In the first half, veteran remote viewer Paul H. Smith discussed the history, practice, and credibility of remote viewing, along with the practice of dowsing. Smith detailed his introduction to the Stargate Program, explaining that he was recruited by program officer Skip Atwater after he became his neighbor at Fort Meade. "He introduced me to the opportunity, and I eagerly accepted it," Smith recalled. He served as the primary author of the military's Controlled Remote Viewing training manual and later founded Remote Viewing Instructional Services.
Smith described how remote viewing can reach into the past and, less reliably, the future. He cited a documented session in which he viewed an attack on a US warship "50 hours before it happened," while noting that future viewing succeeds far less often than tracking present or past events. Regarding the government's eventual termination of the Stargate program, Smith explained that a CIA director who was "notoriously anti-remote viewing" played a major role. "When Congress tried to give the program to the CIA, the main figure [there] didn't want anything to do with it," Smith claimed. He lamented that many of the original practitioners are now in their final years, stating that Joe McMonigle is in his mid-80s, while Hal Putoff is 90 and Russell Targ is 92. Smith described himself as the young one, aged only 73.
A significant portion of program focused on dowsing. Smith portrayed it as a practical method for locating missing objects or contraband when remote viewing would only provide descriptive clues. He said his team used "map dowsing and diagram dowsing and decisional dowsing" at Fort Meade, and recalled one case in which a colleague "actually doused the exact location of where contraband was" on a remote island.

In the second half, medium and spiritual teacher Michelle Clare shared insights from her three near-death experiences and her work as an angel communicator. She described her NDEs as foundational awakenings to the spiritual realm, allowing her to serve as a bridge between humans and angels. Clare recounted her first near-death experience in April of 2000, when she suffered a massive seizure in a hospital. She described entering a white room where "the walls were alive and breathing" and encountering her deceased grandmother alongside a 12-foot angel named Madeline. Clare said she was jolted back to consciousness when medical staff called a code to revive her.
Her second near-death experience occurred in May of 2006 during a routine surgical procedure. Clare reported being transported to a beach with colors and emotions that were of "higher vibrations than we have here on planet Earth." She claimed her six-week-old son called to her from the physical world, and she chose to return. Her third near-death experience occurred in November of 2011, when she fell from a ladder. She stated that three spiritual beings gave her a choice to stay or leave. After deciding to remain for her children, she was "immediately downloaded with a lot of information" about her life mission. Clare survived with a five-and-a-half-inch skull fracture, missing her brainstem by half an inch.
Following her experiences, Clare began working as an angel communicator approximately 10 years ago. She explained that guardian angels are chosen by souls before incarnation in a mutual agreement and remain assigned to a single soul throughout their lifetime. "You picked them before you came here because you knew they would do an excellent job loving you and helping you through this life," she stated.
