He critiques the US’s stringent no-smoking policies on flights, noting the relative freedom in France. Art also touches on the attitudes of the French, suggesting they think too highly of themselves, but concedes that Americans and Brazilians also have strong national attitudes.
Art transitions to discussing the World Cup, expressing his newfound appreciation for soccer after watching an exciting match where Brazil defeated the Netherlands. He previews the upcoming semifinal between France and Croatia, predicting a likely victory for France but noting Croatia’s surprising performance. Art speculates on the reaction in Paris if France wins the final against Brazil, suggesting it would lead to significant celebrations.
Shifting to other news, Art mentions that Clinton has endorsed a gun access bill that would impose federal penalties on adults who do not securely store their firearms if those guns are used by children to cause harm. He questions whether this is an appropriate area for federal legislation. Additionally, Art discusses a Reuters story suggesting that black individuals may absorb nicotine more readily than white individuals, leading to greater difficulty in quitting smoking.
Art continues his discussion on various topics. He mentions Japan’s burgeoning space program, including their recent launch of a probe to Mars, questioning the rationale behind it given their current economic challenges. He speculates on Japan’s potential manned space missions and ponders what new information they could gather from Mars that hasn’t already been discovered by the US and Russia. A fax from a US Marine confirms the extreme heat in Kuwait, citing a temperature of 148°F.
Art announces the upcoming guest, Neil Slade, who claims to have the ability to control weather and cloud formations using his brain. Slade’s claims and proof are available on his website, which Art encourages listeners to visit. He remains intrigued by Japan’s space ambitions, particularly their manned space program and recent Mars probe launch.
A caller from Michigan praises Howard Stern, leading to a brief humorous exchange. Another caller from Regina, Saskatchewan, discusses the recent high temperatures, contrasting them with the even hotter weather Art experienced. They speculate that Japan’s Mars probe might have been funded before the current financial troubles and aims to study the Martian atmosphere.
Art discusses a variety of topics, starting with a call from a listener who speculates that Japan might be launching space probes to Mars because they don’t trust NASA. Art finds Japan’s investment in their space program curious, especially given their economic challenges. He also mentions the possibility of a manned mission to Mars by Japan, questioning the financial feasibility.
The show features calls from listeners, including one from Seattle named Aryan, who inquires about Japan’s space program. Art humorously pretends to withhold information, maintaining his curiosity about Japan’s ambitions. Another caller from Pennsylvania asks about future guests and suggests having John Leary, a self-proclaimed modern-day prophet who predicts events like stock market crashes and famine.
Art continues to cover a range of topics on the show. He talks about Nikola Tesla, noting that while Tesla was a real person and a genius, his reputation may have grown beyond reality, much like old Western gunfighters. The conversation shifts to Chuck Smith, a former CNN reporter who was fired for covering a story on Laos, leading to a discussion on the implications of media firings and the story’s authenticity.
Art receives a call from a listener who connects current volcanic activity around the world to prophetic warnings, linking it to potential geopolitical events.

Art’s discussion continues with various topics, beginning with a caller from Tampa, Florida, who praises Art for seeming more relaxed after his vacation and inquires about the return of guest Robert Lazar. Art confirms that Lazar, known for his consistent and credible stories about UFOs and propulsion techniques, will be invited back. Another caller asks about Alex Collier, a contactee who reportedly wanted to be on the show, but Art does not recall any communication with him.
The show shifts to a listener’s question about a supposed bombing in Iraq, which Art clarifies as a radar-targeting incident involving British and American planes, resulting in a missile launch that missed its target. Meredith from Cedar Park, Texas, shares a news story about 4 million trees falling in the Piney Woods due to a thunderstorm, speculating that the jet stream might be responsible. Art agrees, explaining that straight-line winds from the jet stream are causing such incidents and reflecting on the broader changes in weather patterns.
Meredith also mentions being a born-again Christian and reassures Art that not all Christians view his program negatively. She shares her belief that weather conditions will continue to worsen, a sentiment Art acknowledges as shared by many, including religious figures like Malachi Martin. He suggests that the next step is to prepare for these changes.
Art introduces Neil Slade, a musical composer, performer, author, and artist, known for his work on brain self-control and creativity. Slade explains his background, including his collaboration with brain researcher T.D.A. Lingo, and his efforts to teach advanced brain techniques to students and audiences. Slade’s latest book, “The Frontal Lobes Supercharge,” serves as a guide to accessing untapped areas of the brain, particularly the frontal lobes, which are linked to creativity and intelligence.
Art and Slade discuss Sony Corporation’s research on extrasensory perception (ESP). Sony confirmed the existence of ESP but discontinued the research due to a lack of practical applications. Slade asserts that the abilities like ESP and weather control may lie within the unused 90% of the brain, particularly the frontal lobes. He describes the frontal lobes as the most advanced part of the brain, explaining that past experiments with lobotomies revealed their significant yet often dormant potential.
Slade elaborates on the evolution and function of the frontal lobes, emphasizing that while they are minimally active in most people, they hold immense potential. He notes that lobotomies were discontinued as they were not effective in treating psychotic behavior and were replaced by drug treatments, which are also not ideal. Slade argues that understanding and utilizing the frontal lobes could unlock powerful abilities, such as ESP and weather control, though this area of research remains largely untapped.
Art and Neil Slade continue their discussion on the human brain, focusing on its layered structure. Slade compares the brain to an apple, with the core representing the reptile brain, which is responsible for basic survival instincts like self-defense and reproduction. This part of the brain reacts rather than thinks and is highly competitive. Slade humorously likens this to the behavior of some radio talk show hosts, who thrive on conflict and competition.
Slade appreciates Art for his more frontal lobe-driven behavior, characterized by respectful and intelligent discussions, even with differing opinions. He explains that the next layer, the mammal brain, surrounds the reptile brain and adds emotions and basic social behaviors, allowing for cooperative actions similar to those seen in wolves or gorillas. This brain layer can either revert to reptilian aggression or move forward to cooperative behavior based on the environment, without much control over the response.
The conversation highlights how different brain layers are activated in various situations, such as a threat triggering the reptile brain or competitive sports involving both mammal and reptile brain activities. Slade emphasizes the importance of understanding these brain functions to better harness the potential of the frontal lobes for higher-level cognitive abilities and cooperative behavior.
Art and Neil Slade continue discussing the brain’s layers, comparing the reptilian and mammalian brains to the seed and core of an apple, respectively. Slade explains that the mammal brain contains gateway switches that control energy flow to higher brain parts, bridging the primitive and advanced regions. The outermost layer, the primate brain, includes the frontal lobes and constitutes five-sixths of the brain’s volume. It handles complex behaviors like abstract thought, planning, creativity, and cooperation, summarized by the acronym CECIL (Creativity, Imagination, Cooperation, Intuition, Logic).
Slade points out that while the potential of the frontal lobes is immense, cultural conditioning often traps people in their reptilian brain, focused on basic survival and competitive behaviors. He emphasizes the complexity of the brain, highlighting its billions of neurons and supportive glial cells, and argues that people need to learn how to activate the more advanced parts of their brains.
Art inquires whether humanity is evolving towards greater access to the creative, civilized portions of the brain or devolving away from it. Slade believes society is at a tipping point and could go either way. He mentions the work of T.D.A. Lingo, who aimed to teach people how to use their full brain potential, and reflects on historical movements like the “Summer of Love,” which ultimately fizzled out.
As the discussion progresses, Slade prepares to delve into how properly activating the frontal lobes can lead to extraordinary abilities, including weather control, which they will discuss further after a break.
Art and Neil Slade continue their conversation about the brain and its potential. Art mentions a new crop circle in Cranfield, Hampshire, and plans to discuss crop circles with a reporter from Great Britain in an upcoming show. He also talks about an intriguing ghost photograph he sent to his webmaster, Keith, for posting on the website. Art requests Linda Moulton Howe to contact him regarding another matter.
Neil Slade discusses the capabilities of the frontal lobes and how modern imaging techniques like MRIs and PET scans have helped scientists understand brain functions better. He recalls a previous show featuring a satanist named Harlot, during which an unexplained photograph appeared on Art’s webcam. Slade suggests that the photograph captured energy pathways in the brain, likening it to images shown in Discovery Channel videos. He explains that the photograph shows a flash of light around Art’s frontal lobes, which he believes represents brain energy.
Art confirms the details, noting that the photograph was taken at a time-stamped moment when Harlot mentioned her wish for her child’s soul to join her in hell. This moment stands out as one of the eeriest in Art’s radio career, coinciding with the mysterious photograph.
Neil Slade and Art Bell delve deeper into the eerie photograph that appeared during a past interview. Slade explains that Art’s conversation with the satanist, Harlot, triggered a defensive response, engaging his reptilian brain. The reptilian brain’s energy can either be blocked or flow forward to the frontal lobes, depending on the situation. During the conversation, when Harlot mentioned “his essence” in reference to God, Art’s brain momentarily shifted from defense to connecting with a higher consciousness, releasing energy through the frontal lobes.
Slade describes the energy’s path through the brain, explaining that when it is blocked, it results in a negative, incomplete circuit. This was evident when Art felt defensive and haunted by the conversation. However, the mention of a higher power caused a release of this energy, visible in the photograph as a flash of light around Art’s frontal lobes.
Art acknowledges the intensity of the moment and refutes claims that the photograph showed smoke. Despite being a frequent smoker, he points out that no other photograph ever captured such an effect. Slade supports this by comparing it to wind tunnel experiments where smoke reveals airflow patterns. He suggests that the energy from Art’s brain might have ionized dust particles, forming the visible pattern in the photograph.
They discuss how this phenomenon illustrates the brain’s ability to connect with a higher force or universal energy, emphasizing the power of the frontal lobes when activated. Slade refers to another guest, Matthew Alper, who discussed the “God part of the brain” and how it helps humans cope with mortal fear by computing the concept of God.
Art and Neil Slade continue their intriguing discussion on brain energy and its practical applications. Slade elaborates on the photograph showing the brain’s energy flow, highlighting the amygdala switch’s location and the energy’s path through the brain. He encourages listeners to visit his website and view the “Art Bell Brain Energy Photo” to see the visual representation of neural energy.
Slade emphasizes that the energy seen in the photo is not smoke but an actual flow of brain energy, further validated by its exact timing and symmetry in numerology. He mentions a Zen saying to illustrate the dual nature of interpretations: while some may see a ghost, others with knowledge of neural pathways will recognize it as brain energy.
They delve into the potential of the human brain when accessing its full capabilities, with Slade explaining that understanding the brain’s structure allows individuals to control it better. They introduce the concept of cloud busting, where one can choose a cloud and make it disappear using focused mental energy. Slade asserts that this practice demonstrates the brain’s power and suggests that such abilities hint at limitless potential.
Art mentions that Neil’s website is experiencing high traffic due to interest in the topic and points out that there is video evidence of these abilities on the site. Slade confirms that he has been demonstrating these abilities for years and has proof available for viewers.
Art Bell continues his conversation with Neil Slade, discussing the concept of cloud busting and brain energy. Slade explains that he learned the technique of focusing and channeling energy during his time as a yoga and meditation instructor. He emphasizes that the ability to control this energy is real and has been clinically documented in yogis who can perform extraordinary feats, such as controlling heart rates and healing wounds quickly.
Slade decided to demonstrate this ability by dissipating clouds with the power of his mind. He describes how he set up a video experiment to prove this phenomenon. He chose a day with no wind to avoid interference, picked a cloud almost directly overhead, and focused his mental energy on creating a hole in the cloud without affecting the surrounding clouds. He recorded this process with his camera, ensuring that viewers could clearly see the clouds and their movement, or lack thereof.
He reassures listeners that this experiment is documented on his website, although high traffic might make it difficult to access immediately. Slade mentions that others, including some of his friends, have also learned this skill, and it is documented in literature like “Yoga, Youth, and Reincarnation.”
Art reiterates that such feats are possible with dedicated practice and mental discipline, highlighting the genuine power of the brain.
Neil Slade elaborates on the process of cloud busting. He describes how he focused his brain energy, bypassing the reptilian and mammalian parts to use his frontal lobes, and within three minutes, created a hole in a cloud bank while the surrounding clouds remained undisturbed. To ensure this was not a coincidence, he repeated the process with another cloud, achieving the same result. This demonstration was documented on his website, showing sequential photos that capture the transformation.
Listeners supported Neil’s claims with faxes stating they had also experienced similar phenomena. Neil shares that cloud busting is an ancient yogic practice to demonstrate control over brain energy. He recounts his time living with a man named George Green, who practiced and taught “instant meditation,” achieving remarkable feats like never hitting red lights while driving by focusing his thoughts.
Art shares his own experience of controlling traffic lights in Las Vegas using intense concentration. He connects this to Princeton’s research on the human brain’s ability to influence random number generators, further validating the power of focused thought.
Neil Slade and Art Bell discuss how the brain can influence outcomes, touching on the importance of mental state in achieving paranormal abilities. Neil explains that to access these abilities, such as cloud busting, one must be in a calm, clear state of mind, focused on higher brain functions rather than reptilian survival instincts. He emphasizes the need to switch the amygdala forward, which allows energy to flow to the frontal lobes, enabling extrasensory perceptions.
Art and Neil also discuss the limitations of using these abilities for personal gain, such as winning the lottery or gambling. Neil explains that such attempts are driven by the reptilian brain’s selfish impulses and are unlikely to succeed because true paranormal abilities are connected to the collective consciousness and universal connection. Using these powers for negative purposes is self-defeating because it creates empathetic feedback, making the user feel the harm they intend to inflict on others.
Neil provides a basic overview of cloud busting, comparing it to learning to play the piano. While anyone can press a key, mastering the instrument requires deeper understanding and practice. He suggests that similarly, cloud busting might be easy for some but require deeper mental discipline for others. Neil’s book, “The Frontal Lobe Supercharge,” offers detailed instructions for those struggling to achieve these abilities.
Art Bell and Neil Slade discuss how to tap into deeper brain levels to achieve cloud busting and other paranormal abilities. Neil emphasizes the importance of being in a calm, clear state of mind and allowing the process to happen naturally rather than forcing it. He compares this to flying a kite, where you let the wind lift it rather than trying to throw it up yourself.
Neil provides some practical advice for those interested in learning more. He gives out contact information for ordering his book, “The Frontal Lobes Supercharge,” which includes detailed instructions, charts, games, and information on tapping into these powers. The book can be ordered by calling 1-800-362-1670 or 1-888-682-7717, or by sending a check or money order to P.O. Box 6799, Denver, CO 80206.
To start with cloud busting, Neil explains the importance of locating the amygdala switch, which ensures that energy moves forward from the primitive parts of the brain to the more advanced parts that control paranormal abilities. He describes the amygdala as a walnut or almond-shaped part of the brain located about one inch inside each temple. For those without a computer, he provides a detailed explanation of its location, emphasizing the need to activate this area to achieve the desired mental state.
Neil assures listeners that with practice and the right mental approach, they can learn to harness their brain’s energy for extraordinary feats like cloud busting.
Neil Slade explains the process of activating the amygdala to move energy from the primitive parts of the brain to the frontal lobes. This process involves visualizing a toggle switch or feather lightly touching the amygdala, which helps to open up the imagination circuits in the frontal lobes. He assures that this requires very little concentration and is simpler than most people think.
For cloud busting, Neil advises going outside on a calm day with no wind, finding a comfortable spot to lie down or stand, and picking a small cumulus cloud with soft edges that looks stationary. He suggests focusing on a cloud that can be covered by the outstretched palm of your hand. By clicking the amygdala forward and visualizing energy flowing from the body through the spinal cord and brain to the frontal lobes, you can project this energy toward the cloud. This energy can be visualized as heat or simply as the cloud disappearing, imagining the area as clear blue sky.
Neil emphasizes that with practice, many people experience success with this method the first time they try it. He encourages listeners to give it a try and provides his email for feedback and questions.
Art then raises a larger question about the potential impact if hundreds of thousands or millions of people concentrated on a larger event simultaneously. Neil suggests that this could magnify the effect, and he hopes to explore this concept further during the show, proposing a collective experiment that has never been attempted before.
Neil Slade and Art Bell prepare for a collective experiment involving the listeners. Neil explains that focusing collective mental energy on a specific weather-related need can have significant effects, though he cautions that weather manipulation must be done thoughtfully to avoid unintended consequences. They decide to focus on the northeastern coast of Florida, which has been hit hard by fires and could benefit from rain.
Neil describes the process for listeners to participate in the experiment. First, he instructs them to visualize their amygdala, located about one inch inside each temple, and imagine clicking it forward. This visualization helps move energy from the primitive parts of the brain to the frontal lobes. Listeners are encouraged to face the direction of Florida and imagine energy flowing into their bodies through all senses, then directing this energy toward the sky.
Neil emphasizes the importance of merging individual energies into a collective consciousness. He encourages listeners to continue this process before bed, upon waking, and throughout the day to reinforce the effort. Art and Neil aim to harness the power of their large audience to create positive change and help bring rain to the affected area.
They plan to use the next five minutes, during a break, for listeners to begin this collective meditation and visualization exercise, aiming to maximize the impact of their combined mental focus.
Neil Slade continues guiding listeners through the collective experiment to bring rain to northeastern Florida. He emphasizes the importance of projecting positive, constructive energy from the frontal lobes, visualizing hands gently condensing water vapor over the state. He instructs listeners to imagine the energy condensing water vapor to form clouds and bring non-violent rainfall to the affected area.
During the break, Neil suggests additional techniques to enhance the experiment. He advises using both left-brain verbal skills and right-brain visual data. For this, he recommends creating a simple, childlike sketch of Florida, drawing a heart over the northeastern part, and writing “ten inches of rain” on the sketch, as this is the amount needed to alleviate the fires. Neil believes that combining these methods with the collective concentration of listeners can increase the chances of success.
Art reinforces the instructions, urging listeners to participate seriously and focus their mental energy on helping Florida. He also mentions a ghost photograph that he received, encouraging listeners to visit his website and view it.
They encourage listeners to keep the focus on the experiment, visualizing the rain over Florida during the commercial break and beyond.
Neil Slade continues guiding listeners through the visualization process for bringing rain to Florida. He suggests various creative methods to enhance the visualization, such as drawing a heart over Florida on a map and writing words like “relief” and “cool.” He encourages listeners in Florida to visualize rain falling directly, while those elsewhere can create models by sprinkling water over sketches of Florida or imagining people using umbrellas and rainwater flowing in the streets.
Neil emphasizes the importance of coming at the visualization from different angles to maximize brain energy flow. He advises using a garden hose to simulate rain, setting sticks on fire and putting them out, and visualizing thermometers showing dropping temperatures. This creative and playful approach helps engage the frontal lobes and direct energy toward the goal.
Art and Neil discuss the possibility of extending this experiment over several days to ensure its effectiveness. Neil mentions that satellite images of Florida can be used to visualize the cloud cover forming over the state.
Art reads a fax question about whether collective visualization could deflect a meteorite heading towards Earth. Neil responds by stressing the power of positive visualization. He suggests that positive energy could act as a protective shield, potentially buffering or delaying a catastrophic event. Neil encourages listeners to express gratitude towards nature, reinforcing the positive energy needed to protect the planet.
Neil Slade and Art Bell discuss the potential impact of positive collective visualization. Neil reiterates the importance of approaching visualizations from multiple angles to increase brain energy flow and effectiveness. Art brings up a recent conversation with James Redfield about how negative predictions can spur people into spiritual thinking and potentially mitigate negative outcomes.
Neil shares a story about George Green, who taught instant meditation and helped people see the consequences of their actions through astral projection. Green would guide people to visualize both the negative outcomes of their current actions and the positive changes that could occur with meditation and self-improvement.
Art recounts a personal experience in Paris where he had an out-of-body experience. He describes the sensation of suddenly and ecstatically shooting out of his body to a high altitude without any physical acceleration. Neil explains that such experiences can happen when the reptilian brain’s defenses are turned off during sleep, allowing energy to move into the frontal lobes.
They discuss the potential for harnessing collective mental energy for larger goals, such as deflecting a meteorite, by visualizing positive energy fields around the planet. Neil emphasizes the power of gratitude and positive visualization in creating protective energy.
Art announces that they will open the phone lines for callers to share their thoughts and questions about the power of the mind and collective visualization.
Art Bell continues with Neil Slade, discussing the power of the mind and various psychic abilities. They address questions from listeners, including one about remote viewing. Neil explains that remote viewing, or astral projection, was one of the first skills he learned. He shares a story about a friend who performs remote healing sessions and recently remotely viewed a woman’s house in Wyoming accurately, including her activities and surroundings, which the woman later confirmed.
Another caller asks about the relationship between these abilities and dream control or astral travel. Neil elaborates that during sleep, the reptilian brain’s fight or flight responses are mostly turned off, allowing energy to move into the frontal lobes. This shift enables dreaming and potentially connects individuals to precognitive fields. Dreams fulfill psychological needs and can have the same neurological effects as real-life events, helping maintain psychological balance and offering hints or warnings about future events.
Neil emphasizes the significance of understanding these mental processes and harnessing them for positive outcomes. He highlights how activities like meditation and visualization can help develop these abilities and contribute to overall mental well-being.
Neil Slade discusses further details of his experiences with remote viewing, astral projection, and dream control, emphasizing the role of the frontal lobes in accessing higher cognitive functions. He confirms that dreams serve to fulfill psychological needs and can offer precognitive insights. Neil reiterates that people can obtain his book “The Frontal Lobes Supercharge” by calling 1-800-362-1670 or 1-888-682-7717, or by sending $12.95 to P.O. Box 6799, Denver, Colorado 80206.
A caller named Sasha thanks Art for the show and asks Neil about the extent of his abilities. Neil, primarily a musician and composer, shares that his focus is on creating music, which he sees as a culmination of his brain’s creative potential. He values the simple joys in life, such as walking his dogs, and believes that enjoying everyday moments is the greatest gift.
Another caller from Arizona inquires about energy transference and seeing auras. Neil acknowledges the phenomenon and relates it to heightened perception when the frontal lobes are activated. He shares a story of a friend who, upon clicking into her frontal lobes, noticed a $20 bill on the ground that others had missed, highlighting how advanced brain functions can enhance awareness.
A caller from Ohio recounts a seemingly supernatural experience at a vending machine, where the machine dispensed Funyuns without payment.
Neil Slade shares a humorous anecdote about using a mantra to find parking spaces, attributing his success to repeating “L. Ron Hubbard.” This technique, which Neil initially learned from a Scientologist friend, humorously exemplifies the power of belief and visualization. Art Bell suggests using “Art Bell” as a mantra for seeing unusual lights in the sky.
A caller from Indiana shares her experience with the visualization exercise, feeling as if she left her body momentarily. Neil explains that focusing on others’ needs rather than oneself can lead to such out-of-body experiences, reinforcing the idea of stepping out of “me, me, me” circuits.
Art provides information on how listeners can obtain a copy of the program and mentions recent articles about the show in Newsweek and Penthouse, highlighting the growing interest in the topics discussed on “Coast to Coast AM.”
A fax from Steve in Portland reports that the weather in Daytona Beach, Florida, shows some condensing of water vapor, with a green dot appearing on Doppler radar maps between 12:30 AM and 1:30 AM. This raises the question of whether the collective visualization is having an effect, as the humidity has increased and slight changes in weather conditions are observed.
Neil Slade continues his conversation with Art Bell and listeners, addressing various questions about brain functions and experiences. A caller asks about the differences between left-handed and right-handed people. Neil explains that left-handed people tend to be more right-brain dominant, which is associated with visual, non-verbal, and spatial processing, while right-handed people are usually left-brain dominant, focusing more on verbal and linear tasks. He emphasizes the importance of balancing both hemispheres of the brain to become “brain ambidextrous.”
Another caller from Colorado shares his experience trying the rain visualization for Florida, feeling his eyes shuddering as if in REM sleep. He asks if being in a reptilian brain mode due to one’s job, such as an NFL player, affects the ability to access the frontal lobes. Neil explains that using more frontal lobe functions can enhance performance, even in competitive or physical tasks. He mentions that successful athletes, like quarterbacks, use their frontal lobes to anticipate and strategize, which gives them an edge over those relying solely on reptilian instincts.
Art and Neil discuss the implications for individuals with less cognitively demanding roles, such as linemen in football. Neil suggests that even these roles can benefit from engaging the frontal lobes to improve performance, despite the seemingly contradictory nature of their tasks.
Neil Slade continues to address questions about the brain and its functions. He confirms that activating the frontal lobes does not compromise one’s ability to function in reptilian brain modes, such as those required in high-stress or physical activities. Instead, engaging the frontal lobes enhances overall performance by providing better organization, cooperation, and strategic thinking.
A caller from Duluth, Minnesota, asks about the correlation between frontal lobe activation and the use of substances like mushrooms and LSD. Neil explains that psychedelics like psilocybin mushrooms and LSD work by blocking serotonin, a neurotransmitter that regulates the flow of information to the frontal lobes. By blocking serotonin, these substances allow more information to reach the frontal lobes, leading to heightened perceptions, vivid colors, and profound realizations. However, Neil cautions that these experiences can be overwhelming and may lead to negative experiences if the energy is redirected back to the reptilian brain.
Neil emphasizes the importance of learning how to control brain functions, such as clicking the amygdala forward, to ensure positive experiences when experimenting with altered states of consciousness.
Neil Slade continues discussing the brain’s capabilities and the effects of trauma on psychic abilities. A caller from Peoria, Illinois, shares her experiences with out-of-body perceptions following a severe car accident and skull trauma. Neil suggests that physical trauma can indeed alter brain pathways, possibly causing switches to remain open and enhancing psychic abilities temporarily.
Art Bell highlights how near-death experiences often result in heightened psychic abilities, supporting Neil’s explanation. They emphasize that these paranormal activities are linked to actual electrochemical pathways in the brain, indicating physical changes due to trauma.
A caller from southwest Florida expresses his belief in controlling the weather with the mind, feeling validated by Neil’s discussions. He mentions reading “Autobiography of a Yogi” by Paramahansa Yogananda, which discusses parts of the brain associated with consciousness. Neil confirms that the brainstem and the reticular activating formation, part of the reptile brain, are involved in consciousness, and that the goal is to move this awareness into the frontal lobes for higher cognitive functions.
Neil advises listeners to keep visualizing rain for Florida, using creative methods like drawing and placing reminders around the house to maintain focus. He encourages scientific verification of their efforts by attempting the experiment in different areas under varying conditions.
Neil Slade continues addressing listener questions about brain function and its impact on abilities. A caller from Florida, living amidst the fires, asks about the effectiveness of thinking hard to create rain. Neil reassures her that even if her neighbors are asleep, their dreams might also contribute to the collective effort for rain.
Amy from Cincinnati asks Neil for advice on managing stage fright as a musician and conductor. Neil suggests converting fear into positive energy by visualizing and channeling nervous energy forward toward the audience. He advises using imaginative parts of the frontal lobes to visualize the desired performance outcome, writing it down, and continuously reinforcing the positive scenario to reprogram the brain.
Amy also inquires about how a seizure medication affected her perfect pitch. Neil explains that the medication likely alters the chemical pathways in her brain, affecting her pitch perception. He suggests retraining her brain using programs advertised in musician magazines to regain perfect pitch through different pathways, leveraging the brain’s redundancy circuits.
Mary from Northern California shares her successful experience of visualizing and clicking her amygdala forward to get through on the show. Neil and Art discuss the effectiveness of cloud busting and how this seemingly simple activity can dramatically change one’s perception of the mind’s capabilities.
Ryan from Las Vegas asks if the mind can affect things beyond the weather, such as volcanic activity. Neil speculates that heavy phenomena like volcanoes and earthquakes might be influenced by the collective human consciousness. However, he advises that practical caution should prevail in immediate danger situations, such as evacuating from an erupting volcano. Neil and Art suggest that the limitations of such abilities are not fully understood and could be explored through large-scale experiments.
Melissa from Portland recounts a deeply spiritual experience she had while on LSD, feeling connected to the earth. She describes seeing the sun set in the same place where she had previously seen it rise, which puzzled her rational mind. Neil acknowledges that psychedelics can create profound perceptions and experiences, altering one’s sense of reality.
Melissa from Portland shares her puzzling experience of seeing the sun set in the east after taking LSD, an observation confirmed by her friend who had not taken the drug. Neil Slade acknowledges the profound and often inexplicable nature of such experiences, noting how changes in brain chemistry can lead to a variety of altered perceptions. He shares a personal anecdote about a mind-melding experience with a friend under similar circumstances, emphasizing that these chemically-induced experiences are valid and impactful.
As the program comes to a close, Art Bell thanks Neil for the fascinating discussion and promises to have him back on the show. He encourages listeners to continue the collective effort to create rain for Florida, following Neil’s instructions. Art signs off, reminding everyone to keep sending positive energy and white light for the experiment.
