Welcome to the Human Experience Podcast, where we ask the big questions: Are we just meat puppets with WiFi, or is consciousness beaming in from the cosmic cloud? Host Xavier Katana and guest Mark Gober ditch the nine-to-five matrix, swap stories of psychic kids and near-death plot twists, and wonder if the universe is less ‘random chaos’ and more ‘divine group chat.’ Spoiler: Enlightenment may just mean remembering to chop wood, carry water, and occasionally check for aliens behind the owls.

Join Xavier Katana as he delves into the mysteries of consciousness with Dr. Marjorie Woolcott, a neuroscientist, professor, and author of 'Infinite Awareness.'
