- Disclosure Won’t Happen — Ultraterrestrials, Control & Free Will | Nathaniel Gillis
Researcher Nathaniel Gillis returns to explain why, in his view, “the phenomenon” resists disclosure—and how it can manipulate perception, tech, and even our models of reality. We dig into an ultraterrestrial framework, alleged retaliation against investigators, and the unsettling idea that some “contact” experiences may be performative theater designed to maintain control.If this resonates, like/subscribe for more long-form conversations on UAPs, consciousness, and high-strangeness.

51 min - Astral Contact with Nonhuman Intelligences & Parallel Timelines | Michael Lee
Michael Lee returns to unpack years of out-of-body exploration: encounters with nonhuman intelligences, why many appear “humanoid,” and how a “universal translator” seems to glitch on proper names. We dive into Monroe Focus 35+, soul retrievals, the “lower astral” vs. higher planes, and how to tell dreams from true astral experiences (including the infamous astral “smell”). Michael also shares evidence for multiple time streams (including music from other timelines), “false heavens,” and a striking model of the afterlife as a layered, server-like system. We close with practical advice for beginners—lucid dreaming, strengthening your intuitive channels, and book recs (Monroe, Newton, Peterson, Moen).

47 min - AI, Lucid Dreaming & Soul Retrievals | Michael Lee
Michael Lee is a government scientist with a PhD in Physical Chemistry by day—and explores lucid dreaming, out-of-body experiences (OBEs), and soul retrievals by night. In this wide-ranging conversation, we cover how AI is transforming science (from protein design to materials and cybersecurity) and then dive deep into the astral: retrievals, lower vs. higher planes, Monroe’s Focus 27 “Park,” shape-shifting entities, and what non-human intelligences might be teaching us. We finish with practical tips for starting your own lucid-dreaming/astral practice.

51 min - The Hidden Substrate: Consciousness, UFOs & Life Beyond Earth | Chris Lehto
In this mind-bending conversation, Sean and Chris discuss whether the phenomenon is extraterrestrial, interdimensional, or part of Gaia’s own superorganism. They explore the possibility that nation-states, planets, and even galaxies may be conscious macro-organisms—and how this ties into UAP encounters, near-death experiences, and telepathy research.Chris shares how his worldview shifted after hearing David Fravor’s account of the Tic Tac UFO, and why mainstream science still refuses to confront the mysteries of consciousness, time, and the ether. If you’re fascinated by UFOs, consciousness studies, and the deeper metaphysics of reality, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.

Through A Glass Darkly is where the paranormal meets military science fiction and fact. I interview national security professionals, historians, writers, and other content creators on everything within the current cultural zeitgeist and beyond...
My four key areas of interest are: 1) geopolitics; 2) writing; 3) the paranormal, particularly where it intersects with geopolitics and national security; and 4) my journey using this channel and other revenue streams to become financially independent within five years (i.e., by the end of 2026).
