Multidimensional Evolution Kim McCaul

My guest today is Gary Moody, mediumship apprentice, spirit artist and anthropologist. All of these attributes are combined in Gary’s anthropological research which is focused on his own development as a medium within a global spiritualist community. One of the things that fascinates me is the way non-physical consciousnesses interact with physical consciousnesses, the way we perceive and are influenced by them and how this process changes as we make it more conscious. This is a topic Gary is exploring in his own body and mind and provides some practical insights about. One of the guiding principles of this podcast is that of disbelief - don’t believe in anything, experiment, have your own experiences. One of the interesting things about Gary’s approach is that despite having many experiences some of us - myself included - would interpret as interactions with non-physical consciousness, he maintains a scientifically admirable ambiguous attitude, at once open to the possibility that spirits are real, while allowing for the possibility that our experiences of them arise from deep psychological material. Ultimately Gary’s focus is on how we can improve people’s well-being and mental health rather than the reality of the experiences. We eventually turn to questions about studying mediumship including spirit art in an academic context with Gary introducing several academic fraemworks applied to the study of mediumship

Today I am speaking with two engaging and insightful medical professionals from Brazil, the sisters Fernanda and Marianna Schveitzer. We talk about their book Self-Care: A dynamic approach to integral health. Fernanda is a physician specialised in occupational medicine. Marianna is a nurse and university lecturer with a PhD in Science and post-doctorate from the school of nursing at the University of São Paulo.

Anybody who has dealt with health issues know that health is a fundamental pillar of being able to live a joyful and productive life. If we want to complete our life mission, it helps us to be in good health.

So in this conversation I explore some of the key aspects of the integral health model that Fernanda and Marianna have developed and that includes many practical ideas we can all put into practice. We also discuss some broad picture questions about the tension between personal health needs and universal systems and how physical and non-physical factors come together in health.



If you find this topic interesting and would like a chance to go more in depth and connect with Fernanda and Marianna you can join our book club in which we are reading their book. We meet once every month until June 2024 and you are welcome to join at any time. The easiest way is to join the WhatsApp group of the club using this link https://chat.whatsapp.com/KxwYh7nEFlo7YHcdla8jBY

Understanding our Past lives can profoundly change the trajectory of our personal evolution. When we start to realise that our actions and attributes in past lives influence our manifestations and experiences now, it helps us shift our perspective from one stuck in a single human existence to that of an immortal consciousness going through a series of related human lives.

I know many people who have identified some past existences in general terms. A fisherman in medieval Greece, a Native American fighting against the colonisers, a maid in Japan many centuries ago and so on. It seems much rarer for people to be able to study in detail a precise personality who is them expressed in a former human being. For this reason I am delighted to be having this conversation today with someone who has been able to do just that.

The name of my guest is Dr Giuliana Costa. Giuliana is a geologist based in Johannesburg South Africa and works in the mining sector. Relevant to this conversation she has been exploring her own consciousness through the lens of conscientiology since 2010. As well as the book that we are discussing today, Autobiography of a consecutive personality, Giuliana has written a number of entries for the encyclopaedia of conscientiology, including on topics such as slavery and genocide that as you will discover are quite significant to her past life.

My guest today, Jörn Schmidt, is the coordinator of Extracons, a research organisation that focuses on the study of ET consciousness through the consciential paradigm, I.e. a paradigm that centres consciousness rather than matter and treats consciousness as a multidimensionally manifesting intelligence.

The study of extraterrestrial consciousness is a fringe field within the fringe that is experiential consciousness research. Most people who pursue OBEs or mediumistic communication with non-physical people do so to connect with deceased loved ones. ETs seem literally “alien” to us, like complete incomprehensible strangers. Why would we want to connect with them out of the body? This is one of the questions I discuss with Jörn. A side effect of the fringe nature of this phenomenon is that not many people share their experiences. In fact, in reviewing my book I was reminded that I had censored myself and not included all the phenomena I experienced, because I did not understand them and thought they might sound too fantastical. Which given some of the other fantastical things I talk about in my book is saying something! One of the points Jörn makes is that it is important for us to share our experiences. That is the only way we can develop the kind of data set necessary to deepen our studies and understandings.

I invited today’s guest, Alexandre Zaslavsky, because he regularly publishes and speaks about the question of science in the kind of self-applied consciousness research that conscientiology promotes, or for that matter any other discipline promotes that purports to explore states of consciousness or bioenergy in a scientific way. Yoga for example has called itself a science of consciousness ever since it was introduced to the Western world in the late 19th century.

So the question is, how do we apply scientific principles to what are ostensibly subjective, intra-psychic experiences? Over the years I have noticed in myself a definite resistance every time I hear people refer to conscientiology and projectiology (or Yoga) as “science”. Is it appropriate to call something science that is not based on any objective evidence? And that does not even attempt to establish such evidence? Sure, if you have had out-of-body experiences you can have evidence for yourself. But this is not something you can demonstrate to anybody else. Does science not demand us to provide objective evidence? I think this is a common understanding we have of science, and although I know that science is not necessarily about evidence, but about models, hypotheses and refutation, I am also influenced by this popular image of it. So I really appreciated the opportunity to explore these issues with Alexandre. Topics we talk about include the role of experiments in our own personal evolution and what distinguishes experiments from experiences, the role of consciential laboratories and what it means to make our life a laboratory of our own existence, and ultimately of course whether it is appropriate to call conscientiology a science. I hope you enjoy the conversation.

In August 2022 I visited the Embassy of the Free Mind in Amsterdam. I had discovered it accidentally when looking around the city on Google Maps. The name immediately intrigued me and once I discovered that it consists of a museum and library focused on the history of alchemy and other alternative North African and European spiritual schools and freedom of thought I knew I’d be spending some time there.

The Embassy and its invaluable library are the result of the private initiative of a Dutch businessman Joost Ritman who was inspired in his interests in spirituality by the writings of a German mystic and scholar Jacob Böhme. My interviewee Dr Lucinda Martin describes Böhme as the most important thinker that you have never heard of and and by the time Lucinda has outlined his influences across the ages you may be just an incredulous as me that you never heard of him. Lucinda is the Director of the Ritman Research Institute and Bibliotheca Philosophica Hermetica, the core collection of rare books and manuscripts held at the Embassy. Originally from the US, she has worked for over 20 years in European universities and research institutions. Her books and articles focus on religious dissidence, especially the contributions of these thinkers to modern human rights.  Lucinda is both eloquent and passionate and offers an excellent introduction to some of the key holdings of the library at the Embassy.
