New Thinking Allowed Audio Podcast

InPresence 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). For many years he served as president of the non-profit Intuition Network, an organization dedicated to creating a world in which all people were supported and encouraged in developing inner intuitive abilities. Here Jeff shares his reflections after listening to a lecture by Gary Lachman, author of Dark Star Rising, about occult influences within the alt-right supporting the election of Donald Trump. It turns out that the iconic meme of “Pepe the frog” used by Trump supporters was also, in the minds of many, akin to that of the ancient Egyptian frog deity, Kek, the god of chaos and darkness (as well as of light). Lachman maintains that some members of the alt-right deliberately invoked this image as a way of inducing synchronicities that would support the Trump victory.

For many years he served as president of the non-profit Intuition Network, an organization dedicated to creating a world in which all people were supported and encouraged in developing inner intuitive abilities. Here Jeff discusses the work of Jacques Vallee, UFO researcher and computer scientist, whom he first interviewed in 1973. Vallee worked at SRI International in the 1970s and helped develop the software for ARPANET, which eventually evolved into the internet. At the same time he was engaged with the remote viewing work of Ingo Swann, Hal Puthoff, and Russell Targ at SRI. Jeff explores Vallee’s dictum that, if you want to know what will happen in the next ten years, look back at what has happened over the last fifty.

Here Jeff notes that he has been a fan of Bill Maher’s television programs for several decades. He claims that the August 3, 2018, episode of Real Time was very likely the best he has ever seen. He realizes that this will be controversial because of the political content; but he urges viewers to watch the episode either on HBO or segments that are available on YouTube. He also points out that he disagrees with Bill Maher’s attitude toward the paranormal, because Maher seems to lump parapsychology together with various religious follies.

Betty J. Kovacs, PhD, taught symbolic/mythic language for twenty-five years. She has served as Chair of the Board of Directors of the Jung Society of Claremont, California, and sits on the Academic Advisory Board of Forever Family Foundation. Dr. Kovacs is author of Merchants of Light: The Consciousness That Is Changing the World, winner of The Scientific and Medical Network 2019 Book Prize and a Nautilus Silver Award. She has also written The Miracle of Death: There Is Nothing But Life. Her website is www.kamlak.com. Here she maintains that, throughout the world, original myths describe our connection with an invisible world in which we partake of immortality. This is expressed in ancient cave cultures and shamanistic traditions. It can be found is esoteric culture worldwide. In particular she focuses on myths concerning the Tree of Life. She suggests that this myth was inverted by the Deuteronomists around 620 BCE and that this inversion has shaped Western culture, and caused much suffering.

Here Jeff shares his impressions after viewing the presidential address to the Parapsychological Association given by Dean Radin, author of Real Magic. There are several reasons for optimism. Membership in the Association is at an all-time high. The American Psychologist, flagship journal of the American Psychological Association, has just published a very favorable article summarizing the highly significant results of 1700 psi research studies published in refereed journals. Scholars from many fields of study are considering the fundamental role of consciousness in science.

Here Jeff describes the British occultist, poet, and mountaineer Aleister Crowley (1875 – 1947) as an important counter-culture influence in the 1970s. Crowley was an early forerunner of the sexual revolution and promoted the use of both sex and various drugs in the context of magickal rituals. He believed himself to be the inaugurator of a new era for humanity in which individuals would seek to align their own free will with the will of the cosmos.

Here Jeff endeavors to fulfill a commitment he made in InPresence 0131 — that is to cultivate his karaoke singing skills and, eventually, upload a new selection of songs to show that improvement is possible. The four selections include the Ella Fitzgerald version of Summertime, Sunny Afternoon by The Kinks, The Dock of the Bay by Otis Redding, and Boondocks by Little Big Town.

For many years he served as president of the non-profit Intuition Network, an organization dedicated to creating a world in which all people were supported and encouraged in developing inner intuitive abilities. Here Jeff focuses on efforts to replicate some of the unusual macro-psychokinetic phenomena that were reported in nineteenth century spiritualist seances. In England, Kenneth Batcheldor developed a method for achieving table levitations. He incorporated a seance-like atmosphnere — but with neither the solemnity of a religious service nor any spiritualist mediums. In Toronto, Canada, the local Society for Psychical Research expanded on Batcheldor’s work — by successfully creating an imaginary ghost they named Philip.

Here Jeff shares his excitement and anticipation about meeting an individual whom he has not seen in 45 years — Joanna Harcourt-Smith. When he originally met her, and interviewed her on KPFA-FM in Berkeley, California, she was known as Joanna Leary, the wife of Timothy Leary. She worked tirelessly for years to help release Timothy Leary from federal custody — even promising to go on a hunger strike. Subsquently, in 2013 her book about these experiences was published, titled Tripping the Bardo with Timothy Leary.
