Wallace Thornhill returns to the show to talk with us about The Electric Universe. We discuss some of the new scientific discoveries and how they relate, their upcoming EU conference in June, the history of the solar system, the electic sun, and how all this relates to consciousness. Also, we lost connection a couple times near the end. I edited out those parts, but the edit isn't perfect, so if it seems things don't flow right a couple of times, that is why.Wallace Thornhill graduated in Physics at Melbourne University in 1964 and began postgraduate studies with Prof. Victor Hopper's upper atmosphere research group. Before entering university, he had been inspired by Immanuel Velikovsky through his controversial best-selling book, Worlds in Collision. Wal experienced first-hand the indifference and sometimes hostility toward a radical challenge to mainstream science. He realized there is no career for a heretic in academia.Wal worked for 11 years with IBM Australia. The later years were spent in the prestigious IBM Systems Development Institute in Canberra, working on the first computer graphics system in Australia. He was the technical support for the computing facilities in the Research Schools at the Australian National University, which gave him excellent access to libraries and scientists there.Wal was initially heavily influenced by the then revolutionary ideas of Immanuel Velikovsky of Princeton. Velikovsky proposed that mankind had been devastated in the past by cosmological events . Wal took these ideas and with his deep knowledge of astronomy and, plasma physics began his own questioning of scientific dogma. Paramount was the place of electro magnetism, as distinct from gravity, in the formation of the universe . This slowly but surely led to his and other colleagues (such as David Talbot, Donald Scott, and Anthony Peratt) questioning such ingrained theories as the big bang, black holes and Einstein's theory of relativity. This group in particular contend that many scientific “proofs “are theory laden or mathematically concocted. An insistence on empirical data from observations and experiments gives their work true integrity.

We sat down with Laird Scranton and John Anthony West at John's home to talk about a whole array of things, starting with what started them on their paths of research, moving into some concepts of reality, Egypt (of course), lost civilizations, and much more. We also discuss the latest incident with Graham Hancock and Zahi Hawass, which if you missed it, Graham recaps here. Laird also drops some bombshells about his upcoming work near the end. We are very grateful to have been able to sit down with both of them, and for John's extensive hospitality. It really was an honor to be able to sit and pick their brains for a few hours.

Mike Clelland and Aaron Gulyas return to the show to continue our conversation about the history of the UFO Phenomenon. This is a different view from the standard history. Mike and Aaron have different angles they see this from, and we try to lay out what is actually there, and take away some of the assumptions and dogma that often finds its way into the UFO subject. We start in the early 1980's and make it about 10 years forward. We discuss various researchers, MJ12, Wild Bill Cooper, Budd Hopkins, Whitley Strieber, Government disinformation, the abduction phenomena, and much more. This is also the first show with our new co-host Luke St. Clair.Mike's website is hiddenexperience.blogspot.com Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This is part one of this interview. Part 2 and 3 should air next month. Chad and Alta Dillard have had some very interesting experiences, and we get into the initial bunch of them here. Personally, I really like their approach to it all, and find the story compelling. I will include their bio below this.Chad & Alta met and married in the early nineties in the city of Little Rock Arkansas. The marriage was one of destiny and as Alta would say, arranged. What they did not know is that from that moment on the couple would partake in a journey into the world of unknown and High Strangeness.From aliens to ghosts, to a shape shifter, from meeting people who have been seen, and some unseen, this is a story for the open minded. In 1995 Chad & Alta experienced their first UFO, a massive sight in Hammond, Louisiana. This experience opened their eyes and led them to the well-known French Quarter in New Orleans where the high strangeness continued.As they tried to take day by day to understand their place and purpose of these unusual events, they met a young lady, a co-worker named Jacqueline. Little did Jacqueline know this would be the most unusual bond of her life. In 1997, a night that would live with them to their last breath, Chad, Alta and Jacqueline were taken from a street corner in the French Quarter. Alta calls this “the night of missing time” where the three have shared their own individual experiences. Everything from Chad's blue being encounter, Alta's blond female interaction, and an implant found in her arm and four digit prints. Their story will take your breath away.The High Strangeness continued when, in 1999, Chad and Alta moved to New Mexico where Chad went face to face with a black eyed adult and other anomalous happenings. The couple moved to Denver, Colorado for their jobs, and found themselves in the middle of the infamous Columbine High School massacrewhich occurred on April 20, 1999.In 2001 the couple found their way to Alabama where Chad works with his dad in the locomotive business. Their stay continues to bring High Strangeness into their lives. The strange encounters continued, or should we say followed them, as they discovered a sasquatch creature, ghosts, red orbs, lizard monkeys and so much more.Chad and Alta encountered their second UFO while driving across Mississippi in 2012 and discovered that one of their family members has had a similar experience. The story gets more and more strange. How does this all play together? Well, they can't be sure, but what they do know is that it has happened . Sit back and listen and Chad and Alta will tell you.2026 Update: Sadly Alta passed away in Oct of 2022. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Keith McCloskey returns to the show to talk about his latest book, The Lighthouse: The Mystery of the Eilan Mor Lighthouse Keepers. In Dcemeber of 1900, 3 lighthouse keepers mysteriously disappeared from a lighthouse on Eilan Mor. We discuss that as well as new information on the Dyatlov Pass Incident. On December 26, 1900, the vessel Hesperus arrived at Eilean Mor in the remote Outer Hebrides with relief lighthouse men and fresh provisions. Staffed by three keepers, the lighthouse had been in operation for a year, but no light had been seen from Eilean Mor for 10 days. Upon arrival, the superintendent, Robert Muirhead, found the lighthouse to be completely deserted, and a subsequent search of the surrounding island failed to show any sign of what happened to the keepers. The last entry in the lighthouse logbook had been made on December 15, and contained a number of strange and distressing entries that offered clues as to the mental state of the men. One was reported to have been crying, while another had become "very quiet." When it was revealed that the men's oilskin coats were missing and the clock in the lighthouse had stopped, inevitable theories surrounding the keepers' fates were soon put forward. These included a giant wave washing them away, murder and suicide by the men themselves, and more esoteric explanations, as Eilean Mor was believed to have mystical properties. This book explores this mysterious and chilling story in depth for the first time and reveals a shocking conclusion. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week is the second part of my interview with the very controversial, Douglas Dietrich. Douglas is a fascinating individual. This interview went over 3 hours, so I am breaking it into 2 parts.

Independent researcher Gary Leckey joins Gary Cocciolillo for a wide-ranging exploration of the patterns connecting consciousness, frequency, nature, technology, and ancient spiritual systems. They discuss Leckey's Harmonic Nexus model, artificial ionospheres and spacecraft shielding, emotional resonance between people, sacred geometry, cymatics, AI, simulation theory, reincarnation, and the possibility that consciousness is reality reflecting through different forms. This conversation moves from speculative physics to mysticism and asks one central question: Are the same underlying patterns repeating through nature, culture, technology, and consciousness?AppleSpotify

Human beings have spent thousands of years attempting to answer the same question through different languages, different religions, different cultures, and different economic systems: “What is worth more than love?” The answer has never been spoken directly because few people want to admit the transaction exists. Yet every society reveals it. Status. Security. Protection. Prestige. Resources. Access. Influence. Proximity to power. Civilizations change. The currencies change. The transaction remains. Which brings us to an uncomfortable possibility. Perhaps the side-piece is not the woman sharing a man. Perhaps the side-piece is love itself. What if emotional exclusivity has quietly become secondary to the benefits attached to the relationship? What if the relationship survives not because intimacy is thriving, but because the exchange remains profitable? This question reaches far beyond gender. It reaches into the architecture of human attachment. Developmental psychology teaches that people often normalize whatever conditions accompanied their earliest experiences of connection. Anthropology demonstrates that mating systems have always been influenced by resource acquisition and social positioning. Neuroscience reveals that intermittent reward schedules can create extraordinarily powerful attachment bonds. Philosophy asks whether desire seeks truth or merely seeks satisfaction. Spiritual traditions question whether attachment to symbols can become a substitute for direct experience. Viewed through that lens, the side-piece economy becomes something far larger than infidelity. It becomes an investigation into the hidden marketplace operating beneath modern intimacy. A marketplace where attention can be exchanged for validation. Sex can be exchanged for security. Access can be exchanged for identity. And self-respect can be exchanged for proximity to a life that appears more valuable than one's own. The most unsettling possibility may not involve the woman sharing the man. The most unsettling possibility is discovering that neither person is actually pursuing love. Both may be pursuing a transaction. One rents admiration. The other rents access. Both call the arrangement a relationship. Tonight we ask a question many people will find difficult to answer honestly: If every external benefit disappeared tomorrow, would the connection remain? Or would the relationship reveal that intimacy was never the product being purchased in the first place?

In this episode of The Right Side, Doug Billings examines a horrifying scandal in Great Britain has shocked the world. But the real story isn't simply about evil people committing evil acts.The real story is about what happens when institutions lose the courage to tell the truth.How did police look away? How did politicians remain silent? How did social workers, bureaucrats, and entire institutions fail to protect innocent children?This story isn't really about Britain. It's about a lesson every nation must learn.Civilizations aren't judged by whether monsters exist. Monsters have always existed. Civilizations are judged by whether good people possess the courage to stop them.the devastating consequences of institutional cowardice, the collapse of trust, and why protecting children must always matter more than protecting organizations, narratives, or political agendas.Truth matters.Courage matters.Leadership matters.And the future of every civilization depends upon whether enough people are willing to defend the innocent before reality forces them to.We're in this together.Believe it.For the Republic!Cheers. #TheRightSide #DougBillings #TruthMatters #CourageMatters #ProtectTheInnocent #LeadershipMatters #WesternCivilization #InstitutionalFailure #FreeSpeech #HumanityIssue #Podcast #ConservativePodcast #NewsAnalysis #CommonSense #ForTheRepublic  #fyp Support the show

This week, we head to the woods. UBC professor of psychology Liane Gabora walks us through the deep tension between creativity and conformity that runs through every institution humans have ever built. Her work on cultural evolution reveals something Darwin never touched: ideas don't survive by competition, they survive by transformation, by honing, by the slow and sacred work of making something raw into something real. We ask why civilizations keep building towers they can't sustain, why originality is worshipped in the past tense and punished in the present, and whether the internet might finally give us the collective memory to stop repeating the oldest mistakes. This is a conversation about what creativity costs, who pays for it, and why the system would rather you just kept quiet.PATREON https://www.patreon.com/c/demystifysciPARADOX LOST PRE-SALE: https://buy.stripe.com/7sY7sKdoN5d29eUdYddEs0bHOMEBREW MUSIC - Check out our new album!Hard Copies (Vinyl): FREE SHIPPING https://demystifysci-shop.fourthwall.com/products/vinyl-lp-secretary-of-nature-everything-is-so-good-hereStreaming:https://secretaryofnature.bandcamp.com/album/everything-is-so-good-herePARADIGM DRIFThttps://demystifysci.com/paradigm-drift-show00:00 Go! 00:04:22 Creativity and Conformity in Tension00:06:49 Bronze Age Collapse and the Cost of Innovation00:13:21 Why Civilizations Keep Destroying Themselves00:25:04 Can Better Thinking Be Taught?00:28:03 Light as a Model for Thought00:50:54 New Ideas Need Protection to Survive00:58:14 Cultural Evolution Is Not Darwinian01:07:42 Why Good Ideas Lose to Bad Systems01:13:03 Why Physics Punishes Originality01:27:24 How to Tell a Breakthrough From a Bad Idea01:42:52 Would Aliens Have Rock and Roll?01:49:19 Creativity as Expanding What's Possible#creativity #physics #conformity #culturalevolution #innovation #philosophy #naturalphilosophy #consciousness #evolution #psychologyMERCH: Rock some DemystifySci gear : https://demystifysci-shop.fourthwall.com/AMAZON: Do your shopping through this link: https://amzn.to/3YyoT98DONATE: https://bit.ly/3wkPqaDSUBSTACK: https://substack.com/@UCqV4_7i9h1_V7hY48eZZSLw@demystifysci RSS: https://anchor.fm/s/2be66934/podcast/rssMAILING LIST: https://bit.ly/3v3kz2S SOCIAL: - Discord: https://discord.gg/MJzKT8CQub- Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/DemystifySci- Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/DemystifySci/- Twitter: https://twitter.com/DemystifySciMUSIC: -Shilo Delay: https://g.co/kgs/oty671

What is (considered, presented as) the highest aspiration of an American – indeed, of mankind…? And, if confronted with the truth, would we heed the warning…? The preparations of the heart in man, and the answer of the tongue, [is] from the LORD. All the ways of a man [are] clean in his own eyes; but the LORD weigheth the spirits. Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established. The LORD hath made all [things] for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil. Every one [that is] proud in heart [is] an abomination to the LORD: [though] hand [join] in hand, he shall not be unpunished. By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the LORD [men] depart from evil. When a man’s ways please the LORD, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him. Better [is] a little with righteousness than great revenues without right. A man’s heart deviseth his way: but the LORD directeth his steps. — Proverbs 16:1-9 KJV Links Videos / Clips [x] = Played Angel and the Badman FULL MOVIE John Wayne – YouTube [x] [22:56–23:49] Inside the Awkward U.S.-Saudi Alliance Against ISIS | Confronting ISIS | FRONTLINE – YouTube The Rest [x] = Mentioned / Discussed [x] Proverbs 16 (KJV) – The preparations of the heart [x] Dystheism – Wikipedia [x] Misotheism – Wikipedia [x] Philippians 2 (KJV) – If [there be] therefore any [x] Romans 5 (KJV) – For when we were yet [x] Donald Trump, Trickster God | The Baffler [x] Matthew 4 (KJV) – Then was Jesus led up [x] Martin Luther King Jr. Day – Wikipedia [x] Martin Luther King Jr. – Wikipedia [x] A More Perfect Union: Rev.

What if you could name the thing tearing America apart?  Benedict Beckeld joined us to  trace a pattern that has played out in every great civilization in history: ancient Greece, Rome, Enlightenment France, Britain, and now America. The more successful a society becomes, the more its own people turn against it. Wealth, safety, and open intellectual space create the exact conditions for a culture to start eating itself alive. Benedict is a writer and philosopher whose work spans contemporary culture, political philosophy, and the philosophy of history. He holds a master's in ancient Greek, Latin, and German, and a PhD in philosophy. His book Western Self-Contempt: Oikophobia and the Decline of Civilizations is the only full-length study of the subject, and the work that brought the term into mainstream conversation. We get into all of it: why universities are ground zero, why intellectuals are the most susceptible, what October 7th has to do with it, whether religion is the antidote, and the uncomfortable historical truth about whether oikophobia has ever actually been reversed. The good news, America is different.  The bad news, the odd are not good. Uderstanding what we're up against is the first step to fighting back.  https://www.benedictbeckeld.com/ Key Quotes "The fact that we until recently only had a word for hating foreigners is itself a sign of oikophobia — it means it's only the hatred of the foreign that we consider worthy of condemning." — Benedict Beckeld "There is nothing so human as taking a good idea too far. We take the potential positive of self-criticism and it becomes a competition about who can be the most self-hating." — Benedict Beckeld "Historically, it has never been reversed. Which is not to say we shouldn't try — and I mean this, because America is unique." — Benedict Beckeld "Imagine if you were sick and didn't know what was going on — you'd be panicked. But if a doctor gave you a diagnosis, you'd say: okay, I know what this is, this is how I treat it. Before this, we were very sick and had no word for it. Now we do." — Polina Rubin "There is a spirit of freedom in America that is unmatched in the world. You say an idea in Europe and people say, are you sure that's wise? You say the same thing here and people say, that's amazing, what can I do to help?" — Benedict Beckeld More Podcasts on Culture: Alll the News that's Fit to Spin with Ashley Rindsberg From Foster Care to Yale with Rob Henderson From America is Evil to American Exceptionalism with Lucy Biggers Why so Many Gen Z's Cant Take a Joke or a Different Opinion   Follow @thecuriousmiddlepod Contact us: thecuriousmiddlepod@gmail.com

This time on Mindrolling, Joseph, Noah, and Raghu explore: Buddhist philosophy on relative truth vs. ultimate truth Feeling the body as an energy field of changing sensations rather than something solidHow one can tend the heart in troubled timesThe manifestations of reactivity that make the heart retract Seeing our reality as a blip in cosmic time Inspiring awe through nature as a way to open and soften the heartThe book Fall of Civilizations by Paul Cooper Balancing the qualities of compassion and equanimity Investigating the phenomena of thinking rather than the content of a thought Lessons on direct experience from the Bāhiya SuttaAbout Joseph Goldstein:Joseph Goldstein has been leading insight and loving-kindness meditation retreats worldwide since 1974. He is a co-founder of the Insight Meditation Society in Barre, Massachusetts, where he is one of the organization's guiding teachers. In 1989, together with several other teachers and students of insight meditation, he helped establish the Barre Center for Buddhist Studies.“At those times, you're stronger on the compassion side and less strong on the equanimity side. When you see that, that can be a good reminder: ‘Oh yeah, this is what's happening; I need to go out and look at the stars'. We need both. Either one by itself can tend to states that may not be that helpful.” –Joseph GoldsteinAbout Noah Markus:Noah Markus is a content curator & archivist for Love Serve Remember Foundation. He spends his time curating Ram Dass content for podcasts, courses, and much more.

From about the middle of the first millennium of the Common Era through to the fifteenth century, Southeast Asian societies underwent a political transformation that produced the first, early states that were the forerunners of the countries we know today as Myanmar, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, and Vietnam. Dougald O'Reilly's Empires of the Southern Ocean: Early Civilizations of Mainland and Insular Southeast Asia (Bloomsbury Academic, 2026), tells the complicated story of the development of these earlier polities from ‘chiefdoms' to more complex states. The book highlights the role of local factors in the rise of these states, as well as the influence of early Southeast Asia's participation in long-distance trade networks in the Indian Ocean and the South China Sea.

We welcome back John Ward as we discuss John Dee, Magick, Occultism, John's Haunted House, UFO's and more... Dr. John Ward is an archaeologist and anthropologist residing in Luxor, Egypt. Over the years, Dr. Ward has conducted numerous investigations of ancient Egyptian architecture and symbolism, while also carrying out research into the many mysteries surrounding medieval Templarism. With the help of his partner, Dr. Maria Nilsson, John has managed to track the use of particular symbols through the various dynasties and the geography of ancient Egypt leading all the way into the present, with similar threads even extending into parts of Western Europe. The symbols that John and Maria have come to recognize play a very important and integral role, based from their studies, regarding ancient Egyptian life. It is through these symbols that they are driven with the passion to continue their work, which has enabled them not only to develop a greater understanding of the various cultures they study, but also to utilize and acknowledge the importance and sanctity of the symbols. These are aspects which, John argues, still remain largely unknown to mainstream academia. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week's guest is David Carr. David will be discussing the mystery of Coral Castle. He is working on a book that will encompass this subject and some others, and we briefly discuss that as well. In David's words; While visiting Coral Castle, during the winter solstice of 2005, the intention was to investigate the entire site in search for any clues of how the building process was accomplished. The reason for the trip to Coral Castle, out of all the great sites in a reasonable distance, Edward Leedskalnin is the only person in our modern era to claim he knew how the pyramids in Egypt were built and left behind the evidence to prove it. Before the thought of visiting Coral Castle hours of online research was spent on Leedskalnin and the book he had written entitled Magnetic Current. At the time in 2005 there wasn't as much information available on the internet but whatever could be located was taken into consideration before the trip. There were quite a few theories on how he accomplished his mysterious building methods but no one has yet to actually demonstrate how it was done from beginning to end. Some have attempted on a smaller level but still to this day not one single person has accomplished the building feats on the scale of Coral Castle.
