Neuroscientist: "Your Brain Doesn't Create Consciousness" — NDEs, Telepathy and Terminal Lucidity

About the conversation

🧠 THANK YOU FOR BEING A PART OF THE GIANT'S SHOULDER FAMILY Here is the full, ad free version of my conversation with Marjorie Woollacott. Marjorie Woollacott is a neuroscientist who spent three decades as a hard materialist and co-wrote the textbook used to train physiotherapists worldwide. After a meditation experience her own field said was impossible, she hid it from her colleagues for over 25 years. She now argues the brain does not produce consciousness — it filters it. Expect to learn: - The Secret: why a career materialist kept her own awakening hidden for 25 years - The Dentures: how a comatose patient described where a nurse had put his false teeth - Terminal Lucidity: why dying Alzheimer's patients can regain full clarity minutes before death - The Telepathy Tapes: the lab research into non-speaking autistic children who appear to communicate telepathically - Filter, Not Generator: how her view compares with Bernardo Kastrup's analytic idealism GS EPISODES MENTIONED Christof Koch - The Psychedelic Trip that Convinced Christof Koch Consciousness is Fundamental: https://youtu.be/kJlV-b2bvaE GUEST LINKS Website: https://marjoriewoollacott.com/ University of Oregon Faculty Page: https://ion.uoregon.edu/about/person-page/459 Infinite Awareness (Book): https://www.amazon.com/Infinite-Awareness-Awakening-Scientific-Mind/dp/144225033X Academy for the Advancement of Postmaterialist Sciences Bio: https://www.aapsglobal.com/marjorie-woollacott/ ResearchGate: https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Marjorie-Woollacott LISTEN ON Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/5m3Gta5MtIYdk59pb2GJ7M Apple - https://podcasts.apple.com/ie/podcast/the-giants-shoulder/id1752486249 SKOOL Want a full breakdown of your own conscious inner experience?
