The late Pierre Grimes, PhD, was a specialist in classical Greek philosophy. He was the founder of the American Philosophical Practitioners Association. He was also founder of the Noetic Society in the Los Angeles area. He is author of Philosophical Midwifery: A New Paradigm for Understanding Human Problems, Socrates and Jesus: A Dialogue in Heaven, and Unblocking: Removing Blocks to Understanding. He was also a decorated veteran of the second world war.
In this interview, rebooted from 2018, he points out that the authors of the Christian Gospels wrote in Greek and were influenced by the Hellenic intellectual culture. He suggests that a strict translation from the original Greek texts would reveal that they shared the pure mysticism of Plato and his emphasis on knowledge of the Self. He points out that one cannot find this in the writings of Paul and, in fact, Pauline theology is distinctly anti-Hellenic. He also discusses his thinking on the similarities between Socrates and Jesus.
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.
