039 - Escaping from Eden - the extraterrestrial origin of human life with Paul Wallis

My guest today is Paul Wallis. Paul is a speaker, researcher and author of books on spirituality and mysticism. The focus of our conversation today is his most recent book Escaping from Eden in which Paul re-examines the long standing idea that extra-terrestrial life forms may have played important roles both in the original creation of humanity on this planet and in subsequent cataclysmic events, which could perhaps be regarded as resets. What makes Paul’s contribution to this field especially interesting is that he has spent 33 years in the Anglican Church, including as a church Doctor and an Archdeacon in Australia. So to have someone from such a background question or rather reinterpret the biblical creation narrative is especially intriguing. And I say reinterpret the Biblical creation narrative because it was inconsistencies in the bible translation that alerted Paul to the fact that the word that is generally translated as God actually seems to have another meaning, which makes certain passages in the Bible much more coherent. From there Paul examines other ancient texts which all point towards “creation” events involving inter-galactic visitors. So in this conversation we discuss aspects of different mythologies, contemplate why we sometimes struggle to shift out of dominant paradigms even if we have data staring us in the face, consider what it might mean if our history includes a series of near-extinction events, and generally consider the range of evidence pointing towards human - extra-terrestrial interactions. Paul also explains how these explorations have influenced his understanding of God. There is of course a lot of room for alternative interpretations when reviewing big picture historic questions so as always - don’t believe in anything, experiment, research and always use discernment.
