Episode 191 – Marjorie Woollacott – Infinite Awareness – Consciousness Beyond Biology

WE ARE BACK. 
What if everything neuroscience taught us about consciousness is wrong?
In this mind-expanding conversation, Dr. Marjorie Woollacott—a neuroscientist turned mystic—explains why the brain may not be the source of consciousness, but simply a receiver.
We talk meditation, NDEs, reincarnation, and what it means to be awareness itself.

Xavier Katana of the Human Experience Podcast interviews Dr. Marjorie Woolcott, a neuroscientist and author of ‘Infinite Awareness.’ Dr. Woolcott discusses her journey from a skeptical materialist neuroscientist to embracing a broader understanding of consciousness after a meditation retreat. They explore the idea that consciousness is fundamental and not solely a product of the brain, drawing on concepts from quantum physics and personal experiences of near-death and out-of-body phenomena. The conversation also touches on non-locality, the limitations of traditional neuroscience, the spiritual significance of experiences, and the cultural resistance to these ideas within academia. They conclude with reflections on the interconnected nature of consciousness and Dr. Woolcott’s contributions to the field through her various roles and publications.
