In this conversation, Dr. James Cooke shares his insights on consciousness, drawing from his personal awakening experience and neuroscience background. He discusses the concept of non-duality, the relational nature of reality, and the role of the brain and body in consciousness. Dr. Cooke critiques dualistic perspectives and emphasizes that consciousness is a fundamental property of life, arising from the interactions between organisms and their environments. He further contrasts his view from the extremes of idealism/panpsychism and physicalism/reductionism, and asserts a non-dual, naturalistic understanding as the "middle way".We also delve into the intricate relationship between consciousness, object perception, and the interconnectedness of existence. Our dialogue transitions into spirituality, examining the nature of meaning and purpose in life, the nature of formless awareness, and concludes with reflections on karma and reincarnation, questioning the underlying principles that govern existence.If the insights from this episode sparked something within you, please subscribe, like, comment & share to help further spread this message!CHAPTERS0:00 Coming Up 2:20 Introduction to Consciousness and Mystical Experiences7:30 Exploring Non-Duality and Idealism12:30 The Nature of Reality and Object Perception18:01 Wave Function Collapse and Relational Quantum Mechanics24:38 Consciousness as a Fundamental Property of Life35:15 The Role of the Brain in Consciousness44:09 Exploring Object Perception and Consciousness47:48 Cognitive Light Cones and Awareness51:28 The Interconnectedness of Existence53:53 Spirituality and Meaning in Life1:11:35 Karma, Reincarnation, and the Nature of ExistenceJAMES' LINKS:* Youtube Channel (16.2k Subs): https://www.youtube.com/@DrJamesCooke* Personal Website: https://www.drjamescooke.com/* Inner Space Institute: https://www.innerspaceinstitute.org/* The Dawn of Mind Book: https://tinyurl.com/y5zt3vffQTP LINKS:* Website: www.quantumtheorypodcast.com* TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@quantumtheorypodcast* Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/quantumtheorypodcast/* Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3vrI0zd8hf7tGIU8sgwmA9?si=4caecc0c7f564310* Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/quantum-theory-podcast/id1780033559
