Alex Tsakiris: a show about what yoga is really all aboutChapter 2 14 sec
Riz Virk: But it& a little more than a metaphor, because if we& taking information and we& actually rendering physical things around us, now that& a game and that& a simulation, but it& just so far more advancedChapter 3 28 sec
Alex Tsakiris: no. I think they& saying something different., I mean, you can& have it both ways. If it& more than a metaphor, it& not a metaphor. I go back to your definition of what yoga is. It& the cessation of the whirlpools of thoughts and feelings in the river of consciousness. You& talking about God and divine here, right?Chapter 4 12 sec
Riz Virk:, that& part of it, but part of it is that we don& have the language to expressChapter 5 1 min
Alex Tsakiris: The first clip. Was from the movie forgetting Sarah MarshallChapter 6 1 hr 29 mins

Clip: Someone close to you has passed away. Yes. This person, your brotherChapter 3 4 sec
Alex Tsakiris: And wouldn& you know, it loves getting in the way againChapter 4 13 sec
Dr. Julie Beischel: I have so much trouble saying it cuz I sound like a hippie. But like, it& all about love. It& I hate saying it, but that& where the data point. So that& what we gotta do. So if you wanna hear from your deceased loved ones, like you gotta do loveChapter 5 50 sec
Alex Tsakiris: The first clip was from them, who we hear rafter. And that was Matt Damon. And the second was from today& guest. Dr. Julie, who isChapter 6 9 sec
Dr. Julie Beischel: me. Thanks so much for having me. I& been,, social distancing for three years now, so it& a wonderful opportunity to put on a clean shirt and earrings, so thank you for having meChapter 7 53 sec
Alex Tsakiris: Are you kidding? This is such, well, I don& know. We can all get, I can, I can, I enjoy my social distancing very much so I, I hold to that very strongly,, for those of you who don& know, who haven& been around Skeptiko for years and years, you may not know. Julie is really, we can dance around it. Probably the foremost authority in the world on after death communication, at least the scientific authorityChapter 8 1 hr 3 mins
Dr. Julie Beischel: that? Yeah, there& no question that affects more people than what happens when we die. And so it is not, it is, it is applicable to everyone. This is a really important topic, but because of the current scientific paradigm, scientific materialism, which states that it hypothesizes, it& just a theory that the brain makes consciousness because that& the dominant paradigm

Clip: We have comfort, science, medicine, technology, and the physical worldChapter 3 7 sec
Alex Tsakiris: And how the data from a variety of spiritually transformative experiences is staring us right in the faceChapter 4 19 sec
Dr. Robert Davis: People who, undergo these things are transformed in, in so dramatic ways.., how do you explain the fact that atheists now believe in,. Supreme beings after having these spiritual, transformative experiences or dramatically change., their opinions on, on major aspects of philosophical and personal life,Chapter 5 53 mins
Alex Tsakiris: That first clip is kind of interesting. It& from the movie proximity when he comes down looking for Jesus or just somebody who can tell them what the real story is. And the second clip was from returning guests. The very excellent doctor, Robert Davis, who I believe is really tapping into the keys of the kingdom when it comes to understanding E T and that is understanding spiritually transformative experiences. This is kind of a wide ranging discussion. But I think it lands on a couple of really important points. I hope you enjoy it

Eve Lorgen: cuz there& there& people now who are claiming that it& a, it& a false thing and don& go in the white light and you& gonna get trappedChapter 4 25 sec
Alex Tsakiris: The interesting thing to me is that I have no doubt that the basic premise of what you& saying is true is that there is some non-human intelligence with advanced technology that can implement means of deception in a way that directly interferes with or has the appearance of interfering with what people would understand to be a near-death experience or a reincarnation experienceChapter 5 9 sec
Alex Tsakiris: They& faking it. I, I think they& faking it. That is my ultimate conclusion. But that is an important shift that no one in the n d E community is really looking atChapter 6 11 sec
Eve Lorgen: Wow. I don& know. All I know is what I experienced is a realization that. It went beyond my, uh, normal consciousness of what& in the personality of this identity or any other lifetimeChapter 7 10 sec

Alex Tsakiris: That is the closest to making sense to me. It& a co-created dreaming reality for the purpose of our own personal growth of our soul in some way. I mean, that& the only way I can wrap my arms around it in a way that both feels supported by a total opening to the data and, uh, kind of my personal intuitive sense of it

Alex Tsakiris: on, this episode of Skeptiko, I keep asking the same question. Does your spiritually transformative experience matter? Well, does it, Jodie fosterChapter 2 9 sec
Alex Tsakiris: I don& wanna hear about the different kinds of near death experiences. What I wanna know is what is going on in these extended realms?Chapter 3 7 sec
Alex Tsakiris: How are we supposed to understand them? Mm-hmm. And how are we supposed to understand the information that& coming back from these extended realms?Chapter 4 14 sec
Yvonne Kason:. I& offering a, a vocabulary as a starting point. I& not saying it& the be all and the end all. It& just as I started as a young doctor because I started having, as you mentioned, my first NDE start when, when I was five, one, when I was 11Chapter 5 28 sec
Yvonne Kason: You know, I started having out of body experiences. I started seeing spirits and ghosts when I was a child after my near-death experience, which we now know is a common after fact. And then my Kundalini awakening mystical experience, near-death experience. I now have words that I can use. To describe these and you at least have an idea, even if we don& know what it is or what causes it, or we can argue how we interpret it, at least we now have a vocabulary that we can communicate about itChapter 6 52 sec
Alex Tsakiris: That first clip was from, believe it or not way back in 1997, the movie contact that was Jodie foster starring in that one. And the second clip was from today& guest. Dr. Vaughn caisson. Another, a lot of people who are really going to not like this interview in a number of ways, particularly since I push on Dr. Yvonne caisson very hard at times, but how else are we going to get to the next level of this stuff? We can& just keep talking about the love and light. Of this spiritually transformative experience without wondering.Whether there& another side. Hope you enjoy the interview. Superintelligence super well-informed and qualified and accomplished. Person. Who I hold in very, very high regard. And I& very appreciative for being on the showChapter 7 3 sec

Bruce Fenton: this is again, an issue in human consciousness, isn& it? That we want even our aliens to be reasonable with us, they& allowed to be a a bit different, but not too different. It can& be full on, you know, Harry Potter magical weirdness stuff. Oh no. You know, now you& gone a bit too far. Now it& just science fiction, you know, because it& not fitting into a kind of a prearranged,, landscape of what aliens should be likeChapter 3 13 sec
Bruce Fenton: Did someone else out there with intelligence have a point for us? For example, you know, that they actually had an, uh, you know, some idea of where we might want to go and have left us some kind of clues about what can help a civilization survive for hundreds of thousands of yearsChapter 4 2 sec
Bruce Fenton: It should give us a glimmer of hope.Chapter 5 23 sec
Alex Tsakiris: okay. Welcome to Skeptiko where we explore controversial science and spirituality. I& joined today by Bruce Fenton, one of my absolute favorites. Bruce, as you may remember, has been on the show a couple times., is the author along with his wife Danny of Exogenesis Hybrid Humans, a scientific history of extraterrestrial genetic manipulationChapter 6 17 sec
Alex Tsakiris: He also has a terrific CK that I, uh, subscribe to and it& just, I can& believe he gets the content out, but he does, uh, you check that out. Techno signatures,, the search for Alien Technologies where he kind of updates folks on a lot of the same topic area that the book was inChapter 7 9 sec
Alex Tsakiris: So, uh, Bruce, it& great to have you. Thanks for joining me. I, I, I have your prepared now cause I told you I& gonna, I& gonna push you, so, uh, I& gladChapter 8 7 sec
Bruce Fenton: you& here. Thank you. Yeah, thanks for having me back on. It& a pleasure. It& been a while. So yeah, we can catch up to where things are at and obviously YeahChapter 9 3 sec
Bruce Fenton: And tackle any other topics that you like a lot in common there too?Chapter 10 13 sec
Alex Tsakiris: Well, here& where, here& where I wanted to kind of redirect it because I know you can update me on a lot of stuff that& going on that is of super interest, you know, and people can go to your CK mm-hmm. and they& read all about itChapter 11 25 sec
Alex Tsakiris: What I wanna kind of take us to is, you know, I think the book is super important. I think the sub is super important, but I do question a little bit the way that you& going about it. You know, I just had this guy on, uh, recently, couple weeks ago, Jason Gianni, and he& really a philosopher, but he wrote this book, closer Encounters, and he& all worked up about, uh, Mars, you know, which he should beChapter 12 19 sec
Alex Tsakiris: Anybody should be, you know, you might talk about TEUs signatures all over the place in the images. You know, you go to Brandenburg& uh, nuclear weapons, Checka signature. Great. You got remote viewing, which isn& really a TEUs signature, but kind of is in a way. So there& plenty of reasons to be worked up about MarsChapter 13 1 hr 57 mins
Alex Tsakiris: But here& the big thing about Mars, right? Is we know two things about Mars and the Exogenesis with Mars. Number one

Alex Tsakiris: Welcome to Skeptiko, where we explore controversial science and spirituality. I& joined today by Dr. Jason Seriani., Jason was here a couple months ago and gave us just, I thought a terrific interview and I know a lot of you enjoyed it as wellChapter 3 6 sec
Alex Tsakiris: He& back to talk about his book Closer Encounters. Jason, it& great to have you back. Thanks forChapter 4 3 sec
Jason Reza Jorjani: joining me. It& an absolute pleasure to be here, AlexChapter 5 10 sec
Alex Tsakiris:,, if you& a member of the last interview with Jason,, one of the things that he really spelled out and that he brings to the table, which is we& just chatting about, is tremendous and uniqueChapter 6 26 sec
Alex Tsakiris: He& not a lot of people who that are processing stuff at this intellectual level have this ability, but Jason, as he defines it, is a true philosopher, a real philosopher. So when he& engaging in a topic like he is in closer encounters, UFOs, UAPs, contact with non-human intelligence, he& engaging in all the different aspects of itChapter 7 18 sec
Alex Tsakiris: Political, social, technological, religious and spiritual and paranormal. And most importantly, and as he said, I thought so beautifully and importantly, last time, he& doing it in a way that he is going to strive to make it internally consistent, within the framework of what he& presenting, right?Chapter 8 20 sec
Alex Tsakiris: So I, I might not agree and you might not agree with all its conclusions, but you gotta respect that approach because almost everything we see in this area, even if there& something you agree with, is siloed. You know, it& like, oh, in my silo, here& how things work. Well, don& ask me about anything spiritual or religiousChapter 9 20 sec
Alex Tsakiris: You know, don& ask me about this. It& just stay in my silo. So this, this approach is the only approach that can allow us to make any real. and it& fantastic.

Alex Tsakiris: It& real readable, but man, is it dense? I mean, this is a lot of references to a lot of stuff in here, so congratulations, Jason. Great, great job. I& so excited to talkChapter 11 1 hr 27 mins
Jason Reza Jorjani: to you about this. Thank you, Alex. Uh, yes, it is a very dense book., I think it& something like 400 pages or so, but it could easily have been a thousand pages

Alex Tsakiris: welcome to Skeptiko, where we explore controversial science and spirituality. Today we welcome Diane Collins to Skeptiko to talk about her book. Do You Quantum? And her quantum thinking system. We& gonna talk about that. You can find that which, you know, I just found Diane kind of redirects to diane collins.com, but either way you will find it and you will find Diane, it& pleasure to have you hereChapter 2
Alex Tsakiris: Thanks for joining me onChapter 3 5 sec
Dianne Collins: Skeptiko. Thank you Alex. I was looking forward to itChapter 4 15 sec
Alex Tsakiris: I am too because,, you know, I did read the book and there& so many things in the book that I really like, especially on a personal level and I definitely resonate with, uh, from a spirituality standpoint. And we had this very nice email exchange back and forthChapter 5 35 sec
Alex Tsakiris: You originally contacted me, I think, because you found my interview with, uh, Dr. Doug Matzke, quantum Doug on,, quantum computers and Extended Consciousness. So we had this email exchange. Back and forth. Right. And, and then, so we& gonna talk about quantum think, but I& gonna keep coming back to this angle that I told you in the initial email, which is, are you stretching the metaphor a little bit when it comes to quantum physics and what the implications of that are for consciousness and spiritualityChapter 6 20 sec
Alex Tsakiris: So that& gonna continue to be in the back of my head, but let& talk about this really interesting book that I think a lot of people have enjoyed it& uh, bestseller award winner. And I think a lot of people would enjoy getting your take on it. So tell us, tell us what it means to quit. Do you, do you quantum thinkChapter 7
Dianne Collins: Diane?Chapter 8 51 sec
Dianne Collins: Well, I do wanna address what you& talking about. You know, this idea of,, By the way, that title, do you quantum think is to remind people? Are you quantum thinking right now? And let& just say that my work is not about science. Quantum think is, I called it a system of thinking, 21 principles, which I call distinctions in thinking that is based in the, uh, the merging of science and spirituality in, you know, beyond scientific materialism, which I know that you have spoken about with so many of your guests and kind of where the context, where you come fromChapter 9 28 sec
Dianne Collins: So what& the difference of quantum? Think who am I, you know, if I, I& not a scientist, I don& pretend to be, um, Although I am scientifically minded and study the science quite extensively, well, quantum, what I discovered is that though we imagine, we think freely and independently, we all like to think of ourselves that wayChapter 10 28 sec
Dianne Collins: Actually we don& And that we& in a universe of systems and that thinking takes place as a system later, I learned that David Bone, the late grade quantum physicist, also, uh, thought of thinking that way and that the system is based in the assumptions, beliefs, ideas of the prevailing worldview andChapter 11 41 mins
Dianne Collins: This came across to me. I was in a conversation, uh, with a, my friend and I call him my mentor in quantum physics, self-appointed Dr. Fred Allen Wolf. And we were in a conversation about this and he wrote the book

Clip: Hey guys. Oh, thank God. And we started a community as survivors. Y& come live with usChapter 4 5 sec
Alex Tsakiris: and switching to a totally serious straight up mode what their agenda may beChapter 5 15 sec
Mary Rodwell: I don& believe they& come in with all that awareness. The downloads, the information, scientific information, don& believe that& for a waste of time. I believe there& a reason behind it, there& an agenda behind it, and I think it is going to change the consciousness of this planet at some pointChapter 6 38 sec
Alex Tsakiris:, that first clip was from Key and Peel, where they& yucking it up, but you kind of get a sense that, there& a little bit more going on there, especially when you look at the movies that Jordan Peele has made. And the second clip was from today& returning guest, Mary Rodwell, who I think is just amazing and terrific and will be absolutely over the top. Impossible for some people to process straight on. But nonetheless,, I think we have to, and we certainly do in this interview. And before I get to the interview, I wanted to play a clip that was kind of a post-interview discussion we were havingChapter 7 17 sec
Alex Tsakiris: I think it& really relevant to this question. I keep asking, you know, does ET have an n D E, does et have a life review, is really what I& driving at. And Mary answers the. So here& this extended clip, and then we will jump right into the interviewChapter 8 3 sec
Mary Rodwell: I, there was a regression that I did with a gentleman who was very spiritualChapter 9 20 sec
Mary Rodwell: And he is one of the ets going to a very primitive society. And he basically said, we decimated them. We killed them all off. And, and they saw us as gods. And I know afterwards he was horrified. Mm-hmm.. But one of these gods that had come down and basically barbarically just decimated them. Didn& didn& surprise meChapter 10 4 sec
Mary Rodwell: Cuz I think we& done the lot, you know, we& we& done all of this ourselves. We& just, didChapter 11 1 sec
Alex Tsakiris: he say, why did he say, was that hisChapter 12 12 sec
Mary Rodwell: it& just that superiority. He just wanted slaves. So the ones he kept alive were slaves. He was horrified afterwards. Cause he was a very spiritual guy and he was like, did I really do that?Chapter 13 3 sec
Mary Rodwell: You know? Mm. It seems like you did. You know, soChapter 14 24 sec
Alex Tsakiris: so you know what I, I& tempted to if, if you& allow it. put that little vignette in cuz it directly answers, does et have an n d e, does et have a life review? Because the near death experience, to me, the, the most, one of the most beautiful spiritual aspects about it is, yes, you will be judged, but you will be the judgeChapter 15 1 hr 25 mins

PMH Atwater: So I& thrown a, a number of & away, of course, cuz I, I& been doing this for, for 44 years. I& I& only got O one box left now., so that there& just simply no way I can go back.Chapter 6 3 sec
Alex Tsakiris:, it just doesn& ring true. It, I& just straight up, it doesn& ring true to meChapter 7 20 sec
Alex Tsakiris: Welcome to Skeptiko, where we explore controversial science and spirituality. Today we welcome near Death experience, researcher and author PMH Atwater. Her latest book is The Forever Angels Near Death, experiences in Childhood and Their Lifelong ImpactChapter 8 31 sec
Alex Tsakiris: A book that done other. Then Bruce Grayson calls unprecedented Kenneth ring calls. Truly groundbreaking and pin Von Lamel says is a very important, valuable contribution now. If you know anything about near-death experience science, that is the real study of the phenomenon. You know that all of the folks I just mentioned are very prominent researchers with distinguished credentials, so their endorsement of this book I think is quite significantChapter 9 2 sec
Alex Tsakiris: P M H welcome, it& great to have you hereChapter 10 1 sec
PMH Atwater: It& good to be hereChapter 11 23 sec
Alex Tsakiris: Very good. So pmh, you& known as a real trailblazer innovator, within the near death experience community, particularly because you have always maintained this focus on. NDE After Effects. And that& been your thing. And you& brought forth some really important insights and changed the direction of this researchChapter 12 17 sec
Alex Tsakiris: In this latest book, the Forever Angels you took it a, in a slightly different term, you looked at lifelong after effects among 120 people who had experienced an N D E very early in life. Why did you, uh, choose that particularChapter 13 34 sec
PMH Atwater: Well, bear in mind this is 397 people, so I& looking at my previous research of those that were maybe, you know, kids up to maybe twenties and thirties, and then I& now extending it to people in their seventies and eighties, and I& saying to them, Did having a near-death experience as a child make any difference in your life?Chapter 14 36 sec
PMH Atwater: Uh, more or less an essay kind of thing, I suppose. Um, but I was asking them to tell me about it. And, and I& tell you, some of the replies were so tear stained. I could hardly read them. Well, one man sent me a book, I mean, literally a book, including pictures of his family. And although the things that it was now retired and looking back and you know, Bruce Grayson said, Nobody& ever done thisChapter 15 1 hr 27 mins
PMH Atwater: Nobody& ever thought of doing this. You know, looking at kids as kids from birth at the age of five especially, and then, you know, a little bit older. And then, you know, looking at the near death experience. Had a lot of experience with adult experiencers, teenagers, and. and, you know, you know
