Probing Ancient Aliens podcast

Probing Ancient Aliens

The History Channel's Ancient Aliens is a divisive show, to say the least, but science (and sci-fi) obsessed nerds, Steve & Joey, are exploring each episode of everyone’s favorite show about Ancient Astronaut Theory with equal parts love and skepticism...as well as the quirky researchers and experts that evangelize it. What has mainstream science debunked about Ancient Aliens in the years since it premiered? And what mysterious aspects of humanity’s origins are still best explained by theorists like Georgios Tsoukalos, Erich von Daniken, and the rest of this passionate crew of explorers?

Probing Gaia: Terence McKenna's 'Prague Gnosis' w/ Ram Dass

We wax philosophical on what we’re basically calling the one year anniversary of Probing Gaia! We return to modern guru Ram Dass, where he meets up with the sultan of psychedelics: Terence McKenna. Terence had a short-lived interview series called “Prague Gnosis,” where he interviewed someone that interested him in the Bohemian capitol of the Holy Roman Empire: Prague, Czech Republic. The questions get deep, the intelligence level is high, and the world play is elite - but a lot of fascinating points are made here and hopefully we’ve broken it down enough so that even if you’re new to all this philosophizing, it should make sense to you. Plus…cum jokes and stuff, as usual. Support the show at: PATREON.COM/PROBINGANCIENTALIENS - for exclusive podcasts every month!

Are the Knights Templar hiding the ark(s) of the covenant? Are they descendants of the pre-diluvian world before the Younger Dryas impact event that caused the Great Flood? Does Timothy actually make, from scratch, "manna," aka "semen" in this episode, literally on screen? You bet your porn doctor ass he does! Enjoy! ... Read more

Probing Gaia: Near Death Experiences - Raymond Moody's Legacy

Don't be so Moody - RAYMOND Moody, that is! He actually seems like a pretty cool guy and is the father of Near Death Experience research as we know it in the modern age. He's the one who's collected the data, done the studies, and written the books on the fundamentals of what he interprets the data to point towards. BUT, how does this stack up against the best boy Anthony Peake's all-encompassing Cheating the Ferryman hypothesis?! Many comparisons are made and discussed - enjoy!

Probing Gaia: 'Bigfoot's Reflection'

This 2007 Bigfoot documentary is great if you're new to the world of the "hairy wild man" of the Pacific Northwest, and would be much more at home as an episode of Ancient Aliens or some other History/Travel/Discovery channel show.

Old "Just for Men" George hosts a clip show of his own show about the spookiest part of spooky season: g-g-g-g-g-g-GHOOOOOSTS! Even though he has over 530 episodes to pull from, he basically grabs clips from 7 or 8 porn doctors to explain their take on the paranormal. George, like the weekend at Bernie's animated dead body that he is, is super dynamic as a host - he even says three and four word sentences sometimes! Enjoy! ... Read more

Probing Gaia: David Wilcock - 'Crop Circle Prophecies, 31680, and the New Jerusalem'

Wil-to-the-power-of-COCK is back baby! Old Five Heads at Freddies himself rears all five tanned, toothy faces here - with a seemingly failed perm, to boot - to discuss the quantum meanings behind crop circles, a very big arbitrary number that he says is the key to unlocking the “New Jerusalem,” and how, thanks to him and his buddy the archangel Michael, he has helped all of his fans, and the entire world’s population, to bypass all the bad stuff in the Book of Revelations, and how we just need to make it to 2025 to become citizens of this New Jerusalem that have been prophesied. We’re also…a little worried about David: he doesn’t seem well and is under a lot of stress, and it shows. Maybe another two-year hiatus is needed, but just take a vacation instead of writing seven books that you’re selling for over three hundred dollars this time. Oh, and he “owns” a company that is building hover cars. Enjoy! Support the show at: PATREON.COM/PROBINGANCIENTALIENS - for exclusive podcasts every month!

Probing Gaia: 'Mystery Teachings - Accessing the Quantum Gap' w/ Dr. Theresa Bullard

We dive back into the quantum realm with Ant-Man, the Wasp, Michael Douglas…and Dr. Theresa Bullard! She’s a pretty cool Ph.D. physicist who also is into new age/esoterica, and overall is a great asset to what SHOULD be science’s mission: explaining reality by exploring ALL the data, and not just sticking to old scientific dogma and making their data fit. We get into the real heady subject matter of quantum consciousness, and, as usual, Anthony Peake references abound as he continues to be the driving force behind tying all of this mind-warping stuff together while accommodating all of science, religion and philosophy.

This is actually a solid episode with tons of good EVPs in it, plus, we begin to get the more "refined" approach from Zak and the crew as the show's budget has clearly increased with its popularity.

Probing Gaia: 'OpenMinds: Scanning the Future w/ Philip K. Dick Featuring Anthony Peake'

This week, we’re absolutely droolin’ for DICK…Philip K. Dick that is! We’re double-dipping on Anthony Peake because he’s just that interesting. His Cheating the Ferryman theory and Daemon / Eidolon Dyad hypothesis have become an obsession here in the Probing world, but this episode of “OpenMinds” (bad name) is interviewing Peake about the award-winning sci-fi author of Blade Runner, Minority Report, and The Man in the High Castle (to name a few), whom he has written his own book about (that Joey is currently reading). Basically, he thinks Dick is a perfect example of his CTF theory and Daemon / Eidolon dyad. Because Dick was such a prolific writer, Peake has a billion factoids and nuggets to put together a pretty compelling case that Dick actually was a pre-cognitive individual due to having a Daemon in the form of VALIS…even to the point of seeing his own death.

Probing Gaia: 'Consciousness Connection with Anthony Peake'

We go deep into the PEAKE of the current space of philosophic thought - Anthony Peake, that is! This 2014 appearance on a strange Gaia show hosted by a French woman named Lilou is a great introduction to the wide-ranging “Cheating the Ferryman” philosophy that Peake has created (and heavily iterated upon) and shared with us during his lecture and workshop that we attended at Contact in the Desert. Joey has read three of his books since Contact, as well - it’s just that fascinating. Peake is for “the nature of consciousness and reality” what Hellier was for “the paranormal” to us: paradigm-shifting. This one gets real heady and out there, but we’re really interested in his stuff and we hope you are too after you listen to this! Enjoy! Here’s a recent 2023 lecture that Anthony gave for his Cheating the Ferryman book release that will also do a great job at giving you an overview if you don’t want to pay for a Gaia membership: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ae1xBJHDt2c&t=183s Support the show at: PATREON.COM/PROBINGANCIENTALIENS - for exclusive podcasts every month!
