This podcast introduces "A Greater Reality: The New Paradigm of Nonlocal Consciousness, the Spiritual, and the Paranormal." A line of investigation proposing that consciousness is primary and our physical world stems from it. This podcast outlines the basics, which includes theoretical perspectives from academics and firsthand accounts from individuals who have experienced various "Contact Modalities," encompassing phenomena like near-death experiences, UFO encounters (rebranded as Consciousness Aerial Phenomena or CAPs-UFOs), and psychic abilities, all viewed as interconnected manifestations of a greater, consciousness-based reality, termed the "Mind of GOD".
This course of study proposes a new paradigm where "Consciousness is Primary" and our physical reality is a manifestation of this consciousness, existing within a "Spiritual Virtual Reality" governed by the "Universal Mind of GOD." A key component of this paradigm is the study of "Contact Modalities" – a broad term encompassing various paranormal experiences like NDEs, OBEs, UFO/CAP encounters, and contact with deceased individuals, which offer crucial insights into the nature of consciousness and our greater reality. The series of podcasts aims to integrate findings from consciousness research and the phenomenology of these extraordinary experiences, ultimately advocating for a unified understanding of these phenomena as interconnected manifestations of a single source of mind and consciousness as proposed in the philosophy of Analytical Idealism.
The Urgency of Consciousness Evolution: Hernandez posits that humanity must undergo a rapid evolution in thought, knowledge, spirituality, and consciousness to overcome unsustainable practices and avoid potential mass death or extinction. This evolution involves understanding our true nature as multidimensional eternal spiritual beings.
The Primacy of Consciousness: The central argument is that consciousness is fundamental and precedes physical reality. Our physical world is not the primary reality but rather a manifestation or derivative of consciousness. This aligns with an idealist worldview.
Quote: "The CCRI researchers view that 'Consciousness is Primary and that our physical world is a manifestation of consciousness and not our physical reality'." Quote: "In this book, we introduce the post-materialist hypothesis that 'Consciousness is Primary' -- the philosophical position that the only thing that exists is consciousness and that our physical reality is derived from consciousness."
The "Spiritual Virtual Reality" Model: Hernandez proposes that we live within a "Spiritual Virtual Reality" that is part of a "Greater Reality" and governed by the "Universal Mind of GOD." Our perceived physical experiences are considered "Maya," an illusion.
Quote: "Numerous theories might explain this greater reality but our book argues that we are living inside a 'Spiritual Virtual Reality'." Quote: "We argue that our perceived physical experiences, via our 5 senses, are actually 'Maya', an illusion that is 'a magic show, an illusion where things appear to be present but are not what they seem'."
The Concept of "Contact Modalities": Hernandez introduces and champions the term "Contact Modalities" as a unifying framework for understanding a wide range of "paranormal" experiences. This term emphasizes a consciousness-based interaction with "Higher Forms of Intelligence" or "Non-Human Intelligence."
Quote: "In the Fall of 2013, I introduced the term 'Contact Modalities'. This term is now used by many researchers instead of the term 'paranormal' because many major academic researchers... have long suspected that all of what we call the 'paranormal' is ONE phenomenon." Quote: "The term 'Contact Modalities' is defined as 'all of the diverse ways that humans are ‘piercing the veil’ of our physical reality and having perceived contact with consciousness-based Higher Forms of Intelligence'."
Examples provided include NDEs, OBEs, CAP-UFOs, contact with deceased humans, hallucinogenic journeys, remote viewing, channeling, lucid dreams, and poltergeist experiences. Redefining the UFO Phenomenon as CAP-UFO: Hernandez argues that the terms UFO and UAP are inadequate as they do not reflect the potential consciousness-based nature of these events. He proposes the term "CAP-UFO" (Consciousness Aerial Phenomenon) as more accurate.
