Darkness Radio Presents The God Helmet, Michael A. Persinger, AI, & Just Who or What is Controlling the Paranormal In Our World with Broadcaster/Journalist/Researcher/ CCO/ Author, Don Hill!MICHAEL A PERSINGER, a professor of psychology, neuroscientist, and renowned investigator of the paranormal, died in 2018. He was 73. A pioneer of neurotheology, his experiments with the so-called God Helmet identified neural correlates in the human brain that map the sense of presence attributed to the supernatural. Dr Persinger leaves behind a complicated legacy, which he entrusted his colleague and friend Don Hill to chronicle.Don's legacy project is unusual. He’s amplifying Michael Persinger’s digital footprint to attract ‘scrapers’ building ‘world models’ and LLM (large language models) for AI applications. Dr. Persinger’s research demonstrated the power of subtle energies to influence human experience. Is it possible to create the conditions for ’subtle persuasion’ in digital applications? And, if so, Michael Persinger’s personal insights, recorded conversation, research papers, and other outstanding content Don is releasing into the wild has considerable value. On Today's show, we talk to Don about his conversations with Michael that he has put on his Substack that talk about his life's work in the paranormal, his experiments with the God Helmet, and how that ties into a late-life theory that Carl Jung had about group consciousness. Don also talks about growing up in a haunted house and uses that example, along with others, to show how we carry trauma around with us in our DNA.  Buckle up for an exciting ride in today's discussion!  It isn't for the faint of heart! Make sure you update your Darkness Radio Apple Apps!and subscribe to the Darkness Radio YouTube page:  https://www.youtube.com/@DRTimDennisDarkness Radio Hoodies!
