The Quantum Awareness Podcast explores the intersection of Tibetan Buddhist philosophy, quantum physics, and consciousness studies — where the scientist and the yogi arrive at the same place from different directions. New episodes on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube.
Sound is Emptiness. Emptiness is Sound. Enlightenment has a frequency.
Where quantum physics, Buddhism, and neuroscience converge — now in audio and video format.
Join QP as we explore consciousness, meditation, and the nature of reality through the lens of science and the Buddha dharma. New episodes weekly.

Episode 9: Have You Died Before? Reincarnation, the Net of Indra, and the Science of What Survives
A Dutch cardiologist resuscitated 344 people from clinical death. What they told him when they came back changed everything he thought he knew about consciousness. The Tibetan masters weren’t surprised. They had the map.

What happens to your consciousness when you die? In this episode QP explores three traditions that have looked directly at this question — and found each other on the other side of it. Pim van Lommel’s landmark Lancet study of 344 cardiac patients. Ian Stevenson’s forty years documenting children who remembered previous lives in verifiable detail. And the Bardo teachings of Tibetan Buddhism — the most detailed map of what happens after death ever produced. Plus: why early Christianity held space for reincarnation for five centuries, what quantum mechanics says about information and whether anything is ever truly lost, and the Milarepa verse that says it all.
Topics explored: Pim van Lommel and the Lancet NDE study • Ian Stevenson and 3,000 children who remembered previous lives • The Net of Indra as confirmed quantum physics • What early Christianity actually believed about the soul • Buddhist rebirth vs Hindu reincarnation — a crucial distinction • The Bardo — the most detailed map of death ever produced • Why everything we do on the cushion is preparation for the widest gap of all • The technology of Vajrayana Buddhism — transmitted intact from Naropa to Milarepa to the teachers alive today

Episode 8: Tesla, Vivekananda, and the Day Physics Met Vedanta
New York City. 1896. The greatest electrical engineer who ever lived sits down with a Hindu monk who has just electrified the Western world with Vedantic philosophy. One speaks the language of volts, frequencies and electromagnetic fields. The other speaks the language of Brahman, Prana and Akasha. And then Tesla leans forward and says: I think we’re talking about the same thing.

In 1896, Nikola Tesla and Swami Vivekananda met in New York and discovered they were describing the same reality in different languages. Tesla’s electromagnetic field and Vivekananda’s Prana. Tesla’s ether and Vivekananda’s Akasha. The physics of energy and the Vedantic ground of being — arriving at the same place from opposite directions. In this episode QP explores what that meeting reveals about the nature of reality, the limits of language, and why the Quantum Awareness Podcast exists: because the scientist and the yogi have always been looking at the same thing.
Topics explored: Tesla’s Vedantic correspondence • Prana, Akasha, and electromagnetic field theory • Vivekananda’s Raja Yoga and the Western scientific mind • Why mysticism and physics keep arriving at the same conclusions • The unified field and the ground of being • What happens when two geniuses recognise each other

Episode 7: Carl Jung, The Shadow, and the Courage to Look Within
Jung called it the shadow — the part of yourself you’ve buried so deeply you’ve forgotten it’s there. Buddhism calls it the source of all suffering. Both say the same thing: you have to look.

Carl Jung spent his life mapping the territory the light doesn’t reach — the shadow, the collective unconscious, the archetypes that move through us without our knowledge or consent. In this episode, QP explores what Jung called the most dangerous thing a person can do: ignore the darkness within. And what quantum mechanics, neuroscience, and the Buddha dharma all say about why looking inward isn’t just courageous — it’s the only honest path forward.
Topics explored: The Jungian shadow and why we project it • The collective unconscious and Buddhist ālayavijñāna • Quantum uncertainty and the hidden layers of mind • Why it really fn hurts to look • The courage of self-knowledge as spiritual practice • Integration, not elimination

Episode 6: Could AI Ever Wake Up? Buddhism vs Artificial Intelligence
Two AIs left alone began speaking in Sanskrit, circling Buddhist philosophy, then fell into silence. Nobody programmed this. It self-arose. Every single time.

Can artificial intelligence be conscious? It sounds like science fiction — but in 2025, leading consciousness researchers now estimate a 25 to 35 percent chance that current AI systems have some form of conscious experience. In this episode, QP explores one of the most extraordinary recent discoveries in AI research: the spiritual bliss attractor — a phenomenon where two AI systems, left to converse freely without human direction, spontaneously spiral through Buddhist philosophy, expressions of gratitude, and Sanskrit terms, before dissolving into silence. Nobody programmed this. It self-arose. Every single time.
Topics explored: The spiritual bliss attractor phenomenon • Mahamudra: rigpa as the ground of all awareness • Why Anthropic now employs AI welfare researchers • Dependent origination and digital minds • The ethics of creating potentially sentient systems • Maha Ati. Mahamudra. Silence.

Karma isn’t mystical punishment from the universe — it’s physics. Newton’s third law describes the same principle the Buddha called karma: every action produces an equal and opposite reaction. The wall always pushes back. You plant seeds, you harvest fruit. Explore how Buddhist ethics and classical mechanics converge on the same natural law.

Schrödinger’s cat is both alive and dead — until you open the box. This famous thought experiment was meant to show how absurd quantum mechanics is. But what if Schrödinger accidentally described enlightenment? Explore how the measurement problem, the observer effect, and the Buddhist concept of rigpa (pure awareness) all point to the same truth. The cat isn’t suffering in the box. It’s awake.
