Anyone alive in the modern era is entitled to look at the startling conflux of transformational variables currently arising in our midst, and conclude that this is a time of truly unparalleled change; change so all-encompassing that it is virtually guaranteed that the world a decade from now will prove fundamentally different from the one we’re in now, and even more contrastingly different than the one any of us were born into.

The UFO Phenomenon, an ever-present specter in our midst, is a key element in this transformational stew. At this point not only is new information coming to light on a yearly basis pertaining to this topic, but even on a monthly – and sometimes even weekly – basis. That is to say, while the modern UFO Phenomenon traces its origins back 80 years or so – existing mostly in the fringes of polite society for that entire time – we are now in an era where it feels like at any moment this reality of mysterious others and their bewitching tech will be fully “mainstreamed”.

Of course, once we cross this threshold, a key collective moment of contemplation awaits us: one that presents overarchingly profound questions about not just who they are, but who we are. And at that point our entire civilization must endure a moment of deep, reflective reckoning; a reckoning that acknowledges that almost nothing we’ve confidently believed about our reality is quite what it has seemed. If nothing else, this dawning realization will help us see that we’ve been living in some version of the Truman Show – where what we’ve thought was real was more like a stage play.

Even as we face this comprehensive re-contextualization around our origins and our place in the Cosmos, we are seeing our own civilization approach an apex moment, referred to some as the Singularity, where spiraling technological growth becomes not only irreversible, but so all-encompassing that it constitutionally changes what it means to be human. The sudden rise of artificial intelligence over the course of the last 12 months is front and center in this discussion.

Of course, in addition to us approaching this moment of widespread acknowledgement of these Others in our midst, happening just as we approach an apparent technological point of no return, there is also the matter of the increased engagement by some of these Others with modern humanity. And of course this raises a couple of intriguing questions:

1.) Is the government shift towards disclosure happening because they recognize that if they don’t get “ahead of the curve” – in terms of embarking on some plan of controlled disclosure – that the matter will be taken out of their hands altogether, resulting in what some have called “catastrophic disclosure” – speaking to its potentially devastatingly destabilizing impact on human civilization?

2.) Are groups of these Others ramping up their engagement with humanity precisely because the point of no return we are presently approaching at break-neck speed is so consequential that they have determined that letting us pass that threshold of our own accord is simply not tenable – primarily because they perhaps see that – without intervention – that unaided crossing would inevitably ensure our own demise?

These questions are simultaneously as profound as they are perplexing – arousing excitement in some, and trepidation in others, and they are precisely the matters we’ll be diving head on into, in this, the 93rd episode of the Point of Convergence podcast.

For a long period of modern history the matter of the so-called UFO Phenomenon remained a topic cast to the fringes of discourse. While there has always been a committed community of people dedicated to getting to the bottom of this enduring, enigmatic mystery, that group has operated – for the most part – in the margins of polite society. And while the general public has long believed in the likely existence of extraterrestrial life in the cosmos – as have astrophysicists, for that matter – the subject of some of that sophisticated alien life already being in our midst has been a different matter altogether; one, for the most part, subjected to the conspiracy theory bin amongst the mainstream.

That clear distinction between these two statements – that other life exists in the cosmos, and that some of that life is already visiting us – began to dissolve somewhat with the revelations brought forward by David Grusch; an insider who had come into contact with clear evidence not just of the presence of these “aliens” in our midst, but furthermore of contact, communication and even agreements being made between elements of the U.S. government and its military services and these factions of so-called non-human intelligence.

For those subjected to the historic enterprise known as alien abduction, these revelations raised new and troubling questions about just how much human governments have not only known about this matter – despite their public denials – but may have been party to them. It is one thing to come to grips with the notion that sophisticated intelligences are able to take you from the comfort of your home with impunity. It is another matter altogether to learn that perhaps your own government has been privy to these activities; and that may have been part of an accord struck between these other intelligences and human governments.

And yet, this is precisely what is on the table; not just as a result of the allegations brought forward by David Grusch, but also because of details that have been provided elsewhere, going into greater detail as to the nature of these accords as they pertain to the matter of abductions. In this week’s podcast we’re going to delve into once such account that purports to describe the nature of the cooperative aspect of these events; detailing how a deeply compartmented element of the U.S. air force was made aware of abductions via telepathic communication received by personnel who had been genetically altered to enhance their capacity to receive said messages from the faction of non-human intelligence who had made this accord.

If true, the implications of this account are not only consequential, but, for many, they are also deeply disquieting. But of course such topics are not ones we shy away from on this podcast. Just how much have human governments – or segmented aspects of them – actually known about these historic abductions? And how exactly was intel passed from an alien faction to a group of human beings privy to this sweeping enterprise? These are precisely the matters we’ll be delving into in this, the 90th episode of the Point of Convergence podcast.

For decades now, many if not most people across the globe have wondered, who else is out there? Are we alone? Can our species really be the only intelligence in the immensity of the Cosmos? And as our understanding of the mind-boggling vastness of the physical universe has grown exponentially over time, along with the development of a much more nuanced fine-tuned understanding of just how many galaxies, star systems and planets that likely entails, the preposterousness of the notion that we’re “all alone” has only escalated. And in that endeavor, we’ve been sending probes out into our solar system, and now beyond, as well as exploratory rovers to neighboring worlds like Mars, in hopes of answering that question.

But from that very large collection of nearly everyone on the planet who’s asked the question about us being alone in the universe, there is a subsection that asks a different question: are we alone, here? Right here, on Earth? Or is it possible that we have already been, and perhaps are presently being, surveilled by an alien presence much more advanced that us — to the point where our intelligence gathering capabilities have thus far failed miserably in our attempt to answer that question, even though tantalizing hints exist almost everywhere we look — especially since our sensing tools and apparatus have taken gargantuan leaps in capability over the last couple of decades.

As I say, tantalizing hints exist suggesting that we are not alone — even here, in our own backyard, as it were. These hints include verified unidentified flying objects, or as they’re currently referenced in government intelligence circles, “unidentified aerial phenomena”, buzzing in and around our airspace, even some of our most supposedly secure, protected military airspace. Many of us would go much further, arguing there is actually persuasive evidence, for those unbiased enough to really look with clear vision, to suggest the question as to their presence here on and around the earth is a long settled one: in the positive.

But if they’re here, as we asked in last week’s podcast, why the hiddenness? Why are their operations so evidently clandestine? Many experiencers who’ve claimed contact with these Others share a familiar narrative regarding the reason they’ve been told about: they (the Others) are waiting – not passively, but while employing various means to speed the process along – for a consciousness upgrade, as it were, amongst the human race, so that we can arrive at a point in our history where a revelation of a superior alien presence would be welcomed and considered “good news” for humanity and the planet.

Some are frustrated with this proposed reasoning. Surely the revelation of a more technologically capable, benign alien presence would be good news today, this very day, were these Others to suddenly, in some worldwide, plain-as-day way, make themselves known to human civilization. And surely countless challenges – including disease, climate change, international and inter-religious strife, etc. could be well on their way to being resolved, were this to happen. I actually think that perspective is misguided, and makes various assumptions about the nature of the world as it presently exists, that simply don’t hold water. So what would really happen if a superior alien intelligence suddenly made its presence known on a global scale? An intriguing question: one that is the topic of this, the 9th episode of the Point of Convergence podcast.
