What is consciousness? What is the relationship between the brain and our conscious awareness?  For help answering these questions we turned to this episode’s guest, fellow podcaster and best selling author Mark Gober.  In this episode, Mark shares his research on the mind/body problem, psychic experience, as well as the nuts and bolts of spiritual awakening.

Key takeaways:

**Mark shares his incredible journey from Silicon Valley executive to best selling spiritual author.  

**What is the mind/body problem?

**Why consciousness is the fundamental aspect of reality, not the material and how our brains act as filters of conscious awareness, rather than as the creator of consciousness. 

**We are here on earth to expand our level of consciousness. The ups and downs we go through in life are part of that greater evolutionary process.

**The awakening journey has overarching themes, but the specifics of how we experience the process is different for each of us. 

**People can cling on to old paradigms and ways of understanding the world, because we are more comfortable with what is known and familiar. 

**As you become more conscious and raise your vibration, it can initially be difficult to sustain.  As you experience these elevated states more and more, it becomes easier and more natural to maintain a higher frequency.
