Well, neuroscience doesn't tell us anything about that or much, let's say, about that at the moment. But that's why I'm probably going to write another book, which I said I would never do. But I'm just so fascinated by this. So when I get back to London, I'm going to start like properly doing the research on this. So far, it's being kind of something I'm interested in.

And I have to say, I wasn't sure if my book publisher would be okay with it.

And I think that it coming from a neuroscientist is a new angle. It's not that there aren't books out there on this kind of thing. But I really want to open up that conversation as well, because there's a lot of people suffering. And like I said, you can sound like you're crazy if you start talking about stuff like this.

I feel like what it says, and somebody said this to me actually the last time I was in LA, but it had to land really emotionally for me to believe it. And that's what I want for everyone, is it tells you that you are being guided and it tells you that you're safe and protected.
