  Jeremy David Engels: Living Namaste, An Ancient Practice for Modern Living 19.08.2026 1h 22m

  A practical guide to embodying the principles of “namaste” in everyday life“An appealing manual that offers encouraging methods for pursuing a happier and more connected life.”—Kirkus Reviews• Defines the meaning of “namaste” and explains how to apply it in daily interactions to build stronger communities• Offers practical strategies to develop self-awareness and compassion, foster deeper connections with others, and support mutual growth• Includes exercises, mindfulness meditations, and svadhyaya (“self-study”) practices to deepen personal growth and understandingNamaste is a Sanskrit greeting that means “I bow to the divine in you.” It has become a common phrase to say at the end of yoga classes, but as Jeremy Engels shows, “namaste” is more than a polite expression; it is a powerful principle for building connection and community.Engels organizes the practice of living namaste around three reminders—“I am divine,” “you are divine,” and “live the word, together”—noting that the significance of mindfulness and yoga practice is about remembering to return to a state of awareness, presence, and connection.The practical approach Engels offers in Living Namaste encourages self-awareness and empathy, cultivating gratitude, and treating one another with compassion to foster deeper connections and support mutual growth. Each of the three reminders is accompanied by exercises, mindfulness meditations, and svadhyaya (“self-study”) practices designed to help you apply these teachings to your daily life. By responding thoughtfully and with care to each other, rather than reactively, readers can form stronger, more supportive relationships, support each other’s well-being, and contribute to healthier communities.Jeremy David Engels, PhD, is a cofounder and teacher at Yoga Lab, which offers science-based yoga and meditation classes that emphasize mindfulness and functional movement. He is a Liberal Arts Endowed Professor of Communication and Ethics at Penn State University and has written extensively on community-building, peace, and justice. He lives in State College, Pennsylvania.https://jeremydavidengels.com/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/earth-ancients--2790919/support.

  Jan Francke: Scanning the Ancient World, with Ground Penetrating Radar 15.08.2026 1h 31m

  Jan Francke: Scanning the Ancient World, with Ground Penetrating RadarWhat lies beneath some of the world's most mysterious ancient sites?Dr. Jan Francke has spent more than three decades working with ground-penetrating radar (GPR) and developing technologies capable of imaging structures, geological formations, tunnels, voids, and other features hidden beneath the Earth's surface.In this episode of Earth Ancients, Jan joins Cliff Dunning to discuss the science behind GPR and its growing role in archaeology. The conversation explores radar investigations at ancient sites, including work around the Giza Plateau and Great Pyramid, as well as projects in Mexico, the Middle East, Australia, and other parts of the world.Jan also explains an important problem surrounding ground-penetrating radar: while GPR can produce remarkable results under the right conditions, the technology can easily be misunderstood, misused, or overinterpreted. What can radar actually see underground? How deep can it penetrate? What creates an anomaly? And when does an intriguing radar image become credible evidence for a buried structure?Jan Francke is the founder of Groundradar, which develops and deploys specialized GPR systems, including long-range UltraGPR technology. He is also associated with Geolitix, a cloud-based platform for processing and interpreting GPR and other geophysical data. His career has taken him to more than 100 countries, applying geophysical technology to archaeology, geology, mineral exploration, underground void detection, and other subsurface investigations.This conversation offers a rare look at the technology increasingly being used to investigate what may remain hidden beneath some of the world's most important ancient landscapes.Learn more about Jan Francke and Groundradar:Groundradar.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/earth-ancients--2790919/support.

  Bibhu Dev Misra: The Aztec Calendar, Ekpyrosis and the Coming Cycle of Catastrophe 01.08.2026 1h 44m

  My name is Bibhu Dev Misra and I live in Kolkata, India, with my family. Like most urban-educated boys, I followed the traditional route to success in my early life. As someone who was comfortable with science, I did my engineering from IIT Kharagpur and subsequently completed my MBA from IIM Kolkata. I worked as an Information Technology consultant for more than 20 years, and spent a number of years working in the US for various multinational organizations, including the World Bank and the United Nations. It was early on in my work life that I was exposed to the writings of researchers such as Graham Hancock, Michael Cremo, Adrian Snodgrass, Joseph Campbell, Walter Cruttenden, Subhash Kak and others, who were looking at our past with a new spirit of inquiry, and identified a number of glaring inconsistencies in the version of history that has been handed down to us. Their writings inspired me to begin a journey of seeking answers to a large body of mysterious knowledge left behind by our ancestors in the form of sacred texts, inexplicable artifacts, awe-inspiring architecture, cryptic symbols, and fantastic myths and legends. To this end, I also began traveling to many ancient sites around the world in order to gain a first hand experience of these remarkable places.In addition to travel and writing, my other interests are music, sports, and photography. When I am not researching, writing, or traveling to ancient sites, I like to strike up a tune on my guitar or keyboard, read books or watch films on ancient mysteries and esoteric subjects, go for long walks, and practice yoga and meditation.https://www.bibhudevmisra.com/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/earth-ancients--2790919/support.

  Mark Booth: The Secret History of the Universe 25.07.2026 1h 26m

  “Mythology and ancient esoteric beliefs are finally found in cutting-edge science.”—Rick Rubin, bestselling author of The Creative ActFrom the author of the global bestseller The Secret History of the World comes an epic new history of the relationship between spiritual belief and cutting-edge science. Includes beautiful black-and-white illustrations throughout.Human beings have a deep-rooted desire to find something worth believing in. But there is a widespread assumption that science is at odds with spiritual belief and offers the only intelligent way to think about the universe.In this epic new history, Mark Booth offers an alternative view, showing us how the great geniuses of modern science, from Marie Curie, Nikola Tesla, and Albert Einstein to today’s architects of AI, turned instead to secret, mystical, and “higher” teachings, including Indian mysticism and Freemasonry, to make sense of the strange phenomena they were encountering.Experimenting with alternative states of consciousness, they risked isolation and even madness.Here then is the dark, dramatic story of modern science—of love, betrayal, attempted murder, multiple suicides, sexual experimentation, and transgression—from which unfolds the awe-inspiring discoveries which have transformed our lives for good, and potentially for evil. For just as the work of J. Robert Oppenheimer and others ended the Second World War but brought humanity to the brink of extinction, so, too, has the spectacular growth of AI.The result of many years of research, and deep conversations with prominent academics in the field, this book takes us on an exhilarating journey, in the company of some of the greatest minds of our age, toward a deeper understanding of our place in the cosmos.Jonathan Black is the pen name of  Mark Booth. He was educated at Ipswich School and Oriel College, Oxford, where he studied Philosophy and Theology. After a long career in publishing, he now writes full time.   ​He is the author of the global bestseller The Secret History of the World, The Secret History of Dante: Unearthing the Mysteries of the Inferno and The Sacred History of the World: How Angels, Mystics and Higher Intelligence Made our World.   ​His books are the result of a lifetime spent reading literature in this area, publishing many of the leading authors in the field and hanging around antiquarian bookshops.  He and his wife live in the south of England.https://www.markboothauthor.com/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/earth-ancients--2790919/support.

  What if one of history’s oldest and most mysterious secrets has been hiding in plain sight?Footprints of the Gods explores the fascinating and controversial phenomenon of polydactylism—the presence of extra fingers or toes—and its mysterious connection to ancient civilizations, myths, and human origins. Across cultures and centuries, references to extra digits appear in Sumerian texts, biblical accounts, folklore, and indigenous traditions, often linked to giants, gods, and the earliest humans.Authors Jim Vieira and Greg Maestro take readers on a compelling investigative journey, uncovering evidence from ancient artifacts, rock art, and historical narratives that challenge conventional views of our past. With meticulous research and a fresh perspective, they reveal patterns that suggest this unusual genetic trait may hold deeper significance than previously believed.Blending archaeology, history, and alternative research, this thought-provoking book invites readers to question long-held assumptions and reconsider humanity’s origins. Whether you’re fascinated by ancient mysteries, hidden history, or unexplained phenomena, Footprints of the Gods offers a captivating and eye-opening exploration that will leave you thinking long after the final page.JIM VIEIRA is a stonemason, researcher and writer.

  Destiny: Dr. Jonathan Kendall, The Metaphysics of UFO's 15.07.2026 1h 29m

  A systematic examination of the physical and spiritual nature of UFOs and other unexplained phenomena.Are UFOs visitors from our universe or parallel realities? Do they come from the same spiritual realm as our dearly departed? How are they connected to cryptids and paranormal activity?Sharing numerous evidential case studies, Jonathan Kendall explores the seemingly irreconcilable physical and spiritual aspects of UFOs/UAPs. The evidence he presents has implications that could lead to revolutionary breakthroughs in the areas of communications, energy use, medicine, interstellar travel, religion, and the nature of reality.This eye-opening book investigates the connection between UFOs and kindred phenomena like monsters, Men in Black, and poltergeists. It also explores the harrowing world of UFO abductions and why the aftereffects are so similar to those of both near-death experiences and encounters with mystical realms.These case studies shatter conventional views of reality and prove that far more is at stake than answering the question, "Are we alone in the universe?"Jonathan Kendall is a board-certified medical doctor in internal medicine and nephrology. As a physician, he is in a relatively unique position to evaluate potential medical and psychological explanations for paranormal encounters. He is well-versed in ufology literature, psychical research, quantum mechanics, and theoretical physics. The worlds of paranormal activity, metaphysics, religious studies, and science has always fascinated him.https://www.llewellyn.com/author.php?author_id=7464&srsltid=AfmBOoo7UhB7O5WA-xunkHeyOU7vvbFdcHptcqb8wrkMG4Z9nQVfwyOtBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/earth-ancients--2790919/support.

  Special Edition: Melissa Tittl, Illusion 14.07.2026 1h 12m

  The core ideaIn a world saturated with division, cancel culture, hostility, and information overload, ILLUSION asks a question few are willing to confront: What if the way we form beliefs is the root of our separation? Blending science, archaeology, and philosophy, ILLUSION challenges one of humanity’s deepest assumptions: that unity requires sameness. The film explores the idea that beliefs are not absolute truths we discover, but constructs we inherit, absorb, and defend — shaping how we see reality, ourselves, and each other.At its core, ILLUSION reveals a paradox: the more we insist on one singular truth, the more divided we become. What we’ve been taught as harmony, the need to think alike to coexist, may itself be the illusion. Instead, the film offers a different vision: reality is not built from one perspective, but from many. Like a complex geometric structure, each viewpoint is a necessary angle of a larger whole. True coexistence doesn’t come from agreement, but from the ability to hold multiple perspectives at once.More than a documentary, ILLUSION is a mirror — inviting audiences to question whether their beliefs are truly their own, or patterns inherited from the world around them. Because the future of humanity may not depend on becoming one, but on understanding how we are many.Melissa TittlFounder & CEOMy life mission has been dedicated to producing content that helps forward humanity.

  Destiny: Abbie Rosner, Psychedelics and the New Vision of Aging 08.07.2026 1h 23m

  Psychedelics and the Counterculture of AgingDetails the best practices for safe and meaningful journeying in one’s later yearsShares accounts of older adults finding healing, spiritual deepening, joyous intimacy, and peace with mortality through intentional psychedelic journeyingDescribes how group psychedelic ceremonies can promote communities of mutual support that are essential for thriving in older lifeBaby boomers are once again exploring the psychedelic drugs of their youth, but this time to enhance their experience of aging. In this book, Abbie Rosner does a deep dive into what psychedelics can offer us in our later years and their risks and benefits for older adults.Rosner describes pivotal advances in clinical research on psychedelic medicines and scientifically validated best practices to prevent “bad trips.” She also considers the legal and underground avenues that older adults are exploring to access these experiences and the available supports for safe journeying.In compelling personal stories, more than 30 older psychonauts share how their psychedelic experiences helped them heal old wounds, align with their authentic selves, experience profound love and forgiveness, and make peace with their mortality. Many describe how psychedelic journeying has made their older years the happiest, most meaningful time of their lives.Beyond sharing individual stories of expansion and transformation, Rosner shows that these pioneering psychedelic elders are helping us reimagine what older age looks and feels like in our ageist, death-phobic culture. Her work illuminates the evolution—and revolution—of the role of elders in our society.Abbie Rosner has been writing extensively on older adults’ explorations of cannabis and psychedelics for Forbes, Double Blind, and other journals since 2018. She is one of the few writers to specifically cover psychedelic use among older adults.
