Spark My Muse

Today, I round out the last episode of 2017 with my friend Gene Stevenson.

In this fun conversation we cover the awesomely nerdy job Gene has, then we get into the stuff of story:

wealthy ghosts, outcasts, time travel, human agency, sacrifice, and some of the most captivating elements that made us devotees of two streamable-Original Series from Netflix known as - "Stranger Things" and "DARK". What keeps us watching and what can these themes call out from us in our day-to-day lives? Don't fret -- We give out no spoilers!

You might be interested in the Bonus Features for this episode too. There are with extras, (like a chart of Winona Ryder’s award-night expressions among lots of other goodies.

Each week you get more in-depth info, key links to things we’ve mentioned, and useful Reflection Questions that are FREE when you support the show at a tiny amount. Access the ones for this episode now righthere..

Some Bonus Features from past episodes are released to the public for free after a few weeks. See what's available for FREE (look in the right hand column) here.

Get to the Official Spark My Muse Website right here. There is plenty to read, watch, and listen to.

While you are there, you can connect with or get more information about your host, Lisa DeLay. Or, visit the Spark Store ---for nifty t-shirts, hats, socks, and more--- and get in on the newsletter/update list (which gets you a coupon code for the Spark Store too).

May you enjoy the episode and thank you for sharing this program with others as you are able.

Neurosurgeon, Dr Eben Alexander was a staunch materialist until his seven day coma (with no brain activity) and a Near Death Experience (NDE). He was given only a 2% chance of survival and no serious chance of a full recovery. He wrote about this incredible period in his life in his best-selling book "Proof of Heaven".

Today, we talk about his NDE, but also about the themes in his fascinating newest book, co-written with his partner Karen Newell, "Living in a Mindful Universe: A Neurosurgeon's Journey Into the Heart of Consciousness”:

- Brain Filter Theory

- Conscious Awareness and Brain States

- Placebo Effect and Healing

- The Mental Universe

- The Measurement Paradox

- Prayer

- Memory and Consciousness and the Brain

- Acoustics such as binaural beats that create hypnogogic states and those benefits

- and much more.

Bonus Features with show notes, links, Reflection Questions, and plenty of extras for this episode are FREE to all patron supporters of the show. Support NOW and access those here.. To find out when these show notes will be released FREE-TO-THE-PUBLIC go here.
