In this episode of Rebel Spirit Radio, I welcome back Paul Levy, a pioneer in spiritual emergence, practitioner of Tibetan Buddhism, and author of several books, including his most recent publication, the revised and expanded The Quantum Revelation: Awakening to the Dreamlike Nature of Reality. Paul discusses the revolutionary insights from quantum physics, its implications on our understanding of reality, and how it intersects with spiritual traditions like Buddhism. He delves into the idea that we are living in a dreamlike universe influenced by our consciousness. Paul emphasizes the urgent need for humanity to recognize and embrace our intrinsic creative power to effect global transformation and avoid self-destruction. The conversation touches on deep philosophical questions, the interconnectedness of mind and matter, and the transformative potential of waking up to our true nature.

In this episode, I welcomes author, researcher, poet, and singer-songwriter Daniel Bourke to discuss his book Apparitions at the Moment of Death: The Living Ghost in Legend, Lyric and Lore. Daniel delves into the intriguing phenomenon of crisis apparitions—experiences where individuals sense or see the death of someone they are connected to, even from a distance. Drawing on his extensive research across cultures and history, Daniel sheds light on these mysterious occurrences and their profound impact on those who experience them. He also shares some spellbinding historical accounts and examines the broader implications for our understanding of consciousness and the human condition. This is a thought-provoking conversation that explores the intersection of philosophy, parapsychology, and the unexplained aspects of human experience.

Greetings! I'm Dr. Nick Mather, host of Rebel Spirit Radio. I have been studying philosophy and religion for over 25 years. I have a B.A. in Philosophy, an M.A. in Religious Studies, and Ph.D. in Philosophy and Religion. Before starting on this journey, I worked as a writer for a small family-owned newspaper in a little mountain town in the foothills of Pike's Peak. I decided to create Rebel Spirit Radio so I could utilize my background in journalism and breadth of knowledge in the world's wisdom traditions to bring you credible information and engaging conversations with writers, artists, educators, and spiritual leaders to help nurture your rebel spirit.

Nick Mather, Ph.D.
