1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:04,600 Speaker 1: Now here's a highlight from coast to coast AM on iHeartRadio. 2 00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:07,440 Speaker 2: I asked you a loaded question before the break, doctor Tara, 3 00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:13,280 Speaker 2: about paranormal science. What do you, in your professional opinion 4 00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:19,280 Speaker 2: from a neuroscience perspective, somebody who sees an alien or 5 00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:25,800 Speaker 2: a ghost or another, you know, extraterrestrial being that have 6 00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:30,440 Speaker 2: no prior identification with them. Have you interviewed people like that. 7 00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:33,760 Speaker 3: I haven't personally interviewed people like that, but I have 8 00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:36,519 Speaker 3: looked into a couple of areas of research that I 9 00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:40,000 Speaker 3: think irrelevant to this. So the first one is what's 10 00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:45,440 Speaker 3: known as the observable universe. So from the science point 11 00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:48,400 Speaker 3: of view, we know that the universe is either infinite 12 00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:53,320 Speaker 3: or boundless, and that we can only see as far 13 00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:56,600 Speaker 3: into the universe as it takes the speed of light 14 00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:59,480 Speaker 3: to travel back to us. So we know that there 15 00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:02,240 Speaker 3: is more to the universe that we can't see, but 16 00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:05,119 Speaker 3: we accept that it's there scientifically even though we can't 17 00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:07,520 Speaker 3: see it. And I think a lot of you know, 18 00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:10,399 Speaker 3: the issue with sciences that everything has to be provable 19 00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:15,479 Speaker 3: and measurable, but there are definitely things like the observable 20 00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:17,960 Speaker 3: universe where we accept that it exists even though we 21 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:24,160 Speaker 3: can't see it. Professor David Eagleman from UCLA talks about 22 00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:26,520 Speaker 3: this idea that the brain is like a radio that 23 00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:30,000 Speaker 3: can receive signals, and he says this can't be proven, 24 00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:34,600 Speaker 3: but it categorically can't be disproven. And Professor Donald Hoffman 25 00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:39,560 Speaker 3: talks about the construct of the universe, which we currently 26 00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:42,480 Speaker 3: accept as the space time continuum, even though we can't 27 00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:46,640 Speaker 3: prove it, and he suggests that consciousness may actually be 28 00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:49,560 Speaker 3: the construct of the universe and that that is not 29 00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:53,520 Speaker 3: provable but also not disprovable. So I'm setting that up 30 00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:56,000 Speaker 3: to say that they're you know, science doesn't have all 31 00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:59,000 Speaker 3: the answers for everything, and so when we look at 32 00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:03,480 Speaker 3: things like normal activity or visions. I'm going to go 33 00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:06,320 Speaker 3: with the research on what I call the claires so 34 00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:09,560 Speaker 3: clairvoyance most people have heard of, which is that you 35 00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:12,799 Speaker 3: see things that will happen in the future, or you 36 00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:16,760 Speaker 3: see It's also connected to remote viewing, which is seeing 37 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:19,919 Speaker 3: things that are so far away you couldn't possibly actually 38 00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:24,119 Speaker 3: see those things, but you still see them. Claire, audience 39 00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:29,720 Speaker 3: is hearing things that are you know that you shouldn't 40 00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:32,240 Speaker 3: be able to perceive. With what we understand about current hearing, 41 00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:36,600 Speaker 3: and then Claire cognizance is just knowing something in your 42 00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:40,240 Speaker 3: mind to be true, even though there's no rational way 43 00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:43,600 Speaker 3: of explaining it, and Clare sentience is this similar thing, 44 00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:47,440 Speaker 3: but feeling it in your body. So I think that 45 00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:53,560 Speaker 3: when people experience these paranormal visions or activities, they're probably 46 00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:58,200 Speaker 3: tapping into one of those senses that isn't physiologically strictly 47 00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:01,560 Speaker 3: a sense in the way that I created the table 48 00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:04,440 Speaker 3: in the book of the thirty four physiological senses that 49 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:08,840 Speaker 3: we have, which already is like so far away from 50 00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:10,880 Speaker 3: the fact that most people think we have five senses, 51 00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:14,240 Speaker 3: and some people talk about a sixth sense, and some 52 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:18,560 Speaker 3: people think that's intuition, some people think it's balance that 53 00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:22,200 Speaker 3: humans actually have thirty four senses as far as a 54 00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:27,480 Speaker 3: scientific literature review would tell us that today. So, for example, 55 00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:33,280 Speaker 3: taste is subdivided into five, which is sweet, sour, salty, bitter, 56 00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:37,640 Speaker 3: and umami. But umami was only discovered and named in 57 00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:41,040 Speaker 3: the nineteen eighties. But does that mean that we didn't 58 00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:43,800 Speaker 3: have umami sense before that? Of course not. So we 59 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,080 Speaker 3: had it, we just didn't know, no, we had it. 60 00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:49,640 Speaker 3: We didn't have a name for it, and I think 61 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,280 Speaker 3: that's as far as I can go, you know, staying 62 00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:56,360 Speaker 3: really scientific to explain this kind of paranormal activity. And 63 00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:59,760 Speaker 3: another thing I will say is that there's so much 64 00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:03,360 Speaker 3: an ancient wisdom that we've forgotten, things that our ancestors knew, 65 00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:06,800 Speaker 3: which are pretty much hidden in plain sight for us 66 00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:10,480 Speaker 3: to recall and use in the modern day to heal 67 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,520 Speaker 3: a lot of mental health issues and you know, just 68 00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 3: stress and physical issues as well. That it's very arrogant 69 00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:20,720 Speaker 3: of us to think that a that we are the 70 00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:22,960 Speaker 3: last type of human that will ever exist. I mean, 71 00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:26,400 Speaker 3: let's ask the listeners. Do you ever think about the 72 00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:30,080 Speaker 3: day in the life of Homo erectus, What dreams of 73 00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:33,080 Speaker 3: ambitions and emotions did that person have? What did they 74 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:37,159 Speaker 3: know that we don't know? You know, at some point 75 00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:38,840 Speaker 3: we will just be a blip in the history of 76 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:42,839 Speaker 3: humanity as Homo sapiens. There's going to be other forms 77 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:46,200 Speaker 3: of human in the future, and so there. 78 00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:49,080 Speaker 2: Could be now I mean, for us could be only 79 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,520 Speaker 2: one is yeah. 80 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:53,839 Speaker 3: We cannot discount that there are other types of beings 81 00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:59,600 Speaker 3: that aren't necessarily human that potentially show themselves to us 82 00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:03,360 Speaker 3: or we access seeing somehow that can't be explained at 83 00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:07,240 Speaker 3: the moment in that provable, measurable, evidence based kind of way, 84 00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:10,000 Speaker 3: but also shouldn't be dismissed. 85 00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:18,080 Speaker 2: Right because it's not disprovable, right. Essentially, So these forms 86 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:22,800 Speaker 2: of consciousness, maybe they are alternative forms of consciousness that 87 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:30,520 Speaker 2: come in, Like your husband is in a form of 88 00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:35,880 Speaker 2: consciousness that can connect with you. Why wouldn't we have 89 00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:40,760 Speaker 2: beings from other planets or outer beings also be in 90 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:44,920 Speaker 2: the form of consciousness to connect with us, right, Yeah, absolutely, 91 00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:50,000 Speaker 2: So it's kind of the same thing as the communication 92 00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:55,920 Speaker 2: with your husband. Has it faded over the years or 93 00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:57,200 Speaker 2: is it still as strong? 94 00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:02,040 Speaker 3: It hasn't faded at all. It got stronger and stronger 95 00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:07,840 Speaker 3: to the point that it's daily communication. And yeah, that's 96 00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:10,160 Speaker 3: how I live my life. You know, I live a 97 00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:13,200 Speaker 3: very normal life as a human and a very scientific 98 00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:17,560 Speaker 3: life as a professional. But talking to my husband and 99 00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:21,640 Speaker 3: him communicating with me is absolutely part of my everyday 100 00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:23,919 Speaker 3: life and I hope it always will be. 101 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:29,039 Speaker 2: Have you ever heard from your husband that you would 102 00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:33,200 Speaker 2: be doing a lot of media podcasts and so forth. 103 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:38,320 Speaker 3: So on a very big podcast that I was on 104 00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:40,599 Speaker 3: in twenty twenty three, I said at the end that 105 00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:42,440 Speaker 3: I'd actually wanted to be an actress when I was 106 00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:45,800 Speaker 3: at high school and my English teacher said that I 107 00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:49,560 Speaker 3: was so talented that I should read English at Oxford 108 00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:52,320 Speaker 3: University and go to the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art. 109 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:54,960 Speaker 3: And I came home and told my father and he 110 00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:57,919 Speaker 3: literally said, over my dead body, you will go to 111 00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:03,960 Speaker 3: medical school. Yes, So I actually did. So I mostly 112 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,640 Speaker 3: talked to Robin. I don't really try to talk to 113 00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:08,560 Speaker 3: that many other people, but I've also lost a lot 114 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:12,920 Speaker 3: of other people. So after that episode came out, I 115 00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:17,080 Speaker 3: wrote in my journal, now that my father's crossed over, 116 00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:21,840 Speaker 3: which is literally literally over his dead body. If I 117 00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:25,960 Speaker 3: now have your permission to become an actress, send me 118 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,280 Speaker 3: a sign, and the sign should be that I will 119 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:31,280 Speaker 3: bump into a famous actress. That will be my sign. 120 00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:34,400 Speaker 3: So I am the trustee of a charity called the 121 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:38,480 Speaker 3: Lady Garden Foundation for Gynecological Cancers, and every year we 122 00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:40,360 Speaker 3: have a Christmas Carol concert, and I was on the 123 00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:45,680 Speaker 3: committee a couple of years ago for that, and I 124 00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:48,680 Speaker 3: invited a friend to join me. So we met early 125 00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:50,600 Speaker 3: and we were standing in the doorway of the church 126 00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:54,880 Speaker 3: and a lady entered and so I tried. I moved. 127 00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:57,000 Speaker 3: I stepped to the left to get out of her 128 00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:59,640 Speaker 3: way so that she could pass, but she also stepped 129 00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:02,880 Speaker 3: to the left, so we physically bumped into each other. 130 00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:07,280 Speaker 3: She said sorry and walked on, and I said to 131 00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:09,680 Speaker 3: my friend, Oh, my goodness, that's Anna Friel. I love 132 00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:11,920 Speaker 3: her as an actress because she actually played a psychotic 133 00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:14,280 Speaker 3: patient in a series that I watched, and she was 134 00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:17,880 Speaker 3: so good. And I had forgotten what I'd written in 135 00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:19,880 Speaker 3: my journal. So when I went back to my journal 136 00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:22,440 Speaker 3: to write in it and I saw that that's what 137 00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:24,960 Speaker 3: I'd written, I mean, it still takes my breath away 138 00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,040 Speaker 3: when these signs come. Even though I'm you know, I've 139 00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:29,920 Speaker 3: said to you it's like every day for me, it's 140 00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:34,160 Speaker 3: still when something like that happens, just it just feels incredible. 141 00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:39,280 Speaker 2: I find it extraordinary that you put in specific requests 142 00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:43,800 Speaker 2: like this, show me an actress. And is there a 143 00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:48,560 Speaker 2: way that you recommend looking for or asking for these signs? 144 00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:52,960 Speaker 3: Yes? So you know, what I say to my friends 145 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,200 Speaker 3: and my loved ones is exactly what I'd love to 146 00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:58,280 Speaker 3: say to the listeners is if you've lost someone and 147 00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:01,400 Speaker 3: you'd like to receive a sign, from them. Think of 148 00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:04,720 Speaker 3: a you know, a very fond memory or a shared 149 00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:07,280 Speaker 3: joke that only really you and that person would know. 150 00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:12,880 Speaker 3: Choose a symbol that represents that memory, and then ask 151 00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:16,000 Speaker 3: them to send it to you. And at first I 152 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,560 Speaker 3: would say that's enough, just to leave it like that, 153 00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:22,320 Speaker 3: but later you can put parameters around it. Like I said, 154 00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:23,880 Speaker 3: it has to be in the next twenty four hours, 155 00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:26,280 Speaker 3: it has to be three times. It has to be 156 00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:29,400 Speaker 3: only if I, you know, go out of my usual 157 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:34,200 Speaker 3: way of walking home or something like that, because then, 158 00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:36,440 Speaker 3: of course it's more convincing. But I think if people 159 00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:38,959 Speaker 3: aren't in the practice of it, then just asking for 160 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:40,640 Speaker 3: the sign and waiting for it to happen is a 161 00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:41,319 Speaker 3: good start. 162 00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:45,800 Speaker 2: Even if you're a skeptic, will this work well? 163 00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:48,680 Speaker 3: As a you know, former medical doctor, I took the 164 00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:51,559 Speaker 3: oath of do no harm, and that's I always come 165 00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:54,560 Speaker 3: back to that if I'm in doubt, and so I 166 00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:56,800 Speaker 3: think the worst thing that can happen if someone asks 167 00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:58,480 Speaker 3: for a sign is that they just don't get one. 168 00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:01,000 Speaker 3: But it's not going to harm them. And therefore I 169 00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:05,400 Speaker 3: really encourage anyone that you know, even wants to try 170 00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:06,600 Speaker 3: to just ask. 171 00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:11,560 Speaker 2: No harm in that yeah, no harm at all. I 172 00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:15,920 Speaker 2: listen to you talk about the five D world and 173 00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:20,240 Speaker 2: if we've spoken about it before on this show with 174 00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:23,400 Speaker 2: you know, first, second, third dimension is what we know now, 175 00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:27,320 Speaker 2: in fourth dimension could be that of the senses in 176 00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:32,160 Speaker 2: the fifth dimension, what do you explain as the fifth dimension? 177 00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:37,600 Speaker 3: I mean, you know, I've obviously heard people at Gaya 178 00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:42,800 Speaker 3: speaking about this, and I when I was last in Boulder, Colorado, 179 00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:46,080 Speaker 3: wasn't at the level of spiritual evolution that I'm at now, 180 00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:50,160 Speaker 3: So I would definitely defer to you know, the kind 181 00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:51,880 Speaker 3: of people I hung out with in Boulder who know 182 00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:54,160 Speaker 3: a lot more about that than me. But personally, I 183 00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:59,199 Speaker 3: would say, it's about these different planes, austral planes that 184 00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:04,559 Speaker 3: it exist and potentially that we can access. And actually 185 00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:09,200 Speaker 3: what the science says is this belief in something greater 186 00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:14,559 Speaker 3: is very important for human potential. In The Five Regrets 187 00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:17,600 Speaker 3: of the Dying, a book written by a palliative care 188 00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:22,400 Speaker 3: nurse who nurse a lot of people who passed away, 189 00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:25,920 Speaker 3: one of the things she says is that the difference 190 00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:31,000 Speaker 3: you noticed between people who feared death and people who 191 00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:34,320 Speaker 3: didn't was that the people who didn't believed in something greater. 192 00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:37,400 Speaker 3: Now that could be the fifth dimension, it could be Source, 193 00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:41,520 Speaker 3: it could be universe, it could be nature, it could 194 00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:47,120 Speaker 3: be God. It's different things for different people. So you know, 195 00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:49,800 Speaker 3: whatever that is for you, that belief that there is 196 00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:53,240 Speaker 3: more seems to be very important to the human soul 197 00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:56,320 Speaker 3: and its ability to navigate this life, this material life. 198 00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:01,720 Speaker 2: Interesting. I'm wondering if you care and if you can 199 00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:07,480 Speaker 2: communicate with someone who's crossed over that you don't know. So, 200 00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:13,120 Speaker 2: for example, Jane Goodall recently passed, and she had such 201 00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:16,320 Speaker 2: a huge impact in this world. I wonder if you 202 00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:19,959 Speaker 2: can communicate or connect with a lost love when the well, 203 00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:22,360 Speaker 2: a person that's crossed over that you don't know. 204 00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:25,840 Speaker 3: Well, I'll tell you what I'm going to do today 205 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,480 Speaker 3: is I'm going to ask for the sign of a chimpanzee. 206 00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:30,280 Speaker 2: Oh that's a great idea. 207 00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:32,520 Speaker 3: And yeah, if I see you on that means that 208 00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:35,240 Speaker 3: Jane Goodall can communicate. 209 00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:38,360 Speaker 2: With Would you let me know? Because you love to 210 00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:39,480 Speaker 2: do I would love to know. 211 00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:42,080 Speaker 3: Let's all do it. Let's all do it. 212 00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:46,120 Speaker 2: Because that raises awareness about the chimpanzees, which she, you know, 213 00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:51,840 Speaker 2: so beautifully did in her wonderful career. That you know, 214 00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:54,480 Speaker 2: let us all know the millions and millions of chimpanzees 215 00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:57,480 Speaker 2: that once existed now only being a couple hundred thousand. 216 00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:01,319 Speaker 2: I mean, she really raised awareness. So if we if 217 00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:04,360 Speaker 2: we could see a sign or a symbol of a chimpanzee, 218 00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:09,120 Speaker 2: that would be incredible. Do you hear of extraordinary signs 219 00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:11,600 Speaker 2: from people? You must hear incredible stories. 220 00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:16,160 Speaker 3: Oh thousands. I mean my team literally have not been 221 00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:17,880 Speaker 3: able to go through all the emails yet that we 222 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:21,880 Speaker 3: received since before the book came out, I did a 223 00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:24,720 Speaker 3: big podcast, The Diary of a CEO, where I first 224 00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:28,280 Speaker 3: shared my personal grief story and my story of signs, 225 00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:32,679 Speaker 3: and we've been inundated since then. I actually did not 226 00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:36,200 Speaker 3: realize how much impact this would have, how many people 227 00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:38,280 Speaker 3: have pretty much the same story. 228 00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:43,640 Speaker 1: Listen to more Coast to Coast AM every weeknight at 229 00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:46,920 Speaker 1: one am Eastern, and go to Coast to coastam dot 230 00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:47,720 Speaker 1: com for more
