Just a quick post to say I enjoy the longer interviews, and my main take-away here was the robust and stimulating debate between Grant and Alex for the last half hour or so - on the question of undifferentiated "oneness" vs. the question of hierarchy and different types of experiences in the "extended consciousness" realm(s). I tend to lean a bit more towards Alex's viewpoint on this one, but there were good points made on both sides (except for Grant's constant referring to the "left-brain", like others here have commented on), and it's the type of debate in which I go back and forth in my own mind. And both perspectives could in the end wind up being weirdly "true", whatever that word means.
Otherwise, this is just an impression, but I get the feeling that Grant is insufficiently skeptical about some of the UFO things he's looking into (completely sold over Roswell, the MJ-12 documents, etc., etc.) and that he seems very influenced by the "download" (?) he keeps referring to. But this is just an impression which could be wrong, I mean no disrespect, and I admire his hard work.
The other take-way I have from this podcast is Grant's opinion that going forward with UFO research means ignoring any attempts to convert academics and scientists, and that this field is and will remain anathema to them. My intuition is that he's completely right here and I admire him for taking a strong stance about it.
