Arguably, psychic phenomena point toward human evolution—a reasonable hypothesis. In his talk, Michael Grosso will sketch a portrait of what that evolutionary process might look like, reviewing the various components of our psychic life, extrasensory and psychokinetic. We will try to imagine the ways in which the fuller development of these psi functions will change the way we live

During this exercise, we will note two things: first, uncanny connections with UAPs, and second, we will call attention to the context of our need to ponder our extraordinary species potential. That context is a twofold growing threat to global life: climate chaos and nuclear war.

The hopeful note here is that as the famous near-death experience (NDE) opens people to the wonders of self-transformation, so our growing planetary near-death crisis may release a new wave of creative inspiration, furnishing the key to survival.
