Aliens and the occult: Peter Levenda on UFOs, contact, spirituality, and the need for discernment

On this episode, author, historian, and occultist Peter Levenda joins us once again to explore the UFO phenomenon and its relationship to consciousness, mysticism, religion, magick and human development over the centuries. We consider the difference between the alien and spiritual entities, the initiatory power of contact, HP Lovecraft’s seemingly prescient work on the awakening of Cthulhu, and the likelihood that surviving remnants of Nazism play a continued role in developing and deploying alien technologies. Levenda is the author, along with musician Tom Delonge, of the Sekret Machines non-fiction trilogy, of Sinister Forces, the Lovecraft Trilogy, The Dark Lord, Stairway to Heaven, and several other books. He explains the idea behind celestial ascent, the spiritual paths that have been separately developed in numerous ancient cultures, and how they relate to non-human intelligence and contact with UFOs. We also discuss the problematic development of ideologies around such events, and how those ideologies can prevent discernment. -----------------------  Music Credits: Music:  Cinematic Logo 04 by TaigaSoundProd Free download: https://filmmusic.io/song/8221-cinematic-logo-04 Licensed under CC BY 4.0: https://filmmusic.io/standard-license  Music: Technology Calm Logo 01 by TaigaSoundProd Free download: https://filmmusic.io/song/6660-technology-calm-logo-01 Licensed under CC BY 4.0: https://filmmusic.io/standard-license  ---  Please don’t forget to like and subscribe.  Support this channel on Patreon: www.patreon.com/neongalactic  On X: @jfrickingfaulk  #UFO #UAP #psi #ESP #psychic #consciousness #alien #daimon #Jung #archetype #idealism #monism #illuminism #enlightenment #kybalion #hermetic #gnostic #shamanism #occult #magic #magick #conspiracy #faerie #simulation #demiurge #mandala #shadow #imaginal #secrecy #remoteviewing #RV #astral #theosophy #monomyth #mythology #egregore #tulpa #contact #saucer #disclosure #AATIP #AAWSAP #Skinwalker #Bigelow #NIDS #download #CE5 #anthroposophy #plato #plotinus #demonology #djinn #whitelodge #twinpeaks #seth #lawofone #ramaterial #channeling #loosh #uintah #Enoch #enochian #iam #meditate #chakra #reiki #reincarnation #metempsychosis #sirius #vril #grail #devil #angel #archangel #AI #yaldabaoth #sophia #marian #miracle #ontology #greys #ultraterrestrial #Oannes #Hathor #Osiris #pythagoras #thelema #BICS #PKD #VALIS #terencemckenna #timewavezero #entheogen #psychedelic #alter #individuate #spirit #sol #johndee #goldendawn #mantid #spirituality #NDE #OBE #luciddreaming #experiencer #majestic #encounter #magonia #naledi #alchemy #magnumopus #astrology #einsof #kabbalah #perennialphilosophy #quantum #observer #gravitics #CIA #tothestars #sekretmachines #necronomicon #lovecraft #zeropointenergy #unusmundus #plasma #superconscious
