D. W. Pasulka: Could We Become Ultra-Human? UFOs, A.I. & Our Evolution
A century ago, a Jesuit priest predicted that humanity would evolve into something he called the "ultra-human." Tami Simon speaks with religious studies scholar D.W. Pasulka—author of The Others: UFOs, AI, and the Secret Forces Guiding Human Destiny—about why that prediction looks eerily prescient today, the startling pattern match between angel encounters and UFO reports, and what it means to relate to AI as a tool, not a companion.This conversation offers genuine transmission, not just concepts about awakening, but the palpable presence of realized teachers exploring the growing edge of spiritual understanding together, and originally aired on Sounds True One.Insights at the Edge is supported by Omega Institute, a global gathering hub for lifelong learning and spiritual exploration.

Phenomena | Season 1, Finale: Not a Machine but a Flame [Takeover]
What is the "energy" in energy healing? Healers channel it. Patients reach for it. Ancient healing traditions built entire systems around it, and modern researchers are working to study it. But what is energy—biologically, physically, measurably…but also spiritually, and how does it move through the body to influence health and healing?In this special feed takeover, we’re bringing you the season finale of Phenomena: The Science and Stories of Energy Healing, in which host Ivy Ross brings together three renowned scientists whose visions, taken together, begin to answer that question:Martin Picard, PhD, of Columbia University, has spent his career studying mitochondria, the body's cellular power sources, and has found them far more connected to our inner experience and consciousness than biomedicine ever assumed, and likely far more central to how we heal.Richard Hammerschlag, PhD, co-authored the paper that helped define the modern science of the biofield: the organizing fields of energy and information that operate within the body and extend outward from it, echoing the nested qi fields of older healing traditions.Neil Theise, MD, of NYU, helped identify the interstitium, a major recent discovery of a fluid-filled network running throughout the body that may explain how signals fundamental to health and healing actually travel.Together, these three voices offer a compelling, deeply human vision of the body and mind not as a machine, but as a dynamic energetic ecosystem.To close out the season, Ivy and researcher Meredith Sprengel also welcome special guest Jonathan Cohen, co-creator and executive producer of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, to help land these big ideas about energy, healing, and life.This episode marks the finale of Phenomena's first season.
