Description: Art Bell begins with live reports from listeners across Florida as Hurricane Frances batters the coast, stalling at the shoreline and dumping relentless rain. Callers from Fort Lauderdale to Punta Gorda describe sustained winds, power outages, and the eerie calm of the hurricane's 70-mile-wide eye. A truck driver stranded on I-95 near Fort Pierce shares his plan to ride out the storm parked butt-first into the wind.Stephan Schwartz, a leading authority on remote viewing and extraordinary human functioning, joins to discuss a fundamental shift in how science views consciousness. He explains non-locality, the principle that particles once in contact remain connected regardless of distance, and its implications for remote viewing. Art and Schwartz explore the Grinberg-Zylberbaum experiment, submarine-based remote viewing tests, and Helmut Schmidt's retro-psychokinesis studies involving radioactive decay.The conversation turns to the nature of intent and its role in mass consciousness. Schwartz argues that America, as an idea-based nation, faces a new kind of enemy in terrorism, one powered by extreme collective will. He advocates confronting fear not with force alone but by demonstrating the integrity of democratic values and life-affirming social change.
