Podcast Archive » The Experience – 2017

As with "alien abductions," sometimes Super Natural phenomena haunts a family down through its lineage. Is it going somewhere? Is there someone in the family who is supposed to do something with–or outright change–the narrative surrounding lifetimes of terrifying experiences? Meet Scott…. continued

We pick up our conversation from last week with "Norm", who takes us into the high strangeness experiences that populate the spiritual paths he travels. continued

Do all spiritual paths the world over lead to the same central insight or ultimate experience? Or do they lead to their own unique outcomes? We’ll get to that question. But first, let’s see what some of these paths have in store for us by examining the experiences of "Norm," a man who has walked ...continued

How does a woman raised to be a Catholic nun end up becoming a seer and doctor of indigenous medicine? Meet Phyllis Bala. After an explosive night of kundalini awakening and the long, painful ordeal that followed, she understood her role in the world much, much differently. And she began to learn from ancestors around ...continued

Thanksgiving: The Experience is on hiatus this week. Have a happy Thanksgiving! We return next week with a great new show. In the meantime, big news: Whitley and Anne’s new book the Afterlife Revolution is available for preorder for Kindle and will be available shortly for all ebook readers, in paperback ...continued

We often talk about using intention to manifest the Super Natural or "call in" UFOs. But what about just good old fashioned paying attention? What if UFOs are always around but we’re too distracted with other things to notice them? This week, Jueno returns to explore this question, and many others, by way of examples ...continued

If it is true that paying attention to Super Natural phenomena revs it up in one’s life, then does the quality of that attention count? Does contact happen from out of the depths of attention? continued

Is it possible to square all of the high strangeness phenomena reported in ufology with aliens or time travelers? David says yes, Jeremy says no, and Stephen says sometimes in this well-rounded roundtable discussion of what we believe is probable and why. And as tidy as that sounds, it wouldn’t be The Experience without a ...continued

Last week we heard all about the near death experience. This week we will hear about the shared death experience. But first, our returning guest, Christopher, takes us through his life as an intermediary in both ufological and near death experiences, which should no longer be considered two different subjects, but factions of the same ...continued

Did you know that near-death experiences and visitor phenomena have a connective thread? They do: kundalini energy. This week’s episode is packed with information straight out of Dr. Kenneth Ring’s near-death and "alien abduction" studies, as brought to us by Christopher, a man who worked on The Omega Project during his college years. continued

We pick up where we left off in "Marie’s" chronology of lifelong high strangeness experiences. The depth of experience is on full display here, as are new possibilities, new clues about the nature of certain phenomena and the nature of our responses to them. continued

What sort of a world do psychically awakened people see? Is there consensus reality there?How do they maneuver in it? This week we will be talking to Matt, a man with an ability to heal using psychic means. How does he do it? What is he experiencing? continued

Private conversations, listener comments, and Jeremy Vaeni’s latest personal experience are the ingredients to this week’s super natural stew. The taste is out of this world! continued

Using his latest high strangeness experience as a leaping off point, Jeremy Vaeni takes us into the question of whether or not experiencers are fantasy prone. He concludes that, in large part, they are. continued

When you think of a Ouija Board, do you smirk? This week’s guest did. But not for long. continued

Often on our quest for knowledge we forget that we don’t actually know anything with certainty. Why is that? What could be missing from the equation? continued

The maestro himself, Whitley Strieber, returns to talk about the dark forces trying to sabotage his life and the Unknown Country website. Where do they come from? What do they want? And what is in us that can render them impotent? This episode, we’ll peel back the curtain on the dark hearts among us to ...continued

Is there an intelligence that reflects back at us through encounter experiences the things we need to work on to become a full expression of ourselves? Continuing where last week’s show left off, we will hear a bizarre and joyful encounter with a gray being rich in imagery and meaning that was also a physically ...continued

What happens when an experiencer who doesn’t know he’s an experiencer reads continued

Jeffrey J. Kripal holds the J. Newton Rayzor Chair in Philosophy and Religious Thought at Rice University. continued

Ghosts waving, "Hi." UFOs that respond to thought. Grays floating in air. A lifetime full of… a town full of… experiencers. But for one man it all started with a childhood illness. And an otherworldly Muppet Show.  continued

The Experience is on hiatus this week. Check out Jeremy’s new website OurUndoing.com. continued

Much has been made of Whitley Strieber’s book-that-won’t-quit, The Key that brings to mind 2 simple questions: How do we discern an experiencer’s truthfulness when they bring forth extraordinary claims with no direct evidence? And, What are our motives in asking? continued

This week’s guest, artist Lachlan Wardlaw, takes us on a journey to the Amazon by plane and to the mind of Nature by ayahuasca. continued

Aliens, angels, dragons, fairies, messenger birds. If we could see the substance that holds together dimensions, would we see beings occupying it? Would those beings be real or a "living" representation of the stuff of our minds? This week’s guest "Harley" may provide a clue. continued

Tribute to the Amazing Mac Tonniescontinued

Lehua Lopez: Madam Pele is Realcontinued

Given the huge number of prophecies that don’t come true, it would be fair to say that they aren’t random, but actually anti-probable–in effect, less likely to happen than random events. That’s why Joe Gooch was pretty stunned when a personal prophecy he got from a spiritualist medium years ago unexpectedly came true. Listen as he ...continued

Have you ever closed your eyes and seen someone staring back at you? That is the leaping off point for this week’s episode with actor/musician Joe Gooch and author Verna Lee Hutton Ely. From Whitley Strieber: I have had this happen to me a lot. Often, it’s the same person. He’s a young man who looks vaguely ...continued

Fan favorites Verna Lee Hutton-Ely and, later in the episode, Joe Gooch join host Jeremy Vaeni to connect some dots between ghosts, psychic mediumship, timelessness and that tricky word "enlightenment" in ways you will not hear elsewhere. continued

Please note: the download and streaming issues on subscriber version of this show are fixed. The first half of this episode picks up where the last left off, giving insight into the Ka’u lineage of Hawaiian mysticism previously held secret from the outside world. The second half takes a turn into questions that, until now, have ...continued

In Hawaiian culture kahunas are masters of their craft. For some, that craft was magic. We have heard the stories of their greatness, but where did they go? What happened to their knowledge? Finally, we have real answers to that and some of the other mysteries of this amazing island nation that is really a ...continued

"Incubus." What does your mind conjure when you think of that word? Whatever comes to mind, set it aside, because this week’s show is another example of how the reality of high strangeness experiences don’t follow the cookie-cutter lines of typical books and documentaries. continued

In this second conversation with last week’s guest Verna Hutton-Ely, we travel the world to sacred sites as she regales us with tales of the sacred and the strange from her life. But first, did host Jeremy Vaeni have a prophetic dream about… Brad Pitt?! continued

This week’s guest, Verna Lee Hutton-Ely, has authored a work of fiction based on some of her experiences called, In the Shade of a Shadow of Reason: a Vlee of Twin Willows novel. Her experiences are numerous and appear to conform to her location and interests–another sign that there is a singular intelligence acting through ...continued

Without Reason author D. Nicholas Breitbach joins us to tell us what aliens, his higher self masquerading as a guardian angel, and a member of the Council of 9 have told him about the nature of god, the multiverse, alien civilizations, and more, while meditating… and it sounds suspiciously like every ufological fantasy meme from ...continued

This fourth and final conversation with Shawn takes us down a surprising road and the Trickster is there the whole way. No. Really. This is one of those rare episodes where paranormal events unfold as we’re recording! continued

It began with chronic synchronicities and déjà vu. It became slips in time, repeats of events, and shifts into a parallel world almost exactly the same but slightly off. In fact, that world may be our world. And Shawn may not be from here. If he didn’t think about that before this interview, he’s thinking ...continued
