    Authors Spotlight with Cale Lewis

    During this mini episode we turn the Authors Spotlight onto Cale Lewis and his book “Red Pill in the Universal Matrix: How Owls, Synchronicities, UFOs, and Matrix Glitches Turned a Skeptic into a Simulation Believer”. For most of his life, the author believed only in the cold, hard facts of science, dismissing anything supernatural as mere fantasy. But everything changed when strange synchronicities, inexplicable UFO sightings, and the eerie presence of owls began to disrupt his reality. In this deeply personal journey, follow the transformation of a once-staunch atheist into a believer in the Simulation Theory — the idea that Earth is not what it seems. As the author decodes hidden messages from the universe, you'll experience UFO’s, supernatural events, and mystical signs that all point to one startling conclusion: we may all be living in a virtual reality. With warmth, humour, and gripping authenticity, Red Pill in the Universal Matrix invites you to question the very nature of your existence. Are these experiences random, or is something greater at play? Get ready to open your mind and discover what happens when the boundaries of science and spirituality blur. ***During the interview Sarah calls the author Cal, but his name is Cale.*** Discussion Points: Why we should read his book Atheist into a believer Synchronicity Support from his father in the form of an owl Orbs, UFO’s and other UAP’s in the sky Being a safe place for others to share their experiences with the supernatural Artificial Intelligence Explosions of light Mentioned on this episode of Book Interrupted: Book Interrupted Website Book Interrupted YouTube Channel Book Interrupted Facebook Book Club Group Red Pill in the Universal Matrix by Cale Lewis Imminent: Inside the Pentagon's Hunt for UFOs by Luis Elizondo

  5. Authors Spotlight with Lukas Klessig

    27 JANV.

    Authors Spotlight with Lukas Klessig

    During this mini episode we turn the Authors Spotlight onto Lukas Klessig and his book “Words With My Father: A Bipolar Journey Through Turbulent Times”. Words With My Father offers a gripping portrait of the evolution of a young man's mental illness and how it manifested into a dramatic and often dangerous existence through the turbulence of the Civil Rights, Peace and Conservation movements. Lowell Klessig's posthumously-released story, infused with reflections by his son Lukas, provides an intimate window into one man's life in flux with bipolar disorder. As the author narrates a postwar upbringing and describes the manic-depressive travails of developing his identity, he offers us a view into the turmoil of the times - and of his mind. Through mania- and danger-filled months fighting for Civil Rights, protesting the Vietnam War and furthering the Conservation Movement, we see the purpose that sustained him. Through darkened panes, we witness the isolation and malaise of depressive winters that nearly took his life. This masterful chronicle allows us to peer into a restless and kinetic existence in one moment and a chasm of fatigue and hopelessness on the next page. It's an account that will change your perspective. It's a bipolar journey that you won't ever forget. Discussion Points: Why we should read their book A different kind a mental health memoir How the book is presented Lukas’s fathers last wish Past stigma about mental health Civil rights movement Vietnam war and environmental activism Reach out to Lukas at lukas@wordswithmyfather.com Mentioned on this episode of Book Interrupted: Book Interrupted Website Book Interrupted YouTube Channel Book Interrupted Facebook Book Club Group Lukas’s website: Words With My Father Words With My Father: A Bipolar Journey Through Turbulent Times by Lukas Klessig and Lowell Klessig Audio Book
