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. 4 | MACRO-PSYCHOKINESIS

Can objects be moved or influenced solely by the power of the mind? Are the poltergeist cases depicted in movies more than just fiction? Uncover the scientific research and theories behind these astonishing phenomena.

Ep. 5 | MICRO-PSYCHOKINESIS

What if, during moments of collective attention and intense emotional impact, minds synchronized and subtly influenced the physical world? Studies suggest this phenomenon is real. Are we underestimating the true power of human consciousness?

Ep. 6 | INFLUENCE OF THE MIND

Practices based on healing intentions and positive thoughts, like Reiki, demonstrate positive effects in reducing symptoms. Interestingly, studies involving seeds, cells, and animals reveal similar results. Are we witnessing a mere placebo effect, or is something real at work?

Ep. 7 | QUANTUM PHYSICS AND CONSCIOUSNESS

Our understanding of the physical world is based on classical physics concepts like time, space, matter, and energy. But how do we explain phenomena like clairvoyance and precognition that challenge these principles? Could quantum physics provide the answers?

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?

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.
