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 discusses the maxim that everything is more meaningful the closer one is to god. He relates this to his Jewish background and the feeling of many Jews of having been abandoned by the deity in their hour of need — the holocaust. He introduces the work of Victor Frankl, the founder of logo therapy. He also discusses research suggesting that individuals reporting subjective psychic experiences often have painful childhoods.

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 notes that “Super ESP” or “living agent psi” is a hypothesis offered as an alternative to postmortem survival when explaining data from spiritualist mediums or reincarnation. He offers two strong examples that people view differently: the “chess gave from beyond the grave” and the “Watseka Wonder”. He also brings up the concept of “tolerance of ambiguity” and the work of psychologist Frank X. Barron.

Jason Reza Jorjani, PhD, is a philosopher and author of Prometheus and Atlas, World State of Emergency, Lovers of Sophia, Novel Folklore: The Blind Owl of Sadegh Hedayat, and Iranian Leviathan: A Monumental History of Mithra’s Abode. Here he reviews the history of philosophical arguments relating to either the necessity or appropriateness of truth distortions. The discussion includes the thoughts of Pythagoras, Plato, Aristotle, Kant, Nietzsche, William James, and Leo Strauss. Jorjani defends the application of the noble lie in some circumstances, and points out how it has been despicably abused in others. The conversation concludes with a pointed review of Jorjani’s own involvement with the Iranian renaissance movement and the alt-right. Many viewers will know that Jason Reza Jorjani has suffered from libel and persecution as a result of his, generally misunderstood, political views. In my view, he is a brilliant scholar who has now been unfairly disgraced and is forced to fight a legal battle, while continuing his research and writing, without any regular employment. Therefore I have set up this “Go Fund Me” page in order to assist this worthy individual.

Here he proclaims that the time has arrived for a psychic liberation movement. He reviews liberation movements of the past including civil rights, anti-war, women’s liberation, and gay liberation. He lists a series of injustices — particularly within academic — faced by researchers, teachers, and students interested in parapsychology. He urges viewers to consider what they might be able to do to encourage and provide social support for those engaged in the psychic field.

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 points out that, traditionally, sociologists maintain that human consciousness is conditioned by large, powerful social institutions. He argues for another perspective, one that acknowledges the reality of interior experience independent of external social pressures. He reviews the contributions of the great sociologist, Pitirim A. Sorokin. He maintains that the antidote to the crisis of modernity is the creation of a lasting culture based on balance between inner and outer realities.

Here he shares his feelings about having conducted video conversations with more than 50 individuals who are now deceased. He describes musician, George Harrison’s wish to die consciously, and he discusses the “art of dying” as it has been presented in various cultures, including Egypt and China. He also reviews some findings from near-death research, particularly the life-review experience reported by some.

Here he discusses William James’ famous essay, published in 1910, that argues eloquently for a new solution to end war based on redirecting the positive military virtues of honor, glory, self-sacrifice, and tests of manhood. Jeffrey also brings up James’ interest in Hinduism and contrasts James’ philosophy with the cosmic distance to the consequences of war argued in the classic Bhagavat Gita.

Here he reviews a number of theories concerning UFOs. Are they psychokinetic projections? Are they extraterrestrial visitors? Are they time travelers (i.e., humans) visiting from the future? Do they come from hyperspace dimensions? Are they part of a control system manipulating the human species? Are they manifestations of the trickster archetype? Jeffrey suggests that many different phenomena get lumped together under the label of UFOs. The field has something of a circus atmosphere and the “trickster” seems to always be nearby.

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 highlights the distinction between facts and theories in science. He notes that some claim parapsychology to be a pseudoscience because they believe in a “rational universe” in which psychic phenomena are impossible. However, theoretical beliefs should begin with empirical observations, not deny their existence. He reviews a number of historical theories, such as animal magnetism, that were based on cutting edge ideas of their age, but later turned out to be inconsistent with science.
