Today we’re having a chat with Dr Iya Whiteley. She is currently the Director for the Centre for Space Medicine in London. Iya is an Aviation and Space Psychologist a Korean Medicine practitioner, an adventurer and martial artist and also the Founder of the Cosmic Baby Academy. Iya studies what motivates people to go beyond the edge of their capabilities, researching professional intuition. Her work focuses on pilots and astronauts to "hear their thinking”. We learn about childhood innocence and the astronaut, the significance of coincidences, the shattering of beliefs with the experience of space travel, ghosts in the cockpit, plonking to earth and fragility. And, she brings us through the cosmic connection with the baby’s experience and her desire to create a language for babies and parents not bound by linguistic parameters. A Searcher without needing to prove a point.   Proposing a way forward.   Have a listen to Diana Pasulka (ep 142) and former Navy fighter pilot, Ryan Graves (ep 142).   Iya, https://linktr.ee/driyawhiteley   https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-iya-whiteley   IG: @driyawhiteley

We have a chat today with Michael from his home in Butte, Montana. Michael is a professor of biological anthropology at Montana Technological University in Butte where he actively researches hominin evolutionary anatomy, human variation, archaeology, biomedicine, and the UFO phenomenon. His research examines the premise that ‘aliens’ may be our human descendants, returning from the future to visit and study their own hominin evolutionary past. He brings us through his early fascination with the unknown as a young boy and his personal follow through on his what ifs straight into a life in anthropology – and back beyond. We learn about his experience holding ancient skulls, non-local consciousness and the question on whether or not rocks and mountains are ‘alive’. We talk manufactured stigma, telepathic downloads and the support of his university in his quest to investigate the ufo question with both a scientific fastidiousness and an open-minded viewpoint of the world informed by his own mystical experiences. Straight-up, straight-talk. See our talks with Archeologist Dr. Vera Tiesler (ep 81) and world renowned Paleontologist Jack Horner (p 158) …. And Jeffrey Kripal (ep 118).

Francis today who joins us from Molise, Italy. Fr. Francis is an author, a scholar, an expert on Tibetan Buddhism an alchemist and an artist. He lives a life of science and spirituality and we discuss how alchemy plays an important part in his life as a reflection of that balance. We dive into languages and dialects and their interconnectivity to geography and culture, the trek of the snow leopard and a discussion on the most important laboratory on earth. We hear about his mystical experiences as a young man and the wonder that has pushed him since. We learn about his searching for those in Tibet who have experienced the actual dissolution of their physical body and the manifesting of their light body – the so-called rainbow body. And we learn about the wisdom collected along the way.   Fr.

Welcome back to Behind Greatness. We are honoured today to be speaking with Pacho Flores from Valencia, Spain, in his first interview in English. A native of San Cristobal, Venezuela and an early student of El Sistema, Pacho is a globally recognized trumpeter. He is also a leader in the blending of Latin American sounds in his compositions, with composers drafting pieces explicitly for his style. He is also the lead artist in residence with the world's leading brass instrument manufacturer Stomvi. He hear about his thoughts on genius v crazy, investing for quality, the miracle of Jose Antonio Abreu's El Sistema and the joy that the Southern Hemisphere brings to the world (of music). We learn about the trumpet as the big protagonist in music and Latin American sound, the joy and the sorrow it emotes and his personal/professional mission to show Latin culture through his repertoire. We discuss why music is "the queen of the arts", the role of empathy in music and why dreaming for Pacho is pivotal in creating pathways.    Our warmest abrazo to our friend Dr. Vera Tiesler (ep 81) and a tip of the hat to Joan Koenig (ep 79) and Wynton Marsalis (ep126).   Pacho, Website - www.pachoflores.com IG: @pachofloresofficial  FB: https://www.facebook.com/pachofloresofficial/?fref=ts X: @pacho_flores YT - Concierto de Otoño para trompeta - Arturo Marquez https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gt06z5ZiysQ   Stomvi, Website - https://stomvi.com/

In this engaging discussion, science writer Eric Wargo, a PhD in Anthropology, delves into the fascinating concepts of precognition and creativity. He shares personal stories of precognitive dreams and his UFO sighting that sparked a new creative path. The conversation touches on how trauma can enhance artistic expression and suggests that artists might channel prophetic insights from the future. Eric also explores the idea of communicating with future selves, challenging our understanding of time and free will. An insightful journey into the mind awaits!

We are tuned in today with Paul Smith. Paul is a retired major in the US Army. He is most known as being a key member in the US government’s secret Psychic Espionage Program, Star Gate, during the 1980s and 90s. He is a leading expert on ESP, Remote Viewing and applied consciousness. He was only part of a handful of people trained by the father of remote viewing: Ingo Swann and he in turn became one of the few trainers in the unit of other remote viewers. Paul brings us through the Men in Black scenario of his recruitment at Fort Meade … to his time in the unit and the stories of his remote viewing exercises … to unofficially using his skills when he served in Desert Storm … and to his wife figuring out about his psychic military duties. We discuss non-local consciousness and the difficulties that main stream scientists still have with non-physical realities. We discuss applied intuition and ESP-informed intuition, bilocation and when Ingo Swann saved the world. We also learn about Pat Price (the country’s most capable remote viewer at the time and Police Commissioner) finding 4 presumed UFO bases on the planet in the 1970s using remote viewing - and Paul’s experience in remote viewing the same and his discussion of the “people” he viewed there. See other remote viewers: Russell Targ (ep 80) , Dean Radin (ep 122), Stephan Schwartz (154, 155), Lyn Buchanan (ep163), Nancy DuTetre (167).

We sit down with Rudy, who joins us from his home in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Rudy is a pre-eminent expert on black holes and a world renowned Astrophysicist from Harvard, practicing 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.   Are you ready, listener?   We plunge into the vastness of the universe and swim in the nothingness and fullness of it all. We hear about blackholes as nature’s hard drive, the nature of existence and reality, his friendship with Dr. Edgar Mitchell (storied astronaut) and Dr. John Mack (famed Harvard psychiatrist) and their unique research, the quantum hologram, the alien breeding program, interaction with non-human intelligence post-Hiroshima/Nagasaki, changes in the brain post ufo-contact, and the important work of scientist Wilhelm Reich in quantum medicine and quantum engineering .   And we only got to swim in Rudy’s shallow end on this talk.   To be continued.   See earlier episodes with FREE/CCRI co-Founders Rey Hernandez (ep 153, 154) & Mary Rodwell (ep 149).

We are sitting down today with Stephen at his home in Santa Barbara. Among other things, he is the founder of Dream Tending and the Academy of Imagination in California. He’s a depth psychologist and he has been exploring dreams for over 4 decades. He conducts dreamwork and imagination seminars and workshops throughout the world, including presentations to the UN and to legislators in the US. We dive into the language of dreams, hearing the imagery and the intelligence of the planet learned through the dreaming state. He explains the imperialistic impulse in our dreaming and the importance of asking the questions in the dreaming state. We learn about the witnessing presence, treating the dream as the very beginning: the “ongoingness of the conversation” and “the difference that makes all the difference”. And we talk about leaning forward with curiosity in facing malevolent dream characters and “allowing the creativity that is indigenous to come to life”. A trip. Ask yourself, “who is dreaming the dream?” For other episodes on dream talk, see Antonia Mills (ep88), Athena Laz (ep100), Kenneth Oppel (ep106), Fr.

Welcome to Behind Greatness. We are joined by Mike at his residence in the Pacific Northeast. Mike is an author an illustrator and an expert in ultralight backpacking. He is also a recognized “owl guy”. Mike is one of the only people on planet earth who has been collecting, documenting, researching and archiving owl events (from around the world) in relation to ufo experiences and ufo contact. He shares with us the mystical experience that first brought his attention to owls, his recall of missing time as a boy, his contact experience with extraterrestrials and his gripping story of March 10 2013. We learn from him what he believes owls really do represent and why they are important to understanding our interconnectedness to the non-physical realm. Don’t miss his metaphor of “between the magnets”.   Gufo.   See also conversation with entrepreneur and psychologist Dr. Werner Barkhuizen (ep162 ) for more experiences re owls and orbs.   Mike, Website & Books: www.mikeclelland.com X: @clellandmike
