#72 Sitara Taddeo: Apollo Astronaut Opens Lab to Study "Real Magic"
ACID FOR SQUARESAbout this episode
On this episode of the Acid For Squares podcast, hosts Cody Blue and Tanya Dahl speak with scientist Sitara Taddeo, a researcher at the Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS), an organization founded by Apollo 14 astronaut Edgar Mitchell after he experienced a samadhi state while in space, a moment of profound unity and oneness that led him to dedicate his life to exploring the science of consciousness. Sitara walks us through IONS’ groundbreaking research into psionics, extrasensory perception, telepathy, lucid dreams, out-of-body experiences, and the science of what some call “real magic.” She explains how their findings are beginning to confirm what mystics and psychonauts have long claimed: that we are all deeply connected, and that consciousness extends far beyond the brain. This episode is a mind-bending journey into the outer edges of science and inner space, where reality gets questioned, and the supernatural begins to look like data.
