The Power of The Mind with Susan Blackmore

Susan Blackmore brings us through a rabbit hole of psychedelics, over the bridge of paranormal phenomena, and through the tunnel of memes side by side with the origin of language, including a sidekick of stories that tie it all together. This conversation delves into human behavior, featuring two psychotherapists with differing perspectives on archetypes, yet finding common ground in mystical experiences and the placebo effect. With unfiltered charm, Susan Blackmore adds a delightful and synchronistic touch to this engaging discussion.Susan Blackmore:https://www.susanblackmore.uk/Dr. Brian Tierney:https://somaticdoctor.com/━━━━━━━━━━━━━🙏 SUPPORT THE SHOWIf this episode resonated with you:✅ LIKE this video📤 SHARE it with someone who needs to hear it🔔 SUBSCRIBE for more conversations on mental health, psychology, and healingYour support helps us keep these important conversations alive.--------------Chapters00:00 Introduction to Susan Blackmore03:07 Exploring the Power of Memes and Memeplexes09:20 The Influence of Religion as a Memeplex26:14 The Origins of Language and Imitation36:50 The Collective Experience of Tingles and Awe38:16 From Paranormal Beliefs to a Naturalistic Understanding of Consciousness46:58 Challenges in Replicating Paranormal Phenomena53:23 The Power of the Placebo Effect and Synchronicity01:00:39 Psychedelics: Disrupting Habitual Thinking and the Default Mode Network--------------------HASHTAGS#SusanBlackmore #DrBrianTierney #Psychedelics #Paranormal #MemeTheory #Consciousness #OriginOfLanguage #Memeplex #PlaceboEffect #Synchronicity #MysticalExperiences #HumanBehavior #CognitiveScience #PsychologyPodcast #Archetypes #DefaultModeNetwork #PsychedelicResearch #ImitationAndCulture #CollectiveAwe #MindAndConsciousness #Psychotherapy #ParanormalPhenomena #TinglesAndAwe #SomaticDoctor #EvolutionOfConsciousness #PodcastInterview
