Topic: Charles Fort

Charles Fort proposed that everything in the universe exists on a spectrum between the unreal and the real, a concept that supports an animistic worldview. This model suggests that the natural human state is animistic, as evidenced by the way people attribute personhood to pets and feel the "spirit" of specific places. Animism is identified as the earliest form of human spiritual experience, appearing more coherent than materialism in light of modern data.

The host reflects on the interview and the recent passing of Gordon White, noting how White's death has led to several related spiritual conversations. He posits that "materialism" itself is a conspiracy designed to obscure exotic energy and spiritual truths. He argues that while the elite are depraved, the value of conspiratorial thinking lies in replacing inaccurate models of reality with more functional, spiritual ones.

Greg Carlwood applies a gardening analogy to the relationship between spiritual entities known as Archons and the human elite. He suggests that just as a gardener waters only the plants that produce fruit, these entities may only "water" or empower humans who provide them with results. This reflects a Charles Fort-inspired worldview where humans are essentially property or livestock for higher-dimensional beings.

The host reflects on Michael Cremo's work, comparing his spirit to that of Charles Fort and praising his ability to challenge the academic system. A brief mention is made regarding Cremo's research on Bigfoot, noting that while there are hundreds of hair samples and footprints, the host is more interested in how such creatures fit into the broader Vedic cosmological context.

Carlwood discusses his recent presentation on Charles Fort's *Book of the Damned*, highlighting Fort's theories on secret societies and the idea that humanity is "property." He also addresses listener feedback on a previous interview with John Klyzak regarding AI in the classroom, defending the importance of the subject despite lower ratings from the audience.

The Book of the Damned documents historical accounts of bizarre objects falling from the sky and other unexplainable phenomena. Notable cases include a worked stone disc discovered in France and the 1894 Vicksburg Turtle, which fell during a Mississippi hailstorm encased in ice. Additional reports mention unclassifiable clawed footmarks in Devonshire, England, and millions of self-luminous bodies observed via telescope by Reverend W. Reed.

The work of Charles Fort is credited for preserving 19th-century reports of "damned facts," including bizarre luminous pinwheels or light wheels observed under the water. These massive rotating structures, often hundreds of yards in diameter, have been reported by ship captains in the Strait of Malacca and the Persian Gulf. Fort speculated that these phenomena might indicate alien civilizations operating from underwater bases.

Greg Carlwood points out a strange celestial coincidence where the stars Alamak and Syrah in the Andromeda constellation mirror the name "Kamala Harris" when reversed. Hoffman suggests this could be an "impish spirit" in the universe or a joke, but cautions against becoming overly obsessed with every synchronicity, as the cryptocracy may use them to lead researchers down unproductive rabbit holes.

Greg Carlwood introduces researcher Rom X, the creator of the Forty & Wins podcast, to discuss his final conclusions on ufology and high strangeness. The discussion frames the human experience as potentially being monitored or engineered by a higher order of beings. Rom X transitions from his podcasting career to sharing insights gained from years of investigating anomalous happenings and the work of Charles Fort.

The host references Charles Fort's assertion that "we are property," leading to a discussion on humans serving as an energetic food source for hyperdimensional beings. Knight-Jadczyk discusses the lack of spiritual "antennas" in many hard-science professionals, which leads to the vehement denial of paranormal phenomena. She cites the historical example of scientist William Crookes, whose 19th-century experiments with medium Daniel Dunglass Home were suppressed and ridiculed by the scientific establishment of the time.

David Wolf discusses the influence of Charles Fort, particularly his critique of "scientism" and the tendency of mainstream science to "bully" its worldview by deleting anomalous data. He highlights Fort's philosophy that one cannot understand the "all" by excluding the "damned" facts that do not fit established theories. The segment emphasizes the power of censorship in maintaining fake structures of knowledge.

Charles Fort's observations on fish and frog falls are explored as evidence of teleportation and dimensional doorways in the atmosphere. Wolf cites a 2021 fish fall in Texarkana, Texas, as a recent example of nature balancing itself by moving species where they are needed. He rejects the mainstream explanation of whirlwinds, noting that these falls often consist of a single species of uniform size.

Gordon White names Charles Fort’s "Book of the Damned" as his number two pick, identifying Fort as the "fountainhead" of high strangeness studies. Fort collected "damned facts"—anomalous events that science could not explain—to argue that the scientific paradigm is as limited as the religious one it replaced. White praises Fort’s 1919 writing style as brilliant, funny, and foundational for the entire paranormal genre.

The host selects Charles Fort’s "Book of the Damned" as his number one pick, noting that despite its age, it remains the most original and provocative work in the field. They discuss Jeffrey Kripal’s claim that Fort "invented postmodernism" by predicting the end of the scientific era. They also lament the decline of the "Fortean Times" magazine, which they feel has moved away from Fort’s original spirit of challenging the materialist context.

Greg Carlwood draws parallels between the anomalies of the Chicago Fire and the research of Dr. Judy Wood regarding the events of September 11th. Both instances involve reports of selective melting and strange physical effects that suggest the use of hidden, exotic technologies. The segment also references Charles Fort's theories on spontaneous human combustion, suggesting that certain beings or processes may consume humans through a flaming process that defies conventional physics.

Fortean experiences like UFO sightings and cryptid encounters may involve a psychical process where the observer "selects" an outcome from infinite possibilities. This concept aligns with quantum mechanics and the Schrodinger's cat thought experiment, where measurement actualizes a specific reality from a state of superposition. These anomalous events might occur when human psyches move through different intersections of time or dimensions.

The conversation references Jacques Vallée’s Passport to Magonia to explore the "cosmic joker" theory of paranormal phenomena. Hollenbeck suggests that modern alien abductions and historical fairy lore are the same phenomenon viewed through different cultural lenses. The discussion touches on the ideas of Charles Fort regarding humanity being "property" of external forces.

A decade of research originally intended to prove the historical accuracy of the Old Testament led to a paradigm shift away from fundamentalist beliefs. After assimilating vast amounts of archaeological and historical data, the conclusion was reached that reality functions as a simulation. This transition was influenced by the concept of "exclusions" in academia, a term coined by researcher Charles Fort.

The host reflects on the endorsement from Alpha Vedic that led to this interview and discusses the eerie historical reports collected by Charles Fort. These include accounts of greenish-yellow clouds over France in 1901, red substances falling in London, and a new star appearing in the Perseus constellation. Fort's conclusion that "we are property" and the Earth is a farm is compared to the simulation machinery described by Brashears.

Greg Carlwood reflects on the decline of materialism and his personal transition from an arrogant atheist to an open-minded researcher following a transformative experience with Salvia. He emphasizes the importance of remaining humble and prepared for a shifting reality as old scientific models show their inaccuracies.
