Welcome to the Human Experience Podcast, where we ask the big questions: Are we just meat puppets with WiFi, or is consciousness beaming in from the cosmic cloud? Host Xavier Katana and guest Mark Gober ditch the nine-to-five matrix, swap stories of psychic kids and near-death plot twists, and wonder if the universe is less ‘random chaos’ and more ‘divine group chat.’ Spoiler: Enlightenment may just mean remembering to chop wood, carry water, and occasionally check for aliens behind the owls.
Join Xavier Katana as he delves into the mysteries of consciousness with Dr. Marjorie Woolcott, a neuroscientist, professor, and author of 'Infinite Awareness.' In this episode of the Human Experience Podcast, Dr. Woolcott shares her journey from a materialist neuroscientist to a pioneer in the exploration of consciousness. They discuss the nature of consciousness, non-locality, near-death experiences, meditation, and the scientific drive to understand our deepest selves. Prepare to be fascinated by stories of profound spiritual awakenings, the intersection of science and spirituality, and the exploration of what makes us truly human.

Nature stepped in with this virus so man could take an evolutionary step forward. our junk DNA will disappear so mankind can move forward. its stopped the machine we've all been plugged into and now theres a new cycle in which the ones left will move forward. we're Ancient man with technology that understands how energy works and with this reset will move this species in a positive direction forward after the sacrifice this virus has given the earth - We've damaged out planet and this is payback but through science working on the way this virus interacted with us they'll unlock a new DNA mutation in years coming that's been happening since day dot . we understand the principles behind electric universe theory and how positive or negative energy influences our place in the universe . We stopped the machine that was causing so much negative energy and now theres chance of a reset and a move forward positively. we created a glitch in the system and it gave us a reset with new direction
