The episode begins with Art expressing his affection for his studio, which he has recently fine-tuned to his liking. He shares an amusing story about his love for a specific atomic clock that he first saw at Radio France International. This clock, now a cherished item in his studio, symbolizes his attention to detail and passion for his workspace.
Art then recounts a personal mishap involving his titanium-framed glasses, which unexpectedly broke. This incident led to a humorous situation where he ended up with mismatched lenses from different pairs of glasses, affecting his ability to read on air.
Furthermore, Art briefly mentions the previous night’s guest, Dr. Greer, and his wife Emily, highlighting Dr. Greer’s exhausting travel schedule. This aside provides insight into the lives of his guests and the behind-the-scenes aspects of the show.
The discussion shifts to a technical announcement about Canada now being able to call into the show’s hotline, reflecting the show’s expanding reach and listener engagement. Art also expresses gratitude to Sirius XM for enhancing the sound quality of the show, a testament to his dedication to delivering a high-quality listening experience.
Finally, Art talks about the unusual haze in the desert, sparking curiosity about its origin and potential environmental concerns. He concludes this segment by introducing a new way for listeners to welcome him back to radio, inspired by an email suggestion: saying “Roswell” as a greeting.
Art reports on the trajectory of rockets in Beirut carrying sarin gas, which implicates the government rather than the rebels. This is followed by a tragic update on a bus crash in Canada, causing multiple fatalities and injuries. Art also mentions the situation in Egypt, where ousted president Morsi is allowed to communicate with his family, and the ongoing natural disasters in Mexico, highlighting the severity of the hurricanes impacting the region.
Shifting focus, Art introduces the evening’s guest, Dr. Jonathan Reed. He describes Dr. Reed as a contactee, author, and lecturer with international acclaim, whose personal alien encounter story is both controversial and compelling. Art notes that Dr. Reed’s case has garnered significant attention worldwide, featured in various media outlets and publications.
Before delving into Dr. Reed’s story, Art enthusiastically promotes a Bluetooth audio device called “The Ally,” emphasizing its high-quality sound and portability. He passionately endorses this product, illustrating his interest in technological gadgets.
Art beginS his interview with Dr. Reed. He sets the stage for what promises to be an extraordinary account of alien contact, acknowledging the skepticism surrounding such claims. Art invites Dr. Reed to share his story, starting from a hiking trip with his dog in Seattle, Washington, on August 15, 1996.
Dr. Reed describes a routine hike with his dog, Susie, near Snoqualmie Pass, about 60 miles east of Seattle. This area, known for its scenic beauty and wildlife, sets the stage for what turns into an extraordinary event.
During the hike, Susie, an obedient and lively golden retriever, suddenly runs off, barking in a way that suggests she has encountered something unusual. Dr. Reed, sensing her distress, quickens his pace to find her. He describes the dense underbrush and heavy tree canopy of the area, painting a vivid picture of the Pacific Northwest’s lush environment.
As Dr. Reed approaches the area where Susie’s barks are coming from, he prepares himself, expecting to find her tangled with a wild animal. However, upon reaching the location, he is startled to see Susie engaged with a small, dark, humanoid figure. Dr. Reed initially perceives this figure as a child-sized being, but notes its bizarre, rapid vibration, making it difficult to discern its exact outline.
This fast-paced and intense encounter leaves Dr. Reed in shock. The situation escalates as he observes his dog apparently biting the being’s arm. Dr. Reed yells for Susie to let go, but then realizes the gravity of the situation. He explains how in moments of extreme stress, time seems to slow down, making it challenging to accurately convey the rapid succession of events.
The situation escalates tragically when he realizes that it is not Susie attacking the mysterious being, but rather the being’s arm has somehow extended and is engulfing his dog. In a horrific turn of events, Susie is gruesomely torn apart, leaving Dr. Reed in shock.
Dr. Reed describes the creature stopping momentarily, looking at him with large, dark eyes before turning back to Susie. He witnesses his dog’s body imploding into what he describes as a vacuuming effect, leaving nothing but a pile of ash. In a desperate attempt to save his dog and out of sheer panic, Dr. Reed strikes the creature with a branch he had picked up earlier, intending to use it for defense against wild animals. The creature screams as it is hit, and Dr. Reed, overwhelmed with emotions, also screams.
The narrative takes a more personal turn as Dr. Reed reflects on his bond with Susie, underscoring the emotional impact of the loss. Art Bell, the host, empathizes with him, acknowledging the profound connection people have with their pets.
As the story progresses, Dr. Reed describes how, after striking the creature, it collapses with a breached skull, confirming its physical solidity. He then directs listeners to Art Bell’s website for photographs of the creature, which he had taken using 35mm film, emphasizing the authenticity and pre-digital nature of the images.
Art Bell interjects, noting the clarity of the photographs, particularly of an object referred to as the “obelisk,” which has not yet been discussed in detail. Dr. Reed explains that the quality of the images varies and that he had taken several rolls of film at the time of the incident.
Dr. Reed describes a sudden onset of intense physical illness after the encounter, leaving him incapacitated on the ground, further adding to the dramatic and unsettling nature of his experience. He describes lying on the ground, incapacitated by a crippling sickness for about two and a half hours, next to what he believed to be the dead body of the creature. Reed speculates that his physical symptoms, which he compares to radiation poisoning, were a direct result of the impact when he struck the creature with a branch.
As he attempts to crawl away from the body, Reed hears a low, harmonic tone in the forest. Initially hoping it might be another hiker with a radio, he slowly makes his way towards the sound, experiencing waves of nausea and loss of bodily control. This sound, he notes, has a tactile quality, almost “scratching” at his ears.
Eventually, Reed stumbles upon a large, black, diamond-shaped object, which he estimates to be about nine and a half feet long. He describes this object as hovering a couple of feet above the ground and anchored to the air, defying gravity. When he inadvertently touches it, the sound it emits changes, becoming momentarily more pleasant, though the object itself is cold like dry ice, causing skin damage upon contact.
Reed refers to this object as the “obelisk” due to its resemblance to the top of the Washington Monument. He emphasizes the strangeness of the object, noting its lack of windows, seams, landing gear, or antenna. It is just a black, hovering entity.
Art Bell interjects, directing listeners to his website where they can view pictures of this “obelisk.” Reed’s story then takes a pause as the show goes to a break.
Continuing his intense recounting on “Dark Matter,” Dr. Jonathan Reed details the excruciating aftermath of his encounter. He describes being in a state of shock and severe physical distress, lying on the ground near the mysterious object, which he refers to as an “obelisk.” Reed speculates that his sickness might be related to his proximity to the object or the area’s unusual properties.
Struggling to make sense of the surreal situation, Reed reflects on the object’s bizarre characteristics. He notes that it was not floating but seemed anchored to the air, stationary and immovable, even when he crashed into it. The object emitted a humming sound that changed when he touched it, suggesting some form of interaction or response.
Reed then describes a moment of near-hallucinatory confusion, where he felt as if he were inside the object, and it was assessing him, perhaps mistaking him for the creature he had encountered earlier. He admits that this is speculation based on years of reflection, as his immediate thoughts were consumed by the struggle to survive.
Acknowledging his body’s shock, Reed’s focus shifts to survival. He crawls back to his pack to hydrate himself, emphasizing the importance of carrying essentials during hikes. Amidst this turmoil, he finds his camera in the pack and decides to take photos of the scene, partly driven by a desperate hope that the nightmare he is experiencing is an illusion.
He recalls crawling back to the black, floating shape, trying to clear the brush underneath it to emphasize that it wasn’t touching the ground. Reed describes a strange resistance in the air beneath the object, likening it to the sensation of pushing something through water.
He takes photographs of the body and the object, focusing intently on the task as a way to cling to some semblance of normalcy amidst the chaos. Reed notes that he also recorded video footage, but his condition was still dire, as evident from his hyperventilating and vomiting during filming.
Art Bell, the host, acknowledges having seen the photographs and negatives, remarking on their clarity. He mentions that the photographs were so clear that they sparked skepticism and controversy among viewers. Reed and Bell discuss the possibility of the “obelisk” being something other than a spacecraft, perhaps a portal or a tool of some sort, given its size and properties.
Reed reflects on the aftermath of going public with his story on Bell’s program, leading to numerous speaking engagements and interactions with people worldwide who have reported seeing similar objects. He admits that his scientific background and lack of interest in science fiction made the experience all the more jarring, as it challenged his understanding of reality.
Art Bell underscores the uniqueness of Reed’s case, noting that while many people claim to have similar experiences, few have tangible evidence to support their stories. Reed acknowledges this, pointing out that his lack of prior belief or interest in such phenomena made the experience particularly unsettling and transformative for him.
Dr. Jonathan Reed continues recounting his extraordinary encounter. After photographing the object and the creature’s body, he focuses on preserving the body from potential animal interference. Reed describes his state of shock and fear but decides to cover the body with a thermal blanket he had in his pack. This action, he notes, provides him with some mental relief as it allows him to avoid looking at the creature.
Reed initially considers surrounding the body with rocks or branches to protect it, but finds it challenging due to the lack of suitable materials in the area. Eventually, he decides to wrap the body in the thermal blanket, describing it as a “burrito,” and secure it with straps from his pack to move it.
During this process, Reed is surprised to discover that the body is remarkably light, weighing around 50 pounds despite being the size of a 12-year-old child. This unexpected lightness adds to the surreal nature of his experience.
Reed then plans to find a more secure location to place the body, balancing it against his pack as he moves. He notes the time and the approaching darkness, realizing the urgency of leaving the area to return to his jeep. His focus shifts to exiting the forest before nightfall, emphasizing the practical concerns and physical exhaustion he faces after the harrowing events.
Upon reaching his jeep, Reed experiences a moment of realization and sadness when he notices the absence of his dog, Susie. He reflects on the surreal nature of the situation, feeling disconnected from reality. Reed also addresses a listener’s question about the warmth of the creature’s body, clarifying that it felt like dead weight and was at room temperature.
As Reed drives home, he is still overwhelmed by the experience, needing to stop frequently due to sickness. He describes the ordeal as a struggle for survival and an attempt to return to some semblance of normalcy.
He initially considers going to a ranger station for help but finds it closed. Driving home in a numb state, he realizes the absence of his dog, Susie, heightening his sense of loss and confusion.
Once home, Reed is overwhelmed with the need to hide the creature’s body. He decides to place it in his garage freezer, describing it as a practical way to preserve the body and keep it out of sight. This decision reflects his desperate attempt to cope with the bizarre and traumatic events he has experienced.
Reed then spends a long time in the shower, fully clothed, trying to process what has happened. Despite his attempts to rationalize the events as a traumatic reaction to the loss of his dog, he is aware that something extraordinary and unexplainable has occurred. This internal conflict between seeking a logical explanation and confronting the inexplicable nature of the encounter is a recurring theme in his narrative.
Art Bell, the host, encourages listeners to view the photographs associated with Reed’s story, which are available on the show’s website. These photographs, including images of the creature and the obelisk, add to the intrigue of Reed’s account.
The segment concludes with Reed in a state of partial denial, comforting himself with the thought that what he has stored in the freezer might be his dog, Susie, rather than the mysterious creature. This self-deception highlights his struggle to reconcile his scientific background with an experience that defies logical explanation.
Dr. Jonathan Reed describes returning home, still grappling with disbelief over the events. He initially convinces himself that what he wrapped in the thermal blanket and placed in the freezer was his dog, Susie, but upon checking, he realizes it is the body of the mysterious creature. The creature emits a pungent odor resembling rotting fruit, further unsettling Reed.
Seeking support, Reed calls his friends, including his girlfriend and his best friend, Gary. When Gary arrives, Reed shares his extraordinary story, but Gary is initially skeptical, thinking Reed might have suffered a concussion. To convince him, Reed takes Gary to the garage, shows him the creature in the freezer, and plays the videotape he recorded in the forest. Gary is shocked and speechless upon seeing the evidence.
After some time and a fair amount of scotch, Gary comes to believe that the creature is extraterrestrial or a biological entity created by someone. Reed, however, is reluctant to accept this explanation due to his scientific background and skepticism about such phenomena. Gary suggests they should share this discovery with others, but Reed is hesitant, fearing the consequences and not wanting to attract unwanted attention to his house.
Dr. Jonathan Reed recounts seeking help after his encounter. Initially convincing himself that he had wrapped up his dog, Susie, he soon realizes it’s the creature’s body. Despite a strong, unpleasant odor from the body, he places it back in the freezer.
Reed calls several friends for support, including his girlfriend and a close friend, Gary. Initially, Gary is skeptical but becomes a believer after seeing the creature. They discuss informing others about the discovery, but Reed is hesitant, fearing legal issues and public scrutiny.
They make a list of potential contacts, including colleagues from the University of Washington, and start reaching out. However, they notice strange sounds on the phone, suggesting their calls might be intercepted. After contacting MUFON (Mutual UFO Network) and other organizations, they find that many are unresponsive or believe it to be a prank.
Reed and Gary eventually meet with individuals claiming to be from MUFON, to whom they hand over photos, negatives, and other evidence. However, the contact information given by these individuals turns out to be false, leading Reed to suspect that his calls were intercepted and that he had been duped.
Adding to the mystery, three individuals dressed in black, resembling the “Men in Black” from UFO lore, visit Reed, speaking in a manner that he describes as almost hypnotic. This encounter adds another layer of intrigue and fear to his experience.
Dr. Jonathan Reed describes the unsettling visit from three mysterious individuals, dressed in black, who come to his house two days after the incident. They calmly inform him that they know about his discovery and subtly threaten him, implying dire consequences if he doesn’t comply with their demands. These individuals suggest they have connections with the police, as a police car is parked nearby when they leave.
Feeling threatened, Reed and his friend Gary decide to send some of the remaining evidence out of the country for safekeeping. They fear a break-in or theft given the apparent interest from these ominous figures.
Reed then arranges for an orthopedic surgeon, a colleague from the university, to come and examine the body. However, the surgeon never shows up, later indicating that he has been intimidated and cannot be involved.
The story becomes increasingly complex with these developments, depicting a scenario where Reed feels isolated and under surveillance, with even his phone conversations seemingly monitored. Reed is frustrated and angry, feeling let down by friends and colleagues who are either unwilling or unable to help due to outside pressure.
At one point, Reed and Gary name the alien “Freddie,” an attempt to cope with the bizarre situation through humor. Reed, however, is conflicted about this, feeling a sense of guilt and responsibility for the creature’s death.
Dr. Jonathan Reed describes a shocking turn of events when he discovers that the creature he believed to be dead is actually alive. He hears a strange noise coming from the freezer where he stored the creature’s body. Upon opening the freezer, the creature emerges, screaming, startling Reed and prompting him to run back into the house in fear.
Reed calls his friend Gary to witness the creature’s apparent revival. Gary, initially skeptical, is convinced when he too sees the creature alive and screaming. Both men, terrified, leave the freezer and the garage open, hoping the creature would leave. Reed speculates that the creature’s survival in the freezer might be due to its biological adaptability to extreme cold, akin to certain Earth creatures that thrive in sub-zero temperatures.
Reed captures video evidence of the creature, which, upon closer inspection years later, shows subtle movements and blinking, indicating it was alive during previous examinations. Despite the fear and threat posed by the creature, it seems to prefer staying in the freezer, as Reed later finds it inside with the lid closed.
The story takes another turn as Reed discusses the harassment and danger faced by himself and his associates due to the publicity surrounding his discovery. He mentions three witnesses who can attest to his experience: Robert Raith, a writer; Dr. Harold (last name not given); and Dan McEvoy. Reed explains that after nine days of intense scrutiny and threats, he decides to leave the United States for Canada to protect his friends and family from further harassment.
Two days after the incident, mysterious individuals arrive at his home, subtly threatening him and his associates if he doesn’t comply with their demands. These events lead Reed to believe that his phone conversations are being intercepted.
Feeling overwhelmed and isolated, Reed contemplates suicide but decides to reach out to a contact given to him by a group he refers to as “the alliance.” This group offers him support and helps him regain his health after a year of hardship, including homelessness.
Reed then contacts Robert Raith, a freelance writer, to document his story. Raith spends over a year with Reed, chronicling his experiences in a book titled “Link: An Extraterrestrial Odyssey.” Additionally, Reed mentions Dan McEvoy, a UFO researcher and army ranger, who also corroborates Reed’s story and aids in his investigation.
The story takes a turn when Reed opens the freezer and discovers the creature is still alive, emitting strange sounds. Despite its prolonged stay in the freezer, the creature remains animate, challenging Reed’s understanding of its biology. He speculates that the creature’s alien nature might allow it to survive in extreme cold.
Art Bell plans to bring in witnesses like Robert Raith to corroborate Reed’s account. Reed explains that these witnesses have seen evidence and the creature itself, supporting his extraordinary claims.
During this time, Reed frequently checks on the creature in the freezer, which appears to become familiar with him, no longer screaming but making chirpy, squeaky sounds. Reed communicates with the creature, experiencing what he believes to be telepathic connections, where the creature shares vivid images from Reed’s life.
The story takes another dramatic turn on the ninth day. Reed returns home to find his house ransacked, with men removing items, including the freezer containing the creature. Although the house is destroyed, Reed notices small, frosty footprints leading to a wall, suggesting the creature might have escaped.
Robert Raith, the freelance writer Reed contacted to document his story, joins the conversation. Raith confirms that he has seen Freddy and has been to the site of Reed’s initial encounter. He recounts his first meeting with Reed and describes him as being in a distressed state, exhibiting signs of severe PTSD. Raith helped Reed document his experiences in the book “Link: An Extraterrestrial Odyssey.”
Raith explains that he saw Freddy on multiple occasions, verifying Reed’s claims about the creature’s existence. He also mentions that Dr. Harold Chacon, an immunologist, conducted tests on blood samples from Freddy, finding similarities to sea turtles and dolphins.
Reed then describes how his house was ransacked by unknown individuals who took the freezer, along with other items. However, Freddy was not in the freezer; instead, he appeared to Reed in his home about a month later, seemingly healed.
Reed reveals that he set up two lie detector tests himself, which he passed, adding credibility to his story. He also discusses a mysterious device, referred to as the “Link artifact,” which he found near the body of the creature in the forest. According to Reed, this device functions as a communication and teleportation tool.
Art Bell mentions his intention to bring Dr. Harold Ciccone onto the show, as Ciccone had conducted tests on tissue and blood samples from the creature. Reed explains that Ciccone’s tests revealed the creature had 46 chromosomes, like humans, but nine pairs were non-human, resembling sea turtles and dolphins.
Reed describes how he developed a peculiar relationship with Freddy, who stopped screaming and began making chirpy sounds, almost communicating with Reed. He believes the creature was telepathically sharing images from his life. Despite being stored in the freezer, Freddy seemed to be healing and even managed to leave the freezer by itself.
Dan McEvoy, a UFO research investigator and an army ranger, joins the conversation. He describes how he first heard Dr. Jonathan Reed on Art Bell’s show and was intrigued enough to attend a convention where Reed was presenting his book and story. McEvoy confirms that he has met and interacted with Reed and the creature named “Freddy.”
McEvoy recounts a specific incident where Reed used the “Link artifact,” a device he found near Freddy. According to McEvoy, when Reed put the artifact on his wrist, it clamped down, and Reed appeared to teleport, disappearing and then reappearing a short time later. McEvoy relates this to the vibrating motion he had heard described by Reed, suggesting an interdimensional aspect to the artifact’s function.
McEvoy also mentions the controversy this case has caused within UFO research communities like MUFON and the J. Allen Hynek group. He highlights that despite the significant interest and controversy, they have never profited financially from sharing the story, often giving away books for free.
Art Bell thanks McEvoy for his service as an army ranger and acknowledges his current health challenges, appreciating McEvoy’s effort to join the show despite not being fully healthy.
Dr. Reed then adds to the conversation, expressing his gratitude to McEvoy and others who have supported him. He mentions that nine people have lost their lives while supporting his research and story, emphasizing the sacrifices made by those who believed in him.
In this segment of “Dark Matter,” callers join the conversation, asking Dr. Jonathan Reed about his experiences with the alien creature named Freddy. Reed explains that Freddy was a genetically engineered worker, akin to a biological probe, designed to explore environments like Earth. He mentions that Freddy’s job was related to studying the geology of the area where he was found.
Reed shares a recording of the sounds made by Freddy, which he describes as chirpy and squeaky. He interprets these sounds as a form of communication, noting that Freddy’s behavior changes based on his mood and the situation.
A caller inquires about DNA samples taken from Freddy. Reed confirms that blood and tissue samples were analyzed, but many of the results have been suppressed or disappeared. He mentions the tragic deaths of two biologists who worked on analyzing these samples, adding a layer of mystery and danger to the story.
Reed also addresses questions about Freddy’s origins, suggesting that the creature might be from the Orion or Andromeda areas of the sky. He explains that Freddy communicated this information through imagery and maps of constellations, not through spoken words.
Another caller asks if Freddy’s attack on Reed’s dog was a reflexive reaction and whether Freddy used organic or inorganic technology in the encounter. Reed speculates that Freddy’s actions were likely a mix of instinctual behavior and the use of technology embedded within him.
He believes that Freddy’s encounter with his dog was a defensive reaction and that the technology in Freddy’s suit, which enveloped Reed’s dog, was a protective mechanism.
Reed explains that Freddy communicated through telepathy and revealed that he was a genetically engineered worker, akin to a biological probe designed for tasks like studying the geology of Earth. He describes Freddy as curious, sensitive, and possessing a limited knowledge base but capable of feelings.
A caller asks about the origin of Freddy and his purpose on Earth. Reed responds that Freddy and others like him are caretakers of life on Earth, suggesting that Earth is a melting pot of life observed and tended to by extraterrestrial beings. He speculates that humans might also be part of a group placed on Earth for observation and care.
Discussing the Link artifact, Reed describes a teleportation experience he had while wearing it. He mentions being transported to a large, oval-shaped room where he encountered another entity, which he describes as angelic or god-like. This entity communicated with Reed telepathically, emphasizing the importance of all life in the universe and the need for harmony.
Reed describes Freddy as a genetically engineered biological probe designed for tasks like studying Earth’s geology. He also suggests that Freddy’s confrontation with his dog was a defensive reaction, and the black suit Freddy wore was part of a defense mechanism.
Reed shares his belief that extraterrestrial beings, including Freddy, are caretakers of life on Earth, and humans are part of a group being observed and nurtured. He describes a profound experience with a light being, whom he refers to as an “elder,” during his teleportation using the Link artifact. This being communicated the importance of all life in the universe and the need for humans to find harmony and love.
A caller asks if Reed would undo his experience if he could. Initially, Reed says he had a great life before the encounter and would have undone it. However, over the years, his perspective changed, and he values the knowledge and understanding he gained from the experience. He mentions being sought out by scientific groups and universities worldwide and even being invited by the Vatican to discuss his experiences.
Reed also answers questions about Freddy’s physical appearance, describing him as wearing a black suit similar to spandex, covering his entire body, hands, and feet. The suit was seamless, and through examination, Reed found that Freddy had three fingers.
Reed discusses the unique characteristics of Freddy’s suit, which he describes as self-healing. When Reed tried to cut the suit with an X-Acto knife, the suit repaired itself. He links this technology to similar materials later announced by NASA, suggesting extraterrestrial origins for such advancements.
Reed expands on the concept of harmony, frequency, and energy, drawing parallels between these scientific concepts and the foundational teachings of various world religions. He emphasizes the importance of finding balance and harmony in life, as conveyed to him by the “elders” or light beings during his encounters.
Callers inquire about practical aspects of Freddy’s existence, such as whether he consumed food or left any refuse. Reed confirms that the only thing he observed Freddy consuming was water, and he never left any biological waste.
Another caller asks about the physical condition of Freddy, particularly regarding any brain damage or scarring from his injuries. Reed notes that while Freddy has a scar on his head, reminiscent of a human scar, he does not show signs of brain damage. Freddy’s movements are described as fluid and graceful, with an ability to move in and out of the freezer effortlessly.
Reed speculates that the freezer environment may have been conducive to healing for Freddy, although Freddy never explicitly communicated this need.
He describes his communication with Freddy, likening it to a massive information download, overwhelming his mental capacity. Reed explains that he had to ask Freddy to slow down the communication to avoid intense migraines.
Callers inquire about the Link artifact’s properties, specifically its healing capabilities. Reed reveals that when others attempted to use the artifact, they experienced severe illness or death. He suggests that the artifact is being used for communication and is part of a larger message about life and the need for humans to evolve and extend themselves to other life forms.
Reed shares his belief that the encounters with extraterrestrial beings are part of a broader narrative about life and its mysteries. He feels a responsibility to share what he knows, emphasizing that his experiences have changed his life for the better.
A caller draws parallels between Reed’s experiences and those of a neurologist who had a near-death experience. Reed agrees, suggesting that such experiences are common worldwide and highlight the preciousness and complexity of life.
Reed also shares his own near-death experience, affirming his belief in the immortality of the soul and the continuation of life beyond physical existence. He advocates for a return to the basics of life, cherishing and experiencing it fully, free from political and economic motivations.
In this segment of “Dark Matter,” Dr. Jonathan Reed responds to more questions from callers and discusses the broader implications of his experiences.
