Podcast:The Art Bell Archive Published On: Thu Nov 27 2025 Description: Art Bell welcomes Dr. Claude Swanson, a Princeton-educated physicist who has spent over 20 years researching the science behind paranormal phenomena. Broadcasting from what he describes as a ghost museum, Swanson recounts his personal experiments with remote viewing and firewalking, explaining how consciousness can alter known physical laws. He describes a model of parallel universes at slightly different frequencies, where subtle energy and focused intention can bridge the gap between dimensions.The conversation covers plant telepathy, the Baxter effect, orb photography, and how random event generators respond to collective human attention. Swanson shares his theory that DNA operates like a crystal oscillator, enabling instantaneous communication between genetically identical cells regardless of distance. He also connects these ideas to Hopi prophecy, warning that Western civilization faces a critical window to integrate spiritual wisdom before potential catastrophe.Art and Swanson discuss the resistance of mainstream science to these findings, the importance of Bill Tiller's laboratory work on consciousness, and the urgent need for a paradigm shift. Swanson argues that understanding subtle energy could reshape physics and offer humanity tools to address global crises including climate change.
