New Show: MindMatters (RIP Truth Perspective)

Ever feel like your understanding of the Bigfoot phenomena is woefully incomplete? Saddened that attention to this hairy cryptid doesn't get the attention that is its due? Wonder when someone - anyone - will tie in the Sasquatches with observable accompanying paranormal phenomena - and link that to our understanding of cutting edge physics in a reasonable and rigorous way? Your wait is over!;-)

MindMatters: Dark Matter Monsters and the Sociology of the Paranormal with Dr. Simeon Hein





Thanks for this interview!

I'm a little over halfway through listening to it, and I'm impressed by Hein's "adult", balanced and calm way of presenting/explaining things on such extraordinary topics. I have to admit that I'd never heard of him before but now I'm really tempted to by his latest book! :-)
 
I've now started reading 'Dark Matter Monsters', and I'm enjoying it. However, some of Hein's claims of successful experiments appear almost too wild and astonishing: scientific studies with cold fusion 'ball lightnings', coherent matter that does paranormal things etc. In most cases he cites some researcher's/inventor's study/experiment or a patent. So, I'm just wondering, Ark and others who are trained to research this stuff, is there really all this amazing and groundbreaking stuff that is scientifically documented? E.g. Matsumoto and a bunch of other researchers he's referencing, is their rearch really legit?

I'd be happy to read those studies myself, but I'm afraid that I wouldn't understand much of the 'quantum physics' and mathematics in those papers.
 
We had the chance to speak with researcher David Abramowitz once more - who himself came to AI with the idea of drawing attention to a very illustrative form of classification - for the many ways in which pathologies are demonstrated by 'wokism'.

While the subject matter itself is hardly new to us, it seems quite useful to note, also (and yet again), just how many issues wokists, wittingly or unwittingly, get deployed upon for enforcing the culturally-Marxist-globalist agenda. And I'm sure we've left out a few too!

MindMatters: The Woke Psychopathology Taxonomy with David Abramowitz


David Abramowitz joins us once again, this time to discuss Michael Shellenberger and Peter Boghossian's Taxonomy of Woke Psychopathology. With Andrew Lobaczewski's Political Ponerology as inspiration, the taxonomy summarizes how certain Woke topics and causes express Cluster B personality disorder dynamics. While the topics themselves may not be pathological, the manner in which they're presented is, expressing such features as attention-seeking, grandiosity, emotional dysregulation, excess and lack of empathy, victimhood ideology, impaired reality testing, and splitting.

Join us as we take a broader look at political causes, the pathocratic function of ideology, and its role in creating a worldview that makes sense to the Cluster B personality. Pathocratic personalities then attempt to force everyone else to conform to the world they have created.

 
Harrison had a chance to speak to a guest who's coming to the question of ET from a very different perspective:

MindMatters: It's Full of Life: Philosophy of ET with Andrew Davis


Astrophilosophy. Exotheology. Whitehead.

Andrew Davis is the program director for the Center for Process Studies. A philosopher and theologian, his latest work is on the metaphysics of exo-life. Today on MindMatters we discuss his work on science, religion, and what the impact of the discovery of ET life would mean for philosophy, and a general philosophical framework that would make sense of it.

We also discuss the opening up of public and academic interest in the topic of UFOs and non-human intelligences, David Ray Griffin's work and parapsychology, humans as an exemplification of what the universe does, the morphological and ontological templates that life may take elsewhere, the ontology of possibilities, shared commonalities that might allow for communication with ET forms of life, the mind of God, and more.

 
We’ve had few guests who are as erudite, clued-in and open-minded as Arthur Versluis. And I’m really, really, really (really) ;-) hoping that his book American Gnosis, becomes available in soft cover (sooner rather than later) so that whoever finds this material interesting can get their hands on it and soak up what he’s saying. For now though, enjoy the discussion; we have so enjoyed reading, speaking with, and listening to this guy! As Arthur says at the end of the interview: “These things are worth exploring.’ And we wholeheartedly agree.

MindMatters: Arthur Versluis: The Neo-Gnostics vs. Pathocracy


Neo-gnosticism without Gnosis. Gnosis without neo-gnosticism. These are just a couple of the frameworks, dichotomies, and strains of gnosticism making their way into the religious, social, and political consciousness and conversation of today's world through literature, film, and other media. In this follow-up discussion with author and scholar Arthur Versluis, we continue our discussion on his Oxford University Press-published book 'American Gnosis: Political Religion And Transcendence.' We further delve into the profound influence and divergences of an ancient set of spiritual beliefs - made all the more relevant for their lasting power and pervasiveness in so much of what we're observing on the world stage. (Part I of this discussion is here.)

This week on MindMatters we further examine the spectrum of gnosis, contemporary misconceptions about its tenets, as well as how the political dissidents of today could become the inquisitional forces of tomorrow. If pathocracy, extreme materialism, radical leftism and communism are the 'enemies' of gnosticism, then what, if anything, can gnosticism tell us about a way forward in an increasingly complicated world?

MindMatters: Arthur Versluis: The Neo-Gnostics vs. Pathocracy





This was a very interesting episode, thanks!

At one point, Elan talked about how people are drawn to certain universal (positive) truths, Arthur Versluis then continued with a quote from one his books (Perennial Philosophy): ”some things are just true, and if they are true, people are going to find them”.

I thought it was quite a profound way to put it. He went on how it is thought that there are random truths (”my truths”) floating around, but it doesn’t work that way, there are indeed ”true” truths out there.

I was reminded of an interview with Jordan Peterson from years ago. In it, he mentioned that when the listeners to his early lectures gave him input afterwards, the common theme was that ”deep down they already knew about the ideas being presented, but now they were brought to the foreground”. (Or something to that effect, I couldn’t find the exact quote.)


An afterthought: I guess a person who is pathological beyond the "point of no return", wouldn't be able to recognise and have a pull towards these truths.
 
We greatly enjoyed speaking to Colin and reading his short, concise, and very well written book on Shadow Work. At points in reading it I actually wondered if he had read some of the best threads we have here about psychological, emotional and spiritual well being, and just decided to write a short synopsis for some of the most well proven ways one could detoxify, heal and be healthier and better functioning as a result. Enjoy the show:

MindMatters: Transforming Darkness: Shadow Work and Pathocracy with Colin E. Davis


So you've been 'red pilled'. You're well versed in false flags, deep states, secret governments, and state-sponsored assassinations. You've watched documentaries about stolen elections, the New World Order, child trafficking, and mind control. And then when you were through with those, you read extensively on the criminal acts of intelligence agencies, psychopathy among the elite, exotic weapons, and more.

And now you simply know, in your bones, that the reality presented to you on CNN (and most other places) is total B.S. - and have the hours and days of sleepless nights, shocked reactions and chills running down your spine to prove it. But, perhaps, no one ever told you how to assimilate such life-changing information. And, perhaps, no one ever guided your expanded insight of how the world really works - with an equally expanded insight into how you really work. (Or, if you have experienced it, you can stand to have a few reminders!)

This week on MindMatters we are joined by writer and researcher Colin E. Davis whose new book, Transforming Darkness: A Shadow Work Toolkit for the Red Pilled Initiate addresses just such issues. Using Jung's idea of the Shadow, or the dark side that exists in all of us, Davis not only provides a survey of works describing how this darkness comes to be and is manifested in the world, but also provides references to some of the best modalities that aid in addressing them. Understanding the world we truly live in is a most worthy pursuit, but the balance required to see ourselves as we truly are, and as we live a 'Red Pilled' life, is no less crucial.


 
That was excellent. Towards the end I had a thought; I like a certain type of show which has become pretty formulaic. The detective shows where you have a really good detective who's like a dog with a bone once they're on a case, usually a murder case. They become so obsessed about it that they invariably start doing things that cause them to run afoul of the Police Chief, usually culminating in their having to relinquish their gun and badge at some point in the show. If the writers are good, there's always a compelling back story to the past of the detective in question. Some unresolved past trauma that makes them the way they are.

Anyway, thought that might serve as an example of what was being discussed. Great work, thanks!
 
Excellent interview! I have to admit that when Colin told about his background, how he started as a heavy metal musician, the ‘predator’ in me thought “Meh, what could this dude have to say that is of value?” And, what makes this more ridiculous is that I’m a musician myself!:scared:

Anyways, Colin proved me wrong big time. His musings were of great value, and I will get his book for sure. :-)

Fun bit of trivia: apparently metal fans have a lot in common with classical fans, psychologically.
