For Rudy, part 1, please have a listen to episode #179.
 
Welcome back to Behind Greatness. We are back 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.
 
We begin in the deep end with Rudy on this talk. We discuss his research experience and scientific exploration and the modern realities of getting ahead of the current science. He describes how the current belief in dark matter is incorrect, his discovery of the cluster of planets, the importance of MECOs (magnetospheric eternally collapsing objects) vs the classical definition of black holes. And that’s just the start. We discuss his friend’s (astronaut) Edgar Mitchell’s mystical experience in space in the 1970s, his desire to get NASA explore this with him, the experience of shared animal and human consciousness in space, our thoughts in the quantum field and the importance of empathy as a driver for the universe. We discuss Rudy’s desire for academics to mathematically study the lights emitted by ufos and for establishing intellectual academic research studies in this field, his belief in non-human intelligence and the wish that we open our minds to the wisdom of the universe.

Thanks for stopping by at Behind Greatness. Today we’re having a chat with Dr Iya Whiteley. She is currently the Director for the Centre for Space Medicine in London. Iya is an Aviation and Space Psychologist a Korean Medicine practitioner, an adventurer and martial artist and also the Founder of the Cosmic Baby Academy. Iya studies what motivates people to go beyond the edge of their capabilities, researching professional intuition. Her work focuses on pilots and astronauts to "hear their thinking”. We learn about childhood innocence and the astronaut, the significance of coincidences, the shattering of beliefs with the experience of space travel, ghosts in the cockpit, plonking to earth and fragility. And, she brings us through the cosmic connection with the baby’s experience and her desire to create a language for babies and parents not bound by linguistic parameters. A Searcher without needing to prove a point.
 
Proposing a way forward.
 
Have a listen to Diana Pasulka (ep 142) and former Navy fighter pilot, Ryan Graves (ep 142).

Welcome back to Behind Greatness. We have a chat today with Michael from his home in Butte, Montana. Michael is a professor of biological anthropology at Montana Technological University in Butte where he actively researches hominin evolutionary anatomy, human variation, archaeology, biomedicine, and the UFO phenomenon. His research examines the premise that ‘aliens’ may be our human descendants, returning from the future to visit and study their own hominin evolutionary past. He brings us through his early fascination with the unknown as a young boy and his personal follow through on his what ifs straight into a life in anthropology – and back beyond. We learn about his experience holding ancient skulls, non-local consciousness and the question on whether or not rocks and mountains are ‘alive’. We talk manufactured stigma, telepathic downloads and the support of his university in his quest to investigate the ufo question with both a scientific fastidiousness and an open-minded viewpoint of the world informed by his own mystical experiences.
Straight-up, straight-talk.
See our talks with Archeologist Dr. Vera Tiesler (ep 81) and world renowned Paleontologist Jack Horner (p 158) …. And Jeffrey Kripal (ep 118).

Welcome back to Behind Greatness. We sit down with Fr. Francis today who joins us from Molise, Italy. Fr. Francis is an author, a scholar, an expert on Tibetan Buddhism an alchemist and an artist. He lives a life of science and spirituality and we discuss how alchemy plays an important part in his life as a reflection of that balance. We dive into languages and dialects and their interconnectivity to geography and culture, the trek of the snow leopard and a discussion on the most important laboratory on earth. We hear about his mystical experiences as a young man and the wonder that has pushed him since. We learn about his searching for those in Tibet who have experienced the actual dissolution of their physical body and the manifesting of their light body – the so-called rainbow body. And we learn about the wisdom collected along the way.

Welcome back to Behind Greatness. We are honoured today to be speaking with Pacho Flores from Valencia, Spain, in his first interview in English. A native of San Cristobal, Venezuela and an early student of El Sistema, Pacho is a globally recognized trumpeter. He is also a leader in the blending of Latin American sounds in his compositions, with composers drafting pieces explicitly for his style. He is also the lead artist in residence with the world's leading brass instrument manufacturer Stomvi. He hear about his thoughts on genius v crazy, investing for quality, the miracle of Jose Antonio Abreu's El Sistema and the joy that the Southern Hemisphere brings to the world (of music). We learn about the trumpet as the big protagonist in music and Latin American sound, the joy and the sorrow it emotes and his personal/professional mission to show Latin culture through his repertoire. We discuss why music is "the queen of the arts", the role of empathy in music and why dreaming for Pacho is pivotal in creating pathways. 
 
Our warmest abrazo to our friend Dr. Vera Tiesler (ep 81) and a tip of the hat to Joan Koenig (ep 79) and Wynton Marsalis (ep126).

Thanks for joining us again at Behind Greatness. We chat with Eric Wargo today who lives in the Washington DC area. Eric is a science writer with a PhD in Anthropology working for government institutes conducting archaeology, psychology, and neuroscience research. He is a writer and an author and is well known for writing about dreaming, creativity and precognition. We delve immediately into the "long self" and exploring the idea of connecting to our future surviving long self and how dreams are about our future thoughts on experiences. We learn about his early precognitive dream experiences and the personal ufo sighting that fired him up - and his new intellectual and creative path that ensued. We discuss art and literature as prophetic and how artists borrow from other artists precognitively. And for fun, we talk about his developing theory on inspiration actually being precognition.  
A thanks to Jeffrey Kripal (ep 118) and Diana Pasulka (ep 142).
