Ep. 1 | SCIENCE AND SPIRITUALITY

How is Science, which has historically focused on materiality, investigating phenomena like telepathy, psychokinesis, and mediumship? Discover the promising results of Parapsychology that challenge our understanding of the brain and the world.

Ep. 2 | TELEPATHY

How can we explain those uncanny moments when we think of someone, and they reach out to us by phone or message at that exact time? Can university researchers demonstrate a connection between two individual consciousnesses, separated by hundreds or thousands of miles?

Ep. 3 | CLAIRVOYANCE AND PRECOGNITION

Is it possible to capture events happening miles away or foresee the future? Discover how the CIA investigated and used psychic abilities, such as clairvoyance and precognition, for espionage during the Cold War. Delve into the findings of more recent studies as well.

Ep. 16 | EVOLUTIONARY TRAJECTORY

Human beings appear to be on an upward evolutionary trajectory. Science can and should help us understand and enhance this journey. If we can control our actions through thought, doesn't that make us truly responsible for everything that happens to us?

Ep. 13 | PAST LIVES

Some children claim to remember past lives, displaying behaviors, abilities, and preferences unusual for their age. In some cases, scientists have verified that the individuals described by these children existed with the reported traits. But are these memories genuine?

Ep. 9 | OUT-OF-BODY EXPERIENCES

Many people report the sensation of floating above their bodies, observing themselves from an external perspective. Neuroscientists have identified the conditions under which these experiences occur, and the brain regions involved. But is everything truly explained?

Ep. 10 | MEDIUMSHIP

Mediums claim to communicate with spiritual beings. Is the information they convey truly accurate and specific? Rigorous studies investigate this question while also exploring the neurobiological, psychological, and genetic bases of mediumship.

Ep. 12 | REGRESSION THERAPY

Can current phobias, traumas, and emotional difficulties originate from alleged past lives? Can revisiting these past experiences provide relief? Are the reported improvements from this therapy supported by scientific evidence?

Ep. 11 | MEDIUMSHIP EXPERIENCES

Mediums channel messages through psychography and incorporation, while purported spiritual beings use electronic devices like radios and computers to communicate. Is it possible to establish a connection between the material and spiritual worlds?

Ep. 8 | NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCES

People who have nearly died often describe seeing their own body from above, traveling through a tunnel, meeting beings of light and love, and watching a “movie” of their lives. How can such vivid and complex experiences happen when the brain is severely compromised?
