NLS 318: UC Berkeley Physicist UNCOVERS Supernatural Phenomena CHANGING OUR Reality! with Cynthia Sue Larson

Dr. Eben Alexander spent over 25 years as an academic neurosurgeon, including 15 years at the Brigham & Women’s Hospital, the Children’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School in Boston. Over those years he personally dealt with hundreds of patients suffering from severe alterations in their level of consciousness. Many of those patients were rendered comatose by trauma, brain tumors, ruptured aneurysms, infections, or stroke. He thought he had a very good idea of how the brain generates consciousness, mind and spirit.In the predawn hours of November 10, 2008, he was driven into coma by a rare and mysterious bacterial meningo-encephalitis of unknown cause. He spent a week in coma on a ventilator, his prospects for survival diminishing rapidly. On the seventh day, to the surprise of everyone, he started to awaken. Memories of his life had been completely deleted inside of the coma, yet he awoke with memories of a fantastic odyssey deep into another realm – more real than this earthly one! His older son advised him to write down everything he could remember about his journey, before he read anything about near-death experiences, physics or cosmology. Six weeks later, he completed his initial recording of his remarkable journey, totaling over 20,000 words in length. Then he started reading, and was astonished by the commonalities between his journey and so many others reported throughout all cultures, continents and millennia. His journey brought key insights to the mind-body discussion and to our human understanding of the fundamental nature of reality. His experience clearly revealed that we are conscious in spite of our brain – that, in fact, consciousness is at the root of all existence.He has been blessed with a complete recovery that is inexplicable from the viewpoint of modern Western medicine.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/next-level-soul-podcast-with-alex-ferrari--4858435/support.Take your spiritual journey to the next level with Next Level Soul TV — our dedicated streaming home for conscious storytelling and soulful transformation.Experience exclusive programs, original series, movies, tv shows, workshops, audiobooks, meditations, and a growing library of inspiring content created to elevate, heal, and awaken.

Louise Kay was born in Lancashire, in the northwest of The UK. After graduating from university, she worked as an English teacher for 15 years, and during this time, she began to question life's deeper meaning. This led her to the path of spirituality, where she found a strong resonance with the teachings of non-duality.In her early thirties, Louise felt a deep call in her heart to visit India, where she experienced a profound spiritual awakening. Shortly afterward, Louise began channeling and traveling around the world, sharing this gift for several years. During this time, she experienced a deepening and integration of her initial spiritual awakening, and as she opened more to this non-dual truth, the channeling faded away, and a new form of expression revealed itself from deep in her heart.Louise is passionate about supporting people to live a life of presence and unconditional love. Her greatest joy is to sit together in the presence and gently hold space for all emotions, all sensations, and all experiences which arise at the moment in order to support the integration of unresolved energies and allow the unfolding of the divine in all who feel the call.Explorations are usually focused on self-inquiry, releasing limiting beliefs, and integrating unprocessed emotions and energies.Louise holds group events online and around the world.Please enjoy my conversation with Louise Kay.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/next-level-soul-podcast-with-alex-ferrari--4858435/support.Take your spiritual journey to the next level with Next Level Soul TV — our dedicated streaming home for conscious storytelling and soulful transformation.Experience exclusive programs, original series, movies, tv shows, workshops, audiobooks, meditations, and a growing library of inspiring content created to elevate, heal, and awaken.

In this journey of spiritual exploration, we welcome the ever-enlightened Jonathan Robinson, a seeker who has graced his path with encounters from the Dalai Lama to Mother Teresa. His life, a testament to the endless quest for inner peace, resonates with the simple yet profound essence of perceiving the world beyond the ego’s grasp.Jonathan believes enlightenment is perceiving the world without the ego's lens. As he shares his journey, it becomes clear that awakening is not reserved for the select few but is attainable for anyone willing to explore the right methods. He mentions how enlightenment often is misunderstood as an unattainable state, reserved only for great spiritual beings, whereas it is a matter of shifting one's awareness and identifying with the soul.His journey in the scientific study of enlightenment alongside Dr. Jeffrey Martin reveals that modern methods can effectively guide one toward awakening. This collaboration aimed to study enlightenment triggers and the most efficient practices to achieve it. What stands out is the realization that many traditional methods might not be as effective in today’s fast-paced world, but innovative approaches developed recently show remarkable potential in inducing moments of enlightenment.Jonathan describes the four levels of enlightenment: starting from being present, feeling one with everything, embodying love, and finally, a state of non-dual awareness where emotions dissolve, leaving pure presence. His personal experiences with spiritual masters like Sai Baba, who exuded overwhelming love energy, further illustrate the profound impact of these enlightened beings.His unique encounters, such as with Sai Baba manifesting ash and the overwhelming love he felt, highlight the extraordinary nature of true spiritual presence. Yet, Robinson also emphasizes the practicality of enlightenment, appreciating figures like the Dalai Lama who maintain their awakened state while engaging actively in the world.SPIRITUAL TAKEAWAYSEnlightenment is Perceiving Beyond the Ego: It’s about shifting from identifying with the ego to recognizing oneself as pure awareness.Modern Methods for Awakening: Embracing new, effective methods tailored for the contemporary world can significantly enhance one’s spiritual journey.Embodied Presence and Love: True enlightenment often manifests as a deep sense of love and presence, transcending ordinary human experiences.Jonathan Robinson's mission extends beyond personal enlightenment. His goal is to disseminate these potent methods, making them accessible to millions. His website, The Enlightenment Project, offers resources and practices that can be done in minutes, reflecting his belief in simplicity and accessibility in spiritual practices.In conclusion, the path to enlightenment is both deeply personal and universally attainable. It’s about finding methods that resonate with you and integrating them into your daily life. By focusing on inner peace and love, and then extending this outward, one not only transforms their own life but also contributes to the collective awakening.Please enjoy my conversation with Jonathan Robinson.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/next-level-soul-podcast-with-alex-ferrari--4858435/support.Take your spiritual journey to the next level with Next Level Soul TV — our dedicated streaming home for conscious storytelling and soulful transformation.Experience exclusive programs, original series, movies, tv shows, workshops, audiobooks, meditations, and a growing library of inspiring content created to elevate, heal, and awaken.
