Drawing on the esoteric, depth psychology, mythology, and the work of Carl Jung, Harpur argues that modern materialism flattened the paranormal by forcing it into a false choice: either literal and physical, or imaginary and unreal. In doing so, we lost touch with an older, truer framework. A mode of reality in which encounters are symbolic, intelligent, and transformative without being reducible to hallucination or materialism.

Harpur refers to it as the daimonic realm, a middle world between mind and matter. A dimension where meaning takes form, myths are born, and the phenomenon adapts its appearance to the culture encountering it.

We discuss why UFOs often behave more like myths than machines, how religious visions and entity encounters overlap across history, and why attempts to literalize the phenomenon may be missing its true nature, the alchemical initiation process of life itself and the mysterious figure known as Mercurius.
