Aliens R Us | Cosmic Enigmas: Unraveling the Mysteries of Aliens and Unexplained Phenomena

Aliens R Us | Cosmic Enigmas: Unraveling the Mysteries of Aliens and Unexplained Phenomena

Welcome to an out-of-this-world episode of our podcast! In this mind-boggling installment, we delve into the enigmatic world of aliens and unexplained phenomena.


First up, we analyze intriguing TicTac sighting info that has puzzled both experts and enthusiasts alike. Then, we explore pilot report statistics that shed light on the strange and inexplicable encounters in our skies.


The perplexing phenomenon of our inability to combat UPAs takes center stage, leaving us questioning our own place in the universe. Our imaginations run wild as we contemplate the chilling scenario of aliens invading our world.


We unravel the startling theory that aliens possess pre-ice-age intelligence, making their existence even more fascinating.


But here's where things get truly mind-bending - the notion that "Aliens are us." Could they be somehow linked to our own species in ways we can't comprehend?


Would you want to see aliens face-to-face? We tackle this thought-provoking question, considering the implications and emotions it evokes.


The mystery deepens as we explore the tantalizing possibility of a Government conspiracy involving aliens. Are there hidden agendas and secrets that we aren't aware of?


Curiosity leads us to question the timing of it all - "Why now?" - as we seek to understand the sudden surge in alien-related discussions and discoveries.


As we ponder the question "Is it a privilege to care?" in the context of extraterrestrial encounters, we're forced to confront our own values and perspectives.


A surprising revelation awaits as we uncover the concept of a "space garage," an intriguing idea that takes us on a journey beyond our atmosphere.


But that's not all - there's a giant red cube that defies explanation and challenges our understanding of reality.


And as if that's not enough, we come face-to-face with the mesmerizing phenomenon of astral projection, transcending the boundaries of space and time.


In the midst of it all, we find time to explore the enduring influence of sci-fi movies, shaping our perceptions of alien life and the cosmos.


Lastly, we contemplate the seemingly unthinkable - "Benefits of Alien invasion." Is there a silver lining to such an event, or is it just a far-fetched notion?


Prepare to be captivated, challenged, and mystified as we embark on this extraordinary journey into the unknown. Join us for an unforgettable episode that will leave you questioning the very fabric of reality!

Emotional Metabolism

Emotional Metabolism

*Emotional metabolism: how emotional experiences are "processed" or “digested” through the physical and emotional body of an individual.


We delve into the complex relationship between gratitude, responsibility, and the impact of our choices on ourselves and the planet. We start by exploring the practice of solely thanking a god or creator for the food on our plates, without acknowledging the lives of the animals involved. We highlight how this approach can be seen as lazy and a way to escape the responsibility of our actions, contributing to desensitization, which has far-reaching consequences for both humanity and the environment.


Next, we discuss the power of perception and self-limiting beliefs. Our conversation takes a fascinating turn as we explore the idea that if something truly was impossible for us, we wouldn't even perceive it as a possibility. This perspective challenges our notions of self-imposed limitations and encourages us to broaden our horizons.


Furthermore, we address the concept of empathy and its potential pitfalls. While being an empath can be a beautiful gift, it's crucial to avoid getting entangled in someone else's negativity. We share practical tips and strategies on how to maintain healthy boundaries and self-care while still being a compassionate and supportive presence for others.


Finally, we wrap up with a discussion on the fallacy of sacrificing our own well-being to help others. We explore the idea that making oneself poor or sad does not genuinely benefit someone else, but rather, it perpetuates a cycle of suffering. Instead, we challenge you to seek more sustainable and effective ways to contribute positively to the lives of others without compromising their own.


Join us as we navigate the complex dynamics of gratitude, responsibility, empathy, and self-care in our quest for a more conscious and compassionate existence.

With a focus on avoiding conventional factory farming practices and seeking out quality animal welfare practices, we share our commitment to supporting local, small-scale farmers prioritizing sustainable farming methods.

S10. Ep6. Can We Reclaim "Conservative" Language?

S10. Ep6. Can We Reclaim "Conservative" Language?

- Can we reclaim "Conservative" Language?

- Can we borrow "Christian" terms & lingo?

- Can we social justice our way out of physiological burdens?

- It is irresponsible to rid ourselves of all expectations that don't feel like fit us?

- Can masculine energy really be toxic? Or is it just toxic behavior?

- What does it mean to "take a back seat" as someone with "privileged identities"?

- Does being mixed give us a leg up on finding nuance?

- Are we able to place nuance where there is none (or so we think)?

S10. Ep5. My Family Thinks I'm Going to Hell

S10. Ep5. My Family Thinks I'm Going to Hell

In today's episode, Lauren + Adam discuss: 

- A family member recently telling us they think we are going to hell.

- We chat about how everyone we know, makes an exception for a loved one that passes - believing they’ve gone to heaven, regardless of religious belief. No one attends a funeral of a loved one saying, “Too bad they’re in hell”.

- Believing someone is going to hell, without being upset about it means you’re either entirely unloving or you don’t really believe it.

- We compare the Bible to Tarot cards.

- How the art of learning feels spiritual. Not needing to embody or believe it, for information to have significance.

S10. Ep3. Spilling The Tea On Joshua Tree

In this episode, Lauren + Adam discuss:

- Lauren's personal experience from the social chaos that occurred after a photo with some of her close friends, celebrating liberation from purity culture, was shared online.

- This entire experience from start to finish is incredibly nuanced + we couldn't possibly cover everything. We hope you hear our hearts.

- Adam speaks on allowing others to live in their joy.

- We discuss that many people find themselves - again - giving away their power, and lacking voice or opinion after leaving church culture. How they choose to be lead by a select few that check off new boxes to make them believe they posses no self-identifying discernment. What we can do instead...

- A lot of white folks don't consider the fact that they have ancestors too. We talk about how to tap into that and why it is so necessary to stop perpetuating performative behavior that lacks critical thinking.

S10. Ep2. Healthy Masculinity Encourages Play

In this episode Lauren + Adam discuss:

- How healthy masculinity actually encourages play. 

- Subverting appropriation by reclaiming your OWN heritage. Adam shares on his search for his Norse ancestors' spiritual practices.

- Reimagining Spirituality as a contemporary Indigenous woman (Lauren).

- What true healthy masculinity looks like. Aka - Knowing, caring for, providing for, interceding for others in times where they don’t or can’t for themselves. It’s a protection energy we can aspire to. Adam opens up about his struggle to embrace his masculinity in today's world.

- Embracing that time is not linear. Not only do we have ancestors. But we ARE our ancestors. And the best way to connect with them is first to connect with & love ourselves.

S10. Ep1. Can Atheists Be Spiritual?

In this episode, Lauren + Adam Discuss:

- Finding spirituality through humanity.

- Desperate times call for desperate prayers.

- Choosing to explore the spirituality of our ancestors - what they believed that they could be interacting + interfacing with to bring growth + healing in the world.

- It takes some bravery to speak boldly on something. It takes the greatest bravery to be vulnerable enough to stand for something AND allow space for that to change.
