Way back around 2012, Jeff Mishlove was my gateway into questioning the framework of beliefs I'd had "installed", and I have a soft spot for the man.
VALIS is on my reading list, after I complete Jacob Falconer's "The Others Within". As part of my "coachelling" practice I use "parts" work, ie sub-personalities, and having come across several in my own inner landscape, I've also encountered "legacy burdens" - family/lineage related parts that turn out to be clients' ancestors. Which places experiences of myself, and of others I've spoken to on entheogens as "contact technologies", into a broader context.
One last thing, on matters of lineage...more a broader point of culture/collective. I've delved into Peter Kingsley's works, who has researched Carl Jung, and a Greek mystery tradition synonymous with the like of Parmenides. Although not strictly "UAP", the theme of consciousness is relevant, and there are wise souls who have made deep forays into the territory we are now moving into. Worth exploring Peter's talk on "Primordial Meditation".
"In the Dark Places of Wisdom" might be a good place to start, an earlier work, and "Reality", which really gets into the meat-and-marrow of the roots of Western Civilisation.
That said, "Catafalque" might be an "all inclusive with buffet" for Kingsley. A couple of friends have read it, both highly recommend.
From where we're at right now, collectively, and for getting up to speed on where Kingley's coming from, maybe chewing through Catafalque is the place to start for you, as it's his latest offering.
When you mentioned the book I immediately downloaded the Audible version and listened to it in a few days. I'm not sure what I heard, and I think I need to listen to it a few more times. It really twisted my mind into a pretzel. Yikes!
It’s a tough read - can only imagine that audio isn’t any easier … but if you listen to that Metz speech (in the context of everything we’re learning about the world/universe) he says some quite profound things about the nature of reality

Thanks, Rich. I love Jung and haven’t come across Kingsley … which book would you recommend for starters? Catafalque looks pretty amazing at a glance

You’re the second person in a week to recommend it. The first was Jeffrey Kripal in “Authors of the Impossible”. Guess I have to now.
Jeff is the man … and he’s a good friend too. His book on PKD and other intuitives ‘Mutants and Mystics’ is a really good read
