A question that has survived empires.Wars.Religions.Scientific revolutions.Technological revolutions.The rise and fall of civilizations.And despite thousands of years of human thought...it remains unanswered.What does it mean to live a good life?

The Octopus of Global Control is a controversial, nonfiction book detailing how those in positions of power are able to manipulate society for their benefit, why they believe that they are entitled to impose their warped world view of reality on mankind, and how we can break free from their grip.The eight tentacles of control that are wrapped around humanity are the Military, Governmental, Covert, Physical, Financial, Media, Spiritual, and Scientific. The book tackles topics such as uncovering the Deep State, false flag terror events, the media's role in manufacturing wars, the 9/11 deception, the fraud of central banking, our broken education system, the use of religion to shape society, and the corrupted medical industry.The Octopus of Global Control footnotes these important events by featuring quotes and first-hand observations from over 500 witnesses and participants that were involved in the most important events in our history. Their words add context and help to paint the picture of these historic events by explaining who these people were, what they said, why it matters, and what actually happened.The author, Charlie Robinson, accomplishes the seemingly impossible task of blending the seriousness of these topics, and the respect they deserve, with dark humor, sarcasm and wit, that allow the reader to laugh at the preposterous while grasping the importance of these lessons. https://amzn.to/4bJyCknBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

Raising Nature Lovers: Why Every Child Needs a Bird Book  Christopher Robbins hosts a conversation with Zev Labinger, a visual artist, musician, and ecologist, about the newly published book "Hear Them Sing: Songs and Calls from North American Birds." Labinger, who immigrated to Israel in 1986 driven by his passion for ornithology, shares how his lifelong fascination with birds—beginning in fifth grade—shaped his career as both a wildlife biologist and accomplished nature artist. The episode explores the intersection of art and science, examining how drawing and observation deepen understanding of the natural world, and discusses the transformative power of bird books in inspiring children to appreciate and explore nature.  Episode Highlights  00:02:15: Zev's origin story—how a fifth-grade teacher's bird group inspired him to draw birds on index cards, launching a lifelong passion that ultimately led him to Israel.  00:05:30: The revelation that birds are modern-day dinosaurs, connecting childhood fascination with dinosaurs to contemporary ornithological understanding of avian evolution.  00:08:45: Zev's discovery of painting bird eggs for the book—a new artistic challenge that revealed unexpected diversity in egg shapes, colors, and sizes across North American species.  00:12:20: Scientific explanation of egg coloration: cavity-nesting birds have white eggs (no camouflage needed), while ground-nesting birds have speckled eggs for protection, though robin's egg blue remains somewhat mysterious.  00:18:30: The distinction between illustration and art—illustrators plan precisely before execution, while artists search and evolve throughout the creative process, discovering meaning as they work.  00:22:45: Zev's childhood relationship with bird books as a "lifeline" before digital media, particularly the illustrated works of Roger Tory Peterson and Arthur Singer.  00:28:15: The emotional impact of seeing children worldwide enjoying the book through social media, described as "one of the greatest feelings you can have."  Key Takeaways  Drawing and careful observation force deeper understanding—to accurately depict something, you must understand its three-dimensional form, function, and details in ways that passive viewing cannot achieve.  Bird books serve as gateways to nature appreciation; they create bidirectional connections where children recognize birds from books in nature and later identify real birds through illustrated references.  The creative process differs fundamentally between illustration (predetermined execution) and fine art (exploratory discovery), though both require mastery and can coexist in an artist's practice.  Nature study through art reveals ongoing mysteries—even experts cannot fully explain phenomena like robin's egg coloration, preserving wonder and inviting continued investigation.  Sharing creative work with the world, particularly when it inspires children to engage with nature, provides profound fulfillment that extends beyond personal artistic satisfaction.  Quotable Moments  "It's all about the birds. It's all about the birds, yeah. It's been a major part of my life."  "To draw it, you have to really understand. You have to understand it in three dimensions. You have to understand everything, what all the pieces are in there."  "An illustrator figures out exactly what they're going to do before they do it and they execute it exactly like they want it. And an artist is searching all the time."  "Books were a lifeline, you know, especially as a kid... when I had my bar mitzvah at 13, almost everybody gave me bird books." "I think birds can be like a stepping off place to just appreciating nature and wanting to go out and see nature."  "The thought that there's all these children around the world now that are looking through and getting excited or enjoying the book... is probably one of the greatest feelings you can have, I think."

I participated in another Socratic Debate about the Future of "AI" and XR at Augmented World Expo 2026 with Leslie Shannon, Alvin Graylin, and Louis Rosenberg (you can listen to last year's debate in episode #1611). Shannon and Graylin argued for "AI," whilst Rosenberg and I argued against "AI." In my write-up, I wanted to leave some breadcrumbs to more in-depth, skeptical arguments against "AI" that we didn't have space or time to dig into during the debate, but "some breadcrumbs" ended up being over 30k words, and more like an outline for an entire book. Writing a book isn't on my to-do list at the moment, but disseminating the work researchers, journalists, linguists, and critics of "AI" have done is urgent and necessary, so I'm sharing the results of this deep dive here, in bullet list format. My fellow panelists, Alvin Graylin and Louis Rosenberg, indulged me in extending our debate offline after AWE, pushing me to test my ideas further and demonstrating how and why this is an extremely active field of study with polarizing points of view that often come down to philosophical differences. Clearly, it's just getting started. My objections to "AI" is loosely organized by various themes, but some framing may be helpful in approaching it. My objections to "AI" center around the limitations of LLMs, the consolidation of wealth and power from Hyperscaler companies, and threats from automated decision making systems and surveillance capitalism melded with democratically-backsliding authoritarian governments. I'm including a broad range of critiques spanning the domains of philosophy, technology, sociology, politics, economics, culture, and ethics. I'm coming from the orientation of Process Philosophy & Peircean Semiotics that emphasizes the relational and contextual dimensions that the "AI" field tends to de-emphasize or completely collapse. I see process-relational philosophy as a necessary paradigm shift away from the underpinning philosophies of the "AI" community, which tend to be Functionalism, Naturalism, Computational Theory of Mind, Physicalism, & the TESCREAL bundle. Below you'll find my own process philosophical emergency response to "AI embedded within my curation of excerpts and commentary of primary sources that I'm leaning upon. The AI Con: How to Fight Big Tech's Hype and Create the Future We Want (2025) by Emily M. Bender and Alex Hanna (also see episode #1563). Bender & Hanna say, "To put it bluntly, 'AI' is a marketing term. It doesn't refer to a coherent set of technologies. Instead, the phrase "artificial intelligence" is deployed when the people building or selling a particular set of technologies will profit from getting others to believe that their technology is similar to humans, able to do things that, in fact, intrinsically require human judgment, perception, or creativity." Emily M. Bender wrote the "Artificial Intelligence" [preprint] (2026, June 25) entry for the Oxford Research Encyclopedia of Science, Technology, and Society. Bender's concluding paragraph gives a great overview of the seven different ways that the idea of "artificial intelligence" operates in the world. She says, "The notion of artificial intelligence is frequently sold as present or near-future and inevitable technology. In fact there is no coherent set of technologies that can serve as the denotation of the phrase, nor do any of the technologies so marketed rise to the fantastical but ill-defined claims of 'AI' is or soon will be. Nonetheless, the idea of artificial intelligence has been extremely impactful in the world. In order to better understand and deal with those impacts, it is helpful to look at artificial intelligence through the varied lenses of how the idea operates in the world: as the name of a research field, as one approach to cognitive science, as a parlor trick, as a an ideology, as a way to hide and devalue human labor, as a way to shift and/or obfuscate accountability, and as a means to centralize power." Inventing Intelligence: On the History of Complex Information Processing and Artificial Intelligence in the United States in the Mid-Twentieth Century [dissertation] (2020, December 14) by Jonnie Penn. Penn says, "The phrase ‘artificial intelligence' was coined by John McCarthy, an American mathematician, in 1955. It has travelled with a noticeably amorphous definition since." "AI" has always had a spotty history of technologists using a "brain is a computer" metaphor while also using "poor citation practices." From page 14, Penn says, "The vocabulary Simon, Rosenblatt, McCarthy and Minsky chose to describe new techniques in major newspapers and scholarly journals informed Americans' still plastic understandings of what was possible, and indeed desirable, in the emerging information age… During the mid to late 1950s, these men turned to clannishness, self-aggrandizement, speculative rhetoric, fluid definitions of key terms and poor citation practices to shore up legitimacy for their controversial new techniques — actions that drew attention toward questions of how to accomplish such aims and away from whether they were well founded." Part II: Remembering the Human Microcosm in the Age of Mechanized Intelligence: Philosophy as Emergency Response (2026, June 9) by Matt Segall. In a multi-part Substack series, process philosopher Matt Segall calls for a philosophical emergency response to "AI." He says, "In each case a new media technology intended to expand the power of thought ended up transforming the very nature of the thinker who invented it. Each new medium furnishes the very terms in which we come to understand ourselves. This is why the philosophical response is always an emergency response: by the time anyone has noticed what is happening, what may be lost and what gained, the mutation has already done half of its work." Segall warns about the computational metaphor of the mind by saying, "The large language model now tempts us to adopt an even stranger self-image: that human minds are no different than machines, our thoughts just the statistical echoes of our training data. The creators of this latest technological upgrade are encouraging us to downgrade our estimate of human consciousness, thus narrowing the distance between ourselves and the machines built to imitate us." "Resisting Dehumanization in the Age of 'AI': The View from the Humanities" [lecture] (2026, February 10) by Emily M. Bender. Here are the lecture slides with a bibliography at the end. Bender does an amazing overview of how the marketing of "AI" uses pernicious dehumanization tactics built on an underlying "brain is a computer metaphor." From page 15 of her talk: "Scientific metaphor used and debated in neuroscience: "THE BRAIN IS A COMPUTER. "PR metaphor used by technologists: "THE COMPUTER IS A BRAIN" Bender cites Baria & Cross' paper titled "The brain is a computer is a brain: neuroscience's internal debate and the social significance of the Computational Metaphor (2021), which says “the Computational Metaphor rests on other well-ingrained ideologies in which a hierarchy of human value is tied to a particular notion of intelligence such that the quality of being emotional is considered inferior to being rational." Bender also cites Dijkstra's 1985 lecture "On anthropomorphism in science": "A more serious byproduct of the tendency to talk about machines in anthropomorphic terms is the companion phenomenon of talking about people in mechanistic terminology." Here are a couple of examples of how "AI" Hyperscaler companies like OpenAI use dehumanizing tactics to sell us on "AI" Hype. Sam Altman will say things like, "A kid born today will never be smarter than AI. Ever." Or another example is when Altman says, "For me, AGI is basically the equivalent of a median human that you could hire as a co-worker... And then Superintelligence is when it's smarter than all of humanity put together." These statements collapse the human experience into one dimension of "intelligence," which amplifies the dual harm of treating machines more like humans and treating humans more like machines. It is also questionable the degree to which this statement is even true given the potential non-computational aspects of "relevance realization." More on this down below. Part IV: Remembering the Human Microcosm in the Age of Mechanized Intelligence: Hegel's Loom and the Difference Reason Makes (2026, June 10) by Matt Segall. Segall brilliantly breaks down the "Brain is a Computer Metaphor" by saying, "Metaphor is not just a shiny paint job on the vehicle of cognition. It is the engine of thought. Its coupling of concepts drives the limits of conceivability, shaping what is thought together and what is not thought at all. The metaphorical imagination is our main means of tuning in to the otherwise invisible effects of new media technologies. Part of the discipline philosophy brings is allowing us to notice an analogy as an analogy before advertising crystalizes it into the unnoticed transparency of common sense. A fact is a fact, but it might also be a fossilized metaphor. The governing analogy of our age is that cognition is computation: the brain an information-processing device, perception its input and behavior its output, memory a form of physical storage, learning the adjustment of weights, and intelligence an algorithm for minimizing error or surprisal. On this view, given enough training data and computational power, consciousness itself will eventually be engineered… The metaphor “the mind is a computer,” for example, tacitly proposes that mind is to brain as software is to hardware… Reiterated in textbooks and earnings calls, in grant applications and policy briefs, the partial comparison congeals into an ontology, until we find ourselves insisting not that the mind is like a computer in some respects but that it simply is one — and,...

Attorney-client privilege protects confidential communications for legal advice, but not underlying facts, and may be lost through waiver or the crime-fraud exception. Work product protects materials prepared in anticipation of litigation, especially opinion work product. Marital privileges, psychotherapist-patient privilege, clergy privilege, government privileges, informant privilege, and self-incrimination protections may also apply.Authentication requires evidence sufficient to support a finding that the item is what the proponent claims. Methods include witness testimony, distinctive characteristics, handwriting, voice identification, chain of custody, public records, system evidence, and digital metadata. Self-authenticating documents require no extrinsic authenticity proof but may still raise other objections.The original-writing rule applies when a party seeks to prove the content of a writing, recording, or photograph. Originals are generally required, duplicates are usually acceptable, and secondary evidence may be allowed when originals are unavailable without bad faith or for other recognized reasons.Real evidence is the actual physical item involved in the case. Demonstrative evidence illustrates testimony or admitted proof. Illustrative aids help the factfinder understand evidence or argument but must be controlled to avoid confusion or unfair prejudice.Scientific and technical proof often requires expert foundation and reliability screening. Digital evidence requires special attention to authorship, integrity, metadata, screenshots, system reliability, hearsay, and best-evidence concerns. AI-generated evidence and deepfakes make authentication and reliability especially important.The central lesson is foundation. Evidence does not become admissible merely because it is useful or dramatic. The proponent must show that the item is genuine, legally usable, properly supported, and not barred by privilege, policy, or reliability rules.

The Cobalamin is the gateway brain vitamin. Since B12 plays a role in so many foundational processes that power our minds and bodies, people should begin their Biohacking by ensuring they are getting enough of the B vitamins before diving into hardcore Nootropic or pharmaceutical solutions.Being the "King of B Vitamins," there's an abundance of research done on it; over 8000 articles of relevant research are published on PubMed, and over 700 human clinical trials in this century alone.

How do you engage effectively across deep disagreement without shutting down the conversation?This week on If/Then, we're sharing an episode from our colleagues at Stanford Legal, the podcast from Stanford Law School that looks at the cases, questions, and conflicts shaping public life.In a world where confidence is rewarded and humility can feel like a liability, Stanford Law professor Robert MacCoun argues for something radical: fewer unwavering opinions, more critical reflection, and a better way to disagree. On Stanford Legal, MacCoun joins co-hosts Pam Karlan and Diego Zambrano for a conversation about how “habits of mind” borrowed from science can help citizens, lawyers, and policymakers think more clearly, listen more carefully, and build better public debate around difficult questions that don't have easy answers.Trained as a social psychologist, MacCoun's work sits at the intersection of law, science, and public policy, with decades of research on decision-making, bias, and the social dynamics that shape how evidence is interpreted. In the episode, he draws on his most recent book, Third Millennium Thinking: Creating Sense in a World of Nonsense, co-authored with Nobel Prize–winning physicist Saul Perlmutter and philosopher John Campbell, to explain why probabilistic thinking, intellectual humility, and what he calls an “opinion diet” are essential tools for modern civic life.Related Content:Robert MacCoun faculty profileThird Millenium ThinkingStanford Legal PodcastChapters:00:00:00 Introduction00:01:23 The course, the book, & what motivated it00:04:06 Habits of mind for better decision-making00:06:20 Probabilistic thinking and intellectual humility00:09:57 An “opinion diet”00:12:16 Reasonable doubt, community, & collective judgment00:14:13 Scientific optimism and the problem of cynicism00:17:31 Why trust in science has eroded00:20:10 Law, science, & the value of procedure00:22:50 Steel-manning the other side00:24:58 Public policy as provisional problem-solving00:30:07 Deliberative democracy and informed public debate00:32:03 ConclusionSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Send us Fan MailPhoto: Orin Langelle / Global Justice Ecology ProjectUNESCO is the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization.  It is tasked with the promotion of global peace and security through international cooperation in education, science, culture, and information.Yet recent reporting by Survival International focuses on how UNESCO has used its influence to support the forced relocation of the Indigenous Maasai People from their ancestral land in Tanzania.We talk with Survival International researcher Paul Renaut about the model of “fortress conservation,” that is driving forced evictions of Maasai people in Tanzania and how the UNESCO World Heritage status is amplifying that pressure. We trace what these forced relocations look like on the ground, who profits, and why Indigenous land rights are central to real biodiversity protection.In the episode we discuss:• Survival International's campaign to decolonize conservation and expose human rights abuses committed in the name of nature protection• How the “empty nature” myth frames Indigenous people as threats despite long-term stewardship• Violence linked to protected areas including beatings, torture, rape, and armed repression by ranger forces funded by major conservation groups• Maasai displacement history from Serengeti and the ongoing threat across Maasai land tied to tourism and trophy hunting• UNESCO's role through World Heritage designations, “population pressure” language, and legitimizing forced relocation narratives• What “voluntary relocation” can mean in practice including cattle confiscation, arrests, and suspension of vital services• Scientific and cultural arguments for pastoralism as a biodiversity-positive land management system• How carbon credits and offset thinking can shift environmental burdens onto Indigenous communities• Maasai-led resistance through legal work, organizing, mass protests, and direct engagement with international institutionsIf you're enjoying this episode of Breaking Green, please subscribe or follow wherever you get your podcasts.

Tara Isabella Burton (DPhil, University of Oxford; Visiting Fellow, Mercatus Center, George Mason University; Visiting Research Fellow, Institutional Flourishing Lab, Catholic University of America) is a theologian and culture critic, and the author of Self-Made: Creating Our Identities from Da Vinci to the Kardashians (Public Affairs, 2022) and Strange Rites: New Religions for a Godless World (Public Affairs, 2020). She is a regular contributor on religion and culture to The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, and has lectured and taught seminars at Yale University, Hobart and William Smith College, Radford University, and Covenant College. Her research has been supported by the Mercatus Center and the Robert Novak Foundation. Burton is currently at work on a book about the influence of the Western esoteric tradition, from alchemy to Freemasonry to 19th-century "occult" practices like Theosophy and spiritualism, in the development of what we think of today as "scientific progress." She argues that the category of the "magical" should be understood as part of a wider theological tradition of understanding what it means for human beings to have mastery over nature. Old Gods, to be published by Convergent (Penguin Random House) in 2026, will trace this influence to the resurgence of interest in "occult" practices in contemporary Silicon Valley culture.  Visit Sacred Writes: https://www.sacred-writes.org/templeton-working-group Visit Tara Isabella Burton: http://www.taraisabellaburton.com  

Interview with Raymond Ashley, President and COO, F3 Uranium Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/f3-uranium-corp-tsxvfuu-resource-milestone-growth-drilling-ma-discussions-9473Recording date: 27th June 2026F3 Uranium is advancing exploration at its Patterson Lake North (PLN) project in Saskatchewan's Athabasca Basin, combining an established high-grade resource with a discovery that could reshape regional exploration models. The company's JR Zone, discovered in 2022, hosts an estimated 11.8 million pounds of uranium at 4.41% U3O8, with a particularly rich core of 10.8 million pounds grading 12.23%. This places it among the higher-grade uranium resources globally and confirms PLN as a meaningful asset in a district known for world-class deposits.More recently, the Tetra Zone discovery has challenged a long-standing assumption in Athabasca exploration—that economic uranium deposits require graphite- and sulfide-bearing conductive structures. Tetra contains high-grade uranium despite lacking these features, demonstrating that mineralization can occur in previously overlooked geological settings. This finding significantly expands the exploration potential of PLN, particularly within the Clearwater domain, an area historically ignored due to the absence of electromagnetic conductors.Scientific analysis shows that both JR and Tetra share identical uranium ages, mineralogy, and alteration signatures, indicating they formed from the same large-scale hydrothermal system despite being 13 kilometres apart. This suggests the mineralizing system extends across a much broader area than previously recognized.To adapt, F3 is testing resistivity surveying as an alternative targeting method, supported by geochemical and gravity data. A 4,000-metre drill program beginning in July 2026 will test multiple new targets across the property. Backed by approximately $23 million in funding through 2027, the company is positioned to sustain aggressive exploration.Strategically, PLN lies about 25 kilometres from planned milling infrastructure at Arrow and Triple R, potentially allowing future deposits to serve as satellite feed. This proximity lowers development thresholds and enhances the project's attractiveness to potential partners amid growing global demand for nuclear energy.Learn more: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/f3-uranium-corpSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

How do you know when you can trust an herbalism teacher, influencer, book, or blog? How can you determine whether a scientific study has relevant information for your practice? Vetting your herbalism sources of information is an essential skill for students and practitioners alike.Today's episode, we lay out some red flags and green flags for this determination. These are indicators that you should be more cautious or skeptical on the one hand, or on the other hand that you can feel more trust in what you're told. They're not absolutes – no one data point is determinative – but they can help you more swiftly come to a decision.You can absolutely learn from teachers with flaws. In fact, you'll have to! We all have them. Still, if someone is out there telling you “this herb is Amish ibuprofen” or “this herb is nature's Ozempic”, those are strong signals that this person isn't interested in a grounded, nuanced, and detailed understanding of how herbs work in humans. Similar signals come from statements like “these are the lost secrets of ancient wisdom”, “everyone needs to take this one special herb”, and “the government & big pharma don't want you to know…” Each of these might begin from a truth or half-truth, but they obscure true history, individual variation, and the actual causes of over-medicalization in our society. Those who pass them on uncritically, or use them to gin up likes & follows, are doing you – and all herbalists – a disservice.Green flags for an herbal ‘authority' include clarity of context: “this herb is helpful here, for these people, for these problems; but not there, for those, or that.” This context can include elements such as energetic indications, action-centered (as opposed to disease-centered) claims about herbal efficacy, realistic consideration of contraindications or drug interactions, and a lot of specificity about format, dose, frequency, duration, and the other practical elements of how people work with herbs in the real world. The more of these you see a person offer, the more reliable you may judge their information to be.Scientific articles about herbs – and even moreso, popular press publications about those articles – carry red flags and green flags, too. The first step is always to assess whether a study, trial, or review article tells you anything which really applies to the work you do. If it's billed as an investigation into calamus safety, but it's actually a study of a single constituent of calamus essential oil, injected into mice at doses one could literally never encounter via eating calamus root, drinking its decoction, or taking its tincture – well, that's interesting, but it doesn't have any practical impact on whether you include calamus in a formula for your client.The basics of reading & understanding scientific studies come forward here. Is it on general populations, or a specific group of people (children, elders, those with a particular disease state)? Is it an actual trial on humans, or an animal study – or an in vitro / in silico investigation? If it's a review article, how did they select which sources to include and exclude?All that is true even before we get into the issue of AI articles and AI citations, but when you see those it's one of the reddest red flags of all. Even without the influence of AI, basic science errors (like mismatch between the botanical and common names of plants under study) can pop up. Then there are issues of funding, conflicts of interest, and the scourge of selective publication. Green flags, on the other hand, rise up when we find a study which includes traditional syndrome differentiations – the application of herbal energetics in the selection / review process of the trial. When a study's done on a ‘crude extract', like tea or tincture you can make at home, that's another sign that this information may really matter to you. Ideally, we'd get studies done on free-living humans, with the types of remedies we actually recommend to our clients – so again, the question comes down to: how close is this to our actual work?We'd like for everyone to go to an herbalism school where you can ask the teachers these kinds of questions, anytime you want.

What if your struggles, heartbreaks, illnesses, relationships, and biggest challenges were never random, but lessons your soul chose before you were born?In this very special episode of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, Mayim and Jonathan investigate one of the most controversial spiritual ideas ever discussed: Earth School — the theory that Earth is a classroom for the soul, and that every experience in your life has a deeper purpose.Near death experiencers around the world report strikingly similar revelations:- Choosing their lives before birth- Seeing a life review after death- Discovering a hidden purpose behind suffering- Learning that consciousness may survive physical deathBut that's only the beginning.Ancient civilizations separated by oceans, languages, and thousands of years all appear to describe the same mysterious journey of the soul. Could Plato, Tibetan mystics, Kabbalists, Buddhists, Hindu sages, and modern NDE survivors all be pointing toward the same hidden truth?We're breaking down:- Shocking NDEs that reveal life as a "school"- Why many NDE survivors return convinced they chose their challenges- ncient story of a man who died, returned, and described souls selecting their next lives- Forgotten biblical teachings about reincarnation that were later rejected by church authorities- Tibetan, Buddhist, Hindu, Greek, and Kabbalistic traditions that describe the soul's evolution- Mysterious phenomenon of children who remember previous lives- Scientific research investigating NDEs & consciousness beyond death- Why suffering may be a lesson, not a punishment- Theory that humanity may be part of a much larger cosmic experiment- Whether Earth School is spiritual truth...or humanity's greatest coping mechanismWhether you're a skeptic, spiritual seeker, philosopher, or simply wondering why you're here, this conversation will challenge everything you think you know about life, death, and the journey of the soul.If life isn't happening TO you—but FOR you—what lesson are you here to learn?Class is in session.Full episode with Betty Guadagno: https://art19.com/shows/mayim-bialiks-breakdown/episodes/19072ff3-528c-4247-bb6e-b90d26a58212Full episode with Dr. Raymond Moody: https://rss.art19.com/episodes/2560c428-3814-4dbf-9a10-aacc692ae0d8.mp3Full episode with Dr. Bruce Greyson: https://art19.com/shows/mayim-bialiks-breakdown/episodes/4e43ce85-fa70-4dbd-b379-3d27e4a5e4c9Full episode with Dr. Jim Tucker: https://art19.com/shows/mayim-bialiks-breakdown/episodes/51710fc8-a5df-4302-bdc9-ef2fb67ddda8If you're struggling with OCD or unrelenting intrusive thoughts, NOCD can help.
