In the first half, George J. Haas, the founder and lead investigator of the Cydonia Institute, joined Richard Syrett to discuss intriguing Martian anomalies. Haas focused on a square-shaped structure within a large crater in the Arabia Terra region of Mars. This structure is a roughly one-mile-wide square foundation with walls estimated to be 20 to 50 feet high. It exhibits precise 90-degree angles and a distinctive north-south diamond orientation, resting defensively on a ridge within a heavily cratered and eroded terrain. Haas pointed out the significance of this geometry: "You don't normally see something that would come up naturally... like that," he explained.
He further described the site as resembling a fortress or walled city, noting additional quadrilateral features nearby, including four aligned mounds. Haas believes these features suggest intentional design rather than a natural formation. His investigative team referenced multiple high-resolution images spanning over two decades—from 2001 to 2022—captured by NASA's Mars Global Surveyor and Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. Haas claimed these images demonstrate the structure's persistence across seasons and years, effectively ruling out illusions caused by lighting or shadows. "The structure seems to be consistent... just sterile," he said.
In a broader context, Haas drew parallels between the Martian structure and terrestrial archaeological sites. He cited indigenous square-walled earthworks in Ohio, the "White City" ruins in Honduras discovered using LIDAR, and the clifftop fortress of Masada in Israel, all sharing similar geometric layouts and defensive ridge placements. "It just seems to be over and over and over, very repetitive," Haas noted, suggesting a possible shared tradition that might link Martian and Earth civilizations.

In the second half, author and psychotherapist Linda Yael Schiller described her methods of dreamwork and trauma treatment that help people connect with their ancestors. With over 40 years as a psychotherapist and a professor emeritus at Boston University, Schiller explored how dreams serve as a conduit for understanding and healing trauma passed down through generations. She opened by explaining the phrase "we are the dreams of our ancestors," clarifying that "dream" refers both to literal dreams and the legacies ancestors envisioned for their descendants. "We are living the life that they dreamed forward in one way, shape, or form," she claimed.
She insisted epigenetics are a key mechanism for transmitting trauma and resilience across generations. "When someone experiences difficult, traumatic events… their physiological biochemistry changes… and this gets passed on at a physical, physiological level from generation to generation," Schiller explained. Dreams, she said, reveal these inherited wounds through multiple layers of meaning. They can process recent personal experiences, childhood memories, and collective family or cultural histories simultaneously. Schiller distinguished between ordinary dream images and "visitation" dreams, where the presence of a deceased loved one is tangibly felt.
She also emphasized the importance of keeping a dream journal to capture fleeting details, and recommended working with others in dream groups to unpack complex symbols. "Trying to unpack and get all the layers of meaning of our own dream is kind of like trying to see the back of your own head without a mirror," she explained.
