Intro

Erick Godsey returns to share a four-day vision quest, riff on altered states, meaning-making, Carl Jung and a personal encounter with a mysterious orb, UFO-like intelligence. 🥰 Support TED and join the community on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/thirdeyedrops Get access to our Youtube Member's Library: https://www.youtube.com/@THIRDEYEDROPS/membership In this one, we explore why humans across cultures have intentionally entered non-ordinary states of consciousness, and how practices like fasting, isolation, and ritual deprivation can open profound psychological and mythic terrain. Drawing on esotericism, Jung and mythopoetic psychology, we talk about meaning-making, initiation, and why modern life may be starving us of transformative experiences. Erick also recounts a striking moment when what appeared to be a star or orb seemed to actively engage with him — moving, observing, and inducing what felt like a reconfiguration within his psyche. Rather than fear, the experience carried a calm, reassuring quality, raising deep questions about perception, consciousness, and the nature of intelligence. We also zooming out to discuss disclosure and the UFO phenomenon in general, the film Age of Disclosure, and multiple interpretations of the phenomenon — psychological, symbolic, physical, and beyond. 👀 Catch Erick's podcasts, courses and musings here: https://www.erickgodsey.com/ 👈 https://www.instagram.com/erickgodsey/ 👈 Links For Third Eye Drops 🌀 🥰 Support TED and join the community on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/thirdeyedrops Get access to our Youtube Member's Library: https://www.youtube.com/@THIRDEYEDROPS/membership For hundreds more podcasts: 🎧 Apple Podcasts: thirdeyedrops.com/itunes 🎧 Spotify: https://shorturl.at/ahnB1 🌀 Website https://www.thirdeyedrops.com ✌️Follow Michael on Instagram https://instagram.com/third_eye_drops
