Mind the Shift

My conversation with psychologist, healer and consciousness guide Dr Yafi Yair is a wonderful exchange about the human predicament, spiritual growth and what is going on in the world right now, and why. A restructuring is happening before our eyes, says Yafi. It is the very shift that has been talked about since time immemorial. The episode also includes a spiritual feature that is a first for Min...

Independent researcher Armando Mei is part of a team that made waves in the spring of 2025. The results of their scanning beneath the pyramids of Giza – the Khafre pyramid in particular – were sensational. They seemed to reveal gigantic, coherent and seemingly artificial structures down to a depth of over one kilometer. Now, the group hopes to be able to physically explore the underground network...

“Psychedelics trigger a unitive state, and meditation trains it.” So says Naina Eira Gupta, who researches the therapeutic potential of psychedelics and meditation. Psychedelics work because they disrupt the monkey mind, she asserts. They stop the constant chattering in your head, which is the mind’s MO to perpetuate the story of ‘you’. Everything we think we have is just that, a story. “Psychedel...

Dan Waites displays an impressive depth and insightfulness in the videos on his You Tube channel World Astrology Report, but he actually didn’t start working as a mundane astrologer until 2020 (mundane refers to the use of astrology to understand world events and phases).Dan had studied the subject matter and been mesmerized before that, but when the pandemic happened, it was a watershed moment fo...

“Science isn't about showing off. It’s about attending to unusual data, unusual evidence”, says astrophysicist Avi Loeb.“We can only learn new things from anomalies, from what doesn't line up.”Paying attention to anomalies is precisely what he does as head of the Galileo Project at Harvard, whose purpose is to search for evidence of extraterrestrial technology. Loeb is frustrated. Almost a...

It was a pleasure to have Gary Heseltine back on the program, a former detective turned independent UAP investigator. In 2023, after years of research, he released a book, “Non-Human”, about the 1980 Rendlesham forest incidents (RFI), one of the most spectacular and complex UAP events in history. In July of 2025, a documentary about RFI, “Capel Green”, was released (at the time of recording this v...

Humans have always tried to augment and enhance bodily flaws, from eye glasses to prostheses and pacemakers. But something qualitatively different is happening today. The transhumanist movement basically sees humans as biological algorithms. They want to break into the genetic code and the brain and change what a person is into something else. They believe nature has come as far as it can, and now...

Freddy Silva is an author, a speaker and an independent researcher of ancient knowledge and lost civilizations, in particular the temples and other megalithic sites our ancestors built and left behind. The old cultures knew where to build these things to harness the flow of energy. In Freddy Silva’s mind, they are portals.“All of these places around the world that we call temples, for lack of a be...

Arabella Thaïs is a philosopher in the renaissance person style. Her research spans quantum mechanics, cosmology, chaos theory, literature, aesthetics, higher-dimensional mathematics, ontology, and metaphysics. She runs The Temple of Truth, a school of consciousness and self-realization. When we throw ourselves into our conversation, it quickly takes off in all conceivable directions. Beauty Arabe...

Kirsty Tait describes herself as an entrepreneur turned “soulpreneur”.“You can’t really be an entrepreneur if you’re not connected to your soul”, she says. The last few years she has been following signs in life, which has led her to shuttle back and forth between continents, with a special focus on the Central American nation of Panama. We’ll get back to why. Kirsty accidentally entered entrepren...

“You see bald-headed people who have been treated for cancer. ‘You're trying to kill cancer cells, why the hell are you going bald?’ ”The provocative rhetorical question is asked by professor Thomas Seyfried, whose research at Boston College will revolutionize our understanding of cancer and other chronic diseases. “Metabolic therapy kills cancer cells and keeps your hair”, he says. “People ar...

Danny Sheehan is an acclaimed civil rights attorney. He is at the forefront of the movement advocating for UAP disclosure and transparency, but he has a history of being at the center of a number of famous big cases. This episode has two parts. 1 The UFO/UAP part In the 1970s, Danny Sheehan got to see the classified portions of a long-running UFO program called Project Blue Book. “There they were,...

Exploring the idea of Atlantis is irresistible within the sphere of alternative archaeology. Most independent researchers find irrefutable evidence of a civilization-ending cataclysm some millennia before the ‘official’ start of civilization. But what areas were affected? Does ‘Atlantis’ refer to sunken lands in the Atlantic, a wiped-out culture in North Africa or a lost global empire? Or somethin...

Cailín Callaghan is a writer and a spiritual cognitive coach. She has been a mystic since the age of five. Her childhood was fraught with peril and abuse. But she had the ability to bi-locate, to separate body and soul. And she had her spirit guide, Michael, who she later realized is “the Source consciousness from which I spring into this world venue”. People around Cailín told her Michael was mer...

Michael Cremo is a known name in the alternate archaeology community. His and Richard Thompson’s 1993 book “Forbidden Archaeology” has been called an underground classic . But he is an outlier when it comes to extreme human antiquity. Cremo has come to the conclusion that humans – modern humans – have existed on the planet for millions, if not hundreds of millions, of years. This almost dizzying p...

Hypnosis can be healing and liberating. It isn’t spooky manipulation, like in the movies. No pendulums. No turning into chickens on a stage.“I have a high hit rate with my clients”, says hypnotherapist Ylva Wegler.“I can never guarantee a result, because we all have our unique journeys. But I am still amazed by the results.”She believes the best ingredient in her sessions is that she is good at cr...

Meredith Oke's calling is to spread the knowledge of the emerging science of quantum biology and the pivotal role of light to health. This devotion emerged in her late thirties, when she suffered from chronic fatigue. (Or maybe it was actually seeded in her late twenties, when she had a spiritual awakening, which later helped her to step up.)“I was unwell. I felt tired all the time. Doctors di...

Jacob Nordangård used to be an enthusiastic member of the environmentalist movement. Always inquisitive, he began looking into its origins. To his surprise, not to say dismay, he found that much of the green agenda, including the climate change narrative, had been developed by global elites – organizations, associations and large corporations, even Big Oil.“The environmental movement I was a part...

In the midst of a spiritual ceremony in the fall of 1996, Sten Linnander had a deeply transforming experience: The Earth made contact with him. As Sten heard a voice, he could see the planet in all her beauty, as if from space. He was instructed to go up on a mountain in Phoenix, Arizona, to continue the communication.“I hesitated. I am no Moses. But the voice came back. I was asked to come back t...

As far as research of the non-physical world is concerned, Simon Duan should have quite a bit of credibility. He began his career in a robustly materialist environment. He has a PhD in materials science from Cambridge university and worked for many years with technology commercialisation. Then he had a paranormal experience at a dentist and began exploring what lies behind the material world. Simo...

Marjorie Woollacott was a scientist with a materialist worldview when she, in her 30s, had a spiritually transformative experience. Her heart opened. There was a feeling of total peace and equanimity. She felt at home. After the experience, Woollacott gradually reoriented her research and teaching in physiology and neuroscience towards the nonphysical human experience. Many of her 200 peer reviewe...

( Note correction at the end ) Isaac Rodriguez discovered, to his big surprise, that mainstream astrologers never really look up at the sky. As John Lash explained in an earlier episode , tropical (mainstream) astrology isn’t really about the stars. The signs are merely named after star constellations that approximately corresponded with the sectors of the signs a few thousand years ago. Isaac Rod...

When French filmmaker Anthony Chene first came across a story about a near death experience it clicked. It immediately made sense to him, even though he didn’t grow up in a spiritual home. He wasn’t even sure what a psychic was. But NDEs seemed right.“Yes, it was this world that didn’t make sense. I was in finance, but I barely made any money. I didn’t fit anywhere”, Anthony says.“The idea that th...

Apologies for a technical mishap at the 19:12 mark. I had to switch to a suboptimal camera and mic. But James looks and sounds fine the whole time, which is the most important thing. Writer, artist and thinker James Tunney is in the classical sense erudite. I have had very few guests, if any, who so effortlessly covers every historical, philosophical and spiritual aspect of the evolution of mankin...

Like most people, writer and filmmaker Jack Kelley thought Plato’s account of Atlantis was just an allegory when he, during a vacation on the Greek island of Santorini, was drawn into a world of research that takes the Platonic story seriously. Even in that world, however, there are diverging opinions about the location of the lost civilization. Jack came across the work of Greek engineer and ling...
