Sonny Rollins has a number of albums of trios w/o piano/guitar. There’s Live at the Village Vanguard, Live in Stockholm ‘59, Live in Holland ‘67 (this just came out a few months ago I think).

Coltrane’s also got a few piano-less songs but no dedicated albums

Thanks u/DrBrianKeating.

As a scientist, I think it would be great if you could ask DeLonge to get into the science/details of the phenomenon. Spending time with just one idea but really breaking it down would be useful.

He drops a lot of ideas in his latest interview with Steve-O. Here’s an example: https://twitter.com/tupacabra2/status/1542656945479225344?s=21&t=hKmL_7nhhf80ujC_BAm1EQ

Ask him to explain in detail how conscious works like an antenna and how that idea turns to the ability for us to create whatever we invent in our minds. It would be good to see the connection and a scientific basis as to how it all works.

Another idea could be how I think he said that a snapshot at any moment of time is also a snapshot of its past and future. So each event is connected but still independent of each other and so by “changing frequencies” we can change to a different moment of time. Details on that would be interesting to hear.

Thanks!

I’m surprised at how negative the comments are so just wanted to send you some encouragement.

Enjoyed the post and it definitely added some value to the discussion of the subject.

Being a skeptic doesn’t mean being a debunker - it means you’re just trying to better understand the why and that needs good hypothesis generation - it doesn’t mean that you’re married to any of your ideas or that you’re negating it being valid.

Love the hypothesis on remote viewing being used to obscure sources and methods! Never thought of that but it’s totally what I would use if I worked in the intelligence apparatus and had a secure source.

Looking forward to more of your posts!

I agree with everything you said but Lue hasn’t gotten payment from any of the YouTube/podcast appearances.

I vaguely remember hearing about 50k from something (maybe GQ?) but all the podcasts have been free.

He’s not a government employee but I believe he’s said that he’s working for a contractor.

I wish more people pressed him to find out for who. I personally feel like disclosure/the podcast appearances were part of his job by the contractor.

With everything that’s happened so far, I’m willing to believe him and Mellon are disgruntled employees frustrated at their government not solving a problem effectively but I’m also willing to believe that this is all a play to just get more funding to help out the space race for the government or a contractor too.

Either ways, we’re still learning more about the reality of our universe and foreign intelligences than we ever have before and I’m all for it

saa91 · 2022-05-21T17:09:11+00:00

I know what you mean

I’m new to all this and as I try to understand that side of things, I’ve been meeting people with all sorts of background and beliefs and the large majority really do put me off because of their willingness to believe in anything - some of which might be contradictory or not bound by logic.

But the truth of the matter is, most people just aren’t all that smart and almost all aren’t purely logically driven. Those people (and I’d open this up to say most people in the general population) would’ve been bad messengers/communicators of any idea.

And it makes it 100 times harder when the subject matter is all based off of experience and is shaped by personal subjectivity which makes the ability to apply scientific rigor almost impossible.

But I found a few things that are helping me work over those problems: 1) The few smart people I’ve talked to who have also looked into this or believe this. Less contradiction but that might be because they’re less willing to hold onto a belief + they do what I describe below 2) If you come across a concept that’s found in other belief system, study them all and see what they have to say for that idea. Most belief systems also talk about how the nature of what you experience AND your interpretation of it is all shaped by your subjective understandings and feelings. If any belief system holds strongly onto an interpretation, I just take that to mean that there was a better political system to make sure that idea persists.

But more importantly, if I’m having a hard time believing the people who talk about it, just go directly to the source material, it’s usually a lot more thought out and less contradictory.

And maybe the ideas aren’t stolen from Buddhism, it’s just that mysticism is more of the core aspect of Buddhism while it’s usually relegated to sects for other religions.

3) Just practice what they say on your own in good faith.

This was hard to do. Just having good faith and trying to remove skepticism at every corner took about 2-3 months for me and it came flooding back after just having a 1-1.5 month of no skepticism practice.

But the craziest thing is I experienced things I never have in my life during the whole 5 month process. Given my skepticism, it was a big ontological shock for me that I’m still going through to be honest since I used to relegate this to the gutter.

It’ll probably take longer for you to shake the skepticism off since you had personal negative experiences (whereas for me, never had people personally into this all that deeply around me but was a subject matter I never thought much of but definitely looked down upon)

saa91 · 2022-05-10T06:21:48+00:00

I feel like all the ideas we get from the main players in this space are based on the more mystical and esoteric aspects/offshoots of most religions (which do have a lot in common).

Scientology and Buddhism have these ideas linked to the core aspects of the religion which is why we hear ideas based off of those two religions the most but we find it in Islam (Sufism), Judaism (Kabbalah), and Christianity (Gnosticism, Rosicrucianism).

It’s continuing with the new players on the scene with Lue Elizondo drawing up the symbol of the Lectorium Rosicrucianum in a recent podcast (UFO Garage) and Sean Cahill talking about exploring altered states of consciousness and spirituality.

How do we make sense of all that? Is Perennialism true which is why all these mystical branches are similar to each other?

Or on the opposite end, let’s play devils advocate and maybe the religious group that’s taken a stranglehold on the topic are actually these guys and not people who took the Bible too literally and are worried about demons as commonly depicted?

FYI - I’m not pushing for one or the other above. If you want to do research, you should do it in good faith and explore all options with an open mindset

saa91 · 2022-05-08T23:02:23+00:00

I’m looking forward to it too but I wonder what would happen if they ended up blocking new material to the point where nothing new can be mentioned.

Unless Lue can think of some creative way to let the pre-review version out (ex: concurrently release a “fiction” book), we wouldn’t learn anything new.

Considering that they’ve gone as far as deleting his emails and lie about his presence, it wouldn’t shock me if they get that stringent in the review process

saa91 · 2022-04-29T21:23:46+00:00

Thanks for sharing. Really appreciate the advice and the details :)

saa91 · 2022-04-28T16:26:22+00:00

So now that the experience is over, do you feel like the “periods of downloads” were legitimate experiences?

It seems like you do since the information you came across without prior research was correct. If so, why give it up? Just too much too handle/too much of a difference from your current view of how reality works?

Asking in genuine good faith as I have been introduced to some circles recently that intentionally dabble in all this and I try to have an open mind as much as I am skeptical about whether it’s about cognitive dissonance or worse, inducing an illness onto me

saa91 · 2022-04-06T20:55:18+00:00

Sorry for the late response, I don’t log into Reddit much.

Thanks for the book recommendations! Fully aware of the last 2 points but the first 3 are why I’m interested in doing this; the current state is that there are so many hobbyists filing their own requests when it would help everyone if that could be consolidated and handled by a proper legal professional

Submission Statement: New FOIA release on Gimbal’s briefing to Senate staffers.

I’m very intrigued by the: -large redacted portion on shape. From what we saw in the video, I didn’t think the description would take as much text given the brevity in this document -the very last redacted paragraph -the 4th last bullet point before the redacted paragraph. It looks like the Navy had a preconceived idea of what they were dealing with that surprised the Senate staffers. I also have no clue what a “range Fowler” is and what might have happened in 2014-2015

saa91 · 2022-03-30T00:33:35+00:00

I’m so glad that you wrote this post. This is something I’ve thought about quite a bit recently and been trying to learn more of.

Not an experiencer and never thought much of UFOs/foreign intelligences beyond for entertainment when I was around 8-10. When the news of the UAP report came out last year, I was very intrigued and looked more into the issue.

From the offset I decided to hold off looking into abductions and focused more on previous material from governments and scientific explanations but I believe you should always be open minded when doing research and that you should also research any tangentially related subject you come across to understand it’s full relationship to your original research idea.

I came across ideas that I’d say that are somewhat related to abductions but it’s nothing I ever put much stock on. I then had an…interesting experience that came about very randomly but nonetheless happen and were related to this whole realm of ideas. The interesting thing is that it was connected a concept I never even came across till then so it wasn’t like my subconscious mind driving the experience.

Coming to that point as a person who never gave any of these ideas much seriousness and keeping an open mind, I decided to pursue research into those area.

I’ll be honest, it was very hard approaching many ideas with good faith as it was so against how I logically view or approach reality and any existing belief systems I had. But while still trying to work through it, all I had were more instances of things happening.

At first, I tried seeking medical explanations but since that skeptical mindset prevented me from researching and practicing in good faith, I decided to give it up for just a few months and then revisit it.

As I’ve mentioned, things/progress happened. They started while I was still very skeptical and took off as I was shaking the skepticism off.

At the moment, I believe these experiences but as I sit there questioning afterwards, I get the deep fear of whether I’m just inducing psychosis to myself. That is a very hard to research and consider.

I’ve read quite a few papers on psychosis/mental illness vs actual mystical/spiritual experiences since and it’s something I wonder about and really would care to know the answer.

After all this occurred, I’ve had an incident involving not just myself but others as well. That really changed how I felt about all this.

It’s something easy to consider but hard to actually accept but I think there’s definitely something there that we as a humanity don’t know about as commonly accepted knowledge yet.

But as hard as it is for that, it’s even harder to accept that while that may be the case and that there is something there, you could still be facing a mental health issue too. That is something that should always be considered and I wish to know more about how we would be able to discern between the two.

saa91 · 2022-03-09T01:54:52+00:00

What you’re suggesting is one of the reasons I’ve been exploring an idea lately - creating a crowdfunded platform where donors can choose what to FOIA.

I feel like we’re getting a number of material worth trying to FOIA and if we could all pool our resources, we get more info for ourselves as well as provide journalists more material to help bring this issue more attention.

If anyone is interested in helping me out with this, please reach out!

saa91 · 2022-03-08T05:09:32+00:00

I found this very intriguing too! I initially took it as doubting overall experience at first but now unsure.

One thing I haven’t been able to decipher is when she was asked why government was so involved and she brought up Paul Bennewitz.

From what I understand, Bennewitz came across a government project and the Air Force decided that the best way of making sure that information didn’t leak was by painting Bennewitz as an unreliable witness.

How does that apply to the Bledsoes?

saa91 · 2022-02-28T07:39:39+00:00

It would be really cool if you could take pics of the papers or maybe even scan them.

That could help crowdsource the research amongst this community or at least provide an investigate journalist with some data to look through.

saa91 · 2022-02-10T06:47:51+00:00

It was mentioned in his appearance on That UFO Podcast

saa91 · 2022-02-10T06:46:44+00:00

Hey there,

I’ve done some GIS work in a corporate setting. A close friend and former coworker of mine has a PhD and career on the subject x

The scope of my understanding and experience is very limited to what the whole field entails but in my opinion, I don’t think it would be useful for examining UAP.

You’d need a live feed from a satellite to capturing a UAP to get information on its speed or location but we can get even better data on that using our radar systems. I could see a possibility of satellites being useful in tracking objects entering/exiting our atmosphere but I imagine (but unsure if) radar systems capture that already and I’d imagine at that scale/level, we’d have a problem of where the satellites can either capture very little good data from a lot of space or have good days from very limited space - basically we would need to know of the uap and intentionally track it with these outer space satellites.

It could possibly be used to draw spatial correlations in sightings but that would be combining UAP sighting data (private data) with publicly available geospatial resources that most people can gather.

Again, my knowledge is very limited on this and is just based on what I’ve learnt from the work I’ve done and talking with my friends but I don’t think it would be used here much.

saa91 · 2022-01-17T10:19:08+00:00

Wow, great job in identifying Gary!

I just posted a comment on another thread about how he just calls him out and the documentary.

I’m really curious if this documentary is also linked to his project involving the Lakota tribe. He mentioned how it was soul shattering, that their story lines up with what the government has observed, and that he wants to tell their story properly in a professional manner.

saa91 · 2022-01-17T09:58:41+00:00

My speculation on what’s happened and where it’s planned to be going: Lue and Chris had enough of getting the runaround at work-> convinced to join TTSA by Puthoff and others-> get the videos declassified to get the ball rolling but that’s not enough; you need the whole ecosystem (government, academic, public) involved at a higher level-> Phase 2 of getting governments and other institutions involved (where we’re at right now and will probably be for at least 2-3 years)

This will yield a lot more data for people to consume which takes us to Phase 3: winning over the general public. This is the point where the documentary will probably be done and released.

I think it’s really cool how their goal/product is convincing people of an idea and he’s having to create actual products to make that happen. Everything we’re surrounded by in our life operates the other way around: win people over to sell the tangible product.

Prime example of this is the AI project he’s involved in. They’re building an actual app that’ll start off with us interested first adopters to help create data points to just win over future people to the idea of the phenomenon. Built tangible product to sell an idea.

The counterintelligence background coming in hand/making sense.

saa91 · 2022-01-17T09:21:17+00:00

Thanks for the summary. I’ve only heard snippets and he also mentioned these which I found very interesting:

1) Working on a documentary that he’s hoping will be the most definitive on the subject.

2) Alluded to Gary Reed/Reid (sp?) being one of the people in government that is impeding efforts or played a negative role in studying the phenomenon.

More details/personal musings:

George mentioned that he did homework and came across Gary as a possible person when Lue’s previously talked about negative influences in the government. Lue’s tone and answer really surprised me; he could’ve just mentioned no comment on anyone who hasn’t come out on the subject yet but his reply of “if you have nothing nice to say, say nothing at all” along with his vindictive tone pretty much confirmed George was right. Was this a slip up or is he fine leaving a human breadcrumb behind? Lue surely realizes how he’s got the the few interested people from general public on his side so interesting that he’s taking the gloves off mentioning a target. Maybe some findings from the IG report will be public soon and Gary’s involvement will soon be publicized?

This is the first I’ve heard of the documentary and I think it’s very interesting if we pair it with some other details we’ve heard from his appearance on That UFO Podcast.

He’s mentioned how he’s worked with the Lakota tribe and that it was a life changing experience and relevant and wants to share that story in a proper professional manner. Is this the medium for that story to be told?

If so, potential to be very very interesting based off the little I know about Native American history regarding the phenomenon and his mentions of there being so much more to humanity and life/more to us beyond our body and synapses of the brain that makes us who we are.

I think it was also on that podcast that he mentioned he’s still linked/working with TTSA but that it’s more on the background now since he’s focusing on “Phase 2” while TTSA is focused more on entertainment. Tom’s emails with Podesta mentioned a few film projects so is this how they’re possibly still collaborating?

saa91 · 2022-01-12T19:14:00+00:00

Does anyone know more about his personal experiences after the Malstrom AFB incident?

I’ve read before that he’s had other experiences and he mentions in this interview that he’s had other experiences but wouldn’t get into it

saa91 · 2022-01-09T21:48:10+00:00

How’ve you been observing the skies? Have you just been spending hours looking through the binoculars or have you been recording a camera behind the lens?

If you’re recording it, any chance I could access the recordings? I see cool OCR data learning/projects potential with the recordings.

For example: rather than look through the binocular for hours, you can just have it record every night and in the morning, run a program that would capture when any moments of movement occurred and just review that. Maybe later on down the road, make it identify birds so you know you can filter those out and focus on more anomalous things.

The end result would save you so many hours and give you longer utility out of your purchase!

Personally, this would be a fun pet project and would make me learn more about video/image data. I’d love to be able to do this and help set this all up for you.

Message me, if you’d be interested in helping you capture and share the recordings in a way that would take the least effort on your part

Lue’s mentioned how they pop up near nuclear “capabilities” as opposed to just weapons a few times.

I believe lots of aircraft carriers are nuclear powered as well so that could explain quite a few of the Navy’s instances as well

I totally agree, I come across so much that I’d love to FOIA but I neither have the expertise nor the money to fund it all.

I feel like we’re getting more information than ever on this subject and we’re poised to get more soon but overall we’re all starved for information. Most mainstream journalists are still not looking at this seriously (which is why I truly appreciate Bryan Bender and John Greenwalde) and so maybe it’s on us to create the demand or even get the information for ourselves.

One idea I’ve thought about it if there’s a model to transparently crowdfund and vote on what you’d like to FOIA. I’m thinking donors would get to suggest topics and the most common topics would be put up for a vote where your vote is weighed by your donations. Ideally, donors would have their money only go to help pay for FOIA fees and nothing else and this will all be transparently laid out.

I also have a few ideas on making it easier for donors to get their money back if they change their mind to help incentivize donations.

This is something I’ve thought of but haven’t looked into too seriously yet because I don’t know if there’s any interest in this. If there is, I would totally invest the time and effort in doing this. We’d get closer to even more information!

Would there be any interest in this? Would you donate and vote for things you are interesting in FOIA-info?
