Jason Interviews Mark Gober regarding his new book, An End to Upside Down Thinking.  Consciousness creates all material reality. Biological processes do not create consciousness. This conceptual breakthrough turns traditional scientific thinking upside down. In An End to Upside Down Thinking, Mark Gober traces his journey – he explores compelling scientific evidence from a diverse set of disciplines, ranging from psychic phenomena, to near-death experiences, to quantum physics. With cutting-edge thinkers like two-time Nobel Peace Prize nominee Dr. Ervin Laszlo, Chief Scientist at the Institute of Noetic Sciences Dr. Dean Radin, and New York Times bestselling author Larry Dossey, MD supporting this thesis, this book will rock the scientific community and mainstream generalists interested in understanding the true nature of reality. Today’s disarray around the globe can be linked, at its core, to a fundamental misunderstanding of our reality. This book aims to shift our collective outlook, reshaping our view of human potential and how we treat one another. The book’s implications encourage much-needed revisions in science, technology, and medicine. General readers will find comfort in the implied worldview, which will impact their happiness and everyday decisions related to business, health and politics.

Jason Interviews Authors, David Jay Brown and Rebecca Ann Hill on their new book, Women in Visionary Art.  Brown and Hill provide an exploration of the role that dreaming, psychedelic experiences, and mystical visions play in visionary art.  This book includes discussions with 18 well-known female artists, including Josephine Wall, Allyson Grey, Amanda Sage, Martina Hoffmann, Penny Slinger, and Carolyn Mary Kleefeld. The authors reveal how they have all been inspired by deep inner experiences and seek to express non-ordinary visions of reality, reminiscent of shamanic trance states, lucid dreams, and spiritually transcendent experiences, and they show how visionary art often contains an abundance of feminine energy, helping us to heal ourselves and see that we are all connected.  Since early humans first painted from their mystic eye onto cave walls, artists have sought to share their sacred visions with the world. Created in every medium, from oil painting and sculpture to contemporary digital modeling, these visionary works of art give those who experience them a chance to “see the unseen,” realize wider modes of perception, and discover spiritual and mystical realms.  In this full-color illustrated book, David Jay Brown and Rebecca Ann Hill examine the work and inspirations of eighteen of today’s leading female visionary artists, including Josephine Wall, Allyson Grey, Amanda Sage, Martina Hoffmann, Penny Slinger, and Carolyn Mary Kleefeld. They explore the creative process and the role that dreaming, psychedelic experiences, sexuality, and divine guidance play in the work of these women, alongside full-color examples of their art.  They discuss the future of visionary art and reveal how these artists have all been informed and inspired by deep inner experiences and seek to express non-ordinary visions of reality.

Have you ever wondered about what awaits us when we cross over? Have you ever dealt with a health scare where you go through a complex series of emotions and fear the future?  In September 2018, I was diagnosed with Stage One Kidney Cancer while undergoing a routine CT scan.  When I was first diagnosed with Cancer, I was emotionally numb about it.  I felt that I would get through this bout of it since it was Stage One. I minimized it and its impact on my current life.  Then I had a cryoblast/cryosurgery procedure to remove the cancer tumor from my right kidney on September 26, 2018.  As I awaited the results from the surgery a complex series of emotions that were previously bottled up within me started to emerge.  I felt so lucky and fortunate that I caught this tumor in its earliest stage. However, I also had a sense of guilt about those who are not as fortunate and who have a much more difficult struggle.  Even now when I think back to the past few weeks, I have not fully processed the full impact of my individual experience.  I have a great deal of gratitude for those who have been increbily concerned and supportive for me.  

On Thursday, November 1, 2018, I underwent a routine colonoscopy and endoscopy as I prepare for my next surgery.  While under anesthesia, I had what I believe to be a significant spiritual experience.  I believe that I might have captured a glimpse of what awaits us on the other side. I feel strongly that I encountered my deceased grandparents and other family members who reassured me and provided me with information to relay back to my mother and others in family. Most importantly, I experienced Unconditional Love in its purest form and it was powerful and healing. In this special episode, I wanted to share this experience with you and I hope that you enjoy it.
