The Scientist Who Saw the Other Side: Consciousness NDEs & Physics | Dr. Alex Gómez-Marín

🥰 Support TED and join the community on Patreon Dr. Alex Gómez-Marín enters the mind meld! Alex is a neuroscientist and physicist whose work dances at the edge of science and spirit. He’s the director of the Pari Center where he explores the frontiers of consciousness, cognition, and life itself. Alex has also had his own brush with the infinite — a near-death experience that further shattered his assumptions about mind, matter, and reality In this one, we navigate the mysterious terrain where neuroscience and physics meet metaphysics. We explore what his NDE revealed about the nature of consciousness, why materialism may be reaching its limits, and how physics might point toward a universe that is alive, aware, and participatory. Along the way, we dive into ancient and modern models of mind, from platonism to panpsychism. If you’ve ever felt that consciousness is more than neurons firing — that awareness is woven into the very fabric of reality — this one’s for you. Riffs include: -Alex’s near-death experience and how it changed his worldview -Consciousness, neuroscience, and the limits of materialism -Physics, metaphysics, and the living universe -The continuity of mind before and after death -Ancient philosophical echoes in modern science -Why the science of tomorrow must take consciousness seriously Links for Alex: Bio: https://paricenter.com/alex-gomez-marin/ X account: https://x.com/behaviOrganisms Links For Third Eye Drops 🌀 🥰 Support TED and join the community on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/thirdeyedrops Get access to our Youtube Member's Library: https://www.youtube.com/@THIRDEYEDROPS/membership Hear our 300-plus other podcasts: 🎧 Apple Podcasts: thirdeyedrops.com/itunes 🎧 Spotify: https://shorturl.at/ahnB1 🌀 Website https://www.thirdeyedrops.com ✌️Follow Michael on Instagram https://instagram.com/third_eye_drops Learn more about your ad choices.

Danny Goler  @dangothoughts  enters the mind meld 🥰 Support TED and join the community on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/thirdeyedrops In this one, we poke at the edges of reality’s operating system: simulation theory, consciousness, and the mysterious architectures that might underlie both. Danny Goler is a seeker, consciousness researcher, and the founder of "Project Veil Break" an effort aiming to illuminate the frontiers of human understanding by bridging science and spirituality through rigorous research. Together, we riff on: -Simulation theory and the mysterious code that might be hidden within the fabric of reality -The parallels between mystical experience and digital reality -Altered states and the architecture of the unseen -Science, physics and the true nature of reality -Idealist philosophy, platonism and more If you’re fascinated by the intersection of science, mysticism, and the nature of existence, this one is for you.

Andres is a consciousness researcher, mathematician, and President of the Qualia Research Institute (QRI), an organization that explores the structure of experience itself through a number of lenses. Their work dives into the geometry of consciousness, the structure and phenomenology of altered states, and the tantalizing possibility that the universe itself is built from qualia, the raw substance of direct experience. In this one, we traverse: -Entities, altered states and realms of consciousness. -Holographic consciousness: Is the universe a self-reflecting field of awareness? -Physics and phenomenology — Can conscious experience be measured geometrically and structurally? -The geometry of reality — How sacred patterns and mathematical beauty might underlie all experience. -UFOs, intelligence, and the living cosmos — Are we part of a grander field of minds and sentient geometry? Whether you lean mystical, mathematical or somewhere in between, this one will perk up your wonder whiskers.

Does he know a truth too big, too classified to say out loud? In 2022, CIA-linked physicist Dr. Hal Puthoff released a fascinating paper titled Ultraterrestrial Models, outlining several hypotheses for the origin of UFOs—ranging from ancient breakaway civilizations to time travelers and extradimensional beings. Puthoff himself has been involved in classified government programs for decades involving everything from psychic spying to alternative propulsion and UFOs directly. Clearly Hal knows a lot that he can't say. Could this paper be a glimpse of the hidden truth? Is he leaving us a trail of breadcrumbs to a truth too big, too classified to say out loud? In this video, I read through the paper with commentary and explore: – Why the ultraterrestrial hypothesis matters – The breakaway civilization theory – What Puthoff’s may be hinting at in this paper – The importance of John Keel – Where I think the evidence ultimately points Full Article: https://thejournalofcosmology.com/Puthoff.pdf Learn more about your ad choices.

🥰 Support TED and join the community on Patreon The great  RandallCarlson  enters the mind meld! [ Get your limited edition copy of Giordano Bruno and the Hermetic Tradition Here: https://tinyurl.com/brunoTED ] Are ancient megalithic structures evidence of an even older, more advanced breakaway civilization? Is this civilization the progenitor of ancient esoteric knowledge? Are they responsible for modern day UFO phenomena? Can we rediscover their lost sacred technologies? Randall Carlson joins me to muse about all of the above and more. Randall Carlson is a polymath, researcher, master builder, architectural designer, and 32nd degree Freemason. For decades he’s explored the mysteries of ancient civilizations, sacred geometry, megalithic architecture, symbolism, and esoteric traditions. Known for his deep dives into hidden history and lost knowledge, Randall weaves together science, mythology, and philosophy to uncover the wisdom encoded in our ancestors’ monuments and myths. His work challenges conventional timelines, asking whether advanced cultures once flourished and left behind a legacy of geometry, architecture, and cosmology that still shapes us today.
