Is Everything You Know About Reality…Wrong? What Is Consciousness & How Does It Shape Our Reality??

In this mind-expanding episode of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, Dr. Bernardo Kastrup (Executive Director of the Essentia Foundation, CEO of AI company Euclyd B.V., and the leading voice behind the modern renaissance of metaphysical idealism) explores the BIGGEST questions humans have ever asked, like:

- What is the true nature of reality?

- What happens when we die?

- Is consciousness more fundamental than matter?

- Does love actually matter?

- Is suffering necessary, or just misunderstood?

- Could reality be mental at its core, and not physical?

If you've ever questioned what science can’t explain, like supernatural experiences, deep emotional pain, or why the placebo effect can shrink tumors and reduce the need for surgery, this episode will blow your mind.

Dr. Kastrup reveals:

- Why physicalism fails to explain human experience

- How cosmopsychism gives us the tools to connect across political & cultural divides

- Why cancer may be partly a mental phenomenon

- How psychedelics model death

- The spiritual purpose of menopause (yes, really!)

- The loss of meaning as the real threat to humanity

- How the universe mimics biological networks (and why that matters)

- Why tinnitus became a spiritual journey of awakening for him

- Shocking power of the mind-body connection to heal or harm

- How addiction, capitalism, and overstimulation pull us away from life’s deeper truth

- Danger of identifying with your narrative self

- Why science isn’t enough to explain life’s biggest mysteries, and never will be

- Plus: Why Bernardo rarely does interviews anymore…and what made him say yes to this one.

If you've ever felt that there’s more to life than what we see, this episode is for you.
