His current work focuses on how non-human intelligences communicate with humans.In this mind-expanding episode, Dr. Bernard Beitman sits down with Brandon Wheeler, historian of religion and scholar of ancient texts, to explore how non-human intelligence might have been communicating with us all along—under different names. Whether it’s Moses at the burning bush or modern experiencers describing UFO contact, Brandon reveals how the language, hierarchy, and symbolism of these moments have deep parallels.Together, they examine how communication works between vastly different minds: divine beings, alien entities, trees in a forest, or simply two humans trying to understand one another. From the Tower of Babel to AI-facilitated insight, this conversation challenges the boundaries between myth, message, and meaning.If you've ever asked, "Who or what is trying to reach me?"—this episode offers a thoughtful, grounded, and surprising look at what might be answering.About Dr. Bernard Beitman:Dr. Beitman is the first psychiatrist since Carl Jung to seriously study coincidences.
