Welcome to the Further Reaches podcast where our host Caz Tanner seeks to understand what lies beyond the edge of our current understanding about consciousness, the constructs of reality, and how we can build a better world. Through a collection of conversations with visionaries, academics, and everyday people forging positive change, Caz explores how these individuals are pushing boundaries, challenging the status quo, investigating the profound mysteries of human existence, and radically rethinking what it means for us to thrive as individuals and as a collective on earth.

Synchronicity or Coincidence? The Nature of Reality – with Bethany Butzer, Ph.D

What is synchronicity and is there more to it than just coincidence? Bethany Butzer discusses her research, including potential explanations for how synchronicities work, beyond them being due to random chance. Could synchronicities point toward the fundamental nature of consciousness? Do they reveal the interconnectedness that underlies everything?

We also discuss Bethany's research into bias in the scientific community towards parapsychology research (aka anomalous cognition), which includes phenomena such as extra sensory perception (ESP), telepathy, precognition, and psychokinesis, which is manipulating something with the power of the mind.
