This is a wide-ranging conversation with one of our great thinkers. Joshua Cutchin has published seven books in less than ten years, and each of these has pushed at the boundaries of how we understand the paranormal. This includes UFOs, cryptids, fairies, psi phenomenon, consciousness, the creative process, and death. We focus on the need to express our first person voice. There is no one I enjoy talking with more!

This is a short audio post, and it isn’t numbered because it’s not a formal interview.
Earlier this year, I gave a short talk about my work and my own experiences. This was at the Archives of the Impossible conference at Rice University in Houston, Texas. I was invited to this impressive event by Jeff Kripal and Karin Austin. I thank them at the beginning. I also said this was a big deal for me, and it was.

This follow-up conversation with Samantha was inspired by an owl. Really. The interview begins with me explaining why there needed to be a part two, and it involves an illustration created to match a psychic vision during meditation (see link below). This led to a deeper conversation on the fears, doubts, and challenges of UFO contact. Why do these elusive realms seem to overlap?
