Hello Deadly Departed listeners,
We're excited to share this special newsletter edition, filled with insights and inspiration that explore the connection between science and the mystical. Our latest episode features Dr. Marjorie Woollacott, a neuroscientist and author of "Infinite Awareness," known for her insights on consciousness and spirituality.
From Skeptical Scientist to Spiritual Explorer
Have you ever wondered what happens when a neuroscientist has a life-changing spiritual experience? Dr. Woollacott recalls her early years as a strong materialist and atheist, often dismissing those who were spiritual. She describes her transformative journey that changed her worldview. We learn how a weekend of meditation created a strong sense of oneness and inspired her to explore consciousness beyond the brain.
Highlights from the Conversation:
- A Journey to Infinite Awareness: Marjorie’s first mystical experience, her relentless daily meditation practice, and what it means to feel “at home” in awareness.
- The Brain as Transmitter: Marjorie explains how neuroscience may only be part of the picture, describing the brain as more of a “filter” or “receiver,” not the source of consciousness itself.
- Extraordinary Children & Telepathy: Get a sneak peek into Marjorie’s research into non-speaking autistic children who display remarkable telepathic abilities—the "greatest mediums" she’s ever encountered.
- Terminal Lucidity & Near-Death Insights: Marjorie is currently investigating those stunning moments when individuals near death display unexpected clarity before passing—challenging the boundaries of what we know about life and consciousness.
- Real-World Applications: What happens when you put these ideas into practice? Marjorie sheds light on how expanding awareness changes our connection to others, the natural world, and even matters of life, death, and grief.
Takeaways to Transform Your Day:
At the heart of Dr. Woollacott’s message is this: “Consciousness is truly our essence. It’s who we are. Listen to your heart and keep following it—that will lead you to an expanded awareness.”
