May 1, 2001: Antarctica, Mars - Richard C. Hoagland | Psychic Healing - Alan Mesher
Key Moments
Open transcriptNSA in Antarctica - what are they doing there?Hoagland reports that JPL's Frank Carsey said on the record the NSA has been operating at Vostok for decades, raising the question of why the 'deepest, blackest agency' is stationed in the whitest place on Earth.
Space station computers all crash before Tito arrivesHoagland details the simultaneous catastrophic failure of every ISS computer system - including S-band and Ku-band TV - just before Dennis Tito's arrival, killing live US coverage of the first paying space tourist.
Mesherthe two purposes of life: Mesher answers Art's opening question by splitting the purpose of life into material success and the spiritual task of knowing self and attaining higher consciousness, then defends why the two need not be at odds.
Why the world feels meanerenergy in the lower centers: Mesher argues we are in a 'cusp period' where human energy is being drawn into the lower chakras, producing the incivility, self-absorption, sexualization, and crudeness flooding modern life.
The cervical cancer healing - and Art's placebo challengeMesher recounts a documented case where a woman with cervical cancer experienced a past-life vision of being murdered in German, then a 'pastel golden' energy shift, and tested clear at her doctor afterward. Art presses on placebo effect.
The conversation turns to the Mars Odyssey spacecraft, which captured an image of Antarctica as it departed Earth, and the implications of what may lie beneath Lake Vostok. Hoagland shares details about the PAX TV Mars special and addresses criticism from fellow researchers in the field.
In the second half, healer and author Alan Mesher joins Art to discuss the purpose of life, the tension between material success and spiritual growth, and the concept of a planetary "cusp period" of chaos and transformation. Mesher describes his healing work and shares a past-life regression case involving a woman with cervical cancer.
