Ep. 93: Dr. Anoop Kumar - Redefining Reality with an Emergency Physician

In today's episode, I'm happy to introduce you to Dr. Anoop Kumar. He is an emergency physician, mind-body strategist, speaker, and author. Anoop has a very unique way of describing things like consciousness, time, death, and reality in a way that I have never seen before. I was fascinated by his life and how his experience in the physical world as an emergency physician who has seen so much pain and loss and trauma was able to bridge with the other more esoteric side of him. He asks big questions like Who are we? What are we? And what the heck is going on here? These are questions that I know you have asked yourself too. These are the questions that we come face to face with after loss. After the death of my first husband I asked these questions and realized there is so much more to this world than we can think, or feel, or say. Dr. Kumar shares how these questions started forming for him and how the process of integrating these new realizations and understandings of the universe into his reality. As he puts it, he felt like he was walking the line between sanity and insanity.   "It's ok to question what we call reality. The stories we have been given in this modern culture are extremely narrow." ~ Dr. Anoop Kumar   We talk about how Dr. Kumar defines reality and why we should raise our standards about what we think is real. He also shares his extraordinary 3 minds framework, which is what he calls his attempt to explain the depth of the human experience. He talks about what he thinks when we die and why some souls reincarnate and others don't. Dr. Kumar's mind and understanding of the universe and what it means to be human is truly extraordinary. I hope you'll listen as he explains the differences between the first, second, and third minds, and how these show up on a societal level as well as individual.

He is an emergency physician, public speaker, author of Michelangelo's Medicine and Is This a Dream?, and a columnist for Emergency Medicine News. Anoop spent time in India and the United States as a child and grew to appreciate the differences between these cultures. He inadvertently began developing a framework for these differences when his parents exposed him to Advaita Vedanta, which soon became his playground. Against this backdrop, school seemed to be lacking something critical–in-depth knowledge of the nature of being human. This was the seed of Anoop's desire to communicate publicly. You can connect with him via his website, Instagram, and Twitter.
