Introducing DMT entities: Are we alone in consciousness?

Exploring the beings behind the veil of consciousness, with David Jay Brown and Sarah Huntley.

What if the veil between worlds isn’t just metaphorical—but permeable?

In this mind-bending episode of Connecting with Coincidence, Dr. Bernard Beitman is joined by visionary thinkers David Jay Brown and Sarah Huntley to explore one of the most mysterious frontiers of consciousness: encounters with entities during altered states—especially DMT visions, lucid dreams, and near-death experiences.

These aren’t your typical hallucinations. People across cultures and time describe similar beings—jesters, teachers, aliens, light beings—that seem to have minds of their own. Are these fragments of the unconscious, archetypes, autonomous beings, or emissaries from dimensions beyond time and space?

Together, David, Sara, and Dr. Beitman explore questions at the heart of both science and spirit:

  • Who—or what, are these beings we meet at the edge of perception?

  • Are coincidences and synchronicities evidence of interaction with these intelligences?

  • And can understanding them help us better understand ourselves?

Meet David & Sara now on the Connecting with Coincidence podcast:

By Bernard Beitman MD

Bernie graduated from Mount Pleasant High School in Wilmington, Delaware in 1960 at #5 Grade Point Average. He majored in Chemistry at Swarthmore College and was one of two outstanding pre-medical students. He attended Yale Medical School graduating in 1964. He did his one-year general medicine internship at Mount Zion Medical Center in San Francisco and then completed the three-year psychiatric residency at Stanford in 1974 after working in the U.S Public Health Service Hospital in San Francisco from 1971-1973 as the hospital’s psychiatrist. He then joined the faculty of the department of psychiatry at the University of Washington in Seattle. After ten years there he was denied tenure and then joined the faculty at the University of Missouri-Columbia, where he became a world leader in the study of chest pain and panic disorder which led to his becoming chair of the psychiatry department. (A door closes, and a big window opens.) Building on his book The Structure of Individual Psychotherapy, he created the book Learning Psychotherapy which was taught to half the psychiatric residency training programs in the United States. In 2006 he started formal research into coincidences and then, in 2009, moved to Charlottesville, Virginia, to join the Division of Perceptual Studies of the University of Virginia, which supported his coincidence work as a non-paid faculty member. As a “recovering academic,” he led the development of The Coincidence Project.
