115 - Refractions of the Deep Self 52:34

18h ago52:34

52:34

Since the dawn of what has come to be colloquially referred to as the modern UFO Phenomenon, two very divergent aspects have emerged to create a situation that appears—on the face of it—utterly irreconcilable. On the one hand, this phenomenon is supported by evidence gathered in what we call “the real world”, that is to say “physical reality”. This…

114 - Seeping from the Periphery 54:27

1M ago54:27

54:27

UFOs & NHI operate at the fringe of human awareness. A key question is: why? Is this an indicator of an anti-human agenda? Or, might the very questions we're asking—framed by binary thinking—be leading us to miss the forest for the proverbial trees? Furthermore, what if the unquestioned axioms of the dominant Western paradigm make it the least like…

1:26:59

In this episode of Liminal Phrames, Darren/Exo and Nathan take the temperature of ufology and the disclosure process. Is the new political climate more transparent? How significant is Grusch's advising of Congressman Burlison directly? Does psionics make disclosure ours for the taking?

113 - Into the Subsuming Realm 53:33

3M ago53:33

53:33

Throughout the history of ufology, researchers have been attempting to make sense of both the technology and the nature of the intelligences behind the anomalous phenomena that have been observed and interacted with. Inevitably, those researchers have ended up looking to emerging human science and technology for potential understanding. And so, not…

112 - Humanity at a Crossroads 56:28

4M ago56:28

56:28

Throughout the course of this podcast we’ve been weaving together topics often discussed in isolation; topics including UFOs, psychic phenomena, and near-death experiences, among others. Research into these topics not only shows that they overlap–in terms of who experiences them and how they are changed as a result–but they also all point to a part…

111 - Contours of the Construct 54:57

5M ago54:57

54:57

Whenever we reach certain watershed moments within ufology, a whole new contingent of interested parties tend to enter the fray, after some new public revelation has convinced them that there really is a “there there’” after all. This happened en masse after a groundbreaking article was published in the New York Times in 2017. Another influx came a…

064 - The Colliding & Collapsing of Worldviews 1:29:33

5M ago1:29:33

1:29:33

In this episode, Darren/Exo and Nathan discuss the recent incursions, asking: is this NHI? And, if so, how might assimilation unfold if the intensity grows? And how might labels like "angels" and "aliens" collapse upon the encountering of a more expansive and integrated view of reality?

110 - Messaging the Anomalous 56:32

5M ago56:32

56:32

For those who have been involved in ufology for decades, the last few weeks have been particularly noteworthy. And that’s because what we’ve been seeing unfolding in our midst can best be described by a term reserved only for historical events involving a verifiable barrage of unidentified flying objects. The term in question is “flap”. And, withou…

7M ago55:00

55:00

In recent times, considerable focus has been on the march towards some form of official UAP disclosure.

107 - Of Expansion & Ascension 50:27

8M ago50:27

50:27

As we speak, both within ufology and within the segments of the political and public spheres that are beginning to wrestle with this enigmatic topic, we are seeing ongoing debate about how much the intelligences behind what we colloquially refer to as “the Phenomenon” should be framed as a threat–or at least a “potential threat”--or not. Some argue…

106 - The Alien & the Oversoul 45:09

9M ago45:09

45:09

Even as our modern mainstream society begins to grapple with the notion that non-human intelligences of a sophisticated nature are in our midst, piloting remarkably unconventional, and beyond next-gen technological craft, there is still a key component of this cultural conversation that is missing: and that is the consideration of the testimony of …

1
059 - Phenomenology & Demonology 1:29:44

10M ago1:29:44

1:29:44

The idea that NHI are demonic entities is seemingly ever-present in both ufological circles and even within the government. In this episode of Liminal Phrames, Darren/Exo and Nathan explore: How did we get here? How did the modern notion of demons arise to begin with?

105 - Technologies of Contact 48:52

10M ago48:52

48:52

While modern ufology has been a component of our cultural zeitgeist for decades and decades now, during much of that time it has generally been seen as a matter for astrophysicists and aviation experts. While ground-breaking researchers such as Jacques Vallee, John Keel and J. Allen Hynek, as early as the 1970s, suggested the anomalous and highly s…

43:57

Beginning with the revelations that arose in a now famous 2017 New York Times article titled “Glowing Auras and ‘Black Money’: The Pentagon’s Mysterious U.F.O. Program”, and further brought to light with the allegations made by former military insiders like Luis Elizondo and David Grusch, the general public is being slowly acclimated to a reality t…

103 - Communal Confrontation 54:00

12M ago54:00

54:00

When we take the time to look back at the history of the UFO phenomenon in popular culture, perhaps no book has had an impact greater than Whitley Strieber’s groundbreaking 1987 work Communion.

1y ago50:38

50:38

Seeing the matter of UAP, or, as they have more traditionally been named: UFOs, unidentified flying objects, move through the halls of Congress, apparently towards some kind of official government disclosure, one might assume that what we’re dealing with is the rather clear cut matter of alien beings arising from elsewhere in our vast galaxy, visit…

101 - Return of the Sky People 54:27

1y ago54:27

54:27

When it comes to the intelligences behind the UFO Phenomenon, a certain group of repeating players tend to draw most of the attention.

100 - Odysseys into the Beyond 50:23

1y ago50:23

50:23

In our modern, technologically sophisticated world, it is something of a wonder that a medium such as the podcast continues to thrive.

52:46

Those familiar with ufological lore, and especially how it ties into our deep religious history, will tell you that UFOs have been around for as long as we have, and perhaps even longer.

1+ y ago46:39

46:39

While the notion of extraterrestrial life has long captivated the public imagination, certain expectations regarding how such life might interact with us have also proven problematic.

48:29

Over the last 12 months or so, those associated with ufology have seen their excitement level around the matter of official disclosure reach a fevered pitch.

53:38

As our civilization continues to skate at the very edge of a new era of widespread public disclosure around the so-called UFO Phenomenon, there still exists a striking incongruence between what is being discussed in government and media, and what is understood to be the nature of the entire enterprise for those colloquially known as “experiencers”.…
