Stewart Alexander is a physical medium who has been an active spiritualist for over a half century. He is the author of An Extraordinary Journey: The Memoir of a Physical Medium. His work has also been described in Leslie Kean's award-winning book, Surviving Death. His website is stewartalexandermedium.com/.
In this reboot from 2020, Stewart describes the lengthy process of developing physical mediumship within the context of spiritualist home circles. It was well over a decade of regular sessions before the first manifestation of a physical phenomenon. Along the way, Alexander benefitted from the encouragement of mentors. Eventually, a "spirit team" was formed with each personality performing specific functions during séances.
New Thinking Allowed host, Jeffrey Mishlove, PhD, is author of The Roots of Consciousness, Psi Development Systems, and The PK Man. Between 1986 and 2002 he hosted and co-produced the original Thinking Allowed public television series. He is the recipient of the only doctoral diploma in "Parapsychology" ever awarded by an accredited university (University of California, Berkeley, 1980). He is also the Grand Prize winner of the 2021 Bigelow Institute essay competition regarding the best evidence for survival of human consciousness after permanent bodily death. He is Co-Director of Parapsychology Education at the California Institute for Human Science.
