Breaking Your Chains

This episode is more of a thought experiment: It began at a meetup group, when I mentioned how weird it was that we have these ancient pyramids, similar in age, construction, and use, all over the world, but from a time when the world was not connected at all. A reply, with a possible link between the ancient pyramids and the Tower of Babel, led me on a journey, questioning the possibility of that link... which then led me into a line of thought about how our words alone, can fall totally short with regards to understanding God.

Consciousness is something that has baffled people forever. What is it? Where is it? How do we even define it? I think the confusion sets in because it can mean so many different things to so many different people. It can mean anything from "our feeling of being awake", to something extra-sensory and unknown within us, to a type of bond that connects us all. Today, I will make an argument for all of these descriptions... and more.

Today, I started out with an intent to do a podcast about time, but while researching time the story naturally flowed in many other directions, into subjects that were so interesting they demanded to be included.  Many serious flaws were exposed, not only with regards to what science really knows, but with the entire establishment itself.   

Also included in this episode:  Newton - not cool, Blame Einstein, A world without time, Beavis got jokes, Scientific American triggers me, Big Bang - science shot me down, and so much more…

Today I want to talk about a way of dealing with EVERY problem we face, as well as our lives in general, that will always end in a win… with love. This isn’t gonna just be a rah-rah show. I’m going to give specific examples. We’ll talk science. We’ll also talk metaphysics. We’ll share scenarios. We’ll talk philosophy… And I’m going to seriously provide an intelligent argument to convince you that love truly does win, every time.

Today's show is gonna be a good one! We are going to talk about a lot of things within quantum physics that will blow your mind, including the double split experiment, the measurement problem, superposition, and entanglement. I’m going to explain them in clear, easy to understand words. Then we are going to talk about many theories within science based on trying to understand the results of experiments: the Many Worlds Theory, the Holographic Principle, Quantum Realism, Simulation Theory, and Biocentrism. Then we are going to discuss some crossovers between metaphysics and quantum physics that I both agree and disagree with.

We spend a third of our lives asleep, and we dream for a large portion of the time we are asleep, but we have no idea what dreams are or why we have them.  Today we are gonna talk about dreaming.  I’m going to bring you a lot of information related to what we know, or think we know, along with my own thoughts on the subject.   We are also going to cover several things related to dreams, like lucid dreaming, sleep paralysis, people who act out their dreams, and how scientists are trying to figure out if they can change our waking thoughts and desires by manipulating our dreams.  We’re going to talk about the heavy abundance of negative dreams, and how I think we can change that.  We are also going to talk about many spiritual dream associations, like dream telepathy, precognition in dreams, shared dreams, time-travel in dreams, etc.

What if I told you that the consensus among experts in the neuroscience field is that we do NOT see the world as it truly is, at all? The truth is, we don’t! Every once in a while I come across a subject so amazing that it stuns me, and I just sit there thinking, “This is life changing! Why don’t they cover this in school?”

This has been one of the best of those subjects, and it has been a total game changer for how I view life on many levels. Today, we are going to cover a ton related to perception: The science behind perception; perception vs reality; many of the top studies on perception; and how we can use all of this information to better our lives.

I've always been a fan of Tony Robbins, who some people view as the best "life coach" on the planet, so when I saw he was doing a free, live, five-day seminar I jumped on it. I expected it to be entertaining. I expected to get something out of it. What I didn't expect, was to have a meltdown and breakthrough on day one, that would lead me down a life changing path of discovery. Today I will get very personal, talking about my experiences in Tony's seminar and how it transformed my life.

Today we will talk with Jordan Harris of the "HereWithJordan" YouTube channel about the power of listening. Jordan interviews complete strangers on the streets and asks them some really deep questions. The moments he captures are truly amazing. As much as the mainstream media tries to divide us, his videos show us that we are all not so different after all, and they show us how, by showing compassion and really listening and understanding each other, we can all find increased commonality and greater love as a society.
