Show Notes
In the next episode of Podmasana, Dr. Edi Bilimoria, author of Consciousness Came First explores how consciousness is primary rather than emerging from matter, challenging the materialistic paradigm that dominates modern science. Drawing on his unique background as both a distinguished engineer and devoted student of perennial philosophy, Edi presents evidence from quantum physics, neurocardiology, and ancient mystery schools supporting the sevenfold nature of human beings. He explains why the heart, not the brain, may be the true seat of consciousness and intelligence, and how understanding reincarnation and karma offers a coherent framework for human evolution. This conversation bridges science and spirituality, offering listeners a transformative perspective on consciousness came first, the transduction model of mind-brain relationship, and why embracing humanity's spiritual nature is essential for addressing today's ecological and mental health crises. Discover how ancient wisdom traditions and cutting-edge research converge to illuminate the living, intelligent universe we inhabit.
