172. Dr. Bruce Solheim – Historian / Author / Musician – Connecting With Your Ancient Self
Welcome back to Behind Greatness. We are joined today by Bruce Solheim, a Professor of History at Citrus College in Southern California. Bruce is an expert in US foreign Policy, an author of various books and graphic novels, a playwright, and a musician. In 2016, he decided to face the risk of "academic suicide" and came out to his colleagues with what he has lived with all his life. Since he was a little boy Bruce has also lived a paranormal life. We learn about his childhood friends, his psychic abilities, his parents and his non-human intelligence (NHI) contact, Anzar the Progenitor. Bruce takes us through a weaving story about haunted house in northern Norway, Nazi-occupiers, jail-guard experiences, the banality of evil, attention and intention and capturing butterflies. We learn from Bruce about the importance of re-awakening natural abilities long ago driven away by "polite society", the importance of song and the importance of humility. "Predictions can be wrong but preparations are never wrong."

171. Kevin Day – Ret. US Navy Senior Chief Operations Specialist / Author – Changing Perspective after Witnessing the Extra-Ordinary
To give to the Behind Greatness podcast, please visit here: https://behindgreatness.org. As a charity, tax receipts are issued to donors. Welcome back to Behind Greatness. Today we sit down with Kevin Day at his home in Oregon. Kevin is retired from the Navy where he held numerous positions over an 18 year span, including Air Intercept Control Supervisor, Anti-Air Warfare Coordinator and Strike Group Air Defense Subject Matter Expert. Kevin brings us through his first hand emotional account of the tragic day that Iran Air Flight 955 was shot down by missiles fired from his ship, the USS Vincennes in 1988. We learn that while that episode nearly broke him, he resolved to stay in the Navy and become the best he could be in that service. We hear about his extraordinary experience in November of 2004 aboard the US Princeton as Chief Radar Operator on the US West Coast and seeing 100s of "big white candy mints" (as named by his superior) darting through the skies over a span of several days. These are the "Tic Tacs" that are widely known today by the accounts of Commander David Fravor (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s45xZAevb-w) – with videos released by the Pentagon. David Fravor was engaged with the Tic Tacs on the same training mission while Kevin was manning the radar system on the ship below. We hear about impossible speeds, a tear in the sky (!), the feeling of benevolence, receiving a cerebral upgrade, the sudden capacity for artistic endeavours. Kevin describes the safety of flight issues he tried to champion, the mockery he endured, the vindication and the sober reflection of a man who knows himself if the shoe were on the other foot. We hear about writing the facts hidden within a book he published, men in black, a strange encounter in the woods, his personal mission today, anger, judgement, time travel and the 5th fundamental force of nature. We recommend two past interesting episodes with military guests, Franc Milburn (ep160) and Ryan Graves (ep141) on like topics.

170. Dave Bassett – Award-Winning, Multi Platinum, Songwriter & Producer – Tapping into the Ether
To give to the Behind Greatness podcast, please visit here: https://behindgreatness.org. As a charity, tax receipts are issued to donors. Thanks again for joining us at Behind Greatness. We sit down with Grammy-nominated songwriter and producer Dave Bassett at his studio in California. He is also the songwriter behind hundreds of songs and many global hit songs over the years, including Rachel Platten's Fight Song, Elle King's Ex's & Oh's and Vance Joy's Riptide. We have a real talk about his life in, with and around music. A former rock band singer and writer Dave found a sweet spot eventually as a therapist of sorts. Dave began to understand the process of writing was an experience he was addicted to. We learn about listening and investing in the solitude of the present moment and tapping into the ether – and how he brings others with him. We talk about quitting the noise, shedding the ego and embracing the real mystery of music. We also hear about Dave's experience in the music industry and its changing complexion – for better and for worse. And Dave explains to us how we need to reconnect again with the actual physical investment of the musical experience and with our curiosity of the unknown. Patience. Listeners might want to try a few of our other conversations with musical guests, including Kid Koala (ep 28), Troy Johnson (ep 48) and Raine Maida (ep 65).

Danny has been a very public civil rights attorney for many decades, having worked on high profile cases whose favourable outcomes we take for granted today. And this is only a slice of the story. Danny wanted to be an astronaut – until he saw the political forces working against his hard fought battle to become one. So he studied law in the hopes that he could affect change for others. And along the way, he never lost site of his initial curiosity of the universe. We learn about his work with the Vatican and their discussion of disclosure of Non-Human Intelligence. We learn about his representation of Harvard professor and psychiatrist Dr. John Mack and former US Army counter-intelligence agent Luis Elizondo. We hear from Danny about the need for a great Revision, working against the forces of reaction and the idea behind the disassembling of the structural sources of injustice. Danny brings us his thoughts and beliefs about that extraordinary something that is going on and his efforts in being ahead of the curve and helping to establish a new paradigm shift in our World View. We recommend Diana Pasulka (ep142), Br Guy Consulmagno (ep133) and Leslie Kean (ep112) as context material to this episode with Danny.

We are treated immediately with a ghost story from his early work in the 1980s. He was catapulted into the public eye during the release of The Ghost Busters in 1984, being sought after as a real "ghost hunter". We discuss a ton of fascinating themes, including: pop culture and beliefs, leaving feelings behind in a room, confronting a sith lord, poltergeists, and the body-station vs the spirit-drone. We learn about Loyd's early bilocating experiences, his thoughts on humans being an interface device and how science fiction has been more courageous at exploring the possibilities – and the importance of the Rhine Research Center and the public's - and universities' - growing interest again in parapsychological study. We recommend a pairing with episode 113 - with Psychiatrist and Parapsychologist, Dr. Diane Hennacy.

To DONATE to the Behind Greatness podcast, please visit here: https://behindgreatness.org. As a charity, tax receipts are issued to donors. Welcome back to Behind Greatness. We're speaking with Nancy duTertre from Connecticut today. Nancy is a corporate attorney, a psychic detective and a remote viewing practitioner. Growing up in an intellectually-focused family environment Nancy exceled in her endeavours, but her curiosities brought her through more than one path. Her world opened up when she started to actively pursue her own questions about intuition. We discover with her some hard-hitting themes: her psychic detective work with police departments, being in service, the languages of different senses, possession, psychokinesis and the bending of rebar :), boomerang-shaped objects, non-human intelligence, protecting human consciousness and losing the fear of accessing knowledge that just a question away. A colourful life lived with left-brain sensibilities and the child-like compunction to explore what she doesn't know. "The anomalies are the key to a larger body of knowledge that is as of yet explored."

166. Dr. Roger Nelson – Director of the Global Consciousness Project / Former Researcher, PEAR lab – Making Sounds Together
To DONATE to the Behind Greatness podcast, please visit here: https://behindgreatness.org. As a charity, tax receipts are issued to donors. Welcome back to Behind Greatness. Roger joins us from Ithaca, NY at his home in an eco-village. Roger was (is) a musician and psychologist when he applied to Princeton as a leading researcher to one of America's leading consciousness, called PEAR (Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research Lab). Among other things, Roger at PEAR investigated the influence of human thoughts on physical reality. In this conversation he brings us through his research on and belief in the importance of Global Consciousness. His studies have been focused on measuring and registering signs of any kind of coherent global consciousness that would come into being by an event that engaged the attention of a large number of people that would stimulate a synchronized set of emotions. We learn how the founder of PEAR, Robert Jahn (also the Dean of Engineering) spent a great deal of time defending the lab from peers who refused to visit (reminds us of the historical figures who refused to look through Galileo's telescope because they wished to simply deny his findings). We learn from Roger fascinating topics like the "noosphere", the relevancy of human rituals, McDonnell Douglas sponsoring of Roger's studies on "gremlin" activity in the cockpit of military bomber flights, mining the psychic atmosphere and the act of falling in love. We discuss the importance of music, the thrill of artistic creation, "making sounds together" and the difference between skeptics and deniers. Roger also shares with us what he would like to be doing once he transitions to the other side. 100% skeptical and 100% open-minded. A thank you to our friend Stephan Schwartz (ep 155).

We are sitting down today with Stephen Simon who joins us from his home near Portland. Stephen was born into a family already successful in Hollywood.

164. Dr. Scarlett Heinbuch – NDE Experiencer / Multidimensional Healer / Author – Seeing the Impossible
We are joined today by Scarlett Heinbuch from her home in Atlanta, Georgia. Scarlett has been working in finance for 20 years. But that's merely her career. Scarlett has been an experiencer of multidimensional realms since she was a little girl. We learn about her childhood OBEs, her interactions with relatives – both live and deceased, a near death experience, the details of an incredible and impossible shared death experience with her future husband and his remarkable recovery. We learn about alcoholism and how it cuts openness at the knees, about "joy bullying" and about how to show up in the world. For those who have a soft spot for love stories, this won't disappoint either. And for those who also have a soft spot for interdimensional surgical teams of blue beings, this story will have that too. We also recommend episode with Sharon Hewitt-Rawlette (ep 99) for some great parapsychological discussion as background.

163. Leonard (Lyn) Buchanan - Ex-Military Remote Viewer & "Psychic Spy" / Founder, Remote Viewing Ranch / Artist / Author – Giving Anything Through You
Welcome back and thanks for joining us again. Today we are speaking with a very humble, soft spoken human being, Lyn Buchanan. And you're in for a ride. Lyn served in the US military for 20 years. He served as a minister, a multi-language linguist (the only Mongolian linguist in the US forces) as a database and systems expert and as a controlled Remote Viewer and Remote Viewing trainer in a classified US government espionage program in the 1980s and 1990s. Lyn has been plagued throughout his life with "psychokenetic" events. One fateful day in Augsburg, Germany, such an event (parts of which are still classified) happened and brought about official recognition and record of his ability – having Lyn to eventually admit to having "the best job in the world". If you are interested in learning about Lyn's experience and insights on: controlled Remote Viewing to entering the minds of world leaders, bilocation, solving child abduction cases, unofficially remote viewing extra terrestrial beings, experience of being onboard an off-planet vehicle, recalling an abduction by extra terrestrial sentient beings and detailed physical descriptions of these beings and their craft, visitations by men in black, psychic abilities of human beings, current exo-planet work for space agencies etc. – then listen in. If you're not interested, then move along, there's nothing to see here. When providing his service (for free) to Police investigators once the investigator realized the scope of his work/ability, and asked, "Do you mean that you can assign someone to actually witness something that has already happened?" Lyn replied, "That's what we do." Have a listen also to our other episodes with remote viewing experts Russell Targ (ep 80), Courtney Brown (ep 131) and Stephan Schwartz (ep 155,156).
