Episode Summary:For ten years running, Dr. Rupert Sheldrake has been recognized as one of the “most spiritually influential living people in the world” by Watkins Mind Body Spirit magazine. His work has been featured in many magazines, newspapers and broadcast media, including New Scientist, The Guardian, Discover magazine, The Spectator, The Washington Post, Die Zeit, the Netflix original Cunk on Life, and on BBC Radio and television.Sheldrake, a Cambridge educated biologist and author, is best known for his controversial and pioneering work on the concept of morphic resonance, which suggests that there are inherent patterns of behavior in nature influenced by past occurrences of similar patterns, creating a kind of collective memory that transcends individual organisms and time. His ideas have sparked debate, especially within the scientific community, because they challenge the mechanistic worldview that traditional science holds. Labeled a heretic within the scientific community for his embrace of spirituality, Sheldrake's research opens up a fascinating dialogue between science and spirituality, suggesting these realms are not as separate as we've been told.Sheldrake argues that science and spirituality can complement each other, rather than be in opposition. He believes modern science has become too reductionist, focusing solely on material explanations and overlooking the potential for interconnectedness and universal consciousness. Spiritual practices like meditation, singing, and pilgrimage, which have long been seen as purely subjective experiences, have positive effects on the human experience that can be understood and measured through scientific research.While Sheldrake's work doesn't directly “prove” the spiritual benefits of practices like meditation, singing, and pilgrimage, he offers a perspective that allows for these practices to be understood scientifically. For instance, numerous studies have shown that meditation has tangible effects on the brain, such as enhancing neuroplasticity, reducing stress, and improving emotional regulation. Singing has been shown to have positive effects on mental health and can trigger the release of endorphins and oxytocin, promoting feelings of well-being and connection. Pilgrimages are associated with transformative spiritual experiences, and research on this topic shows that they often lead to positive shifts in mental health, increased sense of purpose, and connectedness with others. Sheldrake believes pilgrimages are sacred journeys that not only connect us to sacred sites, but more broadly, to the universal field of human connectivity across space and time.I sat down with Dr. Sheldrake from his home in London to discuss how his background as a world-renown scientist impacted his spiritual quest. We discussed his journey in and out of the Anglican tradition, morphic resonance, why he's been labeled a heretic in the scientific community, the transformational power of pilgrimage, why evolution and Christianity support one another, and other existential questions like, “What really is the meaning of life?”We've had some incredible guests on the show over the previous five years, but Sheldrake is by far the most prominent, globally recognized scholar we've been fortunate enough to know and engage.

That's right—we're born with many different genes, but that does not mean they are all active. Genes can be activated or silenced from so many different things, like what you eat, how you move, and how you restore your system. Your thoughts, feelings, and social connections even regulate your genes too. You can turn on genes that create health or disease or weight gain or weight loss.In today's episode, I talk with Drs. Jeff Bland, Bruce Lipton, and Todd LePine about how environmental and lifestyle factors are significant determining factors of your health.Dr. Jeff Bland is the founder of Big Bold Health, a company on a mission to transform the way people think about one of nature's greatest innovations—the immune system.

A Fascinating Exploration on Why the Darwinists' Theory No Longer Explains EverythingEverywhere there are characteristics of animals that do not want to fit into the theory of evolution anywhere. And man? Are we really the most adapted life-form on this planet? Today, more and more scientists who contradict the previous theory of evolution speak out. The theory fits the changes within the species, but it can no longer be reconciled with the inner workings of the cell. Some other influence that has so far escaped us is affecting evolution. It is called "Intelligent Design." Intelligent planning is suspected behind this. Anyone or anything—a spirit of the universe? aliens?—could be behind this planning.In this must-listen book, Erich von Däniken uses countless examples to demonstrate the impossibility of the previous evolutionary idea. He quotes scientists who argue against the previous teaching, but also those who defend it. Unfortunately, established science still refuses to look at discrepancies and holes in the theory of evolution, even though it is quite obvious that there is more going on with regard to the development of all species, as well as human culture, than could be explained by the theory of evolution alone.Hailed as one of the forefathers of the Ancient Astronaut theory, Erich von Däniken is the award-winning and bestselling author of Chariots of the Gods, Twilight of the Gods, and many other books. He lectures throughout the world and has appeared in TV specials and many episodes of Ancient Aliens on the History Channel. A cofounder of the Archaeology, Astronautics, and SETI Research Association, he lives in Switzerland. In 2019, Erich von Daniken was cited as one of the "100 Most Spiritually Influential Living People in the World" according to Watkins Mind Body Spirit magazine.

The Book of Soul: Mark NepoAfter being born physically, we unfold within a second womb, meant to incubate our better angel. The second womb is an experiential one that, through the labor of a lifetime, births the soul on Earth. This book delves into that process of transformation in its mystery, difficulty, and inevitability. It is designed to be entered a chapter each week over the course of a year, so you can weave your inner reflection into your days, letting one inform the other. Our journey from innocence to experience is how we emerge from the second womb. The sections of this book mark the passages we all face in moving through this experiential unfolding: enduring our walk in the world, until we discover our true inheritance, which lets us live in the open by widening our circle, until we help each other stay awake.Mark has been called “one of the finest spiritual guides of our time,” “a consummate storyteller,” and “an eloquent spiritual teacher.” His work is widely accessible and used by many and his books have been translated into more than twenty languages.

Mark devotes his writing and teaching to the journey of inner transformation and the life of relationship. He continues to offer readings, lectures, and retreats. Key Points from the Episode with Mark Nepo: Mark sees himself as a life-long student and teacher, and the student part leads him to write his books. He writes from a place of inquiry as he goes through life, and uses his books for people to go through an inquiry themselves (rather than just handing out answers). Mark says he writes about what he needs to know, not what he knows. True teachers are those who point you to your own wisdom rather than giving you theirs. There are no short cuts or how-tos. Mark talks about the journey of being human, which he sees as about the constant steering and struggling to be real. In the context of the journey, Mark does not see there being a destination or arrival point. It’s all journey, exploration and inquiring. He used experience with a compass sailing through fog on a boat his father built – the needle never stands solidly still, pointing North. It wobbles and moves, which he sees as such a great analogy for how life works. He quoted William Blake, who said, “Straight is the road to improvement, and crooked is the road to genius." Mark shared the source of the word “Genius,” which actually means “Attendant spirit.” We all have this, so we all have genius in us. It’s an interesting way for us to think about who is a genius, and whether we are willing to see the genius in us. It’s an attendant spirit that is within us to see us through the journey. Mark has survived Cancer more than once, a process that taught him so much about that journey and struggle. He found that we don’t have to suffer some terrible fate to really grow – we all suffer in different ways and we can all grow. In his 30s, he was teaching in Albany and was a poet, and was diagnosed with a rare form of Lymphoma that showed as a tumor in his skull bone that was growing and protruding rapidly and dramatically. At the same time, he wife at the time was also going through Cancer, so he was focused on her and didn’t even recognize that there was a lump protruding from his head. After going into a doctor’s appointment where he got the diagnosis, he describes it like going through a door he could never go back through. While he waited for his craniotomy (removal of part of his skull), he felt like the tumor’s size was fluctuating, but no one would believe him. He insisted before surgery to have another MRI, and they found that the tumor was gone. That moment forced him to return to life and wonder who he was, what he was supposed to do. Within 8-10 months, another tumor on his rib had progressed and presented itself, and that needed to be removed, so his battle reemerged. This sparked fear in Mark as the things he used to help with his cranial tumor weren’t helping, so he had surgery to remove the rib. Given the rare and aggressive form of Lymphoma he had, he had to have chemotherapy for four months, which nearly killed. Along the journey, he kept being reminded of the crooked road to the attendant spirit, which required total authenticity, openness and acceptance of what it means today to get to tomorrow. The process lead him to open to the beliefs of many religions, not just Judaism, which he was raised with. He found energy in affirming the common center of all paths of belief, which was so empowering and warming. This also taught him that everything he does must come from his heart. His mind serves his heart today, and everything he chooses to write must come from his heart or he won’t write it. Mark described a shift in his poetry through this where he wanted to write poems that helped him live. Today, in his 60s, he says he wants to be the poems, which is such a beautiful way to think about it. Mark used the analogy of a butterfly emerging from its cocoon to make a point. The butterfly only does that once, while we can do that many times as we grow from different versions of ourselves. And none of those cocoons is wrong, nor were the past versions of us “bad”. They did their job, or we wouldn’t be who we are now. If we think about a glass of water, it’s like us. The water is our spirit and the glass is our identity. If the glass breaks, we are still us, and we can add our spirit to another identity as we grow. We all go exploration, mastery and abandonment as we go through life. We get these opportunities to go back to being the beginner in major life transition points like retirement. This brings possibility and joy. This lead to the discussion of our identity to be tied to our career. Mark shared an example from Native American culture where roles shifted based on the needs of the community. Therefore, no one was defined by one thing they did, but rather by their relationship the community overall. That is a stark difference that could allow them to go through the shifts in life without facing the same sort of identity crisis many of us go through. How do we lean into life and be whole-hearted? The times we really need it are the times we tend to be closed, the times when life is tougher. Mark said something really powerful - fear is to be moved through, not obeyed. We all get the abrasion of living. Pain is the friction of life, and we can’t avoid it. The way to deal with it is to broaden our view. Don’t stay small so the pain is large relative to you. If you enlarge your sense of things, the pain will not be as great relative to all you’re seeing. How you do that is within you, not something Mark can prescribe. Opening yourself to exploring that is a way to start. What makes you feel a more enlarged sense of things? If you feel pain, complication, confusion or entanglement, ask yourself, “Is what’s before me heartening or disheartening? If it’s heartening, lean into it. If it is disheartening, why am I bothering?” We will encounter pain and fear, and that will cause us to constrict. Our job is not to eliminate that fear or pain, but rather to open up. How do we let beauty in while we are suffering. This helps us to open up. Even in moments of pain, we have to discern how bad the pain really is so we can build on those moments. As Mark shared, every pain he felt after his rib removal during his Cancer battle can’t be a 12 on a 1-10 scale, so forcing himself to see the difference helped him open up again and keep things in perspective. Starting in March, Mark will be running a few year-long programs around authenticity and your own personal development practice. They start in-person with Mark in Kalamazoo, Michigan, and all have limited availability so you really get a deep, personal interaction to spark your growth. You can find more about this and everything he does at marknepo.com and threeintentions.com, which is specifically focused on this program. Mark ended with his own twist on “Go out and do it,” asking everyone to be as present in your heart as possible so you can remove whatever is between your heart and the world.

We spend our lives seeking love, acceptance, wealth, success, and even ‘spiritual enlightenment’ in the future.We long to be complete.Yet right at the heart of life there is an intimacy, a simplicity, a completeness that is totally beyond words – and which cannot be reached through any effort of ours.In our exhausting attempts to change, to improve ourselves, to become perfect or enlightened - or perfectly enlightened - we end up ignoring this wordless intimacy which exists here and now – an intimacy which is really our true home, and the end of all our seeking.Julie Ann's ConsciousSHIFT guest Jeff Foster, author of "The Deepest Acceptance: Radical Awakening in Ordinary Life," invites us to discover the ocean of who we are: an awareness that has already allowed every wave of emotion and experience to arrive.What if we were to deeply explore the nature of our experience, not with the aim of ‘fixing’ it – but of seeing the wholeness within it?Jeff invites us to think of this ‘nonduality’ as a ‘finger pointing to the moon’ (as they say in Zen) - directing our attention to the wholeness of all life, to the Oneness which exists here and now.Despite all the ways in which we try to run away from uncomfortable and painful experiences, the possbility of discovering ease and freedom lies right in the midst of those experiences.It is beyond comprehension, yet it is as obvious as breathing, as familiar as the feeling of your heart beating in your chest, as ordinary as the sights and sounds and smells appearing in this room.Ultimately, who you really are, and life itself, are inseparable. They are not-two, they are "non-dual" - they are intimate.This is a timeless truth that goes right to the heart of all the world’s spiritual traditions, and ultimately right to the heart of modern science, too.How can we bring an effortless yes to this moment?How do we stop running from “the mess of life” — our predicaments, our frustrations, even our search for liberation - and start flowing with all of it?Join Julie Ann and Jeff to discover unexpected new ways to a enter a space of absolute acceptance and joy, no matter what’s happening in our lives ... and to stop trying to “do” acceptance … and start falling in love with “what has already been allowed.”The message is always the same: What you are, in the deepest sense, is what you have always been seeking.Jeff Foster studied Astrophysics at Cambridge University. In his mid-twenties, after a long period of depression and illness, he became addicted to the idea of ‘spiritual enlightenment’ and embarked on an intensive spiritual quest for the ultimate truth of existence.The spiritual search came crashing down with the clear recognition of the non-dual nature of everything, and the discovery of the extraordinary in the ordinary. In the clarity of this seeing, life became what it always was: intimate, open, loving and spontaneous, and Jeff was left with a deep understanding of the root illusion behind all human suffering, and a love of the present moment.Jeff was voted #51 in Watkins Mind Body Spirit’s 2012 list of the world’s 100 Most Spiritually Influential Living People.
