Experiencers are the Disclosure | Courtney Buterbaugh on Alien Contact, the Body, and Buried Memory
We’ve been wanting to talk to Courtney Buterbaugh since we first heard her on Robin Lassiter’s show Earth: A Love Story. Courntey is a lifelong experiencer and writer of The Unidentified Felt Object. In this episode, she tells us about her near-death experience as a baby, being bedridden for three years as an adult, and a scene in Disclosure Day that unlocked a lifetime’s worth of memory of contact experiences. She helps us explore why the phenomenon might land in the body before it ever reaches the mind, how memories can arrive as physical sensation, the purpose of screen memories, and the idea that far more of us are experiencers than we’d ever guess. If contact leaves a trace of physical feeling, can we use it to remember?Shownotes* “Experiencers are the disclosure”* Nuts-and-bolts problem* Why you can’t control an experiencer story* Gods, ghosts, and UFOs — all of it, all at once* Experiencers need a seat at the table* The near-death experience* Bedridden for 3 years* The first conscious onboard craft experience* A mark on her arm* Promise of healing* Memories from bodily sensation* The paper cardinal in Disclosure Day* Screen memories* “Way more people are experiencers than think they are”* “I’m the lab”* 25 years of practicing discernment through meditation* Somatic therapy* Phenomenology, a definition* Why feeling too much reads as “unobjective”And in the epilogue…* The UFO is a womb* Memory is useful, not accurate* Where did all the shamans go?

A Curry Demon, a Palm Reader, and the Internet's Deepest Conspiracy
Jordan and Mal are back from a longer-than-planned summer break with a revised format and a great story. Going forward, the show will be people telling stories about the things they were told weren’t real, recorded live on Substack. To kick us off, we turn the question on ourselves: Mal meets a street psychic, her roommate’s phone psychic is somehow involved, and the unexplainable smell of curry; Jordan follows a YouTube rabbit hole and holds forth on the idea that most of culture is the product of conspiracy, but no one is really in charge. We both end up wondering how you stay grounded when everything remains so stubbornly mysterious? Shownotes* New show format & Substack live recordings* What Mal & Jordan have been up to over the break * “Psychic pollution”* Julia Cameron’s The Artist’s Way* A psychic stops Mal on the street* The curry demon?* A palm reading and an upsell* Who’s holding the wheel of your life?* “The Internet’s Deepest Rabbit Hole”* Why “conspiracy theorist” might just be a psyop against people asking what powerful people do behind closed doors* The world is mostly mystery* Certainty is the enemy of anyone after the truth* The Michael Jackson movieAnd in the epilogue…* Why “Jesus” and “Christ” are bad words* Living more to avoid writing about writing* Atonement as empathyWant to come on the show and share a story?

Is Earth Alive? Gaia, Volcanoes, and the Will to Life
The Will to LifeWe’ve got a very special guest this week. You’re going to have to tune in to find out who it is.We’re covering a Ukrainian UFO video, Military-origin, recently declassified, filmed in May at 800 meters. It looks like an evil eye in a cloak. Mostly just an excuse to talked about how wrecked the whole UFO conversation is right now, like a force field of stink around a row of outhouses.Then on to happier things, like how volcanoes might be evidence of a planetary mechanism of homeostasis. Gaia? Sure. Anyway:* Surprise guest* A Ukrainian UFO video* “Filmed on a potato” quality* Why the UFO conversation is exhausting by design (here’s that essay, by Dr. Heather Lynn, about how the aliens-vs-demons question is a type of semantic warfare)* “Mr. Credibility weighs in” (re: JD Vance)* Peter Thiel and the evangelical framing apparatus* The porta potty force field* How the Joseph Smith story reminds Jordan of the current UFO conversation* The slough of despond* Whatever happened to quicksand?* Brother Richard, again, on every entity having something to teach you* The Debrief: a volcano with a built-in emergency brake* Why the Gaia hypothesis is useful* Homeostasis is the signature of life* Mars: dead. Venus: hellfire. Earth: alive!* “Don’t sh*t in the strawberry patch”* Strip mining the Appalachians* “Poverty is a societal choice. Food scarcity is a societal choice.”* Viktor FranklAnd in the epilogue…* What our special guest has been up to lately* Jordan’s insane commitment to 100 Essays in 100 Days* Advantages of the end timesSuccessfully maintaining homeostasis,Jordan & Tom (& Mal) This is a public episode.

God's Eye View - Quantum physics, daddy issues, and faith
Scientism to ScriptureTrevor was deep in the trenches of science—cellular biology, bioinformatics, a PhD in aging research, chasing longevity and the promises of the Human Genome Project. He bought the materialist worldview hook, line, and sinker. Until he didn’t.What started as intellectual disappointment in grand theories of consciousness led him through quantum physics, information theory, and eventually back to the Gospels in the Bible he once dismissed. Along the way: father wounds that shaped atheism, the surprising consistency of the Christian story, and a growing sense that the universe is far more alive than he’d been taught.This week we’re doing a crossover episode with the host of the God’s Eye View podcast to talk about leaving dogmatic scientism, why so many prominent atheists share similar childhood scars, how ghosts are hard to categorize, and what, if anything, UFOs and non-human intelligences might have to do with scripture. They also explore discernment, sacredness versus inerrancy, and why “love your enemy” really is the most radical idea in history.Highlights:* A decade-long decline from scientism* “science will fix everything” * Physical therapist, bioinformatics PhD, professorship* Trevor’s growing disillusionment with materialist grand theories of consciousness* Quantum mechanics, information theory, and physicists trying really hard not to talk about God* Hoping the Gospels are true* The correlation between father wounds and atheism* Patriarchy, healthy authority, and the revelations of fatherhood (we both have an 8 year old and a 4 year old* What are ghosts?* Anti-reductionism* UFOs/aliens: semantic slipperiness and possible biblical framework (angels, Nephilim, sons of God, ascending/descending beings)* NHIs have been communicating with humans throughout history — what does this say about sacred texts?* The false dichotomy that undermined 20th Century Mormonism* You can’t get away from the need for personal discernment* Sacredness and inerrancy aren’t the same thing* That time Kelly Chase said “Love your enemy” is the most supernatural statement in historyAnd in the epilogue…* A summary of Mormon cosmology* The only right way to judge a person’s faith* Why theological debate is boringWith skeptical hope,Jordan & Trevor (& Mal) This is a public episode.
