He also began to have Out of Body Experiences (OBEs).

Christian is the author of the book “A Walk in the Physical."

Guest: William A. Donius, author of Thought Revolution: How to Unlock Your Inner Genius


Full notes on Unlocking Your Brain with William Donius Episode 80


William A. Donius came to this exploration of afterlife evidence in a unique way - by developing a methodology for unlocking innovation, intuition, and creativity that engages first the left side of the brain and then the right side. He spent the past ten years to conducting research with hundreds of test subjects to determine if this methodology could be applied to corporate America. 


Very interestingly, as he has gone further, he has noticed that this exercise can open up intuitive and even possibly psychic and mediumship abilities.

Yale University COPE Project Co-director, Psychic Medium + Therapist Brittany Quagan, M.S., LPC Episode 59

Guest: Brittany Quagan, M.S., LPC - Yale University COPE Project Co-director, Psychic Medium + Therapist


Brittany Quagan, M.S., LPC⁠ is a therapist, reiki practitioner, and a psychic medium. She was also Co-director, working with neuroscientist Dr. Al Powers on the Yale University COPE Project.


The Yale University COPE Project researched people who reported hearing voices in various forms. They studied differences of people who find this a problem and cannot control these voices, as well as those who do not and are able to control the voices, such as psychic mediums.


Brittany Quagan is in a unique position as both a psychic medium and a therapist to help end the stigma that the mental health field often has of psychic mediums.

According to her website, Brittany Quagan, has "worked in mental health and wellness for over ten years. She has a Masters Degree of Science in Clinical Counseling and Human Services, as well as a License in the State of Connecticut as a Professional Counselor. She is an anti-racist and LGBTQIA+ affirming therapist. 


She herself struggled with debilitating anxiety, panic disorder, depression, and low self-esteem, which you can learn more about on her website. She has been named one of the top 10 life coaches, and top ten Reiki healers in Connecticut in 2018 and 2019. 


"As a person with lived experience and with deep roots in spirituality and spiritual healing, I worked alongside neuroscientists, therapists, psychic/mediums, spiritual healers, parapsychologists, advocates, and other persons with lived experience to learn from one another, from the experiences others have, and how we can use the strengths and skills that those doing well use to help those who might be struggling with distressing experiences."

Founders of Modern Parapsychology with Sally Rhine Feather, PhD, Daughter of JB + Louisa Rhine, Founders of The Rhine Institute Episode 54

Founders of Modern Parapsychology with Sally Rhine Feather, PhD, Daughter of JB + Louisa Rhine, Founders of The Rhine Institute Episode 54

Sally Rhine Feather, Ph.D. who was born in 1930 is the eldest daughter of Joseph Banks (J.B.) and Louisa Rhine. They are often referred to as the founders of modern parapsychology. They founded what was the Duke Parapsychology Lab and is now the Rhine Research Center: Bridging the Gap between Science and Spirituality. Sally grew up in the early days and heart of parapsychological research. She participated in experiments as a child, met mediums such as Eileen Garret, and as she got older, she was a research assistant for her parents. She watched ESP studies, the launch of Zenar cards, studies on animals and more.

She obtained a doctorate in experimental psychology from Duke University in 1967 and then went on to work at the Duke Parapsychology Lab as a research assistant. Her research topics included psi abilities of animals, correlation of memory and ESP performance, and help-hinder effects in a PK task. 

She later trained in clinical psychology at the University of North Carolina in 1969. She dedicated the next several decades to clinical psychology in mental health centers and her own private practice until she retired in 2004. 

She served on the board of directors at The Rhine, and in 2010 she received the 2010 Career Achievement Award from the Parapsychology Association. She has co-edited books on her parents' research. 


J.B. Rhine:  (1895-1980) is considered to be the founder of modern parapsychology. He was originally a botanist before getting into psychology, joining the psychology department at Duke University. He then moved onto parapsychology and opened the Duke Parapsychology Lab. He was the "first to systematically apply experimental investigations in the field of psychical research." He developed experiments in ESP using Zenar cards, studies in precognition, ESP and worked with historic mediums such as Eileen Garret. He detected fraud but also got inexplicable results. He kept tight protocols and did fascinating ground-breaking research on ESP and Psychokinesis, adding to the solid body of evidence that our consciousness seems to behave non-locally.

Louisa Rhine: (1891-1983) She collaborated with JB Rhine and developed innovative methods to study psi and ESP. Like J.B. Rhine she applied the scientific method to parapsychology. Her main focus was her collection of spontaneous cases. There are books on these cases she collected.

According to Psi Encyclopedia, The Rhine's drew many conclusions such as, "Psi is non-physical, showing no association with brain localization, musculature, sex, age, ethnicity or health, is not mediated through the normal six senses, and is not limited by space or time.

Near Death Experiences (NDEs) in Children with Pediatrician Melvin Morse, M.D. Episode 52

Near Death Experiences (NDEs) in Children with Pediatrician Melvin Morse, M.D. Episode 52

Melvin L. Morse, M.D. is a  medical doctor who specializes in pediatrics and has researched NDEs (near-death experiences) in children. He has authored several books and articles on paranormal science and near-death experiences in children, including the 1987 New York Times bestseller Closer to the Light, written jointly with Paul Perry, and with a foreword written by Raymond Moody.

As a medical student, Dr. Morse always pursued his interests in consciousness research. During a neurology rotation at Johns Hopkins, he worked under the legendary Vernon Montcastle and cared for patients who had half their brains removed or split-brain surgery. He assessed the effects such surgery had on consciousness, his first understanding that consciousness does not depend on brain function. He attended lectures by the early pioneers of functional neurogenesis. This is the revolutionary concept that all thoughts and experience changes our brain and our brain is capable of repairing itself.  Follow Dr. Melvin L.

Spirituality for Skeptics: How Evidence of the Afterlife Gives Us Tangible Hope - Bonus Episode from Live Event for Dr. Lenore Matthew's YouTube Channel

This episode is from a live event I did with Dr. Lenore Matthew for her YouTube Channel. Watch the video episode Spirituality for Skeptics: How Evidence of the Afterlife Gives Us Tangible Hope on Dr. Lenore Matthew's YouTube Channel .... Join Liz and Lenore, two analytical former skeptics, for a discussion on evidence of the afterlife and how it gives us hope after loss. Liz Entin is an afterlife researcher, author, and host of the podcast, WTF Just Happened?! Dr. Lenore Matthew is a Dr. of Social Work, an expert in evaluation research, and a trained evidential psychic medium. Find Dr. Lenore Matthew at: www.drlenorematthew.com www.instagram.com/drlenorematthew www.facebook.com/drlenorematthew Find Liz Entin of WTF Just Happened?! at: www.wtfjusthappened.net www.instagram.com/wtfjusthappened www.facebook.com/wtfjusthappened6 Talk Details: As science-minded, analytical people, Liz and Lenore had no reason to think about the afterlife — until their loved one passed away and the world of afterlife communication unexpectedly opened up to them. Liz Entin considered herself a rational person who dismissed the concept of an afterlife as nothing more than wishful thinking. Shattered and lost after her dad’s unexpected death, she was moved to investigate if there was any scientific evidence of an afterlife. This exploration shook her understanding of the world to the core, and led to writing her book and hosting her podcast, both titled, WTF Just Happened?! A sensitive data scientist, Dr. Lenore Matthew's life was forever changed in 2020, when her husband took his own life without warning — and that same night, began coming to her from the afterlife. Her path as a psychic medium awoke that night — a path that was rife with challenges, namely around her skepticism. Today, she helps other people develop their intuitive abilities, and conducts research and evaluation studies of the impact of mediumship and other spiritual healing on people's health and well-being. In this online event, Liz and Lenore present their unique experiences researching and encountering the afterlife after the traumatic loss of a loved one, and how the evidence they've collected gave them tangible hope for the future — even being former skeptics. ⁠Book⁠⁠ ⁠| ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website ⁠⁠⁠

He has produced over 250 podcast episodes. Each one is an hour long interview with a researcher or someone who has had an amazing experience. Almost all of the guests have written a book and in preparation for each episode Simon reads the guest's book to give him the knowledge to ask in depth questions. Combining the information and insight gained from the interviews and the books has given him a detailed overview of the concepts of Reincarnation, Near Death Experiences and the continuation of consciousness.

Signs and Dimes from The Other Side with Author of "Dimes from Heaven" and "Once Upon a Dime," Monica L. Morrissey Episode 49

Signs and Dimes from The Other Side with Author of "Dimes from Heaven" and "Once Upon a Dime," Monica L. Morrissey Episode 49

Monica began to get amazing signs (all dimes) after her father passed.


Monica L. Morrissey is author of Dimes From HeavenMore Dimes From Heaven and Once Upon a Dime. She is also owner of Intuitive Wellness, where it is all about "soul-care." She is a professor at Southern New Hampshire University where she teaches teachers who are working on their Master’s degree in Curriculum and Assessment. She was an elementary school teacher for 24 years.  She taught middle school math for three years and and then was aCurriculum Director for five years (so she is logical!).


Monica has been an educator for over thirty years. Her experience teaching others helped her gain the knowledge she would need for the unexpected career change; becoming an author. At the age of fifty, she published her inspiring Dimes from Heaven, How Coins and Coincidences Helped Me Discover My Life as an Empath book to help others understand our connection to loved ones who are in the spirit world and how our thoughts affect our health. Following her intuition like never before, she began sharing stories about synchronistic events revealing that our souls never die. As an empath and natural-born teacher, her faith is guiding her to help people experience life and death in a whole new way. 


Monica was careful to leave spirituality out of the classroom. Since the tragic death of her nephew in 2008, she secretly began reading and studying about mediums, death, grief, and how our body (and life) are affected by our thoughts. She now has a better knowledge about the afterlife to share with others. Her retirement from the public school system allowed her to follow her true passion; helping people who want to learn more about everlasting life and who want to live healthier and happier lives.


Monica is a Reiki Master and Instructor, Intuitive Card Reader, Past Life Regression practitioner, and loves to analyze dreams. At her business, Intuitive Wellness, Monica is dedicated to helping clients with soul-care. When she started writing her stories  she knew they were powerful and they would and will continue to help readers experiencing loss. She wants everyone to be able to experience this feeling.Dimes from Heaven  was a finalist for the International Indie Book Awards in the category of death and dying and was an Amazon #1 Top New Release in Supernaturalism.Monica knows how powerful these stories of coincidences are from another dimension. Dimes are her signature sign from heaven and people love listening to her stories. The synchronicities reveal a soul’s life is eternal. Each of her books gives us the tools to open the door to heaven so we are able to feel the deep love for those no longer with us.

Assess Afterlife Evidence and Medium Readings Critically and Avoid $300 Ghost Detectors with Kenny Biddle, Chief Investigator for the Committee for Skeptical Inquiry Episode 48

Assess Afterlife Evidence and Medium Readings Critically and Avoid $300 Ghost Detectors with Kenny Biddle, Chief Investigator for the Committee for Skeptical Inquiry Episode 48

How good are Liz's protocols when getting a medium reading? Are they different than Kenny's? What are ways to detect cold-readings? Kenny shares some really entertaining "ghost hunts," and how to make sure you assess everything skeptically. Both Liz and Kenny like evidence, try to avoid belief, have the sense of humor of a twelve-year-old, and challenge how one another think, all of which makes this an especially fun episode. Kenny Biddle is the Chief Investigator for the Committee for Skeptical Inquiry, skeptical investigator and has a column in the Skeptical Inquirer. Despite his skeptical take (more so than Liz), he has taught a class alongside Loyd Auerbach at The Rhine Education Center "Skeptical Approach to Parapsychology." He used to "believe it all," unskeptically, but after some absurd experiences, he changed his mind and learned how to logically evaluate. While he has concluded differently than Liz and Loyd, and has not concluded an afterlife (or PSI) in general is highly probable, he shares how to protect against fraudulent psychic mediums, how to detect cold-readings, and shares some of the most ridiculous frauds out there, such as $300 ghost-detectors. He has some really fun stories from the field of "ghost-hunting," and he and Liz actually do not disagree on techniques and most of the conclusions.

"Atheists in the Afterlife: Eight Paths to Life After Death Without God," Author Sea Kimbrell Episode 47

"Atheists in the Afterlife: Eight Paths to Life After Death Without God," Author Sea Kimbrell Episode 47

Consciousness can be created by a brain and there could still be an afterlife. How could that work? Sea Kimbrell has a JD and a PhD in biology, and is a former Professor of Biology. Sea decided to leave academia because he wanted to spend his time thinking about the big questions in life, not where his next grant was coming from. He currently writes from his home in Kansas. He is author of "Atheists in the Afterlife: Eight Paths to Life After Death Without God." As an atheist from a secular family he always wondered what could happen after death. Using his knowledge as a scientist, he realized there ARE ways we can survive death that has nothing to do with god, heaven, or religion. While there has been lots of scientific research on survival of consciousness, Sea takes a completely unique approach to this question. Theories such as a Block Universe related to how time is an illusion and the simulation theory are some of the theories that play into his assessment. Sea and Liz discuss how as two atheists, who think there could be an afterlife, their thoughts are alike and how they differ.

Blinded, Peer Reviewed Scientific Studies on Psychic Mediums with Dr. Julie Beischel, Cofounder and Director of Research at the Windbridge Research Center and the Windbridge Institute, LLC. Episode 46

Blinded, Peer Reviewed Scientific Studies on Psychic Mediums with Dr. Julie Beischel, Cofounder and Director of Research at the Windbridge Research Center and the Windbridge Institute, LLC. Episode 46

What happens when serious scientific protocols and testing methods are applied to psychic mediums? Can they get accurate information? Is this strong evidence that we actually survive badly death?


Guest:⁠Julie Beischel, PhD⁠, Cofounder and Director of Research at the ⁠Windbridge Research Center⁠ and the ⁠Windbridge Institute, LLC⁠


Dr. Julie Beischel is cofounder of the Windbridge Institute (Normalize, Optimize, Utilize Psi) and the Windbridge Research Center (studying dying, death, and what comes next), along with her husband Mark Boccuzzi. She is also Director of Research at the Windbridge Research Center.

Dr. Beischel received her PhD in Pharmacology and Toxicology with a minor in Microbiology and Immunology from the University of Arizona. She then took her training as a scientist to apply the scientific method to study psychic mediums. Windbridge and the research team have used tight protocols to conduct up to quintuple-blinded, peer-reviewed studies on psychic-mediums. These studies had astounding results. When you eliminate all opportunities for mediums to cheat (such as giving cold-readings or hot-readings) a portion of mediums can get highly accurate information under these tight controls.

The evidence and data of Windbridge strongly points in the direction, that yes, we and our loved ones actually do survive bodily death.

Afterlife Science and Certifying Psychic Mediums Finally Convinced Robert Ginsberg, Cofounder of the Forever Family Foundation Episode 45

Afterlife Science and Certifying Psychic Mediums Finally Convinced Robert Ginsberg, Cofounder of the Forever Family Foundation Episode 45

It took Robert (Bob) Ginsberg, Cofounder of the ⁠Forever Family Foundation⁠, six years of a deep dive into the evidence of an afterlife before he was convinced. However, the science, a bunch of inexplicable signs, personal experiences and readings with psychic mediums all came together to convince him we (most likely) survive death.

Bob and his wife Phran (who sadly passed in 2020) are cofounders of the Forever Family Foundation⁠, which they founded in 2004, after the unexpected passing of their daughter Bailey. Forever Family Foundation is an organization dedicated to helping the grieving by using science and evidence to demonstrate that yes, we do survive bodily death. They use a science-based testing protocol to certify psychic mediums to assure they can get accurate information under strict controls which eliminates any opportunity to cheat. They have a scientific advisory board, hold grief retreats, host webinars, and are a very supportive and loving community who get grief.

Out of Body Experiences (OBEs) Researched and Verified with Graham Nicholls, OBE Expert and Leading Practitioner Episode 42

Guest: Graham Nicholls OBE (Out of Body Experience) Expert and Leading Practitioner Books: Avenues of the Human Spirit and Navigating the Out of Body Experience: Radical New Techniques Graham Nicholls is an Out of Body (OBE) expert and teacher, who has participated in a lot of scientific studies on OBE’s and psychic phenomena. One of the first times he found himself out of body and out of his home, he “floated” along the street and into a home. He checked the house, including the name on a letter and the address. He did not know these people and had never been in their home. When he checked the name against the address it was accurate. That was one of many times he verified that he was actually out of body. He had a few other remarkable experiences, including an emotionally powerful experience where he witnessed and predicted a tragedy. about a week before it occurred He also witnessed a second tragedy right after it occurred, although it was nowhere near him, and had not yet made the news.

When Graham participated in lab experiments on OBE’s and psychic phenomena, getting the highest score that researcher Rupert Sheldrake, Ph.D. had ever seen. He has also participated in research with Dean Radin and at The Rhine Research Center. Science, verifying his OBE experiences and attempting to learn and research the mechanism and explanations behind OBE's is his priority.

Psychic Military Spies, US Army Star Gate Project, and Remote Viewing with Paul H. Smith Episode 39

Psychic Military Spies, US Army Star Gate Project, and Remote Viewing with Paul H. Smith Episode 39

Paul H. Smith, Remote Viewer with the US Army Star Gate Project describes his time as a "psychic spy" in the US Army Remote Viewing Program, named the Star Gate Project, which he joined in 1984. (Star Gate was officially declassified in 1994.) Remote Viewing is a learned skill where a person can get information about an event or location using ESP or psychic information. During Paul's assignment with the US Army, he was trained by the founders of Remote Viewing, Ingo Swann and Dr. Harold E. Puthoff at SRI-International (Stanford Research Institute). Paul shares some remarkable and highly evidential Remote Viewing sessions he witnessed, in which the US Army Remote Viewers got specific details of locations and what was being built in those locations. He also shares a few remarkable times he got very accurate information, including a time he (and others) got precognitive information - meaning information about the future - about an event that had not yet happened. He discusses ways Remote Viewing has been applied to the everyday real world, such as betting and investing, as well as used by police and detectives. Remote Viewing has also been used to view outer space where Ingo Swann got details that were later verified. If you have ever heard that Star Gate was not successful, Paul will explain why it was actually closed and why that is not true. This episode with a logical-minded, well-respected Retired US Army Major who discusses factual situations where he and other people seemingly defined the laws of space and time, will make you question what you think you know. No matter how science-minded you are.

Paul currently teaches classes on Remote Viewing (anyone can learn this technique!). You can find the details on his website, Remote Viewing Instructional Services. He also wrote books on the topic The Essential Guide to Remote Viewing: The Secret Military Remote Perception Skill Anyone Can Learn and Remote Perception: Basic Operational Training. His book is also available on Amazon kindle and paperback.
