October 2, 2022 — Bernard Beitman, MD and Tim Swartz Oct 02, 2022

Show notes

Gene and cohost Tim Swartz explore the frontiers of reality with Bernard Beitman, MD, author of Meaningful Coincidences: How and Why Synchronicity and Serendipity Happen. He writes that each of us has more to do with creating coincidences than we think. In this comprehensive exploration of the potential of coincidences to expand our understanding of reality, he explores why and how coincidences, synchronicity, and serendipity happen and how to use these common occurrences to inspire psychological, interpersonal, and spiritual growth. Exploring the crucial role of personal agency—individual thought and action—in synchronicities and serendipities, Dr. Beitman shows that there’s much more behind these occurrences than “fate” or “randomness.” They can be clues to the functioning of the psychosphere, our mental atmosphere through which many of them happen.

Show notes

Gene and cohost Tim Swartz present Raymond Szymanski, an award winning author, researcher, and an acknowledged expert on Wright-Patterson Air Force Base (WPAFB) and its purported alien connections. In his first book, “Alien Shades of Greys: Evidence of Extraterrestrial Visitation to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base and Beyond,” Raymond reveals compelling evidence and research that supports long held rumors of Wright-Patterson’s alien involvement. Forty years of employment at the fabled Air Force Base, where Roswell crash wreckage was allegedly examined, has given Raymond unique access to locations and individuals providing tantalizing information on Men in Black, dead aliens, and the elusive Hangar 18. Is there really a Hangar 18, or is that just a rumor or fodder for sci-fi stories? He also discusses such classic cases as the 1965 UFO “Incident at Exeter, the 1966 Michigan “Swamp Gas” UFO, the 1975 Travis Walton abduction, and the 1980 Rendlesham Forest encounters.
