8 Circuit Yoga Podcast: An Antidote to the Status Quo
Contact and the Primordial Dream Time Beings
06 Dec 2025
This video essay uses the film Contact and a personal incident as an entry way into the idea that “contact” experiences - sometimes interpreted as alien contact - can be understood as encounters with what the Aboriginal peoples call the “Dreamtime Ancestors." The essay critiques humanity’s disconnection from the sacred and proposes an "Archaic Revival," drawing on Aboriginal concepts like "The Dreaming" and "Dadirri," alongside Jungian and shamanic frameworks. The core conclusion is that true contact is not an external technological event, but an awakening of the heart achieved through the ancient practice of deep, silent listening.
