I recently had the pleasure of being interviewed by Alex Tsakiris for the Skeptiko podcast. We covered all the topics mentioned in the title and more.

Skeptiko is one of the finest podcasts on the net covering the science of human consciousness:

Hello everybody, I was recently a guest on the Archetypal Tarot Podcast, alongside Nicole Schnackenberg. We spoke about body image from a spiritual and mythical perspective, talking about the soul's relationship with the body, the hero's journey, films such as Labyrinth and even a bit of Game of Thrones. Even if Tarot is not your thing, The Archetypal Tarot Podcast is one the best shows on mythology and symbolism there is. If you are into Tarot, the hosts Julienne and Cyndera have done a complete course on the symbolism of the Major Arcana. I can't overstate how much I enjoyed recording this and I hope you enjoy it too.

Perhaps the most intriguing aspect of 9/11 is the CIA preventing the FBI from finding out about 9/11 hijackers entering the country - and those hijackers relationship with Saudi intelligence. In this episode Adam explains the story of Alec station, made famous by the The Looming Tower series.

In this edition of the Roads to 9/11 series Adam explains the Millennium terror plot, Al Qaeda'a Kuala Lumpur summit and the bombing of the USS Cole.

Jackie Chivers is a psychotherapist specializing in the treatment of trauma. In this interview she discusses how her own trauma led her into this profession and how she has witnessed the work transform both herself and her clients. We go on to talk about the wider societal impact of trauma on things such as crime, and the changes that might come about in society through addressing it. We also discuss how trauma effects our ability to engage reflectively in typically polarizing areas such as political discussion - and how we can overcome this. Finally we talk about the role trauma can play in opening up creativity and how we might access that without such negative experiences.

Counsellor Darran Kenna joins the discussion about half way through.

Ali Mohamed was the triple agent who worked for Al Qaeda, the CIA, the FBI and US Special Forces all at the same time. He presents a conundrum that may hold the key to a deeper understanding of the States working relationship with terrorism.

Mike Williamson was by his own account 'an ordinary guy with no interest in spiritualism'. He thought it was just 'cranks trying to make money off people'. That was until an injury to his daughters foot led him to a spiritual healer. This began a journey into the world of spiritualism and mediumship, subjects on which Mike has now authored three books.

As part of our continuing series I ask Mike about his experiences with spirit possession and how this phenomenon relates to schizophrenia. I also ask all the obvious questions that jump into my mind which might help shed light on the objective nature of this other realm.

In this episode Adam talks about the development of Al Qaeda through the 1990's, leading up to the bombings of the US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania. Adam explains the role of double (or triple) agent Ali Mohamed in the attacks ask why the NSA, given their wiretaps, were unable to prevent it.

In this episode we catch up with Ramzi Yousef, the mastermind of the 1993 World Trade Centre bombing, as he flees to Pakistan and then the Philippines and plots to bomb multiply airplanes in flight. A plan known as Operation Bojinka.

For those who see 9/11 as principally an Islamist plot, Bojinka is often presented as the template. Adam assess this claim and contrasts it to Operation Norhtwoods, the US Government's plan to fake a shoot down of a civilian plane to justify an invasion of Cuba, which those who see 9/11 as being an 'inside job' point to for a template.

Claire Broad has been a medium for over twenty years and is the co-author of 'Answers From Heaven, Incredible True Stories of Heavenly Encounters and the Afterlife'. In this interview I put to Claire many of the concerns people have about the dangers of contacting spirits. That they might be deceived by impostors, that possession may result, that they are opening themselves up to demons etc. Claire explains how her experience of this work has been overwhelmingly positive and why she feels things might go wrong for some people and what can be done about it.
