Consciousness in a Nutshell with Authors Jay and Lindy Nelson
Episode description
Today’s episode epitomizes my favorite kind of conversation, it’s that sweet space where science and woo comingle. We are talking about consciousness, and it is becoming feasible that science, in my lifetime, or at least the lifetime of my grandkids, will unravel this age old mystery.
Jay and Lindy Nelson began writing their book, Consciousness in a Nutshell five years ago. It reads like the college textbook I wish I’d had, written in an approachable, raw, scientifically and anecdotally grounded fashion I would’ve loved. I can’t recommend it highly enough.
This delicious conversation goes from the underpinnings of consciousness, altered states of consciousness and how they rewire the default brain functions that keep us from making deep and life changing connections. We get into the tandem dreams I and my eldest had the night before my father died, NDEs, Joseph Campbell, and more. Take the time to give it a listen and look for the book wherever you love buying books!
