A New Way of Being
The Merging of Science and Spirituality | Donald Hoffman & Rupert Spira
05 May 2025
In this episode, I sit down with Rupert Spira and Don Hoffman — two people at the leading edge of exploring consciousness and reality — to unpack some of the biggest questions we can ask.We talk about why space-time might not be fundamental, whether matter is even “real,” and how consciousness could be the ground of everything.This conversation explores where science, philosophy and spirituality meet — and asks whether modern physics is finally catching up with what the great contemplative traditions have pointed to all along.Highlights include: Why space and time might be illusions The limits of trying to explain consciousness through the brain What maths might reveal about the nature of reality Whether our senses are showing us the world as it really is — or not at allGuests: Rupert Spira – Philosopher and spiritual teacher Don Hoffman – Cognitive scientist and author of The Case Against RealityThis one goes deep — but it’s well worth the ride.If you would like to explore more you can sign up for my free mini-course on embracing balance and finding flow: https://www.simonmundie.com/restore-balance-mini-courseOr get in touch about 1:1 conversations: https://www.simonmundie.com/restore-balance-coachingYouTube: https://tinyurl.com/YouTubeSimonMundieBook: https://www.simonmundie.com/bookWebsite: simonmundie.comSubstack Newsletter: https://simonmundie.substack.com/ Hosted on Acast.
