    Jeremy David Engels: Living Namaste, An Ancient Practice for Modern Living
    Aug 19 2026
    A practical guide to embodying the principles of “namaste” in everyday life

    “An appealing manual that offers encouraging methods for pursuing a happier and more connected life.”—Kirkus Reviews

    • Defines the meaning of “namaste” and explains how to apply it in daily interactions to build stronger communities

    • Offers practical strategies to develop self-awareness and compassion, foster deeper connections with others, and support mutual growth

    • Includes exercises, mindfulness meditations, and svadhyaya (“self-study”) practices to deepen personal growth and understanding

    Namaste is a Sanskrit greeting that means “I bow to the divine in you.” It has become a common phrase to say at the end of yoga classes, but as Jeremy Engels shows, “namaste” is more than a polite expression; it is a powerful principle for building connection and community.

    Engels organizes the practice of living namaste around three reminders—“I am divine,” “you are divine,” and “live the word, together”—noting that the significance of mindfulness and yoga practice is about remembering to return to a state of awareness, presence, and connection.

    The practical approach Engels offers in Living Namaste encourages self-awareness and empathy, cultivating gratitude, and treating one another with compassion to foster deeper connections and support mutual growth. Each of the three reminders is accompanied by exercises, mindfulness meditations, and svadhyaya (“self-study”) practices designed to help you apply these teachings to your daily life. By responding thoughtfully and with care to each other, rather than reactively, readers can form stronger, more supportive relationships, support each other’s well-being, and contribute to healthier communities.

    Jeremy David Engels, PhD, is a cofounder and teacher at Yoga Lab, which offers science-based yoga and meditation classes that emphasize mindfulness and functional movement. He is a Liberal Arts Endowed Professor of Communication and Ethics at Penn State University and has written extensively on community-building, peace, and justice. He lives in State College, Pennsylvania.

    Jan Francke: Scanning the Ancient World, with Ground Penetrating Radar

    What lies beneath some of the world's most mysterious ancient sites?Dr. Jan Francke has spent more than three decades working with ground-penetrating radar (GPR) and developing technologies capable of imaging structures, geological formations, tunnels, voids, and other features hidden beneath the Earth's surface.In this episode of Earth Ancients, Jan joins Cliff Dunning to discuss the science behind GPR and its growing role in archaeology. The conversation explores radar investigations at ancient sites, including work around the Giza Plateau and Great Pyramid, as well as projects in Mexico, the Middle East, Australia, and other parts of the world.

    Jan also explains an important problem surrounding ground-penetrating radar: while GPR can produce remarkable results under the right conditions, the technology can easily be misunderstood, misused, or overinterpreted. What can radar actually see underground? How deep can it penetrate? What creates an anomaly? And when does an intriguing radar image become credible evidence for a buried structure?Jan Francke is the founder of Groundradar, which develops and deploys specialized GPR systems, including long-range UltraGPR technology. He is also associated with Geolitix, a cloud-based platform for processing and interpreting GPR and other geophysical data. His career has taken him to more than 100 countries, applying geophysical technology to archaeology, geology, mineral exploration, underground void detection, and other subsurface investigations.This conversation offers a rare look at the technology increasingly being used to investigate what may remain hidden beneath some of the world's most important ancient landscapes.Learn more about Jan Francke and Groundradar:

  • Hugh Evans: The Origins of the Zodiac

    Hugh Evans: The Origins of the Zodiac
    Aug 8 2026
    The Origin of the Zodiac has been rediscovered in Gwynedd, North Wales.
    Thousands of years older than the Babylonian and Egyptian zodiacs, perhaps even older than Gobekli Tepe, the features on the ground in North Wales actually determined the choice of stars for the constellations in the heavens above.
    In rediscovering the origin of the modern constellations, so too has been rediscovered the 'cipher' connecting the history of the world we know and understand, to the pre-history world of myth and mystery.
    If true, the Star Maps of Gwynedd may change everything we believe about our recent history.

    Hundreds of hours of painstaking research, hieroglyph interpretation and language translation identify all the features of the present zodiac and circumpolar constellations across the land features of Gwynedd. This information is presented in maps of the ground and star maps correlated with the same in the night sky above. The myth is explained and retranslated, as are the landmarks and the corresponding astrological icons associated with each of the signs of the zodiac.

    Prepare for a journey across the heavens and back in time, crossing into the world that existed before the Great Flood.

    Hugh Evans studied Astrophysics at university, graduated in aeronautical engineering, subsequently qualifying as a Chartered Accountant. He now applies his scientific interest, engineering rigor and professional scrutiny to a lifelong passion for history and the stars; offering a new perspective and rediscovering the story of the ancients. Hugh has invested thousands of hours of painstaking research, site visits, hieroglyph interpretation and language translation to identify all the features of the present zodiac and circumpolar constellations across the land features of Gwynedd, North Wales. Thousands of years older than the Babylonian and Egyptian zodiacs, perhaps even older than Göbekli Tepe, the features on the ground in North Wales actually determined the choice of stars for the constellations in the heavens above. He is the author of The Origins of the Zodiac, Cadair Idris and the Star Maps of Gwynedd.

  • Bibhu Dev Misra: The Aztec Calendar, Ekpyrosis and the Coming Cycle of Catastrophe

    Bibhu Dev Misra: The Aztec Calendar, Ekpyrosis and the Coming Cycle of Catastrophe
    Aug 1 2026
    My name is Bibhu Dev Misra and I live in Kolkata, India, with my family.

    Like most urban-educated boys, I followed the traditional route to success in my early life. As someone who was comfortable with science, I did my engineering from IIT Kharagpur and subsequently completed my MBA from IIM Kolkata. I worked as an Information Technology consultant for more than 20 years, and spent a number of years working in the US for various multinational organizations, including the World Bank and the United Nations.

    It was early on in my work life that I was exposed to the writings of researchers such as Graham Hancock, Michael Cremo, Adrian Snodgrass, Joseph Campbell, Walter Cruttenden, Subhash Kak and others, who were looking at our past with a new spirit of inquiry, and identified a number of glaring inconsistencies in the version of history that has been handed down to us.

    Their writings inspired me to begin a journey of seeking answers to a large body of mysterious knowledge left behind by our ancestors in the form of sacred texts, inexplicable artifacts, awe-inspiring architecture, cryptic symbols, and fantastic myths and legends. To this end, I also began traveling to many ancient sites around the world in order to gain a first hand experience of these remarkable places.

    In addition to travel and writing, my other interests are music, sports, and photography. When I am not researching, writing, or traveling to ancient sites, I like to strike up a tune on my guitar or keyboard, read books or watch films on ancient mysteries and esoteric subjects, go for long walks, and practice yoga and meditation.

  • Destiny: Beyond Disclosure: Voices of Contact

    Destiny: Beyond Disclosure: Voices of Contact
    Jul 29 2026
    Beyond Disclosure: Voices of Contact

    With Steven Spielberg's Disclosure Day reigniting public interest in UFOs, UAPs, and the possibility of non-human intelligence, Destiny takes a different path. Rather than focusing on headlines, government hearings, or speculation, this special presentation revisits some of the most compelling voices ever featured on the program. Through conversations with renowned authors, experiencers, researchers, and investigators—including Whitley Strieber, Chris Bledsoe, and others—we explore the deeply personal stories, groundbreaking research, and thought-provoking ideas that continue to shape the global conversation surrounding contact.

    Beyond Disclosure: Voices of Contact is more than a retrospective—it's an exploration of one of humanity's greatest mysteries through the words of those who have lived it, studied it, and challenged conventional thinking. From extraordinary encounters and unexplained phenomena to the relationship between consciousness and contact, this special edition of Destiny invites listeners to look beyond disclosure itself and consider the profound questions that remain unanswered.
