Summary

What if consciousness isn’t just in your brain, but in every cell of the universe?


In this episode of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, Dr. Marjorie Woollacott—renowned neuroscientist and leading researcher on consciousness and spiritual experience—shares her personal journey of spiritual awakening. She describes a transformative guided meditation where she felt an electric current flow from her head to her heart, accompanied by an overwhelming sense of love unlike anything she’d ever experienced.


Dr. Woollacott dives into the science, the mysticism, and the practical wisdom behind spiritual transformation, including:

- Why it’s vital to integrate spiritual experiences into daily life and how she finally merged her academic & spiritual paths after keeping them separate for so long

- Neural features in the brain that limit access to extrasensory perception, and why some people are born with “their senses wide open”

- Why you don’t need a scientific explanation to fully embrace the positive transformation of a spiritual awakening

- Practical tips to quiet your mind & deepen meditation, even if you’ve struggled in the past

- How connection matters more than ever in challenging global times

- Who is more likely to have psi abilities, and how Near Death Experiences can unlock hidden potential

- How some people can go beyond space & time if they believe it’s possible

- Why placebo works & how to balance self-agency with surrendering to the universe

- Her belief that consciousness exists differently in dreams & alternate states, and how collective consciousness can create real-world change

- The incredible story of a doctor's out-of-body experience during hypnotic regression in an NDE, and what it teaches us about the mind and soul

- Scientific argument for why telekinesis could be possible

- Importance of finding purpose, noticing synchronicities, and staying “open” to life’s hidden signals

- Power of prayer & Reiki, and why establishing energetic boundaries between healer & patient is essential


Whether you’re curious about spiritual awakening, consciousness, extrasensory perception, near death experiences, or the science behind mysticism, this conversation will expand your mind, open your heart, and challenge what you thought was possible.


Prepare to explore the frontier where science meets the soul, and discover how your own awareness could be far greater than you ever imagined!

My MB Alex breakdown is supported by Helix sleep. Bring is in the air and so are all of the allergens that come with it. Spring allergens means you need more sleep, but there are a ton of factors that can prevent us from getting a good night's rest. Night sweats, back pain, feeling the person next to you when they roll over a million times. We were so excited to hear that Helix wanted to partner with us. I've had my Helix mattress for about five years now and I have been sleeping so much better. Jonathan and also our kids love their Helix mattresses and all of those issues, night sweats, back pain, motion transfer, those things are significantly better with a Helix mattress. Helix delivers your mattress right to your door, which is so much fun with free shipping in the US. They have a 120 night sleep trial and limited lifetime warranty plus they're happy with Helix guarantee. Rest easy with seamless returns and exchanges. The happy with Helix guarantee offers a risk-free customer first experience designed to ensure that you're completely satisfied with your new mattress.

It felt like a mini lightning bolt.

1:12.4

This energy that goes from his fingers

1:14.9

to the point between my eyes

1:16.8

down to the very center of my chest.

1:18.7

And I feel this energy

1:20.0

that you're radiating outward from my heart,

1:22.3

filling my whole being.

1:23.8

This is love and my heart is my home.

1:26.8

You were not on any psychedelic drug.

1:29.7

I've never taken any psychedelics.

1:31.6

I was an atheist, and I was a neuroscientist

1:34.3

that was totally skeptical,

1:35.8

but just beneath the surface of my awareness,

1:38.0

they're simmered.

1:39.1

This heart felt ecstasy.

Dr. Marjorie Wallachot,

1:43.6

he's a professor and a member of the Institute of Neuroscience at the University of Oregon. He's going to talk today about syphonominon, remote viewing, the ability of the mind to access a realm that allows us the ability to transcend anxiety, depression, fear. When a person has a near-death experience, they often come back with these sigh abilities. It's amazing what people can do, including the interactions with their loved ones on the other side. Dr. Walikot, I would say no. That would be my response. No. What my consciousness could do is actually change the channels and the receptors of various neurons in my brain to open them up. That's when telepathy often occurs. Why can't we do it in the laboratory? Because we don't have emotionally charged events in the laboratory. I'm an open-minded skeptic, but I want the mechanism. When I was the materialist neuroscientist that only believed in objectivity, I had this experience that said, wait a minute, there is an element of consciousness in everything. Our beliefs create our reality. All of the human beings, all the points of consciousness in this world, are also contributing to our joint reality. This is a co-created universe. Hi, I'm Miami Olic. And I'm Jonathan Cohen. And welcome to our breakdown. Today feels like a special day. Why is that, Miami? Because we're about to have a very big conversation that kind of takes us from the concept of spirituality, and it grounds it in a neurophysiological space, which I love. I love when we literally have an intersection of science and spirituality. One of the most powerful aspects of this conversation for me is how we are all boxing ourselves into a world that is keeping us constrained. The notion that understanding consciousness can have such a practical application to your life. I don't think has ever been more clear than it is in our conversation today. We're speaking to a neuroscientist and ascribed neuroscience, hard-wired, skeptical atheist who had an experience that was inexplicable. The only way to describe it was that she was stepping outside of the five senses that her entire career was based on. Dr. Marjorie Wallachot. She's a professor and a member of the Institute of Neuroscience at the University of Oregon. She trained at USC, got her doctorate there, but she also holds a degree in something that many of us don't know how to get at. And she's going to talk today about sci-fanamanon. She's going to talk about remote viewing. She's going to talk about telekinesis. What? She's going to talk about the ability of the mind to step outside of the world that we think exists in order to access not only a spiritual realm, but a realm that allows us the ability to transcend anxiety, depression, fear, even a sense of helplessness. It's a wonderful conversation and one that intersects with so many specialists we've spoken to in the field

5:05.9

of near death experiences, sci-fanominon and other extra sensory perception. The episode also talks on telepathy, synchronicity, remote viewing, and many of the unbelievable phenomenon that we have explored here recently, you are not going to want to miss this. I read Infinite Awareness, the Awakening of a Scientific Mind, to prepare for our conversation today, but I also want to mention an incredible, incredible book that Dr. Wallacot has compiled spiritual awakenings, scientists and academics describe their experiences about people who are used to operating in a materialistic framework, who then shift over to a larger spiritual understanding. Also, the playful universe, synchronicity and the nature of consciousness, and will actually touch on synchronicity today. Is it a real thing that we can describe in the scientific world, or is it just something that you feel? Also on the banks banks of the River Styx, new perspectives on terminal lucidity

6:06.5

and other near death phenomenon, also something we'll touch on today. What is terminal lucidity? And what can it tell us about the nature of consciousness? We also have a lot of practical tips that Jonathan and I have used in our personal life, which we're gonna speak about a little bit with Dr. Willekot, but you're gonna wanna head over the sub-stack for the conversation about the practical application of everything we're

6:27.3

going to talk about today.
