The World of Psychedelic Entities with David Jay Brown & Sara Phinn Huntley

David Jay Brown and Sara Phinn Huntley are coauthors of the Illustrated Field Guide to DMT Entities: Machine Elves, Tricksters, Teachers, and Other Interdimensional Beings. Sara Phinn Huntley is an artist whose work has explored the intersection of psychedelics, technology, and philosophy. David Jay Brown has also written several other books including Dreaming Wide Awake: Lucid Dreaming, Shamanic Healing, and Psychedelics as well as The New Science of Psychedelics: At the Nexus of Culture, Consciousness, and Spirituality.

Here they share their personal experiences encountering entities while taking entheogens. They also share stories concerning the various entities that psychedelic experiencers have encountered. They point out that such experiences are similar to those reported by UFO contactees and abductees.

New Thinking Allowed host, Jeffrey Mishlove, PhD, is author of The Roots of Consciousness, Psi Development Systems, and The PK Man. Between 1986 and 2002 he hosted and co-produced the original Thinking Allowed public television series. He is the recipient of the only doctoral diploma in “parapsychology” ever awarded by an accredited university (University of California, Berkeley, 1980). He is also the Grand Prize winner of the 2021 Bigelow Institute essay competition regarding the best evidence for survival of human consciousness after permanent bodily death. He is Co-Director of Parapsychology Education at the California Institute for Human Science.

P. D. “Danny” Newman is author of Alchemically Stoned: The Psychedelic Secret of Freemasonry, Angels in Vermilion: The Philosopher’s Stone from Dee to DMT, and Theurgy: Theory and Practice – The Mysteries of the Ascent to the Divine.

Here he describes the many remarkable Mounds built by the Native American Mississippian Cultures, approximately a thousand years ago. These mounds were for purposes of burial, and also for preserving the cultural myths concerning the afterlife. Archeologists have uncovered many beautiful artifacts attesting to the skill and craftsmanship of these cultures. Newman describes the journey of souls.

Origins of Global Afterlife Beliefs with Gregory Shushan

Gregory Shushan, PhD, is author of Conceptions of the Afterlife in Early Civilizations, Near-Death Experience in Indigenous Religions, The Next World: Extraordinary Experiences of the Afterlife, and, most recently, Near-Death Experience in Ancient Civilizations: The Origin of the World’s Afterlife Beliefs. His website is https://www.gregoryshushan.com/

Here he describes afterlife beliefs in five of the most ancient and independent cultures: Egypt, Mesopotamia, China, India, and Mesoamerica. He points out the similarities in their afterlife beliefs and suggests that they have a common basis, quite apart from cultural diffusion. He explains why, in each case, the afterlife beliefs were probably sourced from the accounts of NDEs. The discussion also includes shamanic journeys and other forms of potential after-death communications.
