032 • Pete Smith • Does Our Consciousness Control Reality?

Pete Smith is a consciousness researcher who left corporate life to explore quantum physics and spirituality, joins me from Cairns, Australia, to unravel the mysteries of our existence. Inspired by a striking resemblance to his great-grandfather, Pete began investigating reincarnation, past-life regression, and Michael Newton’s Life Between Lives work, which he’s helped lead for a decade. We discuss how consciousness might be the ocean we swim in, with our awareness steering us through, and how quantum physics—like the observer effect—suggests our thoughts shape reality. Pete shares his view that we’re multidimensional beings in human disguises, choosing lives to contribute to a collective shift, while I wrestle with whether these ideas echo our childhood joys or something deeper.
