The Consciousness Project - Mind Shift – Exploring the Edge of Human Consciousness - Season 1
What if the U.S. Army once tried to scientifically explain out-of-body experiences, time travel, and the nature of the soul?
Welcome to Mind Shift, the documentary-style podcast that journeys through the strangest corners of human consciousness research — from Cold-War intelligence experiments to cutting-edge neuroscience and ancient spiritual wisdom.
Kate takes you from the secret 1983 Army report "Analysis of The Gateway Experience," to the modern labs studying Tibetan monks, virtual-reality meditation, and brain-computer interfaces. Along the way, you’ll uncover how sound frequencies, gamma-wave brain states, and centuries-old meditation maps all point to one radical idea: that consciousness may be the next great frontier of human evolution.
Across ten cinematic episodes, Mind Shift connects the dots between:
U.S. military psychic-research programs like Project Stargate and the Monroe Institute’s Hemi-Sync experiments
The holographic-universe theory and the physics of consciousness
Hindu and Buddhist meditation states that mirror Monroe’s “Focus Levels”
Cutting-edge neuroimaging reveals monks generating brain activity “never seen before”
The rise of AI and neurotech that may soon reverse-engineer enlightenment
Whether you’re a skeptic, a scientist, or a seeker, Mind Shift invites you to rethink what you believe about reality itself, and consider how ancient wisdom, modern technology, and military curiosity might be converging to expand what it means to be human.

Curious about the real story behind government research into psychic abilities and the mysteries of consciousness? In this captivating solo episode, host Kate takes listeners on a journey from declassified military programs to cutting-edge neuroscience, challenging what we think we know about the power of the mind. Whether you’re a skeptic or a believer, this episode invites you to reconsider where the boundaries between science and speculation really lie.In today’s installment of Mind Shift, Kate unpacks the aftermath and ongoing legacy of the Gateway research, connecting Cold War intrigue with present-day scientific debates. You’ll dive into how serious scientists and intelligence agencies became invested in techniques like remote viewing and altered states of consciousness, and grapple with the lingering question—do these tools reveal hidden truths, or simply expand our sense of ourselves?"Even if out of body experiences don't involve consciousness literally leaving the body, they might reveal something important about how the brain constructs our sense of self and reality." ~KateToday on Mind Shift:· The historical backdrop of Lt. Col. McDonnell’s Gateway report and its Cold War significance· How the CIA’s Stargate program shaped the U.S. government’s psychic research efforts· Key contributions from mainstream scientists like Itzhak Bentov, Carl Pribram, and Charles Tart· The science behind binaural beats and the legitimacy of hemi-sync technology· Holographic models of brain function and what they mean for memory and perception· Differentiating between rigorously established science and speculative theories· Neuroscientific insights on out-of-body experiences and the sense of self· Ongoing debates around whether remote viewing accesses real information or just taps unconscious memory· The ambiguous legacy of declassified experiments—statistical oddities, questionable results, and enduring mysteries· How the Gateway program influenced both scientific discussion and popular imagination· The shift from psychic superpowers to human development and psychological integration· Reflections on open-minded research and the continuing relevance of consciousness studies todayMentioned Resources:· Itzhak Bentov – Research on meditation and physiological change; author of Stalking the Wild Pendulum· Carl Pribram – Holographic brain theory; neuroscientist· Charles Tart – Investigator of altered states of consciousness· CIA Stargate Program – Archival research on remote viewing and psychic phenomena· The Holographic Principle – Current theoretical physics literature· Stuart Hameroff and Roger Penrose – Quantum theories of consciousnessThe Consciousness Project and Mind Shift Podcast are brought to you by AuthentaTag™ (http://authentatag.com/)
