In this episode we talk with someone that was right there in the early days of computers and who created some amazing software for the very early, very primitive KIM-1 computer.  In fact, he is credited with producing the very first microcomputer game to be sold commercially.  I'm speaking of Peter Jennings, the creator of MicroChess for the KIM-1 and later ported to many other early home computers, such as the TRS-80 Model I/III, Commodore PET, Apple II, Tandy CoCo, and Atari 8-bit. Peter co-founded Personal Software, which later became VisiCorp. Proceeds from MicroChess sales helped finance the development of VisiCalc, the first-ever spreadsheet program, which I'm sure you've heard of. Peter also developed the first model of the ChessMate while working for Commodore. I think you'll find his story pretty interesting.  He's done a lot throughout his career and he's met a lot of the early computer icons.

Has the Ark of Noah been found? Reportedly, yes. But the reports stretch back to 1960 and repeat at least once a decade. The recent discovery is not actually a find so much as it is a core drilling test that has not been finalized. So how can people claim the Ark has been found and proved for sure? They can't, honestly. Additionally, the Ark story has been used as proof that Jesus really resurrected from the grave, literally, even though we are talking about different books, chronologies, languages, and testaments. The completed scientific research done on the same Durupınar Formation in Turkey dates back in the 1990s and proved that an iron bracket was actually “derived from weathered volcanic minerals.” For those who think questioning the story is somehow anti-Christian, perhaps they fail to realize that promoting misleading stories about the Ark could actually damage the already external, fragile reputation of Christianity. Furthermore, the same could be said about flood stories because they are found all over the world, several pre-dating Genesis. Wouldn't their existence reinforce the biblical story? The argument that these stories are somehow different is all a matter of language and perspective, when in fact, they are telling the exact same story assuming that the flood was global and not localized. Also, assuming we're not talking about archetypes. The Ark story, like the recent Shroud of Turin story which was literally reported to prove that Jesus resurrected from the dead because of salt and water, is also almost certainly being pushed by Israeli propagandists alongside similar magical finds of temple beams, Biblical cities, etc., to manipulate Christians into supporting global economic and physical war in the name of framed prophecy.  *The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

Tyler Ellison — cosmic channel for the Essassani being Ryok — delivers a Day 2 Portal To Ascension transmission on open contact, the dreaming self, and Super Earth. Speaking as an extraterrestrial intelligence, he frames alien beings as "multi-dimensional mirrors" that reflect a civilization's own collective consciousness, and argues open contact is already inevitable — its form decided by whether each heart allows or disallows it. Weigh the claims for yourself: some are gentle meditation, some frankly extraordinary. He insists Super Earth "is not metaphor," a real body where past, present and future overlap at once. But the jaw-drop lands mid-talk, when a second voice breaks through — the Sasquatch collective, calling humans their genetic cousins who "went off," watched from the sidelines eating berries.

It appears that one of the greatest confirmations and defenses of Christianity by online personalities and influencers is name calling and mockery. And not typical insults; no, accusations that you are "gnostic trash" or obsessed with "logic" for asking for an explanation of what we call "bro-christianity." It's ironic because gnosticism refers to salvation obtained through internal spiritual growth, which is where the kingdom of heaven is said to be located by Jesus. Doubly ironic, because logic, reasoning, rational, and common sense are not merely the only objective markers of a creative Deity with no characteristics otherwise, but the very foundation of creation. Embracing "faith" without explanation is a declaration that there is nothing but raw desire that confirms the belief. It is desire, irrational animalism, and external salvation that have produced the worst evolutions of man. Anyone rejecting indescribable god, embracing unreason, and mocking enlightenment must certainly be under the influence of some wicked force, even if it is simply their own ego. According to survey data, Christianity has also been reduced further to a means of convenience in 2026 onward. Rather than being a defined "Christian," many are tagging themselves and following online influencers. It's nice to see that even spirituality has been reduced to a turn-key operation if it wasn't before. We also address the increasing claims that popular influencers have been attacked by demons and spoke to God, which is a storyline not unlike the Secret Space Program fantasy. *The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

Chris Noble on Awakened Egypt — why, the more advanced our own technology becomes, the more advanced the builders of the Great Pyramid look; the room inside it that resonates so powerfully that everyone present was in tears without knowing why; and the download he received there that sent him back with others.

Reverend Dr. Judi Stetson Weaver is a trance channel, energy healer and spiritual teacher who has been channeling since 2013. In this Portal To Ascension transmission from the Mystery School at Sea, she traces an improbable path: a Southern Baptist girl terrified of the "eyes" that watched her from her bedroom walls, a light beam that lit the Bible in her hands, the Holy Spirit sweeping girl-to-girl around a church-camp cabin, and the night a voice woke her and told her to fly to Florida and heal her staunchly atheist, cancer-stricken father — who became a man of faith and lived nine more years. She describes John of God's healers in Brazil inserting "crystal hardware" into her body so it could handle the healing energy to come — then, live before the room, she channels Jamar, a 25,000-year-old Lemurian elder, and Archangel Gabriel, on emotions, fear, and the truth that is found within.

The "divine feminine" is no more, or less, important than the "divine masculine." The veiled goddess has in every society been a personification of the mysteries of nature. Only the immortal can unveil her honestly--meaning that only once one acknowledges the essence of the soul, and abandons the ego, can a pier upon her naked body triple since the truth that all things are alive with spiritual essence. Hence MA-Rhea, the feminine principle flowing through all things. But the masculine is also present, too be it the sky or the Earth, and the goddess the Earth or the sky.

Zazar is an omnidimensional galactic being channeled by Dr. Marilyn Gewacke — a clinical psychologist and two-time award-winning author of "The ZaZar Transmissions." In this Portal To Ascension transmission, Zazar delivers what he calls "big news": the fifth-dimensional cities of Telos, beneath Mount Shasta, and Shambala, in the Himalayas, are merging with inner earth into one unified 5D civilization — pouring the higher blueprint of the new human into everyone on Earth. He says the ancient ones of Atlantis, Egypt, Lemuria, Stonehenge and Newgrange stored their lost wisdom as light codes for this exact moment, that the recent "Atlas" was a galactic craft carrying those codes, and that you hold dormant landing fields and star-seed DNA ready to activate. And the part nobody expects: as you ascend, your lowest parallel lives simply dissolve — you will pass people you once knew and have no memory of them at all.

Jerome Martin is a metaphysical practitioner specializing in advanced galactic healing technologies, DNA activation and facilitating close encounters with galactic and interdimensional beings. He joins Neil Gaur of Portal To Ascension to describe the 2017 experiences he calls friendly abductions — when five blue light beings phased through the engine block of his work truck and began a progressive training program inside what he later understood was a sentient Arcturian light ship. The hook: he claims the reptilians and Draconians who terrified him were the ones who taught him grounding, and that darkness is the only reason a planet can rise.

Uri Lee is a clinical hypnotherapist, medicine woman and self-described moon priestess who left a Los Angeles fashion career after a spiritual encounter she says split her soul open. Hosted by Joan of Angels for Portal To Ascension, she describes waking in a Tampa hotel room to find her iron-cast bed shaking while angelic and dark beings fought over her soul — and being ordered by a voice to stop everything and go and heal others. She says she now guides people through past-life regression, and that she travels to other dimensions to speak with the spirits of trees and with fairies. Ninety per cent of the people she regresses, she claims, genuinely go back.

Shima Moore is a metaphysical curator, educator and astrologer who co-founded the Los Angeles Conscious Life Expo and the underground magazine Perceptions — printing government, health and metaphysics material back in 1994 when almost nobody else would. Speaking with Neil Gaur of Portal To Ascension, she describes a spontaneous download she received in college that left her, she says, reading people's minds for two full weeks. She then lays out the celestial event that has every astrologer talking: Saturn and Neptune meeting at zero degrees Aries, the very first moment of spring, in a configuration she says has not happened in 6,000 years.

Viviane Chauvet describes herself as an Arcturian being embodying a human form — creator of Arcturian Energy Matrix Healing and founder of the Arcturian University of Universal Consciousness. She takes the Portal To Ascension stage after an introduction from host Alan Steinfeld, author of Making Contact. She claims the Arcturians held a station on Mars when Mars still carried oceans, watching Earth being seeded as an Eden, and that her own physical body was engineered as a template so a fractal of her Arcturian self could enter this timeline. Then she does the thing nobody expects on a lecture stage: she stops talking, and runs the room through a live Crystal Diamond Heart activation.

The "rape of Nanking," the Japanese military slaughter of 300,000 Chinese civilians, is supposed to be one of the worst atrocities of the twentieth century. The Allied established Tokyo Tribunal found 100,000 dead and the Nanking tribunal, three times as many. However, a University of Nanking study by Dr. Lewis Smythe, who was in the city when the Japanese took control, found that even with underestimations the number of dead was about 31,000 people. Many of them were also armed and died from direct combat with the Japanese. The number of dead in the city itself was only a few thousands and the entire surrounding countryside had to be included to get even above 10,000 dead.  Yet today the Chinese government has made it illegal to question this and other historical narratives; they also demand perpetual apologies from the Japanese despite their more recent murder of upwards of 60 million of their own people from starvation and mass murder quotas. The 2011 JAPAN-CHINA JOINT HISTORY RESEARCH REPORT also agreed that the Imperial military was given strict orders to not behave in the ways accused. Even if some did, and thousands were murdered, the numbers are nowhere even close to triple digits. This is important for historical purposes, but also because Nanking remains a major geopolitical issue between Japan, China and even Taiwan. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i-7-VFiuyd0https://www.mofa.go.jp/mofaj/files/100512970.pdf?utm_source=chatgpt.comhttps://en.wikisource.org/wiki/War_Damage_in_the_Nanking_area_Dec._1937_to_Mar._1938https://news.web.nhk/newsweb/na/na-k10015198361000*The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

Adam Apollo is a systems architect who has briefed the White House as a Next Generation Leadership ambassador, spoken at United Nations NEXUS summits, co-founded the UNIFY movement, and serves as lead faculty for the Resonance Academy for Unified Physics with over 150,000 students worldwide. In this Portal To Ascension conversation with Neil Gaur, he argues the craft in the disclosure files are not using warp drive at all, but a self-contained vibrational envelope built on the ER=EPR breakthrough, where space-time itself is a discrete wormhole network. Then he goes somewhere darker — energetic vampirism, intentional chakra hooking, and the night a self-declared dark magician looked him in the eye and told him exactly what she does to people.

The Spectre of Pep: How Guardiola Haunts Modern Football Tactics (Seven Dials, 2026) by Jon Mackenzie A spectre is haunting European football. Watch almost any game, no matter the level, and you will notice it. From inverted full backs to extreme high lines, the tactical threads of the match will eventually converge onto a singular point: Pep Guardiola. For some though, his near total dominance has come at the cost of the game itself, with modern football's protagonists caught between acknowledging Guardiola's greatness and wanting to evolve the sport beyond him. In The Spectre of Pep, acclaimed tactics writer Jon Mackenzie explores this contradiction. But this is much more than the story of just one man. After tracing Guardiola's ascendancy, displacing giants like Jose Mourinho and Antonio Conte, it examines how other elite coaches have fought to establish their own legacies within this landscape - including the likes of Jurgen Klopp, Roberto De Zerbi, Luis Enrique and Mikel Arteta. And with his time at Manchester City coming to an end - in a world where his influence is arguably diminishing - it also speculates on what the next generation of tactics may look like, and how Guardiola's legacy will be viewed in the future. If you want to understand football today, you have to understand the tactical spectre of Pep Guardiola. To do that, you need this book.

Jessica Taylor is an intuitive channel and energy translator who began in mediumship and ended up in contact with something else entirely. Hosted by Neil Gaur for Portal To Ascension, she describes the moment human spirits stopped coming through and a seventh-dimensional Pleiadian being she calls Christos took their place. On camera she drops into a live transmission, and the voice that answers explains Earth's stargates, why sudden mass contact is being deliberately avoided, and what the next three to five years will feel like. Then it says the part nobody expects: some of them are already here, and you have already walked past them without noticing.

Elizabeth April — remote viewer, galactic channeler and author — sits with Neil for Portal To Ascension. She says everything she has remote viewed for the past fifteen years is now surfacing in the Epstein files, and that when she tapped into 2026 she saw a giant nuclear mushroom cloud — the same vision four or five Monroe Institute remote viewers reported independently. She lays out a 2025–2028 collapse of the old system, a disclosure soft launch through declassified documents, and a Galactic Federation ultimatum to world governments: say something, or we will.

Debbie Solaris is an ET contactee, interdimensional traveler and Galactic Akashic Record Reader who channels galactic history through her Arcturian and Pleiadian guides. Recorded at the Conscious Life Expo, she sits with host Joan of Angels for Portal To Ascension. She says the records show direct, physical extraterrestrial contact arriving between 2028 and 2032 — and that the first beings to greet us will not be the ones everyone expects. She also claims she read Donald Trump's Akashic records, and what she says she found in the Orion system is the strangest thing in this entire conversation.

Sacha Stone — activist, founder, and one of the 2027 New Living Expo speakers — sits with Alan Steinfeld for Portal To Ascension. Cosmogenesis by 2030, the Tartarian maps Putin released, the golden age expunged from the record, why we should stop speaking to infants, and the launch of a mineral-backed parallel economy.

Ross Coulthart — the Australian investigative journalist and former 60 Minutes reporter behind the David Grusch whistleblower story — sits with Alan Steinfeld. He says that after decades of hard-nosed reporting he has gone completely 180, and that the United States recovered non-human technology and buried it through an operation that has cost lives. He alleges people have been murdered to protect the secret, describes the dead man's switch he and a source set up, and explains why every legacy insider he meets stops talking about the craft and starts talking about consciousness.

Debbi Dachinger on the Ant People — the underground beings the Hopi say sheltered humanity through fire, ice and flood — why sacred sites shift your frequency until you can see other beings, and the single thing every extraterrestrial has told her they look for before making contact.

While the nation of Israel was going through their cycle of apostasy and repentance, there were other nations that were going through some pretty tough times. In this episode of Bible Backdrop, we're taking a step back from the narrative in the book of Judges and taking a look at what's happening in the wider world.

Reviewing Lawrence H. White's Free Banking in Britain, Murray Rothbard dismantles the claim that Scotland enjoyed a century of successful free banking before the Peel Act of 1845. Drawing on Sydney Checkland's history, he shows that the Scottish banks pyramided credit on the Bank of England rather than standing on their own specie, suspended payment alongside England from 1797 to 1821, and let reserves fall from 10–20 percent to as little as 1 percent, while depositors who asked for gold met argument, rebuff, and the threat of losing future credit. The rarity of bank failure that White counts as proof of success, Rothbard argues, is evidence of the opposite.
