Living Beyond the Brain: The Eternal Nature of Consciousness

The main question we'll be answering in this episode is: Is the brain the producer of consciousness or the receiver of it? To answer this question, we'll explore the two primary theories on consciousness—the reductionist or materialist model and the holographic, spiritualist, or non-local model. We'll then dive deep into the spiritualist model of consciousness and explore a specific, prevailing theory within the broader spiritualist take on consciousness. Namely the holographic model of consciousness. And how this model of consciousness easily solves the so-called 'unsolvable' mysteries of our time.*Note: Although hallucinogenic substances are referenced in this episode, I haven't used them myself and am not in any way suggesting you do so. However, I do recommend trying (only if it's safe for you to do so) holotropic breath work if you're interested in inducing an altered state of consciousness.SourcesRadin, D.
