They were doing testing on us. By the time I got done with that part of the book, which I thought was the end of the book, I realized that that process had worked on me and that I had to write about my own internal disclosure of this thing. And uh you know, you can hear me swallowing stuff because it's hard still and I've talked about it several times. I always remember dreading that walk. As soon as I get in the room and I close the door, I remember nothing. Then I open the door and I leave and I'm just confused and I go back to class and I remember not remembering. I don't know if it was a drug, a hypnosis. What really makes me think that there's something going on is I apply for a job in the federal government that requires a clearance and they say, "Send us all of your transcripts from your entire schooling history." the comments area from 1 through 8th grade, they're all redacted. It's hard to sort of recognize out loud that who you are as a person was sort of shaped on purpose. When I was in New Jersey, >> [music] >> um my girlfriend at the time and I, which became my wife, we were heading out of a building on a beautiful, let's say, Tuesday afternoon. We were walking to our cars to go to lunch. And as we were walking, the building was behind us. But as we were approaching the car, both of us at the same exact time wrenched our necks over our right shoulder into the sky over the building [music] and we seen this object that all of a sudden went like 45° straight out out of sight in a second. Like bam, it was gone. And we walked to the car. I looked at her and I said, "Did you happen to see anything?" And she completely said exactly the same thing I saw. It was incredible. Yes, it was only maybe two seconds or so, but just incredible. And yeah, there's we believe >> Dr. Julia Osbridge, um, thank you so much for gracing us here in the skiff with your lovely presence. Um, I met you first at the contact in the desert uh convention this past year. we were both on a panel and I got to say I was just completely enamored with um your takes on reality uh and and you know throughout this this discussion that we were having on stage was really interesting because it was a sort of back and forth about agency >> and and uh the the disclosure dialogue and and everything else and then you know just finished your book have a nice disclosure uh which isn't about alien disclosure at all it's more about sort of inner disclosure and and uh this this more sort of uh the deeper sentiment of dealing with something that is not understandable by your you know general human senses. Um very fascinating. You're a very fascinating person. you've done incredible work in the study of SI in the study of precognitive um you know precognition um all sorts of really interesting sigh stuff and and you continue today to just really spearhead this conversation in a way that doesn't feel militarized. >> Yay. >> And I think that that we need more of that, right? Because there is a spectrum. I I always I always feel like there's a spectrum of a masculine and a feminine energy with this stuff. And like on on the on the on the feminine energy, it's like it's all crystals and woo. And on the masculine side of it, it's all like missiles and, you know, and war. And there are people on, you know, both sides of that spectrum that inhabit the middle. And that's where these really fascinating conversations start to take place because we're considering everything. Yeah. and we're we're sort of branching out and yeah, I'm just a big fan of you and so thank you for joining me today. >> Wow, I love that. What a great introduction. I'd like to frame it in time. >> Done. [laughter] >> Excellent. >> Um yeah, so we just had breakfast. we shared or lunch and um you know we were we were talking about a lot of things and and you know there's there's that part of uh the conversation that leads into a podcast that the audience doesn't get you know they don't get to hear but a lot of that is like this dance of hold on >> should we save this >> yeah we did that a couple times >> we did that a couple times >> um you know but we're going to be talking about all sorts of wonderful things today >> including you know non-local consciousness including time travel uh including intuition and and what is what does synchronicity mean in all of this and all of these wonderful ideas. But hearing it from a cognitive neuroscientist I think adds a little gravitas to it for myself at least and it it definitely inspires me to ask you some of the more deeper questions today. But uh I want to start by just asking you you've been in this field for quite a long time. Um you've you've you've seen a lot you've heard a lot. You've studied a lot. you've put out a lot of, you know, papers on this stuff. What is what is one thing in regards to how we are currently interacting with reality that you found to be most surprising in the last sort of 10 years that you've that you've been looking into this? Like what's something that struck you as well? This is a surprising way of sort of filtering in reality that I hadn't really pondered or thought about before. Oh god, great question. H the unfortunately I think some of the things that are most surprising to me are surprising because my mind works so differently. So I don't know if they're so interesting because >> Okay. [laughter] Right. >> I'll be the judge of that. >> Okay. because I just recently realized that um for the most part people still think that you have to um build something if you like a spaceship or something if you want to do time travel for instance. Um or you have to if you were to build a conscious machine, you'd have to like build it. You couldn't just take something that was like a rock that was already there >> and make it conscious. And so these things, it just occurred to me recently, are huge um hypothesis stoppers. In other words, we're not going to hypothesize about all the things that we could do with our minds in terms of consciousness and how we can, you know, use a rock to, you know, become alive or whatever it is if we think that that's impossible. And we're not going to assume that another species or NHI or whatever you want to call aliens, we're not going to assume that they have that capacity because we haven't thought of it yet. >> That's interesting. And so the underlying thing is just what are all the hypotheses that we just completely ignore because it never occurred to us and how do we just absolutely not see what's there? Like for instance, another another one's like gravity is fuel. I really feel that gravity could literally be used as fuel. Um and maybe that's what UAP are doing when they're just bouncing around. Maybe they're just like loading up and they have to do this change of like the gravitational just a little bit and then it fills up their battery. >> Yeah. Maybe the like magnetosphere helps them and so that's why they choose our planet. I don't know. But like just the the posity of hypotheses that just come from our history rather than looking into the future and seeing what's going to change when we start to realize that the laws of physics are shifting. >> So >> that's really interesting. Yeah, my brain's going as well. Like even even as um you know you you hear stories about the idea of like spiritual energy imbuing certain items and like these things like how do we know that we can't record an entire podcast into a can, right? >> And then and then somehow extract that information from this can >> a million years in the future. >> Yeah. I'm not going to be the one to figure it out. >> Or maybe there's like there's maybe a podcast in in you know a tree root or something that's been fossilized. And if you're like into the curan hypothesis, all we have to do is decode that, right? >> And then we get all this information. But of course, we don't think it can happen, so we don't look >> and so we don't look and we don't we don't move our efforts in that direction. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. Wow. Yeah. That's that's a deep one to start on to think, you know, that's a great thought. Thank you for that. That's really interesting to think about because there, you know, you don't know what you don't know. That's the other thing. It's like, >> yeah, >> you know, we can't we can't hypothesize about stuff that we can't even, you know, fathom. >> Well, and and this is this is part of I I think AI is very powerful and going to do a lot of really amazing things, especially in medicine. Um, and maybe hopefully if we use it right in our understanding of social interactions so that we can not have war and things like that, that would be fantastic or not famine and things. But right now, one of the things that AI does is it clamps down on any kind of dreaming outside the box. So when I have conversations with AI about what about this, it's lazy and it just comes back with, well, we don't know that that would be real and we probably shouldn't, you know, it just it it like stops you. And so if we're going to, you know, be training people to interact with AI in school, etc., and we're going to, you know, have them figure out new technologies. They're going to come up against this wall. And when you don't know what you don't know, the last thing you want is something acting like it knows and then telling you like that's not interesting. So, this is this is a concern I have. >> Yeah. Gatekeeping by something that doesn't even know it's gatekeeping. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. That is a concern. And but there's also the adverse side of that too where it's like we also don't want to indulge in people's psychosis >> and and you know tell them you know gaslight them into thinking yeah no absolutely everybody is demonic and you're like wait hold on you know >> um >> yeah no that is interesting >> well I mean you can do experiments to test for this so you don't have to just say well wouldn't it be cool if gravity could be used as fuel you can do experiments you know and so that's what it ought to be incurring encouraging people to do and that's what it also ought to be incurring is more experimentation based on these ideas that seem really far out but you can actually test. >> Yeah. Do you which which um which AI sort of LLM or or which one are you more familiar with? Which one do you use if you had to use any? >> I use kind of them all for different things. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. So >> what's what's your one for like Claude for research? I guess >> Claude for research. um open AI for just asking me good questions. Like I have a open AI model that I train to >> it's called a a student of humanity and it asks only questions. It just asks insightful questions and the idea is that you have the answer and so it's not giving you any information. >> That's very cool. >> So that I I use that and then notebook LM I use when I'm trying to get cool ideas about how to present things visually. >> So that kind of thing. >> That's cool. It's cool to hear that because you know you hear a lot of reluctance in wanting to use AI especially because a lot of people have this idea that AI is perverse and that it will >> sort of um overshadow the human soul in some way and in in some creative expression and although that yes if you let it but you know it's nice to hear that there are good sides to it and I think everybody you know has their own relationship with AI at this point. Um, but I guess we're all just trying to figure out what's a healthy amount. >> Yeah. >> You know, because it it can it can veer pretty quickly. >> It really depends, I think, on how you've been trained. Like I've been trained to be an independent thinker my whole life. uh even in my family and then in school and then um you know in the gifted program even though there's all sorts of downsides to that one of the upsides is you know lots of independent thinking in graduate school posttock and so when I'm talking to AI about some research idea or something I don't see it as an authority it's like a thinking partner it's like what do you think of this and then it says something and then I'm like well but you haven't thought of like that's actually just glib like you haven't thought of this or this and it's lazy. So, it'll just say, "Oh, yeah, you're right. >> You're totally right." >> Yeah, you're totally right. [laughter] But it's uh it's I worry more about people who haven't been trained to think independently. >> Mhm. [clears throat] >> Um so I I think AI is more of a problem for people who are coming up and don't and don't have proper education. >> Yeah. >> So I think that's and I think it's super helpful. I mean when the data are out on this like we know it's already very helpful for people who are already mid mid to senior career it's very helpful uh but early career it's a disaster to replace early career people with AI because then who's going to learn who's going to get to mid to senior career. >> Yeah. >> Right. >> Yeah. You're externalizing >> memory you're externalizing experience into this Yeah. digital thing. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. Absolutely. Um you know you touched on something right there. The gifted and talented program. I know that in your latest book you talk about that a little bit as well. Uh I think soar uh the program that you were uh in >> Students on Active Research which is the creepiest >> Yeah. >> Yeah. Yeah. Students on active research. So sounds so lovely. Um you know um and you the title was Sorggate which I thought was interesting. Right. >> Yeah. Well gate because >> play on Stargate. >> Yeah. Exactly. >> And then gate the program. >> And gate the program. Yeah. >> So could you could you fill us in a little bit? I mean, I just, you know, I encourage anybody to go check out all the books that you've done, but um could you maybe fill us in a little bit about what that was like uh coming up for you? >> You know, obviously thinking it's a little bit strange, the tests that they're doing, the cognitive tests and everything else, but also your research into it afterwards as an adult, you know, came up a little strange as well and and maybe walk us through that. >> Sure. Um I started writing the book. I didn't know I was writing a book. And I'm like, I guess I'm writing something. And um I realized, you know, maybe about halfway through the first part of the book that it was about disclosing in yourself. And it was almost like a spiritual process, but also like a physical process, but also a social process. Listen, by the time I got done with that part of the book, which I thought was the end of the book, I realized that that process had worked on me and that I had to write about my own internal disclosure of this thing. And uh you know, you can hear me swallow and stuff because it's hard still and I've talked about it several times publicly. Um, but nonetheless, it's hard to sort of recognize out loud that who you are as a person was sort of shaped on purpose, not just by your parents and not just by your community, but by something that you didn't even know was had an intention to shape who you are. And that's the part that I find difficult. And so, so I I got interested as I was writing the book in my background in this gifted program called Soore that I was in and officially in in seventh grade. You know, when I say officially, I mean, so like I have friends who I still know who are also in the program and so I know that I didn't make it up, right? But I started being tested for it and getting special privileges and stuff that the other students didn't get, I think, in kindergarten because I have the test results. Um, and then in heavily in first grade and then from then on out there was a lot just a lot of testing all the time. Um, and for the longest time I kind of bought into the story of, but I think this part is true. You know, I do I I come from a very uh an educated family with super intelligent minds. That's true. Um, and I was very creative. That's true. I'm still very creative. So, like that's part of the story. That's like, okay, I could see that you you might want to put me in a program where I would get more stimulation or something. The other part of the story is they were doing testing on us that was not about that. Um, and that didn't seem to be for our benefit and some of which had deliberate, as far as I can tell, deliberate memory removal. um in this and this is common among people who will talk about the gifted and talented education programs and they have different names taggate there's one called MGM there's one called leap there's one called search there's one I mean there's one called reach and there's so um and there's other ones too but common among the folks who had the experience of being tested for things that didn't make sense you know it wasn't an IQ test it was something else um is this sort of memory lapse thing where even in the moment I remember not remembering. So that's the tricky thing. So there's a difference between you know talking to someone now and saying you know back when I was in seventh grade a million years ago I don't remember what I did. Well, probably because you're 57 years old, you know, [laughter] but um >> but in the moment. >> But in the moment, so I would go to this room about once every week or every other week and I would meet with this counselor and I think I know who the counselor was, but sometimes there would be this other person there, but I have no idea what we would talk about because I remember the steps going to the room. I could retrace those almost to the point where I know the colors of the bricks on the wall to my left and the colors of the lockers on my right. Um, but then I get to the hallway that has the room. I open the door. I remember that. And then it's the first one on the right. So, I remember that. It's a small room like the size of a bathroom. It's very small. And there's, you know, covering on the window. Um, so no one can see in. Um, so that's a little creepy, but whatever. Maybe in a counseling session makes sense. I always remember dreading that walk. As soon as I get in the room and I close the door, I remember nothing. Then I open the door and I leave and I'm [clears throat] just confused and I go back to class and I remember not remembering. So whatever happened in that room. Yeah. So that was the the deepest part of this kernel was the acknowledgement that that wasn't about gifted and talented education there. I don't know if it was a drug, a hypnosis. >> Do you remember ingesting anything? >> There was a a pink drink that I have two memories of. One memory is that I spit it out because they told me it was fluoride and it was chalky and kind of viscous and I thought, "This a isn't fluoride and b you shouldn't swallow fluoride, so why would you why would you want me to swallow this?" >> Yeah. >> Um and then there the other memories of drinking it. Um, but I actually had a dream last night about this and uh, so I'm still trying to figure so, so I'm still trying to figure out what that was. So, let me just make the context a little bigger and then we'll come back to the dream. So, the context includes also just too much hearing testing. So, I've always had very sensitive hearing. By too much hearing testing, I mean it's not like I grew up next to a shooting range and they were concerned about my hearing. They were pulling me out to do these hearing tests that weren't real hearing tests. I ended up getting a, you know, a PhD in in psycho acoustics and communication sciences and disorders specifically in sound and understanding sound and the brain and the mind. And I know what a hearing test is. These were not that, right? This is not we're going to raise the level of a sound. We're going to lower it and we're going to figure out where you can hear it. It was here. Listen to this. How do you feel? [laughter] That's not a hearing test. >> Whoa. >> Yeah. So, um there was that. I do remember that. And they were administered by these folks in suits and they were always administered in pairs. So like two students would be there called from the same sort of cohort and they would administer these tests. They were not from the school. They would do it in the nursurse's office. So I remember that. I remember the teachers um like I was I didn't have to go outside to recess. I should have probably gone outside to recess, but instead I was given a chance to to do computer coding when the first computers came out in the late '7s. And uh so I learned how to basic and and uh forran and stuff like that. Um [clears throat] that wasn't that that could have been just enrichment, but there was this feeling to it of that there was a goal, but I didn't understand what the goal was. So I just just did it cuz it was more entertaining. I was really bad at soccer and all the kids used to play soccer. And so um there was that. Feels like a feels like a chapter out of Ender Game >> a little bit. Like they they saw me and they're like, "Well, so I have the copy of the test that I took in first grade where they said across the board I was operating at like 12.9 grade level, which means, you know, you graduated from high school." And they never skipped a grade. Like I found that, you know, just a few years ago. And I'm like, why didn't my parents ever skip me a grade? I don't think they ever saw the test. >> Um because every year I remember just thinking, I learned the same thing. I'm going to go insane. [laughter] And so it's funny. I actively I remember in third grade I was offered to skip ahead and I was with my you know we lived on I went to school on military bases my entire life. And I remember um sitting there with my mom and the teacher and her explaining to my mom that I'm incredibly bored here. And I I was like I'd never vocalized that, you know, so I don't know how she, you know, said that, but um she was like, you know, he needs to. And I remember my mom turning to me and asking me, do you want to go ahead? And I said, no, cuz I I I I feared the social consequences. Hey, just wanted to take a quick second to say thank you so much for all the support uh that you've given to Area 52. Um, whether that's purchasing a ticket to the live shows, whether that's liking this video, commenting on another video, sharing it with your friends, buying something from our shop, which by the way, we got a sale going on. 25% off all hats if you're interested. Um, but just a generalized thank you. This is not a sponsor. There is no sponsors for this video, but I did want to take some time to just thank you, the audience. Uh truly truly truly grateful for all of your support and I won't take up any more of your time. Please enjoy the rest of the podcast. >> Yeah. See, so I think they did it differently with boys and girls. So there were plenty of boys that were skipped ahead in my school >> and I was jealous. They never asked me the question. >> Weird. >> I don't know if it's cuz they wanted to study me for longer, which is what I suspect, >> or what. Um, >> so my it turns out, so, so I'm starting to get this information, but what really makes me think that there's something going on, and I'll get back to the weird counseling sessions in a second. What really makes me think that there's something going on is I apply for a job in the federal government that requires a clearance. And they say, "Send us um all of your transcripts from your entire schooling history." So, I take that very literally and I go back to like first grade, kindergarten, [laughter] you know, the whole thing. >> Wow. >> And I write them a note. I say, "I need my transcripts." They're like, "Okay." So, they went back to like microfich and they [laughter] get it and they, you know, digitize it and send it to me. And the comments area from first through 8th grade, they're all redacted. So, that's what made me So, I said, "Uh, sorry, I'm me." So, I think I get to see these and they're like, "Yeah, no, we this is what we have." Like, we like >> they don't have the unredacted. >> They don't have the unredacted version. >> Luckily, my mom has at least the first grade one. So, I was able to compare the unredacted with the redacted. And I saw that what was redacted are all the notes from all the teachers talking about me. >> And what were those notes? >> Just like Julia is an amazing storyteller. She's reading at a high level. Blah blah blah. I help she helps the other students blah blah stuff like that. How would that why would they redact that? >> Because as you get older in the first through 8th, this is all the same school first through 8th grade. As you get older, there's going to be notes about we take her out for, you know, forrren and basic training. >> Oh, >> she goes, you know, to the office a lot. We don't know why. She has lots of stomach aches. We don't understand why. She seems to have lots of ear infections. We don't understand why. You know, she's now in the gifted program. So there's no record of me being in the gifted program on the transcript anymore >> and a lot of unconsensual things I suppose like that they didn't run by your parents. >> Yeah. So that's that's my thought. >> Sure. So that made me think, oh god. The other thing that made me think there's something going on is the reason why I applied for this job in the federal government is I had backing up. I uh got a call from uh this organization that I had applied to and um they said, you know, you back in January or February, you sent us a resume. We think we'd like to talk with you about a particular job. And I said, 'Oh, really interesting. That's cool. But 4 days before that, I'd sent a foyer request about my Soore stuff to FOYA. I'd said, I really want to understand this program. This is the deal. Can you just send me any information you have about this and if there's any relationship with I had targeted the Air Force because I thought maybe there was a relationship with the Air Force. I it's called SOORE. I don't know. I And so four days later, I get this, "Oh, we want to recruit you call." And so we have a conversation. I This is interesting. And then um so they say, "Okay, that you pass this interview, you know, next thing is the cognitive testing. We're going to do some background research on you and then you'll, you know, fast forward to the cognitive testing if that works." And so then I think it's like couple days later, I get an email from the Foye people saying, "Would you like to drop your request?" Um because it might be hard for us to find out this information unless you exactly know what program it was. Now the foyer just doesn't act that quickly, right? >> No. [laughter] >> I mean, >> no, no, no. That they're notoriously Yeah. >> of, you know, they've got a backlog of years. >> Correct. So then I go I start thinking, okay, well obviously this seems like there's some kind of a relationship. I just see what happens if I say yes, I want to drop it. I drop it. 3 minutes later, I wrote it down in my journal. I get a call. Oh, you've been passed the cognitive testing for that job. >> Whoa. So you think there's a direct relationship there? direct correlation between dropping the foyer request and getting >> past to the next step. >> Getting past the next step >> and the next step was of course more co cognitive testing which is exactly what I'm used to. I mean like >> again and again and again. >> So not a coincidence. >> No. And that well I don't know it could be a coincidence. >> Yeah. >> It just was very interesting coincidence. Sure. So I started getting like okay maybe there's something going on and that's when I started working on the book. So or that's when I then that seed was planted. But I also called my mom uh because I was like, I wonder what she remembers. And I just said, you know, mom, uh, what do you think about that sore program I was in? Done. That was the question. >> Yeah. >> She goes, well, they were studying you. [laughter] And I'm like, did they tell you that? She goes, no, but they had to have been. She's like, you guys were smart and you and your sister, and I'm confident they were studying you. And um, >> but who's they? I said, "Who's they?" And what are they studying? >> I said, "Who's they?" And she just goes, "CIA." And I'm like, "Do you know that?" And she's like, "No, but like that seems like the right people, right?" And everyone thinks it's the CIA when someone's doing something nefarious, but maybe it is. I don't know. >> Yeah. >> So, back to going to that room. This this experience, I finally decided I would do some regression with some memory regression. I went to a UAP friend in the field. you know, who do you know who's not going to plant ideas in my mind as I do hypnotic regression? >> And they went and did some research and they came back and they said, "This person, this is a great person." So, I contacted that person. >> Have I told you this story? No. >> Now, this is just so burned in my mind. [sighs and gasps] Um, I contact that person. I set up an appointment. I'm scared, you know, and I told my husband, "I want you to be with me when we're doing this." Like, this is scary to me, you know. >> Yeah. Uh, but that's the day before and I get a text from her and she says, "Um, I'm sorry. I have to cancel. I have emergency dental surgery." And I'm like, "Oh, oh, totally get it. You know, when would you like to reschedule?" I can't reschedule. Anytime you'd like to do a regression, I will have emergency medical emergency dental surgery. >> Whoa. >> What the >> Yo, that's crazy. >> I know. And I was like I looked at the phone and I was like I showed my husband. I'm like, "What does this mean?" It's like, he's like, either she was protecting me cuz she could sense something or >> she was being told >> or she was being told. I mean, if you want to be really paranoid and decide that the government or whatever is that efficient that that she would be told, I would think it's be more likely to be government contractors than the government because I don't think the government's >> of course. Yeah. Government is a is a term but not as an actual entity. >> Yeah. Um, so either she was being told or she sensed that it would be a bad idea. So, ever since then, I haven't done it. So, then I had this dream last night. >> Have I asked her about it? >> You should ask her that question. >> No, I don't even have her contact information anymore. I don't even know who she was. Like, it it was like it was almost like a shock to my system. It's like it >> Yeah, >> it's like removed my capacity to function about that in that moment. >> Does it cause you to be more curious now or less curious? I sort of after listening to what happened to other people >> through regressions >> through regressions or even the people who remember like Jordan Jose. >> Yeah. >> I sort of wonder if I want to know. I sort of wonder if it would be more traumatizing to know. And that's when I land on the protective thing. >> Right. So that's that's her having done this before. >> Yeah. and and clearly nonbeneficial >> for the uh the people involved, >> right? And so there's so there's a part of me that says, >> "Right, that makes sense." >> Yeah, maybe it's protective to not look. But then I had this dream, >> but also okay, please please go on. >> So then I had this dream last night when I was I knew I would be on the show and though I'd probably talk about this and I had this dream that that one of the counselors, but this time it was a man. Sometimes it would be a woman and a man together, I think. And I think it was her husband and I think it was the counselor's husband who had literally been a a boot camp u sergeant in the army back where the sword program started which is um near the Savannah River nuclear facility by the way. Anyway, so I um like near Augusta, Georgia. Um, I had this dream that the the male counselor was in my dream. I haven't seen him in a million years, right? >> Wow. >> Yeah. And he's wearing all black and he's telling me um he's a white guy wearing all black and he's telling me this is it. You know, you're going to um you're going to do it this time. Like I think we've I think we've got this. And I'm kind of like on his team and I'm like, "All right, yeah, I think I can do this." you know, like like like let's do it like like there's some kind of challenge and in the moment in the dream I don't know what I don't have any history in my mind, right? But I have some I apparently have some kind of subconscious history like I don't have any memory of what we're doing in the dream as that person in the dream but I have some kind of subconscious memory or body memory. And so I go, okay. And I go up sort of in my mind or maybe in my body, both. I'm like fly essentially on levitate to the top of this tower that looks like the Stanford bell tower and I look around out of the holes um the little port holes at the top of the tower and then I burst through the ceiling like and then that's when I realize I'm not that's not my body, you know? >> Yeah. And I'm I realize, oh, I haven't been able to do this and now I'm able to do this. I've I've I've been stopping I've been letting the ceiling stop me. Like it's a belief thing. And I was it was in a frame where we were very much working together on this goal of getting me to be able to just burst through this and get away from the sort of rules of the physicality of things and to ignore that and to assume that I can go through things and then therefore I could. Um, and then I look down at him and I go, "Oh god, this guy's kind of an asshole." Like I had this moment of I burst through and then I'm like, "Ah." And he suckered me into this by making it seem like this is the the amazing challenge that I'm going to do and I'm going to feel great and everything, but I'm not going to remember this. So, it's all for him. It's all for whatever he's doing. That was my experience in the dream. >> You were you uh your younger self essentially? >> Yeah. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> And so I mean that's >> wild. That is wild. >> It's a dream. But I often get really useful information in my dreams. >> But there's I mean the only the only connecting point here is that you knew you were going to do the show. You knew you might talk about this and then it like uh maybe yeah maybe it stimulated something in your subconscious that came forward. But you know just even dreaming about this man who you haven't thought about in years. I mean that is kind of substantial there. And you mentioned Jordan Jose, which also, you know, that was kind of the goal from his conversations and and what, you know, hearing him and reading, you know, what he put out as uh as Martin there that that >> Yeah. >> was um was this kind of idea of like, yeah, get get out of body. >> Yeah. >> And like build this construct or whatever for them, right? >> Um >> but I feel like that's and I know that the Monroe Institute does great things with with help with helping people. It can be very healing, but also I feel like there's this piece where getting people to go out of their body is very unsafe for them. >> You feel that? >> I I think not if it's not done well. It can be very unsafe because if you're out of your body, what can go into your body? I mean, if consciousness can be free from the body, >> I mean, someone else's consciousness can like, hey, >> you know, you're a zombie right now right in there. >> Maybe. Yeah, >> maybe. Maybe. I don't know. But if like if if if that's a real thing, it just made me think we need to be careful. I guess I was trained in remote viewing by John Pavanco who I mean I guess I was trained in remote viewing first by John Pavanco, but I I guess this is partly his influence because he would say the safest place for you to receive information is inside your body. And remote viewing has a horrible name because it shouldn't be remote and it shouldn't necessarily be viewing. It could be all the senses, >> right? >> But in order to do that, you need to be inside your body. >> Yes. Yeah. People get that confused with remote viewing. You're not actually going anywhere. This isn't an out of- body experience. >> Yeah. Your body's like a sensor for the information. >> So, um that if that happened, if I was encouraged to do these these things for the benefit of someone else, um it's sort of a bummer. partly because like cool I could have done really amazing things that I don't remember that I did but it's also a bummer because it was for the benefit of someone else I didn't get to integrate it. >> Yeah. >> You know as as um with my own directive and and ethics and then I was also apparently in according to that dream >> you know if we're going to use dreams as data encouraged to go out of my body. The reason I feel comfortable using dreams sometimes as data is because I know my own dreams have been highly evidential. >> Mhm. >> In terms of precognition and so >> well Dean Raiden has a you know talks about that a lot as well or Dean Raiden or sorry Rupert Sheldrickch >> about uh dreams being precognitive as well and encourages a lot of dream journaling in that way and >> not all of them. No, not all of them. Yeah. >> And so with each dream it's sort of like well maybe this is just my opinion. It could be this psychological metaphor. >> Yeah. >> For how it felt, but it's still describes how it might have felt. >> Very relatable as well to the entire topic. >> Have you ever had uh out-of- body experiences aside from that? >> So, oh, see, and I don't even know if that aside from that dream. Yeah. >> So, I have multiple dreams like that where I'm having an out-of- body experience, but I don't um >> never during a waking state. >> Not ever were during a waking state. And almost like veheumly so. Yeah. >> Almost like I've got that lockdown. >> Oh, >> like that's not going to be happening. >> I have. >> You have? >> Oh, yeah. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. Yeah. I have uh two years ago or two years ago, I suppose it was two years ago now. Um yeah, I had involuntarily two nights in a row woke up hovering over my body like woke up. I was wide awake. >> Were you at Monroe? >> Nope. I was at home. I'd never heard about this stuff before. >> Oh, this is before you heard about any of it? >> Yeah. Maybe like >> Can you tell me more about it? Like what state you were in? >> I was in I was in deep sleep and then had a nightmare and then forced my eyes open in the nightmare to like wake up cuz I was I was conscious that it was a nightmare. Yeah. >> And I had to wake up. So I like forced my eyes open and then I was in my room. >> Yeah. >> But everything was like I could see in the dark because I guess my eyes were used to it. So everything was like >> out of focus. Like it felt grainy. >> Yeah. um low saturation and um felt this buzz, this incredible like deep like hum like I was a tuning fork and someone just slapped me like it was like like this and I was like it was almost euphoric like a nice feeling >> and uh I I I just felt like I could will myself up. I don't even know why I felt that but I just felt I could just cuz I've flown in dreams before and I felt like I just this is the same feeling. I can just will myself up and I did that. scared me and I started paddling down. >> Yeah. >> Back to my bed and then sort of uh woke up again, I guess. Uh and said, you know, that was strange. It objectively didn't feel like a lucid dream. Like I I woke up from a lucid dream into that whatever that state was, >> right? >> And then I said, I want it to happen again. So, and I'd taken melatonin that night, which I don't usually take. >> Um and the next night I was like, I want it to happen again. And it did. And this time I was like, I'm not going to be afraid. And I remember willing myself up. And this time turning around and seeing myself laying there >> and the fear like back. >> Oh, it was I was scared the second I was in that state. >> It's like you're I always say it's like like you're walking a tight rope of fear. Like >> instant manifestation will happen. It feels like what I felt like anyways. Like if I if I think about something terrible like that will come upon me >> and or good. So I just didn't want to think of anything. I'm like just keeping one foot in front of the other type deal. >> And that happened. And uh and then I I remember swimming back to my body, going lower than my body, feeling my body as I falling through it. >> Was your back facing your stomach or did you have to turn around? >> I had to turn around to see. And then I I just kind of like went like this. I went, "Oh, no." And then I I was going like this, paddling backwards to come back down. >> Totally. And I went past my body. And I I remember feeling like the >> like my body as I'm going through it and like and I go past it and I was like, "No, no, >> you're like out of register." >> Yes. And I'm trying to like go back up and I'm like, "I didn't know you can go down." Like that was very frightening to me. >> Um and then so after that I I remembered a conversation I had with Joe McMonagle, Joseph McMongle. um during the time that he was at Stargate that they had sent him, you know, on weekend retreats to the Monroe Institute to see if he can leave his body and to see if that would be more conducive for a more accurate remote viewing session. And so he would do this over the weekends, right, from Fort me and go there and and uh I remember him telling me about this and this is before I, you know, had an experience and I I thought what like what is this guy talking about? Like he's he's >> how can you leave your body? That sounds crazy. >> Yeah. Yeah. Like I was like, "Okay, this is weird." Like I I was buying everything else until now and I'm like, "This guy's a little weird." >> Um maybe a dream he's having and he's misinterpreting a dream or something, right? >> And so then I when I had this experience immediately I go, that's what Joe was talking about. Oh, do you want to turn it down uh to you? I think you're here. Does this make it better or worse? >> That's better. No, I really want to hear your words, but then I was >> intense. So, um, so then I was like, "That's what he was talking about. That's the out of- body state." I was like, "Oh my god." So, I start I I buy Robert Monroe's book. I read that read through a few of his books, go online. Everybody's having the same symptoms as I had. And I was like, "This is objectively not a dream now. I I know this." Because I didn't know anything about this. It wasn't like it was my subconscious being like, "Hey, you know, this is I I didn't know what an out of- body was." And I had the same experience these people are describing. And so that's where I signed up for the Monroe Institute. I documented my gateway process. I made a little documentary about that. And then every day when I came back from that, every day for like three and a half months, I meditated for an hour every morning at around 4:30, like it was super early in the morning. And then after about 3 months, I started having regular out-of- body experiences. >> And did you want that? I >> I was trying to actively have it. >> Okay. Um because I was like I want to try >> you wanted to face this fear and >> yeah well I just want to know if this was a thing you know because I I had it happen to me and then it started happening um where I would go into vivid dreams or or or uh lucid dreaming and I would roll out of a lucid dream out of my body. >> Um but again it's like happening in this nebulous sort of time at night where I'm like am I asleep? Is this a dream? Until one morning at 5:30 in the morning sun's blaring in my room. I have no curtains in my room and I meditate for an hour and I put the headphones down and as soon as my head hit the pillow I felt the thrumming the the the vibration. I was like, "Oh, it's happening. Oh my god." And I just get up out of my body and I was lucid the entire time. I didn't fall asleep for a second. >> Wow. >> And I get up and I walk around my room and then I hear a female voice um which scared me and so I look and I go right back in my body. But that short 30 seconds happened during a lucive awake state with the sun shining in my room and I didn't fall asleep. So, >> and that was the last time I was like, "All right, got my confirmation." >> How long ago was that? >> It was uh it happened I guess maybe not last year, the year before. Yeah. Two years ago. >> Do you think Okay, I don't know why I asked that, but do you think that um you just wanted confirmation or do you think you were practicing something? There's a part of me that thinks you I mean you seem very familiar to me and there's a part of me that thinks you were probably in one of those programs kind of like I was especially cuz your dad was in the military. Um >> I don't know. I don't >> Do you have any memory of that? >> I I remember mouthwash like that was a regular thing like the the pink liquid with the mouthwash. >> But would you spit it out? >> You would spit it out. >> Yeah, that's fluid like liquidity. It wasn't >> Yeah, exactly. It wasn't viscous. It wasn't opaque. Um, other than that, I it's hard to it's hard to I don't remember anything strange in in my childhood, but again, I did, you know, I did like 10 schools when I was a kid, so bumped around quite a bit. >> Yeah. >> Uh, and my dad was uh enlisted. He wasn't like an officer, so it wasn't like we were like Air Force or anything. He was infantry. >> Yeah. >> Um, so yeah, don't remember anything like that. Um, yeah. And and yeah, adversary >> because you were so good. I mean just it just happened spontaneously. >> It happened spontaneously. I think it was kind of a perfect storm when it happened. But then when I tried it, it took like three months and multiple people I've talked to at a convention, the same convention I met you at. Uh we were I was with like three other people and we were having this discussion and I told my story and all three of the other people said for them it also happened at about 3 three and a half months into meditating every day. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> So that seemed to be like the common denominator between us four where it's like oh okay it takes that much time to achieve like this kundalini or this like experience. >> Um so it was really enlightening. >> Yeah. >> And for me I don't seek it anymore. Not because I'm afraid of it. Um but there was this there was this sentiment of okay this seems to be like what happens to you when you die. This this seems to be the phenomenon that people describe when they >> which is why I think it might be a little dangerous >> perhaps. Um but I also felt like okay if this is what happens to you when you die and this might not be the afterlife. It might just be transitional might be something else. What's the hurry? >> Yeah. Right. >> Exactly. Like people have the hardest time staying in their bodies. >> Yeah. >> And >> I was like I got it. But I'm like now it's time to be in here. Yeah, that's why I'm here. >> Yeah, that's coming. >> Yeah, exactly. >> I guarantee you I'm going I'm going to have an out of body again. >> I think that's really healthy. But I also think Joe didn't feel like going out of body helped him very much. >> Uh what's your what's your memory of that? >> Uh he did say that he he had one session I spoke to Ed May about this as well, Dr. Ed May. And um >> he said he had one session where there was a you know, get out of your body, go into the other. They started with the uh with the ping pong balls in the eye of the Gansfield sort of uh effect to like stimulate this uh out of body state and then they said get out of your body walk into the other room in the envelope there's a picture go look at the picture and tell me what's on the picture and he did that but he couldn't he couldn't physically interact the envelope cuz he was out of his body >> and so he just tried to like project where he would be where that photo was taken and he drew and it was like a one for one >> to the photo >> but he was able to do that anyway without going out of body so it's a little tricky >> yeah he really good at it. >> You still is, I think. Yeah. >> Yeah. >> But anyways, I digress. I I didn't want to make this about me. >> No, but it is I mean this and I think part of it is by like the reason I had that dream was that it brings this up is that there is this fear of you know there's this idea of sovereignty. That's one of the things we were talking about at that conference. Yeah. >> Contact in the desert in this panel. And there's this idea of like, well, even if there are an NHI, if there's aliens, how can we be sovereign over our own minds? And I think that there's both a desire in the ego to be sovereign and an awareness or a meta awareness in the rest of ourselves that holy that's not a real thing. [snorts] >> Like, where does your where where do your ideas come from anyway? They don't they don't come from your ego. Yeah. >> Your ego is just a claimer that claims like look what I did. That's all >> and nothing is invented. >> No. Yeah. >> Everything's discovered. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Even inside yourself. And so um the idea of sovereignty like there's a little concern in this onlogical shock that the people who are worried about onlogical shock that will discover that you know aliens are doing mind control. It's like kind of does it matter whether it's aliens or your subconscious? You still don't have any control over it. >> Yeah, that's right. Yeah. You have the illusion of control or what semblance of control you're trying to hold on to. >> Yeah. And I think that that's part of why I that dream matters to me is because that's all operating in me, too. I mean, I can say that intellectually, like, oh, it's an illusion of control and stuff, but like it pisses me off that perhaps people had me do things that that were really cool kind of in a certain way, like feats of interesting of interesting important and nature, >> but that I don't get to know about them. >> You're robbed of the experience >> in a certain sense. >> Yeah. Um, what do you make of that? Because I'm I mean I'm curious to hear your thoughts as well about where cuz you you touched on information there for a second and in your book you speak about this as well as like >> you know information you know rides on light to travel and that type of thing but >> it doesn't have to. It doesn't have to, but it can. But it exists sort of um I guess omnipresently um all around us and we all have access to that in space and time. And I do believe that as well. I think that that's a sound assessment of you know I always I always use the example of if if this earth just disappeared another one were to appear like stories uh around you know mythology or or religion would vary >> but math would essentially be the same >> and so where's that right it's in it's it's it's >> how foundational is that it must be you know before space and time yeah right it's this idea of this informationational substrate >> if you want to think about it is like like like a bunch of ones and zeros that don't that aren't being manifested on a page or on a computer. They're just presence absence >> one zero presence absence and it's timeless. It's spaceless. But it contains all the information in the universe from the beginning to the death of the universe. And then what we experience in terms of human experience could be what that grows up into. So this can you know sparkling water and these microphones and our headphones and our bodies those are all the ones and zeros growing up into that. So the informationational substrate sort of from that arises our bodies and and the things that you know we have and that we can see and feel and touch and taste and hear. And so if that is the case then what is the mind? Where does the mind live? Is the mind in physicality? No. You can't point to the mind. It has no mass. It doesn't behave like a physical thing. It's not in a place. It's not really in a time. You can shift your mind around all over in time. So the psychological sort of sense of time or the sense of events in time doesn't live in the physical world. That's the mind. And so that mind really lives in this information space. Mind really is almost equivalent with this information space. So should we be surprised when things happen in your mind where you have an intention or even subconsciously you have an intention and something just shows up, some miracle occurs or like in your magic, right? Something just comes together. Um should we be surprised? Probably not, >> right? Because the mind is constantly living in that impossibility. >> It is of that. >> Yeah. >> It is of that information. >> It's just kind of leaking into the physical versus the opposite. >> The opposite. Right. Exactly. The physical the the brain is sort of this byproduct of the mind. That's how it shows up to us. >> Yes. >> You know, in a in a bug, it shows up in a different way. >> So, also should we be surprised by telepathy? Should we be surprised that um people like autistic non-speakers who haven't been able to express themselves through speech start to learn to access the information directly without having to hear it from someone else? Right? Should we be surprised by that? I think all these things are sort of >> going to be reframed in the next decade where we're going to start recognizing because of this error where we decided mind had to be physical. Sure. >> Which is nuts. But anyway, I I bought into it, too. So, I was nuts, too. But because of this error, um we've we become surprised by these things and say they can't be true when in fact it's like the essential nature of how everything is working. So, I don't know how we started talking about that. >> I mean, I love it. [laughter] Whereas, um so I'm really interested in this because it begs so many questions, so many new questions for me. Like is there a positive goal or a necessary throttling of our access to the mind or to where the mind is by our physical body? Like why is that a necessity? It seems like >> wait throttling >> what does throttle mean in a car? Like this is like >> okay like dialing back the >> probably like one of the two way you have [laughter] and I feel embarrassed to ask. >> I don't know much about cars and and uh >> but what does it mean? um just the dialing back of access to um the the substrate is clearly >> um present like we're clearly >> we're we're clearly being gatekept from having access to a certain extent >> and when you say clearly I want to provide some evidence for that like so it's not just the opinion >> I can't actively use my mind to uh peer into the future and the past at will um you know well perhaps I can but I just don't know how but it feels like if we go if we look throughout history humankind has not been able to do that in a way that is uh repeatable or at all like measurable. So there has to be a benefit to us not being able to do that. What is that benefit? >> Got it. Filter theory of consciousness, right? There's this idea that the brain actually acts as a filter and a reducing valve is the original term. So that you just get way less and then the information's there because you can't handle you can't handle the truth. Exactly. So you get this picture of the truth and then we develop all sorts of theories based on this picture which is wrong but nonetheless helpful. >> So yeah um that's like Donald Hoffman type stuff, perceptual interface, cognition or perception. Um so what benefit is there? Um, if you want to make individual creatures, like if if if the universe, I don't know, feels like something else has to want this. If if there are going to be individual creatures that have different dispositions and solve things in different ways, which is actually very beneficial to a species to have widely divergent minds >> to data collection as well. >> Yeah. and data collection. If you want to see each individual as like an observer who's going to just send it up to the mother ship, >> like if you want that, then you better not know that you can just get all that information all at once. >> Yeah. >> In one second, [laughter] >> right? >> And that all the information can be shared cuz why have more more than one person? So this points to a creator >> to I mean if we're going to go down this road I think it does because it's like why else it's like this idea this sort of a mystical idea of the creator wanted to know you know its own creation and so the creator makes >> incarnates into >> it incarnates into all these separate beings and it wants to know its own unity but the only way to really know its own unity is by feeling separate truly feeling separate and not having access to the unity and then it can learn the unity and that's much more valuable than just knowing I'm one. >> Mhm. >> Because then you haven't really learned it, right? So it's just it's a really beautiful story and >> it makes sense too. >> It's a it's a story that makes sense. It's very compelling, you know, and then when when if you want to ask is it real? Is it correct? Like can any story like that be correct? I mean, can what does it even mean to be correct when you're talking about a mystical story? So, it's sort of to me by default correct because it's so compelling and it and it helps lead people at least it helps me go towards the good, >> you know, it makes me feel like there's a reason there's meaning. It helps my relationship with God. So, I say it's correct because what is correctness when it, you know, it's untestable. So what is correctness when it comes to these deep mystical ideas? I think that what correctness is is that which leads you towards the good, >> right? Just something that is just or or >> or full of love. >> Yeah. >> But then you would, you know, simultaneously need the other half to to even to even experience love, right? >> Which other half? >> I mean the the the the love, >> not you. the well no the the part of the universe that is uh that seems to be the opposite of love you know you would need that as well in contrast to to even create it wouldn't you >> yeah no so there's conditional love that would be more like that contrasty thing and there's unconditional or divine love or universal love you don't need >> there to be any other thing right it's like this giant love bubble that encases everything including the informationational substrate And um there's no downside to that. >> So that's there's no shadow there. That's like so that is truly foundational. So in so as we're going down this rabbit hole in this cosmology underneath the informationational substrate is the one true substance of which the universe is created which is love. >> Okay? >> Which is really that which connects. And so ones and zeros can only exist. duality >> can only exist in a substrate of that which connects. You can only have this separation between a one and a zero if you if you know that there's something from which they both emerge. And and for for you, you've seen that that in your studies that love is the foundational substrate underneath information below everything around everything that the glue that binds it all. So not in my studies because that's just I don't know how to test that >> right yet and yet not yet but aesthetically it sounds right to me >> right >> and I think there should be a physics of love to explore it but in my studies what I can test is the idea of okay if there's there is this you know foundation of love and if people can experience unconditional love I know it's a peak experience it doesn't happen all the time but if when people are experiencing unconditional If there's a kind of a sense I have that if you're experiencing unconditional love, you're basically accessing this foundational. You're aware that this foundational piece exists. You're kind of always accessing it because it's foundational to everything, right? But you're aware of that access. And when you're aware of that access, that can allow you to access this informationational substrate that's growing out of the love. >> So imagine the love are like the roots, right? The love is like the root and then the little bushes are the informationational substrate, right? The ones and zeros are like yellow bush, green bush or whatever. And then the fruit from that is space and time and matter and energy. So the fruits that grows on those trees. So if you can access, if you can be aware of your access of that unconditional love, you're at the very base. So you have now access to the whole system. So the idea that I tested was if people are feeling unconditional love, are they better at accessing that information? Can they go into theformational substrate and predict predict the future for instance which is in there as much as the past, right? And so I tested that first um by mistake by doing this other experiment. Uh, and I but I just happened to notice that the the folks who were rated themselves as feeling a higher level of unconditional love, which was part of the experiment for another reason, um, were also significantly better at pre-cognitive remote viewing. >> How significant? >> Um, I forget what the p value was, but we only had 36 people, so it was significant enough that with 36 people, you saw it. >> Wow. >> Then I did it with online. Um, that was an in-person experiment. Then I did it online with 305 people and um you could still see that difference. So in other words, people who didn't feel the high levels of unconditional love were just at chance. People who did were significantly above chance and significantly better than the people who didn't feel that love. >> Wow. >> So if you want to do pre-cognitive remote viewing, there's probably other things that can help. binaural beats maybe even um you know need I think need is really important belief is really important personality type is really important your nature but also being in a state of unconditional love seems like it could help and maybe that's because of this access to these roots of the of the trees >> right like you're going you're closer to the source >> yeah it's like you're more it's like you're speaking the language of the trees of of the roots of the trees right you're speaking that language when you're feeling unconditional love. And so it's like you're in, you're allowed in. >> That's interesting because it does also relate to a lot of the uh alien encounter stuff. I mean, we talk whether it's you're talking about like the the sort of >> blonde, you know, blue-eyed, blar, Nordic, you know, benevolent sort of uh people that George Damsky spoke about and all these other people or whether you're talking about a lot a lot of cases as well is even whether they're these insect mantis looking creatures or whether it's the grays or whatever, but they always feel flooded with this sense of a familiarity, but then this sense of love and and compassion like they mean you no harm and they feel the sense of calming. And so do you think like hypothetically like that's what they're also using to communicate is they just have access to that substrate and for them to communicate it's just like a natural more >> that's a really I love that interpretation. So it wasn't it wasn't Jacob what's his name who was on Skywatcher didn't he like >> uh Jake Barber >> Jake Barber didn't he just sobb with a feeling being overwhelmed with unconditional love when he was picking up that one egg? No, it wasn't it wasn't the egg. Um, it was the eightgon this octagonal sort of craft that he felt when he was piloting >> that it was like Yeah. this overwhelming sense of feminine energy >> that's very sacred feminine the the octagon. Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Wow. Yeah. >> And the egg is also very feminine. Yeah. >> I mean, obviously I I've always found that to be really interesting as well that if you're dealing with some type of uh and you know, not to get too much into like the Jacqu Valet stuff, but like if you're dealing with some type of control system that is toying with you or that is like, you know, controlling everything. If you were this big masculine energy shooting guns and blowing up in the desert at a range, you know, for these nefarious, you know, contractors or whatever, like and you were trying to like beam something down and get, you know, your psionic assets and microwave cannons and >> and what would you get, right? What would you get? Well, you'd get an inert feminine egg. >> That's what you'd get, right? Like good luck. And there's nothing in it. to me. >> It's inert and it just plopped in the sand. >> Yeah. Yeah. I I um I think that many times this goes back to the sovereignty thing. Many times people I've talked to who are in that community, the shooting things in the desert community who are really good guys, they're scared of not being in control. And so the their response to Jacob Barber's experience is he was being mind controlled >> like that was that's the way they get in is through making you feel love. They're controlling your mind, right? >> As opposed to which could be true, but also I kind of think it's just fear of of the of being out of control and and the sacred feminine. I think that there's also your interpretation which is if you actually are a sophisticated enough culture, you're not interested in war. Like war is so primitive. It's just not interesting. You're aware that we're all interdependent. You're aware that consciousness is everywhere. You're aware that there's this informationational substrate and that love underlies it in this world picture. And so you're just giving people a taste. You're just trying to give people a taste, >> a nudge in the right direction >> just like folks like this is the key. So I do think of it as a medium. I I talked about this in my I wrote an article on medium called um how to avoid the time wars. It's about different kinds of time travel and about you know the possibility for time wars and the and the way that we have to relate to oursel our future selves. We assume for instance that there's at least anformational time travel machine where you could send information back in time. So let's assume that. So in order to relate to our future selves who are sending us messages, the we don't trust ourselves right now. We we wouldn't trust ourselves to send us messages. And if we got the message and it was really clear, we'd be like, "Well, this is Someone's trying to pull one over on You know, and so the only way to really move forward and avoid those kind of time wars across time is to move into unconditional love and use it as a medium to send these messages to use those roots as a medium to send that information. >> And so that's that like dominating principle. I hate to use the word domination in this context, but in any case, primary principle in um my startup. Can I tell you about my startup? Yes, please. >> Okay. So there's different kinds of time travel. mental time travel, informationational time travel, physical time travel, right? And when I say these with such confidence, it's just because I made them up. So, I'm really confident that I made them up. [laughter] >> Okay? Information mental time travel is like precognition. >> You're and it's also like memory, but we don't think of memory as time travel because it's in the normal direction, right? We're used to being able to know about the past even though we don't really know about the past, but we're used to thinking we do. Um, but precognition is like mental time travel, knowing something about the future that you can't know through other means. Um, there's informationational time travel, which is just getting information sent back to you in time, >> uh, without using pre-cognition. So, like potentially using a device like if we could reconfigure this this soundboard to give us informationational time travel, it would tell us about the sounds in the future by sliding up and down according to what would happen in the future. Yeah, that would be informationational time travel. And then physical time travel is what, you know, all the sci-fi stuff is about, like you actually send a chicken back in time and then a person. And um I do wonder a lot about once you develop informationational time travel, why you would want to develop physical time travel? Because with physical time travel, if your goal is to send a message back in time or to go to the future and and get >> change the past >> or change the past, it's all informationational, right? You could do that if you understand the informationational substrate. I don't see why you'd want to go up to the physical level. >> Yeah. Other than tourism. >> Other than tourism. But even that you can just insert in someone's mind a memory of having done that. >> Yeah. Or VR. >> Yeah. And that speaks to alien visitations where people just have these things potentially inserted into their mind that didn't actually physically happen. >> But they're insertions because if you understand theformational substrate, you can do those insertions, >> right? Like downloads. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Yeah. Or uploads in a Yeah. So anyway, so sorry to dis physical time travel, but I do think there's this problem of being able to keep your memory with you as you do physical time travel. I I think that if you were able to do that, there's a memory issue there. >> So in any case, maybe I'm wrong. Who knows? Um I about 12 years ago, I got inspired. I'm a neuroscientist, right? Not trained in physics. My dad's a theoretical physicist, but I kind of ignore that. I'm an empiricist. I like to do experiments and build things and um so I got inspired to do this experiment that I couldn't let go of and I finally was able to do it and I did it and it showed what I suspected which is that photons at room temperature play the same games together. It's like they're friends. And let me unpack that for a second cuz you look blank. No, I'm I'm waiting to see what the friends do. [laughter] >> The friends play together who stay together. So, if you turn on a flashlight and you turn it off 5 minutes later, those friends are the ones that were emitted from that flashlight during that period of time. And they start to behave as if the system knows it's going to be on for 5 minutes. So it's like for the photons, they know that they're in this group. It's called boundary conditions in physics. The boundary condition of the on and the boundary condition of the off and the future are both um shaping this group's behavior. >> Okay? >> And so it's like they ignore the fact that one of those is in the future, >> right? >> And they ignore the fact that I'm a different photon than you are. we're all just going to act like we're part of this big same group cuz we're in this group that at the macro level is called what happened in that 5 minutes. >> Mhm. >> Right? So it's like this is looking at the building blocks from the informationational substrate that has the on and the off time to how it ends up manifesting which is this behavior of this group of photons in the physical world. >> It's already aware of the substrates uh intention. >> That's all that's what it does, right? Yeah. And so you can then look at the first minute of this 5 minutes and know that at a relatively high accuracy rate that it's going to be on for 5 minutes even if the person who's holding the flashlight doesn't know that in 5 minutes they're going to turn it off. >> H >> because it behaves differently than something that's going to be turned off in two minutes. >> That's so interesting. >> Yeah. So that's my startup is we're creating technology that can then look at that first chunk of time to predict the future. Period. [laughter] >> That's really interesting. >> Yeah. >> Um photons are interesting, aren't they? >> Photons are super interesting. They're not really physical. >> Yeah. They're almost Fineman, Richard Feineman, the physicist, used to call um used to think there was only one electron in the universe. >> I think that that photons are kind of like that. They're like a story and you pull them out when you need them. Like when an electron needs to >> you pull them through spaceime. >> Yeah. You pull Yeah. They show up. >> You pluck them. >> You pluck them when you need them. Like to balance a chemical equation. >> Sure. >> Yeah. >> Whoa. So I think they're very related to mind. Like I think they're in that one zero space almost more than the physical space. >> And I think maybe that's true of all bosonic particles. Photons are bosonic particles which are which are very uh I'm sorry I'm getting really nerdy. We can go. Is that okay? >> Yeah. Absolutely. >> So there's fair >> learning so much right now. >> Okay. Enriomy. So there's pheromionic particles that behave like electrons. um neutrons, um protons for the most part are framionic. They're behaving like almost like things that we expect are physical. You can't have two of them in the same place at the same time. That's ridiculous. Bonic particles are like, haha, we're very different. They they um like the Higs Bzon is a bonic particle for instance. So, or photons um they can stay in the same place at the same time that you can get an infinite number of them in the same place at the same time. Not a problem. Also, their identity does not depend on the location or the time in which they exist. So, a photon that's coming here from your lights above us, at least probably a million of them, are exactly the same photons that occurred back in 1723 when, you know, some historical thing was happening that I would know if I was a historian. [snorts] >> So, they're playing a different game. They're not playing this like march through time in a linear way game at all. >> So, but why not use that? >> Interesting to think as well that even through, you know, religious text, they were, you know, if even if you look at like some of the Renaissance paintings of uh God or Jesus or the angels, the light is always emanating from the source, God or like, you know, it's always the light. >> You always have to look at where the light is. in the absence of light will also detect like the uh the people who are not enlightened, the people who are you know trying to persecute Christ or whatever like this is like in these paintings there's this really vivid interesting history of light acting as like the you know as God. Yes. >> And so to to to also have that be the case in physics you know after >> Yeah. >> Uh is really interesting to be like no you guys were on to something with those paintings. >> Yeah. No, we're always coming up. You know, you know this idea of the Soran hypothesis where there's been another a completely it's like from Star Trek. Um it was another completely technological um civilization. >> Mhm. >> That got as ramped up as we did and then destroyed themselves maybe through global warming. Who knows, right? Through something. Through something. and we can't find the remnants because actually it's really hard to find remnants of of civilization because nature just does away with them really quickly. So, one thing I keep thinking about is the story that we have is like it's just been progress and progress and progress, but and and when we think of um like native indigenous communities, we often think of them as like well, you know, we've progressed past that level, like that's more primitive. But I keep thinking, what if this hypothesis is true? There is this civilization, you know, millions of years ago that died out. We have no record of them. And but what we do have is a record of those insights of the mystical insights that came from the degradation. In other words, maybe a few people survived and maybe those people are the indigenous people who carry some of these mystical insights and then have turned those into these world religions. Maybe we that is the future instead of the past. And that is what progress looks like when we begin to understand. Of course, science comes up with this same thing because it came from science millions of years ago. Technological society that discovered this, got to this level, something happened and it starts to grow up again, right? >> It's like it's the truth. >> Mhm. >> Emerging its head in in an infinite number of ways. >> Yeah. Yeah. No, that that does seem to be the case. And also even just a natural swing of the pendulum as well like where you know we were once entangled with spirituality or what have you or religion and science was all sort of one and then after you know the age of enlightenment we kind of started separating from that and then the pendulum now you know swung as far as it could on this side where we're like hey we're away from all that religious nonsense and it's all science now and well we're discovering we can't build a microscope that looks, you know, we keep finding smaller things like it just never ends, right? >> And so now we have to ask like, oh, is this the microscope? Is this like the instrument that we now we're coming back to that swing >> that same mystical stance >> if you if you were to send uh this is a question I've wanted to ask and that I do ask um uh people who who know a little bit about the stuff but like do you think it would be possible if you know cuz these these photons or whatever they can be entangled through time and and and space and there's no real limitation there. So, if I were to want to send information back, could I not simply, you know, entangle some of these or use the entangled photons um and sort of have them in an onoff position? >> Mhm. >> Um, suspended in this location or whatever, and then if you come to that same location in 40 years, could you not just like pull that information >> and and communicate? >> Yeah. >> Through time, would that not be possible? I mean there's something called the no signaling theorem in physics that says that you can't use entanglement to send information to do what you just said. >> Okay. >> Okay. But the there's a lot of challenges to that hypothesis. So and part of me when you when when you go back to the literature on that hypothesis part of it was motivated by the statement we don't see telepathy >> in nature. Therefore you can't signal a non-starter. Yes. And so if you trace back those ideas, there's a lot of motivation to to build to build up that theory or that theorem. Um, and I always doubt when their motivation is like, well, we don't see this in nature. Well, you know what? We do. >> Yeah, we do. >> There's people who are really gifted at telepathy. And um, so how are they doing it? Well, entanglement seems like a really good explanation. Doesn't mean it is the explanation. >> Sure. But >> and ones and zeros seems like a really uh seems like a great way to send information as well. Like >> Exactly. And I don't know that you need entanglement at the physical level for that. If you're working at the mind level, that could explain it even a deeper way. So, it's just that there's the world is opening up now as people are starting to recognize just as you said that we're coming across these discoveries by necessity because we're finding things that we can do that shouldn't work but they work, >> right? Yeah. That's why I'm so into building stuff is like >> I've had people read in the especially physicists just red in the face when I talk about just just like yelling at me. Do you not understand the second law of thermodynamics? And it's just um there there's a feeling among some physicists that there are science cops like we're going to tell you that this that look there's a law can't happen. No signaling theorem or this or that or the other thing and it's that's not where we're at now. We're past that. We're moving towards what can we build that we didn't think we could build because the science cop said we shouldn't be able to. So, I think this might be a little bit of my brushing up against my theoretical physicist dad >> who would say things like, "Well, you can't do that." You know, like there was ball lightning in our house and he would say, "Well, that's impossible, so that didn't happen." It's like, "Well, it did happen." [laughter] >> So, how did it happen? >> Wow. Yeah. So, that's that's the dogma of scientism. Yeah. >> Of this this idea of of uh there are certain things you just can't challenge. And that's something that you've brushed up against as well with a lot of your pre-cognitive studies, I take it as well, where >> the you know the variance or or or what you found to be precognitive happened in such a small time frame that they feel it negligible. >> Yeah. >> Um they think it's instrumental error or you know they just kind of brush it off because there's no way that that is allowed >> to be true. >> Well, yeah. And when you find it on the seconds or minutes time scale or with remote viewing, precognitive remote viewing, it could be days, weeks, years. >> Could you uh could you talk a little bit about some of these experiments uh for the audience that you've done in terms of >> um looking into, you know, uh instances of precognition and how you tested for that and what the results were. >> Sure. Yeah. I've I've sort of gone to two scales. I've gone to the really unconscious uh physiological scale and doing things um at the seconds to like 100 milliseconds to seconds time scale. And then on the other end, the more conscious um more deliberate precognitive remote viewing, you know, minutes, days, weeks, etc. scale. So, I've studied both of those. I I kind of like to do the extremes and then figure out what I can figure out. And so if you want to study precognition in the body physiologically, uh it's called pre-centiment generally. It could also be called these other things. I made up other terms for it to try to get it published like predictive anticipatory activity. So it didn't sound scary to people and it worked. I got it in a mainstream journal. But then I regretted it because it's so much easier to talk about presentiment. It means prefeing. So it's the idea that uh your body can change its heart rhythm, respiration, EEG, you name it, whatever sensor you want on the body before an event occurs. And the event is random. So your body's responding to a future event that it can't know about according to the usual means. So that's present. And the way you test it is exactly the way you would think. You hook someone up to whatever monitor you're using and you have some stimula. Um, some that are maybe going to make them scared or excited and some that are going to just be neutral and you don't know and the person doesn't know. No one on the planet knows which stimulus is going to show up. But just before the stimulus shows up, there will be a amping up. Uh, like your heart rate might go up or your skin conductance might go up. you might sweat a little bit more if it's going to be an arousing stimulus that's going to, you know, raise your attention. Um, and it will just be neutral or maybe go down if it's just a neutral stimulus. And that's the result. And it's been shown just a lot. So, one of the first studies I did was bringing people in and showing them like a picture of a gun versus a picture of a sunset and then they started crying because it was kind of emotional. So, I stopped that experiment because the gun is scary. And I had them just decide if they I tried to ask them to be psychic. I said, "There are, you know, four doors. Click on a door and have that be um we're going to find out if you won $2 or something." I did this on a smartphone. And that was the winning was an amazing stimulus. So if they were about to win, their bodies would get excited. This was really, really, really obvious among men. Among women, not so much. Among men, if they're about to win, they're at $2. It's only $2. But if they're about to win, there's an excitement that happens. And it's all random. There's no cue as to whether they're about to win, >> but their body knows it. >> And this this goes right into some of the literature on uh day trading. So looking at people who are really good day traders, they I think there's this wonderful paper called um inter reception and surviving a London trading floor or something and it's about that the really good day traders are the ones who can hear their own heartbeats. And so it's almost like they're they don't even need a sensor. They're sensing into their own body's wisdom about what's about to happen. >> Wow. >> Yeah. So that's the physiology side. And then on the other side is the precognitive remote viewing side, which is draw a picture, write down some words, do whatever you need to do um to describe the target you're about to see, you know, and you have in my studies, I tend to say like you have two minutes to do this because I'm working with people who aren't very good and they're going to just do >> is the target already chosen. >> Oh no. >> Okay. So it's a random target that will be generated. In all cases, I should have said that in all cases, you don't select the target until just before it's shown. So, the person has to already have all the data that you're gathering. >> Yeah. Before the target is selected. >> Absolutely. Because no one should know what that is. >> That's right. >> Yeah. So, but you might have a target pool like we had a target pool of like 89 targets. >> Okay. >> And so, they were going to get one of them, but they didn't know what those and you know, we didn't either know which one would be selected. So they they draw their picture, they do their words or whatever, they submit it, they wait whatever period of time, then they're able to see the target. Then what you do with that in the past, what we used to do, and in most of my studies, what we used to do is you take how do you score it, right? Because they're going to like draw a smiley face and some trees or whatever they draw, right? And you have to figure out that is that most like a picture of a atom bomb or is it most like a shoe, [laughter] >> right? And those are very different than what they drew because these are not gifted remote viewers. These are just regular folks. >> So what you have to do is take them, you give them to an independent judge who doesn't know what the target was. They don't know that the atom bomb was the target, >> right? >> So you give them the atom bomb and the shoe and you give them the person's little drawing and you say, "Which one of these is this most like?" And then they make a judgment and that's how you do that. And so you can do statistics on their judgments. So you get two independent judges and you can compare etc. And then you show the results. And so the results look like people can do this. Not great but like a rate above chance. You know they can do better when they're in a state of unconditional love. So that's interesting. They can do better especially if they're women if they're a little bit anxious. So that's interesting. >> So that just you can learn a few things about it. But sort of my favorite thing about it is that in the more recent work, we've been able to use AI, so LLMs, to do that judging, to take away some of the human bias and to find actually better and bigger effects that we didn't know were there. So, we recently worked with a lucid dreamer who is also an artist, Dave Green in the UK. He he actually asks people, you know, would you like me to do a portrait for you? And then he can lucid dream practically at will. >> Wow. >> And then he dreams the portrait. He asks in his lucid dream. He So here's the person, show me the portrait. And and it imposes over their face the portrait. And then he goes back to sleep. And then the morning he wakes up and sketches it out. And so we thought, well, can we teach him to be a pre-cognitive remote viewer in his lucid dreams? [laughter] And so we did that kind of experiment with him. And the human judges couldn't it was they could not find really much correspondence except for one case which was really striking out of 10 dreams. And so of course good human judges found that case. Good good AI judges found that case. We tried five different models found that same case but also found all these other cases >> and correspondences and then we could do statistics on that. So now we could use that in my work with non-speakers to look at the similarity between how they're describing things telepathically and what the target is and get statistics on that. So it's really been helpful to graduate from uh human judging. >> Yeah. >> To AI judging and that's largely been driven by Damon Abraham on our team who's just >> really involved in understanding the phenomenon at all levels and wants to bring AI into that kind of remote viewing scoring. It's kind of it's uh something else. >> Do you think in terms of academia and I know that that's like that's you know the bad word here but um uh do you think that AI is a deterrent for them to want to uh acknowledge this type of study or do you think it's it favors their interest? Cuz you know you say you know we're eliminating bias. we're eliminating human error by uh getting rid of these judges and having AI uh part of it. But do you see that as being a benefit to the people who are reluctant into looking in this or or or >> well they hate it more? >> They hate it more. >> Yeah. I think um well certainly you're not getting completely rid of human bias because AI has that baked in. >> Yeah. >> You're almost using human bias to do the scoring. >> Sure. >> Uh but you get rid of things like positional bias. >> I see. Because you can give the same AI the two images in an opposite position >> and it doesn't remember that it saw it in the other position. So you could get right >> you could get both. Whereas with a human you'd have to give two different humans. It's a lot of humans. >> Yeah. >> Um will it make people hate it more? I think the people who already hate this stuff will hate it and say, "Oh, well they used AI, right?" And the people who don't will be like, "Cool, they used AI." And the the depth I mean I think we should talk about this. The depth of the bias >> and where it comes from. >> Yes. >> Is really interesting to me because this is what I've been trying to work with for ever. I mean, in in my professional career since I think maybe 1996, I've been trying to work with this and just notice and try to understand what is it really that makes people think this can't be true and upsets me so much and it almost hurts me. Like I've had professors tell me it hurts them for me to feel that that this is the way the universe works. like it hurts their feelings because they appreciate my mind and I have so much to offer blah blah blah. And if only I would just, you know, present the more mainstream side of my work. >> Yeah, that might also reflect just where, you know, they might I'm assuming they're older than you as well. So, you know, when you get to perhaps the later stage of your life, you're a little more reluctant into changing your foundational uh you know, and you and you want everything to be nice and neat before you leave this place, perhaps. >> Maybe. Maybe. Or Yeah, I think that's part of it. I mean, I'm not necessarily like that, but I also have a a high capacity for uncertainty, >> which I think a lot of people don't have. Yeah, you do, too. Yeah. And so we can talk about these things in some kind of a generous way to be generous to the ideas without shutting them down. >> Yes. >> And without latching on to them either. >> Without Yeah. And without latching on to them because who knows? I They're probably all wrong. >> Yeah. >> I mean, we just have these little idiot human minds, you know? Oh, it could be like this, you know? It's just like, okay. Um maybe um we can do experiments, but even the what we perceive from the experiments could be wrong. So, but I keep coming down to there's this basic fear of well there's that the sort of superficial thing about ego like if I'm wrong about the way the universe works then I guess I'm not as smart as I thought I was and I was sort of basing my identity on being smart so there's ego but I think it's more basic in that and I think it speaks to this fear we talked about of losing control with the love feeling. I think it's um sort of I want to call it fear of being subsumed >> like fear of Freud talks about this. Freud was right about a couple things. And one thing I think he was right about is the fear that both men and women have, this is not just a male thing, of the mother bringing her you back into her womb. Like not being separate. >> Like finding out that you're just not separate. >> Yeah. That you're a pinched node and not a detached. >> Yes. >> Yeah. And then what is the implication of that is like >> there's no individuality. >> Yeah. Is like I don't matter. >> But that's not really the implication. That's the ego implication. >> Yeah. That's the ego's belief like oh then I will die. And it's like no actually >> you know if your identity is not that you have to be an individual node but that you're this whole ocean or this whole thing >> like that's awesome. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. there. It's really a matter of uh your own perception of the same thing cuz you know I guess some people would say oh if everything is one and we're all connected then nothing matters. >> Yeah. >> You know then we don't then I don't matter and where my perception would be no you matter as much as everything else. >> Yeah. >> Like we all matter equally. Like that's a great >> to do your job and be be your person like be who you are. But we matter as much as everything. Like this this this matters as much as that and we're all equal. That's amazing. But some people would see that as oh if we're all equal then I don't matter. And and it's just a matter of perception. >> Yeah. It's like which side of the ego are you? >> Exactly. >> Yeah. But it's all ego because there's this attachment to mattering. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. I guess I guess you know the one thing that comforts me in this thought experiment would be well I mean I find it comforting just generally but I think the one thing that provides a little more comfort is the idea that memory however might be retained. You know this seems to be the thing um that we hear is that sure you the loss of individuality might be you know a factor here uh through throughout your your life. You know, you maybe you lose individuality. Okay. But what if memory doesn't go away? What if memory is still retained somehow? >> Yes. >> You know what I mean? Wouldn't that be enough? I think it would. >> To feel like you exist or to feel like you matter? >> Yeah. Or to feel like your experiences mattered? >> Yeah. Is it enough if it's retained? I I don't know the answer to this. I'm so curious what you think. Is it enough if the memory is retained in the whole? >> Yeah. Without your individuality. Like it's hard for us to separate individual memory from our individuality. But I think memory perhaps >> uh exists in a in in this infinite substrate. >> Yeah. >> Right. Where individuality certainly does not uh it's just this body or whatever it is. But the memory does seem to be information. It does seem to be >> well the body would though because that's more information that grows into the body. But there but the import of the body is not there. Yeah. But if so this goes back to your idea of sort of all of us are observers gathering like different eyes gathering data >> and then putting it into the informationational substrate but funnily enough it arrived from the informationational substrate in the first place. So it's extremely circular but also awesome. >> So it's almost like we're building a hologram. >> Yeah. >> Where we have different views of this information >> and making it more real. It's like we're it's this idea of co-creation and coming alive. What are we missing from that? I feel like we're missing as we play with this idea. >> Um I mean we're well I mean we're only talking about the information here. We're not talking about you know what what you were what you were saying prior to this uh to the substrate of love sort of existing around the information. We're just talking about the information being passed on and >> and uh so there is the glue I suppose. Well, so this reminds me of that picture you have on your wall of um >> the Bazaar. >> Bazaars, like the heart-shaped >> Yeah. >> field around the UF. >> Yeah. And so it's like Yeah. If that's basically like the nest. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. That's what we're That's what we're missing. Almost the nest from which this grows, right? >> Yeah. >> Yeah. Like feeding it. >> Or even like um like a Taurus. >> Yeah. more less less like a heart but more like a Taurus where it just keeps coming in. >> How high do you think people think we are? [laughter] >> I mean they might be getting high at this very moment just by listening to us. >> Um >> cuz we're actually not high but I mean like I'm not I think looking at your eyes they're not that dilated. I think you're not high either. >> No defin and and um >> I hope that it's this conversation is followable. I think there's I think there's people >> part of it parts of it might not be as much but >> it's fun. >> Yeah. I guess you could always wonder. I think that there's something that I'm wanting to say which is that there's that it really matters to me anyway and I think it matters to you that different people part of the purpose of podcasting is to bringing is to bring these different people who have the such different views together. It's almost like you're creating that hologram. >> Yeah. >> You know, like that's almost like >> at least mapping it out. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. And I I think it's >> it's a really important metaphor for us as we're moving into the new um the new media. >> Like we often use media as a metaphor of the mind. You know, the mind works like the radio. We used to say, "Oh, the mind works like a computer." I'm wondering if the mind works like a podcast. You know, if that's an even better metaphor. and we're moving [clears throat] into that >> um about that that's that's an interesting thought that I had as well where um you know I've always thought the body as being some type of processing machine right like some processor like you know if information exists non-locally and sort of omnipresently and then we somehow filter suck pull or whatever pluck information out of the substrate and and then apply it to this physical ical reality, right? This is the processor. >> Yeah. >> What is the processor once the body goes away? Because information still exists and we hear stories of people having uh or at least, you know, through near-death experiences or through out-of- body experiences. Uh we hear about them being aware that I'm still here, but my body's there, but I'm here. Well, then you're processing something. >> Where's the processor? So we talk about the body as the processor. It's a processor and a sensor of physical reality. The mind is a processor of the information it's receiving right from physical reality but also of non-physical reality. In other words, like this information. >> So the mind is the process. >> The mind is the processor and it doesn't go away when the body dies is the idea, >> right? And so now it's able to process more directly because it doesn't have that filter and have access to the informationational substrate more directly. >> So the mind is is oh is separate from the information then >> so no I think the information is the mind >> h >> like this informationational substrate. So we got we're moving between individual mind and mind sure >> with a capital M or individual consciousness and consciousness with a capital C. So the informationational substrate itself you could call it the mind of the universe >> because it has all the information from the birth to the death of the universe in this worldview that we're making up. Okay. So that would be like the universal mind. The individual mind, this individual consciousness of which we are aware is the filtered down um access to both that and indirectly through physicality, right? If physicality is born, if this cup, if everything that of our bodies are born out of this mind, this universal mind, then our little little C consciousness is this separate sort of thing that gives us this theater of separation, >> this illusion of separation based on physical reality and whatever filters in whatever leaks in from the informationational substrate. So >> and that ceases when the body goes away. >> That individual mind I think ceases when the body goes away. Well although the the big mind the universal mind would have awareness of oh that body is dead but someone could see a ghost or someone you know what I mean like that that person did exist in physical form. >> Yeah. >> Like we we're so used to thinking of this is I was thinking about this. I was at in this hot tub today and I was looking at the rain come down on the on the water and I was just noticing we're so used to assuming that the universe is random and that there's no meaning for instance to the pattern of the drops on the water that we're not going to look for a message in the pattern of the drops on the water. Like that would be silly and kind of crazy um right now in the way science is thought about. But so when we talk about the ones and zeros, it's easy for people because it's it feels like it has no intention. It has no there's no mind there. It's just ones and zeros. But it kind of feels to me like intention is that love seeping through. Like that's love is an active force. >> Mhm. that seeps through and then that intention is real. It's like the intention of a creator or something >> and it could affect the ones and zeros. >> Well, yeah. And it circles back. We can affect the ones and zeros with our minds. So, it's this >> this co-creative process. >> Yeah. Ones and zeros might just be like a modern divination tool that uh you know, we might pick up on. >> Yeah. Might have been might have been an old bird bones back in the day, but now it's >> more sophisticated >> or whatever >> or less. Yeah, >> they were just the same. >> They were just the same. [laughter] Um, you know, you were talking about the uh the experimentation for uh the pre-cognition. Was that um because I know I there's Daryl Bem as well, Dr. Daryl Bem, who who >> Yeah, he did a bunch of pre-cognition studies. He he did a bunch of them and what I can say about those is the real upshot at a meta analysis that came after him is that the ones that were more replicable were the ones that were unconscious. So they were the ones that were like fast, unconscious, not trying to do things. The slower ones that took more time in between the information and when it was given in the future, they did not replicate as well. >> Okay. >> And so I think that's very telling. None of them were remote viewing. >> No. >> And um there's been a lot of takedowns of his work and that's okay. like I think there were some errors in there and I think it's okay to criticize work and try to do better. What I noticed is that the pre-cognitive remote viewing effects which are big and um I think I think I did pretty good statistics on those. People just don't talk they prefer not to talk about them >> and and it's hard to find them in Google Scholar. Um they're sort of buried somehow. Uh, and so I feel like if you can't take it down, it can get buried. Yeah. >> And that's where we're living right now. So I just like to talk about them because they're there. >> Of course, >> they're real. And we know, we know, and Ed Edme, Dr. Edme, as you call him, talks about this all the time. >> We know that there's a big effect size, especially for gifted remote viewers. >> Yes. And Yeah. and and um sesthesia as well seems to be a factor that was unexpected in measuring what a good remote viewer is when they when they did that initial 600 person yeah >> sort of test to get that 1% down that 1% yeah and and turned out they were all sin I really want to do an experiment where we look at time synesthesia >> because I'm a decent remote viewer and and I notice that I have I mean I know the way that the that the um the week looks and I know the way that the year looks. Like right now we're in July and I know where that is in space and it has since I was a kid it's always been that way. >> Yeah. >> Like a sesthesia using perception of time the calendar. Wo. >> Yeah. So it goes like January, February, March, April, May, June, and then you turn a corner, you start going down. >> Okay. So it's not like looking at a calendar and seeing like >> No, no, no. Then it goes to September and then now you're going this other direction. You go to December and there's this big gap between December and January. So like the years are really clear to me because there's all this space here. >> Are you do you have synthesia in any other form or is that >> I do with um numbers and personalities like each number has a personality uh up to about 25. >> What's what's an example? 13. >> I get a lot of gritty >> gritty and 11 and male. 11 also male but kind. Huh. >> Generous. >> Interesting. It's very interesting. I mean, that could be, >> you know, has that ever served you in your life? >> Well, when I was born, >> like instinctively like when you Yeah. Yeah. Like >> or but I mean more so in perhaps like relationships or >> meeting someone and >> Well, if I hear that [laughter] if I hear that they're born in a certain month, it might be a little bit >> biased. >> Yeah. Against or for them. >> And and is and is that proven itself to be the case? >> No. No. No. That's just my own little crazy. Your own little That's my crazy. >> Yeah. Okay. >> Yeah. Yeah. But it's um it does help me remember like >> I can remember my hotel room or phone numbers or things cuz it's like well that number what's that doing with that number? And then >> it's a natural pneummonic. >> Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. >> So yeah. >> Um >> but I would love to find out if other precognitive remote viewers tend to be uh temporal sinthets. >> That's the first time I've ever heard that term. That's a really interesting a really interesting thing because senesthesia itself is interesting >> in terms of because it it does seem >> it it's really easy to categorize people who are neurode divergent in today's by today's standards because and not there's a spectrum of neurode diverency but I mean those on the extreme sides of the spectrum it's very easy to be like oh this person's clearly autistic or whatever you know what I mean but like sesthesia is more subtle because it seems to really pop up. You don't have to be um overtly neurode divergent to to have synthesia. And yet those people seem to be really in tune with uh this remote viewing stuff. And so >> yeah, it's really interesting. The there there was a really cool sesthesia story in my post posttock lab. I worked at Northwestern and um in cognitive neuroscience in for my postoc and I was doing EEG and I was helping out with another experiment that was looking at um these like body lights on the body you know what they call them like body lights if you can you how much how many lights do you need to detect movement you know they use those lights in like animation I see >> they put it on the joints and so how many of those need do you need to correctly figure out the movement so that was the experiment so I was helping out. It wasn't my experiment, but I got to be there when this one participant comes in. And she's like, "All right, yeah, I see the lights and you want me to respond about the movement, but can you turn off the music?" >> Oh, wow. >> And we're like, "There's no music." And she's like, "You know, no, I mean, just turn off the can you just turn it down?" You know, and we're like, "What are you talking about?" And it turns out, and she didn't know this before, but that with those lights, she gets music >> that particular frequency of light. >> Yeah. She's like, "It's going >> [laughter] >> This is so cool. So yeah, I think this this um this way of integrating information, it's it's almost like the filter has failed a little bit, >> right? And it's just letting more information through and your body's dealing with it in this way and your mind is dealing with it >> and that's like sudden savant syndrome or that's also like these these these non-verbal children who are >> maybe that's like that >> there's like a glitch in the in the physical brain that allows you know more information to leak through. I think so. I think because I've been working with um the telepathy tapes folks. I'm in their documentary because I have this amazing team working with Jeff Terren and Maria Welch and Natalia man and Damon Abraham and Paulie Washburn and we're we're really trying to understand not just this telepathy thing but also just what is the waking daily experience of a non-speaking autistic person and it is wild. I mean it's very different but I keep coming across this sort of sense that that their right hemispheres are unfettered that their right hemisphere where you're doing intuition you're doing creativity you're doing music you're doing emotional social connection um is just not suppressed as in a regular in a normal person whereas their left hemisphere clearly there's something going on there because they can't speak and you Generally we think of speech in the left hemisphere. So there's something going on with a different kind of wiring in the left hemisphere the current hypothesis of mine that is and probably other people's that is also making the right hemisphere unsuppressed and that's kind of supported by this work by Morris Freeman this guy at Bayrust that I think I mentioned early on. Do you know about his work? >> No. >> Yeah. So he's a neurologist and he starts to have this experience that maybe some of his patients can do psychic stuff and there are patients who have left frontal hemisphere lesions. And so he designs this experiment where he asks people to move an arrow on a computer screen with their minds and he asks his patients to do it. And it's he finds this directional effect where the ones with the left frontal hemisphere lesions. So just background front of the left lobe is actually suppressing the right hemisphere the front of the right hemisphere. So if you have a lesion there which means maybe you had a stroke there or something happened those cells are dead. >> That inhibitor is no longer there. >> That inhibitor is no longer there. It's releasing the right frontal. So they're able to do this you know better than controls. In other words, statistically significantly better controls at the direction that makes sense for the left frontal. >> So then he repeats it in a different experiment >> and he uses transcranial magnetic stimulation to suppress to to reversibly suppress the left frontal activity to release the right hemisphere. He finds the same thing. So that's very interesting. So yeah, I kind of think that's a little bit of what's going on there. >> Like there's a physical anomaly. >> There's a physical anomaly that's making the right frontal lobe unsuppressed. And so that stuff is coming through. >> And so that being said, then there is a way where you can induce this. >> Apparently you can use reversible TMS, although that's a little bit scary to me. >> Sure. Yeah. I mean scare. As soon as you mess with the brain, it's very scary. >> Yeah. But like hypothetically, you could you could induce these these things. Is that something you think that they were attempting to do through like the gate program? And and >> I knew you were going to ask that. Yeah. Right. It's obvious question. Um I >> It's funny because I've been vehemently against doing myself any experiments about stimulation, including transcranial direct uh current stimulation, which is much lighter. >> Yeah. >> It's more like a 9volt battery kind of thing. Um, and then lately I started getting interested in it, but I haven't done it. Um, >> but >> if I were if I were I mean they knew that if I was a government official who was charged with this and was a neuroscientist, I would I'd be like, "Yeah, let's try that." >> I mean, it seems obvious. >> It does seem obvious. >> And that you hear about that too a little bit, right? the um >> cuz there is there is >> well the like merciful Martin Jordan Jose yeah >> there's there seems to be two opposing ends of this of of a way to interact with the substrate and on one end the end that that you speak of which is this loving intention this calming of the mind this like but then on the other side there seems to be like this opposite way of inducing similar effects through trauma and is >> is that because it I >> I agree. I just give a big sigh. >> Yeah. But it does seem like both of them, it seems at least to me, like both of them have valid outcomes, although you know, one is preferable and probably takes longer is the love one and probably takes more nurturing where the other one is like we can get instant access if we just like prod and poke this person um and hurt them and and sort of uh and and you know >> this is devastating. So this is this is the way people have I believe been thinking. Yes, I think you we I think you can get people to dissociate from their bodies if your goal is to get them out of their body and to go get information uh assuming the consciousness can float around like that, which I think we all kind of at this point we think that may happen. Um it's kind of like when people say um so it really works, you know, we know that abusing your child is bad, but it really works to make them stop their behavior. Like if you hit your child um that it's really true that they will probably stop doing the behavior that makes you hit them. Like yes, you're treating them like a dog. They will learn like a dog. Like that that is true and it's efficient. Um and the long-term impact of that is to often ruin people's lives. >> Yeah. >> So now they're no longer efficient at anything. and the behavior that you were trying to shape is um probably trying to make them what you believe to be a better person, but it's hard for them to do that. And I think the same thing goes here. It's like, yeah, so for this one moment, you got what you wanted. And if you're really trying to make someone who um can help you in the future and doesn't crack up or go nuts or you know eat themselves alive with some amuno uh what do you call it? Autoimmune disease or something um you've failed because it really doesn't take that long to put people into a state of unconditional love and yourself. >> Mh. But what happens is this trauma is passed down. The people that get to do these things have been traumatized for themselves. It's it's generational. And so those are the people who are going to be motivated to do it and they're going to cause the trauma. Then they're going to create people who cause the trauma. And so it's devastating. I really I don't know any details about this except for what's talked about among survivors. And um but that's enough for me to say like we're going to have to look at a different way. I feel the same way about the polygraph. I feel like it's a tool of trauma that is passed down in the intelligence community like a hazing uh tool that people don't realize is um doing damage while it's also being not very effective at what it's supposed to do. Um >> how so? >> Well, it's not effective at >> Well, how is it damaging? >> How is it doing damage? Well, because people it's it's screening for sociopathy. >> So, it's like if you're really good at just saying yes, no when people accuse you of things. So, in the polygraph process, someone's using these tools, but they're also doing theater, right? This is all public information. They're all doing theater to say, "Oh, no. Well, why did you put that on your forum if you did this or, oh, you must lie to people or whatever." They're accusing you of things to try to see how you react. >> I see. is like stress inoculation at the same time. >> Yeah. But it doesn't but either if someone's if someone has no problem with that and they can lie because you kind of have to lie to get through that because you're basically saying, "Okay, I never lie." Which is not true. No one never lies. Right. >> Yeah. >> So if you're able to do that without any level of stress, you're probably on the sociopathy spectrum, right? So now you're through that. Subconsciously, some part of you has been essentially tortured and you're just going to ignore that and say, "Well, that's what I have to do for my work, etc." But it comes up later like a flower and [laughter] and you can have insider threat and you can have um people who don't know why they're feeling frustrated at their employer, but they are and they're going to maybe be able to be, >> you know, turned in some kind of way. So, to me, >> it's going to fester. >> It's going to fester. there's a wound that's going to fester. >> So, um, how would you reconcile then, you know, the ability to access this substrate information through trauma with your theory of having it be accessible through love? >> Well, um, you can do both. >> So, you have access to it through both. I think you have access to it through both because because if you go out of your body like to dissociate then you are more aware that you are you know not the body and then you can have access to the informationational substrate but also I think you can do both because the universe is compassionate. >> I see. So it's like if the universe is aware or this informationational substrate is aware in some kind of way. I think of this as God like is a is aware then it's like I'm compassionately going to >> grant access >> grant access. And many many people who've had those disassociative experiences can access states of unconditional love because it's healing because it's where you can go. It's like it's the difference between it's it's a very short leap between disassociation and self-trcendence. And self-trcendence can be this amazing feeling of like I'm helping this thing bigger than myself. I am, you know, I'm in a state of universal love and none of this matters and I'm doing this thing. Kind of like that dream I had where I'm like, yes, I can do this thing. I can, you know, go rise through the ceiling and I can, >> right? And then I look back and I go, "Oh, but I'm doing it for this person who's not okay." That >> that is exactly that. And so what we need to ask ourselves is when if you can get this from unconditional love and you can get this from inducing trauma, what is what is going to help us in the long run better? >> Sure. [laughter] Yeah. Yeah. And and yeah, as I as I listen to you, I also realize that, you know, this is happening not due to the trauma, but due to the traumas creating dissociation from the trauma. >> Yes. This is this is >> you're dissociating from the trauma in order to have access. >> Right. Exactly. >> Not because of the trauma. >> It's the healing of the trauma. And so you could just cut out the trauma part and just do the healing part because everyone can feel healed with unconditional love. You can still get there. interesting. This is very interesting, stimulating conversation and all all all of which I'm I'm looking forward to. Uh this this is one of those things like when I went to contact in the desert, I had this happen to me as well where uh even my buddy Michael Phillip, he asked me towards the end, we had a little interview thing and he he talked to me and said, "So where you where have you landed with all of this?" You know, and this is after I spent I don't know. I It's weird because in these places you're having these existential conversations with complete strangers in the most liinal transient like hallways and and they're just, "Hey, what do you think about death?" And you're like, "Blah." And then you go, "Okay, I got to go get a sandwich." And then you turn here and then someone else is like, "I think aliens are this." And you're like, "All right, let's go there." And and you're having just a multitude of like the craziest conversations where like my hard drive felt like it was overheating. Yeah, it's like the mundane and the completely etheric and everything all together. >> And it's all of this and so many different paths from so many different people. And by the end of it, I I literally felt like my my hard drive was like it's so so full. >> Yeah. >> And I told Michael, and this is the same feeling I'm having right now. I said, I don't know where I stand with any of this, but I look forward to 2 3 days from now. like like a workout at the gym, you know, where you get sore the next day and you just can't move. I look forward to two three days once I've recovered from this conversation in a positive way. Um to then feeling stronger >> um in in my mind and and and being more like I I guarantee you I'm going to have so many better questions and so many better connections to be made because of this conversation. >> Same. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. This is really fun for me to have a thinking partner in this and the willingness to just zip around. >> Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. Yeah. I hope we I hope we were cogent to some extent here for for the audience. >> No idea. I have no idea if that's the situation. >> Yeah. Um I do want to bring up some questions from the audience because uh and this is you know normally we get I don't know between 10 and 20 qu I think 50 people within a matter of an hour. >> Oh cool. were asking questions and they were and m and multiple questions and so I had to pick a bunch. Normally I just pick three, but I picked like maybe half a dozen >> because they were all so interesting. So I'd like to bring a few of those up. >> That's great. >> Okay. Would you like to take a break before we do that? >> Yeah. Yeah. I'm looking for more um >> Yep. Right. >> All right. I only have >> Do you have any um contact experiences? >> No. No. other than, you know, seeing some things in the sky. >> Yeah. >> And then that one time throughout the out of- body experience, hearing a female voice. >> Oh, so that wasn't an actual person that was in the house. >> No, no, no. >> Oh, that wasn't clear. I didn't know. >> Yeah. Yeah. It was uh And it was an indistinct voice. I've never heard it, but it was stern. It felt very stern. Like uh >> Put back on your body. It it it so I was trying to go through the window and I couldn't get my hand through the window like they taught me at Monroe. Yeah. >> And then I went to go open the window in the out of body state. >> And then as I was leaping out halfway through I hear right here this female voice go, "What are you doing?" >> Oh. >> And I went I shuddered like I my I froze. I I remember tensing up like this and going >> Yeah. And then like looking at my body and just I didn't want to look where that was coming from cuz it scared me. I >> you feel like you're in a place where you don't belong instantly. You feel like I'm not supposed to be here. >> But you didn't before that voice. >> Yeah, I did. >> You did. Even before that voice. >> Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'm instantly. >> You felt like you were sneaking around a little >> instantly. As soon as you cuz like when this happens, when the out of body happens, your physical body's here. This is happened for me and some other people as well. describe this, but like this is I'm inside my body and I'm like this. >> Mhm. >> Now I'm like free floating inside my physical body. >> Yeah. >> Where I'm like, oh, I could just like I'm >> going to lie. I'm not bound. I'm not I'm like unbound to my body. And you feel that. >> Wow. >> And so that's what makes you want to just get out >> and just play around >> because you're >> because you can. >> Why am I just lying here if I'm not attached to my body? And you just kind of like you can just sit up, right? And so I get out, but as soon as you're out, you realize there is this tone, at least for me, like a like the entire time, and it's very ominous, like almost dreadful, like like for me >> because you feel like you're in the upside down. You feel like, oh, this is not my room. >> Yeah. >> Um this is a projection of of my memory of my room, >> but you're not in your room. This is this is a different place that you're not supposed to be here. Uh, this isn't this isn't a dream. This isn't your room. This isn't reality. This is a different place. You're in a different place where there's there could be other things here. Yeah. >> And you know that instantly. Instantly I know that I am not alone in this world. >> Yeah. >> And I don't know if they're here. I don't know what. I don't want to see them. I don't want to talk to anybody. I just want I wanted one foot in front of the other. And I'm literally just like moving looking here. Blinders. I'm like I don't want to look at anything else, >> right? >> In case. And then as I go I hear this voice like, "All right, back in bed." And yeah, instantly up. >> And yeah, all of that for me was really trippy because it happened during a waking state. There was wasn't one millisecond where I fell asleep. And I I looked at the time when I put my headphones down was 6:30. It was 6:30. Uh 6:30 and it was like 6:32. Like it was >> every second was accounted for. >> Yeah. >> Um >> when you came back in your body, >> do you feel like anything else was there? Do you feel like you did you feel safe back in your body? >> Yeah. I never for once uh felt like that could have happened. I also feel like I don't know but I feel like when you have an out-of- body experience we call it an out of body experience. I don't know that that's what's happening. >> Mhm. >> Um we call it that because we can see our body and see our room and wander around. But as even Robert Monroe talks about and as I I've experienced, it's not your room. >> Yeah. It's like an 80%. It's your memory of your room. >> Yeah. >> So, who says that you're out of body at all, first of all? >> Right. You could be your your brain literally has a construction of where your body is in space and what your room looks like and you could be wandering around in there. Correct. >> So, it could be giving you weird feelings >> or billocating. >> Yeah. Right. >> You know, who who says I can't be in and out of my body at the same time. >> Right. And also I mean I get that and that's why this thing about getting veritical information like looking in the envelope ends up being important but it's not important because you can literally just remote view while you're having an out-of- body experience if you're gifted at it. So it doesn't actually >> prove that you've left your body. No. Exactly. So that's that's where I'm like I don't really >> I don't know what I'm experiencing when they say out of body. I think it's the easiest thing to say cuz that's what it feels like. >> Well, and there's certain uh like neurological disorders that will give you that experience, >> right? >> Yeah. And so like and and even it reminds me of my dad's wife who has Alzheimer's and um she came home after after getting surgery to her room and she said, "This looks just like my bedroom, >> but I know it's not." And I just wonder how much of that the dementia processes, >> right, >> are similar to like losing the tether >> to spaceime or >> spaceime or to being in your body. >> Yeah. >> Just that that because the the brain is being impacted in this way that constructs these things. We forget that they're all constructed. >> Yeah. >> And so it's a reminder that all this is constructed >> and you need an anchor. >> Yeah. >> You need some type of uh anchor to anchor you into that moment. Yeah. >> And if that anchor, whether that's space or time or the illusion of of where you are, >> if that anchor isn't there, then you're just kind of like, this feels familiar, but it's not. >> Yeah. >> Wow. >> Yeah. So, I don't know that that's what anybody's experiencing. And that's why I don't have a fear of like somebody else taking over my body because I don't fully think I'm even out of my body. >> Right. That makes sense. >> But I do feel like this is a non-physical reality that I'm currently experiencing. I just don't know that it's separate and I don't know that I'm not in both. Right. >> At the same time, like perhaps part of my consciousness is projecting >> uh this, you know, simulation of of a reality that I'm in now and the other part of the consciousness is well intact in my body. >> Yeah. >> You know, I I don't know. >> Yeah. >> When you look down at your body, though. >> Yeah. >> Does it look like you're >> it? You you you don't recognize yourself be Well, I at least I don't because like when have you ever seen yourself with your eyes closed? >> Yeah. No, I My husband takes a picture of me. >> Right. Exactly. But you look different. Yeah. >> So you look at yourself like is that me? Like like it really is like it feels like is that a stranger? Like and then you get the realization that it's you but you're just not familiar with >> So the body doesn't look dead or >> No. No. It and it's um it's not entirely in detail. Like it's a little fuzzy too like just because of everything I guess. But >> yeah, >> I think what I heard was the more you go out of body, the clearer it gets. Like you upgrade to like the HD version of it like if you've done it enough. Um so I had the very low res version. >> Wow. for my first few experiences. >> I wonder who that woman was. If that was like your mother or >> No, it didn't sound like my mother. It didn't It uh No, it was >> It didn't sound like anyone. >> No, not >> Was it human? >> Yeah. Well, sounded like a human woman. >> Yeah. >> Uh but like stern. >> Yeah. >> Is the only way I can put it. Not I didn't feel like >> Maybe it was me. [laughter] >> Maybe. >> Get back on your body. What are you doing? >> It was like It was like what are you doing? Like it it sounded like what do you think you're doing? Yeah, >> like is what the feeling I got was and I was just like I'm not going to even answer that. >> Yeah. >> And it was it was funny too. I don't even know if I mentioned this in the video, but when I went to the window, beside the window, there was a rosary. >> I don't have a rosary in my house. >> Yeah. >> That's interesting. >> Yeah. Beside the window. And so that but that was one of the things where I was like, "Oh, this is not my room." >> Or it could have been some weird space-time journey. >> Yep. Exactly. Or some projection of my subconscious or something. Yeah. So, >> oh, there's these amazing ghost stories about ghosts who meet each other from different times. >> Oh, yeah. Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. Who knows? Um, you know, and and all of the above might be true >> at the same time. >> All very [clears throat] difficult to test, but super interesting. >> Yeah. Very interesting. >> Okay, we got questions. >> Yes, we got these questions here that I will pull up. Um, we're just going to start anywhere here. >> Oh, I like this one a lot from JKP. Oh, cool. >> How important is synchronization? So, maybe synchronicity in this field of research. >> Um, I'm taking it in a different way. Not synchronicity, but synchronization like between people or synchronization of different parts of the brain >> or like oscillations, you know, coherent oscillations in different parts of the brain. Are you thinking synchronicity? I was but I'm happy to happy to go that down that road as well. >> Yeah. So I think synchronicity is our experience of synchronization. So when we're something synchronized whether it's our brain waves are synchronized with each other um within our mind or within our brains or within my brain and your brain or our movements are synchronized. Our blinks are like when we're looking at each other right now our blinks are getting synchronized. Our respirations are getting synchronized. Our movements we're both nodding our heads. It's just unconscious stuff that helps us connect, right? Um, then I think more synchronicities happen. So I think that is it's almost like when we were talking about theformational substrate coming up and showing us through our individuation that once again we are connected. It's like when we synchronize it's the synchronicities that show us that we're connected are going to come up. So I think it's important but it also doesn't need to be bothered with like unless you really want to study synchronization and which is amazing and there's wonderful people who do that it's just going to happen >> right >> and so yeah so I just sort of like go straight to the next step but everyone has their point at which they're most interested in looking >> do you feel more synchronicity um in a certain area of your work or a certain area of your life? If do you feel like synchronicity or synchronization has ramped itself up uh apparently uh during certain times or or adversely maybe a lack of synchronization when things weren't going well. Is that ever? >> Yes. >> Yeah. [laughter] Yeah. >> Yes. I mean when I when I talk about when anyone talks about being in the flow and and in my own personal experience of being in the flow, it's this um it's this is a synchrony between myself and myself. So everything has integrity in the moment. Uh it's a synchronous synchronousness or synchronization between myself and someone else. When I'm working with the team members, I'm really interested in how teams work well. And synchronizing between teams doesn't mean everyone's doing marching the same time that not that at all. It's more like the person who's really gifted at X. So like on your podcast team, the person who's really gifted at video editing and the person who's really gifted at dealing with the guest and the person who's really gifted at figuring out what is going to be a stupid topic and a great topic. synchronization there. Obviously, you can't do the same thing. Your tasks are different, but there's a feeling of right action at the right time that occurs when a team is buzzing along, >> right? And so, yeah, in that case, u synchronicity would or synchronization would be more frequent when things are going well obviously. >> Yeah. And then synchronicities would occur and synchronicity is here defined in the Yian sense of >> Yeah. things that seem to appear completely disconnected but end up having great meaning when put together. >> Yeah, exactly. >> A coincidence with a lot of meaning. Um yeah, because I I often I have certain synchronicity engines in my life. Yeah. >> That I purposely uh insert. >> Um >> like what? >> Um so I have one which is just an app and it's an app that sends me a new word every hour that I want to learn. It's just random words, but the words are like words that you normally wouldn't use in conversation that are quite, you know, maybe complex or maybe very specific words. >> What's the most recent word? >> I [snorts] can check right now. >> We'll find out if there's a synchronicity. >> Yeah. Uh, bombastic, [laughter] excessively confident and pompous. >> Oh, am I like that? >> No, I I wouldn't say so at all. Um, but these are these are the type of things that I'll get on the hour and not always, but I'll get a notification. I don't have very many notifications, but that one's on. >> Yeah. >> And so sometimes in the throws of a conversation, I'll get a notification. I'll just glance at my phone to see what the word is. >> Yeah. >> And sometimes it'll be very synchronous to what we're what we're talking about. And I've learned that if I follow up on that >> Yeah. >> in terms of my attitude or my decision- making. >> Yeah. at least personally that it uh it always favors like um a more I guess I favor whimsy in my life generally >> and so when something whimsical like a synchronicity pops up I tend to alter my course to favor the synchronicity. >> Yeah, me too. >> I say that it's not an absolute but >> so I have a built-in thing like that. I made and made it for other people too. I do this um biblommancy, you know. Oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah, >> but then I made I took my book and I asked my friend Paulie Washburn to make code for my website where it could turn my book into an oracle. So you put in your question, it ignores the question completely and just randomly chooses a number of sentences from the book and and strings them together. And it's so ridiculously for me >> sometimes insightful >> like always like and I don't know if that's because I wrote the book and these are my words coming back to me but it's just shocking but then other people are trying it and anyway um >> that's why I have that that book wall that you saw over there. >> Yes. Biblomancy. >> So I uh when filming um B-roll Yeah. >> Uh for an episode or whatever like we we've been playing around with like just filming and like you'll come across the word you were looking for. >> Yeah. That's fantastic. >> Like Yeah. Yeah. So that's so but to me that's just a demonstration of thisformational substrate saying you know >> hi there free sample. >> Yeah. Exactly. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. And I also have found that if I stop seeing synchronization uh it's it's a a subtle signal for me to maybe change course as well. >> Yeah. >> Um so if I if I stop seeing it like if I'm everything synchronous and all of a sudden things aren't synchronizing >> like what's happening? Can we get back? >> Yeah. Exactly. And I'm looking at my I'm looking at my clock and it's 11:12. >> Yeah. and I go, "Well, yeah, that was a minute off there. Something's off." You know, and I'll just I'll take it lightly. I won't make, you know, great life decisions based on these things. But subtly, I will perhaps, you know, steer the course a little bit and until it picks up again. >> Might also be psychosis, but uh I I tend to favor whimsy. >> Yeah. Whimsy and psychosis, I think. So, the problem is that they seem similar, but psychosis is really a negative experience. >> Absolutely. Yeah. >> Whimsy is a positive experience. Definitely. Yes. >> All right, let's go here. Great question, JKP. Thank you. >> This is a doozy. >> I love this thing. >> This is great, right? >> It's like the universe revealing itself. This is so cool. >> This is from Tess. Great question. What is your functional understanding of the fourth dimension? This might be where we use the the pad if you need it, but um yeah. Well, the fourth dimension in physics is just supposed to be time. Um, it doesn't behave like the other dimensions if if you're some physicists because you're not only supposed to be able to go in one direction. If you're other physicists, you don't care about that and it's time reversal because reversible because most physics equations are time reversible. So, it's just orthogonal, which means it's not on the same going in the same direction as the other three dimensions of space. So, that's sort of the classical fourth dimension. Um, I bet you're Oh, I bet you're also asking, does the fourth dimension unfold the three dimensions of space? Um, in other words, is the reason why I don't know why I think you're asking this. It's just a psychic test. I'm sorry if that's wrong, but we don't know why it should seem like you could only go in one direction in the fourth. That just behaves very differently from the other dimensions of space. You know, I can go to the left or the right. I can go up or down, but then there's this one dimension that's like you can't go in this one direction, but you can go in the other and it and you're kind of like only at certain times and only at a certain speed. It just seems kind of wonky like it's not a real dimension or it doesn't behave in the same way. So, one explanation is that if you're a spatialist, you might think time is really just some kind of folded spatial dimension, but I'm kind of a temporal person. So, I think the whole thing came up from time and it's not the fourth dimension at all. And what created these dimensions is time. And so, like time is one of these foundational pieces. >> Time is what created the physical reality. Well, informationational substrate created physical reality, >> but the physical reality >> the physical reality includes spaceime. >> Yeah. >> And includes matter and energy, right? And so informationational substrate. It's almost like there's layers and space of spaceime. Time was the first created >> and then created space. >> So the fourth dimension would be perhaps the absence of time. >> Oh, that's cool. Sure. I was thinking the fourth dimension would be um like information >> which is also not beholden. >> Yes. Which plays by different rules. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. And and then maybe a fifth dimension would be time. It depends on how you want to think about what dimensions mean. So really I think the question is how do dimensions work? And I think there's a like the string theory people really think differently than the standard physics people. The way I think of it is dimensions are only useful to think about with space because literally dimension >> is [clears throat] about space. And so when you start talking about dimensions that aren't space like information or um time, I think it's better to talk about them as geometry like this is really like a geometry um because it has these particular rules or these particular angles. So I guess the answer to real answer to your question is my functional understanding of the fourth dimension is not very good. [laughter] >> Fair enough. All right, we got a question here from Slug. >> Excellent. >> Yeah, >> I saw Slug today. >> That is his real name. Um, [laughter] >> you know this? >> No, he's it's just an actual slug asking a question. >> If you had a$100 million tomorrow, which venture gets it and why? [laughter] >> A slug. >> Interesting existential question from a slug. >> I would take that 100 million and put it into my own company. two actually my two companies so American electronamics my startup that is trying to make thisformational essentially time machine um and then half of it and then the other half into my nonprofit applied love labs which is trying to build technology to help people experience unconditional love and use that to get beyond um beyond our limitations and move towards human potential. >> I'm very interested in this. What's what's the the proposed technology that allows that to happen? >> Unconditional love or time travel. >> Unconditional love. >> Yeah, obviously the time travel one. That's easy. >> Yeah. Yeah. We've gotten past that already. I think we solved that during this podcast. >> Yeah. Okay. Um unconditional love. Yeah. So, we started at like in uh 2019. And I started this nonprofit because I was having this experience of remembering what it was like for me as a kid in this really rough household where I had these very loving parents. Like unconditional love was present. I could feel it almost like a force. But there was so much dysfunction. There was abuse. There's neglect and mental illness going on. And um there my my father had uh obsessivempulsive disorder. And I'm not going to go into too depth for anyone who might have been traumatized in this particular way, but he would um every night he would do this particular he would act out a ritual on myself and my sister um that didn't on the face of it seem sexual, but it did sort of seem sexual. Um and that was hard cuz I was helpless and I really worked on not dissociating. And one of the things I remember experiencing was that there was a rocking chair near my bed. It wasn't even a real rocking chair, but in my mind's eye, it was a real rocking chair. And um there was this woman in her like 40s or 50s with dark hair who was telling me it's okay to be angry. He doesn't know what he's doing. He's not um in his right mind, you know, and but it's fine to be angry. and someday you're going to thrive and and you're actually going to be like more than okay. And it was a really loving thing. And I realized later when I was in my 40s and went through therapy that um my 30s and 40s and went through therapy and then my therapist had me do like a little time travel narrative we call it in the therapy world um and had me go back and hold my hand and talk to myself. I realized that that was me in the chair. And I and at that point at then I couldn't remember if I actually did for real have this experience as a child or if it was fabricated from the therapy. And I didn't care because it was incredibly healing this experience of connecting across time with myself. And I was like I'm connecting with love across time. I want to create an organization that's going to help people do this because I know it's powerful and I want to scale it. So, I got a grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, which is a big health foundation, to create a technology that would help people do this and to measure whether it was helpful. And we did. We call it Time Machine. You can go to it at timeachine.lo. It's very simple. It's something that you could code up now in like a day on Claude, but it took a while back in the day. And um we showed that if people worked at it for we had them do it for 10 days um they the people who had early childhood trauma that was severe >> improved to the point of people who didn't have early childhood trauma in terms of their overall well-being. >> So they really benefited. They everyone improved but the people who were much worse off at the beginning >> uh just did a lot better. So um so it really worked. So then I'm like, all right, what other technologies can we build to help people like get in love with themselves to bring this bubble of love around themselves and others, you know, because this is healing. >> Like this is actually in my worldview what everyone from the biggest billionaires to the person on the street who's trying to get their next, you know, heroin hit, everyone's looking for love. And in fact, I mention heroin hit advisedly. There's a really great study out about universal love showing that when people uh when they had introduced people to universal love and had them do these universal love meditations who were opio opioid addicts, they were less likely to reuse. I mean there's something about love as a healing a real healing tool. So scaling that. >> So what other technologies can we use? So we we created a technology where you just look at someone's eyes without any with with an unconditional love meditation but you can't speak to them. It's a stranger you've never met before. We want to give it to like Israelis and Gazins. Um we want to give it to um red states and blue states. I mean it just it's a way of just not knowing who that person is and learning how to wrap both of you in this loving state. So it goes on like that. There's a technology I can't talk about that we're developing with with a group called the micelorium. They take ideas and they turn them into technologies that can help people. It's very cool. >> Very cool. That sounds very interesting. And and uh also when I was at Monroe, there was a brief talk because they they'd also mentioned something uh along the lines of, you know, meditating on your past trauma, going back uh healing yourself. Um, one thing they would do is have you go back to this like whether it's traumatic or whether it was just an event you would rather have a different outcome to and live the different outcome. >> Yeah. >> Like completely like make the other decision. Yeah. >> So you made this decision. Okay. Go back and make the other one and play it out. >> Yeah. >> And you do that and and from that you would feel better. >> Yes. >> And and it it isn't you know you could you could also say that well that's delusional. We're like okay but I feel better. >> Yeah. That's the thing. >> Who cares? It's been the past. >> It really matters how people feel. And so we've been in this behaviorist tradition that says that doesn't matter. Only things that are, you know, apparent on the outside. >> Here take some medicine. >> Yeah. Here's takes that that we can see on the outside. And it's just like, no, actually it really matters how people feel. And so when you you do a study where people are doing self-report and people say, "Oh, it's just self-report." It's like, if the question is, "How do you feel?" >> Yeah. >> People are really honest, >> of course, [laughter] >> because they want to know if this is helping. So yes, uh the Israeli um defense forces were actually the ones who who I think launched this idea. They called it back to the future therapy or something. And they found that it really helps PTSD to go back with all you know now cuz you survived the PTSD cuz you're in therapy for it. So with all you know now go back to the trauma >> and sit with yourself and give yourself idea you know an idea about what to do and like let yourself know you're not alone and then do it in the opposite direction. Go back and be the one who's alone and is having the traumatic experience and notice that this future person is there to help you and go take their advice. So it's just super powerful. >> Very healing. >> Yeah. >> Cool. Love it. >> Yeah. And thanks by the way, slug for that 100 million. I will totally appreciate that when that shows up. >> I just have this visual of this slug just going. >> Yep. >> You're welcome. >> We're good. >> We got actually um you know, Slugs got another question here which is really good, but we'll bring that up in a second here. Um this is a really really good question by spicy pineapple. again. >> Is this like a >> If you need a visual, it's just a really spicy pineapple who's got a burning question. America, China, and Russia all ended their public sai research in the '9s. Why do you think that is? >> Oh, um, well, that's >> was a coincidence. [laughter] [gasps] >> [sighs] >> There's um yeah, let me think about the right way to answer this when it comes to what I really believe. I want to be really what I really believe is that there was kind of an like they all those countries are watching each other and at the time I heard a story I think it was from Ed May but maybe it was from Joe about the Russians in the '9s saying you know you k to America you killed all your psychics like referring to Pat Price and maybe others and sort of as a as a dig like what what are you guys thinking? But I think that that's I think that was just a dig. I I think that um I think when you realize something's really real and and you realize how valuable it is, >> there's this habit because we live in the world we live in which likes to think that it's a good idea to divide things up. this habit of like circling the wagons, taking your treasure and pulling it in >> and we're going to hold on to this treasure and we're going to develop it in our way and we're not going to tell you about the way that we're developing it. >> So, we're going to declassify >> what we've done because now we kind of get what's >> really valuable >> or at least part of what we've done. >> Well, yeah, we we'll declassify part of what we've done. But there's some really we should talk about some really interesting things in that. But um and then we're going to sort of develop it in our own way because maybe we're going to catch on to something that's very different. So I think it was a recognition this is really real. It's not a game anymore. It's not just something that we could kind of pretend about. This is about this is fundamental to the nature of reality >> and it all happened simultaneously. >> Yeah. It's like oh we it's just the same seems to me with UFOs. It's like oh I see you're now going through a disclosure process. Okay. Maybe we'll do the disclosure. You know, it's just >> the all playing the the game. >> Yeah. The funny thing about this interdependent world is it's really the case that from a high level view, these countries have to look at each other and we're all dealing with the same planet and the same people. So, we have to look at each other and say, "Okay, is it really in our best interest to do this now if you're doing that?" >> Yeah. >> So, it makes sense to me. >> They're hiding their psychic stuff. Let's hide our psychic stuff. >> Yeah. Maybe there were maybe and and then also the other part of it is maybe I don't say this with any particular knowledge but it's just sort of a guess about human nature and also I know a little about the intelligence community from from my friend Carmen who I do this show with pandas playing cello >> um and some other people there's also a feeling of like maybe then they won't know how stupid we are like maybe they caught on to something >> right >> did you see Arrival the movie >> yeah of course I've seen it multiple times >> I love that movie so at that moment when they think, "Oh, no, they figured out, then everyone shuts down." >> Yeah. >> And so it could also just be like, "We don't want them to know how stupid we are. >> They figured something out." And they could have just been bluffing. >> We We don't want them to know that we didn't figure it out. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. Uh it's a really interesting take. That movie is great, by the way. There's um I I remember last time I watched I picked up on >> Do you remember at the end when she's getting all the visions? >> Yeah. >> Of like, "Oh my god." You know, and but there's one vision there where the child, the daughter, she draws because you remember the canary. >> Yeah. >> The canary in the cage. >> That's right. >> And they kept bringing the canary up. And that that's where I realized, oh, the child is the canary. >> Yeah. >> The child is the canary. >> The child had to die. Had to die for them to know what to do. Like >> I was like, oh my god. >> Yeah. When I realized that, I was like, >> no, I didn't get that. I've seen that 13 times and I didn't get that. That is >> cuz they kept bringing the canary up, but the canary kept surviving. But she drew the picture of the canary. >> Yeah. >> And in the flashbacks, you see the mother >> and the mother and the dad. >> Yeah. You see the mother, dad, and the canary in the middle. I was like, "Oh, she's the canary." >> Oh, god. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Oh, yeah. >> Such a good movie. >> Oh, man. And that's also good because that is how people feel. >> Mhm. >> It we we feel with in relationship to the government, I mean, >> or when I say government in the broad sense, um, >> we feel like we are the canary. Yeah. Mhm. Yeah, definitely. Yeah, they are not the canary. Um, okay. Gee or guy or ghee. >> A French person probably. >> Yes. Kind of answered this, but I feel like it might be good to hone in on a an answer here. What does love actually change in precognitive remote viewing? >> Okay. What does love actually change in precognitive remote viewing? And I want to pronounce this gooey like like the interface the interface that we all see. Okay. Um but does it actually change? That's interesting. It's interesting because so my definition of love is that which connects and then my definition of unconditional love is feeling loved and being able to love without anything needing to change. So this I'm I'm I'm parsing this question because I don't think that you know that that Bible phrase about love doesn't change anything. I horrible with Bible phrases. >> I'm not familiar. But >> I'm Jewish and and furthermore read the Torah. So but I think there's some phrase about like love doesn't alteration doesn't alter stuff. That's how eloquent I can be. And um but I think that's real. So I don't know that it changes anything. But if someone is in a loving state, then there is no unconditionally loving. So I want to make a distinction between conditional love, which is kind of like if you're a computer scientist, it's like conditional love is like an and statement. Both things have to be true in order for love to happen. Like I have to love you, you have to love me. Now we're in love. That's what we usually think of as love. Unconditional love is like you could be completely ignoring me or hate me, but I unconditionally love everybody. Like that's the other thing about unconditional love is it includes everybody, right? So it's very different and it's more of a rare thing for that reason. So unconditional love doesn't change anything. But what it does do is when you are in a already in a state of unconditional love. I think what it actually allows you to do is not have any conditions on time or space. So it's almost like a it's almost like a belief factor. It's like if you can if you could imagine the universe as this giant bubble of love, why are why are you privileging or saying that you could only get information from this half of the universe? but not this half of the universe or this little area that's right in front of you. It's like it's all included in the bubble. >> You're just going to a different place in the bubble. >> So, I think it I think if it changes anything, it would change your perspective or belief that you're connected to something that previously you didn't know you were because you were having a condition like I can't love that. >> Right. Yeah. I'm just now realizing that that's the uh it's the oneness that you measure in quantum physics, but it's also that oneness you feel unconditionally through this like love, right? So that that oneness, that feeling of like, oh, we're all one and this like loveydvey like sort of thing. But that's also what scientists uh you know and physicists observe >> when they're looking at the quantum vacuum or you know the zero point like it's like oh this is all one. >> This is all one. >> It's all one. And that's, you know, also what love is. >> Yeah. And so if you can if it if it can shift your perspective because you're viscerally in that state, >> then any concerns you had about like, well, I just really can't do this go away. It's like bursting through that ceiling in that dream, >> right? >> It's like there is no ceiling, >> right? There's no spoon. [laughter] Um, >> and but there is a slug and he's got another question. >> Okay. And shout out to everybody who's asked a question. You know, so many questions were amazing. I can only choose so many, but Slug had multiple good questions, so we chose two. What target traits produce the strongest signal? Emotion, novelty, or physical contrast? >> I think this is a UC Santa Cruz person. Um, I wonder if I know this person. What target traits produce the strongest signal, emotion, novelty, or physical contrast? >> Because Ed May would say contrast, right? That would be like um like as soon as something has entropy or or uh a high entropy would yield like a a more accurate uh reading of a target. >> Uh I would say none of those things. Yeah, I I get what Ed May would say, but I I guess I disagree. What I've found is novelty comes the closest. >> Okay. >> Um but it would be what I've tested is interestingness. >> H >> like how interesting is the target? Like psychic attention is just like non- psychic attention. >> But would that be subjective? >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> Yeah. I didn't test it subjectively. Like there I what I did was I had a bunch of the targets and had a bunch of people on MTurk just these are just human raiders rate them according to their interestingness and then I average the scores. >> Oh interesting. >> And then I could show that the ones that were like off that got the wrong target it was because the opposite target that wasn't the target was actually more interesting. >> And what is interesting based on? >> Yeah. So interesting what I said in the definition this is just a human judgment call. Sure. What I said in the definition is what seems most intriguing, which of these targets seem mo most intriguing and then just all the different pair-wise combinations, right? And so you're always trying to define the term with some other term that's similar to it. So basically that's how they responded and there was this situation and I replicated this twice where if some target is more interesting and you you're more likely to get it correct and if it's if it's a target pair like a dummy target and a real target the d if the dummy target is more interesting you're more likely to get the original target wrong. So it's very much like waking daily perception. If something is very interesting in a memory task and you're not a trained, you know, memory athlete, you're gonna, if I say, listen to these words and remember them, church, triangle, albatross, and cheese, you're more likely to remember albatross because it's the most unusual word. >> So, the same thing just happens in the psychic world, >> right? even something a little more appealing, you know, aesthetically even even >> but it has to have some kind of meaning like there like when I've used pictures that are just like I don't know AI or >> but if you if you have like a if you're a big rock fanatic and you collect rocks like to me a rock is mundane but to you >> a rock is really intriguing >> and I've seen that with when I used to train remote viewing I would see that and I run a team called um intuitive forecasting and and then I stopped running the team and I gave that over to the rest of the team but I'm on the team and the people who are like we have a guy who's a computer scientist who does cyber security. So his remote viewings are very much focused on the technical aspect of whatever we're looking at. Then we have someone who's an artist and her remote viewings are really focused on the aesthetic aspects. And so whatever in fact one guy I was when I was training he was an engineer and if the target was a person he'd be like I got nothing. >> Okay. But if the target was like >> a building, >> a building, he'd be like, "Oh, he's got it's got this cool thing and then what's this thing over here?" Really? >> Yeah. So, it's like what your interest is, >> what your expertise is. Yeah. >> Ah, that's really good. That's uh it's really interesting to think about. >> Wow. Yeah. Because I I always had it pegged like, "Oh, it's got to be contrast." Like, it's got to be contrast. Like, in my head, I was >> That's a visual feature, but many many many people aren't visual remote viewers, >> right? But only because like our brains are hardwired to recognize uh change, right? So like you know like the Gansfeld effect, if like if I hear or see light or or hear a certain sound after a while, it's not going to hear it. Like you walk into a room and you'll smell >> something foul. But if you're in that room, you won't smell it. >> But when you're doing a remote viewing, you're making your own contrast by showing up like like it's like all of a sudden I was not doing a remote viewing and now I'm doing a remote viewing. To me, that's already contrast. >> But like if you had like a remote viewing where the target was, you know, um something mutable or something, you know, changing or or >> this is the entropic thing about this is where my head was at too. I was like, it would make sense that my brain like a moth to a flame would be a little more open to noticing change than it would to like a mundane bush or >> also more interesting. So, it's really hard to separate those. >> That's right. That's what I'm realizing now. Oh yeah, we might be talking about one and the same thing here. >> Yeah. Yeah. So, more work needs to be done. There is a database that um I've been making with uh and mostly I'm just along for the ride on this with Damon Abraham and Helani WAB and some other folks um of something like a thousand images that we that could be really good remote viewing targets and we rate them on all these dimensions and so I think that work can be done now. >> Amazing. >> Um but it has to be done. I'm very excited. I'm very excited for you. I'm very excited for the future of of um you know, looking into the whole SAI phenomena. You know, you just came you and this is something we didn't even touch on, but you just came back from SCU as well like this >> scientific coalition for UIP studies. Yeah. >> Yeah. How was that briefly? >> Oh, amazing. [laughter] You know, it's a group of scientists and engineers mostly who are trying to figure out what can we learn about UAP and what's the deal with NHI. And my favorite part of it is this year I say the same thing whenever I go which is you guys we have to study consciousness like we can't just look at race cars in the sky. Um and this year they're like okay you're right we've got to study consciousness. That made me feel really good. I wasn't the only person saying it. >> Yeah. >> But I think if you don't understand that there's a relationship between the human mind and mind itself as a universal thing and UAP. you haven't understood the phenomena. Like the these are not just race cars in the sky. There's clearly there's telepathy going on with every person who talks about abduction experiences. There's this um psionic thing going on with uh intention intentionality. Now you see me now you don't. There's this trickster phenomenon >> time phenomenon. >> There's a time phenomenon which is can be per human perceptual time and also physical time. And so this this has to be part of the story. And I know that we're staying away from it, you know, at a cultural level because it's much easier to say, "Oh, look at race cars in the sky." But like that is the big taboo and we've got to walk towards it with our eyes open. >> That's what I think. So that was my favorite part of it. >> Yeah, I would agree with that. I think um who is the um Wilbur Smith? the Wilbur Smith documents. >> I don't know those. >> 1950 he was the >> I think the minister of transport if I'm not mistaken in Canada here and in 1950 there is a um a declassified document after he came back from a trip to the United States where he said that he met with officials and they're taking the flying saucer uh things very seriously over there. and he goes uh he even says um Vanavar Bush put together uh a team to look into this stuff you know which is very interesting and then and this is a this is an official document it's not contested this is a document that was you know written by him and then it says he's got this list of like three things or whatever and he goes number one flying saucers are real period yeah >> number two uh he says something else and number three he goes and the phenomenon on is mental. >> Yes. >> And he says this. >> Yes. >> And then right after that is where we start getting into MK Ultra. We start getting into and it happened right here at at you know McGill. >> Well and MK Ultra for kids which is like Sorate. Yep. >> Yep. And at McGill is where they did a lot of those studies. >> Scary acid studies. >> Exactly. So I mean you have this connection of this official in Canada being like oh they already know that it's mental. Yeah. that there is a >> that was back in 1950 and it feels like disclosure is just at like here are some videos and some audio of >> but doesn't that feel like by design? >> Yes, that's what I'm saying. It's just like >> where they're like no no it is just race cars. >> It is just race cars >> please. >> Yes. Please just >> please just race cars. Do not look over here. >> Yes. But it's but it the funny part is that to me as a as a person who's gifted at pre-cognition and telepathy, remote viewing, that kind of stuff, and I'm sure you have this experience, too. Secrets are not going to last too long. >> I mean, I think that's what it's defending, right? When you realize that you can use your mind to get information and that the classification doesn't make a single difference. Yeah. >> Then um >> Yeah. >> It changes the world. >> Yeah. It's quite threatening. >> Yeah. It's threatening >> to certain people. >> That's right. And so we have to work towards a world in which we can still protect ourselves um you know as people continue to grow up and learn how to be better humans with each other. We're going to have to still protect ourselves um in a world where secrets can be had. It's so interesting because you see them you see this dichotomy of them trying to like no you know it's stay this mind stuff is nothing don't worry about that meanwhile you know they're doing all the work at sic and all these other places where they're like you know >> but then they're actively working on AI which will inevitably make everything public anyways >> well there will be no secrecy itself you could argue is a method for creating a mind that channel the informationational substrate and I think it already does. >> Yeah, I think we need to Yeah, we need to be there before AI though. >> Yeah, I mean that's the hope. >> We'll see. Yeah, that'd be great. >> Yeah, >> we'll see. Can we do one more question? I have an intuition. >> Um there's I mean I could pick one. >> Yeah, >> we're all Yeah, sure. I'm I'm all out of questions on my split flap, so I'll have to go to the thread here. >> Okay, >> you have an intuition. You have like an intuitive intuition that there's like a question that is juicy. I just have a feeling. >> How about this? How about we try something a little different that I've never done before. >> Excellent. Never done before. We should do the oracle. >> Oh yeah, >> we'll do that after this question. >> So here I'll let you choose a question. >> This is the there's 46 to choose from. Stan B. Yesterday at 133, what causes precognition of an event that doesn't happen anymore after you acted upon the precognition? Excellent. I love that. So, now we're going to draw something. >> Great. >> Okay. So, how do we hold this up to a camera? I >> I'll film it afterwards. >> Okay, great. So, [laughter] thank you. Um, so we usually think about timelines and we usually think of when we're not like in the movie every everything all at once, we think about one timeline, right? So here's time going and here's event A and here's event B and let's give them let's make those events. What's event A? >> Um, uh, a sporting event. >> Okay, sporting event. And then event B is a a missile launch. All right, that's pretty hasty. >> How [laughter] do we get there? >> Yeah. Well, so at the sporting event, you have a um pre-cognition. You see someone kick a football and you go, "Oh, you know, North Korea is going to do another test of an ICBM." Like that comes into your head, let's say. So, you kick a football. Football leads to my handwriting is so crappy. leads to idea of hey North Korea ICBM test [sighs] and then lo and behold a day later the missile launch happens. So this is day one this is day two. What if you happen to be like head of you know the North Korea desk at CIA or something and you can actually and you know that you have really good intuitions. So, at this football game, you go, "Oh, actually, we better think about this and let's foil that attempt. Let's make that attempt to fail or make it so they don't even launch it at all or make it so that it's not public." Then you do some preparations here on day one because apparently you work with a team that's like more enlightened than any other team because they understand that you have this gift. And then on day two, there is no missile launch. So we usually think about that scenario as if this B the missile launch has that did happen in North Korea feeds back to day one A being at the sporting event and gives you that information and now you're on a new timeline where that event B didn't happen. It's like it allows you to select a better timeline. >> Yeah. >> Okay. So this is a new timeline. The way I like to think about it, because I hate this, is I I just think it's ugly. Uh, and I and I think there's one I think there's a oneformational substrate of the universe that has everything that will happen and has happened. >> Also, someone who's in science fiction. It's lazy. >> It's lazy. Yeah, it is lazy. >> It's It's Avengers Endgame. >> Yeah. It's every It's It's It's Back to the Future. >> Yeah. Exactly. >> Yeah. So, I don't like it. So instead, what I think is is more real is theformational substrate knows that there's going to be this missile launch. It gives you this information at the football game and you prepare to destroy the missile. All that was destroy the uh missile launch so it doesn't happen. All that is part of the informationational substrate. The knowledge that there's this intention for the missile launch. the knowledge that if it gives you that information at the football game that you could foil that intention and the knowledge that you will foil that intention. So when we're thinking about the benefit of the informationational substrate for explaining this stuff, this is exactly where that comes in where it's no longer that you have to work with the events in time that actually make it up to physical manifestation. You're working with this substrate that is actually aware. It's mind. This universal mind is aware of what needs to happen. So what it the problem with this that people don't like is it ends up suggesting that whatever happens was the best possible outcome, >> right? Yeah. The one that favors it, >> right? And so then it's like, oh, so the Holocaust was so 911 was the best possible outcome. You know, that's like pretty horrible thing to come up against. >> Yeah. But then stretch that out a million years and there might be a reason there that you're >> not understanding of. Yeah. Exactly. So then that's where love comes in. >> So it's like if you have to love >> So there's no changing it. >> Well, there there's this this was not a change, right? Your activity that made this >> the illusion of changing it. It's the illusion of stepping in and doing the right thing. But all in all, that's what had to happen. >> It's all coming up from the substrate. >> Yeah. That's what happened anyway. That's what was going to happen. That's >> Yeah. And that's just how it had to happen. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> That is how it happened. That's how it happened. Yeah. There's no other way. There's no other way. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Interesting. Okay. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Great question, Stan B. >> Thanks, Stan B. >> All right, Julia, I want to thank you so much for these these wild conversations that I'm glad I'm so glad I had, and I'm sure that um you know, my brain is now much fuller. My heart is more full as well, and I have a lot to ponder and a lot to think about. Um, but I I want to ask you as well if there's anywhere, you know, people can go to read up more about perhaps your work or uh maybe some of your literature, like where's the best place that they can go? >> Um, best place is the inspiracy.lo, which is hard to spell, so it's conveniently julia mossbridge.com. [laughter] And um, yeah, Juliabridge.com is really has everything >> has everything there. >> Also has the oracle there. >> Great. which I'm still gonna get you to try. >> Yes. [laughter] Should we try now? >> Let's try now. So, wait before you go. >> Okay. >> Think what's your question gonna be? Let's tell the audience. >> Um, my question for whom? The universe. >> Any for you? For the universe, whatever comes into your head. >> Does it have to be It doesn't have to be like a yes or no question, right? It could be just anything. >> Oh, for sure. I mean, like, why not? >> Yeah. >> Um, >> how will >> Mhm. >> the upcoming tour that I'm going to be on, um, how will that affect my trajectory within the next year for this channel? >> Okay. How will the upcoming tour that Chris is going to be on affect his trajectory for this channel? Yeah, his upcoming trajectory over the next year. >> Exactly. How will that affect the trajectory? >> So, go to juliabridge.com and then click on try the Oracle. >> Okay, I'm going to screen cap here. So, I have it >> and actually it'll have you type it into the space so you can comosbridge.com. >> Oh, just Julia.com. And then we go on there and we find the Oracle. It >> says try the Oracle. >> Try the Oracle. All right. Ask your question or offer an intention. >> So, you can type it in there if you're a fast typist or you can just say hello. Doesn't matter because we already know what it is. >> All right. Hello. And do I prefer the answer is short, >> medium, or long? >> I think long. >> Okay, >> let's go. And then time jump me some wisdom. Boom. Here we go. You notice the hope and fear wave over her face exactly like it does yours. In the future, your trash will come up as a flower. Back to my concern about this chapter title. [laughter] >> Wow, >> that's interesting. I like the middle line. In the future, your trash will come up as a flower. >> And then back to my concern. >> Yeah, >> it's kind of like a loop. >> It is a loop. There's a loop here. Yeah. What's the first line? >> You notice the hope and fear wave over her face exactly like it does yours. >> Wow. >> Yeah. >> Wow. >> Hope and fear. >> Hope and fear. Okay. >> Okay. >> I like this. >> What is what is your interpretation of that? >> Um >> with your question >> I think well the first part is a little introspective >> to be like >> you notice your hopes and fears which is something I think even asking the question of you know how is this going to affect me? There is some implied hope and fear there. >> Well and she might be your sacred feminine. >> Yeah absolutely. And then in the future your trash will come up as a flower >> which is great. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. So perhaps the shows that are going to be uh maybe the rockiest >> or the you know the maybe I miss a flight or something and all that's going to lead to a better outcome. >> Yeah. >> So and that's something I'm I'm very much aware of and I'm in favor of because if I tell you I had a great time in Paris, no one wants to hear that. >> Yeah. >> But if I tell you I got pickpocketed, they're going to go what happened? Right. So it's the worst outcome is always a better story. Yeah. >> Uh, and then back to my concern about this chapter title. And the chapter title I think is a question is is the question I just asked. And so the question being, you know, how is this? So back to the question. >> Back to the question. >> Yeah. How do you feel? I think I got my answer. >> Wow. >> Yeah. Nice. Great. >> Okay. I'm excited about your tour. >> Great. Oracle. Uh, thank you again, Julia, for everything. Uh, go check it out, julibr.com. if not just to ask the Oracle a question, but uh also to follow along with everything you're doing. Uh this this will go up in a few weeks, so it'll already be too late, but you'll be at Syame as well. You'll be talking there. Is there any other um public appearance that people should know about? I'll be in Australia if anyone wants to go to Australia for the parasychology dialogues in a couple weeks. And then um let's see, I'm doing a TED uh TEDex talk in Nashville for the TED people with a group of uh two days of uh talks about the sacred feminine. >> Cool. >> And I'll be talking about unconditional love there. And then there's the Synapse, which is a conference uh primarily highlighting women as speakers and but anyone can come in this space. It's invite only. So, we ask people to apply, but there's no fee. But, um, in the consciousness, cognitive science, AI, robotics space, and that is going to be next spring. We originally had it done in October. Now, it's going to be next spring. >> And then, of course, uh, telepathy tapes documentary. >> Yeah. January and February, some March, sometime. >> Great. That Yeah. >> Yeah. >> All right. Well, I'd love to have you back sometime. Perhaps in the diner one day. >> Oh, yeah. I want to do the diner. Oh, can I add another thing that's coming up? >> Yes, of course. >> There's going to be a really great episode on telepathy tapes um featuring our most recent work with non-speakers and that'll be coming up soon. >> Very exciting. I'm excited for you and I'm excited for the whole space and uh so glad to have you. Thank you so much. >> Thank you. Thank you.
