Behind Greatness by Inspire North

Welcome back to Behind Greatness. We sat down with Matthew Roberts at his home on the East Coast and we were treated with a thoughtful talk on a fascinating subject. Matthew worked in the US Navy as a Cryptologist for 16 years where he spent many years working on encryption/decryption communication process to catch the bad guys the world round. He is also recognized as being featured in Episode 1 of the 2023 Netflix series Encounters. Starting in 2015 he began to have a series of fascinating profound personal experiences after being on board the USS Roosevelt during the famous Gimbal and the Go Fast events. The Navy later described these events as incursions by unidentified aerial phenomena into military training ranges. These events completely changed the course of Matthew’s life, who had been a life-long atheist up to this point in his life. We learn about his journey of self-discovery, the subsequent opening up of his world view and his exploration of our place in the cosmos. Amongst the several themes in this episode, we discuss his insight on humanity’s lack of insight on evolution beyond us, the dead-end nature of our materialistic western mindset, what he thinks non-human intelligence is trying to communicate and the significance of “picking at the edges of human perception”.

See episodes with Ryan Graves (ep 141) and Kevin Day (ep 171) to hear about more experiences from other former US Navy servicemen. See also the session we had with Dr. Steven J. Dick, Astrobiologist and former Chief Historian at NASA (ep 150).

Thanks for joining us at behind Greatness. We sit down with Dr. Garry Nolan at his home in California. Garry is an Immunologist, an academic, an inventor and patent holder and a business executive. Dr. Nolan holds the Rachford and Carlotta A. Harris Endowed Chair in the Department of Pathology at Stanford University School of Medicine. We pack this conversation with Garry’s practice on focusing on the data to provide the conversation piece with other scientists and the public. We talk about Garry’s personal experiences when he was younger and how they serve as fuel to his scientific inquiry. He elaborates on the importance for him in hiding his long term intent behind a cloak of real science. We hear about his research in a Harvard lab on the basal ganglia, prompted by earlier work done with Kit Green and high functioning remote viewers and intuition. We learn from him about doing science best with asking the Zen question - so that the answer will always move you forward. And, we hear a refreshing perspective on speculation of the non-human intelligence question and that “something behind the scenes”. As a life-long question-maker, he also shares with us the type of person he honours and why. Why? Because ‘why’ is the answer. That’s why.

Garry,

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) vsthe 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.

…to be continued…

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 andSpace Psychologist a Korean Medicine practitioner, an adventurer and martial artist and also the Founder of the Cosmic Baby Academy. Iyastudies 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 researcheshominin 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 hiswhat 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 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'sEl Sistemaand 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 futuresurvivinglong 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 artistsprecognitively. 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).

Thanks for joining us again at Behind greatness. We are tuned in today with Paul Smith. Paul is a retired major in the US Army. He is most known as being a key member in the US government’s secret Psychic Espionage Program, Star Gate, during the 1980s and 90s. He is a leading expert on ESP, Remote Viewing and applied consciousness. He was only part of a handful of people trained by the father of remote viewing: Ingo Swann and he in turn became one of the few trainers in the unit of other remote viewers. Paul brings us through the Men in Black scenario of his recruitment at Fort Meade … to his time in the unit and the stories of his remote viewing exercises … to unofficially using his skills when he served in Desert Storm … and to his wife figuring out about his psychic military duties. We discuss non-local consciousness and the difficulties that main stream scientists still have with non-physical realities. We discuss applied intuition and ESP-informed intuition, bilocation and when Ingo Swann saved the world. We also learn about Pat Price (the country’s most capable remote viewer at the time and Police Commissioner) finding 4 presumed UFO bases on the planet in the 1970s using remote viewing - and Paul’s experience in remote viewing the same and his discussion of the “people” he viewed there.

See other remote viewers: Russell Targ (ep 80) , Dean Radin (ep 122), Stephan Schwartz (154, 155), Lyn Buchanan (ep163), Nancy DuTetre (167).

Welcome back to Behind Greatness. We sit down with Rudy, who joins us from his home in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Rudy is a pre-eminent expert on black holes and a world renowned Astrophysicist from Harvard, practicing 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.

Are you ready, listener?

We plunge into the vastness of the universe and swim in the nothingness and fullness of it all. We hear about blackholes as nature’s hard drive, the nature of existence and reality, his friendship with Dr. Edgar Mitchell (storied astronaut) and Dr. John Mack (famed Harvard psychiatrist) and their unique research,the quantum hologram, the alien breeding program, interaction with non-human intelligence post-Hiroshima/Nagasaki, changes in the brain post ufo-contact, and the important work ofscientist Wilhelm Reich in quantum medicine and quantum engineering.

And we only got to swim in Rudy’s shallow end on this talk.

To be continued.
