	Healing, Intention, & Remote Viewing
	Monday December 22, 2008

Researcher of non-local consciousness and futurist, Stephan Schwartz discussed his work on the power of prayer, healing, therapeutic intention and using remote viewing to explore your own future. He described witnessing a healing ritual some 40 years ago with Rolling Thunder, a medicine man and shaman, wherein a boy's serious wounds were mended, as an overhead mist took the shape of a canine. Healing intention can change the structure of water, and that may be the power behind holy water, he said. Certain springs are associated with healing, and there've been 84 confirmed cases of miracle healing at Lourdes, Schwartz reported. ... More

	Visitations of the Annunaki
	Wednesday December 10, 2008

Author Marshall Klarfeld shared his contention that a group of ETs known as the Annunaki visited Earth and genetically altered humans. Basing some of his suppositions on the work of Zecharia Sitchin who translated ancient cuneiform tablets of the Sumerians, Klarfeld said the Annunaki arrived from the rogue planet Niburi, which is on a 3600 year orbit in our solar system. As they needed gold to repair their planet's atmosphere, the Annunaki decided to alter Homo erectus into a new species-- Homo sapiens, so they could serve as miners for them, he explained. ... More

	The Human Brain
	Monday February 25, 2008

Neuroscientist Dr. Sam Wang discussed the human brain and how it's wired to experience various phenomena. Made of 3 lbs. of tissue with 100 billion neurons, the brain acts as an information processing device and filter.The truth is, we use all parts of our brain, not just 10% of it (a myth propagated by Dale Carnegie), he noted. There is evidence that some types of criminals have had brain injuries to their prefrontal cortex which regulates self-control, he reported. Scans have also revealed brain differences between professional and amateur musicians-- the amateurs show more generalized activity in the brain, while professionals exhibit smaller, more localized areas of focus. Near-death experiences might be related to a lack of oxygen in the brain, he suggested, noting that mountaineers often describe unusual sensations at high altitudes, such as seeing light coming out of their body and 'sensing a presence.' There is not strong evidence that supplements such as gingk ... More

	Invisibility & J.C.
	Friday October 20, 2006

Filling in for George Noory, Art Bell hosted a night of Open Lines with a special emphasis on the topic of invisibility and what callers would do if they could be invisible. Tim from Tempe suggested the United States could use invisibility to hunt down Osama bin Laden and members of the al Qaeda terrorist organization. Art pointed out that terrorists could also use the technology to launch more devastating attacks against us. John from Long Island said if he were invisible, he'd visit the Playboy Mansion. Frequent caller and self-proclaimed 'God's ten-star general in the war against media pornography,' J.C. phoned in to sound off on a variety of topics. J.C. rallied against Halloween, warned about 'lesbian Tupperware parties,' and suggested Hawaii was punished by God with earthquakes because of exotic dancing. During J.C.'s 18-minute rant, Art allowed other callers to speak with him (at their own risk, of course). ... More

	Climate Change
	Friday March 3, 2006

During the first half of Friday's program, Art Bell talked with Dr. Roy Spencer (ecoenquirer.com - environmental satire/fake news) about climate change and Jim Hansen, the climate scientist who claims to have been censored by NASA because of his views on global warming. Spencer, who has worked with NASA for the last 20 years, disagreed with Hansen's hypothesis that mankind is mostly responsible for global climate change, though he suggested that man's activity could account for as much as half. The rest can be explained by natural cycles, Spencer said.He pointed out that natural circulation shifts are probably to blame for the melting of the North Polar ice caps. Spencer also commented on last year's record-breaking hurricane season, which was likely the result of "rapid deepening cycles" rather than anything man has done to the climate, he remarked. Spencer expressed skepticism about what we could know about past climates by studying ice core samples, and said 'feedbacks' have ... More
