Regarding Consciousness

Welcome to the show the multi-talented Miguel Ribeiro, author of Beyond Darwin, The Program Hypothesis. The narrative of Miguel's book challenges the notion of transitioning from certainty to uncertainty, highlighting the complexities that lie in the unexplored realms of science.Are humans merely divine computer programs? This thought-provoking concept delves into the idea that our existence may be part of a grand design, prompting readers to question their place in the cosmic symphony.Then the question of free will inevitably arises. How can individuals possess autonomy if everything is pre-programmed? The dichotomy between fate and free will serves as a captivating centerpiece, keeping readers engrossed in the narrative's philosophical complexity.In his book, Miguel weaves together scientific discoveries, philosophical inquiry, and profound contemplation, inviting readers to embark on a transformative journey that questions the very fabric of existence and the Universe itself.In this interview with Miguel, you'll discover:-The inspiration behind writing Beyond Darwin...02:00-You can't go from certainty to uncertainty...07:15-"Coincidences" that cannot be explained in the realm of Darwinian science...10:30-All scientific norms are being challenged...15:00-Are humans simply divine computer programs?...19:45-Do we have free will when we believe everything is pre-programmed?...25:25-Why the Universe is not entirely random...29:50-And much more...Resources mentioned:Beyond Darwin, The Program HypothesisAbout the guest:Miguel Ribeiro was born in Lisbon, 18 August 1952.

In today's episode, NASA engineer Shehnaz Soni shares how the "Quantum Aspect" has allowed her to see through great suffering in her life to see a greater purpose in her life.Though our circumstances appear on the surface to be crushing and insurmountable, with a tilt in perspective, we can look back on them and see how they were instrumental in tempering our spirit and leading to greater victories than we would experience if "everything went our way."In this interview with Shehnaz, you'll discover:-How painful memories from childhood have led to Shehnaz' current path of bringing a "Star Trek world" to reality...02:05-The journey from a forced marriage to success in academics and in career...06:30-Why Jennifer believes our souls choose our circumstances...10:50-The tools available for us to break through crushing circumstances...12:30-Hardships beget resilience, which begets endurance...16:00-What we think we want often comes in the form of hardship...21:10-Shehnaz' greatest material failure, and how it was a bridge to ultimate success...23:20-The test of our will and spirit is ongoing...30:50-And much more...Resources mentioned:Quantum Being: A Self-Sustaining and Magnificent Human Craft by Shehnaz Sonishehnazsoni.comAbout the guest:Shehnaz was born and raised as an orthodox Muslim in Karachi, Pakistan. From day one, she was asked to fit inside a box that didn’t align with her true calling. She grew up feeling trapped within a patriarchal, cultural mindset where women are groomed, expected to be wives and homemakers, and not encouraged to go to school. Being a bright and headstrong young girl, she pushed over one barrier after another in her determination to complete her high school education and go on to college. Shehnaz graduated high school as the valedictorian and continued engineering at the University of Karachi despite persistent cultural and familial abuse and degradation as a female.Her aspirations to achieve a college degree and financial independence were soon obliterated when obligatory arranged marriage disrupted her education. Dictated by cultural tradition, she was married off to a stranger after a one-hour interview, and quickly after the wedding, she immigrated to the United States with her new groom, leaving everything behind.Upon her arrival in the United States, she faced a new set of challenges, including financial, cultural, and language barriers—as she tried to acculturate to her new life. In facing the choice to either do what was expected and approved or to expand her inner self, Shehnaz reawakened her trailblazer instincts and chose the path of transformation.Committed to pursuing her dream life, she attended a community college to learn English. She already spoke three languages – Urdu, Gujarati (goo-jar-a-tee), and Hindi but had long-dreamed of speaking English fluently. Her decision not to take “no” for an answer rewarded her with a degree in electrical engineering at the University of California, Irvine. This achievement launched her into a life of financial independence, space exploration, and an ongoing personal expedition of change at both the physical and quantum level.Shehnaz has worked as a rocket scientist for both Boeing and NASA. Her work on the massive rocket called the Space Launch System (SLS) will be used in one of the earlier missions to facilitate living on the Moon. Additionally, she assisted in building and implementing the Falcon 9 rocket which provided taxi service for astronauts aboard the International Space Station eliminating our reliance on the Russian Soyuz rocket.Her most recent work at NASA includes the Artemis Project. She and her cutting-edge team of aerospace engineers have developed requirements for the unprecedented Human Landing System, also known as HLS. When ready to launch, this system will finally bridge mankind with a long-term presence on the Moon and ultimately on Mars. The astronauts, preselected to take this flagship journey, will include the first woman and the first person of color ever to step foot on the south side of the Moon and ultimately Mars.Shehnaz is the author of the soon-to-be-released Quantum Being. Part memoir and part guide for humanity, this book will bridge science and spirituality to help the reader realize the truth of their magnificence as human beings on the journey to manifest their own miracles.Shehnaz believes that we all have the power to live an incredible life as quantum beings. Through her group workshops and sessions as a health and Transformation Coach, she shares her knowledge and experience to guide clients and students toward enlightenment and self-empowerment in all aspects of their lives. Being a quantum human, she believes, is to embark on an alchemical transformation toward our highest life potential.As we undertake the daunting task of transformation, we embark on the journey that will ultimately become habitual, automatic, and effortless – akin to a rocket leaving the Earth. At first, the initial launch requires enormous power, then less and less as it leaves the Earth’s gravitational field. Finally, the rocket moves through space under its own momentum breaking all the barriers, beyond imagination to traverse new worlds.OptiMatchAre you ready to stop struggling with high churn rates, decreased satisfaction, and financial losses due to poor matches in your business?
