Deep dives
Introduction to Cosmosis and Its Creators
The documentary series Cosmosis is crafted by Kelly Chase and Jay Christopher King, both of whom have extensive backgrounds in the UFO research community. Kelly's journey into the UFO phenomenon began after a personal anomalous experience that sparked her curiosity and led her to establish the UFO Rabbit Hole podcast. The duo aimed to create something that would resonate with an audience ready for a deeper exploration of the UFO subject without relying heavily on the traditional disclosure narrative. By pooling their insights and experiences, they produced Cosmosis as a platform to discuss the reality of UFOs and the implications it has on human consciousness and potential.
The Shift in Focus from Disclosure to Broader Conversations
Chase discusses the recent shift in the UFO discourse, particularly emphasizing that the momentum around traditional governmental disclosure might not deliver the expected outcomes. This sentiment reflects her belief that many enthusiasts have been led to overestimate the clarity and resolution that disclosure promises. Insights from recent reporters and the upcoming documentary projects show a growing desire for conversations that explore not just the existence of UFOs but also the understanding of human potential and consciousness. The documentary aims to open up these discussions, paving a more comprehensive trajectory toward understanding the phenomenon beyond mere objects in the sky.
Exploring the Experiences of Individuals with Anomalous Events
The first episode of Cosmosis, titled 'The UFO Rabbit Hole,' dives into the various hypotheses related to UFOs and connects them to personal experiences by discussing the stories of those who have had encounters. This approach humanizes the topic by highlighting both military cases and civilian experiences to engage a broader audience. By juxtaposing a known military encounter with a personal experience, the series demonstrates the complexity of sightings and what they mean on a psychological and experiential level. This narrative structure aims to cater to both the uninitiated and those well-versed in UFO lore, creating an accessible entry point into deeper discussions.
Addressing the Perception of Secrecy and Its Implications
In the second episode, 'Secret Potential,' the documentary focuses on the mechanisms of secrecy surrounding UFOs and how it impacts individuals who've witnessed or experienced encounters. It sheds light on the personal costs and challenges faced by those affected by the need for confidentiality, emphasizing that many of these individuals have intriguing insights into human potential. The narrative weaves in discussions around the broader implications of secrecy, including how it might inhibit scientific progress and communication about psychic phenomena. These elements prompt questions about societal readiness for deeper discussions about consciousness, potentially transforming the understanding of human capabilities.
The Future of UFO Discourse and Scientific Inquiry
The evolving conversation around UFOs and human abilities is seen as critical for future inquiry. Chase emphasizes the necessity of scientific engagement with the mysterious elements tied to UFO phenomena, calling attention to organizations dedicated to exploring these questions. She notes that the blending of spirituality and science is increasingly relevant, as public consciousness evolves alongside emerging scientific research. By fostering a connection between UFO discourse and serious academic inquiry, Cosmosis aims to challenge preconceived notions and encourage a more nuanced understanding of extraordinary experiences, ultimately aiming to stimulate a broader acceptance of diverse perspectives within society.
