In this episode, I speak with Dr Melvin Morse about his research into Near-Death Phenomena in children and otherwise. We move on to the subject of Remote Viewing and it's implications on the understanding of consciousness before discussing, for the first time publicly, the widely circulated controversy of Dr Morse's past.

ABOUT DR MORSE

Dr. Morse has always been involved with research, primarily having to do with human consciousness. He has studied near death experiences, the spirituality of death and dying, spiritual neuroscience, and spiritual sight, a meditative practice.

He has published ground breaking research on energy healing.He identified that humans have a "god spot", an area of the brain that links them to the divine that is both within us and which we are a part. His primary interest has been working with grieving parents. He feels an obligation to present these sacred stories of encountering a loving god at the point of death especially for those struggling to comprehend the loss of a child.

He began studying and developing his abilities in paranormal phenomena in his early teens. After becoming a volunteer in Conscientiology in 1995 in Miami, Florida, he began giving classes on OBEs, paranormal phenomena and spiritual growth in 1996, including at the college level (Miami-Dade College) from 1997 to 2002.

In this episode, we look at Luis' own Out of Body experiences and question how we can practice and achieve them ourselves. We outline the evidence in support of the ontological legitimacy of the OBE and consider the skeptical arguments that are found surrounding the phenomenon.

 Most times we hear about Near-Death Experiences, we hear of someone who had a profound, life-changing experience which completely changed their outlook on life. My guest today, Tamara Caulder Richardson (AKA The Southern Belle Medium) has had SIX Near-Death Eperiences throughout her life, which has lead her down an amazing journey of spiritual growth and discovery.

I also appeared as a guest on Tamara's YouTube Channel

ABOUT TAMARA

As a small child around five years old, Tamara thought it was common for everyone to astral travel at night, or remote view locations or visit people at night, to know future events before they unfolded, and to communicate with disincarnate beings or animal spirits. At twelve years old, she starting realizing she “knew things” that the average person did not know, which was not very popular in her household. However, Tamara's spiritual events of her own six near-death experiences (NDE's) changed the path of her life forever, but unknowingly at the time. She strongly believes her spiritual gifts of clairvoyance, remote viewing, mediumship, astral travel, channeling were a result of her time between dimensions and being a spirit herself.

In this episode, Dr Tom Campbell and I discuss the research done on the nature of consciousness, and how this has lead to him creating his Big Theory of Everything. We look at the idea that life may be comparable to a Virtual Reality game and what this means for our understanding of ourselves, and the structure of the universe.

ABOUT DR CAMPBELL (From his website biography)

Tom Campbell began researching altered states of consciousness with Bob Monroe (Journeys Out Of The Body, Far Journeys, and The Ultimate Journey) at Monroe Laboratories in the early 1970s where he and a few others were instrumental in getting Monroe’s laboratory for the study of consciousness up and running. These early drug-free consciousness pioneers helped design experiments, developed the technology for creating specific altered states, and were the main subjects of study (guinea pigs) all at the same time. Campbell has been experimentingwith, and exploring the subjective and objective mind ever since. For the past thirty years, Campbell has been focused on scientifically exploring the properties, boundaries, and abilities of consciousness.

During that same time period, he has excelled as a working scientist, a professional physicist dedicated to pushing back the frontiers of cutting edge technology, large-system simulation, technology development and integration, and complex system vulnerability and risk analysis. Presently, and for the past 20 years, he has been at the heart of developing US missile defense systems.

In this episode, I talk with Joe Perreta, a Spirit Medium who always approaches his work with a skeptical, empirical point of view with the aim of gathering his sitters evidence first, reassurance second. Like me, Joe doesn't put much value in readings which contain only very general or emotionally-based messages such as "I love you" and "I'm okay" and, having taken part in many scientific studies on the subject himself, much prefers to offer veridical evidence of his abilities.

ABOUT JOE (From his website biography)

Joe Perreta is a Psychic Medium currently living in Manhattan. Through the gift of Mediumship Joe’s goal is to leave his clients spiritually, mentally, and emotionally healthier than before meeting with him.At the age of 10 he began learning how to read the tarot. In his teen years he started having prophetic dreams and visions which he didn’t always understand, this made him shy away from his gifts for over a decade.After seeking spiritual guidance from various Psychic Mediums and being told numerous times that he was a medium, Joe was still apprehensive.

That all changed after his cousin, astrologer Maria Desimone, introduced him to one of her psychic medium friends at a dinner party. Joe was asked to do an impromptu mediumship reading, his first mediumship reading to be exact. The overwhelming success of this reading gave him the validation he needed to continue on his life path. Since then, Joe has been working tirelessly to bring spirit closer to everyone here in the physical world.

His mediumship skills have been tested and he has been certified through the Forever Family Foundation. Joe is also featured in Goop.com’s “The Guide To Energy Healers, Intuitives, and Mediums.” He has also participated in scientific studies of Mediumship at various prestigious universities around the country. It is not only his mission to heal as many people as possible through the beautiful gift of Mediumship, but also to prove to the world that the soul is eternal.
