Alan Steinfeld Welcomes Robert Schoch to New Realities In this episode of New Realities / Portal to Ascension Radio, host Alan Steinfeld welcomes geologist and author Robert Schoch for a wide-ranging conversation about ancient civilization, the Great Sphinx, John Anthony West, solar outbursts, and what the past may reveal about humanity's future. Alan introduces Schoch as a geologist whose work helped bring geological analysis into controversial archaeological questions, especially through his redating of the Great Sphinx. Schoch explains that he teaches at Boston University, holds a PhD from Yale in geology and geophysics, and believes there was an earlier sophisticated cycle of civilization dating back to at least around 10,000 BC. John Anthony West and Symbolist Egypt Alan and Schoch spend significant time discussing the late John Anthony West, whom Schoch describes as both a close friend and research collaborator. Schoch explains that West was not a conventional academic Egyptologist, but had spent decades studying Egypt, astrology, symbolism, and the work of R. A. Schwaller de Lubicz. Together, they discuss the symbolist view of Egypt, which argues that the ancient Egyptians were not primitive animal worshipers, but encoded sophisticated spiritual, philosophical, and symbolic knowledge in their texts, monuments, and religious imagery. Schoch says West often criticized conventional academics for missing the deeper meaning behind Egyptian symbols. Meeting West and First Seeing the Sphinx Schoch recounts how he first met John Anthony West through a faculty member at Boston University who arranged for West to give a talk and then introduced him to Schoch. West had been looking for an open-minded geologist to evaluate whether the Sphinx showed signs of water weathering. Schoch says he was cautious at first and told West that photographs were not enough; he would need to inspect the site in Egypt. In 1990, West invited him to Egypt for a reconnaissance trip, and Schoch says that within seconds of seeing the Sphinx, he recognized weathering patterns that appeared to be caused by rainfall and runoff rather than Nile flooding. Water Weathering and the Recarved Head A major part of the interview centers on Schoch's geological interpretation of the Sphinx. He argues that the body and enclosure show evidence of water weathering from precipitation, which would push the monument's origins back to a much wetter period before the modern Sahara. He also says he immediately noticed that the Sphinx's head was too small for its body and not weathered in the same way, leading him to conclude that the current head was likely recarved from an earlier, more weathered head. Schoch says he believes the original head may have been a lion or lioness, later reshaped into a dynastic human head when the Sphinx was reused or reappropriated. Egypt, Western Civilization, and Ancient Continuity Alan and Schoch also discuss Egypt's influence on later civilizations. They note that Greek philosophers such as Pythagoras and Plato acknowledged learning from Egyptian traditions, and they connect Egyptian symbolism with later religious and cultural forms, including Judaism and Christianity. Schoch and Alan discuss parallels involving Isis, Horus, Osiris, the ark, the altar, the Virgin Mary, and the Christian mass, presenting these connections as part of a larger continuity between Egypt and the foundations of Western civilization. Schoch frames the ancient Egyptian tradition as one that preserved deep symbolic and sacred knowledge, not merely mythology or primitive belief. The End of the Last Ice Age and Solar Catastrophe The conversation then turns to Schoch's theory that a major solar outburst around 9700 BC helped end the last Ice Age and devastated an earlier cycle of civilization. Schoch argues that the Sun became highly active, producing solar eruptions, coronal mass ejections, atmospheric disruption, radiation, vitrification, torrential rains, massive flooding, and rapid climate change. He distinguishes this from comet-impact theories, saying he believes the evidence better fits solar activity. In his view, the Sphinx's water weathering, worldwide flood traditions, and the collapse of earlier civilizations may all connect to this solar-driven catastrophe. Atlantis, Zep Tepi, and Gobekli Tepe Schoch links his Sphinx work with broader questions about lost civilization. He discusses Zep Tepi, the Egyptian “first time,” and says that astronomical and geological evidence may point to a period around 10,500 BC. Alan asks about Atlantis, and Schoch explains that he treats Atlantis less as a single geographic puzzle and more as evidence, through Plato, of a sophisticated civilization or cultural memory that existed before the end of the last Ice Age. Near the close, they also discuss Göbekli Tepe in Turkey, which Schoch says provides independent evidence of sophisticated civilization before 9700 BC and helps answer critics who once asked for another early site comparable in significance to the Sphinx. Solar Risk, Technology, and Modern Vulnerability Alan asks whether a similar solar event could happen again, and Schoch says he believes another major solar outburst is not only possible but inevitable over geological time. Schoch warns that modern technological civilization is extremely vulnerable to coronal mass ejections, solar flares, and electromagnetic effects that could disrupt electrical grids, communication systems, electronics, satellites, cars, pipelines, and nuclear power facilities. He compares the potential danger to the Carrington Event of 1859, which damaged telegraph systems, and says today's dependence on electronics makes modern society far more vulnerable than earlier cultures. Preparing Philosophically, Spiritually, and Practically Schoch says that although governments may be aware of solar risks, ordinary people face difficult practical questions because modern infrastructure is not easily protected. He suggests that going underground or shielding systems beneath rock could help preserve some technology, but acknowledges that society cannot simply move underground. He and Alan discuss the need for communities to think ahead, prepare mentally and spiritually, and consider both practical resilience and philosophical readiness. Schoch says ancient Egypt's concept of sacred science may be important here because it joins science and spirituality rather than separating them. Closing with Ancient Knowledge and Future Questions Toward the end, Alan describes Schoch's work as a bridge between alternative culture and academic research. Schoch says studying the past is not only interesting for its own sake, but may reveal knowledge, warnings, technologies, and spiritual insights left by earlier civilizations. He points again to the Great Pyramid, the Sphinx Temple, and Göbekli Tepe as evidence that ancient people may have possessed both spiritual and technological sophistication beyond what mainstream timelines usually allow. The episode closes with Alan directing listeners to New Realities, Robert Schoch's website, and the Portal to Ascension Conference in Irvine, California, where Schoch plans to speak further about these themes.

New Realities with Alan Steinfeld Experiencers, Disclosure, and the Consciousness Behind UFO Contact Guests, Meredith Spearman, Holly Ann Wood and Richard Monck Introducing the UAP Experiencer Discussion In this episode of New Realities, Alan Steinfeld presents a UAPedia-sponsored discussion from the latest UAP Con, focused on UFO contact, anomalous experiences, consciousness, and the experiencer community. The panel features Meredith Spearman, Holly Ann Wood, and Richard Monk, each bringing a personal and research-based perspective to the topic. Alan frames the conversation around the challenge of integrating extraordinary experiences into a culture that often rejects or ridicules them, especially when those experiences do not fit ordinary scientific, social, or psychological frameworks. Meredith Spearman on Silence, Initiation, and Witnessing Meredith Spearman shares her childhood contact experience, beginning around age eight, and describes how the encounter dissolved the boundary between observer and observed. She explains that the phenomenon seemed to meet her rather than simply appear before her, creating a mutual and deeply transformative experience. Meredith says the experience ran through family lines, along with a learned silence around it, and that she carried it privately for decades before writing and speaking publicly. She frames contact not as hallucination, but as a form of initiation that can dissolve old identity, force a revision of reality, expand relational awareness, and permanently change a person's understanding of existence. Containers for Extraordinary Experience A major part of Meredith's presentation focuses on the need for social and cultural “containers” to help people integrate experiences that disrupt ordinary reality. She compares modern experiencers to ancient initiates, shamans, mystics, and those who crossed thresholds in traditions such as Eleusis, where ritual, elders, preparation, and community helped turn crisis into transformation. Without such support, she argues, the same experience can leave a person isolated or broken. She also compares experiencer testimony to pain in medicine, saying that even when the cause cannot be proven externally, the lived experience still deserves recognition, compassion, and care. Holly Ann Wood on Contact, Consciousness, and Safe Spaces Holly Ann Wood, known as “That UAP Girl,” shares her own childhood encounter with three orange orbs near the ancient white horse carved into the chalk hills of Wiltshire. She explains that the experience did not feel random or distant, but present, aware, and interactive. Holly emphasizes that UAP encounters are not only scientific questions, but human ones, affecting people psychologically, emotionally, spiritually, and sometimes physically. She argues that experiencers need safe spaces where they can speak without stigma, process what happened, and realize they are not alone, which led her to create Project Nano as a place to discover, discuss, and disclose these experiences. Richard Monk on High Strangeness and Personal Transformation Richard Monk discusses three unusual experiences from his life that he once saw as separate, but later began to understand as connected through the lens of high strangeness. As a child in 1980, he saw a classic saucer-shaped craft near a cloud while a nearby girl did not see it, raising questions about perception, manifestation, and the relationship between witness and phenomenon. He also describes having an imaginary friend named Nicholas as a child and later learning that imaginary companions sometimes appear in the histories of people who report UAP encounters. Finally, he shares a near-death-like experience involving a profound, loving nothingness that later helped him explore consciousness, the pleroma, and the possibility that these events form part of a deeper personal curriculum. Disclosure, Empathy, and a New Reality The panel discussion turns to how experiencers can help society move toward disclosure. Alan, Meredith, Holly, and Richard discuss whether humanity is going through a collective initiation, whether personal disclosure may matter as much as official disclosure, and how the public can learn to acknowledge experiences without needing to fully explain them first. Meredith emphasizes that the empathy question can be answered before the ontological question: even if we cannot prove exactly what happened, we can still recognize that someone experienced something meaningful. The episode closes with UAPedia's presentation of its mission as a trusted UAP knowledge hub, bringing together research, testimony, documents, claims, cases, and experiencer perspectives into a more coherent public resource.

New Realities with Alan Steinfeld Beyond the Reality Box, UAP Encounters, Ontological Shock, and the Future of Human Narrative This panel discussion features Whitley Strieber, Dr. Kimberly Engels, and Jeffrey Kripal exploring the profound "meanings and understandings" behind UAP encounters. The conversation shifts focus from government disclosure to the transformative, physical, and ontological impact on the individuals who experience these phenomena. The Physical Baseline and the Burden of Testimony Whitley Strieber emphasizes that the core challenge in understanding UAP encounters is the lack of a recognized "baseline." Despite the public tendency to treat these accounts as jokes or hallucinations, Strieber highlights the undeniable physical trauma and documented anomalies, such as the moving implant in his ear, which he describes as "proof positive" of a physical interaction. Following the publication of his book Communion, Strieber and his wife Anne received approximately 200,000 letters from individuals worldwide. This massive, private archive suggests a "communal work" of experience that intersects with our physical world at a "razor's edge," generating a narrative that humanity has yet to fully articulate. Resisting "Narrative Flattening" Dr. Kimberly Engels argues that society suffers from "epistemic injustice" by forcing experiencer testimony into "reality boxes." This "narrative flattening" occurs when we only listen to parts of a story that fit our pre-existing beliefs, such as the Extraterrestrial or Future Human hypotheses, while discarding "inconvenient" details like time distortions or contact with the dead. She proposes a "layered restorative phenomenology" that moves beyond "belief" and into "participation." This approach honors the profound moral and ethical transformations reported by experiencers, who often emerge with a "post-anthropocentric" worldview and a deep sense of interconnectedness with all life. The Archives of the Impossible and the New Story Jeffrey Kripal, curator of the "Archives of the Impossible" at Rice University, suggests that we are witnessing the breakdown of old cultural and scientific stories. He posits that UAPs, Near-Death Experiences (NDEs), and DMT-induced states may all exist on the same spectrum of "non-dual signals" that blur the boundaries between mind and matter. Kripal argues that the "impossible" is merely a function of our current models, not reality itself. He advocates for a "middle realm" of thought—one that avoids the reductionism of modern science and the moralizing of traditional religion—to allow for a "revelation of reality" where humanity is no longer the apex or center of the universe. The panel concludes that humanity is at a "zero point" or a "reset," where our current understanding of consciousness and physicality is no longer sufficient. By embracing "ontological ambiguity" and the "middle realm," we can move past the shock of the impossible and begin to participate in a multi-dimensional reality that demands a more holistic, interconnected story of what it means to be human.

New Realities with Alan Steinfeld Dr. Diane Hennacy (the inspiration for the Telepathy Tapes) on the Wisdom of Autism & Psychic Mind This interview features neuropsychiatrist Dr. Diane Hennessy, who discusses a revolutionary perspective on autism as a state of heightened consciousness and telepathic potential. She explores the neurobiological "hardware" behind these gifts and proposes that autistic individuals may be leading an evolutionary leap for humanity. The Neurobiology of Heightened Awareness Dr. Hennessy explains that the "autistic" experience is rooted in the heightened activity of three principal brainstem nuclei: the Raphe nuclei (regulating sleep and dream states), the Locus Coeruleus (the fight-or-flight "button" that can expand time perception), and the Substantia Nigra (linking free will to physical movement). In autistic individuals, the neurotransmitters associated with these areas are significantly elevated, creating a permanent state that mirrors the expanded consciousness achieved by advanced meditators or "gurus." However, this internal "race car" intensity often clashes with a physical body that struggles to keep pace, leading to high anxiety and motor challenges. Communication Barriers and the Role of AI A major theme of the discussion is the "discrepancy" between the speed of an autistic mind and the slowness of physical communication. Dr. Hennessy describes current methods like spelling as "crawling when you could win a four-minute mile." She is exploring the use of Artificial Intelligence to assist in communication but warns that we must be careful not to let AI algorithms "make things up" or distort the original intent. The goal is to provide a "voice" to individuals who, like Stephen Hawking, possess immense intellectual gifts—such as synesthesia and perfect pitch—but lack the traditional hardware for self-expression. The "Jane Goodall" Research Philosophy Dr. Hennessy adopts a "lunar" or receptive research style, which she compares to Jane Goodall's field observations. Rather than imposing "solar" analytical rules or forcing subjects to speak, she emphasizes "hanging out" and observing to enter their world. She posits that autistic individuals often function through "entrainment"—where their high-frequency brainwaves can actually upgrade the consciousness of those in their presence. This suggests that the best way to learn from them is not through interrogation, but through quiet, shared presence and "receiving transmissions" without words. The Sedona Ascension Retreat 2026 The interview highlights the upcoming 11th Anniversary Sedona Ascension Retreat (March 20-22, 2026). This event aims to create a "conducive environment" for entrainment, featuring Dr. Hennessy alongside other experts like Dalia Bergorn (mindsight) and Darryl Anka (Bashar). The retreat is designed to help participants activate their own "sixth sense" by being in the presence of gifted savants and learning to tune into higher frequencies of information. Dr. Diane Hennessy's work shifts the narrative of autism from one of "disability" to one of "advanced capability." By understanding the neurobiological basis for their heightened states, she argues that humanity can learn to "tune" its own consciousness, ultimately replacing outdated scientific paradigms with a more integrated, high-frequency understanding of the human mind.

New Realities with Alan Steinfeld Expert on #NDE and Life After Life Raymond Moody - Recreating the ancient Greek Oracles of the Dead Raymond A. Moody Jr.is an American philosopher, psychiatrist, physician and author, most widely known for his books about afterlife. He coined the term near-death experiences or NDE in 1975 with his best-selling book "Life After Life". His research explores personal accounts of subjective phenomena encountered in near-death experiences, particularly those of people who have apparently died but been resuscitated. He has widely published his views on what he terms near-death-experience psychology. Alan Steinfeld's new book is called Making Contact: The New Realities of Extraterrestial Existence: For a copy, go https://www.amazon.com/Making-Contact-Preparing-Realities-Extraterrestrial/dp/1250773946 The book contains original writings by: Linda Moulton Howe, Whitley Strieber Professor John E. Mack, Darryl Anka, Nick Pope, Grant Cameron, Drs. J.J. and Desiree Hurtak, Caroline Cory, Mary Rodwell, Henrietta Weekes. Alan Steinfeld, contributes and curates the collection with 30 years of experience with the subject. The Foreword by George Noory of Coast to Coast AM kicks off the volume with his veteran overview of the need to wake up to the “new realities of extraterrestrial existence. #AlanSteinfeld has been involved with Disclosure since his experiences as a young child. From that time, he realized that the only way for humanity to accept the fact that we are not alone – is to shift our worldview about what we think is possible. In this way, he feels we must transcend the old limitations of our mind and tap into what is beyond mainstream psychology, beyond our education, our religions, and our political ideologies. He feels that Disclosure is “an inside job.” It is only when we wake up to who we really are as galactic beings that the cosmos will come to greet us in our magnificence. #NewRealities From this platform, he has interviewed every top researcher in the UFO field; forming close alliances to such people as John Mack, Budd Hopkins, Richard Dolan, and Linda Moulton Howe. He has also been one the main emcees at Contact in the Desert.
