And no one can figure it out in a laboratory, no matter how many brain scans they do.

They can't figure out like, where is consciousness?

Like,

Yeah, certain parts of the brain kind of light up when certain things kind of happen, but no one has come any closer over the last 50 years of doing MRIs and brain scans to figure out how consciousness works.

Because I believe that consciousness is our spiritual immaterial reality and that it is...

harnessed to our physical bodies and we get 80, 90 years, if we're lucky, and these slough off and then our consciousness, soul, spirit, whatever you wanna call it, continues.

So to me, that's what it's about.

And it's a reframing that,

when i greet someone when i connect with someone and i think most people do this like i'm looking at the light in their eyes you know i'm looking at their divine qualities of peace and harmony and and love and and patience and uh and and service to one another and compassion and that's the dance that i'm interested most in doing and and in connecting with people

Well, one thing I want to say, and there might be a lot of people rolling their eyes right now that work in the medical industry.

And I know you have a lot of different kinds of viewers, but I do believe, and this is a fundamental belief of my faith, the Baha'i faith, is that science and faith are both parts of one reality.

And that

You can't have faith and spirituality without science.

And science has to be respected and it's real.

And it's a way of organizing information.

And it's also a way of exploring information.

And it has to do with what makes the physical world work.

But there is this other aspect of being a human being.

Like you talked about having a thought, about having a consciousness.

So, yeah, I mean, for me, a meditation practice has been really key.
