Gordon White has been on a few threads. I will just create one for Rune Soup so that the podcasts can be streamlined.

TALKING PLANT COGNITION AND COMMUNICATION WITH DR MONICA GAGLIANO

This week we welcome to the show Dr Monica Gagliano, who is an evolutionary ecologist and the author of the fantastic book, Thus Spoke The Plant. We chat about her experiences running experiments on plant communication and cognition, as well as her experiences learning from and with both indigenous plant teachers and plant spirits themselves around the world.

A little later than usual, and timed to coincide with the Glastonbury Occult Conference launch of Paul Weston's latest book, The Occult Battle of Britain, I am pleased to present another patented episode of Storytime with Paul!

Listen in as we discuss the book, its backstory and how it wove its way into Paul's life, what even was the Occult Battle of Britain, its antecedents, and what significance it might hold for us at this particular point in the timeline.

Very interesting interview, Dreamtimer! I've known about this ever since the book: "The Secret Life of Plants". So this was a real bonus for me. Thanks.


"The secret life of plants" is perhaps the best way to start learning about life.

It's a beautiful documentary but it is quite long which is sad for the valuable point it makes. I cant think of anything that could be more important. There is much more to learn about biology, the mind and it's abilities than "just" thinking, feeling and communicating plants. This video should provide you with the necessary inspiration to start searching for other documented facts people some how forgot to share with you. The book "The Secret Life of Plants" was written by Peter Tompkins and Christopher Bird in 1973.

http://books.google.com/books?id=nqU5...

Cleave Baxter wasn't credited for it, he actually did the work for the book and he came up with a lot of the current knowledge in lie detectors. Some other interesting things he did which he couldn't report all of it, but was involved with people and what he did was took a mouthwash and took white blood cells from a persons mouth, and put that in a solution with electrodes so he got contact with them and monitored on a lie detector machine (EEG) readings from this white blood cell. At the same time put a traveling video camera on the person that they came from. Any time that something happened—this was a little bit different, Ill explain this one. Any time something happened to that person that was emotionally stimulating whether it be fearful or on the other end of the spectrum, loving, it responded. It didn't matter how far away the person was either.

The documentary "The Secret Life of Plants" was made by Walon Green in 1979.

This one is about UFOs. :eyebrows::abduct:


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oRoLK2vAgvo

Dr Diana Walsh Pasulka was on the show last year. The website is here (https://www.americancosmic.com).


A New Religion, A New Future

Contrary to Stephen Hawking’s statement that only “cranks” believe in and see UFOs, American Cosmic profiles brilliant entrepreneurs of Silicon Valley whose belief in UFOs informs the creation of their innovative and game-changing technologies.

Author and historian of religion Professor D. W. Pasulka journeys through the cafes and labs of Silicon Valley, to the desert of New Mexico to explore how belief in UFOs is covered up, explored, engaged, and created.

Over half of adult Americans and over eighty percent of young Americans believe in ufos or in extraterrestrial life. The new technological infrastructure has birthed several new forms of religion, including religions based on film and fiction. Pasulka reveals how ufo belief is the religion of the technological age. This belief is bolstered by the potential reality of the discovery of life on other planets, made real by NASA’s periodic press releases supporting this belief.

Stranger yet, the author discovers that technology does have strange connections to the paranormal, and the author’s interviews with technologists and her historical research into the Russian and American Space programs reveals the strange and perplexing origins of rocket technologies. Pasulka draws on the latest research into digital and media technologies to reveal how the representation of the UFO passes into minds and bodies, informing memory, belief, and culture.

Here is a link (https://runesoup.com/2018/06/talking-saints-psi-and-ufos-with-dr-diana-walsh-pasulka/) to the Rune Soup show from 10 months ago.

Kaitlin Coppock was on the show recently discussing talismanic magic.


Kaitlin is the owner of Sphere and Sundry, an online-store-meets-ritual-art-project dedicated to expertly elected talismanic materia.

So of course, we talk talismans, as well as how or why they might work, in addition to astrology in general, while sharing a few thoughts on its current moment of cultural prominence.

Return of the Queen!

The one and only Becca Tarnas joins us again as we dive deeper than ever before into Tolkien's notion of Faërie, Middle Earth's Creation story, and how the man himself understood creative acts.

And, because we are almost at the end of the year, we take what we have learned from this journey into Middle Earth and transform it into some guidelines and inspiration for facing 2020 with our minds on hope and mutual flourishing.

Love Rune Soup:

I found this one late a few nights ago and had to stop listening because it was freaking me out a little. Here's something weird. I was telling my husband about it this morning and he said, Rune Soup came up on his computer the day after I had been listening to this on youtube. Granted, sometimes our devices seem to sync, but not often at all. It's a rare event.

On the other hand, I find if examine the subject of coincidence and synchronicity they start multiplying in your own life. It's almost like this is how an alien intelligence communicates. The question is, what are they or it trying to say?

The idea that something alien is trying to communicate with us in ways we perceive but can't understand would open up a new branch of epistemology, I figure. And this interview highlights the strangeness of the breadth and depth of reality.

If this isn't appropriate, it can be deleted: I see a connection in several areas: Spirituality, racial historical animus, and Islam. Oh, UFOs and their interdimensional manifestation.

Actually, I don't even know how this popped up. :)

NAP, watched the first third and will finish it later. The impression I got from that sneak peak is that the mystical branches of most religions, are remarkably similar.
As far as Marion apparitions go, 'they' say that they were merely projections from ufos. But maybe it can be said that the opposite is more likely to be true--that sightings of some ufos are no more than modern Marion visions, custom designed for a technocracy.

yeah, I agree ... have thought that for quite awhile now, I think it was Jacques Vallee who first proposed it (formally) :) ... you should relate your story about the abduction ... would be fascinating ... :)

yeah, I agree ... have thought that for quite awhile now, I think it was Jacques Vallee who first proposed it (formally) :) ... you should relate your story about the abduction ... would be fascinating ... :)

Mine was an attempted abduction (whatever abduction really is) I was able to jolt myself out of a lucid state just after the mental hijacking began. I sat bolt upright in bed, at which point I figured the abominable strange noise outside my window, had been a dream. Then I heard it again, this time wide awake...as clearly as the moaning, yodelling, alien shriek of Chthulu in Lovecraft's "fiction" That was the last of it. It left.

The events immediately preceding this event let me know that I was dealing with some kind of alien intelligence that had accessed my mind. It was not benign imho.

Octopus Garden

yeah, I agree ... have thought that for quite awhile now, I think it was Jacques Vallee who first proposed it (formally) Nap

And yet Vallee alludes to the fact that there is a physical expression to the ufo phenomenon as well, though he dismisses Roswell. The essence of the confusion may have to do with the way we currently classify reality. Either something is real or it is not, it is myth. What if it somewhere inbetween the two. What if the mythic underpinning of material reality is much richer, more substantial and all encapsulating than the material world?

And perhaps it can only be apprehended when in a state of altered consciousness.

Emil El Zapato

Altered consciousness is a good starting point for many things. Test taking in a formal environment is not one of them ... :)

He has long been noncommittal to the nuts-and-bolts theory but he has never discounted it completely. Pretty much shows that no one (yet) really knows all the answers. That experience you cite is pretty frightening... I would not be up for that under any circumstances.

Octopus Garden
10th January 2021, 00:46
Yes, it was terrifying. Had I been anymore afraid I would have fainted, girlie style. I mean, I knew what it was, in a sense. I knew it was an alien intelligence and from where I was sitting, it was within ten feet of me. I can remember afterward being kind of hysterical, almost babbling incoherently and wondering what to do. Should I call the cops? It was 3:00 in the morning. I wasn't going to run to a friend's place as I figured it would follow me, whatever it was. And what could the cops do? Nada. So I just sat there inside my apartment, until the sun came up. Shudder.

Emil El Zapato
10th January 2021, 12:00
Yeah, one thing I learned early is to not play the game. We have spiritual power, in some circumstances we just have to use them. And it certainly is not to be used to gain advantage, but to remain in the correct spiritual light ... to bathe in that light. :)
