Harvey Weinstein, Brett Ratner, Louis CK and James Toback did not respect it.

We spent more than one third of our lives alseep... And every night we have have an average of 5-8 dreams (althoug most people do not remember much of them!)

In this illuminating and powerful talk, Dr. Susan will unlock the mystery of why people dont get what they want in relationships, and give audiences the tools to enjoy the process of dating and experience sexual fulfillment! Many people think they can get what they want in relationships from changing their appearance, or pleasing the other person, trying to be sexier or even just from changing their partner. This approach simply doesnt work!!! We need to discover whats right for us and learn how to stand up for ourselves There is a lot of pressure on all sides, and a lot of people who are overly picky and judgmental towards themselves and others.

Whether we realize it or not, we have all come into contact with narcissists and control freaks- People who seek to manipulate us, control us, and tell us what to do - usually for their own personal gain or to satisfy their own needs. Often we don't see anything wrong with these behaviors, having grown up around family and friends who exhibit these traits. Today, social psychologist Dr. Kelly will discuss the steps to identifying whether people in your life are narcissists or control freaks (there IS a difference!) and help empower listeners with tools to liberate themselves from the negative influence of these energies. We will talk about the rising trends in narcissism among young people (thanks in part to changes in our society like the influx of social media) as well as why narcissists seem to attract empaths, and why control freaks tend to attract people with low- self esteem.

How would the existence of a multiverse affect our understandings of consciousness? Dr. Damer will also discuss his new "Hot Spring Origin of Life" theory!

As the High Holiday of the Cannabis Calendar (4/20!) is upon us, Dr. Kelly invites NORMLs Deputy Director Paul Armentano to share with us his thoughts on the current state of cannabis legalization, policy and scientific efficacy in the US in 2017! What does this year hold for legal cannabis in America? Remember that 4-19 is Take Action Day for cannabis reform day, and you can find out more here: norml.org/act While more Americans than ever before favor the legalization of both recreational and medical cannabis, and over 30 states currently have legal medical dispensary systems, cannabis remains firmly on the DEAs Federal Schedule 1, classified to have no accepted medical value. Adding to this confusion is our new President and Attorney General offering confusing messages about the plant, and about federal involvement in state sanctioned marijuana programs. Today, Mr. Armentano addresses what he describes as the ignorance and political apathy on the part of lawmakers, and political inertia that continues to ma

Today visionary thinker, futurist and filmmaker Mitch Schultz joins Dr. Kelly to explore humanity as we approach the technological singularity. What is the singularity, and what does it mean for humanity? Explore a transdisciplinary approach at the intersection of the arts, cognitive psychology, deep learning, and philosophy. Guided by Consciousness, Evolution, and Story. Beginning with what conscious state of being (terrestrial and universal) is perceiving. Followed the one constant we can all agree on (or perceive), everything goes through a change process. Lastly, what is the biological/mythological codification that continually unfolds a more complex iteration of reality.Humanity sits poised for a momentous leap in consciousness. Our technology allows us to see further and deeper with every novel invention. At the same time we perceive only a fraction of the universe, and are reminded of our minuscule place in the cosmos. Our language minimizes possibilities, and the potential evolutionary projection.

This week, Carl Johan Calleman returns to the show dicuss his new book, The Nine Waves of Creation. The Nine Waves of Creation presents a speculative cosmology supported by the recent discovery that galaxies in the universe are not located randomly, but ordered in a way that radically challenges previous cosmological assumptions. If Calleman's ideas -- which are refreshingly wild but rationally argued -- are even partially correct, today's assumptions about the nature of evolution and the evolution of nature will need to be reconsidered. We will discuss the Birth of the Universe, the Tree of Life, the Mayan Calendar, Human Evolution and more!

In 2008, Dr. Eben Alexanders brain was severely damaged by a devastating case of bacterial meningitis, and he lapsed into a week-long coma. It was almost certainly a death sentence, but Dr. Alexander miraculously survived and brought back with him an astounding story (told in his best-seller Proof of Heaven: A Neurosurgeon's Journey into the Afterlife). During seven days in coma, he was plunged into the deepest realms of consciousness, and came to understand profound truths about the universe we inhabit. What he learned completely violated everything he ever knew about brain, mind and consciousness, and drove him to question some of the most fundamental assumptions of conventional science, leading to a complete flip from his former worldview. The entire scientific community is facing a similar conundrum: how to explain that consciousness is merely a byproduct of the brain when overwhelming evidence suggests otherwise. Ultimately, direct experience is key to fully understanding how we are all connected thro
