Mark Booth | Mystic Scientists, Strange Happenings, & The Secret History Of The Universe

The Higherside ChatsSep 25, 2026

Author Mark Booth, also known by his pen name Jonathan Black, returns to discuss his book The Secret History of the Universe, which argues that the founders of modern physics were often mystics, occultists, and spiritualists. He describes how pioneers like Wolfgang Pauli, Schrodinger, Heisenberg, and Marie Curie drew on Kabbalah, Rosicrucianism, Indian mysticism, and seances to make sense of the strange behavior of the quantum world. The conversation also covers synchronicity, the Green Children of Woolpit, the Jim twins, mathematical patterns as living 'thought beings,' and Booth's own childhood encounters with high strangeness.

Life in Afterlife with Stafford Betty (4K Reboot)

New Thinking AllowedAug 27, 2026

Religion professor Stafford Betty discusses his novel The Afterlife Therapist, a fictional journey through the afterlife built on decades of research into spirit communications received through mediums. He describes an astral world much like our own, where the newly dead take on youthful bodies, choose unpaid work, and grow spiritually, while earthbound spirits and self-made shadow realms trap those bound by addiction. The conversation ranges from rescuing Henry VIII from a 500-year imaginary kingdom to competing souls choosing reincarnation and saints visiting from higher heavens.

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.

Body, Mind, and Death with David Lorimer (4K Reboot)

New Thinking AllowedAug 17, 2026

David Lorimer, longtime program director of the Scientific and Medical Network, argues that well-documented phenomena like crisis apparitions, near-death life reviews, and mediumship cannot be explained by the assumption that the brain produces consciousness. He traces this view through the visionary scientist Emanuel Swedenborg, William James, and the early Society for Psychical Research, and even describes an automatic-writing message said to come from the late skeptic Bertrand Russell. Lorimer concludes that if all minds are connected at a deep level, then harming others is harming ourselves, which gives the research a direct ethical meaning.

Raad Enlightenment on Unmasking the Reptilian Matrix, Part 2

Aeon Byte Gnostic RadioAug 5, 2026

Self-described awakened guide Rad Enlightenment (J-Rad) returns to Aeon Byte Gnostic Radio to argue that our physical reality is a holographic matrix built by reptilian entities to harvest human life force. He claims these beings feed on our emotional reactions, possess people around us, and trap souls in an endless reincarnation cycle. The escape, he says, is to stop identifying with the body and mind and recognize yourself as formless consciousness observing the simulation.
