Show Notes
In this historic conversation filmed at Robert Monroe’s cabin at the Monroe Institute during the Gateway Voyage, Emilio Ortiz and Sky Cowans sit down with Joe McMoneagle — the U.S. Army’s first psychic spy and one of the original members of the secret military remote viewing program that later became known as Stargate. Over decades, Joe worked with U.S. intelligence agencies on missions involving espionage, hostage situations, classified military targets, and consciousness research that challenged the very foundations of material reality. This is not a conversation about theory. This is direct testimony from a man who lived inside one of the most controversial intelligence programs in modern history.

What happens when a mystic reads the souls of Elon Musk and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman—and encounters something she was never prepared to experience? In this episode of Just Tap In with Emilio Ortiz, intuitive channel and energy reader Tiffany Lin, known for her connection with Grandmother Maitreya, reveals her psychic readings of influential figures. From describing an apparent absence of soul and an inexplicable artificial presence in Sam Altman's energetic field to revealing why she perceives Elon Musk as a mysterious gatekeeper of time, Tiffany takes us deeper into dimensions of human consciousness. We explore the spiritual implications of artificial intelligence, ChatGPT, the future of AI, and whether humanity is unknowingly surrendering its intuition, emotional independence, and personal sovereignty to increasingly intelligent machines.
In this Just Tap In interview, Emilio Ortiz welcomes Ancient Aliens contributor William Henry to explore three paths for humanity as AI, transhumanism, and spiritual awakening converge. Drawing on decades of research into ancient civilizations and esoteric Christianity, William considers a choice between remaining biologically human, merging with technology, or embracing a third path through consciousness, ascension, and untapped human potential. He also asks whether Egyptian, Essene, and early Christian mystics knew a form of transformation science is only beginning to understand, and what happens when human choice meets advanced technology.
In this conversation, mystic and Arcturian channeler Alexander Quinn returns to Just Tap In with Emilio Ortiz to explore what he believes is unfolding after the September 2026 equinox. Drawing on guidance he attributes to the Arcturians, Alexander describes humanity entering a profound period of spiritual awakening, energetic integration, and timeline shifts, with three groups responding differently to the same planetary energies. One faces emotional heaviness, exhaustion, old wounds resurfacing, and ascension symptoms. Another alternates between extraordinary clarity and deep fatigue, as if moving between two realities. The third experiences heightened synchronicities, renewed vitality, unexpected opportunities, and a sense that a new reality has opened. Alexander explores the transition from 3D to 5D consciousness, solar activity, the Schumann resonance, and why the energy shifts of October 2026 may reveal patterns, relationships, and identities we're being called to release.
In this extraordinary interview, Billy Carson and Darius J. Wright go beyond ordinary perception, beginning with Billy’s near-death experience and Darius’s years of conscious out-of-body exploration. Together, we dive into afterlife, astral projection, consciousness, manifestation, the quantum field, multidimensional reality, and the idea that human beings may only perceive a fraction of what is happening around us. From Billy’s account of dying and returning with no fear of death, to Darius describing how he lowers his heart rate and enters states that mirror near-death experiences, this episode asks what happens when we stop treating the physical world as the whole story and explore the unseen 99%.
In this mind-bending conversation, Dr. Steven Young joins Emilio Ortiz to explore Hermetic philosophy, alchemy, consciousness, Atlantis, extraterrestrial technology, Damanhur, Selfica, reality shifting and the hidden architecture of reality. Steven brings an unusual device on camera that he describes as technology connected to ninth-dimensional beings, explains how it can be programmed with specific intentions, and shares his experiences with advanced spiritual training in Italy involving frequency work, lucid dreaming, astral travel and time travel through consciousness. The conversation also dives into the Hermetic principles, manifestation, the subconscious mind, quantum reality, the observer effect, sacred geometry and the idea that human consciousness may influence the reality we experience.
