Time Traveling UFOs, Lost Alchemy Secrets & The Physics of Seeing the Future | Dr. Eric Wargo

Third Eye DropsOct 25, 2026

Anthropologist Eric Wargo argues that the future can influence the present through retrocausation, offering a single mechanism for precognitive dreams, synchronicities, and even out-of-body experiences. He suggests some 17th-century alchemical texts were coded lucid dreaming manuals, while others may have hidden technological trade secrets such as an early form of photography, much as he believes today's UFO discourse is used as a smokescreen by military and intelligence interests. The conversation closes with Wargo's case that UFOs could be time-traveling human descendants who colonized the galaxy in the deep past.

The Esoteric Secret Behind UFOs: From Plato’s Cave to the Pentagon

Third Eye DropsOct 20, 2026

This episode argues that UFOs may be better understood through ancient esoteric philosophy than through modern materialism, using Plato's Cave as a framework for seeing sightings as shadows of a deeper reality. It traces luminous entity encounters from Neoplatonic theurgists like Iamblichus and Proclus to modern researchers like J. Allen Hynek, Jacques Vallée, and John Keel, who concluded the phenomenon is shape-shifting and psychic. It then points to defense and intelligence insiders, from Lockheed executives to whistleblower Jake Barber's claims about psychic 'psionic assets', who appear to share this consciousness-based view.

Understanding Dante’s Inferno with Mark Booth

New Thinking AllowedSep 21, 2026

Author Mark Booth, who writes as Jonathan Black, argues that Dante Alighieri was an initiate of a secret esoteric tradition and that the Divine Comedy describes a real underground initiation ritual, probably beneath the streets of Florence. He traces this tradition from the ancient mystery schools of Greece and Rome through the Knights Templar, whose persecution Dante reportedly witnessed and condemned. Along the way he touches on Dante's occultist mentor Brunetto Latini, Sufi influences on the poem, and a claim that Pope John Paul II embraced occult teachings.

The Hidden Empire: Esoteric Physics, UFOs & Consciousness | Jason Samosa

Third Eye DropsSep 9, 2026

Researcher Jason Samosa argues that a private postwar network, the World Commerce Corporation, may be the real-world model for the shadowy Majestic-style 'Maynard Consortium' in Tom DeLonge's fiction, and that it absorbed Nazi money, industry and possibly advanced technology. He traces links from wartime intelligence chiefs and bankers through drug trafficking, the mafia and figures like Robert Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein, suggesting criminals rather than governments may control UFO secrets. The conversation then turns to occult technology, Prometheus mythology, theosophy inside Lockheed Martin, and the idea that consciousness itself is the true path to disclosure.

The Romance of Metaphysics with Emile Alexandrov

New Thinking AllowedAug 20, 2026

Philosopher Emil Alexandrov joins Jeffrey Mishlove to trace metaphysics from the pre-Socratics, Plato and Aristotle through the Neoplatonists, medieval thinkers, Kant and Schopenhauer. Alexandrov argues that every system of first principles responds to something fundamentally unknowable, which he calls the ineffable, and that ancient thinkers used ritual, poetry and theurgy to reach truths that reasoning alone cannot. He closes by suggesting that parapsychology could serve as an experimental branch of metaphysics, helping make sense of evidence that modern rationalism dismisses.
