Neuroscientist Breaks Silence on Psychic Testing - Dr. Julia Mossbridge | ep. 99

Summary

Cognitive neuroscientist Dr. Julia Mossbridge describes her childhood in a gifted program called SOAR, which she believes involved covert testing, memory gaps, and later-redacted school records, possibly tied to a government psychic research effort. She lays out her theory of an 'informational substrate' rooted in unconditional love, and shares experiments suggesting that people who feel unconditional love score better at precognitive remote viewing. Host Chris Ramsay recounts his own waking out-of-body experiences after training at the Monroe Institute, and the pair discuss presentiment, time travel, synesthesia, telepathy in non-speaking autistic people, and the mental side of the UAP phenomenon.

Key takeaways

• 1Mossbridge says that in the SOAR (Students on Active Research) gifted program near the Savannah River nuclear site in Augusta, Georgia, she had weekly counseling sessions she could never remember, drank a chalky pink drink, and took 'hearing tests' given by people in suits that asked how sounds made her feel.
• 2When she requested her school transcripts for a federal job requiring a security clearance, the teacher comments from 1st through 8th grade came back redacted. A FOIA request she filed was followed by a job-recruitment call four days later, and she was advanced to cognitive testing three minutes after she dropped the request.
• 3The hypnotic regression therapist she booked canceled, saying she would have 'emergency dental surgery' any time Mossbridge tried to reschedule.
• 4In one in-person study (36 people) and one online study (305 people), participants who rated themselves high in unconditional love did significantly better than chance at precognitive remote viewing.
• 5Her startup, American Electrodynamics, aims to predict the future from the behavior of groups of photons. Her nonprofit, Applied Love Labs, built the 'Time Machine' tool (timemachine.love), funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, which helped trauma survivors.
• 6The conversation references Joe McMoneagle's Monroe Institute out-of-body sessions during Stargate, a neurologist's studies of mind-moving-an-arrow tests in patients with left frontal lobe lesions, Daryl Bem's precognition studies, Jake Barber's octagonal craft experience, and the 1950 Wilbert Smith memo stating the saucer phenomenon was 'mental.'

Transcript excerpt

They were doing testing on us. By the time I got done with that part of the book, which I thought was the end of the book, I realized that that process had worked on me and that I had to write about my own internal disclosure of this thing. And, you know, you can hear me swallow and stuff because it's hard still, and I've talked about it several times. I always remember dreading that walk. As soon as I get in the room and I close the door, I remember nothing. Then I open the door and I leave, and I'm just confused and I go back to class. And I remember not remembering. I don't know if it was a drug, a hypnosis. What really makes me think that there's something going on is I apply for a job in the federal government that requires a clearance. And they say, send us all of your transcripts from your entire schooling history. The comments area from first through eighth grade, they're all redacted. It's hard to sort of recognize out loud that who you are as a person was sort of shaped on purpose. When I was in New Jersey, my girlfriend at the time and I, which became my wife, we were heading out of a building on a beautiful, let's say, Tuesday afternoon. We were walking for our cars to go to lunch. And as we were walking, the building was behind us. But as we were approaching the car, both of us at the same exact time, wrenched our necks over our right shoulder into the sky over the building. ...
