Consciousness, Resonance, and Vibration with Tamlyn Hunt

New Thinking AllowedOct 12, 2026

Attorney and philosopher Tam Hunt explains the General Resonance Theory of Consciousness, co-developed with UC Santa Barbara psychologist Jonathan Schooler, which proposes that everything vibrates, everything has a tiny spark of awareness, and shared resonance combines these sparks into higher consciousness. He describes random number generator experiments run at Burning Man by Dean Radin's team that reportedly found crowd events skewed the machines' outputs, results that were never published. Hunt also reflects on growing up among hippies, his time in a commune called the Love Family, his LSD experiences while in the Army, and why he believes the hippies were right about vibrations and interconnectedness.

Gem dealer and author Robert Simmons tells psychologist Jeffrey Mishlove how a meditation with Moldavite, a green glass formed by a meteor impact, opened his chakras and turned him from a skeptic into a believer in stone energies. He links this to Jungian spiritual alchemy, the Emerald Tablet, the Holy Grail legend, and panpsychism. He also recounts a story in which a channeled angelic group called the Azez reportedly borrowed his missing phenakite stone and returned it, along with a new stone called Azeztulite.

Varieties of Consciousness Theories with Robert Lawrence Kuhn

New Thinking AllowedAug 13, 2026

Robert Lawrence Kuhn, creator of PBS's Closer to Truth, explains how he built the Landscape of Consciousness, a sweeping map of more than 400 competing theories ranging from hardcore materialism to idealism. He recounts his early ties to parapsychology pioneer J.B. Rhine, a childhood terror that turned out to be the question 'why is there anything at all?', and his fight to keep parapsychology and religious views of the soul in a peer-reviewed science journal. Kuhn argues that questions like life after death, free will, and AI consciousness cannot be answered without first choosing a theory of consciousness, and he admits he leans toward a blend of dualism and idealism.
