What if you could experience someone else’s death…without being the one who was dying?For centuries, people across cultures have reported something far stranger than a traditional near death experience: shared death experiences (SDEs). Healthy, conscious people (including doctors, nurses, family members, and even people thousands of miles away) have described witnessing or experiencing phenomena seemingly connected to someone in the process of dying.But how is that possible?Some witnesses report seeing hovering apparitions, mysterious lights, mist, sounds, or even figures seemingly guiding the dying person into another realm. In some cases, multiple people in the same room claim to witness the same phenomenon.Are these experiences hallucinations? A psychological response to grief? Something science hasn't yet explained? Or could they point to something much deeper about consciousness, death, and what happens when we die?And then there are the experiences that happen after death.People who report after-death…

What if telepathy, precognition, remote viewing, psychic abilities, and even “magic” are real, but science has been looking at them the wrong way?

This week we’re sharing a chat Jonathan held on his Substack page, Practical Spirituality, with Mystic Michaela: author, podcast host, and fourth generation psychic medium who specializes in reading auras.When talking about energy, we explore the question: can you connect to someone’s energy when they aren’t in the room? Michaela says yes. Every version of you still exists, and you can send energy back to a past version of yourself and see that time differently. Nothing ever goes away. Energy is not only present but readable.What if we’re all mirrored systems giving off a frequency? Most people can’t read it the way Michaela does, but everyone is interacting with it whether they notice or not.We also talked about how to find your own form of intuition, how to use a pendulum, and what might be happening if you think you’re encountering a ghost. Spoiler: some of them stick around because they want to live with you.Go to https://helixsleep.com/breakdown to receive 20% off your Helix mattress.Visit…

We're sharing an episode Jonathan Cohen appeared on that we think you'll love. Jonathan joined the Phenomena Podcast to help close out its season on energy healing and we wanted to bring that conversation to you!What is “energy” in energy healing? Every healer in this series uses the word. Every patient reaches for it. Ancient healing traditions built entire systems around it and modern researchers are striving to study it.But what is energy biologically, physically, measurably and how does it move through the body to influence health and healing? In this episode, three renowned scientists offer remarkable visions that, taken together, start to answer this question.Martin Picard, PhD, of Columbia University has spent his career studying mitochondria, the body's cellular power sources, and has found them far more connected to our inner experiences, our consciousness, than biomedicine ever assumed, and likely far more central to how we heal.Richard Hammerschlag, PhD, co-authored the paper that helped define…

What if the next battlefield isn't physical, but your brain?In this episode of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, Dr. James Giordano (Professor Emeritus of Neurology and Biochemistry, Chair Emeritus of the Neuroethics Studies Program at Georgetown University Medical Center, served as the consulting neuroscientist on research into the original cases of Havana Syndrome) explores the rapidly evolving world of neuroscience, cognitive warfare, biowarfare, electromagnetic technologies, consciousness, and the ethical questions shaping the future of humanity.Dr. Giordano examines why he believes the threat of biowarfare deserves far more public attention, revealing examples of biological technologies that could potentially be used to target individuals and discussing how they may influence brain function, physiology, and perception.He also unpacks the history of covert CIA programs like MKUltra and Operation Artichoke, whose objectives included investigating whether people could be involuntarily controlled, hypnotized, or…

This week we’re sharing something special that was previously only available on our Substack page: a chat between Jonathan and filmmaker, Mark Vicente, co-director of the 2004 film “What the Bleep Do We Know!?“, and the NXIVM whistleblower whose testimony helped put Keith Raniere in federal prison.Many teachers have real wisdom and profound opportunities to change. Many are resurfacing hidden ancient knowledge that the world truly needs. And some of the teachers are wolves in sheep’s clothing who prey on those who believe there must be more to our often limited experience.If you saw The Vow on HBO, you know one half of Mark’s story.Mark was born in South Africa. At nine years old, out in the bush, he heard Zulu drumming and was overcome with emotions in a way he couldn’t explain. He wept — hit by a certainty that if everyone else could feel what he was feeling, the country he was born into would change. And the senseless injustice could be stopped.Years later, Mark’s film, What the Bleep Do We Know, used the…

What if UAPs, aliens, crop circles, and near death experiences are all part of the same system designed to accelerate humanity's evolution?In part two of our conversation with Thomas Campbell—physicist, systems analyst, consciousness researcher, and creator of My Big TOE (Theory of Everything)— he shares his most profound insights into the nature of reality, consciousness, death, AI, and why humanity may be evolving toward love faster than ever before.Thomas explains whether the real purpose of UAP sightings, alien encounters, crop circles, and near death experiences is to awaken humanity and help consciousness evolve at an unprecedented rate. He also shares his perspective on Chris Bledsoe's extraordinary paranormal experiences, why he believes the larger system chose him, and what these events may mean for humanity.He reveals what actually happens after we die, why so many people report traveling through mysterious "tunnels," and discusses his unusual role as the "Store Greeter of Death," helping newly…

Thomas Campbell - physicist, systems analyst, consciousness researcher, and creator of My Big TOE (Theory of Everything) - reveals how reality may be far stranger than we've been taught.In this episode of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, Thomas explains why he believes consciousness is the fundamental information system that computes reality itself, and what that means if we're living inside a kind of virtual reality.He shares how legendary consciousness pioneer Bob Monroe personally taught him remote viewing, out-of-body experiences, telepathy, and consciousness exploration, and why these abilities may be natural human capacities rather than supernatural phenomena.Thomas also breaks down how changing your intent can literally change probabilities, how meditation strengthens consciousness, why healing may be the easiest psychic ability to develop, and how he learned to heal - including the remarkable story of helping a baby diagnosed with brain cancer, while explaining why some illnesses may still serve an…

This week we’re revisiting an episode from last year with Harvard historian and sociologist Dr. Rebecca Lemov, author of The Instability of Truth: Brainwashing, Mind Control, and Hyper-Persuasion.What if you could be persuaded to confess to a crime you didn’t commit—or believe that an identity was manufactured for you?

This week we are re-releasing a Substack Live from our Breaker community! Mayim and Jonathan unpack their recent conversation with Dr. Paul Conti, psychiatrist and author of Trauma: The Invisible Epidemic, and the clinician who assessed Lady Gaga during her psychiatric crisis. His central argument: the lens through which you approach your own suffering may be the very thing keeping you stuck in it - and psychiatry needs to evolve to help you see that.Mayim breaks down one of Dr. Conti’s most profound suggestions — that if a diagnosis becomes your sole identity, the brain will actually reinforce it. Every time you return to a problem as the primary fact of your existence, you deepen the groove that rumination is creating in your brain. He’s offering a clinical framework for redirecting attention toward what is functioning, and why that reorientation affects real mental health improvement.More than half of the physical complaints that walk into a general practitioner’s office originate in the mind not as…

This week we’re revisiting an episode from last year with Dr. Rhonda Patrick, Ph.D. in biomedical science, expert in nutritional biochemistry and aging, and founder of FoundMyFitness. She takes us through the cutting-edge science behind living longer, feeling sharper, and preventing disease with evidence-based lifestyle changes.In this powerful conversation, Dr. Patrick uncovers the hidden nutrient deficiencies that may be driving depression and anxiety, and how your daily habits could be quietly accelerating inflammation, cognitive decline, and chronic illness. Learn why creatine may be the brain-boosting supplement you’re missing, the 2-minute “exercise snack” can rewire your brain and boost metabolic health, how running may outperform antidepressants for mood regulation, why living near a golf course might increase your toxic exposure and how alcohol affects women’s brains more severely than men’s. She also breaks down how much protein you really need (especially for vegans), coffee’s health benefits and…

What if dying revealed the truth about who you really are?After suffering a heart attack fueled by years of rage, trauma, and inner conflict, David A. Williamson says he left his body, heard doctors' thoughts as they fought to save his life, traveled through deep space, encountered "the Void," witnessed a mysterious hidden Grid beyond the universe, and received a life-altering message:"You killed yourself with your personality."In this extraordinary Near Death Experience (NDE) episode of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, David describes hovering above his body in the operating room, watching medical personnel work on him while somehow knowing their private thoughts. He then says he shot through space, encountered what he believes may be connected to black holes, witnessed a star-forming region, transformed into an orb of light, and saw an asteroid that NASA would later confirm actually exists.But that's only the beginning.David shares childhood experiences that he believes prepared him for this encounter with death,…

This week we’re sharing something special that was previously only available on Substack: Jonathan’s conversation with Meredith Sprengel, Research and Program Director for the Subtle Energy Funders Collective and Fellowship Director for the Biofield Fellowship Research Program. Meredith studies what most people would call energy healing — someone holds their hands over you, or sends an intention, and the body drops into a deep state of rest. In that state, curious and sometimes miraculous things start to happen.Science can already measure the electrical field your heart and brain give off, and the faint light your cells emit. But what about a field that connects all of us? And what if it’s the missing piece in how the body heals itself?Meredith walks us through a preclinical study at MD Anderson Cancer Center where a specific energy healing practice stopped the growth of pancreatic cancer cells. She also describes her own research in the Netherlands, where people receiving healing showed an exponential rise…
