New Thinking Allowed Audio Podcast

As a child, Christian Sundberg remembered his existence before coming to earth. While that memory completely left him in his early adult life, it spontaneously returned at the age of 30 through meditation practice and a personal awakening journey. He also began to have Out of Body Experiences (OBEs). Christian is author of A Walk in the Physical: Understanding the Human Experience Within the Larger Spiritual Context. His website is awalkinthephysical.com. Christian describes his pre-birth memories choosing to come to earth with the help of his guides. He shares that consciousness transcends form and gives rise to form. The contrast of this level of separation enables an incredible opportunity for expansion of love and joy. We have the power to choose to meet great difficulties with love instead of fear and heal our lives where there is not peace. It is the resistance to the context in life that can make it so painful. Our true nature is that we are beings of freedom, love, power, and joy. New Thinking Allowed CoHost, Emmy Vadnais, OTR/L, is an intuitive healer and health coach based in St. Paul, Minnesota.

Charles Upton’s first books of poetry were published in 1968 and 1969 by Lawrence Ferlinghetti of City Light Books in San Francisco. He was then considered the youngest member of the “beat generation” as he was still in high school. He has subsequently written many books associated with the traditionalist school of spirituality including The Science of the Greater Jihad, System of the Antichrist, Vectors of the Counter-Initiation, Folk Metaphysics, Alien Disclosure Deception: The Metaphysics of Social Engineering, and Day and Night on the Sufi Path, The Way Forward for Perennialism: After the Antinomianism of Frithjof Schuon, and Findings: In Metaphysic, Path, and Lore. His website is https://charles-upton.com/. Here he defines spiritual metaphysics as a structured approach with both an ontology and epistemology, designed to be tested in the contemplative and ritual practices of aspirants in different traditions. Because of its practical application and testing, it differs from conventional academic metaphysics. Spiritual metaphysics always starts with the ground of being, or the divine. It differs in its cultural expression in Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, and Yoga. Nevertheless there are many similarities, such as the distinction between the personal god and the god without any attributes. New Thinking Allowed host, Jeffrey Mishlove, PhD, is author of The Roots of Consciousness, Psi Development Systems, and The PK Man. Between 1986 and 2002 he hosted and co-produced the original Thinking Allowed public television series. He is the recipient of the only doctoral diploma in “parapsychology” ever awarded by an accredited university (University of California, Berkeley, 1980). He is also the Grand Prize winner of the 2021 Bigelow Institute essay competition regarding the best evidence for survival of human consciousness after permanent bodily death.

In this fascinating conversation, Alexander Moreira-Almeida, a Brazilian psychiatrist and founder of the Research Center in Spirituality and Health, dives into the intriguing science behind life after death. He challenges the prevailing notion of physicalism, exploring mediumship through the works of renowned medium Chico Xavier. Almeida shines a light on compelling evidence for reincarnation and near-death experiences, advocating for a broader understanding of consciousness that merges spiritual and scientific perspectives. His insights blur the lines between psychiatry and spiritism, offering a fresh take on mental health.

Linda Yael Schiller, MSW, LICSW is a psychotherapist who specializes in trauma and grief in Watertown, MA. She integrates traditional therapeutic styles with dreamwork, energy psychology, body-based modalities, and spirituality. Linda is author of Modern Dreamwork: New Tools for Decoding Your Soul’s Wisdom and PTSDreams: Transform Your Nightmares from Trauma through Healing Dreamwork. Her website is lindayaelschiller.com. Linda shares that healing from trauma is always possible. Dreams can bring wisdom and messages from the unconscious to conscious awareness. Not all nightmares are indicative of trauma. Even frightening dreams can bare gifts. We can heal from trauma and grief by having dreams for ourselves and others or by having precognitive dreams and visitations from deceased loved ones. A person can move from post-traumatic stress disorder (PSTD) to post-traumatic spiritual growth (PTSG).

This is a guided meditation. The audio portion was originally recorded by Jeffrey Mishlove around 1990. The visual elements were added in 2018. However, it is basically designed to be listed to with eyes closed. It has been uploaded here as part of our new emphasis on guided meditations and exercises for psychospiritual awakening.

His most recent book is The Way Forward for Perennialism: After the Antinomianism of Frithjof Schuon. His website is https://charles-upton.com/. Here he describes several dreams and synchronicities that provided him with a personal window into the afterlife, particularly those involving his poetic mentor, Lew Welch, who died of a suicide. These examples illustrate his sense of how a soul might progress in the supersensible realm. He also points out that the premier metaphysician of the traditionalist movement, René Guénon, did not accept reincarnation as traditionally taught. Instead he argues that memories can persist and be transferred to individuals, a process referred to as metempsychosis. He discusses differences between traditionalist and “new age” perspectives.

William Peters, M.Ed., MFT, is a licensed psychotherapist at the Family Therapy Institute in Santa Barbara, specializing in end-of-life counseling as a means toward psycho-spiritual evolution. He is author of At Heaven’s Door: What Shared Journeys to the Afterlife Teach About Dying Well and Living Better. He is the founder and Executive Director of the Shared Crossing Project where he and his research team collect and study extraordinary end-of-life experiences through the Shared Crossing Research Initiative. His website is sharedcrossing.com. He explains that experiences with the light occur in about 75% of near-death experiences (NDEs) and 25% of shared death experiences (SDEs). The light seems to be a destination in the NDE. There are more presentations of light in the SDE. The light acts as a portal or bridge that come down as cylinders. Light beings may come out of the light to greet the dying. The SDE experiencer may accompany the dying up cascades of light or observe their loved one ascend into the light. He shares ways to have a SDE with a loved one or a pet. He says that the light is synonymous with love and consciousness and is a sacred unifying source found in spiritual traditions.  New Thinking Allowed CoHost, Emmy Vadnais, OTR/L, is an intuitive healer and health coach based in St. Paul, Minnesota.

Reinerio Hernandez, JD, MCP, is currently the Director of the Consciousness and Contact Research Institute (CCRI). He is editor of several anthologies including Beyond UFOs, and the first two volumes of A Greater Reality. He is author of The Mind of God: A Spiritual-Virtual Reality Model of Consciousness & The Contact Modalities. Here he emphasizes his core argument that there is a unity behind UFO encounters, near-death experiences, out-of-body experiences, entheogenic experiences, mystical experiences, apports, materializations and other events associated with high-strangeness. He refers to these as “contact modalities.” Although he admits that he cannot specify the precise workings of that unity, he attributes it to “the mind of God.” He maintains that consciousness is fundamental and that what we perceive as the physical world is, in effect, a virtual realty, or a projection from a higher spiritual reality. He suggests that the best metaphor for this projection is to think in terms of Russian nesting dolls. New Thinking Allowed host, Jeffrey Mishlove, PhD, is author of The Roots of Consciousness, Psi Development Systems, and The PK Man.
