No one really knows what happens when we die. Does the physical body pass away, but the human spirit live on? If so, where and in what form? Or is spirit, like modern science might say, just some type of emergent property of the body, so that it too dissolves into the ground with the body? On this show, Philip Mereton talks with Dr. Rom Weber (http://www.communicationsinspirit.com/), who has been called one of world’s most normal mediums. Her 18 years of practicing mediumship has convinced her that it is possible to communicate with the spirits of those who have passed on in this world, indicating that some aspect of a person survives after bodily death. Strange in the world of science, but normal in the world of spirit.

Does it sometimes seem that physical objects appear from nowhere? Lost keys are later found in the first place you looked; someone you thought had died is really alive; bumps and bruises disappear overnight. Strange happenings we usually attribute to absent-mindedness or luck. But there might be another explanation for these reality shifts: perhaps they show that the reality we thought was fixed is really a type of fluid energy; dream-like rather than machine-like. This week, Philip Mereton’s guest, Cynthia Sue Larson (http://www.realityshifters.com), the author of Reality Shifts: When Consciousness Changes the Physical World (http://www.amazon.com/Reality-Shifts-Consciousness-Changes-Physical/dp/1461075211), discusses how quantum physics, lucid dreaming, and Eastern thought all suggest that shifts in the physical world can actually occur, and how we can use them to our advantage.

The notion that we are part of one mind stands directly opposed to virtually everything we’ve been taught, which makes it a strange idea. Don’t we all have separate bodies with separate brains, disconnected creatures following our own paths? Isn’t all that matters our own personal success? On this show, Philip Mereton explores the notion of the one mind with, Dr. Larry Dossey (http://www.dosseydossey.com/larry/default.html ), best-selling author of the new book, One Mind: How Our Individual Mind is Part of a Greater Consciousness and Why it Matters (http://www.amazon.com/One-Mind-Individual-Greater-Consciousness/dp/1401943152 ). As this conversation shows, multiple lines of evidence are pointing in the direction of the one mind, and soon it might not be such a strange thought after all.

The term brainwashing can be used to describe the process by which we give up control of our minds and thoughts and adopt, without questioning, the ideas impressed upon us by parents, teachers, the media, religious leaders, celebrities and a variety of other sources. These ideas turn negative when they limit our potential, imposing permanent economic or social handicaps that are no more real than the thought that holds them. On this show, Philip Mereton talks with Michaelson Williams (http://www.michaelsonwilliams.com ), the author of Trainwashing: The Secrets of Positive Brainwashing, (http://www.amazon.com/Trainwashing-Secrets-Positive-Washing-ebook/dp/B00BHZOQ1G) about how this problem develops and what we can do to train our minds to reverse the process, practice positive brainwashing, and take back control of our mind and our future.

According to a recent CBS poll, 57% of the American public believes in some form of physic phenomena. But according to modern science, psychic phenomena is unproven, and anyone who believes in these events is in some way deluded. (http://www.michaelshermer.com/the-believing-brain/) Philip Mereton's guest this week, Dean Radin (http://deanradin.com/), perhaps more than any other person, has used the rigorous methods of science to show that psychic phenomena is real, and also consistent with the findings of quantum theory. In his new book, Supernormal: Science, Yoga, and the Evidence for Extraordinary Psychic Abilities, (http://www.amazon.com/Supernormal-Science-Evidence-Extraordinary-Abilities/dp/030798690X) he shows that according to ancient yoga tradition, psychic abilities result from a refinement of the mind, and reflect a natural power anyone can master.

On this show, Philip Mereton talks with clinical hypnotherapist (http://www.hypnotherapylosangeles.com )and spiritual teacher, Dr. John McGrail (http://www.drjohnmcgrail.com), author of The Synthesis Effect: Your Direct Path to Personal Power and Transformation (http://www.amazon.com/The-Synthesis-Effect-Personal-Transformation/dp/1601632053 ) about easy methods to unlock our spiritual essence and head toward our inner vision. Synthesize competing beliefs, balance needs and responsibilities, and realize that in the end, life is supposed to be fun.

Life-after death, near-death, and out-of-body experiences; noisy spirits; haunted houses; and ghosts. Paranormal happenings, however much science tells us they don’t exist, continue to fascinate the intellect, as evidenced by the increasing number of readers, TV viewers, and moviegoers attracted to stories breaking the rules of what we call reality. While the media tends to sensationalize the paranormal for entertainment value, there are a number of researchers studying the paranormal using the methods of science. Philip Mereton’s guest this week is one of the country’s leading paranormal researchers, Ed Ozosky (http://www.linkedin.com/pub/ed-ozosky/47/6a8/9a9), founder of Hauntings Research (http://www.hauntingsresearch.com/)and instructor of Paranormal Studies at Pittsburgh Area College. Is the paranormal real? After listening to this interview, you may no longer have any doubts.

You may not have noticed, but a vast array of phenomena remain unexplained in our current world model. These mysteries range from cosmic ones like dark matter (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_Matter)(the missing mass holding the universe together) and dark energy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_energy)(the missing energy accelerating the expansion of the universe) to the paranormal, and God itself. There is hope that in the coming decades we will come upon a new world outlook that will solve the mysteries of the cosmos while also solving the mysteries of the spirit. But if we tear down the existing world model, we will need something to replace it. Join Philip Mereton as he discusses a provocative new idea for accomplishing this goal proposed by guest Thomas Fusco, author of the book, Behind the Cosmic Veil: A New Vision of Reality Merging Science, the Spiritual and the Supernatural (http://www.cosmicveil.com/ ).

Modern research -- and ancient tradition -- show that there is more to intelligence than mental power. Balancing the many facets of intelligence -- emotional (http://psychology.about.com/od/personalitydevelopment/a/emotionalintell.htm), sensory, and intuitive -- offers the best promise for reaching our potential as human beings. This week's guest, Suzanna Axisa (http://www.thegapcoach.com/), joins Philip Mereton from Venice, Italy to talk about how, by better understanding how to access our own intuition, we can close the gap between who we think we are and who we really are.

All signs point to a revolution. But this revolution will not occur in the streets or on the battlefield, but in the mind. The revolution (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Structure_of_Scientific_Revolutions) will turn us from viewing the world as a random collection of mindless particles to a world of the mind. It will integrate the findings of quantum theory and the truths of Eastern mysticism into what we are. On this show, Philip Mereton talks with leading thinker Dianne Collins (http://diannecollins.com/), author of Do you QuantumThink? New Thinking that will Rock your World (http://www.amazon.com/Do-You-QuantumThink-Thinking-World/dp/159079074X ), about why we need a change in thinking and what this new world of the mind might look like.
