Podcasts about Zener

Dive into the mysterious world of the GATE (Gifted and Talented Education) program and its potential connections to psychic abilities. Was the program designed to nurture psychically gifted children, or was there a deeper agenda? Could some participants have been identified for unique cognitive or even paranormal abilities? In this episode of A Psychics' Story, Nichole explores the firsthand account of Monica Lynne and the intriguing possibility that some children were selected and later trained as adults for something beyond conventional education. According to Monica, “Telepathy is transferred in energy, thought and intention…if you are able to clearly transmit and receive, you become able to discern someone else's thoughts.”Monica believes that it is all about discovering how to tap into your supernatural power through intentional energy work. If you would like to connect with Monica Lynne, you can find her on her website or Instagram and TikTok via the handle @Its.MonicaLynne.Want to test your psychic ability?

On Eavesdroppin' comedy podcast this week, Geordie & Michelle look at ESP and The Telepathy Tapes...Do you believe in ESP? There's a new podcast and documentary series called The Telepathy Tapes that is blowing up around the world, which aims to prove that some nonverbal autistic children have supernatural abilities. Journalist Ky Dickens looks at a group of nonverbal autistic children who can communicate with people through their minds and can merge their own consciousness with others. So are these neurodivergent kids gifted and using telepathy and astral projection to communicate? Or is something else going on? Geordie dives in...For part two of this episode, Michelle looks at other types of mind reading. Are Daryl Bam's experiments legit? Were the Project Stargate mind experiments tapping into something real? Can EEG machines REALLY create digital images from your thoughts and memories? And what are the ethics of that? And what exactly are Zener cards? Listen now to find out! So pop on your headphones, grab a brown lemonade and join Geordie & Michelle for this week's episode, plus chit-chat about lions mane mushrooms, beef fat and more, only on Eavesdroppin' podcast.

The Cultists are back! And in honor of The Resurrection, on this week's annotated deep-dive, The Cutlists Present Ivan Reitman's Ghostbusters (1984). A humble little film of grandiose origins (including a writer born into a family tree of generations of ghost hunters, a un-producable fever dream of a first draft, a 13 month time budget, and a die hard commitment to keeping the SNL and Second City comedy players as the B-plot to the film's one true core purpose of introducing the doctrine of Spiritualism's main tenants to the youth of the 1980s), Ghostbusters is one subtle but wild trip.  Notoriously simultaneously a film about everything and nothing, the finished print of Ghostbusters has prevailed through the decades as a largely nostalgic comedy. So much so thusly remembered in the larger cultural zeitgeist that it can be all too easy to overlook just how deeply rooted nearly every line of the script is in esoteric references to over a century of real world Spiritualist practices and lore… Deep-dives include:  The history of parapsychology; J.B. Rhine, Zener cards, the Milgram experiment, and other such ways to gaslight undergraduates in the name of quantitive research; Hittite vs. Sumerian myth (and where our lovable otherworldly gods of Gozer to Zul falls); Dan Akroyd's real life family business of talking to ghosts; the plight of the EPA; Theosophy and the ethereal vs the etheric; Institutional Review Boards (and the film's violations therein); Ivo Shandor Revival style cults and the occult appeal of selenium; the film's myriad folklore references from the 1943 Philadelphia experiment to the Tunguska event; turn of the century cheese cloth regurgitation (or how you get ectoplasm); the film's offhand references to trepanation, hypnotic dentistry, and menstrual psychosis; the special effects and the unapologetic cocaine-fueled frenzied genesis of everyone's favorite childhood ghost; and how ultimately this film is, above all else, an esoteric love letter to a new turn of the century Spiritualism.  Episode Safe Word: James Randi

A team of researchers led by Dr. Josef Parvizi from Stanford University has found that stimulating a specific area in the brain, known as the anterior precuneus, can create an out-of-body experience. Combine this with a digital ESP experience and perhaps we could soon induce a black box OBE into a digital wilderness...LIVE ON Digital Radio! http://bit.ly/3m2Wxom or http://bit.ly/40KBtlW http://www.troubledminds.org Support The Show! https://rokfin.com/creator/troubledminds https://patreon.com/troubledmindshttps://www.buymeacoffee.com/troubledminds https://troubledfans.comFriends of Troubled Minds! - https://troubledminds.org/friends Show Schedule Sun-Mon-Tues-Wed-Thurs 7-10pst iTunes - https://apple.co/2zZ4hx6Spotify - https://spoti.fi/2UgyzqMTuneIn - https://bit.ly/2FZOErSTwitter - https://bit.ly/2CYB71U----------------------------------------https://troubledminds.org/the-digital-wilderness-obes-in-a-black-box-world/https://medium.com/the-generator/can-ai-communicate-with-us-telepathically-8eafbafc4fafhttps://www.wvxu.org/2023-07-03/scientists-have-found-part-of-the-brain-that-triggers-out-of-body-experienceshttps://chat.openai.com/share/d93e103d-1b5d-4bdd-a5f9-a2dd15d44682https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zener_cardshttps://theghostinmymachine.com/2019/07/01/how-does-it-work-zener-cards-esp-and-the-scientific-method-karl-zener-j-b-rhine/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latent_spacehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_boxhttps://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/B9780128009482000200https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0169343This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/4953916/advertisement

Zener diodes (https://blog.adafruit.com/2013/07/17/your-moment-of-zener/) really are amazing little devices, useful for a dozen different circuits. (https://www.evilmadscientist.com/2012/basics-introduction-to-zener-diodes/) We like to use a Zener clamp (https://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/DeviceDoc/chapter%208.pdf) as a basic method of protecting analog inputs on some of our dev boards so you can plug 5V in by accident and nothing bad will happen to the chip GPIO. They're available in just about every voltage setting - let's check out some tips on using Zeners, (https://www.onsemi.com/pub/Collateral/HBD854-D.PDF) what to watch out for when specifying them and all the different packages available at DigiKey.

My special guest, Dr. Collum Cooper, is here to discuss a frightening phenomenon concerning phone calls from paranormal entities. Pick up his book  'Telephone Calls From The Dead' at your local bookshop or anywhere books are sold.         Rhine era  In 1911, Stanford University became the first academic institution in the United States to study extrasensory perception (ESP) and psychokinesis (PK) in a laboratory setting. The effort was headed by psychologist John Edgar Coover and was supported by funds donated by Thomas Welton Stanford, brother of the university's founder. After conducting approximately 10,000 experiments, Coover concluded that "statistical treatments of the data fail to reveal any cause beyond chance."[40]  In 1930, Duke University became the second major U.S. academic institution to engage in the critical study of ESP and psychokinesis in the laboratory. Under the guidance of psychologist William McDougall and with the help of others in the department—including psychologists Karl Zener, Joseph B. Rhine, and Louisa E. Rhine—laboratory ESP experiments using volunteer subjects from the undergraduate student body began. Unlike psychical research approaches, which generally sought qualitative evidence for paranormal phenomena, the experiments at Duke University proffered a quantitative, statistical approach using cards and dice. As a consequence of the ESP experiments at Duke, interested researchers worldwide developed and adopted standard laboratory procedures for ESP testing.[37]  George Estabrooks conducted an ESP experiment using cards in 1927. Harvard students were used as the subjects. Estabrooks acted as the sender, with the guesser in an adjoining room. In total, 2,300 trials were conducted. When the issues were sent to a distant space with insulation, the scores dropped to chance level. Attempts to repeat the experiment also failed.[34]  J. B. Rhine's book, New Frontiers of the Mind (1937), published the laboratory's findings to the general public. In his book, Rhine popularized the word "parapsychology," which psychologist Max Dessoir had coined over 40 years earlier to describe the research conducted at Duke. Rhine also founded an autonomous Parapsychology Laboratory within Duke and started the Journal of Parapsychology, which he co-edited with McDougall.[37]  Early parapsychological research employed Zener cards in experiments designed to test for the existence of telepathic communication or clairvoyant or precognitive perception.  Rhine, along with associate Karl Zener, had developed a statistical system of testing for ESP that involved subjects guessing what symbol, out of five possible symbols, would appear when going through a unique deck of cards designed for this purpose. A percentage of correct guesses (or hits) significantly above 20% was perceived as higher than chance and indicative of psychic ability. In his first book, Extrasensory Perception (1934), Rhine stated that after 90,000 trials, he felt ESP was "an actual and demonstrable occurrence."[41]  Irish medium and parapsychologist Eileen J. Garrett was tested by Rhine at Duke University in 1933 with Zener cards. Certain symbols were placed on the cards and sealed in an envelope, and she was asked to guess their contents. She performed poorly and later criticized the tests by claiming the cards lacked a psychic energy called "energy stimulus" and that she could not perform clairvoyance to order.[42] The parapsychologist Samuel Soal and his colleagues tested Garrett in May 1937. Most experiments were carried out in the Psychological Laboratory at University College London.    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.

Pastor Bill: [0:00] Hello and welcome to season 3 episode 65 of The Berean Manifesto; Faith, Hope, and Love for the Modern Christian. I'm Pastor Bill, and I'm joined by Pastor Newms. Pastor Newms: [0:12] Hello I am Pastor Newms. Pastor Bill: [0:14] And we are currently in a time of mourning, we've lost someone that was very special to us. His name was Bloodwing. Pastor Newms: [0:26] Gosh we're going to go here right away. Pastor Bill: [0:29] And he has done broke my heart. Pastor Newms: [0:33] Spoiler alert for if you have. Pastor Bill: [0:35] Handsome Jack Must Die. Pastor Newms: [0:37] Um in Borderlands 1 when we were playing through on Gaming With The Pastors, Pastor Bill or Pastor Thete as he's also known played as a character called Mordecai. Mordecai has a pet named blood Wing. Blood Wing is basically, you could view it as kind of a falconer only it's not a falcon it's something else, and he would throw it out and it would go and attack the enemy and it saved our butts on more than one occasion, well when we get to Borderlands 2 all the characters from Borderlands 1 are NPCs, those NPCs are then just story people as opposed to the people that were playing as, so we're playing through it and I knew it was coming and I couldn't say anything because I knew it would be worse if he knew off the front and, really sad knowing what was going to happen and yes Biggs we will get to that in a moment, um so we start the story everything's going well everything's going good we go into an area where Mordecai is, and he's complaining because Handsome Jack who's the bad guy of Borderlands 2, the villain and they do a very good job of making you hate him through the whole story and it just gets worse and worse this is one of the Pinnacle Point. Here, does some scientific experimentation on blood wing and you spend the fight trying to tranq him and save him and you do and then the moment it  happens, Handsome Jack presses a button that blows blood Wings head off, if you were watching which most of you were not because most of you are listening to this as a podcast as opposed to watch, on Twitter live or anything else if you happen to go back and watch that on my twitch there was towards the end of our last stream which was the stream from to, five. There was just silence on Bill side and its really bad because there were some foreshadowing, Bill is like oh man right there is where it says we have to go and there's a red dot which means if we have to fight blood Wing I'm going to get real upset and I was like nah that's not what that is because it wasn't yet, and so he was like okay good and then we move forward and I'm going crap this is gonna suck so bad, and it did and so now, I would fully expect the next week they will be a lot of streaming because Bill wants some hardcore vengeance, against Handsome Jack in so many ways which is really cute to a certain degree because those of us that are hardcore gamers. We've experienced this too many times you get super invested in a character and then it died, I'll never forget there was one game, I cannot remember the name of the game to save my life but it was for the Xbox 360 and it was an RPG and you chose which characters you wanted to play as and I put all my points into this one character and then they just the Overflow points into the others, and in the last boss battle he sacrifices himself and, then I'm stuck with three other characters I can play as that are completely underpowered and, I'll never forget it and, sadly Pastor Bill has just dealt with the loss of a game character that affected him hard and I feel terrible but we will continue playing it, we will complete the story of Borderlands 2 Pastor Bill has been begging me, this afternoon and evening to tell him that we get to kill Handsome Jack to which I have responded and subject story does end, but that is all I said and he is not happy with me but that's okay. Pastor Bill: [4:57] So I found a Borderlands 3 candle today, rose-scented but I didn't buy it it was like 20 bucks that's too much to spend on a. Little candle in the. Pastor Newms: [5:17] Gross so our shirts today with no planning. Pastor Bill: [5:23] Unplanned no planning and we didn't plan that. Pastor Newms: [5:25] Pastor Bill is wearing a shirt that has the Justice League on it and I am wearing a shirt that has Marvel on it, which is pretty much just the Avengers but it's not technically an Avenger shirt so yes, as Biggs pointed out we are sporting the DC versus Marvel which is a Crux of our relationship as best friends for years because Billiam is a DC guy and I am, not so, I believe Marvel is better I will say DC. did a much better job with all of their kids programming than Marvel ever has and they have done a better. Pastor Bill: [6:08] And Marvel's done better with the theatrical then DC ever has. Pastor Newms: [6:11] Marvel's done better with the theatrical and the comics because the best DC Comics were actually done by Dark Horse and Frank Miller and people like that not actually DC Comics in my opinion. Pastor Bill: [6:25] Except for you know the whole Return of the Hulk made-for-tv movie in the 80s where Hulk meets Thor. Pastor Newms: [6:31] That was a bad one that was a bad one that was a real bad. Pastor Bill: [6:36] All right so how was your week pastor newms. Pastor Newms: [6:38] Week was pretty good work is super busy and so that is that is taking up a lot of my time even little more than it's normal, 825 ish time periods which is okay you have weeks that ebb and flow when your salary, and so that's cool played a good amount of games groggy came over this weekend or the best as he is currently logged in on Twitch because, two Twitter accounts. Pastor Bill: [7:12] He's the best around. Pastor Newms: [7:14] So spent today playing a couple of board games. Pastor Bill: [7:18] I reached a little a little too ambitious Lee for that. Pastor Newms: [7:20] You did you did. So they you know it was kind of fun we had some fun I made soup made my potato soup because food with good soup, so yeah it was pretty good how was your week. Pastor Bill: [7:42] Well other than the loss of a friend. Pastor Newms: [7:45] Oh my gosh. Pastor Bill: [7:46] It's been all right there was the snow storm that blew through so there was a lot of time at home, and Gerg didn't have school Thursday and Friday which was nice that meant a couple of mornings that I got to, can I sleep in some except then the littlest one got sick we're pretty sure it's strep throat. Pastor Newms: [8:05] Oh Pastor Bill: [8:09] We're going to take him to the doctor first thing tomorrow morning. Pastor Newms: [8:12] Because he's still not feeling good. Pastor Bill: [8:14] Well he's still got I mean you can visibly see the stuff back there in his mouth with a flashlight so we're going to go see about getting him some, antibiotics or something to try to rush the healing process on that so yeah, so this is what my week has been like which has been, cool I guess other than the sick guy and the you know the death of blood with, um but he always cool having the snow getting to see my littlest one, get snow for the first time at such a young age my my youngest daughter didn't have real snow until she was five and even then it was like half the amount of this snowstorm. Pastor Newms: [9:04] It's Texas snow so it's when it's there's not a lot of it it's not any good. Pastor Bill: [9:09] Yeah but but this was real real real snow like real real like you make a snowball and you throw it and it actually explodes snow not you make is no longer a threat somewhere in there like dude that literally turned into a chunk of ice before it got to me, you literally just pelted me with a big chunk of ice, yeah so that yeah that's how my week was yeah okay so now it's time for getting another pastors, and we are on an odd is that the right word odd. Pastor Newms: [9:45] Are we on and on. Pastor Bill: [9:46] If even if oven. Pastor Newms: [9:50] It's easy evens and odds. Pastor Bill: [9:53] Even some of the right words Wyman Todd. Pastor Newms: [9:54] Yes are you having a stroke. Pastor Bill: [9:58] That happened the other night I could win to go sing the night at song and I couldn't remember the word night and it's the first word of the song and so I was like Nick yeah. Nah. Yeah so that was interesting it was interesting evening okay here we go what characteristic are you most known for. Pastor Newms: [10:29] I don't know, because being known for something means other people know it so I don't know. I don't like that at all. Pastor Bill: [10:50] Yeah you more might say you even hate that. Pastor Newms: [10:58] Very well done very well done very well done good good segment good segment where do you best known for characteristic are you best known for past. Pastor Bill: [11:09] Oh man I'm best known for being overly emotional and unpredictable. And what does your dad say I'm getting old. Is it the gray hair or the Dentures or what is it. Pastor Newms: [11:33] Yes as well as the as well as the way you laugh now is different than it was when you were younger. Pastor Bill: [11:41] I thought our boys left leg. Pastor Newms: [11:42] No you have it like an old man laughter sometimes. Pastor Bill: [12:00] -8 sure yeah. Pastor Newms: [12:03] Haha you're 40 I'm best known on the podcast for three things saying yes that's valid and that comes from before most of y'all ever listened, that that joke came from and then the other thing that I am oh because he's having a stroke because you can't speak. Pastor Bill: [12:22] Stronk. Pastor Newms: [12:24] The other thing I'm very much known for and I joke about this even outside of here which is how far into the podcast, how do I make it without blaming it on the English language. Pastor Bill: [12:38] Mmm. Pastor Newms: [12:39] Or Microsoft for having technical issues I'm blaming it on Microsoft. Pastor Bill: [12:46] I think you're a pretty equal technology blamer you can pretty much pick out the weaknesses in any technology and be like see this is why that's not great this this this this. Pastor Newms: [12:57] Usually it's this is why I hate this particular software. Pastor Bill: [13:03] Trying to avoid that word because we've already covered that aspect. Pastor Newms: [13:06] But I definitely am really good at blaming the English language for things and. Pastor Bill: [13:14] Indubitably. Pastor Newms: [13:15] Even at work often I'm having to blame the English language because the English language just doesn't mean the same thing for people, especially when dealing with software versus heart health care, I'm Healthcare software is very interesting because some of the very same language that's used in healthcare is used in software meaning completely different things and so, there's often communication issues between clinicians provider service people the business and in the markets that we work in and our technical people because the words just mean different things to those people, the same words which other languages doesn't have that issue, you look at German and their words are basically just long explanations for what a thing is so you don't have that issue as much in other languages. Pastor Bill: [14:21] Zener schnitzel well what does that mean it means meat in tube V nurses. Pastor Newms: [14:28] It's it's, not hot dog or sausage because sausage can mean like eight different things here anyway I'm at work I'm becoming known as a food guy. Pastor Bill: [14:46] Oh Pastor Newms: [14:46] Because no not a foodie just a guy that eats food because. Pastor Bill: [14:49] Not a foodie oh. Pastor Newms: [14:52] People will I'm someone who stress eats a lot so during my work day I eat, and so people will be will be in meetings or other things and someone will say something about food and because I love food, I will start talking about food at the other day someone said I've been with the company about four months and just over four months and the one of the people I work with closely a lot because Jonathan didn't you just, derail the last meeting talking about food and I was like look I didn't bring it up I didn't start it. Pastor Bill: [15:33] You mean the meeting we had an hour ago with this same group of people that we talked about this same. Pastor Newms: [15:38] No no it was it was. Pastor Bill: [15:39] There was no need for us to have another meeting. Pastor Newms: [15:41] It was a valid different meaning. Pastor Bill: [15:44] Oh okay. Pastor Newms: [15:45] And that was the funny thing was the only people that were the same on the meeting was me and her, and we're working to different parts of the company but we were the only ones that were the same and so it very much was like yeah I did that. Pastor Bill: [16:01] All right so. Pastor Newms: [16:02] So yeah those are the things I'm known for I guess. Pastor Bill: [16:06] Tonight we're talking about Thomas and I gave you no time to prepare for this I apologize, you asked me yesterday what are we talking about and I said I said I think we're talking about Thomas that's all I told you. Pastor Newms: [16:25] So you can't see it so I've got to tell you you said tonight we're talking about Thomas right. And the best groggy said I doubt it. Pastor Bill: [16:42] When I see it. Pastor Newms: [16:46] Oh you do see it cuz you're in the Discord. Pastor Bill: [16:49] I'm in the Discord yes it was good timing. Pastor Newms: [16:51] So yeah. Pastor Bill: [16:56] That is funny that is comical. Pastor Newms: [16:59] I thought you would enjoy that. Pastor Bill: [17:01] It's a great joke even. Pastor Newms: [17:02] I thought you would enjoy that. Pastor Bill: [17:03] But after tonight you're going to have to stop that. Pastor Newms: [17:06] That is true. Pastor Bill: [17:07] That right there you have stopped. Pastor Newms: [17:09] But I doubt that we're talking about doubting Thomas. Pastor Bill: [17:13] Oh God okay so we're talking about Thomas and yes we and you ask you even ask me which Thomas were talking about and I said the one they call doubting. Pastor Newms: [17:25] Which is an accurate statement. Pastor Bill: [17:27] Yeah that was the only Q I gave you as to the tone of tonight, and what we were you know the one they called outing because I wasn't completely sure myself exactly where this was going, um and Ice us all that out today that's it, probably four hours I think it was just four hours maybe five reading through the commentaries on, John chapter 20 verses 24 through 29, and can assess out where we were going and as I was reading through it I was like oh I see what's going on okay got you, the made perfect sense once I got into the study as to why we were going that direction so let's start with and if you can type this in because on the restream kind of thing is where you type it in that it actually shows up on Facebook, if I type it in a Discord it doesn't actually show up on. Pastor Newms: [18:26] All right so we're going to John. Pastor Bill: [18:28] You're going to John chapter 20 and we're going to read versus 24, through 29 okay and this is the story where Thomas the Apostle now we call them Apostles because they are the 12, disciples who win the Lord said it of My Flesh and drink of my blood they stayed, there were estimated to be about 120 people following Jesus when he gave that teaching, and all of them left except for these 12 people okay so that's criteria number one for being an apostle criteria number two for being an apostle is meeting one-on-one with Christ, after he died descended and then came to Earth to do his post. Resurrection Ministry before he ascended those are the two criteria for apostle Paul, never actually met these criteria even though a lot of people call him the Apostle Paul, um now he did meet Jesus post Ascension but by the strictest definitions of apostle that discounts Paul altogether, John chapter 20 verses 24 through 29, but Thomas called twin now not called twin called Didymus it's a nickname, if you're gonna visit see that see that's the csb I don't often disagree with the csb but when you translate somebody's nickname, into what the words actual definition is I have a problem with that. Pastor Newms: [20:21] Yeah that's a little weird. Pastor Bill: [20:22] Um but Thomas called Didymus. Pastor Newms: [20:25] Although they did put it in quotes. Pastor Bill: [20:27] Yeah they did put it in quotes and then they put a little note at the bottom Greek did he miss tourism. Pastor Newms: [20:35] For all. Pastor Bill: [20:36] One of the twelve was not with them when Jesus came now what he's talking about is Jesus had met with them met with the other 11, on the first day of the previous week, so so the other disciples were telling him we have seen the Lord but he said to them. Sorry, I said to them if I don't see the mark of the nails in his hands put my finger into the mark of the nails and put my hand into his side I will never believe, a week later his disciples were indoors again and Thomas was with them even though the doors were locked Jesus came and stood among them and said, peace be with you then he said to Thomas put your finger here and look at my hands reach out your hand and put it into my side, don't be faithless but belief Thomas responded to him my Lord my God, Jesus said because you have seen me you have believed we're going to talk about punctuation here in a second, because you have seen me you have believed blessed are those who have not seen and yet believe okay. There are some discrepancies between manuscripts and translations on, verse 29 of John chapter 20 is supposed to be punctuated in the King James it says because you have seen me, you have believed semicolon, blessed are those who have not seen and yet believe, in the csb it is because you have seen me, you have believed period blessed are those who have not seen and yet believe in some manuscripts The Ordering of the words, lead a good amount of Scholars to believe this statement was, because you have seen me have you believed question mark. Pastor Newms: [22:48] Which is what the Nasby sorry go ahead. Pastor Bill: [22:50] Sort of those yeah blessed are those who have not seen and yet believe. Pastor Newms: [22:56] And that's what the Nasby shows. Pastor Bill: [23:00] Because there are some manuscripts in a good amount of Scholars have believed that was the intended punctuation now to be fair again you know. Pastor Newms: [23:09] To be fair. Pastor Bill: [23:11] There was no punctuation in the Greek, it was all in the way that the wording was placed and the way that you know it was the context clues that's where we get the punctuation for our English translations they're not actually there in, the Greek manuscripts so kind of have to guess you know was this a question was this a decorative, now if it was an exclamatory that was easy they just wrote the word or the statement twice, so like when Jesus is on the cross and he says Eloi Eloi, he probably only actually said that once but he probably screamed it yelled it you know with with much Gusto and they were probably just indicating that should be an exclamation point. Pastor Newms: [23:59] Yeah. Pastor Bill: [24:03] Okay, so this is a story where we get the idea of doubting Thomas right he doubted and that's why he didn't have as much Faith as the other Apostles and that's why he, mmm he was hurting from the trauma of what happened and that's why and on and on and on and on okay, and so we hear this rhetoric about all the other Apostles are blessed and you're blessed to because you didn't have to see it, you've just taken it on faith but real quick let's go back to Luke, if you can type this into the restream client for me Luke chapter 24 and we're going to be reading verses 36 through 40 3, and Luke actually tells us what happened seven days earlier when Jesus appeared to the eleven, starting in verse 36 as they were saying these things he himself stood in their midst he said to them peace to you but they were startled and terrified and thought they were seeing a ghost. They doubted that he was really the resurrected Christ. Pastor Newms: [25:29] Yeah. Pastor Bill: [25:32] Why are you troubled he asked them and why do doubts arise in your hearts look at my hands and my feet that it is I myself, touch me and see because the ghost does not have Flesh and Bones as you can see I have. Having said this he showed them his hands and feet while they still were amazed and in disbelief because of their Joy, he asked them do you have anything to eat so they gave him a piece of a broiled fish and he took it and ate it in their presence so going back to John. After knowing what happened seven days earlier when we read, so the other disciples were telling him we've seen the Lord. It's not that they walked up and said we've seen the Lord they walked up and said, we were there we were hiding from the Jews we were about to have dinner we had this broiled fish this Spirit showed up we were afraid of it we weren't sure what was going on it turned out to be Jesus he showed us the holes in his hands the hole in his side the holes in his feet he had us touch him and he is risen and Thomas replies and says until, see and touch. I can't believe that. It's not that he doubted that the resurrection happened or was going to happen. But he looked at the other disciples and he said prove it prove it. So the next time they're up there hiding Thomas is like I'm gonna be there. That's not a doubt that's faith in action. Next time we're next time they're doing that I'm gonna be there I'm gonna be there I'm ready to see, so we can be proved to me Jesus is up put your finger here look at my hands reach out your hand put it in my side don't be faithless but belief. Don't be faithless but believe that's not an accusation or a condemnation, that's a reach your hand out and lifting someone up to you. There's no reason for you to not believe it because it's true here's your evidence it's true all right, um Pastor Newms: [28:29] Now a quick question because I know how much we prepare for this often are you going to touch on the two other times that Thomas is really talked about. Pastor Bill: [28:43] I wasn't gonna but if you'd like to you go for it. Pastor Newms: [28:45] I would so you know we call him doubting Thomas we push that narrative because of this particular story but there are two main times that Thomas is talked about in, actually in John also that I, really shows us also part of who Thomas was and how Thomas operated, and wasn't doubting so in I'll type it John 11, five through sixteen and I'm not going to read it. Pastor Bill: [29:21] So this is Lazarus. Pastor Newms: [29:23] I'm not going to read it verbatim I'm just going to kind of, give you the thing so that way we have time to discuss the rest of the points but in there geez Lazarus is dead and they're like. Pastor Bill: [29:39] Jesus and his followers are in hiding. Pastor Newms: [29:44] They're not there and Jesus is like okay let's go to Judah and the disciples are like whoa will will will. Pastor Bill: [29:51] Where they where he's wanted Dead. Pastor Newms: [29:52] Yeah they're like the disciples are like whoa. Pastor Bill: [29:54] Whoa bro. Pastor Newms: [29:56] Just now the Jews tried to Stone you are why are we going to go back we're going to get stoned to which Jesus gives them an answer you know it's a good answer. Pastor Bill: [30:09] Well he kind of your concerns are trivial. Pastor Newms: [30:11] He gets on to him yeah it's like you don't matter our friends asleep but we got to go wake him up which I love. Pastor Bill: [30:16] Yeah we got better things to do than worry about stonings. Pastor Newms: [30:21] And then Thomas called the twin said to the fellow disciples let us go too so we can die with him. Pastor Bill: [30:29] So we can die with her Jesus gonna go get some we're gonna go to. Pastor Newms: [30:33] Like the disciples like whoa whoa whoa whoa Jesus they're going to try to kill you dude like Homie we can't do the and Thomas is like I'm down let's go so Thomas was, I do this is terrible this is terrible I can't believe my mind even when here but Thomas is Hardcore right here a ride-or-die. Pastor Bill: [30:56] Yeah he's a ride or die man. Pastor Newms: [30:57] Like and as a terrible euphemism for this but hey you know. Pastor Bill: [31:02] It really is but it's the it's the sentiment there for sure. Pastor Newms: [31:05] Yeah and then when we look at the Last Supper which is in John 14, one through seven with so again still John. The Lord's talking about hey I'm going to, I'm going and then I'm coming again and he's given the whole the whole aspect and Thomas is like Lord we don't we don't know what where are you going how do we know the way like how can we follow you, basically and Jesus is like well I'm the way the truth the life no one comes to the father except through me, we've covered that you know in  Christian world forever if you know me you'll also know my father from now from now on you do know him and have seen him and then. Because of that then Phillip is just like show us the father that's enough for us you know and so Thomas is question there, wasn't we, it was again it was him being literally ride or die like okay where we going how we going to get there I'm there with you we got this no problems this is not an issue we're down and. Pastor Bill: [32:33] He was he was basically imma go where you go but if you leave I'm on need a new Navigator because you're the Navigator. Pastor Newms: [32:41] Yeah I'm only following you how do I know who to follow if it's not you. Pastor Bill: [32:46] If you leave. Pastor Newms: [32:47] Literally asking God asking Jesus okay, we get it you got to die we understand you're the Messiah you're going to you're here to save us your great sacrifice has no questions on any of that never had to be gotten on 24, other things like certain Apostles had to like you know becoming the main person who you know, influenced all of church history but denied Christ three times and had, to have Jesus answered the same question like six times so you know we don't see that with Thomas Thomas is like I'm here it's so in my mind. Pastor Bill: [33:33] We opened his mouth when he have something to say. Pastor Newms: [33:36] Yeah in my mind. Pastor Bill: [33:38] It's the only shows up twice. Pastor Newms: [33:41] In my mind, through his his question of I don't believe you is not I don't believe God I don't believe Jesus in this it's I do. Pastor Bill: [33:57] I don't believe I don't believe he's not going to resurrect I don't believe your. Pastor Newms: [34:01] I don't trust you, he was straight so yeah he doubted someone but it wasn't Jesus he had no problem following Jesus literally to the end and then asking him who's next, who do we follow When You're Gone had no problem with that had no problem with the understanding that he was going to go and then he was going to come, no problems he doesn't ask again in these passages that we see. Pastor Bill: [34:31] He definitely had this strong understanding of what was going on we see this idea of let's just go die with him, carried out in Paul's teachings you know for me, to live is Christ to die is gain you see this played out and then he's got this full where do we go and then you see this played out again where Jesus says well who do you say that I am and, and Peter asked we'll where else would we go well this is an idea that. Thomas has been holding onto for a while here Peter you're just now getting here welcome to the party. And then if you'll type in first John chapter 4 verse 1 we have this another idea where, Thomas says I don't believe you, and then we see this play out again first John 4:1 dear friends do not believe every Spirit but test the spirits to see if they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world right so even these people that he knew, had been walking with Jesus with him even though they had this history he looked at them and said I'm gonna need. You to prove the word that you just brought me, prove it okay and so we're kind of on the same topic here but we're pivoting slightly, and let's talk about out deconstruction. Pastor Newms: [36:18] Mmm. Pastor Bill: [36:22] Thomas and deconstruction Thomas said prove it. And waited for the only evidence that he knew was available and how did he know that evidence was available, because they came to me and said we saw him we touched him, he had the holes it was all there and Thomas said I ain't going to believe you until I see evidence of that. Right now we have this whole deconstruction movement, yes I believe it is a movement I believe personally I believe that the same thing that God did through John the Baptist, where he called people to repentance to make way for a move of the Lord and this case the arrival of the Lord, is the same thing God's doing now in the hearts and minds of all these people that are being pulled away from, the religious status quo that's been set up right. And you see all these videos where these pastors are talking down about deconstruction and they're talking bad about deconstructionist and the railing hard on all these things and then you see all these videos by the JC constructionists and when they're not retelling and reliving the trauma, that they feel led them to deconstruction they're telling stories of deeper faith, not all of them some of them deconstruct and they realize they don't believe, which we've already talked about that I think it's better to deconstruct and believe you and find out you don't believe now, then to fool yourself into believing your whole life that you had faith and it having that moment that Jesus talks about where where you know you're like God I did cast out demons in your name I did miniature name and Jesus goes, but I never knew you we never had a relationship better to find that out now than then. Pastor Newms: [38:40] Yeah because that gives that still gives you that time for repentance later that time to find God again. Pastor Bill: [38:48] I celebrate that you have that time, um and then you have these other people that deconstruct and they find this deeper more meaningful relationship with the Lord and a deeper version of Faith than they ever had in the church, and they're more peace and they're more connected with God and there are more love than more biblical Christians because of it, and so I thought it would be nice, to talk about it and it's less talk about it because. You know between us me and you Pastor newms and a lot of people don't know that part of my calling I feel like is to call out the modern Church, call it out for not being this not living up to this. Pastor Newms: [39:42] You definitely do that. Pastor Bill: [39:45] That's part I feel like it's part of my calling and to emphasize faith hope and love to love people love people call out God's church to where it's supposed to be, and love those people at the same time I feel like that's where I am okay so, I made a list of the things that I believe are inspiring deconstruction. From a Biblical point of view. Okay I believe that people are deconstructing because the modern Church, has brought a message of Jesus and faith and the Bible and then failed, to look after orphans and widows like we're told to do in James 1:27 failed, to love God. All of their hearts that have chose children politics in some cases instead and failed to love our neighbor as ourself and chosen lots of other reasons instead, as we're told in Mark chapter 12 and again in Matthew I don't remember what chapter is there Dave the modern church has failed, to submit to governmental authorities President Biden is your president, Romans chapter 13 tells us to submit to governmental authorities and you can argue all day long, that when Paul wrote Romans he didn't mean governmental authorities but go back and reread it because it talks about this Authority being armed, physically armed to physically protect you and to physically punished, those who are evil doers and that's not the church, the church is not physically armed to punish evildoers that's governments that's governmental Authority. Um this one's a long this is out of Romans chapter 12 the modern church has failed to love without hypocrisy failed to detest evil, failed to outdo each other in showing honor, failed to rejoice in Hope failed in being patient in Affliction sales in pursuing Hospitality failed in blessing people that persecute them, sailed and rejoicing with people who Rejoice failed in Weeping with people who we, failed in living in harmony with others failed and being humble instead of proud failed and not repaying evil for evil fails and what I'm doing is what it in doing what is Honorable, in everyone's eyes failed at living in peace with everyone failed and not avenging themselves, failed at feeding their enemies when they're hungry or giving them something to drink when they're thirsty failed at combating evil with good instead of, combating evil with evil the modern church has failed to remember that there is faith there is hope and there is love, greatest of those is love. And I believe biblically these are why people are deconstructing because the modern Church doesn't look like this anymore. Pastor Newms: [43:18] Yeah and I think a lot of it has to do with and I want to be clear to people who might not know, when we say the modern church we don't mean every modern church we mean the church as a whole. Pastor Bill: [43:35] The church we're all guilty all of us. Pastor Newms: [43:38] Exactly the. Pastor Bill: [43:39] A church emulation Christians as a whole we are all guilty because we have failed to hold each other accountable I'm including myself, as a as a Christian as a pastor I've failed to do my part to hold other pastors and other Christians accountable in these areas, until recently no more I will no longer be that quiet voice I'm calling them out I'm calling out we need to love, I mean the. Pastor Newms: [44:09] Yeah. Pastor Bill: [44:10] Is the modern Church all of us all believers. Pastor Newms: [44:14] So there are some that are doing good in some of these aspects, and some of them are so definitely not calling out every individual for every one of these of course because that would be crazy. Pastor Bill: [44:37] And it's impossible to do all of these you would need a you would need a budget the size of I was about to say the name of a church you would need the budget a budget the size of the US government. Pastor Newms: [44:51] To fully. Pastor Bill: [44:51] To do all of these. Pastor Newms: [44:53] But the point is we should be trying to continue there's a lot of churches out there that have. And when I say church is there's a lot of denominations out there that only focused on themselves. Pastor Bill: [45:12] And congregations to. Pastor Newms: [45:13] And congregations that only funded themselves only funded people that came out of them only funded people that worked for them directly and then you've got. Pastor Bill: [45:25] There's like there's a youth pastors of Pastor in Oklahoma on Tick Tock have used to be a youth pastor and he quit because they were saying things to him like, you need to stop hanging out at the YMCA and to administer to those black boys, and only focus on the children of the tithers that come to this church. Pastor Newms: [45:48] And in situations there's a lot of churches now that are working with food pantries that are secular organizations but they're filling the need they can't because they already have the setup. Pastor Bill: [46:03] Why we promote and raise try to raise funds for I personally raise funds for but anyway for the Trevor Project, secular organization lgp lgbtq+ youth can call in for free and get support and help and and help through those issues that they're having emotionally and with fitting in with their environment and all of the pressure they have coming against them and that's literally, the highest at-risk group for suicide in the United States. And so many Christians are just turning a blind eye to it if you truly believe, hey you're supposed to be spreading faith and bringing people to Christ why would you ignore an organization. Helps people live longer and has a reach that you don't have, to literally save people's lives so they have a chance of salvation.  Pastor Newms: [47:11] And you know that's such a big aspect of why. We support organizations like that in situations like that because without a chance, find repentance sadly we know how that ends and so we've got to increase, people's chances to give everyone a shot and that means making sure children aren't starving to death that means making sure people are loved, and and you know sadly not, as you said Bill not every church can do everything but if every Church truly followed the New Testament teachings of taking care of the community we wouldn't have a lot of the issues that we do, Countrywide and worldwide if if churches and Christians tie. Pastor Bill: [48:24] I'm so I'm so I'm so tired of hearing Christians who are steeped in politics complaining about welfare. And then not supporting food banks Ike, don't I just don't get that like if you don't want to pay taxes to support welfare then do your part to change that for the future, raise awareness about food bags raise awareness about organizations that help people with school supplies and and shoes and fill in the blanks where their jobs can't, if you're really that worried about being charged taxes to help people survive, raise awareness for programs that do that so that welfare can be taken out of the equation in the future. Pastor Newms: [49:29] And the failures of the church, is what caused the government to need to step in if the church had not. Not been doing what they were supposed to be doing and taking care of widows and orphans and taking care of single parent families and taking care of you know we wouldn't have needed, a lot of the government programs that the country needs because, we can't and sadly as a quote-unquote and I say quote unquote very strongly Christian Nation, we forsake a lot of the values that are taught in the New Testament, myself I don't like a lot of socialistic programs and the reason I don't like them is not because I think they're wrong, I don't like them because our government Miss manages them and the people who truly need help aren't getting it. So that's what I don't like so that's why a lot of times like, similar I said someone I don't like socialistic programs and they're like oh we don't care about this I was like no I do I just think our government would mess it up, I look at how the government treats veterans and then terrifies me for them to to be in charge of my health care I see how they treat, disabled people on disability and how hard it is to get disability and how hard it is to be able to be funded when you can't work and how much they reject and then it's like well. What are they going to do if I get to that point like so for me that's my issue with our social social programs is they don't do enough for the correct reasons because. Pastor Bill: [51:43] And every but but every church has to have a pretty new Fountain out front never church has to have new carpeting in the foyer and every church has to have, as much money as they ditch the church in the United States brings in, and then spins within its own four walls, if that money was pulled together in cooperation with all believers we could get rid of welfare, because we could the church could be meeting those needs. Pastor Newms: [52:18] And. Pastor Bill: [52:20] Our church buildings would go to crap but God never wanted temples he wanted her heart. Pastor Newms: [52:29] And. Pastor Bill: [52:30] Why are we spending so much money and making temples. Pastor Newms: [52:34] And it's definitely something that and even in that we as Christians individuals. Are failing in so many ways because so often we're not given to our churches and we're not we're only giving to our government and. Pastor Bill: [52:59] We're not even get most of those aren't even giving the ten percent that, the Bible you know in Malachi says you know you should dedicate this part to God most of those aren't even doing that when I even given that 10% of the church. Pastor Newms: [53:16] And and it definitely and this is in no way shape form or idea or thing of saying give us money because, it's not just to be clear on that we are a 501 c 3 we are a church we are we do give two, Ministry other Ministries and other things, the aspect that we're talking about is as a whole we as Christians and we as the church have to step up and stop waiting on someone else to fix the issues. Pastor Bill: [54:02] It's the sitting back and watching it's created a culture, where the church doesn't look like this anymore and so people are understandably and with my support questioning what the church has taught them. And not always finding the answers here and deciding I don't believe that I think I'm going to be an atheist now. Looks like I said. Better now than later. But if your goal is truly the gospel and making disciples and and spreading the word and loving like Jesus loved. It's one of the work that needs to be done a lot of renovation and I don't mean to the to the fellowship hall at your local congregations. Unless you're holding daily dinners they're feeding the hungry and the loss and the homeless and then by golly upgrade them chairs go for it you're doing it right you're doing something right. Pastor Newms: [55:35] There are definitely times where it is needed if your buildings are being used for outreach make sure they look at least good. Pastor Bill: [55:43] But if your buildings are just an echo chamber to pay yourselves on the back. And you're not looking after orphans and widows you're not loving the neighborhood around you and you're not fulfilling Romans chapter 12 or First Corinthians 13. I just I can't I can't with you I just. I'm sorry I have no words I can't play Kate and I can't sugarcoat this it's just not right. So there you go there's my take on Thomas. Pastor Newms: [56:33] Yep. Pastor Bill: [56:35] All right well this podcast comes out every Wednesday night at Seven PM wherever you get podcasts, and if you'd like to join us when we record it live we do that on Sundays at 6:30 p.m. Central Standard time we go live on Facebook YouTube and, twitch you can go to our website ekk.house, to find out which Choice which Facebook and which YouTube and then if you'd like to join us on our Discord server so you can chat with us throughout the week or be a part of the chat as well during life because you can be a part of the chat on Facebook YouTube and twitch just right there too then you can send us an email, info@ekk.house that email does go straight to me because you're literally work looking at everyone that works for the church and only one of us worked for the church on days that don't start in son.

We begin on somber note, with the passing of friend and contributor Erik Kristopher Myers, who will be greatly missed. Then we take a close look at cards, and how they have been used to foretell, trick, amaze, deceive, and swindle. Learn how racism was "in the cards" for fortune tellers in the early 20th century, and how Tarot seems to be ancient and exotic but really isn't. We discuss the rise and fall of Zener cards to "prove" ESP, and how quickly people adapted playing cards to be instruments of trickery. Plus, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle makes multiple appearances as we weave our way through card history!

Have you ever wondered who is more psychic, Ross or Carrie? Well, thanks to The Amazing Kreskin's mid-century board game, “Kreskin's ESP,” the two have now been formally tested using completely unimpeachable scientific methods. Together, in under two hours' time, they put to bed the age-old question of whether telepathy, clairvoyance and divination are real (they are) and which of them is three times as psychic as the other (which is still not very psychic).For pics and videos, follow us on Facebook!

Transcript [00:00:00] Patrick Swift, PhD, MBA, FACHE: [00:00:00] Welcome folks to another episode of the Swift healthcare podcast . I'm Patrick Swift, your host, and I want to thank you for being here. Thank you for listening from South Africa and Latin America and Europe and the United States and all over. I'm grateful for our listeners and thank you for your support, uh, for the podcast as well. So for our show today, I have a wonderful guest, Dr. Madina Estephan, Madina . Welcome to the show. [00:00:24] Madina Estephan, MD, MPH: [00:00:24] Hello. Hello, Dr. Swift . Thank you very much for inviting me. I'm so glad to be here today on show. [00:00:34] Patrick Swift, PhD, MBA, FACHE: [00:00:34] I'm delighted you're here. I know that I know you used the word to let it all the time because I am delighted. Uh, and I'm so delighted to hear folks. Um, Dr. Estephan  Madina , uh, is in Paris, France. And so I'm just like jump up and down. Pinch myself, excited, having been to Paris, having a great love for Paris as in American, how wonderful it is to have a guest on the show that's  broadcasting from Paris, so, and a physician from Paris. So. [00:01:00] Here's Dr. Madina Estephan's  bio coming from a family of three generations of healthcare professionals. Dr. Estefan, whose  passion for the medical field was inspired at an early age. Can you imagined growing up at that household? , it led her to earn a medical degree. Obtain a master's degree in public health and as a multilingual multicultural health professional with over 20 years, clinical practice and international management experience, her career has been focused on training and consultancy. And she's focused on empowering you. [00:01:31] She's focused on empowering healthcare professionals, healthcare leaders, healthcare providers, um, to unfold their therapeutic excellence. Unlock internal resources and unleash practical wisdom. I love that. I think we could all, you know, I got some gray hairs and lost all the hair on the top of my head. I think we could all use some, um, some wisdom and practical tools. [00:01:51] So we're focusing on compassion, optimism, and practical wisdom for this episode. So that being said, Dr. [00:02:00] Estefan, let's just jump in Medina or a question here. Um, you know, welcome to the show from Paris. What's going on in Paris, right in here. What's the what's what's the latest. How, how, how are things. [00:02:12]Madina Estephan, MD, MPH: [00:02:12] Listen, the good news. I have two news. Good news. Bad news. I'll start with the good one. The good news is that we have wonderful weather and the spring came. And so, uh, that's, uh, gives your energy, right? And the other staff is that we were in the middle of the pandemic. That's a bad piece of news, but we're rather struggling and the making all the best in the healthcare systems,  this, , third wave  slowly but surely so, and hopefully we'll be over that. And then we will welcome guests from the other side of a planet in Paris. One day. [00:03:00] [00:03:00] Patrick Swift, PhD, MBA, FACHE: [00:03:00] Of course, of course I was listening to BBC and, uh, yesterday world service. And, um, there was a piece on, I believe, 80,000 new cases and, , you as a leader in, um, services and consulting and support, um, I know that you're in the middle of, , , helping healthcare professionals, , dealing with the burnout and the struggle and the pandemic and, and for the show, we're focusing on compassion, practical wisdom, and optimism. [00:03:30] One of the things you talk about as soft skills and the importance of soft skills, and I would call them survival skills as well. What are the, what are the soft skills that, that healthcare professionals can be mindful of in their daily life right now? Just to get through everything going on. [00:03:49] Madina Estephan, MD, MPH: [00:03:49] So you're absolutely right. It's not only survival skills. So I will say like French people also, so savoir vivre , right. Uh, [00:04:00] to know how to leave, you have to know  to know how to be in Samoa fair, to know what to do. So let's call them survival or even human skills or skills of how to be, right. So, because somewhere what to do, we know as healthcare professionals and patient is expecting from us, the knowledge they expertize. [00:04:32] So knowledge in your specific specialty, the hard knowledge, right? And the other side, we need those survival skills, uh, to know how to be ourself, how to protect ourselves, how to give the best of ourselves. Right. So, and amongst those soft skills for me, there are some which is absolutely [00:05:00] necessary to have in your toolbox, like a tool of books, like compassion, optimism, or those ma uh, practical wisdom skills, which are in a capacity. [00:05:14] I think of the health care professionals. So, and when talking about compassion, Coming from the Latin word com passion , literally, which means I suffer with is the capacity of feeling suffering of the other's pain. Right. But all the other sides there is another part of the story is the willingness to act and do something to relieve suffering from the other one . [00:05:45] Right. This is the, the, uh, the most, let's say demanding part of the compassion to be compassionate. I like the composition  that compassion is in love in [00:06:00] action. It means to be able to put. Some kind of action plan to relieve the suffering from others. But as healthcare professionals, we're deeply suffering ourselves. [00:06:14] Right? When we exercising our duty everyday duty activities, we have plenty of professional risks. There, including emotional exhaustion, distress, burnout, et cetera, and, uh, compassion, fatigue. So, first of all, we have to learn how to be compassionate with ourself, right. To stop and use the skills of compassion toward ourselves as the healthcare professionals and be able to them. [00:06:48] Patrick Swift, PhD, MBA, FACHE: [00:06:48] I'm so glad you said that because it's about. If, if we are reminded every day to be compassionate with our selves with ourselves, it's still not enough. [00:07:00] We in the health care profession, you saying the importance of self compassion and for a listener right now, whether you're a healthcare leader, healthcare provider, um, healthcare professional, anyone working in healthcare, uh, Dr. Estephan's . Voice I'm telling you the importance of self-compassion. We needed that every day, uh, to be compassionate with ourselves and, and Medina, you speak about, um, emotional assertiveness of, of, um, come across some things you've written. And, um, I would appreciate your thoughts about emotional assertiveness in light of preventing burnout or addressing burnout or reducing burnout. [00:07:38] What's the importance of emotional assertiveness? What's that about? [00:07:43] Madina Estephan, MD, MPH: [00:07:43] Thank you Patrick, for this question because emotional assertiveness actually is a tool. Let's say, well, it's not invented by me. It was invented by invented or concept alive by John Parr, who is a UK, uh, doctor of [00:08:00] psychology. And actually it's a kind of tool which helps you regulate difficult emotions. [00:08:09]Okay. In the way of understanding that we all are looking for the inner state of happiness, right? And this inner state of happiness can be of different degree for, from calm to joy. Right. And to get the Zener state of happiness we're always handling or, um, uh, facing different type of emotions. I, those emotions, the principal one is an anger. [00:08:42] When something's going on around ourselves, in the environment, something goes wrong. We react in the first reaction is always anger. Then there can be anger, which is not expressed. Right. And then w [00:09:00] we can not handle the singer or express it authentic when it's happened. We're going to. focus  and anger deeply inside of ourself and hurting somewhere else, self knowing what's going on with you, internalized anger, which is actually the part of the story. [00:09:23]So facing these anger and be able to express anger in the right manner and the right place with the right person is the kind of emotional assertiveness . Yes. [00:09:38] Patrick Swift, PhD, MBA, FACHE: [00:09:38] I love it. I love it. The notion of being angry at the right person at the right reason at the right time, [00:09:45] Madina Estephan, MD, MPH: [00:09:45] authentically  yes, typically affected that's that's the most important and how to learn, how to, to learn, to express the singer. First of all, to feel it, to [00:10:00] understand why, where. And from which part of you is coming from the past experience over the future experience, and then anchor yourself here in here now. [00:10:11] So emotional assertiveness  to express your rights and do what is right to do without harming others and taking the right of others. [00:10:24] Patrick Swift, PhD, MBA, FACHE: [00:10:24] Beautiful. Beautiful. And these are all critical, um, skills, soft skills, emotional assertiveness, that the self-reflection what you're speaking about or that self-awareness and applying it. I want to move on to, um, the current pandemic and what that's revealed. Um, is it the bottom, if there were an iceberg, uh, going on right now in healthcare, um, uh, what has the pandemic revealed? Is that the bottom of the iceberg of the challenges we're facing in healthcare? Preventing Burnout.  What's that iceberg? What's the bottom of the iceberg right now, in your perspective. [00:11:00] [00:11:00] Madina Estephan, MD, MPH: [00:11:00] Yeah. Uh, I think the, the bottom of the iceberg is there. We don't, I mean, we all know that, uh, exercise as a healthcare professional, where facing the professional risks of mental health or physical health risks. And mental health risks because they are known . Right. We know that the burnout among  the healthcare professionals are, uh, the risk of burnout is higher than a different to other professions. Right. Uh, and the risk of mental health problems . Is, especially during the pandemic, most evident, we have a more anxiety depression, suicide, uh, amongst the healthcare professionals. That was the recent reports and servers are showing from different countries, right from the UK, from United States, from France. And, uh, we faced also the. tremendous amount of health, [00:12:00] healthcare professionals quitting their  job. I mean, there have been 10,000 nurses since the pandemic in France who quit their jobs and they don't want to continue. Yeah. It just in   France, hundreds, thousands in the UK, 8,000 midwives . Every second physician in France declared to be burnout declared. So it's auto declaration means that it's a largely underestimated. So, uh, um, pandemic previous, [00:12:36] Patrick Swift, PhD, MBA, FACHE: [00:12:36] if I may jump in and it's perfect, there's a siren in the background and Paris right now. It's, it's, there's a siren going around the planet have you seen. um, it's, it's, it's R it's poetic that that's happening. And so this is an elephant in the room in healthcare. And so why do you think burnout remains an elephant in the room in healthcare? [00:13:01] [00:13:00] Madina Estephan, MD, MPH: [00:13:01] We know this elephant, right   from long, long ago, many, many years, why it remains ? Because. From my side. I think system is itself. It's a rigid system, right? And to me maintaining the, uh, the heirarchical system or rigid system, um, they do not have interests to give the power or to empower the healthcare professionals. [00:13:33] Completely, that's one on the other side, this elephant, everyone is looking from the different parts. I mean, we are completely blinded. You're like blinded, but absolutely. And you are looking from the side of the head, I'm looking on the size of the tail and each one is giving their own prescriptions what to do and how to make sure that this elephant can be okay. Yeah. taken [00:14:00] off  from this room. Without crashing the whole house and somewhere we are afraid  to do so, because we don't know exactly from what to start. From [00:14:14] Patrick Swift, PhD, MBA, FACHE: [00:14:14] fear and the [00:14:14] Madina Estephan, MD, MPH: [00:14:14] I'm convinced that yeah. Fear and emotions. Yeah. Fear, fear, fear, because it's unknown. What's going to happen doctor, but I'm convinced that the, the, uh, strengths which community can bring each individual can bring. In healthcare system is enormous. I mean, giving the power to doctors, giving the power to healthcare professionals, empower them, giving them skills, right? Skills of leadership, the survival skills to exercise better. Their professional protect themselves from the, uh, professional risks will somewhere [00:15:00] makes this elephant  smaller. Then we need systemic changes. Of course, organizational and other. [00:15:07] Patrick Swift, PhD, MBA, FACHE: [00:15:07] So true. So true. So true. And I, as a side note, I have to apologize about the over-talking. Um, there's a little delay US to Paris. So my apologies, if I've, I've been I've, over-talked what you've been saying here, but I want to move to, um, practical wisdom as well. We're talking about compassion, optimism, practical wisdom. [00:15:26] Um, what are your thoughts about what are, what are, what is some practical wisdom? Number one? What's your sense of what practical wisdom is is to, um, what are some, um, perspectives that healthcare professionals can embrace or use to help improve themselves their lives, address, burnout, address their professional development, um, what's practical wisdom. And then how does it apply to what we're doing as healthcare professionals [00:15:51] Madina Estephan, MD, MPH: [00:15:51] it's a great question, Patrick. Great question. And [00:15:58] Patrick Swift, PhD, MBA, FACHE: [00:15:58] in five minutes? [00:16:00] [00:16:00] Madina Estephan, MD, MPH: [00:16:00] tons of literature, tons of publication on the subject into words. Okay. So, um, I found the great definition of Leo Tolstoy, but I will give it to you later. I think as a physicians, we're really, uh, trained to face the, uh, uncertain situations. Unpredictable sometimes situations. And we're definitely that case. Now our Canadian colleagues are using the abbreviation CINE . [00:16:42] To describe what's going on with pandemic C is control, no control, right? Or difficult to control. I is unpredictable because we, I don't know if there will be another fourth or fifths wave and so on and how the patients are reacting. [00:17:00] We know better than disease now situation now, but still there's some unpredictability, right? CINE, and it's a new, it was new for everyone. We never faced it before. Right. And in healthcare we used sometimes on the new situations, which never faced before. And an E is ego or threat to ego threat to ego. Uh, currently we have direct threat to healthcare professionals, health. Right and threat to the health of the patient. [00:17:35] So anyway as a healthcare professional. So world were used to these four factors and we, as much as we can find solutions, so solutions are by Aristotle thought was needed. The prudence or practical wisdom or pronounces, right. Is knowing. [00:18:00] The right thing to do in a particular circumstances, through understanding those circumstances, rightly knowing what metric matters and effective means and reasoning to bring out what matters it means for me, it is a healthcare practice practitioners. [00:18:24] We can't know everything. We can't have all the knowledge, but knowing what is not necessary or less necessarily, well, even not to at all necessary somewhere is the capacity of putting right action in the right place. So those famous wisdom skills, and also we can look at some wisdom skills, the skills of self regulation self-reflection [00:19:00] taking action , uh, without us, uh, socially oriented to actions who pro-social behaviors. Right? So, uh, Starting from that we can cultivate it. We can nurture cultivate and have the kind of tools and programs to strengthen them or to bring them on the surface to practice them. Yeah. [00:19:29] Patrick Swift, PhD, MBA, FACHE: [00:19:29] Madina Estephan  THAT is practical wisdom. I, uh, I appreciate that perspective. Love that. Love it. And, and let me ask you my favorite question to ask my guests, which is If you had the attention of all the healthcare professionals around the planet for a brief moment and all of us, what would you say to us? [00:19:47]Madina Estephan, MD, MPH: [00:19:47] I know how difficult is it right now? And many of you are on the front line and many of you  can feel alone  and [00:20:00] can feel hopeless. Uh, I would say asking for help is not a kind of weakness or despair. It's the sign of strengths and resolution, and actually it's a part of problem solving. So asking for help actually is a part of the problem solving. [00:20:30] Patrick Swift, PhD, MBA, FACHE: [00:20:30] I love it. I love it. I love your encouragement for folks to be aware that it's not a sign of weakness. It's actually a sign of strength to ask for help. Uh, we, [00:20:39] Madina Estephan, MD, MPH: [00:20:39] Thanks and resolution. Yeah. [00:20:42] Patrick Swift, PhD, MBA, FACHE: [00:20:42] we can. I only do this together. This is not about just, um, this is not about the ego. It's about, it's about caring. It's about concern. It's about compassion. So beautifully said, Madina . If folks are interested in following up with you, um, where, where can they go? [00:21:00] [00:21:00] Madina Estephan, MD, MPH: [00:21:00] They can easily find me on LinkedIn and I would reply to everyone who is interested.

In this episode, I invited my good friend Jagdeep Singh Bhatia (JD) for a conversation to decode his career. JD is currently a founder and managing director for Zener Maritime Solutions. From a humble beginning, JD and his family have built Zener to be a truly global company from offices in India, China, Netherlands, Singapore, and the United States of America. JD, in his initial years, has personally rolled up his sleeves to learn and lead the way for his company to be a global giant. JD's leadership and approach to global business are pretty unique. I would welcome each one of you to listen and get dazzled with his journey.

Cian quits the cabin and travels to London where he’s joined by Faye from Youtube’s The Ghost Trail and Ali from punk band The Scuts to test whether any of them really have any psychic ability using the (infamous) Zener cards. Yes, the ones from Ghostbusters. Invented by Karl Zener for JB Rhine back in the 1930s, Zener cards were instrumental in Rhine’s decades-long attempt to get proper scientific evidence for what he termed ‘extra sensory perception’, and get real scientific recognition for the field of parapsychology along the way. Rhine did succeed in creating one of the only actual university departments dedicated to studying the paranormal, so Cian and his team decide it’s high time they test his methods and see exactly WHAT"S IN THE CARDS for them! Back off man, we're scientists!

  He’s sometimes known as Dr. Amazon, and he is the embodiment of Eastern mysticism meeting Western science and ideas. It was no easy journey for him to reach that embodiment, and today he is sharing his well-earned wisdom on today’s episode of Awesome Health Podcast. Despite growing up in a traditional household, Dr. Stefan marched to the beat of his own drummer from early on. As a child he would play outside and would feel as though the plants were speaking to him. He loved the connection he felt to them and it is something he honors today. With his own drum beat still calling him forward, he attended Duke University for his undergraduate studies. He was drawn to Duke in particular, and later he discovered why: they had a parapsychology department and he was fascinated! That fascination led him to meet some equally interesting people like Elmer Green, the biofeedback innovator. And eventually those experiences led him to study transpersonal psychology and earn his PhD. But those weren’t the only intriguing events of his life, today he shares his own near-death experience, and what it was like to work with Wall Street experts. You’ll also hear about his time spent with indigenous peoples and how he came to be the medical ambassador for the Navajo Nation. Dr Stefan J. Kasian is helping them to build a native children’s hospital and to find ways of bringing new mental health care via technology for their underserved people. Join us for those tales and so much more on this episode of Awesome Health Podcast!

It's Wade T Lightheart from the Awesome Health Podcast and I'm here with Dr Stefan and we'll get into his variety of names, his variety of lifetimes, his variety of interests. Dr Stefan is an incredible guy. Sometimes some people call him Doctor Amazon as he's a naturopathic doctor. He also studied, uh, medicine at Duke. He's going to talk about that. He's also an extremely spiritual guy. He's into a lot of psychological stuff and he's one of the most remarkable individuals I know. In fact, I've been friends with Stefan for, well, geez, it must be getting close to 13-14 years. It's a long time. It's a long time. We met in Sedona, Arizona as both of us we're kind of engaged in a spiritual, said, path. And that is our journey for self-realization to ourselves. And we have found that we had a lot of common interests. Wade Lightheart: But let's get into a little bit about your background because you know, it's hard to peg you down, doc. I mean, geez, you've done so many things and you have such a broad brush stroke. Can you give our people before we get into today's talk, which I think is gonna mind blow about what you're doing with indigenous people, what you're doing with some of these, uh, medicines that are found in the Amazon. Of course, your medical background, your naturopath, the background, your psychological way. I mean it's just you're just a Jack of all trades and you're really good at all these things. How did you get here? How did you get on this journey and where's it going? Stefan J.Kasian: Well, my friend, I want to thank you for the opportunity to, to spend some time with you and do this lovely chat. It reminds me a little bit of the kind of talks we had in the Amazon with the indigenous tribes where in, you know, instead of watching television, we spent our time tell a vision. So here we are sharing stories with each other and, and life is about stories and the Epic journey we're, we embark on, we all have these, these stories in us and I feel privileged that I've had a chance to live out some amazing ones. I really have. Um, so yeah, there's so many things to cover, but I definitely want to share some salient bits of my story and, um, you know, invite your listeners to go on that journey with me if they feel the resonance. So, yeah. Um, I mean I just, I just know when I was a kid, I was born in a traditional Ukrainian household, if you will. Stefan J.Kasian: Even though I grew up outside New York city, I, uh, I was raised in a very central, traditional values. All my family was born and raised in Ukraine, my roots. And, uh, they were, they were farmers and landowners, wealthy farmers and landowners, and they were really connected with nature. So here I grew up in a traditional household with those kinds of values. And yet when I went outside and I would play, you know, as a kid, climb the apple tree and grow, grow the flowers and tend the garden, I almost feel like I could talk to the plants. I almost felt like I could hear their music and hear their residence. So I didn't know quite what to do with it. Because as kids we, we see things that adults don't, you know, we have these boundaries that no one told us. We couldn't see this. Stefan J.Kasian: No one could told us we couldn't explore the experiences. And then fast forward a few decades later, here I go, I'm in the jungle with the Koran, Darrow shaman and they're like the plants of course you can talk to the plants, they can sing you, why can't you hear their music? So, you know, life is about going that full circle and finding and reconnecting with who we really are and not just simply um, you know, getting lost in the world or just getting lost in the book knowledge as well. You know, really it was about getting the book knowledge into the heart and, and discovering who we are as souls, as spirits, as essences beyond simply our personality, who we were programmed to race to believe. Wade Lightheart: You know, I think what's really fascinating cause we're going to dive deep into kind of some of the lessons and possibilities that the indigenous people of South America and other indigenous tribes in your work with them in a minute. But I also want to, before we get into that is talk about your past. He had an interesting past where you're kind of going down run route in with Duke university, you had a major life changing experience. Can you talk a little bit about, you know, that pathway coming out of say childhood and young adolescents and then moving onto what was planned to be a career in one thing and then life changes and you ended up in a career in the other thing, but they actually kind of co-contribute. Stefan J.Kasian: uh, and that's what's so wild Wade. It's, is that somehow, you know, there is a higher self in us that I feel guides our decisions in addition to needing to take care of our responsibilities in the world, following that voice inside and doing the hard work necessary for that. So I remember even interviewing during colleges, you know, I looked at Harvard, I looked at Princeton, Yale, and yet I was still somehow drawn to Duke for reasons I could not understand. And later I found out when I got accepted to Duke, Duke had Paris psychology department. And the cool thing about Paris psychology, which is why I think for your listeners is so such a great topic, is there's normal psychology. Psychology is how you study behavior and, and you know, in a very conventional way, A equals B at least to see, you know, just a very, um, logical systematic approach to how people behave and think the Paris psychology is next to that and that studying behaviors beyond things, you can explain what the normal senses. Stefan J.Kasian: And here we go. I mean, I attended Duke and I discovered this Paris psychology department that got kicked out of Duke and is off-campus and known as Ryan research center. So I'm studying premed and psychology and computer science responsibly, if you will. And here I go, a bit of a rebel. I'm, you know, during lunch I sneak off on campus and go study with these Renegade psychologists, these PhD physicists doing these amazing tests. And I'll mention some of these tests because I think it's just important for us to realize, you know, these realms we're talking about that we're into go way beyond the mind, but there's ways to, to grapple with them. So, for example, one test was called the the Zener deck and it was a deck of symbols. So there's five different symbols, you know, you see them in front of you and cards that are flipped upside down and your job is to try to guess what the card says by matching it with these random cards. Stefan J.Kasian: Okay. Um, and that's one test and that's to see if you have this so-called ESP. Can you guess beyond the senses? Can you guess beyond the senses? So, uh, you know, they're those kinds of tests there. There were other tests where they call it remote viewing where people would sit in one room with your eyes closed with blindfolds and someone literally tried to send the message to you, some symbols and you describe what comes to your mind. And I know these experiments sound kind of crude, but over the decades they were done, there've been meta analyses done that, you know, the, the, the way these results are if was way above chance, way beyond chance. Wade Lightheart: The U S military is heavily involved in remote viewing for a variety of it's things since the late sixties and seventies. There's a couple of great, some great books out there. So this is not, it's interesting. A lot of this stuff is on the, on the surface is debunked by, or by what I'd say the quote unquote naysayers out there. Yet the very institutions that are debunking them, there are these pockets of deep research where the highest levels of government and science are actually experimenting kind of on their own while they're telling everybody else no, no, this doesn't really exist. Stefan J.Kasian: Well that's exactly it. And that's why I developed this, a bit of a rebel streak here in studying these things and um, you know, a bit of a rebel curiosity Explorer pioneer streak that has such a fascination doing this work. And, you know, I got to work on wall street for a little bit in connection with my work at Duke and, and uh, even on, I find out the executives on Wall street are interested in intuition and they're willing to even entertain these conversations. So, you know, the, there were, there was the opportunity to kind of cross and blend bridges, find what I'm passionate interest in about and see a way for that to fit in the world in the world actually got interested because you know, if people can make better decisions in Wall street, uh, that may actually improve the bottom line and improve their quality of life. Wade Lightheart: There was a research study actually with CEOs and they found that the best CEOs actually relied on intuition more than any other factor in determining their biggest decisions in company. So a lot of them tend to gather a lot of data or you know, if you say instead of looking at five cards, maybe they're looking at 5,000 components and it's almost impossible to come to an accurate conclusion because you could make very logical arguments both for and against almost any decision inside the company. Uh, you know, as, as a lot of graduate students understand is like, well, if you want to prove anything you can find supporting evidence for virtually almost any sub topic. Topic is subject. So where is truth in that? And the best CEOs actually rely on intuition, the best athletes rely on intuition. And I think some of our greatest decisions or our greatest challenges is to, you know, go with the gut what quote unquote our gut. But what is that, what is this sense of I that seems to exist outside the physical domain. Cause I know here you were traveling down this road in kind of this, you know, you're always kind of treading on both sides of the equation since I've known you, you're going to Duke, something happened and then your whole life changed. Stefan J.Kasian: Well said Wade. I think that the journey kept continuing because um, at Duke I did premed and then I studied, um, I found the pre-med just wasn't addressing everything I thought was possible and healing and medicine. And so I started with my mentor there on mind body medicine study group. And at the time Duke thought that was like blast for me. Even the Dean of medical education thought like, what is this? You know, we don't, and yet 10 years later, 20 years later, dude starts to own money, mind, body department. So, you know, so that was my own intuition to follow. But you know, in that process we brought speakers to campus. Chi workers, um, you know, structural integration therapists, medical intuitives. I met norm Shealy there. He started, uh, he was a neurosurgeon who did his medical intuitive work with Caroline Myss. Stefan J.Kasian: I met him during a conference, Elmer Green, the the um, biofeedback innovator. But even he has stories behind him that he was guided by, you know, knowledge and beings that defined rationality. So I think I was just doing in that constantly. So, um, so continuing on with this journey, I worked at the Monroe Institute for a while and a fascinating place, listeners might love this place. Some of the neuro Institute is an important part of this discussion because it is a central point of discussion that kind of started this brain tech revolution, if you will, which is very relevant to what we're talking about. And we'll explain in a moment. You know, Robert Monroe was his normal left brain guy, executive who during the day he would fall asleep and take a nap, right? So yes, that right. Why not? So we found what happened is in the middle of the day, he would find himself floating over his body. Stefan J.Kasian: He was like, wait, what? What my dead know I'm alive. And then he'd wake up and he's still in it, he body. But that happened a few different times and he thought he was going crazy. He actually went to Duke, the JB Ryan to check this guy out and to see if he was normal and all the doctors said nothing was wrong with him. So these journeys kept explore developing. He was start leaving his body, if you will, at night and journeying to other realms. And he wrote books about this journeys out of the body, far journeys and ultimate journeys. Now I had the privilege of meeting this guy and he was out of this world. Literally. I shook his hand and my hand buzz like I thought he had an electrical buzzer in his hand. Like the con you get an a, you know, a comic store that would shock you but does it. Stefan J.Kasian: So I knew it was a very special man. I was their first and only undergraduate intern. It was an absolute blast working there because they work with sounds and they did this Hemi sync technology and the simple explanation for that is Hemi sync is using the brain as a way of hacking the brain playing two different sounds, one in each ear and the ear hears the difference in the frequencies and uses that to follow the sounds to go into an altered state, um, beyond our normal waking state. So I did a workshop with them called the gateway voyage. They had comped me and we actually had a Wall street executive there and psychics and researchers from around the world is such an amazing time there. And I had my first real experience of this where we're listening to these sounds and we're doing this guided journey, if you will, through these sound patterns. Stefan J.Kasian: And I literally, they call it resident toning. So I was tuning along with these sounds and literally I, I saw what looked like my body, but it was glowing and later I understood that to be an end, like our energy body, if you will. That's, that's an understanding of the literature. So that was one of many glimpses along the way that were way more much more than their physical body. And that was Robert Monroe's teaching from day one. We are more than our physical body. So I was never the same after that. I could never go down a conventional allopathic path, if you will. I love all forms of medicine. I mean a medicine, conventional medicine saved my life twice. But it was naturopathic and holistic medicine that put me back together again. So the two were like friends together. Wade Lightheart: I think that's a very important message for people because there's so many people in a conventional medicine and then, or alternative or natural medicine or holistic medicine, whatever you call it, and they're, they're always, uh, for a great number of people. They're there, they're bad mouthing and bashing the other, which in fact, I think they're just, you know, two ways of, of trying to help people who are having challenges in their life. And, uh, conventional seems to be very good in short term intervention. Very, you know, you're dying. You need a situation, there's something, you need a surgery, you are in a car accident, you're going to die because of something and that may be genetic or whatever. And you repair that. In other words, you put the machine. Okay, we patched it up, we glued it together, we took out with a bad piece. But really in order to really optimize it or treat what the issue was before or to get to the core of the issue, whether that's psychological, whether that's nutritive, whether it's, uh, you know, some other biological system, I think the holistic side, uh, offers some other choices. You want to talk about how that journey kind of led to the next piece, the next chapters in your very storied life. Stefan J.Kasian: So, so the next chapter was I had, uh, wanting to take a different path and I realized the conventional mind, conventional understanding. My vision was larger than that and I wanted to continue. So I pursued a doctorate in consciousness studies, transpersonal psychology and w and that was at Sabre university with my great dear friend, mentor Stanley Kripner, who's like a Yoda, you know. Wade Lightheart: Can you explain to people what transpersonal psychology is as they might not know what that is? Stefan J.Kasian: Yeah. So William James is a Harvard psychologist who, who had a, a great perception of psychology that goes beyond simply our understanding of behavioral and cognitive. It's more just who we are and what we think. It includes, experiences like dreams, ESP, powers, psychology, um, uh, sixth sense. It includes a space between us, altered States of consciousness, the superconscious, the subconscious. You know, it, it's, it's the, it's the entire realm of psychology that that is, let's say, the entire spectrum, if you will. And that's simply the, the few points of rationality we understand of who we think we are. So why is that so important right now and today? Because, um, when I did real estate, I was doing real estate while I was attending grad school at the time I bought my first house for $100, by the way. And that helped me understand that I was on my path when something amazing happened and I got a thank you letter from the guy for doing that. Um, I started, you know, I know I'm starting to kinda crossing paths right now, so I would buy a home and then, um, I would talk to my, um, friend who was, who actually did intuitive consulting work for the CEO of Sony and Bill Gates. Wade Lightheart: And so by the way, it's just, I think it's amazing how many people at the highest levels leverage intuitives or quote unquote, some people might call psychologists or people out of kind of like the very far left field. Everyone, it could be astrologists, it could be numerologist, it could be, you know, all of these kind of O cult type things that are poo-pooed. I know a lot of CEOs and a lot of heads of companies and stuff and almost all of them have some go-to mystical people that are on their Rolodex as much as their accountants and lawyers. Stefan J.Kasian: This is what I call decision augmentation technology, D a T decision augmentation technology. So we're relying on additional sources of information to help make decisions and, and not excluding anything initially. That's the creative process. That's a creative journey. So I was hungry for that. And transpersonal psychology taught me how other cultures actually use dreams as part of their decisioning in Korea. The middle East people sit around the breakfast table haven't been dreams. In fact, if you're, if your sister or brother is going to, uh, if your sister will conceive, often a family member will have a dream to gift them, keep map, fancy that family memorable. Actually have a pre-cognitive dream about the childbirth before it actually happens. So my thinking is practical. It's a bridge building. I like to build bridges and connect different worlds. So I thought, how can we apply that? So I actually did my doctoral work on prophetic or predictive dreams in real estate. Stefan J.Kasian: So he regard come on these worlds. Wow. That's themes about the home before they bought the house. And uh, which is actually quite common. Yes. And yet we're not, we don't always acknowledge it. Well, one of my dear friends and my mentor, in Duke, Larry Burke, he had wrote a book called the adventures of holistic radiologists and he interviewed patients who had dreams about breast cancer before they had it, and their genes are more predictive, if you will. Then then the mammogram, you know, the dreams were important source of information and wisdom. So once more, it's a way it's about how can we apply these phenomenal, extraordinary human experiences back down to the practical. So the next step in my journey happened. Ironically, I was studying to become a brain surgeon at Duke initially. That was my plan and I just found, you know, my vision was larger than that, if you will. Stefan J.Kasian: And yet I still had my contacts. So here I go. I graduated with my PhD in transpersonal psychology, having had these amazing insights and experiences and I was in a horrible car crash, a car crashed into me amazingly. I rolled out of the thing and I thought it was okay. About a year later, I started having the worst headaches of my life and I kept ignoring them like they're going to go away, think positive, right? Bypassing, you know, think positive, but it didn't get any better. And I went into the hospital, the hospital check me out and they said, sir, you don't have food poisoning. I have of strange anomaly in the middle of your brain. I said, no, I know when I'm in perfect health. They said, well, maybe that's why it hasn't killed you yet, but you need, we need to take care of this. So suddenly my reality warbled into a meltdown and I had had to undergo emergency brain surgery. Wade Lightheart: So not only did you study brain surgery, you actually became the patient, which I find is ironic. Uh, what happened after that because I know that was a pretty jarring experience in your life. And it led to some other, I think, some discoveries. And I think I want to before you kind of go into that, some of the challenges that happened were significant. And I think what's amazing is how you took those challenges and, and, and just reworked them in a really beautiful, magnificent way into your current career. So I think for anybody listening that's going through a very big physical challenge or a medical challenge or a health challenge or relationship challenge, recognize that there you have, although you can't always change the situation, you can change how you perceive the situation. And if you perceive the situation in a different way that it's an opportunity on some level, it can completely transform your life. So with all that, go ahead and kind of share what happened to you because, wow, it was a rocket ride. Stefan J.Kasian: Amen. I mean, uh, uh, there's so much more to say. So again, we're just giving big picture here, but you know, the, the, the chief of neurosurgery in and, you know, explaining the chances of life versus death because the location was so precarious that, you know, he invented the surgery to actually do this thing and he's the chief of neurosurgery. So, you know, I mustered every resource I possibly could. I had friends, I had healers, had people who were energy workers, pray constantly around the world for me, you know, because you know, there have been studies about even the Maharishi effects, um, you know, the studies in cardiology, patients getting prayed for and the outcomes of that. So I invoked every possible resource I could in inside myself to make sure I had the best journey possible. Wade Lightheart: An element, a key element if you're up against challenges is get every resource you can that will support you. Stefan J.Kasian: Exactly. And then I also surrendered to, to this medicine, I realized this is the best medicine this was world has at this point for this particular ailment. I analyze the risks and benefits. I mean I I know about John of God, I was thinking about going there, but the risks of leaving the hospital bed and this thing blew up, you know, it wasn't worth it. So you know, thinking pragmatically as well as intuitively is important to know how to have the right discernment for that. So funny thing is the procedure was about seven hours and taking, becoming a full fridge buildings, brain surgeon takes the seven years. So I had a seven year download of what would it in basically seven hours. So it was a seven hour brain surgery and I had what one would consider a near death experience, an NDE in the literature. Stefan J.Kasian: Um, and basically that means by, by classical definition, that's when a one is dead or near that at some form from prolonged period of time beyond the normal limits of the physicality. And they have a powerful disassociate experiences. Some people, you know, see the light, some people see colors, some people see angels. Uh, my experience was that of realizing or feeling, but more of like realizing that the entire life of this historical Dr Stefan, because the doctor was just the label of Stefan, just the label who we are goes way beyond that and beyond even the description of the words. So my entire life just became like a bubble and it just sort of burst and there wasn't even a sense of man, I'm dead. It was just wow. And there was just a sense of observing, uh, and, and awareness and, and such an intense feeling of light, if you will love. Stefan J.Kasian: It was almost painful. Uh, there's a saying about the 70,000 veils to God that if he actually saw God in its, in his or her pure form, your face would burn up. So we have these layers preventing us from seeing what the truth really is. So somehow it was my sense of a glimpse, but there really wasn't any thinking involved. It was just pure sensitive experience. And there was no sense of time. That thing could've been a thousand years of one year. One moment. I had no idea. But, um, that moment is still with me and it made me realize that, you know, we have a lot more to this world that's, that's not just seen. There's an unseen world. And, um, you know, I gradually came back into this body and uh, I remember kind of having this realization, Oh, there's a body to come back to, but it wasn't a me, it was just a pull to go back into it and then waking up and going like waking up and saying, what is this thing now? Stefan J.Kasian: And it wasn't operating the way I think I would've wanted it to because it was just operated on and under anesthesia so the body wasn't working. And I really felt that distinction between the essence in infusing the body and the body itself. So to me and healing, I realized we need to address both facets. The raw materials, which is what you and your team are exceptional with. Wade, is infusing the buy at the right raw materials as well as the top down, what energy, what prayers, what spirituality, what consciousness we're infusing ourselves with to animate that working both. And in the middle, that's, that's where the human is and that's where the magic is. And the heart is the middle of the body, the middle shocker, if you will. That is the bridge that connects all the two, and that's where some of the magic happens. Stefan J.Kasian: So it really was, it was incredible healing journey to get back and recover and rejuvenate. Um, so another thing I discovered was I'm like, what? Who are these other people? I know the hospital actually said, we're amazed. We've never seen anyone recover that quickly and be able to walk again and just get your ass out of the hospital. Some people spend months there with a surgery like that, even if they even make it through. So, you know, really go into that hellacious place and having the faith of being able to pull myself out of it gradually, you know, that that's where, that's where the rubber really hits the road and yeah, yeah. Was really where the rubber hits the road. Wade Lightheart: And then, so you, you kind of, uh, went on, so what was the next phase of your career after the recovery of that, which took some time? Stefan J.Kasian: The, yeah, the, the, these things are taking a mortal blow to the body is, is no huge feed. I mean SPE, the Sanskrit scholar is talking to Causey karmic. So there's multiple definitions or discussions, what that's about. But you know, I really was taking charge of myself healing. So I realized like what are the natural resources I can use now that the body mechanically got fixed? How do I put it back together again? And, and I saw the power of nature pathic medicine to the physicians I saw. And also I met this gentleman who was born 1901 I met at a raw food gathering, if you will. And um, and he was a speaker and at the time he was a speaker. I thought he was like 54 and at the time he was 108 when I met him. Yeah. Wade Lightheart: Yeah. He's a pretty amazing individual. I've had the good opportunity meeting or our friend there and it's remarkable. His cognitive capacity, his vitality, his health. And what did you learn from this Centurion? Stefan J.Kasian: Well, some of the transmissions that happen when you work in and study with someone go way beyond the words. I mean, certainly he had great genes, but he's in the most of it. He wasn't just like his son who he outlived when the Sunday, when he was 80, because the son smoked and partied too much. Uh, and those are risk factors. And now modernly we know epigenetics is the way our body and our mind talks to our genes and vice versa. So he made the most of his genetics. He ate phenomenally well and he built what I consider his brain bank and his body bank. So this is a really important concept because a lot of the things we know we need to do for our health don't always seem so, they seem so subtle. Um, do some yoga. Well, I don't know if that's going to help me today or tomorrow, but he did these practices every single day of his life. Stefan J.Kasian: He was very religious and spiritual. He prayed every day, read the scripture, he contemplated on whatever it was meaningful and divine to him. And he exercise every day, like religiously. And, uh, he also ate phenomenally well every day. Very disciplined in that. But I, I think that he built his physiological DataBank without taxing it. He kept adding his physiological wealth. It's like your retirement account, if you will, but it's a biological bank account. And he kept building that and that's a really critical concept I want to convey because he, he did that year after year and lived a phenomenal life right up until 114 I believe. Incredible. And outlook will TAF his age. So it's phenomenal. So the other thing I learned in the process, and curiously, you know, when I, when I was coming back from that surgery and recovering, I realized I got this realization was a dream and intuition can only really talk to our DNA, right? Stefan J.Kasian: I to really communicate with it. Now we're having a lot of, a lot of various science coming out. But the thing is we don't necessarily need to wait for science to before we can do something, let us be the explorers, let us be the experimenters, let us be the pioneers if we feel guided to. And I realized that I could actually meditate to connect with the DNA. Actually did a podcast with a non-state publishing on that. They did work with the EQ article about how you can communicate with your DNA and maximize its physiological expression. Wade Lightheart: I remember one of our earliest meetings, um, you and I had a discussion, it was in Sedona, Arizona. And our discussions when we meet up are always a very animated and fun and, uh, covering a wide range of topics. It's a really playful yet, uh, I would say inspiring and, uh, thought provoking conversations. And you told me this, one of the things is you look incredibly young for your age and am I going to say your age on here? But it's, it's, it's shocking for most people and they would never guess your age. And I remember this conversation and you said, well, I actually just, uh, taught, told my DNA that, that we're going to change it's aging process, you know, and I thought, what a great idea. Tell me more. So tell us more what that, how that process came and how did you come to that conclusion? It definitely seems to be working. So I think there's probably millions around the world that would like to save the trip to the drugstore for the latest, uh, oil of delay and tap into what's maybe possible with your, uh, with what you've done. Stefan J.Kasian: Well, wait, I mean to do, we wouldn't necessarily have all the time, we'd need to go into the specifics of that. Uh, but the, the big picture from me is the biology of belief. Bruce Lipton wrote about how we can communicate to our body and connect with it and affirm who and what we are. So in any of these journeys we're embarking on, we need to have a very clear and strong intention and have a, have a means by which we're going to connect with ourselves more deeply to help reprogram ourselves. So this to me is about inner engineering and also outer engineering. How to optimize your internal environment, how to optimize your external environment to support that. Stefan J.Kasian: So, so, um, the, the connection to the DNA is really a meditation about going deep and, um, getting out of our mind, our busy mind, into our deeper States of awareness. Our, you know, right now we're out in currently operating a beta state, but in beta frequencies, that's the predominant. But then we want to get into an alpha, a theta or Delta state, which is what I do in the brain. Spas on developing is giving people a chance to get out of their conventional, busy, busy, busy mind and experience a greater sense of themselves so they can access that, that discussion they have with their DNA, if you will, on how to do that. Wade Lightheart: And then further for those of us who want to, who want to know more about the different brain atates, you can refer back to the other podcast that we did with my co founder, Matt Gallant on the various brain states and what they correlate to in regards, we won't go into all the details today, but to keep on going. Stefan J.Kasian: Uh, you know, and I realized life is a hypnosis, if you will. We're hypnotized into thinking we need to. We are, we are an individual person that we're born and then we actually die. Who's the we who, who's the I that's getting , who's the IVUS? Even commenting on this, certainly earning out of the body, certainly seeing all these experiences and still having some sense of awareness, whether his body was getting operated on or not told me that, that were more than we think we are. So, so that kind of hypnosis can work both ways. You know, we can hypnotize ourselves to say, um, you know, I don't have, I don't get old. I have birthdays or rebirth days or sell your continuation days instead of thinking how old are you? Because that's a cultural hypnosis or programming of, of old, um, how many times has your body evolved around the sun? Stefan J.Kasian: Really, you know, what is your physiological age versus your chronological age? And then each year is a celebration of how many years you've been 25 or 30 or 40. It needs to be, it needs to be plot. There needs to be some that your system has to buy or some of it which you can start inching it back. So again, the, the, the teaching is, is simple, but you know, the executions, it's huge. It's, it's a very huge endeavor if you will. And each belief takes at least 21 days to program. So it's for it to become active in your system. So you know when you can buy into that they like, I actually feel I connect with the part of me that feels 25 you know, by by divine grace it says all by, you know, whatever mystery that brought us here that continues us. You know, how much are we really in control of any of that. Stefan J.Kasian: So it's really also acknowledging that, you know, we do our part and then this, that mystery does the rest we do our part, which is the raw materials you provide. I mean those are important tools for the telomeres, for the epigenetics, for the proper methylation, for people to stay young as long as possible. So let's talk about you. You then journeyed into the realm of naturopathic medicine and started studying in Arizona in regards to that. You want to explain a little bit about that and then absolutely way, because I loved, well, I love teaching and speaking. When I did real estate, people tapped me on the shoulder and saying, how did you do what you do? You, you bought a house for a hundred and filled your, I figured out a way, sell it in a weekend. Then you do these house clearings in the house, sells faster. Stefan J.Kasian: How do you do what you do? So, um, I, I started teaching seminars and I wanted to take Bernado my friend to teach seminars. We spoke at the raw spirit festival. We didn't event in Sedona creative life center. Oprah had called him and we were discussing should he be on or not. He just did not want the publicity, which is just crazy, but I can also understand you're a buck 10, a buck 12 and you just don't need the extra PR. You don't need the stress. And he's lived a fulfilled life. So I get it. It's pretty amazing. Um, so, uh, I was continuing on this journey that we did events, health events, and there were questions I didn't know the answer to. And I sort of stumbled, literally stumbled on the campus at, in Tempe, Arizona, Southwest college of naturopathic medicine. And was like, maybe this is where I need to be next. Stefan J.Kasian: And, um, I wanted to rehabilitate myself to anytime there's a major trauma that happens with the body, a, you know, we need to learn new skills is important. We challenge ourselves and put ourselves into a new groove because it's a new chapter of life. Life continues. So it was an unnatural resonance and, and I was willing to embark on that journey and actually I did all the natural, the premed work beforehand. So when I was in naturopathic school, I discovered, um, you know, the best of both worlds is what I think we as natural paths to do. Um, we're like the last Mohicans in some way because it was five or 6,000 of us licensed in the States. It's not that many. And yet we have certain solutions that, you know, the, the mainstream doesn't, we even this philosophy of teaching, of going to the root cause of looking at the baseline of establishing the foundations of health, looking at the obstacle to cure, like a very systematic way of thinking that pharmacology and surgery are the last two points of that. Stefan J.Kasian: You reserve those for the last, there's so many things you can do beforehand. So I just loved the way he was thinking and were actually looked at as nature, as a curative force inside of ourselves. Not thinking where machine needs to be fixed, but just the fact that we're a vital force, the operating our body and that we can work with. So, you know, I, even if I still had the passion of being on the edge there at SC and M, so I heard this doctor speak about indigenous shamans in it, indigenous shamanism and Amazonian plant medicine. And I intended this meaning this talk at a local, um, uh, botanical store and I was so blown away, but what this guy was doing, he's an MD who was disgruntled as a medical student. You know, wanted more when he was depressed in med school, they wanted to give him Prozac and he was not finding that acceptable, you know, so he, he wanted to look at what botanical options are there. Stefan J.Kasian: Siliciden was, um, what came up because it was not so harmful and he went to his route. So he traveled back to Columbia, started looking at shamans and healers and literally cofounded a healing center with an indigenous indigenous shaman indigenous curandero, a medicine man who was, who'se their traditions have done this for thousands of years. And I heard that and I even heard the science that of what Dr was talking about and uh, and it made sense on so many levels. And there's a part of me here, we go about intuition. You listen, when you're on the path, you're like, I've got to do that or whatever. I feel that resonance. So you know, like life's this river. Like sometimes we're on the edge and sometimes we just have to dive right into it. I have to do that. And that's sort of what began this journey because I went down there in the summer as a med students and I got all my clinical hours done early and I didn't tell anyone because I didn't know if I was going to come back or live through it. I want to bring anyone I was, this was my journey. I had to go there first, check it out. And it was like, it was like going from the matrix into the avatar. Wade Lightheart: It's a very good, um, it's a, it's a very good description I think for people who might not be a familiar with plant medicine and some of the opportunities I've long been an advocate of leveraging plant medicines, traditional pathways, which had been used literally for thousands of years and cultures around the world. One of the primary cultures who integrated this into, you know, society, uh, is in South America, in these type of indigenous tribes who had very profound traditions and extremely robust knowledge of the effects of plants. They're, you know, both for treating medical conditions, but also I think what's really interesting is leveraging and treating us on the more human level, that more internal relationship that we have with ourselves, the psychology, the emotionality, the spirituality as just as robust or are just as important, if not more important than what was, what was actually happening out here on the physical plane. So you went down into it literally into the Amazon and you're, you're having these parents. What happened for you there and how did that lead to your work today? Stefan J.Kasian: Well, I would say it was, it was incredibly profound. I mean, um, it really coming into the lungs of mother earth, you know, unplugging from the cell phone. The matrix world was such an insane revelation. I didn't even know what any would, I didn't even know a part of me knew, which is why I felt so called to go. But as soon as I got there, it was like I, I could actually breathe for the first time. I could actually smell for the first time. I mean, as a kid I could feel the energy of the trees. And I don't know what to make of it. And now we researched that trees are so incredibly intelligent with each other that they, you know, their roots literally, you know, you have these root trees in near woods, California out in this Bay area. Some of the trees are up to a thousand years old. Stefan J.Kasian: And how do they survive all the, the deforest, the earthquake start to whatever the weather extremes that was for this years. The, the roots literally entwined in touch each other and they can communicate along each other. So I realized, and I literally felt in my body and myself that I was plugging this vast cosmic super computer and you know, it was like I was getting upgraded or something. Um, so, you know, there's, it's, it's literally beyond description and yet I also realized there's other times in my life I've felt that too, during my healing journey. I, Yogananda, Paramhansa Yogananda landed in my lap literally. Wade Lightheart: And for those, for those who don't know who he is, he was the first Yogi to come from the East. Uh, came in 1920s to the Western is often considered the father of Western yoga philosophy, where he was maybe the first person to actually live extensively in the West. He wrote a book called autobiography of a Yogi. He was the inspiration for my own spiritual journey. He also appeared to me in a vision long time ago. I don't really talk about that too much in public, but, uh, inspired me to learn about some of the philosophies which have existed for thousands of years. And, uh, yoga practice, meditation practice, and very deep knowledge about what makes a human a human, a spirit of spirit, of soul, a soul. And we share that common bond. And so here, Yogananda flops into yoga, get laugh as well. And, and what happened there? Stefan J.Kasian: Uh, you know, I was sitting in, this is temple, if you will, and, and, and I'm on one Sunday. And literally it felt like I was getting plugged into some computer. Uh, you know, that I was a little cell in a, in a larger organism, a feeling of unity or oneness that resembled the feeling I had during the surgery. And, uh, you know, the conscious between having a sense of oneness and then feeling like I'm this in the separate body, which wasn't working that well and was a lot of pain, but Yogananda's sort of connected me back into that. And then, which led me into, um, another feeling of, uh, you know, the Amma and the Hugging Saints. Some of, some of your listeners may know about her. She's this amazing awakened master, if you will, who does amazing humanitarian work, barely eats and sleeps and has been, they've recorded her, like documented her hugging at least 30 million people and this over the past 30 years. Wade Lightheart: And, and people have profound effects. But by just getting a hug for this lady, they changed their life's changed their whole perspective on things. Seems like it's, it's, it's a phenomenal experience. I, she can stand all day long without rest and just hug person after person in thousands and thousands and thousands of people traveled from all over to kiss. Just get a hug from this lady. And uh, it's phenomenal. But you have, and again, these, we're not here to talk about things that are Hocus Pocus are out there. We're here to inspire our listeners to say, Hey, you know, it isn't all a goes to B goes to C, there is this other interconnected web of a life or existence or that, that that goes beyond our conditioned hypnotic trends of what we've, what we've been force fed in a lot of things to say, this is what is and this is how it is. And anything outside of that is out worth investigation. And that's just so boring and lame. You know, it's just, it leads to a very drab and a very, what I say, boxed in lifestyle, which you and I are definitely not in supportive. Stefan J.Kasian: Which reminds me of Krishna saying "It is no measure of health to be profoundly well adjusted to a sick society." Wade Lightheart: Oh, that's great. Stefan J.Kasian: You know, you're, you're too normal. You're almost normal pathic instead of psychopathic. So it's really about discovering our own authenticity. And these are bits of my authentic journey. Um, uh, and where I felt it profound experiences I felt changed me. So you know, someone listening to this will have a resonance in certain aspects and go, Hmm, I may want to check that out. And even our conversation here is nonlinear for a certain, for very special reason because you know, we think we're going from point a to point B in point point C in life, but who actually says life is a and time is in a straight line. Wade Lightheart: No, there's, there's no evidence of straight lines occurring naturally in nature, which is interesting, which were, so we've got these ideas that we need to build box houses and square computers and everything and this is really interesting component of humanity. We're creating these, you know, square dimensional or boxed in dimensional kind of ideas. You don't see this anywhere in nature and you certainly don't see it in a lot of the indigenous, uh, structures and styles of life, which tend to be much more robust. Stefan J.Kasian: And back to the world of indigenous cultures that they had it figured out their, their system was absolutely figured out. I, I mean, I was able to get into this very deep path, very, I live, they put me in a hut inside the jungle. The a traditional shaman would be trained and uh, you know, the, the life of the shaman is somebody who can traverse, altered, uh, non-ordinary states of awareness and bring back information to benefit their people, their culture or their tribe. So, you know, he, I am, I go out there and what I experienced there was so profound that I came back and started talking about it with my classmates. And then suddenly people are like, I want to go, wait, why don't you bring me, I want to go. And so was born in annual expedition culture geared around medical education to whine, to expand. Stefan J.Kasian: Imagine if a practitioner, you have a profound experience of nature and healing that you know, blows your mind. You come back every life after that you will not, you will touch differently. You know, you will, you will see life from a different perspective. And, and, and, um, that's what happens to the new a hundred people I brought there with me. And I'm very, very selective about who, who I have accompany me on these journeys. Uh, I do keep it intimate and small for that reason, uh, because it's, it's about a very high, high touch, high quality, transformative experience. Wade Lightheart: And it's, it's a sacred, it's a sacred experience. If there's ever a good way to, to teach the world to address that I think would be, that is what sacred is. It's about, uh, a conscious, very intimate environment where one can really let go of, I would say sometimes the grand standing of our egos and lives and how they're structured and format and to get into a place in such a radical environment, uh, I think also is important in the transformative experience to break away from our conditioned representative who navigates the world, uh, versus who, what we could potentially be and what capacities that we can activate within the human condition that have for largely part in the Western world been forgotten or shunned away or discredited, which are very rich in these types of cultures. Stefan J.Kasian: Which is why connecting back to the transpersonal psychology, transpersonal psychology created a framework for how these extra ordinary things can happen. How Bernardo can live to 114 how he raw written my neck, who I met at a conference. He could, he was the world's longest supervised medical fast, like 300 days. And he stared at the sun. You know, how somebody, how a being could, you know, stay awake all night and not tire and just love people to pieces and do it nonstop. So these are extraordinary examples and yet, you know, these are, these are also possible within our ordinary ways of living. So, you know, this is the beautiful implicate order of, of our consciousness that certainly my studies, my rigorous studies, because I want it to be as this one, it's possible. I didn't just want to go native. I wanted to have a good scientific reason why I'm going native and I feel, you know, we have science supporting us, we really have science supporting us in this. Stefan J.Kasian: I mean there's so much more to say that time wouldn't permit, but it's, you know, that this is also these particular journeys I've taken and guided to the Amazon weren't just about experiencing the sacred medicine is also about bonding and having a cross cultural experience with tribes and tribal customs that are soon going extinct. You see your Amazon is burning up and some of these tribes had been mistreated by the government or not even recognized. So how do we, you know, not only protect ourselves in this journey, but connect to a part of ourselves as this planet that is going extinct if we're not going to save it. So if you have you go down there and have a genuine experience, you might feel inspired to pay it forward somehow. Perhaps, you know, assist with some of the land we're trying to secure for the tribe, you know, document is somehow exchange something with the tribe. Stefan J.Kasian: I know the Durango Tribune wrote an amazing article about the tribe that, Oh, and by the way, this is one of my, um, beautiful garments that I purchased. It's more, it's more of like a, uh, let's call it. It's just, it's a large tapestry that the shipibo artists had drawn. And the amazing story about that, which was also, uh, described and in one of the articles is that, um, you see all the different colors and these colors represent music. They represent the way they see the world. You can have two shipibo, um, uh, people. So, so a garment like this, and literally they could almost do it blindfolded and they would know the exact song, if you will, that they would. So it, and, and you show the locals there they will, Oh, that's ayahuasca. That's chacruna for example. These are songs of the plants, if you will. Stefan J.Kasian: So here we go. In biology you have chromatography, you can actually extract the, the, the components of a plant. Um, and also if you take DNA and put it to musical notes, it sounds like Chopin. And this was, um, Jeremy and Arby's discuss this in his work, um, about the DNA and the cosmic serpent about information being contained inside the DNA. So my speculation and, uh, my wild speculation is connecting with these indigenous tribes, um, has ancient wisdom for us to really connect who we are beyond what we know as books. There's memories of who you are that we forgot. There's parts of our DNA that aren't active yet that are stories in there. And I feel we get to access through the bioluminescence because during these ceremonies I'd have as you know, like vivid dreams, but they would almost like see glowing colors in lights. Stefan J.Kasian: So who is that and what is that? Um, you know, I think this has produced from within our own bodies and this is helping us connect with a deeper essence of who we are. And, and this is a clue, this is a clue because you asked some of these tribes where they came from. They were like, you know, we came from a peer, we came from the stars. We came from out of time. We always existed. They have the Star Wars type of heroes journey and mythology about who they are. And you know, there's no description, uh, of how specialists connect to that. Wade Lightheart: Uh, well said and very beautiful. And I, of course, if people are looking for scientific validation back in the early 19 hundreds in autobiography of a Yogi, uh, Yogananda, uh, documents, his journeys, uh, one of his scientific researchers, JC Chandra Bose, who had Gerald developed the crescograph that actually demonstrated that plants have a communication structure. They feel pain, they feel suffering, they can, uh, they, they live and they can actually communicate. And my mom to take this to the very practical, who is wonderful, very simple lady and an extraordinary gardener who loves to spend time in her garden growing plants, putting her hands in the soil and she talks to the plants. And it's been proven now that communicating with your plants directly has a definitive effect on the health of the plant. And of course that plant also has a definitive effect on us as a physiology. Wade Lightheart: There's an inter connectiveness that we eat the plants and eventually when we died, the plants eat us. And so it's a very, it's a, it's a much more, it's a symbiosis. Yeah. And of course, traditional indigenous tribes would often times take moments to honor, whether it was an animal that they had killed to consume or a plant that they had killed to consume. There is an honoring and a sacredness of it and a recognition of the circle of life and the connection as of this. And I think it's phenomenal when you talk about ayahuasca and that particular plant. And it's a combination of plants and it's different in different places. But those plants on their own are poison. Like they would hurt you. But in combination, they evoke these very unique aspects of consciousness. And when they were asked, how did we discover this? Wade Lightheart: The odds of discovering that these two plants together working to some ridiculous mathematical probability that wouldn't possibly happen. But it was the plants that talked to people, the, the people, and brought this out. And then this has a profound effect. And now we're seeing the spread thanks to the internet. Um, previously hidden knowledge to colonialism, Western civilization. The scientific paradigm per se, is what some people would call simple. Indigenous tribes have this profound understanding, a knowledge and an ability to take anyone to, to start to experience these truths for themselves, these ex experiential realities that are undeniable. And they're not like, we're not talking hallucinogenics. We're talking ethno botanicals, which have a very, very different, a hallucination is something that you cannot stop and you're, you know, someone, you know, someone that's challenged on the street would be having a hallucination. Where in these type of visionary experiences, oftentimes you can communicate with that person, they can open their eyes and be present. They can close their eyes and be in another place. How did this, these experiences impact you and impact some of the naturopathic physicians that were coming down to experiencing these things? And, and why do you feel so strongly of why this is so important to get this message out to people? Stefan J.Kasian: Well, today, uh, great questions Wade. I will say for me really, um, yeah, connected with my own bio luminescence if you will. And when I came back the first time, people were like, you are glowing. What's going on? How was your, and then I brought my other classmates with me and they came back glowing. So people really saw a profound cleanse and detoxification of depuration that happened their body, and this is a critical point in our evolution right now, that we have so much toxicity from every angle. Air, water, food, yes, a hour that unless we're actually taking steps to detoxify, purify by, uh, on every level, uh, you know, we're, we're heading in the opposite direction. I mean the ecosystem is at risk for that. So to me it just gave such a profound direct experience of truth and light, love, beauty. Um, you know, that was not influenced by, you know, the matrix or the media or what we're told to think, a direct experience. Stefan J.Kasian: I couldn't help but want to share that. And some of the journeys I've experienced, um, were so profound and, and uh, I've captured them, I've written them down that, you know, and I came back and share them, the people that are like, Whoa, you went experience that really. So, uh, you know, it was just very illuminating internally. So it's also to me about the purity of this. I'm very, I'm a purist when it comes to these experiences. I'm not actually a fan Wade and not everyone would agree with me, but I'm not a fan of going to your friend's house and ordering iOS on the internet and doing that. I, I don't think it's a wise idea. I do, I do support education. I don't necessarily believe in, um, like over restriction I think in responsible use. But to me the difference between, you know, even somewhere local and journeying going on your hero's journey properly to the source of where something got innovated and it having a direct cultural transmission, the direct nature, earth transmission of that wisdom of that energy is in comparable, you know, it's like watching IMAX or a black and white movie. Stefan J.Kasian: So how I got a sense of something extremely real and precious, I wanted to preserve and wanted to, you know, uh, continue. Wade Lightheart: Speaking of that just as a side note, almost every tradition, uh, throughout history has put forth the value of going on. Some people call it a said Hannah or your Meko moment or some sort of journey and it's represented as you setting Joseph Campbell's hero's journey. I think he documented over 200 different versions of basically the same thing, which he boiled down to the same essential story. Life's kind of ordinary. Something happens. Uh, some sort of chaos happens in your local thing. There's some resistance. You go off, you face a bunch of obstacles, you fight the big dark, you know, issue that is in your life represented as a dragon. You overcome that and then you return home with knowledge, wisdom, and perspective, often at a certain price. Uh, and that is kind of the journey and it's honored in virtually every culture. What makes it so powerful with what's happening in the Amazon with these people and what they have to offer. Stefan J.Kasian: Because you're, you're earning it, you're earning it. This is not just follow your bliss. This is get in there and get down and dirty. Work with your shadow. Work with, with your traumas. Work with was difficult in your life. Um, get to face the demons that you know have been plaguing. You are haunting you. I mean this, this is not a, this is not a vacation. If someone wants to go and get a massage, go down the street, get a massage. But if you want, you know, to be able to really ring your life inside and out and exercise the demons, if you will, literally and figuratively the things I've seen look like some very powerful exorcisms, which to me simply is returning, darkens back into the light with awareness and light and love. Uh, you know, there's no comparison for that. You have to earn it. Stefan J.Kasian: You really do. And it's about sacrifice. You're giving up yourself on your familiar comforts. We're asleep on a jungle floor in the hut with bugs biting you sometimes, but you know, if you think positive about bugs, you're less likely to bite you. So I wouldn't worry about that. Um, you know, having, having a purge, having a very clean [inaudible], really making true changes and reflecting on your life, seeing what doesn't work and, and being shown, you know, in the silence, in the gaps, what, who and what you really are outside of who you're told. So these are such profound things that can happen there. When one's putting in the work and stepping out as something very familiar to lock you back into the pattern, who we think you are. So, and also the integration before, during and after. There's preparation before there's a support during. And there's the integration after which is very different from, you know, going down the street and having an experience at your friend's house and thinking you had it, you know, um, this really is about, you know, having a Rite of passage that, um, is not ordinarily available to us because in some ways to our life is difficult, but it's also kind of easy. Stefan J.Kasian: You know, it's, you can skip through some of these developmental things, but in a tribal sense, you know, they're, they're connected to the earth. They, they need, they, they're there. There's very survival exists, depends on how connected they are to who they are and, and their world around them. Wade Lightheart: Profound. It's, it's, it's really inspiring. And I love the fact that the internet is actually, ironically, uh, this technical development in the digital world has opened up. What would I would say more, I don't know what the word spiritual is, the word I would use, but certainly a, a rich in more interiolized that we see than the externalized life that many of us are living today. Wade Lightheart: Tell me what's happening now for you because you've kind of taken this to the next level, not you. What do I love? What I love about what you do, Dr Stephan, is that it's not enough for you to just to go through your own experience. You then go off and you really underst. You don't just take what you get and say, Oh, that was a cool experience. Like, no, you get into the mechanics of it, the physiology of the experience and the biochemistry of the experience, the spirituality. That's the psychology of the experience. I mean, you really drink the whole, you know, the whole Gord full. Like every drop is, is, is put through you, and then you have this beautiful way of integrating this in a very, I would say, uh, attractive way to the world and sharing that. And I believe that you are now in engaged in that right now about sharing the value of what's happening in the Amazon and what we can do about it as well as some of the things of how you're bringing back some of the wisdom there and planting it into the Western world so that we can hear that are, you know, in the Western world we can take advantage of this ancient wisdom and these practices that I think make us all a little bit more human. Stefan J.Kasian: Well, segway, thank you so much for that. I would say that, uh, my interests, I, I'm an experience or an Explorer and I like to share the, the, the jewels if you will and make them more readily and easily acc

On episode 64 of SOMEWHERE IN THE SKIES, Ryan and Shannon LeGro of INTO THE FRAY, speak with the "Real Life Mulder and Scully", Dana and Greg Newkirk. Originally broadcast on INTO THE FRAY, this interview reintroduces listeners to the incredible work by the dynamic paranormal couple and their many adventures investigating the unknown. What happens when you own the world's only traveling paranormal and occult museum? And even stranger, what happens when the items are all in your home and constantly try to communicate with you? From a pitch-black mirror where witnesses claim to have seen pure evil, to a small statue with nails in its eyes and noose around its neck that moves on its own and causes poltergeist-like activity in their home on a consistent basis. These are just a few of the objects that Greg and Dana own. And this is only a sliver of the experiences they've had. So join Shannon and Ryan on their journey with the professional weirdos as they engage the strange like never before! Guest Bios: Greg Newkirk is a paranormal investigator, travel writer, and real-life monster hunter. In other words, he’s a professional weirdo. As if Greg’s eerie adventures and odd experiments weren’t enough to qualify him as one today’s foremost authorities on the subject of the unexplained, he’s also the director of the world’s only Traveling Museum of the Paranormal and the Occult, a roving display filled with terrifying relics from real hauntings, occult crimes, and startling evidence collected during his nearly twenty years of anomalous research. In addition to researching, investigating, and writing about the anomalous, Greg has appeared on numerous hit television series including Animal Planet’s Finding Bigfoot, TLC’s Paranormal Lockdown, and Travel Channel’s Mysteries at the Museum, has served as a paranormal consultant on projects that have aired on A&E, Destination America, and the Discovery Channel, and is a regular guest on highly-rated radio programs like Coast to Coast AM. He enjoys collecting vintage paranormal ephemera, a strong cup of coffee, and driving long stretches of dirt road. He once scored 19 out of 25 correct choices in a Zener card test. He doesn’t like it when people yell at ghosts. Dana Matthews is a supernatural sleuth, occult museum curator, and magic practitioner, and she’s been actively investigating the strange and the anomalous for well over 15 years. Founder of the world’s first all-female paranormal investigation team, Dana formally began her adventures into the world of the unexplained in the late 90’s, though she chalks her interest in the subject of the strange to way too many episodes of The X-Files as a kid. With nearly two decades of research into everything from residual hauntings, to Bigfoot hotspots, to bizarre Fortean events, Dana is one of the paranormal field’s most seasoned veterans when it comes to investigating and documenting strange claims. Dana’s paranormal expertise has been featured in appearances on hit television series like TLC’s Paranormal Lockdown, Kindred Spirits, and Animal Planet’s Finding Bigfoot, and if you’re Canadian, you might even recognize Dana as the lead investigator on SPACE’s internationally syndicated series The Girly Ghosthunters. Premiering in 2004, The Girly Ghosthunters stands as one the first North American ghost hunting series to feature a real paranormal investigation team each week, launching alongside SyFy’s Ghost Hunters and helping pave the way for programs like Travel Channel’s Ghost Adventures. Her passions include all things Tolkien, M-rated Sherlock fan fiction, late-night paranormal adventures, and her two cat-children Gordon and Pete.

ORIGINAL AIRDATE: September 16th, 1991 --- On the way to a bar mitzvah, MacGyver is hijacked by a wacky CIA agent. MISSION: MacGyver is tasked with picking up a friend's father and escorting him to a Bar Mitzvah, but things get complicated when MacGyver wakes up from having been drugged in a military helicopter landing in a foreign country. This week's highlights include:   Here's that music video I worked on where MacGyver was filmed. Fun fact: One of these angsty kids later became Skrillex. Zener cards (Parapsychology) Zener cards are cards used to conduct experiments for extrasensory perception (ESP), most often clairvoyance. Perceptual psychologist Karl Zener (1903–1964) designed the cards in the early 1930s for experiments conducted with his colleague, parapsychologist J. B. Rhine (1895–1980).

ORIGINAL AIRDATE: November 2nd, 1987 --- MacGyver and Nikki Carpenter must destroy an experimental military plane downed behind enemy lines. MISSION: Mac and Nikki are racing against a soviet psychic to find and destroy a downed experimental plane to prevent the technology from being stolen. This week's highlights include:   Zener cards (Parapsychology) Zener cards are cards used to conduct experiments for extrasensory perception (ESP), most often clairvoyance. Perceptual psychologist Karl Zener (1903–1964) designed the cards in the early 1930s for experiments conducted with his colleague, parapsychologist J. B. Rhine (1895–1980).
