The contact experience can be elusive, but the flood of overwhelming phenomena can change a person. Powerful synchronicities, psychic knowing, healing abilities, and an overwhelming sense of mission—all of these can feel like a blessing or a curse.

David Metcalfe talks about the challenges of trying to confront the mystery of the UFO, and how creativity and “the story” can end-run the simplistic ideas held within pop culture. The real experience demands transformation, and the results are something altogether different.

Darren might be better known as ExoAcademian, his online alias. He is one of the most grounded and clear-spoken voices in this curious field of research. We cover some of his personal experiences as well as his ideas about the source of this mystery, and its power to transform.

His Patreon site. A recent interview with Kelly Chase on Dreamland. His point of Convergence podcast and website.

Earth: A Love Story is Robin Lassiter’s memoir of the anomalous. This is her story of awakening. One thing that comes up as a sort of theme of the interview is the act of surrendering. Robin confronts this with such poetic tenderness, and she shares the challenges and joys that come with something we might see as negative. We explore what it means to surrender, and our questions about surrendering permeate this interview.

Time loops, precognitive dreams, and the magic of creative inspiration are all central to Eric’s research. That and UFOs, but not in any kind of “nuts and bolts” way. He puts forth an idea about the source of these seemingly magical events through an exploration of time and our multi-dimensional selves. Much of what we call the paranormal could be our future selves reaching back to us with a message.

In this conversation we address the mysteries of creativity, synchronicities, and so much more.

Erics books are Time Loops, Precognitive Dreamwork and the Long Self , and the soon-to-be-released From Nowhere.

His blog is The Nightshirt. 

After a long decade, my podcast has come back to life.

Hidden Experience emerged in 2009, and slipped into hibernation in 2014. Now is the dawn of a newer version of my role as a podcaster. The old show was based on experiences and emotions, and the power of the story.

This new show will be hosted on Patreon, linked HERE.

This is a seven-minute introduction to this new and upgraded project. 

If you are new to my work, welcome. And if you used to listen to the old show, welcome back.

Peace and strength,
Mike!!

Sharon and I talk about my novel. This is a conversation exploring the genesis and creative process of paranormal fiction, and the source of inspiration.

Here’s a conversation I did with Mike Clelland about his new novel, The Unseen, which just came out last week. If you are familiar with Mike’s work on synchronicities, owls, and UFOs, you won’t want to miss this new, beautifully compelling, artistic take on those phenomena. It’s a paranormal thriller that’s so much more…

I've been recording myself reading THE UNSEEN for an audiobook, and I want to share what I can along the way. This is a 16-minute excerpt where I read the prologue, and this sets up the rest of the story. It's been a fun challenge to act out the roles and play up the drama.

The book has been selling well, and the reviews have been wonderful. As a first-time novelist, I was SO worried that nobody would get the story I was trying to tell. 

Get the book HERE.

This is an excerpt from my recently published audiobook of The Messenger. It was narrated by Michael Hacker. The foreword was written and read by Richard Dolan. And the introduction and conclusion were read by me.

The audiobook for The Messengers is due out very soon. Richard Dolan wrote and read the foreword, and I am sharing it here. 

Long time reader of the blog Red Pill Junkie read his own essay, and he has a much better voice than I do! This is his foreword to my newest book. Required listening! 

This is an audio reading from the recently published book, Hidden Experience.
