Daimon, not demon: PD Newman on how ancient Greek wisdom relates to modern UFOs

In this episode, I interview P.D. Newman, author and esotericist, about the connections between ancient magical practices, shamanic soul flight, and the UFO phenomenon, using his book, “Theurgy: Theory and Practice: The Mysteries of the Ascent to the Divine,” as a guide.

P.D. shares his personal story as a UFO experiencer, including encounters with disc-shaped objects and non-physical beings, then we discuss how these experiences led him to deepen his study of esoteric traditions.

We explore the concept of theurgy, the seven-step process for spiritual ascent described by Porphyry, and how ancient Greek and Neoplatonist ideas about the soul, heavens, and divine union might relate to modern UFO sightings and experiences.

P.D. explains how these ancient traditions viewed the physical world as a reflection of higher realms and how rituals and symbols worked independently of intellectual understanding, suggesting that modern UFO phenomena might be connected to similar transcendental realities that ancient cultures recognized.
