THANK YOU TO THE JET PROPULSION LABORATORY [JPL] & NASA FOR PROVIDING THE NEGATIVES.

Thanks again for joining us at Behind Greatness. This episode is part 7 in our series with Joe.

Joe was a US Army intelligence veteran already before he was chosen to be a part of the psychic intelligence unit at Fort Meade, Maryland, in 1978. He became known as "Remote Viewer No. 1″ within Project Stargate. Project Stargate was the United States' first organized research into psychic phenomena via the Defense Intelligence Agency and contractor SRI International. He is an author and also founder of Intuitive Intelligence Applications Inc. Today, he also teaches Remote Viewing at The Monroe Institute, a leading center in exploring human consciousness.

In this conversation: remote viewing Mars and its civilizations, sharks saving whales, the impossible archived, wearing masks, bombarded by prejudices, doing things because we can, foretelling in shark bites, being watched, weaponizing new inventions, gold prospecting amongst the trees – and lessons learned through donkeys.

Honourable mention: Dr. Chris Lowe, ep 190 & Dr. Jeffrey Krypal, ep 118 & 189

Welcome back to Behind Greatness. Today we have a Jungian chat with Susan Plunket. She has her own practise in the city that never sleeps --- fitting for a psychologist who works on dream interpretation . We talk about her dad's profound life changing experience in the Pacific during WWII and his fortifying parenting style, flying with her sister and basketball courts in space. We dive into the discussion of being crushed into 3D reality, death dreams of AIDS patients in NYC in the 80s and 90s, the ego-self and the greater-self, seeing beyond the illusion of separation and the lessons of her discarnate teacher.

The psyche prepares you for death via dreaming. Let's go!!

Thanks for joining us again at Behind Greatness. We are back again with Rudy. Rudy is a pre-eminent expert on black holes and a world-renowned Astrophysicist from Harvard, practising in the field since the mid-1960s. He is also the co-Founder of FREE / CCRI (see co-Founder past guests Rey Hernandez & Mary Rodwell) and also the Editor in Chief of the Journal of Cosmology.

With Rudy we explore and re-explore: the important research work of the FREE foundation, breeding programs and John Mack's work, fossilized critters in meteorites, his take on the "alien agenda", evidence of life in space, astrotheology, the purpose of the universe and his beloved car collection .

John is a Depth Psychotherapist, Jungian scholar, musician, podcast host (The Sacred Speaks) and the co-founder of The Center for the Healing Arts and Sciences. John sees the sacred in most things. We talk death, aging, decay … "human-ing", questioning our myths, nourishing the mundane, music, the multiplicity of the masculine, blood rites of passage, disrupting our filters and navigating the mush. A fun episode all the way through.

"Give me the weird".

Welcome back to Behind Greatness. Joan (a Catalan name, pronounced "shwan") is an Anthropologist currently living in San Sebastian, Spain. He also owns a travel company called Last Places. This endeavour was born from his love of exploring the last places on Earth and living with its inhabitants – places where no tourists exist. He adopted his grandmother's gaze on the world, living in life's mystical rhythms – following by what you feel rather than by just what you see. In service to this gaze, Joan has focused his life's energy to investigating and researching decaying traditions around the world. We talk about the Amazon, Cameroon, startlink-ification effects on tribal culture, fruit-cracking fish, thinking less v feeling more, dancing with wolves and churches, supermarkets and tracksuits.

We may have also discovered a new emotion.

Welcome back to Behind Greatness. We had loads of fun in this conversation. Robert Wagonner joins us from his home in the Midwest. He is a veteran lucid dreamer, having taught himself how to do it in the '70s and never looked back. Robert elaborates on the lucid state as being an educational system. He discussed "buzzing" while having an out of body experience as a young boy, his brother's book and the Monroe Institute, flying through his neighborhood, house cats and mountain lions. We hear about the mysterious "N4" (144), the mentally mediated realm, following the creativity and the blue light. We explore the magic of goofiness, fear, becoming an electron, the search for inherent evil, Daoist societies, "going the distance" and the voluntary death experience. What a trip.

"Doubt is gravity".

We welcome back to the podcast our friend Kevin Knuth - of viking extraction ("Knud") … . Kevin is a Professor of Physics at the University at Albany. He is a former NASA research scientist designing artificial intelligence algorithms for astrophysical data analysis. His current research interests include the foundations of physics, quantum information, autonomous robotics, the search for and characterization of extrasolar planets, and unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP).

Put on your seatbelts: angel hair, engineer-animals and chemist-plants, "curiosity band-width", extra terrestrial gardeners, lizards and spoons, 1954 incident above a soccer field in Florence, studying refractory time, remote viewing in the family, UAPx, levitation, caterpillar silk from barbell-shaped ufos, believing and seeing, physics we haven't studied yet, what Kevin figured out finally and a donation to Kevin's university and endowment to help him and his team study it all.

Welcome back to Behind Greatness. We speak with Lisa who joins us from her new abode in Emerald Isle. Lisa is the author of Words at the Threshold. Her book is a fascinating compendium of 7 years' research on (and collection of) people's last words. We are charmed by Lisa's casual and playful demeanour from the get-go. We learn about her research, her own deeply personal experiences with dying loved ones and the emotional wisdom of a particular fireman who helped save a moment. Lisa shared with us her ideas about the consensuality of language, humour in dying, the openness and curiosity of our former childhoods that help to book-end – and Herb. The conversation reaches new depths, touching upon Lisa's personal experience with a certain kind of evil that we started to cover in the previous episode with Alex … and what Lisa has found with the unravelling of speech.

My modality is broken. Wow.

Episodes mentioned: Dr. Bruce Greysen (ep 69) re NDE research, Rey Hernandez (ep 153, 154) re modalities, Alex Gomez-Marin (ep 224), Emmeline Villar (ep 173).

Welcome back! Today, we sit down for a great talk with Alex. He works as a physicist, a neuroscientist, an intellectual activist and an author – and he experiments, researches and explores the invisible things that are very real. We quickly slide into a "no time to lose" rhythm with Alex. For just reason. Alex is consumed with investigating impossible things that happen. As a scientist and a seeker he worries about the obstinacy of materialism and "isms" in general and the rigidity of academia as he sees it. We discuss navigating the two worlds of poo-poo and woo-woo, rigorous inquiry, consciousness, evil, ideas as an instrument and the significance of "smallness".

Love. Electrons. Ghosts.

Thanks for joining us at Behind Greatness. We sit down with Philip Carr-Gomm, who joins us from his home in the country in Sussex, England. Philip works, thinks and plays at the cross-section of psychology and spiritualism. He is an author and lecturer and works as a psychologist and psychotherapist. For decades he has rooted his spiritualism in Druidry and he is one of today's most public Druids. We discuss a ton: trees as our spiritual companions, "surrendering", dropping down a hole in New Zealand, lucid dreaming and the big self, pushing the gorilla down into the basement and another Druid - Winston Churchill.

Never quite finished with his exploration, Philip is always making progress.
