Like if this is all part of some sort of informational system, then is there still a God? Because I believe there is. Is there an afterlife? What actually happens when we die? And where do we go?

Gosh, it just does feel like the concept of a soul. But then that makes me wonder, if each of our souls or our individuated units of consciousness are always evolving, then does that mean that God is always evolving too? I mean, if we're all like little drops in the ocean and those droplets are growing and evolving, then... God would be, right?

Yeah, I love that. I guess with that in mind... How do ego and fear kind of obstruct the evolution of consciousness and what happens energetically and structurally when a being moves toward loves and away from fear?

What's so interesting to me is, you know, your theory doesn't just echo physics, right? But it echoes these like ancient wisdoms. We have to lay down our ego and make loving decisions with our free will in order to evolve. And actually, with that in mind, I would love you to discuss if there is free will. Is that a thing?

Are we living in a deterministic universe, or do we actually have agency over our lives?

So as far as your decision space, if you're a middle-class person and you get kicked out of your house, I might have six decisions spaces, right? Like move in with my parents or go find someone else to live or go live in a van and go across the country, right?

There might be like six things, but there's infinite opportunities you might not think of, like enroll in an astronaut program and go to Mars. Is that what you mean by that? Yeah, sure.

You know, some of your work really overlaps with these ancient spiritual traditions. And how do you see your theory of everything aligning or diverging from teachings like Buddhism or some of the indigenous ancient wisdoms or any Judeo-Christian faiths or even like Advaita, Vedanta and people like that?

And then before we segue into the next set of questions, I think it's important for you to discuss how you became an expert on consciousness. I know you were a physicist and you worked at NASA, but then you started working at a consciousness lab under Bob Monroe, which, you know, was the early stages of the Monroe Institute.

And in your book, you describe leaving your body and having conversations with others who are meditating in separate rooms. Can you talk more about those experiments?
