    Healing Self-EsteemwithDavid Hanscom

    September 19, 2022

    Dr. Hanscom contends that the concept of self-esteem is the mother of all cognitive distortions. Self-esteem is an attempt to create stories about the self that are based on judgment and ego.

    The Antinomianism of Frithjof SchuonwithCharles Upton

    July 22, 2022

    CLASSIC REBOOT: Listening to AnimalswithMiranda Alcott

    July 29, 2022

    Here she describes how each animal species has a unique culture.

    CLASSIC REBOOT: Lessons Learned From the Stargate ProgramwithEdwin C. May

    August 22, 2022

    Here he acknowledges that expectations for future successful applications in parapsychology may be too high.

    CLASSIC REBOOT: Philosophy and Postmortem SurvivalwithStephen Braude

    September 2, 2022

    July 27, 2022

    Here he describes the “decline effect” in parapsychology research as the result of a psychological “extinction paradigm”.

His research involved training ESP using an automated system, involving forced choices with feedback. Subjects were pre-screened for ESP ability. [...]

    CLASSIC REBOOT: Forbidden ArcheologywithMichael Cremo

    August 1, 2022

    CLASSIC REBOOT: The SupernaturalwithRichard Smoley

    August 26, 2022

    In this interview from 2016, he notes that many of the great spiritual teachers of the twentieth century (Blavatsky, Steiner, Gurdjieff, Jung) had teachers who remain unknown. He suggests that this reflects the desire of all these individuals to avoid the limelight of public scrutiny. While describing most channeled material as “banal”, he praises Jane [...]

    Meaning and CoincidencewithBernard Beitman

    September 26, 2022

    Bernard shares that a meaningful coincidence, synchronicity, and serendipity are a coming together of apparently unrelated events, by cause, in a surprising and unexpected way.
