New Thinking Allowed Audio Podcast

InPresence host, Jeffrey Mishlove, PhD, is author of The Roots of Consciousness, Psi Development Systems, and The PK Man. Between 1986 and 2002 he hosted and co-produced the original Thinking Allowed public television series. He is the recipient of the only doctoral diploma in “parapsychology” ever awarded by an accredited university (University of California, Berkeley, 1980). For many years he served as president of the non-profit Intuition Network, an organization dedicated to creating a world in which all people were supported and encouraged in developing inner intuitive abilities. Here he reviews psychological concepts related to wholeness, including self-actualization, individuation, and multiple intelligences. He talks about a time in his youth when he felt confused and ungrounded, as he symbolized in a woodcut he created called “Spaghetti Man”. A decade later, after much work on himself, Jeffrey created his first Rainbow YinYang image — a symbol of wholeness. He points out that art is a way of expressing outwardly what we see when we look inward.

For many years he served as president of the non-profit Intuition Network, an organization dedicated to creating a world in which all people were supported and encouraged in developing inner intuitive abilities. Here he discusses the “Complaint is a Gift” philosophy that his spouse, Janelle M. Barlow, has popularized in the world of business customer service. He notes that only one dissatisfied person in eight will even bother to complain. Those who take the time and trouble to complain, and risk being treated rudely, should be thanked for providing useful feedback. He also points out that treating complaints as gifts is just a valuable strategy in one’s personal life as it is in business.

For many years he served as president of the non-profit Intuition Network, an organization dedicated to creating a world in which all people were supported and encouraged in developing inner intuitive abilities. Here he reviews different approaches to knowledge and inquiry. He notes that parapsychology is a holistic discipline that incorporates several different approaches — including experimental science. He highlight the history of psychical research and parapsychology, including the work of J.B. Rhine at Duke University. He emphasizes the importance of the 1969 decision by the Council of the American Association for the Advancement of Science to recognize the Parapsychological Association as an affiliate organization.

Here he points out that the New Thinking Allowed videos are offered to viewers at no cost — as his way of sharing the wealth of knowledge he has received in his life. He also notes that the videos are transmitting more than knowledge, but also heartfelt passion, and perhaps a spiritual resonance. He suggests that the best way to be open to and receive this gift is by “paying it forward” — i.e., being of service to other people as much as possible.

Here he compares Hindu and Buddhist ideals of enlightenment with the Freudian notion that mystical states represent a regression to an infantile state. He points to the work of Abraham Maslow and the important role of “peak experiences” in the self-actualization process. He also provides examples of individuals who claimed to have achieved states of enlightenment instantaneously. Noting that many supposed gurus have “feet of clay”, he suggests that we can be enlightened in some areas of our life and not in others.

Here he describes his family history relative to the Jewish religion. One set of grandparents were highly religious. The others were very secular. Jeffrey had a strong religious education, but ended up leaving the religion for about thirty years — before experiencing a “t’shuvah” or turning back to Judaism. He became very intensely involved with Judaism until the death of his father and a spiritual experience following the funeral.

Here he describes the active community of occultists with whom he associated in the early 1970s in Berkeley, California. One Berkeley student, Isaac Bonewits, wrote a book called “Real Magic”. Aleister Crowley’s writings were popular. Jeffrey describes a harrowing experience in which he invoked magical principles in order to correct an injustice. While his goal was accomplished, the process taught him not to play with lower forms of magick.

Here he notes that the guided meditation linked to InPresence 0003 includes reference to the chakras. He reviews each of the chakras and shows how they relate to the Freudian, Adlerian, and Jungian systems of depth psychology.

Here he points out that the term “metaphysics” has both a popular and an academic, philosophical meaning — and that there is some overlap. One can think of metaphysics as a branch of ontology — the inquiry into what is ultimately real. The logical positivists believed that metaphysics is nonsensical; however this view is on the wane. Sorokin, in sociology, holds that metaphysics serves as a glue to hold cultural eras together. Pragmatists examine whether different metaphysical views have practical consequences.

Here he points out that, thus far, he has conducted more New Thinking Allowed video conversations with Stephan Schwartz than with any other individual. He reviews Schwartz’ background and the fact that they were both guided by serendipitous experiences to pursue careers in parapsychology. Schwartz has also made more contributions to the field of applied psi than, probably, any other individual. In addition Jeffrey points out that Schwartz’ daily internet newsletter, The Schwartz Report, examines social and political issues from a data-driven stance. See https://www.schwartzreport.net/.
