Over the last 12 months or so, those associated with ufology have seen their excitement level around the matter of official disclosure reach a fevered pitch. Much of the optimism has been tied to the remarkable specificity of the language included in the Schumer amendment, which makes clear not only that sophisticated, non-human intelligences in our midst exist, but that various elements of the military industrial complex have constructed elaborate schemes to study this phenomenon while shielding this consequential reality not just from the American people, but also from Congress and the rest of government.
\nWhile much of that amendment was eventually gutted before being passed into law, in many ways the proverbial train has nevertheless left the station. There is just too much momentum heading into 2024 for this progress to reverse course. It may take longer than some within ufology would prefer, but this march towards an official acknowledgement of the reality of this phenomenon \u2013 and the various unconventional intelligences behind it \u2013 seems unstoppable at this point.
\nWhile this particular matter of when disclosure will actually happen has been front and center in the ufological dialogue over the last year, what has been discussed much less regularly is the matter of what will actually be disclosed. Many of us obsessed with this topic have been so focused on crossing this one particular threshold -- yes, this is real, and yes, so are they \u2013 that we\u2019ve spent far less time pondering what might be disclosed, or commented upon, beyond this initial civilization-changing acknowledgement.
\nTruth be told, this is precisely where the challenge really arises for the powers that be. And, frankly, that\u2019s because they really have no clear understanding of where this all leads. Yes, it\u2019s real. Yes, it\u2019s been present in our midst \u2013 even if in stealthy manner \u2013 for perhaps as long as we\u2019ve been around as a species. But as to its ultimate nature, and how it changes our understanding of fundamental reality, that\u2019s a matter of ongoing contention and confusion \u2013 even for the insiders who\u2019ve spent decades studying this, with the highest security clearances available.
\nFor those who take the most overarching view \u2013 considering not just the more contemporary manifestation and interpretation of this Phenomenon, but also ways that deep human history seems to point to interactions stretching back millenia - even if described in terms and frames much less familiar and comfortable to modern ears \u2013 it\u2019s clear that these other intelligences have not only been with us all along, likely shaping our development across time in the process, but likely were responsible for our very seeding upon this blue pearl of a planet to begin with.
\nIn today\u2019s episode we\u2019ll be taking a deep dive into the ways one can make a very solid case for the notion that ancient encounters with so-called \u201cgods" were ultimately part of the very same enterprise as the more modern UFO/UAP and alien abduction/hybridization enigma. How has framing, and a poor understanding of the different cultural contexts that have tried to make sense of these phenomena over time, obscured the underlying truth of these reality-shaking revelations? These are the very daring, daunting, and highly disruptive matters we\u2019ll be exploring in this, the 95th episode of the Point of Convergence podcast.
