🚨BREAKING🚨: Rice University Professor of Religion says a Lockheed Martin Skunk Works engineer sought his advice on whether levitating saints could explain UFO flight.
Dr. Jeffrey Kripal a professor of religious studies at Rice University runs one of the largest archives in the world on historical anomalies (alien abductions, levitating saints, non-local consciousness, parapsychology etc.). He worked directly with legendary UFO researcher and internet pioneer Jacques Vallee to establish these "Archives of The Impossible".
In 2017, Lockheed Skunkworks' head of Revolutionary Technologies Charles Chase invited Kripal to MIT to lecture on historical accounts of saints who reportedly levitated. Kripal knew the religious accounts and believes the reported levitators themselves were credible. And its possible these historical accounts related to modern UFO sightings today.
Kripal challenges the assumption that unexplained craft must cross immense distances in space to reach us and asked whether the phenomenon operates through time. He also believes the phenomenon is intrinsically linked with our own identity agreeing with the analysis of legendary Harvard Psychiatrist John Mack.
In this interview, he describes Elizabeth Krohn, who was struck by lightning in 1988, spoke to God in a near death experience and began to experience precognition and electromagnetic anomalies around her.
We discuss UFOs in the bible, and new models of time, space and metaphysics.
Kripal believes UFO disclosure could overwhelm today's scientific and religious institutions and describes that process as an apocalypse, simply meaning "an unveiling of reality". "We're going to lose this one," he joked, warning that such revelations become messy questioning whether our institutions can withstand it.
Finally, he reveals a story about Lockheed Martin Skunk Works engineer Charles Chase who asked him to visit MIT to lecture on flying saints.

If I could, I would require every Christian to listen to this biblical exposition. It’s about much more than Genesis.
It’s about letting scripture speak to you rather than you to it. This is Part 1. Part 2 drops next week.
whenever discussions about suicide come up i always return to this video. it’s the most poignant and empathetic thing i have ever heard someone say on the matter.
I wish somebody would’ve taught me this before I started reading my Bible.
If you want to know who Jesus is, read the book of John.
If you want to go deeper into your identity in Christ, read the book of Ephesians.
If you want to learn how to live in holiness in a GODLESS culture… read the book of 1 Corinthians.
If you want to have wisdom for life, read the book of Proverbs.
If you want to know the origin of the universe and everything that exists, and why the world is broken today, read the book of Genesis.
If you want to understand the Gospel and learn what you should believe as a Christian, read the book of Romans.
If you want to understand why life without God has no meaning (even if you achieve success, status, money, and pleasure…) read Ecclesiastes.
If you want to learn how to find joy in the midst of your trial and suffering, read Philippians.
If you want to hear how the church was born and what the first Christians did through the power of the Holy Spirit, read the book of Acts.
If you want to learn how to put your faith into practice, read the book of James.
If you want to learn how to pray with honesty, even in the midst of lament, read the book of Psalms.
If you want to see a preview of what will happen in the future and remind yourself that, in the end, Christ wins every battle, read the book of Revelation.
St Jerome was right when he said: “The Scriptures are shallow enough for a babe to come and drink without fear of drowning…. and deep enough for a theologian to swim in without ever touching the bottom"
You CANNOT read the Bible and not have it change your life.
Godfather of AI: "If you sleep well tonight, you may not have understood this lecture."
This 47-minute lecture is the best thing I've seen about AI in the last few months.
Hinton built the neural networks behind every AI alive, then quit Google to warn us it's already ahead of us on most cognitive tasks.
Despite that, most people open Claude, type one thing, close the tab and think they're using AI, but they're using maybe 10%.
I turned his talk into 17 Claude features 99% of users never find.
Watch the lecture, then read the article below.
That towel move is a real physical therapy technique called a self SNAG, and the speed of the relief tells you something most people never learn about their own neck. Muscle tissue takes weeks of loading to actually lengthen. So when stiffness vanishes in a few seconds, the muscle was never what changed.
What changed is the signal your brain was sending to it.
The small facet joints stacked down the back of your neck sit at roughly a 45 degree angle. When one of them gets irritated or stops gliding smoothly, your brain protects it by clamping down the surrounding muscles. That clamp is the stiffness you feel. The tissue underneath is usually fine, it's just being held under orders.
The towel edge hooks under one vertebra. When you pull forward and up along that 45 degree joint plane while turning your head, you glide the joint through the exact motion it was refusing, with support the whole way. Your brain gets live evidence the movement is safe and drops the clamp. Physical therapists do the same glide with their thumbs and call it a SNAG, short for sustained natural apophyseal glide. Brian Mulligan, the New Zealand physio who developed the method in the 1980s, designed the towel version specifically so patients could run it on themselves at home.
Which is why years of stretching can lose to thirty seconds with a towel. A stretch tries to overpower the brain's grip. A glide convinces it to let go.
I want to honor all those who are praying for me. All the prayer warriors, all the friends & all those supporting my work and my team. Thank you for covering us in prayer, thank you for believing. Thank you for your faith. And thank you 2819 Church for keeping my heart & soul in gratitude and in the word.
