The Aetherius Society: UFOs as a Religion

On this episode of The Skeptic Metaphysicians, we dive into the intriguing world of the Aetherius Society, a spiritual organization founded in the mid-1950s by Dr. George King.

This society combines elements of Eastern philosophy, Western mysticism, and teachings about cosmic beings to promote humanity's spiritual growth.

We are joined by Paul Nugent, a director of the society, who provides fascinating insights into the society’s belief in extraterrestrial beings, their mission to serve humanity, and his personal experiences with Dr. King.

Our discussion touches on cosmic consciousness, the law of karma, and the role of these cosmic beings in offering spiritual guidance.

This episode allows us to explore these profound ideas that contribute to a deeper understanding of human existence and spiritual awakening.
