Paratopia 055: Dr. Scott Lilienfeld

The late, great Dr. Scott Lilienfeld was a professor of psychology at Emory University and editor of Scientific Review of Mental Health Practice. He also co-authored 50 Great Myths of Popular Psychology and was a contributing blogger at Psychology Today. In what quickly became a controversial and landmark episode, Dr. Lilienfeld not only explored the myth that hypnosis is an appropriate memory retrieval tool for alien abduction research, he destroyed it.

In the process, he, along with The Jeff and The Jer, examined the Emma Woods/David Jacobs debacle that seemed every bit as surreal as the alien abduction stories in Jacobs's books. Was his behavior appropriate? Is this what happens when a man gets too absorbed in his own conclusions about the unknown? Hear Dr. Lilienfeld's initial impressions.

If you know of anyone who is thinking about undergoing hypnosis, please direct them here. This should be required listening for anyone who wants to undergo it or practice it.

Miracle of Death and The New

In this bonus episode we close out the season, fittingly enough, with death. We talk about egoic death a lot on this show, but what is physical death? Host Jeremy Vaeni received an answer from a dream and also from asking during kundalini meditation. The answer is simple and striking and this episode goes beyond that and gets deeply personal. Hopefully, for you as well!

Paratopia 054: Dr. Dan Hooper

Paratopia welcomes Dan Hooper to the show. Dr. Hooper is an Associate Scientist in the Theoretical Astrophysics Group at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, and an Assistant Professor in the Department of Astronomy and Astrophysics at the University of Chicago. Previously, he was the David Schramm Fellow at Fermilab, and a postdoc at the University of Oxford. He is the author of two books dealing with dark energy and super symmetry: Dark Cosmos and Nature's Blueprint. Tonight, Dr. Hooper makes physics as accessible and fascinating for us as he does for readers of his books--which is to say, QUITE.

Will Dr. Hooper be open to our questions of consciousness and the paranormal? Will this be the physics show Jeff has been searching for all his life? And what is Jeff doing back after we played a tiny violin for his two-month sabbatical? Clicky the linky and wonder no more!

Oh, and also using genetics for dating purposes. Nothing too scary.

Paratopia 053: Jeff’s Announcement

Jeff has an announcement to make about the short-term future of his involvement in Paratopia, which leads into a discussion of the toll studying the paranormal takes on one's life. Then we get into what it means to reconsider how we think, followed closely by laughs at the expense of people who do not.

Paratopia 052: Barbara Threecrow and The Kogi

Our special guest for the entire show is Barbara Threecrow, author of Mending The Hoop and her latest, Return of The Sacred Feminine & Teachings of The Grandmothers.

Listen to their inspiring story and learn how you can help.

Let’s Go EV Shopping!

A long-form sketch illustrating the pitfalls of shopping for that new electric vehicle gives way to a talk about how the mind cannot save itself from itself and move us into the future.

Paratopia 051: Christ Leask - OBE, Free Energy, and Time Travel

Chris Leask is a mechanical engineer who has spent the better part of 2 decades working on a free energy device that was given to him by an alien in a dream. And given to another man during an abduction. And to a third man during his contact experience. Three men, strangers to each other, all given pieces to this free energy device. The only question now is, Does it work?

And as amazing as all of that is, it's only one of the topics covered on this journey of an episode!
