Exploring the convergence of science and spirituality via theoretical physics, consciousness, complexity, information, and philosophy.

My name is Jared Bond, and thank you for joining me on this epic journey. I have dedicated my life to decoding these ontological mysteries, as I believe science is now catching up to what ancient wisdom traditions have been claiming for millennia. It is my goal to distribute this paradigm-shifting knowledge to the lay person in a digestible way, so that everyone can take part in the current scientific revolution and discover their ultimate purpose.

Ancient Wisdom vs. Modern Neuroscience: What the Mind Really Is | James Cooke, PhD

In this conversation, Dr. James Cooke shares his insights on consciousness, drawing from his personal awakening experience and neuroscience background. He discusses the concept of non-duality, the relational nature of reality, and the role of the brain and body in consciousness. Dr. Cooke critiques dualistic perspectives and emphasizes that consciousness is a fundamental property of life, arising from the interactions between organisms and their environments. He further contrasts his view from the extremes of idealism/panpsychism and physicalism/reductionism, and asserts a non-dual, naturalistic understanding as the "middle way".

We also delve into the intricate relationship between consciousness, object perception, and the interconnectedness of existence. Our dialogue transitions into spirituality, examining the nature of meaning and purpose in life, the nature of formless awareness, and concludes with reflections on karma and reincarnation, questioning the underlying principles that govern existence.
