Are Transcendental Experiences Proof of God? Dr. James B. Glattfelder on Consciousness, Spiritually & The Amazing Intelligence of the Universe

Are Aliens Just an Extension of Our Consciousness? Are psychedelics the only way to tap into a higher state of consciousness? Dr. James B. Glattfelder on the Transcendental Multiverse, Psychedelics, and the Fight for Meaning What if communicating with aliens isn’t “out there”, but deep within? In this mind-expanding episode of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, Dr. James B. Glattfelder, complexity scientist, metaphysical idealist, former quant, and author, dives deep into the true nature of consciousness, the limits of traditional physics, and the emergence of meaning in our increasingly fractured world. From psychedelic dimensions and the “transcendental multiverse” to the hidden role of identity in societal collapse, Dr. Glattfelder explores: - Why modern physics hits a wall when explaining consciousness, and why the pendulum is swinging back toward spiritual and philosophical truth - Whether alien contact during DMT trips is actually us tapping into a wider field of consciousness - Why he believes we live in a transcendental multiverse, and how you can train yourself to explore it - His personal experiences with psychedelics, and why he thinks they should be a last resort for accessing higher states - Natural ways to stimulate DMT production without substances - Potential mental health benefits of THC - Alternative modalities that lead to non-dual states and expanded awareness - Dangers of cosmic nihilism in today’s spiritual seeking - Why identity is at the root of our collective dysfunction - Whether everyone should have access to higher consciousness, or if it’s best left to the few - Why exploring your consciousness has the radical power to transform your life - Delicate balance between intuition, metaphysical signs, and grounded presence - Neuroscience vs philosophy: Why brain damage sometimes unlocks new genius abilities - How religion served humanity before it was weaponized, and what’s next - Why we suffer, even if there’s a loving intelligence behind everything - The real cure for our crisis of meaning? A return to re-enchantment with reality - Why so many plants have psychedelic properties, and what that says about consciousness itself This conversation will shake the foundations of what you believe is real!

Part Two: Access Your Divine Intelligence! Dr. Bernardo Kastrup Provides a Mind-Expanding Explanation of Consciousness that Leads You to Higher Meaning

Is Everything You Know About Reality…Wrong? What Is Consciousness & How Does It Shape Our Reality?? In this mind-expanding episode of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, Dr. Bernardo Kastrup (Executive Director of the Essentia Foundation, CEO of AI company Euclyd B.V., and the leading voice behind the modern renaissance of metaphysical idealism) explores the BIGGEST questions humans have ever asked, like: - What is the true nature of reality? - What happens when we die? - Is consciousness more fundamental than matter? - Does love actually matter? - Is suffering necessary, or just misunderstood? - Could reality be mental at its core, and not physical? If you've ever questioned what science can’t explain, like supernatural experiences, deep emotional pain, or why the placebo effect can shrink tumors and reduce the need for surgery, this episode will blow your mind. Dr. Kastrup reveals: - Why physicalism fails to explain human experience - How cosmopsychism gives us the tools to connect across political & cultural divides - Why cancer may be partly a mental phenomenon - How psychedelics model death - The spiritual purpose of menopause (yes, really!) - The loss of meaning as the real threat to humanity - How the universe mimics biological networks (and why that matters) - Why tinnitus became a spiritual journey of awakening for him - Shocking power of the mind-body connection to heal or harm - How addiction, capitalism, and overstimulation pull us away from life’s deeper truth - Danger of identifying with your narrative self - Why science isn’t enough to explain life’s biggest mysteries, and never will be - Plus: Why Bernardo rarely does interviews anymore…and what made him say yes to this one. If you've ever felt that there’s more to life than what we see, this episode is for you.

PART TWO: Why 3I/Atlas, an Approaching Comet, Could Carry Alien Technology, Why Your Spirituality Doesn’t Conflict with Extraterrestrials, & Why UAPs are A National Security Concern

Aliens Incoming?! Harvard Scientist Dr. Avi Loeb reveals the astronomy behind why 3I/Atlas could cancel your Halloween plans… On October 29th, just two days before Halloween, a mysterious interstellar object 3I/ATLAS is set to make a highly unusual approach to our sun and it’s raising MAJOR red flags! Could this be a disguised alien mothership on a secret surveillance mission to Earth? The trajectory coincidences are so bizarre, they defy all known statistics. In this explosive episode of Mayim Bialik’s Breakdown, Dr. Avi Loeb (Harvard professor, astrophysicist, and bestselling author of Interstellar: The Search for Extraterrestrial Life and Our Future in the Stars) dives deep with Mayim & Jonathan into what 3I/ATLAS might really be…and how it ties into everything we thought we knew about life beyond Earth. Dr. Avi Loeb also breaks down: - Did the U.S. Government recover four types of alien biological entities from UAP crash sites? - Evidence that human life may have been engineered by another species - Was Mars home to life before Earth? - The chilling reason you should NEVER shake an alien’s hand - Why Loeb says extraterrestrial life is a national security issue - The new “Loeb Scale” to evaluate interstellar object encounters - Why the discovery of alien life could be the only thing that unites humanity - His urgent call for a global organization to defend Earth against threats like aliens, AI, and climate change - The plan to build a DNA ark using artificial intelligence — a “Noah’s Ark” for Earth’s survival! - How science and spirituality can coexist, and why believing in aliens shouldn't conflict with faith - Why the hidden black holes theory doesn’t prove the multiverse - How we can finally pressure governments to reveal the truth about extraterrestrials Whether you’re a skeptic, a believer, or just curious about all things alien, this is the video you can’t afford to miss.

Part Two: The Rise of Cancel Culture, Distrust in Science & Misinformation: Dr. Steven Pinker Reveals The Hidden Psychology That Threatens Society.

The Rising Risks of Cancel Culture & The Psychology & Language That Built It! In this explosive episode of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, Dr. Steven Pinker (renowned Harvard psychologist and author of When Everyone Knows That Everyone Knows) joins Mayim Bialik and Jonathan Cohen for a no-holds-barred conversation that quickly turns into a fiery debate on the limits of science, belief, and human consciousness. From the hidden mechanics of social dynamics and language to the perils of thought policing and cancel culture, Dr. Pinker dives deep into how shared knowledge shapes society, why what people think others believe can shift power, and how social media became a modern-day coliseum for public shaming. But the sparks really fly when Mayim and Jonathan challenge Pinker’s staunchly materialist worldview — questioning whether extrasensory perception (ESP), near death experiences (NDEs), and higher consciousness might point to something beyond the reach of scientific instruments. Pinker doesn’t hold back, offering his sharply skeptical takes on mystical claims and pushing back against spiritual notions with cool-headed logic. Dr. Pinker also breaks down: - Why what others think of us actually matters - Dangers of being too direct or too indirect — especially for neurodivergent folks - How to create or hide common knowledge in relationships - The first case of cancel culture on social media (and its ancient roots!) - The thin line between freedom of speech and incitement to violence - How distrust in science fuels conspiracy theories - Can we depoliticize science? Or is it already too late? - The danger of defunding academic research - Why authoritarian regimes fear open communication - The healthcare system: overprescription, profit motives, and how to fix it - Is free will real? Or are we just dancing to the tune of biology and environment? Don’t miss MBB's first-ever toe-to-toe spiritual showdown between Mayim, Jonathan, and a die-hard materialist. Whether you lean scientific, spiritual, or somewhere in between, this conversation will challenge what you think you know about reality.

Can You Really Talk to Animals and the Dead?

Ditte opens up about the exact moment she discovered she could communicate with animals telepathically, the 3 ways she experiences telepathy (and how you might be doing it too without realizing it), and how she protects herself energetically while tuning into animals and spirits. She also shares how she helps frustrated pet parents solve behavioral issues through deep animal communication, and how her neurodivergent, nonverbal son expanded her abilities—they now communicate telepathically every day.

She also breaks down: - Her clairvoyant school training and how she mastered her extrasensory gifts - Her advice for parents of nonverbal children who want to connect beyond words - The moment a horse told her she was pregnant—before she even knew herself - Why tuning into pets' health issues can be so draining—and what she does to recover - Communicating with deceased animals: what it feels like and what they share from the other side - The truth about whether animal communication is really just therapy for humans - The biggest questions your pet wants you to ask—and what they’re likely trying to tell you - Why lasting behavioral change in animals is the ultimate proof of her abilities - The difference between communicating with pets, people, and spirits - And what our beloved pets are REALLY doing after they cross over If you've ever wondered what your pet is thinking, if they’re okay in the afterlife, or whether you might secretly have the gift of telepathy, this episode is for you.Prepare to open your mind and heart because Ditte Young, the animal communicator the world is talking about, is about to show you what’s possible.

Part Two: Former CIA Spies on America’s Decline, The Potential of WW3, & What’s Really Happening Behind the Scenes in the US Government

What’s REALLY Going On Behind the Scenes of the CIA, the Media, and the U.S. Government? On Mayim Bialik’s Breakdown, former CIA agents and intelligence officers Andrew & Jihi Bustamante (creators of the EverydaySpy podcast, authors of Shadow Cell: An Insider Account of America’s New Spy War & popular guests on Diary of a CEO & The Joe Rogan Experience) pull back the curtain in this explosive, no-holds-barred conversation. From the moment you marry a spy (can you ever truly trust your partner?) to the shocking 4 categories of lies the CIA teaches—Mayim & Jonathan dive deep into the secretive world of espionage, national security, and the collapse of trust in modern institutions. Andrew and Jihi break down the shrinking middle class caused by American politics post-Trump, what it means for our future, whether the U.S. is moving closer to dictatorship (and if so, can we stop it?), and why the wealthy elite are leaving the U.S. (and which countries they’re fleeing to). These whistleblowers expose what the CIA doesn’t want you to know: - The 4 categories of lies every CIA officer is trained to tell - The agency’s current use of psychics and Cold War-era remote viewing programs - The loneliness and psychological toll of living a covert life - How the news & media is manipulated—and why even “trusted” outlets are failing us - Post-Trump politics: is the U.S. sliding toward dictatorship or already in it? - Why wealthy elites are fleeing America (and where they’re going) - The global fallout if a U.S. president is jailed, and what it means for our standing - The CIA’s take on Israel, rising global conflicts, and the risk of world war - How AI is dehumanizing warfare and reshaping the battlefield - Why Epstein’s case continues to expose cracks in our institutions Andrew and Jihi also reveal how influence, persuasion, and dialogue can still be used productively—even in a fractured society. From Venezuela’s collapse as a warning sign to the everyday challenge of separating real news from propaganda, this is more than an interview—it’s a wake-up call.

These whistleblowers expose what the CIA doesn’t want you to know: - The 4 categories of lies every CIA officer is trained to tell - The agency’s current use of psychics and Cold War-era remote viewing programs - The loneliness and psychological toll of living a covert life - How the news & media is manipulated—and why even “trusted” outlets are failing us - Post-Trump politics: is the U.S. sliding toward dictatorship or already in it? - Why wealthy elites are fleeing America (and where they’re going) - The global fallout if a U.S. president is jailed, and what it means for our standing - The CIA’s take on Israel, rising global conflicts, and the risk of world war - How AI is dehumanizing warfare and reshaping the battlefield - Why Epstein’s case continues to expose cracks in our institutions Andrew and Jihi also reveal how influence, persuasion, and dialogue can still be used productively—even in a fractured society. From Venezuela’s collapse as a warning sign to the everyday challenge of separating real news from propaganda, this is more than an interview—it’s a wake-up call.

Re-Air: Kel Mitchell: No Mistakes, Just Lessons

In honor of National Suicide Prevention Month, we are revisiting our episode with Kel Mitchell. Kel Mitchell (All That, Kenan & Kel, Good Burger, author of Blessed Mode: 90 Days to Level Up Your Faith) joins us to discuss his early career as a 90’s Nickelodeon star and the major life events that shaped him into a youth pastor and the man of faith he is today. He details his class clown and theatre beginnings, finding his comedy partner in Kenan Thompson, and the impact of the diversity shown on All That. Kel draws comparisons between his childhood in the southside of Chicago where he lost loved ones to gun and gang violence and the trauma young celebrities face in Hollywood. He discusses getting married at an early age and dealing with anxiety stemming from confusion over whether people loved him for his comedy characters or his true self. Kel opens up about his suicide attempt, how his faith led him to pursue a path toward mental wellness, and his journey to becoming a youth pastor. Mayim and Kel consider the mental health impact of living in communities touched by violence and intergenerational trauma.

Top Neuroscientist's New Research on After Death Communication: Dr. Tara Swart’s Exploration of Consciousness, Intuition & Extra-Sensory Abilities

Can You REALLY Talk to the Dead? MIT Neuroscientist Dr. Tara Swart Says Yes—And Brings the Science to Prove It What happens when one of the world’s leading MIT neuroscientists, Dr. Tara Swart (Senior Lecturer at MIT Sloan and author of THE SIGNS: The New Science of How to Trust Your Instincts) loses her husband and begins receiving undeniable messages from the beyond? In this groundbreaking episode of Mayim Bialik’s Breakdown, Dr. Tara Swart opens up about her journey from respected neuroscientist and leadership advisor to spiritual explorer after the sudden loss of her husband, Robin. Known globally for her work on neuroplasticity, brain science, and intuition, Dr. Swart reveals how grief led her to a profound awakening: vivid dreams, ancestral connections, angel numbers, and even a visitation she refuses to dismiss as hallucination. She blends her rigorous background in neuroscience with her lived experience, challenging us to rethink the boundaries between science and spirituality. Dr. Tara Swart breaks down: - Neuroscience of Intuition: How to train your brain to tune into instincts and signs - Near Death Experiences (NDEs) and why the brain may be filtering out reality - Grief and trauma in the body: Why talk therapy alone isn’t enough - The surprising link between creativity, movement, and trauma healing - Why altered states of consciousness don’t require drugs - The health benefits of ancestral healing and spiritual connection - Why beauty acts as a healing frequency for the brain - The thin line between mental illness and genius - Why she believes in angel numbers—and how they’ve shaped her decisions - Her most radical theory: Consciousness may not live in the brain at all This isn’t just another conversation on neuroscience. Dr. Tara Swart pushes us to expand the limits of what it means to be human by merging brain science, spirituality, and the mysteries of consciousness into a powerful roadmap for life after loss, trauma, and fear.

Top 5 Ways to Thrive Not Survive! How Meditation, Somatic Work & Building Interpersonal Trust Can Dramatically Improve How You Feel Each Day w/ Dan Harris

Exclusive Substack Release! We originally posted this episode to our Substack Breakers ONLY and we thought it was time we shared with YOU! Subscribe at bialikbreakdown.substack.com for more exclusive content like this and more! We sat down with our friend Dan Harris (author of 10% Happier, journalist, and meditation teacher) for a raw, unscripted conversation about anxiety, meditation, and what it really means to live with more calm and connection. What began as Mayim confessing her nerves quickly unfolded into an exploration of habit formation, the messy reality of meditation practice, and why "success" doesn’t mean never feeling anxious again. Dan shared personal stories of facing claustrophobia, panic on planes, and the unexpected childhood memories that surfaced through brainspotting and therapy. Jonathan weighed in on consciousness, body memory, and the ways stress embeds itself in us—and how practices like EMDR or somatic work can help release it. The conversation didn’t stop there. We also touched on: Why perfection isn’t the goal of meditation—and why simply "showing up" matters The difference between trauma, stress, and the everyday burdens of being human The role of visualization and faith (secular or otherwise) in rewiring the brain How relationships and connection shape our survival, health, and happiness Dan’s upcoming book about redefining love, not just as romance, but as the essential force behind our well-being and even our survival as a species We hope this live encourages you to judge yourself a little less, and lean on others a little more.

Re-Air: Nora McInerny: Move Through Grief Paralysis

We're revisiting our episode with Nora McInerny in honor of National Grief Awareness Day. Nora McInerny (Terrible, Thanks for Asking podcast, author of Bad Vibes Only) helps us build understanding around grief by taking us through her own grief journey. She discusses what her life was like before suffering extreme loss, what happened upon receiving her husband’s terminal brain cancer diagnosis, and how she dealt with a miscarriage and the loss of her father and husband weeks apart. Nora and Mayim consider the struggle of dealing with people’s expectations of your feelings during mourning periods, why it may be difficult to relate to people who are moving through grief, and the importance of allowing oneself time to truly grieve. They discuss reasons why mourning is so specific and individualistic, productivity associated with grief, and the benefits of finding a support group. Mayim breaks down the typical grief timeline, its physical symptoms, and its potential impact on every area of one’s life.

PART TWO: Doctors Called It Divine Intervention! Anita Moorjani’s Near-Death Experience, Unexplainable Cancer Recovery & Her Message of Hope

Cancer Put Her in a Coma. She Survived. Her Near Death Experience Changed Everything. Mayim Bialik's Breakdown delves into Anita Moorjani’s (renowned author, TedX speaker & self-help spiritual speaker) mind-blowing near-death experience (NDE) story and how it completely transformed her cancer, her path to healing & spiritual awakening, and how it changed the way she viewed life after death. Before her miraculous cancer recovery, Anita opens up like never before about the emotional toll of escaping an arranged marriage, her belief that neglecting her own needs while caring for others may have contributed to her cancer, and why living out of alignment with your true self can be toxic (and even deadly). Her integration journey post-NDE wasn’t easy. Friends and family treated her like the same person — but she had touched something far greater than this world, and she couldn’t go back. Anita Moorjani also breaks down: - Her belief that heaven is not a place, but a state of being - How we’re all eternally connected — past, present, and future - Why intuition, self-love, & authenticity are the real medicine we've all been missing - How you’re likely manifesting wrong - How Ayurveda and naturopathic healing deeply resonated with her healing journey - Difference between unconditional love (the kind people experience during NDEs) and earthly love - Why deepening your intuition starts with radical self-confidence - How letting go of what isn’t authentically you is the key to ultimate healing This is not just a story about cancer — it's a wake-up call about life, death, spiritual awakening and the power of living as your truest self.

Re-Air: Dr. Becky Kennedy: Wire Your Children for Resilience

In honor of "Supporting Young Minds Month," we are revisiting our episode with Dr. Becky Kennedy. Dr. Becky Kennedy (clinical psychologist, founder of Good Inside parenting workshops, author) helps us use attachment, mindfulness, emotion regulation, and internal family systems theory to break down better ways to parent! She not only provides great, practical parenting tips, but also helps us understand our own upbringings, how they impact our lives into adulthood, and provides insight into why our parents did the things they did. Dr. Becky discusses why she found the best way to work with children was actually working with their parents through body-based approaches to psychotherapy, her own paradigm shift in parenting styles, and the differences between attachment parenting and helicopter parenting. She explains the importance of wiring kids for resilience with self-soothing techniques in order to ditch old patterns of behavior, building skills to manage emotions through validation, and how to provide kids with tools to process difficult emotions. Mayim and Dr. Becky define reflective listening, boundaries vs consequences, and how feeling alone can lead to shame and fears of abandonment. They discuss the benefits of learning to embody your authority as a parent, ways to provide structure to a child with anxiety, and the benefits of internal family systems (IFS) therapy. Mayim and Jonathan break down the benefits of cooking with your children.

Aug 15, 20251h 24m

PART TWO: 5000 Near-Death Experiences: Exploring God, Precognition, & The Science Behind the Afterlife

What Happens When We Die? Find out in our interview with Dr. Jeffrey Long! Dr. Jeffrey Long, renowned radiation oncologist and founder of the Near-Death Experience Research Foundation (NDERF), shares his jaw-dropping insights into the science of NDEs, consciousness, and the afterlife. Drawing from over 5,000 verified near-death experiences, he presents the most compelling scientific and spiritual evidence that your consciousness may exist after life independent of the brain. From documented out of body experiences under anesthesia to cases where blind individuals describe vivid visuals and the deaf report hearing, Dr. Long dismantles mainstream scientific objections with hard data, like low oxygen, seizures, or residual brain activity. He explores the profound themes of life after death, spirituality, and God and reveals how people across cultures describe encounters with heaven, hell, or divine beings through deeply personal spiritual and often Christian lenses. This fascinating interview touches on the philosophical and religious implications of near-death states, including the idea of a pre-birth plan, and life reviews. Plus he explains the lasting aftereffects of NDEs, from extrasensory perception to sudden shifts in religion, values, or purpose. Dr. Long also unpacks how near-death experiences differ from dreams or psychedelic trips, and why they’re often described as “more real than life.” Whether you approach this from the lens of Christianity, science, philosophy, or open-minded curiosity, this conversation offers something for skeptics and believers alike. It's a soul-stirring podcast that will transform how you think about life, death, and the possibilities of what comes after.

What Happens When We Die? Find out in our interview with Dr. Jeffrey Long! Dr. Jeffrey Long, renowned radiation oncologist and founder of the Near-Death Experience Research Foundation (NDERF), shares his jaw-dropping insights into the science of NDEs, consciousness, and the afterlife. Drawing from over 5,000 verified near-death experiences, he presents the most compelling scientific and spiritual evidence that your consciousness may exist after life independent of the brain. From documented out of body experiences under anesthesia to cases where blind individuals describe vivid visuals and the deaf report hearing, Dr. Long dismantles mainstream scientific objections with hard data, like low oxygen, seizures, or residual brain activity. He explores the profound themes of life after death, spirituality, and God and reveals how people across cultures describe encounters with heaven, hell, or divine beings through deeply personal spiritual and often Christian lenses. This fascinating interview touches on the philosophical and religious implications of near-death states, including the idea of a pre-birth plan, and life reviews. Plus he explains the lasting aftereffects of NDEs, from extrasensory perception to sudden shifts in religion, values, or purpose. Dr. Long also unpacks how near-death experiences differ from dreams or psychedelic trips, and why they’re often described as “more real than life.” Whether you approach this from the lens of Christianity, science, philosophy, or open-minded curiosity, this conversation offers something for skeptics and believers alike. It's a soul-stirring podcast that will transform how you think about life, death, and the possibilities of what comes after.
