What if your consciousness isn’t yours alone? In this thought-provoking episode, we explore the radical theory that individual awareness may be an illusion—and that what we call "self" is actually a localized expression of a single, unified consciousness.We dive deep into the binding problem in neuroscience, examine split-brain studies, and unpack theories from the philosophy of mind, including Derek Parfit’s personal identity arguments and Thomas Metzinger’s self-model theory. We then bridge these insights with non-dual contemplative traditions, from Advaita Vedanta to Mahayana Buddhism, and explore what neuroscience reveals about ego dissolution in meditation and psychedelics.Is consciousness a byproduct of the brain—or a fundamental feature of the universe? This episode challenges everything you thought you knew about who—or what—you are.
