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.

0:00.0	It felt like a mini lightning bolt.
0:03.0	This energy that goes from his fingers to the point between my eyes down to the very center of my chest.
0:09.0	And I feel this energy, the irradiating outward from my heart, filling my whole being.
0:14.0	This is love and my heart is my home.
0:17.0	You were not on any psychedelic drug.
0:20.0	I've never taken any psychedelics. I was an atheist,
0:23.3	and I was a neuroscientist that was totally skeptical, but just beneath the surface of my awareness,
0:28.6	there simmered this heartfelt ecstasy. Dr. Marjorie Wallachot, she's a professor and a member of the
0:35.4	Institute of Neuroscience at the University of Oregon.
0:38.3	She's going to talk today about sci phenomenon, remote viewing, the ability of the mind to
0:43.3	access a realm that allows us the ability to transcend anxiety, depression, fear.
0:49.3	When a person has a near-death experience, they often come back with these sigh abilities. It's amazing what
0:56.4	people can do, including the interactions with their loved ones on the other side. Dr. Wollicott,
1:02.8	I would say no. That would be my response. No. What my consciousness could do is actually
1:08.5	change the channels and the receptors of various
1:11.3	neurons in my brain to open them up.
1:13.5	That's when telepathy often occurs.
1:15.9	Why can't we do it in the laboratory?
1:17.7	Because we don't have emotionally charged events in the laboratory.
1:20.9	I'm an open-minded skeptic, but I want the mechanism.
1:24.7	When I was the materialist neuroscientist that only believed in objectivity, I had this
1:29.3	experience that said, wait a minute, there is an element of consciousness in everything.
