Gary illuminates our ability to be precognitive through that everyday transition between waking and sleeping--hypnogogic-the guide from sleep. His information presents as auditory, other people use visuals. Practice monitoring your information flow as you fall asleep and as you wake up perhaps starting with waking up. Let your mind drift in this in between world and you are like to find creative urges to build on during the day. *This episode was originally uploaded to YouTube on October 6, 2024 * Gary Lachman is the author of many books on topics ranging from the evolution of consciousness to literary suicides, popular culture and the history of the occult.

Unraveling the Mystery of the Headless Buddha: Ricky Derisz, EP 369

Ricky Derisz communicates with his heart and his head. Go ahead, get a feel for his wonderful heart energy. He experiences sequential synchronicities. Here is one he tells us. He unintentionally knocked the head of a state of the Buddha that initiated a series of "headless" occurrences. He interprets this one as clues to nonlocal knowledge. Several memes recurred for him: " Off with his head" from Alice in Wonderland, "If you meet the Buddha on the road, kill him." "It's the journey, not the destination." Read his chapter in the new book, The Playful Universe to get to know him in another way. We had a great connection. *This episode was originally uploaded to YouTube on September 29, 2024 * Ricky Derisz is a writer, speaker, and host of the MindThatEgo Podcast. Inspired by his battle with mental illness and subsequent awakening, Ricky's independent research and self-inquiry practice synthesizes depth psychology, spirituality, philosophy, science, and more, to support a cohesive model of reality that allows for a life-enriching relationship with the cosmos, one of enchantment, mystery, and mysticism. https://www.mindthatego.com    / @mindthatego   https://www.mindthatego.com/mindsets-for-mindfulness/ Bernard D.

Physicist: We are Conscious Quantum Fields, Beyond Space and Time: Federico Faggin, EP 367

In this episode of Connecting with Coincidence, Dr. Bernard Beitman and guest Federico Faggin dive into the profound questions about the fundamental nature of reality, the "one totality of existence, free will, consciousness and wanting to know ourselves. Federico Faggin is a physicist, inventor of the first commercial microprocessor, and consciousness researcher. Together, we discuss Federico's "postulate of being", which posits that the universe, "the totality of existence" is dynamic, holistic, and wants to know itself. We explore the intersections of quantum physics and consciousness, the role of free will, and the ways in which our individual perspectives contribute to the collective understanding of reality. The conversation also touches on the importance of self-observation and the potential of synchronicities to reveal deeper truths about our interconnectedness and purpose. *This episode was originally uploaded to YouTube on September 15, 2024 * Federico Faggin created MOS Silicon Gate Technology that underlies all modern computing, the first commercial microprocessor, the touchpad, the touchscreen, and neural nets that all contemporary AI uses. After an extraordinary experience of consciousness more than 30 years ago, Federico has devoted his work to understanding the nature of consciousness, which along with free will, he postulates to be fundamental aspects of existence itself. ⁠https://www.federicofaggin.com/⁠ Published books and other content 📕 "Irreducible: Consciousness, Life, Computers, and Human Nature" ⁠https://tinyurl.com/yc2fepx9⁠ www.fagginfoundation.org Consciousness Research Foundation 👋@fedefaggin on X, IG, TikTok, YT @federico.faggin on LinkedIn Bernard D.

The Flaming Sword of Quantum Physics: Timothy Eastman, EP 366

Plasma physicist Timothy Eastman cuts our ties to classical physics to release the genie of quantum physics into our collective minds. Solids, liquids and gases now have a 4th state of matter--plasma--in which electrons, protons, electromagnetism and other forces are constantly interacting to create this newest state of matter. Can this new state be a way of understanding psi phenomena and the functioning of the psychosphere? *This episode was originally uploaded to YouTube on September 8, 2024 * Timothy E. Eastman, PhD, plasma and space physics, and philosophy: Dr. Eastman's scholarly works, including three books and over 100 research papers, encompass research and consulting in space physics, plasma applications, space weather and education. Having realized the pervasive impact of multi-level processes and emergence in the natural world, he began to critically assess the implications of new developments in science and philosophy. Dr. Eastman's major work, Untying the Gordian Knot: Process, Reality, and Context (Lexington, 2020), synthesizes recent developments in philosophy, physics, logic, process thought, and biosemiotics, and contributes to a new natural philosophy for the 21st century. https://plasmas.org Bernard D.

Let Precognition Fuel Your Creativity: Eric Wargo, EP 364

Your future is calling you. Feel the tugs, notice the foggy signals coming from what you are being drawn to. Eric Wargo feels the future. He knows you can touch your future because it is trying to touch you. Evidence? Listen to the artists who predict the future without consciously knowing what will happen. They write and paint things that will later happen.
