Podcasts about perceptual studies

My guest is Dr. Marina Weiler, a neuroscientist and Assistant Professor of Psychiatry and Neurobehavioral Sciences at the University of Virginia's Division of Perceptual Studies, also known as DOPS. DOPS is one of the few academic research units in the world dedicated to exploring questions at the very frontier of science and spirituality—questions like: What happens when we die? Does consciousness exist beyond the brain? And how do we rigorously study phenomena often dismissed as “paranormal”? With her background in medical sciences and neuroscience, Dr. Weiler brings both a skeptical eye and an open mind to this work. Together, we'll explore how DOPS approaches the scientific study of near-death and out-of-body experiences, the survival of consciousness after death, and even reported cases of reincarnation. This is a conversation that pushes us to the edge of what we know—and what we think we know—about mind, memory, and the mysteries of being human. Join us as we get rebelliously curious.

Philip J. Cozzolino is an Associate Professor of Research in the Division of Perceptual Studies at the University of Virginia School of Medicine. Philip received his Ph.D. in Psychology from the University of Minnesota in 2006 and spent 17 years at the University of Essex in the United Kingdom prior to joining DOPS.Philip's research explores how individuals seek meaning in life, with a particular focus on the positive psychological consequences of death awareness. Inspired by evidence from DOPS-generated research into near-death experiences, Philip is responsible for a psychological model that links healthy and honest considerations of human mortality to increased well-being, heightened desires for self-direction, and more authentic living. His work has been covered in the ‘Huffington Post', ‘Psychology Today', ‘Scientific American', ‘BBC Radio 4' and has generated research from numerous psychologists around the world.At DOPS, Philip's initial focus will be on investigating – and elucidating processes related to – reports of past-life memories from children around the world.Research Interests:Near-death experiencesChildren reporting past-life memoriesPsychological consequences of mortality awarenessOut-of-body experienceshttps://med.virginia.edu/perceptual-studies/dops-staff/philip-cozzolino-phd/ https://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/https://www.patreon.com/ourparanormalafterlifeMy book 'Verified Near Death Experiences' https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXKRGDFP Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Dr. Bernard Beitman graduated from Mount Pleasant High School in Wilmington, Delaware in 1960 at #5 Grade Point Average. He majored in Chemistry at Swarthmore College and was one of two outstanding pre-medical students. He attended Yale Medical School graduating in 1964. He did his one-year general medicine internship at Mount Zion Medical Center in San Francisco and then completed the three-year psychiatric residency at Stanford in 1974 after working in the U.S Public Health Service Hospital in San Francisco from 1971-1973 as the hospital's psychiatrist.He then joined the faculty of the department of psychiatry at the University of Washington in Seattle. After ten years there he was denied tenure and then joined the faculty at the University of Missouri-Columbia, where he became a world leader in the study of chest pain and panic disorder which led to his becoming chair of the psychiatry department. (A door closes, and a big window opens.) Building on his book The Structure of Individual Psychotherapy, he created the book Learning Psychotherapy which was taught to half the psychiatric residency training programs in the United States. In 2006 he started formal research into coincidences and then, in 2009, moved to Charlottesville, Virginia, to join the Division of Perceptual Studies of the University of Virginia, which supported his coincidence work as a non-paid faculty member. As a “recovering academic,” he led the development of The Coincidence Project.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/next-level-soul-podcast-with-alex-ferrari--4858435/support.

00:00:00 – Cold Open, Clips & Chaos Loose intro, tech hiccups, and a fast pivot into “clips of the week,” featuring a barrage of Alex Jones soundbites (old gravelly vs. current voice), plus a quick, context-free Trump clip to set the show's tone. 00:10:00 – “It's All Happening” & Bankruptcy Theater Speculation that sheriff's deputies could seize Alex Jones/Infowars gear “as early as tomorrow,” with riffs on the supposed value of studio computers and Jones' knack for rebooting operations overnight. 00:20:00 – Area 51 Double-Header: Gunfire & a “Mysterious Aircraft” Two back-to-back incidents near Area 51/Creech/Nellis spark theories: contamination and an escape attempt, witness suppression by “making him look erratic,” or a PSYOP stress test to coordinate base responses. Hosts play a local TV hit about a drone/aircraft “incident” and connect dots with humor (and rock-lifting dares at the gate). 00:30:00 – Hollywood vs. Synthetic Stars Debate over an “AI actress” getting agent attention and a producer touting a film “helmed” by a virtual director; SAG-AFTRA pushback; the hosts argue audiences still want human experience—even if cartoons/CG are beloved. They predict an “AI first hit, then bust” cycle. 00:40:00 – Pets: Love, Debt, and Domestic Diplomacy A sobering segment on pet costs (lifetime cat/dog totals), “pet poverty,” and the real logistics of blending a dog-and-cat household; one story has a couple divorcing over warring pets. Personal anecdotes, math-y back-of-the-napkin costs, and hard-won advice. 00:50:00 – What Happens After We Die? (UVA's DOPS) Deep dive into UVA's Division of Perceptual Studies: near-death experience patterns (tunnels, life review, veridical O.R. details under anesthesia), cultural lenses, and lingering unknowns because…consciousness itself remains unsolved. 01:00:00 – Space Rocks, Nukes, and the Wow Signal An asteroid with a small chance of hitting the Moon in 2032 prompts “nuke it?” jokes and movie throwbacks (Deep Impact/Armageddon), while Avi Loeb's musing ties 3I/ATLAS to the 1977 “Wow!” signal—fun, provocative speculation. 01:10:00 – Fat Bear Season & Aisle 9: Bear Animal news palate cleanser: Fat Bear Week hype (why bulking matters before hibernation) and a baby bear wandering into an Arizona grocery store—equal parts cute and chaotic. (Video described; no injuries.) 01:20:00 – Pumpkin Spice Cabal They uncover Starbucks' “Leaf Rakers Society,” a private, all-things-autumn fan group with a tongue-in-cheek “secret handshake,” and riff about seasonal cult vibes, memes, and moderators keeping things squeaky clean. 01:30:00 – Local Roads, Bad Choices Ohio highway anecdotes and viral clips: drivers stopping in live lanes to force last-second exits; ODOT scolding; a reminder to “take the next exit” instead of causing carnage. 01:40:00 – Night-Snack Science: What Not to Eat Before Bed From aged cheeses (tyramine → stress hormones) to salty chips and sugar bombs, they run a late-night food blacklist with comedic “bedtime steak” and cereal confessions—and why those choices sabotage sleep. 01:50:00 – Sleep Killers, Continued More don'ts (donuts, spicy foods, soda, etc.), wrapped in escalating bits about in-bed snacking disasters and derailed diets—plus one last Alex-style rant cameo for good measure. 02:00:00 – Wind-Down & Housekeeping Quick recap, moderation jokes (“in moderation, my guy”), thanks to listeners, site/merch housekeeping, and a sign-off that hints at more weird news next time.

Singer-songwriter Noah Cyrus talks about her haunting new album inspired by a hymn written by her great-grandfather, and her deepest fear—not death itself, but being separated from her loved ones. She also opens up about her near-death experience and the profound losses that shaped her experience with love and grief. Joining her is Dr. Kim Penberthy of UVA's Division of Perceptual Studies, whose research into near-death experiences and after-death communication offers a fascinating look at what may await us beyond life.

In this episode of Preconceived, Zale discusses the phenomenon of Past Life Memories (PLMs) with Marietta Pehlivanova, a research assistant professor at the University of Virginia's Division of Perceptual Studies. The conversation primarily focuses on children who recount having memories of past lives. Marietta explains the research approaches, highlights compelling cases, and discusses the challenges of verifying these memories. The episode delves into specific cases, such as that of a young boy with detailed and verifiable memories of a past life. Are such memories real, and if so, what do they reveal about alternate realities and past lives?

What if everything you thought you knew about consciousness and the afterlife was about to be turned upside down? Join host Simon Bown on a riveting journey into the unknown in this episode of Our Paranormal Afterlife: Finding Proof of Life After Death, where we delve deep into the scientific evidence that suggests there may be more to our existence than meets the eye.In a captivating conversation with Stephen Hawley Martin, author of Afterlife: The Whole Truth, Second Edition, we explore groundbreaking insights from quantum physics and compelling documented phenomena, such as the extraordinary deathbed recoveries of individuals who seemed lost to consciousness. Martin presents a provocative argument that consciousness is not merely a byproduct of brain function but a non-material aspect of our reality, challenging long-held scientific beliefs. His personal anecdotes, including poignant moments with his grandmother before her passing, serve as powerful illustrations of the mysteries surrounding consciousness after death.Listeners will be fascinated as we discuss the pioneering research from the University of Virginia's Division of Perceptual Studies, which investigates near-death experiences and the intriguing accounts of children recalling past life memories. These insights into consciousness not only expand our understanding of life after death but also raise questions about the very nature of our existence. We also touch upon the captivating phenomena of psychokinesis and remote viewing, as well as transplant cases where recipients exhibit traits reminiscent of their donors, further blurring the lines between life and death.This episode of Our Paranormal Afterlife: Finding Proof of Life After Death is a must-listen for anyone interested in exploring the afterlife, as we unravel the layers of spirituality and health, alternative health perspectives, and the profound implications of personal near-death stories. Join us on this extraordinary journey into the paranormal as we seek evidence of the afterlife and share fascinating paranormal experiences that challenge our understanding of reality.BioBestselling author Stephen Hawley Martin has had a half dozen titles achieve bestseller status on Amazon.com and is the only three-time winner of the Writer's Digest Book Award, having won first prize twice for fiction and once for nonfiction.

What if death isn't the end but a doorway to something far greater? Dr. Bruce Greyson, M.D. (author of After, Chester Carlson Professor Emeritus of Psychiatry at the University of Virginia, and co-founder of the International Association for Near-Death Studies) shares the near-death experience (NDE) that shattered his medical skepticism and launched decades of consciousness research. A Distinguished Life Fellow of the American Psychiatric Association, Greyson explores astonishing cases of tunnel visions, otherworldly reunions, and the powerful, peer-reviewed scientific evidence for life after death. Could it be that consciousness exists outside the brain? Discover why many say NDEs eliminate the fear of dying, trigger lifelong transformation, and may even unlock hidden psychic abilities. Plus: the surprising connection between trauma, psychedelics, and reincarnation science—and what it all reveals about what happens after we die. Dr. Bruce Greyson's book, After: A Doctor Explores What Near-Death Experiences Reveal about Life and Beyond: https://www.brucegreyson.com/after-a-doctor-explores-what-near-death-experiences-reveal-about-life-and-beyond/ The Division of Perceptual Studies at the University of Virginia: http://med.virginia.edu/perceptual-studies The International Association for Near-Death Studies: http://iands.org BialikBreakdown.comYouTube.com/mayimbialik

Patrick Belisle, Director of Philanthropy at the Hoffman Institute Foundation, is our guest today. A self-described practical mystic, Patrick embarked upon a spiritual journey that took him around the world and the country. In 2022, he participated in what he calls the pinnacle of his spiritual journey, the Hoffman Process. In this conversation with Drew, Patrick shares his unique perspective on money as “financial energy.” He explains how philanthropic giving is a win-win; a way to fulfill both parties' goals and dreams. Patrick's approach to money will inspire you to craft your own financial story. We hope you enjoy this conversation with Patrick and Drew. More about Patrick Belisle: Patrick Belisle is a self-described "practical mystic" who studied theology with Benedictine monks at his college in Minnesota, meditated with Buddhist monks in Thailand, and had a powerful spiritual awakening at the Osho Commune in Pune, India. He and his wife Jane, also a Hoffman graduate, traveled around the world for a year, and around North America for another three years, in search of the meaning of life. They live happily and authentically in Charlottesville, Virginia. Over the years, Patrick has worn many hats: He is a longtime student and teacher of famous psychic Edgar Cayce's readings. Patrick had a 15-year tenure as a Director at Edgar Cayce's Association for Research and Enlightenment (A.R.E.) in Virginia Beach, VA. He's also worked for  Dr. Ian Stevenson's Division of Perceptual Studies at the University of Virginia for many years. UVADOPS.org applies rigorous scientific research to Near-Death Experiences (NDEs), children who seem to remember past lives, psychic phenomena, and other consciousness-related topics. Patrick has practiced hypnotherapy for many years. He has worked with young people in many capacities, facilitated various relationship workshops, and officiated over 60 weddings, baby blessings, and celebrations of life. Patrick currently serves as Director of Philanthropy at the Hoffman Institute Foundation. He helps raise over $2 million annually for student scholarships and teacher training. Beginning in 2025, Patrick and Hoffman's Board has set a goal to raise $25 million to purchase and renovate Hoffman's new Santa Sabina campus in San Rafael, CA. Santa Sabina will open in 2026. His unique perspective on money as “financial energy” will inspire you to think of your financial energy in a whole new way; how it comes to you, how you use it, and how it all works.

Current mainstream science and philosophy portray mind, personality, and consciousness as nothing more than byproducts of brain activity. The Division of Perceptual Studies strives to challenge this entrenched view by rigorously evaluating empirical evidence that suggests consciousness survives death and the mind is distinct/separable from the brain.  nickbryantnyc.com EpsteinJustice.com

We speak with Dr. Kim Penberthy today who joined us from the University of Virginia. Kim wears many hats. She is a professor of Psychiatry and Neurobehavioral Sciences at the University of Virginia School of Medicine. She is also a board certified clinical psychologist and conducts research, teaches, and provides clinical care at UVA in psychiatry and the cancer center. She also studies and researches after death communication. She lived on a farm in a house that witnessed Civil War strife, with her mother a nurse and her father a would-be farmer surgeon. Exposed to life and death on a farm, she began at an early age asking herself and her parents metaphysical questions – long before she became a clinician and research scientist. We hear about her life changing story at the beach and fascinating surgical table stories heard from her aging father. We learn about her pursuit in researching after death communications from those who lose loved ones and how this research may help develop more wholistic therapeutic approaches to grieving.   Timestamps: 00:00:00 Coming Up 00:01:21 Introduction 00:03:50 The Division of Perceptual Studies 00:07:45 Does Your "Soul" Exist After Death? 00:13:58 Asking "What is the purpose of life?" and "What happens after death?" 00:20:26 Seeing a Person that is Dead 00:26:01 Divine Interventions 00:32:11 After Death Communication 00:42:34 Living Mindfully Across the Lifespan 00:46:26 Government Funding for Near Death Experiences 00:57:12 Aftermath of NDE's and OBE's   Episodes to check out: Dr. Bruce Greyson (ep 69), Dr. Antonia Mills (ep 88) and Dr. Iya Whiteley (ep 185)   Kim, https://med.virginia.edu/perceptual-studies/dops-staff/kim-penberthy/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/j-kim-penberthy-79017824/ Book w Morgan: https://www.amazon.com/Living-Mindfully-Across-Lifespan-Intergenerational-ebook/dp/B08LXJFNST/ref=sr_1_1?crid=4A42NNAPUGA&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.3NWBIzpE1SZHjenYF1AtZg.fOCzcGTIApPhdVhuHyTPrOIvW9O8at0lMhi9-7Gch_o&dib_tag=se&keywords=kim+penberthy+Living+Mindfully+Across+the+Lifespan%3A+An+Intergenerational+Guide&qid=1740933711&sprefix=kim+penberthy+living+mindfully+across+the+lifespan+an+intergenerational+guide%2Caps%2C135&sr=8-1     For fun, story about Meat from the Sky: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kentucky_meat_shower   To give to the Behind Greatness podcast, please visit here: https://behindgreatness.org.

The Division of Perceptual Studies in UVA's medical school is looking to learn how common it is for U.S. children to report remembering past lives, families.

Many people who've had near death experiences speak of similar sensations - a white light, a sense of calm, and a feeling of warmth Many come back from such experiences saying they've had a glimpse into the afterlife. So what exactly is occurring in during these near death experiences? Are people truly getting a glimpse into what happens after we die? Or are the experiences that people report a reflection of a biological process that's occurring? Or are these not mutually exclusive? Dr. Marieta Pehlivanova joins the podcast.

Near Death Experiences: A Scientific AssessmentWe perceive only a fraction of our reality. We live in a world of sights and sounds that we never see nor hear. Albert Einstein contended that although our daily experiences seem to represent reality, the true nature of the universe is much more mysterious and hidden. “Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one," he remarked.Since 1967, the Division of Perceptual Studies at the University of Virginia has been analyzing some of these hidden realities and evaluating them empirically. One of these phenomena is the #NearDeathExperience. The department has evaluated over 1,000 #NDEs and its former director will be our guest on the upcoming episode of Have You Ever Wondered?

Have you ever wondered if #NearDeathExperiences are real? We perceive only a fraction of our reality. We live in a world of sights and sounds that we never see nor hear. Albert Einstein contended that although our daily experiences seem to represent reality, the true nature of the universe is much more mysterious and hidden. “Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one," he remarked.Since 1967, the Division of Perceptual Studies at the University of Virginia has been analyzing some of these hidden realities and evaluating them empirically. One of these phenomena is the Near-Death Experience. The Department has evaluated over 1,000 #NDEs and I am delighted to have its former Director as my guest on this episode of #HaveYouEverWondered? #BruceGreyson has studied near-death experiences for more than 45 years and is one of the world's leading experts on their science and significance. Dr. Greyson's interest in near-death experiences began just a few months after graduating from medical school, when he treated an unconscious patient in the emergency room who stunned him the next morning with an account of leaving her body. That event challenged his beliefs about the mind and the brain, and ultimately led him on a journey to study near-death experiences scientifically, leading to more than a hundred publications in medical journals.

Did you have an imaginary friend as a kids? Brace yourself, your imaginary friend just might have been a recollection of a past life. There are many thousands of stories of very young kids recalling event and people from the past that they can't possibly know about. Dr. Philip Cozzolino, Associate Professor or Research at the University of Virginia Division of Perceptual Studies, joins guest host Ian Hoch to talk about the phenomenon. 

This hour, guest host Ian Hoch speaks with Dr. Philip Cozzolino, Associate Professor or Research at the University of Virginia Division of Perceptual Studies , about if imaginary friends may have been a reincarnations from a past life.

In this episode, we talk with Dr Eben Alexander, an American neurosurgeon and author. In 2008, he suffered a coma caused by a rare and mysterious bacterial meningo-encephalitis of unknown causes. We talk with him about his own near-death experience and his book, Proof of Heaven: A Neurosurgeon's Journey into the Afterlife. Dr Alexander's links: Eben Alexander Division of Perceptual Studies - University of Virginia School of Medicine Home - Scientific and Medical Network Home - The Galileo Commission Bigelow Institute for Consciousness Studies Inner Sanctum Center Sacred Acoustics After our recording, we came upon three articles in particular that make some serious allegations against Dr Alexander. One is from Esquire Magazine and another from writer, Sam Harris. These were both quite hostile. The third is from the Harvard Crimson, and while it is certainly not hostile, it does echo many of the allegations made in the Esquire article. Dr. Eben Alexander Proof of Heaven Investigation (esquire.com) This Must be Heaven by Sam Harris To Do No Harm | The Harvard Crimson (thecrimson.com) We contacted Dr Alexander about these articles and the allegations they make, and his assistant replied with the following links: First, Robert Mays, an NDE researcher and longtime leader of IANDS.org, wrote a thorough article criticizing the journalism of Esquire's author: JNDS_ Winter 2016 2PP.indd (unt.edu)  A peer-reviewed article published in the Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease (flagship journal for physicians in neurology & psychology), by Bruce Greyson et al.

Studies   University of Virginia, Jim Tucker.  “Some young children, usually between the ages of 2 and 5, speak about memories of a previous life they claim to have lived. At the same time they often show behaviors, such as phobias or preferences, that are unusual within the context of their particular family and cannot be explained by any current life events. These memories appear to be concordant with the child's statements about a previous life.” In many cases of this type, the child's statements have been shown to correspond accurately to facts in the life and death of a deceased person. Some of the children have birthmarks and birth defects that correspond to wounds or other marks on the deceased person whose life is being remembered by the child.  In numerous cases, postmortem reports have confirmed these correspondences.  Older children may retain these apparent memories, but generally they seem to fade around the age of seven.  The young subjects of these cases have been found all over the world including Europe and North America. For the past 20 years, Dr. Jim Tucker, now the director of the Division of Perceptual Studies, has focused mainly on cases found in the United States. His book Return to Life offers accounts of very strong American cases of young children who remember previous lives. In this book, Dr. Tucker writes about the now well-known cases of James Leininger, a young boy who had verifiable past-life memories of being a WWII pilot, and Ryan Hammons, who had verifiable memories of being a Hollywood extra and talent agent. Types of Statements a Child Might Make “You're not my mommy/daddy.” “I have another mommy/daddy.” “When I was big, I …(used to have blue eyes/had a car, etc.).” “That happened before I was in mommy's tummy.” “I have a wife/husband/children.” “I used to…(drive a truck/live in another town, etc.)” “I died … (in a car accident/after I fell, etc.)” “Remember when I …(lived in that other house/was your daddy, etc.) Quick discussion : between Phil and Handi  Main topic  Topic :Reddit user u/TapiocaTuesday asked the AskReddit community: "Parents, what spooky 'past life' memory did your kid utter?" eplies : 1.

There were so many sharks.'" "I said, 'What?' He blinked and, said, 'What?' and then started asking questions about the boat. I mentioned it to my friend and she said, 'Yeah, he does that sometimes.'" —Planksgonemad 2. "When I was very young and still unable to string sentences together, my mom and I were sitting at the dining room table. She was crying and I comforted my mother by telling her without any babbling or hesitation: 'It's okay, I used to be your great grandmother, I'll take care of you.'" "I have no memory of this and my mom said I went back to my baby-like talk immediately after. She stopped crying, probably because it scared the shit out of her." —AceTrainerEmily 3. "I used to watch my nephew when he was about 3 or 4. One day, he was at my house and pointed to a magnet of Arizona — it had a picture of the desert with rock formations. Kid pointed at it and asked where it was. He said he used to live by 'red rocks like that' with his first family." "(The first family) all had straight, dark hair (his is blond and curly) and that he had a mom, a dad, and a brother, that is until he went too far into the desert, too close to dark, and got eaten by 'not dogs, not wolves, but smaller.' I said, 'Coyotes?' And he kind of mouthed the word and said, 'Oh, that's what you call them.' Then he was sad and didn't want to talk about it anymore, so we had lunch and that was the first and last time he mentioned it." —auntiepink --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/creative-habits/message

Though western science has long rejected the idea of an immaterial self, modern research into near-death experiences, or NDEs, has now proven that many occur after the point of bodily death, and thus cannot be produced in the brain. Whether they are evidence of the soul, or some other undiscovered phenomenon, NDEs have put Western materialist scientists on the defensive, and led many researchers to embrace bold new theories of consciousness.

Some people think we only get one life to live and others think our spirit or soul returns again and again in different bodies. While past lives have never been 100% scientifically proven, The Division of Perceptual Studies at The University of Virginia has been studying this possibility for decades. In this episode we present two such cases. First, an American boy named James Leininger who remembered a past life as a WWII pilot. Then, the case of the Pollock Twins who are British girls who believed they were the reincarnations of their sisters who died in a car accident before they were born.

You are floating through a long, dark tunnel, towards a bright, warm light into Part I of our Afterlife episode. Who better to finally answer the question of where we go when we die than Brad and Jake? We take you on an out of body experience to the Division of Perceptual Studies at the University of Virginia's medical school, where we meet our guides, professors of psychiatry and neurobehavioral sciences Jim Tucker M.D. and Bruce Greyson M.D. Together, they've amassed around 8000 case studies in their respective fields of near-death experiences and children who claim to remember past lives (aka reincarnation). We'll not only delve into the science and history of the phenomena but take you through the wild personal stories of the experiencers. This will prime you for next week's Part II, where we'll drag you to the depths of Hell, and through the many dimensions of Quantum Immortality.

This week, President Ryan sits down with Dr. Bruce Greyson, a Professor of Psychiatric Medicine and former Director of UVA's Division of Perceptual Studies. Dr. Greyson is an expert on near-death experiences--the unusual experiences reported by patients who come close to death or are pronounced dead, which include enhanced thinking, strong emotions, paranormal experiences, and visions of another realm. Dr. Greyson describes his history documenting near-death experiences, the questions they raise in neuroscience and philosophy, and his latest book: "After: A Doctor Explores What Near-Death Experiences Reveal about Life and Beyond."

Join us in this episode as we explore the world of children and their unique connection to the paranormal and even the spooky.

Dr. Bernard Beitman graduated from Mount Pleasant High School in Wilmington, Delaware in 1960 at #5 Grade Point Average. He majored in Chemistry at Swarthmore College and was one of two outstanding pre-medical students. He attended Yale Medical School graduating in 1964. He did his one-year general medicine internship at Mount Zion Medical Center in San Francisco and then completed the three-year psychiatric residency at Stanford in 1974 after working in the U.S Public Health Service Hospital in San Francisco from 1971-1973 as the hospital's psychiatrist.He then joined the faculty of the department of psychiatry at the University of Washington in Seattle. After ten years there he was denied tenure and then joined the faculty at the University of Missouri-Columbia, where he became a world leader in the study of chest pain and panic disorder which led to his becoming chair of the psychiatry department. (A door closes, and a big window opens.) Building on his book The Structure of Individual Psychotherapy, he created the book Learning Psychotherapy which was taught to half the psychiatric residency training programs in the United States. In 2006 he started formal research into coincidences and then, in 2009, moved to Charlottesville, Virginia, to join the Division of Perceptual Studies of the University of Virginia, which supported his coincidence work as a non-paid faculty member. As a “recovering academic,” he led the development of The Coincidence Project.Please enjoy my conversation with Dr. Bernard Beitman.

Despite typically being scientifically-minded individuals, many clinicians have often wondered about aspects of the human experience that defy rationale explanation, but yet feel profoundly meaningful.  Psychiatrist and author, Dr. Bernard Beitman, joins us for a discussion of many of the core themes in his book Meaningful Coincidences: How & Why Synchronicity and Serendipity Happen.  In this conversation we cover:  what has driven Dr. Beitman's interest in researching coincidencethe necessary and sufficient conditions or characteristics to call an experience a formal coincidencethe challenge and opportunity of determining "meaning" in the context of coincidences given the subjective nature of meaning as well as the observation that meaning that change or emerge over timea framework for determining meaning in the context of synchronicity & coincidenceshow to navigate the challenge of the potential presence of symptoms of psychosis (e.g., delusions of reference, mania) in the context of appropriately evaluating and integrating meaningful coincidences into clinical workhow we can sit with the distress & uncertainty that typically comes with powerful experiences of coincidence and synchronicity Dr. Beitman's response to those who take a purely “actuarial” or statistical approach to coincidencesthe importance of attuning to the emotional valence of an experience to determine it's form, function & meaninghow therapists can help their clients leverage coincidences in their day-to-day lives/therapeutic journeythoughts on the yet undiscovered psychological substrate or plane/dimension of existence (e.g., field of consciousness) that would need to be in place for coincidences to have maximum meaning the potential for psychedelics to be able to expand our capacity to expand our ability to connect seeming unrelated objects or event Dr. Bernard Beitman attended Yale Medical School graduating in 1964.

Today we welcome Dr. Jim Tucker who is a child psychiatrist and the Bonner-Lowry Professor of Psychiatry and Neurobehavioral Sciences at the University of Virginia. He is Director of the UVA Division of Perceptual Studies, where he is continuing the work of Dr. Ian Stevenson on reincarnation. He has been invited to speak about his research on Good Morning America, Larry King Live, and CBS Sunday Morning. He recently published BEFORE: Children's Memories of Previous Lives, a 2-in-1 edition of his previous books.In this episode, I talk to Dr. Jim Tucker about the science of reincarnation. We delve into his research findings and methodology on children who claim to remember their previous lives. Dr. Tucker notes that these children don't just recall biographical details of their past, but they also retain feelings and emotions. His findings have important implications for how we understand consciousness. We also touch on the topics of mortality, trauma, quantum physics, and panpsychism. Website: www.uvadops.orgFacebook: /jimbtuckermd Topics02:15 Dr. Ian Stevenson's research04:59 Psychophore06:39 Dr. Jim Tucker's interest in reincarnation 10:01 Past life statements and unusual play18:34 Announcing dreams, predictions, birthmarks25:13 Fraud, self-deception, fantasy30:18 Genetic memory 34:21 Transfer of consciousness 39:07 Why are past memories so fleeting?41:10 Are we all reincarnated?42:20 Death, trauma, and growth across lifetimes48:08 Panpsychism and multiverses
