Podcast appearances and mentions of Tom Shroder

Antes del II Concilio de Constantinopla (553), se discutía la existencia de la transmigración de las almas y la reencarnación, pero, después, se declararon anatemas a quienes sostuvieran la preexistencia del alma, tanto esta doctrina como la de la transmigración y reencarnación dejaron de ser objeto de discusión en la iglesia latina y, en consecuencia, también se acallaron las críticas que se les dirigían. Sin embargo, algunos investigadores han continuado estudiando los casos de supuesta reencarnación, como Tom Shroder, al que hemos entrevistado para Cuarto Milenio. Posteriormente, se abrirá mesa de debate con el doctor Miguel Ángel Pertierra, especialista en cirugía y otorrinolaringología y con el doctor José Alonso, especialista en radiología para debatir esta cuestión.

According to Amazon, Tom Shroder is an award-winning journalist, editor, and author. His most recent book, "The Most Famous Writer Who Ever Lived: A True Story of My Family," an investigation into the life of his grandfather, Pulitzer Prize winning author MacKinlay Kantor. Book critic Susan Cheever said, "In writing a history that is also a meditation on writing, Shroder has created a book that is as useful as it is fascinating." Shroder is also the author of "Acid Test: LSD, Ecstasy, and the Power to Heal," selected as a Washington Post notable book of 2014. His earlier book, the best-selling "Old Souls," is a classic study of the intersection between mysticism and science.Shroder is also co-author, with former oil rig captain John Konrad, of "Fire on the Horizon,the Untold Story of the Gulf Oil Disaster." Sebastian Junger, author of "War" and "The Perfect Storm," says of Fire on the Horizon, "It's one of the best disaster books I've ever read.. . I tore through it like a novel, but with the queasy knowledge that the whole damn thing is true. A phenomenal feat of journalism."As editor of The Washington Post Magazine, he conceived and edited two Pulitzer Prize-winning feature stories. His most recent editing project, "Overwhemed: Work, Love, and Play When No One Has the Time," by Brigid Schulte, was a New York Times bestseller.In addition to being an author and editor of narrative journalism, Shroder is one of the foremost editors of humor in the country. He has edited humor columns by Dave Barry, Gene Weingarten and Tony Kornheiser, as well as conceived and launched the internationally syndicated comic strip, Cul de Sac, by Richard Thompson. With humorist Barry and novelists Carl Hiaasen and Elmore Leonard, he concocted and edited "Naked Came the Manatee," a satirical serial novel.Shroder was born in New York City in 1954, the son of a novelist and a builder, and the grandson of MacKinlay Kantor, who won the Pulitzer Prize for his civil war novel "Andersonville." Shroder attended the University of Florida where he became Editor of the 22,000 circulation student daily newspaper despite the fact that he was an anthropology major (an affront for which the university's journalism faculty was slow to forgive him). After graduation in 1976, he wrote national award-winning features for the Fort Myers News Press, the Tallahassee Democrat, The Cincinnati Enquirer and the Miami Herald. At the Herald he became editor of Tropic magazine, which earned two Pulitzer Prizes during his tenure.Shroder is also known for his creation, along with Barry and Weingarten, of the Tropic Hunt, which has become the Herald Hunt in Miami and the Post Hunt in Washington, a mass-participation puzzle attended by thousands each year.

My special guest is Tom Shroder who's here to discuss his fasinating journey as he traveled the world conducting research on children that remember their past lives. Get his book Old Souls on Amazon. All across the globe, small children spontaneously speak of previous lives, beg to be taken "home", pine for mothers and husbands and mistresses from another life, and know things that there seems to be no normal way for them to know. From the moment these children can talk, they speak of people and events from the past - not vague stories of centuries ago, but details of specific, identifiable individuals who may have died just months, weeks, or even hours before the birth of the child in question. For 37 years, Dr. Ian Stevenson has traveled the world from Lebanon to suburban Virginia investigating and documenting more than 2000 of these past life memory cases. Now, his essentially unknown work is being brought to the mainstream by Tom Shroder, the first journalist to have the privilege of accompanying Dr. Stevenson in his fieldwork. Shroder follows Stevenson into the lives of children and families touched by this phenomenon, changing from skeptic to believer as he comes face-to-face with concrete evidence he cannot discount in this spellbinding and true story.   It's super easy to access our archives!   Here's how:   iPhone Users: Access Mysterious Radio from Apple Podcasts and become a subscriber there or if you want access to even more exclusive content join us on Patreon.   Android Users: Enjoy over 800 exclusive member-only posts to include ad-free episodes, case files and more when you join us on Patreon.    Copy and Paste our link in a text message to all your family members and friends!

In this episode I speak with Tom Shroder, a delightful raconteur, award winning journalist, ghost writer, former editor of Washington Post magazine whose main driver has been curiosity and who had many wakeup calls and was especially amazed by writing a poem and having it grab other kids attention. He also noticed that deadlines motivated him to write and with that led him into journalism. https://tomshroder.com/

A riveting firsthand account of one man's mission to investigate and document some of the most astonishing phenomena of our time—children who speak of past life memory and reincarnation.For thirty-seven years, Dr. Ian Stevenson has traveled the world from Lebanon to suburban Virginia investigating and documenting more than two thousand of these past life memory cases. Now, his essentially unknown work is being brought to the mainstream by Tom Shroder, the first journalist to have the privilege of accompanying Dr. Stevenson in his fieldwork. Shroder follows Stevenson into the lives of children and families touched by this phenomenon, changing from skeptic to believer as he comes face-to-face with concrete evidence he cannot discount in this spellbinding and true story.In 1997 Dr. Stevenson agreed to let Tom Shroder, an editor at the Washington Post, travel with him through India, Lebanon and the United States as he investigated cases of children who seemed to remember previous lives. Shroder, with Dr. Stevenson's permission, wrote a book based on those experiences.From the Archives: This live interview was recorded on  September 18, 1999 on the nationally syndicated radio program, hosted by Laura Lee .

This episode is a "best-of" replay from S1 of The Soul of Life. In this episode of The Soul of Life I speak with Dr. Michael Mithoefer, the lead investigator that has successfully piloted the first-ever study of MDMA, otherwise known as ecstasy, into the third and final stage of FDA approval for the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder. Dr. Mithoefer is featured as a lead character in the 2015 book Acid Test by award-winning journalist Tom Shroder, a meticulously researched history of the controversy and unprecedented healing properties associated with psychedelics. The FDA granted Dr. Mithoefer and his colleagues “breakthrough status” to expedite its application for approval because they're seeing such dramatic results working with veterans tormented by complex PTSD which is notoriously difficult to treat even with the best and most expensive therapies. “We've had people with uncontrollable rage just have that stop happening after one session.” I talk with Michael about the safety of therapeutically-supervised MDMA and how it works in the brain. MDMA is referred to as an “empathogen,” because it activates our natural ability to be openhearted, friendly, and collaborative, something that immediately gets switched off when the brain goes into safe mode while experiencing emotional turmoil—even garden variety stress can do this, like a parent that yells every day, or a boss that expects to get perfection but only gives criticism. But for now, Dr. Mithoefer is using particularly egregious forms of trauma—combat experience—as the test use case with the FDA. And unlike many people's idea of all illegal drugs being dangerous or addictive, a full course of MDMA is given in micro-doses only 2-3 times in about a month—accompanied by an all-day psychotherapy session each time—but the patient essentially walks away born-again. They report seeing the world not just the way it was before their trauma but with eyes that are profoundly capable of seeing gratitude, joy and meaning in life.

Can psychedelics be used for "good"? In this episode of A New Way of Living, Dan interviews Tom Shroder about the history of psychedelics and the new modern wave of psychedelic research for therapy.   Lysergic acid diethylamide, also known as acid, is a psychotropic drug that was invented in 1938 by Albert Hoffman. Soon after its discovery, LSD was used as a tool during psychotherapy, as a creativity booster, and its use even assisted in new scientific discoveries.    Tom has been an award-winning journalist, writer and editor for nearly 40 years. He is the author of Acid Test: LSD, Ecstasy and the Power to Heal; which is a mind-altering account of the resurgent research into the medical use of psychedelics. Tom was an editor of The Washington Post Magazine between 2001 and 2009, and he has edited New York Times bestsellers as an independent editor.  I'm having Tom on the show today to dive deep into the evolution of psychedelics, the resurgent research into the medical use, and its power to heal.   Purchase your copy of Acid Test: LSD, Ecstasy, and the Power to Heal: https://amzn.to/3vaDF8r   Are you serious about committing to your transformation and creating a future that you truly desire?

In this episode, we talk with Tom Shroder, an award winning journalist and author of Old Souls. Tom became interested in reincarnation in the late '80s after interviewing Brian Weiss (Many Lives, Many Masters). He was intrigued, but skeptical. These tales of past lives from hypnotic regressions lacked the kind of concrete, specific details that could be verified. Then...he came across the work of Dr. Ian Stevenson.Dr. Stevenson spent 37 years traveling the world to investigate and document more than two thousand cases of children who remembered past lives. Tom traveled along with Dr. Stevenson on his final field trips to Lebanon and India, getting a first-hand view his work and cases of past-life memories that he ultimately finds he cannot discount. In this episode, we talk about:Some of the most memorable and compelling cases of children with past-life memories Tom encounteredHow this has affected his view on life & mortality Amy & Lauren's unique perspectives on reincarnation and a "believer" and a "mystic"For more on Tom Shroder and his other works, check out his website:https://tomshroder.com.

And unlike many people's idea of all illegal drugs being dangerous or addictive, a full course of MDMA is given in micro-doses only 2-3 times in about a month—accompanied by an all-day psychotherapy session each time—but the patient essentially walks away born-again. They report seeing the world not just the way it was before their trauma but with eyes that are profoundly capable of seeing gratitude, joy and meaning in life. “People think they're grateful because they're happy. Actually they're happy because they're grateful.” I don't think I'm the only one wondering, “Do I have to wait to get complex-PTSD to sign up?” Wider access to these intense life-changing treatments for less acute suffering indeed may be coming down the line. Just a week ago the bestselling self-help guru and podcast superstar Tim Ferris talked about his experience of sexual abuse in childhood, for the first time publicly, and he credits Dr. Mithoefer for what he described as a breakthrough treatment with MDMA, as well as Dr. Richard Schwartz and IFS therapy, someone I interviewed in episode 4 of the Soul of Life podcast. (By the way, the Tim Ferris episode that talks about MDMA and Internal Family Systems Therapy is episode #464 of his show, which I'll put a link to in notes here at souloflifeshow.com.) As a psychiatrist for many decades, Michael describes how all psychoactive medicines—medicines that act on brain function—are merely tools to help free the brain up to do what it knows how to do. Heal and function as a whole. “Anybody really paying attention realizes there's so much more to psychological healing than isolating it to ‘You've got to reprocess your trauma,' or ‘You've got to correct these cognitive distortions.' Both of those may well be true [but] if you get out of the way and be curious and encourage people to be open to what comes, you find that the breadth and the depth and the complexity to each individual's healing process is beyond what we could have cooked up with our rational minds as a plan. And it's far more beautiful and far more effective.” Follow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SoulOfLifeShow​ or Twitter: https://twitter.com/SoulofLifeShow​ Want to book Keith as a guest on your podcast?

In 1938, Swiss chemist Albert Hofmann accidentally developed the potent psychedelic LSD, although it would be several years before Hofmann realized what he'd created. During the Cold War, the CIA launched a top-secret mind control project, code-named MKUltra, experimenting with LSD and other psychedelic substances, drugging military personnel, CIA employees, and civilians, often without their consent or even their knowledge. At the same time, the CIA was funding university research on psychedelics, involving scientists like Margaret Mead and Gregory Bateson and counterculture luminaries like Ken Kesey and Allen Ginsberg. Although mid-20th Century scientists had seen therapeutic promise in psychedelics, Congress passed the Controlled Substances Act in 1970, which classified LSD, along with psilocybin, MDMA, and peyote, as Schedule I drugs, defined by the DEA as having “no currently accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse.” Joining me in this episode is Dr. Benjamin Breen, Associate Professor of History at the University of California, Santa Cruz, and author of Tripping on Utopia: Margaret Mead, the Cold War, and the Troubled Birth of Psychedelic Science.Our theme song is Frogs Legs Rag, composed by James Scott and performed by Kevin MacLeod, licensed under Creative Commons.
