What does it really mean to be?

This week on The Skeptic Metaphysicians, we plunge headfirst into the cosmic rabbit hole with Dr. Val Rytova, a brilliant behavioral neuroscientist who fuses science and spirituality like it’s nobody’s business.
 
She’s got degrees in neuroscience, immunology, and anthropology, but don’t let the academic chops fool you—Dr. Val is here to talk about the metaphysical study of existence itself: Ontology.

From rewiring the brain and changing our DNA expression to navigating fear, awakening consciousness, and dancing with the mysteries of Being (with a capital B), this episode is the ultimate intersection of science, soul, and the slippery nature of time.

💥You’ll discover:

• What ontology really is—and why it matters for your spiritual path
• How neuroplasticity can reprogram fear, anxiety, and even catalyze spiritual awakenings
• Whether you can access past lives, parallel timelines, and higher dimensions (yes, really)
• How to make personal transformation stick using brain science
• Why conversations (yes, even awkward ones) might be the secret sauce of enlightenment

If you’ve ever stared at the stars while questioning your lactose intolerance—or just want to know who the heck you are and why you’re here—this episode is for you.
 
🧠🎧 Listen now and redefine what it means to BE.
