Apports and Other Anomalous Phenomena with Keith Thompson

Keith Thompson is author of Angels and Aliens: UFOs and the Mythic Imagination, The UFO Paradox: The Celestial and Symbolic World of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena, and most recently Anomalous Phenomena: Apports and the Mystery of Objects that Materialize and Translocate. Keith explores apports, which are objects that materialize and translocate, from the remarkable Scole Experiment in England, where coins, a 1944 newspaper, and developed film appeared under controlled conditions supervised by the Society for Psychical Research. He connects these events to near-death experiences, ancestral visions of a three-year-old boy, Navajo Rangers investigating Bigfoot and Skinwalker phenomena, stigmata, the placebo effect, and UFO materializations, arguing that mind and matter dance on a spectrum rather than remaining permanently divided. Drawing on radical empiricism, Thompson presents these anomalous phenomena as invitations to update our maps of reality rather than dismiss what challenges conventional theories. 00:00:00 Introduction 00:05:40 Near-death experience 00:11:40 The Scole experiment 00:19:00 Stigmata and placebo 00:25:00 Physical mediumship revival 00:29:10 Navajo Rangers cases 00:34:30 UFOs, and high strangeness 00:39:10 Ancestral vision of Logan 00:46:40 The recovered harp 00:50:50 Conclusion New Thinking Allowed host, Jeffrey Mishlove, PhD, is author of The Roots of Consciousness, Psi Development Systems, and The PK Man.

What Have We Lost? with James Tunney

James Tunney is author of many other books including AI-Govnerveance: Care and Possession in Dustopia, The Mystical Accord: Sutras to Suit our Times, TechBondAge: Slavery of the Human Spirit, The Mystery of the Trapped Light: Mystical Thoughts in the Dark Age of Scientism, AI-Posthumanism: A Cryptic Soap Opera, Plantation of the Automatons: Rule of an Automaticity Loop, The Mythic Aim of AI: Maiming the Mind, Empire of Scientism, and Trotsky vs Jesus: Battle of the AI-Millennium. James explores what the modern West has lost by abandoning the integrated medieval worldview that united Hebraic, Hellenistic, Roman, and Hermetic traditions into a participatory sacred order visible in cathedrals, art, and daily life. He argues that this spiritual regression, driven by scientism, Marxism, the Reformation’s rejection of image and purgatory, and the reduction of soul to psyche, has deconstructed human dignity and left us vulnerable to technocratic and AI-driven ideologies that deny the person as created in God’s image. Drawing on near-death experiences, perennial philosophy, and the return of young people to religion, Tunney contends that recovering objective spiritual reality and the full anthropology of the person is essential for resisting the empire of scientism. 00:00:00 Introduction: 00:05:00 What we have lost 00:11:00 Marxism and technocracy 00:17:00 Psychology and the soul 00:24:00 Perennial philosophy 00:31:00 Hierarchy and apophatic theology 00:39:00 Reformation and capitalism 00:50:00 Esoteric versus exoteric 00:57:00 Near-death experiences 01:11:00 Conclusion New Thinking Allowed host, Jeffrey Mishlove, PhD, is author of The Roots of Consciousness, Psi Development Systems, and The PK Man.

Philosophy and Theology with Pierre Grimes (1924 - 2024) (4K Reboot)

The late Pierre Grimes, PhD, was a specialist in classical Greek philosophy. He is the founder of the American Philosophical Practitioners Association. He is also founder of the Noetic Society in the Los Angeles area.

Born in 1924, he is also a decorated veteran of the Second World War. This this 2021 rebooted video, he notes that neither Socrates nor Jesus wrote down their own thoughts. In order to understand them, we must rely upon their interpreters. Both men were put to death for their ideas. Both were concerned with divine illumination. He presents Jesus as a gnostic teacher, as depicted in the Nag Hammadi scriptures, whose life and work was close to that of Socrates.

Letting Go of Letting Go with Peter Russell (4K Reboot)

Peter Russell is author of many books including The TM Technique, The Brain Book, The Global Brain, The Global Brain Awakens, From Science to God, Waking Up in Time, The White Hole in Time, and Letting Go of Nothing. He has been teaching meditation for a half-century. In this rebooted video from 2021, he presents his synthesis of the different spiritual approaches he has studied and practiced over many years.The common essence, he finds, is the concept of "letting go". He points out that, when we try hard to push unwelcome thoughts out of our minds, the result can be an increase in tension rather than the deep relaxation that is achievable through meditation. He describes how his own meditation practice has evolved over the decades. 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.

Speaking in Tongues with Josh Brahinsky

Josh Brahinsky is a psychological anthropologist, known for a neurophenomenological approach to states of consciousness. He is affiliated with Stanford University and McGill University in Canada. He is author of Tongues of Fire: How Charismatic Prayer Changes Evangelical Brains and Inspires Spirit-Filled Activism. Josh explores the neurophenomenology of speaking in tongues among Pentecostals and charismatics, showing how this form of wordless, surrendered prayer produces powerful emotional release and altered states. Drawing on EEG and MRI studies with dozens of practitioners, he demonstrates that the key mechanism is not the tongues themselves but the degree of surrender, which loosens predictive brain maps, increases neural complexity, and expands creative, divergent thinking — especially when people feel connected to God or to one another. Brahinsky also traces the practice’s historical links to social activism (from the 1906 Azusa Street Revival onward) and reflects on the wider implications of deliberately loosening the mind. 00:00:00 Introduction 00:05:30 Background on Pentecostals and charismatics 00:11:00 Nature of speaking in tongues 00:16:30 Historical roots and comparisons 00:22:00 Surrender, emotion, and activism 00:28:00 Brain measures of prayer 00:34:00 Creativity, alliance, and dropping in 00:40:00 Silent prayer, MRI challenges, and findings 00:46:00 Training, inspiration, and broader implications 00:49:20 Conclusion New Thinking Allowed host, Jeffrey Mishlove, PhD, is author of The Roots of Consciousness, Psi Development Systems, and The PK Man.

InPresence 0161: Jung’s Underworld Journey – Further Reflections on Peter Kingsley’s Catafalque

In this rebooted video from 2019, Jeffrey Mishlove continues his reflections upon Peter Kingsley's 2018 book, Catafalque: Carl Jung and the End of Humanity, focusing on Kingsley's mysterious reference to a "sacred contract, signed at the beginning of time, between the living and the dead." The implications of this contract are enormous for those who journey into the underworld. Mishlove reflects upon how this "sacred contract" might intersect with the world of parapsychology.

Fear of death also looms large. These factors all become "grist for the mill" and can lead to spiritual openings.

Consciousness, Resonance, and Vibration with Tamlyn Hunt

Tamlyn Hunt, JD, is an attorney and renewable-energy specialist. He is the co-originator of the General Resonance Theory of Consciousness, developed in affiliation with Jonathan Schooler at UC, Santa Barbara. He is author of Eco, Ego, Eros: Essays in Philosophy, Spirituality, and Science; Mind, World, God: Science and Spirit in the 21st Century; Solar: Why Our Energy Future Is So Bright; and, most recently the topic of this discussion, The Hippies were Right: About Consciousness and Everything Else. Tamlyn discusses the General Resonance Theory of consciousness, co-developed with Jonathan Schooler, which posits that all things resonate, possess a basic awareness (panpsychism), and form higher-level consciousness through shared resonance of electromagnetic fields. He explores connections to hippie-era insights on vibrations, RNG experiments at Burning Man linked to collective attention, the hard problem of consciousness, electromuticals as non-chemical therapies, comparisons with other theories, and implications for AI. Drawing on his personal journey from a hippie upbringing through military service and psychedelic experiences, Hunt reflects on what the hippies got right and wrong, advocating love-based activism for today’s challenges. 00:00:00 Introduction 00:05:45 General resonance theory axioms 00:11:20 Burning Man RNG experiments 00:17:10 Electromagnetic fields and consciousness 00:23:15 Faraday cages and psi phenomena 00:28:50 Panpsychism and the hard problem 00:34:40 Electromuticals and theory testing 00:40:25 Comparing theories of consciousness 00:46:10 Hippie background and personal journey 00:53:50 Conclusion New Thinking Allowed host, Jeffrey Mishlove, PhD, is author of The Roots of Consciousness, Psi Development Systems, and The PK Man.

WWII Past-Life Recollection with Benjamin Carraud

Benjamin Carraud is author of Goodbye, Fields of Prokhorovka: Past-Life Memories of a Waffen-SS Officer. Benjamin shares his spontaneous, vivid past-life memories of serving as a Waffen-SS officer on the Eastern Front during World War II, including intense combat flashbacks and the moment of his death in a tank near Prokhorovka. He describes the personal crisis these unbidden recollections caused, his efforts to research and verify historical details that matched the life of Eugen Kunstmann, and his eventual contact with the officer’s surviving family. Carraud explores the emotional weight of carrying such memories, questions of continuity of consciousness, identity, guilt, and forgiveness without glorifying the regime or its crimes. 00:00:00 Introduction 00:07:48 Spontaneous flashbacks begin 00:15:36 Seeking understanding and help 00:23:24 Researching the historical match 00:31:12 Identifying Eugen Kunstmann 00:39:00 Contact with the family 00:46:48 Death experience and afterlife 00:54:36 Lessons on identity and guilt 01:02:24 Continuity of consciousness 01:10:12 Conclusion New Thinking Allowed host, Jeffrey Mishlove, PhD, is author of The Roots of Consciousness, Psi Development Systems, and The PK Man.

Jon Knowles has been active in the remote viewing community since 2000. He has been involved as a trainer, viewer, and project organizer. He is coauthor, with Debra Lynne Katz, of Associative Remote Viewing. He is also author of Remote Viewing from the Ground Up. In this reboot from 2021, Jon focuses on various methodological nuances involved in precognitive forecasting of lottery numbers, horse races, athletic events, and various financial instruments. He describes the history of such efforts over the past fifty years. He favors a system involving a unitary target rather than a binary choice, suggesting that it provides statistically better results. Knowles also discusses the potential social implications of applied precognition, and speculates as well on the possibility of artificial consciousness.

The Quantum Brain with Amit Goswami (4K Reboot)

Amit Goswami, PhD, is a retired professor of physics from the University of Oregon. He is author of The Self-Aware Universe, Physics of the Soul, The Quantum Doctor, God is Not Dead, Quantum Creativity, and The Everything Answer Book. This conversation is based on his book, The Quantum Brain, coauthored with Valentina Onisor. His website is https://www.amitgoswami.org/ In this reboot from 2021, Amit builds upon his insight that consciousness is the ground of all being and can also be thought of as the quantum wave function, i.e., the realm of all possibilities. The brain itself does not produce consciousness. Rather it exists within consciousness. Quantum correlations are, ultimately responsible for the coherence of our mental experience. Goswami also addresses the yoga chakra system and the process of reincarnation.

American Gurus with Arthur Versluis

Arthur Versluis is Professor of Religious Studies at Michigan State University. Among his many books are American Gnosis: Political Religion and Transcendence, The New Inquisitions: Heretic-Hunting and the Intellectual Origins of Modern Totalitarianism, Wisdom’s Children: A Christian Esoteric Tradition, American Transcendentalism and Asian Religions, Alchemical Lightwork: A Guide to Creating Cultures of Light and Spiritual Awakening, and Platonic Mysticism. Here we will be discussing his book, American Gurus, Magic and Mysticism: An Introduction to Western Esoteric Traditions. His website is https://arthurversluis.com/ Arthur explores the uniquely American phenomenon of “immediatism”—the claim of immediate enlightenment or revelation with little or no preparatory practice—tracing its roots from Emersonian Transcendentalism through the Beats, the psychedelic counterculture, and contemporary neo-Advaita teachers. Drawing on his book American Gurus, he examines figures ranging from Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau to Adi Da, Frithjof Schuon, Osho, Bernadette Roberts, and Franklin Merrell-Wolff, highlighting both the antinomian tendencies and the genuine mystical insights that recur across this lineage. Versluis situates these currents within broader cultural cross-pollination between Western and Asian traditions while cautioning against reducing every guru to mere power dynamics. 00:00:00 Introduction 00:06:00 Immediatism and American character 00:12:00 Emersonian Transcendentalism and self-reliance 00:18:00 Continuity through William James and psychedelics 00:24:00 Neo-Advaita and late-twentieth-century gurus 00:30:00 Antinomianism and documented controversies 00:36:00 Bernadette Roberts and the path of no-self 00:42:00 Power dynamics and feet of clay 00:48:00 Esalen human potential and cultural cross-pollination 00:56:00 Conclusion 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). He is also the Grand Prize winner of the 2021 Bigelow Institute essay competition regarding the best evidence for survival of human consciousness after permanent bodily death. He is Co-Director of Parapsychology Education at the California Institute for Human Science.
