    #24 – Reincarnation Pt. V

    Today is the final entry in our coverage of Life Before Life. We start the show talking about near-death experiences and mediums as other indicators that the spirit can exist independent of the body. We talk about the scientific idea of consilience and how it’s a double-edged sword that helps and hurts science in different situations. Can reincarnation ever be consilient with science? The second segment is full of tangents like simulation theory, the Tall el-Hammam discovery and the Carolina Bays. We move on to cover some various objections to reincarnation like population size, religious objections and Alzheimer’s disease. We finally move on to the end of the book where Jim B. Tucker covers speculations and questions based on the research. Does everyone reincarnate? If so, what is actually reincarnating? Do people have a choice in when and where they reincarnate? Is reincarnation a fulfilment of karma? We finish the book with advice for parents on how to handle the situation if your child starts talking about a past life. This has been a fun journey that has changed our views on the topic. We hope you enjoy it!

    Alfred Wegener (above) came up with the idea of plate tectonics which was not consilient with the scientific worldview of his day. It wasn’t until after his death that more evidence was gathered to confirm his view and science finally accepted plate tectonics.Ignaz Semmelweis (below) proposed that doctors wash their hands before delivering babies to prevent postpartum infection which was a serious issue in his day. He was shunned and ridiculed and eventually had a nervous breakdown that led him to be committed to an asylum.







    Tall el-Hammam was found to have evidence of an airburst that destroyed the city. It is thought to be the site of the biblical city of Sodom.This paper in Nature published by some of the members of the Comet Research Group explains the evidence.This is the link to the Tall el-Hammam Excavation Project.

    #23 – Reincarnation Pt. IV

    In todays episode we continue the coverage of Life After Life by Jim B Tucker, M.D. Before the book we talk about the new announcement out of OpenAI of Chat GPT-4o. Dean talks about the Rizwan Virk episode on Joe Rogan and his particular brand of simulation theory. We discuss the recent CME and geomagnetic storm and the incredible aurora that it produced as how it may have been as strong as the Carrington Event. Afterwards we hop into the book and discuss numerous cases that are themed around recognizing faces and cases that remember the time between lives. Why do some children seem to recall the funeral and burials of the previous personalities while others don’t? Join us for another fascinating adventure into reincarnation!

    #22 – Reincarnation Pt. III

    This week’s episode continues on the topic of reincarnation as we keep digging through “Life Before Life.” We start off talking more about Dorothy Eady. We continue into Tucker’s analysis of reincarnation birthmark cases. We continue into more cases which include cases of deep emotional impact, cases with written records, cases displaying unacquired tastes and others that include twins. At some point we also talk about past life regressions and why the author didn’t include the practice in his study. If these cases don’t seem like enough, just wait, we’ll be back with more reincarnation cases next week. Enjoy!

    #21 – Reincarnation Pt. II

    Here’s the second entry in our coverage of Life After Life. Today we start the show with an intriguing pyramid construction theory. We talk about a couple other interest news items as well before going into the book. We cover various reincarnation cases that have birthmarks matching the previous personality’s wounds. Dean confesses to his bad memory and confusion about Ian Stevenson. We cover some interesting theories on how the birthmarks cases might work. We also talk about the practice of experimental birthmarks and cover some cases that include examples. We spend time on the idea of consciousness affecting the body and how that might work. Hopefully you aren’t sick of reincarnation yet because there’s a lot more to come!Topics include dark matter and dark energy. We spend some time talking about the mysteries of gravity, quantum physics and the theories that try to combine them together into a grand “theory of everything.” We talk about consciousness, teleportation and reincarnation. We have fun trying out some different illusions to show how crazy the brain is. We compare hard sciences to soft sciences and then discuss fields like psychology and egyptology. We lament over all the deliberately destroyed knowledge. We round out the episode discussing the Younger Dryas Impact Hypothesis and the replication crisis in science.

    #20 – Reincarnation Pt. I

    Today’s episode is all about reincarnation. Dean shares what he’s been reading in Jim B Tucker MD’s book ‘Life After Life’. Jim worked with the reincarnation research OG, Ian Stevenson. We discuss multiple cases as well as the scientific study of reincarnation. We discuss the most common features reported in reincarnation cases. Drew relates the tale of Dorothy Eady who believed that she had a previous life as an Egyptian priestess. We spend some tie focused on the biggest phenomena associated with reincarnation which has to be the past life statements that many children make. They also tend to exhibit strange behaviors that seem to be best explained by reincarnation. In his studies, Dr. Tucker has established certain criteria that a case must meet to be included in their database which includes over 2500 cases. We zoom in on the rather unremarkable case of Abby Swanson who only made a few statements, only one time, and only to her mother alone. The case is a great tool to use to then go into the various normal and paranormal explanations for these cases. We go over a couple more cases and also play a bit of the Why Files reincarnation video. Enjoy this episode as the first in a series on reincarnation!Topics include dark matter and dark energy. We spend some time talking about the mysteries of gravity, quantum physics and the theories that try to combine them together into a grand “theory of everything.” We talk about consciousness, teleportation and reincarnation. We have fun trying out some different illusions to show how crazy the brain is. We compare hard sciences to soft sciences and then discuss fields like psychology and egyptology. We lament over all the deliberately destroyed knowledge. We round out the episode discussing the Younger Dryas Impact Hypothesis and the replication crisis in science.

Ian Stevenson didn’t have a book about near death experiences where he talks about himself dying. That was actually from a book called Proof of Heaven by Eben Alexander. Sorry for the confusion!

    #19 – Secret History of the World Part V

    Part V of Secret History is here today. Before we get into it, Drew brings up a couple of interesting news items then we read a comment from YouTube. The commenter points out a core Flint Dibble point that we missed on our last episode and we spend the whole first segment discussing it. When we come back we have a nice topic transition into Secret History where today’s chapter covers Atlantis and the Noah’s ark story along with other stories that are related. There’s a lot of discussion about the Richat Structure and the Azores as possible locations for Atlantis. We also discuss the sunken temples of Mahabalipuram. We linger on a quote from the book that everything you see will pass to dust, but that you have seen it will not. We discuss interpretations of the quote. We spend the last chunk speculating on possibilities for the lost civilization and how they could have been more advanced in ways we don’t necessarily expect. Enjoy the ride!Topics include dark matter and dark energy. We spend some time talking about the mysteries of gravity, quantum physics and the theories that try to combine them together into a grand “theory of everything.” We talk about consciousness, teleportation and reincarnation. We have fun trying out some different illusions to show how crazy the brain is. We compare hard sciences to soft sciences and then discuss fields like psychology and egyptology.

My Go-To Podcast Right Now

I’ve been looking for a new podcast to listen to and found Duality Check.

Every episode I’ve learned a ton about something I didn’t know anything about before. It’s both entertaining and educational.

The two hosts Dean and Drew have some great banter and have me cracking up often.

I would highly recommend you check out Duality Check!
