Aging from Role to Soul with Connie Zweig (4K Reboot) Oct 13, 2026

Show notes

Connie Zweig, PhD, is a retired psychotherapist. She is coeditor of the anthology, Meeting the Shadow: The Hidden Power of the Dark Side of Human Nature. She is coauthor of Romancing the Shadow: A Guide to Soul Work for a Vital, Authentic Life. Her newest book is The Inner Work of Age: Shifting from Role to Soul.

In this video, rebooted from 2021, she describes the many challenges we face as we enter into the autumn and winter of our lives. Among the most serious of these is ageism, a form of social discrimination that remains largely unchallenged. Other issues include increased helplessness, pain, disease, and infirmity. Fear of death also looms large. These factors all become "grist for the mill" and can lead to spiritual openings.

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.

Consciousness, Resonance, and Vibration with Tamlyn Hunt Oct 12, 2026

Show notes

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.

Vedic Tradition and UFOs with Michael Cremo (4K Reboot) Oct 11, 2026

Show notes

Michael Cremo is coauthor with Richard Thompson of Forbidden Archeology. He is also author of Human Devolution: A Vedic Alternative to Darwin's Theory as well as My Science, My Religion – a collection of his scientific papers.

In this 2021 rebooted video he describes the Vedic worldview as one in which consciousness, rather than matter, is considered fundamental. The Vedic universe is populated by a vast array of entities including both extraterrestrial and extra-dimensional. There are deities and demonic entities covering a wide range of technological and spiritual attainments. Flying vehicles are frequently described. Some are described in mechanical terms others are completely mental, or spiritual, in nature. Cremo points out that there are many similarities between modern UFO reports and ancient Vedic accounts.

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.

Applied Precognition with Jon Knowles (4K Reboot) Oct 08, 2026

Show notes

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) Oct 07, 2026

Show notes

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 Oct 05, 2026

Show notes

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).

The Nature of Higher Consciousness with Sally Ornstein (4K Reboot) Oct 04, 2026

Show notes

Sally M. Ornstein was married to the late psychologist, Robert E. Ornstein, for more than 35 years. She is coauthor, with him, of God 4.0: On the Nature of Higher Consciousness and the Experience Called "God".

In this reboot from 2021, Sally describes the capacities of the brain's right hemisphere for experiences of transcendence and wholeness. She maintains that higher states of awareness are achieved, naturally, by deactivating certain areas of the brain that keep us focused on egoic concerns – the right parietal lobe and the default mode network. Ornstein describes stages in humanity's religious evolution leading up to the integration of science and spirituality.
