Podcast appearances and mentions of david halperin

Best-selling author Erich von Däniken and UFO researcher and biblical scholar David Halperin debate the theory of ancient astronauts, that advanced beings from other planets visited Earth in ancient times. David also continues with discussions about his very different views of UFO reality, and the causes behind related events. von Däniken is arguably the most widely read and most-copied nonfiction author in the world. He published his first (and best-known) book, Chariots of the Gods, in 1968. In the 1960s, David Halperin was a teen-age UFOlogist. He grew up to become a professor of religious studies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, with special expertise in religious traditions of heavenly ascent and otherworldly journeys. He is the author of five books and numerous articles on Jewish mysticism and messianism, and a novel, 'Journal of a UFO Investigator."Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-paracast-the-gold-standard-of-paranormal-radio--6203433/support.

New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 94 Queer Theory is one of the most destructive ideas ever to have been loosed onto our society from the halls of academia, as we have documented in the recent book The Queering of the American Child (https://amzn.to/3K2HovQ ). But do you know the definition of "queer"? Do you know that it's not possible to be queer, only to act queer? Do you know it has almost nothing to do with gay people? Do you know it's virtually guaranteed by definition to encourage pedophilia? All this and more is available in the original definition of "queer" as it is used in Queer Theory. Join host James Lindsay in this episode of New Discourses Bullets, where he reads and explains the original definition of "queer" from David Halperin's 1995 book Saint Foucault: Towards a Gay Hagiography (https://amzn.to/4bmHaM2 ).

Danny and Derek speak with David Halperin, retired professor of Jewish studies at UNC Chapel Hill, about his book Intimate Alien: The Hidden Story of the UFO. The group looks at the phenomenon of UFO encounters as part of a longer tradition of mythology, examining their relationship to the historical epochs in which they occur, their place in politics and culture, and what ultimately the search for aliens says about our own views of humanity.

Much of the discussion of UFOs is focused around the two poles of extraterrestrial spaceships or skeptical debunking. In this podcast David J. Halperin provides another perspective, that of myth, to help shed light on UFOs as meaning-making things. We do this by unpacking his book Intimate Alien: The Hidden Story of the UFO (Stanford University Press, 2020). David Halperin taught Judaic studies in the Department of Religious Studies at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, until his retirement in 2000. He has published five nonfiction books on Jewish mysticism and messianism, as well as the coming-of-age novel Journal of a UFO Investigator (2011). He blogs about UFOs, religion, and related subjects at www.davidhalperin.net.

COMPLETION OF STARCHILD X & RETROSPECT OF THE OO A3: LUCIFER JUXTAPOSED TO YHWH'S STARCHILD ISAIAH 14:12 & PSALMS 110:3 It must be acknowledged that the relationship between Shachar and royalty in the Hebrew Bible is not identical to that presented in CTA 23. Nevertheless, Psalm 110:3 and Isaiah 14:12 do support the association of Shachar with kingship (cf. Foley 1980:193–197; Hossfeld & Zenger 2011:149). Isaiah 14:12 provides further evidence of connection between Shachar and kingship. Interesting is that within Psalm 110:3 the king is the son of Shachar (but as already concluded not as YHWH's physical child). STARCHILD PS 110:3 Verse 3b – שׁקד בהדריּ) - in the Masoretic text reads: ‘holy garments'). Some Hebrew texts read הדר as ‘mountain'. Verse 3b – שחרׁמ מרחם – in the Masoretic text reads: ‘out of the womb of Shachar' (De Bruyn 2009:212). Verse 3c – ךָילדתי טל ךָל – in the Masoretic text reads: to you, the dew of your youth'. A Hebrew text alternatively reads ‘youth' as ‘to give birth'. These readings imply that alternatively verse 3 could read: ‘The day that you were born, I have created you from out the womb of Shachar, with the dew on the holy mountains. Then you were clothed with power' S2: Isaiah 14:12 Look how you have fallen from the sky, O shining one, son of the dawn! You have been cut down to the ground, O conqueror of the nations! Revelation 12:9 So that huge dragon—the ancient serpent, the one called the devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world—was thrown down to the earth, and his angels along with him. S3: In IV, 160-71 Milton wants to make us feel the full obscenity of Satan's presence in Eden by bringing a sudden stink of fish across the sweet smell of the flowers, and alluding to one of the most unpleasant Hebrew stories. For this reason, David Halperin sees Azazel's actions as a last-ditch effort to retain his privileged place in heaven: we see here the theme, which we have already met in the stories of Enoch in the Book of the Watchers and of Adam in the “Apocalypse of Moses,” of the exaltation of the human and the degradation of the angel corresponding to each other and to some extent depending on each other. If Azazel can persuade Abraham not to make his ascent, he will perhaps be able to keep his own privileged status. Halperin, The Faces of the Chariot, 111.

If Azazel can persuade Abraham not to make his ascent, he will perhaps be able to keep his own privileged status. Halperin, The Faces of the Chariot, 111. The Hebrew text has הֵילֵל בֶּן־שָׁחַר (helel ben shakhar, “Helel son of Shachar”), which is probably a name for the morning star (Venus) or the crescent moon. See HALOT 245 s.v. הֵילֵל. sn What is the background for the imagery in vv. 12-15? This whole section (vv. 4b-21) is directed to the king of Babylon, who is clearly depicted as a human ruler. Other kings of the earth address him in vv. 9ff., he is called “the man” in v. 16, and, according to vv. 19-20, he possesses a physical body. Nevertheless the language of vv. 12-15 has led some to see a dual referent in the taunt song. These verses, which appear to be spoken by other pagan kings to a pagan king (cf. vv. 9-11), contain several titles and motifs that resemble those of Canaanite mythology, including references to Helel son of Shachar, the stars of El, the mountain of assembly, the recesses of Zaphon, and the divine title Most High. Apparently these verses allude to a mythological story about a minor god (Helel son of Shachar) who tried to take over Zaphon, the mountain of the gods. His attempted coup failed, and he was hurled down to the underworld. The king of Babylon is taunted for having similar unrealized delusions of grandeur. Some Christians have seen an allusion to the fall of Satan here, but this seems contextually unwarranted (see J. Martin, “Isaiah,” BKCOT, 1061).

On October 7, 2023, Israelis faced the unthinkable when Hamas militants breached the Gaza border, carried out a violent rampage, took hundreds of Israelis hostage, and indiscriminately slaughtered at least 1,300 people—mostly civilians, many of them women, children, and elderly. These attacks resulted in the most Jews killed in a single day since the Holocaust. On this week's episode, IPF Atid Director Shanie Reichman joins Tel Aviv-based journalist Neri Zilber to reflect on the darkest day in Israeli history. They reflect on the atrocities committed by Hamas, Israelis' collective trauma and shattered sense of security, and how the country could have been so ill-prepared for Saturday's onslaught. Shanie and Neri touch on the history of Hamas and its ideology, analyze how this moment has reshaped Israeli politics and social dynamics, discuss the ongoing military operation and mobilization, and strive to find hope for peace during these days of despair. In this week's Koplow Column, Chief Policy Officer Michael Koplow explained how this tragedy shattered Israelis' sense of security, their leaders' legacies, and American Jewish politics.In The Forward, Michael Koplow wrote on why Palestinian society and leadership must speak out to condemn the Hamas attack. In The Hill, Michael Koplow detailed how the U.S. should support Israel as the war unfolds. In The Christian Science Monitor, Israel Policy Pod host Neri Zilber unpacked how the shared trauma of this conflict is reshaping Israeli society and driving Israelis to put aside recent differences. In the Financial Times, Neri Zilber discussed the implications of Israel's new wartime unity government.In Defense Opinion, IPF Atid Coordinator of Chapter Engagement and Strategy Rebecca Mandelbaum and Senior Policy and Communications Associate Alex Lederman co-authored an article on the strategic challenges Israel must consider as it prepares to invade Gaza.Our recent statements: October 7: Israel Policy Forum Outraged by Hamas Attacks, Stands in Support of Israel.

David Halperin is the author of Intimate Alien: “The Hidden Story of the UFO.” David was a teen UFOlogist who grew up to become a professor of religious studies at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. He had a special interest in religious traditions of heavenly ascensions and otherworldly journeys. While David no longer believes in UFOs, they've never ceased to cast their spell over him. The goal of David's research is to understand what that spell has been for him and what it remains for millions of others. His position in a nutshell: UFOs are a myth; myths are real.

This week we're talking about one of the foundational cases in the world of ufology: Betty and Barney Hill, who had an unusual encounter with a UFO while driving through the mountains late at night in 1961. They arrived home late, unable to account for 2-3 hours of time during their drive. They later recovered memories of being taken aboard the craft by aliens who conducted medical tests. It's a foundational story that introduced the world to some common elements of abduction stories including missing time and grey aliens. It's also got lots of room to be skeptical, and we're going to dig into it. Resources Wikipedia: Barney & Betty Hill Incident Ben H.

On today's episode of Way Too Interested, medievalist Dr. Eleanor Janega talks with Gavin Purcell about her current obsession: The conceptualization of sex. She explains how her field of study has been distorted in the popular imagination, how medieval people thought about sex, and the surprisingly similar way modern internet communities are talking about it now. Then, Eleanor and Gavin are joined by David Halperin, the Distinguished Professor of the History and Theory of Sexuality at the University of Michigan; he talks about the differing philosophies of sex offered by thinkers like Plato, Arthur Schopenhauer, and Sigmund Freud, and how societies — in both classical and modern times — have drawn lines between "acceptable" and "unacceptable," or "natural" and "unnatural" types of sex. Plus: How definitions of gender, eroticism, and virility have changed over time. Please follow or subscribe to Way Too Interested https://pod.link/1588020251 (in your podcast app of choice)!

My guests this week are Mick West, author of Escaping the Rabbit Hole; and David Halperin, author of Intimate Alien. What is it that makes up our belief in the seemingly unexplainable, and how might we explain paranormal events and eyewitness accounts without an extraterrestrial or highly exotic explanation?

UFO researcher and religious scholar David Halperin returns to talk about his recent columns about UFOs and the Bible, including the theories that ancient man was visited by beings from outer space. He continues to focus on his theory that UFOs are a myth, manifestations of a collective unconscious, and not physical spaceships from other planets. Back in the 1960s, David was a teenage UFO investigator. Later he became a professor of religious studies — his specialty, religious traditions of heavenly ascent. From 1976 through 2000, David taught Jewish history in the Religious Studies Department at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. He’s the author of five non-fiction books on Jewish mysticism and messianism, the coming-of-age novel Journal of a UFO Investigator, and Intimate Alien: The Hidden Story of the UFO.

David sees the UFO phenomenon as a reflection of our hopes, longings, and terrors. Some of it is emerging …With messages for us? Perhaps. We just need to learn to decode them.

First we have guest/listener Jacques from Canada to discuss an incredible childhood encounter, then featured guest, UFO skeptic, David Halperin to discuss his latest book; INTIMATE ALIEN: THE HIDDEN STORY OF THE UFO, He discusses his belief that UFOs are a manifest from within.   Show Notes

In 1958, psychologist Carl Jung authored one of the most unusual essays of his entire lifetime. Titled Flying Saucers: A Modern Myth of Things Seen in the Skies, he both acknowledged the mytho-psychological components of the UFO mystery, while acknowledging that myths and symbols alone cannot be tracked on radar. But what does the study of the mythological element in UFO sightings tell us about the phenomenon, and maybe more importantly, ourselves? This week on the Micah Hanks Program, after news about the search for habitable planets and the newest discovery vindicating Einstein's theory of general relativity, we turn our attention to the work of one man who, after a lifetime of interest in the UFO subject, believes that the answer to this mystery may exist within ourselves.  "Back in the 1960s, David Halperin was a teenage UFO investigator," his website states. "From 1976 through 2000, David taught Jewish history in the Religious Studies Department at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. Now retired from teaching, he lives in North Carolina with his wife Rose." The author of five non-fiction books on Jewish mysticism and messianism, and "the coming-of-age novel" Journal of a UFO Investigator, David joins us to discuss his latest offering, Intimate Alien: The Hidden Story of the UFO this week on The Micah Hanks Program.  Coronavirus Charities: If you are able, please consider supporting the following charities that are offering relief for those affected by the coronavirus pandemic: No Kid Hungry Responds to Coronavirus American Red Cross: Give Blood Feeding America Meals on Wheels Homeless Shelter Directory Enjoy The Micah Hanks Program?

David Halperin, Professor Emeritus of Religious Studies, talks about his latest book INTIMATE ALIEN: THE HIDDEN STORY OF THE UFO (Stanford University Press). He also discusses how the current COVID-19 pandemic might give rise to new UFO sightings and interest in UFOlogy http://davidhalperin.net

Gene and Randall present UFO researcher and religious scholar David Halperin , with a major focus on one of his books, “Intimate Alien: The Hidden Story of the UFO (Spiritual Phenomena).” According to David, UFOs are a myth, but myths are real. The power and fascination of the UFO has nothing to do with space travel or life on other planets. It’s about us, our longings and terrors, and especially the greatest terror of all: the end of our existence. This is a book about UFOs that goes beyond believing in them or debunking them and to a fresh understanding of what they tell us about ourselves as individuals, as a culture, and as a species. Oh and by the way, Gene makes a cameo appearance in David’s book.

My guest this week was David Halperin, retired religious studies professor and author of INTIMATE ALIEN: The Hidden Story of The UFO. How we interpret eyewitness sightings and alien abduction events is challenged. David makes the argument that none of the reported UFOs or related experiences have anything to do with physical ships or visiting extraterrestrials. That human minds, including historical past traumas and current real world events, cause eyewitness to project onto mundane things like aircraft an imagined visualization and experience. David’s line of thinking is more akin to Jacques Vallée and Carl Jung put together. But he believes it is something more, only he does not know exactly what the UFO enigma is, but makes a good case against traditional ufology. For those who take stock in the Roswell incident or the Betty and Barney Hill abduction case, your convictions may be challenged.

Dans ce podcast sur la création artistique, on a demandé à Elisabeth Lebovici de nous parler d'histoire de l'art à travers le prisme queer. On lui a demandé comment on faisait, nous, individus invisibilisé.e.s, pour s'inscrire dans une culture où lorsqu'on réclame plus d'inclusivité, on se fait silencier. On a aussi voulu savoir ce que c'était un art queer, et comment est-ce qu'on peut faire de cet art une continuité de nos luttes dans la société. On s'est aussi demandé.e.s comment est-ce qu'on faisait pour réintégrer nos communautés dans les arts visuels, pour nous inclure dans nos musées, et pour inclure nos artistes dans un monde de l'art gouverné par une logique marchande, blanche, et hétéropatriarcale ?

How does a teenage UFO investigator from the '60s mature into a professor of religious studies specializing in the traditions of heavenly ascent? You'll find out as Gene and Randall present David Halperin. According to David, the UFO phenomenon is about us–our hopes, our longings, our terrors. Some of it is emerging … With messages for us? Perhaps, if we just need to learn to decode them. David taught Jewish history in the Religious Studies Department at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill from 1976 through 2000. His perspective on UFOs is that like religion, they are a human construct that has nothing to do with space travel or life on other planets. According to David, they are alien, but instead of coming from space, they come from within our own minds, our own souls, where there’s enough alienness to fill a universe. During this episode, David will offer insights into both sightings and abductions, including former Beatle John Lennon's sighting of a UFO over New York City in 1974.

Hosts Tim Beckley and Tim Swartz welcome to Exploring The Bizarre (KCORradio.com) DAVE HALPERIN whose friendship with Beckley goes back to when they were both teenagers. In the UFO controversy, the skeptics are right about the less important point: UFOs have no physical existence. TheUFOlogists are right about the more important point: UFOs are a vitally important subject, never to be dismissed as “bunk” or “claptrap.” Attention must be paid. UFOs, like religion, are a human phenomenon. They have nothing to do with space travel or life on other planets. Back in the 1960s, David Halperin was a teenage UFOlogist. Later he became a Professor of Religious Studies at theUniversity of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where he taught until his retirement in 2000. His specialty: religious traditions of heavenly ascent and otherworldly journeys. He is the author of five books on Jewish mysticism and messianism, and a novel, "Journal of a UFO Investigator," published in 2011 by Viking Press and translated into Spanish, Italian, and German. His non-fiction book, "Intimate Alien: The Hidden Story of the UFO," will be published next year by Stanford University Press. He blogs on UFOs, religion, and other subjects dear to his heart at www.davidhalperin.net.

Back in the 1960s, David Halperin was a teenage UFO investigator. Later he became a professor of religious studies — his specialty, religious traditions of heavenly ascent. From 1976 through 2000, David taught Jewish history in the Religious Studies Department at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. Now retired from teaching, he lives in North Carolina with his wife Rose. His first novel, "Journal of a UFO Investigator" was published in 2001.  Using the first known UFO abduction case, Barney and Betty Hill in 1961, Halperin explains his unique theory on the origin of UFO's. Looking to the skies may not be the correct course of action, according to Halperin. The answer may be much closer to all of us.  www.davidhalperin.net "UFOs--Visitors from Inner Space" -- David Halperin at Northern Michigan University: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oejPS2wibvk

Open your mind as we look at the U.F.O./E.T. enigma in a unique light with retired UNC Chapel Hill professor of religious studies, David Halperin, and author of Journal of a UFO Investigator. No he doesn't believe extraterrestrials are visiting Earth. He doesn't believe UFOs are real. But he believes there is an enigma that can be explained. https://www.davidhalperin.netPlease check out our other pages and social media!https://www.paranormalnow.netTwitter: https://twitter.com/Paranormal_NowIG: https://www.instagram.com/paranormalnow/YouTube-Paranormal Pop: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bz2FIUUshS8

Part 2 of our question and answer celebration. Enjoy! The paper mentioned by Greek Orthodox bishop Seraphim Rose is here. The article mentioned by David Halperin is here. Website: saucerlife.com Twitter: @saucerlife Instagram: saucerlife Facebook  

Welcome back to Chutzpah — we hope you survived the High Holidays. This episode, we sit down with David Halperin, executive director of the Israel Policy Forum, a non-profit working to shape the discourse around the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Halperin, a former journalist at the Israeli newspaper Haaretz, speaks about developing his sense of Jewish identity (and audacity) as the "only Jewish kid" growing up in a suburb of Phoenix, A.Z. We talk about what it takes to represent the complex international gridlock in the Middle East and take-aways from his most recent trip to Israeli communities near the Gaza border. Oh — and the time neo-Nazis tried to beat him up in high school for wearing a Magen David necklace, and the unlikely group that came to his defense — this and more, on the latest episode of Chutzpah.

Gene and Randall present a return appearance by UFO researcher and Biblical scholar David Halperin. His perspective on UFOs is that like religion, they are a human phenomenon. They have nothing to do with space travel or life on other planets. They’re about us–our hopes, our longings, our terrors. Particularly the greatest terror of all: the end of our existence. Are they alien visitors? Yes; but not in the sense of coming from outer space. Inside our own minds, our own souls, there’s enough alienness to fill a universe. Some of it is emerging … With messages for us? Perhaps. We just need to learn to decode them. From 1976 through 2000, David taught Jewish history in the Religious Studies Department at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill.

Best-selling author Erich von Däniken and UFO researcher and biblical scholar David Halperin debate the theory of ancient astronauts, that advanced beings from other planets visited Earth in ancient times. David also continues with discussions about his very different views of UFO reality, and the causes behind related events. von Däniken is arguably the most widely read and most-copied nonfiction author in the world. He published his first (and best-known) book, Chariots of the Gods, in 1968. In the 1960s, David Halperin was a teen-age UFOlogist. He grew up to become a professor of religious studies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, with special expertise in religious traditions of heavenly ascent and otherworldly journeys. He is the author of five books and numerous articles on Jewish mysticism and messianism, and a novel, 'Journal of a UFO Investigator."

Alejandro Rojas with UFO Updates, Guest, David Halperin discusses what he believes UFOs really are. Back in the 1960s, David Halperin was a teenage UFO investigator. Later he became a professor of religious studies — his specialty,

As we approach our Thanksgiving holiday here in the United States, Astonishing Legends would like to thank our fantastic fans from all over the world with our final Part 4B of The Mothman series - the rest of the conclusions. Not only did we think this would make a good bonus for our listeners, but an undivided Part 4 would've been, shall we say, monstrous. Of all the things to be thankful for this holiday season, just remember that as weird as things are, they could always get weirder. Happy Thanksgiving everybody! Tonight's Quote: “I have adopted the concept of 'Ultraterrestrials' — beings and forces which coexist with us but are on another time frame; that is, they operate outside the limits of our space-time continuum yet have the ability to cross over into our reality. This other world is not a place, however, as Mars or Andromeda are places, but it is a state of energy.” — John A.

Do we only see what we can understand? And if we refuse or are unable to understand, are we then not seeing all of the elements of our reality? If beings and creatures from alternate realities truly exist, then what is their origin story? What is their purpose and what are we to them, or more to the point, what do they want with us? In Part 4A of our series on the Mothman of Point Pleasant, WV, we examine some of these questions and try to find conclusions of our own, outrageous though they may seem to be.

Ralph talks to advocate and writer, David Halperin, about how for profit colleges are ripping you off.  We also discuss the Senate report on torture, the demonstrations on police brutality, and the congressional omnibus spending bill that is loaded with a lot of corporate goodies.

How to be Gay - Laurie Taylor talks to David Halperin, the US Professor of History and Theory of Sexuality, whose controversial new book explores the way in which a gay male sensibility subverts mainstream culture, from Grand Opera to Broadway Musicals. Whilst some gay men repudiate what they perceive as a narrow and stereotypical version of their sexual identity; Halperin argues that a love of kitsch, camp and melodrama is, in fact, linked to a uniquely gay culture: Furthermore, its genius lies in some of its most despised features, namely its snobbery, caricatures of women and adoration of glamour. They're joined by the writer and cultural critic, Owen Jones. Also, Tim Strangleman discusses his study into work identity and 'loss': how older railway workers have reacted to change in their industry. Producer: Jayne Egerton.
