1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,440 Speaker 1: Now here's a highlight from Coast to Coast AM on 2 00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:06,880 Speaker 1: iHeart Radio and welcome back to Coast to Coast George 3 00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:09,760 Speaker 1: Nordy with Mitch Horowitz. We'll take calls with Mitch next hours. 4 00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:14,840 Speaker 1: So get ready, all things paranormal. Let's talk about extrasensory perception. Mitch, 5 00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:18,640 Speaker 1: how do people have this incredible gift? You know, it's remarkable, George. 6 00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:22,320 Speaker 1: We've got about ninety years of academically based evidence at 7 00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:28,640 Speaker 1: this point for ESP. It's replicable, it's real, it's statistically bulletproof. 8 00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:31,920 Speaker 1: And I mentioned earlier in the previous segment that there 9 00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:35,680 Speaker 1: was a study on precognition at Cornell. That study is 10 00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:39,800 Speaker 1: now a little over ten years old, and other parallel 11 00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:44,239 Speaker 1: studies were done because the researcher, to his credit, he 12 00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:47,479 Speaker 1: opened up his books, he showed his data to everyone. 13 00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:51,400 Speaker 1: He provided free software and a free instruction manual to 14 00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:55,320 Speaker 1: any researchers who wanted to replicate the evidence. So we 15 00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:58,080 Speaker 1: now have a meta analysis, which is a pool of 16 00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:03,720 Speaker 1: different studies that Encomb is ninety studies at thirty three 17 00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:08,839 Speaker 1: different labs in fourteen different nations that show his results 18 00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:13,160 Speaker 1: of precognition to be confirmatory. Now dig this. The critics 19 00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:16,440 Speaker 1: always say the problem with ESP experiments is they can 20 00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:19,440 Speaker 1: never be repeated. That is not true. These experiments have 21 00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:23,040 Speaker 1: been repeated for decades, and this most recent one emanating 22 00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:27,600 Speaker 1: from Cornell, has been shown to be the real deal 23 00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:32,520 Speaker 1: in a meta analysis encompassing ninety experiments. This is no joke. 24 00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:35,800 Speaker 1: ESP is real. Well, my aunt back in the sixties 25 00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:39,679 Speaker 1: was convinced to that doctor Shafika Corregula who changed her 26 00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:44,720 Speaker 1: entire practice Mitch from psychiatry to studying telepathy and ESP, 27 00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:49,000 Speaker 1: and she was totally convinced that this was the real deal. Yeah. 28 00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:51,720 Speaker 1: The thing I'm hoping is that now that the UFO 29 00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:54,480 Speaker 1: thesis has gone mainstream, it may help us open up 30 00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:57,840 Speaker 1: some of these other fields because ESP research is actually 31 00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:01,680 Speaker 1: really inexpensive to do. But regard artless, it's very hard 32 00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:04,040 Speaker 1: for people to raise money for a Universities don't want 33 00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:07,080 Speaker 1: to sponsor it, and so forth. It's very difficult for 34 00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:10,160 Speaker 1: people who were trying to protect their reputations to get 35 00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:12,359 Speaker 1: involved in these kinds of studies. But I'm hoping that 36 00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:14,840 Speaker 1: the funding is going to open up and the intellectual 37 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:17,919 Speaker 1: atmosphere is also going to loosen up. What about the occult. 38 00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:21,680 Speaker 1: Tell us about that, well, the occult occult is simply 39 00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:24,680 Speaker 1: a word that comes from the Latin term occultists, meaning 40 00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:27,000 Speaker 1: secret or hidden. It was a word that came into 41 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:31,480 Speaker 1: use during the Renaissance when people were rediscovering the spirituality 42 00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:36,720 Speaker 1: of the ancient world. Spirituality of Egypt, Rome, Greece, Persia, 43 00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:42,200 Speaker 1: and all these priesthoods and mystery religions and initiatory traditions 44 00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:45,920 Speaker 1: had vanished during the Dark Ages or the early medieval period, 45 00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:47,880 Speaker 1: and they were trying to figure out what to call 46 00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:50,720 Speaker 1: this material. So they settled on this term occultists or 47 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,400 Speaker 1: what we call a cult, just meaning hidden or secret. 48 00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:56,120 Speaker 1: Didn't have any sinister connotation at all. It was just 49 00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:59,679 Speaker 1: a neutral term. Over the years, it's taken on a 50 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:02,800 Speaker 1: rap but I use it all the time because it 51 00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,120 Speaker 1: has historical integrity, and I don't think we should just 52 00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:07,600 Speaker 1: give up terms like that to people who use them 53 00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:10,720 Speaker 1: in a negative way. The Nazis gave it a bad word, 54 00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:15,000 Speaker 1: didn't they. Yeah, I think that this is an ongoing controversy, 55 00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:19,520 Speaker 1: and probably the Nazi occult connection gets really exaggerated. I 56 00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:23,840 Speaker 1: have an essay on medium called the Occult and Fascism, 57 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:26,880 Speaker 1: a brief comment, and I try to sort this out 58 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:30,600 Speaker 1: because I think it really gets exaggerated. And the fact 59 00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:33,680 Speaker 1: is most of the people who were considered occultists, who 60 00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:37,200 Speaker 1: were close to the Third Reich, they were killed. A 61 00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:40,600 Speaker 1: man who was known as Hitler's astrologer was killed en 62 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:45,400 Speaker 1: route to the concentration camp at Buchenwald. Freemasons were jailed, 63 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:49,480 Speaker 1: Theosophists were jailed. You know, people think that people at 64 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:51,920 Speaker 1: the upper echelons of the Third Reich were dabbling in 65 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,240 Speaker 1: the occult and yeah, there's some truth to that. There's 66 00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:56,800 Speaker 1: some truth to that. But the fact is all the 67 00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:59,720 Speaker 1: involved parties they were killed, they were shunned, they were 68 00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:04,280 Speaker 1: murder It's overstated. It's overstated, and that's something I write 69 00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:06,840 Speaker 1: about in that little essay. What does the law of 70 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,680 Speaker 1: attraction mean? Do you mention? Well, it's funny. It's not 71 00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:12,840 Speaker 1: a term that I use much myself, because I don't 72 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:16,840 Speaker 1: like the implication that we only exist under one mental 73 00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:21,400 Speaker 1: super law. It may be that consciousness is the ultimate 74 00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:25,200 Speaker 1: arbiter of reality, and I do personally believe that's true, 75 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,800 Speaker 1: but there's a lot of intervening laws and forces, and 76 00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:31,920 Speaker 1: in this world that we live in, we are conscripted 77 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:36,320 Speaker 1: to experience many different laws and forces that can seem 78 00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:40,520 Speaker 1: to disrupt or yet in the way of the law 79 00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:44,560 Speaker 1: of mental causation, and this shouldn't surprise us. Gravity is 80 00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:48,560 Speaker 1: a law, it's universal, but you'll experience gravity differently on 81 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:51,760 Speaker 1: the Moon than you will on Earth or on Jupiter. 82 00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:56,080 Speaker 1: Water is always water, but based on surrounding conditions, it 83 00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:59,800 Speaker 1: can be a vapor, liquid, or ice. So we have 84 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:04,480 Speaker 1: understand that these laws, these metaphysical laws, don't necessarily liberate 85 00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:09,479 Speaker 1: us from surrounding conditions. It's an important concept, But I 86 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:13,560 Speaker 1: speak about mental causation hand in hand with other laws 87 00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:16,520 Speaker 1: that we have to live under, rather than just talking 88 00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:20,320 Speaker 1: about one mental superlaw, because very frequently we're not able 89 00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:23,920 Speaker 1: to access that state. You are a believer in positive thinking, 90 00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:27,640 Speaker 1: aren't you. Absolutely. I think it stands to reason that 91 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:33,839 Speaker 1: we do measure events, We do select events through our attitudes, 92 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:37,320 Speaker 1: through our psyches, through our natural senses, and I think 93 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:41,080 Speaker 1: that actually plays a really concrete role in what happens 94 00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:43,119 Speaker 1: to us. You know, we've talked a little bit tonight 95 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:47,560 Speaker 1: about quantum physics. All the founders of quantum physics back 96 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:52,440 Speaker 1: in the day were considered philosophical idealists, so they believed 97 00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:56,440 Speaker 1: that we lived in a perception based reality. The people 98 00:05:56,480 --> 00:06:00,560 Speaker 1: who founded what we would consider world class science were 99 00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:05,839 Speaker 1: believers in perception as a key factor in determining what 100 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:09,120 Speaker 1: reality you experienced. So I think the early positive thinkers 101 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:14,400 Speaker 1: who were around before quantum physics quantum theory, I think 102 00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:17,560 Speaker 1: they had a really strong instinct for human nature. So 103 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:20,880 Speaker 1: I dig all the early positive mind books. You know, 104 00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:23,680 Speaker 1: you and I have talked a lot about the Magic 105 00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:27,560 Speaker 1: of Believing by Bristol, and there's other books like that 106 00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:31,080 Speaker 1: that I think really had a huge, huge instinct for 107 00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:34,640 Speaker 1: the greater dimensions of human nature. And I am a believer. 108 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:38,400 Speaker 1: What are your thoughts of the afterlife, Niche? That is 109 00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:41,159 Speaker 1: a really interesting question. You know. First of all, so 110 00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:43,839 Speaker 1: many people have had near death experiences and there's so 111 00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:46,400 Speaker 1: much testimony around it that we really have a record, 112 00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:49,839 Speaker 1: and that's incredibly important. I talk a lot about laboratory 113 00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:54,520 Speaker 1: based material, but the individual's experience is really really important 114 00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:57,080 Speaker 1: as well, and I trade never to lose sight of that. 115 00:06:57,520 --> 00:06:59,800 Speaker 1: It stands to reason that if we can prove the 116 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:04,160 Speaker 1: sp in a laboratory setting, we have an extra physical existence. 117 00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:07,080 Speaker 1: We meet don't understand it. We are kind of on 118 00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,800 Speaker 1: our knees staring through a keyhole. But once you open 119 00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:13,760 Speaker 1: up the door to ESP and extra physicality, it stands 120 00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:17,440 Speaker 1: to reason that we have some existence that seems to 121 00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:20,840 Speaker 1: go beyond the physical. One of your chapters, it's called 122 00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:24,280 Speaker 1: the Man who destroyed skepticism. Who is that person? That's 123 00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:29,320 Speaker 1: our old friend James Randy who died. Yeah, James called 124 00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:32,880 Speaker 1: himself a skeptic. I maintain that James was a pseudo skeptic. 125 00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:36,360 Speaker 1: James would do injustice to the truth all the time 126 00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:39,440 Speaker 1: in order to upend some of the very things I'm 127 00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:41,600 Speaker 1: talking about. He would flat out deny that there was 128 00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:46,560 Speaker 1: evidence for ESP. He would misrepresent the research, sometimes very flagrantly, 129 00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:50,280 Speaker 1: of some of the key players. He would humiliate people. 130 00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:53,920 Speaker 1: He would speak in sound bites, he would speak in sarcasm, 131 00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:57,040 Speaker 1: rhetorical questions, all the stuff that's now so popular and 132 00:07:57,080 --> 00:08:00,560 Speaker 1: that runs riot over social media. And I think he 133 00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,280 Speaker 1: was a negative influence on the culture because we do 134 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:06,400 Speaker 1: need skepticism. When I talk about all these different topics, 135 00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:09,000 Speaker 1: I need somebody to be tapping me on the shoulder 136 00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:11,240 Speaker 1: and saying to me, listen, you got that wrong. It 137 00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:13,320 Speaker 1: got that wrong. I want people to go into my 138 00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:17,040 Speaker 1: footnotes call me out if I'm exaggerating. We need skeptics, 139 00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:20,480 Speaker 1: but James created a very negative kind of pseudo skepticism, 140 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:23,840 Speaker 1: and I write about that in the book. Was he 141 00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:26,800 Speaker 1: a believer in God? Do you know that? I really 142 00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:32,600 Speaker 1: don't know. I'd he'd have to be here for us 143 00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:35,120 Speaker 1: to have that exchange. He might have had some kind 144 00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:38,600 Speaker 1: of belief system, but he was dedicated to a belief 145 00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:41,160 Speaker 1: system that might be called materialism, which is just that 146 00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:44,720 Speaker 1: matter creates itself, and that the only game in town 147 00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:49,480 Speaker 1: is thought, cognition, flesh and bone, and you know, just 148 00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:52,480 Speaker 1: just common observation, and that anything that went outside of 149 00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:55,960 Speaker 1: that he considered fantasy. What are your thoughts of curses, 150 00:08:56,040 --> 00:09:01,840 Speaker 1: Mitch Well? I think that the human mind is very powerful. 151 00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:05,360 Speaker 1: Is it possible to curse other people? Yes, But I 152 00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:08,120 Speaker 1: also believe in reciprocity, and anything that we do to 153 00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:12,960 Speaker 1: another person reverberates back to us. I wouldn't touch any 154 00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:16,400 Speaker 1: kind of spell work that dealt with curses, and I 155 00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:19,320 Speaker 1: don't advise anybody to do so. Yeah, you can probably 156 00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:21,800 Speaker 1: do it, but you're going to suffer a terrible consequence. 157 00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:25,360 Speaker 1: Believe they're real. I do believe they're real. I think 158 00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:30,920 Speaker 1: that intention is very, very powerful, and you know, we 159 00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:35,040 Speaker 1: don't take that into account often enough. These questions come 160 00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:37,600 Speaker 1: into play most dramatically and when we're dealing with magic, 161 00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:40,559 Speaker 1: but we have to take into account intention when we're 162 00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:44,280 Speaker 1: going online. Insulting one another or being sarcastic or what 163 00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:47,280 Speaker 1: have you makes the individual feel shame, and then in 164 00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:50,440 Speaker 1: order to overcome the shame, he or she just goes 165 00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:52,640 Speaker 1: back to the bottle, takes another hit, keeps doing it. 166 00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:55,800 Speaker 1: That's why we kind of get into these grooves where 167 00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:59,720 Speaker 1: we're constantly mouthing off in rage all day online and 168 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:02,640 Speaker 1: it really degrades us. And I think it degrades us 169 00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:05,400 Speaker 1: in ways that are much deeper than than we really understand. 170 00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:08,840 Speaker 1: It hits our self respect. On the top of the cover, 171 00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:12,880 Speaker 1: there's a little snippet by our friend Jacques Vallet. Yeah, 172 00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:17,640 Speaker 1: I really appreciate Jacqu's support. Jacques is, as many of 173 00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:20,920 Speaker 1: the Coast listeners know, as a pioneering computer scientist, and 174 00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:25,800 Speaker 1: I think today today's greatest living theorist of UFO phenomena. 175 00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:28,360 Speaker 1: It was really Jacques back in the late nineteen sixties 176 00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:34,839 Speaker 1: who pioneered the analysis of UFOs being interdimensional and told 177 00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:36,720 Speaker 1: me one time that there's there's a character in the 178 00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:42,920 Speaker 1: film Close Encounters that's based on Lacomb. Yeah, Lecombe and 179 00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:45,400 Speaker 1: and and I got to watch Close Encounters with Jaque, 180 00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:48,280 Speaker 1: which was exciting. It's kind of like, that's cool. Did 181 00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:51,640 Speaker 1: he know did he know that character was him? Oh? Yeah, Oh, 182 00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:53,640 Speaker 1: he knew all about it. Okay. He told me that 183 00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:55,520 Speaker 1: when he was on the set of Close Encounters, he 184 00:10:55,600 --> 00:11:00,360 Speaker 1: shared with Steven Spielberg his perspective that UFOs were probably 185 00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:05,959 Speaker 1: interdimensional versus extra terrestrial, and Spielberg agreed with him. Interesting, 186 00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:09,719 Speaker 1: what do you think I leaned towards the extra dimensional 187 00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:14,240 Speaker 1: thesis because our models of extra dimensionality are better developed 188 00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:18,240 Speaker 1: right now than our models of how craft could travel 189 00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:23,200 Speaker 1: across such unfathomable distances. I think it's actually easier to 190 00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:29,439 Speaker 1: defend the interdimensional thesis. They've learned. Are they physical or not? Yes, 191 00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:33,400 Speaker 1: they are physical. I think because something belongs to a 192 00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:37,040 Speaker 1: different dimension doesn't mean that it's not as physical and 193 00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:40,280 Speaker 1: as real as our own voices right now? Okay, well, 194 00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:44,439 Speaker 1: almost like a multiverse. Yeah, exactly like a multiverse. So 195 00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:47,040 Speaker 1: it's real, it's just that we're only able to perceive 196 00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:50,439 Speaker 1: these things at unique moments, were not altogether Sure why, 197 00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:54,439 Speaker 1: But the perception is absolutely real. There's there's nothing ethereal 198 00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:57,400 Speaker 1: about it. It's it's physical reality. It just belongs to 199 00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:01,400 Speaker 1: a different dimension. Fascinating. Sure, what's with us? His websites 200 00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:04,199 Speaker 1: are linked up at Coast to coastam dot com. His 201 00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:08,360 Speaker 1: latest book is called Uncertain Places, Essays on Occult and 202 00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:12,040 Speaker 1: Outsider Experiences. Are you writing another book on the occult? 203 00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:15,719 Speaker 1: Believe it or not? I am Georgia. I'm determined to 204 00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:19,120 Speaker 1: beat out Tommy for sleep deprivation. See so you love 205 00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:22,480 Speaker 1: this stuff? Yeah, I'm writing a book called Modern Occultism 206 00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:24,360 Speaker 1: that's going to come out next summer, and it's a 207 00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:28,880 Speaker 1: really epic history of the occult from late Antiquity up 208 00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:31,560 Speaker 1: through today. And it's very exciting to me because I 209 00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:34,160 Speaker 1: get to explore the lives, careers ideas of some people 210 00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:37,000 Speaker 1: I'm really interested in, like Manley P. Hall and metam 211 00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:40,960 Speaker 1: H people about ski among others. Are you a supporter 212 00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:44,920 Speaker 1: of witchcraft? Absolutely? I think witchcraft is one of the 213 00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:49,679 Speaker 1: most exciting developments on the spiritual scene of our generation. 214 00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:54,200 Speaker 1: I mean, we are witnessing a rebirth and to some 215 00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:58,880 Speaker 1: degree a reworking of what had been a tradition that 216 00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:02,839 Speaker 1: was either vanished or was very very deeply underground. And 217 00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:06,480 Speaker 1: it's incredibly inspiring and heartening to me that we can 218 00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:11,720 Speaker 1: gather threads from what our ancient ancestors were doing, rework 219 00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:14,920 Speaker 1: these threads, add to these threads, and create a modern tradition, 220 00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:17,280 Speaker 1: and it brings meaning to the lives of a lot 221 00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:19,600 Speaker 1: of people. We're going to take calls next hour with 222 00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:22,120 Speaker 1: Mitch Horowitz here on coast to coast, So get ready 223 00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:25,840 Speaker 1: to make your fingers do the walking, and Tom will 224 00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:29,040 Speaker 1: answer the phones. To be sure. The book on certain places. 225 00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:30,960 Speaker 1: Where do people get it, Mitch, You can get it 226 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:34,040 Speaker 1: on Amazon or anywhere you buy your books. It's in print, digital, 227 00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:36,760 Speaker 1: and audio. Back to the Quigi board for a second. 228 00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:40,319 Speaker 1: I'm opposed to the Wuigi board. Still I haven't been convinced. 229 00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:44,360 Speaker 1: Maybe after reading your book, I will be, but it 230 00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:47,160 Speaker 1: still scares me a little bit. A lot of scary 231 00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:49,520 Speaker 1: stories over the Ouiji board, A lot of disturbing things 232 00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:51,800 Speaker 1: happen over the Ouiji board, but some good things as well. 233 00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:56,360 Speaker 1: There have been some extraordinary channel teachings, like the Seth teachings, 234 00:13:56,360 --> 00:14:00,360 Speaker 1: for example that Jane Roberts began handling Overuigi were the 235 00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:04,120 Speaker 1: Abraham teaching. So these experiments are not without risk. But 236 00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:07,640 Speaker 1: like all experiments, things can go wrong or there can 237 00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:14,280 Speaker 1: be extraordinary payoffs extraordinary indeed. But I don't know. Well, 238 00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:16,679 Speaker 1: I might bring one into the studio one Halloween and 239 00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:19,600 Speaker 1: maybe we'll go. That happened to me at Saint Louis 240 00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:23,200 Speaker 1: when I was doing my local show and it shut 241 00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:26,560 Speaker 1: down everything. We had cart machines, which we used to 242 00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:29,800 Speaker 1: play our commercials that way. Now everything's computer. Yeah, and 243 00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:32,600 Speaker 1: that jammed up. That didn't work, the lights went out. 244 00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:35,400 Speaker 1: I had my producer take it out of the room 245 00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:38,880 Speaker 1: and everything went back on. Now. He gave it to 246 00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:41,240 Speaker 1: a guy in the newsroom who got fired a couple 247 00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:45,800 Speaker 1: days later. Wow. And we ran into him at a 248 00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:50,040 Speaker 1: nightclub about three weeks later and he said, ever since 249 00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:52,680 Speaker 1: I got that Wuiji board, and he said it in 250 00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:56,480 Speaker 1: a different phrase, he said, my life has been horrible. 251 00:14:57,080 --> 00:15:00,400 Speaker 1: All right, we'll scratch that idea. Maybe we'll do Tarot readings. Yeah, 252 00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:03,400 Speaker 1: I'd rather do that.
