Questions about meaning, consciousness and what happens when we die are as old as humanity, and they have not gone away. Brian Rose has spent more than a decade talking with biologists, authors, monks and teachers who approach these questions from very different starting points. Some try to bridge science and spirituality. Others draw on Hindu, Taoist and Christian traditions, the law of attraction or near-death experience. Guests share their own beliefs and practices. Every full interview is free to watch.
From best-selling author Dr Joe Dispenza and biologist Dr Rupert Sheldrake to developmental biologist Bruce Lipton, author Gregg Braden, Taoist Master Mantak Chia, Hindu priest and former monk Dandapani and author Dr John Demartini: where science, faith and inner practice meet.
Several guests argue that modern science and spiritual ideas are closer than most people think. Dr Joe Dispenza, who has joined London Real many times, explains how he believes people can rewire their brains and change their lives. Bruce Lipton argues that beliefs can influence how genes behave. Gregg Braden explores what he sees as evidence that humans are wired to be extraordinary. Biologist Rupert Sheldrake has long challenged mainstream science; in The Science Delusion he questions its assumptions, and in Ways To Go Beyond he looks at seven spiritual practices through a scientific lens. These are the guests’ own views, and many scientists dispute them.
Other guests speak from within living traditions. Dandapani, a Hindu priest who spent ten years as a monk, shares practical tools to raise consciousness and live with purpose. Mantak Chia, a Taoist Master, explains how he teaches people to cultivate energy, or qi, through Taoist practice. Sadhguru describes his idea of inner engineering, and Radhanath Swami talks about turning struggles into strengths. Spiritual teacher Marianne Williamson draws on A Course in Miracles, and philosopher Tim Freke discusses why spirituality comes with so much baggage and why curiosity matters.
Some conversations turn to purpose and mortality. Dr John Demartini argues that a clear purpose shapes a person’s destiny. Dr Joe Vitale, who appeared in The Secret, explains the law of attraction as he teaches it. Anita Moorjani describes the near-death experience she says changed her life, which she wrote about in Dying to Be Me. Stephen Jenkinson, who holds a Master’s degree in theology from Harvard, talks about the meaning of death and why he believes our culture avoids it. Accounts of healing in these episodes are personal stories, not medical advice.
