E142 - Merging Science & Ancient Wisdom ...

André Duqum
About this episode

In a time of seemingly growing division on the planet, what if the most unifying truth is one both sages and scientists agree on: that we’re inseparable on the most fundamental level?


In today’s special compilation episode, we weave together the voices of some of the world’s most thoughtful explorers of consciousness: from neuroscientists and physicists to mystics and sages, to examine the illusion of the separate self, the mystery of awareness, and what becomes possible when we remember our true nature.
