    RJ joins Tony to share what happened after he downloaded the Monroe Institute’s Gateway tapes and started training himself into altered states tied to out-of-body experiences and remote viewing. He explains how the practices escalated from symbols and vibrations into verified hits, strange synchronicities, and a growing sense that something was pushing back when he invoked Jesus. RJ recounts traveling to a Monroe-associated course in Arizona, where the experiences intensified fast, with powerful “connections,” bizarre interruptions, and moments that made him believe reality itself was being manipulated. After fleeing in fear and spiraling through paranoia, hooded figures, and electronic malfunctions, RJ claims the aftermath followed him home through dreams, remote viewing sessions, and a tug-of-war over his faith. In the end, he frames the entire journey as a warning: the phenomenon is real, the abilities are real, and he now believes the source is demonic, not spiritual enlightenment. Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer.

  • 841: The Hidden War Inside Disclosure

    841: The Hidden War Inside Disclosure
    Mar 3 2026
    Nathaniel Gillis returns to the studio for a mind-bending conversation that tears apart the modern UFO narrative and reframes the phenomenon from the ground up. Drawing from occult history, demonology, biblical scholarship, and firsthand research, Nathaniel argues that what we are seeing may not be extraterrestrial at all, but something far older, capable of manipulating perception, projecting forms, and hiding behind masks humanity has mythologized for centuries. From orbs that shift into apparitions, to physiological “constructs,” to ancient necromancy and Ezekiel’s warning about those who “hunt the souls of men,” this discussion explores the possibility that disclosure is being carefully curated while the deeper esoteric reality remains hidden. They wrestle with initiation rituals, hybridism, apports, sigils, government secrecy, and the unsettling idea that the phenomenon may replicate reality itself to anchor into our world. If true, this isn’t just about UFOs, it’s about a spiritual war that predates modern language and continues behind the veil.Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer.
