1
00:00:01,995 --> 00:00:05,195
NARRATOR: Events predicted
centuries before they occur.
2
00:00:05,297 --> 00:00:06,597
NICK POPE:
He was able to perceive
3
00:00:06,624 --> 00:00:10,084
the rise of Napoleon,
the rise of Hitler,
4
00:00:10,178 --> 00:00:13,513
atomic weapons dropped
on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
5
00:00:13,673 --> 00:00:17,350
NARRATOR:
Objects moved with the power of the mind.
6
00:00:17,510 --> 00:00:19,577
Without touching it,
I'm able to control it.
7
00:00:19,604 --> 00:00:20,761
I can hold it over there.
8
00:00:20,855 --> 00:00:23,748
- I can pull it back there.
- POPE: Wow.
9
00:00:23,775 --> 00:00:25,416
NARRATOR:
Communications that happen
10
00:00:25,443 --> 00:00:27,434
without speaking a word.
11
00:00:27,529 --> 00:00:28,510
JOHN VIVANCO:
This thing
12
00:00:28,571 --> 00:00:29,529
telepathically...
13
00:00:29,689 --> 00:00:31,030
communicated with me,
14
00:00:31,190 --> 00:00:32,848
and it said,
"We are here to help you."
15
00:00:32,909 --> 00:00:34,867
NARRATOR:
There are many who believe
16
00:00:35,027 --> 00:00:37,762
that the human brain possesses
extraordinary,
17
00:00:37,789 --> 00:00:43,117
untapped abilities, given to us
by extraterrestrial beings.
18
00:00:43,211 --> 00:00:45,770
DAVID CHILDRESS:
You have to wonder if, ultimately,
19
00:00:45,797 --> 00:00:47,938
the goal is to activate
20
00:00:47,966 --> 00:00:49,865
all the humans on this planet.
21
00:00:49,926 --> 00:00:53,127
NARRATOR:
If true, once we learn to access
22
00:00:53,221 --> 00:00:55,221
the full potential of the brain,
23
00:00:55,381 --> 00:00:57,965
will we discover a new reality
24
00:00:58,059 --> 00:01:00,709
and destiny for humankind?
25
00:01:00,770 --> 00:01:02,878
WILLIAM HENRY:
It's possible that extraterrestrial beings
26
00:01:02,939 --> 00:01:04,546
are sending messages
27
00:01:04,607 --> 00:01:07,149
to assist us in averting
a future disaster.
28
00:01:09,153 --> 00:01:11,796
NARRATOR:
There is a doorway
29
00:01:11,823 --> 00:01:14,315
in the universe.
30
00:01:14,409 --> 00:01:17,285
Beyond it is
the promise of truth.
31
00:01:18,955 --> 00:01:21,396
It demands
we question everything
32
00:01:21,457 --> 00:01:24,141
we have ever been taught.
33
00:01:24,168 --> 00:01:27,569
The evidence is all around us.
34
00:01:27,630 --> 00:01:31,498
The future is
right before our eyes.
35
00:01:31,593 --> 00:01:34,427
We are not alone.
36
00:01:34,587 --> 00:01:37,597
We have never been alone.

Ancient Aliens S14E16
(" The Alien Brain ")
English HI / SDH CC Conv. SRT - UF (v14.16)
38
00:01:45,815 --> 00:01:48,165
Paris, France.
39
00:01:48,192 --> 00:01:51,927
June 30, 1559.
40
00:01:51,988 --> 00:01:54,021
In a freak accident,
41
00:01:54,115 --> 00:01:57,691
French King Henry II
is mortally wounded
42
00:01:57,785 --> 00:02:00,286
while jousting in a tournament.
(horse neighs)
43
00:02:03,708 --> 00:02:06,608
Ten days later, he dies.
44
00:02:06,669 --> 00:02:09,611
The news shocks
the French people...
45
00:02:09,672 --> 00:02:12,189
except for one man:
46
00:02:12,216 --> 00:02:15,676
the seer, Michel de Nostradamus.
47
00:02:18,273 --> 00:02:20,640
Years earlier,
Nostradamus foretold the death
48
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,868
of King Henry in Les Prophéties,
49
00:02:23,895 --> 00:02:29,131
a collection of 942 predictions
about the future.
50
00:02:29,192 --> 00:02:31,967
Now his macabre vision
has been realized
51
00:02:32,028 --> 00:02:34,236
with startling clarity.
52
00:02:35,740 --> 00:02:37,882
Nostradamus's fame as a prophet
53
00:02:37,909 --> 00:02:39,717
starts with the...
54
00:02:39,744 --> 00:02:41,476
prophecy that King Henry II
55
00:02:41,537 --> 00:02:43,663
would die
in a jousting accident.
56
00:02:43,823 --> 00:02:47,649
He died, as the prophecy said,
"a cruel death."
57
00:02:47,710 --> 00:02:51,820
The reaction to this
positively accurate prediction
58
00:02:51,881 --> 00:02:56,133
was masses of people
burning Nostradamus in effigy.
59
00:02:59,171 --> 00:03:02,497
NARRATOR:
Long after his death in 1566,
60
00:03:02,558 --> 00:03:05,092
Nostradamus's
most chilling prophecies
61
00:03:05,186 --> 00:03:08,170
became known around the world.
62
00:03:08,231 --> 00:03:09,930
HENRY:
He's famous today
63
00:03:10,024 --> 00:03:13,434
because in 1555 he predicted
the rise of Napoleon,
64
00:03:13,528 --> 00:03:15,085
of Adolf Hitler,
65
00:03:15,113 --> 00:03:17,179
of the death of Princess Diana.
66
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:20,015
MITCH HOROWITZ: Nostradamus is
perhaps the most enduring name
67
00:03:20,076 --> 00:03:22,109
in post-biblical prophecy,
68
00:03:22,203 --> 00:03:24,704
and people continue to feel
that they can learn
69
00:03:24,864 --> 00:03:27,873
what's around the next corner
by studying his quatrains.
70
00:03:28,033 --> 00:03:30,451
HOGUE:
His prophecies are foggy,
71
00:03:30,545 --> 00:03:33,270
cloudy, cryptic,
72
00:03:33,297 --> 00:03:36,290
full of wordplays
called anagrams.
73
00:03:36,384 --> 00:03:40,778
He was trying to create
a difficult verse to avoid
74
00:03:40,805 --> 00:03:43,113
the church justices burning him.
75
00:03:43,141 --> 00:03:45,950
NARRATOR:
Nostradamus did not claim
76
00:03:45,977 --> 00:03:49,044
to have been born with
the ability to see the future.
77
00:03:49,105 --> 00:03:51,397
He said that this gift
came to him suddenly
78
00:03:51,557 --> 00:03:54,382
in his mid-40s
when he traveled Southern Europe
79
00:03:54,444 --> 00:03:58,053
as a physician and chemist
fighting the plague.
80
00:03:58,114 --> 00:04:00,464
But just what... or who...
81
00:04:00,491 --> 00:04:03,391
gave him the incredible ability
to see the future
82
00:04:03,453 --> 00:04:06,637
was a mystery even to him.
83
00:04:06,664 --> 00:04:09,323
HOGUE:
He was single-handedly fighting the plague,
84
00:04:09,417 --> 00:04:12,752
and his wife
and his two children died.
85
00:04:12,912 --> 00:04:15,312
He packed up his mule,
and, literally, in one night,
86
00:04:15,339 --> 00:04:17,164
left everything...
87
00:04:17,258 --> 00:04:21,318
and disappeared
from the historical chronicles
88
00:04:21,345 --> 00:04:23,578
for about six years.
89
00:04:23,639 --> 00:04:25,155
The shock, the grief,
90
00:04:25,183 --> 00:04:27,099
the shattering
of what had happened to him
91
00:04:27,259 --> 00:04:30,160
had awakened the family gift.
92
00:04:30,188 --> 00:04:32,087
He had an awakening experience
93
00:04:32,148 --> 00:04:35,516
that somehow opened up
his psychic ability.
94
00:04:35,610 --> 00:04:37,443
It's quite possible
that his brain itself
95
00:04:37,603 --> 00:04:39,261
was somehow altered,
96
00:04:39,322 --> 00:04:41,263
a switch was flipped,
and when he came back,
97
00:04:41,324 --> 00:04:43,616
he had the ability
to see into the future
98
00:04:43,776 --> 00:04:45,826
and to make prophecies.
99
00:04:49,448 --> 00:04:51,439
NARRATOR:
A psychic awakening?
100
00:04:51,501 --> 00:04:53,684
Is it possible
that Nostradamus's ability
101
00:04:53,711 --> 00:04:56,020
to predict the future
was somehow activated
102
00:04:56,047 --> 00:04:58,506
by the trauma he experienced?
103
00:05:00,134 --> 00:05:03,285
Many researchers
of extrasensory abilities
104
00:05:03,346 --> 00:05:06,380
believe the human brain
contains incredible potential
105
00:05:06,474 --> 00:05:08,974
that scientists
have not yet discovered,
106
00:05:09,134 --> 00:05:13,203
and which are sometimes
switched on by traumatic events.
107
00:05:13,231 --> 00:05:15,873
Evidence of this can be found
108
00:05:15,900 --> 00:05:18,375
not only
in the life of Nostradamus,
109
00:05:18,402 --> 00:05:23,030
but also extraordinary cases
documented in modern times.
110
00:05:26,911 --> 00:05:28,828
Melbourne, Australia.
111
00:05:31,082 --> 00:05:33,648
February 2012.
112
00:05:33,709 --> 00:05:37,244
21-year-old college student
Ben McMahon
113
00:05:37,338 --> 00:05:40,989
is driving home one afternoon
when a semitruck
114
00:05:41,050 --> 00:05:43,417
- runs a red light...
- (tires screeching)
115
00:05:43,511 --> 00:05:46,328
- (crashing)
- and broadsides his car.
116
00:05:46,389 --> 00:05:48,589
- (monitor beeping steadily)
- The accident leaves McMahon
117
00:05:48,683 --> 00:05:50,574
in a coma.
118
00:05:50,601 --> 00:05:52,500
When he awakens a week later,
119
00:05:52,562 --> 00:05:54,428
McMahon shocks everyone
120
00:05:54,522 --> 00:05:56,838
by speaking in fluent Mandarin,
121
00:05:56,899 --> 00:06:00,842
a language he only
casually studied in high school
122
00:06:00,903 --> 00:06:05,756
Doctors say McMahon suffers
from foreign language syndrome,
123
00:06:05,783 --> 00:06:09,827
a rare condition that occurs
after a traumatic brain injury.
124
00:06:11,372 --> 00:06:13,263
There have been
certain circumstances
125
00:06:13,291 --> 00:06:15,599
where people have had
an injury of the brain
126
00:06:15,626 --> 00:06:19,712
and then suddenly developed some
completely new, uh, ability.
127
00:06:19,872 --> 00:06:22,364
It's a little bit like
the savant phenomenon,
128
00:06:22,425 --> 00:06:26,293
where somebody has just
these unbelievable abilities
129
00:06:26,387 --> 00:06:29,513
in a given domain
that are kind of unexplainable.
130
00:06:31,475 --> 00:06:35,543
The brain is a compilation
of billions of nerve cells
131
00:06:35,605 --> 00:06:38,122
that work together
to help us have our thoughts,
132
00:06:38,149 --> 00:06:40,215
feelings and experiences.
133
00:06:40,276 --> 00:06:42,809
Almost everything is still
mysterious about the brain.
134
00:06:42,904 --> 00:06:45,237
I mean, we understand the basics
of how things work,
135
00:06:45,397 --> 00:06:48,240
but when it comes
to our actual feelings,
136
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:51,301
our thought, our emotions,
our consciousness,
137
00:06:51,329 --> 00:06:53,303
we really don't have
a good answer
138
00:06:53,331 --> 00:06:55,322
as to how the brain helps us
139
00:06:55,416 --> 00:06:57,307
to have
those different experiences.
140
00:06:57,335 --> 00:06:59,326
NARRATOR:
People who have suffered
141
00:06:59,420 --> 00:07:03,071
traumatic brain injuries
have developed incredible skills
142
00:07:03,132 --> 00:07:05,315
such as perfect recall
143
00:07:05,343 --> 00:07:08,761
and advanced understanding
of mathematical concepts,
144
00:07:08,921 --> 00:07:12,765
and the instantaneous mastery
of musical instruments.
145
00:07:12,925 --> 00:07:15,601
But is it possible
that the human brain
146
00:07:15,761 --> 00:07:18,103
contains even more
incredible abilities
147
00:07:18,263 --> 00:07:20,481
just waiting to be unlocked?
148
00:07:23,102 --> 00:07:25,002
The untapped potentials
of the brain
149
00:07:25,029 --> 00:07:27,529
are barely researched yet.
150
00:07:29,441 --> 00:07:33,101
Those researching
creative people
151
00:07:33,162 --> 00:07:35,621
assume that most of the work
that is done,
152
00:07:35,781 --> 00:07:37,122
that is truly innovative,
153
00:07:37,282 --> 00:07:39,274
new, original and valuable,
154
00:07:39,335 --> 00:07:41,943
is done by the part
of the brain we can't track,
155
00:07:42,004 --> 00:07:44,279
the part that
is barely understood.
156
00:07:44,340 --> 00:07:47,357
CAROLINE CORY: The difference
between the average human
157
00:07:47,385 --> 00:07:49,526
and the prophets and the seers
158
00:07:49,553 --> 00:07:52,137
is not that
the prophets and seers
159
00:07:52,297 --> 00:07:53,955
have a different DNA.
160
00:07:54,016 --> 00:07:57,792
It is simply that they allow
their extrasensory perception
161
00:07:57,853 --> 00:08:01,038
and their abilities
to be enhanced.
162
00:08:01,065 --> 00:08:04,632
And that is the reason why
they receive messages
163
00:08:04,694 --> 00:08:06,560
from the beyond.
164
00:08:06,654 --> 00:08:08,879
HENRY:
This speaks to the enormous hidden capacity
165
00:08:08,906 --> 00:08:10,489
of the brain,
166
00:08:10,649 --> 00:08:12,825
and even opens up questions
of whether or not
167
00:08:12,985 --> 00:08:14,827
our brain capacity is
in the brain itself,
168
00:08:14,987 --> 00:08:16,811
or maybe it's
outside of the brain,
169
00:08:16,872 --> 00:08:19,814
and somehow we're able to tap
into these other abilities
170
00:08:19,875 --> 00:08:21,417
outside the brain.
171
00:08:22,661 --> 00:08:24,169
NARRATOR:
The human brain,
172
00:08:24,329 --> 00:08:25,838
unlike the brains of animals,
173
00:08:25,998 --> 00:08:28,248
contains a large neocortex,
174
00:08:28,342 --> 00:08:31,251
the region responsible
for language, logical reasoning
175
00:08:31,345 --> 00:08:33,679
and consciousness.
176
00:08:33,839 --> 00:08:37,057
Many believe it is also the seat
of psychic abilities.
177
00:08:38,769 --> 00:08:42,521
In 2015, researchers
in Germany determined
178
00:08:42,681 --> 00:08:45,265
that the human neocortex
only developed
179
00:08:45,359 --> 00:08:48,444
after it was activated
by a single gene.
180
00:08:49,947 --> 00:08:53,032
Around 200,000 years ago,
say neuroscientists,
181
00:08:53,192 --> 00:08:56,035
our neocortex
was mysteriously switched on.
182
00:08:56,195 --> 00:08:58,186
And nobody knows how.
183
00:08:58,247 --> 00:09:00,264
Of course,
ancient astronaut theory says
184
00:09:00,291 --> 00:09:02,266
it's extraterrestrials,
185
00:09:02,293 --> 00:09:04,543
that beings came from elsewhere
186
00:09:04,703 --> 00:09:06,937
and tweaked our DNA.
187
00:09:06,964 --> 00:09:09,956
This is very important,
because within the neocortex,
188
00:09:10,051 --> 00:09:12,442
we now know,
are precognitive abilities,
189
00:09:12,470 --> 00:09:14,303
psychic abilities.
190
00:09:16,215 --> 00:09:18,465
CHILDRESS: If we're
actually genetically engineered
191
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:20,726
by extraterrestrials,
and they want us to have
192
00:09:20,886 --> 00:09:22,710
a certain kind of a brain,
193
00:09:22,772 --> 00:09:26,640
you have to wonder if,
ultimately, what the goal is
194
00:09:26,734 --> 00:09:30,310
with extraterrestrials is
to activate,
195
00:09:30,404 --> 00:09:32,571
really, all the humans
on this planet
196
00:09:32,731 --> 00:09:34,965
so that we're using
our brainpower
197
00:09:34,992 --> 00:09:38,226
and our psychic abilities.
198
00:09:38,287 --> 00:09:41,896
Perhaps what
the extraterrestrials did
199
00:09:41,957 --> 00:09:44,566
when they fashioned our DNA
and activated our neocortex
200
00:09:44,627 --> 00:09:47,252
was cosmic consciousness,
cosmic awareness,
201
00:09:47,412 --> 00:09:49,496
psychic abilities...
202
00:09:49,590 --> 00:09:52,925
that could potentially link us
to extraterrestrials.
203
00:09:53,085 --> 00:09:57,596
NARRATOR: If human DNA was
fashioned by extraterrestrials,
204
00:09:57,756 --> 00:10:00,507
as ancient astronaut theorists
propose,
205
00:10:00,601 --> 00:10:02,584
is it possible that within it
206
00:10:02,645 --> 00:10:05,187
lie powerful
extrasensory abilities?
207
00:10:06,598 --> 00:10:08,165
And have there been people
208
00:10:08,192 --> 00:10:10,517
who have been able
to activate these talents,
209
00:10:10,611 --> 00:10:13,019
whether by accident,
through practice,
210
00:10:13,114 --> 00:10:16,115
or by extraterrestrial
intervention?
211
00:10:16,275 --> 00:10:18,450
Perhaps further clues
can be found
212
00:10:18,610 --> 00:10:21,695
by examining
not only claims of clairvoyance,
213
00:10:21,789 --> 00:10:24,030
but the incredible capability
to move objects
214
00:10:24,125 --> 00:10:25,999
with the mind.
215
00:10:32,624 --> 00:10:35,041
NARRATOR:
Durham, North Carolina,
216
00:10:35,136 --> 00:10:39,379
1935.
217
00:10:39,473 --> 00:10:43,958
Duke University parapsychologist
Joseph Banks Rhine
218
00:10:44,019 --> 00:10:47,629
publishes a study that ignites
a firestorm of controversy
219
00:10:47,690 --> 00:10:49,723
in the scientific community.
220
00:10:49,817 --> 00:10:54,378
Rhine claims the brain
has psychic abilities
221
00:10:54,405 --> 00:10:56,897
he calls
extrasensory perception,
222
00:10:56,991 --> 00:11:00,567
or ESP.
223
00:11:00,661 --> 00:11:04,404
Parapsychology consists of five
very distinct characteristics
224
00:11:04,498 --> 00:11:05,647
that we study.
225
00:11:05,708 --> 00:11:07,148
One is telepathy,
226
00:11:07,209 --> 00:11:11,670
which is mind-to-mind
communication.
227
00:11:11,830 --> 00:11:14,748
Clairvoyance...
it's getting information
228
00:11:14,842 --> 00:11:17,843
about objects or events
from a distance,
229
00:11:18,003 --> 00:11:20,495
whether it be something that be
in a drawer in another room
230
00:11:20,556 --> 00:11:22,739
or even something
halfway around the world.
231
00:11:22,766 --> 00:11:26,852
Precognition, which is getting
information through time.
232
00:11:27,012 --> 00:11:29,855
Usually from the future
but sometimes from the past.
233
00:11:30,015 --> 00:11:34,267
We also study psychokinesis,
or mind/matter interaction.
234
00:11:34,361 --> 00:11:39,105
HOROWITZ:
ESP is really just the ability,
235
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:40,941
or at least evidence
of the ability,
236
00:11:41,035 --> 00:11:45,037
to glean information
in an extrasensory manner.
237
00:11:45,197 --> 00:11:46,780
So we're left with a question:
238
00:11:46,874 --> 00:11:49,666
how is this information
being exchanged?
239
00:11:51,870 --> 00:11:54,955
NEWBERG: From a neuroscience perspective,
there's a lot of controversy
240
00:11:55,049 --> 00:11:57,049
as to whether something
like ESP exists.
241
00:11:57,209 --> 00:11:58,884
Is there some sensory process
242
00:11:59,044 --> 00:12:01,869
that our brain, uh,
is able to tap into?
243
00:12:01,931 --> 00:12:05,449
Uh, is our brain able
to get to some more basic level
244
00:12:05,476 --> 00:12:07,542
of how the universe works and
245
00:12:07,603 --> 00:12:11,455
can pick up what other people
are thinking or feeling?
246
00:12:11,482 --> 00:12:14,233
There are studies that purport
to be able to show
247
00:12:14,393 --> 00:12:17,385
these kinds of phenomena
as being real,
248
00:12:17,446 --> 00:12:20,313
and I think they need
to be taken seriously.
249
00:12:20,407 --> 00:12:23,742
NARRATOR: While working within
the British Ministry of Defence,
250
00:12:23,902 --> 00:12:26,820
Nick Pope became aware
that numerous world governments
251
00:12:26,914 --> 00:12:29,581
have devoted a significant
amount of time and money
252
00:12:29,741 --> 00:12:31,975
to studying, and even employing,
253
00:12:32,002 --> 00:12:35,479
people claiming to have
psychic abilities.
254
00:12:35,506 --> 00:12:40,317
In August 2019, he traveled
to Durham, North Carolina
255
00:12:40,344 --> 00:12:42,076
to visit the
Rhine Research Center.
256
00:12:42,137 --> 00:12:43,670
Hello.
257
00:12:43,764 --> 00:12:46,098
Hi, I'm John Kruth, the
executive director of the Rhine.
258
00:12:46,258 --> 00:12:48,100
- I'm Nick.
- Nice to meet you, Nick. Come on in with me.
259
00:12:48,260 --> 00:12:49,434
I have someone
I'd like you to meet.
260
00:12:49,594 --> 00:12:51,177
Great. Thank you.
261
00:12:51,272 --> 00:12:52,846
NARRATOR:
John has been developing a new method
262
00:12:52,940 --> 00:12:55,165
to detect and measure
psychic abilities.
263
00:12:55,192 --> 00:12:57,442
- Nick, this is Edd Edwards.
- Hi. Great to meet you.
264
00:12:57,602 --> 00:12:59,019
Good to meet you, Nick.
265
00:12:59,113 --> 00:13:00,612
POPE:
Talk me through this. What are we,
266
00:13:00,772 --> 00:13:02,672
what are we looking at here,
and, um,
267
00:13:02,700 --> 00:13:05,025
what are you going to do, Edd?
268
00:13:05,119 --> 00:13:06,601
EDWARDS:
Okay, this equipment here,
269
00:13:06,662 --> 00:13:08,954
what it does is pick up
the electrical energy
270
00:13:09,114 --> 00:13:12,182
I generate in my brain,
and I'm able to control it.
271
00:13:12,209 --> 00:13:13,533
How do you do that?
272
00:13:13,627 --> 00:13:16,870
I mean, talk me through
what you actually think.
273
00:13:16,964 --> 00:13:20,114
I can feel the different
electrical sensations in my head
274
00:13:20,175 --> 00:13:22,526
that I consciously control.
275
00:13:22,553 --> 00:13:24,044
Like a tingling or a...?
276
00:13:24,138 --> 00:13:26,880
Yeah, tingling, magnetics,
electrical sensations.
277
00:13:26,974 --> 00:13:29,641
And, then, out on my own,
I've learned to generate
278
00:13:29,801 --> 00:13:31,459
these high energies in my hands.
279
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:34,629
And, for example, you know what
neuropathy is in people?
280
00:13:34,690 --> 00:13:36,706
Feet go numb and everything?
281
00:13:36,734 --> 00:13:38,800
I can apply this energy to that,
282
00:13:38,861 --> 00:13:41,211
and the neuropathy will clear up
in about four minutes
283
00:13:41,238 --> 00:13:43,380
in about eight
out of ten people.
284
00:13:43,407 --> 00:13:46,325
- So it's like you're activating something.
- Correct.
285
00:13:46,485 --> 00:13:47,826
KRUTH:
Edd talks about helping people
286
00:13:47,986 --> 00:13:49,736
to activate
their immune systems,
287
00:13:49,830 --> 00:13:52,480
helping them to deal
with physical problems.
288
00:13:52,541 --> 00:13:55,483
And I'm wondering what is the
mechanism behind this healing?
289
00:13:55,544 --> 00:13:57,985
And that's what we're gonna
be testing here, right?
290
00:13:58,047 --> 00:13:59,746
This is something
I can demonstrate
291
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:02,007
that really
most other people can't.
292
00:14:02,167 --> 00:14:03,675
Right, I'd love to see this.
293
00:14:03,835 --> 00:14:05,302
Okay, well, let me turn it on.
294
00:14:08,057 --> 00:14:10,849
Okay, now I'm gonna hold
these two units right here,
295
00:14:11,009 --> 00:14:12,576
and all they're doing
is picking up
296
00:14:12,603 --> 00:14:14,502
the electrical energy
in my body.
297
00:14:14,563 --> 00:14:17,189
KRUTH: So, from a scientific perspective,
298
00:14:17,349 --> 00:14:19,416
this machine measures
static electricity
299
00:14:19,443 --> 00:14:22,085
- and static fields.
- Mm-hmm.
300
00:14:22,112 --> 00:14:24,771
And Edd is, apparently,
generating static fields.
301
00:14:24,865 --> 00:14:26,865
So, if I want that thing
to go to the right,
302
00:14:27,025 --> 00:14:28,441
I pull on the right side
of my brain.
303
00:14:28,535 --> 00:14:30,110
If I want it to go on the left,
304
00:14:30,204 --> 00:14:32,929
I pull it on the left side
of my brain.
305
00:14:32,956 --> 00:14:34,873
You tell me when and I'll
pull it back to the right.
306
00:14:35,033 --> 00:14:37,376
So if I was to say right,
307
00:14:37,536 --> 00:14:40,194
you would... and left...
308
00:14:40,255 --> 00:14:41,213
and right again.
309
00:14:43,592 --> 00:14:45,199
Without these controls,
just to be clear,
310
00:14:45,260 --> 00:14:47,034
this doesn't move at all.
311
00:14:47,096 --> 00:14:49,796
If there's any ambient
static fields in the area,
312
00:14:49,890 --> 00:14:51,781
- it'll-it'll wiggle around a little bit.
- Yeah.
313
00:14:51,809 --> 00:14:53,617
One of the things we thought is,
maybe it has to do
314
00:14:53,644 --> 00:14:55,376
with pressure
he's exerting on it.
315
00:14:55,437 --> 00:14:57,470
As he increases pressure
on one side,
316
00:14:57,564 --> 00:14:59,898
it moves one way or the other,
but, as you can see,
317
00:15:00,058 --> 00:15:02,717
he can also have this effect
without touching the poles.
318
00:15:02,778 --> 00:15:03,985
EDWARDS: Without touching it.
I can hold it over there.
319
00:15:05,397 --> 00:15:08,890
I can pull it back there.
320
00:15:08,951 --> 00:15:12,744
Mentally, I'm just
changing polarity in my head,
321
00:15:12,904 --> 00:15:16,306
or going from one side
to the other.
322
00:15:16,333 --> 00:15:19,476
NARRATOR: Removing any physical
contact with the machine,
323
00:15:19,503 --> 00:15:21,920
Edd has just
demonstrated something
324
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:23,922
many would consider impossible:
325
00:15:24,082 --> 00:15:25,924
he moved the toggle
326
00:15:26,084 --> 00:15:29,243
using only the power
of his mind.
327
00:15:29,304 --> 00:15:31,504
POPE:
Sounds like you're at the real forefront
328
00:15:31,598 --> 00:15:34,841
of some
cutting-edge research here.
329
00:15:34,935 --> 00:15:36,993
Well, it's difficult
to find people who are able
330
00:15:37,020 --> 00:15:39,829
to consistently have
these sorts of effects,
331
00:15:39,857 --> 00:15:42,182
and the fact that Edd
has consistent effects
332
00:15:42,276 --> 00:15:44,401
allows us to explore the
phenomena in a lot more detail.
333
00:15:45,863 --> 00:15:47,854
Now, at the UVA studies,
334
00:15:47,948 --> 00:15:51,265
they do the extensive
EEG brain mapping on me,
335
00:15:51,326 --> 00:15:53,677
and what they've learned
about my brain compared
336
00:15:53,704 --> 00:15:57,180
to all the other EEGs is just
freaking 'em out up there.
337
00:15:57,207 --> 00:16:00,517
Uh, my brain is operating
on all levels of consciousness
338
00:16:00,544 --> 00:16:02,252
all at the same time.
339
00:16:04,339 --> 00:16:06,523
NARRATOR:
Typically, the human brain
340
00:16:06,550 --> 00:16:08,800
generates specific brain waves
341
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:11,285
while in different states
of consciousness.
342
00:16:11,346 --> 00:16:14,806
But neuroscientists who have
studied Edd's brain claim
343
00:16:14,966 --> 00:16:16,700
it is capable of generating all
344
00:16:16,727 --> 00:16:20,294
of these separate brain waves
simultaneously.
345
00:16:20,355 --> 00:16:23,482
NEWBERG: When it comes to the
brain waves that our brain has,
346
00:16:23,642 --> 00:16:26,151
we have denoted them
alpha waves,
347
00:16:26,311 --> 00:16:28,061
beta waves, theta waves,
and so forth.
348
00:16:28,155 --> 00:16:30,638
Uh, these are essentially
different frequencies,
349
00:16:30,699 --> 00:16:32,657
certain types
that are associated
350
00:16:32,817 --> 00:16:35,552
with sleep patterns
and things like that,
351
00:16:35,579 --> 00:16:37,329
but it-it's always been
a little difficult
352
00:16:37,489 --> 00:16:39,664
to know exactly how to interpret
353
00:16:39,824 --> 00:16:41,908
all of the different types
of brain waves that we have.
354
00:16:42,002 --> 00:16:44,577
GIORGIO A. TSOUKALOS:
An argument can be made
355
00:16:44,671 --> 00:16:47,506
that ESP or psychokinesis
or precognition
356
00:16:47,666 --> 00:16:50,509
could be where the brain reaches
357
00:16:50,669 --> 00:16:54,754
a level that we
are unfamiliar with.
358
00:16:54,848 --> 00:16:56,906
Not because it doesn't exist,
359
00:16:56,934 --> 00:17:00,519
but because the great majority
of people have not learned
360
00:17:00,679 --> 00:17:03,838
how to harness
that side of the brain.
361
00:17:03,899 --> 00:17:07,008
NARRATOR:
Is it possible that abilities like telepathy
362
00:17:07,069 --> 00:17:11,178
and psychokinesis are just
waiting to be developed?
363
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:16,109
If so, is ESP something
that anyone can master?
364
00:17:16,203 --> 00:17:20,021
ESP is something that everyone
has to some extent.
365
00:17:20,082 --> 00:17:23,099
Just like any other skill
or talent you might have,
366
00:17:23,126 --> 00:17:26,378
whether it be a musical talent,
whether it be a sports talent,
367
00:17:26,538 --> 00:17:29,530
everyone has a bit
of natural abilities.
368
00:17:29,591 --> 00:17:32,533
But there are some people
who practice really hard.
369
00:17:32,594 --> 00:17:34,460
And they get better at it
370
00:17:34,555 --> 00:17:36,555
whether they have
the natural ability or not.
371
00:17:36,715 --> 00:17:38,890
CORY:
Everyone has the ability
372
00:17:39,050 --> 00:17:41,801
to develop their
extrasensory perception.
373
00:17:41,895 --> 00:17:44,304
It is because it is part
of our DNA,
374
00:17:44,398 --> 00:17:46,973
it is innate in the human nature
375
00:17:47,067 --> 00:17:50,402
to be able to tap
into other realities
376
00:17:50,562 --> 00:17:53,220
beyond our normal human senses.
377
00:17:53,282 --> 00:17:56,482
NARRATOR:
Tap into other realities?
378
00:17:56,577 --> 00:17:59,469
Could it be that harnessing
extrasensory abilities
379
00:17:59,496 --> 00:18:03,331
is the key to connecting
with extraterrestrial beings?
380
00:18:05,127 --> 00:18:07,327
Perhaps further clues
can be found
381
00:18:07,421 --> 00:18:11,381
by examining ancient stories
of the Shining Ones.
382
00:18:18,849 --> 00:18:20,765
NARRATOR:
Durham, North Carolina.
383
00:18:23,020 --> 00:18:26,104
August 2019.
384
00:18:26,264 --> 00:18:28,848
Nick Pope is meeting
385
00:18:28,942 --> 00:18:30,758
with parapsychologist
John G. Kruth
386
00:18:30,819 --> 00:18:33,670
to observe an experiment
with Edd Edwards,
387
00:18:33,697 --> 00:18:37,006
a man who has demonstrated
psychokinetic abilities.
388
00:18:37,034 --> 00:18:40,118
John has brought Edd and Nick
to a dark room.
389
00:18:40,278 --> 00:18:44,105
Here, he intends to study
Edd's abilities with a device
390
00:18:44,166 --> 00:18:47,942
that measures individual light
particles, called photons.
391
00:18:48,003 --> 00:18:50,203
We have a very sensitive piece
of equipment here.
392
00:18:50,297 --> 00:18:52,130
It's called
a photomultiplier tube.
393
00:18:52,290 --> 00:18:54,633
The photomultiplier tube
394
00:18:54,793 --> 00:18:57,618
will measure a single photon
395
00:18:57,679 --> 00:19:00,029
of ultraviolet light
every half second.
396
00:19:00,057 --> 00:19:02,198
It's one of
the most sensitive instruments
397
00:19:02,225 --> 00:19:03,975
for measuring light that exists.
398
00:19:04,135 --> 00:19:05,368
It's used in standard
physics experiments
399
00:19:05,395 --> 00:19:07,128
and laser technology.
400
00:19:07,189 --> 00:19:10,039
The reason we have that in here
is because we're trying
401
00:19:10,067 --> 00:19:12,942
to measure light that comes
from the human body.
402
00:19:14,821 --> 00:19:18,323
CORY:
The human body naturally emits light.
403
00:19:18,483 --> 00:19:23,736
The average person emits
14 to 20 photons
404
00:19:23,830 --> 00:19:27,557
by centimeter square per second.
405
00:19:27,584 --> 00:19:29,650
This is very, very low.
406
00:19:29,711 --> 00:19:32,837
So today what we're gonna do
is we're gonna have Edd
407
00:19:32,997 --> 00:19:35,064
just sit like he is right now
408
00:19:35,092 --> 00:19:36,991
and we're gonna take
a baseline reading from him.
409
00:19:37,052 --> 00:19:39,511
Once we take a baseline from
him, then I'm gonna ask Edd
410
00:19:39,671 --> 00:19:42,013
to start doing the exercises
411
00:19:42,173 --> 00:19:44,182
that we were seeing downstairs,
to see if there's any change
412
00:19:44,342 --> 00:19:45,925
in our photon readings.
413
00:19:46,019 --> 00:19:48,687
NARRATOR:
In the control room,
414
00:19:48,847 --> 00:19:52,749
Nick and John will observe
the experiment on computers
415
00:19:52,776 --> 00:19:56,844
that record the amount of light
Edd produces in the dark room.
416
00:19:56,905 --> 00:19:58,938
So what are you actually
hoping to observe here,
417
00:19:59,032 --> 00:20:01,441
and how will this
tie in with ESP
418
00:20:01,535 --> 00:20:03,259
and parapsychology
more generally?
419
00:20:03,286 --> 00:20:05,278
The emission of light,
420
00:20:05,372 --> 00:20:07,113
if it's being projected
from him,
421
00:20:07,207 --> 00:20:10,858
would be a type of PK,
or psychokinesis.
422
00:20:10,919 --> 00:20:14,862
It may be a mechanism
that might enable ESP.
423
00:20:14,923 --> 00:20:19,551
And how would this tie in with
telepathy and clairvoyance?
424
00:20:19,711 --> 00:20:21,444
Well, when we're talking
about light,
425
00:20:21,471 --> 00:20:23,930
we're talking about
information carrier systems.
426
00:20:25,892 --> 00:20:27,633
If you think about fiber optics,
427
00:20:27,728 --> 00:20:29,894
how the entire Internet works,
428
00:20:30,054 --> 00:20:32,138
it's all done using light
429
00:20:32,232 --> 00:20:35,308
in different frequencies
and different patterns.
430
00:20:35,402 --> 00:20:38,737
And this is what we're measuring
in here, we're measuring light.
431
00:20:40,574 --> 00:20:43,408
So it's possible
that the light being modulated
432
00:20:43,568 --> 00:20:45,818
can be what the carrier signal
could be
433
00:20:45,912 --> 00:20:48,580
for the information
being transferred in ESP.
434
00:20:48,740 --> 00:20:50,156
All right. About ready?
435
00:20:50,250 --> 00:20:51,474
- Yes.
- Okay.
436
00:20:51,501 --> 00:20:54,252
- Hey, Edd?
- Yeah.
437
00:20:54,412 --> 00:20:56,737
All right,
I'm gonna turn the lights off
438
00:20:56,798 --> 00:20:57,589
so we can start the study.
439
00:20:57,749 --> 00:20:59,591
Okay.
440
00:20:59,751 --> 00:21:02,001
NARRATOR:
John kills the lights
441
00:21:02,095 --> 00:21:04,095
and begins the experiment.
442
00:21:04,255 --> 00:21:08,491
Edd is going to attempt to
generate energy with his mind.
443
00:21:08,518 --> 00:21:12,328
But first John will record
a baseline measurement.
444
00:21:12,355 --> 00:21:14,439
KRUTH: And you can see we're
starting to take readings now.
445
00:21:14,599 --> 00:21:16,423
POPE:
Typically,
446
00:21:16,485 --> 00:21:18,518
what would you expect to see
in this experiment?
447
00:21:18,612 --> 00:21:21,687
So, what we typically see is,
448
00:21:21,782 --> 00:21:24,524
we'll see a baseline, which kind
of wiggles around a little bit.
449
00:21:24,618 --> 00:21:27,786
It'll usually be
between 12 and 20 photons
450
00:21:27,946 --> 00:21:29,954
that we'll see
moving back and forth.
451
00:21:30,114 --> 00:21:31,956
If we get it to go beyond it
to a point
452
00:21:32,116 --> 00:21:34,517
where it's two times
the baseline or higher...
453
00:21:34,544 --> 00:21:36,944
- Uh-huh.
- ...then that's extremely significant.
454
00:21:37,005 --> 00:21:38,855
- So that's what we're looking for.
- Okay.
455
00:21:38,882 --> 00:21:41,190
NARRATOR: With their baseline
readings complete,
456
00:21:41,218 --> 00:21:44,803
John starts the next phase
of the experiment.
457
00:21:44,963 --> 00:21:47,972
Okay, Edd, you can start
your sitting session.
458
00:21:48,132 --> 00:21:49,808
Okay.
459
00:21:51,302 --> 00:21:53,627
NARRATOR:
Edd begins his process
460
00:21:53,688 --> 00:21:54,979
to generate energy.
461
00:21:55,139 --> 00:21:56,539
And, almost immediately,
462
00:21:56,566 --> 00:21:58,391
the computer readings change.
463
00:21:58,485 --> 00:21:59,633
KRUTH:
Oh, look.
464
00:21:59,694 --> 00:22:01,210
- That one jumped up to 156.
- Oh, wow.
465
00:22:01,238 --> 00:22:03,212
Now we're seeing 105.
466
00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:05,381
You can see it's consistently
at a higher level
467
00:22:05,408 --> 00:22:07,066
than it was during the baseline.
468
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:09,160
- And this is what we look for.
- Right.
469
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:11,312
And you've had nothing
on this scale...
470
00:22:11,373 --> 00:22:13,222
- Nothing close to that.
- ...before-before he started
471
00:22:13,250 --> 00:22:14,648
to produce something.
472
00:22:14,709 --> 00:22:16,075
KRUTH:
We just got a very big spike
473
00:22:16,169 --> 00:22:18,652
- into the 500s.
- Oh, wow.
474
00:22:18,713 --> 00:22:20,897
NARRATOR: The sudden change
on the computer screen suggests
475
00:22:20,924 --> 00:22:22,582
something extraordinary,
476
00:22:22,676 --> 00:22:27,086
that Edd can consciously
manipulate energy with his mind.
477
00:22:27,180 --> 00:22:30,515
POPE:
Up until this point, I think
478
00:22:30,675 --> 00:22:33,743
psychic talk was just that...
it was talk.
479
00:22:33,770 --> 00:22:35,169
But even I can see
480
00:22:35,230 --> 00:22:37,838
that that is
statistically significant.
481
00:22:37,899 --> 00:22:39,858
KRUTH: You don't need
statistics to know
482
00:22:40,018 --> 00:22:41,342
that there's something unusual
483
00:22:41,403 --> 00:22:42,485
- going on here.
- Sure.
484
00:22:45,907 --> 00:22:47,866
NARRATOR:
In a second experiment,
485
00:22:48,026 --> 00:22:52,036
a thermographic camera monitors
heat patterns on Edd's body
486
00:22:52,196 --> 00:22:55,856
and it detects
an unexpected anomaly.
487
00:22:55,917 --> 00:22:57,542
On his palms of his hands,
488
00:22:57,702 --> 00:22:59,693
you see it seems
to be getting warmer.
489
00:22:59,754 --> 00:23:01,437
And it does seem
to be getting brighter
490
00:23:01,464 --> 00:23:03,122
near the top of his head, too,
doesn't it?
491
00:23:03,216 --> 00:23:05,291
POPE:
Well, it does look as if the head or,
492
00:23:05,385 --> 00:23:08,294
dare I say it,
the brain is heating up here.
493
00:23:08,388 --> 00:23:10,555
Could this be mental energy?
494
00:23:10,715 --> 00:23:12,448
It's possible.
Some people talk about
495
00:23:12,475 --> 00:23:14,450
the same pattern on the forehead
496
00:23:14,477 --> 00:23:17,770
and on the hands is something
we see in other healers.
497
00:23:19,274 --> 00:23:22,066
I came
to the Rhine Research Center
498
00:23:22,226 --> 00:23:24,143
not really knowing
what to expect.
499
00:23:24,237 --> 00:23:27,146
I've come away
with a changed perspective.
500
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:31,951
I've seen light associated
with ESP.
501
00:23:33,237 --> 00:23:36,247
NARRATOR:
Light created by mental energy?
502
00:23:36,407 --> 00:23:38,991
John's experiment may show
503
00:23:39,085 --> 00:23:41,644
that the human brain
has far more potential
504
00:23:41,671 --> 00:23:43,588
than previously thought.
505
00:23:43,748 --> 00:23:48,668
Could these abilities stem
from an extraterrestrial origin?
506
00:23:48,762 --> 00:23:51,837
Curiously,
across ancient cultures,
507
00:23:51,932 --> 00:23:56,509
there are stories of gods
and holy figures emitting light.
508
00:23:56,603 --> 00:23:58,752
In Irish legend, we learn
of the Tuatha Dé Danann,
509
00:23:58,813 --> 00:24:00,421
or the "tua de dan."
510
00:24:00,482 --> 00:24:02,756
These are luminous
humanoid beings
511
00:24:02,817 --> 00:24:05,259
who are considered to be beings
of immense wisdom
512
00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:07,336
who are also called
the Shining Ones.
513
00:24:09,658 --> 00:24:12,692
NARRATOR: Similar to the Shining
Ones of the Celtic tradition,
514
00:24:12,786 --> 00:24:15,511
the ancient Sumerian gods
called the Anunnaki
515
00:24:15,538 --> 00:24:18,181
are described as glowing.
516
00:24:18,208 --> 00:24:20,349
In Judeo-Christian traditions,
517
00:24:20,377 --> 00:24:23,869
when Moses came down from Mount
Sinai with the Ten Commandments,
518
00:24:23,964 --> 00:24:27,114
he, too,
was described as glowing.
519
00:24:27,175 --> 00:24:30,710
Might this description be
more than metaphorical?
520
00:24:30,804 --> 00:24:32,619
CORY:
In a meditative state,
521
00:24:32,681 --> 00:24:35,622
you can actually increase
the number of photons
522
00:24:35,684 --> 00:24:37,642
up to a thousand, 2,000,
523
00:24:37,802 --> 00:24:42,296
or even 100,000 photons
per second,
524
00:24:42,357 --> 00:24:45,316
which is extremely bright.
525
00:24:45,476 --> 00:24:46,985
This tells us that, when we are
526
00:24:47,145 --> 00:24:49,136
in a heightened state
of awareness,
527
00:24:49,197 --> 00:24:51,305
in a higher state
of consciousness,
528
00:24:51,366 --> 00:24:55,218
our bodies emit
a huge amount of light.
529
00:24:55,245 --> 00:24:59,497
And perhaps that is the reason
why we call it enlightenment.
530
00:24:59,657 --> 00:25:01,499
NARRATOR:
Is it possible that,
531
00:25:01,659 --> 00:25:03,559
by reaching
a state of enlightenment,
532
00:25:03,586 --> 00:25:07,154
one is able to connect
with extraterrestrials?
533
00:25:07,215 --> 00:25:09,507
YOUNG:
Opening the third eye is a poetic way
534
00:25:09,667 --> 00:25:11,825
of saying "illumination"
or "enlightenment."
535
00:25:11,886 --> 00:25:15,329
This is gaining access
to some perception,
536
00:25:15,390 --> 00:25:19,017
some vision that is beyond
ordinary experience.
537
00:25:19,177 --> 00:25:22,261
And this helps us
with the tasks we have.
538
00:25:22,355 --> 00:25:25,690
This helps us with
the challenges making plans.
539
00:25:25,850 --> 00:25:27,859
It is a kind of ordinary magic,
540
00:25:28,019 --> 00:25:31,863
to grasp some information that
is beyond everyday imagining.
541
00:25:32,023 --> 00:25:35,758
Extraterrestrials don't speak
English or French or Chinese.
542
00:25:35,785 --> 00:25:39,278
They communicate with humans
through telepathy.
543
00:25:39,372 --> 00:25:43,524
When you come in contact
with an extraterrestrial,
544
00:25:43,585 --> 00:25:47,770
you're going to feel
like they are reading your mind.
545
00:25:47,797 --> 00:25:51,883
You'll be able to exchange
information spontaneously
546
00:25:52,043 --> 00:25:54,635
through telepathy.
547
00:25:56,547 --> 00:25:58,222
NARRATOR:
Could it be that people
548
00:25:58,382 --> 00:26:01,392
who have activated a higher
brain function emit light,
549
00:26:01,552 --> 00:26:04,120
making it possible
for them to communicate
550
00:26:04,147 --> 00:26:06,564
with extraterrestrial beings?
551
00:26:06,724 --> 00:26:10,459
And if so,
what are they trying to say?
552
00:26:10,487 --> 00:26:13,796
Perhaps further clues
can be found by examining
553
00:26:13,823 --> 00:26:15,222
how psychic abilities
554
00:26:15,283 --> 00:26:18,284
have been utilized
by the United States government.
555
00:26:25,409 --> 00:26:28,086
NARRATOR:
Washington, D.C.
556
00:26:28,246 --> 00:26:30,880
1995.
557
00:26:32,509 --> 00:26:36,669
The U.S. government declassifies
the Stargate Project,
558
00:26:36,763 --> 00:26:38,321
a secret Army unit
559
00:26:38,348 --> 00:26:40,489
that employed people
with psychic abilities
560
00:26:40,517 --> 00:26:42,934
as spies.
561
00:26:43,094 --> 00:26:46,270
The clandestine unit gathered
intelligence about persons,
562
00:26:46,430 --> 00:26:49,273
places and events
from great distances
563
00:26:49,433 --> 00:26:51,592
by sensing with their mind,
564
00:26:51,653 --> 00:26:54,862
a practice called
remote viewing.
565
00:26:55,990 --> 00:26:57,615
During the 1970s,
566
00:26:57,775 --> 00:27:00,025
President Jimmy Carter's
administration
567
00:27:00,120 --> 00:27:02,102
used remote viewers to locate
568
00:27:02,163 --> 00:27:04,956
a downed Russian spy plane
in Africa.
569
00:27:05,116 --> 00:27:08,184
You talk to any
of the old remote viewers,
570
00:27:08,211 --> 00:27:10,110
the ones
from the Stargate program,
571
00:27:10,171 --> 00:27:14,039
they'll tell you how accurate
and how important
572
00:27:14,134 --> 00:27:16,525
and how relevant
their information was.
573
00:27:16,553 --> 00:27:19,028
NARRATOR:
John Vivanco has been
574
00:27:19,055 --> 00:27:22,623
a remote viewer
for over 20 years.
575
00:27:22,684 --> 00:27:26,126
VIVANCO:
I worked with corporations, uh,
576
00:27:26,187 --> 00:27:28,312
as a professional remote viewer
on these projects.
577
00:27:28,472 --> 00:27:30,648
Corporations, intelligence,
578
00:27:30,808 --> 00:27:33,943
uh, counterterror
for the FBI after 9/11.
579
00:27:35,646 --> 00:27:38,639
Remote viewing fits into ESP.
580
00:27:38,700 --> 00:27:41,159
But remote viewing
is also kind of like the, uh,
581
00:27:41,319 --> 00:27:44,495
Swiss Army knife
of psychic functioning,
582
00:27:44,655 --> 00:27:50,001
because it kind of uses all of
these different aspects of ESP
583
00:27:50,161 --> 00:27:51,961
in order to get information
on things.
584
00:27:53,548 --> 00:27:55,322
NARRATOR:
A key part of remote viewing
585
00:27:55,383 --> 00:27:58,401
involves entering
a trance-like state,
586
00:27:58,428 --> 00:28:01,995
which John does
by listening to specific sounds.
587
00:28:02,056 --> 00:28:04,073
We have brain waves.
588
00:28:04,100 --> 00:28:08,669
And in the thinking, monkey-mind
state that w-we're normally in,
589
00:28:08,730 --> 00:28:10,429
that is beta.
590
00:28:10,523 --> 00:28:13,173
If you think about an EEG,
591
00:28:13,234 --> 00:28:14,859
there's very high peaks
and valleys...
592
00:28:15,019 --> 00:28:17,010
da-da-da-da-da-da-da...
moving fast.
593
00:28:17,071 --> 00:28:19,846
That's not a very good place
to remote-view from.
594
00:28:19,908 --> 00:28:22,258
So, when we listen
to the binaural beats,
595
00:28:22,285 --> 00:28:24,276
they move us down into alpha,
596
00:28:24,370 --> 00:28:26,037
which is a little bit slower
and meditative,
597
00:28:26,197 --> 00:28:28,539
and also down into theta.
598
00:28:28,699 --> 00:28:32,359
And we-we like to stay
in the alpha to the theta zone,
599
00:28:32,420 --> 00:28:36,130
using that tool in order to get
the best information.
600
00:28:38,801 --> 00:28:40,885
CORY:
During a trance state,
601
00:28:41,045 --> 00:28:42,945
the brain begins to relax,
going down
602
00:28:42,972 --> 00:28:46,799
from beta to theta
to alpha state,
603
00:28:46,893 --> 00:28:50,228
which is between four
and eight hertz.
604
00:28:50,388 --> 00:28:53,213
Prophets and seers
605
00:28:53,274 --> 00:28:57,050
tap into the theta layer
of reality,
606
00:28:57,111 --> 00:28:59,795
where they are
extremely relaxed,
607
00:28:59,822 --> 00:29:03,241
which allows them
to receive visions and imagery
608
00:29:03,401 --> 00:29:05,868
beyond the normal
human perception.
609
00:29:07,497 --> 00:29:10,081
NARRATOR:
While working as a remote viewer,
610
00:29:10,241 --> 00:29:14,735
Vivanco claims to have gathered
more than just information.
611
00:29:14,796 --> 00:29:18,481
He has also encountered
otherworldly beings.
612
00:29:18,508 --> 00:29:21,408
I'm at home, and...
613
00:29:21,469 --> 00:29:23,469
I'm having this crazy dream.
614
00:29:24,639 --> 00:29:27,156
So I open my eyes,
615
00:29:27,183 --> 00:29:29,934
I sit up and there's this thing,
616
00:29:30,094 --> 00:29:33,662
I'd say, like,
six feet away from me.
617
00:29:33,690 --> 00:29:37,775
It's got a head shaped
like a-a football on the side,
618
00:29:37,935 --> 00:29:39,593
two eyes.
619
00:29:39,654 --> 00:29:43,856
It's got
these sort of spindly legs.
620
00:29:43,950 --> 00:29:45,432
So I start backing up,
and I'm starting to go,
621
00:29:45,493 --> 00:29:46,951
"Whoa, whoa, whoa."
622
00:29:47,111 --> 00:29:50,604
And it telepathically
communicated with me.
623
00:29:50,665 --> 00:29:53,699
And they said,
"We are here to help you,
624
00:29:53,793 --> 00:29:55,868
and we want you to help us."
625
00:29:55,962 --> 00:29:58,370
NARRATOR:
John was not the only remote viewer
626
00:29:58,464 --> 00:30:00,631
on his team
to have such an experience.
627
00:30:00,791 --> 00:30:04,043
VIVANCO:
Now, the other viewers started
628
00:30:04,137 --> 00:30:05,469
to experience the same thing.
629
00:30:05,629 --> 00:30:07,530
And so that's
when we started to,
630
00:30:07,557 --> 00:30:10,474
"Okay, now, you know,
I'm not hallucinating."
631
00:30:10,634 --> 00:30:13,144
NARRATOR:
It is not
632
00:30:13,304 --> 00:30:15,054
only remote viewers
who have reported
633
00:30:15,148 --> 00:30:18,858
telepathic communication
with otherworldly beings.
634
00:30:21,029 --> 00:30:22,486
In the ancient world,
635
00:30:22,646 --> 00:30:25,138
priests and seers
developed various methods
636
00:30:25,199 --> 00:30:27,216
to enter an altered state
of consciousness
637
00:30:27,243 --> 00:30:29,976
to connect with their gods.
638
00:30:30,038 --> 00:30:34,573
In Ireland, Celtic shaman
rhythmically banged on drums.
639
00:30:34,667 --> 00:30:38,318
The famous Greek seer,
the Oracle of Delphi,
640
00:30:38,379 --> 00:30:42,298
would inhale a noxious gas
and go into an ecstatic dance.
641
00:30:44,886 --> 00:30:49,496
Perhaps the most curious tale
comes from ancient China,
642
00:30:49,557 --> 00:30:52,241
where Taoist priests would
practice a mystic dance ritual
643
00:30:52,268 --> 00:30:54,760
called the Pace of Yu.
644
00:30:54,854 --> 00:30:57,913
DOMINIC STEAVU: The Pace of Yu
is a mediumistic trance
645
00:30:57,940 --> 00:30:59,915
that enables practitioners
646
00:30:59,942 --> 00:31:02,768
to escape the normal confines
647
00:31:02,862 --> 00:31:05,087
of time and space
and travel to the stars
648
00:31:05,114 --> 00:31:08,181
in order to communicate
649
00:31:08,242 --> 00:31:10,534
with the divine beings
that inhabit them.
650
00:31:10,694 --> 00:31:14,763
And there, they would interact
with various astral deities
651
00:31:14,791 --> 00:31:18,267
and stellar powers
or stellar divinities in order
652
00:31:18,294 --> 00:31:23,196
to directly ask them for advice
about future events.
653
00:31:23,257 --> 00:31:27,051
NARRATOR:
Astral deities with stellar powers?
654
00:31:27,211 --> 00:31:29,945
Might the priests
have been communicating
655
00:31:29,972 --> 00:31:31,797
with extraterrestrials?
656
00:31:31,891 --> 00:31:34,392
CHILDRESS:
With these trancelike states,
657
00:31:34,552 --> 00:31:38,621
the whole idea is
to really contact the gods
658
00:31:38,648 --> 00:31:40,623
and higher beings.
659
00:31:40,650 --> 00:31:44,402
And are you perhaps
contacting extraterrestrials?
660
00:31:48,065 --> 00:31:49,740
NARRATOR:
In modern times,
661
00:31:49,900 --> 00:31:51,909
powerful leaders
from Winston Churchill
662
00:31:52,069 --> 00:31:54,728
to Ronald Reagan sought counsel
from people
663
00:31:54,789 --> 00:31:57,081
with psychic abilities
for all types of decisions.
664
00:31:57,241 --> 00:31:59,141
POPE:
What leader
665
00:31:59,168 --> 00:32:03,328
wouldn't benefit from knowing
what lies around the corner,
666
00:32:03,423 --> 00:32:05,589
whether it's good news
or bad news,
667
00:32:05,749 --> 00:32:08,592
and perhaps have the opportunity
668
00:32:08,752 --> 00:32:12,154
to try to prevent
something catastrophic
669
00:32:12,181 --> 00:32:13,556
from happening on their watch?
670
00:32:15,977 --> 00:32:20,012
So I think this is just
a continuation of something
671
00:32:20,106 --> 00:32:23,691
that has been with us
since the dawn of civilization.
672
00:32:25,778 --> 00:32:27,670
NARRATOR:
If psychics have been steering
673
00:32:27,697 --> 00:32:30,522
the highest affairs of a nation,
might they be part
674
00:32:30,616 --> 00:32:32,599
of an extraterrestrial agenda
675
00:32:32,660 --> 00:32:35,027
to direct the course of life
on Earth?
676
00:32:35,121 --> 00:32:37,121
But if so,
677
00:32:37,281 --> 00:32:40,273
how could otherworldly beings
know the future?
678
00:32:40,334 --> 00:32:44,128
Perhaps clues can be found
not within the mind,
679
00:32:44,288 --> 00:32:46,881
but from far beyond
our known universe.
680
00:32:51,804 --> 00:32:54,472
NARRATOR:
In 1991
681
00:32:54,632 --> 00:32:57,049
author Michael Talbot
publishes the book,
682
00:32:57,143 --> 00:32:59,143
The Holographic Universe.
683
00:32:59,303 --> 00:33:03,481
In it, Talbot proposes that the
universe is like a hologram...
684
00:33:03,641 --> 00:33:08,210
an image or scene produced
by a photographic projection.
685
00:33:08,237 --> 00:33:10,395
In a holographic universe,
686
00:33:10,490 --> 00:33:13,974
all the information...
past, present and future...
687
00:33:14,035 --> 00:33:17,328
exists all at once.
688
00:33:17,488 --> 00:33:19,163
CHILDRESS: Within
this holographic universe,
689
00:33:19,323 --> 00:33:21,665
your own past lives
690
00:33:21,825 --> 00:33:24,727
and future lives
have already happened.
691
00:33:24,754 --> 00:33:27,654
Everything is contained there.
692
00:33:27,715 --> 00:33:31,750
So with the ability to tap
into the holographic universe,
693
00:33:31,844 --> 00:33:35,754
you can see the past,
you could see the future,
694
00:33:35,848 --> 00:33:39,183
and you would know
what's going to happen next.
695
00:33:39,343 --> 00:33:41,260
NARRATOR:
In Western cultures,
696
00:33:41,354 --> 00:33:43,687
where time is seen
as a linear progress,
697
00:33:43,847 --> 00:33:46,098
the concept
of a holographic universe
698
00:33:46,192 --> 00:33:48,842
may seem like science fiction.
699
00:33:48,903 --> 00:33:52,087
But numerous cultures,
both ancient and modern,
700
00:33:52,114 --> 00:33:54,273
believe that time is cyclical
701
00:33:54,367 --> 00:33:57,350
and repeats itself
on an endless loop.
702
00:33:57,411 --> 00:34:00,262
Buddhist and Hindu beliefs
refer to this cycle
703
00:34:00,289 --> 00:34:01,872
as Kalachakra.
704
00:34:02,032 --> 00:34:04,767
The notion of Kalachakra refers
to this idea
705
00:34:04,794 --> 00:34:06,710
that there is a synchronicity
706
00:34:06,870 --> 00:34:10,622
between various cycles
in the universe.
707
00:34:10,716 --> 00:34:13,700
There is the large,
cosmic time cycle,
708
00:34:13,761 --> 00:34:16,887
which is then synchronized
with other cycles
709
00:34:17,047 --> 00:34:19,615
that go from
the rotation of planets
710
00:34:19,642 --> 00:34:22,375
all the way to seasons.
711
00:34:22,436 --> 00:34:24,803
So all of these cycles
are interconnected
712
00:34:24,897 --> 00:34:27,139
in this great circular motion
713
00:34:27,233 --> 00:34:30,609
which goes back
to a circular notion of time.
714
00:34:31,988 --> 00:34:34,054
Many religious stories speak
715
00:34:34,115 --> 00:34:36,723
of a place outside of time.
716
00:34:36,784 --> 00:34:40,226
Perhaps one could travel
outside of time
717
00:34:40,288 --> 00:34:42,246
and back into time,
718
00:34:42,406 --> 00:34:46,475
later or earlier.
719
00:34:46,502 --> 00:34:49,402
It makes the concept
of time travel workable.
720
00:34:49,463 --> 00:34:51,404
NARRATOR:
Time travel?
721
00:34:51,465 --> 00:34:53,482
A place outside of time?
722
00:34:53,509 --> 00:34:56,168
Could the concepts of past,
723
00:34:56,262 --> 00:34:59,004
present and future only exist
724
00:34:59,098 --> 00:35:01,173
from a person's perspective,
725
00:35:01,267 --> 00:35:04,493
moving through space and time?
726
00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:06,845
And if all moments in time
727
00:35:06,939 --> 00:35:09,089
are actually
happening simultaneously,
728
00:35:09,150 --> 00:35:11,108
might the mind be able
729
00:35:11,268 --> 00:35:13,352
to see beyond the specific point
in time
730
00:35:13,446 --> 00:35:15,529
in which it physically exists?
731
00:35:17,158 --> 00:35:19,766
Some ancient astronaut theorists
believe
732
00:35:19,827 --> 00:35:22,286
that extraterrestrials designed
the human brain
733
00:35:22,446 --> 00:35:24,938
with other,
even more extraordinary
734
00:35:24,999 --> 00:35:28,851
extrasensory abilities
we have yet to discover.
735
00:35:28,878 --> 00:35:31,128
TSOUKALOS:
In the 1970s,
736
00:35:31,288 --> 00:35:35,466
this French philosopher by the
name of Dr. Jean Charon proposed
737
00:35:35,626 --> 00:35:38,360
that each
and every single particle
738
00:35:38,387 --> 00:35:41,697
that's in existence
throughout the entire universe
739
00:35:41,724 --> 00:35:45,792
contains the entire knowledge
740
00:35:45,853 --> 00:35:47,811
of the universe.
741
00:35:47,971 --> 00:35:49,705
He called that
"the eternal spirit."
742
00:35:49,732 --> 00:35:51,874
And he said...
743
00:35:51,901 --> 00:35:55,060
and this is my favorite quote
of the entire book...
744
00:35:55,154 --> 00:35:59,806
that the brain
is the last untamed beast
745
00:35:59,867 --> 00:36:01,867
in the universe.
746
00:36:05,155 --> 00:36:07,147
NARRATOR:
Is it possible
747
00:36:07,208 --> 00:36:09,500
that the next step
in human evolution depends
748
00:36:09,660 --> 00:36:11,727
not on our mastery
of technology,
749
00:36:11,754 --> 00:36:15,339
but on the mastery
of our own minds?
750
00:36:15,499 --> 00:36:18,491
Will our ascension
into the stars come
751
00:36:18,552 --> 00:36:21,920
not through physics,
but something more?
752
00:36:22,014 --> 00:36:24,089
CORY:
We think
753
00:36:24,183 --> 00:36:28,168
that we need a machine
to make us more intelligent,
754
00:36:28,229 --> 00:36:32,005
to make us more superior
and enhance our ability,
755
00:36:32,066 --> 00:36:35,100
but you have access
to certain powers
756
00:36:35,194 --> 00:36:38,862
and capabilities
way beyond the machinery.
757
00:36:39,022 --> 00:36:41,423
The human brain has the ability
758
00:36:41,450 --> 00:36:44,276
to communicate
with other beings,
759
00:36:44,370 --> 00:36:47,112
other dimensions and realities.
760
00:36:47,206 --> 00:36:51,283
Some people believe
that the prophets and seers
761
00:36:51,377 --> 00:36:55,195
may have a hybrid
extraterrestrial lineage,
762
00:36:55,256 --> 00:36:59,216
but I believe that everyone
has this capability.
763
00:36:59,376 --> 00:37:03,612
The way to evolve is
through consciousness.
764
00:37:03,639 --> 00:37:05,872
Consciousness is more powerful
765
00:37:05,933 --> 00:37:08,976
and more important
than machinery and A.I.
766
00:37:10,396 --> 00:37:12,304
NARRATOR:
Is it humanity's destiny
767
00:37:12,398 --> 00:37:14,623
to master psychic abilities
768
00:37:14,650 --> 00:37:17,976
that could put us in contact
with other intelligent beings
769
00:37:18,070 --> 00:37:21,146
and lead
to our ascension from Earth?
770
00:37:21,240 --> 00:37:23,632
There are some who believe
771
00:37:23,659 --> 00:37:26,985
that a man who harnessed
these abilities centuries ago...
772
00:37:27,079 --> 00:37:31,306
Michel de Nostradamus...
left a warning
773
00:37:31,333 --> 00:37:32,808
for future generations
774
00:37:32,835 --> 00:37:35,919
that this extrasensory evolution
may be critical
775
00:37:36,079 --> 00:37:38,163
to the survival...
776
00:37:38,257 --> 00:37:40,132
of humankind.
777
00:37:50,936 --> 00:37:53,253
NARRATOR:
A solar flare erupts from a powerful storm
778
00:37:53,314 --> 00:37:55,105
on the surface of the Sun
779
00:37:55,265 --> 00:37:57,849
and hurtles towards Earth.
780
00:37:57,943 --> 00:38:00,836
Due to the tilt of the planet
on this particular day,
781
00:38:00,863 --> 00:38:05,007
we barely miss bombardment
by the apocalyptic flame.
782
00:38:05,034 --> 00:38:08,026
Had it happened
one week earlier,
783
00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:11,938
humans would have faced
a global catastrophe.
784
00:38:11,999 --> 00:38:15,851
Now, scientists say,
it could happen again.
785
00:38:15,878 --> 00:38:18,444
And next time,
786
00:38:18,506 --> 00:38:21,423
a solar flare could strike
a fatal blow.
787
00:38:23,385 --> 00:38:27,546
Remarkably,
over five centuries ago,
788
00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:29,807
Michel de Nostradamus
made a prediction
789
00:38:29,967 --> 00:38:31,883
about the end of life on Earth
790
00:38:31,977 --> 00:38:34,052
that to many sounds
eerily similar
791
00:38:34,146 --> 00:38:36,563
to the potential effects
of a solar flare.
792
00:38:37,975 --> 00:38:40,651
Nostradamus has made
793
00:38:40,811 --> 00:38:44,971
one of the farthest future-dated
prophecies in history.
794
00:38:45,032 --> 00:38:48,141
The fire sears
and dries out and destroys
795
00:38:48,202 --> 00:38:50,068
and desiccates the surface
of the Earth,
796
00:38:50,162 --> 00:38:52,721
destroying all life
on its surface.
797
00:38:52,748 --> 00:38:54,406
But then he gives some hope.
798
00:38:54,500 --> 00:38:57,893
He says but the races
of humanity will go on.
799
00:38:57,920 --> 00:38:59,911
And then he makes a statement
800
00:39:00,005 --> 00:39:03,489
that he never has made
in any of his utterances.
801
00:39:03,551 --> 00:39:07,344
He starts using
astrological identifications
802
00:39:07,504 --> 00:39:10,330
for places in space,
as locations.
803
00:39:10,391 --> 00:39:14,593
He says some will go
to Aquarius for a few years.
804
00:39:14,687 --> 00:39:17,354
Others will go
to the constellation of Cancer.
805
00:39:17,514 --> 00:39:20,357
It's a hint of a man
from the 16th century
806
00:39:20,517 --> 00:39:23,251
trying to grasp the concept
807
00:39:23,279 --> 00:39:27,589
of the galactic stage
of human civilization.
808
00:39:27,616 --> 00:39:29,533
TSOUKALOS:
The idea that somebody
809
00:39:29,693 --> 00:39:33,111
from around 500 years ago said
810
00:39:33,205 --> 00:39:35,688
that we'll have
to leave planet Earth
811
00:39:35,749 --> 00:39:39,101
in order to live elsewhere
to continue life...
812
00:39:39,128 --> 00:39:41,119
that's incredibly fascinating,
813
00:39:41,213 --> 00:39:44,439
because what does a man
from 500 years ago
814
00:39:44,466 --> 00:39:48,793
know about leaving planet Earth?
815
00:39:48,888 --> 00:39:51,113
NARRATOR:
Could Nostradamus have been warned
816
00:39:51,140 --> 00:39:54,966
about a future catastrophe
by otherworldly beings?
817
00:39:55,060 --> 00:39:57,636
And might they be
shepherding humanity
818
00:39:57,730 --> 00:40:00,789
until we unlock
the full potential of our brain
819
00:40:00,816 --> 00:40:04,717
and become Shining Ones
like them?
820
00:40:04,778 --> 00:40:08,630
Other extraterrestrial
civilizations are going to focus
821
00:40:08,657 --> 00:40:13,485
on consciousness, on making
their bodies into light.
822
00:40:13,579 --> 00:40:16,396
When you become a light body,
823
00:40:16,457 --> 00:40:19,157
you have access
to certain powers
824
00:40:19,251 --> 00:40:22,644
and capabilities
way beyond the machinery.
825
00:40:22,671 --> 00:40:25,088
Humanity is evolving,
826
00:40:25,248 --> 00:40:28,241
we are advancing
our consciousness, and
827
00:40:28,302 --> 00:40:31,987
it is consciousness
that directs your thoughts.
828
00:40:32,014 --> 00:40:35,748
It is consciousness
that can manage your body.
829
00:40:35,809 --> 00:40:38,176
And consciousness
has the ability
830
00:40:38,270 --> 00:40:42,422
to communicate
directly with machinery,
831
00:40:42,483 --> 00:40:46,334
anything that contains
artificial intelligence.
832
00:40:46,362 --> 00:40:48,594
There have been a number
of studies that have shown
833
00:40:48,656 --> 00:40:51,114
that consciousness seems
to be able to go beyond
834
00:40:51,274 --> 00:40:53,175
just what is in the human brain,
835
00:40:53,202 --> 00:40:54,952
and that is something
that I think
836
00:40:55,112 --> 00:40:57,788
all of us need to think about.
837
00:40:57,948 --> 00:41:01,016
What the future holds
remains to be seen,
838
00:41:01,043 --> 00:41:02,608
but one argument is
839
00:41:02,670 --> 00:41:04,944
that the development
of psychic abilities
840
00:41:05,005 --> 00:41:08,523
is going to be the next step
of human evolution.
841
00:41:08,550 --> 00:41:11,617
That unlocking these abilities
842
00:41:11,679 --> 00:41:15,880
that perhaps lie dormant
within all of us is going
843
00:41:15,975 --> 00:41:20,035
to be the key to upgrading
humanity to the next level.
844
00:41:20,062 --> 00:41:21,886
HENRY:
It seems quite possible
845
00:41:21,981 --> 00:41:23,647
that as we evolve,
846
00:41:23,807 --> 00:41:25,707
our psychic abilities
will also evolve,
847
00:41:25,734 --> 00:41:27,150
and that maybe
our ultimate destiny
848
00:41:27,310 --> 00:41:29,486
is to become telepathic beings
849
00:41:29,646 --> 00:41:31,822
like what we see
with these extraterrestrials.
850
00:41:33,993 --> 00:41:37,052
NARRATOR:
Could it be that one day soon
851
00:41:37,079 --> 00:41:40,905
all humans will be able to tap
into incredible abilities
852
00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:44,650
that lie dormant
within the brain?
853
00:41:44,712 --> 00:41:48,321
Will we be able to move objects
with our minds,
854
00:41:48,382 --> 00:41:52,342
communicate telepathically,
855
00:41:52,502 --> 00:41:55,904
and even see into the future?
856
00:41:55,931 --> 00:42:00,075
Perhaps once we reach a new
level of psychic awareness,
857
00:42:00,102 --> 00:42:04,670
we will be able to both see
and realize our destiny
858
00:42:04,732 --> 00:42:06,748
in the stars.
