Mind At Large with Michael Grosso

Michael Grosso, PhD, is author of The Man Who Could Fly: St. Joseph of Copertino and the Mystery of Levitation. He also edited and wrote commentary for Wings of Ecstasy: Dominico Bernini’s Vita of St. Joseph of Copertino (1772). His other books include The Millennium Myth: Love and Death and the End of Time, Final Choice: Death or Transcendence?, Soulmaking: Uncommon Paths to Self Understanding and Smile of the Universe: Miracles in an Age of Disbelief. Here he acknowledges that the term “Mind At Large” originated with Aldous Huxley, who employed it to explain the many phenomena experienced under the influence of the psychedelic drug, mescaline. Grosso points out that it also offers a working explanation for the empirical data of parapsychology, as well as the many documented reports concerning religious miracles. He points out that Mind At Large differs from the concept of a deity. 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).

InPresence 0198: Geoffrey Hodson and the Cottingley Fairies

Jeffrey Mishlove shares many colorful illustrations of spiritual entities from Geoffrey Hodson’s book, The Kingdom of the Gods. Hodson (1886-1983) was a well-known author and lecturer on Theosophical topics. He seemed to have pronounced synesthesia talent and considered himself to be clairvoyant. He worked with scientists to investigate his clairvoyance, although the results are sketchy. He was called in by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, famous author of the Sherlock Holmes mystery stories (and also a prominent spiritualist), to assist in the investigation of photographs of ostensible fairies. Both Hodson and Conan Doyle were fooled in this instance by photographs that were clearly faked. 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).

Twenty-first Century Animism with Randy Kritkausky

Randy Kritkausky is an enrolled tribal member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation. He is a founder of ECOLOGIA, an international environmental organization that works on the planet’s more extreme challenges, and formerly professor at Keystone College, research scholar at Middlebury College, and Erasmus Mundus Scholar at the Central European University in Budapest and Lund University in Sweden. He is author of Without Reservation: Awakening to Native American Spirituality and the Ways of Our Ancestors. His website is http://www.randykritkausky.com/. Here he shares his experience of growing up in an American middle-class environment with little awareness of his Native American heritage. A series of events, including the death of his Native American mother catalyzed within him a direct apprehension of the ways in which nature was communicating with him. The discussion focuses on the plight of millions of Native Americans who are disconnected from their own heritage. 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.

InPresence 0197: If I Had Millions To Spend on Research…

Jeffrey Mishlove explains his top priority for parapsychological research. He argues that the Mobius consensus methodology developed by Stephan A. Schwartz could be applied to different groups of “psychenauts” employing such diverse approaches as mediumship, remote viewing, lucid dreaming, advanced meditation. The goal of this project would be to create a new, more accurate mapping of the interior realms of consciousness responsible for the empirical data associated with reincarnation, mystical experience, and post-mortem survival. 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 a past vice-president of the Association for Humanistic Psychology; and is the recipient of the Pathfinder Award from that Association for his contributions to the field of human consciousness exploration.

InPresence 0196: Are Spirits Real?

Jeffrey Mishlove distinguishes between spiritual entities and a spiritual realm. He suggests that the reality of spirits is dependent upon the level of reality being discussed. Spirits may possess a dream body or an astral body; however, at a deeper level of reality, individual “selves” are something of an illusion created, according to Buddhist thought, by codependent origination. 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).

Prometheus as a Specter with Jason Reza Jorjani

Jason Reza Jorjani, PhD, is a philosopher and author of Prometheus and Atlas, World State of Emergency, Lovers of Sophia, Novel Folklore: The Blind Owl of Sadegh Hedayat, Iranian Leviathan: A Monumental History of Mithra’s Abode, and Prometheism. Here he describes many facets associated with the archetype of Prometheus: the creator of humanity, the rebel, the trickster, the martyr, the wise titan, the visionary, and the daemonic force behind science and technology. He argues that if humanity does not become conscious of Prometheus’ mesmeric power, we will continue to blindly fall under the spell of our technological power – to our own detriment. He maintains that a deeper understanding of Prometheism is an antidote to the pitfalls of either fatalism or authoritarianism. Many viewers will know that Jason Reza Jorjani has suffered from libel and persecution as a result of his, generally misunderstood, political views. He is a brilliant scholar who has now been unfairly disgraced and is forced to fight a legal battle, while continuing his research and writing, without any regular employment. Therefore we have set up this “Go Fund Me” page in order to assist this worthy individual.
