Open Loops with Greg Bornstein: Conversations That Bend

In this must-listen paranormal podcast episode of Open Loops, Greg interviews John Fraser—Council Member of the Society for Psychical Research and author of Paranormal Perspectives: One Big Box of Paranormal Tricks. Together they explore the groundbreaking idea that all paranormal events—from ghosts to poltergeists to UFOs—might stem from a single psychic force within us.  

That’s right. No polyamorous forces, Aubrey Marcus. Cool yo...

“A lighthouse doesn’t jump in the sea to save ships. It stays lit. Those ready will find it.”

—Michael Feeley, this episode

As if quoting your guest in the show notes before saying anything else about him isn’t weird enough… brace yourself.

Michael Feeley—master of mystic knowledge, symbolic decoder, esoteric researcher, and paranormal/UFO experiencer—joins Greg to discuss his latest book, The Movement: Illumination of the World.

A boo...

INT. SUBCONSCIOUS MIND – NIGHT.

A man stares into a spiral.

A voice enters the room.

The loop begins.

What starts as a podcast quickly becomes a paradox:

Are you listening… or are you being rewritten?

In this psychological-thriller-meets-transformational-masterclass, Greg invites Adam Cox—Harley Street hypnotherapist and host of The Hypnotist podcast—into the Open Loops mind-lab to detonate the outdated constructs of traditional therapy.

Oops, I did it again - click - oops, I did it again - click - oops, did it again....

He built a time machine in his car. It caught fire. The government showed up. Then Britney Spears bought one.

Yes, really.

Welcome to the mind of Francoie Gagnon, Quebec’s very own chrononaut, consciousness tech inventor, and DIY engineer of mind-matter machines. In this episode of Open Loops, Francoie joins Greg to talk about the real story behind ti...

Have you seen the film The Substance yet?

You know, the one with Demi Moore. Where she’s a fading Hollywood star who injects herself with a green fluid that promises it can magically make her transform into the best version of herself? Young, pretty, perky, skin without wrinkles. The promise of youth again.

It’s good. But gross. But, like, Demi Moore is great in it. But ew.

Just curious if you saw it. Not relevant at all, genuinely cu...

He’s a shamanic sound healer, master of altered consciousness, NLP instructor, and author of What Is Your B.S.?: Exploring Belief Systems Through Hypnosis and NLP. He’s so far down the rabbit hole, he’s got permanent residency in Wonderland—and he’s inviting you to follow.

Dubbed “The Hypnotist’s Hypnotist,” Peter joins Greg this week to speak synesthetically to your co...

Sometimes Greg wonders if he's sick in the mind—and considering this is an episode about O.J. Simpson (the benchmark of mental stability), that's saying something.

Why the fear? The trepidation?

Because this week, Open Loops dares to go where it dare not tread without full commitment.

(Greg also has issues with commitment.)

Yes, we're talking about the realm of TRUE(r) Crime.

Oh, please… not another true crime podcast! For the love of M...

Welcome to 2025.

Remember all the buzz last month about ET disclosure? Those strange ...things....hovering in the skies of New Jersey—lights blinking, colors shifting, orbs appearing and vanishing in plain sight. Large machines, unlike anything we’ve seen before, flying over military bases.

But here’s the kicker: the news, social media, and those in charge? They’re silent. They claim they don’t know what they are.

And just like that, ...

A guest too controversial for "Coast to Coast AM"?!? 

Eric J. Hecker, a contractor who spent time at South Pole Station and found stuff he wasn't supposed to (a directed energy weapon that might be mind-controlling the masses, but hey, forget that, shop Black Friday and you'll finally find happiness). 

Yes, Eric returns for his 3rd Open Loops appearance where he wants to shed light on the thing bothering him the most: deceit in the d...

He met an alien at Area 61. He traveled beneath Antarctica’s ice and uncovered the Nazi UFO base. The X-Files? Yeah, that was based on his work.

In this Special Halloween Episode of Open Loops, you'll find answers to such bone-chilling questions as:

"Is our understanding of life and consciousness as fragile as our perception of reality?"
"What makes children our most valuable resource?"
"Is physics the new 'religion' guiding our belief...

Greg's talked to witches.

Greg's talked to psychics.

Greg's conversed with ETs.

He's sipped tea over secret government black ops programs.

He's been charmed by a vocal cartoonist and sensual temple mistress (not in the same episode, but that's not a bad idea).

But this is the first time, after 4 years of Open Loops.....that Greg finally gets to speak to....

A SWAMI!

Yes, Hindu ascetics on the spiritual path rarely do such strange podcasts...

Today's guest is Max Rempel, Molecular Biologist and PHD.  

Open Loops has a PhD on the show?!?! It wouldn't be the first time a true academic and practitioner came on the show....it's more that after 280 episodes of shamelessly fringe madness, Greg's just shocked he can get one back!  

Max must've never listened to it.

That said, don't let the title fool you. Dr. Rempel sees through the matrix, he's explored the depths of consciousne...

Author of "Quantum Capitalist," Renee Garcia, joins Greg to talk about a phenomenon sweeping the spiritual world of people who accidentally stumble on Instagram handles of cool-looking Russian physics PhDs who know how to live a fun life—no, wearing a tie with the galaxy on it isn't the only way a physicist scholar gets invited to parties.

What the eff are we talking about? Reality Transurfing, of course! 

Picture this: you're scroll...

 Sure, this podcast goes into ghouls, and ETs, and conspiracies, and all kinds of kookiness. But Greg's original love, the reason he knew he had to start Open Loops: Hypnosis. Greg talks a lot about hypnosis. 

Even the title, "Open Loops" is built on Greg's fervent desire to seek out alternative trance states that help expand consciousness.

And when it's put it like that, it actually sounds serious. Or like you just landed in Denver.

Married with children, Dana skillfully maintains everyday family life while managing her career. She has run a food truck, appeared on reality shows, and authored a bo...

*Or maybe Greg was afraid to ask....or was he just intrigued? Certainly curious.

The dark feminine energy is rampant in this episode and it'll draw you in, make you feel electric from head to toe, and you'll wake up from this sacred erotic trance podcast conversation with a much deeper appreciation for the divinity in hedonism (and in yourself).

Ki'Shara Ninki. She's that special kind of researcher/writer/explorer/archeologist/occult theologian that ruins your family meal by passing around laminated charts of your bloodline and tracing your ancestry back to metaphysically enabled lizards from Mars.

She's invited to Greg's seders any time she wants.

On this non-stop mind- blowing marathon of a conversation, Ki'Shara shares things you've never heard before on other paranormal/...

How does bashing the ineffectiveness of today's obsession with mental health turn into a deconstruction of "conspiracy theory consciousness?"  

It's James Tripp's 4th appearance on Open Loops, that's how! Known for his work in advancing hypnosis without trance, his mastery of neurolinguistics, and his natural ability to foster personal change, James has perspectives unlike any you've ever heard. Some'll shock you, some'll go against...
