InPresence 0169: Community Building with Jeffrey Mishlove

New Thinking Allowed host Jeffrey Mishlove, PhD, discusses a series of initiatives in the area of community building. These include Live Stream video on YouTube — enabling viewers to interact directly with himself and guests. (One is scheduled for June 14, 2:00 pm, USA Mountain Time, with Sean McNamara, a trainer of telekinesis and clairvoyance.) Other activities include a book club, newsletter, and a searchable database of videos — that can extend well beyond the New Thinking Allowed video collection. Jeffrey also emphasizes the need for more volunteers doing video editing, music composition, copy editing, translation, and grant writing.

New Thinking Allowed host, Jeffrey Mishlove, PhD, is author of The Roots of Consciousness, Psi Development Systems, and The PK Man. Between 1986 and 2002 he hosted and co-produced the original Thinking Allowed public television series. He is the recipient of the only doctoral diploma in “parapsychology” ever awarded by an accredited university (University of California, Berkeley, 1980).

InPresence 0158 Reverse Causation

Jeffrey Mishlove describes a series of research studies in parapsychology that demonstrate causal influences from the future upon both human physiology and behavior. This work has now been widely replicated. Meta-analyses show that the combined results greatly exceed chance expectation. As is generally true of parapsychology, the studies employed rigorous methodologies.

Esoteric Geography of London with James Tunney

James Tunney, LLM, is an Irish Barrister who has lectured on legal matters throughout the world. He is a poet, a visual artist, and also author of The Mystical Accord: Sutras to Suit Our Times, Lines for Spiritual Evolution. In addition, he has written two dystopian novels — Blue Lies September, and Ireland I Don’t Recognize Who She Is. His website is http://www.jamestunney.com.

Here he takes us on a journey through London, following the path of the River Fleet (which is now completely underground). We pass through locales visited by many esoteric writers, including William Blake, Emanuel Swedenborg, Colin Wilson, Mary Shelley, H. G. Wells, Charles Forte, P. L. Travers, Eckhart Tolle, and Douglas Adams. We visit the grave of Karl Marx and the residence where Vladimir Lenin and Leon Trotsky first met. Ultimately, the journey acquaints us with the sacred power of the goddess.

InPresence 0157: Toward a New Science of Consciousness

Jeffrey Mishlove shares his excitement about new ideas for a science of consciousness developed by his former professor, Dr. Charles Tart, and presented recently in a lecture to the Parapsychological Association. One suggestion is that remote viewing could be systematically applied to the direct observation of the inner conscious experience of another individual. Another suggestion calls for the rigorous exploration of locales described by Robert Monroe, author of Journeys Out of the Body.

Telekinesis Training with Sean McNamara

Sean McNamara is author of Defy Your Limits: The Telekinesis Training Method, Meditation X Telekinesis: The Mindfulness Method of Moving Matter With Subtle Energy and Intention, Renegade Mystic: The Pursuit of Spiritual Freedom Through Consciousness Exploration, and Signal and Noise: Advanced Psychic Training for Remote Viewing, Clairvoyance, and ESP. His website is https://www.mindpossible.com/.

Here he explains how, as a meditation teacher, he came to see telekinesis (another term for psychokinesis) as a clearly visible way to demonstrate the psychic powers of the human mind. It took him many months to cultivate this ability himself; but it can often be imparted to others within a few hours. The deeper significance of telekinesis is about life empowerment.

Testing the Boundaries of Reality with Bruce Solheim

Bruce Olav Solheim, PhD, is professor of history at Citrus College in Glendora, California. He also served as a Fulbright professor in 2003 at the University of Tromsø in northern Norway. He teaches a paranormal personal history course. He is author of five books on history and political science, one novel, three plays, and three books about his personal paranormal history, Timeless: A Paranormal Personal History, Timeless Deja Vu: A Paranormal Personal History, and Timeless Trinity: An Extra-Terrestrial and Paranormal Personal History. He is also author of a new comic book series, about an alien visitor to earth, called SNARC. His website is http://www.bruceolavsolheim.com/

Here he reflects upon a variety of paranormal experiences and mediumistic contacts he has experienced throughout his life. He addresses the conundrum of whether, during his “spirit walks”, he is actually communing with autonomous entities or merely talking to himself. He also goes into some detail describing a series of four potential alien contact/abduction experiences in his life – and raises the question of what it might mean to be a human-alien hybrid.

Affirmations Revisited with Darryl Robert Schoon

Darryl Robert Schoon is a financial analyst famous for having predicted the 2008 market crash. His website is www.drschoon.com. He is author of Light in a Dark Place: The Prison Years, Time of the Vulture, Report to the House Select Committee on Intelligence, Is God Confused?, and The Way to Heaven. He has also written a novel titled You Can’t Always Get What You Want. He is a minister with the Temple of Universality in Tucson, Arizona.

Here he reviews his history of working with affirmations, building upon a previous video conversation made four months earlier. He reports that, since then, he has begun once again working with affirmations. The discussion delves into the nature of thought itself. He further amplifies the distinction between the Tonal and Nagual, as described by Don Juan in the writings of Carlos Castaneda. He questions conventional thinking that values thought over emotions, and emotions over the impulses of the physical body.

New Thinking Allowed host, Jeffrey Mishlove, PhD, hosted and co-produced the original Thinking Allowed public television series. He is a past vice-president of the Association for Humanistic Psychology; and is the recipient of the Pathfinder Award from that Association for his contributions to the field of human consciousness exploration.

InPresence 0155: Subtlety

Jeffrey Mishlove explores the notion of subtlety or nuance. It is generally thought of as a hallmark of intellectual inquiry, i.e., an awareness of fine distinctions. It also refers to subliminal perceptions — as well as thoughts that are relegated to the subconscious or unconscious. Jeff suggests that, while subtle thoughts may involve very tiny shifts in attitude or in perception, the consequences can sometimes be quite dramatic and powerful.

InPresence 0154: When To Let Go (Of Attachments)

Here Jeff looks back at the previous monologue and remarks that he is filled with the significance of the insight that “we can shift our consciousness with a single thought”. Considering that we each experience 50,000 to 70,000 thoughts a day, the potential for leveraging small shifts in awareness is tremendous. However, sometimes we are so attached that a single thought is insufficient to pull us out of a particular state. This is the problem that Jeff addresses now, referencing his experiences in 1969 as a student at the University of Wisconsin, Madison.

InPresence 0153: Shift Your Consciousness With A Single Thought

Jeffrey Mishlove engages in a process of introspection about the nature of thought itself — as a result of having changed his mind, at the last minute, regarding the topic for this monologue. This resulted in the insight that one can initiate a shift in consciousness with a simple thought. Jeff proclaims this to be a very significant insight. He also indicates that he is considering the YouTube “live streaming” option.

He also reflects upon the significance of a recent article about parapsychology published in the American Psychologist.

InPresence host, Jeffrey Mishlove, PhD, is author of The Roots of Consciousness, Psi Development Systems, and The PK Man. Between 1986 and 2002 he hosted and co-produced the original Thinking Allowed public television series. He is the recipient of the only doctoral diploma in “parapsychology” ever awarded by an accredited university (University of California, Berkeley, 1980). For many years he served as president of the non-profit Intuition Network, an organization dedicated to creating a world in which all people were supported and encouraged in developing inner intuitive abilities.

Here he describes meeting Donald Fraser Keys at the Institute for the Study of Consciousness in Berkeley, California, in the early 1990s. Keys presented Jeff with a copy of his unpublished autobiography in which he describes visionary experiences of traveling in UFOs and meeting with representatives of the Galactic Council. Keys was also the founder of an organization called Planetary Citizens and was deeply involved in the esoteric culture of the Arcane School. Jeff maintains that the best way to evaluate claims such as this is by looking for empirical evidence.

InPresence 0150: Avatars Meher Baba & Adi Da Samraj

InPresence host, Jeffrey Mishlove, PhD, is author of The Roots of Consciousness, Psi Development Systems, and The PK Man. Between 1986 and 2002 he hosted and co-produced the original Thinking Allowed public television series. He is the recipient of the only doctoral diploma in “parapsychology” ever awarded by an accredited university (University of California, Berkeley, 1980). For many years he served as president of the non-profit Intuition Network, an organization dedicated to creating a world in which all people were supported and encouraged in developing inner intuitive abilities.

Jeffrey Mishlove notes that, since the advent of computer games and the movie Avatar, our understanding of the word “Avatar” has taken on new dimensions. Traditionally, it means a living incarnation of a deity. He was first exposed to the claims of divinity for Meher Baba as a college student in the 1960s. Adi Da Samraj was a more complex figure who was known as a practitioner of “crazy wisdom”.

InPresence 0149: William James and Psychical Research

InPresence host, Jeffrey Mishlove, PhD, is author of The Roots of Consciousness, Psi Development Systems, and The PK Man. Between 1986 and 2002 he hosted and co-produced the original Thinking Allowed public television series. He is the recipient of the only doctoral diploma in “parapsychology” ever awarded by an accredited university (University of California, Berkeley, 1980). For many years he served as president of the non-profit Intuition Network, an organization dedicated to creating a world in which all people were supported and encouraged in developing inner intuitive abilities.

Jeffrey Mishlove has based this monolog on a lecture he has prepared for a graduate level course on William James. He reviews James’ history with the Society for Psychical Research in England, starting in 1882. James regarded the spiritualistic hypothesis of communication between the living and the dead as worthy of and amenable to empirical testing. Toward the end of his career he came to accept the spiritualist hypothesis based on the “dramatic probability”. But, he realized that more needed to be done with regard to the accumulation of empirical data.

InPresence 0148: Chaos Magick

InPresence host, Jeffrey Mishlove, PhD, is author of The Roots of Consciousness, Psi Development Systems, and The PK Man. Between 1986 and 2002 he hosted and co-produced the original Thinking Allowed public television series. He is the recipient of the only doctoral diploma in “parapsychology” ever awarded by an accredited university (University of California, Berkeley, 1980). For many years he served as president of the non-profit Intuition Network, an organization dedicated to creating a world in which all people were supported and encouraged in developing inner intuitive abilities.

Here Jeff shares his reflections after listening to a lecture by Gary Lachman, author of Dark Star Rising, about occult influences within the alt-right supporting the election of Donald Trump. It turns out that the iconic meme of “Pepe the frog” used by Trump supporters was also, in the minds of many, akin to that of the ancient Egyptian frog deity, Kek, the god of chaos and darkness (as well as of light). Lachman maintains that some members of the alt-right deliberately invoked this image as a way of inducing synchronicities that would support the Trump victory.

InPresence 0147: Jacques Vallee and the Worldwide Web

InPresence host, Jeffrey Mishlove, PhD, is author of The Roots of Consciousness, Psi Development Systems, and The PK Man. Between 1986 and 2002 he hosted and co-produced the original Thinking Allowed public television series. He is the recipient of the only doctoral diploma in “parapsychology” ever awarded by an accredited university (University of California, Berkeley, 1980). For many years he served as president of the non-profit Intuition Network, an organization dedicated to creating a world in which all people were supported and encouraged in developing inner intuitive abilities.

Here Jeff discusses the work of Jacques Vallee, UFO researcher and computer scientist, whom he first interviewed in 1973. Vallee worked at SRI International in the 1970s and helped develop the software for ARPANET, which eventually evolved into the internet. At the same time he was engaged with the remote viewing work of Ingo Swann, Hal Puthoff, and Russell Targ at SRI. Jeff explores Vallee’s dictum that, if you want to know what will happen in the next ten years, look back at what has happened over the last fifty.

InPresence 0146: Reflections on Real Time With Bill Maher

InPresence host, Jeffrey Mishlove, PhD, is author of The Roots of Consciousness, Psi Development Systems, and The PK Man. Between 1986 and 2002 he hosted and co-produced the original Thinking Allowed public television series. He is the recipient of the only doctoral diploma in “parapsychology” ever awarded by an accredited university (University of California, Berkeley, 1980). For many years he served as president of the non-profit Intuition Network, an organization dedicated to creating a world in which all people were supported and encouraged in developing inner intuitive abilities.

Here Jeff notes that he has been a fan of Bill Maher’s television programs for several decades. He claims that the August 3, 2018, episode of Real Time was very likely the best he has ever seen. He realizes that this will be controversial because of the political content; but he urges viewers to watch the episode either on HBO or segments that are available on YouTube. He also points out that he disagrees with Bill Maher’s attitude toward the paranormal, because Maher seems to lump parapsychology together with various religious follies.

The Inversion of Our True Myths with Betty Kovacs

Betty J. Kovacs, PhD, taught symbolic/mythic language for twenty-five years. She has served as Chair of the Board of Directors of the Jung Society of Claremont, California, and sits on the Academic Advisory Board of Forever Family Foundation. Dr. Kovacs is author of Merchants of Light: The Consciousness That Is Changing the World, winner of The Scientific and Medical Network 2019 Book Prize and a Nautilus Silver Award. She has also written The Miracle of Death: There Is Nothing But Life. Her website is www.kamlak.com.

Here she maintains that, throughout the world, original myths describe our connection with an invisible world in which we partake of immortality. This is expressed in ancient cave cultures and shamanistic traditions. It can be found is esoteric culture worldwide. In particular she focuses on myths concerning the Tree of Life. She suggests that this myth was inverted by the Deuteronomists around 620 BCE and that this inversion has shaped Western culture, and caused much suffering.

InPresence 0145: Parapsychology and the Zeitgeist

InPresence host, Jeffrey Mishlove, PhD, is author of The Roots of Consciousness, Psi Development Systems, and The PK Man. Between 1986 and 2002 he hosted and co-produced the original Thinking Allowed public television series. He is the recipient of the only doctoral diploma in “parapsychology” ever awarded by an accredited university (University of California, Berkeley, 1980). For many years he served as president of the non-profit Intuition Network, an organization dedicated to creating a world in which all people were supported and encouraged in developing inner intuitive abilities.

Here Jeff shares his impressions after viewing the presidential address to the Parapsychological Association given by Dean Radin, author of Real Magic. There are several reasons for optimism. Membership in the Association is at an all-time high. The American Psychologist, flagship journal of the American Psychological Association, has just published a very favorable article summarizing the highly significant results of 1700 psi research studies published in refereed journals. Scholars from many fields of study are considering the fundamental role of consciousness in science.

InPresence 0144: Reflections on Aleister Crowley

InPresence host, Jeffrey Mishlove, PhD, is author of The Roots of Consciousness, Psi Development Systems, and The PK Man. Between 1986 and 2002 he hosted and co-produced the original Thinking Allowed public television series. He is the recipient of the only doctoral diploma in “parapsychology” ever awarded by an accredited university (University of California, Berkeley, 1980). For many years he served as president of the non-profit Intuition Network, an organization dedicated to creating a world in which all people were supported and encouraged in developing inner intuitive abilities.

Here Jeff describes the British occultist, poet, and mountaineer Aleister Crowley (1875 – 1947) as an important counter-culture influence in the 1970s. Crowley was an early forerunner of the sexual revolution and promoted the use of both sex and various drugs in the context of magickal rituals. He believed himself to be the inaugurator of a new era for humanity in which individuals would seek to align their own free will with the will of the cosmos.

Here Jeff endeavors to fulfill a commitment he made in InPresence 0131 — that is to cultivate his karaoke singing skills and, eventually, upload a new selection of songs to show that improvement is possible. The four selections include the Ella Fitzgerald version of Summertime, Sunny Afternoon by The Kinks, The Dock of the Bay by Otis Redding, and Boondocks by Little Big Town.

Between 1986 and 2002 he hosted and co-produced the original Thinking Allowed public television series.

For many years he served as president of the non-profit Intuition Network, an organization dedicated to creating a world in which all people were supported and encouraged in developing inner intuitive abilities.

Here Jeff focuses on efforts to replicate some of the unusual macro-psychokinetic phenomena that were reported in nineteenth century spiritualist seances. In England, Kenneth Batcheldor developed a method for achieving table levitations. He incorporated a seance-like atmosphnere — but with neither the solemnity of a religious service nor any spiritualist mediums. In Toronto, Canada, the local Society for Psychical Research expanded on Batcheldor’s work — by successfully creating an imaginary ghost they named Philip.

Here Jeff shares his excitement and anticipation about meeting an individual whom he has not seen in 45 years — Joanna Harcourt-Smith. When he originally met her, and interviewed her on KPFA-FM in Berkeley, California, she was known as Joanna Leary, the wife of Timothy Leary. She worked tirelessly for years to help release Timothy Leary from federal custody — even promising to go on a hunger strike. Subsquently, in 2013 her book about these experiences was published, titled Tripping the Bardo with Timothy Leary.

The Art and Science of Soul Travel with Doug Marman

Doug Marman, an Eckankar practitioner, is author of The Whole Truth: The Spiritual Legacy of Paul Twitchell; It Is What It Is: The Personal Discourses of Rumi; The Hidden Teachings of Rumi; The Silent Questions: A Spiritual Odyssey; The Spiritual Flow of Life and the Science of Catalysts; Sukhmani: The Secret of Inner Peace; and Lenses of Perception: A Surprising New Look at the Origin of Life, the Laws of Nature, and of Our Universe. His website is http://spiritualdialogues.com/

Here he describes his involvement with the Eckankar religion going back nearly 50 years. He emphasizes the importance of experience, as opposed to doctrine, with regard to the nature of soul travel. He discusses contact with teachers and guides on inner planes and describes paradoxical reversals of meaning at different levels of consciousness. He also engages in a fascinating discussion concerning the “Space Intelligences” described in Mishlove’s book, The PK Man.

InPresence 0140: The Experimenter Effect

InPresence host, Jeffrey Mishlove, PhD, is author of The Roots of Consciousness, Psi Development Systems, and The PK Man. Between 1986 and 2002 he hosted and co-produced the original Thinking Allowed public television series. He is the recipient of the only doctoral diploma in “parapsychology” ever awarded by an accredited university (University of California, Berkeley, 1980). For many years he served as president of the non-profit Intuition Network, an organization dedicated to creating a world in which all people were supported and encouraged in developing inner intuitive abilities.

Here Jeff describes three different types of experimenter effects that can, potentially, contaminate scientific studies. The first of these involves influence experimental subjects through direct statements, subtle hints, and non-verbal cues. Typically, the use of control groups and double-blind protocols protects against this. The second type of experimenter effect involves the use of Questionable Research Practices (QRPs). The third, and most serious, is the possibility of experimenter psi. The best way to protect against this possibility is to focus on the magnitude of psi in our experiments — rather than the process.

Between 1986 and 2002 he hosted and co-produced the original Thinking Allowed public television series. He is the recipient of the only doctoral diploma in “parapsychology” ever awarded by an accredited university (University of California, Berkeley, 1980). For many years he served as president of the non-profit Intuition Network, an organization dedicated to creating a world in which all people were supported and encouraged in developing inner intuitive abilities.

Here Jeff notes that he could divide his life into two phases: before and after psychedelics. Before psychedelics, growing up as a teenager in Wisconsin, he imbibed alcohol liberally. In Wisconsin, it was almost a patriotic duty to drink milk on weekdays — and beer on weekends. He also notes that he has personally witnessed or known of many tragic circumstances resulting from alcohol use and abuse. He regards 12-step programs as a positive social contributing resulting from alcohol addiction.

For many years he served as president of the non-profit Intuition Network, an organization dedicated to creating a world in which all people were supported and encouraged in developing inner intuitive abilities.

Here Jeff explains why he generally trusts mainstream media, even though he realizes that their coverage of parapsychology and consciousness exploration is often biased. He references discussions with his cousin, journalism professor, Steven V. Roberts. He also shares details of journalistic malpractice involving two individuals whom he admires — Jean Houston and Bob Woodward.

For many years he served as president of the non-profit Intuition Network, an organization dedicated to creating a world in which all people were supported and encouraged in developing inner intuitive abilities.

Here Jeff describes his experience of being libelled in 1980, as well as the six-year long legal battle that followed. Eventually Jeff emerged victorious. Nevertheless, the lawsuit took its toll. A particular difficulty for those who have been libelled is dealing with the response from former friends and supporters who distance themselves and take a “wait and see” attitude toward the situation. Jeff then points out that one of his favorite guests, Jason Reza Jorjani, is now suffering from a libel much worse than the one he endured.

Here Jeff shares his recollections regarding the use of psychedelic drugs — going back to the late 1960s. He emphasizes the importance of “set and setting” and points out that, while he experienced more than 100 psychedelic sessions, they were all in the context of philosophical inquiry and self-exploration. His stable personality was also a positive factor. He describes engaging in lengthy conversations with Hardin B. Jones, a medical physicist who denigrated psychedelic drug use.

Norman Shealy, MD, PhD, is author of Energy Medicine, Life Beyond 100, Blueprint for Holistic Healing, Sacred Healing, Miracles Do Happen, Medical Intuition, Living Bliss, Pony Wisdom for the Soul, The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Healing Remedies, Conversations with G, and many other books. He is currently 87 years old and maintains an active medical practice in Springfield, Missouri. His website is https://normshealy.com/.

Here he reviews aspects of his life’s journey that shed light on the nature of the human soul. He points out that the soul is distinct from the body, as is evidenced by his own out-of-body experiences and reincarnation memories. He describes several important instances in his life in which he and other people spontaneously and simultaneously recognized their connections from previous lifetimes. He reflects on the karmic relationships between lifetimes.

InPresence 0135: Psychokinetic Weather Modification

InPresence host, Jeffrey Mishlove, PhD, is author of The Roots of Consciousness, Psi Development Systems, and The PK Man. Between 1986 and 2002 he hosted and co-produced the original Thinking Allowed public television series. He is the recipient of the only doctoral diploma in “parapsychology” ever awarded by an accredited university (University of California, Berkeley, 1980). For many years he served as president of the non-profit Intuition Network, an organization dedicated to creating a world in which all people were supported and encouraged in developing inner intuitive abilities.

Here Jeff describes some informal tests he performed involving modification of cloud formations. He presents this in the context of his original research on “the PK man” Ted Owens. He also links to YouTube demonstrations of ostensible PK weather control by Michael Grubb. And, he shares information about a study proposed by a student of atmospheric science.

InPresence 0134: Radionics

InPresence host, Jeffrey Mishlove, PhD, is author of The Roots of Consciousness, Psi Development Systems, and The PK Man. Between 1986 and 2002 he hosted and co-produced the original Thinking Allowed public television series. He is the recipient of the only doctoral diploma in “parapsychology” ever awarded by an accredited university (University of California, Berkeley, 1980). For many years he served as president of the non-profit Intuition Network, an organization dedicated to creating a world in which all people were supported and encouraged in developing inner intuitive abilities.

Here Jeff shares some experiences after attending (and keynoting at) the 40th conference of the United States Psychotronics Association — specifically with reference to the arcane field of radionics. He characterizes it as magical rituals with technological trappings and refers to several anecdotes regarding its effectiveness. He also notes that his mentor, Arthur M. Young (inventor of the Bell Helicopter) was a radionics enthusiast.

InPresence 0133: The Sheep Goat Effect in Parapsychology

InPresence host, Jeffrey Mishlove, PhD, is author of The Roots of Consciousness, Psi Development Systems, and The PK Man. Between 1986 and 2002 he hosted and co-produced the original Thinking Allowed public television series. He is the recipient of the only doctoral diploma in “parapsychology” ever awarded by an accredited university (University of California, Berkeley, 1980). For many years he served as president of the non-profit Intuition Network, an organization dedicated to creating a world in which all people were supported and encouraged in developing inner intuitive abilities.

Here Jeff discusses one of the most well-attested findings in parapsychology. People who believe that they can perform well on a test of ESP tend to do so; while people who do not have confidence in their ability tend to score at chance levels of below. Statistically significant psi scoring, below chance expectation, is known as psi-missing. Jeff integrates this finding with our general understanding of the role of belief systems in human performance behavior.

InPresence 0132 Sneaky Ego

InPresence host, Jeffrey Mishlove, PhD, is author of The Roots of Consciousness, Psi Development Systems, and The PK Man. Between 1986 and 2002 he hosted and co-produced the original Thinking Allowed public television series. He is the recipient of the only doctoral diploma in “parapsychology” ever awarded by an accredited university (University of California, Berkeley, 1980). For many years he served as president of the non-profit Intuition Network, an organization dedicated to creating a world in which all people were supported and encouraged in developing inner intuitive abilities.

Here Jeff reflects on the process initiated by these monologues, both for himself and for the viewers. He also reflects on the comment of one viewer who suggested that InPresence seems to be morphing into a “vanity project”. This raises the question of whether, in spite of good intentions, his own ego is sneaking its way into gaining control of the videos.

InPresence 0131: Cultivating Yourself

InPresence host, Jeffrey Mishlove, PhD, is author of The Roots of Consciousness, Psi Development Systems, and The PK Man. Between 1986 and 2002 he hosted and co-produced the original Thinking Allowed public television series. He is the recipient of the only doctoral diploma in “parapsychology” ever awarded by an accredited university (University of California, Berkeley, 1980). For many years he served as president of the non-profit Intuition Network, an organization dedicated to creating a world in which all people were supported and encouraged in developing inner intuitive abilities.

Here Jeff makes the point that who he is, on the inside, is not his name. The name is just a convenient handle. He introduces the topic of self-cultivation by pointing out that, for the most part, everyone is fine just as they are. But, we can elect to work on ourselves. He offers two examples of areas where he plans to make progress: karaoke and weight-loss. He invites viewers to select similar areas for themselves.

Awakening From the Quantum Dream with Paul Levy

Paul Levy is author of The Madness of George W. Bush: A Reflection of Our Collective Psychosis, Dispelling Wetiko: Breaking the Curse of Evil, Awakened By Darkness: When Evil Becomes Your Father, and The Quantum Revelation: A Radical Synthesis of Science and Spirituality. He has been a Tibetan Buddhist practitioner for the past three decades. His website is https://www.awakeninthedream.com/

Here he describes the concept of a virus of the mind, infecting all of humanity. He references the native Cree term Wetiko. However, it could be thought of as Satan or Ahriman or the Archons. In Jungian terms, it involves a projection of one’s own shadow on to elements of the world at large. It is a form of psychic blindness. However, when we recognize the Wetiko for what it is, we also see that it is an expression of our own power in the external world. Quantum physics now shows us, unequivocally, that the distinction between objective and subjective is an illusion. Just as all elements of a dream are a reflection of one’s own psyche, so do we bring the “objective world” into existence through our collective consciousness.

New Thinking Allowed host, Jeffrey Mishlove, PhD, is author of The Roots of Consciousness, Psi Development Systems, and The PK Man.

He is the recipient of the only doctoral diploma in “parapsychology” ever awarded by an accredited university (University of California, Berkeley, 1980). He is past-vice-president of the Association for Humanistic Psychology and is the recipient of the Pathfinder Award from that association for his contributions to the field of human consciousness.

InPresence 0130: Nothing Is More Important Than …

InPresence host, Jeffrey Mishlove, PhD, is author of The Roots of Consciousness, Psi Development Systems, and The PK Man. Between 1986 and 2002 he hosted and co-produced the original Thinking Allowed public television series. He is the recipient of the only doctoral diploma in “parapsychology” ever awarded by an accredited university (University of California, Berkeley, 1980). For many years he served as president of the non-profit Intuition Network, an organization dedicated to creating a world in which all people were supported and encouraged in developing inner intuitive abilities.

Here he returns to an exploration of the concept of nothingness. He suggests that when he begins a monologue with no agenda or script, the possibility exists of transmitting messages from a deeper level within himself. He explores the Buddhist concept of nirvana. He also looks at a variety of phenomena, such as UFOs, that mainstream society regards as worthless — suggesting that some of these may be of great significance. He suggests that humans may simultaneously partake of both being and nothingness.

InPresence 0129: The Edge of Hilarity

InPresence host, Jeffrey Mishlove, PhD, is author of The Roots of Consciousness, Psi Development Systems, and The PK Man. Between 1986 and 2002 he hosted and co-produced the original Thinking Allowed public television series. He is the recipient of the only doctoral diploma in “parapsychology” ever awarded by an accredited university (University of California, Berkeley, 1980). For many years he served as president of the non-profit Intuition Network, an organization dedicated to creating a world in which all people were supported and encouraged in developing inner intuitive abilities.

Here he reflects upon the laughter and humor that seem to be a natural part of his monologues. He remembers a T’ai Chi teacher who once told him that the best practice is when one is “on the edge of hilarity”. He ponders the meaning of life, and notes that we often assign meaning based upon the satisfaction of our needs. He also suggests that humor is an important component of psychic and spiritual transmission. He asks viewers to consider if and when they take themselves too seriously.

Between 1986 and 2002 he hosted and co-produced the original Thinking Allowed public television series. He is the recipient of the only doctoral diploma in “parapsychology” ever awarded by an accredited university (University of California, Berkeley, 1980). For many years he served as president of the non-profit Intuition Network, an organization dedicated to creating a world in which all people were supported and encouraged in developing inner intuitive abilities.

Here he points out that he is more of a cyborg that he appreciated earlier when discussing his new pacemaker. He also wears hearing aids and uses a special air pressure machine to help sleep at night. And, he plans to meet with a surgeon soon to discuss a possible knee replacement. All of these developments indicate of how rapidly the human species is merging with technology of our own creation. Yet, in spite of amazing progress, human ignorance remains, and will always remain, overwhelmingly greater than human knowledge.

Between 1986 and 2002 he hosted and co-produced the original Thinking Allowed public television series. He is the recipient of the only doctoral diploma in “parapsychology” ever awarded by an accredited university (University of California, Berkeley, 1980). For many years he served as president of the non-profit Intuition Network, an organization dedicated to creating a world in which all people were supported and encouraged in developing inner intuitive abilities.

Here he explains that he is a somewhat different person, since the previous InPresence segment, in that he now has a pacemaker. He describes his history of syncopes and heart rhythm issues, noting that a pacemaker was first recommended by a physician more than ten years ago. He declined at that time, knowing that he would eventually require one. He suggests that he is now somewhat more of a cyborg — and that this is a global trend. He also elaborates on these events as related to consciousness.

Future Communion with Whitley Strieber

Whitley Strieber is author of more than 40 books, including many novels. Among his non-fiction works are Communion: A True Story, Confirmation: The Hard Evidence of Aliens Among Us, Solving The Communion Enigma: What Is To Come?, The Secret School: Preparation for Contact, The Key: A True Encounter, and A New World. He is coauthor, with his late wife Anne Strieber, of The Communion Letters. He is coauthor, with Professor Jeffrey Kripal, of The Super Natural: A New Vision of the Unexplained. His website is http://www.strieber.com/.

Here he acknowledges his role as a magician conjuring up a world in which the human race will enter into conscious communication with the spectrum of beings he refers to as “the visitors”. He frankly admits that this is not a task he can accomplish by himself. However, there is a large underground of support. He emphasizes a communication style unafraid of poetry and symbolism. He points out that understanding alien consciousness means we understand ourselves more deeply.

InPresence 0125: John Adams and Thomas Jefferson

InPresence host, Jeffrey Mishlove, PhD, is author of The Roots of Consciousness, Psi Development Systems, and The PK Man. Between 1986 and 2002 he hosted and co-produced the original Thinking Allowed public television series. He is the recipient of the only doctoral diploma in “parapsychology” ever awarded by an accredited university (University of California, Berkeley, 1980). For many years he served as president of the non-profit Intuition Network, an organization dedicated to creating a world in which all people were supported and encouraged in developing inner intuitive abilities.

Here he notes that both Adams and Jefferson died on July 4, 1826. They were revolutionary comrades and later bitter political enemies. Eventually, with the assistance of Benjamin Rush, they reconciled and developed a close relationship. Adams’ last words were “Jefferson still survives.” Jeff speculates that, perhaps, Adams had a deathbed vision of Jefferson waiting to greet him from the other side.

InPresence 0124: The Divine Feminine

InPresence host, Jeffrey Mishlove, PhD, is author of The Roots of Consciousness, Psi Development Systems, and The PK Man. Between 1986 and 2002 he hosted and co-produced the original Thinking Allowed public television series. He is the recipient of the only doctoral diploma in “parapsychology” ever awarded by an accredited university (University of California, Berkeley, 1980). For many years he served as president of the non-profit Intuition Network, an organization dedicated to creating a world in which all people were supported and encouraged in developing inner intuitive abilities.

Here he suggests that western culture is out-of-balance because our image of the divine severely diminishes the feminine aspect. As a result, women are treated as less godly than men. Furthermore, those aspects of the psyche that are associated with the feminine, feeling and intuition (including psychic functioning), are relegated to an inferior status — as compared with the masculine attributes of thinking and sensing.

Between 1986 and 2002 he hosted and co-produced the original Thinking Allowed public television series. He is the recipient of the only doctoral diploma in “parapsychology” ever awarded by an accredited university (University of California, Berkeley, 1980). For many years he served as president of the non-profit Intuition Network, an organization dedicated to creating a world in which all people were supported and encouraged in developing inner intuitive abilities.

Here he begins with a discussion of memory loss; then he pivots to the main topic, the Bible. He points to the work of Julius Wellhausen, in the early twentieth century, inaugurating a new era of biblical criticism by identifying different authors of the five books of Moses. He points to the lack of evidence, in ancient Egyptian records, of any references to the events portrayed in the Book of Exodus. He notes that excavations of the City of Jericho have found the the ancient walls decayed slowly over time, and did not collapse suddenly as is portrayed in the Joshua. He also highlights the work of Yuval Noah Harari and his emphasis of the human capacity for creating fictional stories.

For many years he served as president of the non-profit Intuition Network, an organization dedicated to creating a world in which all people were supported and encouraged in developing inner intuitive abilities.

Here he notes that this video monologue is being released on the day when the news will be reporting on the important Mexican election. He refers to his three earlier interviews with C. M. Mayo, author of Metaphysical Odyssey Into the Mexican Revolution: Francisco I. Madero and his Secret Book Spiritist Manual. These interviews describe how the father of Mexico’s 1910 revolution regarded himself to be a spiritist medium. Jeff then raises a series of questions regarding the value of spiritual approaches to politics.

InPresence host, Jeffrey Mishlove, PhD, is author of The Roots of Consciousness, Psi Development Systems, and The PK Man. Between 1986 and 2002 he hosted and co-produced the original Thinking Allowed public television series. He is the recipient of the only doctoral diploma in “parapsychology” ever awarded by an accredited university (University of California, Berkeley, 1980). For many years he served as president of the non-profit Intuition Network, an organization dedicated to creating a world in which all people were supported and encouraged in developing inner intuitive abilities.

Here he references the very name of this monologue series, InPresence, as having originally been a discussion group for professionals in the field of intuition. Being present in the moment is a path that leads to cultivation of intuitive and psychic capacities. He discusses the meaning of the phrase, Be Here Now, using the example of walking into a room and forgetting why you came there. He also describes his experience of being present while conducting video conversations.

Anti-Mysticism with James Tunney

James Tunney, LLM, is an Irish Barrister who has lectured on legal matters throughout the world. He is a poet, a visual artist, and also author of The Mystical Accord: Sutras to Suit Our Times, Lines for Spiritual Evolution. In addition, he has written two dystopian novels — Blue Lies September, and Ireland I Don’t Recognize Who She Is. His website is http://www.jamestunney.com.

Here he discusses various elements of society that are antagonistic to mysticism. He notes that the objectivist philosophy of Ayn Rand, while antagonistic to religion, and therefore mysticism, ought not to be — since it emphasizes individual freedom. However, objectivism has strong rationalistic and scientistic elements that tend to view mysticism as a dangerous superstition. Similarly, psychiatry also tends to confuse mysticism with psychopathology.

InPresence 0120: Letting Go of Guilt

InPresence host, Jeffrey Mishlove, PhD, is author of The Roots of Consciousness, Psi Development Systems, and The PK Man. Between 1986 and 2002 he hosted and co-produced the original Thinking Allowed public television series. He is the recipient of the only doctoral diploma in “parapsychology” ever awarded by an accredited university (University of California, Berkeley, 1980). For many years he served as president of the non-profit Intuition Network, an organization dedicated to creating a world in which all people were supported and encouraged in developing inner intuitive abilities.

Here he revisits the recent video conversation with Jason Reza Jorjani about Franz Kafka’s novel, The Trial. He points to one interpretation suggested by Jorjani: that we are all guilty of being at odds with ourself to a greater or lesser degree. No one is so well-integrated as to be free of self-contradictory behaviors. In fact, there are many other things for which we might well feel guilty. Jeff suggests that we can address this situation by letting go of all guilt. He points out that, in so doing, we must seek to become more responsible for our own actions.
