A New Way of Being

Federico Faggin, physicist and microprocessor pioneer who experienced a spontaneous awakening, blends scientific rigor with direct spiritual insight. He reflects on the 1990 transformative shift, why direct experience matters, consciousness as primary, free will and quantum ideas, the role of love and meaning, and how integration and cultural change might unfold.

Every January there's a familiar conversation about becoming someone new. But real change doesn’t come from trying to fix a 'broken self.' Lasting change comes from stopping self-abandonment — learning to listen to what you feel, know and need, rather than overriding yourself to cope, please or perform. When you stop betraying yourself in small, everyday ways, clarity returns, boundaries become simpler, and life begins to flow with far less struggle.I am hosting a free webinar next Tuesday January 13th at 8pm called How To Stop Abandoning Yourself (and Live From Presence).Register here: https://zoom.us/meeting/register/b-bZ_YIJRZClJPdyluZeLg#/registrationRead about my coaching or book a consultation: https://calendly.com/simon-wgw/find-your-flow-intro-chatYouTube subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/@IAmSimonMundieSubstack subscribe: https://substack.com/@simonmundie Hosted on Acast.

What If The Point Of Life Is Simply To Become More Loving? In this conversation, I’m joined by physicist and consciousness researcher Tom Campbell, author of My Big TOE (Theory Of Everything). We explore a simple but profound idea: that life is less about extraordinary experiences and more about the everyday choice between fear and love. Tom shares his view that consciousness evolves through how we live — through honesty, responsibility, and the way we treat ourselves and others — especially at a time when humanity feels increasingly divided.For 1:1 coaching book a consultation: https://calendly.com/simon-wgw/find-your-flow-intro-chatYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@IAmSimonMundieSubstack: https://substack.com/@simonmundieFree Course: https://www.simonmundie.com/restore-balance-mini-courseFor info on group coaching: info@simonmundie.comFor a gift of 30 free meditation sessions on Henry Shukman's app 'The Way' - click here: https://the-way.app.link/simon Hosted on Acast.

Jason highlights the potential for job transformation and the necessity for governance in AI adoption. He also offers practical advice on becoming AI literate, stressing the importance of viewing AI as an augmentative tool rather than a replacement.
