German New Medicine (GNM), founded by Dr. Ryke Geerd Hamer, posits that physical illnesses like cancer are biological programs triggered by unresolved psychological trauma. Hamer developed this theory after his son’s tragic death was followed by his own testicular cancer diagnosis. The system, which shares similarities with the work of Dr. Gabor Maté, suggests that the psyche "kicks" unprocessed trauma to the body to complete a healing process, viewing symptoms as adaptations rather than malfunctions.

A discussion on why professionals like pilots often suppress reports of strange sightings to avoid psychological evaluations and job loss leads to a personal revelation.

These items are intended to enhance the wearer's psyche and allow them to interact with the world on their own terms.

Dreaming serves as a critical mechanism for processing and collating memories from the previous day into the long-term psyche.

Dr. Miller explains why he utilizes the Greek Pantheon over Egyptian gods to identify dominating archetypes in a person's life.

By identifying which gods are active in a person's psyche, Miller claims one can better project future outcomes.

Chris Knowles argues that human nature remains unchanged despite technological shifts, as the psyche continuously recycles the same ancient archetypes. He expresses skepticism toward transhumanism, labeling it as pseudoscience and hype. Knowles further suggests that ancient civilizations were more technologically advanced than commonly believed, possessing steam engines and sophisticated information storage systems while maintaining higher cognitive functions than modern humans.
