Exploring CE5 Work: Human-Initiated Contact with Extraterrestrials

The speaker explains that CE5 work involves various techniques and technologies aimed at making contact with these intelligences, similar to the idea of evocation in magical practices. The episode further mentions a collaboration between the podcast host and a paranormal investigator to develop tools, such as sound magic tracks, for individuals to experiment with this kind of contact. The speaker emphasizes the importance of skepticism and discernment when engaging in CE5 work, cautioning against expectations of immediate or sensational results.
The Challenges of Government Interference and Disclosure Season
The episode discusses the challenges posed by government interference in the UFO field, highlighting historical instances of manipulation and control. The speaker mentions the current disclosure season, where the government shares information about UFOs, and raises concerns about the sources and motivations behind the information being presented. There is a cautionary tone regarding the role of the government in shaping the narrative around UFOs and the potential risk of manipulation and misdirection. The importance of skepticism and critical thinking is stressed, urging listeners to question the information being propagated by both government agencies and paranormal investigators alike.
Reflecting on Personal Experiences with UFO Phenomena

The speaker discusses the impact of these experiences and the subsequent curiosity they sparked. The importance of personal reflection and exploration is highlighted, indicating that individual encounters can significantly shape one's perspective on UFOs and the paranormal. The episode acknowledges the mysterious nature of these experiences and the need for open-mindedness when interpreting and discussing them.
The cinematic effect and media influence on perception
The speaker describes a personal experience where their consciousness seemed to split, allowing them to see themselves in third person, similar to a movie. They suggest that our perceptions can be shaped by the media we consume. They also mention that these cinematic experiences usually occur in times of danger, such as near-death experiences.
The connection between UFOs, magic, and death
The speaker discusses the book 'Ecology of Souls' by Joshua Cutchin, which explores the link between UFO encounters and the mystery of death. They believe that UFO and supernatural phenomena often have ties to death and dying. They emphasize the importance of exploring these connections, even from a physiological perspective.
The evolving view of disclosure
The speaker discusses the current trend in disclosure towards a more spiritual and mystical perspective, moving away from the traditional nuts and bolts approach. They mention that certain individuals from government organizations are also exploring this shift and are considering the broader mysteries and connections beyond just extraterrestrial spacecraft. They caution against the immediate assumption that aliens are demonic entities, emphasizing the need for critical thinking and discernment in navigating these topics.
Engaging with paranormal phenomena and magic
The speaker encourages a broader exploration and engagement with paranormal phenomena, such as ghosts and aliens, as they are interconnected and have shaped human history. They also highlight the importance of personal mystical experiences and how they can enrich one's magical practice. They express the belief that magic should embrace the strange and liminal, including the study of UFOs and fairies, rather than limiting it to traditional ceremonial magic.
Douglass Batchelor of the ‘What Magic is This?’ podcast https://whatmagicisthis.com/ joins Luxa https://linktr.ee/LuxaStrata for a discussion about the phenomena and the conversations surrounding government disclosure about “non-human intelligences”, etc. from a perspective which is informed by an occult or magical practice. What does it look like when a new religion is being born? Who might benefit? What’s really going on with the strange lights we’ve been seeing in the sky throughout human history? These topics and more are explored. Douglass, being an occultist and life-long enthusiast (and experiencer) of the phenomena has done extensive research into various aspects of it and offers some valuable and useful perspectives. There’s a sound magic track inspired by the strange events reported at Rendlesham Air Force Base on the nights of December 26-28th, 1980 and features audio recorded by Lt Col Charles Halt at that time. There is also a spicy poetry snack from from FAFO Pt. 2, The Green Mushroom Project https://greenmushroomproject.com/ & We The Hallowed https://wethehallowed.org/ digital mixtape, and an update about upcoming events for the Mushroom Project. Much Love!
