Skeptiko with Alex Tsakiris - Owls and Extended Consciousness

Skeptiko with Alex Tsakiris is one of the best podcasts to address the deeper questions about consciousness. I recently spoke with Alex about my owl books, and a whole lot more. The show is titled: Owls and Extended Consciousness. This was an excellent interview, and I recommend it highly! There's even a transcript.

We also did an interview back in 2013, and that was at a point when I was really struggling with my experiences. That 2013 interview is linked HERE.

Alex did an in depth series of interviews on UFOs and Consciousness back in 2013. These are all linked HERE.

Mary Rodwell on Skeptiko (part TWO)

Alex from the Skeptiko talks with UFO abduction researcher Mary Rodwell. This is the second in a two-part set of interviews. As always, I am impressed with the depth of his questions and the way he challenges his guests to dig deep. These two interviews are highly recommended.

The Skeptiko has logged a series of excellent podcasts, all focused on the UFO abduction lore and how it is intertwined with human consciousness. This aspect of the phenomenon is shunned by to many within the pool of researchers, so I am grateful that Alex is examining this important side of the overall weirdness.

Skeptiko covers UFOs and consciousness

Skeptiko is a podcast series focused on human consciousness, it's run by a really smart and perceptive host, Alex Tsakiris. Recently he has been turning to the UFO phenomenon as a topic, and with his focus on consciousness the results have been really impressive. Nobody out there is digging into these mysteries with his insights.

I'm linking seven excellent Skeptiko shows on the topic of UFOs. It sorta blows my mind that I'm a guest on one of these episodes.

• Dr. David Jacobs (part one)
• Dr. David Jacobs (part two)
• Mary Rodwell (part one)
• Mary Rodwell (part two)
• Dr. Janet Colli
• Mike Clelland
• Grant Cameron (on consciousness)
• Stanton Friedman (on consciousness)

There have been some questions that arose out of the David Jacobs episodes. I have to say that he comes across sounding quite intolerant of the larger pool of data that has been amassed by people other than himself. This two-part interview is worth listen to just to hear his point of view.

He also made some statements about the late Dr. John Mack that don't seem to ring true. I've included a particular quote from Jacobs (transcribed from part one) and a response from Will Bueche, this text was lifted from the Skeptiko forums. Will worked with Dr. Mack and continues to this day as part of the John E. Mack Institute.

Dr. Janet Colli Treats the Trauma of Alien Contact Experience on Skeptiko

Dr. Janet Elizabeth Colli

This excellent interview explores the trauma and eventual spiritual transformation of those reporting alien contact.

Join Skeptiko host Alex Tsakiris for a 50 minute interview with Dr. Janet Colli author of, Sacred Encounters: Spiritual Encounters During Close Encounters. During the interview Colli talks about how the trauma caused by these experiences. Required listening!

direct link to Skeptiko interview HERE

During the conversation with Alex and Dr. Colli he mentions me and a personal incident that I shared with him during our interview together. This little story was on my mind while I was listening and they addressed it!

Alex doesn't really dig into the alien abduction issues in his interview, but I sure did when I interviewed her! I spoke with Dr. Colli in 2011 and we really tried to look into the deeper issues surrounding the healing of the trauma of a contact experience (my interview linked HERE).

Also, Alex and I did an excellent interview too, linked HERE.

audio interview on Skeptiko

I took part in an 82 minute long audio interview with this very accurate title:

Mike Clelland Struggles to Understand 

Contact With Alien Consciousness

(direct link to the podcast above)

One of the more impressive thinkers in the podcast realm is Alex Tsakiris (left), he is the host of an amazingly thoughtful site, Skeptiko. His overall focus is the mysteries of consciousness and he has interviewed some of the leading researchers and experts in this realm inquiry. You can hear it in his voice that he's searching for answers with an intense resolve that I understand well. His long list of guests include some personal heroes of mine, like Rupert Sheldrake, Jeffery Kripal and Dean Radin.

I was inspired to interview Grant Cameron after hearing him on Skeptiko. When I talked with Grant, I basically considered the Skeptiko podcast as the introduction to my own. When I posted the audio I sent Alex a note to give him a heads up. That started a back and forth set of emails, and we both ended up asking to interview each other. Alex asks much deeper questions than I do, so I suggested that he interview me.

The result is probably the most penetrating thing I've ever been involved with since putting myself out there.

I have to thank Alex for his unwavering dedication to the exploration of some of the more challenging ideas that confront any thoughtful person.

I cannot recommend the Skeptiko sight highly enough. The subject of his shows will only occasionally touch on the UFO phenomenon. He also explores topics like the Near Death Experience, parapsychology and extended human consciousness.

Also: There is a transcript of the entire interview!
