1 00:00:00,539 --> 00:00:04,730 on this episode of skeptico 2 00:00:12,110 --> 00:00:08,089 show about arguing and and then you guys 3 00:00:16,369 --> 00:00:14,209 time seems like the value of having you 4 00:00:17,870 --> 00:00:16,379 here I think my value as a teacher is to 5 00:00:19,130 --> 00:00:17,880 teach you how to learn I think you're 6 00:00:20,029 --> 00:00:19,140 telling us we should teach ourselves I 7 00:00:21,290 --> 00:00:20,039 don't think you're gonna learn if I tell 8 00:00:22,550 --> 00:00:21,300 you how to think I think if you tell us 9 00:00:23,689 --> 00:00:22,560 what you think then we'll learn that I 10 00:00:25,070 --> 00:00:23,699 thought you should break into groups but 11 00:00:29,089 --> 00:00:25,080 you failed to learn that so your theory 12 00:00:34,310 --> 00:00:32,030 even arguing with people you like 13 00:00:37,549 --> 00:00:34,320 use the term cranky you said he was 14 00:00:40,490 --> 00:00:37,559 cranky in my experience yeah you can put 15 00:00:42,889 --> 00:00:40,500 him in frankly yeah but probably I'd say 16 00:00:45,410 --> 00:00:42,899 high probability of crazy but you need 17 00:00:47,750 --> 00:00:45,420 to read it and you need to I I do I do I 18 00:00:50,029 --> 00:00:47,760 do I do needles I wouldn't call somebody 19 00:00:52,310 --> 00:00:50,039 cranky if I'd not read their word 20 00:00:54,830 --> 00:00:52,320 that first step was from Jill McHale and 21 00:00:57,709 --> 00:00:54,840 community and the second one was from 22 00:00:59,750 --> 00:00:57,719 today's guest Anthony Peake who I 23 00:01:01,729 --> 00:00:59,760 genuinely like and respect even though I 24 00:01:04,729 --> 00:01:01,739 think he stretches the metaphor a little 25 00:01:07,010 --> 00:01:04,739 bit too far he always brings a lot of 26 00:01:08,870 --> 00:01:07,020 good research to the table and I 27 00:01:12,710 --> 00:01:08,880 certainly like that 28 00:01:17,090 --> 00:01:14,929 welcome to skeptico where we explore 29 00:01:19,730 --> 00:01:17,100 controversial science and spirituality 30 00:01:21,950 --> 00:01:19,740 with leading researchers thinkers and 31 00:01:24,950 --> 00:01:21,960 their critics I'm your host Alex Karis 32 00:01:26,929 --> 00:01:24,960 and today we welcome Anthony Peake back 33 00:01:29,569 --> 00:01:26,939 to skeptico 34 00:01:31,609 --> 00:01:29,579 Tony has a new book a new book is an old 35 00:01:32,990 --> 00:01:31,619 an old book that is a new book but it's 36 00:01:35,210 --> 00:01:33,000 it's just interesting I'm looking 37 00:01:37,850 --> 00:01:35,220 forward to diving into this with him the 38 00:01:40,429 --> 00:01:37,860 book is cheating the ferryman the 39 00:01:43,429 --> 00:01:40,439 Revolutionary science of life after 40 00:01:47,030 --> 00:01:43,439 death the sequel to the best-selling is 41 00:01:49,910 --> 00:01:47,040 their life after death so that's the new 42 00:01:51,830 --> 00:01:49,920 book I I gotta figure out how you got so 43 00:01:53,749 --> 00:01:51,840 much in that title on Amazon they let 44 00:01:56,149 --> 00:01:53,759 you do that that's great man good for 45 00:01:59,209 --> 00:01:56,159 you Tony welcome back thanks for being 46 00:02:01,310 --> 00:01:59,219 here yeah I always enjoy Alex all 47 00:02:03,289 --> 00:02:01,320 discussions I always find them the most 48 00:02:05,030 --> 00:02:03,299 stimulating I do basically because you 49 00:02:06,709 --> 00:02:05,040 do your research and you really do know 50 00:02:09,169 --> 00:02:06,719 your stuff and what I always admire 51 00:02:10,430 --> 00:02:09,179 about you is that you don't toe the line 52 00:02:11,690 --> 00:02:10,440 if somebody says something you don't 53 00:02:13,430 --> 00:02:11,700 agree with you'll tell them and I think 54 00:02:14,930 --> 00:02:13,440 that's profoundly important you know but 55 00:02:16,670 --> 00:02:14,940 funnily enough in terms of the the 56 00:02:18,170 --> 00:02:16,680 actual title in there it's extraordinary 57 00:02:20,270 --> 00:02:18,180 isn't it this isn't I don't do this is 58 00:02:22,610 --> 00:02:20,280 my Publishers I I didn't even know 59 00:02:24,170 --> 00:02:22,620 they'd done this so clearly it's quite a 60 00:02:26,690 --> 00:02:24,180 mouthful isn't it really that's good 61 00:02:28,729 --> 00:02:26,700 it's good it it kind of brings it 62 00:02:31,910 --> 00:02:28,739 brings us around because that's what the 63 00:02:33,890 --> 00:02:31,920 book does is it brings us around to the 64 00:02:36,350 --> 00:02:33,900 idea that here's a guy who's had this 65 00:02:39,890 --> 00:02:36,360 Theory he's been working on this theory 66 00:02:41,930 --> 00:02:39,900 for a relatively long time has 67 00:02:43,970 --> 00:02:41,940 synthesized a lot of different sources 68 00:02:46,550 --> 00:02:43,980 has let me pull up on the screen for 69 00:02:48,050 --> 00:02:46,560 anyone who's watching written a bunch of 70 00:02:49,910 --> 00:02:48,060 other books 71 00:02:53,330 --> 00:02:49,920 and those are just some of them on the 72 00:02:56,509 --> 00:02:53,340 website anthonypeak.com you can also 73 00:03:00,890 --> 00:02:56,519 find them on Amazon you know the last 74 00:03:03,649 --> 00:03:00,900 time you were on skeptico was 447 75 00:03:06,170 --> 00:03:03,659 really enjoyed the chat and it was kind 76 00:03:09,290 --> 00:03:06,180 of centered around this book The Hidden 77 00:03:10,970 --> 00:03:09,300 Universe an investigation into non-human 78 00:03:14,149 --> 00:03:10,980 intelligences 79 00:03:17,509 --> 00:03:14,159 really another great book you know I I 80 00:03:20,990 --> 00:03:17,519 mentioned this the last time we spoke 81 00:03:24,589 --> 00:03:21,000 and I want to mention it again because 82 00:03:27,050 --> 00:03:24,599 what you do is really quite unique and 83 00:03:28,729 --> 00:03:27,060 what you've been able to kind of muster 84 00:03:32,750 --> 00:03:28,739 and just kind of plow your way through 85 00:03:34,789 --> 00:03:32,760 is this non-ordained kind of researcher 86 00:03:37,070 --> 00:03:34,799 of Consciousness which I think is part 87 00:03:39,770 --> 00:03:37,080 of this thing like they have people like 88 00:03:42,890 --> 00:03:39,780 I gotta say this because I you know this 89 00:03:46,550 --> 00:03:42,900 is going to be a true Socratic skeptico 90 00:03:49,570 --> 00:03:46,560 kind of thing I don't agree with uh all 91 00:03:53,030 --> 00:03:49,580 your all your theories but I really 92 00:03:54,429 --> 00:03:53,040 admire and I think if it was a more just 93 00:03:56,990 --> 00:03:54,439 World 94 00:03:58,789 --> 00:03:57,000 academically intellectually 95 00:04:00,410 --> 00:03:58,799 we would think about you in a much 96 00:04:03,410 --> 00:04:00,420 different way you would have multiple 97 00:04:05,869 --> 00:04:03,420 phds you'd be kind of much more sought 98 00:04:08,690 --> 00:04:05,879 after in terms of the way you're 99 00:04:11,089 --> 00:04:08,700 synthesizing this information but that's 100 00:04:13,789 --> 00:04:11,099 never going to happen because from Jump 101 00:04:16,249 --> 00:04:13,799 Street you are counter very counter 102 00:04:18,289 --> 00:04:16,259 fundamentally to the whole Consciousness 103 00:04:20,509 --> 00:04:18,299 biological robot meaningless universe 104 00:04:22,310 --> 00:04:20,519 and you know if you're a Liverpool guy 105 00:04:24,050 --> 00:04:22,320 and you're just kind of a street guy 106 00:04:26,030 --> 00:04:24,060 you're not afraid to say hey that's just 107 00:04:28,730 --> 00:04:26,040 obviously so we can kind of 108 00:04:32,689 --> 00:04:28,740 dismiss with that and now let's explore 109 00:04:34,010 --> 00:04:32,699 this let's explore that and you know the 110 00:04:36,110 --> 00:04:34,020 fact that you've been able to gain any 111 00:04:40,550 --> 00:04:36,120 traction at all 112 00:04:43,189 --> 00:04:40,560 it is is amazing let alone write these 113 00:04:46,189 --> 00:04:43,199 really fantastically interesting books 114 00:04:48,710 --> 00:04:46,199 that are packed with solid research 115 00:04:50,930 --> 00:04:48,720 solid you know peer-reviewed stuff 116 00:04:53,150 --> 00:04:50,940 that's coming onto the scene and you are 117 00:04:56,689 --> 00:04:53,160 then synthesizing into your theory so 118 00:04:59,390 --> 00:04:56,699 that's what you do and I'm so glad 119 00:05:01,010 --> 00:04:59,400 you're out there doing it 120 00:05:03,050 --> 00:05:01,020 thanks Alex I mean one of the things 121 00:05:04,790 --> 00:05:03,060 that I find is that and I've used this 122 00:05:07,670 --> 00:05:04,800 argument many many times I mean I have 123 00:05:10,129 --> 00:05:07,680 been offered places to do it do phds on 124 00:05:11,689 --> 00:05:10,139 the back of my research and indeed over 125 00:05:13,670 --> 00:05:11,699 the years I've been offered the 126 00:05:15,170 --> 00:05:13,680 opportunity to do phds in various 127 00:05:17,029 --> 00:05:15,180 different subjects I mean initially when 128 00:05:19,430 --> 00:05:17,039 I started off I was planning to do a PhD 129 00:05:20,570 --> 00:05:19,440 in Italian Renaissance Art and 130 00:05:23,870 --> 00:05:20,580 particularly the paintings of a guy 131 00:05:26,629 --> 00:05:23,880 called Puro de la Francesca which you've 132 00:05:28,370 --> 00:05:26,639 developed my interest in um esotericism 133 00:05:30,350 --> 00:05:28,380 because I was interested in the esoteric 134 00:05:32,749 --> 00:05:30,360 aspects of a lot of the Renaissance 135 00:05:34,850 --> 00:05:32,759 painters and the symbolism within the 136 00:05:36,710 --> 00:05:34,860 paintings and of course at that period 137 00:05:38,510 --> 00:05:36,720 you had people like pico de merendola 138 00:05:40,550 --> 00:05:38,520 you had various other philosophers and 139 00:05:42,830 --> 00:05:40,560 everything else as well in in Florence 140 00:05:44,330 --> 00:05:42,840 and various other cities then I had the 141 00:05:46,310 --> 00:05:44,340 opportunity to do a PhD in business 142 00:05:48,469 --> 00:05:46,320 management after I did my postgraduate 143 00:05:51,409 --> 00:05:48,479 course at London School of economics 144 00:05:53,629 --> 00:05:51,419 but I don't I always argued that it's 145 00:05:55,249 --> 00:05:53,639 not possible to do a PhD in the areas 146 00:05:58,730 --> 00:05:55,259 I'm interested in because it's too 147 00:06:00,890 --> 00:05:58,740 diverse it's too wide in order to to 148 00:06:03,309 --> 00:06:00,900 write the kind of stuff I write about 149 00:06:05,330 --> 00:06:03,319 you'd need to have a PhD in neurology 150 00:06:08,629 --> 00:06:05,340 astrophysics quantum physics 151 00:06:10,309 --> 00:06:08,639 neurochemistry so what I do is I try to 152 00:06:13,189 --> 00:06:10,319 synthesize all these things and bring 153 00:06:15,409 --> 00:06:13,199 them together in in a way that people 154 00:06:16,909 --> 00:06:15,419 can understand and appreciate because I 155 00:06:19,790 --> 00:06:16,919 think there's too much going on here 156 00:06:21,710 --> 00:06:19,800 that we know that quantum physics is 157 00:06:24,830 --> 00:06:21,720 telling us universities are far far 158 00:06:27,170 --> 00:06:24,840 stranger place than anything we can 159 00:06:29,689 --> 00:06:27,180 possibly understand and in this case I 160 00:06:31,969 --> 00:06:29,699 particularly I I quote somebody like I 161 00:06:34,129 --> 00:06:31,979 don't know Richard Feynman one of the 162 00:06:36,350 --> 00:06:34,139 world's leading Quantum physicists and 163 00:06:38,390 --> 00:06:36,360 he said to his students and he said you 164 00:06:40,850 --> 00:06:38,400 know when you first doing when you first 165 00:06:42,710 --> 00:06:40,860 do your courses on quantum physics don't 166 00:06:44,510 --> 00:06:42,720 try to understand it don't go down the 167 00:06:46,249 --> 00:06:44,520 rabbit hole because there lies Insanity 168 00:06:48,650 --> 00:06:46,259 we don't know 169 00:06:50,870 --> 00:06:48,660 what is going on but we know it works 170 00:06:53,089 --> 00:06:50,880 and this is the thing of course quantum 171 00:06:54,890 --> 00:06:53,099 physics is the most accurate fall of 172 00:06:56,749 --> 00:06:54,900 science we've ever had in history you 173 00:06:59,689 --> 00:06:56,759 know it's accurate to I think somebody 174 00:07:01,850 --> 00:06:59,699 said one hers length in terms of 175 00:07:04,670 --> 00:07:01,860 statistics one hair's length across the 176 00:07:07,249 --> 00:07:04,680 Atlantic in terms of distance that's how 177 00:07:10,189 --> 00:07:07,259 accurate it is but nobody understands 178 00:07:11,930 --> 00:07:10,199 fully what it means now I think the only 179 00:07:14,450 --> 00:07:11,940 way you can ever appreciate fully what 180 00:07:16,189 --> 00:07:14,460 quantum mechanics really means is to 181 00:07:19,430 --> 00:07:16,199 start applying the cosmology to it 182 00:07:21,770 --> 00:07:19,440 applying the the the philosophy behind 183 00:07:24,890 --> 00:07:21,780 it and in the book this is what I try to 184 00:07:28,010 --> 00:07:24,900 do I have whole sections on vedanta 185 00:07:30,350 --> 00:07:28,020 I have sections on kashmiri shavism I 186 00:07:33,610 --> 00:07:30,360 have sections on the great philosophers 187 00:07:35,809 --> 00:07:33,620 in his historical times who argued that 188 00:07:38,990 --> 00:07:35,819 that the relationship between 189 00:07:40,850 --> 00:07:39,000 Consciousness and external reality is Is 190 00:07:42,529 --> 00:07:40,860 Not What It Seems you know there's a 191 00:07:44,749 --> 00:07:42,539 term that people use it's called naive 192 00:07:46,490 --> 00:07:44,759 realism the idea that there is a 193 00:07:48,770 --> 00:07:46,500 one-to-one relationship between what my 194 00:07:50,749 --> 00:07:48,780 brain tells me is out there and what is 195 00:07:53,869 --> 00:07:50,759 physically out there you know there's 196 00:07:55,670 --> 00:07:53,879 all these things you know when you when 197 00:07:59,089 --> 00:07:55,680 you when you first come across the 198 00:08:04,749 --> 00:07:59,099 discovery that everything that seems to 199 00:08:08,869 --> 00:08:07,249 99.999999999996 empty space 200 00:08:10,670 --> 00:08:08,879 and the only things that are physically 201 00:08:13,189 --> 00:08:10,680 solid are Point particles such as 202 00:08:14,930 --> 00:08:13,199 electrons and quarks both of which 203 00:08:16,730 --> 00:08:14,940 appoint particles which means they have 204 00:08:18,710 --> 00:08:16,740 no extension in space 205 00:08:20,510 --> 00:08:18,720 so where does reality disappear to I 206 00:08:22,909 --> 00:08:20,520 came across a quotation recently that I 207 00:08:26,330 --> 00:08:22,919 really loved where uh I think it was 208 00:08:28,490 --> 00:08:26,340 Rutherford discovered the the nucleus of 209 00:08:30,290 --> 00:08:28,500 the atom at Manchester University when 210 00:08:32,630 --> 00:08:30,300 he discovered that the vast part of the 211 00:08:34,490 --> 00:08:32,640 atom was empty space the next morning 212 00:08:36,050 --> 00:08:34,500 when he woke up he was terrified to step 213 00:08:37,370 --> 00:08:36,060 out of bed in case he fell through the 214 00:08:41,870 --> 00:08:37,380 floor 215 00:08:44,329 --> 00:08:41,880 now this shows exactly how strange 216 00:08:47,090 --> 00:08:44,339 reality is and that's all I write about 217 00:08:49,670 --> 00:08:47,100 you know I I don't do I believe my 218 00:08:51,410 --> 00:08:49,680 hypothesis I don't know I don't know 219 00:08:52,610 --> 00:08:51,420 whether I believe it all I know is that 220 00:08:54,949 --> 00:08:52,620 the science 221 00:08:57,470 --> 00:08:54,959 points me in that direction 222 00:08:58,910 --> 00:08:57,480 so uh great that's kind of a good segue 223 00:09:02,230 --> 00:08:58,920 into 224 00:09:05,389 --> 00:09:02,240 the theory because since this book is 225 00:09:08,570 --> 00:09:05,399 kind of uh I don't know what you'd call 226 00:09:10,850 --> 00:09:08,580 it a reboot recap of this body work 227 00:09:13,310 --> 00:09:10,860 tell us about the basics tell us about 228 00:09:15,170 --> 00:09:13,320 the ferryman who is the ferryman and 229 00:09:17,630 --> 00:09:15,180 tell us about the Damon who's the Damon 230 00:09:19,130 --> 00:09:17,640 and you know just thumbnail sketch I 231 00:09:21,530 --> 00:09:19,140 think that's important and I think it 232 00:09:23,329 --> 00:09:21,540 you know even before you get there you 233 00:09:24,470 --> 00:09:23,339 kind of sketched out some of your 234 00:09:27,070 --> 00:09:24,480 background 235 00:09:29,530 --> 00:09:27,080 take us back even further if you will 236 00:09:33,889 --> 00:09:29,540 just how did you even 237 00:09:36,650 --> 00:09:33,899 develop as a person into you know in 238 00:09:39,769 --> 00:09:36,660 thinking weird creature I am now oh no 239 00:09:41,750 --> 00:09:39,779 to the amazing creature into the Bold 240 00:09:43,790 --> 00:09:41,760 creature who says 241 00:09:46,610 --> 00:09:43,800 I'm going to take a year off of my 242 00:09:49,550 --> 00:09:46,620 profession I'm going to risk not having 243 00:09:51,530 --> 00:09:49,560 any money being broke because I ought to 244 00:09:53,090 --> 00:09:51,540 write a book you know what I mean and 245 00:09:54,530 --> 00:09:53,100 then write it and I didn't even know 246 00:09:56,870 --> 00:09:54,540 what I was going to write it about that 247 00:09:58,430 --> 00:09:56,880 was the extraordinary thing I mean I you 248 00:09:59,870 --> 00:09:58,440 know I have a very understanding wife 249 00:10:01,550 --> 00:09:59,880 and she said look you really want to 250 00:10:03,530 --> 00:10:01,560 write this book okay you know write the 251 00:10:05,870 --> 00:10:03,540 book take a year out just take it out 252 00:10:07,430 --> 00:10:05,880 and the first day when I was sitting in 253 00:10:09,889 --> 00:10:07,440 front of the screen you know those 254 00:10:12,290 --> 00:10:09,899 writers say this the blank screen or the 255 00:10:14,449 --> 00:10:12,300 white page crisis and you go right I've 256 00:10:16,490 --> 00:10:14,459 now got to start you know and I'm I'm a 257 00:10:18,170 --> 00:10:16,500 terrible procrastinator I find all 258 00:10:19,550 --> 00:10:18,180 things to do with them the thing I'm 259 00:10:21,350 --> 00:10:19,560 supposed to be doing you know I'll 260 00:10:23,449 --> 00:10:21,360 listen to music I'll do all kinds of 261 00:10:25,130 --> 00:10:23,459 things but what happened was he was 262 00:10:27,170 --> 00:10:25,140 quite curious in that I was sitting in 263 00:10:29,930 --> 00:10:27,180 front of the screen and I as I was doing 264 00:10:31,790 --> 00:10:29,940 so I started the the the end of my 265 00:10:33,410 --> 00:10:31,800 finger starts to go dead and my lips 266 00:10:35,389 --> 00:10:33,420 started to tingle and I realized I was 267 00:10:36,889 --> 00:10:35,399 having a migraine Aura now I've 268 00:10:39,110 --> 00:10:36,899 experienced all my life what's 269 00:10:41,030 --> 00:10:39,120 technically called classic migraine 270 00:10:42,590 --> 00:10:41,040 which is you don't necessarily get a 271 00:10:44,690 --> 00:10:42,600 headache but what you do get is you get 272 00:10:46,430 --> 00:10:44,700 the aura State this kind of weird 273 00:10:48,829 --> 00:10:46,440 disembodied 274 00:10:50,870 --> 00:10:48,839 weird hallucinatory 275 00:10:52,009 --> 00:10:50,880 transitory state that you end up in and 276 00:10:54,050 --> 00:10:52,019 you know you're going to have a 277 00:10:56,509 --> 00:10:54,060 full-blown migraine soon afterwards 278 00:10:58,250 --> 00:10:56,519 and mine starts in that way where I get 279 00:10:59,750 --> 00:10:58,260 tingling in my fingers and then my 280 00:11:01,550 --> 00:10:59,760 eyesight starts to go I start going 281 00:11:03,889 --> 00:11:01,560 blind I get white out it's called a 282 00:11:05,389 --> 00:11:03,899 scotoma and it moves across from the 283 00:11:07,190 --> 00:11:05,399 center of my vision right across since 284 00:11:10,130 --> 00:11:07,200 literally I cannot see 285 00:11:12,290 --> 00:11:10,140 and this started but what was uncanny 286 00:11:14,810 --> 00:11:12,300 was that at the time at the time I also 287 00:11:18,350 --> 00:11:14,820 had the most incredible sensation of 288 00:11:21,110 --> 00:11:18,360 deja vu that I was that I had at some 289 00:11:23,630 --> 00:11:21,120 time in my past sat in front of that 290 00:11:26,509 --> 00:11:23,640 computer screen in my home in Horsham in 291 00:11:29,569 --> 00:11:26,519 West Sussex down in here in the UK and 292 00:11:31,009 --> 00:11:29,579 when I came out of the aura State I 293 00:11:33,050 --> 00:11:31,019 realized what I wanted to write about I 294 00:11:36,170 --> 00:11:33,060 wanted to understand exactly what Deja 295 00:11:38,509 --> 00:11:36,180 Vu was and that was the abiding driving 296 00:11:41,269 --> 00:11:38,519 force now just a little bit of a 297 00:11:44,930 --> 00:11:41,279 background story I'm from a very working 298 00:11:48,370 --> 00:11:44,940 class background I'm a regular guy but I 299 00:11:51,290 --> 00:11:48,380 I was gifted I suppose with 300 00:11:54,829 --> 00:11:51,300 peculiar memory I've always had this 301 00:11:56,629 --> 00:11:54,839 peculiar virtually eidetic memory uh 302 00:11:59,090 --> 00:11:56,639 where virtually sometimes you know I can 303 00:12:00,590 --> 00:11:59,100 I can remember something I don't even 304 00:12:03,650 --> 00:12:00,600 have to go through the recall facility 305 00:12:05,329 --> 00:12:03,660 it just comes into my mind or I'll be 306 00:12:07,389 --> 00:12:05,339 able to read it I mean I've read the 307 00:12:10,129 --> 00:12:07,399 Encyclopedia Britannica from end to end 308 00:12:12,829 --> 00:12:10,139 and sometimes I will think of something 309 00:12:14,269 --> 00:12:12,839 and a concept and I'll see the page in 310 00:12:15,889 --> 00:12:14,279 front of me from the encyclopedia 311 00:12:18,050 --> 00:12:15,899 botanic and I can read down it I can 312 00:12:21,170 --> 00:12:18,060 look at it which means I've never been 313 00:12:23,150 --> 00:12:21,180 beaten in Trivial Pursuit ever beat me 314 00:12:25,129 --> 00:12:23,160 in Trivial Pursuit I've already watched 315 00:12:27,410 --> 00:12:25,139 you on on your team everybody wants you 316 00:12:29,090 --> 00:12:27,420 on their team I I used to actually earn 317 00:12:31,310 --> 00:12:29,100 a living on quizzes when I was a period 318 00:12:33,590 --> 00:12:31,320 of unemployed I used to be in quiz teams 319 00:12:35,389 --> 00:12:33,600 and I used to drain the quiz machines in 320 00:12:37,730 --> 00:12:35,399 the pubs and things because it's just 321 00:12:39,230 --> 00:12:37,740 the peculiar thing I can do but it meant 322 00:12:42,590 --> 00:12:39,240 that over the years and I've always been 323 00:12:45,889 --> 00:12:42,600 interested in unusual phenomena ever 324 00:12:49,970 --> 00:12:45,899 since I first read John Keel way back in 325 00:12:52,550 --> 00:12:49,980 the late 1960s and I then read a British 326 00:12:55,550 --> 00:12:52,560 part work called man myth and Magic when 327 00:12:57,889 --> 00:12:55,560 I was about 10 or 11. and this made me 328 00:12:59,870 --> 00:12:57,899 decide that I when and if I got to 329 00:13:01,670 --> 00:12:59,880 University and at that stage it wasn't 330 00:13:03,470 --> 00:13:01,680 looking that promising because I'd 331 00:13:06,170 --> 00:13:03,480 failed my 11 plus I was a secondary 332 00:13:08,329 --> 00:13:06,180 modern school but I managed to get to 333 00:13:10,970 --> 00:13:08,339 the local grammar school when I was 15 334 00:13:12,970 --> 00:13:10,980 and I flew at the grammar school because 335 00:13:15,710 --> 00:13:12,980 it was it was it was my kind of 336 00:13:17,870 --> 00:13:15,720 environment I was very sporty so they 337 00:13:21,110 --> 00:13:17,880 liked sporty kids I was an athlete so 338 00:13:24,470 --> 00:13:21,120 they loved that but on top of that I had 339 00:13:26,150 --> 00:13:24,480 this way with words and I I could write 340 00:13:28,009 --> 00:13:26,160 and everything else as well and I did 341 00:13:30,530 --> 00:13:28,019 phenomenally well and I did very well at 342 00:13:34,069 --> 00:13:30,540 my a levels and from four years of being 343 00:13:36,170 --> 00:13:34,079 a no Mark kid at a a really rough School 344 00:13:37,370 --> 00:13:36,180 I was I was I got a place at one of 345 00:13:39,470 --> 00:13:37,380 Britain's top universities the 346 00:13:41,449 --> 00:13:39,480 University of Warwick and also to read 347 00:13:42,949 --> 00:13:41,459 sociology and history which again was 348 00:13:44,990 --> 00:13:42,959 stretching myself because I was doing 349 00:13:46,670 --> 00:13:45,000 two degrees in parallel and I chose 350 00:13:48,650 --> 00:13:46,680 sociology and history because the 351 00:13:50,090 --> 00:13:48,660 sociology I was interested in because it 352 00:13:52,790 --> 00:13:50,100 gave me the opportunity to study 353 00:13:54,769 --> 00:13:52,800 religion it gave me the opportunity to 354 00:13:56,150 --> 00:13:54,779 study Cults and religious cults and 355 00:13:58,730 --> 00:13:56,160 belief systems 356 00:14:00,829 --> 00:13:58,740 so I was able to dive into the sociology 357 00:14:02,750 --> 00:14:00,839 of what it means when people are 358 00:14:04,730 --> 00:14:02,760 Jehovah's Witnesses and when people 359 00:14:06,710 --> 00:14:04,740 suffer from cognitive dissonance when 360 00:14:08,389 --> 00:14:06,720 Jesus doesn't come when they expect him 361 00:14:10,670 --> 00:14:08,399 to this kind of thing so I'm very much 362 00:14:13,910 --> 00:14:10,680 focused in on that and in terms of my 363 00:14:16,430 --> 00:14:13,920 history I again focused in on the 364 00:14:19,189 --> 00:14:16,440 history of esoteric belief systems and I 365 00:14:21,110 --> 00:14:19,199 was particularly interested in the crazy 366 00:14:24,290 --> 00:14:21,120 strange religious movements that came 367 00:14:26,030 --> 00:14:24,300 out of the 30 Years War in in the 17th 368 00:14:28,129 --> 00:14:26,040 century in Germany and there were some 369 00:14:29,509 --> 00:14:28,139 very peculiar religious groups coming up 370 00:14:31,370 --> 00:14:29,519 then because of course it was the 371 00:14:33,350 --> 00:14:31,380 breakout from the rule of Catholicism 372 00:14:35,870 --> 00:14:33,360 and everybody was reading the Bible and 373 00:14:37,730 --> 00:14:35,880 interpreting it in their own way and of 374 00:14:39,889 --> 00:14:37,740 course it was then in the vernacular and 375 00:14:40,970 --> 00:14:39,899 the Vulgate so people could read the 376 00:14:43,129 --> 00:14:40,980 Bible and they came up with their own 377 00:14:44,629 --> 00:14:43,139 interpretations so this fascinated me 378 00:14:47,449 --> 00:14:44,639 but of course there was no real 379 00:14:49,490 --> 00:14:47,459 opportunities and when I got my degree 380 00:14:51,710 --> 00:14:49,500 and I wanted to do post-grad 381 00:14:53,629 --> 00:14:51,720 the only really opportunity for me to do 382 00:14:54,949 --> 00:14:53,639 postgraduates in business so I went to 383 00:14:57,590 --> 00:14:54,959 the London School of Economics to do a 384 00:15:00,769 --> 00:14:57,600 postgraduate course in in in industrial 385 00:15:02,990 --> 00:15:00,779 relations and labor law which I then did 386 00:15:05,269 --> 00:15:03,000 and and then I started a career within 387 00:15:07,009 --> 00:15:05,279 Human Resources management and 388 00:15:09,230 --> 00:15:07,019 compensation and benefits specializing 389 00:15:11,449 --> 00:15:09,240 in compensation benefits but all the 390 00:15:13,129 --> 00:15:11,459 time I was continually reading all the 391 00:15:14,629 --> 00:15:13,139 time I was reading books on the subject 392 00:15:16,189 --> 00:15:14,639 you can see from the books behind me 393 00:15:18,110 --> 00:15:16,199 people turn around to me and say you 394 00:15:21,650 --> 00:15:18,120 haven't read all those books I actually 395 00:15:23,930 --> 00:15:21,660 have you know and it meant that when I 396 00:15:25,189 --> 00:15:23,940 had the opportunity to write a book it 397 00:15:27,470 --> 00:15:25,199 was already in there 398 00:15:29,389 --> 00:15:27,480 but I didn't know my Daemon and we'll 399 00:15:32,269 --> 00:15:29,399 come into the Damon in a minute my Damon 400 00:15:35,629 --> 00:15:32,279 had led me from my various earliest age 401 00:15:38,269 --> 00:15:35,639 my own higher self had led me to read 402 00:15:42,230 --> 00:15:38,279 the right things in order for when I sat 403 00:15:43,370 --> 00:15:42,240 in that room in 1999 in Horsham I was 404 00:15:45,470 --> 00:15:43,380 ready to go 405 00:15:46,970 --> 00:15:45,480 and what happened was he was like you 406 00:15:49,189 --> 00:15:46,980 know young there's the youngin concept 407 00:15:51,470 --> 00:15:49,199 of the library angel I found this was 408 00:15:53,870 --> 00:15:51,480 happening I was finding the books I 409 00:15:56,329 --> 00:15:53,880 needed were just coming into my my world 410 00:15:58,129 --> 00:15:56,339 view it says I'd go into a library and a 411 00:15:59,389 --> 00:15:58,139 book I'd be there I mean I'll give you a 412 00:16:01,490 --> 00:15:59,399 really weird story about this my wife 413 00:16:03,050 --> 00:16:01,500 was talking about getting really hacked 414 00:16:04,610 --> 00:16:03,060 off with me about the way in which I 415 00:16:05,930 --> 00:16:04,620 felt I was being guided to write this 416 00:16:08,269 --> 00:16:05,940 book and we were staying with my 417 00:16:09,769 --> 00:16:08,279 brother-in-law in Cheltenham and we went 418 00:16:11,449 --> 00:16:09,779 into this Bookshop and the Bookshop 419 00:16:13,610 --> 00:16:11,459 books were piled hives the second hand 420 00:16:14,810 --> 00:16:13,620 Bookshop and Penny turns around to me 421 00:16:16,910 --> 00:16:14,820 she goes you know the way you think 422 00:16:19,490 --> 00:16:16,920 you're being guided and I said yes and 423 00:16:20,990 --> 00:16:19,500 she said okay what kind of book do you 424 00:16:22,189 --> 00:16:21,000 need now because this is a chaos of a 425 00:16:24,410 --> 00:16:22,199 bookshelf what kind of book do you need 426 00:16:26,509 --> 00:16:24,420 let's see if it really works so I said 427 00:16:28,730 --> 00:16:26,519 funnily enough I need a biography on 428 00:16:31,370 --> 00:16:28,740 William Blake and she's standing there 429 00:16:32,689 --> 00:16:31,380 and she goes oh for Christ's sake and it 430 00:16:34,670 --> 00:16:32,699 was right in front of her in the 431 00:16:37,009 --> 00:16:34,680 bookcase and she picked it out and she 432 00:16:39,710 --> 00:16:37,019 threw it across the room in frustration 433 00:16:41,569 --> 00:16:39,720 and stormed out and that was exactly the 434 00:16:43,850 --> 00:16:41,579 book I needed and there were quotations 435 00:16:45,829 --> 00:16:43,860 in there I needed I know you can add to 436 00:16:48,889 --> 00:16:45,839 this in a million different ways the 437 00:16:52,730 --> 00:16:48,899 phenomenon that you experienced is 438 00:16:55,970 --> 00:16:52,740 kind of retold dozens and dozens of time 439 00:16:58,249 --> 00:16:55,980 throughout history both with uh reading 440 00:17:01,550 --> 00:16:58,259 and literature but in science you know I 441 00:17:05,029 --> 00:17:01,560 needed the formula I needed the whatever 442 00:17:07,010 --> 00:17:05,039 you know right well it was like like you 443 00:17:09,529 --> 00:17:07,020 know needed to to understand the 444 00:17:12,049 --> 00:17:09,539 structure of benzene and he was sitting 445 00:17:14,870 --> 00:17:12,059 in front of a roaring log fire has a 446 00:17:17,150 --> 00:17:14,880 hypnagogic image and sees a snake eating 447 00:17:19,549 --> 00:17:17,160 its own tail and he realized that the 448 00:17:22,429 --> 00:17:19,559 ring it was a ring structure and Benzene 449 00:17:25,909 --> 00:17:22,439 was a ring structure Max Planck when Max 450 00:17:28,189 --> 00:17:25,919 Planck in 1900 maxophone stood up in 451 00:17:32,090 --> 00:17:28,199 December 1900 and changed signs forever 452 00:17:34,190 --> 00:17:32,100 uh at a meeting in in Berlin when he 453 00:17:37,130 --> 00:17:34,200 pointed out that energy came in small 454 00:17:41,210 --> 00:17:37,140 units or packages or quanta from the 455 00:17:44,029 --> 00:17:41,220 Latin and he said that that actual work 456 00:17:47,450 --> 00:17:44,039 he did was an act of desperation it was 457 00:17:50,390 --> 00:17:47,460 a piece of inspiration that he just 458 00:17:52,549 --> 00:17:50,400 threw the idea out like a crazy idea 459 00:17:54,470 --> 00:17:52,559 and it was right not only that but he 460 00:17:56,750 --> 00:17:54,480 come up with this number called the 461 00:17:58,490 --> 00:17:56,760 Planck constant which is now found in 462 00:18:00,890 --> 00:17:58,500 the universe everywhere in the universe 463 00:18:02,810 --> 00:18:00,900 the plant constant is there and yet was 464 00:18:04,970 --> 00:18:02,820 an arbitrary thing he just groped out 465 00:18:07,970 --> 00:18:04,980 the air so it seems that there's a 466 00:18:10,070 --> 00:18:07,980 relationship between us and the universe 467 00:18:12,890 --> 00:18:10,080 in other words when we think about the 468 00:18:14,930 --> 00:18:12,900 idea that everything is we are there's 469 00:18:16,669 --> 00:18:14,940 distance between things we know from 470 00:18:18,470 --> 00:18:16,679 quantum physics that everything is 471 00:18:20,510 --> 00:18:18,480 entangled there's a quantum physics 472 00:18:22,610 --> 00:18:20,520 things called entanglement where if you 473 00:18:25,190 --> 00:18:22,620 put two Quantum you put two Quantum 474 00:18:27,710 --> 00:18:25,200 particles like electrons or photons into 475 00:18:30,770 --> 00:18:27,720 the same Quantum state 476 00:18:32,750 --> 00:18:30,780 then you send them apart if you do one 477 00:18:34,430 --> 00:18:32,760 thing to one the other one reacts 478 00:18:37,070 --> 00:18:34,440 instantaneously 479 00:18:40,430 --> 00:18:37,080 now the world's most the the world 480 00:18:43,130 --> 00:18:40,440 should have stopped in 1981 when a guy 481 00:18:46,070 --> 00:18:43,140 called Alain aspay at the The Institute 482 00:18:49,250 --> 00:18:46,080 of Optics in Paris did an experiment 483 00:18:51,230 --> 00:18:49,260 which proved non-locality he proved 484 00:18:54,169 --> 00:18:51,240 something that a guy called John Bell 485 00:18:55,610 --> 00:18:54,179 had come across come across in 1964 a 486 00:18:58,909 --> 00:18:55,620 northern Irish guy that was working at 487 00:19:02,029 --> 00:18:58,919 CERN and this proved something called uh 488 00:19:04,310 --> 00:19:02,039 the Einstein Podolski Rose and Paradox 489 00:19:06,350 --> 00:19:04,320 which was written in the mid-1930s by 490 00:19:09,230 --> 00:19:06,360 Einstein and a few Associates 491 00:19:11,270 --> 00:19:09,240 and it proved breaking it down that 492 00:19:14,150 --> 00:19:11,280 there is no distance between things 493 00:19:16,430 --> 00:19:14,160 that we think that there's distance 494 00:19:19,909 --> 00:19:16,440 but there isn't everything is a single 495 00:19:21,590 --> 00:19:19,919 single Unity now if the sub sorry 496 00:19:24,710 --> 00:19:21,600 particles when they're put in close 497 00:19:27,770 --> 00:19:24,720 proximity to each other become entangled 498 00:19:30,230 --> 00:19:27,780 extrapolate from that the idea that at 499 00:19:33,310 --> 00:19:30,240 the first point of the Big Bang 500 00:19:36,049 --> 00:19:33,320 with the The Singularity of the Big Bang 501 00:19:39,230 --> 00:19:36,059 every single subatomic particle that is 502 00:19:40,630 --> 00:19:39,240 now in the universe was entangled in a 503 00:19:44,150 --> 00:19:40,640 point particle 504 00:19:45,529 --> 00:19:44,160 13.8 that's 13.7 billion years ago right 505 00:19:48,049 --> 00:19:45,539 but but Tony we've got to be a little 506 00:19:52,010 --> 00:19:48,059 careful because that's where people kind 507 00:19:53,870 --> 00:19:52,020 of lose the idea but it it's kind of a 508 00:19:55,970 --> 00:19:53,880 bridge too far in some ways in terms of 509 00:19:58,490 --> 00:19:55,980 filling it in because what I would 510 00:20:00,049 --> 00:19:58,500 really bring it back to and again in 511 00:20:02,890 --> 00:20:00,059 compliments to you in which you do it in 512 00:20:06,230 --> 00:20:02,900 the do in the book is you kind of show 513 00:20:07,970 --> 00:20:06,240 where the theory is meeting reality like 514 00:20:09,649 --> 00:20:07,980 the example you gave with bell the other 515 00:20:13,250 --> 00:20:09,659 one that that I had gone just the other 516 00:20:15,950 --> 00:20:13,260 day and Quantum Doug Metz Dr Doug 517 00:20:17,750 --> 00:20:15,960 Minsky's super smart client mechanics 518 00:20:20,570 --> 00:20:17,760 and Ai and stuff like that and we were 519 00:20:24,230 --> 00:20:20,580 chatting about you know there's a a 520 00:20:26,149 --> 00:20:24,240 Quantum modem now right and the Chinese 521 00:20:28,190 --> 00:20:26,159 have actually done this and they've 522 00:20:30,470 --> 00:20:28,200 demonstrated it and that always grabs 523 00:20:33,110 --> 00:20:30,480 people's attention is when it's oh 524 00:20:35,450 --> 00:20:33,120 they've engineered it so they've taken 525 00:20:37,130 --> 00:20:35,460 quantum entanglement and they've said 526 00:20:39,830 --> 00:20:37,140 but if you just 527 00:20:41,510 --> 00:20:39,840 take the idea that you're saying 528 00:20:42,770 --> 00:20:41,520 and like I love when you said you know 529 00:20:45,649 --> 00:20:42,780 the world should have stopped you know 530 00:20:47,870 --> 00:20:45,659 there's so many times that that there's 531 00:20:49,850 --> 00:20:47,880 so many points in the research that you 532 00:20:51,110 --> 00:20:49,860 talk about when you say the world should 533 00:20:53,110 --> 00:20:51,120 have stopped the world should have 534 00:20:55,789 --> 00:20:53,120 stopped when Max Planck said 535 00:20:57,350 --> 00:20:55,799 Consciousness is fundamental I'm I'm you 536 00:21:01,250 --> 00:20:57,360 know but the world should have stopped 537 00:21:04,130 --> 00:21:01,260 finally yeah anyways the point about the 538 00:21:06,169 --> 00:21:04,140 entanglement modem that I just want to 539 00:21:10,010 --> 00:21:06,179 bring it up so people can make this as a 540 00:21:12,110 --> 00:21:10,020 touchdown if you can entangle things and 541 00:21:14,450 --> 00:21:12,120 you can manipulate one thing and then 542 00:21:16,130 --> 00:21:14,460 have the other thing change think of 543 00:21:19,070 --> 00:21:16,140 what that means for a modem because 544 00:21:22,070 --> 00:21:19,080 that's what communication is about now 545 00:21:24,350 --> 00:21:22,080 they're just doing it with the keys the 546 00:21:26,750 --> 00:21:24,360 security keys but it's really the same 547 00:21:29,870 --> 00:21:26,760 thing to do with the data it's just the 548 00:21:31,850 --> 00:21:29,880 precursor but we will maybe talk about 549 00:21:35,090 --> 00:21:31,860 that in a minute but the fact that we've 550 00:21:38,390 --> 00:21:35,100 taken that and now engineered that 551 00:21:40,190 --> 00:21:38,400 brings us to a different level and I 552 00:21:42,890 --> 00:21:40,200 think you're knocking on that door a lot 553 00:21:45,710 --> 00:21:42,900 and saying hey look at this research you 554 00:21:49,430 --> 00:21:45,720 can't just pretend this stuff is in the 555 00:21:51,770 --> 00:21:49,440 abstract anymore but I I want to if we 556 00:21:54,830 --> 00:21:51,780 can return to something you said just a 557 00:21:56,990 --> 00:21:54,840 minute ago because it's important I 558 00:21:58,850 --> 00:21:57,000 guess when you said it I was kind of 559 00:22:00,950 --> 00:21:58,860 jiggled my memory a little bit I'm not 560 00:22:02,510 --> 00:22:00,960 quite as photographically memorable to 561 00:22:06,409 --> 00:22:02,520 have the photographic memory that you do 562 00:22:07,970 --> 00:22:06,419 but the jungian angel of the library 563 00:22:10,850 --> 00:22:07,980 kind of thing 564 00:22:12,950 --> 00:22:10,860 and then what you're saying in terms of 565 00:22:15,890 --> 00:22:12,960 your experience and the experience of 566 00:22:17,090 --> 00:22:15,900 many other famous famous scientists 567 00:22:19,370 --> 00:22:17,100 throughout time you know I always think 568 00:22:20,210 --> 00:22:19,380 didn't Francis Crick have something with 569 00:22:31,130 --> 00:22:20,220 the 570 00:22:33,289 --> 00:22:31,140 coming into play but Tony tie us down 571 00:22:34,730 --> 00:22:33,299 here you're calling that you're calling 572 00:22:36,830 --> 00:22:34,740 that out and you're saying well okay 573 00:22:38,930 --> 00:22:36,840 that's how you've understood it and 574 00:22:40,909 --> 00:22:38,940 here's the demonstrated instances where 575 00:22:43,250 --> 00:22:40,919 that happened but you're attaching that 576 00:22:45,049 --> 00:22:43,260 to this idea of the Daemon aren't you I 577 00:22:47,210 --> 00:22:45,059 am and of course you know when we talk 578 00:22:48,730 --> 00:22:47,220 about young young had his own Daemon he 579 00:22:52,669 --> 00:22:48,740 called it Philemon 580 00:22:55,190 --> 00:22:52,679 and Philemon was an entity that that was 581 00:22:58,130 --> 00:22:55,200 with young for most of his life and I 582 00:23:01,490 --> 00:22:58,140 would argue that the Daemon is our own 583 00:23:02,930 --> 00:23:01,500 higher self and that we all have a Damon 584 00:23:06,529 --> 00:23:02,940 all of us 585 00:23:08,690 --> 00:23:06,539 and it depends upon whether the doors of 586 00:23:11,810 --> 00:23:08,700 perception was all the soxly call them 587 00:23:13,610 --> 00:23:11,820 are open and to the extent they are open 588 00:23:15,770 --> 00:23:13,620 is the extent in which the Daemon can 589 00:23:17,149 --> 00:23:15,780 communicate because the demon is the 590 00:23:19,669 --> 00:23:17,159 part of you that's lived your life 591 00:23:23,390 --> 00:23:19,679 before and this is profoundly important 592 00:23:25,190 --> 00:23:23,400 the Damon knows how to guide you because 593 00:23:27,590 --> 00:23:25,200 it's already done it 594 00:23:30,110 --> 00:23:27,600 so when people turn around and say I had 595 00:23:32,029 --> 00:23:30,120 a precognitive dream or I had a 596 00:23:34,250 --> 00:23:32,039 precognitive Deja room 597 00:23:35,990 --> 00:23:34,260 that's not you remembering that it's the 598 00:23:37,549 --> 00:23:36,000 Daemon facilitating that because the 599 00:23:40,970 --> 00:23:37,559 Damon remembers it 600 00:23:42,769 --> 00:23:40,980 it's as I in my book on Philip K dick I 601 00:23:45,049 --> 00:23:42,779 use the term the F with Philip K dick 602 00:23:47,630 --> 00:23:45,059 the man who remembered the future 603 00:23:50,810 --> 00:23:47,640 because I argue that 604 00:23:53,210 --> 00:23:50,820 we live this life more than once and 605 00:23:55,010 --> 00:23:53,220 it's a simulation or an instantation 606 00:23:58,070 --> 00:23:55,020 which I think is a more formal or 607 00:23:59,750 --> 00:23:58,080 accurate term because simulation gives 608 00:24:01,789 --> 00:23:59,760 the impression that it's a simulation of 609 00:24:03,890 --> 00:24:01,799 something else whereas it's not it's 610 00:24:05,510 --> 00:24:03,900 it's an instantation of itself and I'm 611 00:24:07,970 --> 00:24:05,520 quoting here a guy called Dr Andrew 612 00:24:11,330 --> 00:24:07,980 Gallimore who is an associate of mine 613 00:24:14,090 --> 00:24:11,340 who lives in Okinawa in Japan who is an 614 00:24:15,769 --> 00:24:14,100 Oxford educated cybernetic engineer very 615 00:24:19,010 --> 00:24:15,779 interesting guy you must get him on your 616 00:24:20,690 --> 00:24:19,020 show his book on DMT and Altered States 617 00:24:23,570 --> 00:24:20,700 Of Consciousness is to die for it's 618 00:24:26,210 --> 00:24:23,580 brilliant but going back to it so the 619 00:24:28,070 --> 00:24:26,220 idea is that I use the the analogy and 620 00:24:29,810 --> 00:24:28,080 it's much easier as an analogy these 621 00:24:31,610 --> 00:24:29,820 days because people know it can you 622 00:24:34,730 --> 00:24:31,620 imagine that you were existing in a 623 00:24:38,630 --> 00:24:34,740 virtual reality three-dimensional 624 00:24:40,970 --> 00:24:38,640 first per third first person Viewpoint 625 00:24:42,529 --> 00:24:40,980 computer game of your life 626 00:24:45,590 --> 00:24:42,539 and in that game 627 00:24:47,269 --> 00:24:45,600 it is pro the program contains the 628 00:24:48,649 --> 00:24:47,279 outcome of every decision that you can 629 00:24:51,710 --> 00:24:48,659 possibly make 630 00:24:54,289 --> 00:24:51,720 okay what you do is you switch on the 631 00:24:55,669 --> 00:24:54,299 game and literally I I use the analogy 632 00:24:58,430 --> 00:24:55,679 in one of my books and say it's as if 633 00:25:01,250 --> 00:24:58,440 you've put on a super duper feedback 634 00:25:02,330 --> 00:25:01,260 suit the tactile feeds back your 635 00:25:05,029 --> 00:25:02,340 movements 636 00:25:07,549 --> 00:25:05,039 in the game so you know rather like with 637 00:25:09,710 --> 00:25:07,559 with the new Oculus you actually see a 638 00:25:11,330 --> 00:25:09,720 pair of hands on the screen when you're 639 00:25:12,769 --> 00:25:11,340 in virtual reality which are mimicking 640 00:25:14,870 --> 00:25:12,779 the movements of your own hands it's 641 00:25:16,130 --> 00:25:14,880 quite uncanny when you do this but the 642 00:25:18,890 --> 00:25:16,140 idea is that 643 00:25:20,870 --> 00:25:18,900 you are placed in this game and the 644 00:25:22,549 --> 00:25:20,880 first life you live 645 00:25:24,110 --> 00:25:22,559 you don't have a Daemon you're a 646 00:25:25,430 --> 00:25:24,120 singular Consciousness does your demon 647 00:25:27,890 --> 00:25:25,440 hasn't split off from you because you 648 00:25:30,169 --> 00:25:27,900 are the same as Jordan and at the end of 649 00:25:32,570 --> 00:25:30,179 that first life a bifurcation takes 650 00:25:36,409 --> 00:25:32,580 place at the point of death the Daemon 651 00:25:38,630 --> 00:25:36,419 and the adolon split off the edelon dies 652 00:25:41,390 --> 00:25:38,640 but the Daemon continues 653 00:25:44,510 --> 00:25:41,400 and finds itself being the game player 654 00:25:45,830 --> 00:25:44,520 of another a reboot of the game from the 655 00:25:48,409 --> 00:25:45,840 moment of birth 656 00:25:50,990 --> 00:25:48,419 and it literally is in a position where 657 00:25:52,730 --> 00:25:51,000 it sees or perceives the life of its 658 00:25:55,070 --> 00:25:52,740 idle on screen 659 00:25:56,269 --> 00:25:55,080 now you can imagine a scenario here that 660 00:25:59,090 --> 00:25:56,279 initially 661 00:26:00,769 --> 00:25:59,100 the Daemon can't really influence the 662 00:26:02,450 --> 00:26:00,779 on-screen Sprite because it's 663 00:26:04,130 --> 00:26:02,460 independent because it's to do with the 664 00:26:06,230 --> 00:26:04,140 way the brain structures to do with an 665 00:26:09,409 --> 00:26:06,240 abdominant and non-dominant hemisphere 666 00:26:12,049 --> 00:26:09,419 is the break but the idea is that 667 00:26:13,730 --> 00:26:12,059 the the on-screen Sprite saying we'll 668 00:26:15,409 --> 00:26:13,740 use Lara Croft which is a good example 669 00:26:17,570 --> 00:26:15,419 of this so you switch on the second game 670 00:26:20,090 --> 00:26:17,580 you've played the game once before so 671 00:26:21,110 --> 00:26:20,100 you know the layout of the the tomb that 672 00:26:23,570 --> 00:26:21,120 she's supposed to be wandering around 673 00:26:25,789 --> 00:26:23,580 she starts running off and she goes into 674 00:26:27,830 --> 00:26:25,799 a room and she gets eaten by a monster 675 00:26:29,269 --> 00:26:27,840 she gets killed she's died so she comes 676 00:26:31,430 --> 00:26:29,279 back new game 677 00:26:33,110 --> 00:26:31,440 the Damon it's now the third game but 678 00:26:34,310 --> 00:26:33,120 this time the Damon knows to not go in 679 00:26:37,130 --> 00:26:34,320 that room because there's a monster in 680 00:26:39,769 --> 00:26:37,140 there the skill the Damon has is how it 681 00:26:41,930 --> 00:26:39,779 communicates with its edelon to not have 682 00:26:44,269 --> 00:26:41,940 the edelon go into that room and this is 683 00:26:46,130 --> 00:26:44,279 when in life we have hunches when we 684 00:26:48,529 --> 00:26:46,140 have feelings and we meet somebody and 685 00:26:50,210 --> 00:26:48,539 you think not too sure about this person 686 00:26:52,789 --> 00:26:50,220 I believe this is what really is 687 00:26:55,850 --> 00:26:52,799 happening is that there's parts of you 688 00:26:58,370 --> 00:26:55,860 that's recognizing the situation and is 689 00:27:00,590 --> 00:26:58,380 trying to warn you now if your doors are 690 00:27:02,570 --> 00:27:00,600 perceptional vaguely open 691 00:27:05,810 --> 00:27:02,580 you'll have precognitive dreams or 692 00:27:07,370 --> 00:27:05,820 you'll have inklings or feelings but if 693 00:27:09,049 --> 00:27:07,380 your doors are perceptional wide or open 694 00:27:11,810 --> 00:27:09,059 and I argue for instance people 695 00:27:13,370 --> 00:27:11,820 experience temporalobe epilepsy 696 00:27:15,169 --> 00:27:13,380 the Daemon can communicate much more 697 00:27:17,269 --> 00:27:15,179 effectively it can speak to them 698 00:27:19,370 --> 00:27:17,279 sometimes and indeed there is a friend 699 00:27:21,049 --> 00:27:19,380 of mine Myron dial who's Damon 700 00:27:22,970 --> 00:27:21,059 manifested when he was four years old 701 00:27:25,789 --> 00:27:22,980 and they've been together for the whole 702 00:27:27,769 --> 00:27:25,799 of his life he's now in his late 70s and 703 00:27:29,210 --> 00:27:27,779 his demon is called Caron which is 704 00:27:32,289 --> 00:27:29,220 interesting because it's the ferryman 705 00:27:35,810 --> 00:27:32,299 which again is fascinating and and and 706 00:27:38,450 --> 00:27:35,820 he tells me all the time about how Karen 707 00:27:40,610 --> 00:27:38,460 guides him how Karen gives him visions 708 00:27:42,830 --> 00:27:40,620 and there was one example he gave me 709 00:27:44,870 --> 00:27:42,840 where Karen gave him a vision when he 710 00:27:47,570 --> 00:27:44,880 was about 25 years old 711 00:27:50,149 --> 00:27:47,580 and he saw in this vision 712 00:27:53,210 --> 00:27:50,159 an elderly man sitting in a studio 713 00:27:55,190 --> 00:27:53,220 with a pile of books notebooks red 714 00:27:57,430 --> 00:27:55,200 notebooks and he was surrounded by the 715 00:28:00,409 --> 00:27:57,440 incredible paintings and sculptures 716 00:28:02,690 --> 00:28:00,419 it was only when he was in his 60s he's 717 00:28:05,330 --> 00:28:02,700 sitting there in his room 718 00:28:07,610 --> 00:28:05,340 and he senses a presence behind him 719 00:28:09,769 --> 00:28:07,620 and he thinks oh my God looked and there 720 00:28:12,169 --> 00:28:09,779 were the red books in front of him and 721 00:28:14,810 --> 00:28:12,179 all his art was all around him and he 722 00:28:16,610 --> 00:28:14,820 realized that he'd been seeing his own 723 00:28:17,990 --> 00:28:16,620 futurist Damon had given a glimpse of 724 00:28:19,610 --> 00:28:18,000 his own future 725 00:28:22,610 --> 00:28:19,620 Philip K dick had the same things 726 00:28:24,769 --> 00:28:22,620 happened to him so the idea is that the 727 00:28:28,370 --> 00:28:24,779 Daemon guides you through multiple lives 728 00:28:30,289 --> 00:28:28,380 and he it changes these these what I 729 00:28:32,870 --> 00:28:30,299 call or I suppose it's like an 730 00:28:34,909 --> 00:28:32,880 evolutionary thing that you play the 731 00:28:36,350 --> 00:28:34,919 game over and over again and you follow 732 00:28:38,930 --> 00:28:36,360 different routes 733 00:28:40,430 --> 00:28:38,940 and I argue that all of this 734 00:28:43,130 --> 00:28:40,440 information 735 00:28:45,350 --> 00:28:43,140 is digitally encoded 736 00:28:47,149 --> 00:28:45,360 within the universe itself within the 737 00:28:50,029 --> 00:28:47,159 zero point field within the quantum 738 00:28:52,010 --> 00:28:50,039 vacuum it's an information field 739 00:28:54,289 --> 00:28:52,020 and all this information is held and 740 00:28:56,690 --> 00:28:54,299 it's all to do with black holes believe 741 00:28:59,330 --> 00:28:56,700 it or not and it's all to do with the 742 00:29:01,310 --> 00:28:59,340 way in which information is processed 743 00:29:03,950 --> 00:29:01,320 within black holes 744 00:29:05,330 --> 00:29:03,960 and this is why in the work in my book I 745 00:29:06,590 --> 00:29:05,340 cite the work of people like Stephen 746 00:29:15,769 --> 00:29:06,600 Hawking 747 00:29:18,950 --> 00:29:15,779 black hole and the idea is that this is 748 00:29:20,450 --> 00:29:18,960 a huge hologram we are existing within a 749 00:29:22,909 --> 00:29:20,460 huge hologram 750 00:29:25,490 --> 00:29:22,919 reality Is Not What It Seems at its 751 00:29:27,230 --> 00:29:25,500 basis everything is information and 752 00:29:28,430 --> 00:29:27,240 information that is processed by a 753 00:29:30,350 --> 00:29:28,440 consciousness 754 00:29:32,029 --> 00:29:30,360 because we know in quantum mechanics and 755 00:29:33,350 --> 00:29:32,039 quantum physics from the princess twin 756 00:29:34,789 --> 00:29:33,360 slit experiment there's a direct 757 00:29:37,010 --> 00:29:34,799 relationship between the act of 758 00:29:39,950 --> 00:29:37,020 observation and whether a subatomic 759 00:29:42,409 --> 00:29:39,960 particle is a point particle or a wave 760 00:29:43,990 --> 00:29:42,419 and the act of observation or the act of 761 00:29:46,909 --> 00:29:44,000 measurement which is the same thing 762 00:29:49,370 --> 00:29:46,919 creates from a wave which of course is 763 00:29:50,810 --> 00:29:49,380 something that is smeared out and has no 764 00:29:53,330 --> 00:29:50,820 physical presence 765 00:29:54,649 --> 00:29:53,340 to a point particle which is a point 766 00:30:00,710 --> 00:29:54,659 particle in three-dimensional space 767 00:30:02,330 --> 00:30:00,720 right but hold on hold on hold on right 768 00:30:04,130 --> 00:30:02,340 because 769 00:30:06,169 --> 00:30:04,140 again I'm going to circle back and say 770 00:30:08,750 --> 00:30:06,179 the same thing over and over again I I I 771 00:30:11,750 --> 00:30:08,760 love where you're going and I love the 772 00:30:14,990 --> 00:30:11,760 launching off point which is hard 773 00:30:16,850 --> 00:30:15,000 science it kind of irrefutable 774 00:30:17,750 --> 00:30:16,860 scientific truths that we found like 775 00:30:19,430 --> 00:30:17,760 what you're talking about the double 776 00:30:20,990 --> 00:30:19,440 slit experiment which I always say is 777 00:30:22,970 --> 00:30:21,000 misnamed it's the Consciousness 778 00:30:25,370 --> 00:30:22,980 experiment that's what it is it's like 779 00:30:27,590 --> 00:30:25,380 does Consciousness exist answer over and 780 00:30:29,269 --> 00:30:27,600 over and over again is yes but we don't 781 00:30:31,669 --> 00:30:29,279 want to talk about Consciousness so 782 00:30:32,990 --> 00:30:31,679 let's talk about slits and photons and 783 00:30:35,510 --> 00:30:33,000 the rest of that and that's a good way 784 00:30:36,950 --> 00:30:35,520 to kind of change the dialogue which is 785 00:30:39,350 --> 00:30:36,960 part of the social engineering project 786 00:30:41,690 --> 00:30:39,360 you know I won't go off on that rant 787 00:30:44,930 --> 00:30:41,700 that I do a million times but what I do 788 00:30:47,630 --> 00:30:44,940 want to do in the process of doing that 789 00:30:50,690 --> 00:30:47,640 you've really done a great job of 790 00:30:53,269 --> 00:30:50,700 summing up the the ferryman theory if 791 00:30:55,490 --> 00:30:53,279 you will and you're hanging a bunch of 792 00:30:58,850 --> 00:30:55,500 things off it which are tremendous and 793 00:31:00,769 --> 00:30:58,860 that's why we want people to go check 794 00:31:03,950 --> 00:31:00,779 out the book 795 00:31:06,169 --> 00:31:03,960 cheating the ferryman get it read it 796 00:31:08,389 --> 00:31:06,179 it'll kind of put you right into the 797 00:31:10,730 --> 00:31:08,399 middle of this conversation what I want 798 00:31:12,169 --> 00:31:10,740 to launch into and it goes hand in hand 799 00:31:14,029 --> 00:31:12,179 we've already been doing this it's kind 800 00:31:16,789 --> 00:31:14,039 of like I said the the ghost skeptico 801 00:31:19,430 --> 00:31:16,799 but you're a grec file so you get the 802 00:31:22,909 --> 00:31:19,440 full Socratic you know Socrates was all 803 00:31:25,310 --> 00:31:22,919 about getting people together and kind 804 00:31:27,830 --> 00:31:25,320 of hashing stuff out and letting the 805 00:31:30,110 --> 00:31:27,840 best ideas kind of rise to the top 806 00:31:32,210 --> 00:31:30,120 follow the data kind of thing and it's 807 00:31:34,310 --> 00:31:32,220 such a beautiful thing and I I just 808 00:31:36,350 --> 00:31:34,320 can't believe how it's so lost in in our 809 00:31:38,570 --> 00:31:36,360 culture and I get it all the time 810 00:31:41,389 --> 00:31:38,580 because people are offended when you go 811 00:31:43,009 --> 00:31:41,399 you know you want to say oh well what 812 00:31:45,710 --> 00:31:43,019 about this what about that it's like oh 813 00:31:47,990 --> 00:31:45,720 you're challenging my beliefs everyone's 814 00:31:50,090 --> 00:31:48,000 opinion about a flat Earth matters you 815 00:31:52,070 --> 00:31:50,100 know it's like well no we don't really 816 00:31:54,289 --> 00:31:52,080 think that everyone's opinion matters 817 00:31:56,230 --> 00:31:54,299 why do we even want to play that game so 818 00:31:59,389 --> 00:31:56,240 we're not going to play that game here 819 00:32:02,330 --> 00:31:59,399 and what I want to do 820 00:32:05,029 --> 00:32:02,340 is kind of pose a couple of questions to 821 00:32:07,789 --> 00:32:05,039 you and a lot of them uh kind of came up 822 00:32:09,230 --> 00:32:07,799 last time but because there's so much to 823 00:32:11,330 --> 00:32:09,240 what you're doing and you're exploring 824 00:32:13,850 --> 00:32:11,340 so many areas that we can't always nail 825 00:32:15,889 --> 00:32:13,860 these things to the ground so let me 826 00:32:18,049 --> 00:32:15,899 pick out a couple of them and then we'll 827 00:32:20,930 --> 00:32:18,059 see how far they go and we'll see that 828 00:32:23,450 --> 00:32:20,940 it takes us so right off the bat one of 829 00:32:26,990 --> 00:32:23,460 the things that seems to me may be a 830 00:32:30,889 --> 00:32:27,000 bridge too far is the literal idea that 831 00:32:33,889 --> 00:32:30,899 you had an original life in a real 832 00:32:35,630 --> 00:32:33,899 Universe in in a real body whatever that 833 00:32:37,430 --> 00:32:35,640 means I think the rest of what you're 834 00:32:39,230 --> 00:32:37,440 saying stretches the definition of that 835 00:32:41,690 --> 00:32:39,240 original what that original physical 836 00:32:43,549 --> 00:32:41,700 reality would be but then the second 837 00:32:46,549 --> 00:32:43,559 thing I'd point you to is The 838 00:32:50,570 --> 00:32:46,559 Reincarnation science you know Jim 839 00:32:51,710 --> 00:32:50,580 Tucker Ian Stevenson before that and in 840 00:32:54,610 --> 00:32:51,720 particular 841 00:32:58,190 --> 00:32:54,620 you know the research they did with the 842 00:33:00,049 --> 00:32:58,200 birthmarks that correlate to Violent 843 00:33:02,509 --> 00:33:00,059 deaths that people had in a previous 844 00:33:04,789 --> 00:33:02,519 life because again let me in case people 845 00:33:07,490 --> 00:33:04,799 didn't pick up on this in cheating the 846 00:33:10,190 --> 00:33:07,500 ferryman you wouldn't have it would be a 847 00:33:12,490 --> 00:33:10,200 groundhog day situation you're coming 848 00:33:15,049 --> 00:33:12,500 back in the same you know you're playing 849 00:33:19,070 --> 00:33:15,059 the same game over and over again you're 850 00:33:20,870 --> 00:33:19,080 not switching to a different body so Jim 851 00:33:23,930 --> 00:33:20,880 Tucker Ian Stevenson go out and they go 852 00:33:26,149 --> 00:33:23,940 oh no this is how it looks and you are 853 00:33:29,269 --> 00:33:26,159 switching to a different body and by the 854 00:33:31,610 --> 00:33:29,279 way if you buy die a violent death then 855 00:33:34,430 --> 00:33:31,620 statistically you're more likely to 856 00:33:35,230 --> 00:33:34,440 bring along these birth birth marks as a 857 00:33:37,310 --> 00:33:35,240 physical 858 00:33:40,009 --> 00:33:37,320 manifestation of what you need to 859 00:33:43,190 --> 00:33:40,019 resolve this time around how do you 860 00:33:45,230 --> 00:33:43,200 process that science well I suppose I 861 00:33:47,450 --> 00:33:45,240 don't need to because there's no science 862 00:33:49,190 --> 00:33:47,460 there is no science that supports the 863 00:33:51,950 --> 00:33:49,200 idea of the transmigration of souls 864 00:33:54,230 --> 00:33:51,960 there is no science on that there's no 865 00:33:55,850 --> 00:33:54,240 signs I know there are there are there 866 00:33:56,990 --> 00:33:55,860 are stories and there are anecdotes and 867 00:33:58,789 --> 00:33:57,000 there are people turning around and 868 00:34:01,009 --> 00:33:58,799 saying well you know we've got the 869 00:34:03,649 --> 00:34:01,019 evidence for this but I know no science 870 00:34:05,810 --> 00:34:03,659 that can explain how a Consciousness can 871 00:34:09,050 --> 00:34:05,820 leave the body okay let me finish here 872 00:34:11,750 --> 00:34:09,060 it's quite important okay 873 00:34:13,790 --> 00:34:11,760 if you look at reincarnation and you 874 00:34:15,589 --> 00:34:13,800 look in reincarnation as it's it's 875 00:34:17,270 --> 00:34:15,599 described by the various religions 876 00:34:19,790 --> 00:34:17,280 around the world you start to have 877 00:34:22,190 --> 00:34:19,800 problems okay the first one is do you 878 00:34:25,190 --> 00:34:22,200 reincarnate in your own social group 879 00:34:27,649 --> 00:34:25,200 some belief you do some religious groups 880 00:34:30,169 --> 00:34:27,659 do do you reincarnate in different parts 881 00:34:32,450 --> 00:34:30,179 of the world do you reincarnate straight 882 00:34:33,889 --> 00:34:32,460 away do you reincarnate after five years 883 00:34:36,169 --> 00:34:33,899 after ten years 884 00:34:38,629 --> 00:34:36,179 they're all different every one of them 885 00:34:40,730 --> 00:34:38,639 is different from the Tlingit Indians in 886 00:34:42,530 --> 00:34:40,740 in in Seattle and and in in the 887 00:34:45,109 --> 00:34:42,540 Northwestern states of the United States 888 00:34:48,169 --> 00:34:45,119 have a completely different model of 889 00:34:51,050 --> 00:34:48,179 what reincarnation is from the Hindus 890 00:34:53,270 --> 00:34:51,060 okay so there is no standardization here 891 00:34:55,430 --> 00:34:53,280 of of reincarnation because there isn't 892 00:34:57,650 --> 00:34:55,440 so we can't pretend that there is that's 893 00:35:02,450 --> 00:34:57,660 the first point the second point is more 894 00:35:03,950 --> 00:35:02,460 important is how does a physical body a 895 00:35:06,230 --> 00:35:03,960 consciousness 896 00:35:08,750 --> 00:35:06,240 leave one body and then come into 897 00:35:11,030 --> 00:35:08,760 another does it come in randomly is it 898 00:35:12,950 --> 00:35:11,040 chosen who's doing the choosing who 899 00:35:16,250 --> 00:35:12,960 decides which body that person's gonna 900 00:35:19,130 --> 00:35:16,260 come into now I've read extensively the 901 00:35:22,490 --> 00:35:19,140 Ian Stevenson uh work it's very very 902 00:35:26,270 --> 00:35:22,500 good he's very very good but the things 903 00:35:29,390 --> 00:35:26,280 that he doesn't point out is pecuniary 904 00:35:31,370 --> 00:35:29,400 advantage in India the vast majority of 905 00:35:33,530 --> 00:35:31,380 cases of reincarnation are normally 906 00:35:35,150 --> 00:35:33,540 individuals from a lower caste who are 907 00:35:38,329 --> 00:35:35,160 claiming that a previous life was a 908 00:35:41,210 --> 00:35:38,339 higher cast you very rarely if ever get 909 00:35:43,609 --> 00:35:41,220 somebody from an upper cast claiming to 910 00:35:46,190 --> 00:35:43,619 be from a lower caste and I find that 911 00:35:49,550 --> 00:35:46,200 significant so that's that point let's 912 00:35:52,190 --> 00:35:49,560 go back then to the argument of scars 913 00:35:54,170 --> 00:35:52,200 well a I don't understand the process of 914 00:35:57,349 --> 00:35:54,180 why because you get scarred in one life 915 00:36:00,530 --> 00:35:57,359 and you leave one physical body behind 916 00:36:03,950 --> 00:36:00,540 and another body is recreated randomly 917 00:36:05,930 --> 00:36:03,960 from the DNA of somebody else how that 918 00:36:07,430 --> 00:36:05,940 scar transfers from one to the other if 919 00:36:09,530 --> 00:36:07,440 that makes no sense to me I don't know 920 00:36:11,210 --> 00:36:09,540 what the process is there but more 921 00:36:13,130 --> 00:36:11,220 importantly 922 00:36:14,990 --> 00:36:13,140 if we have had multiple multiple 923 00:36:18,050 --> 00:36:15,000 multiple lives 924 00:36:20,690 --> 00:36:18,060 over thousands of years will be covered 925 00:36:22,790 --> 00:36:20,700 in scars all of us would be covered in 926 00:36:24,950 --> 00:36:22,800 scars why aren't we 927 00:36:26,630 --> 00:36:24,960 why is there only certain individuals 928 00:36:29,150 --> 00:36:26,640 have scars and I'd say that's because 929 00:36:30,950 --> 00:36:29,160 it's coincidence or the scar has been 930 00:36:32,089 --> 00:36:30,960 noticed by somebody and they know that 931 00:36:35,750 --> 00:36:32,099 down the road 932 00:36:38,510 --> 00:36:35,760 uh somebody was killed and what was a 933 00:36:41,750 --> 00:36:38,520 symbol was a similarity between it but 934 00:36:44,450 --> 00:36:41,760 the scars aren't the same scars the 935 00:36:45,589 --> 00:36:44,460 scars in the same part of the body but 936 00:36:48,950 --> 00:36:45,599 statistically that's going to happen 937 00:36:51,410 --> 00:36:48,960 anyway we have moles on our bodies you 938 00:36:53,750 --> 00:36:51,420 know presumably in my Myriad of previous 939 00:36:56,089 --> 00:36:53,760 lives that I'd have had I'd have been 940 00:36:57,470 --> 00:36:56,099 killed a million dozens of times in 941 00:37:00,230 --> 00:36:57,480 different ways 942 00:37:02,810 --> 00:37:00,240 where are my scars why do some people 943 00:37:04,970 --> 00:37:02,820 have scars and not others what more 944 00:37:07,069 --> 00:37:04,980 importantly why do some people remember 945 00:37:09,470 --> 00:37:07,079 past lives and others don't 946 00:37:11,089 --> 00:37:09,480 what is the process why is it some 947 00:37:12,890 --> 00:37:11,099 people do and some people don't and 948 00:37:14,990 --> 00:37:12,900 indeed why is it even more important 949 00:37:17,270 --> 00:37:15,000 that when you do hypnotic regression to 950 00:37:19,430 --> 00:37:17,280 people the vast majority of people a 951 00:37:23,089 --> 00:37:19,440 regressed to being or believe themselves 952 00:37:25,310 --> 00:37:23,099 to be Egyptian princes or or you know 953 00:37:27,530 --> 00:37:25,320 Egypt they love being Egypt it's Egypt's 954 00:37:29,870 --> 00:37:27,540 the big thing isn't it so we've got to 955 00:37:31,790 --> 00:37:29,880 look at this really more carefully I 956 00:37:34,550 --> 00:37:31,800 work with recession regression 957 00:37:35,510 --> 00:37:34,560 hypnotists I work with two or three of 958 00:37:41,030 --> 00:37:35,520 them 959 00:37:44,089 --> 00:37:41,040 had discussions agree with me what is 960 00:37:47,329 --> 00:37:44,099 taking place here is there's the jungian 961 00:37:50,030 --> 00:37:47,339 collective unconscious which I call the 962 00:37:52,010 --> 00:37:50,040 the Uber demon which is the collective 963 00:37:53,930 --> 00:37:52,020 unconscious of all Humanity all 964 00:37:56,630 --> 00:37:53,940 Humanity's experiences 965 00:37:59,030 --> 00:37:56,640 and under certain circumstances 966 00:38:02,569 --> 00:37:59,040 and every aidolonic Consciousness can 967 00:38:04,550 --> 00:38:02,579 access that broader Consciousness now we 968 00:38:06,109 --> 00:38:04,560 know from hypnotism that the kind of 969 00:38:07,849 --> 00:38:06,119 people that are hypnotized are the kind 970 00:38:10,250 --> 00:38:07,859 of people who want to come across well 971 00:38:12,650 --> 00:38:10,260 we know this there's a Hypno hypnotic 972 00:38:14,990 --> 00:38:12,660 type so that person is going to try and 973 00:38:16,190 --> 00:38:15,000 draw up memories to keep the hypnotist 974 00:38:17,750 --> 00:38:16,200 happy 975 00:38:18,950 --> 00:38:17,760 so in which case they're going to draw 976 00:38:21,530 --> 00:38:18,960 up memories 977 00:38:23,750 --> 00:38:21,540 that may either be nonsense and a lot of 978 00:38:25,790 --> 00:38:23,760 them are nonsense you know even my 979 00:38:28,010 --> 00:38:25,800 friends who do this they that the vast 980 00:38:29,810 --> 00:38:28,020 majority is complete drivel 981 00:38:31,970 --> 00:38:29,820 you only ever hear of the cases when 982 00:38:35,390 --> 00:38:31,980 they can prove them you never hear the 983 00:38:37,370 --> 00:38:35,400 thousands of cases that are nonsense and 984 00:38:39,349 --> 00:38:37,380 cannot okay okay hold on hold on let me 985 00:38:40,970 --> 00:38:39,359 get a chance in here okay because you're 986 00:38:42,290 --> 00:38:40,980 kind of playing a lot on the table then 987 00:38:43,730 --> 00:38:42,300 I'm going to try and respond and it's 988 00:38:46,069 --> 00:38:43,740 going to be hard for people to go back 989 00:38:49,430 --> 00:38:46,079 and hear the whole thing so a couple of 990 00:38:51,710 --> 00:38:49,440 things I mean the the first point that 991 00:38:55,130 --> 00:38:51,720 I'd make is that 992 00:38:58,430 --> 00:38:55,140 I think you're being a little bit unfair 993 00:39:02,210 --> 00:38:58,440 to the various ways that we do science 994 00:39:04,670 --> 00:39:02,220 science is about observation and it is 995 00:39:06,710 --> 00:39:04,680 about collecting human accounts we 996 00:39:09,650 --> 00:39:06,720 accept that people experience depression 997 00:39:12,410 --> 00:39:09,660 we accept that people experience grief 998 00:39:13,910 --> 00:39:12,420 our reporting on that is almost 999 00:39:16,970 --> 00:39:13,920 exclusively 1000 00:39:19,430 --> 00:39:16,980 anecdotal right are you grieving okay 1001 00:39:21,829 --> 00:39:19,440 let's do this do you feel better are you 1002 00:39:23,750 --> 00:39:21,839 depressed do you feel better and we have 1003 00:39:25,609 --> 00:39:23,760 some neurological means of doing that 1004 00:39:28,450 --> 00:39:25,619 but for the most part it is what we 1005 00:39:31,790 --> 00:39:28,460 would call anecdotal until we start 1006 00:39:34,490 --> 00:39:31,800 applying the metrics that we have in the 1007 00:39:35,930 --> 00:39:34,500 social sciences which at this point are 1008 00:39:38,930 --> 00:39:35,940 pretty well established I mean people 1009 00:39:41,569 --> 00:39:38,940 can go in and do good science about how 1010 00:39:42,530 --> 00:39:41,579 people are self-reporting about how they 1011 00:39:45,950 --> 00:39:42,540 feel 1012 00:39:47,690 --> 00:39:45,960 so that I guess is is point one I I'm 1013 00:39:49,430 --> 00:39:47,700 with you on some of what you're saying 1014 00:39:51,950 --> 00:39:49,440 you know I just did an interview with uh 1015 00:39:54,069 --> 00:39:51,960 another guy you wouldn't like but he's 1016 00:39:58,190 --> 00:39:54,079 in I like everybody 1017 00:39:59,810 --> 00:39:58,200 I like debating I I I'm being facetious 1018 00:40:01,970 --> 00:39:59,820 because I think you are incredibly 1019 00:40:04,010 --> 00:40:01,980 incredibly open you know we're having 1020 00:40:06,770 --> 00:40:04,020 this conversation and I knew it would 1021 00:40:08,329 --> 00:40:06,780 not be you know any issue to just dive 1022 00:40:11,870 --> 00:40:08,339 into this this is what it's all about I 1023 00:40:15,650 --> 00:40:11,880 I got a feeling I got a feeling that you 1024 00:40:18,589 --> 00:40:15,660 do this in your head like 24 7. so I 1025 00:40:21,470 --> 00:40:18,599 don't I don't worry about it but like 1026 00:40:24,109 --> 00:40:21,480 I just interviewed again Dr Gregory 1027 00:40:26,329 --> 00:40:24,119 shushan I think is a great friend of 1028 00:40:28,550 --> 00:40:26,339 mine Greg I I Adore Greg he's been on my 1029 00:40:31,670 --> 00:40:28,560 show a couple of times a great guy so 1030 00:40:35,210 --> 00:40:31,680 shared shared near-death experiences 1031 00:40:38,030 --> 00:40:35,220 across culture across time and the 1032 00:40:42,650 --> 00:40:38,040 reason I bring him up in context of this 1033 00:40:44,210 --> 00:40:42,660 is he's with you on the fact that these 1034 00:40:46,609 --> 00:40:44,220 things are not going to line up 1035 00:40:49,190 --> 00:40:46,619 perfectly the way that some people would 1036 00:40:52,430 --> 00:40:49,200 like them to do uh light and love it's 1037 00:40:56,390 --> 00:40:52,440 always Jesus it's always this but in 1038 00:40:58,190 --> 00:40:56,400 some other important ways that are the 1039 00:41:00,470 --> 00:40:58,200 most important that to contradict the 1040 00:41:03,890 --> 00:41:00,480 kind of mainstream materialist Paradigm 1041 00:41:06,349 --> 00:41:03,900 yes we can make some conclusions about 1042 00:41:08,569 --> 00:41:06,359 what they are experiencing in the 1043 00:41:11,089 --> 00:41:08,579 afterlife and that there is an afterlife 1044 00:41:14,450 --> 00:41:11,099 so the first thing that I point out is 1045 00:41:16,730 --> 00:41:14,460 once we once we cross that bridge and 1046 00:41:18,109 --> 00:41:16,740 say okay there is some data there then 1047 00:41:20,510 --> 00:41:18,119 we have to recognize the fact that the 1048 00:41:21,890 --> 00:41:20,520 data doesn't exactly aligned with what 1049 00:41:24,589 --> 00:41:21,900 you're saying as a matter of fact we do 1050 00:41:26,809 --> 00:41:24,599 not have any accounts that directly 1051 00:41:28,309 --> 00:41:26,819 report what you're saying because I 1052 00:41:31,430 --> 00:41:28,319 think the other thing that what 1053 00:41:33,589 --> 00:41:31,440 shushan's work does is it connects us to 1054 00:41:36,290 --> 00:41:33,599 contemporary near-death experience 1055 00:41:38,569 --> 00:41:36,300 science done in hospital and there we 1056 00:41:41,690 --> 00:41:38,579 have a lot more accounts and the 1057 00:41:44,630 --> 00:41:41,700 accounts we could maybe in some cases 1058 00:41:46,370 --> 00:41:44,640 fit them back into you know retrofit 1059 00:41:47,990 --> 00:41:46,380 them back into the ferryman but I don't 1060 00:41:50,569 --> 00:41:48,000 think they come that I don't think they 1061 00:41:52,069 --> 00:41:50,579 come that way naturally that would be my 1062 00:41:54,349 --> 00:41:52,079 take on it we can explore that further 1063 00:41:56,210 --> 00:41:54,359 but let me because because I I kind of 1064 00:41:57,470 --> 00:41:56,220 cut you off but I don't want you to cut 1065 00:41:59,329 --> 00:41:57,480 me off until I get to this main point 1066 00:42:02,569 --> 00:41:59,339 that I was going to make about 1067 00:42:05,089 --> 00:42:02,579 Jim Tucker in The Reincarnation science 1068 00:42:07,970 --> 00:42:05,099 to me that's was I guess my main 1069 00:42:12,890 --> 00:42:07,980 pushback in what you're saying hell yes 1070 00:42:15,470 --> 00:42:12,900 it's science it is 100 science you as 1071 00:42:18,650 --> 00:42:15,480 that guy who read sociology understand 1072 00:42:20,930 --> 00:42:18,660 that the tech that the means that 1073 00:42:23,870 --> 00:42:20,940 they're going about to collect in order 1074 00:42:26,630 --> 00:42:23,880 and organize uh this from uh 1075 00:42:30,109 --> 00:42:26,640 anthropological uh sociological 1076 00:42:32,150 --> 00:42:30,119 standpoint is a well-worn path here's 1077 00:42:34,010 --> 00:42:32,160 how you interview people here's how you 1078 00:42:35,870 --> 00:42:34,020 control for this here's how you control 1079 00:42:38,270 --> 00:42:35,880 from that and as you mentioned you read 1080 00:42:40,370 --> 00:42:38,280 that research it is Rock Solid in terms 1081 00:42:43,849 --> 00:42:40,380 of them following that protocol then in 1082 00:42:46,670 --> 00:42:43,859 terms of the the the the the scars and 1083 00:42:49,309 --> 00:42:46,680 stuff like that I mean that really is 1084 00:42:51,309 --> 00:42:49,319 pretty pretty easy in a lot of respects 1085 00:42:54,650 --> 00:42:51,319 to say you know 1086 00:42:56,809 --> 00:42:54,660 that it it be that becomes more of a 1087 00:42:58,609 --> 00:42:56,819 straight statistics kind of thing you 1088 00:43:01,430 --> 00:42:58,619 know what are the what number of people 1089 00:43:04,370 --> 00:43:01,440 have this kind of birthmark at this kind 1090 00:43:07,370 --> 00:43:04,380 of age in this kind of group and then 1091 00:43:10,370 --> 00:43:07,380 what are the chances that someone would 1092 00:43:13,250 --> 00:43:10,380 experience all these other memories and 1093 00:43:15,829 --> 00:43:13,260 would be what what number of people are 1094 00:43:18,890 --> 00:43:15,839 killed by a gunshot wound and you know 1095 00:43:20,450 --> 00:43:18,900 this and that you can run some stats and 1096 00:43:22,370 --> 00:43:20,460 they're not going to be like 100 1097 00:43:25,010 --> 00:43:22,380 accurate but you can get pretty damn 1098 00:43:27,650 --> 00:43:25,020 close and they have I think in terms of 1099 00:43:30,170 --> 00:43:27,660 saying these show some meaningful 1100 00:43:32,870 --> 00:43:30,180 patterns and then the final point and 1101 00:43:35,450 --> 00:43:32,880 then I'll shut up but I think again this 1102 00:43:37,370 --> 00:43:35,460 is kind of you're making a criticism 1103 00:43:41,390 --> 00:43:37,380 that I think anyone would turn around 1104 00:43:43,430 --> 00:43:41,400 and make on the ferryman in in and I 1105 00:43:45,069 --> 00:43:43,440 don't think it's fair in either case and 1106 00:43:49,130 --> 00:43:45,079 that's to say that 1107 00:43:53,450 --> 00:43:49,140 observation is in science only putting 1108 00:43:55,550 --> 00:43:53,460 forth a concrete causal effect for it is 1109 00:43:57,290 --> 00:43:55,560 the only way is the only data that 1110 00:43:59,630 --> 00:43:57,300 matters you know what I mean unless you 1111 00:44:01,430 --> 00:43:59,640 can tell me how reincarnation works and 1112 00:44:03,950 --> 00:44:01,440 the mechanics of it and how the soul 1113 00:44:06,650 --> 00:44:03,960 transfers and this and that then I'm not 1114 00:44:08,990 --> 00:44:06,660 open to listen to it and what I'd say is 1115 00:44:11,390 --> 00:44:09,000 everything that you've built on in terms 1116 00:44:13,910 --> 00:44:11,400 of Consciousness would put us outside of 1117 00:44:16,670 --> 00:44:13,920 that to begin with everything in science 1118 00:44:19,190 --> 00:44:16,680 has been falsified with Mock's Planck 1119 00:44:22,309 --> 00:44:19,200 Consciousness is fundamental there is no 1120 00:44:23,569 --> 00:44:22,319 there is no real reality here like we 1121 00:44:24,770 --> 00:44:23,579 talked about in the last interview I'm 1122 00:44:26,089 --> 00:44:24,780 like you just talked about in a minute 1123 00:44:28,190 --> 00:44:26,099 ago so I think we have to be really 1124 00:44:30,530 --> 00:44:28,200 careful in saying well this is real and 1125 00:44:32,690 --> 00:44:30,540 this isn't real and realize we're kind 1126 00:44:35,690 --> 00:44:32,700 of always going to be in this kind of 1127 00:44:38,150 --> 00:44:35,700 liminal kind of in-between kind of thing 1128 00:44:41,930 --> 00:44:38,160 okay so you're good enough to love me a 1129 00:44:43,730 --> 00:44:41,940 lot of table I think the reason I take 1130 00:44:46,190 --> 00:44:43,740 the approach I do 1131 00:44:50,089 --> 00:44:46,200 is because 1132 00:44:52,970 --> 00:44:50,099 I want to engage with the Skeptics 1133 00:44:55,550 --> 00:44:52,980 I want to be in a position that the 1134 00:44:56,569 --> 00:44:55,560 Skeptics cannot whip my repeat from 1135 00:44:58,910 --> 00:44:56,579 under me 1136 00:45:01,370 --> 00:44:58,920 because Skeptics very rarely engage with 1137 00:45:04,130 --> 00:45:01,380 me they run away they don't engage with 1138 00:45:07,730 --> 00:45:04,140 me because I'm not an easy person to 1139 00:45:10,430 --> 00:45:07,740 to to Diss and to make look stupid and 1140 00:45:13,910 --> 00:45:10,440 idiotic because the science I deal with 1141 00:45:15,950 --> 00:45:13,920 is based upon absolute as you say it's 1142 00:45:20,450 --> 00:45:15,960 research and it's science 1143 00:45:22,730 --> 00:45:20,460 now if I start making statements that 1144 00:45:24,770 --> 00:45:22,740 you know there's that famous cartoon 1145 00:45:26,210 --> 00:45:24,780 that really affected me many many years 1146 00:45:28,190 --> 00:45:26,220 ago you know there's a good chalkboard 1147 00:45:30,050 --> 00:45:28,200 and the scientists and they've got 1148 00:45:31,130 --> 00:45:30,060 something here and then they've got 1149 00:45:33,530 --> 00:45:31,140 something there and in the middle 1150 00:45:36,470 --> 00:45:33,540 they've got a miracle happens 1151 00:45:40,309 --> 00:45:36,480 to get round some of the issues in 1152 00:45:43,910 --> 00:45:40,319 science I don't do the god of the gaps I 1153 00:45:47,270 --> 00:45:43,920 don't do that I try to make sure that if 1154 00:45:49,069 --> 00:45:47,280 I present something and I I present a 1155 00:45:51,470 --> 00:45:49,079 hypothesis I don't call it a theory it's 1156 00:45:53,210 --> 00:45:51,480 not a theory it's a hypothesis it may 1157 00:45:55,130 --> 00:45:53,220 not even be a hypothesis it's possibly 1158 00:45:57,890 --> 00:45:55,140 speculation 1159 00:45:59,630 --> 00:45:57,900 but what I do is I say well look this is 1160 00:46:01,550 --> 00:45:59,640 this bit of information this is this bit 1161 00:46:04,069 --> 00:46:01,560 of information from this research field 1162 00:46:06,290 --> 00:46:04,079 in quantum mechanics from this research 1163 00:46:08,930 --> 00:46:06,300 field in neurology from this research 1164 00:46:11,630 --> 00:46:08,940 field in cosmology 1165 00:46:14,270 --> 00:46:11,640 if you take the facts as they stand from 1166 00:46:15,770 --> 00:46:14,280 the research what conclusions can you 1167 00:46:17,630 --> 00:46:15,780 come to 1168 00:46:18,710 --> 00:46:17,640 and that's what I try to do I come from 1169 00:46:20,950 --> 00:46:18,720 the science and I say well what 1170 00:46:23,510 --> 00:46:20,960 conclusions can you draw from the fact 1171 00:46:25,790 --> 00:46:23,520 that people when 1172 00:46:28,730 --> 00:46:25,800 the brain is stimulated 1173 00:46:30,470 --> 00:46:28,740 in certain ways by people by external 1174 00:46:34,609 --> 00:46:30,480 forces when like for instance Wilder 1175 00:46:38,809 --> 00:46:34,619 Penfield in the 1930s to 1970s exposed 1176 00:46:40,730 --> 00:46:38,819 the human brain of of of epileptics and 1177 00:46:42,770 --> 00:46:40,740 put an electrode onto particular points 1178 00:46:44,630 --> 00:46:42,780 of the temporal lobes and when he did 1179 00:46:46,069 --> 00:46:44,640 that he was able to evoke past life 1180 00:46:50,270 --> 00:46:46,079 memories 1181 00:46:52,430 --> 00:46:50,280 three-dimensional and Vivid 1182 00:46:55,550 --> 00:46:52,440 he concluded towards the end of his life 1183 00:46:58,309 --> 00:46:55,560 that the human brain records every 1184 00:46:59,930 --> 00:46:58,319 single experience and event from the 1185 00:47:00,829 --> 00:46:59,940 moment of the birth to the moment of 1186 00:47:04,370 --> 00:47:00,839 death 1187 00:47:07,010 --> 00:47:04,380 the question has to be why now on my own 1188 00:47:09,710 --> 00:47:07,020 podcast I interviewed a few months ago a 1189 00:47:12,250 --> 00:47:09,720 young lady by the name of Rebecca sharuk 1190 00:47:15,050 --> 00:47:12,260 Rebecca sharuk has Superior 1191 00:47:19,550 --> 00:47:15,060 autobiographical memory she remembers 1192 00:47:22,010 --> 00:47:19,560 every single thing in her life she also 1193 00:47:23,329 --> 00:47:22,020 remembers her dreams she remembers being 1194 00:47:25,250 --> 00:47:23,339 in the womb 1195 00:47:27,410 --> 00:47:25,260 but I don't accept these things at face 1196 00:47:29,930 --> 00:47:27,420 value so what we did was during the 1197 00:47:30,950 --> 00:47:29,940 interview we I didn't tell her I was 1198 00:47:32,809 --> 00:47:30,960 going to do it I didn't tell my 1199 00:47:35,210 --> 00:47:32,819 assistant I was going to do this but I 1200 00:47:36,530 --> 00:47:35,220 know that Rebecca really likes the Harry 1201 00:47:38,089 --> 00:47:36,540 Potter books 1202 00:47:40,370 --> 00:47:38,099 now you know there's a number of Harry 1203 00:47:43,370 --> 00:47:40,380 Potter volumes now sir and my assistant 1204 00:47:46,010 --> 00:47:43,380 her daughter reads Harry Potter so Sarah 1205 00:47:47,750 --> 00:47:46,020 has all the volumes of Harry Potter and 1206 00:47:49,010 --> 00:47:47,760 I said to Sarah can you pick up at 1207 00:47:50,450 --> 00:47:49,020 random one of the volumes of Harry 1208 00:47:53,329 --> 00:47:50,460 Potter's books 1209 00:47:55,069 --> 00:47:53,339 can you open a page at random and can 1210 00:47:57,589 --> 00:47:55,079 you pick a paragraph at random and start 1211 00:48:04,430 --> 00:47:59,690 she started doing this 1212 00:48:08,109 --> 00:48:04,440 Believe It or Not Sarah read three words 1213 00:48:12,109 --> 00:48:08,119 and Rebecca repeated the whole paragraph 1214 00:48:14,510 --> 00:48:12,119 word by word absolutely Word Perfect now 1215 00:48:16,970 --> 00:48:14,520 the question here has to be what is the 1216 00:48:20,150 --> 00:48:16,980 function of this if the brain is working 1217 00:48:22,849 --> 00:48:20,160 along certain routes why what's the 1218 00:48:25,309 --> 00:48:22,859 point of remembering everything in our 1219 00:48:27,230 --> 00:48:25,319 lives if we can't recall it it's like 1220 00:48:29,690 --> 00:48:27,240 you've got the mystery you've got a 1221 00:48:32,030 --> 00:48:29,700 million dollars locked inside it's 1222 00:48:34,190 --> 00:48:32,040 locked inside of safe with the key 1223 00:48:37,190 --> 00:48:34,200 inside it makes no sense unless it 1224 00:48:40,670 --> 00:48:37,200 fulfills a purpose I have evidence in my 1225 00:48:41,930 --> 00:48:40,680 books of people who have towards the end 1226 00:48:43,609 --> 00:48:41,940 of their life 1227 00:48:44,990 --> 00:48:43,619 they when they're coming down with 1228 00:48:47,930 --> 00:48:45,000 Alzheimer's 1229 00:48:48,829 --> 00:48:47,940 they start to recall their past life in 1230 00:48:51,290 --> 00:48:48,839 detail 1231 00:48:53,630 --> 00:48:51,300 they start to go back in time they start 1232 00:48:56,450 --> 00:48:53,640 to relive earlier parts of their lives 1233 00:48:59,329 --> 00:48:56,460 as if their brain is functioning them to 1234 00:49:02,990 --> 00:48:59,339 get back to reliving their life again 1235 00:49:04,190 --> 00:49:03,000 now that's tangible proof that's not so 1236 00:49:07,210 --> 00:49:04,200 in other words I'm not turning around 1237 00:49:10,130 --> 00:49:07,220 saying I believe or I'd like to believe 1238 00:49:13,130 --> 00:49:10,140 that we live our lives again throughout 1239 00:49:16,010 --> 00:49:13,140 through memories I have the evidence for 1240 00:49:17,089 --> 00:49:16,020 it now there's can I just finish can I 1241 00:49:19,970 --> 00:49:17,099 just finish here on your final point 1242 00:49:22,490 --> 00:49:19,980 about the definition of science 1243 00:49:24,170 --> 00:49:22,500 there's a science of social sciences and 1244 00:49:25,849 --> 00:49:24,180 a social scientist I can say this the 1245 00:49:28,609 --> 00:49:25,859 social science we deal with Statistics 1246 00:49:30,170 --> 00:49:28,619 we deal with Norms we deal with means we 1247 00:49:32,270 --> 00:49:30,180 deal with you know what is the 1248 00:49:34,010 --> 00:49:32,280 statistical chance of this happening in 1249 00:49:36,049 --> 00:49:34,020 a particular way that's that's 1250 00:49:37,730 --> 00:49:36,059 scientific to an extent but if you're 1251 00:49:42,770 --> 00:49:37,740 going to convince 1252 00:49:44,390 --> 00:49:42,780 a biologist of your point of view 1253 00:49:46,609 --> 00:49:44,400 there's no point in turning around and 1254 00:49:48,890 --> 00:49:46,619 saying that 90 of the population claim 1255 00:49:50,270 --> 00:49:48,900 they've had past lives that's anecdote 1256 00:49:52,430 --> 00:49:50,280 and they will just throw back at you the 1257 00:49:55,250 --> 00:49:52,440 plural of anecdote is not proof and 1258 00:49:56,930 --> 00:49:55,260 that's what I don't do what I do is I 1259 00:49:58,309 --> 00:49:56,940 try to say well let's fight them at 1260 00:50:01,010 --> 00:49:58,319 their own battle 1261 00:50:03,049 --> 00:50:01,020 let's take the science and use their 1262 00:50:05,569 --> 00:50:03,059 science and put it back at them with a 1263 00:50:07,790 --> 00:50:05,579 model that they they CA they cannot 1264 00:50:10,549 --> 00:50:07,800 dispute do I deny out of the body 1265 00:50:13,970 --> 00:50:10,559 experiences no I don't do I deny past 1266 00:50:15,650 --> 00:50:13,980 lives no I don't do I do I deny you know 1267 00:50:17,510 --> 00:50:15,660 the near-death experience and the 1268 00:50:19,430 --> 00:50:17,520 typologies of the nearby experience no I 1269 00:50:21,650 --> 00:50:19,440 don't none of these things I deny 1270 00:50:24,710 --> 00:50:21,660 because there's too many reports of them 1271 00:50:26,750 --> 00:50:24,720 clearly himself evidently well I didn't 1272 00:50:28,849 --> 00:50:26,760 hold on I didn't say that you denied any 1273 00:50:31,849 --> 00:50:28,859 of it I said and this is the part where 1274 00:50:34,490 --> 00:50:31,859 I I kind of think I do have to kind of 1275 00:50:36,710 --> 00:50:34,500 hone in on this I mean don't you think 1276 00:50:39,470 --> 00:50:36,720 just in the story that you just told you 1277 00:50:42,170 --> 00:50:39,480 get to a point where you're making that 1278 00:50:45,049 --> 00:50:42,180 same leap that everyone else is making 1279 00:50:47,510 --> 00:50:45,059 in terms of interpreting what the data 1280 00:50:49,670 --> 00:50:47,520 that you have in a particular way and 1281 00:50:52,730 --> 00:50:49,680 you're finding it compatible with your 1282 00:50:55,490 --> 00:50:52,740 theory and I'm saying you know I don't 1283 00:50:57,230 --> 00:50:55,500 but it's not like you're not doing the 1284 00:51:00,109 --> 00:50:57,240 same thing that everyone else is doing 1285 00:51:01,790 --> 00:51:00,119 and I think it's valid I disagree I 1286 00:51:03,410 --> 00:51:01,800 disagree if somebody is saying 1287 00:51:05,750 --> 00:51:03,420 reincarnation 1288 00:51:09,530 --> 00:51:05,760 they're not using any science they're 1289 00:51:11,390 --> 00:51:09,540 not using to Tony Tony that's not uh I I 1290 00:51:13,130 --> 00:51:11,400 just don't think let's let's put it in 1291 00:51:14,630 --> 00:51:13,140 this way in the court of public opinion 1292 00:51:17,210 --> 00:51:14,640 I don't think most people would agree 1293 00:51:18,829 --> 00:51:17,220 with you if you look at Jim Tucker and 1294 00:51:20,809 --> 00:51:18,839 you look at what's the science where's 1295 00:51:23,270 --> 00:51:20,819 the science engine what science is Jim 1296 00:51:24,109 --> 00:51:23,280 Tucker playing well first of all first 1297 00:51:26,030 --> 00:51:24,119 of all 1298 00:51:27,950 --> 00:51:26,040 yeah okay 1299 00:51:30,049 --> 00:51:27,960 this is where you're this is where I 1300 00:51:32,510 --> 00:51:30,059 think you're you're kind of uh not being 1301 00:51:35,930 --> 00:51:32,520 totally fair because physics wouldn't 1302 00:51:38,270 --> 00:51:35,940 apply to your story of Rebecca and her 1303 00:51:41,210 --> 00:51:38,280 recalling here it say it goes yes it 1304 00:51:44,089 --> 00:51:41,220 does because no it's your end no right 1305 00:51:46,670 --> 00:51:44,099 no it would be your it would be your 1306 00:51:48,890 --> 00:51:46,680 interpretation what is an inter I'm 1307 00:51:50,410 --> 00:51:48,900 interpreting the Rebecca remembered 1308 00:51:52,730 --> 00:51:50,420 everything 1309 00:51:55,430 --> 00:51:52,740 that's an interpretation 1310 00:51:57,109 --> 00:51:55,440 okay well here's the point then again I 1311 00:51:59,930 --> 00:51:57,119 think we're I don't want to get into a 1312 00:52:01,910 --> 00:51:59,940 semantic battle but I I want a 1313 00:52:04,609 --> 00:52:01,920 interpretation you're suggesting that 1314 00:52:08,089 --> 00:52:04,619 I'll show you by I Will Show You by 1315 00:52:09,910 --> 00:52:08,099 example something so you take Jim Tucker 1316 00:52:12,770 --> 00:52:09,920 Jim Tucker University of Virginia 1317 00:52:15,609 --> 00:52:12,780 perceptual Sciences picks up Ian 1318 00:52:17,690 --> 00:52:15,619 Stevenson's work they also do a lot of 1319 00:52:19,490 --> 00:52:17,700 near-death experience science there 1320 00:52:22,430 --> 00:52:19,500 published in a lot of peer-reviewed 1321 00:52:26,690 --> 00:52:22,440 journals highly regarded University not 1322 00:52:29,089 --> 00:52:26,700 a slouchy scientist so he's he within 1323 00:52:32,210 --> 00:52:29,099 the academy is considered doing good 1324 00:52:34,790 --> 00:52:32,220 science and again he's not a meat puppet 1325 00:52:37,010 --> 00:52:34,800 uh materialist he's not a skeptic he's 1326 00:52:39,410 --> 00:52:37,020 not any of that if you look at the cases 1327 00:52:43,010 --> 00:52:39,420 that he brings forward that gain a lot 1328 00:52:45,049 --> 00:52:43,020 of traction with people like me begin 1329 00:52:46,609 --> 00:52:45,059 because he's a careful scientist and 1330 00:52:48,410 --> 00:52:46,619 there's one of his case he's one of his 1331 00:52:51,530 --> 00:52:48,420 cases the leninger case is that Jim 1332 00:52:53,329 --> 00:52:51,540 Tucker yes yeah learning a case do you 1333 00:52:54,530 --> 00:52:53,339 know the work that Michael Lee sudath 1334 00:52:57,230 --> 00:52:54,540 has written on that 1335 00:52:59,870 --> 00:52:57,240 well I I don't uh well you should well 1336 00:53:03,049 --> 00:52:59,880 you should because it destroys it I I 1337 00:53:05,030 --> 00:53:03,059 don't think that destroys it I don't I 1338 00:53:05,750 --> 00:53:05,040 don't think he does because the case you 1339 00:53:07,069 --> 00:53:05,760 don't 1340 00:53:09,710 --> 00:53:07,079 which 1341 00:53:12,650 --> 00:53:09,720 okay why how doesn't it how does how 1342 00:53:15,650 --> 00:53:12,660 does Lee sudath not destroy the learning 1343 00:53:18,650 --> 00:53:15,660 case well first of all so here I I am 1344 00:53:22,430 --> 00:53:18,660 speaking when I say like I just told you 1345 00:53:25,849 --> 00:53:22,440 I don't know his work but I know a lot 1346 00:53:29,630 --> 00:53:25,859 of cranky people that try and trash 1347 00:53:32,089 --> 00:53:29,640 people like Jim Tucker who seem from my 1348 00:53:35,030 --> 00:53:32,099 experience to be carefully doing work 1349 00:53:37,730 --> 00:53:35,040 and following their critics to the full 1350 00:53:41,270 --> 00:53:37,740 extent that if I had to place my bet 1351 00:53:43,670 --> 00:53:41,280 here without knowing the the cranky guy 1352 00:53:44,530 --> 00:53:43,680 who kind of pushed against it I would 1353 00:53:48,010 --> 00:53:44,540 bet 1354 00:53:51,470 --> 00:53:48,020 why let me finish 1355 00:53:53,809 --> 00:53:51,480 Tony Keith why is Tony I am happy to I'm 1356 00:53:55,849 --> 00:53:53,819 happy to to follow up once I know the 1357 00:53:57,710 --> 00:53:55,859 guys once I go know the guys well you'll 1358 00:53:58,910 --> 00:53:57,720 use the term cranky you said he was 1359 00:54:01,910 --> 00:53:58,920 cranky 1360 00:54:04,970 --> 00:54:01,920 in my experience yeah you can put it in 1361 00:54:07,309 --> 00:54:04,980 frankly yeah but probably I'd say high 1362 00:54:10,069 --> 00:54:07,319 probability of credit you need to read 1363 00:54:12,470 --> 00:54:10,079 it and you need to I I do I do I do I do 1364 00:54:14,630 --> 00:54:12,480 needles I wouldn't call somebody cranky 1365 00:54:17,390 --> 00:54:14,640 if I'd not read their work you're kind 1366 00:54:19,910 --> 00:54:17,400 of trying to make like points of like 1367 00:54:22,609 --> 00:54:19,920 argumentative points rather than letting 1368 00:54:25,309 --> 00:54:22,619 no I'm not no I'm not let me turn cranky 1369 00:54:26,450 --> 00:54:25,319 over somebody who is a professor of 1370 00:54:29,530 --> 00:54:26,460 philosophy 1371 00:54:33,710 --> 00:54:29,540 at another University 1372 00:54:35,930 --> 00:54:33,720 and it is full of holes well I I will I 1373 00:54:40,450 --> 00:54:35,940 should have looked off this I tell you 1374 00:54:45,890 --> 00:54:44,329 why don't you why don't you what's his 1375 00:54:49,910 --> 00:54:45,900 name again 1376 00:54:53,109 --> 00:54:49,920 uh lee sudath Michael Lee sudath how do 1377 00:54:59,510 --> 00:54:57,410 s-u-d-d-i-t-h okay let's get him on oh 1378 00:55:03,770 --> 00:54:59,520 let's get him on skeptico right will you 1379 00:55:09,309 --> 00:55:07,250 I think I just suggested that so I don't 1380 00:55:12,349 --> 00:55:09,319 know I need to is an appropriate 1381 00:55:13,789 --> 00:55:12,359 response to that and we can do uh we 1382 00:55:17,510 --> 00:55:13,799 could do a full-blown kind of thing 1383 00:55:19,609 --> 00:55:17,520 because and if need be I can talk to uh 1384 00:55:21,770 --> 00:55:19,619 Jim Tucker either that would be really 1385 00:55:24,470 --> 00:55:21,780 interesting if you got Jim Tucker and 1386 00:55:25,970 --> 00:55:24,480 Mike on together because they told each 1387 00:55:28,910 --> 00:55:25,980 other regularly they know each other 1388 00:55:31,670 --> 00:55:28,920 very very well also so Jim Tucker has 1389 00:55:34,849 --> 00:55:31,680 rave has raised waved the white flag and 1390 00:55:38,450 --> 00:55:34,859 said I I I'm sorry the the my case is 1391 00:55:40,549 --> 00:55:38,460 wrong siddeth is right uh from my 1392 00:55:43,370 --> 00:55:40,559 readings of it he's not actually run 1393 00:55:45,109 --> 00:55:43,380 away but he's not actually contested it 1394 00:55:47,390 --> 00:55:45,119 I need to check with Mike about that 1395 00:55:49,970 --> 00:55:47,400 Mike Mike is Rich check on that an 1396 00:55:51,710 --> 00:55:49,980 academic paper on it check on that I 1397 00:55:52,910 --> 00:55:51,720 don't think Tim Tucker has backed off of 1398 00:55:54,710 --> 00:55:52,920 that would that make any difference 1399 00:55:56,630 --> 00:55:54,720 since you seem to have some respect for 1400 00:55:57,829 --> 00:55:56,640 Tucker would it make any difference I 1401 00:55:59,569 --> 00:55:57,839 have respect for both of them I have 1402 00:56:03,230 --> 00:55:59,579 respect for both of them I think both of 1403 00:56:04,789 --> 00:56:03,240 them my concern is that when you never 1404 00:56:06,650 --> 00:56:04,799 did you never did let me finish because 1405 00:56:08,690 --> 00:56:06,660 you're someone I want to make my apology 1406 00:56:11,329 --> 00:56:08,700 sorry here's the point I I wanted to 1407 00:56:13,789 --> 00:56:11,339 make is that and I don't think you're 1408 00:56:16,069 --> 00:56:13,799 you're being fair in this regard is that 1409 00:56:19,309 --> 00:56:16,079 you're countering that this isn't 1410 00:56:22,670 --> 00:56:19,319 evidence right and whether you know your 1411 00:56:25,130 --> 00:56:22,680 guy sudath has kind of shattered the 1412 00:56:27,170 --> 00:56:25,140 evidence or not we're now in the same 1413 00:56:30,530 --> 00:56:27,180 we're talking about the same thing now 1414 00:56:33,410 --> 00:56:30,540 we're talking about specific instances 1415 00:56:35,210 --> 00:56:33,420 that happened in some physical reality 1416 00:56:38,390 --> 00:56:35,220 like the case that I was going to talk 1417 00:56:41,569 --> 00:56:38,400 about is Ryan in the Hollywood case you 1418 00:56:43,490 --> 00:56:41,579 know where he was a former film star in 1419 00:56:45,470 --> 00:56:43,500 Hollywood in a previous life and they go 1420 00:56:48,710 --> 00:56:45,480 back and they trace this and Jim Tucker 1421 00:56:51,650 --> 00:56:48,720 says hey there's 52 points of congruence 1422 00:56:55,069 --> 00:56:51,660 that I found it's like 1423 00:56:57,950 --> 00:56:55,079 whether you agree with his conclusions 1424 00:57:00,950 --> 00:56:57,960 or whether you agree Point by point with 1425 00:57:03,589 --> 00:57:00,960 what he's saying matches up we now have 1426 00:57:07,010 --> 00:57:03,599 a science if you will that people 1427 00:57:09,770 --> 00:57:07,020 acknowledge is a valid way to look at 1428 00:57:12,230 --> 00:57:09,780 the statistical probability that this 1429 00:57:16,309 --> 00:57:12,240 kid would have knowledge of these uh 1430 00:57:18,890 --> 00:57:16,319 past events so it in that way I I think 1431 00:57:21,230 --> 00:57:18,900 that there is a direct parallel to what 1432 00:57:23,870 --> 00:57:21,240 you're doing both are have have 1433 00:57:25,849 --> 00:57:23,880 scientific Merit to some degree and then 1434 00:57:27,289 --> 00:57:25,859 it's just a matter of hammering out you 1435 00:57:29,390 --> 00:57:27,299 know which one's better whether all the 1436 00:57:31,370 --> 00:57:29,400 facts line up whether you know this guy 1437 00:57:33,829 --> 00:57:31,380 or that guy has has crushed this or that 1438 00:57:36,589 --> 00:57:33,839 but I I it seems to me like you kind of 1439 00:57:38,450 --> 00:57:36,599 dismissed this out of hand well I don't 1440 00:57:40,490 --> 00:57:38,460 it's really the same it's really the 1441 00:57:42,289 --> 00:57:40,500 same thing just said a different way in 1442 00:57:44,630 --> 00:57:42,299 terms of how you would go about how you 1443 00:57:46,609 --> 00:57:44,640 would go about quote unquote proving it 1444 00:57:48,710 --> 00:57:46,619 and it's not about this isn't about 1445 00:57:51,589 --> 00:57:48,720 physics and your thing isn't about 1446 00:57:56,329 --> 00:57:51,599 physics gyms Tucker's belief that we're 1447 00:57:58,010 --> 00:57:56,339 Ryan is has this ability to recall 1448 00:58:01,010 --> 00:57:58,020 things from the past isn't he doesn't 1449 00:58:03,530 --> 00:58:01,020 need to apply an explanation regarding 1450 00:58:06,289 --> 00:58:03,540 the mechanics of how he does it in order 1451 00:58:08,569 --> 00:58:06,299 to offer us a good observation about 1452 00:58:10,730 --> 00:58:08,579 something that's happening yeah 1453 00:58:12,829 --> 00:58:10,740 observation is is profoundly important 1454 00:58:15,890 --> 00:58:12,839 in the social sciences it's extremely 1455 00:58:17,630 --> 00:58:15,900 important but you then have to go back 1456 00:58:20,930 --> 00:58:17,640 to say well what is then the mechanism 1457 00:58:22,670 --> 00:58:20,940 that's at work and again I would I would 1458 00:58:24,589 --> 00:58:22,680 suggest that the mechanism at work here 1459 00:58:26,990 --> 00:58:24,599 could just as easily be Collective 1460 00:58:29,450 --> 00:58:27,000 unconscious memory you know as I said 1461 00:58:31,789 --> 00:58:29,460 earlier on this young lad could be 1462 00:58:34,370 --> 00:58:31,799 focusing in on 1463 00:58:36,109 --> 00:58:34,380 the information field I know that the 1464 00:58:38,870 --> 00:58:36,119 the new agers call it the akashic field 1465 00:58:41,089 --> 00:58:38,880 I'd call it the zero point field whereby 1466 00:58:43,930 --> 00:58:41,099 you can pick up information from other 1467 00:58:48,289 --> 00:58:43,940 people uh we don't know that 1468 00:58:50,030 --> 00:58:48,299 well I I I tend to agree with that but 1469 00:58:51,770 --> 00:58:50,040 we don't know that on some kind of 1470 00:58:54,349 --> 00:58:51,780 physics base we don't have a mechanism 1471 00:58:56,329 --> 00:58:54,359 for a description of what it would be 1472 00:58:58,130 --> 00:58:56,339 like to have an akashic field how 1473 00:58:59,809 --> 00:58:58,140 information would flow from we don't 1474 00:59:02,450 --> 00:58:59,819 have any of that so that's what I'm 1475 00:59:05,210 --> 00:59:02,460 saying you're no we don't we were in the 1476 00:59:06,650 --> 00:59:05,220 same ballpark as everyone else no no I'm 1477 00:59:08,870 --> 00:59:06,660 not I know that's the difference there's 1478 00:59:11,930 --> 00:59:08,880 been Recent research shown to prove that 1479 00:59:15,349 --> 00:59:11,940 for instance information has mass 1480 00:59:17,450 --> 00:59:15,359 okay it's also been there's also the 1481 00:59:19,010 --> 00:59:17,460 latest research in terms of cosmology in 1482 00:59:20,030 --> 00:59:19,020 the relationship of the holographic 1483 00:59:23,690 --> 00:59:20,040 universe 1484 00:59:27,710 --> 00:59:23,700 is incredibly well-researched science 1485 00:59:29,930 --> 00:59:27,720 using known science to explain how the 1486 00:59:32,329 --> 00:59:29,940 holographic principle could work there's 1487 00:59:35,210 --> 00:59:32,339 a guy called Lee Horgan at the perimeter 1488 00:59:37,490 --> 00:59:35,220 Institute in Canada who's doing work on 1489 00:59:39,230 --> 00:59:37,500 trying to work out the pixelation 1490 00:59:41,630 --> 00:59:39,240 of the program 1491 00:59:44,569 --> 00:59:41,640 you know this is science you know there 1492 00:59:47,150 --> 00:59:44,579 was a front page of Scientific American 1493 00:59:49,549 --> 00:59:47,160 a few years ago is reality a hologram 1494 00:59:51,650 --> 00:59:49,559 there's actually a science called the 1495 00:59:54,230 --> 00:59:51,660 holographic principle 1496 00:59:55,609 --> 00:59:54,240 but but they haven't I'll give you an 1497 00:59:56,930 --> 00:59:55,619 example of science when we talk about 1498 00:59:58,130 --> 00:59:56,940 science what we're really talking about 1499 01:00:00,770 --> 00:59:58,140 I think in the way that most people 1500 01:00:02,150 --> 01:00:00,780 think about it is not scientific theory 1501 01:00:03,950 --> 01:00:02,160 but they're really talking about 1502 01:00:06,530 --> 01:00:03,960 engineering so that's when we talk about 1503 01:00:09,170 --> 01:00:06,540 entanglement okay show me the quantum 1504 01:00:11,690 --> 01:00:09,180 modem and now you got my attention I'm 1505 01:00:12,890 --> 01:00:11,700 not a big fan of uh Dr Gary Schwartz at 1506 01:00:15,349 --> 01:00:12,900 the University of Arizona and I 1507 01:00:16,849 --> 01:00:15,359 shouldn't say that I'm a huge fan of Dr 1508 01:00:19,670 --> 01:00:16,859 Gary Schwartz at the University of 1509 01:00:22,250 --> 01:00:19,680 Arizona I think his project with the 1510 01:00:25,490 --> 01:00:22,260 soul phone I wish him the best of luck 1511 01:00:28,609 --> 01:00:25,500 and I certainly hope it works out but I 1512 01:00:30,470 --> 01:00:28,619 I don't really to me it seems a little 1513 01:00:32,870 --> 01:00:30,480 bit flawed in the way that they're going 1514 01:00:34,130 --> 01:00:32,880 about that but but but it's interesting 1515 01:00:36,950 --> 01:00:34,140 I don't want to bury I don't want to 1516 01:00:39,950 --> 01:00:36,960 bury the lead the point is they are 1517 01:00:42,109 --> 01:00:39,960 trying to engineer this in a way that 1518 01:00:45,670 --> 01:00:42,119 would answer these questions and if you 1519 01:00:48,770 --> 01:00:45,680 will that to me would offer some kind of 1520 01:00:50,690 --> 01:00:48,780 proof of what they're talking about in 1521 01:00:53,089 --> 01:00:50,700 terms of after death communication it 1522 01:00:55,309 --> 01:00:53,099 would be you you you would but you would 1523 01:00:57,710 --> 01:00:55,319 still be in the same boat Tony I don't 1524 01:01:00,950 --> 01:00:57,720 know you could then you could then take 1525 01:01:03,589 --> 01:01:00,960 their data and interpret it as Damon 1526 01:01:05,289 --> 01:01:03,599 ferryman higher self whatever and 1527 01:01:08,270 --> 01:01:05,299 another guy could interpret it as 1528 01:01:10,549 --> 01:01:08,280 demonic akashic record with the spirit 1529 01:01:13,609 --> 01:01:10,559 in between and no one would have a 1530 01:01:15,650 --> 01:01:13,619 better standing in on that than the 1531 01:01:17,990 --> 01:01:15,660 other one It all becomes speculative at 1532 01:01:20,690 --> 01:01:18,000 a point so we're trying to merge it but 1533 01:01:23,809 --> 01:01:20,700 I mean there's always going to be these 1534 01:01:26,390 --> 01:01:23,819 huge gaps where we need uh constructive 1535 01:01:28,069 --> 01:01:26,400 theories that don't necessarily line up 1536 01:01:30,470 --> 01:01:28,079 with each other I mean take Jill I'll 1537 01:01:33,410 --> 01:01:30,480 shut up but take Julie Beisel who I've 1538 01:01:35,690 --> 01:01:33,420 always been a big fan of and been on the 1539 01:01:37,670 --> 01:01:35,700 show in after death communication 1540 01:01:39,289 --> 01:01:37,680 she got a PhD in pharmacologist she 1541 01:01:41,390 --> 01:01:39,299 knows how to do that she's not 1542 01:01:43,430 --> 01:01:41,400 she's not making mistakes in her 1543 01:01:45,589 --> 01:01:43,440 research and she's validating after 1544 01:01:48,049 --> 01:01:45,599 death communication and that after death 1545 01:01:49,910 --> 01:01:48,059 communication does not conform with the 1546 01:01:51,470 --> 01:01:49,920 ferryman theory so what do you do with 1547 01:01:53,630 --> 01:01:51,480 that you just step over it and say that 1548 01:01:55,970 --> 01:01:53,640 isn't science I don't know it's the same 1549 01:01:58,130 --> 01:01:55,980 way we figure out you know whether a 1550 01:01:59,329 --> 01:01:58,140 drug is good to use I thought I think 1551 01:02:01,730 --> 01:01:59,339 one of the things you're missing here 1552 01:02:04,370 --> 01:02:01,740 and it's a very important point 1553 01:02:06,470 --> 01:02:04,380 cheating The ferryman Works in a brain 1554 01:02:08,510 --> 01:02:06,480 that hasn't died 1555 01:02:10,609 --> 01:02:08,520 there might be after death 1556 01:02:12,829 --> 01:02:10,619 though it could be after death 1557 01:02:14,690 --> 01:02:12,839 within you know the idea isn't this 1558 01:02:16,849 --> 01:02:14,700 people misunderstand this they think 1559 01:02:18,470 --> 01:02:16,859 that and it's because my Publishers use 1560 01:02:20,510 --> 01:02:18,480 the term life after death and everything 1561 01:02:21,289 --> 01:02:20,520 and it's always quite irritated me over 1562 01:02:23,569 --> 01:02:21,299 this 1563 01:02:24,770 --> 01:02:23,579 it takes place in the final seconds of 1564 01:02:27,049 --> 01:02:24,780 your life 1565 01:02:30,410 --> 01:02:27,059 and then in microseconds 1566 01:02:33,109 --> 01:02:30,420 of your life okay so at the end of all 1567 01:02:35,930 --> 01:02:33,119 of that just like Connors in Groundhog 1568 01:02:37,670 --> 01:02:35,940 Day moves on to the next day I'd argue 1569 01:02:39,770 --> 01:02:37,680 that Within 1570 01:02:42,470 --> 01:02:39,780 cheating the ferryman you eventually 1571 01:02:45,289 --> 01:02:42,480 move on and you move on to whatever you 1572 01:02:48,710 --> 01:02:45,299 move on to because in terms of time it's 1573 01:02:52,190 --> 01:02:48,720 all happened in in a constricted part of 1574 01:02:54,049 --> 01:02:52,200 time at the end of life now again using 1575 01:02:55,970 --> 01:02:54,059 parallels and I know that it's it's not 1576 01:02:58,010 --> 01:02:55,980 fair of me to use the parallel here but 1577 01:03:00,349 --> 01:02:58,020 because it's a religious parallel but 1578 01:03:03,109 --> 01:03:00,359 you read up the Bordeaux state 1579 01:03:04,849 --> 01:03:03,119 in in tibetan Buddhas what takes place 1580 01:03:07,789 --> 01:03:04,859 there is that it's the kind of 1581 01:03:10,370 --> 01:03:07,799 transitory point between moving on to 1582 01:03:13,190 --> 01:03:10,380 your next Incarnation as it were because 1583 01:03:14,750 --> 01:03:13,200 for instance I don't understand if 1584 01:03:16,309 --> 01:03:14,760 there's afterlife communication with 1585 01:03:17,809 --> 01:03:16,319 dead people how does that square 1586 01:03:20,089 --> 01:03:17,819 reincarnation 1587 01:03:21,950 --> 01:03:20,099 if everybody's reincarnated they're 1588 01:03:23,450 --> 01:03:21,960 recreientated as different people Sarah 1589 01:03:25,849 --> 01:03:23,460 doesn't have to doesn't have to square 1590 01:03:27,370 --> 01:03:25,859 right that's what we're saying well 1591 01:03:29,750 --> 01:03:27,380 they're both the same so both happen 1592 01:03:31,549 --> 01:03:29,760 reincarnation and people going to heaven 1593 01:03:33,309 --> 01:03:31,559 and communicating through mediums 1594 01:03:36,890 --> 01:03:33,319 happens 1595 01:03:39,589 --> 01:03:36,900 as we as we head around the curve and 1596 01:03:41,510 --> 01:03:39,599 head towards uh towards home here I want 1597 01:03:42,950 --> 01:03:41,520 to say like I want to point out one 1598 01:03:44,750 --> 01:03:42,960 thing that you just mentioned that is 1599 01:03:47,690 --> 01:03:44,760 like back to the beginning of back what 1600 01:03:49,210 --> 01:03:47,700 I love about your work I was like the 1601 01:03:53,029 --> 01:03:49,220 point you just made 1602 01:03:54,410 --> 01:03:53,039 is something that really sent me in a 1603 01:03:56,690 --> 01:03:54,420 whole different direction Paradigm 1604 01:03:59,270 --> 01:03:56,700 change I was like drop the mic this guy 1605 01:04:00,710 --> 01:03:59,280 is really and it's it's great here's the 1606 01:04:05,329 --> 01:04:00,720 point that you just made 1607 01:04:07,970 --> 01:04:05,339 is that if you accept there is uh 1608 01:04:10,609 --> 01:04:07,980 non-space non-time non-locality outside 1609 01:04:13,609 --> 01:04:10,619 of space outside of time 1610 01:04:16,309 --> 01:04:13,619 then you have to be open to the 1611 01:04:18,529 --> 01:04:16,319 possibility that 1612 01:04:21,589 --> 01:04:18,539 everything can happen 1613 01:04:23,990 --> 01:04:21,599 in a nanosecond everything that that 1614 01:04:26,750 --> 01:04:24,000 you're talking about and and this is you 1615 01:04:28,609 --> 01:04:26,760 this is Tony Peak talking about an 1616 01:04:30,589 --> 01:04:28,619 explanation for near-death experience an 1617 01:04:33,410 --> 01:04:30,599 explanation I don't White 1618 01:04:35,630 --> 01:04:33,420 agree with them 100 but I think it's 1619 01:04:38,029 --> 01:04:35,640 undeniable where you've taken us there 1620 01:04:41,390 --> 01:04:38,039 and where you've kind of uh 1621 01:04:43,190 --> 01:04:41,400 Propel this into just like your work in 1622 01:04:46,010 --> 01:04:43,200 understanding extended Consciousness 1623 01:04:47,870 --> 01:04:46,020 Realms so I I just want to bring it back 1624 01:04:49,910 --> 01:04:47,880 because I want to know where else you're 1625 01:04:52,370 --> 01:04:49,920 going and what else you're doing and I 1626 01:04:53,750 --> 01:04:52,380 want to wrap this diet algorithm we'll 1627 01:04:57,230 --> 01:04:53,760 have to have another one but I want 1628 01:04:59,510 --> 01:04:57,240 people to know how I balance these two 1629 01:05:01,670 --> 01:04:59,520 things in saying hey I don't agree with 1630 01:05:04,010 --> 01:05:01,680 this guy on everything but this guy is 1631 01:05:06,950 --> 01:05:04,020 so Cutting Edge he's got so many great 1632 01:05:08,690 --> 01:05:06,960 ideas and is synthesizing so much great 1633 01:05:10,069 --> 01:05:08,700 research that we really really have to 1634 01:05:12,289 --> 01:05:10,079 listen to him and pay attention do you 1635 01:05:14,870 --> 01:05:12,299 know what you know what I like about you 1636 01:05:16,849 --> 01:05:14,880 you're the only person that interviews 1637 01:05:20,150 --> 01:05:16,859 me that challenges me properly 1638 01:05:21,950 --> 01:05:20,160 that really makes me think puts me on 1639 01:05:23,329 --> 01:05:21,960 the spot and this is what I do with my 1640 01:05:24,589 --> 01:05:23,339 friends and this is what you normally do 1641 01:05:26,210 --> 01:05:24,599 when you're down the pub arguing ideas 1642 01:05:27,770 --> 01:05:26,220 and this is what I love about your work 1643 01:05:30,109 --> 01:05:27,780 and this is what I love about what you 1644 01:05:32,809 --> 01:05:30,119 do you really know your stuff 1645 01:05:35,210 --> 01:05:32,819 and it's great because great things 1646 01:05:37,069 --> 01:05:35,220 happen when Minds like you and I and 1647 01:05:39,950 --> 01:05:37,079 various other people we sit around and 1648 01:05:41,690 --> 01:05:39,960 we debate round the subject we come 1649 01:05:43,670 --> 01:05:41,700 round and we appreciate each other's 1650 01:05:46,130 --> 01:05:43,680 position and we discuss each other's 1651 01:05:47,450 --> 01:05:46,140 position it's profoundly important and 1652 01:05:49,370 --> 01:05:47,460 indeed that's the route where I'm going 1653 01:05:52,609 --> 01:05:49,380 to be going with my work now I I feel 1654 01:05:54,529 --> 01:05:52,619 that I've probably completed my book 1655 01:05:57,710 --> 01:05:54,539 cycle I don't think I've got anything 1656 01:05:59,750 --> 01:05:57,720 really more to say I'm thinking 1657 01:06:02,450 --> 01:05:59,760 um probably writing maybe some more 1658 01:06:05,630 --> 01:06:02,460 biographies uh possibly I'm also 1659 01:06:08,630 --> 01:06:05,640 debating with a A friend of mine who's 1660 01:06:10,250 --> 01:06:08,640 got a PhD in in William Shakespeare of 1661 01:06:11,089 --> 01:06:10,260 doing a book on Shakespeare in the 1662 01:06:13,970 --> 01:06:11,099 occult 1663 01:06:15,950 --> 01:06:13,980 maybe and also I'm working with a couple 1664 01:06:17,750 --> 01:06:15,960 of Associates where we're working on 1665 01:06:20,630 --> 01:06:17,760 maybe a recreation of the Philip 1666 01:06:24,529 --> 01:06:20,640 experiment took place in Toronto in uh 1667 01:06:26,450 --> 01:06:24,539 in 1970. wow that would be that's scary 1668 01:06:29,089 --> 01:06:26,460 isn't it does that it is sad aloshing 1669 01:06:30,710 --> 01:06:29,099 with the aggregorials again and also I'm 1670 01:06:32,150 --> 01:06:30,720 working very closely with Associates of 1671 01:06:33,650 --> 01:06:32,160 mine again somebody you need to get on 1672 01:06:35,870 --> 01:06:33,660 your show and some Anthony treasure 1673 01:06:38,210 --> 01:06:35,880 who's doing some fascinating work with 1674 01:06:41,089 --> 01:06:38,220 her new book which will be out next year 1675 01:06:43,430 --> 01:06:41,099 on non-standard ghosts and I'm really 1676 01:06:45,950 --> 01:06:43,440 interested in this idea of of ghosts 1677 01:06:48,230 --> 01:06:45,960 that are like cartoon ghosts or physical 1678 01:06:50,690 --> 01:06:48,240 objects that you see as ghosts 1679 01:06:52,490 --> 01:06:50,700 and also I'm also keen on actually 1680 01:06:54,710 --> 01:06:52,500 taking the idea of the Daemon further 1681 01:06:57,770 --> 01:06:54,720 and trying to do some experiments really 1682 01:06:59,750 --> 01:06:57,780 to to really get into the idea of how we 1683 01:07:01,849 --> 01:06:59,760 can develop it as well so a lot of 1684 01:07:03,049 --> 01:07:01,859 exciting things going on we ought to do 1685 01:07:05,990 --> 01:07:03,059 some of that we ought to do some of 1686 01:07:07,609 --> 01:07:06,000 these shows together we did 1687 01:07:10,069 --> 01:07:07,619 what a question 1688 01:07:13,010 --> 01:07:10,079 Alex that would be brilliant because 1689 01:07:15,410 --> 01:07:13,020 it's kind of point to Counterpoint 1690 01:07:17,990 --> 01:07:15,420 and it it works you know the way the old 1691 01:07:20,990 --> 01:07:18,000 Socratic dialogues you know its thesis 1692 01:07:22,190 --> 01:07:21,000 antithesis synthesis exactly that's what 1693 01:07:25,329 --> 01:07:22,200 we're doing that's what we were just 1694 01:07:30,829 --> 01:07:29,029 exactly and I do I think I'm hoping that 1695 01:07:33,710 --> 01:07:30,839 you know if we hash it out we can kind 1696 01:07:36,650 --> 01:07:33,720 of model for people that it isn't the 1697 01:07:40,670 --> 01:07:36,660 debate as much as it is uh 1698 01:07:42,529 --> 01:07:40,680 you know sharing of information that 1699 01:07:44,510 --> 01:07:42,539 pulls something down so that it can be 1700 01:07:46,849 --> 01:07:44,520 replaced by something else not to just 1701 01:07:48,710 --> 01:07:46,859 you know do that so yeah we should see 1702 01:07:51,829 --> 01:07:48,720 if we could even we'll we could even 1703 01:07:53,990 --> 01:07:51,839 think of some ways to uh to reinforce 1704 01:07:55,609 --> 01:07:54,000 that that is the principle of it so we 1705 01:07:58,370 --> 01:07:55,619 should do that I'd love to do it on 1706 01:08:00,109 --> 01:07:58,380 skeptical thought that I did we should 1707 01:08:01,430 --> 01:08:00,119 absolutely do it on skeptico and you 1708 01:08:03,230 --> 01:08:01,440 know
