Behind Greatness by Inspire North

Welcome back to Behind Greatness. We chat with Fr. Sean O’Laoire, joining us from his mountain side home in California. We delight in the dance with this conversation. Sean has a background in math, a PhD in transpersonal psychology, he speaks multiple languages and is an ordained catholic priest. We learn about his experience living in Africa, cataloging hundreds of Gaelic proverbs, dealing with death threats from politicians, receiving that letter from the Vatican and everything in between. We talk STATE vs STAGE of consciousness, churches and graveyards, “Irishing” Christianity, his druid grandfather, reincarnation and the early Church, the banning of Irish funerals, telepathy, stories and culture, language as a blessing and a curse, the masculine and the feminine, imagination, dancing with the dead and the Lioness …. What a dance. “Remembering who we are.” Sean: · Website: https://spiritsinspacesuits.com/ · IG: @spiritsinspacesuits To give to the Behind Greatness podcast, please visit here: https://behindgreatness.org.

Dave Salmoni has been a television host, producer, zoologist, animal and animal/adventure expert. His work has ranged from wildlife and adventure, to competition reality, talk show expert and a regular on news outlets for everything and anything animal. Dave is forever that boy with a fascination for large predator cats and he easily enchants your host with his big cat stories. In his early 20s Dave picked up and left for South Africa to work on re-wilding tigers. There, his life changed forever. We talk about communication with animals, sharing a kill with a lion on his birthday, tigers vs lions and hanging with rhinos. We learn his thoughts on tenacity, self-confidence and the significance of wondering harder than being scared. Trying a lot of what-ifs, indeed.

We are speaking with Paco Calvo, who joins us from Southern Spain. Paco Calvo is a renowned cognitive scientist and a philosopher of biology, known for his groundbreaking research in the field of plant cognition and intelligence. At the University of Murcia he leads the Minimal Intelligence Lab (MINT Lab), focusing on the study of minimal cognition in plants. He is the author of Planta Sapiens. At his lab he studies the ecological basis of plant intelligence by conducting experimental studies at the intersection of the areas of plant neurobiology and ecological psychology. His interdisciplinary work combines insights from biology, philosophy, and cognitive science to explore the fascinating world of plant behavior, decision-making, and problem-solving. This is the backdrop to our conversation. Paco is a philosopher and scientist who actively wonders and asks questions about plants – and tests for them. Do plants think? Do plants feel? How do plants make decisions. We discuss how these questions bother the current heterodoxy … and the current calls for the defunding of his scientific work. We learn about “fast science”, the dangers of working for a membership, the importance of considering all hypotheses, and we are reminded about Einstein and his take on ideas vs testing. We hear from him his ultimate obsession and as a treat, his take on language. The history of science is the history of the blow to human ego. See also the episode with Dr. Vera Tiesler (ep 81).

For earlier one-on-one episodes with Nick see ep 207. With Rudy, see ep 179 , 186, 192, 195, 196, 204. Welcome back to Behind Greatness. This is the second of a series of talks where we host two luminaries in one conversation. Nick - a prolific journalist and author - joins us from his home in the UK. Rudy - a preeminent astrophysicist – joins us from his place in Massachusetts. This is the first meeting between the two and as expected, it was a fun one. Rudy unpacks his groundbreaking work on black holes as finite, magnetic objects and the universe’s outer edge, while Nick ties it to his consciousness research sparked by a shared death experience. Together, they explore: Is the universe a self-learning AI? Do UFOs shift our perception – or maybe have us remember? And is love the substrate of it all? How does reincarnation fit into all of this? Is there a feedback loop? From helical waves to quantum holograms, to plasmas and orbs, this mind-bending talk asks the big “why nots” and “what ifs.” Nick, Website: https://www.nickcook.works/about-nick...

This episode is part 4 in our series with Joe McMoneagle. Joe was a US Army intelligence veteran already before he was chosen to be a part of the psychic intelligence unit at Fort Meade, Maryland, in 1978. He became known as “Remote Viewer No. 1″ within Project Stargate. Project Stargate was the United States’ first organized research into psychic phenomena via the Defense Intelligence Agency and contractor SRI International. He is an author and also founder of Intuitive Intelligence Applications Inc. Today, he also teaches Remote Viewing at The Monroe Institute, a leading center in exploring human consciousness. We continue to follow Joe in the deep-end of his experiences. We start with telepathy and lying, language as an inhibitor and a protector, an incredible near death experience in East Germany, love v empathy, a life review and remembering, heaven and hell, being shards of a whole, more out of body experiences, losing the fear of death and dying, and reaching more people who are suffering. “As living entities what we are is perhaps the grand engineer or the architect of reality trying to understand what it is.” 00:00:00 Introduction 00:00:19 Telepathy Before Language 00:03:55 Telepathy Tapes 00:10:38 The Link Between Autism and Telepathy 00:12:50 Joe's Near Death Experience - "Which One?" 00:31:55 The Cause of Death in the Near Death Experience 00:40:09 What Exists After Death 00:48:12 Could Humans Just Be Shards of a Larger Being? 00:53:07 What Deja Vu Is 00:58:38 Continuous Learning 01:06:40 Fixing Anaesthesia Complications with Coca-Cola?

We speak with Dr. Kim Penberthy today who joined us from the University of Virginia. Kim wears many hats. She is a professor of Psychiatry and Neurobehavioral Sciences at the University of Virginia School of Medicine. She is also a board certified clinical psychologist and conducts research, teaches, and provides clinical care at UVA in psychiatry and the cancer center. She also studies and researches after death communication. She lived on a farm in a house that witnessed Civil War strife, with her mother a nurse and her father a would-be farmer surgeon. Exposed to life and death on a farm, she began at an early age asking herself and her parents metaphysical questions – long before she became a clinician and research scientist. We hear about her life changing story at the beach and fascinating surgical table stories heard from her aging father. We learn about her pursuit in researching after death communications from those who lose loved ones and how this research may help develop more wholistic therapeutic approaches to grieving.

We are sitting down with Antonio Cupo at his home in Vancouver. Antonio grew up in Vancouver and early in his career he spent many years in Italy as a lead actor in one of the most popular TV drama shows in Italian TV history – Elisa di Rivombrosa. But, that was just a start. We explore some great human themes in our conversation – the meaning of “immedesimarsi”, using “as ifs” to explore, performing the experience while reliving it, acting from pictures in your head, the power in losing the need to make money, grandmothers being shot at and a beautiful story about a guy in the rain looking for a coffee. With art comes a lot of pain.

Nick Cook is the best-selling author of The Hunt For Zero Point and has been a writer for almost 4 decades, with 25 books to his name. Nick started his career as a journalist – where he first learned to ask the question: what am I now being shown? In this conversation, we dive head first -- into what we are, living in a simulation, sea monsters, a profound shared death experience, Edgar Mitchell’s telepathy experiment while on the moon, Nick’s relationship with Ingo Swann. We also discuss imagination, intuition and hunches, running free unfettered, thinking on a ladder and discovery through boredom.

Dr. Salima Ikram is an Egyptologist and Archeologist. Thanks for joining Behind Greatness. We recorded this chat “coincidentally” on the opening day of the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM), October 16 2024. Salima graciously joined us from Cairo to have this conversation that day. Salima decided on Egyptology at age 8 and “hasn’t grown up since”. We learn about experimental archeology, puppy farms, slavery, cattle vs elephants and Egyptian cocktails. Salima brings us through her fascination with mummification, felines and their majesty, “chatting with the dead” and how death is viewed in the East. And more… A fun, magical cat … uhm, we mean chat. Or do we? .

Andrea Lani is an aerospace scientist and engineer. Andrea has had experience working with NASA, NATO and the von Karmen Institute and he is now working on an EU project to develop a leading-edge shielding prototype for space vehicles. Andrea had an experience as a young boy viewing an object in space that he could not explain. He decided to dedicate his adult life to academic and practical scientific exploration to help inform him on the technology that he witnessed as that little boy. As a lifelong scientific explorer, he elaborates on how his undying curiosity also eventually led him to a spiritual awakening. We hear about losing time, the peculiar properties of the feline, the power of meditative states, the triangular prism inside a cube inside a sphere, Metatronic visions, Dr. Edgar Mitchell’s IONS and having an Eagle Eye view on things.

This is the first of a series of talks where we host two luminaries in one conversation. Garry from the West Coast and Rudy from the East Coast and both preeminent scientists and explorers in their field. This is the first meeting between the two and as expected, they go big. Fast. We talk the purpose of the universe, non human intelligence, the question of God, speciation, artificial intelligence, “extranormal”, the re-wiring of the brain, horse whispering, spiralling brain waves, orbs, inside out black hole, electric bath. And, we end this bounty of plenty with a definition from each about the secret of living an interesting life. Strap yourselves in.

We reconnect with Matt, who last was on the podcast in February 2021 (episode 43). Matt brings us up to speed on his developing creation – building an ecosystem of football (soccer) clubs from Europe and the USA, under his new subsidiary Club Underdog. Matt is now an owner of European football clubs Campobasso FC and Dagenham & Redbridge and last year acquired Brooklyn FC, the first professional expansion soccer franchise in the history of Brooklyn. We explore his pivot from the business he founded and grew many years ago. We talk the drive of passion, the allure of the unpredictable, the magic of under-dogging, treating “no” as a driver, self-belief and the most valuable currency you can collect.

Today, we talk to the world’s only well-known “tattoo hunter”. Lars is an Anthropologist and has been always uniquely curious about the stories of and behind the ancient ways of tattooing around the world in indigenous tradition. Lars brings us through his fascination with tattoo culture he’s researched over the last 20 years with his extensive travels to remote communities in South East Asia, India, Africa and South America. We talk about the world famous centenarian tattoo artist Whang Od in the Philippines, meeting head hunting warriors, his “cabinet of curiosities” and the power of uncovering ancient truth through face to face human contact.

We talk today with Michael Cremo from his home in LA. Michael is best known for his research and work in authoring a global best-seller in the 1990s: Forbidden Archeology. He brings us through his journey of an exploratory life starting with his youth spent as the son of an air-force intelligence officer. We talk about his seminal research work. Here, he first discovered that something was amiss as he researched what narrative the world’s prominent academic archeologists were fashioning in the late 1800s. Do we talk about a shoe print dating back millions of years? Do we talk about confronting an agenda of opinions forced through the educational system? Do we talk about paradigm-shifting discoveries made in near the Sierra Nevada? Do we talk remote viewing with Stephan Schwartz? Do we talk about physical reality vs consciousness? Do we talk hidden knowledge? Do we talk challenging Darwinism? Yes, ma’am. We do. See episodes with Stephane Schwartz (ep 155, 156).

As a charity, tax receipts are issued to donors Welcome back to Behind Greatness. We are back again with Rudy. Rudy is a pre-eminent expert on black holes and a world-renowned Astrophysicist from Harvard, practising in the field since the mid-1960s. He is also the co-Founder of FREE / CCRI (see co-Founder past guests Rey Hernandez & Mary Rodwell) and also the Editor in Chief of the Journal of Cosmology. Rudy immediately brings us to his thoughts on the big bang theory, the mother-daughter relationship of spawning universes and the blunder of the current dark matter theory. He lauds the work of his colleague Carl Gibson, an expert in fluid mechanics, on helping to unlock secrets of the universe. We hear about orbs, the spirality of consciousness and being forever marked by expanded possibilities after being in touch with a ufo (“miracles”?) and Rey Hernandez’s contact modalities.

Rudy is a pre-eminent expert on black holes and a world-renowned Astrophysicist from Harvard, practising in the field since the mid-1960s. He is also the co-Founder of FREE / CCRI (see co-Founder past guests Rey Hernandez & Mary Rodwell) and also the Editor in Chief of the Journal of Cosmology. We dive into the burning of libraries and conservatories, the magic of operatic music, composition, intent and emotions - and accessing history and the potential future from the black hole. We talk about the ultimate cosmic intelligence, the purpose of the universe, the “sponsoring” of the “big G” of our universe of universes, the limiting of the size of the black holes by the quantum field, and the limitations of math. And, there’s more (as always) … Rudy goes on to describe the agreement he had with Dr. Edgar Mitchell before he died in 2016, the rewiring of the brain after the exposure of light from UFOs and a device that was developed by colleagues which he helped test “to the limits” to detect consciousness beyond the grave. … to be continued… Movie - A Tear In the Sky (Caroline Cory) - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt15120486/ Previous episodes/discussions referenced in this podcast episode with Rudy: Rudy, Center for Astrophysicshttps://www.cfa.harvard.edu/Journal of Cosmologyhttps://thejournalofcosmology.com/About.htmlPersonal websitehttp://www.rudyschild.com/List of Published papershttps://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/search/p_=0&q=author%3A(%22schild%2Cr%22)&sort=date%20desc%2C%20bibcode%20descCCRI (Consciousness & Contact Research Institute)https://agreaterreality.com/Book (co-Author with Suzy Hansen) – Dual Soul Connection: The Alien Agenda for Human Advancement: https://www.amazon.com/Dual-Soul-Connection-Agenda-Advancement/dp/0473295644/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3J7YBLDXEL5H8&keywords=Dual+Soul+Connection%3A+The+Alien+Agenda+for+Human+Advancement&qid=1706573177&sprefix=dual+soul+connection+the+alien+agenda+for+human+advancement%2Caps%2C214&sr=8-1Book: Beyond UFOs: The Science of Consciousness & Contact with Non Human Intelligence - https://www.amazon.com/Beyond-UFOs-Science-Consciousness-Intelligence/dp/1721088652/ctocEdgar Mitchell Book:The Way of the Explorer: An Apollo Astronaut’s Journey Through the Material and Mystical Worlds - https://www.amazon.com/Way-Explorer-Astronauts-Material-Mystical/dp/0399141618NASA – Stratospheric Observatory For Infrared Astronomy “SOFIA” https://science.nasa.gov/mission/sofia/
