1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:12,520 Why is it that these UFOs always land in Farmer Bob's Field in Puckerbrush, Kansas? 2 00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:15,560 Why don't they land in Dodger Stadium? 3 00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:17,680 Everybody has this ability. 4 00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:22,160 It is not a gift that I have that's special. 5 00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:26,160 One key aspect to analyzing from this way is the environment. 6 00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:39,160 From the boundaries of the universe to the depth of your soul, embark on a journey through 7 00:00:39,160 --> 00:00:47,160 the unknown and unexplained as we explore mysteries, magic and miracles. 8 00:00:48,160 --> 00:00:52,160 Hello and welcome. I'm Patrick McNeigh. 9 00:00:52,160 --> 00:01:01,160 Today we'll take a look at a different way to talk with the animals and we'll discover how to get the most out of our surroundings. 10 00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:08,160 But first, if you aren't a believer, would you believe there is a society just for you? 11 00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:10,160 Believe it or not. 12 00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:20,160 We live in a world of strange phenomena where our faiths are tested by unseen happenings. 13 00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:25,160 While some believe without question, others don't believe at all. 14 00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:38,160 As many as there are believers in UFOs, ghosts and other strange phenomena, there are also the non-believers, the skeptics. 15 00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:46,160 Michael Sherman, publisher of the Skeptic Magazine and a professor in history of science, wants more than stories. 16 00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:52,160 And he insists that the world needs all the skeptics it can get. 17 00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:56,160 Our bias, we have a bias, here it is, our bias is science. 18 00:01:56,160 --> 00:02:02,160 We're interested in what's your evidence for your claims and what's the explanation for your claim. 19 00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:08,160 Thousands of people claim to have seen UFOs and many more say they have been abducted by aliens. 20 00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:15,160 For some, it has changed their outlook on life and they view their experiences as clear as daylight. 21 00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:20,160 They don't need any more evidence, but the skeptics do. 22 00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:27,160 Why is it that these UFOs always land in Farmer Bob's Field in Puckerbrush, Kansas? 23 00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:33,160 Why don't they land in Dodger Stadium or the White House or somewhere where we can see them? 24 00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:36,160 And it's a little more obvious. 25 00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:42,160 Michael obviously had definite opinions, so I wanted to know his thoughts on other life forms. 26 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:50,160 Is there life elsewhere in the universe? I would say most likely yes, though we can't prove that. 27 00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:56,160 Have any of these life forms come to the planet Earth? Our opinion is most likely not, for several reasons. 28 00:02:56,160 --> 00:03:01,160 One, the interstellar distances are enormous. It's very unlikely somebody will have come here. 29 00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:08,160 Much more likely is they will have tried to reach us through some sort of electronic communication, and we are monitoring that. 30 00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:13,160 So there is a legitimate search for intelligent life in the universe called the SETI program. 31 00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:19,160 But the people who claim that UFOs have come and that have been abducted by aliens and so forth, 32 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:23,160 they have the flimsiest of proof and evidence. 33 00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:30,160 I mean they have the shadowy stories about how they were abducted in the middle of the night while they were sleeping. 34 00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:35,160 This is a type of hallucination that occurs during a dream called the hypnopompic hallucination, 35 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:41,160 where you wake up in your dream, you wake up and you think you're awake and you can't move, 36 00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:45,160 and at the foot of your bed is either a ghost or an alien. 37 00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:54,160 The SETI program is a series of episodes that are about the human being. 38 00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:56,160 The SETI program is about the human being. 39 00:03:56,160 --> 00:04:02,160 Angels have been with us since the beginning of time. They are normally associated with heaven. 40 00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:07,160 On Earth, they are present when we need protection and guidance. 41 00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:10,160 The skeptics have their own explanation for them. 42 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:17,160 The recent popularity of angels has to do with the growing New Age movement. 43 00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:24,160 And basically people are uncomfortable with the quirkiness of the world. 44 00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:29,160 I mean bad things happen, weird things happen that don't seem to make sense in our lives. 45 00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:37,160 And angels is a way of thinking it's okay because I have this little Jiminy cricket type creature 46 00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:45,160 hanging around me, looking after me, protecting me, and it's a type of a psychological feeling of well-beingness 47 00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:47,160 that people turn to, I think. 48 00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:50,160 Even the devil's work has been criticized. 49 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:58,160 I think the devil is a little bit like angels in the sense that people are looking for something 50 00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:03,160 outside of the immediate world to explain the bad things that happen. 51 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:08,160 So if you can say, oh, the reason that good thing happened is because God wanted it to happen 52 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:11,160 or my angels were protecting me, same thing with the devil. 53 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:15,160 Well, something bad happened. Oh, that's Satan at work there. 54 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:21,160 Leading experts in the field of past life regression, who are also psychiatrists, 55 00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:27,160 explain the problems we experience in a present life are sometimes problems brought over from previous lives. 56 00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:35,160 For them, healing a patient sometimes involves hypnosis and regression into a past life. 57 00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:42,160 Past lives reincarnation, well, first of all, one of the serious problems with it is if people born today 58 00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:50,160 are actually people that used to live before, I mean their bodies are inhabited by people who used to live before, 59 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:55,160 then what happened to the spirit or soul of the person that's born now? 60 00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:59,160 Where does that go if it's been inhabited by somebody from before? 61 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:02,160 It's a serious problem with the logic of reincarnation. 62 00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:09,160 People have always been fascinated with death and where we go to when our spirit leaves our physical body, 63 00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:12,160 some people have claimed to have died and come to life. 64 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:19,160 Their glimpse of what a wonderful world awaits us after death remains an extraordinary tale. 65 00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:23,160 Michael Sherman has his own theory about death. 66 00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:27,160 When we die, nobody knows what happens. 67 00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:31,160 Scientifically speaking, we have no final answer on that. 68 00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:35,160 Personally, I think that this is all there is. 69 00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:44,160 The physical body dies and whatever is in my mind, whatever you want to call it, spirit, my soul, 70 00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:49,160 I just think it's my personality, it's just me, my memories, is gone forever. 71 00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:53,160 I mean as a scientist, I can't prove that there is not life after death. 72 00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:59,160 However, I can't prove that there's not a Santa Claus either, but it's very unlikely that there's a Santa Claus. 73 00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:05,160 It's very unlikely that ghosts exist, very unlikely that we will live beyond the physical body. 74 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:12,160 One of the first principles of skepticism is that you must never fool yourself and you're the easiest person to fool. 75 00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:16,160 Life in itself will always be an enigma. 76 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:21,160 Ghosts, angels and UFOs only add to the mystery. 77 00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:26,160 Whichever way you look at it, for those who believe, no explanation is necessary. 78 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:32,160 For those who don't believe, no explanation is possible. 79 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:52,160 In the 1950s, a Colorado housewife Ruth Simmons was hypnotized and regressed to another life in Ireland in the early 1800s. 80 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:59,160 She spoke with a thick Irish accent and called herself Brydie Murphy. 81 00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:06,160 Skeptics played a role in debunking this reincarnation story, but once the facts were proven, they became supporters. 82 00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:13,160 This story goes to show that even the most skeptical person can change his views. 83 00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:20,160 Research has proven people can communicate telepathically, but can animals? 84 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:31,160 According to interspecies communicators, we can ask our pets anything if we listen to what they have to say with our minds. 85 00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:41,160 Animals can tell us what they're feeling. Animals can read our thoughts. Animals can even communicate with other animals. 86 00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:52,160 Lydia Hibbey, an animal psychic, gives consultations to people looking for lost pets or those curious or concerned about their pets' health and well-being. 87 00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:57,160 And he said for a while he didn't realize he was a cat. He said someone bottle-fed him. Do you know? 88 00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:00,160 Yes, we did. We bottle-fed him and said, actually, yeah. 89 00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:02,160 Because he said I didn't think I was a cat. 90 00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:10,160 I was just real curious about it and wanted to see what my dogs and cat had to say. 91 00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:16,160 She feels great and she's certainly very contented with you and she's grateful that someone's taken such good care of her. 92 00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:25,160 Because I was told that she may have been abused and I was so afraid that I couldn't stand thinking about that, that she may have been. 93 00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:27,160 So I've always tried to make it up to her. 94 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:32,160 He said he really likes it when you talk to him all the time. He likes kind of being your therapist also. 95 00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:35,160 And I think that's the other reason why he doesn't want to share you with another cat. 96 00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:37,160 He said I like being the only one. 97 00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:46,160 I'm thrilled. I'm really impressed, you know, at the information and so much of it seems to just really fit. 98 00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:51,160 And then there were some surprises too that I'm really glad to know about. 99 00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:58,160 The only abuse that she said that she dealt with was someone who was very angry all the time and they yelled a lot. 100 00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:01,160 So someone raises their voice which she said you haven't really had to do. 101 00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:09,160 I'm very happy to have gotten her and to know that she's mentally stable is good news. 102 00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:13,160 I am relieved. I'm very relieved. 103 00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:30,160 Now when I sound, when I started working with the birds, the injured ones, is they would be so stressed out in captivity. 104 00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:35,160 They wouldn't know why we were there, what we were doing with them, why they were caged. 105 00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:40,160 And I felt this real helplessness about not being able to assure them. 106 00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:49,160 And I realized at that time that I had to do something extra sensory, something paranormal, but I didn't know what that meant. 107 00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:53,160 And he was living with me, but the problem I had was he screamed. 108 00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:55,160 And he screamed incessantly. 109 00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:59,160 And he would start screaming at the first thing in the morning and go all day. 110 00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:02,160 So I was considering letting him go. 111 00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:11,160 Her frustration with Rhett led her to take a workshop with Carol Gurney and interspecies communicator. 112 00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:22,160 And that afternoon we actually got quiet, sat down meditated with Rhett and everyone was just basically awestruck with their feelings about Rhett. 113 00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:26,160 He came across as an extremely powerful bird. 114 00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:29,160 And we all got messages about balance. 115 00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:35,160 The Rhett's message was about balancing our male and female energies, balancing our intuition with our action. 116 00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:40,160 Since then, Rhett's become calm and quiet. 117 00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:47,160 Veterinarian Kathleen Carson from Coast Pet Clinic doesn't doubt the value of psychic communication with animals. 118 00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:50,160 In fact, she highly recommends it. 119 00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:59,160 Because most people are just so agonized when the euthanasia decision comes up of, you know, they have to play God and they don't want to play God. 120 00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:02,160 How can they decide if their animal is to live or die? 121 00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:15,160 And if there's one more way that they can get input from the animal itself as to whether the animal wants to live or die, to me that is just the most welcome thing in the world. 122 00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:20,160 Carol Gurney telepathically communicates with animals for all sorts of reasons. 123 00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:25,160 Lost animals, behavioral problems, even the issue of death. 124 00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:30,160 But the good news about this is that everybody has this ability. 125 00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:33,160 It is not a gift that I have that's special. 126 00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:35,160 We all did it when we were children. 127 00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:37,160 We're born with the skills of telepathy. 128 00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:38,160 It's a universal language. 129 00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:40,160 Do it in the morning. 130 00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:41,160 It's the best time. 131 00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:42,160 They're relaxed. 132 00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:43,160 They've just woken up. 133 00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:47,160 Sitting in a nice comfortable chair, no music, no radio on. 134 00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:49,160 Take lots of deep breaths. 135 00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:51,160 Begin to relax the body. 136 00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:55,160 Breathe into the areas where there's tension so that you can release the tension. 137 00:12:55,160 --> 00:13:01,160 And then as you feel relaxed, sink into your heart center here. 138 00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:07,160 And then just from your heart, just allow yourself to connect with your animal. 139 00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:11,160 Really, really slowly and just feel your animal. 140 00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:14,160 And then from there, ask a question mentally. 141 00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:17,160 Are you willing to communicate with me? 142 00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:19,160 How do you feel physically? 143 00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:24,160 What you do is you just imagine the question, send it out, direct it to that animal, 144 00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:27,160 and then simply wait for a response. 145 00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:28,160 And don't be surprised. 146 00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:32,160 It may come immediately in all different forms. 147 00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:35,160 Words, feelings, impressions, and pictures. 148 00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:38,160 When more and more people are getting in touch with animals, 149 00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:48,160 what they're really doing is they're showing us how to connect back to our own spirituality. 150 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:52,160 When we go out in nature and we touch the hearts of those animals, 151 00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:58,160 when we touch the hearts of the hawks and allow ourselves to be with them, 152 00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:03,160 we are once again touching our spirituality of who we really are. 153 00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:13,160 The World of the Wild 154 00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:21,160 There's no doubt that our surroundings can have an impact on how we feel. 155 00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:28,160 There's an ancient belief that a simple thing as the placement of your furniture can increase your energy. 156 00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:32,160 It's called Feng Shui, the Chinese art of placement. 157 00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:40,160 In ancient China, emperors and people with power controlled the Feng Shui masters. 158 00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:45,160 The Feng Shui art was considered so valuable and so important for the success of the emperor 159 00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:51,160 that all of the Feng Shui masters were kept in the Forbidden Cities, or areas controlled by men of power. 160 00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:59,160 Both major branches of Feng Shui, traditional and transcendental, are based on the Yi Qing, or the Book of Changes. 161 00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:03,160 In the Transcendental or Black Hat Sect of Tibetan Tandric Buddhism, 162 00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:11,160 cures for problems with Qi, call for objects like the Bagua, Crystal Ball or Mira to enhance the circulation of Qi. 163 00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:19,160 David Twicken, a specialist in both traditional and transcendental Feng Shui, came to analyze our offices. 164 00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:27,160 When we evaluate Feng Shui, one of the most important areas in a building is the entryway, the front door entry to a building. 165 00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:37,160 We say that's the mouse of Qi, that the universe will bring the Qi into the business or person's home life through the front door. 166 00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:45,160 So we want everything in the way, direct pathway of the front door to be open and allow the Qi to flow smoothly. 167 00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:53,160 So if we look at this situation here, we see the front door to the building, but we see a building right opposite, within probably 50 feet. 168 00:15:53,160 --> 00:16:01,160 This is creating a blockage from the energy on the other side and around us to be able to come in and nourish this building properly. 169 00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:14,160 The way we would correct it, one way would be to put a crystal ball up here, and if we hang the crystal ball and we do what is called the mudra in the mantra, 170 00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:26,160 to call upon the universe to come and to bring energy and move energy through this building properly so it can be circulated and nourished people would be the proper correction. 171 00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:37,160 Or you could put a mirror, which is curved inward, to attract the universal energy to come in here properly and be nourished. 172 00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:41,160 One key aspect to analyzing Feng Shui is the environment. 173 00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:49,160 So we would look at the buildings and trees and everything around the building we live in or the office we live in. 174 00:16:49,160 --> 00:17:00,160 So if we look at this building here, this big building, and it's sort of much taller than our building, and it kind of like puts down a pressure on our building, 175 00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:06,160 and it blocks the Qi flow from the whole environment from nourishing and nurturing our building properly. 176 00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:10,160 But how important is the solar system or the alignment of the planets? 177 00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:17,160 The solar system and the alignment of the planets is a very, very important aspect of Feng Shui. 178 00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:23,160 It's an area that very, very few teachers know about, very few people know about, even in China. 179 00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:26,160 And it's the deepest portion of Feng Shui. 180 00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:33,160 It's sort of like getting to the DNA, the genetic makeup of the energy or magnetic field in Feng Shui system. 181 00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:41,160 And the way we do that is we utilize an ancient geomancy compass called the Lopan. 182 00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:53,160 And once we determine the inner structure of a building, we align this Lopan up in a certain configuration to tell us the energy field configuration. 183 00:17:53,160 --> 00:18:05,160 So the combination of the alignment of the planets and the solar system at the time the building was constructed with the Lopan reading determines the magnetic field, 184 00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:11,160 the deepest and probably the most important aspect of Feng Shui, traditional Feng Shui. 185 00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:17,160 After the exterior analysis, we went inside the offices to see how everyone was doing. 186 00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:26,160 Then once you make it through the outside of the building and the front door, how important is the interior design? 187 00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:36,160 The interior design and the structure and the layout is vital in the health and the success of the workers in an office environment. 188 00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:43,160 Some general rules are, number one, never have your back to the front door or the entryway. 189 00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:48,160 So we can see here, if somebody is sitting here, their back is to the front door. 190 00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:54,160 So every time somebody walks by or someone comes in, they have to turn around. 191 00:18:54,160 --> 00:19:00,160 So the whole central nervous system is out of whack. They don't know what's going on. They're constantly hearing things. 192 00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:05,160 So they'll be very irritable, very on the edge, not knowing what's going on. 193 00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:15,160 But most importantly, neither of these desks are in what we call structured to be in a power position in the room, in the office. 194 00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:25,160 Because most of what's going on, they're not aware, but if they were to flip this desk around and the person was sitting something like this with the desk out here, 195 00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:30,160 then they see everything that's going on and they're in a position of power and they know what's going on. 196 00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:38,160 It's very, very important for their psyche, for their emotions, for their whole psychology. It changes all the way you are. 197 00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:48,160 One of the basic rules in Feng Shui is never to be in a direct line of an open door, especially at the end of a hallway, because the momentum builds. 198 00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:54,160 So as we see this gentleman in his desk is in the direct pathway, and we call it a dagger or a shah. 199 00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:59,160 We say it's a shah, a negative energy is going to bombard this gentleman. 200 00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:07,160 And things like irritability, anxiousness, edginess, his whole central nervous system will be out of balance and out of whack. 201 00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:14,160 After Howard's evaluation, I was a little nervous about my office. We checked it out though. Everything was okay. 202 00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:28,160 The Universal Life Force is the energy within every person, animal and thing throughout the universe. 203 00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:34,160 The existence of this energy has been a part of human culture since ancient times. 204 00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:42,160 It is known to the Hindus as Prana, to the Polynesians as Manna, and the Chinese call it Qi. 205 00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:48,160 The Chinese concept includes the idea of Yin and Yang, light and dark, active and passive. 206 00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:54,160 Balancing the Yin and Yang is important for good health. 207 00:20:54,160 --> 00:21:01,160 It's fascinating how even small changes in one's environment can alter one's outlook. 208 00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:06,160 If you believe, do you believe? 209 00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:12,160 I'm Patrick McNeed. Join me next time for more mysteries, magic and miracles.
