Views from Underground
Hosted by Michael Gallagher · EN
This channel is a research project, exploring spirituality, philosophy, and individuality. My preconceived ideas change from time to time. I like hearing people’s stories though, especially if they've got a transformative air about them. The stories I focus on here are usually of a philosophical or spiritual nature.

Transcribe →Dr. Andrew Silverman (Consciousness, NDE's, Turin Shroud)
Aug 401:33:53Tap to summarizeDr. Andrew Silverman has been conducting research on the ‘mind-matter continuum’ and near death experiences for over thirty years. He is a medical doctor and author of A Burst of Conscious Light.His findings have been presented in peer-reviewed scientific papers and at international scientific conferences. He has presented papers to the Scientific and Medical Network and the Society for Scientific Exploration. At an annual SSE conference in San Francisco he was introduced as a pioneer among a new generation of scientists who see that evidence from many disparate fields of enquiry all points to a conclusion that consciousness is fundamental and not merely a product of matter. At that conference he was a member of a panel of three scientists for a panel discussion on the topic of whether consciousness could ever be manufactured.In his book 'A Burst of Conscious Light' Dr. Andrew Silverman provides evidence that human consciousness can never be reproduced and exposes the perils of artificial intelligence. Some of the plaudits for his book are included below:“This groundbreaking book presents cogent scientific evidence that the light that many people experience in near-death experiences is not an artifact of a dying brain but is indeed the fundamental basis for existence itself. A very original book that is based on up-to-date interpretations of modern science. Highly recommended.” - Pim van Lommel, cardiologist and author of Consciousness beyond Life.“Dr Silverman’s brilliant opus represents an important milestone in catalyzing this world awakening, which ultimately will weave science and spirituality together again for the betterment of all humankind!” - Eben Alexander M.D.. neurosurgeon and author of Living in a Mindful Universe, Proof of Heaven and The Map of Heavenhttp://andrewsilverman.co.uk/ http://lightoftheshroud.com/Watch the full interview here! https://open.substack.com/pub/viewsfromunderground/p/consciousness-ndes-turin-shroud-dr?r=1u04t8&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=falseCheck out Mick's YouTube channel here:https://www.youtube.com/@themickgallagherBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/views-from-underground--6201898/support.
Transcribe →Dr. Rick Spence (Aleister Crowley)
Aug 300:41:10Tap to summarizeRichard Spence's book "Secret Agent 666: Aleister Crowley, British Intelligence and the Occult" explores the controversial life of Aleister Crowley, a renowned occultist and writer, and his involvement with British intelligence during World War I.The book examines Crowley's connections to various intelligence agencies, including the British Secret Service, and the extent of his involvement in covert operations during the war. It also sheds light on Crowley's influence on other notable figures of the time, including Winston Churchill and Ian Fleming, the author of the James Bond series. It's a fascinating exploration of the intersection between the world of espionage and the occult, and the ways in which the two worlds were intertwined during a critical period in history. It offers a unique perspective on Crowley's life and legacy, and provides insight into the often-secretive world of intelligence operations during the early 20th century.Grab your copy of Prof. Richard Spence's book here:https://amzn.to/4mcmCLrWatch the full interview here:https://viewsfromunderground.substack.com/p/was-aleister-crowley-a-british-spy?r=1u04t8Check out Mick's YouTube here:https://www.youtube.com/@themickgallagherBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/views-from-underground--6201898/support.
