Practical initiation: terror, deprivation, and ascent

Peter Levenda enters the mind meld! In this one, I’m joined by author, scholar and researcher Peter Levenda. We explore UFOs not as isolated anomalies, but as part of a much older mysterious, mythic and psychospiritual that structure shapes human belief. 🥰 Support TED and join the community on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/thirdeyedrops Get access to our Youtube Member's Library: https://www.youtube.com/@THIRDEYEDROPS/membership We riff on why humanity could be a cargo cult, government secrecy, the relationship between the UFO phenomenon and intelligence communities, and why governments may relate to the UFO phenomenon as not just a scientific mystery, but a narrative problem. From consciousness and psi research to initiation rituals, esoteric traditions, sensory deprivation, and out-of-body states, Levenda traces a through-line connecting ancient ideas of celestial ascent with modern space programs and disclosure culture.
