Topic: Noetic

One of the guests recounts a week-long stay at the Monroe Institute to study remote viewing and noetic skills. The experience is described as underwhelming, with criticisms of the accommodations and the suggestion that the institute uses influencers for PR campaigns. The segment mentions the presence of military generals and CIA-linked individuals like Joseph McMoneagle at the facility.

Gober highlights the existence of a large body of peer-reviewed research supporting psychic phenomena, which is often ignored by the mainstream. He mentions the Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS) and a 2018 paper by Dr. Edsel Cardena in the American Psychological Association journal. He describes the institutional pressure to reject papers that challenge physicalism, regardless of scientific quality.

Dr. Helane Wahbe, Director of Research at the Institute of Noetic Sciences and adjunct professor at Oregon Health & Science University, joins the program to discuss her book, The Science of Channeling. The introduction highlights her academic background in anthropology and clinical research alongside her peer-reviewed publications.

Dr. Wahbe provides an overview of current projects at the Institute of Noetic Sciences, including the Noetic Signature inventory and studies on lucid dreaming. The organization is also developing measurement devices for "Big C" consciousness with the help of Pixar co-founder Loren Carpenter.

Dr. Wahbe directs listeners to noetic.org for free webinars, blogs, and peer-reviewed publications. She concludes by encouraging people to "come out of the channeling closet" and use her book as a resource for integrating these phenomena into daily life.

During a 2012 lecture by Colin Andrews in Phoenix, Grant Cameron experienced what he describes as an instantaneous "download" or noetic experience. While Andrews discussed how 80% of crop circles might be "hoaxed" by people receiving mental prompts from an external intelligence, Cameron felt a sudden, absolute certainty about the nature of reality. This event shifted his research focus entirely toward "contact modalities" and the primacy of consciousness.

Dr. Greer discusses his relationship with Apollo 14 astronaut Edgar Mitchell and their shared interest in the science of consciousness. He recounts a successful 1992 contact event in Pensacola, Florida, which resulted in a photographed UFO sighting and subsequent interest from intelligence community "white hats." He emphasizes that the CE-5 protocols are a spiritual and healing experience for those who practice them.

Dr. Dean Radin, Chief Scientist at the Institute of Noetic Sciences, joins the program to discuss his latest book, Real Magic: Ancient Wisdom, Modern Science and a Guide to the Secret Power of the Universe. Radin has held appointments at AT&T Bell Labs, Princeton University, and SRI International, authoring over 250 articles on parapsychology. The conversation introduces his background in consciousness research and his efforts to bridge the gap between academic science and esoteric traditions.
