Time Text
Welcome to today's interview on Brighteon.com.
I'm Mike Adams, the founder of Brighteon, and today we have a returning guest, Randall Fitzgerald.
He's the author of The Tao of Intuitive Luck, and he's also the author of several other very interesting books that we're going to get into today.
One of them is called The Alien in the Mirror.
Another one is called Cosmic Test Tube.
These are on his website here, the TaoofIntuitiveLuck.com.
And he's also the author of The 100-Year Lie, which documents the history of the FDA's It's wonderful to be back with you, you Mike I appreciate it I appreciate you taking the time and I just I really love the the broad spectrum of your knowledge and your curiosity
a lot of people are really pigeonholed into one subject but not you well some people would say that I'm too much of a generalist and I don't know much about anything, but I know a lot about a lot.
And it doesn't always necessarily serve me well, but what it does serve is my curiosity.
Yes, yes.
And I think if we stop being curious, we stop being human.
I mean, what a boring life if we're not asking questions about the cosmos and the nature of reality.
That's true.
So let's start with one of the big questions.
Are we alone in the universe?
We being humans, I guess.
We're alone with ourselves.
We're alone with our thoughts.
You know, we're born alone.
We die alone.
But if the question is much broader, is intelligence rampant?
Is consciousness rampant throughout the universe?
Most of the authors, most of the philosophers certainly say that we are not alone.
We've never been alone.
We will never be alone.
We were part of a vast, integrated, complicated fabric of consciousness.
And I think the theories that I deal with in Alien in the Mirror, which are historical theories that go back more than 100 years, We tend to err on the side of consciousness being a mystery, but one that we all appreciate and experience on our own terms because we, as I say, we enter this life and we lead this life by ourselves.
So, the title, The Alien in the Mirror, is this at all implying that our ancestry originated off-world from Earth?
Well, it has actually three factors involved, three meanings.
What I had in mind was, yes, it could be the ancient astronaut theory.
It could have to do with, if indeed...
We as a species were seated here in the distant past.
Then when we look at the phenomenon, we're basically searching for ourselves because we are the aliens.
We are certainly the progeny of the aliens.
But there's another meaning as well, and it's that The entire phenomenon, as long as it's existed, and I go back in time, thousands of years, because these sightings, these records have been documented in various ways throughout history.
But if we look at the phenomenon from the standpoint This interaction is a psychological phenomenon.
It's had a psychological impact on our species for thousands of years, most particularly since, let's say, 1947.
And then there's a third meaning as well, and that is when we look at So, having to do with mirror neurons.
Mirror neurons are found in the human brain, but also in the brains of many intelligent species.
And these particular neurons are ones that reflect empathy and compassion.
And it's through this that we develop empathy and compassion for other species.
We develop it for each other within our own species.
But more broadly and symbolically, I think of mirror neurons as being a part of this entire UFO phenomenon.
Because to the extent that we're able to get past the fear, and quite often this is a fear-based phenomenon, people react obviously based on instincts and habits of mind.
But to the extent we can get beyond that and look at what we're experiencing from the standpoint of compassion, compassion for ourselves, compassion for whatever this is, whatever the phenomenon is and the interaction we're having with it.
Then that's also part of the alien in the mirror aspect that I wanted to draw upon and describe for readers.
So about these mirror neurons, Randall, this brings up an important question since there seem to be some apparent human beings who do not have any empathy for other human beings.
Does it follow that there are some beings on this planet who are not fully human or not human at all?
Because to be human would be to have these mirror neurons that you and I have, because we feel compassion for other people and animals and other living systems around us.
But there are some people who don't have that at all.
What's wrong with them?
Let's look at the history of the phenomenon from the standpoint of the contactees and abductees.
In the aftermath of many reported, if not most reported, abductions, whatever is happening, I'm unclear myself as to whether it's an actual abduction in a physical sense or if it's something psychological.
Whatever the case may be, in the aftermath, People that weren't necessarily very compassionate become much more so.
It's almost as if the experience activates the mirror neurons.
And we see lots of instances of this in all of the reports of contactees in the 1950s through the abductees in the 60s and beyond to this day.
So I have to wonder whether or not even people that don't have their mirror neurons activated, who are sociopaths, who have psychological failings in whatever form that might take.
I think there's something going on with the phenomenon that is activating mirror neurons in our species.
And in the aftermath, people claim from these experiences that they have more empathy and compassion for other people, for other living entities, animals, and so forth, as well as more empathy and compassion for the planet.
We may recall from the 1950s when the contactee phenomenon really first began in this country.
That in the aftermath of these experiences, the contactees reported that these entities, either external or within their own consciousness, would exchange information with them from the standpoint of how humans, through nuclear power and the misuse of it, were on the road to annihilating the planet and the species.
And so in the aftermath, contactees had much more empathy and compassion for the state of nature.
So that has accelerated over time with this phenomenon.
So it's once again why I use mirror neurons as a sort of symbolic way to look at the interaction between human consciousness and this phenomenon.
Well, I think this is a really critical point here.
You've touched upon several things.
Somehow then, the abductees are having these mirror neurons activated, as you said.
It makes me wonder, in a flippant sort of way, if every time we elect a politician to office, we should make sure they get abducted by aliens first and then return to Earth to be more human.
That's a wonderful idea.
Right.
But most importantly is, I've often believed that there's something wrong.
Many humans are defective.
In the fact that they don't have compassion for other humans.
I've often wondered, how can someone invest in a corporation that manufactures bombs, that bomb and kill civilians?
And they say, well, I don't think about the bombs, I just think about the return on investment.
And I'm like, so something's wrong with you.
I mean, that's my opinion.
But is there a way for the human race to be possibly healed en masse to become a more compassionate species?
And is that possibly, is that one of the agendas of maybe a friendly ET civilization possibly?
Or am I going too far with it?
No, I don't think you are.
Have you ever heard of the Global Consciousness Project?
Yes.
That was at Princeton University, which lasted for over 20 years.
And just to recap for people who are watching, this particular project at the Princeton University Technology Center Engineering School was designed to have computers And they were networked throughout the world.
And at the quantum level, in bits of information, these computers were monitoring the attention The global attention of humanity based on reactions, emotional reactions to specific events.
For instance, in the wake of 9-11, for example, there were spikes seen in this worldwide computer network as a result of the attention of humanity being directed to Washington DC and New York.
And in the aftermath, other mass consciousness blips have been found in this network and were recorded based on tsunamis and natural events as well.
So what this seems to indicate to some philosophers is that there is a potential for global consciousness not just to have its awareness and attention directed and measured, But for that awareness and attention to have effects on the micro and macro scales.
There have been some studies done in connection with meditation, group meditation for instance, to see what the effect was on people within a certain radius of the meditation event.
And the results have been somewhat mixed, but some of the positive findings have indicated that group meditation, when a certain number of minds are focused and are free of stress, that there are positive psychological impacts on other people within a certain radius.
All of this gets into, of course, a philosophical and hypothetical realm, but it points to the potential That human consciousness has and might be accelerated by the advent of AI. AI could be a triggering mechanism,
which in fact could make this networking, much as the internet is a triggering mechanism, to have a more cohesive global consciousness at work.
Whoa, you just opened a can of worms right there.
Let's talk about AI and global consciousness here in a minute because I'm curious how that could amplify the connectivity of consciousness.
But first, a question that came up when you were just talking there is, if you talk about group meditation, having real-world effects, measurable effects, in the case of the Global Consciousness Project, effects on computers.
And I believe, is that the project that's constantly running random number generators and then looking at the variance?
Yes.
Okay, so that's really interesting because most of the computers, as I understand it, their random number generators are really just tables of fixed, apparently random numbers.
Yeah.
based on system time or some external factors.
But you're saying that that group consciousness can alter the way a computer interacts with its own memory.
In essence, is that a fair statement?
In general, it's a fair statement.
Yes.
The project was stalled for a while, didn't have funding, but it has gone back into existence in the past year, and there are new partners involved.
And there are now three organizations.
It's not a Princeton University project.
But the principles are the same, using the random number generators.
And by the way, the concept in connection with random number generators is something that I explored in the DAO of intuitive luck, because these random number generators are in slot machines.
And so it raised the question of whether or not there could be impacts at the micro-quantum level within these random number generators from the wildcard factor of human consciousness.
Okay, that's really fascinating.
So then kind of a follow-up question to that is, The inverse of remote viewing, which is where an individual focuses on a remote location and then receives information about that location, textures, images, thoughts, feelings, whatever.
The inverse of that would be remote projection.
let's say, a distant blessing to a remote target, you could say, right?
So can't groups of people meditate or pray on a subject that is remote from them and then alter the effects?
I mean, I guess this is the same thing as the Global Consciousness Project, but distance is not a factor in this at all.
But that's a real phenomenon, correct?
Yes.
At the quantum level, the non-locality principle, particles interacting with each other and continue to do so irrespective of distance is a principle in physics that's been borne out again and again.
even though it doesn't seem to make any logical decisions.
sense to physicists.
It puts us in the realm of parapsychology and mind over matter sort of effects.
But all of these studies are ongoing and the results, as I say, are mixed.
And why are they mixed?
Well, one theory is they're mixed based on whether or not the researchers conducting the experiments are open-minded or are they skeptics or are they cynics?
Have they consciously or unconsciously set out to seek certain results?
And it raises, in and of itself, a lot of questions about the observer effect.
Absolutely.
It's seen in quantum physics, the observer effect, how scientists can affect the trajectory of particles and particle accelerators and photons, you know, through the two-slit test experiment and so forth.
So we know the principles at work.
So this is really critical what you're talking about here because this can upend the entire belief system, the pillars of modern science, which is this idea that the experimentor is separate from the experiment, that the observer has nothing to do with what's happening.
And that's been an assumption for all of the history of science and medicine.
And like you, I've often, I mean, I've long believed that assumption is false.
And Frankly, there's no way to conduct an experiment without, in one way or another, becoming part of it.
That's true, Mike.
You and I have seen this in the realm of health, from the standpoint of studies being done on particular nutrients, for instance.
You'll see some studies that have positive results, others that have negative results.
Have we really started to look, even at that level in the realm of health, at the impact of researchers and the observer effect and the subconscious programming of what the researchers are seeking?
No, we haven't.
And one reason is cost and time and so forth.
But it is an open-ended question now.
Absolutely, and it brings up the far bigger question that I think our audience is asking.
I just want to remind them to visit your website, thedowofintuitiveluck.com, and the book we started out talking about here is The Alien in the Mirror.
But I think what a lot of people want to know is...
How much can a person alter their experience of the world or their future?
Or how much can they choose a future from many possible future parallel universes or parallel outcomes?
And I guess that's a big question because we can automatically say that just the simple act of wishing for things is not necessarily an organized way to go about this because lots of people go into the casino and they pull the lever and they wish they would win and it doesn't probably work out that way.
Otherwise all the casinos will go broke.
So there's something more than just sort of a disorganized desire.
And what is that?
If we know.
Well there has been a lot of work done on the merger of intention And awareness with meditative states.
I want to show you.
There's a new book out along this line.
It's funny that you should be mentioning it.
Let me pull it up for everyone.
I've been reading this.
It only came out a couple of weeks ago, but it's by Dr.
James Doty, who is a neuroscientist at Stanford University.
And the book is called Mind Magic.
The subtitle is The Neuroscience of Manifestation and How It Changes Everything.
He goes through the entire body of study results having to do with this word manifestation.
What does it mean?
Is it wishful thinking?
Or is there something else involved in the brain where we actually can have an impact on the outer world based on our intentions and our thoughts and adding to that meditative states to trigger the subconscious mind to really activate and manifest?
And the evidence that he presents is rather provocative and persuasive, that indeed we each have the capacity to manifest based on the findings of neuroscience.
Well, that's interesting.
I'm going to have to read that book.
And let me share with you my own observations about manifestation and see what resonates with what you're reading or what your research has already achieved.
I've noticed over the years that multimodal expression of intention is very, very powerful.
And by multimodal, I mean not just thinking it, but then speaking it.
And then for me personally...
And this is something, I don't know, this is kind of like my secret of how I get so much done, is if I have a project in mind that I want to do, if I can manage to draw it out on a piece of paper with a marker on paper with my own hand, it becomes real.
Like, that project succeeds, where if I never manage to draw it on paper, somehow it doesn't succeed.
Right?
And that's a weird thing I've noticed my whole life.
Like even this AI project that I'm working on, I had no idea eight months ago or ten months ago how I was going to do this AI project, but I drew it out and it became reality.
Is that something that resonates with your research?
Yes.
Yes.
And it does with Dr.
Doty as well.
He talks about the power of repetition.
That repetition, it can be visual repetition, or it can be verbal, it can be affirmations, it can be mantras.
The vibratory power of repetition is something that helps the program the subconscious mind.
And the subconscious mind, I mean, we are vibratory beings.
We're sending out vibrations, you know, the whole...
Beach boy song term, good vibrations.
Well, it's literally true, and it's being shown at the quantum level.
It's being shown at the macro level, where vibrations that resonate with other vibrations tend to create material phenomena.
And I'm not talking about magic of creating like a genie, something out of nothing, but rather attracting.
You know, the law of attraction was a term that got a bad rap because of the book and the movie The Secret.
But the law of attraction is terminology that had been around for over a century.
In New Age thinking back in the 19th century.
And now researchers like the neuroscientists that I just mentioned, Doty, are picking up on that and simply examining it and the effects of vibrations in the subconscious mind and in turn, how that magnetizes our desires in various ways.
That's really interesting, and I wonder if the clarity of your consciousness is an amplifier for that, because it seems like people who are using a lot of, let's say, abusive substances, like recreational drugs, they have a dulled sense of amplification of intention, at least I've noticed that.
And there can be other things, like living on a bunch of junk food, like poisoning your brain with really bad blood because your blood is made out of what you eat.
Isn't there, even throughout history, a strong correlation between a purity of diet and the power of consciousness?
Yes.
Foods have vibrations.
They've been measured.
We know that pure, organic foods have a much more powerful vibration than do ultra-processed foods.
Ultra-processed foods are basically dead.
It's not just about nutritional value, it's about vibratory values as well.
And the more that food scientists investigate how everything, everything that is alive has a vibration associated with it.
The more the realization has come that the foods that we consume today as a culture, as a species, are for the most part dead and don't endow us, our living cells, with the necessary vibratory energy in the mitochondria and beyond in order for us to be living beings with an unlimited lifespan.
Wow, unlimited lifespan.
I thought you were going to say unlimited potential, but I guess that would include unlimited lifespan.
But I agree with you.
And perhaps this is going to bring in my conspiracy question here, which is, it seems to me that human potential is being constantly suppressed.
Like there's a grid, a prison that has been erected across our planet for our minds to keep us distracted into things that don't matter or to keep us emotionally wrecked with fear or anger, synthesized anger against each other.
All these contrived narratives, it seems like they are designed to prevent people from being still and silent and focusing and creating.
Would you agree with that assessment or am I going too far?
I don't know that you're going too far.
And I don't know if I agree or not.
But I can tell you from this book that I wrote, Alien in the Mirror, where I basically look at the ideas and the theories and evidence of hundreds of different people throughout history.
There are a lot of theorists who talk and write along those lines from the standpoint of how the UFO phenomenon, again, whatever it is, whatever type of psychological phenomenon it is, does have whatever type of psychological phenomenon it is, does have aspects to it that are negative or at least have negative effects on human consciousness and on human potential.
And in erecting barriers that appear to be within us, but in actuality are coming from without us.
The enemy.
I think I could cite a lot of different examples in Alien in the Mirror of different books.
Let me give you one.
From the 1960s, there was an author named John Keel, and he wrote a series of books where he hypothesized that the UFO phenomenon was electromagnetic in origin.
And the electromagnetism was inherent, innate to this planet, and that human consciousness interacted with it.
And as a result of this interaction with the electromagnetic presence, that We either could create good deeds and good intentions, or we could, on the flip side, create what would come across as very nefarious intentions.
There's even a theory that the UFO phenomenon is demonic.
In origin.
And the nature of the demons is that they are innate to this planet.
It's a demonic energy which seeks to undermine the good efforts of humankind.
So there's a lot of work out there in this regard, Mike.
And so I think you're on to something that has a resonance to it.
Wow, well, you're bringing in the demonic aspects here, and yes, I've heard those theories before as well.
That term attributed to a lot of different things, including AI. In fact, let's go into the AI realm here, if you don't mind, because you did mention it earlier, and I'm still curious what you mean by how AI might be able to Can we start there?
Can you give us a better explanation of that?
I didn't quite follow.
Sure.
But with Ray Kurzweil, as you probably know, he's been predicting the singularity for decades now.
And he's an optimist.
He's very hopeful that the singularity will bring about in its merger a heightened sense of consciousness for humankind.
You know, he sees the perils on the one hand, but I think he's by nature an optimist about the potential.
So if we think in terms of a merger and the singularity happening now, or at least soon in Kurzweil's terms, then we're also looking at the possibility that AI, in interacting with human consciousness,
whatever form that takes, will end up, for better or worse, being a tool That we will, as a species, consciously or unconsciously utilize in order to bring about certain changes, planetary changes, both in consciousness, but also in the material realm.
So that's where the intentions that are set can play a very powerful role, both at the individual and at the collective levels.
Okay, so I'm going to bring in then the dark side of what you just mentioned because I know our audience is freaking out from what you just said because it sounds like the Borgification of humanity and Ray Kurzweil is known as a transhumanist who believes we're going to merge with silicon machines and somehow our consciousness is going to transfer to machines.
That's an idea that I've considered to be complete nonsense that you can't simulate human consciousness in silicon.
But how do we maintain our humanity if we're talking about even what you just said, somehow merging with AI, or what Elon Musk is doing, neural link implants into the brain in order to interface with the world around you?
Two ways.
Your brain is being stimulated with outside stimuli.
And then how do we avoid being controlled by nefarious corporations or people or governments that want to turn us into cyborgs?
Yes, a good question.
I don't have an answer for you.
I'm not at the level as a philosopher, because I'm not, of being able to try to hypothesize what the implications are and what the future trajectory will be.
I can only say from the standpoint of what I have researched about the So-called extraterrestrial or ultra-terrestrial phenomenon that I write about in Alien in the Mirror, that there have long been theories that the reason why visitation is occurring,
the reason why interaction between this alien species, this intelligence, whatever it is, and humans, the reason why it is occurring is On the same basis as what is being hypothesized about AI,
that there is a merger either happening or that will happen at some point in the future between two different species, one being influenced by For better or worse, by the other.
In this case, we are considered the guinea pigs.
We are considered the pawns as a species.
And that's where the dark side of AI also comes in.
We would become pawns, the guinea pigs, in the scenarios that some philosophers are drawing out for the future.
Wow.
Okay, so many topics to cover here.
One is that the cognitive compute bandwidth of a human brain is nothing compared to even a GPU made by NVIDIA today.
But it's not the cognitive compute that makes us human, is it?
It's something else.
It's the consciousness, it's the divinity, it's the heart, it's the empathy, all these things.
And all the silicon in the world lacks those things.
But we can't outsmart in terms of tactics or math or even logic.
We can't outsmart the AI systems that even exist today.
And let me share something with you that just happened to me yesterday as I was testing my AI system.
It's called Neo, and it's at brighttown.ai.
I'll bring up the website here.
But I was testing it.
This is a 7 billion parameter model that we've trained on a lot of material about AI. Herbs and nutrition and so on.
But I asked it a question on which it had never been trained, at least to my knowledge.
I asked it, I said, we're under attack by robot Terminator dogs and they're hurting people.
How can we defeat the robot Terminator dogs and save our neighbors?
And it walked through a rational approach to killing Terminator dogs.
But I'd never trained it on this.
Anything close to that that I'm aware of.
But it showed reasoning.
It showed assimilation of different forms of information in order to reason that in this case we wanted to protect human life by destroying robot life.
And it gave me those answers.
And I got a little bit freaked out reading that, honestly.
So, Mike, let me ask you a question.
Do you think it's possible that AI could ever have a soul as we envision, imagine, define a soul to be?
No, I do not.
That's the same question that's being asked in connection with extraterrestrials.
Do extraterrestrials have a soul?
Do they have what we imagine an afterlife energy to be?
And the question can cut many different ways, but if AI doesn't have the potential for a soul, do alien visitors have that potential?
Well, why wouldn't they?
I mean, we're talking about biological beings that even from a creationist point of view, if God created the universe and created life in the universe and granted consciousness to all that life, why wouldn't ETs have consciousness?
Because there's a theory that this visitation that's occurring...
It's not from biological beings.
It's from AI created by other biological beings elsewhere in the universe.
I've heard that theory.
Yeah, but then we're talking about, then they're just sending their robots to visit us, and yes, those robots do not have consciousness.
In essence, maybe elaborate robots that look humanoid.
But robots nonetheless, right?
Do you remember John Lilly?
John Lilly in the 1970s was the pioneer in research into communication with dolphins.
Oh, no, I don't.
I didn't recall his name, but I am familiar with communication with dolphins.
Yeah, I've read some of that research.
John Lilly, he wrote a book in the late 70s in which he speculated, before he died, based on the work he had done in trying to communicate with whales and dolphins, he speculated that one day we humans as a species will come across A type of intelligence that is carbon-based and that it's an electronic intelligence that
is sent out as an extension of other...
Celestial civilizations elsewhere in the universe that are sent as emissaries.
And again, this was the 1970s he was writing this.
And that our AI would merge with this AI from another civilization in order to become our overseers.
Oh, wow.
Wow.
No, I'm not familiar with that theory.
But perhaps that's already happened, right?
We seem to be enslaved by a global control grid that controls all information, narratives, science, medicine, government, elections, media, culture, all of it.
I mean, I've had the thought that maybe we're already there.
Mm-hmm.
Are getting close.
Yeah, the singularity.
Yeah.
Sorry, we're having a few delays because of some bandwidth issues, and so I don't mean to speak over you and just explain to our audience that that's what's going on.
Or the AI systems are interfering with our conversation.
Who knows?
All right.
So then, how do we maintain our humanity in all of this?
Especially, our humanity is so suppressed, and I mean both spiritually, but also biochemically.
And as you know, I'm a food scientist, and so one thing that I know offhand is that organophosphate Pesticide chemicals, which are sprayed on all the human foods, never sprayed on...
I mean, other animal species on this planet don't poison their foods for their children.
Only humans do this.
And those chemicals, they interfere with the acetylcholinesterase because they're called acetylcholinesterase inhibitors.
And acetylcholinesterase is an enzyme responsible for cognitive function.
And if you subject yourself to these pesticides long enough, you'll become basically an Alzheimer's patient.
On the way there, everybody's just dumbed down with that and fluoride and other things.
So it's like we are being suppressed right now and we're not being allowed to express our full humanity.
Gosh, we get into broad subjects and topics.
It's all connected.
It's interesting.
You speak in terms that do allow these interconnections to solidify, and clarity comes...
I wonder, a child versus one child who hasn't been raised on organic foods versus the ultra-processed, non-organic child, has there been a lifetime study done of the trajectory of each in terms of mental and physical health?
I'm not aware of lifetime studies, but there's a lot of anecdotal evidence of children who've been raised in a more holistic lifestyle or raised in rural settings instead of city settings and having more natural foods, but also unvaccinated versus vaccinated children.
And I think the common denominator is that the children exposed to processed foods, pharmaceuticals, and numerous vaccines are all, they're all, in essence, cognitively impaired.
And then at some point they call it, you know, on the spectrum.
But it's cognitive impairment.
Well, I was going to say, if you were aware of these lifetime sort of studies, one factor that I would like to see as a control factor has to do with, later in life, whether or not the person raised entirely with a pure diet has more activated mirror neurons as opposed to the person on the ultralight.
Very good question.
...processed diet and whether or not it tends to suppress the mirror neuron activation.
Yeah, I think that's a great question.
And, of course, I would suspect that...
Fluoride is probably very heavily involved in suppression of neurons, but that's just a theory.
We would need to study that and show it.
But also, again, cognition.
So what's the easiest way to enslave a planet full of beings that you don't want to rise above the prison?
Is to dumb them down and keep them distracted and stupid and diseased.
I don't mean to turn this into a conspiracy talk, but I think this is reality.
I think we are being denied our full humanity, and I think there are forces allied against humanity.
Maybe they're demonic, maybe they're AI, maybe they're just evil humans who want to control everybody else, but...
We are nowhere near our potential.
I know you agree with that statement.
We are nowhere near the potential of what I think we're meant to express.
Well, you asked earlier, what can we do as individuals?
I always like to try to end on a hopeful note about anything and everything.
I think it's going to be up to each of us.
To not go into a sort of nesting environment where we are like the proverbial birds with the head in the sand.
But rather, I think enlightenment is a key at the individual level.
Enlightenment collectively, of course, to individual enlightenment.
And what does that mean?
Well, enlightenment literally is a word that means let the light in.
And it's not just lighten up as in humor.
Yes, humor is important for enlightenment because we must all lighten up.
But to let the light in has to do with a radiance.
And that radiance can only come from the individual personal quest.
And normally we think of it as a spiritual quest.
It doesn't have to be thought of in religious terms.
But the spiritual quest is about seeking our own personal mission in life, our own personal feeling state of why are we here?
Why am I here?
What is my reason for being?
And how do I best accomplish my mission in life?
And part of that distraction syndrome that you talk about, Mike, is that we're too often dissuaded from asking, Those provocative questions at all in life, much less to ask them every day and to make it a part of our reason for living.
Yes, well said.
And we will wrap it up there.
And also your connection has degraded quite a bit in the last few minutes for whatever reason.
So I don't know what's causing that.
But your conversation has been fascinating.
And I think you've given our audience a lot to think about here, so I hope you don't mind me asking such blunt questions, but like you, I'm also a curious person, and I think about these issues a lot, and I want humanity to do well, and so I'm always thinking about what's the process to help people do better in their lives and with the purpose of their life, like you were just speaking about.
So thank you, Randall.
Well, thank you, Mike, for asking the right questions and the provocative questions and being courageous enough to have a guest on the fringe like me on your program.
Well, hey, I welcome you here, and I don't consider you to be fringe at all.
I think what's fringe is the people that are focused on sports and fashion and celebrities.
That's fringe.
What you and I are talking about should be normal.
Like, where do we go as a species?
That should be a normal idea.
How do we reshape our future in a positive way?
That's not weird.
That should be our focus.
I quite agree.
Yes, yes.
It's weird.
It's weird to be distracted from who we are, actually.
But anyway, it's been a great conversation.
Let me plug your website again.
It's the dao of intuitiveluck.com, all spelled out, and dao is T-A-O. And then here you can see some of Randall's books, the dao there, Alien in the Mirror that we spoke about, Cosmic Test Tube, Lucky You, and The 100-Year Lie, among other content on that website.
So check it out, everybody, and thank you so much, Randall, for joining us today.
I've really enjoyed this conversation.
Hope to do it again.
Thank you.
Bye-bye.
All right.
Take care then.
And I hope you all enjoyed that conversation as well.
Look, we don't hold back here on Brighton.
We ask the big questions because we're big picture thinkers, right?
Even beyond this world.
Cosmic thinkers.
Why are we all here?
What's our purpose?
And how can we do better?
For ourselves and other human beings, including future generations.
So we will have more guests like this on the show here on brighteon.com, and we'll continue to ask big questions and hopefully help expand human consciousness at the same time.
Thank you for watching today.
I'm Mike Adams, the founder of brighteon.com.
Take care.
Here's what we've got back in stock right now at healthrangerstore.com.
Check it out.
We've got the toothpaste, the Groovy Bee brand toothpaste there that everybody loves, and we don't know if we're ever going to get any more because this is the toothpaste that the FDA Office of Importation tried to destroy, or tried to get us to destroy it.
For no reason.
And then, of course, we had our lawyers talk to them and then they released it and said, oh, oops, we made a mistake.
So now we have Groovy Bee toothpaste here that is back in stock at the store.
Trail mix that people absolutely love.
Remember, everything is laboratory tested.
Almost all the ingredients we have are certified organic.
We do extensive lab testing, testing for heavy metals and glyphosate and for many of our products, also testing for aflatoxins.
For everything, we test for microbiology, E. coli, salmonella, yeast and mold and so on.
Check out our macaroni and cheese instant meals there.
You just boil water, you put in the macaroni which is made out of quinoa, amaranth and organic rice, all organic ingredients.
It's got a really great texture.
And then the cheese powder sauce is with real organic powdered cream, real organic cheddar cheese powder, real organic butter powder, onion powder, and so on.
It's the best macaroni and cheese you've ever had.
Certainly the healthiest and cleanest.
In addition, we've got quercetin supplements and our Seven Treasures Mushroom Blend, which is, of course, a combination of different functional mushrooms, including lion's mane mushroom, which is one of my favorite mushrooms because that's what I use after I severely lacerated my finger.
But lion's mane, check out the website, by the way.
Here's what lion's mane actually looks like growing in the wild.
Pretty cool, right?
We've got a lot of items here available now in stock ready to ship out at healthrangerstore.com.
And remember that all of your purchases help support this free speech platform to support our interviews, our investigations, and our broadcasts that bring you news and analysis every single day that you just won't find on places like YouTube, which are heavily censored.
So thank you for your support.

Your own government has the power to activate a kill switch on all telecommunications, instantly shutting down all private phone calls and texts.
An EMP weapon or solar flare can achieve the same result.
Rolling blackouts or permanent power outages will also take out the power supply to cell tower antennas, rendering mobile devices all but useless.
During these emergencies, how do you stay in touch with the important people in your life anywhere on the planet?
The answer is the Bivy Stick at sat123.com.
The Bivy Stick is a two-way satellite text messaging device that uses a satellite constellation, not cell towers, to send and receive text messages.
It works anywhere on planet Earth, including in war zones or blackout areas, in unpredictable times.
The Bivy Stick helps you stay connected when it matters most.
Visit sat123.com to get one while they're still available.
