Alien Contact and High Strangeness

This week I'm talking to Darren King the Exoacademian.

Bio

Darren King is a consciousness educator, public speaker, researcher, and podcaster, who aims to both explore and expand the parameters of human consciousness. Darren’s focus on human potential is centrally connected not only to our innate, evolutionary drive towards an ever-expanding, emergent awareness driven by curiosity, but also with an eye towards the daunting global challenges we all face, which will require a new “center of gravity” for “human-beingness” to be adequately addressed.

The many questions pertinent to this overarching pursuit that Darren is actively engaged in include: Who are we? What other forms of intelligence surround and interact with us? What innate abilities have we let lay dormant and undeveloped within the modern mythos defined under Western civilization? What aspects of reality have we ignored and left unexplored in our race towards a left-brain driven, technological society focused solely on “objective” truth as narrowly defined according to the dictates of the physicalist paradigm? And finally, in light of revelations around psi phenomena, contact with non-conventional (sometimes non or quasi-physical) entities, near-death and out-of-body experiences, and the implications of quantum mechanics, what can we say of the ultimate nature of reality?

Darren is the founder of Essence of Being, an initiative designed to help equip humanity to meet the coming evolutionary nexus with a transformed identity rooted in a shared sense of purpose and belonging. This overarching mission is served through in-depth, immersive programs crafted to help people transition from a narrow, “siloed-mind” perspective, to a more robust, heart-centered, generative and interconnected view, positioned to perceive, understand and respond to personal and collective challenges in a timely, comprehensive manner, with the aim of being in service to the greatest good.

Darren serves as an advisor to the John Mack Institute, whose overarching aim is to “foster interdisciplinary initiatives that examine the nature of reality and the ways in which humanity’s understanding of it influences the condition of all life on earth”. Darren’s nuanced thinking and articulate reflections on the Contact phenomenon have earned him respect and a large, dedicated audience. His ongoing research aims to “connect the dots” between the Contact phenomenon and related topics such as near-death experiences (NDEs), out-of-body experiences (OBEs), and psi phenomena, ultimately keying in on what these data may reveal about the nature of reality itself.

Darren is regularly featured on a variety of shows and podcasts, exploring these various interrelated matters. Darren’s work also includes both Point of Convergence, which, as the name implies, is a podcast examining the uncanny connection between a variety of so-called “contact modalities” and non-ordinary state experiences, and Liminal Phrames, a conversational podcast discussing the history of UFOs/UAP and the Contact phenomenon, and their intersection with ancient human lore and religious history.
