    12 Psychic Factors and the Great Turning of 2026 | Episode 44

    Most (most!) people report having noetic experiences. Knowing who’s calling before you answer. Predictive dreams. Feeling someone’s presence. Gut feelings that turn out to be true. The Institute of Noetic Sciences was founded by Apollo 14 astronaut Edgar Mitchell, and it just released a study about twelve unique “noetic signatures” based on deep survey data from over four thousand people. Some of them know things in their bodies. Others get mental, emotional, or spiritual downloads. Everyone has a different signature. But what are the hazards of personal revelation without coherent social support? And what will happen to us if we keep replacing our latent human superpowers with technology? Still, we have high hopes for 2026. Maybe this is the year we heal from screen addictions. Maybe we’ll finally get some kind of blockbuster disclosure about non-human intelligences. Or maybe, if we all pull together, we can finally break free from the algorithm and move back into our enchanted world. Highlights: The Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS) was founded in 1973 by Apollo 14 astronaut Edgar Mitchell They study consciousness, human potential, and the intersection of science and subjective experience “Noetic” comes from Greek “noesis” meaning “inner knowing” that transcends the five senses and conventional notions of time and space (Examples: knowing who’s calling before caller ID, predictive dreams, feeling someone in the room, gut feelings that prove accurate) Most people report having these experiences, but they’re still stigmatized The Noetic Signature Inventory is a 44-item questionnaire measuring individual’s unique pattern of intuitive experience Four primary intuitive pathways: body-based (gut feelings), mental (sudden knowing), emotional (feeling into situations), spiritual (mystical experiences) Is “inner knowing” reliable without the support of a community? Why it’s so hard to balance social coherence against mystical experience Robin Lassiter said in the last episode that patriarchy and materialism might not have just been huge mistakes—we got amazing stuff from them, and now it’s time to turn the wheel In what ways are we trying to replace our noetic abilities with technology? Jordan abashedly hopes this is the year UFOs, NHIs, etc stop being laughed at on on CNN Mal hopes we heal from screen addiction (it’s actually possible!) Tom hopes we can free ourselves from the fetters of the algorithm and move back into an enchanted world The real magic is in interaction, intuition, knowing, and the gorgeous unpredictability of ourselves and each other And in the epilogue… How algorithms actually steal your personality A pretty MASSIVE decision about the future of the show Our first progress report on Jordan Crowder’s Law of Probability course *** SpectreVision Radio is a bespoke podcast network at the intersection between the arts and the uncanny, featuring a tapestry of shows exploring creativity, the esoteric, and the unknown.

    Self-Healing Roman Concrete and Probability Engineering with Jordan Crowder | Episode 43

    Roman concrete has been healing itself for thousands of years, surviving earthquakes, volcanoes, the ocean… As she’s actively recovering from surgery, Mal has lots of questions about self-healing. And also why her dad keeps telling her to use colloidal silver. Jordan Crowder has a lot to say about how the body heals, it turns out, having survived some major, life-threatening health crises himself. We ask him lots of questions, and he offers insights that synthesize science and spirituality in a way that is just exactly our vibe. Finally, we’re gonna hear about something he calls probability engineering. Your future is a probability cloud. Every decision collapses some outcomes and expands others. Agency is your power to project new pathways into your future that didn’t exist based on your past. But no, you can’t manifest a million dollars without becoming the kind of person who would have a million dollars. Change requires energy, and the universe resists it just like people do. We talk about how you can do it anyway. Welcome to 2026. Highlights: Jordan Crowder from Conscious Observers doubles the number of Jordans on today’s episode Mal shares a story about Roman concrete that survives earthquakes, volcanoes, and millennia under the sea because it literally heals itself over time The whole Nature Communications article is basically about a possible misreading of an ancient concrete recipe Why Mal is being drawn to things with “self-healing” in the title Her dad keeps trying to make her spray colloidal silver on her surgery wound The placebo effect works even when you know it’s a placebo Cellular communication How to help your body do what it’s spent millions of years evolving to do (hint: get out of the way) Thoughts create reality through quantum probability cloud engineering (an introduction to Jordan Crowder’s Law of Probability) Your future is not one predetermined path (obviously), it’s a cloud of potential outcomes You can project entirely new pathways into your future probability field that didn’t exist before based on your past Agency maxxing Getting a millions dollars (as a, ahem, for instance) probably means changing behaviors you’ve never changed before People generally don’t like to change—and neither does the universe, because change requires more energy Also/related: dumping a million dollars on a someone who isn’t ready for it is usually calamitous What is a Minimally Viable Manifestation? Ellen Langer says procrastination is not the problem, mindlessness is The real work is increasing awareness and “awakeness” to your decisions and choices Jordan and Mal commit to starting Jordan Crowder’s 21-day probability engineering course And in the epilogue… The overwhelming evidence of reincarnation overcomes Western skepticism Without humans, who would care about beauty? We’re not here just to collapse wave functions.

    42 | Universal Consciousness and the New Year

    A Norwegian physicist just published a peer-reviewed paper that mathematically describes consciousness as a fundamental field that existed before space and time. She proposes testable predictions—including the possibility that if consciousness differentiated itself into structured reality through something like universal thought, it might have left detectable patterns in the cosmic microwave background. This is ancient scripture overlapping with cutting-edge physics. “Thou Art That” from the Upanishads. “I AM that I AM” from Exodus. The earth was formless and void, then God said “Let there be light.” Consciousness precedes manifestation, thought is a collapse mechanism. Everything happens in cycles. We went out to do science in a universe of strict materialism, and now we’re coming back, changed, to the wisdom of mystery and consciousness. Finally, we talk to Robin Lassiter about her new Mystery School for the Brokenhearted. Here’s to the end of a fraught and beautiful 2025, and a 2026 which promises to be no less complicated. Highlights: Norwegian physicist published a peer-reviewed paper treating consciousness as a fundamental field rather than an emergent brain phenomenon Mathematical integration with quantum field theory Testable predictions involving quantum field interactions, neural coherence patterns, and cosmological signatures in the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) Tom connects this to the Chandogya Upanishad: “Thou Art That” The Abrahamic analog: “The earth was formless and void” (undifferentiated potential), “I AM that I AM” (consciousness preceding manifestation), “Let there be light” (universal thought as collapse mechanism) From 2nd century BCE scripture to modern testable mathematical physics of universal consciousness Everything goes in circles. Going out into the “billiard ball universe” of strict materialism, now we’re coming back around Robin on discovery through experience itself What is the relationship between us (personality, body, experience) and the unifying field? Evolution of grief in community The healing that can only happen in the presence of others The Mystery School for the Brokenhearted: the mutual capacity to hold grief without trying to fix or rescue What makes this era of human history unique Robin’s “big yes” to the ampersand universe *** SpectreVision Radio is a bespoke podcast network at the intersection between the arts and the uncanny, featuring a tapestry of shows exploring creativity, the esoteric, and the unknown.

    BONUS - Not Your Muppets Christmas Carol

    If you’ve got a quiet moment this week, here’s a thoughtful radio essay from Tom that explores the intersections of Victorian literature, social conscience, and what it means to truly connect with our fellows. Yes, it turns out we can be serious sometimes. Please try not to faint. In this piece, Tom tracks the circumstances that led Charles Dickens to write A Christmas Carol, from his disastrous American tour and the child labor reports that haunted him, to his compulsive night walks through London’s streets where he encountered the cast out and forgotten. Within this substrate, Tom weaves together Dickens’ personal struggles, the neuroscience of human connection, and an urgent message about what we’ve lost (and must reclaim) in our age of radical isolation and screen-mediated existence. Consider this our gift to you: a half-hour to slow down and remember that, “no one is useless in this world who lightens the burden of it for anyone else.” Truly, we wish you the very best of the season, and count you among our beloved fellows. Tom, Mal, & Jordan PS - For six years running, Jordan has been making compilations on Spotify called Hot Christmas. Here’s the latest.

    41 | Extended DMT Trips and Mini Mushroom People

    Let’s talk about drugs. This week we learned that some doctors have figured out how to make DMT trips last as long as you want. They can dial it up or down, or turn it off if things go south. And in the ultimate hack to do this legally, they formed an actual church, and they’re recruiting members for what they call “expeditions.” Their stated goals are to develop therapies, solve advanced problems, explore consciousness, and build something called “the Matrix Machine.” Probably a long shot, but maybe this is how we’ll find out who and what DMT aliens really are. And speaking of non-human entities: it turns out there’s a mushroom in China that makes pretty much everyone see itty bitty little people. And this thing has absolutely no relation to psilocybin, if you can believe it. In fact, it doesn’t contain a single psychoactive compound that we know about. So, once again, we’re left wondering if these are hallucinations, or…something else. Highlights: The Extended State DMT program (DMTX) has figured out how to stabilize and extend DMT experiences The International DMT Church Consistency of DMT experiences Jordan conjures a comically horrible mental image of people handcuffed to beds with IV drips, trapped in thousand-year experiences they can’t escape Are we exploring the architecture of the human mind, or accessing something external to ourselves? Most psychedelic insights are “just vibes” (Paul McCartney, for instance) A mushroom that makes 96% of people see tiny people or elves, often dancing, jumping, or marching (the story) Reports span Papua New Guinea, the Philippines, and a third-century Taoist text about a “flesh spirit mushroom” that lets you “see a little person” The mushroom is genetically closer to porcini than to psilocybin—contains NO known psychoactive compounds Chemical analyses reveal nothing Experiments on mice Does this explain why every culture throughout history has legends of fairies, elves, and sprites? Are the mushrooms making you hallucinate little people, or only allowing you to see the little people that are already there? (Picture a Lovecraftian world full of squirming horrors just outside our normal perception) Victorian art depicting sprites smoking pipes while sitting on mushrooms No epilogue this week. Blame the holidays. But also, if you’re not one of the handful of heroes with paid subscriptions — well, now you’ve got time to catch up, don’t you? godsghostsUFOs.com *** SpectreVision Radio is a bespoke podcast network at the intersection between the arts and the uncanny, featuring a tapestry of shows exploring creativity, the esoteric, and the unknown.

    40 | Mormon NDEs and the Afterlife

    What happens after we die? It’s one of the fundamental questions that drives all human interest in religion, philosophy, and science. But while it might not conform to strict materialism, we actually do have a huge body of evidence about what the so-called afterlife might look like. You’ve heard of near death experiences, but you might not know how rigorously they’ve been studied. There are thousands of documented cases that reveal remarkably consistent patterns. So that’s what’s up for today — NDEs, afterlife cosmologies, how the James Webb Space Telescope is breaking Big Bang theory, and what the handprint of God might look like to someone trying to build a religion. Oh, and a few hours before we started recording, I heard about Robert Monroe’s visit to the afterlife, so we talk about that, too. In other words, if you can only listen to one more podcast before you die, you could do worse than this one. Highlights: Growing up Mormon meant growing up with a rich afterlife cosmology NDE stories as religious confirmation bias Ancestors and experiences with people who’ve passed on People get too comfortable with their pictures of reality in both science AND religion Is the James Webb Space Telescope breaking the Big Bang theory? (that Kurzgesagt video) In every generation, you can find prominent scientists who say we’ve figured pretty much everything out, right before some major paradigm collapses Christian Wiman: “If you believe at 50 what you believed at 15, then you have not lived, or have denied the reality of your life” (from My Bright Abyss) The large and rigorously studied body of NDE evidence (Jeffrey Long’s work, in particular) What Robert Monroe saw in his trip to the afterlife (ht Jordan Crowder’s podcast, and Ultimate Journey) Hell as a lower-dimensional experience Can a higher-dimensional God manifest as a lower-dimensional being? Would that lower-dimension being not be God? Bad branding for universal consciousness Samuel Norton’s Come as You Are, and the hotel analogy for final judgment And in the epilogue: Why God might call most Christian creeds “an abomination” The real definition of moral courage How social media is like carbon monoxide, lulling doom-scrollers into the sleep of death.

    39 | Nick Cook, the Aviation Journalist Who Cracked Consciousness

    Nick Cook is a British aviation journalist turned consciousness researcher. We discuss his take on the Age of Disclosure documentary, why the UFO conversation has become impossible to have like adults, and how simulation theory might be the most grounding framework for understanding reality (no but really). Highlights: Nick’s storied career, from winning four Royal Aeronautical Society Journalism Awards to investigating Nazi anti-gravity research (Hunt for Zero Point) to consciousness studies (Bigelow essay contest winner) His “Age of Disclosure Challenge”: trying and failing to have actual conversations with skeptics about the documentary’s evidence We’ve lost the ability to hold adult conversations about polarizing topics Back to the co-creative nature of the phenomenon Nick’s simulation theory framework: consciousness is non-local, not generated by individual brains but expressed through them We’re all nodes of a larger consciousness system, constantly feeding data back Simulation theory might sound meaningless, but it actually doubles down Truly understanding consciousness totally recontextualizes human hierarchies The great secret of disclosure isn’t about NHI technology, it’s about how governments have weaponized this for 80 years with Cold War mentality Nick’s approach is the least horrifying version Mal has ever heard Someone please come up with a better name for “simulation theory” And in the epilogue: Nick shares his perspective on human agency, or “free will” Why our souls might have dreaded coming to Earth School What the Belgium drone mystery proves what intelligence agencies know (or don’t) *** SpectreVision Radio is a bespoke podcast network at the intersection between the arts and the uncanny, featuring a tapestry of shows exploring creativity, the esoteric, and the unknown.

    38 | James the Hoaxer and The Age of Disclosure

    Kicking us off this week, Mal takes us through the complete James saga—a YouTuber whose mysterious “UFO” turned into toxic performance art. After that, a high-level conversation about The Age of Disclosure, before Tom finally gets to share a wonderful update from Loch Ness. It’s good, guys. It’s real good. Highlights: Recapping and then tying off the story of James the UFOtuber How he started off, what made him compelling, etc That time a couple weeks ago when he maybe faked his own death? His half-hearted attempts to keep the mystery alive The big reveal that it was all a hoax A lively conversation about the crappiness of this whole thing, and what it reveals as an artifact of our culture Weaponized sincerity, parasocial manipulation, and other fun ideas to enjoy Jordan’s meta-review of The Age of Disclosure (including a quick recap of his experience attending a screening in LA) A stupid review from the New York Times that we refuse to link to A Bug’s Life as a labor organizing manifesto Go join Citizens for Disclosure (after you hear an impassioned pitch for civic engagement) Something is shifting, people are tired of the same things, conversations are bending differently News from Loch Ness - researchers used underwater drones to capture very boring footage and very interesting SOUNDS Very much also: charming Scottish narration and infectious enthusiasm The lake monster laugh is going to be our new ringtone And in the epilogue Why being deceived doesn’t make you a chump How caveman stereotypes were reflections of mid-century misogyny and violence The study that shows how shame causes repeated bad behavior while self-acceptance corrects it. *** SpectreVision Radio is a bespoke podcast network at the intersection between the arts and the uncanny, featuring a tapestry of shows exploring creativity, the esoteric, and the unknown.
