Episode 200 - Imagination and Reality
“Now is a critical time to use our collective power to dream up a better world for our shared-dream reality." Dr. Howard Eisenberg
"Where there is no vision the people perish." Proverbs 29:18
Dream It to Do It - The Science and the Magic is Dr. Howard Eisenberg's most recently published book. Recognizing the many existential threats facing us today, he is committed to sharing how reality works in the hopes of bringing a better world into being. During his life-long quest to discover the true nature of reality, Howard became a medical doctor with postgraduate training in both psychology and psychiatry, and is also a lecturer in parapsychology at the University of Toronto, and associate professor of medicine at the University of Vermont. In his practice, he doesn't prescribe drugs, but works with his patients' awareness. In this episode we discuss many things including:
The connection between imagination & reality
Imagining beyond the obstacle
The power of belief, the placebo effect
Our culture’s widespread intentional manipulative programming
How we are caught up in a collective nightmare and feeling powerless
Valuing the dream world which can be more real
How lucid dreaming changes everything – we can participate in creating reality
Plato’s allegory of the cave and how our ignorance imprisons us
The importance of thinking beyond the filters we identify with (political, religious, etc.)
The child’s mind & seeing with soft eyes
