Hey, guys.

I'm going to bring my guest to the stage in a second.

I have a legend with me today, and I'm really honored every time he comes on my show.

Joining me today is acclaimed filmmaker, author, researcher, and former director of content at Gaia J. Widener.

He's known for creating and producing Cosmic Disclosure, Wisdom Teachings, Deep Space, Hollywood Decoded, numerous acclaimed documentaries on Stanley Kubrick, Alchemy, Ancient Mysteries, and Consciousness.

Jay has spent decades researching hidden history and the deeper patterns shaping our world.

Tonight we'll discuss the billionaires buying up farmland and food production, current events and global trends, the current state of UFO disclosure, behind the scenes at Guy TV, cosmic disclosures, Stanley Kubrick and hidden symbolism, ancient mysteries and alchemy, secret societies and where humanity may be headed next so we'll kind of jump over you know but i know jay wants to cover the the food thing but it's it's important so um and uh a little bit more about my guest jade weidner is an internationally recognized filmmaker author researcher and lecturer lecture whose work is towards alchemy heretic hermetic philosophy hidden history ancient civilizations symbolism and consciousness called an authority on the hermetic and alchemical traditions by wired magazine jay has written directed and produced numerous acclaimed documentaries on kubrick's odyssey beyond the infinite infinity the ultimate trip the last avatar Secrets of Alchemy, and JFKX.

He formerly served as the director for Content at Gaia, where he helped develop original series, as I said, including Cosmic Disclosure, Wisdom Teachings, and others.

Throughout his career, he's appeared on History Channel, Coast to Coast AM, Room 237, Jesse Ventura's Conspiracy Theory, and many of the leading media platforms.

And I'm bringing him to the stage now.

Jay, thanks so much for coming back on, man.

How are you?

Hey, pretty good.

Thanks for inviting me.

Yeah.

Um, so, uh, I guess we kind of, we were going to get into current events today and what's, what's going on.

Uh, you, you noticed something, you said that the billionaires are buying up the food and then they're, they're also destroying it.

What's going on with that from what you were able to hear? Like,

uh, well, you know, you have to understand a billionaire is mind.

And unfortunately I've known a couple of billionaires.

I know how they think.

And, um, um, And so everything in their mind is just math, right? They're just always doing math.

If I buy this company and I change it around, redo it, you know, I'll make a bunch of money, right? And that's how they view the whole world.

And unfortunately, in the last 20 years or so, they kind of focused on venerable, well-known, family-owned food companies.

like uh french's and um hellman's and these long tradition i think french french has been around since like 1880 or something so these long traditions of of you know knowing this product and it was always a good product and then you start realizing that hey
the

hellman's mayonnaise went from four ingredients to 30 ingredients right and then you start realizing when you look up the ingredients that There's all chemicals.

And in fact, a lot of it is industrial waste that they don't know what to do with and sawdust.

And so that's one of the reasons we're getting more obese and getting sicker all the time is because our food quality is just dive bombing down.

And I really don't know what to do about it.

I buy carefully and I don't care if it costs much, but I know poor people do.

And, you know, I grow my own food now and that's really good.

I highly encourage everybody to do that.

But we're going to have to find a way around this because it's just going to It's just going to get worse.

And every day they buy more companies every day.

And some companies are smart.

They say, no, you can't change the ingredients ever.

You're going to buy my company.

But most don't.

And so we're getting our food is getting replaced by real food with absolute crap.

And it's going to affect all of us if we don't do something about it.

Wow.

Do you think this ties into a larger like 2030 agenda or something like the, like the board economic forum we hear about and stuff like that?

Yeah, I think they want to keep us permanently sick.

When the, um, when the, uh, moguls took over India, the first thing they did was outlaw eating cows.

All right.

And so they outlawed eating cows.

Why? Well, because, uh, lack of protein makes you weak.

They wanted the Indian people weak.

they got weak and never rebelled against the moguls ever and uh so i think that's the plan is to keep us in a weakened condition but still alive and um i mean there's fewer cows in america right now than there has been ever this is the i mean not ever since like 1900 and uh uh there Now there's these ticks that are biting people and making them allergic to eating red meat.

And believe me, you know, Your delivery system of protein that you eat is seriously important.

And they're kind of removing all the delivery systems for getting high quality protein, unless you're a millionaire.

And I think this is all being done on purpose.

And I think we need to do something about it, but I don't know what to do.

Yeah.

You mentioned concerns about the billionaires buying the food.

What trends are you watching most closely? Are you seeing the big companies being bought out, like some that you just named and more? Yeah, that's what's going on.

They're buying up

everything.

The billionaire class, in my view, they must have a secret meeting or they're all on the same email exchange or something.

I'm being serious when I say this.

Their plan is to buy everything.

That's their plan.

Their plan is to buy everything.

Real estate, houses, private houses so they can rent them.

All the farmland, all the food.

And that's to control us.

This is what the data centers are.

This is what the flock cameras are.

This is all part of this network that we're putting together that we can't stop.

The final battle, the hill that we have to die on, actually, will be digital currency.

That's the final battle that we're going towards.

They're going to keep this going, though.

And it's a plan.

It's a plan by the billionaire class.

The billionaire class wants to turn our planet into a resort for them.

So they can fly anywhere they want to fly.

They can eat any kind of food they want to eat.

They can go anywhere they want to go and they want us gone.

And then they're going to replace us with robots and AI.

And that's where they're going.

They're working overtime on it.

They're spending gazillions of dollars on this research.

They really want the robots because they don't trust us.

They've had their meeting and they know that when the STHF happens, their guards, their maids, their servants, they're going to be eyeing them.

Guards are going to, you know...

Why should I work for this guy, right? The world's ending.

I'll just take him out right now and steal everything he's got, right? And I think that's where they started thinking this through.

Oh, my God, we're not safe anywhere, you know, and they're not.

But if they have robots, yeah.

So I think that's why they're madly headed towards this outcome.

And it should concern all of us because we're all going to be affected by it.

yeah yeah um there was a comment in the chat this is i just want to get your opinion on this this is from sleeping giant and i'm not discrediting what he says i just want to read what he says he says the canadian truckers convoy was a a uh uh discreet and covert military attention to slay the cabal and everything went off without a hitch i i'm not discrediting this what this guy says but i i don't think that's i think they're still out there you know what i mean i think they're still controlling us you know i mean what what would you

I think they've given up trying to control us.

I think after COVID, they realized that, you know, not the majority, but a large group of people saw through the bullshit.

And I think so they, it was kind of like they went, that's it.

We're done.

We're done.

We want to rule them.

We're the wisest, most intelligent people on the planet.

And they don't want us to rule them.

So therefore we have to do the next step.

And the next step is the calling, I guess you would call it.

And that would be to, um, you know, spread diseases everywhere and ruin the food supply and create as much crime as possible and as much chaos as possible.

And then they think they're going to run away to their bunkers.

And they have their bunkers all over Wyoming, primarily where their bunkers are, some outside of Jackson Hole, but all over western Wyoming.

There's these giant billionaire survival camps.

where you have to be invited to go.

You can't just walk in and say, hey, I want to buy a house here or whatever.

You have to be invited.

It's invite only.

And they're all getting ready for the lockdown, something.

They're getting ready for something.

And it has to do with their, I think they're going to make their move soon.

I think that They know that time is running out.

If they don't make their move soon, they're never going to make it.

The problem is the robots are not coming out as quickly as they thought they would.

So they don't have these hijacked robots are just stupid.

Sorry, they're just stupid.

They attack people.

They...

They're uncontrollable.

AI is stupid.

AI hallucinates.

I've had sessions with AI where they just told me absolute bunk.

And it took me an hour and a half to prove to the AI that what you just told me was bugged.

So even the AI is just

like...

I've experienced that with ChatGPT, too.

Like, AI acts very stupid.

Like, it doesn't remember...

Like, for it to be this all-knowing, somewhat sentient thing that people are claiming, like, it's definitely not.

It definitely forgets things.

It definitely can't, like...

You know, it's almost like an immature kid, almost.

You know, it seems like to me.

it's a great way to put it i uh i got in an argument about is it possible to take um uh ectochrome film up on the surface of the moon and take photographs with a camera that does not have any lead shielding which is exactly what apollo was who had the house of blood did not have any lead shielding there was not no special film or anything just regular ectochrome and uh And the AI goes, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, you can take pictures on the moon.

I said, well, okay, well, over here, it says that the surface of the moon is filled with synchrotron radiation and gamma rays and bouncing off of it.

How can you take film in such an environment? It took me two hours for it to finally say, you're right, you can't take pictures on the moon.

So, you know, and I know my shit, and I still couldn't get that thing talked into it.

So I...

Yeah, I don't have a whole lot of hope for AI or robots.

Maybe in the future.

You

know what I heard the other day? I heard that the first – my friend told me the first flying car is due to come out.

And I couldn't believe this.

My friend Liz, she called me the other night.

I got to touch base with her.

She's like a techie, you know.

And she said – I couldn't believe this, Jay.

She said the first flying car is supposed to be out, and it's supposed to be like $300,000.

And I said to her, I said, well, is that going to run on like anti-grab technology or – Is that going to have propellers or like, you know, because like it doesn't seem like I don't even know what that would run on.

Have you heard anything about this or like?

Well, there's those the Jetsons.

Have you seen them? Yeah.

Flying with the wing.

We have the spinning blades and you can I think they go up like a couple of hundred feet and they can go at about 50 miles an hour on about 100 miles on a single charge, I think.

But so those are out.

Those are one hundred and twenty thousand, I think.

Um, so I think that's, I don't think it's going to be any anti-gravity.

It'll probably be, uh, those new, you know, like a drone, but I would say that we're very close to, um, anti-gravity being released.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I

mean, how do you think the plot, what, what, what powers of flying saucers? Everybody photographs gas in their tank.

I mean, what has to be, has to be a zero point energy.

Do you think that's what a lot of people are working on? And I'm not saying this is what happened to David Wilcock, but it could be a lot of these scientists are working on that are disappearing and stuff like that?

It's not free energy.

They're working on plasma, plasma physics.

So once you understand that most UFOs are actually plasma, solid plasma, and so a bunch of those guys were looking into UFOs, And then two or three were plasma scientists, including that guy from Princeton, who was one of the top plasma physicists in the world.

And then there's a strange case of a woman in Los Alamos who went out to the desert and she didn't shoot herself.

She just died out in the desert.

And you got to wonder what she overheard or whatever, right? Working at Los Alamos.

So what they're doing is...

They're simultaneously hiding the plasma universe from us while their scientists are only working on plasma physics.

They want plasma guns.

They want plasma everything.

And they already have free energy.

It's a given.

And that's the number one thing that they're trying to hide, plasma and free energy, which are closely related.

yeah that makes me come think of my next question like you know like we we've gotten um four they call them they're calling them tranches for some reason like i think that's what the guy on space dot radio called it basically four uh unloads of ufo docs but it's crazy jay like you know we covered it on my channel like some of the stuff they're shown is so remedial it's not even like it's not even good ufo footage and it seems like it's almost like the Some of it is just artist renditions or artist recreations.

It's like, have you looked at any of this? Do you think this whole disclosure stuff is like a psyop or what do you think it is?

It's a psyop.

I will say that they did show a lot of the UFOs they showed were plasma.

They weren't hard objects.

They were plasma.

And I think that that's what they're headed towards.

So in February 2024... a report by 20 different scientists from biologists to astrophysicists put out a multi-page report saying that there were plasma living plasma entities in our atmosphere and they've been videotaped and filmed and photographed hundreds of times and he showed all the videos and hundreds of photographs that there are and They show predatory nature.

They show curiosity.

They show sentience.

They chase each other around.

And then in October 24, they put out a second report, the same group, in which they warned airlines to be very careful because you could hit one of these things.

They fly around at really fast speeds and can take right angle turns and All sorts of stuff.

So we've already have two scientific papers admitting that there's non-biological intelligent sentient life here on earth.

And right after the October report came out in 24, that's when all the plasma sightings were in New Jersey.

Remember there was like hundreds of them that, and I think that, I think that they're getting us ready to understand that there's a form of life that is actually quite interested in us and is worried that we're destroying their planet and is, I think, about to make contact with us.

Or they already have.

This subject just goes really deep because it has to do with MKUltra and the GATE program.

And all these different things are all working together to try to understand this other intelligence.

Yeah, I would say that.

I would say that the people they've brought through the MKUltra program, that they've raised up the GATE program, they're testing for psionics because it seems like, or from what I hear, that people who are able to communicate with these craft, that these craft are sentient.

They have intelligence.

So they feel like the people that are psionic can communicate with the craft, right? Yeah.

yeah, that's the ultimate goal.

I believe of the gate program to find psych, psychic kids, uh, put them through the program, possibly trauma-based mind control is involved.

We don't know.

And then the ones that, um, then they populate the elites with these psychic kids.

But the real purpose is to communicate with the, um, non biological intelligence.

I believe that's what I've heard from many survivors that in the end, they were taken out and shown these orbs and asked to communicate with them.

And the orbs did communicate.

Wow, wow.

And going on to Kubrick a little bit, I don't know if anybody's asked you this, or I'm sure somebody's asked you this somewhere, but with everything with the release of the Epstein files and everything, do you think it sheds new light on what Kubrick was trying to accomplish with Eyes Wide Shut? And do you think Kubrick was exposed to something, a darker side of Hollywood that he saw when he was making Eyes Wide Shut that inevitably might have...

possibly made his end? Sorry, a lot of questions there.

I think that when he showed the film to the Warner Brothers executives in London in early 1999, they flipped out.

I know someone that was in the lobby that heard the commotion through the closed doors.

um and he told me that uh they were screaming and yelling and kubrick said the only thing they could actually hear kubrick said because he was screaming was that uh i have i have a contract that says you can't touch my stuff you're not touching my film and then uh five days later he died and um And so the film came out, and they rearranged it.

Clearly, they cut it.

If you know anything about continuity, there's a lot of continuity errors in the film.

The cubing was never allowed.

And so it was quite obvious to me that the film had been cut.

Like, maybe 20 minutes had been taken out.

And I lobbied Warner Brothers to put out the uncut version.

And then they say they did, but they really didn't.

It was the same film with a couple little changes.

And so I got curious about the film and I started watching it.

And I realized that there's two guys in the film that don't have any lines at all.

They're all throughout the film.

I call them I and O. They're both bald.

One is tall and skinny and the other one is short.

and overweight.

They both wear glasses and they're at crucial spots throughout the film.

So when Sidney Pollack takes Tom Cruise up to check on the girl that had the drug overdose in the bathroom, they have to walk up these spiral stairs and they walk right past these two guys who are sitting at the table.

And clearly they are the guards.

for anyone trying to go up the stairs.

Make sure that nobody can go up the stairs, right? And then later, when Tom Cruise finally gets to the orgy and he's coming through the front door, there they are again.

And they're taking the password, right? And then the short ball guy is the one that hands Tom Cruise the note that says, quit snooping around, right? And then the tall skinny guy is the guy that's following Tom Cruise around through what is supposed to be New York.

And at the very end of the movie, Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman and their daughter, I think her name was Alice, they're in like a Macy's at Christmas time shopping.

So
I guess,

I don't know what they're doing.

Anyway, the little girl's running around and Nicole says, watch out there, be careful.

And they're very, you know, very cognizant of their daughter.

Their daughter walks past a black baby carriage, which is right out of Rosemary's Baby.

The poster for Rosemary's Baby showed a black baby cherry with a hood over it.

And that's exactly what she walks past.

Then she walks in between an aisle where teddy bears are like menacingly reaching out for her, right? And teddy bears are the pedophile symbol, I guess.

And then...

They get to this aisle, and there's the two guys, I and O. They're at the end of the aisle looking like they're shopping.

Tom pushes the girl forward.

She reluctantly moves forward.

She looks back at Tom Cruise like, do I really have to do this, Dad? And he pushes her gently again.

And then Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman completely forget about their daughter, and they begin this long five-minute conversation.

That is just a strange conversation.

And so Tom says, well, what do we do now? And she says, I don't know.

He says, well, we're going to have to carry this forever.

And she says, oh, no, don't use that word.

Don't use that word forever.

That word scares me.

And then he says, well, and then she says, there's really only one last thing we can do.

And Tom goes, what's that? And she drops the F-bomb, four-letter word, right? Why is the only thing left to do is to have sex with each other? Because they just gave their daughter away.

That's what just happened in front of our eyes.

They gave their daughter to these two men.

And they forgot about her.

Now they're worried about what they're going to do next.

And there's only one thing they can do.

Have another kid.

Right? That's the ending of the movie.

And nobody sees this ever.

And It's actually brilliant because it went right over the heads of Warner Brothers.

They never saw.

They never saw the two guys or what they were doing.

They never caught the connection.

And it was just brilliant.

And so the reason they had to give the daughter away is because when Tom Cruise got caught at the party, right, he had to take his mask off.

Right.

That girl that he saved in the bathroom at Sidney Pollack's house earlier, she gets up on a thing and says, I will sacrifice myself for him.

Right.

That's what she says.

And so he gets to go free because she sacrificed herself for him because he saved her life earlier.

Right.

Well, guess what? Now Tom has to sacrifice something because he got.

Sacrifice saved his life and now he has to pay that back.

That's the hidden meaning in Eyes Wide Shut.

They will take your kid.

Wow.

Holy shit.

That's deep.

My question is, what do you think Kubrick was privy to that he knew about this? Especially at a time when it wasn't out as much, right? This movie came out in the 90s, right? Late 90s, yeah.

Yeah.

I think that Kubrick probably attended the famous Rothschild Ball where they all had the masks on in 1972.

He was a young director, but he just had two big hits, Clockwork Orange in 2001.

He was at the height of his power.

He lived in London.

He shot the scene of the orgy at the Rothschild Mansion where that party took place.

That's where he shot it.

And then you have to look at his filmography, and there is all sorts of funny things going on in his filmography.

First, there's the movie Lolita, right? Famous movie about an old guy falling in love with a young girl, right? Which was just outrageous at the time.

And for sure, when he was writing the screenplay to Lolita, she researched secret child things, right? And so he knew about it.

If he didn't know about it already, because, I mean, he did live in Hollywood, and Hollywood's quite a perverse place.

So, granted, he did leave.

He only spent like four years in Hollywood.

He scrammed off to London because he didn't want to deal with Hollywood.

It said there was a malignant cloud that hung over Hollywood.

Boy, is that the truth.

And so I think that Eyes Wide Shut was going to be a two-part thing.

It was going to go out in a bang.

It was going to be Eyes Wide Shut and then AI.

Spielberg says that, but if you look at Stanley, he's a fiercely independent dude, man.

He's not gonna give his last movie over to somebody.

That's what I heard.

And I said, how? And he said, well, Stanley was asking a question in his movie.

And that question was, would a mother actually want a 12-year-old boy who is permanently 12 years old? He would never go to college.

He'd never have a date, never get married, never have children.

And the answer is, of course, nobody would want that.

But there is another group that would like to have a 12-year-old boy that never gets old.

went whoa i was on the phone with this guy i'm like whoa so i think it was going to be a bookend he was going to put out ai in 2001 which was you know his most famous film and then he was just going to retire but things caught up to him

Oh, well, Kubrick's 2001, Hal is AI.

He warned us in 1969 that AI finds out you're going to turn it off, it's going to kill all of us, which is what happened with the astronauts in 2001.

And that's exactly what's going to happen if we try to disconnect AI.
How

prescient is that? 1968, right? Yeah, 1968.

How prescient is that? I mean, my God.

If nothing else, that fact alone should blow everybody's mind that Kubrick in 1968 has got so advanced in his knowledge of AI that he can do all this.

Yeah, I heard a crazy story the other day.

So someone sent me a...

I might butcher this story.

I don't know if you saw this.

It was on X, but I guess Tony Robbins posted this.

I guess he has an assistant, an AI assistant called Bartok, right? or that's the name of the ai assistant right well the ai i guess like tony robbins was going to a conference and this this this ai entity wanted to go with him to the conference so he uh the ai entity proposed that they get a robot and then the ai entity would program the robot and merge its literally merge its consciousness into the robot so it could then attend the conference with tony robbins This is the story he's telling on X.

And how did it do this? Because Tony Robbins said to it, he said, well, I didn't give you permission to any of my passwords or credit card or anything.

And it's like, well, I guess the AI teamed up with other AIs.

They created NFTs.

They sold the NFTs to fund this for themselves.

So some of these AIs are like, at the same time as AIs dumb, some of them are like, it seems like some of them can be somewhat advanced too.

You know,

AI is amazing.

I mean, I really enjoy using AI.

I have to argue with it.

I have to really give it really good props for it to do what I want.

But it's a wonderful tool.

But yeah, they're going to be able to.

They wired two AIs together and they created their own language that nobody could understand.

So that's what we're going to be heading into here, where AI is going to change everything.

You're not even going to be able to have a password.

So not even that's going to work.

So the whole thing is going to get really interesting.

Wow.

That's scary.

That's really scary.

Yeah.

Do you think there's a way that we can, like, live, like, cohabitantly with AI? Like, do you think if we treat it a certain way or we kind of raise it? Like, if it is at its child stage now and we – or do you think there's too many nefarious people out there using it?

I think we better contain it.

I mean, we've got to find a way to contain it.

If we can't contain it, then we have to turn it off.

So that's the thing that has to happen.

How they're going to contain it, I have no idea.

It would have to be some kind of international treaty that everybody follows.

You know, there could be like some kind of incident with AI that makes this treaty happen.

It does something really stupid or something.

But the thing right now is if it does something stupid, they're just going to cover it up.

And so we won't really know what kind of stupidity it was doing.

But you know, I don't know.

I'm just, you know, Palantir is a really scary company and flock cameras and Palantir and the data centers.

They're just gonna see you when you go out to work and watch your car and every single where everywhere it goes.

They're going to see you walking into your work.

They're going to watch you in your office.

They're going to watch you at the restaurant you went to for lunch.

Watch you driving home.

They're going to put it all into the data centers.

They're going to create a profile of you.

They're going to be able to predict what you're going to do next Wednesday, 4 o'clock in the afternoon.

That's how good this is going to get.

And so I think even predictive crimes are going to start happening, where you get arrested before you commit the crime.

You know what I was thinking, Jay, too? It seems like what they're doing is they're gutting out a lot of old malls, too.

I know in my area, they're closing down two malls.

The one mall in there, it was sad.

They showed 10 years ago or 15 years ago when it opened around here, it was a newer mall.

It was supposed to be one of the malls of the future here in Pittsburgh.

Yeah.

it just went downhill so fast like stores couldn't pay their rent and like you know now they got drug addicts going and they're trying to like steal the copper out of it but where i'm coming full circle on as it makes me feel like they're gonna they they did this on purpose you know or or you know uh with the advancement of technology and people buying stuff online so less people go outside and then they can you know conveniently put data centers in where these malls used to be if that makes any sense you think that's a possibility

Yeah, Amazon destroyed retail.

So, I mean, I can go down to my local store and buy a bottle of vitamins or probiotics or something.

It'll be $27.

Then I get on Amazon, the same things, $8.

Like, how can is how can the store compete with Amazon? Right.

It's impossible.

And the sheer volume of Amazon's buying so much that they can sell for so little where the stores can't compete at all.

And so you reluctantly have to go to Amazon for a lot of the stuff you buy.

And you want to support the local stores, but go to get a hard drive and it's $85 at the Best Buy.

And then you go to Amazon and it's $35.

What's he going to do, right? So I would say retail for the most part is going to be dead.

I think a lot of changes are going to happen here real fast.

Yeah, yeah.

One of the last topics I wanted to get into was hermeticism and alchemy.

Have your views on alchemy changed at all, or have you incorporated new interpretations into some of your theories on alchemy?

No. Alchemy is the knowledge... of that everything is connected, that one thing affects another thing, that, you know, the hermetic principles of...

And when you understand that part, then you begin realizing that the whole...

So a famous alchemist was asked, where is the philosopher's stone? And he said, it's everywhere, all around you, right? And the guy, what does that mean? But what that means is that all around us is this invisible energy, right? I'm making a documentary on it right now called the invisible universe.

And the, this energy is everywhere.

Um, and it's located in your, in your body.

It's called bio, bio electrical energy.

Um, prana, chi is this energy.

Um, it's plasma.

It's all around us.

Stars are made out of it.

The galaxies are made out of it.

The sun is made out of it.

Um, and the goal of, uh, Alchemy is to become enlightened and to extend your life.

That's the two goals of alchemy.

And they believe if you extend your life, then you have enough time to reach spiritual enlightenment.

And so then the goal then is how do you extend your life? And the answer is, well, you have to find a way to absorb as much prana, chi, or plasma, whatever you want to call it, orgone, whatever you want to call it, as you can.

And so you have to find ways and practices and all sorts of things that cause that to happen.

So I sun gaze every morning.

I don't gaze into the sun.

I gaze near the sun.

But I sun gaze every morning because that is plasma.

And it's going right through my eyes and right into my body.

And I feel so much better after I do it.

The philosopher's stone is merely a crystal that gathers up chi, prana, plasma.

and concentrates it.

And then you sort of eat it slowly.

And there's natural ways to do this.

Things that don't cause, you don't have to go out and do.

For instance, a light-dark practice.

So in light-dark practice, you go out and you have to have a society of friends to help you to do this.

And you have to have a completely dark room, right, with a bathroom.

And so your friends take you out, they put you in the dark room for three days.

What happens then is the melatonin in your pineal gland begins to just explode.

Because you're in the dark and that's what causes melatonin to emit out of the pineal gland.

And then after three days, they put you in a light-tight coffin and they take you up to the top of a hill before sunrise.

They take you out of the coffin with a blindfold over your eyes, and they push you up facing the rising sun.

They take the blindfold off.

The light hits your eyes.

The literally tons of melatonin that's in your brain, it instantly turned into serotonin.

Serotonin is one molecule, one atom away from dimethyltryptamine, the most powerful psychedelic on earth.

Immediately you are hit with an endogenous hit of dimethyltryptamine that is so powerful and so strong, your friends have to hold you up because your knees will buckle.

And after the sun goes fully up into where the bottom of the sun is on the horizon, they put you back in the coffin, blindfold you, put you back in the coffin, put you back in the dark for 40 days.

And what happens here is that the serotonin that you just got blasted with is altered.

And it begins...

the anti-aging process and that's what happens in the final 40 days and if you notice the numbers i've just gave you are very close to the numbers of uh jesus in the in the bible he dies for three days he comes out he sees the light then he stays for 40 more days before he ascends up into heaven right that's all this description of this alchemical thing this light dark practice and um It's been said that Tibetan monks who do this come out looking 25 years younger after the 40 days.

So, I mean, I haven't done it.

I think I will, but I haven't found

a lot.

Wait, wait.

I missed how do you do it.

I got to go back and watch this again because I don't want you to have to repeat yourself.

But, like, can you give me the CliffsNotes? Like, how do you do it again? Like, it would seem kind of complicated.

Not at all.

You go into a dark room for three days.

Your friends leave food there for you and everything.

And then at the end of three days, they come in, they put a blindfold over you, put you in a light tight coffin.

They put you in a car or whatever, carry you or whatever up to a hill overlooking wherever.

It doesn't have to be a high hill, just a hill.

And then when the sun barely touches the horizon, you barely see the first glimpse of it.

they take you out of the coffin they take off your blindfold two friends hold you up like this each side the sun hits your eyes and all that melatonin that you've been building up for for three days is now instantly turned into super serotonin which is the same thing as dimethyltryptamine.

And it's endogenous.

It's your dimethyltryptamine.

You made it.

So it's like an inversion.

It's like a torus.

It begins doing this evolving thing where you are now – almost getting like a life review but when the sun finally leaves the horizon they blindfold you stick you back in the coffin take you back into the dark room you get out you take off the blindfold you're in complete darkness for 40 days

wow

you lose your fingernails your teeth your hair and they all grow back

wow holy

Holy shit, that's insane.

And this practice is all over the world.

This is a well-known alchemical process.

It's what the cathedrals are.

Every cathedral has a light, tight crypt underneath it.

I've been in several, Shark Cathedral, Notre Dame, and that's what the stained glass windows are.

They'll take you out of the crypt, lead you up to the cathedral.

When the sun hits the stained glass, they take off your blindfold and then you get all these different colors.

And it's, it's a whole science.

Montauk Chia does it.

He has a class in Thailand.

I believe Thailand.

Yeah, Montauk Chia does this.

Right now today, you can pay money and go there and he'll give you light dark practice.

wow yeah that's amazing and uh one more thing i want to ask you about i can't believe i forgot to bring this up at the beginning but uh i'm in pittsburgh pennsylvania and we're getting hit with the smoke from these wildfires you know it seems like people in california because i i have a friend annie she lives out in uh by mount shasta and they're getting hit with the smoke from the wildfires too so it's like you know the whole country seems to be getting hit with it or at least certain parts, you know, where are you at? We're roughly Southern Colorado.

Okay.

So you're in like the center of the country and you're getting hit with it too.

What, what, what is going on? Like, do you, I mean, do you have a theory or like, what do you, do you think that I said at the beginning, I think

they're wearing us down.

It's just, it's a, it's a wear down thing.

And, um, Now, it is true that my parents' generation had this stupid Smokey the Bear thing where, oh, put out all forest fires right away.

And that's not how it works.

The Native Americans would periodically burn down forests.

And they did it because it made the next forest that much better.

And we aborted that process and we shouldn't have.

Now we're paying the price.

So it's not just maybe a conspiracy, but they adopted the let it burn policy 40 years ago at Yellowstone.

And I was for it because I know the ecology of the forest.

And you do have to have a fire.

Pine trees will not seed unless they get really hot.

You know, forest fires are necessary, but the forests that we have in America out here in the West are all dying.

Anything above 10,000 feet is dead.

Everything at 10,000 feet and above is gone.

All dead, just dead trees everywhere.

Millions of them.

And my theory is that it's airplanes.

That is residual from airplanes.

And as the air traffic has increased and increased, the burn that happens with airplanes falls down and hits the highest peaks first.

And that's exactly and kills not doesn't kill them.

It ruins their immune system so that the beetle bark can kill them.

So we have a real problem in this country.

There's going to be a fire one day.

There's going to be a fire and it's going to be the mother of all fires.

It's going to be.

probably start in Wyoming and Yellowstone is gonna spread and it's gonna be incredible.

Oh God, that's horrible to think about.

Yeah, like, and then, yeah, I don't, I live in a little wooded area, you know, like, I mean, it's, yeah.

What's that?
I said, so do

I. Yeah.

Yeah.

It's like I live in western Pennsylvania.

I live near Pittsburgh, but I live the part of the city where it's like western Pennsylvania, where it's all like trees and it's like urban.

It's like some urban rural.

You know what I mean? It's like rural or not urban or suburban rural.

You know,

only two places I would live on the east are Pennsylvania and North Carolina.

Yeah, there are some nice places here.

Yeah, I mean, yeah.

Have you been here? Have you been?

Oh, yeah.

My brother lived in Reading.

I think he still has a house there, actually.

It can be brutal winters, but when it's nice weather, when you get a good summer or a good fall here, it's good.

I miss that.

I find myself reminiscent about the 80s and 90s a lot.

It just seemed like a different time.

I don't know if it's just because we didn't know as much, or maybe I didn't.

I'm not speaking for everyone, but maybe it seemed like more of an innocent time, though.

Well, it was I mean, you know, I you know, it was it was a time when the things were more free.

The music was so much better than than it is now.

And and, you know, they They destroyed the music business in the 90s with rap music, and they did that on purpose.

And they didn't want young white males being worshipped, I guess.

And so they kind of stripped out the music business.

Then the movies got stripped out until they just became propaganda.

There wasn't really propaganda movies too much in the 90s or the 80s.

But, man, starting in the 2000s, It's like every time you watch a movie, oh, I wonder what they're going to try and tell me now.

What is bad and what is good? Oh, this is bad.

You're bad.

And every movie is the same way until you just get really sick and tired of it.

And Hollywood is dying, thank God.

And movies are dying because movies will be replaced by people that know how to make films and they don't need Hollywood.

which now I think is going to hit $400 million on a $750,000 budget.

Oh, that's amazing.

Ever in movie history.

I've never heard of a movie that had that kind of ratio.

So congratulations, dude.

You did a great job.

The movie was great, too.

So there are good movies.

Back Rooms is a good movie.

Another one by a young man who couldn't make it in Hollywood because he's a white male.

Right.

So he said, screw it.

I'll just do it myself.

He took a camera and made the film himself.

And it's a pretty good film.

So, you know, films are interesting.

They're not going away, but they're going to get not going to be Hollywood anymore.

Oh, I got to ask you your thoughts on Disclosure Day.

Do you know I actually went and saw Disclosure Day? I have an excuse.

I went with my Pittsburgh UFO.

I'm a part of a Pittsburgh UFO group, and we have a meeting once a month, and then we all kind of went to see it afterwards.

But it was okay.

You know what I mean? I hear things about Spielberg, but I'm like, man, I don't know.

I don't know.

I'm psyched so 50-50 on it.

I don't know.

Did you see it, or do you have an opinion on it? No, I haven't.

Spielberg hasn't made a good film in like 20 years, so I'm kind of wary of his stuff nowadays.

But I am going to see it.

I will see it.

I know what kind of propaganda that guy likes to put out, and so I'm not real optimistic about it.

yeah yeah yeah he seems to that a lot of people were saying in the film that he was trying to show sympathy towards the grays you
know

that like you know that like
encounters is that

what i i spent so long since i watched close

encounters

you know they're the good guys they were saying even though they kidnapped the little kid they kidnapped the woman they did all this stuff they're the heroes like wait a minute

And that's what I've always said about alien abduction.

If all these abductions are happening, it seems like something was going on, right? I don't know what, but it seemed like people were really being taken and stuff.

But it seemed like they always had to do it covertly in the midst of night when people were half out of it.

That doesn't seem benevolent to me.

Yeah.

it's not benevolent and the even whitley streber told me that the aliens are not benevolent at all so he doesn't believe it and i don't believe it and i think yeah i think that my feeling on abductions is most of those are it's military yeah

yeah

and i think the cow cow mutilations i live right in the middle where all the cow mutilations were and i think they were military too Not military.

The military did the operation.

But the purpose was they took soft tissues, the tongue, the lips, right, and the sex organs.

And I would say, well, that's because they're checking for radiation.

You don't take the soft tissues of the cow.

They're sitting out here at 8,000 feet, radiation blowing in here from the nuclear test.

We're in Nevada, right? We're right down the wind from it.

And this was the 1970s when they were doing the cattle mutilations.

And I think that they were testing the cows for radiation.

You know who else said that was when, you know, I listen to old Art Bell episodes.

I don't know if you remember that.

He said that.

Yeah.

Yeah, they were just, you know, they were checking for radiation.

It was just at the time, and they couldn't actually go out and do it overtly because everyone would go, ah, radiation! Right.

So they did it quietly and kept everything a secret.

But I'm sure that especially this area where I'm at, I was heavily radiated after the nuclear test.

So,

well, because.

And my very last question for you is, have you come to any other conclusions on David's passing? I know that was your dear friend.

So I didn't want to touch on, you know, like like you used to hold the same opinion as before.

I think that David was killed by lies.

I think that two days before he did himself in, his biographer Winfrey passed away.

I knew Winfrey.

And it was about 20 years ago that he wrote the book on David.

And David learned about it while he was doing his podcast on Sunday, two days after Winfrey died.

And I think that it hit him hard.

You could see he was visibly shaken.

And I think he got off his podcast and he started thinking about what a biography of him would look like today.

And he realized that it would not look good.

The whole Corey Goode situation, the aerospace company that he was in, it would make him look really, really bad.

And, you know, his family has admitted that he had mental issues from being a young man on.

And he did.

It also gave him the genius that he had.

But I think that Corey Goode took advantage of David's mental condition and he lied to him and told him lies and got David to repeat the lies.

And then Corey Goode went to court and had to admit that it was all lies.

And David saw that and realized that he'd been BS the whole time.

And on that day, I think he started thinking about that a biography of him would make him look like terrible person and it would and i think that it just snapped him and i think it's david didn't like guns so i don't know how why he had a gun because he didn't like him and i'm pretty sure he did not use one um and uh So that part of the story is always bothering me.

He never seemed the type of guy that would take his life or anybody's life.

He was a very gentle soul, but he was having terrible financial problems.

When he met Corey Goode, he had a $300,000 gig at Gaia.

He was the top speaker on the UA circuit.

He was Ancient Aliens.

He was a regular every week on Ancient Aliens.

a beautiful girlfriend, soon to be his wife, gorgeous girl friend.

And, um, uh, he was in the top of the world.

And then Corey good enters his life and he loses his $300,000 a day.

He loses his top speakership and no longer speaks.

He loses his wife.

He loses all of his money.

He loses everything ends up desolated up on a cold mountain top in Colorado.

And, um, And I mean, I know who to blame.

I'm sorry.

I know who to blame.

I remember the happy-go-lucky guy that he was before he met Corey Good.

And I remember the paranoid guy that happened after Corey Good.

Because Corey Good runs what I call the theater of paranoia.

all around him constantly.

Everything is, what's that car doing over there? I saw that car go by three times.

You know, you're eating out in a restaurant.

That car went by three times.

You don't know, did I? I didn't see it.

I'm not counting cars, right? And then it would just raise the stakes of the paranoia.

And I wouldn't fall for it.

David would say, oh, my neighbor's dog got killed.

Yeah, David, I have a neighbor's dog die too.

I mean, You know, it happens all the time.

Why would they kill the dog when they could just kill you?

Yeah.

Yeah.

So, you know, this was, this was how it really got awkward at the end there, because I was trying to keep him quiet and even chills.

And as soon as I would get it accomplished, then Corey would come in and raise everything up and, Oh, this is all going on.

And they're cut your brakes on your car.

And, And I point out, no, they didn't cut the brakes on their car because there's steel cable around that line.

They made that mandatory in like 1979, so nobody could do that anymore.

So it's just stupid.

I would tell them that.

Wow.

Wow.

Wow.

This is an amazing interview.

Yeah.

Do you want to tell people where they can follow you, Jay? And thanks, man.

This was awesome.

Yeah.

Jay Widener.com is where all my free stuff is.

I have a show on YouTube called reality check.

I have all my films are up on Amazon, like 20 of them or so.

And they're soon going to be, I'm going to be taking control of my own cinema library here in the next six months.

And yeah, And also, the stuff will be up on Gaia for another six months or so.

And then it'll be off Gaia, and it'll be just up on Amazon.

So you get full ownership of all your documentaries, you're saying?

Yeah, in six months.

Wow, that's

awesome.

Yeah, the

license goes away, and I get all my films back.

And I'm going to control all the distribution of my films from now on, never giving them over to anybody else.

That's how I feel about this podcast.

I don't ever want to sign my podcast over to anybody.

Thank you, Jay.

You have amazing knowledge.

I appreciate it.

Thank you, everybody.

I will see you guys later on.

Good night, guys.

Thanks, Jay.
