Neon Galactic with James Faulk episodes:

August 07, 2024 Paul Hynek -- Neon Galactic -- Episode 46
On this episode of Neon Galactic, we sit down with ufological royalty -- Paul Hynek, son of legendary ufologist J. Allen Hynek, who joins us to talk about his father's legacy, his experiences with DMT, his thoughts on the nature and intent of non-human intelligences, and how AI represents both an opportunity and a threat to the human species.

Hynek is an entrepreneur and futurist, a transhumanist and movie producer. He has an MBA from Wharton, and works as an adjunct professor of finance and accounting at Pepperdine University.

In addition to fostering the genesis and growth of thousands of software and tech start-ups, he’s been instrumental in the making of such films as Avatar, Lord of the Rings, Planet of the Apes, Tintin, Real Steel, Warcraft, and The Hobbit, as well as the video games Halo and Call of Duty.

His interests seem to include both the woo aspects of ufology, how the phenomenon may include and intersect with metaphysical notions of being and existence, as well as a robust and practical interest in the technology.

We discuss Hynek's belief that humans will eventually upload their consciousness into computers and thereby achieve immortality, as well as the mechanisms that could make that possible.

We also discuss Hynek's role in a company that's seeking to extend human life, and how his interest in the company came about through his own participation in early trials.

Hynek also describes his other passion -- Bitcoin and blockchain technology -- and how humanity's discovery and use of that tech may have been the trigger that ignited humanity's apparently ongoing contact experience with NHI. Hynek believes that NHI to be post biological.

August 07, 2024 Dr. Stephen Finley -- Neon Galactic -- Episode 45
On this episode of Neon Galactic, we interview Dr. Stephen Finley from
Louisiana State University about the complexities of race and the
UFO/UAP/NHI phenomenon.
Finley studied at Rice University under Jeffrey Kripal, and offers a
challenging yet vitally important perspective into how anomalous
experiences manifest to the African American community, and how they
read and interpret the various themes and details presented by NHI.
We discuss the notion that the UFO subject appeals mostly to white
people, an argument he demolishes. Finley lists several prominent black
experiencers, while also outlining how these experiences differ from
stereotyped contact and what those difference might mean.
We also discuss the white supremacist origins of some UFO lore, through
William Dudley Pelley, George Adamski and others, and how that
connection can present barriers to people of color looking to engage
with the topic.
We consider the relationship between the African American community and
the U.S. Government -- a continuum of mistreatment stretching from
experimentation and 3/5ths personhood to the prison industrial complex
and Cointelpro -- and how that history might complicate notions of
governmental disclosure.
While the phenomenon seems to be pushing humanity to recognize and
consider different ways of learning and knowing, it's precisely those
ways of knowing that have been obfuscated and ignored by a broader white
and materialist culture.

August 07, 2024 Whitley Strieber -- Neon Galactic -- Episode 44
In this series of Neon Galactic interviews, KEET-TV attended the 2024
Contact in the Desert event in Indian Wells, CA, to chat with several
folks who represent the leading edge of radical thinking in the subjects
of artificial intelligence, NHI, UFOs, and more.
This is Part IV, the final installment of four interviews conducted at
the event, which was held between May 30 and June 3 of 2024.
Ever since his encounter with The Visitors in 1985, Whitley Strieber has
become a kind of Rorschach Test for how people view reality.
His bestselling book, “Communion,” exploded on the scene in the later
1980s, and the appearance of that alien mugshot on the cover touched
something deep inside people, spurring an outpouring of letters and
stories that are even now proving themselves vitally important as part
of Rice University’s Archive of the Impossible.
While many may have initially laughed at Strieber’s story, especially as
it later became a low-brow cable TV punchline, he never wavered in
describing what he perceived as the truth of his experience, and indeed,
has continued to invite people along to read about his many encounters
and experiences so that together we could explore what it all means for
humanity, and the world. He’s published a number of books on the
subject, and remained open and transparent even as the ridicule
ultimately led to him losing a home and a successful career writing
horror novels.
And for many fellow experiencers, Strieber’s account offered them
opportunity and support to come forward with their own stories and begin
the slow process of healing.
He’s never claimed to know precisely what it was he experienced, or what
it may mean about reality, aliens, science, or the dead. He chooses
instead to simply take his and other experiencers’ stories seriously,
leaving them on the table for analysis and insight, while making sure to
avoid easy explanations and convenient generalities.
In this conversation, we discuss Strieber’s life, his experiences, and
how his loving relationship with his deceased wife Anne shaped his life,
his career, and his thinking – perhaps even more so after her death.
Above all, here we get a sense of the profound love and respect Strieber
had for her and vice versa. A love affair that spans the cosmos.
We also talk about his upcoming book, and what aspects of the phenomenon
it will cover.
We discuss how Strieber’s interest in spirituality – G.I. Gurdjieff and
P.D. Ouspensky, in particular – may have sparked his initial contact.
Like many in the dialogue surrounding UFOs and NHI, Strieber senses
something big in the offing for the human race, and we discuss how
individual people can work on themselves to help ensure that their
individuality – in the occult sense – survives dissolution after death.

August 07, 2024 Kelly Chase and Jay Christopher King -- Neon Galactic -- Episode 43
In this series of Neon Galactic interviews, KEET-TV attended the 2024
Contact in the Desert event in Indian Wells, CA, to chat with several
folks who represent the leading edge of radical thinking in the subjects
of artificial intelligence, NHI, UFOs, and more.
This is Part III of four interviews conducted at the event, which was
held between May 30 and June 3 of 2024.
Anyone who is paying attention to the UFO/UAP/NHI conversation these
days will be familiar with the work of Jay Christopher King from The
Experiencer Group and Kelly Chase from The UFO Rabbit Hole Podcast.
They have become prominent in the community and in the surrounding
discussion because of their passion, their intelligence, and their
curiosity, and for helping to place the UFO issue front and center in a
world largely distracted by materialism.
Partnering up with Jordan Flowers, the pair formed Ontocalypse
Productions, which premiered its debut series pilot at this year's
Contact in the Desert.
In this conversation, we discuss the process of making "The Beyond: UFOs
and a New Reality," and how important it is to rethink who and what we
are as a species given the neglected reality of UFOs, NHI, and sundry.
We also discuss the role of UFO conferences such as CITD, and how toxic
online troll culture has at times hampered the discussion of these ideas
on social media.
Chase and King also point out that supporting folks who've had anomalous
experiences is key to promoting disclosure and helping people process
those events.

August 07, 2024 Anthony Peake -- Neon Galactic -- Episode 42
In this series of Neon Galactic interviews, KEET-TV attended the 2024
Contact in the Desert event in Indian Wells, CA, to chat with several
folks who represent the leading edge of radical thinking in the subjects
of artificial intelligence, NHI, UFOs, and more.
This is Part II of four interviews conducted at the event, which was
held between May 30 and June 3 of 2024.
Anthony Peake has written a number of books dealing with a range of
topics that challenge preconceived and materialistic notions of reality.
His wide expertise and deep thinking merge concepts and details from a
number of sources to produce a uniquely pragmatic and sensible approach
to the existential questions and conundrums facing humanity.
With early sources and influences ranging from "The Sky People" by
Brinsley Le Poer Trench and British series "Man Myth and Magic," to
Jacques Vallee’s "Passport to Magonia" and John Keel’s "Operation Trojan
Horse," Peake from the beginning was an avid intellectual explorer who
sought to push boundaries and make sense of the universe.
While his early career focused on economics, the sociology of religion,
and Italian Renaissance art, by the year 2000 he’d decided to focus on
putting much of what he’d learned and come to believe into book form, in
what later became his first volume, “Cheating the Ferryman.” It was a
distillation of all his areas of interest, quantum physics, neurology,
ancient myths, altered-states of consciousness and the mystery of death.

Thanks to the help of Professor Bruce Greyson of the University of
Virginia, an article based upon Peake’s “Cheating the Ferryman”
hypothesis was to appear in the Winter 2004 edition of the Journal of
Near-Death Studies, the academic periodical of the International
Association of Near-Death Studies (IANDS). A few months later, in early
2005, British publishing house Arcturus bought the rights to the book
and, a year later, and after a substantial re-write, it was published
as, “Is There Life After Death – The Extraordinary Science of What
Happens When We Die.”
More than 60,000 copies have since been sold, and the volume has been
translated into various foreign language editions including Spanish,
Russian and Polish.
In this conversation, we discuss Peake’s notions of the human soul and
how every conscious being has two abiding centers of identity within, a
daemon that represents the being’s higher self – which transcends and
unites our earthly incarnations – and an avatar-like personality that is
bound to only one life cycle.
We also discuss Peake’s conception of reincarnation, and the presence in
this universe of egregorials, creations of consciousness that over time
can gain the autonomy and power to manifest independently of their
creators. The tulpa-like entities could, according to Peake, potentially
explain everything from UFOs and poltergeists to fairies and even some
cryptids

August 07, 2024 Roots To Thrive -- Neon Galactic -- Episode 40
In this episode of Neon Galactic, co-host Dr. Chris Avis and I interview
Dr. Pamela Kryskow and Graham Walker from Roots To Thrive, an
innovative Canadian therapy program that deploys visionary psychedelic
medicine to address a range of ailments.
According to its website, Roots To Thrive describes itself as a living
curriculum that is designed to reconnect humanity to its true nature, to
each other, and to all that is.
“From this secure and embodied place, we remember who we are, the
abundance of resources around us, and our innate capacity for healing,”
it reads.
The organization was founded in 2019, and is Canada’s first and only
multidisciplinary, non-profit health care practice to legally offer
evidence-informed, multi-week, group therapy programs that use a
community of practice model, uniquely designed to address trauma and to
promote resilience, and to also include the option of
psilocybin-assisted and ketamine-assisted individual and group therapy.
In this conversation, we discuss the transformative power of psychedelic
treatments and how the organization unites those experiences with an
enlivened sense of community and ritual to heal people.
Such visionary experiences and related group work helps participants
transcend the limits and isolation of most modern lifestyles and find a
deeper sense of meaning and connectedness. People often reset themselves
and become more open to the possibilities of spirit and community.
Dr. Christopher Avis is a physics instructor and climatologist from
Camosun College in British Columbia, who had his worldview transformed
after taking ketamine as part of a treatment program for depression at
Roots To Thrive.
Pamela Kryskow is a medical doctor with an extensive CV surrounding
psychedelic research and treatment. She is the medical lead for the
Roots To Thrive program, and founding board member of the Psychedelic
Association of Canada and the medical chair of the Vancouver Island
University Post Graduate Certificate in Psychedelic Medicine assisted
Therapy.
Graham Walker is a clinical counselor and the Roots To Thrive alumni
facilitator.

August 07, 2024 Marco Visconti -- Neon Galactic -- Episode 39
In this episode, we interview Italian author, occultist and teacher
Marco Visconti about the nature of magick, the universe, and the
efficacy of spiritual technologies.
Visconti is an expert in the field of occult studies and magic, focusing
on Alistair Crowley's Thelema, and we discuss his recent book, "The
Aleister Crowley Manual: Thelemic Magick for Modern Times," as well as
the difficulty finding good spiritual teachers in an age dominated by
materialism and reductivity.
Visconti has made a career out of bringing folks into the magickal fold
and helping them develop their super rational talents.
He has been initiated into Argenteum Astrum and Ordo Templi Orientis,
although he is no longer a member of the latter organization. He
describes the nature of such associations, and the difficulties inherent
in such collective pursuits.
He also describes his work on a new book, focusing on the nature of the
Holy Guardian Angel in Thelemic rites and traditions.
We also discuss the UFO/UAP/NHI phenomenon and how they relate to the
LAM/AIWASS personalities encountered by Crowley, as well as the rather
widespread misapprehension that the pursuit of magick is an inherently
selfish endeavor.

August 07, 2024 Robin Lassiter -- Neon Galactic -- Episode 38
Author, experiencer, and host of her own podcast, Earth: A Love Story,
Robin Lassiter in this interview shares her wisdom and insight
surrounding the presence and nature of non-human intelligences and their
seemingly deep interest in human affairs.
We focus on her book, Earth: A Love Story, a powerfully told memoir of
magic, suffering, addiction, family, mother nature, identity formation,
and spiritual becoming that unfolds amid the presence of other
intelligences and seemingly discarnate beings.
From the Colorado mountains to California and beyond, the book describes
how Lassiter experienced the mythic potential of the world from an
early age, and how that sensitivity to life and pain and possibility
would later both cause her trouble and save her life.
Lassiter says her contact experiences have led her to expect an
impending shift in reality, a phase change, and that a deep and internal
alarm clock seems to be sounding within each of us, a species memory of
other times and calamities when the future was uncertain. The nature of
this crisis remains unclear, but she believes it will be an upheaval,
and to survive and thrive in the face of such dramatic change will
require a greater empathic connection between humans, the ecosystem, and
the planet.

August 07, 2024 Dr. Jack Hunter -- Neon Galactic -- Episode 37
Due to a tenuous ZOOM connection, the video in this episode is
occasionally glitchy, but the conversation was so fascinating and
important I posted it anyway. The discussion is clear and intelligible.
In this chat, Dr. Jack Hunter and I discuss the nature of the
paranormal, and the ways in which Academia has embraced the topic, and
the ways in which it has failed to engaged with its more challenging
aspects.
Through the lens of such disciplines as ecology and anthropology, a
coherent understanding of the paranormal is possible if difficult to pin
down.
Hunter has made a career out of engaging with these topics, and in
refusing to be reductive about the complexities involved. His recent
book, "Deep Weird," focuses in particular on those occurrences that fall
outside mainstream categories by virtue of their strangeness.
Hunter argues that it's that complexity that can likely tell us the most
about what we're encountering. All aspects should be embraced and
analyzed, not ignored or ridiculed according to operative prejudices and
intellectual laziness.
We explore his experiences with the spiritual realm through early
research around spiritualists and mediums, events that challenged his
world view and pushed him into a process of what he calls "ontological
flooding," where the possible explanations for various phenomenon
multiply and refuse simple or trite resolutions.
This straddling of ontologies and explanations is one key to gaining a
global perspective, he believes.
Hunter is known for exploring the borderlands of consciousness,
religion, ecology and the paranormal.
He is an Honorary Research Fellow with the Alister Hardy Religious
Experience Research Center, and a tutor with the Sophia Center for the
Study of Cosmology in Culture, University of Wales Trinity St David.
