Neon Galactic with James Faulk

In this episode, cohost David Stuss and I interview retired University of Arizona professor and anesthesiologist Stuart Hameroff about the Orchestrated Objective Reduction theory of consciousness and what it may say about the development of life and consciousness in the universe.The ORCH-OR theory, by Hameroff and physicist Roger Penrose, proposes that consciousness occurs with quantum wave function collapse, and that in the human brain, this process occurs predominantly in the microtubule structures that exist within neurons.Hameroff in this interview explains the genesis of this theory, the proof so far accumulated, and explains how ORCH-OR compares to other theories.Consciousness precedes life, Hameroff argues, perhaps even providing the motivation for its development.Hameroff also explains how the theory provides a basis for many anomalies that remain otherwise unexplained, such as near-death experiences, psi phenomena, and sundry.Hameroff also takes on many of his critics, and addresses several oft-repeated arguments against ORCH-OR, including the idea that the brain is too warm and wet to host quantum processes.—--------------------------- Music Credits: Music: Cinematic Logo 04 by TaigaSoundProd Free download: https://filmmusic.io/song/8221-cinematic-logo-04 Licensed under CC BY 4.0: https://filmmusic.io/standard-license Music: Technology Calm Logo 01 by TaigaSoundProd Free download: https://filmmusic.io/song/6660-technology-calm-logo-01 Licensed under CC BY 4.0: https://filmmusic.io/standard-license --- Help keep these videos coming, and James fed, by joining our Patreon: www.patreon.com/neongalactic Please don’t forget to like and subscribe.

In this interview, I sit down with long-time disclosure advocate, peace activist and educator Jim Garrison to discuss the upcoming State of the World 2025 Forum.The purpose of the virtual forum is to help humanity navigate this complex moment when four different intelligences are emerging in society. Both opportunities and dangers present themselves, and Garrison's mission is to help the world come to terms with this circumstance and find a new way forward. In the 1990s, Garrison established the State of the World Forum with former Soviet Premier Mikhail Gorbachev. The event ran once a year over five years, and Garrison plans on keeping the same timeline with this new endeavor. Speakers at the event will include Karl Nell, Jake Barber, Ross Coulthart, Anne Poelina, Chris Bledsoe, Rupert Sheldrake, Beatriz Villarroel, Diane Hennacy Powell, Avi Loeb, Robert Salas, Birdie Jaworski, Sarah Gamm, Arvol Looking Horse, Deep Prashad, and Anna Brady-Estevez, among many others.

On this episode, I interview long-time seeker, author, and interviewer Alan Steinfeld about his career, his experiences with numinosity, reality, and what it all says about living a good human life on planet Earth. Steinfeld is the long-time host of the New York-based television program, New Realities, which he has since turned into a popular YouTube Channel.In a wide-ranging and passionate discussion, we cover Steinfeld's entry into the field of strangeness, and how his early photography helped him to develop a worldview that embraces cosmic possibilities. We talk about UFOs and their connection to the human spirit; Australian aboriginal Dream Time and the initiation he received into that tradition; remote viewing, and how such skills link back to human divinity. Steinfeld is a founder of the Contact in the Desert UFO conference, the largest in the world, as well as the author of "Making Contact: Preparing for the New Realities of Extraterrestrial Existence."Over the course of decades hosting New Realities, Steinfeld has interviewed hundreds of experts, experiencers, philosophers, scientists, and sundry. This experience has helped him to develop a broad and adventurous ontological vocabulary that connects back to several core spiritual themes that have come up again and again throughout human history. https://youtube.com/@newrealities?si=kgsbLd5pQJ78QJuKwww.newrealities.comhttps://www.amazon.com/Making-Contact-Preparing-Realities-Extraterrestrial-ebook/dp/B08FZBFQPF-----------------Music Credits:Music: Cinematic Logo 04 by TaigaSoundProdFree download: https://filmmusic.io/song/8221-cinematic-logo-04Licensed under CC BY 4.0: https://filmmusic.io/standard-licenseMusic: Technology Calm Logo 01 by TaigaSoundProdFree download: https://filmmusic.io/song/6660-technology-calm-logo-01Licensed under CC BY 4.0: https://filmmusic.io/standard-license---------------------Join our Patreon and help us keep the conversation alive:www.patreon.com/neongalacticOn X:@jfrickingfaulk@alan_steinfeld#psi #dreamtime #paranormal #occult #NDE #extraterrestrial #alien #conspiracy #esp #psi #UAP #UFO #space #magic #occult #trauma #consciousness #phenomenon #contactinthedesert

In this conversation, co-host David Stuss and I discuss the science and methodology of astrology with Dan Waites, host of the World Astrology Report channel on YouTube.We explore how astrology is much more nuanced and complicated than most believe, a long-running human endeavor that has guided leaders' decisions and shaped the fates of nations for millennia. We discuss various theories around its efficacy, and what must be true for this arcane system to work. Waites also reveals his origin story, and how this pursuit has given meaning and purpose to his professional life.Through the lens of astrology, we examine the UFO phenomenon, and what he finds in his charts about the future of human contact with non-human intelligence.Waites points out that he arrived at the 2027 date for increased UFO activity and a shift in the dialogue around UAPs and NHI long before it became a meme of former intelligence officials. He explains why that year is important, what planetary influences may be at root, and how 2027 fits in with the past 130 years of reported visitors from the sky, including the mysterious airships spotted in the 1890s, as well as the tic-tacs and lenticular craft of the present day.To learn more:www.youtube.com/worldastrologyreportworldastrologyreport.comworldastrologyreport.substack.com -----------------------Music Credits:Music: Cinematic Logo 04 by TaigaSoundProdFree download: https://filmmusic.io/song/8221-cinematic-logo-04Licensed under CC BY 4.0: https://filmmusic.io/standard-licenseMusic: Technology Calm Logo 01 by TaigaSoundProdFree download: https://filmmusic.io/song/6660-technology-calm-logo-01Licensed under CC BY 4.0: https://filmmusic.io/standard-license---Please don’t forget to like and subscribe.

On this episode, co-host David Stuss and I interview writer and thinker Patrick Harpur about the daimonic dimension, visionary experience, and the human soul's sense of exile.We discuss Harpur's book, "The Daimonic Reality: A Field Guide to the Otherworld,” as well as several his other volumes dealing with numinous human experience, initiation, the soul tradition, and how this all fits within the framework advanced by Harpur.“The Daimonic Reality" is a foundational text, one that embraces the complexity of human encounters with The Other and draws stark parallels between various kinds of extraordinary experiences and the lessons they teach.We also discuss the often described evolution of human consciousness, and if it's a real thing or a chimera.We explore how daimonic encounters often function as initiations that send percipients down the rabbit hole of related topics and phenomenologies, resulting in a dramatic shift of worldview.Harpur describes the experiences of Carl Jung with daimonic entities, and how such energies compare with Jung's notion of archetypes.Finally, we discuss how adopting an open-minded consideration of such things can enrich one's life and help our species reclaim its lost sense of wonder.To buy Harpur's books on Amazon:https://a.co/d/hN3PYdTFollow us on Spotify or wherever you get these damn things.--------------------------------Music Credits:Music: Cinematic Logo 04 by TaigaSoundProdFree download: https://filmmusic.io/song/8221-cinematic-logo-04Licensed under CC BY 4.0: https://filmmusic.io/standard-licenseMusic: Technology Calm Logo 01 by TaigaSoundProdFree download: https://filmmusic.io/song/6660-technology-calm-logo-01Licensed under CC BY 4.0: https://filmmusic.io/standard-license—-Please don’t forget to follow, like, and subscribe.

***If you like this content, please follow this podcast. We need your support***On this episode, I interview my favorite remote viewer Birdie Jaworski, who just recently posted an astonishing session she conducted on the 3i/Atlas comet, with surprising results.Jaworski is a long-time remote viewer, experiencer, ufologist, and author who’s TransdimensionalMapping RV technique combines some old school methodologies with full-body, viscerally physical innovations.In her recent posting, Jaworski examines the extra-solar body 3i/Atlas and declares it natural, with some strange technologies attached that appear to be a kind of message in a bottle.Called by the world a comet, this extra-solar body now crossing through our solar system presents some fascinating anomalies that bely easy categorization and have prompted some — like Harvard Astronomer Avi Loeb — to consider an extraterrestrial origin.The reading was held in late August, and was performed blind — Jaworski had no information on the nature and circumstance of her tasked objective.To view Jaworski’s readings, visit her YouTube page:www.youtube.com/@norivetsShe will be posting several follow-up sessions over the coming days. Please do check them out.In addition to her RV work, Jaworski has founded a UFO research and activism group in Albuquerque, NM — ABQ UFOs — and is a leader in the fight for disclosure.To learn more about Birdie, take one of her classes, or read her book:www.norivets.comNote: The drones recently seen in Europe have been spotted over Denmark, Norway, and Germany. I mentioned Sweden in an offhand way.

On this episode, I sit down with Israeli Torah teacher and podcaster Yoni Shadmy to discuss how an orb UFO -- interpreted by its percipient Maoz Inon as an angel of peace -- manifested after Inon's parents were both killed by Hamas on October 7, 2023. It urged him to seek a peaceful end to the Gaza War.In on has since taken extraordinary steps to stop the violence, meeting with the pope and even stopping an arms shipment to Israel.Shadmy is the host of The Second Temple podcast, conducted in Hebrew. We discuss the power of myth to shape lives and help people address the deep sense of exile that plagues humanity, and the Jewish people in particular.Shadmy says a small group of Israeli leaders are exploiting that fact in this political moment to perpetuate war. This UFO sighting by Inon may provide a key for doing the opposite.If interested in viewing Shadmy’s interview with Inon, you can use YouTube desktop (not on mobile) to turn on auto-translated subtitles.There's a discussion of the orb encounter in the beginning and all along the conversation, and a more detailed discussion begins at 16:49 at this link:https://youtu.be/FyYi7po9qiU?si=8UwsJuFCWWfgrJGzWe also discuss Kabbalah, Jewish history, and the importance of spiritual development..---------------------Music Credits:Music: Cinematic Logo 04 by TaigaSoundProdFree download: https://filmmusic.io/song/8221-cinematic-logo-04Licensed under CC BY 4.0: https://filmmusic.io/standard-licenseMusic: Technology Calm Logo 01 by TaigaSoundProdFree download: https://filmmusic.io/song/6660-technology-calm-logo-01Licensed under CC BY 4.0: https://filmmusic.io/standard-licensePlease don’t forget to like and subscribe.

On this episode, author and investigative journalist Nick Cook comes back on the show to discuss the completion of his new, serialized book on consciousness and the UAP phenomenon, “The Light Beyond the Mountain.”The book, published on Cook’s Substack “Rogue Icons,” analyzes the UAP hydra from the perspectives of technology and consciousness, coming to a number of startling conclusions that synthesize much of the leading edge thinking around UFOs and human cognition.Cook is the author of several books, most notably “The Hunt for Zero Point,” which examines the clandestine development of anti-gravitic technology.Through a detailed review of research from Donald Hoffman, Ingo Swann, Philip K. Dick, Robert Bigelow, Edgar Mitchell, Jacques Vallee, Kit Green, Garry Nolan, M. Teoradani, and many others, Cook demonstrates how UFOs and other anomalous phenomena are connected to our perceptual systems and how they relate to deeper level reality.The book, to my mind, represents major progress in UAP research, consciousness studies, information theory, and the simulation hypothesis.Cook in this interview breaks down many of his major insights, and describes how his life has prepared him with precisely the expertise needed to address these subjects.To subscribe to Cook’s Substack and read the book:https://open.substack.com/pub/nickcook?r=1fir1&utm_medium=iosPurchase his other books here:https://www.amazon.com/stores/Nick-Cook/author/B001HCYOUM?ref=ap_rdr&isDramIntegrated=true&shoppingPortalEnabled=true———————-Music Credits:Music: Cinematic Logo 04 by TaigaSoundProdFree download: https://filmmusic.io/song/8221-cinematic-logo-04Licensed under CC BY 4.0: https://filmmusic.io/standard-licenseMusic: Technology Calm Logo 01 by TaigaSoundProdFree download: https://filmmusic.io/song/6660-technology-calm-logo-01Licensed under CC BY 4.0: https://filmmusic.io/standard-license—————-Join the conversation and support this important channel:www.patreon.com/neongalacticPlease don’t forget to like and subscribe. On X:@jfrickingfaulk@iamnickcook#neongalactic #nickcook #UAP #lightbeyondthemountains #space #aliens #ufo #consciousness #UAPphenomenon #JanesDefenceWeekly

On this bonus episode of Neon Galactic, James Faulk lays out his best case for why he's doing this show, and why these anomalous subjects matter.Materialism and the western scientific world view have blinded us to the possibilities of existence. They've given us much, but they've also taken away.How do we go about transforming how we view the world before we destroy it? —---------------------------Music Credits:Music: Cinematic Logo 04 by TaigaSoundProdFree download: https://filmmusic.io/song/8221-cinematic-logo-04Licensed under CC BY 4.0: https://filmmusic.io/standard-licenseMusic: Technology Calm Logo 01 by TaigaSoundProdFree download: https://filmmusic.io/song/6660-technology-calm-logo-01Licensed under CC BY 4.0: https://filmmusic.io/standard-license---Join us now on Patreon:www.patreon.com/neongalacticPlease don’t forget to like and subscribe.

On this episode of Neon Galactic, we sit down with Kimberly Engels, a member of the Society for UAP Studies, an associate professor of philosophy at Molloy University, research director at the John Mack Institute, and past president of the North American Sartre Society. We discuss phenomenology, and how it applies to the subject and study of unidentified anomalous phenomena, non-human intelligence, and other kinds of anomalous encounters.Through such a philosophical approach, she points out, researchers emphasize the importance of first-person experience and clearly acknowledge the impossibility of completely removing subjectivity in scientific research. Engels is involved in the Archives of the Impossible metadata analysis project, and she outlines some initial patterns that are emerging from that effort.We also talk about the western scientific worldview, and how it compares with the North American indigenous conception of reality, especially as it relates to anomalous phenomena.Engels also describes how the dismissal of UAP and NHI experiences, as well as the culturally rejected traditions of non-western populations, functions as a kind of epistemic injustice, a devaluing of individual experience and perspective.To learn more, check out her blog:www.societyforuapstudies.org——————Music Credits:Music: Cinematic Logo 04 by TaigaSoundProdFree download: https://filmmusic.io/song/8221-cinema...Licensed under CC BY 4.0: https://filmmusic.io/standard-licenseMusic: Technology Calm Logo 01 by TaigaSoundProdFree download: https://filmmusic.io/song/6660-techno...Licensed under CC BY 4.0: https://filmmusic.io/standard-license-------Support the channel by helping James buy food and wipe his ass:www.patreon.com/neongalacticPlease don’t forget to like and subscribe.
