  A Bluebird in the Asylum | Spirit Science PT. 11

  Aug 10, 202657 min

  On April 5, 1950, the CIA approved Project Bluebird, a program to use drugs, hypnosis, and the polygraph to reprogram the human mind, and thirty-four days later L. Ron Hubbard published Dianetics. This episode traces the unsettling parallels between Hubbard's "auditing," the E-Meter, and the Agency's own reprogramming experiments, following the thread through Naval intelligence officer Joseph "Snake" Thompson, St. Elizabeths Hospital superintendents William Alanson White and Winfred Overholser, "Wild" Bill Donovan's OSS "Truth Drug Committee," and the private psychiatric world of Chestnut Lodge that quietly fed recruits to Bluebird, Artichoke, and MK-Ultra. Was Scientology the invention of a lone narcissistic genius, or something built from the same blueprint the intelligence community used to crack open the human mind?

  Catechism of the Uranids | Spirit Science PT. 10

  Aug 4, 202643 min

  Born into Transylvanian poverty and dismissed by Heidelberg as "too fantastical," Hermann Oberth derived the fuel and weight calculations that made spaceflight possible and taught a young Wernher von Braun, the student who would build the V2 rocket and be swept into Operation Paperclip. Yet the father of rocketry openly rejected scientific materialism, attending séances, claiming contact with his dead brother through mediums, and insisting a psychic named Barbara Troll relayed to him the teachings of an alien race he called the Uranids. If one of the architects of the Space Age believed his knowledge came from the dead and from beings beyond the stars, was he a crank the establishment was right to mock, or a visionary they never understood?

  The Deaf Prophet of Kaluga | Spirit Science PT. 9

  Jul 27, 202644 min

  Deaf, expelled, and self-taught in Kaluga, Konstantin Tsiolkovsky derived the rocket equation that still bears his name while insisting his real teachers were telepathic "ethereal beings" of "thinner matter." His cosmology — a mystic philosophy called Russian Cosmism, inherited from librarian Nikolai Fedorov — held that humanity's destiny was to leave the cradle of Earth, colonize the galaxy, and ascend toward a universal consciousness. If the man who wrote the equation that made spaceflight possible believed it was handed to him from beyond, was he an eccentric genius, or a prophet who saw something the rest of us refuse to?

  The Collins Elite Were Right | Bonus Episode

  Jul 21, 20261h 3m

  In 1991, Nebraska clergyman Ray Boeche met two DoD physicists who claimed the government was contacting non-human entities through occult ritual — and that a secretive Christian faction, the Collins Elite, had decided the "aliens" were demons in disguise. From Nick Redfern's Final Events to Jack Parsons, Aleister Crowley's Lam, and modern whistleblowers like Luis Elizondo, we ask whether the group ever existed — and why it might not matter if they were right anyway.

  Snake in the Parsonage | Spirit Science PT. 8

  Jul 13, 202652 min

  When L. Ron Hubbard — future founder of Scientology — turned up destitute at Jack Parsons' Pasadena mansion in 1945, Aleister Crowley himself warned by telegram that Parsons was an "obvious victim" of "prowling swindlers." Hubbard proceeded to seduce Parsons' partner Sara Northrup, abscond to Florida with $20,000 and a yacht bought on the rocket scientist's dime, then weaponize Parsons' own vulnerabilities to escape a lawsuit — a betrayal that eerily mirrors Edward Kelley's manipulation of John Dee four centuries earlier. Was the man who would build one of America's most notorious religions a genuine occultist, or just the latest Edward Kelley to find his Dee?
