This far-ranging, open-ended conversation explores the role of intuitive consciousness as a cultural force. The discussion focuses on Sir Isaac Newton as a spiritual alchemist and archetypal materialist. Other topics include the role of psychic functioning as well the fear of psi, the Nietzschean emphasis on the “superman”, and even the possibility of psychedelic mushroom spores from outer space.

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