In this one, renowned researcher Richard Dolan joins me to peel back the layers of the enigma that is the UFO phenomenon. Using his book Alien Agendas as a springboard, we dive into the speculative and the startling: The possibility of an ongoing alien hybridization program, genetic manipulation, consciousness, the various flavors of non-human intelligence, and whether these entities—whatever they are—should be seen as allies, adversaries, or something far stranger.
This conversation isn't just about what's out there, it's about how deeply it might already be entangled with us.

Psychologist and longtime initiate of Tibetan Buddhism, Dr. Miles Neale enters the mind meld!
Miles' new book, Return with Elixir, is available now. Miles argues that we’re amid a global initiation. This rite of passage is constellating in countless forms: Strange visitations from other intelligences, ecological collapse, the emergence of AI, a transformation in our personal and collective identities, geopolitical insanity, the list goes on. But beneath it all, there’s a pattern. A new myth, a new age emerging.

In the 1970s, strange things were happening behind the scenes of America’s most secretive classified programs. Nuclear scientists with top secret clearance began reporting glowing orbs and terrifying poltergeist activity tormenting them in the night. The CIA was running a classified psychic spy unit, training people to "see" inside enemy territory thousands of miles away. Fresh on the scene was Uri Geller. A flamboyant Israeli psychic who claimed he could bend spoons with his mind and read thoughts. The CIA investigated Geller and decided to study him But was he really gifted or a fraud? Or worse—a double agent. Pat Price, one of history's most talented remote viewers. Price uncovered secrets so sensitive they triggered panic across intelligence circles. Then, just as the CIA was about to bring Price further into the fold, tragedy struck. In Chapter 11 of Phenomena, Annie Jacobsen dives into the murky world where paranormal research, Cold War espionage, and high-stakes secrecy collide.

Dr. Michael Levin and Dr. Matthew Segall enter the mind meld!
Dr. Michael Levin is a developmental and synthetic biologist at Tufts University where he’s the Vannevar Bush Distinguished Professor. His groundbreaking research on bioelectricity, morphogenesis, and cognition is reshaping our understanding of how living systems self-organize and regenerate. He explores how cells and tissues communicate through bioelectrical signals, guiding the formation of complex structures without relying solely on genetic instructions. Levin's work suggests that biological development is not purely mechanical but follows invisible organizational principles, akin to the Platonic Forms. By demonstrating how bioelectrical fields encode structural information beyond genetic determinism, Levin’s research hints at an underlying realm of conscious intelligible patterns, challenging reductionist views and opening the door to a Platonic interpretation of biology.
Dr. Matthew Segall is an Assistant Professor in the Philosophy, Cosmology, and Consciousness Program at California Institute of Integral Studies. He explores the intersections of metaphysics, science, and consciousness often through the philosopher Alfred North Whitehead’s process philosophy. Whitehead, highly influenced by Plato, rejected the static, mechanistic worldview of classical science, instead proposing that reality is composed of dynamic processes, where mind and matter are deeply intertwined. This aligns with the work of Levin, whose research suggests that living systems follow formative principles that transcend mere genetic code—an idea resonant with Whitehead’s notion of eternal objects (akin to Platonic Forms) as guiding forces in the becoming of things.
