Subject: Re: Esalen Response<\/p>\n
It\u2019s clear that a significant number of people in our community have responded negatively to the recent discussion about the Esalen event culture. This raises some important questions for us to consider:<\/p>\n
1) Was the use of mind-altering substances part of the experience? This question must be addressed if we hope to take any of the testimonies seriously.<\/p>\n
2) Coulthart has mentioned having clear UAP footage; this evidence needs to be made public if we are to regard these accounts with credibility.<\/p>\n
3) If credible evidence emerges, would you be open to the idea that the use of psychedelics or \u201cnew age\u201d thinking could have influenced these experiences? What type of evidence would convince you?<\/p>\n
I\u2019d love to hear your thoughts on this.<\/p>\n
Edit: For transparency, Coulthart asserts in the clip below (30:48) that he did not use drugs or alcohol during the event: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=3dFHkgRY9g0&t=1675s<\/p>\n
