Today it's just Tom and Jordan, bromancing their way along a philosophical journey through reincarnation, the nature of consciousness, and what life might lie beyond this mortal coil.

Normally, we like to cover some headlines, but with Mal unable to join us this week, and considering the pretty big personal headline for Jordan (another baby!), we decided to forgo the typical format, and instead spend some quality time on the eternal questions of existence, rebirth, and unconditional love.

Episode Highlights:

* The birth of Jordan’s third kid — Sylas — nine days old at the time of this recording

* Tom suggest's a discussion on “the transmigration of souls"

* Jordan’s confidence in the "cosmopolitan nature of life" that awaits us beyond our physical experience

* Tom is convinced reincarnation is real, referencing research from a Virginia professor who documented compelling cases of children with detailed memories of past lives

* The story of Tom's daughter Evelyn making a Buddhist-like hand gesture as an infant

* Tom believes he knows who he was in a previous life and plans to visit England to "reconnect" with this past identity

* Jordan explores whether memories of past lives might actually be a form of telepathic connection to the Akashic record rather than literal reincarnation

* By the way, what even is the Akashic record?

* The world is a school

* Overlap between Christianity and Buddhism, with a reference to CS Lewis's dimensional metaphor in "Mere Christianity"

* How having a baby reminds us that we are all God's babies

* Unconditional love is the birthright of every human being. It cannot be lost.

We’ll be back next week with the whole team, and no more baby talk. (Well, less anyway.)
