“Magic being a placeholder within science for things that we don't quite understand yet.” - Dr. Dean RadinDr. Dean Radin on consciousness, magic, and the science behind unusual human experiences.This conversation discusses consciousness, psychic phenomena, meditation, and the overlap between science and what people often call magic. It matters because the conversation moves beyond folklore and into experiments, philosophy of science, and the practical question of why so many people report experiences that conventional materialism struggles to explain.Thank you to Thrive Protein for supporting this episode.

Use the code RUNEGADE to save 20% off your order.Dean shares how his path moved from professional violinist to engineer to psychologist and researcher, and why that background shaped his work on consciousness. The conversation also covers his books, his experiments on presentiment, and how runners and other athletes might think about intention, focus, and performance in a more expanded way.Key topics:​Dean explains how years of violin practice trained him into states of automaticity and presence, which helped him notice parallels with meditation and altered states.​His first serious experiment at Bell Labs on whether the mind could influence radioactive decay rates, which he says produced odds against chance of 20,000 to 1 and caused an ontological shock.​How materialism can work as a useful model while still being only a special case, and Dean compares it to classical physics being a special case of relativity and quantum mechanics.​Dean recounts early TM meditation experiences that caused perceptual distortions, including corridors seeming to widen or narrow, and how stopping meditation made those effects fade quickly.​He explains presentiment research, including experiments where meditators showed brain responses up to 1.5 seconds before a random stimulus occurred.​The conversation explores whether psychic-type experiences are more common in children, with Dean citing data that performance on ESP-style tests peaked around age 4 in one study.​Dean argues that many adults suppress unusual experiences because of social pressure, religious interpretation, or fear of being labeled mentally ill.​He breaks down the three categories in The Science of Magic: enchantment, divination, and theurgy.​The discussion turns to small-scale mind matter effects, including work with random number generators, plants, stem cells, and glioblastoma cells.​Dean outlines the logic behind his book sequence, from The Conscious Universe to Entangled Minds, Supernormal, Real Magic, and The Science of Magic.​The conversation closes with AI, consciousness, and whether future systems could become conscious or even outperform humans at magic-like tasks.Find More Dean Here:​Website: www.deanradin.com​New Book: The Science of Magic​Dean on X: @DeanRadin​Institute of Noetic SciencesSave Money with RUNEGADE:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Check out the RUNEGADE Linktree and Save⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ - friends of the podcast offering great savings and discounts to our RUNEGADE listeners.Connect with Todd and Mark:​Email: [email protected]​Todd on Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@altramarathonman⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠​Mark on Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@runclemark⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠​⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠RUNEGADE on Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠​⁠RUNEGADE on X⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Path Projects⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ | our favourite running gear and apparel.

We explore how beliefs may shape physiology, why early childhood programming matters, and how everyone (including runners) can think about performance, resilience, and recovery through a different lens. Bruce also walks through practical ways to change old patterns and explains why energy, environment, and mindset matter more than most people realize.Key topics:Bruce explains his stem cell experiments showing that identical cells changed based on their environment, not their genes.Bruce argues that the subconscious runs most of our lives, with many core beliefs formed before age 7.He says the conscious mind is creative, but the subconscious is where old patterns, habits, and self-sabotage live.The discussion covers why people often feel like victims of circumstance when they are actually repeating old programs.Bruce describes love and fear as two different chemistry states that shape the body in opposite directions.The conversation gets into energy, vibes, and how people and places can either increase or drain vitality.Bruce shares three ways to change a program: self-hypnosis, habituation, and energy psychology.Bruce closes by emphasizing health, joy, and taking care of the body as if it were a precious machine.Connect with Dr. Bruce LiptonBruce's WebsiteBruce on YouTube: @BruceHLiptonPhDBruce on Instagram: @bruceliptonBook: The Biology of Belief - over 500,000 copies soldNew Book: Beyond Darwin - New York Times BestsellerSave Money with RUNEGADE:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Check out the RUNEGADE Linktree and Save⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ - friends of the podcast offering great savings and discounts to our RUNEGADE listeners.Connect with Todd and Mark:​Email: [email protected]​Todd on Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@altramarathonman⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠​Mark on Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@runclemark⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠​⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠RUNEGADE on Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠RUNEGADE on X⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Path Projects⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ | our favourite running gear and apparel.

Josh brings both his background in marriage and family therapy and his long experience as a natural runner and sandal maker to the table. We discuss how obsession can damage relationships, why listening matters more than fixing, and how running can actually become a bridge to connection instead of a wedge. Key topicsJosh says the first step with any obsession is not to fix the other person, but to look inward, practice a “fearless and searching moral inventory,” and consider moderation.He explains that good therapy begins with listening, accurate empathy, and paraphrasing, not with immediate advice.Running, at its best, can be a relationship builder, especially when it creates space for conversation, shared effort, and mutual enjoyment.Josh describes how he and his wife have long used running as a shared activity, but only because both of them genuinely enjoy it and can keep it in balance with family life.Josh's desire to help people move more naturally.The importance of being a “spirit matter hybrid” and how nature, movement, and prayer all matter in a healthy life.The episode closes with a practical message: accept limitations, focus on your own growth, and let healthy leadership and self-awareness improve your relationships.“Lord keep me humble, but be gentle.”More Josh and Shamma Sandals:⁠Get Your Shamma Sandals | The Pacific Avenue⁠⁠Shamma on Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Save $$$ with RUNEGADE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ - friends of the podcast offering great savings to our RUNEGADE listeners.Connect with Todd and Mark:​Email: [email protected]​Todd on Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@altramarathonman⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠​Mark on Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@runclemark⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠​⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠RUNEGADE on Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Path Projects⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ | our favourite running gear and apparel.

"Running is just something that brings us all, it’s a shared, it’s something that’s shared between all humans. And that’s a beautiful thing" - Dean KarnazesListen to Dean's first appearance on Episode 26Step back with us to 2006 (20 years ago this month)Social media didn’t exist. Ultrarunning was still a fringe obsession. And running one marathon was, for most people, the absolute edge of human endurance.This episode is sponsored by Thrive Protein | Canadian made supplements, nutrition, and hydration to fuel all your adventures.

Soon after, he quit his corporate job to fully chase his obsession with human potential. Into that world he stepped with a challenge that sounded impossible: 50 marathons in 50 days, in 50 different states.No one had done it. Many believed it couldn’t be done. But over 50 straight days, from Missouri to New York City, Dean ran 1,310 miles, turned skepticism into awe, and helped spark the modern endurance movement.For longtime runners, this is a return to the moment the legend was born. For everyone discovering Dean for the first time - welcome.
