In the first half, researcher and author Michael Cremo discussed his latest work on consciousness and intriguing discoveries challenging conventional paleontology. A focal point of the conversation was the recent discovery of a species of pachycephalosaurid dinosaurs in Montana, known for their distinctive domed skulls. These herbivorous dinosaurs measured about ten feet long and lived approximately 75 million years ago, before being wiped out by the asteroid impact near the Yucatan Peninsula. Cremo challenged the long-held belief that humans and dinosaurs never coexisted. He cited evidence of human-like footprints dating back to the Cretaceous period and described a "Jurassic dinosaur bone... with cut marks... like somebody had taken some sharp instrument and used it to strip the flesh off this dinosaur bone." These findings suggest a possible overlap between humans and dinosaurs, a notion often dismissed by mainstream science.
Currently involved in the Temple of the Vedic Planetarium project in India, Cremo said he is developing exhibits that explore concepts such as cyclic time and the soul's journey through different bodies and planetary systems. He emphasized the need for new explanations of human origins that incorporate the concept of consciousness. Having recently attended the Science of Consciousness Conference in Barcelona, he quoted one scientist from the conference who likened theories of consciousness to "toothbrushes," noting, "Everybody has one, but nobody seems to want to use the other person's," highlighting the fragmented and inconclusive nature of current scientific understanding.
Cremo argued that ancient civilizations had a sophisticated grasp of consciousness and the self, distinct from the physical body. He pointed out that many ancient texts, such as the Vedic scriptures, describe a multidimensional universe with conscious selves transmigrating through various planes of existence. "In the Vedic texts," he noted, "they speak of 400,000 human-like species scattered throughout the universe, some with amazing powers and abilities beyond what we are able to accomplish." They also indicate there have been interactions between these entities and humans for vast periods of time.

In the latter half, remote viewing instructor Michelle Freed spoke about the practice and potential of remote viewing —a psychic or intuitive ability to perceive information beyond the reach of the normal senses, with applications ranging from solving cold cases to personal decision-making. She characterized herself as a "skeptical believer" drawn to remote viewing's experimental and testable basis. She explained that remote viewing taps into intuition, akin to a "gut feeling," which many people experience but often dismiss. Highlighting the brain's role in remote viewing, she noted that the left brain's emphasis on logic and pattern recognition can hinder accuracy.
Regarding the mysterious interstellar object, 3I/ATLAS, her students remote viewed it and described it as a "man-made" object with "biological" connections. Freed also detailed the learning process and how her six-week course prepares students to be operational remote viewers. She stressed the importance of letting go of ego and not overthinking during sessions. According to Freed, remote viewing can be applied to the past, present, and future, helping to solve historical mysteries, locate missing persons, and even forecast events.
Remote viewing is a skill accessible to most people, with varying degrees of natural aptitude, akin to learning an instrument, Freed reported. Addressing the challenges of remote viewing, she recounted instances where sessions revealed unexpected or controversial information, such as a missing child case where investigators were resistant to remote viewing insights, and an unsettling experience involving a session on an alleged UFO crash, where her internal "Jiminy Cricket" voice shifted ominously, prompting her to stop. She also confirmed the use of remote viewing for quick binary decision-making scenarios, whether it's stock market moves or even choosing what to wear.
