In this thought-provoking episode of the Jack Canfield Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Tony Nader, a renowned expert in the field of consciousness and a prominent leader in the Transcendental Meditation (TM) community. Dr. Nader shares his profound insights on the nature of consciousness, exploring how it underlies every aspect of existence and how understanding it can lead to a more fulfilled and harmonious life.

Dr. Nader introduces the concept that consciousness is primary, describing it as a vast ocean where all experiences and realities emerge. He explains the distinction between the field of consciousness, which is limitless and beyond physical perception, and the manifest field, which encompasses our daily experiences and interactions. According to Dr. Nader, the key to true fulfillment lies in recognizing and reconnecting with this deeper level of consciousness.


Key Insights from the Episode:

  • The Nature of Consciousness: Dr. Nader explains that consciousness is not just a product of the brain but is the fundamental field from which all life emerges. He describes it as a non-material, self-aware field that permeates everything, likening it to an ocean where individual waves represent different aspects of experience.
  • Duality of Existence: He discusses the dual aspects of existence—material and immaterial—and how our subjective experiences are not merely by-products of physical processes but are integral to understanding reality.
  • The Role of Meditation: Dr. Nader emphasizes the transformative power of meditation, particularly Transcendental Meditation, in accessing deeper levels of consciousness. Through meditation, individuals can transcend surface-level thoughts and connect with the vast ocean of consciousness, leading to greater clarity, peace, and fulfillment.
  • The Global Impact of Collective Consciousness: Citing scientific studies, Dr. Nader highlights how collective meditation can reduce crime rates and improve societal well-being. He advocates for large-scale meditation initiatives to foster global peace and harmony.


This episode offers a profound exploration of consciousness and its role in shaping our lives and the world around us. Dr. Nader’s insights challenge conventional paradigms and invite listeners to explore the deeper dimensions of their own consciousness.
