Chasing Consciousness Podcast - The curious person’s guide to all things mind. By Freddy Drabble
Have you ever wondered how it is that your thoughts and feelings relate to the brain in your head? How time and space came to be out of nothing? How what life means to us influences our day-to-day struggles with mental health? In conversation with experts in physics, psychology, neuroscience and philos

ophy, we'll take you to the very fringes of reality and unpack the groundbreaking discoveries that are dramatically changing the way we relate to the world, the future and our own minds.

The extraordinary architectures and entities reported in DMT experiences, are made even more remarkable by their repeatability across large percentages of reports. We discuss the significance of these commonalities across decades and different places, often in the absence of any primer that might have planted the utterly unique image in their mind prior to the experince, with psychedelic researcher David Wyndham in Episode #73.

What is the reality of psychedelic DMT realms? The repeatability of the architectures and entity experiences in the scientific studies suggests that they are at least consistent across experiences. But as McKenna pointed out, it may be a naive question. As William James pointed out, how can dream reality or waking reality have any privilege over one another as more "real". We discuss all this and much more in Epsiode #73 on DMT Entities with researcher Dr. David W Lawrence.

What are we sleeping less and less? What are the benefits of getting a good nights sleep and the risks if we consistently don’t? How is sleep linked to memory, cognitive performance, blood sugar regulation & stress hormones? How is young people’s development affected by sleep? We discuss all this and much more regarding sleep as the most important mental and physical health life-style marker of all, with Sleep psychologist and neuroscientist at the University of Minnesota, Roxanne Prichard. Let me know what you think.Listen to the full episode here:

The sleep component of the three crucial life-style medicines we're covering in Series 5 (sleep, diet & exercise), appears to be the most important in terms of mental and physical health; it's accessible in terms of us having control over it, like diet and exercise; but (a little tongue in cheek) the easiest of the three to activate, argues sleep researcher Roxanne Prichard in Episode #71! We discuss this and the importance of sleep to mental and physical health in general in the full interview here: https://www.chasingconsciousness.net/episode-71-roxanne-prichard-the-sleep-deprivation-epidemic

Can intention alone cause changes in physical systems? Can the collective attention of a large group of people to an event cause changes in physical systems, despite that lack of intention to do so? We discuss all this and much more in Episode #71 with psychologist and director of the long running Global Consciousness project, Roger Nelson. Let me know what you think.

The Global Consciousness Project’s data during the 9/11 attacks showed the single most coherent effect in the history of the project. Roger Nelson hypothesises that the cause was the simultaneous attention of billions of people at exactly the same time, combined with the strong emotion of horror and compassion. We discuss this and other emotional events that cause a coherence in the otherwise random number generators, like Princess Diana’s funeral. Again, regardless of the mechanism behind these effects, something interesting is causing this coherence.

The results of the Global Consciousness Project’s network of random number generators (R.N.G.s) around the world show a clear coherence (departure from randomness) during influential world events that large amounts of people are paying attention too simultaneously. Regardless of the mechanism behind these effects, something is causing this coherence. This has given rise to the director of the project and my guest in Episode #71, Roger Nelson, following the ideas of his mentor Dean of Engineering at Princeton Bob Jahn, theorising a ‘field’ theory of consciousness that in some way extends beyond the bodies of all conscious creatures to create a field - a truly alternative understanding of collective consciousness.

How much can a change in diet influence symptoms of mental health disorders? Why are a diversity of plants and whole foods so important to include, and ultra processed foods so important to remove? Why are inflammation and microbe diversity in the gut so key this question? What does this research mean for the life-style medicine movement and to world food policy? We discuss all this and much much more with the founder of the international society of nutritional psychiatry and director of the Mood Food lab in Australia, Felice Jacka in episode #70 on the link below. let me know what you think?

The Smiles trial results, published in 2017, confirmed Felice Jacka’s earlier correlatory studies in a trial with treatment resistant depression participants. The huge effect was confirmed to be three times more effective than psycho therapy, and interestingly was directly proportional to the degree to which diet was altered. Another interesting finding was that it didn’t cost more than their original ultra processed diet. Check the full interview here:

The profit motive of the industrialised food industry is driving human and planetary health decline, as described here by the founder of the international society of nutritional psychiatry and director of the Mood Food lab in Australia, Felice Jacka. Check out episode #70 on the link below to hear about the extraordinary damage being done to mental and physical health by the proliferation of ultra processed foods in western populations, and the extraordinary results when that diet is changed.
