Sally Rhine Feather, Ph.D. who was born in 1930 is the eldest daughter of Joseph Banks (J.B.) and Louisa Rhine. They are often referred to as the founders of modern parapsychology. They founded what was the Duke Parapsychology Lab and is now the Rhine Research Center: Bridging the Gap between Science and Spirituality. Sally grew up in the early days and heart of parapsychological research. She participated in experiments as a child, met mediums such as Eileen Garret, and as she got older, she was a research assistant for her parents. She watched ESP studies, the launch of Zenar cards, studies on animals and more. She served on the board of directors at The Rhine, and in 2010 she received the 2010 Career Achievement Award from the Parapsychology Association. She has co-edited books on her parents' research. Full Notes, Photos, Video of Kiwi: Founders of Modern Parapsychology with Sally Rhine Feather, PhD, Daughter of JB + Louisa Rhine, Founders of The Rhine Institute J.B. Rhine: (1895-1980) is considered to be the founder of modern parapsychology. He was originally a botanist before getting into psychology, joining the psychology department at Duke University. He then moved onto parapsychology and opened the Duke Parapsychology Lab. He was the "first to systematically apply experimental investigations in the field of psychical research." He developed experiments in ESP using Zenar cards, studies in precognition, ESP and worked with historic mediums such as Eileen Garret. He detected fraud but also got inexplicable results. He kept tight protocols and did fascinating ground-breaking research on ESP and Psychokinesis, adding to the solid body of evidence that our consciousness seems to behave non-locally. Louisa Rhine: (1891-1983) She collaborated with JB Rhine and developed innovative methods to study psi and ESP. Like J.B. Rhine she applied the scientific method to parapsychology. Her main focus was her collection of spontaneous cases. There are books on these cases she collected. According to Psi Encyclopedia, The Rhine's drew many conclusions such as, "Psi is non-physical, showing no association with brain localization, musculature, sex, age, ethnicity or health, is not mediated through the normal six senses, and is not limited by space or time.

During a neurology rotation at Johns Hopkins, he worked under the legendary Vernon Montcastle and cared for patients who had half their brains removed or split-brain surgery. He assessed the effects such surgery had on consciousness, his first understanding that consciousness does not depend on brain function. He attended lectures by the early pioneers of functional neurogenesis. This is the revolutionary concept that all thoughts and experience changes our brain and our brain is capable of repairing itself. Follow Dr. Melvin L.

Consciousness can be created by a brain and there could still be an afterlife. How could that work? Sea Kimbrell has a JD and a PhD in biology, and is a former Professor of Biology. He is author of "Atheists in the Afterlife: Eight Paths to Life After Death Without God." As an atheist from a secular family he always wondered what could happen after death. Using his knowledge as a scientist, he realized there ARE ways we can survive death that has nothing to do with god, heaven, or religion.

What happens when serious scientific protocols and testing methods are applied to psychic mediums? Can they get accurate information? Is this strong evidence that we actually survive badly death? Guest:⁠Julie Beischel, PhD⁠, Cofounder and Director of Research at the ⁠Windbridge Research Center⁠ and the ⁠Windbridge Institute, LLC⁠ Full notes on: Blinded, Peer Reviewed Scientific Studies on Psychic Mediums with Dr. Julie Beischel, Cofounder of The Windbridge Institute Dr. Julie Beischel is cofounder of the Windbridge Institute (Normalize, Optimize, Utilize Psi) and the Windbridge Research Center (studying dying, death, and what comes next), along with her husband Mark Boccuzzi. She is also Director of Research at the Windbridge Research Center. Dr. Beischel received her PhD in Pharmacology and Toxicology with a minor in Microbiology and Immunology from the University of Arizona. She then took her training as a scientist to apply the scientific method to study psychic mediums. Windbridge and the research team have used tight protocols to conduct up to quintuple-blinded, peer-reviewed studies on psychic-mediums. These studies had astounding results. When you eliminate all opportunities for mediums to cheat (such as giving cold-readings or hot-readings) a portion of mediums can get highly accurate information under these tight controls.

Paul H. Smith, Remote Viewer with the US Army Star Gate Project describes his time as a "psychic spy" in the US Army Remote Viewing Program, named the Star Gate Project, which he joined in 1984. (Star Gate was officially declassified in 1994.) Remote Viewing is a learned skill where a person can get information about an event or location using ESP or psychic information. Full notes on Psychic Military Spies, US Army Star Gate Project, and Remote Viewing with Paul H. Smith Episode 39 During Paul's assignment with the US Army, he was trained by the founders of Remote Viewing, Ingo Swann and Dr. Harold E. Puthoff at SRI-International (Stanford Research Institute). Paul shares some remarkable and highly evidential Remote Viewing sessions he witnessed, in which the US Army Remote Viewers got specific details of locations and what was being built in those locations. He also shares a few remarkable times he got very accurate information, including a time he (and others) got precognitive information - meaning information about the future - about an event that had not yet happened. He discusses ways Remote Viewing has been applied to the everyday real world, such as betting and investing, as well as used by police and detectives. Remote Viewing has also been used to view outer space where Ingo Swann got details that were later verified. If you have ever heard that Star Gate was not successful, Paul will explain why it was actually closed and why that is not true. This episode with a logical-minded, well-respected Retired US Army Major who discusses factual situations where he and other people seemingly defined the laws of space and time, will make you question what you think you know. No matter how science-minded you are. Paul currently teaches classes on Remote Viewing (anyone can learn this technique!). You can find the details on his website, Remote Viewing Instructional Services. He also wrote books on the topic The Essential Guide to Remote Viewing: The Secret Military Remote Perception Skill Anyone Can Learn and Remote Perception: Basic Operational Training.

What are my thoughts on manifesting? I recently was a speaker at a group summit "Swey to Success" on using spirituality to grow success. I personally don't consider myself especially spiritual although I study and explore topics like an afterlife and remote viewing. If they all prove to be true, I see it more as science than spirituality. Manifesting is a popular topic now and I have lots of thoughts on that...

Lynn Miller is a psychic medium and intuitive based in Malibu. While she always had some abilities, they grew much stronger during an NDE (Near Death Experience). Her main goal in her career is using these "defy the (apparent) laws of the universe" abilities to help people in their business and in personal relationships. But while doing so, she is also helping add to the growing body of evidence that we do survive bodily death. According to Lynn, "Everyone is capable of listening to their own guidance or psychic abilities; however, shedding light and bringing to the fore those messages and intuitions is another goal altogether." Originally she was interested in acting, so now she is using her comfort in front of a camera to bring attention to the survival of consciousness.

"Science is that you're making observations and yes we use our senses to do that. We enhance our senses with microscopes and telescopes or whatever we need to to observe things and then we make hypotheses concerning. Okay, what could have caused this thing to happen and then we find ways to test these hypotheses or we say what would the Ah Afterlife Hypothesis. What would that predict." Full notes on Death Bed Experiences and Near Death Experiences with J. Steve Miller J. Steve Miller, PhD is author of many books including "Deathbed Experiences as Evidence for the Afterlife" and "Near Death Experiences (NDEs) as Evidence for the Existence of God and Heaven." He is now an Assistant Professor of Philosophy,in the Interdisciplinary Studies department at Kennesaw State University teaching such courses as Introduction to Religion, Critical Thinking, Religion & Science, and Death & Dying. Dr. Miller always had a fascination with religion, spirituality and the truth of our existence. Tragically when he was a young man, his first wife passed away from cancer, which propelled him further into this exploration. In this episode Dr. Miller shares how he first learned about NDE's through a book about someone's persona experience, but he wanted more evidence. He didn't know this person. How did he know that we're even telling the truth. This lead him to delve into Near Death Experience research done by people such as Dr. Jeffrey Long and Dr. Sam Parnia. This propelled him further to study Deathbed Experiences, such as when people see their loved ones who have passed away when they are close to death. He was amazed to learn people he knew and trusted had experienced both of these. Being curious, logical, and a philosopher, he applied an amazing "hypothesis test" and way of thinking about the stories he heard either anecdotally or as reported by researchers. This is a test all of us can use when we read about afterlife evidence or hear personal stories people report. In this episode: - Top researchers on NDE's - Apply logic and assess each bit of afterlife data and evidence - Deathbed Experiences - when people see deceased loved ones or other beings at the time of death - Shared Death Experiences (SDE's) - Crisis apparitions - when people who have just died visit an unknowing loved one - Mark Twain's experience with predicting a death in a dream - Why oxygen deprivation to the brain doesn't explain NDE's - People he knew and trusted who have had NDE's and SDE's and more...

"There's evidence for some type of psychic functioning that is in and of itself incredible, because it speaks to this entire new way of thinking about reality. Right? This opens us up to this whole possibility of this non materialist based reality, that we're connected in ways that materials reality can't even begin to touch." Mark Boccuzzi is cofounder, along with his wife Dr. Julie Beischel, of The Windbridge Institute and The Windbridge Research Center. Windbridge conducts an assortment of studies using scientific protocols, (up to quintuple-blinded) on psychic mediums and their abilities to get accurate information about a sitters (person receiving the medium reading) deceased loved ones.

"So what I'm what I'm trying to get at here is that I love science. And I believe it's a wonderful way of gathering knowledge. And I think we should be very careful not to slip into dogma and make sure we are sharpening this beautiful tool all the time. And I also believe there is multiple ways of gathering knowledge beyond the scientific lens as well." Cristina A. Moraru of Worthful Woman is a science communicator and podcaster focused on the intersection of science and spirituality.

When Krista asked her ex, who had recently passed, to prove to her that there is an afterlife, she was stunned by the level of evidence she got. As someone who has been researching evidence for the last 5 years, Liz has to admit this is one of the strongest, most remarkable signs she has ever heard of. Krista is a "normal" person, who has had some inexplicable experiences. She is not a psychic medium. She is not involved in the afterlife or paranormal world at all, which makes you think that these things can happen to all of us. Full Show Notes on "Prove to me There is an Afterlife!" + Voices that Saved Lives Episode 28 What we talk about in this Episode: - Krista was always fairly skeptical and never thought much about afterlife or spirituality. - Unfortunately, she lost her mom when she was young, so families would take her to church, but it never resonated.

Psychic medium Deborah (Deb) Freeman always knew she was not alone. Since she was a child she felt a loving "presence" that cared for her. After having an NDE (Near Death Experience) and later another, as she puts it, she should be dead, but believes this presence saved her. She always "knew" things, such as inexplicably knowing her healthy dentist was going to pass away before her next appointment. She was confused by what she understood to be a message for a friend of hers from someone who had passed away, and learned that this friend had lost a son many years ago. This message was from this woman's son. A son of a woman who worked as a cashier made sure Deb let his grieving mom know he was still around when this woman happened to be ringing up Deb's purchases at TJ Maxx. As these inexplicable messages kept getting verified, Deb realized she was a psychic medium. But she didn't only get messages for other people. After her husband Dan sadly passed, he made sure to let Deb, her kids, and grandkids know he was still there. Along is a psychic medium, certified by the Psychic Institute in Glastonbury, CT. She also does Reiki. She has been giving readings publicly since 2019, but has been receiving messages for over 30 years. She does both group and private readings, benefit readings for charities, fairs, and runs workshops.

There is an amazing phenomena when someone dies and their loved ones "accompany" them on the first part of their dying journey into the afterlife. This is called the Shared Death Experience (SDE) and William J. Peters is the leading researcher. How are these similar and different from Near Death Experiences - NDE's? Some SDE's are not only transformative emotionally, but are shockingly evidential of an afterlife. Most likely would all love to have one, so who does report having SDE's and how can we increase our chances? William J. Peters is an end-of-life therapist who had a remarkable experience while volunteering at Hospice where he floated out of his own body and accompanied a dying patient as the patient crossed over. Having had two NDE's in his past, William recognized the similarity. He was so enthralled by this experience that he began to research if others had experienced anything similar. Spoiler alert - many people have. William spent the next 20 years gathering reports from others who had experienced what is now called a shared death experience. He founded The Shared Crossing Project in 2011 with the goal of positively transforming our relationship to death. Here people can discuss, share, and learn more about people's personal "Shared Crossing" experiences and the current research. He then wrote a book on his extensive research sharing some of the astounding stories called At Heaven's Door: What Shared Journeys to the Afterlife Teach About Dying Well and Living Better.

Peters, Founder of The Shared Crossing Project Including Upcoming Courses What we talk about in this Episode: - What are SDE's - Shared Death Experiences - How are they different from NDEs - Who has SDE's - What are some highly evidential and verified SDE's: How do we know they aren't like a dream - How can we all increase our chances of having an SDE and more...

Want some amazing evidence that mediums are really communicating with people who have died? Firefighter Andrew Radziewicz, has some amazing stories and abilities - he is a psychic medium able to evidentially speak with people who have died. In his "normal" life as a firefighter, he was stunned when a psychic medium he did not know approached him with very specific information about Andrew's recently passed grandmother. Later, this same medium gave him a message that didn't make sense at first but turned out to be profound (and shockingly evidential) when he happened to share it on a first date. Why is it so hard for mediums to solve crimes? That is something Andrew would ideally like to do.

"And the idea that you would sort of blink out of existence or death, as someone like Dawkins might argue, I don't think that's a scientific statement at all. It relies on a philosophy that isn't being talked about underneath." Despite what science says, it actually doesn't make more sense than our consciousness being downloaded by brain and continuing on after our death, that our consciousness would be created by a brain, which is non-conscious matter. What makes me a me? Where in our body is our consciousness stored? How does the English language, versus French, make us over identify with our bodies and treat temporary states as permanent? When were the first humans and do actions from that time still affect us today? Why was it that monkeys evolved the most? Could there have been a time other species, such as reptiles, evolved to the consciousness level of humans. Will a plastic eating bacteria save us? No you don't need to believe in God to think there is an afterlife.

It makes such a difference to us a small podcast. Matthew Riddle of Consciousness Matters and Darren McEnaney of Seeking I delve into the philosophy of science, afterlife and consciousness. What we talk about in this Episode: - What exactly is philosophy? It seems to mean something different to all three of them, and what role does science play in philosophy. - Is consciousness created by the brain? That is seemingly the scientifically logical explanation, but when you start examining, it is not necessarily as logical as it seems. - They discuss one of the biggest philosophical questions, what makes "me myself" or what makes "you yourself." How much are innate personality traits? How much personality is biological? If we have past lives, does that contribute to who we are in any way. - Where in our body is our consciousness stored? Is it really only our brain? We also feel so much in other parts of our body, such as our gut. - If we do live previous lives, how does that impact our life today? Every action by every person in history has impacted the world today in some way. - When were the first humans. Could there have been other civilizations way before the first known humans, who were wiped out? Or self destructed. - You do not need to believe in God to think there is an afterlife. - How psychedelics were transformative and eye-opening into other states of consciousness for Matt.

Mariah Kunau, who refers to herself as the Paranormal Concierge discusses channeling, mediumship and what is the strongest evidence of an afterlife that she has encountered.

This is a special episode launching WTF Just Happened?!'s Million Dollar Consciousness Challenge of Gilead contest. This is a contest where WTF Just Happened?! will offer one million dollars to anyone who can prove, through a scientific, peer reviewed study that demonstrates beyond a reasonable doubt that consciousness is created in human beings at the moment of conception. Note this cannot be belief based, it must be scientifically valid.* Go here for information on Abortion Access This challenge is inspired by the Amazing Randi's one million dollar challenge, where stage magician James Randi, offered one million dollars to anyone who demonstrated they had psychic, mediumship or any other "paranormal" abilities. No one ever won, which does not mean that no one has these abilities. That is another topic, which has been discussed on this podcast in Episode 14 - The Blue Lady of The Moss Beach Distillery with Parapsychologist Loyd Auerbach and Episode 8 - The Evidence that Convinced Two Skeptics There is an Afterlife with Darren McEnaney of Seeking I. There was another high money challenge that recently was proposed by Robert Bigelow of The Bigelow Institute for Consciousness Studies, offering up to $500,000 for the essay that provided the best evidence of an afterlife. The top three prizes went to: First place $500,000 was awarded to Dr. Jeffrey Mishlove, 2nd Prize $300,000, Pim van Lommel M.D., 3rd Prize $150,000, Leo Ruickbie Ph.D. There were other awards given to those not in the top three, and their essays are worth reading. *This means that the scientific community would come to a consensus that this has been proven. Apparently in the United States of America, laws are being passed that apply to women (only in certain states who are only in certain socio-economic income brackets, where they cannot afford to take a day or two off and fly to another state) imposing this what can only now be interpreted as a religious belief. I would be curious to see if there is actual valid evidence that could prove this astronomical claim. To be eligible for the one million dollars, the scientific community must be convinced beyond a reasonable doubt, as well as me that consciousness is created at conception.

Jacob Cooper, LCSW, RMT + CH. Author of Life After Breath When Jacob "died" when he was only 4 years old, he experienced what is called an NDE - Near Death Experience. He stopped breathing from an undiagnosed whooping cough while playing on a slide at the playground. As he was rushed to the hospital, he "crossed over" and experienced what happens when we die. After gaining the wisdom, he had to return to his life a as a child. Years later, (Jacob is now in his 30's) he remembers his NDE as if it was yesterday. To this day, he is not only still transformed from this experience, he is convinced that yes we really do survive death.

Are Near Death Experiences genuine evidence of what happens when we die, tricks of the brain to help us cope with fear or death, hallucinations based on trauma and oxygen deprivation? Listen to what an expert who has been researching NDE's for years has to say on the topic. Dr. Jan Holden is an NDE (Near Death Experiences) researcher who is at the top of her field. She has been researching NDE's since the 1970s, is an author on the topic and president of IANDS - International Association for Near Death Studies. See full show notes for Near Death Experiences - NDE's with Dr. Jan Holden Episode NDE's (Near Death Experiences) are when someone is clinically dead (or close to it) for a set period of time before being medically resuscitated. During this time people report floating above their body, describe the hospital room and often details of what was going on, such as what doctors and nurses were saying or doing. But are these genuine evidence of what happens when we die or hallucinations with logical and material explanations? Dr. Holden shares remarkable stories of "veridical perceptions" which is when what people see and perceive during NDE's turns out to be verified by the doctor or other credible witnesses such as their family members. People often report seeing deceased loved ones during NDE's, but when people also see loved ones who died suddenly and no one knew they were deadDoes that mean our loved ones who passed away chose not to be with us? As someone in grief, Liz finds that hard to face, and Dr. Holden discusses her thoughts on that topic. These are just some of the aspects of NDE's that Dr Holden, an expert in the field, discusses with Liz and Darren.

Annette Marinaccio, author of "Your Soul Focus: You Believe in the Afterlife, Don't You?". Liz continues her conversation about the evidence of an afterlife that convinced Annette, a logical-minded accountant, not prone to belief or fantasy that there really is an afterlife. See full show notes for More afterlife evidence that convinced a logical accountant. Author of "Your Soul Focus" Annette Marinaccio Annette had been so amazed by some evidential readings she had with two different psychic mediums, that she took her parents to one of the medium's group readings. Her father was just as stunned as Annette was, when her uncle, his deceased brother came through letting everyone know he was still around. But no matter how much evidence of an afterlife anyone gets, the two discuss that still, no one can really know what is going on. We are still limited by our 3 dimensional human lives. We can't understand things such as other dimensions or infinity. But are we even supposed to know? Maybe it would ruin our lives for us if we did know. Maybe we come here for a purpose and if we knew too much this would distract us from our purpose. Or make everything we were supposed to do while on earth feel irrelevant. The two discuss time and how time is relative both here and on the other side. While everyone from mediums to people who have had near death experiences all say time is different on the other side, Annette offers her theory as to why. They both discuss past life memories. Why do some people (although very few) actually have strong memories of a past life? . Annette shares how profoundly her life view has changed since studying all this evince of an afterlife. She also wants to remind people that she really has seen so much paradigm shifting and substantial evidence that yes, we do survive death.

A left-brained accountant and afterlife evidence. Author of "Your Soul Focus" Annette Marinaccio Annette Marinaccio is the author of "Your Soul Focus: You Believe in the Afterlife, Don't You?". Annette is a left-brained, logical accountant who had never given the afterlife much thought until after her mother-in-law passed away in 2006 and weird things began to happen. When she shared the inexplicable happenings her friend posed the question, "You believe in the afterlife, don't you?" Annette was baffled. Is that what people believed? What did she think? See full show notes for A left-brained accountant and afterlife evidence. Author of "Your Soul Focus" Annette Marinaccio. Annette is not the type to just believe without evidence, but so many things began to happen, that she started to think her mother in law must be behind this. Like Liz, she then set out to delve into the possibility of an afterlife and was pretty amazed at what she discovered. Annette shares how her mother-in-law first gave an inexplicable sign to let her granddaughter (Annette's daughter) know she was still around. At first Annette was worried that her daughter was taking the loss of her grandmother so badly that she was hallucinating. But then too many coincidences happened which culminated in a very evidential medium reading. She went on to get another medium reading from someone else. Annette even shared what happened in the medium reading with her dad, who verified even further that the reading was accurate. Although he was pretty shocked and confused that this could even happen. After Annette wrote her book about afterlife evidence, she even had moments where she got some inexplicable information herself. This is not something someone as logical as Annette would say lightly. Annette explains that she has been lucky to always have had good medium readings, unlike Liz, who had some bad ones. Annette shares more amazing and inexplicable information that these mediums got which made her unable to deny something was going on, and that we most likely survive bodily death.
