Starlight Sickness: Gaslighting, Consent Engineering & How I Got Lost In Ufologys Hall of Mirrors Inquiry with Kelly Chase 2026-06-29 | This episode began as an investigation into Sigmund Freud, Edward Bernays, propaganda, psychoanalysis, and the hidden machinery through which modern perception management came to be. But somewhere along the way, it became something much more personal.In Starlight Sickness, Kelly traces the strange lineage between Freud’s abandonment of the seduction theory, Bernays’s engineering of consent, and the ways power moves harm out of view by relocating it into the minds of the harmed.From the origins of modern public relations to the hall of mirrors inside ufology, this episode asks what happens when the tools we use to interpret reality also become the tools used to obscure it. How do we practice discernment without losing trust in our own perception? How do we make room for complexity without allowing complexity to become fog? And what does accountability look like when the story you were living inside begins to collapse?In light of recent allegations against her former best friend and creative partner Jay Christopher King, Kelly turns the same questions back on herself, beginning the process of untangling what happened, what she believed, what she may have gotten wrong, and what this community is owed now.This is an episode about gaslighting, trauma, consent engineering, ufology, and the terrifying difficulty of finding solid ground in a world built to manage perception.Topics explored: Sigmund Freud | Edward Bernays | propaganda | psychoanalysis | gaslighting | consent engineering | perception management | public relations | the unconscious | repression | seduction theory | the Oedipus complex | Jeffrey Masson | Freud Archives | Emma Eckstein | Wilhelm Fliess | expert authority | trauma | memory | interpretation | accountability | narrative control | invisible government | torches of freedom | United Fruit Company | Guatemala coup | ufology | experiencer communities | anomalous experience | sexual trauma | abduction narratives | Jay Christopher King | The Experiencer Group | spiritual abuse | trust and betrayal | epistemic instability | discernment | reality testing | institutional language | accountability language | privacy language | harm and omission | truth and coherence | Plato’s Cave | Jung | systems of control | manufactured consent | the hall of mirrorsReference in this Episode:—Addressing the Allegations Against My Former Creative Partner, Jay Christopher King (inquirywithkellychase.substack.com/p/addressing-the-allegations-against)—Starlight Sickness (youtu.be/mvz-2cpdulo?si=4Q-YGkA9BN7ISBfD) — Helico Tele—Propaganda (amzn.to/3R8q53v) — Edward Bernays (1928)—The Engineering of Consent (amzn.to/4bb2nKC) — Edward Bernays (1947)—The Aetiology of Hysteria (nypsi.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Freud-SE-vol-III-pp187-221-Aetiology-of-Hysteria.pdf) — Sigmund Freud (1896)—The Interpretation of Dreams (amzn.to/4xPRKH3) — Sigmund Freud (1900)—Three Essays on the Theory of Sexuality (amzn.to/3Qsi6OC) — Sigmund Freud (1905)—The Assault on Truth: Freud’s Suppression of the Seduction Theory (amzn.to/4bfcPAT) — Jeffrey Masson (1984)—Sigmund Freud and the Jewish Mystical Tradition (—amzn.to/4wcFXRA) — David Bakan (1958)—Trust Me, I’m Lying: Confessions of a Media Manipulator (amzn.to/4g8dQhI) — Ryan Holiday (2012)—I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell (amzn.to/4oSVdR4) — Tucker Max (2006)Support The ShowPatreon: inquirywithkellychase.comSubstack: http://inquirywithkellychase.substack.comConnect with KellyWebsite: https://kellychase.media/X: https://x.com/kellychasemediaInstagram: instagram.com/kellychasemediaTIMESTAMPS05:27 Propaganda and The True Ruling Power09:20 Freudian Ick10:58 Jeffrey Masson, Heretic13:18 Sigmund Freud and The Source of the Nile17:49 Wilhelm Fliess, A Passionate Friendship19:55 Emma Eckstein and The Stronger Sex22:06 A Little Sleight of Hand24:21 The Oedipus Complex and The Nucleus of Neuroses32:02 The Baby and the Bathwater33:21 Trust the Experts34:44 You Can’t Do Anything With This Information37:54 The Torches of Freedom40:31 The Coup43:11 A Koan48:15 The Abstract Becomes Horrifyingly Personal52:21 Responding to Jay Christopher King’s Statement01:01:03 Fall 202301:05:21 The Epistemic Black Boxes of UfologyMUSICThe Uh Experiment by RimskyMusicLicense Purchased via PremiumBeatMONETIZATION ID: Z0GIJ3LKTGDGRDBE
[Field Notes] Atheism Is the Opiate of the Masses: Probing The Blind Spots of Secular Certainty Inquiry with Kelly Chase 2026-06-12 | 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 Marx’s 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 Radin’s 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.Topics explored: Marx and religion | opiate of the masses | atheism as ideology | secularization | materialism | consciousness | the hard problem | non-material reality | elite belief | WEF and spirituality | Silicon Valley mysticism | simulation theory | René Girard | Peter Thiel | Elon Musk | Bohemian Grove | ritual and power | Skull and Bones | esotericism | operative metaphysics | near-death experiences | PEAR Lab | Dean Radin | anomalous cognition | mind-matter interaction | dogma and skepticism | worldview enforcement | social sanction | epistemic humility | the metaphysics of powerInquiry with Kelly Chase is brought to you by SpectreVision Radio.Produced in partnership with Voltage.fm.

The Weaponized Wound: Trauma, Belief Engineering & the Fatal Flaw in the Control Mechanism Inquiry with Kelly Chase 2026-06-03 | Why do anomalous experiences so often arrive in the wake of trauma? And what happens when the people who understand that connection decide to use it as a weapon?This episode of Inquiry follows trauma as the hidden throughline connecting UFOs, consciousness, psychological operations, and the engineering of belief at scale. Kelly Chase starts with how human perception actually works, drawing on Donald Hoffman's "The Case Against Reality," James Madden's umwelt and über-umwelt from "Unidentified Flying Hyperobject," and Jeffrey Kripal's Filter Thesis, then grounds it all in the predictive processing model of the brain and Karl Friston's free energy principle. The picture that emerges is unsettling: trauma doesn't only wound a person, it makes them porous, loosening the filters that hold consensus reality in place.From there the conversation turns toward how that vulnerability has been exploited. It traces belief manipulation from the 1980 "From PSYOP to MindWar" paper by Michael Aquino and Paul Vallely, through MKULTRA and Operation Mockingbird, to the declassified reality of Operation Northwoods and the manufacturing of consent. It brings in Jacques Vallée's control system hypothesis and Colm Kelleher's concept of bidirectional mimicry to ask whether human institutions and the phenomenon itself may be using the same lever: disruption, destabilization, and the reshaping of belief in the rupture's aftermath.Then it turns the dread on its head. Research on openness to experience and Post-Traumatic Growth suggests the architects of mass stress made a critical miscalculation. Trauma creates openings, and openings go both ways. You can crack the shell of consensus reality to make people malleable, but you cannot control what hatches.Topics explored: Trauma and anomalous experience | experiencer patterns | the Filter Thesis | Donald Hoffman | perception as interface | umwelt and über-umwelt | James Madden | Jeffrey Kripal | predictive processing | Karl Friston | free energy principle | belief malleability | shattered assumptions | meaning violation | belief engineering | MindWar | Michael Aquino | Paul Vallely | psychological operations | MKULTRA | Operation Mockingbird | cognitive sovereignty | bidirectional mimicry | Colm Kelleher | black triangle craft | Jacques Vallée | control system hypothesis | Operation Northwoods | manufactured consent | openness to experience | Post-Traumatic Growth | consciousness-level immune response | non-human intelligence | contact experiencesInquiry with Kelly Chase is brought to you by SpectreVision Radio.Produced in partnership with Voltage.fm.

Alien Symbols for Consciousness Shift: Ontological Rupture Explained #consciousness #epistemology Inquiry with Kelly Chase 2026-04-17 | New Episode: Why Do Experiencers Have Visions of Apocalypse? Meaning, Memory, and ManipulationWhat if the apocalypse isn't a prediction — it's a translation problem?If non-human intelligence were trying to communicate something like a consciousness-level transformation, an ontological rupture, a moment after which nothing is the same — how would it do that? It doesn't share our language. It may not share our frame of reality at all.So it uses the closest human-readable image available: the end of the world.Not because the world is literally going to explode. But because "everything you know stops being true" is an abstract concept — and fire falling from the sky is something a human nervous system can actually receive.The collapse of the metaphysical scaffolding. The end of the systems that made reality comprehensible. That's not a physical event. But it maps onto one. And maybe that mapping is the only tool available across whatever gap exists between us and whatever is making contact.The full episode is available wherever you listen to podcasts.

[Field Notes] Why Do Experiencers Have Visions of Apocalypse? Meaning, Memory, and Manipulation Inquiry with Kelly Chase 2026-04-16 | Apocalyptic visions are one of the most persistent patterns in anomalous experience—and 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 doesn't 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 are—and what they're doing. Is this species-level PTSD, the trauma of civilizational collapses encoded in our collective psyche and mistaken for prediction? Are these translation artifacts—non-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 it—and who benefits from that vision—may be one of the most important questions in the field.Find the full transcript on my Substack: inquirywithkellychase.substack.com/p/why-do-experiencers-have-visions🗒️ About Field NotesField Notes are short-form episodes where Kelly thinks aloud—tracing patterns, chasing questions, and working through ideas that haven't yet reached their conclusion.

[Field Notes] What Happened in 2021? Analyzing A Hidden Wave of Consciousness Shifts Inquiry with Kelly Chase 2026-04-14 | Something shifted in 2021 — not just for Kelly, but for an unusual number of people all at once.In this Field Notes episode, she thinks aloud about a pattern she keeps running into: waves of consciousness-altering experiences that clustered around a single year, reported independently, with near-identical features and near-identical language. More than a few people, without any prompting, reached for the exact same phrase to describe what happened to them: a sleeper agent, activated.She traces the pattern outward — from veteran UFO researcher Stan Gordon's description of 2021 as the year "they opened all the cages at the Cryptid Zoo," to Edgar Mitchell's overview effect, to the measurable weakening of Earth's electromagnetic field and the approaching solar maximum — and keeps arriving at the same question: what changed?This episode doesn't offer a single answer, just a few working theories held together honestly and the growing sense that 2021 may have been a threshold rather than an anomaly.If you're a member of the anomalous class of 2021, this one's for you.Find the full transcript on my Substack.🗒️ About Field NotesField Notes are short-form episodes where Kelly thinks aloud—tracing patterns, chasing questions, and working through ideas that haven't yet reached their conclusion.

Truth Crisis: The Deliberate Collapse of Shared Reality with Philosopher James Madden Inquiry with Kelly Chase 2026-04-07 | Something has shifted dramatically in the last few years. The institutions and information structures we were trained to trust have failed in ways that are now difficult to ignore, producing a kind of generalized mistrust that makes it hard to think, hard to act, and hard to know what a good life even looks like anymore.In this episode, Kelly sits down with philosopher and author James Madden to examine what it means to navigate belief and meaning when the ground beneath shared reality has already given way. Jim is the author of Unidentified Flying Hyper-Object: UFOs, Philosophy, and the End of the World and Thinking About Thinking: Mind and Meaning in the Era of Techno-Nihilism, and a longtime thinking partner whose refusal to offer easy answers has made him a favorite among listeners of Kelly's previous work.They talk about the complacent indifference that has settled over people in the wake of seemingly endless waves of institutional scandal and revelation. They talk about conspiracy thinking as a cognitive response to the collapse of trusted authority—and why the fact that some conspiracies turn out to be real makes the situation harder to navigate, not easier. They talk about why generalized epistemic mistrust is such an effective mechanism for preventing meaningful action. And they talk about what it means to keep trying to live well when you can no longer trust the information you would need to do it.Topics explored: epistemological collapse | conspiracy thinking as cognitive response | institutional trust failure | the "big other" | generalized skepticism as paralysis | information warfare | the psychology of indifference | epistemic mistrust and political action | radical self-reliance | faith and probability | living well under uncertainty | Žižek | Lacan | Plato's RepublicInquiry with Kelly Chase is brought to you by SpectreVision Radio.Produced in partnership with Voltage.fm.

[Field Notes] The Fake Alien Invasion: How An Impending Threat Can Be Used To Manufacture Consent Inquiry with Kelly Chase 2026-04-02 | Something has been building quietly in the UFO space for the past few years. The Overton window around non-human intelligence has shifted. Insider sources are whispering about a contact event in 2026 or 2027. And a very old theory—that a fake alien invasion could be engineered to manufacture consent—is surfacing again in places Kelly can no longer dismiss as fringe. In this Field Notes episode, she doesn't tell you what to believe. Instead, she runs the thought experiment: if someone were preparing the public for something, how would it unfold, and what would it accomplish? The scenario she constructed is fiction. The mechanisms it describes are not.🗒️ About Field NotesField Notes are short-form episodes where Kelly thinks aloud—tracing patterns, chasing questions, and working through ideas that haven't yet reached their conclusion.

[Field Notes] The Question of Evil: The Secret Theology of Ufologys Elite Inquiry with Kelly Chase 2026-03-31 | 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 community—people who possess more evidence than most that consciousness survives death, that the soul is real, and that we are more than our physical bodies—so 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 isn't hypocrisy, isn't power, and isn't institutional pressure alone. It's theology—not 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. It's 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 ufology—and almost no one is asking it.Get the episode transcript on Substack: inquirywithkellychase.substack.com/p/the-question-of-evil🗒️ About Field NotesField Notes are short-form episodes where Kelly thinks aloud—tracing patterns, chasing questions, and working through ideas that haven't yet reached their conclusion.

Navigating Uncertainty: Tools for a World Without Answers #discernment #inquiry Inquiry with Kelly Chase 2026-03-29 | The places where our models break down are the places where we learn the most about what those models actually are.And right now, it feels like the entire world is standing at the edge of that kind of breakdown—without a clear map for what comes next.The goal isn’t to replace one certainty with another. It’s to build something more durable: tools for navigating uncertainty, for distinguishing signal from noise, and for asking better questions.From the first episode of Inquiry with Kelly Chase:How to Inquire: What UFOs & Anomalous Experience Can Teach Us About Epistemic CollapseAvailable wherever you listen to podcasts.#epistemology #truth #criticalthinking #discernment #signalcraft #consciousness #psychology #deepdive #fyp #foryou #foryoupage
Uncover Truth: Questioning Realitys Filters and Beliefs #consciousness #awakening Inquiry with Kelly Chase 2026-03-29 | This is an inquiry into inquiry itself—how beliefs form, how they harden, and how our perception of reality gets shaped, filtered, and sometimes distorted.The anomalies aren’t distractions. They’re diagnostic tools. The places where our models fail most visibly are the places where the most important questions live.That’s where this work stays—not chasing answers, but asking better questions in a world that resists clarity.Because the world is stranger than we were told. And if you can stay with that, it becomes something else entirely—an invitation to see more clearly.From the first episode of Inquiry with Kelly Chase:How to Inquire: What UFOs & Anomalous Experience Can Teach Us About Epistemic CollapseAvailable wherever you listen to podcasts.#epistemology #truth #consciousness #philosophy #criticalthinking #anomalous #signalcraft #discernment #psychology #deepdive #fyp #foryou #foryoupage
UFOs, Reality, and Truth: Navigating the Unknown #ufos #consciousness #experiencer Inquiry with Kelly Chase 2026-03-28 | Very quickly, the question stopped being “What are UFOs?” and became something deeper: what kind of reality allows experiences like this to happen at all?From there, the questions only deepen. How do we know what we know? What are the limits of our models—and how would we recognize them from the inside?These are the questions experiencers have been quietly grappling with for decades. And now, they’re becoming unavoidable for everyone.Because the anomalies—the things that don’t fit—aren’t distractions. They’re where our models break. And where they break is where we learn the most.We’re standing at the edge of that breakdown now. The work isn’t to replace one certainty with another—it’s to build better tools for navigating uncertainty.From the first episode of Inquiry with Kelly Chase:How to Inquire: What UFOs & Anomalous Experience Can Teach Us About Epistemic CollapseAvailable wherever you listen to podcasts.#epistemology #ufo #consciousness #truth #philosophy #criticalthinking #anomalous #signalcraft #discernment #psychology #deepdive #fyp #foryou #foryoupage
How Knowledge Builds: From Naming to Cosmic Explanations #awakening #consciousness Inquiry with Kelly Chase 2026-03-28 | This is how knowledge builds. We move from naming, to categorizing, to modeling, to theorizing—each step increasing our ability to explain the world.A rock stops being just a rock. It becomes a record of processes, conditions, and ultimately cosmic history—traced back to ancient stars that existed long before us.At a certain point, this creates a powerful assumption: that if we keep going, everything will eventually be explained. That reality is fully knowable, and every phenomenon has a material explanation waiting to be discovered.In many ways, we didn’t lose faith—we replaced it. The belief in an all-seeing God became a belief in an all-explaining system.From the first episode of Inquiry with Kelly Chase:How to Inquire: What UFOs & Anomalous Experience Can Teach Us About Epistemic CollapseAvailable wherever you listen to podcasts.#epistemology #science #truth #consciousness #philosophy #criticalthinking #materialism #cosmos #signalcraft #deepdive #fyp #foryou #foryoupage
Ontological Shock: Navigating Realitys Collapse #consciousness #meaning #ontology Inquiry with Kelly Chase 2026-03-27 | Most experiencers didn’t go looking for what they found. It arrived unbidden, shattered their worldview, and left them to figure it out largely alone—without support, and often without being taken seriously.And yet, many of them develop something crucial: the ability to live with uncertainty without collapsing into it. They learn to resist false certainty, to keep asking better questions, and to take their experience seriously without turning it into dogma.That is exactly the skill set the rest of the world needs right now. Because what we’re experiencing—the breakdown of trust, the flood of destabilizing information, the sense that our models of reality are failing—is the same structure they’ve been navigating for years.This isn’t a fringe problem anymore. It’s the central question of this moment: what do you do when your model of reality stops working?From the first episode of Inquiry with Kelly Chase:How to Inquire: What UFOs & Anomalous Experience Can Teach Us About Epistemic CollapseAvailable wherever you listen to podcasts.#experiencer #epistemology #truth #consciousness #ufo #anomalous #criticalthinking #discernment #signalcraft #psychology #deepdive #awakening #fyp #foryou #foryoupage
Escape the Maze: Find Clarity & Reclaim Your Truth #discernment #consciousness Inquiry with Kelly Chase 2026-03-27 | We’re not being subdued by force. We’re being subdued by overload. Endless headlines, constant decoding, an environment designed to keep you reacting instead of thinking.We’re not going to escape this maze by getting better at navigating it. At some point, you stop tracing the walls and start cutting through them—stepping back from the frenzy to ask deeper questions that don’t shift with every news cycle.What’s actually true? What does it mean to know something? What is good, real, and worth holding onto?This isn’t about reaction or denial. It’s about reclaiming clarity, discernment, and agency—and remembering that we were never meant to live inside the maze in the first place.From the first episode of Inquiry with Kelly Chase:How to Inquire: What UFOs & Anomalous Experience Can Teach Us About Epistemic CollapseAvailable wherever you listen to podcasts.#epistemology #truth #criticalthinking #discernment #signalcraft #consciousness #awakening #informationwar #psychology #deepdive #fyp #foryou #foryoupage
Government Admits Directed Energy Weapons Exist! #conspiracy #directedenergyweapons #awakening Inquiry with Kelly Chase 2026-03-26 | Yesterday’s “conspiracy theories” are becoming official talking points—almost overnight.Havana Syndrome, once dismissed or downplayed, is now back in serious discussion, with new reporting pointing to possible directed-energy mechanisms and even a device the U.S. government has tested.At the same time, officials are speaking more openly about microwave and non-kinetic weapons—technologies that blur the line between science fiction and military reality.This isn’t just a technological shift.It’s a psychological one.Because when ideas that were once ridiculed start reappearing in official language, the question isn’t just what’s true—It’s how we decide what’s real in the first place.From the first episode of Inquiry with Kelly Chase:How to Inquire: What UFOs & Anomalous Experience Can Teach Us About Epistemic CollapseAvailable wherever you listen to podcasts.#havanasyndrome #disclosure #conspiracy #truth #epistemology #criticalthinking #informationwar #psychology #ufo #anomalous #deepdive #signalcraft #government #technology #fyp #foryou #foryoupage #viral
Atheists Unexpected Spiritual Experience: My Life Changed #materialism #consciousness #experiencer Inquiry with Kelly Chase 2026-03-26 | In August 2021, I became the kind of person I used to dismiss.I had spent my entire adult life as a strict materialist—convinced that reality was purely physical, that consciousness was just brain activity, and that anything “paranormal” was either mistaken or imagined.I didn’t just doubt those experiences.I felt quietly certain the people having them were wrong.It never seriously occurred to me that I might be.From the first episode of Inquiry with Kelly Chase:How to Inquire: What UFOs & Anomalous Experience Can Teach Us About Epistemic CollapseAvailable wherever you listen to podcasts.#materialism #consciousness #awakening #epistemology #paradigmshift #ufo #anomalous #criticalthinking #psychology #truth #signalcraft #fyp #foryou #foryoupage
Experiencers: Those Whove Seen Beyond Consensus Reality #phenomenon #experiencer #consciousness Inquiry with Kelly Chase 2026-03-25 | For most people, the destabilization happening right now feels new.But there’s an entire community for whom this kind of ontological vertigo isn’t new at all—people who have spent years living at the edge of what consensus reality can explain.UFO encounters. Precognitive dreams. Near-death experiences. Contact with something that shouldn’t be possible.They call themselves experiencers—not as a claim about what happened, but as a recognition that something did.And that it changed them.As the boundaries of the “real” begin to shift, their stories start to matter in a different way.#experiencer #ufo #consciousness #paranormal #nde #precognition #remoteviewing #anomalous #epistemology #truth #disclosure #psychology #signalcraft #fyp #foryou #foryoupage #awakening #deepdive
How to Inquire: What UFOs & Anomalous Experience Can Teach Us About Epistemic Collapse Inquiry with Kelly Chase 2026-03-24 | The world feels like it's coming apart at the seams—and it's not your imagination. In the span of just a few months, the Epstein files have exposed elite networks of abuse that were mocked as conspiracy theory for years, the U.S. government has confirmed Havana Syndrome and openly acknowledged its directed energy weapons program, UFO disclosure has moved from fringe forums to executive directives, and AI has advanced to the point where visual evidence can no longer be trusted.Each of these stories is destabilizing on its own. Together, they produce something else entirely: a collective epistemic crisis. The shared map we've been using to navigate reality is disintegrating in real time—and almost nobody seems to know what to do next.In this inaugural episode, Kelly Chase introduces the premise of Inquiry: why the anomalous experience community—people who have spent years navigating the collapse of their own models of reality—may be the most prepared guides we have for this moment. She traces how knowledge is built, why it's more fragile than we're taught to believe, and what it actually means to ask better questions when the ground is shifting beneath your feet.TOPICS:epistemic collapse, UAP disclosure, the Epstein files, Havana Syndrome and directed energy weapons, AI and the crisis of evidence, anomalous experience, the philosophy of knowledge, and what it means to inquire honestly in a post-consensus worldREFERENCED IN THIS EPISODE:Through The Looking Glass [Pt 1]: My Initiation in the Anomalous: youtu.be/nVkGEL5eRiYCosmosis: Origins: youtu.be/YSaKltNvTGMSUPPORT THE SHOW:Patreon: inquirywithkellychase.comSubstack: inquirywithkellychase.substack.comCONNECT WITH KELLYWebsite: kellychase.mediaX: x.com/kellychasemediaInstagram: instagram.com/kellychasemediaWATCH SEASON 1 of COSMOSIS: UFOs & A NEW REALITYPrime Video: primevideo.com/detail/0GR10KHFPAGTE1FK7173P5I2N1/ref=atv_dp_share_cu_rTubi: tubitv.com/series/300019017/cosmosis-ufo-a-new-realityTIMESTAMPS01:21 Epstein Files Shockwave03:51 Directed Energy Revealed05:52 UFO Disclosure Tease06:53 AI and Epistemic Crisis10:48 Why Everyone Feels Frozen14:21 Cutting Through the Maze16:23 Meet the Experiencers19:51 My Worldview Breaks23:07 What Happened in 202127:16 From UFOs to Inquiry29:21 How Knowledge Is Built35:12 Population Count Paradox39:49 Experiencer Resilience42:24 What This Show Will Do45:18 Welcome and CreditsMUSICThe Uh Experiment by RimskyMusicLicense Purchased via PremiumBeatMONETIZATION ID: Z0GIJ3LKTGDGRDBE

[The UFO Rabbit Hole] Through The Looking Glass [Pt 3]: Upsight & The Future of Human Consciousness Inquiry with Kelly Chase 2026-02-03 | 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 he’s 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.

Is This How The Control Mechanism Works? Narrative As Interface Between the Psyche & NHI #nhi Inquiry with Kelly Chase 2025-08-22 | A UFO isn’t just something we see in the sky. It's an event that catalyzes us into creating a new reality in response. The stories we tell about it aren’t just explanations—they’re the way we actually shape meaning and bring new worlds into being.
Unfurling The Myth: Narrative As Interface Between Psyche & The Field Inquiry with Kelly Chase 2025-08-21 | In this episode, Kelly shares her recent paper Unfurling the Myth, presented at the University of Exeter during a workshop on Process Philosophy, Plasma Cosmology, and Transpersonal Psychology. This gathering brought together scientists, philosophers, and researchers—including Robert Temple, Jeffrey Kripal, Bernard Carr, Massimo Teodorani, and Nick Cook—to explore the possibility that plasma, the fourth state of matter, could serve as a substrate for non-biological intelligence.Kelly’s paper argues that the UFO phenomenon is not just an anomaly in the sky but a relational event—an encounter that engages the psyche through the deep structures of narrative. Rather than delivering answers, the phenomenon generates mystery, catalyzing transformation on both personal and cultural levels.Drawing on thinkers like Robert Temple, Jacques Vallée, and Eric Davis, as well as research in narrative cognition and the psychology of curiosity, Kelly explores how UFOs may function as mythic initiators: destabilizing our categories of knowledge, activating curiosity, and compelling us to tell new stories. These stories are not just interpretations but mechanisms of reality-making—reshaping our understanding of self, world, and cosmos.Key Themes in This Episode:—Plasma cosmology and the possibility of plasma-based intelligence—The UFO as relational event, not just object or craft—Narrative as a generative interface between psyche and field—How curiosity and myth catalyze transformation—The “Call to Adventure” in experiencer narratives—Cultural and personal shifts documented in experiencer research—The UFO as evolutionary function, seeding new myths and meaningsWhether you’re new to these ideas or steeped in the mysteries of UFOs, this episode invites you to consider the phenomenon not as something to solve, but as something to participate in—a story in which we are all co-creators.Resources & References—Robert Temple, A New Science of Heaven: https://a.co/d/9cIc6Ec—Jacques Vallée & Eric Davis, Incommensurability, Orthodoxy, and the Physics of High Strangeness: https://www.academia.edu/36788970/Incommensurability_Orthodoxy_and_the_Physics_of_High_Strangeness_A_six_layer_model_for_Anomalous_Phenomena—George Loewenstein, The Psychology of Curiosity: https://www.contrib.andrew.cmu.edu/~gl20/GeorgeLoewenstein/Papers_files/pdf/PsychofCuriosity.pdf—Will Storr, The Science of Storytelling: https://a.co/d/cC3zh0V—Stanislav & Christina Grof, Spiritual Emergency: https://a.co/d/eXFK4OC—Hernandez et al., Beyond UFOs: https://a.co/d/iv7XOtjWatch Cosmosis: UFOs & A New Reality:https://www.cosmosis.media/Join the Patreon: patreon.com/cosmosismediaSubscribe to Cosmosis:YouTube: youtube.com/@InquirywithKellyChaseSpotify: open.spotify.com/show/7KnyktIs059pbVdccD020D?si=f3835f36a8cb479dApple Podcasts: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/cosmosis-formerly-the-ufo-rabbit-hole/id1595590107Follow CosmosisX: https://x.com/cosmosis_mediaFacebook: facebook.com/share/12EEyNVPucu/?mibextid=wwXIfrInstagram: instagram.com/cosmosis.mediaListen to the Cosmosis Soundtrack by Michael Rubino:Spotify: open.spotify.com/album/5Xvs2NAHNbKjfW7hWkjqey?si=pJPPgIPsRZGkZjJh19UULQApple Music: music.apple.com/us/album/cosmosis-ufos-a-new-reality-season-one-original-soundtrack/1788465117Amazon: amazon.com/music/player/albums/B0DS5WY5CB?marketplaceId=ATVPDKIKX0DER&musicTerritory=US&ref=dm_sh_zY05XPzhLhuow5dAgK3g2W9yCTIMESTAMPS00:38 Exploring Plasma Cosmology01:22 The Significance of Plasma-Based Intelligence02:20 Introduction to the Paper: Unfurling the Myth03:25 Understanding the UFO Phenomenon04:51 The Role of Narrative in UFO Encounters06:45 Rethinking the UFO11:25 Curiosity and the Mythic Initiation15:30 Awakening the Hero Within19:57 Remaking the World Through UFO Encounters
[Cosmosis] Ep 12: Magic, Consciousness, and Anomalous Reality with Mitch Horowitz Inquiry with Kelly Chase 2025-07-30 | In this episode of Cosmosis, Jay Christopher King sits down with historian and esoteric scholar Mitch Horowitz for a wide-ranging conversation about magic, consciousness, and the anomalous. He is the author of numerous books Occult America, The Miracle Club, and Practical Magick, Mitch is a singular voice who bridges the academy, pop culture, and the esoteric underground with rare clarity and rigor.Together, they explore:The convergence between magical practice and parapsychologyRitual as an experimental interface with anomalous phenomenaThe significance of emotional investment and “skin in the game” in psi effectsChaos magic, sigils, and how to test magical practice for yourselfEthics in magic and the overlooked power of reciprocitySexual transmutation and sex magic as tools of transformationThe strange reality of retrocausality and backwards time effectsThe cultural blind spots of mainstream science and skepticismMitch’s pivotal experience editing The Super Natural with Whitley Strieber and Jeff Kripal This episode offers a powerful invitation to take magic seriously—not as superstition, but as a methodology of intention, experimentation, and meaning-making. Whether you’re a seasoned practitioner or an experiencer just starting to make sense of your reality, Mitch’s grounded, historically informed approach opens new doors.🎧 Listen if you’re curious about:—How magical frameworks might stabilize or map high-strangeness phenomena—What it means to “test” magic—and why your results might come dressed in the unexpected—How to reclaim personal agency in the face of ontological shockMore From Mitch HorowitzBooks: amazon.com/stores/Mitch-Horowitz/author/B001XSOEGO?ref=ap_rdr&isDramIntegrated=true&shoppingPortalEnabled=true&ccs_id=c66163fc-1dd8-4789-bac9-94d254393f60Substack: substack.com/@mitchhorowitzPodcast: open.spotify.com/show/0TklqBLqHGlThCrZ9yH7xr?si=e9e1b70158604b82X: https://x.com/MitchHorowitzWatch Cosmosis: UFOs & A New Reality:https://www.cosmosis.media/Donate to The Experiencer Grouppaypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=TBPJNDVY9QJFUJoin the Patreon: patreon.com/cosmosismediaSubscribe to Cosmosis:YouTube: youtube.com/@InquirywithKellyChaseSpotify: open.spotify.com/show/7KnyktIs059pbVdccD020D?si=f3835f36a8cb479dApple Podcasts: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/cosmosis-formerly-the-ufo-rabbit-hole/id1595590107Follow CosmosisX: https://x.com/cosmosis_mediaFacebook: facebook.com/share/12EEyNVPucu/?mibextid=wwXIfrInstagram: instagram.com/cosmosis.mediaListen to the Cosmosis Soundtrack by Michael Rubino:Spotify: open.spotify.com/album/5Xvs2NAHNbKjfW7hWkjqey?si=pJPPgIPsRZGkZjJh19UULQApple Music: music.apple.com/us/album/cosmosis-ufos-a-new-reality-season-one-original-soundtrack/1788465117Amazon: amazon.com/music/player/albums/B0DS5WY5CB?marketplaceId=ATVPDKIKX0DER&musicTerritory=US&ref=dm_sh_zY05XPzhLhuow5dAgK3g2W9yCTIMESTAMPS04:55 Diving into the Conversation with Mitch Horowitz05:20 Exploring the Intersection of Magic and Ufology23:01 Mitch Horowitz's Journey into Magic26:51 Ethics and Practical Magic37:08 Introduction to Sil Magic37:51 Origins and Practice of Sil Magic39:30 The Role of Climax in Sil Magic41:26 Anarchic Magic and Deity Petition43:55 Exploring Sex Magic48:48 Sex Transmutation Techniques52:19 Backwards Causation and Time01:06:10 Parapsychology and JB Rhine's Experiments01:11:19 Conclusion and Final Thoughts

[Cosmosis] UFO Narrative Wars: Weaponized Belief in the Age of Disclosure Inquiry with Kelly Chase 2025-06-20 | In this special episode of Cosmosis, Kelly Chase presents an updated version of her 2025 Contact in the Desert keynote, “UFO Narrative Wars: Weaponized Belief in the Age of Disclosure.” This talk goes beyond the surface of the UFO phenomenon to explore the hidden architecture of secrecy and the sophisticated mechanics of narrative control.Drawing from deep research into intelligence tradecraft, counterintelligence, and disinformation—along with firsthand interactions with members of the intelligence community—Kelly unpacks how belief itself becomes a weapon in the battle for truth. From psychological operations to perception management, from limited hangouts to the “secret onion” model of secrecy, this episode reveals how our search for answers is being actively shaped, steered, and contained.But this isn’t a story about villains. It’s a call to responsibility. Kelly challenges listeners to reclaim their intellectual sovereignty, resist easy answers, and build discernment in an information landscape designed to confuse. Whether you're a skeptic, experiencer, journalist, or just UFO-curious, this talk will change how you see not just the phenomenon—but the stories we tell about it.Watch Cosmosis: UFOs & A New Reality:https://www.cosmosis.media/Join the Patreon: patreon.com/cosmosismediaSubscribe to Cosmosis:YouTube: youtube.com/@InquirywithKellyChaseSpotify: open.spotify.com/show/7KnyktIs059pbVdccD020D?si=f3835f36a8cb479dApple Podcasts: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/cosmosis-formerly-the-ufo-rabbit-hole/id1595590107Follow CosmosisX: https://x.com/cosmosis_mediaFacebook: facebook.com/share/12EEyNVPucu/?mibextid=wwXIfrInstagram: instagram.com/cosmosis.mediaListen to the Cosmosis Soundtrack by Michael Rubino:Spotify: open.spotify.com/album/5Xvs2NAHNbKjfW7hWkjqey?si=pJPPgIPsRZGkZjJh19UULQApple Music: music.apple.com/us/album/cosmosis-ufos-a-new-reality-season-one-original-soundtrack/1788465117Amazon: amazon.com/music/player/albums/B0DS5WY5CB?marketplaceId=ATVPDKIKX0DER&musicTerritory=US&ref=dm_sh_zY05XPzhLhuow5dAgK3g2W9yCTIMESTAMPS02:55 The Role of Intelligence in UFO Narratives07:42 The Complexity of Secrecy and Perception Management16:08 The Secret Onion: Layers of Deception26:35 The Scale and Impact of Institutionalized Secrecy37:31 Heroes, Villains, and Controlled Opposition45:58 The Power of Sincere Belief48:10 The Hero Trap in UFO Narratives50:47 Counterintelligence and Narrative Control54:14 The 80-20 Rule in Disinformation55:49 Limited Hangouts and Perception Management01:00:54 Character Assassination and Narrative Flooding01:08:03 The Weaponization of Belief01:14:50 Reclaiming Intellectual Sovereignty

Others whisper: the Moon isn’t what we think it is.🌕 Follow for Part 9: The Earth and the Moon are genetically identical—and that shouldn’t be possible. #HollowMoon #MoonMystery #Apollo12 #NASASecrets #HighStrangeness #AltHistory #SpaceIsWeird #UFOtok #Cosmosis #ConspiracyTok #WeirdScience #QuestionEverything #HiddenInPlainSight

The Moon Is Weird AF [Pt 6]: What If The Moon… Isn’t A Moon? #moonmystery #whobuiltthemoon Inquiry with Kelly Chase 2025-05-25 | 🌗 Some scientists argue it doesn’t meet the definition. It’s too big relative to Earth. Its gravitational pull is strong enough to tug back on us.And its orbital path? It doesn’t neatly circle Earth—it moves in near-perfect synchrony with us around the Sun.Isaac Asimov even called it more of a co-planet than a satellite.

The Moon is Weird AF [Pt 5]: Total Eclipses Are [Also] Weird AF #moonmystery #solareclipse Inquiry with Kelly Chase 2025-05-25 | 🌑 Total solar eclipses are one of the strangest cosmic coincidences. The Sun is 400 times wider than the Moon—and also 400 times farther away. That’s why, from Earth, they appear exactly the same size. It’s what makes total eclipses possible, and it only works from here. Most moons don’t even orbit in a way that allows eclipses. Ours does—perfectly. Coincidence? Or something more?Follow for Part 6: Some scientists think the Moon may not be a moon at all.#SolarEclipse #PerfectAlignment #MoonMystery #Cosmosis #TheMoonIsWeird #SpaceCoincidence #HiddenInPlainSight #CelestialMechanics #HighStrangeness #AltScience #EclipseTok

[Cosmosis] Ep 6: Diana Walsh Pasulka on Levitation, Redaction, and the Ontological Shock of Contact Inquiry with Kelly Chase 2025-04-04 | In this episode of Cosmosis, we share a never-before-released talk by Dr. Diana Walsh Pasulka, recorded live at the Inquire Anomalous conference in New York City. Diana—religious studies professor and author of American Cosmic and Encounters—takes us on an astonishing journey through her research into Catholic mysticism, Vatican archives, and modern UFO contact experiences.From levitating saints and the mysterious Woman in Blue to redacted mystical narratives and the ontological shock of encountering the impossible, Diana reveals surprising links between ancient religious experiences and contemporary reports of contact with non-human intelligences. She also speaks candidly about her own transformation, the eerie resonances between the sacred and the anomalous, and her collaboration with figures like Tyler D. and Dr. Garry Nolan on the frontier of space, consciousness, and belief.This episode includes the full live Q&A with Diana—where she responds to insightful (and sometimes wild) audience questions about redaction, religious symbolism, and whether spiritual devotion might offer protection from malevolent entities.Books by Diana Walsh PasulkaAmerican Cosmic: UFOs, Religion, Technology: amzn.to/4bUc1B1Encounters: Experiences with Nonhuman Intelligences: amzn.to/3NLlsuFThe Others: UFOs, AI, and the Secret Forces Guiding Human Destiny: amzn.to/4t1ezF3🔗 Learn more about Diana’s work and online courses: dwpasulka.comWatch Cosmosis: UFOs & A New Reality:https://www.cosmosis.media/Join the Patreon: patreon.com/cosmosismediaSubscribe to Cosmosis:YouTube: youtube.com/@InquirywithKellyChaseSpotify: open.spotify.com/show/7KnyktIs059pbVdccD020D?si=f3835f36a8cb479dApple Podcasts: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/cosmosis-formerly-the-ufo-rabbit-hole/id1595590107Follow CosmosisX: https://x.com/cosmosis_mediaFacebook: facebook.com/share/12EEyNVPucu/?mibextid=wwXIfrInstagram: instagram.com/cosmosis.mediaListen to the Cosmosis Soundtrack by Michael Rubino:Spotify: open.spotify.com/album/5Xvs2NAHNbKjfW7hWkjqey?si=pJPPgIPsRZGkZjJh19UULQApple Music: music.apple.com/us/album/cosmosis-ufos-a-new-reality-season-one-original-soundtrack/1788465117Amazon: amazon.com/music/player/albums/B0DS5WY5CB?marketplaceId=ATVPDKIKX0DER&musicTerritory=US&ref=dm_sh_zY05XPzhLhuow5dAgK3g2W9yCTIMESTAMPS06:10 Exploring Ascent Narratives and UFOs08:37 Investigating Vatican Archives and Levitation12:28 Comparing Historical and Modern Phenomena21:40 Theresa of Avila's Angel Event28:42 Synchronicities and Childhood Beliefs29:39 Meeting Edward Carlos: An Experiencer's Story31:10 The Process of Redaction32:54 Historical Context and Space Programs35:30 St. Francis of Assisi's Angel Experience42:50 Q&A Session53:15 Closing Remarks and Resources
[Cosmosis] Ep 5: Beyond The Telling: Listening To & Interpreting Experiencer Narratives Inquiry with Kelly Chase 2025-03-21 | For fans of the old school deep dives from The UFO Rabbit Hole, this episode is for you. For many, the biggest challenge in engaging with UFOs, NHIs, and the anomalous isn’t a lack of evidence, but the nature of the evidence itself. The best data we have comes from experiencers—those who have directly encountered the unknown. But their stories are often so strange, so far outside of our frameworks, that even the most open-minded struggle with how to approach them.In this episode, Kelly Chase and Jay Christopher King take on this challenge head-on, exploring: 🔹 Why experiencer testimony is the most important—and most misunderstood—source of insight into the phenomenon 🔹 The impact of memory, trauma, and perception on anomalous encounters 🔹 How bias, belief systems, and cultural stigma shape the UFO narrative 🔹 The role of consciousness in contact phenomena—and why reality may be stranger than we think 🔹 How to listen to experiencer narratives with both discernment and radical opennessWe also examine cutting-edge models from Jacques Vallée, Eric Davis, Diana Pasulka, Jeffrey Kripal, James Madden, and others, to uncover new ways of understanding the impossible.This episode isn’t just about listening—it’s about learning to perceive the phenomenon in an entirely new way.Mentioned in This Episode📖 American Cosmic by Diana Walsh Pasulka – [https://a.co/d/fYxuZ2m] 📖 Unidentified Flying Hyper Object by James Madden – [https://a.co/d/iVOtkYA] 📖 The Case Against Reality by Donald Hoffman – [https://a.co/d/4yKbKNa] 📖 Hyperobjects: Philosophy and Ecology After the End of the World by Timothy Morton – [https://a.co/d/i8u1qaz] 📖 Incommensurability, Orthodoxy, and the Physics of High Strangeness by Jacques Vallée & Eric Davis – [Read here: https://www.academia.edu/36788970/Incommensurability_Orthodoxy_and_the_Physics_of_High_Strangeness_A_six_layer_model_for_Anomalous_Phenomena] 🎙️ The Experiencer Group – Support at [tegmembers.com]Support The Experiencer Group:paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=TBPJNDVY9QJFUWatch Cosmosis: UFOs & A New Reality:https://www.cosmosis.media/Join the Patreon: patreon.com/cosmosismediaSubscribe to Cosmosis:YouTube: youtube.com/@InquirywithKellyChaseSpotify: open.spotify.com/show/7KnyktIs059pbVdccD020D?si=f3835f36a8cb479dApple Podcasts: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/cosmosis-formerly-the-ufo-rabbit-hole/id1595590107Follow CosmosisX: https://x.com/cosmosis_mediaFacebook: facebook.com/share/12EEyNVPucu/?mibextid=wwXIfrInstagram: instagram.com/cosmosis.mediaListen to the Cosmosis Soundtrack by Michael Rubino:Spotify: open.spotify.com/album/5Xvs2NAHNbKjfW7hWkjqey?si=pJPPgIPsRZGkZjJh19UULQApple Music: music.apple.com/us/album/cosmosis-ufos-a-new-reality-season-one-original-soundtrack/1788465117Amazon: amazon.com/music/player/albums/B0DS5WY5CB?marketplaceId=ATVPDKIKX0DER&musicTerritory=US&ref=dm_sh_zY05XPzhLhuow5dAgK3g2W9yCTIMESTAMPS03:23 The Challenge of UFO Testimonies04:35 The Nature of Extraordinary Evidence06:31 The Complexity of Experiencer Narratives13:08 The Role of Trauma and Memory14:29 The Experiencer Group and Its Mission15:41 Subjectivity and Inconsistencies in Reports19:01 The Bigger Picture of Anomalous Experiences21:40 Philosophical Perspectives on Truth and Reality25:45 Quantum Mechanics and Anomalous Experiences28:29 Frameworks for Understanding the Phenomenon29:57 The Concept of Redaction in UFO Narratives32:44 The Nature of Redaction in UFO Testimonies34:05 Navigating Redaction in Experiencer Testimonies37:05 The Six-Layer Model of Anomalous Phenomena44:16 The Filter Thesis and Anomalous Experiences48:53 Trauma, Mental Health, and Substance Abuse in Experiencers53:55 Hyperobjects and the Nature of UFO Phenomena56:55 Semiotics and the Interpretation of Anomalous Encounters01:00:44 Conclusion: Embracing the Unknown
Supporting Experiencers & The Work That Matters Most Inquiry with Kelly Chase 2025-03-19 | If you’ve had an anomalous experience, you know how isolating it can be. It can shake your understanding of reality, leave you questioning everything, and worst of all—you often have no one to talk to about it.That’s why The Experiencer Group exists. It’s a private, supportive space where people who’ve encountered the anomalous—whether UAP, non-human intelligences, near-death experiences, precognition, or anything beyond the ordinary—can come together. It’s a community where experiencers can share openly, without fear of ridicule or exploitation.This work matters. The Experiencer Group isn’t just a support network—it’s part of shifting the broader conversation around anomalous experiences. They’re working to move these topics from stigma to inquiry, from isolation to community. And they do all of this as a pay-what-you-can organization, run by tireless volunteers who are experiencers themselves and deeply committed to serving this community.But they can’t do it alone.If you believe in safe spaces for experiencers, breaking the stigma, and creating a healthier dialogue around these phenomena, please consider donating today. Every dollar helps ensure that this work continues.🔗 Join The Experiencer Group: tegmembers.com🔗 Donate here: paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=TBPJNDVY9QJFUThank you for supporting a future where experiencers can step forward with dignity—and where we can explore these mysteries with the depth and care they deserve.
Ep 4: Whitley Strieber: Contact, Telepathy, and the Veil Between Worlds Inquiry with Kelly Chase 2025-03-14 | In this gripping continuation of our conversation with legendary author and experiencer Whitley Strieber, we venture even deeper into the nature of the Visitors—what they are, how they relate to time, and what it truly means to engage with an intelligence that exists just beyond the limits of human comprehension.This episode challenges the boundaries of our understanding as Whitley explores:🔹 The role of human consciousness in shaping contact phenomena🔹 Why the living and the dead must work together to reach the next stage of evolution🔹 The hidden reality of telepathic communication and its profound implications🔹 How social engineering and stigma have shaped the UFO narrative—and why that’s changing🔹 The military’s secret interest in experiencers and the possible manipulation of contact phenomenaWhitley also shares deeply personal insights into his own experiences, the afterlife, and the unseen forces at play in our reality. This is a conversation that demands reflection, openness, and a willingness to embrace the unknown.📖 The Fourth Mind by Whitley Strieber – https://a.co/d/3Tj8G2i📚 Them by Whitley Strieber – https://a.co/d/gqYziUQ🎥 Cosmosis: UFOs & A New Reality – Watch at Cosmosis.Media🎙️ Dreamland Podcast – Hosted by Whitley Strieber at UnknownCountry.comWatch Cosmosis: UFOs & A New Reality:https://www.cosmosis.media/Join the Patreon: patreon.com/cosmosismediaSubscribe to Cosmosis:YouTube: youtube.com/@InquirywithKellyChaseSpotify: open.spotify.com/show/7KnyktIs059pbVdccD020D?si=f3835f36a8cb479dApple Podcasts: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/cosmosis-formerly-the-ufo-rabbit-hole/id1595590107Follow CosmosisX: https://x.com/cosmosis_mediaFacebook: facebook.com/share/12EEyNVPucu/?mibextid=wwXIfrInstagram: instagram.com/cosmosis.mediaListen to the Cosmosis Soundtrack by Michael Rubino:Spotify: open.spotify.com/album/5Xvs2NAHNbKjfW7hWkjqey?si=pJPPgIPsRZGkZjJh19UULQApple Music: music.apple.com/us/album/cosmosis-ufos-a-new-reality-season-one-original-soundtrack/1788465117Amazon: amazon.com/music/player/albums/B0DS5WY5CB?marketplaceId=ATVPDKIKX0DER&musicTerritory=US&ref=dm_sh_zY05XPzhLhuow5dAgK3g2W9yCTIMESTAMPS00:00 Introduction 03:46 Clip from Cosmosis: UFOs & a New Reality05:45 The Role of Human Consciousness in Encounters06:26 Historical and Cultural Context of Encounters11:31 The Importance of Telepathy12:31 Challenges in Understanding and Acceptance13:51 Navigating Disinformation and Manipulation27:15 Personal Experiences and Integration33:02 The Stigma and Scientific Resistance53:18 Final Thoughts and Future Directions
