Keith Thompson: The UFO Paradox (Myth, Mind & Consciousness) Episode #334

Journalist and author Keith Thompson (The UFO Paradox, Angels and Aliens) joins Mind Escape: New Telos to explore UFOs as modern myth, the relationship between belief and consciousness, and why the phenomenon defies simple explanation. We discuss the Ann Arbor swamp gas era and Keith’s early curiosity about the unknown, his insights on angels, demons, and spectral monsters, and how UFOs might represent both external reality and inner psyche. Thompson also reflects on his near-death experience while body-surfing, what it taught him about consciousness, and how thinkers like Jeff Kripal and Alan Watts influence his understanding of the paradox.
