Thomas Lombardo and Greg Moffitt in conversation.

In a universe portrayed in the modern age as being utterly devoid of meaning and purpose, emotion is often regarded as little more than human weakness. There is a widely held view that emotion should certainly play no part in major decisions and actions, be they politics, business, science, or war. But what if emotion were actually one of the fundamental features of consciousness itself, guiding its evolution?
Against a background of the overall origin and nature of consciousness, we ask: What if it is in fact impossible for emotion – and its partner motivation – to be separated from thinking and reason? What if they are essentially two sides of the same coin? Science is driving the development of the technologies which will most affect our future: renewable energy, food production, employment, medicine, finance, surveillance, and international security. And yet it is a falsehood that science – or anything else in the realm of human affairs – can somehow operate independently from human emotion and motivation. If this is understood and integrated, we have a better chance of a future less motivated by greed, power, hatred and revenge.

Hi Greg, as I commented on YouTube, this was a brilliantly insightful and intelligent conversation between you and Tom. After 49 minutes, you mention an author or researcher who makes 13-hour YouTube videos about the Pleiadians, the Galactic Council, Indigo Children, etc. I can’t remember this person’s name either but I think I know who you mean. Anyway, you mention that it’s strange that this “stew” of ideas satisfies people because it doesn’t bear any real connection with their lived reality and experience. As soon as you said that, I thought, “That’s exactly why they ARE so obsessed by it!” I agree with Tom’s subsequent point about people being attracted to those who confirm their beliefs rather than challenge them, but this didn’t address your observation, so I’ll have a go: It occurs to me that people are attracted to this stuff precisely because it is wholly outside the humdrum of their everyday existence. To put it simply, it’s just escapism. These New Age snake-oil salespeople have over many years built up the alien disclosure subculture into a huge space opera, just like George Lucas’ movie called ‘Star Wars’ turned into a trilogy with its own prequel trilogy, then a trilogy of trilogies, spin-off movies, TV series and an ‘expanded universe’ of increasingly complex lore. Ditto ‘Star Trek’. Once these ‘light-worker’ grifters find out what people like, they just give them more and more of it. I can’t help think that the Galactic Council is just an extended riff of nonsense based on the last episode of ‘The Tomorrow People’. It would be funny, and in some ways it is, but what a waste of time and energy, believing that you don’t need to sort your own life out because, as Thomas Sheridan might say in one of his hilarious satires of this stuff, don’t worry – the Nicotine Starchild will come down and save us!
