The Merging of Science and Spirituality | Donald Hoffman & Rupert Spira

A New Way of Being

In this episode, I sit down with Rupert Spira and Don Hoffman — two people at the leading edge of exploring consciousness and reality — to unpack some of the biggest questions we can ask.

We talk about why space-time might not be fundamental, whether matter is even “real,” and how consciousness could be the ground of everything.

This conversation explores where science, philosophy and spirituality meet — and asks whether modern physics is finally catching up with what the great contemplative traditions have pointed to all along.

Highlights include:

• Why space and time might be illusions

• The limits of trying to explain consciousness through the brain

• What maths might reveal about the nature of reality

• Whether our senses are showing us the world as it really is — or not at all

Guests:

• Rupert Spira – Philosopher and spiritual teacher

• Don Hoffman – Cognitive scientist and author of The Case Against Reality

This one goes deep — but it’s well worth the ride.
