Who Sees ET? Ignorant Disembodied VS Embodied Exoconscious Humans
Now You See ET—Now You Don’t
American Alchemy Donald Hoffman “Your Brain Evolved To Ignore Aliens – They’re Everywhere!”
VS
Exoconsciousness: Your Consciousness Evolved Awareness of Aliens. We’ve always Known They’re Everywhere!
In American Alchemy, with Jesse Michels [https://youtu.be/6bqaHVSlVeU?si=1vzZOe1uzW0oJH5M]’ interview, published June 1, 2026, computational psychologist Donald Hoffman is widely quoted as implying that our “Brain Evolved to Ignore Aliens.” Hoffman earned his PhD in Computational Psychology from MIT, is a professor emeritus, and has been on the faculty of the University of California, Irvine since 1983.
In this Substack, I examine Hoffman’s theory of the human brain's inability to perceive aliens from the following perspectives:
· Hoffman’s Brain Centric Contact Theory
· Subjective Exoconsciousness: Hard Question of Consciousness
· Gnosticism and Disembodied Beings
· Plasma Science and the Human Plasma Body
· Transhumanism Use of Disembodied on Blockchain
· Disembodied as ET, UAP
Hoffman’s Interview on American Alchemy: “Your Brain Evolved To Ignore Aliens – They’re Everywhere!”
Michel’s offered a summary of his lengthy interview with Hoffman on X: [https://x.com/AmericanALCHMY/status/2061615557548396636?s=20]
MIT scientist says aliens are likely all around us! We just can’t see them...
Donald Hoffman says the mathematics indicate embodied consciousness like ours is a rare exception in the universe.
The universe should be teeming with intelligence more advanced than humans, operating without traditional bodies.
Hoffman calls our human form one of the cheapest, most restrictive “virtual reality headsets” in existence.
The default state of consciousness, according to the math, has no body at all.
“Embodiment is very, very small.”
“The universe would be teeming with life that is more advanced than humans and also doesn’t have traditional bodies.”
“Our particular kind of view of the world, the kind of, I’ll call it a headset, the virtual reality headset that we’re using for our embodiment, is one of the more trivial kinds of headsets.”
“Our headset is one of the cheapest, most restrictive possible.”
“There are all sorts of variations that are far more interesting and complicated than what we’ve got.”
“Embodiment is the exception, not the rule.”
Human Brain Blind to ET
Hoffman’s computational psychology is brain-based—it’s where the research money trees live. Government-funded brain initiatives began in the 2000 Bush Administration, but were overshadowed by the Genome project's success. Then, in 2013, Obama launched his Brain Initiative, [https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/node/300741/] which developed dynamic maps of the human brain that show how individual cells and complex neural circuits interact in real-time.
Brain initiatives were an expensive undertaking that left much to mystery and open questions. So far, the brain remains a mystery—despite scientific declarations of its capacities.
“We know the brain.” No, you don’t. According to the National Institutes of Health [https://www.nih.gov/news-events/nih-research-matters/study-reveals-unseen-details-human-brain-structure], we have mapped the broad regions of the brain in detail, but we have mapped the microscopic wiring of only a tiny fraction (less than 0.0001%) of it.
So the human brain has MUCH MORE to show. Even for computational psychologists like Hoffman.
But wisely, Hoffman creates a pivot by using math as the basis of his brain theory. What brain mapping fails to describe—Hoffman’s math reveals.
Having worked with Apollo astronaut Dr. Edgar Mitchell, I quickly learned that math is the language of science. Create a mathematical formula, and your science peers will listen. Mitchell’s The Quantum Hologram And the Nature of Consciousness [https://cosmology.com/Consciousness149.html] drew on the mathematics of Walter Shempp, who shifted the paper from a philosophical discussion of consciousness to a proposed mathematical model of information processing. In Mitchell’s framework, Walter Schempp provided mathematical formalism that connected quantum mechanics, holography, information storage, and biological systems. Math worked for Mitchell.
Yet, for Hoffman, a substantial mathematical model cannot account for or replace the lack of definitive brain research.
Human Consciousness Aware of ET
Exoconsciousness: Your Natural Consciousness Evolved Awareness of Aliens
While Hoffman places his theory of human awareness of the extraterrestrial presence in the Brain, which he deems unlikely to see aliens that are all around us, Exoconsciousness places ET awareness in human consciousness.
Exoconsciousness is the innate ability of humans to consciously connect, communicate, and co-create with extraterrestrials, multidimensionals, and spiritual beings. The Exoconsciousness perspective is sourced in natural human consciousness and lived, subjective experience. It is the opposite of Hoffman’s computational, mathematical, brain-centric perspective.
Fortunately for Contactees and Experiencers, the definitions of consciousness continue to proliferate. According to the Consciousness Atlas [https://www.consciousnessatlas.com/], there are more than 325 theories of consciousness, based on Robert Lawrence Kuhn’s 2024 paper, “A Landscape of Consciousness” [https://doi.org/10.1016/j.pbiomolbio.2023.12.003].
Furthermore, David Chalmers’ “hard problem” of consciousness [https://youtu.be/C5DfnIjZPGw?si=GqDr5sWuiVclKDqG] has yet to be definitively solved. Despite over 30 years of discussion and research, scientists and philosophers have yet to determine why and how physical processes in the brain give rise to subjective experience—the inner “whir” and the feeling of “what it is like” to see a color, feel pain, taste chocolate, or smell a rose.
Instead of collapsing the scientific discussion into a mathematical formula, Exoconsciousness opens it to explore the hard problem of how subjective anomalous experiences of extraterrestrials can be mapped onto physical experiences in the brain through consciousness beyond the brain.
Exoconsciousness explores how the subjective exoconscious experience integrates with the human brain, body, spirit, and the field of consciousness. A rose is a rose. An ET is an ET.
Gnosticism and Disembodied Beings
“Our particular kind of view of the world, the kind of, I’ll call it a headset, the virtual reality headset that we’re using for our embodiment, is one of the more trivial kinds of headsets.”
“Our headset is one of the cheapest, most restrictive possible.” Hoffman on American Alchemy.
The elevation of disembodiment over the human embodied form is not new. Gnosticism from the first century pronounced disembodiment as the ultimate spiritual goal.
Gnostics viewed the material universe as a dark and oppressive prison created by a flawed, lesser deity. Embodied humans lived in this oppressive realm—trapped in their flawed flesh.
Salvation was achieved not through physical resurrection (Christianity), but by awakening the divine soul/spirit within and escaping the physical body to return to the spiritual realm.
Hoffman’s arguments qualify him as a modern-day Gnostic, echoing disdain for the embodied flesh and admiration of disembodied consciousness. I wonder how Hoffman’s body—regarded by many spiritual people as a beloved temple— integrates his disregard for his “meat suit.” As a computational psychologist, I find Hoffman’s view of the human brain's evolution particularly meaningful.
In many respects, Gnosticism, whether ancient or modern, represents a psychological avoidant personality—longing to leave their body to avoid all of the issues of being human. However, reality and our bodies don’t care how much we long to avoid being human—they call us back to Earth again and again through pain, suffering, joy, love, and imagination.
At its core, Gnosticism is about light and darkness—a duality that every human lives.
According to theologian Elaine Pagels, author of The Gnostic Gospels [https://amzn.to/4dLFDTu], there is a light within each person, and it lights up the whole universe. If it does not shine, there is darkness. [https://www.azquotes.com/quote/1463868]
Plasma Science and the Human Plasma Light Body
Plasma Science moves us from a Chemical to an Electromagnetic perspective of Humans
Can You Feel Your CHARGE? As a plasma being—of course you can.
Plasma Science may be the most important science most of us were never taught!
And the Most Relevant Science to Extraterrestrial Presence!
Over 99% of the visible universe is plasma, a state of matter consisting of electrically charged gas made up of freely moving electrons and positive ions. Unlike normal gases, plasma can conduct electricity and react strongly to magnetic and electric fields.
The ancient philosophers and theologians identified plasma as “the Aether.” Curiously, it was removed from modern science over 400 years ago. But today it is regaining scientific relevance. Plasma behaves collectively and intelligently, forming filaments, spheres, lattices, and self-organizing structures. This science opens our Mind and our being to Possibilities in our biological body as well as the universe.
Plasma Science offers us a path forward through the physical, mental, spiritual, and emotional changes we are experiencing within ourselves and our universe. Furthermore, it engages our perspectives on extraterrestrial, multidimensional, and spiritual contact.
Why? Because the universe and our human body are Plasma. Humans are not composed of atoms—but also possess the state of plasma.
We are an Exoconscious Electric People
In the chapter “Electric People” in A New Science of Heaven [https://amzn.to/4ugf4dP], Robert Temple proposes that human beings are fundamentally electromagnetic organisms whose biology depends not only on chemistry but also on intricate flows of electron, ion, and proton currents (“proticity”). He presents the body as an electrically active system in which semiconductive tissues, magnetic fields, and possible superconductive processes may play important roles in consciousness, communication, and health.
Temple views humans as dynamic bioelectrical entities embedded in a larger plasma universe. Our bodies are deeply shaped by fields, currents, and energetic interactions beyond conventional biochemical models.
Yes, Donald Hoffman—we are both embodied and disembodied.
We Possess Darkness and Light. And as cited by Gnostics and most religions—humans can feel their light body.
Human Light Body: Biophotons: You Can Feel Your Light Body?
Temple’s chapter, “How Our Bodies Emit Light,” focuses on biophotons—ultraweak light emissions produced by living tissues. He explores research suggesting that cells, DNA, and physiological systems emit and respond to light as part of biological regulation, diagnosis, and intercellular communication. He interprets these emissions as evidence that life is not merely chemical but also photonic and plasma-based, linking light, energy, and consciousness in the body.
Again, to Donald Hoffman—Our Bodies naturally evolved to live in both Light and Darkness, to be Embodied and Disembodied, flowing through various states of being.

AI and Transhumanism’s Use of Disembodied on Blockchain: Digital Twin
Along with brain research, artificial intelligence is another fertile field of government-funded research. Thus, AI money is often connected to brain money.
AI and Transhumanism are designed and engineered around disembodied beings. Have you heard of an Agentic AI or an AI Agent?
Agentic AI is an autonomous artificial intelligence system capable of moving beyond answering your endless prompts. Instead, it plans, remembers, and acts independently on your behalf—without your supervision.
Agentic AI are also called autonomous disembodied workers. This disembodied worker has its own decentralized digital identity (DID) and crypto wallet, powered by Large Language Models (LLMs) to operate independently on blockchain networks.
In plain language, a disembodied AI is a bot that can act independently, without human supervision.
Decentralized Autonomous Organizations
But humans are also factored into the Disembodied research.
I first became aware of disembodied agents as humans when corporate personnel departments were renamed “human resources.” Humans became a “resource” (like minerals, water, crops, or energy), and the disembodied worker came into being. As disembodied, humans could be mined, metered, monitored, and monetized—just like natural resources.
Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAO) came into being. In these corporate organizations humans are the bot—they function under a smart contract that outlines their usefulness in legal terms. Their governance is on a blockchain, and they are paid in cryptocurrency.
DAOs have no issues with loyalty (don’t complete your smart contracts and you’re gone), interpersonal relationships (an impersonal blockchain is your community), or inequality or pensions (everyone is paid via crypto on an open system).
Disembodied Digital Twin
DAO’s are also the Transhuman model to engineer your Digital Twin.
Twenty years ago, Alok R. Chaturvedi at Purdue University founded the Sentient World Simulation beginning the creation of a Digital Twin that probably now encompases most humans. You are more than you. You are a disembodied digital twin.
Purdue University [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purdue_University]'s Synthetic Environment for Analysis and Simulations, or SEAS, sometimes referred to and reported on as Sentient World Simulation, is currently being used by the US Department of Homeland Security [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Department_of_Homeland_Security] and the US Department of Defense [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Department_of_Defense] to simulate crises on the US mainland.[1] [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synthetic_Environment_for_Analysis_and_Simulations#cite_note-register-1] SEAS "enables researchers and organizations to try out their models or techniques in a publicly known, realistically detailed environment."[2] [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synthetic_Environment_for_Analysis_and_Simulations#cite_note-SEAS-2] It "is now capable of running real-time simulations for up to 62 nations, including Iraq, Afghanistan, and China. Wikipedia [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synthetic_Environment_for_Analysis_and_Simulations]
Your digital twin houses your behavior, likes and dislikes, education, medical records, finances, and religious affiliation—to name a few. In the future, your disembodied twin will be consulted on medical issues by your physician—your input will be unnecessary. You will be fully digitalized.
And the financial future for your disembodied digital disembodiment will be bright to those who sell its data.
An AI Transhuman reality favors the Disembodied—Even the ET Disembodied.
Disembodied as ET, UAP
Hoffman’s math-based computational psychology favors the global agenda of the National Security (Department of War) oversight of UAP and extraterrestrial threats.
Ufology—once an independent, curious, adventuresome field—with the December, 2017 NYT article Glowing Auras and Black Money: The Pentagon’s Mysterious UFO Program [https://www.nytimes.com/2017/12/16/us/politics/pentagon-program-ufo-harry-reid.html], quickly collapsed into an online/conference culture fueled by entertainers, influencers, and tattooed, muscled whistleblowers with insider Disclosure information.
Ufology was disembodied by intelligence, military, government, and national security. Gutted of critical thinking, reason, and independence, Disclosure thrived with audiences craving the next programmed threat or intel insight. It feels good to follow the disembodied, with a powerful emotional component. “See, I was right,” or “Disclosure makes me feel right and vindicated,” sidelined the Exoconscious Human who values natural conscious contact, communication, and co-creation with extraterrestrial, multidimensional, and spiritual beings.
Disembodied beings played a central role in Disclosure. ETs as Disembodied could easily be morphed into whatever threat or scare tactic needed to control humans. They could be blips on a radar. They could be a perfect ET cover story for human-engineered black budget craft, or human hybrid genetic engineering programs, or blips on the Golden Dome’s layered defense shield safeguarding the Homeland [https://www.lockheedmartin.com/en-us/capabilities/missile-defense/golden-dome-missile-defense.html] from ET attacks, or larger than life supernatural disembodies who are demonic, or even transitioned into the New Gnosticism of an AI religion.
Disembodied ETs are an all-purpose being in the AI Transhuman era.
Field of Unseen Disembodied Beings
As long as humans are convinced that their devolved brain cannot “see” the unseen ET disembodied beings as described by Hoffman—then math, materials and brain-centric science can define our primary human reality. We will have no say—because we will be living and employed in the Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAO) or DOA (Dead on Arrival), and our Digital Twin will become our primary default self.
But, there is another perspective—one aligned with nature, human-centered ethics, and a sacred Earth and Cosmos.
While AI and Transhumanism are preoccupied with disembodying and robotizing humans of their natural intelligence, psychic abilities, soul and spirit—Exoconsciousness charts an alternative path.
Nine Principles of Exoconsciousness
Exoconsciousness: Nine Interlocking Principles:
(1) natural human consciousness amidst brain-centric or artificial reality constructs
(2) innate psychic abilities amidst synthetic mind and body control
(3) human intelligence amidst AI and AGI
(4) individual moral sovereignty and conscience amidst algorithmic ethics
(5) spiritually ensouled humans amidst technological-genetic hybridization
(6) individual dignity amidst engineered, AI-sourced government and social structures
(7) natural law, including the laws of nature and plasma science amidst geoengineering
(8) inalienable rights amidst AI governance, tokenized economy
(9) cosmic equality and peace amidst the threat of space war
Embodied Exoconscious Choice Amid a Disembodied AI Transhuman Reality
Scientists and psychologists like Hoffman pull us into a natural human tendency to “trust the experts.”
If the COVID era taught us anything, it taught us to respect our sovereign human nature, comprised of intelligence, psychic abilities, dignity, inalienable rights, and a consciousness beyond our Brain.
As Exoconscious Humans, we live and relate to a sacred Earth and Cosmos. We see Beings. They see us. It has always been so.
Humans possess an INNATE ability to consciously connect, communicate, and co-create with extraterrestrials, multidimensionals, and spiritual beings.
Becoming an Exoconscious Human is a choice.
