Life in Afterlife with Stafford Betty (4K Reboot)
New Thinking AllowedAug 27, 2026
Religion professor Stafford Betty discusses his novel The Afterlife Therapist, a fictional journey through the afterlife built on decades of research into spirit communications received through mediums. He describes an astral world much like our own, where the newly dead take on youthful bodies, choose unpaid work, and grow spiritually, while earthbound spirits and self-made shadow realms trap those bound by addiction. The conversation ranges from rescuing Henry VIII from a 500-year imaginary kingdom to competing souls choosing reincarnation and saints visiting from higher heavens.
”Resist Not Evil” with Paul Chek
New Thinking AllowedAug 17, 2026
Former U.S. Army boxer turned holistic health educator Paul Chek joins Jeffrey Mishlove to explore what Jesus meant by "resist not evil" and "love your enemy." Drawing on a violent childhood, a career-ending knockout he delivered, and decades of spiritual practice, Chek argues that only wounded people wound others and that evil is best understood as "God asleep." Along the way he touches on Rudolf Steiner's adversarial forces Ahriman and Lucifer, a conversation with his own soul calling Earth "kindergarten through third grade for souls," his remote viewing and out-of-body experiences, and psychedelic plant medicine healing.
