đ Total solar eclipses are one of the strangest cosmic coincidences.
The Sun is 400 times wider than the Moonâand also 400 times farther away. Thatâs why, from Earth, they appear exactly the same size.
Itâs what makes total eclipses possible, and it only works from here.
Most moons donât even orbit in a way that allows eclipses. Ours doesâperfectly.
Coincidence? Or something more?

![[Field Notes] Atheism Is the Opiate of the Masses: Probing The Blind Spots of Secular Certainty](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Aef5mDSJaXs/mqdefault.jpg "[Field Notes] Atheism Is the Opiate of the Masses: Probing The Blind Spots of Secular Certainty
What if the worldview functioning as an opiate today is not religion, but its absence?
In this field notes episode of Inquiry, Kelly Chase examines atheism not as a private belief or philosophical conclusion, but as a very recent mass cultural formation that now functions as the default worldview of educated Western society. Beginning with Marxâs famous claim that religion is the opiate of the masses, she asks whether modern secular materialism may now be serving a similar sedating function by making vast areas of human experience feel intellectually off-limits.
From there, the episode turns toward elite metaphysics. The public is often told that materialism is the rational, mature, evidence-based position, yet many of the people and institutions shaping the future take seriously spirituality, consciousness, simulation theory, mysticism, ritual, and esoteric frameworks. The question is not whether any single belief system is true, but whether citizens trained to dismiss the symbolic and metaphysical have been given a map that cannot represent the terrain power is actually navigating.
Finally, the episode considers the empirical and philosophical pressure points inside strict materialism: the hard problem of consciousness, near-death experience research, the PEAR Lab at Princeton, Dean Radinâs work at the Institute of Noetic Sciences, and anomalous findings that are usually met not with rigorous refutation but with studied disregard. These findings are not treated as proof of any particular metaphysics. They are treated as evidence that the question remains open, and that a genuine skeptic should apply suspicion not only to extraordinary claims, but to the dominant worldview that decides in advance which claims are allowed to count.

![[Field Notes] The Question of Evil: The Secret Theology of Ufologys Elite](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/BXr9_IZnUVk/mqdefault.jpg "[Field Notes] The Question of Evil: The Secret Theology of Ufologys Elite
After years immersed in the deep end of ufology, one question has proven impossible to shake: how is it that certain factions of the intelligence communityâpeople who possess more evidence than most that consciousness survives death, that the soul is real, and that we are more than our physical bodiesâso consistently engage in profound acts of moral evil?
This Field Notes episode explores the contradiction at the heart of anomalous research: the same fundamental knowledge about non-material reality that tends to moralize everyday experiencers, deepening their compassion, ethical sensitivity, and sense of consequence, appears to have the opposite effect in certain institutionalized contexts. Why? And what does that divergence reveal?
Kelly argues that the answer isnt hypocrisy, isnt power, and isnt institutional pressure alone. Its theologyânot in the formal religious sense, but in the deeper sense: the set of assumptions a person holds about what is real, what matters, and what counts. Every action presupposes a theory of reality. And when someone is willing to deceive, coerce, and harm others in service of a greater purpose, that willingness is not an operational detail. Its a theological commitment.
What kind of belief system allows someone to acknowledge the reality of the soul while treating human beings as expendable? What does it tell us about the UFO coverup that the people closest to the truth appear to have constructed a secret theology that quietly authorizes evil?
This is one of the most important questions in ufologyâand almost no one is asking it.

Welcome back to The UFO Rabbit Hole.
Today we return to the old podcast stomping grounds for the long-awaited part 3 of the Through the Looking Glass Series. In this episode, we follow Tom Matte as he heads to the Institute of Noetic Sciences in search of answers about his strange psi ability that he calls Upsight. What the team of scientists, working on chief scientist Dean Radin, found once that got him the lab was nothing short of groundbreaking. Could this help Tom finally get the answers heâs looking for? And what does all of this imply about the future of human consciousness?
Today we dive back into the deepest part of the rabbit hole to find out.

Today we welcome back Dr. James Madden to the show. As Iâm sure youâll recall, Jim joined us a couple of months ago for a discussion about Platoâs Cave. We also discussed some of his latest work applying the philosophical concept of the umwelt to the UFO phenomenon. And I was really excited to see that that episode has become one of the most listened to episodes of the podcasts, because itâs definitely one of my favorites. If you havenât listened to that episode yet, I highly recommend that you go back to that one first. Jimâs work builds on itself, and it will be helpful to lay down the foundation with that episode before moving onto this one.
In this episode, weâll be moving on to Dr. Maddenâs latest work. Over the last few months, in a flurry of articles released through his Substack, Jim has laid out a series of arguments as to the nature of the UFO phenomenon that are, frankly, mind blowing. Itâs not over-stating things to say that what Jim has done is to essentially break ufologyâand I mean that in the best possible way.
Because, in many ways, itâs been clear to anyone who is really paying attention that the traditional models and ontologies that have dominated modern ufology have needed to break. We began this podcast talking about what the UFO phenomenon might be, and we did a deep dive into the primary hypotheses including extraterrestrial, ultraterrestrial, interdimensional, extraterrestrial, etc. And all of those models are really useful for helping us to push our thinking about what the intelligence behind UFOs may represent. But if weâre being really honest with ourselves, we have to admit that none of them really fit. They come close in some ways, fall short in others, and ultimately leave us feeling like weâre trying to stretch a full-sized sheet over a queen-sized bed.
What weâve neededâdesperatelyâis a model that would collapse all of those ontological categories and integrate them into a larger, more coherent whole. And Iâd argue that what Dr. Madden is postulating with regard to the UFO phenomenon does exactly that. I truly believe that what he is pointing to here is the future of ufology. This work is urgent and critically important for us moving forward.

In this episode of Cosmosis, Kelly Chase and Jay Christopher King welcome back experiencer Courtney Leffall, whose story was featured in the docuseries, Cosmosis: UFOs & A New Reality. Together, they explore the deeply personal and societal implications of anomalous experiences, the role of disclosure, and how we integrate these experiences into our lives. Courtney shares his thoughts on government transparency, the connection between UFOs and ancestral spirits, and the need for interdisciplinary collaboration in understanding these phenomena.
This episode of Cosmosis offers a deeply personal and intellectual dive into the experiencer phenomenon, government disclosure, and the spiritual implications of UFO contact. Courtney Leffall provides a unique and necessary perspective, bridging religious, cultural, and experiencer narratives to offer a more holistic view of what may be unfolding.
Listeners are left with a challenge: Can we break down our own biases and expand the conversation to include perspectives we may have previously dismissed?

![[Field Notes] Why Do Experiencers Have Visions of Apocalypse? Meaning, Memory, and Manipulation](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/GlOEW9vKGSQ/mqdefault.jpg "[Field Notes] Why Do Experiencers Have Visions of Apocalypse? Meaning, Memory, and Manipulation
Apocalyptic visions are one of the most persistent patterns in anomalous experienceâand one of the least examined. Across abduction accounts, contact experiences, downloads, and altered states, experiencers consistently report visions of a coming cataclysm. The pattern holds across cultures, across centuries, and across radically different frameworks for understanding contact with non-human intelligence. And the prophecy never comes true.
That doesnt make it meaningless. It might make it more significant.
In this Field Notes episode, Kelly Chase lays out four theories for what these visions actually areâand what theyre doing. Is this species-level PTSD, the trauma of civilizational collapses encoded in our collective psyche and mistaken for prediction? Are these translation artifactsânon-human intelligence reaching for the most legible human metaphor for an ontological rupture that has no literal equivalent? Is the phenomenon itself functioning as a control mechanism, using apocalyptic certainty to fragment, isolate, and neutralize experiencer communities at precisely the moments they begin to cohere? Or is something considerably more terrestrial at work?
The apocalypse may not be coming. But understanding why so many people have been shown itâand who benefits from that visionâmay be one of the most important questions in the field.
