Dr. Mayim Bialik Jul 14, 2026 Mayim Bialik’s Breakdown Watch episodes & bonus content ad-free on https://bialikbreakdown.substack.com/ Dr. Diana Walsh Pasulka — professor of religious studies, author of The Others: UFOs, AI, and the Secret Forces Guiding Human Destiny — is here to answer one of the most controversial and fascinating questions of our time: what if many of humanity’s oldest spiritual encounters weren’t interpreted correctly at all? Dr. Pasulka breaks down:

  • Shocking similarities between alien abductions & purgatory that first pulled her into UAP research
  • Whether historical Catholic supernatural experiences would be interpreted today as UFO encounters
  • Why many researchers believe we need to radically rethink the concept of “aliens”
  • Physiology of UAP encounters and how experiencers may access altered states or different parts of the brain
  • Carl Jung’s theory that UFOs could emerge from the unconscious mind
  • Why belief in nonhuman intelligence is rapidly increasing, and why it may function as a modern religion
  • Reports throughout Catholic history describing encounters with nonhuman entities
  • Whether aerospace engineers and scientists are receiving “downloads” or ideas from nonhuman intelligence
  • Recent deaths and disappearances of scientists connected to nuclear and aerospace programs (Are they connected to UAP research?)
  • Why proof of nonhuman intelligence may NOT destroy religious belief
  • Why some people believe AI could be the antichrist, while others think resisting AI is the true danger
  • Whether governments are in a position to confirm historical religious events
  • Psychedelics, altered states, and historical encounters with nonhuman intelligence
  • Why certain people appear far more open to supernatural experiences than others
  • Hidden role sci-fi plays as a framework for understanding modern UFO phenomena
  • Real function of religion and how humanity uses belief systems to explain what science still can’t
  • Measurable physical & neurological benefits of prayer
  • Whether humanity is heading toward a religious revival, or if religion has become too politicized to recover
