    We are joined by Carl Safina , Carl explores our relationship with nature, and the relationship between nature and human dignity. His more recent work also focuses on the questions of how animals think and feel. in This conversation we discuss animal consciousness, the conversation of consciousness is really a difficult conversation and especially when it comes to animals. What level of intellengce do animals have? How much do they really feel and know there surroundings? What is the variable we use in our mind to define what we class as conscious? Are animals really thinking and feeling? What's going on inside the brains of animals? Can we know what, or if, they're thinking and feeling? 

    Theres a lot of weird stuff that animals and planets are doing on the planet that we don’t fully understand a lot of very interesting and contresal questions that we certinlty wanted to have a conversation about and we both certainly feel to fully try and understand this crazy human exercise or ride we are on, we really feel we need to try and understand the things that are also on this ride with us

This conversation took on so many different angles, so just to paint a little picture for this episode imagine a world where the difference between man and machine blurs, where the line between humanity and technology fades, and where the soul and silicon chip unite, could this already have been done, are we on the verge of creating this new kind of world and human now? how does the future of earth tie into this, hows does spitual enlighingment tie into the future. We are already living in a world where computers today exceed human intellengce, in many different areas such as playing chess, diagnosing certain medical conditions, buying and selling, yet human intellengce still remains far more supple and flexible. However Ray Kurzweil talks about how the most advanced computer are still currently about a million times simpler then the human brain, however he talks about how in the future computers will be able at achieve the same computing speed as the human brain the future is going to be insane to say the least in so many different areas.

  • AP 54: Genetically Controlled Bio Robots • Bruce Lipton

    Topics We Covered in this Podcast:

    Subconscious controlling  

  • Genetically controlled Robots  

  • Childs imagination mind to age of 7  

  • Human Virtual reality suit  

  • Earth Rovers

  • Bruce lipton has a quote and he says’I’m an Earth Rover - here to create here to experience and here to manifest the love...and when they come together, we are already engaged in the next higher level of human evolution!

    A Very interesting way to think about the human experience deffinlty, are we a sophisticated human each rover, are we just experiencing life in a human virtual reality meat suit? maybe who knows?Within this podcast Bruce Lipton describes us humans as “Earth Rovers”, similar to a Mars Rover. The rover is you in this Universe on planet Earth. While our higher consciousness is the controller back at NASA. Taking this idea further, you could also consider humans as “Virtual Reality Rovers” or even “Players” in this Universe, this virtual reality, this simulation, this game.

    Bruce Lipton, biologist (author of The Biology of Belief), we discuss what bruce has discovered about reality and gives his perspectives form a biology standpoint, We discuss virtuel reality, reprogming our subconscious mind. We even delve into the question do cells in the human body have consciousness.

    Bruce liptons is most well known for uncoving the powerful truth that Many people, are programmed with the concept of genetic determinism, and the belife that genes in the fertilized egg at conception determine character and fate. Unable to pick our DNA genes, we are powerless to control our life, so that the only option is seeking help from someone in the biomedical community to fix our genes. Bruce introduced a new vision about the understanding of genes a half-century ago that is now is the new science of epigenetics. .this new understanding now proves we can realize control by regulating the environment in which we live and our perception of it, making us the master of our own genetics rather than a victim of heredity.

  • AP 53: Universe of Sound • Alexandre Tannous

    Topics We Covered in this Podcast:

    Sound may be the creator of this reality 

  • Cymatics 

  • Sound traveling through water 

  • Altering Consciousness  

  • Tibetan Monks 

  • Search for Hidden Knowledge
  •  



  • Science tells us that all life is energy in one form or another. and, this energy is eternal, changing and morphing from one shape or form to another. Each ‘energy shape’ has its own particular pattern of frequencies, or vibrations. When one form experiences a matching frequency in the form of a musical note, the form will begin to vibrate in sympathy with a certin note. A strong enough vibration can even cause a form to restructure itself, Our body is a perfect transmitter of vibration, being 70% water. So that is why todays podcast is going to be deving into the universe of sound, when you do really think about it we are constantly walking around and living in a world of sound and sometimes we actually just forget to rember how many different beautiful sounds that are actually on this planet and are a gift to our body and minds. 

    When peoeople provide complex information and you struggle to understand it all straight away that’s fine, don’t get frustrated cause the fact you are exposing your self complex ideas is the fact you are meant to be. Just imagine hearing the same ideas over and over again you already do understand ? now imagine indulging your mind in new ones ? what is that doing for you brain, firing and wiring new connections all over your body. Look at training the body, working muscles you haven’t before you start reaching areas, within your body that is untapped! Now go back to a bit of information, a thought a idea that will also open up and reach areas within our minds that is untapped. So that is why Alexandre Tannous is on the podcast to give us a powerful reminder that sound is everthing. Alexandre is Sound researcher, philosopher, mystic, world traveler and speaker, But more importantly, he’s done the  inner-work by traveling the world, participating in indigenous shamanistic ceremonies, steeping himself in history and mysticism and so much more. Alexandre Tannous certinlty goes deep as we discuss the finer points of sound meditation and consciousness.

  • Albert Einstien has a quote saying Curiosity has it own reason for existence. He talks about how one cannot help but be in awe when we contemplate the mysteries of life and the structure of reality, and he said it is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery each day and it also seems to be in life and also the theme of this podcast that the fact that we are seeking truth, knowledge and wisdom is possibly the fact we are meant to be seeking. However along this journey it seems to be that everything turns in on its self, and you have to learn it all again and again. its like the more we know the more we don’t know.
