New Realities with Alan Steinfeld Disclosure Day, Higher Frequencies, and the Threshold of a New Human Reality Guests, Dr. J.J. Hurtak and Dr. Desiree Hurtak, Linda Moulton Howe Spielberg's Disclosure Day Opens a Bigger Conversation In this episode of New Realities, host Alan Steinfeld gathers a panel to review Steven Spielberg's newly released film Disclosure Day. Alan is joined by longtime UFO investigator Linda Moulton Howe, along with Dr. J.J. Hurtak and Dr. Desiree Hurtak, who bring perspectives from UFO research, consciousness studies, spirituality, ancient texts, and the wider disclosure movement. Alan frames the film as perhaps one of the most anticipated cinematic events in modern UFO culture, because it deals not simply with science fiction, but with the possibility that humanity is being prepared for a deeper truth about non-human intelligence. Frequencies, Clicking Sounds, and Consciousness Communication Linda Moulton Howe begins by emphasizing the importance of frequency in the film. She connects Spielberg's use of clicking sounds and nonverbal communication to government documents, abduction cases, and reports she has heard from experiencers over decades of research. Dr. J.J. Hurtak also highlights the film's treatment of language, sound, and consciousness, contrasting it with Close Encounters of the Third Kind, where communication was centered more on tones and music. In Disclosure Day, the panel says Spielberg brings in the human element more fully, suggesting that extraterrestrial contact may involve mind-to-mind communication, frequency, empathy, and higher consciousness rather than ordinary speech alone. From Science Fiction to a Disclosure Bridge Alan and the panel repeatedly stress that they do not see Disclosure Day as merely another science fiction movie. They argue that Spielberg has gathered decades of UFO, UAP, consciousness, government secrecy, telepathy, cover-up, and experiencer material into a film that functions as a bridge between old disbelief and a new cultural acceptance. Alan says Spielberg seems to have been a serious student of the phenomenon, including many familiar themes from UFO research: government secrecy, private industry involvement, recovered craft, mind control, empathy, and the question of whether the public has a right to know. Government, Corporations, and the Machinery of Secrecy A major part of the discussion focuses on the film's depiction of government secrecy and private industry. Alan references the fictional corporation Wardex, which is tied to retrieval and extraction programs, and connects that to real-world claims associated with figures such as Lieutenant Colonel Philip J. Corso. Linda and the Hurtaks discuss how governments may have transferred recovered technologies or sensitive programs into corporate hands to create plausible deniability. Linda traces this secrecy back to World War II and Eisenhower-era briefings, while Alan says the film dramatizes the tension between those who hide the truth and those who believe humanity has a right to know. Fear, Love, and the Human Right to the Truth The panel describes the film as a contest between fear-based secrecy and the higher message of empathy, love, and transcendence. Alan says humanity is caught between fear and higher consciousness, and that the film presents empathy as a key to humanity's future. Linda is especially moved by the final minutes, saying she felt empathy not only for extraterrestrials but also for humanity, because people have not been told the truth as a species. The panel agrees that disclosure should not merely be informational; it should be transformational, helping humans understand themselves as part of a larger cosmic family. Religion, Creation, and the Many Mansions of the Universe The film's spiritual themes are also central to the panel's review. Alan, Linda, and the Hurtaks discuss the Catholic sister character in the film, who recognizes that the universe is too vast to exist only for humanity. They connect this idea to the Book of Genesis, Christ consciousness, the New Testament phrase about “many mansions,” ancient Coptic and Greek texts, and the idea that creation includes many levels of life and intelligence. Rather than seeing extraterrestrial intelligence as opposed to spirituality, the panel presents it as part of a larger divine creation story in which humanity must expand its understanding of soul, consciousness, and cosmic purpose. What Spielberg Shows — and What He Leaves for Later The group praises Spielberg's restraint but also discusses what the film does not fully show. Linda says she wished Spielberg had introduced more kinds of non-human intelligences, including tall whites, Nordics, reptilians, plasma beings, and other forms she has encountered through witness testimony. Alan suggests Spielberg may be taking the public slowly by first introducing one or two categories of extraterrestrial presence before expanding into a wider range of beings. The panel agrees that the film is likely only the beginning of a broader cultural process and that future films, government releases, or public disclosures may reveal a more complicated landscape. Disclosure, Timing, and a Planet Under Pressure The panel repeatedly asks why this film and this moment are happening now. Linda suggests the timing may relate to future geophysical changes, solar activity, rising oceans, environmental instability, and the possibility that extraterrestrial assistance may become necessary for humanity's survival. Alan connects the timing to recent government disclosures and the public release of UFO/UAP information, while Dr. J.J. Hurtak frames the moment as a sociological, psychological, economic, planetary, and spiritual convergence. The group agrees that humanity is being prepared for contact because the old reality is no longer sufficient. The Soul, Empathy, and the Next Stage of Humanity A major theme in the latter part of the program is the soul. Linda shares memories from childhood of feeling a protective pressure in her chest while looking at an image of Christ with lambs, a feeling she still associates with soul, protection, and love. Dr. J.J. Hurtak describes the soul as the inner architecture of life, a field of consciousness that continues beyond the body. Dr. Desiree Hurtak adds that different beings may have different levels of soul evolution, and that humanity is learning to access abilities such as remote viewing, telepathy, and higher-dimensional awareness. Alan says these gifts of the spirit may allow humans to meet non-human intelligences on a more equal footing. “Listen”: The Word at the Doorway The panel gives special attention to the film's final message: listen. They interpret the word as a call to listen to extraterrestrials, higher intelligence, divine purpose, inner senses, compassion, and one another. For Dr. J.J. Hurtak, this connects to sacred language and the ancient call to hear the divine frequency. Alan sees Spielberg's film as a “signifying agent,” a cultural bridge that helps people move from an old reality into new realities. The episode closes with a shared prayer from Linda, “May the thought that dwells in the light protect us forever,” followed by Alan's disclosure-themed song, “Did You See It?”, which he presents as an anthem for this new moment.

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.

On this episode of Talking Shop I'm joined by Alain Bejjani—former Group CEO of Middle East retail giant Majid Al Futtaim, and author of the definitive new book, NEXT: Leading Through the New Realities. Drawing on his childhood in war-torn Beirut, and his experience steering a $9.5bn dollar retail and lifestyle empire through a global pandemic, Alain brings an unmatched perspective on leadership under pressure. Today, we break down his crisis survival playbook for retailers operating in distress. We discuss why resilience must always outpace efficiency, the four assets a brand must protect at all costs, and how to turn macro-turmoil into a long-term direction that scales.

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.

“We are not living in a dead universe. We are living inside a field of consciousness—and we are just beginning to remember.” - Alan Steinfeld What if everything you thought you knew about reality… was only one layer?In this expansive and thought-provoking episode of Gateways to Awakening, Yasmeen Turayhi sits down with researcher, author, and founder of New Realities, Alan Steinfeld, to explore one of the most fascinating and misunderstood topics of our time: UFOs, extraterrestrial intelligence, and the evolving nature of human consciousness.Together, they unpack the history of the phenomenon—from Roswell to modern-day whistleblowers—and explore why conversations around disclosure are accelerating globally. But beyond the headlines, this conversation goes deeper into what may be the real story: not just extraterrestrial contact, but a fundamental shift in how we understand consciousness itself.Alan shares insights on the intersection of UFO phenomena, telepathy, remote viewing, and non-local awareness, offering a perspective that challenges the traditional materialist view of reality. Yasmeen brings her own lens of intuition, multidimensional awareness, and energetic intelligence, bridging the conversation into the realms of embodiment, knowing, and inner perception.This episode also explores:The difference between thinking and knowing—and why it mattersWhy fear of the unknown has been conditioned into usThe role of dreams, creativity, and altered states in accessing higher intelligenceThe connection between consciousness, extraterrestrial contact, and human evolutionWhat “disclosure” might actually mean—and why it is as much internal as it is externalThroughout the conversation, a deeper theme emerges: that humanity is not separate from the phenomena we are observing. We are part of it.As Alan shares, the universe is not something happening outside of us—it is something we are actively participating in.This is not just a conversation about UFOs.It is a conversation about who we are, what we are capable of, and what becomes possible when we move beyond fear… and into awareness.Tune in to Gateways to Awakening for more conversations with leading thinkers, creators, and spiritual pioneers shaping the future of consciousness. We would love to hear from you!

Martin "Marty" Strong is a former Navy SEAL, business leader, and author who challenges conventional thinking about how companies — and their leaders — must operate in a rapidly changing world. He is currently the co-founder and CEO of the Warrior's Haven USA Foundation. Over two decades as a SEAL, Marty led 36 special operations missions in high-stakes, unpredictable environments where adaptability was essential. He later brought that same mindset to the private sector, including eight years as a portfolio manager serving high-net-worth clients at UBS. Drawing on both experiences, Marty argues that past success can become a hidden liability. Too many leaders rely on methods that once worked, without recognizing that the marketplace has fundamentally changed. The result: decisions based on outdated assumptions rather than current realities. As Marty explains, it's like using an old encyclopedia to solve modern problems — confident, but dangerously misinformed. In this conversation, Marty shares how leaders can recognize when their thinking has become rigid, develop intellectual humility, and build organizations that are nimble enough to adapt before disruption forces their hand. Marty is the author of three Amazon bestselling books on leadership, strategy, and innovation: Be Different: How Navy SEALs and Entrepreneurs Bend, Break, or Ignore the Rules to Get Results!   https://amzn.to/4mGdi3M Be Visionary: Strategic Leadership in the Age of Optimization https://amzn.to/3QaQLjv  Be Nimble: How the Creative Navy SEAL Mindset Wins on the Battlefield and in Business   https://amzn.to/48XnLlv Monday Morning Radio is hosted by the father-son duo of Dean and Maxwell Rotbart.

This week on the GeekWire Podcast, a week of Seattle-area startup news shows how the AI era is reshaping the regional tech scene. Q1 venture numbers reveal bigger checks going to fewer companies, with Seattle slipping behind the likes of Austin and Miami on deal volume. And yet the distributed nature of modern startups is complicating what it even means to be a regional tech hub. (Does a mailbox in Pioneer Square really count as a Seattle headquarters?) Founders and CEOs are navigating the shakeout in different ways. Those with enough cash in the bank are eyeing strategic acquisitions, including opportunities to absorb startups caught up in the AI shakeout. Meanwhile, many startup leaders are completely rethinking how they hire and expand. More than a third of the GeekWire 200, our ranking of the top Pacific Northwest startups, saw year-over-year employment declines, as agents boost individual productivity and start to reshape the workforce. Plus: Andy Jassy's shareholder letter signals Amazon is making bets again, in areas including chips and robotics. Driving home the point, the tech giant's ambitious Globalstar acquisition effectively means it's inheriting Apple's satellite roadmap. And of course we have to talk about Allbirds. The sustainable shoe brand, which once challenged Amazon over knock-off sneakers, pivoted to AI infrastructure and saw its stock soar. In our final segment, a trivia challenge on the No. 1 companies in GeekWire 200 history.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.

International Conference “Jewish Immigration from Eastern Europe to Israel and Germany in the Light of the War in Ukraine (1991-2025). Narratives, Memory and Identity Formation” December 2025 in Munich. The Russian full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022 has triggered one of the largest refugee crises in recent European history. Over 1.2 million Ukrainian citizens have received temporary protection in Germany, while a significant number of refugees—Jewish or of Jewish origin—have also sought refuge in Israel and received citizenship under the Law of Return. The experiences of Ukrainian Jews in the wake of the war offer an important lens through which to examine broader patterns of Jewish migration from Eastern Europe over the past four decades. This two-day interdisciplinary conference, organized by the Leonid Nevzlin Research Center for Russian and East European Jewry at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, the Leibnitz Center for Contemporary History Potsdam and the Center for Israel Studies at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität in Munich, aims to juxtapose two pivotal periods of Jewish migration to Israel and Germany—the post-Soviet 1990s and the post-2022 Ukrainian crisis. By bringing together scholars from the humanities and social sciences, the conference seeks to enrich our understanding of the shifting meanings of Jewish belonging, displacement, and diaspora in the 21st century. Through historical, sociological, and cultural analyses, we aim to build a comparative framework for analyzing Jewish migration in the context of political rupture, memory politics, and transnational identity formation.

This week, Thomas sits down with celebrated speaker, posthumanist thinker, poet, teacher, and author, Bayo Akomolafe, for a philosophical and spiritual exploration into how we understand reality and the radical perception shifts and awakenings that are necessary for true social transformation to become possible.In his uniquely poetic way, Bayo interrogates traditional solutions to social and ecological problems that only uphold harmful norms, and offers that real change is brought about through what he calls “cracks”—disruptions to systems and modes of thinking that inspire new ideas instead of trying to bring about change via the ineffective paths that are already built into our failing social structures.He and Thomas discuss the discomfort that comes with ushering in new realities, and how important it is that we lean in to this uncomfortable uncertainty, embrace radical compassion, and rethink our relationship to the more-than-human world.✨ Watch the video version of this episode on YouTube:

On this episode of the Debtwire Municipals Muni Lowdown podcast, Managing Editor Paul Greaves speaks with public finance expert Liz Farmer about the shifting realities facing state and local budgets.Liz begins by outlining what feels stable—and what feels newly uncertain—as governments enter another budget cycle. From there, she unpacks how rapid federal policy shifts and more assertive federal actions are reshaping the planning environment for states and municipalities.Paul and Liz then explore the growing impact of geopolitical tensions on local finances, including supply‑chain pressures, energy‑related cost spikes, and the ripple effects these create for capital projects and service delivery.They zoom out to examine the broader forces redefining public budgeting—from demographic changes to rising service costs, climate‑driven spending, and other structural trends that deserve far more attention.Liz closes the episode with a forward‑looking take on what state and local leaders should be preparing for in the year ahead—and the under‑discussed risks and opportunities that could matter most for long‑term fiscal resilience.

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.

Consciousness researcher Alan Steinfeld explains why expanded awareness and remote viewing may hold the secret to connecting with non-human intelligence in episode 234 of the Far Out with Faust podcast.Alan Steinfeld is a researcher, educator, and media host focused on consciousness, non-human intelligence, and the nature of contact beyond conventional scientific models. He is the creator and host of  @newrealities a long-running interview series featuring leading voices in consciousness studies, spirituality, and UFO research. Steinfeld is also the author of Making Contact: Preparing for the New Realities of Extraterrestrial Existence, which explores how expanded awareness may shape humanity's understanding of contact.In this conversation, Faust and Alan Steinfeld move beyond standard disclosure debates to examine whether contact with non-human intelligence is less about government revelations and more about perception itself. Steinfeld describes the growing sense of disclosure fatigue and argues that the phenomenon may not conform to political timelines or institutional control. He walks Faust through a live remote viewing exercise, using it as a practical demonstration of non-local perception and how information may be accessed outside conventional sensory limits. Rather than treating contact as a future announcement or external event, the discussion reframes it as an experiential process — raising deeper questions about awareness, agency, and what it actually means to be ready for contact.In this episode:

New Realities with Alan Steinfeld Making Contact with UFO Experiencers

Thanks for being present with me for the conversation today as dig into the subject of UFO's or as they are being rebranded now UAP- unidentified anomalous phenomena. UFO's are having a resurgence of interest since the government hearings in September of 2025. These hearings were held by the House Oversight Committee's Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets and was titled "Restoring Public Trust Through UAP Transparency and Whistleblower Protection". There were key witnesses to UFO activity from credible sources like US Air Force veterans. To explore this topic further and find out new information I'm visiting with Alan Steinfeld author of Making Contact who has been writing and studying UFO phenomena for over 30 years. I don't believe we are alone in this infinite universe do you? Making Contact- Preparing for New Realities of Extraterrestrial Existence Learn more about your ad choices.

DCF Trends Summit 2025 Session Recap As the data center industry accelerates into an AI-driven expansion cycle, the fundamentals of site selection and investment are being rewritten. In this session from the Data Center Frontier Trends Summit 2025, Ed Socia of datacenterHawk moderated a discussion with Denitza Arguirova of Provident Data Centers, Karen Petersburg of PowerHouse Data Centers, Brian Winterhalter of DLA Piper, Phill Lawson-Shanks of Aligned Data Centers, and Fred Bayles of Cologix on how power scarcity, entitlement complexity, and community scrutiny are reshaping where—and how—data centers get built. A central theme of the conversation was that power, not land, now drives site selection. Panelists described how traditional assumptions around transmission timelines and flat electricity pricing no longer apply, pushing developers toward Tier 2 and Tier 3 markets, power-first strategies, and closer partnerships with utilities. On-site generation, particularly natural gas, was discussed as a short-term bridge rather than a permanent substitute for grid interconnection. The group also explored how entitlement processes in mature markets have become more demanding. Economic development benefits alone are no longer sufficient; jurisdictions increasingly expect higher-quality design, sensitivity to surrounding communities, and tangible off-site investments. Panelists emphasized that credibility—earned through experience, transparency, and demonstrated follow-through—has become essential to securing approvals. Sustainability and ESG considerations remain critical, but the discussion took a pragmatic view of scale. Meeting projected data center demand will require a mix of energy sources, with renewables complemented by transitional solutions and evolving PPA structures. Community engagement was highlighted as equally important, extending beyond environmental metrics to include workforce development, education, and long-term social investment. Artificial intelligence added another layer of complexity. While large AI training workloads can operate in remote locations, monetized AI applications increasingly demand proximity to users. Rapid hardware cycles, megawatt-scale racks, and liquid-cooling requirements are driving more modular, adaptable designs—often within existing data center portfolios. The session closed with a look at regional opportunity and investor expectations, with markets such as Pennsylvania, Alabama, Ohio, and Oklahoma cited for their utility relationships and development readiness. The overarching conclusion was clear: the traditional data center blueprint still matters—but power strategy, flexibility, and authentic community integration now define success.

What really changed in the points and miles world this year—and how should that shape your strategy going forward?   In part two of our 2025 Year in Review, Kelly and I continue breaking down one of the most transformative years we've seen in award travel. Beyond rising annual fees and tightening loyalty programs, this year revealed deeper structural shifts in how airlines price awards, who gets access to the best redemptions, and what flexibility actually looks like going forward.   We dig into the continued expansion of dynamic pricing—and why it isn't always the disaster it's made out to be. You'll hear real examples of when dynamic pricing has increased access and value, along with why moments of program change can sometimes be the best time to book.   We also explore how airlines are reshaping award access around status and cardholder loyalty in ways that go far beyond free bags or early boarding. For the first time, elite status and co-branded cards are directly impacting award availability, pricing, and even whether certain premium cabins can be booked at all.   We wrap it all up by zooming out to talk about what all of this means for 2026 and beyond—how transferable points are evolving, why diversification matters more than ever, and how to think strategically about status in a landscape that's clearly shifting.   If you enjoyed part one of our year in review, this conversation brings the full picture into focus.   Get full show notes and transcript: https://pointmetofirstclass.com/2025-points-miles-year-in-review-part-2/    Want to shape the show?

In this episode of The Chad and Cheese Podcast, hosts Joel Cheesman and Chad Sowash roll out the welcome mat for Marc Effron, the big cheese at Talent Strategy Group and coauthor of One Page Talent Management. The trio dives headfirst into the wild jungle of talent management, where CEOs and HR are apparently playing a bad game of telephone. Marc dishes on why HR processes need a simplicity makeover—like swapping War and Peace-length forms for a Post-it note. He spills the tea on why companies fumble employee development, the dire need to throw some cash at talent, and how generational quirks make managing folks feel like herding cats. Plus, they riff on HR's quest to actually get what the business wants and adapt to the workplace's new normal, all while dodging corporate chaos.

This week on the GeekWire Podcast, we discuss how AI is transforming our local tech giants, changing the fundamental nature of work, and blurring the lines between human and machine. We dive into the memo that has Amazon employees either signing up for AI training or updating their resumes; unpack why you're answering emails at 10 p.m.; and explain how one of us ended up quizzing his dentist's office assistant (or was it an AI chatbot?) about whether he or she (or it?) was human. Then we ask the new Alexa+ what it (she?) thinks about the exchange.

Chinese overseas development finance is unrecognizable from what it was just a few years ago. After suffering tens of billions of dollars in losses, Chinese lenders have moved to de-risk their lending to countries in Africa, Asia, and across the Global South. Instead of those once massive bilateral loans from the two main policy banks in Beijing, Chinese lending now encompasses a much more diverse array of actors, particularly in Africa. This new approach was on full display last month when Kenya closed a deal with a consortium of Chinese stakeholders to finance the extension of the Standard Gauge Railway from the current terminus in the Rift Valley to the Ugandan border. A third of the cost to build the new railway will be paid for by the Kenyan government, around another third will be comprised of a consortium of Chinese investors, and the rest will be financed with loans from the China Exim Bank. Yunan Chen, a research fellow at ODI Global in London, and Teal Emery, an adjunct lecturer at Johns Hopkins SAIS in Washington, D.C., join Eric & Cobus to discuss their new report, which breaks down the latest trends in Chinese development finance, and to explain why the deal in Kenya should serve as a case study for other African borrowers.

The salient point of today's discussion centers on the imperative for enhanced leadership training within the Roman Catholic Church, particularly for clergy. My esteemed guest, Bernadette Kime, who boasts over two decades of leadership experience in the Church and recently earned her PhD in instructional management and leadership, articulates the critical need for equipping church leaders with the requisite skills to navigate the complexities of their roles. We delve into the dichotomy of spiritual guidance versus administrative responsibilities that priests must balance, and the challenges posed by inadequate formal training in seminaries. Moreover, Bernadette shares her insights on the importance of mentorship and the need for clergy to embrace a mindset open to change and adaptation in response to the evolving demands of their congregations.
