#55 - Matthew Roberts : Author Apr 07, 2021

Show notes

In this episode Truth talks with Matthew Roberts, author of "Initiated: UAP, Dreams, Depression, Delusions, Shadow People, Psychosis, Sleep Paralysis, and Pandemics." The two discuss Matthew's background and experiences with UFO's / UAP (unidentified aerial phenomenon) and related entities – and how this all ties into mythology, the mysteries, religion, psychology, and universal consciousness… In 2015, Matthew Roberts was a US Naval service member and Naval Intelligence Cryptologist who was stationed onboard the USS Theodore Roosevelt. The events that transpired during their 2015 workup cycle brought us the first-ever declassified UFO / UAP (the infamous "Gimbal" and "Go Fast" UFO footage) - Which was acknowledged by the Pentagon and written about in the New York Times article titled: "Glowing Auras and 'Black Money': The Pentagon's Mysterious U.F.O. Program." Subsequently, he transferred to the Office of Naval Intelligence in Washington D.C. where he began to have frequent, and often intense, personal experiences with the phenomenon and entities associated with it. He discovered through a long, painful, and terrifying journey that the truth of the phenomenon has deep and profound implications for the future of the human race. It may seem like a bold statement but the ultimate universal truth that underlies the phenomenon is captured in the simple yet eloquent words of Mark Twain, "The two most important days in your life are the day you are born, and the day you find out why."
