#115 Sacred Corridors with Irena Scott, PhD

Dr. J. Allen Hynek

To listen click HERE

On January 19, 2021 Fahrusha was pleased to welcome back Irena Scott, PhD to “Shattered Reality Podcast” to discuss her book Sacred Corridors: Secrets Behind the Real Project Blue Book, Wright-Patterson AFB, Roswell, Battelle, Memory Metal, Dr. J. Allen Hynek & UFO Cover-Ups. This book features many photographs and heretofore unseen letters of Dr. J. Allen Hynek to Jenny Zeidman. Sadly Ms. Zeidman is recently deceased.

Irena Scott spent a good deal of time at Wright-Patterson AFB and Battelle Institute and had sufficient clearance to be able to walk around somewhat freely. She was an employee at Battelle for a period of time.

This is an intricately interwoven tale of government cover-up from before 1947 and Kenneth Arnold through the 1980s. The cover-up extends to today. Were pieces of wreckage from anomalous crafts stored at Wright-Pat? Are they still there? Will we ever know? You be the judge.

At the conclusion of this episode Fahrusha also complimented John Greenewald of “the Black Vault” for his clear-headed contemporary work in unmasking government secrets through the Freedom of Infomation (FOIA) requests.

#114 Plant Intelligence with Krissy Eliot

Krissy Eliot, author of Edge Science Magazine‘s Special Edition “Sentient Plants: A Product of Nature or Human Imagination?“

On December 29, 2020 journalist Krissy Eliot joined Fahrusha to discuss the intelligence of plants. Krissy wrote an entire special edition of the Society for Scientific Exploration’s Edge Science Magazine. Giving credit where credit is due: this was the brainchild of editor Patrick Huyghe who also facilitated the connection with “Shattered Reality Podcast”.

The article is a compendium of contemporary study of the consciousness of the vegetative kingdom, with a few notable nods to the past. We strongly recommend that you read Eliot’s article to have more comprehension of what the podcast covers. There is so much to absorb.

Fahrusha contends that the language one speaks has a strong effect on one’s perception of the nature of one’s environment. Even in closely linked Indo-European languages the presence of multiple gendered articles of speech (Italian, Spanish, and German) versus one (English) can color perception. When we consider, for example, some indigenous North American languages with no past and future tenses, the differences can be mind boggling. Fahrusha apologizes for poor accent reproduction.

One of the most impressive studies comes from Italian researcher, Monica Gagliano, who bravely spent time alone in the jungle with several different plants to learn their thoughts. However to all those researchers who say plants must have a mammalian type brain, we say, “Squid, squid, squid”. To Fahrusha, the question comes down to the difference between consciousness and self-consciousness, and that jury is still out.

Trees and other plants and fungi can be perceived to have friends and foes of the same and different species and often practice cross species co-operation. Forrester Peter Wohlleben in Germany studies co-operation and friendship between trees.

#112 The Case Against Reality with Donald Hoffman

On October 14, 2020 Fahrusha spoke with Donald Hoffman, PhD, author of the amazing book, The Case Against Reality: Why Evolution Hid the Truth from Our Eyes. Fahrusha had heard several broadcasts wherein Dr. Hoffman had proposed his controversial theory about the nature of the material world and the time space continuum. She was fascinated because his mathematically based position was somewhat like what she had intuited.

Dr. Hoffman proposes that the world we see is a construct of our consciousness and the choices as to what we perceive are controlled by our evolutional necessities: nourishment, reproduction and survival. He details how that might work and concedes that it is a theory and is willing to be proven wrong, or more likely, have his theory improved and refined. He furthermore echoes quantum physicists when he says, “reality is doomed”.

Fahrusha wondered how his point of view might affect parapsychology and he was not enthusiastic. To him parapsychology was not moving forward due to not having a mathematical theory to prove or disprove. Fahrusha could definitely see how parapsychologists were repeating similar experiments over the course of the last 150 years and not influencing skeptics and debunkers, even though their results were solid. However the skeptics promulgate a harsh materialist viewpoint despite advances in physics that prove otherwise.

#109 Michael Grosso, Ph.D. and Miracles

Michael Grosso, Ph.D. author of Smile of the Universe

On September 8, 2020 Fahrusha was very happy to welcome philosopher and friend of the show Michael Grosso Ph.D. to “Shattered Reality Podcast” for his third visit. His newest book is called Smile of the Universe: Miracles in the Age of Disbelief. Grounded in true stories and matters of fact, Michael Grosso argues for the reality of a great Mind and for the human ability to communicate with that Mind. The first amazing thing we discussed is that the word ‘smile’ and the word “miracle’ come from the same Sanskrit root ‘smi’.

Many miraculous topics were covered. Padre Pio is a 20th Century Roman Catholic Saint who is credited with abundant miracles, many of which were attested to by sources outside the Catholic Church. One of his charisms or siddhis was the ‘odor of sanctity’, a lovely smell both he and St. Joseph of Copertino were said to exude. The Padre was said to be able to read minds and bilocate.

Savants bridge the void between materialists and philosophical idealists because they exhibit skills they had no way of learning conventionally and these skills are undeniable. The Indian Ramanujan was a gifted wizard of mathematics with little traditional schooling. Derek Amato acquired high level musical skills after a head injury. Others start speaking in languages heretofore unknown to them.

We discussed axial ages and portal areas such as Western NY in 19th Century which was the birthplace of spiritualist movement and the Church of the Latter Day Saints (Mormons).

René Descartes and Isaac Newton who today are regarded as scientific materialists, both had deep spiritual influences and precognitive dreams.

We thank listener Chris from NJ for his wonderful dream UFO healing account and hope to hear more from him. If you have an anomalous true story you’d like to share on “Shattered Reality Podcast”, please contact us at fahrusha@fahrusha.com. All polite comments are welcomed.

On June 2, 2020 Fahrusha was very pleased to host Lisette Coly, head of the Parapsychology Foundation and granddaughter of famed Irish medium Eileen Garrett, on “Shattered Reality Podcast”. We spoke about what it was like to grow up with one of the Twentieth Century’s most famous mediums as her grandmother. Lisette told us some fascinating family stories exhibiting Eileen Garrett’s psychic prowess.

Eileen Coly, mother of Lisette Coly, daughter of Eileen Garrett and former head of the Parapsychology Foundation

Lisette’s mother, Eileen Coly (1916-2013), kept the family legacy going for many years through running the Parapsychology Foundation from 1970 until 2003. Born and educated in England, she was very dedicated to the systematic and scientific study of the paranormal. Lisette has worked at the Foundation since 1969 and has worn many hats, including initially receptionist in her college years, and then becoming Executive Director and finally President after her mother’s retirement. While working at the Foundation both mother and daughter referred to Eileen Garrett simply as “Garrett” to differentiate the personage from the familial connection.

 

Eileen Garrett, Irish medium and founder of the Parapsychology Foundation

Eileen Jeanette Vancho Lyttle Garrett (1893 – 1970) was an Irish medium and parapsychologist born in County Meath. Most unfortunately her parents committed suicide. This may have been pivotal in provoking her psychic abilities. She spent some years in England honing her gifts before moving to the US with her daughter Eileen Coly. She was a very popular and accomplished medium and the founder of the Parapsychology Foundation in 1951. She wrote seven books on psychic subject matter.

#104 Ben Moss: Comet and Asteroid Chat

On April 28, 2020 Fahrusha welcomed Ben Moss of “The UFO Guys” to “Shattered Reality Podcast”. They had a chat about current astronomical events involving comets and asteroids and their traditional association with plagues. They touched on the theory of panspermia, which has many famous adherants from the scientific community such as Fred Hoyle , Svante Arrhenius , Jöns Jacob Berzelius, Chandra Wickramasinghe, Baron Kelvin, Hermann von Helmholtz, Stephen Hawking, Avi Loeb and numerous others, who have pondered about life building particles coming from space on ice and rocks from these comets and asteroids. Previously, Kate and Fahrusha interviewed Professor Milton Wainwright of the UK on his ground-breaking research on panspermia.

They ended up speaking about the COVID-19 corona virus though that hadn’t be their intention. It is on everyone’s mind at the time of the recording.

Please be advised that this show was an off-the-cuff “chat” and neither Fahrusha nor Ben are accredited astronomers but rather, very avid observers. Ben is currently working on a book about the Socorro incident and more recent revelations that have a bearing on that case.

Finally Fahrusha spoke briefly about Peter May’s very prescient 2012 novel Lockdown about a pandemic in London with eerie parallels to today.

We apologize that Fahrusha’s microphone and vocal quality was less than superior but she was recording from home due to the virus lockdown. Usually she records from the excellent studio of Bill, our wonderful audio engineer. It is a daunting task to continue a non-commercial free podcast during these difficult times, but we will attempt to persevere.

#102 UFO Experience as a Parapsychological Event

Eric Ouellet, Ph.D.

To listen Click HERE

On March 3, 2020 Fahrusha welcomed two guests to “Shattered Reality Podcast”. The first was a lovely woman, “Jennifer”, a listener who is personally known to Fahrusha. She related an amazing synchronicity involving a new baby, a generous half sister, and the half sister’s recently deceased mother. At the 1:47 point in the recording you will hear what sounds like a male voice breaking into the recording saying “eemah-ho”. We here at “Shattered Reality Podcast” have no idea of the source of this voice. “Jennifer’s” uncle had passed the night before, but she says it was not his voice. This remains a mystery.

After that otherworldly start, our second very impressive guest, was Dr. Eric Ouellet, military scientist and author of Illuminations: The UFO Experience as a Parapsychological Event, published by Anomalist Books. He has a Ph.D. in Sociology from York University, Toronto. Dr. Ouellet is an Associate Professor in the Department of Defence Studies with the Royal Military College of Canada, physically located at the Canadian Forces College in Toronto. He began the interview by explaining the reasons for the military’s interest in the UFO topic.

Eric’s personal hypothesis about UFOs stems from the sociological model of German physicist and parapsychologist, Walter von Lucadou, Ph.D. concerning poltergeist phenomena and we discussed poltergeist cases for a brief interval before applying that hypothesis to UFOs. Fahrusha mentioned that she did not think all UFO cases must of necessity stem from the same source. Perhaps a few might be extraterrestrial while others might be a co-creation of the human psyche with higher forces. Eric Ouellet did not see the need for other “higher” forces to be employed, that the human mind is capable of creating these visible artifacts which can be seen by numbers of individuals.

He went on to explain how the Rendlesham Forest incident in Great Britain over the Christmas Holiday of 1980 could be explained through the von Lucadou sociological model used for poltergeists. Fahrusha asked Eric a few enlightening questions which were sent in by Maryam, a mutual acquaintance and “Shattered Reality Podcast” listener. Dr. Ouellet is currently involved in a collaborative work about Marian apparitions. He is a professional member of the Parapsychological Association and maintains a blog where he explores various ideas about psi and social dynamics at: http://parasociology.blogspot.com.

#98 Dr. Michael Cremo: anomalous discoveries in paleontology

To listen click HERE.

Dr. Michael Cremo is co-author of the book Forbidden Archeology and other books about anomalies in archaeology and paleontology.

On January 7, 2020 Fahrusha welcomed Dr. Michael Cremo to “Shattered Reality Podcast” to discuss his anomalous discoveries in paleontology and archaeology. Over the course of an hour he spoke of a few of the voluminous findings of human bones and artifacts that have been dated much earlier than commonly accepted.

Dr. Michael Cremo and Fahrusha at ICRL in Princeton.

The first subject, we discussed was ‘knowledge filtration’, a term describing how scientists react to different categories of evidence that do not agree with their theories. This affects almost all studies in parapsychology, UFOs and much of the research into the nature of consciousness.

Forbidden Archeology argues against the current scientific paradigm that modern homo sapiens is 300,000 years old. We also talked about artifacts such as lithic spheres from Costa Rica and hematite grooved spheres from South Africa that are two billion eight hundred million years old. Some evidence has disappeared from view that contradicts the current scientific paradigm of the age of modern humans.

Dr. Michael Cremo live at ICRL in Princeton, November 2019.

Sierra Nevada Mountains in Western US is a location where human skeletal remains and artifacts were found in strata that were 15 million years old. Cremo deals with extreme human antiquity and leaves the study of alternative history of more recent civilization (20,000- 50,000 years old) on Earth to others, though he finds it compelling.

Ellora Cave Temples in northwestern India may be examples from India of extreme human antiquity. Vimāna are pictured on the walls of those temples. Vimāna are flying palaces or chariots described in Hindu texts and Sanskrit epics. They may be identical with current UFOs. Michael describes three different types of vimāna of different material density.

Fahrusha mentioned that “Shattered Reality Podcast” has had listeners from 22 countries this past week on this venue alone.

She also reminded listeners of the upcoming dream seminar planned for July 17-19 with Dale Graff in Geneseo NY. For further information, please contact fahrusha@fahrusha.com.

#95 Dr. Massimo Teodorani: the Hyperspace of Consciousness

Dr. Massimo Teodorani, author of The Hyperspace of Consciousness: An Hypothesis about the Physics of Creation and Non-Local Information inside an Intelligence of the Universe

Click HERE to listen.

On November 5, 2019 Fahrusha was very pleased to welcome Dr. Massimo Teodorani to “Shattered Reality Podcast”. Later in the broadcast he is joined by Susan Demeter St. Clair, our recent guest and his newlywed wife.

Dr. Teodorani is an astrophysicist, bestselling author, and an electronic musician under the pseudonym “Totemtag”. He obtained his “Laurea” degree in Astronomy and his Ph.D. in Stellar Physics at the University of Bologna. His book, The Hyperspace of Consciousness is readable and available to the non-scientists among us and brings up a number of fascinating conjectures that we could have spent several days discussing.

In short, the discussion ranged from quantum physics and its relationship to the material mechanistic 4D reality we inhabit, to the existence of a Big Library (a sort of Akhashic Record) and a Universe completely suffused with non-local intelligence, to the concept that what we call “UFOs” might really be self-organizing intelligent plasmas.

Toward the end of the show, we were joined by Susan Demeter St. Clair and we opined about the nature of the intelligences behind UFOs. Are they benign, evil-intentioned, tricksters or all of the above. How much have they harmed or helped humanity and the Earth. Do humans have a secret agenda in mischaracterizing these sightings?

“Shattered Reality Podcast” is a free, non-commercial podcast dedicated to better understanding unexplained phenomena and the nature of consciousness. We welcome comments and listener experiences.

#94 Sociological Research on Remarkable Experiences with Dr. Jim McClenon

Dr. James McClenon, sociologist and author of The Entity Letters, A Sociologist on the Trail of a Supernatural Mystery

To listen Click HERE

Fahrusha was happy to welcome Dr. James McClenon to Shattered Reality Podcast for the second time to discuss the different way that a sociologist researches paranormal and anomalous experiences. He was the guest on an earlier show in which he discusses his excellent book The Entity Letters, A Sociologist on the Trail of a Supernatural Mystery.

We covered a variety of topics from healing to shamanism to UFOs to out of body experiences and extrasensory perception but with a focus on the near death experience (NDE), all from the perspective of sociology. McClenon worked by collecting the extraordinary experiences of individuals by distributing questionaires. He had his students distribute questionaires as well. At first most of the answers came from a rural area in North Carolina where he taught. Later he distributed questionaires from a teaching cruise ship that sailed around the world making stops at a variety of locations. The conclusions he came to were from a different point of view than those of parapsychologists, philosophers or physicists. It was very refreshing to look at these subjects from a differing perspective. Most surprising, perhaps, is his assertion that in other cultures individuals don’t necessarily remember their near death experiences as paradigm changing events that were hyper-real. As a person who has had transcendent experiences but not an NDE, I (Fahrusha) cannot judge this, but it seems counter to other research.

Much of the material we covered on this episode can be found in Dr. McClenon’s book Wondrous Healing.
