For episode nine, we welcome to the show Diana Pasulka, professor of Religious Studies at UNC – Wilmington. Her books American Cosmic: UFOs, Religion, Technology and Encounters: Experiences with Nonhuman Intelligences are both classics in the field of Religion and Technology studies. We discuss how Pasulka's early work on Catholic purgatory led her to the study of UFOs, the spiritual practices of experiencers, and the role of government (dis)information and popular culture in the rise of UFO religion. On the way, we touch on A.I., revelations, St. Teresa of Avila, sleep paralysis, and the perils and possibilities of new technologies. Full transcript forthcoming.

Lou's new book, Pasulka's much better book (IMHO), the Conjuring House controversy, NASA scolds India and Strange Verbiage in some new government documents... why the switch?

Aaron received his doctorate in the study of religion, including an emphasis in science and technology studies, from the University of California, Davis. His monograph Max Weber, Rudolf Steiner, and Modern Western Esotericism: A Transcultural Approach will be published by Routledge in late 2024 in the “Asia, Europe, and Global Connections: Culture, History, and Trans-Area Studies“ book series. Aaron has published numerous peer-reviewed articles in academic journals and regularly gives lectures and presentations at international conferences. He currently teaches in the international Religious Studies Masters program at the University of Erfurt in Germany and works as a postdoctoral researcher at the Freie Universität Berlin.In our conversation, Aaron talks about new areas of research that he's been exploring regarding the field of ufology, and its connections with esotericism, technology and religion. He's currently editing a forthcoming interdisciplinary academic collaborative work about this, called Religion and the UFO Phenomenon: Methodological Challenges, that asks the questions, “how best should scholars of the humanities and social sciences approach the UFO phenomenon as an object of study? Why are otherworldly experiences intertwined with new forms of religiosity?”Aaron also gives a re-cap of the recent developments in the U.S. with regard to the UAP, or Unidentified Arial Phenomena, in Senate hearings and discusses the issues surrounding disclosure, with the largely failed attempt to establish a committee that would force the US government to declassify and release all information on UFOs. He then moves on to discuss his own developing research into the connections between ufology and esotericism, and how religion is being transformed, with some in academia speaking now of a new religiosity forming around these experiences. Aaron's work is looking at this modern esotericism that keeps popping up in this new ‘hybrid technoscientific religiosity' as he terms it. Ideas of evolution and training for humans who are interested in future realities in space are also discussed in terms of ritual initiation or Hero's Journey that is likened to the Jedi training of the Star Wars story.In closing, we also explore occulture and the cultural impact on all of this a bit, specifically how these ideas are played out in shows like X-Files and of course, my favorite, Twin Peaks.NOTE: Around the 1 hour 13 minute mark, I mistakenly say "accelerators" instead of "accumulators" when talking about Wilhelm Reich's orgone accumulators. My apologies.Alongside this work, Aaron has recently co-edited the volume Modernity and the Construction of Sacred Space, which is available in open access on the De Gruyter website. You can find his latest article on Rudolf Steiner "Esotericism against Capitalism? Rudolf Steiner's Reform Pedagogy as a Site of Resistance" in volume 14 (no. 2) of the journal Approaching Religion, which is also published open access.Rejected Religion | Illuminating the Obscure | PatreonTo access my previous discussion with Aaron about UFOs, Steiner and Hynek PLUS more relevant links to the topic, please follow these links:https://rejected-religion-introductory-episode-1-what-do-i-mean-by.simplecast.com/episodes/rr-podcast-e24-p1-dr-aaron-french-us-from-the-future-magic-technology-rosicrucians-steiner-new-age-ufoshttps://rejected-religion-introductory-episode-1-what-do-i-mean-by.simplecast.com/episodes/rr-pod-e24-p2-dr-aaron-french-us-from-the-future-magic-technology-rosicrucians-steiner-new-age-ufosDr. Aaron French(99+) Aaron French | Universität Erfurt - Academia.eduAaron J.

On June 24th, 1947, a private pilot and fire suppression equipment manufacturer named Kenneth Arnold was flying south of Mount Rainier, bound for Yakima, Washington. At about 3 PM he saw a flash of light in the air to the north of the mountain, and subsequently he saw a long chain of flying objects passing in front of the mountain. He described them as having convex shapes, and this was soon changed to the term “flying saucer". Arnold's was in fact not the first UFO sighting following the Second World War; nor was it even part of the first wave of sightings of strange things in the sky. Yet something unprecedented did happen after 1947, not only in the United States, but around the world–not necessarily involving aliens, but very much involving humans. As Greg Egighian observes in his new book After the Flying Saucers Came: A Global History of the UFO Phenomenon, UFO sightings “have made people wonder, fret, question, probe, and argue. In that regard, they have revealed more about human beings than about alien worlds. And that is a story worth investigating.” Greg Eghigian is a Professor of History and Bioethics at Pennsylvania State University. He is the author of The Corrigible and the Incorrigible: Science, Medicine, and the Convict in Twentieth Century Germany and the editor of The Routledge History of Madness and Mental Health, among other works. For Further Investigation Greg Egighian suggests the following books for your UFO history reading list: Matthew Bowman, The Abduction of Betty and Barney Hill David Clarke, How UFOs Conquered the World: The History of a Modern Myth D.W. Pasulka, American Cosmic Sarah Scoles, They Are Already Here: UFO Culture and Why We See Saucers Garrett M. Graff, UFO: The Inside Story of the US Government's Search for Alien Life Here – and Out There Brenda Denzler, The Lure of the Edge: Scientific Passions, Religious Beliefs, and the Pursuit of UFOs From the HT archives, if you haven't heard them, then give a listen to somewhat related episodes: Iwan Rhys Morus on "How the Victorians Took Us to the Moon," and Tom Misa on the "History of Technology, from Leonardo to the Internet" D'où venons-nous? Que sommes-nous? Où allons-nous? Peter Berger on Secularism and Relativism; and a full-length video of the same lecture

In this enriching exploration of the perplexing world of UFOs, disclosure phenomena, and the Law of One, Doug Scott and Austin Bridges delve into how these complex layers of existence intersect and influence each other. Our conversation revisits earlier perspectives and discusses crucial recent developments, notably the emergence of insider whistleblower David Grush, a former Air Force intelligence officer responsible for investigating UAPs and the groundbreaking proposals in the field of UFO disclosure. The discussion further explores the understanding of UFO phenomena from the standpoint of social influencers, contentious debunkers, and distinguished academicians, examining the profound cultural and individual impacts. This episode takes you deep into the philosophies and spiritual perspectives surrounding the UFO phenomena, moving beyond the simplistic believers versus skeptics' viewpoint. Engage in deep contemplation about the nature of consciousness and the dynamics of reality as we navigate through Jungian dream interpretation and philosophical discussions on symbolism. This episode broadens the perspective on the UFO phenomena, articulating how it embodies both elements of positive evolution and fear instilling influence, often leading to confusion. Our exploration of the integration of the Law of One, metaphysics, and process theology sheds light on the understanding of polarity, the moral realm, and humanity's ascent into the fourth density. The episode also delves into academic discourses around UFOs, emphasizing the complexity inherent to such subjects and the importance of academia as the foundation for societal progression. Conclude with a stimulating discussion about the balance of positivity and negativity in collective consciousness, examining humanity's alignment with the influx of information. This final contemplation agrees on a divine pull towards unity and wholeness and the influential role intellectuals play as bridge builders for future progress.

VYS0038 | Fuck Capitalism! - Vayse to Face with Rob Kristoffersen - Show Notes Unable to put off dedicating an episode to the UFO mystery any longer, Hine and Buckley welcome researcher, podcaster and writer Rob Kristoffersen. Rob is the creator and host of the incredibly popular podcast Our Strange Skies: UFOs Throughout History, co-creator of the web-comic Welcome UFO People and expert on all things extra-terrestrial, ultra-terrestrial, crypto-terrestrial and any other form in which the phenomenon may choose to manifest. Rob talks about his own weird experiences and Hine and Buckley waste no time in asking him the questions that keep them awake at night: What exactly is it that people are seeing when they see UFOs? Are UFO and alien encounters a range of different experiences and phenomena or are they all the same thing viewed through different lenses? What's the deal with Whitley Strieber and what the deal with Jacques Vallée? Is there a connection between UFOs and death? What's really behind the whole Disclosure movement? Which Cryptid has the best PR person? and what does Rob really think about capitalism...?

How is being a guest on the Joe Rogan Experience? When did religion begin? Are UFOs real? What are the fallen angels?   In this episode we have the great pleasure of having Diana Walsh Pasulka as a guest. She is an American academic known primarily for her work in the fields of religious studies and the sociology of religion. Diana is a professor at the University of North Carolina Wilmington. One of her most notable contributions is her research and writing on the subject of UFOs (Unidentified Flying Objects) and their cultural impact. Her book "American Cosmic: UFOs, Religion, Technology" explores the connections between technology, religion, and the belief in extraterrestrial life. In this book, Pasulka examines how the UFO phenomenon has evolved into a form of contemporary spirituality, influencing both popular culture and some technological advancements. Pasulka's work in this area is characterized by an interdisciplinary approach, combining religious studies, digital media studies, and sociology to explore how supernatural and extraterrestrial themes are integrated into modern religious and spiritual contexts. Her perspective is often seen as bridging the gap between academic research and more popular understandings of UFOs and related phenomena.   Here latest book Encounters can you find here: https://a.co/d/6ch1BTJ We talk about: 00:00 Book explores purgatory and Catholic supernatural encounters. 07:09 Diverse religions, surprising facts in interdisciplinary studies. 13:35 Interest in problem of evil. 20:11 Europeans began study and analyze angels taxonomy. 22:58 Unexplained presence in our atmosphere raises questions. 27:12 Historical record shows connection between light and spirituality. 34:35 Fascination with scientific trash retrievals revealed. 42:14 Physicists suggest UFO phenomena can be explained. 44:16 Book "They Flew" explores levitation in religion. 49:19 New Mexico crash site, possible UFO retrieval. 55:15 Scientist from Australia, UFO experiencer, variety. 01:04:11 Discovering technology through unexpected encounters and caution. 01:08:16 Balancing work and family with limited consistency. 01:12:36 Forthcoming book co-authored with AI specialist.

In Episode 343 of Hidden Forces, Demetri Kofinas speaks with Diana Pasulka, a professor of religious studies who writes and teaches about the history of the Catholic tradition and new religious movements. Her work in this field has led her to study UFOs, or what we now call Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP), about which she has written two books: American Cosmic and Encounters, both of which form the basis for much of this conversation. In the first hour of their conversation, Pasulka and Kofinas discuss why so many people with reputable track records and prestigious positions in academia, government, and the private sector have devoted and continue to devote their lives to investigating this phenomenon. They also discuss what it is that is being alleged by people who claim to have knowledge of the UAP and UFO phenomenon and what sorts of explanations make sense in the context of what we know to be true today. The second hour of their conversation is devoted to answering two fundamental questions. The first has to do with the nature and operational structure of government. Specifically, how is it that the United States Congress—the most powerful legislative body in the world—has been unable to get the answers to basic questions about secret UAP programs allegedly run out of government agencies and military contractors? Second, if some of what is discussed in the first hour is true, what else must be true, and what underlying assumptions about the world, our perception of it, and our place in it need to be re-evaluated or discarded altogether?

A long, thoughtful saunter through some new and some familiar terrains.  We dive headfirst into D. W. Pasulka's new book Encounters, with its of-the-moment diagnosis of the UFO culture, its odd Rosicrucian connections, new angles on the same old flying discs, and vaguely apocalyptic tone. AI, angelic visions, Jacques Vallee's library,  squaring the circle, and more. Plus: Macer-Story's rare classic  Congratulations: The UFO Reality; a look at the blending of occult fiction into occult "reality" through an excellent scholarly essay on  the subject (linked below); a brief glance at the peculiar Rosicrucianism of Pensatia; synchronicities and dreams aplenty.

VYS0031 | The Truman Show? - Vayse to Face with Willow Truman We interrupt your regularly scheduled reality to bring you a broadcast directly from the weird and wonderful mind of researcher and podcaster Willow Truman, co-host of the superlative Nonsense Bazaar podcast. Willow pulls Hine and Buckley straight into the eye of her synchronicity storm as reality itself begins to unfurl - do we live in someone else's reality or do we create our own? Which non-human entity convinced Willow to quit smoking? How did peanut butter nearly derail the entire interview? ... and can anyone remember the fifth Teletubby?...

The UFO has been called a "technological angel" and the central mythic symbol of the modern age; we examine some of the extraordinary stories, from throughout history, of strange lights and objects seen flying through the sky, from medieval Italy to modern New Mexico, and consider carefully the problems that they present -- for historians, as well as for government, and for ordinary people who want to fit the strange and anomalous into our understanding of the world. Suggested further reading: Diana Walsh Pasulka, "American Cosmic"; Vallee & Aubeck, "Wonders in the Sky"; Ross Coulthart, "In Plain Sight"; Graeme Rendall, "The Foo Fighters," Debrief Magazine, Dec. 2021. Correction: The biologist to whom D.W. Pasulka refers as "James" in "American Cosmic" is Garry P. Nolan, not Craig P. Nolan.

On Thursday July 18th, 2019 the Hermetic Hour will review and discuss "American Cosmic" by Diane Pasulka. Again our guest reviewer will be Frater Dumuzi. Diane Pasulka is a professor of religious studies and approaches the UFO phenomenon from her academic perspective. She is a colleague of Jacques Vallee and shares many of his views. She quotes Carl Jung and cites the experiences and work of numerous "experiencers" (her term for contactees). She compares the UFO sightings and encounters to religious and mystical encounters such as the Miracle of Fatima and UFO artifacts to the Shroud of Turin. She also suggests that popular media feeds and perpetuates the phenomenon. Her approach is very subjective and impressionistic and her narrative is rambling and not well focused, but this, in and of itself, reflects the history of the activity she is attempting to describe. So, if you think "The Truth is Out There" tune in and we'll look in Dr. Pasulka's X-Files.

Dr. Diana Pasulka is a writer and professor of religious studies. Her most recent book, American Cosmos, is a plain-clothes investigation into the way beliefs are constructed, maintained, and exchanged at a cultural level. In it, Pasulka catalogues her journey through the highest echelon of the UAP world, and the surprising identities of the monastic mystics she found there. We talk about disclosure, belief, meaning, the speciation event, and covert government operations.

The very possibility that they could represent vehicles piloted by non-human intelligences from another world challenges us as a civilization to ask paradigm shifting questions about ourselves, and our place in the Universe. In this episode, Cristina Gomez talks with Dr. Diana Pasulka about those implications, especially in regards to religion.Diana Walsh Pasulka is a professor of religious studies at the University of North Carolina, Wilmington. Works include American Cosmic (Oxford University Press 2019), Heaven Can Wait (Oxford University Press 2014), as well as two co-authored books about religion and technology and academic essays, podcasts, and lectures. She is the head editor, in cooperation with the Vatican and the Esalen Center for Theory and Research, of the translation project of the canonization records of the saint, Joseph of Copertino. Her current book is Contact 21, a continuation of the research of American Cosmic. Dr. Pasulka's research spans Catholic history to modern day reports of UAPs and UFOs. American Cosmic has been featured in mainstream presses such as Vice, Vox, Fox News, Tank, The Los Angeles Review of Books, Publisher's Weekly, and Kirkus Reviews. Dr. Pasulka has been interviewed by The History Channel, Showtime, as well as being featured on podcasts including Vox Media's Ezra Klein, Mysterious Universe, Coast to Coast, and Lex Fridman. ABOUT SHIFTING THE PARADIGM -Shifting the Paradigm is a weekly show with a format that is centered around streaming on KUNX Talk Radio, Talkstream Live, and Paranormal Radio. In each episode, Cristina Gomez interviews specialists in their fields, be it authors, field investigators, researchers, or pioneers in the topics of unusual mysteries, strange places, mysterious events, and the big questions that challenge our understanding, and paradigm.

In the 2019 book American Cosmic, scholar Diana Pasulka offers a surprising and original perspective on one of my favorite topics: UFOs. She proposes that UFOs and the obsession with them has become a type of post-secular religion. She even shows that modern accounts of UFO encounters closely resemble religious visions of yesteryear. But one of the most interesting things about Pasulka's book is what she shares about the shift she underwent personally as she studied more and more about the subject—from somewhat skeptical to more and more curious to eventually convinced that there is a real phenomenon that we need to study. She was helped along on that journey by two individuals, scientists who are part of what is sometimes called the “Invisible College,” meaning researchers and academics who study this phenomenon but don't talk publicly about it. One of those individuals, celebrated Stanford professor Gary Nolan, has since become more public. And UFOs have as well. The subject has emerged from underground counterculture conversations into something approaching the mainstream. Even government is getting involved, with the recent congressional hearings (something I discussed with Australian journalist Ross Coulthart on an earlier episode of this podcast). For this episode, I'm happy to have the opportunity to talk to this unique religious scholar who is delving deeply into the more esoteric dimensions of subject—beyond the “nuts and bolts” of UFO research. Her inquiry is less about sightings of physical aircrafts (though she does share a fascinating story of being taken, blindfolded, to an alleged crash site in the desert)—and more focused on consciousness, subjective experience, and meaning. Indeed, there is a dimension of this phenomenon that interfaces with spiritual or ontological aspects of the human experience in ways that are unusual, surprising, and sometimes just, well, strange. I've wanted to talk to Dr. Pasulka for a long time and I'm thrilled to finally have her on the podcast. 

Author and professor Dr. Diana Pasulka joins Blurry Creatures for an enlightening view into the convergence of UFO culture and religion. Chair of the Department of Philosophy and Religion at UNC-Wilmington, Dr. Pasulka wrote American Cosmic in 2019, which explores the connections between UFOs, religion, and technology. Over the course of a six-year ethnographic study, she interviewed successful and influential scientists, professionals, and Silicon Valley entrepreneurs who believe in extraterrestrial intelligence---bringing the topic of UFOs out of the fringe and into the mainstream. Dr. Pasulka graciously unpacks her journey in academia and its unlikely collision with the UFO phenomenon. She shares her own personal experience reviewing historical no-access documents in the Vatican and explores the relationship the church has had and continues to have with unexplained UFO experiences. Is the thriving belief system in extraterrestrial life, changing traditional religions or becoming a religion unto itself? Is how people interpret unexplainable experiences changing in the wake of media and pop culture? Come down the rabbit hole and find out.

Diana Walsh Pasulka, author of Bania: A Memoir from Hungary, tells Lexman about life in Hungary before, during, and after the fall of the Berlin Wall. Pasulka recounts moments of political and social turmoil as well as her search for equilibrium. She shares anecdotes about her family and friends and describes the experiences that informed her book.

In part one of this 3-part series on the UFO lore connected to WWII and Nazi Germany, we begin by doing a deep dive into the emergence of UFO lore itself. While there is a ton of UFO lore connected to WWII, what is largely considered to be the first modern UFO sighting didn't happen until 1947—2 years after the war ended. So to understand exactly what was going on during WWII, we need to first understand, not just how UFO lore first emerged, but how belief systems in general emerge and evolve over time.We'll talk about the ontological complexity of the 20th century, the sequence of events in 1947 that shaped our modern understanding of the phenomenon, and dive deeper into the mystery surrounding the lore to ask some of the bigger questions. This includes one question that I never thought I'd ask, which is—could the emergence of UFO mythology be the seeds of a modern religion?A massive shout out to Diana Walsh Pasulka for her incredible book, American Cosmic, which helped me look at the phenomenon in a whole new light and played a big role in shaping this episode.

I denne bonusepisode taler Frederik og Anja med Dr. Diana Walsh Pasulka om UFO-tro blandt akademikere og 'det usynlige kollegium', der er et term for en lang række af aktive, respekterede forskere og akademikere, der alle mener, at UFO'er har besøgt os. Alle arbejder de i skyggerne, og Pasulka har fulgt flere af dem, der blandt andet mener, at have fundet vragstumper fra ikke-jordiske fartøjer. Vi taler også med tidligere jagerpilot Søren Sørensen, der har gennemlæst den klassificerede Pentagon-rapport, der for nyligt blev tilgængelig i en begrænset version. Tilrettelægger og vært: Frederik Dirks Gottlieb. Produceret for DR af Firkantede Øjne IVS.

Boy, do we cover a lot of ground in these 2 episodes! As I state in my introduction to Part 1, over beer & pizza my cousin Andres tells me about this awesome author he's read who he thinks would be a good fit for CT. Man, he was right. Our guest is Dr. Diana Walsh Pasulka author of 'American Cosmic: UFOs, Religion, Technology' and 'Heaven Can Wait: Purgatory in Catholic Devotional and Popular Culture.' Dr. Pasulka has a B.A. from University of California, Davis, an M.A. from Graduate Theological Union, Berkeley, and a Ph.D. from Syracuse University. She is currently a professor in the department of Philosophy and Religion at the University of North Carolina Wilmington and is the chair of the American Academy group Death and Dying.

**This episode was originally published in April, 2021, but was dropped from the RSS feed** It is an undisputed fact that some of America's top scientists log long hours and strange devotions to the suspected remains of crashed flying saucers. In her book, "American Cosmic: UFOs, Technology, Religion," Dr. Diana Pasulka reports from inside this community of talented Americans obsessed with alien spacecraft. She also argues that, following the lead of their technogentsia, ordinary Americans are falling under the sway of a new popular religiosity devoted to extraterrestrials. Because Dr. Pasulka is chair of philosophy and religion at the University of North Carolina Willmington, we examine her incredible claims with the utmost seriousness. Is Dr. Pasulka a lucky scholar who beat the public to alien disclosure? Has she stumbled into the midst of a new "scientific" cult? or is she a pawn in our government's cynical quest to control a budding new form of spirituality? If you listen to this episode, you will be able to decide for yourself whether aliens, angels, demons, madness (or none of the above) now obsess the hearts and minds of America's most capable researchers. This is a rare episode at the crossroads of the future of the United States and the salvation of our own immortal souls!

Sydney and David eat up the second half of D. W. Pasulka's "American Cosmic: UFOs, Religion, Technology" a six year study where the author explores a new American cosmic religion.  Sydney uncovers Scott Brown's UFO facebook group and the dreams that started it all and discusses Jacques Vallee's apparitions of the UFO phenomena.  Cosmic feast gets their minds bent with Zen Koans, the synchronicities of technology and Tyler D's theory that humans ARE technology.  Ray Hernandez and the story that started the FREE foundation gets served, and its a hot one, compliments of that fluid place we call reality. 

Sydney serves up the first part of D. W. Pasulka's "American Cosmic: UFOs, Religion, Technology" a six year study where the author interviews the scientists and Silicon Valley entrepreneurs to discuss their relationship with non-human intelligences and the new cosmic religion.  Did non-human intelligences or gods give us modern technology? Sydney discusses the origins of creativity and redefines angels while answering the ultimate question...Who is Tyler D?  David questions where aliens fit into the physical and spiritual spectrum. 

We analyze the Amazon film BLISS! Lots of people asked for this one and I see why! There is a massive amount of symbolism: Gnosticism, Simulation Theory, Sophia Wisdom, Platonic solids, Turtles (YES- TURTLES like from Dr Diana Pasulka's show and IT), Pleiades as the source of occult wisdom, Lighthouses, Blavatsky and so much more!

Don't drink bleach. That seems obvious like along the lines of don't go swimming when there's lightning or run for president when you have no interest in governing. But yet countless cleaning products had to take to social media discouraging users from drinking them because Donald Trump said it could knock out coronavirus. Where did he get this "tremendous" idea? Co-hosts Beth and Kelly talk about the possible origins of Dr. Trump's most recent batshittery in today's episode. And please, don't drink bleach.

More than half of American adults and more than 75 percent of young Americans believe in intelligent extraterrestrial life. This level of belief rivals that of belief in God. American Cosmicexamines the mechanisms at work behind the thriving belief system in extraterrestrial life, a system that is changing and even supplanting traditional religions. Over the course of a six-year ethnographic study, Dr. Pasulka interviewed successful and influential scientists, professionals, and Silicon Valley entrepreneurs who believe in extraterrestrial intelligence, thereby disproving the common misconception that only fringe members of society believe in UFOs. She argues that widespread belief in aliens is due to a number of factors including their ubiquity in modern media like The X-Files, which can influence memory, and the believability lent to that media by the search for planets that might support life. American Cosmic explores the intriguing question of how people interpret unexplainable experiences, and argues that the media is replacing religion as a cultural authority that offers believers answers about non-human intelligent life. Pasulka and Shermer also discuss: the definition of religion fictional religions and historical religions Jediism as a religion new religious movements and cults Mormonism and Christianity Scientology as a UFO religion how to be spiritual without religion Nietzsche, Jung, and archetypes scientific truths and mythical truths astronomical observatories and medieval cathedrals UFOs as Sky Gods for Skeptics; aliens as deities for atheists, and the rise of the Nones and the future of growth of new religions. Diana Pasulka is a professor of religious studies at the University of North Carolina Wilmington, and chair of the Department of Philosophy and Religion. Her current research focuses on religious and supernatural belief and practice and its connections to digital technologies and environments. She is the author and co-editor of numerous books and essays, the most recent of which are Believing in Bits: Digital Media and the Supernatural, co-edited with Simone Natalie and forthcoming from Oxford University Press, and Posthumanism: the Future of Homo Sapiens, co-edited with Michael Bess (2018).

On this week’s “Edge of Reality Radio,” Lee Speigel looks at the idea that more than 75% of young Americans believe in intelligent extraterrestrial life, and how this level of belief may rival a belief in God. Dr. Diana Pasulka, a professor of religion at the University of No. Carolina discusses scientists who believe their innovative technologies are inspired by alien artifacts.

Get ready to explore the edge of our Galaxy and beyond as Professor Diana Pasulka joins the show to talk about aliens, technology, and new forms of religiosity! Professor Pasulka discusses some surprising sources of information about extraterrestrials and she and Rami explore how people have unknowingly altered the very fabric of their realities through exposure to digital technologies.

On Thursday July 18th, 2019 the Hermetic Hour will review and discuss "American Cosmic" by Diane Pasulka. Again our guest reviewer will be Frater Dumuzi. Diane Pasulka is a professor of religious studies and approaches the UFO phenomenon from her academic perspective. She is a colleague of Jacques Vallee and shares many of his views. She quotes Carl Jung and cites the experiences and work of numerous "experiencers" (her term for contactees). She compares the UFO sightings and encounters to religious and mystical encounters such as the Miracle of Fatima and UFO artifacts to the Shroud of Turin. She also suggests that popular media feeds and perpetuates the phenomenon. Her approach is very subjective and impressionistic and her narrative is rambling and not well focused, but this, in and of itself, reflects the history of the activity she is attempting to describe. So, if you think "The Truth is Out There" tune in and we'll look in Dr. Pasulka's X-Files.

Belief in aliens could be America's next religion Article Link: https://theoutline.com/post/7215/american-cosmic-review-aliens-are-extremely-real?zd=2&zi=losn7tju ‘American Cosmic' explores how the once-fringe phenomenon has taken root among the powerful The aliens have landed. Or at least, they're about to. That's a reasonable takeaway when a renowned Harvard astronomer publicly declares, without apparent fear of repercussion, that he believes an alien spaceship may be orbiting our planet. Belief in the little green men (or tall, suspiciously Nordic, hyper-enlightened space brethren, depending on whose accounts you believe) has long been a one-way ticket to social disrepute. But that seems to be changing. A new book by D.W. Pasulka — professor and chair of the department of philosophy and religion at the University of North Carolina Wilmington — American Cosmic: UFOs Religion, and Technology, focuses not on grassroots investigative societies or marginal cults, but on UFO believers in the halls of power. Polling shows that 35 percent of Americans believe that extraterrestrials came to earth in the past, and 26 percent believe that aliens have visited in modern times. This in itself does not necessarily make a new religion. Americans also believe, to varying degrees, in ghosts, Atlantis, and telekinesis. But according to Pasulka, UFO beliefs display other classic indicators of religion: sacred sites, sacred revelations, and testimony by credible witnesses to miraculous events. To the degree that alien religion is parasitic on established scriptures and traditions, it resembles what sociologist Daniel O'Keefe calls a magical protest sect.

Belief in aliens could be America's next religion Article Link: https://theoutline.com/post/7215/american-cosmic-review-aliens-are-extremely-real?zd=2&zi=losn7tju ‘American Cosmic' explores how the once-fringe phenomenon has taken root among the powerful The aliens have landed. Or at least, they're about to. That's a reasonable takeaway when a renowned Harvard astronomer publicly declares, without apparent fear of repercussion, that he believes an alien spaceship may be orbiting our planet. Belief in the little green men (or tall, suspiciously Nordic, hyper-enlightened space brethren, depending on whose accounts you believe) has long been a one-way ticket to social disrepute. But that seems to be changing. A new book by D.W. Pasulka — professor and chair of the department of philosophy and religion at the University of North Carolina Wilmington — American Cosmic: UFOs Religion, and Technology, focuses not on grassroots investigative societies or marginal cults, but on UFO believers in the halls of power. Polling shows that 35 percent of Americans believe that extraterrestrials came to earth in the past, and 26 percent believe that aliens have visited in modern times. This in itself does not necessarily make a new religion. Americans also believe, to varying degrees, in ghosts, Atlantis, and telekinesis. But according to Pasulka, UFO beliefs display other classic indicators of religion: sacred sites, sacred revelations, and testimony by credible witnesses to miraculous events. To the degree that alien religion is parasitic on established scriptures and traditions, it resembles what sociologist Daniel O'Keefe calls a magical protest sect. These sects arise when dominant organized religion feels too restrictive or lifeless. They expropriate aspects of the religions they protest, and repurpose them in ways that allow participants to directly manipulate the sacred. Whether ufology will fully morph into what we currently recognize as religion is still an open question. For one thing, the completion of the process would detract from its current appeal.

This is a repost of our January show with guest Dr. Pasulka, author of American Cosmic: UFOs, Religion and Technology. Due to some recent issues with our show's inability to pause or rewind (which has now been fixed) we are re-airing the "fixed" shows.

On episode 93 of SOMEWHERE IN THE SKIES, Ryan welcomes author and professor of religious studies, Diana Walsh Pasulka to the show to talk about her new book, American Cosmic: UFOs, Religion, Technology.  More than half of American adults and more than seventy-five percent of young Americans believe in intelligent extraterrestrial life. This level of belief rivals that of belief in God. American Cosmic examines the mechanisms at work behind the thriving belief system in extraterrestrial life, a system that is changing and even supplanting traditional religions. Over the course of a six-year ethnographic study, Pasulka interviewed successful and influential scientists, professionals, and Silicon Valley entrepreneurs who believe in extraterrestrial intelligence, thereby disproving the common misconception that only fringe members of society believe in UFOs. American Cosmic explores the intriguing question of how people interpret unexplainable experiences and argues that the media is replacing religion as a cultural authority that offers believers answers about non-human intelligent life and the enigmatic phenomena often connected to all this... UFOs.
