With the scientific foundation complete, the podcast series shifts into the spiritual realm with this compelling episode that unravels the mystery of how the physical world co-exists with the spiritual dimension. Dan opens the episode with a unique perspective to help understand and appreciate the body’s spiritual component. Then, he explores the enigma of how a dimension made of solid physical form can interact with one of ethereal composition. The “secret” that bridges these two worlds is closer than you may think. 

In one of the more important episodes, Dan takes on the intriguing topic of thoughts. What are thoughts? How are they created? Everything we do, feel, and act upon occurs because of our thoughts. How does something that has no tangible form become such an integral part of our very tangible world? Are thoughts nothing more than biochemical reactions and synapses firing in the brain? Or is it possible that thoughts arise from somewhere beyond the physical brain?

Dan explores these alluring questions with a unique perspective that illustrates just how influential the spiritual realm is over the physical dimension. Dan clarifies the mysteries behind your thoughts and helps you to recognize just how powerful your thoughts are in creating your reality. 

After learning that Chi flows through the body providing life-giving energy, Dan explores the energy distribution system of the body known as chakras that he calls “The Magnificent Seven.” Similar to how the circulatory system pumps blood through veins, arteries, and capillaries, energy is pumped through the body via chakras. Dan gives detailed descriptions of the chakras, where they are located, and how they influence your physical, emotional, and spiritual bodies. This must-hear episode takes the podcast series firmly down the spiritual path with no turning back. 

After 8 episodes of building a scientific foundation, Dan begins the exciting journey into the spiritual realm by introducing you to your spiritual body. All physical matter is composed of the same subatomic building blocks – electrons, neutron, and protons - including the flesh and bones of your body. So, if our bodies are made from the same particles as inanimate matter what makes us different than a rock? Get ready for another fascinating episode as Dan answers this provocative question showing how your body has two separate components. One is mortal flesh and bones matter. The other is an eternal spiritual being.

You may have been shocked in Episode 7 with the revelation that matter is composed of swirling bits of energy. In this episode, Dan explores another mind-altering phenomenon about the building blocks of all matter when he demonstrates that atoms are virtually nothing but empty space. The solid physical world you thought you knew is nearly 100% empty. If you’re not convinced, then you’ll want to listen closely to this episode where Dan provides mind-blowing evidence that the reality of the world is not what you think!

There’s been ample evidence and examples of a Universal Intelligence that is somehow infused in our physical world. If there is such an ‘all-connecting’ intelligence guiding everything in the physical world, providing rules for quantum particles, instruction manuals for Nature, and connecting all as one, then where does this intelligence reside? A higher intelligence or consciousness is non-physical, immaterial. How can it exist when all our senses confirm the material world is a solid, brick & mortar physical certainty?

Dan takes on these probing questions in Episode 7, when he embarks on a profound investigation into the physical world to determine if it is really as solid as you think. It proves to be another brain twisting revelation when Dan introduces the energy of the physical world. 

Episodes 1-5 of the series has shown a powerful intelligence popping up throughout the physical world – from tiny subatomic particles to majestic towering trees. But just how ubiquitous and all-encompassing is this Intelligence? Does it permeate the Universe in its entirety?

In this serving of Cup of Reality, Dan addresses these profound questions when he introduces an astonishing trademark of nature known as The Golden Ratio! This natural wonder comes in the form of a ratio, with a numerical equivalent of 1.618. Some call it the most beautiful number in the Universe. It’s captivated mathematicians, artists, designers, and scientists for centuries! The ratio is found throughout nature and appears to be a constant in the design of the universe.

It’s a mystifying episode that brings you up-close & personal to what could be the divine blueprint of the creator.

This serving of Cup of Reality has Dan giving another example of how the physical world is infused with a higher intelligence. Having started on the small scale with atomic structure, DNA, and butterflies in episodes 1 -4. The series now steps back even further to investigate universal intelligence showing its hand in a manner that is so ubiquitous you could say it takes root across the planet. You’ll be left in a state of awe when Dan compares apples to oranges an extraordinary way that’s sure to give you a whole new perspective on the awesome power of Universal Intelligence through a little experiment he calls, “Comparing Apples to Oranges!”

At this juncture of the podcast series, Dan has built a case for the presence of a higher intelligence influencing the atomic structure of all matter. He now explores the physical world for indicators of a higher intelligence guiding its operation. 

 In this serving, Dan steps back from the sub-atomic realm (of episode 3) and into the world we live to introduce a phenomenon of nature in the form of a colorful flying insect known as the Monarch Butterfly. Their annual migration is the most unique and amazing spectacle in all of nature. It’s an incredible marvel that gives you a front-row seat to the awesome intelligence of nature. Dan likes to call it the “Monarch Miracle!”

In the first two episodes, Dan made a strong case for intelligent design having a hand in the creation of life…but what does it mean to have a Universal Intelligence infused in our world?

In this serving of Cup of Reality, Dan examines the physical world for indicators of a higher intelligence guiding its operation. He begins at the atomic level exploring the very structure of matter and reveals one of reality's greatest phenomena - the building blocks that make up all we see and touch – the atom. 

Dan introduces concepts that’ll make you question the solid, brick & mortar world around you and opens your eyes to the miracles of life and the balance of the universe. It’s a mind-twisting take on physical matter that’ll redefine how you view the physical world.
