The Most Controversial Biologist Alive Breaks Down Telepathy

American AlchemyOct 31, 2026

Biologist Rupert Sheldrake argues that nature is shaped by invisible 'morphic fields' carrying a collective memory, which he believes can explain everything from how spiders know how to spin webs to telepathy between mothers and babies. He walks through experiments on dogs that know when their owners are coming home, the sense of being stared at, waking just before alarms, and rats that learned mazes faster across unrelated populations. The conversation also ranges into conscious plasma and a possibly conscious sun, the physics of angels, David Bohm's banished physics, and why mainstream science refuses to look at the evidence.

Richard Silberstein: Stranger & Stranger

Earth AncientsOct 14, 2026

Former Australian neuroscience professor Dr. Richard Silberstein argues that decades of replicated parapsychology research show consciousness is not produced by the brain but is fundamental to reality. Drawing on his new book 'Stranger and Stranger: The Neuroscience of How Mind and Cosmos Communicate,' he discusses precognition, remote viewing, and the claim that focused intention can shape the future. He also suggests the brain acts as a filter on psychic perception, and that weakening this filter may enhance psi abilities.

Neuroscientist Breaks Silence on Psychic Testing - Dr. Julia Mossbridge | ep. 99

AREA52 Podcast (Chris Ramsay)Aug 14, 2026

Cognitive neuroscientist Dr. Julia Mossbridge describes her childhood in a gifted program called SOAR, which she believes involved covert testing, memory gaps, and later-redacted school records, possibly tied to a government psychic research effort. She lays out her theory of an 'informational substrate' rooted in unconditional love, and shares experiments suggesting that people who feel unconditional love score better at precognitive remote viewing. Host Chris Ramsay recounts his own waking out-of-body experiences after training at the Monroe Institute, and the pair discuss presentiment, time travel, synesthesia, telepathy in non-speaking autistic people, and the mental side of the UAP phenomenon.
