Collective Unconscious

Trauma, Dreams, and Nightmares with Laurie Nadel (4K Reboot)

New Thinking AllowedOct 25, 2026

Psychologist and former CBS News journalist Dr. Laurie Nadel joins Jeffrey Mishlove to explore how trauma, chronic illness, and collective crisis shape our inner lives, from long-haul COVID to the turbulent events of early 2021. She argues that serious illness can become a 'sacred illness' that drives spiritual growth, and that the sleeping mind acts like a satellite dish picking up premonitions of catastrophe from the collective unconscious. Nadel describes patients who dreamed of 9/11 more than a year in advance and offers practical techniques for reprogramming nightmares.

Postmortem Survival and the Physical Universe with Ruth Kastner (4K Reboot)

New Thinking AllowedAug 23, 2026

Philosopher of physics Ruth Kastner joins Jeffrey Mishlove to ask whether quantum theory leaves room for consciousness to survive bodily death. She rejects Einstein's 'block universe' consolation and argues instead for a quantum substratum, a real domain of possibility outside space-time from which physical events emerge. In her view, most of reality lies beyond space-time, which opens the door to mental or spiritual dimensions and to postmortem survival.

The Afterlife and the Unconscious with Betty Kovács (4K Reboot)

New Thinking AllowedAug 18, 2026

Dr. Betty Kovács, author of The Miracle of Death, describes detailed after-death communications with her son Pishti and her husband Istvan, both of whom died in car accidents two years apart. She argues that the afterlife is not a distant place but a dimension of one universal mind that is always present, which we normally shut out through what Aldous Huxley called a mental 'valve.' Along the way she recounts shamanic visions, a cosmic feminine being named Saira, and an encounter with a glowing disc of consciousness that declared, 'Your planet has called us and we are here.'

The Body, the Subtle Body, and the Psyche with Erica Lorentz

New Thinking AllowedAug 10, 2026

Jungian analyst Erica Lorentz joins Jeffrey Mishlove to argue that Western culture has turned the body into a 'shadow', a neglected and distrusted part of ourselves, and that Carl Jung's methods offer a way back into embodied healing. She describes how Authentic Movement, a Jungian form of free association through the body, helped cure her chronic headaches through a sudden kundalini-like energy release. The conversation ranges into the 'subtle body', the imaginal realm of the Sufis, a client who believes she communicates with her cancer, levitating mystics, and the possibility that we survive death in a subtle body.

Dr. Paul Bishop on Jung and Nietzsche: Alchemists of the Abyss

Aeon Byte Gnostic RadioJul 17, 2026

Scholar Dr. Paul Bishop discusses the third volume of his series 'Jung and the Epic of Transformation', which examines how Nietzsche's 'Thus Spoke Zarathustra' shaped Carl Jung's psychology and his visionary Red Book. Both men were sons of clergymen who descended into the 'abyss' of the unconscious. Nietzsche collapsed into madness, while Jung, grounded by family, profession, and community, returned to tell the tale. The conversation contrasts Nietzsche's proclamation that 'God is dead' with Jung's view that God is sick and must be healed, and explores the dangers and rewards of the inner journey.
