From its earliest days, America served as an arena for the revolutions in alternative spirituality that eventually swept the globe. Esoteric philosophies and personas – from Freemasonry to Spiritualism, from Madame H. P. Blavatsky to Edgar Cayce – dramatically altered the nation’s culture, politics, and religion. Yet the mystical roots of our identity are often ignored or overlooked.
Distilled Spirits blends the stories of three men – Aldous Huxley, Gerald Heard, and Bill Wilson – who transformed the twentieth century landscape of spirituality. Huxley, author of Brave New World, ignited a generation that sought enlightenment through psychedelic drugs. Heard, an Anglo-Irish mystic, journeyed to California with Huxley to lay the foundations for the New Age and human potential movements. Wilson, the co-founder of Alcoholics Anonymous, joined forces with Huxley and Heard to see if LSD could be used to help diehard drunks.
While quantum mechanics, relativity, non-Euclidean geometries, non-Aristotelian logic, and General Semantics have revolutionized our view of the world, the habits of everyday thought remain deeply rooted in the thought patterns and linguistic conventions of the Middle Ages. Through an introduction to E-Prime (English without use of the verb “to be”), the Eight Circuits of the Brain Model, and the labyrinth of Quantum Mechanics’ various views of reality, Quantum Psychology can help your brain improve your perception of yourself and the world.

Her books have been published in more than 50 countries. Lorna has been seeing angels since she was a baby. She sees angels, physically, with as much clarity as the rest of us see people.

She is the founder of the Lorna Byrne Children’s Foundation. Her website is lornabyrne.com. In this video, rebooted from 2022, Lorna shares that before she could speak, she has been able to communicate with angels and spirits. Even though she is severely dyslexic, she has written bestselling books. All that she has learned was taught to her by angels. Among her countless precognitive experiences, include knowing, at the age of 10, who she would marry. Millions of angels are on earth. Although, she describes many angels as unemployed. She shares how we can employ them to receive their messages and help. She has had several near-death experiences (NDEs), including visiting heaven. She says we have NDEs to know that we don’t die. Lorna gives a special message from the angels to New Thinking Allowed.

Arthur Versluis clearly and tautly argues that mysticism must be properly understood as belonging to the great tradition of Platonism. He demonstrates how mysticism was historically understood in Western philosophical and religious traditions and emphatically rejects externalist approaches to esoteric religion. Instead he develops a new theoretical-critical model for understanding mystical literature and the humanities as a whole, from philosophy and literature to art.
Mossbridge reveals how awakening begins not with external revelation but with inner truth. She demonstrates that you already know how to release fear, deepen compassion, and live from a higher awareness. In the second part of the book, Dr. Mossbridge then brings these capacities into her own disclosure about what appears to be a U.S. government-run gifted student program that seems to have been interested in psychic abilities as well as other forms of unusual cognition.
One of the hardest hurdles facing people in intuition is trusting what they get. It’s easy to second-guess and wonder if your inner guidance is intuition or imagination. Henry Reed’s process moves you into trust and confidence. Your own wisdom, accumulated from your life experiences, is stored in memories. Henry shows you how to work with your memories to make powerful connections to your own wisdom. Everything is drawn from within.
New Thinking Allowed with Jeffrey Mishlove Jun 11, 2026 Ulf Holmberg is a Swedish economist and independent researcher with a keen interest in global affairs, economics, equity markets, and the fascinating intersections of consciousness with the financial markets. He has authored several papers on the application of random event generators, and in particular those of the Global Consciousness Project, consisting of a connected network of random event generators spread throughout the world, as a forecasting tool. Ulf discusses his investigations into how human emotional attention may influence random event generators and large-scale global systems. Drawing on data from the Global Consciousness Project, Holmberg explores correlations between collective consciousness, internet behavior, and movements in the financial markets, suggesting that emotionally significant world events may leave measurable informational traces. Holmberg also describes emerging predictive models that combine consciousness-related data with market analytics, opening provocative questions about the relationship between mind, information, and the structure of reality. 00:00:00 Introduction 00:02:24 Home random generator experiment 00:05:37 Consciousness affecting randomness 00:10:16 Entropy and information ordering 00:12:16 Global Consciousness Project explained 00:15:45 Forecasting financial markets 00:18:12 Market models and usefulness 00:20:06 Quantum consciousness theories 00:22:06 Global Consciousness Project 2.0 00:27:02 Conclusion (Recorded on Sunday, May 24, 2026)
