The discussion begins with Art introducing the evening’s guest, Dr. Barbi Taylor. Dr. Taylor, based in Las Vegas, is known for her extensive research in the paranormal and has interacted with notable figures in the field, such as Dr. Steven Greer and Dr. Raymond Moody. She initially worked on human sexuality before transitioning to parapsychology. Art also mentions Dr. Kath, who investigated a case that inspired the movie “The Entity,” and urges listeners to view related photographs on his website.
Dr. Taylor shares her background in clinical psychology, having earned her PhD from the University of Washington in Seattle in 1978. She describes her journey from focusing on human sexuality to becoming interested in parapsychology. Despite her initial aim to direct a sexology program at a major university, she grew disillusioned with the politics in academia and chose to pursue research, writing, and therapy independently. Dr. Taylor’s career path led her to the Center for Medical and Sexual Studies in Long Beach, California, and eventually to private practice.
The segment also touches on Dr. Taylor’s personal experiences, including attending a conference on consciousness and her daughter’s unusual experiences, which piqued her interest in psychic phenomena. This curiosity led her to explore the subject further, including attending talks by notable figures like Olga Worrall, a famous healer, and learning about psychic children.
They discuss the common belief that we only use a small percentage of our brain’s potential. Dr. Taylor mentions techniques like Feldenkrais, which help develop new neural pathways, indicating the brain’s remarkable ability to adapt and rewire itself, especially after injuries.
The conversation shifts to psychic abilities and the potential for the human mind to achieve much more than we currently understand. Art inquires about the extent of our knowledge regarding the brain’s functions and its mapping, akin to the human genome project. Dr. Taylor, acknowledging her background in psycho-physiology, admits that her expertise is not in the physiology of the brain but rather its psyche.
Dr. Taylor recounts her experiences with remote viewing, a topic of significant interest in the show. She describes her visit to the Stanford Research Institute, where she met with pioneers in the field, Russell Targ and Harold Puthoff. This early exposure to remote viewing, before its military applications became prominent, influenced her interest in the discipline.
The discussion then turns to the validity of remote viewing as a scientific discipline. Dr. Taylor believes it to be a valid field with systematic protocols, but also notes the potential for ‘bleed-through’ or interaction effects between the monitor and the remote viewer. She references Courtney Brown’s book “Cosmic Voyage” and her insights into the interactions between Brown and his monitor, which may have influenced the remote viewing sessions. Dr. Taylor emphasizes the need to consider these interactions when evaluating remote viewing results, suggesting a complex interplay between the viewer and their environment.
Art and Dr. Barbi Taylor continue their discussion on remote viewing. They explore the idea that remote viewers can detect the presence of another viewer and the potential for interference or ‘entrainment’ when multiple viewers focus on the same target. Dr. Taylor mentions her conversation with Courtney Brown about the Hale-Bopp comet and how the viewer’s focus and distractions can influence remote viewing sessions.
The conversation then shifts to discrepancies in remote viewing results, particularly between Courtney Brown’s group and the Foresight Institute. Dr. Taylor shares an anecdote about an FAA associate who, through intensive hypnosis, provided detailed information supportive of Brown’s group’s findings regarding TWA Flight 800. This information, which included names, locations, and potential cover-up details, was sent to the FBI.
Dr. Taylor also discusses her involvement with the Bigelow Foundation, which began with her interest in the Roper Study. This study, akin to a Gallup poll, included questions to identify potential abduction experiences without leading the respondents. Surprised by the significant affirmative responses, the study led to a booklet distributed to therapists nationwide. Dr. Taylor’s inquiry about the booklet led to her contact with Mr. Bigelow and her subsequent involvement with his work.
The segment concludes with Art Bell teasing the next part of the show, promising to cover more intriguing topics with Dr. Taylor. He briefly touches on the topic of levitation, asserting its possibility and mentioning an object that can hover in midair through magnetism, intriguing listeners with the promise of further exploration of such phenomena.
Next they discuss the Roper Study, which aimed to identify potential abduction experiences through embedded questions in a survey. The study revealed a significant number of people reporting experiences that could be related to alien abductions. This led to an educational initiative for therapists, with seminars across the country to discuss the findings and the possibility that some experiences attributed to child or sexual abuse might actually relate to abductions.
Dr. Taylor then shares her personal journey with the Bigelow Foundation. Initially contacted by Mr. Bigelow, she engaged in discussions about her work and interests in UFOs. Surprisingly, she was tasked with finding the world’s greatest medium, a project that took her on a five-month global research journey. Through this project, she discovered that the United Kingdom, particularly London, was a hotspot for quality mediums. Her definition of a medium focused on individuals who could act as a go-between for those who have lost loved ones.
Dr. Taylor’s project involved not only identifying mediums but also evaluating them through personal sessions. This experience led her to believe in the thin veil between our world and the ‘other side.’ She also mentions her interaction with Dr. Raymond Moody, known for his work on near-death experiences, and her interest in whether there was any training for therapists in this field.
The segment concludes with Dr. Taylor affirming her belief in the existence of an ‘other side,’ suggesting that paranormal experiences might be more common than we think. She speculates that in certain states of consciousness, like dreaming, our normal defense mechanisms are lowered, making us more receptive to these experiences.
Art shares his personal experience with precognition, a powerful and unexplainable event that left a profound impact on him. Dr. Taylor relates this to her findings that connections with loved ones are the most common paranormal experiences reported by people.
The conversation then shifts to Dr. Taylor’s research into mediums. She describes her extensive reading and interactions with mediums, including a significant meeting with George Anderson, a well-known medium. Anderson provided remarkably accurate information about Dr. Taylor’s father and grandfather, despite having no prior knowledge about her or her family. This experience reinforced her belief in the thin veil between the living and the ‘other side.’
Dr. Taylor also recounts a session with another medium in Las Vegas, who similarly connected with her father, providing specific and accurate details. These experiences led her to feel a stronger connection with her father, even in his role on the ‘other side,’ particularly in the field of alternative medicine, which was a shared interest.
Art Bell inquires about the nature of the ‘other side,’ pondering whether it is a continuation of our current consciousness. Dr. Taylor’s experiences with mediums suggest that there is a conscious remembrance of life and possibly an ongoing involvement in interests and activities from their earthly life.
Finally, Dr. Taylor discusses the outcome of her project commissioned by Mr. Bigelow. She wrote weekly reports on her findings and did not encounter fraud in her direct experiences, although she acknowledges that fraud has been a part of spiritualism historically. She concludes that her research into mediums was positive and suggests that the ‘other side’ might be a different dimension, a topic she explores in her upcoming book “Break the Butterflies.”
In this segment they delve deeper into the concept of different dimensions and the possibility of communication with the ‘other side.’ Dr. Taylor discusses the idea of the Earth going through a frequency or dimensional shift, suggesting that many phenomena, including interactions with the ‘other side,’ are a matter of different vibrational frequencies. She believes that there are occurrences around us that we don’t perceive because they exist at frequencies beyond our sensory range.
The conversation then turns to the potential of hard science creating a device for direct interaction with the ‘other side.’ Dr. Taylor mentions the work of Angela Thompson and Philip, who were researching electronic devices for communicating with the other side. She recalls a project in Europe where computer monitors were used to receive images and communications, possibly from figures like Einstein and Nikola Tesla.
Art Bell speculates about the development of a ‘gate’ that could allow transition between our world and the ‘other side,’ acknowledging the profound impact such a discovery would have on the world. Dr. Taylor shares Dr. Raymond Moody’s research, which involved using mirrors as reflective devices for facilitating experiences akin to near-death experiences. She describes a proposed experiment involving a dome structure with a mirror, where a person nearing death, accompanied by a facilitator, could potentially journey partway into the ‘other side.’
Dr. Taylor compares this technological approach to the practices of shamans who have, for thousands of years, been able to journey into different dimensions for healing or guiding the dying process. She expresses fascination with this blend of technology and ancient shamanic practices.
The segment concludes with Dr. Taylor praising Dr. Moody’s scholarly and compassionate approach to his research. She mentions his hesitancy to discuss some of his ongoing research, hinting at the depth and potential sensitivity of his work in exploring the boundaries between life and death, and the understanding of ancient practices related to these experiences.
Art begins by expressing frustration with the poor telephone connection to Las Vegas, despite being relatively close in Pahrump, Nevada. He notes better connections with far-off locations like Cairo, London, and Tokyo.
Art then encourages listeners to visit his website to view photographs related to the “Entity” case, which Dr. Barry Taff, a previous guest on Dreamland, investigated. These photographs, from a real case that inspired the movie “The Entity,” show a young lady surrounded by an unexplained energy, captured by witnesses from a major university.
He also mentions his conversation with Mr. KABC, a fellow radio host who, like Art, does not screen calls for his show. Art appreciates this approach for its spontaneity and fun.
Art briefly touches on a mysterious radio signal he encountered on 5720 kHz lower sideband. He asks listeners to inform him if they hear the signal again, expressing curiosity about its origin and nature.
Returning to the topic of the ‘other side,’ Art recaps the discussion with Dr. Taylor about the possibility of creating a ‘gate’ through hard science to facilitate transference between this world and the ‘other side.’ He speculates on the implications of such a discovery, pondering whether it involves the nature of time or dimensionality.
Art reads a fax from a listener, Bob in Austin, Texas, who shares a thought-provoking perspective on life and death. Bob suggests that the dividing line between death and the afterlife is not as distinct as we might think and that we are spiritual beings on a human journey, rather than human beings on a spiritual journey.
The segment concludes with Art planning to take a few calls and then pick up the conversation with Dr. Barbi Taylor at the bottom of the hour, continuing the exploration of these deep and intriguing topics.
The first caller shares a personal experience of dying in 1991 due to a heart attack. He describes hearing a voice guiding him to safety before losing consciousness and then experiencing an out-of-body sensation, feeling as if he were lying on the back of a truck. The caller believes that this experience was his journey to the ‘other side,’ where he encountered a tunnel with flashing lights and a bright light at the end. He also mentions communicating through telepathy and being able to move instantly from one place to another while out of his body.
The caller’s story takes a turn when he reveals that he was sent to a psychiatrist after sharing his experience at the hospital. He suggests that he downplayed his experience to the psychiatrist to avoid being labeled as having a psychiatric illness.
Art Bell reflects on the caller’s story, acknowledging that many people who have near-death experiences or claim to have seen a divine presence are often sent to psychiatrists. He suggests that some might downplay their experiences to avoid being perceived as mentally ill.
The segment continues with another caller who is cut off for not being a first-time caller, followed by a third caller from Yakima. This caller discusses the difficulty of receiving the show’s signal in Iowa and briefly mentions a previous show guest. The conversation shifts to TV shows, with the caller expressing mixed feelings about a particular show and stating a preference for Art Bell’s radio show.
The next caller, from Saint Louis, recounts being shot four times and experiencing strange phenomena afterward. He describes being treated as an outpatient despite his severe injuries and feeling that things were not quite right when he returned home. The caller then shares a bizarre experience of traveling to Canada’s Thousand Islands, where he got separated from his friend and encountered a vehicle surrounded by a rainbow of light. He reveals that he was in a coma for three weeks during this time, suggesting that he experienced an alternate reality.
Art Bell reflects on the caller’s story, emphasizing the idea of living in another reality and then returning to our world. He finds the caller’s experience fascinating, particularly how the physical setup and people were different in this alternate reality, and how the caller’s boss, who was typically out of character, gave him a trip to Canada.
The segment transitions to a commercial break, where Art Bell discusses a product related to prostate health. He mentions Dr. Michael Lewinsky, who developed a natural remedy for prostate enlargement, and promotes Physicians Choice, the company distributing this product.
Art discusses a product offer for a natural remedy for prostate enlargement, emphasizing its straightforward and honest approach. He then mentions the GMX Magnetic Air Conditioning System, which eliminates mineral buildup in water pipes and appliances, highlighting its simplicity and effectiveness.
Unable to reach Dr. Barbi Taylor at a new number, Art decides to continue with open lines. He reflects on the previous caller’s story about being shot and experiencing an alternate reality, pondering the possibility of alternative realities or dimensions.
Dr. Taylor eventually calls back, and they discuss the concept of separate realities. She recalls a story from Whitley Strieber’s book “Communion,” where he describes a momentary shift into a completely different reality. This story resonates with the experiences shared by previous callers, suggesting that such shifts might be related to time warps or dimensional shifts.
Dr. Taylor also talks about her work with Dr. Steven Greer of CSETI (Center for the Study of Extraterrestrial Intelligence). She was the working group coordinator in Las Vegas, conducting field research in the desert using consciousness protocols to interact with extraterrestrial intelligence. She mentions being part of the executive council, gathering credible evidence for briefing world leaders about extraterrestrial presence and advocating for diplomacy and citizen contact with extraterrestrials.
She left the study to focus on her book but notes that the project continued with Dr. Greer briefing high-level government officials. There was also a mention of a video from Scotland, reported by Linda, which was believed to be significant evidence of extraterrestrial activity.
Dr. Taylor talks about the annual International UFO Congress in Laughlin, Nevada, and the possibility of showing a video from Scotland that has been widely discussed on the internet. She shares an extraordinary experience she had in Mexico in 1993, where she and a group were conducting research on UFOs. They witnessed an amber light between two volcanoes, which approached them closely. Dr. Taylor describes the UFO as a large, silent object with white and red lights, which caused all their equipment to shut off due to its electromagnetic impact.
Art Bell then raises the possibility that these UFOs could be advanced Earth-based technology, perhaps from secret projects like those rumored to be at Area 51. He recounts his own close encounter with a triangular UFO in Nevada, which was silent and floated across the valley. He speculates that people involved in UFO research, like Dr. Greer and himself, might be deliberately targeted or ‘toyed with’ by those operating these crafts.
Dr. Taylor agrees that there are likely multiple groups involved in the UFO phenomenon, each with their own agendas. She believes that some UFOs interact with certain elements of the government and may be related to advanced terrestrial technologies. However, she feels that the UFO they encountered in Mexico was not of this nature, especially considering the surge in UFO sightings in Mexico City following the solar eclipse on July 11, 1991.
Dr. Taylor talks about the normalization of UFO sightings in Mexico City, where such occurrences have become a regular topic on local television. She mentions several near collisions between aircraft and unidentified objects in the area. She recounts another UFO sighting she experienced, this time involving a triangular craft, which was observed on two consecutive nights. The craft was described as having a distinctive light pattern and being close enough for detailed observation.
Art Bell expresses confusion about the nature of these objects, questioning whether they are part of a mystical experience or solid craft from elsewhere. He wonders if these UFOs are popping in and out of other dimensions or if they are from a distant place.
Dr. Taylor believes that it could be a combination of both. She suggests that there are physical craft that have the knowledge and ability to travel dimensionally, appearing and disappearing from our perception. She also speculates that these crafts could be located on the ground or in remote areas.
The conversation then shifts to a commercial break, where Art Bell discusses various products and services, including a weight loss supplement and a newsletter on the decline of the American dollar.
Dr. Taylor suggests that the current era, which she refers to as “the quickening,” involves a shift between the third and fourth dimensions. She believes that people who are awakening to a higher level of consciousness may experience more of these interdimensional phenomena during this time of great change. She also discusses the possibility of a breakdown between dimensions, allowing for more direct interactions between them.
Art Bell and Dr. Taylor explore the idea that UFOs and extraterrestrial beings have been interacting with humans throughout history. Dr. Taylor posits that these beings may have a more advanced understanding of dimensions and time, allowing them to travel in ways that are currently beyond human comprehension. She suggests that time is a human construct and may not exist in the same linear form in other dimensions or for extraterrestrial beings.
The show then transitions to taking calls from listeners. One caller discusses the concept of time and its relation to human mortality and daily activities. Another caller inquires about using techniques to draw extraterrestrial beings into our atmosphere and the possibility of contacting missing persons, such as POWs, through mediums.
Dr. Taylor responds to these inquiries, emphasizing the importance of political and diplomatic efforts in addressing issues like missing persons. She also acknowledges the potential use of new technologies and techniques in these areas.
The segment concludes with a caller expressing concern about his son, who was recently hospitalized and given medication that led to him hearing voices, including those of aliens and his deceased grandfather. This call ties back to Dr. Taylor’s earlier discussion about the thin veil between dimensions and how certain individuals might be more susceptible to these experiences.
Dr. Taylor talks about Sai Baba, a holy man in India known for miraculous occurrences, and her own experiences related to meditation and altered states of consciousness. She describes how she felt she was being taught in her sleep by a spiritual teacher, indicating a heightened state of awareness and learning beyond the normal waking state.
The conversation then shifts to remote viewing. A caller asks if remote viewing can be used for personal gain, such as betting on horse races. Dr. Taylor explains that remote viewing involves using specific protocols to tune into distant locations or targets, often involving drawing, which taps into the intuitive right brain processes. She acknowledges the remarkable accuracy achieved in remote viewing but does not directly address its use for personal gain.
Another caller raises ethical concerns about remote viewing, particularly the idea of entering someone’s consciousness without permission, comparing it to entering someone’s house uninvited. Dr. Taylor agrees that there should be a level of integrity and ethics in using such abilities. She also mentions her upcoming book, which deals with personal changes during “the quickening” and how it affects individuals at a personal level.
The segment concludes with Art Bell mentioning Dr. Taylor’s private practice and consultation services in Las Vegas, providing contact information for listeners interested in reaching out to her.
Dr. Taylor talks about a group in Las Vegas who attempted to use remote viewing for gambling purposes, particularly for horse races. She notes that the group faced difficulties and negative consequences, suggesting that using such abilities for personal gain can attract negativity and lead to spiritual instability. She also mentions the challenges faced by participants in the military’s remote viewing program, who encountered entities and experiences beyond their intended targets.
A caller shares his first OBE, describing how he felt elevated from his car and floated above his bed, seeing his wife and himself. He recounts the disorienting experience and how he managed to relax during the process. Dr. Taylor responds by sharing her own experiences and research into OBEs. She mentions reading Robert Monroe’s book “Journeys Out of the Body” and meeting him to discuss experiences not included in his book. Dr. Taylor also describes her vivid OBE during a formal meditation session and how she immediately awoke when she became conscious of the experience.
One caller from Sacramento, California, asks about the nature of these experiences, but the conversation is interrupted due to poor phone quality.
A caller shares his experience of an OBE, describing a vivid and disorienting sensation of floating above his bed. Dr. Taylor responds by discussing the possibility that entities encountered during OBEs might be other people also experiencing OBEs. She also touches on the concept of astral entities, suggesting that some might be spirits that have not moved on in their spiritual growth.
Another caller inquires about remote viewing and its potential use for exploring space or civilian reconnaissance of Area 51. Dr. Taylor prefers to focus on the first question, discussing the nature of entities and spirits in relation to OBEs.
A caller from Nashville shares an unusual experience of a bright flash and a sensation similar to being hit by electricity. Dr. Taylor relates this to her own experiences with vibrational sensations during meditation and OBE practices. She suggests that such experiences could be manifestations of spiritual awakening and physical adjustments to higher frequencies.
Art Bell and Dr. Taylor discuss the concept of “the quickening,” a term Bell uses to describe the current period of significant spiritual change. They agree that many people are experiencing a spiritual awakening, affecting them on multiple levels, including physically, spiritually, and politically.
