Josh takes us on a meandering ontological journey into the ecology of the anomalous, hierarchical realities, and co-created experience as we examine what the wider body of data on the extraordinary — unshackled from a reductionist, materialist paradigm — could suggest about our relationship with the world(s) around us! Get ready for a steady dose of fairies, Bigfoot, death, deities, aliens, and UFOs; and this time around, add in a dash of consciousness!*******References⁠Josh’s website⁠ -- (Books, events, info)“⁠The Soul is a UFO⁠: Understanding and Embracing Transcendence” @ Esalen********Chapters00:00 Introduction to Josh’s Work07:59 The Influence of Movies and Monsters10:58 Childhood Experiences and Early Interests16:01 Evolution of Thought on Paranormal Phenomena21:49 The Role of Fear and Transformation24:43 Understanding Anomalous Ecology35:01 Exploring Fourth Wall Phantoms and Mythology40:54 The Misunderstanding of Myths and Fairy Tales42:37 The Intersection of AI and UFO Phenomena45:40 Authority Structures and Reality Manipulation49:47 The Nature of Phenomena and Collective Consciousness51:18 Human Evolution and Expanded Consciousness54:38 Art, Transformation, and the Human Experience01:02:04 Theatricality of Reality and the Role of the Audience📲👍🏽🔔 Please rate, follow, and turn on alerts for our podcast to support us and stay up to date with our releases, and we encourage you to ask questions and give us feedback and thoughts in the comments section! 🗣️ The Fire In The Cosmos can only be kindled through an open dialogue on all these topics, so we want this to be a space where YOUR voice can also be heard!

• Anthony Miller: I Met "The Old Gods" . . . They Laughed, Spoke of Return & Cracked Me Open (Ep. 13)

  GuestAnthony Miller******** Episode SummaryIn this special solo episode, Anthony shares the full details of his first anomalous experience after a contact protocol he felt called to create in 2023. In the induced encounter, he met a council or hive mind of non-human intelligences, calling themselves "the old gods," with one visually resembling the Ancient Egyptian deity Ra. However, they told him that humanity had gotten them (and reality) wrong, and they were not actually gods. The message went on and was truly wondrous and awe-inspiring. This recording comprises three voice memos Anthony had recorded for private use over a span of one year--between 2023-2024--discussing his background, journey, and experience. He had shared bits and pieces of this in Ep. 1 of the podcast when it was called Obliterate The Construct. However, Sinéad’s predecessor on the show asked that we remove that episode for her own privacy when she moved on to other ventures and fields. Anthony is still not sure what to make of this experience, how it blended subjectivity and objectivity, and what it potentially says about some of these "others" in relation to us, but it serves as a huge data point for him, and it set him down the path that has led him to eventually starting this podcast! It also grounded the influences of syncretism, meditative techniques like the Monroe Institute’s Gateway Process, binaural frequencies, and various cultural and folkloric modalities!We hope this can be helpful to others out there who have experienced similar things, and we hope it can provide some hope at a time when dark, apocalyptic, fear-based narratives appear to be trending. We believe we have allies out there (and in here), and some of those allies may be more connected to us than we know!******** Chapters00:00 Introduction02:58 Background and Context06:09 Exploring the UFO Phenomenon08:55 Diving Into Consciousness & Plant Medicine12:02 The Gateway Process & Contact Modalities21:11 Meeting “The Old Gods”31:00 Ancient Egyptian, Norse, Celtic & Indigenous Connections34:06 The Transmissions: A New Era & Human Awareness37:10 Connecting With Consciousness & Meditation43:22 Exploring Past Lives & Emotional Revelations49:09 The Nature of Reality & the Beings' Intentions59:50 The Muses: Preparing Humanity Through Film & Culture01:06:51 Sharing the Experience & Family Reactions01:13:40 Continued Exploration and Future Pathways#Paranormal #UFO #UFOs #NHI #Alien #Aliens #Supernatural #Indigenous #Celtic #Norse #Egyptian #gods #Religion #PlantMedicine #Spiritual #Metaphysical #Spirit #Mystical #Science #Podcast📲👍🏽🔔 Please rate, follow, and turn on alerts for our podcast to support us and stay up to date with our releases, and we encourage you to ask questions and give us feedback and thoughts in the comments section! 🗣️ The Fire In The Cosmos can only be kindled through an open dialogue on all these topics, so we want this to be a space where YOUR voice can also be heard!
