Very well connected guy, he can get anyone in the psychic world on for an interview.

Within the last couple of years, I rediscovered Jeffrey Mishlove ‘s treasure trove of New Thinking Allowed videos on YouTube where he continued (continues) to probe convergences of parapsychology/ philosophical concepts/ consciousness, and a variety of intellectually stimulating subject matters. It was funny to me to remember watching shows that he hosted which aired more than 30 years ago on late night public television (which I happened to find serendipitously on my little black and white TV set during a strange time in my life when I also crossed paths with my first Castenada paperback, curiosity about the nature of “reality” being a part time pursuit outside of the 9-5 job, partying and scraping by). Mishlove always displays enthusiasm for new ideas, and he conducts intelligent interviews with courteous awareness that translates well into an enlightening exchange. I look forward to reading his honored essay! Thanks

Sub consciousness (self) is much like a seed planted in consciousness (soul).

understanding in this realm their are two seeds our garden/soul is seeded by, one from within and one from without ... a reap what you sow ...

The Bible is a book of consciousness, what you take in there with you is what you find, much like a theory governs what you find. You look for what you believe is already there.

I like this chap, Mr Mishlove he has a wonderful playful and warm personality; anyone who presents Arthur M Young and who appreciates this magnificent mind, is OK by me!

8:10 - Who Was Ted Owens?

See this extract from the post of mine from 2013 with which I started the thread Exceptional psychic abilities in exceptional people:

~~~

There's been quite a bit of discussion on Avalon about the topic of people claiming or reporting exceptional abilities or exceptional (unbelievable) experiences -- that seem to defy all possibility of being anything other than fantasy.

Here's a start:

The PK Man: A True Story of Mind Over Matter

Quoted from Amazon:

Jeffrey Mishlove's The PK Man, the true and strange story of Ted Owens, whose claims of powerful psychokinetic abilities given to him by "Space Intelligences" were too bizarre and extreme for many to believe. When these claims were ignored or challenged, he purportedly used his powers to produce earthquakes, civil unrest, UFO sightings, strange weather events, and other powerful phenomena. Owens even threatened to down aircraft to garner attention.

Was there any truth to Owens' abilities, or was he a fraud with a knack for picking the times and places of catastrophes? Jeffrey Mishlove, PhD, a respected parapsychologist and host of the popular public television program Thinking Allowed, analyzes correspondence, interviews, newspaper reports, and remarkable life of "the world's greatest psychic," as Owens claimed to be. Whether Owens was a prodigious liar and dangerous con-man, or a true but unbalanced master who used his incredible powers primarily for petty acts of revenge, many questions remain, and the implications for the rest of us are staggering.

My own comment:

Ted Owens, who this book is about (and who is no longer with us), was an emotionally troubled psychic who by all accounts had staggering, almost unbelievable abilities that were of an almost godlike nature.

But he was not at all stable, and — like quite a few people with astonishing gifts — had huge trouble integrating into a 'normal' personality what he discovered he could do. He never succeeded.

The book is not only the story of his life and his abilities, but the story of his own battles with himself (and the rest of the world). He lost those battles.

Just finished watching. Excellent interview.

[Tintin]

Yes, Jeffrey is a most interesting man.

There's a whole bunch of his interviews saved to the library from both Thinking Allowed and New Thinking Allowed which can be enjoyed/downloaded by anyone interested, at any time:

Guess I should have searched for existing threads before I posted this interview yesterday elsewhere



right now I am really enjoying Jesse Michels interviews and playing catchup on them, but this one was new yesterday.

Also either did not know of or remember details about Jeffrey, so also a catchup in progress there.
