You think, you feel, you are—but what if your consciousness isn’t just in your brain? What if reality itself is shaped by something beyond the physical?

In this episode, Mark Gober—author, consciousness researcher, and former Silicon Valley banker—joins Dave Asprey to challenge everything you think you know about the mind, reality, and human potential. He explores groundbreaking research on near-death experiences, psychic phenomena, and why some scientists believe consciousness may exist beyond the body.

Mark reveals how declassified CIA documents, quantum physics, and meditation practices point to a deeper, more interconnected world—one where perception creates reality. If you’ve ever questioned whether free will is an illusion, wondered about life after death, or wanted to tap into higher states of awareness, this episode will shift your perspective.

What You’ll Discover in This Episode:

• Is consciousness non-local? Why your brain might not be the source of your thoughts

• Near-death experiences & life after death—the science and firsthand accounts

• Psychic phenomena & remote viewing—what the CIA doesn’t want you to ignore

• Float tanks, meditation & altered states—how to access expanded awareness

• The AI consciousness debate—can machines ever become truly self-aware?

• Protecting your energy—why spiritual safeguards matter when exploring altered states
