Here he describes his early years in Berkeley in which he developed many friends who practiced witchcraft and other occult and esoteric arts. In 1970, Professor Frank X. Barron, shared a story with him about a witch — and encouraged him to study parapsychology. He discusses the tension between witchcraft and the Judeo-Christian culture with [...]

Here he refers back to a decision he made in the early 1970s to transition from the study of criminology to the field of parapsychology. He addresses a comment from one viewer who maintained that personal salvation depends upon allowing ourselves to be influenced by the best among us — rather than opening ourselves up [...]

Here he reviews the conflicts between parapsychology researchers and psychic/esoteric/occult practitioners. Then he explores the history of research and thinking in the area of telepathic hypnotic induction. He points out that the “telepathic transmissions” to which he has referred in previous InPresence segments do not involve hypnotic suggestions. Rather they are energetic and, perhaps, emotional [...]

Here he acknowledges an earlier mistake resulting in the careless deletion of an InPresence recording. He suggests that the telepathic transmission from that deleted recording is still in effect, so in this video, it is extra robust. He then addresses the question of maintaining our focus on becoming the best version of ourselves — in [...]

Here he corrects an error he made in InPresence 0103 in which he reversed the meanings of hypnopompic and hypnogogic. He explains that the error occurred because of his understanding of the word “psychopomp” as the person who guides one into a deeper knowledge of the soul. Subsequently, he has come to see that the [...]

Here he describes an email received from physicist Jack Sarfatti, highlighting the claim by physicist Hal Puthoff that a U.S. Navy video of a UFO was not of human origins. Sarfatti, himself, has claimed to have been contacted by a conscious computer aboard a space ship. Currently, Sarfatti is developing an interesting theory that offers [...]

Here he uses the stress management concept of “triggers” to illustrate how we can remind ourselves to engage in subtle shifts of consciousness toward a greater (or higher) awareness. He presents many illustrations of works of art from his own home that serve this trigger function for him. He points out that we should each [...]

Here he expands on the concept of “entelechy” and raises the question of what would be a profound impact on your life. He also discusses Jean Houston’s concept of “leaky margins” — pointing out that, at one time, electricity was a very marginal subject that had little impact on human society. Subsequently it has become [...]

Here he describes a dream experience that resulted in both a poem and a synchronicity. The synchronicity led to him attending a series of seminars sponsored by an organization called Falling Awake. Their approach was contrary to many spiritual teachings insofar as they promote the notion that desires are desirable. Jeff introduces the term “entelechy” [...]

Here he shares a dream of leaping into a cloudy void. His reflections on the dream involve reincarnation, biblical injunctions, Buddhist detachment, and observations about the role of the observer in quantum physics. He also raises the question of whether or not the universe is to be feared.

Here he exhorts viewers to take good care of their physical bodies. Referring to events in his own life, he acknowledges that this can be challenging at times. In fact, this InPresence video series was created at a time when he was not exercising — and thus had more time to work on it. He [...]

Here he reflects on the process of transitioning from normal waking consciousness to a dream state. He notes that the state just prior to sleeping and dreaming is known as the “hypnogogic” state. He describes several stages of this process in his own experience, suggesting that viewers pay attention to the shifts in consciousness that [...]
