Jeffrey Mishlove is the New Thinking Allowed host, author of The Roots of Consciousness, Psi Development Systems, and The PK Man. He is the recipient of the only doctoral diploma in "Parapsychology" ever awarded by an accredited university which was at the University of California, Berkeley, 1980. Between 1986 and 2002 he hosted and co-produced the original Thinking Allowed public television series, and is also past-president of the Intuition Network. This man is a legend in the world of consciousness and when I interviewed a few of my previous guests on Gateways, a number of them mentioned his name time and time again. When I went down the New Thinking Allowed rabbit hole, I was surprised to see who he had interviewed (from Ram Dass, and Terrance McKenna to name a few) and also the way he interviewed his audience, often diving into a diverse set of topics in a deep and thoughtful way. We talk about the following and much more: ✅ Some major themes that have emerged over the years in the world of psychic phenomenon ✅ Why he says there are many “flowers of consciousness”, but not enough written about the roots of consciousness ✅ What role do indigenous cultures play in the modern world today ✅ What the Egyptian healing temples are ✅ What his perspective is on the future of humanity and consciousness ✅ The “PK man” and some of his research and discoveries This man is truly a legend.
