Episode 38: Morphic Resonance Theory and the Universal Life Force with Rupert Sheldrake, PhD
Expanding on Consciousness
What is the premise of the Morphic Resonance Theory? The lower laws of nature are more like habits. Meaning, each species has a type of collective memory, the collective unconscious so to speak, not just a memory of behavior like instinct, but also a form. For example, when a cabbage grows, it's tapping into a collective cabbage memory, a memory of form. This understanding in general isn’t a new concept. However, what Dr. Sheldrake’s theory also suggests is there's a resonance between similar self-organizing systems across space and time. Morphic resonance is a holistic theory. It...

Episode 37: Conscious awareness is the most fundamental level of the universe with Dr. Stuart Hameroff
Expanding on Consciousness
Well known for his controversial work with quantum theorists Roger Penrose, Dr. Hameroff suggests that consciousness originates in quantum states, and then interacts with neural microtubules indicating that the brain actually still has something to do with consciousness while at the same time, introducing the idea that quantum field theory holds that consciousness is fundamental and exists outside of the brain.“ When I learned about microtubules, back at Hahnemann in 1972. I wondered, how they knew where to go and what to do and what was their organizing principle? Did they have...

Episode 35, Part 2: A New Science of Heaven with Robert Temple
Expanding on Consciousness
The information Robert Temple reveals in this episode has the potential to kick our beliefs about “the heavens”— the sun, moon, stars, and space itself—into radical revision. Modern physics addresses only the world of matter, excluding the greater reality. The developing science of plasma physics reveals that the heavens are made not of atoms, but of subatomic plasma. Our sun: plasma. The stars: plasma. Space: plasma. 99.99% of the universe is actually plasma, the fourth state of matter from which gas, liquid and solids emerge. From this basic premise things get wild beyond prior...

Episode 34, Part 1: Megaliths, Pyramids and Secrets of the Sphinx, with Robert Temple
Expanding on Consciousness
Prepare to re-evaluate everything you thought you knew about these ancient monuments, and so much more! Author, professor, deep researcher and self-proclaimed “arch skeptic of traditional thinking” Robert Temple shares his provocative reinterpretations of how and why they came to be, and how they’ve been used—and abused—at various times in history. Discrepancies in dating are often ignored, and manipulation or misinterpretation of new evidence protects ancient Egyptology's status quo. The pyramids at Giza are said to have been built by slaves using ropes and ramps to haul tons of...

Episode 33: Part 2 with Dr. Theresa Bullard—Kaballah, Creation, and Taking The Quantum Leap
Expanding on Consciousness
Why does the Law of Attraction often not “deliver the goods"? Is there a better map for this journey? Continuing from Part 1, Dr. Bullard brings further clarity to the high art and deep science of physical manifestation. Foundations must be built before you add the roof to your Temple of the Self. Introspection and subconscious cleansing are a good start. Pop culture encourages self-entitlement and gratification. Learn to discern positive, balanced ego from narcissism and direct your focus into the collective higher good. We each contribute to all that happens through the quantum field....

Our guest considers it her primary role to remind us that the power resides within. Dr....

Episode 31: How NDE Research Led to Deconstructing the Link Between the Mind and Brain with Dr. Bruce Greyson
Expanding on Consciousness
Dr. Bruce Greyson is Professor Emeritus of Psychiatry and Neurobehavioral Sciences at the University of Virginia and author of several books on near-death experiences (NDEs).In this podcast, we look into themes commonly present during NDEs, such as: faster and clearer thinking a diminished sense of time overwhelming feelings of peace, wellbeing and joy awareness of cosmic unity new sounds & colors, and visions of the future that often come to pass. These phenomena lead to a deconstruction of the concept that the brain and mind are inexplicably linked. An NDE slows the brain, while the mind...

Episode 30: Part 2—Consciousness, Fate and A String of Meaningful Coincidences with Dr. Raymond Moody

Ego trip as a “good tool for self understanding.” Consciousness is both knowledge-based and intuitive. These are a few of the topics in episode 30 part 2 with Dr. Raymond Moody. Fate and consciousness—Dr. Moody recalls a string of meaningful coincidences where synchronicity abounds. Next he moves on to psychomanteums and ancient Greece. Do we live in several planes at once? The common sense theory: “Common sense draws a very sharp impermeable line between life [this life] and death.” Explore. What motivates Dr. Moody is things that don’t make sense and the profound spiritual...

Episode 29: Part 1—The Potential That Exists Beyond the Physical with Dr. Raymond Moody
Expanding on Consciousness
In part 1 of our conversation with Dr. Raymond Moody, we discuss what potential exists beyond the physical, and is there such a thing as a precise moment of death—or is it more a waning of “residual biological activity in the body on the atomic level?” After years of researching near-death experiences (NDE), Dr. Moody found common patterns existing among people who’ve experienced them. For example, an out-of-body experience (OBE) commonly occurs during an NDE. They also report feeling comforted, at peace and in a state of...
info_outlineIn this episode of Expanding on Consciousness, host, Mark Certo, discusses energy healing with Lisa VanOstrand, Dr. Of Medical Qigong, former Dean of Advanced Studies at the Barbara Brennan School of Healing, Core Energetics Therapist, and Clairvision Practitioner.
Lisa shares her personal path to becoming an energy healer with a particular focus on her working with Barbara Brennan School of Healing techniques. In her presentation on how energy healing works, Lisa shares that “it's not about me healing your condition, it's about you healing your condition, this is your path. This is your journey, I'm your witness and your ally and your support, but it's really all about you”.
Along with the aspects of healing that Lisa shares an understanding of she also suggests that “we could never really, totally understand why something is happening. There is our ordinary mind that wants to plan, that wants to understand. Then there is the divine mind that is operating at a higher level that we could not possibly understand.” Expanding beyond personal healing, Lisa elaborates on how we can heal society and larger planetary systems. “What are we doing for the ancestry, not just the past, but also for the future? And, how can we just stop and consider how we can leave the world in a better place for our ancestry.”
