171: New Life Perspectives with Liz Larson and Bill McKenna - Episode 171

Curious about how others navigate their sobriety journey? Here, the conversation shoots straight into stranger territory: aliens, UFOs, and what any of this might have to do with your nervous system and everyday life. Hosts Liz Larson and Bill McKenna from the New Life Perspectives show chat through Steven Spielberg’s film *Disclosure Day*, using it as a springboard to talk about UFO lore, abductions, channelled beings and “special abilities” described in ancient texts like Patanjali’s yoga sutras.

Rather than arguing over belief, they keep asking a bigger question: what does all this mean for your awareness, your body and your sense of reality? You’ll hear Bill’s shift from hardcore sceptic to someone who says, “Oh my God. There’s nothing on this planet that does that,” after a bizarre light streaks across the La Jolla sky.

Liz counters with her lifelong sense that a universe “absolutely teeming with life” makes more sense than a lonely planet, comparing humans to the aliens of a single tree or tomato plant. Their trademark angle is practical consciousness work. They keep coming back to the nervous system, the reticular activating system and how fear literally blocks what you can see and process.

As Liz puts it, once your body decides something is “okay”, your perception widens and you might finally notice what was there all along. That might be aliens, fairies, ghosts or just new possibilities in your own life. The tone stays playful, even when they touch on heavy ideas like abductions, genetic manipulation and whether advanced beings are “good”, “bad”, or just doing their own version of our animal testing and gardening.

If you like conversations that mix sci‑fi, spirituality, ancient texts and brain science without taking themselves too seriously, this one will keep your mind buzzing. So what might your own nervous system be editing out right now?
