Fascinating and insightful

I have been searching for a while for a discussion of the intersection between science and spirituality and this is by far the best I’ve found. Dr Cooke presents everything in a very thoughtful way, going deep into the science while challenging our natural intuitions and assumptions. The living mirror theory and his take on interdependence really resonate! I’m really grateful for this podcast and excited to see where it goes

Amazing conversation

This podcast is a great tool to understand the current theories on consciousness at the intersection of psychedelic medicine and neurosciences. Dr. James Cooke is demonstrating in this podcast how much of a luminary he is in these matters. Wow, great great podcast!
