  Russell Targ has been successfully teaching people how to get in touch with their psychic abilities for more than fifty years. This began in 1972 when he cofounded the CIA sponsored ESP research program at Stanford Research Institute. 
   
   
    
  Third Eye Spies will introduce listeners to the most successful and gifted remote viewers in the world, some of whom had never done anything like this before, along with the evidence of their psychic abilities. Remote viewing is the opportunity to describe and experience objects and events in the distance, past, and future. 
   
   
    
  Targ shares the simple techniques the masters of remote viewing used to be able to expand your mind's eye beyond your physical location. Misconceptions have abounded that ESP is weak and unreliable. On the contrary, in the SRI laboratory experiments and classified operational tasks, ESP was found to be surprisingly reliable, accurate, and useful. In data from laboratories all over the world, we have seen that the accuracy and reliability of remote viewing is not in any way degraded by distance. 
   
   
    
  With Third Eye Spies, you will be able to step beyond the boundaries of your physical body and learn to live with psychic abilities.

  "A nuanced look at America's legacy of scriptural language." —Publishers Weekly (starred review) 
   
   
   
  How do Bible passages written thousands of years ago apply to politics today? What can we learn from America's history of using the Bible in politics? How can we converse with people whose views differ from our own? 
   
   
   
  In The Ballot and the Bible, Kaitlyn Schiess explores these questions and more. She unpacks examples of how Americans have connected the Bible to politics in the past, highlighting times it was applied well and times it was egregiously misused. 
   
   
   
  Schiess combines American political history and biblical interpretation to help listeners faithfully read Scripture, talk with others about it, and apply it to contemporary political issues—and to their lives. Rather than prescribing what listeners should think about specific hot-button issues, Schiess outlines core biblical themes around power, allegiance, national identity, and more. 
   
   
   
  Listeners will be encouraged to pursue a biblical basis for their political engagement with compassion and confidence.

  The Roman Empire Uncovered -...

  The Roman Empire, one of history's most influential superpowers, traces its origins to a blend of myth, legend, and historical reality. Understanding the foundations of Rome requires examining the myths surrounding its birth, its early expansion as a republic, and the eventual transformation into a dominant empire. These formative stages laid the groundwork for centuries of imperial dominance, establishing Rome as a cultural and political epicenter. 
  The story of Rome's foundation begins with the legendary tale of Romulus and Remus. According to Roman mythology, the twin brothers were abandoned by the river Tiber, only to be rescued and nurtured by a she-wolf. Eventually, Romulus would go on to establish the city on Palatine Hill in 753 BCE, becoming its first king after a violent dispute with Remus. Though historians debate the factual accuracy of this tale, it symbolizes Rome’s resilience and its origins rooted in struggle and survival. This myth, coupled with archaeological evidence from early settlements on the hills of Rome, provides insight into how Romans viewed their beginnings as both divine and destined for greatness. 
  Following its legendary foundation, Rome gradually transformed from a small settlement into a robust city-state. Initially, it was ruled by a series of kings who laid the foundations of Roman society, including political and religious institutions. However, the overthrow of the monarchy in 509 BCE marked the beginning of the Roman Republic, a period characterized by shared power between elected officials and a complex system of checks and balances. The Republic's political structure, with the Senate as a central governing body, reflected a commitment to preventing any single ruler from holding excessive power. This early model of governance would profoundly influence later empires and modern political systems.

  DEI Exposed puts the spotlight on a Big Con: Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. 
  DEI gurus siphoned funds for education into social engineering programs. They suckered and swindled some of the smartest people in the U.S., cost universities dearly in terms of funds and reputation, and ruined the livelihoods of countless faculty members. 
  DEI has fueled antisemitism on college campuses and, ironically, robbed many students of fair treatment and freedom of speech-two things DEI advocates supposedly champion. 
  How did the hustlers pull it off? 
  This book documents the dubious credentials of DEI superstars, the use of cult conversion tactics on students, the cultivation of campus informants to instill fear and suspicion, and the lawsuits that reveal DEI's virulent racialism at a high cost to universities in bad publicity and legal damages. 
  DEI Exposed maps this corruption so that we can chart a course for a restoration of higher education for years to come. 
  Ridgley reveals the striking contradictions between DEI's stated aims and its practical effects. 
  - Ram Mudambi, Frank M. Speakman Professor of Strategy, Fox School of Business, Temple University 
  The DEI monster has continually sprouted new tentacles, and Ridgley has given us an account of how it came to be its lurid self. 
  - Bruce Gilley, author of The Case for Colonialism 
  With razor-sharp analysis, Ridgley dissects how higher education compromised itself, abandoning merit and intellectual vigor in favor of pseudoscience and ideological conformity. 
  - Nicholas Giordano, Professor of Political Science and host of The P.A.S. Report Podcast 
  Dr. Stanley K. Ridgley is Clinical Full Professor of Strategic Management at Drexel University. He holds a Doctorate and Master's in International Relations and Security from Duke University and an International MBA from Temple University. He is a Russian language linguist and former Military Intelligence Officer.

  Body Language - Decoding...

  Body language is an essential aspect of communication that often speaks louder than words. It encompasses a range of non-verbal signals that convey emotions, attitudes, and intentions, all without uttering a single word. From facial expressions and gestures to posture and eye contact, body language is a powerful tool in human interaction, influencing how we connect with others and how we are perceived in return. While verbal communication is often emphasized, non-verbal cues are just as important—sometimes even more so—when it comes to understanding the full message being communicated. 
    
  In fact, research suggests that a large percentage of our communication is conveyed through body language, with estimates ranging from 60% to 93%, depending on the context. The way we move, stand, and make eye contact can reveal a wealth of information about our true feelings, intentions, and state of mind. Whether we're aware of it or not, our body language is constantly transmitting messages to others, which is why it's crucial to understand the subtle cues we are sending out.
