Can We REALLY Communicate With the Dead? Suzanne Giesemann Reveals Shocking Evidence, Afterlife Secrets & the Science of Intuition

Is the afterlife closer than you think? What if the difference between an ordinary thought and a message from Spirit comes down to something you can actually learn to recognize?

In this episode of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, spiritual teacher and evidential medium Suzanne Giesemann shares extraordinary experiences, groundbreaking insights, and compelling examples of information she believes came from beyond the veil, including a chilling case involving a boy who knew he was going to be struck and killed by lightning. She also breaks down her experience channeling Kirk and Anne Douglas during a reading, raising a profound question: How do we distinguish vague intuition from genuinely evidential information?

From the mysteries of consciousness after death to the role of the nervous system in mediumship, Suzanne explores what might be happening beneath our conscious awareness, and why some people seem more naturally attuned to other frequencies, whether connecting with deceased loved ones, spirit guides, or even aliens.

Suzanne breaks down:

- Where does consciousness go when we die, and how does Suzanne believe she is able to access information from beyond the physical world?

- Relationship between the nervous system, intuitive perception, and mediumship, and how we may be able to train ourselves to interpret information differently

- Why people frequently report unusual experiences, intuitive insights, and messages from Spirit during the overnight and early-morning hours

- Can anyone learn to access the other side? How much of our perception is trainable?

- What makes certain people seem more capable of tuning into deceased souls, spirit guides, or even extraterrestrial beings?

- How to tell the difference between intuition from Spirit and your own thoughts

- How widening our perspective beyond the “only human” viewpoint can open us to possibilities we might otherwise dismiss

- What remains difficult to understand about mediumship and recent breakthroughs that have expanded her perspective

- What Is REALLY Going On With Hauntings and Poltergeists? Are these experiences misunderstood phenomena, something connected to consciousness, or something else entirely?

- Why she believes nobody suffers during the transition to the afterlife

- Is the MBB podcast studio haunted? Suzanne weighs in on whether she senses anything unusual in the studio.

- What does Suzanne think of Mayim's recent highly intuitive experience?

- When should you share a message From Spirit, and when should you keep it to yourself?

- What changes when we approach life from the perspective of the soul rather than identifying only with our physical existence?

- Practical ways to reframe everyday challenges, consider the lessons they may hold, and approach life's obstacles from a broader perspective

Plus...as humanity faces rapid change and an uncertain future, Suzanne shares a message of comfort, hope, and connection from her spiritual perspective.

Whether you're curious about mediumship, fascinated by consciousness, searching for a deeper understanding of intuition, or simply wondering what happens when we die, this conversation invites you to question what you think you know, and consider what might be possible when we recognize that we may be more than just human.

In this special episode, originally recorded live with our Breaker community on Substack, Mayim and Jonathan sit down with Arthur Brooks to talk about happiness, meaning, and his new book, The Meaning of Your Life: Finding Purpose in an Age of Emptiness.

Brooks is one of the leading voices on human happiness, and he explains why the wealthiest, most technologically advanced countries have the highest share of people who say they don’t know their meaning or purpose. He argues it comes down to how much time we spend in our left brain versus our right brain, and how to find the balance.

His top recommendations:

- Step away from your devices

- Pursue relationships and experiences the old-fashioned way

- Grapple with the big questions in life that lead to meaning

His description of dating apps as a “left-brain simulation of right-brain emotions” reframes almost every part of how we connect with each other. He also explores the difference between healthy and unhealthy suffering, and why meaning is found when we get our hands dirty in life.

What if near death experiences are giving us clues about what happens after we die, and even revealing something about God, consciousness, and our purpose here on Earth?

John Burke, bestselling author of Imagine Heaven, has spent years researching more than 1,500 NDEs. In this episode of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, he shares some of the most compelling accounts he has encountered, and explains why he believes the similarities between NDEs and ancient spiritual and religious texts deserve a much closer look.

Could near death experiences actually point to a reality beyond our physical universe? Could consciousness exist in dimensions we don't yet understand? And what might NDEs reveal about heaven, hell, God, the soul, and the purpose of our lives?

John dives into some extraordinary territory, including:

- Shocking commonalities across thousands of NDES, and what they might tell us about the nature of reality

- Nearly half of NDE experiencers report encountering “the love and light of God” - What does this overwhelming experience actually mean?

- Evidence from NDEs that may suggest reality contains extra dimensions beyond the physical world we normally perceive

- Remarkable cases of blind near death experiencers who report being able to see on the other side (and the profound implications this raises about consciousness and perception)

- Could NDEs have happened in biblical times? John examines evidence of NDE-like experiences in ancient religious texts and discusses which biblical figures may have experienced something similar

- What life reviews reveal about our unique purpose & how we can pursue that purpose now

- Mysterious nature of time on the other side

- Why people struggle to describe what they experienced after death

- What does it mean to remain “yourself” after death?

- Soul-to-soul communication: Why do experiencers say communication beyond this life is somehow “more” than telepathy?

- Shallow vs. deep NDEs

- Clinical evidence that convinced John NDEs are real

- Negative and "hellish" NDEs - why some experiencers return with PTSD, and how even these terrifying encounters can ultimately transform a person's life for the better

- What if hell isn't simply a place of punishment?

- How so many people may be getting God wrong

- Individuality vs. oneness: How can every person have a unique path and purpose while still being part of a reality in which everything is connected?

- Evidence connecting NDEs with ancient spiritual texts

- Clues NDEs may leave behind about our purpose on Earth: Why might our purpose be both deeply personal and multifaceted rather than just one single calling?

John also explores one of the biggest mysteries of all: If these experiences are real, what do they tell us about who we are—and why we're here?

Whether you believe NDEs are evidence of an afterlife, extraordinary experiences produced by the brain, or something we don't yet understand, the stories and evidence raise questions that are difficult to ignore.

Is consciousness more than the brain? Is there really an “other side”? What happens when we die? And could near death experiences be giving humanity clues about the answers?

What if time isn’t real, multiple timelines exist simultaneously, and your consciousness can leave your body?

In this episode of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, Nancy Rynes (scientist, geologist, archaeologist, artist, inspirational speaker, and author of Awakenings from the Light: 12 Life Lessons from a Near Death Experience) reveals the unbelievable story of her near death experience (NDE) and the profound revelations that changed everything she believed about life, death, consciousness, and what happens after we die.

After being hit by a car while riding her bike, Nancy describes watching the accident from outside her body, experiencing a split in consciousness between her ordinary “ego” awareness and what she calls her higher self, and encountering a mysterious woman who helped her at the scene, yet has never been identified to this day.

During surgery, Nancy says she awakened somewhere completely unlike the physical world: a beautiful, ethereal hillside filled with tendrils of pulsating energy. But it wasn't a physical place at all. Nancy came to understand it as a kind of “construct.” As an atheist, her first question upon realizing she may have died was why wasn’t she in hell?

Then came her encounter with a spirit guide, who told Nancy she had to return to “earth school”, something she desperately did not want to do.

Nancy remembers an agreement she believes she made before birth: a “soul contract” that included being born into her particular family and undergoing specific personal transformations in order to fulfill her soul’s purpose. She also shares the 12 life lessons she says emerged from her NDE, including her profound belief that “God is love” and completely all-encompassing and all-inclusive, and that we are never truly alone.

She explains why she believes energy levels may be the only thing separating our reality from the other realm, and recounts a powerful life review in which she experienced how her actions had positively or negatively affected other people. Her experience gave her a radically different perspective on the enormous impact of seemingly insignificant choices, including small, random acts of kindness that may affect someone far more deeply than we realize.

Nancy also opens up about what happened after she returned to her body: the physical and emotional recovery, the struggle to readjust to ordinary reality, and the depression she experienced because she desperately wanted to return to the spirit realm she had experienced. At the same time, she discovered new creative abilities and gifts that she hadn't experienced before.

Nancy describes remembering two of her friends dying before her NDE—only to discover that both friends were still alive when she returned. This bizarre experience became part of why she believes different timelines can exist at the same time and why she now views time as an illusion.

Her experiences may have challenged everything she once believed, but Nancy wasn't always spiritually open. As a small child, she was deeply spiritual and believes she may have experienced an earlier NDE at age 4, which may have primed her for remote viewing later in life. Raised Catholic, she nevertheless questioned and rejected many of the teachings she was exposed to. As an adult, her science-minded brain—shaped by her work as a geologist and archaeologist—made her especially skeptical. She also carried a powerful fear of death.

Yet before her life-changing accident, Nancy says she began experiencing strange dreams and an unmistakable feeling that something was about to happen.

Was her childhood experience a preview of what was to come? Did her consciousness actually separate from her body? Who was the mysterious woman at the accident scene? What exactly is “earth school”? Could a soul contract really exist? And if Nancy’s memories of her friends suggest that multiple timelines can coexist, what does that mean for our understanding of time, consciousness, and reality?

This is a fascinating deep dive into NDEs, consciousness, the afterlife, higher self, spirit guides, soul contracts, life reviews, remote viewing, spirituality, timelines, and the mystery of what happens when we die!

What if the UFO phenomenon isn’t simply being investigated by governments, but is being used to investigate us? And what if the forces behind it are connected to consciousness, intelligence agencies, occultism, and nonhuman intelligence?

In this episode of Mayim Bialik’s Breakdown, Peter Levenda, author of the Sinister Forces trilogy and co-author with Blink-182’s Tom DeLonge of the nonfiction Sekret Machines trilogy (Gods, Man, and War), goes deep down the rabbit hole of UFOs, UAP, nonhuman intelligence (NHI), government secrecy, consciousness, occultism, intelligence operations, and the mysterious “Men in Black.”

We begin with the JFK assassination and explore its possible connections to UFOs, NHI, consciousness, and sinister forces operating behind the scenes. Levenda examines why he believes Kennedy’s assassination may have affected the American psyche more deeply than we realize, as well as the intriguing parallels between the Lincoln and Kennedy assassinations. Could the U.S. government have been influenced by negative nonhuman intelligence? Was there ever a secret deal between the government and aliens? And is the growing push for UFO/UAP/NHI disclosure revealing the truth, or concealing something more sinister?

Levenda discusses why he finds it frustrating that NHI is often reduced to traditional “angels and demons” narratives, and why understanding the phenomenon may require perspectives from religious scholars, linguists, anthropologists, psychiatrists, and other experts, not just the technological and military worlds. We examine the infamous Roswell UAP crash and its possible connection to Nazi technology, the relationship between occultism, religion, mythology, and power, and the disturbing ties between occult ideas and Nazi Germany.

We also explore Levenda’s encounters with the “Men in Black,” including why he believes certain entities may not want him to have the information he possesses. He shares his own riveting UAP sighting and considers the strange possibility that his years of studying UFOs and occultism could somehow have played a role in summoning or conjuring the phenomenon.

Could intelligence agencies be studying (and potentially manipulating) UFO experiencers? Levenda explores theories involving the CIA, reverse-engineering the phenomenon, and the unsettling history of government experimentation on its own citizens, including MKUltra, Project Bluebird, and the Montreal “deep patterning” experiments involving memory manipulation and alleged false-memory implantation. We ask what consciousness manipulation might look like today, and how psychological operations, propaganda, and behavioral experimentation could influence what we believe without us recognizing it.

We also unpack the controversial theories surrounding Hitler’s alleged survival after World War II, questioning the official bunker-suicide narrative and examining conflicting eyewitness testimony. We also confront a deeper question: What happens psychologically when you go too far down the rabbit hole of UFOs, secret societies, occultism, and humanity’s hidden history?

From JFK and Roswell to NHI, intelligence agencies, government experimentation, disclosure, consciousness manipulation, the Men in Black, Nazi technology, occultism, and Hitler survival theories, this conversation explores whether the UFO phenomenon is technological, psychological, consciousness-related...or something far stranger.

And if powerful institutions have influenced what people believe for generations, how much of our reality is actually our own?

What if the UFO phenomenon isn’t simply being investigated by governments, but is being used to investigate us? And what if the forces behind it are connected to consciousness, intelligence agencies, occultism, and nonhuman intelligence?

In this episode of Mayim Bialik’s Breakdown, Peter Levenda, author of the Sinister Forces trilogy and co-author with Blink-182’s Tom DeLonge of the nonfiction Sekret Machines trilogy (Gods, Man, and War), goes deep down the rabbit hole of UFOs, UAP, nonhuman intelligence (NHI), government secrecy, consciousness, occultism, intelligence operations, and the mysterious “Men in Black.”

We begin with the JFK assassination and explore its possible connections to UFOs, NHI, consciousness, and sinister forces operating behind the scenes. Levenda examines why he believes Kennedy’s assassination may have affected the American psyche more deeply than we realize, as well as the intriguing parallels between the Lincoln and Kennedy assassinations. Could the U.S. government have been influenced by negative nonhuman intelligence? Was there ever a secret deal between the government and aliens? And is the growing push for UFO/UAP/NHI disclosure revealing the truth, or concealing something more sinister?

Levenda discusses why he finds it frustrating that NHI is often reduced to traditional “angels and demons” narratives, and why understanding the phenomenon may require perspectives from religious scholars, linguists, anthropologists, psychiatrists, and other experts, not just the technological and military worlds. We examine the infamous Roswell UAP crash and its possible connection to Nazi technology, the relationship between occultism, religion, mythology, and power, and the disturbing ties between occult ideas and Nazi Germany.

We also explore Levenda’s encounters with the “Men in Black,” including why he believes certain entities may not want him to have the information he possesses. He shares his own riveting UAP sighting and considers the strange possibility that his years of studying UFOs and occultism could somehow have played a role in summoning or conjuring the phenomenon.

Could intelligence agencies be studying (and potentially manipulating) UFO experiencers? Levenda explores theories involving the CIA, reverse-engineering the phenomenon, and the unsettling history of government experimentation on its own citizens, including MKUltra, Project Bluebird, and the Montreal “deep patterning” experiments involving memory manipulation and alleged false-memory implantation. We ask what consciousness manipulation might look like today, and how psychological operations, propaganda, and behavioral experimentation could influence what we believe without us recognizing it.
