Quantum Consciousness – Narratively Speaking

NSP034 – Consciousness Without Matter

Can you live as a brain in a jar?

Doug Wilson, author of “Kundalini Running“, joins me on the podcast to celebrate the final upload of his audiobook and to talk about the physical mechanisms of consciousness and whether or not one can exist without the other.

Like all my conversations with Doug, it’s a bit of a mind-bending discussion where no idea is off the table.

Enjoy!

NSP005 – Stories We Hold Onto

Sometimes we protect our stories against all reason and evidence.

But do we really need the stories that originally inspired positive ideas to be validated? Does having facts debunked make the beliefs that arose from them any less useful?

And what if you can’t let go of a story that’s untrue?
