Today's guest is Angelo Dilullo, the creator of Simply Always Awake and author of the book Awake: It's Your Turn. When I've read about very enlightened or realized beings, I always wonder what it must feel like to experience reality through their eyes. What is the texture of the inner experience? This was one reason I was thrilled to have Angelo on the show to get the background of his journey and understand what his current experience feels like. Angelo does a fantastic job outlining the awaken...

Mark is a newer author in the consciousness space, having published 5 books in the last 4 years including An End To Upside Down Thinking which compiles the most emergent science and countless anecdotes to make the case for consciousness creating reality. In this conversation, we touch upon Mark's journey which shares many overlaps with my own. We both got to a deep passion for exploring consciousness from what sometimes feels like the most unlikely of places: being student-athletes at Princeton ...

There have been many big shifts in my life over the past 5 years. Without a doubt, one of the biggest ones has been moving away from a militant allegiance towards logic and reason, into a more inclusive paradigm that incorporates and prioritizes intuition. In this conversation, we touch on a lot of this literature, historical examples, and how intuition emerges. One thing that is very congruent with my own experience that Theresa touches upon is how self-awareness and inner healing go hand in ha...

Life is a series of transitions. This truth is something I've increasingly realized on my consciousness journey. I once thought there was a destination to get to. At first, this was becoming a wildly successful entrepreneur and then an enlightened being. I now see that there are no endpoints and that the process of evolution is one that continues to infinity. Inherently, this means we will need to continuously reinvent ourselves and I believe this is something we can learn to do with greater ski...

Sean Reagan is a teacher of A Course In Miracles and today's guest on EvolutionFM. Like many of us, Sean had tried following many other pathways from Buddhism to Catholicism to have more persistent peace and joy in his life. Eventually, he stumbled across A Course In Miracles and things shifted in an amazing way. The book was created by Helen Schulman from 1965 to 1972 via a direct channeling from Jesus Christ according to the author ( source ). Ironically, the author was an atheist psychologist...

Now that I'm going to be a parent soon, I can't help but wonder about how all this technology is going to impact my kiddo? And what can I do about it to help them be happy, heathy, and prosperous? I recently discovered the work of Sara Filipcic who spent years studying the impact of technology on children and now has started a new company to help improve the situation called BeHumane . Her research painted somewhat of a dire picture that made it clear that we as a society need to do something ab...

The nervous system is the lens through which you experience the world. This quote really hit home for me from this weeks episode with Jonny Miller , founder of Nervous System Mastery and the Curious Humans Podcast and blog. The nervous system seems to be intimately related to energy in our bodies. As electrical beings, this shouldn't come as a massive surprise. I wanted to learn more about this which is why I was very excited to have Jonny who is a nervous system expert on the show. I've learned...

It's abundantly clear that we are experiencing a massive increase in consciousness amongst our respective societies and cultures. Many spiritual people get very enthusiastic about discussing the "global awakening" or "move to the fifth dimension," though I have no idea about the reality of these things. I am just genuinely excited that it appears more people are interested in the inner path to greater levels of peace, joy, creativity, and wisdom that comes with the expansion of consciousness. Wi...

Did you know every mammal including humans produces DMT naturally in their bodies? The same can be said for 1,000's of plants. I wanted to make sure you knew this before anyone wrote this off as a psychedelics or "drugs" conversation which is often the cultural association with DMT. Right now there is a massive disconnect between mystical experiences and the world of Science. The gap is closing, but it often still feels like there's these two camps who speak in different languages. What we need ...

Let me start off by saying, I have zero interest in participating in what many call the transhuman movement. Specifically, implanting some type of technology into my body in order to alter or enhance the way in which I experience the world. That being said, I do think it's important to understand what is going on. This is clearly going to be a thing in our lifetimes that will vastly impact culture and society and I'd rather be informed. A few weeks ago someone had recommended Singularity Weekly ...

It can be quite frustrating to be experiencing something unfamiliar that our medical system doesn't have an answer for. Unfortunately, I know from experience as documented here ! This is very common with many "spiritual", "mystical", "energetic", etc. experiences and effects, that are often referred to as emergent phenomena . A few months ago, I was delighted to discover the The Emergent Phenomenology Research Consortium . The EPRC is a group of 180+ researchers, scientists, medical, therapy and...

This episode dives into the topic of achievement and how we can approach the art of "happily achieving" Its funny - a lot of us are really quick to ask ourselves what we want without ever asking what we're willing to give up for that which is a much greater predictor of whether will get those things and enjoy the process along the way. This episode is a bit all over the place, but Mark shares some mindsets that have helped him in his own entrepreneurial journey in growing one of the largest self...
