Spontaneous healing. UAPs. Near Death Experiences. Manifestation. Psychic phenomena. Angels. Nothing is off limits if it can be approached with curiosity and rigor. MBB started as a conversation about mental health — and quickly became something much bigger. Because the deeper you go into what it means to be human, the faster you run into questions science hasn’t fully answered yet. Hosted by neuroscientist and cultural icon Mayim Bialik and spiritual explorer Jonathan Cohen, MBB is a multi-award-winning podcast where science and spirituality meet. Together they break down the assumptions, the misperceptions, and the boundaries between disciplines — and every breakdown is a breakthrough. This is where the biggest questions get taken seriously — and where you realize you’ve never been alone in asking them. Can the mind actually heal the body? Can quantum physics explain psychic phenomena? What do Near Death Experiences reveal about the nature of consciousness and the seat of the human soul? What if the only thing separating you from your own intuition - or even God - is the assumption that it’s out of reach? And if governments are publicly acknowledging the existence…","last_synced_at":"2026-07-17T16:20:27.664994+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/mayim-bialik-s-breakdown-1365756"},"episode":{"title":"Part Two: UFOs in Religion: The Hidden Link Between Ancient “Miracles” and Modern Aliens | Dr. Diana Walsh Pasulka","slug":"part-two-ufos-in-religion-the-hidden-link-between-ancient-miracles-and-modern-aliens-dr-diana-walsh-pasulka","published_at":"2026-07-15T07:30:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/mayim-bialik-s-breakdown-1365756/part-two-ufos-in-religion-the-hidden-link-between-ancient-miracles-and-modern-aliens-dr-diana-walsh-pasulka","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/mayim-bialik-s-breakdown-1365756","url":"https://claritaspod.com/measure/pscrb.fm/rss/p/arttrk.com/p/PMMIC/prfx.byspotify.com/e/mgln.ai/e/1047/rss.art19.com/episodes/40905a50-f732-40a6-8437-52a8c8e04e25.mp3?rss_browser=BAhJIg90cmFuc2NyaWJyBjoGRVQ%3D--952c5701c84ad333c69d5faa668f8177091704f0","audio_url":"https://claritaspod.com/measure/pscrb.fm/rss/p/arttrk.com/p/PMMIC/prfx.byspotify.com/e/mgln.ai/e/1047/rss.art19.com/episodes/40905a50-f732-40a6-8437-52a8c8e04e25.mp3?rss_browser=BAhJIg90cmFuc2NyaWJyBjoGRVQ%3D--952c5701c84ad333c69d5faa668f8177091704f0","summary":"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 sys…","meta_description":"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…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":3800,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/mayim-bialik-s-breakdown-1365756/episodes/part-two-ufos-in-religion-the-hidden-link-between-ancient-miracles-and-modern-aliens-dr-diana-walsh-pasulka/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/mayim-bialik-s-breakdown-1365756/part-two-ufos-in-religion-the-hidden-link-between-ancient-miracles-and-modern-aliens-dr-diana-walsh-pasulka.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
