Why Quantum Physicists Know Reality Is a Simulation But Won't Say It, and What It Reveals About Consciousness (Thomas Campbell)

Thu, 11 Jun 2026 07:00:00 -0400

Thomas Campbell is a physicist who spent his career in nuclear physics, missile defense, and complex system risk analysis, including work with NASA, while quietly pioneering decades of drug free consciousness research. Alongside Robert Monroe at what became the Monroe Institute, he learned to explore reality from the inside and went on to write the My Big TOE trilogy, his unified theory of everything built on one premise, that consciousness, not matter, is fundamental.

In this episode, we explore why so many quantum physicists quietly accept that reality is a simulation but will not say it out loud, and what that reveals about consciousness itself. Thomas shares how his early experiments convinced him consciousness is primary, why the data of physics points to an information based reality, and what it means to treat the universe as a computed virtual reality. This conversation reframes the claim that reality is a simulation not as science fiction but as the most rational reading of the evidence, and it shows why that view of consciousness changes how we live.

Who This Episode Is For:

Founders and CEOs drawn to consciousness, human potential, and inner work
Scientifically minded skeptics curious about metaphysics and quantum consciousness
Anyone who senses reality is a simulation and wants a grounded model of consciousness

What You'll Learn:

How meditation and altered states of consciousness became a research tool for a working physicist
Why consciousness science models reality as an evolving information system
How free will, entropy, and your daily choices shape the life you experience
Why the purpose and meaning of existence may be to lower entropy through love over fear

Dr. Douglas Tataryn is a clinical psychologist and creator of the Bio-Emotive Framework with over 30 years of clinical experience. His framework bridges practical therapeutic work with rigorous psychological science. Doug developed the Muscular Interference Theory of repression and the Nadura process for emotional healing. Through decades of clinical practice, he discovered that our culture suffers from "alexithymia" (having no words for emotions) and identified nine core feelings that unlock emotional healing.

In this episode with Dr. Douglas Tataryn, we explore why finding the exact word for what you're feeling might be the most powerful tool for emotional healing you've never been taught. He shares how watching his wife teach sacred movement classes revealed his own emotional limitations, sparking a decades long journey into the science of why some people get traumatized by events while others don't. We dive into how unprocessed emotions become woven into our sense of self, why most spiritual traditions skip the crucial "cleaning up" phase, and how muscle tension physically stores repressed feelings.

Brian reveals insights from reverse-engineering those rare individuals who've reached the "agentic sage" quadrant where high achievement meets high awareness.

Founders feeling torn between authentic spiritual transformation and the demands of building wealth
CEO spirituality seekers who want both material abundance and consciousness expansion without sacrificing either

The three essential keys Brian discovered after 25 years of research that allow personal evolution without years of suffering and spiritual bypass
Why spiritual transformation requires being pulled through challenges by goals bigger than yourself rather than pushing against obstacles through willpower

How Meditation Can Compress 55 Years of Spiritual Growth Into a Single Day (George Boyd, Mudrashram)

Thu, 03 Jul 2025 11:00:00 -0400

George Boyd is a master meditation teacher and the founder of the Mudrashram Institute of Spiritual Studies. He has studied and practiced meditation since 1965, giving him six decades of direct experience with consciousness expansion and spiritual evolution. In 1983, he was empowered by masters of an emerging lineage to bring forth one of the most comprehensive integral meditation systems ever developed. He has authored nineteen books, presented over 300 webinars, and mapped what he calls the entire Great Continuum of Consciousness, identifying 73 distinct spiritual paths active in human awareness.

In this episode, we explore how meditation, when practiced with the right techniques and under the guidance of an empowered lineage, can compress what might normally take 55 years of spiritual growth into a remarkably short window of time. Through the Mudrashram system of integral meditation, practitioners learn transformational methods that unfold the soul at its cutting edge, moving it forward along the Continuum of Consciousness in a balanced way. George explains how most seekers unknowingly practice techniques not aligned with where their soul actually sits. He shares how the attunement process, combined with mantra and Raja Yoga practices, can catalyze what he calls Initiation, a quantum leap in soul unfoldment that would otherwise require lifetimes of inner work. This episode is for anyone who takes meditation seriously and wants to understand how to truly accelerate their spiritual evolution.

Who This Episode Is For:

Meditators who want to understand why their practice may not be producing deep transformation
Seekers and entrepreneurs exploring consciousness expansion and inner work as paths to mastery
Anyone curious about how spiritual lineages can accelerate inner transformation

What You'll Learn:

How integral meditation compresses decades of spiritual growth into a fraction of the time
What the Great Continuum of Consciousness is and its 73 distinct spiritual paths
Why most seekers practice the wrong techniques for their current level of soul development
How attunement and Light Immersion catalyze rapid spiritual transformation

In this episode, we explore how professional football secretly became the training ground for a lifelong consciousness journey. Ricky shares the 2004 locker room moment when he realized fame could not fulfill what his soul was seeking, leading him to retire from the NFL, travel the world, study Ayurveda, and discover evolutionary astrology through his mentor Swami Sita. That encounter was the first time Ricky felt truly seen, not for his athletic ability, but for the consciousness underneath it. From there, a two year apprenticeship laid the foundation for a path of spiritual evolution and inner work that shapes everything he does today. We discuss how astrology maps the soul's deepest desires, why suppressing parts of ourselves attracts the very situations that force them to surface, and how Ricky is using AI to make spiritual evolution and self realization accessible to everyone through his app Lila.

Who This Episode Is For:

Anyone fascinated by the intersection of athletics, human potential, and consciousness
People curious about astrology as a serious tool for personal transformation
Listeners on a healing journey seeking deeper purpose and meaning in everyday life

What You'll Learn:

How football trained Ricky for the consciousness path and why coaching in sports translates to inner work
What evolutionary astrology is and how it maps our deep unconscious desires
Why suppressing yourself builds pressure that attracts external triggers and how conscious expression changes everything
How the Lila app and AI are making expanded awareness through astrology accessible to all

Inside the Consciousness Expansion Practice That Actually Reduced Crime in Eight American Cities (Raja John Bright)

Thu, 12 Jun 2025 11:00:00 -0400

John Bright is a Princeton graduate and longtime leader in the Transcendental Meditation movement who spent decades studying under Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. Trained as a TM teacher in 1970, John served as Maharishi's personal assistant, became the first administrative vice president of Maharishi International University, and opened the first TM centers in Lebanon, Jordan, and Egypt. Today he works with founders and CEOs on their own consciousness expansion journey, guiding them through higher states of awareness.

In this episode, we explore one of the most well researched consciousness expansion practices in history and the study that showed it actually reduced crime in eight American cities. John explains how TM produces a measurable fourth state of consciousness distinct from waking, sleeping, or dreaming, and how regular practice dissolves deeply rooted stress that sleep can never touch. He shares the research from UCLA and Harvard showing changes in oxygen consumption, brainwave coherence, and galvanic skin response during meditation. We also explore the Maharishi Effect, where just one percent of a city practicing TM led to an eight percent drop in crime while control cities saw crime rise. This is a conversation about what happens when human beings access the deepest layer of awareness through consciousness expansion and how that inner shift ripples outward.

Your Heart Can Sense the Future and the Science of Subtle Energy Proves It (Bruce Cryer)

Thu, 13 Mar 2025 14:00:00 -0400

Bruce Cryer is a founding director and former CEO of HeartMath, a pioneering organization whose research on heart intelligence, heart rate variability, and subtle energy has reshaped our understanding of human potential. Often called a Renaissance Human, Bruce is a former Broadway performer, Stanford adjunct professor, and co-author of From Chaos to Coherence. He now leads Vibrato, a community built around heart centered tools, breathwork, movement, and music.

In this episode with Bruce Cryer, we explore the consciousness science revealing the heart as far more than a pump and a center of subtle energy that can sense the future. Bruce shares HeartMath's research on how our emotional state shapes the heart's rhythm and sends measurable signals throughout the body and several feet beyond it into the biofield. He walks us through a landmark precognition study where the heart anticipated the emotional nature of an event seconds before it occurred, responding before the brain. We discuss practical heart coherence techniques, including a simple breathing and appreciation practice that creates heart brain coherence. Bruce explains how subtle energy generated by the heart influences people around us and shares how Vibrato helps generate waves of positive energy through somatic practices and inner work.

Cory Muscara is a former monk, bestselling author of Stop Missing Your Life, host of the Practicing Human podcast, and an instructor of Positive Psychology at the University of Pennsylvania. With over one million followers, Cory makes mindfulness and inner work accessible. His six month silent Vipassana retreat, practicing meditation 14 to 20 hours daily, transformed his understanding of the awakening process and what it means to come home to yourself.

In this episode, we explore why falling in love with the part of you that is holding on is the key to shifting your awakening process. Cory shares how most people try to force letting go from resistance, when the real path is bringing warmth to the fears underneath. We discuss how desires in stillness point toward the soul while desires in agitation come from ego, and why that matters for inner work and spiritual transformation. We also explore entrepreneurship as a path for inner transformation, and why the "waiting room" between life chapters is a misunderstood stage of the awakening process.

Who This Episode Is For:

Entrepreneurs and founders integrating inner work with professional life
Anyone navigating a life transition or releasing old patterns
Seekers deepening their connection to inner wisdom
People interested in how presence practices and meditation inform decisions

What You'll Learn:

Why you must fall in love with the part holding on before letting go happens
How to distinguish between desires rooted in ego and desires rooted in the soul
Why personal transformation requires unwinding patterns not adding new ones
How to use business as a spiritual path without spiritual bypassing
Ways to build trust with your inner knowing through experimentation

We discuss polarity and why choosing between service to others and service to self is the defining feature of our human experience. Aaron explains how higher consciousness emerges as we activate the heart chakra and live from love rather than fear, and how this spiritual evolution is unfolding on a planetary scale.

Seekers exploring consciousness expansion and the nature of reality
Entrepreneurs and leaders interested in inner work and metaphysics

Maryn Azoff is an internationally recognized Vocal Transformation facilitator, classically trained singer, and creator of the Vocal Transformation Method. After healing from a severely broken neck and retraining herself to open a locked jaw, Maryn discovered that the human voice is far more than a communication tool.

This conversation reveals how breath and sound work together to shift us out of survival mode, restore embodiment, and open the heart to its full creative power.

The Real Awakening Process Runs Straight Through the Parts of You That Are Still Becoming (Derek Haswell)

Thu, 31 Oct 2024 13:56:00 -0400

Derek Haswell is the co-founder of the award-winning meditation app, Happier, a consciousness coach, former engineer, and practitioner of Internal Family Systems who spent seven years on the awakening process before realizing something essential was missing. His path cracked open not through more meditation but through a late night conversation with an inner part that had been waiting to be heard. Today he works with founders and leaders who are serious about both waking up and the integration work that makes it real.

In this episode, we explore why the real awakening process runs directly through the parts of us that are still becoming. The unhealed and unintegrated aspects that spiritual practice alone cannot reach. Derek unpacks the difference between waking up and healing, how shadow work and parts work change your inner landscape, and why the pressure builds when you pursue one path while ignoring the other. We also go live with a real parts work demo inside the conversation.

Founders and entrepreneurs doing inner work who still feel something unresolved beneath the surface
Leaders on a spiritual path who want to understand why awakening and healing must happen together
Anyone in the awakening process curious about parts work, integration, and what genuine inner transformation looks like

How the X and Y axis model maps the relationship between consciousness expansion and integration
Why shadow work and parts work open access to intuition and presence
What a dark night of the soul actually moves through you and why it is not a breakdown

28 Years in China: What the Last Taoist Masters Taught Me About Inner Work (Andrew Nugent)

Fri, 04 Oct 2024 11:00:00 -0400

Andrew Nugent spent 28 years in China as a closing-door disciple to three classical masters of Taoism and Chinese medicine. His inner work journey began at 18 when a martial arts teacher healed his broken foot in two weeks without a cast.

He founded the Association for Traditional Studies , a nonprofit preserving these ancient arts through teaching and documentation.

In this episode with Andrew Nugent, we explore what real inner work looks like through classical Taoism, why the Tao Te Ching was written in chaos rather than peace, and how inner transformation is less about acquiring wisdom and more about clearing the noise that keeps us from hearing it.

Why the Tao Te Ching reads differently at every stage of life

Thu, 22 Aug 2024 11:00:00 -0400

Sean Clayton is a marketing entrepreneur, spiritual coach, and founder of Myosin and Myosin XYZ, as well the Science of Abundance. After surviving childhood sexual abuse, incarceration, homelessness, and a suicide attempt, Sean rebuilt his life through deep inner work and expanding consciousness.

Dave Hersh is the founding CEO of Jive Software, which he grew from a small open source project into a public company. He later served as a Board Partner at Andreessen Horowitz and now revives stuck startups as an investor and advisor. He is the author of Reignition and believes inner work is the foundation of companies that last.

In this episode with Dave Hersh, we explore why inner work is the real source code behind every successful company. Dave shares the crucible moment at Jive when the board pushed for an IPO while his marriage broke down, and the personal transformation that began at the Hoffman Institute when he realized change happens at the emotional level, not the intellectual one. We unpack how egoic needs push founders to raise too much money too soon, how intuition becomes a leadership superpower, and why embracing the liminal space between identities unlocks human potential. This conversation is for founders, CEOs, and leaders who sense that consciousness and inner transformation are not soft topics but the deepest lever for building something meaningful.

Founders and CEOs whose success has not delivered the happiness they expected
Leaders stuck in playbook thinking who want to lead from intuition
Entrepreneurs curious how inner work creates outer results
Anyone navigating a liminal season between an old identity and a new one

In this episode with Kyle Kowalski, we explore the kind of spiritual awakening that does not arrive as a lightning bolt but as a slow recognition that you are not who you thought you were. Kyle shares how burnout cracked him open, what it means to have a synthesizing mind, and why the awakening process begins the moment you know who you are not. We go deep into ego development theory, horizontal versus vertical growth, and why life itself is the greatest practice for inner transformation.

Maverick Kuhn is the co-founder of Thyself, an always available AI emotional work guide built on modalities like Internal Family Systems and somatic inquiry to help people do real inner work between practitioner sessions.

In this episode, we explore how AI is making the most powerful psychotechnologies for personal transformation accessible to anyone. Maverick unpacks why healing has always happened from the inside, why the tools to support that healing have stayed locked behind expensive containers, and how Thyself is changing that. They dig into the difference between self-improvement and self-enfoldment, how technology is currently functioning as a collective soothing mechanism, and what becomes possible when we build tools that point us back to ourselves instead of away from ourselves.

The Voice of the Cosmos: Ancient Consciousness Practices for a Modern Age of Distraction (Josh Schrei, Emerald Podcast)

Thu, 13 Jun 2024 12:00:00 -0400

Josh Schrei is the host of The Emerald, one of the most artistically rich mythology and spirituality podcasts available today, and the creator of The Mythic Body, a year long deep dive into mythic traditions from around the world.

In this episode, Josh explores what he calls the difference between right story and wrong story, and why the stories we inherit and absorb shape every dimension of how we perceive and live reality. He traces the roots of myth and ritual as the original consciousness practices of the human species and makes the case that nature is the ultimate barometer for which stories are worth holding. Josh goes deep on the tension between spiritual lineage and syncretism, why depth requires showing up to the same consciousness practices over and over even when it is inconvenient, and what the animate force of the cosmos needs from us in order to flow into our lives. This conversation is a grounding reminder that consciousness practices are not optional extras but the architecture through which human beings have always navigated the deeper currents of existence.

Who This Episode Is For:

Seekers who feel scattered across many traditions and want to understand the value of lineage and depth
Anyone drawn to myth, story, and the role of ritual in human consciousness and spiritual evolution
People navigating the noise of modern media who want a practical framework for discernment

How story functions as the filter through which we process all of reality
Why nature is the ultimate barometer for distinguishing right story from wrong story
What consciousness practices need structurally in order to hold the animate force of life
How to balance lineage depth with the syncretism that is natural to all living traditions

In this episode, Mickaela shares her framework for raising consciousness as a measurable, geometric, and electromagnetic process rooted in both ancient science and cutting edge research. She walks through how the human biofield operates as a living toroidal system, how unresolved emotional events create energetic blocks in the field, and how true sovereignty begins with taking full responsibility for what we emanate. Mickaela introduces her six-module curriculum at The Graceline Institute, explores the heart as the body's most powerful magnet, and brings David Hawkins' Map of Consciousness to life through the lens of electromagnetics, fractal geometry, and unified field theory.

How Inner Work for Entrepreneurs Creates Drama-Free Cultures That Actually Perform (Diana Chapman, Conscious Leadership Group)

Thu, 30 May 2024 12:00:00 -0400

Diana Chapman is co-author of The 15 Commitments of Conscious Leadership and co-founder of the Conscious Leadership Group, an organization that has helped thousands of leaders across companies like Asana drop drama, build trust, and create cultures rooted in genuine inner work for entrepreneurs and the teams they lead.

In this episode, Diana shares what is happening in her own life as she steps back from leading the Conscious Leadership Group to focus on a new chapter of working with global leaders. She breaks down why your culture will always be a direct reflection of your consciousness as a founder, what drama actually means in a business context, and why play is one of the most underrated tools available to any leadership team. Diana also challenges the concept of psychological safety, makes the case for vulnerability and wonder as performance multipliers, and explores what it means to lead from a through-me state rather than a by-me one.

Executives who want to reconnect with their bodies through embodiment practices
Founders navigating burnout and seeking a more sustainable way to operate
Anyone on a healing journey who wants to understand the somatic dimension of leadership

Thu, 18 Apr 2024 12:00:00 -0400

Kim Barta is a psychotherapist and shadow work teacher whose approach was shaped by years of working with deep intergenerational trauma as the only full time therapist on a Native American reservation. Her work helps people understand how shadow work can become more precise, effective, and compassionate by matching the right healing method to the right unconscious pattern.

In this episode, I talk with Kim about why shadow work is often misunderstood and why so many people stay stuck when they use one method for every problem. We explore the three types of shadow, how unconscious patterns form in childhood, and why real shadow work helps people move beyond symptom management into root cause healing.

Discovering Your Inner Wisdom and Truth with Nadine Kreisberger

Thu, 01 Feb 2024 13:15:00 -0400

And the inner gold that comes with it

I was recently in a text thread about how to find truth in our current times?

There has never been more people with microphones in history telling us how to live, what to believe, and what is happening in the world.

Although this diversity of information has created an immense amount of opportunity and freedom, it's also made discernment more important than ever.

This is true whether we're trying to understand what's happening in the world or the wisdom we choose to follow for our growth.

Today's guest Nadine Kreisberger has a unique perspective on this topic. As a counselor and consultant on her own journey of self exploration, she has spent the past 25 years studying many wisdom traditions, psychology, and geopolitics to help herself and others discover what she calls "the inner gold." The inner gold is our deepest essence and gifts that we come into this experience to discover and contribute.

The Challenging Impacts of Technology On Children & Potential Solutions (Sara Filipcic)

Thu, 16 Mar 2023 17:08:00 -0400

Now that I'm going to be a parent soon, I can't help but wonder about how all this technology is going to impact my kiddo?

And what can I do about it to help them be happy, heathy, and prosperous?

I recently discovered the work of Sara Filipcic who spent years studying the impact of technology on children and now has started a new company to help improve the situation called BeHumane.

Her research painted somewhat of a dire picture that made it clear that we as a society need to do something about this:

Adolescents using devices 5 or more hours a day (vs. 1 hour) were 66% more likely to have at least one suicide-related outcome1
Results of a 2016 Common Sense Media Report found that 50% of teens "feel addicted" to mobile devices, while 59% of parents surveyed believe that kids are addicted to their devices2
Seven-in-ten U.S. teens said anxiety and depression is a major problem among people their age in the community where they live3
Technology can negatively affect children's developing social skills, relationships, health, and overall ability to focus, developing their social skills. This can lead to more children being socially awkward, withdrawn, shy, or intimidated by social situations.4

Going deep into this area of study there were many more subtle "aha" moments that helped her form her vision for BeHumane which aims to teach kids how to use technology effectively.

The Nervous System's Role In Inner Transformation (Jonny Miller)

Thu, 09 Mar 2023 14:34:00 -0400

The nervous system is the lens through which you experience the world.

This quote really hit home for me from this weeks episode with Jonny Miller, founder of Nervous System Mastery and the Curious Humans Podcast and blog.

The nervous system seems to be intimately related to energy in our bodies. As electrical beings, this shouldn't come as a massive surprise. I wanted to learn more about this which is why I was very excited to have Jonny who is a nervous system expert on the show.

I've learned many hard lessons on overtaxing my nervous system due to my spiritual ambition which has resulted in lots of discomfort over the years. In many instances, this was due to engaging in practices I thought were supposed to help aid my transformation like breathwork and other somatic release techniques. 🧐

What I see now and discuss with Jonny, was how I was missing a the imperative long integration and re-patterning period after big releases. I also generally overdid it. Shocker.

There also proves to be an immense amount of nuance in truly relaxing into a sensation vs. trying to focus on it and push it out. Learning this is practically a whole skill in itself. Again, this took me years of doing it wrong and enduring subsequent physical difficulties to truly understand.

If you are doing any somatic work, this is a must listen episode. The depth of understanding that Jonny has is truly amazing and the language he uses to communicate complex concepts is wonderful. Did I mention he has a charming British accent?!

Exploring the Mind-Bending World of Endogenous DMT and Telekinetic Phenomena (John Chavez)

Thu, 16 Feb 2023 13:40:00 -0400

Did you know every mammal including humans produces DMT naturally in their bodies? The same can be said for 1,000's of plants.

I wanted to make sure you knew this before anyone wrote this off as a psychedelics or "drugs" conversation which is often the cultural association with DMT.

Right now there is a massive disconnect between mystical experiences and the world of Science. The gap is closing, but it often still feels like there's these two camps who speak in different languages.

What we need is a bridge!

And that bridge just might be a greater understanding Dimethyltryptamine (DMT). You might have the heard of DMT because it's the active psychedelic agent in things like Ayahuasca. But as I alluded too in the intro, it's also produced naturally in every mammal and most plants! In fact, we have just as much DMT in our systems as serotonin.

John Chavez is the founder of DMTQuest which is an organization that is helping push forward the much needed research and education around DMT. Through financing studies and creating a media that educates and amplifies the potentiality of understanding this substance, he is helping us answer these questions.

John's story is a fascinating one that in some ways mirrors my own. He had a radical and spontaneous mystical experience that redirected him to pursue answering and understanding the greater truths about the human experience.

The Alarming State of America's Health & Food (Justin Mares)

Wed, 08 Feb 2023 22:32:00 -0400

One of my closest friends Justin Mares knows more about health then just about anyone I know. He's built 3 food companies in Kettle & Fire, Perfect Keto, and Surely Wines which give him unique insight into how the stuff we put into our bodies is actually made. Now he is working on new company called True Medicine that is making it easier and more affordable to be healthy.

I've been a long time follower of his newsletter @ and a few years ago he started sharing staggering information on what is happening to the U.S. population's health citing our food system as a culprit.

Check these stats out which we discuss in the episode:

The average testosterone of a 22 year old American male is the same as a 67 year old man 20 years ago
In 1990, there were 0 states with obesity greater than 20%. In 2018, there are 0 states with obesity less than 20%. Obesity, which is correlated to lots of health issues, has more then doubled in the past 28 years.
25% of the pesticides we use in the U.S. for growing food (including organic) are illegal in Europe
The new food pyramid in the U.S. claims that sugary cereal is more healthy then eating an egg or piece of beed
93% of streams, rivers and lakes in the US had some sort of like microplastic contamination in them

What Do Brain Implants and Spirituality Have In Common? (Joe Allen)

Thu, 02 Feb 2023 01:39:00 -0400

Let me start off by saying, I have zero interest in participating in what many call the transhuman movement. Specifically, implanting some type of technology into my body in order to alter or enhance the way in which I experience the world.

That being said, I do think it's important to understand what is going on. This is clearly going to be a thing in our lifetimes that will vastly impact culture and society and I'd rather be informed. A few weeks ago someone had recommended Singularity Weekly to me and I was startled to see how far along we are in this field.

I wanted to have Joe Allen the author of singularity weekly and Steven Bannon's War Room transhuman expert.

The most interesting thing that emerged from the conversation was the realization that transhumanism is very much a religion. There is a group of people that are attempting to transcend their current condition and achieve salvation. In these higher states, they also strive to achieve greater abilities of unity and access to higher intelligence.

Gee. Sounds kind of like most wisdom traditions. I guess the main difference is the mechanism they believe will usher into this change is technology. Joe called this worship of technology as our savior an inversion of spirituality. I tend to agree, but this new understanding certainly helped me better understand what is more fundamentally driving the leaders of these movements.

I can't say that my opinion has really shifted. I am increasingly getting excited about living a more analog life. Having less technology dominates my experience and generally being more connected to nature. This probably means I will have to move from my urban existence at some point, but I am okay with that. I increasingly think living in Urban areas with high degrees of invisible environmental toxins make it harder to be healthier than it needs to be. And I care more about myself and family being healthy than nice dinners with friends and access to luxury experiences. I think we will start to see this appeal to more and more urban professionals in the next decade. I guess we already are.

When Will Healthcare Acknowledge & Effectively Treat Spiritual Phenomenon?

Thu, 26 Jan 2023 08:47:00 -0400

It can be quite frustrating to be experiencing something unfamiliar that our medical system doesn't have an answer for. Unfortunately, I know from experience as documented here!

This is very common with many "spiritual", "mystical", "energetic", etc. experiences and effects, that are often referred to as emergent phenomena.

A few months ago, I was delighted to discover the The Emergent Phenomenology Research Consortium. The EPRC is a group of 180+ researchers, scientists, medical, therapy and spiritual professionals that are trying to tackle the hard problem of gathering data and research on the large catalogue of emergent phenomena experiences that humans may face and the efficacy of different protocols for handling them.

Daniel Ingram is one of the co-founders of the organization and also the author of one my favorite books on Buddhism Mastering the Core Teachings of the Buddha.

The EPRC's aim is to give health care systems, mental health providers, and those who are helping to teach and promote various practices the information they need in order to make better decisions about how to both promote the benefits of these practices and manage the various effects that they can produce.

What's It Like To Be An Ayahausca Shaman

Wed, 21 Dec 2022 16:11:00 -0400

This week's episode is with my good friend Zach Poitra who I have worked with in a Shamanic capacity for 3 separate ayahuasca retreats.

Zach's story is amazing. After working for an investment bank for 10 years, he moved down to Peru to live in the jungle and work on himself. What he thought would be a temporary stint transpired into him meeting and training with his shamanic teacher for 4.5 years before becoming a full-time shaman himself. Now after many years helping others with their own inward work, he has felt a calling to re-enter the world of finance which was something he would have never anticipated.

He provides an inside look at what the life of a Shaman is actually like demystifying a lot of common misconceptions I know I originally had. We also talk about his inner experience of being guided to return to finance which too many, seemed like a surprising move. Personally, I think its a fantastic example of surrendering to the universe and when we do this things often take different forms then what we would have expected.
