In this episode, host Dr Brendan and guest neuroscientist Dr Kieran Fox explore the intersections of Albert Einstein's spirituality and scientific thought through the lens of Fox's book, 'I am a part of infinity.' The conversation weaves through Einstein's pacifism, his admiration for Gandhi, and the merging of science with spiritual principles like monism and non-dualism. Discussions touch on the complexities of cosmology, the human mind, and the universe, discussing the universality of laws, and the potential of meditation to tap into subconscious energies.

The dialogue further explores the relationship between physical beings and the universe, including channeling knowledge and the balance between personal truths and empirical knowledge. Moreover, the episode delves into the burgeoning field of psychedelics research, highlighting the potential for mental health treatments and the societal impacts observed from the psychedelic sixties. Ultimately, the episode underscores a holistic approach to understanding the universe and advocates for integrating empirical science with spiritual practices for profound self-realization.
