InPresence 0064: Solitude
05/01/20 • 6 min
InPresence host, Jeffrey Mishlove, PhD, is author of The Roots of Consciousness, Psi Development Systems, and The PK Man. Between 1986 and 2002 he hosted and co-produced the original Thinking Allowed public television series. He is the recipient of the only doctoral diploma in “parapsychology” ever awarded by an accredited university (University of California, Berkeley, 1980). For many years he served as president of the non-profit Intuition Network, an organization dedicated to creating a world in which all people were supported and encouraged in developing inner intuitive abilities.
Here he relates how, when he was in his early 20s, he became fascinated with the idea of spending a lengthy amount of time in solitary isolation. The inspiration for this was a magical grimoire call The Book of the Sacred Magic of Abramelin the Mage. He made a study of accounts of people living alone. Eventually, he spent one week alone on Mount Shasta in northern California. This experience was important for character development.

InPresence 0063: The Attainment of Siddhis
InPresence host, Jeffrey Mishlove, PhD, is author of The Roots of Consciousness, Psi Development Systems, and The PK Man. Between 1986 and 2002 he hosted and co-produced the original Thinking Allowed public television series. He is the recipient of the only doctoral diploma in “parapsychology” ever awarded by an accredited university (University of California, Berkeley, 1980). For many years he served as president of the non-profit Intuition Network, an organization dedicated to creating a world in which all people were supported and encouraged in developing inner intuitive abilities.
Here he reflects on the cultivation of psychic gifts and spiritual attainments. He points to the example of Nikola Tesla who managed to transmute the annoying siddhi of super-hearing into an amazing gift of creative invention. He notes that siddhis do not always work out for the best. And, he uses an example from his own life to suggest that one can enjoy siddhis without expecting or craving them. He also maintains that character development promotes the attainment of siddhis.

He explains that he and his wife, Janelle, decided to also endeavor to have dreams in response to each other’s questions. This eventually led to some insights concerning dreams and the afterlife. He encourages viewers to consider forming a dream community.
