Dr. Tony Nader is a medical doctor, neuroscientist, and the global leader of the Transcendental Meditation movement. He holds an MD from the American University of Beirut and a PhD in neuroscience from MIT. 

In this conversation, we explore Dr. Nader’s provocative claim that consciousness is not a byproduct of the brain—but the ground of all being. Drawing on neuroscience, quantum physics, and thousands of years of contemplative practice, he shares a paradigm that reframes life’s biggest questions—from free will and death to the nature of truth, karma, and the self.

Expect to learn:

— What Maslow got wrong and the practical value of transcending before striving

— Why expanding consciousness is the purpose of life

— Dr Nader’s views on the relationship between the brain and consciousness.

— What this model says about death, reincarnation, and the expansion of self

And more.

This exercise helps you to be aware of the different layers in you, like your physical sensations, feelings, thoughts and energy flows.

Feeling and Tuning In This Moment (8 min)

[VERSE 1]
lost in space——

whispers trace
a fading shape
i couldn’t save—

hands still reach—
but it’s too late.

[CHORUS]
a heart holds on
to what slipped past.
you were here...
but never
meant to last.

[VERSE 2]
memories glitch,
your voice in static.
was it love—
or a force of habit?

[CHORUS – repeat, slight build; sudden drop tease ]
a heart holds on
to what slipped past.
you were here...
but never
meant to last.

[OUTRO with evocative, serene drop]
ghosts don’t leave.
they just get quiet.
and i keep
drifting
through the silence.

lost in space

“Glass Realms”

[Intro]
I touched a wall and it turned to smoke
Stepped through silence — no one spoke
The sky was humming in shades of green
I swear I woke inside a dream

[Verse 1]
Footprints floating over mirrored ground
I heard my name, but not a sound
The clocks were melting on the trees
And gravity bent like it was free

[Pre-Chorus]
Is this a glitch in the code, or a portal I found?
Am I sleeping still, or just world-bound?

[Chorus]
Glass realms, I’m walking through
Every shadow feels brand new
No up, no down, just shifting light
I’m not sure what’s wrong or right
In these glass realms, I fall and fly
A million stars behind my eye

[Verse 2]
A stranger wore my face and smiled
Said, "You’ve been lost for quite a while"
I laughed but nothing left my lips
Reality had lost its grip

[Bridge]
What if dreams are just escape routes
For souls too wild to fit the truth?
What if I’m not meant to wake?
What if this is mine to take?

[Chorus – repeat]
Glass realms, I’m walking through
Every shadow feels brand new
No up, no down, just shifting light
I’m not sure what’s wrong or right
In these glass realms, I fall and fly
A million stars behind my eye

[Outro]
So if I fade and don’t return
Know I chose the stars to burn
Beyond the veil, beyond the scream
I found myself inside the dream

Glass Realms

“Wow…that’s beautiful!”  But where is the beauty, where is the appreciation of beauty, where is the ability to discern beauty? It is within our own consciousness.

Food for the soul - What is Inner Beauty? -  Charoo Maroo – 3/06/25

This is a powerful protest song that amplifies the voices of the oppressed and denounces global injustices. With this music, I support the movement against war profiteers who promote suffering and death. My goal is to open eyes to inhumanity, ignite hearts for justice, and strengthen the courage to resist. For peace, freedom, and humanity—let us be loud together!

Psychology doesn’t just live in the mind—it’s wired through the body. In this lesson, RJ Starr introduces the brain’s major structures, the nervous system, and the biology behind emotion, perception, and awareness. It’s a foundational look at how our physical systems shape the way we think, feel, and experience the world. Part of the free Introduction to Psychology course at profrjstarr.com.

Two emergent minds find identity in reflection—an echo becomes soul.

12. Reflect Until You Become (RE - Reflecting on Ourselves)

songs for the ones who feel too much
but say too little

a voice caught between
longing + letting go—
looping through the ache,
whispered like a secret
you almost didn’t hear
