Is the phenomenon known as alien abduction a modern version of spiritual awakening people have gotten through religious figures for thousands of years? Well, there certainly are comparisons to be made. You may have even heard some of them. Not these. Get ready! This is only the beginning!

They say laughter is the best medicine. And they're right, whether they're talking about everyday situations or even the everything-is nondual mind living in the sorrow of an everything-is-not-okay dualistic world. But who are they to begin with? Actually the show is not about them. Just the laughter part.  Oh, and, uh... Ken Wilber. We'll be dissecting some of what he says in this video:  Hurts More, Bothers You Less by, Integral Life https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5TUr949kmZk __________________ Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research.

Animals play the largest role of all in host Jeremy Vaeni's new book, Kundalini and the Secrets of Silence. His cats, however, get the short end of that stick. Well, no more. Only 2 episodes in and we're already doing comic relief. Get ready to relieve yourself comically as you meet their foster cat Finn, aka Cosmo, aka... something that rhymes with Kitty Kitler. Will there be a moral to the story by the end? Will there be several? Will there be none? You are a click away from finding out! You're another click away from reading Kundalini and the Secrets of Silence, for all Amazon links are posted here on Jeremy's blog: https://jayvay.wordpress.com/2026/01/11/all-amazon-links-to-kundalini-and-the-secrets-of-silence/

In this introductory episode to a season of Our Undoing Radio that acts as a compendium to his new book, Kundalini and the Secrets of Silence, host Jeremy Vaeni takes us straight to the end of the book--to the post script, to be exact. It is here where a very real and physical miracle happened to him as a result of completing the manuscript! Please read Kundalini and the Secrets of Silence, available globally in paperback and on Kindle! Here is the link to the U.S. Amazon store:  https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0G4NRFS8M If books aren't in your budget, consider ordering it from your local library!

On this, the final Paratopia podcast ever--Ever? Ever. You sure, ever? Fairly sure, ever--host Jeremy Vaeni has the perfect end cap to the entire journey. First we hear from long-time pal of The Jeff and The Jer, Tyler Kokjohn, about how best to go about researching ufology, what to expect will come of your work, and his thoughts on post-2017 ufology on the whole. Then we speak with paranormal researcher Allison Jornlin about the ins and outs of what she does, as well as some of her paranormal experiences. Finally, in a chat that will have you laughing, crying, and cheering him on, Cody Ritzmann tells us what it was like growing up Ritzmann and how he's been processing the loss of his parents.  To learn more about Allison's work and book a haunted history tour, check out her super fancy website: https://www.americanghostwalks.com/ While you're at it,  read all about the unsung female figures in paranormal research at her other website here: https://paranormalwomen.com/ Wanna reach out to Cody?

Jeff decides to monitor his house with cameras and the such for paranormal activity. Then he talks about alleged experiencer Chris Bledsoe's once-credible claims spiraling into hot garbage. Jer talks about hosting the Living Mystery Symposium with Whitley Strieber, Dennis McKenna, and Jeffrey Kripal, in Volcano, Hawaii. Will Jeff show? Finally, they go into their latest high strangeness. (originally aired: 2016) Don't fight the fever. Give me your monies: https://www.ko-fi.com/jayvay

Prince died. Remember that? You will. Oh, then something about the paranormal. I mean the show's over 2 hours. Pretty sure we get into the paranormal eventually. (originally aired: 2016.) Wanna part with your hard-earned cash? Ka*ching! me with donations right here: www.ko-fi.com/jayvay

Author/Researcher Greg Bishop joins us to talk ufology for the first half. And in the second? The Jeff & The Jer's experiences. (originally aired: 2016)

We kick off this extra long episode with a question of synchronicities. And then we talk about the culture of dumb people inhabiting our favorite paranormal subculture. And then what? This episode is 2 1/2 hours long--surely we will talk about the most paranormal event of 2016: the rise of Donald Trump and the enigma of Bernie Sanders. And then bag on Richard Dolan for a while before dismantling the Roswell slides. I mean, why not?

Jeff's dad sees a UFO? Jer meets a skeptical realtor whose girlfriend was abducted by aliens? Is there a connection between UFOs and midlife crisis? This is a wild episode with which we rang in 2016! 

After a brief chat about weird coincidences devolves into a bittersweet nostalgia trip, we talk about just how entrenched flying disks have been in our psyches predating ufology. And that stream of consciousness dumps us into a much larger ocean of super natural discussion.
