Postmortem Survival and Analytical Idealism with Bernardo Kastrup (4K Reboot)

James Tunney is author of many other books including AI-Govnerveance: Care and Possession in Dustopia, The Mystical Accord: Sutras to Suit our Times, TechBondAge: Slavery of the Human Spirit, The Mystery of the Trapped Light: Mystical Thoughts in the Dark Age of Scientism, AI-Posthumanism: A Cryptic Soap Opera, Plantation of the Automatons: Rule of an Automaticity Loop, The Mythic Aim of AI: Maiming the Mind, Empire of Scientism, and Trotsky vs Jesus: Battle of the AI-Millennium.James explores what the modern West has lost by abandoning the integrated medieval worldview that united Hebraic, Hellenistic, Roman, and Hermetic traditions into a participatory sacred order visible in cathedrals, art, and daily life. He argues that this spiritual regression, driven by scientism, Marxism, the Reformation’s rejection of image and purgatory, and the reduction of soul to psyche, has deconstructed human dignity and left us vulnerable to technocratic and AI-driven ideologies that deny the person as created in God’s image. Drawing on near-death experiences, perennial philosophy, and the return of young people to religion, Tunney contends that recovering objective spiritual reality and the full anthropology of the person is essential for resisting the empire of scientism.00:00:00 Introduction:00:05:00 What we have lost00:11:00 Marxism and technocracy00:17:00 Psychology and the soul00:24:00 Perennial philosophy00:31:00 Hierarchy and apophatic theology00:39:00 Reformation and capitalism00:50:00 Esoteric versus exoteric00:57:00 Near-death experiences01:11:00 ConclusionNew Thinking Allowed host, Jeffrey Mishlove, PhD, is author of The Roots of Consciousness, Psi Development Systems, and The PK Man.

The late Pierre Grimes, PhD, was a specialist in classical Greek philosophy. He is the founder of the American Philosophical Practitioners Association. He is also founder of the Noetic Society in the Los Angeles area. He is author of Philosophical Midwifery: A New Paradigm for Understanding Human Problems, Socrates and Jesus: A Dialogue in Heaven, and Unblocking: Removing Blocks to Understanding. Born in 1924, he is also a decorated veteran of the Second World War.This this 2021 rebooted video, he notes that neither Socrates nor Jesus wrote down their own thoughts. In order to understand them, we must rely upon their interpreters. Both men were put to death for their ideas. Both were concerned with divine illumination. He presents Jesus as a gnostic teacher, as depicted in the Nag Hammadi scriptures, whose life and work was close to that of Socrates.New Thinking Allowed host, Jeffrey Mishlove, PhD, is author of The Roots of Consciousness, Psi Development Systems, and The PK Man.

Peter Russell is author of many books including The TM Technique, The Brain Book, The Global Brain, The Global Brain Awakens, From Science to God, Waking Up in Time, The White Hole in Time, and Letting Go of Nothing. He has been teaching meditation for a half-century.In this rebooted video from 2021, he presents his synthesis of the different spiritual approaches he has studied and practiced over many years.The common essence, he finds, is the concept of "letting go". He points out that, when we try hard to push unwelcome thoughts out of our minds, the result can be an increase in tension rather than the deep relaxation that is achievable through meditation. He describes how his own meditation practice has evolved over the decades.New Thinking Allowed host, Jeffrey Mishlove, PhD, is author of The Roots of Consciousness, Psi Development Systems, and The PK Man.

Josh Brahinsky is a psychological anthropologist, known for a neurophenomenological approach to states of consciousness. He is affiliated with Stanford University and McGill University in Canada. He is author of Tongues of Fire: How Charismatic Prayer Changes Evangelical Brains and Inspires Spirit-Filled Activism.Josh explores the neurophenomenology of speaking in tongues among Pentecostals and charismatics, showing how this form of wordless, surrendered prayer produces powerful emotional release and altered states. Drawing on EEG and MRI studies with dozens of practitioners, he demonstrates that the key mechanism is not the tongues themselves but the degree of surrender, which loosens predictive brain maps, increases neural complexity, and expands creative, divergent thinking — especially when people feel connected to God or to one another. Brahinsky also traces the practice’s historical links to social activism (from the 1906 Azusa Street Revival onward) and reflects on the wider implications of deliberately loosening the mind.00:00:00 Introduction00:05:30 Background on Pentecostals and charismatics00:11:00 Nature of speaking in tongues00:16:30 Historical roots and comparisons00:22:00 Surrender, emotion, and activism00:28:00 Brain measures of prayer00:34:00 Creativity, alliance, and dropping in00:40:00 Silent prayer, MRI challenges, and findings00:46:00 Training, inspiration, and broader implications00:49:20 ConclusionNew Thinking Allowed host, Jeffrey Mishlove, PhD, is author of The Roots of Consciousness, Psi Development Systems, and The PK Man.
