  • Only 10% of Reality Is Physical: How Your Intuition Reveals the Rest | Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

    Only 10% of Reality Is Physical: How Your Intuition Reveals the Rest | Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
    Sep 26 2026
    What if consciousness is far more fundamental than the physical world we see around us? What happens to consciousness when we die? And could learning to quiet the mind, strengthen intuition, and move beyond our five senses reveal a deeper reality?In this episode of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar—world-renowned spiritual leader, meditation teacher, and founder of The Art of Living—explores the nature of consciousness, spirituality, reality, intuition, meditation, inner peace, and the future of humanity.Gurudev shares what decades of spiritual practice have taught him about the relationship between the spiritual and physical worlds, including his perspective that matter represents only a fraction of consciousness. He explains why uniqueness and universality can coexist, where intuition comes from, and how we can begin opening ourselves to experiences beyond the limitations of our five senses.CONSCIOUSNESS, REALITY & THE SUPERNATURALWhat happens to consciousness after death? Can human beings access something beyond ordinary sensory perception? How can we distinguish spiritual experiences and miracles from psychosis? Gurudev explores these profound questions while explaining how our understanding of consciousness may be much larger than we realize.He also discusses energy healing, how it may work, and why protecting our consciousness, especially among young people, has become increasingly important in a world filled with pressure, distraction, and uncertainty.MEDITATION, STILLNESS & MENTAL HYGIENEWhy is stillness so powerful, and why do so few people actually find it enticing?Gurudev explains how even a few moments of stillness can transform our mental state and shares practical mental hygiene practices that anyone can begin using today to raise their energy, improve their well-being, and reconnect with themselves. He also explains his Sky Breathing technique and how conscious breathing can bring us into greater rhythm and harmony with the world around us.INTUITION, PURPOSE & YOUR INNER WORLDWhere does intuition come from, and can you actually develop it?Gurudev shares insights into how to strengthen intuition, discover your life's purpose, reconnect with your inner child, and cultivate a more playful and joyful spirit. He reflects on recognizing his own spiritual calling as a child and how he always felt different from other children. He also explains why losing our natural sense of play, wonder, and joy can have profound consequences, and why reconnecting with that part of ourselves matters.WHY THE WORLD IS BECOMING MORE VIOLENTGurudev discusses the growing pressure people are experiencing around the world and why increased pressure can ultimately lead to increased violence. He shares his vision for the next wave of humanity and explains why protecting consciousness, cultivating inner peace, and learning to live beyond fear and division may be essential to humanity's future.His commitment to peace is also deeply personal. Gurudev explains why he wants his legacy to emphasize his role as a peacemaker, including his work facilitating a peace dialogue that contributed to a ceasefire in Colombia's civil war, a conflict that had claimed more than 220,000 lives over 52 years. He also discusses his work with gang members and his efforts to help transform cycles of violence.LOVE, RELATIONSHIPS & SPIRITUAL GROWTHWhat can love and relationships teach us about ourselves?Gurudev explores the deeper wisdom hidden within relationships and explains how cynicism can limit spiritual growth. He discusses why maintaining openness, curiosity, joy, and wonder may be essential to experiencing life more fully.THE WEST IS WAKING UP TO SPIRITUALITYGurudev reflects on the dramatic changes he has witnessed in the West surrounding meditation, yoga, mindfulness, spirituality, and consciousness.What was once considered unconventional has increasingly entered mainstream culture. But where does this movement go next, and what does humanity need now?From meditation and yoga to consciousness and intuition, from energy healing and spirituality to peace and human transformation, this conversation explores some of the biggest questions of our existence.Who are we beyond the physical body?Where does consciousness go when we die?Can we access a deeper reality beyond the five senses?And what would happen if humanity learned to protect and elevate its consciousness?Make your summer wardrobe feel easier.

  • Re-Air: Embrace Your Eccentricities & A Petri Dish of Creativity | Rainn Wilson

    Re-Air: Embrace Your Eccentricities & A Petri Dish of Creativity | Rainn Wilson
    Sep 25 2026

    This week we’re revisiting an episode from 2021 with Rainn Wilson, best known as Dwight Schrute from the beloved series The Office.


    Rainn holds a special place here at MBB for a couple of reasons: he was our very first in-person guest and one of our first spiritual guests. In this episode he discusses his nerdy childhood, growing up with social misfit parents, and the evolution that therapy has provided to every area of his life. Rainn describes growing up in a petri dish of dysfunction, feeling unloved and alienated as a child, and how all of this led to anxiety, depression, panic attacks, and addiction issues. He learned early on in his acting career to embrace playing the alienated misfit, and opens up about his meditation process and the tools his faith gave him to find his own path and identity.


    Mayim and Rainn bond over being band geeks and chess club members, and all of the expectations, insecurities, and limitations that come with being a sitcom character actor. They examine the similarities between a recovery journey and spiritual journey, the benefits of going to AA even if you’re not an alcoholic, and the reasons that some people are resistant to therapy.

    Part Two: Cult Leaders Target You At Your Weakest. Never Confess This To Them | Rick Alan Ross
    Sep 23 2026
    Cult expert Rick Alan Ross (founder of the Cult Education Institute and author of Cults Inside Out: How People Get In and Can Get Out) reveals how cults are shaping modern society in ways most people never realize.Could a cult be influencing U.S. politics? On this episode of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, we examine the disturbing allegations surrounding Tulsi Gabbard's (former director of national intelligence) spiritual guru, including claims of child abuse, his reported influence on her political career, concerns about potential access to national secrets during her time as Trump's Director of National Intelligence, and why Ross says fully vetting government officials is more important than ever.Rick also answers one of today's most controversial questions: Is MAGA a cult? He explains what actually qualifies as a cult, shares examples of modern-day cults and cult-like organizations influencing global politics, and reveals what ordinary people can do to protect themselves.Think you'd never join a cult? Think again. Ross explains why anyone (regardless of intelligence, education, or success) can become vulnerable, why loneliness and social isolation make people especially susceptible, how cults first draw people in, and the psychological process they use to slowly break people down over time.You'll learn the 3 stages of thought reform (coercive persuasion), why social isolation is considered a core element of destructive thought programs, what makes a cult truly dangerous, why followers often lose their critical thinking and sense of empowerment, and whether cult leaders actually believe what they're preach, or knowingly manipulate others.Rick also breaks down:- Why it's so difficult (even for trained experts) to infiltrate cults and rescue members- How deprogramming works, why it can take so long, and what happens when interventions fail- Hidden warning signs of controlling leaders, including subtle behaviors followers display around them- Scientology's controversial "auditing" process and how it functions psychologically- Whether support groups like AA could ever be considered cults- Where the line exists between healthy religious devotion and dangerous religious extremism- Why accountability within leadership is essential, and why claims of having "a direct line to God" deserve careful scrutinyThe conversation goes far beyond traditional cults.Rick explains how abusive romantic relationships often use the same psychological tactics, including how narcissistic partners create dependency, weaponize the fear of disequilibrium, why explosive behavior is never acceptable in a healthy relationship, and the key warning signs that you're dating someone controlling or abusive.We also explore how UFO communities can evolve into cult-like movements, examine real-world examples of UFO-based cults, and discuss how cult psychology is appearing in workplaces, startup culture, and organizations facing uncertainty as AI transforms the workforce.Finally, Rick shares practical tools everyone can use to recognize manipulation before it's too late.And stay until the very end to hear the shocking story of whether Mayim was personally targeted by a cult!Rick Alan Ross' book, Cults Inside Out: How People Get In and Can Get Out: https://cultsinsideout.com/The Cult Education Institute: https://culteducation.com/Follow us on Substack for Exclusive Bonus Content: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://bialikbreakdown.substack.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠BialikBreakdown.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube.com/mayimbialik⁠⁠⁠See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

    UFO Military Files Matched What Psychics Have Been Channeling | Dr. Helané Wahbeh
    Sep 17 2026
    What if science is finally catching up to the supernatural?In part 2 of our episode with Dr. Helané Wahbeh (Director of Research at the Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS) and author of The Science of Channeling) she takes us inside the cutting edge of consciousness research, revealing what science is uncovering about channeling, psychic abilities, energy healing, telepathy, and the non-material aspects of reality.As one of the world's leading researchers studying psi phenomena, Dr. Wahbeh explores where the evidence stands, why mainstream science is beginning to take these topics more seriously, and what it could mean for our understanding of consciousness itself.Dr. Wahbeh breaks down:- How scientists actually study channeling and just how common channeling really is- Why respected scientific institutions are now researching channeling, telepathy, psychic phenomena, and consciousness, and what this says about the shift beyond a purely materialist worldview- Can channeling be used to contact extraterrestrials? What evidence would actually be required to prove it scientifically- Fascinating common themes reported by people who claim to channel extraterrestrial intelligences- Groundbreaking telepathy research showing surprising results between emotionally bonded pairs, and what it may reveal about nonlocal consciousness- Why our current definition of scientific proof may be too narrow when investigating paranormal and supernatural experiences- Latest research into energy medicine and Reiki, including studies suggesting measurable physical changes that may help explain how energetic healing works- Do spirit guides play a role in energy healing?- What's really happening during exorcisms, spirit attachments, and the clearing of negative entities?- Can energy work help heal or even reverse intergenerational trauma?- How Dr. Wahbeh's own openness to psi phenomena has transformed her daily life, worldview, and even the way she parents- Could the world's religions eventually expand to include scientifically studied psychic and extrasensory abilities?- What a future science of consciousness might look like, and whether we're moving toward a comprehensive explanation of the non-material worldThis conversation explores one of the biggest questions humanity has ever asked: Can science investigate experiences once dismissed as supernatural?Whether you're fascinated by channeling, telepathy, consciousness research, psychic phenomena, extraterrestrials, energy healing, spirituality, or the future of science itself, this episode of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown offers a rare look at where rigorous research and extraordinary human experience intersect.If you've ever wondered whether consciousness extends beyond the brain, or whether science is on the verge of redefining reality, you won't want to miss this conversation!Go to https://alyahealth.com/ and use code BREAKER for 20% off your first order.Go to https://helixsleep.com/breakdown to receive up to 30% off your Helix mattress.Visit https://drinkag1.com/BREAKDOWN and get a FREE AG1 Flavor Sampler and a FREE bottle of Vitamin D3 + K2 in your Welcome Kit with your first AG1 subscription order.Learn more about IONS: https://noetic.org/breakdown/IONS free live webinars: https://noetic.org/experience/connections-live/IONS peer-reviewed papers: https://noetic.org/science/publications/Participate in IONS research: https://noetic.org/science/participate-research/IONS Research Prize on UAPs: https://noetic.org/prize/Dr. Helané Wahbeh's book, The Science of Channeling: https://noetic.org/explore/science-of-channeling/Follow us on Substack for Exclusive Bonus Content: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://bialikbreakdown.substack.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠BialikBreakdown.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube.com/mayimbialik⁠⁠⁠See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

    Psychic Ability 101: Stop Absorbing Others’ Pain & Discover Your Specific Intuitive Gift | Dr. Helané Wahbeh
    Sep 15 2026
    What if everything you thought you knew about channeling is wrong?Dr. Helané Wahbeh (Director of Research at the Institute of Noetic Sciences and author of The Science of Channeling) reveals the science, psychology, and real-world practice behind one of the world's most misunderstood phenomena.In this episode of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, she shares how she unexpectedly began trance channeling as a child after witnessing her grandparents' séance sessions, and answers the biggest questions people have about channeling today. You'll discover:- Who are people really channeling? Spirit guides, higher self, deceased loved ones, or something else?- Can one person channel multiple beings?- Crucial differences between channeling, trance channeling, and mediumship- How renowned channelers like Lee Harris & Darryl Anka actually channel, and what makes their approaches different- Can anyone learn to channel? How to discover your natural channeling style and why your genetics may influence your intuitive strengths- Are you neurodivergent... or are you awakening to latent psi abilities?- Surprising difference between intuition and psychic ability- Hidden ways you're already receiving nonlocal information without realizing it- How channeling can dramatically improve your everyday life in ways most people never consider- Shocking ways unseen "Noetic Signatures" may be influencing your thoughts, emotions, health, and life, and how they can quietly sabotage you if you don't recognize them- 12 characteristics of Noetic Signatures and how to tell them apart from ordinary physical sensations- Can your Noetic Signature change over time? Why most people actually have multiple signatures.- Importance of energetic boundaries and practical energetic maintenance habits everyone should know- Science behind the chakra system and what current research suggests- Why intention is one of the most important factors when channeling and how to use it effectively- Why ego-clearing practices like psychotherapy, hypnosis, and self-awareness are essential for receiving clearer information- How unconscious personality patterns act as filters that can distort channeled messages- Why balancing intellect and intuition is critical, and how to avoid outsourcing your personal power to channeled information- Why so many people feel disconnected from their extrasensory abilities, and how our externally focused culture may be contributingWhether you're deeply experienced with channeling or simply curious about consciousness, intuition, and the frontiers of human potential, this conversation bridges rigorous scientific research with practical spiritual exploration in a grounded and thought-provoking way.If you've ever wondered whether channeling is real, how it works, or whether you might already be accessing these abilities, you won't want to miss this episode!Regulate your nervous system with Nuropod, an ear based wearable built on 10+ years of neuroscience research.

  • Re-Air: What is Energy? And Can Energy Therapy Heal?| Phenomena Podcast

    Re-Air: What is Energy? And Can Energy Therapy Heal?| Phenomena Podcast
    Sep 12 2026

    We're sharing an episode Jonathan Cohen appeared on that we think you'll love. Jonathan joined the Phenomena Podcast to help close out its season on energy healing and we wanted to bring that conversation to you!


    What is “energy” in energy healing? Every healer in this series uses the word. Every patient reaches for it. Ancient healing traditions built entire systems around it and modern researchers are striving to study it.


    But what is energy biologically, physically, measurably and how does it move through the body to influence health and healing? In this episode, three renowned scientists offer remarkable visions that, taken together, start to answer this question.


    Martin Picard, PhD, of Columbia University has spent his career studying mitochondria, the body's cellular power sources, and has found them far more connected to our inner experiences, our consciousness, than biomedicine ever assumed, and likely far more central to how we heal.


    Richard Hammerschlag, PhD, co-authored the paper that helped define the modern science of the biofield: the organizing fields of energy and information that operate within the body and extend outward from it. Like the nested Qi fields of older traditions, these are dynamic interrelating layers — energy running all the way in and likely all the way out.


    Neil Theise, MD, of NYU helped identify the interstitium, a remarkable recent major discovery of a fluid-filled network running throughout the body. Consistent with the intuitions of ancient healing systems, it may help explain how signals fundamental to health and healing actually travel, a new communication network in the body previously overlooked by modern medicine.


    Together, these three voices present a compelling, eye-opening, and deeply human vision of the body and mind not as a machine, but as a dynamic energetic ecosystem.

  • CIA Mind Control, MKUltra & Energy Weapons Are Real: Why A Pentagon Advisor Won’t Rule Out Telepathy

    CIA Mind Control, MKUltra & Energy Weapons Are Real: Why A Pentagon Advisor Won’t Rule Out Telepathy
    Sep 11 2026
    What if the next battlefield isn't physical, but your brain?In this episode of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, Dr. James Giordano (Professor Emeritus of Neurology and Biochemistry, Chair Emeritus of the Neuroethics Studies Program at Georgetown University Medical Center, served as the consulting neuroscientist on research into the original cases of Havana Syndrome) explores the rapidly evolving world of neuroscience, cognitive warfare, biowarfare, electromagnetic technologies, consciousness, and the ethical questions shaping the future of humanity.Dr. Giordano examines why he believes the threat of biowarfare deserves far more public attention, revealing examples of biological technologies that could potentially be used to target individuals and discussing how they may influence brain function, physiology, and perception.He also unpacks the history of covert CIA programs like MKUltra and Operation Artichoke, whose objectives included investigating whether people could be involuntarily controlled, hypnotized, or coerced into acting against their own will - including carrying out assassinations.We dive into the science behind electromagnetic frequencies, explaining how electromagnetic energy interacts with neurological systems, how these technologies have become dramatically smaller, more precise, and more portable, and their potential military applications, from disrupting drones and aircraft to crowd-control technologies.Dr. Giordano also explains how sound waves can disorient the nervous system, why symptoms such as headaches and dizziness may vary so widely between individuals, the controversial discussion surrounding microplastics and electrical conductivity, whether visual stimuli can disrupt neurological function, and how Faraday cages may protect against certain electromagnetic energies.Beyond emerging technologies, the discussion explores one of today's biggest questions: Is cognitive warfare already happening through social media algorithms? Dr. Giordano examines how information environments can shape perception, influence decision-making, and potentially become tools of modern conflict.The conversation expands into the frontiers of neuroscience and consciousness, asking whether some individuals possess neurological architectures that enable extraordinary cognitive abilities, how life experiences, trauma, and brain structure influence perception, why entheogens may facilitate profound spiritual experiences, whether neurophysiology can help explain reports of telepathy or remote viewing, and whether quantum processes could play a role in brain function and what those implications might be if they do.Finally, Dr. Giordano tackles the ethics of modern warfare itself: What is truly permissible in war conducted in the name of defense, freedom, or God? How do societies determine who the real enemies are? And why does he believe that when scientists lose their curiosity, they stop being scientists?Whether you're interested in neuroscience, military technology, psychology, consciousness, philosophy, national security, or the future of humanity, this conversation will challenge your assumptions and leave you questioning far more than you expected!For a limited time, get $250 off Cove Pure water filtration at http://www.covepure.com/breakdownEvery self-made person started somewhere.
