Todd is joined this week by author and researcher Gary David.

David  has been intrigued by the American Southwest since his initial trip there in 1987. The following year he lived for about six months in northern New Mexico, where he studied archaeological ruins and rock art. In 1994 he moved to Arizona and began an intensive study of the ancestral Pueblo People (sometimes incorrectly referred to as the Anasazi) and their descendants the Hopi.

In 2006 after more than a decade of fieldwork and scholarly inquiry, his nonfiction book The Orion Zone: Ancient Star Cites of the American Southwest was published.

Episode 140 of My Side of the Universe featured Alan Steinfeld, author of the new book "Making Contact: Preparing for the New Realities of Extraterrestrial Existence." The book is scheduled to be released on May 4, but is available for pre-order HERE.

Steinfeld will also be a guest speaker at Contact in the Desert on June 25 through June 28. For more on guest speakers, how to join the virtual show or other questions regarding Contact in the Desert, click HERE.

Todd is joined on the show this week by Jeff Finley, who shares his personal experiences with Astral Projection.

Astral Projection is a term used in esotericism to describe a willful out-of-body experience (OBE), a supposed form of telepathy, that assumes the existence of a soul or consciousness called an "astral body" that is separate from the physical body and capable of travelling outside of it

Finley has been having intentional out of body experiences and practicing astral projection since 2013. “Ever since I had my first experience by accident, I had become obsessed with trying to recreate the experience learn all about it.”
