Summary

This episode is going to be different, because for the first time I’m going to talk about something that I never thought I’d talk about publicly, which is my own anomalous experience and how it changed everything about my life and directly led to me starting this podcast.This is the story of my own highly subjective journey. I’m not asking you to believe anything that I’m saying. My own opinion about what happened to me has changed more times than I count, and I have no doubt that it will change again. My purpose in telling this story isn’t to convince you of anything, but rather to explore in as open and unflinching a way as possible, what it’s like to have an anomalous experience, and to use that as a way to discuss the many complex questions that these experiences raise.___________________NEW Class from Dr. James MaddenUnidentified Flying Hyperobject: UFOs, Philosophy, and the End of the WorldFour-week online class via ZoomWednesdays, March 27 – April 24 (skips April 10), 20247 – 9 pm ETLearn More About the ClassSign Up Now___________________EPISODE BRIEFTHE INSTITUTE OF NOETIC SCIENCESI want to thank the Institute of Noetic Sciences for their collaboration, generosity, and patience with me as I’ve worked on this story. You’ll see in episodes 2 and 3 of this series how exactly they became involved in the strange tale I’m about to tell. In my opinion the work that they are doing is some of the most important work being done in the world and is helping to lay the scaffolding for a new and emergent understanding of the nature of our reality, what it means to be human, and our place in this vast and dazzling cosmos.I hope that if you aren’t already familiar with IONS that you’ll take some time to explore their mission and their work.

0:00.0	The The Welcome back to the UFO Rabbit Hole Podcast. I'm your host Kelly Chase. This episode is going to be different because for the first time I'm going to talk about something that I honestly never thought I'd talk about publicly,
0:45.0	which is my own anomalous experience and how it changed everything about my life and directly
0:50.6	led to me starting this podcast.
0:56.7	There are a few reasons why I never thought I'd share this story. The first is that I've never wanted to center myself in the podcast.
1:01.0	I've had a sense from the beginning, and in this episode you'll understand a bit more
1:05.2	about why I felt that way that this podcast isn't about me it's about you.
1:11.6	This podcast is a flare that I sent up with the hope of signaling the way to a different kind of thinking and being in the world.
1:18.0	I can't draw you a map because my own path has been so utterly unlikely
1:23.4	and filled with unpredictable twists and turns
1:26.0	that I could never hope to translate it to someone else.
1:29.4	And I've come to understand that I don't need
1:31.9	to draw anyone a map.
1:33.0	Everyone's path is their own, and that path can only be discovered by walking it.
1:39.0	In that sense, my story really doesn't matter so much as the questions that set me on the path and
1:44.9	those questions are universal. They aren't anchored to this moment in time or to
1:50.7	anyone's particular experience.
1:53.2	They're the bigger questions about the nature of our reality
1:56.4	and the meaning of this seemingly absurd and unlikely existence.
2:00.8	The mere act of seeking after those questions is enough to unfold your own personal myth and set you on a journey into the heart of the unknown.
2:10.0	And while I believe all of that to be true, it's also been a rather convenient truth for me, because the other reason that I haven't shared this story is that I haven't wanted to.
2:22.0	And while I've gotten to a place where the braver part of me
2:25.0	wants to tell you about the craziest thing that ever happened to me,
