Welcome to Classic Skeptic Metaphysicians! We're re-releasing some of our back catalog so that these gems can be re-discovered!This week: Travelers: A Spiritual Quest for Proof of the Metaphysical WorldWhat if the line between mental health, spiritual awakening, and non-ordinary reality is far thinner than we think? In this episode, we sit down with Donald Altman—psychotherapist, former Buddhist monk, internationally known mindfulness teacher, and award-winning author of Travelers: A Spiritual Quest for Healing.Altman has spent decades at the intersection of consciousness, mindfulness, and the mysteries that modern psychiatry can't explain. His new novel isn't just a story—it's a guided initiation into the deeper layers of the self: grief, fear, synchronicity, healing, and the unseen forces shaping our lives. Altman doesn't come to this conversation with vague spirituality or soft-focus platitudes. He brings lived experience, clinical insight, and firsthand encounters with the “impossible” — including a real-life synchronicity mirroring the events in his novel down to the injuries he described months before they happened. This is the kind of conversation that forces you to reevaluate what's real, what's possible, and what the human mind is truly capable of. In This Episode, We Explore: ✔ The real difference between mindfulness and meditation Why one trains focus, while the other trains perception — and why confusing them sabotages your inner work. ✔ Emotional eating, distraction culture, and why most of us are terrified of presence Altman's brutally honest account of using food to numb emotions… and the monastery moment that changed everything. ✔ A psychotherapist's take on spiritual awakenings vs. schizophrenia Where the line really is, what most people get wrong, and why some awakenings mimic mental illness. ✔ Quantum consciousness, astral experiences, and non-local events Including the stunning moment Altman lived out a scene from his own book — in a place he had never visited before writing it. ✔ How fear blocks intuition, spiritual growth, and authentic manifestation And why stepping into the unknown is the true doorway to transformation. ✔ The healing power of story, symbolism, and myth Travelers isn't entertainment — it's a mirror, a catalyst, and an invitation to confront the parts of yourself you've avoided. ✔ Mental health through a spiritual lens Mindfulness techniques, energetic awareness, and presence-based practices that help reduce anxiety, depression, and emotional overwhelm. Why This Episode Matters Because your awakening doesn't happen in meditation apps. It happens in the moments you'd rather avoid: fear, grief, confusion, uncertainty, longing. Altman shows how spiritual growth and psychological healing aren't separate journeys — they're the same road. And Travelers might just be the companion guide you didn't know you needed. Who This Episode Is ForAnyone navigating a spiritual awakeningSeekers exploring modern spirituality without bypassing realityListeners curious about manifestation, consciousness, or intuition developmentThose healing grief, loss, or emotional traumaAnyone fascinated by the edges of science and mysticism — quantum consciousness, synchronicity, and non-ordinary experienceReaders who loved The Celestine Prophecy, Way of the Peaceful Warrior, or The AlchemistLinks & ResourcesDonald Altman's books & blog: MindfulPractices.comHis Psychology Today column: Practical MindfulnessMeditation community: Facebook.com/mindfulpracticesSubscribe, Rate & Review!

I mean, you're looking at somebody who can be a class a jerk from time to time. And so I am mindful of how my quick words or snotty snide remarks might affect someone. That can hold me back. Thoughts on Breathing On the topic of breathing, In the book, I quote the work of Dr. Sharon Melnick, Ph.D. She's a clinical psychologist on the topic of resilience. Dr. Melnick talks about breathing techniques, as does Donald Altman, whom I also quote. So breathing from the diaphragm is important. But when you are speaking, do what opera singers do; breathe from your diaphragm, so you're more filled with air. When we do this deep breathing thing, we are becoming more physically centered, and I like to think that we're also emotionally centered that way too, Bruce.

He talked about the harmful impact of a “Bully Boss” who denigrates others and lacks empathy. Mindfulness, he believes, is essential in coaching to create self-awareness and encourage personal growth. While it might not work with sociopaths, helping others adopt a different perspective can address bullying behavior. Being mindful allows us to recognize our imperfections and strive to improve for a better future. Words of Wisdom Look for the good in others. Try to look for virtues.
