mentioned and his team of 141 00:05:24,790 --> 00:05:21,919 electrical engineers 142 00:05:26,629 --> 00:05:24,800 optical physicists software programmers 143 00:05:28,310 --> 00:05:26,639 and evidential mediums 144 00:05:30,629 --> 00:05:28,320 at the university of arizona's 145 00:05:31,670 --> 00:05:30,639 laboratory for advances in consciousness 146 00:05:34,870 --> 00:05:31,680 and health 147 00:05:37,990 --> 00:05:34,880 he's been working for 16 years to 148 00:05:41,430 --> 00:05:38,000 capture the signal of spirit and 149 00:05:44,629 --> 00:05:41,440 the trick is capturing their signal 150 00:05:47,590 --> 00:05:44,639 amidst the noise 151 00:05:49,590 --> 00:05:47,600 there are four anticipated devices right 152 00:05:51,749 --> 00:05:49,600 now we are working on the soul 153 00:05:53,189 --> 00:05:51,759 switch we say which is a binary 154 00:05:56,790 --> 00:05:53,199 indicator 155 00:05:58,710 --> 00:05:56,800 for yes no answers from those living in 156 00:06:00,390 --> 00:05:58,720 the next realm what we call post 157 00:06:01,990 --> 00:06:00,400 material persons 158 00:06:03,510 --> 00:06:02,000 quick side note we don't call them 159 00:06:05,110 --> 00:06:03,520 spirits we 160 00:06:06,870 --> 00:06:05,120 definitely don't call them dead or 161 00:06:08,070 --> 00:06:06,880 departed or deceased because they're 162 00:06:10,710 --> 00:06:08,080 none of that 163 00:06:12,629 --> 00:06:10,720 it turns out and we know this from a 164 00:06:15,510 --> 00:06:12,639 series of different experiments 165 00:06:16,710 --> 00:06:15,520 they are just as physical as we or can 166 00:06:18,070 --> 00:06:16,720 be if they wish 167 00:06:19,990 --> 00:06:18,080 there's good evidence they can 168 00:06:22,390 --> 00:06:20,000 multilocate they can 169 00:06:24,309 --> 00:06:22,400 be pure energy or they can manifest in 170 00:06:27,430 --> 00:06:24,319 physical form so we call them 171 00:06:28,790 --> 00:06:27,440 post material persons and those of us 172 00:06:32,309 --> 00:06:28,800 who are living on earth 173 00:06:34,230 --> 00:06:32,319 material persons so the switch 174 00:06:35,749 --> 00:06:34,240 the soul switch then allows them to 175 00:06:37,749 --> 00:06:35,759 answer yes no 176 00:06:39,510 --> 00:06:37,759 we've been using what we call the plasma 177 00:06:43,110 --> 00:06:39,520 globe system which uses a 178 00:06:45,189 --> 00:06:43,120 tesla coil to to measure 179 00:06:46,950 --> 00:06:45,199 their signal and seven different 180 00:06:49,510 --> 00:06:46,960 experiments have clearly 181 00:06:51,029 --> 00:06:49,520 shown their accuracy in doing this we've 182 00:06:53,430 --> 00:06:51,039 collected over 1 183 00:06:54,790 --> 00:06:53,440 trillion bits of information in 184 00:06:58,950 --> 00:06:54,800 something like 185 00:07:01,909 --> 00:06:58,960 excuse me 4500 sessions with them 186 00:07:02,950 --> 00:07:01,919 over the last year however the plasma 187 00:07:05,830 --> 00:07:02,960 globe system 188 00:07:07,510 --> 00:07:05,840 isn't commercializable it's too large 189 00:07:09,909 --> 00:07:07,520 and so now we're working on 190 00:07:10,629 --> 00:07:09,919 what's called the electronic sole switch 191 00:07:13,350 --> 00:07:10,639 which 192 00:07:14,309 --> 00:07:13,360 could be the size eventually of a cell 193 00:07:17,670 --> 00:07:14,319 phone 194 00:07:20,870 --> 00:07:17,680 which would allow 98 accurate 195 00:07:21,270 --> 00:07:20,880 instantaneous yes no answers however 196 00:07:24,550 --> 00:07:21,280 even 197 00:07:27,110 --> 00:07:24,560 that amazing as it is isn't considered 198 00:07:28,950 --> 00:07:27,120 to be a commercializable device the main 199 00:07:31,909 --> 00:07:28,960 use for the sole switch 200 00:07:33,029 --> 00:07:31,919 is to connect about 40 of those in 201 00:07:35,990 --> 00:07:33,039 parallel 202 00:07:37,749 --> 00:07:36,000 and create a soul keyboard just like we 203 00:07:40,870 --> 00:07:37,759 have 40 some keys on 204 00:07:41,909 --> 00:07:40,880 the laptop in front of you that then 205 00:07:45,029 --> 00:07:41,919 will allow much 206 00:07:49,749 --> 00:07:45,039 greater quality and quantity of input 207 00:07:52,150 --> 00:07:49,759 from what we call our a-team 30 or so 208 00:07:54,230 --> 00:07:52,160 post-material luminaries people like 209 00:07:57,589 --> 00:07:54,240 carl sagan and nikola tesla 210 00:07:59,589 --> 00:07:57,599 einstein edison david bowman others 211 00:08:01,909 --> 00:07:59,599 who have been feeding pieces of 212 00:08:02,710 --> 00:08:01,919 information via evidential mediums to 213 00:08:04,629 --> 00:08:02,720 date 214 00:08:07,270 --> 00:08:04,639 but even the best evidential mediums 215 00:08:08,230 --> 00:08:07,280 have off days monkey mind gets involved 216 00:08:10,469 --> 00:08:08,240 etc 217 00:08:11,430 --> 00:08:10,479 so once we have the keyboard to allow 218 00:08:13,189 --> 00:08:11,440 substantial 219 00:08:15,430 --> 00:08:13,199 input of quality and quantity of 220 00:08:17,909 --> 00:08:15,440 information then 221 00:08:19,110 --> 00:08:17,919 the creation of the last two devices 222 00:08:21,350 --> 00:08:19,120 soul voice 223 00:08:23,029 --> 00:08:21,360 like talking on the cell phone soul 224 00:08:26,309 --> 00:08:23,039 video like we're doing now 225 00:08:28,070 --> 00:08:26,319 facetime zoom skype should be 226 00:08:29,909 --> 00:08:28,080 possible so this is happening in our 227 00:08:32,870 --> 00:08:29,919 time 228 00:08:34,389 --> 00:08:32,880 for communicating with our quote 229 00:08:37,029 --> 00:08:34,399 departed loved ones 230 00:08:38,389 --> 00:08:37,039 but also tapping into those luminaries 231 00:08:41,909 --> 00:08:38,399 who want to help us 232 00:08:46,630 --> 00:08:44,389 boy man i i don't know where to begin 233 00:08:48,550 --> 00:08:46,640 because i have so many 234 00:08:49,990 --> 00:08:48,560 you kind of get me riled up with a lot 235 00:08:51,910 --> 00:08:50,000 of that stuff so i 236 00:08:54,389 --> 00:08:51,920 will just kind of take it one step at a 237 00:08:55,030 --> 00:08:54,399 time like i said you know before we got 238 00:08:57,030 --> 00:08:55,040 on air 239 00:08:58,790 --> 00:08:57,040 i i've known gary schwartz for a long 240 00:09:00,949 --> 00:08:58,800 time talked to him years ago 241 00:09:02,150 --> 00:09:00,959 have interviewed julie boschel on this 242 00:09:04,310 --> 00:09:02,160 show uh 243 00:09:05,670 --> 00:09:04,320 many times have interviewed some of the 244 00:09:09,190 --> 00:09:05,680 mediums who are 245 00:09:11,590 --> 00:09:09,200 in your uh panel of advisors 246 00:09:12,870 --> 00:09:11,600 so i'm very familiar with the topic very 247 00:09:16,949 --> 00:09:12,880 familiar with the area 248 00:09:19,829 --> 00:09:16,959 i am super impressed i think the most 249 00:09:22,710 --> 00:09:19,839 amazing thing uh what you guys are doing 250 00:09:25,829 --> 00:09:22,720 is you're essentially doing the next 251 00:09:29,269 --> 00:09:25,839 version of the double slit experiment so 252 00:09:33,190 --> 00:09:29,279 in terms of just where it is in 253 00:09:36,870 --> 00:09:33,200 in further solidifying or falsifying 254 00:09:39,430 --> 00:09:36,880 materialism i think is phenomenal 255 00:09:41,509 --> 00:09:39,440 it's an extension of dean rayden's uh uh 256 00:09:42,070 --> 00:09:41,519 double slit experiment of a meditator 257 00:09:43,350 --> 00:09:42,080 because you 258 00:09:44,790 --> 00:09:43,360 what you guys are doing maybe we should 259 00:09:46,389 --> 00:09:44,800 talk a little bit about that before i 260 00:09:48,230 --> 00:09:46,399 hammer on you on 261 00:09:50,389 --> 00:09:48,240 michael jackson's reach around and why 262 00:09:52,949 --> 00:09:50,399 he'd be on your a-team and 263 00:09:54,630 --> 00:09:52,959 why god needs our help with your cell 264 00:09:57,670 --> 00:09:54,640 phone and your commercialized 265 00:09:59,190 --> 00:09:57,680 soul switch before we get there let's 266 00:10:00,630 --> 00:09:59,200 talk about the device 267 00:10:03,110 --> 00:10:00,640 because i think people who are 268 00:10:06,470 --> 00:10:03,120 interested scientifically 269 00:10:09,509 --> 00:10:06,480 a photon beam and a camera 270 00:10:10,389 --> 00:10:09,519 are the technology that are now within 271 00:10:12,550 --> 00:10:10,399 reach 272 00:10:14,150 --> 00:10:12,560 economically to kind of make some of 273 00:10:17,430 --> 00:10:14,160 this stuff viable 274 00:10:20,550 --> 00:10:17,440 explain to people the basic setup for 275 00:10:23,910 --> 00:10:20,560 why you would even be so bold 276 00:10:27,030 --> 00:10:23,920 to suggest you could do this stuff 277 00:10:28,949 --> 00:10:27,040 well first of all because as mentioned 278 00:10:30,069 --> 00:10:28,959 seven different experiments yielding a 279 00:10:33,190 --> 00:10:30,079 ton of data 280 00:10:35,110 --> 00:10:33,200 have indicated and 281 00:10:37,110 --> 00:10:35,120 the the terms we have to use and there's 282 00:10:40,389 --> 00:10:37,120 a long list are 283 00:10:43,509 --> 00:10:40,399 these uh research experiments are 284 00:10:46,630 --> 00:10:43,519 replicated which means they've been um 285 00:10:49,509 --> 00:10:46,640 done by other people in other centers 286 00:10:50,550 --> 00:10:49,519 they are controlled which means anytime 287 00:10:54,069 --> 00:10:50,560 we allow 288 00:10:56,550 --> 00:10:54,079 a post material participant to 289 00:10:58,630 --> 00:10:56,560 signal an answer ask them a yes or no 290 00:11:01,430 --> 00:10:58,640 there's a corresponding baseline 291 00:11:02,310 --> 00:11:01,440 period control where nobody is doing 292 00:11:04,230 --> 00:11:02,320 anything so 293 00:11:05,350 --> 00:11:04,240 for each experiment we can see the 294 00:11:07,509 --> 00:11:05,360 difference between 295 00:11:11,110 --> 00:11:07,519 baseline which is kind of like the 296 00:11:12,310 --> 00:11:11,120 horizontal axis flat line eeg or ekg not 297 00:11:15,350 --> 00:11:12,320 much happening 298 00:11:17,750 --> 00:11:15,360 versus the spikes when they 299 00:11:19,430 --> 00:11:17,760 touch the particular device to answer 300 00:11:22,150 --> 00:11:19,440 yes or no 301 00:11:24,389 --> 00:11:22,160 this research is also double-blinded 302 00:11:26,870 --> 00:11:24,399 sometimes dr schwartz 303 00:11:28,069 --> 00:11:26,880 uh doesn't know who's going to be 304 00:11:31,430 --> 00:11:28,079 involved 305 00:11:34,470 --> 00:11:31,440 when at which lab and so on and 306 00:11:36,790 --> 00:11:34,480 finally it's peer-reviewed been 307 00:11:41,509 --> 00:11:36,800 published in peer-reviewed 308 00:11:43,910 --> 00:11:41,519 scientific journals in 2010-2011 309 00:11:44,790 --> 00:11:43,920 most recently an explorer coming out 310 00:11:46,710 --> 00:11:44,800 this year 311 00:11:48,389 --> 00:11:46,720 and the seminal paper being written 312 00:11:51,750 --> 00:11:48,399 right now hopefully for 313 00:11:55,430 --> 00:11:51,760 science advances so there's been 314 00:11:56,949 --> 00:11:55,440 real scientific research and 315 00:11:58,629 --> 00:11:56,959 you know alex a lot of people have 316 00:12:01,430 --> 00:11:58,639 beliefs about whether there is an 317 00:12:04,310 --> 00:12:01,440 afterlife or how some of this works 318 00:12:05,030 --> 00:12:04,320 but the true scientist has to follow the 319 00:12:09,350 --> 00:12:05,040 data 320 00:12:13,110 --> 00:12:09,360 this clear of a 321 00:12:15,030 --> 00:12:13,120 picture then one needs to follow that 322 00:12:16,790 --> 00:12:15,040 i'll pop up on the screen here for 323 00:12:18,310 --> 00:12:16,800 people here and i'm going to refer to 324 00:12:18,949 --> 00:12:18,320 this a couple times because it's got 325 00:12:21,030 --> 00:12:18,959 some good 326 00:12:22,230 --> 00:12:21,040 stuff in it it's a press release that 327 00:12:25,670 --> 00:12:22,240 you guys issued 328 00:12:27,590 --> 00:12:25,680 a couple years ago in 2017 and i like 329 00:12:29,350 --> 00:12:27,600 you know so again you have multiple 330 00:12:31,110 --> 00:12:29,360 kinds of experiments mark that you've 331 00:12:33,509 --> 00:12:31,120 done and that gary has done 332 00:12:35,509 --> 00:12:33,519 in case people are interested in coming 333 00:12:37,190 --> 00:12:35,519 at this from purely a physics 334 00:12:40,790 --> 00:12:37,200 perspective 335 00:12:43,350 --> 00:12:40,800 one of the most elegant beautiful 336 00:12:44,230 --> 00:12:43,360 physics experiments in the world is the 337 00:12:47,670 --> 00:12:44,240 double slit 338 00:12:49,430 --> 00:12:47,680 experiment where a photon beam is 339 00:12:50,870 --> 00:12:49,440 shot through and it either becomes 340 00:12:52,949 --> 00:12:50,880 everybody knows the experiment it's 341 00:12:55,350 --> 00:12:52,959 either a wave or a pattern 342 00:12:56,230 --> 00:12:55,360 based on whether there is an observer 343 00:12:59,110 --> 00:12:56,240 and all this 344 00:13:01,350 --> 00:12:59,120 implies that consciousness is somehow 345 00:13:02,629 --> 00:13:01,360 fundamental and that the standard model 346 00:13:05,110 --> 00:13:02,639 of materialism 347 00:13:05,750 --> 00:13:05,120 fails and the early experiments that you 348 00:13:09,829 --> 00:13:05,760 did 349 00:13:12,389 --> 00:13:09,839 was setting up a photon beam in a lab 350 00:13:14,550 --> 00:13:12,399 and shooting a camera at it so that you 351 00:13:18,389 --> 00:13:14,560 could watch that photon beam 352 00:13:22,230 --> 00:13:18,399 and then doing your thing in terms of 353 00:13:25,030 --> 00:13:22,240 querying these hypothesized 354 00:13:27,670 --> 00:13:25,040 entities in this extended consciousness 355 00:13:29,590 --> 00:13:27,680 realm and getting them to answer it 356 00:13:30,949 --> 00:13:29,600 you may be right about the details of 357 00:13:33,350 --> 00:13:30,959 that alex 358 00:13:35,190 --> 00:13:33,360 but it was before my time on i've been 359 00:13:37,910 --> 00:13:35,200 with gary now for four years 360 00:13:38,710 --> 00:13:37,920 the the photon beam experiment that he 361 00:13:42,470 --> 00:13:38,720 was doing 362 00:13:45,750 --> 00:13:42,480 at that time involved a photon beam 363 00:13:49,110 --> 00:13:45,760 or a laser beam going from 364 00:13:49,509 --> 00:13:49,120 point a to point b and a sensor measured 365 00:13:51,829 --> 00:13:49,519 in 366 00:13:53,829 --> 00:13:51,839 how long it took and the table is pretty 367 00:13:54,389 --> 00:13:53,839 long like 10 feet long but it was in 368 00:13:57,509 --> 00:13:54,399 nano 369 00:13:59,829 --> 00:13:57,519 seconds then a 370 00:14:01,990 --> 00:13:59,839 the control was of course nobody is in 371 00:14:05,269 --> 00:14:02,000 the room nobody's doing anything so we 372 00:14:08,310 --> 00:14:05,279 know that set time then for the 373 00:14:11,350 --> 00:14:08,320 human angle on things 374 00:14:13,030 --> 00:14:11,360 we put a human hand through the beam or 375 00:14:15,750 --> 00:14:13,040 a plexiglass 376 00:14:16,629 --> 00:14:15,760 hand through the beam and showed a 377 00:14:18,949 --> 00:14:16,639 marked 378 00:14:20,949 --> 00:14:18,959 decrease in the time it took to get from 379 00:14:23,509 --> 00:14:20,959 point a to point b 380 00:14:24,710 --> 00:14:23,519 then one of the quote spirit 381 00:14:27,670 --> 00:14:24,720 participants 382 00:14:28,949 --> 00:14:27,680 put their hand through again because 383 00:14:32,470 --> 00:14:28,959 they still have 384 00:14:34,790 --> 00:14:32,480 density or can have and indeed it was 385 00:14:35,590 --> 00:14:34,800 less than a human or plexiglass of 386 00:14:38,550 --> 00:14:35,600 course they're 387 00:14:41,189 --> 00:14:38,560 in another dimension hello but it was 388 00:14:44,310 --> 00:14:41,199 highly statistically significant 389 00:14:45,430 --> 00:14:44,320 versus the control groups perfect that's 390 00:14:47,829 --> 00:14:45,440 that's great so that's 391 00:14:48,790 --> 00:14:47,839 and that's just one of the experiments 392 00:14:50,389 --> 00:14:48,800 and there's a bunch of different 393 00:14:53,269 --> 00:14:50,399 experiments that have been done 394 00:14:55,030 --> 00:14:53,279 and as you said they've been replicated 395 00:14:57,189 --> 00:14:55,040 across multiple labs 396 00:14:59,350 --> 00:14:57,199 completely flies in the face of a 397 00:15:01,110 --> 00:14:59,360 materialistic explanation for that again 398 00:15:01,590 --> 00:15:01,120 you guys are playing by the rules right 399 00:15:04,150 --> 00:15:01,600 so 400 00:15:05,509 --> 00:15:04,160 science says sets it up and says these 401 00:15:06,150 --> 00:15:05,519 are the rules this is how you would 402 00:15:08,310 --> 00:15:06,160 determine 403 00:15:10,069 --> 00:15:08,320 whether you know you can measure things 404 00:15:12,389 --> 00:15:10,079 and in that way 405 00:15:15,030 --> 00:15:12,399 you did that so we're beyond that but 406 00:15:18,389 --> 00:15:15,040 here's where the problem gets in 407 00:15:21,509 --> 00:15:18,399 all the other stuff you've said is 408 00:15:24,310 --> 00:15:21,519 an interpretation of that that not 409 00:15:24,949 --> 00:15:24,320 everyone's on board with i mean even 410 00:15:27,030 --> 00:15:24,959 take 411 00:15:28,790 --> 00:15:27,040 dr julie bishol over at the windbridge 412 00:15:30,470 --> 00:15:28,800 institute they've been doing this for a 413 00:15:32,790 --> 00:15:30,480 long time with mediums 414 00:15:33,829 --> 00:15:32,800 they're not coming to exactly the same 415 00:15:36,470 --> 00:15:33,839 conclusions 416 00:15:37,350 --> 00:15:36,480 you talk to mediums mediums they're 417 00:15:39,030 --> 00:15:37,360 coming to all 418 00:15:40,230 --> 00:15:39,040 i've interviewed them on this show even 419 00:15:41,509 --> 00:15:40,240 the ones who are doing this as 420 00:15:44,150 --> 00:15:41,519 scientifically as i can 421 00:15:46,230 --> 00:15:44,160 as they can they're coming to all sorts 422 00:15:49,189 --> 00:15:46,240 of different conclusions about 423 00:15:51,110 --> 00:15:49,199 how these extended realms work who is 424 00:15:53,430 --> 00:15:51,120 involved in these extended realms 425 00:15:55,110 --> 00:15:53,440 and i think a lot of people would be 426 00:15:58,629 --> 00:15:55,120 very hesitant to say 427 00:15:59,350 --> 00:15:58,639 that your a team with uh michael jackson 428 00:16:05,110 --> 00:15:59,360 and uh 429 00:16:08,150 --> 00:16:05,120 sir arthur conan doyle that you are 430 00:16:09,110 --> 00:16:08,160 really connecting with those we don't 431 00:16:11,030 --> 00:16:09,120 even know what 432 00:16:13,030 --> 00:16:11,040 what to what those spirit beings would 433 00:16:14,790 --> 00:16:13,040 begin to to 434 00:16:16,310 --> 00:16:14,800 we can't even you don't like my term 435 00:16:19,189 --> 00:16:16,320 spirit being i had a 436 00:16:21,110 --> 00:16:19,199 spirit being i don't like whatever term 437 00:16:23,590 --> 00:16:21,120 you're associating with it 438 00:16:24,310 --> 00:16:23,600 we just do we really know enough about 439 00:16:27,189 --> 00:16:24,320 to start 440 00:16:29,110 --> 00:16:27,199 saying that stuff so i don't know matter 441 00:16:31,030 --> 00:16:29,120 of factly 442 00:16:32,949 --> 00:16:31,040 that's a fair question first of all 443 00:16:33,990 --> 00:16:32,959 people need to understand that the 444 00:16:36,550 --> 00:16:34,000 research 445 00:16:37,030 --> 00:16:36,560 of dr schwartz the university of arizona 446 00:16:39,990 --> 00:16:37,040 is 447 00:16:41,189 --> 00:16:40,000 as far as we know the only truly 448 00:16:43,430 --> 00:16:41,199 scientific 449 00:16:44,710 --> 00:16:43,440 replicated control double-blind all that 450 00:16:46,790 --> 00:16:44,720 that i mentioned 451 00:16:47,749 --> 00:16:46,800 research being done the others you 452 00:16:50,790 --> 00:16:47,759 mentioned 453 00:16:52,310 --> 00:16:50,800 are mediumistic research and some 454 00:16:54,389 --> 00:16:52,320 mediums or rock stars 455 00:16:56,870 --> 00:16:54,399 yeah it was how dr schwartz got into 456 00:16:59,269 --> 00:16:56,880 this area when he after he left yale and 457 00:17:00,710 --> 00:16:59,279 came to university of arizona 20 some 458 00:17:03,030 --> 00:17:00,720 years ago 459 00:17:05,189 --> 00:17:03,040 documenting that some mediums are very 460 00:17:07,829 --> 00:17:05,199 highly evidential but again 461 00:17:09,590 --> 00:17:07,839 some of those have bad days make 462 00:17:13,189 --> 00:17:09,600 mistakes etc 463 00:17:15,189 --> 00:17:13,199 but to answer the question of how we 464 00:17:19,029 --> 00:17:15,199 have a very high degree of certainty 465 00:17:22,150 --> 00:17:19,039 about who we're dealing with 466 00:17:24,069 --> 00:17:22,160 first of all about 10 467 00:17:25,750 --> 00:17:24,079 of the evidential mediums and you 468 00:17:29,029 --> 00:17:25,760 probably know them all 469 00:17:31,590 --> 00:17:29,039 the gary research in the late 1990s 470 00:17:32,230 --> 00:17:31,600 became colleagues and this is really how 471 00:17:35,029 --> 00:17:32,240 all this 472 00:17:36,470 --> 00:17:35,039 launched they started independently 473 00:17:39,750 --> 00:17:36,480 saying 474 00:17:41,990 --> 00:17:39,760 gary albert einstein keeps coming to me 475 00:17:43,669 --> 00:17:42,000 and he keeps telling me that you need to 476 00:17:46,230 --> 00:17:43,679 create technology 477 00:17:47,110 --> 00:17:46,240 to allow widespread communication 478 00:17:49,830 --> 00:17:47,120 between 479 00:17:50,950 --> 00:17:49,840 dimensions and so that's how i got 480 00:17:54,310 --> 00:17:50,960 started on it 481 00:17:56,390 --> 00:17:54,320 so that's one clue secondly 482 00:17:57,750 --> 00:17:56,400 we have developed a series of tests the 483 00:17:59,430 --> 00:17:57,760 first is called the personal 484 00:18:02,789 --> 00:17:59,440 identification test 485 00:18:05,110 --> 00:18:02,799 in which we ask 20 questions 10 486 00:18:06,950 --> 00:18:05,120 for which the answer should be no 10 the 487 00:18:09,270 --> 00:18:06,960 answer should be yes 488 00:18:10,710 --> 00:18:09,280 again we have control period where 489 00:18:13,669 --> 00:18:10,720 nothing is happening 490 00:18:13,990 --> 00:18:13,679 but they're hitting 80 percent accuracy 491 00:18:17,110 --> 00:18:14,000 and we 492 00:18:17,590 --> 00:18:17,120 consider that the other 20 is not that 493 00:18:19,669 --> 00:18:17,600 they're 494 00:18:21,830 --> 00:18:19,679 wrong about where they grew up or what 495 00:18:24,950 --> 00:18:21,840 their mom or dad's name was 496 00:18:27,510 --> 00:18:24,960 it's just the limitations in our uh 497 00:18:29,350 --> 00:18:27,520 tech our technology right now to measure 498 00:18:31,830 --> 00:18:29,360 their signals accurately 499 00:18:33,110 --> 00:18:31,840 the next test is called the expert 500 00:18:37,350 --> 00:18:33,120 knowledge test 501 00:18:40,150 --> 00:18:37,360 where we show a very rarely known 502 00:18:41,029 --> 00:18:40,160 very arcane piece of information for 503 00:18:44,390 --> 00:18:41,039 example 504 00:18:46,710 --> 00:18:44,400 part of albert dr einstein's 505 00:18:47,669 --> 00:18:46,720 theory of relativity i mean something no 506 00:18:49,830 --> 00:18:47,679 one would know and 507 00:18:53,190 --> 00:18:49,840 no one would certainly understand and 508 00:18:56,310 --> 00:18:53,200 show this on the computer screen and say 509 00:18:58,549 --> 00:18:56,320 einstein please signal yes if this is 510 00:19:01,110 --> 00:18:58,559 part of your theory of relativity 511 00:19:01,909 --> 00:19:01,120 or if it's worked by another prominent 512 00:19:05,110 --> 00:19:01,919 physicist 513 00:19:07,590 --> 00:19:05,120 back then the answer should be no so 514 00:19:08,830 --> 00:19:07,600 by doing a series of tests like this and 515 00:19:11,669 --> 00:19:08,840 all this 516 00:19:15,110 --> 00:19:11,679 independent evidential medium 517 00:19:18,310 --> 00:19:15,120 corroboration personal identity test 518 00:19:19,909 --> 00:19:18,320 the the expert knowledge test we have a 519 00:19:22,230 --> 00:19:19,919 high degree of certainty but we would 520 00:19:23,990 --> 00:19:22,240 never say we have absolute proof 521 00:19:26,710 --> 00:19:24,000 we definitively know who we're dealing 522 00:19:28,870 --> 00:19:26,720 with that appears who are dealing with 523 00:19:29,990 --> 00:19:28,880 one last thing on that at this point 524 00:19:33,830 --> 00:19:30,000 we're actually not 525 00:19:36,310 --> 00:19:33,840 talking about the a team much you know 526 00:19:37,990 --> 00:19:36,320 gary and his wife rhonda who's an 527 00:19:41,669 --> 00:19:38,000 evidential medium we're trying 528 00:19:44,390 --> 00:19:41,679 to be transparent share all this 529 00:19:45,350 --> 00:19:44,400 and years ago again before i came on 530 00:19:47,270 --> 00:19:45,360 board 531 00:19:49,029 --> 00:19:47,280 they were ridiculed and criticized 532 00:19:51,909 --> 00:19:49,039 pretty heavily oh really you know 533 00:19:55,990 --> 00:19:51,919 michael jackson harry houdini 534 00:19:56,789 --> 00:19:56,000 and so a few years ago they said you 535 00:19:59,350 --> 00:19:56,799 know what 536 00:20:01,510 --> 00:19:59,360 we are not going to talk about more 537 00:20:02,310 --> 00:20:01,520 because we are getting closer and closer 538 00:20:05,350 --> 00:20:02,320 every day 539 00:20:08,710 --> 00:20:05,360 to letting them speak for themselves 540 00:20:12,070 --> 00:20:08,720 uh letting them type through messages 541 00:20:12,549 --> 00:20:12,080 letting them do webinars and then they 542 00:20:14,310 --> 00:20:12,559 can 543 00:20:17,669 --> 00:20:14,320 explain a lot of these questions for 544 00:20:20,070 --> 00:20:17,679 themselves so it's really a side track 545 00:20:20,789 --> 00:20:20,080 but mark i mean the the problems here 546 00:20:23,830 --> 00:20:20,799 are almost 547 00:20:26,870 --> 00:20:23,840 too many to even start with 548 00:20:28,870 --> 00:20:26,880 but you're the guys who open that up 549 00:20:30,549 --> 00:20:28,880 what why why do you think you can open 550 00:20:33,190 --> 00:20:30,559 up the door and say 551 00:20:35,110 --> 00:20:33,200 trust us we know what we're doing we 552 00:20:36,630 --> 00:20:35,120 talked to the a-team and by the way the 553 00:20:39,270 --> 00:20:36,640 a-team 554 00:20:40,470 --> 00:20:39,280 includes middle michael jackson who you 555 00:20:43,270 --> 00:20:40,480 know the 556 00:20:44,549 --> 00:20:43,280 jesus juice reach around pedophile 557 00:20:47,510 --> 00:20:44,559 michael jackson 558 00:20:48,470 --> 00:20:47,520 he's on the a-team right so he's he's 559 00:20:50,549 --> 00:20:48,480 one of the 18 560 00:20:51,669 --> 00:20:50,559 guys i think you are going to get a lot 561 00:20:52,789 --> 00:20:51,679 of heat for that 562 00:20:55,029 --> 00:20:52,799 just like you're going to get a lot of 563 00:21:00,070 --> 00:20:55,039 heat for the idea that that 564 00:21:03,750 --> 00:21:03,430 you're you're somehow validating a form 565 00:21:06,950 --> 00:21:03,760 that 566 00:21:09,909 --> 00:21:06,960 we don't we can't even begin to describe 567 00:21:10,310 --> 00:21:09,919 what this form of consciousness is in 568 00:21:13,110 --> 00:21:10,320 this 569 00:21:15,510 --> 00:21:13,120 extended realm it seems to me like like 570 00:21:18,549 --> 00:21:15,520 i like to call it backdoor materialism 571 00:21:19,029 --> 00:21:18,559 it's like okay guys we're past this idea 572 00:21:21,590 --> 00:21:19,039 of 573 00:21:23,190 --> 00:21:21,600 materialism and you know everything is 574 00:21:25,590 --> 00:21:23,200 building blocks and 575 00:21:26,950 --> 00:21:25,600 we're meaningless robots and then you're 576 00:21:29,190 --> 00:21:26,960 starting to make all these 577 00:21:30,070 --> 00:21:29,200 assumptions about how the extended 578 00:21:33,110 --> 00:21:30,080 consciousness 579 00:21:35,830 --> 00:21:33,120 realm works i mean i don't get how you 580 00:21:38,470 --> 00:21:35,840 can do that so let's we'll start 581 00:21:39,590 --> 00:21:38,480 with the 18 michael jackson thing so a 582 00:21:42,470 --> 00:21:39,600 lot of people 583 00:21:43,190 --> 00:21:42,480 have serious questions legitimate 584 00:21:46,630 --> 00:21:43,200 questions 585 00:21:48,549 --> 00:21:46,640 about the moral standards of this one 586 00:21:50,310 --> 00:21:48,559 individual 587 00:21:51,669 --> 00:21:50,320 a lot of people wouldn't think he'd be 588 00:21:53,590 --> 00:21:51,679 on the good side 589 00:21:55,669 --> 00:21:53,600 over on that other realm that he might 590 00:21:57,990 --> 00:21:55,679 be on that other side 591 00:21:58,870 --> 00:21:58,000 why would we trust michael jackson why 592 00:22:01,190 --> 00:21:58,880 would we trust 593 00:22:02,870 --> 00:22:01,200 the spirit entity that is coming through 594 00:22:04,789 --> 00:22:02,880 is it identifying themselves as 595 00:22:06,230 --> 00:22:04,799 michael jackson even if they know all 596 00:22:07,909 --> 00:22:06,240 the personal information 597 00:22:10,710 --> 00:22:07,919 and are somehow getting all the rest of 598 00:22:12,710 --> 00:22:10,720 that well first of all you made a 599 00:22:13,190 --> 00:22:12,720 statement earlier we're asking people to 600 00:22:16,070 --> 00:22:13,200 trust 601 00:22:17,190 --> 00:22:16,080 us we're not in fact we're not doing 602 00:22:20,310 --> 00:22:17,200 much media 603 00:22:22,230 --> 00:22:20,320 outreach right now for this very reason 604 00:22:23,830 --> 00:22:22,240 because we're waiting until we have the 605 00:22:26,149 --> 00:22:23,840 multi-center studies 606 00:22:27,590 --> 00:22:26,159 involving six different universities and 607 00:22:30,149 --> 00:22:27,600 institutes 608 00:22:32,230 --> 00:22:30,159 and other things in place before we do 609 00:22:34,070 --> 00:22:32,240 the public demonstration others we could 610 00:22:36,149 --> 00:22:34,080 talk about all day alex 611 00:22:39,029 --> 00:22:36,159 but it's another whole another thing to 612 00:22:42,070 --> 00:22:39,039 see the public demonstrations 613 00:22:45,110 --> 00:22:42,080 verified by skeptical scientists 614 00:22:47,750 --> 00:22:45,120 independent uh people that it's 615 00:22:49,510 --> 00:22:47,760 all above board what would they be 616 00:22:55,270 --> 00:22:49,520 verifying 617 00:22:55,990 --> 00:22:55,280 in other words looking at the control 618 00:22:57,830 --> 00:22:56,000 looking at 619 00:22:59,510 --> 00:22:57,840 when we're purportedly measuring the 620 00:23:02,310 --> 00:22:59,520 signal of spirit 621 00:23:03,430 --> 00:23:02,320 and making sure that there's no trickery 622 00:23:05,909 --> 00:23:03,440 involved 623 00:23:07,110 --> 00:23:05,919 everything is above board just like dr 624 00:23:09,350 --> 00:23:07,120 schwartz did was 625 00:23:11,510 --> 00:23:09,360 with his uh evidential medium 626 00:23:14,230 --> 00:23:11,520 experiments as described in this book 627 00:23:16,070 --> 00:23:14,240 the afterlife experiment so again we're 628 00:23:17,830 --> 00:23:16,080 not trusting anybody and we're being 629 00:23:19,750 --> 00:23:17,840 very selective about 630 00:23:21,110 --> 00:23:19,760 doing interviews and probably won't do 631 00:23:23,750 --> 00:23:21,120 any more because 632 00:23:24,950 --> 00:23:23,760 until we're ready for all that because 633 00:23:28,149 --> 00:23:24,960 um 634 00:23:30,070 --> 00:23:28,159 we are you know we are not trying to 635 00:23:31,430 --> 00:23:30,080 describe the nature of reality the only 636 00:23:33,630 --> 00:23:31,440 thing we will say 637 00:23:35,430 --> 00:23:33,640 with absolute certainty and actually 638 00:23:38,470 --> 00:23:35,440 99.9 639 00:23:40,630 --> 00:23:38,480 certainty is that 640 00:23:42,549 --> 00:23:40,640 life continues after bodily death that's 641 00:23:43,510 --> 00:23:42,559 been indicated by these replicated 642 00:23:46,710 --> 00:23:43,520 experiments 643 00:23:48,830 --> 00:23:46,720 and at least some post material persons 644 00:23:49,990 --> 00:23:48,840 have demonstrated their ability to 645 00:23:53,909 --> 00:23:50,000 communicate 646 00:23:55,909 --> 00:23:53,919 and their memory of earthly events in 647 00:23:58,390 --> 00:23:55,919 other words we do tests where we say 648 00:24:00,470 --> 00:23:58,400 is this a giraffe yes or no is this a 649 00:24:01,430 --> 00:24:00,480 jet plane yes or no so they remember 650 00:24:05,590 --> 00:24:01,440 that 651 00:24:07,590 --> 00:24:05,600 as far as michael you have to understand 652 00:24:08,630 --> 00:24:07,600 as an open mind and intelligent person 653 00:24:10,870 --> 00:24:08,640 that you are 654 00:24:12,310 --> 00:24:10,880 that there's all kinds of evidence out 655 00:24:14,390 --> 00:24:12,320 there some 656 00:24:15,990 --> 00:24:14,400 horrible toward him that would yes make 657 00:24:18,390 --> 00:24:16,000 you think he's a pedophile 658 00:24:20,070 --> 00:24:18,400 but also some that say those are 659 00:24:22,149 --> 00:24:20,080 trumped-up charges those are on 660 00:24:25,830 --> 00:24:22,159 corroborate charges and i'm not 661 00:24:30,870 --> 00:24:25,840 prepared to get into all that um 662 00:24:34,310 --> 00:24:32,789 yeah like i say we're gonna let them 663 00:24:36,710 --> 00:24:34,320 speak for themselves 664 00:24:38,950 --> 00:24:36,720 uh for people who want to focus on the 665 00:24:40,310 --> 00:24:38,960 negative and michael jackson is accused 666 00:24:42,149 --> 00:24:40,320 of being this 667 00:24:45,269 --> 00:24:42,159 then they can focus on that we're 668 00:24:48,149 --> 00:24:45,279 focusing on getting the working devices 669 00:24:49,830 --> 00:24:48,159 to the point uh dr schwartz has recently 670 00:24:50,470 --> 00:24:49,840 written two books and the first is 671 00:24:53,669 --> 00:24:50,480 called the 672 00:24:54,549 --> 00:24:53,679 case for truth about responsible truth 673 00:24:57,909 --> 00:24:54,559 seeking with an 674 00:25:00,310 --> 00:24:57,919 attorney alan bourie because as you know 675 00:25:03,510 --> 00:25:00,320 we live in a day and age where 676 00:25:05,909 --> 00:25:03,520 statements are made in a cavalier way 677 00:25:06,549 --> 00:25:05,919 whether there's any fact behind them or 678 00:25:09,750 --> 00:25:06,559 not 679 00:25:11,669 --> 00:25:09,760 so people are distrustful of science 680 00:25:12,950 --> 00:25:11,679 they're just stressful statements in the 681 00:25:15,029 --> 00:25:12,960 media and so on 682 00:25:16,630 --> 00:25:15,039 so dr schwartz want to write this to 683 00:25:19,669 --> 00:25:16,640 help people understand 684 00:25:23,830 --> 00:25:19,679 we are following the utmost ethics 685 00:25:26,870 --> 00:25:23,840 and so that what we say is based on 686 00:25:28,549 --> 00:25:26,880 science we are not making any new 687 00:25:29,350 --> 00:25:28,559 statements about michael or hearing 688 00:25:32,149 --> 00:25:29,360 anybody that's 689 00:25:34,789 --> 00:25:32,159 years old information the second book 690 00:25:36,630 --> 00:25:34,799 that dr schwartz has written is called 691 00:25:38,230 --> 00:25:36,640 extraordinary claims require 692 00:25:40,870 --> 00:25:38,240 extraordinary evidence 693 00:25:42,710 --> 00:25:40,880 and that's based on a statement by carl 694 00:25:45,190 --> 00:25:42,720 sagan and again 695 00:25:47,110 --> 00:25:45,200 making the case that yeah we're making 696 00:25:49,110 --> 00:25:47,120 extraordinary claim here that life 697 00:25:51,590 --> 00:25:49,120 continues after bodily death 698 00:25:53,669 --> 00:25:51,600 and at least some people can communicate 699 00:25:54,789 --> 00:25:53,679 and here's our extraordinary evidence 700 00:25:56,630 --> 00:25:54,799 behind that 701 00:25:58,710 --> 00:25:56,640 so if you want to talk about the cell 702 00:26:00,230 --> 00:25:58,720 phone devices the science the different 703 00:26:01,430 --> 00:26:00,240 experiments great but if you want to 704 00:26:04,630 --> 00:26:01,440 talk about the other 705 00:26:06,470 --> 00:26:04,640 we'll need to abbreviate this we can 706 00:26:07,669 --> 00:26:06,480 we can of course abbreviate it at any 707 00:26:10,630 --> 00:26:07,679 time but the 708 00:26:10,950 --> 00:26:10,640 the the point about uh michael jackson 709 00:26:14,470 --> 00:26:10,960 is 710 00:26:17,350 --> 00:26:14,480 not whether he's uh guilty of 711 00:26:18,950 --> 00:26:17,360 the crimes that eyewitnesses have said 712 00:26:20,149 --> 00:26:18,960 they've been there and have seen and 713 00:26:22,070 --> 00:26:20,159 witnessed and 714 00:26:23,510 --> 00:26:22,080 and his attorneys have kind of come out 715 00:26:25,750 --> 00:26:23,520 and kind of said things 716 00:26:27,269 --> 00:26:25,760 that's not the point the point is the 717 00:26:30,310 --> 00:26:27,279 assumptions that you guys 718 00:26:30,870 --> 00:26:30,320 seem to be making that fly in the face 719 00:26:34,630 --> 00:26:30,880 of 720 00:26:37,110 --> 00:26:34,640 not just um other mediums who've 721 00:26:39,510 --> 00:26:37,120 reported these extended consciousness 722 00:26:43,269 --> 00:26:39,520 realms differently than you have 723 00:26:45,350 --> 00:26:43,279 but also all that excuse me alex so 724 00:26:48,789 --> 00:26:45,360 whether it can make some headway let me 725 00:26:52,230 --> 00:26:48,799 remark on that we are not making any uh 726 00:26:54,630 --> 00:26:52,240 claims about the nature of other 727 00:26:55,830 --> 00:26:54,640 uh realms what it's like there and so on 728 00:26:57,350 --> 00:26:55,840 so there's no 729 00:26:59,350 --> 00:26:57,360 there can't be a difference mark of 730 00:27:00,870 --> 00:26:59,360 course you are of course you are 731 00:27:02,710 --> 00:27:00,880 by the very nature of the way that you 732 00:27:04,870 --> 00:27:02,720 described it you described 733 00:27:06,230 --> 00:27:04,880 let me go back i can replay it for you i 734 00:27:08,950 --> 00:27:06,240 can give you the transcript 735 00:27:11,190 --> 00:27:08,960 you said that these are actual beings 736 00:27:13,029 --> 00:27:11,200 and entities that lived here 737 00:27:15,750 --> 00:27:13,039 and that they don't really die and that 738 00:27:17,510 --> 00:27:15,760 their personality continues 739 00:27:18,950 --> 00:27:17,520 maybe those weren't your exact words but 740 00:27:21,350 --> 00:27:18,960 you did those are 741 00:27:23,029 --> 00:27:21,360 all claims about how the extended 742 00:27:25,110 --> 00:27:23,039 consciousness realm works 743 00:27:27,190 --> 00:27:25,120 and that they have physicality and that 744 00:27:27,830 --> 00:27:27,200 they have density those are all based 745 00:27:29,990 --> 00:27:27,840 alex 746 00:27:31,190 --> 00:27:30,000 on a series of experiments so perhaps 747 00:27:33,750 --> 00:27:31,200 it'd be useful 748 00:27:34,789 --> 00:27:33,760 for your uh viewers and i would suggest 749 00:27:38,630 --> 00:27:34,799 mark is that 750 00:27:41,190 --> 00:27:38,640 i i i i love the experiment 751 00:27:42,070 --> 00:27:41,200 i love where you're going in terms of 752 00:27:45,430 --> 00:27:42,080 falsifla 753 00:27:47,269 --> 00:27:45,440 falsifying materialism and on our ex 754 00:27:49,269 --> 00:27:47,279 our expanded understanding of 755 00:27:51,190 --> 00:27:49,279 consciousness because i think that's the 756 00:27:53,510 --> 00:27:51,200 greatest contribution we could make 757 00:27:55,830 --> 00:27:53,520 i think it dovetails with the very 758 00:27:56,310 --> 00:27:55,840 important near-death experience research 759 00:27:58,789 --> 00:27:56,320 that 760 00:28:00,470 --> 00:27:58,799 has been going on for the last 20 years 761 00:28:03,430 --> 00:28:00,480 it dovetails with the 762 00:28:05,029 --> 00:28:03,440 reincarnation research like at the 763 00:28:07,350 --> 00:28:05,039 university of virginia 764 00:28:08,470 --> 00:28:07,360 on the near death experience i know you 765 00:28:11,510 --> 00:28:08,480 connected with 766 00:28:11,909 --> 00:28:11,520 ians and dr jeff long he's been on this 767 00:28:15,190 --> 00:28:11,919 show 768 00:28:17,510 --> 00:28:15,200 for many times and is very popular guest 769 00:28:18,310 --> 00:28:17,520 but if you go look at that research it 770 00:28:20,470 --> 00:28:18,320 is very 771 00:28:22,549 --> 00:28:20,480 problematic and they acknowledge that 772 00:28:25,110 --> 00:28:22,559 it's problematic if you go look at 773 00:28:26,230 --> 00:28:25,120 jeff long's database of near-death 774 00:28:28,310 --> 00:28:26,240 experiences 775 00:28:29,990 --> 00:28:28,320 they're contradictory they're all over 776 00:28:32,070 --> 00:28:30,000 the place i've interviewed people 777 00:28:33,750 --> 00:28:32,080 on this show that have had dramatic 778 00:28:35,830 --> 00:28:33,760 spiritually transformative 779 00:28:37,110 --> 00:28:35,840 experiences that are extremely 780 00:28:38,630 --> 00:28:37,120 christian-based 781 00:28:40,870 --> 00:28:38,640 ian mccormick as a near-death 782 00:28:42,950 --> 00:28:40,880 experiencer who now goes around to 783 00:28:44,070 --> 00:28:42,960 churches all around the world and his 784 00:28:46,870 --> 00:28:44,080 message is 785 00:28:47,750 --> 00:28:46,880 i saw jesus in my nde and i'll tell you 786 00:28:50,870 --> 00:28:47,760 what if you saw 787 00:28:51,590 --> 00:28:50,880 jesus in yours you had a real nde if you 788 00:28:54,230 --> 00:28:51,600 didn't 789 00:28:55,510 --> 00:28:54,240 it's probably satanic and you need to 790 00:28:57,510 --> 00:28:55,520 step back on that yeah 791 00:28:59,430 --> 00:28:57,520 okay the point is the point is i think 792 00:29:01,830 --> 00:28:59,440 you guys are making the same 793 00:29:02,870 --> 00:29:01,840 exact same mistake exact same mistake 794 00:29:06,149 --> 00:29:02,880 when you start making 795 00:29:08,389 --> 00:29:06,159 all these kind of very uh cut 796 00:29:10,149 --> 00:29:08,399 and dried matter-of-fact statements that 797 00:29:13,350 --> 00:29:10,159 you got out of your ouija board 798 00:29:16,630 --> 00:29:13,360 about how extended consciousness works 799 00:29:19,110 --> 00:29:16,640 well i would love to explain uh this to 800 00:29:21,110 --> 00:29:19,120 you alex if you would like to listen 801 00:29:22,710 --> 00:29:21,120 in our book greater reality living that 802 00:29:25,430 --> 00:29:22,720 dr schwartz and i wrote 803 00:29:26,630 --> 00:29:25,440 we broke down three types of evidence 804 00:29:29,510 --> 00:29:26,640 for afterlife 805 00:29:31,110 --> 00:29:29,520 and associated understandings one is 806 00:29:34,190 --> 00:29:31,120 scientific research 807 00:29:35,669 --> 00:29:34,200 which is defined as occurring in a 808 00:29:37,909 --> 00:29:35,679 university-based 809 00:29:38,710 --> 00:29:37,919 laboratory using all the things i 810 00:29:41,430 --> 00:29:38,720 mentioned before 811 00:29:42,549 --> 00:29:41,440 controlled double binder so on to our 812 00:29:45,269 --> 00:29:42,559 knowledge we have 813 00:29:46,950 --> 00:29:45,279 heard that there may be some research 814 00:29:49,830 --> 00:29:46,960 like this going on in china 815 00:29:51,990 --> 00:29:49,840 but otherwise no one else is doing this 816 00:29:54,149 --> 00:29:52,000 sort of scientific research 817 00:29:55,669 --> 00:29:54,159 that dr schwartz did first of all 20 818 00:29:57,669 --> 00:29:55,679 years ago with mediums 819 00:29:59,909 --> 00:29:57,679 as described in this book the afterlife 820 00:30:00,789 --> 00:29:59,919 experiments and secondly now with the 821 00:30:02,950 --> 00:30:00,799 soul phone 822 00:30:04,710 --> 00:30:02,960 project again seven different 823 00:30:07,669 --> 00:30:04,720 experiments which show 824 00:30:10,630 --> 00:30:07,679 by replicated data the ability of post 825 00:30:13,669 --> 00:30:10,640 material persons to have physicality 826 00:30:17,510 --> 00:30:13,679 to move air to make 827 00:30:21,029 --> 00:30:17,520 audio signals to be visualized 828 00:30:22,070 --> 00:30:21,039 video etc that is what i'm basing those 829 00:30:24,389 --> 00:30:22,080 experiments that were 830 00:30:26,549 --> 00:30:24,399 basically my statements on about the 831 00:30:29,750 --> 00:30:26,559 nature of post-material persons 832 00:30:32,230 --> 00:30:29,760 now you mentioned near-death experiences 833 00:30:33,590 --> 00:30:32,240 and other research that's what we call 834 00:30:36,470 --> 00:30:33,600 clinical research 835 00:30:37,350 --> 00:30:36,480 that's done by a university professors 836 00:30:40,549 --> 00:30:37,360 physicians 837 00:30:42,070 --> 00:30:40,559 and others in clinical settings but by 838 00:30:44,630 --> 00:30:42,080 the very nature of the 839 00:30:45,590 --> 00:30:44,640 of the experience near-death experiences 840 00:30:48,389 --> 00:30:45,600 for example 841 00:30:49,669 --> 00:30:48,399 you can't have control groups you can't 842 00:30:52,149 --> 00:30:49,679 have double-blind 843 00:30:53,110 --> 00:30:52,159 and all the different uh requirements 844 00:30:57,590 --> 00:30:53,120 needed for true 845 00:31:00,870 --> 00:30:57,600 scientific work and then the third 846 00:31:03,909 --> 00:31:00,880 group of information or evidence 847 00:31:05,669 --> 00:31:03,919 is termed experiential that is based on 848 00:31:08,230 --> 00:31:05,679 first-hand experience 849 00:31:08,710 --> 00:31:08,240 and that's where things can really get 850 00:31:11,990 --> 00:31:08,720 uh 851 00:31:12,630 --> 00:31:12,000 variable not objective whereas you say 852 00:31:17,110 --> 00:31:12,640 you have 853 00:31:20,310 --> 00:31:17,120 another person saying 854 00:31:22,710 --> 00:31:20,320 you know jesus wasn't there so it's very 855 00:31:25,430 --> 00:31:22,720 important alex because i know you're a 856 00:31:25,750 --> 00:31:25,440 strong voice in this and and i hope you 857 00:31:28,470 --> 00:31:25,760 uh 858 00:31:29,830 --> 00:31:28,480 take the time to understand this are we 859 00:31:32,870 --> 00:31:29,840 looking at scientific 860 00:31:34,630 --> 00:31:32,880 clinical or experiential evidence 861 00:31:36,149 --> 00:31:34,640 so let me try and back off and make this 862 00:31:37,110 --> 00:31:36,159 because i'm so supportive of what you 863 00:31:39,029 --> 00:31:37,120 guys are doing 864 00:31:40,950 --> 00:31:39,039 and i think it's so important and you're 865 00:31:43,190 --> 00:31:40,960 advancing the ball down the field 866 00:31:44,230 --> 00:31:43,200 in a super important way with your 867 00:31:48,149 --> 00:31:44,240 experiments 868 00:31:51,590 --> 00:31:48,159 there seems to be in my opinion kind of 869 00:31:53,669 --> 00:31:51,600 a a a problem here that i it seems 870 00:31:55,750 --> 00:31:53,679 obvious to me i don't know why you don't 871 00:31:57,909 --> 00:31:55,760 spot it more readily but 872 00:31:58,950 --> 00:31:57,919 with what you're calling your laboratory 873 00:32:02,710 --> 00:31:58,960 work 874 00:32:06,310 --> 00:32:02,720 you're introducing this hypothesized 875 00:32:06,950 --> 00:32:06,320 disincarnate entity as soon as you do 876 00:32:09,269 --> 00:32:06,960 that 877 00:32:10,630 --> 00:32:09,279 you're no longer doing strictly 878 00:32:12,870 --> 00:32:10,640 laboratory work 879 00:32:14,950 --> 00:32:12,880 you're doing clinical work or you're 880 00:32:18,149 --> 00:32:14,960 doing experiential work 881 00:32:22,310 --> 00:32:18,159 just who you've substituted in there 882 00:32:25,830 --> 00:32:22,320 is now who not a person per se 883 00:32:28,789 --> 00:32:25,840 but it's a hypothesized person it's a 884 00:32:30,310 --> 00:32:28,799 hypothesized experience you can still do 885 00:32:32,149 --> 00:32:30,320 your laboratory work 886 00:32:33,669 --> 00:32:32,159 like you're doing in my opinion this is 887 00:32:34,630 --> 00:32:33,679 like i'm not i don't know this stuff 888 00:32:37,350 --> 00:32:34,640 like you guys do 889 00:32:37,830 --> 00:32:37,360 yeah seems to me a stretch to be saying 890 00:32:41,750 --> 00:32:37,840 that 891 00:32:44,789 --> 00:32:41,760 hypothesized 892 00:32:48,389 --> 00:32:44,799 disincarnate entity as just another 893 00:32:51,669 --> 00:32:48,399 instrument in the experiment 894 00:32:54,710 --> 00:32:51,679 i don't get that um yeah i really hope 895 00:32:57,029 --> 00:32:54,720 and in fact if you want to uh deep six 896 00:32:57,830 --> 00:32:57,039 this interview and read greater reality 897 00:32:59,590 --> 00:32:57,840 living i will 898 00:33:00,870 --> 00:32:59,600 send you literature so you can 899 00:33:04,149 --> 00:33:00,880 understand more because 900 00:33:06,950 --> 00:33:04,159 excuse me it's complicated alex and your 901 00:33:08,630 --> 00:33:06,960 viewers deserve to understand all the 902 00:33:11,549 --> 00:33:08,640 facts behind it so 903 00:33:12,789 --> 00:33:11,559 the the very reason we call them 904 00:33:16,470 --> 00:33:12,799 hypothesize 905 00:33:19,909 --> 00:33:16,480 collaborators 906 00:33:22,230 --> 00:33:19,919 is it is a hypothesis until it's proven 907 00:33:23,750 --> 00:33:22,240 but to date we have so many different 908 00:33:26,630 --> 00:33:23,760 experiments 909 00:33:28,870 --> 00:33:26,640 they are not the measurement we are 910 00:33:29,830 --> 00:33:28,880 measuring in seven different ways their 911 00:33:33,990 --> 00:33:29,840 presence 912 00:33:36,630 --> 00:33:34,000 and so by the research we're doing 913 00:33:37,430 --> 00:33:36,640 could be and has been done with humans 914 00:33:40,950 --> 00:33:37,440 involved 915 00:33:43,590 --> 00:33:40,960 only in some cases we have allegedly 916 00:33:44,310 --> 00:33:43,600 those who have passed on and their 917 00:33:48,070 --> 00:33:44,320 signals 918 00:33:49,509 --> 00:33:48,080 statistically 919 00:33:51,750 --> 00:33:49,519 significant that's part of the 920 00:33:51,990 --> 00:33:51,760 scientific method and and by the way i 921 00:33:54,470 --> 00:33:52,000 mean 922 00:33:55,750 --> 00:33:54,480 you read all my degrees and studies i 923 00:33:58,549 --> 00:33:55,760 thought i knew 924 00:34:00,789 --> 00:33:58,559 about science but actually i had to go 925 00:34:01,750 --> 00:34:00,799 back and edit my previous books like 926 00:34:04,830 --> 00:34:01,760 soul proof 927 00:34:06,149 --> 00:34:04,840 because i was guilty of making 928 00:34:09,190 --> 00:34:06,159 unsubstantiated 929 00:34:09,829 --> 00:34:09,200 statements statements that went beyond 930 00:34:13,190 --> 00:34:09,839 the current 931 00:34:14,950 --> 00:34:13,200 evidence but i can guarantee you that dr 932 00:34:15,669 --> 00:34:14,960 schwartz doesn't do that he's a true 933 00:34:18,710 --> 00:34:15,679 scientist 934 00:34:20,869 --> 00:34:18,720 been 935 00:34:23,990 --> 00:34:20,879 his colleagues and advocates 936 00:34:26,790 --> 00:34:24,000 unfortunately we live in a realm where 937 00:34:27,909 --> 00:34:26,800 yeah even studying consciousness is 938 00:34:29,510 --> 00:34:27,919 looked down upon 939 00:34:31,190 --> 00:34:29,520 and so some of the scientists have 940 00:34:32,710 --> 00:34:31,200 worked with him for decades 941 00:34:35,109 --> 00:34:32,720 some were his students when he was at 942 00:34:35,750 --> 00:34:35,119 harvard at yale a professor at harvard 943 00:34:38,629 --> 00:34:35,760 yale 944 00:34:40,230 --> 00:34:38,639 they say gary we believe in you we know 945 00:34:43,190 --> 00:34:40,240 you're the best of the best 946 00:34:43,669 --> 00:34:43,200 but we can't come out and publicly say 947 00:34:46,470 --> 00:34:43,679 it 948 00:34:48,389 --> 00:34:46,480 because we could lose our funding and so 949 00:34:49,990 --> 00:34:48,399 that's the state of things in our world 950 00:34:52,310 --> 00:34:50,000 right now if you know if you try to 951 00:34:54,629 --> 00:34:52,320 prove that life after death exists 952 00:34:56,230 --> 00:34:54,639 which is the number one fear and concern 953 00:35:00,150 --> 00:34:56,240 of so many people 954 00:35:03,430 --> 00:35:00,160 uh you're considered kooky uh so 955 00:35:05,910 --> 00:35:03,440 we're we're gonna change all that and 956 00:35:06,470 --> 00:35:05,920 it's coming i would just say uh to your 957 00:35:08,950 --> 00:35:06,480 viewers 958 00:35:09,829 --> 00:35:08,960 it's coming and you can learn a lot more 959 00:35:13,589 --> 00:35:09,839 about all this 960 00:35:16,710 --> 00:35:13,599 at the website soulphone.org 961 00:35:20,230 --> 00:35:16,720 and understand this these complex 962 00:35:24,069 --> 00:35:20,240 topics okay that's fair enough 963 00:35:27,910 --> 00:35:24,079 i i if you've stood up to all my 964 00:35:31,190 --> 00:35:27,920 toughest questions so i i'm very very 965 00:35:34,710 --> 00:35:31,200 uh skeptical of your use of the 966 00:35:37,270 --> 00:35:34,720 term laboratory experiments that include 967 00:35:38,310 --> 00:35:37,280 uh hypothesized disincarnated entities 968 00:35:40,310 --> 00:35:38,320 as just uh 969 00:35:41,990 --> 00:35:40,320 as like some photon beam over in the 970 00:35:45,670 --> 00:35:42,000 corner but we'll leave that 971 00:35:48,390 --> 00:35:45,680 where it is tell us um what's going on 972 00:35:50,069 --> 00:35:48,400 in in your world in terms of one of the 973 00:35:53,270 --> 00:35:50,079 things that you're doing that i think 974 00:35:56,470 --> 00:35:53,280 anyone should be able to get behind 975 00:35:57,990 --> 00:35:56,480 and embrace is you're a people helper 976 00:35:59,750 --> 00:35:58,000 you know when i read your bio 977 00:36:01,750 --> 00:35:59,760 you can read that you've dedicated your 978 00:36:04,550 --> 00:36:01,760 life to trying to help people and 979 00:36:07,990 --> 00:36:04,560 particularly when people are in 980 00:36:09,990 --> 00:36:08,000 a vulnerable grieving situation 981 00:36:11,430 --> 00:36:10,000 your whole life has been about trying to 982 00:36:13,109 --> 00:36:11,440 reach those people and connect with 983 00:36:15,109 --> 00:36:13,119 those people and no doubt 984 00:36:16,390 --> 00:36:15,119 that's driving this work because you see 985 00:36:18,550 --> 00:36:16,400 how 986 00:36:20,550 --> 00:36:18,560 comforting and transformational these 987 00:36:24,630 --> 00:36:20,560 kind of experience 988 00:36:25,510 --> 00:36:24,640 people specifically you seem to be 989 00:36:28,870 --> 00:36:25,520 setting up 990 00:36:30,550 --> 00:36:28,880 programs in order to bring that kind of 991 00:36:32,950 --> 00:36:30,560 relief to people 992 00:36:34,069 --> 00:36:32,960 through the soul phone foundation tell 993 00:36:36,470 --> 00:36:34,079 people more about 994 00:36:37,829 --> 00:36:36,480 what you're doing in in your personal 995 00:36:39,109 --> 00:36:37,839 practice in your books 996 00:36:41,990 --> 00:36:39,119 and also through the cell phone 997 00:36:45,750 --> 00:36:45,270 yeah we um dr schwartz and i saw early 998 00:36:47,270 --> 00:36:45,760 on 999 00:36:48,790 --> 00:36:47,280 that there was going to be a huge 1000 00:36:52,550 --> 00:36:48,800 paradigm shift 1001 00:36:54,790 --> 00:36:52,560 and um we wanted to help as many people 1002 00:36:56,790 --> 00:36:54,800 as possible prepare for that 1003 00:36:58,150 --> 00:36:56,800 wrap their heads around it i don't know 1004 00:37:00,470 --> 00:36:58,160 if you saw a netflix 1005 00:37:01,349 --> 00:37:00,480 movie a few years ago robert redford was 1006 00:37:03,109 --> 00:37:01,359 a star 1007 00:37:04,950 --> 00:37:03,119 and we were excited about it coming out 1008 00:37:07,030 --> 00:37:04,960 because the premise is very similar to 1009 00:37:09,990 --> 00:37:07,040 what we're actually doing in the lab 1010 00:37:11,190 --> 00:37:10,000 and that is a top scientist proved 1011 00:37:14,069 --> 00:37:11,200 without a doubt 1012 00:37:16,310 --> 00:37:14,079 life after death where they went with it 1013 00:37:18,069 --> 00:37:16,320 was extremely dark and that is a lot of 1014 00:37:21,109 --> 00:37:18,079 people around the world 1015 00:37:22,710 --> 00:37:21,119 committed suicide and we're like what 1016 00:37:25,670 --> 00:37:22,720 can you take a possibly 1017 00:37:26,630 --> 00:37:25,680 worse scenario from this but we 1018 00:37:30,870 --> 00:37:26,640 understand that 1019 00:37:33,510 --> 00:37:30,880 number one two so many people have had 1020 00:37:34,790 --> 00:37:33,520 spiritually transformed experiences out 1021 00:37:37,589 --> 00:37:34,800 of body experiences 1022 00:37:39,270 --> 00:37:37,599 after death communications shared death 1023 00:37:41,349 --> 00:37:39,280 experiences etc 1024 00:37:42,550 --> 00:37:41,359 but they think they're the only ones and 1025 00:37:44,470 --> 00:37:42,560 they are 1026 00:37:46,150 --> 00:37:44,480 considered they're afraid of being 1027 00:37:48,550 --> 00:37:46,160 considered kooky or crazy 1028 00:37:49,349 --> 00:37:48,560 you know it wasn't so long ago that if 1029 00:37:51,990 --> 00:37:49,359 someone 1030 00:37:53,670 --> 00:37:52,000 went to a psychiatrist and said hey when 1031 00:37:55,430 --> 00:37:53,680 almost i saw the light you know they 1032 00:37:57,589 --> 00:37:55,440 give them a hell doll 1033 00:38:00,150 --> 00:37:57,599 interestingly i had an interview with a 1034 00:38:01,270 --> 00:38:00,160 uh i was actually helping a psychiatrist 1035 00:38:03,349 --> 00:38:01,280 last week 1036 00:38:05,190 --> 00:38:03,359 and she was telling me about the various 1037 00:38:07,510 --> 00:38:05,200 after death communications from her 1038 00:38:10,069 --> 00:38:07,520 husband who passed on years ago 1039 00:38:12,550 --> 00:38:10,079 and she said i swear to god i'm not 1040 00:38:13,510 --> 00:38:12,560 crazy i really had these experiences and 1041 00:38:15,349 --> 00:38:13,520 i started laughing 1042 00:38:17,109 --> 00:38:15,359 she said you're laughing i said yeah i 1043 00:38:20,790 --> 00:38:17,119 never thought i'd live long enough 1044 00:38:22,390 --> 00:38:20,800 to have a psychiatrist try to convince 1045 00:38:23,670 --> 00:38:22,400 me she's not crazy 1046 00:38:25,750 --> 00:38:23,680 because she's having what i've been 1047 00:38:27,430 --> 00:38:25,760 teaching people about for 40 years so 1048 00:38:29,589 --> 00:38:27,440 maybe the world is ready 1049 00:38:31,990 --> 00:38:29,599 so we want to have these greater reality 1050 00:38:34,550 --> 00:38:32,000 living groups close to pandemic squash 1051 00:38:35,430 --> 00:38:34,560 those we had about 10 going in a couple 1052 00:38:38,069 --> 00:38:35,440 countries 1053 00:38:40,069 --> 00:38:38,079 where people can learn the evidence 1054 00:38:41,109 --> 00:38:40,079 share their personal experiences learn 1055 00:38:43,910 --> 00:38:41,119 how to 1056 00:38:44,430 --> 00:38:43,920 internalize this great news because a 1057 00:38:47,030 --> 00:38:44,440 dry 1058 00:38:48,230 --> 00:38:47,040 superficial intellectual knowing doesn't 1059 00:38:50,150 --> 00:38:48,240 get us through the day 1060 00:38:52,230 --> 00:38:50,160 when it gets tough you know we're dying 1061 00:38:55,270 --> 00:38:52,240 or a loved one passes or whatever 1062 00:38:56,630 --> 00:38:55,280 we want people to internalize know it to 1063 00:38:59,510 --> 00:38:56,640 learn all the benefits 1064 00:39:00,790 --> 00:38:59,520 that a company knowing a very high 1065 00:39:03,109 --> 00:39:00,800 degree of certainty that 1066 00:39:04,470 --> 00:39:03,119 all this is true and then finally how 1067 00:39:06,630 --> 00:39:04,480 can we serve others 1068 00:39:07,829 --> 00:39:06,640 and make our world a better place so 1069 00:39:10,630 --> 00:39:07,839 that's one of the 1070 00:39:11,750 --> 00:39:10,640 the focuses and people can learn more 1071 00:39:16,670 --> 00:39:11,760 about that 1072 00:39:20,069 --> 00:39:16,680 by visiting greaterrealityliving.com 1073 00:39:20,390 --> 00:39:20,079 greaterrealityliving.com i also just set 1074 00:39:22,550 --> 00:39:20,400 up 1075 00:39:23,589 --> 00:39:22,560 with the director of ins which you 1076 00:39:27,150 --> 00:39:23,599 mentioned earlier 1077 00:39:30,150 --> 00:39:27,160 chuck swedrock a series of monthly 1078 00:39:33,270 --> 00:39:30,160 presentations for the next year sharing 1079 00:39:36,390 --> 00:39:33,280 this with a lot of people 1080 00:39:37,109 --> 00:39:36,400 also i i'm very heavily involved with 1081 00:39:39,349 --> 00:39:37,119 the group 1082 00:39:40,470 --> 00:39:39,359 helping parents heal us on the board for 1083 00:39:43,510 --> 00:39:40,480 five years 1084 00:39:46,630 --> 00:39:43,520 i write their q a and i 1085 00:39:48,630 --> 00:39:46,640 train their leaders and their 1086 00:39:51,030 --> 00:39:48,640 caring listeners i think we have about 1087 00:39:54,069 --> 00:39:51,040 80 groups now around the world 1088 00:39:55,990 --> 00:39:54,079 so yes the yeah i've been doing this for 1089 00:39:58,150 --> 00:39:56,000 40 years 1090 00:39:59,670 --> 00:39:58,160 as as you said since working with all 1091 00:40:01,670 --> 00:39:59,680 these dying people 1092 00:40:04,470 --> 00:40:01,680 and before i had to lead with the 1093 00:40:07,829 --> 00:40:04,480 clinical and experiential evidence 1094 00:40:09,349 --> 00:40:07,839 which when taken together is very very 1095 00:40:11,109 --> 00:40:09,359 strongly indicating this 1096 00:40:14,470 --> 00:40:11,119 but now when you add the scientific 1097 00:40:17,589 --> 00:40:14,480 research that almost nobody knows about 1098 00:40:20,230 --> 00:40:17,599 it makes such a strong case and i've had 1099 00:40:21,349 --> 00:40:20,240 people write me and say you know i was 1100 00:40:23,589 --> 00:40:21,359 thinking about 1101 00:40:24,470 --> 00:40:23,599 ending my life but i decided to stick 1102 00:40:27,270 --> 00:40:24,480 around 1103 00:40:28,630 --> 00:40:27,280 because i see hope now and i want to see 1104 00:40:32,470 --> 00:40:28,640 how this works out 1105 00:40:34,550 --> 00:40:32,480 or how brief parents contact me and say 1106 00:40:36,069 --> 00:40:34,560 my husband and i didn't know how we were 1107 00:40:39,190 --> 00:40:36,079 going to get through this 1108 00:40:40,470 --> 00:40:39,200 but thanks to what you are doing sharing 1109 00:40:43,990 --> 00:40:40,480 all this evidence 1110 00:40:47,589 --> 00:40:44,000 and the hope of someday having 1111 00:40:49,990 --> 00:40:47,599 practical affordable widespread devices 1112 00:40:51,430 --> 00:40:50,000 not total certainty but a good 1113 00:40:54,550 --> 00:40:51,440 likelihood 1114 00:40:58,150 --> 00:40:54,560 you know that helps immensely 1115 00:41:00,230 --> 00:40:58,160 mark how do you handle religious issues 1116 00:41:01,829 --> 00:41:00,240 because again you know there's two sides 1117 00:41:04,829 --> 00:41:01,839 to that some people 1118 00:41:07,030 --> 00:41:04,839 find that comforting other people find 1119 00:41:09,430 --> 00:41:07,040 that oppressive 1120 00:41:10,069 --> 00:41:09,440 and particularly people find that in 1121 00:41:13,910 --> 00:41:10,079 their 1122 00:41:15,990 --> 00:41:13,920 been a 1123 00:41:17,430 --> 00:41:16,000 closing of a door rather than an opening 1124 00:41:19,030 --> 00:41:17,440 of doors so there's a whole spectrum 1125 00:41:20,069 --> 00:41:19,040 people understand that how do you deal 1126 00:41:24,150 --> 00:41:20,079 with it in terms of this 1127 00:41:26,309 --> 00:41:24,160 afterlife situation yeah good question 1128 00:41:28,870 --> 00:41:26,319 it depends on which hat i'm wearing alex 1129 00:41:29,670 --> 00:41:28,880 the uh if i'm the director of the soul 1130 00:41:32,790 --> 00:41:29,680 phone 1131 00:41:34,069 --> 00:41:32,800 foundation uh research assistant for the 1132 00:41:36,550 --> 00:41:34,079 soul phone foundation 1133 00:41:38,710 --> 00:41:36,560 we don't talk about it we quit because 1134 00:41:39,270 --> 00:41:38,720 we know it's just a quagmire and people 1135 00:41:42,309 --> 00:41:39,280 can get 1136 00:41:43,190 --> 00:41:42,319 so upset so quickly however from my 1137 00:41:46,309 --> 00:41:43,200 decades 1138 00:41:48,390 --> 00:41:46,319 wearing the sole proof hat i 1139 00:41:49,670 --> 00:41:48,400 addressed it head-on because it's such 1140 00:41:51,829 --> 00:41:49,680 an important topic 1141 00:41:54,390 --> 00:41:51,839 as you said i went to theology school 1142 00:41:57,430 --> 00:41:54,400 purposely to learn from myself 1143 00:41:59,510 --> 00:41:57,440 the true story the original meanings 1144 00:42:01,589 --> 00:41:59,520 of some of the sayings in the bible that 1145 00:42:03,750 --> 00:42:01,599 any child can hear and go 1146 00:42:06,870 --> 00:42:03,760 what what's up with that you got a god 1147 00:42:09,270 --> 00:42:06,880 of unfathomable love and caring 1148 00:42:10,309 --> 00:42:09,280 who depending on if we believe or do 1149 00:42:12,950 --> 00:42:10,319 certain things 1150 00:42:14,309 --> 00:42:12,960 will allow us or put us into a fiery 1151 00:42:17,430 --> 00:42:14,319 eternal hell forever 1152 00:42:19,670 --> 00:42:17,440 it's schizophrenic and as you say 1153 00:42:22,470 --> 00:42:19,680 many people have been turned off by 1154 00:42:24,950 --> 00:42:22,480 religion and i totally understand it 1155 00:42:26,470 --> 00:42:24,960 i've had many conversations with people 1156 00:42:29,990 --> 00:42:26,480 who claim to be 1157 00:42:31,990 --> 00:42:30,000 atheists or agnostics and when we talk 1158 00:42:33,349 --> 00:42:32,000 about it we find that actually what 1159 00:42:36,630 --> 00:42:33,359 they're rejecting 1160 00:42:39,030 --> 00:42:36,640 is the archaic dark ages notion of a 1161 00:42:40,630 --> 00:42:39,040 god is a big guy in the sky sitting on a 1162 00:42:43,510 --> 00:42:40,640 throne deciding who gets 1163 00:42:44,150 --> 00:42:43,520 smited and who goes to heaven forever 1164 00:42:47,670 --> 00:42:44,160 they 1165 00:42:50,630 --> 00:42:47,680 do recognize many of them however 1166 00:42:52,710 --> 00:42:50,640 like the force i mean the star star wars 1167 00:42:54,390 --> 00:42:52,720 series have done a better job 1168 00:42:56,829 --> 00:42:54,400 of helping people understand that 1169 00:42:59,589 --> 00:42:56,839 there's some creative 1170 00:43:02,230 --> 00:42:59,599 loving supportive 1171 00:43:04,069 --> 00:43:02,240 presence and power in the universe 1172 00:43:06,870 --> 00:43:04,079 better than most religions 1173 00:43:08,870 --> 00:43:06,880 and so they they get that some sort of 1174 00:43:11,990 --> 00:43:08,880 universal consciousness 1175 00:43:15,190 --> 00:43:12,000 one mind look at the nativistic 1176 00:43:17,270 --> 00:43:15,200 approaches great spirit etc so that's 1177 00:43:20,470 --> 00:43:17,280 why i try to make clear to people 1178 00:43:24,390 --> 00:43:20,480 like alice huxley wrote 1179 00:43:26,870 --> 00:43:24,400 about the um the golden threads the 1180 00:43:29,270 --> 00:43:26,880 perennial philosophy he called it 1181 00:43:31,750 --> 00:43:29,280 so also like thomas jefferson he said 1182 00:43:35,270 --> 00:43:31,760 look for the golden threads that run 1183 00:43:37,349 --> 00:43:35,280 among the world's great religions next 1184 00:43:39,349 --> 00:43:37,359 trust your inner voice what makes sense 1185 00:43:41,349 --> 00:43:39,359 to you about it and third 1186 00:43:43,750 --> 00:43:41,359 look at the contemporary evidence we 1187 00:43:45,910 --> 00:43:43,760 have and those three perhaps then 1188 00:43:47,750 --> 00:43:45,920 give one the best understanding of 1189 00:43:51,589 --> 00:43:47,760 what's going on let me give you just 1190 00:43:55,990 --> 00:43:53,589 you know we hear about heaven and hell 1191 00:43:58,550 --> 00:43:56,000 and those have morphed over time 1192 00:44:00,150 --> 00:43:58,560 into a place way up in the sky or deep 1193 00:44:02,390 --> 00:44:00,160 in the bowels of the earth 1194 00:44:04,069 --> 00:44:02,400 actually the aramaic which is the 1195 00:44:07,270 --> 00:44:04,079 formative language at the time 1196 00:44:07,990 --> 00:44:07,280 judaism islam and christianity form and 1197 00:44:11,109 --> 00:44:08,000 those 1198 00:44:12,069 --> 00:44:11,119 in that language the words for heaven 1199 00:44:14,950 --> 00:44:12,079 and hell 1200 00:44:16,630 --> 00:44:14,960 meant how you feel when you die and you 1201 00:44:19,670 --> 00:44:16,640 go through a passageway 1202 00:44:21,990 --> 00:44:19,680 experience a sorting out and you see 1203 00:44:23,829 --> 00:44:22,000 what you've done all right now let's go 1204 00:44:25,910 --> 00:44:23,839 fast forward a couple thousand years 1205 00:44:27,190 --> 00:44:25,920 with near-death experiences and so many 1206 00:44:29,030 --> 00:44:27,200 of them describing 1207 00:44:31,109 --> 00:44:29,040 one of the most transformative aspects 1208 00:44:34,069 --> 00:44:31,119 of the na nde being 1209 00:44:34,390 --> 00:44:34,079 the life review that they not only see 1210 00:44:37,430 --> 00:44:34,400 it 1211 00:44:38,069 --> 00:44:37,440 but feel what they did and said to 1212 00:44:40,150 --> 00:44:38,079 others 1213 00:44:41,589 --> 00:44:40,160 and so that can be very heavenly or it 1214 00:44:44,230 --> 00:44:41,599 can be very hellish 1215 00:44:46,390 --> 00:44:44,240 but that's and for example somebody like 1216 00:44:47,190 --> 00:44:46,400 hitler he may have to sleep for a long 1217 00:44:50,309 --> 00:44:47,200 time 1218 00:44:53,349 --> 00:44:50,319 he may have a hellish life review 1219 00:44:55,510 --> 00:44:53,359 but that's different from eternal fiery 1220 00:44:58,870 --> 00:44:55,520 hell 1221 00:45:00,550 --> 00:44:58,880 great great so mark it's uh again 1222 00:45:02,710 --> 00:45:00,560 super exciting about the work that 1223 00:45:04,390 --> 00:45:02,720 you're doing what's

00:47:39,839 is probably the best entry point for 1292 00:47:44,150 --> 00:47:42,240 many people by all this because it is 1293 00:47:45,510 --> 00:47:44,160 so vast and complex can seem 1294 00:47:47,829 --> 00:47:45,520 overwhelming 1295 00:47:49,349 --> 00:47:47,839 this is the most recent book is it the 1296 00:47:50,069 --> 00:47:49,359 big picture of life is that's what 1297

00:47:58,150 --> 00:47:55,680 getting 1301 00:47:59,910 --> 00:47:58,160 is from adults they say i hate to say it 1302 00:48:02,390 --> 00:47:59,920 but i get a lot more out of 1303 00:48:04,309 --> 00:48:02,400 this kid's book than i did out of soul 1304 00:48:05,510 --> 00:48:04,319 proof and greater rowdy living and we 1305 00:48:09,030 --> 00:48:05,520 understand it 1306 00:48:10,470 --> 00:48:09,040 um so that's that part the second 1307 00:48:13,990 --> 00:48:10,480 website again 1308 00:48:17,349 --> 00:48:14,000 soul phone dot org and then that's 1309 00:48:20,710 --> 00:48:17,359 all about the soul phone project 1310 00:48:23,270 --> 00:48:20,720 uh research update and 1311 00:48:24,870 --> 00:48:23,280 a number of radio shows that i've done 1312 00:48:28,390 --> 00:48:24,880

00:48:47,119 again congratulations with all this 1322 00:48:51,430 --> 00:48:48,880 important work and uh 1323 00:48:52,870 --> 00:48:51,440 hey we will be looking forward to it it 1324 00:48:56,790 --> 00:48:52,880 can only 1325 00:48:58,470 --> 00:48:56,800 what you're bringing forward 1326 00:49:00,309 --> 00:48:58,480 one way or another we'll know we will 1327 00:49:02,710 --> 00:49:00,319

again to dr mark pittstick for 1331 00:49:11,670 --> 00:49:08,480 joining me today on skeptico 1332 00:49:13,910 --> 00:49:11,680 i know i kind of got in mark's face 1333 00:49:16,230 --> 00:49:13,920 and i guess indirectly gary schwartz's 1334 00:49:18,390 --> 00:49:16,240 face about their soul phone 1335 00:49:19,430 --> 00:49:18,400 and their soul phone quote-unquote 1336 00:49:22,870 --> 00:49:19,440 laboratory 1337 00:49:26,150 --> 00:49:22,880 experiments but in a way these 1338 00:49:29,670 --> 00:49:26,160 experiments are fantastic 1339 00:49:32,710 --> 00:49:29,680 so if they have a laboratory experiment 1340 00:49:36,630 --> 00:49:32,720 with a hypothesized spirit 1341 00:49:39,670 --> 00:49:36,640 entity isn't that kind of great in a way 1342 00:49:40,470 --> 00:49:39,680 in that it kind of forces the phony 1343 00:49:44,069 --> 00:49:40,480 baloney 1344 00:49:46,630 --> 00:49:44,079 physics materialism science is wrong 1345 00:49:48,710 --> 00:49:46,640 about almost everything it kind of 1346 00:49:51,270 --> 00:49:48,720 forces their hand right 1347 00:49:51,829 --> 00:49:51,280 because on one hand if you want to say 1348 00:49:54,710 --> 00:49:51,839 hey 1349 00:49:55,750 --> 00:49:54,720 that's not a legitimate experiment 1350 00:49:57,910 --> 00:49:55,760 because you have an 1351 00:49:59,190 --> 00:49:57,920 entity there that may be affecting that 1352 00:50:01,030 --> 00:49:59,200 experiment 1353 00:50:03,270 --> 00:50:01,040 well now you've acknowledged 1354 00:50:04,230 --> 00:50:03,280 consciousness not only consciousness but 1355 00:50:06,630 --> 00:50:04,240 the kind of 1356 00:50:07,670 --> 00:50:06,640 extended consciousness that we talk 1357 00:50:09,349 --> 00:50:07,680 about 1358 00:50:11,910 --> 00:50:09,359 on the other hand if you want to try and 1359 00:50:14,549 --> 00:50:11,920 hold the line and say well there's no 1360 00:50:17,510 --> 00:50:14,559 such thing as extended consciousness 1361 00:50:19,349 --> 00:50:17,520 then you gotta let his experiment in and 1362 00:50:21,589 --> 00:50:19,359 move him right to the front of the line 1363 00:50:22,950 --> 00:50:21,599 for the nobel prize hey he sure has my 1364 00:50:25,030 --> 00:50:22,960 nomination right 1365 00:50:27,510 --> 00:50:25,040 if you're gonna hold to your phony 1366 00:50:29,190 --> 00:50:27,520 baloney biological robot meaningless 1367 00:50:31,829 --> 00:50:29,200 universe science 1368 00:50:33,190 --> 00:50:31,839 then you gotta let in an experiment that 1369 00:50:36,630 --> 00:50:33,200 for all the rules 1370 00:50:38,950 --> 00:50:36,640 does everything right now 1371 00:50:41,190 --> 00:50:38,960 if we can get to that point which we 1372 00:50:42,870 --> 00:50:41,200 most certainly cannot 1373 00:50:44,549 --> 00:50:42,880 for all the reasons we talk about so 1374 00:50:45,589 --> 00:50:44,559 often on this show but if you can get to 1375 00:50:48,790 --> 00:50:45,599 that point 1376 00:50:51,430 --> 00:50:48,800 then you're really at the next level 1377 00:50:54,470 --> 00:50:51,440 where science needs to be because then 1378 00:50:56,950 --> 00:50:54,480 and only then can you talk about why we 1379 00:50:57,750 --> 00:50:56,960 might be a little bit uncomfortable with 1380 00:51:01,670 --> 00:50:57,760 the 1381 00:51:05,030 --> 00:51:01,680 reach around jesus juice michael jackson 1382 00:51:06,309 --> 00:51:05,040 purporting to be the guy who's on the 1383 00:51:09,750 --> 00:51:06,319 other end 1384 00:51:11,829 --> 00:51:09,760 of your ouija board but like i say 1385 00:51:13,430 --> 00:51:11,839 we'll probably never get there but the 1386 00:51:14,630 --> 00:51:13,440 first part of that question is pretty 1387 00:51:17,349 --> 00:51:14,640 interesting 1388 00:51:17,750 --> 00:51:17,359 what do you think hey the best place to 1389 00:51:20,630 --> 00:51:17,760 reach 1390 00:51:21,750 --> 00:51:20,640 me is skeptical forum you can also shoot 1391 00:51:23,670 --> 00:51:21,760 me an email 1392 00:51:25,270 --> 00:51:23,680 stick around i have some good shows 1393 00:51:29,760 --> 00:51:25,280 coming up i think 1394 00:51:34,829 --> 00:51:29,770 until next time take care and bye for
