225. Lisa Smartt – Literary Specialist / Author / Researcher of the Unravelling - Being of Service
Welcome back to Behind Greatness. We speak with Lisa who joins us from her new abode in Emerald Isle. Lisa is the author of Words at the Threshold. Her book is a fascinating compendium of 7 years' research on (and collection of) people's last words. We are charmed by Lisa's casual and playful demeanour from the get-go. We learn about her research, her own deeply personal experiences with dying loved ones and the emotional wisdom of a particular fireman who helped save a moment. Lisa shared with us her ideas about the consensuality of language, humour in dying, the openness and curiosity of our former childhoods that help to book-end – and Herb. The conversation reaches new depths, touching upon Lisa's personal experience with a certain kind of evil that we started to cover in the previous episode with Alex … and what Lisa has found with the unravelling of speech. My modality is broken. Wow. Episodes mentioned: Dr. Bruce Greysen (ep 69) re NDE research, Rey Hernandez (ep 153, 154) re modalities, Alex Gomez-Marin (ep 224), Emmeline Villar (ep 173).

224. Dr. Alex Gomez-Marin – Physicist / Neuroscientist / Philosopher / Author – Always Seeking
Welcome back! Today, we sit down for a great talk with Alex. He works as a physicist, a neuroscientist, an intellectual activist and an author – and he experiments, researches and explores the invisible things that are very real. We quickly slide into a "no time to lose" rhythm with Alex. For just reason. Alex is consumed with investigating impossible things that happen. As a scientist and a seeker he worries about the obstinacy of materialism and "isms" in general and the rigidity of academia as he sees it. We discuss navigating the two worlds of poo-poo and woo-woo, rigorous inquiry, consciousness, evil, ideas as an instrument and the significance of "smallness". Love. Electrons. Ghosts.

223. Philip Carr-Gomm – Druid / Psychologist / Author – Letting the Big Self In
Thanks for joining us at Behind Greatness. We sit down with Philip Carr-Gomm, who joins us from his home in the country in Sussex, England. Philip works, thinks and plays at the cross-section of psychology and spiritualism. He is an author and lecturer and works as a psychologist and psychotherapist. For decades he has rooted his spiritualism in Druidry and he is one of today's most public Druids. We discuss a ton: trees as our spiritual companions, "surrendering", dropping down a hole in New Zealand, lucid dreaming and the big self, pushing the gorilla down into the basement and another Druid - Winston Churchill. Never quite finished with his exploration, Philip is always making progress.

Today we chat with Abby Lutz who joins us from her backyard in Colorado. Abby is a nurse, a death doula and a consciousness explorer.

Abby brings us through some experiences with patients crossing over, her own similar personal experience, carrying empathy in your toolbox, seeing death versus watching death, trees, the "loss-iness" of words, oppositional defiance disorder, space/seas/deserts, the Octopus and "preparing the others".
