Description:
What are UFOs—and why do so many encounters seem to involve consciousness, altered states, perception, and non-human intelligence?
In this special episode, four of my favorite thinkers ever to appear on Third Eye Drops offer different, but complementary takes on the phenomenon, UFOs and consciousness.
Dr. Donald Hoffman, cognitive scientist and idealist philosopher, explores the possibility that spacetime is only a perceptual headset—and that UAP may be operating from a deeper level of reality outside the interface.
Dr. Bernardo Kastrup, philosopher and leading advocate of analytic idealism, considers whether UFOs and entities could emerge from autonomous regions of mind, neighboring domains of consciousness, or intelligences that do not fit neatly into physical space.
Dr. Jeffrey J. Kripal, scholar of religion and the paranormal, examines the phenomenon as simultaneously physical, psychic, symbolic, and deeply entangled with human imagination, culture, and meaning.
Dr. Andrew Gallimore, neurobiologist and researcher of entity encounters, proposes that non-human intelligences may access or manipulate the brain’s world-building machinery, constructing entire experiential realities and appearing through forms or “masks” the mind can perceive.
Together, these four perspectives challenge the conventional extraterrestrial hypothesis and point toward something far stranger: a phenomenon that may sit at the intersection of mind, matter, perception, and reality itself.

Description:
Jeffrey J. Kripal is the J. Newton Rayzor Professor of Philosophy and Religious Thought and former chair of the Department of Religious Studies at Rice University in Houston, Texas. His books include Kali's Child, Esalen, Authors of the Impossible, The Serpent's Gift, Mutants and Mystics, The Super Natural (with Whitley Strieber), and Secret Body. He is coauthor, with Elizabeth Krohn, of Changed in a Flash: One Woman's Near-Death Experience and Why a Scholar Thinks It Empowers Us All.
Here he explains the significance of Elizabeth Krohn's near-death experience. He points out that simply reading or talking about such matters helps to create a "safe space" for others who may be having similar experiences.
He notes that her experience, like most NDEs, was colored by her family and religious background. He also describes Eric Wargo's concept of "time loops", and suggests that this model allows for a wide variety of phenomena otherwise thought to be "paranormal".
New Thinking Allowed host, Jeffrey Mishlove, PhD, is author of The Roots of Consciousness, Psi Development Systems, and The PK Man. Between 1986 and 2002 he hosted and co-produced the original Thinking Allowed public television series. He is the recipient of the only doctoral diploma in "parapsychology" ever awarded by an accredited university (University of California, Berkeley, 1980).
He is also the Grand Prize winner of the 2021 Bigelow Institute essay competition regarding the best evidence for survival of human consciousness after permanent bodily death. He is Co-Director of Parapsychology Education at the California Institute for Human Science.
