Exo Studies Master Course

Exploring the psychological, sociological, and scientific implications of living in a multidimensional multiverse

September 1, 2020 – August 31, 2021

Our Galactic Context

In the last couple of years we have witnessed some extraordinary things that raise fundamental –existential, ethical, and empirical – questions about humanity’s place in the cosmos. Just to name a few highlights:

 

  • Existential: Are we Alone? The New York Times Dec 16th, 2017 announcement of the Pentagon’s multi-million dollar secret UFO Program confirmed what many have suspected for years – the US government does care about UFOs in spite of 50+ years of saying “no we are not interested!
  • Ethical: Humans as a Multiplanet Species! The billionaire race to space by private industry is heating up with Space X claiming that we will have a colony on Mars within 20 years.
  • Empirical: Reality just got a lot Bigger! The discovery of 1000s of exoplanets including the Trappist 1 system just a mere 40 light years away as well as the increasing indications that we will find microbiotic life on one of Saturn or Jupiter’s moons.

Exploring Exo Studies Together!

Join us for a 12-month online Master Course (42 weeks spred out over the year) where we will blast off into “extra-reality” together exploring in-depth the topic of galactic awareness in its many expressions. We are going to be discussing the most taboo, controversial and intriguing issues within the the emerging field of Exo Studies (e.g., types of extraterrestrials, the science of exoplanets, and humans as a multiplanet species). With integral thinking as our GPS and the top 50+ “exo” books (see below) as our ATV we are going to scour lunar landscapes in search of the truth. I can guarantee you will never look at the topics of UFOs, exoplanets, ETs, and multidimensional reality the same again!

INSTITUTE of EXO STUDIES (IES)

The Institute of Exo Studies (IES) is dedicated to a vision of humans as a peaceful multi-planet species. To accomplish this vision IES cultivates galactic awareness in humanity through three primary activities:

1.) the individual development of multi-dimensional awareness

2.) exploring the role of galactic diplomacy in an expanded definition of humanity, and

3.) developing an integrative post-disciplinary metascience capable of making sense of the wide range of evidence we have of UFOs, their occupants, and related phenomena.

Current activities of IES include online courses and in-person seminars as well as several book publishing projects which present key topics in exo studies.

The Metafield of Study

EXO STUDIES

EXO STUDIES

Exo studies is an emerging integrative metafield committed to exploring the psychological, sociological, and scientific implications of living in a multidimensional multiverse. This includes the first-person accounts of people having contact with or experiencing non-human intelligences. It also includes the exploration of the cultural meaning-making  dynamics that make this topic taboo and considers what can foster a more galactic-centric humanity. And it explores the role that the new exo-sciences and cutting edge physics have to offer our understanding of reality. So while exo studies includes what has historically fallen within UFO/ET context it goes beyond this by taking a metaview of the dynamic interplay between mind-meaning-matter often drawing on source material that traditionally hasn’t been connected to the study of UFOs/ETs.
