May 20, 1999: Intuitive - Kevin Ryerson

Art Bell is joined by Kevin Ryerson, an acclaimed intuitive and trance channel in the tradition of Edgar Cayce and Jane Roberts, whose abilities were featured in Shirley MacLaine's bestselling books. They examine the crisis of collective consciousness as school shootings, ecological disasters, and political dishonesty signal what Kevin describes as humanity entering an "event horizon" of profound change.

Kevin discusses the breakdown of emotional intelligence in modern society, tracing the problem to Descartes' philosophy of pure rationalism that stripped away the capacity for empathy. He connects this to Jung's monitoring of collective dreams before World War II and argues that humanity faces a choice between ecological collapse and a new era of collective awareness. The conversation touches on the hundredth monkey effect, the harmonic convergence's role in the fall of the Berlin Wall, and whether focused group consciousness can alter weather patterns and global events.

Art shares his own caution about conducting mass consciousness experiments on the air, expressing genuine fear about unintended consequences. Kevin offers perspective on crop circles, the nature of good and evil, reincarnation, and the psychic bonds that connect all living beings to the planet itself.
