Neon Galactic with James Faulk

Encountering mystery prompts a profound rethinking of all we thought we knew.
On this episode, we convene a panel of folks who’ve long entertained the question of how the UFO and NHI intersects with spirituality, mythology, transformation, death, and the metacrisis now unfolding across human society.
David Stuss and Dr. Chris Avis, both educators from Camosun College in British Columbia, are joined by experiencer, author and podcaster Robin Lassiter and Torah teacher Yoni Shadme to explore whether humanity is facing a choice between artificial ascension through AI technology versus reclaiming spiritual capacities that have been part of human mythology for thousands of years. 
The discussion centers around two potential future paths: one involving rampant technology that fills the spiritual gap created with materialism, where machines and humans converge. The other involves reconnecting with a natural human spirituality and the suddenly emerging divine feminine. 
We explore the idea of grief as a metabolic process for processing trauma, as well as the concept of "vesseling" – that is, creating containers to hold collective sorrow – and the notion that generational human sorrow may be an impediment to our evolution as a species. 
We discuss the pervasive sense of exile that humans feel, and where that sense of loss originates.

Are what we witness as UFOs and UAP, including both plasmid orbs and metallic craft, the vanguard of two opposing futures vying for manifestation?
In this interview, Dr. Joanna Kujawa discusses her new book, “Alien Goddess: UFOs, AI, and the Goddess of Ascension,” which uses Jungian archetypes, ancient myth, gnostic tradition, and much else to present a compelling analysis of this moment in human history.
We may be faced with a choice. Do we abandon our traditions of spiritual development to instead create a new kind of ascension through radical technological deployment and artificial intelligence?
How does this looming choice relate to the gnostic ideas of the divine feminine, archontic powers, the demiurge, and material reality? Kujawa argues passionately for humanity to back away from the technological development that she believes is truncating our spiritual potential and rendering us as commodified livestock for a rabid attention economy. 
Deploying ancient myths like Inanna, Demeter/Persephone, and Pistis Sophia, she demonstrates how the archetypal spiritual journey of descent and ascent are as available now as they’ve ever been, encoded as they are in these traditions.
She also outlines four levels of consciousness from esoteric traditions, with the third level (liminal/imaginal space) being crucial for experiencing anomalous phenomena and spiritual awakening. She contrasts this third tier with the materialistic first level that dominates modern AI development, and therefore threatens to pervert our potential. 
Individuals, she argues, can choose evolution over control through personal spiritual practice and curiosity about the miraculous, even as powerful and celebrated technological gurus and oligarchs are operating from lower levels of consciousness focused on manipulation.

In this interview, I sit down with John Priestman, chairman of the nonprofit organization uNHIdden, to explore how the biggest threat from UFOs so far is the denial of deleterious health impacts from contact and poor planning around disclosure. 
Unaddressed, these issues could make future UFO revelations catastrophically destabilizing, which means more lives and money lost. 
UNHIdden researches the physical and psychological impacts of UAP phenomena, and lobbies for governments and other institutions to take the issue seriously, and to treat experiencer patients with care and respect.  
 
We discussed uNHIdden's three published white papers, including one that presents a preparedness plan for potential post-disclosure mental health crises. Priestland outlines the plan's public health framework, which includes building what he calls "meaning resilience" through the creation of structured conversation groups.
He also advocates for the recruitment of trusted voices to help desensitize the public. The recent moves made by Dr. Phil may be an effort to do just that, he said. 
Priestland argues that governments need to take the topic seriously and reduce stigma, while criticizing vague threat narratives that induce unnecessary anxiety. 
The conversation also touches on the potential societal impacts of disclosure and the importance of rigorous research to understand ontological shock.

On this episode, I sit down with author, speaker, and spiritual practitioner Matt Zemon to discuss how psychedelic mushrooms are becoming a sacrament to reconnect people with their spiritual nature, a method to break free from the egoic mind and find holistic perspective.
Matt Zemon is executive director of the Council on Spiritual Practices, an organization that for over three decades has been dedicated to making experiences of the sacred more available to more people. He holds a Doctor of Ministry from Pacific School of Religion, specializing in psychedelics in religious practice, and a Master of Science in Psychology and Neuroscience of Mental Health from King's College London.
The author of six books on psychedelics, religion, and healing, most recently “Ordinary Mystics: Psychedelics, Faith, and the Reclaiming of Direct Spiritual Experience,” he serves an entheogenic faith community and understands direct spiritual experience to be rooted in religious tradition and protected under existing law.
We discuss how such medicine works to help people transcend the limits of materialistic thinking, and how it may address the ongoing loss of meaning in human society.

On this episode, I sit down with Kimberly Engels, associate professor of philosophy at Molloy University and research director of the John Mack Institute, to discuss her book, "Contact and Multidimensional Subjectivity: Toward a Phenomenology of Disclosure." 
The conversation focuses on Engels' approach to studying UFO experiencers through phenomenological methods, examining how these encounters transform participants' sense of self, reality, and ethics. 
We discuss the concept of "partial witnessing" as a form of epistemic harm, where experiencers' testimonies are reduced to fit pre-existing worldviews rather than being taken seriously in their full complexity. 
Engels outlines how a multi-dimensional “new” ethics is emerging from contact experiences that includes everything now existing on this planet, as well as an interspecies relationality. This development suggests rather strongly that humanity is undergoing a transformation in how we understand our place in a more-than-human universe. 
The discussion also touches on the debate between traditional human rights approaches to contact and a post-anthropocentric perspective that acknowledges the epistemic advantages of non-human intelligences. Engels advocates for epistemic humility and invites people to consider alternative ways of understanding these experiences rather than forcing specific interpretations.
