    Episode Description

    🌀 In Part 2 of this captivating interview with Kevin, we delve into the metaphysical connections between the Fae (Fairies / Faeries), the Otherworld, Grays & UFOs, exploring their profound interactions with humans, as documented by Kevin’s own experiences and initiated mystical contact. Kevin contextualizes all this through his Platonic Surrealism framework and cosmology.

    We also discuss the nuances and intersubjectivity of the phenomenon and contact experiences, as Kevin shares some never-before-publicized details from his experiences. Our conversation further touches on the Platonic Surrealist concept of Monads in relation to Awareness, symbiotic relationships with sentient plasma, death, and even fungi! 🌀

    *Episode Description*

    🌀 Folks, this is your quintessential deep, raw, and emotional experiencer episode, split into two parts. We do not shy away from the shadow here, and boy did Kevin explore the depths of his journey through abuse, trauma, resilience, and transmutation. In part 1 of this interview, this autistic nuclear engineer—who recently taught a course at the renowned Esalen Institute alongside Rice University’s Jeffrey J. Kripal, PhD—touches on his self-developed Platonic Surrealism framework, calling in UFOs, childhood encounters with Egyptian god-like shadow beings, religion, mysticism, Robert Monroe’s concept of “loosh” energy, symbiotic sentient bio-plasma, and who and what we truly are! In Kevin’s own words:

    “I knew that I was transcendent awareness from beyond space and time. I knew it always. So, no matter how hard the world was, I was still me. I always knew it. So, nothing could destroy me!” 🌀
