim the word humanity and deserve it, “ her bio reads. “My heart longs for a world where humans see themselves as part of a vast, interconnected network that includes nature (not as separate from it) … . Let's create a world where we don't have to strive for justice and equality – where it already is just and equal. I want to see the doors of perception blown wide open.”To learn more about her story, or buy her book:www.monasobhaniphd.com—---------------------- Music Credits:Music: Cinematic Logo 04 by TaigaSoundProdFree download: https://filmmusic.io/song/8221-cinematic-logo-04Licensed under CC BY 4.0: https://filmmusic.io/standard-licenseMusic: Technology Calm Logo 01 by TaigaSoundProdFree download: https://filmmusic.io/song/6660-technology-calm-logo-01Licensed under CC BY 4.0: https://filmmusic.io/standard-license---Neon Galactic is a production of PBS affiliate KEET-TV in Eureka, CA.
