Sol Luckman on Postmodern Gnosticism & Destroying the Loosh Machine

Aeon Byte Gnostic RadioSep 4, 2026

Author Sol Luckman joins Miguel Conner and Graham Pong to discuss the Gnostic core of his upcoming book How to Run Down a Dream, arguing that this world is a loosh farm where archon-like entities harvest the energy humans give off when traumatized. Luckman claims shame, not fear or love, is the main fuel of this matrix, and he reinterprets the Garden of Eden as the moment a serpent installed its own operating system into the human mind. He offers inner alchemy, waking dreaming, and DNA sound activation as ways to forge an immortal dream body and escape the cycle.

Jordan Crowder | Ritual Events, Probability Engineering, & The Simulator

The Higherside ChatsAug 21, 2026

Consciousness researcher Jordan Crowder joins Greg Carlwood to dissect what they call ritual theater, from the strange numerical synchronicities of the 2026 World Cup final to predictive Illuminati cards and movies that seem to foreshadow real events. Crowder explains how a 2019 near-death experience and a mysterious voice asking 'who are we, where are we, and why are we' led him to train at the Monroe Institute and develop his 'simulator theory' of reality. He argues Earth is a training simulator for non-physical consciousness, where memory wipes between lives are a feature rather than a sign of a prison planet.

Strange Encounters With Other Beings - Jason Quitt | Ep. 98

AREA52 Podcast (Chris Ramsay)Aug 7, 2026

Author and experiencer Jason Quitt describes how terrifying sleep paralysis episodes in the early 2000s launched him into years of out-of-body experiences, including encounters with shadow beings, giant mantis-like entities, and a hybrid child he says he was shown in an astral nursery. He argues that many alien abduction reports follow the same step-by-step pattern as out-of-body experiences, suggesting much contact may happen in a non-physical realm. He also presents his theory, from his book The Shining Island, that Plato's Atlantis story is a coded allegory of shifting pole stars and cosmic cycles rather than a literal sunken continent.
