Postmortem Survival and the Physical Universe with Ruth Kastner
New Thinking Allowed with Jeffrey Mishlove Sep 5, 2026 New Thinking Allowed Audio Podcast Ruth Kastner, PhD, is a member of the Foundations of Physics group at the University of Maryland, College Park. She is author of The Transactional Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics: The Reality of Possibility, Understanding Our Unseen Reality: Solving Quantum Riddles, and Adventures in Quantumland: Exploring Our Unseen Reality. In this video, rebooted from 2021, she contrasts the “eternalist” view of physics, as expressed in the idea of a “block universe” based on Einstein’s theory of relativity, with a “dynamical” view as expressed in the transactional interpretation of quantum mechanics. These interpretations of the physical universe both allow some form of human postmortem survival – although they appear to be quite different from each other. New Thinking Allowed host, Jeffrey Mishlove, PhD, is author of The Roots of Consciousness, Psi Development Systems, and The PK Man. Between 1986 and 2002 he hosted and co-produced the original Thinking Allowed public television series. He is the recipient of the only doctoral diploma in “parapsychology” ever awarded by an accredited university (University of California, Berkeley, 1980). He is also the Grand Prize winner of the 2021 Bigelow Institute essay competition regarding the best evidence for survival of human consciousness after permanent bodily death. He is Co-Director of Parapsychology Education at the California Institute for Human Science. (Recorded on March 11, 2021)
Holographic Universe & Synchronicity, Part II, with Michael Talbot (1953 – 1992)
New Thinking Allowed with Jeffrey Mishlove Aug 21, 2026 Michael Talbot is author of Mysticism and the New Physics, Beyond the Quantum, Your Past Lives and The Holographic Universe. He has also authored four novels. This program was taped approximately six months before his untimely death in May 1992. Here Talbot discusses his own unusual experiences with poltergeist phenomena and UFOs. He suggests that the holographic model provides a means for understanding these experiences without falling into the twin traps of skeptical debunking or occult romanticism.
An Open-Ended Conversation with Tom Campbell
New Thinking Allowed with Jeffrey Mishlove Aug 20, 2026 New Thinking Allowed Audio Podcast Tom Campbell, a physicist, is author of the three-volume set, My Big TOE, describing a meta-theory that offers an account of the paranormal, as well as other scientific mysteries. He is also the founder of the Center for Unification of Science and Consciousness. His websites are https://www.my-big-toe.com/ and https://cusac.org Tom explains why he now calls his model the reality rather than a reality after 20 years of finding no factual violation of it. He describes consciousness as fundamental — an information system that computes our physical universe as a virtual reality entropy-reduction trainer where we evolve through choices between love and fear. Campbell discusses entropy, synchronicity, alien encounters, dreams, and why living gracefully with uncertainty matters more than asking if an experience was real. 00:00:00 Introduction 00:04:02 Early paranormal experiences with Bob Monroe 00:17:29 Entropy and consciousness evolution 00:30:53 Virtual reality and the data stream 00:42:11 Love versus fear as ethical choices 00:54:59 Science beyond materialism and mathematics 01:07:56 Synchronicity and non-human intelligence 01:20:00 Fear tests and interactions with beings 01:35:07 Meaning of experiences and growth 01:53:18 Conclusion New Thinking Allowed host, Jeffrey Mishlove, PhD, is author of The Roots of Consciousness, Psi Development Systems, and The PK Man.
