Strange Encounters With Other Beings - Jason Quitt | Ep. 98
135m 4s
Jason Quitt, a Canadian author and investigator, discusses his extensive experiences with out-of-body experiences (OBEs) on a podcast. His journey began in the early 2000s with frequent sleep paralysis episodes, which he initially found terrifying. Through intense anger and frustration, he accidentally popped out of his body for the first time, encountering a shadow being resembling the Grim Reaper. This event led him down a path of research, meditation, and Qi Gong, where he learned to induce OBEs deliberately, often using Monroe Institute-style tapes and breathing techniques. He emphasizes the importance of controlling emotions to prolong the experience, as excitement or attempts to control the journey often snap him back to his body.
Jason describes encounters with various entities, including tall mantis-like beings, shadow people, and reptilians, which he believes are often misinterpreted as physical abductions. He notes that many abduction scenarios mirror OBE experiences, suggesting a non-physical component. He also shares a healing story where he used crystals, oils, and focused breathing to heal a slammed finger overnight, attributing it to energy work and intention. The conversation explores the astral as a transitionary space for inter-dimensional interactions and the concept of the void as a fundamental reality. Ultimately, Jason concludes that while OBEs offer profound insights, the purpose of life lies in living fully in the physical world, not escaping it.
I see my body hovering above my bed. This is so real, and this is the grim reapers to take me away. So I'm like screaming and like trying to wake my body up, like I'm thrashing inside my physical body, wake up, wake up, and that is literally how it started. A couple months will go by and then suddenly at night it'll just happen because maybe something walked into the bedroom that's not supposed to be there. There's more to this than just us wanting it. The first couple years of these experiences I would experience man-to-beings, which was a ton of people experience. And for me, they were like, I don't know. I didn't feel any bad intention. I was taken. And I was like, I was in this nursery hospital type of thing. This nurse walks out and it's like, I want you to meet your child. How you doing? I don't know if this actually counts for what you do, but I'm going to tell you something quick. I was a Providence Rotary Police Officer Mo. 2-09. I was injured by gunfire and lost the use of my right ear, like I'm deaf in one ear. Some years later, I developed the ability to hear spirits or I became a clearer audience as they call it. And I think it's because of my injury. But a lot of things I've been hearing now have been picking up since a lot of this UFO stuff has been coming out. It's been getting more intense. Not schizophrenic. I'm serious. You can check that I was a cop. This is a real thing. When I would like some help about this because I'm confused about what I'm hearing and I don't know anyone can help me. Thanks. Ladies and gentlemen, today I am joined by a fellow Canadian. This is Jason Quitt author and I would say investigator, um, experiencer. You're someone who I met at contact in the desert and I was quite taken with because your ability to, I suppose, put into words a lot of the out of body stuff, a lot of the sort of, even the western esotericism or the sort of philosophical stuff, the ancient Greek, whether it's, what was the recent book you put out on Atlantis? Atlantis called the Shining Island. The Shining Island. I thought it was really fascinating. I haven't gotten a chance to read it yet. I want to read it, but you talking about it at contact, I was really taken back because I was like, oh, this is a brand new take. So thank you so much for joining me today. It's a real pleasure having you and I look forward to speaking about all these things that, that I'm sure you're really well versed on with you. So thank you again for joining me. Of course. Thank you for inviting me. So Jason, for the audience at home, how would you describe what it is that you do? Like other than being an author, what do you do? Well, I started, what do I do? Other than being an author, I work selling crystals. Yeah. It's actually like my real job. I do teachings. I teach Chigong. And I just kind of research. That's what I do day to day is just kind of wait till the next mystery and try to figure out exactly what I can do to try to break that open. Yeah. And you've been researching this stuff for quite a while. I take it. Oh, now we spoke before the cameras turned on, but you got into this through the crystals and through the Chigong and all of this. But then you went from that to having out of body experiences. No, it was actually was a verse. Oh, the out of body. That's what got you into it. That's what really got me into it was the out of body. It was the crystals and going down this path of the Chigong to try to figure out this reality. What was I experiencing? What did I need to do? Because when I, I'll say it my past life, I was a musician. I was a graphic designer. I opened up a recording studio with my best friend. So that's where I started out in life after college. And things were going great. I really enjoyed life. Life had another plan for me. I started to have these experiences of sleep paralysis when I was at the studio. And back in the day, we're going back to the early 2000s. I didn't know the Monroe Institute. I didn't know anybody I could talk to about this. I couldn't go on YouTube. It didn't exist yet. I had to go on AOL or Yahoo search or go to the library and try to figure this out. And it was kind of like that that kind of led me down this path. And I love crystals all my life. They'll get me wrong. But when I learned that maybe they could help me with dealing with this out of body experience stuff, that's when I really started to get into crystals. So take me down the path of your first experience. I'd filled you in before the podcast on sort of what happened to me. And I say what happened to me because I didn't go looking for it. And I'm sure, I mean, I'm sure you're probably the same. A lot of people who experience it, they don't go looking for it at first. It kind of just happens to them through through circumstance. But what got you out of body the first time? Well, it was actually anger. Really? It was a lot of anger. Because like I said, I was having these sleep paralysis episodes. And they were happening very frequently, you know, maybe even once a week or even more. And what happened is that I would be locked in my body. I'd be screaming to wake up. I can feel things in my room with me. So it's like I could sense something walking around. And so I'm just in complete terror, anger, fear. But you know, when it happens so often, you kind of get, I don't want to say you get used to it. You numb to it. You kind of get numb to it. But you get really frustrated and angry. Like this is happening again. So one night I'm just like really struggling inside my body. And when you're in this state for me, it was like there was another version of me. There was another body within my physical body. So it's like I can move this thing around inside my physical body. And it was like I always say it's like my tomb. So I'm like screaming and like trying to wake my body up. Like I'm thrashing inside my physical body. Wake up, wake up. And one night I was just so pissed. I was like thrashing so hard to wake up that I popped out of my body. Wow. And I found myself on the ceiling just like people describing your death. Robert Monroe having his first experience as well. And I'm looking down at my bed, which is totally terrifying. Yeah. And I'm straight as a board on my back. There's no covers on me. And my eyes are wide open. So I'm like on the ceiling looking down at me, looking back up at me. And okay, if that wasn't freaky enough, my attention gets pulled to the foot of my bed. And there's this tall shadow being. And it was clear as day. It was like it looked dense like it had a physical form, but it looked like the grip reaper. And it's like my heart stopped. And I instantly it was like the slap of reality. It's like did I just kill myself? This is so real. And this is the grim reapers to take me away. Wow. And it's like that that moment of my life was so shocking, so terrifying. Because remember I wasn't looking for this. I didn't know that this was going to happen to me, but it did happen to me. And from that moment, well, in that exact moment, I got scared so much, I got sucked back in my body and woke up. And my heart was just like pounding out of my chest and fear like what just happened to me. And that is literally how it started. Whoa. So there's a lot to unpack here. First off, I find it really interesting the part about sleep paralysis because from what I've gathered, it seems like that is the out of body state. I had a friend of mine, I have a friend of mine who can literally induce a sleep paralysis on command every night if he wishes to, which he doesn't because it is. I've never had it, but it's very, very scary apparently. It's terrifying because you know, often you'll have the egg or somebody on your chest or like some snake or some being and you'll feel like, oh my god, I'm going to die and you can't leave your body. And so I asked him one day, I said his name is Wes and I said, Wes, have you ever flown in your dreams and he goes, no, never. And I go, maybe that's why you're locked in your body. Like I've always flown in my dreams. I fly my dreams quite regularly. And so for me, I think when I had that sleep paralysis state, I already had the know how to sort of will myself up as one does in dreams. Is that the same for you? Have you had dreams? Have you flown in dreams before that? Yes. Oh,
have flow in dreams. So I don't know if that's the same. But what I will say is that for me, it's that sleep paralysis is kind of like the key. That's like the state when you know your body is shut off, and you know, people will say it's your brain shutting your body off, you know, and then you hallucinate. Well, it's true. You don't want to go out in your dreams and act them out when you're sleeping. But when you're meditating, when you start to learn how to meditate, like deep breaths into the stomach, especially with meditation or Qi Gong, you can induce that sleep paralysis, sleep paralysis state, where it's like your body starts to feel that heat rise up. You start to feel that tingling. It may be like those waves coming through and then you can start to feel like, okay, it's like your, your consciousness is now shifting. It's like your body is shutting down. It's like you've given the command. The body is now shutting down. It's going into its sleep cycle mode, but you are now aware. You're now aware of that sleep paralysis. And through that, you will yourself. And I think the word will is the best word possible, because when you try to force, you wake right up. Right. Yeah. And it's the, it's the old mind awake body asleep mantra that, you know, one learns at places like the Monroe Institute. Sorry, I think someone's at the door right now. How long? Okay. So I want to get, I really want to dissect the outer body experience stuff with you today, because as someone who's had them, I stopped having them at one point. I think willingly, because of the last experience that I have was a little frightening. But I wanted to, I wanted to try and understand if there was a protocol that you had that helped you navigate out of the body. Then you said the sleep paralysis was like a gateway for you. How would you, how would you go about inducing that through meditation? Is that like three o'clock in the morning? Is it when you're tired? Is it late in the day? When do you do it? It varies. So sometimes when you have, let's say like an afternoon nap, it's sometimes the easiest time to do it. Really? Sometimes an afternoon nap will just put you in there because you're, you're kind of like in this in between state already. It's like your day dreaming. And then suddenly your body shuts off and you can do it. The trick that I tell people is I found the easiest was if you wake up too early. As in, let's say you wake up at like four or five in the morning and you're like, Oh, I don't have to get up till nine. Then you just go right back to sleep. So the whole trick is you wake up at like four or five in the morning, but don't move. Just be awake. Your body is still basically asleep and then just go back there, but keep your mind aware and then you will feel yourself going and dropping through those areas of awareness, I would say. Yeah, that's what happened to me. That was like, I'd have to at one point, I knew that if I drank a glass of water before bed, like a half glass, I knew I'd have to pee at like four in the morning or three 30, but then I also knew that if I didn't drink too much water, I could probably just hold it and go back to sleep. And so once I'm in that state where I'm like, Oh, I should go to the bathroom. I think, oh, maybe I won't. And I'll just start meditating. And that's usually when I put the headphones on, I'll start like a sort of one of the gateway tapes or whatever. Do you do the gateway tapes? A friend gave it to me years after I was already astral traveling. And I wanted to see if it would work. And so I'd listen to it and I don't know which one it is because I know there's many tapes, but it's the one where you're taking the deep breaths and you focus, let's say, on your toes. And then you kind of like work your way up. Yeah, like focus 10. I think that's what it is. That one for me is like the easiest best way. It's just like you breathe because it's it's already doing this kind of like cosmic Chigong breath where you're bringing the energy to like the stomach, you're focusing in on the breathing while you're listening to the frequencies. But then what you're doing is you're dropping your awareness into your body and breathing in those different places. And that's actually something that I teach in Chigong as well, where it's like because she follows the circuitatory system, but it also follows where your mind guides it. So it's like if I say to you meditate and focus on your big toe, for example, right? And just breathe, but all your attentions on your big toe. Soon it's going to feel like you're pulling in Qi. It's like your toe starts to breathe. Like you'll feel this energy come in and out of your toe with this focused intention and breathing technique. So that's why I loved that Monroe tape because it's something that I was already doing. So I go down into the feet, start breathing until I could feel that in and out flow. And I'll say this as well as when you're meditating. And I know you said you meditate. There's this point in meditation where you're breathing, but it's almost like the environment as well is breathing. Like you can feel kind of like this push and pull in the environment around you. And at first you think, is this like my pulse? Is this my breath? And then you're you're analyzing it. And it's like none of those and you're okay, wait a second. There is this kind of like ebb and flow in the atmosphere around you. And then suddenly you kind of let go and you go, okay, maybe this is like the flow I should be in. And you let go and you kind of join this in and out flow. And suddenly you expand outwards. So there's there's many different techniques and ways of popping out. That's a beautiful way of putting it. I was as you were speaking imagining myself through meditation. Yeah, you do. I guess I never quite realized it. But yeah, there is that sense of sort of almost being rocked back and forth. Very interesting. Now how how many times would you say over the years, have you left your body? How regularly do you leave your body? I've been carrying this exact ridge wallet with me for about six months now. And it's traveled with me all over the place. At this point, I don't even think about it. It just it works. It's slim. It's built incredibly well. And after months of airports and hotels and keys scraping around in my pocket, it looks almost brand new. And obviously, Ridge isn't just wallets either.

Ridge.com and use code area 52. I can't even tell you a number anymore. I would say in my early 20s was the most frequent. So this is when it was happening constantly. And I basically lived kind of a monk style existence where all I did was meditate. All I did was Qi Gong. And I was so addicted to the experience. And I know I shouldn't have been, which we could get into later. But you were young and I was young. Yeah. I literally shut out my friends and family because it's like, you know, I just needed to know. I needed to get to these states. And it was kind of like this, I will say kind of escapism. Sure. But also it's like I felt like this drive I needed to know I needed to understand more. So there was also a lot of frustration in those early days because sometimes you I would leave my body no problem. And sometimes I go months without nothing happening. And then you say you're like, why is nothing working? And you try to figure it out. And I can't figure it out. And I would just kind of say, maybe there's more to this than just us wanting it. Maybe there is some type of control of it and or maybe the stars just have to be aligned or I don't know. Yeah. Maybe there's some type of permission that is required in order to attain it. Do you believe because one thing that I've experienced was the moment you let go is the moment it happens. And sometimes you think you've let go. But just by thinking about letting go, you haven't let go. And so it does seem like when it does happen, all the stars have aligned. And you're in that perfect state of between sort of awake and sleep. But also in that mindset where you're not thinking about anything, you're literally not thinking about anything at all. And and you're able to navigate very clearly in that state without, you know, producing a strong sense of emotion.
any direction. It's all about control and this is the biggest fault with people trying to learn this and you know it happens to me as well happens to everybody is that when it happens to you you get really excited because wow I just did it I just left my body you get really excited you know after the terror yeah I say after 500 times you get really excited yeah and then you're like okay I want to like do this or I want to go here I want to explore and it's like snap you pull right back in your body and for me it's like okay I have to stop that I have to stop the excitement I can't work my emotions up my mind can't go wild it's like I pop out I have to like learn how to be silent so it's like there it seems to me there is this other intelligence in that world or the astral body itself has its own intelligence to it it knows exactly what it has to do at that time and you become the observer of it and that's how I found to stay longer in that state so I could have my awareness to observe what's going on and when I'm doing it that way then I get taken to places and I I could prolong the journey and maybe there's tree things bring things back with me but the moment I try to control or say I want this or let's do this just shuts me off that is interesting so do you think that the out of body state and again we say out of body I don't know if that's the correct term for what it is we're experiencing like it's the closest thing that we can think about right because when you turn to look at yourself you see a body lying there but in reality you know the room isn't exactly the same things are a little different it's almost like your brain is creating a reality based on memory to make you comfortable is that makes sense it makes total sense because when I first started coming out it was my bedroom right so it's my bedroom there might be things out of place it's not exactly my bedroom it can go through my house you know my this is when I live with my mother my brother they weren't there it was like an empty house so it was like a separation it was something else and then what I found really interesting is that when I left the house so let's say like I I go out through the roof just float up through the roof I can see my house but then it's like jungle and then it's like waterfalls and like that's not where I live it is almost like it merges with a type of a dream scape reality type of thing yeah like your your brain is also perhaps used to certain things and so in order to make you comfortable or to have you just even understand what is happening you might need some parameters that you're familiar with I think that's exactly what's happening you know after all these years it's like oh why did this look like this or why did this being come and being looked like this I think I think it's our brains literally trying to interpret and put it together in a way that could could unravel it or understand it in a way that you'll understand it right almost like an archetype right hmm okay yeah that does make sense because it is kind of like when people ask me about it and I don't know too much about it you know I've read a few books and I've had a half a dozen experiences they I haven't had many but what I do know is that the experience feels objectively different than a lucid dream I've had plenty of lucid dreams many many vivid dreams many many lucid dreams and this seems to fall into its own category which isn't quite one or the other like it's not reality and it's not well reality as we know it physically and it's not a dream or a lucid dream and so you know that was always where I was a little confused because I'm like objectively this is different I don't know if it's a new type of dream or something that we don't have a word for I don't feel like I am because the term out of body is what it feels like when you can see your body and your outside of it but I don't know that my awareness isn't here and in my body at the same time like I don't know that I'm not in my body I just assume that have you given that any thought I have but you know I think the body itself is a projection of again what we believe so it's like maybe we're sending an orb of consciousness right outside of us or or or our thoughts are connected to you know this greater consciousness field and all we're doing is tapping into something else there's also the concept of the multi-dimensional body where we exist in all these dimensions at once kind of like pains of glass almost right and basically what happens is that you can shift from one to the next so it's like you have the physical body in this reality and then when you enter that reality you have this kind of form that fits that spiritual awareness of that space right I see which would make sense when you know some people report seeing their own hands like in the out of body state it's like you're creating that as well like you're almost again it's hard to say what's happening because it's sort of uncharted it's very difficult yeah it's very difficult to see your hands yeah you're out of body and I've tried so many times to like just kind of look down at my hands and it doesn't it just looks like kind of light in the darkness like just light in the darkness that you can see through but it's almost like I had to work so hard to see that it's like am I manifesting that to see it yeah yeah I think that could be part of it because that's the first thing that um when I the first time I willingly left my body which was the third edibody event that I had was I was very excited extremely excited like I was like oh my god it was coming back from Monero Institute was like months later after meditating every single day finally it's happened again this time you know on my own accord and I remember not seeing anything um you know couldn't see and I tried to like you know will my eyes open but I felt I was out and uh and then I went I tried to go to a place instead of a person and this is uh interesting because it was the following chapter that I read the next day which is spoken about it but I was trying to go to Paris for some reason and I was just like hurled through space but I couldn't see anything but I felt myself being thrown and when I stopped I felt I was suspended and I felt the whole world kind of shift around me like there's like whoa like I could feel it and then as I peeled my eyes open forcefully I'm looking at this giant churning cube this black rock like massive monolith of a stone just like churning in on itself is very bizarre and terrifying and I was just like this big like next to it and uh I remember closing my eyes opening and there it was again I was like oh my god and uh I wiggled my fingers and then I got hurled sort of back into my body um you know the next day I read in churning so I think it was chapter 17 or something like that and he literally said like I mean I was I was listening to the audiobook actually and I was in the shower and he said uh don't go to a place go to a person if you go to a place it's not going to work and I was like oh yeah I went somewhere in between because I was trying to go to a place I guess have you ever found yourself in places that you couldn't recognize um yes many times I take yes but um I'll give you the the weirdest one okay because it's still still fascinating to me um and then and I'll just say that this was after a mushroom journey okay all right after like the night after like you dreamt okay yes it was the night after and I left my body and I found myself in this other world it was like this other dimension and I was in the sky and I looked like a giant amoeba like just a giant amoeba with all these like vibrant colors pulsing in my like translucent body and I'm in the sky and there's this like grand forest underneath me as far as you can see the sky was like purple orange it was a very weird sky and there was other amoebas like me in the sky and there was like these uh like almost like these snakes that were uh they just had like colors through them like they were in in visible it was so weird and we were like dancing and singing in the sky and these snakes were like going around us and all through this guy I was there the entire night I was just there and it was like is this me like in another form in another dimension just having a party in the sky well and then it's just like like consciousness came back and I was like that was the most bizarre experience because I was not Jason I was this amoeba thing with other amoeba things in the sky well and it wasn't earth so crazy and it wasn't earth no
That's guy I've never seen a guy like that whoa Yeah, I wonder if there is a part of that where we're just like tapping into like other beings existence and Kind of like changing the channels on a TV, you know testing different Do you think that like because there are people who teach this stuff and you talk about this stuff who often say that We journey out of the body every single night whether we know it or not. Is that something you believe in? I think so too, but I would say That the astral body itself is unconscious. I think it's like It remains in this unconscious state until you awaken it and then once you awaken it It's almost like this body double that Will come when it's needed So, you know, you asked me before, you know, how many times have I left my body like now? I don't never even try. I don't sit and meditate to like leave my body I don't go to sleep at night and say I want to leave I Leave naturally When it's needed so I don't have to do anything. It's just like so maybe a couple months will go by and then suddenly at night It'll just happen because maybe something walked into the bedroom that's not supposed to be there and it's almost like an immune response Hmm Well That's the interesting way of looking at it So let's talk about that. Let's talk with the things walking in You've met many sort of entities on these journeys Yes, what is what would you say? Okay, we're gonna we're gonna dissect all of this because this is this is really Where it intersects with the UFO world and with perhaps ghost stories. I mean everything What percentage of what you encountered do you feel is at best at sort of Benevolent or neutral like what percentage is that versus Something perhaps maybe a little more menacing. I would say from my experience In the beginning who is More menacing, who's more menacing? Yeah, so At first, I think it was all menacing It was it was kind of like beings or shadows that It felt like they were trying to pull me out of my body or push themselves into my body or like you said Like the old hag thing where you wake up and there's like this being on top of you or this heavy shadow It gets very scary, especially when you don't know and I think this is why a lot of people when they first start to go out They they turn to religion very quickly call on God very quickly because when you first enter you know a lot of people call The lower astral is that suddenly there are things there that are not friendly and You have to learn how to deal with them So for me it was just kind of like Fight like hell, so it was like if this thing is on me. I'm trying to fight it off if this thing is trying to pull me I'm trying to fight it off if it's trying to get it me. I'm trying to fight it off That was like the first couple of years because I didn't have any teachers. I didn't know what to do and So it starts like that and Then after a while it's it again just like with the sleep paralysis it becomes an annoyance And you have this this anger towards you So it's like there's something will come into the room and you'll get a woken and you're not getting a woken in Physical state you're in this altered state where you kind of Sit yourself up in bed or you don't even have to sit up You just kind of like turn your astral head and you can like kind of see out into the room and you're like okay What's here? And then there's this thing. Let's say it's a shadow for example and You know it gets to a point where you just lose the fear and just like okay if you want to go. Let's go Let's do this and then after a while You gain more control over it and then There are beings that were very That I can't I can't tell you if it was positive or negative Like for example in the first couple years of these experiences. I would experience man-to-beings Which are a ton of people experience and for me they were like They were kind of I would say that for my perception it was like they were shocked that I can see them well You know and how tall were they they're very tall. Yeah, it's like if they were standing by the door It's like I'd have to like tuck tuck their head in to come into the room where they Were they dressed no no the head is like this big Like because I know because it would come very close like this close to you and that's not a fun way to wake up It's like you know something's in the room and you pop out You just kind of look and there's a thing like this in front of your face It looks exactly like a praying mantis just very big and Sometimes there was one sometimes there was two in the room and It's like I could hear them speaking to each other and it's it's like it's almost like bird sounds are like clicking and And then I'm like I'll never forget this because I'm like I'm sorry. This is what I said to them. I wake up. They're in the room I'm like I could hear them talking to each other and I'm like I'm sorry I can't understand you can you please speaking less so I could understand what you're saying and they were looking at each other And they just went like this and they looked at me like is this Did can you see me? And it's just like then I got knocked back out. I don't know what these things are well You think it was them that knocks you back out? absolutely That's a terrifying thought so But like I said, I don't know I I didn't feel any Bad intentions or I it's almost like catching something. Yeah, not supposed to see and something scary doesn't Necessarily mean it's bad. Right. I mean we're afraid of spiders and spiders are really good Objectively good. That's great. You know, they they help us b's the same thing, you know They just have a bad rap because of their physical appearance an hour, you know history and understanding of what monsters should look like but So okay, so you met the mantis have you ever interacted with them? Just did like that. That's it. Just like that. Just those small transient moments where they're surprised that you're observing them And then they kind of knock you back out. Yeah, it's just like they're surprised It's like I keep waking up and they're there and it's kind of like they I've had one just do like a weird like head pull back like It's like we I felt like I caught him. Yeah, yeah, that's all I could say there is no communication whatsoever No, they didn't speak English at any point nothing like that. No They weren't wearing robes or anything. Love them We hear about um, no, I didn't see any ropes. What what do you make of the mantis archetype? I don't I have no clue what's going on because like what do you think if you were to take like a Jungian sort of approach to this? How would you rationalize? the mantis as an archetype in terms of Like the psyche. What would you what would you say that that represents? I would go back to maybe a time on earth when there was Intelligent I know insects are intelligent, but they were bigger insects back then with the oxygen level so maybe Some of these insects were bigger. Maybe you know, they're still here Wrapped in whatever this consciousness is outside the physical Um, and maybe that's where they inhabit now You know, there's this concept in shamanism and it's called the spirits of nature or in Japanese or in shinto It's called the Kami and it's basically like a collective spirit that everything has a spirit. So for example like a An insect for example on the other side There will be a spirit that represents the collective of that Being or of that life on an avatar or something kind of like that and you know I've heard a lot of stories especially living in Canada where it's like you have the the spirit of nature I love this concept by the way because it helps me kind of put together bigfoot which is like There are people are like it's multi-dimensional or it can tap in and out of you know this world But think about the spirit of nature concept where Let's say that all the trees and plants are sentient beings like they're a life form. They have an energy They have an awareness to whatever that awareness is but they They can't like move They can't pick things off. They can't do anything But maybe their consciousness the spirit of nature could manifest some type of form in the physical for a limited amount of time to do a certain tasks for them That is a funny concept I mean like an egregore yeah But created by plants but created by nature other animals. Yeah, it's funny the uh the Canadian space agency. Did you see their patch? Oh the parking lot
lot. We'll parking lot. The Canadian space agency. Oh, the parking lot. Yeah, the giant platform. Yeah. No, that's, yeah, that's where they're going to test, you know, whatever. I don't need to know. But they have a patch that they put on Jeremy. I forget his last name, but he was, uh, you know, the, the pilot and astronaut that went on Artemis 2 for the moon thing. And the Canadian patch features a big foot on it. It was really quite nice. And they explained the, and it was not unlike what you're saying, but they had like all these different animals because it was taken from first nations and sort of, you know, the Orca and this. And then that represents different things. And all on there was like the, you know, the walk in Sasquatch. And I forget what the significance of it was, but I think it was something or other about, um, sort of the mystery of, I don't know, like the, the Canadian wilderness. Um, I could be a mistake and I really, I really want to look it up. But you know, you, you hear these stories all the time. And, um, for example, like someone's in the woods and they're looking at this tree or this bush. And suddenly this big foot just materializes out of it and just scares them runs away. There's a story I heard up in Manitoulin Island area, which is in Ontario, where, you know, someone was, um, on an ATV in the woods. It flipped over. They went to go search for them. They couldn't find them for a week or two. Finally, the guy comes out of the cave. He comes out of a cave in the forest. And he's got like broken leg and all these things he's found. And they said, you know, what happened to you? He said, well, I woke up and something took me into the cave. And these little people, these little things, they fed me, they healed my leg like they fixed it up for me and they got me better to, to leave the forest. You know, it's like, you hear stories in Canada like this all the time. And you can go search for them. You'll never find them. But what again, this whole concept of the spirit of nature that maybe there's this intelligence that can manifest and literally manifest and walk into our world to do a task and then go back into the eaters. Yeah, like, like, not unlike Jacques Vallet sort of control system idea where we're dealing with some intelligent omnipresent force that can, for whatever reason, it deems necessary interfere at certain key moments in time and sometimes to just even, you know, I know Grant. What's his name? Cameron? Yeah, Grant Cameron. Grant Cameron has, you know, the theory of wow and sort of that it manifests in order to inspire us or in order to, yeah, sort of create that wonder in still wonder in us. I think it's the same thing for having these out of body experiences. And you know, when you were telling me your story, but like the backwards version. Yeah, it's almost like, because remember, I never asked for this. I wasn't looking for it. And it happened. And when the phenomenon happens to a person that wasn't expecting it. Yeah, it's like, you have just shattered their reality. You shattered their life. Like, my old life ended that day because it was like, I saw something grander. I couldn't explain. And because of that event, that one event in my life, it now put me on this completely different path, you know, meeting new people, researching new things, going and exploring these worlds. That would never have happened if something didn't put me into sleep paralysis. So, you know, when you were saying, at first, I thought that shadow was a very negative thing because it was putting me in sleep paralysis. I was fearful. I felt terror. What if that was just all coming from me? And that whatever that thing was, I call it now I call it the initiator because it's like, whatever that thing was, it put me on a new path. It's like, once I left my body, it was like, it's task was done. And then I didn't see it. Again, like that. Oh, interesting. Or like a gatekeeper. Yeah. Perhaps just someone guarding the body. The shadow people do come up quite frequently as well. Have you ever ran into them since then? Oh, yeah. Yeah. I see them quite often. But again, I don't know exactly what they are. And I think that they're actually living people, a lot of them. Not dead people, living people. Oh, other people exploring. Yes. Whoa. I think that there's other, I think it's part of us. And I think it's also wounded parts of us because I've had experiences. And again, I'll go back to like this kind of shamanic philosophy where it's like, let's say you go through a trauma. They say that the soul itself is shattered when you go through certain traumas. And that hurt piece of you. It now creates its own aggregate, basically. So that that energy of yours is now separated from you and it starts to grow. So it grows from, let's say, emotions or thought forms or reliving those memories of that hurt in that pain. But it lives outside of you, but it's connected to you. So you might be attacked by these shadows and you're pushing them away and pushing them away. And it might actually be a broken part of yourself that used to be you. And it wants reintegration. It wants healing. But you're scared. You have no idea what this is. And you're trying to fight this thing off of you. You know, would that make, would that make the phenomenon then to a certain extent psychological? Like deeply, like what we're dealing with is perhaps just a projection of our own psychology. Or others. Do you think there's an objective reality there? I really do think there is. What makes you believe that? Just from learning about different native shamanic cultures and even going back to ancient paganism as well, these are very old belief systems. And it included this kind of spiritual understanding of nature and spiritual understanding of ourselves and knowing that we are more than the physical body. And, you know, this is where ritual magic came from. It was understanding energy, understanding this self, understanding how to build that energy. Like you were talking about the agrogor, for example, you know, a bunch of people putting their energies towards it, giving offerings of energy to keep feeding this thing to grow it and then giving it tasks. You know, this is old, old stuff. Yeah. But then we kind of get into the place of the last couple thousand years where it's like it's demonized and for good reason for a lot of it. But it's also kind of been erased from us. Why do you say there's a good reason for it to be demonized? Well, I can say that a person that knows these things, knows how to use these things, has an advantage over people that don't know these things. I see. Okay. I see what you're saying. So like the manipulation of reality. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. And that's demonized. Well, we're not supposed to know about certain things. And if we don't understand it, how can we protect ourselves against it? How do we build our own energies to understand the difference between something, you know, that's attacking us? You know, a lot of people go through things and, you know, this is not medical advice, but, you know, there's some people that, let's say, they have certain thoughts that come into their mind or certain triggers that keep getting pushed. And, you know, what if this was like a spiritual kind of parasite that continues to push these buttons on you to extract energy? You know, so this is their goal. So they want to suck you. Yeah. It's almost like trying to keep the human in a perpetual state. Whatever that state is, obsession, addictions, sickness, keep them in a perpetual state so that they have access to you and your energy. And if we think that this is invisible and it doesn't exist, then we have nothing to fight against it. You know, and it just, it's just knowledge that will separate someone that knows how to deal with this and someone that doesn't. Interesting. Do you think that the ritual matters? Like, when it comes to these things, we're speaking about magic with a K here. Do you think that the individual sequences or steps to to be able to do some of these things? Do you think that they actually matter? Or is it the energy behind them that matters more? The ritual is extremely important to start. Okay, you have to, you have to build the structure of intention. All right, and the ritual is the continuation. It's almost like the muscle memory of the building of the action. Let me see. And then after all that,
you need the form, you need steps one through 10 to do it so many times that you now you become formless. - Okay. - Now you don't even need to do the ritual, it's almost like ingrained as like a spiritual muscle. - Interesting, 'cause I've given a lot of thought to that as well as someone who, you know, for 20 years being a professional magician, very skeptical about these things and yet completely intertwined with them at the same time. Like, everything from a magician's branding, you know, if you're a magician out there and you got a business card, it's like, you got the name, you know, oh, deception artist or like, it's ingrained in there. And then there's like pentagrams, there's all these like, you know, sigils and sort of signits and whatever that have these ties to Magic with the K. Like, I mean, the initial, the initial books on Magic were written, you know, they're 600 years old and they were about ritualistic magic. But how to sort of invoke these things through trickery and that's where eventually parlour magic came from was using the techniques that were used to fool people into believing the ritualistic stuff and using it for entertainment purposes and sort of creating that dichotomy and that separation between the two. Where now, the most ironically, the most disillusioned people are magicians like they completely don't believe in any of that stuff. They're incredibly skeptical that all the magic with the K stuff and they've completely separated the ritual for entertainment only. Where is now I'm starting to believe or at least I'm starting to, I don't know, my conviction level is a little higher than it was before on the idea that if you can trick the mind into believing something's real, that that is a key ingredient into these rituals and that's a key ingredient into creating these agriculture, creating these manifestations or apportations or whatever it is. Like, that's the ingredient for me. Would you agree with that or would you? I would say that suggestion is very powerful. Yeah, because you're getting the person then to go along with your energy so they've now given you access to their energy, to their life force where then they can now build this reality with you because they've already submitted to that suggestion. And again, this is, I don't know much about like the type of magic that you're talking about but I do know that if you go back to the Egyptian system, we have something called Ka, which is like the energy body. And that Ka is something that you take from life so you could take it from food, you could take it from the air, you could take it from the sun. You know, every time you're consuming something, you're taking that energy and you're satisfying the Ka within you, you're building this energy light body. And it's almost like, so there's, it's kind of like the matrix where it's like you're the battery and you can build so how strong is your battery? And the stronger your battery is, you could push and pull energy better. And this is also a concept in Shigong. Right. You know, so you have to build your energy body up. You have to strengthen your electromagnetic fields. You got to get the flow going, your connection to the earth and the sky. And then once you have this kind of energy, your suggestion level and what you can do with that energy is greater and greater and greater. - What's something that you would deem as an objective example that sort of proves any of this? And I mean, prove in a loose term, but like what would you point to? Would you point to a specific practice that brings you something? Would you point to something you've personally manifested in your life or how would you to someone who's dubious about these things, say no, here's an example of this working. - I would say that my favorites would be instant healing. So like kind of like a miraculous thing happens to you. And this has happened to me on a number of occasions and I'll tell you like just a very simple story. Because there was a time where I was doing personal sessions with people like doing like energy work in Chigong. And I was helping this man out to his car. This is an older man in a wheelchair. So I'm putting him in his car and I can slam the door on my middle finger. You know those times where it's like you slam the door and you pull your finger out and my nail was already black. Like it was that instant and it was just throbbing with pain. And I'm like, okay, I know I'm gonna lose this nail, right? So I'm like something clicks and it's like, okay, I need to like use my energy. I need, you know, I'm taught all these things. I need to like do it. - And you're teaching them. - Right. So I go into my room and I have all these different essential oils and I have all these different crystals. And I'm like, okay, and just I knew I had to pick up this crystal and I took, I just, I knew I had to take that oil and I put it on my finger and I put it on the crystal and I'm just breathing and what are my teachers used to teach me and I don't recommend this for everybody. I'll just tell you what they taught me. Is that the pain is the healing, okay? That was the key in this teaching there. Say the pain is the healing and never go away from the pain, go into the pain. Try to experience the pain as much as you can. All right. So that was what are the teachings that was given to me. And I'm like, okay, I'm gonna do it now 'cause my finger is just throbbing and pain. And I'm just breathing doing the Chigong breath and focusing on the pain in my finger and throbbing. And it's almost like, it felt like a hose open. It's just like this energy opened in my finger and it felt like hot air, like extremely hot air was like blowing out of my finger. I think that's exactly what it felt like. - Like a valve. - Just a valve opening up and like hot air just shooting out of my finger as. - Did you feel the pressure subside? - Yeah, and I never felt this before. This was like an energetic thing. I've never felt this experience before in my life. And I just like, okay, this is new. I'm like, I'm doing something. - Yeah. - And so then I go to sleep in the morning, I wake up and I look at my finger and it was, it had no sign of anything. Like it was black when I started in the morning, it was completely fine and there was no pain. And for me, that was like, I just witnessed a miracle. - Well, it was still black though. - No. - No. - No, completely gone. - No way. - Like overnight. - Well, overnight. Now, here's the, here's a stupid thing. And this is stupid just because it's me is that I should never play football, right? - Yeah. - Literally a week after this instance, my friend says, let's throw the football around. So we're in the backyard, throwing the football around. And you know, it's a real football. And it's, you know, spiraled. And again, it hit the same frickin' finger. - Right on the tip. And I think I, I don't know if I didn't get a check. I don't know if it was broken or not. All I know is the finger blew up to about three fingers. Like it was that bad and that swollen and I couldn't move it. And so I did it again. Grab that crystal, grab that oil. I'm like, it worked last week. I did it again and the exact same thing happened. This thing opened up the pressure released. But the next day it was still there. It was much better. But it took like three days, instead of overnight. - Wow. - And then I'm like, okay, who's ever guiding me or teaching me, I've learned my lesson. I don't need to be heard anymore. - So what did you feel when you were like going towards the crystal and the oil? Like did you just unconsciously this one and this one? Or was there like a pole? Did you feel something? - Well, it's like an unconscious pole. - Okay. - It's like, I don't know why I chose those crystals. And I just knew that that was the one. And if you knew me back then where I lived, my room had, I think a crystal on every shelf. So there's probably hundreds of crystals to choose from. But I went right in on one of them. And I had a, sorry about that. And I had a display of about 50 different essential oils. And I just was like, I need this one. So yeah, I don't know why I picked those two, but for me, it just made sense. - And you think that mattered versus the other ones. You think that was the specific ingredient or was it again more the intention? - I don't know. - Right. - I don't know. It could have been both. Could have been suggestive. I don't know, but remember, I'm in a panic mode. - Sure. - I'm just running right, like I didn't, I kept a straight face to the guy. - Yeah. - I was just like, all right, goodbye. And I ran in and just did what I had to do. 'Cause I think that, you know, we often talk about this term scientifically as like a placebo effect. And then explain it away with that, like that's some sort of satisfactory answer to the problem. Placebo is magic. Like it doesn't make sense, it shouldn't work, right? Like we agree when you have clinical trials and people have, are given a placebo and all of a sudden are feeling or actually doing physically better.
which, you know, I think there's proof of this, I mean, to just chalk it up to, oh, that's just placebo. That's how the mind works. Like, for me, that isn't satisfactory. Like, there is something happening where suggestion is powerful, like, extremely powerful. And so this is why I would ask the question, does the ritual matter? Does the specific ingredient matter? Does that crystal matter? And I think it matters if you believe it matters, if that makes sense. Like, if you have a strong enough belief or even faith or knowing without knowing that this will work, then that's the ingredient that you need. Do you know, do you kind of understand what I'm saying? I would say that the mind is the most important ingredient. It's like, you have to focus your mind on the outcome and the goal. And I think this is part of the magic as well. So, you know, just a simple thing. Like, when I was in the hospital, I actually broke my back before. So, in 2007, I broke my back. And so, I'm in the hospital. That's not too long ago. No. Well, what happened? I fell down some stairs. Oh, my gosh. Okay. But not this way. I fell sideways. Yeah, it was dark. That's not how you go down stairs. I would not recommend it. And it's funny because like, I've hurt myself in the past a lot. And when I was at the bottom of the stairs, I just thought I was wounded. I was like, oh, it's okay. I just need to get my breath back and I'll get back up. And, you know, my wife is like, don't move and we're calling the ambulance and all this. Thank God she did. Because me, I would have just tried to get up. But in the hospital room, I didn't ask her to do this. But my wife, you know, she, there was this whiteboard that you can write on and she wrote, I get stronger every day. Just simple, like a simple message. And a lot of people, you know, when they go through like a traumatic thing in their life, a life changing thing, it's very easy for the mind to go dark. It's very easy to say, look, I'm going to give up. I'm never going to do this again. My life is going to change. You can't have your mind go there. You have to like set your mind into goals. Like, and I know it's hard to say, maybe there's people watching, they'll say, well, my situation is very hard to think that way because of these things that I carry. But even if you carry some really bad things or you've been dealt a really bad hand, you still need to keep that mindset going. Like, I was telling you earlier, I go to Japan quite frequently. And it was like a week before I was going to go to Japan. So I had to cancel my trip. And, you know, speaking to my friends in Japan, I said, listen, the doctor said that, you know, three months, I'll start feeling a little better, you know, after the surgery, I have two RAWs and 10 screws in my back. And so I said to my friends, like, this was like right after the accident, I said to my friends, don't worry, just set the date. I'll be in Japan three months. You know, so I was already in my mind, convincing myself that I'm going to be in Japan at three months. You know, and I was. And that's what helped. That made the difference. Yeah, that makes sense to me. That that type of strong conviction about things, you know, you don't have to look further than someone saying, I'm going to fail this test. I'm going to fail this test. I'm going to fail this test and the other person being like, I'm going to pass this test and watch the watch them both fulfill their own prophecies. They are self-self-fulfilling prophecies. And we do that regularly every day. Everyone listening now can point to someone in their life who has one of those two things either this person who's like, I'm just unlucky or this other person who goes through life feeling like they're the luckiest person alive. And both of their lives sort of unfolding accordingly. And so yeah, it is a, and that's really nice, your wife to put that up in writing, because I think that's probably something that you needed to read at that moment. Very cool. I want to go back to some of the beings that you encountered. We veered a little into the dark guards of magic here, but I do want to talk about them a little bit more because I think there's an interesting intersection between euphology and the study of consciousness in regards to out of body and astral states. The entities are often mirrored. They're often talked about in both cases. But one thing also is with abductions, many, many, many, many of the abductions. I would say possibly a vast majority. I don't know the exact number, but it feels like a majority of the abductions of the, the takings are happening in the non-physical, where the soul body is sort of pulled out of the body and through the wall, that these beings themselves run through the walls, and they are also non-physical. What's your take on that? I feel like I'm talking to myself now. Yeah, because this is what I've been saying forever. Ever since I learned about this, and there's this writer, his name was Bob Mitchell, and this is the conversations that me and Bob would have, because he was documenting experiences of abduction. That was his thing. You really liked taking down, he was a journalist. So he took down everybody's story that had abductions. And when he heard my story, and I was saying, okay, this is like your consciousness is being taken out of your body, and because you've never had this experience before, it's so real that, of course, you think you're taking physically, 100% you're taking physically, because you don't know the difference if you've never done this before. And I said, okay, Bob, listen, tell me in all your cases and journalism of all these cases, let's do like a one to ten. What happens in their experiencing of abduction? And they go, you know, well, at first they get woken up, let's say, in the middle of the night, they feel like their body is frozen, they can't move in their bed. I'm like, okay, let's keep going. They may start to feel like a buzzing or a warm sensation. They may hear like metallic sounds, and then there's like a separation. It's like the now they're floating above their bed. I'm like, okay, and now they go either like a white light comes in or they get taken through the windows or the walls, and now they find themselves in a ship, and there's beings. I'm like, okay. Now, let me write down exactly my out of body experience. Yeah, I can see where this is going. You know, and it's like exactly from one to ten, almost exactly the same as someone that's documenting their own abduction scenario. And so for me, I came into this from the shamanic background, the spiritual background. So when I was having these experiences of altered states, I knew they were altered states. I knew what I was entering into. I knew that my body is sleeping in bed, my consciousness is separated, and now I'm having these experiences. Whereas someone that is having these experiences where they're not aware, it's very terrifying, it's very real. What I found incredible is that in my own personal out of body states, is that I've come in contact with, again, beings that are described in abduction scenarios. So I'd come across those mantids. I'd come across those grays. I'd come across those reptilians. I'd come across them. And in my journeys, I'm like, wow, this is an out of body experience. So it was like a mystery being solved for me. And I'm not discounting any physical things, whatsoever. I'm not discounting anybody else's physical experience. Yeah, of course. But I'm saying from my perspective, I came from it from the altered perception. And funny enough, people that go on shamanic journeys that do plant medicines, like ayahuasca, or peyote, or mushroom ceremonies, or they know what they're doing. They're going on a journey. They're taking these plant medicines, and they find themselves where being taken to the UFOs. It's the shaman. Their friends will be right with them on the ground, singing their songs, or putting sage around them, and saying, you're doing great. And here's a bucket to throw up in. But in their experience, they're not there. They're on a ship. Sometimes they're being operated on. They're being healed. So we have to kind of, we can't ignore that. No, there's a correlation to be made. I definitely think. And that's one of the reasons I want to bring it up, because I think that there is so much crossover. Now, like you said, that doesn't discount the physical stuff. More importantly, I think once people, especially people who are a little more, let's say, materialists, or less inclined to look into the esoteric stuff, they would be quick to say, oh, sleep paralysis got it done. We're out of here. We solved it. It's sleep paralysis. That's what you did. Oh, you saw aliens sleep paralysis and they just brush it the entire thing off. And that's what I'm always trying to like explain to people who might be a little more skeptical is that, well, perhaps there's more to that sleep
paralysis stuff that you might think, you know, brushing off something as sleep paralysis is easy, especially if you haven't had it, just like one of these encounters or an out-of-body experience or even some type of Kundalini experience or breaking through on DMT, like all of these things are easy to brush off if you haven't had a firsthand experience with them. And so explaining that to someone who hasn't had it is, as I looked at the time, by the way, it was 1-1-1-1-1, very fitting. It's like the first time I looked at it, too. Yeah, I think there is definitely a correlation, but that shouldn't stop us from studying, you know, what is going on? Like, why are we seeing the same beings? You know, some people will say, it's all in your mind. It's just a hallucination, and I go to them, I know, it is all in my mind. It's all in your mind, too. Yeah, everything's all in the mind. We're all taking it and putting it together through our own filters. And we're trying to make sense of our reality. And our reality is a trip. Yeah. Just when you actually look at who we are as a species, where we are on earth, where we are in space, if we keep going and going and going, you realize this is nuts. How do we even exist? This is magic that we're sitting here and talking. Yeah. It is magic at the same time. There's a part of me that feels like this is incredibly primitive. Do you know what I mean? There is something miraculous that we're sitting here making vibrations with vocal cords and that you're picking up what I'm saying and instantly translating it in your mind and it makes sense to you, but it's so slow. It's not the, it's not the, I don't know, when you have these dreams or when you have these experiences, there is a knowing that happens a noesis or like there is an understanding that, careful, if you do this, this will happen. And it's instant. You don't have to put words to it. You don't have to be told anything. It's just a knowing and it's just a, this, this almost seems to be like the slower modality in terms of communication that we found. Well, you know, they keep saying we're spiritual beings living in a physical body. Right. And if that's the case, then we are already telepathic. We already know the future. This has already happened. We've lived thousands or infinite lives. You've been through time and space. So maybe this is just like what we're experiencing now is just like the tiniest little seed of that spiritual consciousness is being placed in this body to have this experience and being here for this amount of time. You grow that kind of spiritual being from this little drop in the sea to maybe like a glass of water. And then it gets poured back into the ocean. Right. You know, it's just we just are experiencing this right now. And this is another thing you learn in the out of body experiences. It's also what you learn on ayahuasca and all these other plant medicines. And it's the dissolving of boundaries. All right. And the best way that I could explain dissolving of boundaries, what is a boundary? You could say our body is a boundary. So we exist within our body. We exist within our mind. Right. So we identify as this thing here. I'm Jason, your Chris, like we identify as these two individuals and we're having this life. Now what if we dissolve that boundary? Who are you now? So now you've lost your body. Now you've lost your mind. Where does that consciousness kind of escape to? What's that next boundary? What is catching you next? And in these experiences, if you do want to go deeper and deeper and deeper, it's almost like you kind of dissolve the boundary, dissolve the boundary until it's like, oh my god, it's like to oneness. It's just this consciousness, it's just this field. And you know, as we're coming down, it's like coming down through the dimensions is a good way of describing it. It's almost like it's just like a doorway. You come through a density as a doorway. You get this understanding or knowledge or body. And then you come down through this and you get this understanding. And when you when you pass or when you're going into these very deep states, it's almost like you're going the opposite direction. You're saying, okay, I'm going to leave this dimension. I'm going to leave this body and now I'm over here. Well, you know, I'm bored here now. I'm going to leave this and go out here until and then how do you explain that to somebody? Yeah. You know, you come back and you're like, man, I was everything. Good job. You wouldn't believe what I saw. No, absolutely. Have you ever heard of the flatlands Bob analogy? Yes. Yeah. So that kind of idea there where you take a, you know, if you appeared in the two dimension, like if I stuck my finger in a two dimension, they would just perhaps see a line appear or something and not the entire hand, right? And then if I picked them up and said, Hey, this is up. Explain to your friends what up is. And this two dimensional figure would be like, it's kind of like forward and backwards, except it's up and down. I don't know. I don't know how else to explain it. You know, there's there's no words that can describe that. It's like your experience when you said you tried to open your eyes and you saw the cube. Yeah. The energy is going around it. It's like, yeah, some tether act, some fourth dimensional object is all I can sort of say it is interesting when you think about those dimensions, though, because like I can, I can draw a representation of a three dimensional object in two dimensions, just like we can create a representation of a fourth dimensional object in the third dimension, which is like a tesseract. And it's just hard for me to comprehend that I'll never be able to see a fourth dimensional object or sort of to perceive a fourth dimensional object in the fourth dimension. I can only ever stare at it just like this little two dimensional cube and just have an idea of what a fourth dimension could be like, but I could never, but I can reach into lower dimensions in my existence and understand what the third, the second, and the first dimension are. I have a very faint grasp on what the fourth dimension could be. But, you know, above that, you have no access. Right. And I think that's also when we leave and do these experiences, the brain has to process that information. So it needs to kind of create those archetypes, create those scenes or those beings for you to integrate whatever you just went through, which could be very traumatizing or very hard for a lot of people, like especially in the shamanic journeying, you know, a lot of these journeys is like animals will come and rip you to pieces and eat you. And then you get reassembled and you wake up like a new person. Well, is that actually happening to you? I don't think so. But that's the way that it's interpretive. It's like a shamanic language of dissolution and then coming back together. So yeah, you go death or whatever. Yeah. So we can't understand it. But again, I think, again, with the whole concept of boundaries of dissolving boundaries, it's like every time you hit the next one, think of it as a container or your next body or next thing. And it's only in that body that then you can experience that fourth dimension experience. Like I know like with astral travel, you know, people will explain astral travel as there's no space or there's no time. So there's different laws of physics or something different about that space that allows you to let's say jump to other timelines or alternative timelines or jump from one location to the next either through a portal like you've experienced in virtually no time. You could have crossed time-space dimensions instantly. You know, so the laws change, the rules change as you enter into these different states. Do you think there is a substrate in this reality that is fundamental across all dimensions? Can you explain that a little more? So like we might consider it like zero-point field or the quantum field or the vacuum as this sort of omnipresent fundamental thing that exists across all dimensions. Like this might be the primary fundamental thing, dimension, if you will. And then like built upon that is like this, this secondary reality, which is like our physical reality, right? But we have to use this to build this. Do you think across all dimensions there is a fundamental substrate? Yes. Yeah. And the only word I can call it is the void. From my understanding up it, it's like the only way I could describe it is kind of like an old Egyptian creation myth, you know, where the void is kind of like the dark cosmic waters, so the god nut. And it's just darkness, chaos, there's nothing to it, but this is like the turning of creation. And then once that spiritual form has awareness, it separates from it. And it becomes the light. And because of that light now exists, it shines in this
mound of earth comes up. So it's building this creation, this reality, and from those two aspects rising out of this darkness, suddenly now creation can be born and materialized in different ways. So it's almost like you're drawing. It's just kind of like this stepping stone of from this underlying something. And it's funny because when I say this underlying something, that's who me and you are. Sure. We come from that. We return to that. We never were in it right now. Yeah, it is everything. It is everything. But it's how do we experience it? Like I know, I'm not delusional. I know I can't stick my hand through this table right now. You know, there are laws that govern this world. But then again, it's like the laws that govern this also govern other things. And that's why I said that I think that as we transfer through different dimensions or different altered states, these laws do get changed. And that's why in the out of body experience, you know, you could pass through the walls no problem because maybe you and it are just a projection. Yeah. Yeah, it's a mind-boggling thing to think about. Now, often think about it in the face of sort of trying to explain away, you know, our reality and what it is. Like if you look at, if you take the material, the materialists take of it would be, you know, the brain exists and the brain makes consciousness and the brain project things. And that's you're perceiving things because of the brain. And we're, you know, where I think that is just completely false is that we seem to agree that like there is a quantum vacuum of the void or whatever it is, even science agrees that there is something, right? That everything is made of, that everything is attached to some web, some cosmic web or whatever. But the thing is we're trying to take this secondary reality, this physical reality that we live in. And we're trying to box this, so it fits here. You know what I mean? We're like making a physical box and being like, this is what everything's made of. And then we're assuming things and based on those assumptions, we make formulas that that that turn out to be correct in our mathematics so that it proves, you know, quote-unquote that that is what reality is is that, oh, that's all it is. It fits in this three dimension and now we understand it. I feel like it's impossible to do that. You can't take something that's fundamental, have the offshoot of that fundamental thing that the whatever this offspring is here that we live in and fit that into what we call reality. There's no way. How can you blow out a candle through a mirror? Yeah. You know, it's like, it's like where the reflection of something and we're trying to hold on to the thing that's making the reflection. But you can't because you're behind this pain of glass. You know, so it's very difficult to kind of wrap your mind around it. Yeah, that's like somebody without ears telling me based on numbers what music is. And it's like, you know what I mean? And you're like, you can't fully appreciate music. I think if you don't hear it, you sure you can have an understanding of it and there is a math to it. Absolutely. So you can make your formulas and you can prove that, you know, the octaves are there and like, everything has to follow a certain rhythm and flow. And yes, but without hearing it, how can you possibly understand it and how can you fit it into this box of mathematics? There is a whole other dimension to music that has nothing to do with math. And that is the interpretation of the sounds and how they make you feel and everything else. And I'm sure there's a math to that. But there is this dissonance between the two that we seem to ignore or, you know, just for the sake of our own sanity, you know. Yes. Yeah. And you know, you're talking about music and I'm a music guy. And the secret to music is space. As in, you know, the silence between the sounds, you know, you need both. And I think this is what we're talking about. Do you have to kind of experience both this in and out type of breath to understand these things? So again, it's like, it's the same thing as like philosophers and ancient times for trying to explain the inexplainable. Right. You know, and we can package it and package it and say, I figured it out. Here it is. Here's the formula. I'm not going to sleep now. Here's the head bows on. It's done. Like, pop your champagne. We figured out reality. No, it's like, it's almost like when you look out into space, for example, now with the telescopes that we have, we know that it's like, I would say it's like infinite. Like our mind can't even accept the scale of what the universe says. And is this the only universe? And then you have dimensions within the universal structure. So there's such a grandness in scale. And the thing is when we turn it around and go to a microscopic level, you keep going and going and going, you're like, wow, this is like never ending as well. So we're like kind of like in this middle place between scales, just like the music scales. And we're just experiencing this tiny little vibration of creation. And as we go this way or this way, it doesn't matter. It's, it's infinite type of experience. Yeah, beautifully said. Yeah, there is a, as above so below, it is infinite in both ways. And if you zoom in or zoom out far enough, it starts to look awfully, you know, similar. And that's why I've throw it at the towel. Yeah. It's like, you know, how much more can you try to figure out? I'll just tell this, this one thing is that because I spent years, it years of like meditating, trying to find these, or fine tune these ideas. And I got this, this message. And it was, you need, you can't live your life between four walls. It's like, because that's what I was doing. I was sitting in my room and meditating between four walls. And I'm thinking I'm going to figure out life. No, you need to get out, you know, talk to people, you need to experience things, get out, stop what you're doing. It was a pretty strong message. And I'm like, but I'm meditating. I'm going to find the secrets of creation. They're like, not in your bedroom. Go outside, get some fresh air. Yeah. Yeah. I, that's, I completely agree with. It's, it's, it's an epiphany that I had myself after my last out of body experience was, you know, I'm on this journey trying to use my body as a microscope, you know, to look inwards and to be like, okay, what can I discover about the universe and the answers and the answer to life, the universe and everything, so to speak. And when I got this sort of semi confirmation while I was meditating in broad daylight and seemingly left my body or felt that way without falling asleep, completely lucid, walking around my room, you know, afterwards I was very excited about that. And the thought popped into my head of, okay, there is more than my physical body. There is more to life, to reality, to this existence than my physicalness. And that was, that was a sort of proof. And that might not be death. That might not be what comes after. It might be an extension of this. I don't know. But it was more than my physical reality. Whatever that is, it was non-physical and it wasn't this. And I thought, you know, so many people, when they go, when they go out of body, a lot of them, it happens during like a near death experience. And they're floating, they see themselves same symptoms. And so I said, okay, there's a correlation between these two. Like there is something here between the astral and out of body states and near death and dying. Like there is a correlation here. So I just asked myself, like, well, what's the hurry then? What am I so in a rush to die for? Why do I want to know what death is like? I'm going to get there. I promise you. I will get there. That is, you know, the only certainty in this physical existence that I can promise myself is that I'll get there. But now I can ask myself, like, why am I trying to get there all the time? Like, you know, if this body is some type of container vessel, meat suit for the soul that we incarnate into, if that is the case, then giving up instant manifestation, eternal reality, the most [BLANK_AUDIO]
beautiful existence of all knowing and you can travel anywhere and have everything. Giving all that up to be here in this transient little, you know, moment, that has to mean something, right? That's the message I got is, you know, everybody, from my perspective, it was like, you know, the whole point is this kind of ascension idea where it's like, I'm going to expand, I'm going to get into this oneness states, I'm going to be with God and everything. And the more I started to go down that road, the more it was turned the other way, was more like, you're here. That's the point. It's like, this is you normally. Yeah, right. But now you're here and this, you need to, to get healthy, you got to figure stuff out, you got to change your tires, you got to pay your taxes, you know, you got to have relationships, you got to talk to people. Yeah. You have to do these things and this is where the, the spiritual fulfillment will, that you're looking for will actually manifest and come from. And so it was, it was an interesting turnaround, but you know, you go, it's the same thing with life. You go one direction, you think you're going to find something in this direction and you realize it was already over there. Yeah. You walked away from it. Yeah, but you had to walk away to realize it. Yeah. Yeah. Well, but. So you've obviously had, you know, a ton of out of body experiences. Now you've met entities, you've interacted with them in different ways, interacted with different realities, essentially in different ways. Have you ever come across, because there's a lot of out of body experiences that say that they had a job to do in the astral, which is like helping people move on. Well, I'd press and den it here, who's, you know, saying, yeah, it's like you're just recruited once you go out of body and to have these jobs and to like help people. Has that ever happened to you? At first. Really? At first. Like this is stuff that happened like right near the beginning of things where it was like, you'd be taken out of body and you'd be with like a group of people and it's like you're going to witness somebody die. No way. Yeah. Like I don't know this person, but maybe they know me, like I don't understand it, but it's almost like you call to help through transitions. I've been to some pretty weird ones. Like I've been called by aliens. I know it's a weird thing to say. That's the title of the video now. That's it. It's a weird thing to say because because that's the only way to describe it. It's like I had this one experience where I left my body and it was like this alien was like on the run. That's all I could, it was like it was being hunted by something and it was like hiding in like a cave. It looked like a desert and it looked like a like a tall gray alien, but it wasn't gray. It was like salmon pink color. Like that's. Sure. It looked like and it's like, why am I being called here and it's like this being whatever it was. It was like so scared. Like something was going to happen to it. It was going to get caught by somebody and it's being hunted and it's like, okay. I'm here. I'm with you. Like explain these say I don't understand these things, but this is what started to happen at these first like stages of of leaving the body. Whoa. It's like you don't ask for it. It's just like you you're just taken there. It's like you don't say I'm going to go now. It's like a job that you have to do. It's so strange. I wonder what that could be. Any ideas? Any hypotheses? I think that I think we played many roles just like valleys. The phenomenon has many faces. I think that we play many roles as well at different levels of understanding. So I don't understand it. Like I from my perspective as a human being, I don't understand it yet. Maybe I'll never understand it, but maybe it's like maybe when I came to for somebody's transition, maybe they didn't see me as Jason, maybe they saw me as an older relative of them from let's say another life or something. And that's who they recognize to allow them to make that transition. And transition is a very important word because that's what I feel the astral state is. It's kind of like this transitionary world between the spiritual and physical. It's like the waiting area. And it's like beings from different places to connect with you here in the physical. You know, let's just hypothetically say that there's someone you know on some planet and another universe. Well, how are they going to reach you? They're going to leave their body. They're going to go into this astral form. And this is kind of like the transitionary meeting place between these worlds, whether there is no time in space and you can have this interaction. And maybe when you do die, that's kind of the process. You go to this kind of transitionary place where you're met with beings that you're familiar with and they kind of get you familiar with this transition state. And then from that transition state, you travel to other places. That's an interesting way to put it as well. I know that Robert Monroe had something similar. I think he called it like the intergalactic cafe or something like that where he was like focused 19 or something and he would go to this place and he would meditate essentially sit down at this diner somewhere, maybe not unlike the diner we got here and wait for someone to come sit down in front of him and have a conversation. This is another being from another dimension or whatever, but they were coming and going through these different tubes or whatever, like some type of sci-fi, you know, Jetsons movie. But that is an interesting idea that this is just like a transitionary space that we can interact with. Or something that we can create because it's almost like a matrix or created reality that is like a dream scape. So think of it like this way. Let's say that there's a spiritual being or just, you know, let's say an alien for simplicity terms on another planet and they want to have a meeting with you, they want to talk to you. But instead of just sending you telepathic messages or channeling through you, you're dreaming and you get pulled from your dream state into this kind of like you say like a board room. And you're sitting so you're sitting at the table and across from you is this alien and it's like, okay, I'm in the matrix now you've created this matrix and they say, well, no, this is just the room that we've created in this space so that we can communicate with you. Right. And when we're done, this doesn't exist anymore. Wild. Yeah. Okay. And it's all in the mind. It's all in the mind. Everything is mental. It's all mental. Yeah. As it was at the first law of her metacism. Right. Um, okay, let's transition a nice way to segue here into your latest book. I do want to talk about this a little bit because I think that this is a rather fascinating. We've all heard about Atlantis and, you know, it's purported locations, whether that's the eye of the Sahara or whether that's, you know, somewhere in the ocean or, you know, you name it. And you've had done some research and found that maybe, maybe this isn't exactly what Plato was talking about. And can you go into it? I'm sure it's very complex, but if you could, if you could at least topically sort of cover it. Well, I'll make it very simply. Let's go to the source, which is Plato and Plato wrote two works. You're supposed to write three, one is called the Tymeas, one is called Critius and Critius is halfway complete. So out of three books, you have one and a half and you get the Atlantis story from the Tymeas, which is like introduced in the Tymeas. And that's the only full book that Plato wrote. And then you have, let's say like a half a book of the Critius, which details Atlantis. Now when you read the Atlantis story, there's a lot of, I would say, hermetic and ancient creation myth in there. And unless you know those creation myths, you won't be able to see them. And the way that Plato writes this story from Critius or so long is in a way a reflection of the universe. It's a reflection of the creation. And when I say this, and I know it is kind of complicated, but if you go to the actual story of Atlantis, it starts with Poseidon. He's gifted an allotment of land of earth. He's the God of the sea. On a central hill, there's an earth family, has a daughter. He falls in love with her. He comes down, he puts land in water, like a lathe, like circles of land in water around her to protect her. And he has children with her. So just starting from that standpoint, this is the beginning of the Atlantis story. Here we heard this story before of the gods seeing the daughter of Ban
falling in love with them, having demi-god kings. So then she has five twins, sets of twins, and the first born, they named Atlas. Now, who is Atlas? Why would Plato name this character Atlas? Well, in Greek mythology, Atlas is the Axis Monday. He is the titan who upholds the heaven, and that's why you see the statues with them holding the world, and they place the temple of Poseidon right at the center of the island. In the middle, there is an or a calcum, which is a sacred metal. It's a mythological metal, which is kind of reddish gold, a pillar directly in the center of the island, and then Atlas rules. Now, over time, they live in harmony, perfection, they navigate their naval power, and then they go to war, they get too much mixing with mortals, they become warlike, and then they're going to go outside their boundaries into the straits of Gibraltar, which is the pillars of Hercules. Now, here's the thing. They give a date very specifically in the Tiamayas and the Critias about 9,000 years, or it comes to 9,600 BC. If you look up in the sky at the northern sky at that time, the North Pole is directly in between the legs of Hercules in the sky. So the myth or the story of Atlantis mirrors the actual date and timing of the stars in the heavens, so it's kind of this as above so below story. And if you just turn back the clock slightly to when Atlantis would have been at its highest power, the pole star is Vega in the North sky. And so Vega is the brightest star in the North sky. If you go back 12,000 BCE, that star would have been so important for travelers because you need a North star, a stable North star to travel the world. You could only be a naval power if you have this star. And all the stars turn around it like as turns as a lathe. So it's kind of like this as above so below allegory of the procession of the North star over the 25,000, 26,000 year cycle. So that when when Atlantis was the power, they had this star of perfect reflection of Atlantis in the sky. As the time passed, they moved outside their boundaries into the pillars, which esoterically means legs of Hercules. So now the pole star is in between Hercules. And you have this cataclysm because there is no North star anymore. Right. You lose visibility. And then you go about 6,000 years of darkness. There's no North star for about 6,000 years until you hit thuben. So you have this loss of the world, loss of cosmic navigational understanding, the great flood, the great flood. It's like the deluge because it's the dark waters of space. It's it's all. And yes, of course, there's a reflection between the underdrius and the date. But there is this kind of cosmic story. And what makes us so intriguing is that if you go to the Taimaeus, which is the actual work of Plato, you have the Atlanta story that pops in just before Taimaeus speaks because the Taimaeus is basically Taimaeus' time. And he talks about the creation of the world by the bevelent demurege. And so right after Atlantis, he starts describing the creation of the universe. And he's saying, you know, he's talking about the circles of the same and the circles of the different, which is the the fixed stars and the wandering stars and the seven, the six circles that are divided into seven and then the eighth circle. And so he's talking about the creation of the universe describing it. And then critis comes in and talks about the creation of Atlantis. And if you take the image of Taimaeus talking about the creation of the universe, and you take the Atlantis story and you actually just merge them together, it's like they're describing that same circular pattern that Atlantis is shaped of. So I, there's so much here, and that's why I had to write a book about it. But basically, that these creation myths, the whole story of Atlantis can be found in other myths going back, just by it's almost like Plato took ancient creation myths and then he wrapped it and gave it a new name. You know, so when you actually read those quotes, it's very interesting because you have to know about Egypt. You have to know about the Egyptian creation myths. You have to know about the Odyssey. You have to know about 12 labors of Hercules. You have to know about all these different myths to understand the story of Atlantis because all of that existed at the time he wrote that. That is, so it's a lot for someone like me to fathom because you think to yourself like, well, why wouldn't you just say so, right? Why would you go through the trouble of concocting such a insane confabulated story, you know, to just explain the procession of the stars. And I asked you this at contact and you had a really good answer for this. Well, the answer would say you have to look at Socrates, which was Plato's teacher and Socrates was basically murdered by the state for basically affecting the youth with his ideas. You're teaching the wrong teaching about the wrong gods. So you couldn't really discuss these things openly and Plato observed his own teacher being murdered by Hamlock. And he knew that he's going to open the school. He's going to be an initiatory teacher. He's going to create these stories which are called likely stories. And by giving this kind of fable this myth, he's actually following a very long line of other authors in the past that create myths of the gods. But it's actually telling another story when initiated into this. So this is where we get into secret societies. This is where we get into the initiations in Egypt where the general public, if you could understand the story and the stories of good story, and he is great at making stories, this story will pass on for generation and generation. And it has exactly the way he wanted it. But you'd have to be initiated into these other orders in order to have the keys to unlock them and understand it. Yeah, to decipher them right. Yeah, that's fascinating because it really does for me provide a brand new context into how brilliant these philosophers were. You know, we use the term philosophers, the Greek philosophers. We say it so flippantly. I don't think we can comprehend how smart these people really were. It's really difficult for us to comprehend that. I don't know how he did this. It's, it boggles my mind. And the more I reread and reread, it's like, I keep finding more things. And I'm like, it just becomes obvious. It's like, once you have that key, it starts to become so obvious. And, you know, I'm not the person, like, people are historical. They want to find the island. And then people are, okay, this is a political allegory of moral, you know, and I say, that's fantastic. Beautiful. I'm not discounting either side. I'm saying, let's go deeper. Why did he, why did the, the priest tell Solon that, that Faiton stole his chair, his father's chariot and burnt the earth causing a catastroph by fire and that the world goes through these periodic cataclysm by water and fire. Why did he tell this to Solon before he told the Atlanta story? But then before he says the Atlanta story, the priest also says, you know, this story has a form of a myth. But what it really means is the declination of the stars of the heavens over long periods of time. So he's, he's basically telling you right before he tells you the story of Atlantis that this is a myth. And what it really tells you is that it's a story of the moving heavens. He says it right before he tells the story of Atlantis. And the story of Faiton is the destruction of the world by fire. The exact same theme is in the Atlantis story, but it's with water. And that's exactly what he said. There's periods of destruction with fire and water. And then now he tells the story of Atlantis. You know, so people, they hear the story of Atlantis. They want, they, we want the national treasure. We, they want to find it. But I'll just say like as well, they, the he says it's right outside the pillars of Hercules, which we know exactly that location on Earth. Okay. So he's given us the exact direction where it is.
He's given us the size of it. He says it's larger than Libya and Asia combined. Now, if you put those two places together, you're talking about a continent roughly the size of North America. We're talking about a big place. So, and if that went into the ocean 11,000 years ago, give or take, there's gonna be evidence of that. You're gonna see it, but we don't. It's completely not in that location. Unless you know, NASA and everybody's lying to us, which again, that's a possibility. Yeah. But so everybody will, we'll look at this, or look at the story of Atlantis and say he, they said exactly that there is an island. This is true, it's right here, this is the size. But look at the entire story, you know, 'cause if this is true-- And the why? I think that's important too. Like why would, why would Plato like shroud this story as a sort of map to lead you to like a lost civilization that doesn't seem like something Plato would do or these philosophers would do. They wouldn't say on a treasure hunt. You know, it seems like something Hollywood would do or like, you know, like a national treasure movie. I would love to see it, but in terms of philosophers, those guys were imparting knowledge, like math and science and astronomy and that type of thing. The thing is, it's the same thing with the republic where they're trying to find the ideal society. And it's almost like, it doesn't matter what they choose, it falls apart, right? It's the same thing with life, it's the same thing with philosophy, it's the same thing with these cycles. And this is why the priest told Solon, it's about these cycles of the stars, the cycles of the heaven over long periods of time, because there is this destruction that will periodically have and every civilization will come to its fall. But then there's this time of recalibration and then there's this time where the society rises again. And it's like a new world and it matches these cycles. So this whole thing about hubris and arrogance and in my personal opinion, this hubris and arrogance is not about the ideal state. It's the ideal state of consciousness as in don't run around like a chicken with your head cut off because the world is ending. Understand that these are natural cycles that will happen again and again and again. And if you understand this, you're gonna be strong and you could lead. - So it's a lot to contemplate, you know, and we're finding out now thousands of years later that, oh, there are cycles. And oh, we're kind of at the end of one right now and like it feels like it might happen again. So it is timely that, you know, you sort of rediscovered this through a new lens. Has that, has the work that you've put into this? Has that ever been done before? Has anyone ever taken that approach to it? - Yes, Proklus, which is a five fifth century AD, he is in neoplatonists and he looked at the Atlanta story and he wrote a huge book. I think it's about two to three hundred pages, if not more, saying that the story of Atlantis is actually a celestial allegory of the cycles and the demi-erge and the creation, you know, and it's amazing, but this type of view maps it to the stars as well, so it builds off of that. So that everything that we're told could actually be seen in the sky. And it goes into this kind of area that a lot of people don't look into. It's called astro-theology. And astro-theology is kind of like taking a myth and putting celestial observations of cycles and seasons into the myths and the gods. And so you carry that through, but it's valuable information into it. So it's like you'll see, let's say the God-Shamesh, for example, from the Akkadian myths, the God-Shamesh, is the sun god. And when you see the sun god depicted in some of these tablets, he'll be holding, let's say, a knife and he'll have like heat rays coming off his shoulder because he's the sun, and then he might be standing next to Ishtar, and Ishtar, like the Virgin, she's holding the barley in her hand, and he's grabbing her by the foot with the knife and he has the heat. So what is, like, you're looking at gods here, but really it's kind of like the cycle saying, it's like the sun is now, it's the hot time of the year, and he's cutting down, he's harvesting the wheat. You know, and these are the stars that are in the heavens when this, you have to do this. So there's a celestial knowledge wrapped into the stories, even though we're not aware of those keys. - Yeah, it's not just fairy tales. There is their way of talking about science. That's how they did it. They did it through story, through fable and through tales. - Exactly. - Very interesting. Jason, I'm gonna go start the camera back here and we got some questions from the audience. - Let's do it. - All right. - We got a few questions here. Our audience always asks the best questions, and if you want a chance to ask them as well, you can become a member. - First question here from Guy says does government disclosure even matter if the real contact happens in the astral? - It will matter to some people. - Okay. - Because there are people that are waiting for this disclosure to happen and to appease whatever they need. But again, I think that the government does need to come clean. They do need to release something. They need to give something to the public because the public knows that there's something off. And being in this community for so long, you meet so many people that claim to be whistleblowers or insiders or contactees or abductees. And there's definitely something going on. I don't think we'll ever get the answer that we actually want. We will just get a story of something to appease the minds of a lot of people, but a lot of people will never be happy with those answers. But we'll let matter if it's in the astral, not really because you're dealing with a whole other beast. - Yeah, yeah, I tend to agree. I think a lot of, and this is something I get a lot of pushback on when I talk about, but I do think that to some extent answers aren't consequential. I think the only thing answers provide is the ability to ask a new question. And I think the new question is more valuable. And so to be able to ask new questions, that's what we're really after. And to do that, we have to get an old answer out of the way. But I don't know, I also think that, you know, let's say if the question is are we alone, right? If that is the question, if the answer to that is, that we're given is yes, we're alone, I'm not happy with that answer. I'm gonna keep asking the question until that answer becomes no, right? - That answer is scarier than anything they can give us. - Yeah, exactly. - That's the worst answer. - Yes, yeah. But if that is the answer, it's not gonna satisfy anyone. And we will keep looking until the answer is no, correct? So why don't we just assume it's no and move on? - Yeah, okay. - Well, they want the bodies, they want the craft. And yeah, but only I do believe this. And again, I'll probably get pushed back for that, but I do think it is only to satisfy a selfish need that we think will fill a void, which it will not. You get an answer, you're not gonna retire and be like, "Well, there we go, I can die now." Of course not, you're gonna have another question and guess what, that question will feel more important than the other one. - Yeah, it reminds me of like kind of like the old move on type of nuts and bolts stuff where it's like, they're just interested in the craft, they need to know without technology, they want to know what power is it because if they can get their hands on that power system, we can change the world for the better. And I think it was actually Cameron that said this, I don't know where he got it from, but he was basically saying that what happens if we give the world free energy today? You think we're gonna be better off? No, we're just gonna take more from the earth faster because now we don't have to pay energy costs and energy costs are the only thing that's stopping us from taking more. - Yeah, it's just well put, wow, I never thought of that. All right. - From JK Parts, which ancient technology best supports interaction with consciousness or the body's EM field and why? - Oh wow. At first, I was just gonna say churches, like the building, the architecture from the Masons, they knew how to build in harmony with very specific numbers and creating,
spaces that put you into contact and all their states of consciousness, just being in the building itself. The resonance too. Just the resonance. So there is like an art of architecture that you can build structures of creation or the vibrations and the sacred numbers and sacred geometry of creation directly into the structure that will resonate with you on a level that you're not aware of. So I would say that churches. Wow, it's a good answer. They're pretty powerful. Have they enhanced prayer as well in song? Yep, because remember again going back to music, reverberation. You create the space and as the sound reverberates around the walls, you're creating sacred geometry structures of sound within it. Yeah, and that is an exact science as well. I know a lot of people refer to the King's tomb in the pyramids as well as like if you other King's chamber rather and if you lay in that box and you start humming, it'll almost induce an out of body state. Yeah, I would think that's very, very powerful and the pyramid itself, if you look at the geometry and the qubits and how it's built with the chambers, you get these low frequency oscillations going through those chambers with the granite and the limestone. You are creating an electrical resonance field and the shape of the pyramid itself is a reflection of sacred geometry. Basically, it's the symbol of creation itself. That's an extremely powerful thing, but I thought that would be the number one answer everybody would expect. I think so. Yeah, because yeah, pyramids, triangles and all that stuff. The church is a good one and something I found out when I traveled to England recently was in order to be a city, you would have to have a cathedral. I didn't know that. That's why all these townships and they all have the cities. I'll have a cathedral. You wouldn't be considered a city if you didn't have one. I think this is a John Mitchell book where he talks about the sacred center and these building structures of cities and towns is that you would find the center where it's the most powerful place energetically through ley lines. Oh, like a ley line thing. What you would do is that you would find that space, which is the life giving space, then you would put your build your cathedral and then you would build the city around it. But that would be before our modern interpretation of what ley lines are. So they would have to, how do they measure that in that case? They would just feel it out. Well, there's like dozers, people that are sensitive. Yeah, witching rods and whatnot. Yeah. And there's also physical signs. Yeah. You know, like when you're looking at areas, it's almost like a sweetness in the air. There's water flowing. There's plants, abundance of life. Right. I see. It's like when you when you see an area that is just teeming with life. And then this is this is a good spot. Interesting. And then kill it. Wipe it out. Put it. Yeah. Yeah. Let's build something. All right. We got one last one here from slug. I believe that is his real name. Great question slug of everything in forbidden knowledge. What did you hesitate most to include and why did it make the cut? Oh my god. First of all, forbidden knowledge. That's the first book that I wrote with Bob Mitchell. And I didn't know at the time that people would even read that book. Okay. I thought and the problem with it being the first book and you know, someone's interviewing you is there's no filters whatsoever. So in that book, it's like there's there's names of like my teachers names of my friends names of my family. Like it's just said the whole book isn't overshare. And the so after people started reading it, I was like, oh my god. No. So I had to. And then also within the first couple of months of that book being out, Bob Mitchell also passed away. So we also had to deal with okay, now what do we do with his partnership and all these things? And what ended up happening was we worked with the family and we took the book away. And then I wrote astral experiences, which is a little more focused and not oversharing. But you have to remember also Bob Mitchell was the guy who was the journalist who loved taking down experience or stories and alien abduction. So he was heavily involved in UFO mythology. So in forbidden knowledge, it's a mix between my personal experiences, which I didn't hold back at all in that book. That was just nuts experiences. And then he would parallel it to other experiences in the UFO scene. So it has a very heavy UFO weight to that book. Whereas the new book, it's more just about the experiences. Was there ever an experience that you had that was just too crazy to share? Yes. What's one example other than the being a giant amoeba? Hybrid children. Really? Hybrid children that you were shown? Yes. Hybrid children? Hold on. Yeah. Really? Yeah. That stuff, I'm cautious about sharing. Because that is ever since I think Debbie Jordan, Deborah Jordan was one of the first ones that the encounters book that Bud Hopkins covered, Bud Hopkins covered, was one of the first times I think it was talked about this idea that they were presented with their hybrid children. And I've spoken, you know, I've sat across from many an experienced who's told me about these same things. What was that? Is that happening in the Astral? Is this on YouTube this part? Yeah. I mean, we can caveat it. We can put a big disclaimer here and say, you know, we don't know what this is. Well, it's like because you don't hear these things happening to mend. Yes. Peter Curry, he broke down in tears with what he was shown. I also have spoken to three other male experiencers off camera about this exact thing and they're known experiencers. Okay. Okay. So, you know, I think we've talked about enough crazy things. Sure. I'll share this. But just know this is exclusive. Understood. Okay. So basically, I was taken and I was like, I was in this nursery hospital type of thing. And this this like this nurse walks out. And it's like, I want you to meet your child. And this was like in my early 20s. Like, I don't have any children. I'm not with anybody. Human nurse. It's like a human nurse. And they they have this child. They want to show it be my child. And they show it to me. And it's like, it's like, it's like a half human, a half like, like it really looked like a half alien baby. And did it have a little bit of hair? Do have a little hair. And I was so angry. Like, I have this streak of anger in me, like with all these other experiences. But I was I felt so taken advantage of. I felt so angry that this happened that I felt I felt this like instant hate. Like, and I just like in my mind, I just like went to the child. I'm like, I want you to die. Like, that's the first thought that came to me. It's like, I hate you. I want you to die. Like, this is awful. And it's like the the child just kind of went limp in the hands. And then it's like, I'm back. Right. And I'm like, and I wake up and I have all this regret. And I'm like, why did I do that? Because it's more like in when you're in these out of body states, there's no like filter. It's like, it's so impulse. And that's what I really felt at that moment. Like, how can you do this? And so I had a lot of guilt. But then like a couple years later, I was taken back. And I'm back in the same place. And they go, I want you to see your son again. And it was a son. And they told me his name. And I saw him like walking. It's just a little guy. Didn't look like an alien at all now. He looked like a human. And came up and I gave him a big hug. And it was like this kind of reunion. And it was like, very beautiful. I said, I was sorry for what I did the first time. And that was it. It was very emotional. Because like, I have no idea what this really is. What was his name, if you don't mind me asking, Michael. Wow. Yeah. That's, yeah, that's so wild. Thank you for sharing that, by the way. I know it's not easy, because it sounds completely insane. And yeah, absolutely. But at the same time, I think it's important. And I told this to Peter Curry when he was here as well. And he had some wild experiences. One of which was that was, and he was actually told prior to the meeting, he goes, we're hesitant to show
you this child because how you might react to what it looks like physically. And because this child is excelling and doing really well at school and what they're doing, he's also very highly telepathic. And so he'll pick up on anything that you think. And so we're going to help you sort of navigate that interaction and like screen your mind tight deal. But he, you know, that was the same sort of reaction he had at first like, whoa, what the hell is this? And then that, how dare you do this to me. Yeah. So it's like the same thing I just said. That's what I'm saying. And like I said, I would share the other stories, but these are, you know, off off the record. Well, not even off the record. There's like off camera conversations I've had that say the exact same story that they were shown from other, this was from other grays. And it was like football head sort of half child's half or it was all child, but half human half gray, a little tough of hair, brown hair. And then the eyes were big eyes, but they weren't completely black like they had big pupils and, you know, big irises. And then a small nose at little tiny ears like there was a sort of in between. Yeah. That's what I was like clearly hybrid. Yeah. Yeah. When it was when he was older, he couldn't tell. Wow. Yeah, David Jacobs, you know, obviously would look into this a lot. And he had a whole sort of evolution going from he had five stages, stage one hybrid, two, three, four, five. And the five you would call a hubred, which was indistinguishable. But like as it would go on, you would see, you know, the change get more and more human. Yeah. I've been I've heard one thing from this that could be interesting for the people watching is what I heard was that this hybrid program, you know, a lot of people look at it very, very negatively, but they they're some of it is what I've been told is that these hybrids, they're made for other planets. So it's like a different environment that you can't survive in. So they need to kind of mix so that you could live here. So it's almost like seating other worlds. Yeah. Yeah. There's I mean, there's no shortage of theories. That's a theory that I want to believe. I want to believe that too. There is one theory that is essentially that I thought was really cool that I read doing one of these read-throughs, which was there is a defense system around the Earth. The spheres, you know, Patrick Jackson talks about it, but like there's like these like this white blood cell sort of defense system that operates, you know, using maybe advanced AI or something like that that prevents other beings from coming here that escorts them off planet, that zaps them if they get too close type deal. And so to be able to live here, you would have to change your DNA over time. And so you go undetected on this system, which I thought was, you know, pretty cool for as far as sci-fi book goes. I mean, it'd be a great story. So, all right. I think we'll wrap it up there. Jason, thank you so much for sharing all that. Thank you for, you know, I mean, your insights into the out-of-body experience, into Plato and Neoplatonism, and you know, let people know where they can find your books and where they can follow you. The easiest place to get my books is Amazon, and just look it up. My new book about Atlantis is called The Shining Island. I have a book called Astral Experiences, Gates of the Inanaki, and Astral Genesis. That's kind of like my evolution. Also, Qi Gong, I have Egyptian posters of Power Book as well. So I have a number of books on Amazon. You could find me on my website, thecrystalsun.com. And that has lots of crystals. Like I said, I work with Oralites 23 up in Thunder Bay, Ontario here. So I love sharing that type of stuff with people. Wonderful. I'll leave all those links below. Thank you so much, Jason, for joining me today. Thank you. [MUSIC]
Podcast Summary
Key Points:
Jason Quitt, a Canadian author and investigator, shares his experiences with out-of-body experiences (OBEs), which began with sleep paralysis episodes in the early 2000s.
His first OBE occurred through intense anger and thrashing during sleep paralysis, leading him to pop out of his body and encounter a shadow being resembling the Grim Reaper.
He developed techniques to induce OBEs through meditation, Qi Gong, and Monroe Institute-style tapes, emphasizing the importance of controlling emotions to prolong the experience.
Jason describes encountering various entities, including tall mantis-like beings, shadow people, and reptilians, often in non-physical states, and links these to abduction phenomena.
He discusses the concept of the astral as a transitionary space, where beings from other dimensions can interact, and where he has been called to help beings in distress or witness transitions.
Jason shares a personal healing story where he used crystals, essential oils, and focused breathing to heal a slammed finger overnight, attributing it to energy work.
He explores the idea of the "spirit of nature" and shamanic concepts, suggesting entities like Bigfoot may be manifestations of collective consciousness.
The conversation touches on the nature of reality, the void as a fundamental substrate, and the importance of living in the physical world rather than escaping it.
Summary:
Jason Quitt, a Canadian author and investigator, discusses his extensive experiences with out-of-body experiences (OBEs) on a podcast. His journey began in the early 2000s with frequent sleep paralysis episodes, which he initially found terrifying. Through intense anger and frustration, he accidentally popped out of his body for the first time, encountering a shadow being resembling the Grim Reaper. This event led him down a path of research, meditation, and Qi Gong, where he learned to induce OBEs deliberately, often using Monroe Institute-style tapes and breathing techniques. He emphasizes the importance of controlling emotions to prolong the experience, as excitement or attempts to control the journey often snap him back to his body.
Jason describes encounters with various entities, including tall mantis-like beings, shadow people, and reptilians, which he believes are often misinterpreted as physical abductions. He notes that many abduction scenarios mirror OBE experiences, suggesting a non-physical component. He also shares a healing story where he used crystals, oils, and focused breathing to heal a slammed finger overnight, attributing it to energy work and intention. The conversation explores the astral as a transitionary space for inter-dimensional interactions and the concept of the void as a fundamental reality. Ultimately, Jason concludes that while OBEs offer profound insights, the purpose of life lies in living fully in the physical world, not escaping it.
FAQs
His first experience happened during sleep paralysis, when intense anger and thrashing caused him to pop out of his body. He found himself on the ceiling looking down at his own body, with a tall shadow being resembling the Grim Reaper at the foot of the bed.
A common technique is to wake up early, stay still, and keep the mind aware while falling back asleep. Deep breathing and focusing on different body parts, as in Qi Gong, can also induce the sleep paralysis state needed to leave the body.
He encountered shadow beings, mantis-like entities, and other non-physical beings. The mantis beings were tall, made clicking sounds, and seemed surprised that he could see them, but he felt no bad intentions from them.
Jason suggests they share many similarities, such as feeling paralyzed, floating above the bed, and encountering beings. He believes many abduction reports may be non-physical consciousness experiences, though he doesn't discount physical encounters.
Jason thinks shadow people might be living people exploring the astral plane, or they could represent wounded, shattered parts of oneself seeking reintegration. They often appear as a gatekeeper or initiator, as his first shadow being did.
Jason shared an example where he healed a slammed finger overnight using a specific crystal, essential oil, and breathing through the pain. He believes the mind and intention are the most important ingredients, with objects serving as focal points.
