Elevating Consciousness

Chris Niebauer is the author of “No Self No Problem” a book that details how neuropsychology is catching up to Buddhism. He earned his PhD in cognitive neuropsychology at the University of Toledo, specializing in the differences between the left and right hemispheres of the brain. He is currently a professor at Slippery Rock University in Pennsylvania where he teaches courses on consciousness, mindfulness, left and right brain differences, and artificial intelligence.  In this episode, we talk about how the left brain creates the ego, left and right brain differences, and how to rebalance the brain. 

Dr. Daniel Ingram is the author of  “Mastering The Core Teachings of the Buddha” - a book that strips away all the nonsense from the meditative path. He is a master meditator and unlike many other meditation practitioners and teachers, he is open about his attainments. He refers to himself as an Arhant which in the theravada Buddhist tradition is an enlightened being. In this episode, we dive into awakening, psychedelics, and how spiritual experiences can be integrated into the medical field.
