made a bunch of money inventing and selling medical implant devices like he just engineered this stuff on his own with no formal training and sold all of these medical devices to um big companies but he also wrote this book stalking the wild pendulum which is like an all-encompassing thesis on what reality is and it it is very much seems to be inspired by like ancient it's kind of like the Gateway um philosophy in and of itself in that it
you can definitely tell that it's got like ancient wisdom and understandings of what reality is all throughout it yet Bob Monroe tried to remove any kind of Dogma any kind of um associations with any particular group or particular lineage from it because he didn't want to he didn't want it to have baggage like he really wanted it to be um modernized and not thought of as a religion but as like a science as something you could really experience
and verify for yourself and that seems to be the same disposition as this itsok bentov guy who like I said clearly inspired by ancient stuff but he goes deep into scientific theories you know everything from like black holes and quantum physics and holographic Universe you know he goes over all of these ideas that are Cutting Edge especially for the time he wrote this book which I think was in the 70s or maybe maybe early 80s I'd have to double
check and then there's the added layer of he died under really weird mysterious circumstances like he died di in a plane crash and you know on his way to to do something that sounds very like oh maybe somebody didn't want him to do that you know like give give some talk or give some um briefing or something like that so yeah there's this interesting whole philosophical movement that's occurring around this time you know with
people like Monroe this McDonald guy who wrote this report with itso bentov where understanding about reality that is slowly unfolding that really harmonizes ancient wisdom and cuttingedge Science and then it and then it seems like it I don't know maybe this is just my reading and because I like you know am turned on by conspiracy theories but it really seems like this is actively squelched by the scientific mainstream
in a lot of ways and it's only more recently starting to come to light now like with our generation um but maybe that's just my my uh my bias or something I do think that there is this and again you know throw around these these terms that are kind of cliche but like this fundamental shift in human consciousness like what is the next step of human evolution um I just I I see that we are at this kind of inflection point where things are going to either I
think drop drastically horrible and kind of this self destructive path or we can turn to a a better way and I guess like I mean not to try to sound like a all Savior and everything but like that that's ultimately the message that I'm trying to share with people is that listen there is there is a better way um because I I used to dwell quite a bit in the dark nasty Funk of you know suicidal thoughts and depression anxiety stress
blaming other people hatred disconnection all of that type of [ __ ] and um coming on the other side of it seeing what what love and connection and gratitude and joy and all of that you know can can bring uh I think there is this kind of ancient struggle like that that truly that kind of light first dot good work birth evil um you know whether it be an Armageddon or apocalypse or and again it ties into the all of the
ancient stuff that we all love and and study where they talk about this type of stuff and they talk about it pretty matter factly not you know there is some allegories and there are some some stories but um I think ancient people very clearly knew that they could tap into something higher that there were other other beings out there and um I really think that that's happening now what that means and how do we say what that means without sounding batshit
crazy uh like my girlfriend you know left this morning we were sitting on the bed talking and and there's just so much weird [ __ ] that's going down in our lives personally with aliens with DMT entities with all this crazy [ __ ] and it's like is this like this is really like we really think this is happening that we really think this is what's going down and the answer is honestly and truly yes um and it's like what does
that mean I just I think the next five to 10 or whatever it's gonna few years are going to be very interesting I think so too man yeah I mean it's just really really zooming out you know taking out any assumptions I think if you took a 10,000 foot view of the human psyche of what's going on in the world I would have a very hard time dismissing the idea that something else is making itself known something else is like slowly seeping into human
awareness and we are struggling collectively to understand what that is figure out how to contextualize that in our lives and just to to to completely complicate this and and just throw an unanswerable question out there because it's just so [ __ ] fun to talk about and speculate about is the relationship between you know like what in that report they call non-corporeal uh energy forms or extraterrestrials do you have a strong
feeling on what you think the relationship between those things is do you think they're all the same thing or do you think they're all you know uh unique things in and of themselves like yes there are real physical aliens from another planet out there or know they're Consciousness based or where's your head on oh I would thr you know throwing ghosts in there Spirits in there maybe even like Cryptids bigfoots uh you know all of that type of stuff
throw it all in throw it all in so I my kind of take on it is um I think we have we are way more than our human five senses and I think psychedelics prove that to me very clearly and there are other states whether it be people that are in lucid dream states um deep meditation um people have like epileptic LOB epileptic lobe seizures um you know they have all of these different crazy Visions what I think what it is is that our brain and
this is kind of Al this huxley's reducing valve um kind of theory is that I really think we filter out so much of the information that vibratory information that constantly surrounds us that when we can find ways to hone our antenna or uh you know add different layers or complexities to how we receive that energy and information um you just get exposed OS to that much more so instead of having your normal five senses dialed up to 10 you know when
you're on psychedelics they're dialed up to a 100 or a million uh but then you also have 5 10 15 20 other senses that you know that's what I I don't think we have terms to describe what they are and that's kind of the point is we're getting informational inputs in a way other than our normal five senses that somehow land and stick um and obviously to are able to convey that information um and I I think once we are able to get
into that elevated state or receive different levels of spectrum of energy you're exposed to that much more so um yeah I I think you can see spirits and ghosts once you're refined to it I think aliens do present themselves to the people um you know like the the Cris bled SS that clearly are tapped into something um you know whether it be trauma induced whether it be psychedelic induced you know that there's a a lot of
ways uh like near-death experience people that have come back from Comas or from being drowned and stuff like that something makes their antenna more refined for me I know it was I fried the [ __ ] out of it with DMT and shrooms and because I needed to I mean I really needed to completely reset my antenna but now that it is like that um I know that I can receive more information Than Just My Five Senses and I think too once
you've experienced what it feels like to get DNA downloads or to get inputs of you know a software upgrade or all these these ways that people say that that they're getting information um or that they're interacting with these entities that doesn't just leave you when you're not in that heightened State and I think that's that's where pted like this integration all like now what do you do with all this profound information how do you how do you put it
in a context where it doesn't drive you nuts and actually use it in a in a way that you know is positive and I now walk around everyone you know in in a normal walking State knowing that at any moment I can receive different information and uh it's an exciting way to live because I I know I'm way more than just my my physical body and way more than my My Five Senses and I think that now is kind of like not being disputed you know
there's so many people with all these extra sensory perceptions and everybody is kind of unique and magical in their own way but to say that we're just these five senses I don't think that can be said with a straight face anymore because there's too many people with personal stories to say no I saw the ghost I saw the alien uh I interact with the DMT entity I you know and I'm one of those people and I can say it it they there because I also know what
clearly is a [ __ ] up dream I know what hallucinations are I or I know you know I know when my mind's playing tricks on me but then I also know when oh [ __ ] like I'm viscerally interacting with another being and uh know in some cases it truly changes lives it saves lives so the information is real that's a really important distinction because I think that there are you know I I don't I don't at all discount the mass of
stories but you also have to know that you didn't live their experience and you don't know how you would have interpreted that experience so again I come back to this prove it to yourself have the experience for yourself I don't care what methodology you use I don't care if you start doing meditating doing Gateway experimenting with psychoactive stuff there are ways to experience this so if you're one of those people who you
you find that your intellect it just keeps getting in the way and you keep feeling like there's not enough evidence for that I don't say that that you know how do you know spend a weekend with me yeah exactly just shut up and start trying things like open your mind at least to the idea that maybe what Adam is saying here has something to it and that's how it starts start understanding that your Consciousness and I'm already sabotaging
Myself by saying start understanding it because it's not an intellectual thing it's something you actually learn through experience or at least culminates in you having an experience because I love the stories dude I on my desk right now in front of me I have a book about yung's Visionary experiences I have a book about theor I have yung's r book behind me I clearly I love [ __ ] stories right but that's why I value the experience I had at
Monroe so much is because it was not intellectual it was absolutely experience-based and I do think T like increasing your in the perimeter of your information and your Concepts helps you contextualize and understand those experiences better helps you have the ability to apply different lenses to those experien is right because if you only have one lens like let's say you only have the judeo Christian lens or something well
how are you going to interpret any kind of experience beyond the normal then you're going to try to funnel it into that now if you have 50 or however many it really broadens The Horizon of what you can even possibly conceive of right and that's like um McKenna has this crazy idea that still blows my mind when I think about it that until there's language for something your ability to conceptualize it as a human doesn't quite exist yet
