The Deep State Consciousness Podcast

Is Life a Dream? - The philosophy of Idealism with Tim Freke

I talk with philosopher Tim Freke about the philosophy of idealism, the view that the material world arises out of consciousness (as it does in a dream) and not the other way round. This flips on its head our ordinary way of seeing the world.

 

Tim talks about whether life is indeed like a dream.

Skeptiko - with Alex Tsakiris and Tim Freke

I was very happy to facilitate a dialogue between philosopher Tim Freke and Alex Tsakiris, host of the Skeptiko podcast. Over the past decade Alex has interviewed the world's leading scientists in psychical and near death experience research and we talk with him about what he's learnt through this process.

The Cosmic Hologram - with Jude Currivan and Tim Freke

I host a discussion between philosopher Tim Freke and physicist Jude Currivan, centred around the themes in Jude's new book, The Cosmic Hologram and Tim's book Soul Story. We discuss Jude's view on what quantum physics is telling us about the nature of reality and whether it is pointing towards a particular metaphysical position.

The discussion then moves along to look at how the views we hold on the fundamental nature of reality effect our behaviour on a personal and political level.

Lucid Living & Dreaming with Tim Freke & Charlie Morley

I sat down with philosopher Tim Freke to chat with lucid dreaming teacher Charley Morley. We discuss dreaming from a Buddhist perspective, the similarities and differences between the dreaming and waking reality, mystical experience in dreams and the transformative power of nightmares.

Relationship - with Tim Freke

I talk with philosopher Tim Freke about how becoming more conscious changes the way we can relate to others. We touch on issues of social phobia, having a more authentic connection with family and knowing when it's right or wrong to leave a relationship. We discuss how a sense of inner security and acceptance radically shifts our ability to engage with these issues and decisions.

Radical Sages - with Tim Freke and Robert Rabbin

I talk with Tim and Robert about non-dual spirituality and what impact it can have on political activism. Does a non-dual philosophy imply certain political/economic positions? How does an awareness of a deeper sense of identity affect the way we dialgoue? How does it speak to the sense of despondency activist may suffer from when confronting the impossible? Does it leave a person optimistic for the future?

Magic & Manifestation - with Tim Freke

In this interview I ask Tim all about magic, the idea that the mind can directly manifest situations in the apparently phisical world. We discuss the history of this concept, its relation to the world's esoteric traditions, its use and abuse and what modern science is telling us about it.

Psychedeics - Tim Freke

What role have psychedelics played in mystical experience through the ages? What role might they play ow and in the future? Is it possible to have a mystical experience without the use of substances. These are the question I get into with Tim, as well as asking him about his own journey using psychedelic substances to change consciousness.

Sufism - with Tim Freke

Who were/are the Sufis? What makes their spirituality so unique? Where did their mystical Islamic philosophy come from? What role can Sufism play in the world today? These are the questions we discuss in this dialogue.

In the Light of Death

Tim wrote 'In the Light of Death' in an effort to link the perennial philosophy with bereavement therapy. Now with the book back in print I ask him bout his experiences working with the dying which influenced its writing. We also discuss the mounting evidence from near death experience and after death communication research and how this changes our relationship with both death and the deceased.
