Episode 9 - Innovations in consciousness research with Nelson Abreu

​In this conversation I talk with Nelson Abreu about beneficial and limiting aspects of our cultural conditioning to applied consciousness research, the benefits of a scientific mindset, the nature of consciousness as part of the cosmic ecology, how technology can be used to develop greater self-awareness, and much more. Along the way we touch on a phenomena documented in Nelson’s latest edited book, where a person claims to have received a song from the extra physical John Lennon. Nelson kindly provided me with a copy of the song and I include it at the end of the conversation. So if you want to hear the song - performed by the man who received it - and make up your own mind if John Lennon is still writing music on the other side, stay tuned to the very end of this rich conversation.

I really resonated with this statement Nelson made during the conversation:
“The only thing I fear is to live a life, to look back and think, I didn’t do as much as I could.”
