Letting Go of Letting Go with Peter Russell (4K Reboot)

New Thinking AllowedOct 20, 2026

Meditation teacher Peter Russell, who has taught for about 50 years, argues that letting go is not about getting rid of uncomfortable feelings but about letting them in and letting them be. In conversation with Jeffrey Mishlove, he explains how the 'ego mind' keeps us trapped in insistent thinking, and how simply asking 'could there be another way of seeing this?' can shift our perception. He also describes his blend of effortless Transcendental Meditation and Vipassana mindfulness, which he jokingly calls 'Transcendental Vipassana', as a path back to the unchanging 'I am' sense of self.

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.

Postmortem Survival and the Physical Universe with Ruth Kastner (4K Reboot)

New Thinking AllowedAug 23, 2026

Philosopher of physics Ruth Kastner joins Jeffrey Mishlove to ask whether quantum theory leaves room for consciousness to survive bodily death. She rejects Einstein's 'block universe' consolation and argues instead for a quantum substratum, a real domain of possibility outside space-time from which physical events emerge. In her view, most of reality lies beyond space-time, which opens the door to mental or spiritual dimensions and to postmortem survival.

The Afterlife and the Unconscious with Betty Kovács (4K Reboot)

New Thinking AllowedAug 18, 2026

Dr. Betty Kovács, author of The Miracle of Death, describes detailed after-death communications with her son Pishti and her husband Istvan, both of whom died in car accidents two years apart. She argues that the afterlife is not a distant place but a dimension of one universal mind that is always present, which we normally shut out through what Aldous Huxley called a mental 'valve.' Along the way she recounts shamanic visions, a cosmic feminine being named Saira, and an encounter with a glowing disc of consciousness that declared, 'Your planet has called us and we are here.'
