New Thinking AllowedNov 1, 2026
Former Army psychic spy Joseph McMoneagle, one of the original remote viewers in the U.S. government's secret Stargate program, describes roughly 150 remote viewing demonstrations he performed on primetime television in seven countries. He explains why media attention seems to raise his success rate, and why mid-level bureaucrats, clients, and hostile debunkers shy away from or attack psychic research. His stories include a Japanese physics professor who vowed to resign if he couldn't expose a trick, and a Russian tanker that appeared exactly where he had drawn a boat.
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.
