  • The most pleasant conspiracy podcast listening experience!

    Mel’s audio production makes this show a true listening pleasure. I hope he keeps putting out public interviews.

    Would love to hear an interview/debate with Mel or Jeran and Richard Hoagland. He makes a pretty compelling case that we did go to the moon.

James Rink, James Casbolt, Alara Blackwell, & Max Spiers | The Super Soldier Roundtable: A Tribute to Max Spiers & James Rink | Part 1 of 2

Chris H. Hardy, Ph.D. | Tuning In: The Transdimensional Mind and Your Connection to Everything | Part 1 of 2
Q: Can intentionality truly alter physical events, like in the eggs experiment?
Yes, through focused visualization and emotional engagement, consciousness can influence random systems, as shown in psi research and GCP experiments, though effects depend on factors like concentration, confidence, and context.
Chris H. Hardy, Ph.D. | Tuning In: The Transdimensional Mind and Your Connection to Everything | Part 1 of 2
Q: What exactly is SIG energy and how does it differ from electromagnetic energy?
SIG energy is a hyperdimensional field associated with consciousness that can exceed the speed of light and is not bound by traditional electromagnetic constraints, unlike the electromagnetic spectrum which remains within light speed limits.
Chris H. Hardy, Ph.D. | Tuning In: The Transdimensional Mind and Your Connection to Everything | Part 1 of 2
Q: If the self exists outside space-time, how does it reach into physical events?
The self operates through a hyperdimensional energy field that transcends space-time, with intuition and intention shaping physical outcomes by directing this energy toward meaningful targets.
