A New Way of Being

The Merging of Science and Spirituality | Donald Hoffman & Rupert Spira


Listen Later

In this episode, I sit down with Rupert Spira and Don Hoffman — two people at the leading edge of exploring consciousness and reality — to unpack some of the biggest questions we can ask.

We talk about why space-time might not be fundamental, whether matter is even “real,” and how consciousness could be the ground of everything.

This conversation explores where science, philosophy and spirituality meet — and asks whether modern physics is finally catching up with what the great contemplative traditions have pointed to all along.

Highlights include:

  • Why space and time might be illusions

  • The limits of trying to explain consciousness through the brain

  • What maths might reveal about the nature of reality

  • Whether our senses are showing us the world as it really is — or not at all

Guests:

  • Rupert Spira – Philosopher and spiritual teacher

  • Don Hoffman – Cognitive scientist and author of The Case Against Reality

This one goes deep — but it’s well worth the ride.
