In the first half, authority on the Akashic records, Aingeal Rose O'Grady, discussed her remarkable ability to access these records which are reported to contain all knowledge of human experience and the history of the cosmos. "I find it interesting that there is this intelligence that does record every minute," every little detail of life, she said. Further, each person has their own 'library book,' as it's called, as well as a 'database' which is the record of all the lifetimes a person has led, and their track record for successes and failures during them, she explained. She views the records as spiritual in nature, though some have said there are "holographic crystal discs" that hold this information.

When a person dies, they have a life review in which they see and experience their affect on others, which helps their spirit achieve mastery, she said. According to the information she received from "source" (i.e. the Akashic records), Earth was originally a paradise planet, but experienced a fall and moved into denser and denser vibrations. Many of the early spirit beings came here on a mission to get the planet back on track, and a lot of them are reincarnated now in this lifetime, she reported. Our old world is dying as a new energy is in the process of manifesting on Earth, but we have to go through a kind of birth canal to get there, which causes a lot of unresolved issues to surface, she pointed out.

In the latter half, author Whitley Strieber talked about a high level of recent UFO activity, as well as the potential danger from solar flares. In his new ebook, Solar Flares, he explores what could happen to our society if we were suddenly knocked off the grid by a powerful solar storm. Incidents back in 1923 and 1859 would have knocked out our power grids, he noted. Yet it's not so much that our sun has changed in recent years, it's that we have, as a society, become so highly dependent on electricity and our devices, that a major grid collapse could have catastrophic consequences, he commented. While Europe and Canada have made some efforts to protect their grids, the United States has yet to pass legislation to mandate this.

Strieber discussed a curious geologic feature in North America dating back 15,000 years called the Black Mat, a layer of material composed of ash and plankton skeletons. "Something happened that set this continent on fire...melted the glaciers...and was followed by a flood that stretched all the way from Colorado to the Atlantic Ocean," he said, pondering whether this kind of extinction event was related to solar flares or plasma hitting the planet. He also spoke about, how since the middle of 2011, there have been waves of not only UFO sightings, but high strangeness events like unexplained sounds and booms heard in multiple locations. He shared details of an anomalous aerial object photographed in Washington DC, as well as UFO incidents in South Texas.
